Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:04,105 --> 00:00:05,506
So when you say
you're sure,
2
00:00:05,539 --> 00:00:06,607
how sure are you?
3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,309
Sure enough that
if you don't ask
4
00:00:08,342 --> 00:00:10,478
her out by tomorrow, I'm gonna
start spiking your coffee
5
00:00:10,511 --> 00:00:11,479
with testosterone, man.
6
00:00:11,512 --> 00:00:12,346
Yeah, but what
if you're wrong?
7
00:00:12,380 --> 00:00:14,682
J.B., trust me, the
girl's into you.
8
00:00:14,715 --> 00:00:15,716
Hey, careful!
9
00:00:15,749 --> 00:00:18,419
Ah, relax.
10
00:00:18,452 --> 00:00:20,354
This guy's a Marine.
11
00:00:20,388 --> 00:00:21,422
Or at least he was
12
00:00:21,455 --> 00:00:23,257
before he deployed himself
through his windshield.
13
00:00:23,291 --> 00:00:24,458
So what do I say to her?
14
00:00:24,492 --> 00:00:26,227
I don't know.
What do I look like,
15
00:00:26,260 --> 00:00:27,461
the Cyrano de
what's-his-face guy?
16
00:00:27,495 --> 00:00:28,462
Go with your gut.
17
00:00:28,496 --> 00:00:30,398
You got the release?
18
00:00:30,431 --> 00:00:32,466
No, didn't you get it?
19
00:00:32,500 --> 00:00:33,601
You know what?
On second thought,
20
00:00:33,634 --> 00:00:35,336
maybe you better not
go with your gut.
21
00:00:40,141 --> 00:00:41,375
( starter grinding )
22
00:00:41,409 --> 00:00:42,710
So where should I take her?
23
00:00:42,743 --> 00:00:44,512
I'm gonna start charging you
for advice, you know?
24
00:00:45,546 --> 00:00:47,081
( chuckles )
25
00:00:47,115 --> 00:00:48,082
( engine starts )
26
00:00:48,116 --> 00:00:49,817
Oh, there she is.
27
00:00:53,154 --> 00:00:55,456
( sniffs )
28
00:00:55,489 --> 00:00:56,390
You smell that?
29
00:00:56,424 --> 00:00:58,426
Gas.
30
00:01:03,464 --> 00:01:05,133
Oh, no.
31
00:01:05,133 --> 00:01:06,467
Get out.
32
00:01:06,500 --> 00:01:07,468
Get out, get
out, get out!
33
00:01:07,501 --> 00:01:08,469
Go, go, go!
34
00:01:20,381 --> 00:01:23,817
Captioning sponsored by
PARAMOUNT TELEVISION
35
00:01:23,851 --> 00:01:27,788
and CBS
36
00:02:05,359 --> 00:02:07,261
( typing )
37
00:02:07,295 --> 00:02:08,362
( beep )
38
00:02:09,497 --> 00:02:10,464
( beep )
39
00:02:10,498 --> 00:02:14,802
( typing )
40
00:02:14,835 --> 00:02:16,770
( beep )
What are you doing?
41
00:02:16,804 --> 00:02:20,208
I'm in the middle
of a very serious negotiation.
42
00:02:20,208 --> 00:02:22,510
On McGee's computer?
43
00:02:22,543 --> 00:02:23,944
I know where
you're going with this.
44
00:02:23,977 --> 00:02:26,214
And the answer is yes.
45
00:02:26,214 --> 00:02:27,815
And what's the question?
46
00:02:29,583 --> 00:02:32,320
Have I no shame?
47
00:02:32,353 --> 00:02:34,555
Who are you IMing?
48
00:02:34,588 --> 00:02:36,457
( gasps )
Agent Larson?
49
00:02:36,490 --> 00:02:37,791
( beep )
50
00:02:40,728 --> 00:02:42,230
And she thinks you're McGee?
51
00:02:42,230 --> 00:02:43,697
( beep )
52
00:02:43,731 --> 00:02:45,399
( laughing )
53
00:02:45,433 --> 00:02:48,236
And this is because
she warned you
54
00:02:48,269 --> 00:02:50,571
that if you spoke to her again,
she would have you brought up
55
00:02:50,604 --> 00:02:51,772
on sexual
harassment charges.
56
00:02:51,805 --> 00:02:53,241
That was a misunderstanding.
57
00:02:53,241 --> 00:02:54,275
Oh, so now you're
58
00:02:54,308 --> 00:02:55,243
correcting the record.
59
00:02:55,243 --> 00:02:56,877
I'm just trying
to let her know that I...
60
00:02:56,910 --> 00:03:00,748
McGee feels that she may have
misjudged me, and...
61
00:03:00,781 --> 00:03:03,484
that as a close,
personal friend, I can...
62
00:03:03,517 --> 00:03:05,986
"Vouch for Tony's
strength of character."
63
00:03:06,019 --> 00:03:06,987
( chuckles )
64
00:03:07,020 --> 00:03:08,556
( beep )
65
00:03:08,589 --> 00:03:10,358
( laughing )
66
00:03:10,391 --> 00:03:11,725
I don't have much time.
67
00:03:11,759 --> 00:03:12,960
She's being reassigned
in two days.
68
00:03:12,993 --> 00:03:15,563
Yeah, well, you'll be
reassigned if Gibbs
catches you.
69
00:03:15,596 --> 00:03:16,597
Doing what?
70
00:03:16,630 --> 00:03:17,665
ZIVA:
Uh, we were looking
71
00:03:17,698 --> 00:03:19,800
at McGee's bookmarks,
trying to get an idea for a...
72
00:03:19,833 --> 00:03:21,669
TONY:
Birthday present.
73
00:03:21,702 --> 00:03:22,670
Morning.
74
00:03:22,703 --> 00:03:24,372
Happy birthday, Probie.
75
00:03:24,405 --> 00:03:25,606
It's a bagel.
76
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,441
Um, not my birthday.
77
00:03:27,475 --> 00:03:28,476
Grab your gear.
78
00:03:28,509 --> 00:03:29,777
Medical transport just exploded.
79
00:03:29,810 --> 00:03:31,479
( kisses )
80
00:03:36,817 --> 00:03:38,652
Any day now, Probie.
81
00:03:38,686 --> 00:03:40,521
Yep, sorry.
82
00:03:45,526 --> 00:03:46,727
Hi.
83
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,030
I just got the
strangest IM.
84
00:03:50,063 --> 00:03:51,832
( elevator dings )
85
00:03:51,865 --> 00:03:53,501
( camera clicking )
86
00:03:53,534 --> 00:03:55,769
TONY:
She asked you out?
87
00:03:55,803 --> 00:03:56,770
You?
88
00:03:56,804 --> 00:03:58,739
Trust me, I'm just as
surprised as you are.
89
00:03:58,772 --> 00:04:00,541
Trust me, you're not.
90
00:04:00,574 --> 00:04:02,543
Blast radius indicates
a low-yield detonation.
91
00:04:02,576 --> 00:04:04,945
She say why?
92
00:04:04,978 --> 00:04:06,046
( camera clicking )
93
00:04:06,079 --> 00:04:08,048
Uh...
94
00:04:08,081 --> 00:04:11,419
it said that she liked the
loyalty I showed my coworkers.
95
00:04:11,452 --> 00:04:13,387
ZIVA:
Pyrolysis on the pavement
96
00:04:13,421 --> 00:04:15,055
suggests O2
was the primary accelerant.
97
00:04:15,088 --> 00:04:17,057
Even if they
were total scum.
98
00:04:17,090 --> 00:04:18,459
No idea what she
was referring to.
99
00:04:18,492 --> 00:04:19,593
I'll tell you, though,
100
00:04:19,627 --> 00:04:21,629
did not realize she was paying
so much attention to me.
101
00:04:21,662 --> 00:04:24,465
You want to tell the
Probie or should I?
102
00:04:24,498 --> 00:04:26,334
ZIVA:
How about neither?
103
00:04:26,334 --> 00:04:28,569
Why don't you
just focus on the work?
104
00:04:28,602 --> 00:04:29,770
Yeah, I've noticed
you've morphed
105
00:04:29,803 --> 00:04:31,505
into quite the
forensic expert.
106
00:04:31,539 --> 00:04:32,773
I'm Israeli.
107
00:04:32,806 --> 00:04:35,409
This isn't my first
exploding ambulance.
108
00:04:35,443 --> 00:04:37,711
We left the van unattended for
four, maybe five minutes tops.
109
00:04:37,745 --> 00:04:39,413
As soon as Patto
hit the brakes...
110
00:04:39,447 --> 00:04:41,415
The whole thing
exploded into flames.
111
00:04:41,449 --> 00:04:42,616
I think someone's
trying to kill us.
112
00:04:42,650 --> 00:04:43,817
Would you please
stop that, J.B.?
113
00:04:43,851 --> 00:04:45,419
It was, it was an accident.
114
00:04:45,453 --> 00:04:46,987
Who's trying to kill you?
115
00:04:47,020 --> 00:04:47,855
Who knows?
116
00:04:47,888 --> 00:04:49,457
There's a lot of weirdoes
out there.
117
00:04:49,490 --> 00:04:52,760
Tell me about it.
118
00:04:52,793 --> 00:04:54,962
Talk to me, Duck.
119
00:04:54,995 --> 00:04:56,964
Lance Corporal
William Danforth, Jr.
120
00:04:56,997 --> 00:04:59,500
Survived IEDs in Iraq,
121
00:04:59,533 --> 00:05:00,701
RPGs in Afghanistan.
122
00:05:00,734 --> 00:05:02,603
Unfortunately, the local
123
00:05:02,636 --> 00:05:06,507
Odocoileus virginianus
was too much to bear.
124
00:05:06,540 --> 00:05:07,708
That's a white-tailed...
125
00:05:07,741 --> 00:05:08,709
GIBBS:
Deer.
126
00:05:08,742 --> 00:05:10,744
Yeah, I know.
127
00:05:10,778 --> 00:05:12,112
You saying Bambi killed
this Marine, Ducky?
128
00:05:12,145 --> 00:05:13,381
No.
129
00:05:13,414 --> 00:05:16,517
But swerving at 60 miles an hour
into a tree to avoid Bambi did.
130
00:05:16,550 --> 00:05:19,086
His girlfriend
is still in a coma
131
00:05:19,119 --> 00:05:20,854
at the hospital.
132
00:05:20,888 --> 00:05:21,722
DUCKY:
Danforth was DOA
133
00:05:21,755 --> 00:05:23,524
when they brought
him in last night.
134
00:05:23,557 --> 00:05:24,458
This morning, he was
135
00:05:24,492 --> 00:05:26,994
on his way to Bethesda
for a routine autopsy
136
00:05:27,027 --> 00:05:28,762
when fate intervened.
137
00:05:28,796 --> 00:05:30,564
Fate?
