Burn Notice (2007–2013): Season 7, Episode 11 - Tipping Point - full transcript

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--
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.

We're going after the leader
of a terrorist network.

I am the man
you've been waiting to meet.

I'll tell you whatever
you want to know.

Old loyalties die hard.



And I need to know that
you've left yours behind.

I have no reason
to run.

And I have nothing
to hide.

Welcome to the family.

I got your number
from a mutual friend.

I'm having a barbecue
in his honor.

Carlos is in trouble.
I need your help.

- It's Lopez.
- Lopez from...

- Columbia.
- Chacho,

I want you to shoot Nando,
now!

Now, make sure your guests
get home safely.

Two days ago,
at the exact same time

Nando got the call,

a helicopter gunship
opened fire on an estate

outside of Cartegena.
Seven people died, Fi.

I'm gonna have to live with that
for the rest of my life.

You're traveling a path
with Michael.

You always have.
I don't have a choice.

It was necessary.
James has plans for you.

Big plans.
What does that mean?

You can ask him yourself.
He wants to see us.

On an undercover
assignment,

there's no substitute
for building trust.

It's not just a matter of

getting to know someone
superficially.

To be really effective,
you need to get

as close to the target
as you can,

both personally
and professionally.

It's never easy.

No matter how much training
you have,

it's difficult to become
someone's closest friend

knowing that you're
only doing it

to steal their deepest
secrets.

Good to see you.

Good to see you too,
Michael.

Let me have that.

Oh, thank you.

I hope you're rested.

This will take a while.

So you want to tell me
what we're doing?

We are making
fake passports and visas

and the usual
travel papers.

All right.

You and I are traveling abroad
as a couple--

Elliot and Tricia Bronson.

We have been married
for a while,

so you should probably
get memorizing.

That's a lot of trouble
for a single trip.

It's not just a trip,
Michael.

We're joining James
on a very important meeting.

And that meeting is?

That's for James
to tell you.

We should get started.

Once you've developed
a relationship with the target,

you can start to use
that relationship

to get the information
you need.

If you're close enough,
you can make an interrogation

feel like nothing more than
innocent questions

from a trusted friend.

Is it in Europe?

Is it in Asia?

Is the meeting in Pakistan?

India? China?

Come on, Sonya.

I'm building cover I.D.s
in the dark.

If the meeting's
in Tel Aviv,

and I say we were just
in Cairo--

All right.
We are going to Latin America.

And that is all
that you get.

There, you've taken blood
from a stone.

Are you happy?
Happier.

What is it, the watermark?
No, the watermark is good.

It's, um...

It's just it's funny
that Tricia Bronson's

been to Rio three times,
and Sonya Lebedenko never.

I've always wanted to go.

I almost went one time,
and the job got in the way.

The job always gets
in the way.

Well, I've been to Rio,
and there are jobs there too.

Maybe you and I can
work together there one day.

I would like that.

Sometimes it's not enough to
be a target's friend, however.

Sometimes to accomplish
a mission,

you have to go further.

When you share a target's bed,

when they trust you enough
to sleep beside you,

it's a simple thing to get
whatever information you need.

That information comes
with a price, though.

Often the only way
to convince someone

that you care about them
is to actually

start caring about them.

And no matter
how important the mission is,

no matter how much
you believe in your cause,

it feels like what it is--

a complete betrayal
of someone's trust.

A car will pick you up
at 8:00.

I'll see you
tomorrow morning.

Michael, how'd it go?

- It's done.
- Nice work, lady-killer.

Now, you just get me
that drive,

and we can figure out
where James is headed.

I'll make the drop
at the usual place.

Excellent.
We are so close

to bringing
this son of a bitch down.

You ready to end this?

Believe me, I'm ready.

Burn Notice 7x11
Tipping Point
Original Air Date on August 22, 2013

== sync, corrected by elderman ==
@elder_man

I just got off the phone
with the NSA encryption team.

The data you ripped
from Sonya's phone

was a gold mine.

- So we know where James is.
- No.

But for the first time,
we know where he's gonna be

before he gets there.

The meeting is going down
tomorrow in Veracruz, Mexico.

Sonya booked two jeeps
and an armored transport.

Now, we believe
you're gonna be with James

for about two hours,
which is a tight window,

but it's big enough.

Sonya scouted a route
from the airport

to a location in the southwest
corner of town.

But you're never gonna
make it.

'Cause when you get
to this corridor here,

we drop the hammer.

