Burn Notice (2007–2013): Season 7, Episode 10 - Things Unseen - full transcript

Michael: My name
is Michael Westen.

I used to be
a spy until...

[phone rings]
We got a burn notice on you.

You're blacklisted.
[whistles]

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...

[laughs]



A trigger-happy girlfriend...

Should we shoot them?

An old friend who used
to inform on you to the FBI...

You know spies--
bunch of bitchy little girls.

Family too...

[phone rings]
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.

Michael: It's not easy
knowing how far to go

to build trust.



Last night,
Sonya and I--

Why are you
telling me this, Michael?

I couldn't ask for you
to be part

of this operation
without you knowing everything.

Michael, it's not okay
to sleep with the enemy.

She is still
the enemy, right?

When we find a monster,
we destroy it.

There's your first monster.

This is Ben Snyder.
He'll be running the Op.

Snyder, get back.
It's gonna blow.

[Coughs]

Snyder!

- Snyder, where's Fiona?
- She didn't make it.

Did you see
her die?

A member of your team
almost died today

because of this man's
lack of action.

He made a mistake.

He made
a promise, Michael.

And promises
must be kept.

Tell me I'm wrong.

Michael: In the spy world,

often the only things
you know about a covert mission

are your deployment orders

and a list of equipment
to bring.

Sometimes, that tells
you nothing.

And sometimes,
it can tell a lot.

The make of your weapon
tells you

if you'll be
in open combat

or firing
from the shadows.

The ammunition
you're bringing

can indicate whether
you're there primarily

to defend
or to kill.

When you're leaving
under cover of darkness

under a false name,

you can be sure
that whatever the job is,

it won't be pretty.

It's me, Michael.

Fi, what the hell
are you doing here?

We need to talk.

Do you know
how dangerous it is

for you to be here
right now?

I was told to leave the country
without contacting anyone.

Relax.
We're alone.

No one saw me follow you.
Not even you.

Good, then no one
will see you leave.

[Sighs]

I'm serious, Fi.

And this seriously
can't wait.

What is it?

You know
what it is.

You stood by and watched
James Kendrick

execute a man
right before your eyes.

There was nothing
I could do.

You could've
stopped him!

And if I tried,
I would have blown my cover,

and it would have
ruined everything.

This is the job.

Ah, right.
The job.

That's why you've been
avoiding me

and Sam and Jesse
ever since?

Because you were
doing your job?

I think it's because a part
of you likes what he did.

What do you want me
to do, Fi?

Snyder left you
to die.

I'm not gonna shed a tear
for that man.

How is that wrong?

Because you're
defending a man

you're supposed
to be taking down.

Admit it.
You are too close to this.

That's why you fit in
so well with him.

That's why
he likes you so much.

I'm in deep cover.

I'm supposed
to make James like me.

It's just a cover.

Not always.

I know when
you're faking it.

I can see it
in your eyes.

I'm doing everything
to end this mission for you,

for all of us.

You can't do that if you lose
yourself along the way.

Don't worry
about me, Fi.

I know when
to draw the line.

Like you did with Sonya?

[Sighs]

Things Unseen

Hey.
There she is.

How was your, uh--
what was it--meeting?

Yeah, business.

An old acquaintance.

Turned out to be
a complete waste of time.

- Tried to call you.
- Battery.

All right, well, I just--
I wanted to let you know

that I had to reschedule
our meeting with Lou later.

Why?
Is something wrong?

No, no, I have to go check
on a thing for my mom.

That's all.

It won't take more
than an afternoon.

Your mom?

Yeah, it's probably nothing.

Just some guys came by
the place, asked about me.

When are you gonna go?
I'll go.

No, no.

My old neighborhood
is not your kind of place.

Well, if it's
your kind of place,

then it's
my kind of place.

Well, okay.

- Then you're coming.
- Mmhmm.

Michael: Whenever possible,
spies like to know

what their getting into
before they leave for a mission.

When you ship out
without orders,

you can't really train
or prepare.

