00:00:03,255 --> 00:00:05,045
<i>When the bough breaks,</i>
3
00:00:05,105 --> 00:00:08,551
<i>the cradle will fall and down...</i>
4
00:00:08,632 --> 00:00:12,422
<i>will come baby Cradle and all.</i>
5
00:00:14,549 --> 00:00:15,975
That's kind of a dark song.
6
00:00:24,561 --> 00:00:26,140
- Are you happy?
- You asked me
7
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,410
- to get you some ice cream.
- Did I tell you to blend it?
8
00:00:28,470 --> 00:00:30,658
I didn't remember the blender being
that loud before.
9
00:00:30,718 --> 00:00:33,971
And this morning, you didn't remember
that the dryer beeps on wrinkle guard.
10
00:00:34,031 --> 00:00:35,885
It was a beep... a single beep!
11
00:00:36,157 --> 00:00:38,797
How can something with such little ears
have such bionic hearing?
12
00:00:43,952 --> 00:00:44,981
Okay.
13
00:00:46,188 --> 00:00:48,690
<i>Help me... please...</i>
14
00:00:50,425 --> 00:00:51,547
<i>help me.</i>

19
00:01:36,599 --> 00:01:38,308
Must you do that now, Tony?
20
00:01:39,621 --> 00:01:41,561
It's spring.
I'm spring-cleaning, so...
21
00:01:41,993 --> 00:01:44,105
- yes.
- Spring-cleaning?
22
00:01:44,186 --> 00:01:46,024
You don't have spring-cleaning
in Israel?
23
00:01:46,443 --> 00:01:47,740
We do not have spring.
24
00:01:48,127 --> 00:01:49,469
Israel is a desert.
25
00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:53,948
I've been looking for this.
26
00:02:01,444 --> 00:02:03,041
I remember those days,
27
00:02:03,592 --> 00:02:05,728
when I was carefree and full of joy.
28
00:02:06,355 --> 00:02:09,130
- I envy you, Tony.
- Why are you dressed for a funeral?
29
00:02:09,356 --> 00:02:10,992
- Everything okay?
- No.
30
00:02:12,133 --> 00:02:13,384
Frank is sick.
31
00:02:13,465 --> 00:02:14,552
Who is Frank?
32
00:02:14,633 --> 00:02:16,137
My mandibular second molar.
33
00:02:16,666 --> 00:02:19,390
It's been killing me for a week.
I'm finally going to the dentist.
34
00:02:19,980 --> 00:02:21,141
You name your teeth?
35
00:02:21,357 --> 00:02:22,227
You don't?
36
00:02:23,850 --> 00:02:26,143
- No.
- See, that's the problem.
37
00:02:26,668 --> 00:02:28,148
They're just teeth to you.
38
00:02:28,356 --> 00:02:29,818
But evolutionarily speaking,
39
00:02:30,157 --> 00:02:33,212
your survival is directly proportionate
to their health.
40
00:02:33,666 --> 00:02:36,157
A cavity was a death sentence
on the Savannah.
41
00:02:36,358 --> 00:02:38,189
Abby, everyone gets cavities.
42
00:02:38,249 --> 00:02:39,117
No.
43
00:02:39,367 --> 00:02:42,413
No Sciuto has had
a cavity since 1922.
44
00:02:42,597 --> 00:02:44,117
- Good genes.
- Genes?
45
00:02:44,431 --> 00:02:46,960
I brush, and I floss,
and I tongue-scrape more
46
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,379
than most people
would consider sane.
47
00:02:49,585 --> 00:02:51,489
I have earned my perfect record.
48
00:02:51,710 --> 00:02:53,637
No cavities, no surrender.
49
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,332
I don't deserve this.
50
00:02:56,607 --> 00:02:58,670
- I'll be back before lunch.
- Good luck.
51
00:02:59,221 --> 00:03:00,823
Don't get too comfortable.
52
00:03:01,380 --> 00:03:02,225
Dead body.
53
00:03:02,483 --> 00:03:04,561
Come on...
you all know the drill.
54
00:03:10,508 --> 00:03:11,604
He looks cold.
55
00:03:12,512 --> 00:03:14,279
That's the least of his problems,
McGee.
56
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,614
Hey, boss.
Parents didn't have much to add.
57
00:03:17,091 --> 00:03:19,576
Baby's room was empty,
except for the baby.
58
00:03:19,848 --> 00:03:21,928
They kept hearing the voice
through the baby monitor.
59
00:03:22,249 --> 00:03:23,788
Cops did a search of the area.
60
00:03:24,518 --> 00:03:25,935
All they found was him.
61
00:03:25,995 --> 00:03:29,207
They identified the body
as Marine Private First Class...
62
00:03:29,583 --> 00:03:30,712
Marco Riggs.
63
00:03:31,222 --> 00:03:35,133
And I am identifying some pretty
gnarly toes. This guy needed a pedicure.
64
00:03:35,391 --> 00:03:38,094
Bothers you so much,
DiNozzo, go find his shoes.
65
00:03:38,502 --> 00:03:40,266
Boss, I'm going
to go find his shoes.
66
00:03:40,326 --> 00:03:42,945
This would explain
the voice the parents heard.
67
00:03:43,310 --> 00:03:45,702
Our dead guy had
a military-issue cell scanner.
68
00:03:45,989 --> 00:03:48,562
Not exactly standard-issue
for privates.
69
00:03:49,421 --> 00:03:51,357
That's probably why
he was misusing it.
70
00:03:53,421 --> 00:03:55,006
Take a look at the display, boss.
71
00:03:57,275 --> 00:03:58,123
911?
72
00:03:58,547 --> 00:04:02,427
Looks like Riggs was trying to use
the cell scanner as a cell phone.
73
00:04:02,487 --> 00:04:04,621
Ended up broadcasting
in a narrowband frequency.
74
00:04:05,297 --> 00:04:08,499
- Got picked up by the baby monitor.
- I don't know about the feet, though.
75
00:04:08,580 --> 00:04:11,236
That's because you don't know
your history, McGee.
76
00:04:11,296 --> 00:04:12,550
Historically,
77
00:04:12,883 --> 00:04:15,006
going about unshod was considered
78
00:04:15,086 --> 00:04:17,634
by some to be an act
of pious devotion,
79
00:04:17,919 --> 00:04:18,861
while others...
80
00:04:18,921 --> 00:04:22,852
Believed that direct contact with Mother
Earth provided spiritual benefits.
81
00:04:23,109 --> 00:04:27,060
However, in Roman and medieval times,
going barefoot symbolized poverty,
82
00:04:27,272 --> 00:04:30,920
since leather and boots were
too expensive for the average...
83
00:04:31,673 --> 00:04:32,459
Really?
84
00:04:33,588 --> 00:04:35,526
I wrote a paper on...
85
00:04:36,424 --> 00:04:37,362
Never mind.
86
00:04:38,653 --> 00:04:41,320
Cyanosis indicates lack of oxygen.
87
00:04:41,380 --> 00:04:43,491
No signs of strangulation
or ligature marks.
88
00:04:43,574 --> 00:04:45,328
Did you write a paper on those, too?
89
00:04:47,516 --> 00:04:48,706
Time of death...
90
00:04:50,208 --> 00:04:51,376
two hours ago.
91
00:04:51,813 --> 00:04:52,876
That a problem?
92
00:04:53,285 --> 00:04:56,005
Mr. Palmer, help me with the body.
93
00:04:56,584 --> 00:05:00,111
Yes, well, he's remarkably stiff
94
00:05:00,171 --> 00:05:01,719
for the recently deceased.
95
00:05:02,057 --> 00:05:04,681
It's too soon for rigor,
even at this temperature.
96
00:05:05,045 --> 00:05:06,195
There's no...
97
00:05:06,761 --> 00:05:09,769
entry wounds, no sign of trauma,
98
00:05:09,865 --> 00:05:11,771
but something sucked
the life out of him.
99
00:05:15,255 --> 00:05:17,071
Sucked the life out is right.
100
00:05:19,052 --> 00:05:21,011
Abby is going to love this.
101
00:05:22,572 --> 00:05:23,675
Thank you!
102
00:05:24,078 --> 00:05:25,882
What a way to start the day.
103
00:05:30,893 --> 00:05:32,044
Abby Sciuto?
104
00:05:33,780 --> 00:05:35,318
- Maybe?
- FBI.
105
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,308
You need to come with us,
Ms. Sciuto.
106
00:05:37,368 --> 00:05:38,068
Now.
107
00:05:38,128 --> 00:05:40,133
- Where?
- I'm not at liberty to say.
108
00:05:40,357 --> 00:05:42,342
Well, then,
I'm not at liberty to go.
109
00:05:42,425 --> 00:05:43,836
You misunderstand.
110
00:05:44,013 --> 00:05:45,430
It's not a request.
