“Squall” · Season 10, Episode 19
In this episode: Tony DiNozzo (4), Timothy McGee (2), Leroy Jethro Gibbs (1), Ziva David (1), Ducky Mallard (1), Jimmy Palmer (1)
[Tony and Ziva are watching a weather report on a squall of the Atlantic coast]
Where's McGee?
Maybe he blew away coming to work this morning.
Maybe he met someone last night.
That's doubtful. That would be the reason I would be late.
These days, my friend, I'm not so sure.
You've noticed.
Yes! I'm quite aware you've hit a...um... dry spell, recently.
Like Lawrence of Arabia.
So Agent Burley was Agent DiNozzo before Agent DiNozzo was Agent DiNozzo.
That is correct. One cannot help but be confused by the Downton Abbey complexity of government bureaucracy.
Telling you, it was more than that.
Tony, you're letting your imagination get the best of you. Stan [Burley] was not flirting with Ziva.
Hmm...I noticed it in Italy last year too. [pauses, to McGee] Does Burley look burlier to you?
Stan's a good guy. Besides, he knows that Ziva is vulnerable right now.
Ah ha! That's exactly what I'm talking about. You see, he could use that to his advantage, swoop right in like a hawk going in after a sweet, innocent, furry little Israeli.
[Tony subdues a suspect who attacked Agent Stan Burley]
Thanks. You're too good to me.
Consider it an engagement present.
College campuses, always bring back memories, good and bad. Kinda like fathers.
How long have you been sitting on that transition, Tony? Subtle...
Between Gibbs, Ziva and myself, there's no reason to beat around the bush when it comes to daddy drop-ins.
[sarcastically] Yeah, because those all went so well.
[At NCIS headquarters, Gibbs interrogates McGee's father, Admiral John McGee]
[points at the one-way window] Who's behind the glass? Who's watching?
You scared he's gonna see you break?
My relationship with my son is none of your damn business.
You make him think he's nothing. You're the one with nothing.
[glaring] You will respect this uniform.
Answer the question!
This uniform provided for him, for his mother, for this whole family!
Why lie? Why avoid the truth? Why avoid your son?
[resignedly] Alright. [he sits down] Because I'm sick. No one could know. Stage 4. I wasn't feeling well when we showed up for the exercises. I knew Haber was top notch, so I transferred to the Borealis. Haber gave me something for the pain... but he knew what was causing it.
He was gonna report it to NAVCENT.
Doctor-patient privilege is a little different when it comes to national security. So that meant the end of my career.
It's motive to keep the commander quiet.
Gibbs... I've been a lot of things. I've been a lousy father, I've been a son of a bitch. But I'm no murderer.
[Watching on the other side of the glass, McGee is visibly upset, tears running down his face]
