NCIS

It's called Shroomsville because the guys think

these reeds look like little mushrooms.

Or they were on mushrooms.

Hey, you're not supposed to be lighting fires out here.

It's against base rules. Let's go, kids. Let's go home.

You too, miss. Let's go.

Last one out has to douse the fire.

Oh, yeah, baby.

Oh, come on.

Come on, come on.

I'm trying to concentrate.

That makes 2 of us then, doesn't it, Ziva?

- Is it work-related? - Of course it's work-related, Ziva.

- I give it a 4. - Are you kidding, 4?

Out of 5, I think that's good, isn't it?

Out of 5.

What do you think about this one?

- Come on, come on. - I will not get involved with this further.

Gibbs seems to always be around the corner.

- Give me a little something. Come on. - No. No. No.

What do you think? Rate it.

- Fine. A 2. - A 2?

- A 2? - What's a 2, DiNozzo?

I was just explaining the rules to Ziva, Boss.

And number 2 is what?

- You know, I was a little fuzzy on 2. - Grab your gear.

We're going to Quantico.

2.

I took 3 points off for excessive hair.

I don't have…

That's a 5.

If you shave.

Shave.

Marines run tactics through these woods every day, sir.

What time yesterday?

- 1900. - Ducky, where's Jimmy?

Having a root canal.

Allow me.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Oh, watch your step.

Oh, let me give you a hand.

No, no, no. It's lovely that chivalry is not dead, Doctor.

But in the Army, I swam 3 miles across the Red Sea

after scaling rough cliffs without safety lines.

I believe I can manage.

How refreshing, an independent woman.

They were under this bush here, until I moved one to here.

- The teenagers? - Said they never noticed the legs.

Tony, shoot. Ziva, bag and tag.

- McGee, samples. - Got it.

Well, I'm afraid a liver temp is out of the question.

Well, talk to me, Duck.

It's very strange.

The marbling on the skin indicates advanced decomposition.

But the complete lack of insect activity on the moist area of the open thigh

indicates a cessation of decay.

Any idea how long?

Well, the muscles have gone through all 3 stages of rigor mortis,

so that gives us at least 48 hours.

But, Jethro, the leg is in pristine condition,

apparently untouched by air, water, soil or insect.

- Frozen? - No ice crystals.

Basement?

Well, if that's the case, we are dealing with a dark soul,

one who kills, cuts and keeps.

That's trash.

I think I know what I'm doing by now.

Well, MREs and paint pellets, say training area to me.

No one has ever been killed during training?

You know, my Forensic Instructor back at FLETC

once planted a pregnancy test at a crime scene to test us.

That's nice, Probie. But, in my years as an investigator,

I've learned that trash indigenous to an area is not worth collecting.

What if because I did not bag and tag this trash,

I happened to miss this?

The finger of a rubber glove.

I didn't say don't look under indigenous stuff.

- I think we're almost done here. - No, I don't think so.

I want every paper, projectile,

stomped-on leaf within a 10’ radius of both legs.

I'll bet Tony made some unseemly comment about these legs, didn't he?

Why would he do that, Mr. Palmer?

I just mean knowing Tony…

They're fairly shapely legs, Doctor.

Yes, nobody had the bad taste to verbalize such a thought until now.

Now that you come to mention it,

they do look remarkably similar to Betty Grable's.

Betty…?

One of the all-time pin-up gals of the '40s.

- Yeah, great gams. - Gams?

Aren't you a little young to remember Betty Grable, Jethro?

My Dad had her painted on the nose of his P-51, Duck.

- A P-51? - Up to Abby.

- Quick as you can. - Yes, Doctor.

What do we know about our Jane Doe?

She was young. Look at the femur here.

It's one of the last bones in the body to develop fully.

In the female, growth is complete around age 25.

I'd say our victim was between 19 and 21.

- ID? - Without a toeprint database,

I'm afraid we'll just have to rely on good old DNA.

What about the splotch on her calf, Duck?

Blood, I'd say the assailant's.

