NCIS: Tony and Ziva (2025) s01e06 Episode Script

1
GALIMARD:
I have no desire to harm a child.
But if I must, no objection.
- No, no.
- [tires screech]
Um, we're going in here.
In here.
For the next couple days,
Sophie's in charge.
You do exactly as she says.
Their daughter?
JONAH:
Their daughter.
Don't go after the girl.
There's a voice memo from Tali.
TALI: Mom, Dad, there are
strange men in the house.
SOPHIE: No, no, there's no time,
let's go.
You two take the car
and go get Tali.
Go.

[groaning]
[exhales]
Is this where we live now?
While we're on vacation, yes.
Isn't it nice?
It looks old and full of spiders.
[Ziva laughs]
Okay, it's a little, uh, rainy,
so go inside.
I did not say a word.
Although, when you said you
wanted to plan a little getaway,
I have to admit
this is not what I imagined.
Well, what did you think I meant
when I said
"a little cabin in the woods"?
Cute A-frame boutique hotel
with a spa
- and a Michelin restaurant.
- [laughs]
Not a kingdom of spiders.
I'm just saying,
it may not be a great place
for a seven-year-old.
Oh, that's precisely the point.
No distractions.
Quality time and all the
- No! No!
- ZIVA: Oh, my God!
- Are you okay?
- What the hell is this place?
Why is Daddy so mad?
He's not mad, he's just
- he's tired, honey.
- [sighs]
Why don't you go look around, huh?
It didn't occur to you to tell me
we were coming
to one of your safe houses?
I'm sorry,
I thought I cleared it.
I obviously missed a gun.
A gun my daughter found.
Our daughter!
It'll be fine. I'll talk to her.
My father taught me to shoot
at her age.
You want to teach
a seven-year-old how to shoot?
ZIVA: Of course not.
I just meant to say
Look, I, I remember
what my father told me
- when I was her age and
- Your father trained you to be a soldier.
We're not doing that with Tali.
Don't you think I know that?
Don't you think that
we should be better parents
than the ones that raised us?
Because why would we want her
to be anything like me?
Ziva.
How is it?
Everything you remember?
Worse.
That's the spirit.
So, a few ground rules.
No Internet.
No contacting friends.
Just laying low and
pretending like we don't exist.
I knew you could handle this.
I know we just left Paris,
and Mom and Dad'll need a beat
to sort things out,
but how long do you think
we'll be here?
Not long. Your parents know
what they're doing.
TONY:
No!
- No!
- ZIVA: Oh, my God!
Yeah. Sure they do.
♪
SOPHIE: Finally.
Reception here is atrocious.
CLAUDETTE [over phone]:
Hi. How are you?
How's Tali?
- Fine!
- SOPHIE: As long as she's got
her games,
things should stay that way.
Bless electronics.
The one true nanny.
Claudette.
How long do you think it'll take
for Mom and Dad to fix things?
I have a black belt test
next week.
- Not long. Your parents are pro.
- [objects clatter]
- What's wrong?
- I'll call you back.
That was weird.
Are you sure
that thing's not online?
Can't be when the house
doesn't have Internet.
Do you have a USB-C cable?
Isn't that one in your hand?
This a mini USB cable.
Those words mean nothing
to me. Juice?
Tomato? Ew, no.
Where's your bag?
You probably packed one
to charge something.
All I have is that brick
Claudette gave me.
Can we go get one, then?
To the electronics store?
I'd have to get the car,
and that's only for emergencies.
We can be quick.
No one will know.
Tali, in case
you haven't noticed,
we don't look related,
which makes us
very identifiable for CCTV,
so, no, we can't.
I don't have my iPad.
I can't go online or call
my friends or play my game.
What can I do?
Look around.
There must be something
that interests you.
[door opens]
Sophie, come outside. Quick.
SOPHIE:
What's wrong?
Bon anniversaire!
Oh, wow.
Thank you. Come.
Aw thank you so much.
Oh, look, look.
[gasps]
Watch out for the rabbit holes,
but
SOPHIE:
You made a cake? [chuckles]
I'm really touched.
Thank you. It's beautiful.
It's your birthday.
And you haven't heard
from your girlfriend.
I thought a cake would help.
You knew about me and Claudette?
Was it supposed to be a secret?
Um, well, not so much a secret
as much as we hadn't
really told your parents yet.
- [wasps buzzing]
- Oh, no, no, no!
Why are there so many?
There must be a nest somewhere.
Come, come.
Let's, uh, let's go inside.
Um, best to shut the windows.
Do you want to get that one?
Yeah.
♪
YOUNG TALI:
Oh!
- No. Do you see what you did?
- You have to go up.
- I can't go up. I can't go up.
- L
- Ooh!
- Left, left, left.
- TONY: Right, right, right.
- YOUNG TALI: Up, up, up.
TONY:
Ugh, I should've gone left.
[young Tali sighs]
TONY:
Remember Tetris?
We said no more screen time.
But it's vacation.
Well, the point of being here
is precisely that.
I know, but we are with family.
Dinner's ready in ten.
[sighs]
Is Imma mad?
Oh
What makes you think she's mad?
You yelled at her when you were mad.
Well, I wasn't really mad at her.
I was more
upset by the situation.
You know what your grandpa
told me once?
[sighs, chuckles]
He said,
"When life gets hard--
and it will get hard"
"you have to remember"
"'Ohana means family,
and family means"
BOTH:
"No one gets left behind."
Yes.
- One more game?
- YOUNG TALI: Sure.
TONY:
Okay. And I'll go left.
[conversation continues indistinctly]
ZIVA [over phone]:
We're so sorry you're stuck there.
We know how hard it's been.
This will be over very soon.
We will be back together, kiddo.
When?
Soon.
Wait. Where are you?
What are you doing?
Why does it look like
