More NCIS Quotes ►

Vance and Dr. Ryan go back to their days at the war college.
There's a bit of rivalry between Rachel and Samantha (Dr. Ryan). The rivalry is to the point where Rachel tells Gibbs not to trust Samantha after Samantha left them in the conference room. They also both loved Dr. Banks, the victim.
Samantha asks Gibbs out on a breakfast date at 4am.

A new rule is given to us by the rule master himself; Gibbs, rule #42: "Don't accept an apology from someone who just sucker punched you.
Rachel and Samantha also go back to their college days like Samantha and Vance do. "She went clinical, I went military. Two completely different fields." - Dr. Samantha Ryan.

Rachel looks at Gibbs in the same way that her sister did, "the cat looking at the canary" as Gibbs put it before he found out that Samantha bugged his basement.

A dead Marine's day job at a government think tank leads Gibbs and the team into the life of a 12-year-old prodigy who may be the killer's next target.

The team must put their Thanksgiving plans on hold when the horrific death of a Marine leads them a to a government think tank that employs child prodigies.

Read the full episode recap ►

Ziva having to sit on Tony's shoulders. She tells him to "bend over" which gets a nice smirk from Gibbs.
Abby making cranberry sauce and nasty lime jello with yams, marshmallows and pecans in her lab.
Ziva (to Tony): "Are you letting some blonde bombshell baste your bird?"
Tony (to Gibbs): “Sateler Institute? Oh boss, shouldn’t Mcsmarty-pants go to the nerd theme park. It’s going to be a nerd’s paradise with the World of Warcraft wallpaper and the pocket protectors and the elfan shaped beds because I probably shouldn’t…”
Ducky taking the turkey out of the autopsy drawer.
When Angela pulls a Gibbs and shuts down the elevator so they can talk.
Ducky telling Gibbs about his first pet, a guinea pig named "HunkerMunker."
Abby calling Gibbs "Gibblet."
Although Ducky still refers to his mother being in a nursing home, Nina Foch, who played Victoria Mallard, passed away December 4, 2008

More NCIS Quotes ►

Ziva lies to Angela, telling her that she has never killed anyone.
Gibbs never comes to Thanksgiving dinner and according to Ducky, he's also never at home on the day for the last 9 years. But Gibbs showed up for dinner this year.
Gibbs is good with children.

Ziva is now listed as Probationary Special Agent
Ray Mabus, the 75th US Secretary of the Navy, will make a cameo appearance on NCIS, Tuesday, Nov. 24 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) .
Prior to his current position, Secretary Mabus served in numerous top posts, such as the Governor of Mississippi and U.S. Ambassador in Saudi Arabia. Secretary Mabus was appointed Secretary of the Navy by President Barack Obama and sworn in on June 18, 2009.
This episode marks Cote de Pablo's 100th episode!! We first met her in 3x01 and 3x02 Kill Ari Parts 1 and 2 (episodes 47 and 48). She became a permanent member of the cast in 3x04 Silver War (episode 50).
Carlease Burke (D'Arcy McKinna) was also in 6x19 "Hide and Seek". She played the legal representation for Noah Taffet when he was being interrogated by Gibbs. Gibbs brought her a orange soda.
This is the second episode nobody was called "Probie."
Ziva tells Gibbs that she had been calling the Kelp home but got no answer. When Angela walked in her door, the phone was off the hook. This would have given Ziva a busy signal, not a lack of someone answering.
The song played in this episode is called "That Time of Year" by Sick Puppies and can be found on the NCIS Official Soundtrack, Vol. 2

Just A Little Advice

bagpuss2 — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 05:57:50 CST

By Bagpuss2 (a.k.a Duderank) (21)

Palmer was fully aware he was on hallowed ground. Gibbs' basement!

It was his first ever opportunity to take in all of what the room contained, or what once contained.
Gibbs' boat for example. He saw where it had once stood and wondered at just how he'd managed to get it out of the large, spacious room.

In fact, Jimmy took in as much as he could while he was still sober enough, before the drinks Gibbs had been plying him with would take full effect and blur his faculties.

The purpose of Gibbs bestowing upon him this honour was, naturally, his forthcoming wedding to Breena Slater. The "Silver Fox" taking this one off opportunity to supply the "Autopsy Gremlin" with congratulations and more than a little near fatherly advice.

