Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:07,050 --> 00:00:08,138
Is he hurt?
2
00:00:08,182 --> 00:00:10,010
She's been shot.
3
00:00:10,053 --> 00:00:11,141
Is that a kennel?
4
00:00:12,534 --> 00:00:13,665
Good Lord.
5
00:00:13,709 --> 00:00:15,145
Your neighbor wasn't
fishing with his dogs.
6
00:00:15,189 --> 00:00:16,755
He was drowning them.
7
00:00:16,799 --> 00:00:18,409
Who the hell are you?
8
00:00:19,845 --> 00:00:21,064
Gibbs, Gibbs, let go.
9
00:00:21,108 --> 00:00:23,458
Not like this.
-Not like this.
-Let go.
10
00:00:23,501 --> 00:00:24,937
Tell me you regret what you did.
11
00:00:24,981 --> 00:00:26,374
-Can't do that.
-In that case,
12
00:00:26,417 --> 00:00:28,898
I have no choice
but to suspend you.
13
00:00:28,941 --> 00:00:30,552
Indefinitely.
14
00:00:33,990 --> 00:00:36,775
I believe in America.
15
00:00:36,819 --> 00:00:39,300
I believe in the working man.
16
00:00:39,343 --> 00:00:44,174
The tired single parent
and part-time volleyball coach.
17
00:00:44,218 --> 00:00:48,004
And I believe in his right
to take a break from all of that
18
00:00:48,048 --> 00:00:51,660
and drive 300 miles
to see his favorite musician.
19
00:00:51,703 --> 00:00:53,357
The Boss.
20
00:00:53,401 --> 00:00:56,143
Who we both know is about
to play an acoustic set
21
00:00:56,186 --> 00:00:59,711
to a very small group
of VIPs.
22
00:00:59,755 --> 00:01:02,062
And I deserve to be one of them.
23
00:01:02,105 --> 00:01:03,976
Please.
24
00:01:04,020 --> 00:01:05,543
Let me in.
25
00:01:05,587 --> 00:01:07,241
No.
26
00:01:07,284 --> 00:01:09,112
I didn't want to play
this card, but...
27
00:01:09,156 --> 00:01:12,898
I have his face
tattooed on my...
28
00:01:12,942 --> 00:01:15,379
Sir, if you drop trou,
29
00:01:15,423 --> 00:01:17,251
I will use my stun gun.
30
00:01:24,475 --> 00:01:26,260
Uh, joke's on you, pal.
31
00:01:26,303 --> 00:01:29,089
After the third time,
it didn't even hurt.
32
00:01:36,661 --> 00:01:38,359
Hello, Washington, D.C.
33
00:01:40,839 --> 00:01:42,885
Are you ready?
34
00:01:42,928 --> 00:01:46,802
We've got an awesome show
for you tonight.
35
00:01:46,845 --> 00:01:48,499
With no further ado ...ss.
36
00:01:48,543 --> 00:01:49,935
I'm coming.
37
00:01:49,979 --> 00:01:52,024
I give you, the live tour,
38
00:01:52,068 --> 00:01:54,766
the Emperor of E Street,
39
00:01:54,810 --> 00:01:57,987
I give you The Boss.
40
00:01:59,162 --> 00:02:00,946
Aah!
41
00:02:09,303 --> 00:02:11,479
Oh...
42
00:02:11,522 --> 00:02:13,829
That's not my blood.
43
00:02:13,872 --> 00:02:15,570
Aah!
44
00:02:49,169 --> 00:02:52,302
Director, I have
Secretary of Defense McClane
45
00:02:52,346 --> 00:02:54,652
for you.
46
00:02:54,696 --> 00:02:56,132
On what line, Pamela?
47
00:02:56,176 --> 00:02:58,613
He's not on the phone, sir.
48
00:02:59,875 --> 00:03:01,355
Director Vance.
49
00:03:01,398 --> 00:03:02,704
Mr. Secretary.
50
00:03:02,747 --> 00:03:04,749
-Welcome.
-My apologies for the surprise.
51
00:03:04,793 --> 00:03:05,924
I'm, um,
52
00:03:05,968 --> 00:03:07,578
I'm squeezing
in face time
53
00:03:07,622 --> 00:03:10,102
with agency heads
when and where I can.
54
00:03:10,146 --> 00:03:12,148
Lieutenant,
give us a minute, please?
55
00:03:15,804 --> 00:03:19,199
Plus, I just wanted to see
if what they tell me is true.
56
00:03:19,242 --> 00:03:21,592
That Leon Vance has
gained ten pounds
57
00:03:21,636 --> 00:03:23,768
and lost his right hook.
58
00:03:24,813 --> 00:03:26,902
You son of a bitch.
59
00:03:26,945 --> 00:03:28,164
Come on, I'll show you.
60
00:03:28,208 --> 00:03:29,339
Come here.
61
00:03:29,383 --> 00:03:31,254
It's more like 20 pounds.
62
00:03:31,298 --> 00:03:33,474
Yeah, right? Right, it's
good to see you, man.
63
00:03:33,517 --> 00:03:35,476
-It's good to see you, too.
-Yeah. Surprised?
64
00:03:35,519 --> 00:03:37,042
What, that Congress
approved your waiver
65
00:03:37,086 --> 00:03:38,392
or that the Senate
actually confirmed you
66
00:03:38,435 --> 00:03:40,307
to be the secretary?
67
00:03:40,350 --> 00:03:42,961
Seriously,
congratulations, Moses.
68
00:03:43,005 --> 00:03:44,485
-Thanks, Leon.
-You also have
my sympathies.
69
00:03:44,528 --> 00:03:46,530
That job is one tough hill
to climb.
70
00:03:46,574 --> 00:03:48,228
Oh, well, I
like those.
71
00:03:48,271 --> 00:03:50,578
It's why the Marine Corps
gave me four stars.
72
00:03:50,621 --> 00:03:53,233
And why my doctor
just gave me new stress meds.
73
00:03:53,276 --> 00:03:54,538
You always go for the knockout.
74
00:03:54,582 --> 00:03:55,800
Oh, you better
believe it.
75
00:03:55,844 --> 00:03:57,193
Starting with...
76
00:03:57,237 --> 00:03:58,934
hosting the Yemeni
foreign affairs minister
77
00:03:58,977 --> 00:04:01,328
at my house later this week.
78
00:04:01,371 --> 00:04:04,331
Forget the knockout, Mose,
you going for the title belt.
79
00:04:04,374 --> 00:04:06,463
The Yemenis agreed to sit down?
80
00:04:06,507 --> 00:04:08,596
Which brings me
to why I'm really here, Leon.
81
00:04:08,639 --> 00:04:10,250
Now, I understand
one of your agents
82
00:04:10,293 --> 00:04:12,643
was recently been suspended for,
83
00:04:12,687 --> 00:04:14,689
shall we say,
conduct unbecoming?
84
00:04:14,732 --> 00:04:17,735
Gibbs. I didn't realize that
that incident
85
00:04:17,779 --> 00:04:19,607
made its way
so far up the ladder.
86
00:04:19,650 --> 00:04:20,825
Well, normally,
it wouldn't,
87
00:04:20,869 --> 00:04:22,305
but a reporter's been calling,
88
00:04:22,349 --> 00:04:26,135
asking for DoD comment,
and the timing isn't ideal.
89
00:04:26,178 --> 00:04:28,398
And any negative press
could spook the Yemenis.
90
00:04:28,442 --> 00:04:31,532
Yeah, which is exactly why
-I'm not returning those calls.
-Mm.
91
00:04:31,575 --> 00:04:34,361
And why I'm asking NCIS
not to comment.
92
00:04:34,404 --> 00:04:36,667
Now, I appreciate the
reporter's position.
93
00:04:36,711 --> 00:04:38,321
We don't need
the court of public opinion
94
00:04:38,365 --> 00:04:40,105
to readjudicate that case.
95
00:04:40,149 --> 00:04:42,630
The matter has been handled,
Mr. Secretary.
96
00:04:42,673 --> 00:04:44,501
But I understand.
97
00:04:44,545 --> 00:04:45,937
Ah.
98
00:04:46,982 --> 00:04:48,113
And...
99
00:04:48,157 --> 00:04:49,593
what about Agent Gibbs?
100
00:04:49,637 --> 00:04:51,552
Gibbs doesn't talk
to reporters.
101
00:04:51,595 --> 00:04:53,380
And neither will his team.
102
00:04:53,423 --> 00:04:55,512
They are skating on thin ice
as it is.
103
00:04:55,556 --> 00:04:57,471
Thanks, Leon.
104
00:04:57,514 --> 00:05:02,476
Listen, politics aside,
Yemen is in crisis.
105
00:05:02,519 --> 00:05:05,696
So this summit has
humanitarian implications.
106
00:05:05,740 --> 00:05:08,351
Is there anything else
NCIS can do for you?
107
00:05:08,395 --> 00:05:12,486
Well, now that you mention it,
there is one small thing.
108
00:05:15,402 --> 00:05:17,447
Oh, thanks, Todd.
109
00:05:19,275 --> 00:05:21,016
Todd seem weird to you?
110
00:05:21,059 --> 00:05:22,757
Todd is not judging us, Bishop.
111
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,325
But you saw him, right?
I mean, he clearly knows.
112
00:05:25,368 --> 00:05:27,327
Everyone at NCIS knows.
113
00:05:27,370 --> 00:05:30,373
That Gibbs got suspended
indefinitely
114
00:05:30,417 --> 00:05:34,812
or that we got caught
trying to protect him?
115
00:05:34,856 --> 00:05:36,553
All of it.
