Remy Scott just got some unwanted news on FBI: Most Wanted, which may throw doubt on the reasons he became an agent in the first place. It’s also going to bring up some very painful memories of his past.
As FBI: Most Wanted fans know, Remy was changed forever when his younger brother Mikey went missing and was later found murdered. The FBI had talked to Larry Michael Davis (Julian Rozzell Jr.), and Remy believed the man killed Mikey when the feds closed in on him. That drove Remy to become an agent himself.
In the latest episode, “Black Mirror,” Remy learned Davis was up for parole as he had terminal cancer. Remy spoke to the board about how Davis deserved to rot in prison and was happy to hear they turned his parole down. It did affect Remy in the case of two missing teenagers, as he was short-tempered with the rest of the team.
At the end of the episode, Remy was home when a documentary filmmaker stopped by and revealed that a legal rights group was pushing for Davis to get a new trial. She claimed the prosecutor had suppressed evidence that would have proved Davis’s innocence and the man had a record of targeting African-American suspects who likewise were innocent. She wanted to make a movie about Davis being exonerated and thought Remy could help.
An outraged Remy told the woman that there was no doubt in his mind Davis was guilty and threw her out of his apartment. Yet her words did haunt him on the possibility Davis could go free.
How is Remy handling the news about Davis in FBI: Most Wanted?
Speaking to TV Insider, Dylan McDermott shared that Remy is deeply affected by this news and that not interested in helping the guy go free.
"“In my estimation — I may be wrong — I don’t think there is anything. I think he wants no part of this. He wants to put this to bed. He doesn’t want to deal with it. He can’t believe it. He’s in denial about it. He’s furious. I don’t think he wants to participate.”"
McDermott touched on how this will shake up Remy as he’s based his entire FBI career on seeing justice done and now facing the possibility that his brother’s killer is still out there.
"“Yeah, it’s mind-boggling. I think that this is worst-case scenario for him, you know? Because this is why, as you said, he became an FBI agent. Every case that Remy handles, he’s thinking of his brother, he’s trying to get that resolution.”"
McDermott said it might be a while before this subplot returns, but it will be shadowing Remy on his cases. For now, Remy is still convinced Davis was guilty, but that lingering doubt may be a factor in cases down the road.
