With Dandridge attempting to dismantle the Fly Workforce and ship Forrester again to the US, and with the introduction of a brand new group member, this episode was crammed with rigidity from begin to end. However it’s clear that Forrester just isn’t going to be pressured out with no combat.
The episode opens with a basketball group having a apply. Following the apply, we see the gamers on a bus in Belgrade, Serbia. The group is consuming and partying on the bus, however one participant, Bryan Moncrief, is sitting quietly and a promoter, Milos Zoran, approaches and says he can get them different “celebration favors” if they need, and he tells him to not say that. They arrive at a membership, and one participant, Derrin Vaughn, is approached by a lady, Derrin’s fiancé Cici Pryor. They’ve a heated dialog after which the gamers head on to the following membership which is a strip membership and Derrin goes to a personal space with a dancer. Bryan tries to go test on him and is stopped by a bouncer. He punches the bouncer and finds Derrin collapsed and he begins CPR and yells for them to name an ambulance.
It’s clear from their previous relationship that Jamie is aware of Scott very nicely, as she calls him out about one thing being up with him. Clearly Scott has determined to not inform the group but about what Dandridge has finished, maybe as a result of he doesn’t need to distract or fear them. Having seen the kind of chief Forrester has grown into over the previous season, this definitely is not any shock. Forrester, Raines and Kellett all get a shock although after they go to the workplace and there’s a new agent within the workplace. Dandridge is there and he introduces Zoey McKenna, and he says she has simply completed an undercover project with narcotics and will probably be rotating with them for a bit. She tells them she is there to assist with no matter they want.
Forrester speaks to Dandridge privately and tells him he has no authority to usher in a brand new agent with out consulting him however Dandridge brings up that Scott is leaving, to which he bites again that he doesn’t report back to him. Clearly it looks as if there’s another ulterior motive behind these actions however Dandridge says that is coming from the highest and it’s best for his profession for Forrester to know that is occurring. He tells him he has every week and if he retains it collegial he’ll maintain the opposite members of the Fly Workforce regardless of who they create in to switch him, but when he digs in his heels he’ll break up them up. He palms Scott paperwork and tells him he must signal it and return it asap. This certainly should be inflicting nice battle for Scott. Because the chief he’s, he would need to preserve the protection of the roles of his group, however he additionally desires to combat to remain. Preserving the state of affairs underneath wraps to maintain the group from worrying additionally provides one other layer to his stress.
Forrester rejoins the group to go over a brand new case. Derrin Vaughn, a participant for a Lithuanian Euro-league group, was in Belgrade with the group and his agent, Josh Bing, for a recreation. After Derrin was having his bachelor celebration and went into cardiac arrest at a strip membership. Different members of his crew assume he might have been drugged on the membership. Additionally they are stating that Bryan Moncrief brandished a knife and threatened the workers on the membership and resisted arrest. He’s additionally being held in Belgrade. The group discusses the league they’re in, which may have two People per group most, and so they talk about Vaughn and his path to taking part in in Europe. Kellett mentions that Belgrade is just like the Vegas of jap Europe so it isn’t stunning Vaughn would need to have his bachelor celebration there after the sport.
Smitty additionally tells them the native police welcomes their involvement. Scott asks Zoey why she is there, and he or she says she is there to study and contribute. Due to their data of a few of the different international locations the place they’ve labored earlier than, they’re involved about having the know-how they should correctly examine so Vo is requested to remain behind to help from Budapest.
The group heads to Belgrade, Serbia and meet Lieutenant Mirko Obradovic. He exhibits them to the world they will work, however just isn’t certain about if the computer systems even have web entry. Kellett asks about Moncrief and Obradovic says he was moved to the detention cells as a result of he was inflicting a disturbance with the quantity of his voice, however he may have him moved again to allow them to communicate to him. He additionally tells Forrester and Kellett that simply because they rating at basketball, they don’t seem to be getting any particular consideration as a result of there are not any celeb reductions in Serbia. Kellett affords to pair up with McKenna to assist train her and so they go to research on the strip membership.
