MAN:
Hey, Zach! Zachary!

What'd I say about wondering off
like that?

You have to be careful
of strangers.
Sorry.

Here.
Uh, Dad...

balloons are for babies.

Right. What about
the cotton candy that...

Oh, no, that's fine.
We can share it after my ride.

I'll try to save you some.

It looks awfully good to me.
Ah...
Dad...

After the ride.

I'll be watching you.

( merry-go-round music playing )

Dad! Dad!

PARAMOUNT TELEVISION and CBS

A whole hour for a lunch run,
probie?

Yeah, well, uh, while Ziva
and I were out

she asked me to show her
the best routes to work.

You know, her driving's
gotten a lot better.

Barely broke any laws this time.

Let me get this straight.

Ziva asked you, who can barely
navigate the Navy Yard,

to show her the best
way to work?

That's right.

Well, what about me?

I know every shortcut
in the metro area.

I could shave ten minutes off
her commute like that.

I don't know what to tell you.

Doesn't make any sense.

Awesome.

Maybe I intimidate her.

Yeah, I'm sure that's it.

I've seen it happen before.
It's a chemical thing.

It's hard to explain.

I do hope you try.

Told you not to do that again.

Sorry.

I was so intimidated by your
presence, I must have forgotten.

Seriously, Tony,
I do apologize

for not asking your advice
on my commute.

Don't worry about it.

If I would have known
you would have felt so...

"Emasculated."
Is that word?

Yes. Emasculated.
Emasculated--

I would have asked you first.

It takes a little more
than an exotic accent

and some stealth ninja moves
to emasculate me.

Only a little more?

How disappointing.

( McGee chuckles )

TONY:
Don't take sides, probie.

Gear up!
We have a missing person.

Coleman Park carousel
in Arlington.

A child?

Father. Lieutenant Commander
Alex Tanner.

Disappeared an hour ago.

Do you always respond to missing
persons cases so promptly?

Special circumstances, Ziva.

His six-year-old son
called NCIS.

He's in the park, alone,

waiting for us.
DiNozzo, you drive.

Ooh, I think McGee
wants to drive, boss.

Uh, you know what, Tony,

I would really rather
have you drive.

Afraid you're gonna run over
another fire hydrant?

'Cause I'm sure that
wasn't your fault.

Wait. It was, according to
the police report.

ZIVA:
I'll drive.

One more word,
you're all walking.

You got it, boss.

I deserved that.

( various voices echoing )

Zach, hey, I'm
Special Agent DiNozzo.

You can call me Tony, okay?

It's a smart thing to do,
calling NCIS.

Good boy.

All right, I know this
is really scary,

but I want you to be brave.
Can you do that?

Okay, I want you to think back
to what happened today.

Try to remember the details.

There's no wrong answer here.

GIBBS:
What do we know?

Nothing. I think
the kid's in shock.

ZACH:
No, I'm not.

I'm waiting for Agent DiNozzo
to ask me a question.

What kind of questions
was I suppose to asked?

ZACH:
What I saw.

Why I called NCIS?

What did you see, Zach?

Two men were watching us.

I think they kidnapped my dad.

Describe them.

ZACH:
Dark glasses.

One had a military haircut.

One had a shaved head.

TONY:
How old?

About your age.

They had iPods, too.

It's like a Walkman, boss.
An iPod.

They were only listening
in one ear, like this.

Be back in
a minute, Zach.

Dark glasses, earwigs.

Sounds like Feds.

GIBBS:
You really think the FBI
would arrest a man

and leave his kid
in the park, DiNozzo?

Well, maybe our commander
took a walk.

My father left me in a Maui
Hilton once for two days.

Didn't even realize
I was missing

until he got
the room service bill.

Sad,
but enlightening.

McGEE:
Boss, I just spoke with
the commander's C.O.

He's very concerned.
Apparently, Commander Tanner

was working on a highly-
classified D.O.D. project.

What project, McGee?

