Alive?

00:00:32,401 --> 00:00:33,851
No, sir.
7
00:00:48,566 --> 00:00:52,369
We're gonna need an M.E.
and the Arson Unit down here.
8
00:00:52,371 --> 00:00:54,338
Copy that. We'll notify M.E.
9
00:00:54,340 --> 00:00:55,739
Arson Unit's on the way.
10
00:01:06,751 --> 00:01:08,936

Warehouse is owned by
United Equinox Electronics.
16
00:01:46,731 --> 00:01:49,699
They make everything
from modems to toaster ovens.
17
00:01:49,701 --> 00:01:52,017
And according
to insurance records,
18
00:01:52,019 --> 00:01:55,071

Heard you guys
were called in.

Any idea what
caused the fire?
37
00:02:45,289 --> 00:02:47,406
For that, you're gonna have
to talk to Baltimore Police.
38
00:02:47,408 --> 00:02:49,241
Arson Unit guy's
around here somewhere.
39
00:02:50,377 --> 00:02:51,344

Wow.
51
00:03:15,536 --> 00:03:16,869
It's-it's been a little while.
52
00:03:16,871 --> 00:03:19,104
Yeah.
53
00:03:19,106 --> 00:03:20,573
You two know each other?
54
00:03:20,575 --> 00:03:22,992
Heard we're working
this together, sir,
55
00:03:22,994 --> 00:03:26,162
until we officially rule out
any connection to the Navy.
56
00:03:26,164 --> 00:03:27,446
Yeah, that's the plan.
57
00:03:27,448 --> 00:03:29,415
Well, boss, if this is
a homicide, then...
58
00:03:29,417 --> 00:03:30,833
I was Homicide for
two years
59
00:03:30,835 --> 00:03:33,002
before I made
Arson in February.
60
00:03:33,004 --> 00:03:34,837
February!
That's two months ago.
61
00:03:34,839 --> 00:03:36,255
Wow.
62
00:03:36,257 --> 00:03:37,640
Listen, I had no idea--
63
00:03:37,642 --> 00:03:39,675
Already started my
cause-and-origin investigation.
64
00:03:39,677 --> 00:03:41,394
Fire's back here.
65
00:03:41,396 --> 00:03:43,763
DiNozzo, you're with me.
66
00:03:43,765 --> 00:03:45,314
You two,
take the perimeter.
67
00:03:51,104 --> 00:03:52,488
Duck, what do we got?
68
00:03:52,490 --> 00:03:54,690
It looks as if
dental records
69
00:03:54,692 --> 00:03:56,492
are the only hope
for identification.
70
00:03:56,494 --> 00:03:58,744
- This the guy who started the fire?
- I doubt it.
71
00:03:58,746 --> 00:04:02,198
Arsonists rarely get caught
in their own conflagrations.
72
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:03,165
That's correct.
73
00:04:03,167 --> 00:04:05,367
This man was most
likely a victim.
74
00:04:05,369 --> 00:04:06,919
Wrong time, wrong place?
75
00:04:06,921 --> 00:04:08,204
Or deliberate
time and place.
76
00:04:08,206 --> 00:04:10,289
Given the body's
badly burned condition,
77
00:04:10,291 --> 00:04:13,158
I'd say it was the
ignition point for the fire.
78
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:14,593
Used the road flare
to start it.
79
00:04:14,595 --> 00:04:17,096
Johnny Storm, Human Torch.
80
00:04:17,098 --> 00:04:19,498
You ever see that movie,
the Fantastic Four?
81
00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:21,100
- Arson?
- Looking that way.
82
00:04:21,102 --> 00:04:24,220
Yeah, but
the fire was so intense,
83
00:04:24,222 --> 00:04:26,338
it actually calcified the bone.
84
00:04:28,358 --> 00:04:30,025
This is very odd.
85
00:04:30,027 --> 00:04:32,511
Gasoline and butane
burn off quickly,
86
00:04:32,513 --> 00:04:34,447
and at the same relative
temperature as paper or wood.
87
00:04:34,449 --> 00:04:38,016
Whatever our arsonist used even
scarred the concrete floor.
88
00:04:38,018 --> 00:04:39,235
The guy really wanted
to cover his trail,
89
00:04:39,237 --> 00:04:40,536
destroy the evidence.
90
00:04:40,538 --> 00:04:43,038
Fire doesn't destroy
evidence, it creates it.
91
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,825
Well, let's go find some.
92
00:04:45,827 --> 00:04:47,326
Actually, I had the chance
93
00:04:47,328 --> 00:04:48,744
to do some preliminary
processing.
94
00:04:48,746 --> 00:04:51,864
Every one of these drawers
is filled with burned files
95
00:04:51,866 --> 00:04:53,999
and paper ash,
except this one.
96
00:04:56,503 --> 00:04:58,203
Oh...
97
00:04:59,089 --> 00:05:01,056
Maybe the drawer was
empty before the fire.
98
00:05:01,058 --> 00:05:03,576
Lock was broken off
prior to the fire.
99
00:05:04,311 --> 00:05:05,644
Right there.
100
00:05:06,930 --> 00:05:08,430
Somebody wanted
whatever was in this drawer.
101
00:05:08,432 --> 00:05:11,066
They went to a lot of
trouble to get it.
102
00:05:11,068 --> 00:05:12,485
Boss...
103
00:05:12,487 --> 00:05:15,321
I ran the card reader on the
warehouse's security gate.
104
00:05:15,323 --> 00:05:18,440
The last person swiped in
at 4:03 a.m.
105
00:05:18,442 --> 00:05:20,442
That's 40 minutes before
the fire was reported.
106
00:05:20,444 --> 00:05:22,361
Carter Plimpton, 42 years old.
107
00:05:22,363 --> 00:05:24,330
Lives in Fairmount.
108
00:05:24,332 --> 00:05:26,398
Five-ten, 170 pounds.
109
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,167
Duck?
110
00:05:28,169 --> 00:05:29,535
Could be.
111
00:05:29,537 --> 00:05:32,872
Plimpton was a civilian
employee of United Equinox.
112
00:05:32,874 --> 00:05:34,840
Well, if the
victim's a civilian,
113
00:05:34,842 --> 00:05:37,676
then this isn't an
NCIS case, right?
114
00:05:37,678 --> 00:05:39,428
Wrong.
115
00:05:39,430 --> 00:05:41,013
Boss?
116
00:05:41,015 --> 00:05:41,881
It's Navy.
117
00:05:41,883 --> 00:05:45,351
King... you're with us now.
118
00:05:45,353 --> 00:05:46,886
Yes... sir...
119
00:05:54,721 --> 00:05:57,589
Dental records confirm
our victim is Carter Plimpton.
120
00:05:57,591 --> 00:05:58,724
Product systems analyst
121
00:05:58,726 --> 00:06:00,075
for United Equinox.
122
00:06:00,077 --> 00:06:01,426
Spent the last four years
123
00:06:01,428 --> 00:06:03,345
in their electrical
component department.
124
00:06:03,347 --> 00:06:04,847
This is exciting stuff.
125
00:06:04,849 --> 00:06:07,149
Tony, don't jump to
any conclusions, okay?
126
00:06:07,151 --> 00:06:08,267
Just 'cause the guy has
a nerdy job,
127
00:06:08,269 --> 00:06:10,335
it does not mean that he's...
128
00:06:11,237 --> 00:06:13,155
Okay, he was single.
129
00:06:13,990 --> 00:06:15,157
And he ran a Skyrim
message board.
130
00:06:15,159 --> 00:06:16,491
How many cats
did he have?
131
00:06:16,493 --> 00:06:17,726
None.
132
00:06:17,728 --> 00:06:18,911
But, apparently,
he did have a thing
133
00:06:18,913 --> 00:06:21,413
for Japanese anime pillows.
134
00:06:21,415 --> 00:06:23,198
Oh. That's unfortunate.
135
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,283
Although, she's kinda hot.
136
00:06:24,285 --> 00:06:26,068
It's a cartoon, Tony.
137
00:06:26,070 --> 00:06:28,003
Hey, don't knock
the cartoon ladies.
