Abby's right.
I am three beers short of a six-pack.

about your abs, McFlabby.

Last time I did Halloween
I was an astronaut.

483
00:27:02,704 --> 00:27:06,447
Neighbourhood I grew up in--
Well, it wasn't really a neighbourhood.

484
00:27:06,667 --> 00:27:08,374
There were these estates
with mansions

485
00:27:08,544 --> 00:27:12,253
smack-dab in the middle of them,
and really long driveways.

486
00:27:12,422 --> 00:27:15,460
It made Halloween very tricky.
It's a lot of walking.

487
00:27:15,634 --> 00:27:17,671
God, my feet were tired that night.

488
00:27:17,845 --> 00:27:18,960
Dogs were barking.

489

Yeah, I gotta imagine it really sucks

No ventilation, though.

Sweating like Roger Federer

494

after a five-set tiebreaker,
and stinky.

495
00:27:35,529 --> 00:27:36,940
Stinky like cheese.

But man, what a haul.

497

doing God knows what.

625
00:35:07,022 --> 00:35:08,308
Alleged.

626
00:35:09,316 --> 00:35:10,772
What?

627
00:35:11,192 --> 00:35:13,684
Alleged daughter, Miller.

628
00:35:14,237 --> 00:35:17,855
Whether I'm her father or not,
she's still Laurie's daughter.

629
00:35:18,366 --> 00:35:21,199
I still care about
what happens to her.

630
00:35:22,871 --> 00:35:24,578
I believe you.

631
00:35:24,748 --> 00:35:27,080
Then why are we just sitting here?

632
00:35:27,250 --> 00:35:28,866
You're sitting. I'm waiting.

633
00:35:29,044 --> 00:35:31,206
Waiting for what?

634
00:35:31,379 --> 00:35:32,835
[PHONE RINGS]

635
00:35:38,094 --> 00:35:39,926
- Talk to me, Abs.
<i>- Got everything for you.</i>

636
00:35:40,096 --> 00:35:42,087
- On my way.
- Checked Miller's alibi--

637
00:35:42,265 --> 00:35:44,222
He didn't do it, I know.

638
00:35:44,392 --> 00:35:47,134
- You mind telling us how?
- Spent 40 minutes with him.

639
00:35:47,312 --> 00:35:48,427
All you did was stare at him.

640
00:35:48,605 --> 00:35:50,312
You ever tried
reading a Klingon's face?

641
00:35:50,482 --> 00:35:52,564
It ain't exactly easy.

642
00:35:52,734 --> 00:35:56,693
I've lD'd our skeleton.
Our dead John is no longer a Doe.

643
00:35:56,863 --> 00:35:58,900
I got a hit on him
from the DMV database.

644
00:35:59,741 --> 00:36:01,448
Lee Varon. He's 38 years old,

645
00:36:01,618 --> 00:36:04,076
from Fredericksburg, Virginia.
No criminal record.

646
00:36:04,245 --> 00:36:08,489
Want everything on this guy from birth
until Ducky cracked his sternum.

647
00:36:09,084 --> 00:36:10,415
"Yeah. On it, boss."

648
00:36:10,585 --> 00:36:11,871
Right.

649
00:36:15,465 --> 00:36:16,921
Not bad for a blond.

650
00:36:17,092 --> 00:36:19,834
There's no statistical evidence
that say blonds have lower IQs

651
00:36:20,011 --> 00:36:22,378
- than any other hair colour.
- I'll take your word for it.

652
00:36:22,555 --> 00:36:25,923
There's more if you're interested,
Mr. President.

653
00:36:27,727 --> 00:36:29,434
I ran some tests
on the piece of burnt paper

654
00:36:29,604 --> 00:36:30,969
found inside the kidnapper's car.

655
00:36:31,147 --> 00:36:33,935
There were no finger prints,
but I did find traces of chemicals.

656
00:36:34,109 --> 00:36:35,190
- Ink?
- Yes.

657
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,648
When I applied my own
special and unique brand of chemical,

658
00:36:38,822 --> 00:36:42,281
ran it through the laser scanner
a few times, we get...

659
00:36:43,368 --> 00:36:44,733
...this.

660
00:36:44,911 --> 00:36:49,075
The miracle that separates us
from all other primates:

661
00:36:52,961 --> 00:36:54,292
really bad penmanship.

662
00:36:54,838 --> 00:36:56,249
ZIVA:
Miller's home address.

663
00:36:56,423 --> 00:36:58,915
Probably given to the kidnapper
by the staff sergeant's wife.

664
00:36:59,467 --> 00:37:00,673
She didn't kidnap her daughter.

665
00:37:00,844 --> 00:37:03,882
- Then where is Laurie Niles, Gibbs?
- Last time I saw her, with you.

