Berlin is the twenty-first episode of NCIS Season 10 and the 231st episode of the entire NCIS series.

Synopsis

As the NCIS team investigates the murder of a Mossad officer which occurred in Virginia, Tony and Ziva head to Berlin, Germany instead of Rome, Italy as they attempt to track down leads that could lead Ziva to Ilan Bodnar.

Prologue

The episode opens with a recap of the previous NCIS episodes which saw the deaths of Eli David and Jackie Vance and ends with NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs telling NCIS Special Agent Ziva David to take her partner, NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo to Berlin as they search for Ilan Bodnar which leaves Ziva stunned.

In a parking garage, Amir Mantel sits in his car, impatiently tapping his thumb against the steering wheel.

He then stops upon seeing an SUV.

"Better late than never", Mantel says before ordering the person to stand by.

As the SUV arrives, Mantel remarks that he was beginning to wonder.

The window then rolls open with the driver leaving Mantel stunned and wondering who the mysterious man is.

Seconds later the man draws a gun and shoots Mantel, the shot killing Mantel instantly.

The SUV then drives off.

It then cuts to the inside of the car where Mantel lies there, dead before panning to reveal a Star of David which confirms that Mantel is an officer with Mossad.
