Our team investigates the death of Navy Lieutenant, Emma Paxton, when her body is found at Swiftcast, a major internet service provider, after an attempted robbery in the facility shuts down all the electricity in the greater DC area. With no electricity we watch our team solve the murder the old fashioned way. While the security guards who were part of the crossfire are questioned, our team realizes that nothing was stolen from SwiftCast. Tony and Ziva track down the house that they believe the suspects are hiding out in and discover two bodies, one of them being one of the security guards involved in the shootout. The plot thickens as this turns out to be more than just a robbery. Paxton's position working in the entertainment division was just a cover for her highly classified position with the National Security Agency. Paxton’s iris was hard-coded to allow her access to all major security companies which would have given her free access to SwiftCast.
