Donald Mallard
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [seeing Chris Pacci's dead body] Bastard disemboweled him.
- Dr. Donald Mallard: Yes, but I don't think that was the cause of death.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Is that a bullet wound?
- Dr. Donald Mallard: Yes, in the neck. Most likely pierced the carotid artery. It was a quick death. He would have bled out in less than a minute.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Shouldn't there be a lot more blood?
- Dr. Donald Mallard: If he was shot in the elevator.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You think it happened topside?
- Dr. Donald Mallard: That would be my guess. But this, this slashing, was done here in the elevator.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Rage or ritual, Duck?
- Dr. Donald Mallard: I don't know, Jethro. Maybe after I've autopsied him.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Chris asked me for help on a cold case. I was chasing Curtain and didn't have time.
- Dr. Donald Mallard: Jethro...
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: He said it could wait. What difference did another day make.
- Dr. Donald Mallard: Jethro, this is not your fault.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: It feels like it is, Ducky.
- Dr. Donald Mallard: [talking to the body in Autopsy] Ah, Christopher. You've left us a bit of a mystery.
- Jason Patel: [new Autopsy assistant enters unnoticed, freezes when he sees Ducky talking to the body]
- Dr. Donald Mallard: [Ducky continues to talk] Give me some direction.
- [shows a folder to the body]
- Dr. Donald Mallard: What should I be looking for in this autopsy report, hm?
- Jason Patel: [unnerved, the assistant quietly leaves]