111
00:05:55,561 --> 00:05:58,650
The deceased was
Private First Class Marco Riggs.
112
00:05:58,963 --> 00:06:02,237
Recently assigned to CLB-3,
Combat Logistical Battalion,
113
00:06:02,319 --> 00:06:04,739
- supporting troops in Afghanistan.
- Until he was accused
114
00:06:04,799 --> 00:06:07,032
of stealing equipment,
then selling it on the black market.
115
00:06:07,092 --> 00:06:09,290
That include military-issue
cell scanners?
116
00:06:09,350 --> 00:06:12,905
It did, but Riggs disappeared
before he could be formerly charged.
117
00:06:13,076 --> 00:06:14,625
He's been listed UA since last week.
118
00:06:14,705 --> 00:06:16,120
Apartment was a dead end.
119
00:06:16,286 --> 00:06:17,902
We have a BOLO out on his vehicle.
120
00:06:17,962 --> 00:06:19,672
Also waiting
on the blood work from Abby.
121
00:06:19,779 --> 00:06:21,866
We're going to have
to wait a little bit longer.
122
00:06:22,234 --> 00:06:23,843
Don't tell me
she needs a root canal.
123
00:06:24,204 --> 00:06:25,815
No, Fornell just called.
124
00:06:26,528 --> 00:06:27,728
Abby's been...
125
00:06:28,652 --> 00:06:29,652
requested.
126
00:06:30,403 --> 00:06:31,225
Requested?
127
00:06:31,589 --> 00:06:32,289
By?
128
00:06:32,779 --> 00:06:35,756
He didn't know. It just said
the FBI has orders to transport her.
129
00:06:37,133 --> 00:06:40,106
Okay, I can access
the FBI operations database.
130
00:06:40,291 --> 00:06:41,736
I have a contact at the DOD.
131
00:06:42,084 --> 00:06:43,863
BOLO out on the FBI transport?
132
00:06:44,312 --> 00:06:45,342
I don't know.
133
00:06:45,402 --> 00:06:46,594
I thought...
134
00:06:46,654 --> 00:06:48,862
maybe I'd just try
to call her first.
135
00:06:55,404 --> 00:06:57,281
Hey, Gibbs.
Don't worry.
136
00:06:57,341 --> 00:06:59,087
No cavities.
I was going to call.
137
00:06:59,349 --> 00:07:00,963
Fornell already did.
You okay?
138
00:07:01,044 --> 00:07:02,715
- Yep.
- Where are you?
139
00:07:02,947 --> 00:07:04,050
In the back of a van.
140
00:07:04,220 --> 00:07:05,070
Abby...
141
00:07:05,156 --> 00:07:06,106
<i>I'm fine.</i>
142
00:07:06,362 --> 00:07:07,303
It's exciting.
143
00:07:07,646 --> 00:07:10,014
Group of FBI agents swoops in and
144
00:07:10,096 --> 00:07:13,325
steals away an unsuspecting citizen
to places unknown.
145
00:07:14,342 --> 00:07:16,562
<i>Yeah, it's the unknown part</i>
I don't care for.
146
00:07:17,260 --> 00:07:19,190
I got Palmer's text
about the vampire bite.
147
00:07:19,365 --> 00:07:21,402
I can't believe I'm not going
to be there for that.
148
00:07:21,462 --> 00:07:23,653
- Who are you getting to fill in?
- Working on it.
149
00:07:24,071 --> 00:07:26,284
<i>Well, if you need
anything</i> before then,
150
00:07:26,344 --> 00:07:29,158
I keep a step-by-step
"Abby's Lab for Dummies"
151
00:07:29,239 --> 00:07:33,037
<i>in my desk. It covers the basics.
A monkey could follow the instructions.</i>
152
00:07:35,450 --> 00:07:36,219
Good.
153
00:07:37,338 --> 00:07:39,242
'Cause we got one of those.
154
00:07:41,222 --> 00:07:44,348
Did you realize that the end was nigh,
I wonder,
155
00:07:44,408 --> 00:07:46,495
or was it a blissful event...
156
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,595
as your ego and judgment
melted away?
157
00:07:49,838 --> 00:07:52,009
- I mean, a stroke from...
- Doctor?
158
00:07:53,223 --> 00:07:54,267
Yes, Mr. Palmer.
159
00:07:54,864 --> 00:07:56,519
May I stop mopping now?
160
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,521
- It depends.
- On?
161
00:07:59,094 --> 00:08:01,732
Has it enhanced
your understanding of protocol?
162
00:08:02,814 --> 00:08:03,985
Consider me enhanced.
163
00:08:04,220 --> 00:08:05,695
Good... then you may join me.
164
00:08:05,869 --> 00:08:07,607
That invitation extend to me,
too, Duck?
165
00:08:07,910 --> 00:08:10,786
Since when have you waited for
an invitation? Don't answer that.
166
00:08:10,846 --> 00:08:13,413
I know, you like to keep people
on their toes.
167
00:08:14,603 --> 00:08:15,496
Yes, Doctor.
168
00:08:15,666 --> 00:08:16,664
Protocol.
169
00:08:17,035 --> 00:08:19,030
What?
Okay, yes.
170
00:08:19,196 --> 00:08:21,920
I will go not be in this room now.
171
00:08:22,708 --> 00:08:23,696
What do you got?
172
00:08:23,851 --> 00:08:26,465
Well, sadly for Abby,
not the walking dead.
173
00:08:26,707 --> 00:08:29,397
A histological examination
of these wounds
174
00:08:29,457 --> 00:08:32,305
revealed that they're burn marks,
not punctures.
175
00:08:32,474 --> 00:08:35,641
More consistent with a stun gun attack
than a vampire bite.
176
00:08:35,969 --> 00:08:38,679
- A stun gun?
- Not normally a lethal weapon.
177
00:08:38,739 --> 00:08:39,979
However, I believe
178
00:08:40,219 --> 00:08:42,356
the electrical shock aggravated
179
00:08:42,437 --> 00:08:45,123
an underlying arterial weakness
in his brain,
180
00:08:45,523 --> 00:08:47,778
and that led
to a hemorrhagic stroke.
181
00:08:48,614 --> 00:08:52,325
After he regained consciousness,
he would've been severely confused.
182
00:08:52,741 --> 00:08:56,425
He could've wandered around for hours
before taking refuge on that...
183
00:08:56,712 --> 00:08:59,040
- loading dock.
- Then he took his shoes off?
184
00:08:59,792 --> 00:09:02,404
Yeah, well,
it's called peripheral neuropathy.
185
00:09:02,464 --> 00:09:04,665
It's common in this kind of stroke.
186
00:09:04,725 --> 00:09:07,601
His feet would have felt
as if they were burning up,
187
00:09:07,661 --> 00:09:10,133
but I doubt that he knew
what he was doing.
188
00:09:10,314 --> 00:09:12,337
Towards the end,
he would have been delirious,
189
00:09:12,397 --> 00:09:14,496
until eventually,
his heart would have given out.
190
00:09:14,556 --> 00:09:16,515
Stun gun's a defensive weapon, Duck.
191
00:09:16,832 --> 00:09:17,662
Yeah.
192
00:09:18,288 --> 00:09:21,520
Which suggests
his death was unintentional.
193
00:09:22,035 --> 00:09:24,273
I found something
under his fingernails.
194
00:09:24,501 --> 00:09:27,490
It almost certainly came
from the assailant during the assault.
195
00:09:27,550 --> 00:09:29,820
I need to send it up
to Abby's replacement.
196
00:09:30,047 --> 00:09:32,007
Well, that's going to be
a long run, Ducky.
197
00:09:32,217 --> 00:09:34,117
Just spoke to the DOD, boss.
198
00:09:34,192 --> 00:09:36,419
Abby's replacement
doesn't arrive until Monday.
199
00:09:36,479 --> 00:09:37,807
- Monday?
- Monday.
200
00:09:37,867 --> 00:09:39,501
I made a lot of noise,
but, you know,
201
00:09:39,561 --> 00:09:42,427
they gave me a lecture about budget
cuts. We did catch a break, though.
202
00:09:42,487 --> 00:09:44,585
Got a BOLO back
from our dead guy's car.
203
00:09:45,238 --> 00:09:46,629
Want me to take Ziva, or...?
204
00:09:46,864 --> 00:09:48,184
No, I'll take Ziva.
205
00:09:48,496 --> 00:09:49,293
You...
206
00:09:50,329 --> 00:09:51,259
you take McGee.
207
00:09:52,507 --> 00:09:53,694
Take McGee where?
208
00:09:58,102 --> 00:10:00,072
Now, why did I get picked
for the cover art?
209
00:10:01,334 --> 00:10:02,862
You want to sign, or should I?
210
00:10:03,422 --> 00:10:04,274
I will.
211
00:10:04,695 --> 00:10:07,628
I am the one with a biomedical
engineering degree from Johns Hopkins.
