- Previously on... Michael started working with Gilroy, a freelance psychopath, who he hoped could get him close to the people who burned him. Michael and Sam discovered there was a flight from Chile through Miami to Poland that Gilroy was interested in.
Partners in Crime: Michael was staking out a Polish military intelligence office with Fi, who preferred that Michael just shoot Gilroy and be done with it. They saw their "easy target," a guy named Conrad, leave the building. Michael planned to present himself as a Russian businessman who needed some info about the flight. The easy target pulled a gun on Michael. Fi managed to whack the guy in the back of the head, saying, "So much for an easy target."
Michael started developing a plan to break in to Conrad's office. Fi wanted Michael to take a different angle on Conrad, and she said she'd help but she needed cash. Michael knew where to get it: a job figuring out who was stealing from a fashion house. Michael took the job.
The fashionista, Isabella, offered them $30,000 to prove her vice president was stealing from her.
Fi sidled up next to Conrad at a bar, pretending to be from the CIA and asking him about the spy who contacted him. She said she had to find out what information "the spy" was seeking. Conrad hesitated at first, but Fi handed him an envelope and he said he'd see what he could do, but wanted information on the "Russian spy." Fi told him she might have a file on him. Fi then called Michael with the good news, and said she would be asking Maddy for some of Michael's old military photos for his "file."
Sam told Michael that the fashion house job wasn't going to be as easy as they'd hoped. Tim, the vice president, didn't turn up any obvious signs of thievery. They'd have to go to a fashion house party, where Michael would watch over the party and Sam would scour Tim's office for clues. Sam got what he needed and Michael eavesdropped enough on Tim to know that he was heading to Isabella's house for a meeting. Tim had been having what seemed to be a heated conversation with Isabella's business partner.
Michael followed Tim to Isabella's house and suggested they all meet inside, but something was amiss. It turned out Isabella had been shot and floating face-down in her swimming pool. Tim's gun was laying next to the pool and it was clear someone was trying to frame him. He and Michael escaped together out the back yard as the police arrived en masse.
Back at the loft, Tim wanted to call the cops and tell them the truth. He told Sam and Mike that Damon, Isabella's business partner, was the one who was stealing. Tim said that Damon told him to go to Isabella's house. Michael said that whoever killed Isabella did their homework.
Michael sought to put pressure on Damon by pretending to be Isabella's other business partner, who was based in L.A. and starched heroin into her fabrics, pulling in $4 million a year. He told Damon that if the murder investigation turned into a federal drug case, the cops would have another murder to investigate -- Damon's. Sam was set to follow Damon.
Fi went over to Maddy's to ask for the old photos.
Sam was staking out Damon, who was talking to his partner Ric about this new guy (Michael). Damon was getting stressed. Sam snapped some photos while Michael went around to the back of the building to set up a bugging device from outside. When some speakers created feedback in the bugging device, Ric got suspicious and looked around to see who was there. Sam warned Michael that Ric was coming out the back and Michael quickly made it up to a balcony. A moving truck conveniently rolled by and Michael jumped onto its roof to get away.
Sam came to the loft and told Michael that the cops were finding mounting evidence that was planted against Tim, including a half a box of cartridges at his house that were the same caliber as the ones that killed Isabella. Sam handed Michael Ric's file. Michael said he needed them to break the law again.
Sam went to Isabella's house posing as a crime scene investigator. He said that there was a new theory of the drime, that maybe there were "two guys working together." Sam then broke out his best David Caruso impression as he said, "Looks like murder," pausing for effect as he put on his sunglasses, "is in style this season."
Michael called Damon, posing as Max (the other business partner), wanting to know why the cops were back at the fashion house. Michael then met with Damon and took him to his car, where he had Fi in the trunk pretending to be Tim's kidnapped girlfriend. She had a whole story about Tim being smuggled to the Bahamas. Tim was also going to call the cops on some designer who killed Isabella. Michael essentially got Damon to confess to the murder, as Damon tried to assure him there was no evidence that pointed back to him. He called it "the perfect crime."
Damon said he could make it look like Tim died trying to flee the country and the cops would close the case. Michael told him to do that -- to "put two in the back of his head" and make it look like a robbery.
Fi met with Conrad and handed him Michael's "file." She asked him for the flight information, which Conrad said was locked in a steel safe with guards posted night and day. Fi told Conrad that one of his co-workers was a mole working for the Russians. Conrad vowed to find the file before the mole did.
Michael told Tim about the plan to have Damon and his partner try to kill him. They told him where to be on the docks while Damon and his partner tried to kill him, but assured him the cops would be on their way. He'd be arrested at the same time, but it would give him the chance to tell his story, and the cops would also find his gun in Damon's car.
When Tim got to the docks everything was in place, until it became clear that Damon and Ric weren't going to shoot Tim. They had planted a bomb and were going to detonate it from a distance. Michael, who was on over-watch with a sniper rifle, shot the bomb, causing it to explode before it was a serious danger to Tim. As the cops arrived, Tim got up and ran away, but was cornered and arrested. Damon and Ric, meanwhile, drove away.
Michael said it wasn't over. He called Damon and told him to meet him at his office. Sam paid another visit as a crime scene investigator, using the opportunity to roll out another Caruso impression, complete with the fashion reference, saying, "It looks like our killer's plan," pausing for effect as he put on his sunglasses, "is coming apart at the seams."
Michael told Damon that he should have put two in the back of Tim's head. Michael acted like he was going to kill Damon. Damon's last-ditch idea was to kill Ric and make it look like he killed himself.
Fi put together the gun that they would give Damon to kill Ric. She weakened the trigger assembly so it would break under pressure, ensuring no one would get hurt when Damon tried to kill Ric.
Damon went to a store where Ric was working, and Sam called the cops. Damon pulled out the gun, it jammed and Ric proceeded to beat him up. The cops arrived and grabbed them both while Damon shouted, "He shot my friend."
Tim was free and clear and said the fashion house would be sold to a company in Milan, and the proceeds were being donated to a pet rescue organization that Isabella supported.
Fi called Michael to tell him that Conrad would be bringing the flight information.
Michael had to explain to his mom why some of his military photos were missing from the albums that Fi had borrowed.
Fi met with Conrad, who said the flight information was much worse than he thought. It wasn't a matter of "what," but "who" was on the flight. He said it was a maximum security prisoner and the document held instructions for how to deal with him. Fi promised him that the Russian spy would never get his hands on the envelope.
They realized whoever was on the flight was a "world-class bad guy," and Michael worried that someone wanted his help to break him out.
