According to Abby's GPS coordinates, the killer was standing over there. Can't see any footprints.
Yeah, knew not to leave a trace.
Yeah, unlike some people. You know, I'm gonna start charging your boyfriend minutes.
Please tell me you have not spoken to Ray!
Okay, I haven't spoken to Ray.
Unbelievable! You're supposed to be on my side.
Now look. The guy's desperate. What am I supposed to do?
He does not appreciate me. There.
If I had a dollar every time a woman said that to me.
While he was overseas, you know, we stayed as connected as best as we could. Trying to make whatever we had, you know, just work. Now he was finally back and, uh, we planned this -- this lovely dinner, but he never showed, Tony. I waited in that restaurant, alone, for three hours. No text, no call, nothing. [sighs] When I saw him next, it was the following morning, and then he just said he got caught up with work.
Look it just brought me back to when I was young how my father could be. There was always something more important and I was always left waiting for a...
Keep your partner away from this investigation.
DFDet. Flowers
Can't make any guarantees. Nick's a bulldog, always has been.
He that way with his wife?
DFDet. Flowers
[chuckles] Come on, I meant with his job. He's the best damn homicide detective we've got.
Can't break a case without him, huh?
DFDet. Flowers
Yeah, pretty much.
How long you been partners?
DFDet. Flowers
Thirteen years. You know, Maya used to say I was his second wife.
DFDet. Flowers
No, never. He's the only cop I know who was still on his first marriage.
How about you, Detective? Second? Third?
DFDet. Flowers
[sheepishly holds up four fingers] Yeah, not very proud of it. You know, sometimes, I wish I was more like Nick, a one-woman kind of guy.
What were you doing at the crime scene, Detective?
BBuress
What I've been doing every day for the past thirteen years. I was solving a case.
BBuress
You know what? I'm not gonna sleep until I find Maya's killer, and I don't trust anybody else to do this job, especially a bunch of Navy cops.
You think we're not doing all we can?
BBuress
I think you don't have a clue how it feels to lose the one you love.
You know, you should let McGee take care of that tech stuff.
I can handle it, Tony, thank you. Why is this thing not even turning on?
It's okay to ask for help, you know.
Do not need help, Tony. I am fine.
Uh-huh. I can see that. Give it to me. [She gives tony her cell phone.] Listen, don't beat yourself up. There's no way you could have seen it coming, no way any of us could have seen it coming. You'll find somebody, someday.
I'm not sure I want to. I don't think children and marriage are a part of the plan for me right now and I am fine with that. Perfectly. Perfectly content with my life.
Content, but are you happy?
[Tony hands Ziva her phone. Buress enters.]
BBuress
Sorry. I, uh, I know it's late. I just needed to hear you say it in person. You guys got the guy who killed Mia?
Yeah, it's over. We, uh, apprehended him this afternoon.
BBuress
I'm not asking how, Agent Dinozzo, I'm asking who.
His name is Ray Cruz and he will never, ever hurt anyone again.
BBuress
Thank you for all you've done. Guess you Navy cops aren't so bad.
Gee, thanks. Walk you out?
BBuress
Yeah, yeah sure. So, how long you two been together?
'[laughs] Oh no, we're not a couple.
Yes, yes. Very good friends.
BBuress
That's good. That's, uh, real good. You hang on to that. You never know when you're gonna need somebody to be there. Cherish each other, that's all I'm sayin'. Every day.
[Tony & Ziva look at each other in the elevator.]
