"Driven" -- The NCIS team investigates the death of a Navy Lieutenant who was working on a high level project for the Department of Defense, on a rebroadcast of NCIS, Tuesday, July 3 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.  Dennis Smith directed the episode from a teleplay by Nell Scovell and John C. Kelley from a story by Ric Arthur and John C. Kelley.  (Originally broadcast 12/12/06; previously scheduled for an earlier date)

When a highly classified robotic vehicle called "Otto" causes the death of a Navy Lieutenant, Gibbs and the team initially think the cause of death is suicide.  But when Otto apparently malfunctions and puts Abby's life at risk, the team realizes that the vehicle had been sabotaged and the Lieutenant was murdered.   Meanwhile, Ziva is concerned by Tony's secretive trips to the hospital.
