from laughing so hard.

71
00:03:43,703 --> 00:03:45,837
So why is he coming here?
72
00:03:45,922 --> 00:03:48,006
Breena wanted us to bond
before the wedding.
73

his main problem
74
00:03:49,658 --> 00:03:51,293

Autopsy gremlin.
75
00:03:51,344 --> 00:03:54,129
Yeah, if we could keep that kind of
talk to a minimum while he's here?
76
00:03:54,180 --> 00:03:55,880
I say it with
the utmost respect.
77
00:03:55,965 --> 00:03:58,550
I know that, I know that,
but Ed doesn't.
78

You guys, he actually thinks
that I'm stuck
79
00:04:01,337 --> 00:04:04,055

which pays too little
80
00:04:04,140 --> 00:04:06,308

Desk clerk said he was in a

95
00:04:38,724 --> 00:04:39,874
For good reason,
96
00:04:39,925 --> 00:04:41,476
judging by those wounds.
97
00:04:41,543 --> 00:04:44,729
Blood spatter indicates that
he was standing about here
98
00:04:44,814 --> 00:04:46,731
when multiple gunshots
went through him.
99
00:04:46,816 --> 00:04:48,733
Looks like different calibers.
100
00:04:48,818 --> 00:04:49,934
Multiple weapons.
101
00:04:50,019 --> 00:04:51,436
Multiple shooters.
102
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,688
Guests did not hear anything
that sounded like gunshots.
103
00:04:53,739 --> 00:04:55,440
The gunmen must
have used silencers
104
00:04:55,524 --> 00:04:57,138
and no fingerprints or
evidence were left behind.
105
00:04:57,163 --> 00:04:58,363
Pro job.
106
00:04:58,661 --> 00:05:00,395
Humbug.
107
00:05:03,232 --> 00:05:07,035
25 bucks for valet parking.
Highway robbery.
108
00:05:07,086 --> 00:05:09,421
Actually, I wouldn't
rule out a highway robbery.
109
00:05:09,505 --> 00:05:11,089

passenger window's
110

111
00:05:14,427 --> 00:05:17,262
Bullet holes. Looks like
it's been sideswiped.
112
00:05:17,346 --> 00:05:19,180
Valet said they
found it this way.
113
00:05:19,248 --> 00:05:21,249

115
00:05:27,039 --> 00:05:28,973

Marine sea bag-- women's bra.
122
00:05:44,940 --> 00:05:47,709
Either our dead Navy captain was
having an identity crisis,
123
00:05:47,776 --> 00:05:49,461
or he wasn't traveling alone.
124
00:05:52,048 --> 00:05:55,250

in wrapping up the captain?
126
00:05:56,719 --> 00:06:00,672
I was premature in giving
Mr. Palmer the morning off.
127
00:06:03,125 --> 00:06:05,894
If that's the hotel manager,
tell him we won't take the body
128
00:06:05,961 --> 00:06:07,762

- Gibbs.
129
00:06:07,813 --> 00:06:10,682
The call's not coming
from inside the hotel.
130
00:06:10,766 --> 00:06:13,634
The area code--
that's northern Maryland.
131
00:06:17,806 --> 00:06:20,191

Navy Captain Jake Marsden.
Single, no family, well liked.
142
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,711
But according to his unit,
the only thing he made time for
143

was his job.
144
00:06:56,047 --> 00:06:57,247
Kind of sad, really.
145
00:06:57,298 --> 00:06:58,632
Precisely why you
should reconsider
146
00:06:58,716 --> 00:07:00,083
lunch with Wendy.
147
00:07:00,134 --> 00:07:02,386
McGee and I searched
148
00:07:02,453 --> 00:07:04,471
Marsden's car.
Nothing that I.D.'s
149
00:07:04,556 --> 00:07:05,923
the female travel companion.
150
00:07:05,974 --> 00:07:07,307
Perhaps she was
our mystery caller.
151
00:07:07,392 --> 00:07:08,725
McGee, hotel phone records.
152
00:07:08,793 --> 00:07:10,644
Prior to the murder,
our victim made
153
00:07:10,728 --> 00:07:12,729
one outgoing phone call
from the hotel room.
154
00:07:12,797 --> 00:07:14,420
To a cell phone registered
in his own name.
155
00:07:14,445 --> 00:07:15,298
You track it?
156
00:07:15,299 --> 00:07:17,300
- It's been turned off.
- Incoming to the room?
157
00:07:17,352 --> 00:07:18,769
I already ran
a back-trace.
158
00:07:18,837 --> 00:07:21,137
- The call to the hotel came from...
- Hiya, team.
159
00:07:21,189 --> 00:07:24,024
Just came to introduce my
future father-in-law Ed Slater.
160
00:07:27,111 --> 00:07:28,245
Is this a bad time?
161
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:33,600
Go ahead.
162
00:07:33,668 --> 00:07:35,402
Okay. Ed?
163
00:07:35,470 --> 00:07:39,590
This... uh, Mr. Slater, this
is our fearless leader,
164
00:07:39,657 --> 00:07:41,625
Special Agent
Leroy Jethro Gibbs.

