FBI: International Season 4 Episode 2 Recap
At the beginning of the episode, Supervisory Special Agent Wesley “Wes” Mitchell gets used to being in charge of the Fly Team. Unfortunately, Wes has to act quickly when an important case comes up: armed gunmen take U.S. Ambassador Coates hostage during a live TV interview in the Netherlands. He is still trying to earn the respect of his team. The masked gunmen demand 40 million euros and a helicopter to help them get away, but it’s not clear why they want these things.
Tensions rise, and Wes gets into a power struggle with both the Diplomatic Protection Service and the local police. Everyone wants a part of the action, but Wes is determined to stay in charge and put the safety of the hostages first. Quick work by the Fly Team lets them quickly figure out that one of the masked gunmen is Frank Bergkamp, who works for the notorious Dutch crime boss Clemens Anholts. Anholts is in jail for killing his American girlfriend, and it turns out that the hostage situation isn’t just about getting money; it’s also about stopping Anholts from being sent back to the U.S.
As the Fly Team learns more about the real plan, they realize that Anholts and Bergkamp want to get into Ambassador Coates’ phone to find Mila Meyer— a 14-year-old girl who is a key witness in Anholts’ murder case. Mila, who has been hiding — saw Anholts’ girlfriend get brutally killed and the criminals will do anything to get rid of her.
In a nail-biting scene, Wes has to race against the clock to get to Mila in time to save her from an assassin. Her whole security team is killed, and only Wes saves her. But the threat is far from over. The killer is still after Wes and Mila, who are running away. Wes won’t leave her behind, even though he’s hurt from a fight on the train earlier. He stays in touch with his team through a burner phone.
When Wes hides in a house to treat his wounds, things get even worse when the killer finds them again. When there is a fight, Mila bravely distracts the killer long enough for Wes to get the upper hand and kill him. The Fly Team shows up just in time to save Wes and Mila from the chaos.
Now that Mila is no longer in immediate danger, she is put in U.S. witness protection and will stay there until she testifies against Anholts. At the end of the episode, Anholts is sent back to the U.S., where he is sent to prison for life because his plan to silence Mila completely failed.
Not only does Wes make it through his first mission as team leader. he also saves Mila from certain death. Mila is getting ready to start a new life with her cousins in Minnesota and the episode ends on a hopeful note. Her testimony will help bring Anholts to justice. Another dangerous mission is over, and the Fly Team must now get ready for whatever danger comes next.
