Good Samaritan Transcripts


JULIUS: Hi. Is everything okay?
WOMAN: Can you just call AAA? My cell phone can't get a signal out here.
JULIUS: What's the problem?
WOMAN: I don't know, the car just stopped.
JULIUS: Mind if I look under the hood? I'm a Lieutenant Commander in the Navy, stationed in Oceana. I just want to help, okay? Relax. I was just getting my ID. I'm a dentist. I don't carry a gun.
WOMAN: I do.

KATE: It's my sister's number. I always use her as my emergency contact. No, she lives in Miami. What difference does it make if she's local or not? Well, no, of, of course, I could get a number of somebody in town, ah, it's just that, I'll have to call them first to make sure it's all right. Fine. I'll call you back.
TONY: I'll be your emergency contact.
KATE: Thanks, I'll...get somebody else.
TONY: Yeah, what's wrong with me?
KATE: Where do I start?
TONY: They never call. They just need a number.
KATE: How do you do that?
TONY: First team varsity Ohio State. So what d'you say?
KATE: Fine. Just, don't make a big deal out of it.
TONY: Great, so, um, what are my responsibilities? Are there any financial ramifications, like do I need to um, give blood if you get hurt, or -
KATE: Okay, see, this is what I was talking about making a big deal out of it.
TONY: - maybe we should go by your house and sort of check out the floor plan -
KATE: Oh, forget it. Forget it. I'll just, uhm, I'll ask Abby.
TONY: Suit yourself.
ABBY: Whoa. Are you guys Libras?
TONY & KATE: No.
ABBY: They are so screwed this week.
TONY: Why don't you ask Gibbs?
KATE: Maybe I will...why is he carrying two cups of coffee today?
TONY: I don't know, and I don't want to know, but it probably has something to do with one of his ex-wives.
GIBBS: Gibbs. We have a possible execution style murder of a Navy Lieutenant Commander in Grayson County. Call Ducky.
TONY: You know, I have call-waiting, for emergencies. I don't think Gibbs even knows what call-waiting is.

GIBBS: Gibbs. NCIS.
CHARLIE: Hello Gibbs NCIS. You got a first name?
GIBBS: Jethro.
CHARLIE: Parents had a sense of humor. Who's the rest of your posse?
GIBBS: Special Agent Todd, Dinozzo. Our ME, Doctor Mallard.
CHARLIE: What can I do for ya?
GIBBS: I understand a naval officer was killed here last night.
CHARLIE: That's right.
GIBBS: If it's all the same to you, Sheriff -
CHARLIE: Charlie.
GIBBS: - since the victim was a naval officer, we'd like to take over the investigation.
CHARLIE: Well, it isn't all the same to me, Jethro. The voters of Grayson County didn't elect me sheriff so I could cede jurisdiction to some out of towners, no matter how good-looking one of them might be.
GIBBS: We'll share jurisdiction.
CHARLIE: A murder on a state road in my county? I don't think so.
GIBBS: With all due respect, Sheriff -
CHARLIE: Charlie.
GIBBS: - the forensic resources of NCIS dwarf those of Grayson County.
CHARLIE: well, I'll tell you what. I'll handle the local investigation. You can have custody of the physical evidence for forensic purposes, and do the on-base investigation. But any prosecution will take place in Grayson County, everything runs through me, no exceptions, and I get full credit. It's an election year.
GIBBS: What have you got?

CHARLIE: Looks like Commander Julius got a flat. Pulled over to fix it, somebody came along, robbed him, and killed him. No clothes, no wallet, no watch. We traced him through the car registration.
GIBBS: Kate, photos. Tony, laser and sketch.
DUCKY: This reminds me of the tale of the traveler who was beaten and left by the highway.
CHARLIE: How so?
DUCKY: Oh, a man from Samaria came by. Yes, he saw the poor fellow, picked him up, carried him in his arms to an inn. Bathed his wounds, bandaged them, and left money, to feed him. This was unusual because the Sumerians were considered outcasts from the moral fiber. Yeah, but from then on, he's been known as the good Samaritan.
CHARLIE: Man, you can talk.
DUCKY: Perhaps over dinner?
CHARLIE: Mm, you're cute. You got no chance, but you're cute.
DUCKY: Don't be too swift in your dismissal, Charlie. Destiny has brought us together.
CHARLIE: You might want to check those tarot cards one more time.
DUCKY: This Samaritan wasn't one of the good ones, was he, my friend?
GIBBS: What've you got, Duck?
DUCKY: Single gunshot to the back. One, two - ah, no exit wound. Based on the blood spatter, I'd say he was shot where he dropped.
GIBBS: Shell casings?
CHARLIE: None that we could find. We set up grids and went over each one using a metal detector. Found zip.
DUCKY: That's odd.
GIBBS: What?
DUCKY: His hands were bound after he died. If they were tied before he was killed, it would have restricted circulation, and the blood would have pooled and been unable to escape.
GIBBS: Making his hands redder than the rest of his body?
DUCKY: Precisely.
GIBBS: Time of death?
DUCKY: Oh, Jethro, you've really got to have some patience.
CHARLIE: What's his story?
KATE: What do you mean?
CHARLIE: Well, is he single, available?
KATE: Ah, he's single. As far as available, I, I really wouldn't know.
CHARLIE: I saw a car with its trunk up, so I pulled over. Didn't know I'd be rolling into a crime scene. What's that cologne you're wearing?
GIBBS: Not wearing any.
CHARLIE: Oh, that's me. New perfume, you like?
GIBBS: Got a tow truck we can borrow?
CHARLIE: Sure, doll.
GIBBS: Don't say it, Dinozzo.
TONY: I wasn't going to say anything.
GIBBS: Don't think it.
TONY: Too late.

