No problem.

Why are you so preppy?
19
00:01:41,224 --> 00:01:43,292
Well, probably because I
went to boarding school.

But I think you mean "peppy."

How much do you make, Tim?

00:02:11,986 --> 00:02:14,488
What are you doing
with my L.E.S.?
35
00:02:14,522 --> 00:02:15,955
It was on my desk.
It's addressed
36
00:02:15,990 --> 00:02:17,853
to me--
it's a Federal offense.
37
00:02:17,859 --> 00:02:19,844
Well, you know
what I find offensive
38
00:02:19,859 --> 00:02:22,061
and more than a little
strange, is that somehow
39
00:02:22,095 --> 00:02:25,064
you make $253 a week
more than me.
40
00:02:25,098 --> 00:02:26,699
- It's all about withholding.
- Yeah.

You're too smart to hack

little weekly bump, aren't you?
46
00:02:36,775 --> 00:02:37,875
Or should I call
47
00:02:37,910 --> 00:02:39,711
Fred Seymour in Accounting

48
00:02:39,745 --> 00:02:40,878
Hang up, DiNozzo.
49
00:02:40,913 --> 00:02:42,146
Time's money.
50
00:02:42,181 --> 00:02:44,282
We've got a dead
Navy reservist in Arlington.
51
00:02:44,317 --> 00:02:45,483
Boss, did you know that McGee
52
00:02:45,518 --> 00:02:46,951
makes more money
than Ziva and me?
53
00:02:46,985 --> 00:02:48,152
Keep me out of this.
I know.
54
00:02:48,187 --> 00:02:50,387
he gives a lot to charity,
and you should, too.
55
00:02:50,422 --> 00:02:52,055
The DiNozzos are great
humanitarians. You know that.
56
00:02:52,090 --> 00:02:55,359
We got a dead hu-man.
Let's go.
57
00:02:55,393 --> 00:02:57,394
Was that a pun?
58
00:03:02,701 --> 00:03:04,134
Hey, why are we being arrested?
59
00:03:04,168 --> 00:03:06,236
- Breaking and entering.
- But we didn't steal anything.
60
00:03:06,270 --> 00:03:07,203
You shot
61
00:03:07,238 --> 00:03:08,804
the victim twice.
One missed,
62
00:03:08,839 --> 00:03:11,140
and the other just...
grazed him.
63
00:03:11,174 --> 00:03:13,843
Besides,
he was already dead.
64
00:03:13,877 --> 00:03:14,877
You sure about that?
65
00:03:14,911 --> 00:03:16,312
He off'd himself,
man. Come on.
66
00:03:16,347 --> 00:03:17,547
We just happened
to be here, man.
67
00:03:17,581 --> 00:03:18,681
Wrong place,
wrong time.
68
00:03:18,716 --> 00:03:20,149
Look, we could've taken
some of this stuff
69
00:03:20,183 --> 00:03:21,717
on our way out,
but we didn't, man.
70
00:03:21,751 --> 00:03:23,518
Was there anybody
else in the house?
71
00:03:23,553 --> 00:03:24,953
I don't think so.
72
00:03:24,987 --> 00:03:26,655
Get 'em out.
73
00:03:26,689 --> 00:03:28,189
Man! Next time,
74
00:03:28,224 --> 00:03:30,792
I'm picking the
place we hit.
75
00:03:30,826 --> 00:03:32,628
Interesting.
76
00:03:32,662 --> 00:03:34,663
Doc. Hanging or the gunshot?
77
00:03:34,697 --> 00:03:36,298
The math.
78
00:03:36,332 --> 00:03:39,300
For centuries, hangings
used a standard dead drop,
79
00:03:39,334 --> 00:03:42,069
but then in 1872,
80
00:03:42,103 --> 00:03:44,305
an Englishman named
William Marwood
81
00:03:44,339 --> 00:03:46,907
calculated a formula
using a man's height,
82
00:03:46,941 --> 00:03:49,209
weight and the distance dropped
83
00:03:49,244 --> 00:03:52,280
to ensure
a cleanly snapped neck.
84
00:03:52,314 --> 00:03:55,148
So who is our
well-versed victim?
85
00:03:55,182 --> 00:03:55,982
McGee.
86
00:03:56,016 --> 00:03:57,150
Dr. Robert Banks,
87
00:03:57,184 --> 00:03:59,952
psychologist and Navy reservist
on active duty.
88
00:03:59,987 --> 00:04:02,021
High-level security clearance
at the Pentagon.
89
00:04:02,055 --> 00:04:03,990
Dr. Banks here clearly used
90
00:04:04,024 --> 00:04:07,226
Marwood's formula and
a double knot, thus ensuring
91
00:04:07,261 --> 00:04:09,762
the "hangman's fracture."
92
00:04:09,796 --> 00:04:12,298
Yeah, hoping for
instantaneous death.
93
00:04:12,332 --> 00:04:14,933
His goal was to fracture
the third and fourth vertebrae.
94
00:04:14,967 --> 00:04:16,802
Judging by the angle
of the neck
95
00:04:16,836 --> 00:04:19,237
and the petechial
hemorrhaging in his eyes,
96
00:04:19,272 --> 00:04:21,774
his efforts were successful.
97
00:04:25,278 --> 00:04:27,011
But who shot him?
98
00:04:27,045 --> 00:04:27,945
Robbers.
99
00:04:27,979 --> 00:04:30,381
Well, then we'll have to see
100
00:04:30,416 --> 00:04:32,016
which killed him first,
101
00:04:32,050 --> 00:04:34,385
the bullet or the rope.
102
00:04:34,420 --> 00:04:36,854
Boss, local LEOs say
there's a woman outside
103
00:04:36,888 --> 00:04:38,656
claims to be
the victim's doctor.
104
00:04:38,691 --> 00:04:39,857
Let her in.
105
00:04:44,696 --> 00:04:46,062
Dr. Kate's sister.
106
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:50,801
Are you his doc, Doc?
107
00:04:50,835 --> 00:04:53,570
Yeah, and his friend.
108
00:04:53,604 --> 00:04:55,071
My condolences, Dr. Cranston.
109
00:04:55,105 --> 00:04:57,240
Gibbs, found Banks's cell
phone-- you're not gonna believe
110
00:04:57,274 --> 00:04:59,975
who called him
four times last night.
111
00:05:00,009 --> 00:05:02,010
Dr. Cranston.
112
00:05:02,045 --> 00:05:04,613
He... hanged
himself, huh?
113
00:05:04,648 --> 00:05:06,649
- Looks that way.
- Well, whatever it looks like,
114
00:05:06,683 --> 00:05:07,817
Gibbs, you look deeper.
115
00:05:07,851 --> 00:05:09,985
Robert was one of the
strongest people I knew.
116
00:05:10,019 --> 00:05:11,654
He wouldn't do
this; couldn't.
117
00:05:11,688 --> 00:05:14,322
I know someone
killed him.
118
00:05:29,215 --> 00:05:31,655
So, you spoke to him
last night, Doc?
119
00:05:31,657 --> 00:05:32,930
Several times.
120
00:05:32,931 --> 00:05:34,565
About what?
121
00:05:35,971 --> 00:05:37,622
I'm afraid the rules
of confidentiality
122
00:05:37,623 --> 00:05:38,711
prevent me from
giving you any details.
123
00:05:38,712 --> 00:05:40,579
Doc,
guy's dead.
124
00:05:45,166 --> 00:05:47,233
Robert was a brilliant
psychologist.
125
00:05:47,268 --> 00:05:48,835
We went to school together.
126
00:05:48,869 --> 00:05:50,503
What about since then?
127
00:05:50,537 --> 00:05:52,371
We were close colleagues.
128
00:05:52,405 --> 00:05:55,107
His wife filed for divorce
a few months ago.
129
00:05:55,141 --> 00:05:57,943
He was having a difficult
time prior to that as well.
130
00:05:57,978 --> 00:06:00,012
At work?
He have enemies?
131
00:06:02,148 --> 00:06:05,584
He was consulting on a special
project for the Pentagon.
132
00:06:05,618 --> 00:06:06,484
What kind of project?
133
00:06:06,509 --> 00:06:07,896
The kind that gets
you killed, apparently.
134
00:06:09,654 --> 00:06:11,456
M.I.S.O.--
135
00:06:11,490 --> 00:06:13,657
Military Information
Support Operations.
136
00:06:13,692 --> 00:06:15,493
I'm old-school, Doc.
137
00:06:15,527 --> 00:06:17,061
Psy-ops'll do.
138
00:06:17,096 --> 00:06:19,330
Yeah, well, then you know
they use mind games
139
00:06:19,365 --> 00:06:21,032
to confuse and
manipulate the enemy.
140
00:06:21,066 --> 00:06:22,300
I know that.
