Epilog

Jamal Mohammed Haswari went to trial six months later. He and his cronies were sentenced to spend the rest of their lives in solitary confinement for their terrorist crimes. Haswari had an extra twenty years tacked on for the assault and rape of a federal agent.

The Molina's went to prison for aiding a foreign agency on our soil. Haswari turned State's Evidence.

Arturo Molina skated and is still running the cartel.

The Russian Government sent a strong rebuke to the United States for the murder of their Secretary. When the situation had been discretely explained to them the rebuke was withdrawn.

Kensi Blye returned home with the order that she continue to see a psychologist that Nate recommended. He had to return overseas. He was needed elsewhere.

Marty Deeks didn't receive any disciplinary action for his abuse of Haswari. It seems the man fell down the creaky old steps in the apartment house. He is again seeing Kensi and will continue to help in her recovery. He is also seeing a psychologist for help in keeping Max at bay.

The D.C. team returned home and all went their respective ways.

Gibbs sat down in the living room and rested a moment before lighting the fireplace in preparation of cooking one of his cowboy style steaks for dinner. When he reached into his pocket for the matches to light the fire, he found the crumpled note that had been left under the windshield wiper in Los Angeles. He pulled it out and read it one more time before using it to light the fire. As the flames grew in the fireplace he sat back on the couch and thought of the ending of the case. There was one person who wanted to finish the whole process almost as bad as he had. He saw their face like they stood in front of him. He wanted to pick up the phone and talk with that person but they were on a flight home right now. He quietly spoke. "Thanks Ziver."
