NCIS Season 1 Episode 22 – A Weak Link
Routine training results in the death of a lieutenant just days before he was due to deploy on a classified operation. The death is initially dismissed as an equipment malfunction, but Abby discovers that the link attaching the lieutenant to his rappelling rope was made of a weaker material than factory standard, suggesting sabotage and potentially murder. Pressure is applied by the CIA for the investigation to be wrapped up within 38 hours so the operation can continue. As the case goes on, Gibbs discovers that the lieutenant had a secret, and that his wife may hold vital information about his death.
