It\u2019s not just another investigation gone sideways \u2014 it\u2019s war. The visuals hint that the squad\u2019s not just facing a criminal mastermind but something far bigger.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"1466\" data-end=\"1508\"><strong data-start=\"1470\" data-end=\"1508\">McGee\u2019s Desperate Face Says It All<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1510\" data-end=\"1722\">There\u2019s a blink-and-you-miss-it moment where Timothy McGee looks genuinely shaken.
