In tonight’s FBI International episode, a protected witness was killed in prison. His name was Vilmos Barany. He didn’t know it but there was a dirty guard there. The guard took Vilmos out of his cell. He claimed that feds wanted to talk to him. He instead brought Vilmos to a nearly empty room and then locked the door behind him.
There was just one other person in that room. It was the same person that Vilmos was set to testify against. Vilmos was beaten to death by Greg Csonka. The criminal then bribed three Romanians to take the fall for the murder and he was all set to be released now that the prosecution lost their chief witness. And Wes couldn’t allow that.
Csonka was responsible for the death of Wes’s partner. He killed Mike Brooks. The federal agent was married and he had two daughters. They were still young. They weren’t even old enough to drive.
They were going to need their father and they don’t have him because of Csonka. Wes wanted justice for his friend. He agreed to testify against Csonka in trial. Only Csonka got himself some hotshot attorney. The guy was an American in an international firm. He thought he could get his client out of jail by questioning Wes’s credibility.
Wes has history with Csonka. They were both at the same juvenile facility for young offenders. Their paths never crossed. Wes was released and not long after he was released he learned someone had beaten up his best friend.
It turns out it was Csonka that put Trevor Ochoa in the hospital. Csonka’s lawyer was now trying to say that Wes has been holding a grudge against his client since the incident. He thought Wes created evidence to sink Csonka. He kept coming at Wes later when Wes was on the stand and Wes lost his cool.
Hungarian trials were a lot different to their American counterparts. The prosecutor was a woman and the judge kept siding with Csonka’s attorney because he was a man. There was no way that Wes’s past should have been put on trial. Or that his mother died from an overdose. Or have the televised trial carried out purely in English.
Wes freaking out in the trial didn’t work well with the judge or the prosecution. The Hungarians were willing to drop the case against Csonka. They weren’t going to try for a second shot. The only thing they had on him was the fake visa thing and he could get out fast with time served.
The only thing that would work now was to get Csonka for Vilmos’s murder. They followed the money. They saw that a prison guard had been paid off and the man crumbled under pressure.
He claims he didn’t know Csonka was going to kill the guy. He thought that Csonka would be fine with just beating him up. It wasn’t until Vilmos was dead that the guard supposedly realized how much trouble he was in and he did his best to cover for Csonka. The prison refused to let cops investigate Vilmos’s death. They instead claimed it was an internal matter.
Anyways, the fly team got the guard. They then followed the money. They found Csonka’s money man in Hungary and they planned on arresting him when he suddenly killed himself. The money man was now dead, but he kept great records. He kept track of all of Csonka’s money. The records were in code and no one had time to decrypt it.
They needed to take down Csonka while they still have him. They chose to pretend the money man was still alive. They used his records to force Csonka into accepting a plea deal of thirty years. Csonka took it and he was being transferred to a less cushy prison when the transport motorcade was hit by a truck.
Csonka was not the roll over type. He had people ready to break him out of police custody. The truck that hit the motorcade was followed by several cars and all full of gunmen.
The feds killed most of them only they couldn’t stop Csonka from driving off in one of the cars. Wes caught up to him in one of the police cars. Vo was with him. They were about to arrest Csonka again when a sniper appeared. The sniper shot Vo. She became Wes’s chief concern and Csonka was allowed to escape while Vo was transported to a hospital.
Vo was rushed into surgery. While her life was hanging in the balance, Wes remembered who put her there. He rounded up the local cops and they went hunting for Csonka.
Csonka had a thirty minute lead on them. Wes also wasn’t in the correct mindset to go looking for him. The incident with Vo reminded him what happened with Mike. Wes was taking the manhunt personally. He tracked down Csonka’s final movements to an empty airfield. They put out an alert for him with Europol and for now the man was roaming free.
And Vo’s condition had taken a turn for the worst in the meantime. She could die at any moment and so now Wes wants revenge. He was done trying to get justice. He just wants to take off his badge and deliver payback to Csonka.
THE END!
