In tonight’s FBI episode, a security guard at the Federal Reserve Bank was murdered. Before he was a guard, he was in the military and heavily believed in protecting his country. But the guy was acting suspiciously on the day he died. Tom Hamilton told his wife he was going to work.
He instead drove miles away near-deserted warehouse to meet with two men from the Middle East. He gave them something. He asked them not to use it on American soil and they swore they wouldn’t. Those same people killed him to hide how he was helping them. Meaning they were going to use it on American soil. They were planning a terrorist attack and it had been Hamilton who gave them the means to do it. And unfortunately, the FBI didn’t know all of this as they began to look into Hamilton.
At first, all they knew was that he was acting suspiciously. They looked into him. They found out that he had a secret computer and so they asked his wife about it. She tried to lie initially. She denied knowing her husband had a computer. The FBI had to confront her with the facts and that’s when she told them. She told them her husband had a hidden lair in the basement. She wasn’t allowed to go in and so she had no knowledge of the sarin gas hidden there. It was when she led the FBI to the room that they looked. They found one of the most dangerous chemicals used in warfare ever known.
The FBI had to ask the wife to come with for further questioning. She was asked about her husband as her house was being searched and she admitted that her husband was a conspiracy theorist. He became convinced that the government was going to turn against the country. He started stockpiling weapons in that hidden room. He was preparing for this supposed war. He went online to talk about it and he met like-minded people in these chat rooms. It’s where he eventually met his killers. Someone on the message boards was looking for mustard gas. Which was sarin gas under a different name. These people claimed they wanted to use in Syria and get revenge for loved ones.
It didn’t make sense. What with them somehow getting the gas in the United States and smuggling it in Syria. How were they going to get such weapon pass security? Were they getting a private plane? If they had money for that then how come they didn’t just buy another weapon? There were so many questions and Hamilton had questions too. He asked to meet with the guy before he handed over the gas. He met with him four days at a restaurant before he handed over the weapon. The FBI traced who he was meeting with and they identified the man as Abbas. Abbas was a Syrian-born refugee.
He came to the United States to escape the civil war. He got out. His son didn’t. His sons were still in Syria when an American missile dropped and killed them both. Abbas has never been the same since. He blamed the United States for his sons’ death. It got so bad that his sister kicked him out. She said Abbas moved in with a guy named Nassar and she gave the FBI the address. They raided the house. They didn’t find either man. This Nassar was also bad news. He was a Syrian-born terrorist accused of killing Americans overseas. He was a wanted man. Every wanted to arrest him and so him being in America was bad.
Him having access to sarin gas was the worst possible outcome because now there’s no doubt. There was a terrorist attack planned on American soil and it was up to the FBI to stop the plot. They went looking for the two men involved. They later found Nassar driving a stolen car and they tried to arrest him when a bystander got in the way. Like, literally, everyone had their guns out, but this guy wanted to film everything. He got in the way. The FBI didn’t return fire because they didn’t want to risk the bystander’s life. Nassar fired at them and escaped in the chaos. He met up with Abbas.
They later killed an FBI Agent. Only, the FBI eventually learned that the two men were making several bombs with the sarin gas. They went looking where these chemical bombs could be made and they realized that Abbas used to work at a lab. The lab shut down due to budget cuts. It was therefore deserted and was the perfect place to make these bombs. The FBI went to the old lab. They started searching the place and they kept running into tripwire. Maggie and OA hadn’t been able to wait for backup. They went in alone. Just the two of them. They also had to split up once they went inside because the lab was huge and so Maggie ended up finding the bad guys before OA did. And she was forced to confront Abbas alone.
Maggie killed Nassar. She made it to Abbas and he refused to turn himself in. She was forced to kill him, but not before one of the canisters of sarin gas managed to fall and break. It filled the room with gas. It was a lab and it went into lockdown. It shut the doors before Maggie could escape. She was trapped in a room quickly filling with sarin gas. And OA was being forced to watch. OA tried to press the button to open the doors. It didn’t work. He next tried to move the doors with brute strength and again it didn’t work. OA had to wait until the doors opened on their own. And by then, he was wearing a mask.
OA rushed in to grab Maggie and he took her outside to get fresh air. He also gave her something that was supposed to help with the chemical attack, but it’s a wait-and-see if Maggie recovers from this.
THE END
