You want to chitchat,

Yeah, you got it, boss.Yo, Stutkowski, slow down!

Well, technically yes,

Yeah, so much more,
you have no idea.

Mm-hmm.

32
00:02:04,428 --> 00:02:07,431
We made a few calls, and we
found out who it might be.

00:02:07,475 --> 00:02:08,737
You ready for this?

00:02:08,780 --> 00:02:09,912
So ready.

Oh, yeah. Who?

00:02:15,700 --> 00:02:18,138
What do you mean who?
Are you kidding?

Uh...

Nick, how do you not know this?

00:02:28,974 --> 00:02:31,107
I don't know, I think
it's because I have a life.

45
00:02:31,151 --> 00:02:33,327
Yeah, a sheltered one.We don't have time to deal with

46
00:02:33,370 --> 00:02:35,155
your cinematic
shortcomings right now.

47
00:02:35,198 --> 00:02:37,331
You got that right.
Grab your gear.

48
00:02:37,374 --> 00:02:38,984
Got a dead Marine in Arlington.

00:02:39,028 --> 00:02:42,640
Ooh, but badges go on sale

BISHOP/McGEE:
George!

52
00:02:49,995 --> 00:02:52,781
McGEE: You're the person
in charge here, Mr. Lewis?

53
00:02:52,824 --> 00:02:54,478
Yeah, I'm the foreman.

54
00:02:54,522 --> 00:02:56,350
But my crew had nothing
to do with this.

55
00:02:56,393 --> 00:02:59,004
We broke ground on this site
just yesterday.Building what?

56
00:02:59,048 --> 00:03:01,572
The entire plot's being turned
into luxury condos.

57
00:03:01,616 --> 00:03:03,008
What was here before?

58
00:03:03,052 --> 00:03:05,620
Nothing. The land's been vacant
for almost 20 years.

59
00:03:05,663 --> 00:03:07,230
What time did you
discover the remains?

60
00:03:07,274 --> 00:03:08,536
7:45 a.m.

61
00:03:08,579 --> 00:03:11,974
The body...
you know who it is?

62
00:03:12,017 --> 00:03:13,845
Not yet.

63
00:03:13,889 --> 00:03:15,195
GIBBS:
Identification?

64
00:03:15,238 --> 00:03:19,155
No military I.D., name tag,
dog tag or wallet.

65
00:03:19,199 --> 00:03:21,592
Where is Palmer?Stuck in traffic.

66
00:03:21,636 --> 00:03:23,420
He should be here
any minute.

67
00:03:23,464 --> 00:03:25,466
But I doubt he'd be able
to give us a time of death.

68
00:03:25,509 --> 00:03:27,511
I mean, this Marine has
been dead for years.

69
00:03:27,555 --> 00:03:28,686
At least 18.

70
00:03:28,730 --> 00:03:30,122
How do you know that?

71
00:03:30,166 --> 00:03:33,256
She doesn't have any
Global War on Terror ribbons.

72
00:03:33,300 --> 00:03:34,953
Oh.[siren wailing]

73
00:03:36,128 --> 00:03:40,655
Well, should narrow it down
in the missing persons database.

74
00:03:41,569 --> 00:03:43,962
Gibbs?

75
00:03:44,006 --> 00:03:45,834
Widen the perimeter.

76
00:03:45,877 --> 00:03:48,750
I want all of this
bagged and processed.

77
00:03:48,793 --> 00:03:50,839
JIMMY:
You know, today's technology

78
00:03:50,882 --> 00:03:52,275
is advancing at
such a fast rate

79
00:03:52,319 --> 00:03:55,060
that a few years
is equivalent to a lifetime.

80
00:03:55,104 --> 00:03:58,890
Case in point... cell phones.

81
00:03:58,934 --> 00:04:00,805
These are not just for
making phone calls anymore.

82
00:04:00,849 --> 00:04:02,285
Oh, no. No, no.

83
00:04:02,329 --> 00:04:06,158
I can, uh-- I can video chat
with Breena and Victoria.

84
00:04:06,202 --> 00:04:08,900
And I can stream a show,
download music,

85
00:04:08,944 --> 00:04:10,685
film a video, read a book.

86
00:04:10,728 --> 00:04:13,253
Ah, we've accomplished so much,
yet we still can't figure out

87
00:04:13,296 --> 00:04:15,820
how to make the DMV
a pleasant experience.

88
00:04:15,864 --> 00:04:17,082
Make an appointment online.

89
00:04:17,126 --> 00:04:18,301
You can do that?

90
00:04:18,345 --> 00:04:20,347
Wait, youknow how
to do that?

91
00:04:21,565 --> 00:04:23,741
All right, moving on.

92
00:04:23,785 --> 00:04:25,917
Luckily for us,
our victim's remains

93
00:04:25,961 --> 00:04:28,268
were discovered before they were
damaged by the excavator.

94
00:04:28,311 --> 00:04:30,661
I just sent here uniform
up to Kasie for analysis.

95
00:04:30,705 --> 00:04:32,141
Cause of death?Well,

96
00:04:32,184 --> 00:04:34,404
these several cracked ribs here
do indicate a struggle,

97
00:04:34,448 --> 00:04:38,321
but the fatal blow came
in the back of the skull here.

98
00:04:38,365 --> 00:04:39,670
But the really
interesting part comes

99
00:04:39,714 --> 00:04:41,281
when we look at
the victim's teeth.

100
00:04:41,324 --> 00:04:44,414
I ran the serial number
on a surgical implant

101
00:04:44,458 --> 00:04:46,764
for her left canine incisor.

102
00:04:46,808 --> 00:04:49,419
And, Gibbs, I got a hit.

103
00:04:49,463 --> 00:04:51,291
Meet our victim,

104
00:04:51,334 --> 00:04:53,815
Major Ellen Wallace.

105
00:04:58,820 --> 00:05:01,649
NEWSCASTER:
Breaking news out of D.C.,

106
00:05:01,692 --> 00:05:03,433
Department of Defense officials

107
00:05:03,477 --> 00:05:07,176
have confirmed that among
the casualties in the attack

108
00:05:07,219 --> 00:05:09,047
was Marine Major Ellen Wallace.

109
00:05:09,091 --> 00:05:11,354
We'll continue to bring you
more information

110
00:05:11,398 --> 00:05:13,182
as it comes in.

111
00:05:20,929 --> 00:05:22,974
That's impossible.That's exactly my point.

112
00:05:23,018 --> 00:05:24,976
Ellen Wallace was not
a missing person.

113
00:05:25,020 --> 00:05:28,980
In fact, DoD listed her
as killed in action in...

114
00:05:29,024 --> 00:05:30,330
The Pentagon, on 9/11.

115
00:05:33,028 --> 00:05:37,337
Then how did her
perfectly intact remains

116
00:05:37,380 --> 00:05:40,731
find their way to a shallow
grave some 12 miles away?

117
00:05:55,572 --> 00:05:57,182
How much?

118
00:05:57,226 --> 00:06:00,185
[scoffs]
That's highway robbery.

119
00:06:00,229 --> 00:06:03,406
Fine. I hate to play
this card, but you owe me.

120
00:06:03,450 --> 00:06:08,063
No, no, I'm not threatening you.

121
00:06:08,106 --> 00:06:10,718
Oh, okay, well,
I guess we'll see.

122
00:06:10,761 --> 00:06:15,026
Mm-hmm.
Tell Mom I said hi.

123
00:06:15,070 --> 00:06:16,419
[grunts]

124
00:06:16,463 --> 00:06:17,594
What got you in a twist?

125
00:06:17,638 --> 00:06:19,030
Comic-Con badges sold out,

126
00:06:19,074 --> 00:06:21,293
and every ticket broker
or connection I have

127
00:06:21,337 --> 00:06:23,165
is 1,500 a pop.

128
00:06:23,208 --> 00:06:25,863
Dollars? For a convention?