Over here we have Special Agent
Anthony "Tony" DiNozzo.
166
00:07:46,381 --> 00:07:48,181
Stop speaking, James.
I don't need their dossiers.
167
00:07:48,266 --> 00:07:49,967
Only here for
a few hours.
168
00:07:50,018 --> 00:07:51,668
But what a pleasure.
169
00:07:51,719 --> 00:07:53,604
Welcome to NCIS, Mr. Slater.
170
00:07:53,671 --> 00:07:55,556
- Ah!
- Can't say enough
171
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,674
about your future son-in-law
and his work ethic here.
172
00:07:57,725 --> 00:07:59,476
Yes, well, that's why I'm here,
isn't it?
173
00:07:59,527 --> 00:08:01,028
To make sure that if my daughter
174
00:08:01,112 --> 00:08:03,363
marries James, she gets him,
not the bureaucratic baggage
175
00:08:03,431 --> 00:08:05,683
that comes with
a government job, you know?
176
00:08:05,708 --> 00:08:06,433
No.
177
00:08:06,434 --> 00:08:08,235
- No?
- No.
178
00:08:08,319 --> 00:08:10,588
I'm sorry, did you just say
"if she marries him"?
179
00:08:10,613 --> 00:08:11,572
Big if.
180
00:08:11,573 --> 00:08:14,190
Let me ask you something,
Special Super Agent Gibbs.
181
00:08:14,242 --> 00:08:16,159
Are you the only team leader
182
00:08:16,210 --> 00:08:17,911
who makes his folks
work Christmas Eve?
183
00:08:17,996 --> 00:08:20,247
I guess when Uncle Sam calls
184
00:08:20,315 --> 00:08:22,633
you answer, even when
he calls collect.
185
00:08:24,919 --> 00:08:27,037
I think we've seen
all we should in
186
00:08:27,088 --> 00:08:28,255
the squad room.
187
00:08:28,339 --> 00:08:30,340
Why don't I show you...
anyplace else?
188
00:08:31,342 --> 00:08:33,143
I'm so sorry.
189
00:08:34,395 --> 00:08:35,729
He's a pleasant man.
190
00:08:37,649 --> 00:08:39,416
McGee, phone call to the hotel.
191
00:08:39,484 --> 00:08:41,818
Traced the number.
The call came from
192
00:08:41,886 --> 00:08:44,237
a courtesy phone at an outlet
mall in Fillmore, Maryland.
193
00:08:44,322 --> 00:08:45,939
That's two hours from here.
194
00:08:46,007 --> 00:08:47,741
If our mystery woman
was at the hotel,
195
00:08:47,825 --> 00:08:49,943
how did she get out there?
- Find her. Find out.
196
00:08:50,011 --> 00:08:54,047
Pulling mall
security footage now.
197
00:08:54,115 --> 00:08:56,166
A visit
to the national Christmas tree
198
00:08:56,233 --> 00:08:58,035
followed by a production
of The Nutcracker
199
00:08:58,086 --> 00:08:59,569
at the Kennedy Center.
200
00:08:59,621 --> 00:09:04,708
Sadly, Captain, your visit to
D.C. was, well, much too brief
201
00:09:04,759 --> 00:09:08,295
to enjoy our city's
holiday fare.
202
00:09:08,379 --> 00:09:09,796
He always talk
to himself?
203
00:09:09,881 --> 00:09:13,734
Actually, Mr. Slater, I am
conversing with our victim.
204
00:09:13,801 --> 00:09:15,728
Well, it's a waste of
time. In my experience,
205
00:09:15,753 --> 00:09:17,053
the dead are dead.
206
00:09:17,055 --> 00:09:19,422
And what experience
would that be?
207
00:09:19,474 --> 00:09:21,591
Ed owns a funeral home.
208
00:09:21,643 --> 00:09:24,561
I guess that is where Breena got
her passion for embalming, huh?
209
00:09:24,612 --> 00:09:27,698
- I always used to tell her...
- You're speaking again, James.
210
00:09:27,765 --> 00:09:30,984
Uh, I'm a professional
mortician, Dr. Mallard.
211
00:09:31,069 --> 00:09:33,028
Then you should know
that everybody has a
212
00:09:33,053 --> 00:09:34,553
unique story to tell
213
00:09:34,589 --> 00:09:36,657
if asked the right questions.
214
00:09:36,741 --> 00:09:40,443
Maybe, but, uh, as much
as you talk, this poor guy
215
00:09:40,495 --> 00:09:42,629
can hardly get
a word in edgewise.
216
00:09:42,714 --> 00:09:44,915

217
00:09:46,634 --> 00:09:50,203
I think it best if you two
wait outside.
218
00:09:50,271 --> 00:09:51,371
Yeah, I'll second that.
219
00:09:51,439 --> 00:09:52,556
- Look, why...
- Motion carries.
220
00:09:52,623 --> 00:09:55,042
Lot of things to see.
This is fun, huh?
221
00:09:55,109 --> 00:09:56,760

Confirmation of cause of death.

And this-- when I took off
224
00:10:00,862 --> 00:10:03,107

separate SUV's.

of the license numbers.

