- yesterday
Michael's landlord, Oleg, is having a problem with one of his waitresses. She hasn't come into work because she witnessed a crime committed by a man who just happens to be a member of a local drug cartel. Michael is (mostly) happy to look into it, as he also continues his investigation into who stuck him with his burn notice.

Short filmTranscript
00:01My name is Michael Weston.
00:03I used to be a spy until...
00:05We got a burn notice on you. You're black, Weston.
00:08When you're burned, you've got nothing.
00:11No cash, no credit, no job history.
00:13You're stuck in whatever city they decide to dump you in.
00:16Miami.
00:18You do whatever work comes your way.
00:21You rely on anyone who's still talking to you.
00:24A trigger-happy ex-girlfriend.
00:26Should I shoot them?
00:27An old friend who's informing on you to the FBI.
00:29You know, spies, a bunch of bitchy little girls.
00:32Family, too.
00:33Is that your mom again?
00:34If you're desperate...
00:35Someone needs your help, Michael.
00:36Bottom line, until you figure out who burned you,
00:39you're not going anywhere.
00:51International conferences attract spies
00:53for the same reason hotel bars attract hookers.
00:56You can do business and drink for free.
00:59It looks like your FBI tail found us.
01:01Should we call this off?
01:02No.
01:03Keep the engine running.
01:04I'll try to make this quick.
01:05Fi, this is not an armored assault.
01:06What, you think they're just going to give you a list
01:07of covert operatives coming to this conference?
01:08All I need is a name.
01:09Somebody in Miami who can get me.
01:10Homeland Security directive that burned me.
01:11One name.
01:12I don't need a gun for that.
01:13You're no fun, Mike.
01:14Any high security function is going to have a lot of oversight.
01:16A lot of meetings, a lot of bureaucrats checking up on each other.
01:19You remember I forgot my badge.
01:20The security office is...
01:21Right.
01:22In all the confusion of the big event, it's easy for another bureaucrat to just...
01:27show up.
01:28Security brief, right?
01:29It's alright.
01:30Security brief, right?
01:31It's alright.
01:33Anyway, we're, uh, concentrating our efforts on crowd control, if we get protester.
01:36And again, the government will have a majority of the people's rights.
01:37If you don't have any rules, if you don't have any rules, if you don't have any rules,
01:38right?
01:39They are you going to have any rules that have to be considered?
01:40Hello?
01:41Hello?
01:42Hello?
01:43Hello?
01:44Hello?
01:45Hello?
01:46Hello?
01:47Hello?
01:48Hello?
01:49Hello?
01:50Hello?
01:51Hello?
01:52Hello?
01:53Hello?
01:54Hi?
01:54Hi.
01:55Hi, I'm kinda.
01:56Hi.
01:57Hi.
01:58Hello?
01:59Sounds good.
02:01Excuse me, which office are you with?
02:03I'm an interdepartmental liaison.
02:05They just wanted me to come down,
02:07make sure we're up to speed on everything you guys are doing.
02:09Looks like things are under control.
02:11Is there anything you need from us, support-wise?
02:13I don't do that. Okay, then, well, you let us know
02:15if there's anything you want us to coordinate on our end.
02:17The important thing is to disappear
02:19before people can ask questions.
02:21Excuse me, sir. Sir.
02:23Excuse me. Great. Hey!
02:25If they do decide to ask questions,
02:27you just have to hope you're in a building
02:29with a lot of hallways, a good service basement.
02:31Locked.
02:33And plenty of exits.
02:35This is a fire hazard.
02:41Sir, stop!
02:43But in the end,
02:45sometimes making an escape is just about
02:47being willing to do what the guy chasing you won't.
02:51Like jump off a building.
02:57I just walked two miles with a twisted ankle.
03:13What happened to keep the car running?
03:15The stolen car, Michael.
03:17Your feds were getting curious.
03:19I had a gun in the car.
03:21My little mission was in danger of being compromised,
03:23so I returned to base.
03:25And broke in again.
03:27I think our little post-Operation debriefing
03:29has taught us that you need a car
03:31and I need a key to your apartment.
03:33A key?
03:34Aren't you more comfortable breaking in?
03:35What is your problem with me having a key, Michael?
03:37I don't want anyone to have a key to my place.
03:39It's a security issue.
03:41Right. And your problem with car ownership?
03:43You prefer the bus?
03:45Your incentive transportation is more secure?
03:47I don't even know where to get a car.
03:49My assets are frozen.
03:51I don't even have a driver's license.
03:53I spoke to your mom.
03:54Apparently you have a car.
