IN THE ZONE
STORY LINE: A war zone may provide good coverage for murder, but the NCIS team is quick to realize that CAPTAIN JOHN RANKIN was not simply the random victim of a mortar attack. Soon Tony and Nikki are making their way to Baghdad to find out what really happened, and why...
[MARINE MAJOR IKE VARNAI] Early 40s, physically fit, authoritative and tough, he has been stationed in Iraq for some time and he appears weary from his long tour. Varnai becomes Tony and Nikki's "handler" during their brief stay in Baghdad while investigating the murder of an Marine Captain. Brusque in manner, with little time for idle chatter, Major Varnai is a practical, coldly aloof man who is clearly more than a little anxious to get back Stateside and be with his family. Not eager to help with the investigation, he considers the whole of Iraq a crime scene. Under a great deal of stress and world-weary with a decided cynicism, he becomes a suspect... SPTV050769. GUEST LEAD - MARINE HAIRCUT REQUIRED, ANY ETHNICITY
[KELVIN BRAITHWAITE] Mid to late 30s, cocky and overconfident, he is an investment opportunist, a sleazy businessman who had struck a proposition with Marine Captain John Rankin, currently doing a tour of duty in Iraq. Eager to make a killing on a land deal, he is the prime suspect when Rankin is killed... GUEST STAR
[GEORGE STENNER] Mid to late 30s, a bookish, nervous, ordinary kind of guy who you wouldn't think twice about, he is the owner of a small soil testing company, clearly uneasy when he is questioned by Gibbs (Mark Harmon) about his association with Marine Captain Rankin. Physically ill with nerves, he seems, nonetheless, honest and cooperative... GUEST STAR
[DINA RANKIN] Late 20s to early 30s, beautiful, intelligent and educated, she is the widow of the late Marine Captain John Rankin, murdered in Iraq. Obviously distraught, but still well-spoken and clear-headed, she feels certain that Kelvin Braithwaite is the man behind the hit on her husband. She explains to Gibbs that her husband was man who trusted his instincts. When he failed to mail
back a contract sent to him by Braithwaite, she sensed something was terribly wrong... GUEST STAR
[MARINE SERGEANT JIM GILROY] Late 20s, physically fit and tough. Currently assigned to Iraq, he is first seen playing basketball with Marine Captain Rankin at the time he is killed, apparently from a mortar attack. He is confused to learn that Rankin was singled out, and tells Tony that Rankin was very well liked, and a good man... GUEST STAR, MARINE HAIRCUT REQUIRED, ANY ETHNICITY
[ALLAN HAYES] Late 20s, a U.S. citizen, he is a scruff, civilian construction worker for AQB in Baghdad. A man with a police record, he was being investigated for making bribes to people in the International Zone. It seems one of the those "bribes" may have been a hit fee, a payment to take out a certain uncooperative party... GUEST STAR, ANY ETHNICITY
[JAMAIL] Legal 18 to play 15, Iraqi, intelligent and kind, this boy is Nikki's contact while in Iraq. A sweet kid, he is delighted to see Nikki, happy to help with her investigation. We later learn it was his father who had helped save the life of Nikki's brother, a Marine who has spent time in Iraq... GUEST STAR (47) MUST SPEAK FLUENT ARABIC AND ENGLISH
[MARINE CAPTAIN JOHN RANKIN] Early 30s, handsome, physically fit, he is a real estate investor, worth millions. A real success story and a good man, he is a reserve officer, currently serving in Iraq. He is murdered, and the killing is made to appear as a random mortar attack...MUST BE ABLE TO PLAY BASKETBALL, MUST BE WILLING TO LAY NAKED ON AN AUTOPSY TABLE, MARINE HAIRCUT REQUIRED
[HAMIDA] 30s to 50s, an Iraqi janitor in Baghdad, she is able to communicate with Nikki about her co-worker who has gone missing... POSSIBLE GUEST STAR, MUST SPEAK FLUENT ARABIC
[IRAQI WOMAN] Late 40s to 60s, this frightened, older Iraqi woman is wailing about her missing son, terrified that he will be murdered... MUST SPEAK SOME ARABIC
[TWO IRAQI MILITIAMEN] 20s to 40s, unshaven, nervous and intense, these men are keeping watch and protecting their homes and neighborhoods... MUST SPEAK SOME ARABIC
[NURSE] 20s to 30s, female, this kindly nurse in a veteran's hospital tells Nikki that her brother, who is in a coma, is the "same as ever."... ANY ETHNICITY
[TABINA] 9-13 years old, Iraqi, adorably cute and shy, this little girl throws her arms around Nikki to show her appreciation... SOME ARABIC PREFERABLE
