NCIS (2003–…): Season 17, Episode 10 - The North Pole - full transcript

Previously. on
"NCIS"...

Ziva, what happened to you?

ZIVA: One of my demons
has become anxiety.

If they find you with Gibbs,
you will pay the price.

- And so will I.
- GIBBS: I want to know

- who we're running from.
- Her name is Sahar.

She wants me dead.
And now she's after you. [gunshot]

Sahar was rising to power
with my brother

until I killed him.

The only way back home to Tali
is if Sahar is dead.

It's over. But I will not be going back
to prison.

[gunshots]

There's one more thing I have
to do to put all this behind me.

And this time,

I... have to do it
alone.

[♪♪] [people whooping]

[indistinct chatter]

The hell you think
you're going?

I have an appointment
with Mr. Mir.

- Carter?
- Yeah.

Yeah, let her through.

Wow.

You got, like, your own
thing going, huh?

Kind of like, uh,
apple pie or something.

Is this happening or not?

Oh, yeah.
Yeah, have a seat.

I said sit down.

Ooh...

Took a lot of balls
walking in here all by yourself

dressed like
my Aunt Karen, huh?

Hey. I got a room in the back...

It's just four walls.

But there's a pile of stuff
in there

that would shoot us
straight to the clouds. [sniffs]

The drive. Now.

Or I walk.

The money first.

[line ringing]

Make the transfer.

[phone dings]

[chuckles]

Ah.

Everything's on it?

Oh, I got no idea
what's on it, Apple Pie.

You see, I'm in the business
of information. It's what I do.

So I just stay out
of the details, you know?

Hey.

I am a hundred grand richer
than I was when you sat down.

You missed out, Apple.

Oh, come on.
I like the spunk.

Bye, Apple.

I got it.

Ziva will thank you
for your assistance.

Odette, Gibbs hasn't
heard from her since she left.

Where is she?
Why hasn't she gone home yet?

It's safer for you not to know.

Did you really think
that I was just gonna

blindly keep another one
of Ziva's secrets?

The only reason I agreed to this

was to find out
what's going on with her

and report back to my team.

Eleanor.

Give me the drive.

Or what?

- Ho, ho, ho.
- Jethro Gibbs, you're here.

- [chuckles]
- Come on.

- It's going verywhere.
- Wait.

PHINEAS:
We don't know how to stop it.

For the record, I was against
calling you this late.

But we flipped a coin
and I won.

Yeah, fair is fair.

Got it.

Ah.
Lord above.

- [chuckling]: You're an angel.
- [chuckles]

Told you he'd fix it.

I just turned off the water.

I'll come back tomorrow
with a part.

Thank you.

Huh.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

There was a sharp edge
on the pipe.

You know, if you need help
with anything, I'm here.

Jethro Gibbs,

do you like trees
with tinsel on them?

Well, yeah.
Who doesn't?

Awesome. Because I'm gonna
dedicate our tree to you,

since you're the one
who got it for us.

And I'm gonna
put this on top,

instead of a star, because
you're kind of like the police,

- except way cooler.
- Phineas.

Oh, the lights are broken.

- Can you fix them?
- Phin!

I think Agent Gibbs has helped us
enough for one night.

[phone ringing]

Hey. Bishop.

See, Mom?
I told you.

Agent calls never stop.

Wait.
What exactly did you do for her?

BISHOP: Met with a man
named Victor Mir.

Owns a club in Langdon.

Picked up this drive from him.

Ziva asked you to do that?

Not exactly.
Uh, Odette

- asked me to do it for Ziva.
- Why...

Ziva couldn't do it herself?

The place was packed.
Odette said

Ziva doesn't do well in crowds.

- Since when?
- Since when?

I don't know.
Look, whatever is on here

is worth 100K.

Odette rounded up the money
herself.

So, Odette paid for the drive,
but you walked away with it.

Yeah.
I'm done with secrets.

Damn.
Boss move, Bishop.

Yeah, but why aren't we
telling Gibbs this?

Uh, I did. I gave him and Vance
the quick version.

Vance is in Geneva,
Gibbs is on his way in.