03:56Your father's old, uh, what is it?
03:59Charger. Not interested.
04:01What are you doing talking to my mom?
04:03We chat.
04:04You know what I think?
04:06I think a car is a commitment.
04:09I think you're afraid to be tied down.
04:12You have a problem with the lock?
04:18More like a problem with boundaries.
04:20Apartment is good for you, yes?
04:24Apartment is good.
04:26Yeah, club is good too, but always competition though.
04:29Many problems.
04:33What do you need, Oleg?
04:34I have a waitress, Kara.
04:36Knows my regulars.
04:37On a good night, half of my business is from her.
04:39But for a week now, she doesn't come to work.
04:42You don't want me filling in for her, trust me.
04:44Oh, I need her, but she's scared to leave her house.
04:47Someone threatened her.
04:48Maybe boyfriend.
04:49What do you want me to do?
04:50I think maybe you can help.
04:51You got rid of the drug dealer next door,
04:53so I think maybe it's no problem for you, huh?
04:56Look, take care of this.
04:59I'll give you free rent for two months, yes?
05:02Four months, duh?
05:04Okay.
05:07I'll talk to him.
05:13So, you work for Oleg.
05:15We have an arrangement.
05:16I'm here to see if I can help.
05:18So, a couple weeks ago, I was driving home from work.
05:21Oh.
05:22Oh, recycled grounds.
05:26I haven't been out to the store in more than a week.
05:28I haven't been anywhere.
05:30It's fine.
05:31Uh, so, what exactly is the situation?
05:33Do you know who's threatening you?
05:35Kind of.
05:36A couple weeks ago, I was driving home after work around three,
05:40and I saw this pizza delivery guy rear in this gold Lexus.
05:43But the guy in the Lexus pulled this poor kid out of the car
05:46and started pounding him with this steering wheel lock.
05:50I got the license plate number, and I called the cops.
05:53So, you're the only witness?
05:55Yeah.
05:56Pizza delivery kid is on life support, so it's just me.
06:00The next week, I get home, and there's a rat nailed at my door.
06:05So, I went to the police, and I figured that they could protect me, right?
06:08And they're like, we'll send some patrols by.
06:11Meanwhile, there are these scary guys coming around my work,
06:14and somebody's hanging around Sophie's school, wanting to know where we live, and...
06:18Sophie?
06:19Yeah.
06:20Sophie?
06:23This has been really hard on her being cooped up in this, you know, little house.
06:28Sophie.
06:29Um, this is Michael.
06:33Um, he's a...
06:36What are you exactly?
06:38Someone Oleg thought could help.
06:41So, are you going to help, or what?
06:44I'll see what I can do.
06:50This is good.
06:51It's a Persian recipe.
06:52You haven't cooked for me in a while.
06:53Years.
06:54What is it you want, Michael?
06:55Listen, Pete.
06:56If I show up at that hotel now that the conference has started, I'll set off every alarm there is.
07:11I need your help.
07:12There's a delegate I need to talk to.
07:15Akham Tabet.
07:16Is he a friend?
07:17Not exactly.
07:18I saved his life a while back.
07:19He owes me.
07:21You want me to track down an Egyptian spy, and in return I get...
07:26What?
07:27This meal?
07:28I mean, it's tasty, but...
07:30You want me to ask my mom for the car, I'll ask my mom for the car.
07:47Asking my mom for anything is a lot like getting a favor from a Russian mob boss.
07:51He'll give you what you want with a smile, but believe me, you'll pay for it.
07:55What are you doing, Mom?
07:56Making a salad.
07:57I'm getting healthy.
07:59Does the recipe call for cigarette ash?
08:02One mountain a day, Michael.
08:04That's what my yoga teacher said.
08:06Uh, you never leave the house.
08:08Where are you meeting yogis?
08:10I bought a yoga DVD on the Home Shopping Network.
08:13That's great.
08:15Listen.
08:18I need the car.
08:19The charger.
08:22Oh, Michael, that's wonderful.
08:25Your father always wanted you to have something to remember him by.
08:28Oh, I have this to remember him by.
08:30I remember what fun you two had, always working on cars in the garage.
08:34Fun?
08:35I remember him making me fake a seizure at Mr. Goodwrench so he could steal spark plugs.
08:40I remember him quitting every project early and handing me a to-do list to finish the job forum.
08:45And look at you now, Michael.
08:48So many things you can do.
08:50Here, honey.
08:54My father's approach to machinery was similar to his approach to his family.
09:03If you don't like how something works, keep banging on it till it does what you want.
09:07If something doesn't fit, force it.
