In tonight’s FBI Internation episode, someone murdered an American porn king in Prague. Llyod Eckersley was overseas because he was wanted back in the United States for human trafficking and for extortion. He tricked young women that were usually from the age eighteen to nineteen into doing sexual acts they didn’t agree on in exchange for selling them to private collectors overseas, but then he would threaten to send these videos to their families if they didn’t cooperate and it went on like this until a woman died.
She killed herself. It led to an investigation and that’s when everything came out. Eckersley and his partner Fred Dobbins were tried in absentia because they both went on the run. They came to Prague.
A beautiful city whose police department is woefully under budget. Eckersley tried to start up the porn business again while in the country and he was shot by someone twice in the groin. It killed him. The women he was working with had then taken the opportunity to escape while they could and so they were seen fleeing from the scene right after gunshots rang out. A delivery guy called it in.
The police came and they found Eckersley. It was too late to send him to prison, but his partner Dobbins was still out there and he was still a wanted man. Dobbins and Eckersley were close. If Eckersley was in the city that meant so was Dobbins. Special Agent Forester and his team were brought in to bring Dobbins to justice.
The first place they went looking was with Eckersley’s newest associates. The guys were apparently aware of the two men being wanted by the Americans and they were resisting helping them because they thought the two guys had been screwed by the American justice system. They claimed that those women who were tricked were adults who knew what they were doing.
They weren’t helpful and they weren’t afraid of the same person who killed Eckersley. But Forrester and his team did find a suspect in Eckersley’s murder. They found Jim Clancy. Clancy was the father of the young woman who killed herself and he was also a cop back in Oklahoma. He’s had training. He knows how to use a gun and he bought a ticket five hours before he boarded a plane.
It was clear Clancy was the killer. They didn’t have any way of proving so or arresting him because it was also clear he was still in the country looking for Dobbs, but the FBI later got a tip. They found the two women that Eckersley was working with right before death and one of the women knew where Dobbins was. But she refused to talk without being paid first.
The FBI eventually got what they needed anyways and they later found Dobbins. They arrested him. They asked him about Clancy and he admitted the father wasn’t as bad as the sister. The late Kayla Clancy has a sister Ella and Ella was struggling with her sister’s death just as much as her father. Ella was also backpacking through Europe and she has experience with a gun.
Ella posted a photo of herself at a gun range with the words “practice makes perfect”. The FBI came to believe that Ella was the one who killed Eckersley and that she must have told her father. It’s why he rushed to come to Prague. He’s looking for a daughter and he’s trying not to lose the only child he has left. But he can’t her protect from the repercussions. Both Forrester and Jamie had heard his heartbreak and it affected Jamie. They got word from him where his daughter was hiding and Jamie made sure to reach Ella first. She told Ella to hide her bag behind trash cans. She wanted to hide the murder weapon. Jamie also spoke with Jim Clancy again and she managed to talk him into confessing to the crime.
Jamie knew what she was doing. She knowingly did so because she was trying to protect Ella and she managed to make Jim Clancy aware of that. Clancy is claiming that he and Eckersley fought over the gun. He’s going to be charged with manslaughter. He will face two years in prison and the only thing he asked for was to see his daughter before he’s taken away. Clancy assured his daughter that everything will be alright. Ella hugged him and then they were separated. But Forrester knew what Jamie did. He couldn’t prove it, but he knew. He told Jamie to make sure that her priorities aligned with the job and so Jamie took him up on a suggestion from a few days ago. She told him she was going to take time off.
Jamie later met up with Ella. Ella was heading to Norway with the bag she recovered and she was going to spread her sister’s ashes in Norway. It turns out that Kayla only did what she did to save up enough money to visit Norway and so her sister wants to honor that by bringing Kayla there for her final resting place.
THE END!