All right,
let's see what's on it.

By the way, thank you
for including me on this.

I-I missed Ziva
last time she came,

and I did not take it well.

KASIE:
So, this Odette... she pretends

to be landlady,
she rounds up weapons and cash.

What's her deal?
TORRES: Old people are tricky.

I don't trust her.

It looks like
there's just the one photo.

100K for

two guys
walking into a building?

Wait a second, who is that?
Is that...

- That's Adam Eshel.
- Who is that?

Childhood friend
of Ziva's.

Israeli intelligence.
Shin Bet.

That other guy's holding him.

Looks like his hands are bound.

Do we know anything else
about this Adam guy?

Ziva mentioned him
in her journal

as a friend and contact,
but other than that, no.

Well, maybe Gibbs knows more.

Why is Gibbs
not here yet?

Gibbs.

What happened?

- Are you okay?
- Are you?

The number I gave you
was for emergencies only.

Yeah, I figured
there had to be one.

That's the only way
you would have pulled in

one of my agents
behind my back.

- What?
- Bishop called me.

Said that she did some kind
of underground pickup for you.

I do not know
anything about this.

I swear to you
on my life.

Then what the hell's going on?

I understand your
reasons, Odette,

but this is unacceptable.

We'll discuss it later.

That was Odette.

She was the one
who brought in Bishop.

Why?

She was trying
to protect me.

From what?

Bishop said
it was about the crowd?

The anxiety?

First time it happened
was in a crowd.

In a market.

It was the worst moment
of my life,

and you know
that's saying a lot.

Odette thought
sending you in a crowd

would trigger another attack.

The thing is panic strikes
when it wants.

Gibbs, I remember
rule number six well,

but I am truly sorry.

This thing that I told you
I was working on,

I told you I wanted to do it
on my own, and I meant it.

Hey, Ziva, I'm not doing
this again with you.

You don't want my help, go.

Do you remember my contact?

Yeah, guy who made
the drop on the bus.

Adam Eshel,
yes.

I wanted to make sure
that he was safe.

I wanted to make sure
that he was alive.

Been trying to find him.
I can't...

I can't find him.
Something is wrong.

Odette just told me that she
put out feelers to her network,

offering a reward

for intel on his whereabouts.

The drive that Bishop retrieved

was in response to that,
and I need it back.

You said going home was the only
thing that mattered to you.

Why put that on hold...

to find him?

ANCHOR:
And now for a ZNN update

on the farmhouse bombing.

The attack occurred
on an isolated farmhouse

once belonging to former

Mossad director Eli David.

Reports suggest
one possible survivor,

but that has yet to be
confirmed. In other news...

Ziva. Come.

They said the explosion
nearly took the whole house.

You are not hurt?

She's exhausted,
but she's okay.

Quickly. Better to do
this before she wakes.

Perhaps there's another way.

Ziva, this is your
way, remember?

This is the only way.

I will deliver her to Orli
and she will give her to Tony.

Adam, I cannot do this.

If you want her to
survive this, you must.

Come.

Follow her

all the way through
until she's safe with Tony.

[crying]

Your daughter will be safe.

I give you my word.
Now go.

And stick to the
shadows, hmm?

I love you, Tali.

[Ziva panting]

[Tali crying]

ANCHOR: Breaking news.
Breaking news. Breaking news.

Ziva David survives explosion

only to abandon daughter, Tali.

[distorted]: As more reports
come flooding in...

After ensuring Tali's safety,

Adam helped me put a name to
the person who wanted me dead.

Sahar.

Adam became a mole
inside Sahar's splinter group

- to try to track her down.
- TORRES: And that's how

you found out that Sahar
was coming after Gibbs.

It was an inside tip
from Adam, yes.

So when you warned Gibbs,
Adam was exposed,

outed as a mole.

I jeopardized his life,

and now I cannot find him,
and that is that.

Gibbs, I've kept my end
of the agreement.

- Can we please...
- We made a deal. From now on,

she updates us,
we update her.

- Understood?
- Yeah.

Show her.

When was this taken?