"You still having trouble with Breena's Dad?" Gibbs asked, while refilling Jimmy's glass.

"No, not since I stood up to him that time." Jimmy replied.

"That did kinda surprise me. Wasn't expecting it, but pleased you did." Gibbs handed Jimmy his glass. " Wouldn't want anyone thinking you're a doormat."

Jimmy shook his head. "Oh don't worry, I can be very firm when the need arises."

"That's good." answered Gibbs. "If he ever does or says something you feel isn't right, you pull him up on it. If he does what you feel IS right, then back him up."

"I hear you, Agent Gibbs."

Gibbs raised his glass, "Kids?"

Jimmy raised his own glass thinking Gibbs was about to propose a toast, then quickly gulped down some of his beer when he realised Gibbs was only asking a question.

"Kids? Oh yeah, sure. Some day. Always dreamed of having a family. Being a Father."

Gibbs smiled it was the answer he'd been hoping to hear come from the young man's lips.
"I've known Generals, Senators, Directors and Presidents, but "Dad" is still the best title for any guy."

Jimmy smiled. That had come from the heart and was pretty profound.

"Do what you have to do for family." said Gibbs, speaking as if to himself.

"Your most sacred rule." Jimmy replied.

"Dangerous to follow too sometimes."

Jimmy frowned. "How do you mean?"

"It's why I had to kill Michelle, remember?"

Jimmy stared down at his beer and wished he hadn't mentioned her. Especially with his current level of intoxication bringing on the melancholic stage.

"Michelle. So smart, yet so dumb." He shook his head, sadly. "She didn't want to be bad. She just felt she had to be."

Gibbs nodded. "That about sums it up I guess."

Jimmy looked Gibbs in the eye and said, "If that hadn't happened. If I hadn't dumped her. I might be marrying her, and you'd hate that right? The way you felt about her. Even before she became a Mole."

Gibbs answer was, perhaps given the circumstances, surprising. "Not neccesarily. If I learned one thing about Michelle Lee, after I killed her, it's that she would have been a good mother to that little girl, and it still hurts thinking about that. About what happened."

Jimmy did not doubt Gibbs' sincerity. "I can imagine".

Palmer desperately felt the need to lighten the mood. "Can we get more drunk now please?"

Gibbs smiled and chuckled. "Not TOO drunk."

Gibbs raised his glass and this time it WAS to propose a toast.

"I think she's the one for you, Jim."

"I think so too."

"And don't take any crap off her old man." added Gibbs.

Jimmy lifted his glass, smiling so widely that, had his denture work been illuminated from behind, it would have lit up the whole room.

"To Breena." he said.

"To Mr and Mrs Palmer." Gibbs replied.

NCIS Episode Recap
Patriot Down
Airdate: May 18, 2010
Author: callerbear

A sunny afternoon on a beach. A man wearing a Mexican poncho and sombrero is galloping along the beach. He crosses under a bridge and reins his horse to a halt. There's a body lying face-down in the sand. The man dismounts, kneels next to the body, and pulls down the bandanna covering his face. It's Gibbs! Another man approaches him from behind, and cocks a revolver aimed at the back of the first man's head. The unseen man speaks. "Welcome to Mexico, Agent Gibbs." Gibbs begins to reach for his own sidearm. "Don't even think about it," the second man warns. Gibbs slowly draws his sidearm a little ways out of the holster.

Roll the opening credits.

4 DAYS EARLIER:

Four days earlier, in the squadroom, Tony is watching ZNN's coverage of the 2010 graduation ceremonies at the Naval Academy. "Ah, graduation. For many, an alcohol-induced purple haze." McGee is working at his computer. "Easy there, Hendrix, it'll pass." Tony
recalls his days on the Baltimore PD, where graduation night meant there would be a hundred sick seniors in the drunk tank. Ziva points out that she too will be a graduate soon -- her US citizenship naturalization interview and written exam are scheduled for later in the week. McGee quizzes her: he asks about the 5th Amendment ("Due Process"), and Ziva answers correctly. Gibbs walks in. "Not bad, David, not bad at all. DiNozzo, eighth letter of the alphabet." "G", Tony guesses. "No, H for Homicide. Got one on the beach, Annapolis, could be Academy related. "Let's go."

