In tonight’s FBI recap, a seemingly normal couple was tortured in their home. It didn’t even happen in the city. It happened in Westchester county in upstate New York. They were literally in the suburbs. They were found the next morning by a man claiming to be the homeowner.
He said he found two dead people in “his” house and it was strange because the dead couple technically owned the house. The victims were Jack and Cheryl Flemming. They were tortured then killed. They were known as being philanthropists. They were good people in the community and the only issues they had were with the guy that was claiming their house as his.
The Flemmings went on a vacation recently. They traveled to Europe. They returned to find a squatter living in their home and they took him to court to get him forcibly removed.
This squatter was identified as Mike Holland. He was a trial attorney before he suffered a mental breakdown. He’s been in and out of psychiatric facilities. He also spent six months in prison for attacking a nurse. He was violent and he believed the Flemmings’ house was his. He said that he lived there for thirty days. He used legal jargon to claim the house as his.
Mark didn’t care that the Flemmings had him removed. He left a window open. He planned on moving back in the first chance he could. The only reason he didn’t do that was because he found the bodies. Mark didn’t stick around for the cops to show up. He went back to living on the streets and the FBI caught up to him.
Scola has a new partner. Her name is Sofia Otero. She was a bit of a lone wolf. She tried to tackle Mark on her own and was lucky that Mark wasn’t armed. He was taking a shower when Sofia pulled her gun on him.
Scola got everyone to calm down. He and his new partner arrested Mark. They brought him down to headquarters for questioning when Mark denied harming the couple.
He said he would have gotten the house back anyways. Plus, there was another suspect. They found the fingerprints of Paul Gordon on the window that Mark left open for himself. This Gordon character was supposed to be in jail. He was three years into a five year stint. The fingerprints also couldn’t be old. They would have rubbed off in the years that passed.
The only way that Gordon’s prints could be on the window was if he broke out of prison. The FBI checked. The security guards didn’t find Gordon in his cell and he was missing with his partner.
Gordon was the violent one. His partner/cellmate was John Pereira. Pereira was doing twenty years for drugs. The two of them became friends in prison and they somehow broke out together. They went to the Flemmings because Pereira used to own that house. He sold it to pay for his legal fees. And he might have left something in the house before he left.
Pereira was safe in prison because it was rumored he was rich. He was supposedly sitting on a cash cow. He wasn’t violent, but he didn’t need to be with Gordon in the picture.
Gordon tortured several women. He was aggressive. Everyone thought he’d get violent with his new cellmate and it didn’t happen. Then they broke out together.
They went to Pereira’s old house. Gordon tortured and killed the couple that currently lived there. He seems like he was looking for the money that his partner promised. Nor did the reign of terror stop there.
The two prisoners broke out right after Pereira learned his ex was moving with their daughter. Angela got a new job in Washington state. She was going to be on the other side of the country with their daughter, Naomi. Angela wasn’t a bad person before the job offer.
She visited her ex-husband every week with their daughter. She allowed him to call the house. They were making his prison sentence work until she got that promotion. She couldn’t afford to turn it down. She told Pereria about it and that’s when he came up with the idea to break out.
Pereria was later found at Angela’s house by the FBI. Angela was dead. Pereria was claiming Gordon kill her and that his friend kidnapped his daughter. It turns out Pereria lied about being rich.
He told Gordon that he stashed millions in the crawl space under his old house. Gordon then double-crossed him. He went to that house without Pereria. He abandoned the guy on the side of the road. It was Gordon’s plan to steal the money and escape to a foreign country. Only Pereria betrayed him back. There was no money lying around.
Gordon killed the Flemmings for nothing. He then wanted revenge and so he looked up Angela’s address. He killed her. He kidnapped Naomi. He was now threatening to kill the girl if Pereria didn’t give him the two million dollars he promised. Gordon was never his friend. He pretended to be friendly.
He got all the tools in prison that Pereria needed to break them out. He now wants two million dollars and Pereria doesn’t have that money. The FBI also couldn’t give them that money. They were still in trouble because of what Maggie did in helping the Iranian dissidents enter the Witness Protection Program.
The most the FBI could come up with was twenty grand. They put it in a bag. They let Pereria go to the meeting place and it wasn’t Gordon that showed up. It was the prison manager. She and Gordon were in love. Or so she claims. She helped Gordon get everything he needed to escape.
She also didn’t show up with the little girl to the meet. Pereria didn’t want to give her the money. He wanted to see his daughter first. She maced Pereria. She took the money to Gordon. She never once suspected she was being followed and so Gordon easily killed her once he got the money.
The FBI closed in on Gordon. They were forced to kill in him in a shootout. There was no trace of Namoi. She wasn’t in the car that Gordon was driving and Gordon’s death meant they couldn’t ask him.
The only thing they found on Gordon was a floatable key fob. Like something they had for a boat. Gordon’s dead girlfriend owned a boat. The FBI later went there and they found Naomi sedated, but alive. Naomi’s mom was gone. Her father was going back to prison. And so Naomi’s story didn’t end happily.
It did give Jubal an idea though. He later asked his ex if he could move back in. He wanted to be nearby because their son Tyler has been struggling for a while and so his ex agreed. They will be living together to help Tyler.
And Sofia decided she wasn’t fit for the New York Field Office. She left and she might not be the only one if OA keeps breaking the law. OA ran into an old friend from the Rangers.
This old friend got OA’s help in planting a listening device and OA just went along with it because he owned this guy his life however situations like that never end after one favor.
THE END
