My name is Michael Westen.
I used to be a spy until
We got a burn notice
on you. You're blacklisted.
When you're burned,
you've got nothing --
no cash, no credit,
no job history.
You're stuck in whatever city
they decide to dump you in.
- Where am I?
- Miami.
You do whatever work
comes your way.
You rely on anyone
who's still talking to you.
A trigger-happy girlfriend
Should we shoot them?
an old friend who used
to inform on you to the FBI
You know spies --
a bunch of *** little girls.
family, too
Hey, is that your mom again?
if you're desperate.
Someone needs your help, Michael.
and a down-and-out spy
you met along the way.
That's how we do it,
people.
Bottom line --
as long as you're burned,
you're not going anywhere.
Nate, you're the only one
who can get to Anson
before he escapes.
We got him, man.
It is about time.
No.
Nate!
Ayn, I need something.
I need to disappear.
I might be able to arrange for
you to have a little privacy.
If you hide me,
I think it's only fair
that you be the one to find me.
That kind of cooperation could
knock years off my sentence.
This is a munitions warehouse
in San Miguelito,
Panama.
Say hello to the man
who murdered your brother, Nate.
It's him! It's Gray!
Don't move.
I got him.
Now we just sit tight
and wait
for Card's extraction team.
He said
it's already in the air.
Card isn't sending you
an extraction team.
How do you know
about Card?
Who do you think
sent me out here?
This was supposed to be
a suicide mission for you.
What is that?
Sounded like an F-18.
Card sent an air strike
into Panama? That's insane.
Please tell me it's done.
So, what the hell
do we do now?
When was your last
contact with Tom Card?
Yesterday,
When is your next contact
scheduled?
It was conditional.
On what?
My mission
being complete.
You mean me
and my friends dead.
Yeah.
That was the order.
Is there anyone else
looking for us in Panama?
You think I know that?
Look, I told you
everything there is to tell.
Are we done?
No.
Tell me
about Atlantic City.
I had an order
to take out Anson.
I carried it out.
But you didn't
just kill Anson.
True.
There was another guy.
He was my brother.
Yeah, so I heard.
You killed my brother,
and he wasn't part of this.
How do you figure?
Last I saw, he was standing
behind Anson with a gun.
He looked pretty proud
of himself.
He wasn't the target.
You could've waited
for a clean shot.
Clean shot?
Man,
that was 1,900 meters,
light crosswind,
off the roof of a beat-up
Toyota Camry, center mass.
I'd say that's a
once-in-a-lifetime kind of deal.
Mike, don't do it.
He wasn't a target.
He was my brother!
Hold on. Hold on.
Where I come from,
we do not execute prisoners.
Say it!
He was my brother!
That's right.
That's right.
And he's gonna get
what he deserves.
But you're not killing him
in cold blood.
Come on, Mike.
What did you think
the plan was, Sam?
We came here to deal with
this son of a ***.
We need
to finish the job.
Well,
the job has changed, Fi.
Now we know
this doesn't end with him.
Card was the one
trying to take us out.
Card is next!
Wait, what are you gonna
go after him with?
A rumor?
Right now this guy is the only
weapon we have against Card,
but we got to get him back
to Miami alive.
How are we gonna do that,
Sam?
We are stuck in Central America
with nothing.
We are dodging the CIA, the FBI,
God knows what else.
The last thing we need
is to be dragging that ***
around with us!
Okay, then we put
a bag over his head and
we ditch him somewhere. We give
ourselves a chance to get home.
Why not
have him call Card?
He can tell him
we're alive,
and he can put bull's-eyes
on our foreheads!
Listen, Mike, you could've
killed this guy back there,
and you didn't.
You know I'm right.
He's our play.
Now, I know this is tough,
brother,
but we just got to
keep our heads down
and get ourselves
back to the states.
But killing him now
It's a mistake.
Yeah,
I know it's a mistake.
One I'd enjoy making.
Original Air Date on November 8, 2012
Mrs. Westen?
It's Mrs. Arnold
from across the street.
Hi,
Mrs. Westen --
I'm -- I'm sorry.
You caught me
at a bad time.
I'm right
in the middle of --
I don't really know
how he got my number,
but your nephew
is on my phone.
My nephew?
Yeah.
He wants to talk to you.
Oh -- oh.
Yes. I'm sorry --
m-my line's been acting up.
Oh.
Thank you.
I'll return it
as soon as I'm through.
Thank you so much.
Oh -- okay.
Michael.
Mom, I'm fine.
I couldn't call your phone.
It might be tapped.
Look,
we have to be quick.
My phone's tapped?
Well, who's tapping my phone?
I can't get into that.
We're in Panama.
Michael,
what is going on?
We're finding a plane
to get back to Miami,
but we need your help.
The flight has to land secretly.
Sam has a hacker friend.
His name--
Why don't you
have the CIA do that?
That --
that Tom Card.
Why don't you call him?
Mom, he's the reason
I'm in trouble.
He's the reason
Nate's dead.
He knew I was close
to finding out
that he was
behind everything,
and he tried
to kill us all.
Oh. I'm sorry.
I don't --
I don't understand.
I don't have time
to explain everything, mom.
For now, you're just gonna
have to trust me.
Just act
like nothing's happened.
Don't tell Card anything.
Like nothing has happened?
That ***
called me an hour ago
and asked me to come back
to his office tomorrow.
Please, Mom.
We only have one chance
to take him down.
If he figures out
we're coming after him,
he will get away with it.
But, Mom,
first you need to --
Fine.
Just tell me about this guy
you want me to find.
Excuse me,
I'm looking for Jack Dixon.
Yeah, he's over there.
Excuse me,
are you Dixon?
Oh, hi.
Oh, is that your boat
down the way?
No.
Is the music too loud?
Can I get you a hot dog
or maybe a jello shot?
No, I'm -- I'm a friend
of Sam Axe.
I need a favor.
Sam.
Just a sec.
You said "Dixon," right?
'Cause I'm not Dixon.
H-has anyone seen Dixon?
Listen, lady,
hacking into F.A.A. records
to erase a flight from Panama --
that's crazy.
Are you saying
you can't do it?
No, of course I can do it,
but that's not the point.
The point is,
I'm finally out
from my house arrest,
and you're asking me to do
some seriously risky stuff here.
Michael and Sam
will pay you back.
It's not about the money.
It's about the principles.
You seem like a nice boy,
so let me tell you
about my principles.
If you don't do this
and my son gets back another
way, he's going to kill you.
If he doesn't get home,
I will kill you.
Okay,
let's erase this flight.
Okay. Let's go.
But the second we hit stateside,
you get 10 grand cash.
and a prisoner?
Whatever, pal.
Dos cervezas,
por favor.
The cash we got off of Gray
won't get us on a bus,
much less a plane.
No one's biting.
I might have
a little nibble.
Rico there
flies for his cousin's
cargo company.
Sounds
all sorts of shady.
They have a flight
to Houston tomorrow.
He offered me a ride
for free.
He likes me.
Rico know
you got friends?
I was gonna share
that little detail with him
once I'm on the plane.
With a gun
to his back.
So, that's our ride.
Not exactly first-class travel,
but it's better than nothing.
Make it a baker's dozen --
two more just came out
of the hangar.
What are they guarding?
Doesn't matter.
We don't have any other options
out of Panama,
and we need
to leave fast.
And you're sure the pilot
can escort you past security.
