158
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,512
Well, it was kind of fun.

159
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,359
And they're naked.

160
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,272
I am about to perform my first autopsy.

-Does Ducky know you do that?
-Hey, Gibbs.

163
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,914
I was just about to run this
through the ballistics lab.

164
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,798
Good, because when you're done,

165
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,633
I want to see that mock-up
of the trajectory on the computer.

166
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,199
And I'm gone.

167
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,556
-GIBBS: Why are all these dolls naked?
-Don't look at me, boss.

168
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:52,918
Must be a Goth thing.

169
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,309
It definitely wasn't a pistol, Gibbs.

170
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,835
-7.62 millimetres.
-A rifle.

171
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,276
The problem is I can't tell which kind.

172
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,158
Hopefully I can look it up on the plates.

173
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,356
GIBBS: Then why don't you start
with what it's not, Abby?

174
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,511
Well, I know it's not an AK-47.

175
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,353
There's lots of those
floating around D.C.

176
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,359
The grooving's all wrong.

177
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,909
Without knowing
the exact make of the rifle,

178
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,593
I'm going on guess work,

179
00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:25,115
but I think it explains
why there's no eyewitnesses.

180
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,554
Every rifle has a certain range

181
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,439
where they experience
maximum penetration power.

182
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,750
It has to do with the ammo load,
the length of the barrel,

183
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,598
and the rifling.

184

went through a Marine,

185

ricocheted off an office chair,
through a box, a sheetrock wall,

186
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:42,997
and ended up in our doll's head.

187
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,390
There's no way that shot
came from just outside the window

188
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,431
or even across the street.

So, anything interesting
in Alvarez's complaint file?

Well, it seems he had a gift
for exaggerating

the opportunities available
in the Marine Corps.

One guy wanted to be a paramedic,

so Alvarez guaranteed him
the corps would train him to save lives.

doesn't have medical personnel.

-GIBBS: Technically, he is correct.

I mean, Marines do save lives,

222
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,033

of superior firepower.

This kid wanted to be a pilot.

The problem is,

some of them were too young
or ignorant to realise it.

251

Maybe, but you gotta admit
he had a unique approach.

00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,879
Yeah, and when that got shot down,
he fired off a personal letter to Alvarez

315
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,594
promising to look the Gunny up again
when his contract was up.

316
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,273
That's not exactly a death threat.

317
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,352
Well, his contract's up this year.
But here's the kicker.

318
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,239
Two years ago
he was selected for sniper school

319
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,153
and he was so good that they
brought him back as an instructor.

320
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:35,594
He's there now.

321
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:37,509
Let's roll.

322
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,111
Did you have
any of that shrimp last night?

323
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,271
How could I?
You shoved them all in your mouth.

324
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,033

You're shooting up-slope
with a variable 10-knot wind!

Close doesn't count
in combat, Corporal.

Even a half-inch off your mark,

330

your target gets the opportunity
to live and return the favour.

What can I do for you, sir?

338
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,635
We want to talk to you about
Gunnery Sergeant Freddy Alvarez.

339
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,477
I guess he couldn't
get away with it forever.

00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:37,595
What?

341
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,240
Promising things
he knew he could never deliver on, sir.

342
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,880
The thing is, we're not here
to talk about his recruiting methods.

343
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,758
-He was killed yesterday.
-Shot by a sniper.

344
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,672
How many people can make that shot?

345
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,718
600 metres, through glass. Down angle.

346

You think it's me.

347
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,115
I can't believe he kept this letter.

348
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,358
You've got to believe me, sir.

349

-It's not what you think.
-It never is.

350
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:16,318
Where were you, Sergeant,
yesterday, between noon and 14007?

351
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,198
Individual PT, sir.

352
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,157
I ran the loop around Lunga Reservoir.

353

-Can anyone corroborate that?
-Corporal Stenson.

We work out together
every Wednesday.

355
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,196
-Where's the corporal now?
-Running a Land Nav class in the field.

356
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:29,918
I can have him call you
when he gets back.

357
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,399
I've got a better idea.

358
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,949
Why don't you give me
his grid coordinate

359
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:35,674
and a map?

360

KATE: You sure you know
where you're going?

361

00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,190

and shoot a back azimuth off it.

365
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,157
-Yes, Corporal.
-Corporal Stenson?

366
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,233
You two work out the next azimuth.

-Yes, Corporal.

working on some Land Nav?

Among other things.

372
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,631
Did you PT with Sergeant Barnes
yesterday afternoon?

373

Yes, sir, every Wednesday
between noon and 1400.

-What'd you do?
-We...

375
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,759
We were running
the obstacle course, ma'am.

376

Here it is, okay?

377
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,431
Gunny Alvarez lied to me.

378
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,191
It pissed me off
so I wrote him that stupid letter.

379
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:39,879
But joining the Marine Corps

380
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,236
is the best thing
that ever happened to me.

381

It's 68 degrees in here, Sergeant.

Or do you always sweat this much?

I am not a murderer, sir.

385

You'll excuse me
if I don't take your word for it.

386
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,393
My contract was up
the end of this year, sir.

