NCIS (2003–…): Season 12, Episode 24 - Neverland - full transcript

NCIS feverishly investigates a global terrorist group that is recruiting teens via the Internet, following a deadly bombing overseas that results in an emotional and surprising loss for the team.

NARRATOR:
Previously on NCIS:

Her throat's been cut.

Victim is Navy Ensign Janine Wilt.

Ensign Wilt gained remote access
from this laptop to a home computer.

Linked to a chat room?

- What were they talking about?
- Asking if I was lonely

- and did I know my calling?
- So you turned to Ensign Wilt.

She knew computers, blocked
the chat room and everyone on it.

- GIBBS: Do you know any of them?
- Hellbent427.

Hellbent427 is Bradley Simek.

- Nobody move!
- Don't.

No!

NCIS Cyber linked
Bradley Simek's communications

to a specific terror cell: The Calling.

The Calling is making a strong push
to recruit children.

We've sent you background
on a Calling leader in France.

His name is Matthew Rousseau.

Several Calling loyalists are seeking
S-mines on the black market.

Interpol is assembling a think tank.

I would like you to represent NCIS.

WOMAN:
SS_Builder-48.

The SS stands for Sadiq Samar.

Luke Harris. Wendy and David Harris
reported him missing last night.

They are his adoptive parents.

Mom! Mom!

Dad! No!

Duck, I gotta reach this kid.

I know nothing about any S-mines.

Samar could be trying
to connect the mines.

Dorneget, listen,
there's a threat to the hotel.

They know you're there.
Get everyone out.

Everybody out! Go, go!

BISHOP:
Gibbs. Dorneget didn't make it.

LEON:
Gibbs. CIA Officer Joanna Teague.

Agent Dorneget's mother.

Officer Teague.

My son is dead
and his killers are still out there.

I'd say we've got some work to do.

[TRAIN BELLS CLANGING
IN DISTANCE]

["MY IMAGINATION" BY KS FRENCH
PLAYING]

Where's the boy, Sadiq?

Come on, now. Don't do this.

I know the Taser stings a little,
but you left me no choice.

Who are you?

A very angry mother
with a short fuse.

Where's the boy?

I don't know
who you're talking about.

I swear. I know nothing.

"Nothing" might be stretching it.

Online, these kids trust you, Sadiq.

Don't be stupid.
I only bite when I'm hungry.

Where's Luke?

Where's the boy?

[CHOKING]

They took him back.

Luke?

Yes.

Where?

To Iraq.

To Zakho.

[KETTLE WHISTLING]

[MUSIC STOPS]

Gibbs.

I know where they took Luke.

I want the people who killed my son.

As do we.

Special Agent Dorneget
was a valued member of my team.

And the only family I had left.

I'm not sure you understand.

I'm asking to be read in on the case.

I've already spoken
with my superiors.

- Officer Teague...
- Joanna.

I don't think it's a good idea
for you to be personally involved.

Gibbs, I'm IOC.

I consistently work
in Middle Eastern cyber ops.

This is my area of expertise.

LEON: Your personal connection
to Agent Dorneget

was unknown inside NCIS.

Present company excluded.

Per your son's request.

Ned didn't want anyone to know
about his government pedigree.

He wanted the respect
of his co-workers,

that he was a good agent.

And he was a damn good one.

[SIGHS]

Well, that was very Ned.

He didn't want people to know
what he came from.

He had a rough childhood.

His father was a cop
who was killed in the line of duty,

and I was barely around,
chasing my CIA career.

Thank God for his grandmother.
She raised him.

Ned talked about you a lot,
Agent Gibbs.

Your leadership, your rules.

He talk about rule number ten?

"Never get personally involved
in a case"?

You were a parent.

You lost a child.
You should understand.

I need this.

And Ned deserves it.

Please.

- That x-ray vision working yet, Tony?
- No.

If Steve Jobs were still alive,

we'd have x-ray vision by now,
wouldn't we?

I miss Steve Jobs.

All right. Where are we?

Trying to understand
the power structure of The Calling.

We know Sadiq Samar
is still out there,

and that he murdered
Navy Ensign Wilt.

And after McGee interrogated
Matthew Rousseau,

he was delivered here and admitted
The Calling's role in Cairo.

Forensic results?

Thanks.

Touch DNA ties Sadiq Samar
to the bomb fragments in Egypt too.

And we already know he's in charge
of chat room recruitment,

so we are dealing
with a computer-savvy

and personable
mechanical engineer.

