==Synopsis==
To DiNozzo's surprise, Gibbs recruits DiNozzo's father, Anthony D. DiNozzo, Sr to help solve the murder of a high-level executive who became involved with a lost nuclear weapon that disappeared during the Cold War but things go from bad to worse when the team discover that a lone group is planning to get their hands on the nuclear bomb.
==Prologue==
Navy Vice Admiral C. Clifford Chase walks along an area of the Academy, obviously and impatiently waiting for someone and as he does that, his driver approaches, telling the Admiral that with rush-hour traffic, the Admiral is gonna be late for the 8am staff meeting.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah", Chase mutters, distracted before glancing at his watch before saying, "Where is he?".
Chase begins dialing the number but stops upon hearing the ringtone "Anchors Aweigh".
Gesturing into the distance, Chase tells the driver that it's coming from there.
With that, the two men then head over.
Chase unlocks a gate, giving him and his driver access to the area.
It then shows that the area in question is a small closed-off area with nothing but a big garbage dumpster.
As Chase and his driver examiner the dumpster, a group of Naval recruiters run past, the group on their morning jog.
Chase then opens the lid of the dumpster and sees the body of his friend stashed inside amid various items of garbage and also garbage bags.
This has both Chase and his driver horrified.
It then cuts to the phone which shows that the caller is none other than Admiral Chase himself.
