In 2023, Lucas Devereaux begins his first day at NCIS in New York City. How could he have guessed that his first day is so closely linked to that fateful night at the FBI Academy.

The World Trade Center on a New York poster

The Poster

(illuminated by the first rays of the sun of the day.)

A shrill Clock Radio

(sounds.)

A young Lady

(leans up under her comforter, yawns. She looks at another woman sleeping on the opposite bed in the room. A few minutes later she's dressed in a white "FBI" t-shirt and pair of sweatpants and sneakers. She pulls on a red pair fleece jacket. She takes her Walkman and walks out the door.)

Anohther Woman

(coming out of the shower to meet her.)

Hi Janice!

Janice

(is the woman with the jogging outfit and the Walkman.)

Leyla! Another early riser.

Leyla

(is the Woman who came out of the shower room.)

Yes, i was in the Navy. Something like is quickly become standard.

Janice

(walks past Leyla.)

The early Bird and such.

Leyla

(calls after Janice.)

Hey!

Janice

(just about to put on a pair of headphones. She looks back at Leyla.)

Leyla

(points her finger.)

If i say I was in the Navy, you should tell me where you’re from.

Janice

(Puts her headphones on her neck, thinks about an answer for a second. She also points her finger at Leyla, grinning.)

Yes, you must hear the story.

(She puts the headphones on her ears and jogs toward the big door at the end of the hall. As she jogs, she presses play. She hears Cher's "Turn Back Time" as she jogs.)

Welcome to the FBI's Training Academy at Quantico. It is May 11th, 2001.

(She walks out the door, jogging towards the sunrise. About an hour later, she walks back towards the main building of the training academy.)

(She enters a hallway and sees the other students, in front of her, hurrying toward the auditorium. She sees her roommate, Alice, fraying her hair with a hairbrush as she walks.)

Alice!

(Sie runs towards Alice.)

Alice

(looks at Janice while fraying her hair.)

The day starts off stressful, sweetie.

A young man

(slaps Janice’s shoulder.)

Serious? They pick us up at 6:00 a.m. and you change into jogging clothes?

Janice

(looks at the young man.)

I was out at 5:00 am.

The young man

(continues, but turns back to Janice.)

Showing off is punished here. You know that.

Alice

(poisens after the man.)

Fuck off, Jakob!

Janice und Alice

(enter the Auditorium. They deliberately move to the back in the last row.)

Janice

(tries to look over the heads of the others.)

Alice

(stands questioningly next to Janice. She looks at Janice in bewilderment.)

What's that supposed to be?

Janice

(assumes normal posture without answering.)

Jakob

(stands across the room. He looks at Janice und laughs.)

Janice

(leans to Alice while whispering.)

Alice

(interrupts Janice before Janice can start whispering)

He is an Asshole an we hate him.

Janice

(looks over Jakob. She whispers to Alice.)

Ok, but he’s hot.

Alice

Hot but Asshole. God is really an Ass.

Janice

(smiles. She rubs Alice’s arm.)

I love you!

A man

(stands at he lectern of the auditorium.)

Good morning! As you all know, her diploma is approaching and with it the end of your training at this academy. The Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Deputy Director all signed your diplomas.

(He walks past the students.)

That means the director doesn't want to keep or shred any of those diplomas.

To take away the stress of the next few days, an exercise will take place tonight and the night after.

6 teams of 4 people per night. On the second night there will be two teams of 5 people. One team arrests the other team. For standoffs, they get "non-lethal" special weapons.

(He laughs.)

In other words, you can shoot each other, if necessary.

(He leaves the Desk.)

Please don't let this become a habit.

Janice

(gets two slips of paper with her name on them.)

The man

(looks at his students.)

The team leaders are getting slips of paper on which their team and the rules are written. The 12 team leaders recruit their team and prepare for the night.

Chapter 3 It’s 2023

A blast

(sounds.)

Janice

(wakes up from her sleep startled. She gets out of bed, gets dressed and goes down the stairs of her house.)

A Girl

(sits, on a couch, at a PS5 and has the headphones on, and steers a character on a flat screen TV.)

Do you need another morning coffee?

Janice

(stands behind the couch, by the stairs.)

I take one.

The Girl

(holds her hand on the headset and looks at Janice with a smile. She looks back at the video game on the TV)

We're going to do it all over again now. But this time please...

(She gets loud.)

…with a little concentration.

(She listens under the headphones, holds her hand to the ear cup and gets angry and looks up.)

If you don't feel like it, just log out. As long as you're in the game, you do what I say.

(She waits a moment.)

Hello… Hello…

(And he’s gone.)

Okay guys! We'll continue later. I woke my mum up.

(She smiles.)

Thank you very much. Steve, have a nice day at work.

(She is still on air.)

I’m holidays. But thanks.

Janice

(looks questioningly.)

You have holidays?

The girl

(looks at her mother.)

Already since Tuesday.

Janice

(pours orange juice into a glass.)

I don’t even know if you said that to me or to Steve.

(She knocks on the table.)

Nicole!

Nicole

(is Janice's 10 year old daughter. She takes off the headphones and gets up from the couch.)

