Alice Hardy: Hello? Hello.

Apartement: bedroom
Jake Burell: Oh, Alice, it's just me. That's the third time you've done that to me this year.
Alice Hardy: You know I don't like surprises.
Jake Burell: Yeah, well... Surprise. It's our one-month anniversary.
Alice Hardy: I knew there was a reason I married you... I'll be right back.
Jake Burell: Be right here... Okay. All right. Little Barry... Alice?

Apartement: bathroom
Jake Burell: Alice, what's wrong?

NCIS: Squad room
Anthony DiNozzo: Run for your life, probie, run.
Timothy McGee: What are you doing?
Anthony DiNozzo: Just trying to save your life.
Timothy McGee: What did you do?
Anthony DiNozzo: Why do you assume it's me?That's a good point, but in this case, actually...
Ziva David: McGee!
Anthony DiNozzo: Too late.
Timothy McGee: Why is she sitting at my...
Anthony DiNozzo: You're on your own, probie.
Ziva David: McGee, get in here!
Anthony DiNozzo: YPlead temporary insanity. It's your best bet.
Ziva David: What did I tell you, McGee?
Timothy McGee: About what?
Ziva David: I told you to destroy those... Twice.
Timothy McGee: I did. I did. No. I... I-I didn't, um... Tony. Tony. Tony must have...
Ziva David: What, when you went to get coffee? You did not erase those photos, did you? Admit it, and I will spare you one of your eyes.
Timothy McGee: I did not erase those photos... I think I know what happened. Um, I-I-I-I... I just deleted my old screensaver, and theoretically, the operating system could have defaulted to the photo directory, but, you know, the odds...
Ziva David: Today's not your lucky day.
Anthony DiNozzo: It is Halloween later this week.
Timothy McGee: And I did see a black cat this morning... Well, it was... It was dark brown.
Ziva David: Give me your hand.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Better than losing an eye, McGee. Let's go.
Anthony DiNozzo: What do we got, boss?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: What do we got? We got a... It's a good question, DiNozzo.
----------
Apartement: bathroom
Anthony DiNozzo: My-My mother isn't quite herself today... Psycho.
Ziva David: You certainly have your moments.
Anthony DiNozzo: The movie, Ziva. Norman Bates. Shower scene.
----------
Apartement: bathroom / bedroom
Anthony DiNozzo: Looks like their night was ruined.
Ziva David: I am going to ruin McGee's whole year.
Anthony DiNozzo: Don't you think you're being a little uptight about this photo thing?
Ziva David: No, really. What do you think he's doing with it?
Anthony DiNozzo: I would rather shave my eyeballs than contemplate that. Blood is human, boss. Not pure, but, uh, enough to make Janet Leigh scream.
Ziva David: We thought it prudent to notify Ducky, given the amount.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Source?
Ziva David: McGee's still looking for it.
Anthony DiNozzo: Mother! Blood! Blood!
Ziva David: Psycho.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: He has his moments.
----------
Street
Timothy McGee: I spoke to the colonel in charge of base operations. These outlying homes receive their water from local aquifers. Water's drawn into holding tanks and distributed to these smaller nodes.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Pumped to the houses as needed.
Donald Mallard: It's a technology as old as the hills. At Skara Brae in Scotland, as I recall, a Neolithic stone village was uncovered, complete with plumbing.
Marine: Dr. Mallard?
James Palmer: Sorry. I'll go get the wrap.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You can drain it.
Marine: Yes, sir.
----------
Donald Mallard: Some bloating, to be expected with the submersion. However, that man has not been in that tank more than 24 hours.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: That your time of death?
Donald Mallard: Perhaps. As to the cause, these lacerations were made postmortem. Note the styrofoam-ish aspect to the wounds. Oh, blunt-force trauma to the head, but I doubt that's a fatal blow. I can also rule out drowning. Yes, were that the case, even with the immersion, there would be conspicuous amounts of froth on his nose and mouth. Hello, hello, hello. What have we here?.. Mr. Palmer, get his chin... Open wide... Ah, the plot thickens.
Timothy McGee: What does that say? A Web site?
----------
NCIS: Abby's lab
Timothy McGee: Primitus-victor. Com is just a placeholder.
Abigael Scuito: The link redirects to a CyberVid video.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Cyber... Vid?
Abigael Scuito: Anyone can upload anything, and anyone can watch it.
Anthony DiNozzo: You know, boss, like, uh, LonelyGirl15?
Ziva David: Evolution of Dance?