141
00:06:22,334 --> 00:06:24,034
Credit card statements
over the past few months
142
00:06:24,068 --> 00:06:25,935
show that he was writing
prescriptions for himself.
143
00:06:25,970 --> 00:06:27,971
Oh, not true.
That's the kind
144
00:06:28,006 --> 00:06:29,873
of background fabrication
psy-ops excels at.
145
00:06:29,907 --> 00:06:32,075
Really? And you know
this because...?
146
00:06:32,110 --> 00:06:33,643
Because Banks invented it.
147
00:06:33,677 --> 00:06:35,512
That what you and
Banks talked about?
148
00:06:35,546 --> 00:06:37,080
We talked about
his divorce.
149
00:06:37,115 --> 00:06:39,081
He wanted me to start
seeing his daughter
150
00:06:39,116 --> 00:06:40,749
to help her
get through it.
151
00:06:40,783 --> 00:06:42,951
Turns out he was having just
as much trouble as she was.
152
00:06:42,986 --> 00:06:45,321
He was getting
increasingly anxious,
153
00:06:45,355 --> 00:06:47,123
but whenever
I brought up his daughter,
154
00:06:47,157 --> 00:06:48,991
his panic would subside.
155
00:06:49,026 --> 00:06:51,860
He lived for
his little girl.
156
00:06:51,895 --> 00:06:54,363
She was his hope,
his whole reason for living.
157
00:06:54,398 --> 00:06:57,065
People who have
any hope at all, Gibbs,
158
00:06:57,099 --> 00:06:59,134
they don't take
their own life,
159
00:06:59,168 --> 00:07:00,935
they embrace it.
160
00:07:00,969 --> 00:07:03,438
Banks didn't kill himself.
161
00:07:05,074 --> 00:07:08,376
Forgive me if I'm having
a little trouble with this.
162
00:07:08,411 --> 00:07:11,745
Bobby had been
so unpredictable lately.
163
00:07:11,779 --> 00:07:13,113
He just...
164
00:07:13,148 --> 00:07:14,814
he just wanted Amber
to be happy.
165
00:07:14,849 --> 00:07:17,217
It's all because
they broke up.
166
00:07:17,252 --> 00:07:18,718
He still loved her.
167
00:07:18,753 --> 00:07:22,256
You made this happen.
168
00:07:24,259 --> 00:07:25,659
Tell me about your
relationship, Mrs. Banks.
169
00:07:25,693 --> 00:07:29,929
Why does any couple split
after so many years?
170
00:07:32,466 --> 00:07:34,167
We grew apart.
171
00:07:34,201 --> 00:07:37,136
He'd become...
different.
172
00:07:37,171 --> 00:07:38,571
He had become moody.
173
00:07:38,605 --> 00:07:40,906
He wasn't the man
that I married.
174
00:07:43,276 --> 00:07:45,643
And... he started
175
00:07:45,678 --> 00:07:47,845
to take it out
on both of us.
176
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,548
Mom...
You know
177
00:07:49,582 --> 00:07:51,483
he wasn't the same, Amber.
178
00:07:51,517 --> 00:07:53,952
Life insurance
179
00:07:53,986 --> 00:07:55,722
has you as the
sole beneficiary.
180
00:07:55,747 --> 00:07:56,421
Yeah.
181
00:07:56,422 --> 00:07:59,990
His, um, university
and naval death benefits.
182
00:08:00,024 --> 00:08:01,758
He had an additional
policy, too.
183
00:08:01,793 --> 00:08:05,062
$4 million for
both of you.
184
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:09,633
But...
185
00:08:09,667 --> 00:08:11,744
wouldn't the suicide
change that?
186
00:08:11,769 --> 00:08:12,503
No, no,
187
00:08:12,504 --> 00:08:14,671
not in this case--
he had a policy
188
00:08:14,706 --> 00:08:17,340
that had an
exclusion clause.
189
00:08:20,177 --> 00:08:23,012
You sure you didn't know
about the money?
190
00:08:36,626 --> 00:08:37,926
Hey, finally.
You work
191
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,394
with Fred Seymour
in Accounting, right?
192
00:08:39,429 --> 00:08:41,196
Uh, you need an accountant?
193
00:08:41,231 --> 00:08:42,397
You bet I do.
194
00:08:42,432 --> 00:08:43,698
I got a salary dispute.
195
00:08:43,733 --> 00:08:47,002
Oh. Are you feeling
overvalued or undervalued?
196
00:08:47,036 --> 00:08:48,369
That's an interesting question.
197
00:08:48,403 --> 00:08:50,238
It's not me,
actually, it's McGee.
198
00:08:50,272 --> 00:08:51,239
Who's McGee?
199
00:08:51,273 --> 00:08:53,441
My coworker.
The tall, pasty guy
200
00:08:53,475 --> 00:08:55,243
who wanders around
sort of...
201
00:08:55,277 --> 00:08:57,645
You know, he spends way too much
time indoors. Needs light.
202
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,947
Shouldn't I be
talking to him?
203
00:08:59,981 --> 00:09:01,015
Technically.
204
00:09:01,049 --> 00:09:02,250
Mm.
That's a good point.
205
00:09:02,284 --> 00:09:04,151
There's probably some
206
00:09:04,185 --> 00:09:06,153
underlying feelings
of inadequacy
207
00:09:06,187 --> 00:09:08,355
between the two
of you, right?
208
00:09:08,389 --> 00:09:09,689
No.
209
00:09:09,723 --> 00:09:11,258
What do you mean,
inadequacy?
210
00:09:11,292 --> 00:09:12,659
Did your father
ever tell you
211
00:09:12,693 --> 00:09:13,993
he loved you?
212
00:09:15,663 --> 00:09:17,897
You're not from Accounting,
are you?
213
00:09:17,931 --> 00:09:20,666
Why did you pretend to be?
I didn't.
214
00:09:20,700 --> 00:09:21,667
You did.
215
00:09:21,701 --> 00:09:23,669
You just saw
what you wanted to see.
216
00:09:23,703 --> 00:09:26,205
I'm not sure I want
to see you anymore.
217
00:09:26,239 --> 00:09:28,641
Oh. Are we breaking up
already?
218
00:09:28,675 --> 00:09:29,841
Who are you?
219
00:09:29,876 --> 00:09:33,078
I'm Dr. Samantha Ryan,
DOD, Psy-ops Division.
220
00:09:33,112 --> 00:09:37,048
I've been told to come
and see a Special Agent Gibbs.
221
00:09:37,082 --> 00:09:38,783
Yeah, you found him.
Ah.
222
00:09:38,817 --> 00:09:40,084
You a brain gamer, right?
223
00:09:40,118 --> 00:09:43,054
That's head brain gamer to you.
224
00:09:43,088 --> 00:09:46,724
I oversee all military
information support operations.
225
00:09:46,758 --> 00:09:48,293
I understand you're
investigating
226
00:09:48,327 --> 00:09:50,495
the death of
Dr. Robert Banks.
227
00:09:50,529 --> 00:09:51,195
Agent Gibbs,
228
00:09:51,229 --> 00:09:52,962
word in my office.
229
00:09:53,864 --> 00:09:55,432
Huh.
230
00:09:55,466 --> 00:09:57,067
Hi, Leon.
231
00:09:57,101 --> 00:09:58,902
Dr. Ryan,
232
00:09:58,936 --> 00:10:00,704
what a surprise.
233
00:10:00,738 --> 00:10:02,206
You know Director Vance.
234
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:03,707
You seem to know
everybody.
235
00:10:03,741 --> 00:10:05,175
Yeah, it's my job.
236
00:10:05,210 --> 00:10:06,743
Oh, Gibbs,
237
00:10:06,777 --> 00:10:08,844
feel free to ask Leon
anything you want.
238
00:10:08,878 --> 00:10:10,779
We go way back.
239
00:10:12,982 --> 00:10:14,883
DiNozzo,
240
00:10:14,918 --> 00:10:17,152
escort Dr. Ryan
to the conference room.
241
00:10:17,187 --> 00:10:18,721
Dr. Cranston's waiting.
242
00:10:18,755 --> 00:10:19,722
Yes, sir.
243
00:10:19,756 --> 00:10:21,390
Cranston?
244
00:10:23,926 --> 00:10:26,361
Hey, Director, you look good.
245
00:10:26,395 --> 00:10:28,830
Authority...
246
00:10:28,864 --> 00:10:31,833
suits you.
247
00:10:35,438 --> 00:10:37,472
I got a call from SECNAV.
248
00:10:37,506 --> 00:10:38,640
Oh, great.
249
00:10:38,674 --> 00:10:40,341
No, it wasn't.
250
00:10:40,375 --> 00:10:41,942
Somebody steal his golf bag?
