In tonight’s FBI episode, a group of armed men went to rob a jewelry store when a simple smash and grab ended up going south. The store owner was also armed. He went for his gun and he tried to frighten the guys off and so the armed men responded. The store owner was shot. A client was also killed. She and her boyfriend went to the store for what should have been a happy proposal, but the theft and murder has now left one grieving man wanting vengeance and that’s where the FBI came in.
The FBI investigates armed robberies otherwise known as heists. They went looking for their killers. They were able to trace a stolen rolex that had a tracker in it back to a drug dealer and they instantly knew he wasn’t one of the people they were looking for. And so they instead threatened him with federal prison for drug distribution if he didn’t give details on the man who gave him the watch.
The drug dealer said a group of guys rolled up in a silver car. They traded the watch for cocaine. The guy he spoke with was white in thirties to forties with a goatee. The car he was using also started with DMX. The drug dealer remembered because of the rapper and so Jubal’s team went looking for their suspect. In the meantime, they monitored any recent sales at pawn shops. They found a footage of a teenage boy selling some of the stolen watches and they traced it back to a foster kid. His name is Jamal Carter. He’s sixteen. His mother died when he was a baby and his father was shot a few years ago by the cops on Christmas.
Jamal has been bouncing around in the system ever since. He’s a good kid. His case worker was questioned about him and she said he even has a part-time job as youth counselor at a center. Jamal could never have been involved in any murders. The team looked into it and they deemed the case worker was correct. Jamal had an alibi for a second homicide. He also couldn’t have pulled off the robbery because he was just too short to match the anyone in the security footage and so they brought Jamal in for interrogation. They demanded to know where he got the watches. He said one of his new foster brothers gave it to him to sell.
Jamal was new to the house. He didn’t question his fosters brothers when they claimed to have found the watches in an alley and he did as they asked. He sold the watches. He did so without question because he didn’t want a hard time at a new house and he’s been at bad houses before. But his new foster brothers matched the description of the men that robbed the jewelry store. They were dangerous. The FBI wanted to stop them and so they put a wire on Jamal. They had him return home. They wanted him to search his foster brother’s rooms. He was caught while doing so and he came up a story.
Jamal claimed to be looking for a shirt. It worked. His brothers didn’t question him and they were talking about the robbery when suddenly the feed went out. Jamal’s feed didn’t cut back in until he walking back to the van. He said that he heard static and he pulled the piece out of his ear. He also said that his brothers never mentioned anything illegal to him. Maggie wanted Jamal to rush back into the house to question his brothers and Tiffany was the one who told her that already got footage of the brothers giving him the watch to sell. Which in itself is an offence. They got a warrant and they went to arrest Jamal’s brothers only to find the house empty.
No one was home. Not even the foster father who they clearly heard earlier was staying home to watch the game that night and so right away Maggie believed the worst. Maggie believed Jamal played them. He warned his brothers. His brothers fled. Their foster father seemed to be helping them and fled with the boys. Maggie demanded answers from Jamal. He was denying all knowledge of where his brothers went. Tiffany then stepped in and asked Maggie to give her a minute alone with Jamal. She told him that it didn’t look good for him. He was being loyal to people who had left him behind and so Jamal said in a moment of anger that they hadn’t left him behind.
This got Tiffany to thinking. She remembered one of the boys hadn’t been home when Jamal first got home. Something about visiting a bank and that along with something else she found made her believe that the kids and their foster father had one last heist in the works. This was confirmed when they heard of a disturbance at the bank. The FBI went to the scene and them and NYPD were able to arrest all three boys and their foster father for armed robbery and murder. And Maggie later talked to Tiffany about why she went easy on Jamal.
Tiffany was the police officer that shot and killed Jamal’s father. She blames herself for his current situation because he entered foster care after his dad died and so Maggie understood why Tiffany wanted to give Jamal the benefit of the doubt. It had been a good shooting what with his father being high on drugs and trying to attack them, but the fallout was more than she ever imagined. And so Tiffany later told Jamal that they were some things she wishes could take back and couldn’t.
THE END!
