Merry Christmas Eve.

Even though a blank page

14
00:00:48,194 --> 00:00:50,928

Good evening. I'm Guy Ross.
The nation's capital tonight

is experiencing
a city-wide Internet shutdown.

And WJGZ has just received word
that the interruption

of service may be the result of
a group of coordinated hackers.
25
00:01:28,668 --> 00:01:30,968
Federal authorities say they are
looking into the matter,

but there is no immediate cause
for alarm,

is this a coincidence

97
00:04:44,130 --> 00:04:46,197

Where is McGee?

00:04:58,077 --> 00:05:00,711
He is down in the cyber basement.
Along with everyone else,
104

looking for answers.
Or a connection.
105
00:05:02,915 --> 00:05:05,649
Or a lead. Anything, really.
Well, it sounds like there are
106
00:05:05,651 --> 00:05:07,885
enough people working
on this one right now, boss.
107
00:05:07,887 --> 00:05:11,055
Yeah, uh, and my sweatpants

McGEE: This is terrifying.
It's German.
138
00:06:12,685 --> 00:06:15,853
So St. Nicholas gives
gifts to the good kids,
139
00:06:15,855 --> 00:06:18,322
and Krampus kidnaps
the bad ones and eats them?
140
00:06:18,324 --> 00:06:21,659
America watered it down
to coal in a sock. Boring.
141
00:06:21,661 --> 00:06:23,027