138
00:06:28,005 --> 00:06:29,037
You got your Betty Rubble,
139
00:06:29,039 --> 00:06:30,405
your Ariel from
The Little Mermaid,
140
00:06:30,407 --> 00:06:31,907
and Jessica Rabbit...
141
00:06:31,909 --> 00:06:33,759
Those ladies got me
through puberty.
142
00:06:33,761 --> 00:06:35,427
You've been through
puberty?
143
00:06:35,429 --> 00:06:36,411
Had not noticed.
144
00:06:37,464 --> 00:06:39,715
Well, you noticed Jason King.
145
00:06:39,717 --> 00:06:41,183
What is it with chicks
and firemen?
146
00:06:41,185 --> 00:06:42,184
And don't say hoses.
147
00:06:42,186 --> 00:06:43,802
I wasn't going to.
148
00:06:43,804 --> 00:06:44,920
Um, he's not a fireman.
149
00:06:44,922 --> 00:06:46,254
But, yes, your cop friend
is very, um...
150
00:06:46,256 --> 00:06:48,056
hot.
151
00:06:48,058 --> 00:06:49,758
He's not my friend.
152
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,360
I met him once.
153
00:06:51,362 --> 00:06:52,861
20 years ago.
154
00:06:52,863 --> 00:06:55,731
I'm actually kind of surprised
he recognized me.
155
00:06:57,066 --> 00:06:59,434
Well, clearly, your first
meeting was important to him.
156
00:06:59,436 --> 00:07:03,221
I, uh, assume
it involved a girl?
157
00:07:04,874 --> 00:07:06,792
He was nine years old.
158
00:07:08,161 --> 00:07:09,578
Never assume, McGee.
159
00:07:09,580 --> 00:07:11,046
Rule Number Eight.
Got it, boss.
160
00:07:19,555 --> 00:07:23,342
Speaking of the number eight,
that's the... Phantom Eight.
161
00:07:23,344 --> 00:07:25,310
Part of the
Navy's Watcher Fleet.
162
00:07:25,312 --> 00:07:26,762
The bad part.
163
00:07:26,764 --> 00:07:28,313
Well, Watcher does
some good, too.
164
00:07:28,315 --> 00:07:29,932
They help ensure the
Naval Fleet's security.
165
00:07:29,934 --> 00:07:31,817
I think we can all
agree the Phantom Eight
166
00:07:31,819 --> 00:07:33,235
had a couple of
bad apples.
167
00:07:33,237 --> 00:07:36,638
Two of these men were murdered
in the last nine months.
168
00:07:39,809 --> 00:07:41,643
Three.
169
00:07:41,645 --> 00:07:43,495
Three.
170
00:07:43,497 --> 00:07:45,263
Wow, look at that.
171
00:07:47,033 --> 00:07:50,252
Our extra-crispy victim was a
member of the Phantom Eight.
172
00:07:50,254 --> 00:07:52,153
If he was Black Ops,
that explains why
173
00:07:52,155 --> 00:07:53,839
there's no paper trail
on his past.
174
00:07:53,841 --> 00:07:55,924
Guess the guy's not a
cubicle nerd, after all.
175
00:07:55,926 --> 00:07:57,592
Which means there
could've been a connection
176
00:07:57,594 --> 00:07:59,094
between Watcher Fleet
and the fire.
177
00:07:59,096 --> 00:08:00,712
Ziva, find 'em.
Take McGee with you.
178
00:08:00,714 --> 00:08:03,098
Start with Plimpton's
supervisor.
179
00:08:03,100 --> 00:08:04,800
DiNozzo, dig deeper
on our victim.
180
00:08:04,802 --> 00:08:06,518
All the way to China, boss.
181
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,674
I admire your
attention to detail, Doctor.
182
00:08:12,676 --> 00:08:16,478
People your age sometimes
disregard scientific investigation
183
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:17,612
in favor of instinct.
184
00:08:17,614 --> 00:08:20,615
People my age? Here.
185
00:08:23,185 --> 00:08:24,653
Sorry, sir.
186
00:08:24,655 --> 00:08:25,871
It's just that applying
scientific methods
187
00:08:25,873 --> 00:08:27,956
to fire investigation
is relatively new.
188
00:08:31,661 --> 00:08:33,328
These burn patterns show all
the way through the dermis.
189
00:08:33,330 --> 00:08:34,997
Yes, they do.
190
00:08:34,999 --> 00:08:37,198
It's so unusual.
191
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:38,417
What is, Duck?
192
00:08:38,419 --> 00:08:40,836
Well, Mr. Plimpton's skin
193
00:08:40,838 --> 00:08:42,554
was double burned.
194
00:08:42,556 --> 00:08:44,372
Once wasn't enough.
195
00:08:44,374 --> 00:08:46,141
Well, looking at
one of several deep,
196
00:08:46,143 --> 00:08:48,010
uniformly round tissue burns,
197
00:08:48,012 --> 00:08:50,178
about one inch in diameter,
198
00:08:50,180 --> 00:08:52,180
which just happens to match
this road flare.
199
00:08:52,182 --> 00:08:53,765
The pattern
and carbon sheen
200
00:08:53,767 --> 00:08:57,052
indicate that these
burn spots were inflicted
201
00:08:57,054 --> 00:08:59,354
both ante- and perimortem.
202
00:08:59,356 --> 00:09:00,322
Torture with a flare.
203
00:09:00,324 --> 00:09:02,711
Yes, however, while
the right arm
204
00:09:02,713 --> 00:09:04,629
is covered in
these burns,
205
00:09:04,631 --> 00:09:07,933
there are only three
on the left arm.
206
00:09:07,935 --> 00:09:10,051
Well, the killer
stopped torturing him.
207
00:09:10,053 --> 00:09:11,085
He got what he wanted.
208
00:09:11,087 --> 00:09:13,088
Which was what?
209
00:09:16,976 --> 00:09:17,976
That's better.
210
00:09:17,978 --> 00:09:19,894
Jack Murdoch?
211
00:09:19,896 --> 00:09:22,364
You must be NCIS.
212
00:09:22,366 --> 00:09:24,566
Yeah, sorry about
the, uh, the getup,
213
00:09:24,568 --> 00:09:27,068
but most things in here
don't react well to static.
214
00:09:27,070 --> 00:09:30,455
Ooh, are they working
on the new I-triple-E protocol?
215
00:09:30,457 --> 00:09:34,042
I bought your Nexus series
router two years ago.
216
00:09:34,044 --> 00:09:36,328
Actually sent in
a few design suggestions.
217
00:09:36,330 --> 00:09:40,498
Are you, uh, here for a
refund or nerd extra credit?
218
00:09:40,500 --> 00:09:42,784
Excuse me?
219
00:09:42,786 --> 00:09:45,136
Sorry, uh, I just,
I get tired of
220
00:09:45,138 --> 00:09:46,454
people assuming
we're all dweebs
221
00:09:46,456 --> 00:09:49,474
with nothing better
to do than talk shop.
222
00:09:49,476 --> 00:09:52,177
I take it you're here
about Carter.
223
00:09:52,179 --> 00:09:54,679
Yes. Is this what Mr.
Plimpton did for you?
224
00:09:54,681 --> 00:09:56,514
No. In here, we create.
225
00:09:56,516 --> 00:09:59,133
Carter liked
to destroy things.
226
00:09:59,135 --> 00:10:02,020
You know, uh, product testing
and finding failure points.
227
00:10:02,022 --> 00:10:04,739
What was he doing in your
records warehouse this morning?
228
00:10:04,741 --> 00:10:06,157
His job.
229
00:10:06,159 --> 00:10:09,527
Storing non-critical reports
and inventory information.
230
00:10:09,529 --> 00:10:12,197
Non-critical?
231
00:10:12,199 --> 00:10:13,782
There was nothing
in that warehouse
232
00:10:13,784 --> 00:10:15,917
with any national
security implications.
233
00:10:15,919 --> 00:10:17,819
I'll send you
the inventory.
234
00:10:17,821 --> 00:10:20,988
"Classified" does not
mean "top secret."
235
00:10:20,990 --> 00:10:24,793
Were you aware of Plimpton's
history with Watcher Fleet?
236
00:10:24,795 --> 00:10:26,378
Watcher Fleet? No.