251
00:10:41,976 --> 00:10:44,077
SECDEF wants to know what
NCIS is doing investigating
252
00:10:44,112 --> 00:10:45,746
an M.I.S.O. employee.
253
00:10:45,780 --> 00:10:46,913
Investigating a
possible murder.
254
00:10:46,948 --> 00:10:49,116
I know you're not big
on fine lines,
255
00:10:49,150 --> 00:10:50,217
Gibbs, but I am.
256
00:10:50,252 --> 00:10:51,818
This happens
to be one of them.
257
00:10:51,853 --> 00:10:53,120
Dead guy's Navy, Leon.
258
00:10:53,154 --> 00:10:54,755
That makes it ours.
259
00:10:54,789 --> 00:10:55,921
So,
260
00:10:55,956 --> 00:10:57,423
how do you know Dr. Ryan?
261
00:10:57,458 --> 00:10:59,259
Long story.
262
00:10:59,293 --> 00:11:02,027
Love to hear it.
She's an old colleague.
263
00:11:02,062 --> 00:11:05,197
Let's just say we spent some
time together at the war college.
264
00:11:05,232 --> 00:11:06,399
Ah, private time?
265
00:11:06,433 --> 00:11:08,301
Classified time.
266
00:11:08,335 --> 00:11:10,169
Okay,
okay, enough said.
267
00:11:10,203 --> 00:11:11,203
Be careful,
268
00:11:11,238 --> 00:11:12,738
she's inquisitive.
Yeah, well,
269
00:11:12,772 --> 00:11:13,805
so am I.
270
00:11:13,839 --> 00:11:14,839
Gibbs.
271
00:11:15,941 --> 00:11:17,942
Not like her.
272
00:11:24,684 --> 00:11:26,385
Do you exercise?
273
00:11:26,419 --> 00:11:28,753
I walk.
274
00:11:28,787 --> 00:11:30,087
Why?
275
00:11:30,121 --> 00:11:31,756
Because you look skinny.
276
00:11:31,790 --> 00:11:33,891
Skinnier than the
last time I saw you.
277
00:11:33,925 --> 00:11:35,125
Gave up dairy.
278
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,261
I'm lactose-intolerant.
279
00:11:37,296 --> 00:11:39,163
You always were
into the latest fads.
280
00:11:39,197 --> 00:11:42,300
Well, it's not really a fad;
it's a diagnosis.
281
00:11:46,470 --> 00:11:48,438
So, anybody want coffee?
282
00:11:48,472 --> 00:11:49,972
No milk.
283
00:11:53,944 --> 00:11:56,379
You two went
to school together, right?
284
00:11:56,414 --> 00:11:58,381
Hmm, yes.
Does that turn you on,
285
00:11:58,416 --> 00:11:59,715
Agent Gibbs?
286
00:11:59,749 --> 00:12:00,916
A couple of coeds?
287
00:12:02,852 --> 00:12:05,721
Afterwards, she went clinical,
288
00:12:05,755 --> 00:12:07,656
and I went military.
289
00:12:07,691 --> 00:12:10,359
Very different points of view.
290
00:12:10,393 --> 00:12:12,795
Oh, and, um,
full disclosure:
291
00:12:12,829 --> 00:12:14,763
we both slept with Banks.
292
00:12:14,798 --> 00:12:16,664
She was interested
in his mind.
293
00:12:16,699 --> 00:12:18,333
I...
She's doing it.
294
00:12:19,034 --> 00:12:20,000
You're doing it.
295
00:12:21,136 --> 00:12:22,437
I'm doing what?
Oh, the games.
296
00:12:22,471 --> 00:12:23,638
The nonsense.
297
00:12:24,540 --> 00:12:26,474
And I'm leaving.
298
00:12:26,508 --> 00:12:27,408
No, no, you're not.
299
00:12:27,443 --> 00:12:29,844
Sam, we think Dr.
Banks was the victim
300
00:12:29,878 --> 00:12:31,278
of psy-ops scheme.
301
00:12:31,313 --> 00:12:33,647
We?
302
00:12:33,681 --> 00:12:35,315
He was my patient.
303
00:12:36,384 --> 00:12:37,484
That's ridiculous.
304
00:12:37,518 --> 00:12:38,685
Is it?
305
00:12:39,953 --> 00:12:42,555
Agent Gibbs, I will answer
any question that you have,
306
00:12:42,589 --> 00:12:44,557
but not here and
obviously not with her.
307
00:12:44,591 --> 00:12:45,725
Why not?
308
00:12:45,759 --> 00:12:48,494
National security.
309
00:12:48,528 --> 00:12:50,229
Next meeting, my
office, my rules.
310
00:12:50,263 --> 00:12:51,063
My investigation.
311
00:12:51,097 --> 00:12:52,331
My friend.
Our friend,
312
00:12:52,366 --> 00:12:54,166
Rachel.
313
00:12:55,501 --> 00:12:59,237
Banks was working with an
M.I.S.O. field op named Mitchell
314
00:12:59,271 --> 00:13:00,238
on an assignment.
315
00:13:00,272 --> 00:13:01,906
You probably
should talk to him.
316
00:13:04,243 --> 00:13:07,011
Yeah, Doug, I'm on my way.
317
00:13:07,045 --> 00:13:08,212
Hey, Gibbs.
318
00:13:09,348 --> 00:13:11,515
Don't trust these people.
319
00:13:11,549 --> 00:13:12,816
Especially her.
320
00:13:17,989 --> 00:13:20,257
- I don't follow.
- Which part, Mitchell?
321
00:13:20,291 --> 00:13:21,425
Dr. Banks can't be dead.
322
00:13:21,459 --> 00:13:22,826
I just spoke to
him yesterday.
323
00:13:22,861 --> 00:13:23,861
He's gone.
324
00:13:23,895 --> 00:13:24,795
No.
325
00:13:24,829 --> 00:13:25,962
I would've been informed.
326
00:13:25,997 --> 00:13:28,398
DOD. Pentagon.
327
00:13:28,432 --> 00:13:31,000
There's a chain of communication
that would've been engaged.
328
00:13:31,034 --> 00:13:31,834
Mitchell.
329
00:13:32,836 --> 00:13:34,036
He's dead.
330
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,941
You are a reservist
working for psy-ops,
331
00:13:38,975 --> 00:13:40,209
yes?
332
00:13:40,243 --> 00:13:41,911
Former Navy.
333
00:13:41,945 --> 00:13:44,045
I'm not cut out for
this head game stuff.
334
00:13:44,079 --> 00:13:46,214
I... can't do it anymore.
335
00:13:46,248 --> 00:13:48,950
They're, uh...
they're reassigning me.
336
00:13:48,984 --> 00:13:50,322
You worked with Dr. Banks
for how long?
337
00:13:50,511 --> 00:13:51,711
Almost a year.
338
00:13:51,788 --> 00:13:54,589
Banks is a smart man
and a good father.
339
00:13:54,624 --> 00:13:56,458
He was going through
a rough divorce,
340
00:13:56,492 --> 00:13:58,293
an ugly custody battle.
341
00:13:58,327 --> 00:14:01,194
The doctor have any problems
with his coworkers?
342
00:14:01,229 --> 00:14:02,496
Threats or disagreements?
Look, this is
343
00:14:02,531 --> 00:14:05,399
a restricted M.I.S.O.
field unit-- all information
344
00:14:05,434 --> 00:14:06,934
is case-sensitive
and has to be...
345
00:14:06,968 --> 00:14:07,935
We're cleared.
346
00:14:07,969 --> 00:14:09,870
Answer the question.
347
00:14:13,074 --> 00:14:15,409
It's a court order.
348
00:14:22,115 --> 00:14:23,550
Here.
349
00:14:23,584 --> 00:14:26,419
Former Marine Second
Lieutenant Kyle Baxter.
350
00:14:26,454 --> 00:14:28,855
Received a general
discharge six months ago
351
00:14:28,889 --> 00:14:31,957
because of a negative
emotional stability eval.
352
00:14:31,991 --> 00:14:35,126
- Who wrote it?
- Dr. Banks, of course.
353
00:14:40,132 --> 00:14:41,567
Give me a verdict, Duck.
354
00:14:41,601 --> 00:14:44,670
Which came first, the
chicken or the egg?
355
00:14:44,704 --> 00:14:46,412
Well, always been
a chicken man myself.
356
00:14:46,413 --> 00:14:47,972
Oh, that's my conundrum.
357
00:14:48,039 --> 00:14:50,407
The heart continues to beat
358
00:14:50,442 --> 00:14:53,243
after a hanging
for a few moments.
359
00:14:53,278 --> 00:14:56,046
The doctor here was shot
and continued to bleed.
360
00:14:56,081 --> 00:14:57,849
Now, with the amount
of blood loss,
361
00:14:57,883 --> 00:15:00,217
I would hypothesize
that the bullet hit him
362
00:15:00,251 --> 00:15:03,753
milliseconds after his neck
was snapped clean by the rope.