09:09And above all, make sure it looks good on the outside.
09:26Spark plugs.
09:28Perfect.
09:29Thank you, Melinda.
09:30So, a babysitting gig?
09:31What are you, that hard up for cash?
09:32Hey, at least I've got an apartment.
09:33I'm working on that.
09:34I've got a few irons in the fire.
09:35Hey, so this, uh, this new job, you want some help?
09:39Maybe I could provide a little something?
09:40I already sent Fiona over to Kara's place.
09:42Oh, come on, Mike.
09:43You got a sexy cocktail waitress that needs protecting you.
09:46You send Fiona.
09:47What is she, 80 pounds?
09:48Mike, come on.
09:49Look at that.
09:50Guns of steel.
09:51Well, I'll tell you what.
09:52If there's a situation that requires showing off your upper body and boozy flirting,
09:54you're my guy.
09:55Oh, that's love.
09:56Oh, that's love.
09:57You're my guy.
09:58You're my guy.
09:59You're my guy.
10:00You're my guy.
10:01You're my guy.
10:02You're my guy.
10:03You're my guy.
10:04You're my guy.
10:05You're my guy.
10:06You're my guy.
10:07You're my guy.
10:08Oh, that's love.
10:09Listen, I need you to have one of your cop buddies check on a license plate and get
10:12an address.
10:17Okay.
10:18Next time I get the girl.
10:20So I have one teaspoon of brown cumin.
10:23Oh, too much cumin.
10:24You cook?
10:25Used to.
10:26I was in chef school when I got pregnant.
10:29But I was failing out.
10:31I was 19.
10:32A mess.
10:34And then Sophie came along.
10:37She saved my life.
10:38All right, his name is Alvaro De Santos.
10:50That's him there at the outdoor table.
10:52Want me to go in with you?
10:54No, you stay with the car.
10:56You get a little distracted in bars.
10:58Fair enough.
10:59If I have the second, just grab me a couple.
11:04Convincing a bully to back down is usually just a matter of showing you're not afraid
11:08of him.
11:09Can I help you?
11:10I think so.
11:11A friend of mine, Kara Stagner, she has a rat problem.
11:14You come here.
11:15Sounds like she needs an exterminator.
11:17A little late for that.
11:21They're nailed to her door.
11:24I want this to stop.
11:25Take your chances at trial.
11:27There are worse things than going to jail.
11:29Oh, yes?
11:30What things?
11:31Of course, some bullies have guys with 357 magnums.
11:34Then you change tactics.
11:35There's no need for unpleasantness.
11:37I'm just trying to resolve this situation.
11:39I'm happy you come here.
11:41This situation, as you call it, it's going to be resolved within the hour.
11:48By the time we finish our mojitos, this will all be done.
11:52For good.
12:01Go, go, go!
12:02Hello?
12:03How did it go?
12:04Fee, DeSantos has a hit squad on the way.
12:05No worries.
12:06I need you to go in the bathroom, get in the tub and stay down.
12:07What?
12:08Yes, sweetie.
12:09Do it before someone starts shooting.
12:10Where's your liquor cabinet?
12:32When faced with a superior force, you can do two things.
12:42You can retreat quietly, or you can attack with as much fanfare as possible.
12:48Last call, boys.
13:03How many were there?
13:05I don't know.
13:06Four.
13:07They took off after cocktail hour.
13:09Fee, it looks like Fallujah down there.
13:11I was half hoping they'd stick around for a bit.
13:13Kara's got quite a liquor cabinet good for a ten hour siege.
13:16Michael.
13:17You okay?
13:18Can't we just tell them?
13:19I won't testify.
13:20I don't care.
13:21Once they send guys to your house to kill you, they're past the I promise not to tell stage.
13:24We need to get them out of here.
13:25Where are we going?
13:26Mike, you know you can't take them back to your apartment.
13:28Kara works downstairs.
13:29They're going to come looking.
13:32I know a place.
13:41How long are they going to be here?
13:44I'm not sure how long they'll be here.
13:46Maybe a few days?
13:47Why the garage though?
13:48We have a very nice guest room.
13:50I need to control access points.
13:52Trust me, it's better.
13:53This way you can have the whole house.
13:54You can do your, uh, yoga.
13:57Michael.
13:59All these years, ever since your first background check, all those letters where you couldn't
14:05say where you were.
14:06I never asked questions.
14:08Now, I want to know what you're doing.
14:10They're in danger.
14:11And I'm helping them.
14:13Okay?
14:14Please, Mom.
14:19Do something for me.
14:22Go see your father's grave.