No.
142

152
00:06:43,115 --> 00:06:44,648

Abby, we either

00:07:16,983 --> 00:07:18,482
I'm gonna be in charge.
170
00:07:18,484 --> 00:07:20,484
This could be
the worst Christmas ever.
171
00:07:20,486 --> 00:07:22,286
Come on, McGee,
172
00:07:22,288 --> 00:07:23,687
let your Grinch heart grow.
173
00:07:23,689 --> 00:07:27,391
Abby, listen, please, please
just keep this between us.
174
00:07:29,362 --> 00:07:30,995
Oof.
175
00:07:30,997 --> 00:07:33,364
(indistinct chatter,
phones ringing)
176
00:07:34,333 --> 00:07:38,268
Listen, boss, I know we need
to find this Krampus
177
00:07:38,270 --> 00:07:39,870
before whatever
he's planning happens.
178
00:07:39,872 --> 00:07:41,472
But talking to hackers?
179
00:07:41,474 --> 00:07:42,773
I mean, we're gonna go
to each prison
180
00:07:42,775 --> 00:07:44,074
and talk
to three criminals
181
00:07:44,076 --> 00:07:46,543
who aren't gonna answer
the questions we ask 'em.
182
00:07:46,545 --> 00:07:48,212
I just...
183
00:07:48,214 --> 00:07:49,980
I think it's a waste of time.
184
00:07:49,982 --> 00:07:51,248
I agree.
185
00:07:51,250 --> 00:07:52,216
Really?
186
00:07:52,218 --> 00:07:53,717
Yes. Which is
why they're coming here.
187
00:07:53,719 --> 00:07:55,986
Prison transports
will be here first thing.
188
00:07:55,988 --> 00:07:57,321
Oof.
189
00:07:57,323 --> 00:07:58,989
What? There a problem, Tim?
190
00:07:58,991 --> 00:08:01,859
No, boss.
It's a great plan.
191
00:08:02,695 --> 00:08:04,595
Tony's idea.
192
00:08:05,331 --> 00:08:07,364
So Tony's taking lead on this?
193
00:08:07,366 --> 00:08:08,432
(Gibbs chuckles)
194
00:08:08,434 --> 00:08:09,800
No, you are.
195
00:08:09,802 --> 00:08:11,869
You speak geek.
196
00:08:11,871 --> 00:08:13,537
TONY: Anything to
close this case
197
00:08:13,539 --> 00:08:16,073
and open my vacation--
so go get your binary buddies
198
00:08:16,075 --> 00:08:17,508
to cough up some info,
will you?
199
00:08:17,510 --> 00:08:20,277
Even if it means breaking
rule number one?
200
00:08:20,279 --> 00:08:21,879
Which one?
201
00:08:21,881 --> 00:08:23,113
Both.
202
00:08:23,115 --> 00:08:24,748
Never put
your suspects together,
203
00:08:24,750 --> 00:08:26,684
and never screw over
your partner.
204
00:08:27,758 --> 00:08:29,889
Merry Krampus.
205
00:08:41,888 --> 00:08:44,588
McGEE: We talk a lot about
fathers at NCIS.
206
00:08:44,590 --> 00:08:46,090
And for good reason.
207
00:08:46,092 --> 00:08:48,225
As federal agents,
we not only deal
208
00:08:48,227 --> 00:08:50,027
with the legal code
of justice--
209
00:08:50,029 --> 00:08:52,663
we also have a personal code
of rights and wrongs,
210
00:08:52,665 --> 00:08:54,265
instilled by our parents.
211
00:08:54,267 --> 00:08:55,700
The disciplinary code
212
00:08:55,702 --> 00:08:59,503
of Team Gibbs is
heavily influenced by our dads.
213
00:08:59,505 --> 00:09:01,339
Gibbs learned from his father.
214
00:09:01,341 --> 00:09:03,908
Tony's still trying
to figure out his.
215
00:09:03,910 --> 00:09:06,610
I hear Bishop's dad
has rules of his own.
216
00:09:06,612 --> 00:09:09,213
And Ziva's dad was, well,
217
00:09:09,215 --> 00:09:11,148
not kosher.
218
00:09:11,150 --> 00:09:13,551
But now with three criminal
computer hackers coming
219
00:09:13,553 --> 00:09:16,287
into NCIS, it was my turn
to play the parent.
220
00:09:16,289 --> 00:09:20,358
And I must admit, Dad, I saw
shades of you coming through.
221
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,627
What the hell is this?
They're all in one van?
222
00:09:23,629 --> 00:09:26,130
Responsible
government spending.
223
00:09:26,132 --> 00:09:28,132
Oh, why start now?
224
00:09:28,134 --> 00:09:30,634
You know, I didn't actually think that
we were gonna break rule number one.
225
00:09:30,636 --> 00:09:34,171
We use it to our advantage.
From what I understand, uh,
226
00:09:34,173 --> 00:09:38,075
computer geeks can be
a little competitive.
227
00:09:40,847 --> 00:09:41,847
This sucks.
228
00:09:41,848 --> 00:09:43,347
When are we going back
to prison?
229
00:09:43,349 --> 00:09:44,382
Hey, guys.
230
00:09:44,384 --> 00:09:45,349
Nice to see you.
231
00:09:45,351 --> 00:09:47,118
We're missing
prisoner gift exchange.
232
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:48,586
KHAN:
And the holiday chow.
233
00:09:48,588 --> 00:09:50,454
This is the only week
we get two rolls.
234
00:09:50,456 --> 00:09:52,623
My gift exchange
isn't until Wednesday,
235
00:09:52,625 --> 00:09:54,492
but I still need to shop
for my cell mate.
236
00:09:54,494 --> 00:09:56,127
He's very... picky.
237
00:09:56,129 --> 00:09:57,661
Shut up and get out
of the truck.
238
00:09:57,663 --> 00:09:58,929
Line up outside the van.
239
00:09:58,931 --> 00:10:02,633
Nobody say anything.
This is voluntary rendition.
240
00:10:02,635 --> 00:10:03,901
My lawyer's checking in
to make sure
241
00:10:03,903 --> 00:10:05,236
that we're still in America!
242
00:10:05,238 --> 00:10:07,638
Inside voices, children.
243
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,140
No talking, inmate.
244
00:10:09,142 --> 00:10:11,809
Oh, I remember you.
245
00:10:11,811 --> 00:10:13,611
You're just the computer nerd.
246
00:10:13,613 --> 00:10:15,246
Who's really
in charge here?
247
00:10:15,248 --> 00:10:16,547
Not Agent Gibbs.
248
00:10:16,549 --> 00:10:18,182
I'm not allowed to be in
his eyeline ever again.
249
00:10:18,206 --> 00:10:19,084
Hey.
250
00:10:19,085 --> 00:10:20,151
No talking.
251
00:10:20,153 --> 00:10:21,819
I'm the one in charge,
252
00:10:21,821 --> 00:10:24,422
and you're gonna respect
this badge or else
253
00:10:24,424 --> 00:10:25,723
you'll never...
254
00:10:25,725 --> 00:10:28,025
get another roll again
in your life.
255
00:10:29,462 --> 00:10:31,362
(whispers):
Don't let 'em get to you.
256
00:10:31,364 --> 00:10:33,197
Which is easier said than done.
257
00:10:33,199 --> 00:10:35,466
That's why
it's rule number ten.
258
00:10:35,468 --> 00:10:37,435
When did you start caring
about the rules?
259
00:10:37,437 --> 00:10:39,670
My rules.
Yeah? Which ones?
260
00:10:39,672 --> 00:10:41,338
Rule ten.
261
00:10:41,340 --> 00:10:43,908
Never get personally involved
on a case.
262
00:10:43,910 --> 00:10:45,976
I think I killed someone, Tim.
263
00:10:45,978 --> 00:10:47,812
Sarah, I'm a federal agent.
I have a responsibility.
264
00:10:47,814 --> 00:10:49,647
Tim, I didn't come
to a federal agent.
265
00:10:49,649 --> 00:10:51,282
I came to my big brother.
266
00:10:51,284 --> 00:10:53,083
Forgive me, Director,
for not putting the integrity
267
00:10:53,085 --> 00:10:55,953
of NCIS before my sister.
268
00:10:56,689 --> 00:10:58,189
It won't happen again.
269
00:10:58,191 --> 00:11:00,858
And this is...?
270
00:11:00,860 --> 00:11:03,260
A peace offering
while you're here.
271
00:11:08,801 --> 00:11:11,235
Ugh... trade me.
272
00:11:11,237 --> 00:11:13,237
These are too small
and jingoistic.
273
00:11:13,239 --> 00:11:14,572
Oh, no, actually, those
are mine from my locker.
274
00:11:14,574 --> 00:11:16,006
He won't want them.
275
00:11:16,008 --> 00:11:19,276
Oh, I'd be more than happy to
get in your pants, Agent Bishop.
276
00:11:19,278 --> 00:11:20,744
HEIDI:
Imagine,
277
00:11:20,746 --> 00:11:22,313
a horny computer geek.
278
00:11:22,315 --> 00:11:23,547
Oh, it's an
open invitation.
279
00:11:23,549 --> 00:11:25,716
I can be hot
for kindergarten teacher.
280
00:11:25,718 --> 00:11:28,652
(sighing, groaning)
281
00:11:30,223 --> 00:11:31,555
What's that
supposed to mean?
282
00:11:31,557 --> 00:11:32,957
Exactly what it says.
283
00:11:32,959 --> 00:11:36,126
No CP for you
and you and you.
284
00:11:36,128 --> 00:11:37,094
It's also
285
00:11:37,096 --> 00:11:38,329
an obscure film reference--
286
00:11:38,331 --> 00:11:39,331
Breakfast Club.
287
00:11:39,332 --> 00:11:41,599
More old movies? Move on, man.
288
00:11:41,601 --> 00:11:42,733
If we can't use computers,
289
00:11:42,735 --> 00:11:44,902
how are we supposed
to help you I.D. Krampus?
290
00:11:46,305 --> 00:11:48,005
We can't anyway.
291
00:11:48,007 --> 00:11:50,174
Because we don't know anything.
292
00:11:51,077 --> 00:11:53,043
Kevin...
293
00:11:53,045 --> 00:11:54,278
Hey.
294