He wouldn't say
over an unsecured line.

But I'm going to find out.

Footage from the
security cameras?

Park Security
released them to me.

Okay. Get a hold
of Zach's mom.

Tell her she can pick
him up at NCIS.

Uh... boss, boss.

Um... his mother's dead.

Killed four years ago
in a car accident.

Primary next of kin.

There is none.

Just Commander Tanner
and his son.

TONY:
These guys are definitely pros.

Keep their faces
from the camera.

All we've got to go on is
the kid's description of them.

Well, doesn't look like
a kidnapping to me.

They don't have any guns,
they barely touch the Commander.

They could have
threatened his son.

Explains why they left him
alone the park.

What do we know about
Commander Tanner?

Well, boss, he is
a brilliant man.

A dual Ph.D. from Caltech
in number and chaos theory.

I was actually reading his
thesis online;

he manages to link non-
relativistic quantum effects...

Well, that's useful
to this case, McGee.

Uh, last three years he has been

the Navy's liaison
with a defense contractor,

Q & R Software.

Uh, been the project lead for
something called "Honor."

Which is?

Classified.

Uh, I put a call into
the head of security over there.

No one's gotten back to me.

So I thought
I would pay them a visit.
Yeah, that's a good answer.

Tony, go with him.

The sketch artist is done with
Zach's descriptions.

The boy has a remarkable memory.

There's also someone here from
Social Security to pick him up.

Services, Ziva.

Social Security's
for older people.

Noted.

Do you want me to tell the boy?

No, I'll handle it.

Here, sit down. Put out
a BOLO on the composites.

Hey, Zach, good job
on the sketches, man.

Thanks.

That's Social Services, huh?

Mm-hmm. Yeah, they're going
to take care of you

until we get your dad back.

I can take care of myself.

I don't doubt that.

But I still have to go.

Yeah, just for a while.
Come on.

What if you...

What if you don't find
my dad, Agent Gibbs?

I'll find him, Zach.
I'll find him.

Hey...

If you ever need me

or even if you just want
to talk, you call, okay?

I'm sorry we didn't get back to
you right away, Agent McGee.

We've been having some problems
of our own.

What kind of problems?

Honestly, I don't know.

I'm only Mr. Connell's
assistant.

I'm sure he can--

That's, uh, been happening
for the last half hour or so.

They should snap back on.

( horn beeps )

You all right, Ms. Osgood?

Uh, it's Laura.
Laura.

Ms. Osgood?

I'll take it from here.

Frank Connell, Q & R Security.

You certainly got here fast.

We just found out about
the break-in ourselves

an hour ago.

CONNELL:
At 0300 this morning,
our network was breached.

We didn't detect the intrusion
until we attempted

to boot-up our main servers
for maintenance.

Since then, we've had
our hands full

tracking down the viruses they
embedded in our system.

Do we know yet what data's been
compromised, Commander?

It's clear
they were going after

a working copy of Honor,
but, fortunately,

it's protected by a key that
exists outside our system.

A key doesn't sound
very high tech.

An asymmetric algorithm key
that's committed to memory.

Without it, you can't get
the software to work.

It's just random ones and zeros.
Completely worthless.

So, you see, NCIS has nothing
to worry about, gentlemen.

Great. Except that's
not why we're here.

Who has the Honor key
committed to memory?

Our project lead,
Lieutenant Commander Tanner.

( loud music starts blaring )

( cell phone rings )

Yeah, Gibbs.

TONY ( on phone ):
We may have a problem, boss.

GIBBS:
May have?

The Honor code thingy Commander
Tanner was working on

may have been stolen.

They're trying to confirm it
right now.

What's it supposed to do?

Break just about any encryption
in use today.

Well, yeah,

DiNozzo, I'd say that sounds
like a problem.

It gets worse, boss.

According to the people here,

Commander Tanner's the only one
who can make it work.

All right,
I'm heading your way.

Just got to drop off Zach's
pod-thing first.

( phone rings )

Agent Gibbs?

