FBI: Most Wanted

FBI: International is an American crime television series that airs on CBS. It is the second spin-off from Dick Wolf's drama FBI and the third series in the FBI franchise. The series following a team of FBI agents who investigate crime and terrorism abroad. FBI: International premiered on September 21, 2021 and a full season was ordered in October 2021.

In May 2022, CBS renewed the series for a second and third season.[1]

Premise

The series follows members of the FBI's international "Fly Team", elite operatives headquartered in Budapest who locate and neutralize threats against American interests around the world.[2][3] The team is led by Scott Forrester, a tough and grizzled FBI agent; Jamie Kellett, a career FBI agent and second in command; Andre Raines, a young but highly intelligent agent with expertise in accounting; and Cameron Vo, an interrogation expert who is the newest team member, having formerly been a field agent in the Seattle FBI office. Assisting the team is Katrin Jaeger, a veteran Europol agent from Germany who helps the team navigate political and linguistic barriers.

In addition to facing a wide array criminal and terroristic threats, the Fly Team must also contend with the practical and legal challenges of operating in foreign jurisdictions, ranging from uneasy partnerships with foreign law enforcement to restrictions on using firearms.[4] The show's international flavor is meant to juxtapose it with the vast majority of American police procedural shows, which take place almost exclusively in the United States.[5]

Cast

  • Luke Kleintank as Scott Forrester. An FBI Supervisory Special Agent and head of the International Fly Team.[6]
  • Heida Reed as Jamie Kellett. An FBI Special Agent who is the team's second-in-command.[6]
  • Carter Redwood as Andre Raines. An FBI Special Agent on the team with a background in accounting.[6]
  • Vinessa Vidotto as Cameron Vo. An FBI Special Agent, she is a West Point grad who is the team's newest member.[6]
  • Christiane Paul as Katrin Jaeger. A multilingual Europol agent from Germany who acts as a liaison for the team.[6]
  • Green as Tank. A black Giant Schnauzer trained in Schutzhund and retired cadaver dog that obeys Scott Forrester's commands.[6]

FBI: International premiered on September 21, 2021;[11] a full season was ordered on October 11, 2021.[12]

The Commissar wants to pump poison gas into air conditioning system and raid the theater, like the Russians did in the Moscow theater hostage crisis, despite Forrester reminding him of the high number of casualties. Forrester and his team get 10 minutes to enter to rescue the hostages, and they manage it only seconds before the Commissar would have given the order to release the gas.

Then the team is called to Northern Ireland, where one of Kellet's informants, a man called Walsh, has been arrested in connection to the murder of a policewoman. He claims innocence from the killing and offers information on an IRA gun-smuggling ring. When they visit his ex-wife, they deduce the divorce was a sham for their protection. Forrester and Raines find out the policewoman's partner was corrupt. Turns out Walsh is the ring leader and planned to kill Kellet, but she turns the tables on him by forcing him to choose between her and saving his family. Walsh chooses his family, and him and the ring are arrested. Back in Bulgaria, Forrester lies to protect Kellet from the OPR, but she tells them they should break it off.

Mark tells them he was investigating a woman-trafficking ring and wanted to help a woman called Sabina. His NYPD contact, algo his cousin, tells them Mark lost his pregnant wife in the 11-S.
