On the road
Christopher Muñoz: It got ugly. Didn't think I was going to get out of there. No, he still hasn't checked in. I'll let you know as soon as I know... Tell me you have it. How much time have you had? Dude, it's a keg! You go to the liquor store, pick it up. Here's the thing about surprise parties, okay? They're supposed tobe a surp...
Friend: Dude, what was that? Chris, man, talk to me. What's up, dude, are you there? Are you okay?
Christopher Muñoz: I got into an accident.
Friend: Accident?
Christopher Muñoz: I'll call you back. Don't worry. I'm fine.

NCIS: Elevator
Ziva David: It was a simple question, McGee.
----------
NCIS: Squad room
Timothy McGee: Yeah, one I would expect from Tony, not you.
Ziva David: I'm just being curious.
Timothy McGee: About when I lost my virginity?
Ziva David: No, you misunderstood. I'm not asking when you lost your virginity but if... You lost it... What's wrong with this picture?
Timothy McGee: You mean, aside from Tony being here before us? And actually working?
Anthony DiNozzo: I can hear you, you know?
Ziva David: I am here if you would like to talk.
Anthony DiNozzo: About what?
Ziva David: I know how much you cared about her.
Anthony DiNozzo: I'm fine, Ziva.
Ziva David: All right, but I thought maybe you need a little cheering up?
Anthony DiNozzo: If needed to be cheered up, I would've put superglue on McGee's keyboard.
Timothy McGee: You put superglue on my keyboard.
Anthony DiNozzo: You got me.
Timothy McGee: Come on.
Anthony DiNozzo: I was sort of saving it for a rainy day.
Ziva David: Did it help?
Anthony DiNozzo: Didn't hurt. You know...
Timothy McGee: Boss, Tony...
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: I know... Are you ever going to learn, McGee? Grab your gear, we got a petty officer in a hit-and-run.
Timothy McGee: Guys... Little help, please.
----------
Street
Anthony DiNozzo: Hit-and-run. It's a felony now, but in DiNozzo's Guide to Women, a way of life.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: In this case, death.
Anthony DiNozzo: How did he end up over here?
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Good question, DiNozzo.
Anthony DiNozzo: At least he went out looking sharp.
Donald Mallard: But when he dressed this morning, I doubt he was aware that the end was nigh. When people choose not to wear their seat belts, they rarely consider their own mortality. If they did, they would definitely wear their seat belts. You know, I would've thought with that kind of damage he would be all the way down there. Did you move my body, Jethro?
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Someone did.
Anthony DiNozzo: Well, the state police said they didn't touch the body after they ID'd him. Report indicated he blew that stop sign over there.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Swerved to avoid another car.
Anthony DiNozzo: Then he went through the windshield when he hit the bridge?
Donald Mallard: Hello.
Anthony DiNozzo: This just keeps getting better... I'm going with stripper.
Donald Mallard: This is not an uncommon way for young servicemen to... Complement their incomes. In fact, when I was young, I used to...
Anthony DiNozzo: Used to what?
Donald Mallard: Oh, my...
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Shotgun, close range. Our hit-and-run just became shoot-and-scoot.
Donald Mallard: But there's no visible damage to the head. I do not believe that this gentleman... Made that hole.
Anthony DiNozzo: And if he didn't make it, who did?
----------
Timothy McGee: The more I think about it, the more I can't believe we fell for it. Tony with a girlfriend?
Ziva David: I believe he had real feelings for her, McGee.
Timothy McGee: I don't doubt that... See what she looks like?
Ziva David: Sounds like you wish you had the assignment.
Timothy McGee: Yeah, I don't know why the director didn't give it to me to begin with.
Anthony DiNozzo: Still talking about the little probie losing his virginity?
----------
Near the bridge
Donald Mallard: Down here! There. This is more like it. She has a smashed cranium, lacerations and possible multiple fractures. I think we've found our human cannonball.
Anthony DiNozzo: I think the state police definitely had it wrong, boss. Petty Officer Munoz didn't blow off that stop sign.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Nah, he was in the other car. He got run off the road by the guy who did.
Anthony DiNozzo: Then got shot for his trouble.
Ziva David: No footprints. Her companion took off in Muñoz's vehicle and left her here to die.
Timothy McGee: Who does that?
Donald Mallard: Clearly, someone in a terrible rush.
Timothy McGee: Rush to where?
