Rhiannon: What was wrong with that?
Aaron: I'm gonna need a real scream.
Rhiannon: That was a scream.

Rhiannon: Yeah.
Aaron: Should have gone with the blonde.

Aaron: Lame... See, now tha twas a real scream... Rhiannon?

NCIS: Squad room
Ziva David: She was not smiling at you,Tony.
Anthony DiNozzo: Ziva, some men can hit a baseball 400 feet, others build rocket ships that sail to the stars. I can spot a woman's smile at 20 yards.
Ziva David: Her name is Hannah, and she's asked me out to lunch twice.
Anthony DiNozzo: You?
Ziva David: Did your rocket ship just take a nose dive?
Anthony DiNozzo: No. It just landed on a different planet.
Timothy McGee: Look, two days ago, you told me my car would be ready yesterday, and the bill was $270. Then yesterday, you told me my car would ready today, and the bill was $400. Now you're telling me my car's gonna be ready tomorrow? Absolutely. Tomorrow. How much?
Anthony DiNozzo: One octave or two?
Ziva David: Two.
Timothy McGee: $600? Okay, I understand, but... It's got to be replaced. Tomorrow? Yes, sir. Okay then. Thank you. My crankshaft is wearing out.
Anthony DiNozzo: There is no question what's going on involves you and a shaft, McSofty.
Timothy McGee: Well, Tony, sometimes it's not always the best policy to be too tough. It can end up costing you more in the long run.
Anthony DiNozzo: I'm guessing that you got more than your fair share of wedgies as a kid.
Timothy McGee: I can be tough when I have to be... What?
Ziva David: Nothing. I mean, you do have your... Trengths.
Anthony DiNozzo: And weaknesses. But, rember that people can be loved as much for their weaknesses as they are for their strengths.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Well, then, DiNozzo,you must be one very well-loved man.
Anthony DiNozzo: Thank you for noticing, boss.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Squid. Long dead. Let's go.
Anthony DiNozzo: Hey, Ziva? Did you accept? Lunch? Hannah?
Timothy McGee: Coming through.
Anthony DiNozzo: Take it easy, McCranky.

Donald Mallard: You never cease to amaze me, Jethro. You find the most dastardly crimes in the most idyllic of settings.
Ziva David: Lieutenant Neal Poletto.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Poletto?
Ziva David: Get anything?
Anthony DiNozzo: Yeah. An offer to be tech advisor on his next film. It's about a psycho, sex-crazed cop.
Timothy McGee: Life and times of Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo?
Donald Mallard: Cuts all around the upper torso. He's been stabbed multiple times. And he's missing a middle finger... It appears to have been sawn off.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: The other hand, too, Duck.
Donald Mallard: Anything else you'd care to tell me about this fellow, Jethro?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Dead 11 years.
Donald Mallard: And?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: And I know who did it.

NCIS: Squad room
Timothy McGee: Celia Roberts.
Anthony DiNozzo: A looker.
Timothy McGee: No, a hooker. Convicted of killing two sailors.
Anthony DiNozzo: By our very own Leroy Jethro Gibbs.
Ziva David: Before our time.
Timothy McGee: Both men had multiple stab wounds. Both men had their middle fingers cut off. Why the middle finger?
Anthony DiNozzo: Maybe she was giving them the finger.
Ziva David: Man-hater.
Anthony DiNozzo: You would know, Ziva.
Timothy McGee: She was suspected in the disappearance and murder of Lieutenant Neal Poletto. But since his body was never found, she was only prosecuted for the other two murders.
Ziva David: She was sentenced to 175 years in the Maryland State Prison for Women.
Anthony DiNozzo: I hear the first hundred years are the hardest.
Timothy McGee: Well, Abby has confirmed that the knife that killed Lieutenant Poletto is the same one that Celia Roberts used on her first two victims.
Anthony DiNozzo: Open and shut.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Well, DiNozzo, it'd be easier for everyone if we just get her to admit it.
Ziva David: I will get a confession.
Anthony DiNozzo: Why you?
Ziva David: Because I am a woman. And women open up to other women.
Anthony DiNozzo: You mean, likeHannah... And Her Sisters. Come on. After 11 years in the joint, all ladies, she might welcome a little change of pace.
Ziva David: You mean a man.
Anthony DiNozzo: A virile man could be just the thing to loosen her lips.
Ziva David: Oh, you mean Gibbs.
Anthony DiNozzo: I mean me. Not that you're not virile. You are, 'cause you're the boss. Who's the boss? You don't... Those... Those don't go in there.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: McGee. Get her signed confession. First thing tomorrow morning. Don't come back without it.
Timothy McGee: You got it, boss... What?
Anthony DiNozzo: It's just, you got to have the stuff, be tough, know when to bluff.
Timothy McGee: So, I have to be a really bad poet?
Anthony DiNozzo: I call my style tough-bluff. It's hyphenated.
Timothy McGee: Really? Blowhard actually seems more appropriate. That is not hyphenated.
Anthony DiNozzo: You're going to convince a woman to confess to a crime?
Timothy McGee: Yeah. So?
Anthony DiNozzo: When's the last time you convinced a woman to do anything, McGee?
Ziva David: Just last week, McGee convinced me to lend him ten dollars.
Anthony DiNozzo: Ten dollars. Murder one. My last ten dollars.
Ziva David: When you asked me, I was determined to say no. But there was something in the way you asked. Before I knew it, I was opening up my wallet.
Timothy McGee: Really?
Ziva David: There's no doubt in my mind you will get that confession, McGee.
Timothy McGee: Thank you, Ziva.
Anthony DiNozzo: He's toast, isn't he?
Ziva David: Oh, yes. Burnt toast.

