TV-Serie: Burn Notice - 4x5
My name is Michael Westen.
I used to be a spy until...
[ Cellphone rings ] Man: We got a burn notice on you.
You're blacklisted.
When you're burned, you've got nothing -- no cash, no credit, no job history.
You're stuck in whatever city they decide to dump you in.
Where am I?
Miami.
You do whatever work comes your way.
You rely on anyone who's still talking to you.
A trigger-happy ex-girlfriend...
Should we shoot them?
...An old friend who used to inform on you to the FBI...
You know spies -- a bunch of bitchy little girls.
...Family, too...
Hey, is that your mom again?
...If you're desperate.
Someone needs your help, Michael.
Bottom line -- as long as you're burned, you're not going anywhere.
Previously on "Burn Notice"...
Blood.
Looks like somebody was dumping a body.
That would explain why he disappeared.
The dead body belongs to Jeremiah Kassar.
I hate to sound paranoid, but we had break-ins around here recently.
She kills Kassar, Then sits on the place next door.
to see if anyone comes knocking.
We just blew our chance to end this thing.
I don't know, Jesse.
I think we're just getting started.
Spies are used to battling cutting-edge encryption and billion-dollar security.
But sometimes the toughest challenge is cracking something old and out of date.
If you find yourself up against an obsolete tape drive loaded with arcane software, you can either find yourself a time machine...
Or admit defeat.
14 phone calls, 7 data-recovery experts, and three hours of arm-twisting to even access this drive, and it's unreadable!
I know it's a little frustrating -- "frustrating"?
Oh, it's more than frustrating, Michael.
We're trying to track down the people that let a psychopath stick explosives in a Miami hotel!
We have nothing.
I wouldn't say it's nothing.
Look -- no, no!
Not in the trash!
The owner of this killed our best lead, which makes her someone we should talk to.
Ah.
The elusive Kendra.
You think she's just gonna give you a call?
Invite you to brunch?
Spies always assume they're being followed.
It could mean nothing that a route is blocked, forcing everyone to leave the building through one exit.
But when that exit is in view of a driver who's been sitting in a parked car since you walked in, that starts to mean something.
Good news.
I think Kendra just found us.
Gray San.
Right behind you.
You think she's been sitting on this place?
She probably figured we'd have to bring the tape drive here at some point.
Which we did.
Still think this is a dead end?
It is if she kills us.
Aw, thanks, dear.
[ Cellphone rings ] [ Cellphone beeps ] Hey, Mike.
How's "Operation: Boring Tape-Drive"?
Just got more interesting.
Kendra's surveilling us.
Oh, everybody's favorite murderer makes a special appearance.
You need help losing her?
No, we need help grabbing her, tossing her into a storage container, getting some answers.
How quick can you get over to the design district?
About a half an hour, maybe less.
You want to run her through foot traffic?
Yeah.
Let's get her walking.
You play lookout.
There's an alley behind the dress stores.
We can grab her there.
Okay.
Game on.
See you in 30.
[ Cellphone beeps ] [ Groans ] That sound good to you?
All I heard was "dress stores."
You know, if I'm gonna spend the afternoon playing bait, I think you should buy me the nicest thing I see.
Being hunted isn't always a bad thing.
When someone's on your tail, you can pick the route.
And if you're really good, you can lead them into a trap of your own.
[ Cellphone rings ] Yeah.
(Sam) Well, there's no sign of Kendra, unless she's disguised as a fat tourist.
Well, keep your eyes open.
She's slick.
Well, that could be our girl.
Okay, Mikey, pick up the pace.
Yep.
She's tailing you with reflections.
The girl's got some moves.
Wonder where she got her training.
Not sure, but there's something about her that bugs me.
Okay, your alley's coming up.
I left a taser for you underneath a crate.
I'll bring up the rear.
Okay, Mikey.
All yours, any second now.
Where is she?
[ Hinges creak ] [ Grate slams ] [ Cellphone ringing ] You dropped your phone.
Oh, did I?
Seems like I'm always losing things.
Who are you?
I could ask you the same question.
It's "Kendra," right?
That's as good a name as any.
Why are you after me?
And here I was, thinking it was the other way around.
Why don't you come back down so we can have a nice, little chat?
A little chat with the guy who tried to grab me in an alley?
A couple days ago, you tried to kill me.
Touché.
Look, I'm willing to forgive and forget, but sooner or later, you'll want to meet up.
I have something that you want.
Mm, someone's cocky.
I like that.
I hope you're ready to have some fun.
Burn Notice 4x05 Neighborhood Watch Original Air Date on July 1, 2010 -- Sync, corrected by elderman -- -- for www.addic7ed.com -- So now Kendra knows you're after her?
She knew that before.
And now we know that she's after us, which is an opportunity.
Yeah, it's an opportunity for one of us to end up dead.
She's probably tracking us with that phone.
Right.
Because I'm an amateur.
I forwarded the phone to this burner.
Kendra's gonna want her tape drive back.
I'm gonna offer to let her buy it back from me.
So you're baiting a killer?
You don't have to be counter-Intel to see the risk in that.
It's the best way to get her close to us.
And when she's close, I grab her.
Trust me.
I've done this before.
Mm-hmm.
And how are you still alive?
[ Door opens ] Michael!
Jesse said you'd be dropping by.
Good timing.
You can meet a friend of mine.
Actually, I'm a little busy.
Okay.
I'll tell her not to worry about the drug dealers.
This woman's in the middle of a serious situation, Mike.
You're in on this?
Why do you think I asked you to come over here?
I expect this from her.
Lauren was my favorite doctor before she moved to Homestead.
Her boyfriend's kind of a community leader down there.
David started the clinic last year.
I volunteer down there.
This town's been hit hard with the economy.
My mom mentioned something about drug dealers.
Yeah.
A couple months ago, these drug dealers showed up in town, started selling heroin right outside our front door.
Can you believe that?
They're slinging dope right by the clinic, man.
Did you call the cops?
David called them a few times.
The police show up, they arrest a drug dealer or two, but half an hour later, there's another dealer in the same spot.
Yeah, it gets worse, too.
Yesterday, David was walking to his car.
These guys attacked him.
They beat him up.
They said they knew he called the cops.
They told him to get out of town.
But of course David's not going to do that.
I'm scared they're gonna kill him.
[ Sighs ] I'm not even sure what I'm asking here, but, um...
He'll see what he can do, Hmm?
Hey, Lauren.
Hi.
Thank you for coming.
Please, come on back.
I'm sorry it's so hectic here.