Yeah. There should be
a separate category

for criminal overachievers,
don't you think?

If Sadiq and Rousseau
are the public faces of The Calling,

- then who's next level up?
- TONY: I don't know.

This is not the face
of international terrorism.

You'd be surprised.

Nice to have you back
in the big orange room, Tim.

Nice to be back.

I just wish Dorneget
was here with us.

Officer Teague. I'm Ellie Bishop.

You have my deepest sympathies.

Thank you, Agent Bishop.

And I'm guessing you're Tim.

Yes, ma'am.

Ned liked you very, very much.

I should have stayed with him in Egypt.
I should have been there.

You did your job. You all did.

Don't ever question that.

You must be DiNozzo.

My condolences.

I really thought Ned was great.

He really admired your relationship
with your father.

Ah, ha, ha.

Yeah. Well, Dad is special.

- Gibbs.
- DUCKY: Jethro, we're ready.

- Yeah, Duck?
- DUCKY: Yeah, any time.

Yeah, sure, I'll bring her down.

Ready to go?

Yes.

DUCKY:
Officer Teague, I must warn you,

the shrapnel from the
incendiary device was devastating.

He's my son, doctor.

I want to see him.

Mr. Palmer.

I'm so proud of you, baby.

Sleep now.

FRANKS:
How many more, probie?

How many times
we gonna do this dance?

Agents can't keep dying
on your watch.

TEAGUE: I'm sure Agent Gibbs
would grant me the courtesy.

Jethro, Officer Teague would like
to take a close look at the shrapnel.

We can learn a lot

from every piece of metal,
and in my experience--

I would prefer to wait
until I've begun my formal autopsy.

Duck, pull it out, show it to her.

Officer Teague, I wasn't
at the actual transfer.

I was at the pediatrician's.
See, my daughter has a little wheeze

and we've been trying
to steam it out of her--

DUCKY:
Mr. Palmer.

I'm sorry. I just wanna reiterate that
we are all in this to catch Ned's killers.

No matter what.

Thank you.

Your point is well-taken.

Now, could you give me one
of those small containers, please?

That's titanium.

Abby said
Sadiq modified the explosives.

Apparently, regular shrapnel
wasn't deadly enough for his taste.

We might be able to track it.

You don't just buy titanium
ball bearings at the local bomb store.

The world's largest supplier
of titanium is Russia.

TEAGUE: Good place to start.
Run down the source,

track the importer, find the killer.

I still have a few Russian
connections left, Gibbs.

You?

Yeah, I know a guy.

Anything?

I spoke to hotel security in Cairo.

They reported seeing
a blond-haired man,

mid-20s, standing in the entrance
just before the explosion.

McGEE: These are screen grabs
from the security camera.

- Any ID?
- Not yet.

What about Sadiq?

We have two eyewitnesses
that place Sadiq Samar

in the same Cairo hotel
a month ago.

Doing recon.

Then Homeland picked up his trail
using an alias

on a cruise ship
that landed him here in Virginia.

Just in time to kill the ensign.

Bishop, track him down.

Guys, I heard
from our Russian friend.

Oh, how is Comrade Pavlenko?
Slippery as ever?

He thinks the titanium
that killed my son was imported

by a local aerospace company,
Bianca Aviation.

Purchased by a dummy corporation.

Signed for by Roger Dietz.

Getting our bearings
on Roger Dietz, boss.

How you holding up, Luke?

[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]

I won't pretend I know.

[MUSIC STOPS]

What happens to me now,
Agent Gibbs?

Once you're safe, you have family.

We'll reach out to your relatives.

They're just lining up to take in
the Middle Eastern adopted kid.

Doesn't matter where you're from,
Luke. Family's family.

People are dead because of me.

You didn't kill anybody.

You're trying to help now.

That counts for something.

An agent died.

Yeah.

And The Calling is responsible.

What if

I could show you

exactly who killed my parents?

Meet Safari Sandy.

Safari Sandy's a giraffe.

Yes. A distant relative
of Bert the Hippo

and a direct result
of the Harrises paranoia

regarding a certain
sticky-fingered cleaning lady.

- Nanny cam.
- Yep. Exactly.

Hence Safari Sandy's
unfortunate exenteration.

Eyeball removal.

I did not see a giraffe
at the crime scene.

That's the point.

Safari Sandy is a stuffed animal,

so is decidedly nonthreatening
in her stuffed-ness.