Vance pulls Gibbs aside. With all of the press coverage of the Academy's graduation, Vance wants this one kept quiet until they have specific information. Gibbs smiles in understanding. "Keep what on the down-low, Director?"

At the beach, the team studies the crime scene. A body has been completely burned in a large bonfire on the beach. The victim was wearing high heels. A few of her fingers were far enough outside of the fire that they weren't burned. McGee suggests that the smoke smells like burning mesquite, green enough that it's still smoldering. DiNozzo reminisces about campfires and S'Mores,

Gibbs and Ziva interview the ensign that started the bonfire. He had built the fire the evening before so it was ready to go. After graduation, their group came out to the beach, lit the fire and began celebrating. He can only assume that someone else came during the day, hid the body within the stacked firewood, and rebuilt the structure of the fire. The ensign appears somewhat ill -- he has been up all night. Gibbs takes pity on him. "Go get some sleep. We'll be in touch."

Ducky arrives on the scene and begins quoting a poem by A.A. Milne ("Whenever a good nor'wester blows, Christopher is certain of sand-between-the-toes.") Even though one hand has been burned, Ducky can tell that the victim put up a fight: her fingernails are broken. Ducky says that killers sometimes think a good fire is sufficient to cremate a body, but they're wrong -- a bonfire isn't as hot as a crematorium. Ducky injects a saline solution into the remaining finger and is able to rehydrate it enough for McGee to get a fingerprint.

McGee sees the result of the fingerprint search and is momentarily speechless. Gibbs prompts him. "Words, McGee." "Boss, this is Special Agent Lara Macy." Phoof!

In the squadroom, the team has covered their badges with the black stripe to honor the fallen agent. McGee reviews Macy's personnel records. Macy left the NCIS Los Angeles office under special circumstances and was transferred to the Forest Protection Service in Marseilles. Gibbs reports that the entire agency is on alert. The team mentally prepares for their investigation, knowing it will be a difficult one. Gibbs chooses their starting point. "She was a Marine, an agent and a daughter. Alright, daughter first. Macy's mom lives on a farm in Cumberland, Maryland. Call her, tell her we're coming."

Just as Gibbs is about to leave, Ziva reports that a member of Macy's team in Marseilles has requested a video conference in MTAC. Gibbs heads upstairs. Vance and Gibbs talk with Special Agent Emil Mineoux, who tells them that Macy left four days earlier; she had said that she needed some personal time. Mineoux is shocked to hear of Macy's death. Vance orders Mineoux to send every document, every file that he can find, and Gibbs tells him to check her apartment, phone records and mail. Mineaux tells them that Macy was staying at the Fremont Inn in Norfolk.

In Autopsy, Ducky is chatting with Agent Macy's remains. "Your silence speaks volumes. It's amazing how someone so demure could say so much with so little." Gibbs enters. Ducky shows him a chipped bone in Macy's neck. It looks like someone cut Macy's throat with a serrated knife, so violently that they nearly severed her head from her body. Gibbs believes it may have been a professional hit. "If someone wanted her dead, why wait until she got home?" Ducky has his own question. "Why set her remains ablaze in NCIS jurisdiction?"

Up to Forensics. "Hey, Abs, what have you got?" "Questions, for you." "Case first." Abby has laid out the contents of Macy's hotel room -- they're all work-related. Macy's last call was an incoming call from a pre-paid cell phone; Abby's trying to trace it. But more interesting are five calls Macy had recently made to a Petty Officer Kaylen Burrows. Burrows is assigned to the USS Majestic, which had been docked at Marseilles until a few weeks earlier. The Majestic docked at Norfolk at the same time Agent Macy arrived. It sounds like Macy followed Burrows back to the states. Definitely a business trip, not pleasure.

Gibbs tries to leave, but Abby steps in front of him. She's clearly disturbed about something. "We need to talk," she says, "About stuff, and things." "Not now, Abs." She unwillingly accepts his judgement. "OK," she says as she turns and watches him leave. "OK." She's still unsettled.

In the hallway, Gibbs bumps into M. Allison Hart. Hart flashes her new (temporary) NCIS badge. "Limited access," Gibbs notes, "Your client, Colonel Bell, will be disappointed." Hart tells him that this isn't related to Bell -- the Mexican body wants the body of Pedro Hernandez returned. Hart tries to get a date with Gibbs for dinner, or even just a beer, but Gibbs isn't interested. "If I didn't know better, Mr. Gibbs, I'd think you were avoiding me." He looks at her for a moment, then walks away.

