THE NCIS TEAM INVESTIGATES WHEN A BODY IS FOUND IN A CIVIL WAR

"Silver War" -- Gibbs and the team are called in when a recently deceased man is found encased in a Civil War-era tomb, on a rebroadcast of NCIS, Tuesday, Jan. 3 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Terrence O'Hara directed the episode from a teleplay John C. Kelley and Joshua Lurie and a story by John C. Kelley. (Originally broadcast 10/11/05)

Gibbs and the team discover that the corpse inside the cast-iron tomb is that of a missing Staff Sergeant who, according to Ducky, was buried alive. Using cell phone records from a phone found inside the casket, Abby tracks the victim's final phone calls to a bank and safety deposit box that contains a map the Staff Sergeant died protecting. Meanwhile, Director Shepard informs Gibbs that Agent David will now be a full-time member of his team.
