Special Agent Dwayne Pride (Scott Bakula) will find himself at the mercy of a vengeful captor in the upcoming episode of the CBS series "NCIS: New Orleans."
In "Father's Day," Spoilers Guide reports that Pride's Mardi Gras celebration will turn nasty. He has just opened his pub for a public party when an unknown assailant barges in and kidnaps him. As he tries to get his bearings on what happened, the agent will be surprised to learn that Mayor Douglas Hamilton (Steven Weber) has also been abducted. Later on, the perpetrator will declare that it is a hostage crisis. What does the kidnapper want with the two men?
Last episode, Pride and his agents worked on the case of an immigrant who supposedly committed suicide. He fell down on top of a car and preliminary investigation showed he had alcohol in his system. Dr. Loretta Wade (CCH Pounder) also found a curious injury that the victim had in his hand. It looked like it was pounded by a hammer, a torture technique used by a local cartel. He also had finger marks on the neck, suggesting that he was strangled before his fall. The culprit wanted the murder to look like suicide.
What stumped the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) was that the victim was a model immigrant. He had no enemies. It turned out he still had a sister back in Honduras that the family wanted to bring to the United States. They asked the mob boss to help them out, and the latter told him he would in exchange for his services. He wanted the victim to transport the illegal aliens that the gang secretly brought to New Orleans. When his sister suddenly vanished, he confronted the leader and was killed.
"NCIS: New Orleans" season 2 episode 14 will air on Tuesday, Feb. 9, at 9 p.m. on CBS.
