All language subtitles for NCIS.S09E18_eng

That's one, two,
three solid leads.

Three.

We'd need 30
private contracts

to make up the kind
of revenue we're out.

Hey, we're doing
our best here.

You got 80%
of the company

in bed with
the Navy, and...

And what, Ron?

We need that
military contract.

Not gonna happen.

Navy wants to go light.

Steel is out,
poly fiber is in.

Dalton, did the
contract expire,

or did it expire?Expired.

And are we gonna
get it back?

Don't see it happening.

Legal doesn't see
it happening, Ron.

Maybe we should
stop yapping about

a Navy contract
we don't have anymore

[slams hand on table]and figure out how
to sell some damn steel!

I have to go.

Give our best
to the Secretary of the Navy.

And good luck
with the speech.

As President and CEO

of Wickes Steel & Shipbuilding,

I'm proud of the work
my family has put

into building
these great machines.

They're an unshakable foundation
upon which the Navy

can take her fleet
to new heights.

How was that?

MAN:
That was perfect, sir.
Thank you.

WICKES:
Was I loud enough?

JARVIS:
Always are.

[laughs]

Mr. Secretary, I...

I feel sorry for you
having to follow that.

Oh, I was going
to have you take a look

at my speech,
maybe do a little punch up.

WICKES [chuckles]:
Like old times, huh?

We made a
great team.

I mean, older and wiser

shows me how to
hit the books.

Younger and more
handsome shows you[chuckles]

how to win the hearts.

Ah, That was a
long time ago.

A less
complicated time.Hm.

Um, you know...

we have business to
talk about, Clayton.

Sure. Well, uh...

we'll do it privately.
I'll come over to house.

Better hurry, I may not own
the place much longer.

Get down!
Falcon down!

He's been hit in the chest.

Stop him!

[whispers]:
Hey, McGee.

Vance is not here, either.

Doesn't his son have a
soccer game in Alexandria?

No, that is next week.

Tony's ignoring my calls,

and it is very unlike Gibbs
to just disappear like this.

[whispers]:
Something is going on.

Actually, I think Tony
said something about

being on SECNAV's PSD today.

That's probably
a cover.

I think they must be at

some kind of man day.

You know, when

men take a day to do
man things together.

Really?
Yes.

And just because I am a woman,
they do not have the courtesy

to tell me where
they are going

or when they will be back.

I'm a man.

That's right!

Which makes this even worse.

I'm going to Tony again.

[phone ringing]

We're doing our best to keep
the investigation closed.

Clayton?

Uh, no update yet,
Mr. Wickes.

We're trying to keep this
out of the press.

The less our shooter knows,
the better off we are.

Okay, we're asking
these people

to not say anything
about what they saw.

I saw a man with a gun.

Right, I got that.

So you're going to be
in this group.

You're going to answer
their questions,

then you're going
to go home.

Okay? You're going
to lay low

and you're going
to tell your people

that you need
some personal time.

No, I don't want that.

I want him kept separate
from the group.

He was standing
next to Jarvis.

He had a better
view than anybody.

The gunman,
he was wearing a blue hat.

I saw him.Okay, okay.

We're going to put you
with a sketch artist,

You write down
everything you remember.

Of course, anything.

VANCE:
Gibbs.

Massive blood loss,
doesn't look good.

His family's
been notified.

Agent Gibbs, follow me
to the hospital.
DiNozzo,

you put him in a car
back to headquarters.

I'll meet you there.

Gentlemen,

welcome to the party.

It's BYOS:

Bring Your Own Shooter.

I brought mine--

Tyler Elliott,

my lead investigator.

Gibbs, Vance, NCIS.

Agent Gibbs, bravo.

Big doubts about you going in,

but you were way better
than expected.

Meryl Streep better.Ah.

Take that as a compliment.

This one tells it
like it is, to a fault.

Been there for
the real thing.

Are you confirming that all our
marks were hit, Doctor?

[door opens]

On the money, Leon.

Break out the champagne.

Opening night was a success.

Well done.

McGEE:
Hey, where you been,
we've been calling?

What's going on?

Man day is over,
and he is still ignoring us.

