"My name is Michael Westen." "I used to be a spy until..." "We got a burn notice on you." "You're blacklisted." "When you're burned, you've got nothing -- no cash, no credit, no job history." "You're stuck in whatever city they decide to dump you in." " Where am I?" " Miami." "You do whatever work comes your way." "You rely on anyone who's still talking to you." "A trigger-happy girlfriend..." "Should we shoot them?" "...an old friend who used to inform on you to the FBI..." "You know spies -- a bunch of bitchy little girls." "...family, too..." "Hey, is that your mom again?" "...if you're desperate...." "Someone needs your help, Michael." "...and a down-and-out spy you met along the way." "That's how we do it, people." "Bottom line -- as long as you're burned, you're not going anywhere." "Listen to me, Michael." "Gray shot your brother." "He murdered Nate." "You ordered him to!" "Guys like you and me -- we know the ends justify the means." " Mike, what'd you do?" " I did what I had to, Sam." "Fi, how we looking?" "There's a full tactical support team on-site, and some heavy hitter seems to be running the show." "It just became my mission in life to put you behind bars." "All of you." "Pretty flowers." "I didn't bring them." "A friend of Nate's must have come by earlier." "A friend." "Are we friends now, Bly?" "Olivia Riley is coming for you." "Your actions have put her reputation on the line." "At this point, she doesn't care who she has to hurt to get to you." "Sam, you all right?" "Mike, you made me a promise." "You swear to me that you're gonna make this right." "I swear to you I'll make this right, Sam." "No, no, no, no, no." "Come on, Sam!" "Sam?" "Sam!" "Sam?" "Sam!" "In any kind of emergency situation, an operative's greatest enemy is panic." "The spike of adrenaline, the increased blood pressure, and the loss of any sense of time can make it impossible to think clearly -- at exactly the time you need a clear head the most." "In those moments, it takes all your training, all your willpower to pull yourself back from the brink." "Jed, it's Fiona." "We're on our way." "Look, I don't care who's there." "We're coming." "Get ready." "Come on." "Sam?" "!" "I can't wake him up, Fi." "We'll be at Jed's in two minutes." "Go, Fi!" "Go!" "Fiona, I am in the middle of a party." "Party's over." "My friend needs help." "Are you freaking kidding me?" "He's dying." "No, he's not dying." "You're not gonna let him die." "Everyone out!" "Okay, no." "I want him out of here." "I am serious!" "I'm more serious." "Okay." "Okay, come on." "That's it." "Here." "Let me just -- let me get this." "Not the...pool table." "Okay, this -- this doesn't look good." "I-is the bullet still in there?" "Yeah, 9mm, close range through a car door." "Through a car door, sure." "Okay, he's got internal bleeding." "The round is probably lodged up against his spleen." "Get it out!" "Okay, does this look like a surgery theater to you, Fiona?" "I have a little medical bag to stitch minor wounds and pull splinters." "I don't do full-on procedures in my house." "Well, you do today." "What do you need?" "He's lost a lot of blood." "He's gonna need a transfusion." "I'll take care of that." "In an emergency, a blood transfusion can be as simple as running a tube between the major blood vessels of two compatible donors and letting gravity do the rest." "Emergency surgery is a little more difficult." "Often, the most you can do is sterilize whatever tools you have on hand, keep the wound clean, and hope for the best." "Okay, now I just got to put that..." "Wait a minute." "What -- what is it?" "I am not getting a pulse." "We're losing him." "Well, why aren't you doing anything?" "I-I am doing something." "I'm holding in his spleen." "He needs CPR now." "Wait." "Hold on." "Stop, stop, stop!" "He's breathing again." "You did it." "You did good there." "Burn Notice 6x18 Game Change Original Air Date on December 20, 2012" "== sync, corrected by elderman ==" "In many ways, it's easier to function during combat than after." "In a fight, there's always something to do, something to focus on." "Later, when you're dealing with the consequences, the only thing you can do is wait and hope." "Hey, Mike." "You look worse than me." "Sam." "Oh, it's good to hear your voice again." "Christ." "Was it that bad?" "Yeah." "It was all kind of a blur getting here." "I had this vague memory that..." "Fi gave me mouth-to-mouth?" "Did that happen?" "Yeah." "You get pictures?" "I guess I forgot." "It was a little hectic." "Yeah." "Where the hell are we?" "We're at a doctor friend of