Timothy McGee: Brenda Carter.
Brenda Carter: Yeah... I have not seen you since, oh, what, graduation night at FLETC?
Timothy McGee: Yeah. I remember it well.
Brenda Carter: Oh, those were your shoes that I...
Timothy McGee: Italian shoes.
Brenda Carter: Jamaican rum.
Timothy McGee: Empty stomach. So, I see you left the federal system.
Brenda Carter: Yeah. You know, better pay, closer to home, so...
Timothy McGee: Well, uh, official visit for me. I'm here to see Celia Roberts.
Brenda Carter: Oh, well, good luck with that. Celia's a real piece of work.
Gordon Lambro: Most of 'em are.
Brenda Carter: So, um, where are you stationed?
Timothy McGee: Navy Yard.
Brenda Carter: Well, I'm here. Obviously.
Timothy McGee: Well, we should, uh, you know, get together and catch up, have a drink sometime.
Brenda Carter: Sounds great. Sounds great. Will you call me? Or I'll call you. You know, whatever works, right? So, okay?
Timothy McGee: Okay.
Brenda Carter: Okay.
Timothy McGee: Okay.

Maryland State Prison for Women: Attorney Room
Timothy McGee: Hello. I'm Special Agent Timothy McGee. Thank you for seeing me.
Celia Roberts: Have a choice?
Timothy McGee: Two photos. Same guy. Lieutenant Neal Poletto.
Celia Roberts: He looks better in this one.
Timothy McGee: Before and after shots. This one is after he was stabbed 23 times and had both his middle fingers cut off.
Celia Roberts: Looks like he's aged a bit, too.
Timothy McGee: About 11 years.
Celia Roberts: Guess that's why you're here.
Timothy McGee: You killed two other men the same way with the same weapon. Yours. It would be nice for the Poletto family to have some closure.
Kayla Vacari: Stop looking at him!
Judy Williams: Why don't you shut up, Vicari?
Gordon Lambro: Settle down now.
Kayla Vacari: You want to go?
Gordon Lambro: Now! Get in! I'm not gonna tell you again...
Timothy McGee: You were convicted in Maryland. Poletto's body was found in Virginia. You know why that's bad for you? Death penalty. Virginia is very big on it. Confess, and this stays a federal case, meaning no conviction until after you've served your current sentence. Meaning never. Otherwise, I hand this to the authorities in Virginia.
Gordon Lambro: Way back. Way back...
Celia Roberts: I don't like needles.
Timothy McGee: Your choice.
Celia Roberts: I don't believe you.
Timothy McGee: What is that?
Celia Roberts: Damn.
Timothy McGee: Everything okay out there?
Angela Lopez: Come on.

