00:18:42,079 --> 00:18:43,740
FRANKS:
Same to you, Nikolai.
347
00:18:44,165 --> 00:18:46,532
- Who's that with him?
- Marty Allen. His lawyer.
348
00:18:46,709 --> 00:18:49,076
Hope he's not a good lawyer.
349
00:18:49,420 --> 00:18:51,502
- Enjoy your tour?
- Yeah.
350
00:18:51,672 --> 00:18:54,414
The place is like a video arcade.
351
00:18:54,592 --> 00:18:57,050
You've got more technology
in one room
352
00:18:57,219 --> 00:19:00,712
than we had in every office
across the whole damn country.
353
00:19:00,890 --> 00:19:04,428
If I needed to interrogate someone
when I worked at Camp Pendleton,
354
00:19:04,602 --> 00:19:07,845
I'd take them into the broom closet
with a telephone directory.
355
00:19:08,022 --> 00:19:10,889
Yeah, no broom closet,
no telephone directory,
356
00:19:11,609 --> 00:19:13,270
no smoking.
357
00:19:13,444 --> 00:19:16,277
Another three reasons
why I left just in...
358
00:19:16,447 --> 00:19:17,937
...time.
359
00:19:18,532 --> 00:19:21,741
Special Agent Gibbs,
may I have a moment?
360
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,281
Hoo-rah, Gunny.
361
00:19:24,455 --> 00:19:26,992
- You know that guy?
- Yeah.
362
00:19:27,166 --> 00:19:28,952
Like a rat knows a snake.
363
00:19:31,128 --> 00:19:32,209
Director Shepard.
364
00:19:32,380 --> 00:19:36,123
Special Agent Gibbs,
this is Roy Carver, Homeland Security.
365
00:19:36,300 --> 00:19:37,540
Agent Gibbs.
366
00:19:37,718 --> 00:19:40,927
JEN: Mr. Carver is here in relation
to a suspect we're holding.
367
00:19:41,097 --> 00:19:42,303
Nikolai Puchenko.
368
00:19:42,473 --> 00:19:46,467
I'd like you to transfer him
into Mr. Carver's custody.
369
00:19:47,353 --> 00:19:49,594
- Why?
- He's working for us.
370
00:19:49,772 --> 00:19:52,514
He's providing valuable intel
on the arms trade
371
00:19:52,692 --> 00:19:55,559
among terrorist groups
in Eastern Europe.
372
00:19:55,861 --> 00:19:59,104
Was he working for you
when he killed a sailor yesterday?
373
00:19:59,281 --> 00:20:02,615
I read the preliminary autopsy report
on that, Agent Gibbs.
374
00:20:02,785 --> 00:20:05,743
Seems there's a lack of evidence
linking Puchenko to the crime.
375
00:20:05,913 --> 00:20:07,654
GIBBS:
He was carrying an illegal firearm.
376
00:20:07,832 --> 00:20:10,290
- Not connected to the shooting.
- Yet.
377
00:20:10,459 --> 00:20:12,700
CARVER: Well, find evidence
that proves he was involved
378
00:20:12,878 --> 00:20:15,791
in any serious criminal activity,
and I promise,
379
00:20:15,965 --> 00:20:17,626
I'll hand him right back to you.
380
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,168
Do we have anything yet,
Agent Gibbs?
381
00:20:21,345 --> 00:20:22,380
We will.
382
00:20:22,555 --> 00:20:26,264
Until we do, I'm releasing him
to Homeland Security.
383
00:20:38,154 --> 00:20:39,815
Ziva, get Puchenko.
384
00:20:43,993 --> 00:20:45,700
TONY:
Hello, this is Special Agent DiNozzo.
385
00:20:45,870 --> 00:20:48,453
Ziva is coming down
to pick up Puchenko.
386
00:20:53,544 --> 00:20:56,957
If he walks out of here,
you won't see him again.
387
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,207
Any evidence you have
won't be worth spit.
