List of NCIS episodes

"Reveille" is the 23rd episode of the drama television series NCIS. It is in this episode that the "meat puzzle" story arc first appears.

[edit] Plot

Gibbs has no cases, so he tries to identify the terrorist who infiltrated the NCIS building and held Ducky, Gerald and Kate hostage in the episode Bête Noire. McGee has the idea of using an FBI software program to know the age of the terrorist, limiting the search. Meanwhile, the terrorist gets some training missile launchers to attack the Marine Helicopters when the President flies with the Prime Minister of Israel, and then attack the presidents where the helicopters left. But he doesn't know which helicopter is Marine One.

McGee discovers that the terrorist was born in 1969. Kate sees the terrorist, and gets into a car to follow him, only to be kidnapped by his friends. Ducky realizes that the terrorist knew anatomy, and he must have gone to the medical school in Britain. Kate gets to the place where the terrorist is, and he let her call Gibbs if she tells him that she got food poisoning and went home sick. Meanwhile, McGee discovers the terrorist's name – Dr. Ari Haswari.

Ari asks Kate how to distinguish the Marine One from the other Marine helicopters. She says it's impossible. Marta, a terrorist girl who was with Ari, becomes very angry, and try to call the terrorists. Then, Ari shoots her. Gibbs realizes Ari has kidnapped Kate. Ari ask her to call her friends at the Secret Service. Ari reveals that he is an Israeli and in Mossad. Fornell tells Gibbs that the terrorists are arrested, and presented as drug dealers in the news. He also says that Ari is not detained, as he was a sleeper agent all his life. The agencies directors want Gibbs to forget about Ari. Gibbs agrees on one condition – meeting with him. Ari will be going back to Middle East and say that Marta was the double agent. Gibbs shoots Ari in the shoulder, officially to make Ari's escape more believeable but in reality as a form of revenge for Ari shooting M.E. Assistant Gerald in the shoulder during the earlier siege. As Gibbs leaves, Ari begins laughing.

[edit] Trivia

When Gibbs asks McGee how long medical school is in the UK, McGee states 4 years which is incorrect, medical training at a UK university lasts 5 or 6 years depending on course.[1]