237
00:10:26,380 --> 00:10:30,348
But he was always going on
about Skyrim
238
00:10:30,350 --> 00:10:31,999
and Old Republic?
239
00:10:32,001 --> 00:10:36,337
You are talking about dorky
role-playing games, right?
240
00:10:36,339 --> 00:10:37,772
You must be into those, huh?
241
00:10:37,774 --> 00:10:41,126
Until I took an arrow
in the knee.
242
00:10:49,402 --> 00:10:51,453
Research, Abbs?
243
00:10:51,455 --> 00:10:53,455
Um, nope. It's lunch.
244
00:10:53,457 --> 00:10:55,206
Only I ran out
of chocolate.
245
00:10:55,208 --> 00:10:57,208
You want some?
No.
246
00:10:57,210 --> 00:10:59,360
Pyromaniacs?
247
00:10:59,362 --> 00:11:00,962
Scientists, Gibbs.
248
00:11:00,964 --> 00:11:03,364
Okay, yeah, they're kind
of pyromaniacs, too.
249
00:11:03,366 --> 00:11:05,917
But these are chemical
reactions, which can be
250
00:11:05,919 --> 00:11:07,302
measured and
controlled.
251
00:11:07,304 --> 00:11:08,870
Hmm, doesn't look
controlled to me.
252
00:11:08,872 --> 00:11:12,006
That's because the fire in the
video is something different.
253
00:11:12,008 --> 00:11:14,008
It's a thermite reaction.
254
00:11:14,010 --> 00:11:15,844
I found evidence of
it on our victim.
255
00:11:15,846 --> 00:11:19,764
Thermite is a simple compound
of iron oxide
256
00:11:19,766 --> 00:11:20,982
and aluminum powder.
257
00:11:20,984 --> 00:11:23,268
When it's mixed together
properly and ignited,
258
00:11:23,270 --> 00:11:25,820
it can burn ten times
hotter than wood.
259
00:11:25,822 --> 00:11:27,739
And once it gets started,
you can't put it out.
260
00:11:27,741 --> 00:11:29,691
It burns through metal.
261
00:11:29,693 --> 00:11:31,359
Why didn't it completely
destroy the body?
262
00:11:31,361 --> 00:11:34,412
Our killer must have added
something to his mixture
263
00:11:34,414 --> 00:11:36,164
to slow the
chemical reaction,
264
00:11:36,166 --> 00:11:38,249
which is something
that an arsonist
265
00:11:38,251 --> 00:11:40,702
or pyromaniac
would never do.
266
00:11:40,704 --> 00:11:44,405
Unlike our guys in the video,
our killer is
267
00:11:44,407 --> 00:11:46,958
focusing the power of thermite.
268
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,376
Controlling it.
269
00:11:48,378 --> 00:11:49,294
Yeah.
270
00:11:49,296 --> 00:11:52,380
But I have
no idea why.
271
00:11:52,382 --> 00:11:54,582
All right. Thanks.
272
00:11:58,354 --> 00:12:00,588
Jason. Hey.
273
00:12:00,590 --> 00:12:02,256
Gonna do paperwork
at the station house.
274
00:12:02,258 --> 00:12:03,424
Be back in the morning.
275
00:12:03,426 --> 00:12:04,526
Back to
Baltimore, huh?
276
00:12:04,528 --> 00:12:05,593
I miss that city.
277
00:12:05,595 --> 00:12:08,596
Sometimes.
278
00:12:08,598 --> 00:12:10,615
So, arson
investigator.
279
00:12:10,617 --> 00:12:13,151
That's a big job,
especially for someone your age.
280
00:12:13,153 --> 00:12:15,120
Must have made some
major sacrifices.
281
00:12:15,122 --> 00:12:16,237
What do you mean?
282
00:12:16,239 --> 00:12:17,572
Well, I looked
you up.
283
00:12:17,574 --> 00:12:19,324
You were offered a
full ride at Duke.
284
00:12:19,326 --> 00:12:20,708
Point guard-- I
heard your jumper
285
00:12:20,710 --> 00:12:22,243
was almost as
good as mine.
286
00:12:22,245 --> 00:12:23,912
Better.
287
00:12:23,914 --> 00:12:25,964
But you gave it up
to become a cop.
288
00:12:25,966 --> 00:12:27,565
That's right.
289
00:12:32,888 --> 00:12:34,288
About how we last left things.
290
00:12:34,290 --> 00:12:35,590
I think we should talk.
291
00:12:35,592 --> 00:12:38,226
Unless it's about the case,
I got nothing to say.
292
00:12:38,228 --> 00:12:41,128
This means you haven't
forgiven me about your sister?
293
00:12:41,130 --> 00:12:43,481
That's exactly what it means.
294
00:12:49,522 --> 00:12:52,574
Boss, I've been digging through
the warehouse inventory
295
00:12:52,576 --> 00:12:53,975
from United Equinox.
296
00:12:53,977 --> 00:12:56,161
Didn't appear that anything
important was stored there.
297
00:12:56,163 --> 00:12:58,163
But?
298
00:13:08,374 --> 00:13:10,959
I hacked into the Navy
Intelligence database.
299
00:13:10,961 --> 00:13:14,996
I was only able to get past the
first level of security, but...
300
00:13:14,998 --> 00:13:15,964
You found something.
301
00:13:15,966 --> 00:13:17,331
Watcher Fleet had worked on
302
00:13:17,333 --> 00:13:19,267
a top-secret project
called Aquamarine.
303
00:13:19,269 --> 00:13:21,886
The only reason it stuck out
to me was 'cause there was
304
00:13:21,888 --> 00:13:23,555
a file box
in the warehouse inventory
305
00:13:23,557 --> 00:13:24,839
listed under the same name.
306
00:13:24,841 --> 00:13:27,842
United Equinox was developing
something for the Navy.
307
00:13:27,844 --> 00:13:29,944
What is Aquamarine?
308
00:13:29,946 --> 00:13:32,230
Neither database said.
309
00:13:32,232 --> 00:13:34,199
But the project was initiated
four years ago
310
00:13:34,201 --> 00:13:36,201
during the time Plimpton was
with Watcher Fleet.
311
00:13:36,203 --> 00:13:38,203
McGee, that's why
he was tortured.
312
00:13:38,205 --> 00:13:40,205
Someone was looking
for Navy secrets.
313
00:13:40,207 --> 00:13:42,407
Well, they found them.
314
00:13:49,495 --> 00:13:50,780
Carter Plimpton.
315
00:13:50,782 --> 00:13:51,998
Take two.
316
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,033
Plimpton left
the Navy Watcher Fleet in '08
317
00:13:54,035 --> 00:13:56,318
to take a job at United
Equinox Electronics.
318
00:13:56,926 --> 00:13:58,426
So did he leave there
to work on
319
00:13:58,502 --> 00:14:00,353
this Aquamarine project
for Equinox
320
00:14:00,355 --> 00:14:02,389
And what is
Aquamarine?
321
00:14:02,391 --> 00:14:03,790
I'm still waiting for
Navy Intelligence
322
00:14:03,792 --> 00:14:04,991
or United Equinox to confirm
323
00:14:04,993 --> 00:14:06,610
the project
even exists.
324
00:14:06,612 --> 00:14:09,062
Uh-huh.
- Don't hold your breath.
325
00:14:09,064 --> 00:14:11,314
So while we're
waiting to find out
326
00:14:11,316 --> 00:14:13,033
what our killer took
from the warehouse...
327
00:14:13,035 --> 00:14:14,534
Focus on what he left behind.
328
00:14:14,536 --> 00:14:15,819
Thermite residue.
329
00:14:15,821 --> 00:14:17,404
Not many arsonists
use thermite.
330
00:14:17,406 --> 00:14:18,622
Which means if this guy
331
00:14:18,624 --> 00:14:19,823
has a criminal
record...
332
00:14:19,825 --> 00:14:21,241
We can cross-reference
his M.O.
333
00:14:21,243 --> 00:14:22,709
Boss, I got
a hit here.
334
00:14:22,711 --> 00:14:24,544
Billy Wayne.
335
00:14:24,546 --> 00:14:26,796
Six arrests for
arson-related crimes,
336
00:14:26,798 --> 00:14:28,531
two involving
thermite accelerants,
337
00:14:28,533 --> 00:14:30,667
including a fire he set
at home last year,
338
00:14:30,669 --> 00:14:32,219
killing his wife and two kids.