All you can do is wait
and wonder what's coming.

[Door beeps and opens]

They're here.

- Have a good trip?
- Yeah, it was fine.

Good.
Is everything here?

Yes, everything
is here.

Sonya, what is
the mission?

You know this man?

Roger Steele?

Uh, worked with him
several times.

He was a friend.

Michael, he's been
looking into you.

Into us.

Well, that's
his job.

He's a broker between
intelligence agencies,

helps negotiate when things
go wrong.

We intercepted this
a few days ago.

He's already linked you
to Randall Burke, Pablo Rios.

And now, he's looking
into a new operative,

a female one.

He's too close.

He has to go.

Well, that can't
be necessary.

It is necessary.
I spoke to James myself.

It's top priority.

Your orders are to make contact
with him.

Tell him you're in town
and want to visit.

We go in,
scout his security,

and then come up
with a plan.

And then?

And then,
we kill him.

Is this going to be
a problem, Michael?

Not a problem.

I'll set up
the meeting.

Good.

Michael: No one's more
careful about security

than a freelance spy.

When you work
in intelligence

and you don't have the
protection of a government,

you have to assume
that everyone

is a potential enemy, even
your closest friends.

A careful operative
will have security

as good as most
military installations.

Vehicles will be
searched for explosives.

And of course, nothing
that fires a bullet

or sends an
electronic signal

makes it
past the gate.

Bottom line: By the
time you get inside,

the only thing
you'll be armed with

is a warm smile.

[Laughing]
Westen.

- Steele.
- [Laughs]

Bloody hell,
how long has it been?

I wanna say Prague.
2003?

- No, 2002.
- Ah.

Ah, I thought it was
so long,

you might have
forgotten me.

What, are you kidding?

I nearly fell out of my
chair when you called.

It's tough to keep friends in
our line of work, you know?

And who's this
lovely lady?

- This is Ellie.
- How do you do?

Roger Steele.
It's a pleasure.

Thank you.
Your home is gorgeous.

Why don't you head on in
and take a closer look?

Sabrina, mi Amor, why don't
you take Ellie around?

- Sure.
- Gracias, Mira.

So great to see you.

Ah, we've got a lot
of catching up to do.

Come on in.

It's quite an upgrade
from the flat in London.

Business must be good.
Well, it's good enough.

Bought me this lovely
little slice of paradise.

Oh, blueberry was
your favorite, right?

[Laughs]
Yes.

Good memory.

So what's going on?

I heard you were in the D.R.
for a little while.

My job to know these things,
you know?

It's been rough,

what, with the burn notice
and the CIA--

The Tom Card thing.
Yes, I heard about that too.

But still,
things must be good

if you can visit old pals
on vacation.

Actually, this is not
a vacation.

The thing is, Roger,
I need a job.

A job? Really?

Well, I can make
a few calls.

And there's
a British oil company

that's expanding its operations
in Kuwait.

No civilian company's
going to hire

someone with my background.

I meant a job
with you,

on your security team.

Mike, you're putting me
in a difficult situation.

You know, I think
the world of you, but--

So what's
the problem?

Michael Westen
is the problem.

Half my clients
are terrified of you.

If they found out
you're on my payroll--

Well, then hide me
in the back office.

Roger, please.
I'm--I'm desperate.

Mike, listen.
I can't give you a job.

There's no way
I'm gonna leave you hanging.

I mean, it--it--
how much do you need

to get back
on your feet?

Is 10,000 enough?
20,000?

- I don't want a handout.
- No, this is not a handout.

Call it a payback
for that thing in Ramadi.

I won't take no
for an answer.

[Door closes]

Ah.

There you are, just in time.
Hello, darling.

Why don't we go down to the pool
and grill some steaks?

Hm.

So how was the tour?

[Laughs]

The security out here
is nothing

compared to what's inside.

This place
is a fortress.

And you?

He won't hire a spy
with my baggage,

not even a friend.

Not gonna be able
to get close to him.