The camera has a motion sensor.

So whenever there's movement,
it starts recording,

and then the files are sent
to an internal SD card.

Yeah. Good. Put it up.

Gibbs, the camera's motion sensors
caught something that night.

The Harrises' murder.

The camera recorded everything,

including the identity of the killer.

Play it, Abs. Go.

WENDY: Who are you?
DAVID: Hey. Hey.

What are you doing in our house?
You don't have to-- Put the gun down.

Put the gun down. No! Put it--

[GUNSHOT ON MONITOR]

WENDY:
Oh, my God! No!

[GUNSHOT ON MONITOR]

[SIGHS]

Oh. Sorry.
I didn't know someone was in here.

No, it's okay.

I, um, left my homework on the table.
I just need to get it. I'll--

You must be Luke.

Who's that?

That's my son.

He worked here, but, uh,

he's gone now.

The agent who was killed.

- What was his name?
- Ned.

You know, you kind of remind me
of him a little bit.

Look, the agents won't tell me
what happened exactly,

and I have so many questions.

It's kind of my fault.

My parents, uh, your son,

they're all gone now,
and I didn't do anything to stop it.

You didn't kill them, Luke.

I know, but I...

Look, I better go.

TEAGUE:
Luke.

Luke, please.

Tell me about your friends.

They're not my friends.

Then tell me how to find them.

ROGER: Titanium is generally
preferred because it's lightweight

and can withstand high compression
and temperature.

The precision finish
ensures surface uniformity.

No pits.

Don't want pits.

We mostly use these
in aircraft landing gear.

- I order them by the bushel.
- TONY: That's why we're here.

One of your bushels
ended up in Cairo, Egypt.

- How's that, now?
- BISHOP: Well,

you signed the PO for the bearings
used in these devices.

TONY: Devices used in this bombing
in Cairo, Egypt.

No, ma'am. I-- I did no such thing.

The inventory you just admitted
to controlling

was sold to a dummy corp

fronting Sadiq Samar,

the terrorist responsible
for the bombing.

ROGER:
Oh, God.

I, uh...

I don't know anything about any, um...

All our inventory
is carefully accounted for.

- Clearly.
- So will we find anything

when we go through
your personal accounts?

TONY:
You didn't just put in a new pool?

For the fam, Roger? You seem
like a kidney-shaped guy to me.

You won't find anything.

Are you calling my bluff, Roger?

Because that would take
big brass ones.

GIBBS: Titanium ball bearings
made in Russia.

Sold under the table
by a guy at Bianca Aviation

to this clown.

You know him?

He killed some good people.

Navy Ensign Wilt.

Luke Harris' parents.

Hell, we even linked him
to the bombing in Egypt.

You know,
we've been at this a while.

I'm in no rush.

And I know you are made of time.

Luke is a misguided young man.

Pity.

He'll find his way.

Hmm.

Maybe.

Tell me who this is.

Don't know.

Never seen him before in my life.

Where would I find him?

Second star to the right
and straight on till morning.

Why use kids?

Why do fish swim?

For the same reason
disenfranchised children will rise up

to find their purpose.

They simply must.

It is inevitable.

Listen to him, talking in circles.

He's scum.

People are dying. Good people.

Your people.

And this one thinks it's funny.

Look at that smirk.

Break him.

Do it.

One name. One name.

Who is he?

These Western time zones
elude me.

What time is it in Arizona?

I think we've missed
the afternoon tour.

[PHONE RINGING]

What, McGee?

McGEE:
South rim of the Grand Canyon.

Two more Bouncing Bettys.
It's all over the news.

MAN: The National Park Service
is working with Homeland and FBI

to determine who was responsible

for today's deadly attack
at the Grand Canyon.

No further details
have been released.

That's enough.

Why in a national park?
Why in the middle of nowhere?

Okay,
Bouncing Bettys are confirmed.

One park ranger dead,
three hikers wounded.

But five minutes later,

two tour buses would have unloaded
right where the bombs went off.

Our friend at Bianca Aviation
had a cell number for Sadiq

in his phone records.

- You track it?
- BISHOP: Burn phone was found

in a Dumpster in Maryland,
near the Mount Roosevelt campus.

Makes sense.

A bright 20-something engineer hiding
in plain sight on a college campus.

Cell's battery was still working.
He probably tossed it recently.

Go. Find him. McGee.

Boss, I found something

that Dorney never got the chance
to follow through on.