Smitty and Raines go to the hospital to get an replace from the Workforce physician and Heart specialist. They allow them to know that Vaughn retains slipping right into a harmful arrhythmia that they might want to deal with surgically with a cardiac ablation as a result of the medicines they’re giving will not be working. Smitty asks if the arrhythmia might be attributable to him being slipped a roofie on the membership, however the group physician says Derrin had a pre-existing coronary heart situation referred to as Wolf Parkinson White, which makes him in danger for arrhythmias. The group supervisor was conscious of the situation however he was cleared to play as a result of he has no lively signs. The group physician says he can not say what occurred on the membership as a result of he was not there and to ask Vaughn’s agent, however a roofie drug would sluggish his coronary heart fee, not velocity it up which is what occurred. The heart specialist says they’re ready on the toxicology report and they’ll allow them to know the outcomes.
Raines and Smitty meet Josh Bing and his fiancé Cici within the ready room, and so they talk about that Derrin’s coronary heart situation was saved quiet and it was the rationale he got here to play in Lithuania, as a result of some NBA medical doctors had discovered it on a bodily. Cici tells them that Derrin’s dream was to work his method to the NBA and there was no approach he would have taken medicine to jeopardize that. Kellett asks Cici about their heated dialog and he or she says they’d a dialog, not a confrontation, as a result of he referred to as off the marriage attributable to a lie somebody informed him, however nonetheless went on to have his bachelor celebration, so she needed to ensure he knew he had all of it flawed. Josh appears most involved that phrase of Derrin’s coronary heart situation not get out to the media, and Raines feedback that he’s certain PR just isn’t his greatest concern proper now. It’s clear to the viewer that there’s rigidity between Cici and Josh, however they by no means absolutely discover the place it comes from.
Kellett takes McKenna together with her and asks her about if she requested to be on the Fly Workforce or did Dandridge assign her, and he or she says a little bit of each. Kellett asks if the group must be involved about Dandridge and he or she says not that she is aware of of. Kellett tells McKenna that earlier than the Fly Workforce she was with the BAU (Behavioural Evaluation Unit) and that she is aware of she just isn’t authentically telling the reality. This was such an incredible scene as it’s only pure to be suspicious of anybody Dandridge brings in, and this solely reinforces how astute Jamie is at her job, and that she is a power to be reckoned with.
They go to the membership and meet Vlado Popov, and he says Derrin began freaking out due to no matter medicine he took and the Moncrief was attempting to behave like a thug till he was confirmed flawed. They ask the place the knife is that Moncrief threatened them with and Popov says considered one of his mates in all probability grabbed it from the ground. They ask about safety footage, however he says there’s none, and so they ask to talk to the dancer who was with Vaughn, and Popov says the place is protected. That is our first probability to see McKenna in motion and he or she appears to carry her personal relating to questioning witnesses and suspects, which solely bodes nicely for her and her future with the Fly Workforce.
Scott goes to talk to Bryan Moncrief, and he asks about Derrin. He asks if there’s something he desires to inform him that’s not in his assertion to Lt. Obradovic and Bryan says he didn’t have a knife and he didn’t make any threats. He says that he thinks the membership is attempting to border him, as a result of they fought again after they tried to roll on them, and if the officer places palms on him once more he’ll combat again, and Scott says that’s not a good suggestion. Scott then will get a name and tells Bryan there have been problems and Derrin didn’t make it. Moncrief breaks down in tears. It was clear from this dialog that Scott believes Bryan, and units out to show he didn’t do what he’s being charged for.
On the station, they ask Obradovic if the strip membership is protected and he says sure and after they ask by who he says folks he should take care of lengthy after they go away. Smitty tells him that he will help them or she is asking Europol and he tells her to name whoever she needs and he or she goes to make a name. This was such an incredible scene the place we actually noticed Smitty be keen to ruffle some feathers if it means attending to the reality, and there’s no query why she is such an incredible alternative for Katrin this season. It’s fantastic to see them creating robust feminine characters once more on this collection like now we have seen in lots of different Wolf productions. Vo calls the group to inform them she discovered quite a few complaints towards the promoter who ran the bachelor celebration, Milos Zoran. He had dropped intoxicated passengers off on the finish of a pub crawl and so they had been all robbed. Kellett and McKenna go to take a look at the promoter as Obradovic will get a telephone name.
