Cut to Abby in her Lab. Files up loading. Cuddling Bert the Hippo in one arm. Turns away from the screen, a second or two later Jay Baruchel's pic from the Missouri fish pool pops up.
"Late night laser tatt' removal ..... there's gotta be ..... someone ..... not too far ..... Ah-ha! Oh, L A, too far ..... No ...... No, no and
no-ho!" ('no-ho' in a sing song way " ..... No ..... Yes!" Abby.
Picks up cell phone, dials.
She wanders into her office to fetch her bag,
"Oh hi, I'd like to make an appointment ...... Tonight, if possible ..... Yeah, I know, but you gotta help me ...... Please? ..... Yeah? For real? ...... In three hours? ..... No, that's awesome! ..... Thank you so,
so much! ..... You too, bye!" Abby into her cell phone.
Abby walks back into her lab, and Jay Baruchel's face is replaced by the screen saver a split second before she sees it.
Turns to Bert, squats down to be eyeball to eyeball with him.
"You know what Bert? I am
definitely loosing that tatt,
tonight!" Abby, very happily to Bert.
Close up on Bert.
(Bert's poker face is impressively uncommunicative)
Cut to wider shot of lab, Abby stands and turns, walks to the door, taps the smart phone screen a couple of times and all the lights and computers shut down.
Cut to Abby's face, she smiles, satisfied and steps forward, out of shot.
Cut to interrogation, with subtitles.
"I have a problem, I hope you can help me?" Gibbs signs.
"If I can." Hiccup signs.
"We have been chasing a murderer. Now he's dead." Gibbs signs.
"Is that a problem?" Hiccup signs.
Gibbs shows Hiccup a still of the tattooed man from bus station CCTV.
"Do you recognize this man?" Gibbs signs.
"Yes. He attacked me. With a sword." Hiccup signs.
Gibbs takes from the file several pictures of burned bodies.
"He attacked these people with the same sword, they all died. You did not. Can you explain that?" Gibbs signs.
"I am good with sword." Hiccup signs.
"You have a sword?." Gibbs signs.
"I used a pipe. Great, no. Better than nothing, yes." Hiccup signs.
"I need to know how he died." Gibbs signs.
"Building collapsed," Hiccup signs.
"What caused it to collapse?" Gibbs signs.
Hiccup looks at Gibbs for a moment, and sighs before answering.
"Dragon." Hiccup signs.
"Dragon?" Gibbs signs.
Hiccup nods.
Gibbs looks at appraisingly for a several seconds before changing tack.
"Why did you go to Missouri? " Gibbs signs.
"I follow him." Hiccup signs to Gibbs, then points to pic of tattooed man.
"Did you take bus." Gibbs signs.
"Him bus, me ..... dragon." Hiccup signs.
Gibbs gives Hiccup a long look, before showing Hiccup a picture of the burned warehouse in Missouri.
"You met him here?" Gibbs signs,.
"Followed him there." Hiccup signs.
"What happened there?" Gibbs signs.
"He hid something there, he retrieved it and burned it." Hiccup signs.
"What was it?" Gibbs signs.
"Pictures." Hiccup signs.
"Pictures of what?" Gibbs signs.
Hiccup points sifts the pictures on the table to find the burned bodies.
"These people, dead, before they were burned." Hiccup signs slowly.
"OK. How did you get on the roof?" Gibbs signs.
Hiccup hesitates.
"Dragon." Hiccup signs.
"Dragon?" Gibbs signs.
"Dragon." Hiccup signs.
"B.S!" Gibbs signs.
Cut to Abby in the NCIS parking lot, it's now dark outside.
Abby walks past a row of identical, and identically parked Dodge Chargers. There, at the end of the lot, a vintage silver Morgan, and 4NS-CHIK. Abby's 1931, red, copped and channeled, five window Ford coupe street rod.
There's a rustle off screen, accompanied by the softest metallic jingle, Abby turns to look.
"Hello? ..... Is anyone there?" Abby.
No answer.
Long pause, Abby looks.
Abby gets something from her bag slowly.
"I have my mace ..... " Abby, warning.
Another rustle.
" ...... and ..... " Abby trails off.
Abby's expression turns to one of complete amazement. We don't see what it is, but there's a soft rumble, we know the sound. It's Toothless.
