TEXT: Gibbs: Previously on NCIS... Jacob Scott, former MI6, caught selling U.S. nuclear Intel to Russia. At MI6, he functioned at the highest level of security, until we got a tip from the CIA. Jacob Scott's out for blood. Yeah? Whose? He said NCIS killed his wife. The stolen file-- put it up. Boss, this is a hit list? Where would he start, Gibbs? The top. Fornell: The man who ordered the whole damn thing-- Tom Morrow. No. What's that? (phone ringing) (silenced gunshot) (ringing continues) Woman: Sir, you can't go in there. No, I'm going in! Sir! EMT: Pulse is erratic. Blood pressure's dropping. Gibbs: Tobias, can you hear me? Nurse: 30 ccs of etomidate. A hundred of Succinylcholine. Prep him for surgery. Is he going to be okay? He lost a lot of blood. We'll do what we can. Wait, wait. I have a friend, Dr. Cyril Taft. He's out of the country right now, Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa... but maybe he can help. You'll... you need to prepare yourself. Prepare myself? For what? Hey. Give me a sitrep. Former MI6 Chief Terdei's body's been secured. Got a BOLO out on Jacob Scott over the entire tri-state area. Where's DiNozzo? McGee: He just got back from Russia. He's on his way from the airport. How's Fornell? (sighs) We need to find his daughter. Tony: I got her. She's still in school. Agents are bringing her in now, but, uh, she doesn't know anything yet. She just lost one parent, she can't lose another. Gibbs: You and that MI6 officer Reeves were tracking Scott in Moscow. What the hell happened? Just never got a lock on him. Jacob must've slipped back
SUMMARY:
Fornell is in critical condition after being ambushed in Gibbs' house. NCIS places all people on Jacob Scott's hit list into protective custody except for two missing people, both of them former NCIS agents. Gibbs and his team manage to find them with help from FBI agent Tess Monroe, MI6 agent Clayton Reeves and a returning Trent Kort. Scott later turns himself in, claiming he is being framed for everything, and that the only person that can clear his name is another former NCIS agent, Ziva David. It turns out that Scott was telling the truth and Kort is the true culprit. The episode ends in a cliffhanger, revealing that the farmhouse belonging to the late former Mossad director, Eli David, was bombed; this was the supposed location of Ziva.
