NCIS: Los Angeles Season 14 Episode 20 recap: Was William Newsome a dirty agent?
Callen’s wedding was drawing closer but he was having trouble figuring out the seating chart for the evening. His fiance was not helping him and he even wanted to limit his future father-in-law to only one plus one.
Suddenly, he received a call from Admiral Kilbride, who asked him to assist the ATF. Apparently, ATF SAC Kerry Adams had lost contact with one of her agents, William Newsome.

William Newsome was searching for some missing military-grade weapons which were stolen a couple of days ago. The missing agent was very close to solving the mystery, but suddenly vanished into thin air. He apparently had gone dark before too, but always managed to resurface after a while. Adams hoped that he would resurface again but she also wanted help from the NCIS.
William Newsome did pop up soon and revealed that he had failed. He thought that the thieves had figured out who he was, so he went dark to protect himself. This put the team in a risky position.
The weapons had to be recovered, but the team also had to investigate Newsome. Once investigation began, his wealth began looking very suspicious, as it gave the impression that he had resorted to crime and bribes because he was tired of his government salary. On the other hand, the hunt for the weapons was still going on in full swing.
William Newsome revealed all details about the weapons to the team, and Kensi and Deeks went to check the location. They were still not sure if they could trust Newsome, but it was soon revealed that he was clean. His daughter’s college fund was being sponsored by her grandfather, and his ex-wife lived a quiet life.
It was ATF SAC Kerry Adams who was corrupt. When the NCIS team went to arrest her, they noticed that she was with another corrupt agent. They opened fire on the team and put them in a position where they could not defend themselves.
The episode ended on a cliffhanger, and the fate of the team will only be revealed in the NCIS: Los Angeles finale episode next week.
