Once A Crook

In tonight’s episode of “NCIS“ season 11, “Once A Crook,” DiNozzo spots a suspect from a 15-year-old cold case he handled when he was with the Baltimore PD at the scene of the murder of a Petty Officer.

The “NCIS” series is based on the cases of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. From murder and espionage to terrorism and stolen submarines, special agents traverse the globe to investigate all crimes with Navy or Marine Corps ties. With liberal doses of humor, the show focuses on the sometimes complex and always amusing dynamics of a team forced to work together in high-stress situations.

The agents includes special agent Anthony DiNozzo, an ex-homicide detective; special Agent Ziva David, probably the most dangerous team member; and special agent Timothy McGee, an MIT graduate with a special genius talent in the computer field. Forensic specialist Abby Sciuto also assists the team along with medical examiner, Dr. Donald ‘Ducky’ Mallard. Head of operations is NCIS Director Leon Vance, who is an intelligent and highly-trained agent.

“NCIS” season 11, episode 5 “Once A Crook” airs tonight, October 22, at 8:00pm on CBS. Spoiler video below:

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