The other clinic closed two weeks ago.
Now it's...
Just us.
David, these are the people we were talking about.
No.
Please, Lauren.
I'm busy. "
Hello" to you too.
I'm Michael.
This is Jesse.
This is Fiona.
I appreciate you stopping by.
But Lauren's told me all about you, and working outside the law will only make matters worse.
Now, there's only one move here, and that's to keep calling the cops until the dealers go away.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that why they want you dead?
Yes, it is.
And trust me, I'm not trying to be a hero here, but those thugs are selling heroin all over the neighborhood.
And someone has to stand up to them, and if people around here are too afraid to call the cops themselves -- look, David, I know you think you're doing the right thing.
But having the cops drag away a few street-level dealers isn't gonna solve your problem.
All you're doing is hurting their bottom line by a couple percent.
They tried to reason with you.
Next time, it'll be worse.
Well, I won't be intimidated.
I've dealt with people like this before.
I've set up clinics in Brazilian favelas, villages in Uganda -- and usually Miami is a little safer, but in this case...You're gonna get yourself killed.
[ Scoffs ] I hope you're not paying them for this pep talk.
David, please listen to them.
They're here to solve our problem.
So, what?
You just...Snap your fingers and the dealers disappear?
Well, it's worked before.
We'll figure out something.
The point is, we'll deal with them from the outside so they don't retaliate against you or the clinic.
All right.
Fine.
[ Sarcastically ] He seemed to really like us.
Hey, the guy's standing up for his community.
It's pretty inspiring.
There's a fine line between inspiring and suicidal.
(Fiona) I saw we hit them hard, send a message.
Guys, we don't even know who we're dealing with.
Let's figure out who these guys are working with.
Fine.
[ cellphone rings ] Just promise there will be some hitting involved at some point.
Kendra.
Nice to hear from you.
First ring?
I hope you didn't stay up all night waiting for my call.
The anticipation was killing me.
Imagine how special it'll be when we meet face to face.
Well, I'd love to meet up, as long as you're bringing me a gift.
I don't know about a gift, but the tape drive will cost you 50 grand.
There you go -- killing the mood.
Well, I'll make it up to you.
Brickell Plaza, tomorrow at 4:00.
Don't be late.
Someone's getting a little too flirty for his own good.
Fi, I'm trying to snatch Kendra off the street and tie her to a chair.
You are not helping your cause.
This is just a harmless game of cat and mouse between me and a professional killer!
[ Sighs ] I should scout Brickell Plaza.
Think you guys can climb the dope-dealing food chain?
Yeah, yeah, we'll get Sam out here, find another corner those dealers are working, figure out who's running the show.
Give me a ride home first?
Take the bus, Romeo.
It's a dangerous neighborhood.
These guys are pros, Fi.
See, nobody ever touches the drugs and the money at the same time.
If we were cops, we would basically have about nothing on them.
Reason number 337 I'm glad I'm not a cop.
Sleazebag number one is doing his count.
You think the runner's on his way?
Let's hope.
As much as I like watching a liquor store parking lot...
[ Cellphone dials, rings ] [ Cellphone rings, beeps ] We doing this or what, people?
I'm the impatient one around here.
It's looking like the money's on its way.
Well, it sounds like they need a new customer.
If you've ever accidentally set off an alarm at a clothing store, you know how radio-frequency tags work.
Spies use lightweight rfid trackers, too.
But instead of catching shoplifters, they're able to tail their targets more effectively.
Whatcha want?
Need five dimes.
Oh, it's 60 bucks.
[ Tracker beeping ] Bounce radio waves off an rfid tracker with a modified digital depth finder, and you can keep tabs on whatever you like without having to get too close.
Then it's just a matter of waiting for it to move.
[ Tracker beeping ] That's our runner.
And this is where the money goes.
[ Tracker beeps ] Well, you don't have to be an expert in body language to see that he's the one calling the shots.
Running his operation out of a strip club.
Classy.
Still, I should probably follow him in there, Fi.
This surveillance could take a while.
Well, you know, there is a quicker way to get a handle on his operation.
Michael's old neighbor.
Sugar?
Really?
He owes us a favor.
And he obviously knows the drug scene.
I really don't like hanging out with that guy.
Well, I'm calling him.
You're the one who volunteered for inside surveillance.
[ Scoffs ] Whatcha looking for, Sammy?
Jack-and-Jills, Tachas?
No drugs, Sugar.
We just want your expertise.
Yokn any big dope dealers in Homestead?
Nah, it's small-time down this way.
Ain't no real ballers South of 142nd.
Yeah?
There might be one now.
Oh, no, man.
What kind of malfeasance you got me mixed up in here?
That dude's psychotic.
He gives dealers a bad name.
Sounds like you know him.
Vince Cutler.
Everybody in the game knows him.
He came down from the Bronx, and now he's spreading through Dade County like the plague.
A couple years back, in Hialeah, he shot my friend Carl.
He'd have shot me too, but I swore I'd stay out of his business forever.
And now I'm hanging in his strip joint.
Thanks, Sammy.
This is suicide.
This is a public place, Sugar.
You're okay.
You don't get it.
He's been cozying up to some Mexican cartels.
They fronted him a huge stash.
Now he's got to pay them back.
Ain't nobody scarier than somebody trying to move up -- Wait, wait.
Wait a second.
How do you know that, about his stash?
Everybody knows, man.
He's a heavy hitter.
You need more reasons why we got to get the hell up out of here?
Wait, Sugar.
Wait, wait.
Hang on.
Wait a second.
[ Glass shatters ] Working in the field often demands making tough decisions.
(Cutler) Yo, grab him.
Is that Sugar?
But if you have to choose between letting someone get killed or getting beat up as a distraction...
Oh!
Yo!
[ Slurred ] "Yo," yourself!
Hey, you owe me a drink!
Move out of my way.
I'll move out of your way when you buy me another drink.
Oh!
Hey!
I didn't ask for a lap dance!
You should thank me for letting you walk out of here.
Okay.
Thank you.
...You pick the bruised ribs...
[ Grunts ] Every time.
Right.
Yeah.
Hey.
Point taken.
Nothing distracts someone like rage, although getting someone really angry can be risky.
Man, you should have left when you had the chance!
[ Glass shatters ] Aah!
Yeah, you want some?
Thought I'd introduce myself to the head honcho.
Oh, and how'd that go?
Worst surveillance ever.
This is insane!
I can't let you turn this place into a fortress!
Sorry, David -- from now on, everyone comes and goes through the front door so we can keep an eye on things.
