Quotes
-
Wynn Crawford : I was an Undersecretary back in 2002. Office of Finance. I opened that account in connection with several national security operations.
Leon Vance : Off the books?
Wynn Crawford : Post-9/11, things moved fast. Bookkeeping was not at the top of our list of priorities. That account got lost in the shuffle.
Leon Vance : Hundreds of millions?
Wynn Crawford : It's D.C., Leon.
-
Leon Vance : Sir, you have DOD, FBI, and a whole host of federal acronyms at your disposal. Why come to us?
Wynn Crawford : Well... last time our paths crossed, I didn't like you peeking under my hood. So I decided to take a peek under yours.
Leon Vance : Did you find what you were looking for?
Wynn Crawford : What I found was even worse than dirt. You really are a good man who runs a tight ship. You both.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Last man who said that is dead.
Wynn Crawford : Yeah, well, I don't know anything about Clark's death. But I'm offering you everything I have.
[opening a folder]
Wynn Crawford : The offshore account records you've been looking for. All of 'em. Now it's your turn.
-
Wynn Crawford : Can you tell me who's been using this account?
Leon Vance : Not yet.
Wynn Crawford : But you do know what they've been using it for.
[noticing their reluctance to elaborate]
Wynn Crawford : Gentlemen, trust is a two-way street.
Leon Vance : Yes, sir. And we'll let you know as soon as we have more.
-
Wynn Crawford : Mallory came to me and told me that Clark had been nosing around my old account.
Leon Vance : Out of the goodness of her heart, I'm sure.
Wynn Crawford : She'd been demoted and needed some new friends in high places, and I wanted to know what Clark was up to. So I asked her to find out.
Leon Vance : At all costs?
Wynn Crawford : No. I never asked her to kill Clark. And when I found out she had, I came to you.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Yeah, and you lied.
Wynn Crawford : I withheld, because it looked bad.
Leon Vance : Still does.
-
Leon Vance : Where's Mallory now?
Wynn Crawford : I have no idea. I gave her the account records, told her to keep digging, and then nothing. She must have found something more valuable than friends in high places.
Leon Vance : Such as?
Wynn Crawford : You tell me. I was hoping NCIS had something in the works.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : [his phone rings] Yeah, Kase. I'm on my way down.
Wynn Crawford : What's that?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : [leaving] Something in the works.
-
Leon Vance : Your challenge coin.
Wynn Crawford : I had new ones made up when I was appointed for the job five years ago.
Leon Vance : Highest rank gets free drinks at the bar. There's only one coin higher than this.
Wynn Crawford : Supposed to give 'em out as a sign of respect and admiration. This is my first.
Leon Vance : I don't know what to say.
Wynn Crawford : You tracked the missing funds to Judge Deakin. Meaning NCIS has officially saved my ass, again.
Leon Vance : We just did our job, sir.
Wynn Crawford : Anything you need, Leon, you call me.
Leon Vance : Sir, I...
Wynn Crawford : Leon. Anything.
-
Wynn Crawford : Somebody has been accessing an old offshore account in my name. I have no idea who, or why. Which is why I'm here. Sunlight in the best disinfectant, boys. So, you got questions, ask away.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : The account. What is it?
Wynn Crawford : Take a look.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Asked you, Mr. Secretary.
-
Wynn Crawford : What's this?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Phone records.
Leon Vance : Do you recognize your number? It seems that you and CIA officer Mallory Madden have been awfully chatty. A fact that you both have failed to mention.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : About that two-way street...