Aboard the USS Majestic, Tony and Ziva enter the mess hall looking for Petty Officer Burrows, and Tony is reminded of his days as an Agent Afloat. They find Burrows just starting on her meal. She tries to leave, but Tony pulls her back to her seat. Tony asks her about Special Agent Macy, but Burrows claims not to know Macy. Two sailors approach and suggest that the Petty Officer needs to leave for her duty muster. Tony sends them away, then takes a call from Abby.

Abby has broken the encryption on Macy's laptop and can read her files. Macy had started a case file, but never turned it in because it was incomplete. The victim refuses to cooperate at all with the investigation, and would not testify. The victim is listed as Petty Officer 2nd Class Kaylen Burrows. The crime was rape. Phoof!

In Interrogation, Ziva quietly asks Kaylen to tell them what happens in France. "Nothing you say will leave this room." Burrows doesn't believe that Ziva can ensure that it will remain quiet. "No disrespect, Ma'am, but I've been in this Navy too long. I know better." Tony tries. He notes that she had a 24-hour liberty in Marseilles. "I met someone, we partied, I'm as responsible as anyone," Burrows tells him. Ziva notes that Burrows' two shipmates were on liberty as well. "Why did they not want you to talk to us?" Burrows still refuses. "What I did was my business."

Ziva sits up. "Look, you were attacked." Burrows looks at her with eyes slightly teared. "I'm not pressing any charges," she tries to say brightly. "I told Agent Macy the same thing. I just want to go back to the Majestic now." Tony tells her that she can't go back, because she's a witness in a murder investigation. When Ziva tells her that the victim was Lara Macy, Burrows is clearly surprised.

In Director Vance's office, Vance is speaking to someone with his video phone. Allison Hart is standing behind him. Vance tells the caller that he's approved the release of Pedro Hernandez' body, and that Hart will make the transportation arrangments. She speaks up. "The evidence will be on its way in a few days, Mr. Rivera." The camera pans, and we see Alejandro Rivera's image on the video phone.

Rivera thanks Vance for NCIS' assistance, especially for the visit by Abby. Vance adds her to the video conference. Rivera tells her that he's looking forward to reading her report, and Vance agrees. Abby is nervous. "I really need a little more time with it, just to make sure I did a thorough job with it." She stammers a little, then holds up a large stack of paper to show the size of the report. "I need to double-check and triple-check everything." Vance assures Rivera that he'll have the report as soon as possible. Abby suggests that the Macy investigation will take priority, and Vance backs her up. Rivera doesn't press the point very hard: "The case has been dormant for twenty years. A few more days cannot hurt." Abby is dismissed from the call, and she sighs in relief.

At Lara Macy's mother's home, McGee and Gibbs are having tea on the porch with Lara's mother. They express their condolances. Gibbs calls her an outstanding agent and a good person, and clearly regrets her loss. Gibbs says that they'll need to go through Lara's belongings. Mrs. Macy is confused. "But I already showed you people everything." She tells them of a nice man that was there earlier. He went through Lara's room, and then Mrs. Macy showed him the room where Lara kept her papers and files.

They go to the room with the files. Boxes have been emptied, files are spilled on the floor. "Oh dear," Mrs. Macy says, "He left quite a mess." McGee looks at the notebooks spread across the floor. "Wow, Agent Macy's personal notes. There are years of them here, dating back to when she was an MP at Pendleton." Gibbs takes a breath. "Box it, McGee, all of it. Check the dates, see if anything is missing. Try to figure out what this guy is looking for."

Back in the squadroom, Gibbs has McGee arrange for a sketch artist to visit Mrs. Macy. Tony has just taken a bite of his lunch when Gibbs arrives, impatient for answers. "C'mon, chew!" Gibbs tells him. "What have you got from overseas?" Tony begins to report with his mouth still full. "Agent spoke to the owner of the bar Burrows was in on the night of the rape." "Swallow," Gibbs orders and Tony complies. Mouth clear, he can continue. The owner remembers an American civilian with Burrows on that night. "Young guy, big mouth, big drinker."