NCIS: Squad room
Ziva David: McGee is out, Abby.
Abigael Scuito: Oh, yeah, I know. He's slumming at the prison. We were supposed to have lunch. I'm just returning his computer game.
Ziva David: Uh, frankly, I do not understand the fascination with, uh, electronic games. It shortens attention span, curbs productivity, and it kills brain cells.
Anthony DiNozzo: Enough with the long sentences. Who can follow all that? Take a look at this. This is McGee before he tries to break the hooker from hell. And this is him after she gets into his head.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: How about a picture of you actually working, DiNozzo?
Anthony DiNozzo: Um, I'm working on... On that.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Yeah, Gibbs.Yeah... Maryland Women's Prison. Let's go.
Abigael Scuito: Wait. That's where McGee is. Is everything okay? Everything's not okay... What's happened? Gibbs!
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Abby... I'll call you, all right?

Judy Williams: They just started whaling on me.
Kayla Vacari: They started it.
Sharon Bellows: What do we do?
Angela Lopez: But we finished it.
Sharon Bellows: No, we didn't finish anything.
Timothy McGee: This is bad. They're not organized.
Judy Williams: I just defended myself.
Celia Roberts: What happened?
Angela Lopez: Trimble came in, bleeding like a stuck pig.
Sharon Bellows: Stay put! You stay back with the others.
Celia Roberts: Who did it?
Sharon Bellows: I didn't see anything.
Kayla Vacari: By the time I saw him, he was already on the ground.
Angela Lopez: It could have been anybody.
Sharon Bellows: Somebody must have seen something.
Oliver Newcomb: How are you doing?
Gordon Lambro: I think my arm's busted.
Timothy McGee: What happened?
Oliver Newcomb: One minute, everything's fine. The next, I saw Trimble stumble in bleeding, then he want down.
Gordon Lambro: And they all just cut loose.
Oliver Newcomb: We tried to restore order, but...
Timothy McGee: Anyone see what happened to Trimble?
Judy Williams: You may not care about your family, but I do... We got to get our families out of here.
Sharon Bellows: I say that we give up before it's too late.
Timothy McGee: That's a good idea.
Angela Lopez: Who's he?
Celia Roberts: A cop.
Angela Lopez: All right, they rush us, you are the first to die.
Timothy McGee: I'm not a cop; I'm an NCIS agent.
Angela Lopez: Just as dead.
Sharon Bellows: Look, I got one year left. I just want to do my time, okay?
Angela Lopez: They're gonna blame all of us for killing Trimble. It doesn't matter how much time you got left. We're all gonna suffer.
Celia Roberts: Angela's right. We're gonna have to protect ourselves.

Maryland State Prison for Women: Control Center
Gene Halsey: There are two points of entry and an air duct. Now, will an air duct support a man's weight? Come on, people. We need to know this! Now, get on it.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Who's in charge here?
Gene Halsey: Gene Halsey, warden.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Gibbs, NCIS. We've got an agent here. Where is he?
Gene Halsey: Visitor center. Inmates have control of it.
Ziva David: He is alive?
Gene Halsey: Don't know. The cameras are out.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You plan to retake this by force?
Gene Halsey: If they don't get out of there real soon. Till then, I have this entire prison on lockdown.
Anthony DiNozzo: And the hostages?
Gene Halsey: This prison has a no-hostage policy, meaning every man, woman and child who comes in those gates gives up their right to be rescued. But believe me, I'm gonna do everything I can to minimize casualties... I got men in there, too. Now, I'm kind of busy.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You have much experience in hostage recovery?
Gene Halsey: I have an emergency response plan.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Okay. Have you ever put it into action?
Anthony DiNozzo: Take that as a no.

Maryland State Prison for Women: Visitor center
Timothy McGee: The one on the left... What's she in for?
Gordon Lambro: Angela Lopez. Armed robbery, kidnapping and murder.
Timothy McGee: What about the one next to her?
Gordon Lambro: Sharon Bellows... She killed her boyfriend. Claims he put her in the hospital a few times. She called it self-defense. Judge called it manslaughter... Judy Williams killed her 80-year-old neighbor for her meds. Kayla Vicari. Manufacturing meth.
Kayla Vicari: They want to send out an ear or a finger to show we're serious.
Judy Williams: That's crazy.
Timothy McGee: She's right.
Angela Lopez: Shouldn't be a guard. That will really piss them off... He screams, cut his throat.
Kayla Vicari: I can't watch.
Timothy McGee: Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Angela Lopez: You choose.
Timothy McGee: This is a bad idea.
Angela Lopez: You got a better one?