Timothy McGee: Numa Numa Guy.
Abigael Scuito: Yeah. How cute.
Timothy McGee: You got to see this. There he goes... I love this guy... Sorry. Back to... Back to our video. We're the first viewers.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: What is this?
Anthony DiNozzo: That's our dead guy.
Abigael Scuito: Oh, don't get in the van, man.
Ziva David: What was that?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: ID?
Abigael Scuito: No hits on the victim's prints yet. I'm still running the DNA.
Timothy McGee: The CyberVid account and redirect links were opened at an Internet cafe in Richmond anonymously a month ago. Someone might remember something.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Go. David, DiNozzo.
Ziva David: Talk to security at Quantico.
Anthony DiNozzo: See who didn't show up for work.
Abigael Scuito: Um, Gibbs? Primitus victor... It's Latin. It means first victim.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Yeah. I know, Abs.
----------
NCIS: Autopsy room
James Palmer: This never gets old.
Donald Mallard: Ah, nice timing, Jethro. I thought you'd like to see what we've found in our scans... Or rather, what we didn't find.
James Palmer: His brain... Is missing!
Donald Mallard: There's no need to get so excited, Mr. Palmer.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Where did it go?
Donald Mallard: Well, it appears to have been removed trans-nasally in a manner similar to that used by the ancient Egyptians prior to mummification, most likely using a tool similar to this.
James Palmer: A missing brain, and so close to Halloween. That's enough to make you want to... Go clean some pipettes.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Postmortem?
Donald Mallard: Well, judging by the intracranial hemorrhaging, I believe the entire cerebrum was removed when he was still alive. Unconscious, of course, but alive, until of course, he wasn't.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Thanks, Duck.
Donald Mallard: At which point, he was frozen.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Frozen?
Donald Mallard: Abby's tissue analysis shows massive cellular ruptures that indicate the body was frozen.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: So, time of death?
Donald Mallard: Oh, not something that I can determine with any degree of accuracy. Perhaps that was the intent... Perhaps not. There are many parts to this puzzle, Jethro.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: It's not a puzzle, Duck.
Donald Mallard: A game? Oh, it's one that this poor fellow lost.
----------
NCIS: Squad room
Timothy McGee: Victim's name is Billy Cole. 26, native of Virginia.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Civilian?
Timothy McGee: Yeah. Cole worked at a local car wash. Abby got a hit off his DNA. Two years ago, he donated his sperm.
Anthony DiNozzo: Ah, the things people will do for money.
Ziva David: You donated your sperm.
Anthony DiNozzo: Didn't do that for the money. Just to enrich the world.
Timothy McGee: So, boss...
Anthony DiNozzo: I spoke to security at Quantico. Oh, I'm sorry. Did I interrupt? Let's see who the boss likes better.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Ziva?
Ziva David: Security at Quantico insists no one could have gotten past their checkpoints with a body.
Anthony DiNozzo: Might have used one of the rivers, but how do you drag a dead guy two miles through the water unless...
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: It was frozen.
Anthony DiNozzo: No. I was gonna say, unless you had one of those James Bond submersible sleds from Thunderball, but frozen's good. Float him right in.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: What else you got?
Timothy McGee: Actually... You know, actually, I don't have anything else. Cole had no criminal record, and, uh, no one reported him missing.
Ziva David: Any connection to the couple on base?
Timothy McGee: As far as I can tell, they were the first ones to turn on their water.
Anthony DiNozzo: Well, the killer did leave a message for whoever found the body. Click the click.
Ziva David: A cryptic message.
Anthony DiNozzo: Could be anything... But we'll figure it out. We can do better.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: McGee, Billy Cole's address... DiNozzo.
Anthony DiNozzo: On your six, Boss. Hey, you haven't forgot about that screensaver, have you, Ziva?
Ziva David: Actually, I had. Thanks for reminding me.
Anthony DiNozzo: What are friends for?
----------
Alley
Anthony DiNozzo: Nice place. Glad I'm up on my tetanus shots. Everything okay, boss? You seem kind of quiet... Eh than usual. You're worried this is just the first?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Eh, worried it's not.
----------
Garage
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Federal agents!
Tommy Doyle: We closed the garage door!
----------
Yard
Tommy Doyle: Billy disappeared, I don't know, about a week ago. Owed me a couple months' rent. Figured he was just skipping out on us.
Rose Woodhouse: I can't believe he's dead.
Anthony DiNozzo: Were you and he...