From the credit card records, Tony has identified him as Tyler Hammond. His dad, Randall, is a "big muckety-muck builder in D.C." McGee quickly locates information on Hammond's business: it's a large construction firm. After he graduated from Georgetown University, Tyler was sent to spend three months in Europe. He returned home a week earlier. Perhaps Macy went to see him. "Take Ziva. Bring him in."

Ziva and Tony pull up near the Hammond estate. Police cars are in the driveway together with an ambulance. Randall Hammond is chewing out of the police officers, demanding quick action. Tyler is sitting in the back of the ambulance being treated for injuries. Hammond tells our team that two guys in ski masks pulled up and beat his son. Tyler's face is bruised and bloody. He can only describe them as 'big'. After they beat him, they left in an SUV with Navy-base permits on the windows. Hammond winds himself up again, blustering and threatening to sue the Navy. Tony pulls Ziva to the side. "Why don't you call Gibbs, give him a heads up. Tell him our attacker has been attacked." Phoof!

Inside the (large) Hammond home, Gibbs arrives. Tyler says that he was walking to his car, and two 'Navy guys' grabbed him. The family lawyer speaks up. "You don't need to say anything more, Tyler." Tony mentions Petty Officer Burrows. "I know all about her, her little story," Hammond rebuts, "She's lying." Gibbs is curious. "Mr. Hammond, if your son is so clean, why did two Navy sailors drive all the way out here to kick his ass?" The lawyer speaks up. "Because Tyler Hammond witnessed them rape one of their own in Marseilles. He tried to stop it, but couldn't." The lawyer says that Burrows was afraid, intimidated by the sailors, near them 24 hours a day. "They know that Tyler can ID them, they're scared he'll talk, and they're desparate."

Through all of this, Tyler has been holding an ice pack to his jaw. "How about you, Tyler, got an opinion?" Tyler looks nervous, looks to his father for an answer. Hammond speaks up. "My son just wanted to help. And this is the thanks he gets." Tyler looks back at Gibbs, still uncertain.

In the squadroom, the Gibblets discuss the possibility that Tyler was correct, and that Burrows was raped by a sailor. Ziva understands why Kaylen would stay quiet. "Perception. Burrows is in the military. If a woman cries 'rape', no man on that ship would ever totally trust her again." McGee would like to hear more. "Well, you're a woman," he says to Ziva, "What would you do?"

Ziva looks down. "I'm different," she says, "After torturing them until they cried like babies, I would castrate them, give them what they deserve." "Hmmph," Tony observes, "Spoken like a true almost American."

Gibbs arrives. The team reviews the background on the two sailors. Both were on liberty at the time of the rape, and one of them did sign out a motor pool vehicle today. It's possible that Burrows is being strong-armed, and that Macy was killed because she learned about it. McGee finds a record that a hospital rape kit was administered the morning after Burrows was attacked. When Burrows backed off the case, the results were never posted. Gibbs wants Abby to try to find the rape kit, and orders DiNozzo and Ziva to talk to the sailors. "Already did it, boss." "Do it again!" "Doing it again, boss!"

Aboard the Majestic, DiNozzo orders the bunkroom cleared except for the two sailors they want. DiNozzo starts to go through one of the sailor's locker, while asking them about Tyler Hammond. Ziva says they're looking for evidence of Burrows' rape. The sailors say that NCIS has it all wrong. The sailors finally admit what happened. They were in the bar in Marseilles, and saw Burrows leave with Tyler. "He raped Petty Officer Burrows. She's one of us, and we take care of our own." "So, you're confessing to the fist fight, but not the rape and not the murder. And why should we believe you?" "Because it's the truth."

In the NCIS conference room, Gibbs is alone with Kaylen Burrows. "Relax. Exhale." Gibbs tries to get her to smile, then reassures her. "Not forcing you to do anything here." Burrows understands. Gibbs tells her that he understands the pressure and scrutiny that she's under. "But don't let the guy that did this get away with it. It's not just about you, it's about truth. It's about a dead NCIS agent." He pauses for a moment to let that sink it. "It's about someone getting away with murder, until now."

He points to a picture. "Special Agent Lara Macy." Burrows eyes begin to tear, and Gibbs is visibly affected. "She died trying to arrest whoever did this to you. That was her job." He looks Kaylen in the eyes. "Now this is my job." Kaylen's chin trembles. "So who did it?" he asks. "Those two sailors on the Majestic?"