Well, we can't hit him
inside this compound.

We'll have
to do it outside.

What are you thinking?

The road in and out
is narrow.

His cars are armored,

so we'll have to hit hard
and fast,

put him down
before his security can react.

Unless you see
another way?

No, no, no.
Sounds like a plan.

[Laughs]

And who wants
some lovely champagne?

- Wow.
- Here you go.

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

Raise them up,
you two.

A toast.

To old friends.

And new ones.
[Sighs]

Slainte.

[Spanish rap]

♪

Welcome to
my old neighborhood.

It's charming.

Yeah, I told you
you didn't have to come.

Who's inside?

This guy Mateo.

I used to run with him
when I was a kid.

He kind of runs
the neighborhood now.

But if there's something
going on,

he's gonna know
about it.

Are those your friends too?

They're with
the Latin syndicate.

When you're a kid,
and you grow up here,

you're kind of a part
of the gang

whether you like it
or not.

Look, I'm sorry, okay,

that I didn't tell you
about this.

I just--
I don't know.

When I got out,
I never looked back.

Hey, believe me,
I understand.

And so you wait in the car.
I'll go talk to 'em.

Oh, you think it's safer
leaving me out here?

Let's go.
[Sighs]

What you need, homey?

I'm here
to see Mateo.

I think you got
the wrong house.

LSG.

Tell him
Car-Loco's here.

[Indistinct chatter]

[Laughs]

♪

- Car-Loco.
- Mateo.

[Both speaking spanish]

- Mateo, what a surprise.
- [Laughs]

Who is
this sexy thing?

This is
my girl, Fiona.

[Both speaking spanish]

So how
you been, Mateo?

Well, you know.

We can't all leave the hood,
go to college,

and come back
with a model chick.

But we make out
all right.

Hey, come on,
I still have family here.

I didn't turn
my back on--

Hey, Car-Loco.

We're proud
of you, man.

You made it
to the other side.

Well, I appreciate that.

All right,
so check it,

I came down
'cause some guys

rolled by my mom's house
looking for me.

It sounded like
there was some trouble.

Yeah, I heard
about that.

- What was it?
- It's Nando.

He knows, man.

What does
he know?

He knows you snitched on him
back in '03.

Got him busted
for that coke deal.

Put him on ice
for 10 years.

He got a bounty
on your head.

All right, well,
we're gonna get outta here.

It's good seeing you.
You look good.

We're gonna bounce,
all right?

We gotta go.

I can't let
you do that, man.

[Pistols clicking]

I wish you would've stayed
out of the hood, papi.

I really do.

- You can't do this.
- Bro, I have to do this.

You got any idea what Nando
would do to me

if I let you go?

What he would do
to my family?

I'm sorry, bro.

You should've
thought about that

before you became a rata.

[Groans]

Don't even
try it, homey.

Nando wants you alive,

but he'll
take you dead.

Oh, my God.
Carlos!

Please don't hurt him.
Please, please!

Oh, my God!
Back off, bitch.

- Listen...
- [Groans]

I said
listen to me!

[Both groan]

Drop your guns
or you'll be

scraping his brains
off your shoes.

Do it!

[Speaking Spanish]

All right,
Mateo here

is gonna be walking us
to our car.

You move, he dies.

- Questions?
- Let's go.

Carlos, I want you
to know I'm--

I'm so sorry
about all this.

Mm.

How the hell did this happen,
Detective Holloway?

Nando was supposed to be
put away till 2040.

He threw money
at lawyers

until one of 'em found
a technicality.

The American justice system
at its finest.

But that still
doesn't explain

why he's coming after you
all of a sudden.

How does a 10-year-old
anonymous tip

become public knowledge?

I can't prove it,

but I hear Nando paid off
a dirty D.A.

to get access
to the sealed case file.

Jeez, that's the one
with my name in it.

Okay, so what the hell
do I do now?

Help us get
the son of a bitch

for something else,
like murder.

[Laughs]

Carlos, listen to me.