339
00:14:32,221 --> 00:14:33,353
Serving life in prison.
340
00:14:33,355 --> 00:14:35,338
Oh. So he can't be
our warehouse guy.
341
00:14:35,340 --> 00:14:37,257
No. But he'll give
us a glimpse into
342
00:14:37,259 --> 00:14:39,175
the mind of the
person who is.
343
00:14:40,478 --> 00:14:42,596
I was about to say that.
Ziva.
344
00:14:42,598 --> 00:14:43,813
Get him in here.
345
00:14:43,815 --> 00:14:45,148
Mm-hmm.
346
00:14:48,486 --> 00:14:51,071
Thermite.
347
00:14:51,073 --> 00:14:53,940
Your calling card.
348
00:14:53,942 --> 00:14:55,775
These are
good pictures.
349
00:14:55,777 --> 00:14:57,393
What kind of
camera is this?
350
00:14:57,395 --> 00:14:58,895
Billy.
351
00:14:58,897 --> 00:15:00,814
Focus.
352
00:15:01,899 --> 00:15:03,817
Fire.
353
00:15:05,620 --> 00:15:08,738
This warehouse-- it's
nothing but paper.
354
00:15:08,740 --> 00:15:10,573
Boxed files, right?
355
00:15:10,575 --> 00:15:12,408
And that's meaningful because?
356
00:15:13,928 --> 00:15:16,463
Ignition point of paper is low.
357
00:15:16,465 --> 00:15:18,965
Whoever lit this, they could
have easily used gasoline
358
00:15:18,967 --> 00:15:20,900
or kerosene to do
the same damage.
359
00:15:20,902 --> 00:15:23,219
Why thermite?
360
00:15:23,221 --> 00:15:25,939
Two reasons.
361
00:15:25,941 --> 00:15:28,224
To send a
message or...
362
00:15:28,226 --> 00:15:29,425
Or?
363
00:15:31,295 --> 00:15:33,363
For fun.
364
00:15:33,365 --> 00:15:35,598
Thermite's
tricky stuff.
365
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,952
Whoever lit this,
they might have wanted
366
00:15:38,954 --> 00:15:40,570
to see how it plays--
367
00:15:40,572 --> 00:15:43,272
speed, intensity,
368
00:15:43,274 --> 00:15:45,792
the ventilation and
oxygen it requires.
369
00:15:45,794 --> 00:15:48,111
A good torch man
370
00:15:48,113 --> 00:15:52,048
always runs tests,
practices before the event.
371
00:15:52,050 --> 00:15:54,784
Event?
372
00:15:54,786 --> 00:15:59,172
This ain't lighter fluid
and matchsticks, missy.
373
00:15:59,174 --> 00:16:00,874
There's a reason
you use thermite.
374
00:16:00,876 --> 00:16:03,476
Name one.
375
00:16:03,478 --> 00:16:07,580
I did a hotel once
outside of Manassas.
376
00:16:07,582 --> 00:16:10,266
Used a slow-burn
thermite mix
377
00:16:10,268 --> 00:16:13,636
in a room two floors
above the boiler room.
378
00:16:13,638 --> 00:16:15,438
Slow burning?
379
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:19,693
The reduced combustion rate
gave me enough time to get away
380
00:16:19,695 --> 00:16:23,079
before it burned through the
floor and ignited the boiler.
381
00:16:23,081 --> 00:16:25,281
It was beautiful.
382
00:16:25,283 --> 00:16:28,251
Four people died in that fire.
383
00:16:28,253 --> 00:16:31,204
Yeah, there's that.
384
00:16:31,206 --> 00:16:34,007
Man thinks he
invented fire.
385
00:16:34,009 --> 00:16:36,976
Truth is, it's nature's
most perfect gift to us.
386
00:16:36,978 --> 00:16:41,297
Razes great cities just to be
replaced by even greater ones.
387
00:16:41,299 --> 00:16:43,183
Hey, Nero,
388
00:16:43,185 --> 00:16:47,721
ever share your slow-burn
thermite recipe with anyone?
389
00:16:47,723 --> 00:16:50,273
I may have mentioned
it to Janice.
390
00:16:50,275 --> 00:16:52,442
She's writing a book.
391
00:16:52,444 --> 00:16:54,561
About me and my work.
392
00:16:54,563 --> 00:16:56,363
She visited
me last week.
393
00:16:56,365 --> 00:16:58,014
What did you tell Janice?
394
00:16:58,016 --> 00:17:01,284
A magician never gives
away his tricks, honey.
395
00:17:01,286 --> 00:17:04,287
You'll have to buy the book.
396
00:17:04,289 --> 00:17:07,023
How do you contact Janice?
397
00:17:07,025 --> 00:17:09,192
I just told you, she visited me.
398
00:17:12,463 --> 00:17:14,297
Wait. You're not leaving,
are you?
399
00:17:14,299 --> 00:17:17,417
Wait. W-What's gonna happen now?
400
00:17:17,419 --> 00:17:19,803
This was thermite test
number four.
401
00:17:19,805 --> 00:17:21,037
I used linseed oil
402
00:17:21,039 --> 00:17:22,639
as a possible
reaction inhibitor.
403
00:17:22,641 --> 00:17:23,590
Smart.
404
00:17:23,592 --> 00:17:26,226
So...
405
00:17:26,228 --> 00:17:28,311
what got you so into fire?
406
00:17:28,313 --> 00:17:31,731
Was it too many late nights
watching Fahrenheit 451?
407
00:17:31,733 --> 00:17:33,049
The Towering Inferno.
408
00:17:33,051 --> 00:17:35,051
Wait, Backdraft.
409
00:17:35,053 --> 00:17:38,688
I was in a fire
when I was a kid.
410
00:17:38,690 --> 00:17:39,722
Arson.
411
00:17:39,724 --> 00:17:41,024
They never caught the guy.
412
00:17:41,026 --> 00:17:43,076
Oh.
413
00:17:45,362 --> 00:17:46,896
Still burning
way too hot.
414
00:17:46,898 --> 00:17:48,581
Yeah.
415
00:17:48,583 --> 00:17:50,250
Burned right through.
416
00:17:50,252 --> 00:17:53,002
I guess linseed oil wasn't
our killer's secret ingredient.
417
00:17:53,004 --> 00:17:55,238
Well, on the
bright side,
418
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,007
you can now help
me keep testing.
419
00:17:58,009 --> 00:18:00,427
I am a sucker
for empirical data.
420
00:18:02,746 --> 00:18:04,964
McGee.
421
00:18:04,966 --> 00:18:07,583
Still nothing from
Naval Intelligence, boss.
422
00:18:07,585 --> 00:18:08,968
And I can't
dig any deeper
423
00:18:08,970 --> 00:18:11,271
into Watcher Fleet without
setting off any firewall alarms.
424
00:18:11,273 --> 00:18:13,422
United Equinox.
425
00:18:13,424 --> 00:18:15,091
Other than what was taken
from the warehouse,
426
00:18:15,093 --> 00:18:17,310
they have no records of
any project called Aquamarine.
427
00:18:17,312 --> 00:18:18,978
Billy Wayne's biographer.
428
00:18:18,980 --> 00:18:22,398
Our mystery author used a fake
I.D. to visit Wayne in prison.
429
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,784
I did pull the prison
security footage.
430
00:18:24,786 --> 00:18:26,569
Running facial
recognition now.
431
00:18:26,571 --> 00:18:27,704
So far,
nothing's popped.
432
00:18:27,706 --> 00:18:29,739
Well, keep looking.
Yup.
433
00:18:33,294 --> 00:18:36,329
Boss, an alert
just came through from
434
00:18:36,331 --> 00:18:37,780
the Baltimore
Fire Department.
435
00:18:37,782 --> 00:18:39,966
They're responding to a
suspicious blaze on a cargo ship
436
00:18:39,968 --> 00:18:42,335
less than a mile
from the warehouse fire.
437
00:18:42,337 --> 00:18:43,470
Call DiNozzo, call Jason.
438
00:18:43,472 --> 00:18:45,388
On it.
439
00:18:57,634 --> 00:18:59,602
What do we got this time?
