Storyline

The US consulate in Sfax (Tunisia) is attacked just as the ambassador is about to leave. The ambassador is taken to safety but some men are killed including a Naval officer whom Sam knows. When Sam learns of this he wants to find the ones who did this so he and Callen go to Tunisia to check the scene even though the area is hot. Kensi and Deeks go to speak to the man's CO who's not happy about what happened and wants them to get the ones who killed him. Later they learn the CO lied about certain things and when asked he refuses to reveal it. Later they learn that the ones they are looking for are trying to get into the country. They think they're going after the ambassador. But when they go over things again they think that the ambassador was not the target.

Wretched