Those drugs you got Nando
caught with?

Those were stolen
from a courier

from the Tenth Street gang,

a courier
Nando killed.

Now, I know it was
a long time ago,

but I remember you saying
you might know someone

who saw it go down.

Carlos.

I didn't mention it
because I can't.

Look, I spent the last decade
protecting him.

I cannot ask him
to testify now.

Nando's only got more powerful
in prison.

You need him off the streets
for good.

And getting this witness
to testify,

that's how
you do it.

[Sighs]

If that's what
it takes...

All right.

I'll see
what I can do.

You want us to go down
to Ninth and Lakewood

to find
this guy Lloyd,

who witnessed a murder
ten years ago?

You realize the cops
don't even go

to that neighborhood, right?

I know it's a lot
to ask.

But we got into
a little trouble.

Yeah.

Look, we show our faces
in that area,

we might as well turn ourselves
over to Nando.

Okay, so this witness
you have to talk to,

you can't just call
the guy?

I tried, Sam,
he's not answering my calls.

Of course not.

So he won't even
talk to you,

but we're supposed
to go down there

and get him to come
with us?

And this is supposed
to happen when?

- Yesterday.
- [Laughs]

Right.

We wouldn't be asking
if it were easy.

[Sighs]

Sorry.
Carlos, we got your back.

Don't even worry
about it, man.

You shouldn't have to pay
for doing the right thing.

Jesse's right.
This one's on us.

Drinks are on you.

See ya.

Michael: When you're
in the field,

having direct contact
with your control officer

is supposed to be
a last resort.

The risk of being seen together
is enormous.

If something goes wrong,
people die.

If you're willing
to take that risk,

everyone knows
it's serious.

What the hell is this?
You want to meet now?

In the middle of an Op?
We need to talk.

This job,
it's a kill mission.

I see.
Who's the target?

Roger Steele.
You know who that is?

Yeah, the Agency used him
as a go-between

on a job
I did in Cyprus.

Why does Kendrick
want him dead?

Roger's been
tracking me.

They're concerned
he might figure out

who I'm working with.

What am
I doing here?

Do you want
a supportive hug?

Strong, I'm supposed
to be outside

Roger's house
in an hour,

hitting him on the road
as he leaves.

Okay, I get it.

You want me to send in a team,
sweep him up,

so you don't have
to pull the trigger.

Yeah, something
like that.

Michael, think about it.

If you're Sonya and your
target suddenly vanishes,

are you gonna just chalk
that up to bad luck?

Hell no.

We grab Steele,

we might as well
pull you out too

because this mission
would be over.

You're asking me
to kill a friend.

He's in the game.
He knows how it's played.

And need I remind you

he makes a living
selling intelligence

to the highest bidder.

Sometimes, that intelligence
gets spies killed.

And sometimes, those spies
are not the bad guy.

Look, when I gave you
this assignment,

I said I needed
the Michael Westen

who was willing
to do what?

Whatever it takes.

Well, this is
what it takes.

[Tense music]

♪

We got movement
at the gate.

You ready?

Bomb's in place.
Tell me when.

They're on the road now,
two SUVs.

Steele's in
the lead vehicle.

Moving into position now.

All right.
Ready to go.

Arm the detonator.

Armed.

Both SUVs are headed
your way.

Now remember:
Do not move un--

Until you disable the car.
I know.

Michael: Roadside improvised
explosive devices

come in
many varieties.

But they usually share
basic features.

Once a target vehicle
is chosen,

an explosive device is planted
in the vehicle's path

and then detonated
by remote control

as soon as the vehicle
is in position.

[Beep]

Of course, that assumes
that your target

isn't using
a signal jammer.

- Michael.
- Sonya.

Sonya, come in!

The problem
with signal jammers

is they don't
just make it impossible

to remotely trigger
a detonator.

They also
make it impossible

to communicate
with your team.

And when
you can't communicate,

bad things
usually happen.

we're here to help.

