- Special Agent Vivian Blackadder: Good morning, Tony. What are you doing? That investigation's wrapped up.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Is it?
- Special Agent Vivian Blackadder: Oh, you're in Gibbs' camp now? "Rabb didn't do it."
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Think outside the FBI box for a sec, Viv. It's too perfect. I'm a cop; it just doesn't sit right.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Special Agent Gibbs, NCIS.
- Major Jack McBurney: Major McBurney.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: I know.
- Major Jack McBurney: [indicating a shooting target] Want me to set one up for you?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: I'm here to discuss the Rabb case. How long you figure this trial's going to last?
- Major Jack McBurney: Why, you got someplace to go?
- [Gibbs grins]
- Major Jack McBurney: Where?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Need to know, Major. You don't.
- [PA system calls for cease fire]
- Major Jack McBurney: How long this goes depends on how well we do on the stand. I assume your people are prepped.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: How 'bout you, counselor?
- Major Jack McBurney: Looks like a slam dunk. You disagree?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Rabb's a smart lawyer. If he's the killer, he made some dumb-ass mistakes. Only nailed him because he was protecting his brother.
- Lt. Cmdr. Faith Coleman: What happened that night at Benzinger's bar?
- Cmdr. Harmon 'Harm' Rabb, Jr.: I met with Lieutenant Singer. We argued. She left, I followed her outside, we argued some more in her car.
- Lt. Cmdr. Faith Coleman: And was that when you phoned your brother using your cell phone?
- Cmdr. Harmon 'Harm' Rabb, Jr.: Yeah, I wanted to be there when she told him it wasn't his baby. I wanted to look into her eyes.
- Lt. Cmdr. Faith Coleman: Because you didn't believe her.
- Cmdr. Harmon 'Harm' Rabb, Jr.: I rarely believed anything Lieutenant Singer said.
- Lt. Cmdr. Faith Coleman: I read your interview with Gibbs. Why didn't you tell him your story?
- Cmdr. Harmon 'Harm' Rabb, Jr.: I was protecting my brother.
- Lt. Cmdr. Faith Coleman: Fine, but when they told you that the murder happened in January and not six weeks ago, you knew your brother couldn't be involved, so why not cooperate then?
- Cmdr. Harmon 'Harm' Rabb, Jr.: Because by then I looked guilty. And I decided to trust Navy justice instead of Navy cops.
- [Coleman sighs]
- Cmdr. Harmon 'Harm' Rabb, Jr.: Look, there are enough holes in this case to raise reasonable doubt.
- Lt. Cmdr. Faith Coleman: There's also enough evidence to tie you to the murders and a string of witnesses, your colleagues, will testify to angry words between you and Lieutenant Singer right up to the time of her death.
- Cmdr. Harmon 'Harm' Rabb, Jr.: Well, it could be worse, I guess.
- Lt. Cmdr. Faith Coleman: How?
- Cmdr. Harmon 'Harm' Rabb, Jr.: I could not have an alibi.
- Lt. Cmdr. Faith Coleman: You have an alibi?
- Cmdr. Harmon 'Harm' Rabb, Jr.: No.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: What do you got for me?
- Abby Sciuto: Well, I tested the sediment of the fibers in the cover. There were high concentrations of quartz, feldspar, and kaloinite.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: I flunked Earth science, Abby.
- [arresting Commander Lindsey]
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: You probably know your Article 31 rights, but I kind of like reading them.
- [DiNozzo has Lindsey dead to rights]
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Do you know why I always catch the doctors and lawyers?
- [Lindsey shakes his head]
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: They over-think.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: You're going back to the FBI.
- Special Agent Vivian Blackadder: What?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: To get whatever they have on bin Atwa.
- Special Agent Vivian Blackadder: Right.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Also want transcripts of all previous Al-Jihad interrogations mentioning his name or Mohommed's.
- Special Agent Vivian Blackadder: That'll take weeks!
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: You got two days. If you can't get it done by then, don't bother coming back.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: As you know, your cover was found near the scene of the crime.
- Cmdr. Harmon 'Harm' Rabb, Jr.: You want to know how it got there.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: We know. It was planted.
- Major Jack McBurney: Looks like you may be off the hook, Commander.
- Special Agent Vivian Blackadder: We did some checking into Lieutenant Singer's love life. She was seen having dinner and drinks with a sandy-haired man.
- Cmdr. Harmon 'Harm' Rabb, Jr.: My brother, at Benzinger's bar.
- Special Agent Vivian Blackadder: No, no, no. This guy was older. And they never met at Benzinger's.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Checked the JAG security log. We got a suspect. We just need to know if he had the opportunity.
- [Tony hands Rabb a photograph; flashback of Commander Lindsey taking Rabb's cover]
- Cmdr. Harmon 'Harm' Rabb, Jr.: That son of a bitch. He did it right in front of me.
