Complete story — includes the ending

Lincoln forces Michael to reveal the truth: Michael was contacted by Poseidon before his wedding with Sara; Poseidon revealed that Kellerman did not have any authority to exonerate Michael's team, offering legitimate exonerations in exchange for Michael faking his death, keeping the truth hidden from everyone and working for Poseidon. Michael's initial refusal led to Sara's arrest, after which Michael accepted Poseidon's deal. While Lincoln offers going to the airport and rendezvousing with C-Note's party, Michael decides to use the train station to leave Yemen. Cyclops works out Michael's plan and takes ISIL, intercepting Michael's party, who escape to a facility where Ja ambushes ISIL. They escape the building, but Sid is shot by Cyclops. Sid attacks Cyclops, but Cyclops stabs Sid, who handcuffs them together before he dies, leaving Cyclops handcuffed to his corpse, allowing the rest of the team to proceed to the airport. Meanwhile, C-Note's party arrives at the airport before ISIL attacks. C-Note and Sheba save a pilot, who agrees to fly them out of the country. They board a plane; but the pilot decides to fly before Michael's party arrives, which Lincoln approves of on the phone. C-Note's party takes off while Michael's is hunted by ISIL. In the meantime, T-Bag shows the photos to Sara, who confronts Jacob, who later attempts to prove his benevolence to her by having A&W and Van Gogh arrested.
