In the squad room, Ziva cannot find Ray. He is working and the assignment is classified. Ziva thinks Cobb is after Ray because he blames the Navy and the CIA for what happened to him. Tony blames CIA scumbag Trent Kort. Although she and Ray have been apart for a few episodes, Ziva is worried.
Ziva arrives at a hotel room and knocks. Nobody answers so she knocks again. The door opens, she enters already yakking, and gets taken out from behind like a rank amateur as Cobb pistol whips her into unconsciousness.
Gibbs asks if Cobb would like for Gibbs to put Cobb out his misery. Cobb says Ziva is still out there and what kind of lesson would Gibbs learn if his actions were humane? Gibbs says Cobb failed as a Navy officer, embarrassed the CIA, disappointed his dad, so who is he to teach Gibbs a lesson? Cobb asks whose holding the sidearm now?
Tony finds Kort outside and grabs him by the collar. Kort shoves Tony off. Tony demands to know what Cobb wants. Kort says Tony has no idea how high this goes. Tony knows about Operation Frankenstein, but Kort sneers that Tony knows nothing. He says certain people had a lot to gain. Tony says he needs to find Ziva. Kort tells Tony to stop looking for a straight line, to treat it like chess and think four moves ahead, and start looking for the checkmate.
Back at HQ, Barret and a redshirt agent lead Cobb into the elevator to take him to lock-up. Poor Palmer is in the wrong place at the wrong time, having ridden the elevator up to see Barrett. Barrett makes small talk and congratulates Palmer on his recent engagement (news to the audience).
-The team has a history with Kort dating back to Season Four and the Le Grenouille caper. Tony especially hates him. Kort lost an eye fighting the P2P killer offscreen, as detailed in Swan Song, Episode 8.22.
-I assume Ziva is talking about losing Michael Rivkin. Semper Fidelis, Episode 6.24. He was a Mossad team member. Most of the NCIS deaths that have occurred on her watch had some distance associated with them.
Casting Call: Give credit to Alimi Ballard, the actor playing Levin. We talked about him last post. We literally hardly knew his character as Levin had maybe eight lines across two episodes. But his death stings.
Maybe this episode suffers because it tried to fly too high, and its wings melted. If so, ambition is hardly a bad thing. But in the overall scheme of our rating systems here, this is only worth five Palmers.

After months of getting nowhere, Gibbs's obsession to uncover the true identity of the terrorist who triggered the hostage situation in Bte Noire (episode) begins reaching such alarmingly high heights to such an extent that even Kate and eventually Tony become concerned. However, on her way back to NCIS Headquarters after lunch with Ducky and Tony, Kate is later kidnapped and reunited with the mysterious terrorist. She soon discovers that his group of fellow terrorists including one who happens to be DiNozzo's new crush are busy planning a terrorist attack and their targets are the U.S. President and the Israeli Prime Minister.
With the sound of a beating heart in the background, the elevator doors suddenly open, revealing NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs and as he heads into the morgue, he sees a single body bag lying on the table.
Unzipping the bag, Gibbs then throws it open and it reveals that it's Caitlin Todd who's lying in the bag, dead, her eyes glazed over and with a single bullet-shaped hole in the center of her forehead.
When Gibbs angrily asks if the idea is to depress him, McGee insists that it isn't because if they get the terrorist's exact age, they'll be able to limit the search to the year he turned 21 and that will only take a number of days.
Kate vows that she won't and begins profiling him. She also reveals that money doesn't drive him and that it might be martyrdom but it might also be revenge and money and she also got the sense that he lives large given that he has perfect nails, teeth and he even had a manicure.
She then tells Tony of how Gibbs showed up at her local coffeehouse, brought her coffee and then probed her about the incident involving the terrorist as if it had happened yesterday, not months ago but Tony agrees that it's serious given that Gibbs has never bought him coffee.
Snyder tells him that Mossad swear that they've got nothing, not even a Hamas code-name and then suggests that if they're holding out, then they're waiting for the opportunity to take him out themselves.
As it does, it pulls back to reveal that the rogue gunman and his associates are watching the live coverage. He then tells his men about the route that Marine One will take and the plan that they have which in detail reveals that they plan to capture Bush and Israeli President Ariel Sharon so that they can exchange them for prisoners that Israel is holding.