440
00:18:59,604 --> 00:19:02,105
Battalions 51
and 62 responded.
441
00:19:02,107 --> 00:19:04,824
Turned out to be some tarps
on top of a cargo hold.
442
00:19:04,826 --> 00:19:05,992
No injuries.
443
00:19:14,484 --> 00:19:16,085
10-4.
444
00:19:16,087 --> 00:19:19,455
Hit that hot spot
right there.
445
00:19:21,325 --> 00:19:22,709
Hey.
446
00:19:22,711 --> 00:19:23,676
Hey.
447
00:19:23,678 --> 00:19:24,711
Cargo?
448
00:19:24,713 --> 00:19:25,828
Empty.
449
00:19:25,830 --> 00:19:27,881
Off-loaded yesterday;
load of fruit from Chile.
450
00:19:27,883 --> 00:19:29,516
- Got a cause?
- That's for him to decide.
451
00:19:29,518 --> 00:19:32,135
But based on the fact
that the solid steel deck
452
00:19:32,137 --> 00:19:33,770
showed signs
of heat fatigue...
453
00:19:33,772 --> 00:19:35,471
- Used an accelerant?
- Powerful one.
454
00:19:35,473 --> 00:19:37,340
Thermite?
455
00:19:37,342 --> 00:19:38,608
Why the hell was
456
00:19:38,610 --> 00:19:41,978
our guy burning tarps
on an empty cargo vessel?
457
00:19:41,980 --> 00:19:45,648
Finding out, boss.
458
00:19:45,650 --> 00:19:48,234
Been on a few more
ships than you.
459
00:19:48,236 --> 00:19:50,370
Been on a few more
arson cases.
460
00:19:51,856 --> 00:19:53,456
This way.
461
00:20:01,332 --> 00:20:03,800
I can smell
ashes, too.
462
00:20:03,802 --> 00:20:05,552
It's not ashes
I'm smelling.
463
00:20:12,209 --> 00:20:14,210
I was agent afloat
for a while;
464
00:20:14,212 --> 00:20:15,311
there's a lot
of fishy smells.
465
00:20:15,313 --> 00:20:18,166
- Is this Lassie thing really necess...
- Shh!
466
00:20:18,266 --> 00:20:19,849
Sorry.
467
00:20:25,356 --> 00:20:27,507
Ship's wiring
runs through here.
468
00:20:46,260 --> 00:20:47,377
Move!
469
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:57,637
I'll get the fire crew.
470
00:20:57,639 --> 00:20:59,055
No. Door's
an air lock.
471
00:20:59,057 --> 00:21:01,441
Once the oxygen burns
out, so does the fire.
472
00:21:09,817 --> 00:21:13,403
So, Arson Welles,
what the hell was that?
473
00:21:13,405 --> 00:21:14,654
That was a trap.
474
00:21:14,656 --> 00:21:17,573
And we almost got caught.
475
00:21:17,575 --> 00:21:19,742
Guess we're even.
476
00:21:32,444 --> 00:21:33,611
What do we got, Abbs?
477
00:21:33,798 --> 00:21:35,648
The source of the flash-fire
on the cargo ship.
478
00:21:35,650 --> 00:21:36,983
Bomb?
479
00:21:36,985 --> 00:21:38,818
Actually, there
was no bomb.
480
00:21:38,820 --> 00:21:40,853
It's much more complicated
than that, Agent Gibbs.
481
00:21:40,855 --> 00:21:43,106
But don't worry--
we can explain it.
482
00:21:43,108 --> 00:21:44,991
Then do.
Okay.
483
00:21:44,993 --> 00:21:47,643
Instead of a bomb,
someone set a small
484
00:21:47,645 --> 00:21:50,613
and well-placed thermite
charge in this junction box.
485
00:21:50,702 --> 00:21:52,869
My guess is that's why
the tarp fire was set.
486
00:21:52,871 --> 00:21:54,671
A distraction.
Everybody's running
487
00:21:54,673 --> 00:21:56,006
around the ship on and off.
488
00:21:56,008 --> 00:21:57,540
Nobody's checking
the crew carefully.
489
00:21:57,542 --> 00:21:59,292
Our arsonist
must have used the same
490
00:21:59,294 --> 00:22:01,411
slow-burning thermite
that was in the warehouse,
491
00:22:01,413 --> 00:22:03,046
because it
managed to melt
492
00:22:03,048 --> 00:22:05,048
through the wiring's
insulation,
493
00:22:05,050 --> 00:22:06,216
but to not completely
destroy it.
494
00:22:06,218 --> 00:22:07,517
Which left the wires
to short out.
495
00:22:07,519 --> 00:22:09,602
- An electrical fire.
- Exactly.
496
00:22:09,604 --> 00:22:12,555
But an electrical fire
doesn't cause the same kind
497
00:22:12,557 --> 00:22:15,191
of immediate
and intense fireball.
498
00:22:15,193 --> 00:22:16,443
So why'd this one?
499
00:22:16,445 --> 00:22:18,395
I'm so very glad you asked.
500
00:22:18,397 --> 00:22:21,114
Exposure to the intense
heat of the thermite
501
00:22:21,116 --> 00:22:23,933
caused the insulation
in the wires to carbonize.
502
00:22:23,935 --> 00:22:25,068
And that shouldn't
have happened.
503
00:22:25,070 --> 00:22:26,152
The wiring is flawed.
504
00:22:26,154 --> 00:22:27,737
Rather than working
as an insulator,
505
00:22:27,739 --> 00:22:29,072
the coating
on the wires
506
00:22:29,074 --> 00:22:30,440
actually became
a conductor,
507
00:22:30,442 --> 00:22:31,941
which rapidly
spread the fire.
508
00:22:31,943 --> 00:22:33,426
Very rapidly.
509
00:22:33,428 --> 00:22:36,463
If Jason hadn't suffocated
the fire by closing the door,
510
00:22:36,465 --> 00:22:38,448
the wiring throughout
the entire ship
511
00:22:38,450 --> 00:22:40,050
could have
flash-fireballed.
512
00:22:40,052 --> 00:22:42,302
Our arsonist knew the
ship's wiring weakness.
513
00:22:42,304 --> 00:22:44,087
How?
514
00:22:44,089 --> 00:22:46,473
Guess who manufactured
the wiring.
515
00:22:46,475 --> 00:22:49,125
United Equinox Electronics.
516
00:22:49,127 --> 00:22:51,627
That's what was in
the missing file.
517
00:22:51,629 --> 00:22:53,813
Well, if it was, it still
doesn't explain the connection
518
00:22:53,815 --> 00:22:57,067
to the Watcher Fleet.
519
00:23:02,281 --> 00:23:04,782
United Equinox
internal memos.
520
00:23:04,784 --> 00:23:07,952
Found them encrypted
on Plimpton's laptop.
521
00:23:07,954 --> 00:23:11,355
You were supplying faulty
wiring to shipping vessels.
522
00:23:11,357 --> 00:23:14,024
Not true.
523
00:23:14,026 --> 00:23:15,543
Then why did Plimpton request
524
00:23:15,545 --> 00:23:17,795
a recall inquiry
nine months ago?
525
00:23:17,797 --> 00:23:20,548
He was doing his job,
looking for flaws.
526
00:23:20,550 --> 00:23:24,201
There are flaws in everything
if the conditions are perfect.
527
00:23:24,203 --> 00:23:26,387
Perfect here.
528
00:23:27,973 --> 00:23:30,040
Bad wiring.
529
00:23:33,395 --> 00:23:37,214
Look, I read Plimpton's memos.
530
00:23:37,216 --> 00:23:40,268
Only under extremely
rare circumstances
531
00:23:40,270 --> 00:23:42,103
could the wiring
be corrupted.
532
00:23:42,105 --> 00:23:43,888
A scenario so remote,
533
00:23:43,890 --> 00:23:47,325
its statistical probability
was almost zero.
534
00:23:47,327 --> 00:23:48,576
I don't know.
535
00:23:48,578 --> 00:23:51,412
Sounds like a bunch
of geek speak to me.
536
00:23:53,365 --> 00:23:55,833
There weren't enough
proven cases of flashover
537
00:23:55,835 --> 00:23:59,003
to legally warrant a recall
or even a warning.