387
00:19:59,920 --> 00:20:01,991
Why would I re-enlist
for another six years

388
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:03,559
if I hated the Marine Corps?

389
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,353
Maybe you just enjoy being a sniper.

390
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,194
Get a thrill out of the fact

391
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,749
that your target
is totally unaware of your presence.

392

you plan to end it.

394
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,276
Do you think that Alvarez

395
00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:30,273
felt those crosshairs
lining up on his chest?

396
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,390
I didn't shoot him, sir.

397
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,437
Next time drive a little faster, Tony.

398

still have an ounce of adrenaline left.

demands a timely arrival, Kate.

400
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,833
Yeah, well, it would help
if the investigators didn't puke all over it.

401
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:15,274

-Marriage.

is in Maryland

00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,439
you say hi for me.

471
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,313
My pleasure.
You have a nice day now.

472
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:34,954
Hathcock.

473
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,039
KATE: Who's Hathcock?

474
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,834
Carlos Hathcock.
A Marine sniper legend.

475
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,395
Thirty-nine confirmed Kills in Vietnam.

476
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,232
What's that got to do
with the pigeon feather?

477
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,231
It's not a pigeon feather.

478
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,391
Look. Shaft's too small.

479
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,357
Okay. That white bird feather.

480
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,875
TONY: VC nicknamed Hathcock
after the small white feather

481
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,076
he kept in the band of his hat.

482
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,993
-History Channel?
-His biography.

483
00:24:58,520 --> 00:24:59,590
(CHUCKLES)

484
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,552
You read his biography?

485
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,354
I watched his biography
on the Biography Channel.

486
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,438
So, you think it's somehow connected
to the shooter?

487
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:09,715
Don't know.

488
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,757
If we find another one of these
that matches it

489
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,513
in Gunnery Sergeant Alvarez's office.

490
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,511
We'll strip search the roaches, boss.

491
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,636
You realise what this means,
if it is some kind of a calling card?

492
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:20,835
Yeah.

493
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,515
It means he likes to meet the recruiter
before he kills him.

494
00:25:26,360 --> 00:25:29,352
The second bullet's
in way better shape than the first.

495
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,511
Some of the rifling patterns
are matching up

496
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,955
like the Glam Slam Techno Twins.

497
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,552
Oh, sorry! Wrong generation.

498
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,035
Think the Andrews Sisters.

499
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,950
Going back a little far there, actually.

500
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,600
So I don't have enough to be
100% certain that it's the same gun,

501
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,354
but I am 100% sure it's the same model.

502
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,511
Did you backtrack
the shooter's location yet?

503
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,230
Looks like our shooter might be mobile.

504
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:00,917
Following the trajectory in reverse,

505
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,638
there isn't a building or a structure

506
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,711
that makes any sense
as a shooting position.

507
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,120
There's only road.

508
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,077
The shooter fired from a car?

509
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:10,911
Or a truck, or a van.

510
00:26:20,120 --> 00:26:21,440
KATE: What's up?

511
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,919
This whole sensitivity-to-women-
in-the-workplace thing backfired.

512
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:28,189
What are you talking about?

513
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:29,953
I'm talking about the way
we divide our tasks.

514
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,873
I always get the floor. Up close
and personal, floors are scummy.

515
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,917
It's no big deal, Tony.
I would have done it.

516
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:36,070
(LAUGHING)

517
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,674
-But you didn't.
-Floors are scummy.

518
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:40,753
My point exactly.

519
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,672
You would never volunteer
to take the floor.

520
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:43,909
I would have to suggest it.

521
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:45,832
And then I would be met by
lots of comments

522
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,480
about my chauvinism and insensitivity.

523
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:50,637
(CHUCKLES)
I don't need a floor for that.

524
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,553
Cute, but my point is
in order for me to be p.c.,

525
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,472
I gotta take the floor.

526
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,075
-You want me to take the floor?
-You're just saying that to humour me.

527
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:03,878
No, you have a point.

528
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:08,079
And if it bothers you that much,
I'll take the floor. I insist.

529
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:11,435
Thanks.

530
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:12,954
No problem.

531
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,319
(LAUGHS)

532
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:29,720
I've been here for three hours

533
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,155
without anybody telling me
what's going on.

534
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,709
You'll be here another three hours
if that's what it takes.

535
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,518
Takes for what, sir?

536
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,479
-You said you weren't charging me.
-Not yet.

537
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,438
What did Corporal Stenson say
when you found him?

538
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,589
That you two were PTing yesterday.

539
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,876
And that's exactly what I told you, sir.

540
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,151
Yeah, you did, Sergeant.

541
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:57,955
Running the Lunga Reservoir loop
between noon and 1400.

542
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,510
A long route, about nine miles.

543
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,035
Yes, sir.

544
00:28:02,120 --> 00:28:05,954
So how come Corporal Stenson
doesn't remember making it?

545
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,275
You don't have an alibi, Sergeant.

546
00:28:11,360 --> 00:28:13,636
Whether you're the shooter or not,

547
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,593
you lied during a criminal investigation.

548
00:28:18,120 --> 00:28:21,238
Hey, let's discuss those charges.