138
00:05:30,598 --> 00:05:32,700
The scorching of the
body is consistent
139
00:05:32,733 --> 00:05:35,903
with a gasoline fire
accelerated by onboard oxygen.
140
00:05:35,936 --> 00:05:39,607
This could have been
an accident, Jethro.
141
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,842
Lucky for those
two to get out.
142
00:05:41,875 --> 00:05:42,843
Yeah.
143
00:05:42,876 --> 00:05:45,646
Lucky in a way I don't like.
144
00:05:45,679 --> 00:05:47,748
* Good morning, good morning
145
00:05:47,781 --> 00:05:50,117
Morning.
146
00:05:50,150 --> 00:05:51,585
* Good...
147
00:05:51,619 --> 00:05:54,422
* Good morning to you
148
00:05:54,422 --> 00:05:56,657
* You, you, you
149
00:05:56,690 --> 00:05:57,891
( chuckles )
150
00:05:57,925 --> 00:05:58,592
* Good...
151
00:05:58,626 --> 00:06:00,428
( musical ringtone )
152
00:06:00,428 --> 00:06:02,563
Ooh, what's that?
153
00:06:02,596 --> 00:06:03,631
Looks like an iPod.
154
00:06:04,765 --> 00:06:05,733
iPod photo.
155
00:06:05,766 --> 00:06:07,100
Anyone who might have
156
00:06:07,134 --> 00:06:09,903
possibly had a motive
to try to kill them...
Either has an alibi
157
00:06:09,937 --> 00:06:11,739
or is out of town.
Way ahead of you.
158
00:06:11,772 --> 00:06:13,674
You could have told me
and saved me the trouble.
159
00:06:13,707 --> 00:06:15,643
Just say you need the practice
and leave it at that.
160
00:06:15,676 --> 00:06:16,944
What kind
of music
161
00:06:16,977 --> 00:06:19,813
does the McGee listen to?
162
00:06:19,847 --> 00:06:22,816
Ooh, Barry Manilow?
163
00:06:22,850 --> 00:06:24,051
Julie Andrews?
164
00:06:24,084 --> 00:06:26,754
Zamfir?
165
00:06:26,787 --> 00:06:27,955
Let's go to photos.
166
00:06:27,988 --> 00:06:29,657
What are you doing?
167
00:06:29,690 --> 00:06:31,525
Well, McGee had a date
168
00:06:31,559 --> 00:06:33,126
with Agent Larson last night.
169
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,696
Didn't return
any of my e-mails
170
00:06:35,729 --> 00:06:37,831
about a sit-rep.
171
00:06:37,865 --> 00:06:38,966
Maybe he took some photos.
172
00:06:38,999 --> 00:06:41,835
Those are his
private photos.
173
00:06:41,869 --> 00:06:44,505
Well, he left them
on his public desk.
174
00:06:44,538 --> 00:06:46,039
Whoa.
Where's the clicker?
175
00:06:48,175 --> 00:06:50,544
( beeps )
176
00:06:50,578 --> 00:06:51,845
Who is this?
177
00:06:51,879 --> 00:06:53,947
Well, it's definitely
not Agent Larson.
178
00:06:53,981 --> 00:06:55,215
TONY:
Got to be his sister.
179
00:06:55,248 --> 00:06:56,784
Why?
180
00:06:56,817 --> 00:06:57,918
You kidding?
181
00:06:57,951 --> 00:06:59,953
This girl's way out
of McGeek's league.
182
00:06:59,987 --> 00:07:02,823
I don't think the drivers
were the target, Tony.
183
00:07:02,856 --> 00:07:04,492
Um, I actually think
it was the body.
184
00:07:04,492 --> 00:07:05,659
Why blow up a dead guy?
185
00:07:05,693 --> 00:07:07,495
Put it back up there.
186
00:07:07,495 --> 00:07:08,929
Put what back?
187
00:07:09,963 --> 00:07:11,599
( beep )
188
00:07:11,632 --> 00:07:13,801
McGee's got good taste.
189
00:07:13,834 --> 00:07:16,003
Going for coffee.
190
00:07:16,036 --> 00:07:18,672
Ow! What was that for?!
191
00:07:18,706 --> 00:07:19,607
Alerting DiNozzo.
192
00:07:22,876 --> 00:07:24,244
( muttering )
193
00:07:24,277 --> 00:07:26,146
ABBY:
The fuel line
to the gas tank cap
194
00:07:26,179 --> 00:07:29,983
is ruptured here--
195
00:07:30,017 --> 00:07:33,153
torn by a loose bolt on
the differential housing.
196
00:07:33,186 --> 00:07:34,221
Loosened how?
Unknown.
197
00:07:34,254 --> 00:07:37,791
The van also had a short
in the electrical system,
198
00:07:37,825 --> 00:07:39,126
coincidentally,
in the taillight
199
00:07:39,159 --> 00:07:41,895
right by our
ruptured fuel line.
200
00:07:41,929 --> 00:07:44,264
You know how I feel
about coincidences, Abs.
201
00:07:44,297 --> 00:07:46,734
Equatorial pygmies know how you
feel about coincidences, Gibbs.
202
00:07:46,767 --> 00:07:49,136
So one would wonder:
203
00:07:49,169 --> 00:07:50,137
accident or not
an accident?
204
00:07:50,170 --> 00:07:51,104
That is the question.
205
00:07:51,138 --> 00:07:53,106
Our first player:
206
00:07:53,140 --> 00:07:55,075
an innocent
differential housing bolt
207
00:07:55,108 --> 00:07:57,277
that is rubbing and straining
on the molecular bonds
208
00:07:57,310 --> 00:07:59,547
of our vulcanized fuel line,
209
00:07:59,580 --> 00:08:00,914
until, after eons,
210
00:08:00,948 --> 00:08:02,883
our hapless hose
finally ruptures.
211
00:08:02,916 --> 00:08:04,718
The gas moves quickly
into the floorboard
212
00:08:04,752 --> 00:08:05,919
of the van
213
00:08:05,953 --> 00:08:07,020
when it's in motion.
214
00:08:07,054 --> 00:08:08,288
The driver smells it.
215
00:08:08,321 --> 00:08:09,590
What could it be?
216
00:08:09,623 --> 00:08:10,791
He hits the brakes,
217
00:08:10,824 --> 00:08:12,626
and the short
in the taillight
218
00:08:12,660 --> 00:08:14,027
ignites the pooling gas vapors.
219
00:08:14,061 --> 00:08:15,295
The flames
quickly superheat
220
00:08:15,328 --> 00:08:16,997
the onboard O2.
221
00:08:17,030 --> 00:08:17,998
And when the canisters
222
00:08:18,031 --> 00:08:20,133
can no longer contain
the growing pressure,
223
00:08:20,167 --> 00:08:21,201
kaboom!
224
00:08:21,234 --> 00:08:22,603
Not an accident.
225
00:08:22,636 --> 00:08:24,638
Not unless the
Angel of Death
226
00:08:24,672 --> 00:08:26,740
is going through a
Rube Goldberg stage.
227
00:08:26,774 --> 00:08:28,108
Boss, we found remnants
228
00:08:28,141 --> 00:08:30,978
of what may have been the
trigger on an O2 canister.
229
00:08:31,011 --> 00:08:31,912
May have been, McGee?
230
00:08:31,945 --> 00:08:34,114
There were traces
of mercury fulminate,
231
00:08:34,147 --> 00:08:35,883
sodium azide and tetryl
on the material.
232
00:08:35,916 --> 00:08:36,784
Blasting cap.
233
00:08:36,817 --> 00:08:38,619
O2 would have never
blown on its own.
234
00:08:38,652 --> 00:08:39,620
Fire wasn't hot enough.
235
00:08:39,653 --> 00:08:40,688
The perp rigged the transport
236
00:08:40,721 --> 00:08:42,022
to make it look
like an accident.
237
00:08:42,055 --> 00:08:43,891
MCGEE:
Might have gotten away with it
238
00:08:43,924 --> 00:08:45,125
if he had detonated
it sooner.
239
00:08:45,158 --> 00:08:46,960
Fire dispersed pieces
of the trigger.
240
00:08:48,729 --> 00:08:51,799
He waited for the
drivers to get out.
241
00:08:51,832 --> 00:08:52,966
So he's not a murderer.
242
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,035
Well, uh, at least
243
00:08:55,068 --> 00:08:57,037
he wasn't trying to kill
the ambulance drivers.
244
00:08:57,070 --> 00:08:58,338
Trace it.
245
00:08:58,371 --> 00:09:00,273
Gibbs, this is
a garden-variety
246
00:09:00,307 --> 00:09:02,075
laminated paper substrate.
247
00:09:02,109 --> 00:09:04,311
It's used as a cheap shielding
in thousands
248
00:09:04,344 --> 00:09:05,312
of electronic devices.
249
00:09:05,345 --> 00:09:07,014
Yeah, so?
250
00:09:07,047 --> 00:09:08,682
So, maybe I should
251
00:09:08,716 --> 00:09:10,017
get back to work.
252
00:09:10,050 --> 00:09:12,052
Did we get a positive
match on our Marine's DNA?
253
00:09:12,085 --> 00:09:13,954
You know, I've been
a little busy here, Gibbs,
254
00:09:13,987 --> 00:09:15,623
with all the rubbing
255
00:09:15,656 --> 00:09:19,026
and the looking
and the analyzing and the...
256
00:09:19,059 --> 00:09:21,228
I should mention
that Ducky's taking care of it.
257
00:09:21,261 --> 00:09:22,863
( beep )
258
00:09:22,896 --> 00:09:23,931
( ding )
259
00:09:23,964 --> 00:09:25,799
DUCKY:
I haven't seen a body
260
00:09:25,833 --> 00:09:29,302
this badly burned since
the Bertram Mills' circus.
261
00:09:29,336 --> 00:09:31,104
Specimen jar.
262
00:09:31,138 --> 00:09:33,140
Mr. Palmer?
263
00:09:33,173 --> 00:09:35,709
Sorry, Doctor.
264
00:09:35,743 --> 00:09:37,678
Just having a problem
with the smell today.
265
00:09:37,711 --> 00:09:39,279
Really?
266
00:09:39,312 --> 00:09:42,115
I think he smells like
my mother's fried chicken.
267
00:09:42,149 --> 00:09:44,384
Yeah, that would be
the problem.
268
00:09:44,417 --> 00:09:47,054
Oh, I see.
269
00:09:47,087 --> 00:09:48,956
Well, the vegetarian lifestyle
270
00:09:48,989 --> 00:09:52,192
has been medically proven to
be the healthiest of choices.
271
00:09:52,225 --> 00:09:55,362
Perhaps it's time
you made the jump.
272
00:09:55,395 --> 00:09:57,765
GIBBS:
You wanted to see me, Duck?
273
00:09:57,798 --> 00:10:00,133
Well, actually,
yes, Jethro.
274
00:10:00,167 --> 00:10:02,736
Then why do you look
surprised to see me?