Rose Woodhouse: No. My God, never.
Tommy Doyle: No, just every other guy in the zip code.
Rose Woodhouse: We were just roommates.
Tommy Doyle: That's actually the name of our band, Just Roommates. Billy was our lead guitarist until I found a new one. The guy just didn't get it.
Anthony DiNozzo: It?
Tommy Doyle: If you have to ask, you obviously don't get it, either.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Need to see his room.
Rose Woodhouse: This is his room, Agent...
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Gibbs.
Rose Woodhouse: Gibbs. That's an interesting name.
Tommy Doyle: So now that he's dead, Agent Interesting Name, if he has any money anywhere, you know with the rent he owes us, that would be really... Okay.
----------
Garage
Rose Woodhouse: What happened? Was it a robbery?
Anthony DiNozzo: Well, that's what we're... Trying to figure, ma'am.
Rose Woodhouse: Should we make you a list? You know, people he knew, phone numbers and stuff? I watch a lot of TV.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Whatever you got.
Anthony DiNozzo: Who was the last one to see him?
Rose Woodhouse: I did. He said he was going out for a beer. Never came back. He does that sometimes.
Tommy Doyle: The guy's got no focus, and I told him when I let him in the band I needed a lead that I could count on. You know, "no amateurs need apply."
Anthony DiNozzo: Boss. Check this out... You know where this was taken?
Rose Woodhouse: Yeah. Why?
----------
Park rural, Virginia
Anthony DiNozzo: I hate serial killers. Though, at least this one was kind enough to give us the location of the murder.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: And the murder weapon.
Anthony DiNozzo: You know, these things always come in threes, boss. He gave us the location, the murder weapon, and the time of death.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: He's daring us to find him.
Anthony DiNozzo: Someone wasn't hugged enough as a child... I guess Latin for "second victim." What's that? Hello,Agent Gibbs...
----------
NCIS: MTAC
Bob Simms: Anything, anything you want whatever you want. Please, let me go. Please. Please let me go... Where are you? No, no-no, no, no, no... No, please...
Leon Vance: Between Mother Theresa and Hitler, I guess there's all kinds... How does he know who was assigned to the case?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Working on it.
Agent: Director?
Leon Vance: Well, we should've seen that coming.
Guy Ross: Another murder has been posted on the popular...
Leon Vance: Do I need to tell you SecNav is already breathing down my neck?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: If it'll make you feel better.
Leon Vance: SecNav is already breathing down my neck. Now you know. I'll handle him, you handle this.
Guy Ross: Park in rural Virginia.
Leon Vance: Just watch your back, Gibbs.
----------
NCIS: Squad room
Ziva David: If the killer's following the same pattern, then each of these clues refers to the time, location and cause of death of the next victim.
Anthony DiNozzo: Wes Craven he's not... Nightmare on Elm Street. Scream. Swamp Thing.
Timothy McGee: Plenty scary to me. I had nightmares all night.
Anthony DiNozzo: That's 'cause you're a lily-livered, little chicken pants who sleeps on plastic sheets.
Ziva David: If you are done, I suggest we start with cause of death. Radiation poisoning.
Anthony DiNozzo: Drowning.
Timothy McGee: Killer nun.
Anthony DiNozzo: Maybe we should try location.
Ziva David: Uh, some kind of, uh, bombing range?
Anthony DiNozzo: Anchor... Age, Alaska?
Timothy McGee: Convent.
Anthony DiNozzo: Is that where they keep the killer nuns?
Timothy McGee: Look, all I'm saying is some of the nuns I knew could get extremely agitated.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Tell me you got something better than agitated nuns.
Anthony DiNozzo: Well, we got an ID off dead guy number two's prints, boss. Bob Simms. 51, former Navy chief.
Timothy McGee: Current address is Central Union Shelter in DC.
Ziva David: He was homeless.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Connection to the first victim?
Anthony DiNozzo: None we could find, unless you count yanking his brain out through his nostrils.
Timothy McGee: Video was uploaded to another anonymous CyberVid account.
Anthony DiNozzo: That's McGee-speak for "we weren't able to trace that one, either."
Rose Woodhouse: I might be able to help with that. Those videos are all over the news. As soon as I saw them, I knew I had to come in. I think I know who made them.
----------
NCIS: Conference room
Rose Woodhouse: It's Tommy's band, but Billy was really the one that made things happen. I can't believe he's dead.
Ziva David: Were you and he, um...
Rose Woodhouse: Just friends. I usually like guys that are a little more mature.
