I wanted to have it in me to lead,

Instead of letters, we sent recordings back and forth

48 years, Agent Gibbs.
 Recap of NCIS Season 16 Episode 5 (S16E05) - 4
Yes, because now that I understand the mechanics,

a Marine under his command.
 Recap of NCIS Season 16 Episode 5 (S16E05) - 6
Ray Jennings pled guilty, so even without the reports,
 Recap of NCIS Season 16 Episode 5 (S16E05) - 7
the protests going on at home.
 Recap of NCIS Season 16 Episode 5 (S16E05) - 8
Yeah, he's the only one that laughs
 Recap of NCIS Season 16 Episode 5 (S16E05) - 9
but he was also doing it to hone his craft.
 Recap of NCIS Season 16 Episode 5 (S16E05) - 10
I'm telling you, Gibbs.
 Recap of NCIS Season 16 Episode 5 (S16E05) - 11
you're wasting your time.
 Recap of NCIS Season 16 Episode 5 (S16E05) - 12
I mean, do we even have cause to investigate?
 Recap of NCIS Season 16 Episode 5 (S16E05) - 13
Yeah, I know. I read it in your request,

things were different.
 Recap of NCIS Season 16 Episode 5 (S16E05) - 17
I couldn't tell what the hell they were talking about.
 Recap of NCIS Season 16 Episode 5 (S16E05) - 18
I thought Ray Jennings confessed.
 Recap of NCIS Season 16 Episode 5 (S16E05) - 19
Oy.
 Recap of NCIS Season 16 Episode 5 (S16E05) - 20
He was stressed... You heard him...
 Recap of NCIS Season 16 Episode 5 (S16E05) - 21
when he threw it, then ran outside, like Fletcher said.
 Recap of NCIS Season 16 Episode 5 (S16E05) - 22
Excuse me?

"All alone and free in the soft sands of the beach."

You owe it to him to be straight with us.

Why?
 Recap of NCIS Season 16 Episode 5 (S16E05) - 26
- I'm aware of that. - No, Leon.
 Recap of NCIS Season 16 Episode 5 (S16E05) - 27
You'll find that quite a bit has changed
 Recap of NCIS Season 16 Episode 5 (S16E05) - 28
but in between you and them is the reflection.
 Recap of NCIS Season 16 Episode 5 (S16E05) - 29
Okay, well, I have pulled several grenade fragments
 Recap of NCIS Season 16 Episode 5 (S16E05) - 30
Actually, Gibbs is already on his way down.
 Recap of NCIS Season 16 Episode 5 (S16E05) - 31
- What kind of plate? - It's brass.
 Recap of NCIS Season 16 Episode 5 (S16E05) - 32
found out that Danny was going overseas,
 Recap of NCIS Season 16 Episode 5 (S16E05) - 33
just seemed like everywhere you looked, there was hate.
 Recap of NCIS Season 16 Episode 5 (S16E05) - 34
He didn't say "in my heart," like most people would say.

Pushing Ray might get us

retired Master Sergeant Thomas Fletcher.
 Recap of NCIS Season 16 Episode 5 (S16E05) - 44
You wore the uniform for 30 years, isn't that right, Tom?
 Recap of NCIS Season 16 Episode 5 (S16E05) - 45
So I decided to get on with my task at hand
 Recap of NCIS Season 16 Episode 5 (S16E05) - 46
You knew all along it was a suicide.
 Recap of NCIS Season 16 Episode 5 (S16E05) - 47
Couldn't prove anything.