They tried to run us
off the road.
352
00:16:08,365 --> 00:16:10,150
I cut my hand
when the window broke.
353

00:16:11,502 --> 00:16:13,837
But I started feeling woozy,
so we went to the hotel.
355
00:16:13,921 --> 00:16:15,989
When Jake didn't come
down, I knew that I had
356
00:16:16,014 --> 00:16:17,214
to get out of there.
357
00:16:17,324 --> 00:16:19,793
Why didn't you
call the police?
358
00:16:19,844 --> 00:16:21,690
If these guys were government,
359
00:16:21,715 --> 00:16:24,488
they would send local LEOs
looking for us, too.
360
00:16:24,632 --> 00:16:27,801
I don't know what this is about
or how far up this goes.
361
00:16:27,852 --> 00:16:30,637
Well, you can trust us.
362
00:16:32,556 --> 00:16:34,691
Thank you.
363
00:16:34,775 --> 00:16:38,278
Where's the father now?
364
00:16:38,345 --> 00:16:40,430
The baby's father's dead?
365
00:16:40,498 --> 00:16:44,317
Yes. Amir Mayat died in an IED
explosion back in May.
366
00:16:44,368 --> 00:16:48,020
Says here, Lieutenant Reynolds
went on leave
367
00:16:48,072 --> 00:16:49,289
after the incident.
368
00:16:49,356 --> 00:16:50,657
What about the in-laws?
369
00:16:50,708 --> 00:16:52,892
I mean, they must have
some interest in the child.
370
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,627
According to her statement,
371
00:16:54,695 --> 00:16:57,113
she and Amir kept the pregnancy
a secret from his family.
372
00:16:57,181 --> 00:17:00,049
You know, Agent McGee, all of
this is in her personnel file.
373
00:17:00,134 --> 00:17:01,968
You don't need me
to read it to you.
374
00:17:02,035 --> 00:17:03,035
Hang on.
375
00:17:08,542 --> 00:17:10,677
What is it you
really want to know?
376
00:17:10,744 --> 00:17:14,831
Is that file the only record
DOD has on Lieutenant Reynolds?
377
00:17:14,899 --> 00:17:17,350
- What do you mean?
- Someone's having her followed.
378
00:17:17,401 --> 00:17:20,687
You think it's us?
We're DOD, not CIA.
379
00:17:20,738 --> 00:17:23,006
We don't usually
do that kind of thing.
380
00:17:23,073 --> 00:17:24,090
Usually.
381
00:17:24,158 --> 00:17:25,625
Why would we care
what Reynolds does
382
00:17:25,693 --> 00:17:26,993
on her maternity leave?
383
00:17:27,060 --> 00:17:28,661
We have reason to believe
that three gunmen
384
00:17:28,729 --> 00:17:31,080
using vehicles registered
to the DOD
385
00:17:31,165 --> 00:17:34,250
murdered a Navy captain and are
now after the Lieutenant.
386
00:17:34,335 --> 00:17:36,068
What are you suggesting?
387
00:17:36,120 --> 00:17:38,571
Do you know how many vehicles
we have registered in this city?
388
00:17:38,622 --> 00:17:40,840
Thousands. They get stolen
all the time.
389
00:17:40,908 --> 00:17:43,426
I'd be happy to check
our database for you.
390
00:17:43,511 --> 00:17:44,878
I understand that, sir,
391
00:17:44,929 --> 00:17:46,246
but you're not answering
my question.
392
00:17:46,313 --> 00:17:48,381
Is Lieutenant Reynolds
on your radar?
393
00:17:48,432 --> 00:17:50,667
Agent McGee, the only thing
on my radar right now
394
00:17:50,734 --> 00:17:51,968
is Santa Claus.
395
00:17:52,052 --> 00:17:55,054
I understand, sir.
But you will let us know
396
00:17:55,105 --> 00:17:57,473
if you find out anything
on Lieutenant Reynolds?
397
00:17:57,558 --> 00:18:01,694
Even if I did, I couldn't tell
you without authorization.
398
00:18:01,762 --> 00:18:03,746
Feliz Navidad.
399
00:18:08,179 --> 00:18:09,011
Yeah, Abbs.
400
00:18:09,036 --> 00:18:10,482
Gibbs, what are you
still doing there?
401
00:18:10,788 --> 00:18:13,990
The snow is falling faster
than my holiday spirit.
402
00:18:14,074 --> 00:18:16,743
There's a pregnant Marine
being hunted on Christmas.
403
00:18:16,794 --> 00:18:18,077
Heaven and nature
are not singing.
404
00:18:18,128 --> 00:18:19,295
Well, I'm waiting on intel
405
00:18:19,380 --> 00:18:20,580
and an escort
from state troopers.
406
00:18:20,631 --> 00:18:21,915
Just tell me what you got.
407
00:18:21,966 --> 00:18:23,967
Background on Lieutenant
Reynolds' baby daddy--
408
00:18:24,051 --> 00:18:26,886
Amir Mayat--
and he is not a poor farmer.
409
00:18:26,954 --> 00:18:30,807
The Mayat tribe controls a
massive and critical land parcel
410
00:18:30,891 --> 00:18:32,892
just outside of Kabul.
- Family's wealthy.
411
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,293
Extremely. And Amir
412