Ziva David: Older.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: The video?
Rose Woodhouse: Right, um, a while ago, Billy decided we should start promoting ourselves a little more. Answered an ad for this guy who makes music videos. This is ours... I'm not really a professional singer.
Ziva David: Well, you have a very, um, interesting way of holding the microphone.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Ziva.
Rose Woodhouse: No, it's okay. Haven't really figured out what I am yet... Wait, this is it.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Name?
Rose Woodhouse: Director's info's on the disc.
Ziva David: Sam Loomis, Loominosity Pictures... It's in Arlington.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Take DiNozzo.
Rose Woodhouse: She's pretty.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: She's a good agent.
Rose Woodhouse: You guys hiring? I wouldn't mind hanging out. I feel safe here.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I can assign an agent to you.
Rose Woodhouse: You?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: No.
Rose Woodhouse: I'll be okay, I guess.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You got a problem, give me a call... Only if you have a problem.
Rose Woodhouse: That obvious? And I was trying to hide it. Another thing I'm not good at.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Take care you of yourself, Rose.
Rose Woodhouse: I'm working on it.
----------
Alley
Anthony DiNozzo: Nice girl... Wasn't my type, though.
Ziva David: Really? She was breathing.
Anthony DiNozzo: Well, I have standards, Ziva. Otherwise, I'd be dating you... Hello?
Sam Loomis: What do you want?
Anthony DiNozzo: NCIS. Like to ask you a few questions.
Sam Loomis: Sorry. Been robbed once already this month.
----------
Sam Loomis' studio
Ziva David: We're looking for Sam Loomis.
Sam Loomis: You're looking at him.
Anthony DiNozzo: The music video director?
Sam Loomis: Yeah, and, uh... Weddings and I did one bris. Come on in.
Anthony DiNozzo: Well, it's like you died and went to probie heaven.
Sam Loomis: Sorry this place is such a mess. Used to be a lot neater. I was an accountant. Didn't even have e-mail when I retired, and now look at me. What can I do for you?
Anthony DiNozzo: Do you know...
Sam Loomis: Hang on a sec. I, uh... I hit some tail at the assisted living center across the street, and, uh, now she won't leave me alone. Sorry, uh... Yes. I know him. He was my first.
Ziva David: First?
Sam Loomis: Music video. I went down to the Apple Store to get an iPod for my grandson, and stayed for the free classes. And now I pull in five C-notes a month shooting freelance video.
Anthony DiNozzo: Billy Cole is dead.
Sam Loomis: Yeah, I know. I saw it on the net. What does it have to do with me?
Ziva David: Your video is very similar to the one the killer left behind.
Sam Loomis: So that makes me a suspect?
Anthony DiNozzo: It makes a coincidence and I'm not a big fan of them.
Sam Loomis: Well, actually, it makes about 300,000 coincidences. That first video, I didn't have a clue what I was doing. Luckily, I had some help.
----------
Sam Loomis' studio / NCIS: Squad room
Timothy McGee: Been working or surfing the Internet?
Anthony DiNozzo: Both. Sam Loomis used a Web site to make the Just Roommates video, boss.
Timothy McGee: The link is to a viral ad campaign. The site lets you upload your own footage and randomly cuts in images it grabs from your photo file.
Anthony DiNozzo: Right. The instant music video killer must've used it for his video.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: How many, uh...
Timothy McGee: Hits. Uh, this site doesn't log IP addresses, so we're going to have to go through them by hand.
Anthony DiNozzo: It still doesn't let Loomis off the hook. We're running his alibi right now for the night of the murders. Should we bring him in?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Let you know.
----------
NCIS: Squad room
Tommy Doyle: Aren't you going to say hello, Agent Gibbs?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Hello.
Tommy Doyle: You won't be able to trace this call. Not where I am.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Yeah? Where's that?
Tommy Doyle: I'm sure you'd like to know, but I'm not going to make it easy. Not for someone like you. A decorated Marine, Six-time recipient of the Meritorious Civilian Service Award.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Yeah, well, I'll tell you what, after I bring you in, it might just be seven.
Tommy Doyle: I know you'll do your best to find me. I've been looking for you a long time, Agent Gibbs. I expect no less. How's the trace coming?
Timothy McGee: It's a voice-over IP, boss. He's bouncing it all over the world.
Tommy Doyle: So determined, so capable... You know, you and I are a lot alike.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Yeah? How's that?
