However, the opening as per the title suggests, is actually an undercover assignment. Tony and Ziva have to pretend to be an assassin husband/wife team, because the real assassins are dead. They died in a car accident, using fake passports when Marine CID found them, and heading for the annual Marine Corp Birthday. (This is how and why NCIS got the case.) The team has no idea what to do, and need Ducky to give some Intel on the assassins' lives. As Gibbs puts it, ‘they’re (Tony & Ziva) working blind’. Back at the hotel, Ziva is massaging Tony, when we see that they are under surveillance. (We later find out this is the FBI.)

Tony and Ziva are contacted by their ‘client’ to meet downstairs – with the NCIS team placing hidden cameras and listening devices in the room and in Tony’s glasses. Downstairs at dinner, Tony is forced to eat left-handed (because the real Jean-Paul (assassin) was a lefty) – As they are eating dinner, photos of each person in the restaurant are sent back to Abby for background checks. Ziva gets a call from the ‘client’ and Abby is able to track the call back to the actual hotel, specifically the lobby. Unfortunately, the ‘client’ escapes.

Back at HQ, Director Shepard wants to send in back-up for Tony and Ziva, but trusts Gibbs, so decides not to. There are many Tony/Ziva shots (of them making ‘love’) and of the FBI watching them. Ziva gets McGee to bring up her ‘spy glasses’, which senses the infrared light watching them. McGee and Gibbs are able to locate the room and bust in, showing the FBI agents.

Back at NCIS, Ducky tries to determine how the Raniers lived their lives. The wife had a broken wrist; the hubby had his appendix removed but nothing really helpful for the case. The only thing ‘interesting’ Ducky found was the tattoos on their marriage fingers – the sign for ‘eternity’.

Gibbs calls T&Z, telling them what they know, and when McGee compliments Ziva’s intellect for getting ‘spy glasses, Abby vents her anger. Abby doesn’t realize Ziva can hear her, because they didn’t hang up!

After Gibbs and McGee crash the FBI’s operation, Fornell enters, and starts yelling at Gibbs for ‘straying into their jurisdiction’ – they both go into Gibbs' conference room aka the elevator, and we see that they are actually really good friends. They decide to work together to please both their bosses and to just get the job done.

At the hotel, Tony and Ziva are called by the ‘client’ to meet in the lobby to go to the destination. With the FBI on their side now, NCIS are able to get more men to cover exits, rooms etc. to make the bust when they come out. However, Tony and Ziva never leave the hotel. In the elevator, the waiter (who is a baddie) jams their listening devices, when the real ‘client’ aka Marcos Siazon shows up. We find out he is also a contract assassin, with Abby asking ‘Why would a killer hire other killers to do a hit for him?’ The viewers realize that Sophie and Jean-Paul Ranier (aka Tony and Ziva) ARE the hits!

The Ranier’s wanted to leave the assassin business, because she was pregnant. They had a disk, which had the names of all their hits and clients. The disk was wanted by Siazon because in the wrong hands (esp the feds) it could be very dangerous. The disk is later found embedded in Sophie’s eye socket by Ducky. At the hotel, FBI and NCIS arrest the ‘baddie waiter’, Marcos Siazon and co, with Tony saying that he wants a divorce from Ziva.

Back at HQ, Tony still has a headache (from the beating he took by Siazon’s guards) and Ziva offers to drive him home. Director Shepard, together with Ducky attends the Marine Corps Birthday Ball. Gibbs does not attend, opting to drink at his desk with the flask that was a gift from his dead wife and daughter. Abby wishes him Happy B-day!

Just one more moment, that's all that's needed.
Like wounded soldiers in need of healing.
Time to be honest, this time I'm bleeding
Please don't dwell on it, cause I didn't mean it

I cant believe I said I'd lay our love on the ground
But it doesn't matter cause I've made it up forgive me now
Everyday I spend away my souls inside out
Gotta be someway that I can make it up to you now, somehow.

By now you'd know that I'd come for you
No one but you, yes I'd come for you
But only if you told me to
And I'd fight for you
I'd lie, it's true
Give my life for you
You know I'd always come for you

I was blindfolded, but now I'm seeing
My mind was closing, now I'm believing
I finally know just what it means to let someone in
To see the side of me that no one does or ever will
So if your ever lost and find yourself all alone
I'd search forever just to bring you home,
Here and now this I vow

By now you'd know that I'd come for you
No one but you, yes I'd come for you
But only if you told me to
And I'd fight for you
I'd lie, it's true
Give my life for you
You know I'd always come for you
You know I'd always come for you

Yes I'd come for you, no one but you,
Yes I'd come for you
But only if you told me to

And I'd fight for you
I'd lie, it's true
Give my life for you
You know I'd always come for you

No matter what gets in my way
As long as there's still life in me
No matter what, remember you know I'll always come for you
I'd crawl across this world for you
Do anything you want me to
No matter what, remember you know I'll always come for you
You know I'll always come for you

Is this a dream?
If it is
Please don't wake me from this high
I'd become comfortably numb
Until you opened up my eyes
To what it's like
When everything's right
I can't believe

You found me
When no one else was lookin'
How did you know just where I would be?
Yeah, you broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
You found me
You found me

So, here we are
That's pretty far
When you think of where we've been
No going back
I'm fading out
All that has faded me within
You're by my side
Now everything's fine
I can't believe

You found me
When no one else was lookin'
How did you know just where I would be?
Yeah, you broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
You found me
You found me

And I was hiding
'Til you came along
And showed me where I belong
You found me
When no one else was lookin'
How did you know?
How did you know?