14:24It would mean a lot to me.
14:25I'll think about it.
14:27Outfitting a safe house is about two things.
14:33You need to know if someone's coming, and you need to know how the folks you're protecting
14:38are going to get out of there if they do.
14:41And if you can't be on babysitting duty all the time, you need to make sure that you know
14:46the minute something's wrong.
14:47A $35 outdoor floodlight has a decent motion detector on it.
14:56Wire that to a cell phone, and you've got a remote alarm system that will call you if
15:00there's trouble.
15:10Nice.
15:11You came with the phone.
15:13So if anyone comes in here, you'll know.
15:16And if that goes off, I'll know too.
15:19So we're supposed to stay in here?
15:21In the garage?
15:23And do nothing?
15:24Pretty much.
15:25It's not so bad as safe houses go.
15:26You've got a TV, at least.
15:27I once spent three days in a Riyadh storage facility with nothing but a flashlight and
15:31an Arabic celebrity magazine.
15:33Can I call my friends, at least?
15:35No.
15:36No outside contact until this is over.
15:38They're high school students.
15:40You're completely paranoid.
15:41Maybe.
15:42But I'm still breathing.
15:44Now, if you need to run, you can go safely through that opening.
15:48But don't...
15:50See?
15:51Don't touch that.
15:52I'll be rigging this so that if anyone comes through this door, they'll be electrocuted.
15:56I don't want you to get zapped accidentally.
15:58Whatever.
15:59It's a freaking garage.
16:00I'd rather be killed than live here.
16:02Well, those are your two options.
16:04I'll miss our spring formal.
16:06Is it too much to ask to go to one dance?
16:08Look, these guys know where you go to high school.
16:11If they have any brands at all, they will put the word out there.
16:13You show up, someone makes a phone call.
16:15You really think they're gonna use kids at my school?
16:17Are you serious?
16:18That's what I would do.
16:19I can't believe this.
16:21This is Sophie!
16:22This is Sophie!
16:23We are very grateful.
16:26Michael, I am sorry.
16:27No, it's fine.
16:28Sophie, you might want to go use the bathroom.
16:29I'm gonna lock down for the night.
16:35Kids.
16:36Thank you, Mary Pose.
16:37I appreciate it.
16:38Hey, what's happening here?
16:39What?
16:40Bus fare.
16:41What about your car?
16:42I thought you had some wheels.
16:43Spark plugs.
16:44Spark plugs cost two bucks, man.
16:45I know.
16:46My dad rebuilt the engine.
16:47The ignition system is shot.
16:48Plugs won't fit until I rebuild the system from scratch.
16:51Scratch?
16:52Sounds like you and your pop had a lot in common.
16:53Changing the subject.
16:54What did you find out about DeSantos?
16:55Well, I checked around.
16:56He's a distributor for one of the drug cartels.
16:57He's not a major player, but he's got some firepower.
16:58Any chance we can nudge the FBI to pick him up?
17:01Your little FBI surveillance team is more interested in your romp at the convention than
17:04doing your favors, FYI.
17:05Well, look, it sounds like they've been trying to make a case against DeSantos, but nothing
17:06ever sticks.
17:07You know how these guys are.
17:08Who's DeSantos' lawyer?
17:09Gelman.
17:10Who?
17:11Oh, that's right.
17:12You've been running around the world for the past decade.
17:14You've been trying to make a case against DeSantos, but nothing ever sticks.
17:17You know how these guys are.
17:18Who's DeSantos' lawyer?
17:19Gelman.
17:20Who?
17:21Oh, that's right.
17:22You've been running around the world for the past decade.
17:24Bruce Gelman.
17:25He's the lawyer for the whole drug cartel.
17:26From DeSantos all the way up to El Jefe.
17:27Guess I'd better meet Gelman.
17:28What is this?
17:29Weapon?
17:30Nothing you need to worry about.
17:31You know what I worry about?
17:32I worry about my waitress.
17:33How long this takes, Michael?
17:34A week now?
17:35I'm working on it.
17:36Things got a little complicated, but I think I found someone DeSantos will listen
17:38to.
17:39I love DeSantos.
17:40I love commuters.
17:55Anybody who drives the same route to work every day, it's like they're doing all the work
17:59for you.
18:00And a punctual commuter?
18:01A guy who's in the same place every morning at 8.36 AM?
18:05It's almost too easy.
18:10I'm gonna feel really bad if you don't have a triple-A card.
18:13Is this a robbery?
18:18The wallet, keys, or in the car?
18:20Is this the 7 Series with the leather seats?
18:23Tempting, but it needs new tires and I'm here on business.