Maryland State Prison for Women: Hallway
Anthony DiNozzo: Abby... I got a bad feeling about Bozo and his three-ring circus.
Ziva David: Can we go over his head?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: It's his ball.
Gene Halsey: Inmate using a confiscated radio says they want to make some demands. Want to show me they're serious.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Show you?
Gene Halsey: One of them's coming out... This is not your jurisdiction, Agent Gibbs.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: How often do you do this sort of thing?
Gene Halsey: Open up.
----------
Maryland State Prison for Women: Court
Gene Halsey: I do the talking, you got that? Gonna find out who's calling the shots here... They let you go?
Timothy McGee: Not exactly. I'm the negotiator.
Gene Halsey: You're the negotiator?
Timothy McGee: I sort of talked them into it.
Gene Halsey: All right, what's the situation?
Timothy McGee: Actually, I've been told I can only deal directly with my boss, Special Agent Gibbs. They're watching us right now.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Situation, McGee.
Timothy McGee: Guards handcuffed in the southwest corner. Inmates spread all over, armed with batons and shards of glass.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Casualties?
Timothy McGee: There's one dead. A guard, Hayden Trimble. But he wasn't killed in the riot. Looks like it's his death that caused it. Another guard injured, Gordon Lambro.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: What happened?
Timothy McGee: Trimble was stabbed. The guards tried to restore order. Inmates responded.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: What do they want?
Timothy McGee: Assurance that only Trimble's killer will be punished, and amnesty for injuries to the other guards.
Gene Halsey: They are gonna hand over Trimble's killer?
Timothy McGee: Once we find out who did it. That's where I... You... We come in. They want NCIS to figure out who Trimble's killer is. Which brings me to their last condition. No attempts to retake the visitor center... If we agree, they'll release Trimble's body, the injured guard and the visitors. That will leave myself and two other guards as hostages.
----------
Maryland State Prison for Women: Court
Gene Halsey: Get the doors.
Guard: This way. Come on, folks. Come on.
Gene Halsey: Move, move! Through the gate... Keep moving. Move. Get them on the buses.
Guard: Right this way.
Gene Halsey: Move them out. There we go. Quickly!
Guard: Head count. 22 in, 22 out.

Maryland State Prison for Women: Visitor center
Timothy McGee: Okay. For this to work, I'm gonna need everyone's cooperation and trust.
Angela Lopez: Trust a cop... That's easier said than done.
Timothy McGee: Uh, believe me, it's no harder than me trusting a convicted felon... Now, first thing... We have to find a murder weapon, so I am going to have to frisk you.
Angela Lopez: Frisk who?
Timothy McGee: All of you... Who wants to go first? So much for cooperation.
----------
Maryland State Prison for Women: Hallway
Anthony DiNozzo: First murder, then a riot?
Ziva David: And we have to solve the murder.
Anthony DiNozzo: Yeah, but it happened in a prison, which we're not allowed into.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Ducky gets here, I'm going in.
Anthony DiNozzo: If you get the chance.
Gene Halsey: Agent Gibbs.
----------
Maryland State Prison for Women: Control Center
Gene Halsey: Our guys are here. Inmates are spread throughout, which means we got to move when they're grouped together.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: If my team figures this out, everybody walks out of here.
Gene Halsey: As long as this lasts, my prison population feels empowered. One way or the other, this ends at sundown. Means... You have seven hours to end this, or I will.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Trimble have enemies?
Gene Halsey: You could say that. Heroin's been pouring in. Trimble was my lead investigator. We were trying to turn off the spigot. Reason enough right there to try to kill him.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Start with Trimble.

Maryland State Prison for Women: Visitor center
Celia Roberts: Never thought I'd get the chance to do this to you, Mr. Gibbs.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Me, neither, Celia.
Angela Lopez: Don't do anything stupid.
Brenda Carter: Same applies to you, Lopez.
Donald Mallard: I once sewed up the arm of a lion tamer, and he said the worst thing you can do is to let your felines feel cornered, scared, or threatened.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You mean like this, Duck?
Brenda Carter: Nothing happens to him. You hear me?
Angela Lopez: Or what?
Brenda Carter: Or you'll wish you'd been sentenced to death, not life.
Angela Lopez: Oh, okay, you guys mess with this dude, you mess with Brenda... Good to know.
Timothy McGee: From what I can tell, this is where he fell. The body hasn't been moved.
Donald Mallard: Single stab wound to the chest. He bled out. And slowly.
Timothy McGee: Can't find the murder weapon. Given the circumstances, can't secure the crime scene.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Keep looking.
Donald Mallard: He has a head wound. It could have rendered him unconscious.
Timothy McGee: I followed the blood trail out this way... Thanks.