Fiona's." "We brought you here after you passed out." "How's your mom and Jesse?" "They'll be here soon." "We're gonna stay here as long as we need." "No." "Mike, man, come on." "You guys should just go, okay?" "Get out of town." "I mean, obviously, I'm in no shape to be on the run, so you're gonna be much better off if you " "It's not gonna happen, Sam." "Mike, you know damn well as well as I do " "Sam, you are gonna rest or I'm gonna give you something to make you rest." "You're a stubborn son of a bitch, Mike." "You were supposed to be here 20 minutes ago." "Yeah, we were picking up some new wheels, and someone was dragging her feet a little bit, wasn't she?" "Oh, excuse me for not being wild about going on a car-theft spree." "How's Sam?" "Well, we stopped the bleeding and closed him up." "He's stable." "Good." "That's something." "For a second there," "I was thinking something I didn't want to be thinking." "Should we just, uh, put our stuff in here or what?" "No!" "No, no, no, no." "You -- you can't put your things anywhere." "Fiona, who are these people?" "My friends." "Oh." "Well, this is my house, and these are not my friends." "Well, that's unfortunate because that makes you my enemy." "You're not my enemy, are you?" "Whatever." "This is gonna cost you extra." "A lot extra." "Put it on my tab." "Love the new landlord." "So, what's the plan now?" "We're working on it." "You might want to get comfortable." "We're gonna be here a while." "There's a reason most people don't sleep well in new places." "The brain goes on alert in unfamiliar environments, sensitive to possible dangers." "Add some very real dangers, and the chances are low that you'll get any shut-eye at all." "Mom." "Didn't your mother ever teach you not to sneak up on people?" "Sorry." "I was just checking on everyone." "Couldn't sleep either, huh?" "Not really." "I've been trying to figure out what to do." "Sam's too sick to travel, and Riley's gonna find this place eventually." "We can't stay here and we can't leave." "Now you know what life with your father was like." "How did you deal with it?" "I made a choice and I lived with the consequences." "We all did." "I can't do that." "I know you can't." "Your father couldn't do it, either." "Once he saw something he wanted both ways, he'd just do whatever he damn well had to do to have it both ways." "Usually, it was the rest of us who paid the price." "But he was a genius at it." "You got that from him, honey." "You'll figure something out." "I'm gonna go check on the others." "You okay, Mom?" "Yeah, I'll try and get some sleep now that damn dog stopped barking." "Dog?" "Yeah." "The neighbor's dog's been yapping." "Finally, it shut up." "Wasn't the clock just on?" "Michael, what's going on?" "Shh, shh, shh, shh." "Someone cut the power." "Hide behind the desk, don't move." "Do it." "Modern night-vision goggles provide visibility in near total darkness, adapt to changing light conditions, and provide better contrast and resolution than the human eye, which is why most assassins aren't just confident in the dark, they prefer it." "As good as they are, though, night-vision goggles still have a significant weakness." "They make it easier to see what's in front of you but tough to see what's coming at you from the side." "Mike?" "Mike, you okay?" "Mike." "Yep." "Great." "Thanks." "Who are they?" "I don't know, but..." "It sounds like they didn't come alone." "Oh, great." "You sure you're good?" "Yeah." "Yeah, they're out there." "Shooting at them's gonna be a problem." "I can barely see them." "I can help you with that." "When fighting at night, attackers usually have the upper hand." "They know where the defenders are and can fight from cover, concealing their position and number." "You ready?" "Yeah." "The best defense is to even the playing field by taking away the darkness." "In the army, that means M224 illumination mortars, but if you're short on heavy artillery, a flaming quart of scotch will work, too." "They're running." "They're running." "All right, we're all clear." "We won't be for long." "Why?" "I took a look at the bodies." "This is a cartel tattoo." "Cartel?" "Why " "The same cartel we went after earlier this year..." "For the CIA." "What are you saying?" "Someone sent these guys." "They knew our names, photos." "They had high-res satellite images -- government images." "Riley?" "She couldn't get us, so she gave the job to a cartel who wanted me dead." "Nice and clean." "A CIA officer sends a drug cartel after us?" "Yeah." "So she's gone from capturing us to killing us." "What are we gonna