The victim is identified as a former Navy SEAL who had been working as a security consultant for a wealthy businessman. The team quickly discovers that the victim had a close friend, another former Navy SEAL who had been working with him on the security job.

As the investigation continues, the team learns that the victim and his friend had been involved in a secret mission while serving in Iraq. The mission had gone bad, and the friend had been captured and tortured by insurgents. The victim had helped to rescue him, but not before the friend had suffered severe injuries that left him physically and emotionally scarred.

The team realizes that the friend may be the next target of the killer, as he would be the only one who could identify the killer from their shared past in Iraq. The team works to protect the friend while also trying to track down the killer.

In the end, the team is able to solve the case and bring the killer to justice, but not without confronting the deep wounds left by wartime trauma and the ways in which it can haunt those who have served. The episode ends with the team reflecting on the importance of friendship and the bonds that can survive even the most difficult of circumstances.