Is that -- no, please do not bring a gun in here.
I thought you were just gonna tell the dealers to go away.
We're not gonna get rid of them that easily.
This guy, Cutler, has to pay back his supplier.
They need to run the corners 24/7.
So they'll never leave?
Not without a good reason.
But we'll give them a good reason.
They took a huge amount of heroin from the cartel.
They need to sell it to pay off the debt.
So we need to find his supply, take it, and he'll be running from some very angry Mexicans.
So you're gonna steal his drugs?
Well, that sounds even crazier than calling the police.
David, think of it this way.
The police are kind of like this bandage here.
They mostly just cover up the problem.
We're more like...
This.
So how do you plan to find where this guy hides his drugs?
We're gonna give him something else to hide.
And what do you have that a drug dealer needs to hide?
We need some Fentanyl.
Do you know any veterinarians?
I'm not sure if my head is throbbing from the cut or the prospect of spending more time with Sugar.
You'll know soon.
[ Singsong voice ] He's here.
Hey, what up, boys?
I'm on the team, bro.
We're going after Cutler's stash.
We need a little more help.
Cutler?
Hey, was I, like, not clear before?
Because I think I remember saying something about staying away from that dude before Sammy here got wrecked.
I wouldn't consider this "wrecked," and stop calling me "Sammy."
I'm just saying, I'm with you guys.
I owe you.
My word is bond...
Except for this time.
Relax, Sugar.
You're not getting anywhere near Cutler again.
Thank you.
Now, if there's anything else I can do for you guys -- I just need you to make a few phone calls.
Call your buddies up north and tell them to remember working with me.
I got to vouch for you?
How about instead I get you guys some fine-ass Cuban cigars?
You guys like Cubans?
Okay.
I'll make some calls.
Spies spend so much time thinking through operations from every angle that occasionally they get too clever for their own good.
Sometimes, you're better off keeping things simple.
If a drug dealer is looking to get rich, there's no better approach than offering him a great deal on drugs.
Vince.
Vince Cutler.
Kyle Barkley.
I heard you'll be running this town soon.
I figured I would speed up the clock and get to say I knew you when.
I got no idea who you think I am.
I'm just here to watch the girls, not trying to make friends.
I got enough friends.
I'm here to talk business.
Hold on -- I could be sitting anywhere in the world right now.
But I'm sitting here next to you.
Do you know why?
'Cause you and I, we have a lot in common.
We're a perfect fit.
Just gonna hit you with one word -- one word -- Fentanyl.
You spikin' your punch with it?
This is neither the time nor the place -- don't answer.
I already know you're not.
You'd have a nicer watch.
Hol-- hey, hold on.
Hold on.
You want to live in the '90s, be my guest.
Wait.
If you want to deal your junk, you want to chase some tail, you want to enjoy the small time, I'll find somebody else to make rich.
But if you want to make your stuff 10 times stronger with my synthetic painkiller, you won't find a better product for a better price.
[ Laughs ] All right.
So, what?
You, uh...
You in wholesale?
Yeah, I was shipping pharmaceutical-grade Fentanyl to D.C.
Dealer up there -- his junk's so strong, he could barely pocket all the cash.
Mm.
Fool got shot at a dogfight.
Now, all of a sudden, I'm a supplier without a demander.
Yeah, well, I can be demanding.
Okay, then.
Okay.
Show me your stuff.
I check its purity.
I show you how to lace it.
But I don't work with walk-ins from out of nowhere.
Well, of course I'm a walk-in.
We haven't -- we don't know each other.
Let me get your digits.
Let's swap.
Go.
[ Chuckles ] Yeah, you got a cute, little song and dance.
But just 'cause you shake your stuff in my face don't mean I'm gonna pull out my wallet.
I'll tell you what -- you do your thing, you find out who I am...
And you call me.
Hit me on the hip when you want to move to the champagne room.
[ Cellphone rings ] [ Cellphone beeps ] (Sam) Cutler like your pitch?
Just enough to call Sugar's contacts in D.C.
It'll give us a little time to focus on this Kendra business.
Speaking of -- love the new look.
Ah, thanks.
It's my assassin-snatching costume.
So, Mike, uh, you really think Kendra's coming here to make a deal?
50 grand is 50 grand, and bullets are cheap.
She won't kill me until she knows I'm holding her tape drive.
And she won't get the chance before Sammy the mall cop picks her up for shoplifting.
If she resists, zap her.
I'm betting she's gonna resist.
[ Cellphone beeps ] [ Cellphone rings ] [ Cellphone beeps ] Kendra.
You're late.
I'm watching you right now.
I thought this was gonna be a face-to-face.
Why don't you come down here?
The smoothies are great.
No, thanks.
I don't get within kissing distance until I really trust someone.
All right.
How about this?
I'll leave the tape drive here.
You leave my money there.
I'll take the stairs, you take the escalator, we both head home happy.
No.
I don't like meeting-places that you select and scout.
Who knows what little traps you've set?
Oh, Kendra, just when we were getting to know each other.
I'll call you later to set up another meet.
And next time...
I pick the place.
[ Cellphone beeps ] [ Cellphone rings ] [ Cellphone beeps ] Yeah, Sam?
Sorry, man.
She slipped away.
She's playing hard-to-get.
We'll grab her next time.
There's gonna be a next time?
Oh, goody.
Hey, some kids just stole some DVDs from my store.
Yeah?
That's a shame.
Good luck with that.
[ Door opens ] Mom?
What are you -- I just talked to Lauren.
She said that y-you and Fiona are bringing guns into the clinic!
It was that, or shut it down for a while.
And David wouldn't agree to have it shut down.
The community needs that clinic, Michael.
The whole point is to keep it open.
No, the whole point is to make sure it doesn't turn into a morgue.
Fine, maybe we should have just bought them two bus tickets.
I'm not the one running them out of town.
Please do not smoke in here.
[ Exhales ] Lauren is my friend.
I wanted you to help them.
And now they're more scared a-a-and upset than ever.
Not to mention the fact that David pretty much hates you.
I can't care about that right now, and it doesn't change anything.
I'm fighting for him, whether he likes it or not.
[ Cellphone rings ] Now, just tell Lauren to tell him I'm one of the good guys.
Mr.
Cutler.
Good to hear from you.
Had words with your friends up north.
Let's see if your product's as good as they say it is.
Well, the next time somebody complains about my drugs...
Will be the first.
Now, where is your place?
I got somewhere better to meet.
There's a spot on the edge of town.
[ Door closes ] Take the Redland exit.
