Season 2 • Episode 14
When the team's trusted K-9 agent is wounded, NIS races to track down the culprit.
Matt Roush says...
Last seen as an avatar of the Angel of Death on NCIS, helping guide Director Vance to the afterlife, the younger version of Dr. Donald “Ducky” Mallard (Adam Campbell sporting the bow tie and personality made famous by the late David McCallum) gets to be himself on the 1990s-set prequel. Newly promoted to the post of chief Medical Examiner in Washington, D.C., Ducky willingly hops a plane cross-country to help his weekly phone friend, San Diego’s Medical Examiner Dr. Tango (Julian Black Antelope), when the Native American doc is jailed on a charge of stealing skeletal remains from a national park. Tango’s motivation is personal, and so is Ducky’s and the rest of the NIS crew as they work to clear his name.
