GUARD: On your knees!

(PANTING)

MALE INTERROGATOR:
Colonel Ryan, where is our money?

-Where you bastards will never find it.
-l wouldn't count on that.

How long do you think
you can keep this thing a secret?

If I found out, so will others.

INTERROGATOR: Then
it's a good thing we're in Iraq.

People like you get killed here
all the time.

Maybe you're the one
who shouldn't count on that.

If you're referring to the marines
you were travelling with,

they're dead.

We also intercepted the three packages
you attempted to mail stateside.

It's over.

Then at least tell me why.

INTERROGATOR: We all
have our orders.

Unfortunately for you,
we kill anyone who learns about ours.

Well, I was kind of hoping
for a little more than that.

(GUARD GROANING)

INTERROGATOR: Don't just
stand there! Shoot him!

Sir, it's clear
all the way back to the entrance.

By the way,
it was four packages, not three.

It's my favourite part of the day.

(CHUCKLES) Debbie.

And Lisa, Lisa, Lisa.

Since when did you start giving women
your work address?

-TONY: Since I broke up with Michelle.
-The social worker?

-Yeah, we had a little misunderstanding.
-Like what?

Well, she was under the impression

that we were
in an exclusive relationship.

Imagine that!

So what happened?

She broke into my apartment
and filled my closet with dog crap.

(KATE LAUGHING)

Really? I knew there was a reason
I liked her.

I still have her number.
Maybe you two could get together

and boil rabbits or something.

Not my style, Tony.
I would just shoot you.

And that would be the reason
for rule number 12.

Rule 127

Never date a co-worker. Come on.

Director wants to see us. Now.

MORROW: Three weeks ago,
a marine officer transporting $2 million

of Saddam Hussein's cash
was ambushed in Iraq.

His driver was found dead on scene.

The officer and the cash were MIA.

The officer was Colonel Will Ryan,
Agent Gibbs.

What?

MORROW: The FBI sent this footage

of the main terminal
at Washington Dulles airport.

Two days ago he was spotted
re-entering the country

under an assumed name.

The question is why.

Some kind of classified op, sir?

If it is, no one at the Pentagon
knows anything about it, Agent Todd.

The FBI believes
he may have staged the ambush

and taken the money for himself.

That's not possible, sir.
If he's back in the States,

I guarantee he's got
a damn good reason.

MORROW: If so,
it's one I'm looking forward to hearing.

We need to find him and bring him in.

If he's turned on us,

it could compromise half our operations
in Iraq.

The Colonel would rather die
than betray our country, sir.

I know.
Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

As of today,

he just made the FBI's
"Most Wanted" list.

ABBY: He's kind of cute.

TONY: So, you're into older guys, Abby?

Sure. Dating older is a sign of maturity.

What's the oldest you've gone?

Sixty-five. My biology professor. You?

-Twenty-six. My drycleaner.
-(CHUCKLING) I rest my case.

What do you got, Abs?

ABBY: This is from the airport
surveillance video.

It looks like Colonel Ryan
is talking to someone

but I can't tell who.

Pull all the airport tapes
that match our time frame.

I'm already on it.

-Tony.
-Yeah.

What's left of Colonel Ryan's hummer

was shipped back
to Camp Lejeune last week.

I can have it here tomorrow.

-His personal effects?
-Yeah, I'm checking on that.

Meaning you forgot.
That's good work, Abs.

I just realised something.

Gibbs never gives me
any compliments?

No.

Maybe it's not that
you're dating younger women,

but that they're dating an older man.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

What's "SERE" school?

Survival, evasion, resistance
and escape.

Why?

Ryan served as an instructor there
for three years.

His OQR reads like
something out of Soldier of Fortune.

-What do you think is in here?
-Probably some part for his boat.

No, I don't think so.
The postage is from overseas.

Tony.

He's standing right behind me, isn't he?

Do you want me
to open this for you, boss?

No.

The Colonel's personal effects
are en route from Iraq.

They'll be here in 48 hours.

Anything interesting in his jacket, Kate?

Iraq hasn't caught up
with his records yet,

but judging by his background,
he won't be easy to find.

Unless you happen to know the man.
I have a pretty good idea where to look.

Where?

Check the sedan out of the motor pool.
I'll tell you on the way.

Anytime the Colonel took leave,
he'd come here.

