Past & Future Tense - Recap

The scene opens with Michael and the crew are at the beach and Jesse’s tells that his old boss, Marv is in town for the spy convention and asks Michael to lean on him a little to get the information that he needs. Thinking it was going to be a nice day at the beach, Fiona is a little upset. Marv, Jesse’s old boss, is at a bar and Michael introduces himself and he tells that Jesse is working the case that got him burned still and needs information. But, before he could convince him, Marv tells that he is not going to give information to burned spies and for him to leave him alone. Michael and the crew see men in suits and recognize them as Russian operatives. They are there to kill a spy.

As the men pack their “equipment” on the cart and enter the elevator, Fiona quickly blocks the last operative and Jesse makes him go in another elevator. Jesse hits the 4th floor and Fiona is there with a gun. Jesse points his gun behind him. Jesse carries the body of the Russian in a case outside and puts it in the trunk of Michael’s car. Later, Sam is arguing that he wants to be the one to rough up the Russian and Michael tells that he can be the bad one but Fiona is going to be the worst one. Sam handcuff’s the Russian and pulls out his passport. His name is Alexi and he is not talking. Michael enters and Alexi doesn’t believe it because he is known as a ghost to the Russian spies. Michael shows off his Russian and asks who they were going to kill. Alexi is still not talking and Fiona enters with a knife. They tell that they are going to kill Alexi. He gets scared and tells that they are going to kill a Paul Anderson at a fish bar.

Michael and Sam go to meet Paul and ask where Paul is. He tells that he is at the end of the bar. Michael and Sam ask another guy and he tells that there is not Paul. They have been tricked. Sam feels a gun at his hip. It is Paul. They tell that Russians are coming for him and that they can protect him. He tells that he is going to kill them but Michael tells that it is a bad idea. Sam tells that the Russians have arrived and that they are going to have to get out of there. They disguise their taking the Russians out by telling that they partied too hard. Vitali, the leader of the Russian Operatives, is with his men at the bar and Michael, Sam, and Paul exit with no issues.

Michael takes Paul to the “safe house” and Paul tells that he doesn’t want to sleep there. Fiona enters from inside and Paul quickly changes his mind. Fiona tries to talk to Michael about Jesse and he tells her to simply watch Jesse and make sure that he is not digging too deep so that he doesn’t find out who burned him. At a hotel, Fiona bumps into Marv at the pool and tells that her name is Barbara and wants to meet him privately in her hotel room. Marv is not sure as he looks at his wife every now and then. Fiona tells that it is strictly business and Marv tells that he can. Meanwhile, Sam meets with Congressmen Cowley outside as he is getting in his limo and his secretary tells that he can’t get a meeting with him unless it is scheduled. Sam calls Madeline and asks her to meet him. At the same time, Paul and Michael go to Vatali’s and has Alexi with him. He tells that he has C4 strapped to Alexi and if they don’t leave then he will kill them. He threatens as he walks away from setting off the bomb. Michael leaves and Paul is not back from the task.

Inside the home, Paul is still trying to get the folder with his information from the safe and can’t remember the combination. Michael attaches a speaker to it and can hear the clicks to open the safe and accomplishes the task. They get the folder that is going to bring Congressmen Cowley to give Paul protection from the Russians. But their time wasting cost them their cover and the Russians start to chase them. They get chance by Vitali and his men and Michael, while stuck in traffic, makes it so that one car gets out of the chase by unhooking a boat from the trailer. He grabs a blanket and a flare gun and tells Paul to drop it on the windshield of Vitali and shoot it with a flare gun. He does it and Michael calls Sam and tells that they have satellites that are tracking them and that they need to get Cowley and Sam tells that Madeline is working on it.

Madeline goes up to Cowley and tells that Paul is waiting at a house and that he needs to go with her. Otherwise she will tell about their “affair” and make his day bad. He obliges. Meanwhile, Marv meets with Fiona about the „business” deal and Jesse is there. He asks Marv for the name of a Bank and that is all. Marv tells that he will get him the name but that he and Jesse are not to speak to each other again. At the house, Cowley meets with Paul and Michael and he is not happy about it. They tell that Paul needs protection and Cowley tells that the information that they have on him is outdated and false. He tells that he is going to throw Paul in jail and Paul attempts to hit him. Michael holds him back until Cowley tells that he is going to make sure that Sam and Madeline are audited every year for as long as they live and tells Michael that he will put some dirt on his grave. Paul hits the Congressman unconscious.

Madeline and Sam walk in and Madeline, at the site of the unconscious Cowley tells that she is going to take a cab home. Michael tells that they are going to have to turn the place upside down to set up for the Russians. The Russians arrive and they wake up Cowley. He tells that he is going to call the police and Michael shows him that the Russians have arrived and they start to set up to stop the men. They block the house exits and trap them inside. Michael tells Vitali to give up their guns and they do reluctantly. The Russians walk out and Vitali tells that Russians are going to come back.

Marv meets with Fiona and tells that they were going to hit a certain bank and that he found that Jesse’s card was used on the day that he got burned and gives Fiona the records. He tells that if they track down the records on that form, they will find out who burned Jesse. Marv leaves and Fiona reluctantly crumbles up the evidence. Jesse tells that he is going to scout the bank and Fiona tells tomorrow they will. Fiona smacks Michael and tells that she destroyed the evidence to lead back to Michael as the spy who burned him. She tries to hit him again and he stops her. He thanks her for getting rid of the evidence. Fiona tells that she is tired of lying to Jesse and tells that Michael doesn’t care for people anymore. He tries to reassures her but she doesn’t want to believe him and walks away.
