[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for FBI: International Season 4 Episode 8 “You’ll Never See It Coming.”]
We’ve got to confess: We each do and don’t see the ending of this episode coming. Going into the FBI: Worldwide fall finale, we have now a sense it will be a tricky one for Wes (Jesse Lee Soffer), with the person chargeable for his former companion’s demise, Greg Csonka (Beau Knapp), on trial, however because the episode goes on, it turns into clear that it’s all constructing to one thing else.
After Csonka beats their star witness to demise (and three different inmates take duty), the Fly Group tries to construct the case towards him. However now Wes must testify, to offer a complete reality sample and full image of Csonka’s crimes. Smitty’s (Eva-Jane Willis) undecided that’s the very best thought, given who’s concerned, however he’s decided to deliver justice to his pal’s title.
Vo (Vinessa Vidotto) and Raines (Carter Redwood) are those to take a seat down with Csonka (who has a bruised proper hand) and his lawyer, Simons. Csonka tries to get underneath Vo’s pores and skin, about nonetheless being partnered with Wes (companions find yourself useless) and taunting the brokers about “the reality” about their boss popping out. Wes insists there’s nothing that can be utilized towards him. However then the protection calls Tyler (Jay Hayden), Wes’ pal now briefly with the Fly Group, to testify, regardless that he wasn’t round when Csonka was arrested.
Simons questions Tyler in regards to the Montrose case, during which Wes shot and killed the primary suspect, one he was “determined” to apprehend. Tyler argues he wasn’t determined. Wes didn’t doc the primary supply. Tyler doesn’t recall that. (Wes later explains to the crew that the supply wouldn’t cooperate in any other case.) Defective info from that supply led to the unlawful capturing by Wes. The prosecutor tries to object. Simons bets Wes wished to shoot and kill Csonka as effectively, blaming him for the homicide of his companion. That is when the decide lastly says sufficient. However Simons’ technique is now clear: impeach Wes’ credibility and, by extension, the case itself.
And sadly, Wes takes the bait when it’s his flip to testify, with Simons asking first about his mom (to point out he’s irredeemably conflicted about Csonka) then his previous in juvie. His dad was despatched to jail when he was 12 for aggravated assault, then his mother overdosed a pair years later. As a minor, Wes was arrested for shoplifting and disorderly conduct—and he and Csonka had been in the identical juvie. Whereas they weren’t there on the similar time, Csonka did have a run-in with certainly one of Wes’ mates and hospitalized him (whereas “defending” himself). Wes says he didn’t know he was accountable, however Simons scoffs. Simons then asks how his mom received cash for medication, questioning if there have been a number of guys hanging round. That’s when Wes stands and addresses Csonka, warning him if he needs to make it private, it received’t go effectively for him. Simons calls {that a} menace. After, he information a movement to dismiss—and the prosecution received’t attraction if Csonka’s not convicted.
Simons presents a deal throughout which Csonka continues to taunt Vo (worrying us): six months, time served, for aiding and abetting the acquiring of a vacationer visa underneath false pretenses. They should show that he killed the witness, and they also comply with the cash to the jail guard he paid off to have him delivered to his cell. Whereas ready to deliver him in, Tyler lets Wes know that he’s up for no matter it takes to ensure Csonka goes down. However Wes says they’re not like that. (Uh-oh, one thing’s clearly going to occur to vary his thoughts.)
The Fly Group does ultimately get to Csonka’s bagman, who shoots himself as they arrive to deliver him in. However they’ve all his paperwork (the account ledger, his laptop computer) and use that to bluff Csonka into considering that his worker gave him up. With that, he confesses to every part, together with the homicide of Wes’ companion. The brand new deal may have him serving 30 years in a jail in Hungary. As they set out for the switch, Wes reminds Csonka of how he talked although when he arrested him and mentioned he’d discover him and he’d by no means see it coming. Effectively, he did (Csonka in chains) and if he’s round 30 years from now and nonetheless needs to come back discover him, Wes will probably be ready.
However through the transport, a truck T-bones one of many vehicles and through the ensuing shootout, Csonka escapes in a automobile. Wes and Vo comply with, however once they catch as much as him and are attempting to deliver him in, Vo is shot from behind—and it’s dangerous. Csonka escapes as Wes tries to cease the bleeding and requires an ambulance. By the point she will get to the hospital, she’s misplaced a number of blood and her vitals are dropping.
Wes and Raines are visibly upset on the hospital, the place the previous leaves the latter to relay updates. And so Raines is the one who finds out that Vo is in surgical procedure; the bullet fractured her collar bone and hit the subclavian vein and they should do a vein graft with out doing further harm.
In the meantime, Wes, Tyler, and Smitty observe Csonka all the way down to farmland he’d bought; it has a defunct airstrip, and he’s already taken off in a airplane by the point they get there. He’s additionally left a notice: “You’ll by no means see it coming.” That’s when Raines calls them to the hospital.
Vo was in surgical procedure and shedding a number of blood, and so they had been fixing it, however then one thing went improper and she or he went into shock. “It doesn’t look good,” he reveals. Wes steps apart, and when Tyler joins him, the Fly Group chief checks, “No matter I would like, proper? … We’re going to go discover Csonka. I promise you that. And after we do, we’re taking our badges off.” Tyler’s with him.
However how far will Wes go? Will Vo survive? Tell us what you suppose will occur subsequent within the feedback part beneath.