Not exactly my idea of a vacation.

(SIGHING)

You should see it in the summertime.

Do all marines build boats?

TONY: Just the ones
that have been married a few times.

Why's that?

(CHUCKLING) The other ones
can afford to buy one.

-Clear.
-Got a body in here.

Blood's not fully clotted.
This is recent. Three, maybe four hours.

Looks like your Colonel
was interrogating this guy.

Guess he didn't like what he had to say.

Colonel Ryan didn't do this.

How can you tell?

Somebody stormed this place.

He wouldn't shoot the lock
off his own door.

Any idea who, boss?

Not yet.

(PHONE SPEED DIALING)

You think he knows more
than he's telling us?

Come on, Kate,
this is Gibbs we're talking about.

Of course he does.

GIBBS: No, that's all right.

We need the MCRT vehicle
and the ME.

Oh yeah,
and I'm also gonna need a dog.

-Well then, find me one.
-Yes, sir, I'll do my best.

Right. We'll be here.

DiNozzo!

What do you make of this?

So, you think it's Ryan that's wounded?

That makes sense if he was in
the bedroom when his company arrived.

They blast the lock,
Ryan pops out of the bedroom,

he starts to run, takes a hit.
Keeps on going out the back door.

It still doesn't explain our body in there.

Either he was already here
or your shooter stopped

-to tie him to the chair.
-You hear that?

Hear what?

(TIMER BEEPING)

Sounds like a beeper.

It's probably the guy's watch.

I checked his wrist, Tony.
He wasn't wearing one.

(TONY SCREAMING)

(ALL PANTING)

-Are you sure it was a bomb, Gibbs?
-Yes, DiNozzo.

For the last time, yes,
I'm sure it was a bomb.

If you say so.

EOD is sure taking their sweet time
getting here.

Sorry we're late.
Gerald got us lost several times.

Me? You had the map.

We have our own problems here,
Ducky.

Yeah, I can see that.

The FBI take over
our crime scene again?

-Gibbs thought he saw a bomb.
-What do you mean "thought"?

-Do I really have to say it?
-Say what?

Yes, Kate. Say what?

You need glasses, Gibbs.
Are you happy?

(KATE EXCLAIMS)

I'm sorry.
I didn't quite catch that last part.

(DUCKY EXCLAIMING)

I must say, you seem to have
a remarkably fine set of teeth.

Yeah, for an extra
from Pirates of the Caribbean.

I heard that was very good.

-The ride?
-The movie.

You know, Johnny Depp?

Tony's right.
You really need to get out more, Gibbs.

Duck, this is my only link
to Colonel Ryan.

I need to know who he is.

That's understandable,
but I'm afraid it's gonna take some time.

How much?

Well, fingerprints are certainly
out of the question.

It would, of course, be a simple matter
to match him to his dental records,

assuming we knew
where they were located.

We don't.

Is there any reason to suppose
he was associated

with the armed forces
or a federal agency?

-Possible.
-Then we can run his DNA.

I should be able to get a sample
for analysis even from this.

Although, I do remember one case
in Malaysia...

Ducky, how long?

-Ten days, perhaps nine.
-No. No, doesn't get it done.

Well, I don't suppose any of you
bothered to take his photograph

before you ran screaming
from the place.

Hey, that was not a scream.
That was yelling...

Loudly.

Kate, can you sketch him?

I can try, but I didn't get
a really good look at his face.

Tony can help you with the recall.

Nobody talks about this case
unless it's with me.

-Ducky?
-DUCKY: Yeah?

(CLEARING THROAT) Did you know
Colonel Ryan?

-No, only by reputation.
-Which was?

Professional. Driven.
His work was his life.

So, he was pretty much Gibbs?

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Gibbs.

(RYAN CHATTERING)

Sir? What the hell is going on?

-Did you get my package?
-GIBBS: Yes, sir.

I was also at your cabin.

RYAN: Look, Gunny, I don't have much
time. They could be tracing this call.

I have to meet with you.

Considering you just made
the FBI's "Most Wanted" list, I agree.

You need to get to NCIS
as fast as possible, sir.

Negative. That's the first place
they'll try to reacquire me.

Who?

That's kind of
what I'm trying to figure out, Gunny.

You gotta trust me.
We can protect you, sir

-until we figure out...
-They've already tried to kill me twice.

