[1] The team captures a master hacker who happens to be second on the most wanted cyberterrorist list and was also responsible for a cyber attack on MTAC which resulted in the death of an undercover agent.
Analyzing the hacker's computer, Ziva and DiNozzo investigate a warehouse and find evidence of a bomb containing the Ebola virus having been built.
In order to get the hacker to talk, Ziva and DiNozzo fly him to Guantanamo Bay detention camp in an effort to intimidate him by placing him with terrorists he had previously betrayed.
It is then revealed that the entire breakout was a ploy; NCIS only tricked the hacker into thinking they were in Guantanamo Bay when they in fact had never left the United States.
