Tonight’s FBI episode begins with a 17-year old girl not arriving home on time, her mother, Michelle Dolan, is upset, her father tells her she is fine. Michelle finds her car on the side of the road, none of her stuff is in it, she tells her husband she is going to head down in the woods and look around. She is still on the phone with her husband and calling out for Meghan. Michelle shouts “OMG” she has found her daughter and some other teenagers, her daughter appears dead.
Zidan and Bell are on the scene, there are six dead teenagers. They assume it is drug related, but it doesn’t make any sense, no criminal records, just good kids.
Bell speaks to Mr. & Mrs. Dolan, she didn’t have a history of drug abuse, she was a good kid. She snuck a beer here or there, they were all good kids.
The autopsy shows a fatal combination of Fentanyl and Carfentanil which is used to put down elephants, it is really strong.
All the teens social media posts seem to be normal, so it doesn’t look like it is a mass suicide. Meghan’s phone has a video, 30 minutes before the time of death where Toni Hasa, an Albanian immigrant, he has a sealed juvenile record, two months ago he was released from a dug program. He worked out at the same gym as two of the deceased teenagers.
They head to a bar were Toni supposedly works, but nobody will say they recognize a photo of Hasa. Zidan says it looks like a place that would just as soon pour you a drink and shoot you in the face. They leave the bar and outside, an undercover cop who was in he bar approaches them and gives them Hasa’s address. The find him, but he is dead, the same overdose.
The pull videos and find that someone going into Hasa’s apartment and staying there six minutes before he died.
Organized crime is in the staton, the bar, the Tirana lounge, is owned by Fabian Shabani, a gangster – they have been working the case and need them to tread lightly. Isobel lets them know that they are in charge and their man, detective Sula, will be working with Zidan and Bell.
Sula looks at the vide and recognizes the man, Dardan Hasa, Toni’s uncle. He tried to sell him some guns, he can tell him that he found a buyer.
Sula goes undercover, he pretends to have a buyer with Dardan, says he knows the guy well, he used to buy cake from him. Dardan doesn’t buy it because Sula stalls and stutters, he pulls a gun on Sula who is wired, Zidan and Bell rush in. They end up getting into a foot race and Dardan gets shot.
After a search of Dardan’s van, they find proof that these guys are making their own drugs.
Dardan is in the hospital, if he survives, Sula’s cover is blown. So in the meantime, they want to work fast and have Sula go to speak to Shabani.
Sula goes inside and starts to talk a little too much. Zidan is in his ear and tells him to cool it.
ZIdan and Sula meet in a cafe, ZIdan warns him that one misstep is going to get him killed. Sula was offered a drink undercover and wouldn’t take it because of his religious beliefs. Zidan tells him to get his head back in the game.
The team has been listening to Shabani and there is going to be a meeting with the Latin Kings, it is happening in the office on top of the bar. An imam from a local mosque lives in the apartment even though Shabani owns it. The imam seems legit. They don’t want to bug it, but if Shabani is using it for illicit meetings the they have to. Sula won’t do it, he won’t put a bug in it so Zidan says he will do it, he just need to get him in the door.
Zidan is about to go in the apartment when Shabani sends Hyka up there to get everything ready, Sula tries to intercept Hyka and slow him down. Hyka gets annoyed and tells him to get lost. Zidan manages to get out of the apartment safe.
The Latin Kings arrive at the apartment, they are heading inside, the feed is good, they are able to watch the meeting. All of a sudden, the imam is heading back the apartment, Zidan heads out to speak to him.
After the meeting, Shabani is on the move to a warehouse, the team follows him there and go in, they see the same kind of equipment as Dardan’s van. Scola sees the posts brewing inside, he puts on a gas mask and tries to turn them all off. Zidan is attacked by Shabani, he loses his gun, but Sula arrives in time to save him.
At the station, Sula tells Zidan that he is not ok, Zidan says he saved his life. Sula admits he was niave, he thought he would ever have to kill. Sula says he doesn’t want to ever do that again, and he doesn’t like all the compromises he is expected to make. He takes off his badge, leaves it on the desk and walks out.
Zidan goes to prayer like he promised the imam.
THE END!