I am not going to be ignored.

Glenn Close, Fatal Attraction.

Good one, Ziva.

Your impression of
"hot lady with crazy eyes"

is dead on, by the way.

You are a, uh,

sphinx of a minx.

Game time fellas,
just like we planned it.

Tony, do not try
to talk your way

out of this by calling me hot.

McGEE: He also called
you crazy, Ziva.

ZIVA:
Ooh, I will unleash crazy on him

if he does not apologize

for leaving me
out of the loop.

JARVIS:
That won't be necessary,
Special Agent David.

Today was phase one of
a joint PsyOps/NCIS directive--

a staged assassination
attempt of yours truly.

So that's where you were.

Welcome to the need to know.

Target is Phillip J. Wickes of
Wickes Steel & Shipbuilding.

I want it known that Phillip
Wickes is a personal friend.

I signed off on this op
under the condition that

we look just as hard
for his innocence

as we do for his guilt.
Understood?

Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.

Director Vance.

One week ago, a page from a

highly classified file
surfaced online.

That same day,
SECNAV got a love letter

demanding that he put the brakes
on the Navy's green initiative

which is to build all new subs
and ships

with lighter,
alternative materials.

TONY:
If the SECNAV refuses to play,

the e-mail threatens to release
more pages from the file.

It's straight-up blackmail.

What is in this
document, Director?

The file was remotely lifted
from a database at AUTEC.

That's the the Atlantic...

Atlantic Undersea Test
and Evaluation Center.

It's a facility where
they test military technology.

Unmanned
submersible drones,

Mk-48 torpedo
simulators...

Easy, McBradbury.

The file details
a simulated warfare test

done at AUTEC.

First page, no context,

but you throw in a couple more,
suddenly you're announcing

the weaknesses of every port
on the Eastern seaboard.

Cyber division couldn't ID
the source of the breach

in AUTEC's firewall,
but they did tell us

the blackmail message
was e-mailed from...

Wickes Steel.

Last month, the Navy said that
they were done with Wickes.

Good-bye government contracts,
hello bankruptcy.

So, the blackmailer
is Phillip Wickes?

GIBBS:
It's his company.

He's got a pretty good motive.But how is pretending

to shoot SECNAV going to lead us
to our blackmailer?

RYAN:
Seeing his childhood
friend shot,

Wickes is highly vulnerable.

The idea is to tell him that
we've connected the shooting

to Wickes Steel and AUTEC.

If Wickes is part of this
blackmail, then he's going

to want to know why
his people pulled the trigger.

Eyes and ears
on this guy 24/7.

Anyone he connects with
is a suspect.

What if Wickes isn't involved?

Oh, he'll tell us something,

even if he doesn't intend to.

Got your earpiece.

No, I don't need you
in my ear, Doc.

[chuckles] You know
what you need.

Oh, yes I do.

Really?

Yeah.Hey,

you think you
don't need me,

Agent Gibbs,
but you're wrong.

But now I'm curious.

What do you need?

Well, that question
works both ways.

I need you to go in there,

and man-to-man,
establish a bond with Wickes.

I need you to say

what I tell you,
when I tell you.

I need to study Wickes'
language, his body,

and most importantly,
his limbic, physical response

the first time he hears
the word AUTEC.

And from that,
I need to decide

whether or not he's involved.

Hmm, usually I just get
'em to say they did it.

It's easier.

Breakfast the other night,

did I or did I not deduce
that you like powdered sugar

and not syrup on your pancakes

before the pancakes were ordered
without you saying one word?

I rest my case.

His hat was definitely blue.

I...

I wrote in my notes, uh,[sighs]

more royal, than navy.

I think that's correct.

Oh, don't tell me
you can't last longer than this.

GIBBS:
We've been at this
a long time, Mr. Wickes.

It's unfair to see a

guy go through this for over two
hours with nothing in return.

I want to help
all that I can.

See, he's a giver.

Okay, keep 'em rolling.
Repeat after me:

How many employees
from your company

were aware
of today's symposium?

A lot of your people
know about this thing today?

WICKES:
Yes. Why?

Are you suggesting that

someone from my company
could be involved?

