Why didn't he kill me? I was fighting like hell, but why didn't he do it right there?
You were a message, not a victim. Consider yourself lucky.
Levin's dead. Cade may not make it. They were my responsibility. Where exactly is the luck in that? You think Gibbs would have let Cobb leave Europe? You think any of this would have happened if anybody else had been leading the case.
Stop beating yourself up. We've all lost people in the field. You're a good agent.
Am I?
I know what it's like to lose a team member, especially one you care deeply for. You learn there is no rhyme or reason to dying, good or bad it's just completely out of your hands.
Agent Levin died because I screwed up.
No, Agent Levin died because it was his time. There was nothing you could do about it.
What do you mean the security camera's not working?
I told you, Tony, the system's down all over the hotel. It has been for days.
Isn't that illegal?!
Same M.O.: no fingerprints, the place has been wiped clean.
How could she just walk out of here and nobody notices?
Tony.
Sorry.
We're all worried about Ziva.
I know. It's just different for some of us.
(EJ stares at him)
[looking at Cobb sitting in interrogation] This isn't right. It's too easy.
He knows where Ziva is. There's nothing easy about it.
Cobb's playing us.
Playing Leroy Jethro Gibbs? The guy must have a death wish.
What does he want?
Rule 16: If someone thinks they have the upper hand, break it.
'Cause he's no longer about method or clue-trail gamemenship, Mr. Palmer. It's about hurting those responsible for putting him in this situation.
Situation?
Operation: Frankenstein.
Good morning, Mr. Secretary.
Like hell it is, Leon. This better be damn important!
Agent's dead. Another critical. I don't know how much more important it can get.
[Gibbs reads a letter from Franks] Too many years of lighting up finally caught up with me, probie.For 3 decades, I outran every bullet aimed at me. Can't out run this - not with this lungs. Only got a few months left to go. And I plan to live 'em.
Never one to dissapoint. Were you, Mike?
Director Vance, I'm authorizing Agent DiNozzo access to sensitive compartmental information commensurate with a black op. None of your other team members need to know, is that clear?
Actually Clay, I'm a little concerned.
So an agent is selling top secret information. And they'll need to be dealt with appropriately.
Mr. Secretary, I'd like to discuss this first.
There's nothing else to talk about... If you are uncomfortable with this, Agent DiNozzo and I can do it without you. [Sec Nav hands DiNozzo a file] Take a look. That's who you're handling. Do whatever it takes. Any questions?
