where? north carolina. shouldn't the carolinas field office handle that? they did. check the ncic. bishop: okay. oh, someone stole $350,000 from an armored truck, and then fled onto a naval air station. not very smart. base security will be all over him. can't find him, even after a lockdown and search. why would they call us? before the lockdown, a navy transport plane took off. they think the thief could be on board. yeah, it was immediately diverted to andrews, and it lands in 20 minutes. ooh, 20 minutes across town? talk about stress. well, at least gibbs can still enjoy his break. mmm. (vehicle approaching)

(car door closes) (knocking) gibbs! tobias. called your office. they said that you were taking a few days off. acting director? yikes. i figured you'd come up here to get away from it all. i did. good for you. you deserve a break. what do you want? to see you happy. my house is being bug-bombed, so i need a place to crash. i let you stay on my couch when your place had termites. they were your termites. what are best friends for? ha, that's what i said. gibbs, that outhouse needs new magazines and softer toilet paper. phil brooks. nice to meet you. tobias fornell. i didn't realize i was interrupting. you both are. i already apologized for my misunderstanding. i recently sold my house in a divorce,

and the new apartment's not ready till next week. i called gibbs to crash; he said he was staying at the cabin. gibbs: it was a fact, not an invitation. i didn't see your car. uber. i only got here ten minutes before you. what are the chances? yeah. who knew that gibbs had multiple best friends? it's funny, uh, he's never mentioned you. or you. huh. carl was it?

torres: line up over here, please. and, uh, no talking. all right, flight deck is clear. aft wells are clear. cargo area is secured, pallets are sealed. what the hell is going on, sir? a grave misunderstanding. prasad: looks like your robber found another way off that air station. well, we still need to talk to the crew. nick. guys, let's chat. prasad: look, agent mcgee, unless you have proof that your robber was on this plane... bishop: mcgee? got something. hey. i got blood. and torn fabric.

there have been over a hundred documented wheel well stowaways. hmm. so it's actually possible. oh, more than possible. i mean, especially on a plane this size. the nose well of the hercules is comparatively roomy. no peanuts or oxygen. i didn't say it was safe. well, our guy did lose a finger. must have pinched after takeoff. ouch. but survivable. uh, well... finger folly aside, three out of four wheel well stowaways die in midair, either due to lack of oxygen or the extreme cold. temperatures at altitude can drop to negative 40. oof. bad way to travel. kind of like a unicycle. unless you've got cold-weather gear, an oxygen tank and a parachute. yeah, sure. then a wheel well is a pretty ingenious way to disappear to south america without a trail. very jason bourne. till the plane was diverted. which leaves us with two options. either our guy fell out with no parachute, and we're looking for a dead pancake... or he jumped and is still alive... somewhere.

i'm still working on that. so, what about an i.d.? or are you just searching for matt damon? police never got a good look at the robber, and the car was stolen. fingerprints. they didn't find any. yeah, no, but we did. the severed finger, right. uh, it's down in autopsy, thawing. the fishlord 2000 came out two years ago, but it didn't have gps capabilities or social media app support. this model does. because this is the fishlord 3000. automated voice: let's reel 'em in! (laughs) spared no expense. why? for gibbs and me to use on the lake. no. why are you two friends? i said. he helped build my boat. no, i got that. it's the stuff about twitter and expensive fish finders where i get lost. have you met gibbs? he's a troglodyte. no offense. too late. what are these for? keys to my house. knock yourselves out. you want us to stay there?

you're not staying here. well... it was good to meet you, fred. (sighs) it's phil. and he was talking to both of us. no, he wasn't. i know the man. so do i. gibbs and i have shared a lot. have you shared an ex-wife? no. (scoffs) is that a brag? i'm just saying that i know the man intimately. oh, wait. (chuckles) you're jealous. what?! yeah. no! yes. it's just that if you were really friends, you'd know that gibbs hates electronics in the cabin. especially hunting aids. and don't get me started on phones. but it's my first time up here. exactly. so why don't you sit this one out, skippy? well, you got a car. i'm stuck here. i will call you a taxi. signal is always a little bit spotty here. (wood clatters) no. no, no, no, no. no. that wasn't for pleasure, gibbs. that was an emergency!