No, tell him it's unlikely.

Make him your friend first.

We'll get to that later.
Tell him.

Not likely.

Wickes Steel is
going through a...

[sighs]
pretty tough time.

But we'll push through,
I mean, this

company was built
on simple pride.

My grandfather started
with an idea.

My father worked there
till the day he died.

The old man loved
his female employees.

I have more relatives
and half-relatives

working for me
than you can imagine.

[chuckles]

What am I talking about?

This is about Clayton.

Even though I was older,

he always looked
out for me.

We use to call
him the Mayor.

[sighs]

I just want to see him
pull through this.

RYAN:
It's okay, let him go.

Gibbs, Gibbs,
let him come back to you.[sighs]

Just be patient.

Think about something else.

The sweater I wore to your house
the other night,

what color was it?

I know you remember.

No! No, no... [sighs]

We think the shooter

has a connection to AUTEC.

You know what AUTEC is,
Mr. Wicke?

I do.

A lot of unhappy folks
from your company knew exactly

where SECNAV was gonna be today.

Do any of them

have a connection
to AUTEC projects?

Lawrence Ridgeway.

He wasn't the man
with the gun, but...

Details.

[sighs]

Wickes built something for AUTEC
back in the '70s.

Before my time.

Ridgeway was the only one
still around that worked on it.

Last month, I had
to lay him off,

two weeks shy
of retirement.

Lawrence did not take it well.

What the hell
was that?

Doc, I don't have all year
to figure this out.

I told you I needed
to study Wickes.

You just watched him
for two hours.
Yes.

And then you blocked my
view at the critical moment.

First mention of AUTEC,

all I saw was the back
of your big fat head.

I can't even confirm now that he
was involved in the blackmail.

Looks like Ridgeway might be.

Oh, you think Wickes
was rattled enough

to give up a partner
just like that?

Or he's just telling us
what he knows,

and he's innocent.

I didn't try
to block your view.

I didn't try
to ruin anything.

That's it? Is that all
you have to say?
No.

Lawrence Ridgeway.

TONY:
Say hello to Lawrence Ridgeway.

A spry 62,
and loving it.

Third-generation

steelworker,

hired at Wickes Steel
when he was just a kid.

Dedicated employee,

sort of like yours truly.
By the way,

I want to thank you
for allowing me to participate

in the SECNAV op.Thank the Doc.

She's the one who chose you.

Yeah, I thought your
game show host quality

would be good
for the stage.Ziva?

ZIVA:
Ridgeway has
had a rough year.

Lost thousands in company stock,

he was recently laid off,

and if Wickes Steel goes under,
he will likely lose his pension.

SECNAV's green plan
ruined this guy.

Sounds like
a motive to me.

McGEE:
If Ridgeway did it, he had help.

There's no way he's got

the skills to break through
AUTEC's firewall.

I found a post
of his on a PC

forum asking what a cookie is.

[laughs]
Old people.

Old people entertain me.

I can tell you
Wickes didn't have

the know-how to pull off
this AUTEC job, either.

I think we're looking at a team.

So you determined
from the interview

that Wickes is involved?

[clears throat]

My findings were inconclusive.

GIBBS:
Any contact between
Wickes and Ridgeway?

Not a peep out of Wickes
since we let him go.

Wickes is a chess player.

It doesn't surprise me

that he's taking some time
before he makes his next move.

McGee, get me
a location on Ridgeway.

On it.

DiNozzo, Ziva, get going.

Oh, um,
instead of

Wink Martindale here,

I think I'd like
to send Elliott.

TONY:
Wink?

Come on, at least
go Chuck Woolery.

No, let me at him. I'm the king
of non-verbal indicators.

Yes, he is.

Unless, of course,
somebody blocks his view.

GIBBS:
Ziva,

take Elliott with
you. Come on.

[whispers]:
Game show host.

Did you see that?

Is she serious about this
whole game show host thing?

Oh, the doc does not mess around

when it comes
to peoples' personality traits.

Gibbs smiled at her.

I saw it. And the way he walked
to the elevator-- it was...

It was what?

Bouncy. Gibbs' walk

definitely had a bounce to it.