GIBBS: When we get to Oceana, I want you to search Julius's apartment.
TONY: What're we looking for?
GIBBS: Motive to kill him.
KATE: You don't think it was a crime of opportunity?
GIBBS: His hands were tied behind his back after he was killed.
KATE: Well, maybe it was part of the killer's ritual.
GIBBS: Kate, that's why we're going to Oceana.
CHARLIE: Jethro! I need to know how to get a hold of you.
GIBBS: Number's on the card I gave you.
CHARLIE: What about after hours?
GIBBS: Ah, they can find me.
CHARLIE: Is this NCIS's idea of cooperation?

DUCKY: Based on the width and edges of the entry wound, and the absence of an exit wound, I'd say you were killed by a hollow point bullet. Ah, Gerald, it's a conundrum.
GERALD: What's that?
DUCKY: How a society that can develop cures for all sorts of diseases can be the same society that develops a bullet that does this kind of damage. D'you know why they call them dum-dum bullets?
GERALD: Ah, no?
DUCKY: Well, in the late 1890s the British military developed them in India at the Dum-Dum Arsenal. Yes, their use in warfare was banned at the first international peace conference in 1899 at The Hague.
GERALD: I actually find that interesting.
DUCKY: As opposed to what?

GREEN: How'd he die?
GIBBS: He was shot in the back. Any idea what he was doing out there?
GREEN: Has a sister that lives in Kentucky. Might've been on his way home from the visit.
GIBBS: How long had he been stationed here?
GREEN: About five years? Been with the Navy almost fifteen years. It was his life.
GIBBS: Never married?
GREEN: Well, if he was, it was before he arrived here.
GIBBS: How well'd you know him?
GREEN: Hm. Not very.
GIBBS: You were his commanding officer.
GREEN: Commander Julius was a bit of an odd duck, if you know what I mean.
GIBBS: I don't.
GREEN: He was a competent dentist, but he wasn't one of the boys.
GIBBS: Didn't like to go out and hoist a few, huh?
GREEN: Exactly. He would rather sit in front of a computer screen surfing for collectibles.
GIBBS: What kind?
GREEN: I don't know. I could ask around.
GIBBS: Know anybody who had a grudge against him?

KATE: I wonder who Commander Julius's decorator was?
TONY: Siegfried and Roy? Ah, yeah, nice gear. Hey, what d'you think of this? Eee-go-too-mah-nee...
KATE: I got too many.
TONY: Oh. Yeah. Thanks. What d'you think that means?
KATE: I have no idea.
TONY: Kate? He got too many.
KATE: He collects lunchboxes?
TONY: They're collectibles.
KATE: Yeah, but they're *lunchboxes.*
TONY: Well, so he has an unusual hobby. My grandfather collected buttons. He always said anybody could collect coins, or stamps, but buttons...oh! Magnum PI lunchbox! MagPI...I loved Magnum PI. I had one of these in elementary school. Tom Selleck was the *man.*
KATE: Are they valuable?
TONY: Probably, why?
KATE: Could be a motive.
TONY: Ah, lunchbox deal gone bad.
KATE: People have killed for a lot less.
TONY: I think I may know what those numbers are on the computer post-it.

KATE: What is this going to tell us?
TONY: He buys and sells lunchboxes on Ebay, we can check his feedback, see if anyone has a beef with him. Haven't you ever bought anything on Ebay before?
KATE: Have you?
TONY: Just some buttons for my cousin Petey. Ah. Hundred percent. So much for a lunchbox motive.

KATE: Somebody's popular.
TONY: Hm. Not me. Clerk screwed up again. And they seem to be from Sheriff DuPre.
KATE: Thought you gave her your cell.
GIBBS: Guess I forgot to turn it on.
TONY: What does she want?
GIBBS: She wants to video-conference.

