In tonight’s FBI episode a sniper hit a charity hockey match. ICE Special Agent Mike Mulder was killed in the shooting. He was the only one killed at what was considered a mass shooting event and the fact the others were just hit or injured had led the FBI into believing Mulder was the target all along. He was considered a federal agent. His death became a priority for the FBI. It also didn’t hurt that Mulder was killed during a conversation with a congressman.

A very racist congressman who of course asked OA where his family was from. But the congressman did prove useful because he brought cameras with him. The footage of the shooting was caught on tape and the FBI collected them. The FBI also tracked down the bullet used in the shooting.

The bullets pulled out of Mulder were custom sniper bullets. ATF had a program in which they traveled around the country cataloging bullet makers and so it wasn’t long before they found the person who made the bullets to kill Mulder. His name was Jim Weaver. He had a place in the city and the FBI sent out two agents to talk to him.

When they first approached Weaver, he hadn’t wanted to help them. It took them threatening him with a ten thousand dollar fine for filing off a serial number on one of his guns to get him to talk. He kept records of every bullet he ever sold with the name of the customer all written out.

Weaver handed over those files to the FBI. They tracked down a credible suspect and when they went to go arrest him – this guy fled. He fled on his motorcycle. It took a while to track him down again. The FBI later caught up to him at a factory. They arrested him and he was in custody denying he was the shooter when another shooting happened.

This time an immigration judge was killed. Therefore, the man they had wasn’t their guy. They were actually looking for a spree killer. Someone who probably thought they were on a mission by killing these people. The federal judge was Judge Teresa Alvarez.

The FBI spoke with the judge’s clerk. He said that they weren’t even supposed to be there. Alvarez got called in on a last-minute deportation trial and she just found out about it that morning. The shooter must have been following her in order to find out where she was. This showed a strong motivation. Too strong for some average joe to pull off.

Jubal and his team investigated a link between the judge and the federal agent killed. It seems that they both played a part in deporting a couple. A couple that had been in this country for twenty-seven years until they got a speeding ticket and made it onto a list.

This was when Mulder and his guys arrested the couple. They put into detainment and unfortunately they were later assigned to an ultra-conservative judge. The judge sent them back to El Salvador where they were later murdered by MS-13. But their son stayed in the United States. Oscar Rodriguez works with computers and so he sent emails to the people he felt responsible for his parents’ deaths. The emails carried viruses that allowed him to track them as well as their schedules. Oscar was also the boyfriend of the guy they arrested earlier. The one they thought was a suspect until a shooting cleared him.

The FBI spoke with Brad Barnes again. They asked him about Oscar. He said he noticed one of his guns was missing and that’s why he ran when the FBI came to his door. He didn’t help Oscar plan this. Only he knew it would look that way. Barnes turned on Oscar. He tried to give the FBI as much information as he could and so they tracked Oscar’s movements. They found out he sent another bogus email to Congressman Curtis Grange. Grange used his platform as well as footage from the shooting to denounce immigrant. He even called immigrants “animals”. The FBI went to go warn Grange about being on a hit list when Oscar took a shot at him.

Oscar only managed to hit Grange in the arm. But everyone knew he would try again. they put the congressman in protective detail and they asked him to stay inside. Something he ignored. The congressman still wanted to go to a fundraising lunch with his biggest donors. He refused to reschedule because he said he couldn’t look weak in such a crowd and so the FBI gave him a script. They told him to stay behind the bulletproof glass. He also had to wear a bulletproof vest. Grange agreed to these conditions and then he later broke them. He came from behind the glass. It was just a moment only it was long enough for Oscar to kill him.

The congressman’s son blamed OA for what happened. OA was running point on the case. He was supposed to keep the congressman safe and he failed. The FBI were able to track down Oscar but right as they were going to grab him, he grabbed a hostage. He took her into an empty laundromat. He demanded a plane. They brought in Barnes to talk to him. To try and get him to give himself in. Oscar refused and they later had to kill him to free the hostage.

Oscar blamed the immigration system for killing his parents. Funnily enough, Grange blamed the same system for an immigrant killing his wife and so the two had more in common than they thought.

At the end of all this, OA gave Grange’s son an application to the FBI. He told the young man to let that be his motivation to getting justice and setting everything right.

THE END!