116
00:05:37,685 --> 00:05:39,382
Something we can
help you with, Sawyer?
117
00:05:39,426 --> 00:05:41,515
Justice, McGee.
118
00:05:41,558 --> 00:05:44,256
That is our job
as special agents, right?
119
00:05:44,300 --> 00:05:46,650
To make sure
those who break the rules
120
00:05:46,694 --> 00:05:50,524
face the consequences
of their actions.
121
00:05:50,567 --> 00:05:52,090
Even the cool kids.
122
00:05:52,134 --> 00:05:53,744
Look, Sawyer,
123
00:05:53,788 --> 00:05:55,442
we messed up and we know it,
124
00:05:55,485 --> 00:05:59,924
and we will face
the consequences of our actions.
125
00:05:59,968 --> 00:06:02,623
Except there haven't been
any consequences.
126
00:06:02,666 --> 00:06:04,929
I mean,
Gibbs took it on the chin,
127
00:06:04,973 --> 00:06:07,715
but his disciples
barely got a reprimand.
128
00:06:07,758 --> 00:06:08,977
Why?
129
00:06:09,020 --> 00:06:10,413
Hey, Sawyer.
130
00:06:10,457 --> 00:06:11,501
Go home.
131
00:06:11,545 --> 00:06:13,547
The night shift is over.
132
00:06:13,590 --> 00:06:16,027
Oh, I think it's just beginning.
133
00:06:18,900 --> 00:06:20,902
-What is he talking about?
-Okay, forget it, Nick.
134
00:06:20,945 --> 00:06:23,252
Let's just keep our heads down
and solve the next case
135
00:06:23,295 --> 00:06:24,558
that comes along.
136
00:06:24,601 --> 00:06:26,560
Well, not mine.
137
00:06:28,039 --> 00:06:29,780
NCIS Special Agent
138
00:06:29,824 --> 00:06:31,216
Veronica Tyler.
139
00:06:31,260 --> 00:06:32,696
Yep.
140
00:06:32,740 --> 00:06:34,437
On our way.
141
00:06:34,481 --> 00:06:36,657
Let's go. We got a body.
142
00:06:36,700 --> 00:06:38,746
Hey, Ronnie, you guys
are working the day shift now?
143
00:06:38,789 --> 00:06:40,617
Told you.
144
00:06:41,705 --> 00:06:43,403
A new day is dawning.
145
00:06:43,446 --> 00:06:45,709
Sawyer, stop being a dick
and grab your gear.
146
00:06:50,105 --> 00:06:51,846
Did we just get passed over?
147
00:06:51,889 --> 00:06:54,457
You're being reassigned.
148
00:06:54,501 --> 00:06:56,546
Uh, Director?
149
00:06:56,590 --> 00:06:58,461
Are we being punished, sir?
150
00:06:58,505 --> 00:07:00,550
Well, it depends on what
you consider punishment.
151
00:07:00,594 --> 00:07:02,465
The new
Secretary of Defense
152
00:07:02,509 --> 00:07:05,120
is hosting an event
at his home in three days,
153
00:07:05,163 --> 00:07:07,078
and I'm assigning your team
to the detail.
154
00:07:07,122 --> 00:07:08,602
-Oh, well, then, we're on it.
-Hmm.
155
00:07:08,645 --> 00:07:10,038
Fancy event?
Can't be that bad.
156
00:07:10,081 --> 00:07:11,692
Yeah, dress up a little bit.
157
00:07:11,735 --> 00:07:14,999
I'm sorry,
I-I didn't make myself clear.
158
00:07:15,043 --> 00:07:17,480
I'm not assigning your team
to a security detail.
159
00:07:17,524 --> 00:07:19,526
You won't be attending
the event.
160
00:07:19,569 --> 00:07:21,832
Uh, what kind of detail
is this, sir?
161
00:07:21,876 --> 00:07:23,791
COVID detail.
162
00:07:23,834 --> 00:07:24,966
The three of you
are gonna be
163
00:07:25,009 --> 00:07:26,881
our new health
compliance officers.
164
00:07:26,924 --> 00:07:29,405
I trust you can
handle this assignment
165
00:07:29,449 --> 00:07:31,189
without further embarrassing me,
166
00:07:31,233 --> 00:07:33,453
the agency or yourselves
in any way?
167
00:07:36,281 --> 00:07:38,109
Your jobs depend on it.
168
00:07:38,153 --> 00:07:39,502
Okay, yeah.
We're on it.
169
00:07:39,546 --> 00:07:41,156
-Uh, yes, sir.
Yes, sir, absolutely.
170
00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:42,287
Good.
171
00:07:43,811 --> 00:07:46,291
Yeah, we're
being punished.
172
00:07:58,521 --> 00:08:01,219
Mm, usually take
your coffee to go.
173
00:08:01,263 --> 00:08:03,744
How come you've been
drinking at the counter lately?
174
00:08:03,787 --> 00:08:06,268
-You kicking me out, Elaine?
-No, no, no.
175
00:08:06,311 --> 00:08:09,358
Just wondering if maybe
you retired.
176
00:08:17,409 --> 00:08:18,541
Hey, hon.
177
00:08:18,585 --> 00:08:21,109
-Hi.
-What can I
get for you?
178
00:08:21,152 --> 00:08:22,893
Well...
179
00:08:22,937 --> 00:08:25,156
According to online reviews,
180
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,508
I understand your specialties
are the...
181
00:08:28,551 --> 00:08:30,945
the chicken-fried steak
and the fresh-baked apple pie.
182
00:08:30,988 --> 00:08:32,381
Oh, you did your homework.
183
00:08:32,424 --> 00:08:33,991
I always do.
184
00:08:34,035 --> 00:08:36,080
But that being said,
185
00:08:36,124 --> 00:08:39,388
we know we can't always trust
what's on the Internet.
186
00:08:39,431 --> 00:08:42,304
So I prefer to ask regular,
real people.
187
00:08:44,306 --> 00:08:46,090
You look like real people.
188
00:08:46,134 --> 00:08:48,266
So what should I do?
189
00:08:48,310 --> 00:08:50,181
The steak or the pie?
190
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,098
Coffee.
191
00:08:56,318 --> 00:08:57,493
Coffee.
192
00:08:57,537 --> 00:08:58,799
And a piece
of pie, please.
193
00:08:58,842 --> 00:09:00,278
Okay.
194
00:09:01,889 --> 00:09:03,891
I'm Marcie, by the way.
195
00:09:05,501 --> 00:09:07,285
Gibbs.
196
00:09:10,114 --> 00:09:13,596
So, you got a funky little place
here, Gibbs.
197
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,555
I bet there's lots
of stories that go along
198
00:09:15,598 --> 00:09:18,079
with those plates
of bacon and eggs.
199
00:09:19,297 --> 00:09:20,908
You would know.
200
00:09:22,605 --> 00:09:24,346
How's that?
201
00:09:32,484 --> 00:09:34,486
So, what--
you don't like my picture?
202
00:09:35,966 --> 00:09:37,620
Oh, you don't
like my writing.
203
00:09:38,665 --> 00:09:40,405
I don't like being ambushed.
204
00:09:40,449 --> 00:09:41,668
Look,
205
00:09:41,711 --> 00:09:44,496
your bosses are refusing
to return my calls,
206
00:09:44,540 --> 00:09:46,760
so thought I'd go straight
to the source.
207
00:09:53,636 --> 00:09:55,029
Everything okay?
208
00:09:55,072 --> 00:09:57,640
Should have ordered the steak.
209
00:10:00,164 --> 00:10:03,211
75% alcohol. Wow, this
is the good stuff.
210
00:10:03,254 --> 00:10:04,647
Do you hear yourself, McGee?
211
00:10:04,691 --> 00:10:06,388
We are trained federal agents.
212
00:10:06,431 --> 00:10:07,781
Trained federal agents
213
00:10:07,824 --> 00:10:10,000
who are lucky enough
to still have a job.
214
00:10:10,044 --> 00:10:11,828
You don't put peacocks
in cages.
215
00:10:11,872 --> 00:10:13,787
All right? They need
to show their feathers,
216
00:10:13,830 --> 00:10:15,005
they need to fly away.
217
00:10:15,049 --> 00:10:16,485
Peacocks don't really fly.
218
00:10:16,528 --> 00:10:19,053
They take, like, several
small leaps and a final hop.
219
00:10:19,096 --> 00:10:21,011
Okay, the point
is that we messed up.
220
00:10:21,055 --> 00:10:23,710
But we don't give up. This
is where we prove ourselves.
221
00:10:23,753 --> 00:10:27,017
Now, Sawyer was right.
We are the cool kids.
222
00:10:27,061 --> 00:10:30,107
Mm, were the cool kids.
Past tense.
223
00:10:30,151 --> 00:10:31,456
It could be worse,
224
00:10:31,500 --> 00:10:33,545
So let's do what Vance says
225
00:10:33,589 --> 00:10:34,851
and stick to these
assignments.
226
00:10:34,895 --> 00:10:38,202
Right. Which is why
I've taken the liberty
227
00:10:38,246 --> 00:10:41,902
of dividing up our pre-event
health and safety duties.
228
00:10:41,945 --> 00:10:44,339
Including site evaluation,
229
00:10:44,382 --> 00:10:46,428
sanitizer placement,
230
00:10:46,471 --> 00:10:48,343
and test and vaccine
verification
231
00:10:48,386 --> 00:10:50,345
for everyone on the guest list.
232
00:10:50,388 --> 00:10:51,651
Team Gibbs is down
233
00:10:51,694 --> 00:10:52,695
with PPE?
234
00:10:52,739 --> 00:10:54,305
Sexy.