You, uh, calling about your pod
thing you left on my desk?

No.

He's here.
The man from the park.

Let me talk to your
social worker, Zach.

I'm not in her office.

As soon as I saw him,
I took off.

Where are you?

Outside on the street.

Zach, I'm a few blocks from you.
Stay right where you are.

I can't.
He's leaving.

Zach, listen to me.

I need you to...

He knows where my Dad is!

We can't let him get away.
Hurry.

Zach!

( brakes screeching )

( tires squealing )

( crying ):
No!

NCIS! Let the kid go!

ZACH:
Gibbs!

( grunting )

( yells in pain )

You little bastard!

( screams )

Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!

( tires squealing )

It's okay.

New hires just keep getting
younger, eh, Madam Director?

Obviously, you didn't get
the memo, Agent DiNozzo.

What memo?

The one where it explains
the next person

who calls her "Madam" gets "keel
hauled"... whatever that is.

It's, uh....

Unpleasant.

Tell Gibbs I want
him upstairs.

What did the Director want?

You.

Upstairs.

Oh, I'd better check
on those sketches.

I got a BOLO out on the black
Chevy Suburban, boss,

but without plates?

DiNozzo, you will spend
the next 24

personally checking each one
in Virginia, Maryland and D.C.

That's like impossible.
I'm on it.

( whispering ):
You keep an eye
on him for me.

Be right back.

You know, he
was just kidding

when he said
keep an eye on me.

I couldn't remember
when Gibbs asked me,

but I think I got it right.

Got what right?

The numbers.

I mean the license plate.

( tires squealing )

I was scared,

but I remember most
of the numbers.

( laughing )

All right, Zach!

My man!

Come on, give me five.

Come on, meet me up high.

All right, we'll
work on that.

Good job.

Always admired your
way with children.

Ever think of having
any of your own?

Is that an offer, Jen?

No, it wasn't an offer, Jethro.

It was merely
an observation.

You know why I get along
with kids so well?

Because when they lie,
they don't know have the guile

to get away with it.

You wanted to see me?

I have spent the last hour

on video-conference with
the Directors of the FBI,

NSA and Homeland Security.

Your kind of tea party.

If Project Honor's compromised,

it will cripple our
intelligence networks.

They all want jurisdiction
on this one.

And you said....

I have my best Agent working it.

Now,

tell me you have something.

The same men who kidnapped the
Commander went after his son.

Have you considered
that Commander Tanner

might not have
been kidnapped?
I have.

And?
I don't buy it.

Your famous gut again?
No.

His son.

( indistinct chatter )

Yeah, but I don't know.

Abs, give me good news.

Oh, my God.

I got this e-mail that said

I may have already won
$50 million,

and I'm really,
really psyched.

Oh, you mean about the case?

I've been going through
Q & R security logs.

It's like the Fort Knox
of computer systems.

Next generation
anti-virus software,

intrusion
detection....

ABBY:
Crypto processors,

ACLs, firewalls
up the wazoo....

Hey, hey!

Um, okay, no one can

penetrate this
system, Gibbs.

It could be disabled if someone
had a high enough clearance.

GIBBS:
It's an inside job.

Q & R's monitored 24-7.

All the employees have passwords
in access to the system.

Like digital fingerprints,
every keystroke

recorded for posterity.

At 3:00 a.m., this morning,

someone planted a virus
into the network.

ABBY:
It shut down
the security system

for exactly one hour.

McGEE:
Long enough
for our hacker to breach

the network, remove the software
and plant the viruses.

Who?

The virus originated from

Commander Tanner's
terminal, sir.

Someone else could
have used it.

No, sir. The-the data
is very clear.

Simply pointing out

that Q & R's security system

was designed to be accurate
under the circumstances, sir...

Chip!

He's right about the
design, though, boss.

Who designed it?

Uh, Q & R's risk management
team, but all of their people

are former law enforcement
or military

vetted at the
highest level.

