- Mike started the night explaining the difficult of bribery. Fi thought it was a bad idea to meet the man he was meeting unarmed and handing over so much money. It was a bank manager who hid money for the man who tried to kill Mike. Mike reminded Fi that he was warned not to meet her the first time.
"Yeah, I almost blew up your hand with a block of C-4," she said.
"And I made a friend," Mike replied. "Maybe I'll make another. Watch my back."
He met Gustavo, the Cayman Islands bank manager, asking for a little information in exchange for a large amount of money. Gustavo first wanted to know how Mike found him. "I have friends," Mike said.
Mike got suspicious and changed some details of their arrangement to see if Gustavo was really who he said he was. When "Gustavo" started backtracking and talking about a phone call that never happened. "You want to tell me who you are?" Mike asked. The man said, "I can explain," then pulled out a knife and took a swing at Mike.
Mike smacked the guy around pretty good, but then accidentally pushed him over the edge of the short wall in the parking garage where they'd met, and the man fell to his death. The file he was holding with empty papers in it blew away in the wind.
Sam showed up at the loft with a big fish he caught while fishing with his police officer friend, and some info on the real Gustavo, who was found dead at a bar. Mike then started trying to figure out who the man was with the knife.
As he left the loft, Mike met a man named Claude Laurent, who wanted Mike's help. He explained that his daughter was murdered in Haiti several years ago and he wanted to bring the man who killed her to justice. Claude said he could identify the man, Jean-Pierre Duman, who was a former official in Haiti and had his daughter jailed and killed. Mike didn't want anything to do with the case. "They said you were an honorable man," Claude said. "They lied."
At lunch, while they waited for Fi, Sam told Mike he had a friend who worked in Haiti and saw those prisons. "Bad, Mike," Sam said. "They got away with a lot of bad stuff."
Sam wanted Mike to take on the case and said he'd already made some calls and gotten some addresses on the guy. Mike got a call from his mom, who said there'd been a break-in. He went to her house and she told him about a crime spree in the neighborhood. She realized the car wouldn't stat because Mike's dad had, at some point, wired the car stereo to the ignition, and the car stereo had been stolen.
Mike and Sam tracked down Duman at a bar. The goal was to prove Duman was Duman, and not the new identity he was trying to pass in the United States. Mike called Fi and asked her if she wanted to come to a party.
Mike explained that people let their guard down when they heard somebody speaking their native. Fi came into the bar saying some guys were being idiots, but speaking in French. This caught Duman's attention, who told her his name was Luc Renard. He invited her to come party at his house -- a high-security place on Star Island.
Duman was showing Fi around his house and said he had the biggest bathtub in Miami. She wanted to see his office, but he said there was nothing there. Fi told Duman to invite some friends to the tub and he did, while she snooped around his office and planted a bug. Just then, Claude showed up in front of the house, declaring that he knew Duman lived there and he should show himself. Mike was able to slip Claude out of harm's way before he got shot.
Sam told Claude that Mike was an honorable man and was taking the case. Mike said they would get Duman to give them evidence that proved who he was. Then he asked Claude to go home.
Sam told Mike that Duman's family used to work with Flintridge Industries, a multi-national corporation that built all the Haitian prisons. He said the FBI has been nosing around them for years. Mike asked Sam to mend some fences with some old FBI friends (They were once on the "follow Michael Westen around Miami" beat).
Sam found the agents and mocked them for staking out the grandmother of a drug dealer. He told them about the Duman case -- an international fugitive situation -- and said he knew where Duman would be and when. All they needed to do was show up.
Mike met Duman, face to face, in a restaurant and posed as a guy who could help Duman stay in hiding, rather than spook him by presenting himself as someone hunting Duman. Mike told Duman there were FBI agents sitting outside and he said he could help. Mike claimed he worked with Flintridge Industries and was working to wipe the files clean. He told Duman, who kept insisting his name was Luc Renard, that a trail still existed linking the Duman family back to Flintridge Industries. Mike left, pulling Duman close and telling he wasn't the problem, he was the solution.