538
00:23:59,005 --> 00:24:02,290
We were following
the letter of the law.
539
00:24:02,292 --> 00:24:05,209
Somebody killed
your employee,
540
00:24:05,211 --> 00:24:06,711
took the only
detailed file
541
00:24:06,713 --> 00:24:08,179
about what was wrong
with your wiring
542
00:24:08,181 --> 00:24:09,580
and demonstrated
the problem.
543
00:24:09,582 --> 00:24:11,716
All in the last two days.
544
00:24:15,221 --> 00:24:17,438
Look, uh...
545
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,224
I'm sorry about
Carter, but...
546
00:24:20,226 --> 00:24:24,362
none of this has anything to do
with me or my company.
547
00:24:32,037 --> 00:24:33,638
Navy Watcher Fleet.
548
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,105
Plimpton knew about a file
549
00:24:35,107 --> 00:24:36,774
that matched something
in your database.
550
00:24:36,776 --> 00:24:38,042
Aquamarine?
551
00:24:38,044 --> 00:24:40,127
We think it was about
552
00:24:40,129 --> 00:24:41,495
your bad wiring.
553
00:24:41,497 --> 00:24:44,782
Look, I told you, our
wiring was well within
554
00:24:44,784 --> 00:24:46,717
any acceptable risk model.
555
00:24:46,719 --> 00:24:49,754
Besides, we installed it
over four years ago.
556
00:24:49,756 --> 00:24:51,722
For the Navy.
No.
557
00:24:51,724 --> 00:24:53,090
Civilian market only.
558
00:24:53,092 --> 00:24:55,176
We never sold it to the Navy.
559
00:24:55,178 --> 00:24:59,313
And I told you,
I never heard of Watcher Fleet.
560
00:25:10,325 --> 00:25:12,643
Tony's catching up
on his case reports.
561
00:25:12,645 --> 00:25:13,828
What's wrong?
562
00:25:13,830 --> 00:25:14,912
He's been this way
563
00:25:14,914 --> 00:25:17,949
ever since he got back
from the cargo ship.
564
00:25:17,951 --> 00:25:19,500
We have to ask him
about this.
565
00:25:19,502 --> 00:25:21,636
Yeah.
566
00:25:28,677 --> 00:25:30,160
Can I help you?
567
00:25:36,635 --> 00:25:38,552
Is that you, Tony?
568
00:25:38,554 --> 00:25:40,805
Be honest-- is that you?
569
00:25:41,673 --> 00:25:43,641
Yeah.
570
00:25:43,643 --> 00:25:45,509
You saved Jason from a fire?
571
00:25:45,511 --> 00:25:47,645
It was the kid's lucky day.
572
00:25:49,031 --> 00:25:50,448
Okay.
573
00:25:50,450 --> 00:25:52,366
What happened?
574
00:25:59,858 --> 00:26:02,960
Final Four was in Baltimore.
575
00:26:02,962 --> 00:26:04,829
Getting ready
to play UCLA.
576
00:26:04,831 --> 00:26:06,080
Basketball, Ziva.
577
00:26:06,082 --> 00:26:07,548
And?
578
00:26:10,886 --> 00:26:12,720
And I was out for a walk.
579
00:26:12,722 --> 00:26:17,041
I was trying to clear my head,
focus for the game.
580
00:26:17,043 --> 00:26:22,346
And I saw smoke
coming out of this townhouse.
581
00:26:22,348 --> 00:26:26,484
I heard a scream,
so I went in.
582
00:26:26,486 --> 00:26:28,486
How come you never told us?
583
00:26:28,488 --> 00:26:30,755
You should be proud.
584
00:26:31,556 --> 00:26:33,891
It was more complicated
than that.
585
00:26:37,412 --> 00:26:39,747
Is anybody up here?
586
00:26:39,749 --> 00:26:41,065
Hello!
587
00:26:46,071 --> 00:26:47,838
Whoa!
588
00:26:52,210 --> 00:26:54,211
Help me!
589
00:26:54,213 --> 00:26:57,414
Aah!
590
00:27:00,052 --> 00:27:02,970
Hello?
591
00:27:02,972 --> 00:27:05,589
Help!
592
00:27:08,110 --> 00:27:09,894
Hey. You okay?
593
00:27:12,031 --> 00:27:14,198
You all right?
594
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,734
Okay.
It's going to be okay.
595
00:27:16,736 --> 00:27:19,387
Come here.
596
00:27:20,238 --> 00:27:22,790
Just hold on to me, okay?
597
00:27:23,792 --> 00:27:25,326
Amy!
598
00:27:25,328 --> 00:27:27,244
Jason, help!
599
00:27:27,246 --> 00:27:28,329
My sister!
600
00:27:28,331 --> 00:27:29,430
I can't get out!
601
00:27:29,432 --> 00:27:32,049
Help her!
602
00:27:32,834 --> 00:27:33,918
Please!
All right, all right.
603
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,337
Help!
604
00:27:36,339 --> 00:27:39,289
She's trapped!
605
00:27:39,291 --> 00:27:41,809
Help me!
606
00:27:41,811 --> 00:27:44,378
Help!
607
00:27:44,380 --> 00:27:46,313
We have to get her!
608
00:27:49,134 --> 00:27:51,102
Amy!
609
00:27:51,104 --> 00:27:52,720
Please!
610
00:27:52,722 --> 00:27:55,072
Don't leave her!
611
00:27:58,660 --> 00:28:01,078
I had to make a choice.
612
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,447
Save Jason...
613
00:28:03,449 --> 00:28:08,119
or risk all of us getting killed
trying to save his sister.
614
00:28:08,121 --> 00:28:10,438
I chose.
615
00:28:11,706 --> 00:28:13,574
She was four.
616
00:28:13,576 --> 00:28:15,176
Okay. What do we got?
617
00:28:16,428 --> 00:28:18,662
Uh, we got a hit
on a phone call
618
00:28:18,664 --> 00:28:20,848
Billy the firebug
made from prison.
619
00:28:20,850 --> 00:28:22,049
Yeah, and?
620
00:28:22,051 --> 00:28:25,386
Well, number belongs
to a Mary Gardocki.
621
00:28:25,388 --> 00:28:28,389
Mary's passport photo
is a perfect match
622
00:28:28,391 --> 00:28:30,340
to the prison security footage.
623
00:28:30,342 --> 00:28:31,842
Bring her ass in.
624
00:28:31,844 --> 00:28:33,444
Mm-hmm.
625
00:28:35,147 --> 00:28:36,947
Right, boss.
626
00:28:48,794 --> 00:28:50,828
You helped.
627
00:28:50,830 --> 00:28:52,997
Others didn't.
628
00:28:52,999 --> 00:28:54,832
I know.
629
00:28:54,834 --> 00:28:57,218
Good. Get out of here.
630
00:29:14,603 --> 00:29:16,821
What?
631
00:29:22,393 --> 00:29:24,345
Fire.
632
00:29:25,780 --> 00:29:27,364
That what you
633
00:29:27,366 --> 00:29:29,366
and Billy Wayne talked about?
634
00:29:30,619 --> 00:29:32,419
I'm writing a book.
635
00:29:32,421 --> 00:29:34,505
Oh, bull.
636
00:29:36,407 --> 00:29:39,009
Employment records.
637
00:29:40,846 --> 00:29:42,213
Yes.
638
00:29:42,215 --> 00:29:45,415
I've been the leading
sales rep at Curway Chemical
639
00:29:45,417 --> 00:29:46,884
three years running.
640
00:29:46,886 --> 00:29:48,469
So?
641
00:29:48,471 --> 00:29:50,587
So you sell C-4.
642
00:29:50,589 --> 00:29:52,422
Napalm.
643
00:29:52,424 --> 00:29:54,642
To everyone
from the U.S. government
644
00:29:54,644 --> 00:29:56,193
to Somali warlords.
645
00:29:56,195 --> 00:29:57,895
I'm good at
what I do.
646
00:29:57,897 --> 00:29:59,313
And it's legal.
647
00:29:59,315 --> 00:30:01,482
What's your point?
648
00:30:06,538 --> 00:30:08,389
You ever sell
to Navy Watcher Fleet?