Trust me.
You hide
over there.
Once the plane
goes through the gate
and hits the taxiway,
I'll get Rico to open the doors,
and you run out
and you hop on.
Okay, and when the guys
with guns see us?
You run faster.
Run faster.
People often think the easiest
way past armed guards
is with high-tech equipment
or serious firepower,
but usually it's through
someone who already has access.
The key is picking an escort
who really likes you,
and it helps if they're fast
on their feet.
Who's she?
She's my guest.
She's flying up to Houston
with me.
I didn't hear anything
about this.
The boss know?
Of course my cousin knows.
He's the one
who approved her.
Why don't you call him?
But I'm warning you,
I just talked to him.
And he's not
in a good mood.
All right, Rico.
Enjoy the flight.
Thank you.
So, I get to ride up front
with you?
That's right, baby.
You're flying V.I.P.
I have never been
in a cockpit before.
You know what all these buttons
and switches and knobs are?
I'm a pilot.
That's what we do.
Next stop, Houston.
What are you doing?
I have a little surprise.
I like surprises.
Oh, good.
You're gonna really enjoy
the rest of the day.
Open the back doors now.
Okay, shady flight 101
now boarding.
All hijackers
proceed to the gate.
Okay, Mike,
that's our cue.
Time to boogie.
Move.
Ivamos! Ivámonos!
Irápido!
Tell the pilot to head to Miami
though the Río Duque Valley.
Stay below 4,000 feet.
Fire in the hole!
Back up, back up!
What the hell
are you doing?
Mike!
Stop the plane!
I can't. It's too late.
I'm out of runway.
We have to take off.
Imanos, arriba! Iarriba!
Looks like
we missed our flight.
We are not going there
without the men we left
on the runway.
Trust me, your friends
are probably already dead.
Put the plane down now!
I walked you
onto this plane.
I helped you
rip off my cousin.
He will not be happy.
Rico, I want you
to understand something.
Either you land this plane,
or I land this plane.
And I don't know
how to fly a plane.
Efficient ***-smuggling
operations can process,
package,
and distribute their product
without losing track
of a single gram.
They rely
on highly trained guards,
controlled access points,
and workers stripped down
so they can't
steal their product.
Isalganse ya! Iputas!
Conveniently, the same rooms
that keep drugs safe
are also great
for stashing prisoners.
So, this is better
than flying to America?
Yeah, well, I'd rather
deal with businessmen
than some vigilante
who's out for revenge.
Look, Gray, I know we're not
each other's biggest fans,
but we got
a serious problem here.
"We"?
No, there's no we.
There's me and the guy
who was seconds away
from executing me
in that warehouse.
What, you think
you can do this alone?
Gray, the only card
we have to play here
is that my friends
have the plane.
They're the geniuses
who just accidentally
ripped off a coke dealer.
I think maybe I'll just take my chances
with these guys, thanks.
You have no idea
what you're doing.
My cousin
will skin you guys alive,
and then he'll do
the same thing to me.
I thought you said
you were family.
I am,
and it means nothing.
He stabbed my grandpa.
He chopped off
my second cousin's --
Such a buzz kill.
One of the biggest problems
for any drug smuggler
is the drug-detection dog.
Their noses can be up to
10,000 times more sensitive
than a human's,
which makes it necessary
to mask the smell
with something else.
In Colombia, that means coffee.
In Panama, it's often
the catch of the day.
Fish?
Yeah, fish.
With a little
extra seasoning.
So, that's about a kilo
per fish,
What's that work out to?
Well, my currency conversion's
a little rusty,
but I'll tell you, that's more than
enough *** to get Mike back.
We need to hook the plane's
radio back up, huh?
No way. We're not risking them
finding our position.
Okay, then we need to find
a phone, call señor kingpin.
On the way down here,
I saw a road.
It was about a half a mile
south of here.
Okay, you two hitch a ride
into the nearest town.
I'll stay here with the plane
and Mr. sunshine in there.
F.A.A. security makes it
nearly impossible to break into
the air-traffic-control system
remotely,
but hackers have a saying --
"physical access
is total access."
The best way
to erase computerized records
on an incoming flight
is to put yourself in
the same room as the computer.
Okay, you're gonna wait outside
while I go in here.
It's the annex.
It's got all the overrides
for disasters.
I go in there, I work my magic,
I come out -- two minutes, tops.
Why are you strolling up like
you're going to the Winn-Dixie?
Isn't there
a security guard?
Yeah, Albert.
It's a friend of my dad's.
Well,
but not today, though.
Come on.
What do you mean,
"not today"?
That's not Albert.
If Albert's not here,
I can't get in.
He's not th--
you didn't think
to call first?
Call? This is
incredibly illegal.
Now come on.
No, we're not leaving.
This has to
happen today.
You're not listening to me,
crazy woman.
I can't get in
the computer room.
Okay, um
just tell me
everything you know
about your father's friend
Albert.
Where the hell is Albert?
Albert?
He's not working today.
Don't give me that.
I know he's here.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
He took a vacation day.
Well, not according to my friend
Patty at the salon.
She talked
to Lucy Peterson,
and she's been telling everybody
all over town
that she spends
her lunch breaks here.
Lady, you got the wrong idea.
He's boating.
Oh, yeah, he's boating --
up Lucy Peterson.
Is that where he is?
That their little
love nest?
Ma'am, ma'am, ma'am,
I'm the only one
in the building, okay?
This is a computer room.
How much does this ***
pay you to cover for him?
Albert!
I know you're in there.
Ma'am, ma'am, look.
Albert!
Ma'am! I'll show you, okay?
Excuse me.
Hi, Alb--
See?
No Albert.
Because he's on a boat,
just like I told you.
Now you have to leave.
Down there.
That's where they are.
Ma'am, ma'am.
There's no one down there.
That's storage,
okay?
Well,
I'm not buying it.
Ma'am, please.
Albert!
Ma'am, please.
I will show you
every room,
but then you
have to leave, okay?
So?
Michael and friends
are all set.
But, wow, Albert's gonna wish
he never went boating.
Just want my son
back in one piece.
They say,
"whatever doesn't kill you
only makes you stronger."
But when it comes
to torture devices,
that's pretty much never true.
The picana electrica
delivers shocks
at only 1/1,000 of an amp.
It's completely non-lethal,
but at 15,000 volts,
it's so painful,
you wish it was.
Oh, great.
Haven't seen one of those
since I was in Argentina.
What did you expect?
A back rub?
Just keep your mouth shut
and let me handle it.
Sorry
to make you wait.
Wasn't expecting
any visitors.
Of course,
I don't even know your names.
Our names are not important.
What is important --
Your names
are important.
You tried
to steal my plane.
Now,
let's start all over, okay?
My name
is Ramiro Vasquez.
I'm the owner
of the Vasquez Cargo company.
But I expect
that you already know that.
Now you're gonna tell me
who you are,
who you work for,
and where my plane is headed.
Can we talk about this
somewhere --
I'm Michael Westen.
This is Tyler Gray.
We don't
work for anyone.
Our friends
will be calling soon.
If you hand us over unharmed,
you'll get your plane back.
You think you two are worth more
than 400 kilos of ***?
I don't think so.
You know, I really didn't want
to have to do this.
I did not at all.
But I'm going to have to ask you
just one more time.
Where is my plane headed?
Our friends
don't want your plane.
They don't
want your drugs.
They just
want us back safe.