212
00:10:07,688 --> 00:10:09,400
Among several other degrees.
213
00:10:09,460 --> 00:10:11,636
Maybe that's why you got picked
for the cover art.
214
00:10:17,143 --> 00:10:17,962
Come in.
215
00:10:20,342 --> 00:10:21,083
Ma'am.
216
00:10:26,947 --> 00:10:27,647
Hi.
217
00:10:36,757 --> 00:10:37,471
Yes.
218
00:10:38,134 --> 00:10:38,931
From NCIS?
219
00:10:39,132 --> 00:10:39,832
Yep.
220
00:10:46,135 --> 00:10:48,109
I asked you here...
221
00:10:48,995 --> 00:10:50,910
"Asked me." That's a good one.
222
00:10:52,238 --> 00:10:53,946
... at the request
of Dr. Phillip Heller.
223
00:10:54,441 --> 00:10:55,681
He's in charge of a...
224
00:10:55,913 --> 00:10:57,672
rather special project.
225
00:10:58,083 --> 00:10:59,452
Is it a military project?
226
00:10:59,820 --> 00:11:02,788
Funded by the military,
but Tarburst is an independent agency.
227
00:11:04,011 --> 00:11:05,958
I'm not familiar
with Dr. Heller's work.
228
00:11:06,246 --> 00:11:08,228
No, but he is with yours.
229
00:11:08,288 --> 00:11:12,241
He was quite impressed with your paper
on Zinc Finger Nucleases in DNA Binding.
230
00:11:14,012 --> 00:11:16,260
What kind of project are we talking
about exactly?
231
00:11:18,072 --> 00:11:20,306
Not the kind of project
we can talk about.
232
00:11:20,619 --> 00:11:23,235
It's why I was reluctant to allow
your participation initially.
233
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,312
This is a highly classified matter.
234
00:11:26,825 --> 00:11:27,825
So, what changed?
235
00:11:29,136 --> 00:11:31,653
Dr. Heller is no longer
with the program, and we...
236
00:11:33,007 --> 00:11:33,986
your country...
237
00:11:35,015 --> 00:11:36,265
need your help.
238
00:11:38,928 --> 00:11:40,072
What do you need?
239
00:11:43,698 --> 00:11:44,829
Welcome to The Cave.
240
00:11:45,769 --> 00:11:46,707
The Cave?
241
00:11:48,524 --> 00:11:50,583
You should rename
this place Nirvana.
242
00:11:51,639 --> 00:11:53,756
Dr. Heller was given
a sizable budget.
243
00:11:55,188 --> 00:11:56,175
I can see that.
244
00:11:56,824 --> 00:11:58,177
And almost complete autonomy.
245
00:11:58,451 --> 00:12:00,304
All information
was compartmentalized,
246
00:12:00,385 --> 00:12:03,117
strictly need-to-know.
Only three other people, besides myself,
247
00:12:03,177 --> 00:12:05,059
even knew of the existence
of this program.
248
00:12:05,902 --> 00:12:07,894
- Knew?
- Two of the original team members
249
00:12:07,977 --> 00:12:11,024
died in a roadside bomb attack
in Afghanistan.
250
00:12:11,202 --> 00:12:14,209
Which is why Dr. Heller's departure
from the program has become...
251
00:12:14,618 --> 00:12:15,659
quite a problem.
252
00:12:16,312 --> 00:12:19,145
This was sold to the Senate
Select Committee on a warning
253
00:12:19,205 --> 00:12:21,659
of a grave and gathering threat.
254
00:12:23,015 --> 00:12:25,309
What exactly was
Dr. Heller working on?
255
00:12:26,576 --> 00:12:27,693
That's the problem.
256
00:12:28,546 --> 00:12:29,653
We don't know.
257
00:12:43,196 --> 00:12:46,142
Patients aren't allowed on this floor.
How did you get in here?
258
00:12:47,038 --> 00:12:48,894
It's a hospital, isn't it?
How do you think?
259
00:12:49,517 --> 00:12:51,313
No, the hospital's upstairs.
This is...
260
00:12:51,394 --> 00:12:53,127
I know what this is, Sunshine.
261
00:12:53,592 --> 00:12:56,105
I've escaped from P.O.W. camps
with better security.
262
00:13:00,035 --> 00:13:01,606
Just exercising the lungs.
263
00:13:03,170 --> 00:13:04,118
Retired Marine.
264
00:13:04,705 --> 00:13:07,399
Sergeant Major Robert King, N.C.
265
00:13:08,561 --> 00:13:09,457
N.C.?
266
00:13:10,244 --> 00:13:12,668
Not contagious.
In case you were worried.
267
00:13:13,581 --> 00:13:14,587
I was.
268
00:13:16,544 --> 00:13:17,705
Where's Heller?
269
00:13:17,977 --> 00:13:19,175
We got a game to finish.
270
00:13:21,718 --> 00:13:23,257
Dr. Heller, he's...
271
00:13:24,270 --> 00:13:25,825
he's no longer with the project.
272
00:13:27,648 --> 00:13:29,373
- He isn't, huh?
- No.
273
00:13:31,543 --> 00:13:34,054
Well, doesn't that seem
a little strange?
274
00:13:34,234 --> 00:13:36,317
I mean, you know, considering...
275
00:13:37,146 --> 00:13:38,146
Considering what?
276
00:13:39,205 --> 00:13:42,615
God gave you a body, I'll give him that.
Skimped on the brain, though.
277
00:13:45,933 --> 00:13:48,287
Don't know how well
you know the doctor,
278
00:13:48,502 --> 00:13:49,772
but if you knew Heller,
279
00:13:49,832 --> 00:13:52,177
you'd know he wouldn't run off
and leave all this.
280
00:13:55,211 --> 00:13:56,295
She found me.
281
00:13:58,332 --> 00:13:59,032
Who?
282
00:13:59,206 --> 00:14:00,557
Nurse Dunstan.
283
00:14:01,188 --> 00:14:03,385
Makes Al Qaeda look
like Jiminy Cricket.
284
00:14:08,071 --> 00:14:09,206
I'm sorry.
285
00:14:09,499 --> 00:14:12,061
He knows he's not supposed
to come down here.
286
00:14:14,614 --> 00:14:17,815
None of the patients are supposed
to come down here.
287
00:14:18,108 --> 00:14:19,422
I won't tell.
288
00:14:19,832 --> 00:14:21,654
- Thank you.
- Let's go.
289
00:14:21,988 --> 00:14:24,877
Next time you get out of bed,
I'm having you catheterized.
290
00:14:25,863 --> 00:14:26,825
You wish.
291
00:14:29,617 --> 00:14:32,649
Nurse Dunstan...
your liaison with the hospital.
292
00:14:32,709 --> 00:14:35,075
If you need anything, extension 405.
293
00:14:35,165 --> 00:14:35,990
Thank you.
294
00:14:36,738 --> 00:14:38,712
And the lab rabbits
should be here by 12:00.
295
00:14:39,561 --> 00:14:42,533
Hopefully this batch lasts longer
than the last.
296
00:14:43,006 --> 00:14:44,112
Quick march.
297
00:14:50,097 --> 00:14:52,719
Are you gonna help me, or are you
gonna keep screwing around back there?
298
00:14:52,779 --> 00:14:55,810
Every single drawer in this lab
is unlocked except this one.
299
00:14:56,125 --> 00:14:57,719
You're not wondering what's inside?
300
00:14:58,394 --> 00:15:00,901
I'm wondering where Palmer is
with the rest of that DNA.
301
00:15:01,739 --> 00:15:02,756
Right here.
302
00:15:03,322 --> 00:15:05,696
Here you go. Thought
I might be able to help you guys.
303
00:15:05,756 --> 00:15:07,791
I do have lab experience.
304
00:15:07,851 --> 00:15:11,296
And I have a biomedical engineering
degree from Johns Hopkins.
305
00:15:11,356 --> 00:15:12,830
He sure does love saying that.
306
00:15:13,005 --> 00:15:14,790
Hey, will you put
the screwdriver down,
307
00:15:14,871 --> 00:15:17,786
come in here, and hand me
the ethidium bromide, please?
308
00:15:18,052 --> 00:15:18,836
I got it.
309
00:15:21,210 --> 00:15:23,090
I don't think that's right...
310
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,930
I don't think
you're supposed to do that.
311
00:15:27,129 --> 00:15:27,982
All right.
312
00:15:28,042 --> 00:15:31,185
Next step is to... mix the gel
313
00:15:31,823 --> 00:15:34,092
- with the ethidium bromide.
- I don't think you're supposed
314
00:15:34,152 --> 00:15:36,570
to do that. I think you're supposed
to microwave the gel first...
315
00:15:36,630 --> 00:15:39,398
All right, Mr. Johns Hopkins,
Mr. Biomedical Degree.