235
00:10:54,349 --> 00:10:57,744
Although not quite as sexy
as being down with...
236
00:10:57,787 --> 00:10:59,006
Springsteen.
237
00:10:59,049 --> 00:11:01,051
-What?
-Bruce?
238
00:11:01,095 --> 00:11:03,793
And Gaga.
And Bono.
239
00:11:03,837 --> 00:11:06,100
Y-You did not meet
those people.
240
00:11:06,143 --> 00:11:07,841
I had to rule them out
as suspects.
241
00:11:07,884 --> 00:11:11,148
Don't worry, Tyler and I
have plenty of other leads.
242
00:11:11,192 --> 00:11:12,541
Such as?
243
00:11:12,584 --> 00:11:16,458
Sorry, that info
is for the A team only.
244
00:11:16,501 --> 00:11:18,025
Enjoy your stickers.
245
00:11:21,942 --> 00:11:25,162
My desk.
246
00:11:27,208 --> 00:11:28,818
-Hey, Jimmy.
-Hey, Nick.
247
00:11:28,862 --> 00:11:30,864
-I'm still working.
-Oh, no problem.
248
00:11:30,907 --> 00:11:33,910
But I can give you
what I have so far.
249
00:11:33,954 --> 00:11:35,477
Oh, okay.
250
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,218
The victim is
ID'd as, uh,
251
00:11:37,261 --> 00:11:39,046
Marine Lance Corporal
Jesse Flint.
252
00:11:39,089 --> 00:11:40,830
-You already knew that. Duh.
-Duh.
253
00:11:40,874 --> 00:11:42,745
Uh, time of death was
10:30 last night,
254
00:11:42,789 --> 00:11:44,181
so just before he was
found in the dumpster.
255
00:11:44,225 --> 00:11:46,662
And I confirmed that the
cause of death was in fact
256
00:11:46,706 --> 00:11:48,969
three gunshot wounds,
including the one to the head.
257
00:11:49,012 --> 00:11:50,492
Mm. Overkill.
258
00:11:50,535 --> 00:11:52,015
Funny. That's actually
what Agent Sawyer said
259
00:11:52,059 --> 00:11:54,365
at the crime...
260
00:11:54,409 --> 00:11:56,759
Wait a minute,
this isn't your case.
261
00:11:56,803 --> 00:11:57,978
And you're not here
for an update.
262
00:11:58,021 --> 00:12:00,197
What is this
on his hand and arm?
263
00:12:01,938 --> 00:12:03,244
Nick, you...
264
00:12:03,287 --> 00:12:06,073
Purple paint-- that's weird.
265
00:12:07,727 --> 00:12:10,817
Okay, Jimmy,
I'm here for a rapid test.
266
00:12:10,860 --> 00:12:13,428
Just couldn't help yourself,
could you?
267
00:12:13,471 --> 00:12:15,343
I get it, I do.
268
00:12:15,386 --> 00:12:17,998
A murder case
is way more interesting.
269
00:12:18,041 --> 00:12:20,827
Yeah, than a lame COVID
assignment? Hell yeah.
270
00:12:20,870 --> 00:12:23,830
Nick, health and safety
protocols might not be fun,
271
00:12:23,873 --> 00:12:27,616
but the consequences
of not enforcing them...
272
00:12:27,659 --> 00:12:29,052
can be tragic.
273
00:12:29,096 --> 00:12:30,445
Breena.
Of course.
274
00:12:30,488 --> 00:12:33,274
You're right, Jimmy.
I'm sorry.
275
00:12:33,317 --> 00:12:36,277
Honestly, Team Gibbs
should know better.
276
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,627
They made their bed, and now
they have to lie in it.
277
00:12:38,670 --> 00:12:40,890
Yeah, I know. Still,
I feel kind of guilty.
278
00:12:40,934 --> 00:12:43,414
I mean, they just
look so... sad.
279
00:12:43,458 --> 00:12:46,330
Uh, hello?
Sitting right here.
280
00:12:46,374 --> 00:12:50,552
Oh, we know, but this lab
281
00:12:50,595 --> 00:12:52,510
-no-pity zone.
-I'm not here for pity.
282
00:12:52,554 --> 00:12:53,903
I'm here because you have
283
00:12:53,947 --> 00:12:55,949
the only working labeler
in the building.
284
00:12:58,516 --> 00:13:00,823
Looks like the paint
on your victim's body
285
00:13:00,867 --> 00:13:02,520
was number 7863.
286
00:13:02,564 --> 00:13:04,566
Blushing Eggplant.
287
00:13:04,609 --> 00:13:06,568
I hear that color is very in.
288
00:13:06,611 --> 00:13:10,441
Sorry. Not my case.
I'll be quiet.
289
00:13:10,485 --> 00:13:14,315
Well, I doubt our Marine was
up on the latest color trends.
290
00:13:14,358 --> 00:13:16,883
He was more of the, uh,
black and blue type.
291
00:13:16,926 --> 00:13:19,102
Lance Corporal Flint
was in the middle
292
00:13:19,146 --> 00:13:20,800
of a dishonorable discharge
for fighting
293
00:13:20,843 --> 00:13:22,714
and domestic abuse
against his girlfriend.
294
00:13:22,758 --> 00:13:24,412
Interesting.
You know, when you talk to her,
295
00:13:24,455 --> 00:13:25,543
you should, um...
296
00:13:28,111 --> 00:13:29,504
Sorry.
297
00:13:40,471 --> 00:13:42,604
Uh-uh.
You can't put that there.
298
00:13:42,647 --> 00:13:43,823
Oh, no, no, no, no.
299
00:13:43,866 --> 00:13:46,695
I-I measured.
This is optimum distance
300
00:13:46,738 --> 00:13:48,131
between the wet bar
and the restrooms.
301
00:13:48,175 --> 00:13:50,307
It's also where
the secretary of defense
302
00:13:50,351 --> 00:13:53,136
is going to toast the Yemeni
foreign affairs minister,
303
00:13:53,180 --> 00:13:55,791
and the cheap plastic clashes
with the party decor.
304
00:13:55,835 --> 00:13:57,837
And, uh, you are?
305
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,056
Miles Thatcher.
306
00:14:00,100 --> 00:14:01,666
One of SECDEF's personal aides.
307
00:14:01,710 --> 00:14:04,104
I was also aide to his
civilian predecessor.
308
00:14:04,147 --> 00:14:06,802
He would have noticed
-my design choices.
-Where?
309
00:14:06,846 --> 00:14:09,065
Well, the whole patio.
We...
310
00:14:09,109 --> 00:14:11,894
are redecorating everything
for this event.
311
00:14:11,938 --> 00:14:13,635
No, no, no.
Uh, where do you want me
312
00:14:13,678 --> 00:14:14,766
to put the hand sanitizer?
313
00:14:14,810 --> 00:14:16,681
Figure it out.
314
00:14:16,725 --> 00:14:18,509
I'm sure it doesn't take
an advanced degree.
315
00:14:18,553 --> 00:14:20,250
Actually, I have two of those.
316
00:14:20,294 --> 00:14:22,557
Ah. Funny guy.
317
00:14:26,909 --> 00:14:29,390
NCIS was not
on the security list.
318
00:14:29,433 --> 00:14:31,479
Uh, I'm actually here
as a COVID officer,
319
00:14:31,522 --> 00:14:34,177
Mr. Al-Kamal,
and I hate to bother you,
320
00:14:34,221 --> 00:14:37,050
but your embassy has yet
to hand over test data
321
00:14:37,093 --> 00:14:40,227
-and vaccine certifications.
-Yes.
322
00:14:40,270 --> 00:14:43,360
All guests need to file
paperwork with us
323
00:14:43,404 --> 00:14:45,841
-before the event.
-Forgive me, but,
324
00:14:45,885 --> 00:14:49,062
you understand our reluctance
to trust sensitive medical data
325
00:14:49,105 --> 00:14:50,498
to the American
health care system.
326
00:14:50,541 --> 00:14:52,935
I do, I do.
It is not perfect.
327
00:14:52,979 --> 00:14:54,632
My co-pays are a fortune.
328
00:14:54,676 --> 00:14:57,940
Universal health care is
promised in our constitution.
329
00:14:57,984 --> 00:15:00,943
Yes, and I imagine it's hard
to deliver on that promise
330
00:15:00,987 --> 00:15:03,337
in the middle
of a deadly civil war.
331
00:15:03,380 --> 00:15:06,035
I lost my parents two years ago,
332
00:15:06,079 --> 00:15:08,168
and my brother last month.
333
00:15:08,211 --> 00:15:10,605
This summit is important.
334
00:15:10,648 --> 00:15:13,303
My apologies, Agent Bishop.
335
00:15:13,347 --> 00:15:14,696
I'll get you whatever you need.
336
00:15:24,140 --> 00:15:26,099
"Kamal" means perfection, right?
337
00:15:26,142 --> 00:15:29,711
Uh, sorry.
Old habits from boarding school.
338
00:15:29,754 --> 00:15:31,191
You should hear
what happened to kids
339
00:15:31,234 --> 00:15:32,627
who left wrinkles
in their bedsheets.
340
00:15:32,670 --> 00:15:34,368
-Ah.
-You speak Arabic.
341
00:15:34,411 --> 00:15:35,978
Not bad for a COVID officer.
342
00:15:38,328 --> 00:15:42,637
And peacocks can fly.
343
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,161
And according to this,
they don't fly far,
344
00:15:45,205 --> 00:15:48,860
but they can reach
ten miles per hour.
345
00:15:48,904 --> 00:15:50,688
Uh, if you say so.
346
00:16:01,047 --> 00:16:03,005
See, you're an artist.