Encrypted date stamp
puts it at a week ago.

He's alive.

Am I missing something?

We killed Sahar.

She was dead on the floor.

Yeah, and all of her people

were rounded up by INTERPOL.

Yeah, so who's this guy
that's got Adam?

Okay, let's go.

Come to mama.

Give me a match.

- Yeah, light it up.
- Jimmy, what the...

Ooh!

How long have you
been sitting there?

I don't know...
Maybe ten minutes?

Gibbs and Ziva are meeting
with the team upstairs,

and I... I thought
that their next stop

would definitely be here.
I am definitely

not missing out
on seeing Ziva again.

Maybe you could say hi
next time instead of lurking

in the corner
like a evil leprechaun.

Got an update?

- Ziva! [laughing]
- [grunts]

Good to see you, Jimmy.

Not now.

Right, you got an
important mission.

Ziva, the myth, the legend...
Pleasure to meet you.

I have stuff for you.

- I'm all eardrums.
- Huh?

- Just go on.
- Okay. So, facial recognition

is up and running
on Adam's captor, and this,

as you know, is Adam and his
captor walking into a building

about a week ago.
I was able to clean up

a reflection in one
of the windows.

Get us the location
of the building.

Was it a reflection
of a street sign or...?

Please, that would've
been too easy.

No, the reflection was of

half a number
on a utility pole transformer.

So I was able to use that
plus the direction of the sun

- to triangulate a...
- ot an address?

Oh, are you
seriously not gonna,

like, let me explain
how I did this?

Okay.
It's an

old factory set for demolition.
Oof.

Looks like the building
is barely standing.

- Thank you, Kasie.
- Get us the address.

Update the team.

And I want an ID on that guy.

Okay, explain
the eardrums thing.

There's no one here.

Hey, McGee.

We got nothing.

We'll canvass the area.

We'll get back to you.

There were several buildings half a
mile back.[music playing in distance]

Perhaps someone
saw something that...

[music continues playing]

- [music stops]
- MAN: Help. Here.

ZIVA:
Adam.

I'm here.

[wheezing]

Sahar. Sahar...

Sahar...

No, no, no, no, no.

She's dead.
It's over.

No.

The woman was a decoy.

What woman?

The woman you killed.

The real Sahar is alive.

Who is she?

Where is she, Adam?

You know her.

You know her.

Adam, how do I know her?

Adam?

Adam?[grunts]

He's breathing.

We need to get him out of here.

GIBBS: I don't have a key for this.
Where's the key?

Got 'em.

[creaking]

Uh-oh.

ADAM:
You see, there she is.

I observed her from afar
the entire journey.

[short laugh]

She cried on the plane
with Orli,

But once she saw Tony

there were no
more tears.

He put her in a stroller
and took her to the park, huh?

[short laugh]

You must take these

and destroy them,
Adam, please.

I cannot bring myself to do it.

The panic?

It comes and goes
after I left Tali.

But Tali's safety is not
the only thing I worry about.

Tony's gonna
come looking for me.

Of that, I'm certain.

So will Gibbs.

They believe the story.

They believe
you are dead.

Ziva, we will
work together.

We will find this threat
against you,

and we will neutralize it.

GIBBS:
Ziva, wake up.

Ziva, you all right?

Hey, you okay?

Yeah.

- You all right?
- I'm okay, yeah.

What happened?

We fell through.

Adam. Adam!

We need to get back up there.

No, there's nothing
to hang on to.

- There's no climbing out.
- Oh...

What about
your cell phone?

Eh, there's no cell reception.

Well, then tell me
how to get out of here, Gibbs.

He's dying up there.

There's a staircase
back there.

There's a door behind
all this stuff.

You've got to be kidding me.
There's no time.

Who knows how long
it'll take us

to move all this stuff
out of the way

or if we'll even be
able to do it at all.

Look.
[grunts]

Hey. Hey, hey!
Hold up!

No, that's-that's
a load-bearing beam.

The beam above
it is rotted.

This whole place
is rotted to hell.

Okay, but if we knock
out this pole,

the entire structure will
collapse, and then we can

- just climb up the rubble.
- No, no.