If you just wait --
You didn't
answer my question.
What about you?
You gonna be stubborn
like your friend?
Que lástima.
All right, listen, tough guy,
I'm gonna ask you.
Where's my plane headed?
I forget.
Aaaaah!
Well,
that is a sweet ride, Sam.
Can't believe you wasted
most of our cash
on that piece of crap.
Quit whining,
will you?
It had a full tank of gas.
Yeah, remind me never to go
car shopping with you.
Just hope
we have enough change.
Somehow I don't think
that's gonna matter.
Yeesh.
Bingo.
Right there.
Hola, Chico.
¿hablas inglés?
Sí, un poquito.
Ah, excellent.
What's your name, buddy?
Esteban.
I'm Carlos.
How are you?
This is my friend.
Tibbs.
They call me
señor tibbs.
Esteban, that's a nice little
phone you got there.
You think we could pay you
to make a quick call?
No, my dad said
no one can use it but me.
Okay, okay, muchacho,
no problem.
Tell you what,
how about if I buy
that phone off you for $20?
$20?
Wow, that's a lot of money
for a phone.
$40.
$40?
What the
This is all we got.
We're stuck in Panama.
Come on, kid.
Open up your heart.
Goodbye, Carlos,
señor Tibbs.
Okay. Okay.
So we're gonna have to steal
a phone from a 9-year-old kid.
He forced our hand.
Esteban!
Hey, Esteban, okay,
how about this?
How about this?
$20 and this cool
military scope.
Esteban,
this is the latest
in U.S. government technology.
So, this awesome scope
and $20
we're offering you
for your phone.
Okay.
Gracias.
What a good kid.
Gracias.
Hope Rico
gave us the right number.
All right,
give it to me.
So, you're clever enough
to get through my security.
Then you come tumbling
out of the plane, belly under,
como un par de gallinos.
Now, why is that?
What was that last part?
My Spanish
is a little rusty.
Hyenas?
You know what?
Go ahead.
Make a joke.
No, no, no. I -- I --
we had a disagreement.
Sí. ¿quién habla?
Yo soy the guy
with your plane.
Oh,
thank you for calling.
So, where is it?
Oh, somewhere between Costa Rica
and Colombia,
but you're not gonna touch it
until I get my friends back.
I hope
they're in good shape.
Hmm.
They're undamaged so far.
So, listen,
here's how it's gonna work.
First you're gonna take
some snapshots of my pals.
That can be arranged.
And then you're gonna
drop them off
at the Marriott
in Panama City,
smack dab
in the middle of the lobby.
When I get a call from them that
they are all fine and dandy,
you get the GPS coordinates
for your plane.
All right,
that sounds good.
But listen --
if I even get a hint
that you're
playing tricks on me
Hey, hey, stop, stop.
Stop it right now.
You hurt my friends,
that's a $12 million mistake
because I will
torch your product.
I'm gonna have my men
take those photos,
and then we can have
this little deal happen, okay?
Expect my call.
Seems like your friends
want to make a deal.
They still in Panama?
Yeah.
Why?
Whatever deal his friends
just offered you, I'll beat it.
Gray, shut it.
You let me walk,
I'll get you your coke,
your plane,
and a chance to kill the team
that ripped you off.
Finally something
I want to hear.
You can tell me
where my product is?
I heard the route
he gave the pilot.
It's more than enough
to track down your plane.
Okay,
this is the deal.
I help you,
these cuffs come off.
All right.
Okay,
they were flying to Miami,
northwest up
the Río Duque Valley,
steering clear of the radar
towers at Las Minas and Colón.
All you got to do
is show them that we're alive,
act like you're gonna
make the exchange,
then you will have plenty
of time to find your plane.
You're actually believing
this son of a ***.
What did I say to you
about interrupting, right?
You had your chance
to make a deal.
My men will get you
the photos shortly,
but I'm gonna need you
to return the favor.
I want to make sure
that every bit of my cargo
is accounted for.
It's all here.
It's getting a little gamey,
but it's all here.
I'll need pictures.
Every crate?
Of course.
I get the pictures,
we make the trade.
There are too many
mountains over here,
so they had to land
on that side of the valley.
There aren't that many
stretches of road
or clearings big enough
to land a plane.
You should have them
within a few hours.
I hope for your sake
that I do.
Lock him back up.
Helping a drug dealer,
getting four
innocent people killed.
What the hell
are you doing, Gray?
What am I doing?
I am completing
my mission.
I'm eliminating four threats
to national security.
National security?
We're just trying to find out
who killed my brother.
You were undermining the entire
intelligence establishment.
You were using Anson Fullerton
to compromise our --
Why the hell
would I work with Anson?
He destroyed my life.
Ah, yes,
tell whatever story you want.
I saw your file
with my own eyes.
And who gave you
the file?
Card?
And what was
in that file?
Some white papers?
Some untraceable
intelligence reports?
He called in an air strike
on you, Gray.
No, man.
That was meant for you, pal.
He didn't even know
I was there.
He didn't care
you were there.
I know
you're Card's guy.
I've been there myself.
I trusted him, too.
I know how hard it is
to accept the fact
that he played both of us.
Yeah,
here's that "us" again.
You understand this --
we are not on the same side.
Card used me to find Anson.
He used you
to kill him.
I didn't see through Card
until it was too late.
Do not make
the same mistake I made.
That's a nice try, Westen.
I know who you are,
and I know what you are.
The only mistake I made
was not killing you sooner.
Hiding personal feelings
when coming face-to-face
with an enemy
is one of the biggest
challenges for any operative.
The trick is to mask
one emotion with another --
hiding anger with excitement,
for example
or ice-cold hatred
with motherly concern.
Madeline.
Thank you so much
for coming by.
Won't you --
won't you please come in?
I realize how hard yesterday
must've been for you.
Have a seat, please.
And I -- I just want you
to know I feel your pain.
Thank you.
Why am I here?
Is something wrong?
It's probably nothing.
But there was a glitch
in our communications.
Has something
happened to Michael?
No. No. There's absolutely
no reason to believe that.
I actually wanted to know
if you'd heard from him.
No.
He said he would be unreachable
until he got back.
Right.
I'm gonna go off the record
for a second.
I used to leave an
emergency phone with my father
when I knew that I was gonna be
out in the field
for a particularly
long stretch.
Couldn't have been
more against the rules.
But it's family, right?
You and Michael don't have
anything like that, do you?
No.
Really?
No.
It's very important
that I get in touch with him.
No special arrangement?
When Michael was away
years ago,
I used to wait for a call,
a postcard, anything.
Eventually, I learned to live
without the postcard.
That way,
I was never disappointed.
Mrs. Westen,
everything is gonna be okay.
Something's wrong.
Vasquez
should've called by now.
Not necessarily.
Just be patient.
We're sitting on $12 million
of stolen ***.
It's kind of hard
to be patient.
Okay,
here we go. See?
Just takes a little faith.
Hello?
Señor Carlos?
I think it's the kid -- the one
we bought the phone from.
Hey, Esteban,
what's going on?
There are some angry men
looking for you.
They say
you stole their plane.
Uh, right.
Hey, tell me something --
do these angry men have guns?
Sí. Big guns.
Uh, okay.
Well, we got to go.
Thanks for calling,
Esteban.
You stay away from
those men with the guns, okay?
You were right.
Something's wrong.
They'll be here any minute.
We got to go.