Sam came over to help Maddie fix her car. Instead, she asked him for a ride to her partner-stretching class. He agreed to give her a ride, then she said she needed a partner, too. Sam was hurting the next day, saying, "This body was not built for the hip-abductor stretch." He had an inflamed bursal sac he had to ice down.
Mike and Sam them heard some voices on the bug in Duman's office. Duman was talking to a man about the FBI following him, then the man told Duman who Claude was and where he was staying. They rushed out to find Claude, because he hadn't left Miami.
Mike confronted Duman and his men at the motel where Claude was staying and told Duman not to kill Claude because of the attention it would garner from the news and the FBI. Duman insisted on moving forward, so Mike pulled a gun and pointed it at him. He told Duman he could wipe away his past so that he'd never have to hide again. "I can change your story," Mike said, before cocking his gun, "or I can end it."
Duman agreed to have Mike meet him at his house the next day.
Mike was upset with Claude about not leaving town. But Claude said he didn't want to fail his daughter again. He said he was a coward before, "but not again." Mike told Claude not to leave, telling him he wouldn't be safe at his motel. He asked him to stay at the loft.
Fi called Mike and let him know she found the smuggler who brought the fake banker with knives into the country. She approached the guy, Gary, who knew who Fiona was. She got Gary to admit he brought the fake Gustavo into the country and dropped him off at a storage unit. She asked where the storage unit was.
Mike showed up at Duman's house and told him the deal. He needed all the files, anything that ties him to the name Jean-Pierre Duman, and he would handle everything. Duman showed Mike some documents identifying him as Duman, but before the deal was done, Duman wanted Mike to meet his father. The man walked out and said he knew Mike didn't work with Flintridge. Mike decided to make a run for it and started dropping hints to Sam, who got the message outside in the car and fired a gunshot into a glass window. Mike ran outside, jumped off the balcony and headed for the car Sam was driving.
Since the documents were likely destroyed and the Dumans knew they were being hunted, Mike decided to get Duman back to Haiti somehow, where people there would be able to identify him. He asked Fi if she could get Duman alone, away from his men. She said yes. Meanwhile, Sam and Mike outfitted a truck that would serve as Duman's transportation.
Fi met Duman at a bar and asked him to go to her hotel room with him. They went to the room and Duman told his men he didn't want to be disturbed. Fi didn't take long to use a high dose of sedative to put Duman to sleep. While his men pounded on the hotel room door, Mike climbed down a rope ladder from the balcony upstairs and dropped Duman off the balcony into the back of the truck.
Mike asked Claude if he would go home now, and Claude said yes. He told Mike that his daughter would have liked him. "She was very brave," Claude said.
"Like her father," Mike replied.
Back at his mom's house, Maddie told Mike she fixed the ignition on the car. She said she found a diagram and put the wires back where they were supposed to be. She also said the burglars were caught. They were teenagers breaking into garages.
Maddie said she thought the reason Mike's father wired the car the way he did was because if he was the only one who knew how to fix it, he might feel useful and like he was a part of the family. She asked Mike if he caught the guy who killed the girl.
"Yeah, I did," Mike said.
Sam met up with his FBI friends again and gave them information on Flintridge, then he ordered some drinks on Uncle Sam.
"Mojito!"
Fi and Mike talked about going to the storage unit and Fi told him she didn't like Mike using himself as bait. Fi wanted to line up a shot to kill the guy if he was waiting for them, but Mike said, "I need him alive."
"I need you alive," Fi said.
They went to the storage unit and after announcing their arrival with a flare gun, found someone who was waiting for Mike. A foot chase ensued, but the guy got away. Not before turning and talking to Mike, taunting him by telling him he needed to work on his cardio.
The man was named Victor and Mike told Fi, "It turns out we've met before."