316
00:15:39,857 --> 00:15:41,258
You go ahead.
317
00:15:45,290 --> 00:15:46,790
- That's not good.
- Nope.
318
00:15:47,416 --> 00:15:48,423
Knucklehead.
319
00:15:49,113 --> 00:15:51,368
Lucky for you Abby's not here,
Hopkins.
320
00:15:52,552 --> 00:15:56,290
<i>Why is McGee lucky that I'm not there
and who is Hopkins?</i>
321
00:15:57,998 --> 00:15:58,985
Where are you?
322
00:15:59,045 --> 00:16:01,564
<i>I'm at a public hospital
just outside the city.</i>
323
00:16:01,624 --> 00:16:04,110
<i>That's all I can say. They took
my cell phone away when I got here,</i>
324
00:16:04,170 --> 00:16:06,162
<i>but I was able to open
a video port into my lab...</i>
325
00:16:07,284 --> 00:16:08,009
<i>or...</i>
326
00:16:08,374 --> 00:16:09,637
<i>what's left of my lab.</i>
327
00:16:09,869 --> 00:16:10,978
He'll clean it up.
328
00:16:11,047 --> 00:16:12,931
- We'll clean it up.
- They'll clean it up.
329
00:16:13,153 --> 00:16:16,226
<i>You'll all clean it up. But I need you
to run a background for me first.</i>
330
00:16:16,548 --> 00:16:18,485
Background on who?
Is everything all right?
331
00:16:18,545 --> 00:16:20,250
<i>I e-mailed the info to McGee.</i>
332
00:16:20,362 --> 00:16:21,844
You didn't answer the question.
333
00:16:21,904 --> 00:16:23,984
<i>Everything is fine.
Okay, I got to go.</i>
334
00:16:24,422 --> 00:16:27,738
<i>I shouldn't leave this video port open.
And Tony, screwdrivers...</i>
335
00:16:27,798 --> 00:16:29,943
<i>they leave tool marks
on locked drawers.</i>
336
00:16:35,761 --> 00:16:37,101
It's our dead guy's car.
337
00:16:37,422 --> 00:16:39,290
And he appears
to have been living in it.
338
00:16:39,372 --> 00:16:40,959
What is it doing here?
We're almost
339
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,958
two miles away from the loading dock
where the victim's body was found.
340
00:16:44,157 --> 00:16:46,924
That is a long distance
to have wandered after the attack.
341
00:16:48,032 --> 00:16:49,903
Well, if there was an attack here.
342
00:16:51,065 --> 00:16:52,221
No sign of a struggle.
343
00:16:52,302 --> 00:16:54,407
There are houses not too far away.
344
00:16:55,106 --> 00:16:59,091
Maybe our victim parked here
for a planned rendezvous of some kind.
345
00:17:00,219 --> 00:17:00,919
Maybe.
346
00:17:06,259 --> 00:17:07,528
This is nice.
347
00:17:09,137 --> 00:17:11,894
Being able to work
without Tony's incessant babbling.
348
00:17:13,178 --> 00:17:14,750
It is almost as if he cannot...
349
00:17:14,810 --> 00:17:17,329
go on for more than 30 seconds
without hearing his own voice.
350
00:17:18,791 --> 00:17:21,525
You know, the truly amazing thing is
that he fails to realize
351
00:17:21,585 --> 00:17:23,711
just how irritating
he is to those around him.
352
00:17:26,223 --> 00:17:27,256
Yes, Gibbs?
353
00:17:27,848 --> 00:17:28,716
Babbling.
354
00:17:39,614 --> 00:17:40,728
- Gibbs?
- What?!
355
00:17:41,927 --> 00:17:43,283
Victim's trunk.
356
00:17:49,358 --> 00:17:51,973
I'm not so sure our victim
was the intended victim.
357
00:17:54,973 --> 00:17:55,873
Come in.
358
00:17:56,658 --> 00:17:57,658
Mr. Jones.
359
00:18:00,211 --> 00:18:01,311
Any progress?
360
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:05,115
I'm done.
361
00:18:06,001 --> 00:18:08,922
- That was fast.
- Well, it's pretty esoteric stuff.
362
00:18:09,225 --> 00:18:11,133
Basically, Dr. Heller was...
363
00:18:11,472 --> 00:18:15,387
attempting to hijack DNA's end-joining
pathways in order to...
364
00:18:15,535 --> 00:18:18,064
Target a specific strand
of a person's DNA?
365
00:18:19,267 --> 00:18:21,270
Why do I get the feeling
you already knew that?
366
00:18:21,592 --> 00:18:23,660
Maybe because I already knew that.
367
00:18:25,378 --> 00:18:26,535
Was he successful?
368
00:18:27,352 --> 00:18:29,693
He was close. What do you mean
you already knew that?
369
00:18:32,036 --> 00:18:34,351
Given the sensitive nature
of this project,
370
00:18:34,411 --> 00:18:37,476
I had to make sure you were the real
McCoy before I fully read you in.
371
00:18:37,536 --> 00:18:38,636
So you lied.
372
00:18:39,162 --> 00:18:41,663
And I didn't lose a minute's sleep.
Is that a problem?
373
00:18:41,744 --> 00:18:42,502
No.
374
00:18:43,225 --> 00:18:44,124
Not at all.
375
00:18:44,476 --> 00:18:46,459
Lie to me again.
It was awesome.
376
00:18:46,972 --> 00:18:49,423
- Nice knowing you.
- Wait. Miss Sciuto.
377
00:18:50,574 --> 00:18:51,548
You can't leave.
378
00:18:51,629 --> 00:18:53,050
Really? That's funny.
379
00:18:53,224 --> 00:18:55,093
'Cause it really seems...
380
00:18:55,175 --> 00:18:57,805
like I'm, you know, leaving.
381
00:19:04,791 --> 00:19:06,480
Okay, just out of curiosity,
382
00:19:07,448 --> 00:19:08,565
why can't I leave?
383
00:19:09,250 --> 00:19:10,692
Because if you don't help us...
384
00:19:13,711 --> 00:19:15,217
they're all going to die.
385
00:19:24,730 --> 00:19:25,806
Let's hear it.
386
00:19:31,877 --> 00:19:33,586
Did you find anything good
at Riggs' car?
387
00:19:33,646 --> 00:19:36,009
Actually, yes.
We found a...
388
00:19:36,585 --> 00:19:37,803
What is that smell?
389
00:19:38,765 --> 00:19:39,641
Still?
390
00:19:40,117 --> 00:19:42,723
You're kidding me.
I washed my hands a dozen times.
391
00:19:42,805 --> 00:19:44,434
- Wash 'em again.
- Sorry, boss.
392
00:19:44,494 --> 00:19:48,231
Had a little mishap in Abby's lab,
running the DNA on Riggs' attacker.
393
00:19:48,291 --> 00:19:49,484
More like Riggs' victim.
394
00:19:49,544 --> 00:19:52,776
The contents of Riggs' trunk suggest
he was planning on burying a body.
395
00:19:53,416 --> 00:19:55,821
- You think he was on some kind of hit?
- Until it went bad.
396
00:19:56,022 --> 00:19:59,011
He apparently did not count
on his target fighting back.
397
00:19:59,171 --> 00:20:00,827
Do we have any idea
who his victim was?
398
00:20:00,887 --> 00:20:04,684
I do. Palmer and I just finished running
the DNA from under Riggs' fingernails.
399
00:20:05,077 --> 00:20:06,643
You already tell Gibbs?
400
00:20:07,279 --> 00:20:08,406
Tell Gibbs what?
401
00:20:09,184 --> 00:20:10,465
You found the target.
402
00:20:10,877 --> 00:20:11,608
What?
403
00:20:12,327 --> 00:20:15,090
This is Dr. Heller. It's the guy
Abby wanted us to run background on.
404
00:20:18,919 --> 00:20:21,681
Abby was asked to take over for Heller
when he went missing.
405
00:20:22,578 --> 00:20:24,482
Well, I'm guessing
he disappeared because...
406
00:20:24,542 --> 00:20:26,441
Someone was trying to kill him.
407
00:20:27,421 --> 00:20:29,551
And Abby has just taken his place.
408
00:20:40,759 --> 00:20:44,161
<i>Agent Gibbs, I appreciate your concern
for my missing colleague,</i>
409
00:20:44,346 --> 00:20:46,997
<i>but that's exactly why Miss Sciuto
needs to stay here right now.</i>
410
00:20:47,615 --> 00:20:49,032
<i>You have to trust me on that.</i>
411
00:20:49,253 --> 00:20:50,792
I don't trust you.
412
00:20:51,234 --> 00:20:52,305
I don't know you.
413
00:20:52,365 --> 00:20:54,346
<i>I sympathize with your position...</i>
414
00:20:54,564 --> 00:20:57,180
It's your choice! You either tell me
what's going on or...
