She reminds him of the pitfalls of working on this case, but Wes remains adamant.
“When the star witness in the case against Greg Csonka, the man responsible for the death of Wes’ former partner, is beaten to death in a Budapest prison before he can testify, the Fly Team attempts to salvage the case to secure Csonka’s conviction. As they dive back into the investigation, Mitchell is forced to confront the pain of losing his partner. Meanwhile, Wes assists Booth with preparing for his promotion interviews.”
Wes is Too Close to the Case in ‘FBI: International’ Season 4, Episode 8.
“Imagine trying to assemble a plane in a blizzard, mid-air. That’s where we are right now,” a woman who’s in a meeting with Smitty and Wes says when the video above begins. She previews the challenge arising in the Csonka case following the murder of their star witness. She is prosecuting Csonka’s case and informs Wes that they stand a better chance at a conviction if Wes testifies to Csonka’s actions. While a lot has gone wrong, the fact that Hungary’s justice system doesn’t have trials by juries works in their favor.
Wes agrees to testify since he would want nothing more than to see Csonka behind bars. Smitty points out that this case can affect Wes in unpredictable ways since he’s directly affected, and she offers to testify in his place. “You want to talk about my partner, Mike Ross. He had two daughters, April and Emily. They can’t even drive yet. He loved the Dodgers. He was a great agent and an even better man. He was my friend, and I’m gonna testify and bring justice to his name,” Wes says.
The episode’s promo video teases something going awry when the Fly Team is involved in a gunfight, and Vo is shot. Tune in to CBS on Tuesday, December 17, to see how everything shakes. “You’ll Never See It Coming” is written by Edgar Castillo and directed by Nina Lopez-Corrado.