So you're gonna hit a convoy
in broad daylight

on foreign soil?
Something like that. Why?

For starters,
how do our friends

south of the border
feel about that?

Well, they would definitely
frown on it,

if they knew about it.

I'm not worried about
the Mexican government.

I'm worried about James.

I'll be sitting
right next to him.

What happens
if it goes wrong?

No, he's never gonna know
it was us until it's too late.

The extraction team
I hired to do the grab

could not be farther
from CIA personnel.

We're going freelance now?

Who are these guys?

Let me worry about that.
They can handle it.

Strong, we're rushing this.

There are just
too many variables.

The location, the timetable--

I have been after James
for almost a decade.

I'm not gonna let
the chance to grab him

slip through my hands
because you think we're rushing.

Michael, we made a deal.

Now the bill has come due.

If you want
your old life back,

you're gonna have
to trust me.

Don't worry, brother.

We'll be there
to watch your back.

As a spy,
you get used to the idea

that every successful
operation

comes at a price.

Sometimes it's lives lost,

other times
it's cities destroyed

or livelihoods ruined.

Then there are other costs
that are more personal.

Less obvious, but the pain is
just as real.

Hey.

Come on in.

I'm just packing up the last
of Carlos' stuff.

I'm sorry about
all this, Fi.

Michael,
what are you doing here?

I'm leaving town
for a job...

And I need your help.

Do you have any idea
how much your work with James

and his network
has cost me?

- Do you even care?
- I'm gonna take 'em down, Fi.

All of them.

James, Sonya, for good.
That's what this mission is.

But James has his men
watching my mom

around the clock.

And when I betray him...

Yeah.

So I'm asking you
to keep an eye on her.

You're the only one I trust
to protect her and Charlie.

Please.

Finish this.

- Welcome to Veracruz.
- Thank you, my dear.

The vehicles are set?
Excellent.

Michael, good to see you.

Big day for us.
Happy to be part of it.

No matter how much
you've trained,

no matter how much
you've planned,

there's always anxiety
in the moments before

you capture a target.

Most things are simply
out of your control.

Your operations team may be
monitoring the situation,

but they're usually
too far away

to do much but watch.

Your extraction team is there
to do one job,

and one job only--

acquire the targets, which
effectively leaves you alone.

At the end of the day
all you can do is smile,

play along,
and try not to get killed

when the shooting starts.

So what is in Veracruz,
other than fresh seafood?

Or is that classified?

What's happening today
has been years I the making.

Let's just say
our little organization

is about to make
a giant leap forward.

One more time, Alpha team.

Michael's to be treated
as an enemy combatant

until he is in our custody

and on his way back
to the states.

Do you copy?
Copy that.

Okay, go time, people.

The targets are approaching
the corridor.

What is it?

It's just a feeling.
Tight space.

Almost nobody
on the street.

This is the first block
that we've passed

without vendors.

You don't think--

Radio the others.

Tell 'em to keep
their eyes peeled.

Yes, sir.

Target in sight.

Contact in ten, nine,

eight, seven,

six, five, four, three,

two--

What the hell?

Get down!
Get down!

What are you doing, Strong?

I mean, is your extraction team
trying to disable the convoy,

or just shoot it
to kingdom come?

They're trying to make sure
we get James Kendrick.

We got four shooters
on the rooftops,

two on the south side.
We'll take them out first.

- Ready.
- James, wait, wait.

They're only shooting
at our engine block 'cause

I think they want us alive.
We will not be captured.

They got the drop on us.
If we step out of here--

If it is a capture mission,
they won't shoot to kill.

Let's go.

Ah!

Grab vehicles, move in.

Incoming!

James, we got another SUV.

They're cutting us off!

There's a grenade launcher
in the rear vehicle!

The engine's on fire.

It'll blow
before you get there.

Check the lead Jeep
for wounded.

We're not leaving
anybody behind.

Cover me!

Aah!

Go! You're clear!

Move it! Move it!

Get down! Get down!

They're closing in!

Move out!

Come on, hustle up.

When you're undercover

and running from your own
capture team,

you have to make it look
like you're trying to escape.

Move! Move!

But at the same time,
you have to create a trail

for your friends to find.

Get some vehicles.
Go! Go!

Cell phones can be tracked,
which means

if you can keep one
close by,

it gives your team a shot
at finding you.

Go.

Jesus! Nothing?

Well, spread out
and keep looking!

Alpha team took a beating.
Seven down.

How many times
have we told you?

These people are better
than you think.

