Complete story — includes the ending

A mathematician with a history of paranoia and schizophrenia (Guest Star: Michael Weston ) asks Michael to look into suspicious killings being done under the radar through the defense firm he works at, which is actually selling out spies and diplomats. After finding the employee responsible, the team initially tries to get her caught with an illegal copy of an encryption program, but when she goes after their client they have no choice other than to use him to force her hand. In the meantime, Michael works overtime to track down a spy stationed in Miami in hopes he can help him get his old job back, but, much as he respects Michael, the man, Agent Garza, can only guarantee that the government will review his file. With Michael determined to pursue this dream, Fi very reluctantly agrees to support him.
