Leroy Jethro Gibbs
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: Cole worked at a local carwash. Abby got a hit off his DNA. Two years ago he donated sperm.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [Tony and Ziva enter] Ah the things people will do for money.
- Officer Ziva David: You donated your sperm.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Didn't do that for money. Just to enrich the world. So, Boss I spoke with security at Quantico.
- [McGee clears his throat]
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Oh, I'm sorry. Did I interrupt? Let's see who the Boss likes better.
- [Tony and McGee wait expectantly]
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Ziva.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: [as he's leaving] DiNozzo.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: On your six, Boss. Hey, you haven't forgotten about that screensaver, have you, Ziva?
- Officer Ziva David: Actually, I had.
- [advances on McGee]
- Officer Ziva David: Thanks for reminding me.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: What are friends for?
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Everything okay, Boss? You seem kind of quiet... ter than usual. Worried this is just his first?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Nah. Worried it's not.
- Abby Sciuto: Oh my God. That poster is right outside my lab. He was here. He walked right by my lab!
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: Abby, this isn't a flash code. It's h-dot-six-two-four...
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Hey, McGee!
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: Boss, this isn't a video. It's streaming live. He's outside Abby's lab!
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: Do I I need to tell you Sec Nav is already breathing down my neck?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: If it'll make you feel better.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: Sec Nav is already breathing down my neck. Now you know. I'll handle him. You handle this. Just watch your back, Gibbs.
- Abby Sciuto: I have two questions: This video, it's different than the others. Why?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Okay. What's the other question?
- Abby Sciuto: Can I stay with you tonight?
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: You want to evacuate the Navy Yard?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: He's coming here.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: How do you know?
- [Gibbs shows Vance a screenshot from the killer's last cyber-vid: an anchor]
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: That could mean anything.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: It means his next victim is going to be in the Navy Yard.
- NCIS Director 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?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: The camera in Harry's cart. Video wasn't for us, it's for him.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: You think that was recon. Killer was scouting the base. N.C.I.S. I get, but why evacuate the whole Yard?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: You can't kill anybody, Leon, if there's no one here to kill.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: Well, I'll give you points for the unexpected. We were going to run a security lockdown drill next week.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Move it up.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: [reaches for his phone] Not sure if I hope you're right or wrong.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: If we turn them both on...
- Abby Sciuto: We can triangulate back on the killer.
- [Turns and faces Gibbs]
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: ...Or you could just stand there looking at me.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [while trying to figure out the place of a murder] All right, now let's try the place.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: A convent.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Is that where they keep the killer nuns?
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: Some of the nuns I know can get very agitated.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Please tell me that you have something better than agitated nuns.
- [SPOILER]
- Tommy Doyle: [ruefully] NCIS... I knew I should've gone with the FBI. It's a cliche, but look what you get for trying something different.
- Officer Ziva David: [disables the bomb] Clear.
- Rose Woodhouse: He said if I didn't just stand there, he'd kill me!
- [to Tommy]
- Rose Woodhouse: You said we were shooting another music video! I hope you fry!
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: [pulling her away] Come on, Rose, come on, let's go...
- Officer Ziva David: He set her up. How did you know?
- [Gibbs points]
- Officer Ziva David: The video camera? Yes, they had one of those at every murder.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: On the victim. *I* was the murder weapon.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [cuffing Tommy] Total cliche, you know. You ripped that off from "Seven."
- Tommy Doyle: Wrong! At the end of "Seven" the cops kill the serial killer, not another victim, it's *totally* different!
- [smirks]
- Tommy Doyle: 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... he's gonna be a household name by the ten o'clock news!
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Put the gun down.
- Rose Woodhouse: I wish I could, please leave!
- Tommy Doyle: Shoot her, she's crazy!
- Rose Woodhouse: I'm sorry...
- Tommy Doyle: Somebody shoot her, I don't want to die!
- [After noticing the camera, Gibbs points his gun at Tommy]
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: Ah, boss...?
- Tommy Doyle: ...What the hell!
- [grins and reveals a]
- Tommy Doyle: Dead man's switch. You shoot me, we all die.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Let's go!
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: What do we got, Boss?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: What do we got? We got a... that's a good question, DiNozzo.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Blood is human, boss. Not pure, but enough to make Janet Leigh scream.
- Officer Ziva David: We thought it prudent to notify Ducky, given the amount.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Source?
- Officer Ziva David: McGee's still looking for it.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [photographing the scene] "Mother... blood... blood!"
- Officer Ziva David: [off Gibbs's look] "Psycho."
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: He has his moments.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Nice timing, Jethro. I thought you'd like to see what we found in our scans... or rather, what we didn't find.
- Jimmy Palmer: His brain... is missing!
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: There's no need to get so excited, Mr. Palmer.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Where did it go?
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Well, it appears to have been removed trans-nasally, in a manner similar to that used by the ancient Egyptians prior to mummification.
- [picks up a small hook]
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Most likely, using a took similar to this.
- Jimmy Palmer: A missing brain, so close to Halloween... that's enough to make you want to...
- [off their looks]
- Jimmy Palmer: ... go clean some pipettes.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Postmortem?
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Well, judging by the intracranial hemorrhaging, I believe the entire cerebrum was removed while he was still alive. Unconscious, of course, but alive... until, of course, he wasn't.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: These outlying homes receive their water from local aquifers. Water's drawn into holding tanks and distributed to these smaller nodes.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Pumped to the houses as needed.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' 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.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: This is a fascinating individual, Jethro.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: I can think of another word for him.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Yeah, "crazy." Well, the precise term is "narcissistic personality disorder."
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Oh, yeah, well, I'm familiar with that, too.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Yes, but where Agent DiNozzo has an excessive need for admiration, he has empathy as well-something our killer lacks.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: It's all a game to him.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Yes, and one he has chosen to play with you.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: I noticed. Why?
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' 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.