I don't intend on giving them
another chance.

-Where, then?
-At the bar where you bought that flask.

-When?
-Tonight. 2100 hours.

-I'll be there.
-Make sure you're not followed.

I don't know how high this thing goes,
but trust no one, Gunny.

(SIGHING)

(JUKEBOX PLAYING)

-Think he'll show, sir?
-He'll show, Lieutenant.

People change, sir.
How do we know we can trust him?

Call it a gut feeling.

-Permission to speak freely?
-When has that ever stopped you?

What if you're wrong, sir?

(GUN CLICKS)

Then there's a first time for everything.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

(SIGHING)

Damn it.

I'm gonna start over.

God. You're killing me, Kate, not again.

You think it's easy
sketching from memory?

I need a break.

TONY: I took an art class, once.

Let me guess.
It involved nude female models?

Yeah, but that wasn't the only reason
I took the class.

We drew fruits or something, too.

-This I gotta see.
-I thought you'd never ask.

So, are you gonna take off your clothes
or do I just draw you like that?

(CHUCKLES) Kidding.

One dead guy, coming up.

Eyes are always the hardest part
for me.

Me, too.

The nose was kind of angular, right?

And flat on the top.

All right, there we go.

Done.

(LAUGHING)

You are so pathetic.

-I never said I passed the class, did I?
-GIBBS: You done yet, Kate?

(STUTTERING)

I was drawing and then Tony asked if I...

You know, I don't think I can sketch him.

Yeah, I can see that.

I want both of you
to start trying to find out

who Colonel Ryan was working with
in Iraq.

Concentrate on anyone responsible

for finding or shipping
US currency in-country.

-Where are you going?
-Tracking down another lead.

-Where?
-Not here.

(SIREN WAILING)

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

Hi. That'll be $18.95.

(CASH REGISTER WHIRRING)

Here's your change, sir.

-Thank you.
-Thanks.

(GRUNTS)

I don't think Gibbs should know
I'm working with you, sir.

There was a time when you would have
trusted Gunnery Sergeant Gibbs

with your life, Lieutenant.

CAMERON: What if he's followed, sir?

If we're both compromised,
who's left to stop them?

(MUSIC PLAYING)

Okay, we split up. But stay close.

-Always, sir.
-Good.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

-Colonel.
-Gunny, it's been too long.

Here, give an old man a hand up.

-We need to talk, sir.
-Let's talk while we play some pool.

-You're wounded.
-Not badly.

-l need some answers, sir.
-Yeah, so do I.

What happened in Iraq?

(SIGHING)

My task force was charged
with recovering money

Saddam had stashed
around the country.

And we did a damn good job.

We found close to $30 million
in US currency.

-Lot of cash.
-A lot of temptation.

I started noticing irregularities
in the accounting

and when I investigated,
strange things started to happen.

GIBBS: Like what?

My reports to higher headquarters
would disappear, or be ignored.

Shipments would be redirected
or cancelled last minute.

It still doesn't explain
your disappearing act.

Why didn't you go directly to Centcom?

Because someone a hell of a lot higher
up the chain of command

was behind it.

I set up a decoy.

One vehicle,
$2 million in cash to draw them out,

and it worked,
just not the way I intended.

They killed my men and captured me.

Who?

The CIA? NSA?
Hell, NCIS for all I know.

These guys had "black ops"
stamped all over them.

They're stealing money
to fund something

and they're killing anyone
who finds out about it.

What about the man
I found in your cabin?

Do you have him in custody?

He's dead.
A bullet in the forehead, execution-style.

-And you think I killed him?
-Why don't we start with who he was?

I was trying to find out.
I caught him following me two days ago.

How long exactly have you been
in the States, Colonel?

A week and a half.

I've stayed one step ahead of them
until today, when they tried to kill me.

Look, we gotta get you to NCIS.

-Get this figured out.
-Have you been listening to me?

These people are on the inside.
This could be anybody.

Sir, with all due respect,
it's not a request.

We can protect you.

I'm sorry, Gunny,
but I can't take that chance.

(GUN CLICKING)

Someone has to stop these people.

Colonel, you're wounded

you're alone, you look like hell.

You're not gonna be able to stay
one step ahead for very much longer.

Who says I'm alone?

Give me something to work with
at least.

There was a video tripod in your cabin.
Did you tape the interrogation?