275
00:10:02,770 --> 00:10:05,305
Because I haven't told you
that I wanted to see you.
276
00:10:05,338 --> 00:10:07,675
Yes, well.
277
00:10:07,708 --> 00:10:10,010
Our latest houseguest
278
00:10:10,043 --> 00:10:13,113
has thrown us quite
the little mystery.
279
00:10:13,146 --> 00:10:14,648
Define "mystery".
280
00:10:14,682 --> 00:10:17,918
DUCKY:
Yeah, well, the young lad's
death certificate
281
00:10:17,951 --> 00:10:21,321
lists blunt-force thoracic
trauma as the cause of death.
282
00:10:21,354 --> 00:10:24,224
Typical in motor
vehicle accidents.
283
00:10:24,257 --> 00:10:26,694
But I've only partially
been able to verify that,
284
00:10:26,727 --> 00:10:30,163
since, as you can see,
285
00:10:30,197 --> 00:10:32,065
the postmortem damage
is extensive.
286
00:10:32,099 --> 00:10:33,400
Ducky.
Yes?
287
00:10:33,433 --> 00:10:35,035
Mystery.
288
00:10:35,068 --> 00:10:36,136
Ah, of course.
289
00:10:36,169 --> 00:10:37,137
Well, you know
me, Jethro.
290
00:10:37,170 --> 00:10:40,140
I attempted to make an
identification myself.
291
00:10:42,175 --> 00:10:44,712
The blast destroyed his jaw
292
00:10:44,745 --> 00:10:46,279
and shattered his teeth.
293
00:10:46,313 --> 00:10:48,348
It would take
an inordinate amount of time
294
00:10:48,381 --> 00:10:52,820
to get an identification
from dental records.
295
00:10:52,853 --> 00:10:56,123
Also, the fire
so degraded his DNA
296
00:10:56,156 --> 00:10:59,927
that, you know, I spent the
better part of yesterday
297
00:10:59,960 --> 00:11:01,061
scouring his body.
298
00:11:01,094 --> 00:11:02,095
Mystery.
299
00:11:02,129 --> 00:11:03,263
Uh, almost there.
300
00:11:03,296 --> 00:11:06,233
By a stroke of luck,
301
00:11:06,266 --> 00:11:08,101
I found a piece of tissue
302
00:11:08,135 --> 00:11:12,205
viable enough
to send to have run
303
00:11:12,239 --> 00:11:14,975
against Danforth's DNA
304
00:11:15,008 --> 00:11:17,144
at the Armed
Forces Repository.
305
00:11:19,479 --> 00:11:22,950
This isn't William Danforth, Jr.
306
00:11:22,983 --> 00:11:25,385
Uh-uh.
307
00:11:25,418 --> 00:11:26,386
Then who is this?
308
00:11:26,419 --> 00:11:29,089
That, my dear Jethro,
309
00:11:29,122 --> 00:11:31,424
is the mystery.
310
00:11:39,032 --> 00:11:43,436
Lance Corporal Danforth's pro
and cons were Five-Oh Five-Oh.
311
00:11:43,470 --> 00:11:44,504
A real
312
00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:46,039
squirreled-away
Marine.
313
00:11:46,073 --> 00:11:47,440
So, what'd you
find, Tony?
314
00:11:47,474 --> 00:11:49,409
Tony!
315
00:11:49,442 --> 00:11:50,844
Huh?
316
00:11:50,878 --> 00:11:52,045
Zamfir.
317
00:11:52,079 --> 00:11:53,180
He's the Master
318
00:11:53,213 --> 00:11:54,782
of the Pan Flute.
319
00:11:54,815 --> 00:11:56,049
It's helping
me think.
320
00:11:56,083 --> 00:11:57,217
What are you thinking?
321
00:11:57,250 --> 00:11:58,418
I'm thinking
322
00:11:58,451 --> 00:12:00,788
that there are a lot of reasons
for post-mortem mutilation
323
00:12:00,788 --> 00:12:03,924
you're overlooking, besides
hiding a suspicious
324
00:12:03,957 --> 00:12:05,092
cause of death.
325
00:12:05,125 --> 00:12:06,493
Such as?
326
00:12:06,526 --> 00:12:10,230
Such as, enraged acts
of violence, sadistic curiosity.
327
00:12:10,263 --> 00:12:12,399
Trying to hide the real identity
of the victim.
328
00:12:12,432 --> 00:12:13,901
That was the
next one on
my list.
329
00:12:13,934 --> 00:12:15,803
Is his identity
in question?
Yeah, it is now.
330
00:12:15,803 --> 00:12:17,370
Tony, get me a copy of that...
331
00:12:17,404 --> 00:12:19,306
The names of the cops who
processed Danforth's crime
332
00:12:19,339 --> 00:12:20,573
scene report.
Already on its way, boss.
333
00:12:20,607 --> 00:12:22,810
Ziva, take McGee and...
ZIVA:
Have a chat with the doctor
334
00:12:22,810 --> 00:12:25,145
who pronounced the body dead,
find out who made the I.D.
335
00:12:25,178 --> 00:12:27,214
Hey, you want me to go
and supervise that, boss?
336
00:12:27,247 --> 00:12:29,449
Actually, you know,
I'll stay here
337
00:12:29,482 --> 00:12:31,418
just in case you need me. Phew!
338
00:12:31,451 --> 00:12:33,153
Zamfir.
339
00:12:33,186 --> 00:12:34,421
Not-Not saying you need me.
340
00:12:34,454 --> 00:12:35,823
That's a bad word.
341
00:12:35,856 --> 00:12:37,524
Need's the wrong word.
342
00:12:37,557 --> 00:12:39,559
Oh, uh, the Director needs
to see you
343
00:12:39,592 --> 00:12:41,461
in her office ASAP.
344
00:12:55,342 --> 00:12:57,510
I was just going to tell
the Director you're here.
345
00:12:57,544 --> 00:12:58,879
Cynthia, did you know
346
00:12:58,912 --> 00:13:00,914
that when a Roman
emperor made
347
00:13:00,948 --> 00:13:03,851
a triumphal
march into Rome,
348
00:13:03,884 --> 00:13:05,385
he had a slave on
his chariot who...
349
00:13:05,418 --> 00:13:07,054
Who whispered,
"You're only human"
350
00:13:07,087 --> 00:13:09,022
into his ear.
Going in unannounced
351
00:13:09,056 --> 00:13:10,891
is whispering into her ear.
352
00:13:10,924 --> 00:13:12,559
So, you're the Director's slave?
353
00:13:18,899 --> 00:13:20,400
SHEPARD:
Cynthia is there
to direct
354
00:13:20,433 --> 00:13:22,602
traffic, Agent Gibbs.
355
00:13:22,635 --> 00:13:24,905
I'm just responding to
your ASAP, Director.
356
00:13:24,938 --> 00:13:27,107
This is
357
00:13:27,140 --> 00:13:30,077
Lance Corporal Danforth's
father, William.
358
00:13:30,110 --> 00:13:32,880
My sympathies, Mr. Danforth.
359
00:13:32,913 --> 00:13:34,281
Thank you, Agent Gibbs.
360
00:13:34,314 --> 00:13:36,249
SHEPARD:
The SecNav would like us
361
00:13:36,283 --> 00:13:38,118
to keep Mr. Danforth in the loop
362
00:13:38,151 --> 00:13:40,387
throughout the entire
investigation.
363
00:13:40,420 --> 00:13:42,389
More than usual?
364
00:13:42,422 --> 00:13:44,257
Yes.
365
00:13:44,291 --> 00:13:46,259
Gordo and I served together
366
00:13:46,293 --> 00:13:48,295
in Beirut, Agent Gibbs,
and quite frankly,
367
00:13:48,328 --> 00:13:49,629
I'm using that friendship.
368
00:13:49,662 --> 00:13:51,064
Wouldn't you?
369
00:13:51,098 --> 00:13:52,532
He would.
370
00:13:52,565 --> 00:13:54,634
Sixth or Eighth?
371
00:13:54,667 --> 00:13:57,170
Two-Six. Fox Company.
372
00:13:57,204 --> 00:14:00,507
One-One. Scout
Sniper Platoon.
373
00:14:00,540 --> 00:14:02,075
Beirut?
374
00:14:02,109 --> 00:14:04,611
Desert Storm.
375
00:14:04,644 --> 00:14:07,380
So, what can you tell me
about my son, Agent Gibbs?
376
00:14:07,414 --> 00:14:08,916
Jethro.
377
00:14:08,916 --> 00:14:11,618
Bill.
378
00:14:11,651 --> 00:14:14,922
Only what I read in the hospital
and police reports.
379
00:14:14,955 --> 00:14:16,056
Mr. Danforth has seen those.
380
00:14:16,089 --> 00:14:17,524
He's asking how his son's body
381
00:14:17,557 --> 00:14:18,591
was incinerated.
382
00:14:18,625 --> 00:14:20,060
It wasn't.
383
00:14:21,094 --> 00:14:23,030
AFIS couldn't match the body
384
00:14:23,063 --> 00:14:25,298
in autopsy with Lance Corporal
Danforth's DNA.
385
00:14:25,332 --> 00:14:27,334
SHEPARD:
You're saying
that it isn't
386
00:14:27,367 --> 00:14:29,136
Mr. Danforth's son?
387
00:14:29,169 --> 00:14:30,337
Not according to AFIS.
388
00:14:31,571 --> 00:14:33,406
Could there be a mistake?
389
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,042
One in nine million.
390
00:14:35,075 --> 00:14:36,977
Have Abby rerun the DNA.
Already on it, Director.
391
00:14:37,010 --> 00:14:40,080
Well, if it's not
Lance Corporal Danforth,
392
00:14:40,113 --> 00:14:41,214
who the hell is it?
393
00:14:41,248 --> 00:14:43,483
I'll let you know
when I find out.
394
00:14:43,516 --> 00:14:45,685
What should I
tell his mother?
395
00:14:45,718 --> 00:14:48,088
I wouldn't tell her anything
yet.
396
00:14:48,121 --> 00:14:50,057
Right.
397
00:14:51,959 --> 00:14:53,293
My numbers.
398
00:14:54,461 --> 00:14:55,562
Director Shepard,
I'll tell Gordo
399
00:14:55,595 --> 00:14:57,030
how cooperative
you've been.
400
00:14:57,064 --> 00:14:58,231
Least we could do.
401
00:14:58,265 --> 00:14:59,499
Hey, Bill?
402
00:15:02,102 --> 00:15:04,137
Did you identify
your son's body?
403
00:15:04,171 --> 00:15:06,673
No. The, um...
404
00:15:06,706 --> 00:15:08,575
police notified us
that he had died,
405
00:15:08,608 --> 00:15:10,710
said that his body
was being shipped to Bethesda.
406
00:15:10,743 --> 00:15:13,513
Do you think Billy
407
00:15:13,546 --> 00:15:15,082
could still be alive?
408
00:15:15,115 --> 00:15:17,617
I think the hospital
transported the wrong body.