----------
NCIS: Squad room
Anthony DiNozzo: Well, we know where Petty Officer Munoz was in a rush to.
Ziva David: We spoke to his roommate. Muñoz was throwing a surprise party for one of his friends who just arrived from Iraq.
Anthony DiNozzo: But he was late coming back from... The Chelsea Girls School Class of '5750 year reunion. And I got the pictures to prove it... My God. It's like Cocoon meets Dirty Dancing. I wonder if Ducky has dreams like this. Gibbs probably isn't too far behind... He's standing right behind me, sorry about that, boss?
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Going to be your dreams one day, too, DiNozzo.
Timothy McGee: Well, maybe Petty Officer Muñoz danced with the wrong woman.
Ziva David: And was run off the road by a jealous husband.
Anthony DiNozzo: What, in his motorized wheelchair? Come on, guys, this is pretty simple. We're looking for a bad guy who got into an accident, and then he carjacked Muñoz cause he wanted to get the hell out of Dodge. Put out a BOLO on Muñoz's truck. We got a few more leads to follow, but... My gut tells me that Muñoz had a terminal case of wrong place, wrong time. Unless your gut... Told you something else, boss.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: The girl.
Timothy McGee: Yeah, we got a hit on the prints... Heidi Campisano, 25. Though this picture's three years old.
Anthony DiNozzo: Pyramid schemes, Internet fraud, bogus rare coins.
Ziva David: She is a con artist.
Timothy McGee: Was. Dropped off the radar three years ago.
Anthony DiNozzo: I'm guessing since she's laying in our morgue it wasn't to go legit.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: The car hers?
Timothy McGee: No. Car is registered to Nicholas Barnes.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: DiNozzo!
Anthony DiNozzo: Here.
----------
Garage
Joseph Barnes: Nicky! Get your ass out here! Run in the bathroom like a little girl when he saw you guys pull up. This is about Tiffany, right?
Anthony DiNozzo: Tiffany?
Joseph Barnes: Yeah, his girl... Nicky!
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: The name's not Tiffany.
Joseph Barnes: Oh, really. You don't say. I told him that girl was no good. He didn't listen to me. Well, there's some Navy cops here want to ask you a few questions. Now, you remember what I told you about telling lies.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Something wrong?
Nicholas Barnes: Nope.
Anthony DiNozzo: Just had to pee all of a sudden?
Nicholas Barnes: Figured you want to ask me about Tiff, didn't really want to talk about her. Is that a crime?
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: No. But murder is.
Joseph Barnes: Oh, murder! Perfect!
Anthony DiNozzo: You know this guy?
Nicholas Barnes: Nope.
Anthony DiNozzo: He was shot and killed today. Your car was found at the scene wrapped around a bridge.
Nicholas Barnes: Not my car... I gave it to Tiff. She said hers was stolen.
Joseph Barnes: Oh, tell 'em what else you gave her. A thousand bucks. Tell 'em why. Oh, for an operation. What kind? He didn't even ask.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: You also didn't ask how she was.
Anthony DiNozzo: Car wrapped around a tree and all.
Nicholas Barnes: I hope she's dead.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: She is.
Anthony DiNozzo: If you'd like us to arrest you now, Nicky, that can be arranged.
Joseph Barnes: Hey, now, wait a second. Just hold on right there... My boy ain't guilty of anything except for being an idiot. Now, that girl Tiffany, or whoever she was, she was playing him and a couple of other guys. He spoke up to her about it, and she run off, that was about a week ago.
Nicholas Barnes: She said she loved me. You don't lie to somebody you love.
----------
Tony's memories
Jeanne Benoit: Do you know how wonderful it is to be with someone who doesn't even lie about the little things? How can I ever trust you again? Why? Why? Why?
----------
Garage
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Why? Why? Why? DiNozzo.
Anthony DiNozzo: Sorry, boss.
Nicholas Barnes: I ain't seen her since she left.
Anthony DiNozzo: Anybody seen you this morning?
Joseph Barnes: Oh, he was here with me, all day. I got about a half a dozen customers who can vouch for that.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Names.
Joseph Barnes: Sure. Like I said, my boy's an idiot, but he ain't a killer. Now, a girl like that, playing with people's hearts, you track down some of them jilted lovers. I guarantee you'll find out who done her in.
Anthony DiNozzo: I can't wait to make those calls.
