"So,it's called "Shroomsville"" "'cause some of the guys think these reeds look like little mushrooms." "Or they were on mushrooms." "Not supposed to light fires here." "Against base rules." "Let's go,kids." "Let's go home." " Clear out." " Grab the boom box." "You too,miss." "Let's go!" "Last one out has to douse the fire." "NCIS Season 03 Episode 09" "¡¶ Frame-up ¡·" "Ooh!" "Yeah,baby!" "Oh,come on..." "Come on,come on... oh!" "Yikes!" "I'm trying to concentrate." "That makes two of us,then, doesn't it,Ziva?" "Is it work-related?" "Course it's work-related,Ziva." "A little privacy here,Probie." "I give it a four." "Are you kidding?" "Four?" "!" "Out of five?" "I think that's good." "Isn't it?" "Out of five." "How 'bout this one?" "Come on..." " I will not get involved any further." " Come on..." "Gibbs seems to always be around the corner..." " Give it a little something." " No..." "No..." " Come on." " No..." "No..." "What do you think?" "Rate it." "Fine." "A two." "A two?" "!" "A two?" "!" "What's a two,DiNozzo?" "I was explaining the rules to Ziva,boss." "And number two is what?" "Yeah,I'm always a little fuzzy on two..." "Grab your gear." "We're going to Quantico." "Two?" "I took three points off for excessive hair." "I don't have..." "That's a five." "If you shave." "Mm... shave..." "Marines run tactics through these woods every day,sir." "What time yesterday?" "19:00." "Ducky,where's Jimmy?" "Having a root canal." "Allow me." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Oh,watch your step." "Thank you" "You're welcome." "No,let me give you a hand." "No,no,no" " It's lovely that chivalry is not dead,Doctor." "But in the Army,I swam three miles across the Red Sea after scaling rough cliffs without safety lines." "I believe I can manage." "How refreshing." "An independent woman." "They were under this bush here, until I,uh..." "moved one to here." "The teenagers?" "Said they never noticed the legs." "Tony-- shoot.Shooting." "Ziva,bag and tag." " McGee,samples." " Got it." "Well,I'm afraid a liver temp is out of the question." "Talk to me,Duck." "It's very strange." "The marbling on the skin indicates advanced decomposition." "But the complete lack of insect activity on the moist area of the open thigh indicates a cessation of decay." "Any idea how long?" "Well,the muscles have gone through all three stages or rigor mortis,so that gives us at least 48 hours." "But,Jethro,the leg is in pristine condition, apparently untouched by air, water,soil or insect." "Frozen?" "No ice crystals." "Basement." "If that's the case,we are dealing with a dark soul, one who kills,cuts and keeps." "That's trash." "I think I know what I'm doing by now." "Well,MREs and paint pellets say training area to me." "No one has ever been killed during training?" "You know,my forensic instructor back at FLETC once planted a pregnancy test at a crime scene to test us." "That's nice,Probie, but in my years as an investigator," "I've learned that trash indigenous to an area is not worth collecting." "What if,because I did not bag and tag this trash,I happened to miss this-- a finger of a rubber glove." "I didn't say don't look under indigenous stuff." "I think we're almost done here,Gibbs." "No,I don't think so." "I want every paper, projectile,stomped-on leaf, within a ten-foot radius of both legs." "I'll bet Tony made some unseemly comment about these legs,didn't he?" "Why would he do that,Mr. Palmer?" "I just mean,uh, knowing Tony,um... they're fairly shapely legs,Doctor." "Yes,nobody had the bad taste to verbalize such a thought, until now." "Now that you come to mention it, they do look remarkably similar to Betty Grable's." "Uh,Betty...?" "One of the all-time pin-up gals of the '40s." "Yeah,great gams." "Gams?" "Aren't you a little young to remember Betty Grable,Jethro?" "My dad had her painted on the nose of his P-51,Duck." " Uh,P-51...?" " Up to Abby." " Quick as you can." " Yes,Doctor." "What do we know about our Jane Doe?" "She was young." "Look at the femur here." "One of the last bones in the body to develop fully." "In the female,growth is complete around age 