388
00:21:01,051 --> 00:21:03,884
We haven't got enough evidence
to even clear our throat.
389
00:21:04,054 --> 00:21:05,715
We can't charge him with anything.
390
00:21:05,890 --> 00:21:09,383
JEN: Mr. Carver, if you'll just sign
these custody-transfer forms?
391
00:21:13,189 --> 00:21:14,896
Director.
392
00:21:15,900 --> 00:21:20,360
May I draw your attention
to an NIS case codenamed Sunburst,
393
00:21:20,529 --> 00:21:22,736
which dealt with serious allegations
394
00:21:22,907 --> 00:21:25,194
of arms smuggling by this man,
Nikolai Puchenko.
395
00:21:25,367 --> 00:21:27,074
JEN:
I'm aware of the case, Mr. Franks.
396
00:21:27,244 --> 00:21:29,656
As I recall, the file was lost, Mike.
397
00:21:30,456 --> 00:21:32,197
I made a copy, Roy.
398
00:21:33,542 --> 00:21:35,374
Jack Vale was the key witness.
399
00:21:35,544 --> 00:21:37,000
He's dead.
400
00:21:37,171 --> 00:21:39,503
You don't have anyone to testify.
401
00:21:39,715 --> 00:21:41,251
I was the case agent.
402
00:21:41,425 --> 00:21:43,007
I'll testify.
403
00:21:43,177 --> 00:21:46,420
Serious enough charges for you,
Director Shepard?
404
00:21:48,933 --> 00:21:51,265
Take him back into custody.
I'm sorry, Mr. Carver.
405
00:21:51,435 --> 00:21:53,972
NCIS is not through with this man.
406
00:21:54,396 --> 00:21:56,512
Homeland Security looks forward
to reviewing the files.
407
00:21:56,690 --> 00:21:58,101
This is an outrage.
408
00:21:58,275 --> 00:22:01,233
I strongly protest your department's
treatment of my client.
409
00:22:01,403 --> 00:22:03,861
[PUCHENKO
SPEAKING IN RUSSIAN]
410
00:22:07,952 --> 00:22:09,442
ZIVA:
Come on.
411
00:22:10,246 --> 00:22:11,611
What did he just say?
412
00:22:13,457 --> 00:22:17,451
He said, "You're a dead man, Mike."
413
00:22:24,260 --> 00:22:26,752
GIBBS: We're taking Puchenko's
threat to kill Franks seriously.
414
00:22:26,929 --> 00:22:28,590
So now,
this is who we have to worry about.
415
00:22:28,764 --> 00:22:29,845
McGee?
416
00:22:30,015 --> 00:22:31,972
Arkady Mikhailovich Kobach.
417
00:22:32,142 --> 00:22:35,260
Late 40s. Served with Puchenko
in the Spetsnaz.
418
00:22:35,437 --> 00:22:39,055
That's the Soviet Special Forces.
First Afghanistan, then Chechnya.
419
00:22:39,233 --> 00:22:42,476
In 1990, Arkady executed three clerks
in the payroll office
420
00:22:42,653 --> 00:22:44,610
because they could not pay his men.
421
00:22:44,780 --> 00:22:47,272
He then shot the colonel
who came to arrest him.
422
00:22:47,449 --> 00:22:49,110
Been dealing arms ever since.
423
00:22:49,285 --> 00:22:51,242
I want a 24-hour protection detail.
424
00:22:51,412 --> 00:22:53,870
- DiNozzo, you're team leader.
- You're in safe hands, Mike.
425
00:22:54,039 --> 00:22:56,952
I've seen your hands, DiNozzo.
They don't impress me.
426
00:22:57,126 --> 00:22:58,742
I don't need babysitting, Gunny.
427
00:22:58,919 --> 00:23:00,626
I can look after myself.
428
00:23:00,796 --> 00:23:03,959
After spending four months in that
craphole you call a home in Baja,
429
00:23:04,133 --> 00:23:05,919
I find that highly debatable.
