Complete story — includes the ending

Michael joins Jesse on what is supposed to be a simple security job, protecting a billionaire businessman from corporate spies, yet it quickly devolves into a serious hostage crisis at a private airport, with Maddie among the prisoners. From opposite sides, Michael and Jesse distract the criminals with a wild goose chase to keep those in danger out of harm’s way and then, once they’re safe, point the cops in the bad guys’ direction. Meanwhile, with the team split due to uncertainty over Michael's status as a murder suspect, Fi and Sam strong-arm a programmer into seeing what the assassin was hiding on a computer he tried to burn. Once they’ve recovered the data by using a computer lab that’s under police surveillance, Michael is forced to hand over the evidence he’s compiled to Pearce, with some key information – like the true killer’s name -- held back.