409
00:15:24,157 --> 00:15:26,026
Bull.
410
00:15:26,059 --> 00:15:28,295
The Marine
from two nights ago, Danforth?
411
00:15:28,328 --> 00:15:30,030
Yeah, I remember him.
412
00:15:30,063 --> 00:15:31,331
Are you the one
who treated him?
413
00:15:31,364 --> 00:15:32,332
Treated? No.
414
00:15:32,365 --> 00:15:33,600
Unfortunately, all I did
415
00:15:33,633 --> 00:15:35,135
was pronounce him dead,
Agent McGee.
416
00:15:35,168 --> 00:15:37,170
It's hard to believe
it's the same kid.
417
00:15:37,204 --> 00:15:38,338
Why is that?
418
00:15:38,371 --> 00:15:39,472
He was a mess.
419
00:15:39,506 --> 00:15:41,108
Heavy contusions
to the cranium.
420
00:15:41,141 --> 00:15:42,542
Pronounced facial lacerations.
421
00:15:42,575 --> 00:15:44,211
Half his skull caved in.
422
00:15:44,244 --> 00:15:45,745
Who ID'd his body?
423
00:15:45,778 --> 00:15:48,381
A buddy gave us
the tentative I.D.
424
00:15:48,415 --> 00:15:50,383
And, uh, we also
pulled his license
from his wallet.
425
00:15:50,417 --> 00:15:51,451
His buddy have a name?
426
00:15:51,484 --> 00:15:54,621
I can do better than that.
He's in ICU room five.
427
00:15:54,654 --> 00:15:57,190
The police report didn't mention
anything about
428
00:15:57,224 --> 00:15:59,026
a third injured
party, Doctor.
429
00:15:59,059 --> 00:16:00,693
That's because he wasn't
injured, Officer David.
430
00:16:00,727 --> 00:16:03,296
He's visiting.
431
00:16:03,330 --> 00:16:05,732
MAN ( slightly stuttering ):
"Our souls are like
those orphans
432
00:16:05,765 --> 00:16:08,368
"whose unw-wedded
433
00:16:08,401 --> 00:16:11,471
"mothers die
in bearing them.
434
00:16:11,504 --> 00:16:14,207
"The secret of our
435
00:16:14,241 --> 00:16:15,475
p...pat..."
436
00:16:15,508 --> 00:16:18,745
"Paternity lies in their graves
and we must there to learn it."
437
00:16:18,778 --> 00:16:20,380
Herman Melville,
Moby Dick.
438
00:16:20,413 --> 00:16:22,515
Call me Ishmael.
439
00:16:22,549 --> 00:16:25,052
CORPORAL MERRILL:
It's her favorite book.
440
00:16:25,052 --> 00:16:26,786
Doctors said
it-it might help.
441
00:16:26,819 --> 00:16:28,288
It's helping
give me a headache.
442
00:16:28,321 --> 00:16:31,224
You're Rebecca's relatives?
443
00:16:31,258 --> 00:16:32,792
Uh, no. NCIS.
444
00:16:32,825 --> 00:16:35,095
Corporal Merrill, sir.
445
00:16:35,128 --> 00:16:37,430
Uh, at-at ease, Marine.
446
00:16:37,464 --> 00:16:39,366
We're only
here to ask you
447
00:16:39,399 --> 00:16:41,234
a few questions.
Oh, of course, sir.
448
00:16:41,268 --> 00:16:43,603
I-I mean, m-ma'am.
449
00:16:48,508 --> 00:16:50,143
Man, she doesn't like
being called ma'am.
450
00:16:50,177 --> 00:16:51,178
It's okay, though.
451
00:16:53,246 --> 00:16:58,085
This about Billy, Ma... Miss?
452
00:16:58,118 --> 00:17:00,620
If you mean
Lance Corporal Danforth, yes.
453
00:17:00,653 --> 00:17:02,755
We understand
that you ID'd his body.
454
00:17:02,789 --> 00:17:04,291
Tried to.
455
00:17:04,324 --> 00:17:06,126
Billy's face was all
456
00:17:06,159 --> 00:17:06,993
m-mashed up.
457
00:17:07,094 --> 00:17:10,130
ZIVA:
How did you
know it was him?
458
00:17:10,163 --> 00:17:12,099
Who else c-could it be?
459
00:17:12,099 --> 00:17:14,667
He was in his car
with Rebecca.
460
00:17:14,701 --> 00:17:16,736
Least he was
la-last time I saw him.
461
00:17:16,769 --> 00:17:17,837
ZIVA:
Which was?
462
00:17:17,870 --> 00:17:18,971
The night he was killed.
463
00:17:19,005 --> 00:17:21,541
WOMAN ( over intercom ):
Dr. Noel, page...
464
00:17:21,574 --> 00:17:22,842
Uh, feel free
to elaborate.
465
00:17:22,875 --> 00:17:24,577
Huh?
466
00:17:24,611 --> 00:17:25,678
Tell us about the night.
467
00:17:25,712 --> 00:17:27,514
MERRILL:
Uh, Billy
468
00:17:27,547 --> 00:17:29,849
had just landed stateside
469
00:17:29,882 --> 00:17:32,419
after his second tour
in Iraq, so,
470
00:17:32,452 --> 00:17:36,256
me, him and, uh, Rebecca,
Billy's girlfriend--
471
00:17:36,289 --> 00:17:39,326
we were out celebrating
at-at the Gold Monkey.
472
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:40,527
Celebrating,
meaning drinking.
473
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:41,461
Not me, sir.
474
00:17:41,494 --> 00:17:44,297
Billy was, even though
he shouldn't 'cause...
475
00:17:45,332 --> 00:17:47,167
He-He just shouldn't.
476
00:17:49,336 --> 00:17:52,372
I made Rebecca
drive him home, 'cause
477
00:17:52,405 --> 00:17:54,807
he-he... he looked pretty bad,
478
00:17:54,841 --> 00:17:57,877
like he was gonna puke
or something.
479
00:17:57,910 --> 00:18:00,547
You're a good friend.
480
00:18:00,580 --> 00:18:04,717
M-Me and Billy b-been buds
since we was this big.
481
00:18:04,751 --> 00:18:07,820
He was the only one who never
made fun of my stutter.
482
00:18:07,854 --> 00:18:11,158
You saw Lance Corporal Danforth
get into the car?
483
00:18:11,158 --> 00:18:12,459
I put him in it.
484
00:18:12,492 --> 00:18:15,862
Like I said,
he was p... pretty drunk.
485
00:18:15,895 --> 00:18:19,632
I went back
inside the bar for maybe
486
00:18:19,666 --> 00:18:21,201
half an hour?
487
00:18:21,234 --> 00:18:22,869
When I left, I...
488
00:18:22,902 --> 00:18:25,905
p-p... passed the a-accident
489
00:18:25,938 --> 00:18:28,741
on my way home.
490
00:18:28,775 --> 00:18:30,243
Uh, cops were already there.
491
00:18:30,277 --> 00:18:32,645
Said Billy's car hit
a d... dee...
492
00:18:32,679 --> 00:18:34,281
It's okay, Corporal.
493
00:18:34,314 --> 00:18:36,216
We read the police report.
494
00:18:36,249 --> 00:18:39,186
He was just lying there,
all b...
495
00:18:39,186 --> 00:18:41,854
uh, broken and be-bent up.
496
00:18:41,888 --> 00:18:43,890
They were trying to,
uh, uh...
497
00:18:43,923 --> 00:18:45,592
save him,
498
00:18:45,625 --> 00:18:46,793
but I knew.
499
00:18:46,826 --> 00:18:48,761
I-I just...
I knew he was, uh...
500
00:18:48,795 --> 00:18:53,200
Doctor said he probably
didn't feel anything.
501
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:54,301
( sniffles and exhales )
502
00:18:54,334 --> 00:18:56,503
Think he was telling the truth,
503
00:18:56,536 --> 00:18:58,738
or just tryin'-tryin'
to make me feel better?
504
00:18:58,771 --> 00:19:01,908
Doctors do that, don't they?
505
00:19:03,976 --> 00:19:06,779
Well, in my experiences,
506
00:19:06,813 --> 00:19:10,283
E.R. doctors-- they usually
tell it like it is.
507
00:19:10,317 --> 00:19:12,385
( sighs )
508
00:19:16,789 --> 00:19:19,226
You got a favorite
movie, huh? Got a
favorite movie?
509
00:19:19,226 --> 00:19:22,362
( all shouting )
510
00:19:23,963 --> 00:19:27,534
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
511
00:19:27,567 --> 00:19:28,668
Who's your Daddy now?
512
00:19:28,701 --> 00:19:29,669
Oh!
513
00:19:37,410 --> 00:19:40,913
Are you having fun, DiNozzo?
514
00:19:40,947 --> 00:19:43,650
Ah. All done interviewing
Danforth's C.O.?
515
00:19:43,683 --> 00:19:45,518
You done interviewing
his platoon?
516
00:19:45,552 --> 00:19:48,255
Nothing builds rapport
like a good game of ball.
517
00:19:49,289 --> 00:19:50,790
( groans )
518
00:19:50,823 --> 00:19:53,660
* That's the name
of the game... *
519
00:19:53,693 --> 00:19:54,927
Thanks, guys.
520
00:19:54,961 --> 00:19:56,963
Yeah, laid him out...
521
00:19:58,298 --> 00:20:00,633
The guys said Danforth
was a top Marine,
522
00:20:00,667 --> 00:20:03,470
but the word is, he
only joined 'cause his
father was a Marine.
523
00:20:03,503 --> 00:20:04,637
Aah! Ooh!
524
00:20:04,671 --> 00:20:06,339
Little looser, please.
525
00:20:06,373 --> 00:20:09,376
My toes have gotten
used to the whole, uh,
526
00:20:09,409 --> 00:20:10,977
blood thing,
circulation.
527
00:20:11,010 --> 00:20:13,280
DiNozzo.
528
00:20:13,313 --> 00:20:15,615
Word also is that,
uh, he was inseparable
529
00:20:15,648 --> 00:20:17,317
with another Marine,
a-a Corporal...
530
00:20:17,350 --> 00:20:18,885
Kenneth Merrill.
Yeah.
531
00:20:18,918 --> 00:20:20,987
He followed Danforth
into the Corps on
the buddy program.
532
00:20:21,020 --> 00:20:22,021
'Course he did.
The guy's
533
00:20:22,054 --> 00:20:24,691
as loyal as a Saint Bernard.
534
00:20:24,724 --> 00:20:26,659
Would you just focus, please?
535
00:20:26,693 --> 00:20:28,495
And I'm starting
to lose feeling in my pinky toe.
536
00:20:28,528 --> 00:20:29,996
Does that look right?
Yeah.
537
00:20:30,029 --> 00:20:32,665
Apparently, he
was as loyal as
a Saint Bernard.
538
00:20:32,699 --> 00:20:35,502
According to his C.O.,
the Corps worked out
pretty well for him.
