NCIS: Origins

The rules gave my life order. But now, without Shannon and Kelly, there was no

order. My dad, well, he knew more than I ever gave him credit for.

Go home!

I want you out by the time I get back.

Pruitt was arrested on charges of bigamy. That's a federal crime.

You've seen this?

Doug Westmont. Aide Pruitt's blood -sucking lawyer.

That fool's on television more than the president is.

It's getting too dangerous.

Then I'm gonna get you out. I think it's in everyone's best interest to put

Manuel Santiago into witness protection.

Thank you.

At first, it seemed like it was all going to be okay.

Diane had her job up in Los Angeles.

I was at Pendleton.

Those first couple of weekends, we couldn't get enough of each other.

Oh, I miss those baby blues.

But after a few weeks, the new wore off, and reality set in.

Diane!

I just got paged. I got to go in.

Sorry. It wasn't anybody's fault, really. It was just life being life.

Well, that plus the fact that long -distance marriage is for idiots.

Yeah. Oh, my God, I'm so sorry. I got stuck in a meeting.

Are you still in L .A.? Yeah.

And I got handed a ton of documents to prove free for Monday morning.

You didn't start on dinner yet, did you?

That's okay.

Do what you need to do.

I said long distance was for idiots.

And we'll figure it out.

I love you.

I love you, too.

L .A. wasn't even that far away.

But it felt like it was getting farther.

It felt like the distance was killing us.

It started showing up even when we were ten feet apart.

I knew if we were going to pull out of this rut, something had to give.

But instead, things were about to get a lot more complicated.

Dad, what are you doing here?

Nice to see you too, son.

I told you it wasn't a good time. I got a lot going on.

Well, you got to do what you got to do.

I'm here to see her anyway.

About damn time I get to know my daughter -in -law.

Evening, Mr. Gibbs.

You get that hand out of here. I'm a hugger. Come on.

Hope you don't mind me camping out on the couch.

Of course not. Right, Leroy?

We're so glad you're here.

Morning, son.

Eggs? Bacon.

Drizzle of honey. Just how you like it.

You know, that couch there is pretty comfortable.

And I really hate you came all this way, Dad. I'm heading to work, and Diane's

got to go back to L .A., so... Well, you know, I've been asking you for weeks.

When's a good time for me to come get to know your new bride?

And you kept putting me off. Yeah, because it wasn't a good time.

What the hell is that?

That's your rule box.

I fished that out of the trash after you cleared out the old house.

Why? So I thought maybe you'd want to have it back now some time has passed.

Wow, smells like heaven.

What is that, honey?

Just a drizzle.

I was just telling Dad we're both headed out.

Actually, I called into work. My boss is letting me take the day off.

Wouldn't want to miss a chance to hear all the most embarrassing little Leroy

stories. Look, Diane, I can't stay.

I know.

You think we need you to have a good time?

We do not.

So I guess I'll see you for dinner.

We'll be here, bud.

Oh. Hold up, son.

Bacon in a cup.

That's where you got that.

He gets all these best ideas from me.

Yo, MJ.

What are you doing hiding out in here for?

I'm not hiding out. I sent Gail across the street to the payphone to test out

the new extension system.

Earl IT making upgrades again? He's trying to make it so you can dial in and

bypass the secretaries instead of us having to transfer the calls.

Mary Jo, I'm back.

Good luck.

What are you doing back here? I told you to call the rec room extension.

I did.

I don't think Earl IT is very smart.

Okay, forget about the phones.

Admiral McCain is arriving here this afternoon. He is? The head of NIS is

here? I've told you this twice a day since Tuesday. Why is the Admiral

He never shows up unless it's bad news.

I have no idea.

Wheeler wants us to keep him updated on absolutely everything.

Hey.

What's wrong with you now?

Yeah, what's going on? You need a hug? No.

I just... My dad showed up last night.

He and Diane are spending the day together, and the three of us are

have dinner tonight.

That sounds nice.

You don't know my dad. Right now, He's probably asking Diane personal questions

and making her feel uncomfortable and complaining about how my cabinets don't

shut flush.

I noticed that about your cabinet. It's not about the cabinet.

Never mind.

Did I miss anything?