Hey, police just got a call

about a stolen car
in Costa Verde.

A blue Nissan sedan.
Well, that narrows it down

to about half the cars
in Mexico.

The victim said
a carjacker

fitting Mike's description
grabbed her phone

and threw it in the car.

Attaboy, Mike.

Hey, find out
who that woman is.

Track down that cell signal.

And I mean ten minutes ago.

Come on, guys.

We're going for a ride
in the chopper.

Yeah, Fi, we're
a little busy here.

Sam, what the hell is
going on?

I'm outside Madeline's.

James' guys have been
sitting in that car all day.

Now all of a sudden
they're buzzing around.

Looks like they just got
some bad news.

Well, we tried
to grab James,

but he slipped through
our net.

He must have called them.

They're going toward
the house.

You think they know
Michael betrayed them?

Yeah, look,
that's just the thing, though.

We don't know if Mike's cover's
been blown or not.

Well, we gotta make a call.

'Cause if it has,
Madeline's dead.

And if it hasn't, you shooting
a couple of James' guys

is just gonna tip 'em off,
and then Mike is dead.

You got a whole building
going on here, huh?

Sweetheart,
you be a good boy.

You play with your blocks.
I'll be right back.

Okay.

Look, Fi, don't shoot.

Don't shoot.
We gotta bet on Mike

that somehow
he kept his cover.

All right, I'm holding off
for now.

But if they so much as
look at her sideways,

I'm pulling the trigger.

Ma'am.

Sorry to bother you,
Mrs. Westen,

but we need
to come inside.

Uh, no.

Look, I spoke to your boss.
I was very clear

about you people being
in my home.

They're forcing
their way in.

Mrs. Westen,
something's happened.

- Are you talking about Michael?
- We can't discuss it.

You just have to trust us.

All right, come in.

Fi, did you do it?
What the hell happened?

She waved me off.

Next time something happens
down there--

Believe me.
You'll be our first call.

With little government
oversight

and a booming
private sector,

Mexico has one of the most
unregulated airspaces

in Latin America.

Bad news for safety
and air pollution,

but good news if you need
to conduct a manhunt

without the local authorities
finding out.

Okay, gentlemen,
HQ got us a signal.

The cell phone
that Michael grabbed

is in this sector down here.

We're looking for a 2009
Nissan Altima.

Which way's the signal
moving?

Uh, north by northeast.

There we go.

Blue sedan right there,
hanging a left.

Nope, ours is still
going straight.

And that's an Audi,
not a Nissan.

You can tell
from a couple thousand feet up?

I'm a car guy.
Okay, he just turned right.

Wait a second, another blue
sedan following that truck.

They're traveling together.

That's gotta be James and his
whole damn crew right there.

Alpha team,
we have a visual

on the targets--
they're in a caravan

driving north
on highway 150d,

just past the Bustamante exit.

There's a reason
helicopters are

the search vehicles of choice

for every law enforcement agency
in the world.

When you can travel
150 miles per hour

on any axis,
with 60 miles of visibility,

there's virtually nowhere
for your target to hide.

- Keep those vehicles in sight.
- Yes, sir.

The downside of using
a helicopter is that

when you're surrounded
by nothing but sky,

there's nowhere for you
to hide either.

Pull over down here.

Why are we stopping?

There's a chopper
following us.

Best chance to lose it,
split up.

We're stronger together.
If we split up--

It's a risk we're gonna
have to take.

Now, there was a boatyard
three miles ago.

Double back,
get yourselves a boat,

head up the coast.

We'll find the next marina,
get one of our own.

- How will we find you?
- I'll contact you,

give you directions
so the safe house.

Let's move out.

You heard the man.
Let's go.

All right,
the truck's leaving.

What's the plan?

Damn it, they're splitting up!

Alpha team, target vehicles
are now heading

in separate directions.
You follow the signal

from the cell phone,
we'll stay on the truck.

Any luck?

Nothing we can get
in the water.

There's a trawler
in there.

The wiring's shot,
but Mark's seeing

if he can get it started.
Come on.

How's it going?

Getting there.

Owen, help me find
some fuel.

You hear that?

Alex, cover the door.

Advance on three.
One, two--

Ah!

Ooh!

Alpha team, I'm a friendly.
Don't shoot.

Come on out, Michael.
We're all clear.

He was down.
This is a capture mission!

Hey.

Simon.

What the hell
are you doing here?

Relax, Michael.

We're on the same side.

You were waiting
for Alpha team.

I'm Alpha team.