25." "I'd say our victim was between 19 and 21." "I.D." "Without a toe print database," "I'm afraid we'll just have to rely on good old DNA." "What about the splotch on her calf,Doc?" "Blood." "I'd say the assailant's." "It's on its way up to Abby's mass spectrometer." "Couldn't it be hers?" "It could be, but she was dead long before she was dissected." "Blood no longer pulsed through her veins when what I would guess was a surgical saw severed her thighs from her torso." "Now,see how my glove sticks here?" "Also headed up to the mass spectrometer." "Yes,but take a look at this." "Skin's been removed." "Yes." "A meticulously cut circle." "A strange keepsake." "Actually,I think it was the killer trying to remove his marks." "Like all sex killers after Bundy." "Yes,after Theodore Bundy was identified in court by his crooked lower teeth, sadistic biters have been forced to excise their evidence." "You know,I think I might be able to get an impression of teeth from the underlying damaged tissue." "You could get me a bite mark?" "I could try." "Oh." "I have some samples for Abby." "Well,that's convenient, because I'm Abby's assistant." "Well,just wanted to say hi." "I haven't seen her in a while." "She's... really busy right now." "It'll only take a minute." "You haven't been an assistant for very long,have you?" "Longer than you." "We'll see about that." "That doesn't make any sense,Chip." "It's Charles." "Charles." "It's an evidence Showcase Showdown here,Chip." "What do you prefer,Possible Prints," "Sticky Stuff or Name That Blood?" "Um,well,I aced serology;" "I was a dilettante at fingerprint identification,so..." "Name the sticky stuff for a hundred,Chip." "For a Caucasian female,a factor of 2.90 is multiplied by the tibia length." "'Kay,autopsy report says tibia is 38.34 centimeters." "What're you doing?" "We are calculating our Jane Doe's probable height and weight." "Why don't you ask me?" "Tony,these are complex equations we're dealing with." "Whatever." "She was,what, five eight, so she's,like,125,126 pounds." "'Kay,111.186 for adipose." "Density of musculature?" " Add 61.53." " 172.72 centimeters for height." "Ducky estimates 57.08 kilograms in weight." "Converting to imperial." "And we' re done." "She was five foot eight." " 125 and a half pounds." " Hold on a second." "It doesn't make any sense." "You're grumbling." "Yeah,well,I know-- I can't read Ziva's writing." "It looks perfectly clear to me." "You've got to loosen up,Chip." "Evidence is fun." "Fun?" "You know fun." "Fun,Chip!" "You're a tough case,Chip." "Yeah,I know." "Gibbs!" "All this evidence and a CAFF-POW!" "Is it my birthday?" "Pretend it's mine." "Okay.Here's what I have for you." "The blood on the calf is different from the victim's." "I sent both sent off for processing, but here's your real gift." "I found a smudge print on the tip of a glove finger and clarified it into a personal print.Happy birthday." "Get a match?" "It's running through AFIS now." "I must have ripped a glove at the scene,boss." "Like I was saying,I must have ripped a glove at the crime scene sometime before yesterday." "When was the last time you worked a crime scene at Quantico?" "Napalitano case,boss." "The computer only found three points from your fingerprint to the sample." "Most prosecutors want 11." "Well,technically,Abby the minimum to go to court is one." "I'm just saying,you know, people have been convicted on less." "Well,that's great,Chipper.Team player." "I'm going to redo this by hand." "You set this up,didn't you?" "I would never." "Okay,maybe I would,but..." "I didn't." "It matches Tony." "Put a rush on those blood samples." "I did,but it's a 16 hour turnaround." "Make it 12." "When's the last time you were at the dentist?" "Hold still." "This is far faster and more accurate then X-rays." "You're not known for your bedside manner, are you there,Duck?" "You're just upset that I didn't have peppermint." "McGee." "Here's..." "Tony." "The program uses laser scans of 3-D objects to create 3-D images for comparison." "Computer-Generated Hollow Volume Overlay." "Measures inter-tooth spacing, dental