GIBBS: What can I do for you, Sheriff?
CHARLIE: Jethro, if you're not gonna call me Charlie, we're gonna have a difficult time working together.
GIBBS: Okay, Charlie.
CHARLIE: There was a murder two counties over. Very similar to Commander Julius - in fact, almost exactly the same.
GIBBS: How so?
CHARLIE: The victim was found off the side of a country road. Nude, bound, one gunshot wound to the back, no shell casings found.
GIBBS: Who was the victim?
CHARLIE: A David Truly. He wasn't in the Navy, but he was a civilian employee at Naval Air Station Oceana. I think we've got a serial killer on our hands.

TONY: This reminds me of a case I worked once. Guy hated mailmen -
KATE: Letter carrier.
TONY: What?
KATE: They're called letter carriers, not mailmen.
TONY: Since when?
KATE: I don't think there was a specific date, Tony, it just kind of evolved.
GIBBS: Hey, Casey, Denise, is this in any way relevant to our case? If the Sheriff is right, we need to find out how our killer is choosing his targets.
KATE: Well, how does he know the cars that stop are going to be Navy connected?
GIBBS: Maybe he doesn't. Maybe if someone pulls over who's not Navy, he just waves 'em off.
TONY: Lot of east-west highways in southern Virginia head toward Virginia Beach, makes sense a lot of people on 'em would be Navy.
GIBBS: Get a hold of Truly's personnel records. See if there's any connection between him and Commander Julius. And check Julius's CO.
KATE: I know, you're gonna ask me to call the LEOs in the other county and have them ship over the evidence.
GIBBS: Wasn't gonna ask.

DUCKY: Yes, the bullet entered the back in the left intercostal space between the third and fourth ribs. The trajectory was from left to right, indicating that the shooter fired from the left. Would you weigh what's left of the liver for me please, Gerald?
GERALD: No problem, Doc.
GIBBS: Anything unusual?
DUCKY: Ah, rather straightforward, actually.
GIBBS: That's unusual.
DUCKY: Well, the bullet took a fairly circuitous route through Commander Julius after it entered.
GIBBS: Usable for ballistics?
DUCKY: It's difficult to say. The bullet was a nine millimeter hollow point. Sustained some fragmentation, I sent it up to Abby.
GIBBS: Cause of death?
DUCKY: Gunshot wound to the back.
GIBBS: Can't be much more straightforward than that, Duck.
DUCKY: Well, he bled out. The bullet was a particularly nasty form of hollow point. When it expanded on impact, its copper jacket peeled back to form six sharp claws, one of which nicked his aorta. Excuse me.
GIBBS: Even if he made it to the hospital, Duck, he didn't have a chance.
DUCKY: Yeah, well, it wasn't an execution type slaying. Not that it'd make any difference to Commander Julius, but the GSR pattern indicated that he was shot from a distance of three to five feet.
GIBBS: Killer tied Julius's hands post-mortem. He do anything else?
DUCKY: Well, there's no sign of sexual abuse, if that's what you're asking. I did find traces of a powdery substance on his wrists.
GIBBS: Drugs?
DUCKY: Ah, I doubt it. Abby's analyzing it now. I suspect it'll turn out to be corn starch.
GIBBS: Used as a lubricant for latex gloves.
DUCKY: There's actually quite a controversy about the use of powder as a donning agent in latex gloves.
GIBBS: You know, I read that one, Duck, that's why there are no prints.
DUCKY: Oh. You'll find this interesting, Gerald.

GIBBS: Anything, Abby?
ABBY: This is the left rear tire off Commander Julius's car. Notice anything unusual?
GIBBS: It's inflated.
ABBY: Is that a guess, or do you actually know where I'm going this?
GIBBS: What do you think?
ABBY: Well, I don't know, that's why I asked you.
GIBBS: Why don't you just tell me?
ABBY: So you don't know.
GIBBS: I want to make sure you know.
ABBY: Hm.
GIBBS: Hm.
ABBY: We should play poker sometime.
GIBBS: Yeah, we should.
ABBY: According to Sheriff DuPre's report, when she got to the scene, the tire was flat. But I had no problem filling it.
GIBBS: Sure it's not a slow leak?
ABBY: This is the second time I've filled it, and the first time I had it submerged in water. There were no bubbles. There is nothing wrong with this tire.
GIBBS: Someone let the air out to make it look flat.
ABBY: The killer went to a lot of trouble to make a crime scene look like something else.
GIBBS: Any luck with the tire track?
ABBY: Depends on your definition of luck.
GIBBS: Re-ally. You're a little feisty today.
ABBY: Thanks for noticing. I ran the track through the tread assistance database. The CD-ROM has over ten thousand tire tracks for comparison. It's great for parties. On top is the partial we cast at the scene.
GIBBS: You matched them.
ABBY: I did. But here's the bad news. This particular brand is like the prom queen of tires. It's very popular. It fits all kinds of mid-sized cars and SUVs. I hate getting behind SUVs. You can't see anything.
GIBBS: Do you have a list of the models that use that tire?
ABBY: It's in your email. And I included the tire distributors in the eastern Virginia area that sell that brand. So Julius's prints are all over the car, as you would expect. I did find some unidentified prints on the hood.
GIBBS: Did you run it through -
ABBY: Run it through AFIS?
GIBBS: Feisty and psychic.
ABBY: It's a killer combination. I didn't get any hits on the prints. The interior is clean. There's no blood, no bodily fluid, but I did find something peculiar on the trunk lock.
GIBBS: Corn starch.
ABBY: Oh, Ducky. Hmph. There's just no way that this is a crime of opportunity. Whoever pulled it off put a lot of thought into it.

