NCIS

Hey!

Get a room!

Sorry!

Jerk!

My hero.

We should get back to the party.

Yeah, okay.

So, how long have we been gone?

Um, I don't know. Time kind of stopped.

Are you being serious?

Totally. My sincerity

and sarcasm sound shockingly similar.

Oh!

That's what it takes?

I've been trying to get a laugh out of you all night.

So, uh, that's what you've been going for, huh?

Yeah. What is this?

Motor oil?

I think this car's leaking.

Let me turn it on. Okay.

It's not oil.

Jason, what is it?

- sync, corrected by elderman --

Big cutbacks in federal spending is the hot topic

on Capitol Hill this week,

with legislators vowing to trim the federal budget

While spending and staffing cutbacks are likely

at many federal agencies...

McGee, I was watching that!

Not anymore. Time to hit the showers.

Is your shower not working?

Why, do I smell?

I cannot smell you from there.

And you're part bloodhound.

Come closer.

The answer is Drakkar Noir, vintage 1988.

He buys it off e-Bay.

Never forget your first love.

You smell fine, McGee.

Thank you, Ziva.

Like lilacs.

A masculine lilac, I'm sure.

The kind that storms beachheads,

likes bloody steaks and smacks girls' bottoms.

McGee's shower's broken.

No, it's not.

They said it was late and it's time to...

...hit the showers.

Yeah.

Oh! It's an expression!

Ah. But hitting things does fix things.

Only according to Gibbs, the Fonz

and the far-too short-lived

Stephen J. Cannell classic Riptide.

Did you shower today?

- No. - You should.

I shower three times a week like Brad Pitt.

Preserves my natural aroma.

Boy, Director Vance wasn't kidding

about making changes.

We are gonna lose some people.

We already have.

NCIS investigative assistant

found dead in the garage.

Good, you got your gear. Come on. Let's go.

Somebody stinks.

McGEE: Leo's bagged the guy's personal effects.

Temporary NCIS I.D. says "Oliver Froman."

Procurement Fraud Division hire.

Hired a few months ago. Just let go.

Is Terry Thomas still supervisor at the Fraud Squad?

Uh-huh. That'll be a fun interview, huh?

No surveillance cameras, no line of sight

from adjacent buildings.

Ducky, can we move the body yet?

No, no yet.

Mr. Palmer, I know local law enforcement managed

to reach the man's pockets,

but we can wait.

Almost got it.

I've got the liver probe and, uh...

Oh, yeah,

I'm stuck.

Agent McGee, how soon

can we move this poor fellow's car?

Um, this is not his car.

Don't rush on my account! I'm fine, I'm fine!

- I'm fine. - I'll get the jack.

Thank you! (grunts)

So exactly what happened?

Um, well, we were at Paul's birthday party

at the, uh, at the pizza place.

And me and Lauren took a step outside

to get some fresh air.

And she's making fun of me 'cause I watch Victorious

on Nickelodeon.

But Victoria Justice is hot, right?

So I said that.

She got this crinkly face.

Then I said, "But not as hot as you."

And then she smiled, and I planted one on her.

And, uh, and there was tongue.

About the body, kid?

Oh, her, her body was slamming.

The dead body?

Uh, yeah, that kind of sucked because it was my first kiss.

They get better.

Well, usually in the morning, always after work.

Then sometimes in the afternoon,

depending on what we're working on.

I don't know. I guess I'd say I shower

about 18, 19 times a week.

Surprised you have any skin left.

What do you say, Doctor?

I'd say the cause of death is likely massive blood loss

from multiple stab wounds to the abdomen,

and the time of death, roughly two hours ago.

Corresponds with the gate ticket.

Time-stamped at 7:55 p.m.

So he did drive in.

Just not in this car.

Let's go hunting, McGee.

What about you, David?

When do you feel like showering?

After just about any conversation with you, Tony.

I used to shower in the mornings,

but when I'd leave the house with wet hair

and it was cold outside, I'd get a stiff neck.

Apparently, that's not just an old wive's tale.

Then I started blow-drying,

but Tony would notice I was using a hair dryer,

and he wouldn't let me hear the end of it.

Of course...

That was the end of it.

Looks like he packed everything he owns in here.

Froman was on the move.

He lost his job and he hit the road.

Yeah, with all his meager possessions.

Well, these aren't his.

These are NCIS property tags.

All this stuff was seized.

This guy was looting the office.

: Froman was last hired, so f-first fired.

It wasn't personal.

Bet it felt personal to him.

Every department's g-getting sh-shaved back.

You know, h-he was one of the first temporary hires.

He knew that, b-but nobody liked b-being let go.

It's a horrible feeling.

You have been through it yourself?

I was a c-c-customer service r-rep.

I answered phones b-before NCIS.

Wow. And they fired you?

Yeah. W-With no explanation.

Gibbs, Terry Thomas.

He was, uh, Froman's boss.

Got Froman's computer. Hard drive's been wiped.

But I'm gonna take it downstairs,

see what kind of security breach Froman might be.

He had a-a-access

to a-active cases

we were in the p-process,

-pprocess of p-prosecuting.

Notice?

G-Gave him two weeks.

He picked up his final paycheck Friday.

He was just supposed to be a temp.

McGEE: But one case was lingering.

B-B-Big case.

Lot of seized property.

P-Prepping for auction.

Who?

Leona Phelps.

Go.

You know, h-he'd be terrible at customer service.

Liver?

- Spleen. - Of course.

Interest?

Psycho.

Aren't they all?

The movie, Palmer.

Disgruntled employee

steals from the office on the way out of town.

Stops for a little while and winds up dead

just like Marian Crane in Psycho.

Spoiler alert, okay? Haven't seen it.

You've had 50 years to catch up on the story of Norman Bates.

The character inspired by the exploits

of the Wisconsin cannibal Ed Gein.

Yeah, that's right, Duckman.

The unassuming Gein was known

to give gifts

to his neighbors of smoked venison

that he prepared himself.

When the authorities finally tracked him down,

they found his smokehouse filled with human body parts.

Gein was said to have remarked,

"I never killed a deer in my life."

Oh! That's gross!

Kidney?