do?" "The only thing we can do." "We take the fight to her." "It looks like we're clear." "Yeah, for now." "They're gonna start checking the motels sooner or later." "That's why we have to move first." "Yeah, about that plan." "If Riley's really coming after us with a cartel kill squad, shouldn't we be trying to stay, like, as far away as possible?" "The fact that she's using them is the best weapon we have." "If we can get her caught " "That's a big "if."" "We can't just all waltz into a police station right now." "Who will listen to us?" "Jason Bly." "Bly?" "Michael, are you crazy?" "He wants to arrest you." "I know." "But he's the only potential ally we have." "He knows Tom Card was dirty and he has a thing about CIA officers breaking the rules." "Well, he's not just gonna take our word for it." "We're gonna need some evidence." "How are we gonna manage that?" "Use me." "No, Sam." "You're in no condition." "This can work." "Riley knows that I'm hurt, so she's gonna be watching the hospitals to see if I turn up." "You drop me there." "You scram when she shows." "Fi and Jesse can plant a bug and a tracker on her car." "How do we know she's gonna go back to the cartel, Sam?" "Well, I'm just gonna have to rattle her cage enough to make sure she does." "I mean, she's already losing it, clearly, so it shouldn't take much." "In the meantime, I can see a real doctor, which would be good because, you know, I got shot." "But if it doesn't work, Sam, Riley would have " "Mike, if this doesn't work, we're all screwed." "No, Sam." "I can't allow it." "You can't allow it?" "I thought this was a team, not a dictatorship." "You heard any better ideas?" "He's got a point, Michael." "Damn right I do." "Call Bly, Mike, set the meeting." "When you're being hunted, it's a good idea not to go to meetings at the scheduled time and place." "Often, the best approach is to show up before your contact has even left for the meeting." "Nice ride." "Come on, man." "So I'm guessing we're not meeting in Hialeah." "I thought I'd save you the trouble." "Gas mileage in a Crown Vic has got to be brutal." "I'm getting the sense that you don't trust me." "I'm not trusting many people these days." "But if it's any consolation, I trust you more than most." "Aww." "I assume we're negotiating the terms of your surrender here then?" "Actually, I want to talk about something else." "No, no, no." "Sorry, Westen." "There's nothing else to talk about." "Bly, listen to me." "Please!" "Riley has gone rogue in a serious way." "She sent a hit team after us." "She's working with a drug cartel." "I'm aware that she's been playing it fast and loose, but a drug cartel?" "That's a serious accusation." "I'm supposed to take your word for this?" "No." "But you can see it with your own eyes." "I'm putting a plan in place." "You interested?" "We had a deal -- you surrender, you help with my investigation into this Tom Card mess." "Card is dead, Bly!" "You want to waste time investigating a corpse or going after someone who's selling out the Agency as we speak?" "Okay, fine." "Thank you." "I'll be in touch." "Hey, I'm interested to know -- what happens if your plan doesn't work?" "If it doesn't work, it's probably 'cause I'm dead." "You all right?" "Well, I just had a bullet plucked out of me yesterday, so I think I'm doing pretty well considering." "So, uh, what do we do here?" "Pick a number or what?" "No, you have a hole in your side." "You go right to the front of the line." "May I help you?" "Hey, sweetheart." "How you doing?" "I guess I need to see a doctor." "What's the nature of your injury?" "He was shot." "Yeah." "I was cleaning a gun, and it went off." "It was the damndest thing." "I'll go get a doctor." "Good idea." "So, Mike, you sure you want to be here when this goes down?" "This plan only works if Riley sees me here." "Plus, you need a doctor." "I need a good mojito." "That's what I need." "Well, you're out of luck." "I overheard an orderly saying they're fresh out of mint." "Damn, Mike." "This reminds me of Kuwait." "You remember that?" "Lugging you for 6 miles in a sandstorm?" "It's hard to forget." "Yeah, well, I'll never forget it, either." "Dr. Ryan to pediatrics." "Come on." "All right, this is it, Sam." "You ready?" "Yeah, I'm gonna be fine, buddy." "I got the easy job." "I get to lie in a bed." "You get the big part." "So, listen, Mike, you promised me that you would make this right." "Don't let me down." "Okay, boys." "All right." "Get him to examination bay 1." ""Examination bay" -- I like the sound of that." "Sir, you can wait here." "For a