We got to go now.
What? You can't just back
this thing into reverse.
They'll be all over us
before we get up in the air.
Okay, then we'll load the car
up, make a break for it.
No.
We're not running.
I think our best move is
to let Vasquez have his cargo.
Are you out of your mind?
He gets his coke back,
Mike's dead for sure.
Not if
I'm on the plane.
It'll fly
back to the airfield,
past the guards,
right up to the front door.
If I hide in there with a gun,
I can get to Michael in time.
Oh, come on, Fi,
that's crazy.
You know
it's our best shot.
I'll let you into the compound,
and you can back me up.
Fi, you're sure.
Just hold Vasquez off long
enough for me to get set up.
Okay, we're on it.
An anti-vehicle mine
is only effective
if it stops your target,
which means knocking out
the engine block or a wheel.
If you're short on supplies,
a heavy-gauge slug and some
smaller metal projectiles
should do the trick,
as long as you guess correctly
where the target will be.
They're coming, Fi.
Vasquez has more men
than we have bullets.
This better work.
My thoughts exactly.
That was fun.
I'm out.
Go. Now.
Go after them. Go.
But the road --
there are mines.
Go!
You let them get away.
Jefe,
I'm sorry, but you saw --
Make sure my product's in that
plane and get us out of here.
We've got some thieves
to catch.
Okay.
Okay, this is bad.
It's been two hours.
Maybe we should just
rush the place
and see
if we can find Mike.
With what, an empty shotgun
and Panama's crappiest car?
Come on, Sam.
We got a plan.
Let's stick to it.
Look, how long does it take
to get a damn plane in the air?
Well, you broke the cockpit
radio, remember?
They probably had to fix it,
turn the plane around, take off.
Yeah, or Vasquez
decided to drive his coke back.
Or they found out
where Fi was hiding.
Or she's on her way.
Bam.
Okay.
After you, Mr. Axe.
I believe we have a castle
to storm.
All right, listen.
I want this entire shipment
repacked.
We're flying in an hour,
or you guys are digging
your own graves, you understand?
Yeah.
Good.
All right, as for you
Primo, primo, primo,
you have to understand.
What was I supposed to do?
All right, listen to me.
I'm not gonna kill you until
I check the entire shipment.
But for every gram
that's missing,
you're gonna lose a finger.
And after 10 fingers,
I'm gonna cut off
something else.
You understand me?
Understood.
The problem
with a trojan-horse strategy
is that sneaking yourself
across enemy lines
is only half the battle.
If you make your move
at the wrong moment,
your brilliant scheme
quickly turns into suicide.
Nobody steals from me
and lives.
Ultimately, you just have to
wait for a lull in the action,
move fast,
and keep everyone quiet.
Not a word.
Aww,
where's that smile?
You should be happy.
I'm your best chance of getting
out of here in one piece.
I'm afraid
I got some bad news.
Your friends ran off like dogs
when I got to the plane,
so this conversation
is gonna have too on
a little bit longer.
So, the plane is
where I said it would be.
We had a deal.
The deal was for the plane,
the product, and the thieves!
Where are they?
If I were to guess,
halfway to the Costa Rican
border, the embassy.
Okay, listen to me.
They got somebody here?
They got a base?
What? Come on.
Talk. Tell me.
Come on!
I can't.
I just don't
know them that well.
I had just put the team together
to steal your plane.
I mean, they were
the best I could get.
It was a drunk,
an ex-con, and a --
I think he was a security guard
or something.
So these people
you just met --
they hung out here
with $12 million worth
of coke for you?
Huh?!
What can I say?
I'm that charming.
Rico's in the cockpit.
At this point,
he wants out more than we do.
I'll get the plane ready.
You guys go get Mike.
Okay.
I'm gonna find them.
The only question is how much
you're gonna suffer before I do.
You understand me?!
Do you?
Hey. Hey. Hey.
Hey!
You having fun
over there?
You want to catch
these thieves?
Every minute
that you waste on him,
they keep
getting further away.
Okay, I can find them,
but I'm done working on credit.
Give me your cellphone,
put me in front of a computer,
and take off
these damn cuffs.
I'll track them down
in an hour.
Back up.
Release him.
Get the hell away from him.
Wait, wait, wait.
Wait.
We had a deal.
Yeah, well,
I decided to renegotiate.
Wait, I thought you said
I was a murderer
and a traitor.
The guy who just took
is not the guy I read about
in that file.
Let's go.
Got any ideas about getting
the rest of the way out of here?
Yeah, run like hell
before they find Vasquez's body.
I don't speak Spanish!
You know,
if we live through this
you should think about
learning some Spanish.
I'll put it
on my to-do list.
All right,
forget the Spanish lessons.
I don't see
a way out of here.
What the hell
is that?
That is our way out.
Okay, here they come.
Let's go.
What's he doing with you?
I'll explain later.
All right, you gonna
stay in the plane this time?
Just get me
the hell out of Panama.
Come on,
Rico, let's go!
When we get back to Miami,
we're gonna keep
our heads down.
I'm going after Card,
and I'll need help.
Do I have a choice?
You saved my life
back there.
You bought yourself
a choice.
Well, I got
nothing better to do.
Just flushed my career.
Careers are overrated.
Right. It's not like
I was saving the world.
You know, going after Card
won't be easy.
He sees around corners.
He knows you.
He knows me.
That's what I'm counting on.
He'd never suspect
that I'm working with
the man who killed my brother.
If I could take
that shot back --
You can't.
Just
Just help me get the man
who gave you that order.
Any bright ideas
on how to dispose
of a drug smuggler's plane?
Well,
we owe my buddy Dixon.
Maybe he could
sell it on eBay.
You tell her about Gray?
I didn't
want to upset her.
Who does she think he is?
A CIA operative,
a pilot.
She doesn't even know
what Gray looks like.
Michael,
you have to tell her.
Fi, what?
Tell her that I'm working with
the man who killed her son?
Yes.
I don't like it, either.
I need Gray
to check in with Card.
Every hour counts.
He's already
been missing too long.
You made it back.
Barely.
Thank you, Mom.
Did you find the man
you were looking for?
Not yet, but soon.
In the spy world,
few moves can be
as game-changing
as turning
your target's trusted asset
into your trusted asset.
If it works,
you have the ultimate prize --
a double agent.
If it doesn't work,
people end up dead.
You know,
Card is usually on time.
I told you,
he's too paranoid.
That's why we need
to convince him he's won --
so he'll stop
looking for us.
So everything is resting
on Gray selling the story?
I guess it's a moot point
if Card doesn't show up.
Maybe we won't have to
worry about that.
Hey,
you're an hour late.
You're two days late.
I was worried about you there,
buddy boy.
Well, I didn't know who
I could trust, so I stayed dark.
You know, it's not too easy
to check in
when you're hitching a ride
on a fishing boat.
You made
quite a mess down there.
What happened
to the targets?
I have people looking --
they can't find a trace.
What, you think I forgot
everything you taught me?
Suddenly I'm gonna leave a
bunch of evidence lying around?
Are you telling me what
I think that you're telling me?
Yeah, I'm saying
Michael Westen is dead.
I'm proud of you, kid.
Do you ever wonder
what it would be like --
actually getting to enjoy
an afternoon like this?
I'm sorry. Who are you?
I came here with my boyfriend,
Michael Westen.
I need a rest as much
as you do, Fi -- believe me.