Smitty approaches Scott and says she is listening to issues about him and the Fly Workforce from her Europol contacts. She asks whether it is true and he says he doesn’t know and he is aware of that they’re all a telephone name away from being despatched on their subsequent project and he or she says it might be a disgrace if that had been true as a result of she requested for the switch to work with him once more as a result of he’s the most effective agent she has ever encountered. This was a really honest second between these two characters but it surely poses the query about what their previous relationship entailed. We nonetheless have but to dig deeply into their earlier work collectively and we are able to solely hope that is foreshadowing for the long run. Obradovic comes over and apologizes to Smitty for any miscommunication and says the division will assist in any approach they want.
Kellet and McKenna go to Milos Zoran’s workplace and he says everybody had their enjoyable and acquired their cash’s value, and relating to what occurred on the strip membership that he’s a celebration promoter and never a babysitter. They inform him Derrin Vaughn is useless and if somebody was concerned, issues will get unhealthy for him and he says he was within the parking zone in his celebration van and noticed nothing. They mentioned they know he has had complaints filed towards him and when he denies it McKenna says Kellett is educated in lie detection. On this scene it was clear that already Zoey is studying how one can play off of her group members, and that maybe she might have some expertise as an agent. Obradovic is available in and Milos tries to inform him that the women are harassing him and he tells Zoran to inform them what he is aware of. Zoran asks Obradovic if he is aware of what’s concerned in doing that and he says sure. Zoran tells them that he has a deal in place with some native mobsters in that membership to drop off drunk vacationers and though he has no direct data of it, he believes they’re charged money or bank card expenses and even presumably generally drugged.
The group raids the membership and make some arrests and whereas there McKenna will get a telephone name Kellett is suspicious of who it was from. Scott and Megan query Vlado and he tells them that sure vacationers have been taken benefit of however not one of the males from final night time. He says he even informed the dancers personally as a result of they’re celebrities. Scott asks if perhaps a bouncer or dancer went forward with out his approval however he says that may not occur. They ask for a listing of all the staff and dancers and he agrees to provide it to them. Scott asks if Moncrief actually had a knife and Vlado says no, and in addition confirms that he didn’t threaten to kill anybody. Scott will get Moncrief out of jail and he asks him if he knew Derrin had a coronary heart situation and he mentioned no, and Scott says only a few folks knew. Bryan says it was exhausting on Derrin at first as a result of he didn’t really feel he was dwelling as much as his potential, and he felt he had an opportunity on the NBA sooner or later.
Kellett tells Scott that McKenna is getting a variety of telephone calls off to the aspect and Forrester tells her that he’s being transferred out. He tells her to maintain it underneath wraps till they get again to Budapest. This was an incredible demonstration of the belief Scott has in Jamie, as a result of this one thing extraordinarily vital, and he tells her earlier than anybody else. Raines comes to inform the group that the toxicology is again and there have been no roofies in Derrin’s system however there was 30 gms of Adderall and that was greater than sufficient to set off his coronary heart situation and whoever did it, it was homicide.
They speak about who knew about Vaughn’s coronary heart situation, and it was his fiancé, agent, coach and group physician. There have been additionally footage posted on social media. Vaughn’s mother is the beneficiary of his life insurance coverage coverage and his fiancé can be named.
Raines and Smitty interview Cici and ask concerning the belief. They inform her they’re attempting to remove her as a suspect however with him lacking out on an NBA contract, he was value extra useless than alive. Smitty brings up that he broke it off together with her and he or she confronted him on the membership and will have slipped one thing into his drink, however she responds by saying she didn’t put something in his drink or ask anybody else too.
