Just as even heroic giant veteran Jason gets desperate, cut-off without proper cover down an Afghan gorge, with badly wounded Cerberus in his arms, the rest of the team arrives to return him to safety. Finally they get a clue to terrorist leader Al-Hazred junior's tunnel system hide-out and enter it, Sonny does some redeeming by pretending his training enables him to do the bomb squad's job, actually just risking his life or the team and the mission. They even find him, but Clay must fatally shoot him as he tries to commit suicide and drag them along to hell by pressure plat bomb. The team can return home covered in even more glory, except on the flight back the news arrives that the Pentagon ordered NCIS to find the military mole who leaked to the press about the Yemen ambassador's cynical fate, albeit it's true and only the family was informed, they went to the press.
