When the body of a dead Marine is found in Arlington, VA, NCIS Special Agents Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon) and Timothy McGee (Sean Murray) travel to Los Angeles to work with the Office of Special Projects (OSP).

Meanwhile in Washington, Special Agent Anthony "Tony" DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly) works with forensic specialist Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette) to discover the identity of Officer Ziva David's (Cote de Pablo) boyfriend. After reviewing footage from Ziva's undercover operation in Morocco, Tony and Abby discover that Ziva's mystery boyfriend is Mossad agent Michael Rivkin.

When Ziva identifies Rivkin as an undercover Mossad agent operating in the United States, Tony is forced to question her loyalty to NCIS.

Series # Season # Title Original airdate
11x01"Identity"[8]September 22, 2009 (2009-09-22)[8]

In the series premiere, NCIS investigates the death of a Navy officer killed during an LAPD shootout with drug runners. Initially they think the officer was a hostage but when Special Agents G.Callen (Chris O'Donnell) and Sam Hanna (LL Cool J) find he has been picked up and dropped off daily by the drivers of the car and has been using his military clearance to send top secret satellite photos of a mounting anti-drug military mission to a drug cartel leader, they question his loyalty. Further investigation reveals that he was being forced to cooperate because his niece is being held hostage. When they learn the identity of the cartel leader, Callen and Sam go under cover posing as satellite experts, offering to replace the flow of secret information to him; their goal is to get close enough to find the dead Navy officer's niece. Rocky Carroll guest stars in his regular role as Leon Vance.[8]

21x02"The Only Easy Day"[10]September 29, 2009 (2009-09-29)[10]

When three Navy SEALs interrupt a drug deal to steal the drug money, a SEAL and an undercover LAPD officer end up dead. NCIS watches the surveillance footage, and Sam Hanna recognizes a former Navy SEAL colleague, and the hunt is on to find the other team members and the evidence needed to convict them. Sam confronts his old friend, but gets little satisfaction. He's personally offended that his former brethren could violate their code so profoundly, particularly when one of their team turns up dead, having been killed in the initial robbery. In a surprise twist, the investigation leads NCIS to discover the undercover cop wasn't there to take down the drug dealers, but another police officer who is leading a double life selling drugs. Using their skills as interrogators as well as their undercover acumen, Sam, G. Callen and the team are able to arrest the SEALs involved, as well as take down the corrupt police officer.[10]

Special Agents Sam, Callen and the team must work quickly to find a stolen Predator drone, still armed with a deadly missile. Using computer surveillance, Sam and Callen find the driver who transported the drone away from its landing sight. He’s an Islamic extremist who works for a computer software company, he kills himself as he’s being chased, but further investigation reveals he’s not a candidate to have mastered flying the drone. Eric and Dom use their computer tracking skills; they determine that video footage from the stolen drone was posted in a University classroom. Kensi goes undercover in the college class hoping to smoke out their suspect. She finds him, but he’s also killed before she can get any information from him. As they figure out who’s behind the theft, they realize the drone has been reactivated and is targeted to a local high school. Turning to the original drone “pilot,” they’re able to save the school and arrest the man behind the conspiracy.