All the kids that were recruited online
were sent the same group of songs.

[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]

Dance club music.

No, it's techno-industrial,
to be specific.

I don't know where they come from.
I'm still digging.

Do us a favor, McGee,

dig with headphones.

- Luke carries an MP3 player, right?
- Yeah.

I'm just saying, Gibbs,

in the morning, let's see
if he has any songs like these.

It could mean something.

WOMAN:
Bye.

Well, she seemed friendly.

Anything?

Her name is Amber.

She's a criminal justice major,

she has daddy issues,

and she wanted to discuss
my search-and-seizure techniques.

She did not.

- You made all that up.
- No. I did not.

Anyway, she hasn't seen Sadiq,

and we have been to every
24-hour study hall on campus.

- So I think it's time to call it a night.
- Hang on a second.

Hey. Excuse me. Hi.

- Sorry, but how old are you?
- Eighteen.

No, you're not.
You're, what, 16, tops?

What are you doing here?
It's a school day.

Visiting a friend.

My brother, he goes to college here.

Aha.

So which is it, Doogie,
brother or friend?

What's your name?

You seen this guy?

Kids are fast. Hey!

[CAR HORN HONKING]

Food's getting cold, dude.

I'm not hungry.

Suit yourself.

TEAGUE:
Know what I could use later?

Ice cream.

Is Larry's still on
Connecticut Avenue?

Yeah. Best rum raisin in town.

TEAGUE:
I'm partial to mint chip.

Call me old-fashioned.

How about you, Luke?
You got a favorite ice cream?

I don't know.

FRANKS:
Ice cream flavors?

Probie, I get it.

You want to trust the boy.
He was a good kid.

Emphasis on "was."

Nothing's what it seems anymore.

Innocence doesn't come
with youth or lipstick.

[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING
OVER HEADPHONES]

When I was your age,
we used to read books.

Now I just download audiobooks,
listen to them when I travel.

It's just music.

Oh, I have songs too.
Dylan, Stones,

Jay Z.

It's not that kind of music.

Well, can I listen?

[MUSIC STOPS]

Why are we even doing this?

Stop coddling the boy.

Press him.
What are you waiting for?

Can we go back to your house now?

Yeah, sure.

He's playing you, Gibbs,
and you're letting him.

At least she didn't forget rule 36.

Sadiq? Sadiq, it's me.

You came during the day.

I told you,
you only come here at night.

They're looking for you.

Get in.

BOY:
It must have been Rousseau.

Or Luke. How else would they know
where to look?

Luke's become more of a danger
than a help, but he still has value.

The others are leaving soon for Iraq.

We can all go together.

Let them wait.

You find Luke, convince him
his family needs him.

[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]

McGEE:
Abby?

Hey. Welcome to Molecule 54.

It's the name of my club.

And go for it,
there's a two-drink minimum.

Thanks. What are we doing?

I'm listening to all these songs
that Dorneget downloaded.

To be honest,
most of them really suck.

For a minute, I'm like,
"Why am I doing this

when somebody's blowing up
my friends and national parks

and who knows what else?"
But that's not the point.

- What is the point?
- It's the rhythm.

You know,
I love a good techno-industrial beat

as much as your next
musically obsessed forensic scientist,

but just listen to what happens
when I filter down the high end

to hear the rhythm track,

and then roll off the low end.

See? It's like it's too precise.

- It's like it's sending...
- Morse code.

There's code embedded
in these songs.

Yeah, it's spelling out something.

It's a message hidden in a bass line.

And there's hundreds of them.

This is how The Calling
is talking to these kids.

It's not about music.

They're telling them
to go hurt people.

McGEE: "Navy woman is dead.
Now prove what you can do."

It's a decoded message we pulled

from the music
on Brad Simek's computer.

"Prove what you can do."

Drove him to blow up the bus.

And this is code
disguised as music?

It's actually a warped Morse code
with a backbeat.

Who sent it?

An endless spiral
of phony e-mail addresses

blocked by firewalls
and Tor protocols, origin unknown.

Luke Harris, Gibbs. What's his 20?

He's at my house with an agent
and Child Services.

MTAC, now. You too, McGee.

Commissioner Girard,
you know Officer Teague.

We have not had the pleasure, no.

You can cut the bull, ladies.

I know for a fact that CIA
and French DGSI are old friends.

We may have broken some code
once or twice.

Well, since the proverbial cat
is out of the bag, Joanna,

I want you to know,
Ned saved my life.