00:18:34,345 --> 00:18:35,812
was the sole male heir.
413
00:18:35,896 --> 00:18:37,647
Until he was killed.
414
00:18:37,731 --> 00:18:39,928
Yes. And if Emma has
a boy, then...
415
00:18:39,953 --> 00:18:41,153
The kid inherits everything.
416
00:18:41,652 --> 00:18:42,735
Practically royalty.
417
00:18:42,803 --> 00:18:44,604
At least extremely valuable.
418
00:18:44,655 --> 00:18:46,773
Well, that explains why the
Lieutenant's still alive.
419
00:18:46,824 --> 00:18:48,491
Oh, yeah, yeah.
They don't want her dead.
420
00:18:48,576 --> 00:18:49,826
They want the baby alive.
421
00:18:49,910 --> 00:18:51,828
It does not explain
DOD's involvement.
422
00:18:51,912 --> 00:18:53,279
This might, boss.
423
00:18:53,330 --> 00:18:56,115
- What, McGee?
- I did some digging.
424
00:18:56,166 --> 00:18:58,034
I tunneled under the DOD
firewall.
425
00:18:58,118 --> 00:19:00,620
Turns out U.S. military forces
in Afghanistan
426
00:19:00,671 --> 00:19:04,123
are trying to build a trade
highway through Mayat land.
427
00:19:04,174 --> 00:19:06,158
It's vital
for fighting insurgents
428
00:19:06,210 --> 00:19:07,794
and stopping weapons shipments.
429
00:19:07,845 --> 00:19:10,713
And the tribal elders
aren't cooperating.
430
00:19:10,798 --> 00:19:12,799
Which is costing the DOD
millions of dollars.
431
00:19:12,850 --> 00:19:15,334
And if the project goes under,
they lose even more.
432
00:19:15,386 --> 00:19:16,836
Well, they need
a bargaining chip.
433
00:19:16,887 --> 00:19:18,137
The little baby heir.
434
00:19:18,188 --> 00:19:20,390
By birthright, he'll be
the head of the Mayat tribe.
435
00:19:20,474 --> 00:19:22,375
They have the kid,
they have the land.
436
00:19:22,443 --> 00:19:23,743
Can we prove it?
437
00:19:23,811 --> 00:19:25,895
Well, I still can't find
anything concrete
438
00:19:25,980 --> 00:19:27,647
connecting the DOD
and our three kings.
439
00:19:27,698 --> 00:19:28,865
Keep looking.
440
00:19:41,712 --> 00:19:43,379
How long have they
been back there?
441
00:19:45,499 --> 00:19:47,199
Not long enough.
442
00:19:47,251 --> 00:19:49,585
Door.
443
00:19:49,670 --> 00:19:51,421
I can't hear a
word they're saying.
444
00:19:51,505 --> 00:19:53,723
Well, if you hadn't made that
remark about her tattoos,
445
00:19:53,807 --> 00:19:55,308
we wouldn't be in time out.
446
00:19:56,543 --> 00:19:58,261
I still got six minutes left.
447
00:20:01,649 --> 00:20:04,017
You do know that there are jobs
in the private sector
448
00:20:04,068 --> 00:20:06,352
where you could
make twice as much money
449
00:20:06,403 --> 00:20:08,771
and still be home
by 6:00, right?
450
00:20:08,856 --> 00:20:10,857
Hadn't really thought
about that.
451
00:20:10,908 --> 00:20:14,060
Well, maybe you should start.
452
00:20:17,865 --> 00:20:19,615
And all I said to her
453
00:20:19,700 --> 00:20:23,453
was that girls with tattoos
are easy. Everyone knows that.
454
00:20:25,706 --> 00:20:27,006
Is something
wrong, Agent Gibbs?
455
00:20:27,074 --> 00:20:29,292
- What did you find out?
- I'll tell you on the way out.
456
00:20:29,376 --> 00:20:31,243
Car's out back, boss. They
started closing the highways.
457
00:20:31,295 --> 00:20:32,762
It's not going to open
till the morning.
458
00:20:32,846 --> 00:20:34,246
Looks like we're
on our own.
459
00:20:34,298 --> 00:20:35,915
Back roads? What if
someone follows us?
460
00:20:35,966 --> 00:20:37,800
Can't wait any longer.
I want a weapon.
461
00:20:37,885 --> 00:20:39,585
You don't need one.
You got us.
462
00:20:39,636 --> 00:20:42,388
Don't patronize me.
I was the top shot in my platoon.
463
00:20:42,439 --> 00:20:44,757
You think Deputy Dog's
ever seen actual combat?
464
00:20:44,808 --> 00:20:47,477
- I did three tours.
- Where is Barney Fife anyway?
465
00:20:47,561 --> 00:20:49,479
I thought he was
out back with you.
466
00:21:01,291 --> 00:21:03,076
I'm sorry.
467
00:21:03,127 --> 00:21:04,160
Shut up!
468
00:21:04,244 --> 00:21:05,795
- He came out of nowhere.
- Shut up!
469
00:21:05,879 --> 00:21:06,913
He's one of the three.
470
00:21:06,964 --> 00:21:08,331
NCIS. Let him go.
471
00:21:08,415 --> 00:21:09,499
Give me the woman!
472
00:21:09,583 --> 00:21:11,134
No, it's not going to happen.
473
00:21:11,218 --> 00:21:12,467
I don't want to hurt him.
474
00:21:12,492 --> 00:21:13,897
I know exactly
what you want.
475