Yeah, happy feet. I saw it.

Feet are the most honest part
of a human's body.

Eyes are not bad indicators,
as well.

I saw Ryan's dilate

when Gibbs walked
into her office the other day.

So, what do you think
this means?

Oh, interest, excitement,
you know.

It's a neurovascular response.

The fact is, the
only one who knows

what a person is thinking is
the person who's thinking it.

I thought you PsyOps agents
could interpret everything.No.

And even if we could,
we wouldn't tell you.

Mm. So, Dr. Ryan-- is she...?

The best.

The annoying big
sister I never had.

I'd do anything for her, and if
Gibbs hurts her, I'll kill him.

[laughs]

Oh, sorry.
I shoot straight,

and hope
that it'll be tempered

by my teddy-bear
cuteness.
Uh-huh.

Bullet hole
through the window.

Clear.

Clear.

Well, that's Ridgeway.

Looks like he's been
dead a few days.

What else do you
see, Mr. Observant?

This guy's not gonna be
painting anytime soon.

He's not gonna be answering
any questions, either.

Dr. Ryan,

from the moment
Jethro first mentioned your name

and told me of
your passion

for the inner workings
of the human mind,

I knew I had found

a kindred spirit.Kindred spirit.

That's exactly what
I was gonna to say.

Plenty of time
for spirits

later, Duck?

Ah. Thank
you, Jethro.

Ever diligent

in the war on small talk.

Single gunshot
wound to the chest.

The bullet pierced
the sternum,

headed straight through
the dorsal side,

and lodged itself
in an adjacent wall.

Happily, it is now
in the capable hands

of Miss Sciuto.

GIBBS:
That it?

Well, based on the
rate of decomposition,

he expired approximately 72
hours prior to discovery.

GIBBS:
Before we started
playing Wickes.

Oh, please.

Mr. Ridgeway.

Do you mind
if I call you Larry?

[whispers]:
Ooh, I like this woman.

So, Elliott tells me
you never saw the bullet coming,

and that you were
getting ready to paint.

So, let's just say

you were involved in a plot

to blackmail the
Secretary of the Navy.

You with me, Larr?

Is brightening up the den

really the top
of your priority list?

I'm pretty sure that
Larr-bear here wasn't involved.

I think he just knew something

that someone didn't want him
telling us.

[whispers]:
She's phenomenal.

But can she make
assumptions like this?

She just did, Duck.

[phone rings]

Yeah, Abbs.

In my lab.I'm on my way.

"War on small talk." Classic.

Impressive.

Gibbs! Gibbs!
Gibbs! Gibbs!

Look, I know
that McGee thinks

that AUTEC is just a
military facility,

but I have possible proof

of an actual
sighting of a USO.

That's an Unidentified
Submerged Object.

Oh. Hello.

Hello. I'm Dr. Samantha...

Ryan. I know.

So, what am I thinking?

You're thinking I can't

possibly know
what you're thinking.

You're good.

Abby. Come on.
What do you got?

A lot. AUTEC is,
like, crazy amazing.

You've got your
Bermuda Triangle,

your wormholes, you've got
your magnetic field deviations.

Just wish there was a
way to contain it all.

You're a mapper.

Oh. I'm warning you.

You should get out of my head

while you still can.

Can you map the bullet
back to the shooter?

Slug that
killed Ridgeway,

it's 30-caliber,
definitely unusual.

The one thing I do know is
that it's not military specs.

I'm still trying
to track it back

to the exact weapon
it was fired from.

Track faster, Abbs.

You know why
you're so gruff all the time?

You need more sex.

I'm not answering that.

You just did.

I am telling you, I saw
a bounce in his step.

And Elliott... Elliott was sure
about Ryan's pupils, as well.

How am I gonna survive
Gibbs dating a woman

who thinks I'm a
game show host?

What does that even mean?
Does she think I'm cheesy?

That I like
pencil-thin microphones?

See, I don't buy it.
Gibbs is a lone wolf.

You have to
be observant.

Next time they come in
here, you need to open

your eyes
and really look.

GIBBS:
Okay, what are we looking at?

Updates on Ridgeway's
shooter.

