Meeting with Vaughn, Michael tells that he is looking through Jesse Porter’s, the spy he burned, files and he knows that this goes even deeper. Vaughn tells Michael that they let Jesse Porter go from the office and that he is probably looking for the spy who burned him. Michael tells that he wants to talk with the newly burned spy and that they need him for his information. Vaughn hands Michael the phone records and tells him to bug the phones.

Fiona and Michael are outside Allied Finance and Fiona helps Michael get in. They have 90 seconds to get out. Michael tells that a good spy knows that they need to be in and out and Michael is combing through different phone records. Fiona is in the next room trying to stage a break-in would look like by ripping down posters and spray painting on the wall. She puts the spray cans in a trash can and puts a lit cigarette inside. She runs out and buys Michael and Fiona more time as the trash can and everything inside explodes.

Michael and Sam enter Madeline’s house and the body of his mother is slouched on the armchair. They rush up and she is only listening to music on headphones. The text that she sent that made Michael and Sam so jumpy was “Need help now.” She apparently is not too good at texting etiquette. She wants to convert the garage into a rental space. They tell that they use the garage for “work” which consists of setting off bombs in the garage of course. Sam is upset that Madeline didn’t make it nice when he lived there. She informs that this renter is a paying customer. She says that she wants more stability and calmness in her life.

While renovating the garage, they talk about the bug that is on Jesse Porter’s phone and they get a read on the phone. It is Jesse and he is telling the person on the other end that he is not dirty and that he was set up. The person has something for Jesse to see. Michael writes down the location that was given. Sam is against the whole idea. Sam is on stakeout and Michael and Fiona are looking out for Jesse from above. They get Jesse on the scope. Two SUV’s enter the scene and Jesse doesn’t know. Sam gets out and kicks a bike chain off a bike and wraps it around a telephone line. When this happens, an electrical surge goes through and distracts the drivers and alerts Jesse. Fred, his contact, has sold him out to Ming Khan. Jesse runs and shoots out the tires of the SUV. He escapes.

Michael searches all over and can’t find Jesse. Jesse’s “contact” Fred was found dead. Michael returns to the “office” and finds the lock turned the other way. He jumps over the fence and puts a gun on Jesse. This time Jesse was looking for Michael. He needs his help. Michael lets Jesse in and Jesse makes small talk. He wants help from an old enemy Ming Khan. Michael tells that he has friends that can help him. Jesse is going to stay with Fiona in an abandoned warehouse. Ming Khan is a ruthless guy and Michael has a plan to get him to buy weapons from him. Michael enters a restaurant where Khan is eating and takes down a bodyguard to make his point. Michael sits down with him and says that his name is Turner. When mentioning Jesse, Khan tells that he doesn’t know him. Lee, Khan’s number two is beside him. He tells that Khan’s meeting with Jesse at the park sent him into hiding and that he is very valuable to him. Khan and Lee are certain that they can find Jesse on their own. But the bait is set.

Jesse and Michael are talking about the plan and Michael introduces him to Sam who has the strategy to get Khan to want to work with Michael. Jesse is in position and changes up the plan a little bit. He jumps over the wall and invites Khan to fight. Michael sees this and goes in. Jesse, to add to the flare, shoots at Michael’s car. Michael gets out and shoots at Jessie. Khan and Lee and the others have their guns on Michael. They are not quite convinced. Michael turns around hoping he doesn’t get shot in the back and Khan puts his gun away. The next scene Jessie comes back and Michael and Sam are replacing the windshield Jesse shot through. Sam warns that if Jesse does that again, they are going to “dance”. They get in each other’s faces and Michael tells that he is in with Khan and for them to back off.

Michael meets with Khan and Lee in the next scene. He tells that they are going to need some heavy artillery to get to Jesse. Khan’s number two Lee tells that he doesn’t think it is a good idea. But Michael tells that Jesse went after them first. Khan agrees with Michael and sends the money to Michael’s account. Jesse and Fiona start going to work to outfit the truck with suspension and Nitro boosters. Michael has the weapons and tells that he will carry them for Kahn. Lee doesn’t agree and wants to carry them to the place Jesse supposedly is. This was Michael’s plan all the time. As the group drives past Sam, he calls the police and tells them that a drug deal is in progress and gives Michael’s and Khan’s location. Driving, Khan and Lee get the cops behind him and Lee looses control and flips the car. They get arrested.

Michael is trying to get a hold of Jesse and keeps getting voice mail. The phone rings. It is Khan. They found Jesse and wants Michael to come interrogate him. Michael tells that Jesse needs to be in one piece if the deal is going to go through. Fiona and Michael exits and Fiona needs to go to Barry and get Lee’s bank account. Sam pulls up an obituary of a Kathy Porter and wants to use it in the plan to set up Lee. Michael enters with the bank account and the place of the account printed in the obituary. He smacks Jesse. Michael tells that he killed his Aunt Kathy and that his mom is next. Playing along, Jesse gets aggravated. Michael makes Jesse look at the piece of paper that has all the information he needs. Jesse tells the account number and location of Lee’s bank account and lies and says that he was told to wire the money there. Lee, knowing that he was set up, lunges at Jesse and attempts to strangle him. Kahn points his gun at Lee. Both Lee and Khan shoot each other. Both are dead.

Back at Fiona’s, Jesse tells that he needs a new place to stay. Fiona tells that Michael’s mom Madeline needs a tenant and it is already set up. Michael talks with his mom and asks why she doesn’t want a tenant with a cat. She admits that she likes the fact that someone sleeps with a gun under his pillow. Michael visits Jesse in his new place and wants to know why he got burned. Jesse tells that he was looking at serious stuff and that he was close at finding it to the end until he was burned. Jesse tells Michael that he is going to see it through and the moment he gets his position back, he is going to find the spy that burned him and kill him.