415
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,052
<i>- Or what? You'll threaten me?</i>
- Well, you know what?
416
00:21:00,133 --> 00:21:01,321
That depends.
417
00:21:01,485 --> 00:21:04,431
You consider
a public investigation a threat?
418
00:21:08,670 --> 00:21:10,687
We are on the same team.
419
00:21:14,539 --> 00:21:15,868
<i>About a year ago,</i>
420
00:21:16,654 --> 00:21:19,069
<i>my company became involved
in a larger medical study</i>
421
00:21:19,255 --> 00:21:21,655
<i>of servicemen returning
from Afghanistan. It was...</i>
422
00:21:21,968 --> 00:21:25,378
<i>rather routine until we discovered
small numbers were suffering</i>
423
00:21:25,438 --> 00:21:28,455
<i>from an undiagnosed illness that
was originally thought to be fatigue.</i>
424
00:21:29,249 --> 00:21:30,533
<i>We alerted the military.</i>
425
00:21:30,769 --> 00:21:33,470
<i>They didn't want to make the same
mistake they did with Gulf War Syndrome.</i>
426
00:21:33,530 --> 00:21:35,163
Good. Good for them.
427
00:21:35,223 --> 00:21:37,839
<i>We got a contract to research
the illness. We set up this lab.</i>
428
00:21:38,216 --> 00:21:40,759
<i>The hope was, if we could identify
the susceptible genotype,</i>
429
00:21:41,057 --> 00:21:42,729
<i>a cure could be developed.</i>
430
00:21:42,789 --> 00:21:46,501
Okay, well, obviously, somebody there
doesn't want that to happen.
431
00:21:47,499 --> 00:21:48,974
<i>We don't know where Dr. Heller is.</i>
432
00:21:49,098 --> 00:21:52,277
<i>All right, his disappearance may have
nothing to do with this research.</i>
433
00:21:52,337 --> 00:21:54,621
Okay, until we find out,
434
00:21:55,019 --> 00:21:56,608
I want Abby here.
435
00:21:56,935 --> 00:21:58,573
<i>I'm afraid
that's not going to happen.</i>
436
00:21:58,633 --> 00:22:00,737
Did I just not make myself clear?!
437
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,225
<i>You misunderstand me.</i>
438
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:06,847
<i>Hi, Gibbs.</i>
439
00:22:07,257 --> 00:22:08,203
Hi, Abs.
440
00:22:09,183 --> 00:22:10,954
- You all right?
<i>- Everything's fine,</i>
441
00:22:11,777 --> 00:22:14,666
<i> except you and I still have
to talk about the lab bunnies.</i>
442
00:22:14,749 --> 00:22:16,628
<i>Listen, Gibbs,
I know what you're going to say.</i>
443
00:22:16,709 --> 00:22:18,706
<i>You're worried
because someone is after the doctor,</i>
444
00:22:18,766 --> 00:22:21,235
<i>and if someone's after the doctor
and I took over his job,</i>
445
00:22:21,295 --> 00:22:23,634
<i>they might be after me.
But I don't care.</i>
446
00:22:23,932 --> 00:22:27,764
<i>These people are sick and I can
help them and I'm staying, period.</i>
447
00:22:28,955 --> 00:22:30,471
<i>Besides, this is a secure hospital.</i>
448
00:22:30,531 --> 00:22:32,559
<i>I'm just as safe here
as I would be at NCIS.</i>
449
00:22:32,778 --> 00:22:34,771
<i>Safer, actually,
'cause they have bigger dogs.</i>
450
00:22:37,427 --> 00:22:40,490
<i>I'd tell you not to argue with her,
but, uh, I think you already know that.</i>
451
00:22:42,549 --> 00:22:44,239
"Afghanistan War Syndrome."
452
00:22:44,427 --> 00:22:45,659
If this guy Heller...
453
00:22:45,719 --> 00:22:47,931
was working on a cure,
why would someone try to kill him?
454
00:22:47,991 --> 00:22:50,494
No connection
between PFC Riggs and Heller.
455
00:22:50,907 --> 00:22:52,461
Maybe he was a hired gun?
456
00:22:52,802 --> 00:22:53,952
It is likely.
457
00:22:54,715 --> 00:22:55,749
So who hired him?
458
00:22:55,954 --> 00:22:57,287
Good question, McGee.
459
00:22:58,176 --> 00:23:00,630
- Got the file from Jones?
- Yeah, reading it now.
460
00:23:01,176 --> 00:23:02,172
How is Abby?
461
00:23:02,787 --> 00:23:03,592
Committed.
462
00:23:03,927 --> 00:23:06,219
You can say that again.
She'd be safer here.
463
00:23:06,493 --> 00:23:08,929
Best way to protect her is
to solve our original case.
464
00:23:09,176 --> 00:23:10,223
Find Heller.
465
00:23:10,676 --> 00:23:13,432
We cannot be sure the doctor's
disappearance is tied to his work.
466
00:23:13,492 --> 00:23:15,645
And even if it is,
he's not going to be easy to find.
467
00:23:15,929 --> 00:23:18,147
The FBI's had a BOLO out
since Monday.
468
00:23:22,232 --> 00:23:24,237
Dr. Phillip Heller,
469
00:23:24,593 --> 00:23:25,445
not M.D.
470
00:23:26,043 --> 00:23:29,449
Got his PhD in molecular biology.
Did a post-doc on Gulf War Syndrome.
471
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,869
Wife, no kids, was treated
for a gambling addiction ten years ago.
472
00:23:32,929 --> 00:23:35,497
- Which seems to be under control now.
- Credit card bills are low...
473
00:23:35,557 --> 00:23:38,449
gas, groceries, flowers.
Does not spend more than he earns.
474
00:23:38,509 --> 00:23:41,761
He was working at a V.A. hospital
when he joined Jones' program.
475
00:23:46,056 --> 00:23:47,217
Start with the wife.
476
00:23:59,687 --> 00:24:01,508
On your six, boss.
477
00:24:10,362 --> 00:24:12,476
I love a woman
who's good with her hands.
478
00:24:13,120 --> 00:24:14,077
And smart, too.
479
00:24:18,671 --> 00:24:21,063
I thought you said
God skimped on the brains.
480
00:24:21,317 --> 00:24:23,433
Well, I'm a man of contradictions.
481
00:24:23,807 --> 00:24:24,926
Am I interrupting?
482
00:24:27,765 --> 00:24:28,509
Yes.
483
00:24:30,952 --> 00:24:32,262
You got anything else?
484
00:24:32,513 --> 00:24:34,015
It's giving me a headache.
485
00:24:35,203 --> 00:24:36,184
Thank you.
486
00:24:37,780 --> 00:24:39,120
I'm on the run.
487
00:24:39,441 --> 00:24:40,809
It's bath time.
488
00:24:41,556 --> 00:24:45,233
"Nurse Ratched" takes a little bit
too much pleasure in it for my taste.
489
00:24:46,558 --> 00:24:47,445
It's a shame,
490
00:24:47,721 --> 00:24:50,365
'cause if she was my type,
this would be the setup of a lifetime.
491
00:25:00,070 --> 00:25:01,814
You're not asking me any questions.
492
00:25:02,351 --> 00:25:04,628
Must mean you already got
your answers.
493
00:25:13,344 --> 00:25:14,681
You're sick, aren't you?
494
00:25:15,403 --> 00:25:16,554
You have it.
495
00:25:18,195 --> 00:25:20,268
Take a guess at the first question.
496
00:25:22,042 --> 00:25:23,321
But what is "it"?
497
00:25:23,741 --> 00:25:25,490
That's the million-dollar mystery.
498
00:25:26,830 --> 00:25:29,070
Have you finished isolating our...
499
00:25:29,151 --> 00:25:31,230
genes or whatever it is
you're doing down here?
500
00:25:32,836 --> 00:25:34,242
I'm close.
501
00:25:35,931 --> 00:25:37,780
That's what Heller used to say.
502
00:25:38,728 --> 00:25:40,206
Look what happened to him.
503
00:25:42,219 --> 00:25:43,041
He...
504
00:25:44,234 --> 00:25:45,303
he got...
505
00:25:46,228 --> 00:25:47,170
transferred.
506
00:25:47,528 --> 00:25:48,840
You're a horrible liar.
507
00:25:48,921 --> 00:25:50,097
I know.
508
00:25:52,602 --> 00:25:54,480
Me, I lied for a living.
509
00:25:55,544 --> 00:25:57,599
Used to run some
of the biggest black ops in...
510
00:25:58,230 --> 00:26:00,726
Panama, both Gulf Wars, Afghanistan.
511
00:26:02,793 --> 00:26:04,229
I was very important.
512
00:26:06,354 --> 00:26:07,706
You're still important.