Tommy Doyle: We're both going to hell.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Well, I think you should speak for yourself.
Tommy Doyle: A man like you is not easy to find. And so I have something very special planned for you, Agent Gibbs. I think you're really going to like it.
Timothy McGee: Sorry, boss.
----------
NCIS: Squad room / NCIS : Abby's lab
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Yeah, Abs, what do you got?
Abigael Scuito: It's another video, Gibbs. It just popped up. I'm sending the URL now.
Timothy McGee: Abs, you're sure this is the killer's? These links usually come with bodies.
Abigael Scuito: Yeah. I was monitoring the killer's original CyberVid account and I caught this uploading. Oh, my God. That poster is right outside my lab. He was here. He walked right by my lab.
Timothy McGee: Abby, this isn't a flash code. It's H-dot-two-six-four.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Hey, McGee?
Timothy McGee: Boss, this isn't a video. It's streaming live. He's outside Abby's lab.
----------
NCIS: Abby's lab / Stairs
Abigael Scuito: I can see him, Gibbs. He's right outside my door.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Abby, we're coming, Abs.
Timothy McGee: Lock down the entire building.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Almost there.
Timothy McGee: Meet us on level one! Intruder may be armed.
Abigael Scuito: Just hurry.
----------
NCIS: hallway
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Freeze! Ah, hell, Harry.
Harry: I'm just here to mop up.
Timothy McGee: Camera's in the cart. I'll check on Abby.
----------
NCIS: Abby's lab
Timothy McGee: Abby! It's okay. You're... Again with the Krazy Glue.
Abigael Scuito: Consider yourself lucky. It was either that or hydrochloric acid. Did you catch him?
Timothy McGee: Well, we caught somebody.
----------
Later
Anthony DiNozzo: Jani-cam. That's a new one.
Ziva David: Do you really believe Harry's involved?
Anthony DiNozzo: Gibbs will know soon enough.
Abigael Scuito: I've never been so scared in my whole life. Except when my stalker-ex tried to kill me. And when my insane assistant, Chip, had me at knifepoint. And when McGee's crazy fan put a gun to my head...
Timothy McGee: We-we got it, Abs.
Ziva David: How's Harry?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: He's innocent. He's got an alibi for both murders.
Timothy McGee: Does he have any idea how the camera got in his lunch box?
Abigael Scuito: He was moonlighting last month.
Ziva David: The killer could have planted the camera while Harry was off base.
Anthony DiNozzo: If he planted the camera a month ago, he couldn't have known Gibbs was assigned to the case.
Leon Vance: He was targeting Gibbs from the beginning... You must have really pissed somebody off.
Anthony DiNozzo: It's not a short list... Of people that-that you've angered just because you have rock-solid principles and so it's easy for people to misunderstand that, and misconstrue. You know, people...
Leon Vance: Why don't you quit while you're behind, DiNozzo.
Anthony DiNozzo: I'm trying.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: It's not about me.
Leon Vance: Whatever it was about, we've had a serious breach in security, not to mention a serial killer still out there. I've got a press conference in five. How close are we?
Ziva David: The phone call rules out our only suspect. Sam Loomis was with us when the killer called.
Leon Vance: Keep me updated... Somebody get McGee a new pair of shoes.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Can you trace the signal, Abs?
Abigael Scuito: I don't even know how it was broadcast. But I'll find out... Just I have two questions. This video, it's different than the others. Why?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Okay, what's the other question?
Abigael Scuito: Can I stay with you tonight?
----------
NCIS: Autopsy room
Tommy Doyle: That's why I have something very special planned for you, Agent Gibbs.
Donald Mallard: What do you have planned?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Well, I was hoping you could tell me, Duck.
Donald Mallard: This is a fascinating individual, Jethro.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I can think of another word for him.
Donald Mallard: Yeah, crazy. Well, the precise term is narcissistic personality disorder.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Oh, yeah, well, I'm familiar with that, too.
Donald Mallard: Yes, but where Agent DiNozzo has an excessive need for admiration, he has empathy as well... Something our killer lacks.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: It's all a game to him.
Donald Mallard: Yes, and one he has chosen to play with you.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I noticed... Why?
Donald Mallard: Like all narcissists, he believes himself to be the hero of his own story. And all heroes need a villain. Apparently, for that role he has cast you.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Doesn't care who he kills.
Donald Mallard: Well, he wants his 15 minutes. He wants to be famous... And, sadly, the more he kills.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: More famous he becomes.