----------
NCIS: Autopsy room
Donald Mallard: The demise of someone as young as you is always a tragedy, but someone in your chosen... Profession, it's to be expected. Yeah, for example, did you know that the... Infamous confidence man, Victor Lustig, sold the Eiffel Tower, almost twice, but then he convinced Al Capone to buy $50,000 of bogus shares... What do we have here? You're late.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: We have an appointment, Duck?
Donald Mallard: No, we have a crisis. I apologize for not seeing it sooner.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: You know how I feel about apologies.
Donald Mallard: Yes, well, you may want to make an exception in this case. I now know why the driver of the Chevy didn't bother to check on his companion. She was dead... Before she was put in the car. All her vehicular injuries are postmortem.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: How?
Donald Mallard: Extensive blunt force trauma. She had a subdermal hematoma that would almost certainly have proved fatal... Poor girl was beaten to death.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Thanks, Duck.
Donald Mallard: Well, I knew all that an hour ago. What I just learned was that she had been pregnant.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: She gave birth?
Donald Mallard: Yeah... Right before she was murdered.
----------
NCIS: Abby's lab
Timothy McGee: Hey, Abs, hope you don't mind, but I need to use one of your computers. Hard to concentrate while Tony's calling Heidi's former victims... He's become very sensitive to the word "liar" these days... Thought you quit.
Abigael Scuito: McGee, there is a baby missing that might need medical attention. I need to be at the top of my game.
Timothy McGee: Going to spend most of your game in the bathroom.
Abigael Scuito: I already thought of that. I'm upping my salt intake to increase my body's water retentions.
Timothy McGee: Of course you are.
Abigael Scuito: So what do you have for Gibbs?
Timothy McGee: Nothing... Why, is he on his way down here?
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: No, he's here.
Abigael Scuito: And he's talking about himself in the third person. I like it.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Ducky said you had something.
Abigael Scuito: Don't you want to see what McGee has first?
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: I came down to see you.
Abigael Scuito: Abby was able to recover amniotic fluid from the dead woman's clothing.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: You got the baby's DNA?
Abigael Scuito: Abby's running it now. You can't use it to find the father, but when you have a suspect, Abby can test it and see if he is the father.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Nicholas Barnes.
Abigael Scuito: Abby already ruled him out. Not the same blood type.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Good work, Abby.
Timothy McGee: McGee is going through Heidi's records now. Problem is, because she had so many fake identities, there's about ten times the amount of normal data. Plus, most of the activity is over three years old... But luckily, a snooper program I was running did find one, two, three, four sizable deposits made to her account recently from a man named... Adrian Nelson.
Abigael Scuito: Maybe that's another boyfriend she conned.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: We'll let you know when we get back.
Abigael Scuito: Abby has to pee.
----------
Nelsons's house: living room
Adrian Nelson: Heidi Campisano. No, I'm sorry, I don't recognize the name.
Timothy McGee: Well, she's got a lot of them, Mr. Nelson.
Adrian Nelson: Maybe. I travel a lot.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Travel where?
Sara Nelson: Trade shows. My husband's a computer programmer.
Adrian Nelson: Well, I work in domotics.
Timothy McGee: It's home automation. The application of...
Adrian Nelson: Automated techniques for the comfort and security of the home resident. I can control the entire house... Lights... Media... Fireplace... Even turn on the lawn sprinklers if someone isn't supposed to be here.
Sara Nelson: Who is she?
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Who was she. She's dead, murdered.
Timothy McGee: And her newborn is missing.
Sara Nelson: Why are you telling us this?
Timothy McGee: We've traced several recent deposits made to her account from your husband.
Adrian Nelson: From me? Well, there's... There's got to be some mistake. You said that she uses a lot of names, right? Maybe she's stolen my identity. Like I said, I travel a lot. It wouldn't be hard to do.
Sara Nelson: I can settle this. Feel free to look around. But if my husband says he doesn't know her, he doesn't know her. Right?
Adrian Nelson: That's right, honey... Well, that isn't supposed to happen. I'm going to have to reset the breaker. Excuse me.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Here, I'll give you some help.
----------
Nelsons's house: laundry room
Adrian Nelson: Reset switch is just in here.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: How long you been seeing Heidi?
Adrian Nelson: I told you, I don't know anything...
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: No, you told your wife. And I let you. But now I get the truth.
Adrian Nelson: Just a few months. Till I found out she was stealing money from me. She was forging my signature on my checks. We barely saw each other and we never slept together.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Baby's not yours.