fugitive, getting medical attention is a big risk." "Doctors have to notify the police of all gunshot wounds, fake names are flagged by insurance computers, and hospital security is often hooked into law enforcement." "All of which is bad if you're trying to stay off the grid but perfect if you want to attract some attention." "Hey, Fi." "How's it going?" "We're in the van out front keeping an eye on things." "The parking lot just got more crowded." "Do we have a visual on Riley?" "Yeah, your other girlfriend has arrived." "Got another CIA vehicle, about half a dozen guys, and local police, too." "That's why the security guard decided it was a good idea to hang out at the front entrance." "Are they coming in now?" "No, not yet, but it won't be long." "Look, Mike, we're gonna need a lot of eyes looking the other way if we're gonna make it to Riley's car." "So whatever you do, make it spectacular, man." "That's what I was planning on." "Wish me luck." "Excuse me, sir." "I need to speak with you for a moment." "Sir!" "Suspect is fleeing!" "Suspect is fleeing!" "Move!" "Get out of the way!" "Suspect's on the southeast side of the building." "All right." "That's your cue." "You sure you don't need help?" "Yeah, I got this." "Escaping a larger force is about limiting your pursuer's options." "Using a narrow path takes their vehicles out of the equation, but if you have time to set your escape route beforehand, the best way to win a foot chase is on two wheels." "Westen's trying to escape on a motorcycle in the back of the building." "Go, go, go!" "Westen!" "Move, move!" "Son of a bitch!" "Mr. Axe." "Good to see you again." "Morphine drip." "Wow." "You must be in a lot of pain." "Some." "I've had worse hangovers." "Don't worry." "This won't take long." "I only have one question for you." "Well, then I guess we're both out of luck, 'cause I got zero answers for your one question." "Is that right?" "See, because I think you're gonna tell me how to find Michael Westen." "Oh, yeah?" "Why do you think that?" "Well, I'll tell you, Mr. Axe." "I'm replacing your painkiller with a mild stimulant." "This should keep you awake, thinking about my questions." "Unfortunately, it also increases your sensitivity to pain..." "A lot." "Doesn't matter." "I got nothing to say." "We'll see how you feel after a few hours without pain meds." "Anyway, we got enough information from the things we found on you to start a search, so..." "Oh, hey, uh, before you go, I do have one thing to say." "I'm all ears." "You know, I was slowing Mike down." "I'm not anymore." "You took the gloves off, sister." "You called in a hit on his mom." "So you don't have to worry about finding Michael Westen." "'Cause he's gonna find you." "And when he does, he is gonna end this." "Well...we'll see about that, Mr. Axe." "Oh, God." "Oh, son of a bitch." "You okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine." "You sure?" "We're doing surveillance on a CIA officer." "I liked it better when the plan was to go..." "Get away from this." "Well, at least the hard part's over, Fi." "Yeah, I wish I could believe that." "Riley's on the move." "And she is not a happy lady." "Here." "It's me." "We need to move our appointment up." "This thing is getting way out of hand." "Just meet me." "I'm not talking about this over the phone." "3:00 p.m." "Whatever Sam said to her worked." "She moves fast." " Michael?" " Yeah, Fi?" "It looks like Riley's gonna meet her cartel friends." "Time for your show-and-tell." "I'll see you there." "In general, spies are more involved in gathering intelligence than gathering evidence." "Espionage methods are generally not approved by police or admissible in court." "So when it comes to getting someone arrested, your job is to get the ball up the field before handing it off to someone who's in a position to put it in the end zone." "You dragged me all the way out here for this?" "Fi and Jesse tracked her here across three counties." "Oh, yeah?" "Where are they at now?" "In the trees on the other side of the dock, covering the marina." "Are they here to protect you from her or from me?" "Who says it can't be both?" "It's an awful lot of trouble to watch a woman stroll along the water." "A woman who doubled back and checked for tails all the way here." "It's suspicious." "That's not enough." "You promised me Riley in personal contact with the cartel." "You'll have it." "And if I don't?" "If this mystery contact doesn't show?" "Do I get to bring you in as a consolation prize?" "Hey, you guys in place?" "Yeah, we're here." "Good, 'cause there's a big-ass