"In fact, let me assure you, Director, if Sergei is behind this, I was his target." "Not you." "Not Agent Gibbs." "Me." "I cannot believe I am forced to defend myself once again for the actions of a criminal." "A Russian criminal, Counselor, with whom you once had a working relationship." "Once, Director."

"You know that dinner he and Gibbs ended up having last week?" "The one that you and Tony ditched." "We did not ditch." "We were working." "But it did leave them to be BFFs." "More than any of us realized." "Apparently, Gibbs asked Jake to share Intel." "Everything NSA has on Russian-Palestinian relations." "Sergei Mishnev, Anton Pavlenko..." "He didn't say anything to us about it." "Because he didn't want us or anyone knowing." "But how could Jake not tell me?" "Well, that's a marriage thing, but it sounds like he just did." "Only because Gibbs called early this morning and told Jake to send us everything he had and that we would know what to do with it." "Oh." "Could that be part of a plan?" "Well, the e-mail just came through." "It's a huge file." "Let's go." "I dumped it." "What?" "The bourbon-- it's gone." "What are you, my mother?" "What are you trying to prove?"

"Embarrassing yourself?" "Or-or maybe you mean embarrassing the badge." "You've done a good job at both." "Oh..." "That all you got, Alice?" "Yah!" "Do you feel better?" "We should be in D.C. looking for Sergei." "Not in this condition." "Geez, forget about Sergei." "What's really bothering you?" "Don't Freud me, Gibbs." "You're not qualified." "You know what I'm asking." "Back off." "You blame me." "Jethro..." "It's okay, Tobias." "I blame me." "I'm the one who got her killed." "If Diane wasn't on that rooftop, she would be alive." "And you wouldn't be walking around pretending like I wasn't the one who put her there." "So it's all about you." "Yeah." "It is all about me." "And it's about you, and it's about Diane, and it's about the drinking, and it's about all of it." "No, my friend." "It's just me." "I killed her." "No one to blame but myself." "And now I really need a drink." "That NSA Intel give us anything?" "Oh, we are just getting started, Director, and there is a whole lot to comb through." "Stuff in here about the Soviets in Afghanistan, the mujahideen..." "Wait a second." "Got something about Sergei and the Russian Counselor Pavlenko." "Our "friend" Anton." "What is it?" "They go way back." "All the way to college." "They competed at Saint Petersburg University in the biathlon." "Isn't that the one where they cross-country ski" " and shoot rifles?" " Yeah." "As random Olympic sports go, it's sort of the equivalent of bullfighting on a trampoline." "That explains a lot." "Go on." "Well, they were friendly rivals for a while, contending for the Soviet Olympic team." "When neither of them made the cut," "Pavlenko went to law school and Sergei discovered the Afghan heroin trade." "Explains even more." "Like his soft spot for an old college buddy gone bad." "Making Pavlenko less of a cold, duplicitous creep, and more of a sentimental, duplicitous creep." "Sergei..." "This is America." "Speak English." "We are quite alone, I assure you." "Yeah?" "The last time you assured me," "I lost good men in the Kola Peninsula." "It was no assurance." "It was a warning." "To stay away from NCIS." "You chose to ignore it, and where are you now?" "Setting off hand grenades and hiding in alleys?" "It's not how you fall, Anton." "It's how you rise." "Remember that one?" "Which is why I called you." "To help you rise, Sergei." "With a proposal from the Russian government." "The government that wants me dead." "I convinced them to give you asylum." "Complete immunity, on one condition." "This should be good." "Kill Gibbs." "Your vendetta has dragged on long enough." "We need it to end." "And I have your blessing now?" "Why now?" "Why the sudden change of heart?" "You owe Gibbs your life." "I know you believe that, like I once did, but..." "That what?" "What?" "Tell me." "Convince me." "Nelly Benin." "The scientist." "She's alive." "Gibbs killing her to save my life was a ruse." "An elaborate sleight of hand to help her defect." "And you know we don't like defectors." "And I don't like being played for a fool." "Is there a timetable?" "Now." "Today." "My people know exactly where he is." "I can have you there in a matter of hours." "This is insane." "I'm