I'm glad
to hear you say that.
You've been getting about as
much sleep as a P.O.W. lately.
Admitting there's a problem
is the first step.
After we take Card down,
what do you say we go --
Hey. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.
It's just me.
It's true.
He came alone.
What?
You brought a lookout?
More like backup.
It's almost like
you guys don't trust me.
We were supposed to
lay low.
Why did you want to meet?
Card reached out to me.
He's getting comfortable.
I mean, obviously,
nobody found your bodies.
He's starting to think
that the F-18 incinerated you.
So, he wants me to do the same
to your loft.
He told me
to search your place
for anything connected
to this mess and then burn it.
You've got to be
kidding me.
Michael,
you can't expect me to play dead
while this ***
turns everything we own
into a pile of ash.
Fi,
this is a huge break.
We get to feed Card whatever
information we want him to have.
Do you want to hold on
to all of our old stuff,
or do you want to
nail Card to the wall?
Original Air Date on November 8, 2012
Fine.
But I'm not letting him
ransack and torch our home.
We'll do it together.
Planting false information
for an enemy to find
is a subtle art.
There has to be
enough solid information
to make it seem credible,
but not so much
it can be verified.
Do it right, and you can make
your target so paranoid,
they'll be ready to crack.
All right.
This should look like
we're just a few steps away
from connecting
Anson to Card.
Looks legit.
You think there's enough here?
Believe me -- questions are
scarier than answers.
You help him connect the dots,
show him how worried you are,
you can push
for more intel.
How many many of these
do I get to take?
Oh, I don't know, Fi.
Two or three?
It has to look like
all of our stuff has burned,
so all of our stuff
has to burn.
What the hell was that?
I thought nobody knew you were back.
Nobody does.
But most people
don't know we're dead, either.
And a good evening to you,
too.
What are you doing here?
You know her?
I'm Ayn. We go back.
All the way back
to Allarod federal penitentiary.
I just got out.
Criminal,
I got a serious problem.
You and I need to talk.
It's Michael, right?
I heard a bit about you
from this one.
Looks like
she wasn't lying.
Who is this person?
How -- how did you know
we were here?
I paid some neighborhood kids
to call if anybody showed up.
Little hoppers
deserve a bonus.
Y'all didn't even
turn on the lights.
Oh.
I guess I can see why.
We're not arsonists. It's, uh --
Not my business. Not why I'm here.
Why are you here?
Well, you know,
girlfriend here
helped spring me.
But so far, being out
isn't much better than prison.
I got a cop after me --
a dirty detective named Garza.
Well,
that didn't take long.
Hey. I've been keeping
my nose clean.
This is old business.
Garza's been haunting me
since I got home.
Yesterday he caught up to me
on the street,
told me point blank,
"You're gonna wish
you stayed in."
What do you think
he's gonna do?
I don't know.
But I know I need help.
It's just that right now's
not a good time.
But we're gonna help you
anyway.
Here's my number.
Fi, can I talk to you
for a minute?
Now is not a good time.
You call me first thing.
We'll go over the details,
and we'll get to work, okay?
Thanks.
I'll let you get back to
whatever this is.
What was that?
We're supposed to be
playing dead.
Well, I would have been dead
if it weren't for Ayn.
She saved my life
in prison.
I know the timing
isn't great,
but her problem
isn't gonna wait
till it's convenient for us.
We can't go up against a cop
right now. We just can't.
Fine.
Well, if that's the way
you feel, I'll do it myself.
What the hell
are you looking at?
You're supposed to be
burning down my house.
Took you long enough,
bucko.
It's not done yet.
Then why are you interrupting
my "me" time?
I found something.
It looks like Westen
was putting something together.
What? The --
You know what? Never mind.
This isn't the time.
You just go ahead
and grab whatever's got
your *** in a bunch.
Light a match.
You can brief me tomorrow.
Mission accomplished.
Card's spooked.
Time to light this place up.
We can take it from here.
Why don't you
give us a minute?
You okay? Are you okay?
It's the only home
we've shared.
It won't be the last.
Thanks for waiting up.
I'm sorry
we have to meet like this.
This story
that we've all been killed --
you won't have to pretend
much longer.
You smell like a barbecue.
Yeah, we had to
burn the loft.
"Had to."
Just like you "had to" work with
the man who killed your brother?
Did you think
I was stupid?
You go to Panama
to catch Tyler Gray.
It occurred to me
this morning
I haven't heard
his name since.
I'm sorry.
I didn't want to --
I know damn well why
you didn't want to tell me.
Tom Card is the reason
Nate's dead.
Tyler Gray is --
he's just a gun.
Yeah, well,
I want to talk to the "gun."
Mom, he won't be able to
give you the answers you need.
Well, maybe not.
But I lost my son,
and I get to ask the questions.
Set it up.
Well, your pal's got
a nice place here.
I'm starting to think Mike had
the right idea opting out.
He opted out
because he's being an ***.
You know how many jobs
I've helped him with?
Okay, but how many
of those jobs happened
while you were
supposed to be playing dead?
I mean, hell,
the only reason I'm here
is to keep you from blowing up
a police station and blowing our cover.
The point is, you're here.
Yeah, well,
I wish I wasn't.
I'm not too thrilled
about going to bat
for somebody
who just got out of jail.
Hi. Are you the people
who are supposed to help my mom?
Yeah, we are.
Right, Sam?
Hey.
When I went in, Amari didn't
know how to ask for breakfast.
Now he makes me eggs
every morning.
I've already missed
too much of that boy's life.
Tell us about this cop
that's coming after you.
What's his problem?
The man I went to prison
for killing.
My brother-in-law, Marcus.
He was
Detective Garza's C.I.
And she's the good guy
in this scenario?
Hey, I thought you said
this guy was cool.
No, actually,
I'm not that cool --
not when it comes
to killing police informants.
How about wife-beaters?
The son of a ***
nearly killed my sister,
and Garza let him do it.
I guess you did
what you had to do.
Why was Garza
protecting him?
Marcus was feeding him dirt
on the Garden Terrace Mafia.
Garza hates that crew.
They killed his partner,
and he's been out for revenge
ever since.
Mom!
There's policemen outside!
That's Garza.
And he brought my P.O.
This is gonna be bad.
He's gonna
violate my parole.
Is there some other way
out of here, like a back window?
They've all got bars
on them.
Well, then, we're just
gonna have to bust out.
Got a laundry room?
End of the hall.
Okay.
We'll go out that way.
I can't go with you.
Ayn --
if I run from my P.O.,
I really am guilty.
There'll be no way
to get me out.
Amari will go
back into foster care.
I can't watch that
happen again.
Please, take him with you.
Okay.
We need to move it.
They're on their way up.
Fi, give me a hand here.
Most
late-model washing machines
spin at speeds
of over 1,200 rpms
and create
more than 100 g's of force.
That's more than enough
to rip off your finger
Or pull a curtain rod through
a couple layers of drywall.
Hold on!
I'm getting dressed!
Open up, Reeds! Come on!
I got your P.O. over here!
Deny us entry,
I'm gonna throw your sorry ***
back in jail. You hear me?
Jesus.
What are you, deaf, woman?
Got a tip you were scoring drugs
down the block.
Go on.
Search it.
Is your boy here?
You leave my boy
out of this.
I've never done drugs
in my life.
You got no right
coming in here.
Back her up.
Back this girl up.