yacht coming in." "Looks like this party's about to get started." "They're here." "You ready?" "Why are you here?" "The plan was no more meetings." "Yeah, well, the plan changed the minute your boys got their asses handed to them by Michael Westen." "Hey, those were some of my best sicarios." "Then get some better ones and twice as many!" "Listen, you want a pass from the CIA?" "You want help with the D.E.A.?" "Then you better start holding up your end of the bargain, and that means Westen's head on a plate." "Westen." "He got lucky once." "It will not happen again." "Was -- was that worth the trip?" "I have a lead on his location." "One of his friends just checked into a hospital." "I have a motel key and some calls we pulled on his cellphone." "Good." "Come aboard." "We'll find Westen and we will finish this." "Unbelievable." "Selling out the CIA and the D.E.A. to a drug cartel?" "This is the kind of thing that ends up in a congressional hearing." "And the key witness at that hearing?" "Let's just say someone's future got a little brighter." "Nice job, Westen." "Listen, Bly, for what it's worth, I appreciate it." "All right, all right." "Just don't get too gushy on me." "Bly, marina security is here." "We should probably move." "Excuse me." "Can I talk to you for a second?" "Yeah." "What can I do for you?" "Oh, just wondering what you're doing here." "We've had some vandalism in the area recently, and I need to check on everybody who " "Agent Bly, CSS." "We're part of a law-enforcement operation that's in progress." "Yeah, w-what kind of operation?" "It's classified, I'm afraid, which is why we'd appreciate it if you kept this quiet, if you don't mind." "Oh, sure." "Sure thing." "Sorry about that..." "Officer?" "Close enough." "Bly, the security guard's with the cartel." "What?" "What are you talking about?" "Grenade!" "What the hell was that?" "Oh, God." "Fi, no, no, no." "You can't." "There's too many of them!" "We got to figure out what's going on." "You want to tell me what the hell just happened?" "I'll handle it." "Hey, it's me." "Michael, what just happened?" "The marina security guard was working with the cartel." "It's bad." "The evidence -- it's all gone." "And, Fi..." "Bly's dead." "Oh, Michael." "I thought you..." "I was right there with her, man." "I thought we were leaving without you." "I'm fine." "You think we can get to the road this way?" "Yeah, if we're gonna go, we better go." "Mike, seriously, we got to go." "No." "All the evidence we had on Riley just burned up in that car." "If we leave empty-handed, she gets a free pass on all of this." "Michael, what are you talking about?" "One man is already dead." "We're outnumbered." "We're outgunned." "There's nothing we can do." "No, we have to deal with Riley now, otherwise Bly just died for nothing." "And our best chance is while she's still here." "Now, if I can make it over to the seawall," "I can make it onto that boat." "You want to get onto the boat, that boat?" "The boat that belongs to the people that's trying to kill us." "What -- what are you gonna do when you get there?" "I promised Sam I would make this right." "Now, you can go back to the car and you can leave, but I have to stay here and do this." "You're gonna need help getting to that boat in one piece." "All right, we'll lay down some cover fire as a distraction." "Just make it quick." "We're gonna be ducking some serious bullets over here." "Okay, I don't know what Mike has planned, but it better happen quick." "We won't be able to hold out here." "Just give him time." "If we stick around and whatever he's planning doesn't work..." "It will work." "It has to." "Why are we moving?" "I can't be on a cartel boat in open water." "I'm almost out of ammo, and those guys are getting closer." "They stopped." "What?" "The boat's leaving." "The boat's leaving." "Remind me -- is that a good thing or a bad thing?" "I have no idea." "W-wait here, señora Riley." "Everything is under control, okay?" "Armando, get " "Yeah, I wouldn't." "Drop it, Westen." "I don't think so." "Do you have any idea what you're doing?" "Who this boat belongs to?" "I know exactly who this boat belongs to." "Then you're not as smart as I thought you were." "The cartel already wants me dead." "I don't think this will make much of a difference." "What about the Coast Guard?" "It looks like they're on their way to meet us." "Yeah, I know." "I called them." "I told them about a well-armed drug boat in their waters." "They were very, very interested." "Most people don't think of the Coast Guard as being particularly well-armed." "Most