In tonight’s FBI episode, some college kids started a riot on campus. They took the undersecretary hostage. They fought with the cops and, seeing as there was a hostage situation, the feds got involved as well.
They pushed through several assaults to find the Undersecretary Willis. She apparently wanted to stay. She believed in the students’ cause.
They didn’t want their dorms or free space to be taken up by refugees. They wanted housing provided to everyone in the city. They were asking for basic human rights and someone went too far. The FBI were escorting Willis out of the building when one girl screams stopped them from leaving.
Someone had been murdered during the riot. He was found by another student. She tried to help and was left covered in blood. It was her screams that alerted the feds.
They were leaving with Wilis. They stopped when they heard the girl. They found the body right afterwards. They had to investigate the murder. The victim’s name was Jacob Aquino.
He died before the riot popped off. The Medical Examiner said he died before the cops had even gotten there. This meant Jacob wasn’t killed by the cops or the feds. His killer was on that campus from before.
There was an upside to him dying before the action. It made it easier on the feds to track down everyone who went into that building around the time of the murder.
The feds also looked into Jacob. He was Filipino American. His parents were immigrants. He was on scholarship. It was personal for him that the immigrants be taken care of. The feds checked surveillance cameras. They found Jacob had gotten into a fight with a man named Frank Dorman.
Dorman wasn’t a college student. He was a US military vet. He was armed to the teeth and he got into a fight with Jacob because he thought Jacob was a whiny brat.
All Jacob did was give him a flier.
Dorman didn’t go to college when he was that age. He was already serving in the military. He felt he was more American because he fought for his country and so he didn’t care about providing humane housing for immigrants.
Dorman was armed because he went hunting that day. He also didn’t care enough about a protestor to hunt him down. Jacob had plenty of enemies before Dorman entered the picture.
He left his fraternity. He told his mom it was so that he could focus on school. Only it was weird to leave a fraternity after they’d passed pledge week.
Jacob wanted to be a doctor. His lab partner was recently expelled for drug usage. Jacob was also getting several threatening texts from his former fraternity brother, Freddy Albrect. The messages were getting uglier by the minute when it suddenly stopped right as Jacob was murdered. The feds looked for Freddy.
He wasn’t on campus. He went to his parents’ apartment. His parents were away on vacation. Freddy was by himself and he left a bag full of cocaine out for Maggie to find. Freddy was arrested for the felony weight in his bag.
During his interrogation, Freddy admitted he sold drugs on campus. He had a supplier. He had his frat buddies selling drugs for him and everything was going well until Jacob’s lab partner got expelled.
Jacob left the fraternity. He tried to get away from Freddy and his business. Freddy believes he was killed by his supplier so that he wouldn’t talk. Freddy agreed to wear a wire. He approached his drug buddy. He tried to get Mario Becceras on tape confessing to Jacob’s murder and the guy had no idea what he was talking about.
Jacob wasn’t killed by Mario or his brother Cesar. No one knew Jacob was even involved in the trade. What the brothers did know was that Freddy’s other friend meant a lot to him. His name is Alistair. Cesar took Alistair hostage. The brothers were demanding all of their drugs back and now the feds have to look for this other kid before he gets killed.
Freddy was worried about his friend. He didn’t mention him before because he was trying to protect him. Now, Alistair could die because of him. Freddy doesn’t know where the brothers set up shop. He met them out in the open. It was different venues all the time.
NYPD knew where the brothers were. They’ve been building a drug case against the brothers for months. They didn’t want to assist the feds initially because they didn’t want the feds to take credit. Jubal also couldn’t ask for a favor because he ran out of those. His son Tyler was at the riot on campus. Tyler wasn’t even in college.
He was still in high school, He also wasn’t going to face punishment because Jubal talked a police captain out of charging him. Tyler was allowed to go home while all his friends got arrested.
Jubal will have to face the repercussions from that. Until that happens, he and his people assisted NYPD with taking down the drug operation. They arrested Mario. They killed Cesar. T
hey also found Alistair. NYPD made the biggest drug bust of the year and they were definitely taking the full credit. Everyone also figured out that the brothers didn’t kill Jacob. Freddy did.
Freddy beat Jacob to death with a lock. It was found at the frat house. Jacob was never part of the drug ring. He was a good kid. He found out what Freddy was doing and that’s why he left the frat. He was going to report the overly privileged Freddy.
Freddy killed him to stop him and they have enough evidence to put him away for life.
Jubal meanwhile was later forcibly suspended without pay for that favor he called in for his son, but he still managed to teach his son a lesson.
THE END!