129
00:06:25,907 --> 00:06:27,343
Who'd pay that?

130
00:06:27,387 --> 00:06:29,824
I would, if I had
that kind of cash.

131
00:06:29,867 --> 00:06:31,608
Guess what.
You don't need it.

132
00:06:31,652 --> 00:06:33,131
Why? What have you heard?

133
00:06:33,175 --> 00:06:35,699
Delilah scored three VIP badges.

134
00:06:35,743 --> 00:06:37,745
No.I am totally serious.

135
00:06:37,788 --> 00:06:39,616
Aah!

136
00:06:41,401 --> 00:06:43,011
Yeah.

137
00:06:43,054 --> 00:06:44,273
Wow.

138
00:06:44,316 --> 00:06:46,057
You know, just being
near you two,

139
00:06:46,101 --> 00:06:48,146
I can feel my
cool factor dropping.

140
00:06:48,190 --> 00:06:49,147
Give me an update.

141
00:06:49,191 --> 00:06:51,454
Let's go.All right.

142
00:06:51,498 --> 00:06:53,761
Our victim is Ellen Wallace,

143
00:06:53,804 --> 00:06:55,240
38 years old,
a major in the Marine Corps

144
00:06:55,284 --> 00:06:58,548
Public Affairs division,
stationed out of the Pentagon.

145
00:06:58,592 --> 00:07:00,550
Wallace was listed as KIA
when her office was struck

146
00:07:00,594 --> 00:07:02,552
by Flight 77 on 9/11.

147
00:07:02,596 --> 00:07:04,467
Some victims' remains
were never recovered

148
00:07:04,511 --> 00:07:05,599
in the attacks,
and she was thought

149
00:07:05,642 --> 00:07:06,904
to have been one of them.

150
00:07:06,948 --> 00:07:08,384
Her death gathered
media attention

151
00:07:08,428 --> 00:07:10,734
because she's the daughter
of General James Wallace.

152
00:07:10,778 --> 00:07:12,301
Guy's a military legend.

153
00:07:12,344 --> 00:07:15,739
He led missions in Vietnam,
Lebanon, Liberia and Iraq.

154
00:07:15,783 --> 00:07:18,438
BISHOP: Not to mention serving
as an advisor to the White House

155
00:07:18,481 --> 00:07:20,091
after his retirement in 2007.

156
00:07:20,135 --> 00:07:21,441
Yeah, I got it.

157
00:07:21,484 --> 00:07:22,616
Get back to her.

158
00:07:22,659 --> 00:07:24,922
TORRES: Well, we now know
that her remains

159
00:07:24,966 --> 00:07:26,010
were not in the Pentagon.

160
00:07:27,838 --> 00:07:28,926
She wasn't in the building.

161
00:07:28,970 --> 00:07:30,754
Well, where was she killed?

162
00:07:30,798 --> 00:07:32,103
We don't know that yet.

163
00:07:32,147 --> 00:07:33,975
Why was she killed?Well,

164
00:07:34,018 --> 00:07:36,107
we don't know that yet, either.

165
00:07:36,151 --> 00:07:38,762
Suspects?

166
00:07:38,806 --> 00:07:41,069
Well, we don't have those.

167
00:07:41,112 --> 00:07:43,419
Find out!

168
00:07:43,463 --> 00:07:46,117
Track her final movements.

169
00:07:46,161 --> 00:07:47,684
Who saw her last?

170
00:07:48,859 --> 00:07:51,993
Do your damn jobs!

171
00:07:54,952 --> 00:07:56,998
Wh-What was that about?

172
00:07:58,565 --> 00:08:00,480
AMY:
Of course I remember that day.

173
00:08:00,523 --> 00:08:04,222
When you cheat death, the
details tend to stick with you.

174
00:08:04,266 --> 00:08:06,224
You worked with
Major Ellen Wallace

175
00:08:06,268 --> 00:08:08,488
back in 2001,
Miss Tano?

176
00:08:08,531 --> 00:08:11,578
Yeah. A lifetime ago.

177
00:08:11,621 --> 00:08:15,407
I was just a green
junior officer back then,

178
00:08:15,451 --> 00:08:17,932
and Ellen was my
department head.

179
00:08:17,975 --> 00:08:19,803
She took me under her wing,

180
00:08:19,847 --> 00:08:22,284
encouraged me.

181
00:08:24,025 --> 00:08:25,766
I regret never having
thanked her for that.

182
00:08:25,809 --> 00:08:28,812
When was the last time
you saw her?

183
00:08:28,856 --> 00:08:33,382
Oh, the night of
September 10, 2001.

184
00:08:33,425 --> 00:08:35,253
We both attended
a command-wide

185
00:08:35,297 --> 00:08:37,778
"Hail and Farewell" dinner
at a restaurant in Georgetown.

186
00:08:37,821 --> 00:08:39,562
Did anything seem out
of the ordinary to you?

187
00:08:39,606 --> 00:08:40,955
No, not really.

188
00:08:40,998 --> 00:08:43,174
I mean, I could tell
Ellen was distracted.

189
00:08:43,218 --> 00:08:45,263
I assumed it was work-related
since she left the party early

190
00:08:45,307 --> 00:08:46,874
to go back to the Pentagon.

191
00:08:46,917 --> 00:08:48,571
What time was that?8:30.

192
00:08:48,615 --> 00:08:53,271
Like I said,
the details stuck with me.

193
00:08:53,315 --> 00:08:57,580
Did she ever mention ever
having issues with anyone?

194
00:08:57,624 --> 00:08:59,669
No, not directly.
Well, I did hear

195
00:08:59,713 --> 00:09:02,454
that she had a complicated
relationship with her ex-fiancé.

196
00:09:02,498 --> 00:09:05,936
So you never saw her in the
office the morning of 9/11?

197
00:09:05,980 --> 00:09:09,026
No. We were both scheduled to
attend a briefing at 1000 hours,

198
00:09:09,070 --> 00:09:12,334
but I got rear-ended on my
way in and I was running late.

199
00:09:17,078 --> 00:09:19,863
That inconvenience
ended up saving my life.

200
00:09:19,907 --> 00:09:22,387
When the plane
struck the Pentagon,

201
00:09:22,431 --> 00:09:26,827
our offices were directly hit...

202
00:09:26,870 --> 00:09:30,526
and no one else
in my division survived.

203
00:09:30,570 --> 00:09:33,050
TORRES: Why would
the DoD think that

204
00:09:33,094 --> 00:09:35,400
she was in the building
at the time of the attack?

205
00:09:35,444 --> 00:09:40,057
Because Ellen was at work
at 0730 every morning,

206
00:09:40,101 --> 00:09:44,018
and her car was found
on the premises.

207
00:09:44,061 --> 00:09:46,281
Where else could she have been?

208
00:09:51,460 --> 00:09:53,984
Last I heard, General
Wallace was retired.

209
00:09:54,028 --> 00:09:55,986
I suppose, technically speaking,

210
00:09:56,030 --> 00:09:58,815
but a Marine
never really retires.

211
00:09:58,859 --> 00:10:00,991
How long's he been a guest
lecturer at the Academy?

212
00:10:01,035 --> 00:10:03,167
I brought him on
about three years ago.

213
00:10:03,211 --> 00:10:04,995
He's a favorite
among midshipmen.

214
00:10:05,039 --> 00:10:07,084
There's a tremendous amount
that they can learn from someone

215
00:10:07,128 --> 00:10:08,695
as experienced as the general.

216
00:10:08,738 --> 00:10:10,392
Sounds like you
know him well.

217
00:10:10,435 --> 00:10:11,611
Had the pleasure
of serving

218
00:10:11,654 --> 00:10:13,613
under his command
many years ago.

219
00:10:13,656 --> 00:10:15,745
Owe my career to the man.
He's like family,

220
00:10:15,789 --> 00:10:18,269
which is why
I am concerned.

