TEXT: INT. AUTOPSY ROOM - NIGHT (ELEVATOR DINGS) (LIGHT CLICKS ON) DUCKY: He's not an American Naval Officer? GERALD: They said he was a Royal Navy Commander. DUCKY: Well, which Royal Navy, Gerald? There are several of them. GERALD: I assume British, Doc. DUCKY: The Swedes, the Norwegians, Aussies, Kiwis, Saudis... they all have Royal Navies. GERALD: Well, the EMT only said that the Embassy told them to bring him to NCIS for autopsy. DUCKY: Which Embassy? GERALD: Israeli. DUCKY: Israeli? GERALD: That's what they said. DUCKY: Hmm. Why on earth would the Israeli Embassy send us a foreign naval officer? GERALD: Well that's what I asked the EMT that delivered the body, but they didn't know either. DUCKY: He calls me down here in the middle of the night, doesn't know which Navy. Gerald, what does this look like? GERALD: Uh... one of my gloves. DUCKY: What's it doing in my drawer? GERALD: I'm sorry, Doc, I must have put your gloves in my drawer. I'll get it. DUCKY: No, I'll do it. Ah, Gerald, unzip that body bag and find out with which Navy our guest sailed. (GERALD UNZIPS THE BAG) DUCKY: Don't recognize the uniform. I'm not surprised. The Royal Navies of the world wear almost identical uniforms. In fact, during World War Two, British Naval Officers whose ships went down in the channel, passed themselves off in Antwerp as German submariners who... good god.

SUMMARY:
Ducky responds to an emergency call when the Israeli Embassy sends a Royal Navy officer to NCIS for autopsy, only to find a gunman (revealed in later episodes to be recurring antagonist Ari Haswari ) inside the body bag. As Ducky, Gerald and eventually Kate are held hostage in the autopsy lab, the director and Gibbs coordinate with an FBI strike team to negotiate their release. Meanwhile, Kate questions herself after she hesitates when presented with an opportunity to kill her captor, while Gibbs and Tony assist with the hostage rescue team. Haswari asks for Gibbs in the autopsy lab and challenges him to try and shoot him.