18:25Business?
18:26I've been calling and calling, trying to make an appointment, maybe get you on the phone.
18:29And then I thought, he's a busy man.
18:32I'll just talk to him on his way into work.
18:33What do you want?
18:34Alvaro DeSantos.
18:35I want to talk to you about his assault trial.
18:38And my daughter wants a pony.
18:41I don't discuss my client's business.
18:43A pony?
18:44That's funny.
18:45Well, I'll do all the talking then.
18:47I don't know how much attention you've been paying to your client lately, but he's been
18:50a bad boy.
18:51Witness intimidation, attempted murder.
18:54You know, the kind of things that could cause problems for your other clients.
19:01You have no idea who you're dealing with.
19:04No, I read the article.
19:05Most of it anyway.
19:06Scary guys, drugs, guns.
19:08I missed something.
19:09I doubt El Jefe, back in Colombia, wants to risk yet another murder investigation,
19:13just so DeSantos can avoid a few years in prison.
19:16Have El Jefe tell DeSantos to back off.
19:21I want an answer by tomorrow.
19:23I'll meet you here, same time.
19:25Understood?
19:26Oh, I understand.
19:34How'd it go?
19:35Gelman gonna talk to Colombia, make her lives easy?
19:37Hope so.
19:38Those two can only stay in my mom's garage for so long.
19:40And if he doesn't go for it?
19:42Then our lives aren't so easy.
19:44There's your man.
19:50Oh, been a while.
19:51He's lost a little, a lot of hair.
19:53I tailed him for you.
19:55He's running a nice Mercedes.
19:58Spends a lot of time in restaurants.
20:00He lives pretty well for a spy.
20:01Hands out bribes mostly.
20:03Bid rigging, industrial espionage.
20:05Listen, I need you to keep watching him.
20:06Let me know when's the best time to get next door.
20:08What then?
20:09What then?
20:10Then I'll find out who's behind this.
20:13I'm just curious about your plans.
20:15I suppose if you get this resolved then you'll leave Miami.
20:18Fi, can we talk about this later?
20:20Threaten any serious criminal organization and they're going to do one of two things.
20:41They'll send someone to make a deal or they'll send someone to make a corpse.
20:47Either way, you've got something to work with.
20:49And we'll get back.
21:05Problem with the detonator?
21:07I borrowed this when you went to take a leak.
21:15Gelman's not coming, is he?
21:17What's going on?
21:18I don't know nothing.
21:19Oh, come on.
21:20Don't be so modest.
21:21You hear things around the water cooler at the office.
21:27I could take the other knee out if that helps.
21:29They talked to the guys in Colombia.
21:31They say to kill you all.
21:35Really?
21:41That's not what I was hoping they'd say.
21:49What?
21:50We have to leave Miami?
21:52You don't have a choice.
21:53The whole cartel is after you now.
21:54They won't stop until you're dead.
21:55What about you?
21:56They don't care about me.
21:57I'm just in their way.
21:58So we just leave?
22:00That's it?
22:01Sophie, Sophie, he's just trying to help us.
22:03It was bad enough being stuck in here,
22:05but now we're just supposed to up and leave?
22:06What about my friends?
22:08It's my senior year.
22:10I have a date for the dance.
22:12Remita's clear.
22:13Sam's out front keeping a lookout.
22:15Can't you do something?
22:17Didn't you say you were better at tactical whatever
22:20than he is?
22:21What?
22:22I am.
22:23I'm sure Fi would be happy to take on the cartel
22:25with a lighter and whatever's in the liquor cabinet,
22:28but trust me, it's not an option.
22:30You have to go now.
22:31Michael, we don't even have our things.
22:32Can we at least just go home?
22:33No, they'll have people watching your house.
22:36But I need my phone.
22:38It has all my friends' numbers on it.
22:40Maybe I'm not being clear.
22:42You will leave Miami.
22:43You will not contact anyone.
22:45You will start over.
22:46They want Kara and Sophie Stagner dead.
22:48It is our job to turn Kara and Sophie Stagner into ghosts.
22:52I know how you feel.
23:05Normally I would agree with you.
23:07Michael would change his identity and disappear to get out of a parking ticket.
23:11But in this case, he's right.
23:13It's for the best.
23:18Okay, so where do we go?
23:20I need you to write up a list.
23:21Places you have family, vacation spots,
23:24anywhere you've been in the last ten years or so.
23:26You can go anywhere.
23:27That's not on that list.
23:29Or will they just follow us?
23:30Trust me.
23:31They will not know where you're heading.