649
00:30:09,574 --> 00:30:11,542
They're real?
650
00:30:11,544 --> 00:30:13,610
They exist?
651
00:30:13,612 --> 00:30:15,445
I've heard of them.
652
00:30:16,281 --> 00:30:18,832
Never met them.
653
00:30:18,834 --> 00:30:21,752
Maybe you could get me
an intro.
654
00:30:23,221 --> 00:30:25,639
The best salesmen...
655
00:30:25,641 --> 00:30:27,624
they're the best liars.
656
00:30:31,596 --> 00:30:34,315
Are you lying to me, Mare?
657
00:30:35,650 --> 00:30:38,135
Absolutely not.
658
00:30:50,365 --> 00:30:52,482
Thermite burns are nasty, huh?
659
00:30:52,484 --> 00:30:53,817
I can explain.
660
00:30:53,819 --> 00:30:55,152
Mm, I can't wait.
661
00:30:55,154 --> 00:30:59,006
I've been using Billy to
develop a more stable thermite.
662
00:30:59,008 --> 00:31:01,792
A patent could mean millions.
663
00:31:01,794 --> 00:31:05,629
If the thermite in your burn
matches our victim...
664
00:31:05,631 --> 00:31:07,381
It won't.
665
00:31:07,383 --> 00:31:10,000
I didn't kill anyone.
666
00:31:14,723 --> 00:31:18,392
If I don't believe you...
667
00:31:18,394 --> 00:31:20,611
don't be disappointed.
668
00:31:20,613 --> 00:31:23,280
I don't know anything
about a murder.
669
00:31:25,483 --> 00:31:28,569
I've been in the burn center
for the last three days.
670
00:31:28,571 --> 00:31:30,904
I swear,
671
00:31:30,906 --> 00:31:33,557
I'm not lying.
672
00:31:41,181 --> 00:31:42,664
Thank you.
673
00:31:43,211 --> 00:31:44,828
Hospital where Mary's burn
was treated
674
00:31:44,830 --> 00:31:46,129
confirms she was in the ER
675
00:31:46,131 --> 00:31:48,164
the morning
of the warehouse fire.
676
00:31:48,166 --> 00:31:50,550
Jack Murdoch sent over
a list of civilian ships
677
00:31:50,552 --> 00:31:52,669
installed with
the questionable wiring.
678
00:31:52,671 --> 00:31:55,371
No reported problems over
the last four years.
679
00:31:55,373 --> 00:31:58,341
One of them could be
the arsonist's next target.
680
00:31:58,343 --> 00:32:01,043
Perhaps, but we still
do not have a motive.
681
00:32:01,045 --> 00:32:02,729
Corporate espionage?
682
00:32:02,731 --> 00:32:04,814
Maybe a personal vendetta
within the company?
683
00:32:04,816 --> 00:32:06,733
Or none of the above.
684
00:32:06,735 --> 00:32:08,868
We missing something, boss?
685
00:32:08,870 --> 00:32:09,986
Yeah.
686
00:32:09,988 --> 00:32:13,106
How any of this connects
to the damn Navy.
687
00:32:13,108 --> 00:32:16,058
Well, we haven't really heard
from Abby in a while.
688
00:32:16,060 --> 00:32:19,362
Maybe she and Jason
found something?
689
00:32:27,671 --> 00:32:29,706
Gibbs, can you come to the lab?
690
00:32:29,708 --> 00:32:31,574
Yeah, Abbs.
691
00:32:31,576 --> 00:32:34,427
I'll be right down.
692
00:32:39,417 --> 00:32:42,352
It's a gift.
693
00:32:43,253 --> 00:32:45,054
What's cooking, Abbs?
694
00:32:45,056 --> 00:32:46,473
Our special ingredient.
695
00:32:46,475 --> 00:32:48,358
Ammonium phosphate,
to be specific.
696
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,093
After 47 attempts,
we finally determined
697
00:32:51,095 --> 00:32:52,979
that our killer has been
mixing thermite with...
698
00:32:52,981 --> 00:32:54,647
Wait, don't ruin the surprise.
699
00:32:54,649 --> 00:32:57,700
Okay, guess what has
700
00:32:57,702 --> 00:33:00,120
ammonium phosphate as
its key ingredient?
701
00:33:00,122 --> 00:33:01,270
Beer nuts.
702
00:33:01,272 --> 00:33:03,105
Fire retardant.
Wait.
703
00:33:03,107 --> 00:33:05,158
Fire retardant.
704
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,794
It's genius. Get it?
705
00:33:07,796 --> 00:33:08,962
No.
706
00:33:08,964 --> 00:33:10,713
Okay, the retardant coats
707
00:33:10,715 --> 00:33:12,582
the aluminum particles,
708
00:33:12,584 --> 00:33:15,635
it slows down the chemical
reaction in the thermite.
709
00:33:15,637 --> 00:33:17,887
See, there's no holes this time.
710
00:33:17,889 --> 00:33:19,973
So, you get all of the power
and no unnecessary damage.
711
00:33:19,975 --> 00:33:23,292
This is a controlled burn.
712
00:33:23,294 --> 00:33:24,961
This helps track our killer?
713
00:33:24,963 --> 00:33:26,312
That's the very
best part.
714
00:33:26,314 --> 00:33:28,648
The brand of retardant
our arsonist used
715
00:33:28,650 --> 00:33:31,818
is sold exclusively
to the U.S. Forest Service.
716
00:33:31,820 --> 00:33:34,971
You have to buy that from
the manufacturer directly.
717
00:33:34,973 --> 00:33:36,606
So we have a record
of who bought it.
718
00:33:36,608 --> 00:33:38,307
With photo IDs.
719
00:33:38,309 --> 00:33:39,742
We've been cross-checking
the faces
720
00:33:39,744 --> 00:33:42,529
against the Baltimore PD
database of known arsonists.
721
00:33:47,084 --> 00:33:51,120
Well, meet Bruce Johnson.
722
00:33:51,122 --> 00:33:52,672
We already have.
723
00:33:52,674 --> 00:33:54,757
He's the fire department
site inspector.
724
00:33:54,759 --> 00:33:56,626
Typically a
civilian position.
725
00:33:56,628 --> 00:33:59,295
He must've been an imposter,
a poser.
726
00:33:59,297 --> 00:34:01,831
Well, he's been a suspect
in several arsons for hire.
727
00:34:01,833 --> 00:34:04,166
None of them were proven.
728
00:34:04,168 --> 00:34:05,351
I guess if you have a...
729
00:34:05,353 --> 00:34:07,670
a fake Windbreaker and
a Photoshopped ID...
730
00:34:07,672 --> 00:34:09,472
I was homicide
till two months ago.
731
00:34:09,474 --> 00:34:12,375
There're nearly 2,000
firefighters in the department.
732
00:34:14,195 --> 00:34:15,695
I missed it.
733
00:34:15,697 --> 00:34:16,980
I-I'm sorry,
Agent Gibbs.
734
00:34:16,982 --> 00:34:19,015
Abbs, what's the last
known address for him?
735
00:34:19,017 --> 00:34:21,701
Um, I'll send it to McGee.
736
00:34:23,537 --> 00:34:25,488
He's not happy, is he?
737
00:34:25,490 --> 00:34:27,874
Well, he's...
738
00:34:27,876 --> 00:34:29,375
Hey.
Are you coming?
739
00:34:49,013 --> 00:34:50,830
Turn it off.
740
00:34:52,215 --> 00:34:53,983
Get out of the car.
741
00:34:57,387 --> 00:34:59,155
I want a deal.
742
00:34:59,157 --> 00:35:01,223
Turn it off, we'll talk.
743
00:35:01,225 --> 00:35:03,359
Look, the guy who hired me
744
00:35:03,361 --> 00:35:06,412
said Plimpton had information
about some bum wiring.
745
00:35:06,414 --> 00:35:08,531
I didn't mean to kill him,
but the bastard wouldn't talk.
746
00:35:08,533 --> 00:35:10,399
Who hired you?
747
00:35:12,402 --> 00:35:15,104
Do we have a deal?
748
00:35:15,106 --> 00:35:16,923
Turn off the car!
749
00:35:29,720 --> 00:35:31,104
Get down!