347
00:16:04,441 --> 00:16:06,835
You feel my pain.
You can't just turn off talent.
348
00:16:06,878 --> 00:16:08,837
Hey, I'd much rather
be at a jazz club
349
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,666
playing some Art Tatum,
but here I am,
350
00:16:11,709 --> 00:16:14,364
practicing John Tesh covers
for the Man.
351
00:16:14,408 --> 00:16:17,628
You know, sometimes
-peacocks get put in cages.
-Yeah, you're telling me.
352
00:16:17,672 --> 00:16:19,195
And after having spent
the last year out of work,
353
00:16:19,239 --> 00:16:21,763
I'm just happy
for a paying gig, brother.
354
00:16:21,806 --> 00:16:23,808
Thanks for listening.
355
00:16:23,852 --> 00:16:25,549
Oh, I appreciate that, man.
356
00:16:25,593 --> 00:16:28,161
Hey, you know what.
-Take a demo CD.
-What?
357
00:16:28,204 --> 00:16:29,901
Yeah, uh, the first track
is called
358
00:16:29,945 --> 00:16:31,816
"I'm Locked in a Cage,
Let Me Out."No.
359
00:16:31,860 --> 00:16:34,776
It's about taking mushrooms
on a airplane.
360
00:16:34,819 --> 00:16:36,517
But, uh, it works
for your thing, too.
361
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,040
Yeah.
362
00:16:39,476 --> 00:16:42,653
3.9 GPA from Johns Hopkins
and MIT,
363
00:16:42,697 --> 00:16:45,613
all to put down stickers.
364
00:16:45,656 --> 00:16:47,006
Yeah, well, at least
you didn't insult
365
00:16:47,049 --> 00:16:48,311
the foreign minister's attaché.
366
00:16:48,355 --> 00:16:52,576
And all I got
-was a bad jazz trip.
-Hm.
367
00:16:52,620 --> 00:16:54,491
You know, I know I said
this assignment could be worse,
368
00:16:54,535 --> 00:16:55,927
but I don't see how.
369
00:16:55,971 --> 00:16:58,887
You got something
on your jacket.
370
00:16:58,930 --> 00:17:01,629
Oh, man.
It's paint.
371
00:17:01,672 --> 00:17:04,588
-What is that, purple?
-No, that's not purple, that's...
372
00:17:04,632 --> 00:17:05,937
Blushing Eggplant.
373
00:17:05,981 --> 00:17:07,113
Wait, that was the same
374
00:17:07,156 --> 00:17:08,375
color paint as the one
375
00:17:08,418 --> 00:17:10,246
that was on the body in autopsy.
376
00:17:10,290 --> 00:17:13,815
Same as our murder victim?
That's quite the coincidence.
377
00:17:13,858 --> 00:17:16,339
Yeah.
It's probably nothing.
378
00:17:16,383 --> 00:17:21,214
Unless he was at SECDEF's
house before he was killed.
379
00:17:21,257 --> 00:17:24,130
-Right.
-Because then we'd
have to assume
380
00:17:24,173 --> 00:17:26,523
it was connected to his death.
381
00:17:26,567 --> 00:17:27,916
Right.
382
00:17:27,959 --> 00:17:30,049
And we'd have to...
383
00:17:30,092 --> 00:17:32,007
investigate.
384
00:17:32,051 --> 00:17:35,054
This is not our case.
We can't do that.
385
00:17:38,057 --> 00:17:40,320
Right?
386
00:17:46,891 --> 00:17:49,938
Our victim is Lance
Corporal Jesse Flint,
387
00:17:49,981 --> 00:17:52,158
and was soon to be
a former lance corporal
388
00:17:52,201 --> 00:17:53,768
thanks to his history
of violence.
389
00:17:53,811 --> 00:17:55,204
Bad Marine, bad dude.
390
00:17:55,248 --> 00:17:58,033
Yeah. So what was he doing
at SECDEF's house?
391
00:17:58,077 --> 00:18:00,122
Look, we don't know
if he was there for sure.
392
00:18:00,166 --> 00:18:03,125
He's not our victim
because it's not our case.
393
00:18:03,169 --> 00:18:04,518
It is now.
394
00:18:04,561 --> 00:18:06,172
Why, because we found
a little paint on him?
395
00:18:06,215 --> 00:18:07,129
-Shh!
-Shh!
396
00:18:07,173 --> 00:18:09,000
You know sound carries in here.
397
00:18:09,044 --> 00:18:10,132
But don't worry,
398
00:18:10,176 --> 00:18:12,134
the paint is not a priority.
399
00:18:12,178 --> 00:18:15,050
The victim worked
as a handyman on the side.
400
00:18:15,094 --> 00:18:16,356
How did you get a clicker?
401
00:18:16,399 --> 00:18:18,662
By following Vance's orders.
402
00:18:19,837 --> 00:18:21,796
Like I was saying,
Lance Corporal Flint
403
00:18:21,839 --> 00:18:23,711
painted houses all over town.
404
00:18:23,754 --> 00:18:24,973
It's a coincidence.
405
00:18:26,235 --> 00:18:27,845
Agent Tyler and I
406
00:18:27,889 --> 00:18:29,456
already have a lead
on the killer.
407
00:18:29,499 --> 00:18:32,111
Seems the victim's
girlfriend skipped town.
408
00:18:32,154 --> 00:18:34,156
Seems suspicious, right?
409
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,158
So stay the hell
out of our case,
410
00:18:36,202 --> 00:18:37,681
or I'm going to Vance.
411
00:18:43,165 --> 00:18:45,559
All right, I know we want to get
involved, but we got to drop it.
412
00:18:45,602 --> 00:18:47,387
You don't drop
a gut feeling, McGee.
413
00:18:47,430 --> 00:18:49,563
Last time, our gut
got us in trouble.
414
00:18:49,606 --> 00:18:52,174
Then we make sure
we get it right.
415
00:18:55,699 --> 00:18:57,353
Was this man
one of the painters?
416
00:18:57,397 --> 00:18:58,833
Did you hire him?
417
00:18:58,876 --> 00:19:01,183
What does this have to do with
health protocols?
418
00:19:01,227 --> 00:19:04,752
Look, you need us to sign off
on the safety of this event,
419
00:19:04,795 --> 00:19:07,929
so... we need answers.
420
00:19:07,972 --> 00:19:09,626
Yes.
421
00:19:09,670 --> 00:19:12,107
He was handing out leaflets
in front of the PX,
422
00:19:12,151 --> 00:19:13,848
and he begged me for a job.
423
00:19:13,891 --> 00:19:15,980
But, like everybody who steps
foot on the property,
424
00:19:16,024 --> 00:19:17,765
I verified that
he was vaccinated.
425
00:19:17,808 --> 00:19:21,116
I only wish
I'd verified his references.
426
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,466
So there was a problem, or ....
427
00:19:23,510 --> 00:19:26,382
But painting requires
an eye for detail.
428
00:19:26,426 --> 00:19:28,732
This guy
might as well be blind.
429
00:19:28,776 --> 00:19:30,821
-Mm.
-You fired him?
430
00:19:30,865 --> 00:19:32,388
I didn't have to.
431
00:19:32,432 --> 00:19:34,564
Two hours into the job
he took a cell phone call
432
00:19:34,608 --> 00:19:36,044
and walked away.
433
00:19:36,087 --> 00:19:37,567
I never heard from him again.
434
00:19:38,612 --> 00:19:40,483
Ah, damn piano player.
435
00:19:42,137 --> 00:19:43,573
Excuse me.
436
00:19:45,271 --> 00:19:47,925
Hmm. Do you still think
we should drop it?
437
00:19:47,969 --> 00:19:49,579
Yeah.
438
00:19:49,623 --> 00:19:52,756
Our dead painter may have
been acting strange,
439
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,410
but it still doesn't
prove anything.
440
00:19:54,454 --> 00:19:56,804
I say we go check out
his work van
441
00:19:56,847 --> 00:19:57,892
and see what he was up to.
442
00:19:57,935 --> 00:19:59,241
This is not our job.
443
00:19:59,285 --> 00:20:02,201
Not yet.
444
00:20:04,290 --> 00:20:05,726
Hey, guys.
445
00:20:05,769 --> 00:20:07,336
How's it going?
446
00:20:07,380 --> 00:20:08,772
Got an update, Palmer?
447
00:20:08,816 --> 00:20:10,034
Uh, no, no, no, no.
448
00:20:10,078 --> 00:20:11,775
So what are you doing here?
449
00:20:11,819 --> 00:20:14,604
Oh, that's right, yes.
I have a few questions for you.
450
00:20:14,648 --> 00:20:18,042
Uh, did you find
the victim's girlfriend?
451
00:20:18,086 --> 00:20:20,219
Did you find anything unusual
in his apartment or vehicle?
452
00:20:20,262 --> 00:20:22,960
And did you find
a computer or cell phone?
453
00:20:23,004 --> 00:20:25,398
You're not even
trying to hide it, are you?
454
00:20:28,879 --> 00:20:30,316
Team Gibbs sent you.
455
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,361
Of course they did.
I'm trying to confirm
456
00:20:32,405 --> 00:20:34,015
the victim's COVID
contact tracing.
457
00:20:34,058 --> 00:20:35,538
Did the body test positive?
458
00:20:35,582 --> 00:20:38,324
Uh, no, no, but
as you said, uh,
459
00:20:38,367 --> 00:20:41,152
"He was painting houses
all over town."
460
00:20:41,196 --> 00:20:43,633
Yes. Why?
461
00:20:43,677 --> 00:20:45,853
Well, then, despite
a negative COVID test,
462
00:20:45,896 --> 00:20:47,420
his close relations
and/or possessions
463
00:20:47,463 --> 00:20:49,160
could have been exposed.