Adrian Nelson: No, it's not.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: I need your DNA to verify that.
Adrian Nelson: Forget it. I'm not going on record that I was ever involved with that woman. You need DNA, you're going to have to talk to my lawyer.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Maybe I'll just talk to your wife.
Adrian Nelson: Is your evidence that flimsy that you have to resort to threats? I had nothing to do with Heidi's murder, okay? But if you got something that says I did, you should go get a warrant. Far enough?
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Oh, yeah. Yeah, I guess it'll have to be.
Sara Nelson: Adrian.
----------
Adrian Nelson: Everything's fine, honey. They're going to show themselves out.
Sara Nelson: Everything's not fine.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Got it?
Timothy McGee: Fingernails clippings, toothbrush swabs and Q-tips.
----------
NCIS: Squad room
Ziva David: He lied to us. This is a check to Heidi Campisano from Adrian Nelson's account. This is a known sample of his handwriting. The signature's real. Four checks. $10,000 total.
Timothy McGee: Heidi didn't steal anything. Adrian sent her the money himself.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Did more than that, McGee.
Timothy McGee: Tried to hide it from us.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: DNA?
Ziva David: Abby's still working on it.
Anthony DiNozzo: Come on, that's not what I'm saying.
Timothy McGee: Boss, since we got a pretty strong lead here, can Tony stop calling Heidi's other marks looking for suspects?
Anthony DiNozzo: Listen, I am simply saying just because she was lying to you, doesn't mean that she didn't really love you... Hello? What?
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Let him call a few more.
Ziva David: We have two theories to explain the dishonesty. Theory number one:
Timothy McGee: Heidi Campisano seduced Adrian Nelson.
Ziva David: Then blackmailed him threatening to tell his wife.
Timothy McGee: She had done it before plus, it would explain the payments.
Ziva David: And the fact she is now dead.
Timothy McGee: Theory two: Adrian found out that Heidi was pregnant with his baby. Also explain the payments.
Ziva David: And the fact she is now dead. With those options, I would've lied, too.
Donald Mallard: But no doubt, more effectively. But thinking more optimistically, I took the liberty of going out and getting this for when you find our missing newborn.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Any word?
Donald Mallard: Yeah, I checked all the hospitals in the area and beyond. No babies on any doorsteps. But you weren't expecting any, were you?
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Killer's got the baby, Ducky. Only way we're going to find that kid is to find the killer.
Anthony DiNozzo: Okay, I'm on my way.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: You got something, DiNozzo?
Anthony DiNozzo: Yeah, dentist appointment... No... This is for real, guys. I... Remember I chipped my tooth and I got the... I'd sent you an e-mail for a leave request, like, two days ago... About this. You don't check your e-mail. Never mind... Very Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo, Boy Who Cried Wolf And Who Must Now Suffer Periodontal Disease For It. How may I help you?
Abigael Scuito: I've got something. Get down here.
Anthony DiNozzo: Okay. It's Abby. She's got something.
----------
NCIS: Abby's lab
Abigael Scuito: Hi, Gibbs.
Timothy McGee: Abby, I think you might need to lay off the caffeine again.
Abigael Scuito: Maybe I need a little more, McGee, you ever think of that? Baby missing.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: You said you had something.
Abigael Scuito: I do. That's what I'm so excited about. Actually, everything's really exciting to me today... I was able to get the Nelsons'DNA off the toothbrushes that McGee swabbed. I compared the husband's DNA to the fetal DNA from the missing child. Adrian Nelson? Definitely the father.
Anthony DiNozzo: There's no shocker there.
Abigael Scuito: Well, I'm not done. Heidi Campisano? Definitely not the mother.
Ziva David: She gave birth to a child who is not hers?
Abigael Scuito: It's called gestational surrogacy, where the sperm and the egg come from third parties and then the surrogate acts as a host.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Abs, did you check...?
Abigael Scuito: Sara Nelson's DNA? Sara Nelson is definitely the mother.
Timothy McGee: That's what the payments were for. The Nelsons hired Heidi Campisano as their surrogate.
Ziva David: Perhaps she changed her mind about giving up the baby.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: That's not the question.
Anthony DiNozzo: Did the Nelsons kill her for it?
----------
Nelsons's house
Ziva David: Clear.
Anthony DiNozzo: Clear.
Timothy McGee: Clear.
Ziva David: Looks like they left in a hurry.