Maryland State Prison for Women: Hallway
Timothy McGee: In here.

Maryland State Prison for Women: Guards' bathroom
Timothy McGee: This is the guards' bathroom, off limits to the prisoners. He was stabbed in here. That's where his head was slammed against the wall.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Seat's down.
Timothy McGee: Guess he wasn't here to use it. Figure he had company.
Angela Lopez: You think, Sherlock?
Celia Roberts: Women's prison... It happens.
Angela Lopez: Shoot, even happens in men's prisons.
Timothy McGee: Look, for this to work, we really need to treat everyone as suspects. So please, just let us do this.
----------
Maryland State Prison for Women: Hallway
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: They're coming in before sundown.
Timothy McGee: Boss, that doesn't give us enough time to...
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: McGee. S.O.P. for inmates to use the head.
Timothy McGee: Guard inside the visitor center let them out here into the corridor where Trimble was keeping watch. Trimble was supposed to notify the other guards if he needs to use the bathroom; he never did. Probably 'cause he was doing something he shouldn't have.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Cost him his life. Cameras?
Timothy McGee: Only in the visitor center.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Blood evidence.
Timothy McGee: Most of the inmates and guards have blood on them; I'm sure some of it's Trimble's, but...
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Doesn't single out anybody.
Timothy McGee: Need to find his killer.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Yeah, in a room full of them.

NCIS: Abby's lab
Abigael Scuito: They haven't hurt McGee, have they?
Ziva David: We have not heard anything.
Anthony DiNozzo: Got something for you from Trimble's apartment, Abby. We need to figure this out before sunset.
Abigael Scuito: Define "before sunset."
Anthony DiNozzo: Before the sun goes down. Ethan Hawke movie with Julie... What was that for?
Abigael Scuito: The sun sets at around 5:02. So does that mean we have until 5:01?
Ziva David: Before sunset.
Abigael Scuito: That could mean now. Not good enough. I can't take this. Every day you guys go out and I never know if you're going to make it back. It's killing me. I can't sleep at night. I'm developing some sort of weird twitch.
Ziva David: Our work is sometimes dangerous, Abby.
Abigael Scuito: Then get a safer job.
Anthony DiNozzo: Then you wouldn't see us at all.
Abigael Scuito: True. Still... Sucks.
Ziva David: Abby.
Abigael Scuito: Fingerprints, hard drive... Bedsheets.
Ziva David: Evidence of extracurricular activities.
Abigael Scuito: McGee's going to be okay, right?
Anthony DiNozzo: You kidding? Stuck in a women's prison. It's every guy's fantasy... Well, maybe not McGee.
----------
Maryland State Prison for Women: Visitor center
Kayla Vicari: Here. What's that?
Sharon Bellows: Check there.
Timothy McGee: Look, can you... Can you please just all just give me some room here? It's very difficult looking for this murder weapon with everyone in my way here, so...
Kayla Vicari: Come on, y'all.
Timothy McGee: Thank you.
Judy Williams: When's the food's coming?
Timothy McGee: Soon.
Judy Williams: Pizza?
Timothy McGee: Yeah, maybe. Hey, you like pizza?
Judy Williams: Yeah... Pepperoni. You?
Timothy McGee: Yeah, pepperoni's good... This sort of thing happen much?
Judy Williams: Never in my 15 years here.
Timothy McGee: You've known Celia since she's been in here?
Judy Williams: Yeah.
Timothy McGee: She ever talk about what she did?
Judy Williams: Just to blame the system.
Timothy McGee: You seem to have taken responsibility for your crimes.
Judy Williams: It's a mixed blessing. First few years here, I was angry at everybody. Blamed the world for my crappy childhood... Then I got into a prison program training seeing-eye dogs... One day I'm training this puppy and it hits me... I killed an innocent person who didn't do me no harm... Now I can't wait till the day I die, so I can find that soul and apologize for the terrible thing I did. Look, I don't know if Celia did the things they say. And if she did, I don't know what it'll take for her to face up to it.