Commander Tanner was vetted
at the highest level, too.

Tony is reviewing statements
from the employees.

I'm reviewing the
computer terminals,

but the virus wiped
a lot of files.

It doesn't look good
for the Commander, boss.

Wipe that dirt off your lip!

Dirt?

Feel like I've wasted your time,

Agent DiNozzo.

Bite your tongue.

You've been great.

I just feel so bad
for that poor little boy.

Well, listen, you
think of anything...

you give me a call...

day or night.

( half-whisper ):
Home phone number's
on the back.

( elevator bell dings )

( chuckling )

Where have you been?

I could have used your help

with those interviews.

Oh? You look like you had
your hands full with her.

Watch it with your
sexual innuendo

around the kid.
He's had a hard day.

ZIVA:
He's taking it better
than most adults.

He's resilient.

You see the way he's
been acting around me?

I think it's because
he doesn't like you, Tony.

Kids dig me.

No, they don't.

Zach!

TONY:
Zacharroo, buddy,
come on over here, man!

I was gonna wait until

tomorrow when everyone
was here, but

considering what a brave
little boy you've been

and how much
you've helped us,

I'm gonna make you an
honorary NCIS Agent.

Thanks.
I gotta go to the head.

( Ziva laughing hard )

Yes, Tony. I was mistaken.

Your way with children
is only rivaled

by your way with women.

He's under a lot of stress.

GIBBS:
Where's Zach?

Potty break, boss.

You gonna speak?

I got an I.D. on one
of our suspects.

His name is Vincent Pazzo.

Italian born.

Freelance mercenary.

Black ops, mostly.
Some wet work.

TONY:
How'd you find out
about that?

I sent Zach's sketches to
some people who owe me a favor.

Well, if he's got
the Honor program

and the guy who knows
how to make it work,

then why'd they go
after his kid?

To force him to cooperate.

Then there's the possibility
that Commander Tanner

set this up to make it
look like a kidnapping.

Keep your voice down.

Shh!

That's what I would do
if it were my op.

The authorities are
looking for a kidnapper

when they should be looking
for a traitor.

It doesn't feel right, Ziva.

It doesn't have
to feel right

to be right, Gibbs.

Gibbs...

can I ask you a question?

Yeah. Shoot.

How are you going to
get this out of here

when it's finished?

Good question.

I don't know.

I haven't thought
about it much.

I think maybe you could use
a crane or something?

Yeah.

I could, uh, dig a ramp.

Knock that wall out.
Hoist it out here.

I went sailing once

with my dad
and Commander Wilder.

Didn't go too well.

You get seasick?

My dad did.

Commander Wilder thought
it was funny,

you know, my dad being
in the Navy and all.

( chuckles )

You're gonna
find him, right?

Oh, yeah, we'll find him.

Promise?

Yeah.

I promise.

You want to give me a hand?

Hmm, don't know how.

Come on right here.

Mm...

ZACH:
I don't want to ruin it.

GIBBS:
You're not gonna
ruin anything.

Come here.

See? You always want to go
with the grain of the wood.

You hand there.
Put your weight behind it.

Back and forth.

Real even.

Where's Gibbs?

Uh, home with Zach.
What's up?

Commander Tanner's
bank statement.

Do Americans

usually empty out
their accounts

before they take their
children to the park?

You're kidding.

ZIVA:
Savings, checking,
money market.

$23,000.

Gibbs is not going to like this.

Are we solving this case
to please him?

TONY:
Got a trace on the
Chevy Suburban.

Zach missed two numbers on the
plate, but I found the vehicle!

Rental car out of Maryland.

TONY:
ID's fake, credit
card was stolen,

but that's our
other kidnapper.

Does their car equipped
have a navigation system,
so we can use the GPS?

Two words for you,
McGee:

"Lo" and "Jack."

That's one word.

A what?

It's, uh...

Whatever.

Tracked it down
to a parking lot

a couple miles
from here.

Good job, McGee.

What?