221
00:10:18,313 --> 00:10:20,358
I witnessed the toll
the death of his daughter

222
00:10:20,402 --> 00:10:22,360
took on him back in 2001.

223
00:10:22,404 --> 00:10:24,754
He shouldn't have to suffer
through that pain again.

224
00:10:24,798 --> 00:10:26,669
No one should, General.

225
00:10:26,713 --> 00:10:31,021
The military has rules
and the military gives orders,

226
00:10:31,065 --> 00:10:33,110
but what happens
when those two

227
00:10:33,154 --> 00:10:35,199
are in direct conflict
with one another?

228
00:10:35,243 --> 00:10:37,941
Combat scenario number 67:

229
00:10:37,985 --> 00:10:40,465
you're deployed to a combat zone
when your convoy

230
00:10:40,509 --> 00:10:43,947
comes upon a group of possible
Taliban insurgents.

231
00:10:43,991 --> 00:10:46,428
They haven't engaged you,
but your gut

232
00:10:46,471 --> 00:10:50,650
is telling you that things
are going to go south, and fast.

233
00:10:50,693 --> 00:10:52,477
Do you let rules dictated
in some handbook

234
00:10:52,521 --> 00:10:56,656
override your instincts,
or do you take action?

235
00:10:57,831 --> 00:11:01,008
Ticktock, ladies and gentlemen.

236
00:11:01,051 --> 00:11:03,314
Your enemies could be seconds
away from killing you.

237
00:11:03,358 --> 00:11:05,795
Do you strike first?

238
00:11:05,839 --> 00:11:07,754
GIBBS:
Negative.

239
00:11:09,886 --> 00:11:11,235
Only after the enemy

240
00:11:11,279 --> 00:11:13,498
has engaged does
a U.S. service member

241
00:11:13,542 --> 00:11:15,892
take offensive measures.

242
00:11:15,936 --> 00:11:17,894
Regulations also say
you have the right to take

243
00:11:17,938 --> 00:11:20,244
appropriate actions
to defend yourself.

244
00:11:20,288 --> 00:11:22,986
Hesitation could
cost you your life.

245
00:11:23,030 --> 00:11:27,338
Yeah, but suspicion
isn't fact, it's fear.

246
00:11:27,382 --> 00:11:29,427
Break the rules
of engagement,

247
00:11:29,471 --> 00:11:32,169
you've already lost.

248
00:11:32,213 --> 00:11:35,172
Right answer.

249
00:11:35,216 --> 00:11:38,045
I should see you all
writing that down.

250
00:11:41,483 --> 00:11:43,920
Should've known
NCIS wouldn't show up here

251
00:11:43,964 --> 00:11:45,574
to deliver good news.

252
00:11:45,617 --> 00:11:47,837
Occupational hazard, General.

253
00:11:47,881 --> 00:11:50,013
While I appreciate you
telling me in person, Gibbs,

254
00:11:50,057 --> 00:11:53,016
I can't say that makes it
any easier to hear.

255
00:11:53,060 --> 00:11:56,237
Give it
to me straight.

256
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,066
What happened to my daughter?

257
00:12:03,897 --> 00:12:06,334
The investigation's ongoing.

258
00:12:06,377 --> 00:12:07,770
We're looking into it.

259
00:12:07,814 --> 00:12:09,293
You're looking into it?

260
00:12:09,337 --> 00:12:11,034
Someone murdered

261
00:12:11,078 --> 00:12:12,732
my little girl
and has gotten away with it

262
00:12:12,775 --> 00:12:14,559
for the past 18 years.

263
00:12:14,603 --> 00:12:16,953
I want him found.General.

264
00:12:16,997 --> 00:12:19,521
I'm on it.

265
00:12:22,045 --> 00:12:25,222
Of all my regrets in life,
not having more time for Ellen

266
00:12:25,266 --> 00:12:26,789
is at the top of the list.

267
00:12:26,833 --> 00:12:29,357
You know what my last words
to her were?

268
00:12:30,619 --> 00:12:33,491
"We'll talk later,
I'm running late."

269
00:12:34,754 --> 00:12:36,538
When was that?

270
00:12:36,581 --> 00:12:38,888
The night of September 10th
in the Pentagon.

271
00:12:38,932 --> 00:12:42,413
I passed by her office
on my way out around 2300 hours.

272
00:12:42,457 --> 00:12:44,807
Not being late to drinks
with a colleague

273
00:12:44,851 --> 00:12:49,638
was more important than talking
to my own daughter.

274
00:12:49,681 --> 00:12:51,858
Regret is a...Yeah.

275
00:12:51,901 --> 00:12:53,207
It's a son of a bitch.

276
00:12:56,471 --> 00:12:58,299
[sighs]

277
00:12:59,517 --> 00:13:02,825
You see this through
to the end, Gibbs.

278
00:13:04,174 --> 00:13:06,437
No matter what.

279
00:13:08,613 --> 00:13:10,398
Understood.

280
00:13:10,441 --> 00:13:13,444
These are the most disorganized
bins I have ever seen.

281
00:13:13,488 --> 00:13:16,447
I could go full
Marie Kondo on these.

282
00:13:16,491 --> 00:13:18,101
Okay, you're a little
too excited

283
00:13:18,145 --> 00:13:20,451
about some dusty containers.

284
00:13:20,495 --> 00:13:23,063
Oh! Floppy disks.

285
00:13:23,106 --> 00:13:25,282
Cool!

286
00:13:25,326 --> 00:13:26,849
Ooh, look who's a little

287
00:13:26,893 --> 00:13:28,633
"too excited" now.Oh, come on.

288
00:13:28,677 --> 00:13:30,984
These things are relics. Ugh.

289
00:13:31,027 --> 00:13:33,595
[inhales, exhales]

290
00:13:33,638 --> 00:13:35,423
I feel just like Dr. Grant

291
00:13:35,466 --> 00:13:38,339
when he first sees the
Brachiosaurus in Jurassic Park.

292
00:13:38,382 --> 00:13:39,819
You mean Brontosaurus?

293
00:13:39,862 --> 00:13:41,995
Uh, no. You don't want
to go toe-to-toe with me

294
00:13:42,038 --> 00:13:44,780
on some JPtrivia.

295
00:13:44,824 --> 00:13:46,651
[sighs]

296
00:13:46,695 --> 00:13:48,088
This is sad, isn't it?

297
00:13:48,131 --> 00:13:50,133
I mean, the contents
of these bins

298
00:13:50,177 --> 00:13:54,659
are all that's left of Ellen
Wallace, and they were just

299
00:13:54,703 --> 00:13:57,880
sitting in a storage unit.Ah, well,

300
00:13:57,924 --> 00:13:59,708
they say you can
learn a lot about someone

301
00:13:59,751 --> 00:14:01,318
based on what they leave behind.

302
00:14:01,362 --> 00:14:03,364
Wonder what we'll learn
from her things.

303
00:14:03,407 --> 00:14:06,323
Uh, well,

304
00:14:06,367 --> 00:14:10,110
how about the identity
of her ex-fiancé?

305
00:14:10,153 --> 00:14:13,026
Oh, yeah, that's a start.Mm-hmm.

306
00:14:13,069 --> 00:14:16,159
KASIE:
Wait, is that Gibbs?

307
00:14:16,203 --> 00:14:17,987
And a hot Gibbs?

308
00:14:18,031 --> 00:14:20,860
Yeah, Gibbs didn't just know
Ellen Wallace,

309
00:14:20,903 --> 00:14:22,731
he was engaged to her.

310
00:14:35,526 --> 00:14:37,180
Do you agree
with the Pentagon's decision

311
00:14:37,224 --> 00:14:40,227
to prevent women from serving
on the front lines?

312
00:14:40,270 --> 00:14:43,056
As a Marine, it is my duty
to serve my country

313
00:14:43,099 --> 00:14:45,623
and to follow the orders
of my chain of command.