Maryland State Prison for Women: Hallway / NCIS: Abby's lab
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Yeah, Abs?
Abigael Scuito: How's McGee?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Well, he's fine. What do you got?
Abigael Scuito: Define "fine."
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: He needs us to do our job before sundown.
Abigael Scuito: Okay, Ducky found calcium oxalate crystals in the dead guard's kidneys. Well, that's a huge red flag. So I ran a special tox screen and, sure enough, it turned up.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: What?
Abigael Scuito: Ethylene glycol.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Antifreeze.
Abigael Scuito: Yeah, someone was poisoning him, Gibbs. He died from the stab wound, but with the levels of ethylene glycol in Trimble's system, he was a dead man walking anyways.

NCIS: Squad room / Maryland State Prison for Women: Hallway
Anthony DiNozzo: None of the sitors or the injured guard saw Trimble get stabbed, Boss.
Ziva David: The DEA is cross-checking all inmates with links to known drug dealers.
Anthony DiNozzo: I got a feeling that's going to be a long list.
Ziva David: They're checking prison employees, as well.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Security footage.
Anthony DiNozzo: Got it right here, boss.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: And?
Anthony DiNozzo: I'll be like your closed captioning.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: My what?
Anthony DiNozzo: I'll talk. You listen... By my count, six inmates entered the restroom corridor during visiting hours. Then we get Trimble. He enters, obviously hurt. Guard hurries to him. Inmate lookie-loos hover. Push. Shove... Out comes the baton... Then static.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Static?
Anthony DiNozzo: Static. We got the PG version. The Warden Halsey cut.
Ziva David: Maybe he did not want to show how physical his guards got.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Or he has something else to hide. DiNozzo, give McGee the names of all the women who used the head.
Anthony DiNozzo: Done, boss.
Ziva David: I checked Trimble's phone records, Gibbs. One person called him over 150 times last month. It was another prison guard by the name of... Brenda Carter.
Anthony DiNozzo: Five calls a day. I'd give her an eight on the DiNozzo Psycho Chick Meter. Ten being Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction. Look at those eyes, crazy eyes.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I'll send her over.
Ziva David: Got it.
Anthony DiNozzo: Crazy eyes.

NCIS: Conference room
Brenda Carter: I don't know why we couldn't have done this at the prison. This could go down at any time.
Ziva David: We want to stop it from "going down," as you say.
Brenda Carter: Okay, so you need to know about these women, right?
Ziva David: Actually, I'd prefer to know more about Hayden Trimble.
Brenda Carter: Okay.
Ziva David: You knew him well?
Brenda Carter: Yeah, sure. We worked together.
Ziva David: Come on. It was more than just a working relationship, was it not?
Brenda Carter: We dated.
Ziva David: When did he break up with you?
Brenda Carter: We broke up last month. But it was mutual.
Ziva David: And since then, you have called him more than 150 times and he has not called you back even once. Does not sound very mutual to me.
Brenda Carter: On our third date, he said he loved me. I didn't have to say it first.
Ziva David: But you said it last... Men can be jerks. I know.
Brenda Carter: You think that I... No, I was out of the building when he was killed.
Ziva David: Were you? Did you know that someone was poisoning him?
Brenda Carter: Okay, look, I-I might've thought about wringing his neck, but I didn't kill him.
Ziva David: Trimble was investigating drug smuggling into the prison.
Brenda Carter: He was avoiding me the last month. I thought he was seeing another woman. I left him a bunch of nasty messages. Drug investigation?
Ziva David: According to Warden Halsey... What?
Brenda Carter: It's probably nothing. But drug screening is mandatory for all employees.
Ziva David: So?
Brenda Carter: So I'm friends with the warden's assistant. She told me that the warden missed his last mandatory drug screening. And he faked the one before that.

Angela Lopez: Coming down with something. Mind your business.
Timothy McGee: Right now, my business is investigating this crime. And we believe that Trimble's murder could be drug-related... And it looks like you're going through some withdrawal.

Timothy McGee: Shoot me up. Slice me up. It doesn't matter, okay? Because I'm done. I'm done unless you tell me the name of your supplier... Now!
Celia Roberts: Lambro.
Angela Lopez: The guard you let out.

