NCIS Fan Script (Hidden Treasure)

I’m not very good at writing.  So this will be another cliff note version of my fan made version of a NCIS episode.

The story begins from a look around an apartment.  As the sounds of people fighting are heard followed by gun shots being fired leads to the front door being kicked opened. The fighting continues inside as they each try to kill the other person. The phone begins to ring as one of the attackers grabs a gun that had earlier fallen on the floor and shots the other.

As the first man falls followed by the other, the sound of McGee’s voice is heard on the answering machine as it becomes evident that the apartment in question is that of Tony DiNozzo’s. McGee is sounding annoyed in wondering if Tony is coming in to work today. The scene finishes with the image of two people lay face down on the floor.

Cue music

At NCIS McGee is still leaving a message on Tony’s answering machine as Gibbs enters to tell McGee that Tony has been with other officials in a secure meeting in the Directors office since early morning. A little office banner goes on between McGee and Ziva about what is going on with Tony this time as Gibbs brushes it off as a review from an earlier case.

Inside the Directors office Tony is being asked to go undercover again. Much like when he went undercover by dating Jeanne who is the daughter of an arms dealer La Grenouile. This time he is to simply take a night class and monitor a suspect. Tony is showing a little reluctance but takes the assignment. He is extremely happy to find out that it’s a film class but is taken aback to find out that the suspect is a woman 15 years older than him and the same next door neighbor who slept with his father on his own bed.

In the squad room Gibbs gets the usual phone call announcing a call out for an NCIS agent. But when Gibbs gets the address, he double checks it again. He calls the Directors secretary and leaves a massage for Tony. As Gibbs and team leave, Tim and Ziva find out that they are going to Tony’s apartment. Making their way towards the elevator they both seem excited as they've never been to Tony’s place. McGee makes a comment about this being virgin territory as he’s looking towards Ziva who can’t figure out how to address his statement. Gibbs hitting the elevator button with a raised eyebrow while trying to keep a straight face.

At Tony’s apartment, the team is met by the building manager and the police. Other tenants noticed the commotion and called the police. The team notices that the attack originated next door. Gibbs and Tim enter Tony’s Apartment and begin to work on dealing with the two people lying dead on the floor. Ziva goes inside the neighbor’s apartment to see the place is completely trashed. One room looks more like an observation room. Files, blueprints and machines all strode onto the floor reveal that the person(s) living here was watching Tony.

After a while Ziva joins Gibbs and Tim to inform them on what she has found. Afterwards Gibbs gets a call from Tony saying he’ll be there in ten minutes. Ducky and Palmer show up as both Tim and Ziva appear to want approval from Gibbs that they would like a look around of Tony’s apartment. Reluctantly he gives them 5 minutes and to be quick about it.

Like kids in a candy store they quickly look around but stop once they see his bedroom; the same small bed. But once inside the sound of Ziva’s voice could easily be heard as she declared that she was going to kill Tony. Gibbs rushes in to see what is wrong and notices that Tony has hung on his wall two large pictures; one of Kate winning the wet t-shirt contest and the other one of Ziva in a bikini.

After a good look, they all go back into the livingroom where Ducky informs them of his findings. They were both shot but continued to fight on till they both simply bled to death from their wounds. By now Tony is showing up as Ziva looks to kill him on the spot. As Gibbs breaks up their discussion, Tim quickly fills in Ducky and Palmer on what is happening.  Palmer wants to go see but Ducky holds him back saying that works comes first. Plus Ziva might kill him.

They get the bodies ready for transport as Tony tells Gibbs what he knows about his next door neighbor. In her mid-50’s and always ready for a good time; even commenting that it was her that his father had sex with in his bedroom. She’s always trying to spend time with him to the point of creepiness. Tony then learns that she may have been a stalker just by the way she had been tracking his every move.

As Ziva and Tim go to the other apartment to collect all the evidence, Ducky and Palmer take a quick look in Tony’s bedroom as Gibbs catches them acting like teens going through puberty. Back at NCIS Ziva isn’t speaking to Tony. In Abby’s lab, they find out that the dead guys have been listening in to Tony’s phone conversations with an audio and video feed as well for what appears to have been going on for about a week now.

Because it’s Tony’s apartment, Tim and Ziva go back over to look for bugs and anything out of the ordinary. Tony starts looking for any info about the people who live there as well as trying to find a place to stay until the case is over and he can move back in. Gibbs ends that problem by having Tony stay at his place. The reason being is that this could have been a recon job to go after Tony so Tony must stay in protective custody. Tony states that he has to see the Director as it is related to the meeting in his office earlier that morning. Before Gibbs could say anything the Director is there and ready to inform Gibbs in his office about it.

In the Directors office, Gibbs is informed that one of the persons lying in autopsy is Jonathan Price. He is the nephew of Ms. Vivian Stance. Ms. Stance was part of Tony’s operation to shadow him. He was recently paroled in relations to stealing millions from a Navy Federal Credit Union, as the money was never recovered. With nothing solid to link him and his partner to the theft, they were both tried on lesser charges. 

With Tony watching her as he took night classes maybe they could get a lead on Mr. Price and the money.

Back at Tony’s apartment, Ziva is still upset that Tony still had those pictures of her. Tim tries to stay on her good side as both look throughout Tony’s place for bugs.  And they find lots of them in the ventilation system and many other areas of the apartment. They find so many bugs in that it was impossible not to hear anything going on in Tony’s apartment.

In Abby’s lab there is a small machine that Abby figures out is an experimental x-ray machine. Tony joins Gibbs and Abby stating it’s just like from the second Batman movie with Christian Bale where all the cell phones were used as a mapping system to find the Joker. Abby agrees as they both talk about the movie as Gibbs breaks up there conversation to find out what their talking about.

Small devises planted throughout the apartment, all emitting a signal. The machine picks up those signals and gives out an entire x-ray picture of the whole apartment. Tony informs them that before he moved into that apartment, the building had just been through a major remodeling job. They guess that Jonathan Price must have hid the money on that floor during the remodel. And by the looks of the evidence, that money is somewhere in Tony’s apartment.

Tony’s reluctant in having his whole apartment destroyed looking for the money but he has no choice on it. The team shows up with lots of equipment to begin their search. By then Ms. Vivian Stance shows up. She looks really scared but she surrenders to the team. As Tony and Ziva continue to look throughout Tony’s apartment for the money, Gibbs and Tim take her back to NCIS for interrogation.

As they are driving back they learn that Jonathan Price is indeed her nephew. And the other man who died was Brian Dane, his partner. As the building was being remodeled, she was set up to move into one of the apartments. When they robbed the bank, they hid the money in the wrong area of the floor. Once they got out of jail they began looking into the buildings blue prints before they narrowed their search down to Tony’s apartment.

Brian Dane was getting impatient and wanted to kill Tony so they could quickly get the money. But she was against it for she was still in love with Tony’s father. She starts blushing saying that for a man of his age, he still knew how to please a woman. She wouldn’t let Brian do it but when he struck her, Jonathan rushed in to basically defend his aunt’s honor. The fight went into Tony’s apartment because Brian thought that Tony was there. He wasn’t because of an early meeting with the director. She states that she ran because she was afraid.

Abby calls Gibbs to inform him that Brian Dane’s step-father is the building manager where Tony lives at. Gibbs confronts Ms. Stance with this new evidence saying that she was forced to be a distraction to get as many people away from the apartment so he could get the money before it was discovered.

Tim states the obvious saying that two guys rob a Navy bank and hide it in a building being remodeled. The apartment with the money gets rented to the aunt of one of the members as they sit back and wait till the heat is off and collects the money later. But because of the construction they planted the money in the wrong area and had to search and locate it first. Tim also begins to call Tony and Ziva.

Back at Tony’s apartment, Ziva is still boiling mad at Tony so they both search in separate rooms. They begin talking to each other as Tony tries to explain why he still has those pictures but Ziva doesn’t buy his explanation. She notices a small compartment in the closet. Upon looking inside she finds an album. She notices that it’s a collection of newspapers clippings relating to Agent Todd and Jenny Shepard. She sees on the first page that Tony had written a message; ‘Two great people who died on my watch.’

She places the album back where she found it. All her anger towards Tony is gone as she understands why Tony still has that picture of her. By then Tony calls Ziva to say that he has found something. Under the kitchen sink area is the money. They break open the floor and pull out the money. By now both Tony and Ziva’s phone begins ringing but a man standing behind them has other plans.

As Gibbs and Tim are racing back through traffic to Tony’s apartment, the apartment manager has his gun trained on Tony and Ziva. He now has the money and is prepared to kill them both to eliminate any witnesses including Ms. Stance. Without weapons or backup, it looks like this is it for them. Tony, still looking at the gunman, tells Ziva to get ready. By the time she asked for what, Tony charges towards the gunman as he fires his gun.

As Gibbs and Tim show up, they see the gunman is unconscious due in part to Tony’s diversion for Ziva to knock him out.  But they also see Tony is in pain from being shot in the arm. Ziva has already called the paramedics. Tim tells Tony that there is a finder’s fee for finding the money. Tony shoots back saying, “Great, just enough to fix up the place; again.”

At the hospital, Ziva tells Tony that she found the album dedicated to Todd and Shepard. That she understood that those pictures hanging in his bedroom was a reminder of his failures. Tony being Tony lets it be known that he also has a bath and towel set with their picture on it as well. The scene ends with Ziva’s turning her back towards Tony as she is then seen picking up a surgical knife.