Donald Mallard: Yeah... I shudder to think what he has planned for a grand finale. Perhaps some sort of doom... Yes, I knew I'd seen that before.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Duck?
Donald Mallard: The killer's last clues were quite literal... I suspect the same here... That countdown likely refers to the time of the next murder.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Need something more specific than that.
Donald Mallard: Yeah, well, this is the doomsday clock; it's a symbol of how close the human race is to nuclear annihilation. The clock time changes with the geopolitical situation. It's currently set to five minutes to midnight.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Less than three hours from now.
----------
NCIS: Squad room
Anthony DiNozzo: If Ducky's right, we're already out of time.
Timothy McGee: If Ducky's right, then the murder location is in one of the other two clues.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Ziva.
Ziva David: I will send alerts to all churches in the area.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: DiNozzo.
Anthony DiNozzo: Uh, shipyards, harbors, and Navy.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: McGee.
Timothy McGee: Yeah, boss?
Anthony DiNozzo: Hey, Lou, it's DiNozzo.
Timothy McGee: Oh, um, well, I don't know. Tony and Ziva got the easy ones.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Phone call, McGee.
Timothy McGee: Right. Still working on back-tracing the killer's call.
Anthony DiNozzo: Something wrong, boss?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: He's playing with us.
Anthony DiNozzo: He's been playing with us.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Got us doing exactly what he wants us to do.
Anthony DiNozzo: What choice do we have?
----------
NCIS: Director's office
Leon Vance: You want to evacuate the Navy Yard?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: He's coming here.
Leon Vance: How do you know? That could mean anything.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: It means his next victim is going to be in the Navy Yard.
Leon Vance: Gibbs, I don't know if you've noticed, but we run the Navy out of the Navy Yard, and you just want to abandon ship based on a hunch?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: The camera in Harry's cart... Video wasn't for us. It's for him.
Leon Vance: You think that was recon. Killer was scouting the base? NCIS I get, but why evacuate the whole Yard?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You can't kill anybody, Leon, if there's no one here to kill.
Leon Vance: All right, I'll give you points for the unexpected. We were going to run a security lockdown drill next week.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Move it up.
Leon Vance: Not sure if I hope you're right or wrong.
----------
NCIS: Director's office / NCIS: Squad room
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Yeah, McGee.
Timothy McGee: Boss, I was running the killer's call through a spectrum analyzer and I noticed that...
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: McGee.
Timothy McGee: The call... The killer wasn't actually on the line. It was a recording.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Recording? What do you mean a recording? Sounded like a conversation.
Timothy McGee: He must have prerecorded segments. Used your voice to trigger generalized responses. Could have been anywhere. Anybody.
Anthony DiNozzo: Not anybody. Abby's been working on the jani-cam. She was able to get a print off the lens.
----------
NCIS: Observation room
Ziva David: Explains the timing of the killer's call to you.
Timothy McGee: Loomis had it prerecorded in case we got too close.
Ziva David: What better way to look innocent than have the killer call while he was in our presence?
Anthony DiNozzo: Alibi doesn't check out... Boss... Five minutes to spare.
----------
NCIS: Interrogation room room
Sam Loomis: Boy, you guys must really not have any other suspects.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Oh, we got enough.
Sam Loomis: Where'd you get that?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Look familiar?
Sam Loomis: Yeah, I used to shoot time-lapse shots with it. It got stolen from my place about a month ago.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Did you report it?
Sam Loomis: No. I fired my cleaning lady... What? It's hot in here.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Feels fine to me.
----------
NCIS: Observation room
Anthony DiNozzo: Man's got an uncanny ability. Should run his own sweat lodge.
----------
NCIS: Interrogation room room
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Tell me about Billy Cole.
Sam Loomis: Look, talk to Sally Hardesty at Sunshine Retirement. I was with her at the time of the murders.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: She said she doesn't remember.
Sam Loomis: She's old. You know, she never remembers my name. Just, uh... You ask her about Magic Fingers.
----------
NCIS: Observation room
Anthony DiNozzo: Oh, boy. It's all you, probie.
----------
NCIS: Interrogation room room
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I hear you're good on a computer.
Sam Loomis: What, is that a crime now?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Well, depends on what you're doing... This how you reinvented yourself, Sam?
Sam Loomis: You-you got no right to do this to me!
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Sit down.
Sam Loomis: I pay my taxes. I could have... My whole life I've done what I've been told.
----------
NCIS: Observation room
Sam Loomis: I'm a good person!
Ziva David: Something's wrong.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Sit down!