We're listening, commissioner.

My office recently intercepted
an unexpected file,

a video game created by
The Calling, distributed for free.

Girard's people think that there's
another embedded message inside.

- Well, what kind of message?
- GIRARD: We don't know.

But my analysts tell me

the key is only accessible
once you finish the game.

They have been unable to do so.

I was going to ask Ned for help.

However, he spoke very highly
of your gaming skills, Elf Lord.

We need your help.

My mom always said I could never
make a living playing video games.

So McGee finishes the game,
and then what?

Then the prize is often
the scariest part of all.

Can I help you?

Yeah, hey. I'm a friend of Luke's.
I'm here to pick him up.

PAULA:
I'm afraid that's impossible.

Luke can't go anywhere.

How did you get this address?

You ever wonder how much longer?

How much longer what?

Don't forget how long I've been
in the game too, Gibbs.

Post 9/11,
the landscape just keeps changing.

Hard to tell
who we're fighting anymore.

FRANKS:
Bright woman.

Where was she all my life?

I mean, we can keep finding them,
keep arresting them.

Crooks multiply like rabbits.

But who are we really trying to catch
after all these years?

Who are you trying to catch?

Bad guys.

Still looking for the bad guy.

Gibbs, I just dialed you.

Something happened at your house.

A boy took him, Gibbs.

- Where, Paula?
- I don't know. He was just gone.

Security detail never saw it coming.

Ten stitches to the back of the head.

- There more than one of them?
- Maybe.

Paula, was this kid 15-ish, tall,
maybe Middle Eastern?

Sounds like the boy
we saw on campus.

Go ahead, say it.

No need.

[PHONE BEEPS]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

LEON:
Mm-hm?

- Director.
- Come on in.

I hope you like Scotch.

Oof. Tonight I do.

Oh, I see you've been reading up
on my other life.

Yeah, your bosses read me in

on just how close you and the CIA are
to this world of recruiting teens.

Oh, we're not close. We're in.

Months of undercover work
on The Calling.

They're afraid you're about to
flush it all down the drain.

By using it?

No, by jeopardizing your cover
to help with an NCIS investigation.

Look, I can find the people
who killed my son,

and prevent the death
of God knows how many others.

Director, the CIA now think
they know where Sadiq is.

So you want me
to disregard their request,

look the other way?

You called me up here
to make it clear

that under no circumstances

would NCIS
take any unauthorized risk

to a CIA operation
currently in progress.

Mission accomplished.
Now you have an out.

Well, that's assuming
I'm on your side.

Well, if you're not, when I leave,

you can call my boss
and tattle on me.

As long as we
understand each other.

But if you make that call,
ahem, we gain nothing.

No Sadiq, no Luke.

Ned's death remains in vain.

I've made my choice.

Good night.

GIBBS:
How did we get here, Ned?

Terrorists using kids.

Talking to them
in their bedrooms at night

while their parents
are in the room next door.

FRANKS:
Come on, gunny.

Kids have been fighting wars
for centuries.

World wars, religious wars.

We send in the young
to fix our ego-driven mistakes.

Why are you here?

Why?

Seriously, Mike.

Why?

Why did I see you and Kate and Pacci,
Jenny out by the plane?

Huh?

What do you want?

What do you want?

People count on you. Always have.

I never asked for that.

For every one you've lost,
how many have you saved?

I haven't saved enough.

What about yourself?

Who's gonna save you?

Gibbs.

I know where they took Luke.

[BANGING ON DOOR]

[BANGING ON DOOR]

Wanna come in?

- How much did Vance tell you?
- Enough.

I used CIA intel to find Sadiq.

You used the intel for you, not us.

- This is a joint operation.
- No, it's not. This is our case.

This man recruits children.

He builds bombs and you watched him
kill Luke's parents in cold blood.

GIBBS:
I'll make one thing perfectly clear:

I don't care about the CIA.

I care about the agent I lost.

You wanna be in on this,
you do it our way.

I jeopardized it.

Where is he?

Zakho.

Why grab a kid
under federal custody?

Because he was in custody.

He's seen us.
Names, locations, all of it.

We're targets.

They will get the information
out of him.

And there is nothing
you can do about it.

[RINGING]

- Special Agent Timothy McGee.
- GIBBS: McGee.

Boss, hey, sorry, I was with Abby
working on the video game--

- GIBBS: Find Daniel Budd.
- Daniel Budd?