363
00:15:03,788 --> 00:15:05,789
- Definitely a suicide?
- Without doubt.
364
00:15:05,823 --> 00:15:08,124
But he was only hastening
the inevitable.
365
00:15:08,158 --> 00:15:10,293
- What are you saying?
- His kidney and liver functions
366
00:15:10,327 --> 00:15:13,730
were deteriorating
at an alarming rate.
367
00:15:13,764 --> 00:15:15,031
Based on what?
368
00:15:15,065 --> 00:15:16,399
Abby is determining that.
369
00:15:16,433 --> 00:15:19,935
Suffice to say, had the doctor
not taken his own life,
370
00:15:19,970 --> 00:15:24,607
I would estimate he had but...
six months to live.
371
00:15:32,605 --> 00:15:35,440
♪ A little fun,
just now and then ♪
372
00:15:35,475 --> 00:15:38,077
♪ Is relished by
the best of men. ♪
373
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:39,973
- Abby.
- Hi, Gibbs.
374
00:15:40,313 --> 00:15:42,315
It's called
"scoundrel patter,"
375
00:15:42,317 --> 00:15:44,750
courtesy of
an Old West con man
376
00:15:44,785 --> 00:15:46,286
named Umbrella Jim Miner.
377
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,688
Supposed to confuse
the suckas.
378
00:15:48,722 --> 00:15:52,325
Gibbs, watch closely--
the hand is quicker than the eye.
379
00:15:52,359 --> 00:15:55,095
♪ Attention given,
I'll show you ♪

Hm.
382
00:16:02,702 --> 00:16:04,503
I win.
383
00:16:04,537 --> 00:16:06,538
So, I guess you're not a sucker.
384
00:16:07,574 --> 00:16:10,008
Or are you?
385
00:16:12,112 --> 00:16:13,412
All of these pills
386
00:16:13,446 --> 00:16:15,180
came out of Banks'
medicine cabinet.
387
00:16:15,215 --> 00:16:17,515
One is a benign blood
pressure medication.
388
00:16:17,549 --> 00:16:19,984
The other two are dangerous
psychotropic stimulants that
389
00:16:20,018 --> 00:16:22,720
have been wreaking havoc on
his liver and his kidney functions.
390
00:16:22,754 --> 00:16:24,188
I can't tell the difference.
391
00:16:24,223 --> 00:16:26,224
Somebody switched out
his prescriptions, Gibbs.
392
00:16:26,258 --> 00:16:27,992
It's like the oldest
con in the book.
393
00:16:28,026 --> 00:16:29,660
- Poor sucker.
- Yeah.
394
00:16:29,694 --> 00:16:32,462
So, Banks thinks that
he's just taking his daily meds,
395
00:16:32,497 --> 00:16:35,499
when, in reality,
he's taking drugs
396
00:16:35,533 --> 00:16:37,867
that have been proven
to cause depression
397
00:16:37,901 --> 00:16:39,736
and increased
mental instability.
398
00:16:39,770 --> 00:16:41,138
Psy-ops.
399
00:16:41,172 --> 00:16:42,205
Mind games.
400
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,374
He's being played, Abbs.
401
00:16:44,408 --> 00:16:46,743
Question is, by who?
402
00:16:50,580 --> 00:16:51,780
Chair works.
403
00:16:51,814 --> 00:16:53,915
I like standing.
What else
404
00:16:53,950 --> 00:16:55,351
do you like, Agent Gibbs?
405
00:16:55,385 --> 00:16:57,052
Answers.
Good.
406
00:16:57,086 --> 00:16:58,420
We make a great couple.
407
00:16:58,455 --> 00:17:00,088
I like questions.
408
00:17:00,123 --> 00:17:02,224
You want to tell me
something about yourself?
409
00:17:02,259 --> 00:17:03,058
No.
410
00:17:03,092 --> 00:17:04,359
Your life story
411
00:17:04,393 --> 00:17:06,093
makes you uncomfortable?
412
00:17:07,896 --> 00:17:11,232
You know,
nonverbal behaviors
413
00:17:11,267 --> 00:17:14,735
comprise 85% of all
human communication.
414
00:17:14,770 --> 00:17:17,000
And the most honest
part of your body,
415
00:17:17,025 --> 00:17:18,225
believe it or not:
416
00:17:18,274 --> 00:17:19,574
your feet.
417
00:17:19,608 --> 00:17:23,343
And yours, Agent Gibbs, are
pointed directly at my door.
418
00:17:24,245 --> 00:17:26,547
Okay.
419
00:17:26,581 --> 00:17:28,515
I have a question for you.
420
00:17:28,550 --> 00:17:29,949
Speaks volumes.
421
00:17:29,984 --> 00:17:31,318
Do you like pancakes?
422
00:17:31,352 --> 00:17:33,387
I love pancakes.
423
00:17:34,622 --> 00:17:35,889
Dr. Ryan?
424
00:17:35,923 --> 00:17:37,690
Yes, Special Agent Gibbs,
425
00:17:37,724 --> 00:17:38,791
Ross Kilmer,
426
00:17:38,825 --> 00:17:40,593
my assistant;
Ross's specialty
427
00:17:40,627 --> 00:17:42,662
is to charm and disarm.
428
00:17:42,696 --> 00:17:44,163
He has less patience
than I do.
429
00:17:44,198 --> 00:17:45,298
If he's country,
430
00:17:45,332 --> 00:17:46,965
I'm rock and roll;
works out.
431
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,767
Marine Lieutenant Kyle Baxter.
432
00:17:48,802 --> 00:17:50,303
We're coming up empty--
you got anything?
433
00:17:50,337 --> 00:17:51,337
Um...
434
00:17:51,371 --> 00:17:53,438
just about
his psych eval.
435
00:17:53,472 --> 00:17:54,806
That's it.
436
00:17:59,212 --> 00:18:02,980
Personnel list for the op
Banks was working on.
437
00:18:08,286 --> 00:18:10,987
You know what
I really like, Doc?
438
00:18:12,123 --> 00:18:14,157
Paper.
439
00:18:16,228 --> 00:18:19,330
I-I really... love paper.
440
00:18:27,371 --> 00:18:28,838
Where'd you find these?
441
00:18:28,872 --> 00:18:30,673
One was hidden
inside Banks' couch.
442
00:18:30,708 --> 00:18:32,675
The other one was
in his mattress.
443
00:18:32,710 --> 00:18:36,112
Oh, wow, the milliguass
reading's off the charts.
444
00:18:36,146 --> 00:18:39,215
These are electromagnetic
field emitters.
445
00:18:39,250 --> 00:18:42,117
Hm, someone tried
to give our victim a tumor?
446
00:18:42,151 --> 00:18:44,453
Yeah, more like
headaches and nightmares.
447
00:18:44,487 --> 00:18:46,054
High levels
of EMF pollution
448
00:18:46,088 --> 00:18:48,490
can cause interference
with REM sleep cycles.
449
00:18:48,524 --> 00:18:49,824
I'll sleep when I'm dead.
450
00:18:52,662 --> 00:18:54,195
Personnel files from Ryan.
451
00:18:54,230 --> 00:18:55,364
List of possible
killers, huh?
452
00:18:55,398 --> 00:18:56,397
But we don't trust it, right?
453
00:18:56,431 --> 00:18:57,331
Run them anyway.
454
00:18:57,366 --> 00:18:58,366
- Anything else from the house?
- Yes.
455
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,268
Found this from
Banks' office safe:
456
00:19:00,302 --> 00:19:02,836
operations protocol for a
top secret psy-ops mission.
457
00:19:02,871 --> 00:19:04,071
It appears our
victim was working
458
00:19:04,105 --> 00:19:06,240
- on this last.
- But the only person
459
00:19:06,275 --> 00:19:08,376
that could confirm that'll
probably lie to your face.
460
00:19:10,845 --> 00:19:13,680
I'm getting used to that.
461
00:19:21,121 --> 00:19:22,989
McGee,
462
00:19:23,023 --> 00:19:25,224
connect the gizmos you
found back to psy-ops.
463
00:19:25,259 --> 00:19:26,760
I can track the parts, boss,
464
00:19:26,794 --> 00:19:28,727
but whoever built it
most likely
465
00:19:28,762 --> 00:19:30,296
is gonna cover their...
466
00:19:30,330 --> 00:19:32,130
tracks.
467
00:19:35,034 --> 00:19:36,234
E-mail issues again?
468
00:19:36,269 --> 00:19:37,302
Trust issues.
469
00:19:37,336 --> 00:19:39,070
From now on, I want paper
470
00:19:39,105 --> 00:19:41,072
from the source.