23:34They will not know where to play with you.
23:36I have no idea what to do.
23:37I know never know why.
23:38Okay, we've got to get over to Kara's apartment now.
23:41When you go on the run, the first thing you do is lay down tracks in the opposite direction.
23:51But that only works if the bad guys find the trail and believe it's for real.
23:55which means selling it.
23:57You need to put on a little show, make them feel clever.
24:00When you make somebody work to get a piece of information,
24:03he'll believe it that much more because it's hard to get.
24:08I'm in Kara's apartment. They see me?
24:10Yeah. Hurry up, Faye.
24:13Michael, are you worried about me?
24:17That is sweet.
24:18Sometimes I feel like you're more of a romantic than you realize.
24:21See, there are guys with guns outside.
24:23That's not that bad.
24:24Last week, I was holding in some dodgy metal.
24:26I don't want to hear about your other jobs, okay?
24:28If I knew you were going to take this long,
24:30I would have done it myself.
24:31Don't be silly. You're on their hit list.
24:34Just hurry.
24:35Actually, I was thinking that now would be a good time
24:37to talk to you about getting a key to your place.
24:40Kiona, please.
24:42What? I'm just saying it's practical.
24:45I'm not talking about moving in.
24:47I could come over any time and we could...
24:49Okay, here they come. Get out of there now.
24:54So what do you think?
24:56Key?
24:58Two more coming in, and a Santos.
25:02I want an answer.
25:08Faye, just go to the back door and get out of there now.
25:10Yes or no.
25:12Fine, just get out of there.
25:14Faye! Fiona, get out of there!
25:16God damn it, Faye, get out of there!
25:18Ticket!
25:28As far as DeSantos and the Colombians are concerned,
25:31the Stagnars are off to Salt Lake City.
25:34You know, Michael, if I'm gonna be there more,
25:36you really ought to get some proper furniture.
25:39So they think we're going to Salt Lake City,
25:42but we're really going...
25:43Going to Buffalo.
25:44Tomorrow morning, you're on the first flight.
25:46Airport security is your friend at a time like this.
25:49What are we supposed to do in Buffalo?
25:50Same thing you do here.
25:52There are malls and clothing stores.
26:04Such a tough age just to get up and move.
26:06I joined the military at her age.
26:08I left home with 50 bucks and a change of clothes.
26:10Was someone trying to chase you down and kill you?
26:14I'll talk to you no more.
26:19Yeah, Faye.
26:21Your Egyptian just got back and he has dinner reservations.
26:25I'll be right there.
26:31Approaching a spy in the middle of a job gives you a lot of leverage.
26:34They're playing a delicate game,
26:36and the last thing they want is someone coming in
26:38and smashing their delicate game with a brick.
26:41Good to see you, Akam.
26:43Good to see you, Michael.
26:45My old friend.
26:46Why, just the other day, I was telling someone...
26:49Michael.
26:50...how you saved my life.
26:51It's good to see you.
26:53I'm in a meeting, maybe later.
26:54I need a few minutes with him, guys.
26:56You don't mind, do you?
26:57What do you want?
27:03I need your help.
27:04Akam, if it wasn't for me, you'd be buried somewhere in the desert.
27:09A horror story diplomats tell one another around the campfire,
27:12but you're not because I helped you.
27:14I'm grateful.
27:15But you're burned.
27:16You're out.
27:17You're still in business, though.
27:18Wasn't that the vice chair of the Sudanese delegation?
27:21And what is that?
27:23That is...
27:24Oh.
27:25What do you want?
27:26Well, for starters, a sip of your drink.
27:27I mean, the taste is the...
27:30Oh.
27:31Oh, and, uh...
27:32A copy of the Homeland Security Directive
27:34that authorized my burn notice?
27:36I can't.
27:37Sure you can.
27:38Because you don't want me to tell your friends there
27:40about the jobs you did on the wrong side of his border.
27:45Maybe he'll forgive you.
27:47I got your back like nobody got it ever.
27:51Yeah, I need an answer...
27:53now.
27:56I also need your valet ticket.
28:00What happened?
28:01Where is she?
28:02She's gone.
28:03The alarm went off, and...
28:04How many?
28:05How many men were there, and did you get a look at their car?
28:07What?
28:08No, there was nobody.
28:09She's like how I was asleep.
28:10It's her spring formal.
28:11Sam.
28:12Sam.
28:13I need you to get to the safe house.
28:15Yeah, just let me put on some pants.
28:17Come naked.
28:18Just get here now.
28:19Mike.
28:20If they find Sophie...
28:21They're gonna...