Well, I just booked my first real slot at the Laugh Lodge. Dang, look at you.

Thank you.

On a not -so -delightful note, Admiral Kane's coming to town, which can't be

good. What's he doing here?

The admiral is giving a big speech at a town hall meeting. You might have read

in the papers the community is pretty salty about SECNAV's fleet reduction.

They think it's going to tank the local economy.

And SECNAV said an admiral came to take the punches.

I think the admiral can handle it. I hear he's come up with a slideshow about

how the Navy is going to continue to support the local community.

His little buddy ain't coming, is he?

If by his little buddy you mean his deputy commander, Leonard Miller, then

he is. Oh, and he wants our help.

What? Skirting me. Yeah, the town hall meeting's gonna be packed. Standing room

only. And with people that upset, things could get out of hand. Well, that's all

well and fine, Cliff. That Miller's a disrespectful piece of crap.

Yeah, I know. Last time you worked with him, I never heard the end of it. Yeah,

that Ivy League uppity jackass talks down to me because I got a Texas accent.

Damn it.

When did you start shining your shoes?

Last time the admiral was here, he commented on their lack of luster.

Damn it, I... Come on, Cliff.

We both know what's going on here.

Mary Jo told me Jason lost his internship.

Yes, Michael. My son was fired from the FBI mailroom, so I ran upstairs to shine

my shoes.

Excuse me, sir?

Yes, Gail. I just wanted to let you know that Gib's dad showed up in town and is

spending the day with Diane.

The three of them are having dinner tonight.

Why are you telling me this?

Mary Jo told me that when the admiral's in town, you want to know absolutely

everything. That's all I got for now, but I'll keep you posted.

Deputy Commander Miller wants you to meet him at Daly. He wants to review the

security for the Admiral's speech.

How's he doing at Daly?

Eating, I guess.

Look, just sit up straight and use big words. He'll think you're plenty smart.

In order for us to properly assess security, we're going to need a detailed

itinerary.

The Admiral and his wife, Julia, will be touching down at 1500 today.

They will be transported from the hotel to the town hall in the morning.

You know, I can't say I've ever seen somebody order...

Buffalo wings at a business lunch.

About that itinerary that we require.

Yeah.

What's that?

It's a PDA, a personal digital assistant. Personal digital assistant,

It's like a tiny computer?

Yes, dear, very tiny.

I have the Admiral's itinerary here, but I'll fax it over after a run. Have a

meeting.

You should cover my salad?

Yes, and don't worry about the tip. I will calculate it.

Okay.

What was that about?

What?

Why are you speaking in proper English?

Because that dumbass thinks I'm a stupid head.

I heard your daddy's in town.

Y 'all getting dinner with the wife?

Yeah, you know how he is. Told him it was a bad time. He didn't care.

Yeah? He just shows up. He thinks he knows everything about everything.

Is that what daddies are supposed to do?

is probing now smitty i'm calling stab wound he's bleeding out

millie's

in surgery you're saying the knife didn't hit nothing vital so he'll be all

right didn't say that he lost a lot of blood we won't know more till he's out i

can't believe this The Admiral's deputy commander gets stabbed in front of two

of my agents, and the attacker gets away.

Hey, we didn't actually see him get stabbed.

Do you think the Admiral cares about Semantic?

Wheeler! Admiral Kane.

I thought you were going to wake me. Where is he, Cliff?

He's still in surgery, sir. How did he get attacked on base?

We're working on that, Mrs. Kane. I have my best team on it.

We don't know much.

Miller was stabbed from behind. It appears his tiny computer thing was

His PDA?

Why steal that?

I don't know. Miller just...

Used it to keep my schedule, which at this point is pretty much public anyway.

The attacker ran off with it. I seen a woman follow Miller out right before it

happened. We're talking to witnesses at Daly's trying to identify her now.

Ma 'am, security directed me to park in the lower lot.

Has anybody notified Leonard's wife?

Not yet, ma 'am. Jake, we need to call her. She can't hear this from anybody

else.

Maggie, you do have Becky Miller's number, don't you? Of course, Mrs. Kane.

Great.

Let's go find a phone.

Miller said that PDA had the Admiral's whole damn itinerary. I'm aware.

His entire security plan is compromised.