471
00:19:41,107 --> 00:19:42,674
Paper?
472
00:19:42,708 --> 00:19:45,010
You heard the man, McGee.
473
00:19:45,044 --> 00:19:47,679
He said he wants
psy-ops personnel files.
474
00:19:47,713 --> 00:19:49,014
A lot of them.
475
00:19:49,048 --> 00:19:51,916
But any one of them
could've planned Banks' murder.
476
00:19:51,950 --> 00:19:54,952
This could take days. Weeks.
477
00:19:54,986 --> 00:19:57,521
There's got to be a million
personnel files here.
478
00:19:57,555 --> 00:20:00,524
I don't even know where
to begin without a search key.
479
00:20:00,558 --> 00:20:03,493
Well, I suggest we
begin alphabetically.
480
00:20:22,079 --> 00:20:23,912
Could I get you
481
00:20:23,947 --> 00:20:25,280
a beer, Agent Gibbs?
482
00:20:25,315 --> 00:20:26,514
No, I'm good.
483
00:20:26,549 --> 00:20:27,883
You look nice.
484
00:20:29,552 --> 00:20:32,587
I assume what you need
to talk to me about
485
00:20:32,621 --> 00:20:33,956
can't wait till morning?
486
00:20:33,990 --> 00:20:35,757
Murders are time-sensitive.
487
00:20:35,791 --> 00:20:37,292
General.
488
00:20:37,327 --> 00:20:38,426
Dr. Banks
489
00:20:38,461 --> 00:20:39,693
took his own life.
490
00:20:39,728 --> 00:20:42,596
And I'm not sure if this is
the time or the place.
491
00:20:45,934 --> 00:20:48,402
Would you excuse me
for just a moment?
492
00:20:48,436 --> 00:20:49,904
Mm-hmm.
493
00:20:51,639 --> 00:20:53,875
Wow, people in this town
494
00:20:53,909 --> 00:20:57,510
love to talk shop
and eat cocktail weenies.
495
00:20:57,544 --> 00:21:00,280
I, um, I get the impression
by your hoodie
496
00:21:00,314 --> 00:21:02,215
that you don't really
like parties that much.
497
00:21:02,250 --> 00:21:04,717
No, I like parties, when there's
something worth celebrating.
498
00:21:04,752 --> 00:21:06,086
Everything all right
here, Doctor?
499
00:21:06,120 --> 00:21:09,055
- Can I be of any assistance?
- Oh, thank you, Ross.
500
00:21:09,090 --> 00:21:10,823
Um, Special Agent Gibbs
501
00:21:10,858 --> 00:21:13,092
needs to speak
to me privately.
502
00:21:13,126 --> 00:21:14,659
And I know
503
00:21:14,694 --> 00:21:17,329
just the place.
504
00:21:20,934 --> 00:21:22,768
I'll, um,
505
00:21:22,802 --> 00:21:25,137
I'll just wait right here.
506
00:21:31,010 --> 00:21:33,744
Excuse me.
507
00:21:36,615 --> 00:21:39,250
Feel safe, Gibbs?
508
00:21:39,285 --> 00:21:41,585
Oh, I guess not
everyone in here
509
00:21:41,620 --> 00:21:43,954
has a security clearance.
510
00:21:46,824 --> 00:21:48,858
You're enjoying this.
511
00:21:48,893 --> 00:21:50,727
I'll play along.
512
00:21:50,761 --> 00:21:52,862
What do you got?
513
00:21:59,469 --> 00:22:01,870
"Removal of Threats
Using Drugs
514
00:22:01,905 --> 00:22:03,872
and Alternative Methods."
515
00:22:03,907 --> 00:22:06,976
It's a hell of
a page-turner, Doc.
516
00:22:07,010 --> 00:22:08,777
A real how-to.
517
00:22:08,812 --> 00:22:11,815
Driving a sane person
to suicide using pills
518
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:13,361
and sleep-deprivation.
519
00:22:14,818 --> 00:22:16,818
That sound familiar to you?
520
00:22:16,852 --> 00:22:19,387
Be very careful...
521
00:22:19,422 --> 00:22:22,657
with what you're... suggesting.
522
00:22:22,691 --> 00:22:26,127
This is a page out
of your own playbook, Doc.
523
00:22:26,162 --> 00:22:28,596
So I'm gonna
ask you again.
524
00:22:28,630 --> 00:22:31,966
What do you know about
the death of Robert Banks?
525
00:22:33,634 --> 00:22:36,136
And I'm gonna
tell you again.
526
00:22:39,074 --> 00:22:41,208
Nothing.
527
00:22:46,147 --> 00:22:49,648
I'm giving you a chance
to come clean, Dr. Ryan.
528
00:22:50,884 --> 00:22:54,753
Help solve the
murder of a close friend.
529
00:22:57,358 --> 00:23:00,493
I already told
you the truth.
530
00:23:05,098 --> 00:23:07,632
Whose truth?
531
00:23:23,348 --> 00:23:26,617
Your sister used
to look at me like that.
532
00:23:26,651 --> 00:23:27,851
Like what?
533
00:23:27,886 --> 00:23:29,887
Eh, the cat who ate the canary.
534
00:23:37,761 --> 00:23:40,596
I didn't exactly tell you
everything earlier, Gibbs.
535
00:23:40,631 --> 00:23:44,167
Lot of that going around.
536
00:23:44,201 --> 00:23:47,270
During one of my
sessions with Banks,
537
00:23:47,304 --> 00:23:49,739
he mentioned a sensitive
national security issue.
538
00:23:49,773 --> 00:23:52,141
Yep. You still
should've told me.
539
00:23:52,175 --> 00:23:53,342
I know.
540
00:23:53,376 --> 00:23:54,743
I want to catch his killer.
541
00:23:54,777 --> 00:23:57,379
That makes two of us.
542
00:23:58,481 --> 00:24:02,551
It's not exactly a SCIF,
Doc, but it'll do.
543
00:24:02,585 --> 00:24:04,619
There was a project
544
00:24:04,654 --> 00:24:06,021
called Operation Alborz.
545
00:24:06,056 --> 00:24:08,122
Okay.
546
00:24:08,157 --> 00:24:10,425
- Details.
- No idea.
547
00:24:10,459 --> 00:24:12,993
- What was Banks's involvement?
- He didn't tell me.
548
00:24:13,028 --> 00:24:14,929
Well, what did he tell you?
549
00:24:14,963 --> 00:24:17,432
I got the sense that
someone wanted to make sure
550
00:24:17,466 --> 00:24:20,168
he couldn't discuss it
with anyone, ever.
551
00:24:20,202 --> 00:24:22,503
Someone?
552
00:24:27,641 --> 00:24:29,476
Gibbs.
553
00:24:29,510 --> 00:24:30,843
- Boss?
- Yeah, McGee. Go.
554
00:24:30,878 --> 00:24:33,480
I've been going through
the military personnel files--
555
00:24:33,514 --> 00:24:34,814
all dead ends.
556
00:24:34,848 --> 00:24:36,015
Ryan's info didn't help?
557
00:24:36,050 --> 00:24:37,050
I'm shocked.
558
00:24:37,085 --> 00:24:38,151
Which brings us back
559
00:24:38,186 --> 00:24:39,618
to former Second Lieutenant
Kyle Baxter,
560
00:24:39,652 --> 00:24:42,654
the guy who was drummed out
of the Marines because of Banks.
561
00:24:42,689 --> 00:24:43,556
Pick him up.
562
00:24:43,590 --> 00:24:44,523
We still can't find him.
563
00:24:46,226 --> 00:24:47,726
Hello?
564
00:24:51,364 --> 00:24:53,299
Is there a problem?
565
00:25:02,775 --> 00:25:04,610
Gibbs,
566
00:25:04,644 --> 00:25:06,044
if something's bothering you,
567
00:25:06,079 --> 00:25:07,345
I'd really prefer
you tell...
568
00:25:47,817 --> 00:25:49,018
Is that a b...
569
00:26:06,001 --> 00:26:08,269
Good night, Ryan.
570
00:26:08,303 --> 00:26:10,772
Sleep tight.
571
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,475
Kyle Baxter.
572
00:26:31,509 --> 00:26:33,643
Former second lieutenant
in the Marine Corps.
573
00:26:33,677 --> 00:26:35,645
Superior IQ.
Scored off the charts
574
00:26:35,679 --> 00:26:37,113
on the Officer Qualifying Exam.
575
00:26:37,147 --> 00:26:39,482
- Where is he now?
- Last known address was in Norfolk.
576
00:26:39,516 --> 00:26:41,984
He was hand-picked by the
M.I.S.O. 18 months ago
577
00:26:42,019 --> 00:26:43,519
for its secret ops unit.
578
00:26:43,553 --> 00:26:45,587
- Headed by Banks.
