NCIS: Los Angeles season 9 episode 13 preview: The Hetty mission in ‘Cac Tu Nhan’

For most of NCIS: Los Angeles season 9, the story for Hetty has been building towards a key event. Now, that key event is finally here.

Does Hetty have some hope in Vietnam on NCIS: Los Angeles season 9 episode 13? Yes, absolutely. “Cac Tu Nhan” is the first real glimmer that she’s had for a while, as many of your favorite characters are traveling overseas in order to find her.

The NCIS: Los Angeles season 9 episode 13 synopsis that CarterMatt has for you below offers up some insight regarding what is coming up:

“Cac Tu Nhan” – While Hetty is being tortured by her captors in Vietnam, Eric and Nell find a clue to her whereabouts, prompting the team to organize a rescue mission with very little information, on NCIS: LOS ANGELES, Sunday, Jan. 14 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Carl Lumbly guest stars as Charles Langston and John M. Jackson guest stars as A.J. Chegwidden.

What is the meaning of “Cac Tu Nhan”?

For anyone out there that is curious, it translates to mean “Inmates” in Vietnamese. It doesn’t appear that there is any sort of larger meaning that is present here other than that this episode marks an opportunity to see Hetty as a prisoner … and hopefully get the team closer to bringing her home.

While we’d love to tell you that everyone will be home safe in this episode, we’re not altogether sure about that. After “Cac Tu Nhan” signs point to there being a lengthy hiatus until March (blame the Grammys, the NFL, the Winter Olympics, and the Oscars for it). On the other side of that, you may have an opportunity to check out another story that is going to give you a chance to see whether or not everyone makes it out of Vietnam in one piece. That episode title is called “Goodbye, Vietnam.” One way or another, this arc is going to be the biggest of the entire season so far.