GIBBS:
Come on, let's roll!

Where's the child?

Now,

keep your eye
on the coin.

Yeah... like this...

Now, that, my
friend, is magic.

Now, a true magician

does reveal the mysteries
of his craft to anyone else

but another magician.

But would you
like to learn?

It's in
that hand.

Isn't it?

Oop!

So it is.

He's quite observant.

Does he remind you
of anyone?

Ah, very good.

( chuckling )

TONY:
Got it, boss. Black
SUV, no rear window.

One visible suspect
in the vehicle.

Should we take him now?

GIBBS ( over radio ):
Wait.

We're almost in position here.

Copy.

Are you sure you wouldn't
rather be partnered with McGee?

I mean, the two of you
seem to click, and, uh,

we're about to storm
this vehicle.

Who knows what's gonna go down.

Don't worry, I got your back.

Ha! My back?

Listen, lady.

If anybody's getting

anybody else's back,
it's me getting yours.

In position, boss.

Take them down!

( humming )

Ah, Ziva,
what a pleasure.

Dr. Mallard.

Oh, Ducky, please.

Ducky.

Are you two done
with the name game?

Yeah, uh, our guest
departed this world

only a few hours ago,

but he was in a great deal
of pain before he died.

Seems he was wounded.
Single round.

The bullet lodged under
his scapula.

The shoulder blade.

Doc, I'm
gonna guess

that slug's from my SIG.
Yeah.

As to the fatal injury,

this circular burn around
the entry wound suggests...

A silencer was used.

It was done in haste
by someone

with little,
if any, experience.

If a professional did this,

he would have not
left the weapon.

It's untidy.
Marks of an amateur.

If it were me, I would have
not been so obvious.

There are
literally dozens

of effective ways
to eliminate a target

without raising suspicion.

Heroin overdose is popular,

but requires
a history of prior use.

Of course, something
like insulin or potassium

can be used to suggest
death by natural causes.

I really must ask
you over for dinner.

Mother would love
to talk with you.

They cleaned house.

I wounded him when
he tried to grab Zach.

After that, he was
a liability.

Once again, I suggest Commander
Tanner may be involved.

All the evidence says
he stole the software.

He cleared out
his bank accounts.

He likely
killed this man.

You have to admit, from an
investigator's point of view,

the pieces fit
together quite well.

Or not.

Abby?

Ballistics lab, sir.

You serving
in the military?

No, sir. I was denied that.

Stop standing
at attention.

I just believe it's
good posture, sir.

What, no Zachster?!

Abby, you're yelling.

Oh, sorry.

Where is he?
He's upstairs.

He's a cool kid.

Reminds me of you.
He's like a Mini-Gibbs.

Austin Powers.

Are you calling Zach
a Mini-Me?

Gibbs, I am so impressed with
your pop culture reference.

Tell me
about the weapon.

I tested the Makarov 3-80--
it matches

the hollow-point slugs
from the body downstairs.

And I this bad boy

that we pulled from
the shoulder matches your SIG.

Any prints on the 3-80?
Only from the dead guy.

Tell me you have
something else.
I have
something else.

What is it?

Chip shaved his
moustache.

I didn't notice.

He didn't notice?

He doesn't notice
unimportant things, Chip.

Sorry, Chip, didn't mean it.

Getting off, Director?

Looking for you, actually.

I saw Ducky's report
on the body downstairs.

That was fast.

One of the perks

of being Director.

I get to read
all the good reports.

What's next, Jethro?

Finishing this conversation.

Don't give me
a hard time.

I didn't realize I was.

The man who supposedly
kidnapped

Commander Tanner is lying
dead in our autopsy room.

Tanner is looking
less and less like a victim.

You want back in
the field again, Jen?

Tanner has technology
that could set back

our intelligence-
monitoring 30 years.

Pardon me
for taking an interest.

And here I thought you wanted an
excuse to spend time together.

I just want to know
that this is about

more than
a fatherless child to you.

Boss...