Calm down, ma'am.
You need to calm down.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Look at this.
Surprise, surprise.
Looks like you'll be finishing
your sentence after all.
That's not mine!
Yes, it is.
You kill a man, you do the time
and pay the price.
He planted that!
Shut your mouth.
Okay, Amari. Here we go.
Just a little trip.
Easy-peasy.
Okay, yeah, yeah.
Don't -- don't get the neck.
There we go.
Now, go on.
Keep searching.
The kid's got to be here
somewhere.
Hang on, all right?
Here we go.
What the hell was that?
Don't know.
Kid's not here.
Let him be.
He's at his grandma's house.
Don't tell me what to do,
killer. Now, let's go.
I'm gonna take you
back where you belong.
There you go. Free candy.
For real?
Yep.
I'm friends with the lady
who owns this place,
so you can have
whatever you want.
Now, look, uh I know you're
worried about your mom.
But we're gonna get her out,
okay?
I promise you.
If you need this guy to cop to
planting drugs on your friend,
blackmail
is the easiest way to go.
You know
what I would like to do?
I would like to march
into the nearest police station
and tell them
that he's dirty.
But I can't
because I am trapped
in the world's nicest
safe house.
Fi, what you need
is proof he's dirty.
Garza's never been able
to find another C.I.
to take down the crew
that killed his partner.
Let's give him one.
Well,
a new friend like that
could talk him
into doing some dirt.
Maybe steal some evidence
from police impound --
that would be enough.
But, of course,
the question is,
who could pass
for a gang member?
What?
I hate to ask.
Wow.
Seriously? Guys?
Now is good time
to go after a cop
on behalf
of a convicted murderer?
No, thank you.
Garza doesn't deserve
to call himself a cop.
And you're wrong about Ayn.
She's a good person.
She killed a guy, Fi.
So, as a person,
I'd give her, like, a "C."
C-plus tops.
Jesse, if you don't help,
that kid is gonna grow up
without a mother.
You know something
about that.
Just give me
the damn phone.
Let me call this ***
before I change my mind.
When posing
as a hard-core criminal,
the key is to come on strong.
You sit in the power position
in the room
and take up as much space
as possible.
Detective. Yo.
What's going on, baby?
And you never, ever show
any respect for the police.
I'm your date,
playboy.
Lucky you, right?
Shh! Shh-shh-shh.
You want to get down
on some food?
Listen,
thanks for making the drive,
but you got to keep your
*** voice down, all right?
My bad.
Here you go, Detective.
How you doing?
Jace Robinson's gonna solve
all my problems
with the G.T. Mafia, huh?
Don't be coming up in here
using my real name, man.
I told you on the phone --
you call me J-Train.
I think I would remember
an A.K.A. that stupid.
We got no record of you.
So,
who the hell are you?
Look, I ain't gonna be
all up in your system, man.
I'm new blood.
I'm from Queens.
I wasn't getting my due
up in the Apple.
I came down here last year.
Ka-blooey.
I'm blowing up.
You're "blowing up," huh?
That's right.
And you thought
your next logical step
is to become a snitch?
Okay, "A,"
let's not use that word.
That's an ugly word.
"B,"
I want to be your C.I.
Because the only thing
between me and the top
is the boss.
I can help you
take him out.
You're gonna help me
take down Sherrod Washington,
the man that killed
my partner?
I think you're playing an angle,
and I don't like it.
Of course
I'm playing an angle.
What the hell
you think I'm doing?
Look, Sherrod and his boys
go down,
that's what you call
a regime change, son.
Happens all the time.
And guess who's got next.
Ooh. Ooh.
You do this, Detective, you get
a nice, little, shiny medal,
you get peace in the Terrace,
and you get a partner.
How close to Sherrod
are you?
What I say?
We tight, man.
Okay.
Let's go find out
how tight you are, huh?
Yeah, let's do that.
You want to work together,
you're gonna have to
show me something, J-Train.
Sherrod's bar
right behind me.
You need to get inside
and go to his private office
and take a picture of it
with your phone.
Okay.
Now.
No problem, man.
I'll be back.
Hey, Jesse.
How's it going?
Uh, that depends.
How fast can you get down
to Alize in Overtown?
Better make it 10.
Garza's got me
on a scavenger hunt.
I got to get a picture of
the inside of Sherrod's office.
It's guarded
by a gigantic human being.
And judging by the looks
of this place,
I'm betting it's locked.
I'll be there.
Thank you.
Here we go.
Gray is headed over.
Hey.
Sorry I'm late.
No worries.
This is, uh
This is some heat we're having,
isn't it?
It's fine with me.
I like sunny days.
What did he say?
Something about sunny days.
The weather.
That's Card's
favorite recognition code.
He had different signals
for all his field ops.
What? Do you think we're blown?
I don't know.
But he must be worried
someone's listening in.
Wait, wait.
Mike, Mike, hang on. Hang on.
I mean, maybe Gray's
just giving him the all-clear.
Let's not jump ship
until we know where it's going.
See what I mean?
Westen was looking for people
who wanted Anson dead.
Long list.
I think he knew
you were on it.
Why do you think
we closed the loop?
It wasn't 'cause Michael
stopped sending me Christmas cards.
I get it. But if he was onto you,
he might have told someone.
It's under control.
Back off the caffeine,
champ.
Something is wrong, Sam.
He's soft-selling it.
How about if we give the man
If you're so confident,
how come I'm pulling triggers
and burning lofts?
That's a need-to-know,
Tyler.
Well, whatever this is,
I'm a part of it now.
There's blood on my hands.
Readmein.
Fine.
But not here.
Friday.
I'll show you the briefing
material, the whole lid.
We're done.
You'll hear from me.
Okay. See?
He dialed it in.
I think he just -- okay.
Damn it. Mike.
What the hell was that?
What was what?
We rehearsed this
five times.
And in no version
was there a recognition code.
I said no surprises!
He asked about the heat.
He wanted to know
if I'd been followed.
I had to let him know
we were clear.
You didn't push
for one hard piece of intel!
If you're running
some double game --
Back off!
I know what I'm doing!
Card is spooked.
If I had pushed too hard,
he would've shut down.
Give me time.
I'll reel him in.
I will get what we need.
You better.
Oh, nice necklace.
You know, I think I have
a matching bracelet
if you'd like to borrow it
sometime.
You got jokes.
The office is back there.
The boss is over there.
And beefy "T" has not moved
since I called you.
Uh, champagne?
The one on the top shelf.
And can I keep
the cork and the cage?
I'm a collector.
Can we not celebrate
just yet?
You still got to
pick your way in.
Did you get some tools?
What do you think
I'm collecting?
Clever girl.
So, how you gonna clear big boy
out of the way?
I'll take care of it.
Wish me luck.
Party people, what is up?
You.
You.
You look like a player.
Am I right, ladies?
Am I right?
Is he a player?
Look at him.
Why don't you
get up out of here, man?
No, no. Shh. Listen.
Listen. Listen.
Seriously.
I'm down here from Jacksonville
on business,
and I got a deal for you,
homey.
My man said get out of here.
I need you to --
Hey, Malik!
No!
I didn't want to do that.
Who's Malik?
Hey, no, no.
We don't need Malik
involved in this.
No.
False alarm, Malik.
We're good. We're good.
We're good. We're good.
Back to your business.
Bounce this fool.
No, no bouncing. Look,
I just want to talk to you.
