NCIS Saison 1

SEASON 1, EPISODE 2 - HUNG OUT TO DRY

Scene opens to a nighttime shot of a car parked under a big tree in the middle of a Park. Two teens are making-out in the backseat. The boy wants to take it further than the girl is willing.

GIRL: Jimmy. Jimmy, ugh. Stop! I said no! (pushes him away)

JIMMY: God, hey! I sat my sorry ass on a [torment??] bus for three hours to hook-up with you.

GIRL: If you only came to "hook-up", then you should have stayed in Charlottesville.

JIMMY: Oh, come on. You know I love you. (tries to kiss her again) Come here, come on...

GIRL: (holding him back) Jimmy. (he persists, she struggles to push him away) Stop it or I'll scream!

While the girl keeps trying to make Jimmy stop, he isn't listening. Then, at the moment she threatens to scream, a pair of legs punch through the roof of the car and splatter the teens in blood. The girl makes good on her promise to scream – quite nicely, in fact.

The camera then pans back from the car and we see that the body is a paratrooper, stuck halfway through the car's roof with his torso sticking out. The girl continues to scream.

*INTRO CREDITS*

Gibbs is in his basement working on his boat. The television plays a football game in the background. Tony appears at the top of the stairs.

TONY: Don't you lock the door?

GIBBS: Nope.

TONY (walking down stairs): We got a call. Quantico. Marine got killed in an exercise.

GIBBS: How?

TONY: Night training jump. Guy's chute didn't open. (examines wooden frame which is obviously a boat) Is this a boat?

Gibbs gives him a look, as if to say "what kind of stupid question is that?" then with a shake of the head, goes back to sanding his boat.

GIBBS: His reserve chute failed to open?

TONY: I don't know. (looks at jar of orange liquid on tabletop, inside is a cell phone) Huh. I tried your cell. I tried your hard line, too. (we see wall-mounted phone has been ripped down)

GIBBS: Don't ask.

TONY: You know, my dad gave me a power-sander for my birthday. I don't really power-sand much. You're welcome to it.

GIBBS: Except for that bare bulb there and the cord going to that idiot box, you see a power cord around here anywhere?

Tony takes a quick look around just to check, then shrugs. He stokes a hand slowly along the smoothed surface Gibbs was working on, admiring it.

TONY: (appreciatively) You use hand tools, huh?

GIBBS: I use my hands. You call Ducky?

TONY: Not yet.

GIBBS (walking up stairs): Give me your cell. (holds out a hand)

Tony tosses Gibbs his cell phone, then turns around to look at the broken telephone Gibbs ripped down. Gibbs exits the basement.

GIBBS (calling back from upstairs): Coming, DiNozzo?

TONY: (quietly) He's a weirdo. (louder) Yeah. I got the li— (the lights shut off, plunging the basement into pitchblack.) Light.
