Complete story — includes the ending
Michael arranges with Strong to have the CIA follow James' crew on a mission in Mexico, and Strong hires mercenaries to secretly help them ambush James' crew to kidnap their leader. In Miami, Fiona helps the effort by keeping an eye on Madeline, but, with James' men at the house, Fiona can't move until he's in CIA custody, except the operation fails. In the chaos, James, Michael and Sonya escape in opposite directions, culminating in Michael's reunion with an old acquaintance, Simon, and the revelation he's been running black ops for the CIA. With the CIA focused on James, the two look to do their part, but Simon's madness causes Michael to kill him, and, once everyone's safe, James blames Sonya. To protect her, Michael blows his cover and lays his life on the line, outlining Simon's influence on why he's now helping them, and James, amid mild dissatisfaction with Michael's confession, lets him live.
