In JAG season 4 episode 10, entitled "The Black Jet," the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) team is called to investigate the suspicious death of a Navy pilot during a training exercise. The pilot, Lt. Peter Quinn, was flying a secret jet known as the Black Jet when his plane went down in the desert, and the NCIS team is tasked with discovering what led to the crash.
The team quickly discovers that the Black Jet was a highly classified project that was only known to a select few, and the investigation into Lt. Quinn's death leads them down a dangerous path of deception and betrayal. When they discover evidence that suggest the plane was sabotaged, the team realize that they are dealing with someone who is willing to go to great lengths to ensure the project's secrecy.
As they continue to investigate, they meet resistance from higher-ups who are determined to keep the details of the project hidden from the public. However, the NCIS team refuses to give up and their persistence ultimately pays off when they uncover a shocking conspiracy that threatens national security.
Meanwhile, Commander Harmon "Harm" Rabb and Lieutenant Colonel Sarah "Mac" MacKenzie are tasked with defending a Marine accused of stealing classified equipment from a secure facility. As they work to clear the Marine's name, they uncover evidence that suggests he may have been framed, which only adds to the overall mystery surrounding the Black Jet project.
Throughout the episode, tensions run high as the NCIS team and JAG lawyers race against the clock to uncover the truth before it's too late. As the investigation comes to a close, the team is left with a deeper understanding of the lengths some will go to in order to protect classified information, and the devastating consequences that can result from such actions.