00:21:14,287 --> 00:21:15,338
Drop your weapon.
476
00:21:15,422 --> 00:21:17,757
You are in no position
to make demands.
477
00:21:17,808 --> 00:21:20,176
I'm not, but she is.
478
00:21:22,012 --> 00:21:24,013
Unless you want to die
today, put it down.
479
00:21:25,983 --> 00:21:28,067
Now!
480
00:21:29,903 --> 00:21:31,437
DiNozzo, you and the deputy
take him back.
481
00:21:31,488 --> 00:21:32,805
We got the Lieutenant.
482
00:21:32,856 --> 00:21:34,524
All right, meet you back
at the Navy yard.
483
00:21:34,608 --> 00:21:36,308
On it, boss.
484
00:21:40,247 --> 00:21:42,165
What's that all about?
485
00:21:42,249 --> 00:21:43,499
Hedge trimmer accident?
486
00:21:43,584 --> 00:21:46,169
- Proof.
- Of what?
487
00:21:46,253 --> 00:21:47,670
Nerve.
488
00:21:47,755 --> 00:21:50,489
Initiation ritual common
in Russian prison gangs.
489
00:21:50,541 --> 00:21:53,376
Any of your other friends
missing fingers?
490
00:21:53,460 --> 00:21:54,883
You will see for yourself.
491
00:21:54,884 --> 00:21:55,955
What does that mean?
492
00:21:55,980 --> 00:21:57,180
Means we're getting the hell
out of here.
493
00:21:58,632 --> 00:22:00,433
Watch your head.
494
00:22:11,941 --> 00:22:13,392
Ah, there you are.
495
00:22:13,476 --> 00:22:17,062
I hear the team is on its
way back with a suspect.
496
00:22:17,146 --> 00:22:19,197
Have you heard
anything more?
497
00:22:19,282 --> 00:22:20,615
No.
498
00:22:20,683 --> 00:22:22,651
Just been waiting on Ed.
499
00:22:26,122 --> 00:22:27,823
What's the matter, Mr. Palmer?
500
00:22:29,525 --> 00:22:31,660
- Just a bit overwhelmed,
- I guess.
501
00:22:34,196 --> 00:22:37,132
My own father was only
ever encouraging to me
502
00:22:37,199 --> 00:22:38,383
no matter what I did.
503
00:22:38,468 --> 00:22:40,752
And Ed, Ed is like
504
00:22:40,837 --> 00:22:43,088
Ebenezer Scrooge at the
beginning of the book.
505
00:22:43,172 --> 00:22:44,890
A bit of advice.
506
00:22:44,974 --> 00:22:49,711
Don't let the disparaging
remarks of a myopic individual
507
00:22:49,762 --> 00:22:51,430
influence your life.
508
00:22:51,514 --> 00:22:52,681
See, that's just it.
509
00:22:52,732 --> 00:22:54,399
He finally said
something nice to me.
510
00:22:54,484 --> 00:22:55,400
Really?
511
00:22:55,485 --> 00:22:57,102
He offered me a job
512
00:22:57,186 --> 00:22:58,687
at his funeral home.
513
00:22:58,738 --> 00:23:02,557
He said that Breena and I
could work together.
514
00:23:02,608 --> 00:23:04,192
Eventually take
over the business.
515
00:23:04,243 --> 00:23:06,745
Really?
516
00:23:06,829 --> 00:23:08,914
Is that what you want?
517
00:23:08,998 --> 00:23:10,398
Me? No.
518
00:23:10,450 --> 00:23:11,833
No, I love NCIS.
519
00:23:11,901 --> 00:23:14,453
But I want to
make Breena happy.
520
00:23:14,537 --> 00:23:18,707
Doctor... what if this
is the only way?
521
00:23:18,758 --> 00:23:24,212
Breena will be happy
if you are happy.
522
00:23:25,932 --> 00:23:28,583
Tell that to Mister Ed.
523
00:23:38,044 --> 00:23:40,695
Russian mercenaries want
to take my unborn child
524
00:23:40,763 --> 00:23:43,365
because he's the only heir
to land in Afghanistan?
525
00:23:43,432 --> 00:23:45,700
We believe the gunmen may
have been hired by someone
526
00:23:45,768 --> 00:23:46,868
inside the government.
527
00:23:46,936 --> 00:23:48,036
Why?
528
00:23:48,103 --> 00:23:49,938
Because that land
may be key
529
00:23:49,989 --> 00:23:52,124
in winning
or losing Afghanistan.
530
00:23:52,208 --> 00:23:54,409
I'm starting to understand
531
00:23:54,460 --> 00:23:57,379
why Amir distanced himself
from his family.
532
00:23:58,965 --> 00:24:00,248
What happened?
533
00:24:00,299 --> 00:24:03,468
Is it the engine?
534
00:24:03,553 --> 00:24:04,953
The Russians.
535
00:24:07,757 --> 00:24:10,475
There is no signal out here.
536
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,628
There's a light up ahead.
537
00:24:38,988 --> 00:24:40,321
Oh, God.
538
00:24:43,092 --> 00:24:44,793
Ugh!
539
00:24:44,844 --> 00:24:47,128
Do you think we can fix it?
540
00:24:47,180 --> 00:24:49,548
I don't think
we've got a choice.
541
00:24:49,632 --> 00:24:51,216
I saw a garage around back.
542
00:24:51,300 --> 00:24:52,300
I'll help push.
543
00:24:58,641 --> 00:25:00,008
Don't push.
544
00:25:11,153 --> 00:25:13,071
You guys are
still here, huh?
545
00:25:13,155 --> 00:25:14,656