-Yes, I did.
-Get me the tape.

(SIGHING) It was damaged
when they shot my place up.

You would be amazed
what my people can do with technology.

If you can fix this,
you can prove I didn't shoot that man.

Here. You might find a shot
of the men who attacked me.

-I'll be in touch.
-When?

When I find out more about the people
behind this conspiracy.

(SIGHS)

ABBY: We have a bit of an enigma here,
Gibbs.

I spent all day scanning tapes
from the airport

looking for Colonel Ryan.
And I mean, all day.

-And guess what?
-He wasn't on any of them.

Yeah.

Lucky guess.

Okay, would you like to guess
what I found out

from the original tapes the FBI sent us?

-It was from more than two days ago.
-Right.

But can you tell me
when they were from?

Week and a half ago.

Did I mention that
I have spent all day doing this?

Do you wanna tell us
how you know all this, boss?

FBI lied to us.

They've been using us to find Ryan
this whole time.

Do you think Colonel Ryan's innocent?

Gibbs seems to think so.

The man disappears
from a war zone with $2 million.

Ends up in the States
under an assumed name.

-What's that tell you?
-He leads an interesting life?

What about the dead body
we found in his cabin?

Like I said, Gibbs thinks so.

You don't always have to follow
his lead, you know.

I don't always follow his lead.

-Like when?
-Like...

Remember that girl Michelle
I told you about?

-The one with the dog?
-Yeah.

Gibbs met her once, told me to run
while I still had the chance.

FORNELL: Agent DiNozzo.

Agent Todd.

KATE: Agent Fornell.
Why am I not surprised to see you?

Just paying a visit.
Thought you might enjoy some coffee.

(KATE CHUCKLING)

Is this the FBI's idea of an apology?

Think of it more as a peace offering.

It's gonna take more
than your house special blend

after the stunt you pulled.

I thought as much.

Croissant?

It's a start.

Where's Gibbs?
We have a lot to talk about.

You got that right, Fornell.

Do you mind telling me what you were
doing in Georgetown last night?

Why don't you ask your men?

FORNELL: Your Colonel's
in a lot of trouble, Gibbs.

Level with me
and I might be able to help.

I have a better idea.

You level with me
and I'll decide if I need your help.

No, it's not gonna work that way.

Tony, Kate, entertain our guests.

Agent Fornell and I
are gonna have a little chat in private.

(TSKING)

I feel sorry for your boss.

And why is that?

You obviously don't know Fornell
very well.

We've worked with him before.

We just don't particularly like him.

So you do know him.

(ELEVATOR MOTOR STOPS)

Tobias,

you lied to me.

Don't take it personally.

I'd lie to my own mother
if I thought it'd help solve a case.

Are you gonna lie to me now?

That depends on what you were doing
in Georgetown last night.

-Colonel Ryan is not a thief.
-I don't really care one way or the other.

My job is to find him.

Then that's a problem
because I do care.

I know you and Ryan served together.
I can appreciate that.

But innocent people usually don't run.

They do if someone's trying to kill them.

And just who is it
who's trying to kill him?

At this point, maybe you.

That's a good one, Gibbs.

You had to know we'd check the tape

and figure out
that it's more than two days old.

Sure. I just didn't think you'd get it done
that fast.

What changed?

Why the rush to find him right now?

One of my men disappeared
two days ago.

Just after he reported
sighting the colonel.

And you put me on the trail
and hoped that I'd lead you right to him.

If it was your man, are you telling me
you wouldn't do the same?

Next time, just ask for our help.

You don't exactly have a reputation
for playing well with others, Gibbs.

Maybe I might've been able
to help save him.

What do you mean, save him?

(GASPING)

He was getting married next month.

-We don't know it's Agent Carlson yet.
-I'm sorry, but I'm afraid it is.

The dental records are conclusive.
Our John Doe is your missing agent.

-Now your colonel is a murderer.
-Colonel Ryan didn't do this.

And how could you possibly know that?

There was evidence of a break-in
and a gun battle at his cabin.

-We need to see it.
-So do we.

Unfortunately it was incinerated
in the explosion.

That's pretty convenient.

Hey, all this started
because you people lied to us.

Agent Todd, if Ryan's innocent,

how did my man end up handcuffed
at his cabin in the first place?