Go.

Ridgeway was shot
three days ago.

Ryan's had eyes on Wickes
for the last week.

He wasn't the triggerman.

Well, he could have
ordered it earlier.

McGee, e-mails?

Wickes has contacted
three people

since we suggested
the AUTEC

connection
to the SECNAV's shooting.

ZIVA:
Bob "Smitty" Smith,
Ronald Ostrowski,

and Vice President
Frank Satner.

TONY:
All haunt

the Wickes Steel boardroom.

Whole lot of motive
going on.

Working to clear
their backgrounds,

but so far,
all talks have been

work-related and clean.

Look for codes.
Yeah.

And cross-reference keywords
with recent e-mails.

Whoever shot Ridgeway wanted
to keep him quiet for a reason.

Could be this.

Report detailing the project

Ridgeway worked on for AUTEC.

Well, it's
been redacted.

Yeah.

Can we get access?

Mm. Won't be a cakewalk.

Leads on the AUTEC hacker?

Whoever he is,

he's good.

Hid his IP
behind a wall

of alternating
secure servers.

We need to get in this report.

Okay.

RYAN:
Bad news. There's more

red tape around that thing
than I have ever seen.

The good news is,
I have a talent

for badgering people
until they give me what I need.

Hard to believe.

Wickes is lying low
for a reason.

I think he eliminated
the only remaining connection

between his company and AUTEC.

I think he saw us
snooping around.

I think he sent us straight
to Ridgeway's door.

I mean, who would
suspect him?
You.

[phone chimes]

Your son?

You're not the only one
who can spot a tell, Doc.

Parker's a funny kid.

He's trying to wrangle
fast food out of my sister.

[laughs]
No.

You got pictures?

Your surveillance pictures
weren't good enough?

By the way, bad of me.

Well, that's not the kind of
Kodak moment I was thinking.

[laughs]

He was just little
when he gave it to me.

He used to love boats

almost as much as you do.

He said it was the two of us,

and that we were
on this boat,

sailing away, happy.

He wanted to take you away.

Who's playing doctor now?

[phone ringing]

Yeah, McGee.

Boss, I finally got the IP

for the computer used
to hack into AUTEC.

Belongs to a government
consultant named Amanda Baylor.

So that's our computer genius?

An encryption specialist.

And you are never gonna believe
where she works.

[whirring, rhythmic beeping]

[tires screech]

Yes, I can confirm
that one Amanda Baylor

is in the hiz-ouse.

Very unattractive,

in case you're wondering.

By the way, are you aware

of a little film
called The Graduate?

Mike Nichols.

Fantastic.

"Would you like me
to seduce you?"

Wait, what?

Were you quoting the
movie or was that real?

Where's Baylor?

Secure encryption room.

She's in the middle
of a 72-hour shift.

Logged in 14.5
hours ago,

before I got here.

Once an encryptor goes in,
they don't come out--

department policy.

Probably well on the way
to being ripe in there.

Did you know
that your hair

sparkles under
these fluorescents?

Really?

How much does it sparkle?

So much.
So much?

So, so much.

Open it.

Can't.

No in, no out.

Encryptors even have
their own private commode.

There's a lot of confidential

crap in there.

Here.

I can make sure you
don't lose your job,

but there might
be something else

we could talk
about you losing.

I've decided to open it.Thank you.

Where is she?

This did not happen
on my watch.

When she clocked in I
was still in my pj's,

jamming to Luther Vandross.

Wow, this is a beautiful setup.

They're running
themselves?

No, Mrs. R.

They're being run remotely.

Amanda Baylor.

Are you there?

ZIVA:
Amanda Baylor, 28,

unmarried,
freelance encryption specialist,

graduated from MIT with a
degree in applied mathematics.

What else?

That's pretty much it, boss.

With the exception of
a few personnel files

from the Iron Crypt, it's
like she doesn't exist.

Well, she existed enough to have
stolen that file from AUTEC

and set up a pretty good alibi.

How often was she
logged in at work

when she wasn't
actually there?

Can we link her
to Phillip Wickes?

We have not been able

to tie Baylor to anyone
at Wickes Steel.