----------
NCIS: Interrogation room room
Sam Loomis: I will not sit down! I didn't do anything wrong! Help me.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Call Base medical.
----------
NCIS: Observation room
Dispatch: EMS is on the way.
Timothy McGee: Tony.
----------
NCIS: Autopsy room
Donald Mallard: The Virgin Mary he's not, Jethro. He was poisoned... Abby found traces of fludrocortisone in a patch he wore on his skin for arthritis. It made his blood pressure skyrocket, which in turn...
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Heart attack.
Donald Mallard: Well, that's putting it mildly.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: His eyes?
Donald Mallard: That's a result of the increase in vascular pressure. No doubt done for dramatic effect. Our killer is nothing, if not a showman.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Nice timing.
Donald Mallard: Yeah, well, the advantage of a transdermal delivery system is that it's remarkably precise... Jethro, it's not every day that you suffer a setback in a case.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Setback?
Donald Mallard: This man died in your custody.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Was murdered in my custody.
Donald Mallard: Exactly, right under your nose. I can imagine how you must feel.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: What's your point?
Donald Mallard: My concern is that the killer knows how you feel. He's pushing you for some reason. You're the arch enemy in this narrative that he's constructed. One cannot help but wonder: towards what is he pushing you?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Yeah, Gibbs.
Timothy McGee: More bad news, boss.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I'll be right up.
Donald Mallard: Oh, no.

NCIS: Squad room
Anthony DiNozzo: Fourth video just appeared, boss.
Timothy McGee: He's using a proxy server in China. I'm running a snooper now, but I wouldn't hold your breath.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Let's see it.
Sam Loomis: I guess you really must not have any other suspects.
Timothy McGee: That's the camera in our interrogation room.
Sam Loomis: It's hot in here... You got no right to do this to me.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Sit down.
Sam Loomis: No, I will not sit down. I did nothing wrong... Help me.
Anthony DiNozzo: Is this supposed to mean you're next, boss?
Timothy McGee: The killer's never shown the victim's face before.
Ziva David: We will not let anything happen to you, Gibbs... If you want, I can...
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: What I want is to know how he got that footage.
Abigael Scuito: He has it because we sent it to him... And by "we", I mean me.
----------
NCIS: Abby's lab
Abigael Scuito: I was trying to figure out how the killer was broadcasting a live stream through Harry's jani-cam, and I uploaded the firmware to try to track it, and I got herpes.
Timothy McGee: She means a computer virus, boss.
Abigael Scuito: Um, yeah, and the camera then uploaded a Trojan horse to the mainframe that hijacked our internal security system. It's been cyber-casting our interrogation room cameras for over 24 hours.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Disable it.
Abigael Scuito: Oh, I did. I'm just... I'm so sorry, Gibbs.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Not your fault, Abby.
Abigael Scuito: It's your face on there, Gibbs. You're the next victim.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I'm not anyone's victim.
Abigael Scuito: You could be dying of poison right now... The killer could have put a bomb in your cell phone, Gibbs... Okay. No bomb, but still... We don't know what this video means.
Timothy McGee: We know that someone's gonna die in less than an hour.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Trojan horse... Can you trace it?
Abigael Scuito: I tried, Gibbs. I couldn't even trace the jani-cam. I mean, the killer is bouncing signals.
Timothy McGee: Did you try both together?
Abigael Scuito: You are a god amongst men.
Timothy McGee: The jani-cam and the Trojan horse are outgoing sources.
Abigael Scuito: Now we have two.
Timothy McGee: If we turn them both on...
Abigael Scuito: We can triangulate back to the killer.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Or you could just stand there looking at me.
Abigael Scuito: Releasing the Trojan horse.
Timothy McGee: Re-initializing the camera.
Abigael Scuito: Carrier signals are broadcasting.
Timothy McGee: Trying to hide behind the Great Firewall of China, but...
Abigael Scuito: We got 'em.
Timothy McGee: Video is being rerouted to a DSL account registered to... Rose Woodhouse.

NCIS: Squad room
Anthony DiNozzo: Local LEOs are at Rose's place. Neighbors say she just left. Hasn't seen the roommate in two days, and boss... There's blood all over his room.
Timothy McGee: No recent credit card activity, but I did find this... Rose registered this trademark two weeks ago.
Ziva David: CyberVid Killer.
Anthony DiNozzo: Smart... Imagine how much money Manson would have made if he owned the name, Helter Skelter.