McKenna mentioned her latest UC project concerned needed to do with artificial medicine and he didn’t have Adderall in his system, it was Dextroamphetamine which hit tougher and you may solely get a prescription for it in Europe in Switzerland. The group coach Noah Muller is from Switzerland. Forrester takes McKenna with him to talk to the group. She asks him if he knew about Derrin’s coronary heart situation and he mentioned no, solely the group physician knew about it. They then threaten name to get all of the data for his telephone data and expenses on the group card, and he tells them he was requested to get 30 mg of Dextroamphetamine by Bryan Moncrief. It was fascinating to observe the dynamics between Forrester and McKenna, as they labored to interview the suspect collectively. Scott clearly was attempting to provide her some latitude and see how she would carry out and he or she appears to do an incredible job with conducting the interview.
They go to apply to talk to Bryan and he doesn’t need to communicate to Obradovic so Scott tells Mirko to hold again. They inform Bryan they’re going to communicate with him privately. He says he wouldn’t slip medicine into Derrin’s drink. They ask about a variety of calls between him and Cici. They ask why he acquired the Dextroamphetamine and he says he didn’t ask for it and he’s being arrange. Obradovic brings in a bottle of Dextroamphetamine and says they discovered it in his gymnasium bag and Moncrief says it’s a arrange. He says it isn’t his and he would by no means do something to Derrin. Forrester says that Obradovic wants to ensure Bryan is handled pretty whereas in custody and that they want extra proof and needs the bottle finger printed however Obradovic says that their job is finished and he’s handing the case over to the prosecutors. Raines says that there isn’t a approach the medicine are Moncreif’s as a result of they mentioned they discovered it in his gymnasium bag however Moncrief is from East St Louis and if he had drugged Vaughn there isn’t a approach he would have saved the homicide weapon round, and the bottle should have been planted by somebody.
Obradovic tells them to wrap it up. Kellett has finished some analysis into the basketball group and suggests they take a look at Bogdon Vidmar, who performed Vaughn’s place earlier than he was on the group and is now on the bench, and he additionally had entry to Derrin’s drink that night time. Raines tells them that Bogdon and Muller labored on the identical Greek group a number of years in the past and Bogdon even went to Muller’s marriage ceremony.
Kellett and Smitty usher in Muller and ask him for a proper assertion, and he’s fearful about lacking the group bus however they inform him it will likely be 5 minutes tops. They then usher in one other participant and put Bogdon within the ready space with him. Muller approaches Bogdon however he says for them to not communicate in there and as they go exterior, the group loses audio.
We’re then in a position to as soon as once more see Raines technical prowess after they faucet into Mullers telephone and are in a position to hear a part of the dialog and pay attention in. The group comes out and arrests them each.
Scott goes in to talk to Muller and exhibits him an image of his household and says to assist them as a result of if Vidmar confesses first it’s over for him. I believe this actually exhibits how efficient Scott is when he’s conducting interviews, as a result of he appears to have a approach of realizing precisely how one can get contained in the interviewee to be keen to reveal the data they want. Muller tells him that the group has drug assessments as soon as a month and the plan was to slide Vaughn one thing to get him to fail the take a look at so Bogdon would get again on the roster and they didn’t find out about his coronary heart situation.
McKenna tells Forrester she appreciates them together with her and he or she was afraid they’d freeze her out, however he says that’s not his model.
Smitty offers Derrin’s watch again to Cici and he or she notices that it says BHITW on the again – Cici says it stands for greatest coronary heart on the planet. Smitty holds her as she cries, and this was such an incredible alternative to see the softer and caring aspect of Megan Garretson and what a giant coronary heart she has.
Scott goes to see Bryan, and tells him that they discovered the true particular person answerable for drugging Derrin. Bryan says he talked to Derrin about folks all the time wanting your spot and that your angle needed to be come and take it. It appears that evidently Scott takes Moncrief’s advise to coronary heart as a result of after they return to Budapest, Scott takes the folder to Dandridge and it isn’t signed. Scott says he isn’t leaving and that he’s not going with no combat.
Clearly with how he threatened to interrupt aside the group at the start of the episode, this was a really dangerous transfer, however Scott just isn’t ready to surrender his management and friendships on the Fly Workforce, whatever the potential value to him and his profession. Now that could be a devoted group chief.
