Storyline

Hotel security cameras show NCIS agent Dan Williams, investigation illegal corrupt Navy arms sales, was fatally injected to simulate cardiac arrest by British vet hired killer Jon 'White' Craig under cover of a sheik's entourage. LA airport customs spot Jon, but Callen decides to follow rather then just arrest him. Learning, with Beal's help, Craig was hired by the Chechen Muslim extremist Grozny Emirate, Callen poses as his back-up and thus learns the target is Emma Mastin, a housewife without a record like her husband, with an angelic six-year old son. The key is her Chechen past as 'black widow' of terrorist leader Vakar, who faked his death and hates her for refusing to be recruited and wants his son at all cost.

Quotes

Special Agent Sam Hanna: Craig is the only one we positively ID in Cyprus. Which means we can't arrest them til right before the hit goes down. Catch them red-handed while they're already on high alert. This is a dangerous op we're talking about. I know it's the only way, but it doesn't mean I gotta like it.