you're at a wedding?
- Uh
- It's a little complicated.
- It is, honey, we-- and we have to go.
- And really not what you think.
ZIVA: So we'll call you again
first chance we get, Tali.
Don't you worry about us.
We love you so much.
- But
- Love you.
- Okay?
- [sighs]
Hey. I was just
about to check on you.
How do you use
the washing machine?
Why do you need to use, um
Did you start?
[sighs]
You're really not a kid, are you?
I looked for pads,
but I couldn't find any.
Really? Um, surely your mum's
put some somewhere in the loo.
I looked.
Um, well, I have period pants.
Ew, no. I am not wearing
your underwear.
No. Of course not. I'm sorry.
I'll go to the shop.
What do you, uh Mm
Should I just get you
a whole bunch of stuff? Yeah.
Just put the sheets
in the basket,
and I'll deal with them later.
♪
[smart watch chimes]
- Feeling better?
- Much. Tampons save lives.
So you went with the tampons? Um
Did you have any trouble with them?
Because I did at your age,
so if you have any questions
- Ew, no. Stop talking.
- Okay.
Um, so you've, uh,
already had this conversation
with your mum?
Yes.
Okay.
Where did you get that book?
The house.
Think they were Mom's.
Interesting what people read
when they don't have Internet.
Suddenly see the problem
with telling you
to find ways to entertain yourself.
What's a "quivering bosom"?
I'll let your mum cover that.
Good chat.
[door opens]
[video game sound effects playing]
[door closes]
[vehicle approaching]
TALI:
There's a car coming.
I thought you said
no one knew about this place.
What? They shouldn't.
[car doors close]
[line rings]
Mom, Dad, there are strange men
at the house.
No, no, there's no time,
let's go.
- ZIVA: Anything faster?
- TONY: No.
Just stay on the Autobahn.
We'll be there
in just under three hours.
Claudette's headed their way, too.
Sophie knows what to do.
She'll keep her safe
until we get there.
ELIAS: Boss, checked every room.
No one's here.
But they were. And recently.
ALPHONSE: If they went out for supplies,
then they will be back.
[Cotillard speaks French]
GALIMARD:
Go outside, look around.
Maybe there's a bunker.
You okay?
You never liked him. Why?
Henry?
Never disliked him.
You did. Since the first time
you met him.
Was it because of Tali?
What about Tali?
They were close.
When she was seven.
No.
You would always remind her that
Henry wasn't really her uncle.
Once. I said that once.
Twice. At her birthday
and again at his own birthday.
I was jealous.
Okay? I was jealous, and I was mad.
You have this ability to trust
in a way that I can't,
and I guess I took it out on him.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I thought I was so careful.
About what?
When I went to the market.
I must have been caught on camera.
I don't know how else
they could have found us.
Tali, where did you get that?
It was my dad's.
He left it here.
This was Tony's?
But we don't have Internet,
so I never went online with it.
Except this is a cellular model.
So, as soon as it started charging,
it started pinging cell towers
with Tony's old number.
ELIAS [over monitor]:
Boss.
Found it on a shelf.
They're here.
There's a panic room.
Find it.
Look for cameras on the way in.
Inside and outside the house.
What are you doing?
I'm looking for a way
to get cell reception.
[sighs]
[speaks French]
[electric screwdriver whirs]
You'll never fit.
But I could.
[sighs]
SOPHIE:
Okay. Tali.
If you get reception
you call the police.
That's it.
Nothing dangerous, okay?
Yup.
Take this. [sighs]
Hey.
I was in the army, too.
Now I do shit like this
because my daughter
wants to be an Olympian.
Do you know how expensive
ice skating is?
Huh, do you know?
Oh, you don't care.
You don't care.
Like what?
All I see is a wasp nest.
A doonk-doonk.
Doonk-doonk?
[phone chiming]
[Alphonse speaking French]
[Alphonse yells in French]
[both speaking French]
[Alphonse groans]
What happened?
One of the goons,
he hurt himself.
No, no, I meant your arm.
Oh, the vent opened up
by the wasp tree.
I must have vibrated their nest,
crawling through it.
Ah!
[groans]
Did that ride in on me?
- My bag.
- What?
SOPHIE:
My epinephrine's on the table.
You mean, like, for allergies?
SOPHIE:
Yes.
[groans]
- [slams injector]
- [groans]
Oh, no. [groans]
- [slams injector]
- [groans]
Oh, God, okay.
- This is all my fault.
- No, it's not.
The wasps, my dad's watch.
I-I lied about my period.
- You what?!
- I'm sorry.
[sighing]
Tali, come here.
[clears throat]
Tali, this is not your fault.
You should be home,
getting your black belt
and watching K-pop videos
with your friends, not here.
What's gonna happen to you?
In a few minutes,
I'll have a difficult time breathing,
and then I'll go into something
called an anaphylactic shock.
And then what?
Before it gets to that,
I'm getting you out of here.
I should be able to distract them.
Once you're out,
I want you to run east,
away from the sun,
and you don't stop
until you get to the village.
But I don't want to leave you.
I promised your mother
I'd keep you safe.
And because your mum's
always prepared
[coughing]
we have options.
[coughs] Go.
[coughing]
What happened?
Where did you hear the phone?
[explosion in distance]
ELIAS: You think they called
for backup?
- Or it's a distraction.
- [Alphonse groaning]
Elias.
Stay here. He's useless.
[speaks French]
[door opens]
E-Elias, it's-it's-it's
very big.
- Shut the fuck up.
- [groans, speaks French]
Ah!
[muttering in French]