KATE: Argh! I called the county clerk's office to see about getting the records sent over, and I get a recording. And the recording tells me to call another number, which I do, which gives me another recording that directs me to dial the first number that I called.
TONY: Look on the bright side.
KATE: What bright side?
TONY: It's just an expression.
KATE: Big mistake turning off the cell.
TONY: Ah. Charlie. Almost didn't recognize you.
CHARLIE: Like getting out of that uniform. Evidence from the other murder. Special delivery.
KATE: Wow. We never get this kind of cooperation.
CHARLIE: It's not a problem. Where's Jethro?
GIBBS: Right here.
CHARLIE: Surprised to see me?
GIBBS: Oh yeah. Yeah. Surprise is one word that does come to mind.
CHARLIE: Case files and photos from the Halifax County murder.
GIBBS: 'Preciate that.
CHARLIE: Jethro, I think you owe me a dinner.
GIBBS: Have you always been so shy?
CHARLIE: Well, Jethro, there are two kinds of people in this world. The ones who go after what they want, and everybody else. Where we going?
GIBBS: The cafeteria.
CHARLIE: Mmm.

GIBBS: Do you have something to say?
TONY & KATE: No!
GIBBS: What've we got here?
KATE: Well, these photos are almost carbon copies of the ones I took in Grayson County. And Charlie put together a profile of the killer.
TONY: White male, age twenty-five to thirty-four, of at least average intelligence, possibly of military background.
KATE: Also makes reference to a sub-type of serial killer, the mission-oriented type. He seeks out a specific group that he thinks the world would be better without.
GIBBS: Doesn't narrow it down much.
KATE: They also recovered a slug. Nine millimeter hollow point.
GIBBS: What's the condition?
KATE: It's too damaged to try and match.
GIBBS: Does it say anything there about the bullet having six sharp claws?
KATE: No, but they don't have access to the equipment that we do. Abby might have better luck.
TONY: Well, here's something you don't read every day. One of the patrolmen noticed a wet patch of ground. Someone took a wiz on the side of the road.
GIBBS: While they were waiting for another car to come along.
TONY: They dug up the whole patch, sealed it, tagged it, and sent it for DNA analysis.
GIBBS: And?
TONY: Hasn't been tested yet because of a backlog at the state lab.
GIBBS: Get 'em to send it to Abby. And remember - two killings don't make a serial killer.

TONY: Z4? Nice. 3.0 liter, 225 horsepower, dual overhead cam, 24 valve inline six-cylinder engine with double ?? variable A-valve timing? Oohhh, I love cars.
KATE: No flat. All the other victim's cars had flat tires.
TONY: Wouldn't matter, she's got run-flat tires. They come standard.
GIBBS: Hey, Charlie. Thanks for the call.
CHARLIE: My pleasure, Jethro.
GIBBS: What've we got here?
CHARLIE: 911, said they saw a car pulled off the side of the road with its emergency flashers on. They sent a patrolman, this is what he found.
GIBBS: Victim been ID'd?
CHARLIE: Lieutenant James Seager, aviator. Oceana.
KATE: Sure looks like the work of our guy.
DUCKY: I beg to differ, Kate. This young man was killed between two and three yesterday afternoon. No, the body has double lividity. The blood settled twice.
GIBBS: Killed someplace else and dumped here.
TONY: Copycat?
DUCKY: Well, the details have all been in the press. They match in almost every respect. It's nearly impossible to come to any other conclusion.
KATE: That means we have two killers on the loose.