666
00:37:04,055 --> 00:37:06,638
Okay, I admit I screwed that one up.

667
00:37:06,808 --> 00:37:09,175
But why did she run?

668
00:37:09,352 --> 00:37:10,592
She was hiding something.

669
00:37:11,187 --> 00:37:12,427
So you do agree with me?

670
00:37:12,605 --> 00:37:16,143
Oh, yeah.
You definitely screwed up.

671
00:37:16,317 --> 00:37:18,354
Is there something I should know?

672
00:37:18,528 --> 00:37:20,986
I think he's planning
on devouring me.

673
00:37:22,365 --> 00:37:25,278
And they say blonds
have all the fun.

674
00:37:26,745 --> 00:37:28,907
McGEE: Our dead skeleton served
in the Air Force.

675
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,447
Received an "other than honourable"
discharge in 2003.

676
00:37:31,666 --> 00:37:33,577
Did one year of community college.

677
00:37:33,752 --> 00:37:35,834
He was a security guard, boss.
Worked for a law firm,

678
00:37:36,004 --> 00:37:37,915
Kapp and Associates,
in Annandale, Virginia.

679
00:37:38,089 --> 00:37:40,205
Laurie Niles also works
for Kapp and Associates, Gibbs.

680
00:37:40,383 --> 00:37:41,919
She's their chief financial officer.

681
00:37:42,343 --> 00:37:43,424
- So she knew him.
- Oh, yeah.

682
00:37:43,636 --> 00:37:46,674
She hired him to abduct her daughter.
It's the only thing that makes sense.

683
00:37:46,848 --> 00:37:48,509
There's another reason.
They kidnapped her

684
00:37:48,683 --> 00:37:50,299
because they want Laurie
to do something.

685
00:37:50,894 --> 00:37:52,350
Like what?

686
00:37:53,188 --> 00:37:54,849
McGEE:
Ooh. Got a hit on a BOLO here.

687
00:37:55,315 --> 00:37:57,306
Yeah, and, McGee?

688
00:37:57,484 --> 00:38:00,977
This is strange because
I just entered it into the system.

689
00:38:02,197 --> 00:38:04,655
It's Varon's vehicle
and it's been moving.

690
00:38:05,116 --> 00:38:06,732
There's a cop following it?

691
00:38:06,910 --> 00:38:08,776
No, the hits were generated
electronically.

692
00:38:08,953 --> 00:38:12,867
- It's his E-ZPass for toll lanes.
- Doing a lot of driving for a dead guy.

693
00:38:13,041 --> 00:38:15,578
It left Woodbridge after Laurie Niles
and her sister disappeared.

694
00:38:15,752 --> 00:38:18,369
TONY: Made a run up to Manassas,
not too far from Miller's apartment.

695
00:38:18,546 --> 00:38:20,287
- Last hit was five minutes ago.
ZIVA: Annandale.

696
00:38:20,465 --> 00:38:22,206
One exit from
Kapp and Associates Law Firm.

697
00:38:26,179 --> 00:38:27,214
We're in.

698
00:38:31,142 --> 00:38:32,553
That's from Sarah's costume.

699
00:38:36,815 --> 00:38:38,305
Clear.

700
00:38:38,608 --> 00:38:41,066
Plates match our skeleton's car
in the parking lot.

701
00:38:44,739 --> 00:38:47,572
You two, find the girl.

702
00:39:02,423 --> 00:39:05,290
In the last office.
Far room. Far room.

703
00:39:05,468 --> 00:39:07,379
Have visual contact on the sisters.

704
00:39:07,554 --> 00:39:10,216
Appears to be one male Caucasian,
approximately 35 years old,

705
00:39:10,390 --> 00:39:12,597
holding them hostage
with a semiautomatic weapon.

706
00:39:12,767 --> 00:39:15,384
You got a positive ID
on the little girl?

707
00:39:15,562 --> 00:39:18,771
That's a negative. I can only see
the left side of the room, boss.

708
00:39:27,782 --> 00:39:29,773
I'm in.

709
00:39:30,535 --> 00:39:33,368
The insurance money is here,
all 3 million.

710
00:39:33,538 --> 00:39:35,529
All you have to do
is transfer it to these accounts

711
00:39:35,707 --> 00:39:37,948
- and we call it a day.
- I want my daughter first.

712
00:39:38,126 --> 00:39:40,208
You'll get her
once you transfer the cash.

713
00:39:41,713 --> 00:39:44,080
You've been smart so far,
Mrs. Niles.

714
00:39:44,257 --> 00:39:45,918
You played along
to protect your princess.