The unjust accusation is too much, and Kaylen breaks into tears. "It was this college kid," she sniffs, then hisses his name. "Tyler Hammond." She swallows, then continues. "But he wasn't alone."

In Forensics, Abby tells Gibbs that the rape kit was contaminated. When Burrows refused to allow its use, it was filed in some storage facility. Legally, they had to run the tests anyway, but by the time they processed it, something happened. She walks into the other part of her lab. Gibbs can't believe it. "Abs, you can't pull anything from this?" "I'm sorry, Gibbs, but scientifically, you're no closer to knowing who did this than when you started."

"Give me the results anyway," he says. Abby is surprised. "I just told you they're useless!" "I know that," Gibbs agrees. Abby realizes that he wants to use it to get a confession. As Gibbs starts to leave, Abby calls him back. "Gibbs, I know that Special Agent Macy's murder is super-important." Gibbs cranes his neck -- he doesn't want to talk about this, but Abby continues. "And I know that you guys have a long history going back to when you were a Marine, and not a lot of people know that. But Gibbs, we really need to talk about Mexico."

When he hears the word Mexico, several memories flash through Gibbs mind. He sees Kelly, hears her voice calling 'Daddy', sees the newspaper article about the murder of Shannon and Kelly. Sees the vehicle they died in. "What did you just say?" he asks Abby. She repeats her comment, and it brings even more memories to the fore. Mike Franks' home on the beach, his voice echoing in Gibbs' ears. Without a word, Gibbs turns and leaves.

McGee catches Gibbs in the hallway. He's found that they're missing Lara's notebooks covering the time from January 1991 through February 1992. Those are dates when Macy was an MP at Pendleton, at the same time Gibbs was a Marine stationed at Pendleton. Again, Gibbs turns away without a word and steps into the elevator. "Boss, what's going on?" "Drawing of the guy from Macy's house. Need an ID, McGee. Now." Gibbs orders as the elevator doors close.

In the elevator, Gibbs makes an urgent cell phone call to the Mexican cantina near Mike Franks' home. He talks with the bartender, Camila. She recognizes Gibbs and is pleased to hear from him. Gibbs is in a hurry, pacing in the elevator.

"I need you to get a message to Mike for me."
"I have not seen him, but when he comes in, I will make sure he..."
"You need to get the message to him now, right now."
"Si, Senor, I will try."
"The message is 'Rule Number 44.' Repeat it back to me!"
"'Rule 44.' He will know what this means?"
"Just give him the message. Make sure he has Leyla and Amir with him! Just do that, OK?"
"Senor Gibbs, are you alright?"

Gibbs hangs up without an answer.

He bursts into Interrogation, where Randall and Tyler Hammond are sitting at the table. He throws the results of the rape kit onto the table, and tells Hammond that Tyler's DNA is all over it. "There has to be some kind of mistake," Hammond tells him. Gibbs gets in Hammond's face. "There's no mistake." "I know what's going on here, Gibbs. This is the Navy covering for it's own." Gibbs makes his accusation. "It's positive for you, too!" Hammond glares at him while Gibbs continues. "You flew to France to meet Tyler for a few days, spend some quality time with your son. He didn't rape that girl alone, you both raped her, together!" Gibbs returns the glare, doubled.

Hammond won't stand for this. "Who the hell do you think you are? We're done here." Hammond begins to leave, but Gibbs jumps in front of him. "Sit your asses down!" The men stand nose to nose. "I'd like to speak to my son." "I'd like to speak to Lara Macy, but she's dead. Did you kill her?" Hammond laughs in his face. "Who the hell is Lara freaking Macy?"

Gibbs snaps. He grabs Hammond by his suit lapels, drives him backwards against the observation room glass. Behind Hammond's head, the glass smashes into a spiderweb of cracks. Gibbs stays in Hammond's face, demanding, shouting. "Did you kill her?"

Hammond is frightened, breathless and speechless.

"DID YOU?"

Hammond tries to catch his breath as a shocked Tyler watches. "That Navy girl," Hammond finally gets out, "She was drunk, but she wanted it! I swear, we didn't kill anybody!"

The camera cuts to the inside of the observation room. Director Vance is watching, expressionless.

Hammond continues breathlessly as Gibbs studies his eyes. "We didn't kill that agent. I'm sorry." Phoof!