Mass quantities of illegal drugs can be hard to get your hands on, but it's even harder to come by drugs regulated by the government -- manufactured, distributed, and sold under lock and key.
Even drug dealers recognize their value.
It's Mr.
Song and Dance.
Oh, please.
My father's Mr.
Song and Dance.
Kyle.
Call me Kyle.
You got a racetrack hook-up or something?
Something.
What you got there is pure, regulated, pharmaceutical-grade.
Somebody's got to give the junkies what they love, right?
Am I right?
Now, there's a pretty spot that you've picked.
We should probably get moving.
I'll show you how to cut this into your smack.
Nah.
My guys will figure that out.
Oh, what are you gonna do?
You gonna reinvent the wheel?
I hope you enjoy wasting five "K" of the product playing "amateur chemist."
I guess my privacy's worth five "K."
Your stuff better pan out, or, uh...
Gun.
Right.
Let's do lunch.
Talk soon.
Get that over to the stash house.
[ Engine revving ] I don't think they've spotted me.
Sure not doing anything to lose me.
Beginning to think these drug dealers aren't too bright.
Or they know something we don't.
Don't stress, Westen.
I got this.
All right, we must be getting close now.
It's turned into a residential neighborhood West of Seventh.
Give them some space, Jesse.
Trust me.
I've done this before.
[ Tires screech ] Damn it.
I just got cut off.
Trapped.
The S.U.V.
got away.
Don't worry about the S.U.V.
Get out of there now.
Cops use checkpoints to catch drunk drivers.
Drug dealers use them to catch people who don't belong in their neighborhood.
(Man) Yo, you know this dude?
(Man #2) No.
Who the hell are you?
Um, I'm taking a shortcut to my girlfriend's place.
Is that so?
Yeah.
Is this Seventh Street or Seventh Avenue?
Get out of the car.
Now.
Hey, man.
Look, can I ask you something?
[ Mumbles indistinctly ] What did you say?
I said, "why do you want to lose your teeth?"
Making a getaway is often more about precise handling than raw horsepower.
So in a hostile situation, rear-wheel drive is a nice advantage.
[ Tires screech ] That said, it doesn't hurt to have over 300 horsepower at your fingertips.
When did this happen?
Late last night.
After David and I locked up, they fired into the clinic.
They tossed this in.
(David) Some people from the neighborhood are starting to get scared off.
I told them not to give up, that I'll organize a meeting -- people in the neighborhood have the right idea.
We need to board this place up, close it down, at least -- no, no.
I-I don't think you get it.
Look.
Mr.
Heyneker -- he comes in for heart monitoring.
Mrs.
Rodriguez -- she needs her physical therapy every day.
We'll figure something out.
I thought you had a plan!
You said you were gonna find Cutler's drugs!
We're close -- we found the neighborhood where he keeps his drugs, just not the house.
And until we close up his business, it's not safe here.
Well, all I can say is, work faster.
Because I'm not closing this place!
David!
Let go of me!
You can thank me later.
It's just a few nights, David.
You know, it might not seem like we're helping you -- you kidnapped me!
We're keeping you alive.
Now, if anybody needs medical help -- this isn't about just providing medical help.
People count on that place.
I-it's practically a Community Center.
Parents let their kids hang out in the waiting room after school because they know it's safe.
Well, it's not safe now.
You're putting people in danger.
Please.
There's iced tea in the fridge!
[ Door closes ] Unless you want a permanent roommate, we better hurry up and find Cutler's stash house.
You really think this'll work, huh?
Beats getting shot at.
Aerial recon is invaluable in modern warfare if you need to scope out a place that's too dangerous to visit on foot.
Using a homemade drone is almost as good as rerouting a spy satellite.
Outfit a remote-controlled plane with an infrared camera, and you can get a good look at your target from above.
Install an engine-cut-off switch, and no one will even hear you coming.
[ Engine whirring ] Sam, I think the camera's too heavy.
Uh, or maybe you're just not a natural at everything, Mikey.
Let me show you how to do it.
Come on.
Here we go.
Wait.
Here we go.
Wait.
See, you got to hold -- w-wait a second.
There.
Whoa, where you going?
Where you going?
Well, you're worse than I am.
Well, it's a little windy.
Well...
What do you expect?
Ease off the throttle.
You think you can do better, kid?
Yeah!
We should enlist that kid in the Air Force.
Age limits be damned.
Why are some of these pictures...Just of the sky?
Oh, he was showing off.
He was doing some loop-the-loops.
He's kind of a smug, little brat.
How about this one?
Check out this cluster of guys.
I'm betting that's the stash house.
Perfect.
We'll pay them a visit bright and early, first thing.
Sam, you think you can get your hands on a delivery truck?
Well, I've run down Interpol files, fabricated fake I.D.s, hacked into phone records.
[ Cellphone ringing ] Yeah, I think I can get my hands on a delivery truck.
[ Cellphone beeps ] Kendra.
I've missed you.
(Kendra) How sweet.
You free tomorrow afternoon?
Sure.
Well, the weather's been so nice lately, I was thinking we could do something outdoors.
Why do I get the feeling that this is going to be a sticking point?
Bring my tape drive to the old dock at the Sunrise Bay Marina, 4:00 pm.
And all kidding aside, come alone, unarmed, or I'll be looking for a place to hide your corpse.
Delightful.
[ Cellphone beeps ] We got one more shot at Kendra, but you won't like her conditions.
I don't like that there are conditions, period.
I wish our phone conversations were as flirty.
She threatened to kill me.
I can do that.
Why don't we give David the good news instead?
Can't let you do it.
Let me go now!
Do not go anywhere, all right?
Lis-- David, listen to me.
Get your hands off me!
Michael, I tried to call you.
Do something!
(Michael) What's going on?
He's trying to slip out the back.
We talked about this, David.
They're going after the clinic.
(Fiona) Cutler?
Yes.
What's happening?
There's this patient -- a local kid.
He's epileptic.
He needed his neurontonin, so Lauren had to sneak in.
Now, I told her to be careful, but one of the drug dealers saw her.
Where is she now?
Oh, she's safe.
But one of my neighbors called me.
Cutler and his guys are telling people that they're hitting the clinic to send us a message.
Michael, you should call the police.
Lauren already did.
But a patrol car driving by every 20 minutes isn't gonna stop Cutler.
You don't let him out of your sight.
We're going to the clinic.
No!
I'll go with you!
David.
No.
Let him take care of it, all right?
[ Sighs ] Did you people not get the message?!
'Cause I told my boys to send you a message!
