FBI: International is a 2021 Police Procedural drama from CBS, created by Dick Wolf. It's the third spin-off show from FBI, which ties in the crossover from the former's Season 4 premiere episode and from FBI: Most Wanted's Season 3 premiere episode.The show centers on an FBI International Fly Team, stationed in Budapest, Hungary.note Most of the scenes for the show are shot there too. Scott Forrester (Luke Kleintank), is in charge of the Hungarian-based Fly Team. Working alongside him is Jamie Kellett (Heida Reed), Andre Raines (Carter Redwood) and Cameron Vo (Vinessa Vidotto), who's the latest FBI agent to be stationed there. Assisting them is Europol officer Katrin Jaeger (Christiane Paul), who works with them as a liaison officer between FBI and Europol and helps them navigate various European law enforcement/intelligence agencies while reminding them not to do anything that would be seen as interfering in local affairs.In Season 2, Jaeger is reassigned to another post in Europol for oversight of all Europol operations. Megan "Smitty" Garretson is assigned to work alongside the Fly Team as her replacement. After a joint operation investigating the Norseman Brotherhood in Stockholm, Sweden, former U.S. Army Special Forces and Deep Cover Agent Damian Powell joins the Fly Team at Scott's request.In Season 3, Jamie Kellett leaves the Fly Team and is subsequently replaced by Amanda Tate.Two seasons have aired with the third season airing in early 2024. | |

Yodel Land | |
| FBI: International / int_137ef87b | comment |
Yodel Land: Played with in "Secrets as Weapons", which is set in Switzerland and begins with the robbing of a bank transport in the Alps (the modern twist being that the currency is Bitcoin). One of the victims in the beginning asks sarcastically if people "still yodel over here". The local cop also invokes Swiss neutrality twice first when allowing Webb to negotiate with the robbers, then as Ironic Echo when he refuses to arrest Forrester for punching Webb. | |

Ripped from the Headlines | |
| FBI: International / int_1616e13 | comment |
Ripped from the Headlines: "Trying to Grab Smoke" has a story arc that's partly inspired by the GirlsDoPorn scandal. "One Kind of Madman" is based on the Moscow theater attack that ended with the use of gas to knock out the hostages. Scott even warns the National Police Service against doing such a thing. "Get That Revolution Started" is based on the case with Jürgen Conings, a Belgian soldier who deserted and targeted Belgian public health doctor Marc Van Ranst as he was advising Brussels on COVID-19 measures. "Cowboy Behavior" has a suspect, Mark Shaw, taking advantage of underaged girls and promoting himself as a masculine figure on the internet is similar to Andrew Tate and his cases of supposedly sexually abusing women in Romania. "Remove the Compromise" is based on the debate on whether to consider Latin American drug cartels as terrorists or not, dating back from when Trump was president. | |

Villain Ball | |
| FBI: International / int_1cc2ea8d | comment |
Villain Ball: Ivan Kuprevic presumably has big money given his big country home and estate, yet he answers the door personally both times the FBI comes snooping around, gets no in-place security, and keeps the kidnapped girl unguarded in his property. All Gary Milgrave had to do was wait for the FBI to arrest his wife and give him his son. But he wanted her to suffer more, causing their would-be fates to be reversed (she cleaning her name and winning full custody of the child, he going to prison in a foreign country). Kristian Hess lets a hostage see his face and tells his partner to kill her right in front of her, which pushes her to escape and allows her to identify him later. If he had just kept his ski mask on or killed her by surprise, he would have gotten away with it. | |

Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: Kent invokes this when caught, claiming that he will use his fortune to fight extradition in the courts and muddle the waters further by suing Forrester's team. It falls flat and he's handed immediately to O.A. to take him back to America. | |

The Greatest Story Never Told: "Fencing the Mona Lisa" ends with the Fly Team being told that news of them killing/arrest ex-Wagner mercenaries for stealing a 3M22 Zircon missile from the Russian military will not be made news. Possibly because it can increase further tensions between Russia and with countries that support Ukraine's right to defend itself. | |

Bittersweet Ending: In "The Soul of Chess", the Fly Team and the Polish SPAP were able to protect an American journalist's local asset from being harmed by Russian-backed assassins. While the journalist's widow wanted to call out the FSB for tolerating it, she was told that doing so will force them to hunt down for other investigative journalists covering anything that Moscow may be afraid to let the world know. And considering the things that FSB have been controversial about lately.note This includes reports of them being present in Ukraine and assassinating unwanted persons in parts of Europe. | |

Corrupt Politician: In "Pilot", the Fly Team arrests Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Fedir Rusnak for trying to assist Kent in entering Ukraine because once he's there, the US government can't officially request Kiev to extradite Kent back.note Ukraine and the US are signatories to the Council of Europe’s Convention on the Transfer of Sentenced Persons. So if Kent was able to get to Ukraine, he'll have to be arrested by Ukrainian National Police and serve some prison term in the country before he can be transferred back to American custody if conditions are met. | |

Terminally-Ill Criminal: In "One Kind of Madman", a group of terrorists led by Ivo Kostov takes a Concert Hall full of multinational students and their families hostage, demanding a fortune transferred for their safe release. The team's efforts to resolve the situation are further hampered by the discovery that Ivo, previously a minor member of an Albanian Separatist group known only for petty crimes, is dying of a fatal blood clot and is thus fanatically committed to doing something meaningful for his cause before his life comes to an end. | |

Wham Episode: At the end of "The Secrets She Knows", General Finley tells Forrester to stop using his office as a means of investigating what happened to his mother. The end of "Chew Toy" has Scott meeting with his mom in Transnistria. "Copper Pots and Daggers" mention that the American woman arrested by the General Directorate of Security (GDS) is being arrested for ulterior motives. The GDS planted the artifacts in her luggage as a pretense in order to determine if she's working on behalf of the NSA. Which is true. And the Fly Team was forced by the NSA to launch a rescue op so that GDS can't find out that she's an NSA agent. "Fencing the Mona Lisa" end with the FBI Bucharest office being attacked by an improvised bomb. | |

Jurisdiction Friction | |
| FBI: International / int_c2676b00 | comment |
Jurisdiction Friction: Expectedly, with the FBI Fly Team to local law enforcement/intelligence agencies. Katrin has to remind Scott that any attempt to get involved in a local police/intelligence matter needs to get forwarded to their local counterparts. To emphasize this, "Pilot" has the Fly Team forced to leave Ivan Krupevic's mansion by Croatian police because they don't have any legal authority to be there, even though the team has suspicions that he's tight with Kent. The Pilot also has O.A. from the New York office (original FBI) joining the team to catch Colin Kent. Forrester believes this trope is at work and tries to get him out, but relents when O.A. says that he's there because It's Personal and doesn't want to direct or take over the investigation. They butt heads again when O.A. wants to arrest Kent on the first opportunity but Forrester wants him to provide evidence on other pedophiles first. Played with in "The Edge". Forrester has genuine conflicts with the Hungarian police, but his big, showy disagreement with Jaeger is actually a ruse to make the suspect lower his guard and lead them to the kidnapped boy. "Close To the Sun" has Jaeger forced to stay in Budapest while the rest of the team head to Northern Ireland as, thanks to Brexit, Europol and the United Kingdom are on very poor terms so her liaison position has no purpose. | |

Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!: The Fly Team in "American Optimism" is not pleased that they got briefed that the new ambassador in Madrid is someone who has a career in pharmaceuticals and don't have any background/working experience in international relations. He just got appointed because he made a lot of contributions in the last presidential elections. | |