NCIS: Interview room
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Inmates gave you up.
Anthony DiNozzo: Women and secrets make a bad combination.
Gordon Lambro: What secrets?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You're a dealer.
Gordon Lambro: You believe them?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Prison guard as an inmate.
Anthony DiNozzo: I hear they make you prom queen. And every night is prom night. You talk now and we'll make sure you're not put in with the general population.
Gordon Lambro: They make some crazy accusations and you believe them?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I believe this.
Anthony DiNozzo: Found it in your SUV.
Gordon Lambro: Must be a plant.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I got no time for this, Lambro!
Anthony DiNozzo: Now you've made him angry.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Trimble was onto your operation.
Gordon Lambro: No...
Anthony DiNozzo: First you poisoned him.
Gordon Lambro: No.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Then you stabbed him.
Gordon Lambro: No, you've got this so freaking wrong! I was dealing, but I didn't kill him. Trimble wasn't trying to bring down the drug operation. He was the head of it.

NCIS: Squad room
Ziva David: Thank you. DEA says Trimble's stepbrother is a known drug dealer.
Anthony DiNozzo: Could be Trimble's drug source. Supports Lambro's story that Trimble headed the operation.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Doesn't get Lambro off the hook.
Anthony DiNozzo: Well, maybe Lambro wanted to take over the operation.
Ziva David: Maybe he has a different supply source.
Anthony DiNozzo: Where does that leave us?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: With a lot of maybes. Yeah. Gibbs.
Abigael Scuito: Can you come to the lab?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I'll be right there.
----------
Maryland State Prison for Women: Visitor center
Celia Roberts: What are you doing?
Timothy McGee: Tapping into Trimble's e-mail account on the prison network.
Celia Roberts: And they call us criminals... What?
Timothy McGee: You are a criminal, Celia.
Celia Roberts: You don't know me.
----------
NCIS: Abby's lab
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: What do you got, Abby?
Abigael Scuito: Okay, I might have overstepped my bounds here a little bit. I-I know I'm not a field agent.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Abs.
Abigael Scuito: I called the prison and I got Lambro's work schedule.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Okay, because?
Abigael Scuito: Because I wanted to compare Lambro's schedule to when the antifreeze showed up in Trimble's system. I also got the urine from Trimble's last drug test. He was clean for illegal drugs, but I was able to figure out when he ingested the antifreeze. 24 hours before the test, Lambro was at a conference in Pennsylvania for a whole week, so it couldn't have been him. Oh, by the way, if they ask you at the prison, I'm your boss... Wait, Gibbs, there's more. I analyzed Trimble's bedsheets. There is no direct match to anyone at the prison.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Direct match?
Abigael Scuito: Exactly. That's where it gets interesting. The DNA on Trimble's bedsheets belongs to a relative of a current inmate.

NCIS: Squad room
Anthony DiNozzo: Zoe Bellows. Mother is Sharon Bellows. Sentenced to ten years for killing her boyfriend.
Ziva David: She claimed he was abusive and had some medical history to back it up.
Anthony DiNozzo: One year left on her sentence.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: The daughter.
Ziva David: She was not at the visitor center when Trimble died.
Anthony DiNozzo: Sun goes down in 63 minutes, boss.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Bring the girl in. Find me a paper trail.
----------
NCIS: Conference room
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: How you doing?
Zoe Bellows: Okay.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You know this man?
Zoe Bellows: No.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: We found your DNA on his bed.
Zoe Bellows: Where is he?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Dead.
Zoe Bellows: First time he saw me, I was visiting my mom... The way he was looking at me just gave me the creeps. And then he found out where I went to school... And then one day he was waiting for me. He said he would hurt her if I... If I didn't... You know. He said his friends would kill my mom if I told on him. The first time he did it, I was so disgusted, I threw up... Then he started shooting me up... Between my toes.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You tell your mother?
Zoe Bellows: No.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: So you took matters into your own hands?
Zoe Bellows: I just wanted him to stop... And he just wouldn't.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Spiking his drinks with antifreeze?
Zoe Bellows: I killed him.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: No, you didn't.
Zoe Bellows: But you, you said he was dead.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: DiNozzo... The car. Now.
Anthony DiNozzo: On it. Okay.

