NCIS

I wish I could stay but I have to fly

Oh, no That's terrible You actually said it

I thought I was gonna ruin the moment by saying the wrong thing

What could you possibly say ?

I don't know Anything involving the word layover

- Okay - Okay

All right

I can't believe you did this to me I love you

And you stabbed me in the back

At least I looked you in the eyes

Oh, Cheryl

Is he okay ? Is he all right ?

What could it be for McGee ?

Cookies

Those would have to be some huge cookies

Care package from home

Winter clothes ? Mittens ?

Too heavy

I'm bored I don't want to play anymore

I don't care

- Well,I am opening it - Thank God

Oh, goody, they're here

Goody ? Who says goody ?

What is it ?

This is my Mac SE

Got it for my eleventh birthday

She is my first

This is going to get really strange, isn't it ?

Going to ?

These are chapters of my life

From the earliest discovery to that palpable connection

And... the eventual evolution, Look at this

Here I am making the transition of PC

I'll alert the Smithsonian

Maybe they can make a space for your exhibit

The Chronicles of a Teenage Shut-in

How do you rember your childhood ?

Vaguely

You have no sense of history

I do

And so does Petty officer Kevin Lim

He's history ?

Oh, yeah Let's go

Grab your mittens It's cold out there

I forgot my passport, I came back, and I saw that he was...

You didn't see who did it ?

I didn't have to

It was Cheryl his ex-fiance'

The engagement was just broken off

I need to take your statement

- All right - Okay

Here, let's go inside for some privacy

Boss, got an eyewitness who saw a woman with blood on her hands

headed around the corner

Not the stewardess

Doesn't fit the flight attendant's description

The ex Canvass

The reason I missed "I" Street is because I was expecting to find

"I" Street two blocks past "K" Street

It is a rare place in this world Mr. Palmer

Where reason is the best compass

Miss the turn ?

H, I, J, K That's how the alphabet works, right ?

Goes the same forwards as backwards

In Hebrew, there is no "J"

Apart from the name of the food court at George Washington University

There is no "J" Street in the District

Perhaps that's where you've been spending your time, Mr. Palmer

- Instead of going to class - I suppose that's

Further evidence of my lesser educationThat I did not know that

The fault lies not with the institute of higher learning, Mr. Palmer

But with your observational skills

In 1791, A Parisian Pierre Charles L'Enfant

was commissioned to design a city plan

Okay, here we go

The Capitol is at the center

Four quadrants radiate, northwest southwest, northeast, southeast

The north-south streets are numbered the east-west streets are lettered

When the alphabet is exhausted, they go syllabically

First, two syllables, then, three syllables Macomb is followed by Newark

And Albemarle is followed by Brandywine

I understand, Doctor

I failed one class

That doesn't make me a bad student

So then, why is there no "J" Street ?

Sorry

13th and L

One block north, two blocks east

Need you here, Ziva

Thirteenth and L Be right there, Gibbs

I will make up the class

Maintain the scene

Make it up to me right now

- Really ? - Yeah Come on

Got her

Stand up Show me your hands

Hands behind your back

Upward angle of the trajectory likely severed the abdominal aorta

The shape indicates a clockwise twisting

The assailant was probably right-handed

Refrain from conjecture

Exsanguination lead to death

Judging by the diameter of the pooling I'd say he bled out within...

Three minutes

Cold surface expedites coagulation

Perhaps four

Why is there no J Street ?

I just told you, I don't know

And I just gave you a clue to the answer

We are discussing the construction of the very streets

where democracy would stride freely

Excuse me, Sorry That's a nice hat

Excuse me, Sorry

So, is that her ?

- Yeah, quickest case ever - Yeah, sets a new record

Out of the way Nothing to see here, folks

This was the transformation of so much

It was the bedrock of the most lofty ideals

These were not idle decisions Mr. Palmer

Even in 1791

Doctor,look out Look out

Doctor

- Doctor - Get her

Stop her, Stop her

- Hold her - Got her Got her

That way She's wearing a green scarf covering her face

Ducky

Stay still, Duck

I'm all right, Jethro

It's just a defensive wound

Portable X-ray to 256 North

Jimmy

How is Ducky ?

Multiple superficial lacerations

plus the blade finally embedded in the midpalmar space

possibly damaging or even severing flexor tendons and lumbrical muscles

Best-case scenario entails weeks of physical therapy

After reconstructive surgery

He should be out any second now, so

So the short answer is he's alive

What ? Oh, yeah, yeah

Because when you hear "Ducky got stabbed"

You don't necessarily take that part for granted

Yeah Sorry, sorry

It's okay

You are very, uh, calm

I am

If I keep going to Crazytown every time one of you gets hurt

I'm gonna have to have my mail forwarded

Ducky

Abby ? How kind of you to visit

Oh, they gave you morphine

Well, just a drop

Duck, anything you remember about the attack ?

my-my glasses

Sweetie, you held on to them for me while I went under the knife

It's ironic that the solution to one knife should be

Mr. Palmer, would would you finish that thought for me ?

Sure, Doctor

And you need to send for a substitute ME

Jordan

Dr. Hampton ?

Yeah on my desk you'll find her number

while I myself lay here getting much numb-er

Nurse, more anesthetic

And don't spare the horses

Okay, he's zonked out of his gourd and he's still playing with words

Impressive

Abs weapon, prints

How am I supposed to log this ?

Because technically, it's the weapon of interest in two separate cases

I'll figure it out

One of the residents captured the actual attack on their camera phone ?

Neighbors seem to think a crime scene makes better watching than

Daytime television

Quality isn't great

Let me see if I can clean this up a bit

Doctor ?

Stop her, Stop her

She's what, approximately five-foot, three ?

Mid to late thirties She's wearing a hijab

Likely Muslim

All right, this should do it

Sounds like Pashtun or Dari

Might be a regional Afghani dialect

We can get a linguist on it

So you're dead Sorry about that

Poor fellow

You know, if it's any consolation, all indications are that you went out

with a bang

Oh, forget it

- Dr. Hampton - Jim

Oh, you prefer Jimmy

Jim Palmer was a pitcher for the Orioles

I was named after him, but

I have never really liked baseball

Noted

Well, please, you may call me Jordan

I was named after a body of water towards which I bear no ill will

Why would Dr. Mallard need a last minute fill-in ?
