- NCIS Asst. Director Leon Vance: Did you know Mike Franks was involved in this?
- Tony DiNozzo: [speaking simultaneously with Ziva] No.
- Ziva David: Yes.
- NCIS Asst. Director Leon Vance: Want to take a moment to get your stories straight?
- Ziva David: [speaking simultaneously with Tony] No.
- Tony DiNozzo: Yes.
- NCIS Director Jenny Shepard: This has to be outside the Agency and I need some I can trust. You're on the shortlist.
- Mike Franks: Didn't know you were a fan.
- NCIS Director Jenny Shepard: Gibbs's shortlist. He trusts you with his life. That's good enough for me.
- Mike Franks: [after entering Decker's home] Gibbs teach you that?
- NCIS Director Jenny Shepard: Gibbs doesn't teach. You watch and learn
- Mike Franks: You learned, I taught.
- NCIS Asst. Director Leon Vance: Decker's insurance policy, what's in it?
- Mike Franks: You can read it for yourself.
- [Gibbs stares at Franks]
- Mike Franks: I'll leave it for you... in my will.
- [leaves]
- NCIS Assistant Director Leon Vance: Photo pops up, Gibbs runs off the reservation, and nobody knows a damn thing about what's going on.
- Tony DiNozzo: Sounds like a Wednesday.
- Tony DiNozzo: [calling McGee] What took you so long? Were you sitting at my desk?
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: [obviously lying] No!
- Tony DiNozzo: You're lying.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: Tony, what do you want?
- Ziva David: Your advice.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: You lost the Director, didn't you?
- Tony DiNozzo: No!
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: Now you're lying.
- Tony DiNozzo: You *were* sitting at my desk.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: [answering a call from Gibbs] Jethro.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Ducky.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: [after awkward silence] I know I typically dominate the coversation, but since you called me...
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Jenny's dead. Yesterday.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Oh, dear. I... I can't believe that it happened so...
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: She was murdered. Firefight.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Tony and Ziva?
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Not involved.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: What can I do?
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Five bodies... on their way.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: I assume one of them is...
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Yeah. Tell McGee, tell Abby. I'm gonna need them.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Jethro...
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Yeah. I know, Duck.
- [Ducky solemnly turns to Abby and McGee]
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: Who?
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Jenny.
- [Abby gaps in horror]
- NCIS Asst. Director Leon Vance: Whose side are you on?
- Tony DiNozzo, Ziva David: Gibbs.
- NCIS Asst. Director Leon Vance: Well you finally got your story straight.
- Sasha Gordon: William never said anything specific, just that if anything were to happen to him, that I was to deliver a message.
- NCIS Director Jenny Shepard: To whom?
- Mike Franks: [Sasha gets a book hands a card to Franks] "Jenny Shepard Director NCIS"
- Sasha Gordon: You know her?
- Mike Franks: Unfortunately.
- Tony DiNozzo: Paperwork had a deep voice.
- Ziva David: She is with a man. Does not mean she is sleeping with him.
- Tony DiNozzo: You're right. I'm sure they're tag-teaming the paperwork.
- Ziva David: She's hiding something from us.
- Tony DiNozzo: Yes. It's called a sex life. Maybe if you had one, you'd be a little more understanding.
- Ziva David: [laughs] Ooh, I could tell you stories.
- Tony DiNozzo: Sorry, Ziva, I'm going to have to cut you loose.
- [realizes she's already walking away]
- Tony DiNozzo: Hey, wait up!
- Ziva David: Call the Los Angeles Police Department, tell them you are conducting a local investigation, and ask them to track down the GPS coordinates of the director's rental.
- Tony DiNozzo: That's all?
- Ziva David: It will make me very happy to know where she is. It'll be like "Chinatown." I will even let you do your Jack.
- Tony DiNozzo: [as Jack Nicholson] Well, how do you like them apples?
- NCIS Asst. Director Leon Vance: Bad few days.
- [to Ziva]
- NCIS Asst. Director Leon Vance: Officer David, the liaison position with NCIS is being terminated. You're going home. McGee, I'm moving you across to the Cybercrimes unit, you'll be working with Officer Hollsworth starting tomorrow. DiNozzo.
- Tony DiNozzo: Sir.
- NCIS Asst. Director Leon Vance: You've been reassigned. Agent afloat USS Ronald Reagan, pack your bags, you fly out tomorrow. Agent Gibbs
- [picks up some folder and hands them to Gibbs]
- NCIS Asst. Director Leon Vance: meet your new team.
- Mike Franks: So when we find who did this...
- NCIS Director Jenny Shepard: It'll be just the way you like it, no paper work!
- NCIS Asst. Director Leon Vance: [referring to a fire] Is that what I think it is?
- Mike Franks: It was sanctioned.
- NCIS Asst. Director Leon Vance: 9 years ago.
- Mike Franks: ...Your point?
- Mike Franks: So Jenny couldn't do it back then, girl was artist with the steel.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Not then.
- Mike Franks: What changed?
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Me.
- Mike Franks: [referring to Natasha] They're going to have your ass when they find her body.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: They're not going to find her body.
- NCIS Asst. Director Leon Vance: She put up a hell of a fight.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Not good enough
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Am I interrupting something?
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: Just Abby's nervous breakdown.
- Tony DiNozzo: I said, why don't you make yourself useful.
- Ziva David: What do you want me to do, hold your... nozzle?
- Mike Franks: She called me two days ago. Said she need some help from someone outside the agency.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Another one of her ops.
- Mike Franks: One of yours. Europe.
- Mike Franks: What'd I tell you about leaving them loose end?
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Not to. We didn't.
- Mike Franks: Well you screwed the pooch somewhere. Decker's cover was blown, made it look like a heart attack.
- Ziva David: [DiNozzo is leering at a young woman at the funeral] Is that why we're here, so you can Google the girl?
- Tony DiNozzo: "Ogle."
- Mike Franks: If you're looking for an apology.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I know better.
- Mike Franks: I'm sorry Gunny.
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: When are you back?
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: On my way.
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: What about Tony and -
- [McGee's search completes]
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: McGee!
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: Boss, we got a problem here.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [scoffs] Just *one*?
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: I saw you two went swimming.
- [DiNozzo angrily closes his desk drawer, and walks to McGee's desk]
- Tony DiNozzo: What are you saying McGee?
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: ...Nah
- [DiNozzo removes his jacket]
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: I'm saying I saw a picture of Ziva at the pool when...
- Tony DiNozzo: Say it!
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: Say what?
- Tony DiNozzo: I screwed up! You can say it, Probie.
- [Ziva walks to McGee's desk]
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: It was not your fault.
- Ziva David: Thank you.
- NCIS Asst. Director Leon Vance: Think of a reason why I shouldn't personally throw the book at you for hindering a Federal Inquiry.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Because you want this to go away.
- NCIS Asst. Director Leon Vance: Where the hell are you?
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Not far.
- NCIS Asst. Director Leon Vance: Franks with you?
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Should he be?
- NCIS Asst. Director Leon Vance: If he's not then he's on his way to Mexico with Decker's insurance policy... Don't smile!
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Didn't Jethro tell you? Or perhaps his cranium trauma is acting... He's behind me, isn't he?
- NCIS Asst. Director Leon Vance: And don't worry. I'm sure your people will eventually put together the missing pieces... Or have you already.
- [pause]
- NCIS Asst. Director Leon Vance: You think you can protect them forever, Gibbs? You're mistaken. There's already been one casualty. There will be more.
