When a biker is shot, the team goes to investigate which they wonder why. Abbott informs them that the biker is an undercover agent who was looking for the source of guns being sold. They go to the bar where he's been hanging out but the agent in charge doesn't want to divulge anything. But Jane defies him and outs the person the agent was pursuing, who escapes. The agent blames Jane but he assures him he will get the person. Jane later learns the agent might not have been killed because of his assignment. It seems like when he was a kid he was sleeping at his friend's when his friend was kidnapped. He claims he never saw the kidnapper. But Jane thinks someone at the bar made an impression on him. So Jane sets out to find who's supplying the guns and who the killer/kidnapper is.

NCIS

24 Seasons
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs is the leader of a team of special agents belonging to the NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) Major Case Response Team. Gibbs, a former Marine, is a tough investigator and a highly skilled interrogator who relies on his gut instinct as much as evidence. Gibbs' second in command is Senior Field Agent Tony DiNozzo, a womanizing, movie-quoting former Baltimore Homicide Detective, who despite being the class clown always gets the job done. The team also consists of probationary field agent Eleanor Bishop, a former NSA agent, as well as Junior Field Agent Timothy McGee, a computer-savvy agent often mocked by DiNozzo. Assisting them are Abby Sciuto, the energetic-but-Goth lab tech who is like a daughter to Gibbs, and Dr. Donald Mallard, nicknamed Ducky, the eccentric medical examiner full of unusual stories. This team of elite agents, based in Washington, D.C., solve criminal cases involving Marine and Navy personnel and their families, sometimes traveling the United States - or the world - to do it.