Go, go, go, go, go.
YOUNG TALI: "'Ohana means family,
and family means"
BOTH:
"No one gets left behind."
Yes.
Go, Tali, go.
ELIAS:
There's nothing upstairs.
Shit.
There was a noise.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
[coughing]
[labored breathing]
[Alphonse and Elias coughing]
[door slides closed]
[gasps]
[groans]
Are you okay?
[sighs]
Tali
I told you to go.
No one gets left behind.
[grunting]
Oh, come on.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
- [banging]
- Do you think they'll get through? To us?
No, no.
The door's metal
and several inches thick.
But, Tali, if anything happens,
I need you to find cover
and get down
and stay down, okay?
- He says it'll take over and hour.
- Oh, shit.
An hour? Are you kidding me?
We don't have time for this.
Fuck.
It has to open
from the outside somewhere.
Where did you hear that phone?
- [coughs]
- Come with me.
[gun clicks]
Why do you have so many guns?
I like to be prepared.
I thought you and Daddy
didn't chase bad guys anymore.
You're right.
We don't.
But they make me feel safe.
You know, um
Mommy had to learn to be tough
and fight at a very young age.
So it's hard for her to let it go.
In my experience, Tali,
nothing good comes from those.
I don't want you
growing up like I did.
You're smart.
You can get yourself out of anything
if you put your mind to it.
SOPHIE:
Tali?
Tali.
Could you get the oil
and the rag for me, please?
ZIVA: You're smart. You can get
yourself out of anything
if you put your mind to it.
Thank you.
Before you started
working for my parents,
you were MI5, right?
What's the difference?
6 are spies, 5 catch spies.
Why did you stop spying?
I hated it.
Hours are awful, pay's terrible,
and my colleagues were
all liars, professionally.
[speaking French]
[metal clangs]
TALI: Why are they all just
standing there?
They're not.
One's missing.
[metal scraping]
Tear gas. Don't breathe.

[all coughing]
SOPHIE:
Let's go.
GALIMARD:
Shoot her!

You're lucky I need you alive.
TALI: You're lucky
I'm still a red belt.

Scoot over.
Let's go.

Do not move, okay?

Okay.

Sophie! Sophie!
Are you okay?

Where's Tali?
She's safe for now.
Where did you come from?
- Did I shoot him?
- No, no.
- I handled him.
- Did I shoot you?
No, no, no, no.
It's okay, it's okay.
It's okay.
That's a relief.
That would have been really traumatic.
Are you okay?
Sophie!
- What?