430
00:23:06,093 --> 00:23:08,630
- Safe house, boss?
- Yep. Mine.
431
00:23:08,804 --> 00:23:10,920
- Make yourself at home, Tony.
- Won't touch a thing.
432
00:23:11,098 --> 00:23:12,509
McGee.
433
00:23:12,683 --> 00:23:14,094
We'll be right down.
434
00:23:14,268 --> 00:23:15,679
Boss, Ducky found a bullet.
435
00:23:16,645 --> 00:23:19,182
DUCKY: It's fascinating
where bullets can end up.
436
00:23:19,773 --> 00:23:22,640
I once found a .22-calibre slug
in a woman's knee
437
00:23:22,818 --> 00:23:26,277
and she'd been shot in the chest.
You see, the bullet entered her heart,
438
00:23:26,447 --> 00:23:29,280
was pumped down through the aorta,
into the iliac,
439
00:23:29,450 --> 00:23:31,612
and on down into the femoral artery.
440
00:23:31,785 --> 00:23:32,820
Extraordinary.
441
00:23:32,995 --> 00:23:35,532
- So the missing bullet's in his knee?
- No. Good heavens, no.
442
00:23:35,706 --> 00:23:38,994
That's much too easy. And anyway,
it would have shown up on the x-rays.
443
00:23:39,168 --> 00:23:40,249
So where is it?
444
00:23:40,419 --> 00:23:42,501
I have no idea. None at all.
445
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,120
You said you found it.
446
00:23:44,298 --> 00:23:46,630
Well, I have.
I just don't know where.
447
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,462
I can, however, tell you how.
448
00:23:49,637 --> 00:23:51,674
It was Abby who gave me the idea
449
00:23:51,847 --> 00:23:54,305
when she said that she would be sick
to her stomach
450
00:23:54,475 --> 00:23:56,182
if she ever lost evidence.
451
00:23:56,352 --> 00:23:58,343
Sick. That's the key word.
452
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,855
So I had Abby run some tests
of material I took from his oesophagus.
453
00:24:03,025 --> 00:24:07,565
And we found traces of protein pepsin
along with all sorts of other things
454
00:24:07,738 --> 00:24:11,322
such as sulphides,
oleic acid, polyphenols.
455
00:24:11,492 --> 00:24:17,033
But the smoking gun, so to speak,
was the presence of Triticum durum.
456
00:24:17,373 --> 00:24:19,159
- Pasta?
DUCKY: Well, specifically,
457
00:24:19,333 --> 00:24:21,870
spaghetti cooked with garlic
and olive oil.
458
00:24:22,044 --> 00:24:25,036
Spaghetti Aglio e Olio,
as the Romans say.
459
00:24:25,214 --> 00:24:27,376
Very nice with a glass
of Sangiovese.
460
00:24:27,549 --> 00:24:31,042
Anyway, anyway, when the bullet
became lodged in his stomach,
461
00:24:31,220 --> 00:24:32,551
he became sick.
462
00:24:32,721 --> 00:24:35,554
What you might call projectile vomit.
463
00:24:35,724 --> 00:24:36,885
He puked up the bullet?
464
00:24:37,059 --> 00:24:39,221
Yeah, find the puke
and you'll find the projectile.
465
00:24:39,395 --> 00:24:42,353
So you want us to look for a pile
of dried-up vomit?
466
00:24:42,523 --> 00:24:44,013
Yes, and I'll need
a generous sample
467
00:24:44,191 --> 00:24:47,354
so I can positively match it
to what I found in the victim.
468
00:24:47,778 --> 00:24:50,395
Oh, and of course, the bullet.
469
00:24:51,865 --> 00:24:53,572
Ziva, McGee, get on to it.
470
00:24:53,742 --> 00:24:56,905
Well, boss, we have narrowed it down
to a few city blocks.
471
00:24:57,079 --> 00:24:59,241
Vale must have still been
on foot when he was shot,
472
00:24:59,415 --> 00:25:01,076
or he would have gotten sick
in the car.
473
00:25:01,250 --> 00:25:03,287
So maybe a parking garage
or a parking lot?
474
00:25:03,460 --> 00:25:04,950
- That narrows it down.
- Yeah, go. Go.
475
00:25:05,129 --> 00:25:07,416
Don't come back without the bullet.
476
00:25:12,094 --> 00:25:13,926
Where is Mike?
477
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,677
I thought you were supposed
to be protecting him.
478
00:25:18,851 --> 00:25:20,808
I was. I mean--
479
00:25:21,603 --> 00:25:23,059
He was right here.
480
00:25:24,023 --> 00:25:26,139
- He couldn't have gone far, boss.
- Don't count on it.
481
00:25:27,484 --> 00:25:29,395
TONY:
Franks.
482
00:25:29,987 --> 00:25:31,603
Franks?
483
00:25:40,956 --> 00:25:43,243
Couldn't find a broom closet.
484
00:25:45,836 --> 00:25:47,827
How do you know Carver?
485
00:25:48,130 --> 00:25:51,839
Just another spook from the old days
that made my job difficult.
486
00:25:52,009 --> 00:25:55,001
You never mentioned you made
a backup copy of that file.
487
00:25:55,179 --> 00:25:58,012
- It was a long time ago, probie.
- Is it enough?
488
00:25:58,182 --> 00:25:59,297
Should do the trick.
489
00:25:59,475 --> 00:26:01,307
What's in it?
490
00:26:02,311 --> 00:26:04,143
Where'd you learn
to be such a pain in the ass?
491
00:26:04,313 --> 00:26:06,020
Working with you.
492
00:26:06,940 --> 00:26:09,477
There's a lot of people who wanna see
what's in that file, Mike.
493
00:26:09,651 --> 00:26:11,312
Guess they're gonna
be disappointed.
494
00:26:12,321 --> 00:26:13,857
There's nothing to see.
495
00:26:15,449 --> 00:26:17,360
But there's plenty to listen to.
496
00:26:18,285 --> 00:26:19,696
Vale was wearing a wire?
497
00:26:19,870 --> 00:26:23,158
And I was on the other end of it,
listening to every word.
498
00:26:23,332 --> 00:26:24,367
Dubbed a copy.
499
00:26:24,541 --> 00:26:28,705
I tell what I heard, the audio tape
backs me up and everybody's happy.
500
00:26:28,879 --> 00:26:31,496
- Except for Nikolai.
- Where's the tape?
501
00:26:31,673 --> 00:26:34,165
- Safe.
- How safe?
502
00:26:34,426 --> 00:26:38,010
Safe enough that no one's found it
for 15 years.
503
00:26:38,388 --> 00:26:40,504
This director...
504
00:26:41,350 --> 00:26:42,886
She's okay, I guess.
505
00:26:43,060 --> 00:26:47,145
But I get the feeling that you've been
working under her a little too long.
506
00:26:47,314 --> 00:26:49,646
The world's changing, Mike.
507
00:26:51,193 --> 00:26:55,027
All of the lines are getting blurred,
probie.
508
00:26:55,197 --> 00:26:58,656
Hard for a man
not to step over them.
509
00:26:58,826 --> 00:27:02,785
And you can call off
this protection detail.
510
00:27:02,955 --> 00:27:05,697
- I can take care of myselfjust fine.
- No, I can't do that, Mike.
511
00:27:05,874 --> 00:27:08,332
All you have to be is a half a second
slower and you're dead.
512
00:27:08,502 --> 00:27:11,244
Or the other guy just has to be
a half-second faster,
513
00:27:11,421 --> 00:27:13,003
just like it's always been.

Second call was to Merchant Bank.

Call was made to Room 7.

- Are you sure?
- That's what the manager said.

Room 7 is booked in the name
of a Camila Charro,

for the room. It was some old guy.
