- Michael's old spy partner Larry is back, and gets Michael in trouble with a cartel. Meanwhile, Michael needs Sam's help for Gilroy's latest black op assignment, and Nate is back in town with a wife and a proposition for Madeline.
- Nate proudly drops by to present his sassy wife, Las Vegas croupier Ruth Westen to everyone. Grudgingly he agrees to interrupt his honeymoon to look after his mother, who refuses to join them permanently. Mike has to handle his other visitor, former professional partner Larry Sizemore, who assumed Mike's identity to steal $2,000,000 from Colombian drug lord Carlos' Miami money laundry center. Larry eliminated 'sicario' Justino, but Mike decides to clear his name and save Jack Yablonski, the naive 'laundry man'. Meanwhile Sam hates researching flight data for Mason Gilroy, who lies about the purpose. As if shaken loyalty from Sam and Fi weren't bad enough, Mike gets bad surprise from Larry as well as Carlos.—KGF Vissers
- Michael said it's dangerous to say no to a spy, which was why he went ahead with a suggestion to sit in a jacuzzi with a black ops sociopath, Gilroy, who wanted to be able to talk freely. Gilroy wanted Michael to obtain six weeks worth of flight data, which made Michael very nervous. Michael asked him Gilroy to double his fee, then left.
Michael didn't get enough information from Gilroy, so he was going to have to go ahead with the mission to get the flight data. He wanted Sam to use one of his buddies to get him a temp job with the Coast Guard. Sam didn't like the plan, but decided to go along with it.
Michael noticed the door to his loft was busted, and inside he found his old mentor, Larry, who faked his own death. There was a dead guy on the floor of the loft, and Larry said the guy on the floor was at the loft to kill Michael.
Mike wondered why a hit man was in his loft. Larry admitted he used Michael's name in the process of stealing $2 million from Colombian gangsters. He killed four men when he hit a money laundering operation, and now the gang was after him (thinking he was Michael). Larry wanted Michael to help him kill Carlos, the gang leader, and he'd get Michael a new identity. Michael didn't want to be Larry's partner.
Sam and Michael came over to Fi's place, where she was prancing around in lingerie and a sheer robe. They decided to stash the hit man's body at Fiona's neighbor's apartment.
Michael went to his mom's house to meet his brother, who was in town with his new wife, who he met and married in Vegas. Michael pulled Nate aside and asked him to stay at the house and watch Maddy. Michael left.
Sam and Fi went to the Colombian gangsters' house and Fi worked on the security system so that they could watch the gangsters inside the house.
Sam got the flight info from the Coast Guard and Sam told Mike it better have been worth it. Fi was watching the video feed from the gangsters' house. They saw Carlos, the guy who wants Michael dead, sending a text to the dead hit man's phone. Carlos texted the hit man to hurry up with Michael and get over to a hotel to "finish the job." Michael said there was another target.
Michael went to the hotel, where Larry was already outside. Michael wanted to save the next target, an amateur named Jack who Larry had been working with. When a couple more thugs showed up, Michael went inside to get Jack. When the thugs were right outside the door, Michael tossed the bed's mattress into the pool a couple of stories below. Larry jumped first, landing on the mattress. Michael and Jack jumped at the same time, with Michael hitting the mattress and Larry landing straight in the pool and apparently breaking his foot on the bottom surface.
Michael brought Jack and Larry to Fi's apartment. Michael's new plan was to convince Carlos that the robbery was an inside job by a guy named Justino (the name of the hit man who was sent to kill Michael), and that it wasn't actually Michael and Jack.
Fi went to a bar with a fake Justino, making sure the bartender saw his tattoo and that everyone at the bar knew that Justino had just inherited a fortune.
Meanwhile, Michael snuck up on Carlos and held him at gunpoint and told him the story about Justino having been the one who stole from him.
Back at Maddy's house, Nate was trying to convince Maddy to move with him to Vegas. She wasn't having it.
Sam was going through the flight data and said the information was too valuable to hand it to Gilroy. Larry showed up at Fi's apartment and distracted Michael and Sam with video footage from the gangsters' house. They realized that Larry had pulled Jack into the bedroom and was about to cut his throat. Larry wanted to dump Justino and Jack's bodies with Carlos and take off with the cash. But Michael said the plan was that Jack was going to point Carlos back to the stolen money. Larry didn't like the idea.