28:22Hey.
28:23I'll find her first.
28:40Sophie.
28:42Sophie.
28:44Oh, come on.
28:46One night.
28:47Why?
28:48Why can't you just leave me alone?
28:54One night.
28:55That's all I wanted.
28:56But you have to be a drama queen.
28:57Why can't you just leave me alone?
28:58I don't understand.
28:59Oh, my God.
29:00Oh, my God.
29:01Oh, my God.
29:02Oh, my God.
29:03Sound files.
29:04Where is it?
29:07Turn the lights back on.
29:08But they'll find us.
29:09We're not hiding.
29:16You will go out the back door.
29:17You're gonna meet me behind the gym.
29:19And I will find you in five minutes.
29:23Seriously.
29:24Go.
29:25I can't.
29:26No arguments.
29:27Go.
29:28Sophie, go right now.
29:29You can't leave me.
29:30I won't let anything bad happen to you.
29:32Go.
29:33Go.
29:34Go.
29:35Go.
29:54Basic rule of bodyguarding.
29:56Never fight with the protectee around,
29:58mostly because if they happen to catch a stray bullet,
30:01you just lost your job.
30:16Sophie.
30:19Sophie?
30:21Sophie, bad guy's gone now.
30:23Soph?
30:28I should have listened to you.
30:33I'm sorry.
30:34Let's go.
30:39I barely had a chance to go inside.
30:45I didn't even have a chance to say goodbye to my boyfriend.
30:47Boyfriend?
30:48I thought it was just a date.
30:50He could have been my boyfriend.
30:54I'll never know now.
30:59I was on this job once in Dublin.
31:02The whole plan fell apart.
31:04Totally compromised.
31:06I only had an hour to get out of the country.
31:08I couldn't get word back to a key asset I had developed in the IRA.
31:19It was Fiona.
31:21We were...
31:23involved romantically.
31:25Are you guys still together?
31:27No.
31:29But we reconnected later.
31:34Sort of.
31:37Sophie, we should go.
31:39So you're saying that if we're meant to be together,
31:40that we'll find each other?
31:43Sure.
31:47You're really bad at this?
31:48Yeah.
31:49It's just hard, you know?
31:56Leave your whole life behind.
32:02Sometimes it can be.
32:07Yeah.
32:11Can I go now?
32:12Bottom line is, DeSantos knows Cara hasn't left.
32:25Eventually he'll hunt her down.
32:27We need a more permanent solution.
32:29It's about time.
32:30Fee.
32:31Sam, have you talked to your FBI buddies lately?
32:34As we've been through this, all right?
32:35They're not my buddies.
32:36They're... they're just...
32:37Your keepers?
32:38Your master?
32:39That's enough out of you.
32:41They're both by-the-book suits, right?
32:47Well, yeah, Mike, they're feds.
32:48I mean, come on.
32:52Why?
32:54Modern technology has made it possible
32:56to do sophisticated electronic surveillance
32:58with stuff from your local electronics store.
33:01It sounds more fun than it is.
33:03Yeah.
33:27You come for that drink?
33:28Another time.
33:29This has gone far enough.
33:30We want to make a deal.
33:31Good.
33:32Fine.
33:33Bring me the girl, we make a deal.
33:34Just listen to this first.
33:41Who is this?
33:44Uh, yes, Mr. DeSantos.
33:46This is Chuck Finley, attorney for Cara Stagner.
33:49Mr. Finley, I dislike meetings over the telephone.
33:52Perhaps I could meet with your client face to face.
33:54Uh, well, I just want to tell you that Cara Stagner
33:57is not going to be a problem.
33:59Not a problem.
34:01No, you see, this confuses me,
34:02because I know she made a statement to the police.
34:04Yes, uh, and to the feds.
34:07Uh, but, uh, they turned her away.
34:09She thought they would, uh, put her in witness protection.
34:13Well, she doesn't want to die.
34:15And I don't want to go to jail.
34:17So, this is our dilemma.
34:20How can I convince you?
34:22I want a guarantee.
34:24I have to know that she's not going to testify.
34:27And the only way I can know this for sure is...
34:30Let me tell you how we do this in Colombia, eh?
34:32Faking surveillance video has come a long way.
34:35It used to be you'd spend days slaving
34:37over a VHS tape with a razor blade.
34:39Now, it's a few hours in a computer.
34:41I don't want to go to jail.
34:43To testify, I want witness protection.
34:46I want the guarantee.
34:48Do you really think you can hide me?
34:50I've heard legit recordings a hell of a lot worse.
34:53Just add in a little car noise,
34:54it'll sound like a surveillance van across the street.