No, no.

I captured you.

I put you away, Simon.
This makes no sense.

But it makes all the sense
in the world.

Use that big brain of yours.

The fact that
you captured me

makes me the perfect man
for the job.

You're deep cover.

Whoever ran the extraction team
had to be somebody

who didn't work
for the CIA.

Somebody who you'd
never work with.

Somebody like me.

Yeah, you're right,
I'd never work with you.

I'm gonna call this in.

What do you think
they're gonna say?

This ain't my first rodeo.

They got me out
of the box

almost as soon
as you put me in it.

Yeah. Boy, I've been
working for them

going on, like,
two years now.

Off the books, naturally.

They drop me into hot spots
when they need someone

to get their hands dirty.

There's no way they'd
let you out of prison

after everything
you've done.

Wake up, Michael.

Guys like us,
we're weapons.

As long as we're useful,
somebody's always gonna want

to take us out to play.

Now, I'm willing to let
bygones be bygones,

but you're gonna have to
get that thing out of my face.

Alpha team
do you copy?

That's the boss man now.

Okay with you
if I answer?

I'm here, Mr. Strong.

I just killed a couple
of James' men.

Unfortunately, I lost my team
in the process.

What about James
and Sonya?

I'm guessing they're
in that truck

you're following now.

We're near the Calavera
Marina.

I need you to get your ass
over here as soon as possible.

Love to, right after
Michael here decides

whether or not
he's gonna shoot me.

Just give us one second.

What's it gonna be, slugger?

You gonna complete
this mission or not?

I think he's coming around.

Now, how do we get
to this marina?

Ten miles south
down Calle Ocho.

Radio when you're near.

Copy.

Looks like James wants to play
a little hide and seek.

- All right, circle and descend.
- Yes, sir.

Since the Vietnam war,
helicopters have given

technologically superior forces
a huge advantage

on the battlefield.

In almost every situation,

your target's only move
is to run and hide.

But as everyone from
the Viet Cong

to the Mujahideen has learned,

a helicopter's main defense
is its maneuverability.

And if they can force you into
hovering over a tight space,

like a valley
between two mountains

or an alley
between two buildings...

There they are.

They can make you
an easy target.

Heads up.
Heads up!

- Get us outta here!
- We're hit. We're losing fuel.

I gotta set her down.

Son of a bitch.

Alpha team,
we got a problem.

James and Sonya just lit us up.
We're gonna have to land.

Sorry to hear that.

Uh...Buckle up?

So much for our air support.

Sounds like James and Sonya
will be long gone

before we get to that marina.

Any idea where
they're headed?

Safe house
outside of town.

I don't know where it is.

Well, I read James' file.

One thing I do know, he has
a soft spot for his friends.

If the situation is dire enough,

no way he leaves you hanging.

Oh, oh, I got it.
Get James on the radio.

Tell him all hell
has broken loose.

Tell him he needs
to get here now.

Hey, buddy.

What, you got stage fright?

Go on.

James. James, it's Michael.
Are you there?

I said I would contact you.
What's going on?

We have an emergency here.

They got the drop on us.
Can you handle it?

I'm trying to save our guys.

Michael, are you still there?
Michael.

Yeah, I--
I'm going in,

but I'm gonna need backup.
Where are you?

Boatyard.
East boathouse.

You stay strong.
We're on our way.

Stay strong?

Did he get that
off a bumper sticker?

Move away from him.

Oh, come on.

James is smart.
I had to make it convincing.

That wasn't necessary.

You think I haven't
done worse for the CIA?

Hell, they'll probably pin
a medal on my chest after this.

Don't touch this man again.

Oh, cry me a river.

You wanna weep for somebody,
how 'bout my men?

Like Paco, or what's-his-face
there with the moustache?

Right there.

You still in one piece,
Bravo team?

We're on the ground,
but we lost James and Sonya.

Well, I have some
good news for you.

Thanks to Michael's
stirring performance,

they're racing over here.
We're setting a little trap.

If you want to catch
the show,

hurry on over
to the east boathouse.

Nice work.
We'll see you there.

Michael helped Alpha team
lure James and Sonya

back to the boathouse.

- Good. Let's do this.
- Wait, hang on.

Before we go any further,
there's something

I need to tell you
about the leader of Alpha team.

Why do I feel like
you're about to drop

some really bad news?

Yeah, who is it?
Spit it out.

- Simon Escher.
- What?

As in Simon,
the homicidal maniac?

And you're letting him
run a team?

