NCIS

You're under arrest!

You bad, bad boy.

Morning, agent filmore.

Ten-hut.

Like the army greens.

We do investigate crimes of the navy here, though.

Nice smile. Good thing I have a strong ego, or I'd think

You didn't like me.

What?

Ziva-- did she call?

You haven't spoken to her either, huh?

Tried talking to her on the plane, but, uh...

I don't know.

Things got...

These details are classified.

Thank you.

No, they're not. They should be.

What's going on around here anyway?

I had to sign an autograph going through security.

I know what you mean.

You know janice in psych services?

Man hands? Great eyes.

Yeah. She asked me out for drinks tomorrow night.

That's not bad for a guy who spent half the last mission

Sleeping on the floor. I wasn't sleeping

On the floor. Could have fooled me.

She'll call when she's ready.

Last time I said that,

I ended up tied to a chair in north africa.

She's coming back, right?

Ah, she's coming back.

Course I don't know

Where she's gonna sit.

20 bucks says that desk gonna be empty by the end of next month.

Hate to disappoint you.

My letter of resignation.

Well, that's, uh, very long.

I had a hard time

Choosing the right adjectives.

I couldn't decide between childish,

Juvenile, and just plain old annoying.

It's true.

And you-- you know better,

But you're so busy playing the faithful sidekick,

You just go along for the ride.

Well, I've had enough.

Make sure that agent Gibbs gets that.

Annoying.

Sidekick?

Hello, Gibbs.

Your door was open.

Usually is.

I, uh, apologize for being late.

The navy lodge I was staying at ran a surprise drill

This morning, so I just...

It's not important.

How are you?

I am fine... Gibbs.

That is what I wished

To speak to you about, among other things.

First of all, I...

Wanted to say

Thank you.

Which hardly seems sufficient.

Considering so,

I-I just called, um...

It's an old buck mortise chisel.

That is not for rescuing me.

That is for leaving me in israel.

You're probably wondering,

Perhaps I rigged it to explode...

No.

I was thinking this is a really nice chisel.

When, uh...

...You left me in israel,

I...

I felt betrayed.

But I...

I had a long time to think about things.

Very, very, very

Long time.

And you were right to leave me there.

I know.

Well, the point is, now I do, too.

I had forgotten

Who I could trust.

We were a team,

And I would like that again.

You need to talk to the director.

It is your blessing I came for.

Yeah.

Dinozzo, what have you got?

Uh-huh. Where?

Meet you there.

Triple homicide.

You need to talk to leon vance.

I already told him to expect you.

And he's not the only one you need

To talk to.

Hey, you missed a shot there, sidekick.

I'm not your sidekick, Tony.

And yet, you are.

No, I am not because you're not the boss.

When Gibbs isn't here, I'm the boss.

Gibbs is here.

Hey, boss.

Uh, marine staff sergeant jeff Ross.

He's the one who booked the room.

Said it was for a buddy's bachelor party.

Local leos identified him.

Then they called us.

Haven't identified the other two yet.

Still waiting on the duck man.

Who found him?

That would be the stripper.

She's in the next room with her manager.

Where is filmore?

Finally. I've been here since 3:00 a.M.

You have someplace else you have to be?

Not me, but her.

Scorpio's my best dancer.

Listen, I got here as soon as I heard.

Hector stuckey.

I'm in show biz.

Okay... Let me hear it.

Start at the beginning.

Take your time.

Uh, hector gave me the address.

These guys regular customers?

No. First-timers.

I do a lot of business here.

I got a deal with the hotel.

Look.

My own cologne. It's got my number.

Keep it. Yeah, it's okay. I'm gonna pass.

Scorpio: I... I met with him

In the lobby in the afternoon.

He said he wanted to surprise his friends, so...

So he gave me a key.

I came in through that door

And spotted them the way they are now,

Except...

Except what?

I'm pretty sure he had hair when I first met him.

Take it off.

yeah.

Duck?

Even the sharpest of razors,

On a... On a shave this close

Would cause pseudofolliculitis barbae, a.K.A...

Razor burn.

Yeah.

However,

of dermabrasive disruption.

Whoever did this did so

After they were dead.

Bachelor #1 is marine staff sergeant jeff Ross,

A mechanic on leave from camp muchuk in south Korea.

Second victim: Eric Jurel, a civilian.

Runs an auctioneering school in d.C.

Guest of honor:

Alan Sandich, a low-level file clerk

At the pentagon.

Talk to the fiancée?

Uh, she's out of town,

But we are working on getting a hold of her now.

No criminal records

Across the board, unless you count

Egging a church

Freshman year of high school.

These guys have known each other for a while.

Why would you egg a church?

Find out.

You got it, boss.

Tony, let's go.

Follow me.

nah. You follow me.

Don't fight your inner sidekick, McGee.

It's unbecoming.

I could say the same thing to you.

No, you can't because

Everyone knows that sidekicks are shorter, and you...

Are exactly the same height as you.

Look, you're not gonna make me say it, are you?

You think you're too good-looking to be the sidekick?

No. People think I'm too good-looking.

Specifically the women people.

Actually, I find McGee to be the more handsome.

Nothing personal.

Hi.

Hello.

So, what are you doing here?

David... With me.

That answers that question.

I have to go.

Agent Gibbs already briefed me.

You want back.

Is that right?

That is correct.

Have you discussed this with your father?
