Street

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Take the back, McGee.

-----------

Garden

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: McGee?

Timothy McGee: In position, boss. Back door's open.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Federal agents! We have a warrant!

-----------

House: living room

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Clear!

Anthony DiNozzo: Clear! We've got to stop serving warrants after lunch. Ten bucks says McGee spills it on this one.

Ziva David: Where is McGee?

Gunshot

-----------

Garden

Ziva David: McGee.

-----------

Later

James Palmer: Looks like a through-and-through flesh wound.

Anthony DiNozzo: Well, it's a good thing McGee's not a better shot.

Donald Mallard: When did you last have a tetanus shot?

Timothy McGee: Uh, probably after that time Dicky Newsome and I were fighting over the Galactic Hunt Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Anthony DiNozzo: So last year sometime?

Timothy McGee: It was a while ago, Ducky.

Donald Mallard: Yeah, well, a trip to the infirmary is in order.

Ziva David: Should we take him to the vet?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: The dog is going nowhere but back to the lab. It's covered with evidence.

Anthony DiNozzo: Great. Abby'll have a field day combing that for evidence.

Ziva David: It is not an "it" or "that." It is a "he." And he is in pain.

Donald Mallard: Yes, well, this should alleviate that.

James Palmer: Actually, Dr. Mallard, it would be more effective in the back of the neck.

Donald Mallard: Really?

James Palmer: Actually, you should pinch the skin up, so the needle doesn't hit the muscle mass.

Donald Mallard: Where did you learn that, Mr. Palmer?

James Palmer: I spent two summers as a veterinary assistant during college.

Donald Mallard: Wonderful.

James Palmer: I should have no problem patching him up. Unless you would rather...

Donald Mallard: No, no, carry on. I have a body with which to acquaint myself.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Not the only one... DiNozzo, Ziva, come on.

Timothy McGee: Boss, what about me?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Take the evidence back to Abby.

-----------

House: living room

Ziva David: Petty Officer Kyle Hanson, military working dog handler with the Pax River Master-at-Arms Force. Drug Enforcement Unit.

Anthony DiNozzo: Enforcing everyone but himself.

Donald Mallard: Given the prevalence of bite marks, torn flesh, puncture wounds, I'd postulate that Petty Officer Hanson was the victim of a dog attack.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Really going out on a limb there, Duck.

Donald Mallard: That assumption is further substantiated by the presence of a dog at the scene of the crime.

Anthony DiNozzo: By cracky, Dr. Mallard, I believe you've solved the case!

Ziva David: Did you wake up in the wrong bed this morning?

Anthony DiNozzo: If your question is did I wake up on the wrong side of the bed, the answer is no, but my mood did sour somewhat when I walked in and found that our chief suspect was dead.

Donald Mallard: And it appears he's been dead for at least 36 hours.

Ziva David: That explains his disappearance and why he did not show up for his dog-handling duties.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Doesn't explain why his dog turned on him.

Anthony DiNozzo: It's just too bad, you know. If we had a little more time, we would've been able to bust this guy, turn him and, uh, find out who was shipping drugs through this base... Unfortunately, thanks to Semper Fido, he's never going to roll over. Sorry, boss.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs:Play dead.

Ziva David: Gibbs!

Anthony DiNozzo: I can help. Sorry, sorry, boss.

-----------

House: bedroom

Anthony DiNozzo: Room with a view... Hey!

Ziva David: Cocaine?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Well, you tell me.

Anthony DiNozzo: Looks like someone was in a hurry to rip into it.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Or bite into it.

Anthony DiNozzo: Would explain why the dog went all Hannibal Lecter. Sorry, I know. Movie reference.

Ziva David: Cocaine.

Anthony DiNozzo: Aha! And a generous allowance. If Hanson wasn't dead, we'd have enough to arrest him.

-----------

NCIS: garage

Abigael Scuito: Hey, McGee... Oh, my God! What happened to you?

Timothy McGee: I was attacked by a vicious dog.

Abigael Scuito: Are you okay?

Timothy McGee: Careful, careful.

Abigael Scuito: Sorry... Did you provoke it?

Timothy McGee: If you consider serving a warrant provoking.

Abigael Scuito: What happened to the dog?

Timothy McGee: He was shot.

Abigael Scuito: What?! McGee! Poor thing.

Timothy McGee: Abby. Abby, careful, that is one vicious dog.

Abigael Scuito: Hi. Yeah, McGee. It's really vicious.

Timothy McGee: Well, Ducky and Jimmy sedated him. We're hoping you can get some evidence off him.

Abigael Scuito: There, that's better... Who would shoot this cute, little dog? Aw, look at you.

Timothy McGee: It was self-defense. It, it was self-defense!

Abigael Scuito: You shot that cute, little dog?!

Timothy McGee: He's not cute and little. He's, he's vicious and large.

Abigael Scuito: How could you shoot an innocent animal, McGee?

Timothy McGee: Abby, that dog is not innocent; he killed someone.

Abigael Scuito: Dogs don't kill people. People kill people.

Timothy McGee: People with dogs that kill people kill people.

Abigael Scuito: You didn't kill anybody, did you? No.

Timothy McGee: That's my Hugo Boss. Hey, don't you think that you're compromising the evidence with my $500 jacket?

Abigael Scuito: If you think that I can't distinguish the fibers on your stupid jacket from the evidence on the dog, you don't know me, McGee. And right now? I don't want to know you... Good dog... Bad McGee!

-----------

NCIS: Squad room

Jennifer Shepard: Jethro... I just got a call from Pax River. The Base Commander's talking like the case is closed.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: That's a dead end. It's still open.

Jennifer Shepard: He claims we got our man.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Got one link in a bigger chain. Still got five suspects.

Jennifer Shepard: From his point of view, both the cocaine and the trafficker were found. Problem solved.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Is that your point of view?

Jennifer Shepard: I can... Sympathize with the commander's impatience.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Well, you "sympathize." I'll keep investigating.

Jennifer Shepard: Mm-hmm, suspect's dead. You played your hand. Rest of the team closed up shop... I can't afford to waste resources if the trail's gone cold.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Director, the only thing that's cold is that body in autopsy.

Jennifer Shepard: Clock's ticking. I will inform the Base Commander that you will be prudent in your disruption of his operations... Something else?

-----------

Anthony DiNozzo: Hey, they check you for rabies?

Timothy McGee: No.

Anthony DiNozzo: What? Cujo. You know, the movie? Based on the novel by Stephen King? Perfectly friendly Saint Bernard contracts rabies, bites up everyone in this town. I mean, peoples' brains start swelling up, leaking out of their ears. People are foaming at the mouth.

Timothy McGee: Define foaming.

Ziva David: You do not have rabies. You're getting him all worried for no good reason.

Anthony DiNozzo: She's right, McGruff. What you should worry about is whether our dead petty officer, whose blood was all over the dog, 'cause he might have had some transmittable disease like herpes or hepatitis or malaria.

Timothy McGee: I hadn't thought about that.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Have any of you thought about how to pick up the pieces to this case?

Anthony DiNozzo: Well, the one piece that we did have, Petty Officer Hanson, is now lying in pieces... Thanks to a possibly rabid dog.

Ziva David: Bad timing for us and for him.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: What do we know, McGee?

Timothy McGee: We know that Hanson recently called a known cocaine trafficker, Diego Galante, in Panama, and that Galante has recently disappeared.

Ziva David: Hiding.

Anthony DiNozzo: Or dead.

Ziva David: We also know Galante claimed he had bribed a flight crew, and that he had access to Coco Solo Naval Air Station in Panama, where C-130s make regular supply flights from Pax River every week.

Timothy McGee: When we cross-check which flights match that pattern, we come up with...

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Suspects. One or more of them? Any of them called Galante?

Ziva David: No, just Hanson.

Timothy McGee: Galante would have ditched his cell by now.

Anthony DiNozzo: I think it's time we go in and lean on those guys, boss.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Not yet... McGee.

Timothy McGee: I know, boss.

Anthony DiNozzo: Boss, we've already been through all this. I mean, I got no leads; Ziva's flirted with every seaman on the base; and McGee's watched a hundred hours of Petty Officer Junction.

Timothy McGee: 150, actually.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Go back to Pax River and talk to the other dog handlers.

Anthony DiNozzo: See if one of them barks. I know.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Hey, McGee?

Timothy McGee: Yeah?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You okay?

Timothy McGee: Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine, boss.

-----------

NCIS: Abby's lab

Abigael Scuito: You're a clean boy. Okay. Be a good boy while Abby scrubs the inside of your mouth for DNA... Who's a good Jethro?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I'm a good Jethro.

Abigael Scuito: Don't be mad. Be flattered. He's just so strong and handsome and quiet, so I named him "Jethro."

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Abby?

Abigael Scuito: Well, "Butch" was just too... You know, butch. And don't worry 'cause I got enough blood and hair and fiber samples before I cleaned him. I don't have results for you yet, and I know how much you love results.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Abs.

Abigael Scuito: That's not what you're here to tell me. You're here to tell me "Abby, don't get too attached to the dog because he doesn't belong to us, and we don't know where the evidence is going to lead us yet."

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Okay, then good, I won't have to tell you.

Abigael Scuito: No. You don't.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Abs. The dog belongs in the kennel.

Abigael Scuito: No, he doesn't, Gibbs. He shouldn't be behind bars. He's innocent... Okay, come on... Get inside... I'm going to prove it to you. I took a swab from Jethro and I took a swab from the victim's neck. When I get the results back, I'm going to show you that they don't match.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: We'll see... The dog stays in the kennel, Abs.

-----------

Pax River

Ziva David: Do you know him?

Lance Tolliver: Lieutenant Commander, flight crew. Don't know them all. Don't know him.

Ziva David: His name is Warfield. Do you know Lieutenant Bowen?

Lance Tolliver: No, ma'am.

Ziva David: Can you tell me what kind of people Hanson was associating with? Did he say anything to you before he went UA? Your shoulders work much better than your mouth.

Lance Tolliver: I work with dogs, ma'am, not people.

Ziva David: You worked with Hanson. Did anything about his behavior or activities seem suspicious to you? You don't like us being here, do you? Is it because we are cops interviewing other cops, or is it because you guys could not sniff out who was smuggling drugs, and we have to do your job for you?

Lance Tolliver: Sorry, ma'am. I just didn't get to know Petty Officer Hanson all that well.

Ziva David: Obviously, you did not converse with him on a regular basis, but, surely, you must have noticed something about the man.

Lance Tolliver: Hanson was a showboat. He liked to flaunt the cash... Draw your own conclusions.

-----------

Anthony DiNozzo: Dogs you work with ever bite?

Erica Perelli: Not mine.

Anthony DiNozzo: What about Hanson's?

Erica Perelli: Kyle was a friend. I don't like to speak ill of anybody, especially not somebody who died a horrible death like that.

Anthony DiNozzo: So you're covering 'cause you know he was guilty of something?

Erica Perelli: No, sir. Just couldn't keep complete control of his dog is all. Got aggressive on me and others on occasion.

Anthony DiNozzo: What would happen if a dog got a taste of some cocaine?

Erica Perelli: Is that what happened? It would be bad, sir.

Anthony DiNozzo: Dog-handling. Must be a pretty ruff job. I don't want to dog you with a lot more questions, but if I need to sniff around more, is there a number I can call, or...?

Erica Perelli: Folks inside keep track of me pretty good. You can call them.

-----------

NCIS: Autopsy room

James Palmer: What about this one, Dr. Mallard?

Donald Mallard: Ah. Those wounds are glancing. Ah. Too much tearing, I'm afraid. Now, what we're looking for is a representational bite-hold. Ah. Ah, this one will do... You know, Mr. Palmer, a number of these puncture wounds are exceedingly sharp.

James Palmer: Certain breeds, especially shepherds, can have needle-sharp teeth capable of inflicting severe puncture wounds.

Donald Mallard: As on the clavicle here... Did you get your shots, Timothy?

Timothy McGee: I feel like a dartboard. Guess that's better than being a chew toy.

Donald Mallard: If you're looking for my findings, I'll be done momentarily.

Timothy McGee: Actually, uh, Ducky, I was... I was wondering if you could tell me what the symptoms of rabies are?

Donald Mallard: Yes, well, I will yield the floor to young Palmer here, and allow our resident dog expert to explain to you why you do not have rabies.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You got it?

Donald Mallard: Well, I've got enough.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Oh, no, no. We need to do this one together, Duck.

-----------

NCIS: Abby's lab

Abigael Scuito: Hey, Gibbs. Hey, Ducky. Did you meet Jethro?

Donald Mallard: Yeah, quite a number of years ago.

Abigael Scuito: No, not Gibbs. Jethro. Say hi to him.

Donald Mallard: Hello, Jethro.

Abigael Scuito: Say hi to Ducky.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Abs.

Abigael Scuito: Good boy.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs:Ducky has his initial findings.

Donald Mallard: Yes, well, uh, Petty Officer Hanson was mauled. He had a neck wound that severed his carotid artery, and that made him bleed to death.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You understand what he's saying to you, Abs?

Abigael Scuito: Well, yeah. Hanson was killed by a dog. It doesn't say this dog.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Abby, c-come on.

Abigael Scuito: Jethro is innocent. I found pieces of Hanson's flesh in Jethro's teeth.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Well, that sounds innocent.

Abigael Scuito: Flesh that had hair follicles on it from Hanson's arm, not his neck.

Donald Mallard: Well, that's hardly surprising. We found multiple perforating injuries on most of Hanson's extremities. Well, that hardly suggests the dog was innocent.

Abigael Scuito: It shows that Jethro was trying to drag his owner. He was trying to save Hanson.

Donald Mallard: Or Hanson was putting up his arms to protect himself from a dog that was killing him.

Abigael Scuito: We don't know that. And there's still a lot of evidence that has to be processed. There's the castings. I haven't gotten a DNA match yet on the dog's saliva.

Donald Mallard: Butch?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Butch.

-----------

NCIS: Squad room

Anthony DiNozzo: Wait. Go back. Tolliver just handed something to Sanchez.

Ziva David: Small package. Could be drugs.

Anthony DiNozzo: What's he doing? What?

Ziva David: He's opening it. He's examining it.

Anthony DiNozzo: Uh-huh. He's eating it.

Timothy McGee: Looks like Funyuns.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: What do we got?

Anthony DiNozzo: A sudden urge to hit the vending machines.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: McGee?

Timothy McGee: Besides eye strain, not much, boss.

Anthony DiNozzo: No pressure, boss, but I just got word the Pax River Five are shipping out to Panama in 36 hours.

Ziva David: We'll lose access to them for at least a week, maybe two.

Anthony DiNozzo: Bring 'em in?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: No. We go to them. Catch 'em off guard.

Timothy McGee: Shake the tree, see what falls.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Ziva, DiNozzo. Let's go.

Timothy McGee: Boss?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs:Yeah. Gibbs.

Abigael Scuito: Gibbs, I've got something.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Mm-hmm. I'll meet you in the car.

-----------

NCIS: Abby's lab

Abigael Scuito: Gibbs. Look in the microscope.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Hmm. Found cocaine in the dog.

Abigael Scuito: Just look in the microscope, Gibbs. Do it.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: It looks like a bug.

Abigael Scuito: It's not just a bug, Gibbs. It's a flea!

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Okay.

Abigael Scuito: Look... Ducky found that flea on the deceased.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Mm-hmm.

Abigael Scuito: I went over every inch of Jethro. Not one flea. Which means he is totally clean, which means he's totally innocent.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Flea could've jumped off the dog and landed on the dead guy, Abs.

Abigael Scuito: That kind of wild conjecture would never stand up in court.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Did you read the rest of Ducky's report?

Abigael Scuito: Well, sometimes Ducky's wrong... I mean, not... Not often. Maybe one time.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Abs, we have to give the dog back.

Abigael Scuito: Gibbs... You know what that means.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You can't keep the dog, Abs.

Abigael Scuito: But... Okay.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Okay.

Abigael Scuito: I'll give him back after I finished getting all the evidence off of him.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: How much more do you need, Abby? You found cocaine in the dog. You got the victim's flesh on the dog's teeth, dog's saliva on the victim. He attacked McGee.

Abigael Scuito: Gibbs... Look at his eyes... Does he look like a killer?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You are just making this rougher on yourself, Abs.

-----------

NCIS: Squad room

Donald Mallard: If you have a moment... Up to the office.

-----------

Timothy McGee: Can I help you?

Erica Perelli: Petty Officer Erica Perelli, dog handler, Pax River... You the one shot Hanson's dog?

Timothy McGee: Uh...

Erica Perelli: Looks like he bit you pretty bad.

Timothy McGee: I've been bitten harder. By dogs. I love dogs. I'm a... I'm a dog person, really.

Erica Perelli: What kind of dog do you have?

Timothy McGee: Uh, I don't yet, but-but I might... Will soon, very soon. I just need to find the right girl... Dog. Girl dog. I want a girl dog. Uh, I do like, boys, though, of course.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Don't ask, don't tell, McGee.

Timothy McGee: Hey, boss. Uh, this is Petty Officer Perelli. She is here to...

Erica Perelli: To collect the dog, sir. Sorry to say he has to be put down... I wish there can be another way, but it's Navy policy in fatal dog-mauling cases.

Timothy McGee: Boss, I can take Petty Officer Perelli down, if you'd like.

Erica Perelli: You can call me Erica.

Timothy McGee: Timothy.

-----------

NCIS: Elevator

Erica Perelli: There have been a lot of tough assignments over the years, but... This is one of the toughest.

Timothy McGee: It's probably not going to get any easier. Abby, our forensic scientist, has become a bit attached to the dog.

Erica Perelli: How attached?

-----------

NCIS: Abby's lab

Timothy McGee: Abby? Abby?

-----------

Pax River: tarmac

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: NCIS!

Anthony DiNozzo: Gather around, kids. We're gonna have a little chat.

David Warfield: We have a training mission.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Not anymore.

-----------

Ziva David: We know without a doubt that a major cocaine smuggling operation was run out of this aircraft.

-----------

Anthony DiNozzo: The name Diego Galante ring any bells?

-----------

Ziva David: Major drug trafficker in Panama. He was supplying to someone on this aircraft.

-----------

Colin Dixon: This is bullcrap.