Timothy McGee: Gets better: her father was an Egyptologist.
Anthony DiNozzo: Oh, well, that explains the savvy with the nose-pick from hell.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Killer's last video.
Timothy McGee: Whatever it means, we've got less than 30 minutes to figure it out.
Ziva David: If it means Gibbs is the victim, then we should just stay right here.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: And if I'm not?
Anthony DiNozzo: Someone else dies.
Timothy McGee: Where is that?
Anthony DiNozzo: Sears Tower. Chicago.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Moscow.
Ziva David: Rio.
Anthony DiNozzo: Death by jet lag?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: The clue is not the city... Clue is the snow.
Timothy McGee: Boss, I am not a god among men, you are. I've got it. Now, my CPU is too small.
Anthony DiNozzo: I'm gonna let that slide.
Timothy McGee: I'm gonna need a little more time to figure it out.
Anthony DiNozzo: Well, it is the CyberVid Killer. If McGee wasn't meant to do the heavy lifting, who was?
----------
NCIS: MTAC
Timothy McGee: This is the only video that's contained flash frames. That is radiographic static, commonly referred to as...
Anthony DiNozzo: Snow.
Timothy McGee: But it just looks like snow. It's actually encrypted data. There's another link embedded in the snow... It's a live video link.
Anthony DiNozzo: There's the roommate. At least he's still alive.
Ziva David: For now.
Timothy McGee: Got our next murder weapon. Shotgun.
Anthony DiNozzo: And location: that was Loomis's place.
Ziva David: We will go. If you are the intended victim, this may just be a way to lure you out.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: It's working.
----------
Alley
Timothy McGee: Less than two minutes.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: McGee, Ziva.
Anthony DiNozzo: Really wish you'd stayed in the car, boss.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: DiNozzo, will you shut up or I'm gonna shoot you.
----------
Sam Loomis' studio
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: NCIS!
Ziva David: Drop your weapon, Rose.
Rose Woodhouse: I wish I could. I'm sorry.
Anthony DiNozzo: We will shoot you.
Tommy Doyle: Shoot her! She's freaking crazy!
Timothy McGee: Drop it.
Rose Woodhouse: Please just leave.
Tommy Doyle: Somebody shoot her! Please, I don't want to die.
Ziva David: You have three seconds, or we will shoot.
Anthony DiNozzo: Uh, boss?
Tommy Doyle: What the hell are you doing?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Put the gun down, Rose.
Rose Woodhouse: He said he'd kill me.
Tommy Doyle: Are you crazy? Shoot her. Come on!
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Only one I'm gonna shoot is you.
Tommy Doyle: It's a dead man's switch. I've got her wired with C-4. So you shoot me, and we all die... Come on, Gibbs, do you really want to die?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Do you? No, you want to be famous. You don't want to die.
Rose Woodhouse: Get this the hell off me!
Ziva David: All right, just hold still.
Tommy Doyle: NCIS. I knew I should have gone with the FBI. It's clich, but, look what you get for trying something different.
Ziva David: Clear.
Rose Woodhouse: He said if I didn't just stand there, he'd kill me. You said we were shooting another music video! I hope you fry!
Timothy McGee: Come on, Rose. Come on, let's go.
Ziva David: He set her up. How did you know? The video camera? Yes, they had one of those at every murder.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: On the victim. Eye was the murder weapon.
Anthony DiNozzo: Total clich, you know. You ripped that off from Seven.
Tommy Doyle: Wrong! At the end of Seven, the cops killed the serial killer, not another victim. It's totally different!.. Doesn't matter... I still win... You? You may be the famous Leroy Jethro Gibbs... But you're... You're nothing but a set piece... Who caught Gacy, huh? Manson? I don't know. But Tommy Doyle? Oh, he's gonna be a household name by the 10:00 news.

NCIS: training room
Guy Ross: Authorities say the CyberVid Killer is in custody. However, citing possible links to terrorism, officials are not releasing his identity, and details of how they arrested him are being kept under wraps...
Leon Vance: Thank you and congratulations. Way to go, Marie.
Guy Ross: Our sources believe we may never know his real name.
Anthony DiNozzo: Yeah, that's got to hurt. All that for a question mark.
Donald Mallard: It's very revealing the lengths that some men will go to thrust themselves into the limelight, while others are content to live quietly... In solitude.
Leon Vance: The next award to be presented is the Meritorious Civilian Service Award for demonstrating unusual initiative and a pattern of excellence... Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs... Agent Gibbs.