If it collapses,
we'll be dead underneath it.

- We can take cover in the shaft.
- No.

We won't have time
to get there.

I can't let him die
up there alone, Gibbs.

What about Sahar?

You can't protect
your daughter from her

if you are down here...

dead.

Adam said I knew Sahar.

But I don't know who she is.

Manual labor.

It'll help you think.

We got ourselves
a match, baby.

- Meet Adam Eshel's captor.
- Who is he?

TORRES: He's a gun-for-hire,
wanted in eight countries.

Born in England, though
that's up for debate.

Mossad says he's from Belgium,
MI6 claims he's Croatian.

Does he have a name?

MCGEE:
Got an alias... Gabriel Cross.

This guy is very
into aliases.

Kasie made a list of
the ones we know of.

So, basically we don't
know who this dude is.

It's gonna take forever
to go through these names

to figure out
who hired him.

Gibbs' phone went
straight to voice mail.

Well, he and Ziva are canvassing
the area around the factory.

Could be reception's
just spotty out there.

[grunting]

Pull.

- Come on.
- [shouts]

It's meaningless.
It's no use.

We'll never move this thing.

Adam!

Okay, you can take cover
or you can help me.

Ziva. Look,
we tried it your way

and it didn't work.
I'm gonna knock down this pole.

And I'm gonna take cover,
okay?

Will you just listen to me?
Our muscles are burnt out.

Give them a minute
to recover,

and then we can
move this thing.

Gibbs,
he doesn't have a minute.

You're gonna...
Come on.

Tell me about Tali.

What?

[chuckles]

Tell me about her.

Oh...

She hates Band-Aids.

After Tony
left NCIS with Tali,

he tracked me down in Cairo.

He found me.

Since then I've told him
only what he needed to know.

We've had very little contact.

So, Cairo was

the last time I held...

Tali.

She had this, uh...

little scrape on her knee.

Oh, she hates Band-Aids.
[laughs]

So...

Tony got her to wear one

by cutting it
into the shape of a heart.

When I saw this,
I... I just knew

he would watch over her.

He would keep her safe.

But Adam has kept her safe, too.

By watching over me.

Let's get him out of here.

On three.

One, two, three, go.

[both grunting]

[exclaims]

Adam.

He doesn't have a pulse.

[grunts]

Come on, fight.
Fight, Adam.

Come on, stay with me,
stay with me.

Fight.

[grunting]

Ziva.

Call an ambulance.

- Stay with me.
- Hey.

Stop it.

[grunts]

Call an ambulance,
Gibbs!

He's gone.
He's gone.

[grunts]

Hey, you all right?

Oh, I've been better.

We've gone back
through everything

that we had on Sahar.

Gibbs. Boss, you okay?
Ziva okay?

How'd we get this wrong?

Somebody tell me how
the woman we killed

ended up some kind of fake.

Well, we got
part of it right.

The real Sahar was
in a Syrian POW camp

before Ziva's
farmhouse exploded.

And none of our sources ever
had a real description of her.

BISHOP: But when we
went through the chatter

with this person in mind,
we found two mentions

of a woman
who aided Sahar's escape.

McGEE: She was described as "dark
hair, small in stature,

but sure of herself
in weaponry."

TORRES:
We also have lots

of sources that
say that Sahar

has been at two places
at once over the years.

That's what made her
so hard to track.

BISHOP: And because no one
knew what she looked like,

we think she had a habit of
having her minions pose as her.

That's how she was able to keep
her locations under wraps.

Take down the picture.

Take it down.

I want to know
who the real Sahar is,

and where she is now.

Well, she had to be the one to
hire Cross to capture Adam.

She's still
gunning hard for Ziva.

BISHOP: Well, it makes sense that
she would be holding a grudge.

She was rising to power in that
splinter group alongside Ari.

So when Ziva killed him...
Sahar lost everything,

went off her rocker,
I know that.

Adam said Ziva
knows Sahar.

Ziva's trying to figure out
anybody who fits that bill.

This is what we got so far.
I'll look into it.