GIBBS: I think we're looking for a woman.
TONY: Female serial killer goes against the odds, but it's not unheard of.
CHARLIE: What's your thinking, doll?
GIBBS: Most men prefer hands-on killings. Strangulation, stabbing. Women prefer hands-off killings.
KATE: Like these.
GIBBS: Women are meticulous about leaving a crime scene free of material evidence.
CHARLIE: Which would account for why we found no shell casings. Or fingerprints.
GIBBS: What would cause a man to pull over on a dark road at night?
KATE: Damsel in distress.
GIBBS: Exactly.
CHARLIE: Handsome and smart.
GIBBS: I think our answer's in Oceana. Go through base records for any disgruntled civilian employees, dishonorable discharges, anybody with a chip on their shoulder.
KATE: And what're you going to do?
GIBBS: I'm going to talk to Lieutenant Seager's RIO.
KATE: Can I ask you a question, Gibbs?
GIBBS: Is this one of those questions where it's not going to matter if I say no?
KATE: I was just wondering if there was any rhyme or reason behind how you divide up assignments.
GIBBS: Yeah.

WALLACE: Jimmy liked to take his Z4 out to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Drop the top, crank up some country tunes, and just wind it out.
GIBBS: Something funny about that?
WALLACE: I hate country music. We were always arguing about that. Sometimes he'd take his fatboy up there.
GIBBS: His what?
WALLACE: His Harley. That was Jimmy, y'know? Fast cars, fast jets...
GIBBS: The need for speed.
WALLACE: Exactly. He had a bad boy vibe, that was part of his appeal.
GIBBS: When was the last time you saw him?
WALLACE: Two days ago. We were doing night FCLP.
GIBBS: Yeah, read his service records. His fit reps were all outstanding.
WALLACE: He was a hell of a pilot.
GIBBS: You know anybody who'd want to kill him?
WALLACE: His wife.
GIBBS: You want to take a minute to think about that?
WALLACE: Don't need to.
GIBBS: Any specific reason?
WALLACE: Whew. There's a laundry list. At the top, they're going through a particularly nasty divorce. I guess I should say they were going through a divorce.
GIBBS: How nasty was it?
WALLACE: Mutual restraining orders, yelling and screaming, each one accusing the other of cheating...
GIBBS: Any truth to that?
WALLACE: I can't speak for Laura, but Jimmy was a man's man. He loved the ladies and the ladies loved him. But I never saw him cross the line, and I think he would've told me if he did.
GIBBS: Because he told you everything.
WALLACE: And I told him everything. When you trust your life to someone literally, you usually don't keep any secrets.
GIBBS: Normally when someone kills their spouse, there's a financial upside. Jimmy have a second job?
WALLACE: No. He had a very successful grandfather. Was the original US importer of Swiss Army Knives. Made some serious coin.
GIBBS: And Jimmy was the beneficiary.
WALLACE: Along with his brothers and sisters.
GIBBS: How well'd you know the wife?
WALLACE: Well enough to know she's crazy.
GIBBS: How crazy?
WALLACE: She hired a Haitian priest to put a curse on Jimmy.
GIBBS: When was the last time Jimmy saw her?
WALLACE: 'Bout a month ago, I think? They were mostly talking through lawyers. You know that song, "Thin Line Between Love and Hate"?
GIBBS: Nope.
WALLACE: Doesn't matter. Title kind of says it all. Whoever wrote that had Jimmy and Laura in mind.

GIBBS: Laura Seager.
LAURA: That's me.
GIBBS: NCIS, Special Agent Jethro Gibbs, Special Agent Caitlin Todd. D'you have a minute?
LAURA: Sure. Come on in.

LAURA: His death hit me hard. Much harder than I imagined.
GIBBS: Given the tone of your divorce proceedings, I would guess much harder than anyone imagined.
LAURA: I may not have been in love with Jimmy anymore, but I still loved him.
GIBBS: Is that why you hired a Haitian priest to put a curse on him?
LAURA: I see you've been talking to Lieutenant Wallace.
KATE: Is it true?
LAURA: I told him that, but it wasn't true.
GIBBS: Why tell him that, then?
LAURA: Jimmy's lawyers were playing hardball, it was gamesmanship on my part.
KATE: When you were together, did you get along?
LAURA: God. We fought like cats and dogs form day one. It was part of the appeal. There was always a certain energy, a certain...juice between us.
KATE: What went wrong?
LAURA: We grew apart. I know, sounds like a cliché, but that's what happened. It got to the point where Jimmy would rather spend time out back in his wood shop than with me.
GIBBS: Anyone else fill the void?
LAURA: If you're asking me if I had an affair, the answer is no. Can we cut to the chase?
GIBBS: Yeah. By all means.
LAURA: I've read enough books, watched enough TV to know that when a husband is killed under suspicious circumstances, the wife is the first suspect, so please don't feel like you need to beat around the bush. Ask me what you came to ask me. I have nothing to hide.
GIBBS: Did you kill your husband.
LAURA: No. I didn't.
KATE: Where were you yesterday afternoon?
LAURA: Ah, I had a half-dozen errands to run. Dry-cleaner, bank, supermarket, hardware store, I can give you a list with the approximate times.
GIBBS: Would you be willing to give us a DNA sample?
LAURA: Absolutely.