Didn't you notice
that we're

in the middle of a conversation,
Agent McGee?

Sorry. Should I come back?

Yes.
No.

Simply trying to solve
your case here, Director.

Speak.

Um, Commander Wilder is here.

He works with
Commander Tanner at Q & R.

Commander Wilder.

Went by his house
to grab some stuff for him.

Your agents wouldn't let me in,

so I bought him
a Nintendo to play with.

That's the, uh, DS.

It's an excellent system.

I've heard.

WILDER
This is a hell of
a situation.

Zach's been through
so much in his life already.

There a reason
you wanted to see me?

Commander Tanner
is a close friend.

I was hoping
for information.

Over at Q & R,
they're saying he's a suspect.

Do you know the sacrifices
he's made to serve our country?

I do.

I don't care what
the computer log says.

Commander Tanner is no traitor.

What's it gonna take
to prove that?

Finding who is.

Then you should be looking
at Q & R's civilian employees.

Because right now, they're
falling all over themselves

trying to protect
their collective asses.

What about, Zach?

Where's he staying?

With me.

I'm the closest thing
he has to family.

I can take him
home with me.

Can't do it.
He's under protective custody.

You mean they're
after Zach, too?

We'll take good care
of him, Commander.

I'm just gonna say good-bye.

Boss, so, did you tell him
you think Tanner's innocent?

We don't know he is.

Do have something to say, McGee?

Been going through
the evidence we bagged

from the vehicle, Boss.

Prepaid burn phone.

Guess whose number's
on the caller ID?

Frank Connell,
Q & R office.

What the hell
you doing in here?

I couldn't stop them,
Mr. Connell.
It's not
her fault.

She was overwhelmed
by a Federal search warrant.

This is completely
out of line.

I have been nothing
but cooperative.

Explain why you
called

the kidnappers
from this office

the day the Honor Code
went missing.

That's a ridiculous
accusation.

Denying you were here?
I said
in my statement,

I was working late that night.

So you made the call.

( beeping )
MCGEE:
Someone's tampered

with this hard drive.

Tried to erase the command logs
morning of the robbery.

We had a virus.

It corrupted
thousands of files.

That what happened, McGee?

Can't tell till
I get back to the lab.

Okay, bag and tag.

You cannot remove that computer
from this building.

Don't worry, you're
going with it.

Go up and call the lawyers.

You have the right
to remain silent.

Anything you say can and
will be used against you...

TONY:
Hey.

Gibbs got Connell talking yet?

Lawyer won't let him talk,

so Gibbs is giving
him the ol' stare.

Gibbs does it
much better.

Apple for teacher?

It's for McGee.
He's been very generous

with me, helping me
adjust to this city.

So you're giving him an apple?

It's a small gesture.

Well, if you want to thank him,

why don't you
just get him a date?

Gibbs wants to know

if you got anything
he can use on Connell.

Frank Connell's a deacon

at his church, never
had a moving violation,

let alone a parking ticket

and he calls his mother
every Sunday.

The man is spic and spam.

The saying is "spic and span."

Spam is lunch meat.
Oh.

And what exactly is "span" then?

Span is... I'll get
back to you on that.

In my opinion, Frank Connell's
not involved in this.

Good, I'll let Gibbs
know right away,

'cause he loves
to hear our opinions.

He's distracted
by his affections for Zach.

Gibbs doesn't
get distracted.

What do you
call it then?

The boss moves in mysterious
ways. Get this to him.

Why me?

'Cause I'm gonna go see
your little buddy McGee.

Hey, put that back.

I'm just bringing it to him.

Progress report, McGee.

Uh, well, I think Frank Connell

put a trace on Commander
Tanner's computer.

Think?

Well, I've got scraps
of code, protocols, commands.

He might have
put the trace in,

collected Tanner's passwords,
stolen the software.

"Might have" and "think" are
not gonna make Gibbs happy.

Well, whoever
wiped these files

did a really good job,

because there's
nothing left but fragments.

