Is Seamus Dever’s LaRoche a corrupt bureaucrat in NCIS?
While Seamus Dever’s LaRoche appeared to be a corrupt bureaucrat in NCIS, he had his own reasons.
Agent McGee had his doubts about LaRoche for a long time and tried his best to prove that the Deputy Director was a mole. He even imagined LaRoche trying to kill him. McGee’s suspicions increased when he saw LaRoche leaving the office without security despite being the target of a hitman. Later, he saw LaRoche shooting someone, but he was hit by a vehicle before he could confront him. McGee’s team refused to believe him and advised him to stop chasing LaRoche.
Soon, Kasie found a connection between the shooting of the party supply truck and the person shot by LaRoche. She found out that LaRoche’s victim was Jason Meeks, whose body was eventually discovered. Despite his job being at stake, McGee continued his pursuit to expose LaRoche. However, LaRoche saved his life and tried to explain his side of the story.
LaRoche was revealed to be working undercover to burn Special Agent Nick Torres’ cover, becoming a mole for the Nexus cartel. As a result, LaRoche became the NCIS Deputy Director to blow Torres’s cover with the Nexus cartel, willingly becoming the corrupt bureaucrat as the replacement mole.