DUCKY: I thought I was going mad. The two autopsies were nearly identical.
TONY: Hey, that's a Yogi Bera quote!
KATE: The cartoon character?
TONY: Not Yogi Bear, Yogi Ber-a.
KATE: Well, judging by your reaction he's either a sports person or a bouncer at a strip club.
TONY: Gentleman's club.
GIBBS: This autopsy give us anything the other one didn't?
DUCKY: Ah, the bullet was in better shape. And I, I noticed something peculiar in his nose, so I did a swab.
GIBBS: A swab, Duck? Kind of old school, isn't it?
DUCKY: I just go where the evidence takes me. I recall a case in my early career. Yeah, before we had the benefit of all this marvelous technology. A young man, barely twenty years old. He had jelly from a doughnut on his face.
GIBBS: Ducky?
DUCKY: Yes?
GIBBS: What'd you find in his nose?
DUCKY: Ah, cellulosic fiber, lignin.
GIBBS: Wood.
DUCKY: Ah, sawdust, to be precise.
TONY: Hey boss, don't you have some kind of weird thing about women and sawdust?...I don't think it's weird.
KATE: Laura Seager said her husband had a woodshop out back.
GIBBS: She also said he hadn't used it in a month. I mean, it wouldn't still be there in his nose after a month, would it, Ducky?
DUCKY: Nah, that was recent.
TONY: Well, he could've been woodworking somewhere else.
GIBBS: Yeah. Could've.
DUCKY: Ah, something else showed up on the swab. A dog's hair.
KATE: Laura Seager had two dogs in the back. But she seemed to have a solid alibi.
GIBBS: One of her errands was to the bank. Charlie could get us the surveillance tapes. They'd all be time stamped.
KATE: Yeah, but if she was guilty, why would she just offer up her DNA so freely?
GIBBS: Because she didn't know we had something to match it to.

ABBY: Aaaah! Gibbs! Didn't your momma teach you not to sneak up on people?
GIBBS: Obviously not.
ABBY: I had an ex-boyfriend that snuck up on me once. He was walking funny for a week. Or, I should say, funnier.
GIBBS: What've you got for me, Abs?
ABBY: If it's what I think it is, something that's going to rock your world.
GIBBS: Well, don't keep me in suspense.
ABBY: Just need a minute...ha!
GIBBS: That's a match?
ABBY: That's right. Ranger talons.
GIBBS: This supposed to rock my world?
ABBY: Pay attention, class. The left bullet Ducky pulled from Commander Wade Julius. The right bullet was recovered not from David Truly - the victim from two counties over - but from victim number three, Lieutenant Seager. Now would anyone like to tell the class what this means?

TONY: There wasn't a copycat murder?
GIBBS: No. All three were committed by the same person.
ABBY: We matched the bullets from Julius to Seager.
TONY: Wait, that doesn't make any sense. Why was Seager killed somewhere else and then dumped if there wasn't a copycat?
KATE: You think Laura Seager could have randomly killed two people to make it look like a serial killer in order to cover up killing her husband?
GIBBS: Yeah. Two, or three.
KATE: You think she'd kill again to keep up the serial killer ruse?
GIBBS: Yeah, sure.
ABBY: That's so cold.
GIBBS: Ice cold. How're we doing on the DNA sample?
ABBY: I just got it two hours ago!
GIBBS: And?
ABBY: And, you can't rush science, Gibbs? You can yell at it, and scream at it, but you can't rush it.
GIBBS: How long until you have something, Abby?
ABBY: Bare minimum? Eighteen hours.

CHARLIE: All right. Let's get this party started. They had two different cameras in the main lobby. I figured you might be able to doctor one, but not both.
GIBBS: You looked at 'em?
CHARLIE: I can't watch movies alone. I stopped by Blockbuster in case those are boring - got Sleepless in Seattle...
GIBBS: Well, let's see if Laura Seager's alibi holds up.

GIBBS: Yeah.
CHARLIE: That her?
GIBBS: Yup.
CHARLIE: I don't like her shoes.
GIBBS: Two-thirty-three PM.
CHARLIE: Ducky said the time of death was what, between two and three?
GIBBS: And she's in the bank right in the middle of it. Almost exactly when she said she was there.
CHARLIE: Guess that means she's got an alibi. She couldn't have gotten from the bank to the murder site that quickly. No way she could be our killer.

