Mark Harmon credited as playing...
Leroy Jethro Gibbs
- Ziva David: Agent Gibbs is not, uh, shall we say not fond of outsiders.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: He's not going to like you. And frankly, you're not going to like him either.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: Tony...
- Sarah Knox: Why not?
- [Gibbs enters in the far background]
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: You see, I'm not going to answer that question
- [Gibbs starts approaching the group]
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: because if I do, he's going to walk up behind me and make me regret it. He slithers through the grass like a snake. He's not friendly. He's oily -
- [Gibbs slaps the back of DiNozzo's head]
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Done, DiNozzo?
- Conrad Zuse: [Gibbs is taking evidence money for the ransom] And you - and you can just do that? You can just take the money like that?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Can in two days.
- Conrad Zuse: ...You could get in a lot of trouble.
- [They exchange looks]
- Conrad Zuse: So why do it?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: It's my job.
- Conrad Zuse: Your job is to stick your neck out?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Building catches fire. Most people run away. Some people - run in.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Who are you?
- [Mason doesn't respond]
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Okay, now we're wasting time.
- Nicholas Mason: You're not authorized.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Who can authorize me?
- Nicholas Mason: The President of the United States.
- [Gibbs pulls out his cellphone]
- Nicholas Mason: The one buried in Simi Valley, out in California.
- Nicholas Mason: That's why I am calling you. To warn you. These people cannot be trusted. It was like ameteur hour out there today.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: And you're the professional, right?
- Nicholas Mason: I am what I am. Bad luck for these guys. The rest is not important.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Mason, you need to come in before you cross a line you cannot come back from.
- Nicholas Mason: I don't have a lot of time so let me be as clear as I can be. There is no force on this planet that's going to stop me from finding my granddaughter. You have to work within the law. I am a bit more flexible.
- Nicholas Mason: Thank you. Could have used a guy like you on my team.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: We could still use a guy like you.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: So, McGee said you found something?
- Abby Sciuto: Not me. My new number one!
- [She indicates Michael, who is tongue-tied, so she begins to explain]
- Abby Sciuto: We were processing Mason's impounded vehicle and we found two things. First, it smells like french fries, and second...
- Michael Seelus: I noticed the fuel line had a small tear.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: How'd that get there?
- Abby Sciuto: Not by accident. But when the gas leaked onto the engine block and exploded, it would have made it look like one.
- Michael Seelus: The killer was saving Mason for last.
- Abby Sciuto: And thought that the fire would destroy all the evidence, but... it did not.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: So you got his fingerprints.
- Abby Sciuto: Oh, yeah.
- [She and Michael high-five]