You found me
When no one else was lookin'
How did you know just where I would be?
Yeah, you broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
You found me

(You found me)
(When no one else was lookin')
You found me
(How did you know just where I would be?)
You broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
The good and the bad
And the things in between
You found me
You found me

Who are you now?
Are you still the same
Or did you change somehow?
What do you do?
At this very moment
When I think of you
And when I'm looking back
How we were young and stupid
Do you remember that?

No matter how I fight it, can't deny it
Just can't let you go

Chorus:
I still need you
I still care about you
Though everything's been said and done
I still feel you like I'm right beside you
But still no word from you

Now look at me huh
Instead of moving on
I refuse to see
That I keep coming back
Yeah, I'm stuck in a moment
That wasn't meant to last (to last)

I've tried to fight it, can't deny it
You don't even know that

Chorus:
I still need you
I still care about you
Though everything's been said and done
I still feel you like I'm right beside you
But still no word from you

No, no

Bridge:
I wish I could find you
Just like you found me, then I
Would never let you go (oh oh oh)

(I still need you)
Though everything's been said and done (yeah)
I still feel you (I still feel you)
Like I'm right beside you (like I'm right there beside you)

But still no word from you

I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

Staring at tears on the pages
Of letters that I never could've write
Now I know love isn't painless,
But it's worth the risk,
It's worth the fight
Playing it over and over
I wish that I could turn back time, baby
We were wrong, but we could be right

Why do we say things we can't take back
Why do we miss what we never had
Both of us fell to the ground
The love was so lost, it couldn't be found
Why do you tend to forget whose vain
I'm tired of crying out at the sound of your name
Why don't we turn this around, love ain't the enemy
Don't you want to be lost then found
Lost then found, lost then found
Love ain't the enemy
We could be lost then found

Empty glasses on tables, echoes fill these rooms
The memories go where we go,
There like the suitcase that you never lose
If the good lords eyes upon me
I swear to make things right
Whatever we lost, I know we can find

Why do we say things we can't take back
Why do we miss what we never had
Both of us fell to the ground
The love was so lost, it couldn't be found
Why do you tend to forget whose vain
I'm tired of crying out at the sound of your name
Why don't we turn this around, love ain't the enemy
Don't you want to be lost then found

No words can come without
Can't stop the rain, I wish you could take it back
But it's too late, it's too late

Why do we say things we can't take back
Why do we miss what we never had
Both of us fell to the ground
The love was so lost, it couldn't be found
Why do you tend to forget whose vain
I'm tired of crying out at the sound of your name
Why don't we turn this around, love ain't the enemy
Don't you want to be lost then found
Lost then found, lost then found
Love ain't the enemy
We could be lost then found

No words can come without
Can't stop the rain, (Lost then found)
I wish you could take it back (Lost then found)
But it's too late, it's too late

We could be lost then found…

Remember when, we never needed each other
The best of friends like
Sister and Brother
We understood, we'd never be,
Alone

Those days are gone, and I want you so much
The night is long and I need your touch
Don't know what to say
I never meant to feel this way
Don't want to be
Alone tonight

chorus:
What can I do, to make you mine
Falling so hard so fast this time
What did I say, what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?

I hear your voice
And I start to tremble
Brings back the child that, I resemble

I cannot pretend, that we can still be friends
Don't want to be,
Alone tonight

chorus:
What can I do, to make you mine
Falling so hard so fast this time
What did I say, what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?

Bridge:
Oh I want to say this right
And it has to be tonight
Just need you to know, oh yeah

I don't want to live this life
I don't want to say goodbye
With you I wanna spend
The rest of my life

chorus:
What can I do, to make you mine
Falling so hard so fast this time
What did I say, what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?

What can I do, to make you mine
Falling so hard so fast this time
Everything's changed, we never knew

How did I fall, in love, with you?

So you're scared to show your feelings
Baby I do understand
Well I don't make a promise I can't keep
And I vow to be a real good friend

In those big green eyes I see a glow of love
I just hope I'm the one you're dreaming of

Let me be the one to love you
Let me be the one to care
Let me be the one to light your flame
Oh baby Oh baby
Let me be the one

We spend all our time together
We can't stand to sleep alone
When you say you have to leave for now
I miss you before you're gone

All along we thought this was absurd (absurd)
Every moment we spend goes by too fast
Darling Darling take this chance with me
Cause I have eyes only for you
Oh baby

Let me be the one to love you
Let me be the one to care
Let me be the one to light your flame
Oh baby Oh baby
Let me be the one
Let me be the one to love you
Let me be the one to care
Let me be the one to light your flame
Oh baby Oh baby
Let me be the one
For you

Don't be scared to show your feelings
Cause baby I do understand
And I don't make promises that I can't keep
And I vow to be a real good man
