NCIS: Pause at 42 minutes and 20 seconds and watch Michael Weatherly’s (DiNozzo) reaction closely

Fans of the flagship CBS series can’t forget this absolutely terrifying scene! To remind you, in the finale of season 2 of NCIS, the character played by Sasha Alexandra suddenly lost her life by being shot in the head. A tragic death that occurred even as Caitlin “Kate” Todd had just survived the first assassination attempt.

Cruel Death mentioned in Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo’s podcast

But at that moment, and to the great relief of fans, he was wearing a bulletproof vest. Unfortunately, this happened in the final seconds of this episode without considering this major twist. The sequence is so amazing that Michael Weatherly (DiNozzo) and Cote de Pablo (Ziva) mentioned it during the second episode of their podcast called Off Duty, a preview of NCIS that aired a few weeks before the start of the new series they’ll be in. hero.

It must be said that they got Sasha Alexander. Therefore, it is impossible to miss this insatiable moment! DiNozzo’s ability to translate reveals an anecdote that may surprise you: “When you get that attack, I’m right behind you. And if you watch it in slow motion, there’s a little easter egg for the fans at home.”

“jumping ahead”

He explains: “If you look closely, before the dot appears on your head and they were added in post-production, a bag full of fake blood is placed behind you. Larry—our special effects coordinator—explodes and blood runs down my face. It was placed in front of me, and if you look carefully, I jump until the dot appears on your forehead.’

Normally, the scene would probably be reshot. But luckily, Michael Weatherly’s reaction was overlooked enough to remain in the final version of the episode. Still, fans will never forget this sequence because it was so unexpected. If you want to see it for yourself, skip 42 minutes and 20 seconds. You won’t believe it!