KATE: Obviously Laura Seager couldn't have done it.
TONY: Two different angles, both of them lock. She entered the bank at two thirty-three PM, she left at two forty PM.
GIBBS: Only one thing we can do. Go over everything again from the beginning.
CHARLIE: Like my daddy always said, every path has its puddles.
GIBBS: You know what kind of video system the bank uses?
CHARLIE: No, why?
GIBBS: Because if it's a central system, all the time stamps'd be the same. You just have to change one.
KATE: You think she had somebody inside the bank?
GIBBS: How hard is it for an attractive woman to get a guy to do what she wants?
KATE: It's easy.
CHARLIE: Oh, that happens every day.
TONY: Ladies! I think that was a rhetorical question.
GIBBS: Charlie, can you check out the bank for me?
CHARLIE: Yeah, sure.
GIBBS: We also need to re-verify all the stops she made when she was running her errands.
CHARLIE: Well, that one's gonna cost you.
GIBBS: We need to find the murder weapon and tie it to Seager.
TONY: Yeah, I checked the federal registry, I checked purchasing records in the surrounding five states, and...
GIBBS: Well then check ten. Get me a sales receipt on the ammo. Ranger Talon is an uncommon bullet.
KATE: I'll do a full background on her.
GIBBS: Start with her parents, work forward until today. What're you waiting for?
CHARLIE: You finished these tapes?
GIBBS: No, I wanna show them to Abby. See if the shadows are consistent with the time stamps.
CHARLIE: I'll tell you, Jethro, I'd hate to be on the wrong side of the law with you.

LAURA: Special Agent Gibbs. This...must be the follow-up visit, where you have a few more questions?
GIBBS: Can I come in?
LAURA: Of course.
GIBBS: We ran down all your errands.
LAURA: Any problems.
GIBBS: Nope. Nope. In fact, if anything it was a bit too neat.
LAURA: Well, look around. It's pretty spotless, huh? One of my qualities, for better or worse, is that I'm very organized. Of course, Jimmy had another word for it.
GIBBS: Oh, I'm sure he did.
LAURA: It would make him mental. Jimmy was the kind of guy who would walk into a room, drop whatever he was carrying, and then leave a trail of clothes leading to the kitchen.
GIBBS: That one of the things you fought about?
LAURA: One of the many.
GIBBS: We did an autopsy on your husband.
LAURA: I assume that's standard.
GIBBS: Mhm. Yeah. It is. What we found wasn't.
LAURA: Do you want me to guess?
GIBBS: Found something unusual in his nose. Did a swab, found two things. Sawdust and dog hair.
LAURA: Okay...
GIBBS: You have a woodshop out back, right?
LAURA: Yeah. I told you that.
GIBBS: And from the sound of it, a dog, or two.
LAURA: Oh! You think Jimmy was here recently, even though I told you he hadn't been here in a month.
GIBBS: You can see why.
LAURA: I can. How did I do?
GIBBS: What do you mean?
LAURA: You obviously told me that to see my reaction. Look. As I said before, I have nothing to hide. I didn't kill my husband. I gave you my DNA, I don't know what more you want from me. That should be enough to clear me, isn't it? Unless...unless you have nothing to match it to and asking me was another test.

TONY: For a Navy flyer, Jimmy Seager had a lot of cash.
KATE: He inherited it from his grandfather.
TONY: No kidding? Y'know what my grandfather left me?
KATE: His button collection?
TONY: I wish. My cousin Petey got that. I got a thousand shares of stock in a dot-com company.
KATE: Well, that's more than Laura Seager would've gotten out of her divorce. She signed a lopsided prenup.
TONY: Well, I guess if he died before the divorce, the prenup wouldn't have mattered.
KATE: Sounds like a motive to me.
TONY: How'd Seager's grandfather make his money?
KATE: Imported Swiss Army Knives.
TONY: Awww. I love everything Swiss. Knives, cheese, the Alps...I even like ABBA.
KATE: ABBA's Swedish.
TONY: Nah, I don't think so. Hey boss - she crack under the pressure? I take that as a no.

GIBBS: Got your 911, Abs. What's up?
ABBY: Ready to have your world rocked again?
GIBBS: I'm barely over the first time.
ABBY: I ran Laura Seager's DNA swab. And, I got the DNA results back from the urine sample taken at the first crime scene.
GIBBS: And?
ABBY: How 'bout a drumroll?
GIBBS: Abby...
ABBY: Okay, okay. Though...it would be nice.
GIBBS: Hey!
ABBY: The DNA matched.
GIBBS: Laura Seager has an ironclad alibi.
ABBY: I know.
GIBBS: How is it possible that they could match?
ABBY: They can't. But they do.