Anthony DiNozzo: Sir, if by bullcrap, you mean your worst freakin' nightmare, then, yeah, this is bullcrap.

-----------

David Warfield: Those contrabandistas down there will say anything. Doesn't make it true.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Doesn't make it false.

-----------

Scott Bowen: So I heard some rumors. Some local guy bragging he bribed the flight crew.

Ziva David: You didn't believe him.

Scott Bowen: Nobody can bribe a whole flight crew.

Ziva David: He only had to bribe one.

-----------

Anthony DiNozzo: As loadmaster,you're in charge of everything that's brought aboard the aircraft?

Colin Dixon: Yes, sir.

Anthony DiNozzo: So you could sneak aboard whatever you wanted?

-----------

Ziva David: You seem nervous.

Scott Bowen: Don't like being questioned by cops, ma'am.

Ziva David: Because you did something.

Scott Bowen: Because it can cause me trouble, even when I didn't do something.

-----------

Peter Bidwell: As flight engineer, I'm in charge of every moving part of this aircraft, sir.

Anthony DiNozzo: Gives you access to every nook and cranny. Lot of hiding places on a C-130,huh?

Peter Bidwell: If I was smuggling drugs, I'd be living it up in Georgetown, not slumming it in the barracks,sir.

-----------

David Warfield: I don't believe any of my men are involved in this, but even the best aircraft commanders have a limited field of vision.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Well, it's your crew. Your responsibility.

-----------

Ziva David: You know how long a prison sentence you'd be facing?

-----------

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Life.

-----------

Ziva David: Life.

-----------

Anthony DiNozzo: If you're not involved, you don't want to go down with the person who is.

-----------

Ziva David: If you are involved, and you talk, you will get a reduced sentence.

-----------

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: A limited-time offer. Otherwise...

-----------

Anthony DiNozzo: We're like a locked-on missile.

-----------

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: The only question is who we take down.

-----------

Anthony DiNozzo: Think they're all involved?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: No.

Ziva David: Think we rattled them?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: We'll see.

-----------

Pax River: entrance

Guard: Can I help you, ma'am?

Abigael Scuito: I'm looking for fleas.

Guard: Fleas?

Abigael Scuito: Yeah.

Guard: Yes, ma'am.

-----------

Street

Abigael Scuito: All right, Jethro... We're just gathering evidence. It's for your own defense. Jethro!

Man: I'm Jethro.

-----------

Land

Abigael Scuito: Jethro! Jethro, come here... Jeth... Jethro! Don't ever do that again! Hey, McGee.

Timothy McGee: Where'd you take the dog? Abby?

Abigael Scuito: I'm at the naval base,McGee. You better get down here. I think we have another body.

-----------

Later

Donald Mallard: Careful, Mr. Palmer.

James Palmer: Sorry, Doctor.

Donald Mallard: We're trying to take bones out of the ground, not put mine in.

James Palmer: Of course.

Timothy McGee: That dog should have a muzzle on it, Abby.

Abigael Scuito: Put a muzzle on yourself, McGee. It's not like he shot you... All right, I know I shouldn't have taken him out without authorization, but time was of the essence. And besides, Jethro might have uncovered an important clue.

Timothy McGee: Or maybe it's another one of his victims and he's confessing.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Or maybe it's his lunch.

Donald Mallard: Only if he was a cannibal, Jethro... I wasn't talking to you. And, uh, you may want to cover your eyes. What's here is not human... It's canine.

-----------

NCIS: Squad room

Anthony DiNozzo: Criminal investigation is really an art. It involves creativity and inspiration. Don't you think?

Ziva David: You found a clue, Tony. It does not make you Picasso.

Anthony DiNozzo: Ho, ho, ho, ho. I'm sensing a little frustration here... Envy. Let it go. It's counterproductive. Boss, I got something... The pilot we talked to, Lieutenant Commander Warfield, has a cousin stationed at Pax River. Petty Officer Phillip Granger. Warfield listed him as his emergency contact. Granger was busted for cocaine possession two months ago. Failed to appear to face charges. He has fled.

Timothy McGee: Family business. Warfield supplies to his cousin.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Maybe.

Anthony DiNozzo: Certainly worth another chat with him.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Keep digging.

Ziva David: I have more on Lieutenant Commander Warfield.

Anthony DiNozzo: You do?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Fetch.

Anthony DiNozzo: What'd you find?

Ziva David: A little inspiration.

Anthony DiNozzo: Hey.

Erica Perelli: Hey, Timothy!

Anthony DiNozzo: Timothy?

-----------

NCIS: Elevator

Ziva David: I guess she prefers McGee's scent.

Anthony DiNozzo: Ha! She'll eat him alive.