arch,and tooth thickness." "All right,enough of the geek speak." "Here's Ducky's muscle tissue scan." "A little 3-D magic for clarity.... and I give you the killer's incisors." "Next step." "And don't worry,Tony-- the chances of even one of your teeth matching are like 100,000 to one." "Do it,Abby." "Jethro,I know DiNozzo didn't do this." "But I also know that it would be political suicide if we got caught investigating one of our own agents." "Appearances matter,Jethro." "In this world, sometimes more than facts." "It could ruin the agency." "Look at Robert Novak and the CIA." "You have a responsibility to your man,I know that." "But I have a responsibility to the entire agency." " Jen..." " I'm not forgetting the time" "I stepped in it and you covered my ass until I could get out of it, but that was alone, undercover and in the field." "Half of NCIS already knows about this." "I know what you have to do,Jethro." "And I won't stop you." "But officially," "I am suspending you from investigating this further and I am turning it over to the FBI." "I know." "One request." "I'll see that Fornell runs the investigation." "I always could read your mind." "Not always,Jen." "Still waiting on Jane Doe's DNA." "Corporal at Quantico said there were no missing female dependents or U.A. Marines." "Try the base hospital." "I checked missing persons for Maryland,Virginia and DC." "There were few similar descriptions." "Their DNA is headed over now." "David Brant." "Gibbs.I heard you were quitting." "I like to refer to it as a lateral move into the recreational sector,Jethro." "I wish you luck with that." "Lateral move into the recreational sector?" "Yeah,that mostly means fishing and hitting a golf ball." " DiNozzo." " Yeah,boss." " What are you doing?" " Somebody's setting me up." "Two surgically removed legs dumped into a training area." "Do you think?" "Yeah." "I was trying to think of arrestee's with grudges." "Wouldn't they all have grudges?" "You see my dilemma." "Mike Macaluso?" "It's a mafia boss DiNozzo busted in Baltimore." "They get a little touchy when they think of you as family and you turn out to be a cop." "What about that forensics dweeb that you got fired." "I didn't arrest him,Abby." "Yeah,but you really,really, really pissed him off." "Forensic tech set a killer free when he contaminated some blood samples." "Tony reported him." "Good old George Stewart." "Maybe you should expand the list." "Just to include people that just hate you." "Hate me?" "Nobody hates me." "Paula Cassidy." "Don't go there." "People like me." "I'm a nice guy." "What about the woman that posted your picture on the Herpes Alert Web site?" "Lieutenant Pam Kim." "She so wentFatal Attraction on you." "Boiled the bunny." "Oh,don't forget Mrs. Dean." "Another girlfriend?" "No,she threatened to cut off his... when Tony put her husband away for murdering his first wife." "Speaking about wives-- what about your ex-girlfriend,Monica?" "I always break up with them when I find out they're married,Ziva." "Okay,all right,thank you all, but I think that's enough." "The personnel in the evidence garage." "What about them?" "They hate you." "She's right.You never wait your turn to check in evidence." "And women don't appreciate being called..." ""baggie bunnies."" " They're right." " DiNozzo, eight years, three different forces." "That's a lot of names and people to remember,boss." "Ziva,take the women." "McGee,you take the men." "I'll pull case files of the ones DiNozzo put away who aren't on the list." "Wait a minute, you never do anything." "'Cause you're such a good delegator." "Oh,this is not good." "Gibbs." "DiNozzo." "This is Special Agent Sacks." "He's being framed." "I believe you." "I've been there myself,Jethro." "I'll take care of him." "I know, but I want to be kept in the loop." "Well,now,I'm hurt." "You saying you don't trust me?" "Whoever set this up,Tobias,is a pro." "If this were to goto court right now," "DiNozzo would not stand a chance." "Well,I got to take him into custody for questioning." "Or,I guess... we could question him here." "Tony," "Fornell's going to question