Saleem then demands that Tony reveal the identities of all NCIS agents in the region, and threatens to kill a hostage if he does not speak. To Tony's surprise, the hostage is Ziva, who has been severely abused whilst in captivity. Shocked and horrified to see him, she asks why they are there; Tony replies that he could not live without her. When he admits that he and McGee deliberately allowed themselves to be captured, she brokenly responds that they should not have put their lives and wellbeing at stake for her, urging them to tell Saleem what he wants to hear and try to save themselves.