539
00:20:35,535 --> 00:20:37,704
Oh, yeah, he got into boxing,
got his first girlfriend,
540
00:20:37,737 --> 00:20:40,307
and get this-- turns out he had
a knack for disarming IEDs.
541
00:20:40,340 --> 00:20:42,275
His platoon called him the...
542
00:20:42,309 --> 00:20:44,544
Forrest Gump of explosives.
543
00:20:46,313 --> 00:20:48,615
I'm not trying
to do your job, am I?
544
00:20:51,651 --> 00:20:53,920
Put an ice pack on that.
15 on...
545
00:20:53,953 --> 00:20:55,422
15 off. Yeah, I know the drill.
546
00:20:55,455 --> 00:20:56,823
Thanks, Corpsman.
547
00:20:58,057 --> 00:20:59,025
Ooh, it's real swollen.
I don't think
548
00:20:59,058 --> 00:21:02,395
I'm going to be able
to walk on this thing, boss.
549
00:21:03,029 --> 00:21:04,431
Ha.
550
00:21:04,464 --> 00:21:05,632
Look at that.
551
00:21:05,665 --> 00:21:07,033
Look, it's a miracle.
552
00:21:07,066 --> 00:21:08,435
Yeah. Loyal as a
Saint Bernard.
553
00:21:08,468 --> 00:21:10,069
I always wanted
to get one of those
554
00:21:10,102 --> 00:21:12,004
until I found out
they didn't come with that
555
00:21:12,038 --> 00:21:14,807
barrel of whiskey
around their neck.
556
00:21:14,841 --> 00:21:17,076
You're wondering
557
00:21:17,109 --> 00:21:19,746
if Merrill helped his buddy
fake his own death
558
00:21:19,779 --> 00:21:21,047
to get out of the Corps?
559
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:22,048
No. I'm wondering
560
00:21:22,081 --> 00:21:25,017
who they got to
play the part of
the dead body.
561
00:21:32,659 --> 00:21:34,361
You really think
Lance Corporal Danforth
562
00:21:34,394 --> 00:21:35,595
faked his own death?
563
00:21:35,628 --> 00:21:36,929
You got a better theory?
564
00:21:36,963 --> 00:21:37,697
Actually, we do, Tony.
565
00:21:38,998 --> 00:21:41,368
I'd like to hear it,
Agent McGee.
566
00:21:41,401 --> 00:21:44,371
And yours as well,
Agent DiNozzo.
567
00:21:51,944 --> 00:21:53,913
Both preferably
568
00:21:53,946 --> 00:21:55,682
sometime today.
569
00:21:57,950 --> 00:21:59,919
We think Corporal Merrill
570
00:21:59,952 --> 00:22:02,489
may have killed
Danforth, Director.
571
00:22:02,522 --> 00:22:03,856
Why?
572
00:22:03,890 --> 00:22:05,792
Merrill
conveniently forgot
573
00:22:05,825 --> 00:22:07,560
to tell us
about the fight they had
574
00:22:07,594 --> 00:22:08,795
the night Danforth
was killed.
575
00:22:08,828 --> 00:22:10,397
A fight over what?
576
00:22:10,430 --> 00:22:11,831
Gibbs is not going
to like this.
577
00:22:11,864 --> 00:22:13,533
( Tony coughs )
578
00:22:13,566 --> 00:22:16,536
TONY:
It's a little upsetting.
579
00:22:16,569 --> 00:22:18,838
SHEPARD:
There a problem,
Agent McGee?
580
00:22:18,871 --> 00:22:20,707
Uh, no, no, ma'am.
581
00:22:21,741 --> 00:22:23,976
Merrill claims
that he was trying
582
00:22:24,010 --> 00:22:26,413
to stop him from drinking
and driving.
583
00:22:26,413 --> 00:22:27,980
According to
the bartender,
584
00:22:28,014 --> 00:22:30,717
they broke two tables
and a chair over it.
585
00:22:30,750 --> 00:22:32,885
Sounds like more than two
good friends fighting to me.
586
00:22:32,919 --> 00:22:33,820
ZIVA:
I agree.
587
00:22:33,853 --> 00:22:36,055
Merrill also passed
Danforth's accident
588
00:22:36,088 --> 00:22:36,889
on the way home.
589
00:22:36,923 --> 00:22:38,658
He could have easily
finished him off.
590
00:22:38,691 --> 00:22:40,993
Nope.
McGEE:
Merrill goes to hide the body.
591
00:22:41,027 --> 00:22:42,695
When he comes back to clean up,
592
00:22:42,729 --> 00:22:43,830
the cops are
already on scene.
593
00:22:43,863 --> 00:22:45,965
What about the other body?
594
00:22:46,999 --> 00:22:48,835
There was a third party
in the car.
595
00:22:48,868 --> 00:22:51,103
We only have
Corporal Merrill's word
596
00:22:51,137 --> 00:22:52,839
that the two of them drove off.
597
00:22:52,872 --> 00:22:55,141
TONY ( coughing ):
No way.
598
00:22:55,174 --> 00:22:57,109
( muffled ):
Wrong.
599
00:22:57,143 --> 00:22:59,546
Merrill shows up
at the hospital,
600
00:22:59,579 --> 00:23:01,714
confirms the false I.D.
601
00:23:01,748 --> 00:23:03,850
Then, later, goes back,
torches the ambulance
602
00:23:03,883 --> 00:23:05,552
before the real
I.D. can be made.
603
00:23:05,585 --> 00:23:06,819
No. Okay, I'm sorry.
604
00:23:06,853 --> 00:23:08,120
I got to interrupt.
605
00:23:08,154 --> 00:23:09,956
'Cause... ( chuckles )
606
00:23:09,989 --> 00:23:11,958
here's the thing. Um...
607
00:23:11,991 --> 00:23:13,893
I have a theory
that actually has motive
608
00:23:13,926 --> 00:23:16,095
which might be helpful.
609
00:23:16,128 --> 00:23:18,130
I don't meant to belittle
my colleagues efforts,
610
00:23:18,164 --> 00:23:20,467
but I am a senior field agent.
611
00:23:20,500 --> 00:23:21,868
Danforth didn't
hit a deer.
612
00:23:21,901 --> 00:23:23,002
He hit Ducky's John Doe.
613
00:23:23,035 --> 00:23:24,871
Stick with me here.
614
00:23:24,904 --> 00:23:26,172
He's drunk, right?
615
00:23:26,205 --> 00:23:28,475
Wasted, looking at
five to ten for manslaughter.
616
00:23:28,475 --> 00:23:30,510
So he switches
the John Doe
617
00:23:30,543 --> 00:23:33,112
with his body,
618
00:23:33,145 --> 00:23:35,515
then skips town, right?
619
00:23:35,548 --> 00:23:37,016
And then he has his buddy,
Corporal Merrill,
620
00:23:37,049 --> 00:23:38,751
come along
and torch the evidence.
621
00:23:38,785 --> 00:23:39,752
That's how
it happened.
622
00:23:39,786 --> 00:23:40,753
It's pretty simple.
623
00:23:40,787 --> 00:23:42,221
It's really just
detective work--
624
00:23:42,254 --> 00:23:44,957
connecting the dots...
625
00:23:44,991 --> 00:23:46,559
Hey, boss, I was just...
626
00:23:46,593 --> 00:23:47,960
The Director wanted...
she wanted...
627
00:23:47,994 --> 00:23:50,029
With me.
Okay.
628
00:24:11,951 --> 00:24:13,052
Dramatic.
629
00:24:15,021 --> 00:24:18,124
But duly noted, Agent Gibbs.
I get it.
630
00:24:25,698 --> 00:24:27,600
That wasn't the way
it looked, boss.
I know.
631
00:24:27,634 --> 00:24:29,969
The Director kind
of suckered me into that deal.
632
00:24:30,002 --> 00:24:32,271
Ziva caved first.
I didn't cave in.
633
00:24:32,304 --> 00:24:33,840
I was trying...
McGee next.
634
00:24:33,873 --> 00:24:34,807
It wasn't...
635
00:24:34,841 --> 00:24:37,944
And my loyal St. Bernard
held out till last.
636
00:24:37,977 --> 00:24:41,548
Well, I...
Probably all
of 30 seconds.
637
00:24:41,548 --> 00:24:43,750
So what is my team?
638
00:24:43,783 --> 00:24:45,117
Can I call you
my team?
639
00:24:45,151 --> 00:24:46,819
( all agreeing )
640
00:24:46,853 --> 00:24:48,154
What are you
going to do now?
641
00:24:48,187 --> 00:24:49,622
( all talking )
642
00:24:49,656 --> 00:24:51,123
To solve the case?!
643
00:24:51,157 --> 00:24:53,660
Tony, you impound...
Danforth's car.
644
00:24:53,693 --> 00:24:55,662
Have Abby see
if it hit anything
beside a tree.
645
00:24:55,695 --> 00:24:57,129
GIBBS:
Then you and McGee...
646
00:24:57,163 --> 00:24:58,565
Go to the original crash site.
647
00:24:58,565 --> 00:24:59,866
McGee, I want an agent
standing by
648
00:24:59,899 --> 00:25:01,000
Rebecca Crawford's room
to get...
649
00:25:01,033 --> 00:25:03,970
A statement. The second
she wakes up, boss. You got it.
650
00:25:04,003 --> 00:25:05,905
And I'm with you, yes?
651
00:25:05,938 --> 00:25:07,974
I don't know, Ziva.
652
00:25:08,007 --> 00:25:09,642
Are you?
653
00:25:09,676 --> 00:25:12,178
Definitely.
654
00:25:18,217 --> 00:25:22,589
MERRILL:
The improvised
explosive device, gentlemen.
655
00:25:22,622 --> 00:25:24,591
The weapon of choice
in Iraq
656
00:25:24,591 --> 00:25:26,192
and Afghanistan.
657
00:25:26,225 --> 00:25:27,026
The problem is spotting them
658
00:25:27,059 --> 00:25:28,928
when they look
something like this.
659
00:25:28,961 --> 00:25:31,764
Now these are just a few
of the IED configurations
660
00:25:31,798 --> 00:25:34,066
I encountered on
my last pump in Iraq.
661
00:25:34,100 --> 00:25:37,203
Today, I'm going to teach you
how to locate,
662
00:25:37,236 --> 00:25:39,271
disarm, or if need be,
663
00:25:39,305 --> 00:25:41,040
blow them all in place.
664
00:25:41,073 --> 00:25:44,143
Corporal, you've got it.
665
00:25:44,176 --> 00:25:45,845
Take it over.
They're yours.
666
00:25:45,878 --> 00:25:47,313
Gentlemen, you heard
Corporal Merrill.
667
00:25:47,346 --> 00:25:50,950
Give me a huddle.
668
00:25:50,983 --> 00:25:52,952
( stuttering ):
Can I... can I help you, sir?
