Series NCIS — 1 season, 6 episode

Story

An NCIS team faces a troubling investigation aboard an aircraft carrier after several sailors die from drug overdoses. The case becomes especially difficult because none of the victims has a known history of drug abuse.

The episode combines military procedure, crime investigation and espionage-driven tension. Its central mystery develops through the contrast between the victims' spotless records and the circumstances of their deaths, placing the agents in a setting where rank, duty and access may all hold significance.