sure I saw cans of tuna in those grocery bags." "You never fished as a kid?" "In the summer, sure." "Finger Lakes." "I loved it." "I should get back to it." "But there's a lot I don't do enough of anymore." "Get outdoors, work with my hands..." "Whoa, look at this." "Yeah." "Reel her in." "Steady." "Yeah, I got it." "Beauty!" "Look at that." "It's big enough for two." "I'm not sharing." "Let's get you one." "Am I reading this right?" "Sergei is originally from Israel?" "Born in 1965." "Father, Dimitri, was a Russian officer stationed there." "Nothing here about his mother." "Wait a second, I got something on her." "This report says his mother was a doctor, a Saudi national with Palestinian roots." "Apparently, the father took Sergei back to Russia when he was ten, leaving his mother behind." "Birth of some issues right there." "What?" "Am I missing something?" "You think that's what's driving him?" "No wonder the guy's pissed off." "Uh..." "Whoa, whoa, whoa." "Details." "Now." "Your predecessor at that desk," "Ziva David, had a half-brother." "Ari Haswari." "Same father." "I know the story." "Ari's mother was also a doctor with Palestinian roots." "So it's quite possible that Sergei and Ari were..." "Half-brothers." "Which would explain the depth of his hatred for Gibbs." " Should we call him?" " Well, I don't know what he'd do with that information at the cabin, other than punch out a grizzly bear." "It does open up a whole new world of possible allies for Sergei." "McGee." "Okay, which one of you wants to be Gibbs Gibbs Gibbs Gibbs Gibbs?" "Be right there, Abbs." "I mean, it wasn't a bad little table." "I mean, Diane would always stick a matchbook under one leg to remind me that I'd measured wrong, but she never got rid of it." "Probably just to torture me, I guess." "She liked that you built it." "Well, she was always a pushover for that manly man stuff." "God knows it worked for you." "I don't know about that." "You're the one she kept remarrying, not me." "Right?" "What the hell are we doing here?" "One fish is enough." "Where's your team with those updates?" "26 separate pieces of grenade fragments, and there's not a single fingerprint on any of them." "Not even a partial." "So what's the urgency, Miss Sciuto?" "The urgency is that this type of grenade doesn't go off by itself." "I mean, you have to turn the handle and throw it, and then boom." "But the way this one exploded required some type of detonator." "Which we never found." "But you did find it." "Or at least a piece of it." "It's this, right here." "Looks like a blob of plastic." "That's because it's a blob of plastic." "But before it melted, it was a highly sensitive, paper-thin plastic sheet that vibrates at certain sound frequencies, triggering whatever device it's attached to." "The A/V guy." "Frankie Boulos." "He said that the grenade exploded while he was doing a sound check." "Could his voice have set it off?" "It would depend on his voice." "I mean, it's more sensitive with higher-pitched frequencies." "I mean, unless the device was super close to the sound equipment." "Or if it was planted inside the sound equipment?" "Oh, yeah." "Now, this is pretty great." "What?" "Oh, yeah." "Come on, man." "Gotta eat." "Later, maybe." "Not that hungry." "Are you gonna make me ask you again?" "You mentioned before about Diane and me getting remarried." "In the end, she wasn't really so sure." "Natural to get cold feet." "No, it wasn't that." "We were arguing one night about something stupid." "I don't even remember what." "And in a fit of anger, I told her that our being together, our rekindled romance, was a big mistake." "And I stormed out." "Next day, she called." "I was in a classified briefing, so she left a voice mail." "That's why I hope" "I haven't lost my phone." "It's the only way I can still hear her voice." "I was gonna give it back to you, eventually, anyway." "Hey, baby, it's me." "Um, look, can we just forget last night?" "Between Jethro's wife number two in town and..." "I don't know, let's hit rewind or delete or whatever." "I don't think we're a mistake at all, Tobias, and I pray you don't, either." "I know we can work through the petty stuff." "Jethro just texted me to meet him, but call me back as soon as you can, okay?" "I love you, Tobias." "Call me." "Every word." "I agreed with every word she said, but instead of calling her