decided to stay with us,

2
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,432
and just so you know,
we got free local phone calls,

3
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,796
daily in-room coffee
and an AM-FM radio.

- Is it clean?
- Of course, it's clean, Lillian.

here, I saw a cockroach, Albert.

00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:20,712
ALBERT:
That wasn't a cockroach.

7
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:23,831
All of the sudden, you're an expert?

8
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:25,951
I'm an entomologist, 32 years.

9
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:27,872
I think I'd know a cockroach
if I saw one.

I assure you, our rooms are maintained
to the highest standards of--

Cockroach habitability?

I was gonna say
cleanliness and neatness.

13
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,230
However, if you folks are unhappy
with the room in any way--

14
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,391
Stay single.

15
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,672
Just let me know and I can see
about getting you an upgrade.

16
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,795
I think we'll take that upgrade.

17
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,354
In my professional opinion,
the risk of serious injury is substantial.

18
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,512
I agree. But there are protocols
that have to be followed.

19
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,071
Which are useless if it doesn't impart
a tactical advantage.

20
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:59,039
Don't underestimate appearances.
I have known entire missions to fail

21
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,033
because an asset
didn't button her lapel properly.

22
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,357
I see your point.

23
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,837
So we are in agreement?

- Heels.
- Heels.

No, we requested the one

No, but a previous guest could have

All this scattered,

fibrous connective tissue
that anchors skin to muscles.

If you look closely you see
neither skin nor muscle.

Yeah, I'll take your word for it.

All of this tissue
was skilfully extracted,

So, Dr. Giggles laid the television on

00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,590
- Doctor?
- Haven't you done a jigsaw puzzle?

You always start with the corners.

00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,949
- May I suggest the plantar fasciae.
- The feet?

141
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,829
Yes, and then build it up from there.
The anterior fasciculus--

142
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:17,155
Of the ankle. And then
the fascia crusis of the lower calf.

00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,960
Well, thank you, doctor.
That's a very helpful analogy.

144
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,909
And a fitting one too, considering
the original term for jigsaw puzzle

145
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,673
was "dissected maps."

146
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:30,960
So named by the Europeans
in the late 1760s.

of the incisions.

All or these pieces of tissue
were removed by a surgeon,

and then put on display for reasons--

00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,349
- had gone into protective custody.
- Mawher must've found out.

462
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,636
You don't use cream and sugar,
do you?

463
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,629
Mawher must've found out
about the case from Abby's computer.

464
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,195
And now he's trying to lure her out.

465
00:26:59,360 --> 00:27:01,670
Does the defence know
they're being used?

466
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:02,989
They don't care.

467
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,357
My guess is that they're gonna use
Abby's restraining order

468
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:10,110
to claim that her judgment is faulty.

469
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:12,558
- Her judgment?
- Yeah.

470
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,031
The defence is gonna argue
that she makes bad choices.

471
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,515
I don't know this defence lawyer.
I've never dealt with her,

472
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,194
but obviously she likes to win.

473
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,558
GIBBS: She does.
- You know her?

474
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,154
Yeah, I thought I did.

475
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,436
If she wants to talk to Abby,
she can do it here.

476
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,718
Yeah, agreed. I'll pass it on.
Jethro, could you leave--?

477
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,513
I already did, Jen.

478
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,994
- Any luck with that trace yet, McGee?
McGEE: Nope.

479
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,198
Maybe we should widen
the perimeter of Mawher's BOLO.

480
00:27:44,360 --> 00:27:46,874
- Hey, Tony.
- Not so loud.

481
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,078
I was up all night scrounging through
that guy's garbage, for Pete's sake.

482
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,872
I'm Jack Kerouac, baby. I'm beat.

483

So the drive wasn't so bad.

484
00:27:57,360 --> 00:28:01,593
At 400 an hour, I'm sure you'll
reconsider when you get my bill.

485
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,229
I'll take it from here. Thanks a lot.

Hi. May I help you?

487
00:28:09,360 --> 00:28:12,876
Yes. First eat a breath mint.

488
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,913
And then you can take me
to the over-protective candy-ass

489
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,198
who made me come all the way
down here for a simple deposition.

00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:21,760

Or should I say overzealous
defence attorney

495
00:28:34,360 --> 00:28:37,398
who came all the way down here
to harass my forensic scientist?

496
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,200
Do they know each other?

00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:40,834
Nothing gets by you, does it?

498
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:42,798
Harassment is illegal...

499
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,593
- whereas I have a subpoena.
- How about that. So do I.

500
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,152
You want the e-mail that tipped us
to the restraining order?

501
00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:58,749
Why?

502
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,951
We're hoping there's routing
information in the header

503
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:02,474
that can help us trace it.

Going after the whistle-blowers

- No, just stalkers.
- Wait, wait, slow down a second.

506
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,676
- Who's being stalked?
- Her name is Abby.

507
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,559
And your lawyer is going
to try to use her bad taste in men

508
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,472
to impregnate her credibility.

- "Impugn," Ziva.
- Yes.

What does any of this have to do
with the embezzling charges?

511
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,517
TONY:
Ooh, embezzling. Nice.

512
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:24,075
How much?

513
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,709
They say ten million,
but I'm innocent.

514
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:29,279
- I was framed.
- Framed.