314
00:14:45,667 --> 00:14:47,625
That being said,
it's been my experience

315
00:14:47,669 --> 00:14:50,193
that there is no gender
distinction when it comes

316
00:14:50,237 --> 00:14:53,936
to the capabilities and courage
of our military service members.

317
00:14:53,980 --> 00:14:55,459
I believe that any Marine
who meets

318
00:14:55,503 --> 00:14:57,287
the physical and mental
qualifications deserves

319
00:14:57,331 --> 00:14:58,941
the same consideration.

320
00:14:58,985 --> 00:15:01,857
Equal rights
are not special rights.

321
00:15:03,815 --> 00:15:05,643
She was engaged to Gibbs?

322
00:15:05,687 --> 00:15:08,646
How could Gibbs not tell us that
he was engaged to the victim?

323
00:15:08,690 --> 00:15:11,475
Are you kidding? Gibbs never
talks about his personal life.

324
00:15:11,519 --> 00:15:13,956
Hmm.We only find out about it
when it's part of a case.

325
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,088
Hold up.
This has happened before?

326
00:15:15,131 --> 00:15:16,611
Exhibit A.

327
00:15:16,654 --> 00:15:19,614
BISHOP:
Ah, the Gibbs' wives club.

328
00:15:19,657 --> 00:15:20,963
Uh...

329
00:15:21,007 --> 00:15:22,660
I'm sorry, Gibbs
was married

330
00:15:22,704 --> 00:15:25,446
four times? What, does he have
a marriage punch card

331
00:15:25,489 --> 00:15:27,274
and the fifth one is free?BISHOP:
He had to know

332
00:15:27,317 --> 00:15:28,840
that we would figure it out.

333
00:15:28,884 --> 00:15:30,973
Do we tell him we know,
or do we wait for him to say

334
00:15:31,017 --> 00:15:33,106
that he knows that we know?

335
00:15:33,149 --> 00:15:35,064
Since we don't know if it's
relevant to the case yet,

336
00:15:35,108 --> 00:15:37,110
we leave it alone, for now.

337
00:15:37,153 --> 00:15:38,676
Agreed.Agreed.

338
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:39,939
Ooh. Incoming.

339
00:15:39,982 --> 00:15:41,592
[Bishop clears throat]

340
00:15:41,636 --> 00:15:42,637
Hey, Gibbs.

341
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,291
What do we know?On the night

342
00:15:44,334 --> 00:15:46,946
of September 10, 2001,
Ellen was seen

343
00:15:46,989 --> 00:15:49,557
at a command-wide Hail
and Farewell in Georgetown

344
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,038
by her former
coworker Amy Tano.

345
00:15:52,081 --> 00:15:55,041
Now, Tano said Ellen left around
2030 hours for the Pentagon.

346
00:15:55,084 --> 00:15:56,868
TORRES:
This was confirmed
by General Wallace.

347
00:15:56,912 --> 00:16:01,047
He said he saw Ellen in her
office at 2300 hours that night.

348
00:16:01,090 --> 00:16:03,266
So far, he's the last person
to have seen Ellen alive.

349
00:16:03,310 --> 00:16:05,181
GIBBS: Bishop,
Torres, verify

350
00:16:05,225 --> 00:16:08,576
Pentagon access codes,
9/10, 9/11.

351
00:16:08,619 --> 00:16:11,448
Pinpoint when she
left the building.

352
00:16:11,492 --> 00:16:14,190
On it.McGee, look into
her phone records.

353
00:16:14,234 --> 00:16:16,584
Find out who
she was communicating with.

354
00:16:18,934 --> 00:16:20,283
Boss, is that all?

355
00:16:20,327 --> 00:16:21,893
Is there...

356
00:16:21,937 --> 00:16:23,634
nothing more
you want to tell me?

357
00:16:23,678 --> 00:16:25,245
No.

358
00:16:26,463 --> 00:16:28,552
Okay.

359
00:16:28,596 --> 00:16:31,120
[keyboard clicking]

360
00:16:31,164 --> 00:16:33,993
[Taylor laughs]

361
00:16:37,605 --> 00:16:40,651
Hey, did we say something funny?Oh, no, I just, um,

362
00:16:40,695 --> 00:16:43,959
I thought that you asked me
to piece together

363
00:16:44,003 --> 00:16:46,396
the corrupted data
of a security system

364
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:50,052
that was definitely destroyed
18 years ago.

365
00:16:50,096 --> 00:16:52,011
Yeah. That is what we're asking.

366
00:16:53,055 --> 00:16:55,014
I'm sorry, um...

367
00:16:55,057 --> 00:16:58,104
Do you have any idea how complex
that request is?

368
00:16:58,147 --> 00:16:59,540
Like, let alone

369
00:16:59,583 --> 00:17:01,020
the specialized manpower
that would be needed

370
00:17:01,063 --> 00:17:03,805
to get it to you by... by when?

371
00:17:03,848 --> 00:17:05,372
24 hours.

372
00:17:07,287 --> 00:17:09,202
48 hours.

373
00:17:09,245 --> 00:17:11,856
No. At first, I thought
this was funny,

374
00:17:11,900 --> 00:17:14,729
but this is just annoying.

375
00:17:14,772 --> 00:17:16,296
TORRES: How about
an incentive,

376
00:17:16,339 --> 00:17:17,949
to expedite things?

377
00:17:17,993 --> 00:17:20,039
Like what, Freckles?

378
00:17:20,082 --> 00:17:22,084
Three VIP badges
to Comic-Con.

379
00:17:22,128 --> 00:17:23,303
What?What?

380
00:17:23,346 --> 00:17:26,001
What? W-What? Um...
[clears throat]

381
00:17:26,045 --> 00:17:27,785
If you're scamming
me right now,

382
00:17:27,829 --> 00:17:30,484
I will put you
on a watch list so fast.

383
00:17:30,527 --> 00:17:32,051
100% legit.
What do you say?

384
00:17:32,094 --> 00:17:33,835
No, no, no. Hold on.
That-- we're not...

385
00:17:33,878 --> 00:17:35,924
Deal. Done. Yes. Ooh!
Call you when I have something.

386
00:17:35,967 --> 00:17:37,404
[laughs]

387
00:17:37,447 --> 00:17:38,970
[inhales sharply]

388
00:17:39,014 --> 00:17:41,799
You are in for a world of hurt.

389
00:17:41,843 --> 00:17:43,192
KASIE:
Not finding anything

390
00:17:43,236 --> 00:17:45,412
in Ellen Wallace's
home phone records.

391
00:17:45,455 --> 00:17:49,416
Just a bunch of AOL
dial-up connections. Ooh.

392
00:17:49,459 --> 00:17:51,505
Now, that is something
I haven't said in years.

393
00:17:51,548 --> 00:17:53,115
Any luck with her office line?

394
00:17:53,159 --> 00:17:55,683
Nope. Nothing yet.How about cell phone records?

395
00:17:55,726 --> 00:17:58,294
Didn't have one.Ah. A disinterest
in mobile technology.

396
00:17:58,338 --> 00:18:01,123
Well, that's at least something
she had in common with Gibbs.

397
00:18:01,167 --> 00:18:04,126
Well, they weren't commonplace
in 2001 like they are today.

398
00:18:04,170 --> 00:18:07,303
Ugh. Tell me about it.
You know, I had a six-year-old

399
00:18:07,347 --> 00:18:10,480
run right into me
while he was texting last week?

400
00:18:10,524 --> 00:18:13,135
So I told him to put
the phone down and go play.

401
00:18:13,179 --> 00:18:16,443
Man, you know, he stepped on
my foot and told me to shut up.

402
00:18:16,486 --> 00:18:19,620
Just, the whole "joy
of children" concept, just...

403
00:18:19,663 --> 00:18:21,709
lost on me.

404
00:18:23,319 --> 00:18:25,147
Earth to McGee.

