Dead Man Talking

Special Agent Chris Pacci is brutally murdered while investigating a cold case, prompting a guilt-ridden Gibbs to step in and take over the case while attempting to find Pacci's killer. The team follows the trail of millions of dollars, and is led to a woman with ties to the thief. The agents take shifts conducting a stake-out on the woman's house, until Tony's caught raiding the mailbox. Forced to improvise, he introduces himself as a resident of the neighbourhood and strikes up a conversation based on what he had heard via surveillance. This gives him a chance to get close to the suspect in order to find out more, as he goes on a successful date with her. Meanwhile, Abby makes a shocking discovery which leaves Tony horrified and vulnerable to an onslaught of merciless taunts and teasing from Kate: the suspect they've been trailing, Amanda Reed is in fact Lt. Commander Voss, the Officer who faked his own death in a car accident and who's responsible for stealing money from the Navy. Things come to a head in a bar where Voss/Reed attempts to kill Tony in front of witnesses but Gibbs gets there just in time and shoots Voss/Reed dead, avenging Pacci's death.
