NCIS

Your neighbor wasn't fishing with his dogs.

He was drowning 'em!

Gibbs!

I thought about those dogs.

I reacted.

I have no choice but to suspend you.

Indefinitely.

I need your badge and your gun.

Hey, how's Gibbs?

I'm not sure. He said,

"There's more to life than the job."

Gibbs said that?

Yeah.

Body in Reston.

Normally this is when you'd say, "Grab your gear."

Yeah. Not this time.

So I liked her post and she liked mine.

But then she left this weird comment, you know?

So I'm still just trying to figure out

if she's even into me.

Why don't you just, you know, call her?

Yeah. That's-that's a... That's a good idea, Grandpa.

And then what? Take her on a hot date

of shuffleboard and sarsaparilla?

Would a grandpa haul ass like this?

Ten bucks says I beat you to Baker Street bypass!

Make it $20 and you're on!

Come on!

What happened?

The chain snapped.

Looks like I'm calling an Uber.

I'm sorry, man.

You want me to wait for you?

No, I'm fine. You go ahead.

All right.

Look on the bright side,

you just saved yourself 20 bucks!

Grandpa.

20 bucks!

Let's see you out here racing kids half your age,

you little punk.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

My God.

Hey!

Mike.

What the hell is this?

That appears to be our firearms qualification, Nick.

I know what it is.

I'm talking about your perfect score.

Yep.

Yep?

You max it out at 300

and all I got is a "yep"?

Yep.

I'm good with guns, bro.

No one is this good, bro.

What are you doing?

You sneaking in hours at the range?

Okay. That's how you're gonna play it.

All right, I respect that.

I won't ask you any more questions.

I'll just ask McGee.

McGee?

What? Yes? What?

You haven't been listening to our conversation?

No. No, I'm reading the news.

Parker James trial starts today. Parker who?

How many different Parkers have you arrested?

This Parker James.

Yeah, I remember this tool.

You should. He ran the biggest Ponzi scheme

in Navy history. Stole millions from sailors.

$30 million, to be exact.

Hello? Actually, a pretty brilliant scheme.

Well, he confessed to Gibbs, so he must not be that brilliant.

Well, he was smart enough to make the money disappear.

Can't spend that money in prison, baby.

Assuming he's convicted.

Gibbs is testifying. So, as soon as the jury hears

about James' confession, it's over.

Thanks. We got a body.

I say it wrong?

Well, no.

But, usually, when Gibbs is gone,

I get the "got a body" calls.

Probably got the wrong extension.

My ringer's not working.

Okay. I'm here, Gibbs.

What's up?

Prosecutor just dropped me as a witness

in the James case.

Good morning to you, too.

You know about this?

Yeah. She called me a couple days ago.

Said she was leaning that way.

What'd you say?

I told her whatever choice she made,

we would fully support.

Who's "we"?

The agency.

So you... you agree with her.

Yeah. I do.

Gibbs, you assaulted an unarmed suspect.

No prosecutor in their right mind

is going to put a witness on the stand with that kind

of baggage. Leon, he was... he was shooting,

he was drowning dogs.

It doesn't matter.

It does to me.Yeah.

Well, you made that clear when you put him in the hospital.

But the choice you made has consequences.

What I did has nothing to do with Parker James.

His defense attorney

will claim it has everything to do with your credibility.

But a jury might find what you did do a bit unsettling.

I'm the only person that heard him confess.

I don't take the stand,

this guy will walk.

She thinks she can get a conviction even without you.

She thinks.

Do you know how many lives that Parker James destroyed?

Course I do.

So do I.

Call her back.

Fight.

Not this time, Gibbs.

You're just gonna let this guy go free?

No.

If Parker James walks,

that's on you.

All right. So, Petty Officer Second Class Michael Benson.

25 years old.

Based on the size of his calves,

I'd say he spent a good portion of those years riding a bike.

Any witnesses?

No, not yet.

Streets are pretty empty in the morning.

The cops say a jogger found him.

All right.

Talk to me, Jimmy.

You're getting pretty good at that.

Thanks.

Work in progress.

He's got massive soft tissue damage

on his torso and arms.

He was struck at quite a high speed.

Judging by the depth of this gash on his head,

I'd say he hit the pavement pretty hard.

You know, I don't see skid marks.

The vehicle didn't even slow down.

So our driver

was either asleep or drunk.

Or maybe this wasn't an accident.

Guys?

Got another bike.

No frame damage on this one. But

chain's broken.

Looks like our petty officer wasn't riding alone.

So we're not only missing a vehicle,

we're missing a witness.

I saw a camera up there that caught the crime scene.

If we're lucky, it'll, help us find 'em both.

This is why I don't ride bikes on streets.

Streets are for cars.

Just like the ocean is for sharks.

Which is also why I don't...

Kasie.

Yeah.

Video, please.

Yeah, okay. And before you ask,

no, I cannot zoom in any more than this.

Only one cyclist?

For now.

Okay. So I guess that rules out

license plate number.

What about make and model?

No and no.

Black sedan is all you're gonna get.

But there is a second act.

The mystery second rider.

He must have seen the hit-and-run.

Where's his bike?

Broken chain.

What's he doing?

He's looking around

to make sure the coast is clear.

Dude, what are you doing? Call 911.

Check for a pulse or something.

He does something.

What the hell?

My thoughts exactly.

I mean, what kind of a monster

would leave their friend to die?

The kind who knows something we don't.

Petty Officer Benson.

Assigned to NSA Bethesda.

C.O. said that he was a model sailor.

Parents said everybody loved him.

Parents always say that.

But someone driving