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,280
(whispering): We talked about
this in the van, man.
295
00:11:56,549 --> 00:11:57,982
Come on, Kev.
296
00:11:57,984 --> 00:11:59,683
Don't side with them.
297
00:11:59,685 --> 00:12:01,952
It's the first day
of prison all over again.
298
00:12:01,954 --> 00:12:03,254
Come on, man.
299
00:12:03,256 --> 00:12:04,221
Come on!
300
00:12:04,223 --> 00:12:06,390
Okay.
301
00:12:06,392 --> 00:12:07,525
Kevin...
302
00:12:07,527 --> 00:12:08,792
Only because it's true.
303
00:12:08,794 --> 00:12:10,928
I wish I knew
something to help.
304
00:12:10,930 --> 00:12:13,063
Oh, come on!
Are you such hardened criminals
305
00:12:13,065 --> 00:12:15,399
that you don't care
about anyone on the outside?
306
00:12:15,401 --> 00:12:17,301
- Mm. - Eh.
- Mm.
307
00:12:17,303 --> 00:12:19,670
You all know Krampus.
HEIDI: Knew him.
308
00:12:19,672 --> 00:12:22,273
People convicted of computer
crimes don't get Internet
309
00:12:22,275 --> 00:12:25,676
privileges in jail, and I've
been in for over a year now.
310
00:12:25,678 --> 00:12:26,944
Two years.
311
00:12:26,946 --> 00:12:29,313
Three months, but the first
months are really hard.
312
00:12:29,315 --> 00:12:30,581
Anyway,
313
00:12:30,583 --> 00:12:33,717
the point is, boys and girls,
in Internet years,
314
00:12:33,719 --> 00:12:35,719
we've been out of contact
with our world
315
00:12:35,721 --> 00:12:37,388
and your hacker for decades.
316
00:12:37,390 --> 00:12:39,890
Until we get computers,
or access to the MTAC.
317
00:12:39,892 --> 00:12:41,358
Mm-hmm.
(laughs) Yeah.
318
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,661
HEIDI:
The Internet's out citywide.
319
00:12:43,663 --> 00:12:45,162
You wouldn't have brought us in
320
00:12:45,164 --> 00:12:47,164
unless something bigger
was about to happen.
321
00:12:47,166 --> 00:12:51,235
We might be willing to
figure out what that is.
322
00:12:51,237 --> 00:12:52,937
Mm-hmm.
323
00:12:52,939 --> 00:12:56,173
(phone ringing)
324
00:12:56,175 --> 00:12:58,042
Ah. Yeah, boss.
325
00:12:58,044 --> 00:13:00,411
(Gibbs speaking indistinctly)
TONY: Uh-huh.
326
00:13:00,413 --> 00:13:03,414
Okay, got it.
327
00:13:03,416 --> 00:13:06,183
The attack?
Do we know what it is?
328
00:13:06,185 --> 00:13:07,985
It's over.
329
00:13:11,891 --> 00:13:13,424
(elevator bell dings)
330
00:13:13,426 --> 00:13:15,025
The Internet's back on?!
331
00:13:15,027 --> 00:13:17,227
The real Internet,
for the huddled DC masses?
332
00:13:17,229 --> 00:13:18,696
I didn't touch anything.
333
00:13:18,698 --> 00:13:20,097
But it does mean the hackers get
334
00:13:20,099 --> 00:13:22,232
to go back to jail,
which is great news.
335
00:13:22,234 --> 00:13:23,467
It's weird news.
336
00:13:23,469 --> 00:13:25,469
I mean, there were
no residual effects?
337
00:13:25,471 --> 00:13:27,171
Bad guys didn't leave
anything behind?
338
00:13:27,173 --> 00:13:28,472
No viruses? Nothing?
339
00:13:28,474 --> 00:13:30,741
No. I mean,
the attacks just slowed down
340
00:13:30,743 --> 00:13:32,209
and then eventually stopped.
341
00:13:32,211 --> 00:13:33,677
I'm running
server tests now.
342
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,179
I don't know, McGee.
343
00:13:35,181 --> 00:13:37,214
I just feel like we're getting
played here, like we're gonna
344
00:13:37,216 --> 00:13:38,649
wake up
on Christmas morning, and...
345
00:13:38,651 --> 00:13:40,351
(phone ringing) ...all the trees
and presents
346
00:13:40,353 --> 00:13:42,019
in Whoville are
gonna be gone.
347
00:13:42,688 --> 00:13:44,254
Oh, Sarah.
348
00:13:44,256 --> 00:13:45,623
Do you have Christmas plans
with the family?
349
00:13:45,625 --> 00:13:48,258
Yep, the whole fam,
including Dad.
350
00:13:48,260 --> 00:13:49,860
Oh, that's good.
351
00:13:49,862 --> 00:13:53,030
So, are his chemotherapy
treatments working?
352
00:13:53,032 --> 00:13:54,999
(computer chiming, blipping)
353
00:13:55,001 --> 00:13:56,734
Oh, server test
came back.
354
00:13:58,738 --> 00:14:00,771
Uh-oh.
I knew it!
355
00:14:00,773 --> 00:14:03,907
A single server farm in
Anacostia is still under attack.
356
00:14:03,909 --> 00:14:06,877
Why would all the other attacks
just stop?
357
00:14:08,047 --> 00:14:10,948
Unless we are being played.
358
00:14:10,950 --> 00:14:13,350
McGEE:
Rules number 36 and 40.
359
00:14:13,352 --> 00:14:15,853
And then, of course, there's
my favorite rule, number 36.
360
00:14:15,855 --> 00:14:17,888
If you feel like
you're being played,
361
00:14:17,890 --> 00:14:19,923
you probably are.
362
00:14:19,925 --> 00:14:21,325
Gibbs mentioned rule 40.
363
00:14:21,327 --> 00:14:22,826
If you think someone's out
to get you, they are?
364
00:14:22,828 --> 00:14:25,329
This one is just addressed
to “NCIS Special Agent.”
365
00:14:25,331 --> 00:14:26,930
I think that's
mine, McGee.
366
00:14:29,235 --> 00:14:30,701
Evacuate, get everybody
out of here.
367
00:14:30,703 --> 00:14:32,102
Abbs!
Oh!
368
00:14:38,544 --> 00:14:40,778
McGEE: Suffering the consequences
of the rules is like
369
00:14:40,780 --> 00:14:42,746
being sent to your room
without dinner.
370
00:14:42,748 --> 00:14:44,648
You know, Dad,
when you did that,
371
00:14:44,650 --> 00:14:47,718
Mom always brought me
a grilled ham-and-cheese
372
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,387
20 minutes later.
373
00:14:50,389 --> 00:14:52,790
But your punishments
still stung.
374
00:14:52,792 --> 00:14:55,192
However, as a kid,
I never realized
375
00:14:55,194 --> 00:14:57,928
that enforcing the rules
can feel just as bad.
376
00:14:57,930 --> 00:14:59,963
You don't want
to be the bad guy,
377
00:14:59,965 --> 00:15:02,132
and whether you're sending kids
to their room
378
00:15:02,134 --> 00:15:05,302
or criminals to prison,
sometimes it has to be done.
379
00:15:06,105 --> 00:15:07,604
Gibbs! Gibbs!
Gibbs! Gibbs! Gibbs!
380
00:15:07,606 --> 00:15:09,106
The citywide attack was just
381
00:15:09,108 --> 00:15:11,442
Krampus's little helpers
causing a distraction
382
00:15:11,444 --> 00:15:13,410
so he could hack a lone server.
383
00:15:13,412 --> 00:15:15,913
We know what he's after, boss.
Congressional e-mails?
384
00:15:15,915 --> 00:15:18,248
ABBY: Krampus wants
to send a message
385
00:15:18,250 --> 00:15:19,483
to the naughty U.S. government.
386
00:15:19,485 --> 00:15:21,185
KHAN:
More leaked crotch pics!
387
00:15:21,187 --> 00:15:22,953
Finally, truth
in Washington.
388
00:15:22,955 --> 00:15:24,388
McGEE:
Hey, government
389
00:15:24,390 --> 00:15:27,357
e-mail accounts contain more
than just lewd selfies, okay?
390
00:15:27,359 --> 00:15:28,625
ABBY:
Yeah, there's deployments
391
00:15:28,627 --> 00:15:31,528
and anti-terrorist
strategy memos.
392
00:15:31,530 --> 00:15:34,498
Giving ISIS a Christmas present
this good, they might convert.
393
00:15:34,500 --> 00:15:35,999
Good luck with
that, sweet cheeks.
394
00:15:36,001 --> 00:15:37,001
Stop!
395
00:15:37,002 --> 00:15:38,902
Thanks, Gibbs,
but I can handle myself.
396
00:15:38,904 --> 00:15:40,337
No, not him. You.
397
00:15:42,141 --> 00:15:44,475
They're not going anywhere.
398
00:15:44,477 --> 00:15:46,910
Boss, they're-they're
talented hackers,
399
00:15:46,912 --> 00:15:49,046
but we can't let
them near a computer.
400
00:15:49,048 --> 00:15:50,714
How else are
they gonna help?
401
00:15:50,716 --> 00:15:52,883
Figure it out, McGee.
402
00:15:52,885 --> 00:15:55,552
Don't waste good.
403
00:15:55,554 --> 00:15:57,321
McGEE:
That's rule number five.
404
00:15:57,323 --> 00:15:59,223
Sometimes it's hard
to tell the difference
405
00:15:59,225 --> 00:16:01,225
between rules and punishments.
406
00:16:01,227 --> 00:16:03,527
Go.
407
00:16:11,738 --> 00:16:13,671
Where did Tony
and the hot one go?
408
00:16:13,674 --> 00:16:15,607
KEVIN: The team likely went to go
check out the server farm.
409
00:16:15,609 --> 00:16:17,075
Standard procedure.
410
00:16:17,077 --> 00:16:18,977
You wish
you were there, daddy-o?
411
00:16:18,979 --> 00:16:20,512
KEVIN: Server technicians
would have taken
412
00:16:20,514 --> 00:16:22,915
the entire place offline
after NCIS discovered
413
00:16:22,917 --> 00:16:24,316
it was the target.
414
