The team at the New York FBI field office tackles a case with a distinctly modern twist in this week’s “FBI,” airing Tuesday on CBS. In “Startup,” the death of an electric car CEO, killed by an explosion in his penthouse apartment, initially appears to be a tragic accident, or perhaps a targeted assassination. But as the investigation develops, the team uncovers a surprising lead: artificial intelligence may be behind the incident.

Aaron Ginsburg wrote and Peter Stebbings directed “Startup” which airs Tuesday, May 6th at 8:00 PM ET on CBS, and can also be streamed on Paramount+.