you." "You mean interrogate me." "Question." "Draw it out." "After we talk to Agent DiNozzo, we'll need to requisition any evidence involved in the case." "We covered on evidence?" "Just need a few hours to copy the data from Tony's hard drive,cell phone..." " I'll make duplicates of all my..." " Have Ducky do the same." " What can I do?" " Help-- help Abby,help McGee,help Ducky." "Where were you Tuesday night between 0900 and 0300 the next morning?" "Would that be Zulu time?" "Just run through your night." "Okay." "out loud." "Right." "Worked till 7:00, went for a run, drove home." "Spent the night alone,which," "I know,is unusual,but... it was a school night and I wanted to watchMagnum." "What was it about?" "The old checking- the-plot ploy." "You're good,Agent Sacks." "Very good." "It was my favoriteMagnum-- it's the one where,uh,he finds himself adrift at sea after a boating accident and vividly relives his father's death during the Korean War." "I'm gonna go out on a limb here." "You think you were framed." "Now we're getting somewhere." "And who do you think it was who framed you?" "Well... any one of a hundred people,maybe." "I have a list,if you're interested." "Do you realize the kind of trouble you're in here,DiNozzo?" "Oh,believe me,I do." "Do you realize that you have an enormous clump of something green between your teeth?" "It's right there." "What is it about women?" "Is it the way they smell, or their beguiling smiles?" "The whispers,the secrets..." "The way they tip-toe around in those little,ridiculous shoes." "And the way they fit their tiny little bodies into those tiny little outfits." "You're wasting my time." "Take it easy.This guy is implicated in a homicide and he's making jokes." "You've never worked with NCIS before,have you,Agent Sacks?" "Federal Agents suspected of crimes don't get special treatment in my book." "It's getting late." "We should collect the evidence." "We have to arrest him,Fornell." "Bite marks don't lie, and this guy can't stop." "I'll think about it." "(Ç°Ãæ"¹ÓÐ)U.S. Attorney's gonna see this as a heinous crime,Jethro." "It is a heinous crime,Fornell." "Tony didn't do it." "Without an alibi." "I'd be remiss if we don't detain him." "People are gonna think we're orchestrating a cover-up." "Finally." "How'd I do?" " Fine." " Fine?" "I thought I was Oscar material." "Fornell's not gonna book you." "But he is gonna take you into custody until we figure out a few things." "You all right?" "I must have screwed up,Gibbs." "You didn't screw up,Abs." "But now I have all this evidence." "Forensics." "The thing that I love and I believe in, and it says Tony's a murderer." " Tony's not a murderer." " I know he isn't." "But something's gotta give." "I mean, either the forensics are wrong." "It's bad forensics." "Or..." "We have to save him,Gibbs." "We will." "Because if this goes to court, with his fingerprint and his bite mark on the leg," "Tony's gonna go to prison for the rest of his life." "And I'll be the one that put him there." "I smelled you coming,boss." "Pepperoni,sausage, extra cheese,right?" "My favorite." "Thanks." "I'll save that for later." "You know,I've been thinking." "I'm a federal prosecutor's dream." "You do tend to date a lot, don't you,Mr. DiNozzo?" "Yeah,I do tend to date a lot, but where does it say that dating,you know, a new girl every week is a crime?" "No,it's not." "But it does speak to your deep-seated psychological problems and" " commitment issues." " Really?" "So,you're saying my intimacy issues stem from my mother, who dressed me as a sailor until I was ten years old?" "Maybe." "Why,I guess it might explain why you objectify women and treat them as sexual objects, why you're being so forthright and insightful,Mr. DiNozzo." "Why did you sink your teeth into the victim's leg?" "Because I'm angry and I'm immature." "And I like control!" "You have no alibi." "Alibi?" "How can I have an alibi when the murder doesn't even have a time or a date?" "That's interesting." "What about means?" "Latex gloves?" "Scalpel?" "You could have gotten these things from... work." "No?" "Right." "Off