The FBI: International series finale took Fly Team leader Wes Mitchell far from Budapest — but not everyone on his team helped him from overseas.
Warning: Spoilers below from season 4, episode 22 of FBI: International.
During the Tuesday, May 20, finale, Wes (Jesse Lee Soffer) traveled to Tokyo to track down the second serial killer suspected of kidnapping at least six Americans. (The Fly Team in Budapest previously apprehended a Japanese assailant guilty of killing an American working as a prostitute but before they could find his partner, the criminal killed himself.)
Keeping in line with Japanese rules, Wes flew solo to Tokyo to solve the case. He teamed up with local detective Reiko Isokawa (Yoriko Haraguchi) to try and navigate the nuances of the country while saving the latest victim, an American named Hannah (Ferin Bergen), who was abducted during a cab ride following her shift as a hostess in Japan’s capital.

After his team back home did a deep dive into the first assailant’s search history, they found the mastermind behind the international killing spree: Lloyd Acuff (Tom Ashton).
When Wes and Reiko confronted Lloyd about his suspected crimes, he played coy about his whereabouts when Hannah was abducted. Wes decided to break a few rules — which got Reiko suspended — and had to go it alone to get his man.
Ultimately, Wes made a deal with Lloyd, who was later accused of killing more than 50 women, promising to let him die by cyanide in exchange for Hannah’s location. Once Hannah was safe, Wes gave Lloyd his “button” as promised but he took the cyanide out, leaving Lloyd to face the consequences of his actions.
While Wes solved the case and saved Hannah, the finale left a lot of questions unanswered. Unfortunately, since FBI: International was canceled in March, fans may never get the closure they want. (FBI: Most Wanted was also canceled.)

“Of course I’m sad the show must come to an end, but I want to thank Wolf Entertainment and CBS for everything: in particular the incredible tour of Europe!” FBI: International star Eva-Jane Willis exclusively told Us Weekly in a statement at the time. “We have memories to last us a lifetime!”
Scroll down to see where each FBI: International character ended the series:
Wes Mitchell
Wes joined the cast during season 4, and after leading the Fly Team for a year he solved the serial killer case in Tokyo almost single handedly. Once the case was closed, he flew to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where he met his half-sister, Delila, after learning of her existence a few episodes prior.
Andre Raines
Raines (Carter Redwood) has been part of the team since day one. After nearly dying on the job a few seasons prior, he threw his name in the ring for a promotion to GS14 alongside Cameron Vo (Vinessa Vidotto). The series ended with Raines and Vo standing together as they got the call about who won the spot.
Cameron Vo
After becoming Wes’ right-hand agent during season 4, Vo decided to go out for the GS14 promotion along with Raines. While she was worried it would ruin their friendship, fans saw the pair holding hands in solidarity as they prepared to learn their fate. The episode, however, didn’t reveal who was promoted.
Megan ‘Smitty’ Garretson
Smitty (Willis) joined the team during season 2 as the FBI’s Europol liaison. In a surprising move, Smitty was noticeably absent from the finale.
Amanda Tate
Amanda (Christina Wolfe) became the team’s go-to tech girl during season 3 and a confidant for Wes throughout season 4. Even though she was stuck in Budapest, Amanda was an integral part of bringing down Lloyd in the finale.
