Nina says there aren’t any potential targets she will determine when it comes to initiatives they labored on within the final 5 years however she is going to preserve digging and Vo presents to assist. Forrester says the remainder of them will work on finding Laporta himself. He says one of the best lead is the person within the video and Kellett says nobody acknowledges him so they’re positive he isn’t native, however with no higher picture, they can’t run him by means of facial recognition, and Jubal suggests sending it to analysts in NY to see if they’ll work some magic.

Ballistics match the bullets to the identical gun that killed Tomaso, and Kellett says the neighbors didn’t see anybody coming or going, however says they did see a silver SUV outdoors for just a few days which is now gone. They estimate he has been useless for about 2 hours, and Jubal says to Smitty that with out the cellphone data delay they may have gotten to him alive, however Smitty says there isn’t a technique to say for positive. Jubal says the fact is he’s useless over a easy cellphone search when Scott comes over to ask what’s going on. Jubal tells him they need to have a witness and never one other physique and somebody must personal that and Scott tells him he must settle down, and there’s solely a lot they’ll push earlier than it comes again to chunk them, however Jubal says that isn’t adequate.

She thinks what they’ve stumbled throughout is linked to a covert operation in Minsk, when 3 months in the past Lenkov’s complete staff have been struck down by a drone strike at a household wedding ceremony, by Ukraine they assume. So he blames America for his daughter and his high troopers being killed.
Nina says to Cameron that they’ve been specializing in apparent targets like landmarks and bridges however she wonders if it has to do with {the electrical} stations and such he labored on earlier than. She shares with Vo that she is pregnant and Scola is the daddy. Scott returns and asks the place Smitty is and goes in to talk to the Inspector.

They’re ready for the Italian PD and Jubal needs to breach, and says to Scott that they’ve been maintaining issues diplomatic however they should take motion. They go into the flats and discover a couple and youngsters who start screaming, after which Jubal finds a child who shoots a gun at Jubal. Kellett tells them it’s only a household dwelling and Raines lets them know there isn’t a signal of anybody else. Smitty says as they anticipated, the household denies any information of Lenkov and Jubal asks to interview the household however Smitty says no as a result of he kicked of their door and terrified the household. They’re attempting to find the person that despatched them to that condominium however they consider he was telling them what he thought they needed to listen to. Smitty tells him that is the American entitlement that induced the entire mess to start with. She says they promised to maintain the Italians within the loop after which he pulled this and Jubal says he didn’t promise something, and he isn’t right here to argue about overseas coverage.
Scott tells Jubal that they go means again however Smitty is a member of his staff and fights for them and their nation on daily basis and he is not going to run over her. Jubal says this raid was his name and he was mistaken and can take accountability for it nevertheless it was their solely lead. Scott says now it’s time to work collectively and so they all agree.
Kellett comes out and says they’ve one other crime scene and somebody hit the Anitec places of work. Lenkov’s males got here by means of and Sabrina says she simply hid. Nina says the recordsdata are previous from earlier than the corporate opened, and so they uploaded the complete drive. They give the impression of being to see if they’ll determine the server the place it was uploaded to, and so they discover an IP handle. They want assist and Scott says they’re the one European FBI staff/assist and Smitty tells Jubal they doubtless have burned the bridge with the Italian Police.

He and his officers go away.
Jubal says with the component of shock he thinks they’ll take them, however provided that they’re all in settlement. Smitty agrees and so they plan on methods to go in. The staff will get armed and Scott says once they get into place to attend for the sign. Jubal needs Nina to sit down this one out as a result of she is pregnant and he doesn’t wish to put her in hurt’s means. She asks to go along with Scott however he says that appeared like an order so she goes with Vo and Vo guarantees to have her assist safe the perimeter and won’t go in.
Kellett and Raines enter from one facet and Forrester and Valentine and Smitty enter from one other – Vo and West safe the perimeter. Jubal, Scott and Smitty take the guards out entrance and Raines and Kellett breach the home and take down a number of guards inside. Jubal takes one man out and somebody is sneaking up behind him however Scott kills him. They discover Laporta shot within the head. They put down seven gunmen and so they discover a secret exit by means of a tunnel. Vo and West are looking for the 2 males who escaped and discover the exit. Vo will get one of many males however West is shot. They get Nina into the automobile and take her to the closest hospital.
The ultimate man will get away. They rush to the hospital and he or she is taken into surgical procedure. Scott is questioning their determination to go in. The physician tells Scott that Nina misplaced a lot of blood and he or she is contact and go proper now and the infant has a heartbeat however there was a lot of trauma. Scott returns to the scene and Vo comes out crying and Scott hugs her and tells her it’s not her fault. They proceed to seek for clues whereas Jubal waits on the hospital.
They discover the Inspector in the home and he asks what they’re doing coming into his nation and capturing everybody in website. Scott says as a result of they didn’t present assets, Laporta is useless and certainly one of his teammates is within the hospital, and asks what extra he wants.
It’s at this level the place we transition into Half 2 with FBI, and return to the hospital with Jubal ready on extra information about Nina. He calls Isobel and he tells her what occurred, and that the prognosis is unclear. She says they discovered a notepad in the home with numbers on it, that was a tail quantity and it flew into New York that day, and he or she wants him again in New York. Isobel says she talked to Forrester and he’ll stick with Nina in Rome till she recovers. Isobel says to not inform Scola proper now, as a result of they can’t lose him and abort the operation. Jubal says it feels mistaken and Isobel agrees however says they’ll inform him, simply not now.
For the rest of the crossover, we don’t see a lot of our Fly Crew aside from Forrester, who’s ready on the hospital with Nina. At one level, Scott is on the hospital and Nina begins to crash and Scott goes to get assist and so they take Nina to the working room.
Forrester is with Nina later within the crossover and they’re performed the surgical procedure. The surgeon says the subsequent 24 hours might be important. Scott tells him that the infant’s coronary heart remains to be beating and Scola tells him that it means the world to him that he’s there along with her.
On the finish of the three components, Scola goes to Italy and thanks Scott for mendacity to him concerning the docs being optimistic because it gave him one thing to hold on to. Nina asks him why he’s there and Scola tells her he loves her and he or she tells him she loves him too. The child is okay additionally and the 2 maintain palms because the credit roll.
There have been just a few key themes within the FBI: Worldwide a part of this crossover. The primary is how a lot Scott Forrester has grown not solely as a pacesetter but in addition in how he works diplomatically with all of the overseas police providers. He has realized to stability endurance with motion, and takes a really completely different strategy now than originally of season one. As well as, he’s a really caring chief with how he helps Vo after the capturing and the way he’s there for Nina till they can get Stuart Scola to her. He clearly cares about what he does and likewise how he does it, and appears to have realized a fantastic deal about methods to navigate overseas politics and stability that with robust police work.
The opposite massive theme was that not everybody can perceive the fragile relationships and politics at play when working outdoors of the USA. This was true in final season’s crossover, when OA skilled the identical struggles that Jubal Valentine skilled on this episode whereas attempting to work overseas. It actually is a particular talent set to have the ability to navigate these rocky waters, and clearly Jubal’s expertise working solely on American soil was an actual detriment on this case. The bulldozer “must do it our/my means on my timeline” strategy is certainly not solely seen as disrespectful to native regulation enforcement, however solely proves to place up limitations and derail investigations. We will solely hope that his experiences overseas will assist Jubal to additionally develop in his expertise and talents to work successfully with different police companies, whether or not overseas or home.