715
00:39:46,551 --> 00:39:47,712
Hate to see you blow it now.

716
00:39:48,636 --> 00:39:51,970
- You shot my husband.
- I didn't have a choice.

717
00:39:52,140 --> 00:39:53,847
We were supposed to kidnap him
and the girl,

718
00:39:54,017 --> 00:39:56,179
but he chose to fight back.

719
00:39:56,936 --> 00:39:58,802
Don't make the same mistake.

720
00:39:59,689 --> 00:40:04,229
How do I know you're not going
to just kill us when I transfer this?

721
00:40:04,402 --> 00:40:07,565
- I'll kill you if you don't.
- Look, we've come this far, Laurie.

722
00:40:07,739 --> 00:40:11,277
Just do it and let's end this. Please.

723
00:40:12,493 --> 00:40:14,484
NCIS is gonna figure this out.

724
00:40:14,662 --> 00:40:17,245
I've had those Navy cops
running around all night.

725
00:40:17,415 --> 00:40:19,782
They're clueless.
Now transfer the damn money.

726
00:40:20,168 --> 00:40:21,909
- Federal agents!
- Drop your weapon!

727
00:40:30,261 --> 00:40:31,797
[GASPING]

728
00:40:32,388 --> 00:40:35,176
- They still have Sarah.
- If she's in the building, we'll find her.

729
00:40:44,943 --> 00:40:46,775
I'm clear in the hallway.

730
00:40:51,532 --> 00:40:52,988
Clear.

731
00:41:00,124 --> 00:41:01,489
[GASPING]

732
00:41:12,595 --> 00:41:15,257
- Laurie.
- Hey.

733
00:41:15,431 --> 00:41:17,422
We're with your mommy.
We're here to take you home.

734
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,841
We have the little girl.
Repeat, we have the little girl.

735
00:41:20,186 --> 00:41:21,802
Hey, hold up. Hold up. Hold up.

736
00:41:23,898 --> 00:41:25,138
We've got Sarah.

737
00:41:25,316 --> 00:41:28,775
Once we secure the building
you and your sister can see her.

738
00:41:30,321 --> 00:41:32,483
She's not my sister!

739
00:41:32,657 --> 00:41:34,864
She's one of them.

740
00:41:35,034 --> 00:41:39,028
Told me if I didn't lie to you
they'd kill my baby.

741
00:41:40,415 --> 00:41:41,450
Stop.

742
00:41:41,624 --> 00:41:43,661
All they wanted
was the stupid money.

743
00:41:43,835 --> 00:41:45,041
Gun!

744
00:41:47,505 --> 00:41:50,088
- Sarah.
- Mommy.

745
00:41:51,676 --> 00:41:54,134
- Oh, baby.
- Mommy.

746
00:41:55,054 --> 00:41:57,261
I love you so much.

747
00:41:57,724 --> 00:42:01,262
- Oh, God. I'm so glad you're okay.
- Oh, Mommy.

748
00:42:01,436 --> 00:42:04,303
Apparently,
she doesn't have a sister.

749
00:42:05,023 --> 00:42:06,684
Halloween, Ziva.

750
00:42:06,858 --> 00:42:09,441
Be glad it only happens once a year.

751
00:42:09,652 --> 00:42:14,442
<i>The sky is blue, the grass is green
May we have our Halloween?</i>

752
00:42:14,615 --> 00:42:17,198
That's how we used to say
"trick or treat" in Scotland.

753
00:42:17,368 --> 00:42:20,406
- Thank you.
- You're most welcome, Your Highness.

754
00:42:21,372 --> 00:42:23,113
We have a lot of desks to get to.

755
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,201
- You didn't have to do this.
- Well, every kid deserves

756
00:42:28,379 --> 00:42:30,211
- a happy Halloween.
SARAH: Trick or treat.

757
00:42:30,631 --> 00:42:33,669
Your husband is awake
and asking for you and his daughter.

758
00:42:33,843 --> 00:42:35,959
McGEE: There's a car waiting for you
when you're ready.

759
00:42:36,137 --> 00:42:37,218
Please let Agent Gibbs know

760
00:42:37,388 --> 00:42:39,880
how much I appreciate him
keeping his word.

761
00:42:41,017 --> 00:42:43,600
And that I'm sorry I lied to him,
but I was...

762
00:42:43,770 --> 00:42:46,262
- I was just trying to protect--
- Trust me.

763
00:42:47,106 --> 00:42:48,267
He knows.

764
00:42:55,031 --> 00:42:56,647
Look at this.

765
00:42:58,493 --> 00:42:59,699
<i>Trick or treat!</i>

766
00:42:59,869 --> 00:43:02,577
<i>Daddy. Daddy, I got more candy.</i>