405
00:18:25,191 --> 00:18:26,453
What?

406
00:18:26,496 --> 00:18:27,976
Did you find something?

407
00:18:28,019 --> 00:18:30,457
Um, I'm not sure.[computer beeps]

408
00:18:30,500 --> 00:18:32,459
Ooh. Hold that thought.

409
00:18:32,502 --> 00:18:36,550
That is the blood analysis
from Ellen Wallace's uniform.

410
00:18:39,553 --> 00:18:42,164
Uh, McGee?

411
00:18:42,208 --> 00:18:43,731
We got a problem.

412
00:18:43,774 --> 00:18:46,081
There were two separate
blood profiles

413
00:18:46,125 --> 00:18:48,170
found on her clothing.

414
00:18:48,214 --> 00:18:50,172
Jimmy said there were
signs of a struggle.

415
00:18:50,216 --> 00:18:52,174
The second profile
could be the killer's.

416
00:18:52,218 --> 00:18:54,002
Yeah, I really hope not,

417
00:18:54,045 --> 00:18:56,439
because it's a match to Gibbs.

418
00:18:58,006 --> 00:19:01,618
How'd his blood get
on her uniform?

419
00:19:01,662 --> 00:19:04,447
You do realize what this means.

420
00:19:34,173 --> 00:19:35,304
Yeah, I'd get the knife
from Gibbs

421
00:19:35,348 --> 00:19:38,220
before interrogating him,
if I were you.

422
00:19:38,264 --> 00:19:39,482
Why are you looking at me?

423
00:19:39,526 --> 00:19:41,092
I'm not going in there.

424
00:19:41,136 --> 00:19:42,529
Good luck, Bishop.

425
00:19:42,572 --> 00:19:44,705
Oh, no, nice try.

426
00:19:44,748 --> 00:19:48,578
No, I've cheated death
a few too many times recently.

427
00:19:48,622 --> 00:19:50,319
Show us how it's done, McGee.

428
00:19:50,363 --> 00:19:51,973
No. Pass.

429
00:19:52,016 --> 00:19:53,888
You're senior field agent.

430
00:19:53,931 --> 00:19:55,629
Which is exactly
why I should be supervising

431
00:19:55,672 --> 00:19:57,108
and observing
Gibbs' questioning.

432
00:19:57,152 --> 00:19:59,546
Oh, for the love of God.

433
00:20:06,466 --> 00:20:08,381
SLOANE:
Okay.

434
00:20:08,424 --> 00:20:11,035
You know how this goes, Gibbs,
so let's skip

435
00:20:11,079 --> 00:20:14,343
the interrogation dance and get
this over with, shall we?

436
00:20:14,387 --> 00:20:15,562
Gladly.

437
00:20:17,259 --> 00:20:19,696
Tell me about your relationship
with Ellen Wallace.

438
00:20:22,743 --> 00:20:24,266
She was an ex.

439
00:20:24,310 --> 00:20:26,268
You mean, uh, ex-fiancée.

440
00:20:26,312 --> 00:20:29,445
Ex is an ex.How'd you meet?

441
00:20:29,489 --> 00:20:31,099
[exhales]

442
00:20:31,142 --> 00:20:33,449
Complicated.Why did you break it off?

443
00:20:33,493 --> 00:20:35,538
More complicated.

444
00:20:35,582 --> 00:20:37,453
Did it end on good terms?

445
00:20:38,498 --> 00:20:40,282
Does it ever?

446
00:20:40,326 --> 00:20:41,631
Good point.

447
00:20:41,675 --> 00:20:43,198
It's like watching
John McEnroe

448
00:20:43,242 --> 00:20:45,200
and Jimmy Connors
at Wimbledon.

449
00:20:45,244 --> 00:20:47,811
That is the whitest thing
I've ever heard.

450
00:20:47,855 --> 00:20:49,770
Why hide that you knew
the victim?

451
00:20:49,813 --> 00:20:52,251
It wasn't relevant.

452
00:20:52,294 --> 00:20:56,167
Your blood at the crime scene
makes it relevant.

453
00:20:57,734 --> 00:20:59,823
Look, Gibbs, come on,
work with me here.

454
00:20:59,867 --> 00:21:02,957
'Cause I sure as hell know
you didn't kill Major Wallace.

455
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,263
Then why am I sitting here?

456
00:21:04,306 --> 00:21:07,483
Because we need answers
that only you can give.

457
00:21:07,527 --> 00:21:10,660
Like how did your blood
get on Ellen's uniform?

458
00:21:16,362 --> 00:21:18,059
[grunts]

459
00:21:21,062 --> 00:21:22,324
ELLEN:
Oh.

460
00:21:22,368 --> 00:21:23,717
Let me see.

461
00:21:25,545 --> 00:21:27,155
[sighs]

462
00:21:27,198 --> 00:21:28,635
Oh, that's gonna stain.

463
00:21:28,678 --> 00:21:30,811
It's a good thing I was here,

464
00:21:30,854 --> 00:21:32,726
otherwise this hand
might be a goner.

465
00:21:36,469 --> 00:21:38,688
[chuckles]

466
00:21:38,732 --> 00:21:41,561
[chuckles] There.

467
00:21:43,345 --> 00:21:45,347
That should do it.

468
00:21:45,391 --> 00:21:47,306
You'll get my bill in the mail.

469
00:21:49,351 --> 00:21:52,049
SLOANE:
Were you with Ellen
when she died?

470
00:21:52,093 --> 00:21:54,225
No.

471
00:21:54,269 --> 00:21:56,924
When was the last time
you two had contact?

472
00:21:57,925 --> 00:22:00,101
Two months prior to 9/11.

473
00:22:01,755 --> 00:22:04,105
Satisfied?

474
00:22:06,107 --> 00:22:08,109
You didn't catch it, did you?

475
00:22:09,763 --> 00:22:12,722
I asked why you broke it off
and you didn't correct me.

476
00:22:12,766 --> 00:22:14,245
It's interesting.

477
00:22:14,289 --> 00:22:15,812
All of your previous

478
00:22:15,856 --> 00:22:19,294
failed relationships
have one thing in common.

479
00:22:19,338 --> 00:22:21,992
Your exes all ended things.

480
00:22:22,036 --> 00:22:25,605
But that wasn't the
case with Ellen.

481
00:22:25,648 --> 00:22:27,607
She was different, wasn't she?

482
00:22:30,174 --> 00:22:31,785
Tell me why.

483
00:22:37,965 --> 00:22:40,663
Uh, Gibbs?

484
00:22:45,886 --> 00:22:48,149
Move, McGee.Can't do that, boss.

485
00:22:48,192 --> 00:22:49,846
Your interrogation's not over.

486
00:22:49,890 --> 00:22:51,935
Yes, it is.No, it's not.

487
00:22:51,979 --> 00:22:54,851
It's over when you
quit lying to us.

488
00:22:54,895 --> 00:22:57,245
You said you hadn't had contact
with Ellen in two months.

489
00:22:57,288 --> 00:22:58,855
I've got phone records

490
00:22:58,899 --> 00:23:00,814
that show that she made
a two-minute call

491
00:23:00,857 --> 00:23:02,903
to your house the last night
she was seen alive.

492
00:23:02,946 --> 00:23:04,774
So what'd you two talk about?

493
00:23:07,255 --> 00:23:08,996
I said we didn't.

494
00:23:09,039 --> 00:23:10,432
You know that's not
good enough, boss.

495
00:23:10,476 --> 00:23:11,999
Hell it ain't.

496
00:23:12,042 --> 00:23:14,001
You're off the case.

497
00:23:20,007 --> 00:23:21,400
What did you say?

498
00:23:21,443 --> 00:23:23,576
I said you're off the case.

499
00:23:23,619 --> 00:23:25,273
Go home, Gibbs.