course." "Yes,I ripped a glove at the scene." "It seems a little sloppy for a federal agent who investigates crime scenes, but you know those are the breaks when you're a homicidal maniac dumping butchered woman's remains out in the woods in the middle of the night!" "Right?" "I'm not getting out of this one,am I,boss?" "Thank you,boss." "Mike Macaluso,still in jail." "My sources say his family is very happy about it." "How is it you've been in this country only a couple months,you already have sources?" "Who says my sources are from this country,McGee?" " Is this Agent Timothy McGee?" " Yes." "Hi." "He was killed in prison." " Killed in prison?" " Yes." " I'm very sorry for your loss." " Can we ship the body?" "No,you'll have to take that up with ICE." "Thanks.Dead." "Where are we?" "Head of my suspects list:" "George Stewart." "The forensic tech Tony got fired from Baltimore PD." "Lost everything when Tony accused him of contaminating blood samples in '02." "Define "everything."" "Wife,house,kids." "Fought the firing in court and won,but by then no one would hire him.He disappeared two years ago." "How did he win?" "Don't know.George Stewart v.Baltimore PD was sealed." " Un-disappear him." " Right." "Lieutenant Pam Kim." "Surgical nurse." "Fully capable of slicing off a woman's legs." "Met Tony on the Jeremy Davidson serial rapist case." "At Quantico." "She's the one that egged Tony's car." " Really?" " Where's she now?" "Virginia." "Returned two weeks ago from a tour in Iraq." "She's on her honeymoon at the Greenbrier." " Who's she with?" " Scott Sparks." "Boss,that's the guy she was engaged to when she met Tony!" " Get her in here." " On it." "Uh,boss..." "Well,I was thinking,she's... she's on her honeymoon." "Yeah?" "Ever heard of coitus interruptus, Special Agent Gibbs?" "Nope." " Ever been on a honeymoon?" " Yep." " Then you know how I feel." " You found them...." "Flagrante delicto." "That's...." "Roman slang for what Tony calls badda-bing badda-boom." "Being dragged into NCIS for interrogation isn't exactly the best way to start a marriage." "Is your husband the same guy you dumped for Tony DiNozzo last year?" "Look,I had a fling with Tony, and I regret every last minute of it." "That why you put him on a herpes website?" "I got a little emotional." "A little emotional was egging his car." "Putting him on a herpes website was...." "Bitchy." "I know." "What does a woman accomplish by cracking eggs on a man's car?" "A lot of guys really care about their cars." "It's kind of like you break my heart,I'll break yours." "In Israel, we just shoot men who are untrue." "Look,Tony could have turned me in when I was harassing him.He didn't." "If anything,I owe him." "When were you last at Quantico?" "I've been on tour in Iraq for the last eight months." "That's not my question." "I checked in with my command ten days ago before I took leave to get married." "Look,if someone brown-bagged Tony's door or torched his car,it wasn't me." "Does your husband know about Tony?" "Of course he knows." "What...?" "Scott's a lawyer." "If he has a problem with someone,he sues them,not..." "Tony wasn't murdered,was he?" "No." "Then what is this about?" "Lieutenant... you can return to your honeymoon,but if I need you..." "We'll be at the Greenbrier for another week." "And next time, have your agent knock." "Boss,do you really not know what "coitus interruptus" means?" "A better question:" "Do you know what it means if you haven't located Stewart?" "My father used to say, "Esh ktana sorefet harbe teerass."" "Translate." ""A little fire burns a great deal of corn."" "What?" "!" "Never really made sense to me,either." "It loses something in translation." "Director..." "I saw Lieutenant Kim leave." "She have an alibi?" "No,she framed DiNozzo, and I let her go." " So,George Stewart is..." " He's next on my list." "You know,there's no reason to be petulant,Jethro..." "The word's "pissed."Jen, you know what?" "You can drop the director act.We're alone." "You think my job is an act?" "No,not all of it." "Ass-kissing on the Hill is a skill." " So is castration." " I wear a