6 CBS Sync Facts From "Expiration Date" - NCIS: Los Angeles S6 E16

The NCIS: LA team last worked with Jemadar Thapa in Season Five's "The Frozen Lake" to recover a stolen USB drive containing plans to steal Pakistan's nuclear arsenal. Thapa double-crossed the team intending to bring the drive back home to India, but ended up getting captured by the Armenian mob after trying to procure a fake passport. Deeks, having previously worked undercover with this mob in the past, went back under as a lawyer to rescue Thapa and recover the drive.

In their first encounter with Thapa, Sam and Callen were barely able to subdue him in a vicious hand-to-hand fight on the street.