00:16:24,318 --> 00:16:26,285
Yeah, 12 hours later.
Krampus has the data.
415
00:16:26,287 --> 00:16:27,686
It's just a matter of when
416
00:16:27,688 --> 00:16:29,388
he releases it.
You need to get us online.
417
00:16:29,390 --> 00:16:31,456
Or the Intel leaks,
418
00:16:31,458 --> 00:16:33,559
and the country sees
Congress's ineptitude.
419
00:16:33,561 --> 00:16:34,860
Win-win.
420
00:16:34,862 --> 00:16:36,895
KEVIN: If I were them,
I wouldn't let you guys
421
00:16:36,897 --> 00:16:38,363
near computers, either.
422
00:16:38,365 --> 00:16:41,233
What? You were them,
which makes you a traitor.
423
00:16:41,235 --> 00:16:43,735
(phone chimes)
424
00:16:43,737 --> 00:16:45,537
(beep)
425
00:16:52,346 --> 00:16:54,413
If they move, shoot 'em.
KHAN: Hey!
426
00:16:54,415 --> 00:16:56,782
If you're not gonna talk to us,
why the hell are we in here?
427
00:16:56,784 --> 00:16:58,183
I want my two rolls!
428
00:16:58,185 --> 00:17:00,819
Your “roll” is staying
out of the way.
429
00:17:01,989 --> 00:17:06,191
McGEE: Of course, rules are up
for interpretation.
430
00:17:06,193 --> 00:17:09,628
Gibbs's rules aren't just
for being a good agent,
431
00:17:09,630 --> 00:17:11,997
no more than your rules
about not using the kitchen
432
00:17:11,999 --> 00:17:15,033
for science projects
were about food safety, Dad.
433
00:17:18,072 --> 00:17:21,073
So, the dead guy was
at the server farm, huh?
434
00:17:21,075 --> 00:17:22,908
Hooked up to a utility box.
435
00:17:22,910 --> 00:17:24,910
Hacking servers using
on-site data lines
436
00:17:24,912 --> 00:17:27,079
is risky and unusual, but...
437
00:17:27,081 --> 00:17:28,347
It possible?
438
00:17:28,349 --> 00:17:30,015
It is that magic time of year
439
00:17:30,017 --> 00:17:31,216
when anything's possible.
440
00:17:31,218 --> 00:17:33,385
McGEE: Who is he?
GIBBS: Uh, no I.D.
441
00:17:33,387 --> 00:17:35,253
His prints aren't
in the system.
442
00:17:35,255 --> 00:17:37,022
You recognize him?
443
00:17:37,024 --> 00:17:39,558
Boss, that's not how
anonymous message boards
444
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,394
and hackers usually work.
445
00:17:42,396 --> 00:17:43,862
No, don't recognize him.
446
00:17:43,864 --> 00:17:45,631
Ducky's got the body in Autopsy?
447
00:17:45,633 --> 00:17:47,532
KHAN:
Field trip!
448
00:17:47,534 --> 00:17:50,569
Who wants to
see a dead body?
449
00:17:50,571 --> 00:17:52,638
McGEE: What are you guys
doing out here?
450
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,172
I told you to shoot 'em.
451
00:17:54,174 --> 00:17:55,540
Uh, my idea, Tim.
452
00:17:55,542 --> 00:17:56,875
HEIDI:
Those are sorry excuses
453
00:17:56,877 --> 00:17:58,276
for personal
computers.
454
00:17:58,278 --> 00:17:59,778
Nice monitors.
455
00:17:59,780 --> 00:18:01,146
They're government issued.
456
00:18:01,148 --> 00:18:03,215
By the First
Continental Congress?
457
00:18:03,217 --> 00:18:04,349
(Khan laughs)
458
00:18:04,351 --> 00:18:06,518
Hey, MTAC.
459
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,120
Bet the monitors
are newer in there.
460
00:18:08,122 --> 00:18:09,287
Not really.
461
00:18:09,289 --> 00:18:11,623
Enough. You're gonna
identify the body.
462
00:18:11,625 --> 00:18:13,225
Come on, bring 'em down.
463
00:18:13,227 --> 00:18:17,663
Wait-- boss, you want them
to go to Autopsy?
464
00:18:17,665 --> 00:18:19,698
People online don't know
what each other look like.
465
00:18:19,700 --> 00:18:21,133
It's-it's anonymous,
it's impersonal.
466
00:18:21,135 --> 00:18:25,404
Tim, it's about to
get very personal.
467
00:18:25,406 --> 00:18:29,708
The mean and very
raggedy-looking Belsnickel,
468
00:18:29,710 --> 00:18:31,376
Knecht Ruprecht
with his bag of ashes.
469
00:18:31,378 --> 00:18:33,779
Oh, and the creature-like
470
00:18:33,781 --> 00:18:36,048
Krampus with his rusty nails...
471
00:18:36,050 --> 00:18:38,550
(groans) and chains and bells.
I mean, what better way
472
00:18:38,552 --> 00:18:40,719
to show the light
of Father Christmas
473
00:18:40,721 --> 00:18:43,822
than to examine
the dark alternatives?
474
00:18:43,824 --> 00:18:45,090
GIBBS:
Cause of death, Duck?
475
00:18:45,092 --> 00:18:46,458
Uh, well, organs
476
00:18:46,460 --> 00:18:49,728
show signs of malnutrition
and enlargement.
477
00:18:49,730 --> 00:18:51,363
They are consistent
with exhaustion
478
00:18:51,365 --> 00:18:53,031
and high blood
pressure.
479
00:18:53,033 --> 00:18:55,233
A heart attack is
not out of the question.
480
00:18:55,235 --> 00:18:57,602
KHAN: I read about
a South Korean dude
481
00:18:57,604 --> 00:19:00,639
who died from playing video
games for 27 days straight.
482
00:19:00,641 --> 00:19:02,040
Urban legend.
483
00:19:02,042 --> 00:19:06,378
No, no, no, no, what Mr. Khan
is saying is possible.
484
00:19:06,380 --> 00:19:08,380
Prolonged lack of sleep
and improper nutrition
485
00:19:08,382 --> 00:19:10,849
cause immense stresses
on the body.
486
00:19:10,851 --> 00:19:12,551
KEVIN:
So, did this guy die while
487
00:19:12,553 --> 00:19:14,119
extreme hacking the servers?
488
00:19:14,121 --> 00:19:16,054
Oh, it's inconclusive thus far.
489
00:19:16,056 --> 00:19:18,090
But I have estimated
the time of death
490
00:19:18,092 --> 00:19:20,225
as late last night
or early this morning.
491
00:19:20,227 --> 00:19:23,395
Oh, Krampus called in the threat
to the media at 10:00 a.m.
492
00:19:23,397 --> 00:19:24,863
Mm.
It's not him.
493
00:19:24,865 --> 00:19:27,028
No, if he was hacking on-site,
he'd have a computer with him.
494
00:19:27,029 --> 00:19:27,676
Right.
495
00:19:27,700 --> 00:19:29,364
It would help I.D. him,
Agent Gibbs.
496
00:19:32,406 --> 00:19:34,973
In the snow, all night long.
497
00:19:34,975 --> 00:19:37,142
That's gonna need
to be dried out before using.
498
00:19:37,144 --> 00:19:38,810
Six to eight hours.
Yeah, more like 12.
499
00:19:38,812 --> 00:19:40,178
HEIDI: Well, not if
it's a solid-state drive.
500
00:19:40,180 --> 00:19:41,446
It wouldn't take as long.
501
00:19:41,448 --> 00:19:43,315
We can't afford to wait around
while Krampus decides
502
00:19:43,317 --> 00:19:45,550
when and where to leak
the sensitive Intel.
503
00:19:45,552 --> 00:19:47,686
This guy's not Krampus.
He works for him.
504
00:19:47,688 --> 00:19:49,521
A lackey.
KHAN: Right, but if we can I.D. dead guy,
505
00:19:49,523 --> 00:19:51,957
we connect him
to Krampus, and...
506
00:19:51,959 --> 00:19:53,325
(Khan laughs)
507
00:19:53,327 --> 00:19:55,627
Not that we care.
508
00:19:55,629 --> 00:19:57,395
No, never thought you did.
509
00:19:57,397 --> 00:19:59,831
We're the bad guys,
remember?
510
00:20:01,135 --> 00:20:04,069
Even Santa Claus needs
a team of elves.
511
00:20:04,071 --> 00:20:06,004
McGEE:
Another Gibbs rule.
512
00:20:06,006 --> 00:20:07,172
SHEPARD:
Rule number 15--
513
00:20:07,174 --> 00:20:08,540
always work as a team.
514
00:20:08,542 --> 00:20:10,242
Okay, more left.
515
00:20:10,244 --> 00:20:12,310
(grunting, Tony bellowing)
516
00:20:13,413 --> 00:20:14,446
Oh.
517
00:20:14,448 --> 00:20:15,514
Oh.
518
00:20:15,516 --> 00:20:16,715
(grunting)
519
00:20:16,717 --> 00:20:18,016
Oh, come on.
520
00:20:18,652 --> 00:20:21,019
Aah! It's about time.
521
00:20:23,891 --> 00:20:26,525
I love you, McGee.
522
00:20:26,527 --> 00:20:29,861
So, I guess this whole teamwork
thing is out the window?
523
00:20:29,863 --> 00:20:31,329
No way!
524
00:20:31,331 --> 00:20:33,565
Working together
is always better.
525
00:20:33,567 --> 00:20:35,667
Then why did Agent Gibbs
leave us down here?
526
00:20:35,669 --> 00:20:36,902
And why won't you
527
00:20:36,904 --> 00:20:38,303
let us into your lab?
528
00:20:38,305 --> 00:20:39,305
Hey!
529
00:20:39,306 --> 00:20:41,039
Stay in the line of sight.
530
00:20:41,041 --> 00:20:42,140
I'm confused.
531
00:20:42,142 --> 00:20:43,809
Do you trust
us or not?
532
00:20:43,811 --> 00:20:47,078
It's like... A Christmas Carol.
533
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,981
Scrooge was shown all
the facts, and what
534
00:20:49,983 --> 00:20:51,983
he does with them is up to him.
535
00:20:51,985 --> 00:20:53,451
So, we're-we're Scrooge?
536
00:20:53,453 --> 00:20:55,520