464
00:20:49,204 --> 00:20:52,033
What? Uh...
How?
465
00:20:52,076 --> 00:20:53,948
That's for the compliance
officer to determine.
466
00:20:53,991 --> 00:20:55,689
But in my medical opinion,
467
00:20:55,732 --> 00:20:58,300
we should just test all
the evidence. You know, just...
468
00:20:58,344 --> 00:21:00,171
-just in case.
-This is absurd.
469
00:21:00,215 --> 00:21:01,912
Team Gibbs is just using you
470
00:21:01,956 --> 00:21:03,349
to nose into this case.
471
00:21:03,392 --> 00:21:06,482
Agent Sawyer, our job
is to help the team.
472
00:21:06,526 --> 00:21:08,919
Now, do your job.
473
00:21:18,625 --> 00:21:20,322
Gibbs.
474
00:21:20,366 --> 00:21:23,020
Yeah, I-I'm glad
to get your call.
475
00:21:23,064 --> 00:21:24,761
I spoke with the IG.
476
00:21:24,805 --> 00:21:27,068
I think it's time
we talk next steps.
477
00:21:27,111 --> 00:21:29,113
I'm not calling
about that, Director.
478
00:21:29,157 --> 00:21:30,419
A reporter came to see me.
479
00:21:30,463 --> 00:21:32,856
I heard, uh, someone's
been asking questions.
480
00:21:32,900 --> 00:21:34,902
I hear someone's
not answering them.
481
00:21:37,992 --> 00:21:41,561
NCIS has been asked not
to comment on the story, Gibbs.
482
00:21:41,604 --> 00:21:44,128
There is no story.
Just truth.
483
00:21:44,172 --> 00:21:47,610
I agree. But the matter
has already been handled,
484
00:21:47,654 --> 00:21:49,220
internally and appropriately.
485
00:21:49,264 --> 00:21:51,135
Then tell them that.
486
00:21:51,179 --> 00:21:55,052
I refuse to publicly throw
one of my agents under the bus.
487
00:21:55,096 --> 00:21:56,967
I don't want protection.
488
00:21:57,011 --> 00:21:59,622
Yeah, you've made that
perfectly clear.
489
00:21:59,666 --> 00:22:02,495
Between beating a man half to
death and refusing to apologize,
490
00:22:02,538 --> 00:22:05,324
I seem to be the only one
saving you from yourself.
491
00:22:05,367 --> 00:22:07,064
And quite frankly, Gibbs,
492
00:22:07,108 --> 00:22:08,370
I'm getting tired of it.
493
00:22:08,414 --> 00:22:09,806
Yeah?
Then stop.
494
00:22:13,723 --> 00:22:16,422
Hey, Luce?
Come on.
495
00:22:16,465 --> 00:22:17,858
Lunch.
496
00:22:24,473 --> 00:22:27,084
Well, that's everything.
497
00:22:27,128 --> 00:22:32,002
No evidence in the murder case,
and no damn COVID.
498
00:22:32,046 --> 00:22:33,700
-Happy now?
-Mm.
499
00:22:38,618 --> 00:22:39,793
Yeah, Tyler.
500
00:22:42,535 --> 00:22:43,971
On my way.
501
00:22:46,190 --> 00:22:47,714
We found the
missing girlfriend.
502
00:22:47,757 --> 00:22:49,977
I'll make sure to get
her contact tracing history.
503
00:22:52,109 --> 00:22:53,937
You didn't answer his question.
504
00:22:53,981 --> 00:22:55,765
-Are you happy now?
-No.
505
00:22:55,809 --> 00:22:57,506
-And why not?
-For starters,
506
00:22:57,550 --> 00:23:01,336
what was our handyman
doing with hypodermic needles
507
00:23:01,380 --> 00:23:03,120
in his work van, hmm?
508
00:23:03,164 --> 00:23:05,775
Don't know.
Mixing paint colors?
509
00:23:05,819 --> 00:23:08,212
You know, that was Sawyer's
theory, but our dead guy
510
00:23:08,256 --> 00:23:09,736
was not a
paint wizard.
511
00:23:09,779 --> 00:23:14,393
So, can you please
run the needles, Kase?
512
00:23:14,436 --> 00:23:17,657
Of course. I'll have the results
to you by the end of the week.
513
00:23:17,700 --> 00:23:18,397
That long?
514
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,311
My plate is full.
515
00:23:20,355 --> 00:23:21,530
When you aren't the lead agents,
516
00:23:21,574 --> 00:23:23,619
your stuff
goes to the bottom of the pile.
517
00:23:23,663 --> 00:23:26,535
-Okay.
-There are other agents
in this building.
518
00:23:26,579 --> 00:23:30,104
And as annoying as some
of those agents may be...
519
00:23:30,147 --> 00:23:31,758
we're a team.
520
00:23:31,801 --> 00:23:34,804
Which is why
you should look at this.
521
00:23:38,025 --> 00:23:40,288
Somebody wrote down
a paint code.
522
00:23:40,331 --> 00:23:42,029
9949.
523
00:23:42,072 --> 00:23:43,596
Jade Garden?
524
00:23:43,639 --> 00:23:46,947
It's not in any
of these paint catalogues.
525
00:23:46,990 --> 00:23:48,078
Custom color?
526
00:23:48,122 --> 00:23:49,863
Or a street
address?
527
00:23:49,906 --> 00:23:53,823
Garden could be a street suffix,
like court or lane.
528
00:23:53,867 --> 00:23:55,869
Which would mean the lead agents
missed a clue.
529
00:23:55,912 --> 00:23:57,523
Mm. That's what
I'm saying.
530
00:23:57,566 --> 00:24:01,483
Okay, but your stuff still goes
to the bottom of the pile.
531
00:24:02,615 --> 00:24:04,921
Are you sure this is
9949 Jade Garden?
532
00:24:04,965 --> 00:24:06,183
Yep.
533
00:24:07,228 --> 00:24:09,622
Federal agents.
Hello?
534
00:24:12,189 --> 00:24:13,756
No power.
535
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,237
Ah.
Yes there is.
536
00:24:19,762 --> 00:24:21,590
I am
completely
537
00:24:21,634 --> 00:24:23,636
flashing back to my days
doing musical theatre.
538
00:24:23,679 --> 00:24:25,289
Ooh.
Godspell.
539
00:24:25,333 --> 00:24:27,117
Please sing.
540
00:24:27,161 --> 00:24:30,077
-Forgot the words.
-Ah.
541
00:24:30,120 --> 00:24:31,600
Wonder what our, uh,
handyman was doing
542
00:24:31,644 --> 00:24:33,036
with the address of this place.
543
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,909
Mm, maybe
another side job?
544
00:24:35,952 --> 00:24:38,172
What did, uh,
Agent Tyler think?
545
00:24:38,215 --> 00:24:40,304
Are they meeting
us here, or...
546
00:24:40,348 --> 00:24:42,002
Uh...
547
00:24:42,045 --> 00:24:43,786
Are you s... Really?
You didn't call them?
548
00:24:43,830 --> 00:24:47,529
Okay, McGee, we were waiting
to find something more relevant.
549
00:24:47,573 --> 00:24:49,183
Hey, yo.
550
00:24:49,226 --> 00:24:50,967
I think we just did.
551
00:24:58,671 --> 00:25:00,499
What is all this?
552
00:25:02,109 --> 00:25:04,503
I recognize this place.
553
00:25:04,546 --> 00:25:06,287
All these photos are
from SECDEF's house.
554
00:25:06,330 --> 00:25:08,724
Yeah, the handyman wasn't
painting the house.
555
00:25:08,768 --> 00:25:10,204
He was casing
the joint.
556
00:25:10,247 --> 00:25:11,553
For what?
557
00:25:11,597 --> 00:25:14,251
Something he wanted
to keep secret.
558
00:25:15,252 --> 00:25:16,950
Nobody move.
559
00:25:28,918 --> 00:25:30,920
This place is wired to blow.
560
00:25:39,581 --> 00:25:41,409
-Director.
-Gentlemen.
561
00:25:43,585 --> 00:25:45,282
Well, you've been busy.
562
00:25:45,326 --> 00:25:48,242
How'd the COVID officers
end up defusing bombs?
563
00:25:48,285 --> 00:25:50,679
Well, sir, during the, uh,
course of our assignment,
564
00:25:50,723 --> 00:25:53,073
we discovered
that SECDEF McClane's house
565
00:25:53,116 --> 00:25:55,466
had recently been painted
by our murder victim.
566
00:25:55,510 --> 00:25:58,557
A bad color to match a bad guy.
567
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,210
Yes, I read the file.
568
00:26:00,254 --> 00:26:02,778
Lance Corporal Flint
had a history of violence.
569
00:26:02,822 --> 00:26:04,258
And we wanted
to make sure his murder
570
00:26:04,301 --> 00:26:06,129
didn't pose a security threat
to the summit.
571
00:26:06,173 --> 00:26:07,957
Hmm.
-So we investigated.
572
00:26:08,001 --> 00:26:10,394
And?
Does it pose a threat?
573
00:26:10,438 --> 00:26:11,787
Oh, more than we knew.
574
00:26:11,831 --> 00:26:14,007
We-we found weapons, phony IDs,
575
00:26:14,050 --> 00:26:16,183
even, uh, an offshore bank
account with $100,000 in it.
576
00:26:16,226 --> 00:26:17,663
We also
577
00:26:17,706 --> 00:26:21,797
found, uh, surveillance photos,
all of SECDEF McClane.
578
00:26:21,841 --> 00:26:25,627
We believe the murder victim
was also a hit man.
