NCIS

Witnesses said the Mercedes

was driving on the wrong side of the road.

Vic swerved to avoid him.

Where's the driver?

At the ER.

I just got a page

from the hospital.

The other driver's injuries were minimal.

No-no sign of intoxication.

The deceased was a civilian accountant at DoD.

Handles Navy payroll.

And it looks like he made an unauthorized withdrawal.

What's a Navy accountant doing

with a bag full of cash and a .45?

I cantell you he appears to be

suffering from something called LEOPARD syndrome.

Here it comes. It's an acronym

for a rare genetic disease.

freckling around the face...

Lentigines,

as they're called. Very, very rare.

We're gonna need a statement from the other driver.

I'll bring him in.

Are we charging him? Maybe manslaughter?

He wasn't drunk, but

he still killed someone.

Or not.

Doc?

I got multiple stab wounds.

Looks like a switchblade, maybe a small hunting knife.

He was probably bleeding for hours before the crash.

This man didn't die from the accident.

He was murdered.

Someone's in the trunk.

Hello?

Someone let me out of here! Hello?

It's okay.

Everything's fine.

What's your name, Marine?

Gibbs, sir.

Sergeant Leroy Jethro Gibbs.

Hope no one has any plans

this weekend.

We are going out.

I have plans every weekend. Yeah, and I'm

just finishing up the case for that kidnapping.

Sorry. Attendance is mandatory.

What's up, man? I haven't seen you this excited

since

um... nerd things.

Dude,

it is the 20th anniversary of the day I decided

to become an NCIS agent.

Okay. That is a big deal.

I'm in, brah.

Wow. Me, too.

Me, three, assuming I'm invited.

Course. No, but the question is,

do I invite Gibbs?

Ooh, man, is that a trick question?

No. See, here's the thing.

Obviously, I want him to come, right?

But every time we ask him to go anywhere, he says no.

So I've been thinking maybe if I don'tinvite Gibbs,

you know...

How long have you been overthinking this?

Counting yesterday?

If you really want Gibbs to come, just ask him.

Ask me what?

Um, well, boss, I'm taking out some of the team

this weekend, for drinks,

and I was wondering...

Have fun.

Grab your gear.

We got a body.

Boss, you sure you don't want to come?

I'd love to have you.

Maybe next time.

Just so you know, it's-it's my anniversary.

McGee, I'm about done with anniversaries for the year.

Hey,

so where's the body? In our basement.

If the body's still warm, it means

he's been here 12 hours or less.

But once Lenny the Liver Probe

does his magic, I'll be able to be more specific.

Who is he? No idea. We were

waiting for you before we looked for a wallet.

Well, an A-plus to you for following protocol.

Palmer. Yeah?

Wallet. Right, yeah.

All right, our mystery guest is...

NCIS Special Agent Ronald Calloway

of the Carolina office.

Must have been part

of that interoffice exchange last week.

Call Carolina. Let 'em know.Okay.

What do you think happened? Well, based

on petechial hemorrhaging, I'd say he

asphyxiated about

nine hours ago.

How?

I'm not sure.

No signs of strangulation. Clearly didn't drown.

Looks like he burned that notebook over there.

Maybe that had something to do with his death.

It's not likely.

I-I really shouldn't speculate any further

until we get Agent Calloway here

into autopsy.Thanks.

Whoever he really is,

that was SAC at Carolina... there is

no Special Agent Calloway at their office

or at any NCIS office.

The credentials are fake.

Run his prints.

That's gonna be tough.

His fingerprints have been burned off.

What was this guy doing down here?

So, Torres said the security sweeps

are almost done... no sign of any bombs.

You check the roof?

Yeah, and everyone in the building's been accounted for.

We're pretty sure he was alone.

All right, I think we need to put a pin

in this evacuation for now.

But as soon as you find out

who that man was, I want to know. You heard him.

All right. Well, we don't have any I.D., but...

According to the sign-in log,

the intruder entered the building last night.

Wandered around for a little bit...

Then he went into the subbasement.

Why'd he do that? Well, I have a theory.

I think he might have been trying to hack into our network.

See, his body was found

next to the main interconnect hub.

That's what connects up every NCIS office in the world.

What was he after?

No clue. I mean, the only thing we found on him

besides his I.D. was that notebook. And he burned it.

I guess he didn't want us to see what was inside. But obviously,

somebody's targeting us.

Find out who.

Hey.

So, I did find something out.

Why didn't you tell Gibbs?

Because it's about Gibbs.

I think I know what he was talking about

when he said he was done with anniversaries.

Yeah, that was weird?

I didn't realize, last week it was his and Shannon's

wedding anniversary.

Yeah.

That's tough. I know.

For him to even mention it...

I know. Well,

then we really should try to get him to come out

for drinks with us. I agree.

What we need is a ringer.

Someone with sweet little doe eyes

that Gibbs can't say no to.

You want me to do what?

Come on, McGee. The guy never comes out

for drinks with us. And...

That is so sad.

Yeah, of course. No, I mean, I'll try.

It's just, getting Gibbs to commit to a social engagement's

like trying to find Waldo blindfolded.

How could you not know who Waldo is?

Who's Waldo?

Actually, it's Where's Waldo?

Okay. Where is Waldo?

Maybe I should just tell you how our victim died.

It was a severe asthma attack.

I extracted these mucus plugs from his airways.

It's a hallmark sign of an asthmatic asphyxiation.

Also, based on the tox screen that Kasie sent down,

I'm fairly confident the attack was triggered by mold spores

from his basement, so, Gibbs,

his death was a fluke.

And you should totally come out for drinks with us

on Sunday.

My, that was smooth.

Segues aren't my strong suit.

But I really think that you would like...

Hearing more about how this guy died.

Yeah, that makes sense. Gibbs,

the thing is, this man shouldn't have died.

With asthma this bad, I'm sure he was prescribed an inhaler

at some point; I'm just not sure why he wasn't carrying it.

Because it could help I.D. him if he was caught.

Guess anyone who burns off their fingerprints

doesn't want to be identified.

But... Kasie got a hit on his DNA anyway.

So, our bad guy's name is...

Zucado.

Maurice Zucado.

I can see why he didn't want to be identified.

Gibbs, he's not just a bad guy.