- Yeah. Until...?
579
00:26:45,622 --> 00:26:47,423
Well, Baxter was thrown out
for antisocial behavior,
580
00:26:47,457 --> 00:26:48,624
violent tendencies.
581
00:26:48,658 --> 00:26:50,526
Eventually discharged
from the Marines.
582
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,661
Fell off the grid
a few months after that.
583
00:26:52,695 --> 00:26:54,295
'Course, if we could
use our computers
584
00:26:54,330 --> 00:26:55,764
Nope.
to dig deeper, we...
585
00:26:55,798 --> 00:26:56,899
No.
could...
586
00:26:56,933 --> 00:26:59,067
No, McGee, we can't.
587
00:27:02,772 --> 00:27:04,506
Where'd you get
that, boss?
588
00:27:04,541 --> 00:27:06,274
From my basement;
it's a bug.
589
00:27:06,308 --> 00:27:08,977
Find out where it came from,
the old-fashioned way.
590
00:27:10,579 --> 00:27:11,779
You're ringing, McCheater.
591
00:27:17,085 --> 00:27:18,521
Boss, I only kept it
on to monitor Baxter's
592
00:27:18,546 --> 00:27:20,039
incoming cell phone calls.
593
00:27:20,722 --> 00:27:22,557
But this call's still live.
594
00:27:22,591 --> 00:27:24,091
Where?
Storefront,
595
00:27:24,125 --> 00:27:26,426
600 block of Chapman Avenue;
looks like a cafe.
596
00:27:26,460 --> 00:27:27,661
That's five minutes from here.
597
00:27:27,695 --> 00:27:29,596
Tony, Ziva, go.
598
00:27:31,732 --> 00:27:33,466
Trace the bug.
599
00:27:33,500 --> 00:27:34,901
With or without my...
600
00:27:46,512 --> 00:27:47,947
NCIS?
601
00:27:47,981 --> 00:27:49,081
Who wants to know?
602
00:27:49,115 --> 00:27:51,450
Four minutes. Nice.
603
00:27:51,484 --> 00:27:53,318
- You guys are good.
- You're not Baxter.
604
00:27:53,352 --> 00:27:55,454
Absolutely not.
605
00:27:55,488 --> 00:27:57,822
Kilmer.
Ryan and I work together.
606
00:27:57,856 --> 00:27:59,156
Gibbs knows.
607
00:27:59,191 --> 00:28:01,759
Baxter left me his phone,
wanted to see if you guys
608
00:28:01,794 --> 00:28:04,161
were, uh... tracking him.
609
00:28:04,196 --> 00:28:05,697
You can have it.
610
00:28:05,731 --> 00:28:06,864
He's got others.
611
00:28:06,899 --> 00:28:08,299
Where's Baxter now?
612
00:28:08,333 --> 00:28:09,834
You got me.
613
00:28:11,003 --> 00:28:12,737
I wish you luck, though.
614
00:28:12,771 --> 00:28:16,139
Whoa-hoa. You think we're
just gonna let you walk away?
615
00:28:17,609 --> 00:28:19,076
Well, yeah.
616
00:28:19,110 --> 00:28:20,176
Why not?
617
00:28:20,211 --> 00:28:22,545
Beautiful day.
618
00:28:22,580 --> 00:28:24,280
You guys have a good one.
619
00:28:28,019 --> 00:28:29,419
Huh.
620
00:28:31,922 --> 00:28:35,290
A resort in Cancun?
621
00:28:38,328 --> 00:28:40,462
James Drenden.
622
00:28:47,302 --> 00:28:49,137
Hey, you guys.
623
00:28:49,171 --> 00:28:51,773
Hi, Mrs. Ryan.
624
00:28:55,077 --> 00:28:58,279
How did you know where
my son went to school?
625
00:29:00,182 --> 00:29:01,549
H-His records
626
00:29:01,583 --> 00:29:03,283
are all classified.
627
00:29:05,854 --> 00:29:08,388
Did you follow me?
628
00:29:08,422 --> 00:29:10,257
Are you following me now?
629
00:29:10,291 --> 00:29:12,225
Am I under
surveillance, Gibbs?
630
00:29:16,665 --> 00:29:18,330
You hacked my records.
631
00:29:18,365 --> 00:29:21,134
This is my personal life!
632
00:29:21,168 --> 00:29:22,601
Psy-ops 101.
633
00:29:22,636 --> 00:29:25,038
You approach people
at their most vulnerable.
634
00:29:26,540 --> 00:29:28,574
- You even the playing field, Doc.
- Oh, you don't
635
00:29:28,608 --> 00:29:32,478
want to play with me,
Gibbs, trust me.
636
00:29:35,048 --> 00:29:37,582
I keep things confidential
for a reason.
637
00:29:37,616 --> 00:29:40,052
I take precautions
because I have to.
638
00:29:40,086 --> 00:29:43,755
And my son is off limits.
639
00:29:43,790 --> 00:29:45,223
So is my place.
640
00:29:45,257 --> 00:29:48,126
You don't like
your own medicine, Doc?
641
00:29:48,161 --> 00:29:49,427
I am not the enemy!
642
00:29:49,461 --> 00:29:50,928
You bugged my home!
643
00:29:50,962 --> 00:29:53,363
Tell us about Operation Alborz.
644
00:29:53,398 --> 00:29:55,265
As I...
645
00:29:55,300 --> 00:29:57,134
shared with Agent Gibbs--
646
00:29:57,169 --> 00:29:59,036
national security.
647
00:30:10,981 --> 00:30:14,017
Alborz.
648
00:30:15,385 --> 00:30:17,620
Mountain range in Iran.
649
00:30:17,654 --> 00:30:19,555
Some of the highest peaks.
650
00:30:19,590 --> 00:30:21,124
Apparently,
very beautiful.
651
00:30:21,158 --> 00:30:23,558
People flock
from all over...
652
00:30:23,593 --> 00:30:26,061
Less sizzle, Doc,
more pop.
653
00:30:27,097 --> 00:30:30,465
After we invaded
Iraq in 2003,
654
00:30:30,499 --> 00:30:34,402
Iran started pouring billions
into their nuclear program.
655
00:30:34,437 --> 00:30:37,072
Recruited scientists to
produce plutonium for them.
656
00:30:37,107 --> 00:30:40,708
The Alborz mission was to
use psy-op techniques...
657
00:30:40,743 --> 00:30:44,378
to destabilize Iranian
nuclear scientists.
658
00:30:44,412 --> 00:30:46,247
Cripple the enemy
without firing a shot.
659
00:30:46,281 --> 00:30:48,716
- 21st century warfare.
- And the Iranians got wind?
660
00:30:48,751 --> 00:30:50,391
Possible.
661
00:30:50,416 --> 00:30:51,418
And you think
they could've done
662
00:30:51,419 --> 00:30:53,970
the same thing
to Dr. Banks in retribution.
663
00:30:53,995 --> 00:30:55,155
Look, I'll do
664
00:30:55,156 --> 00:30:57,390
whatever I can...
665
00:30:57,424 --> 00:30:59,592
to help you find
Robert's killer.
666
00:30:59,627 --> 00:31:02,428
I want this over
as much as you do.
667
00:31:05,299 --> 00:31:06,833
Gibbs, get over here.
668
00:31:06,868 --> 00:31:08,401
I processed Banks' laptop.
669
00:31:08,435 --> 00:31:09,535
The encryption
670
00:31:09,570 --> 00:31:11,837
was, like, super complex.
671
00:31:11,872 --> 00:31:12,872
But you got in.
672
00:31:12,906 --> 00:31:14,706
I did-- with a little help.
673
00:31:14,741 --> 00:31:16,776
I just followed the
tracks of someone else
674
00:31:16,810 --> 00:31:19,478
that hacked his computer,
like, way before I did.
675
00:31:19,512 --> 00:31:21,614
Someone was wreaking
havoc on Banks' life
676
00:31:21,639 --> 00:31:22,839
using his own computer.
677
00:31:23,016 --> 00:31:24,616
Like, draining
his accounts
678
00:31:24,651 --> 00:31:26,617
and buying stocks that
he never ordered,
679
00:31:26,652 --> 00:31:28,753
sending threatening e-mails.
More mind games.
680
00:31:28,788 --> 00:31:31,656
Yeah. Even if he googled something,
he would get misinformation.
681
00:31:31,690 --> 00:31:36,327
Like bogus sports scores and
even fictional news stories.
682
00:31:36,361 --> 00:31:38,462
He wasn't only
being drugged,
683
00:31:38,497 --> 00:31:40,364
his entire reality was
being manipulated.
684
00:31:40,399 --> 00:31:41,599
By who?
685
00:31:41,633 --> 00:31:44,501
From what I can tell,
someone in Mexico.