669
00:25:52,985 --> 00:25:53,853
Did you know that lying
670
00:25:53,886 --> 00:25:55,688
to a federal investigator
is a crime?
671
00:25:55,722 --> 00:25:57,089
I didn't lie.
672
00:25:57,123 --> 00:25:59,859
What was the fight
in the Gold Monkey about?
673
00:25:59,892 --> 00:26:03,630
Billy was drunk, sir.
674
00:26:03,663 --> 00:26:05,632
I tried to take
his car keys away.
675
00:26:05,665 --> 00:26:08,134
He started swinging.
676
00:26:08,167 --> 00:26:10,903
I guess I didn't try
h-hard enough.
677
00:26:10,937 --> 00:26:13,372
You told me you placed him
inside the car.
678
00:26:13,405 --> 00:26:15,041
I did.
679
00:26:15,074 --> 00:26:18,044
Billy m-must have made
Becca pull over.
680
00:26:18,077 --> 00:26:20,179
I should have... have...
681
00:26:20,212 --> 00:26:24,283
You should have taken
him home yourself.
Yeah.
682
00:26:24,316 --> 00:26:26,085
Billy's dead,
683
00:26:26,118 --> 00:26:28,054
'cause of m... me.
684
00:26:28,087 --> 00:26:29,188
Are you sure he's dead?
685
00:26:30,857 --> 00:26:34,661
The burned body isn't
Lance Corporal Danforth.
686
00:26:38,297 --> 00:26:40,066
MCGEE:
Enough already. You
know I'm not the type
687
00:26:40,099 --> 00:26:41,067
to kiss and tell.
688
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:42,802
Kiss?
689
00:26:42,835 --> 00:26:45,004
I heard from
a reliable source
that you were out
690
00:26:45,037 --> 00:26:47,073
with Agent Larsen last night
until about 2:00 a.m.
691
00:26:47,106 --> 00:26:49,108
Who told you that?
692
00:26:49,141 --> 00:26:51,010
I have information
you want,
693
00:26:51,043 --> 00:26:53,946
you have information
I want.
694
00:26:53,980 --> 00:26:55,414
Shall we dance?
695
00:26:55,447 --> 00:26:57,684
Forget it.
696
00:26:57,717 --> 00:26:58,818
Real mean always
697
00:26:58,851 --> 00:27:00,019
kiss and tell.
698
00:27:01,954 --> 00:27:03,022
Okay, so what
699
00:27:03,055 --> 00:27:05,692
are we looking for that the cops
didn't already find?
700
00:27:05,725 --> 00:27:07,259
They thought it
was an accident.
701
00:27:07,293 --> 00:27:09,128
But they were not
using the honed eye
702
00:27:09,161 --> 00:27:11,931
of a highly trained
703
00:27:11,964 --> 00:27:14,333
federal agent.
704
00:27:16,302 --> 00:27:18,237
Probie, bring one
of those numbers.
705
00:27:29,148 --> 00:27:31,250
McGEE:
A prescription bottle
of ibuprofen.
706
00:27:31,283 --> 00:27:33,786
Grunt candy.
A marine's best friend.
707
00:27:33,820 --> 00:27:35,287
Must have been thrown
from Danforth's car.
708
00:27:35,321 --> 00:27:36,355
So?
709
00:27:36,388 --> 00:27:39,125
So, it belonged
to Corporal Merrill.
710
00:27:39,158 --> 00:27:41,027
And there's blood on it.
711
00:27:41,961 --> 00:27:43,162
Come on.
712
00:27:43,195 --> 00:27:44,731
Say it.
713
00:27:44,731 --> 00:27:45,798
Say what?
714
00:27:45,832 --> 00:27:48,134
"You were right, Tony."
715
00:27:48,167 --> 00:27:50,202
You'll be the bigger
woman for it.
716
00:27:50,236 --> 00:27:52,271
I'll just have
to content myself
717
00:27:52,304 --> 00:27:54,340
being the... well,
the righter one.
718
00:27:54,373 --> 00:27:55,942
Woman?
719
00:27:55,975 --> 00:27:57,376
You know what I mean.
720
00:27:57,409 --> 00:27:59,345
I found Merrill's scrip
at the scene,
721
00:27:59,378 --> 00:28:01,313
which means they were
in it together.
722
00:28:01,347 --> 00:28:03,249
( chuckles ):
And the DiNozzo
body swap theory
723
00:28:03,282 --> 00:28:06,218
takes the lead.
What if he dropped it
724
00:28:06,252 --> 00:28:07,286
while killing Danforth?
725
00:28:07,319 --> 00:28:08,154
Abby found Danforth's blood
726
00:28:08,187 --> 00:28:10,122
all over the windshield
and the hood.
727
00:28:10,156 --> 00:28:13,059
So much for your
body swap theory, Tony.
728
00:28:13,092 --> 00:28:14,961
I've seem more than
a few people
729
00:28:14,994 --> 00:28:17,163
survive the windshield
taste test, Ziva.
730
00:28:17,196 --> 00:28:18,430
Give it up, Tony.
You said Merrill
731
00:28:18,464 --> 00:28:19,431
was the Forrest Gump
of explosives.
732
00:28:19,465 --> 00:28:21,200
Who else had the equipment
733
00:28:21,233 --> 00:28:23,369
and expertise
to blow the up ambulance?
Ziva's right.
734
00:28:23,402 --> 00:28:25,237
Bring him in.
735
00:28:25,271 --> 00:28:27,006
Feeling pretty smug,
aren't you?
736
00:28:27,039 --> 00:28:28,941
Oh, yes,
737
00:28:28,975 --> 00:28:31,077
very.
738
00:28:35,214 --> 00:28:37,249
So what's bugging
739
00:28:37,283 --> 00:28:38,885
that famous gut now?
740
00:28:40,552 --> 00:28:42,989
Yes, you're that
easy to read.
741
00:28:43,022 --> 00:28:45,357
I learned how
742
00:28:45,391 --> 00:28:47,326
to speak "Gibbs"
a long time ago.
743
00:28:47,359 --> 00:28:50,262
You going to Abby's lab
or autopsy?
Abby's.
744
00:28:50,296 --> 00:28:52,098
Not to work my case.
745
00:28:52,131 --> 00:28:55,267
I have the right to dig in
to any NCIS investigation
746
00:28:55,301 --> 00:28:56,969
that I want to.
Not mine.
747
00:28:57,003 --> 00:29:00,907
Unless you want me
behind your desk again.
748
00:29:00,940 --> 00:29:03,943
Of course...
749
00:29:03,976 --> 00:29:06,545
you could just observe
and keep quiet.
750
00:29:06,578 --> 00:29:09,381
Fine.
751
00:29:11,283 --> 00:29:12,418
ABBY:
As you know, this is
752
00:29:12,451 --> 00:29:14,086
the only piece of
the trigger
753
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:15,421
that I found.
754
00:29:20,359 --> 00:29:22,128
I'm not really here.
755
00:29:22,161 --> 00:29:23,996
Do you know how long
I've been waiting
to cross over
756
00:29:24,030 --> 00:29:25,865
into an alternate
dimension?
Well, you're still here, Abs,
757
00:29:25,898 --> 00:29:27,033
for now.
758
00:29:27,066 --> 00:29:28,134
What is this?
759
00:29:28,167 --> 00:29:29,435
McGEE:
That's laminated paper
760
00:29:29,468 --> 00:29:30,903
substrate, boss,
761
00:29:30,937 --> 00:29:32,504
found in any number
of electronic devices.
762
00:29:32,538 --> 00:29:34,140
ABBY:
Unfortunately
I couldn't find
763
00:29:34,173 --> 00:29:36,208
a trace of a single one.
But then,
764
00:29:36,242 --> 00:29:39,378
I was surfing around
on my favorite
origami web ring
765
00:29:39,411 --> 00:29:40,913
and it hit me.
766
00:29:40,947 --> 00:29:43,449
Origami.
767
00:29:43,482 --> 00:29:45,384
The ancient art
of paper folding.
768
00:29:45,417 --> 00:29:46,886
Maybe the laminated substrate
769
00:29:46,919 --> 00:29:48,420
was the trigger.
770
00:29:48,454 --> 00:29:50,422
You telling me Merrill
folded himself a bomb?
771
00:29:50,456 --> 00:29:51,423
No, that's
impossible.
772
00:29:51,457 --> 00:29:53,125
It came pre-folded.
773
00:29:53,159 --> 00:29:54,260
See, several companies
have been exploring
774
00:29:54,293 --> 00:29:59,465
the use of paper circuit boards
for disposable products.
775
00:29:59,498 --> 00:30:02,001
Metallic ink is printed
on laminated paper
776
00:30:02,034 --> 00:30:03,903
and then folded
into the desired shape.
777
00:30:03,936 --> 00:30:05,437
I coated
our burned substrate
778
00:30:05,471 --> 00:30:07,339
with a metallic iron
particulate.
779
00:30:07,373 --> 00:30:09,241
Which would attach to
any residual metallic
ink still present.
780
00:30:09,275 --> 00:30:11,911
And then I ran
the whole thing
through an X-ray
781
00:30:11,944 --> 00:30:14,847
to pick up on
any latent patterns.
782
00:30:14,881 --> 00:30:17,316
Voila.
You're looking at
783
00:30:17,349 --> 00:30:20,352
a partial circuit board
for a disposable cell phone.
784
00:30:20,386 --> 00:30:21,854
Any chance
we can read the...?
785
00:30:23,622 --> 00:30:26,458
Any chance we can
read the...?
786
00:30:28,327 --> 00:30:29,962
Call log.
787
00:30:29,996 --> 00:30:31,463
Call logs.
788
00:30:31,497 --> 00:30:32,431
I'd have a better chance
789
00:30:32,464 --> 00:30:36,268
of getting McGee to wear
a Speedo to church.
790
00:30:36,302 --> 00:30:39,271
But I was able to pull a list
of all the incoming calls
791
00:30:39,305 --> 00:30:40,940
to the hospital cell zone.
792
00:30:40,973 --> 00:30:42,641
Only three came in
immediately prior
793
00:30:42,674 --> 00:30:43,910
to the explosion.
794
00:30:43,943 --> 00:30:45,912
One of them was
the triggering call--
795
00:30:45,945 --> 00:30:48,047
Corporal Kenneth Merrill.
796
00:30:52,384 --> 00:30:55,254
( medical equipment beeping )
797
00:30:59,926 --> 00:31:02,328
Appreciate you meeting
me, Bill.
Sure.
798
00:31:02,361 --> 00:31:03,362
How's she doing?
799
00:31:03,395 --> 00:31:05,331
She's stable.
Still in a coma.
800
00:31:05,364 --> 00:31:07,599
You waiting
to question her?
801
00:31:07,633 --> 00:31:11,670
Listen, the fire
wasn't an accident.
802
00:31:11,703 --> 00:31:13,505
How well do you know
803
00:31:13,539 --> 00:31:15,207
Corporal Kenneth Merrill?
