After making the deal to get his friend and his mother released from their prison cells, Michael is once again working for the CIA, this time under his new handler, Agent Andrew Strong (Jack Coleman).

Operating deep undercover in the Dominican Republic, a bearded Michael spends nine months posing as an alcoholic ex-spy, committing the occasional crime to pay the rent in order to attract his target and old friend, Randall Burke (Adrian Pasdar), who is suspected to be the leader of a terrorist network.

He finally succeeds when he pretends to be a child custody specialist to trick Madeline into revealing that Michael is working on a government assignment after making a deal with the CIA to get them all released from prison.

To preserve his cover, Michael floors it through the police checkpoint, leading to the cops shooting them and the car flips over, killing Pablo.

After Fiona is rescued, Strong praises Michael for his plan working and tells him they should get back to the Dominican Republic to finish their mission.

After Jesse comes up with a plan to steal the truck and make a smaller mess, Burke wants them to use a sniper rifle to kill the guards if anything goes wrong.

As Michael and Burke prepare to make a deal with Rafael Serrano, Strong orders Sam and Jesse to go back to Miami.

Burke has Michael bring Sam and Jesse to Cuba to help find a woman named Sonya Lebedenko (Alona Tal) and rescue her from the Russians.

After gaining her trust, they, along with Sam and Jesse work to find a way out of Cuba, but Michael and Sonya become targets of a Russian manhunt, so Sam and Jesse pose as bounty hunters to throw them off the trail, and they all manage to hijack a plane and head back to Miami, where Sonya gets a call and learns that a hacker syndicate group exposed her identity, so they're going to destroy them.

Michael wants to go in posing as a hacker, which isn't the best idea, so they suggest enlisting help from Barry Burkowski (Paul Tei).

As Sam and Jesse help Barry, Michael and Fiona pose as hackers and are hired at "The Collective", giving them the opportunity to head to the roof, repel down and drill a hole through a wall so they could attach a device to hijack the security camera's feed.

Meanwhile, Sam and Jesse pose as detectives and manipulate the employee into planting the thumb drive, containing a virus to destroy them, so the big boss kills them.

While being interrogated by the leader of the terrorist network, Michael is forced to face his inner demons, even hallucinating Larry Sizemore (Tim Matheson), revealing that he blew up a building with people inside to make sure his target was dead.

James tasks Michael with returning to the Dominican Republic to take down Marco Cabral, a drug smuggler who is set to have a comfortable retirement in England after making a deal with the MI6.

Meanwhile, Jesse and Fiona join Strong in Biloxi to find a mental patient (currently known as "John Doe") whose bills James has been paying for quite some time.

As Michael and Sam work together on security detail during Hamed's press conference, Fiona, Jesse, and Snyder were outside looking for potential threats.

James tells Madeline that he will go to extremes to do what's right, so he wants her to let him protect her, so she agrees but promises to shoot him on sight if he ever shows up in her house uninvited again.

Meanwhile, Fiona and Jesse track the server's phone call after the poisoning back to a strip club, whose owner is listed as a chemical engineer from Libya.

Fiona decides to go with him, so they visit his old neighborhood where he learns that Nando, a criminal that he helped put in prison ten years ago, is out and wants him dead.

They then talk to Detective Halloway with the Miami police department who wants them to find a witness who saw Nando commit murder and have him testify.

Michael doesn't see the problem with that but Sam reminds him that the people who ruined his life and got Nate killed thought they were doing good things too.

As Sam and Jesse keep James' men distracted, Fiona runs up to the roof to confront Michael, who warns her that she can't be there.

They then head to a gas station where Sam and Jesse buy beer and new burner phones while Michael and Fiona hotwire a car.

Since there's a $50,000 reward for their capture, they plan to hand them over but Michael recklessly drives into the gas station and saves Sam and Jesse, apparently not caring if he lives or dies.

Michael meets with Jesse who had a buddy track down Max Lyster (Alan Ruck), the man who worked on James' communication center.

The problem is that he's security conscious and lives in a gated community, so Michael decides to track him down but asks Jesse to watch over his mom and Charlie.

Inside, they walk toward the center of the building and notice a line of explosives along the walls; apparently booby traps set to keep intruders out.

As Michael has Sam take the hard drive to the CIA, he and Fiona come out and pretend to surrender, but they engage in a shootout against James and his men.

In a flashback, Michael and Fiona are revealed to be alive as they were able to escape the building after James let go of a dead man's switch, causing it to explode.