Sorry mom.

(She sits at the kitchen table and grabs the glass of orange juice. She watches Janice take the toast from the cupboard.)

I've already made myself some toast.

Janice

(laughs.)

Really?

(She looks at the tomatoes.)

And how many tomato slices were on the toast?

Nicole

(points to the tomatoes and is about to explain herself.)

Janice

You slapped peanut butter on it.

(She has two pieces of toast and cheese and tomato slices. She sees that Nicole wants to explain further.)

Any statement can be used against you.

Nicole

(waits a few seconds until Janice is silent.)

It was a Nutella M&M Bread.

(She raises her finger.)

Jonas, so the bum I just…

Janice

…whom you were yelling at?

Nicole

(shakes, nods, shakes her head.)

He lives in Hawaii and can't start until 10 p.m. And 10 o'clock in the evening there...

Janice

(pushes the cheese and tomato toast over to Nicole.)

… are here at 4 a.m. I know. I also know people in Hawaii.

(She bites into her own toast and looks at the TV.)

You are Teamleader?

Nicole

(points the finger at Janice.)

Just like my mom.

Janice

(smiles. Her smile fades. She remembers the two pieces of paper, the four names and...)

Nicole

(interrupts.)

mom!

Janice

(smiles again at Nicole.)

Nicole

If your mind is already on the job, your body should dually follow.

Janice

(laughs.)

I just remembered something.

(She pushes the orange juice glass towards Nicole.)

The rest on Ex, please!

(She sees Nicole pick up the glass and hits the OJ glass with her coffee cup.)

Druzhba!

Chapter 4 Today comes the new one

Army – Navy Building New York City

A car

(Pulls into an underground parking lot. It pulls through to the back, past lots of empty spaces. It parks by a sign with the NCIS logo and the name "Janice Watts.")

Janice

(gets out of the car and approaches a man holding 6 cups of coffee.)

Agent Griffin! A goody mornin!

(She takes a cup of coffee from the six.)

Griffin

(continues to walk, grinning.)

My last day as a coffee man. Just take one.

Janice

(raises her finger.)

It shouldn't be the first thing the newcomer should learn.

Griffin

(raises his hand and then opens the door.)

I'm taking it easy. Somewhere at the coffee machine he finds out that he will be getting coffee for at least the next 4 years.

Janice

(shuts the door briefly.)

Ok, I called him in 30 minutes earlier than usual. He might be right behind that door.

(She opens the door very carefully. She sees the lobby of the Army-Navy Building. She closes the door again.)

His name is Lucas Devereaux, 38 years old, comes from the Coast Guard and they hired him as a lifeguard.

Griffin

(raises his head.)

Ok! No Baywatch Hasselhoff jokes.

Janice

(opens the door.)

A man

(stands just behind the door.)

Hi

Janice

(smiles and gives the corona fist.)

Mr Devereaux! Glad you were able to set it up.

(She takes her finger out.)

You're not even wearing the red shorts and whistle we sent you..

(She points to Griffin.)

This is Agent Clark Griffin.

Griffin

(also gives Devereaux the Corona Fist.)

I am glad to meet you. Do you have the requested Hasselhoff autograph with you?

A woman

(intercepts Janice, Griffin und Devereaux.)

Is he the new guy?

Griffin

(points at the woman.)

This is Agent Cassandra Knight. Her swimming lessons start at 11.

Janice

(pats Knight on the shoulder.)

The first hour please with water wings.

Agent Cassandra Knight

(looks surprised.)

Did I miss something?

Devereaux

(looks at Knight with a smile)

I was a lifeguard and after that I was with the New York Coast Guard for 11 years.

(He holds his Hand to Knight.)

Lucas Devereaux!

Janice

(takes Lucas’s hand down.)

We don’t shake hands with anyone.

(Sie starts walking.)

On the one hand because of Corona, on the other hand because of there are many people who like to kill NCIS investigators with contact poison.

Devereaux

I know you’re picking me up right now, but…

Knight

(shakes her head.)

No! That with the poison already existed.

Janice

(walks up a large staircase. Some people come towards her. More people walk around her, up the stairs. She opens another door to a long hallway with many people.)

You'll have a look around first. Familiarize yourself with a few colleagues. In about an hour...

Another man

(interrupts Janice.)

...we are in a pizzeria in Stuyvesant Town. An hour is a tight window of time. We'll have to shoot our way through.

Janice

(Looks at the morning-faced man.)

Uno cuerpo muerto?

The another man

(takes Devereaux's hand and shakes it.)

Agent Mike Armstrong!

Devereaux

(looks at his hand.)

I thought we shouldn’t…

Knight

(points to Devereaux’s hand.)

Now you definitely have some shit on your fingers.

Devereaux

(still looking at his hand.)

Should I maybe…

Armstrong

(leads Devereaux to the door.)

There is disinfectant in the car.

Knight

(takes Devereaux's hand and smells it.)

Oh God! We should see if we have turpentine in the car.

Armstrong

(points to Knight.)

This is what your mum's pussy smells like.

Knight

(looks at Armstrong.)