When you in my club
You
Best
Listen!
That was fun.
That was fun.
We all learned some things.
You guys don't like money.
I dig it.
Don't let me see you again.
That's some good advice.
Here you go.
Whoo.
Hey, hey.
So, what happened?
What can I say, man?
Sherrod loves his drink.
It's a party up in there.
Right.
Did you get the shot or not?
What?
The picture. Do you have it?
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, man.
Whoop. Boom.
Just like you asked.
All right, Mr. train.
It looks like
you're for real.
Why don't you
go take a nap somewhere?
We'll be talking real soon.
Can't wait.
I ju-- ow!
Ow! Ow!
You should have
let me stop them.
I could have stopped them.
Yeah. That's debatable.
That one dude was three bills,
easy.
Ouch.
I hate this job so much.
Well, the hard part's over.
You're in.
Now all you have to do
is convince Garza to steal a gun
from police lockup,
we'll get him on tape,
and Ayn gets her life back.
Yeah, I get it.
But if Garza catches me
wearing a wire,
my kidneys are
gonna get another workout.
You don't have to worry
about that.
I have Sam
working on something.
We're gonna catch the ***
on tape from down the block.
Hey, you want to help?
Help do what?
Smart man.
Come over here.
Always ask that question.
I get myself
into so much trouble
helping people with stuff
without asking what.
Sit down.
You want to help us take down
the guy that sent your mom to prison?
Tell me what to do.
The two most challenging parts
of planting a listening device
are quick concealment
and power.
If your target
wears a radio for work,
you can kill two birds
with one stone
by bugging a duplicate power
pack and switching them out.
Do it right,
and you get a bug
that your target
carries everywhere he goes.
Okay.
Let's test it.
Chicken butt.
I read that, 10-by-10.
You ready, Jesse?
Yeah,
just give me the thing.
Thanks --
for helping my mom.
Sure thing, little man.
I asked you
to keep this on the low.
You got me strolling
up to a police station?
You lazy mother--
Don't you worry about it.
No, no.
I'm worried about it.
Matter of fact, give me
your phone and your radio.
I'm serious.
Really?
I'm turning
both them *** off.
I ain't getting bugged today.
There.
Wait. What?
You taking them apart?
You're damn straight.
My boy tiny's
doing 10 to 15
because of some electronic
voodoo the Feds pulled.
Just tell me
what we're putting on Sherrod
so I can get the hell
out of here, man.
Just a dime bag.
I figure I can pull a street
rip later, and whatever I --
A dime bag? Hell no.
How am I
supposed to step up
if Sherrod's gonna be
out on bail the next day, man?
I could have framed him
for possession my damn self.
I came to you to put him away
for good. Come on, now.
What exactly
did you have in mind?
You go get a gun
from an unsolved case.
What? No.
I'm not doing that.
You fire a few shots
into a phone book,
I plant the shells
in Sherrod's desk.
I said I'm not doing that.
Planting a little weed
is one thing,
but stealing evidence
from impound?
That's too much.
Come on, man! Man!
You got this rep
like you this outlaw cop
who breaks all the rules.
"Ooh, Garza, he's a bad man.
You better watch your ***."
And now what? You scared?
I thought you did what it takes.
I thought
you got things done.
Fine.
Yeah,
that's what I thought.
Now, you meet me
at River Park -- 2:00.
You bring the gun.
We'll pop a couple off.
And we finish this.
Well, where's Gray?
He's down by the docks.
Mom, are you sure
you want to do this?
I need to do this.
I've seen this before.
A victim wants to meet the
criminal, and it never helps.
Michael, just stop.
I just don't want you to put
yourself through something
that's just
gonna make it worse.
Trust me --
that's not possible.
Ma'am.
Madeline Westen.
Thank you
for agreeing to meet.
I want to start by saying
how sorry I am --
I don't give a damn
about that.
All I want from you
is honest answers.
I want to know what goes on
in the mind of someone like you.
What's your training?
I was a sniper
in the Marines.
Why'd you join the CIA?
I wanted
to serve my country.
That's all? Huh?
Do you have a hard time
getting close to people?
Bad childhood?
Is that why
Card picked you?
'Cause you like
hurting people?
He picked me because I'm
very good at what I do.
Then why did my son die
If you're so good?
I was worried
about the wind --
speed,
trajectory, distance.
And so I switched
to a higher-caliber gun.
I knew it would go through.
I took the shot anyway.
It was my job.
Did you even know who he was?
No.
He was my baby boy.
He liked cars, action movies,
and graphic design.
He loved his family.
His name was
Nathaniel Elias Westen.
The next time you fire a bullet
that could end someone's life,
you know their name.
Yes, ma'am.
I'm sorry.
Okay.
It's been an hour.
When are we pulling the plug
on "Candid Camera"?
As a spy,
your job is often to get people
to break the rules.
Okay. That's him.
Here we go.
You use their greed,
their fear, or their rage
to make them betray the things
they value most.
With a professional spy
pushing them hard,
most people
abandon their principles.
What the hell
is all this?
But sometimes,
very occasionally, they won't.
What's wrong with you?
You bring the gun or what?
I thought about your plan.
Sorry.
I'm not doing it.
That's kind of the opposite
of what we wanted on tape.
And when a target decides
to stick to his principles,
you can suddenly find a mission
going very, very badly.
What? Now all the sudden
you're Captain America?
Please, I'm --
You don't think
I can be?
Okay, what the hell?
Hey, hey, Fi,
hang on. Hang on.
You think you know me?
You're wrong.
Sherrod killed my partner.
He shot him down
in front of witnesses,
only no one came forward
to testify,
so the case fell apart.
I had nothing to do with that,
man.
You're all the same --
every C.I. I ever worked with.
I'm not gonna make
this mistake again.
Are you cracked?
I thought you wanted revenge.
No.
What I want is my partner --
you hear me?
That's what I want.
I want my partner back.
So, what? Now you folding up
shop? It's just a gun, man.
I said I'm not stealing evidence
from any case to close mine.
I'm not screwing cops.
I'm not screwing victims.
That's not who I am.
You want to run
the Garden Terrace,
you might just
get your chance.
But if I'm still alive
to see it,
I'm gonna take you down,
Train.
Okay, hold on.
We had a deal.
No.
Now we've got a new deal.
You stay the hell away from
the Terrace this afternoon.
And keep your mouth shut.
Oh, so, what? You gonna
take on Sherrod in his project.
Well, his project
happens to be in my city.
Hey, you go down there,
you're gonna get thrown
off a roof, man.
Yeah?
Well, then maybe this time
he'll go down for killing a cop.
Hey, man.
My God.
That ***'s crazy.
Yeah, well, he's not the ***
we thought he was.
He's gonna get himself killed
trying to bust Sherrod head-on.
And if that happens,
Ayn rots in prison,
Amari goes to foster care
And we got a cop killed.
Fi, what's wrong?
Ayn's cop just chose
a very inconvenient time
to decide to become
a better man.
And that makes you upset?
He's about to get himself killed
in Overtown.
Sam and Jesse
are on their way,
but I don't know
if they're gonna make it.
Now you're in?
I should have been in
from the beginning.
Just make sure you approach
on Howard from the northeast.
Yeah.
Fi's on her way.
She's bringing Mike
and a trunkload of weapons.
Here comes Garza.
Our father which art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom me
How close are Mike and Fi?
About five minutes.
Okay.
