Complete story — includes the ending
In an attempt to win brownie points with Pearce, Michael teams up with Fi on an undercover CIA gig in South America, extracting a traitorous bioweapons expert and his wife. Once they find the couple, they discover the wife is unhappy about their situation and, despite her husband’s fears, secure a deal to win them to their side. The men shake off one of the couple’s Russian bodyguards but the women get trapped in an abandoned bar so, despite the husband’s willingness to cut his losses, Michael rescues them and allows the wife a deal for her testimony. Meanwhile, after following the money to Max’s killer, Sam and Jesse arrange a trap for him, but he doesn't bite and takes Sam prisoner in order to get a meeting with Michael. As they’re waiting and stalling on Michael’s behalf, he returns home and is arrested on the spot by Pearce, who, despite his protests, now thinks he killed Max.