804
00:31:15,241 --> 00:31:16,275
Kenny?
805
00:31:16,308 --> 00:31:18,410
He's like
a son to me.
806
00:31:18,444 --> 00:31:19,946
It wasn't an accident?
807
00:31:19,946 --> 00:31:22,281
No. The van was rigged
to explode.
808
00:31:22,314 --> 00:31:23,649
Because Kenny defused
IED's in Iraq,
809
00:31:23,682 --> 00:31:25,551
you think he had
something to do with this.
810
00:31:25,584 --> 00:31:27,419
No.
811
00:31:27,453 --> 00:31:29,421
Impossible.
812
00:31:29,455 --> 00:31:32,959
Her mother told me that Rebecca
used to be Kenny's girlfriend?
813
00:31:32,959 --> 00:31:34,426
When they were children.
814
00:31:34,460 --> 00:31:36,328
They've been best friends
since elementary school.
815
00:31:36,362 --> 00:31:37,429
The night of your son's
accident,
816
00:31:37,463 --> 00:31:39,398
he was also in a fight.
817
00:31:39,431 --> 00:31:43,302
My son liked to drink.
818
00:31:43,335 --> 00:31:45,404
Sometimes in excess.
819
00:31:45,437 --> 00:31:48,307
Kenny was just trying
to stop him from
driving home drunk.
820
00:31:48,340 --> 00:31:51,310
Kenny had nothing to do
with this, Jethro.
821
00:31:51,343 --> 00:31:56,415
It looks like the call
that triggered the fire
822
00:31:56,448 --> 00:31:58,084
came from Kenny's cell phone.
823
00:31:58,117 --> 00:32:00,419
What time was that?
824
00:32:00,452 --> 00:32:01,653
0900 about.
825
00:32:01,687 --> 00:32:03,189
No, it wasn't Kenny.
826
00:32:03,222 --> 00:32:05,524
He was with
my wife and I
827
00:32:05,557 --> 00:32:08,627
from... I don't know,
since... since before dawn
( phone ringing )
828
00:32:08,660 --> 00:32:10,462
up until at least noon.
829
00:32:10,496 --> 00:32:12,431
Yeah, Gibbs.
830
00:32:12,464 --> 00:32:14,700
TONY:
Hey, boss, Corporal Merrill
disappeared...
831
00:32:18,104 --> 00:32:19,571
Was that about
my son?
832
00:32:19,605 --> 00:32:21,740
No, Corporal Merrill.
833
00:32:21,773 --> 00:32:24,276
After I questioned him,
he walked out
834
00:32:24,310 --> 00:32:25,644
of the class he
was teaching...
835
00:32:25,677 --> 00:32:28,014
No one's seen him since.
836
00:32:42,294 --> 00:32:45,064
( clattering and clanking )
837
00:32:59,045 --> 00:32:59,478
Is that steak au poivre?
838
00:33:01,647 --> 00:33:03,682
And a frisee salad?
839
00:33:03,715 --> 00:33:04,750
Oh!
840
00:33:09,388 --> 00:33:12,391
You know, the last time
we had steak au poivre,
841
00:33:12,424 --> 00:33:14,326
six people died.
( cork pops )
842
00:33:16,428 --> 00:33:18,197
What is this meal
going to cost me?
843
00:33:18,230 --> 00:33:19,598
Can't a guy just sit down
844
00:33:19,631 --> 00:33:22,768
and have a bite
with his old partner?
845
00:33:22,801 --> 00:33:24,370
"Old partner?"
846
00:33:24,403 --> 00:33:26,638
Must be worse than I thought.
847
00:33:36,148 --> 00:33:38,117
How'd it go with Danforth
at the hospital today?
848
00:33:38,150 --> 00:33:39,218
It went okay...
849
00:33:39,251 --> 00:33:41,687
if you're corporal Merrill.
850
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,822
Danforth gave him an alibi
851
00:33:43,855 --> 00:33:45,791
for the day of the explosion.
852
00:33:47,759 --> 00:33:49,761
I assume you didn't believe him.
853
00:33:49,795 --> 00:33:53,365
Why is that?
854
00:33:53,399 --> 00:33:54,733
Because I wouldn't be eating
steak au poivre
855
00:33:54,766 --> 00:33:56,502
right now if you did.
856
00:33:59,438 --> 00:34:04,143
If Danforth's covering
for Merrill...
857
00:34:04,176 --> 00:34:07,113
he has to believe Merrill
didn't kill his son.
858
00:34:07,146 --> 00:34:09,115
And the only way he can
know that for sure is...
859
00:34:09,148 --> 00:34:10,582
...if the kid is still alive.
860
00:34:13,219 --> 00:34:16,288
But you don't believe that,
either.
861
00:34:18,524 --> 00:34:21,693
The alibi was B.S.
862
00:34:21,727 --> 00:34:23,229
The grief was real.
863
00:34:23,262 --> 00:34:26,465
You sure Danforth
wasn't playing you?
864
00:34:27,633 --> 00:34:29,501
Sorry.
865
00:34:29,535 --> 00:34:31,737
That still doesn't mean
the son's dead.
866
00:34:31,770 --> 00:34:34,606
There was an accident.
867
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,408
He could be hurt.
868
00:34:36,442 --> 00:34:37,776
Could be recovering
869
00:34:37,809 --> 00:34:38,977
in a private hospital
somewhere.
870
00:34:39,010 --> 00:34:41,547
Wouldn't be the first time
a parent with means used them
871
00:34:41,580 --> 00:34:43,882
to keep a child out of trouble.
872
00:34:43,915 --> 00:34:45,784
You going to eat
that aspar...?
873
00:34:45,817 --> 00:34:46,818
Hey!
874
00:34:51,823 --> 00:34:54,693
Thank you.
875
00:34:55,761 --> 00:34:58,164
There is another
possibility.
876
00:34:58,164 --> 00:35:01,800
If Danforth is grieving
for his son...
877
00:35:01,833 --> 00:35:05,171
then he's only covering
for Merrill because...
878
00:35:05,204 --> 00:35:07,473
He refuses to believe that
Merrill attempted to kill him.
879
00:35:11,377 --> 00:35:12,811
Let's hope he's not wrong.
880
00:35:14,746 --> 00:35:16,782
Either way,
881
00:35:16,815 --> 00:35:20,452
however it went down,
Jethro, you find Merrill...
882
00:35:20,486 --> 00:35:22,688
...you're going to find
Danforth Jr.
883
00:35:25,857 --> 00:35:28,360
Merrill, M-E-R-R...
884
00:35:28,394 --> 00:35:30,862
R-R, like Ricky Ricardo.
885
00:35:30,896 --> 00:35:32,531
Okay, got his ATM records.
886
00:35:32,564 --> 00:35:34,333
Checking for any
recent activity.
887
00:35:34,366 --> 00:35:35,701
Vehicle is a tan
888
00:35:35,734 --> 00:35:38,804
Sierra, license plate D-P-H.
889
00:35:38,837 --> 00:35:39,805
Ricky Ricardo.
890
00:35:39,838 --> 00:35:41,373
You know, from I Love Lucy.
891
00:35:41,407 --> 00:35:42,541
No withdrawals
in the last two weeks.
892
00:35:42,574 --> 00:35:43,742
Credit card records coming up.
893
00:35:43,775 --> 00:35:44,910
Tan! If I meant burnt umber,
894
00:35:44,943 --> 00:35:46,278
I would have said burnt umber.
895
00:35:46,312 --> 00:35:48,314
Get... Whatever it is.
896
00:35:48,347 --> 00:35:49,715
Ricky Ricardo!
897
00:35:49,748 --> 00:35:52,284
You know, "You got some
'splaining to do, Lucy."
898
00:35:52,318 --> 00:35:54,553
Hey, Boss. Just updating
the BOLO on Merrill.
899
00:35:54,586 --> 00:35:55,854
And checking
the DMV to see
900
00:35:55,887 --> 00:35:58,290
to see if he's had
any traffic violations recently.
901
00:35:58,324 --> 00:35:59,458
And going through
his financial records
902
00:35:59,491 --> 00:36:01,327
to try and pick up any leads
off any recent purchases.
903
00:36:02,761 --> 00:36:04,363
And?
904
00:36:04,396 --> 00:36:05,731
And we can't find him.
905
00:36:07,266 --> 00:36:09,635
Uh... but we're not going
to give up until we do.
906
00:36:09,668 --> 00:36:11,670
Or die trying.
907
00:36:17,776 --> 00:36:19,411
"Or die trying?"
908
00:36:19,445 --> 00:36:20,846
You had to put that in his head?
909
00:36:23,749 --> 00:36:25,817
You wanted to see me, Duck?
910
00:36:25,851 --> 00:36:27,719
Yes, I did. I was
just about to call you.
911
00:36:27,753 --> 00:36:32,258
Small wonder DiNozzo is always
looking over his shoulder.
912
00:36:32,291 --> 00:36:34,860
I managed to put a couple
of bits together.
913
00:36:34,893 --> 00:36:36,362
Yes... lower canine.
914
00:36:36,395 --> 00:36:37,729
How long?
915
00:36:37,763 --> 00:36:38,930
Oh, a week, maybe longer.
916
00:36:38,964 --> 00:36:40,766
Any odds of
this reconstruction
917
00:36:40,799 --> 00:36:42,434
getting us an ID?
918
00:36:42,468 --> 00:36:44,270
Exceedingly long,
919
00:36:44,303 --> 00:36:46,004
but it's the only
method I have
920
00:36:46,037 --> 00:36:47,973
for identifying
these remains.
921
00:36:48,006 --> 00:36:49,741
I've had long
shots come in.
922
00:36:49,775 --> 00:36:51,443
I-I once wagered
a 500-to-one
923
00:36:51,477 --> 00:36:52,911
on the Irish Sweepstakes.
924
00:36:52,944 --> 00:36:56,715
He fell at the first jump,
but then recovered.
925
00:36:56,748 --> 00:36:58,984
He fell at the second jump.
926
00:36:59,017 --> 00:37:01,653
You'll never guess
what happened next.
927
00:37:03,589 --> 00:37:04,656
( phone rings )
928
00:37:04,690 --> 00:37:05,857
Yeah, Gibbs.
929
00:37:05,891 --> 00:37:07,759
It's me, Gibbs!
930
00:37:07,793 --> 00:37:09,795
You'll never guess
what I found.
931
00:37:09,828 --> 00:37:11,497
Come on, Gibbs, guess!
932
00:37:12,798 --> 00:37:15,934
I ran the prints from
the bottle of Ibuprofen
933
00:37:15,967 --> 00:37:18,637
that Tony found at the
Danforth accident site.
934
00:37:18,670 --> 00:37:20,572
Can I at least get
a drum roll?
935
00:37:20,606 --> 00:37:23,609
( monotone ):
Ta-da.
936
00:37:23,642 --> 00:37:24,943
Pathetic.
937
00:37:24,976 --> 00:37:25,977
Prints?
