TEXT: INT. SQUAD ROOM - DAY TONY: Wow. What'd you do? Spend the night sake-bombing? KATE: It's a cold, Tony. Sake-bombing? TONY: Oh, come on, Kate. Don't tell me you've never heard of sake-bombing? KATE: Would I ask if - forget it. I don't want to know. TONY: You take a cup of hot sake. You drop it in a beer. You toss it back and - and KA-BOOM! KATE: Sake-bombing. TONY: Great for a cold. KATE: I'll stick to honey and hot tea, thanks. TONY: McGee, Kate's never been sake-bombing. MCGEE: You know, I don't think I have either. TONY: I work with a pair of w*nk*rs. GIBBS: And you make three, DiNozzo. TONY: Good morning, Boss! KATE: Good morning. GIBBS: Cold or flu? KATE: Just plain cold. Don't worry. I will sneeze into my tissues, unlike some people. TONY: I have allergies, Kate. GIBBS: Never had allergies. Never had a cold. KATE: You never had a cold? GIBBS: Nope. Never had the flu either. KATE: Why do I believe that? TONY: If you were a bug, would you attack Gibbs? MCGEE: I get colds all the time. TONY: Of course you do, Probie. MCGEE: This one is just addressed to "NCIS Special Agent." TONY: I think that's mine, McGee. Huh? MCGEE: How do you know? TONY: I recognize the lips. And the scent. KATE: Gummy Bears?(TONY OPENS THE ENVELOPE AND BLOWS) (FADE OUT) (THEME MUSIC UP OVER OPENING TITLE/SCENES / CREDITS AND OUT) MU
SUMMARY:
All hell breaks loose at the NCIS office when Tony opens a mysterious letter containing a small puff of white powder which may be a deadly bacteria. The whole office is put into lockdown and quarantined, leaving only the lab and autopsy operational. Kate and Tony are isolated into a bio-hazard isolation room while McGee and Gibbs are forced to seal themselves in hazmat suits to be able to help. The letter inside tells them that there is a cure, but in order get the cure before a 32-hour time window expires, NCIS must re-investigate an unsolved rape case from four years earlier where all the prime suspects (navy academy seniors) were cleared by DNA. As the time window ticks away, and it becomes clear that one person is infected, Gibbs must find those responsible before he loses one of his agents.