We're supposed to just
have a change of heart?
537
00:20:55,522 --> 00:20:57,155
HEIDI:
Because we don't know anything.
538
00:20:57,157 --> 00:20:59,791
So, can we just skip
to Christmas future?
539
00:20:59,793 --> 00:21:01,793
If only wishing made it so.
540
00:21:01,795 --> 00:21:03,862
(phone chimes)
541
00:21:03,864 --> 00:21:05,230
Another dead body?
542
00:21:05,232 --> 00:21:06,898
No, it's my sister.
543
00:21:06,900 --> 00:21:08,600
We're coordinating
Christmas presents.
544
00:21:08,602 --> 00:21:11,002
Hey, uh, you
never did say
545
00:21:11,004 --> 00:21:14,606
how your dad's doing
on his treatments.
546
00:21:14,608 --> 00:21:17,175
Well, chemo worked
until it didn't.
547
00:21:17,177 --> 00:21:18,910
Surgery is our only option now.
548
00:21:18,912 --> 00:21:21,279
Luckily, he's got one this week.
549
00:21:21,281 --> 00:21:25,217
That's why you didn't want
to do all this.
550
00:21:25,219 --> 00:21:27,652
McGee, you should have
said something.
551
00:21:27,654 --> 00:21:30,088
HEIDI:
It's a Christmas miracle!
552
00:21:30,090 --> 00:21:32,023
You're gonna want to see this.
553
00:21:41,902 --> 00:21:43,068
Are those...?
554
00:21:43,070 --> 00:21:44,336
New computer monitors.
555
00:21:44,338 --> 00:21:46,504
How long have they been
in there?
556
00:21:46,506 --> 00:21:47,973
This invoice is dated
three years ago.
557
00:21:47,975 --> 00:21:49,908
And it just says “Bullpen.”
558
00:21:49,910 --> 00:21:52,010
Your tax dollars
at work.
559
00:21:52,012 --> 00:21:53,945
B-Bishop?
560
00:21:53,947 --> 00:21:55,881
Can't talk
given present company.
561
00:21:55,883 --> 00:21:57,916
McGEE: Because rules number three
and eight
562
00:21:57,918 --> 00:21:59,451
just came into play, Dad.
563
00:21:59,453 --> 00:22:01,753
Rule number three:
Don't believe what you're told.
564
00:22:01,755 --> 00:22:03,188
Double check.
565
00:22:03,190 --> 00:22:05,123
Rule number eight is going
to save you, McGee.
566
00:22:05,125 --> 00:22:06,691
TONY:
Never date a co-worker?
567
00:22:06,693 --> 00:22:08,526
Never go anywhere
without your knife.
568
00:22:08,528 --> 00:22:10,262
TONY:
I thought that was nine.
569
00:22:10,264 --> 00:22:11,363
Never take anything
for granted.
570
00:22:11,365 --> 00:22:12,964
McGEE:
It's just occurred to me
571
00:22:12,966 --> 00:22:16,635
that rules number three, eight,
36 and 40 are the same thing.
572
00:22:16,637 --> 00:22:20,372
And with two rule number ones
and two number threes,
573
00:22:20,374 --> 00:22:24,542
I'm starting to question that
these are honest mistakes.
574
00:22:24,544 --> 00:22:27,045
Is Gibbs making up these rules
as he goes?
575
00:22:27,047 --> 00:22:28,480
Do all parents?
576
00:22:28,482 --> 00:22:29,948
TONY:
So...
577
00:22:29,950 --> 00:22:31,249
Heidi lied to us, boss.
578
00:22:31,251 --> 00:22:32,751
Turns out she was
granted an hour
579
00:22:32,753 --> 00:22:34,152
of unsupervised computer use,
for good behavior.
580
00:22:34,154 --> 00:22:36,321
“Supervised” doesn't
mean monitored.
581
00:22:36,323 --> 00:22:38,556
GIBBS: Pull prison computer records.
Already did.
582
00:22:40,260 --> 00:22:43,028
Heidi has been using
an anonymous message board.
583
00:22:43,030 --> 00:22:46,131
The prison's site blocker
missed it, but I didn't.
584
00:22:46,133 --> 00:22:47,666
Who'd she talk to?
Well,
585
00:22:47,668 --> 00:22:49,134
I used the prison
computers' key logger,
586
00:22:49,136 --> 00:22:52,003
so we only know
what she typed.
587
00:22:52,873 --> 00:22:54,873
Krampus.
588
00:22:54,875 --> 00:22:56,374
Heidi played matchmaker.
589
00:22:56,376 --> 00:22:58,176
Hooked him up
with her underground contacts
590
00:22:58,178 --> 00:23:00,011
to coordinate
the citywide attack.
591
00:23:00,013 --> 00:23:02,013
Location?
592
00:23:02,015 --> 00:23:03,515
More untraceable usernames.
593
00:23:03,517 --> 00:23:05,550
But it does prove
that Heidi knows Krampus.
594
00:23:05,552 --> 00:23:07,285
She could lead us to him.
595
00:23:07,287 --> 00:23:09,321
Could, but hasn't.
596
00:23:10,524 --> 00:23:14,159
No, not yet.
597
00:23:25,716 --> 00:23:27,916
(mellow Christmas jazz plays)
598
00:23:27,918 --> 00:23:29,985
McGEE: If you're lost, Dad,
let me recap.
599
00:23:29,987 --> 00:23:33,054
Sensitive Intel was stolen
from a downed Internet server
600
00:23:33,056 --> 00:23:34,589
by a hacker named Krampus.
601
00:23:34,591 --> 00:23:38,426
If leaked, national security
would be at risk.
602
00:23:38,428 --> 00:23:40,195
So we brought in
three criminal hackers
603
00:23:40,197 --> 00:23:42,063
to help track down Krampus,
604
00:23:42,065 --> 00:23:44,466
although they've done
anything but.
605
00:23:44,468 --> 00:23:46,268
In fact,
we just discovered one of them
606
00:23:46,270 --> 00:23:48,003
has been in recent contact
with him,
607
00:23:48,005 --> 00:23:49,738
and is fully aware
of his plot.
608
00:23:49,740 --> 00:23:52,574
Our only advantage is that she
doesn't know we're onto her.
609
00:23:52,576 --> 00:23:54,509
(elevator bell dings)
610
00:23:54,511 --> 00:23:56,111
KHAN:
Tony.
611
00:23:56,113 --> 00:23:57,345
Miss us already?
612
00:23:57,347 --> 00:23:58,947
You have a call
from your lawyer.
613
00:23:58,949 --> 00:24:00,081
Come on.
614
00:24:00,083 --> 00:24:01,416
Ah.
615
00:24:01,418 --> 00:24:02,851
Told you he'd check up.
616
00:24:02,853 --> 00:24:04,119
The rest of you, no.
617
00:24:04,121 --> 00:24:06,054
You're going
to the conference room.
618
00:24:06,056 --> 00:24:09,224
McGEE: Did I accuse you of making up
parenting strategies
619
00:24:09,226 --> 00:24:11,059
as you went along, Dad?
620
00:24:11,061 --> 00:24:13,962
Well, I'm beginning
to understand the feeling,
621
00:24:13,964 --> 00:24:17,532
because we were about to trust
a convicted cyber criminal.
622
00:24:17,534 --> 00:24:19,301
Where's my phone call?
623
00:24:22,973 --> 00:24:25,807
Wait a minute, there is no call
from my lawyer, is there?
624
00:24:26,777 --> 00:24:27,976
GIBBS:
Nope.
625
00:24:27,978 --> 00:24:29,110
Sit down.
626
00:24:29,112 --> 00:24:30,612
This another ruse?
627
00:24:30,614 --> 00:24:32,314
Yes, it is.
628
00:24:32,316 --> 00:24:35,283
But this time
you'll be in on it.
629
00:24:35,285 --> 00:24:36,685
What are you talking about?
630
00:24:36,687 --> 00:24:39,588
Krampus is still out there,
631
00:24:39,590 --> 00:24:41,456
so we're forced
to be creative.
632
00:24:41,458 --> 00:24:42,624
Oh, creative--
633
00:24:42,626 --> 00:24:44,092
like making me think
I was about to be murdered
634
00:24:44,094 --> 00:24:45,927
by terrorists in Guantanamo Bay?
635
00:24:45,929 --> 00:24:48,330
It worked.
636
00:24:48,332 --> 00:24:50,165
Wow.
637
00:24:50,167 --> 00:24:51,867
So, what, suddenly you trust me?
638
00:24:51,869 --> 00:24:53,401
Not in the least.
639
00:24:53,403 --> 00:24:55,303
But we did find something
to barter with.
640
00:24:55,305 --> 00:24:57,439
The only thing
you've ever valued.
641
00:24:57,441 --> 00:24:58,773
Money.
642
00:24:58,775 --> 00:25:01,076
Sit down.
643
00:25:05,983 --> 00:25:08,483
McGEE: Prison visitation records show
that you've been meeting
644
00:25:08,485 --> 00:25:10,652
with Internet
security companies.
645
00:25:10,654 --> 00:25:13,154
You looking to consult
from your prison cell?
646
00:25:13,156 --> 00:25:15,757
Lot of money in it.
647
00:25:15,759 --> 00:25:17,392
Plus, I'm bored.
648
00:25:17,394 --> 00:25:22,030
Yeah, well, so are a lot
of other ex-hackers.
649
00:25:22,032 --> 00:25:24,766
And only the trustworthy ones
land contracts.
650
00:25:24,768 --> 00:25:26,635
Oh, I see,
651
00:25:26,637 --> 00:25:27,802
but if I help you now...
652
00:25:27,804 --> 00:25:29,638
McGEE: We will make
phone calls
653
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,407
and put in a good word
at the federal agencies.
654
00:25:32,409 --> 00:25:33,475
(wry laugh)
655
00:25:33,477 --> 00:25:35,410
So it's hypothetical money.
656
00:25:39,016 --> 00:25:41,216
Wait-- just wait, wait!
657
00:25:41,218 --> 00:25:43,351
Wait. God!
658
00:25:44,521 --> 00:25:46,121
Fine.
659
00:25:46,123 --> 00:25:47,522
What do I have to do?
660
00:25:47,524 --> 00:25:49,457
Just do what you've been doing.
661
00:25:49,459 --> 00:25:51,059
McGEE:
Being a pain in the ass.
662
00:25:51,061 --> 00:25:52,794
And flirting with Heidi.
663
00:25:55,165 --> 00:25:58,166
You stole this cell phone
from Agent Bishop
664
00:25:58,168 --> 00:26:01,536
and you are going to let Heidi
use it to warn Krampus.
665
00:26:01,538 --> 00:26:03,338
About...?
666
00:26:03,340 --> 00:26:04,472
Us.
667
00:26:04,474 --> 00:26:05,941
We're going undercover online.
668
00:26:05,943 --> 00:26:06,943
(scoffing laugh)
669
00:26:06,944 --> 00:26:08,343
Finally.
670
00:26:08,345 --> 00:26:10,512
But wait, so,
wh-why would she trust me?
671
00:26:10,514 --> 00:26:12,380
Not think this is some kind
of setup?
672
00:26:12,382 --> 00:26:14,816
Because you're you,
that's why.
673
00:26:18,522 --> 00:26:19,921
Deal.
674
00:26:26,363 --> 00:26:27,529
(door opens)
675
00:26:27,531 --> 00:26:28,730
Hey, hey.
676
00:26:28,732 --> 00:26:29,732
I said we have a deal.
677
00:26:29,733 --> 00:26:30,799
It's on hold.
678
00:26:30,801 --> 00:26:31,967
McGEE:
As a team,
679
00:26:31,969 --> 00:26:33,435
there are rules
we choose to ignore
680
00:26:33,437 --> 00:26:36,338
because the benefits promise
to outweigh consequences.
681
00:26:36,340 --> 00:26:38,173
Number 22 is one of them.
682
00:26:38,175 --> 00:26:40,041
Rule number 22:
Never, ever bother Gibbs
683
00:26:40,043 --> 00:26:41,476
in interrogation.
684
00:26:41,478 --> 00:26:43,278
Working.
685
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:44,813
Gibbs.
686
00:26:44,815 --> 00:26:45,914
I know you hate being
interrupted during
687
00:26:45,916 --> 00:26:47,349
an interrogation,
but this is important.
688
00:26:47,351 --> 00:26:48,351
Oh, it better be.
689
00:26:48,352 --> 00:26:49,985
Gibbs. Hi.
690
00:26:49,987 --> 00:26:52,354
Uh, could I see you
a second, boss?
691
00:26:52,356 --> 00:26:55,490
Never interrupt an
interrogation, McGee.
692
00:26:55,492 --> 00:26:56,524
GIBBS: Abbs?
693
00:26:56,526 --> 00:26:57,692
(pounding on door)
694
00:26:57,694 --> 00:26:59,861
Gibbs, enter.
695
00:26:59,863 --> 00:27:01,863
Quickly.
696
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,201
Can't be too careful with
criminal outlanders
697
00:27:06,203 --> 00:27:07,736
roaming the highlands.
698
00:27:07,738 --> 00:27:08,903
You two got something?
699
00:27:08,905 --> 00:27:10,372
Ducky and I have been working
700
00:27:10,374 --> 00:27:12,807
to I.D. our server-farm snowman.
701
00:27:12,809 --> 00:27:15,577
DUCKY: Cause of death wasn't simply
from prolonged
702
00:27:15,579 --> 00:27:17,779
computer use,
but from a rare disease
703
00:27:17,781 --> 00:27:20,882
called fatal
familial insomnia.
704
00:27:20,884 --> 00:27:23,785
Also known as the
inability to fall asleep.
705
00:27:23,787 --> 00:27:25,420
When the disease
first presented itself,
706
00:27:25,422 --> 00:27:28,256
it might've been seen as a bonus
to a hacker.
707
00:27:28,258 --> 00:27:29,858
Until weeks of sleeplessness
708
00:27:29,860 --> 00:27:33,194
took a toll on his body
and it shut down.
709
00:27:33,196 --> 00:27:35,597
Usually the patient falls
into a coma and dies.
710
00:27:35,599 --> 00:27:39,567
But, in this case,
heart failure got him first.
711
00:27:39,569 --> 00:27:40,935
You said it was rare.
712
00:27:40,937 --> 00:27:44,205
Our victim never reported
that he had the disease, but...
713
00:27:44,207 --> 00:27:46,107
His father did.
ABBY: Yep.
714
00:27:46,109 --> 00:27:48,743
He died when his son
Lyle was five years old.
715
00:27:48,745 --> 00:27:51,312
Lyle became a ward
of New Jersey
716
00:27:51,314 --> 00:27:53,081
until he came of age
and became
717
00:27:53,083 --> 00:27:55,517
a web designer
and a Krampus disciple.
718
00:27:55,519 --> 00:27:56,918
Notify local police.
719
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:58,686
They're already
at his apartment
720
00:27:58,688 --> 00:28:00,588
collecting computers
and cell phones,
721
00:28:00,590 --> 00:28:02,157
and anything to
lead us to Krampus.
722
00:28:02,159 --> 00:28:04,793
Who, good news,
hasn't leaked any Intel.
723
00:28:04,795 --> 00:28:08,730
Only because, bad news,
he's putting it up for bid.
724
00:28:08,732 --> 00:28:12,133
Everyone from TMZ to ISIS
is licking their chops.
725
00:28:12,135 --> 00:28:13,902
Can't wait for them
to pay up, Abbs.
726
00:28:13,904 --> 00:28:15,870
Means the deal with Khan
still stands?
727
00:28:15,872 --> 00:28:18,006
Unless you give me
something first.
728
00:28:18,008 --> 00:28:19,641
McGEE:
I have to admit that Abby
729
00:28:19,643 --> 00:28:22,177
is another example
of a rule often broken
730
00:28:22,179 --> 00:28:25,046
by our team: rule number 12.
731
00:28:25,048 --> 00:28:26,581
Never date a co-worker.
732
00:28:26,583 --> 00:28:28,016
Hello, Jethro.
733
00:28:31,154 --> 00:28:34,089
♪ ♪
734
00:28:34,091 --> 00:28:35,857
He stay at your place?
Yep.
735
00:28:35,859 --> 00:28:37,225
You sleep
in the coffin, McGee?
736
00:28:37,227 --> 00:28:39,427
(scoffs) I can't believe
I slept in a coffin.
737
00:28:39,429 --> 00:28:41,196
Not just slept.
738
00:28:41,198 --> 00:28:43,498
(moaning)
739
00:28:43,500 --> 00:28:46,968
McGEE: But every rule
exists for a reason...
740
00:28:48,205 --> 00:28:51,806
...because it can come back
to bite you, or worse.
741
00:28:51,808 --> 00:28:54,509
I found those
nice new monitors for you.
742
00:28:54,511 --> 00:28:56,644
I thought we'd use them.
743
00:28:56,646 --> 00:28:58,179
How do you read
these things?
744
00:28:58,181 --> 00:29:00,248
Look, don't make us regret
letting you in here.
745
00:29:00,250 --> 00:29:02,283
I regret agreeing to the terms.
746
00:29:02,285 --> 00:29:04,452
BISHOP: All right, Maryland forensic lab
just posted a copy
747
00:29:04,454 --> 00:29:06,287
of Lyle Trigget's hard drive.
748
00:29:06,289 --> 00:29:07,889
You type like
an eighth-grader.
749
00:29:07,891 --> 00:29:09,691
You smell like horny concrete.
750
00:29:09,693 --> 00:29:11,526
KEVIN:
Uh, Tony, you can't do that.
751
00:29:11,528 --> 00:29:12,827
Why not?
If we're trying to create
752
00:29:12,829 --> 00:29:14,162
an undercover
message board alias
753
00:29:14,164 --> 00:29:16,764
to infiltrate chat rooms,
you can't make
754
00:29:16,766 --> 00:29:18,466
your username Serpico73.
755
00:29:18,468 --> 00:29:20,602
Why not?
Pacino was a cop.
756
00:29:20,604 --> 00:29:24,772
Yeah. That way,
they will never suspect me.
757
00:29:24,774 --> 00:29:26,774
Girlfriend?
758
00:29:26,776 --> 00:29:27,842
Sister.
759
00:29:27,844 --> 00:29:30,078
Sarah, hey, listen,
I can't talk right now.
760
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:31,513
I'm in the middle of...
761
00:29:31,515 --> 00:29:33,748
Wait, what?
762
00:29:33,750 --> 00:29:35,550
When?
763
00:29:35,552 --> 00:29:37,552
Why didn't he tell us?
764
00:29:38,955 --> 00:29:41,990
Well, I can't be there
right now.
765
00:29:41,992 --> 00:29:43,024
(McGee sighs)
766
00:29:43,026 --> 00:29:44,225
Talk to him.
767
00:29:44,227 --> 00:29:46,027
I have to go.
768
00:29:46,029 --> 00:29:48,663
That didn't sound like
Christmas-present coordination.
769
00:29:48,665 --> 00:29:49,898
No, it didn't.
770
00:29:49,900 --> 00:29:53,201
Told you, every word
these guys say is a lie.
771
00:29:53,203 --> 00:29:55,036
McGEE:
It's not about presents, okay?
772
00:29:55,038 --> 00:29:59,007
My father cancelled his surgery
and instead of me being there
773
00:29:59,009 --> 00:30:01,609
to convince him otherwise,
I'm stuck here with all of you.
774
00:30:05,849 --> 00:30:08,082
HEIDI:
Well...
775
00:30:08,084 --> 00:30:09,817
I need a bathroom break.
776
00:30:09,819 --> 00:30:11,386
Agent Gibbs,
777
00:30:11,388 --> 00:30:13,555
may I have a hall pass?
778
00:30:16,193 --> 00:30:17,792
Door's right over there.
779
00:30:17,794 --> 00:30:20,929
No detours.
Okay.
780
00:30:20,931 --> 00:30:22,597
Don't get lost.
781
00:30:22,599 --> 00:30:24,699
Okay.
782
00:30:28,872 --> 00:30:30,271
KHAN (quietly):
Hey.
783
00:30:30,273 --> 00:30:31,506
Here's my chance.
784
00:30:31,508 --> 00:30:32,740
Give me the phone.
785
00:30:32,742 --> 00:30:34,142
Our deal.
786
00:30:34,144 --> 00:30:36,277
The restrooms are right next
to each other. Come on.
787
00:30:36,279 --> 00:30:37,579
Forget about it.
788