How you doin', ma'am?
Don't wanna scare ya.

We're with

Please read that.

Hey, how are ya, sir?
Check that out.

How are ya, folks?

We're with
the health department.

I'm sure you heard about
the refinery spill

over at Sunco.

Some hydro carbic toxins
were released.

Yeah, we just wanna
make sure

that no one
was exposed.

How's everybody feelin'?

- Any rashes?
- Nausea?

- Burning eyes?
- Loose stool?

Nah, dude.
That's nasty.

Yeah.
Yeah, it is nasty.

Hi.
Health department.

Won't take

- Come on.
- Thank you.

Yeah, I don't know
what the problem is,

but I haven't heard anything
about a gas leak.

Uh, well, sir, see,
we're actually

not with
the health department.

We just had
to talk to you

without raising too many
eyebrows in this area.

We're friends
of Carlos Cruz.

What?
What, wait, no.

No, I told him on the phone--
We know.

The thing is, the guy
that's coming after Carlos,

he's gonna be coming after you
before too long.

We wanna take you
someplace safe,

someplace you can talk
to the cops.

No, no way.
Just get out.

Lloyd, we're on
your side.

I said get out!
Get out!

Stop fighting.
Stop fighting.

- He stopped fighting.

Whaoh.
Aw.

Crap.
He's out cold.

I barely even--
what now?

Everybody make way.

This man has had
a seizure.

- Read your brochures, people.
- What'd I say?

Serious business.

No, no way.

I told you
I can't.

I-I-I'm not talking
to the cops.

Lloyd, you're
the only one

that can get Nando
off the street.

You have
to step up.

What I gotta do is
I gotta get out of town, right?

Look, look, they could be
on their way here right now.

We got out
of the neighborhood clean.

Sam and Jesse are keeping
watch outside just in case.

Y-you w-wait, you mean
the two guys that--

that took me out
and kidnapped me?

Those two?
[Scoffs]

Lloyd, I'm sorry

for how this whole thing
went down.

But it's time you do
the right thing.

Now, I wouldn't
ask you

if there was
any other way.

But if you stay quiet,
if you do nothing,

Nando will
find you, eventually.

And if you run,

you put your whole family
in danger.

[Stutters]
You don't understand, man.

I've seen what Nando does
to guys that cross him.

That's not gonna be me!
So what are you gonna do?

You gonna let him
walk free?

You gonna give him a free pass
because you're afraid?

Carlos, can I just
say something?

Please.

Look, I'm sorry.
You--I don't even know you.

And this is probably
none of my business.

But I do know
what it's like

to be afraid
of doing the right thing.

- [Sighs]
- I've been there for years.

And, um...
If you don't do this...

You're gonna spend
the rest of your life

knowing that the blood
of every person

this man hurt
is on your hands.

Just think about it.

It's okay.

[Sighs]

All right.

Carlos, tell your cop friend
I want a deal, in writing--

protection for me
and my family.

I'll make it happen.

Michael: When a plan
goes wrong in the field,

the job is rarely
abandoned entirely.

The goals of the
mission don't change.

The methods do.

Destroy the cell phones,
anything traceable.

We leave
in one hour.

The problem
is backup plans

are usually that
for a reason.

They tend to be
a lot messier

and a lot
more deadly.

- Sonya, what are you doin'?
- I'm finishing our mission.

I don't know if you were
paying attention back there,

but we failed.

Calling in
an air strike.

They'll hit the compound
with a bomb from high altitude.

An air strike? Do you know
how many people that will kill?

All the guards,
all the staff--

I don't like it
either, Michael.

But we don't get
to fail.

Wait.
I-I have a better idea.

- I don't have time for it.
- Sonya, listen to me.

Stop.
Listen--stop!

All of those people
don't have to die

to kill one man.

Hear me out.

- I'm listening.
- Let me call Roger.

I can finish this
with a sniper rifle.

One shot, one body.

Give me an hour.

Fine.
You have one hour.

