Jimmy Urges McGee to Embrace His Temporary Power on NCIS

FanReviews

With Vance away, Jimmy encourages McGee to enjoy his role as acting NCIS Director—long lunches, giving orders, and all. But behind the jokes, McGee is quietly dreading the responsibility in this scene from NCIS Season 20, Episode 5. Watch new episodes on CBS and stream on Paramount+.

00:01Hey, Jimmy.

00:02McGee, good to see you changed your clothes.

00:04Yeah, well, I managed to pop home for an hour.

00:06Couldn't keep working in my sweats, you know?

00:08Yeah, especially now that you're acting NCIS director.

00:11I read the memo. Congratulations.

00:13That's just until Vance gets back.

00:15You don't sound too thrilled.

00:17To be honest with you, I'm kind of dreading it.

00:20I'm a field agent.

00:21I don't want to be stuck behind a desk dealing with politicians.

00:23I'm going to try to enjoy this, you know.

00:25Embrace your newfound power.

00:26You go on longer lunch breaks, use the private bathroom.

00:29Maybe boss some people around.

00:31Okay, how about I start with asking you for an update?

00:34Not exactly bossy, but we'll work on it.

00:37Okay, uh, no big mystery as to how our victim died.

00:40This is what you get if you mess with the director,

00:42a former boxing champ.

00:44Yeah, remind me never to get on Vance's bad side.

00:46Anything so far as to who our victim may be?

00:49Possibly.

00:50He's had hair plugs installed into his hairline.

00:53They're, uh, synthetic plastic plugs,

00:56which have been banned in the United States for decades.

00:58But they're apparently still quite popular in Eastern Europe,

01:00which is possibly where he's from.

01:05Well, Knight found the robber's van.

01:07Abandoned in a DC motel parking lot,

01:09we are bringing in the motel owner now.

01:11Go get him, director.

01:13Go get.

01:14No.

01:15No.

01:16No.

01:18No.

01:19No.

01:20No, no.

01:21No.

01:22No.

01:23No.