00:30:37,581 --> 00:30:39,647
Hey, come...
789
00:30:39,649 --> 00:30:42,283
Dude, look, about your dad,
I'm sorry.
790
00:30:42,285 --> 00:30:43,685
Okay, I am.
791
00:30:43,687 --> 00:30:46,154
But I can do this.
792
00:30:54,931 --> 00:30:55,997
Shh.
793
00:30:55,999 --> 00:30:57,732
What the hell are you doing?
794
00:30:57,734 --> 00:31:00,401
(quietly):
Bathroom break.
795
00:31:01,438 --> 00:31:03,404
I don't think they saw me.
796
00:31:03,406 --> 00:31:06,007
What do you want?
797
00:31:06,009 --> 00:31:08,243
Um, mm...
798
00:31:09,112 --> 00:31:10,845
To make out.
799
00:31:10,847 --> 00:31:13,848
(snickers)
Yeah.
800
00:31:13,850 --> 00:31:16,417
What's in it for me?
801
00:31:16,419 --> 00:31:18,186
Hmm...
802
00:31:18,188 --> 00:31:20,121
Oh.
803
00:31:20,123 --> 00:31:21,723
Oh.
804
00:31:21,725 --> 00:31:23,291
McGEE:
No activity yet.
805
00:31:23,293 --> 00:31:25,360
KEVIN:
You made a deal with Khan?
806
00:31:25,362 --> 00:31:26,594
I think I would've been
a better option.
807
00:31:26,596 --> 00:31:28,096
Shh!
Shh!
808
00:31:28,098 --> 00:31:30,164
Phone's on.
809
00:31:32,002 --> 00:31:33,534
Why is she using the camera?
810
00:31:33,536 --> 00:31:35,970
Is this part of the plan?
811
00:31:35,972 --> 00:31:36,938
Oh, no.
812
00:31:36,940 --> 00:31:38,940
(Tony groans)
813
00:31:38,942 --> 00:31:41,142
Boss.
814
00:31:41,144 --> 00:31:42,443
Ew.
815
00:31:44,414 --> 00:31:46,247
He double-crossed us.
816
00:31:46,249 --> 00:31:47,815
McGEE: Like I said, Dad,
a lot of things
817
00:31:47,817 --> 00:31:49,150
can come back to bite you.
818
00:31:51,855 --> 00:31:53,788
KHAN:
Hey.
819
00:31:54,758 --> 00:31:56,391
GIBBS:
Gift exchange is over.
820
00:31:56,393 --> 00:31:58,559
I was just getting started.
821
00:31:58,561 --> 00:32:00,028
Tell me about it.
(Heidi giggles)
822
00:32:00,030 --> 00:32:01,362
I need a cold shower.
823
00:32:01,364 --> 00:32:03,464
Ooh, that wasn't part
of our deal.
824
00:32:03,466 --> 00:32:05,500
(laughing)
You told her?
825
00:32:05,502 --> 00:32:08,002
(panting):
Well, like you said,
826
00:32:08,004 --> 00:32:08,970
I'm me.
827
00:32:08,972 --> 00:32:11,005
Furlough free time is over.
828
00:32:11,007 --> 00:32:11,906
I want a lawyer.
829
00:32:11,908 --> 00:32:13,975
McGEE:
Gibbs's rule number 13:
830
00:32:13,977 --> 00:32:16,177
Never involve lawyers.
831
00:32:16,179 --> 00:32:17,278
Sorry.
832
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:18,313
(laughs)
833
00:32:18,315 --> 00:32:19,981
Rule number 42:
834
00:32:19,983 --> 00:32:21,482
Never accept an apology
from someone
835
00:32:21,484 --> 00:32:24,218
who just sucker-punched you.
836
00:32:36,650 --> 00:32:38,049
(phone chimes)
837
00:32:38,051 --> 00:32:40,418
Guess that visit
to MTAC is out.
838
00:32:41,521 --> 00:32:43,087
You mad, bro?
839
00:32:43,089 --> 00:32:45,290
I'm disappointed.
840
00:32:45,292 --> 00:32:47,558
I'm done with all of you.
841
00:32:50,130 --> 00:32:53,097
A parent makes the rules
to help.
842
00:32:53,099 --> 00:32:55,033
But you can't
force kids to follow them,
843
00:32:55,035 --> 00:32:57,302
no matter how hard you try.
844
00:32:57,304 --> 00:32:59,637
They have to make
their own choices.
845
00:32:59,639 --> 00:33:01,072
I suppose I owe you an apology
846
00:33:01,074 --> 00:33:03,708
for those times, Dad.
847
00:33:03,710 --> 00:33:07,078
Which is breaking
yet another rule, actually.
848
00:33:08,014 --> 00:33:11,616
Douglas VonDorothy. AKA Krampus.
849
00:33:11,618 --> 00:33:13,084
You found him?
850
00:33:13,086 --> 00:33:14,719
Yes. With Abby.
851
00:33:14,721 --> 00:33:16,621
Our dead guy
in autopsy kept records
852
00:33:16,623 --> 00:33:18,856
of his message board
chats with Krampus.
853
00:33:18,858 --> 00:33:20,558
They gave away
personal details--
854
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,527
hobbies,
regional indicators.
855
00:33:22,529 --> 00:33:24,362
Info that you could track
on social media
856
00:33:24,364 --> 00:33:25,530
to get real names.
Mm-hmm.
857
00:33:25,532 --> 00:33:26,564
Only one of which had
858
00:33:26,566 --> 00:33:27,932
a criminal record
for computer crimes
859
00:33:27,934 --> 00:33:29,701
and fit what we already
860
00:33:29,703 --> 00:33:30,968
knew about Krampus.
861
00:33:30,970 --> 00:33:32,170
Where is he?
862
00:33:32,172 --> 00:33:33,971
Uh, photos on his
EveryoneIEverMet.com
863
00:33:33,973 --> 00:33:36,941
profile show him
in Rice Lake, Wisconsin.
864
00:33:36,943 --> 00:33:39,010
His parents own a cabin there.
865
00:33:39,012 --> 00:33:41,145
It's cold, but isolated.
866
00:33:41,147 --> 00:33:42,814
FBI field office in Chicago?
867
00:33:42,816 --> 00:33:44,449
Make the call.
868
00:33:44,451 --> 00:33:46,651
Let's just hope he hasn't
found a buyer yet.
869
00:33:50,590 --> 00:33:51,756
Problem, Tim?
870
00:33:51,758 --> 00:33:54,158
Always be specific when you lie.
871
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,761
People that hide online
know that better than anyone.
872
00:33:56,763 --> 00:33:58,563
Boss, this feels...
Too easy?
873
00:33:58,565 --> 00:33:59,797
Yeah.
874
00:33:59,799 --> 00:34:01,766
If they show up
in Wisconsin and Krampus
875
00:34:01,768 --> 00:34:03,601
isn't there, he's gonna
disappear with the Intel.
876
00:34:03,603 --> 00:34:04,769
Hold on.
877
00:34:04,771 --> 00:34:07,004
Am I sending FBI SWAT
to Wisconsin?
878
00:34:12,345 --> 00:34:13,411
Let's ask her.
879
00:34:13,413 --> 00:34:14,846
Who, Heidi?
880
00:34:14,848 --> 00:34:16,013
Why would she talk now?
881
00:34:16,015 --> 00:34:18,850
Show her who she's protecting.
882
00:34:20,086 --> 00:34:21,986
Boss, can you give that
to someone else?
883
00:34:24,391 --> 00:34:26,090
I can't take it anymore.
884
00:34:26,092 --> 00:34:28,526
I said from the beginning
that this wasn't gonna work.
885
00:34:28,528 --> 00:34:30,161
These...
It's a waste
886
00:34:30,163 --> 00:34:32,096
of time.
These guys are criminals.
887
00:34:32,098 --> 00:34:34,532
They're not worth it.
888
00:34:36,002 --> 00:34:38,035
McGee...
889
00:34:41,808 --> 00:34:43,474
...rule 51.
890
00:34:43,476 --> 00:34:45,410
Fifty-one?
891
00:34:45,412 --> 00:34:46,878
What is...
892
00:34:49,315 --> 00:34:52,049
I wrote it down once.
893
00:35:01,294 --> 00:35:02,827
That's who you're protecting.
894
00:35:02,829 --> 00:35:05,263
Is there anything you want
to tell us before the FBI
895
00:35:05,265 --> 00:35:07,832
get to Wisconsin
and arrest him?
896
00:35:07,834 --> 00:35:10,034
You still don't have
anything else to say?
897
00:35:10,036 --> 00:35:11,235
Kevin, you wanted to help.
898
00:35:11,237 --> 00:35:13,337
Now's your chance.
899
00:35:13,339 --> 00:35:15,640
Read his record.
Yes. Anything.
900
00:35:15,642 --> 00:35:19,043
Finally.
901
00:35:19,045 --> 00:35:21,145
“Douglas VonDorothy:
902
00:35:21,147 --> 00:35:23,281
“while not shutting down
cities as Krampus,
903
00:35:23,283 --> 00:35:25,049
“uses other usernames
to perpetrate
904
00:35:25,051 --> 00:35:27,151
“acts of online stalking.
905
00:35:27,153 --> 00:35:28,286
“Gathering
personal information
906
00:35:28,288 --> 00:35:30,021
“of ex-girlfriends
or wives
907
00:35:30,023 --> 00:35:31,556
“for the purpose
of continued
908
00:35:31,558 --> 00:35:34,192
harassment or slander.”
909
00:35:34,194 --> 00:35:35,593
Revenge porn.
910
00:35:35,595 --> 00:35:37,695
For hire.
KHAN: Don't listen.
911
00:35:37,697 --> 00:35:39,330
This is
a made-up file.
912
00:35:39,332 --> 00:35:41,065
That's a photo
of some guy from HR.
913
00:35:41,067 --> 00:35:43,000
This is just a ruse
to guilt-trip you.
914
00:35:43,002 --> 00:35:46,137
This man also has
a history of hacking
915
00:35:46,139 --> 00:35:49,173
the cell phones
of random high school girls
916
00:35:49,175 --> 00:35:52,643
and holding embarrassing
pictures for ransom
917
00:35:52,645 --> 00:35:54,378
or posting them online.
918
00:35:54,380 --> 00:35:55,713
Most of these victims
are underage.
919
00:35:55,715 --> 00:35:58,182
Did this guy have a mother?
This keeps going.
920
00:35:58,184 --> 00:35:59,417
That's enough for now.
921
00:35:59,419 --> 00:36:02,386
This wasn't political
or someone seeking truth.
922
00:36:02,388 --> 00:36:05,056
For once, the avatar