500
00:23:37,328 --> 00:23:39,330
[exhales]

501
00:23:53,344 --> 00:23:55,912
Is staring
at this helping?

502
00:23:55,956 --> 00:23:57,914
Just running through
things in my head.

503
00:23:57,958 --> 00:24:00,874
How about
verbalizing them?

504
00:24:00,917 --> 00:24:02,441
With you?
Mm-hmm.

505
00:24:02,484 --> 00:24:04,573
Sure, I can do that.
You know why?

506
00:24:04,617 --> 00:24:06,923
Because I respect the people
that I work with.

507
00:24:06,967 --> 00:24:08,577
Unlike some people.

508
00:24:08,621 --> 00:24:11,275
Ah, "some people"
being Gibbs.

509
00:24:11,319 --> 00:24:14,583
16 years. Gibbs has known me
for 16 years

510
00:24:14,627 --> 00:24:17,412
and he still doesn't trust me.I don't know about that.

511
00:24:17,456 --> 00:24:19,066
I mean, I understand
that Gibbs likes being

512
00:24:19,109 --> 00:24:21,460
a closed book,
I get that, okay?

513
00:24:21,503 --> 00:24:24,463
But I'm trying to help him and
he refuses to be honest with me.

514
00:24:24,506 --> 00:24:26,334
Did I mention the 16 years part?

515
00:24:26,377 --> 00:24:28,902
You did.Good, 'cause it bears repeating.

516
00:24:28,945 --> 00:24:30,947
Mm.More like 16 and a half.

517
00:24:30,991 --> 00:24:33,559
Hey, Tim, you have every right

518
00:24:33,602 --> 00:24:36,605
to feel frustrated,
but you got one thing wrong.

519
00:24:36,649 --> 00:24:38,520
Gibbs does trust you.

520
00:24:38,564 --> 00:24:40,304
[scoffs]More than anyone,
think about it.

521
00:24:40,348 --> 00:24:42,785
This case is personal for him.

522
00:24:42,829 --> 00:24:45,701
Would he have left if
he didn't trust you?

523
00:24:45,745 --> 00:24:48,791
Listen, we all deal
with things differently.

524
00:24:48,835 --> 00:24:50,837
Gibbs' way isn't perfect,

525
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,665
but it gets him through
and he...

526
00:24:52,708 --> 00:24:54,275
I know, I know.
He's got to get there

527
00:24:54,318 --> 00:24:55,929
on his own.Precisely.

528
00:24:55,972 --> 00:24:57,408
But that doesn't mean

529
00:24:57,452 --> 00:25:00,368
you can't lead him
in the right direction.

530
00:25:02,762 --> 00:25:04,198
BISHOP: Wait, it's
been less than 24 hours.

531
00:25:04,241 --> 00:25:05,547
How do you have
something already?

532
00:25:05,591 --> 00:25:07,418
Looks like my
incentive worked.

533
00:25:07,462 --> 00:25:09,377
Three tickets to loser-con,
as promised.

534
00:25:09,420 --> 00:25:11,074
Ooh-ho-ho-ho.

535
00:25:11,118 --> 00:25:12,423
Yeah, this helped,

536
00:25:12,467 --> 00:25:15,383
but I am also
just good at my job.

537
00:25:15,426 --> 00:25:18,125
That's, like, why they pay me
the big GS-14 bucks, so...

538
00:25:18,168 --> 00:25:20,040
14? What do you mean, 14?

539
00:25:20,083 --> 00:25:22,651
How do you have
a higher pay grade than me?

540
00:25:22,695 --> 00:25:24,261
You're not even
old enough to rent a car.

541
00:25:24,305 --> 00:25:27,003
Uh, no, but I could
just buy one, so...BISHOP: Okay.

542
00:25:27,047 --> 00:25:29,005
Can we get back on track here?Mm-hmm.

543
00:25:29,049 --> 00:25:31,007
What'd you find?Yeah, so...

544
00:25:31,051 --> 00:25:33,836
because most of the Pentagon's
systems were damaged

545
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,969
during the terror attack,
I was able to access

546
00:25:36,012 --> 00:25:38,667
an encrypted file;
it was on an old backup server

547
00:25:38,711 --> 00:25:41,104
and it was last
updated at 0800

548
00:25:41,148 --> 00:25:42,671
the morning of 9/11.

549
00:25:42,715 --> 00:25:44,020
So does it list
Ellen Wallace

550
00:25:44,064 --> 00:25:45,587
entering and exiting
the building?Yeah.

551
00:25:45,631 --> 00:25:47,633
Uh, we have her...

552
00:25:47,676 --> 00:25:50,679
scanning in at 2200 hours
the night of September 10th,

553
00:25:50,723 --> 00:25:53,769
and there is no record
of her ever leaving.

554
00:25:53,813 --> 00:25:55,597
Maybe she, uh, left
and forgot to scan out.

555
00:25:55,641 --> 00:25:57,381
That's not possible.
The Pentagon's points of entry

556
00:25:57,425 --> 00:25:59,296
are all one-for-ones,
so can't get in or out

557
00:25:59,340 --> 00:26:00,646
without scanning your I.D.

558
00:26:00,689 --> 00:26:02,038
So, according to our
logs, Ellen Wallace

559
00:26:02,082 --> 00:26:04,475
should have still been
inside the building

560
00:26:04,519 --> 00:26:05,651
the morning of 9/11.

561
00:26:05,694 --> 00:26:07,391
But she wasn't.

562
00:26:07,435 --> 00:26:09,698
Mm-mm, because her body
was moved.

563
00:26:09,742 --> 00:26:11,352
Ellen was killed
inside the Pentagon

564
00:26:11,395 --> 00:26:13,136
that night and then
taken off-site.

565
00:26:13,180 --> 00:26:16,400
So, our killer...
has to be someone

566
00:26:16,444 --> 00:26:18,533
who worked
in the building with her.

567
00:26:18,577 --> 00:26:20,404
How many?

568
00:26:20,448 --> 00:26:23,016
That's 18,482.

569
00:26:23,059 --> 00:26:27,934
Ooh. But it
does eliminate
one suspect.

570
00:26:36,072 --> 00:26:37,900
Thought I locked the door.

571
00:26:37,944 --> 00:26:40,511
I know how to use
my knife, too.

572
00:26:44,515 --> 00:26:46,169
Since you've been
ignoring my calls,

573
00:26:46,213 --> 00:26:48,084
thought I would come
down here and tell you

574
00:26:48,128 --> 00:26:51,087
that you've been
cleared as a suspect.

575
00:26:51,131 --> 00:26:53,089
Not that any of us
thought you were guilty.

576
00:26:53,133 --> 00:26:54,743
Just enough to throw me
off the case.

577
00:26:54,787 --> 00:26:56,615
You got yourself
thrown off the case.

578
00:26:56,658 --> 00:26:58,747
I did exactly what you would do.

579
00:26:58,791 --> 00:27:00,923
Unless, of course,
you burned more

580
00:27:00,967 --> 00:27:02,621
of those rules
that I should know about?

581
00:27:04,057 --> 00:27:05,536
You know, I don't get it.

582
00:27:05,580 --> 00:27:07,016
After all these years,

583
00:27:07,060 --> 00:27:08,539
after everything
we've been through...

584
00:27:09,802 --> 00:27:11,455
...I'm still here with you.

585
00:27:11,499 --> 00:27:13,457
Ah, it's your choice.No, that's not gonna

586
00:27:13,501 --> 00:27:14,633
work on me, Gibbs.

587
00:27:14,676 --> 00:27:15,851
You think
that we don't know

588
00:27:15,895 --> 00:27:17,331
why you keep us
at a distance?

589
00:27:17,374 --> 00:27:18,767
It's not a mystery.

590
00:27:18,811 --> 00:27:20,769
Get to the point, McGee.Ellen was
important to you,

591
00:27:20,813 --> 00:27:22,249
but we can't solve this case

592
00:27:22,292 --> 00:27:23,685
unless you tell us everything
that happened.

