Many of the cases on "The F.B.I." involve very unusual stories. After all, who would want to watch mundane stories? But "The Condemned" is a bit more mundane...the sort of case the Bureau usually handles.
The story is about two bank robbers. One plan the heists and is the getaway driver (Martin Sheen), the other his dim-witted muscle man who does the actual bank robberies. The FBI is looking for them and finding them is made a bit easier after the dim-witted one finds a new girlfriend (Joan Van Ark), a very manipulative lady who sees her new boy toy as a ticket to fun and wealth. His partner, naturally, distrusts her...and there is a big blow-up brewing because of this.
This is a good but otherwise unremarkable episode. The acting is fine, the story interesting and the story enjoyable to watch....nothing great, but still quite good.
