'NCIS' season 14 episode 11 spoilers: extended promo teases an agent's death

"NCIS" season 14 will start the year with an intense and emotionally charged episode, "Willoughby," which will put the life of an agent in serious danger.

In this installment, the team will push through Operation: Willoughby, which takes a nightmarish turn. In the words of a very upset Abby (Pauley Perrette), the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) "got duped by a super evil duper."

For their mission in "NCIS" season 14, episode 11, the team was to apprehend a businessman who engages in terrorism to fatten up his pockets and manipulate the stocks.

The promo teases that the agent that the NCIS sent to do the job heads to an airplane as part of the plan. Unfortunately, the same blows up into smithereens.

The next scene in the "NCIS" season 14, episode 11 promo shows a worried Bishop (Emily Wickersham) walking along the stretcher that was being reeled into the emergency room.

On it is an unconscious man fighting for his life. Gibbs (Mark Harmon) and Ducky (David McCallum), wearing nervousness on their faces, can be seen in the "NCIS" season 14, episode 11 promo waiting for the fate of the agent.

There is no way of knowing as to who the agent sent to do the mission is although notable cues from the "NCIS" season 14, episode 11 promo could narrow down the list.

The clip would like fans to worry about Reeves (Duane Henry), Palmer (Brian Dietzen) and even Bishop's boyfriend Qasim (Ravi Silver), who could be the ones sent for the job.

The operation was deemed a "suicide mission" and the man who was tasked to do it is regarded as a hero. That being said, it could be that "NCIS" season 14, episode 11 could end in a possible death.

Whether the NCIS team will be able to catch the businessman they were hoping to arrest, fans can hope that the NCIS will not let the sacrifice of this hero go to waste.

"NCIS" season 14, episode 11, "Willoughby," airs Tuesday, Jan. 3, at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.