It's on its way up to Abby's mass spectrometer.

- Couldn't be hers? - It could be.

But she was dead long before she was dissected.

Blood no longer pulsed through her veins,

when, what I would guess was a surgical saw,

severed her thighs from her torso.

Now, look, see how my glove sticks here?

Also headed up to the mass spectrometer.

Yes, but take a look at this.

- Skin's been removed. - Yes, a meticulously cut circle.

Strange keepsake.

Actually, I think it was the killer trying to remove his marks.

Like all sex killers after Bundy?

Yes, after Theodore Bundy

was identified and caught by his crooked lower teeth,

sadistic biters have been forced to excise their evidence.

You know, I think I might be able to get an impression of teeth

from the underlying damaged tissue.

You could get me a bite mark?

I could try.

I have some samples for Abby.

That's convenient, because I'm Abby's assistant.

I wanted to say “Hi”.

- I haven't seen her in a while. - She's really busy right now.

It'll only take a minute.

You haven't been an assistant for very long, have you?

- Longer than you. - We'll see about that.

That doesn't make any sense, Chip.

It's Charles.

Charles.

It's an evidence showcase showdown, Chip.

What do you prefer? Possible prints, sticky stuff, or name that blood?

Well, I aced serology.

I was a dilettante with fingerprint identification, so…

Name the sticky stuff for a hundred, Chip.

For a Caucasian female,

a factor of 2.90 is multiplied by the tibia length.

Okay, autopsy report says tibia is 38.34 centimeters.

- What are you doing? - We are calculating our Jane Doe's

- probable height and weight. - Why didn't you ask me?

Tony, these are complex equations we're dealing with.

Whatever. She was, what, 5'8".

So, she's like 125, 126 pounds. Hey.

Okay, 111.186 for adipose. Density of musculature…

That's 61.53.

172.72 centimeters for height.

Ducky estimates 57.08 kilograms in weight.

Converting to imperial, and we're done.

- She's 5-foot-8. - 125 and a half pounds?

This doesn't make any sense.

You're grumbling.

Well, I know. I can't read Ziva's writing.

It looks perfectly clear to me.

You've got to loosen up, Chip.

Evidence is fun. Fun?

You know fun. Fun, Chip.

- You're a tough case, Chip. - Yeah, I know.

Gibbs. All this evidence and a Caf-Pow!

- Is it my birthday? - Pretend it's mine.

Okay, here's what I have for you. The blood on the calf is different

from the victim's. I sent both off for processing. But here's your real gift.

I found a smudged print on the tip of the glove finger

and clarified it into a partial print. Happy birthday.

- Get a match. - It's running through AFIS now.

I must have ripped a glove at the scene, Boss.

Like I was saying, I must've ripped a glove at the crime scene

- some time before yesterday. - When was the last time

- you worked a crime scene at Quantico? - Napolitano case, Boss.

The computer only found 3 points from your fingerprint to the sample.

Most prosecutors want 11.

Well, technically, Abby, the minimum to go to court is 1.

Well, I'm just saying that, you know, people have been convicted on less.

Well, that's great, Chipper. Team player.

I'm gonna redo this by hand.

You set this up, didn't you?

I would never. Okay, maybe I would, but I didn't.

- It matches Tony. - Put a rush on those blood samples.

- I did, but it's a 16-hour turnaround. - Make it 12.

When's the last time you were at the dentist?

Hold still.

This is far faster and more accurate than your x-rays.

You're not known for your bedside manner, are you there, Duck?

You're just upset that I didn't have peppermint.

McGee.

Here's Tony.

The program uses laser scans of 3-D objects

to create 3-D images for comparison.

Computer-generated hollow volume overlay.

Measures inter-tooth spacing, dental arc, tooth thickness.

All right, enough of the geek speak.

Here's Ducky's muscle-tissue scan.

A little 3-D magic for clarity.

And I give you the killer's incisors. Next step…

And don't worry, Tony, the chances of even one of your teeth matching

are like 100,000 to 1.

Do it, Abby.