938
00:37:26,011 --> 00:37:28,547
The prescription belonged
to Corporal Merrill.
939
00:37:28,580 --> 00:37:30,316
All of the prints
on the bottle
940
00:37:30,316 --> 00:37:31,950
belonged to Lance
Corporal Danforth.
941
00:37:31,983 --> 00:37:33,352
GIBBS:
So?
942
00:37:33,385 --> 00:37:34,353
Merrill gave Danforth
943
00:37:34,386 --> 00:37:35,587
some of his grunt candy.
944
00:37:35,621 --> 00:37:37,556
It wasn't grunt candy.
945
00:37:37,589 --> 00:37:40,459
The bottle was empty,
so I swabbed it
946
00:37:40,492 --> 00:37:41,793
and I ran it through
the Mass Spec.
947
00:37:41,827 --> 00:37:43,329
Cyclosporine/Azathioprine.
948
00:37:43,362 --> 00:37:46,532
Come on, Abs.
In English.
949
00:37:46,565 --> 00:37:47,833
They're antirejection
drugs, Gibbs.
950
00:37:47,866 --> 00:37:49,901
If Danforth
was taking them,
951
00:37:49,935 --> 00:37:51,570
he's had a transplant.
952
00:37:51,603 --> 00:37:53,805
The DNA I ran could be
from a donor organ.
953
00:37:53,839 --> 00:37:57,008
Kind of turning me on.
954
00:37:57,042 --> 00:37:59,811
I'm going to get
another sample from Ducky.
955
00:37:59,845 --> 00:38:01,380
This body could be
956
00:38:01,413 --> 00:38:04,916
Lance Corporal Danforth.
957
00:38:05,884 --> 00:38:07,553
So urban myth.
958
00:38:13,091 --> 00:38:14,660
Hey, Bill.
Called your home.
959
00:38:14,693 --> 00:38:16,928
Wife said you
were here.
960
00:38:19,498 --> 00:38:22,468
You got bad news
for me, don't you?
961
00:38:26,905 --> 00:38:28,574
Yeah.
962
00:38:36,948 --> 00:38:39,084
Where'd your son have
his transplant?
963
00:38:42,954 --> 00:38:46,392
Does it matter?
964
00:38:50,729 --> 00:38:53,399
No.
965
00:38:55,401 --> 00:38:57,669
You can't stay in the
Corps with a kidney
transplant, Jethro.
966
00:38:57,703 --> 00:39:00,639
Who burned
in the fire, Bill?
967
00:39:02,974 --> 00:39:04,876
An unclaimed body
968
00:39:04,910 --> 00:39:07,012
at the hospital morgue
scheduled for cremation.
969
00:39:07,045 --> 00:39:11,016
I made a donation,
they switched a toe tag
970
00:39:11,049 --> 00:39:13,685
and the County saved itself
the cost of a cremation.
971
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:14,886
Could have killed
those EMTs, Bill.
972
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:16,021
No.
973
00:39:16,054 --> 00:39:19,691
I didn't detonate that oxygen
until they were clear.
974
00:39:19,725 --> 00:39:20,792
Why?
975
00:39:20,826 --> 00:39:23,795
Your son was dead.
976
00:39:23,829 --> 00:39:26,598
Corps doesn't care
if he had a transplant now.
977
00:39:29,901 --> 00:39:33,004
They were more
than friends.
978
00:39:33,038 --> 00:39:35,574
They were a match.
979
00:39:35,607 --> 00:39:38,477
Corporal Merrill
gave your son a kidney.
980
00:39:38,510 --> 00:39:40,546
An autopsy would reveal
981
00:39:40,579 --> 00:39:41,947
the transplant.
982
00:39:41,980 --> 00:39:43,682
I was afraid that the M.E.
would run a DNA check
983
00:39:43,715 --> 00:39:45,584
on the donor organ.
984
00:39:45,617 --> 00:39:47,986
And you can't be on active duty
985
00:39:48,019 --> 00:39:50,055
if you gave away a kidney.
986
00:39:51,189 --> 00:39:53,792
The Corps means the world
to that boy, Jethro.
987
00:39:53,825 --> 00:39:56,795
It's his life,
and he risked everything.
988
00:39:56,828 --> 00:39:58,163
He risked it all
989
00:39:58,196 --> 00:40:00,732
to help out his
best friend, my son.
990
00:40:00,766 --> 00:40:02,934
He rigged an IED to burn...
I did that.
991
00:40:02,968 --> 00:40:04,936
Bill!
I'll swear I did it.
992
00:40:04,970 --> 00:40:06,104
Kenny had nothing
to do with this.
993
00:40:06,137 --> 00:40:06,972
Why'd he go UA?
994
00:40:07,005 --> 00:40:08,006
He didn't go UA.
995
00:40:08,039 --> 00:40:10,609
He was at my place.
996
00:40:10,642 --> 00:40:12,678
The things that Kenny's
997
00:40:12,711 --> 00:40:15,113
teaching those Marine going
to Iraq will save their lives,
998
00:40:15,146 --> 00:40:17,849
Jethro.
999
00:40:17,883 --> 00:40:21,019
Come on, let me take the hit
on this one.
1000
00:40:23,054 --> 00:40:25,090
Where's your son's body?
1001
00:40:31,730 --> 00:40:34,566
At the hospital morgue.
1002
00:40:40,138 --> 00:40:41,439
Come on.
1003
00:40:43,909 --> 00:40:45,010
( sawing )
1004
00:40:47,145 --> 00:40:48,914
I do apologize.
1005
00:40:48,947 --> 00:40:50,616
Usually one scraping
1006
00:40:50,649 --> 00:40:57,155
is sufficient,
but you are so crispy.
1007
00:40:57,188 --> 00:41:01,026
Oh... that should satisfy Abby.
1008
00:41:01,059 --> 00:41:02,093
Ah, Jethro.
1009
00:41:02,127 --> 00:41:04,996
Abby told me about the
transplant and her theory.
1010
00:41:05,030 --> 00:41:06,197
Mm-hmm. You buy it?
1011
00:41:06,231 --> 00:41:07,966
Well...
1012
00:41:07,999 --> 00:41:10,001
it is possible.
1013
00:41:10,035 --> 00:41:12,070
GIBBS:
My money's on
your teeth, Duck.
1014
00:41:12,103 --> 00:41:14,005
Get back to it.
1015
00:41:14,039 --> 00:41:17,075
As soon as I give this
to Abby.
1016
00:41:17,108 --> 00:41:18,109
I'll do it.
1017
00:41:18,143 --> 00:41:19,144
Jethro!
1018
00:41:19,177 --> 00:41:20,278
Huh?
1019
00:41:20,311 --> 00:41:22,881
I've never seen you break
evidence protocol before.
1020
00:41:22,914 --> 00:41:25,851
You don't trust me, Duck?
1021
00:41:25,884 --> 00:41:27,052
Well, that's not the point.
1022
00:41:27,085 --> 00:41:28,219
Chain of evidence
1023
00:41:28,253 --> 00:41:29,254
is chain of evidence.
1024
00:41:29,287 --> 00:41:30,822
You're right about that.
1025
00:41:30,856 --> 00:41:33,592
I'd slap DiNozzo silly
if he did it.
1026
00:41:33,625 --> 00:41:36,027
Jethro, you surprise me.
1027
00:41:36,061 --> 00:41:39,565
Must be getting old.
1028
00:41:58,116 --> 00:42:00,586
God.
1029
00:42:02,888 --> 00:42:04,022
ABBY:
Yes!
1030
00:42:04,055 --> 00:42:05,156
Yes!
1031
00:42:05,190 --> 00:42:07,158
Whoo! Yes!
1032
00:42:07,192 --> 00:42:08,259
DUCKY:
That's incredible.
1033
00:42:08,293 --> 00:42:09,928
No need for a dental match
now, Duck.
1034
00:42:09,961 --> 00:42:13,865
The odds on getting donor DNA
from Danforth's body
1035
00:42:13,899 --> 00:42:16,101
are astronomical.
1036
00:42:16,134 --> 00:42:18,003
Alabama, 1954.
1037
00:42:18,036 --> 00:42:21,006
A nine-pound meteorite
1038
00:42:21,039 --> 00:42:22,007
hits Annie Hodges.
1039
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:23,074
The odds of getting hit
1040
00:42:23,108 --> 00:42:25,110
by a meteorite?
1041
00:42:25,143 --> 00:42:26,244
Astronomical--
no pun intended.
1042
00:42:26,277 --> 00:42:27,679
But it happens.
1043
00:42:27,713 --> 00:42:29,648
And I'm going
to be published again. Ooh!
1044
00:42:29,681 --> 00:42:31,116
DiNOZZO:
Peachy for you, but we just
lost our victim.
1045
00:42:31,149 --> 00:42:32,918
Our suspect.
1046
00:42:32,951 --> 00:42:34,119
Our theories.
1047
00:42:34,152 --> 00:42:36,688
We've been barking
up the wrong tree
1048
00:42:36,722 --> 00:42:38,356
the entire investigation.
1049
00:42:38,389 --> 00:42:39,791
Bush.
1050
00:42:39,825 --> 00:42:41,059
Sorry, Bush.
1051
00:42:41,092 --> 00:42:45,230
We've been barking up
the wrong... bush.
1052
00:42:45,263 --> 00:42:48,900
Tree. So, who torched
the ambulance and why?
1053
00:42:50,301 --> 00:42:52,070
Don't look at me.
1054
00:42:56,407 --> 00:42:57,709
Don't tell me.
1055
00:42:57,743 --> 00:42:59,277
Well, yeah.
Abby was right.
1056
00:42:59,310 --> 00:43:01,079
First test picked up donor DNA.
1057
00:43:01,112 --> 00:43:04,215
Our John Doe
is Lance Corporal Danforth.
1058
00:43:04,249 --> 00:43:05,684
Good.
1059
00:43:05,717 --> 00:43:07,786
I mean, not good--
a Marine is dead--
1060
00:43:07,819 --> 00:43:10,288
but good that the case
is no longer ours.
1061
00:43:10,321 --> 00:43:11,890
Mm-hmm.
1062
00:43:11,923 --> 00:43:14,292
I know what you're going
to say, Jethro, and don't.
1063
00:43:14,325 --> 00:43:17,295
I want Lance Corporal Danforth's
remains returned to his father
1064
00:43:17,328 --> 00:43:18,664
and I want the case turned over
1065
00:43:18,664 --> 00:43:20,666
to the Maryland
arson investigators.
1066
00:43:20,699 --> 00:43:22,834
That will make
Mr. Danforth happy,
1067
00:43:22,868 --> 00:43:24,870
which will make the SecNav
happy, which in turn,
1068
00:43:24,903 --> 00:43:25,971
will make me very happy.
1069
00:43:26,004 --> 00:43:29,207
We have wasted way too many
of our resources already.
1070
00:43:29,240 --> 00:43:31,843
Okay.