Anthony DiNozzo: Place is a mess.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Not all of it.
----------
Nelsons's house: nursery
Ziva David: I do not understand what the Nelsons' plan was.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: To have a baby.
Ziva David: That part I understand. That is why they hired Heidi Campisano as a surrogate. But if she refused to turn over the baby, I'm sure the Nelsons would've had other options besides killing her. I mean, after all, they were the biological parents.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: I'm not a lawyer.
Ziva David: But you were a parent.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: You want to have children, Ziva?
Ziva David: Well...
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: It's a simple question.
Ziva David: I do not have a simple answer.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Once you have kids, you'll understand.
Ziva David: If the Nelsons were really willing to do anything for their child, they would be getting it medical attention.
Anthony DiNozzo: Yeah, well, maybe they are. Safe was cleaned out. Plus, I found the box to an infant car seat in the garage. There going somewhere with the kid.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: You go for a swim, DiNozzo?
Anthony DiNozzo: Oh, yeah. Sprinklers went off when I was digging through the trash outside. Nice timing.
Timothy McGee: Actually, it's part of their security system. Forgot to warn you about that. Boss, found something on their computer.
Anthony DiNozzo: Thanks for the heads up, probie. I owe you one.
----------
Tony's memories
Jeanne Benoit: I love you. Now you need to figure out if you feel the same way.
Anthony DiNozzo: I don't want to hurt you. I can't live a lie.
----------
Nelsons's house: nursery
Ziva David: Tony, I...
----------
Nelsons's house: office
Timothy McGee: Adrian Nelson is covering his tracks. He erased his entire hard drive.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: So we can't see what he's been doing.
Anthony DiNozzo: I thought you said you found something.
Timothy McGee: Yeah, the root directory's still intact. There's no personal data, but I did find an API he had written to interface his home automation system to his car's onboard navigation computer.
Anthony DiNozzo: Pretend you're talking to someone who actually has sex with other humans.
Timothy McGee: All I have to do is hack the API and I can use it to get the GPS coordinates on his car.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Yeah, do it, do it.
Anthony DiNozzo: This is great. It means I can stop calling Heidi's marks... I mean, of course, I will look for those other guys, but... Sorry. Sorry.
Timothy McGee: They haven't moved in the last 20 minutes.
----------
NCIS: Squad room
Anthony DiNozzo: Might have dumped the car. Gibbs and the state police will know soon enough. What are you still typing?
Timothy McGee: I'm refreshing the tracker.
Anthony DiNozzo: Forget it I don't want to know. It's good to have a geek on the team but I prefer good old-fashioned police work.
Timothy McGee: Well, it's not an old-fashioned world, Tony.
Anthony DiNozzo: Tell that to Gibbs.
Timothy McGee: What was it like?
Anthony DiNozzo: Sex? Losing your virginity? It's good.
Timothy McGee: Pretending to be someone else.
Anthony DiNozzo: I don't know, Elf Lord.
Timothy McGee: You were really in love with her, weren't you?
Anthony DiNozzo: Don't you have some more typing to do or something?
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Yeah, he does. Car wasn't there.
Timothy McGee: What? What... I double-checked the... All right, I think I know what happened here.
Anthony DiNozzo: 20 bucks says McGee's about to say something nobody understands again.
Timothy McGee: The GPS coordinates came bundled in a proprietary packet. Since it was a beta...
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: I'm starting to think you can't help yourself, McGee.
Timothy McGee: The code must have alerted Adrian Nelson that I was tracking him. He reprogrammed his car to send us back false coordinates.
Ziva David: Can you deprogram it, McGee?
Timothy McGee: I can try.
Anthony DiNozzo: Well, while he tries, I'm going to resort to some good old-fashioned police work. Look. What's that?
Ziva David: Who are you calling?
Donny: Donny.
Anthony DiNozzo: Hey. DiNozzo.
Donny: Hey, man. Yeah, man, what's going on?
Anthony DiNozzo: Listen, I got an update on a BOLO. Missing kid.
Donny: Give it to me.
Anthony DiNozzo: Dead Head sticker.
Donny: Excellent. Where?
Anthony DiNozzo: Left rear window.
Donny: Nice. Remember Saturday night I know, man...
Anthony DiNozzo: That was good times. I got another call, I really got to go. Hang tough, Donny. Old-fashion police work deserves an old-fashion reward.
----------
NCIS: Men's room
Anthony DiNozzo: Interrogation got a little out of hand. I had to... I can't explain that.