Ziva David: Let it go, Tony.

-----------

NCIS: hallway

Timothy McGee: I'm sorry you had to make two trips out here.

Erica Perelli: I don't mind. Besides the last thing I want to do is put down a dog.

-----------

NCIS: Abby's lab

Abigael Scuito: Pay no attention to him, Jethro.

Timothy McGee: Abby, open the door... Jethro has to go now... Abby.

Abigael Scuito: I can't hear you,McGee.

Timothy McGee: If you can't hear me, why did you answer?

Abigael Scuito: I am not opening the door until Jethro is proven innocent.

Timothy McGee: Abby, do not make a scene.

Abigael Scuito: Too late, McGee, I am in full scene mode.

Timothy McGee: You can't stay in there forever.

Abigael Scuito: I'm fully stocked on both Caf-Pow! and kibble. I'm good for at least a few days.

-----------

NCIS: Interrogation room

David Warfield: So now you're trying to pick us off one at a time, huh?

Ziva David: Right now it is not about us; it is about you. You are the one with a cousin busted with cocaine.

David Warfield: Is that what this is all about? My loser cousin? We're not even close.

Ziva David: Close enough to give him some of the blow you smuggled in.

David Warfield: I didn't smuggle anything.

Ziva David: We know that your plane brought it in every three weeks for the past three months. Like clockwork.

David Warfield: Two months ago I was in a sick bay in Panama and I didn't fly the aircraft back. I hopped on a transport a week later. If you had checked properly, your own records would prove me innocent.

Ziva David: Records can prove one's guilt or one's innocence.

David Warfield: Damn straight.

Ziva David: Like this record from that sick bay in Panama... For three consecutive days, you signed out from 2:00 to 5:00 in the afternoon. Guess you were not too sick to meet with your supplier.

David Warfield: You got it all wrong.

Ziva David: Hmm... One phone call and I can get every record out of Panama, every single person on that base interviewed, every single step you took retraced. You don't want me making that phone call, do you? Where were you? I will make that call.

David Warfield: I was seeing a woman... Rosa, a translator. I was helping her out.

Ziva David: By sleeping with her?

David Warfield: I care about her. She's a single mom with a six-year-old. Her boy had a respiratory infection real bad, drowning in his own lungs.

-----------

NCIS: Observation room

Anthony DiNozzo: That's sad.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: No,that's leverage.

-----------

NCIS: Interrogation room

Ziva David: So you went to sick bay complaining of a respiratory infection. You did it to get drugs for the boy.

David Warfield: He could have died.

Ziva David: Illegal transfer of prescription medication, dereliction of duty, conduct unbecoming... I smell a dishonorable discharge in your future. Question: do you like being a pilot? I will forget everything you've just told me if you "remember" who in your crew has been acting suspiciously... You are willing to give up your entire career for somebody else's crimes?

David Warfield: No.

Ziva David: Then give me a name.

David Warfield: I don't have a name.

Ziva David: You are lying.

David Warfield: I'm not. I don't know.

-----------

NCIS: Observation room

Ziva David: He is telling the truth.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Mm-hmm... Any way you translate it.

-----------

NCIS: Elevator

Jennifer Shepard: Your investigation?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Oh, moving along.

Jennifer Shepard: You've been looking at me all week like you want to ask me something.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Any health issues?

Jennifer Shepard: I'm fine.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Are you sick?

Jennifer Shepard: My health is fine... Yours, however, could take a turn for the worse if you don't wrap up this investigation.

-----------

NCIS: Abby's lab

Abigael Scuito: Go away, McGee.

Jennifer Shepard: Abby!

Abigael Scuito: Director.

Jennifer Shepard: Do we have a problem?

Abigael Scuito: Nope... No problem.

Jennifer Shepard: Good... Then could you open the door? Thank you... He doesn't look very good, does he?

Abigael Scuito: I think it's because he knows he's on death row. That would put a damper on anybody's spirits. I suppose you're going to order me to give him up, huh?

Jennifer Shepard: Is that what it's going to take?

Abigael Scuito: If I had more time, I could prove that he didn't do it.

Jennifer Shepard: You seem to be the only one around here who thinks so.

Abigael Scuito: So what? So what if I am? You have to stand up for what you believe in. You have to stick to your guns until you can make a wrong right.

Jennifer Shepard: Sometimes things aren't so simple, Abby. Sometimes you can't control the outcome. Sometimes you have to... Look at the reality in front of you... And accept it.

Abigael Scuito: I can't... And I won't... He really doesn't look good, does he?

NCIS: Squad room

Timothy McGee: Uh-uh.

Ziva David: Finding inspiration?

Anthony DiNozzo: Whenever I can... He's my personal McMuse.

