Karzin, Gibbs and others in “Probie”

With all due respect, Director Shepard, I think we all know what happened here. Nobody else saw another vehicle in the alley. A nervous rookie panicked. Fired prematurely. Killed a veteran cop.

Gibbs

McGee's young, but he's a damn good agent. Are you sure your partner wasn't carrying a weapon last night?

It would have blown his cover on the case that we were working.

Gibbs

You said he was off duty just like you are right now.

Yeah.

Gibbs

You're carrying.... in the small of your back. Your partner's liver said he drank a lot.

Oh, go to hell.

Gentlemen...

I'm not going to stand for a cover-up.

And neither am I, Captain! I shared our preliminary report and you'll have full access to our findings.

I'm going to conduct my own investigation.

That is your prerogative.

And I want to interrogate McGee.

Gibbs

That's not going to happen!

I'll handle this, Special Agent Gibbs.

Gibbs

McGee has made his statement. That's not going to change.

Thank you for coming. You'll have NCIS's full cooperation.

Do I get to question Agent McGee?

Yes. But not today.