Well, I think
they're gonna be too late
because Garza
is getting ready to die.
for they kingdom is the power
and glory forever and ever.
Amen.
Maybe he's
just really religious.
Sherrod, come out here and face
me like a man, you little ***!
Nope, you're right.
He's gonna die.
Your time is up.
Sherrod!
I know you're home!
Sam, we got to stop him.
With what? A butterfly net?
Well, I'm not just gonna sit
here and watch a cop get killed.
If he's not calling for backup,
I'll do it for him.
I'm taking you in!
There you are.
Sherrod Washington,
you're wanted for questioning
about your involvement
in the sale and distribution
of ***.
You're wanted for questioning
about your involvement
in the prostitution
of underage women.
And you're wanted
for questioning
about your involvement
in the death of my partner,
Officer Anton Sproles.
I'm taking you in.
Damn, Garza.
You turned this place
into a ghost town.
I guess we're just missing
a ghost, huh?
You're just making things
easier on me, Sherrod.
Good. Now I'm taking you in
for assaulting a police officer.
How's it going, boys?
What?
Did you stop for coffee?
Garza's over there
getting beaten to death.
Yeah, and they got no problem
doing it right out in the open.
All right, then.
Let's show them how
professionals send a message.
Give me the radio.
Fi -- that car.
Jesse -- that car.
Big?
Bigger.
Use the tracer rounds.
When I open up, you join in.
We'll make it look like hell
is raining down on their heads.
Mike, I have so much more fun
when you're here.
Hey.
Yo, hold up. Yo, hold up.
Man,
you should have never
stepped foot on the Terrace
by yourself.
Attention,
Sherrod Washington.
Step away
from the detective.
Tell me you hear me,
Sherrod.
We can hear every word
you're saying.
Who is this?
Well,
that's a good question.
Allow me to introduce myself.
My name is
And I'm from
the Department of
Whoa!
Whoa!
You want to find out
where the next one is,
or do you want to
back away?
Y'all can have
this pig! We're out!
No, I don't think so.
You're not going anywhere.
What the hell
do y'all want?!
I want you all to surrender
your weapons to Detective Garza.
After all,
he just arrested you.
You heard the man.
Drop your weapons.
Thank you.
Thank you, whoever you are.
Be good, Garza.
Oh, awesome!
Say, "thank you."
Thank you.
You're welcome.
I don't know how you did it,
girl.
When they pulled me
out of lockup this morning
and said that I was free to go,
I thought,
"that criminal
is stone-cold magic."
Well,
I got a lot of help.
I even got a little
from Garza himself,
but you probably don't want
to hear about that.
Oh, I think I do.
Well, we tried entrapment,
and we were gonna blackmail him.
That didn't happen.
He just -- he just decided
to do this.
Sometimes when you push people
past their limits,
they realize
they have no business
standing so close to the line.
Well, good for him.
Man learned something
took me six years to realize.
Some choices we make
You want to take them back,
but you can't.
I'm just glad
to have a second chance.
Me too.
Michael.
Hey, Mom.
Big day tomorrow.
We start gathering evidence
against Card --
the secrets he's keeping,
the reason Nate died.
There's no reason
Nate died.
I understand how you feel,
mom.
I want you to know that
he's gonna pay for what he did.
I promise you that.
And all the things I've done,
they'll be worth it.
Michael,
I'm leaving Miami.
I guess that would be
a good idea.
It will sell the story
that we really died in --
No, it's no ruse.
It's permanent.
Your Aunt Jill said
I could stay with her,
and I've been missing her
for a long time.
So, that'll work.
Don't you think
it's a little drastic?
I can't keep watching you
turn your soul inside out,
working
with these monsters --
Tyler Gray and Card
and whoever's next.
It doesn't matter.
There's no one next.
After this, no one.
Right.
I need you.
I can't.
I can't go on
living in a place
where everything reminds me
of the sons I've lost.
I'm still here.
I don't know about that.
I need a new beginning,
Michael.
And I want you
to do me a favor.
When this business with Card
is over
I want you to start over,
too.
When you're on a high stakes
intelligence-gathering
operation,
concentration is key.
Whether you're in a car
or on the street
or doing your surveillance
poolside,
you have to stay focused
at all times.
Look alive.
Gray's here for the meeting.
All clear over here.
We'll stand by.
Because even
the slightest detail
can mean the difference
between a successful mission
and a complete disaster.
You're a little edgy there,
buddy.
Don't.
We have a job to do.
You're worried about your mom.
It's okay.
It's perfectly normal.
Quiet.
Good to see you, Tyler.
Another sunny day.
It's a scorcher.
You gonna invite me in, or are
we gonna talk in the hallway.
Okay. What the hell?
We just lost him.
Wait. Is that?
No signal.
Frequency jammer.
That's not good.
And that's not good,
either.
Card brought a team.
Wait.
Mike, hold on.
Look, look,
if he wanted Gray dead,
he wouldn't have brought
all these guys.
He's not gonna kill him.
He's gonna bring Gray in
and hang everything
around his neck --
Panama, Nate,
Anson, all of it.
We got to haul Card
out in cuffs
and take our chances now
before his team's in place.
Keep an eye out.
I should go in there
with you.
If Card's people are coming,
I need a heads-up.
Get down to the window
at the end of the hall
and keep an eye out.
Hello, there.
Show me your hands, Tom.
What are you doing?
Gray, he has a weapon
trained on you.
Michael Westen.
Back from the dead.
Not just me, Tom.
The whole team.
It's over.
The truth's coming out.
Put the weapon down.
Right.
Right after you, killer.
Tom, drop the weapon.
This is between him and me,
sport.
I should have known
something was going on.
Especially with those
just-too-cute files
that showed up
from your loft.
Tom.
Put the weapon down.
Don't do --
What are you gonna do?
Shoot me?
You're not the only guy in
the room who has a team outside.
I told my people that I was
coming to see an unstable asset.
God damn it!
I don't want to do this.
I don't want to do this.
I don't want to do this!
Don't! Don't.
I'm so sorry.
He painted me into a corner
the minute
he kicked down that door.
No. No, Tom.
He killed your brother!
Hands on your head!
Hands on your head!
Listen to me, Michael.
Gray killed Anson.
Gray shot your brother.
He murdered Nate.
He did that.
Right there.
He did that.
You ordered him to.
You're responsible.
I never wanted Nate dead.
I would never
have taken that shot!
You tried to have me killed.
And that is
my own personal hell.
It wasn't
supposed to go like that.
You were like a son to me.
You are
out of your mind.
We both know that it is a big,
bad world out there, Michael.
And guys like you and me --
we make calls.
We get up in the morning
and we know the ends
justify the means.
Why do you think Anson
had to go? I'll tell you why.
Because he knew
what I had going on in Yemen,
in China, in Pakistan.
Someone has to carry the bag
on the front line.
SoI pull the trigger on
a couple of really bad guys
or we roll the dice
on a couple
of really bad conflicts.
You're talking about treason,
Tom.
Michael, might be time for you
to grow up, my friend.
You're not my friend.
But I was.
And I damn sure can be again.
We can do things, Michael --
great things.
Necessary things.
There's a long to-do list, and
there's nobody left to do them.
You wiped out
the last batch.
It's just you and me now.
Clock's ticking.
What do you think?
Can we -- can we put
all this behind us?
Huh?
Can we move into the future?
I'm so proud of you, son.
