NCIS (2003–…): Season 11, Episode 14 - Monsters and Men - full transcript

Ellie's boss, Marlens, at the NSA, hassles her about her communication with him about her current work on Parsa at the NCIS, and Gibbs hassles her about her previous work on Parsa at the NSA. Ellie describes to Gibbs her new insight into Parsa; her gut says that he's in his home district, in NW Pakistan. The Gibbs team investigate a body, wearing the clothing of Parsa's bodyguard, found at the ocean terminal in Portsmouth, Virginia; Duck and Abby say that the body is that of a security guard at the port; Tony and McGee elaborate on him. At the Norfolk airport Gibbs, Tony, and McGoo intercept Khalil, the live bodyguard; Ellie and Gibbs lean hard on him, who reveals important information, which enables a SEAL team to capture Parsa alive. Gibbs, McGee, and Ellie fly to an aircraft carrier, where Gibbs and Ellie question Parsa; Ellie winds up in an extremely dangerous predicament, but Gibbs saves her. Back in the US Gibbs and Ellie share a hug and a handshake.

You ever hear of a terrorist
named Benham Parsa?

We used a Hellfire missile
to destroy his compound in Pakistan.

Hayat Parsa is Benham's sister
in Pakistan.

I've been monitoring
her communications

since Parsa
showed up on the radar in '07.

Parsa's drone wasn't destroyed.
He's using it on the Conrad gala.

Hands above your head!

Parsa was hidden in a car.
I smuggled him.

For my own safety,
I don't know where. He is gone.

Get to work.
Get this son of a bitch.

You find him.

If you're trying to be stealth,

a less pungent Cologne
would've been a smarter choice.

Nobody wears Cologne anymore,
Bishop.

It's body spray.

Mountain Musk, I think.

Well, it's... bold.

I'll accept bold.

I'm also irritated.

Why haven't you returned
my messages?

NCIS has been keeping me busy.

When exactly were you going to tell me
you're working on Benham Parsa?

It was assigned to me,

I didn't seek it out.
I was just doing my job.

And, as your supervisor,
I'm doing mine.

I'm still responsible
for your actions

and well-being,
both of which concern me.

Look, every agency out there

is after Parsa
since the attack on the gala.

You can't expect me
to just take a backseat.

That's not the point.

You should have told me.

I'm tempted to pull
your joint duty assignment.

That's exactly
why I didn't tell you.

Look, this isn't like last time.

Sure feels like it.

What about Gibbs?

- Does he know what happened?
- Gibbs wants Parsa caught.

That's all that matters.

Not to me.

Look, Marlens, I'm...

You're right.

Okay, I should have told you.

Just let me see this through.
It's important.

All right.

It's too cold
and you're too stubborn

for me to continue this debate
right now.

T.S. Eliot was wrong.
February is the cruelest month.

How do you stand it like this,
in this weather?

I mean,
I miss that Florida humidity.

I got to go.

What's with you?
You got a hot date or something?

Hot, indeed.
105 degrees Fahrenheit.

Picture this:

a bottle of Pinot,
roaring fire and me,

sliding into a hot, steamy soak.

Yeah, I'd rather not picture that.

Sometimes you got to stop
and charge the batteries,

get the old juices flowing.

- I'm not really a bath person.
- Course not.

Baths are for kids. We're men.

Men soak.

What's the difference?

These babies.

"Mighty Aphrodite's
Moisturizing Bath Beads.

Unlock the goddess within"?

This girl introduced me to 'em
and I'm telling you,

I had no idea.
Exfoliates...

makes you tingle in all the right
places, you know what I mean?

I'm so sorry I asked.

That makes two of us.

Grab your gear.

Port Authority in Portsmouth
found a body in the water.

Clothing matches the BOLO
we put out on Parsa's bodyguard.

Good, you're still here.

What's going on? Is there a rumble
between the Sharks and the Jets?

What? No.
I have a lead on Parsa.

Yeah, so do we.
It's in Virginia. Let's go.

Wait, wait!
He's not in Virginia.

Speak.

Parsa's going to Pakistan.
I should have seen it sooner.

It all makes sense.

Slow down. Make sense now.

Salted hot chocolate.

I was drinking that the first time
I learned about his parents.

Raza and Sabeen Parsa
were innocent civilians killed

in a U.S. air strike on Pakistan
February 6, 2004.

This event is what triggered
the psychological shift in Parsa,

making him who he is today.

Now, the ten-year anniversary
of their deaths is in 48 hours.

He's going back to where it started.