579
00:26:25,671 --> 00:26:28,456
And SECDEF was his next target.
580
00:26:28,499 --> 00:26:30,893
Thankfully, they were never
at the house at the same time.
581
00:26:30,937 --> 00:26:32,634
So who hired
this hit man?
582
00:26:32,678 --> 00:26:34,636
And is the hit still active?
583
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,159
Well, we don't know yet.
584
00:26:36,203 --> 00:26:37,770
But we are on it, Director.
585
00:26:37,813 --> 00:26:39,685
No, you're not.
586
00:26:39,728 --> 00:26:42,949
As much as I appreciate your
carefully-worded explanation,
587
00:26:42,992 --> 00:26:47,127
this team has once again
overstepped bounds.
588
00:26:47,170 --> 00:26:49,303
Where are Agents
-Tyler and Sawyer?
We were planning
589
00:26:49,346 --> 00:26:51,392
on sharing everything
that we found with them, sir.
590
00:26:51,435 --> 00:26:54,743
Yes. You're also going to follow
their orders from here on out.
591
00:26:54,787 --> 00:26:57,093
They still
have lead.
592
00:26:57,137 --> 00:26:58,268
Understood?
593
00:27:02,751 --> 00:27:04,144
We found the victim's
girlfriend.
594
00:27:04,187 --> 00:27:07,016
Turns out she has an alibi,
so-- not our killer.
595
00:27:07,060 --> 00:27:10,019
But we did get into Flint's
encrypted email account.
596
00:27:11,064 --> 00:27:12,326
He exchanged messages
597
00:27:12,369 --> 00:27:14,241
with whoever hired
him to kill SECDEF.
598
00:27:14,284 --> 00:27:16,286
Still nothing
to identify that person,
599
00:27:16,330 --> 00:27:19,159
but the emails show Flint
was blackmailing his employer.
600
00:27:19,202 --> 00:27:22,553
"If you want to stay anonymous,
I want more money."
601
00:27:22,597 --> 00:27:23,859
Could be motive for murder.
602
00:27:23,903 --> 00:27:25,426
So you think
whoever hired the hit man
603
00:27:25,469 --> 00:27:26,688
also killed him.
604
00:27:26,732 --> 00:27:27,907
That makes sense.
605
00:27:27,950 --> 00:27:29,735
What we really need is a list
606
00:27:29,778 --> 00:27:31,345
of who wants SECDEF dead.
607
00:27:31,388 --> 00:27:33,956
You know, background stuff.
608
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:35,741
Computer stuff.
609
00:27:35,784 --> 00:27:36,742
Nerd stuff.
610
00:27:36,785 --> 00:27:38,526
-You got a problem with that?
-Yes.
611
00:27:38,569 --> 00:27:40,571
SECDEF's life is in danger
and you're playing petty games.
612
00:27:40,615 --> 00:27:42,399
Oh, I'm not playing games.
613
00:27:42,443 --> 00:27:44,401
I simply don't trust you.
614
00:27:44,445 --> 00:27:46,490
What the hell
do you want from us?
615
00:27:46,534 --> 00:27:48,928
-I want you to stop screwing up.
-Whoa. Sawyer.
616
00:27:48,971 --> 00:27:52,018
NCIS is a team.
617
00:27:52,061 --> 00:27:55,848
And when you screw up,
it makes us all look bad.
618
00:28:06,293 --> 00:28:08,295
Lucy, stay.
619
00:28:19,045 --> 00:28:20,742
I come bearing gifts.
620
00:28:20,786 --> 00:28:22,352
A peace offering.
621
00:28:22,396 --> 00:28:24,180
It's a steak.
622
00:28:25,442 --> 00:28:27,096
Maybe.
623
00:28:27,140 --> 00:28:29,055
No, it's not.
624
00:28:30,143 --> 00:28:32,014
I was never
given the opportunity
625
00:28:32,058 --> 00:28:34,930
to explain myself
at the diner the other day.
626
00:28:34,974 --> 00:28:37,106
First, that was not an act.
627
00:28:37,150 --> 00:28:39,108
And it certainly
was not an ambush.
628
00:28:39,152 --> 00:28:40,980
That's not who I am.
629
00:28:41,023 --> 00:28:44,940
I was merely trying
to work my way up into a...
630
00:28:44,984 --> 00:28:48,639
a very nice introduction
by use of a little small talk.
631
00:28:48,683 --> 00:28:51,077
But by then,
it was too late, so...
632
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:52,948
here I am.
633
00:28:55,298 --> 00:28:56,735
Why?
634
00:28:56,778 --> 00:28:58,214
Because I want
to give you something
635
00:28:58,258 --> 00:29:00,390
more than just this steak.
636
00:29:05,918 --> 00:29:08,007
Ignore the loquacious patron
from the diner and just...
637
00:29:08,050 --> 00:29:10,531
just read my work.
638
00:29:10,574 --> 00:29:14,230
There are newspaper articles
and magazine columns.
639
00:29:14,274 --> 00:29:17,190
But what I am most proud of
is my investigative work.
640
00:29:17,233 --> 00:29:18,887
Which is about
exposing the truth.
641
00:29:18,931 --> 00:29:21,629
And I know you know something
about the truth,
642
00:29:21,672 --> 00:29:23,805
and I want to be the one
to write about it.
643
00:29:25,807 --> 00:29:28,201
Because that's who I am.
644
00:29:37,645 --> 00:29:40,213
In that case, I, uh...
645
00:29:40,256 --> 00:29:42,258
I thank you for your time.
646
00:29:42,302 --> 00:29:45,348
Enjoy the... whatever that is,
647
00:29:45,392 --> 00:29:47,916
and good luck
on your boat engine.
648
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,049
Wait, wait.
My what?
649
00:29:50,092 --> 00:29:51,790
Your boat...
650
00:29:51,833 --> 00:29:54,967
That's a carburetor
for a Graymarine Phantom, right?
651
00:29:57,752 --> 00:30:00,624
I hear they're
a pain in the ass.
652
00:30:07,893 --> 00:30:09,851
Are you waiting
to see Secretary McClane?
653
00:30:09,895 --> 00:30:13,115
Yes. He's inside, uh, meeting
with his security detail.
654
00:30:13,159 --> 00:30:16,249
My embassy was informed
of the threat on his life.
655
00:30:16,292 --> 00:30:18,686
I'm afraid the summit
must be cancelled.
656
00:30:18,729 --> 00:30:20,557
Maybe it can happen
another time?
657
00:30:21,907 --> 00:30:23,865
A foreign minister
meeting on U.S. soil
658
00:30:23,909 --> 00:30:26,389
has already caused
outcry back home.
659
00:30:26,433 --> 00:30:29,523
The chances of it
happening again are very small.
660
00:30:29,566 --> 00:30:30,654
I'm sorry.
661
00:30:30,698 --> 00:30:32,656
So am I, Agent Bishop.
662
00:30:34,223 --> 00:30:35,964
With my would-be assassin dead,
663
00:30:36,008 --> 00:30:38,575
I was hoping that the threat
had been neutralized.
664
00:30:38,619 --> 00:30:39,968
We still have to find
whoever hired him, sir.
665
00:30:40,012 --> 00:30:41,187
That's why I'm here.
666
00:30:41,230 --> 00:30:43,406
What, to ask me
about my enemies?
667
00:30:44,538 --> 00:30:46,061
That could take a while.
668
00:30:46,105 --> 00:30:47,497
Would you excuse
us, please?
669
00:30:47,541 --> 00:30:49,891
I understand.
Mr. Secretary.
670
00:30:49,935 --> 00:30:51,719
Thank you.
671
00:30:51,762 --> 00:30:53,286
Please.
672
00:30:53,329 --> 00:30:54,983
Ah.
Thank you.
673
00:30:55,027 --> 00:30:57,420
Well...
674
00:30:57,464 --> 00:31:00,597
there goes any chance
of real progress.
675
00:31:04,950 --> 00:31:07,387
They're kidney meds,
Agent Bishop.
676
00:31:07,430 --> 00:31:11,043
Damn stress will probably kill
me long before any assassin.
677
00:31:16,526 --> 00:31:19,573
Vital foreign policy decisions
should not be determined
678
00:31:19,616 --> 00:31:22,489
by a bunch
of damn Internet crazies.
679
00:31:22,532 --> 00:31:24,970
Sounds like you know
who's behind this.
680
00:31:25,013 --> 00:31:27,146
No. No, I...
681
00:31:27,189 --> 00:31:29,975
Look, just forget
I said anything.
682
00:31:30,018 --> 00:31:32,586
Even if it means a chance
at saving your summit?
683
00:31:38,679 --> 00:31:41,290
I made a bad call ten years ago.
684
00:31:42,726 --> 00:31:44,511
It was a mistake
685
00:31:44,554 --> 00:31:47,427
that I deeply regret.
686
00:31:47,470 --> 00:31:49,646
SECDEF wasn't kidding.
This was a bad call.
687
00:31:49,690 --> 00:31:51,431
There was, uh,
an Al-Qaeda standoff
688
00:31:51,474 --> 00:31:53,824
near an Iraqi oil refinery.
689
00:31:53,868 --> 00:31:56,305
And rather than
try and negotiate,
690
00:31:56,349 --> 00:31:59,613
General McClane
took a different approach.
691
00:31:59,656 --> 00:32:01,093
All hell broke loose
and the refinery
692
00:32:01,136 --> 00:32:02,964
burned to the ground.
693
00:32:03,008 --> 00:32:04,357
Do people want him dead
for this?