Ziva David: Hello... Again.
Anthony DiNozzo: You know, I saw this on... Cinemax once.
Ziva David: So, what happens now?
Anthony DiNozzo: They play some funky music, and then you say "I have been watching you from afar."
Ziva David: Well, I've been watching you from afar, which is why I know how much you cared for Jeanne.
Anthony DiNozzo: Your timing is impeccable.
Ziva David: And how much it hurt when she left. So, what happens now?
Anthony DiNozzo: I said I'm fine.
Ziva David: You are not fine... You are still deeply troubled.
Anthony DiNozzo: Even if I was, this bothers you because...?
Ziva David: Because you are my partner... And because you made a grave error in judgment falling in love with that girl.
Anthony DiNozzo: If this is a pep talk, I give you a D-minus.
Ziva David: And right now, it is very clear you are still hanging on to her.
Anthony DiNozzo: I see the confusion. These are called feelings, Ziva.
Ziva David: Feelings you need to let go.
Anthony DiNozzo: That easy?
Ziva David: Even if by some miracle Jeanne did forgive you, would you be willing to be Tony DiNardo full-time? To leave your entire life behind for her? You did not think this through.
Anthony DiNozzo: Didn't you tell me the heart wants what it wants.
Ziva David: No. Actually, I didn't.
Anthony DiNozzo: Well, it does.
Ziva David: Well, it shouldn't.
Anthony DiNozzo: Really. This coming from the woman who fell in love with the dead man walking.
Ziva David: You crossed the line, Tony.
Anthony DiNozzo: I crossed the line? Don't ask.
Timothy McGee: Wasn't going to. BOLO just came in, they found the car.
Anthony DiNozzo: Jelly Donut, one. Inspector Gadget, zero.
Timothy McGee: Not the BOLO on the Nelsons' car. The BOLO on the dead petty officer's.
----------
NCIS: garage
Timothy McGee: Nothing here. The truck's been wiped clean.
Anthony DiNozzo: And someone's stolen our petty officer's blood stain.
Ziva David: It was also cleaned.
Anthony DiNozzo: Or we're wrong about where Munoz was shot.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Witnesses.
Timothy McGee: No witnesses. Local LEOs found the truck abandoned near a forest preserve.
Anthony DiNozzo: It couldn't have been there long.
Ziva David: How would you know that? Wait. I forgot... You know everything about everybody.
Anthony DiNozzo: Sap. Ziva there'd be more sap on the roof.
Ziva David: Except for the fact it rained last night.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Do I need to send you two back to the men's room?
Anthony DiNozzo: She followed me in there!
Ziva David: Only because you wouldn't talk to me.
Anthony DiNozzo: Shutting up, boss.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Ready?
Ziva David: So much for being wrong about where Petty Officer Munoz was shot.
Anthony DiNozzo: We got footprints.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Yeah, question is, whose?
Ziva David: Petty Officer Muñoz was a size 13.
Anthony DiNozzo: Those look like a size 13 to you?
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Send them up to Abby.
----------
NCIS: Abby's lab
Abigael Scuito: The prints were made by a residue of polysaccharide dust derived from beta-glucose. What makes it interesting is the backbone of D-xylopyranose, linked with eight xylose units. Panda poop.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Panda...
Abigael Scuito: Poop. Which is why it fluoresces, like all other poop does. What makes it really, really, interesting... Is the sodium hypochlorite. Aka Chlorine bleach... I lost you at poop? Paper, Gibbs. A while ago, a group of Chinese researchers decided to try to recycle panda poop into high-quality paper. They contracted several U.S. Paper mills to develop the research.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Killer must have gone to one after he shot Muñoz.
Abigael Scuito: The dust from the mill would've been impossible to avoid. There's one within a hundred miles. Closed down six months ago... I love my job!
----------
Paper's mills
Anthony DiNozzo: You're telling me I'm the only who has a problem with the panda poop paper?
Timothy McGee: Actually, animal dung's used for a variety of things: paper, fuel, mud bricks. It's very useful.
Ziva David: Not for them, it wasn't. This place is abandoned.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Not quite, Ziva.
----------
Adrian Nelson: Honey, let me get it.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: DiNozzo.
Anthony DiNozzo: In position, boss.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Federal agents!
Anthony DiNozzo: NCIS! Hands in the air!
Adrian Nelson: Agent Gibbs, please, you have to leave!
