As season four starts the usual head of NCIS, Gibbs (played by Mark Harmon), has left for the greener grasses of retirement so Tony DiNozzo (played by Michael Weatherly) is now in charge of the team. He starts off with his hands full as one of his team members is accused of assassinating an Iranian prisoner. Soon enough they realize they need Gibbs back.
