"NCIS: New Orleans" season two revs up on its second episode as Pride and his team hatch a covert operation to get a stolen missile and stop an attempt to attack a U.S. Navy ship.
In the second installment of "NCIS: New Orleans," a body is found but unlike the standard victims that often have ties with the military, this one is civilian. The corpse is identified as Jonah Penn, a blogger from Pennsylvania. According to a review in Celeb Dirty Laundry, Penn was in no way an innocent civilian. He used his blog to expose government corruption and while this is nothing new, a recent project of his revealed that he got his hands on sensitive Navy files which is why the NCIS is being called to investigate.
However, Pride and his crew are wary of what they are about to do because they know that right from the start they will be going up against their fellow Navy men in their bid to find out who Penn's killer is. Apparently, prior to his death, the victim was investigating the Navy SEALs and its mysterious "Shadow Unit." A scene is shown where a joint SEALs and CIA operation has gone awry and inflicted massive casualties. Penn is alleging in his report that the people responsible for the killings were the SEALs themselves and not external forces.
This places the NCIS in a quagmire as the clues are pointing to their own mother unit, the Navy as the protector of ruthless killers who targeted a civilian. It gets uglier when another body shows up but this time it hits closer to home; a Navy Petty Officer is found dead.
Meanwhile, according to a recap in TV Fanatic, it turns out that the CIA has a hand in propagating the supposed massacre by the SEALs. Dalton is guilty of helping a murderer go stateside and of producing fake evidence implicating the SEALs.