It should have been relayed to you!
You're closed down!
The clinic's closed!
Someone's off his meds.
This is my town!
You understand me?!
Where are the cops?
Maybe they're tired of answering David's calls.
No one gets in my way!
We have sniper rifles.
Let's stop them.
You snitch!
You're gonna pay the consequences!
If we intervene, he'll know something's up.
Our best chance is -- no one goes against me!
Never mind.
Let's clarify that point for these mother-- [ glass shatters ] [ Man screaming ] [ Gunfire ] What the hell?!
Where's it coming from?!
Let's just get out of here!
[ Tires screech ] I know you keep them from burning the place down.
And I appreciate it.
I do.
But you can't guard it around the clock.
Maybe we can just -- David, we don't need a new plan.
In a couple of days, you'll be fixing up the clinic -- why?
So Cutler can hit it again?
Not if he's beaten within an inch of his life.
Cutler was asking for war -- let's give it to him.
No, Fi's right -- enough of this "sneaking around" crap.
My only question is, do we hit his club or his stash house?
Look, we must stick to the plan.
Cutler tried to torch the clinic, Michael.
I'd like for him to suffer a little.
Guys, we need to be smart here.
Confronting Cutler isn't -- Michael, I need to talk to you.
Not now, ma.
Right now.
Excuse me.
[ Sighs ] Mom, if you have a plan for handling violent heroin dealers, I am all ears.
Do you remember when you and Nate were in middle school together and there was t-that bully, Todd, who was always picking on Nate?
I really don't have time for this right now.
Well, you went over to Todd's house, and you told him, if he messed with your little brother, then he was messing with you.
And it worked.
Todd left Nate alone for the rest of the year.
Inspiring story.
Listen, mom -- yeah, until the next year, when you went off to High School.
And then Nate was fair game, Michael.
Todd and a bunch of those punks made his life miserable.
I don't remember that.
That's because he never told you, Michael.
Anyway, that's not what solved the problem.
Okay.
One day, Nate had had enough.
And he whacked Todd with a 2x4.
Of course...He was suspended from school for a week.
But after that, everybody left him alone.
And you know why?
'Cause he stood up for himself!
Mom, David isn't up against middle-school bullies.
These people will kill him.
I don't think that you're gonna let that happen.
Either you're with us or you're not, but we're hitting Cutler back.
No, we are not.
David's going to be the one who stands up to Cutler.
We're just gonna give him a little help.
Okay.
All aboard.
(Michael) So, this truck will get them past the checkpoint?
Yep.
You good?
Yeah.
Another bag.
What is this -- every explosive you own?
Huh.
You don't know me very well.
Okay.
I'll deliver our special guests.
You putting Cutler on high alert?
Yeah, and assuming he requires a little demonstration, you mind paying the corner boys a visit?
Not at all.
I thought you said I was standing up to Cutler myself.
Trust me, the spotlight will be on you.
Look, David, I am no fan of sending an untrained man into danger.
So you got to promise me that you'll follow the playbook here.
I used to be a spy until...
[ Cellphone rings ] Man: We got a burn notice on you.
You're blacklisted.
When you're burned, you've got nothing -- no cash, no credit, no job history.
You're stuck in whatever city they decide to dump you in.
Where am I?
Miami.
You do whatever work comes your way.
You rely on anyone who's still talking to you.
A trigger-happy ex-girlfriend...
Should we shoot them?
...An old friend who used to inform on you to the FBI...
You know spies -- a bunch of bitchy little girls.
...Family, too...
Hey, is that your mom again?
...If you're desperate.
Someone needs your help, Michael.
Bottom line -- as long as you're burned, you're not going anywhere.
Previously on "Burn Notice"...
Blood.
Looks like somebody was dumping a body.
That would explain why he disappeared.
The dead body belongs to Jeremiah Kassar.
I hate to sound paranoid, but we had break-ins around here recently.
She kills Kassar, Then sits on the place next door.
to see if anyone comes knocking.
We just blew our chance to end this thing.
I don't know, Jesse.
I think we're just getting started.
Spies are used to battling cutting-edge encryption and billion-dollar security.
But sometimes the toughest challenge is cracking something old and out of date.
If you find yourself up against an obsolete tape drive loaded with arcane software, you can either find yourself a time machine...
Or admit defeat.
14 phone calls, 7 data-recovery experts, and three hours of arm-twisting to even access this drive, and it's unreadable!
I know it's a little frustrating -- "frustrating"?
Oh, it's more than frustrating, Michael.
We're trying to track down the people that let a psychopath stick explosives in a Miami hotel!
We have nothing.
I wouldn't say it's nothing.
Look -- no, no!
Not in the trash!
The owner of this killed our best lead, which makes her someone we should talk to.
Ah.
The elusive Kendra.
You think she's just gonna give you a call?
Invite you to brunch?
Spies always assume they're being followed.
It could mean nothing that a route is blocked, forcing everyone to leave the building through one exit.
But when that exit is in view of a driver who's been sitting in a parked car since you walked in, that starts to mean something.
Good news.
I think Kendra just found us.
Gray San.
Right behind you.
You think she's been sitting on this place?
She probably figured we'd have to bring the tape drive here at some point.
Which we did.
Still think this is a dead end?
It is if she kills us.
Aw, thanks, dear.
[ Cellphone rings ] [ Cellphone beeps ] Hey, Mike.
How's "Operation: Boring Tape-Drive"?
Just got more interesting.
Kendra's surveilling us.
Oh, everybody's favorite murderer makes a special appearance.
You need help losing her?
No, we need help grabbing her, tossing her into a storage container, getting some answers.
How quick can you get over to the design district?
About a half an hour, maybe less.
You want to run her through foot traffic?
Yeah.
Let's get her walking.
You play lookout.
There's an alley behind the dress stores.
We can grab her there.
Okay.
Game on.
See you in 30.
[ Cellphone beeps ] [ Groans ] That sound good to you?
All I heard was "dress stores."
You know, if I'm gonna spend the afternoon playing bait, I think you should buy me the nicest thing I see.
Being hunted isn't always a bad thing.
When someone's on your tail, you can pick the route.
And if you're really good, you can lead them into a trap of your own.
[ Cellphone rings ] Yeah.
(Sam) Well, there's no sign of Kendra, unless she's disguised as a fat tourist.
Well, keep your eyes open.
She's slick.
Well, that could be our girl.
Okay, Mikey, pick up the pace.
Yep.
She's tailing you with reflections.
The girl's got some moves.
Wonder where she got her training.