Gibbs hurries into Autopsy. "Duck, the knife used to kill Lara Macy. Who made the knife?" Normally, Ducky wouldn't have any way to answer that question. But in this case, he can make an informed guess. The pattern is indicative of a Ka-Bar 1277, a knife issued by the US Army. Ducky says that the attack was vicious and brutal. "She was executed," Gibbs realizes, and then (in Ducky's words) left to be discovered, to taunt whoever would be hurt the most by her untimely death. "Not unlike leaving a single bullet in the Mexican sun," Ducky tells him, forcing Gibbs to remember his sniper shot of Pedro Hernandez. Gibbs leaves, walks toward the elevator.

Ducky follows him to the elevator door. He has finally realized that it was Pedro Hernandez that had murdered Shannon and Kelly, and tells Gibbs that he knows what Gibbs has been carrying for nearly twenty years. Ducky says that even though Gibbs may not have wanted this to come to the surface, someone else does and they are forcing Gibbs' hand. Ducky has been holding the elevator door open, and Gibbs pushes his hand away. The elevator doors start to close. "Who is it?" Ducky asks. "Tell me, Jethro!" Gibbs phone begins to ring, and he answers.

It's Camila in Mexico. She was able to get the message to Franks, but her cantina is filled with American soldiers with guns. "Your amigo is in bad trouble." Gibbs doesn't know what to say. "Senor Gibbs?" she asks, but he simply hangs up.

Gibbs escorts Allison Hart into the conference room. As soon as the door closed, he begins demanding answers.

"Where is he?"
"I, ah, don't know what you're talking about."
"The hell you don't. Colonel Bell. Where is he?"
"I haven't spoken to him..."
"Sure you have! What are you doing to me, Allison?"
"I'm here to help with the task force..."
"This isn't about that! This is about Colonel Merton Bell, using you to get to me."

Hart is taken aback. "I haven't told him anything about you."

"You must have! Because people around me are dying." Gibbs is desperate. "People I care about. Bell is after -me-!"

Allison matches Gibbs' tone. "Because you threw him in a Mexican jail!"

"HE'S A CRIMINAL!"

"Is he?", she asks, "Is that for you to decide? I am his attorney, Mr. Gibbs, he's a patriot. It's my job to defend him!"

In frustration, Gibbs slams his hand against a wall, then turns back to Hart. "He's a murderer!" He steps up closer, glaring at her this time. "How's it feel to be in the murder business, Ms. Hart?"

She turns away. "I don't like what you're suggesting."

"Be honest with me!! Just one time, be honest with me!" The desperation in Gibbs face is evident. Allison is taken aback, sees his pain. Softer, Gibbs asks again. "Where is he?" He takes a deep breath.

She swallows, then makes her decision. "Last I heard, he was headed down to Mexico. To Baja."

Gibbs leaves, and Allison calls after him. "What are you going to do? You're making a dangerous mistake!" The door slams behind him.

In the squadroom, McGee runs down what he's discovered about Bell. His corporate jet had registered a flight plan two days earlier, leaving Virgina for a final destination of Mexico. "He's after Mike Franks," Gibbs says to himself. McGee continues. The passenger manifest included Bell, his flight crew and some of Bell's current employees. One of them is particularly of interest: Former Army Ranger Jason Paul Dean. Dean was highly decorated, but killed several Afghan civilians and was discharged. Bell immediately hired him. The sketch of the man that stole Macy's notebooks remembles Dean. Gibbs needs McGee to continue tracing the cell phone that was used to call Lara Macy just before her death, and wants DiNozzo to find everything he can about Bell after his arrival in Mexico.

Abby has tracked the cell phone. It was purchased in a convenience store in Norfolk. She's enhancing the security camera footage of the person that purchased the phone. She tells Gibbs that it will take a while, if he just wants to relax. "Relax??? Abs." He heads towards the door.

Abby presses a button on her remote control. The lab doors all close and lock.

Gibbs turns back to her, signals that he doesn't understand.

"This is a lockdown," Abby explains.
"A what?"
"We're going to talk, Gibbs."

"Like hell, not now." He reaches for the remote, but she snatches it away. "Yes!" she says, "Now!"

He looks at her, and she begins.

"Since when did I become the kid in class that the teacher won't call on? The evidence in my report says that you killed Pedro Hernandez." Gibbs watches her, and she continues. "And you're not even willing to talk to me about it!"

