Baltimore is the twenty-second episode in NCIS Season 8 and the 184th episode of the entire NCIS series.

Synopsis

When his former partner is found dead, a possible victim of the Port-to-Port Killer, DiNozzo confronts his past as a Baltimore detective and finds himself taking a trip down memory lane as he remembers the events that led to him becoming an NCIS Special Agent.

Prologue

In his apartment, as a lone beer bottle sits on the table, Danny Price eagerly awaits for the food in the microwave to be cooked.

Once it's done, it beeps.

Price then takes it out while also using a towel to cover his hands but the sound of dogs barking has him glancing around.

With the barking showing no signs of stopping, Price puts his foot down and then takes a gun from his shelf.

He looks out the window, curious and then the dogs stop barking altogether.

Later, with his food and beer, Price sits down and begins watching TV including some night-late channel dedicated to 24/7 adverts.

He then takes a sip of his beer but stops upon realizing that there's something wrong.

He sniffs it.

Upon realizing what's happened, Price slams the beer bottle down onto the table.

Price then gets up and attempts to reach his gun but the poison has already started taking effect, causing him to stagger. He then grabs the gun before walking.

However, Price later sinks to his knees, his breathing becoming increasingly ragged.

Price can only go only a few meters or so before he collapses onto his back, gasping for air.

As he lies there, the door is heard unlocking before the main door opens with someone arriving, their feet covered by gloves, presumably so that they won't leave any DNA behind.

Price lies there, still gasping.

The figure then takes the beer bottle from the table and pours more bottle into Price's open mouth, Price unable to do anything because he's paralyzed.

It then cuts to Price who lies, struggling to live, his heartbeat frantic but it stops altogether with Price closing his eyes and going still as he succumbs to the poison, dying seconds later.
