    I Enjoy This Episode.

    I Enjoy This Episode.

    The NCiS team investigate a bomb in the city.

    Traces back to a restaurant/cafe style place.

    Suspect is seen then pursued the team then leads on as followed.

    The characters are later depicted.

    I am a fan of NCIS L.A and I liked this episode.

    Eric Jungman guest starring also was a good attribute and casting choice for this episode.

      When Adam Malnick is apprehended by Agents Callen and Hanna, he makes a wise crack about giving the agents a "slow clap" for their efforts. The character Malnick is portrayed by Eric Jungmann, who appeared along with Eric Christian Olsen (Deeks) in Not Another Teen Movie (2001), in which the "slow clap" was a running joke.

      The cello looks completely generic in the photograph. Not even a skilled luthier could identify this specific instrument by a cell phone picture. At the very least the picture would need to show the paper label pasted inside the instrument but probably he would have to have a look at the real instrument. Or maybe at his receipt, stuck to the case's handle.