686
00:31:44,535 --> 00:31:47,737
I traced a ghost I.P. address
to a room in a resort
687
00:31:47,772 --> 00:31:49,039
in Cancun.
688
00:31:49,073 --> 00:31:51,341
The security video
is a little blurry,
689
00:31:51,375 --> 00:31:54,244
but I got an instant hit
with facial recognition.
690
00:31:57,815 --> 00:31:59,282
Kyle Baxter.
691
00:31:59,316 --> 00:32:01,450
The same guy
Mitchell implicated,
692
00:32:01,484 --> 00:32:05,221
and the same guy that Banks
gave a bad psych eval to.
693
00:32:05,255 --> 00:32:07,523
Gibbs, this is the guy
we're looking for.
694
00:32:09,927 --> 00:32:11,260
Boss.
695
00:32:11,962 --> 00:32:13,562
Can I?
Yeah. Go, McGee.
696
00:32:13,596 --> 00:32:14,896
Embargo's over.
697
00:32:16,933 --> 00:32:18,399
James Drenden?
698
00:32:18,434 --> 00:32:20,101
- Who is that?
- That's the alias
699
00:32:20,136 --> 00:32:21,769
Kyle Baxter was using.
700
00:32:21,804 --> 00:32:23,939
Got a hit on a passport
under Baxter's alias.
701
00:32:23,973 --> 00:32:25,307
Says he was
702
00:32:25,341 --> 00:32:27,375
on a flight arriving
from Mexico City
703
00:32:27,409 --> 00:32:29,377
to Dulles two months ago.
704
00:32:31,012 --> 00:32:33,147
Two months is a long time.
705
00:32:33,181 --> 00:32:34,181
He could be anywhere by now.
706
00:32:34,216 --> 00:32:35,382
Well, according
to the IRS,
707
00:32:35,416 --> 00:32:37,417
he's currently employed
as a bartender
708
00:32:37,452 --> 00:32:38,652
in Georgetown.
Why would Baxter
709
00:32:38,686 --> 00:32:40,420
still be using
the same alias?
710
00:32:42,324 --> 00:32:44,591
Honestly, Gibbs, had I known
you were looking for me,
711
00:32:44,625 --> 00:32:46,259
I would have been here
days ago.
712
00:32:46,293 --> 00:32:48,328
Yeah. Spare me
the psy-ops charm, Baxter.
713
00:32:48,362 --> 00:32:50,463
We can prove you
were in Mexico.
714
00:32:50,497 --> 00:32:52,631
Okay, so?
715
00:32:53,633 --> 00:32:55,501
So, drugs found
in Banks's system
716
00:32:55,535 --> 00:32:57,503
were manufactured close
to the resort.
717
00:32:57,537 --> 00:32:59,272
You had the expertise.
718
00:32:59,306 --> 00:33:00,673
And you were messing with him.
719
00:33:02,308 --> 00:33:04,343
Wow. Yeah, they're good.
720
00:33:04,377 --> 00:33:06,245
You're looking
at a psy-ops package here, sir.
721
00:33:06,279 --> 00:33:07,579
You can't trust that.
722
00:33:07,613 --> 00:33:09,517
Hmm. So, they set you up
to take the fall?
723
00:33:09,542 --> 00:33:10,742
Obviously.
724
00:33:11,885 --> 00:33:13,886
Look, Banks discharged me
with violent tendencies.
725
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:15,988
Next thing you know,
I'm the fall guy.
726
00:33:16,022 --> 00:33:17,455
And you took the bait,
727
00:33:17,490 --> 00:33:18,722
hook, line and sinker.
728
00:33:18,757 --> 00:33:21,458
Now, why wouldn't they frame me?
It's perfect.
729
00:33:21,493 --> 00:33:24,161
Prove that
you're telling the truth.
730
00:33:24,196 --> 00:33:25,897
May I?
731
00:33:29,401 --> 00:33:32,169
I never left my phone
or that matchbook.
732
00:33:32,204 --> 00:33:33,437
Call this number.
733
00:33:33,471 --> 00:33:35,505
Ask for Simon.
734
00:33:37,008 --> 00:33:39,642
He'll straighten it out.
735
00:33:42,780 --> 00:33:46,349
Baxter was the best damn C.I.
we've ever had, Director Vance.
736
00:33:46,384 --> 00:33:47,884
For how long?
737
00:33:47,919 --> 00:33:49,452
He's been working undercover
738
00:33:49,486 --> 00:33:52,254
with the DEA
for the past 12 months.
739
00:33:52,289 --> 00:33:55,424
Helped us shut down smugglers
we've been after forever.
740
00:33:55,458 --> 00:33:58,294
He was under DEA control
for the last year?
741
00:33:58,328 --> 00:34:00,629
Had our eyes on him
the whole time.
742
00:34:00,663 --> 00:34:02,998
If you think
he was involved with this,
743
00:34:03,033 --> 00:34:04,900
you're wrong.
744
00:34:04,935 --> 00:34:08,369
Somebody real good's
been playing you folks.
745
00:34:09,371 --> 00:34:12,540
So the person Dr. Ryan
has been pushing, Gibbs,
746
00:34:12,574 --> 00:34:14,742
isn't our killer.
747
00:34:28,504 --> 00:34:31,772
Cranston's sessions
with Banks.
748
00:34:31,807 --> 00:34:33,141
She's a quack.
749
00:34:34,143 --> 00:34:36,010
No, she's not.
750
00:34:36,045 --> 00:34:38,212
She's good, and
it made listening
751
00:34:38,247 --> 00:34:40,614
all the harder,
'cause...
752
00:34:42,319 --> 00:34:44,310
he was in real trouble.
753
00:34:45,583 --> 00:34:48,203
Is that your apology
about Baxter?
754
00:34:48,206 --> 00:34:50,442
I have a job to do.
755
00:34:50,476 --> 00:34:53,144
NCIS was looking
into a sensitive area
756
00:34:53,178 --> 00:34:55,146
at a critical time.
757
00:34:55,180 --> 00:34:58,450
We have protocols in place
to protect our mission.
758
00:34:58,484 --> 00:34:59,520
It's part of our rule book.
759
00:34:59,521 --> 00:35:02,123
Yeah, well, I got some rules
of my own, too.
760
00:35:02,157 --> 00:35:03,656
Rule number 42...
761
00:35:04,558 --> 00:35:05,892
Don't ever accept an apology
762
00:35:05,926 --> 00:35:07,527
from someone
who just sucker-punched you.
763
00:35:07,561 --> 00:35:11,297
I didn't apologize.
764
00:35:21,441 --> 00:35:23,442
Do you have children?
765
00:35:23,476 --> 00:35:25,344
I did.
766
00:35:25,378 --> 00:35:28,147
But you already know that.
767
00:35:30,050 --> 00:35:32,584
Yes. Kelly.
768
00:35:34,787 --> 00:35:37,188
And I'm sorry.
769
00:35:39,024 --> 00:35:41,859
Hey, Doc, my feet
aren't pointing at the door.
770
00:35:46,532 --> 00:35:49,667
The other day,
I was picking up my son, Parker,
771
00:35:49,701 --> 00:35:52,835
from soccer practice,
and he was...
772
00:35:52,870 --> 00:35:56,073
walking toward the
car, and not once...
773
00:35:56,107 --> 00:35:59,309
did he look over his shoulder.
774
00:36:00,778 --> 00:36:02,879
And that meant everything to me.
775
00:36:06,517 --> 00:36:09,552
In my job, I take precautions,
776
00:36:09,586 --> 00:36:12,955
and I don't know
how you found him, but...
777
00:36:12,989 --> 00:36:15,791
I believe everybody
deserves one secret,
778
00:36:15,825 --> 00:36:17,826
and...
779
00:36:17,860 --> 00:36:20,296
I'm asking... you
780
00:36:20,330 --> 00:36:22,731
if I can have this one.
781
00:36:24,933 --> 00:36:27,635
Okay.
782
00:36:28,537 --> 00:36:30,338
Thank you.
783
00:36:30,372 --> 00:36:31,939
I owe you...
784
00:36:31,974 --> 00:36:35,076
assuming you'll let me know
when you want to collect.
785
00:36:35,111 --> 00:36:37,212
I want to collect now.
786
00:36:38,747 --> 00:36:41,014
Someone with your
knowledge killed Banks.
787
00:36:41,048 --> 00:36:43,317
I want to know who.
788
00:36:45,853 --> 00:36:48,622
Whoever it is
has lost sight of...
789
00:36:48,656 --> 00:36:50,824
who we are and what we do.
790
00:36:50,858 --> 00:36:53,327
You got a name?
791
00:36:57,931 --> 00:37:00,133
Good luck.
792
00:37:15,648 --> 00:37:18,216
Banks's psy-ops files
are blocked, deleted
793
00:37:18,251 --> 00:37:19,651
or in no-go territory.
