NCIS: LA - 'History'

How many episodes of various TV shows have begun with the making of a cheesy documentary?? This one about Bigfoots (Bigfeet?) in the forest, and then the crew hears a noise, and stumbles over a guy who collapses and dies. DUN DUNN!!!
Sam is trying to be a cool dad for his daughter. He's rented a real space suit. And someone named Morgan is retiring, but they're not sure who Morgan is. They're all talking about their retirement plans - aparently Kensi is going to be president.
The body was ID'd as a guy name Albertson who used to belong to a group of domestic terrorists called the Gun Barrel Party in the 70s. And Hetty acts like she's actually seen a Sasquatch, but won't finish her story. DANGIT!! I want to hear that story!! I hate when she does that. The GBP sent out a manifesto online saying they were coming back and going to 'start a revolution'
There were 8 people in the GBP group but there is only one still alive. Although he's in jail. So Sam and Callen get to go visit him while Deeks and Kensi (the former begrudgingly) goes to the crime scene in the middle of the forest. He tries to get Sam to go to in his place, and they play rock-paper-scissors to decide, and according to Sam the 'East coast rules' mean rock tears paper lol. 
Better idea woulds have been for them to play this ^
Hetty may or may not have given Kensi the Kama Sutra for Christmas, a possibility Deeks finds interesting.
They go to the forest, Kensi finds his blood trail, and Deeks finds... A pile of bear poop.
When Sam and Callen go to the jail, the guy they talk to (Mullins) says that he robbed a bank because he was combatting the 'evil government' or something crazy like that.
Deeks and Kensi find a cabin in the woods that was both 'bigger and neater than Kensi's apartment' and there are women's clothes there, then a lady shows up and kicks Deeks in the crotch and runs off. Kensi tackles her while Deeks limps along and 'supervises' lol. Turns out she's Leah, Albertson's girlfriend, and she had nothing to do with the GBP or his death.
There's a professor-type named Hale who had visited Mullins in jail a lot, and he's writing a book on the GBP. But he didn't even know that Albertson was still alive (until the say before). Then when Callen and Sam are leaving his office, they see a poster with a symbol painted on it symbolising the Red Tide, which is an anarchist group that apparently has a similar manifesto to the GBP, and is planning on crashing a peaceful Occupy protest on the campus.
Kensi and Deeks are going undercover!!! Huzzah!!! He has to stand around holding her purse, which threatens his manhood. And he has to be a janitor again lol
There's the TA named David who Kensi talks to, he hits on her and she pretends to be in Hale's class. She gets in to the protest, and David invites her to Hale's house to take part in a philosophical debate.. And for some reason Hale's not at the protest, because he never comes to rallies anymore, he's 'given up on them making a difference'.
Deeks gets inside Hale's office that is so messy, he shoulda brought a backhoe. Then suddenly a bunch of dumbasses in red sweaters and bandanas over their faces show up and start beating the crap out of people and destroying everything, just for the sake of getting attention. MAN I hate people like that. You are not accomplishing shit, just making a mess and hurting people. Nobody knows what you want, because you don't have a cause, just chaos. It's incredibly stupid. They're not even getting a message across - because they don't even really have one. Such bullshit.
So Kensi, Callen and Sam take down the idiots (Sam of course, gets 2, he knocks one over and then uses their bat to hit a second). Then Deeks radios them all panicked, and says there's a bomb in Hale's office!! Ohh snap... That's not good! So he pulls the alarm and gets everyone out, so Callen and Sam go to check out Hale's house and it explodes right before they get there.
One of the guys they arrested was a punk named Al whose father owns a construction company. The same company had explosives stolen form them - and the serial numbers of those were matched to the ones in the bomb in the office.
When Sam and Callen interview the little brat, he acts all haughty and like he's immune - calls it 'police brutality' for Sam to break his nose, and I call it 'asshole brutality' for him to be waving the baseball bat at a crowd of people!! Then he says "People like you are what make people like me necessary" and I said 'Um, I'm pretty sure it's the other way around...'
But honestly, from his attitude during that entire conversation, all I could think of was this:
Go cry to your daddy, Malfoy...
David (who also happens to be really cute) says that his father died because an insurance company wouldn't let him get surgery that would save his life - and professor Hale took him under his wing. Then he says that he had no idea Hale was writing a book on the GBP.
Deeks rock-paper-scissorses Sam again about having to interview Lea about the teenagers arrested from the protest (Sam switches to West Coast rules and Deeks loses again, then he says that it's 'all part ofhis plan' and Kensi can only shake her head). Lea doesn't know who the kid is, but she does recognize Hale - says he used to visit Albertson, who called him Johnson. Nell figures out that Johnson was one of the the GBP party members who were assumed dead when their cabin full of bombs exploded in the 70s. She says that between the explosion, ensuing fire, and animal scavenging, the bodies were nearly impossible to identify. 
SHE still coulda done it!!!
Then they find Hale, several cities away, getting a fake ID. When they tell this to Al, he makes more outlandish claims and Sam and Callen outwit him with JFK quotes and citing various laws. They eventually convince him to give up information on Hale.  He tells them that Hale has a storage facility where he's storing the dynamite, and is planning to blow up a Fortune 500 company in LA. There's a lot of running and driving and yelling, but they stop him. And he makes rambling crazy statements about how he was making a point, bla, bla, shut up you insane bastard, you're going to jail. FOREVAHH.
Then Callen and Hetty have a conversation about influences, they talk about this guy:
by the name of Deitrich Eckhart, who was Hitler's mentor. And without his twisted influence, the Holocaust may have never happened. Well then. And as they're having this conversation, and it switches to how Hale might have influenced students to becomes radicals - and then their voices overlap a shot of David looking at an article online about Hale being arrested for actually being Johnson, and then he opens up a webpage with  description of how to make a bomb. Oh man... Then Hetty starts talking about how someone could be a positive influence and change someone's life - and there's a knock at David's door and it's Kensi! She asks him if he'd like to go for coffee, and after an awkward pause, he says sure! Then he goes back in and shuts down his laptop and leaves. Aww I'm glad :)
And everyone is partying and eating cake, talking about retiring (apparently Nell will be Kensi's vice-president) and Deeks chellenges Sam one more time, for a peice of cake. Sam says sure, but if he wins, Deeks has to cut off his hair. 
Photo: Don't be the jealous type, there's plenty of "locks" to go around! Miss last night's episode? Watch it now:

Priceless.
Thankfully for all us fans of Deeks and his hair, he finally bests Sam at his own game - by telling the truth "I'm going to throw rock" because he's read The Art of War so many times, that being honest is the best way to outsmart him!! Aaaaand I still don't know who Morgan is.
