Iceman (episode)

Iceman is the eighteenth episode in NCIS Season 4 and the eighty-eighth episode of the entire NCIS series.
==Synopsis==
When a Marine Corporal on Ducky's table awakens despite having been pronounced dead, the team attempt to discover who attacked the Marine.
==Prologue==
Holding his briefcase and some milk, NCIS Medical Examiner, Dr. Donald Mallard examines the NCIS morgue which is shrouded in darkness.
Once he's left the milk on a desk and his briefcase on a chair, Ducky heads over to another area of the morgue and switches on an overhead light before grabbing a clipboard on top of the body bag.
He reads the name: Corporal Liam Michael O'Neill with Ducky remarking that that's a good Irish name. Ducky tells the body that he's from Scotland and hopes that Corporal O'Neill won't hold that against him.
As Ducky switches on another light, he remarks that the victim was twenty four years old and that O'Neill is too young for them to be meeting on this chilly morning. He reads that Corporal O'Neill who was also a United States Marine was found face-down in a snow drift in Montrose Park.
As he heads over to his desk, Ducky wonders how Corporal O'Neill ended up there at 6am in the morning. As this goes on, he removes his coat, hat and scarf, hanging them up on the coat stand.
Ducky trusts that Corporal O'Neill wasn't stumbling home from a big night out as that would be a tragic waste of a young life.
Once he's hung up his coat, Ducky heads over and grabs some gloves from a box while stating that this is the place where death rejoices in teaching the living. Once the gloves are on, Ducky moves the overhead light aside and wonders what Corporal O'Neill or Liam can teach them.
Ducky opens the body bag and sees Corporal O'Neill inside. He examines Corporal O'Neill, finding a small bump on top of the Corporal's head before Ducky states that perhaps he spoke too soon. Ducky then muses that maybe Corporal O'Neill wasn't the architect of his own destruction.
Suddenly, Corporal O'Neill's eyes snap open and he sits up, gasping for air as the teapot Ducky had on goes off in the background.
It cuts to Ducky who looks greatly startled.

The warehouse has become a crime scene and as various photos are taken, Ducky remarks that they've got multiple victims with multiple wounds, causing Gibbs to realize that this was a pay and spray.
