- [to Gibbs]
- Marine Private First Class Tomas Tamayo: My mother used to tell me this story about a Marine. He came to help out our village. But the drug cartel came after him, shot him. He almost died. She hid him, helped him heal. That was you. And when you finally got well, you told her if she ever needed any help, she could give that number to any Marine and you would find her. She made me memorize that number. You're the reason I became a Marine.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Oh, it could have been that girl I met at the concession stand while my date was in the bathroom.
- Ziva David, Mossad Liaison: You need a secretary.
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: Or a therapist.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Or both!
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Rose had a son?
- Mike Franks: Uh, yeah. Was about a year old when I brought her here.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You knew?
- Mike Franks: I'm guessing you didn't.
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: Don't know what the "G" stands for but it's nine digits. Could be a military service number. I'll run it.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You don't have to. It's mine.
- Ziva David, Mossad Liaison: [after Ziva fires Medina's Beretta on the range] I prefer the SIG.
- Marine Staff Sergeant Vincente Medina: Lot of women have trouble with the Beretta. Thing's got too much of a kick.
- Ziva David, Mossad Liaison: Your sight is a few millimeter off.
- Marine Staff Sergeant Vincente Medina: Really?
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Really.
- [Medina looks at the target Ziva shot]
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Only one person knew about her... you.
- Mike Franks: Eighteen years is a long time, Probie.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: She's in DC, today, Mike.
- Mike Franks: What do you want me to say?
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Whatever it is you're not saying!
- Ziva David, Mossad Liaison: There is a Smurf war...
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: "Turf war."
- Ziva David, Mossad Liaison: - between two competing gangs.
- Marine Staff Sergeant Vincente Medina: No talking on the range, please!
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Well that's going to be a real problem, Staff Sergeant Medina. 'Cause I'm real talky and I have a badge!
- [Shows his badge]
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Is there somewhere we *can* talk?
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: You've never left the scene of a crime before I arrived until this case, Jethro.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Yeah, had something else to do.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Something to do with your Marine Corps service number?
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: [enters] I was wondering the same thing myself. You're avoiding me.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I've been busy solving a murder, Leon. When I have something you'll be the first to know.
- Ziva David, Mossad Liaison: Sit down!
- Victor 'Popeye' Carmado: I ain't sitting down!
- Ziva David, Mossad Liaison: Sientate! Or do you want La Bonita to sit your ass down?
- Victor 'Popeye' Carmado: [Meekly as he's sitting down] I thought you forgot about me, that's all.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I've got nothing to hide, Leon.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: Everybody's got something to hide!
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [as Leon picks up Gibb's classified Service folder] Some good stuff in the last five pages.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: What's the truth?
- Mike Franks: The truth is *she* didn't want you to know!... She knew you were still putting the pieces together after Shannon and Kelly. Didn't want to complicate your life. Guess she didn't get her wish after all.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: You just shot somebody, Franks!
- Mike Franks: Yeah, all by the book, Leon. Retired Agent-involved shooting. That's still a form KJ-65, right? Nice talking to you, Leon.
- [ends the call]
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [running after Franks] Franks, got a question for you.
- Mike Franks: [continues to the elevator] Got a plane to catch.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Eighteen years ago. Columbia. Gibbs was doing drug interdiction down there. Tomas is 18, from Columbia. Knows Gibbs's Marine Service Number.
- Mike Franks: Question?
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Is Gibbs Tomas's father?
- Mike Franks: Tell Probie, thanks for the lend.
- [Removes his tie and gives it to Tony]
- Mike Franks: Let me talk to that kid, I'll get him to tell us what the hell's going on here.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I'm afraid I can't do that, Mike. I let him go.
- Mike Franks: You *what*?
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You want to find something, you follow it. Learned that one from you.
- [Franks and Gibbs start to leave. Tony and Ziva start to follow. Gibbs stops them]
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Uh-uh. You two, MTAC, with McGee.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Got it, Boss.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: It'll lead us to the truth.
- Mike Franks: [scoffs] The truth.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Yeah! Which you should have told me seventeen years ago!
- Abby Sciuto: [about Gibbs' service number being found at the crime scene] That's like shining the Bat-symbol and Batman showing up.
- Victor 'Popeye' Carmado: You oughta leave, man.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: But we just got here!
- Victor 'Popeye' Carmado: Yeah, but this is a very dangerous neighborhood.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [indicates Ziva] That's why I brought her.
- Victor 'Popeye' Carmado: [smirks] La bonita es un federale.
- Chuy: La federale es un buena.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: La bonita will kick your ass.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [re: Gibbs] What was he doing in Colombia 17 years ago?
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: [enters] 18 years ago, and it's classified, DiNozzo.
- [looks at the MTAC screen]
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: Is that classified, too, or can you share with your Director?
- [awkward silence]
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: We're, uh, tracking a suspect for Gibbs, Director.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: Franks is with him?
- [another awkward silence]
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: That's what I thought.
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: PFC Tamayo just left Quantico, he's now headed towards Liberty Heights. So what do you want us to do?
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: Whatever you were doing before I walked in!