You expect more
from her, okay?

How's she doing?

Back in her office.

Adam's another significant loss
for her, Gibbs.

She needs to stop
and process that.

She's not using her head,
Jack.

And what about you?
Where are you on all this?

She asked me to help.

Yeah, but at what cost?

This is not about
who's feeling what, Jack.

We got to get something
up on that screen, now.

[indistinct chatter]

Ziva.

I subdued and questioned
the target.

He had many secrets,
but none of them

had anything to
do with Sahar.

It does not matter.

A car will arrive for you

outside that door
in four minutes.

Take this passport, head to D.C.
and wait to hear from me.

- Why? What is going on?
- I have made contact

with someone inside
Sahar's splinter group.

They're stationed in the U.S.,

and they are bringing me
into the fold.

[sighs]I will gather intel
from the inside

and find a way
to report back to you.

No, that is too dangerous.

I will not let you act
as a mole on my behalf.

This is the only way
we are going to find Sahar.

How many more years of this
can you survive, eh?

That is right. Years.

You have given years of your
life for this, and for what?

You have Tony,

and he will always
have your heart.

But Ziva...

you will always have mine.

Adam, I...

But that is the thing
about love, hmm?

Even if it cannot be returned,

it never goes away.

I will not let you risk
your life for me.

It is not up to you.

Go.

[door opens]

Odette pulled out everything
she had saved along

the way to help me remember.

- And?
- I don't know what Adam meant.

I still don't know
how I know Sahar.

What about that
list I gave you?

So far, bunch of dead ends.

Why are you here?

Sahar is smarter
than we thought.

I think you should
contact DiNozzo

and have him
take Tali into hiding.

I already told you

Sahar does not know
that Tali exists.

If I make contact,
I put my daughter at risk.

You can use a secure line
at headquarters.

Hell, you probably
have one in here.

That's not the point.

You don't want to make the call,
let me do it.

That's not the point.

You're afraid.

If he knows
how bad it is, he'd come.

I will not risk Tali
losing both of her parents.

He needs to stay with her.

Well, then you need
to trust him to do that, Ziva.

I don't trust. You know
what happens when I trust?

People end up dead. That's
what happens when I trust.

- No, we made the right call down there.
- And knocking down that pole

would have taken
less than a minute.

We could have saved him,
we could've...

No,
we would all be dead.

How do you know that
for sure?

I'm telling you,
I do.

What I don't know is
what these years did to you.

Your head
is not on straight.

No.

My judgment has
never been clearer.

Perhaps it was clouded

the day I killed my brother
to save you.

Had I not taken that shot,

none of this would be happening.

Go ahead, Ziva, blame me.

Whatever.

You need to do right
by your daughter.

[door closes]

[sighs]

I know we didn't know
each other well,

but I also know that you did
everything you could for Ziva,

so... thank you.

Hey.

You need a minute?

No.
What do we know?

Well... as you can see,
Adam's body

suffered a significant amount
of trauma.

Many of these wounds
were reopened repeatedly.

He was tortured.
What about the other one?

Cross died from gunshot wounds
inflicted by Gibbs and Ziva.

I sent his stomach contents and
swabs up to Kasie for analysis.

Did you find anything
on his cell phone?

Burn phone, never used.

You got to make it right, Ellie.

What do you want,
me to send flowers?

All right, listen up, people.

I did some digging
on this Odette lady.

Turns out that
she's an ex-CIA.

- She was an instructor at MOTC.
- W-What is that?

It's like hardcore
ranger school for spies.

And back in the day,
she got fired from it. Why?

Frickin' classified.

Oh, man, w... You...

And you're on
her bad side, Bishop.

McGEE:
You stole her drive.

And she's still
furious with you.

Well...

That's what
I'm saying, Ellie.

You cannot piss off that kind
of badass and just walk away.

That's like...

- Something you would do?
- KASIE: Okay.

Fascinating as this is,
I found something.

There was a large amount
of a chemical brightening agent

on the swab of Cross'
left hand.

- Meaning what?
- A whole lot of UV stamps.

The sheer amount of them
tells us two things.

