This is part 2 of the JAG story that serves as the introduction to the NCIS spinoff series
After a JAG officer is found murdered, Harm is arrested for the crime and is put on trial. The case against Harm appears to be very strong, but Agent Gibbs (guest star Mark Harmon) begins to have doubts about his guilt despite the incriminating evidence. As Gibbs leaves for the Middle East to question a senior Arab terrorist about an impending attack against a Navy ship, he asks his team to dig deeper into Harm’s case in the hopes that they will find new evidence that points to another killer before the verdict is read.
Writer: Don Bellisario & Don McGill
Director: Scott BrazilSynopsis: NCIS Special Agent Gibbs is sent to interrogate Harm who is being tried for murder.