Timothy McGee: "When Dogs Attack!" It's very funny.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: All bark, no bite,like the rest of my team.

Anthony DiNozzo: Oh, hey. I just got an e-mail from Abby with teeth. Lab results from the cocaine we found in Hanson's house. Wrappings contained minute trace of hydraulic fluid.

Ziva David: The crew member who comes into contact most often with hydraulic fluid is the flight engineer.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Petty Officer Bidwell.

Timothy McGee: Boss?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Come on.

-----------

Pax River: tarmac

Timothy McGee: Flight Operations said Bidwell was working on a plane.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Check inside.

-----------

Pax River: plane

Anthony DiNozzo: NCIS.

-----------

Ziva David: Petty Officer Bidwell?

-----------

Later

Anthony DiNozzo: Accident?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Not.

Timothy McGee: Looks like that's the lever; it unlocks all the pallets.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Standard ops is lock as you load.

Ziva David: Jittery partner.

Timothy McGee: So we know that Bidwell brought in the drugs and Hanson helped get them through the base.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: We don't know anything until we know everything. You keep looking.

Anthony DiNozzo: Probie-Wan Kenobi.

Timothy McGee: Wait a second. What, do you want me to dust the whole plane by myself?

Anthony DiNozzo: Just the flat surfaces where you can lift a print. Yeah, the whole plane.

NCIS: Autopsy room

Abigael Scuito: Ducky, I need help!

Donald Mallard: What happened?

Abigael Scuito: I don't know! He was acting funny and then he started coughing up blood.

Donald Mallard: Get the X-ray machine, Mr. Palmer.

Abigael Scuito: Is he dying?

Donald Mallard: I don't know.

Abigael Scuito: That's not a good answer!

Donald Mallard: You must calm down.

James Palmer: In his stomach, right there.

Abigael Scuito: What is it?

Donald Mallard: Something that doesn't belong. Prepare to sedate, Mr. Palmer. You'll find everything you need in my bag.

James Palmer: Right away, doctor.

Donald Mallard: We're going to have to operate.

Abigael Scuito: Is he going to be okay?

James Palmer: The inside of a dog's stomach is like a sewer... Survival rates are not good.

Donald Mallard: Well, then both our expertise are going to be challenged.

Abigael Scuito: Ducky, you know what you're doing, right?

Donald Mallard: Well, the fact that he's breathing does put me somewhat out of my element. But we don't have a choice, now, do we? What do we need?

James Palmer: Uh, uh, suture material, Metzenbaum scissors...

Donald Mallard: Hemostats. And scalpels, number ten blade... All right, thank you... You may want to leave now.

Abigael Scuito: No.

Donald Mallard: All right. I need to make an incision posterior to the xiphoid cartilage.

James Palmer: Retracting the peritoneal fat.

Donald Mallard: Oh, clip that bleeder, Mr. Palmer. Here. Hurry, hurry.

James Palmer: All right. All right. Got it.

Donald Mallard: Good, good. Now, pull up the inner mucosal layer. There you go. All right, let's see what we got... Got the little rascal.

Abigael Scuito: Is that what I think it is?

Donald Mallard: Well, your Jethro may be the first Autopsy to survive a trip to autopsy.

Abigael Scuito: Ducky.

Donald Mallard: Wait.

James Palmer: Yes, sir, he's right here.

Donald Mallard: We're not out of the woods yet.

James Palmer: Hold on. Uh, Dr. Mallard, it's Agent Gibbs.

Donald Mallard: Clean this off for me.

James Palmer: Yeah.

Donald Mallard: Can you sew him up?

James Palmer: Absolutely.

-----------

NCIS: Autopsy room / Pax River: tarmac

Donald Mallard: Jethro.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Duck, need you at Pax River Air Station. I got a dead petty officer.

Donald Mallard: Certainly, but we have an interesting development here, Jethro, that you will, you will find fascinating. The dog from Petty Officer Hanson's house...

Abigael Scuito: Jethro!

Donald Mallard: You'll never guess what he swallowed.

Abigael Scuito: It's the tip of a knife, Gibbs!

Donald Mallard: Yes, well, while Hanson was definitely mauled, there was a puncture mark on his collarbone that troubled me. I now know that that puncture mark was made by this knife, not a dog bite. It's a perfect match.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Wasn't just the dog that killed him.

Donald Mallard: No, no, no, no, he had a human co-conspirator. Just a minute, Jethro... Mr. Palmer? The cervical vertebra from the John Doe, the one I cleaned off, where is it?

James Palmer: John Doe?

Donald Mallard: The dead dog, Mr. Palmer.

James Palmer: Oh, uh, 206.