794
00:37:19,685 --> 00:37:21,586
Here. Try this.
795
00:37:21,621 --> 00:37:23,054
It's Ryan's cell phone.
796
00:37:23,088 --> 00:37:27,158
Isolate calls from psy-ops,
government-issued lines.
797
00:37:27,192 --> 00:37:27,224
There's five or six
different numbers here.
798
00:37:32,797 --> 00:37:34,798
Cross-reference
with incoming calls to Banks
799
00:37:34,832 --> 00:37:36,300
over the past month.
800
00:37:39,737 --> 00:37:41,605
Uh, there's just one,
boss, and they've
801
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,807
placed multiple calls to Banks
over the past two weeks.
802
00:37:44,841 --> 00:37:46,042
Kilmer? Baxter?
803
00:37:46,076 --> 00:37:47,009
No. Brian Mitchell.
804
00:37:47,044 --> 00:37:47,977
The psy-ops liaison
805
00:37:48,011 --> 00:37:48,978
who was working
with him directly.
806
00:37:49,012 --> 00:37:50,547
No, wait a minute--
there's a second
807
00:37:50,581 --> 00:37:51,714
cell number on Banks' account,
808
00:37:51,748 --> 00:37:53,149
and Mitchell sent dozens
of tech streams to it.
809
00:37:53,184 --> 00:37:54,250
Put it up.
810
00:37:54,285 --> 00:37:56,886
I can't.
They've all been erased.
811
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:58,221
Ziva, you're with me.
812
00:37:58,255 --> 00:38:00,055
They're in the cloud memory,
but it'll take time.
813
00:38:00,089 --> 00:38:01,056
DiNozzo, dial
both numbers
814
00:38:01,090 --> 00:38:03,692
three times;
hang up after one ring.
815
00:38:03,726 --> 00:38:04,859
Boss?
816
00:38:04,894 --> 00:38:07,196
Do it. And keep
sending me locations
817
00:38:07,230 --> 00:38:08,997
on Mitchell's cell.
818
00:38:09,899 --> 00:38:11,533
It's a fail-safe call.
819
00:38:12,368 --> 00:38:14,035
It's an old spy craft trick.
820
00:38:14,070 --> 00:38:15,903
Means something's going wrong.
821
00:38:15,937 --> 00:38:18,272
Parties are supposed to meet
at a predetermined location.
822
00:38:18,307 --> 00:38:21,642
- Kind of a rookie move, isn't it?
- Yeah.
823
00:38:21,677 --> 00:38:24,512
That's why it
just might work.
824
00:38:35,189 --> 00:38:37,357
Why did you
call me, Brian?
825
00:38:37,391 --> 00:38:40,927
I came as soon as I could.
826
00:38:40,961 --> 00:38:42,629
We agreed it
wouldn't be safe.
827
00:38:42,663 --> 00:38:44,464
This
will never work.
828
00:38:44,498 --> 00:38:47,399
You'll never have what you
want if you don't listen.
829
00:38:47,434 --> 00:38:48,734
You know what I want.
830
00:38:48,768 --> 00:38:49,935
You don't deserve it.
831
00:38:49,969 --> 00:38:51,136
You messed up big-time.
832
00:38:51,170 --> 00:38:53,505
I made your father
look unstable.
833
00:38:53,540 --> 00:38:55,774
I gave him the drugs;
I did what you said.
834
00:38:55,808 --> 00:38:58,611
I said to make it look
like he killed himself.
835
00:38:58,645 --> 00:39:01,647
If they figure out
I'm involved, I'll get nothing.
836
00:39:01,681 --> 00:39:03,148
I want that money.
837
00:39:03,182 --> 00:39:04,549
I just want you to be happy.
838
00:39:04,583 --> 00:39:06,984
I want to be happy.
839
00:39:07,018 --> 00:39:10,321
This isn't about us anymore.
840
00:39:10,356 --> 00:39:12,323
You killed my father, Brian.
841
00:39:12,358 --> 00:39:14,859
I will not go down
with you for this.
842
00:39:14,893 --> 00:39:16,494
Oh, I'm afraid you are.
843
00:39:16,528 --> 00:39:18,730
Put your hands
behind your back.
844
00:39:19,997 --> 00:39:22,366
- She's as guilty as I am.
- He's lying.
845
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,101
No, he-he forced me to do this.
846
00:39:25,136 --> 00:39:27,271
Somehow, I doubt that.
847
00:39:27,905 --> 00:39:29,573
That's a
nice girl.
848
00:39:29,607 --> 00:39:33,277
30 years, take her home
to meet the folks.
849
00:39:35,146 --> 00:39:37,713
Amber used me,
just like she used him.
850
00:39:37,748 --> 00:39:40,149
Mm-hmm.
and I never saw it coming.
851
00:39:40,183 --> 00:39:42,485
I thought she was
another broken teenager
852
00:39:42,519 --> 00:39:43,987
caught up in
an ugly divorce.
853
00:39:44,012 --> 00:39:45,212
Doc...
854
00:39:45,589 --> 00:39:48,023
you look for
the good in people.
855
00:39:48,057 --> 00:39:51,693
There... there's
not much to find.
856
00:39:56,432 --> 00:39:58,633
Hey, Ziva and I
are going for drinks.
857
00:39:58,668 --> 00:39:59,867
You want to come?
858
00:39:59,902 --> 00:40:01,336
Only if you're buying.
859
00:40:01,370 --> 00:40:03,204
Agent DiNozzo.
860
00:40:03,238 --> 00:40:05,206
Fred Seymour
from Accounting!
861
00:40:05,240 --> 00:40:06,608
Actually, good news.
862
00:40:06,642 --> 00:40:09,543
We traced the problem back
to a clerical error,
863
00:40:09,577 --> 00:40:11,812
which resulted in overpayments
to you, Agent McGee.
864
00:40:11,846 --> 00:40:14,348
Oh. Oh..
865
00:40:14,382 --> 00:40:16,116
Now the bad news.
Thanks to your request
866
00:40:16,150 --> 00:40:19,019
that we review your file,
uh, we discovered
867
00:40:19,053 --> 00:40:21,221
that we've been short
on your FICA withholdings
868
00:40:21,255 --> 00:40:23,156
for the previous five years.
869
00:40:23,191 --> 00:40:27,694
- What?
- So you owe us $2,997.33.
870
00:40:27,728 --> 00:40:29,595
Payable immediately.
871
00:40:29,630 --> 00:40:31,331
Enjoy your night.
872
00:40:31,365 --> 00:40:33,366
What?!
873
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,669
We'll be at the bar if you
want to drown your sorrows.
874
00:40:36,704 --> 00:40:38,671
What the...?
875
00:40:38,706 --> 00:40:41,005
What?
876
00:40:47,847 --> 00:40:49,848
Yeah. Gibbs.
877
00:40:49,882 --> 00:40:52,317
Hi. What are you doing?
878
00:40:54,887 --> 00:40:56,787
Well... I'm sleeping.
879
00:40:56,822 --> 00:40:59,557
It's 4:00 in the morning. What?
880
00:40:59,591 --> 00:41:01,525
Trying out my new phone.
881
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:03,093
My other one disappeared.
882
00:41:03,127 --> 00:41:04,395
Yeah? That what happened, huh?
883
00:41:04,429 --> 00:41:05,563
Sorry.
884
00:41:05,597 --> 00:41:08,165
I don't get much sleep.
885
00:41:08,199 --> 00:41:10,334
I've got a lot on my mind.
886
00:41:11,569 --> 00:41:13,636
Whose head you messing
with tonight, Doc?
887
00:41:14,739 --> 00:41:16,673
Probably my own.
888
00:41:16,707 --> 00:41:18,541
I shouldn't have called.
889
00:41:19,477 --> 00:41:21,344
How can I help?
890
00:41:21,379 --> 00:41:24,914
I just wanted to...
891
00:41:24,948 --> 00:41:27,616
thank you for...
892
00:41:27,650 --> 00:41:30,185
figuring out
what happened to Robert.
893
00:41:32,321 --> 00:41:33,856
Doing my job.
894
00:41:33,890 --> 00:41:36,057
I think you
already knew, though.
895
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,327
You make people
feel safe, Gibbs.
896
00:41:39,362 --> 00:41:41,530
It's a gift.
897
00:41:42,932 --> 00:41:44,999
Well, people need answers.
898
00:41:45,901 --> 00:41:48,102
I need breakfast.
899
00:41:49,605 --> 00:41:52,106
Okay.
900
00:41:52,140 --> 00:41:53,574
When?
901
00:41:53,609 --> 00:41:54,742
How about now?
902
00:41:56,879 --> 00:41:59,079
Well, I-I know a little...
903
00:41:59,114 --> 00:42:01,715