- GIBBS: Yeah.
- Yeah, I'm on it.

- Where are you?
- GIBBS: On our way with Samar.

With Samar? How did--?
How did you...?

[LINE DISCONNECTS]

Gibbs?

He and Joanna are on their way up.
They booked Sadiq Samar.

How did they find Sadiq?

And who's Daniel Budd?

The leader of The Calling.

BISHOP:
Daniel Budd, 25 years old,

British political activist
and underground terrorist leader.

Started as a London DJ.

McGEE:
That would explain the music.

So after his 15 minutes of fame
were over,

he desperately wanted
to stay relevant.

Surrounded himself
with misguided youth.

Started robbing from their parents.

Petty theft led to assault
and kidnapping.

Found disturbing relevance
in terrorism.

My NSA informant just ID'd Luke
somewhere on the outskirts of Zakho.

He's already there.

Private charter took off
before we got the BOLO out.

Eyes on the street, boss?

No, start with ours.
DiNozzo, grab your go bag.

Officer Teague
is gonna arrange transport.

Plane leaves in an hour.

TEAGUE: This is the neighborhood
that Sadiq described.

My people saw a van unload a group
of Westernized teens close by.

Then they were transferred into cars
and taken to various locations.

Three o'clock.

Look at the bright, shiny kicks.

I doubt she's here
with the debate team.

Follow her.

Sadiq Samar.

Finally.

Someone worth talking to.

- Have we met before?
- Never.

But I know who you are, director.

And I know
that we're both intelligent men.

And I am confident that we can come
to some sort of mutual

understanding?

You mean negotiate.

Negotiation suggests
that we're at an impasse.

You're a terrorist.
We're at an impasse.

Your reputation as an interrogator
precedes you.

Oh, hell, Sadiq,

I am just getting started.

Do they come in wallet size?

You think that's funny?

I think that you are wasting
your valuable time.

Matthew Rousseau is already halfway
to a supermax prison.

Give me Daniel Budd.

You will never find him.

We're both intelligent men. Try me.

The outdoor restaurant in Egypt.

Grand Canyon.

Big outdoor spaces.

If these bombings were tests...

...what's your next target?

Among others?

Old, stubborn men
sit on benches their entire lives

and get set in their ways.

Age, director.

Age is the enemy
of enlightened youth.

Split off. I got this.

ABBY:
Follow the dragon, McGee.

It's not about the dragon,
it's the sword.

- Use it on the goblin.
- You're both wrong. It's the potions.

Pick the yellow one.

No, the yellow one's not the hero one,
the purple is.

- Got it.
- You win, my Elf Lord.

Nice to know
I haven't lost my touch.

- Now what happens?
- Well, besides being crowned

the King of Darrigone...

Wait. What's this?

Abby, the firewalls are up, right?

Yeah, next generation
and circuit-level gateway.

BISHOP:
They're grids.

Travel destinations. Business hubs.

Naval bases.

Places for The Calling to target next.

How did they get access to all this?

They have kids inside.

Children of government employees.

What if Luke's still with them? What if
he steered them to Gibbs' house?

- McGee.
- Director, you gotta see this.

Not now, McGee. Supreme court
justices, exactly where are they?

- They're on retreat. It's on the news.
- I know that. I asked where?

A compound in the Appalachians.

Well, get it on lockdown. Now.

What do you want?

United States federal agent.

You can't be here. It's not safe.

I'm out for a walk.

That's what they told me to do.

Who? Who told you that?

My new friends.

The people I trust.

[PHONE RINGING]

DiNozzo.

Welcome to Iraq, Agent DiNozzo.

- Who is this?
- BUDD: I've been reading about you.

It's fabulous to finally make myself
acquainted with you.

This is Daniel?

I am many things to many people.

Well, to me, you're a terrorist.

Such an unfortunate moniker, that:
"Terrorist."

I really need to go.

No, you're coming with us.

I don't think so.

We want the boy.
What do you want?

Just to be heard.

To be respected.

Not to be handed
your broken promises.

Welcome to the generation gap.

Old habits die hard, Daniel.

Or they just die.

- No, no, no.
- Are you hungry?

You are hungry, you are hungry.

The boy, Luke.

I'm sorry for being the bearer
of bad news,

but these things are always
more complicated than they appear.

Agent Gibbs
will be so disappointed.

LUKE:
Agent Gibbs?

BUDD:
But we must remember.

They're only children.