It then cuts to the lab where McGee and Abby are playing around but during the process, Abby accidentally knocks into Gibbs who given that the fact that the search for the terrorist is going nowhere is extremely pissed.
He then gives McGee three days to get a hit, stating if the younger Agent doesn't get a hit within that time, then Gibbs will believe that it's a ploy to play house before leaving the lab as Abby and McGee look at each other.
Tony then hopes that maybe Gibbs will take his frustrations out on the Mysterious Red-Head instead of them while Kate expresses disgust as Tony's manners which include him talking with his mouth full.
Ducky tells them that Gibbs was after a child murderer who had sexually abused a five year old girl before beating her to death while Kate states that stuff like that makes her sick and then asks Ducky if the guy was ever caught.
Ducky shares a story about a man whose big toe tingled every time an earthquake was about to strike and he even tells Palmer that he's a rare one because any other Medical Assistants would take one look at the puzzle and head for the loo.
Ducky then tells him that the puzzle was found in a 55-gallon drum of alcohol beside a dumpster at Bethesda Naval Hospital but stops when he remembers the terrorist looking at Yasir Qassam's body and determining that they hadn't performed an autopsy yet.
DiNozzo tells that the statement isn't fair but Gibbs tells him that war isn't fair and that they're at war. He also states that until he relieves DiNozzo which may be any moment now, DiNozzo's going to fight that war 24/7 and that includes sleeping, eating and taking a crap.
Simi then gets her ringing cell-phone, inadvertently or not, sexually harassing Kate by running his hand across her waist and feels Kate up through the skirt then picking the phone off of her left hip.
The terrorist then wants to know why Bassam hit her. Simi tells him that she wouldn't tell them who was calling her. He then throws her cell-phone to the gunman who catches her, looks at it and realizes that Gibbs called her.
The gunman then tells her that her story is that she became ill after lunch and she went to Emergency where they told her she had food poisoning. They then gave her some meds and sent her home. He also states that she'll be fine tomorrow but that she needs some rest.
Suddenly, the terrorist calls for someone and Marta, the jogger from earlier emerges. She then tells Kate that when she meets Tony for their date tonight, she'll put a bullet in the back of Tony's head as she runs her fingers through his hair which forces Kate to surrender and agree to the gunman's terms given that Tony's life is now at stake.
McGee, having never seen one of Gibbs's meltdowns before is amazed while Tony finally begins to agree with Kate about the fact that Gibbs is losing it and is hoping isn't today but McGee gives him a look.
When the gunman tells her to think of the situation as a weekend in the country with himself as the charming host as well as the fact that many women find him attractive, Kate tells him that he must pay the woman well which has Marta laughing.
Unsurprisingly, Marta who's still reading her book isn't too impressed, calling it a lucky guess and when the gunman asks her about that, Kate tells him that it wasn't before demanding that he ask her question.
The gunman then tells her that they'll play the game once more to satisfy Marta that it wasn't luck. He arranges the shells again and asks Kate to pick one. After a single second passes, Kate chooses the one to her right and as it turns out, she's correct.
Kate still wants to know why she's here but the gunman ignores her question, stating that she's here to teach him this trick and that he's serious. He rearranges the shells yet again while Kate glares at him.
Back in the bullpen, Tony announces that the terrorist's name is Ari Haswari while McGee tells Abby that he graduated from Edinburgh Medical College in 1994. Ducky's stunned because he graduated from there albeit a few decades earlier.
Gibbs wants McGee to find out who knew him at the medical school but Tony has already covered that, telling them that he spoke to a Dr. Martin Sedgewick who told Tony that he and Ari did their post-graduate work at the Edinburgh Center for Infectious Diseases.
Marta reaches for the cell-phone, intending to warn her colleagues of what happened but as she edges closer, she puts herself into the line of fire while Ari wastes no time in wielding Kate's gun and without missing a single beat, he shoots Marta in the head, causing her to hit the ground.
It then pulls away from the little area and cuts to a TV where Debra Green is reporting on a shootout between FBI agents and alleged Colombian drug dealers (in reality, Ari's first terrorist cell) has ended with three suspects being killed and two FBI agents being wounded.
Getting off the seat, Fornell tells Gibbs that Ari's father was Mossad and that he knocked Ari's mother up to get a son with Arab blood before sending Ari to medical school to vet him as a doctor in Gaza.
