What Season 9 of NCIS

Season 9 kicks off with Leroy Jethro Gibbs's team, led by former Marine Corps sergeant Gibbs, at the Washington Navy Yard. The agents take on the most high-profile cases involving the Navy and the Marine Corps, and some point to possible terrorist attacks. The first mystery hits Tony DiNozzo hard when he is found with blood at a crime scene and remembers nothing about what happened. Later, Tony's father becomes a suspect in a murder, and the team must find out whether he is telling the truth. Gibbs directs every investigation while McGee, Ziva and Abby follow every lead.
