3.0

NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) focuses on the sometimes complex and always amusing dynamics of a team that must work together under high-stress situations. Special Agent Alden Parker, a quirky former FBI agent who solves his cases with calm professionalism and sharp, sarcastic charm, leads the NCIS team, which also includes NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee, an MIT graduate with a knack for computers who has now risen to the rank of Senior Field Agent; the charismatic, unpredictable and resilient NCIS Special Agent Nicholas “Nick” Torres, who has spent the majority of his career on solo undercover investigative missions; and the sharp, athletic and tough NCIS Special Agent Jessica Knight, a formidable REACT agent specializing in hostage negotiations and high-risk operations. Assisting the team is the naive Jimmy Palmer, who has risen from assistant to fully licensed medical examiner and now runs the morgue; and forensic scientist Kasie Hines, Ducky’s former assistant. Leading the operation is NCIS Director Leon Vance, an intelligent, highly trained agent who can always be relied upon to challenge the status quo. From murder and espionage to terrorism and stolen submarines, these special agents investigate all crimes related to the Navy or Marine Corps.
