The NCIS team races against time to thwart a terrorist plot to unleash a dirty bomb on DC. However, matters are complicated when Gibbs’s nemesis Margaret Allison Hart resurfaces to defend one of the prime suspects.
The team is first on the scene when marine Roman Vega is killed after his car explodes during a high speed police chase. The source of the explosion seems to be the trunk of the vehicle, but Ziva concludes that the lack of detonator indicates that it was an accident. However, when McGee notices that he has no signal on his mobile phone, he begins to suspect that the bomb was radioactive – and a scan with a Geiger counter confirms his theory. After they have had a spell in a mobile decontamination unit, Abby arrives and informs her relieved colleagues that they were only exposed to a low dose of radiation.
However, Roman’s vehicle was used to transport cobalt-60, which is a by-product of nuclear reactions and often used to make dirty bombs. “If it could be used to make a dirty bomb, the important question is, where is it now?” Ziva asks. As the team sets off to learn more about Roman’s possible terrorist connections, a man named Walter Kane arrives at NCIS HQ. Kane runs a private intelligence firm that works for the Pentagon, and he is sure that Roman was working for a Peruvian terrorist cell known as Libertad Neuva. Meanwhile, Roman’s brother Alfonso is brought in for questioning after he is found hiding out in a hotel. However, Gibbs is astonished to find that his lawyer is none other than M Allison Hart.
Back at HQ, Hart reacts with customary spikiness when Gibbs attempts to question her client.
However, Alfonso is keen to know more about his brother’s fate, which leads him to clash with his attorney. “I want answers too,” he snaps. It quickly becomes apparent that Roman was hiding a dark secret. “I don’t know what Roman was mixed up in,” Alfonso claims. “But whatever it was, it had him really freaked out.” He provides Gibbs with the address of a Virginia warehouse, which he knows his brother visited frequently. Inside, the team finds a factory equipped with all the components to make a dirty bomb – and a video recording of Roman threatening to unleash it on the city.
Gibbs and his team are relieved that Roman is no longer alive to carry out his threat, but this turns
to panic when Ducky appears with some devastating news. An autopsy has revealed that the dead man is not Roman Vega but an ex-army man named John Cook. “The corporal is alive,” Ducky announces, grimly. “He can give whatever orders he wishes, whenever he wishes.” Can the team find Roman and stop his organisation in its tracks, or will Hart continue to stand in the way?

I'm on wireless but have not had a problem the last two viewings of NCIS with frezing or buffering, and no adverts, only a break of 16 seconds with Scoda advert. I changed from BT to a different IP address, perhaps that helped. Miffed they no longer have the repeat on Friday evening though.

Alex, well if your parents are paying for your TV then you should be grateful for what you have. You are right the adverts on here don't pay for channel five; they pay for the website and everything needed to run the website. Although I agree the service and performance need to improve, I think they do a decent job with what the have, otherwise why are you on the site to complain about it if you think it is so terrible? Think about that before you complain next time.

madmollz101-nope i dont my parents do however what you said is true. but i still think they need to improve their service here and however these adverts on demand 5 are not paying for channel 5 because it is just a recording so they can easily just cut them out but it gives me a quick break to check emails.

Alex you are mistaken, BBC i-player may seem to be free but you by a TV license don't you? The reason there are no adverts and better quality on BBC i-player is because they are the ones who charge you for a TV license therefore giving them money to improve their site without needing the money from adverts. On the other hand, the adverts are what pays for channel 5.

@ Claire. For those of us that do shift work, this site could be a god send. But it isn't. Problems with registering, site not accepting sensible usernames, problems with the content working. Shows that haven't been available to view for months still on the play list. Admin/Ch 5 don't reply to e=mails....is it any wonder that people are leaving derogatory comments. It is because this is the only place I can view programmes that interest me that I have anything to do with. The old site was crap, but it was 10times better than this

@ Claire-I completely disagree because the channel is free on tv anyway and for those who have hd or a decent tv can watch it in decent quality however bbc iplayer is beter because it is free, fast and does not have the fricking ads. Anyway people who are complaining are just people trying to get their point across to the 5 people that this site is slow, bad quality and needs to be improved.

@Mark P because the world hates people who are just trying to have a relaxing evening. Not to mention that Demand 5 is possibly the worst controlled internet based product in the history of the net

Why do these demand channels always force you to watch the bl00dy adverts before telling you the programme is not available.

Read the instructions, read the FAQ;s, move on and get over it. A truly great series, and I for one am grateful that it's shown a bit later on demand, so I can watch it undisturbed.

i think it is all wrong becuase you can not see the best tv in on hd and on your laptops and i can not see ncsi as well but if you go too bbc hd then of course you can see it all and i think that stinks in my book and if i ran all the tv then every one could watch anthink and every think on the laptop on hd and on the your phone as well for NOTHINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