[Touch-tones beep]

[Dial tone rings]

- Yes, who is this?
- Roger, it's--it's Michael.

I-I-I-we need
to talk.

I'm in a sticky situation.
I need your help.

I don't have
the time, Michael.

I've got a situation
of my own.

Hold on, there are some men
who came after me.

Men in masks, they tried
to kill me on the street.

- Wait, black masks?
- Yeah.

Was it a two-man hit team
packing MP5ks?

Yeah, two men--
yes, yes.

Jesus, Michael.
The same guys came after me.

- What?
- Where are you?

I'll get my guys together.
I'll be right there.

We're in an abandoned factory
on Loma Vista Avenue.

It's a white,
two-story building.

I think the best approach
is from the south.

Loma Vista Avenue.

Don't worry, Michael.
I'll be there.

Just stay alive
until I do.

We'll do our best.
I think we have ten minutes.

Michael: As a spy, you have
to get used to deception.

Your job is to
engage with people,

make them your friends,
manipulate them,

and ultimately
destroy them.

It's one thing to do
it to your enemies.

You can think
of your target

in terms that aren't
exactly human,

like,
mission objectives.

He's here.

But when the target
is a friend,

it doesn't matter
what you tell yourself.

It feels
like betrayal.

[Bluetooth beeps]

[Beep]
Roger, it's Michael.

Michael, it's me.
I'm here.

I'm at the south side
with my men.

Tell me
where you are.

Where are you?
I don't see the team?

- I'm--I can't...
- Get in the building now.

Stay with me.
Go!

Take the shot.

Michael?

Michael?

Michael, take the shot.

Michael, you still there?

I'm here, Roger.

And I'm sorry.

Okay, Lloyd.
Here's how this works.

Carlos is gonna meet
the detective, make the deal.

Then, we're gonna take you
over there, okay?

You don't have
to go anywhere

till Carlos gives
the high sign.

- How's it lookin', Fi?
- He just arrived.

Detective Holloway too.

- Right on time.
- Okay, see?

They'll sort it out.
Everything's gonna be just fine.

Yeah, well, you just make sure
you keep those guns ready.

I'll believe it
when I see it.

Hey, Detective.
Thanks for coming.

Of course.

Where's my witness?

I talked to him,
and he says that he'll testify,

but he has conditions.
Conditions?

What conditions?
He wants Witness Protection.

He wants a signed agreement
from the D.A.

before he shows
his face.

- The DA?
- I'm sorry, Detective.

But that's how it's gotta be.
He's nervous.

You understand.

- Everything all right, Fi?
- Well, she's not thrilled.

Carlos will take care
of it.

- Who's this?
- It--it doesn't matter.

The question is:
Where is the witness right now?

Who's that?

I don't know.
Another detective, maybe?

[Guns clicking]
You've gotta be kidding me.

Carloco.

Man, I am so happy
to see you.

How long
has it been?

Oh, yeah.
Ten years.

- Fi, what's happening?
- I can't see.

That SUV's blocking
my view.

So you were the one
that blew my cover.

It's nothing personal, Carlos.
Just business.

You were a goddamn traitor
to your ba--

Shut up.

[Grunts]

- Where's my witness?
- He didn't--

there was a problem.

A problem?
What does that mean?

I don't
like problems.

Fi, can you tell what the hell
is goin' on?

I still can't see Carlos.
Maybe we should go in.

Look, we had a deal.

I paid you good money
to deliver me

this rat
and a witness.

Look, I did everything
I could, okay?

It's not my fault
he didn't show up.

It's not?

Bitch, you told me
you'd pull through.

Watch your tone.

I could still arrest your ass
any day of the week.

Are you threatening me?

Are you threatening me?
Just back off.

[Gunshot]
[Sighs]

What the hell
was that?

Nando.

[Stutters]
That wasn't part of the deal!

Both: Lloyd.
Lloyd!

Get him in the car.
Let's go.

They're taking Carlos.
We gotta follow 'em.

[Tires screech]

- I'm driving.
- Oh, boy.

