In tonight’s FBI episode, someone murdered a TSA Agent. The victim’s name was Cher Wilkins. The killer also wasn’t alone when they murdered that woman. There were two different sets of footprints found near the body and robbery was ruled out from the beginning. There was nothing stolen from the victim.
The killers left behind a car and her wallet. This death was suspicious. It was given to the FBI who investigated it. The FBI soon learned that the victim had recently begun flashing a lot of money around. Her boss was suspicious because he was of the opinion that whenever a TSA Agent starts throwing money around that it means they agreed to help drug mules and that’s what he told the FBI. He said that Wilkins showed up one day in an expensive car.
A car she couldn’t afford on her own salary. Wilkins was known to always be broke and so she hadn’t been saving her paycheck. She instead claimed that her father died. She told her boss that she came into some money that way and the FBI looked it up. Her father wasn’t dead. He was still alive. He tweeted about his daughter’s death once he had been notified. He, therefore, hadn’t been able to leave money to her in his will and she got her hands on over forty grand of cash by some dishonest means. Her boss had thought it was a drug mule operation. The FBI suspected something else.
They found out that Wilkins bought a flashy car before she died. She also was looking to sell that same car because she needed to repay someone back. Wilkins it seems had gotten involved with someone on the dark web. She made a deal with them. A deal she wanted to back out of. She felt she had to after her boss started to get suspicious of her and so whoever she was in bed with had killed her to keep their secret of what she was doing from getting out. Wilkins thought it was drugs. She let a man through in with a suspicious backpack that she never checked. The FBI found this man. They identified him.
They also brought him in for questioning. Jorge said he got paid five grand to take a bag of what he was told was heroin through the airport. He had taken this bag to Chicago where he left it in the trash right outside the airport. Jorge never looked inside the bag. It had been zip-tied. Jorge was just told it was drugged and that he would be getting five grand. He hasn’t gotten his money yet. But he was supposed to meet up with the man who hired him. Jorge identified the man as Jem Polat. Polat was born in turkey. He was raised in Syria. He came over two years ago on a temporary visa and he’s since opened a restaurant.
OA suspected that another man was involved. A man by the name of Tamir Hazara. Hazara is a terrorist that had supposedly been killed by a drone strike and it was just OA who thought he was still alive. OA and his team back in Afghanistan had hunted this man. They desperately tried to find him and OA lost a friend because of it. It was the tenth anniversary of the death of his friend, Tom. He and his old war buddies would meet up on the anniversary by visiting the grave, grabbing lunch, and wearing a piece of string tied around their fingers. OA, therefore, wasn’t in a clear mindset when he claims he saw Hazara.
Nina had been with him. She talked to him about his late friend. She even saw a glimpse of the terrorist he claims to have seen. She didn’t think he looked like the guy. She thought he was just still grieving. Nina would have left things there if OA had done the same. Only OA kept insisting Hazara was involved. Nina just thought he was risking the real case to build a fabricated one. She went to Jubal about it. She hadn’t asked for anything to outright be said against OA and so she just kept Jubal in the loop. The FBI later learned that Jorge hadn’t been transporting drugs. He was transporting a bomb.
They got it after Jorge was asked to do another delivery. They got Polat on record admitting he had an insider in TSA and that meant he had someone besides Wilkins. She’s dead. So, someone had to replace her to keep this thing going. The FBI arrested Polat. They fingerprinted him. He wasn’t really Polat. He was actually an Afghani. Someone who fought in the Afghani and Soviet War. Someone who also fought in the war against the Americans. Polat was now willing to commit an act of terrorism on American soil. Polat was denying the charges. He was even answering his fake name. The most he was willing to say about what he’s being charged with is that there was no such thing as innocent victims.
The Americans killed a bunch of people. Polat thought it was only fair to return the favor. OA tried to ask Polat about Hazara. Polat asked for his lawyer. But everyone assumed that OA was acting unhinged. No one believed him about Hazara. OA did some investigating on the side. He found the man he thought was Hazara. He got his location. He was doing this around the same time that the FBI learned the new TSA Agent was only helping because his wife and son had been abducted. They were threatening to kill his family if he didn’t make sure their package went through security. And so OA found them.
He found them by surprising everyone by actually finding Hazara. Hazara hadn’t been dead. He simply faked his death and so OA busting down his door with backup was what saved that TSA Agent’s family. It also put an end to Hazara. OA was able to kill him and so that finally put an end to Hazara’s terrorism.
And Nina even apologized to OA for doubting him. They were new partners. She didn’t know him that well and so if it had been Maggie then maybe things could have been different.
THE END!
