Complete story — includes the ending
An old friend (from Episode 2.6 "Bad Blood") comes to Michael after his brother, Michael's childhood best friend and an ex-con, is killed by a gangster to cover up the assassination of the gang's leader. Working off tips from an informant, they hatch a plan to make the murderer reveal stolen cash so they can rat him out to the police, but they lose key information when the gangster sends a hit man to kill their source. To keep his friend from taking justice into his own hands, Michael decides to use the gang's internal conflict to sow mistrust and force the gangster to tell the cops everything. Meanwhile, the team tries to get a leg up on Anson and take his leverage away to help Michael, except all they find is a military antenna for sending encrypted messages, so Michael is resigned to using his CIA clearance to go ahead and make Anson a ghost again by downloading the virus onto their servers.