you were right. he does hate electronics at the cabin. he's pretty mad at you. (sighs) sir, by 7:10 we were climbing to 30,000 feet at a little over 300 miles an hour. still with nothing to report. lieutenant holcomb, you had an unauthorized passenger on that plane, your plane, and we're trying to figure out how he got there. then stop accusing me and my crew of being involved! you notice anything unusual this morning? nope. we make that flight every month, like clockwork. (phone rings) hello? your ground crew. they might have seen something. everyone on that tarmac has a job to do. looking for stowaways isn't one of them. i mean, who the hell would be that stupid? i think we're about to find out. on my way back, jimmy. nail pitting can be a sign of psoriasis or inflammatory arthritis. uh, no doubt the tropical south american climate

would ease the pain. what, you think this guy risked his life for better skin? vitamin supplements are much safer. jimmy, you said you had a print? just one sec. almost done. uh, dr. mallard, would you start for me? gladly. this is the right index finger of a fully grown adult male. after thawing the digit, and separating fabric from flesh, dr. palmer rehydrated the tissue with injections of saline. it's a common procedure. it's outlined in dr. mallard's book. volume one comes out next week. oh, that's right. congrats, duck. jimmy: it's exciting, huh? they even asked him to go on a signing tour. ducky: it's only being sold at lesser colleges with a specialized medical examiner program. i politely declined. but i am scheduling all of his flights. jimmy, i thought you were working on the fingerprint. yeah, it's on the list. right now, i am sending dr. mallard on the trip of a lifetime.

it is six weeks worth of dramatic readings, autographs. here's the itinerary. tell him he should go. what? (mouths) you know, duck, i loved doing my book tours for deep six. people really love putting a face to the words. especially the groupies. define "groupies." eager, attractive fans of your work. well, upper new york state is at its best this time of the year. yes, perhaps i should talk this over with my agent. where's my phone? ah. uh, excuse me. dr. mallard stayed to help after the director was kidnapped. but really, he's just been wandering around, uh, constantly looking over my shoulder. is it wrong for me to help him find a new project? jimmy, fingerprint.

oh, i already sent it up to kasie. what? why did you call me? (chuckles): uh, i needed your help with dr. mallard. gibbs would murder you. i know. you are so much nicer. bishop: robber's stolen car arrives at 6:39 a.m. he parks and waits. got tinted windows. you can't see a face. bishop: the armored truck arrives at 6:53. torres: you got one guard. bishop: a payday loan shop in the middle of nowhere, carolina is not a high priority. torres: it will be now. wow. 350 grand in four and a half seconds. that's not bad. bishop: he knew the delivery schedule and he was careful. torres: that flight suit helped him blend in on the base. could this guy be military? we need a name to match that finger. it's been classified. by who? the fbi. we got an exact match in the system, but to access the file, we have to be read in, in person.

the fbi is coming here? yeah. kasie: turn those frowns upside down. you got fingerprint info? oh, no. that is not the reason for the smiles. i found our robber. i mean, kind of, kind of-- the general area. okay. according to the black box recorder, the landing gear only extended on approach to d.c. the robber could have parachuted anytime before landing. that's 60 miles of north-south approach with about three miles of east-west drift for a parachute descent. needle, meet haystack. yes. but since no one reported a random parachute on their morning commute, (chuckles) and there was nothing on social media... our robber avoided populated areas. which would mean he jumped as soon as the landing gear doors opened. which would put him somewhere around here. bishop: well, okay, slightly smaller haystack. torres: you mean forest. yeah, and still too big to cover on foot. but we can alert park rangers and set up roadblocks. right, mcgee? these road names, they-they look familiar. wait, is this brossard county?

yes. no. what? what's in brossard county? gibbs, and his cabin. oh. ooh. yeah, but you said the search grid is-is huge. yeah, but we should still warn him. we're gonna interrupt his vacation? no, man. he doesn't want to talk to us. (phone ringing) special agent mcgee. hey, boss, uh, we were just talking about you. damn. that's just... that's next level. you're going out to search for a missing bank robber in the middle of nowhere? you used my phone to call ncis? hey. that was an emergency. you were looking for an excuse to get out of here. gibbs, the chances of you finding this guy are a million to one. so you're just gonna leave us? yes. well, i was an eagle scout. i was a trained federal agent. hmm.