34:56Have you talked to the feds yet?
34:57No, no, no.
34:58Yeah, they're all over it.
35:00And they're still asking about your little
35:02developing nations escapade.
35:04But when they think I'm going to give them something good,
35:06they buy me lunch.
35:08Anyway, he was looking for someone he used to know,
35:11like an old spy buddy.
35:13I mean, between you and me, I think he's lonely.
35:15You know, I couldn't get much more out of him,
35:17but I think he's about a six-pack away from talking.
35:19So, if you guys are looking for someone he used to know,
35:21like an old spy buddy.
35:23I mean, between you and me, I think he's lonely.
35:25You know, I couldn't get much more out of him,
35:26but I think he's about a six-pack away from talking.
35:27So, if you guys could spring for a little sauce.
35:29We're not buying you beer, Sam.
35:30Hey, hey, you want to catch him or not?
35:32Oh, got a present for you.
35:36That sure doesn't look like what we asked for.
35:38Where's the list of Weston's known associates?
35:40How about the photos?
35:41How about the inventory of what he's got in that apartment?
35:43No, no, no, that's much better.
35:44That's Alvaro DeSantos. Good stuff.
35:46Is he involved with Weston?
35:47No, that's just something I picked up poking around.
35:50Kind of a side project.
35:52How do you want us to deal with it?
35:54Only what you boys are legally bound to.
35:56He'll just take it from me, log it, and pass it upstairs.
35:59It's got to be worth at least a couple of thousand reward money.
36:02Right?
36:03Man, I'm just about ready for dessert.
36:06I suppose I should thank you for not blowing out my tires again.
36:23You know, Gilman, you're a better guy than I thought.
36:25I bet you got your daughter that pony after all.
36:27What the hell are you talking about?
36:29What the hell are you talking about?
36:31Talking your client into flipping on the big boys.
36:34Assault charge gets kicked.
36:35My witness is off the hook.
36:37Win-win.
36:39I get it.
36:40You don't discuss client business.
36:42Just know I appreciate it.
36:44I really do.
36:51That's for trying to kill me.
36:53You go for it, Mike?
36:54Yeah.
36:55He's gonna be on the phone with whatever FBI contacts he's got before his tire goes flat.
37:03My guess is he'll have the tape by lunch.
37:06We'll see how the big boys in Colombia like that.
37:09A drug cartel is a business.
37:11If killing a witness to protect a valued employee from jail time is the best way to keep making money, they'll do that.
37:18If it looks like that employee is testifying to the FBI, though, they're just as happy to leave the witness alone and take care of the problem another way.
37:37I hear you thinking about taking a trip, going out of town.
37:40What?
37:41Who told you that?
37:43I got some friends with the FBI.
37:46FBI.
37:47FBI.
37:53What the?
37:56Oh!
37:57It's, uh, Drew.
37:58No!
38:06Shame.
38:07To let them have all the fun.
38:09I'm just glad it's done.
38:11Do I get to have my keynote?
38:12Do I get to have my keynote?
38:13Do I get to have my keynote?
38:41MICHAEL!
38:42You have people here?
38:48Your mother gave it to me.
38:58She's nice.
39:00She's nice.
39:02I went by your house, and Fiona told me you were here.
39:04I hope that's okay.
39:06That's fine.
39:07Well, we just wanted to say thank you.
39:10In person.
39:12Also, I could pay you.
39:13I just, you know, when I get my check...
39:14Uh, don't worry about it.
39:15Oleg has been more than generous.
39:17But...
39:17No, seriously.
39:21Cool car.
39:23We'll see if it works.
39:26Hey, what do you know?
39:29Your mom said this is your dad's car.
39:33Sounds like he was a pretty cool guy.
39:35Not really.
39:36I left home for a reason.
39:38Well, I'm glad that I didn't have to.
39:56Beloved is a bit of a stretch.
39:59Thanks for the car, Doug.
40:15I think you'd like how it looks.
40:18Meet here?
40:24You want it someplace safe?
40:26It's quiet.
40:27Lots of cover.
40:28Two guys in business suits.
40:29Don't raise any eyebrows.
40:31You should have more meetings outside, Thavitt.
40:32Get some color.
40:34You're always good, Michael.
40:36It's a shame you're out.
40:37I'm gonna get back here.
40:38I've enjoyed our friendship.
40:44But don't call you ever again.
40:46I got it.
40:52Michael.
40:54Be careful.
40:55An alphanumeric tracking code
41:06and a special access program codename.
41:09It's not much,
41:10but it's a start.
