What Season 8 of NCIS: Los Angeles

The eighth season opens when Deputy Secretary of Defense Corbin Duggan takes control of the unit because the team has failed to find a mole inside the department. A mission in Syria goes wrong and leaves one of the agents seriously injured. Hetty is transferred to Washington to be interrogated, so Callen and Sam lead a team with two members fewer. That team takes on a kidnapping case, while the hunt for the mole remains the biggest pressure on the Office of Special Projects agents.
