Burn Notice s06e12 Episode Script

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 bitchy 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.
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.
Say hello to Tyler Gray the man who murdered your brother.
It's Gray! Don't move.
I got him.
Now we just sit wait for Card's extraction team.
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.
That he played both of us.
What happened to the targets? I have people looking -- they can't find a trace.
What, you think I forgot everything you taught me? I'm saying Michael Westen is dead.
I'm proud of you, kid.
Original Air Date on November 8, 2012 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 bastard 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 panties 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 ass.
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 bitch 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 ass 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 bastard 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 goddamn 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 bastard 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 bitches 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 ass.
" 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 bastard's crazy.
Yeah, well, he's not the bastard 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 bitch! 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 cocaine.
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.