593
00:27:23,729 --> 00:27:25,208
I already did.No, you didn't.

594
00:27:25,252 --> 00:27:26,819
You didn't tell us about
the conversation

595
00:27:26,862 --> 00:27:28,690
you had with her
the night she was killed.

596
00:27:28,734 --> 00:27:31,084
Now, whatever Ellen said during
that call could point us

597
00:27:31,127 --> 00:27:32,694
to who was after her.

598
00:27:32,738 --> 00:27:34,435
And I'm not leaving
till I get an answer, Gibbs.

599
00:27:34,478 --> 00:27:35,784
What did you two talk about?

600
00:27:38,134 --> 00:27:40,833
We didn't talk!

601
00:27:42,965 --> 00:27:44,924
[exhales]

602
00:27:44,967 --> 00:27:46,969
[phone ringing]

603
00:27:54,977 --> 00:27:56,457
[beeps]

604
00:27:56,500 --> 00:27:59,155
ELLEN:
Jethro, it's me.

605
00:27:59,199 --> 00:28:01,767
I know we haven't spoken
since...

606
00:28:01,810 --> 00:28:04,117
well, it's been a while.

607
00:28:05,161 --> 00:28:07,076
I've thought a lot about you.

608
00:28:07,120 --> 00:28:08,730
Wondered how you were doing.

609
00:28:11,124 --> 00:28:12,908
Something's come up.

610
00:28:12,952 --> 00:28:14,910
It's important.

611
00:28:14,954 --> 00:28:17,739
We need to talk.
If you're there, pick up.

612
00:28:19,393 --> 00:28:21,090
Please.

613
00:28:23,092 --> 00:28:25,051
[beeps]

614
00:28:25,094 --> 00:28:26,792
GIBBS:
I didn't answer the phone.

615
00:28:26,835 --> 00:28:30,839
And I didn't
call her back either.

616
00:28:30,883 --> 00:28:32,667
Why not?

617
00:28:32,711 --> 00:28:35,235
I thought that she wanted
to talk about us.

618
00:28:39,456 --> 00:28:42,459
She was asking...
for me to help.

619
00:28:43,460 --> 00:28:45,636
Asking for my help.

620
00:28:49,684 --> 00:28:52,078
I didn't pick up the damn phone.

621
00:28:53,688 --> 00:28:55,646
Boss, you didn't kill Ellen.

622
00:28:55,690 --> 00:28:58,780
I didn't save her, either.

623
00:29:04,830 --> 00:29:06,657
Maybe I could have.

624
00:29:10,139 --> 00:29:13,316
Then don't make
the same mistake twice.

625
00:29:17,277 --> 00:29:19,540
Ellen still needs
your help, boss.

626
00:29:22,935 --> 00:29:24,153
So do we.

627
00:29:38,341 --> 00:29:40,343
[sighs]

628
00:29:41,867 --> 00:29:43,694
Oh, please don't crash.

629
00:29:43,738 --> 00:29:45,609
Oh, please don't crash,
please don't crash.

630
00:29:45,653 --> 00:29:47,655
Hold the phone.

631
00:29:47,698 --> 00:29:50,527
Is that an
IBM ThinkPad 240X?

632
00:29:50,571 --> 00:29:53,356
You've seen
one of these things before?I had one of these.

633
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:54,836
Like 20 years ago.

634
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,447
Oh, this baby came fully loaded
with 64 megs of RAM,

635
00:29:57,491 --> 00:30:00,276
an Intel Celeron 300
Pentium III processor

636
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,278
that clocked in
at 500 megahertz...

637
00:30:02,322 --> 00:30:03,845
And look.
[laughs]

638
00:30:03,889 --> 00:30:05,281
I mean, come on.

639
00:30:05,325 --> 00:30:07,675
That is the flying
toaster screensaver.

640
00:30:09,198 --> 00:30:12,854
You don't seem nearly
as excited about this.I was. Two hours

641
00:30:12,898 --> 00:30:14,725
and multiple system crashes ago.

642
00:30:14,769 --> 00:30:17,163
Oh, did the victim's laptop
give us anything?

643
00:30:17,206 --> 00:30:19,643
Oh, I found
a private e-mail address

644
00:30:19,687 --> 00:30:21,689
Ellen had been using
on the side.

645
00:30:21,732 --> 00:30:24,692
To do what?Well, the only thing she was
using this account for

646
00:30:24,735 --> 00:30:27,564
was to communicate meet-up times
and locations with another user

647
00:30:27,608 --> 00:30:30,829
named EyesnEars257.

648
00:30:30,872 --> 00:30:32,874
"East Potomac Park at noon."

649
00:30:32,918 --> 00:30:35,964
Now, that e-mail was sent
September 10, 2001,

650
00:30:36,008 --> 00:30:39,228
the day our victim
was last seen alive.Okay, so are you able

651
00:30:39,272 --> 00:30:41,578
to find out the identity
of her mystery contact?

652
00:30:41,622 --> 00:30:42,884
Not on this thing.

653
00:30:42,928 --> 00:30:44,843
No. [exhales]

654
00:30:44,886 --> 00:30:47,236
Time to watch the magic happen.

655
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,370
Secret e-mail address,

656
00:30:50,413 --> 00:30:53,242
clandestine rendezvous...

657
00:30:53,286 --> 00:30:55,201
Ellen Wallace,
what were you mixed up in?

658
00:30:56,811 --> 00:30:58,378
Oh, and it crashed.

659
00:30:59,727 --> 00:31:01,555
Am I being recorded?

660
00:31:03,078 --> 00:31:05,646
You have to tell me
if this is being recorded.

661
00:31:07,213 --> 00:31:08,605
It's the law.

662
00:31:09,780 --> 00:31:12,218
You seem a little
paranoid, Mr. Morrison.

663
00:31:12,261 --> 00:31:14,220
I'm a journalist who was
grabbed out of his office

664
00:31:14,263 --> 00:31:15,961
by two federal agents
and brought into

665
00:31:16,004 --> 00:31:17,397
an interrogation room.

666
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:21,227
Paranoia is warranted
in this situation.

667
00:31:21,270 --> 00:31:24,404
All right, I didn't grab,
I guided.

668
00:31:24,447 --> 00:31:26,710
And this is a conference room,
not interrogation.

669
00:31:26,754 --> 00:31:28,843
You tell us what we need to know

670
00:31:28,887 --> 00:31:30,584
and you won't be seeing
the real thing.

671
00:31:30,627 --> 00:31:32,760
TORRES:
Does the username

672
00:31:32,803 --> 00:31:35,197
"EyesnEars257"
ring a bell?

673
00:31:35,241 --> 00:31:38,026
It was my old e-mail log-in.

674
00:31:38,070 --> 00:31:40,507
I used that account
as a tip line

675
00:31:40,550 --> 00:31:43,510
back when I first got started
in investigative reporting.

676
00:31:43,553 --> 00:31:47,427
Haven't accessed it in 15 years.

677
00:31:47,470 --> 00:31:49,298
What was your connection
to Ellen Wallace?

678
00:31:51,300 --> 00:31:54,260
Ellen?

679
00:31:54,303 --> 00:31:55,914
What's this all about?

680
00:31:55,957 --> 00:31:57,132
You first.

681
00:32:00,222 --> 00:32:03,573
Ellen and I worked together
on an investigation.

682
00:32:03,617 --> 00:32:04,966
Into what?

683
00:32:05,010 --> 00:32:09,057
A 1998 attack in Kosovo.

684
00:32:10,493 --> 00:32:13,627
Rebel soldiers were blamed
for the deaths

685
00:32:13,670 --> 00:32:15,629
of multiple civilians,

686
00:32:15,672 --> 00:32:19,981
but I found a Marine eyewitness

687
00:32:20,025 --> 00:32:22,853
who said it was the fault
of U.S. forces.