matches the man.
923
00:36:05,058 --> 00:36:07,725
You're protecting a monster.
924
00:36:08,561 --> 00:36:10,461
So what?
I thought you got him.
925
00:36:10,463 --> 00:36:11,929
So what?
926
00:36:11,931 --> 00:36:14,198
That's all you have to say?
How can someone
927
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,468
be so callous and cynical?
At Christmas?
928
00:36:17,470 --> 00:36:19,504
You're a criminal,
too, Bob Cratchit.
929
00:36:19,506 --> 00:36:21,572
Except I would give
anything to make up for it.
930
00:36:21,574 --> 00:36:24,642
You two are just hopeless,
heartless humbugs.
931
00:36:28,114 --> 00:36:29,814
Heidi, listen to me.
932
00:36:29,816 --> 00:36:32,850
You made bad choices
933
00:36:32,852 --> 00:36:34,051
and you were caught.
934
00:36:34,053 --> 00:36:36,687
You're a criminal.
935
00:36:36,689 --> 00:36:38,389
But not doing
the right thing because
936
00:36:38,391 --> 00:36:40,591
you have nothing
to lose or gain?
937
00:36:41,895 --> 00:36:44,362
That just makes you
a bad person.
938
00:36:44,364 --> 00:36:47,765
But that's
not you, is it?
939
00:36:47,767 --> 00:36:50,501
Kevin's wrong.
940
00:36:50,503 --> 00:36:53,337
I was wrong.
941
00:36:53,339 --> 00:36:55,439
It's okay to admit.
942
00:36:56,643 --> 00:36:59,176
Rule number 51.
943
00:36:59,178 --> 00:37:02,013
Sometimes you're wrong, Heidi.
944
00:37:02,015 --> 00:37:04,315
(laughs, voice breaks)
945
00:37:04,317 --> 00:37:07,218
Believe it or not,
before all of this,
946
00:37:07,220 --> 00:37:10,021
I was a good teacher.
947
00:37:10,023 --> 00:37:12,223
(cries)
948
00:37:12,225 --> 00:37:14,625
I taught my students
right and wrong.
949
00:37:16,696 --> 00:37:19,463
To clean up their messes.
950
00:37:22,402 --> 00:37:24,835
Krampus isn't in Wisconsin.
951
00:37:24,837 --> 00:37:27,972
But you know
where he is, don't you?
952
00:37:27,974 --> 00:37:30,141
Mm-hmm.
953
00:37:33,413 --> 00:37:35,646
Left a mess
I have to clean up now.
954
00:37:37,884 --> 00:37:40,117
McGEE: That happens to be
rule number 45.
955
00:37:40,119 --> 00:37:42,553
And what I slowly realized
956
00:37:42,555 --> 00:37:45,389
Gibbs's rules are all about.
957
00:37:45,391 --> 00:37:46,824
What they're meant to prevent.
958
00:37:46,826 --> 00:37:50,928
Messes. Problems.
Screw-ups. Mistakes.
959
00:37:52,398 --> 00:37:54,832
But when messes
and problems happen,
960
00:37:54,834 --> 00:37:57,134
the rules are also there
to protect us.
961
00:37:57,136 --> 00:37:59,303
And because each of us
live by those rules,
962
00:37:59,305 --> 00:38:01,439
we know that no matter
how many we break,
963
00:38:01,441 --> 00:38:03,341
no matter how much we screw up,
964
00:38:03,343 --> 00:38:05,676
there will be someone
to save us.
965
00:38:24,364 --> 00:38:26,263
(helicopter flying over)
966
00:38:39,812 --> 00:38:43,214
Which is what Christmas
is about, too.
967
00:38:43,216 --> 00:38:45,950
Someone giving us
a second chance.
968
00:38:45,952 --> 00:38:48,686
Like a parent.
969
00:38:48,688 --> 00:38:50,187
A father.
970
00:38:50,189 --> 00:38:52,723
FBI agents raided
the Jacksonville
971
00:38:52,725 --> 00:38:53,891
retirement community
972
00:38:53,893 --> 00:38:55,092
where known hacker
973
00:38:55,094 --> 00:38:56,761
Douglas VonDorothy lived
974
00:38:56,763 --> 00:38:57,795
with his elderly parents,
975
00:38:57,797 --> 00:38:59,497
under false names.
976
00:38:59,499 --> 00:39:02,033
VonDorothy was arrested
and taken into custody.
977
00:39:02,035 --> 00:39:03,401
I told you
I'd get into MTAC.
978
00:39:03,403 --> 00:39:05,202
There he is.
Our Cyber and Special Operations
979
00:39:05,204 --> 00:39:07,571
Division have recovered
hard drives
980
00:39:07,573 --> 00:39:10,341
thought to contain vital
security Intel stolen
981
00:39:10,343 --> 00:39:14,245
from Washington, DC, Internet
servers late last night.
982
00:39:14,247 --> 00:39:15,980
(soft whistle)
983
00:39:15,982 --> 00:39:18,049
(whispers):
Nice, Tim.
984
00:39:19,218 --> 00:39:21,318
McGEE: The case helped me
recognize all the hard,
985
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,288
thankless work
you put in over the years.
986
00:39:24,290 --> 00:39:27,625
That while I've learned
a lot from Gibbs,
987
00:39:27,627 --> 00:39:30,628
it's only possible
because of how I was raised.
988
00:39:30,630 --> 00:39:32,263
By you.
989
00:39:32,265 --> 00:39:34,832
You may not have numbered
your rules, Dad, but...
990
00:39:34,834 --> 00:39:37,301
they were meant to teach
the same lessons.
991
00:39:37,303 --> 00:39:40,738
You taught me to always
be prepared.
992
00:39:40,740 --> 00:39:42,540
Always stand up for yourself.
993
00:39:42,542 --> 00:39:44,642
Then go. I'm staying.
994
00:39:44,644 --> 00:39:48,179
But if you're wrong, admit it.
995
00:39:48,181 --> 00:39:50,481
I'm still leaving out
a few, but...
996
00:39:50,483 --> 00:39:52,917
maybe hitting them all
was too lofty a goal.
997
00:39:52,919 --> 00:39:54,418
Dad, how can you say that?
998
00:39:54,420 --> 00:39:56,620
It's not about you, sometimes.
999
00:39:56,622 --> 00:39:59,557
Oh, I'm stubborn? Gee, I wonder
who I get that from?
1000
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:02,026
(sighs)
1001
00:40:02,028 --> 00:40:04,028
No, we have the whole week off.
1002
00:40:04,030 --> 00:40:05,730
There are other
agents here, Dad.
1003
00:40:05,732 --> 00:40:07,732
Look, I have to go.
1004
00:40:07,734 --> 00:40:09,900
I'll... I'll see you in an hour.
1005
00:40:13,573 --> 00:40:15,840
Notice anything
different, McGeek?
1006
00:40:16,976 --> 00:40:19,543
We installed the new
computer monitors.
1007
00:40:19,545 --> 00:40:20,711
You touched my desk?
1008
00:40:20,713 --> 00:40:22,813
It was their idea.
We wanted to thank you.
1009
00:40:22,815 --> 00:40:25,015
- What? No, we... -Don't say that out loud.
Speak for yourself.
1010
00:40:25,017 --> 00:40:27,618
No, no, no. This monitor should
be more to the left and...
1011
00:40:27,620 --> 00:40:28,786
Okay, let's go to the van.
1012
00:40:28,788 --> 00:40:30,354
Nobody needs to see
this part of Tim McGee.
1013
00:40:30,356 --> 00:40:31,489
Come on, I.T. Kevin.
Come on!
1014
00:40:31,491 --> 00:40:34,325
You didn't even bundle
all the cables? Oof.
1015
00:40:34,327 --> 00:40:36,794
What are you still
doing here, McGee?
1016
00:40:37,830 --> 00:40:40,164
Your dad made time for you.
1017
00:40:40,166 --> 00:40:42,166
Return the favor.
1018
00:40:42,168 --> 00:40:44,869
McGEE: Postponing that surgery was
you doing everything you could
1019
00:40:44,871 --> 00:40:47,204
to make sure we had this
last holiday week together.
1020
00:40:47,206 --> 00:40:51,041
Not in the hospital room,
but as a family.
1021
00:40:51,043 --> 00:40:53,144
All of us.
1022
00:40:53,146 --> 00:40:55,079
Why you couldn't have just
said that is beyond me.
1023
00:40:55,081 --> 00:40:58,516
But I guess I'm the one
who has to write a letter.
1024
00:41:04,223 --> 00:41:07,358
Communication was never
our strong suit, Dad.
1025
00:41:08,227 --> 00:41:11,462
And we haven't always
seen eye-to-eye.
1026
00:41:12,865 --> 00:41:15,499
But your rules,
1027
00:41:15,501 --> 00:41:18,502
my breaking of them,
1028
00:41:18,504 --> 00:41:21,539
our ensuing arguments,
1029
00:41:21,541 --> 00:41:23,641
the resulting punishments...
1030
00:41:23,643 --> 00:41:25,376
(knocking, door opens)
1031
00:41:26,445 --> 00:41:28,579
Uh, people will
be arriving, Tim.
1032
00:41:29,515 --> 00:41:31,215
Uh, just another minute, please?
1033
00:41:31,217 --> 00:41:34,185
Sure.
1034
00:41:52,638 --> 00:41:56,207
Every moment with you...
1035
00:41:56,209 --> 00:41:59,410
from growing up
to these last few days--
1036
00:42:01,347 --> 00:42:03,547
it meant something to me.
1037
00:42:06,352 --> 00:42:07,818
I've heard it takes a man
1038
00:42:07,820 --> 00:42:11,021
to make a man.
1039
00:42:11,023 --> 00:42:13,190
Well, you've helped make me one.
1040
00:42:25,605 --> 00:42:27,805
Before I say good-bye, Dad...
1041
00:42:32,979 --> 00:42:35,179
I just want to say thank you.
1042
00:42:37,216 --> 00:42:39,383
For everything.
1043
00:42:48,728 --> 00:42:50,995
(voice breaking):
Merry Christmas, Dad.
1044
00:42:53,666 --> 00:42:55,566
I love you.
1045