I'll get you your evidence.

-How?
-Any way I can.

Your boss is playing a dangerous game.

-He doesn't play games.
-Well, neither do we.

If I find Gibbs is helping Ryan

I'll have him charged
as an accessory to murder.

Let's go.

-He's right. We have to do something.
-Like what?

I mean, Gibbs obviously
doesn't trust us enough

to tell us what's going on.

You don't honestly believe that, do you?

Don't you see?

Gibbs is doing his very best
to protect you.

-From what?
-From being accessories yourselves.

Look, he's willing to risk his own life
and reputation for a friend,

but he's not gonna risk yours.

So what do we do, Ducky?

You let him know
that he's not alone in his convictions.

-Abby?
-ABBY: Hey, Gibbs.

What did you wanna see me about?

I'm retesting Colonel Ryan's vehicle
to make sure,

but I don't think this damage came
from an Iraqi weapon system.

What then?

The chemical signatures
are matched to an American AT4.

It's a light anti-tank weapon.
It looks like friendly fire.

I don't know if "friendly" had anything
to do with it.

-Thanks, Abs.
-Gibbs?

Actually, we asked you
to come down here for another reason.

-We?
-KATE: She means us.

-We need to talk to you, boss.
-About what?

About what you're not telling us.

We know you made contact
with Colonel Ryan.

Tony lifted your cell phone
while you were charging it today.

You received a phone call last night
around 1900

from a bar payphone in Georgetown,
McPhinley's pub.

-You lifted my cell phone?
-Borrowed.

But we showed your photo and Ryan's
to the bartender this afternoon.

He remembered seeing the both of you
between 2100 and 2130.

Which explains why you knew Ryan had
been in the country more than two days.

You "borrowed" my cell phone?

Look, we understand the situation
and we just wanna help.

We can't back your play
if we don't know what it is.

Now, let me get this straight.

What you're saying
is you stole my cell phone.

I think next time we can skip
the cell phone part, Kate.

This tape could prove that Colonel Ryan
did not kill Fornell's agent.

Do you think you can find out
what's on that for me?

All you had to do was ask, Gibbs.

Okay.

Okay, I will try to remember that
for next time.

Tony, touch my cell phone again,

I'll break your fingers.

You know, he really does like you.

CARLSON: (ON TAPE) I don't know
anything about a conspiracy.

I told you, I'm an FBI agent.
I've never even been to Iraq.

What about you, Lieutenant Cameron.
Do you believe him?

Neither do I.

Who the hell are you?

We're asking the questions!

What is the money being used for?
Who is running your unit?

(GUNS FIRING)

They found us, grab the camera!

The end of the tape
received the most damage.

I haven't been able
to pull much info from it.

The video processing lab
would probably have better luck.

I'd like to keep this in-house.
See what you can do.

Anyone catch a glimpse of the person
he was talking to off-camera?

No, but he called him
Lieutenant Cameron.

You ever hear of him, Gibbs?

The Colonel and I used to work
with a Lieutenant Cameron.

-Do you think it's him?
-No.

-Why not?
-Because he died 14 years ago.

Was there anyone in the bar with him
last night?

Not that I could tell.

Kate,
run down every Cameron you can find

in the Pentagon database.

You got it.

GIBBS: Abby, you and Tony
transcribe the tape.

I had a tough time following
his line of questioning.

TONY: Where are you going?
GIBBS: Home. To think.

(FLOORBOARD CREAKING)

(GUN COCKING)

RYAN: There's no need for that, Gunny.

You're not looking too good, sir.

Looks can be deceiving.

I watched the tape.
The man following you was FBI.

Now you know what I'm up against.

I told you, they're everywhere.

-Who were you talking to off-camera?
-You didn't recognise his voice?

-Whose voice?
-Your company XO.

You're working with
Lieutenant Cameron?

Just like old times, Gunny.

Sir, Lieutenant Cameron's dead.

Yeah. Yeah, I thought so, too.

This group has been active
since Desert Storm.

They tried to recruit him
but he fooled them.

He died in my arms, sir.
You were standing right there.

We saw what they wanted us to see.
When are you gonna get it?

I get it. You need help.

-I'm taking you in, sir.
-Put the gun down.

No. No, I can't do that.

It was the second place I looked.

(GUN CLATTERING)

I know it's a shock, Jethro,
but maybe you'll believe your own eyes.