Michael and Carlos staked out Jack together, and Jack pretended to get a call from Justino and arranged a meeting for a money exchange.
Fi, meanwhile, prepared to dress Justino's body and Larry showed up to help her and to have a little chat. Fi came over to Maddy's and pulled Michael aside. She was upset with Michael for helping Larry after having watched some of the horrible things Larry had done in three years of them working together. She told Michael that if he needed help with Carlos, he should ask Sam.
Sam had been busy going through the flight data and went old school to figure out which flight Gilroy was interested in. He traced it down to one day in the entire six weeks, where flights were diverted in a different direction. Sam wanted to give Gilroy just that one day's worth of information, for fear that Gilroy would sell the rest to the highest bidder. Michael reiterated that Gilroy wanted all six weeks worth of data, but Sam told Michael that if he wanted it all, he'd have to steal it himself. Then he left and on his way out he told Michael that if he wants backup on his meeting with Carlos, he should call Fi.
Carlos and Michael went to the place where "Justino" and Jack were going to meet and exchange Carlos' $2 million. Michael set them up from afar and they looked across the way to see the already dead Justino looking like he was napping in the front seat of a BMW. Michael handed Carlos a sniper rifle to shoot him from a distance, telling Carlos he didn't know what kind of backup Justino had. Carlos shot up the car, then went to find all the money in the trunk.
Carlos noticed that the cash had no security strips. It was fake. Carlos gave Michael a day to get the real cash. Larry called Michael, who told him to be at the loft in one hour. Larry tried to apologize for the last-minute switch. Michael was mighty upset with Larry for putting his name on the line. Larry wanted Michael to kill Carlos for a $1 million cut, but Michael didn't want to. Larry said there was no one else stepping up to help Michael.
Voiceover Michael told us that after a career spent doing bad things for good reasons, you might not always know where to draw the line ... until someone asks. Michael told Larry he'd kill Carlos.
Michael was home alone, in the dark, when Nate came over and asked why he hadn't returned any of his calls. Michael looked at his phone and realized that Larry had switched out his SIM card and had been forwarding all of Michael's calls somewhere else. That was why Michael felt abandoned and disconnected.
The next morning, Michael came to Larry and said he wanted to blow up Carlos' entire cash room to make the killing look like a car bomb. Michael said he moved the job to 3 o'clock so he could clear out as many people as possible from the building.
Michael called Sam to apologize and told him he was scrambling because his plan with Carlos fell apart. He needed ideas as to where Larry hid the money. Sam said if he were Larry he'd keep the money close, but somewhere that would make Michael look guilty if he (Larry) had to bail. Michael asked Sam to meet him at the loft to celebrate Sam's genius.
They found the cash in Michael's punching bag. Michael then apologized to both Sam and Fi for not listening to them. Michael said there was a part of him that's like Larry, but it gets smaller every day he's with Fi. Then he asked Fi to make "a very special bomb."
Later, Michael showed Larry a trunk full of explosives. Larry said they were going to have fun, but Michael told Larry he dropped off Carlos' money at the airport and that he and Carlos were straight. Larry was upset and pointed his gun at Michael. Larry then decided to leave Michael in the car, but Michael said there was no bomb. Larry realized Michael was framing Carlos.
Michael told Larry that the cops were on their way to talk to Larry Garber (Larry's current identity), the man who'd called the cops and saw guys with guns. Michael knew Larry would run rather than risk his investments and money. The cops showed up and Larry pointed them toward the car with the explosives in the trunk.
Nate and his wife packed up to leave, and Maddy asked Michael if he was sorry that she didn't move to Vegas. She said she enjoyed her life in Miami with Michael, and Sam and Fiona.
Michael went to meet with Gilroy, with Voiceover Michael telling us about weighing operational risks that forced him to balance between his own life and those of thousands of others. Michael gave Gilroy the flight data for just the one day he knew Gilroy was looking for, a flight from Chile to Poland that was registered to "a faceless corporation in Santiago." Michael asked what was on the flight, and Gilroy said it was a weaponized plague and a vaccine to match, "and they're worth a bloody lot of money."
Michael left and Sam asked Michael if he learned anything. Michael said he only learned that Gilroy is a good liar. He said it took Gilroy just a bit too long to come up with the bioweapon story, which meant they were back to square one.
