The good guys will band together on the next episode of "NCIS: New Orleans" season 4.

Fans of the show will see NCIS Special Agent Dwayne Pride (Scott Bakula) and his group combines their resources with the director of FBI, Raymond Isler (Derek Webster), to find a missing asset.

The third episode, titled "The Asset," will find the law enforcement agencies managing to get custody of an asset who could provide them with vital information about the location of sleeper agents embedded in the United States. Unfortunately, the situation will become complicated when the Navy personnel assigned to the asset is found murdered.

According to the teaser trailer for the upcoming episode of "NCIS: New Orleans," the special agents will also be looking into a road accident. Based on the promo video, it seems like there's more the road mishap as the special agents look deeper into the crash site.

The same trailer shows Isler, who is seen looking at his computer screen with other agents and is presumed to be aiding the team in locating the missing asset. On the other hand, Pride responds to what looks like a hit-and-run incident and his suspicion is quickly aroused after telling the officers who also responded to the incident that this was no accident.

The couple of unrelated events seems to link to their big mission of the locating the missing asset. Finding the asset could prove to be tricky, but the special agents have discovered a strong lead. Agent Tammy Gregorio (Vanessa Ferlito) will be essential to the group's success in the upcoming episode.

From the synopsis that was released for "NCIS: New Orleans" season 4 episode 3, Tammy will get in touch with a former sleeper agent named Eva Azarova (Cassidy Freeman). Aside from just being a sleeper agent, Eva might be an integral factor to the team in finding the missing asset since it's a childhood friend.

"NCIS: New Orleans" season 4 airs every Tuesday at 10 p.m. EDT on CBS.
