Absolutely the best segment in ten years of NCIS programming.
Watching Charles Durning interact with the regular NCIS cast in a most unusual story line is so moving that, even knowing the story--in detail now after all these years of watching my DVD set--I still have to ready myself to watch "Call of Silence" every time I start up the DVD player.
Durning was nominated for an Emmy for his role in this segment of NCIS and, though I have never researched the question, it would not surprise me at all to find that he was awarded numerous awards, some from non-film cultural groups, for his role and the great heart he put into it.
Deeply moving, and magnificent. 10 out of 10.