One, he wasn't big
on handwashing. Gross.

And two...

He frequented the place
where he got them.

KASIE:
Ooh. Where you been

hanging out, B?

Victor Mir's club.

The-the stamp gets you
into the VIP area.

But Victor said
he didn't know anything

about what was on that drive.

But if Cross here was
a regular VIP at the club...

Victor lied.
He has to know something.

Well, let's pick him up.
Is he at the club?

Always.
But he's unstable and armed

and he's got security and
a place full of innocent people.

So, I mean, we have to
walk in with a plan.

TORRES:
Mm.

I can't wait to see
where she's going with this.

[♪♪] [people whooping, chattering]

Hey, hey, hey. Let her through,
let her through.

Ah, ha, ha.
Apple, Apple, Apple.

Somebody nuked
the pie, huh?

They pressed a button

and put it in some heels.
[inhales sharply]

You look too good
for this place.

Couldn't stop thinking
about your offer.

Remind me,
'cause my head is, like...

[imitates explosion, chuckles]

That room in back.

A trip to the clouds.

[both chuckle]

♪ This little light of mine ♪

♪ I'm gonna let it shine ♪

- Sit.
- Wait, wait, wait.

I have something to tell you.
Mmm.

Merry Christmas.

- [laughs]: What?
- [chuckles]

Victor Mir.
NCIS.

Special Agent Gibbs.
Got a few questions...

[groans]

Hola, Victor.

Uh...

You looking for this?

Oh, look, Apple...

Hands on your head.

- [sighs]
- A woman named Sahar.

- Uh...
- What do you know about her?

You know, I got some friends.
They can make your day real bad.

You should think
about that...

[grunts]

Who is Sahar?
Where is she?

She's not...
I don't where she is.

But you know her.

I never met her.
She's...

She's, like,
a pretend waitress or...

- The hell does that mean?
- Oh! God.

She goes by Sarah.
She's got a kid.

[exclaims]

What's the kid's name?

What's the name?

Phineas.

Adam said "You know Sahar."

He wasn't talking to Ziva.
He was talking to you, Gibbs.

- Can I help you?
- You Phineas' mom?

I said not to tell her.
She gets mad.

GIBBS:
Hmm. You okay?

[laughs softly]

SARAH:
Thank you for watching him.

And I will be back
by tomorrow night.

BISHOP:
Gibbs?

Phin,
where are you?

You scared me.

- Where's your mom?
- She's at work.

She didn't want me
to tell you this, but...

sometimes she leaves me alone
at night to go.

What's wrong,
Jethro Gibbs?

All right, what do we know?

The boy's at your house
with an agent?

McGee brought me up to speed.

I said
what do we know?

We've contacted all diners
within a 20-mile radius.

BISHOP: None of them
have an employee matching

Sarah's description,
so the waitress job

was likely just part of the act.

McGEE: We think she
moved in next door

to lie in wait for Ziva
to come back.

She used Phineas
to get close to you.

She's obviously willing
to use any means necessary

to get what she wants,
Gibbs.

Yeah, or maybe we called
the wrong diner.

Gibbs, why are you
questioning this?

Victor said it was her,
and I saw your face...

You knew what he was gonna say
before he said it.

I want proof.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

McGee told me
how much this boy means to you.

Now, whose judgment
is being clouded?

You don't do anything
until I say so.

If Victor knows
this much about Sahar,

it's likely he knows more.

We should
question him again.

Well, that's not happening.

He lawyered up
on the way to NCIS.

What did my mom do?

I don't know.

Maybe nothing.

But I need you
to help me find her.

If something happens to her,

I'll be alone.

[sniffling softly]

Phin.

Do you know where she is?

No. I thought she was at work.
I swear.

Promise me
you won't let her get hurt.

[sniffles]

Uh, I said the thing.

- I said "lawyer."
- I heard.

But until he arrives,

I thought you and I
could chew the lard.

What? What does that ev...
I-I... No, no, no, no, no.

You can't do that.
Hey, there's rules.

Well, I don't work here, and...

no one knows
I'm here anyway, so...

this little chat you
and I are gonna have...