Have you lost your mind?

He's been working
with the Agency for a while now,

and he is a top-notch operator.

Nobody has a better record
in high-risk environments.

I don't give a damn
about his record!

They guy tried to blow up
half of Miami!

We've kept him
on a tight leash,

and I have been crystal clear
about the mission's parameters.

Look, to hell
with your parameters.

You're working with a monster!

And what is Michael?
Huh?

He shot a senior CIA officer
in the face.

Don't you dare
compare the two.

I will work with who I have
to get the job done.

Now, you back off.

Guys, we're on the same team
here, okay?

And it's not just
our asses on the line.

Let's go.
Jesus.

Jesse, what is going on?

Hey, we're making
another run at James.

You need to get Maddy and
Charlie out of there

before we do.

What?
They're inside the house

with two armed guards because
Sam told me not to shoot them.

I know it's bad, Fi,
but this is happening.

- How long do I have?
- Five, maybe ten minutes.

I'll see what I can do.

Hello?

Madeline, it's me.
Say, "Hello, Mrs. Reynolds."

Oh, hi, Mrs. Reynolds.
How are you?

Listen, I'm coming in to get
you and Charlie.

But I need you to tell me where
those two men are positioned.

Oh, I'm just puttering
around the kitchen.

Charlie's great, yeah.

He's coloring
over at the dining room table.

So are they guarding
both doors?

Uhhuh.

All right, take Charlie
into the sunroom.

In ten minutes, I'm gonna
come in from the back

and try and to take 'em out

before they know
what's happening.

Keep Charlie close.

I will.
I'd be happy to.

Try to find
some kind of weapon,

just in case.

Okay, will do.

All right,
we'll talk again later.

My neighbor, Mrs. Reynolds.

She's visiting her mother
in Boca

and wants me to go water
her plants

and take in the mail tomorrow.

I'm assuming this will
all be over by then.

Hey, Charlie, sweetheart,
I think he light's

a lot better in the sunroom.

Why don't we go color
over there?

Take the crayons, all right?

Then we'll cover together.
Here we go.

Decent cover.
Solid sight lines.

This should do just fine.

You stay over there.

Pretend you're shooting
at somebody behind the boat.

Sonya and James come in
to help out.

I sneak up behind them
and disable them.

- "Disable" them?
- Yeah.

I find people easier to capture
when they can't walk.

Simon, that's not how
I operate.

Mm, I thought
we covered this.

I'm running this extraction
on orders of the CIA.

Michael, you still
hanging in there?

As a spy, you're supposed
to accomplish your mission

no matter what it costs.

Yeah, James, I'm just
inside the door by a boat.

I'm--I'm engaging
three hostiles.

We're two miles out.
We'll be there soon.

Way to sell the deal, Michael.

I didn't even need
the squealer's help

to send it over the top.

There comes a point, though,

where that's not possible
anymore,

when you're pushed
to the breaking point...

Simon, no!

And beyond.

Ah!

It's not too late, Michael.

Let me go,
and we'll finish the job.

Then you'll be the hero.

Isn't that what you
always wanted, to be the hero?

Not like this.

No, no, no, no, no, no!

Oh, God.

Over here.

Michael!

- What happened?
- I tried to save them.

We were ambushed.
We need to patch you up.

Here. Let me.

Owen and the boys?

They were brave.

Someone will pay.

I should have listened,
Michael.

We never should have
split up.

You came back, James.

Of course.

Brace yourself.
This will hurt.

When you're trying
to save someone

from an enemy
with superior numbers,

the challenge is being
in two places at the same time.

A well-placed
directional charge

will take out windows, walls,

and anyone standing
near them.

Timed precisely,
it can give you the chance

to attack both sides
of a structure at once.

If it works, you take out
all the hostiles inside

before they can hurt the people
you're trying to save.

If it doesn't, you create
one hell of a death trap.

- Something wrong?
- Sorry, I'm kinda nervous.

I'm on my last pack
of nicotine gum.

Withdrawal is
a b-i-t-c-h.

- There's the east boathouse.
- Okay, Fi just texted.

She's pulling Maddy out
in three minutes.

Then we better get this done
before that happens.

All right, safeties off,
heads down.

Let's move!

Nothing on this one either.

They have no I.D.s,
no phones,

not even any tattoos.

These guys were ghosts.

Who the hell do you think
sent them?

I don't know.

You still there?

I just sent you pictures
of the hit squad.

I want them identified ASAP.
Thank you.