Can't Gibbs just break Connell
in interrogation?

Not with
the $500-an-hour

defense attorney
breathing down his neck.

Puts it on you, McGee.

Well, nothing I have
found contradicts

any of the evidence we have
against Commander Tanner.

I'm with you, Probie.

But he's feeling
pretty strong about this one.

Anyone considered the fact
that Gibbs

may be wrong this time?
( gasps )

McGee,
bite your tongue.

Gibbs knows what he's doing,
we just have

to show him love.

We show
the love, Abby.

Just don't want to let

the bad guys get away
while we're doing it.

Almost blocked
my shot there, Chipper.

You ever play ball?

College.

Yeah, me, too.

Tony, here, ran point
for Ohio State.

What conference
you play in?

They didn't exactly
have a conference.

Division?
Not really.

It was more of
an intramural thing.

Skins and mustaches?

Whatcha' got for me?

Chip?

Uh, fingerprint
analysis results.

Hmm.

You're free to go, Chip.

Oh, I don't mind
staying late, ma'am.

Um...
Go home, Chip.

Please.

Is that an order?

Yes. Go.

I don't know how you can
concentrate around that guy.

I know.

No, no, no, no. No.

I'm too good at what I do.

No, you're not?

I am.

And Gibbs is gonna
hate me for it.

What happened?
I was just
following up

on the murder weapon,
double-checking

to see if there was
anything I missed.

Was there?
Fingerprints.

On the gun?

On the rounds in the magazine.

Well, that's great.

Most people get obsessed
about cleaning the grip

and trigger, they don't think
twice about the bullets.

Now we've got nice

partial thumb, a forefinger

and a perfect index print.

Amazing.
Yeah, I know.

So whose prints
are they?

Commander Tanner's.

Yeah. Yeah, at this rate, we'll
have her seaworthy in no time.

Maybe my dad can help
when he gets back.

( to himself ):
Hubba, hubba.

Dinner at the White House?

A date, actually.

Must be an important guy,
for you to get all decked out.

I'd prefer if you just told me
that you liked my dress.

I haven't decided yet.

Do you mind
giving us a moment?

GIBBS:
Zach!

Why don't you go upstairs
and grab a soda?

( sighs )

How long are you planning on
keeping Frank Connell locked up?

You make a house call
to reprimand me, Jen?

You've got Commander Tanner's
fingerprints on the bullets

of a murder weapon.

Yeah, well, I'm not
sure he did it.

Why?

And don't tell me
your famous gut again.

Zach is a great kid, Jethro.

Doesn't mean his father's
not a bastard.

He might be, but Zach's
our only link to him.

You think he might make another
attempt to get Zach back?

If he does, I'll be
waiting for him.

My dad didn't do anything wrong.

It's a complicated situation.

It's not.
Zach...

Zach, there
is evidence

he did something wrong.

Doesn't matter.

I know in my...

my stomach he didn't do
anything wrong.

You promised you'd bring
him back to me, Gibbs.

Please.

McGEE:
Where's Zach?

Ducky's.

Listen, boss, I spent half the
night taking Frank Connell's

hard drive apart.

There was nothing. I-I think
we need to accept that

Commander Tanner sold
the software.

I'm not accepting anything.

Boss...

We need to look at this
a different way.

I agree. I just talked
to the CIA. They were
very cooperative.

They were?

He owed me a favor.

How many people owe you favors?

How many dates does
Tony go on a month?

This is from Kosovo
in the late '90s.

The man with the shaved
head is Vincent Pazzo.

The one on the left
is Willis Hirst.

They were mercenaries

for the Kosovo Liberation Army.

Freedom fighters.

Not exactly.
( chuckles )

They worked for a warlord--
a specialist.

What specialty?

Coercion.

Torture.

But the... the evidence

we have against
Commander Tanner...

This is a covert operation.
Take nothing at face value.

They framed Commander Tanner

as a diversion.

While they torture him
for the access code.