513
00:26:08,270 --> 00:26:09,089
Yeah,
514
00:26:09,399 --> 00:26:10,652
as a guinea pig,
515
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:12,280
nothing else, just like...
516
00:26:12,637 --> 00:26:13,396
him.
517
00:26:13,926 --> 00:26:15,611
That's okay, I guess.
518
00:26:16,496 --> 00:26:17,710
When I signed up,
519
00:26:18,186 --> 00:26:20,705
it was because I was willing to die
for my country, and I still am.
520
00:26:21,168 --> 00:26:23,665
I dodged a bullet,
more than my fair share,
521
00:26:24,286 --> 00:26:26,168
but these boys today are... they...
522
00:26:26,983 --> 00:26:29,756
you know, they drill 'em to survive
gunshot wounds, land mines,
523
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:31,591
air strikes.
524
00:26:33,544 --> 00:26:36,386
Nobody warned 'em about
"synergistic effects"
525
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,473
"of battlefield contaminants".
526
00:26:39,208 --> 00:26:40,223
Check.
527
00:26:42,619 --> 00:26:44,201
Sorry, I'm just that good.
528
00:26:47,722 --> 00:26:49,442
We're going to figure this out,
you know.
529
00:26:50,735 --> 00:26:53,029
Don't make any promises
you can't keep.
530
00:26:53,763 --> 00:26:55,238
But I got one that you can.
531
00:26:58,923 --> 00:26:59,873
Anything.
532
00:27:02,204 --> 00:27:03,589
Whatever this thing is,
533
00:27:05,061 --> 00:27:06,666
just don't let 'em name it after me.
534
00:27:08,283 --> 00:27:09,002
Deal.
535
00:27:10,390 --> 00:27:11,951
But you have to do something for me.
536
00:27:12,485 --> 00:27:13,435
Anything.
537
00:27:14,641 --> 00:27:16,601
Did you really escape
from a P.O.W. camp?
538
00:27:17,048 --> 00:27:17,748
Twice.
539
00:27:18,036 --> 00:27:18,763
Why?
540
00:27:20,112 --> 00:27:21,174
His buddies.
541
00:27:21,234 --> 00:27:22,408
Rescue mission.
542
00:27:28,541 --> 00:27:29,382
I'm in.
543
00:27:34,354 --> 00:27:35,726
Garage sales.
544
00:27:35,786 --> 00:27:37,221
Always a little strange.
545
00:27:37,735 --> 00:27:39,323
I mean, what is this stuff?
546
00:27:39,590 --> 00:27:40,624
What is that?
547
00:27:40,841 --> 00:27:42,829
One man's junk is
another man's junk.
548
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,197
Excuse me, are you Lois Heller?
549
00:27:46,844 --> 00:27:47,594
Yeah.
550
00:27:48,145 --> 00:27:49,839
Need to talk to you
about your husband.
551
00:27:51,707 --> 00:27:52,505
He's dead.
552
00:27:53,485 --> 00:27:55,298
No, no,
we just don't know where he is.
553
00:27:56,737 --> 00:27:58,205
Well, that makes two of us.
554
00:27:58,613 --> 00:27:59,863
What are you...
555
00:27:59,923 --> 00:28:00,930
a 42 long?
556
00:28:03,258 --> 00:28:04,298
Well, that's...
557
00:28:04,985 --> 00:28:06,667
When was the last time
you spoke to him?
558
00:28:06,727 --> 00:28:09,734
About three days ago,
if you could call it speaking.
559
00:28:09,989 --> 00:28:12,400
We don't exactly have
what you'd call a good marriage.
560
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,819
- Yeah, I'm picking up on that.
- Here, it's about your size.
561
00:28:14,900 --> 00:28:16,389
He give you any idea where he was?
562
00:28:16,663 --> 00:28:17,571
Five bucks.
563
00:28:17,631 --> 00:28:19,586
I'll give you three.
Is this your husband's?
564
00:28:23,332 --> 00:28:24,295
All right, look,
565
00:28:24,355 --> 00:28:25,955
the FBI have already been here,
566
00:28:26,036 --> 00:28:27,957
and I've already told them
everything I know.
567
00:28:28,180 --> 00:28:31,419
My husband said he was going out
for a walk and he never came back.
568
00:28:31,862 --> 00:28:33,775
Far as I'm concerned,
he doesn't need to.
569
00:28:34,921 --> 00:28:36,488
You should think about that coat.
570
00:28:36,740 --> 00:28:38,065
It'd look good on you.
571
00:28:38,478 --> 00:28:39,829
Yeah, thanks.
572
00:28:41,217 --> 00:28:44,389
Well, I guess we got motive. Doesn't
strike me as the kind of girl who'd...
573
00:28:44,643 --> 00:28:45,916
hire a hit man, though.
574
00:28:46,463 --> 00:28:47,977
No, she'd rather do it herself.
575
00:28:48,235 --> 00:28:49,397
Should we bring her in?
576
00:28:49,457 --> 00:28:50,861
Flowers first.
577
00:28:51,157 --> 00:28:52,024
Flowers?
578
00:28:52,084 --> 00:28:53,534
Husband's credit card.
579
00:28:53,594 --> 00:28:55,832
Don't think
he was sending them to her.
580
00:28:57,548 --> 00:28:58,671
Girlfriend, right.
581
00:28:59,235 --> 00:29:03,074
We traced the flowers to a house
in Landover owned by a Maggie Smith.
582
00:29:03,286 --> 00:29:05,633
She claimed
Heller was not there, but
583
00:29:06,098 --> 00:29:07,078
I smelled fish.
584
00:29:11,007 --> 00:29:11,709
What?
585
00:29:12,742 --> 00:29:14,377
Fishy, something fishy.
586
00:29:15,559 --> 00:29:18,840
We found Dr. Heller hiding inside.
Tried to run when he saw us.
587
00:29:19,059 --> 00:29:22,427
He did not get far,
and he was carrying this.
588
00:29:24,322 --> 00:29:25,223
A stun gun.
589
00:29:25,873 --> 00:29:28,726
Matches the same marks
Ducky found on PFC Riggs' neck.
590
00:29:35,125 --> 00:29:36,183
You recognize him?
591
00:29:38,689 --> 00:29:39,487
Yes.
592
00:29:39,935 --> 00:29:41,378
You want to tell me about it?
593
00:29:43,105 --> 00:29:44,532
I had nothing to do with that.
594
00:29:45,022 --> 00:29:48,746
Well, then, how did your DNA end up
underneath his fingernails?
595
00:29:51,876 --> 00:29:54,252
I would be thrilled to sit here
and just charge you with murder.
596
00:29:54,688 --> 00:29:55,538
Murder?
597
00:29:56,006 --> 00:29:57,255
He tried to kill me.
598
00:29:57,532 --> 00:29:59,422
Like I said,
you want to tell me about it?
599
00:30:02,659 --> 00:30:04,262
I came home
from work three days ago.
600
00:30:04,458 --> 00:30:06,191
Needed to clear my head,
so I took a walk.
601
00:30:06,251 --> 00:30:08,766
Suddenly this guy grabs me,
shoves a gun in my face.
602
00:30:09,191 --> 00:30:10,600
I defended myself.
603
00:30:10,899 --> 00:30:12,006
Is that a crime?
604
00:30:16,815 --> 00:30:18,401
You always carry one of these?
605
00:30:20,079 --> 00:30:21,027
Lately.
606
00:30:22,183 --> 00:30:24,872
You didn't go back home,
you didn't call the police. Why?
607
00:30:25,270 --> 00:30:27,784
The police?
People get mugged all the time.
608
00:30:28,175 --> 00:30:30,830
I figured the guy'd be long gone
before the police even got there.
609
00:30:32,784 --> 00:30:34,083
I'm telling you the truth.
610
00:30:34,191 --> 00:30:35,835
I didn't say you weren't.
611
00:30:37,495 --> 00:30:38,796
But you're not.
612
00:30:39,554 --> 00:30:42,465
You didn't go back home
because they knew where you lived.
613
00:30:42,939 --> 00:30:44,926
This wasn't a mugging,
this was a hit.
614
00:30:45,816 --> 00:30:46,804
That's crazy.
615
00:30:48,116 --> 00:30:49,659
A hit on me?
616
00:30:49,868 --> 00:30:52,142
Unless you think
my wife hired somebody.
617
00:30:52,502 --> 00:30:53,882
I know about the lab...
618
00:30:54,535 --> 00:30:56,814
and I know about the cure
you were researching.
619
00:30:59,130 --> 00:31:01,318
- That's classified.
- And that's a dead body!
620
00:31:01,817 --> 00:31:03,385
I already got you at manslaughter.
621
00:31:03,445 --> 00:31:05,573
I can prove intent,
I got you at murder.
622
00:31:05,653 --> 00:31:06,355
Wait...
623
00:31:06,415 --> 00:31:09,242
You tell me what's going on,
or you call your damn lawyer!
624
00:31:11,117 --> 00:31:14,290
- Why is somebody trying to kill you?
- Because I discovered the truth.
625
00:31:19,127 --> 00:31:20,378
Tarburst tried to hide it.
626
00:31:21,786 --> 00:31:25,751
The tasks were compartmentalized,
ostensibly for security purposes.
627
00:31:26,379 --> 00:31:29,070
Isolate a genome,
find a suitable viral vector.
628
00:31:30,203 --> 00:31:31,390
They manipulated me.
629
00:31:32,257 --> 00:31:35,186
All I could see were the technical
hurdles and not the big picture.
630
00:31:35,267 --> 00:31:36,312
Which was what?
631
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:39,701
People were sick,
632
00:31:40,587 --> 00:31:42,502
but I wasn't working on a cure.
633
00:31:44,893 --> 00:31:46,231
I was building a weapon.
634
00:31:55,439 --> 00:31:57,509
I don't know where they came from,
but suddenly
635
00:31:57,569 --> 00:31:59,919
there was, like, a dozen rabbits
running through the halls.
636
00:32:00,452 --> 00:32:01,629
Ready to celebrate?
637
00:32:05,267 --> 00:32:07,051
- Where is he?
- Hang on a second.
638
00:32:11,284 --> 00:32:14,140
This is...
is Sergeant King's room, right?
639
00:32:14,786 --> 00:32:15,636
It was.
640
00:32:16,784 --> 00:32:17,685
I'm sorry.
641
00:32:18,351 --> 00:32:19,401
You family?
642
00:32:22,724 --> 00:32:23,901
Does it matter?
643
00:32:24,932 --> 00:32:26,087
Not really.
644
00:32:26,348 --> 00:32:27,677
Why don't you take a minute.
645
00:32:28,163 --> 00:32:30,160
Sorry about that.
It's been a long day.
646
00:32:38,660 --> 00:32:39,435
Well...
647
00:32:41,616 --> 00:32:42,962
the good news is, I did it.
648
00:32:44,140 --> 00:32:45,468
I isolated the...
649
00:32:47,439 --> 00:32:48,585
Never mind.
650
00:32:49,609 --> 00:32:51,568
You would find that so boring.
651
00:32:52,914 --> 00:32:53,972
It's not a cure...
652
00:32:54,975 --> 00:32:56,794
but it maybe, someday...
653
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:58,351
would...
654
00:32:59,251 --> 00:33:00,104
I found her!
655
00:33:02,977 --> 00:33:04,177
You're all right?
656
00:33:05,968 --> 00:33:06,668
No.
657
00:33:07,363 --> 00:33:08,611
What are you doing here?
658
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,030
The lab is secure.
659
00:33:15,603 --> 00:33:17,036
What's going on?
660
00:33:28,789 --> 00:33:30,593
- Abs, you okay?
- Do I look okay?
661
00:33:30,674 --> 00:33:32,381
What is Abby's rule number one?
662
00:33:32,441 --> 00:33:33,971
"Do not lie to Abby."
663
00:33:34,726 --> 00:33:36,481
We left Heller
in charge at the hospital.
664
00:33:36,541 --> 00:33:39,894
Unfortunately, someone has already
downloaded all of Abby's research.
665
00:33:39,979 --> 00:33:42,169
Research?
It was a weapon.
666
00:33:42,229 --> 00:33:44,273
People were dying,
and I was a building a weapon.
667
00:33:44,742 --> 00:33:46,859
Jones is gone.
Aide said he left in a hurry.
668
00:33:46,940 --> 00:33:49,278
- I'll put out a BOLO.
- I'll coordinate with local LEOs.
669
00:33:51,873 --> 00:33:52,740
How bad?
670
00:33:55,058 --> 00:33:57,167
Jones had me create an enzyme
671
00:33:57,227 --> 00:33:59,370
to target the genomes
of the sick soldiers.
672
00:34:00,137 --> 00:34:02,500
- Is that bad?
- By itself, it's innocuous,
673
00:34:03,154 --> 00:34:04,001
but then,
674
00:34:04,269 --> 00:34:06,748
he had Dr. Heller
create an immunogen
675
00:34:06,808 --> 00:34:09,757
to help the immune system
kill off foreign invaders.
676
00:34:09,991 --> 00:34:12,510
That's bad.
No, it's the way every vaccine works.
677
00:34:12,620 --> 00:34:14,303
Yeah, but
when you put them together...
678
00:34:14,871 --> 00:34:17,096
You can target
someone via their DNA.
679
00:34:17,247 --> 00:34:20,558
You can infect an entire water supply
and only kill your intended victim.
680
00:34:20,871 --> 00:34:22,459
We both made a piece of it.
681
00:34:22,519 --> 00:34:25,275
Heller made the bullet,
and I made the gun.
682
00:34:26,328 --> 00:34:27,845
Assassination made easy.
683
00:34:28,110 --> 00:34:30,443
But really, I mean,
a gun would be easier.
684
00:34:30,935 --> 00:34:32,817
Didn't build it to kill someone.
685
00:34:34,323 --> 00:34:35,491
Built it to sell it.
686
00:34:36,925 --> 00:34:37,867
Perfect.
687
00:34:38,371 --> 00:34:40,290
"Hi, I'm Abby Sciuto,"
688
00:34:40,489 --> 00:34:42,338
"international bioweapons dealer".
689
00:34:42,398 --> 00:34:44,959
Wait a second. How did Jones get it
past his supervisors?
690
00:34:45,502 --> 00:34:46,886
Sick soldiers.
691
00:34:47,497 --> 00:34:48,963
You don't ask too many questions.
692
00:34:50,311 --> 00:34:51,361
Oh, my God.
693
00:34:57,959 --> 00:34:59,498
Come on, damn it!
694
00:35:02,223 --> 00:35:03,072
Come on...
695
00:35:11,780 --> 00:35:13,219
Oh, no.
696
00:35:23,119 --> 00:35:24,990
- <i>Yeah, Abs.</i>
- Tony, check your inbox...
697
00:35:25,050 --> 00:35:27,182
- I need another BOLO ASAP.
- <i>Have you talked to Gibbs?</i>
698
00:35:27,242 --> 00:35:28,960
I didn't talk to Gibbs yet.
Just do it!
699
00:35:29,020 --> 00:35:29,912
<i>All right.</i>
700
00:35:31,052 --> 00:35:32,842
I can hear you staring.
701
00:35:34,108 --> 00:35:35,338
What'd you find, Ab?
702
00:35:35,837 --> 00:35:37,261
It's what I didn't find, Gibbs.
703
00:35:37,616 --> 00:35:40,508
I don't think there ever was
an Afghanistan War Syndrome.
704
00:35:40,568 --> 00:35:41,992
Soldiers were getting sick,
705
00:35:42,221 --> 00:35:44,185
'cause soldiers do,
but look at this.
706
00:35:45,305 --> 00:35:47,472
Someone in the lab was swapping out
their diseased blood
707
00:35:47,532 --> 00:35:48,868
with healthy samples.
708
00:35:48,928 --> 00:35:51,245
Doctors had sick patients,
but normal test results.
709
00:35:51,305 --> 00:35:52,819
They couldn't find a cause.
710
00:35:53,104 --> 00:35:55,529
They thought they had another mystery
war syndrome on their hands.
711
00:35:55,741 --> 00:35:57,093
Jones tricked the army.
712
00:35:57,684 --> 00:35:59,198
They had no idea what was going on.
713
00:35:59,588 --> 00:36:02,201
He got them to finance the project,
and he wasn't alone.
714
00:36:04,758 --> 00:36:08,374
Nurse Dunstan was the nurse on call
every time there was a blood test.
715
00:36:09,807 --> 00:36:11,559
I thought it was just a coincidence.
716
00:36:11,876 --> 00:36:13,375
She was in on it with Jones.
717
00:36:13,662 --> 00:36:15,007
I should have seen it, Gibbs.
718
00:36:17,244 --> 00:36:18,968
Aren't you going
to give me a pep talk?
719
00:36:20,798 --> 00:36:21,507
No.
720
00:36:22,802 --> 00:36:23,569
Why?
721
00:36:24,351 --> 00:36:25,790
Because you're pissed.
722
00:36:26,465 --> 00:36:27,518
And you should be.
723
00:36:30,262 --> 00:36:32,070
- Yeah. Gibbs.
- <i>A body's been found...</i>
724
00:36:32,994 --> 00:36:33,694
Where?
725
00:36:38,194 --> 00:36:40,122
A hiker saw her body being dumped.
726
00:36:40,182 --> 00:36:42,001
- Get a description?
- Nothing useful.
727
00:36:42,061 --> 00:36:45,728
She was on the way to the coroner
when the local LEOs got our BOLO.
728
00:36:45,994 --> 00:36:49,583
An on-site assessment report
indicates manual strangulation.
