The upcoming Season 3 finale of CBSâ
FBI is going to feature a showdown between cartel leader Antonio Vargas (David Zayas) and Special Agent in Charge Isobel Castille (Alana De La Garza). Jeremy Sisto, who plays Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine, has teased the conflict in the upcoming finale.
One of the most wanted men in the world, Antonio Vargas was responsible for killing an FBI agent seven years ago and was taken down by the Bureau earlier in the season. The takedown led to Vargasâ associates nearly blowing up the FBI building and Isobel didnât necessarily handle it as well as she should have when she trusted Vargas at one point. Jeremy Sisto teased to TV Insider, which cites an episode description for the finale promising a long-awaited showdown between Isobel and Vargas, about how Isobel will have to approach the situation:
That Dick Wolf magic can t be stopped.
If youâre a parent youâll understand how much headspace your kids take at any given moment, and when there is some concern about the wellbeing of that child, itâs even more consuming. But thereâs no time to take a break from the job of saving lives. Though the FBI is focused on trying to prevent further violence, injury, death, destruction, they are also present for the emotional fuel behind whatâs happening, the human psychological causes of the issue.
In this case, [a father is] reaching into the depths of their own passion, love, and crossing boundaries that would otherwise be something they would never do. Jubal is emotional as any compassionate human being would be. It can be an exhausting ordeal to be compassionate in this job, but that is the kind of law enforcement we need. And truthfully anyone who doesnât have that ability to have compassion probably shouldnât be on the job.
