00:00Madam Secretary, how can Solace Mondial help the U.S. Navy?
00:06Well, from the sound of things, you're the one that needs the help.
00:11Well, we're calling it a growth period.
00:15I came to say thank you.
00:18Wrong office. Thank Parker and his team, assuming it's still his team.
00:24It is. I made sure of that.
00:27Then I guess it's a happy ending.
00:28One that almost didn't happen.
00:31Turns out I put the wrong person in the director's chair.
00:35I shouldn't have let my first choice say no.
00:40The timing was complicated.
00:43Yes, that was the excuse you gave for turning me down.
00:46Complicated.
00:50This case made things simple.
00:53The director of NCIS has to be willing to listen, to challenge assumptions.
01:02Gabrielle LaRoche is not that man.
01:04You are.
01:07But nothing's changed.
01:09Tali is...
01:10Is a two-hour flight away.
01:13And the only reason why you're trying to open an office in D.C.
01:19Well, there's Ziva.
01:20I mean, I would have to talk to her and...
01:22I don't have good authority.
01:23She told you to take the job the first time I asked.
01:26You two have already spoken.
01:28I guess when you look at it, it's not really that complicated.
01:35Your country needs you.
01:39How long do I have to decide?
01:41You don't.
01:42The press release went out an hour ago.
01:46See you Monday, Director D'Anozzo.
01:52You, you can't.
01:55Wait.
01:57What?
