Complete story — includes the ending

A cop friend of Sam's, who's suspected of being dirty, has disappeared, so Michael and the team jump into action to find him, only to learn that his partner is the dirty one and had him killed to cover up his crimes. To clear a good man's name, Michael and the team go to great lengths to make sure his partner is caught with stolen drugs, a tough task considering how self-protective he is. Meanwhile, Michael decides to give the list to Marv, who doesn't quite trust him, in hopes that it will help him and Jesse get their old jobs back, as Fi and Maddie worry about Michael disappearing again. Things go wrong, though, at the hand-off, as Marv is killed after being forced to hand over the list to one of Michael's biggest enemies: Tyler Brennen.
