    Storyline

    Edit
    A retired CIA agent, Potter, dies when a cigar lighter explodes at his posh beachfront house in Malibu, California, near Los Angeles; Callen and company investigate because Hetty requests the case; since retiring, three years ago, Potter made much money by advising movie directors and video-game creators, drawing on his experience with the agency. G and Sam, realizing that something is up with Hetty, check out Potter's pad, where they meet Kensi and Deeks, and where they all find interesting clues; G and Sam check out two chicks, one of whom is dead; they chat up the other one, who talks; the foursome find a bad guy but lose him; both Hetty and Granger disappear; G and Sam forge ahead in defiance of official orders; they find another body and a booby trap, and Sam finds an old friend; then G and Sam, along with Kensi and Deeks, find Hetty, Granger, CIA agents, a gunfight, the bad person behind the entire mess, and the explanation for it. —DocRushing

    • Quotes

      Marty Deeks: [Looking at video footage of scantily clad women at a crime scene] Wait a minute, I know that girl.

      Sam Hanna: Yeah, sure you do.

      Marty Deeks: I do. I know her. Her name is... Natalie. No, no - Nicole. Nicole. Her name is Nicole.

      Kensi Blye: How exactly do you know her?

      Marty Deeks: Names come and go, but you never forget a pretty face like that.

      [points to the screen]

      G. Callen: Yeah, I'm pretty sure that wasn't her face you were looking at.

      Marty Deeks: I'm serious. She works at Seven Star Oasis.

      Kensi Blye: And what is that, a cruise line?

      Marty Deeks: They may take you on a trip around the world, but no. Seven Star Oasis is one of LA's most elite escort services. That right there is one very expensive call girl.
