NCIS

Ay, dios mio.

Mr. Parsons, this time it's going to cost you extra.

Hello?

Mr. Parsons?

Maldiga gato!

What are you doing in there?

Mr. Parsons.

agent mcgee.

Hello, director.

Agents dinozzo and david.

They were supposed to contact me

Before they left with our witness.

I should have gotten a call by now.

Yeah, their flight was delayed.

Are you sure about that?

Paris can be very hard to leave.

Not for them. No.

Tony and ziva don't like traveling together much.

Actually, they don't like doing much

Of anything together. I think it's safe to say

That they're not enjoying themselves very much right now.

Secnav wants that witness here by tomorrow morning.

Where the hell are they?

Bonjour, mcgee.

Oh, everything's fine.

We are leaving for the airport

As soon as tony returns from seeing the sights.

Here. Finally.

Okay, mcgee. Um, au revoir.

Tell mcgee I love paree!

Why don't you tell him yourself when we get back.

We must pick up our witness at the embassy.

Come on. Whoa, whoa.

Hold your horses.

you know, one day

Just isn't enough in this town, is it?

I get why artists love it.

Something about the light.

Picasso, rodin.

Cancan girls at the moulin rouge.

This is not a vacation, tony.

Mmm.

But it is a beautiful day.

Why are you in such a pleasant mood?

What's wrong with you?

I slept well last night.

Why, didn't you?

You certainly looked...

Comfy enough.

Paris. France.

I mean, it's really not what I thought it would be.

You know?

Of course, all I had to go on was a french arms dealer

And his rather fetching daughter.

C'est la vie.

That's french for something.

"that's life."

Let's go.

Vite, vite.

Après vous. Ha.

Here we go. Hop on.

I'm getting pretty good at this.

Flight is scheduled to depart paris

At 16:30.

Keep me posted.

Grab your stuff, mcgee.

We're going on a trip of our own.

Someplace exotic?

Oh, yeah.

Downtown.

Just the two of us, boss? Gibbs: Nope.

You, me, ducky,

And a dead marine.

Sergeant mark parsons.

Marine... Special

Ops command. I feel it

Only appropriate, that in agent dinozzo's absence,

I make an observation about this unique crime scene.

Go for it, duck.

A terrified janet leigh.

And the inability to enter the shower for several weeks.

It's a reference to the film psycho.

There, feel better now?

Yeah.

Yes, apart from these feline scratches,

I see no obvious signs of trauma.

Got a time of death?

Rigor has resolved itself.

Postmortem lividity is fixed,

And I see several fly ova

In his nostrils and ears.

Ergo, this man succumbed

Between 36 and 48 hours ago.

Killer got a head start. Yeah.

No doubt that was the intention.

The sodium silicate in crysta l-based kitty litter

Is a very effective odor absorber,

Thereby preventing the smell

From alerting the neighbors.

Apart from the housekeeper,

He might have lain there,

Undiscovered, for days.

Time to change the box.

Boss,

I finished processing

The, uh, rest of the condo.

No signs of a struggle.

And there were quite a few high-dollar items

Left out in plain sight.

Not a robbery.

Which begs another mystery.

Yeah, how does an e-5 marine making three grand a month

Manager to live like this?

Precisely.

You know, I did find a safe bolted

Inside a living room cabinet. Let's go.

Let's open it.

Seat 9-a.

Oh.

Finally, I'll get to catch up on my reading.

Nora, for a whistl e-blower on a major defense fraud scam,

You seem awfully relaxed.

I have faith in you to protect me.

Ziva: Well, most of our material witnesses

Are frightened parasites.

I wish all the people we dealt with

Were as nice as you.

I'm nice. Hah!

I just came across a wrong in the world

That I could help make right.

Oh. Wow.

We're protecting hayley mills.

You know, pollyanna.

Disney classic with a happy ending.

Hmm, I like those.

Tony prefers bambi, where the mother dies.

And I'm not the nice one?

That must be him.

Excuse me?

Ncis.

Been looking for you.

I'm agent david.

That is agent dinozzo.

And she is our witness.

Federal air marshal art neeley.

I already got a head count

And I cross-checked the passenger list

With federal offender databases.

All clear for takeoff.

Captain (over p.A.): We've been cleared to leave the gate.

We'll be getting under way just as soon

As everyone's in their seat, with their seat belt fastened.

Thank you.

Excuse me. If you wouldn't mind taking your seat,

We're ready to pull away from the gate.

I'm also ready for my hot towel.

First class only, sir.

Sorry.

And they say the stimulus is working.

Real friendly.

Up here in first class.

Oh, sorry, business. Business class.

All right, I think we're ready.

Gibbs: What do we got?

Uh...

Mcgee: Watches. Beautiful ones.

These look very expensive, boss.

The folders, mcgee.

Ah, yes.

Newspaper clippings.

All pertaining to a murder investigation in new york city.

The death of real estate mogul sam thoresen six months ago.

Home invasion, nothing was stolen.

Nypd suspected a professional hit.

Case is still unsolved.

He was tracking the investigation.

Why? And why keep it locked in the safe?

Making sure he got away clean.

Nypd was right.

What, you thinking

Our dead marine was moonlighting as a hit man?

Well, he had a new assignment.

Passport information.

Employment records. Bank statements.

Unused round-trip

Ticket to paris.

Same flight tony and ziva are on.

This isn't a scrapbook, it's a dossier.

On his new target.

Nora williams.

Our whistle-blower.

Our dead guy was going to kill her.

Mcgee: Sergeant mark parsons.

Members of his special ops team

All said that he was a good marine, but a loner.

No family.

No close friends.

Apparently, our marine-turned-hit man

Really kept to himself.

The nature of the business.