It's gonna be off the books.

What?

Your friend.

Cross tortured a good man.

Look, I don't even know

what ride you're on
right now, but, uh,

I already said
everything I know,

so you can try
to scare me...

- Oh! No, no, no.
- This knife

has met deviants
in the streets of Israel,

in the sweatshops of Turkey,
the high seas, the Horn of Africa,

and every alley, gutter
and rotting pit in between,

- and it never once,
- [grunts]

- Never once... has it failed me.
- Uh-huh, uh-huh.

Ow. Okay, you're...
you're Ziva David. Okay.

Just lose the knife,
and I'll talk, okay?

- I don't like knives... I don't...
- You talk. You have to talk!

I don't like knives!

All right, look, listen...

Cross was holding
your friend, right,

but h-he never tortured him.

Sahar did that herself.

Yeah. She'd be like,
"I'm at my waitressing job,"

but really she was out
looking for leads on you.

Her "work nights"...

she'd end up cutting up
your friend or whatever,

try to get him to say where
you were, but he never did.

How do you know this?

Sahar would show up
at that building

to see your friend, and bam...

Cross would leave.

He'd come to the club, drink,

spill his guts...
That's how I know.

[yells]

Why should I believe you?

Only time
that Cross talked to Sahar

was when she went
to that building, okay? See?

She probably thinks
everything is still normal.

Sahar's on her way
to question Adam now.

Oh.

Hey!

What the...?

[clatter in distance]

[gunshots]

[grunting]

[grunts]

[yells]

[groans]

Ari and I...

had a vision for our people.

We were building
a legacy.

And with one shot...

you ended it.

But our story isn't over...

[sniffs]
you and I.

Just last night...

when I came here

to visit Adam...

...something happened.

He was delirious with pain,

and he thought

I was you.

And he said to me,

"Your daughter will be safe.

You have my word."

[panting]

You have a daughter.

[grunts loudly,
kicks wooden beam]

After I kill you,

I will find her...

and I will end your legacy.

My daughter...

will be everything
she's meant to be.

[grunting, kicking]

How did he know
where Sahar would be?

The laptop.

The one Phineas had left
at Gibbs' house.

Sahar had bugged it.

Phin had no idea.

But Gibbs...

He figured it out.

McGEE:
We traced the bug

to a burn phone
that Sahar had on her.

Pinged it for a location.

14 years ago,

Ziva kills her brother Ari.

14 years and one bullet.

Look what it's left in its wake.

ODETTE: Right or wrong,
every time we act,

something is lost that
we can never regain.

Don't you agree?

I'm not going to apologize,
if that's why you called me here.

Do you know why I asked you
to retrieve that drive?

You said Ziva
doesn't do well in crowds.

I did say that.

And yet I'm fully aware
her anxiety

could strike at any moment.

Crowd or empty room.

So you knew she was too proud
to call Gibbs herself,

but she needed him.

And, in a way,
he needed her, too.

They had unfinished business
to address.

Why involve me at all?

Why not just call Gibbs?

Two birds with one stone,
my dear.

I had a performance
to evaluate.

Took a lot of guts to walk away
from me with that drive.

I see a certain...

promise in you, Agent Bishop.

I'd like
to offer you some...

specialized training,

if you'd be interested.

[toy's siren blaring]

[door opens, closes]

- How's the arm?
- Nothing serious.

I'll live.

Phineas?

He's asleep upstairs.

I haven't told him yet.

[sighs]

[sighs heavily]

After you left my office,
I did what you said.

I called Tony and I told him
to take Tali into hiding.

For everyone's safety,
I do not know where they went.

Once they are there
and secure, Tony...

will make contact with me.

You looking for a place
to stay till then?

[laughs]

I should not
have let you mourn me.

I should have come to you
after the explosion.

I should have trusted you.

You would have
been there for me.

Like you were there tonight.

It cost a lot.

But I will never regret
taking that shot.

Like I'll never regret
the one I took for you, either.

PHINEAS [in distance]:
Jethro Gibbs?

Are you there?