Lieutenant?

He doesn't look happy to see me,
Colonel.

This group has been influencing
national policy for years, Gunny.

The bad intel we were fed on Iraq,
the breakdown on info prior to 9/11.

Lieutenant Cameron
was working with them?

-More like infiltrating.
-RYAN: It's part of a small cell.

We've been trying
to trace the organisation

and find out who's at the top.

Well, then we need help.
We should go to my office.

Negative.

They'd kill us before we even got close
to the building.

The way I see it, Colonel,
we're a little outgunned here.

Well,

(SIGHING)

we made some preparations.

What kind?

You'd be amazed at what you can
get your hands on these days.

Is that why you needed the $2 million
you took from Iraq?

What makes you think we have it?

They tore your cabin apart
looking for something.

Then they must have been pretty upset
when they didn't find it.

(CHUCKLING) Well, yeah.
Yeah, they were.

They blew it up.

-Where's the money?
-Someplace safe.

We need to tell him.

CAMERON: I don't know, sir.

What if he doesn't believe us?

Colonel, look, you contacted me.

You want my help,
you need to level with me.

No, it's not that we don't trust you,
Gunny. The question is,

are you prepared to believe it?

-Gibbs is two hours late.
-And he's not answering his cell.

Should we swing by his house?

No need. I've already been there.

Did you order coffee, Kate?

Your boss has crossed the line.

We'll be sure to let him know
the next time we see him.

If I were you, I'd start looking.

Why is that?

Because this is a warrant for his arrest.

RYAN: The perfect base of operations,

it's in my aunt's name.

-Nobody's used it for years.
-Base for what?

To fight a war.

They're not the only ones

who know how to smuggle things
out of Iraq.

What exactly are you planning, Colonel?

I'm planning on exposing them,

by force if necessary.

What about the missing money?

Half of it's here, half at another location
with the lieutenant.

How long have you known
he was still alive?

Almost two years now.

-Where is he now?
-He's close.

Who you calling?

I need to contact my team,

see if they got any information
out of that video tape you gave me.

(PHONE SPEED DIALING)

KATE: I understand,
but I don't know where he is.

Where the hell are you? Fornell's here
with a warrant for your arrest.

Well, then it's a good thing
I'm not there, then.

This is serious.
He thinks you're with Colonel Ryan.

Well, he's smarter than he looks.

See if you can get Abby to pull whatever
she can off that video tape for me.

What are we looking for?

Anything that'll prove that Colonel Ryan
did not kill that FBI agent.

We've got a solid contact.

TONY: Whatever you do,
don't come back here.

GIBBS: I wasn't planning on it.

-I'll be in touch.
-I just hope you know what you're...

(PHONE GOES DEAD)

We've got a location.

It originated from the
Warehouse district in Fairfax, Virginia.

All teams stand by
to receive intercept orders.

-AGENT: (ON RADIO) Roger that.
-We got him.

It's not much.
Most of the data was corrupt.

-For all we know, it could be Ryan.
-If we're gonna get Gibbs out of this,

we need more
than a shadow puppet, Abby.

I've been rendering several frames
over the past hour,

using a modified algorithm
I snuck out of NASA on my last visit.

It's based on
the Mars Global Surveyor's ability

to interpolate information
from corresponding pixels,

So you can build a composite...

Today, Abs?

-That is very Gibbs of you, Tony.
-Thanks, I've been practising.

(BEEPING)

Looks like we have a face on Mars.

KATE: I've seen this guy before.

In the files Gibbs had us run down

on units responsible
for transferring money in Iraq.

I think he's a reserve army colonel.

Let's roll.

(LOCK BEEPING)

Looks like Kate's been practising, too.

Let's just hope we get the real one back
when this is over.

(GUN COCKING)

I need to know
what Cameron's been telling you.

Enough to convince me
that they have people in every branch

of our government.

How do you know you can believe him?

He saved my life in Iraq.
He has no reason to lie.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Yeah?

We've got a positive ID
on one of the shooters at the cabin.

Reserve Army Colonel Mike Granger.

He rotated out of Iraq two weeks ago.

-To where?
-Virginia.

He owns a small business in Fairfax
and he's there now.

You ready to write down an address?

(KATE INSTRUCTING)

Got it.