Sara Nelson: My God, you'll ruin everything!
Adrian Nelson: You've got to stop him.
Sara Nelson: My baby! They've got my baby!
Adrian Nelson: It's okay. Honey.
----------
NCIS: Squad room
Anthony DiNozzo: At least probie has an idea for his next book. Baby kidnapped, cops screw up ransom drop.
Timothy McGee: Let me know asap if the situation changes.
Ziva David: The Nelsons hid the kidnapping from us, Agent DiNozzo, the mistake was theirs.
Anthony DiNozzo: Well, you should point that out to Gibbs, Officer David. I'll be in the next zip code.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: McGee?
Timothy McGee: Agents are still out canvassing. No one saw the Honda, much less who was driving.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Keep looking. DiNozzo.
Anthony DiNozzo: Taps on the Nelsons' phones, I'm on it, boss, right now. And I still have a... A few more of Heidi's marks that I have to track down. That's next. That's right after... I'm on it.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Ziva?
Ziva David: Coordinate with state police, see if we can widen the search.
Anthony DiNozzo: Hi, this is Special Agent...
Timothy McGee: You think the kidnappers will call to arrange another ransom?
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs:What's the option, McGee?
Timothy McGee: I'll see about getting more agents on the canvass.
Ziva David: We already have the entire department.

NCIS: Conference room
Adrian Nelson: All I know is, we got a call saying that Heidi was dead, and that if we ever want to see our baby, we needed to come up with $50,000.
Sara Nelson: Which we did, until you ruined it.
Adrian Nelson: How much longer do we have to sit here?
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: That depends.
Sara Nelson: On what?
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Whether or not I get the truth this time.
Sara Nelson: Don't you have something you could be doing? Like... Finding my child?
Adrian Nelson: My wife had a partial hysterectomy four years ago. We tried to adopt and...
Sara Nelson: Went all the way to Southeast Asia and back.
Adrian Nelson: And then we met Heidi.
Sara Nelson: My exact opposite. She had a womb but no eggs. She was a life-saver, it was almost...
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Too good to be true? Then it usually is.
Adrian Nelson: We already knew her background, Agent Gibbs. You still think she was trying to con us?
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: You paid her.
Adrian Nelson: Paid surrogacy's illegal in Virginia.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: That why you didn't go to the police? Look, I got all day. Your kid is missing.
Sara Nelson: We didn't go to the police because we knew they'd screw things up. And you've still got it wrong. Heidi was our friend. We were happy to pay. And she needed the money.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Then she decided she wanted more.
Sara Nelson: This may have been her, but not anymore. She was trying to start over.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Someone wouldn't let her. Who?!
Sara Nelson: I have no idea! I don't know who has my child! But as far as I'm concerned, if anything happens to my child, you're the one who better run for cover.

NCIS: Squad room
Timothy McGee: No satellite coverage of the paper mill. Nothing on the traffic cams.
Anthony DiNozzo: All right, send it over... Careful over there. Wouldn't want to break a finger.
Ziva David: Gibbs does not accept apologies, but I do.
Anthony DiNozzo: I'm sorry, Ziva. I know you were trying to help.
Ziva David: Did I?
Anthony DiNozzo: I'll get back to you after I shame McGee.
Timothy McGee: Did you find something?
Anthony DiNozzo: I've been compiling a list of Heidi's former marks.
Ziva David: We've noticed.
Anthony DiNozzo: Any one of them could have a score to settle. The problem is they all have solid alibis for the day that Heidi was killed, except this guy. Scott Berks. Filed a complaint over a pyramid scheme Heidi was running.
Timothy McGee: Where does he say he was?
Anthony DiNozzo: Well, he doesn't. I haven't found him yet.
Ziva David: Does not exactly look like a score settler to me.
Anthony DiNozzo: No. How about now? A buddy at Baltimore PD just sent this over. Turns out this guy also filed a complaint against Heidi.
Ziva David: It is the same person.
Abigael Scuito: It's called a shill. They're part of the con, but they pose as a customer to try to convince the other marks to jump in. If the con goes bad, they'll often file a complaint so it builds credibility with the other marks. Then they can move in for a secondary con... I used to date this guy once...
Ziva David: He was Heidi's partner.
Anthony DiNozzo: Yeah, might still be. High five for the traditional police work.
Timothy McGee: Tony, he's dead. Killed a year ago by one of his marks.