Maybe he won't talk.

Have you ever been
tortured, McGee?

There's only so
much torment

a human body can bear.

Strong men break in a few days,
but nobody can hold out forever.

Not even Gibbs.

With a trained interrogator,
it can be done in less time.

I can get that
code in hours.

They've had him
for two days.

He's running out of time,

if he hasn't
talked already.

A few hours, huh?

Give or take.

I'm putting you in a room
with Frank Connell.

You have 40 minutes.
Hold off on
that, boss.

DiNozzo, where have you been?
Tracking down the
convenience store

where our dead guy purchased

his cell phone.

Not easy, by the way.

The language barrier between me
and Mr. Singh was

no piece of cake, either,
but once I convinced him
I wasn't gonna shut down

his convenience store, he gave
me his surveillance videotapes.

Is this poppy seed?

Where's the video?

Abby's lab.
Sorry, boss.

She's scanning
the tapes now.

The phone was
purchased with cash

a week before Commander
Tanner disappeared.

Pause the tape.

That woman's got
four phones in her hands.

Zoom in, Abs.

Oh, yeah, look
at the lips.

and the angle of the chin...
curve of the neck...

ABBY:
Okay, we got
it, Tony.

She's attractive.

That's Laura Osgood,
Frank Connell's assistant.

I'll make you a print.

( beeping )

I hate it when they do that.

What's going on?
You bought phones

connected to a robbery,
a kidnapping and a murder.

( beeping )
Gibbs, her number

matches several calls
on the kidnapper's phone.

You're done.

Only way to help
yourself is tell us
everything you know.

I want a lawyer.

( sighs )

Commander Tanner's been
gone for 47 hours.

If he's not dead yet,

he soon will be.
Maybe we can convince

her to change her mind
about the wire?

Oh, I can convince her
far more than that.

How long?
Not long.

McGee, you thirsty?

Come on, buy you
a cup of coffee.

( door shuts, lock clicks )

Boss, what exactly is
Ziva doing in there?

I don't want to know?

Okay.

It was a three-man team.

I was on the inside.

Put a trace on Commander
Tanner's computer,

to get his passwords.

I planted the virus
using his log-in.

Keep going, Laura.

Pazzo and Hirst grabbed
Commander Tanner

to get the access code.

Who set it up?

I don't know.

We were contacted separately.

Money was wired...

( stammers )
instructions e-mailed

on an anonymous
server.

Where is he?

( sighs )

Commander Tanner...

where is he
being tortured?

That wasn't part
of my assignment.

( sobbing ):
Please...

don't kill me.

It's a garage...

near Coleman Park.

( phone rings )

( ringing continues )

Yeah?

MAN:
Code checks out.
Proceed as planned.

All right.
I'll go clean up.

( faint clatter )

( loud grunt )

( gunfire )

( grunting )

Clear.

Commander Tanner...

Zach?
He's all right.

He's safe.
We got him.

( groans )

They told me they had him.

If I didn't give them the code,
they were gonna kill him.

You gave them the key?

I had to.
They had my son.

They showed me proof.

What proof?

COMMANDER WILDER:
Agent Gibbs...

what in the hell's going on?
( grunts )

I... I'm not resisting.

Too bad.

I could have never hurt Zach.

It was strictly business.

We'll be sure
to let him know that.

( grunting )

( handcuffs clicking )

You okay?

I guess.

Commander Wilder was my dad's...

( sighs )

He was my friend, Gibbs.

I should have known.

I shouldn't have let
him fool me like that.

Zach, sometimes...
really bad people...

are good at fooling you.

Anybody bad ever fool you?

Oh, yeah.

More than once.

Someday, I'm going to find them

and put them all in jail.

I believe you will.

COMMANDER TANNER:
Zach?

Dad!

Daddy! Daddy!

You're all right.

I knew you'd
never leave me.

COMMANDER TANNER:
I'm all right, buddy.
Everything's all right.

I love you, Daddy.