688
00:32:24,812 --> 00:32:26,596
Ellen was helping me

689
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,251
track down my source
after he went MIA.

690
00:32:29,295 --> 00:32:31,558
Investigating Marines
wasn't part of her job.

691
00:32:31,601 --> 00:32:34,778
Her interest in the case
was personal.

692
00:32:34,822 --> 00:32:36,432
The Marine
who commanded

693
00:32:36,476 --> 00:32:40,001
the U.S. forces in Kosovo was

694
00:32:40,045 --> 00:32:42,047
General James Wallace.

695
00:32:45,050 --> 00:32:48,009
Wait. She was digging up dirt
on her own father?

696
00:32:48,053 --> 00:32:51,404
Ellen was determined

697
00:32:51,447 --> 00:32:53,449
to know the truth.

698
00:32:55,886 --> 00:32:59,542
Even if that meant exposing
the general as a war criminal.

699
00:33:13,469 --> 00:33:15,732
You're not insinuating
that the general

700
00:33:15,776 --> 00:33:18,474
had something to do
with his own daughter's death?

701
00:33:18,518 --> 00:33:20,346
I'm not here to enroll.

702
00:33:22,522 --> 00:33:24,437
I'm not gonna stand here
and let him disrespect...

703
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,569
Daniel, give us
the room.

704
00:33:26,613 --> 00:33:28,789
It's fine.
I'll handle this.

705
00:33:31,966 --> 00:33:33,794
Hmm.

706
00:33:33,837 --> 00:33:37,928
You always were as subtle
as a freight train, Gibbs.

707
00:33:37,972 --> 00:33:40,801
Kosovo. 1998.

708
00:33:40,844 --> 00:33:43,195
Multiple civilian
casualties.

709
00:33:43,238 --> 00:33:44,848
I'm familiar with the incident.

710
00:33:44,892 --> 00:33:46,850
Were U.S. forces
responsible?

711
00:33:46,894 --> 00:33:49,157
I never would've given
an order like that,

712
00:33:49,201 --> 00:33:51,333
and if I had, I wouldn't
have lied about it.

713
00:33:51,377 --> 00:33:52,682
That's not what I asked,
General.

714
00:33:52,726 --> 00:33:54,684
At first, I brushed off

715
00:33:54,728 --> 00:33:57,339
those rumors
as baseless chatter,

716
00:33:57,383 --> 00:34:00,821
but when that reporter told me
the Marine eyewitness account,

717
00:34:00,864 --> 00:34:02,953
I began to suspect
there was more to it.

718
00:34:02,997 --> 00:34:06,870
You asked Ellen
to investigate what happened.

719
00:34:06,914 --> 00:34:09,134
She was the only one
I could trust.

720
00:34:09,177 --> 00:34:10,831
If my Marines
were involved,

721
00:34:10,874 --> 00:34:12,224
I wanted to know the truth,

722
00:34:12,267 --> 00:34:15,792
not some redacted statement
from the White House.

723
00:34:15,836 --> 00:34:17,838
I never would've
gotten Ellen involved

724
00:34:17,881 --> 00:34:20,275
if I thought for a second
she'd be in any danger.

725
00:34:20,319 --> 00:34:22,495
It's been 18 years
since I saw her face,

726
00:34:22,538 --> 00:34:25,541
18 years since
I heard her voice,

727
00:34:25,585 --> 00:34:28,588
but the time doesn't matter.

728
00:34:28,631 --> 00:34:32,679
Losing a child, it's not a wound
that ever heals, is it?

729
00:34:34,681 --> 00:34:36,813
No.

730
00:34:36,857 --> 00:34:40,034
Even after you called off
the engagement,

731
00:34:40,078 --> 00:34:42,950
she never said
an ill word about you.

732
00:34:42,993 --> 00:34:47,346
I've always liked you,
Gibbs, but, um,

733
00:34:47,389 --> 00:34:49,391
you didn't deserve my daughter.

734
00:34:51,741 --> 00:34:53,482
Agreed.

735
00:34:53,526 --> 00:34:56,311
Then give me an explanation

736
00:34:56,355 --> 00:34:58,487
because it all
never made any sense.

737
00:34:58,531 --> 00:35:01,142
I know you loved Ellen,

738
00:35:01,186 --> 00:35:04,102
so why did you cut and run
like you did?

739
00:35:05,190 --> 00:35:08,018
Because I loved her.

740
00:35:12,197 --> 00:35:15,156
And that never ends well.

741
00:35:24,905 --> 00:35:26,994
Yo, this is gonna
take forever.Hey, come on,

743
00:35:28,691 --> 00:35:32,347
it's gonna take to go through
18,000 Pentagon employees?

744
00:35:32,391 --> 00:35:33,914
Nope, not all,

745
00:35:33,957 --> 00:35:37,352
just the 8,233 employees
that were in the building

746
00:35:37,396 --> 00:35:40,181
the evening of September 10th
up to the next morning.

747
00:35:40,225 --> 00:35:43,010
So take that defeatist energy
somewhere else.

748
00:35:43,053 --> 00:35:44,838
Not defeatist, it's realistic.

749
00:35:44,881 --> 00:35:47,101
Uh, well, maybe you'd have
a more optimistic disposition

750

your wardrobe palette

to a work of art?

00:35:59,157 --> 00:36:01,420
Yes. Yes, I did.

Uh, hold on one second,
I know this name.

759
00:36:05,728 --> 00:36:09,167
Can you look up the service
record for Daniel Kent,

760
00:36:09,210 --> 00:36:11,734
8340.

761
00:36:11,778 --> 00:36:13,649
Brigadier
General Kent,

762
00:36:13,693 --> 00:36:15,999
the current commandant
at the Academy.

763
00:36:16,043 --> 00:36:17,392
In 2001 he worked

764
00:36:17,436 --> 00:36:19,829
as a military aide
to General James Wallace.

765
00:36:19,873 --> 00:36:22,397
Prior to 2001?Uh, in 1998, Kent served

766
00:36:22,441 --> 00:36:24,660
in Kosovo,
in the unit

767
00:36:24,704 --> 00:36:26,227
Ellen Wallace was investigating.

768
00:36:26,271 --> 00:36:27,620
Ooh, now we're talking.

769
00:36:27,663 --> 00:36:31,232
Security says he scanned
into the Pentagon

770
00:36:31,276 --> 00:36:34,104
at 2330 hours
on September 10th,

771
00:36:34,148 --> 00:36:37,543
then scanned out
at 0239 hours on 9/11.

772
00:36:37,586 --> 00:36:39,588
That's enough time
to kill Ellen,

773
00:36:39,632 --> 00:36:41,721
remove her body from
the building, and bury her.

774
00:36:41,764 --> 00:36:44,550
Yeah, well, I'm about
to complete the clue trifecta.

775
00:36:44,593 --> 00:36:45,768
According to his
old pay stubs,

776
00:36:45,812 --> 00:36:48,423
in 2001, Kent lived
in a building

777
00:36:48,467 --> 00:36:51,078
two blocks from where
Ellen's body was buried.

778
00:36:51,121 --> 00:36:53,472
How's my disposition
now, baby?

779
00:36:56,997 --> 00:37:00,043

hurry, right, McGee?

783
00:37:05,788 --> 00:37:07,747
Yeah, where should we start?

784
00:37:07,790 --> 00:37:10,445
Well, he seems
like a smart guy,

of course.

Stop us if we go
too fast for you.Kosovo, 1998,

789

you and a few Marines mistakenly
kill civilians during a raid.

790
00:37:22,805 --> 00:37:25,155

from your chain of command.

clear, until you caught wind

that Ellen Wallace
was investigating it.

793
00:37:29,595 --> 00:37:32,162
You panic. You confront her
in her office,

794
00:37:32,206 --> 00:37:34,382
then you kill her and bury her
by your old apartment.