Ziva David: You might want to brush up on the traditional police work.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Do you know where my killer is?!
Abigael Scuito: I don't know where the killer is, but I know what he was planning on doing with Heidi's body.
----------
NCIS: garage
Abigael Scuito: Since the Chevy didn't leave any skid marks at the site of the accident the first thing I did was check the brakes. The line were intact and the fluids were topped off.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: The pads were bad. They needed to be replaced.
Abigael Scuito: I know, but here's the thing. This is so good, I can hardly take it. The brakes were replaced about two weeks ago. I found metallic shavings in the brake drum and the caliper. It only could have come from new pads and shoes.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Brakes were replaced and then the old ones were put back on?
Abigael Scuito: Yes, the accident was not an accident. Well, actually, it was, it just happened too soon. It was the perfect cover-up. The killer probably planned on putting Heidi's body behind the wheel of the car and sending it over a cliff.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: It'd have covered up the murder.
Abigael Scuito: It'd have been blamed on worn brakes. The only problem is the killer cut it too close. The brakes went out and ka-bam. So who would rely on the mechanical failure of a break pad compressed against a disc rotor to hide a body?

Garage
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Hey!
Joseph Barnes: What did my loser son do now?
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: He killed Heidi Campisano.
Ziva David: Then tried to ransom her baby back to the biological parents.
Joseph Barnes: My boy ain't that clever.
Anthony DiNozzo: Guess that's why he needed your help.
Joseph Barnes: Look, I told you he was here with me all day.
Timothy McGee: Yeah, and your customers confirmed that.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: But nobody we spoke to saw you.
Timothy McGee: A witness did see you in this Honda near the Stern Paper Mill this afternoon.
Ziva David: Seems you two are more than just father-and-son mechanics.
Anthony DiNozzo: Nice shotgun. Shoot any naval petty officers lately?
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Where's the baby?
Joseph Barnes: I don't know what you're talking about. I was at a paper mill. What's that, some kind of a crime?
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Baby!
Joseph Barnes: The baby's with Nicky.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: And Nicky?
Joseph Barnes: I told him to wait here for me to call, but my moron son never does what he's told!
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: DiNozzo!
Anthony DiNozzo: BOLO on it, boss.
Joseph Barnes: That girl of his was never going to give up that baby. I was doing those parents a favor!
Timothy McGee: You're under arrest for the murder of Heidi Campisano.
Joseph Barnes: Come on! That was an accident!
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Petty Officer Muñoz, that an accident, too?
Ziva David: Because his murder is also in our warrant.
Joseph Barnes: Look, when my brakes gave out...
Ziva David: You mean when you rigged them to go out.
Timothy McGee: You replaced Heidi's brakes with a set that were about to fail, and make it look like she died in a crash.
Joseph Barnes: That little son of a bitch! I'm going to kill him! After all I've done for that little bastard!
Anthony DiNozzo: He didn't know the brakes were rigged?
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: No, he didn't. Cancel that BOLO, DiNozzo.

Nelsons's house: nursery
Nicholas Barnes: London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down, London Bridge is falling down, my fair baby. You got my pa?
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Yeah.
Nicholas Barnes: He killed Heidi, made me lie to you about her.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: I know.
Nicholas Barnes: She didn't cheat on me. She wasn't bad no more. We were even going to start a family together. Except Heidi couldn't have no kids of her own... She was smart, though. Figured out a way to get one. Guess that part was bad.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Wish I could tell you it wasn't.
Nicholas Barnes: I would have raised my own boy right... When the baby was born, we were planning to run away, but my pa wanted the rest of the money we were going to get. Heidi and him fought, then she had the baby... My pa took it, she was screaming.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: And you didn't do a thing.
Nicholas Barnes: I did. It was just too late to matter.
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: The brakes.
Nicholas Barnes: Am I in trouble?
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Prosecution's going to call it "attempted murder." Your lawyer's going to call it "self-defense."
Nicholas Barnes: What do you call it?
Leroy Jehtro Gibbs: Family.
Anthony DiNozzo: Hey Boss! Is everything okay? It's the sprinkler again. Parents are waiting outside.
Nicholas Barnes: You think I'm crazy?
Anthony DiNozzo: No.

Nelsons's house: living room

Timothy McGee: Here you go, Tony.
Adrian Nelson: Look at him.
Anthony DiNozzo: Tony, I'm not coming back. You need to choose, Jeanne.