"I didn't think I needed to."

Now Abby doesn't understand. "But I owe you everything." Her eyes begin to mist. "But you're Gibbs!" She regains her composure, looks at him again. "No-one needs to know the truth about the Hernandez investigation. I am willing to do anything, for you. I just need you to tell me what to do."

He shakes his head once in sorrow. "No you don't, Abs. I've only ever needed you to do one thing."

She realizes what he means. "My job." He nods gently, and she continues. "But it's different, this time, I mean it has to be, right?"

"No," he says, "it doesn't."

Just then, her machine beeps. It has completed the enhancement of the image of the cell phone purchaser. Gibbs recognizes the face. "Former Army Ranger Jason Dean. He's one of Bell's men." Abby knows what this implies. "I bet his knife matches Agent Macy's wounds." Gibbs sighs in concern. "You know too much, Abby."

She understands. They're silent for a moment, then Abby then turns to face him. "Gibbs." She's still stuck with her dilemma. "What do I do?"

"You send in the report to the task force," Gibbs tells her, "All of it."

It's the answer she didn't want to hear, but knew was right. "I know. You shouldn't have to tell me, right?"

He smiles, kisses her forehead, hands her the remote control. She unlocks the doors, and he leaves.

In the director's office, DiNozzo and Hart are standing in front of his desk. Vance wants to know what is happening. "Where's Gibbs? Security said he ran out this place like it was on fire." Hart doesn't understand why she is there for these questions. Vance answers her question. "Because based on what I'm hearing, Special Agent Macy's killer worked for Colonel Merton Bell, your client."

He shows her a picture of Jason Paul Dean, who was Bell's right-hand man. Hart hands the photo back immediately. "I don't represent Mr. Dean." "But you represent Bell's firm, First Defense PMC, and Dean is employed by First Defense." Tony adds his comment. "Which means you're in the hot seat, M. Allison Hart." He pauses, then tells Vance that he'll find Gibbs. Tony leaves.

Allison begins to speak, but Vance cuts her off. He assures her that he has the right to question her on this topic. It's possibly a matter of national security, because Bell has crossed federal borders and is working with narco-terrorists. Vance has a great deal of "wiggle room" in the matter. Vance tells her that he has a lot of pieces with just one thing in common: Bell and First Defense. "So let's cut to the chase. What's going on?"

She licks her lips nervously, and Vance smiles, knowing he has the upper hand. "Do you care about Gibbs?" he asks.

"What kind of a question is that?"

"Stop being a lawyer, and start being a friend. Do you care about what happens to Special Agent Gibbs?"

She finally realizes her answer is "Yes."

"Then tell me what your patriot Bell is up to."

She tells Vance that ever since Bell got out of prison, he's been accumulating information about Gibbs.

"To what end?" Vance asks. "Blackmail? Revenge? Leverage?" She looks back at him.

Reprise the opening scene: A horse gallops along an ocean beach. Looking down towards the end of the beach, Gibbs sees Mike Franks' home, burned to the ground, still smoking. He rides closer.

There's nothing left of the house but ruined furnishings and structural timbers. Gibbs spies a child's doll in the ashes. He rides past the house to the rocks at the end of the beach. Lying on the sand, face down, is a dead man. Waves wash up against the body. Gibbs turns, sees another fallen body on the rocks. He looks down, sees blood on the sand and a track where someone has been dragged away. His eyes widen, and he begins to follow the trail.

Gibbs crosses under the bridge, finds the body in the sand. He dismounts, kneels next to the body, pulls down his bandanna and sighs "Mike."

Gibbs senses something wrong and reaches for his sidearm. Behind him, Jason Paul Dean cocks his gun. "Don't even think about it." Gibbs holds his hands away from his body. Still facing away from Dean, he makes a guess. "You're Dean?" he asks. Dean nods. "Welcome to Mexico, Agent Gibbs." Dean disarms Gibbs by removing his revolver from the holster.

"First Macy, then you kill Franks?" Gibbs asks. "That ain't Franks," Dean tells him, still covering him with the gun. "Who is it?" "Colonel Merton Bell."

Surprised, Gibbs turns halfway towards Dean. "Who do you really work for?" Dean hits Gibbs on the head with the butt of his gun, and everything goes black.
