Introduction

NCIS was originally broadcast between 23 September 2003 and 25 May 2004 on CBS.

Outline

Gibbs puts his career on the line after finding out that a marine colonel, William Ryan (Terry O’Quinn) who also happens to be his former CO has absconded from Iraq with two million dollars, and returned to the States under an assumed name. The FBI, led by Fornell, believe that he staged the ambush and stole the money for himself while Gibbs denies the claim, believing he is innocent. Ryan later contacts Gibbs, and explains that he has discovered a conspiracy to siphon funds out of Iraq for use on black ops while vehemently denying any responsibility. Gibbs finds himself in a delicate situation as he realises that Ryan is mentally unstable after the latter kept mentioning a “Lt. Cameron”, Gibbs’s former company XO who had died in his arms years ago. Gibbs later learns that Lt. Cameron is alive, but only in Ryan’s head and is working with Ryan to stop the conspiracy. After being arrested for “pissing off the FBI”, Gibbs, along with Fornell, set out to discover the truth behind the Colonel’s claims in a tense standoff and discover that Ryan had indeed been framed. With the truth out and the standoff over, Ryan is admitted into a mental hospital so that he can be treated for his paranoid schizophrenia.
