Raines is often the one putting his life on the line when it comes to helping people get a job done. He does just that in FBI: International season 4, episode 10.
After an episode of dealing with Csonka, the Fly Team has a case that is a little more “ordinary.” This one deals with a Russian defector, who is killed as he attempts to hand over material to the Americans. Why would the Fly Team step in when the citizen isn’t American? Well, it’s linked to what the man wanted to do.
There has long been issues between Russia and America. During the Cold War, Soviet and American spies would attempt to infiltrate. There were plenty of defectors on each side, and the punishment for defecting was often death. Those issues have settled a little, but there are always comments of another Cold War coming. And the Russians definitely don’t want their information to get out.
A biochemist defects in FBI: International season 4, episode 10
The episode starts with the death of a Russian who is defecting. He is a biochemist, and he wants to get some work that he has been doing out of the country. What’s that work? Some highly sensitive biotoxins research.
In other words, this research could lead to a bio war, which is far more scarier and dangerous than many other types of wars in the world. When the man dies, his daughter ends up having to take up the mantle of getting the information out of the country. Of course, those who were after the man are now after the daughter.
The Fly Team needs to save the girl. Raines puts his life on the line in the promo of the episode. Whoever is after them has guns, but if they shoot, everyone could end up dying. Will the biotoxins end up in the right hands? Who exactly are the right hands?
Check out the promo and synopsis for FBI: International season 4, episode 10:
"When a Russian biochemist is assassinated for trying to defect with his highly sensitive biotoxins research, the team springs into action to protect his daughter, whose father's last wish was that she get his research to a trusted microbiologist."