694
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:05,924
There's this online
community that thinks
695
00:32:05,967 --> 00:32:07,751
the incident
is some kind of
696
00:32:07,795 --> 00:32:09,579
massive conspiracy.
697
00:32:09,623 --> 00:32:12,017
SECDEF "purposely
destroyed the refinery
698
00:32:12,060 --> 00:32:14,933
to cover up his secret
ties to oil barons."
699
00:32:14,976 --> 00:32:18,197
Radical user groups
have been posting death threats.
700
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:19,720
Gives us a lot of suspects.
701
00:32:19,763 --> 00:32:21,940
Oh, I think
I can help with that.
702
00:32:21,983 --> 00:32:24,855
You listened
to the piano player's demo CD?
703
00:32:24,899 --> 00:32:27,380
I did more than listen.
Check your email.
704
00:32:27,423 --> 00:32:29,077
Hmm.
705
00:32:29,121 --> 00:32:31,514
Security records
for the summit.
706
00:32:31,558 --> 00:32:34,300
You reran the entire guest list.
707
00:32:34,343 --> 00:32:36,780
-I was looking for red flags.
-You find any?
708
00:32:36,824 --> 00:32:38,391
Yeah.
The last name on this CD
709
00:32:38,434 --> 00:32:39,870
doesn't match the one
on the list.
710
00:32:42,134 --> 00:32:45,746
Kendle Spotnitz is actually
Kendle Radcliffe.
711
00:32:45,789 --> 00:32:47,226
Why would he use
a phony ID?
712
00:32:47,269 --> 00:32:49,097
Because the piano player
713
00:32:49,141 --> 00:32:51,012
has a rap sheet
for drug possession.
714
00:32:51,056 --> 00:32:52,361
He would have failed
the background check.
715
00:32:52,405 --> 00:32:53,580
Nice catch.
716
00:32:53,623 --> 00:32:54,885
You did all this on your own?
717
00:32:54,929 --> 00:32:57,410
Oh, hell no.
I practically begged the, uh...
718
00:32:57,453 --> 00:32:59,542
cyber crime unit.
719
00:32:59,586 --> 00:33:01,022
Damn, you
nerded hard.
720
00:33:01,066 --> 00:33:02,502
I nerded real hard.
721
00:33:02,545 --> 00:33:04,591
Okay, hang on.
Check this out.
722
00:33:04,634 --> 00:33:07,681
Piano player talked to
our Internet crazies.
723
00:33:07,724 --> 00:33:09,900
And he seemed to hate the Man.
724
00:33:09,944 --> 00:33:11,467
I think that's motive.
725
00:33:11,511 --> 00:33:12,903
Well, let's ask him.
726
00:33:12,947 --> 00:33:14,731
Okay, okay.
727
00:33:14,775 --> 00:33:17,908
Now, we can't go anywhere until
we talk to Tyler and Sawyer.
728
00:33:17,952 --> 00:33:19,693
Hold on, hold on.
729
00:33:24,002 --> 00:33:25,220
No answer.
730
00:33:27,048 --> 00:33:28,832
We should call Agent Tyler again
just in case.
731
00:33:28,876 --> 00:33:30,965
Don't bother. We can
handle a jazz musician.
732
00:33:31,009 --> 00:33:32,401
Okay.
733
00:33:35,404 --> 00:33:37,406
Federal agents.
734
00:33:39,626 --> 00:33:40,714
NCIS!
735
00:33:41,758 --> 00:33:43,064
Whoa!
736
00:33:43,108 --> 00:33:44,457
Easy.
737
00:33:44,500 --> 00:33:45,980
It's just us.
738
00:33:47,721 --> 00:33:49,636
Didn't you see the cop outside?
739
00:33:49,679 --> 00:33:51,333
No, there was no cop outside.
740
00:33:51,377 --> 00:33:52,856
We heard a crash.
741
00:33:52,900 --> 00:33:54,423
I dropped a dish.
742
00:33:54,467 --> 00:33:56,295
-Where's Kendle?
-Relax.
743
00:33:56,338 --> 00:33:58,253
He's not going anywhere.
744
00:34:06,348 --> 00:34:08,089
He was dead when we found him.
745
00:34:08,133 --> 00:34:09,960
What happened?
746
00:34:10,004 --> 00:34:11,658
I have a better question.
747
00:34:12,659 --> 00:34:14,530
What the hell are you two
even doing here?
748
00:34:22,930 --> 00:34:25,106
We traced the earlier emails
to an IP address
749
00:34:25,150 --> 00:34:26,760
at the piano player's apartment.
750
00:34:26,803 --> 00:34:28,588
That's how we
beat you there.
751
00:34:29,676 --> 00:34:30,851
Sorry.
752
00:34:30,894 --> 00:34:32,896
When we arrived,
we found Kendle Radcliffe
753
00:34:32,940 --> 00:34:35,464
dead in his bathtub,
single intraoral gunshot wound.
754
00:34:35,508 --> 00:34:37,510
GSR on his hand
says suicide.
755
00:34:37,553 --> 00:34:39,294
We then found
a laptop containing
756
00:34:39,338 --> 00:34:41,688
the same blackmail messages
from our hitman.
757
00:34:41,731 --> 00:34:44,256
So the piano player
hired the hitman,
758
00:34:44,299 --> 00:34:46,432
killed the hitman,
and then killed himself.
759
00:34:46,475 --> 00:34:48,260
The Glock used in the suicide
was a match
760
00:34:48,303 --> 00:34:49,652
to the murder weapon.
761
00:34:49,696 --> 00:34:52,612
Which means the dead
piano player is our killer.
762
00:34:52,655 --> 00:34:54,222
Case closed.
763
00:34:54,266 --> 00:34:56,790
SECDEF's event is
back on for tonight.
764
00:35:00,968 --> 00:35:03,971
This is the part
where you congratulate us.
765
00:35:04,014 --> 00:35:05,494
Where do you think
the piano player
766
00:35:05,538 --> 00:35:07,148
got the money
to hire a hitman?
767
00:35:07,192 --> 00:35:09,194
He hasn't worked for a year.
768
00:35:09,237 --> 00:35:11,283
And why kill himself?
769
00:35:11,326 --> 00:35:15,200
You said the guy used a fake ID
to get the gig at SECDEF's.
770
00:35:15,243 --> 00:35:18,333
He knew it was only a matter
of time until we found out.
771
00:35:18,377 --> 00:35:19,378
And what about the money?
772
00:35:19,421 --> 00:35:21,249
We suspect he crowdsourced it
773
00:35:21,293 --> 00:35:23,425
from his fellow
Internet crazies.
774
00:35:23,469 --> 00:35:25,862
I don't know. Seems
kind of convenient.
775
00:35:25,906 --> 00:35:27,386
Yeah, a little
too convenient.
776
00:35:27,429 --> 00:35:28,517
I don't believe this.
777
00:35:28,561 --> 00:35:29,605
There is no evidence
778
00:35:29,649 --> 00:35:30,737
that the hit is still active
779
00:35:30,780 --> 00:35:32,695
and everyone involved is dead.
780
00:35:32,739 --> 00:35:34,654
What more do you want?
781
00:35:34,697 --> 00:35:37,570
It just feels like
we're missing something.
782
00:35:37,613 --> 00:35:40,138
Do you have anything
to prove that?
783
00:35:40,181 --> 00:35:42,792
Other than some gut feeling?
784
00:35:45,926 --> 00:35:47,057
Then it's over.
785
00:35:49,364 --> 00:35:50,670
Well, unless...
786
00:35:51,758 --> 00:35:54,413
Unless your feeling's
strong enough to call Vance.
787
00:36:01,159 --> 00:36:03,596
No.
Congrats on the win.
788
00:36:06,076 --> 00:36:08,209
Guys, we did the right thing.
789
00:36:08,253 --> 00:36:10,168
Then why does it
feel so wrong?
790
00:36:10,211 --> 00:36:12,213
Thought I said
this was a no-pity zone.
791
00:36:12,257 --> 00:36:14,084
What are y'all doing in here?
792
00:36:14,128 --> 00:36:15,260
We have a gut feeling.
793
00:36:15,303 --> 00:36:16,565
You mean the feeling
794
00:36:16,609 --> 00:36:17,914
that something doesn't add up
795
00:36:17,958 --> 00:36:20,090
and the answer
is staring us in the face?
796
00:36:20,134 --> 00:36:21,179
Yeah, how'd you know?
797
00:36:21,222 --> 00:36:23,050
Because I have
the same feeling.
798
00:36:23,093 --> 00:36:26,053
I've been processing evidence
from the suicide scene.
799
00:36:26,096 --> 00:36:27,272
Please tell us
you got something.
800
00:36:27,315 --> 00:36:29,230
Like last-minute evidence
801
00:36:29,274 --> 00:36:31,232
that could crack
this case wide open?
802
00:36:31,276 --> 00:36:32,407
-Uh, yeah.
-Yes, no,
803
00:36:32,451 --> 00:36:33,321
Yes, yes.you got something like that?
804
00:36:33,365 --> 00:36:34,844
Well, I don't.
805
00:36:34,888 --> 00:36:37,673
Everything so far points
-to murder, then suicide.
-Hmm.
806
00:36:37,717 --> 00:36:39,066
Sorry.
807
00:36:41,329 --> 00:36:43,288
What's that,
Kase-- a break?
808
00:36:43,331 --> 00:36:44,854
Cork and potassium.
809
00:36:44,898 --> 00:36:46,204
And what is that?
810
00:36:46,247 --> 00:36:47,988
I was finally able to process
811
00:36:48,031 --> 00:36:49,903
the syringes
from the hit man van,
812
00:36:49,946 --> 00:36:51,296
but the results only show
813
00:36:51,339 --> 00:36:53,994
compressed cork
and liquid potassium.