people are wrong." "A Coast Guard patrol boat is armed with two .50-caliber machine guns and a 25-millimeter cannon, which means it can take out anything short of a battleship." "Motor vessel Zazu, this is the U.S. Coast Guard off your port beam." "Heave to and stop your vessel." "I repeat -- this is the U.S. Coast " "What are you doing?" "You realize if you ignore them, they're gonna fire on us?" "I'm counting on it." "Are you crazy?" "You're the reason we're on this boat, Riley." "You're the one who sent the cartel hit squad after me." "We finish this today one way or another." "So you want me to call and confess." "Is that what this is?" "Fine." "You win, Westen." "You got me." "Just call them off, and I'll come clean." "No, you'll talk your way out of a confession as fast as you make one." "If you're as good as I think you are, you made arrangements to make it look like" "I was the one working with the cartel." "You falsified accounts in my name." "You made up communication logs." "You spun a web of lies to cover your ass." "If the Agency found out about that, that's something you couldn't explain and that's what I want you to give them." "That's ridiculous." "I never did anything." "I bet both of our lives you did." "It's really the smart play." "I mean, it's a great plan, but it only works if I'm dead." "It still might work, but you will die with me." "Now, that was a warning shot, and you know the Coast Guard." "They're not very patient with situations like this." "I'm getting nothing on the radio." "Attention, motor vessel Zazu, stop your engines immediately or we will be forced to use destructive fire." "Let's get their attention." "Mount 2-1, report when you have them on target and tracking." "On target and tracking!" "Battery's released." "Commence fire." "I think it's time to make that call." "Are you really gonna go through with this?" "You're gonna kill us both?" "My friends have suffered enough." "It ends today." "No matter what the cost." "Well, you know what, Westen?" "I got a bit of bad news for you." "This little idea you have about who you think I am, what you think I would do, it's a fantasy." "It's a creation of your own twisted mind." "Then I guess we have nothing more to talk about." "They're increasing speed." "Mount 2-1, load 100 rounds of high explosives and stand by to engage." "I'm not taking chances." "Locked in and ready to fire on command." "Attention, motor vessel Zazu, stop your vessel immediately or we will fire on you." "You have five seconds to comply." "5, 4..." "All right, I'll call!" "Just call them off!" "...3, 2 " "Coast Guard, Coast Guard, this is motor vessel Zazu." "Captain, I think they're trying to hail us." "Gunnery station, stand down." "Cease fire!" "Motor vessel Zazu, slow to 5 knots on a down swell and prepare leave for my boarding team to embark." "Do you copy?" "Copy loud and clear." "We'll be right out." "We just need to make a phone call." "Yes, it's Olivia Riley." "Give me the Deputy Chief." "When something goes wrong in the intelligence world -- a scandal, a security breach, or just a failed operation -- there's always a debriefing where the facts are sorted out." "When those facts threaten careers and institutions, no one takes any chances." "You're locked away until the process is over." "All you can do is tell your side of the story and hope for the best and know that no matter what you do, your fate lies in someone else's hands." "Miss Glenanne, come with me, please." "More questions?" "I told them everything there is to know." "We've been here three weeks." "We turned ourselves in peacefully." "How long does it take to "sort out what happened"?" "Ma'am." "Where's Michael?" "Give us a minute." "You all right?" "Yeah." "What are they..." "They'll be released shortly." "I just wanted to talk to you first." "Michael, where have you been?" "They've been debriefing us this whole time, asking about Riley and Tom Card." "They were doing the same to me." "Really?" "It doesn't look like the same." "I've been in a 10'x10' holding cell." "You're riding in helicopters, ordering around CIA officers." "What's going on?" "Michael, we were gonna get out." "In Panama, you said that we were done with all this." "You said it would just be us." "I needed to protect you." "I needed to protect all of us." "Michael, what have you done?" "I couldn't leave you in there forever." "They weren't just gonna forget everything that happened and release you." "So I made a deal." "I did what I " "What you had to do." "No, Michael." "You did what you wanted to do." "No." "No, no."