Donald Mallard: Stay with me, Jethro... Yes, as I thought. The knife point fits perfectly into the the wound on the cervical vertebrae of the dog we unearthed yesterday. If I were a betting man, I'd say the two crimes are related, Jethro.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Yeah, Duck. Yeah, that's a bet I'd take, too, Duck.

-----------

Pax River: plane

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: McGee!

Timothy McGee: We're going back?

Anthony DiNozzo: Whoa, boss. Two people,one mother ship... This will take all night.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs:Hope you brought a warm coat, DiNozzo.

Timothy McGee: Just the flat surfaces where you can lift the prints, Tony.

-----------

NCIS: Squand room

Abigael Scuito: McGee, Jethro is fine... I'm taking up a collection for flowers.

Timothy McGee: Why would I give flowers to a dog that attacked me?

Abigael Scuito: Um, maybe because dog is man's best friend. Or maybe because I am a forensic scientist, and I could boil you from the inside out and never leave a trace.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: McGee.

Abigael Scuito: Thanks.

Timothy McGee: Boss, surveillance is a wash. I've watched all the footage. That is Bidwell's killer right there. The other angle's even worse.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Killer knew the plane was under surveillance.

Abigael Scuito: Um, Gibbs, I've been thinking. We don't know for certain that Jethro attacked Hanson. I mean, he could've swallowed the knife tip when as he was licking Hanson's wounds, which would also account for the blood that was all over him. You've thought of that already.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Uh-huh.

Timothy McGee: Hey,Abby. That dog tried to rip me limb from limb.

Anthony DiNozzo: You do have that effect, McGee.

Ziva David: Especially when you bail on our biggest crime scene ever.

Timothy McGee: Got a match... The knife tip found in Jethro came from a Navy-issue tactical boot knife.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Find out who ordered a new boot knife from Pax River in the past 72 hours.

Timothy McGee: Already on it,boss... Three people. One stands out.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Evidence locker, McGee. Get log 421.

-----------

Pax River

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Petty Officer Perelli.

Erica Perelli: Yes, sir. What's this about?

Ziva David: Have you received the tactical boot knife you requisitioned?

Erica Perelli: How did you know about...? Not yet, ma'am.

Anthony DiNozzo: What happened to the knife you got issued three years ago?

Erica Perelli: I lost it.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: In Hanson's body.

Anthony DiNozzo: You knew about our investigation. You and Bidwell needed to pin it on somebody.

Timothy McGee: You picked Hanson. Was it because he was suspicious of you?

Anthony DiNozzo: You killed Hanson and tried to frame him for it.

Ziva David: You set him up by using his phone to call Galante in Panama, then you planted cocaine and cash in his house for us to find.

Timothy McGee: Tried to cover your tracks by making it look like he was killed by his own dog.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Then you killed Bidwell.

Anthony DiNozzo: 'Cause you thought he might crack.

Erica Perelli: I'm no lawyer, but this sounds like an awful lot of conjecture to me, sir. Your whole case is me requisitioning a boot knife. You really think that's going to hold up in court?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Nah.

Erica Perelli: Neither do I... You got a warrant?

Timothy McGee: In my pocket.

Lance Tolliver: Seek! Seek.

Anthony DiNozzo: You still got that magic, McGee.

Lance Tolliver: Heel. Good dog.

Timothy McGee: Evidence log number 421, cocaine.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Your dog don't hunt.

Erica Perelli: Up, boy.

Anthony DiNozzo: You killed the drug-sniffing dog and replaced him with an attack dog.

Timothy McGee: 'Cause you needed a dog that wouldn't react to cocaine.

Ziva David: You're under arrest for the murders of Petty Officer Hanson and Petty Officer Bidwell.

Anthony DiNozzo: You just seem to attract all the sick puppies,Timothy.

NCIS: Abby's lab

Timothy McGee: Hey, Abs.

Abigael Scuito: Hey.

Timothy McGee: What's wrong?

Abigael Scuito: Gibbs asked the base commander if I could keep Jethro.

Timothy McGee: He said no?

Abigael Scuito: He said yes.

Timothy McGee: Then... Why are you...?

Abigael Scuito: My landlord said no. Oh.

Timothy McGee: Well, that's too bad.

Abigael Scuito: I have to find Jethro a good home... He's a distinguished veteran... He deserves to be happy, McGee.

Timothy McGee: Abby, no, no.

Abigael Scuito: No. You have been looking for a dog, Timmy.

Timothy McGee: That dog tasted my blood and I think he liked it.

Abigael Scuito: Okay. Sometimes you have to look at the reality in front of you, and just accept it... You... Are taking Jethro... Accept it... McGee, Jethro, shake... All right, Jethro, you're going to have to be the bigger man.