Not sure, but there's something about her that bugs me.
Okay, your alley's coming up.
I left a taser for you underneath a crate.
I'll bring up the rear.
Okay, Mikey.
All yours, any second now.
Where is she?
[ Hinges creak ] [ Grate slams ] [ Cellphone ringing ] You dropped your phone.
Oh, did I?
Seems like I'm always losing things.
Who are you?
I could ask you the same question.
It's "Kendra," right?
That's as good a name as any.
Why are you after me?
And here I was, thinking it was the other way around.
Why don't you come back down so we can have a nice, little chat?
A little chat with the guy who tried to grab me in an alley?
A couple days ago, you tried to kill me.
Touché.
Look, I'm willing to forgive and forget, but sooner or later, you'll want to meet up.
I have something that you want.
Mm, someone's cocky.
I like that.
I hope you're ready to have some fun.
Burn Notice 4x05 Neighborhood Watch Original Air Date on July 1, 2010 -- Sync, corrected by elderman -- -- for www.addic7ed.com -- So now Kendra knows you're after her?
She knew that before.
And now we know that she's after us, which is an opportunity.
Yeah, it's an opportunity for one of us to end up dead.
She's probably tracking us with that phone.
Right.
Because I'm an amateur.
I forwarded the phone to this burner.
Kendra's gonna want her tape drive back.
I'm gonna offer to let her buy it back from me.
So you're baiting a killer?
You don't have to be counter-Intel to see the risk in that.
It's the best way to get her close to us.
And when she's close, I grab her.
Trust me.
I've done this before.
Mm-hmm.
And how are you still alive?
[ Door opens ] Michael!
Jesse said you'd be dropping by.
Good timing.
You can meet a friend of mine.
Actually, I'm a little busy.
Okay.
I'll tell her not to worry about the drug dealers.
This woman's in the middle of a serious situation, Mike.
You're in on this?
Why do you think I asked you to come over here?
I expect this from her.
Lauren was my favorite doctor before she moved to Homestead.
Her boyfriend's kind of a community leader down there.
David started the clinic last year.
I volunteer down there.
This town's been hit hard with the economy.
My mom mentioned something about drug dealers.
Yeah.
A couple months ago, these drug dealers showed up in town, started selling heroin right outside our front door.
Can you believe that?
They're slinging dope right by the clinic, man.
Did you call the cops?
David called them a few times.
The police show up, they arrest a drug dealer or two, but half an hour later, there's another dealer in the same spot.
Yeah, it gets worse, too.
Yesterday, David was walking to his car.
These guys attacked him.
They beat him up.
They said they knew he called the cops.
They told him to get out of town.
But of course David's not going to do that.
I'm scared they're gonna kill him.
[ Sighs ] I'm not even sure what I'm asking here, but, um...
He'll see what he can do, Hmm?
Hey, Lauren.
Hi.
Thank you for coming.
Please, come on back.
I'm sorry it's so hectic here.
The other clinic closed two weeks ago.
Now it's...
Just us.
David, these are the people we were talking about.
No.
Please, Lauren.
I'm busy. "
Hello" to you too.
I'm Michael.
This is Jesse.
This is Fiona.
I appreciate you stopping by.
But Lauren's told me all about you, and working outside the law will only make matters worse.
Now, there's only one move here, and that's to keep calling the cops until the dealers go away.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that why they want you dead?
Yes, it is.
And trust me, I'm not trying to be a hero here, but those thugs are selling heroin all over the neighborhood.
And someone has to stand up to them, and if people around here are too afraid to call the cops themselves -- look, David, I know you think you're doing the right thing.
But having the cops drag away a few street-level dealers isn't gonna solve your problem.
All you're doing is hurting their bottom line by a couple percent.
They tried to reason with you.
Next time, it'll be worse.
Well, I won't be intimidated.
I've dealt with people like this before.
I've set up clinics in Brazilian favelas, villages in Uganda -- and usually Miami is a little safer, but in this case...You're gonna get yourself killed.
[ Scoffs ] I hope you're not paying them for this pep talk.
David, please listen to them.
They're here to solve our problem.
So, what?
You just...Snap your fingers and the dealers disappear?
Well, it's worked before.
We'll figure out something.
The point is, we'll deal with them from the outside so they don't retaliate against you or the clinic.
All right.
Fine.
[ Sarcastically ] He seemed to really like us.
Hey, the guy's standing up for his community.
It's pretty inspiring.
There's a fine line between inspiring and suicidal.
(Fiona) I saw we hit them hard, send a message.
Guys, we don't even know who we're dealing with.
Let's figure out who these guys are working with.
Fine.
[ cellphone rings ] Just promise there will be some hitting involved at some point.
Kendra.
Nice to hear from you.
First ring?
I hope you didn't stay up all night waiting for my call.
The anticipation was killing me.
Imagine how special it'll be when we meet face to face.
Well, I'd love to meet up, as long as you're bringing me a gift.
I don't know about a gift, but the tape drive will cost you 50 grand.
There you go -- killing the mood.
Well, I'll make it up to you.
Brickell Plaza, tomorrow at 4:00.
Don't be late.
Someone's getting a little too flirty for his own good.
Fi, I'm trying to snatch Kendra off the street and tie her to a chair.
You are not helping your cause.
This is just a harmless game of cat and mouse between me and a professional killer!
[ Sighs ] I should scout Brickell Plaza.
Think you guys can climb the dope-dealing food chain?
Yeah, yeah, we'll get Sam out here, find another corner those dealers are working, figure out who's running the show.
Give me a ride home first?
Take the bus, Romeo.
It's a dangerous neighborhood.
These guys are pros, Fi.
See, nobody ever touches the drugs and the money at the same time.
If we were cops, we would basically have about nothing on them.
Reason number 337 I'm glad I'm not a cop.
Sleazebag number one is doing his count.
You think the runner's on his way?
Let's hope.
As much as I like watching a liquor store parking lot...
[ Cellphone dials, rings ] [ Cellphone rings, beeps ] We doing this or what, people?
I'm the impatient one around here.
It's looking like the money's on its way.
Well, it sounds like they need a new customer.
If you've ever accidentally set off an alarm at a clothing store, you know how radio-frequency tags work.
Spies use lightweight rfid trackers, too.
But instead of catching shoplifters, they're able to tail their targets more effectively.
Whatcha want?
Need five dimes.
Oh, it's 60 bucks.
[ Tracker beeping ] Bounce radio waves off an rfid tracker with a modified digital depth finder, and you can keep tabs on whatever you like without having to get too close.
