NCIS · Season 9
I do not know what you are investigating, and I do not need to know, but ever since we lost Levin and Franks and EJ left, NCIS has been through a lot. We have been through a lot. We need some time.
We. As you in you and me?
That's not what I meant.
Well what did you mean then, Ziva?
All I'm saying is, look out for yourself. Please.
[watching footage of Tony in the bullpen] Okay, he starts to turn the picture over. There!
Go two frames back. See, that looks like a woman to me.
No, it doesn't. It looks like a hairy pirate with a mustache!
You mean Tony's assignment is to kill Johnny Depp?
I like Johnny Depp.
This isn't working.
It is too grainy. I cannot see anything.
I don't feel comfortable doing this.
I know. We're spying. On family.
Well, sometimes we must cross boundaries to protect those we care about.
Well, hypothetically, what if Ray was Tony's target?
Okay, though I am confident it is not Ray, we should prepare ourselves for the unexpected.
I hope it isn't anyone we know.
Mr. Palmer, what do you suppose the SecNav is saying to him? [referring to Director Vance]
Well, if I were him I'd be asking how to get blood out of a $200 white dress shirt. See, it's all about oxygenating the stain. My mother used to use club soda, but my uncle preferred Perrier with a dash of -- the incision. They're probably talking about the incision.
Why do you think you keep getting involved with dysfunctional women?
[angrily] What?
Well, the women you date are messed up.
I date all kinds of women!
You know, I think you're drawn to them because you want to help them.
I am drawn to them because usually they're pretty hot!
Tony. Admit it. You like hot girls who carry guns.
Who doesn't like hot girls who carry guns?!
How old do you guys think I am?
Physically or mentally?
[sifting the entire contents of a street sweeping truck that swept up their evidence]
Next time why don't you just shoot the driver?
Next time I will!
[referring to the ringing phone] That's the third time in an hour.
I know. I am so sorry. It will not happen again, I promise.
There's plenty of time to turn off each other's calls once you're married, Mr. Palmer. I'd advise you not to start before you've even exchanged wedding vows.
How did you know it was Breena?
You're a man in love. I've been there many times myself. Though not much lately.
It's just all this wedding planning stuff has us on edge. She's having a hard time making decisions. I'm just trying to help, and everything I say seems wrong. What should I do?
[walks in] Just give her what she wants.
I have no idea what that is.
Welcome to the rest of your life Jim-boy.
Agent Gibbs, I always knew my grandson would introduce us, but I could never have imagined it would be like this. You failed to tell me that he is so handsome, Timothy. Great eyes.
Go home, McGee. You can't be professional. Go home.
Boss, I won't let you treat her like that, she's my grandmother.
She's also the lead witness in a murder investigation. What do you want me to do? Needlepoint my questions?
Penny had nothing to do with Lieutenant Booth's death.
I never said that!
What are you going to do? Break her down until she cracks?
Until I am done, Tim! I don't like this any more than you do, I know she's a family member.
Boss, she means everything to me.
I respect that. This is about murder, a guy is dead. Enough! We find what was in those papers. We find Booth's killer.
And she's the one that can tell us. She will talk to me.
[McGee walks back into the Interrogation Room; Gibbs smiles and then walks into the observation room]
McGee's old man is the legend, right? Called him the Great Santini
Wait a minute. He's a magician? I thought he was a Navy admiral?
The movie, Ziva. [Ziva rolls her eyes] The Great Santini starring the great Robert Duvall, who played the ruthless military pilot and brutal family man "Bull" Meechum.
Please don't...
[impersonating Duvall, who, as noted, plays Meechum in the movie] "There's those that has got 'em...and those that don't! [...] Gonads, Son! Big brass ones!"
And there it is. [Ziva smiles]
Kinda makes sense that you'd end up working for Gibbs, McMeechum.
There are similarities.
He's got big brass ones. They're like bowling balls.
That is disgusting.
Talking about tough love tactics, Tony. The veneer of impenetrability.
The skill of turning one word into a rallying cry.
[Gibbs walks in]
Gear up!
[to McGee] I guess that's two words isn't it.
Is something funny DiNozzo?!
No boss! Grabbing my gear!
If you don't want to talk to me, fine. But Gibbs is going to have questions and he's not going to be nice about it, trust me.
I think you forget that I staged a sit-in with Gloria Steinham at our nation's capital and spent seven nights in prison, or jail really. After the Selma riots in '65...
...and three in Chicago after the '68 convention.
And I think I can handle this Gibbs person.
Genghis Khan couldn't handle Gibbs. You should talk to your grandson, Penny.
I think we should have waited for Gibbs.
No time. Sportelli said he was conscious. We don't know for how long. Now listen, when we get in the room you let me do the talking.
Why?
The Cooler has evaded the FBI for years. Getting him to tell us who took out the hit on Commander Brett is going to take a deft hand.
Oh, and that's you? [Tony nods] You didn't even know who The Cooler was until I told you!
Neither did Ziva!
[phone rings] David.
Can Brett hear you?
Yes, of course.
Are you sitting down?
What is it?
Put on your most Mossad ninja face. No reaction. Brett is George Kaplan. They are one in the same person.
[falsely cheerful] Oh really? So what's the plan?
Gibbs wants you to hang in there until we know more. Don't let him out of your sight, like you did last time?
[laughs] Nice. Well, I'll wait for you to call me back then, sweetheart.
Good luck.
No. You're never going to find the perfect woman for Gibbs.
How do you know?
Because he's already found her.
His first wife. That doesn't mean we can't still try, right?
It's futile.
You have the wrong man, Ziva.
No, you have the wrong man! This journey for freedom is nothing but a way for him to enter this country by using you and your sons!
I have lived with him for thirty years. I love him! Nothing changes that.
[places a photo of a bombing on the table] This. This changes it.
No. No, I don't believe it.
Then you are lying to yourself! I mean, you have to know the truth deep down. I mean, you must! Yet you allow him to lie to you. To your children.
I am protecting my children.
They will resent you for it, Mariam.
Perhaps I had suspicions, but have you never turned a blind eye on someone you love?
Yes, and it was a mistake.