[Tires screech]

Sam: I don't know, guys.

Well, I guess we could try
taking a run at it, but--

Jesse: It's a gang HQ, Sam.

Everybody in there
is packing.

We can't just go in
all commando.

We might as well
shoot ourselves in the head

and save Nando
the trouble.

I think
it's cop time.

Jesse, the whole
problem is

is that Carlos knows Nando
murdered someone.

If we call the cops,
he's dead for sure.

I'm not saying
I like it.

I just don't see
another way.

[Cell phone vibrates]

It's Carlos's phone.
[Beep]

Hello?
Is this Fiona?

Nando.

I got your number
from a mutual friend.

I'm having a barbecue
in his honor.

He wants to say hi.
[Groans]

[Screaming]

What are you--
stop it!

You want it
to stop?

Oh, you can
make it stop anytime.

All I want
is peace of mind.

But Carlos here, he doesn't
want to give it to me.

I want that witness.
So you can kill him?

Better him
than Carlos.

[Screams]
All right!

I'll get you the witness.
Just give me some time.

Oh, time? You got all the time
in the world.

But Carlos here,
he's only got until 5:00.

[Beep]

[Blow torch hisses]

Uh, Fi,
did I hear you right?

It sounded like
you just said

you're gonna hand Lloyd over
to Nando.

Nando is
torturing Carlos.

I'm just trying
to buy us time.

- We have until 5:00.
- 5:00?

That's an hour and 20 minutes
from now.

What are we supposed to do
in that amount of time?

I don't know, Sam!

Maybe Michael does.

[Phone dialing]

[Cell phone rings]

[Beep]
Yeah?

- It's me.
- Fi?

[Sighs]
Are you in Miami?

We just got back.
What's wrong?

Carlos is in trouble.

I need your help.

What can I do?

I'm not sure.

He's being held by a
gangster in South Miami.

Maybe Sonya,
or the people she works with,

or their resources?

Sonya?

I could ask her, if that's
really what you want.

I don't see
another way.

Tell me everything
I need to know.

Did you talk
to Sonya?

She's talking
to her people.

- They're working on it.
Sam: - Working on it?

What does that mean?
Can they deal with Nando or not?

I think so.

They're contacting
some of their people

in the drug trade.

They're gonna go above his head
to his supplier.

- How long is that gonna take?
- I don't know.

They're gonna call me
when they have something.

Michael, Carlos is running
out of time.

We just need to buy
a little more time.

They'll come through.
Well, how can you be sure?

Because they owe me.

I did a job
for them that--

they'll come through.

Okay.
Practical question.

How are we gonna buy Carlos
more time?

He wants a witness?
Let's give him one.

Mike, we don't even know
where Lloyd is.

Nando's never
seen him, right?

Take me in.
I'll be the witness.

We can buy ourselves
some time with that.

What if they don't go
for it?

Then I'll have called in
that favor for nothing

'cause we'll all
be dead.

[Tires screech]

[Cell phone rings]
[Beep]

Fiona Glenanne.
Just in time.

You got my witness?
Yes, I do.

But I would prefer to hand him
to you myself, in person.

Little girl,
you are in no position

to make any demands.

I think I am,
if you want your witness.

You see, I have a gun
to his head,

a head that contains
all the answers

to your questions.

So if you don't want
your answers

splattered all over
the place,

then let us in
right now.

[Beep]

[Door opens]

Carlos.

Wake up.

I wanna
show you something.

You put up
with all that pain

to protect a name.

But now,
I don't need the name.

You must be Fiona.

Smart man.
You can let him go now.

We'll see about that,

'cause I think you might be
trying to play me.

- Nando, you asked for--
- Shut up.

So you're the pendejo
who saw me

cap that dude
ten years ago, huh?

Got to admit
it's kind of funny.

Seems to me somebody
would've noticed

a white boy like you hanging
around in little Managua.

So I guess
the real question is:

Who the hell
are you?

