The disappearance of a Marines wife leads the NCIS team into the seedy world of internet pornography.Following up reports that the wife of a petty officer serving in Iraq is missing, the NCIS agents arrive at a naval community to begin their investigation.No one has seen Jamie Carr for two weeks and police fear that she has been kidnapped, since the back door of her house has been kicked in.Frustrated that Gibbs has assigned her the task of taking witness statements again, Ziva interviews one of Carrs neighbours, Bart Powell.Powell reveals that Mrs Carr was fairly reserved and rarely mixed with the other wives in the community, but can offer little else.It seems that the neighbourhood is usually quiet and suffers from very little crime because of its navy connections.Inside Carrs bedroom, Gibbs identifies signs of blood on the carpet and sends McGee to investigate.Having himself discovered traces of blood outside the house, McGee arrives in the bedroom and, to his horror, realises that he recognises his surroundings.
The room featured in a video clip which showed a scantily clad woman apparently having her throat cut by a masked man.
McGee assumed that the clip was just a hoax and thought little of it when it was emailed to him by his girlfriend.
Now, he realises, he may have been watching the depraved recording of a real murder.
Back at the lab, Abby sets to work on the video and identifies it as a live webcam feed from a lucrative adult website called Naughty, Naughty Neighbours.
The site is run by Jamie Carr and a Leanne Roberts, the wife of another officer serving in Iraq, who also lives in the naval community.
The agents head to the Roberts household and discover that there has been nobody in for some time.
As they stand outside the front door, they hear a whining noise from inside and burst through the door to find a hungry cat, a broken glass table and lots of blood.
The agents now find themselves with two crime scenes and one website, but no bodies.
Further examination of the website, much of which is enthusiastically conducted by Tony, leads the agents to Carter Finch, a webmaster who manages and updates the site for Jamie and Leanne.
Tony and Ziva go to Finchs home, while McGee is assigned the thankless tasks of combing through the websites customers, and attempting to trace the revenue.
Finch, it emerges, is a loner who lives in a basement apartment in his mothers house.
He insists he knows nothing of the video, claiming to have just a business relationship with the two women and to rarely monitor the websites content.
He also claims only to be paid $100 a month for his work on the site.
Abby, meanwhile, has been gaining what she calls a PhD in porn, owing to the hours of sexually explicit material she has had to study.
When asked by Gibbs what she has come up with, she retorts that she has learned that she should be more flexible.
More importantly, however, she has been able to trace the exact time of Carrs murder.
The case begins to come together when local police discover the body of Leanne Roberts in the boot of a car in a scrap yard her throat has also been cut.
McGee is left in charge of the yard and sets about searching for the missing body, while Gibbs returns to HQ.
As he arrives, he learns that Sergeant Roberts, Leannes husband, has requested emergency leave from Iraq and is due to arrive back in the US any time soon.
He has been informed by letter of his wifes other business interests and seems intent on taking revenge on the man he holds responsible Bart Powell.
With the prospect of a third murder in the same community, the agents must work fast to bring the case to its conclusion, but three mysteries still remain.
Who wrote the letter to Sergeant Roberts?
Who is making all the money from the website?
And where is the body of Jamie Carr?