Huh. Well, I'm Ed's ride,
546
00:25:14,707 --> 00:25:16,408
and technically
I'm still on duty, so...
547
00:25:16,492 --> 00:25:18,043
Duty.
548
00:25:19,695 --> 00:25:20,695
Hey.
549
00:25:20,746 --> 00:25:22,163
Any word from Gibbs?
550
00:25:22,215 --> 00:25:24,883
Not yet. What do you think's
taking them so long?
551
00:25:24,967 --> 00:25:26,635
I don't know.
We left separately.
552
00:25:26,702 --> 00:25:28,053
Must have taken
a different route.
553
00:25:28,137 --> 00:25:30,388
Could have hit bad weather.
Did you try calling him?
554
00:25:30,473 --> 00:25:32,090
Abby's been calling his
cell every five minutes.
555
00:25:32,174 --> 00:25:35,560
Nothing. And the land lines are down
from here to Baltimore due to ice.
556
00:25:35,645 --> 00:25:37,062
Lucky we still
have Internet.
557
00:25:37,146 --> 00:25:38,930
Find anything to finger
our fingerless man?
558
00:25:39,015 --> 00:25:40,982
I ran his remaining prints.
559
00:25:41,050 --> 00:25:43,184
Name is Veli Tupolev.
560
00:25:43,236 --> 00:25:44,519
No record in the States
561
00:25:44,570 --> 00:25:46,238
but Interpol's
a different story.
562
00:25:46,322 --> 00:25:47,739
Let me guess--
a trained mercenary
563
00:25:47,823 --> 00:25:49,741
who's used to hard
Russian winters
564
00:25:49,825 --> 00:25:51,559
and even harder
Russian prisons?
565
00:25:51,611 --> 00:25:53,945
Pretty much. How do you
want to break him?
566
00:25:54,030 --> 00:25:55,747
Well...
567
00:26:03,873 --> 00:26:06,291
What? I was hungry.
568
00:26:06,375 --> 00:26:07,709
Didn't know I'd be held hostage.
569
00:26:09,929 --> 00:26:11,046
Wait a second.
570
00:26:12,848 --> 00:26:15,750
Are those Hollander's homemade
Christmas cookies from HR?
571
00:26:15,801 --> 00:26:17,519
Did she make molasses this year?
572
00:26:17,586 --> 00:26:20,939
She did, and they were good.
573
00:26:21,023 --> 00:26:23,141
We're gonna need
to commandeer these.
574
00:26:23,225 --> 00:26:24,309
Police business.
575
00:26:24,393 --> 00:26:26,394
I think I have a way
to break our Bad Santa.
576
00:26:26,445 --> 00:26:28,596
With what, cookies?
577
00:26:28,648 --> 00:26:30,598
What are you gonna do,
sugarboard him?
578
00:26:30,650 --> 00:26:33,234
Thought you said
they were pros.
579
00:26:44,780 --> 00:26:46,381
Injector rail was damaged.
580
00:26:46,448 --> 00:26:49,384
Fuel leaked into the manifold
and caught fire.
581
00:26:49,451 --> 00:26:52,220
Yeah, I'm gonna have to try
and redo some wiring.
582
00:26:52,287 --> 00:26:54,222
I'll see what they got.
583
00:26:54,289 --> 00:26:56,091
Mm-hmm.
584
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,294
The phones are still out,
but I'll keep checking.
585
00:27:00,346 --> 00:27:02,463
Or if you want
any help in there,
586
00:27:02,515 --> 00:27:04,182
I know my way
around a car.
587
00:27:04,266 --> 00:27:05,433
Well, sit down. Rest.
588
00:27:05,484 --> 00:27:07,152
Have some fluids.
589
00:27:07,236 --> 00:27:08,853
No. I already did.
590
00:27:08,938 --> 00:27:10,939
I-I left a couple of bucks
on the register.
591
00:27:10,990 --> 00:27:12,941
Felt weird just to take it.
592
00:27:17,312 --> 00:27:20,248
Hey.
593
00:27:20,315 --> 00:27:22,000
Don't worry about it;
it's gonna be fine.
594
00:27:22,084 --> 00:27:24,119
This is not exactly
the Christmas Eve
595
00:27:24,170 --> 00:27:26,121
that I had planned on,
Agent Gibbs.
596
00:27:26,172 --> 00:27:30,925
Actually, I hadn't
planned on any of this.
597
00:27:30,993 --> 00:27:35,046
Amir... the baby... people
trying to steal him.
598
00:27:35,131 --> 00:27:36,481
Him?
599
00:27:36,549 --> 00:27:38,216
I thought you said
you didn't know.
600
00:27:38,300 --> 00:27:40,885
I don't, but I can tell.
601
00:27:42,772 --> 00:27:44,689
Oh, and judging by the way
602
00:27:44,774 --> 00:27:45,996
he's punching
and kicking me right now...
603
00:27:45,997 --> 00:27:46,703
Come on.
604
00:27:46,728 --> 00:27:47,928
...I think he's gonna
be a Marine, too.
605
00:27:48,728 --> 00:27:50,695
- Sit down.
- Whew.
606
00:27:52,865 --> 00:27:55,516
I just wanted to be a Marine.
607
00:27:59,021 --> 00:28:00,955
I guess someone else
had other plans.
608
00:28:01,023 --> 00:28:03,825
Yeah. Wouldn't
be the first time.
609
00:28:05,211 --> 00:28:07,162
Do you have kids,
Agent Gibbs?
610
00:28:07,213 --> 00:28:08,963
Had a daughter.
611
00:28:09,031 --> 00:28:11,800
