Full information on the back-to-back cases that comprise the full hour follows below.
"Whitey Bulger: The Missing Mob Boss" (10:00-10:30 PM, ET/PT)
After being tipped off by a corrupt FBI agent, notorious Boston mobster Whitey Bulger, eventually accused of 19 murders, went on the run in 1994. With hopes of bringing an end to the 15-year hunt for Bulger, the FBI's Most Wanted fugitive at that time, the Bureau enlists the expertise of two hard-charging agents from outside of Boston, Tommy MacDonald (a retired FBI Special Agent who worked with the NYPD on the Joint Bank Robbery Task Force and Violent Crimes Squad in New York City) and Phil Torsney (a retired FBI agent who served on the SWAT team and worked on the Violent Crimes Squad in Cleveland before joining the city's newly formed Fugitive Task Force). The agents sit down with Cindy Coppola to walk through their experience tracking down Bulger.
"Gangs of Newburgh" (10:30-11:00 PM, ET/PT)
When gang warfare overwhelms the small town of Newburgh and makes it the most violent city in the state of New York, FBI Supervisory Senior Resident Agent James Gagliano (who supervised SWAT operations, a mission in Afghanistan, was a member of the elite Hostage Rescue Team and spearheaded the FBI Hudson Valley Safe Streets Task Force in 2008) taps into the U.S. military surge strategy to hatch a plan that will dismantle the rival gangs in one day. Gagliano sits down with Kristy Kottis to discuss how his plan was essential in taking down some of the most dangerous rival gangs.

DESCRIPTION:
(from CBS's web site, October 2024) We’ve seen the wildly successful movies and shows, but what are the real FBI agents thinking when they come face to face with the unimaginable? Can they save a hostage, apprehend a killer, and thwart a terrorist? And who do agents confide in after the dust settles? They unravel their stories to each other -- the way real FBI agents talk to one another, with elbows on the bar with the grit left in. From Craig Turk, co-creator of the CBS drama FBI, and former FBI agent turned producer Anne Beagan. Each episode has agents meeting up at a legendary watering hole — just down the street from the FBI’s New York headquarters. This is where they’ve celebrated their triumphs and told “the real stories behind the stories” for a generation. Some of these agents, including former undercover operatives and members of the Bureau's highly specialized Hostage Rescue Team, are telling their tales for the first time. The dangerous missions carried out by the FBI agents nearly every day, here at home and around the world. Throughout the series, FBI TRUE gives viewers a look at never-before-seen investigative material like undercover surveillance video, recorded interrogations with hostage takers and terrorists, and personal photos from the agents themselves. Sometimes these cases will be infamous. Sometimes they’ll be unknown. But in every instance, you’ll be hearing the story from the agent who lived and breathed every detail. Cases profiled on the series include the Boston Marathon bombing on it’s 10th Anniversary, the Golden State Killer, the siege at Waco, Texas on its 30th Anniversary, the Oklahoma City Bombing, the D.C. sniper attacks, the San Bernardino Mass shooting, the Benghazi terrorist attack, the 2016 NYC Chelsea bombing and many, many more. Even if you think you know the case - you’ve never heard the stories by the agents on the ground. |