I know who's behind your conspiracy.
We ID'd him off the tape.

-Is that his address?
-Yeah, it is.

We can pick him up for questioning.

No, no, no. You don't cut off
a conspiracy by taking out foot soldiers.

-You strike at the head.
-Colonel, you've gotta trust me on this.

Trust you? Trust you
like the lieutenant trusted you

or have you forgotten
about Lieutenant Cameron?

No, sir! I have not forgotten him.

I think about him every night!
Have you forgotten him, sir?

CHARLES: Spread out, go, go! Go, go!

Right.

It's the FBI! Put your hands in the air!

NCIS! Cease fire!

-You set me up!
-Then why are they shooting at me?

Stay down and let me do the talking.

In sight.

Find them.

Subject on target.

Hold your fire!

NCIS! Cease fire!

AGENT: We've got a runner!

GIBBS: Cease fire!

(GRUNTS)

Damn it! Stop shooting!

-We need to talk.
-You're under arrest.

For what?

For pissing off the FBI.

Get used to it.

(WOMAN CHATTERING ON RADIO)

Give me one reason I don't charge you

with aiding and abetting
a suspected murderer right now.

I know where Colonel Ryan's headed.

-Where?
-Your men are trigger-happy, Fornell.

Let me bring him in.

You're not exactly in a position
to be making demands, Gibbs.

Do you want him or not?

-If you screw me on this...
-I'll consider it a bonus.

FORNELL: What makes you think
he's coming here?

Granger tried to kill the colonel.

Your agent got caught in the middle.

The colonel had enough weapons
and explosives in that warehouse

to take out half of DC.

How high does he think
this conspiracy goes?

That's what he's trying to find out.

(WOMAN SCREAMING)

Let me go!

You take a shot at him,
you answer to me.

I can live with that.

This is the last time I'm gonna ask.

Who are you working for?
The CIA, huh? The FBI?

-For ourselves.
-No!

It goes higher than just your greed!

We risked our lives
bringing down Saddam.

Why shouldn't we take
a little of his money?

Do you think he'll talk if I blow
his kneecap off next, Lieutenant?

-Who's in there with him?
-An old friend.

Stay here. I'll bring him out.

Last chance.

Who's behind it?

FBI, CIA, whoever you want.
Please don't shoot me.

I wouldn't waste the bullet.

(GROANS)

(GUN COCKING)

Colonel, I told you
we couldn't trust the Gunny.

Put the gun down, sir.
There is no conspiracy.

He led them to the warehouse.
You can't believe a thing he says, sir.

The lieutenant's right.

-Thank you, sir.
-FORNELL: Put the gun down!

I told you to wait in the hall.

As much as I'd like to,
I'm not gonna let him shoot you, Gibbs.

-Drop it! Now!
-This whole thing was a set up!

(STUTTERING) Why would you do that?

I don't understand.

Neither did Lieutenant Cameron
when he died, sir.

-I'm not dead, sir! I'm right here.
-I can see that, Lieutenant!

Lieutenant Cameron bled out
in my arms, sir.

-I couldn't save him.
-Shut up, Gunny!

Where is the lieutenant, Colonel?

Is he behind me?

I said shut up!

Don't do this to me. Not again.

The lieutenant died a long time ago, sir.

There's a part of you
that I know remembers that.

(STUTTERING) That's not...

No, that's not true. That can't be true.

Give me the gun, Colonel.
Let me get you some help.

(EXHALING)

GIBBS: Sir?

Colonel! Colonel!

If you wanna shoot somebody,
shoot me!

Lieutenant Cameron died saving my life!

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Colonel.

RYAN: (SOBBING) Cameron's gone.

I don't understand.

It's okay.

None of us ever do.

TOLLIN: Though it's rare
for paranoid schizophrenia

to strike a man this late in life,
it's not unheard of.

I'm hoping that
with the right medication

he can return to a relatively normal life.

Just because you're paranoid

doesn't mean
people aren't out to get you.

Any idea why he fixated
on Lieutenant Cameron, Gibbs?

Yeah. Some.

(EXPLOSIONS)

GIBBS: Corpsman!

Hold on, Lieutenant Cameron!
You gotta hold on!

CAMERON: / can't, Gunny.

Colonel, I don't understand.

(WHISPERING) I don't understand.

I don't understand.

I don't understand.

I don't understand.