Were you there
when she was born?
612
00:28:11,867 --> 00:28:14,035
Deployed.
613
00:28:16,055 --> 00:28:19,507
Well, I guess I kind of have
to be there for mine.
614
00:28:19,558 --> 00:28:21,375
Not that I'm complaining.
615
00:28:21,427 --> 00:28:23,812
It's just... I might be...
616
00:28:23,879 --> 00:28:26,264
Scared?
617
00:28:26,348 --> 00:28:28,650
The hell you say?
618
00:28:28,717 --> 00:28:30,318
It's all right if you are.
619
00:28:30,385 --> 00:28:31,886
Not according to the Corps.
620
00:28:31,937 --> 00:28:34,689
That's what I like
about being a Marine.
621
00:28:34,740 --> 00:28:36,441
The procedures.
The code.
622
00:28:36,525 --> 00:28:39,994
I like having a measurable
set of expectations.
623
00:28:40,062 --> 00:28:43,748
I could always tell how good
I was doing, but with this...
624
00:28:43,833 --> 00:28:46,000
how do I know?
625
00:28:46,068 --> 00:28:48,453
You don't.
626
00:28:48,537 --> 00:28:51,790
But you'll be able to tell.
627
00:28:52,842 --> 00:28:54,325
Mm.
628
00:28:54,393 --> 00:28:56,845
Right now, I think
this guy is telling me
629
00:28:56,912 --> 00:28:58,913
that it's time to eat.
630
00:28:58,964 --> 00:29:00,248
Well...
631
00:29:00,299 --> 00:29:03,301
in that case...
632
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:06,438
Mmm!
633
00:29:06,522 --> 00:29:07,689
This one's on me.
634
00:29:12,194 --> 00:29:13,761
Thank you.
635
00:29:18,984 --> 00:29:22,120
You know, Wendy used to make
the most kick-ass snickerdoodle.
636
00:29:22,204 --> 00:29:26,458
I'm going to start with a series
of true or false statements
637
00:29:26,542 --> 00:29:28,376
Mm-hmm.
to give us a baseline.
638
00:29:28,443 --> 00:29:30,128
What are you talking about?
639
00:29:30,212 --> 00:29:32,380
Just think of it as like
a lie detector test
640
00:29:32,447 --> 00:29:33,381
with cookies.
641
00:29:33,448 --> 00:29:34,999
You just have to
sit there and eat.
642
00:29:35,084 --> 00:29:38,136
Okay, here we go.
643
00:29:38,220 --> 00:29:39,754
Your hair is purple.
644
00:29:45,744 --> 00:29:47,762
You have all your fingers.
645
00:29:50,232 --> 00:29:53,184
You were following
Lieutenant Emma Reynolds
646
00:29:53,269 --> 00:29:55,520
with the intention
of abducting her baby.
647
00:29:58,357 --> 00:29:59,524
Oh, hesitation.
648
00:29:59,608 --> 00:30:00,859
I see the
hesitation.
649
00:30:00,943 --> 00:30:02,026
- Yeah, he did.
- Yeah.
650
00:30:02,111 --> 00:30:03,912
Confirming hesitation.
651
00:30:03,979 --> 00:30:05,747
No, no, I did not hesitate.
652
00:30:05,814 --> 00:30:07,081
I don't know what
you're talking about.
653
00:30:07,149 --> 00:30:08,983
You sure about that?
654
00:30:11,871 --> 00:30:14,005
You've never
committed a crime.
655
00:30:16,292 --> 00:30:19,260
Your favorite
color is pink.
656
00:30:19,328 --> 00:30:20,762
You were hired by someone
657
00:30:20,829 --> 00:30:22,964
at the United States Department
of Defense.
658
00:30:28,837 --> 00:30:31,973
So you really are working
for the government!
659
00:30:32,024 --> 00:30:35,026
No. I don't know what
you're talking about.
660
00:30:35,110 --> 00:30:37,262
Sure about that?
661
00:30:37,329 --> 00:30:40,698
So then you must be working for
the Mayat tribe in Afghanistan.
662
00:30:45,788 --> 00:30:47,655
I'll take that as a yes.
663
00:30:47,706 --> 00:30:49,657
- No.
- I just choke on cookie.
664
00:30:49,708 --> 00:30:51,359
It does not
mean anything.
665
00:30:51,410 --> 00:30:52,911
Oh, it speaks volumes.
666
00:30:52,995 --> 00:30:55,630
This is stupid!
667
00:30:55,697 --> 00:30:57,966
You're just trying to mess
with my head!
668
00:30:58,033 --> 00:31:01,535
Then why are you getting
so upset if it isn't true?
669
00:31:01,587 --> 00:31:03,838
If the family hired you,
670
00:31:03,889 --> 00:31:06,174
then they must have
found out about the baby.
671
00:31:06,225 --> 00:31:08,676
They need an heir
to keep their land.
672
00:31:12,314 --> 00:31:14,215
Not the frosted cutouts.
673
00:31:17,386 --> 00:31:19,404
I will stop eating cookies.
674
00:31:20,990 --> 00:31:23,575
Your prepaid cell
we found on you.
675
00:31:23,659 --> 00:31:25,893
How are you communicating
with your other two associates?
676
00:31:25,945 --> 00:31:27,851
The only number stored
on your contacts list
677
00:31:27,876 --> 00:31:29,076
is six numbers long.
678
00:31:29,915 --> 00:31:32,166