cup." "What is this?" "George Stewart's alias and work address." "I managed to find it between kissing asses." "It just proves you should have stayed a field agent." "Ma'am?" "Abby?" "What?" "I think I found something that might help out Tony." "Why didn't you say so?" "Maybe not exonerate, but at least place someone" " else at the crime scene." " What is it?" "Well,you know the sticky substance found on the victim's ankle?" "Yes." "Well,I chemically and instrumentally examined it." "The material's an adhesive, same kind found in duct tape or carpet tape." "How does this help Tony?" "Well,I discovered an anomaly in the adhesive material.A carpet fiber." "I used the FTIS and the mass spec to determine its chemical composition." "It's a Dupont fiber from a Mustang." " But Tony drives..." " I know what Tony drives." "But when I tested the stain resistance, it showed the fiber had a coating from a 2004 Mustang." "Tony's Mustang is a '66." "It couldn't have been his car." "We have to get a fiber from Tony's car before it gets towed." "Nice to have you back,ma'a..." "Abby." " George Stewart?" " Petrie." "I changed it legally." " No sailors here." " Got any Jane Does?" "Always got a couple of them." "Could we see them?" "I told you-- no sailors here." "How do you know, if they're Jane Does?" "Look,what the hell do you two want?" "To see your Jane Does." "You got a warrant?" "No." "Do we need one?" "Hell,yes.Now get out." "Tony DiNozzo..." "What'd that bastard say about me now?" "I was exonerated." "How were you exonerated?" "Fourth Circuit Court." "It wasn't me that messed up that blood test." "I sent it out to a lab." "What's the name of the lab?" "Pemberton Medical Analysis." "Sure we can't take a quick look around?" "Not without a warrant." "That's what happened last time." ""Just a quick look around... a few questions."" "Then I'm fired,and my life is trashed." "Now,get out." "We'll be back." "With a warrant." "Reasonable doubt can go a long way with a jury,Chip." "If this is someone else's carpet fiber that was on that duct tape..." "Hello... frame-up!" "The bite mark?" "I guess you could steal the dental records, create your own mould, make an impression on the leg." "Keep going,keep going." "And a print from a glove,I mean,anyone could have pulled those gloves from our trash." "Yes!" "Yeah,but how would anyone know which one's Tony's?" "Don't blow it,Chip." "You were on a roll." "Sorry." "See what I mean?" "Uh... no." "The carpet fibers match." "Tony must have redone his carpeting." "Never... have a negative thought when you're on a roll." "Could've been worse." "How?" "That blood on the severed leg..." "DNA came back with a match." "It matched DiNozzo?" "What are you doing?" "I was trying to throw away your Caf-Pow." "Why?" "Because I bough you a fresh one while you were sleeping." "Sleeping?" "!" "I can't sleep!" "I have to save Tony." "What time is it?" "6:00 a.m. I lost two hours." "I have been running Jane Doe's DNA everywhere." "She's not in CODIS, the armed forces, the fertility clinics, rare disease databases..." "Abby,it's not your fault." "Not my fault?" "Someone's using forensics to frame Tony and I'm letting them get away with it." " You'll find something." " How?" "All the FBI left me was a speck of blood and a carpet fiber." "I have to look at this from a new perspective." "Your butt's getting bony." "Bony?" "I'll have you know that Ziva rated it a four out of five,okay?" "Bone marrow." "There's a national database for bone marrow donors." "Why is Ziva rating your butt?" "Tony started it." "Don't you blame Tony, he's almost on death row right now." "No,no,no." "Look,I..." "Jane Doe is Carla Johnson." "You matched my DNA with a pair of disembodied legs?" "I'd fire whatever lab you're using at NCIS,Agent Gibbs." "I assure you, they're real and they're mine." "Are you a bone marrow donor?" "(Ç°Ãæ"¹ÓÐ)Bone marrow,organs,blood." "I believe in sharing my good health." "But I draw the line at body parts..." "at least until I'm dead." "We got the DNA match from a bone marrow database." "I haven't donated any bone marrow." "I did give blood to an