GIBBS: We have a warrant to search your house.
LAURA: I don't understand. You said that my alibi checked out.
GIBBS: It did. For the murder of your husband.
TONY: This warrant is based on the murder of David Truly.
LAURA: I don't even know who that is.
CHARLIE: David Truly was killed on US Highway 58. Your DNA was found at the crime scene.
LAURA: That's impossible.
KATE: Not according to the lab results.
LAURA: What DNA did you find?
TONY: Well, it seems that, ah, while you were waiting for a car to come along, you had to answer nature's call.
LAURA: Women don't urinate on the side of the road. Do they, Agent Todd?
KATE: I don't.
LAURA: Someone's setting me up.
TONY: So, you're saying that someone stole your urine while you weren't looking.
LAURA: Yes!
TONY: And how exactly would they do that?
LAURA: I've given two urine samples in the last month at Oceana Base clinic, once for my annual physical, and once because Jimmy's lawyers accused me of doing drugs.
KATE: You know that's easy to check out.
LAURA: Check it out. I want you to.
GIBBS: Who's your doctor?
LAURA: Commander Margaret Green.

GIBBS: You neglected to tell me Lieutenant Seager had filed a formal grievance against you.
GREEN: I didn't think it was germane.
GIBBS: A man has been murdered, you had a grudge, and you didn't think it was germane?
GREEN: I'm a professional, Agent Gibbs, I didn't let his complaint color my behavior.
GIBBS: Maybe you should have. According to his complaint, you were sexually harassing Lieutenant Seager.
GREEN: Lieutenant Seager and I differed in our interpretation of the events that transpired.
GIBBS: What'd the review board conclude?
GREEN: Hearing hadn't been held
GIBBS: The hearing hadn't been held. Before it could be, Lieutenant Seager was killed.
GREEN: You trying to insinuate something, Agent Gibbs?
GIBBS: I don't insinuate, Commander. You treat Lieutenant Seager's wife?
GREEN: I treat a lot of people's wives.
GIBBS: Including Lieutenant Seager's.
GREEN: Including Lieutenant Seager's.
GIBBS: She recently had a physical.
GREEN: That's correct.
GIBBS: Oh, I'd like to see her medical records.
GREEN: Only her doctor is privy to those.
GIBBS: NCIS has access to all military records.
GREEN: His wife isn't military. She's a dependent.
GIBBS: Doesn't matter.
GREEN: I'll have to check on that. Might take a while.
GIBBS: Where were you between two and three PM Tuesday?
GREEN: At a medical conference.
GIBBS: Where?
GREEN: DC.

TONY: We have two great suspects.
KATE: Commander Green, because of the complaint filed against her, which would threaten her pension and her future with the Navy.
TONY: Laura Seager who'd get diddly if her divorce went through.
KATE: Green was in DC with witnesses.
TONY: Seager was in the bank on video.
KATE: How can our two great suspects both have ironclad alibis?
GIBBS: I dunno, but only one of them had DNA at the crime scene.
KATE: Well if you believe Laura Seager, then someone planted it.
TONY: Green had access to her DNA, she could've easily done it. I put my money on her.
GIBBS: Why?
TONY: The whole sexual harassment thing? That's just wrong.
KATE: That was Arlene in Records. I think I just got the answer to the mystery.

VO: Special Agent Gibbs, this is OnStar. The vehicle you're tracking is on Owl Creek Bridge.
GIBBS: Roger. You copy that, Charlie?
CHARLIE: Owl Creek Bridge, copy.
TONY: Hey boss, we made our pickup. Let's hope we get there before someone else does.

GIBBS: Put your hands where I can see them! Step out of the car. Step away! Hands behind your back. Interlace your fingers, thumbs up.

TONY: Twins. The Holy Grail of dating.
KATE: Where do you come up with this stuff?
TONY: Although, twins that kill? Not good.
KATE: I just can't imagine killing someone for your sister. I would never kill for my sister.
TONY: Yeah, you barely return her calls.
GIBBS: Identical twins, identical DNA, identical murders. One for the books.
TONY: I bet Laura was splitting the Swiss Army Knife money with Linda, that's why Linda killed her sister's husband.
TV: ...Sheriff DuPré's statement.
KATE: There's Charlie.
CHARLIE: Thank you all for coming. Before I take your questions, there is a group of people that I want to thank.
TONY: Ah, we're finally going to get some credit.
CHARLIE: They're sort of the unsung heroes in all of this.
KATE: Not when you start singing.
CHARLIE: I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the citizens of Grayson County, for putting their faith in me. I couldn't have solved this triple murder without your support. Now I'll take your questions. In the second row. Go ahead, doll.
RANDOM REPORTER: Sheriff, what was the key break in the case that allowed you to link all three murders?
GIBBS: It's an election year.
CHARLIE: There wasn't one thing, it was just a combination of good detective work, and persistence on my part.