You're always missing a couple
of digits, aren't you?
679
00:31:33,902 --> 00:31:35,536
Well, maybe that's
not a mistake.
680
00:31:35,588 --> 00:31:36,921
Maybe it's something else.
681
00:31:38,390 --> 00:31:39,908
Coordinates?
682
00:31:39,975 --> 00:31:41,509
Code? Password?
683
00:31:41,576 --> 00:31:44,712
Radio frequency?
684
00:31:44,763 --> 00:31:46,514
Radio frequency.
685
00:31:51,236 --> 00:31:52,553
I'm gonna go
with radio frequency.
686
00:31:53,973 --> 00:31:55,974
You will never get it now.
687
00:31:56,058 --> 00:31:58,026
We wrote it down, genius.
688
00:31:58,093 --> 00:31:59,360
If they're using
radio systems,
689
00:31:59,428 --> 00:32:01,529
we should be able to
pick up some chatter.
690
00:32:06,435 --> 00:32:07,702
Okay, try it.
691
00:32:09,771 --> 00:32:11,439
Hey.
692
00:32:16,712 --> 00:32:17,996
Try it again.
693
00:32:19,915 --> 00:32:21,165
Given the parts available,
694
00:32:21,250 --> 00:32:23,617
this could prove
to be a problem.
695
00:32:23,669 --> 00:32:26,620
Aah... that's not
our only problem.
696
00:32:26,672 --> 00:32:28,056
My water just broke.
697
00:32:28,123 --> 00:32:29,557
I'm going into labor.
698
00:32:32,061 --> 00:32:34,679
Ooh-rah?
699
00:32:44,816 --> 00:32:46,665
It's good to know you no longer
think the government's
700
00:32:46,666 --> 00:32:48,917
hunting a pregnant woman,
Agent DiNozzo, but I'm afraid
701
00:32:48,968 --> 00:32:51,619
I can't help you apprehend
the Afghan in-laws that are.
702
00:32:51,671 --> 00:32:53,221
It is Christmas Eve, sir.
703
00:32:53,289 --> 00:32:55,640
Well, that gift would have
to come from CENTCOM
704
00:32:55,641 --> 00:32:57,788
and about 14 other people
above my pay grade.
705
00:32:57,789 --> 00:32:58,593
Yeah.
706
00:32:58,594 --> 00:33:00,178
Let me guess--
it'd be wrapped in red tape?
707
00:33:00,263 --> 00:33:01,263
Thanks for nothing.
708
00:33:02,682 --> 00:33:05,767
Got something from
our gunman's radio frequency.
709
00:33:07,368 --> 00:33:08,399
And given the weak
710
00:33:08,424 --> 00:33:09,947
signal, they got to be
at least 40 miles away.
711
00:33:09,972 --> 00:33:11,656
- Where are you?
- Not too far.
712
00:33:11,741 --> 00:33:14,642
Meet me. Petrol station
outside Ridgeville. Now.
713
00:33:14,694 --> 00:33:16,478
Sounds like Russians to me.
714
00:33:16,546 --> 00:33:17,913
Searching for gas stations
715
00:33:17,980 --> 00:33:20,115
near Ridgeville, Maryland.
Pretty small town.
716
00:33:20,166 --> 00:33:22,617
All right, I got a hit
on a single service station
717
00:33:22,668 --> 00:33:24,786
alongside
State Route 15.
718
00:33:24,837 --> 00:33:26,872
Only one reason our gunmen
would go there.
719
00:33:26,956 --> 00:33:28,006
- Gibbs.
- Gibbs.
720
00:33:28,090 --> 00:33:29,174
They're in trouble.
721
00:33:29,258 --> 00:33:31,376
It could be where
they're holed up.
722
00:33:39,501 --> 00:33:41,303
You find Agent Gibbs?
723
00:33:41,354 --> 00:33:42,439
That's what we're
gonna find out.
724
00:33:42,764 --> 00:33:43,964
Hey.
725
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,975
Put it
in gear, McGee.
726
00:33:48,477 --> 00:33:50,395
Good luck.
727
00:33:50,479 --> 00:33:52,680
Yeah. Good luck.
728
00:33:53,783 --> 00:33:56,735
Why in the world would
you say it like that?
729
00:33:56,819 --> 00:33:59,687
Wh-Why? The weather,
the road closures,
730
00:33:59,739 --> 00:34:01,289
'cause they're never
gonna make it.
731
00:34:01,357 --> 00:34:02,908
How the hell would you know?
732
00:34:02,992 --> 00:34:04,525
They're trained agents.
733
00:34:04,577 --> 00:34:06,328
Well...
734
00:34:06,379 --> 00:34:08,496
You might not respect me
735
00:34:08,547 --> 00:34:09,998
or what it is
we do here,
736
00:34:10,049 --> 00:34:12,384
but you have got to respect
that fact that these people--
737
00:34:12,468 --> 00:34:15,536
my people--
are risking their lives!
738
00:34:15,588 --> 00:34:18,873
Well, if you're gonna
put it like that...
739
00:34:18,925 --> 00:34:20,041
There's no other way to put it.
740
00:34:20,109 --> 00:34:21,676
Till you can
figure that out,
741
00:34:21,727 --> 00:34:23,895
we're not going anywhere.
742
00:34:23,980 --> 00:34:26,815
Sit down and shut up.
743
00:34:38,070 --> 00:34:39,788
The last two were less
than a minute apart.
744
00:34:39,829 --> 00:34:42,664
It didn't hurt this much when
I took shrapnel in Mosul.