729
00:36:49,665 --> 00:36:51,530
It appears she and Jones had
a falling out.
730
00:36:51,590 --> 00:36:53,754
He didn't need her anymore.
He was tying up loose ends.
731
00:36:54,058 --> 00:36:55,929
We have a tire print.
Abby is running it.
732
00:36:55,989 --> 00:36:59,760
I imagine this must have been
quite an ordeal for her.
733
00:37:00,233 --> 00:37:01,220
How is she doing?
734
00:37:01,935 --> 00:37:03,306
Much better now.
735
00:37:03,366 --> 00:37:05,936
Boss, no luck on the tire prints,
736
00:37:05,996 --> 00:37:09,234
but Abby has been monitoring
every cell tower in the tri-state area.
737
00:37:09,294 --> 00:37:11,939
She picked up a data fetch
from Jones' smartphone.
738
00:37:13,145 --> 00:37:14,865
He was checking
airline departure times.
739
00:37:14,925 --> 00:37:16,962
- You get an airline?
- And a flight number.
740
00:37:20,382 --> 00:37:23,291
You messed
with the wrong forensic scientist.
741
00:37:26,929 --> 00:37:27,876
Did I miss it?
742
00:37:27,936 --> 00:37:29,406
No, he's letting him sit.
743
00:37:29,852 --> 00:37:30,624
Sit?
744
00:37:30,705 --> 00:37:31,874
He gets a chair?!
745
00:37:32,674 --> 00:37:33,637
He...
746
00:37:34,257 --> 00:37:35,723
he kills bunnies!
747
00:37:45,358 --> 00:37:46,699
I'm impressed.
748
00:37:46,969 --> 00:37:49,016
Didn't expect anyone
to come looking for me so soon.
749
00:37:49,448 --> 00:37:51,228
One-way ticket to Chile?
750
00:37:52,172 --> 00:37:53,483
You got family there?
751
00:37:55,498 --> 00:37:57,151
- I want to make a deal.
- Yeah?
752
00:37:57,867 --> 00:37:58,903
If I cooperate.
753
00:37:59,311 --> 00:38:00,738
Oh, you're going to cooperate.
754
00:38:03,625 --> 00:38:05,366
Look, I'm not proud of what I did,
755
00:38:05,834 --> 00:38:06,863
but with the...
756
00:38:07,395 --> 00:38:09,498
budget cutbacks and...
757
00:38:10,207 --> 00:38:12,321
looking at my pension, I just...
758
00:38:14,830 --> 00:38:16,253
... I figured I deserved more.
759
00:38:16,457 --> 00:38:18,130
And you were willing to kill for it?
760
00:38:19,845 --> 00:38:20,549
Kill?
761
00:38:22,612 --> 00:38:25,136
He actually seems
legitimately surprised.
762
00:38:25,420 --> 00:38:26,263
He does.
763
00:38:26,848 --> 00:38:28,514
What exactly am I under arrest for?
764
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,435
- I haven't placed you under arrest.
- And when you do?
765
00:38:36,709 --> 00:38:38,363
- Oh, my God.
- Murder.
766
00:38:38,629 --> 00:38:40,207
Conspiracy to defraud.
767
00:38:40,782 --> 00:38:42,398
Throw in medical malpractice.
768
00:38:43,716 --> 00:38:45,084
This is a mistake. I...
769
00:38:45,443 --> 00:38:46,450
So cooperate.
770
00:38:47,698 --> 00:38:50,077
- Who's your buyer?
- My buyer?
771
00:38:50,568 --> 00:38:53,916
I know you're selling
the research from Tarburst's program.
772
00:38:54,910 --> 00:38:57,057
I'm not selling anything
from the program.
773
00:38:58,176 --> 00:39:01,132
- Why were you running?
- Because I was embezzling from it.
774
00:39:05,296 --> 00:39:08,222
I was running because Abby succeed.
775
00:39:08,916 --> 00:39:10,307
<i>That would mean a GAO audit.</i>
776
00:39:10,693 --> 00:39:13,713
It would uncover what I did.
I planned to be long gone before then.
777
00:39:13,773 --> 00:39:15,229
I just didn't plan it so soon.
778
00:39:19,021 --> 00:39:21,859
I have records, I could prove it.
I don't know anything
779
00:39:21,941 --> 00:39:23,420
- about a conspiracy.
- Liar!
780
00:39:24,950 --> 00:39:25,883
Sorry, Gibbs.
781
00:39:25,943 --> 00:39:28,449
You set up the lab
so you could sell my research!
782
00:39:28,532 --> 00:39:31,202
I did not set up the lab.
I don't know who did set up the lab.
783
00:39:31,283 --> 00:39:33,260
I was ordered to run the lab,
that's what I did.
784
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,916
Sergeant King didn't get the help
he need because
785
00:39:35,996 --> 00:39:38,252
you falsified his medical records.
786
00:39:39,130 --> 00:39:39,830
Who?
787
00:39:42,380 --> 00:39:44,085
You don't even know his name.
788
00:39:45,003 --> 00:39:46,884
Sergeant Robert...
789
00:39:47,084 --> 00:39:47,815
King.
790
00:39:48,867 --> 00:39:50,973
He's one of the patients
in your program.
791
00:39:51,633 --> 00:39:54,271
I know everyone's name
in that program.
792
00:39:54,331 --> 00:39:56,349
There is no Sergeant King.
793
00:40:06,460 --> 00:40:07,281
Find him.
794
00:40:23,466 --> 00:40:25,591
You look pretty good for a dead guy,
795
00:40:25,672 --> 00:40:27,718
except for the blood draining
out of your face.
796
00:40:27,948 --> 00:40:29,760
Tom, right?
797
00:40:30,073 --> 00:40:31,955
That's your real name, isn't it?
798
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:34,558
What did I do wrong?
799
00:40:36,781 --> 00:40:38,536
You made me care about you.
800
00:40:39,891 --> 00:40:43,442
You're under arrest for the murder
of Nurse Hannah Dunstan.
801
00:40:43,523 --> 00:40:46,695
That is correct, and many, many more bad
things, because you're a very bad man.
802
00:40:47,109 --> 00:40:50,157
Little tip: next time you're playing
chess with a forensic specialist...
803
00:40:50,636 --> 00:40:52,832
- Wear gloves.
- And try to find better help.
804
00:40:52,892 --> 00:40:54,286
Your little buddy, PFC Riggs,
805
00:40:54,623 --> 00:40:56,872
was sending you unencrypted e-mails.
806
00:40:57,332 --> 00:40:59,498
Might as well put a big bull's-eye
on your laptop.
807
00:41:03,137 --> 00:41:03,837
Why?
808
00:41:05,435 --> 00:41:07,594
Kept you from asking
too many questions.
809
00:41:08,475 --> 00:41:10,379
And I like to stay close
when I'm running an op.
810
00:41:10,439 --> 00:41:11,335
An op?
811
00:41:12,272 --> 00:41:14,473
Op... is that what you call
betraying your country?
812
00:41:14,940 --> 00:41:16,849
You have no idea
what I've done for my country.
813
00:41:16,932 --> 00:41:18,559
Yeah, I do. I read your file.
814
00:41:18,887 --> 00:41:21,721
You're the go-to guy
for setting up black ops, right?
815
00:41:22,573 --> 00:41:25,691
Specialty was bioweapons
defense research.
816
00:41:26,262 --> 00:41:28,683
Figured it was time to branch out,
do a little freelancing?
817
00:41:28,743 --> 00:41:31,063
Like I said,
I'm a man of contradictions.
818
00:41:35,116 --> 00:41:36,558
All right, here we go.
819
00:41:36,832 --> 00:41:37,663
Is that it?
820
00:41:40,175 --> 00:41:41,625
That all you have to say?
821
00:41:44,829 --> 00:41:45,702
Checkmate.
822
00:41:55,504 --> 00:41:57,198
Thought she wasn't coming in.
823
00:41:57,258 --> 00:41:58,182
Neither did I.
824
00:41:59,069 --> 00:42:02,186
Vance told her to take a week off.
Maybe she wanted to work.
825
00:42:04,420 --> 00:42:05,992
What are you doing down here?
826
00:42:06,766 --> 00:42:08,094
I don't know. I got...
827
00:42:08,154 --> 00:42:10,832
an e-mail from Gibbs. Told me
to meet him down here in the lab.
828
00:42:10,892 --> 00:42:11,842
So did I.
829
00:42:12,991 --> 00:42:13,906
Probies first.
830
00:42:26,891 --> 00:42:27,739
Come on...
831
00:42:27,938 --> 00:42:29,753
Gibbs doesn't use e-mail.
832
00:42:30,196 --> 00:42:31,530
Hi, guys.
833
00:42:41,297 --> 00:42:42,758
We've been set up.
834
00:42:49,701 --> 00:42:52,192