Not even
the board stooges.

Wickes is still only talking
to them and only about

pushing paper.

What about a line

from Amanda Baylor
to our dead guy?

ZIVA:
Baylor does not have a history

with firearms,
but it is still possible

[phone rings]that she shot Ridgeway.

Yeah, Abbs.

Tell her you're on your way.

I'm on my way.

There,

there it is.

I don't see it.

She's right.

There was a bounce.

Damn it.

ABBY:
Welcome to AUTEC

and the surrounding areas
of the Caribbean.

What is this?

The Bermuda Triangle.

And an ode
to my inner mapper.

I'm marking the site
of each and every

amazing thing
that happened here.

Well, you can't
just say that

and not give us a little taste.

I wouldn't dream of it.

Okay, so this bullet marks where

the USS Cyclopsvanished
in the Triangle,

and this bullet is

the Bimini Wall.

It's a possible location
for Atlantis.

And this bullet, Gibbs, this
is the Tongue of the Ocean.

It's like

an underwater Grand Canyon,

and we think

that AUTEC is running cables

down more than 6,000 feet.

To what we don't know.

Any of these bullets
have a point, Abbs?

The bullet that killed Ridgeway.

I traced that back to
a company called Vita Foras.

Vita Foras.

It's Latin.

Rough translation:
"Great Outdoors."

I'd guess
we're looking

at hunting weapons?

You would guess right.

More specifically,
extremely rare

hunting rifles, the kind

that crazy hard-core
collectors would trade.

Hard to track.
Exactly.

Love your
triangle, Abbs.

I... I just have to ask.

You're in the business of
proving things with science.

Why this need to chart
the unexplainable?

Wait, you're in my head, right?

I'm just going

to answer you in my thoughts.

Wow.

I get it.

You are a trip,
Ms. Sciuto.

That's a good thing, right?

[sighs]

What now?

Where is Baylor and
who shot Ridgeway?

Wickes might be able
to tell us if we ask nicely.

I'll ask.

I've seen your nice.

I'm going with you.

You said man-to-man.

Oh.

Right, I'm sorry,
we haven't met.

Hi, I'm Elizabeth Brighton,

SECNAV's public affairs officer

during this time of crisis.

Wickes and I are going to form
a special bond of our own.

[snickers]

GIBBS:
We think she might have
a connection

to whoever shot
the secretary.

You know her?

[sighs]

I don't
recognize her.

Did you talk to
Lawrence Ridgeway?

He's dead.

He was murdered?

Murder weapon was
a hunting rifle.

It's rare.

You know anyone with
something like that?

[phone rings]

WICKES:
No.

Yeah, it's Gibbs.

Do you think she shot
both of them?

We don't know.

As I mentioned, I am
serving as the secretary's

public affairs officer,

and he asked me to thank you
for your help with all of this,

and he wanted me to
pass on a message that

the Mayor was sorry that he
missed your birthday last month.

I, I don't know what to say.

There were complications
with the second surgery.

Nothing more they can do.

VANCE:
An interesting day on
the World Wide Web.

A second helping of
the AUTEC file has been leaked.

Page is a table
of contents

listing all the ports
analyzed in the file.

They're toying with us.

First leak was Baylor, second
one has got to be her, too.

So let's grab her.Working on it.

Work harder, Gibbs, I'm about
to go down as the ass who took

a fake shot in the chest
for nothing.

I think "nothing"
would be

stretching it, sir.

Where'd you get this?

Borrowed it
from Wickes.

He took a good
look at it

right after Gibbs updated
him about your condition.

Well, that
makes sense--

picture of the two
of them together.

He also looked at it
directly after he heard

that Ridgeway was shot

with a rare
hunting rifle.

Can you think

of any possible
connection

between that photo
and a weapon of that type?

Picture was taken
at his family's cabin.

We were on a hunting trip.

Are you gonna try
to tell me

that Wickes was
implicating himself?

Wickes didn't
pull the trigger,

but the rifle could have been
his and so could the hire.

The plan was to monitor
Phillip's communication

after the mention of AUTEC.

You did that,
you came up with nothing.