Maryland State Prison for Women: Visitor center
Timothy McGee: Several of the inmates here have identified the girl in that photo as your daughter. How did you find out that she and Trimble were having a relationship?
Sharon Bellows: You saw that photo. She didn't want to be there.
Timothy McGee: He was e-mailing it around to the other guards.
Sharon Bellows: What?
Timothy McGee: Did one of them show you? Or did Trimble? Sharon, you found out about it and you killed him.
Sharon Bellows: One year... That's all I have left.
Angela Lopez: Had left.
Sharon Bellows: I have two other daughters. They're ten and they're 12. At least I could still be a good mother to them.
Judy Williams: Not anymore, honey.
Sharon Bellows: They're my babies.
Kayla Vacari: They're bringing dinner. On carts.
---------
Maryland State Prison for Women: Control Center
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Call 'em back.
Gene Halsey: It's too late, Agent Gibbs.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I said call 'em back!
---------
Maryland State Prison for Women: Visitor center
Timothy McGee: Sharon, if they come through that door, people are going to get hurt.
Angela Lopez: You're going to get us all killed, Bellows.
Judy Williams: Come on, Sharon.
Sharon Bellows: Please. Please.
Kayla Vacari: They stopped. They're not bringing in the food. I really don't think they got any.
---------
Maryland State Prison for Women: Control Center / Visitor center
Timothy McGee: Yeah.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Zoe Bellows.
Timothy McGee: Already on it, boss.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Two minutes, McGee.
Timothy McGee: Got to go.
---------
Maryland State Prison for Women: Visitor center
Timothy McGee: Where is she?
---------
Timothy McGee: Sharon. Sharon.
Celia Roberts: Tell the warden he can have Trimble's killer.
---------
Maryland State Prison for Women: Court
Anthony DiNozzo: Sometimes this job sucks.
Ziva David: Sharon Bellows was in for killing an abusive boyfriend.
Anthony DiNozzo: And while she's inside, her daughter's being abused. Trimble was scum.
Ziva David: Makes no difference in the eyes of the law.
Anthony DiNozzo: Hence the word "sucks."
Ziva David: Hmm.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Yeah.
Timothy McGee: On my way out.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Okay... My agent's coming out.
Gene Halsey: Stand by... Where is she?
Timothy McGee: Saying good-bye.
Anthony DiNozzo: You okay, McGee?
Timothy McGee: Yeah.
Ziva David: Did any of them hurt you, McGee? I will kick their ass.
Timothy McGee: I'm fine, Ziva.
Guard: She's coming out.
Gene Halsey: Door's opening.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: McGee.
Timothy McGee: That's not who I was expecting to see, boss.
Celia Roberts: That's your murder weapon... I killed Trimble... They're ready to give up.
Gene Halsey: Move in.
Guard: Let's go. Move. Go.
Celia Roberts: Don't hurt them... Trimble was raping Sharon Bellows' daughter... And smuggling drugs.
Gene Halsey: Was Sharon in on it?
Celia Roberts: No, all my own work. Sharon didn't want a part of it. Just wants to get out and be a mom again... That sailor you were asking me about. Lieutenant Poletto. I killed him, too... Sorry I did.
Timothy McGee: That a confession?
Celia Roberts: I'll write it all down for you.
---------
NCIS: Squad room
Ziva David: Do any of us really believe that Celia killed Trimble?
Timothy McGee: I don't think anyone is going to lose any sleep over it.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You write it up, Tim.
Abigael Scuito: McGee, you're home.
Timothy McGee: Good to see you, too, Abs.
Ziva David: We had total confidence in you, McGee.
Timothy McGee: Obviously.
Anthony DiNozzo: Well, maybe just a moment of doubt.
Timothy McGee: McGee... You told me my car would be ready today.
Anthony DiNozzo: One octave or two?
Timothy McGee: Listen up because this is what you're going to do. You're going to take the first estimate and you're going to reduce it by ten percent. Then, you're going to find my part, install the part, and have my car parked out front and ready for me when I walk out of this building in 32 minutes.
Anthony DiNozzo: Who would guess that McGee would grow a pair in a women's prison?
Timothy McGee: I put away killers for a living. That's what I do. Now, you do exactly as I told you and we won't have any problems. Understood? Good. Clock's ticking.
Abigael Scuito: Wow, McGee. Your time in the Big House really changed you... I like it.
