00:00Damn. Every single case is exactly four pages.

00:04This man was organized.

00:06That's what Jimmy said.

00:07You know Ducky didn't even have a junk drawer in his house?

00:10Who doesn't have a junk drawer?

00:12LBA confirms it.

00:14Zawadzki was dishonorably discharged after his death in 2013 for desertion.

00:20So, my councilman buddy has that part right, at least.

00:24Yeah, and as far as the junkie part, that's on a big stretch, considering where Zawadzki's body was found.

00:29So, all we have to go on is Ducky's teeny tiny words.

00:33Yeah, I'm not finding a single word about the Zawadzki case.

00:36That's because it wasn't our team's case.

00:38It took me a while to realize it, but these are all of Dr. Mallard's greatest hits from our team.

00:42So, only our stories are included.

00:44Yeah, I'm not so sure about greatest hits, Jimmy.

00:47I'm looking at Ducky's last entry right before he died here and just scribbled a note to himself.

00:52Palmer will be here in the AM.

00:54Our answer lies with the team, however cluttered it might be.

00:58So, he's saying that we have the answer?

01:00But what did he mean by cluttered?

01:02Yeah, it's an odd choice of words.

01:04Yeah, you can call our team a lot of things, but cluttered is not one of them.

01:07Well, he did write it in his last hours.

01:09Did we ever get a hold of Zawadzki's old platoon mates?

01:12Yeah, Torres and I talked to a few of them.

01:14He said he was a great man, an even better Marine.

01:16And not one of them recall him having a drug problem.

01:19Some addicts are real good at hiding it, but I don't know, how did he keep it from his closest friends?

01:24Yeah, it doesn't seem likely.

01:26Neither does this.

01:28You got some?

01:29Well, how was Ducky friends with Gibbs for 20 years and yet he didn't know about his family?

01:34Ducky wrote about them?

01:36The night you retired, you asked me to drive you home.

01:40You didn't say a single word the entire trip.

01:43No explanation, not even a goodbye.

01:48And Kelly and Shannon?

01:51All those years of friendship together and somehow you fail to mention that you have a family.

01:57I had.

01:59Had a family.

02:05You know how I feel about apologies, right?

02:07No, they're a sign of weakness.

02:09Not between friends.

02:12I am sorry, Ducky.

02:15I should have told you.

02:17That's it. That's what we need.

02:20What do we need?

02:21It's Watsky's best friend. We need to find his Ducky to get some answers.

02:28Agent McGee.

02:30Yeah, send her up.

02:32Serena, she's asking for us.

02:34Kid's tenacious, I'll give her that.

02:37I just wish we had more to tell her.

02:44You