Sir, there is a
good possibility

that Wickes looking at
this picture was a tell.

I suggest that you press him
further, search his house...

No.

If he's involved...

I said no.

I'm not going to rest

this entire investigation
on a glance.

Maybe he was looking
past the photo,

through the wall,
down the street

to a church to ask God
what in the hell he did

to deserve this torture.

What then,
Dr. Ryan?

I'm done.

Get Wickes
in here.

Now.

[over speaker]:
Agent Gibbs, why am I here?

[sighing]

[sighing]

[door opens]

Clayton?

My God.

Bad information, Phil.

They got it wrong.

I'm sorry.

No, no, I-I'm,
I'm just so...

JARVIS:
Someone is trying
to blackmail me,

blackmail
the United States Navy.

Phil, they
think it's you.

Are you involved?

No.

He believes him.

You?

Yes.

[door opens]

[sighs]

Wickes say
anything else?

He signed a
nondisclosure agreement.

Oh, so he's being
cooperative?

Is that why
you came down here?

No, I came to see
what you were doing.

You mean you came
to gloat.

Oh, come on, Gibbs,
don't make me do it for you.

You thought
Wickes was innocent

the minute you left
that first interview,

and based on the lack of
evidence we have against him

and the indicators in the room
with Jarvis, you were right.

We need to focus
on Baylor.
No, no,

you need to say it.

We all thought he might
be clean; none of us knew

for sure.
I knew for sure.

That's why you need
to say it.

Say what?
That I was wrong,
Gibbs,

and I'm never wrong.

And today of all days,
I was wrong.

Today, Doc, is as
good a day as any.

[chuckles]

No, it's not.

I keep telling myself

Wickes looked
at this picture for a reason,

but he didn't.

Not once have I thought
this man anything but guilty.

[scoffs]
What kind of person
does that make me?

Human.

ELLIOTT:
Hey, Doc, your black belt

in badgering people
pays off once again.

Ridgeway's AUTEC report

sans redactions.

You find anything?In the late '70s,

Ridgeway was paid to keep quiet
about a classified technology

he inadvertently saw
while at AUTEC.

The report says the government
paid dozens of people off.

Cash makes people forget.

Yeah, well,

for 500K, I'd keep quiet, too,

even if I did see
little green men on a destroyer.

Anyway, Ridgeway knew the
money came from a pool

of government funds
used for AUTEC payoffs.

It's a off-books account that
hasn't been touched in decades.

But this money
has been accruing interest?

How much money?

TONY:
$327 million and change.

Boss, I'm seeing
multiple attempts

to hack into this account
over the last week.

It's got to be Amanda Baylor.

Baylor was hired
to steal the AUTEC file

andthis money?

Blackmail was a diversion.

It explains why they never

really said anything
that hurt us.

We're watching
the AUTEC files,

they have
a better shot

getting in and out
of the bank account

undetected.

It's all about
the Benjamins.

Well, it looks like
Baylor's taking another

stab at the account right now.

She's accessing remotely,
and she didn't bother burying

her IP so deep this time.

She did not expect us
to look for her there.

Right, I got her.

Getting a Wi-Fi ping.

Ziva, DiNozzo, go...

She's just off the I-95.

I'm texting you the coordinates.

Are you sure
this is the place?

Well, what happened?

You don't trust
the, uh, authority of McMaps?

[truck horn blows nearby]

[whispering]:
All right.

It's like Silence of the Lambs
meets Scooby-Doo.

Freeze! Hands up!

Do I look like I'm running?

Amanda Baylor, you have
the right... [sniffs]

to take a bath.

You smell like
a wild goat.

I've been busy.

Too busy for
personal hygiene?

When I am focused,
I am focused.

You know, McGee like them gamey,

but I'm not sure
he'd go for this one.

Oh, I clean up nice.

Why don't you put the computer
down and step out here?

Let's go,
Animal Kingdom.

Come on.

So, who are you working with?

Ah, um...

I don't know.

Well, we know some stuff

about the blackmail
and about the AUTEC account.

We also know that you're
in cahoots with someone

inside Wickes Steel.

Um...Did you just use

the word cahoots?

I did.

Nice.