We'll be about an hour.
All right.

Let's go.

The thing that keeps
you going

in a deep-cover mission
is knowing that you're fighting

for something you believe in,

that the people you work for
have your back.

But when your own side betrays
what they claim to stand for,

when they're willing
to do things

even your enemies
wouldn't dream of,

everything starts
to fall apart.

And when it comes down
to that final moment,

sometimes you can surprise
even yourself.

Wait. Wait!

Wait.

What is it?

This might be nothing,
but this one was calling in

for a support team
during the firefight.

If backup's on the way,

they'll be coming
from that road.

Is that arm good enough
to swim?

We'll find out.

Let's go out back.

Michael. Michael!

He's gone.

No sign of James
or Sonja either.

What the hell happened here?

I'll tell you
what happened.

You put an Op in the hands
of a psycho,

and it blew up
in our faces.

Oh, Jesus,
I gotta call Fi.

What do you want?
I'm just about to--

No, stop whatever
you're doing.

Mike and James disappeared
on us.

Again?
What happened?

I don't know,
but we lost 'em.

Madeline and Charlie
are still inside.

What do you want me to do?

Get the hell out of there.

The operation's not over.

Jesse, I just set a charge.

You gotta get rid
of it now, right now.

What was that?

You hear something?

Stay there.
Be right back.

It's nothing.

Must be my neighbor's cat.

I give the old fleabag milk
every once in a while,

now he wants me
to adopt him.

Glad you made it, sir.
You all right?

I've seen better days.
Dispose of the vehicle.

Right away.

I'll check to see
if there's been progress

identifying the photos.

Sonya, leave that be.
Come with me.

Michael, join us.

What's going on, James?

Well, we don't need photos
to figure out who did this.

I think we know exactly
where to find that information.

What is that
supposed to mean?

Please...

Don't make this harder
than is has to be.

Make what harder?

James, you're scaring me.
Sonya...

Only two people in the world
knew exactly

where we'd be today.

Me...and you.

What are you talking about?

- James, put the gun down.
- You stay out of this, Michael.

'Cause I didn't tell anybody.

And Michael here, he didn't know
where we'd be.

Neither did these men.

And everyone else
on the mission is dead.

I would never betray you.

- Who did you tell?
- No one.

- Who did you tell?
- No one, I swear it!

Calm down.
It's possible she's not lying.

Somebody could have hack--
no way in hell.

Nobody gets that close to us.

Someone make you
a better offer?

Is this a power play
to take over?

Because I would
respect it.

Couldn't tolerate it.

Whatever your plan was,
it failed.

I was tortured for us,
you know that.

I helped build all of this.

And that, my dear,

is what makes this
so very hard.

Mm, see, I need to know
what you've done,

what you've compromised.

I'm gonna give you
five seconds to come clean

before this becomes
a lot more painful.

Now, who are you
working with?

- Please.
- Who were those men?

Five, four, three...
James, I don't know.

I don't know.
Please don't do this.

- Talk to me! Two...
- James.

Stay out of this, Michael.

One.

She didn't betray you.
I did.

I'm working with the CIA.

I copied the information
off her cell phone

while she slept.

I made a drop
to my CIA contact

with all the data
later that morning.

Sonya knew nothing
about this?

No.

How long you been
with the CIA?

The whole time, James.
What's the point?

If you're gonna shoot me,
get it over with.

You think you get off
that easy?

Good men died today
because of you.

How dare you fight
alongside of us like a brother?

How could you?

It was part of my cover.

I made a deal with the CIA

to keep my friends out of jail.
I had to sell it.

Ah!

You're holding back
on me, Michael.

You saved men's lives,
you killed for us.

No man is that good a liar.

You're a believer.
I saw the fire in your eyes.

Yes, but the things you did,
I didn't agree with all of them,

but...you believed
in something.

You stood for something.

The CIA was waiting

outside the boathouse today,
weren't they?

Yeah.

You could have completed
your mission.

You could have got
your friends off the hook.

And all you had to do was
let us walk out the door.

But you didn't.
Why?

Can we just end this, please?

Not until...
you tell me the truth

for the first goddamn time
in your life.

Why didn't you complete
your mission?

Because the man
they sent after you--Simon.

Because if they worked
with him,

they believe in nothing.

And I believed.

I believed from the first day

of my training at the CIA.

I thought all they stood for
was right.

Even after they burned me!

I gave up everything!

And I wasted my life...
for a lie.

James, are you satisfied?

No, Sonya.

Not yet.