accident victim a couple of weeks ago." "She died on the operating table." "Did she lose her legs?" "No,her chest was crushed." "Where is her body now?" "Either at our morgue or the state's." "She was a Jane Doe." "I can't believe the blood we DNA-tested was someone else's from a transfusion." "What are the odds of that?" "The same as this killer getting away with framing Tony." "Oh,the guy is a genius, you got to give him that." "Even genii make mistakes.I did." "What was your mistake?" "Giving up on forensics when I should've looked deeper." "We already processed that fiber." "I know that,Chaz-zoid." "But the killer picked up this fiber, took it to work,had it in his car, carried it through the woods." "There has to be some sign of that guy on this fiber." "Not if he wore gloves." "Maybe the gloves have a different residue than NCIS gloves." "Maybe he smokes a cigar." "Maybe there's cigar residue on the fiber." "You're testing for cigar smoke?" "For a second," "I lost my faith in..." "But now I know that forensics was just testing me." "And I will rise up and I will find the man that did this to Tony and I will crucify him!" "Is it standard operating procedure for nurses to give transfusions?" "No,we were low on blood and I'm a universal donor." "Identifying a pair of legs must be a first." "Here it is." "Jane Doe was transferred to the Virginia County Coroner's Office eight days ago." "Who signed for the body?" "We have a warrant now." "For what?" "I didn't do anything wrong." "No?" "I can think of at least two things." "Framing an NCIS agent for murder and really,really,really pissing him off." "Open it." "I strongly recommend you do what he says." "This explains why Jane Doe's legs were in pristine condition." "You think I cut off some girl's legs?" " Did you?" " No!" "Why would I ever do such a thing?" "I don't know,but if you're going to talk to me, please get a breath mint first." "Please!" "Very funny,probie." "Come on,Tony,it's a gift." "From who?" "The baggie bunnies or Pam Kim?" "No,actually,it's from Chip." "Great." "Now I'm getting crap from the lab monkeys." "Not for much longer." "I knew boss'd get me out of here; what did he find?" "Well,hopefully,the body that goes with those legs." "What do you mean,"hopefully,"probie." "Abby matched the legs that you severed..." "I didn't sever any legs!" "Sorry,slip of the tongue." "Uh,the legs you supposedly severed" "DNA-matched to a Carla Johnson,who..." "you are not going to believe this..." "I'll believe it if it gets me out of here." "She's alive." "With no legs." "No,no,she's got legs." "Okay,Tony." "Prison changes a man." "Tony,come on,man." "He's doing it to me again." " You have the right to remain silent" " That bastard DiNozzo set me up!" "Anything you say can and will be used against in a court of law." "I never thought I'd say this:" "But I am so happy to see you,Fornell." "That makes one of us,DiNozzo." "Ha!" "Never got to do myCool Hand Luke impersonation,either." "What we got here is a failure to communicate." "Never saw it." "Are you kidding me?" "Only the greatest chain gang movie of all time." "Strother Martin is the captain... they're throwing a little welcome back party for agent DiNozzo upstairs." "Go,Chip,I'm not finished here."

"Abby,don't you think you're obsessing a little." "You know what I found in the little fibers,Chippy?" "Sodium,chloride,potassium lactate,urea." "Sweat." "Exactly." "Should be able to pull DNA from that." "I also put a call into Pemberton Medical Analysis-- the lab that fired Stewart." "He's probably after them,too." "What can I do to help?" "Stay out of my way." "Didn't doubt you for a second,boss." "Well,maybe one second." "No,don't thank me." "It was all Abby." "The poor girl hasn't slept since this entire affair began." "Where is she?" "She's probably passed on by now." "The term is passed out." "Whatever." "The girl is tired." "I got the court records from Stewart's case against Baltimore unsealed."

"But you couldn't leave well enough alone,could you?" "Could you?" "Jethro?" "Abby!" "Now can I work alone?" "" NCIS Season 03 Episode 09 " -=END="
