As season three begins its race to the grand finale, we have a Sam-centric episode entitle – Vengeance. Writer Frank Military has been very prolific this year with his fourth script of the season, and it’s always good to see James Whitmore, Jr. behind the camera. Whenever I watch Human Traffic (2:1) I appreciate his directing skills more and more. It remains one of my all time favorite episodes to this day.

Go back to season one and you’ll find Sam interrogating a group of Navy Seals in The Only Easy Day (1:2). In Vengeance it’s another close-knit Seal team who are accused of the murder of a Navy Intel Officer. Once again, Sam goes in to cross-examine the team.

In this episode of NCIS: Los Angeles, called “Vengeance,” the team has a task before them that I did not envy for one second. Starting out as almost any normal case, they are out to find out who murdered an ensign and put his body in a testing range for explosive, but what happens after that is anything but ordinary and starts to pull the group apart. Turns out that the suspects in the crime are the man’s unit, a team of SEALs that are set to leave for a very important rescue mission – a mission that only they have the knowledge and skill to complete.

This is where things get tough. Like “rock and a hard place” kind of tough. Our people must investigate the murder because that’s what they do, but at the same time they know that delaying the team means putting innocent lives in danger. No one is in a more difficult position than Sam. As Kensi put it at one point, Sam is forced to investigate his “family” and it’s not easy. Callen doesn’t want to give the men any special treatment but nor is he immune to the fact that there are lives depending on those men.