515
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,794
Yes. In your case
I actually believe that.

516
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:34,473
Don't say another word.

- Where's my e-mail?

Hi.

519
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,356
Well, the e-mail will help
narrow down the DNS server

520
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,193
but we still have a ways to go
on the trace.

521
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,000
I thought computers were supposed
to make things go faster, McGee.

McGEE: They do. It's just that
the X-originating IP address

523

Ieads to a public lP address.

TONY: I'm staying too.

I'm sure Abby feels safer already.

529
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,271
I see you've vacated the elevator
for the evening.

530
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,836
It wasn't quite so cosy in there
after an hour with Queen Boudica.

531
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,880
Did you know that the five people that
die in elevators every year,

532
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,873
they only spend an average
of 60 seconds in there a day?

533
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:53,872
And you've already been in one
for six hours.

534
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,833
Exactly. Increasing my risk
by a thousand fold.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs looking after you.

However, one cannot be too careful,
so I brought you a present.

It's a safety whistle.

539

Emits a 120-decibel blast.

I don't understand why people drink
alcohol when they're depressed.

596
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,194
Because alcohol is a depressant.

597
00:34:30,720 --> 00:34:33,872
Now I'm still depressed...

598

And really drunk.

What did I do to deserve this?

It's not about you, Abby.
It's about him.

I don't know. Why do you?

607
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,074
Because...

608
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,512
I think this might all be my fault.

00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:23,555
Maybe it is.

Just because some defective lunatic

613
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,912
can't get it through
his thick skull that I think

614
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:45,519
he is a defective lunatic.

615
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:51,956
That is not my fault, Gibbs.

616
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,437
That's not my fault at all.

617
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,194
This is not my fault.

618
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,591
It's not my fault.

00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:10,555
Hm.

620
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:14,476
I see why you like
to work on your boat, Gibbs.

621
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,029
It's very, very cathartic.

622
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:22,230
Oops.

623
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,839
Suddenly having a stalker
on the loose isn't so scary.

624
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:31,553
He's not on the loose, Abby.

625
00:36:31,720 --> 00:36:35,031
That's what I came down here
to tell you. DiNozzo called.

626
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,158
The Coast Guard picked up
Mikel Mawher

627
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,994
trying to cross the Anacostia.

628
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:42,195
This is harassment. Okay?

629
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,670
I'm gonna file a restraining order
against your department.

630

Knock yourself out.
They did wonders for me.

631
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,040
- It's over, Abby.
- Not until he finds another loophole

632
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,272
to crawl out of.
He will. You don't know him.

633

Excuse me, director?

636
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,670
The Federal Marshall
is here for Abby.

637
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,753
- Just when it was getting good.
MIKEL: <i>All right, I'll sit.</i>

638
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,309
- Judges don't like to be kept waiting.
MIKEL: <i>But I want it on record</i>

639
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:13,030
<i>- that it was under extreme duress.</i>
GIBBS: <i>Noted.</i>

640
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,430
- Let me know how it turns out.
- Don't worry.

641
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,513
Gibbs won't let him crawl out
of anything.

642

You guys have it all wrong.
I'm not the one trying to hurt Abby.

No, you're just
the misunderstood lover

to be her saviour.

645

- This isn't a game.

- Interesting way of showing it.

No choice. It's the only way
I can get her to listen.

648
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,710
Abby and I have been
going through a rough patch lately.

Hey. There is no Abby and you.

And rough patches don't
usually include cyanide.

That wasn't me.

652
00:37:45,240 --> 00:37:47,800
I didn't know Abby was in trouble
until after you came to my office.

653
00:37:51,240 --> 00:37:53,356
Look, I'm not the one trying
to hurt Abby.

654
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:54,870
But I know who is.

655
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:59,230
Not his name, but his picture.
Right there.

656
00:37:59,960 --> 00:38:03,476
After you guys came to see me, I
started to go through all my old photos.

Exhibits A through G of you violating
your restraining order?

658

It's not illegal if I stay
100 yards away.

659
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,598
It is if you harass, follow or threaten.

660
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:14,990
Semantics, okay?

661
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,037
Anyway, I'm going
through all my old photos,

662
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,237
and the same guy kept popping up
over and over again.

663
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:21,069
That's gotta be your guy.

664
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,556
There. Right there. Him.
The scary guy right there.

665
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,678
That scary guy?
The really scary guy right there?

666
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:30,989
MIKEL:
No, no. The other guy.

667
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,919
Zoom in on the other guy.
Yeah, keep going.

668
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,077
Keep going. Keep rolling.
You see what I'm saying?

669
00:38:36,240 --> 00:38:37,594
I wasn't the only one following her.

670
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:41,594
The only reason I was able to worm
into Abby's computer in the first place

671
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:46,391
is because somebody had cracked
the authentication protocols before me.

672

ABBY:
Thanks for the lift.

673
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,714
I could really use it
after the week I've had.

674
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,315
Don't forget your seatbelt.

675
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,354
He's right, boss. Mawher's worm
didn't penetrate Abby's system

<i>until after the authentication calls

00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,476
- Who cracked them?
- Well, that's gonna take some time.

678
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:11,835
We don't have time.

on his transport. He hasn't left yet.

682
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:25,070
So I guess the lesson is to always trust
your instincts, you know?
