- Donald Mallard: It's a microscopic dart.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Where'd it come from?
- Donald Mallard: I extracted it from Corporal Beck's arm here. This contusion alerted me to the injection site. The dart is designed to be left behind, beneath the dermis. It's so small, sharp, and thin that it would've felt like... well, nothing more than a bug bite.
- Abby Sciuto: [entering] Botulinum toxin.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: What?
- Abby Sciuto: He didn't ask yet?
- Donald Mallard: Mere seconds away.
- Abby Sciuto: My timing is off today.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Abs, what was in the dart?
- Abby Sciuto: Now is when I'm supposed to swoosh in and say...
- Donald Mallard: Botulinum toxin. The most poisonous natural substance known to man.
- Abby Sciuto: Botulinum was the main ingredient, but the injection was a mixture of inhibitors...
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Abs, less words.
- Abby Sciuto: Uh, it... has stuff in it that mask the symptoms of the poison.
- Donald Mallard: So it hit all at once.
- Abby Sciuto: Yeah, and it hit hard. I mean, there's people all over the Dark Web selling this kind of concoction, along with compressed-air guns to fire it into the skin. I mean, they only work at close range, but they're even selling silencers.
- Donald Mallard: A discreet killing device in the palm of one's hand.
- Abby Sciuto: Exactly. And there's no way to trace who's buying them.