Tali!
[gasps]
TALI:
Daddy.
ZIVA:
Let me see you.
It's okay.
- It's okay.
- We're here now. We got you.
It's okay, honey.
♪
This is not the kind of life I
we wanted you to have.
Tali?
Your mom and I
we have to make sure
that nothing like this
ever happens to you again.
Do you understand that?
You're going to send me
away again, aren't you?
It'll just be a couple weeks.
What? Can't Uncle Henry help you?
[sighs]
I want to stay here. With you.
It's too dangerous.
I know what tear gas tastes like.
You sent me away,
and they found me.
What if they find me again?
Sophie and I were okay this time,
but you won't be there.
Love, can you give, um
Abba and I just a couple of minutes?
[sighs]
Yeah? Thank you.
I think she'd be safer with us.
No one's safe with us.
ZIVA: Do you want to tell her
about Henry?
TONY:
I can't.
SOPHIE:
How'd it go?
I told them we should stay,
but I'm not sure
they took me seriously.
With what you just went through,
I'm sure they did.
As much as we hate to admit it,
it's clear that you're growing up.
Especially when you're so good
at lying about your period.
You thought I was gonna
forget that, didn't you?
I mean, there's a lot going on.
Well, considering
you saved my life yesterday,
I think we can let this one slide.
REPORTER [over TV]: Reigning Fire
Peacekeeping Solutions recovers
an experimental drone originally
thought to have been destroyed
in a factory fire in France.
- They found the drone?
- No, no, no, no.
They didn't find it.
It flew back to them.
Without blowing anything up?
That sounds anticlimactic.
You're missing the point.
This
is the most audacious
Trojan horse of all time.
To run a diagnostic,
they had to plug
Plug it in!
[laughs]
Such idiots!
Consider me one.
Can you unpack that for me?
Classic hacker trick.
Hacker drops a thumb drive
into a car park,
random employee picks it up,
plugs it in to see what's on it,
- and then
- BORIS: impregnates the system with malware.
So now 9.4
- And Jonah.
- may have access to their system.
So why would Jonah want to get
his hands on Reigning Fire?
I think it has to do
with Aaron Graves.
- [typing]
- I had a theory after 9.4
hacked the Haydon3 chip in Boris's car,
but it wasn't until you both
told us that Jonah
left the prison with Lazar
that I was certain.
Dejan fucking Lazar!
[laughs]
[sighs]
He is the GOAT-iest
of all GOAT hackers.
Black hat. In the '90s,
he stole $15 million from
- three different corporate bank accounts.
- On a dial-up connection.
The biggest cyber heist in history.
"History" being the '90s.
The hospital, the chip,
Reigning Fire, Lazar,
it all connects back to Aaron Graves.
So why would Jonah Markham
want to take down
one of the most dangerous men
in the world?
That we don't know.
Well, then, it seems like
our next step is to find out.
♪
What's this?
An apology.
I know how much you loved that bag.
[laughs]
How were things back at the office?
President Talabi was upset about Henry.
I have to submit a written
statement about what happened.
Well, she's covering her ass.
She's got a dead agent
and no one in custody to pin it on.
When we're done with Graves,
we'll make sure she has
DiNozzo and David.
How's Lazar?
Less talkative than he was in prison.
I warned you,
people don't like being lied to.
Felons don't talk to Interpol agents.
- I didn't have a choice.
- [phone vibrating]
Speak of the devil.
Talabi's calling.
I should take this.
- Yes?
- ALPHONSE: You should have warned us.
That girl is clever.
Where's Galimard?
Dead.
And the girl?
Gone. Her parents came for her.
Well, thank you, ma'am,
but I assure you, I'm ready.
Ma'am? I'm not a ma'am.
Yes, yes, I look forward
to seeing you as well.
What-what are you
But what about my payment?
MARTINE:
Is there a problem?
You know, it might be smarter
to refocus her attentions
on DiNozzo and David.
While emotions are still high,
she might even be helpful.
[speaks French]
What happened to Uncle Henry?
What makes you think
something happened to Henry?
I heard Mom say something happened.
How bad was it?
[laughs softly]
Your Uncle Henry
he died yesterday.
How?
He was helping us.
[sighs]
Very heroic.
I know this is hard for you to hear.
You just have to know that
when someone dies
that you care about,
it's difficult and
Dad, are you okay?
[grunts softly, sniffles]
Hey.
Hi.
- [inhales sharply]
- Tony?
[sighs]
Tali.
We almost lost her.
[chuckles]
[crying]
Henry
- Where are you going?
- Paris.
Where are you guys gonna stay?
- Hello.
- You must be Archie.
Okay.
Lazar's at the window.
- Hello.
- Jonah Markham, Interpol.
You never updated me on how things
are with you and Tony.
We talked.
I think there's something here.