549
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:24,993
Rachel Hauser.

550
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,159
What was that?

551
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,470
Rachel Hauser, sir.

552
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:34,553
When and where?

553
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:36,998
Noon to 1400.

554
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,953
Motel. Just outside the main gate.

555
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,909
Does Rachel Hauser
have a phone number?

556
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:56,876
Sir, my wife,

557
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:00,513
she doesn't know.

558
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,554
I'm just checking an alibi, Sergeant.

559
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:05,957
The rest is between you and her.

560
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:07,075
(DOOR CLOSES)

561
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,153
Gunnery Sergeant Alvarez
must have recruited the cleaning crew,

562
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,550
because they obviously
haven't been here in a while.

563
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,916
Maybe it blew away
after the first time we swept.

564
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:17,070
A feather's light.

565
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,117
A slight breeze could have taken it
across the room.

566
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,476
Nah, it'd have to be
a pretty strong breeze.

567
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,029
There's no cross-ventilation in here.

568
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:28,599
Ventilation.

569
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,953
KATE: Are we still thinking
this guy is in the military?

570
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:47,838
Something tells me you don't believe it.

571
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:49,035
It's the profile.

572
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,272
This feather is our shooter's
calling card. It's like a signature.

573
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:53,794
TONY: But a white feather
for all we know

574
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,598
could mean he has
a Forrest Gump fixation.

575
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,115
Well, it doesn't matter if other people
know what the feather means.

576
00:29:58,200 --> 00:29:59,270
He knows.

577
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,590
I just think this guy's living
in a fantasy world,

578
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:02,954
and I can't picture him functioning

579
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,759
in some highly organised
military environment.

580
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,195
So you think he's ex-military,
like the Beltway sniper?

581
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,352
Possibly. But why target
only Marine recruiters?

582
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,596
Because they turned him down.

583
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,154
This guy isn't military. He's a wannabe.

584
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:19,998
Now that fits the profile.

585
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,191
How many people
do the Marines turn down every year?

586
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:23,315
Thousands.

587
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,152
And by the time we get
a chance to check them out,

588
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:26,275
this guy's gonna shoot again.

589
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,512
If he continues this pattern,
we have less than 24 hours.

590
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,353
Then maybe it's time
we got more proactive.

591
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,077
DOUGHERTY: And our heartfelt prayers
and wishes

592
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,959
go out to the families
of Gunnery Sergeant Alvarez,

593
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:40,474
and Staff Sergeant Allen.

594
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,915
We are continuing
to work with law enforcement

595
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,072
to bring the person
or persons responsible to justice.

596
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,037
Will the Marine Corps
suspend recruiting?

597
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:49,315
Never.

598
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,591
Marines don't run from danger.

599
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,149
This recruitment office
will reopen tomorrow morning,

600
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,551
manned by one of our finest,
Gunnery Sergeant Thomas.

601
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,998
How do you feel about being selected
for this assignment, Gunnery Sergeant?

602
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:02,991
I wasn't selected, sir.

603
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:04,479
I volunteered.

604
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:19,195
(PHONE RINGING)

605
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,676
GIBBS: Welcome to the Marines, Kate.

606
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,039
-Kate's gonna be your CO?
-That's the plan.

607
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,351
I didn't realise Kate knew so much
about being a Marine.

608
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,829
Kate doesn't know squat
about being in the Marines.

609
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:33,399
She doesn't have to.

610
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,154
I won't be interacting
with the recruits, Tony.

611
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,880
I'll just be there to focus
on how they interact with Gibbs.

612
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,991
One of them might be our sniper.

613
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,993
You're not the only one around here
who knows how to profile.

614
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:45,115
Maybe.

615
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,591
But with that haircut,
you wouldn't pass for an ROTC student.

616
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,310
The vest is gonna hardly even show
underneath this. Need your ribbons.

617
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,755
What do we hear back from the FBI?

618
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,878
TONY: Besides Agent Freeman's
extreme dislike for you?

619
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,472
They'll cooperate,
but he's not too keen on the visible part.

620
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,073
Our shooter isn't a moron.

621
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,436
If he doesn't see police
and FBI presence in the neighbourhood,

622
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:08,840
he's going to think something's wrong.

623
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:10,638
Yeah, I have a problem
with that part too, boss.

624
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,473
What's the point in setting a trap
if he knows about it?

625
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,432
Part of a sniper's mission
is to infiltrate enemy territory.

626
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,319
Our guy wants to prove himself,

00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,274
-What like?
-Being his superior officer.

789
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,357
You mean, did I get
to boss him around?

790
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,159
Make him salute me? Call me "ma'am"?

791
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:20,910
-Basically.
-It was great.

792
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:23,439
(LAUGHING) You're lying.

793
00:41:24,720 --> 00:41:25,790
Am I?

794
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,276
You know, Abby said you looked
really good in your uniform, too.

795
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:31,680
-Did she?
-Yeah.

796
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,599
She said you'd fit right in
with the biker boy,

797
00:41:34,720 --> 00:41:39,590
and the Indian chief, the cowboy,
and all the other macho, macho men!

798
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:40,950
(KATE LAUGHS)