All right, somebody hired me,

through Wickes,
but, uh, I don't have a name.

Didn't want one.

Was it Ridgeway?

Did you kill him?

I don't kill people.

I hack.

I haven't really left the van.

No kidding.

Next time, hacker,
why don't you crack a window?

This is all of Baylor's
computer hardware.

No sign of the rifle

used to shoot Ridgeway in
her van or in the apartment.

Abby, you do know

that AUTEC is just a facility
where they run tests, right?

No, Tim, it is a potluck

of the unexplained,

and this scientist is eating
it up; you know why?

Because there's a lot
of really important things

that can't be explained.

Like what, Abbs?Like Atlantis.

Like the disappearance
of the Lady Hampshire.

Like love.

Abbs...

I don't have
anything yet, Gibbs.

The computers just got here.

Well, maybe this stuff
will help.; it's all the files

we've compiled on
the case so far.

What are you doing?

[shutter clicks]

I'm taking a picture

of you with my map.

Trust me,

you will
thank me later.

Oh, I know that look.

I like that look.

The photo of Jarvis and Wickes,

where is it?

Right here, why?

What just happened?

Another unexplained phenomena.

Sometimes,

you just have to believe.

Who took the picture?

Haven't we already done this?

VANCE:
Gibbs,

be careful.

RYAN:
The tell.

Wickes looked at the picture

because of who was
behind the camera,

not in front of it.

Who took the
picture, sir?

[sighs]
Carl Dalton.

He used to go hunting with us.

Does he have a connection
to the company?

He's Wickes' half-brother

and in-house counsel
for Wickes Steel.

DALTON:
Phillip,

what's going on?

You said you were in trouble?

I'm not in trouble,
Carl, you are.

Please tell them
they're wrong.

Did you kill
Lawrence Ridgeway?

I'm sorry.

No.

You shot him?

It's my job to look out for you.

To look out for
this family.

People depend on me.

When they told me
about the rifle,

I thought...

but I didn't want
to believe it was you.

Ridgeway told me
about the account.

If that money disappeared,
and they came asking,

he would have pointed to me.

He was a loose end.

I had to protect us.

And why not

blackmail the Secretary
of the Navy while you're at it.

That was nothing ;
it was an empty threat.

It was a diversion.

Man is still dead.

But that AUTEC money
is just sitting there,

and we're about to
lose everything.

I did this for
both of us.

We needed it, Phillip.

Didn't we?

Didn't we?

Oh, no.

Vance nails you

with the shredding detail, huh?

Yes, from redacted to
unredacted to recycling to...

Tell me, I have a question.

Hmm?

Do you believe?

Believe in what?

[sighs]

Well,

unexplained things,

secrets,

occurrences that we're really
not supposed to talk about?

Oh.

Well...

I believe

that there are moments,
experiences

that someone like McGee,
with his trusty computer,

couldn't justify.

When Gibbs left tonight,

I... thought I saw it again.

Saw what?

The bounce.

You know,
I've been thinking about that.

Boss don't bounce.

You cannot expect a person

to keep things bottled up
inside forever,

can you?

RYAN:
Mm, charades.

Let's play.

Now?

[snorts]

It's as good a time as any.

[chuckles]

No.
Why not?

Because I don't
play games, Doc.

[laughs]

Like hell you don't.

You know, people keep looking
at their watch,

usually means they're worried
about something.

You got to run?

Oh, I've been running.

Maybe it's time you stopped?

I wish I could.

You can.

Parker can.

You have no idea.

You still want to play charades?

Yeah.

I got to go.

[laughs]
Really?

Mm-hmm.

Parker.

You know, I can help you,
Doc, with your ex.

[chuckles]

No, you can't.

Oh, yeah, I can.

I need to go home
and check my judgment.

It's about Wickes again?

You were right about the tell.

He looked at that photo
for a reason.

Yeah, he did.

That's not enough.

So, you were wrong
about the guy.

No one here likes you any less.

I want to stop running, Gibbs.

Really see the people around me

and not just blurs as I fly by.

Really see them.

I just don't know if I can.

Not yet.

I'm here, Doc.

I know.

[clears throat]