Gibbs is annoyed. Takes frame capture pic of Hiccup climbing back onto the roof in Missouri and the paperwork of his being booked in at metro. Gibbs points to the two times.
"How did you get from here ..... " slides Missouri pic in front of Hiccup " ..... to here." Gibbs signs.
Gibbs slides the two apart and points to the times again.
"That quick?" Gibbs signs.
"Flew." Hiccup signs to Gibbs.
"What airline?" Gibbs signs.
"Dragon." Hiccup signs.
"
What airline?" Gibbs signs.
"
Dragon!" Hiccup signs.
Gibbs bangs the table, looking furious.
Cut to Observation room behind Gibbs.
McGee is watching.
DiNozzo enters drinking a coffee, and hands a cup to McGee.
"Thanks Tony." McGee, slightly unsettled by this.
"No problem, McGee." DiNozzo, pronouncing it correctly.
Cut to Interrogation.
Gibbs's cell rings, Gibbs looks at the screen.
Cut to the screen, it's Abby. Gibbs turns it off
Cut to observation room.
We see Gibbs throw the cell phone in the trash can.
"So, Tony, I gotta ask this. I don't want this taken the wrong way, and don't think I don't appreciate it." McGee.
"But?" DiNozzo.
"Why are you being ......
nice? All of a sudden?" McGee.
"Well, as you already know, Tim, I'm a nice guy. It's one of my defining features." DiNozzo.
"Why,
really?" McGee.
"Well ..... " DiNozzo.
DiNozzo Smiles, attempts to laugh it off.
Cut to McGee's look of curiosity.
" ..... Couple of days ago I ran into someone, and they made me think. Kinda take a deeper look at stuff. I ended up, err, was concerned that some of the friendly, kidding around could be mistaken for ..... something else. Which obviously I'm not, never have been, and I know what your probably thinking, '
Tony, you're being paranoid', but ..... " DiNozzo, flippantly.
DiNozzo shoots a sideways look at McGee.
Cut to McGee, looking serious.
"A woman?" McGee.
"No. Actually, it was a man." DiNozzo.
"Well, I hope you're very happy together." McGee, with no trace of insincerity.
"
It was a construction worker." DiNozzo, defensive.
McGee gives a raised eyebrow and expansive hand gesture to indicate that it is the twenty first century and that is OK now.
DiNozzo frowns, annoyed, and is about to speak, when ......
McGee's cell phone rings, he looks at the screen and answers it.
"Hey Abby ..... Observation room ..... Yeah, he, threw it in the trash ...... I know ......
Seriously? ..... Err, you know how he gets if someone disturbs an interrogations ..... " McGee into his cell phone.
McGee looks at DiNozzo, slightly spooked.
Cut to Interrogation, camera at table height, looking at Hiccup and Gibbs (in focus), with door in background (out of focus). There's a knock at the door.
"
GO AWAY!" Gibbs shouts at the Door.
Another knock.
"
I SAID ...... " Gibbs again shouting at the Door.
"It's important." voice of McGee interrupts, sounding a little scared.
McGee enters.
"
It'd better be!" Gibbs, truly pissed.
McGee hands Gibbs the phone, Gibbs looks at it, then looks murderously into McGee's eyes.
"What is it Abby?" Gibbs, not happy.
Cut to Abby in the parking lot.
"Err, You need to get down to, err, the evidence garage, like
right now." Abby, deadly serious.
Cut to Interrogation.
"Abby, I'm in the middle of an interrogation!" Gibbs.
Cut to Abby in the parking lot.
"With Hiccup. I know. Need to bring him, too." Abby, still deadly serious..
Cut to Interrogation.
Abby hangs up.
Gibbs is shocked.
Cut to evidence garage, we can tell from the lighting that the outer door is open, but we can't see the door.
We see Ducky is already there, looking surprized but happy.
Elevator doors open.
Hiccup runs past Ducky and out of shot.
Gibbs, DiNozzo, McGee, and Eleanor all file out of the elevator behind Hiccup, all with stunned expressions.
"Tony, ..... " Ducky.
Abby walks into shot from the direction Hiccup went.
" ...... I do believe you owe Miss Sciuto an apology." Ducky.
"Err." DiNozzo
Abby walks up with just a hint of swagger. Abby smiles, very extra specially happy. Cut to black and white still (Phoop)
Credits Roll.
(Toothless the Dragon is listed as 'Himself')
That's all folks!