right back," "I chose to play it small." "Petty." "Serves her right." "And then she was gone." "Died thinking it might be over between us." "Not truly knowing how much I loved her." "No, she knew." ""We're making a big mistake."" "Those were the last words she heard me say." "And for that, I can never forgive myself." "Could you?" "If I had a daughter, yeah." "That's her daughter, Tobias." "You want Diane to know how much you love her?" "That's the only chance you got left." "Oh." "Hey." "Hey." "Is everything all right?" "Something's come up since our interview this morning." "We want to show you a photo." "Okay." "Before the bomb went off yesterday, do you recall seeing this man?" "Uh, I don't know." "He looks kind of familiar." "Kind of?" "Mm-hmm." "What is this?" "My son needs his rest." "How many times are you going to disturb him?" "Mr. Boulos, I'm sorry." "We... we have a few more questions to ask." "What did you tell them?" "Not as much as you're about to tell us." "Hang on." "What's that?" "The last part." "You're breaking up." "Wait, wait, wait, wait." "Wait, wait." "Say it again." "Can you hear me?" "DiNozzo!" "DiNozzo?" "What's going on?" "Ah... they got a suspect, but..." "I lost him." "I got cut off." "A suspect?" "Not Sergei?" "No, somebody else, but there's a connection." "They're bringing him in for questioning." "Check your cell." "Same here-- no bars." "But who cares?" "Let's go!" "Go?" "Yes." "If Sergei is involved, you and I should do the questioning." "But it's not Sergei;" "it's somebody else, and we're not done here yet." "What?" "Oh, yes, we are." "I'm done." "You think so?" "I know so." "I was just sitting here, feeling not lousy for the first time in I don't know when." "And I appreciate it, Gibbs." "Little wake-up call to my liver." "Getting to say things out loud that I never thought I'd say." "I may not be whistling rainbows just yet, but I got the message." "One night is enough." "You're right." "I need to see my little girl." "Not yet." "What do I need here, a safe word?" "What's going on?" "There's something else here." "What are you not telling me?" "Sergei is no friend." "We played together as boys in Palestine and reconnected as young men in Kabul." "Reconnected as he was making his name in the heroin trade?" "Which I wanted no part of." "I-I came to this country to pursue the American dream." "I've been doing just that for years, until Sergei walked into my shop last week." "Had to be a surprise." "Not a happy one." "He knew we had been contracted by the Navy and insisted I help him deliver a package." "A package?" "His threat to my family was clear." "I could not say no." "He placed it inside a speaker and assured me my son would be safe." "How'd your son feel about it?" "I could not tell him." "And my deceit nearly cost his life." "Someone else wasn't so Luc." "Okay." "Where do we find him?" "I wish I knew." "When I saw him today, I wanted to kill him myself." "He saw Sergei?" "You saw him today?" "He had the nerve to call, pretending to be concerned for my son, then demanding a device." "What kind of device?" "I keep only one in stock for the proper authorities to use." "It's a transmitter that blocks cell-tower reception." "A cell-phone jammer." "It's portable, long-range, very expensive." "And he just took it." "Come on, Gibbs, pick up." "Sergei." "Not Gibbs... but Special Agent Fornell, is it?" "We've yet to be formally introduced." "I know you... you murdering son of a bitch." "Yes." "My apologies." "I meant only to hurt Gibbs." "Never realizing how much Miss Sterling got around." "Where is he?" "Like I'd ever tell you." "I took the mother of your child." "Do you think I'd hesitate to make that little girl an orphan altogether?" "Suit yourself." "We're back in the Russian forest?" "Out to rewrite history, Agent Gibbs?" "Turn back the clock?" "If only that were possible." "Where is Gibbs?" "This is between..." "me and him, and no one else." "This is between you and me now, Sergei." "Perhaps you don't know, Agent Fornell, what Gibbs took from me." "Oh, I know all about your family tree." "But I have a family, too." "This is for Diane." "And this?" "What is this?" "What is this?" "What?" "Well, it seems to me that you have some options." "You could drop that sidearm, raise your arms and surrender..." "Not exactly my style." "No." "Or you could run, make us hunt you down."