750
00:35:31,106 --> 00:35:32,605
The car's gonna blow.
751
00:35:55,079 --> 00:35:57,279
Here you go.
Thanks.
752
00:35:59,083 --> 00:36:01,334
Looks like your basic
C-4 fuel charge
753
00:36:01,336 --> 00:36:02,835
rigged to the ignition.
754
00:36:02,837 --> 00:36:05,305
Turn it on to arm it,
turn it off to go boom.
755
00:36:05,307 --> 00:36:06,589
Gibbs, I found this inside.
756
00:36:06,591 --> 00:36:10,493
The missing file from
the United Equinox warehouse.
757
00:36:11,312 --> 00:36:13,179
Well, it's a list.
758
00:36:13,181 --> 00:36:14,397
Of what?
759
00:36:14,399 --> 00:36:17,133
Every Navy warship that contains
the faulty wiring.
760
00:36:17,135 --> 00:36:19,102
They did sell it to the Navy.
761
00:36:19,104 --> 00:36:21,270
The guy from United Equinox
lied to us.
762
00:36:21,272 --> 00:36:23,806
Geek bastard.
763
00:36:23,808 --> 00:36:25,491
What?
764
00:36:25,493 --> 00:36:27,243
When Plimpton discovered
the wiring was faulty,
765
00:36:27,245 --> 00:36:29,478
he also sent a copy of his memo
to the Navy.
766
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,081
Current Watcher Fleet's
been working with the Navy
767
00:36:32,083 --> 00:36:33,282
to fix the problem.
768
00:36:33,284 --> 00:36:35,151
Using its top-secret
code name Aquamarine.
769
00:36:35,153 --> 00:36:36,318
But...
770
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:37,319
"But"?
771
00:36:37,321 --> 00:36:38,538
Only a third of the fleet
772
00:36:38,540 --> 00:36:40,340
has been retrofitted so far.
773
00:36:40,342 --> 00:36:42,291
So two-thirds are still at risk.
774
00:36:42,293 --> 00:36:45,712
Whoever hired our arsonist knows
how to attack U.S. warships.
775
00:36:45,714 --> 00:36:49,015
Blackmail? Corporate espionage?
776
00:36:49,850 --> 00:36:52,118
Terrorism.
777
00:36:59,060 --> 00:37:01,477
Yes, Admiral, but since
Director Vance is out of town...
778
00:37:01,479 --> 00:37:03,613
I'll have his detail notified,
sir.
779
00:37:03,615 --> 00:37:06,015
Uh-huh. Well, there is no
immediate cause for concern.
780
00:37:06,017 --> 00:37:08,350
If that changes,
we will keep you informed.
781
00:37:08,352 --> 00:37:10,987
No! Four cheese, four pepperoni
and four sausage.
782
00:37:10,989 --> 00:37:12,354
We've got a lot of agents
working late.
783
00:37:12,356 --> 00:37:13,522
Make 'em all
larges, DiNozzo.
784
00:37:13,524 --> 00:37:15,241
On it, boss.
785
00:37:15,243 --> 00:37:16,826
Director Vance
and Naval Command elements
786
00:37:16,828 --> 00:37:18,044
have been notified,
Gibbs.
787
00:37:18,046 --> 00:37:19,662
SECNAV's office is bolstering
788
00:37:19,664 --> 00:37:21,697
security
across the board.
789
00:37:21,699 --> 00:37:23,216
There's a meeting in MTAC
in five.
790
00:37:23,218 --> 00:37:24,467
Pizzas will be here in 30.
791
00:37:24,469 --> 00:37:27,036
Look, until we know
who's behind this,
792
00:37:27,038 --> 00:37:30,006
we have to believe that
they can hire somebody else.
793
00:37:30,008 --> 00:37:32,892
Boss, Aquamarine was kept
top secret to prevent anyone
794
00:37:32,894 --> 00:37:35,211
from exploiting the danger
to the fleet.
795
00:37:35,213 --> 00:37:38,097
So how did they
find out about it?
796
00:37:38,099 --> 00:37:40,266
Good question.
797
00:37:40,268 --> 00:37:42,819
DiNozzo?
798
00:37:47,241 --> 00:37:48,557
He doesn't see it, boss.
799
00:37:48,559 --> 00:37:49,842
Help him.
800
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:58,918
Jason. Hey.
801
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:00,453
Never got a chance
to say thanks.
802
00:38:00,455 --> 00:38:02,404
You saved my butt
on the cargo ship.
803
00:38:02,406 --> 00:38:04,040
I could have saved Johnson.
804
00:38:04,042 --> 00:38:06,092
He would've given us answers.
805
00:38:06,094 --> 00:38:07,743
No.
806
00:38:07,745 --> 00:38:09,178
It was too
late for that.
807
00:38:09,180 --> 00:38:10,296
No, you gave up.
808
00:38:10,298 --> 00:38:11,514
Again.
809
00:38:11,516 --> 00:38:13,015
Your specialty.
810
00:38:27,098 --> 00:38:29,832
There was nothing we
could have done today,
811
00:38:29,834 --> 00:38:32,068
and there was nothing we
could have done that night.
812
00:38:32,070 --> 00:38:33,569
Wrong.
You could have tried.
813
00:38:33,571 --> 00:38:34,937
I did try.
814
00:38:34,939 --> 00:38:36,289
Listen,
815
00:38:36,291 --> 00:38:41,277
I ran into a burning building
and dragged your ass out.
816
00:38:41,279 --> 00:38:43,129
You're welcome, by the way.
817
00:38:43,131 --> 00:38:45,748
I heard her screams.
818
00:38:45,750 --> 00:38:49,218
You weren't
the only one.
819
00:38:50,805 --> 00:38:55,091
Something I learned
that night, Jason...
820
00:38:55,093 --> 00:38:58,094
you can't save them all.
821
00:38:58,096 --> 00:39:01,347
Sometimes...
822
00:39:01,349 --> 00:39:03,966
you have to pick one.
823
00:39:03,968 --> 00:39:05,568
I picked you.
824
00:39:05,570 --> 00:39:08,470
Otherwise all three
of us would have...
825
00:39:08,472 --> 00:39:13,242
died that night,
and you know it.
826
00:39:16,246 --> 00:39:20,149
She was my baby sister.
827
00:39:22,119 --> 00:39:25,338
I was supposed to be
taking care of her.
828
00:39:26,290 --> 00:39:30,760
A lot of things
changed that night.
829
00:39:30,762 --> 00:39:33,346
I decided to become a cop
830
00:39:33,348 --> 00:39:38,500
because of a kid I almost
lost in Baltimore...
831
00:39:38,502 --> 00:39:40,836
but didn't.
832
00:39:40,838 --> 00:39:44,607
And that's you.
833
00:39:44,609 --> 00:39:48,344
For the first time in my life,
834
00:39:48,346 --> 00:39:50,313
I made a difference.
835
00:39:50,315 --> 00:39:55,701
I did something
that mattered.
836
00:39:55,703 --> 00:39:59,789
I've been trying to
do that ever since.
837
00:40:00,657 --> 00:40:02,858
Me, too.
838
00:40:02,860 --> 00:40:06,245
I know.
839
00:40:08,032 --> 00:40:11,667
And look at what
you've become.
840
00:40:13,587 --> 00:40:15,955
She's gone; we're not.
841
00:40:15,957 --> 00:40:19,225
Focus on the ones
you can still save.
842
00:40:32,222 --> 00:40:34,390
I'll try.
843
00:40:48,255 --> 00:40:50,373
Something wrong, boss?
844
00:40:50,375 --> 00:40:53,292
The Watcher Fleet
microchips.
845
00:40:53,294 --> 00:40:56,629
Like the one removed
from Agent Levin's arm?
846
00:40:56,631 --> 00:40:59,915
Is it possible
that they contained information
847
00:40:59,917 --> 00:41:02,018
about the wiring flaws?
848
00:41:02,020 --> 00:41:03,752
Well, I guess so.
849
00:41:03,754 --> 00:41:05,354
Access to it.
850
00:41:05,356 --> 00:41:07,690
But those are all accounted for.
851
00:41:07,692 --> 00:41:09,892
Right?
852
00:41:52,802 --> 00:41:56,802
== sync, corrected by elderman ==
