[edit] Plot

NCIS investigates a cargo pod found by a deer hunter when a Navy lieutenant, missing presumed dead, is found mummified inside. Ten years ago Lieutenant Schills vanished along with $1 million from the ship's safe and as a result, he was suspected of stealing the money and dishonerably discharged. The NCIS team must figure out not only how Lieutenant Schills ended up in the pod but where the missing money went and who the real thief was.

Schill's wife subsequently re-married and her current husband, also a former sailor who knew Schills, is suspected of his murder. However, the focus shifts to two sailors who served with the lieutenant while on the ship and had access to the money. One moved to Mexico (and is subsequently discovered to have been murdered) while the other, Erin, is living the good life apparently from a lottery win.

[edit] Quotes

Randy: I was afraid that if I told her I knew Mark, she'd ask a lot of questions...I didn't think I'd fall in love with her. And then, then when I did it was too late.
Kate: Bounce.
Randy: Yeah.
Gibbs: Bounce?
Kate: It's a film. Ben Affleck gives up his seat on this flight for a guy who needs to get home. Plane crashes, guy dies, he ah, looks up the widow, Gwyneth Paltrow. He means to tell her the story, but by the time they come around to it, they've fallen in love, and he's afraid if he tells her, it'll ruin it.
Randy: That's what happened to me.
Kate: I believe him.
Gibbs: Of course you believe him, it's a chick flick. In a guy flick, you steal the money, you set LT Schills up to take the fall, you murder him and you marry his wife.
Randy: That is sick.
Kate: It sure is!

Ducky: You know post mortem details can be extremely revealing. Remember that case four years ago, where the young marine was buried in an anthill up to his neck?
Gibbs: Duck. It was eight years ago. (Points to a body in the morgue) How did he die?
Ducky: No, it can't be eight years. No, I know it wasn't! Four years ago your third wife hit you over the head with a baseball bat. I distinctly remember the ant eaten marine on that table there when I stitched you up
