- We started the night with the gang waiting for Jesse, the spy Michael burned and the newest member of their merry gang. Jesse came with big information about working with the defense department on some bombings and such that seemed to contain a pattern. That's why he came to Miami, where weapons were coming through the port from Algeria. He said he wanted to find a guy who he nicknamed "Cobra" because of the hissing quality of his voice. He'd made contact with a guy who was part of the operation and told him he wanted to ship some guns. He'd only talked to the guy on the phone. They headed to the docks.
Jesse wasn't able to get a intel from the dock workers, but he did get himself involved in a little spat between some mob guys and a security guard who was getting shaken down and beaten up. The security guard, Hank, needed some help dealing with the mobsters. Jesse takes care of one of the mob guys and takes his gun. Michael and Fi watched this happen. Once again, Fi stated "I like this guy." (Does Michael realize he has competition now?) Michael agreed to see what they were up against.
Sam found the bar where the mobsters hung out. They saw Tony, the mob boss nicknamed "Mr. Clean" because he'd been accused of murder seven times and was never convicted. Michael thought they had to put some dirt on him.
Maddy got to know Jesse, and questioned him about what he did for a living. Michael told Jesse he needed to get ears on the mob guys to make them think the feds were aware of their dock operation. Jesse couldn't be involved because they'd already seen his face. Sam gave Michael an FBI persona named Ned.
Michael got a meeting with Tony, the boss, and asked how much some potential information he might have would be worth.
As they frisked him, a bug was dropped out of Michael's pocket and kicked under Tony's seat.
Tony agreed to meet him somewhere else later, and told him never to come back to the bar again.
Michael went to the meeting and a couple of Tony's guys showed up without Tony, saying they knew Michael wasn't the agent he said he was. They beat him up until he talked. Then he beat them both up and walked away.
Sam picked up on Tony's bug that Tony's contact in the FBI said Michael was a fake. But Sam found another route. A guy named Gio came down from New York to squeeze Tony for some money. Tony was $15,000 light on his income for the organization and Gio wasn't happy about it. Michael and Sam saw it as a chance to catch Tony in a desperate enough situation to make a mistake.
"Looks like he's going to have to meet Chuck Finley," Sam said.
Jesse met with Hank, who believed that Jesse, Michael, Sam and Fi were part of an undercover government security team, and got the manifests from every ship from Algeria in the last three months. Maddy got Jesse to open up about his mother, who died when he was 9. She was killed by a robber in a parking lot.
That night, Sam and Jesse pulled off a kidnapping of Tony in the men's room at a club, and Sam set off to scare Tony into doing something illegal. Sam pretended to have been sent by the family to kill Tony, but Tony begged for a chance to pay Sam off and told him about a big shipment coming into the docks where they could clear $5 million, easy. He told Sam he'd cut him in for $1 million, but Sam suggested to Tony that he couldn't get his crew involved because they work for Gio.
Jesse was able to track some of the weapons shipments from the docks to the airport, but still had to figure out what happened next. Meanwhile, Sam called and said Tony was working on getting his crew involved in the $5 million score at the docks. Michael and Sam realized they had to do something to convince Tony he couldn't trust his crew.
Fi planted an explosive under Tony's car, making it mostly obvious to him so he could hear it, and then see it. As he ran away from the device, she set it off. Tony went straight to Sam, confirming that he couldn't trust his own guys. He asked Sam to put together a crew to pull off the dock job.
As they agreed on a strategy, Sam told Tony, "I'm really glad I didn't cut you into a million pieces. Don't make me regret my decision, huh?"
Michael and Fi explained the plan to Hank, but he didn't seem comfortable. Jesse was going to serve as Sam's right-hand man. When Sam, Jesse and Tony got to the dock, Tony didn't want to do the dirty work and go inside the secured area. Jesse told Sam to share with Tony the story of how he saved his friend back when they were in the Navy Seals -- the moral of the story was "no man left behind." Sam told Tony the story and Tony agreed to go in, but Sam was upset with Jesse for pimping out his personal story to a bad guy.
Back at Maddy's, Jesse finally told her the story of how he'd been a spy and was fired and Michael saved him. He told her Michael was "a good man," as Maddie began to figure out her son's role in Jesse's misfortunes.
Michael and Jesse headed to a hangar to check out a plane that was used to transport some weapons. They found some blood in the landing gear and figured a body had been dumped somewhere over the place where the landing gear was last deployed.
At the dock, Sam, Fi and Jesse worked with Tony to break through the electric fence securing the cargo. They got in and Tony drove the truck with $5 million worth of microprocessors away as Sam pretended to have been apprehended by Hank, the security guard. Tony was supposed to head away from the docks where the cops were going to catch him, but he had second thoughts -- inspired by Sam's story of leaving no man behind. Tony came back and grabbed Sam, and they ran away.
Tony still wanted to team with Sam to "make a move." He wanted Sam's help to take out Gio. He told Sam that Gio and his crew go to the track every Friday. "All we need is muscle and guns," he said.
Jesse suggested they let Tony go through with his plan, but they had to put together "an army" first. They placed an online ad for private security guards and got a bunch of muscle heads in blazers to sign up. All they had to do was drive SUVs. The crew set up a face to face showdown in which Tony confronted Gio and told him he was going to take over Miami. And just as Tony called for his backup, Sam and everyone else drove away, leaving Tony to shoot for his life against Gio and his men.
In the end, Tony killed Gio and was in the hospital recovering from his injuries, awaiting murder charges.
There were 11 arrests on the docks right away and Hank asked Jesse what he should say about the "undercover security team" that cleaned up the place. Jesse told Hank not to say anything, noting, "some stories you don't tell."
Later, Sam brought some information on the cargo plane. It last landed in the Bahamas, where a John Doe washed up on shore the same day. They decided to go check it out, and Fi was going to get Jesse into the cargo bay of a cigarette boat.
That afternoon, Maddy was waiting for Michael at the loft. She figured out that Michael had something to do with Jesse losing his job. She said she knew he did "this kind of stuff, but seeing it up close and personal like this is just...."
She was upset with Michael for lying to Jesse.
"Take it from me, lies get out," she told him. "Thirty years with your father taught me that."