Then it's just a matter of waiting for it to move.
[ Tracker beeping ] That's our runner.
And this is where the money goes.
[ Tracker beeps ] Well, you don't have to be an expert in body language to see that he's the one calling the shots.
Running his operation out of a strip club.
Classy.
Still, I should probably follow him in there, Fi.
This surveillance could take a while.
Well, you know, there is a quicker way to get a handle on his operation.
Michael's old neighbor.
Sugar?
Really?
He owes us a favor.
And he obviously knows the drug scene.
I really don't like hanging out with that guy.
Well, I'm calling him.
You're the one who volunteered for inside surveillance.
[ Scoffs ] Whatcha looking for, Sammy?
Jack-and-Jills, Tachas?
No drugs, Sugar.
We just want your expertise.
Yokn any big dope dealers in Homestead?
Nah, it's small-time down this way.
Ain't no real ballers South of 142nd.
Yeah?
There might be one now.
Oh, no, man.
What kind of malfeasance you got me mixed up in here?
That dude's psychotic.
He gives dealers a bad name.
Sounds like you know him.
Vince Cutler.
Everybody in the game knows him.
He came down from the Bronx, and now he's spreading through Dade County like the plague.
A couple years back, in Hialeah, he shot my friend Carl.
He'd have shot me too, but I swore I'd stay out of his business forever.
And now I'm hanging in his strip joint.
Thanks, Sammy.
This is suicide.
This is a public place, Sugar.
You're okay.
You don't get it.
He's been cozying up to some Mexican cartels.
They fronted him a huge stash.
Now he's got to pay them back.
Ain't nobody scarier than somebody trying to move up -- Wait, wait.
Wait a second.
How do you know that, about his stash?
Everybody knows, man.
He's a heavy hitter.
You need more reasons why we got to get the hell up out of here?
Wait, Sugar.
Wait, wait.
Hang on.
Wait a second.
[ Glass shatters ] Working in the field often demands making tough decisions.
(Cutler) Yo, grab him.
Is that Sugar?
But if you have to choose between letting someone get killed or getting beat up as a distraction...
Oh!
Yo!
[ Slurred ] "Yo," yourself!
Hey, you owe me a drink!
Move out of my way.
I'll move out of your way when you buy me another drink.
Oh!
Hey!
I didn't ask for a lap dance!
You should thank me for letting you walk out of here.
Okay.
Thank you.
...You pick the bruised ribs...
[ Grunts ] Every time.
Right.
Yeah.
Hey.
Point taken.
Nothing distracts someone like rage, although getting someone really angry can be risky.
Man, you should have left when you had the chance!
[ Glass shatters ] Aah!
Yeah, you want some?
Thought I'd introduce myself to the head honcho.
Oh, and how'd that go?
Worst surveillance ever.
This is insane!
I can't let you turn this place into a fortress!
Sorry, David -- from now on, everyone comes and goes through the front door so we can keep an eye on things.
Is that -- no, please do not bring a gun in here.
I thought you were just gonna tell the dealers to go away.
We're not gonna get rid of them that easily.
This guy, Cutler, has to pay back his supplier.
They need to run the corners 24/7.
So they'll never leave?
Not without a good reason.
But we'll give them a good reason.
They took a huge amount of heroin from the cartel.
They need to sell it to pay off the debt.
So we need to find his supply, take it, and he'll be running from some very angry Mexicans.
So you're gonna steal his drugs?
Well, that sounds even crazier than calling the police.
David, think of it this way.
The police are kind of like this bandage here.
They mostly just cover up the problem.
We're more like...
This.
So how do you plan to find where this guy hides his drugs?
We're gonna give him something else to hide.
And what do you have that a drug dealer needs to hide?
We need some Fentanyl.
Do you know any veterinarians?
I'm not sure if my head is throbbing from the cut or the prospect of spending more time with Sugar.
You'll know soon.
[ Singsong voice ] He's here.
Hey, what up, boys?
I'm on the team, bro.
We're going after Cutler's stash.
We need a little more help.
Cutler?
Hey, was I, like, not clear before?
Because I think I remember saying something about staying away from that dude before Sammy here got wrecked.
I wouldn't consider this "wrecked," and stop calling me "Sammy."
I'm just saying, I'm with you guys.
I owe you.
My word is bond...
Except for this time.
Relax, Sugar.
You're not getting anywhere near Cutler again.
Thank you.
Now, if there's anything else I can do for you guys -- I just need you to make a few phone calls.
Call your buddies up north and tell them to remember working with me.
I got to vouch for you?
How about instead I get you guys some fine-ass Cuban cigars?
You guys like Cubans?
Okay.
I'll make some calls.
Spies spend so much time thinking through operations from every angle that occasionally they get too clever for their own good.
Sometimes, you're better off keeping things simple.
If a drug dealer is looking to get rich, there's no better approach than offering him a great deal on drugs.
Vince.
Vince Cutler.
Kyle Barkley.
I heard you'll be running this town soon.
I figured I would speed up the clock and get to say I knew you when.
I got no idea who you think I am.
I'm just here to watch the girls, not trying to make friends.
I got enough friends.
I'm here to talk business.
Hold on -- I could be sitting anywhere in the world right now.
But I'm sitting here next to you.
Do you know why?
'Cause you and I, we have a lot in common.
We're a perfect fit.
Just gonna hit you with one word -- one word -- Fentanyl.
You spikin' your punch with it?
This is neither the time nor the place -- don't answer.
I already know you're not.
You'd have a nicer watch.
Hol-- hey, hold on.
Hold on.
You want to live in the '90s, be my guest.
Wait.
If you want to deal your junk, you want to chase some tail, you want to enjoy the small time, I'll find somebody else to make rich.
But if you want to make your stuff 10 times stronger with my synthetic painkiller, you won't find a better product for a better price.
[ Laughs ] All right.
So, what?
You, uh...
You in wholesale?
Yeah, I was shipping pharmaceutical-grade Fentanyl to D.C.
Dealer up there -- his junk's so strong, he could barely pocket all the cash.
Mm.
Fool got shot at a dogfight.
Now, all of a sudden, I'm a supplier without a demander.
Yeah, well, I can be demanding.
Okay, then.
Okay.
Show me your stuff.
I check its purity.
I show you how to lace it.
But I don't work with walk-ins from out of nowhere.
Well, of course I'm a walk-in.
We haven't -- we don't know each other.
Let me get your digits.
Let's swap.
Go.
[ Chuckles ] Yeah, you got a cute, little song and dance.