'Cause my guess is
you ain't no witness.

You're right, Nando.
I'm not a witness.

I'm a messenger.

And this is my message.

You don't know
what you're up against.

You have no idea
what you're up against.

So I'm gonna give you
some advice.

You let the three of us
go now.

And when we're gone,
you leave town.

And when I say leave,
I mean forever.

[Laughs]

This guy!

I mean, I don't know
whether he's stupid,

or crazy, or both?

Some balls, though.

Big talk
from an unarmed man

with a 100-pound pixie
as his backup.

- I have friends.
- Oh.

You got friends, huh?
Chacho, he's got friends.

[Groans]

Friends?

Well, where are they?
Huh?

Because I don't see
these friends of yours.

You wanna know
what I think?

I think
you got nothing.

That's what
I think.

[Laughing]

What are
you laughing at, loco?

You think I would walk
in here with nothing?

Nando, Nando, Nando,
you're dead.

You just
don't know it yet.

Chacho, shoot
this fool.

[Sighs]

[Pistol clicks]
[Cell phone rings]

You might want
to answer that.

[Ringing continues]

[Beep]
Yo, who is this?

Nando, you're not
gonna believe it.

It's Lopez.

Cual Lopez?

Lopez from--
Colombia.

He said to put him
on speaker.

Ricardo.
Que pasa?

Nando, forgive me
for interrupting.

No, no, no, no.
No--no problem.

What can I do?
What's going on?

The man who owns this phone,
is he there?

Is he alive?

Yeah, he's fine.

Good.
Listen to me carefully.

You're going
to let him go,

him and his friends.

You understand?

Ricardo, no.
I can't.

Listen, you don't understand.

These guys can pin
a murder on me.

- I have to handle it.
- Don't worry, Nando.

I'll handle it.

Chacho, you know
who I am?

What I can do?
To your familia?

To you?

Yes, sir, Mr. Lopez.

So if I asked you
to do something,

you would do it
no matter what, right?

- Yes, sir.
- Ricardo, por favor.

Shut up.
I'm talking to Chacho.

Chacho, I want you
to shoot Nando now.

What?
Ricardo,por favor.

Chacho.

Chacho!
[Gunshots]

Thank you, Chacho.

Now, make sure your guests
get home safely.

Get them
out of here.

I hear things worked out
for Fiona

- and her boyfriend.
- What did you do?

We put pressure
on a supplier,

made them understand
it was in

his best interest
to make a call.

- Thank you.
- Of course.

Michael, about this job
with your friend Steele.

I know
it wasn't easy.

He was a threat.
And it was necessary.

Necessary for what?

[Sighs]

For everything.

Michael, don't
you understand?

You're part of this.

James has plans for you,
big plans.

What does that mean?

You can
ask him yourself.

He wants to see us
next week.

Where? When?

I'll know
the details soon.

In the meantime,
why don't you get some rest?

Okay?

You've earned it.

Carlos, what
are you doing?

[Sighs]
Fi, we need to talk.

[Sighs]

Fi, I'm moving out.

I'm gonna go stay with a buddy
of mine for a while.

I think it's best...

For both of us.

Does this have
anything to do

with what happened
to Nando?

[Chuckles and sniffles]

Yeah.

That call
that Michael got,

you know why
that happened?

[Sniffles]

Open it up.

That's from a newspaper
in Bogota.

Two days ago, at the exact
same time Nando got the call,

a helicopter gun ship
opened fire

on an estate
outside of Cartagena.

You know who owned
that estate?

Ricardo Lopez,
the same guy that called Nando.

Seven people died, Fi.

I was--
I was trying to save you.

I-I...
And I thank you for that.

But I'm gonna have to live
with that

for the rest of my life
and wonder

if it was all
worth it.

[Sighs]

I love you.

[Chuckles and sniffles]

I love you too, Fi.

You're traveling a path
with Michael.

You always have.

I can't go down it
with you.

[Crying]
I don't have a choice.

Yes, you do.

And you've made it.
