Épisode Le jugement dernier (partie 2) S05E19

5x19– Judgment Day (Part 2)

Gibbs's car

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Wait there. I'll come to you.

----------

Outside the diner

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I said to wait.

Leon Vance: And I said not to. This is my crime scene.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Leon.

Leon Vance: You called SECNAV, he called me... I'm sorry, Jethro.

----------

Diner

Leon Vance: Bodies were picked up last night. They're going to D.C.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Ducky?

Leon Vance: He'll be handling the autopsies... First two shooters came through the front door, the other two came from over there... She stood here... She got off the first shots. Shooter number one never even fired his weapon... She took heavy fire after that... One in the shoulder, one in the arm. She started moving this way, the other two entered through the side door... Second shooter went down there... She dropped to her knee. She fired three more times... Which leaves the fourth shooter... We know how that ended... She put up a hell of a fight.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Not good enough.

Leon Vance: She was outnumbered, five to one.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I think you got to check your math.

Leon Vance: We found four.45 caliber shell casings and no.45. Somebody walked out of here alive.

----------

Outside the diner

Leon Vance: There was a second car here. It was the director's ride. The fifth gunman must've taken it.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: No blood?

Leon Vance: Nothing but a tire track. We'll put out a BOLO as soon as we can I.D. the car. I'm sure you want to get this bastard as bad as I do. Yeah... Bodies are on their way to D.C. I chartered a private transport, should be arriving shortly.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: What do you got?

Ziva David: I'm sorry, Gibbs. We are sorry.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: What do you got?

Anthony DiNozzo: Not a lot. Tire tracks are from a second vehicle... We're working on it... We should've tailed her. Ziva... Ziva wanted to tail her.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Why didn't you?

Ziva David: We were given an order.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: And you followed it.

Ziva David: And now Jenny is dead.

Leon Vance: We keep a lid on this. No press, no public statements. Understood?

Anthony DiNozzo: It's a cover-up. Understood.

Leon Vance: I'm heading back to D.C. with the bodies. Agent Gibbs, you will remain here and oversee my investigation. I'll expect a call when you're finished.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Dinozzo... Oversee his investigation... And then call me.

----------

Gas station

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You're late.

Mike Franks: The least of my problems.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Well, I got another one for you. Vance knows there was someone else at the diner.

Mike Franks: My tire tracks? I'm not the only one with a problem. Jenny died protecting someone.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Who?

Mike Franks: You.

----------

NCIS: Squad room

Abigael Scuito: Call him again.

Timothy McGee: I've already left Tony five messages.

Abigael Scuito: Call Ziva.

Timothy McGee: Eight messages.

Abigael Scuito: Why'd you call Ziva more than you called Tony? Right, not important. What is important is we remain calm.

Timothy McGee: I am calm.

Abigael Scuito: Don't you care about your friends?

Timothy McGee: You just said... Nevermind.

Abigael Scuito: We haven't heard anything from Tony and Ziva, then Gibbs gets on an airplane without a word. Something is wrong! I can feel it.

Timothy McGee: If something bad happened, I'm sure we would've... Heard by now.

Abigael Scuito: What is it?

Timothy McGee: E-mail from Tony.

Abigael Scuito: Let me see. I can't look.

Timothy McGee: Photos... Tire prints. Tony wants me to find out what car it came from ASAP.

Abigael Scuito: That's it?! Are they working a case?

Donald Mallard: Am I interrupting something?

Timothy McGee: Just Abby's nervous breakdown.

Donald Mallard: I'm sure everyone is fine. Do you have any reason to believe otherwise?

Timothy McGee: Well, Tony just e-mailed me. It looks like they've started working some kind of case.

Donald Mallard: So there's your answer. They're working on a case. Common courtesy is the first casuality in a Jethro war.

Abigael Scuito: Who is it?

Donald Mallard: It's for me...

----------

NCIS: Squad room / Parking

Donald Mallard: Jethro...

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Ducky.

Donald Mallard: I know I typically dominate the conversation, but since you called me...

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Jenny's dead... Yesterday.

Donald Mallard: Oh, dear... I can't believe that it happened so...

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: She was murdered... Firefight.

Donald Mallard: Tony and Ziva?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Not involved.

Donald Mallard: What can I do?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Five bodies... On their way.

Donald Mallard: I assume one of them is...

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Tell McGee, tell Abby. I'm gonna need them.

Donald Mallard: Jethro...

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I know, Duck.

----------

NCIS: Squad room

Timothy McGee: Who?

Donald Mallard: Jenny.

----------

Diner

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Everything.

Mike Franks: She called me two days ago. Said she needed some help from someone outside the agency.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Another one of her ops.

Mike Franks: One of yours. Europe.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Well, I spent a lot of time in Europe.

Mike Franks: She wasn't specific... What'd I tell you about leaving them loose ends?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Not to. We didn't.

Mike Franks: Well, you screwed the pooch somewhere. Decker's cover was blown. They found him. Made it look like a heart attack.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: "They"?

Mike Franks: Decker's funeral... There was a guy named Viggo came looking for a man. Oshimaida... Relax, probie. Classified went out the window two days ago. I know Oshimaida was the code you used if your cover was compromised.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: In Paris, nine years ago.

Mike Franks: Decker resurrected it. When I found him, instead of giving you up, he sent you a warning. Bought you guys some time.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Not enough.

Mike Franks: She knew what she was getting into... Her last stand was to protect you.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Who protected her, Mike? What happened?

Mike Franks: I was out back... I saw 'em going in the side door... Too late... I did what I could.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You always do.

Mike Franks: If you're looking for an apology...

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I know better.

Mike Franks: I'm sorry, Gunny.

----------

NCIS: Abby's lab

Timothy McGee: I'm almost done here. Where's that next batch?

Abigael Scuito: Coming.

Timothy McGee: It's okay... Abby, it's okay.

Abigael Scuito: No, it's not... We have work to do.

Timothy McGee: Abby, slow down.

Abigael Scuito: I can't.

Timothy McGee: Let me.

Abigael Scuito: How could this happen?

Timothy McGee: I don't know.

Abigael Scuito: Where were Tony and Ziva?!

Timothy McGee: I don't know. And don't ask me what I do know, because I don't know that, either.

----------

NCIS: Abby's lab / Outside the diner

Timothy McGee: I need more time.

Anthony DiNozzo: How long does it take to track a tire print, McGee?

Timothy McGee: We're going as fast as we can. Tony, what happened?

Anthony DiNozzo: Not the time... I need that ID now.

Abigael Scuito: Got it. It's a P-235 all-season radial. It's a custom mold.

Timothy McGee: Sold exclusively to the Western Rental chain for their Mercury Grand Marquis.

Anthony DiNozzo: Check their Los Angeles Airport office. All Grand Marquis rented in the last 48 hours.

Timothy McGee: Got it. Calling you back.

Anthony DiNozzo: Do it now, or have Abby do it. She seems to be having better luck.

Timothy McGee: We're opening a port into Western Rental Servers.

Abigael Scuito: I'm checking all the customer records for the last 48 hours.

Timothy McGee: Ten Grand Marquis at the LAX office. Three rented this week. Only one in the past two days.

Abigael Scuito: It hasn't been returned. Joe Hill out of New Mexico.

Timothy McGee: No listing at the DMV. Must have used a fake ID.

Anthony DiNozzo: That's our guy. Get it! I want that photo.

Timothy McGee: Well, it's not on the server, but I should be able to find it on...

----------

Outside the diner

Anthony DiNozzo: What?

Ziva David: It is not McGee's fault.

Anthony DiNozzo: No. It's not.

----------

Diner

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: We left Paris clean.

Mike Franks: Jenny told me. And I might have bought it, except... There were three agents on that op. Two are dead... The op? How many?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: One each.

Mike Franks: You verify the kill? Her kill.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Jen was a pro.

Mike Franks: I noticed. What about Decker? I hear he had a thing for the ladies.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: What is your point?

Mike Franks: Maybe he was compromised.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: We got out clean.

Mike Franks: Jenny knew something you didn't, probie. And so did Decker. He knew this might not be over. Left an insurance policy... The numbers were...

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: The way we did it back then.

Mike Franks: We burned the original. That's the only copy.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I'll let you know.

Mike Franks: You need me on this one, probie. Viggo was just a hired gun. There's someone else out there.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: It's not your fight, Mike. Vance is looking for you. So go back to Mexico. Give my goddaughter a hug for me.

----------

NCIS: Squad room

Timothy McGee: Joe Hill. H-I-L-L... Great. Send the photo. Thanks.

----------

NCIS: Squad room / Car

Timothy McGee: Boss?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You got a pen?

Timothy McGee: I'm sorry...

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You got a pen?

Timothy McGee: Got a keyboard.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Seven-one-three-nine-nine, dash, two-one-eight-one, dash, five-three-seven-eight.

Timothy McGee: What is it?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I don't know.

Timothy McGee: But I'm going to find out.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Yeah.

Timothy McGee: When are you back?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: On my way.

Timothy McGee: What about Tony and...

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: McGee?

Timothy McGee: Boss, we got a problem here.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Just one?

Timothy McGee: The I.D. on the tire tracks from Decker's diner came in. Car was rented to...

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Mike Franks.

Timothy McGee: Yeah. How did you...?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Erase it.

Timothy McGee: Agent Vance wanted...

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: McGee, erase it!

----------

NCIS: Squad room

Timothy McGee: Viggo... Woo... Ziva.

Leon Vance: Makes me miss California already.

Timothy McGee: Assistant Director Vance. Didn't know that you were...

Leon Vance: Just got in. Late night?

Timothy McGee: Still logging crime scene photos.

Leon Vance: Anything on the shooters?

Timothy McGee: Three of them had a list of prior felonies in the L.A. Area. $5,000 cash on them.

Leon Vance: Local hires.

Timothy McGee: The fourth shooter used a burn-alias to fly from Moscow into D.C., finally into L.A... Viggo Drantyev. Abby and I ran the name for the Direct... The... Director took a photo of him at William Decker's funeral. Asked us to get an ID.

Leon Vance: BOLO?

Timothy McGee: There wasn't one.

Leon Vance: Have Washington-Dulles TSA pull every piece of security footage on Mr. Drantyev. The gate, customs, baggage claim.

Timothy McGee: On it, boss.

Leon Vance: Any lead on the fifth shooter?

Timothy McGee: Nothing yet.

Leon Vance: All right, give it another hour. Then go home, get some rest.

Timothy McGee: Okay.

----------

NCIS: Autopsy room

James Palmer: Doctor. I've never had to... Autopsy a colleague.

Donald Mallard: I assure you, Mr. Palmer, the next one won't be any easier... You, my dear, were a woman who always knew what she wanted. A trait which some may have seen as mere careerism, rather than the true sense of duty, I know carried you. That's why I can't help wondering if your death, too, was on your terms... Mr. Palmer.

James Palmer: I am sorry. I must have...

Donald Mallard: She was dying, Jethro. She knew the deterioration would have been rapid. Debilitating pain, loss of motor skills. As difficult as it is to say, this may have been more merciful.

----------

NCIS: Squad room

Timothy McGee: NCIS. Naval Criminal... I spoke with you earlier. You were supposed to send me four security tapes. You only sent me three. Thank you... I hate airport security.

Anthony DiNozzo: Makes two of us.

Timothy McGee: Rough flight? I saw you two went swimming.

Anthony DiNozzo: What are you saying?

Timothy McGee: I was... Saying I... Saw that picture of Ziva at the pool.

Anthony DiNozzo: Say it.

Timothy McGee: Say what?

Anthony DiNozzo: I screwed up. You can say it, probie.

Timothy McGee: It was not your fault.

Ziva David: Thank you.

Timothy McGee: McGee... Sure, be right down, boss... Abby's lab.

----------

NCIS: Abby's lab

Abigael Scuito: I've barely had a chance to finish unpacking this stuff, let alone processing it. I don't have anything for you.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You will.

Abigael Scuito: I will. And it'll be my best work.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Always is, Abs.

Abigael Scuito: It's different this time. This time it's for the director. This'll be my very best work... Gibbs.. I tried not to sad.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: It's okay.

Abigael Scuito: She was always such a snappy dresser, you know? Like classy. I never told her that. Why didn't I tell her that? She would have liked that. She would have smiled. You can't wait with stuff like that, 'cause you never know what'll happen. I like the way you dress. It's masculine and spruce. Always with a jacket. See, even you smiled. And Tony... You're business but after-hours. It's nice. Ziva, you kick ass, and you look so good doing it... McGee...

Anthony DiNozzo: Boss, I...

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: It's not your fault. Only one thing to be concerned about.

Ziva David: Finding the Director's killer.

Abigael Scuito: Should I call Vance? Unanimous no.

Timothy McGee: Was this a hit?

Anthony DiNozzo: Well, it was personal, has to be. Why else would she have brought along Franks?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: She died trying to end something.

Ziva David: Does that mean the "something" is still happening?

Leon Vance: It's a good question, David.

Abigael Scuito: Don't ask.

----------

NCIS: Elevator

Leon Vance: Why wasn't I invited to the party?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Team lost a member, Leon. Hardly a party.

Leon Vance: Did I miss anything?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: No.

Leon Vance: Then I guess you were on your way up to brief me on the only guy that walked out of that diner alive.

Anthony DiNozzo: We'll take the stairs.

Leon Vance: Tire tracks led to a car rental company at LAX. Mercury Marquis rented to a Joe Hill. We're still waiting on the I.D.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: San Diego team working on this?

Leon Vance: Nobody knows anything about Jenny. Don't worry, I'm sure your people would eventually have put together the missing pieces... Or have you already? You think you can protect them forever, Gibbs, you're mistaken. There's already been one casualty. There will be more.

----------

NCIS: Squad room

Anthony DiNozzo: We got something, boss.

Timothy McGee: Rest of the airport footage from TSA.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Why are you whispering, McGee?

Timothy McGee: You know, I didn't want... To yell. Didn't want to yell. You were across the room there... Right. The footage you requested just came in.

Leon Vance: Let's see it.

Timothy McGee: The first three clips show Viggo Drantyev walking through the terminal, passing up baggage claim.

Leon Vance: Pros usually travel light.

Timothy McGee: Then exits. The last piece they just sent in is from outside. That is Viggo coming through the door right there.

Leon Vance: Cab number and plate, McGee?

Timothy McGee: On it.

Anthony DiNozzo: Wait.

Ziva David: Professionals do not share cabs.

Timothy McGee: Viggo wasn't traveling alone.

Leon Vance: Run it back.

Timothy McGee: You know what? Let me pull up the photos from the funeral... That could be the same woman.

Leon Vance: Either of you recognize her?

Anthony DiNozzo: No.

Ziva David: No.

Leon Vance: Agent Gibbs, you... McGee, get him back here. Now.

----------

Leon Vance: Where is he?

Anthony DiNozzo: Who, Gibbs?

Leon Vance: David.

Ziva David: I am sorry, but I do not have the slightest clue where...

Leon Vance: McGee... Photo pops up, Gibbs runs off the reservation, and nobody knows a damn thing.

Anthony DiNozzo: Sounds like a Wednesday.

Leon Vance: And her? Your director's dead. The director you were assigned to protect is dead. We'll get to that. But right now, I need to know what Gibbs knows... McGee?

Timothy McGee: Decker left a code behind, some kind of insurance policy. It's a string of 13 numbers. Don't know what they mean yet.

Leon Vance: Find out.

Timothy McGee: I will. And when I do, you'll be the first to know.

Leon Vance: The second, but for now, I'll take what I can get... The mystery woman.

Anthony DiNozzo: Name. Go.

----------

NCIS: Abby's lab

Ziva David: Abby.

Abigael Scuito: Hey.

Anthony DiNozzo: McGee sent you an e-mail.

Abigael Scuito: No, I didn't get any... Neat... Who is she?

Anthony DiNozzo: We wouldn't be down here if we knew, would we?

Abigael Scuito: Facial recognition?

Ziva David: Start with Interpol. Eastern Europe.

Abigael Scuito: What country?

Anthony DiNozzo: All of them.

Abigael Scuito: That...

Anthony DiNozzo: Just do it!

Ziva David: Abby... Abby... Please.

----------

NCIS: Squad room

Timothy McGee: Come on, baby. Come on!

Leon Vance: Have you tried latitude and longitude?

Timothy McGee: Leads to an asparagus field in Chile. It's too many digits for a pin number. It's too few for a bank account.

Leon Vance: Encrypted code, then?

Timothy McGee: I've tried letter substitution. I've tried frequency analysis. Affine shift ciphers.

Leon Vance: Affine shift ciphers?

Timothy McGee: It's kind of hard to explain. No offense.

Leon Vance: You mean it's hard to explain why you'd waste time on an affine shift without even knowing the multiplicative inverse?

Timothy McGee: I thought...

Leon Vance: Have you tried a transposition cipher?

Timothy McGee: Not yet.

Leon Vance: Vigen re encryption?

Timothy McGee:Well, I was going to.

Leon Vance: So you haven't done anything? You call me when you have.

----------

NCIS: Autopsy room

Anthony DiNozzo: Surprised it took you so long. Thank God for Ducky.

Ziva David: You have not listened to anything I have said.

Anthony DiNozzo: Well, it's only been three years, I'm a slow learner.

Ziva David: And a slow healer. You're crying over spilled... Milk.

Anthony DiNozzo: It's not milk that I spilled.

Ziva David: Do not do this, Tony.

Anthony DiNozzo: Don't do what? Blow my protection detail? Blow my undercover assignment?

Ziva David: Those sound like apologies.

Anthony DiNozzo: She died alone.

Ziva David: We are all alone.

Anthony DiNozzo: Thanks for that. I just mean that she never got married. Never had any children. Never even heard her talk about it... Paris... That's when it must have happened.

Ziva David: The two of them alone in another world.

Anthony DiNozzo: Putting their lives in each others' hands every day.

Ziva David: Not to mention the long nights.

Anthony DiNozzo: It was inevitable.

Ziva David: Nothing is inevitable.

----------

NCIS: Squad room

Timothy McGee: I got it!

Leon Vance: Got what?

Timothy McGee: I think I figured out the code... John Anthony Walker.

Leon Vance: He was a Navy warrant officer. He was busted in '85 for selling encryption ciphers to the Russians.

Timothy McGee: I know that. But since I hit a dead end, I thought I'd look into his NIS case file for inspiration. And that is when I saw it.

Leon Vance: Ciphers that Walker used are over 20 years old.

Timothy McGee: Not the ciphers I saw, it was this. The code that Decker used was not a code.

Leon Vance: It's an old NIS case file number.

Timothy McGee: I didn't make the connection, because in the NIS days, we used shorter file numbers.

Leon Vance: So Decker hid his insurance policy in plain sight: one of his old files. Pull it up.

Timothy McGee: I can't. Nothing prior to '84 in the system. It's in storage Annex. Across the street.

Leon Vance: You two, with me.

Timothy McGee: Nice work, Agent McGee.

Leon Vance: McGee! Nice work.

----------

NCIS: Storage Annex.

Archivist: Here you go... Knock yourself out.

Leon Vance: Who was the last person to look in this?

Archivist: It'll be on the log... It was last signed out in 2001.

Leon Vance: Wasn't the question.

Archivist: An old friend asked me to do a favor.

Leon Vance: That favor involve you leaving to take a leak?

Archivist: Yeah.

Leon Vance: When?

Archivist: About an hour ago.

Leon Vance: Name.

Archivist: It was just a look, okay?

Leon Vance: Let me guess... Special Agent Gibbs?

Archivist: No. Mike Franks.

Leon Vance: Go take a leak.

Archivist: Sure thing.

Leon Vance: Did you know Mike Franks was involved in this?

Anthony DiNozzo: No.

Ziva David: Yes.

Leon Vance: You want to take a moment and get your stories straight?

Anthony DiNozzo: Yes.

Ziva David: No.

Leon Vance: That explains how Director Shepard got out to the diner. Franks was the fifth shooter.

Anthony DiNozzo: On Jenny's side.

Leon Vance: Whose side are you on?

Anthony DiNozzo: Gibbs!

Ziva David: Gibbs!

Leon Vance: You finally got your stories straight... So where's Franks?

Anthony DiNozzo: Maybe... On his way to Mexico.

Leon Vance: Why?

Ziva David: Honor. He fulfills his debt to Director Shepard. He disappears with the file. It ends.

Leon Vance: BOLO, stop him at the border.

Timothy McGee: Found her.

Leon Vance: We're on the way.

----------

NCIS: Abby's lab

Timothy McGee: Her name is Natasha Lenkov, citizen of Uzbekistan. Came out of nowhere in 1999. Built up a very successful import-export business.

Leon Vance: And before '99?

Abigael Scuito: Didn't exist.

Timothy McGee: No earlier records.

Abigael Scuito: Completely blank.

Timothy McGee: Not a thing.

Ziva David: Whoever our mystery woman was back then, she is now Natasha Lenkov.

Leon Vance: Gibbs saw the photo, recognized her, and he's gone to find her. Tying up a loose end maybe.

Timothy McGee: But how would he know how to find her?

Abigael Scuito: Maybe he's going to call her. Maybe Gibbs has an old number.

Leon Vance: No, he's not going to call her, he doesn't have to. She's going to call him. Viggo's cell phone.

Abigael Scuito: Here... Photographed, tagged, logged and... And missing.

----------

Shepard's house: office / NCIS: Squad room

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Yeah.

Leon Vance: Think of a reason why I shouldn't personally throw the book at you for hindering a federal inquiry?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: 'Cause you want this to go away.

Leon Vance: Where the hell are you?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Not far.

Leon Vance: Franks with you?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Should he be?

Leon Vance: If not, then he's on his way to Mexico with Decker's insurance policy... Don't smile... Natasha Lenkov, real name?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Svetlana Chernitskaya.

Leon Vance: And?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I'm going to have to put you on hold.

Leon Vance: The hell you do...

Timothy McGee: What are you hearing? Russian Polka.

----------

Shepard's house: office

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Hello.

Svetlana Chernitskaya: Who is this?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Does it matter? I've got what you want.

Svetlana Chernitskaya: Where's Viggo?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Dead. I need you to come see me.

Svetlana Chernitskaya: Who is this?!

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Mr. Oshimaida.

----------

NCIS: Squad room

Leon Vance: Trace it.

Anthony DiNozzo: Got a hit on Svetlana Chernitskaya. "Hit" being the operative word. She was the handler for Anatoly Zukov, a KGB hit man who started selling his services to the highest bidder after the Cold War ended. Anatoly disappeared in 1999.

Timothy McGee: Boss... Uh, sir. Got a trace on that cell phone. It's the South Side, narrowing it down. All right, we got the street and... Number.

Leon Vance: Delete it.

Anthony DiNozzo: You want us to...

Leon Vance: Stay.

Anthony DiNozzo: Status, McGee.

Timothy McGee: Gibbs out there. Vance out there. Natasha out there. Us here.

Anthony DiNozzo: What are we doing?

Ziva David: Waiting for the fireworks.

----------

Shepard's house: office

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Hello, Natasha... Or do you prefer Svetlana? Not business, this is personal.

Svetlana Chernitskaya: It was you who killed Anatoly.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: What was he to you?

Svetlana Chernitskaya: Everything.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Why now?

Svetlana Chernitskaya: Because it took me until now to find you.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: The night he died, a woman came to kill you. What happened?

Svetlana Chernitskaya: She couldn't do it.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Can you?

Gunshot

Mike Franks: You were going to go for that, weren't you, probie? So Jenny couldn't do it? Girl was an artist with the steel.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Not back then.

Mike Franks: What changed?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Me.

Mike Franks: She made her own choices.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I taught her how to accept... None of that came natural to her.

Mike Franks: Girl cared for you. Had a lot of regrets.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: We all do.

Mike Franks: They're going to have your ass when they find her body.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: They're not going to find her body.

----------

Street

Leon Vance: Hey. Mike.

Mike Franks: Leon.

Leon Vance: Little late for a stroll... Is that what I think it is?

Mike Franks: It was sanctioned.

Leon Vance: Nine years ago.

Mike Franks: Your point?

Leon Vance: Decker's insurance policy, what's in it?

Mike Franks: You can read it for yourself. I'll leave it for you in my will.

Leon Vance: This has been one big screw-up from start to finish... What do I tell SecNav?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Whatever you want.

----------

NCIS: Squad room

Reporter: These pictures are coming live to us from our ZNN team here in Georgetown. The fire is believed to be at the home of the director of a federal agency here in Washington. The alarm was raised by a passerby who heard an explosion and saw smoke billowing from a downstairs window... By the time the fire trucks arrived, the townhouse was fully engulfed in flames. There has been no word yet if anyone was inside the house at the time the fire started. Fire officials are confident...

----------

NCIS: Squad room

Timothy McGee: What's the story circulating on Natasha?

Anthony DiNozzo: Heard she pulled a Roman Holiday. Ran off with her lover.

Ziva David: Viggo Drantyev.

Anthony DiNozzo: Shotgun wedding.

Reporter: The funeral was held this morning for NCIS Director Jenny Shepard, who died when her Georgetown home was destroyed by fire...

Donald Mallard: I find this whole business utterly distasteful.

Reporter: When leaking gas was ignited by a pilot light. Official autopsy report found Director Shepard died of smoke inhalation. At today's private memorial service, one mourner, who declined to give his name, said Director Shepard had dedicated her life to serving her country, and would be remembered for her courage, determination and loyalty. Assistant Director Leon Vance has been named to succeed her.

----------

NCIS: Director's office

Leon Vance: Could you have Gibbs, DiNozzo, McGee and David come up, please?

P.A.: Right away, Director.

Leon Vance: Bad few days... Officer David... The liaison position with NCIS is being terminated... You're going home... McGee... I'm moving you across to the Cyber Crimes Unit. You'll be working with Officer Hollsworth, starting tomorrow... DiNozzo.

Anthony DiNozzo: Sir?

Leon Vance: You've been reassigned. Agent Afloat, USS Ronald Reagan. Pack your bags, you fly out tomorrow... Agent Gibbs... Meet your new team.