814
00:36:54,037 --> 00:36:55,213
Not exactly helpful.
815
00:36:55,256 --> 00:36:56,953
Cork is used in everything
816
00:36:56,997 --> 00:36:58,999
from bulletin boards
to wine bottles.
817
00:36:59,042 --> 00:37:01,001
And liquid potassium
is harmless.
818
00:37:01,044 --> 00:37:02,350
Well, it was a nice try.
819
00:37:02,394 --> 00:37:05,353
Unless you have
a kidney condition.
820
00:37:05,397 --> 00:37:06,572
What's that?
821
00:37:06,615 --> 00:37:09,270
Potassium is harmless
822
00:37:09,314 --> 00:37:10,837
unless you have
a kidney condition,
823
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,014
and SECDEF McClane
takes kidney meds.
824
00:37:14,057 --> 00:37:17,235
Then these levels of potassium
would send his system into shock
825
00:37:17,278 --> 00:37:19,062
and he'd be dead within minutes.
826
00:37:19,106 --> 00:37:21,108
Did the hit man
plan to inject him?
827
00:37:21,151 --> 00:37:23,589
But that doesn't
explain the cork.
828
00:37:23,632 --> 00:37:26,200
Unless the hit man
injected something else.
829
00:37:32,598 --> 00:37:35,905
Uh, if I could have
everyone's attention, please.
830
00:37:37,255 --> 00:37:38,865
Thank you.
831
00:37:38,908 --> 00:37:40,997
In a time of great distancing--
832
00:37:41,041 --> 00:37:43,783
both physically
and politically--
833
00:37:43,826 --> 00:37:47,090
it's important
that we come together now
834
00:37:47,134 --> 00:37:48,091
more than ever,
835
00:37:48,135 --> 00:37:49,919
both as friends
836
00:37:49,963 --> 00:37:51,399
and allies.
837
00:37:58,624 --> 00:38:00,713
-Did you stop the toast?
-Hang on,
slow down.
838
00:38:00,756 --> 00:38:01,888
We checked every bottle
of champagne.
839
00:38:01,931 --> 00:38:02,932
There were no signs
of tampering.
840
00:38:02,976 --> 00:38:04,456
Yeah, we told you
there wouldn't be.
841
00:38:04,499 --> 00:38:05,979
A tiny needle prick.
842
00:38:06,022 --> 00:38:07,763
This is crazy.
843
00:38:07,807 --> 00:38:09,330
You're just the COVID officers.
844
00:38:09,374 --> 00:38:10,375
We're federal agents.
845
00:38:10,418 --> 00:38:13,291
So please join me
in raising a glass
846
00:38:13,334 --> 00:38:14,770
to our renewed partnership
847
00:38:14,814 --> 00:38:16,294
and to peace.
848
00:38:17,425 --> 00:38:18,905
NCIS!
Do not move!
849
00:38:18,948 --> 00:38:20,515
Everybody put your
glasses down.
850
00:38:20,559 --> 00:38:22,952
Mister Secretary,
do not drink that!
851
00:38:30,395 --> 00:38:32,397
Please, Minister, wait.
852
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,269
I assure you this is
all a misunderstanding.
853
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:42,668
Thank you.
854
00:38:42,711 --> 00:38:43,973
I sure hope you have a
good explanation for this,
855
00:38:44,017 --> 00:38:45,018
Agent McGee.
856
00:38:45,061 --> 00:38:47,412
So do I, sir.
857
00:38:47,455 --> 00:38:49,979
Now, if we're right, the strip
should turn bright red.
858
00:38:50,023 --> 00:38:52,286
-Right about what?
Potassium.
859
00:38:52,330 --> 00:38:55,985
Deadly to someone
with a chronic kidney condition.
860
00:39:04,342 --> 00:39:06,126
I'll be damned.
861
00:39:07,301 --> 00:39:10,086
How the hell's a piano player
know my medical history?
862
00:39:10,130 --> 00:39:11,131
He didn't.
863
00:39:11,174 --> 00:39:12,959
Someone else was behind this.
864
00:39:13,002 --> 00:39:16,441
Someone who had access
to security records.
865
00:39:18,268 --> 00:39:20,227
Is this some sort of joke,
Agent Bishop?
866
00:39:20,270 --> 00:39:22,011
You have some explaining to do.
867
00:39:32,805 --> 00:39:35,895
Nasser Al-Kamal hired
a hit man to kill SECDEF,
868
00:39:35,938 --> 00:39:37,984
but not for what
happened in the past.
869
00:39:38,027 --> 00:39:39,986
For what was about to happen.
870
00:39:40,029 --> 00:39:42,989
Mm-hmm. A U.S. alliance
with his country.
871
00:39:43,032 --> 00:39:44,120
As it turns out,
872
00:39:44,164 --> 00:39:45,687
Mister Al-Kamal
was part of a Yemeni
873
00:39:45,731 --> 00:39:47,515
nationalist group online.
874
00:39:47,559 --> 00:39:50,300
They have Internet crazies, too.
875
00:39:50,344 --> 00:39:52,738
But when the hit man
threatened to expose Kamal,
876
00:39:52,781 --> 00:39:54,914
Kamal killed him.
877
00:39:54,957 --> 00:39:58,004
Then set up the piano player
to take the fall.
878
00:39:58,047 --> 00:39:59,962
Hardly seems worth the trouble.
879
00:40:00,006 --> 00:40:02,487
I mean, why not just
try to kill me himself?
880
00:40:02,530 --> 00:40:04,184
Plausible deniability, sir.
881
00:40:05,228 --> 00:40:08,884
Well, it's a good thing NCIS
had their top team on the case.
882
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:11,452
So...
883
00:40:11,496 --> 00:40:12,671
how'd you crack it?
884
00:40:12,714 --> 00:40:14,629
When we found
the piano player dead,
885
00:40:14,673 --> 00:40:16,414
his apartment was a mess.
886
00:40:17,980 --> 00:40:20,069
All except for the towels.
887
00:40:20,113 --> 00:40:22,202
We learned that
Mr. Al-Kamal is very OCD
888
00:40:22,245 --> 00:40:23,812
with wrinkles.
889
00:40:23,856 --> 00:40:27,163
And you ran the towels
for touch DNA.
890
00:40:27,207 --> 00:40:28,904
So you confirmed all this
891
00:40:28,948 --> 00:40:31,080
before you sent the other team
to crash the party?
892
00:40:31,124 --> 00:40:33,082
Not exactly, Director.
893
00:40:33,126 --> 00:40:35,476
It was more of a gut feeling.
894
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,130
Whose gut feeling?
895
00:40:42,527 --> 00:40:44,137
Ah, thanks, Todd.
896
00:40:45,660 --> 00:40:47,532
You think Todd knows?
897
00:40:47,575 --> 00:40:49,011
What, that we saved SECDEF
898
00:40:49,055 --> 00:40:50,926
or that we let Tyler and Sawyer
take the credit?
899
00:40:50,970 --> 00:40:52,493
All of it.
900
00:40:53,581 --> 00:40:55,104
But...
901
00:40:55,148 --> 00:40:57,106
we are a team, right?
902
00:40:59,457 --> 00:41:00,762
Thanks, Ronnie.
903
00:41:00,806 --> 00:41:02,851
No, thank you.
904
00:41:02,895 --> 00:41:04,723
And also...
905
00:41:04,766 --> 00:41:06,376
we're sorry.
906
00:41:06,420 --> 00:41:08,553
Vance mentioned
this morning's news.
907
00:41:08,596 --> 00:41:10,119
We read the article.
908
00:41:10,163 --> 00:41:11,686
What article?
909
00:41:12,731 --> 00:41:15,037
Paper ran a story on Gibbs.
910
00:41:16,865 --> 00:41:18,345
What about him?
911
00:41:18,388 --> 00:41:20,652
Well, your team
is not mentioned,
912
00:41:20,695 --> 00:41:22,392
but everything else is.
913
00:41:22,436 --> 00:41:24,612
The attack,
the investigation,
914
00:41:24,656 --> 00:41:25,918
his confession.
915
00:41:27,310 --> 00:41:29,356
How bad is it, McGee?
916
00:41:29,399 --> 00:41:30,662
You know what,
it's really accurate.
917
00:41:30,705 --> 00:41:33,099
Everything Gibbs said
and-and did is...
918
00:41:33,142 --> 00:41:34,970
is in here almost word-for-word.
919
00:41:35,014 --> 00:41:36,972
There's no way a reporter
would know all of this.
920
00:41:37,016 --> 00:41:38,800
Unless...
921
00:41:38,844 --> 00:41:41,020
someone talked.
922
00:41:43,152 --> 00:41:44,676
Don't look at me.
923
00:41:51,291 --> 00:41:52,814
Director.
924
00:41:53,859 --> 00:41:55,338
Want a drink?
925
00:41:56,688 --> 00:41:58,733
I won't be here that long.
926
00:41:58,777 --> 00:42:00,822
You talked to the reporter.
927
00:42:02,650 --> 00:42:04,565
I only told the truth.
928
00:42:04,609 --> 00:42:05,653
Yes.
929
00:42:05,697 --> 00:42:08,351
That's not
why I'm here.
930
00:42:08,395 --> 00:42:11,093
I came here to tell you,
face-to-face...
931
00:42:13,313 --> 00:42:15,576
...whatever comes
of this story,
932
00:42:15,620 --> 00:42:18,318
whatever happens
next, Gibbs...
933
00:42:19,362 --> 00:42:21,016
...I can't save you.
934
00:42:23,366 --> 00:42:24,846
I know.
