It all comes down to this. The series finale of FBI: International takes the Fly Team to Tokyo, Japan, to catch the mastermind behind the dozens of killings of women. “The Fly Team discovers they’re on the trail of a serial killer, taking the investigation, and Mitchell (Jesse Lee Soffer), to Japan to put an end to the international killing spree,” the logline for FBI: International Season 4, Episode 22, “Gaijin,” teases. It is a delicate affair, since the Fly Team is playing under the rules of another country’s law enforcement systems, and knowing Mitchell, he could disregard those rules. CBS released a sneak peek of the episode airing next week on Tuesday, May 20 at 9 p.m. ET. A promo video previews the team’s attempt to capture the unsub despite his desire to remain free.
The Japanese police force only allowed one Fly Team member to go to Tokyo, so it will be interesting to see how Wes navigates being on the field alone in a foreign country. Some surprises are teased in the video below as Wes and Reiko (Yoriko Haraguchi) find their suspect’s lair and they unearth even more victims, significantly increasing the number they had previously thought was thirteen. Much about the unsub is unknown, but given the episode’s name, he’s probably a white male in his 50s or 60s. Gaijin is the name Japanese people use to refer to foreigners, and it might explain why the killer has flown under the radar for this long while continuing to commit murder and recruit successors.
“Gaijin” is the show’s final episode following an untimely cancellation. The episode will wrap up the characters’ stories as some pursue other opportunities while others try new things. CBS won’t feature a three-hour FBI-verse block for the first time in four years since FBI: Most Wanted was also cancelled. However, a new spinoff, CIA, will now air alongside the flagship series when the season begins this fall. “It’s not easy to end shows, and we had a lot of options this year,” CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach said when addressing the cancellations. She explained:
