DUCKY MAKES A SHOCKING DISCOVERY WHEN HE FINALLY IDENTIFIES THREE BODIES FOUND MUTILATED IN BARRELS MONTHS AGO, ON A REBROADCAST OF "NCIS," ON A SPECIAL NIGHT AND TIME, SUNDAY, JAN. 22 AT 9:00 PM

"The Meat Puzzle" -- As he reassembles the pieces of three bodies found stuffed in barrels months ago, Ducky is shocked when he discovers their identities, on a rebroadcast of NCIS, on a special night and time, Sunday, Jan. 22 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Frank Wright directed the episode from a script by Frank Military. (Originally broadcast 2/8/04)

Gibbs and the team step into high gear when Ducky realizes the bodies are those of a prosecutor and sheriff who worked on a rape and murder case with Ducky 10 years before. Ever suspicious, Gibbs feels that Ducky could be the next target of the mysterious killer because of his part in the original case, so he assigns the team the task of guarding Ducky and his senile mother. But when Ducky is kidnapped during the team's watch, Gibbs races against time to save him and capture the demented killer.
