Recap / FBI International S 01 E 03

Go To

The team investigates when the hijacking of millions worth of cryptocurrency en route to a safety vault in Switzerland leaves an American transporter dead and another on the run.


Tropes:

  • Boom, Headshot!: Chet Lewis is killed this way.
  • Good Scars, Evil Scars: The masked shooter, Ulrich Zimmerman, has a long stitched scar on the back of his neck.
  • It's Personal: Kellett is shot during the investigation, making this personal for Forrester. Lampshaded by millionaire Steve Webb, who is worried that by being "after blood", Forrester will screw the recovery of his stolen money.
  • Mistaken for Related: When Forrester sees a young woman honking outside at Webb:
    Scott Forrester: Your daughter?
    Steve Webb: No, that's my girlfriend, Chief.
  • Villain Ball: Kristian Hess lets a hostage see his face and tells his partner to kill her right in front of her, which pushes her to escape and allows her to identify him later. If he had just kept his ski mask on or killed her by surprise, he would have gotten away with it. This was probably because he was certain she'd be killed.
  • Yodel Land: Played with here as the episode is set in Switzerland and begins with the robbing of a bank transport in the Alps (the modern twist being that the currency is Bitcoin). One of the victims in the beginning asks sarcastically if people "still yodel over here". The local cop also invokes Swiss neutrality twice first when allowing Webb to negotiate with the robbers, then as an Ironic Echo when he refuses to arrest Forrester for punching Webb.
