TEXT: Scene opens to a nighttime shot of a car parked under a big tree in the middle of a Park. Two teens are making-out in the backseat. The boy wants to take it further than the girl is willing. GIRL: Jimmy. Jimmy, ugh. Stop! I said no! (pushes him away) JIMMY: God, hey! I sat my sorry ass on a [torment??] bus for three hours to hook-up with you. GIRL: If you only came to "hook-up", then you should have stayed in Charlottesville. JIMMY: Oh, come on. You know I love you. (tries to kiss her again) Come here, come on... GIRL: (holding him back) Jimmy. (he persists, she struggles to push him away) Stop it or I'll scream! While the girl keeps trying to make Jimmy stop, he isn't listening. Then, at the moment she threatens to scream, a pair of legs punch through the roof of the car and splatter the teens in blood. The girl makes good on her promise to scream - quite nicely, in fact. The camera then pans back from the car and we see that the body is a paratrooper, stuck halfway through the car's roof with his torso sticking out. The girl continues to scream. *INTRO CREDITS* Gibbs is in his basement working on his boat. The television plays a football game in the background. Tony appears at the top of the stairs. TONY: Don't you lock the door? GIBBS: Nope. TONY (walking down stairs): We got a call. Quantico. Marine got killed in an exercise. GIBBS: How? TONY: Night training jump. Guy's chute didn't open. (examines wooden frame which is obviously a boat) Is this a boat? Gibbs gives him a look, as if to say "what kind of stupid question is that?" then with a shake of the head, goes back to sanding his boat. GIBBS: His reserve chute failed to open?
SUMMARY:
A Marine (Brian Patrick Wade) dies during a night-time training jump. The culprit seems to be a faulty parachute, but standard investigation reveals that the death might not have been an accident after all. Gibbs begins to believe that the supposed accident which resulted in the Marine's death might actually be murder after all and he and Tony, along with new recruit Kate Todd, set out to find out who tampered with the dead Marine's faulty parachute and eventually sent him to his death. This is the first crossover with JAG in this series, with the appearance of Lt. Bud Roberts Jr. (Patrick Labyorteaux).