But just 'cause you shake your stuff in my face don't mean I'm gonna pull out my wallet.
I'll tell you what -- you do your thing, you find out who I am...
And you call me.
Hit me on the hip when you want to move to the champagne room.
[ Cellphone rings ] [ Cellphone beeps ] (Sam) Cutler like your pitch?
Just enough to call Sugar's contacts in D.C.
It'll give us a little time to focus on this Kendra business.
Speaking of -- love the new look.
Ah, thanks.
It's my assassin-snatching costume.
So, Mike, uh, you really think Kendra's coming here to make a deal?
50 grand is 50 grand, and bullets are cheap.
She won't kill me until she knows I'm holding her tape drive.
And she won't get the chance before Sammy the mall cop picks her up for shoplifting.
If she resists, zap her.
I'm betting she's gonna resist.
[ Cellphone beeps ] [ Cellphone rings ] [ Cellphone beeps ] Kendra.
You're late.
I'm watching you right now.
I thought this was gonna be a face-to-face.
Why don't you come down here?
The smoothies are great.
No, thanks.
I don't get within kissing distance until I really trust someone.
All right.
How about this?
I'll leave the tape drive here.
You leave my money there.
I'll take the stairs, you take the escalator, we both head home happy.
No.
I don't like meeting-places that you select and scout.
Who knows what little traps you've set?
Oh, Kendra, just when we were getting to know each other.
I'll call you later to set up another meet.
And next time...
I pick the place.
[ Cellphone beeps ] [ Cellphone rings ] [ Cellphone beeps ] Yeah, Sam?
Sorry, man.
She slipped away.
She's playing hard-to-get.
We'll grab her next time.
There's gonna be a next time?
Oh, goody.
Hey, some kids just stole some DVDs from my store.
Yeah?
That's a shame.
Good luck with that.
[ Door opens ] Mom?
What are you -- I just talked to Lauren.
She said that y-you and Fiona are bringing guns into the clinic!
It was that, or shut it down for a while.
And David wouldn't agree to have it shut down.
The community needs that clinic, Michael.
The whole point is to keep it open.
No, the whole point is to make sure it doesn't turn into a morgue.
Fine, maybe we should have just bought them two bus tickets.
I'm not the one running them out of town.
Please do not smoke in here.
[ Exhales ] Lauren is my friend.
I wanted you to help them.
And now they're more scared a-a-and upset than ever.
Not to mention the fact that David pretty much hates you.
I can't care about that right now, and it doesn't change anything.
I'm fighting for him, whether he likes it or not.
[ Cellphone rings ] Now, just tell Lauren to tell him I'm one of the good guys.
Mr.
Cutler.
Good to hear from you.
Had words with your friends up north.
Let's see if your product's as good as they say it is.
Well, the next time somebody complains about my drugs...
Will be the first.
Now, where is your place?
I got somewhere better to meet.
There's a spot on the edge of town.
[ Door closes ] Take the Redland exit.
Mass quantities of illegal drugs can be hard to get your hands on, but it's even harder to come by drugs regulated by the government -- manufactured, distributed, and sold under lock and key.
Even drug dealers recognize their value.
It's Mr.
Song and Dance.
Oh, please.
My father's Mr.
Song and Dance.
Kyle.
Call me Kyle.
You got a racetrack hook-up or something?
Something.
What you got there is pure, regulated, pharmaceutical-grade.
Somebody's got to give the junkies what they love, right?
Am I right?
Now, there's a pretty spot that you've picked.
We should probably get moving.
I'll show you how to cut this into your smack.
Nah.
My guys will figure that out.
Oh, what are you gonna do?
You gonna reinvent the wheel?
I hope you enjoy wasting five "K" of the product playing "amateur chemist."
I guess my privacy's worth five "K."
Your stuff better pan out, or, uh...
Gun.
Right.
Let's do lunch.
Talk soon.
Get that over to the stash house.
[ Engine revving ] I don't think they've spotted me.
Sure not doing anything to lose me.
Beginning to think these drug dealers aren't too bright.
Or they know something we don't.
Don't stress, Westen.
I got this.
All right, we must be getting close now.
It's turned into a residential neighborhood West of Seventh.
Give them some space, Jesse.
Trust me.
I've done this before.
[ Tires screech ] Damn it.
I just got cut off.
Trapped.
The S.U.V.
got away.
Don't worry about the S.U.V.
Get out of there now.
Cops use checkpoints to catch drunk drivers.
Drug dealers use them to catch people who don't belong in their neighborhood.
(Man) Yo, you know this dude?
(Man #2) No.
Who the hell are you?
Um, I'm taking a shortcut to my girlfriend's place.
Is that so?
Yeah.
Is this Seventh Street or Seventh Avenue?
Get out of the car.
Now.
Hey, man.
Look, can I ask you something?
[ Mumbles indistinctly ] What did you say?
I said, "why do you want to lose your teeth?"
Making a getaway is often more about precise handling than raw horsepower.
So in a hostile situation, rear-wheel drive is a nice advantage.
[ Tires screech ] That said, it doesn't hurt to have over 300 horsepower at your fingertips.
When did this happen?
Late last night.
After David and I locked up, they fired into the clinic.
They tossed this in.
(David) Some people from the neighborhood are starting to get scared off.
I told them not to give up, that I'll organize a meeting -- people in the neighborhood have the right idea.
We need to board this place up, close it down, at least -- no, no.
I-I don't think you get it.
Look.
Mr.
Heyneker -- he comes in for heart monitoring.
Mrs.
Rodriguez -- she needs her physical therapy every day.
We'll figure something out.
I thought you had a plan!
You said you were gonna find Cutler's drugs!
We're close -- we found the neighborhood where he keeps his drugs, just not the house.
And until we close up his business, it's not safe here.
Well, all I can say is, work faster.
Because I'm not closing this place!
David!
Let go of me!
You can thank me later.
It's just a few nights, David.
You know, it might not seem like we're helping you -- you kidnapped me!
We're keeping you alive.
Now, if anybody needs medical help -- this isn't about just providing medical help.
People count on that place.
I-it's practically a Community Center.
Parents let their kids hang out in the waiting room after school because they know it's safe.
Well, it's not safe now.
You're putting people in danger.
Please.
There's iced tea in the fridge!
[ Door closes ] Unless you want a permanent roommate, we better hurry up and find Cutler's stash house.
You really think this'll work, huh?
Beats getting shot at.
Aerial recon is invaluable in modern warfare if you need to scope out a place that's too dangerous to visit on foot.
Using a homemade drone is almost as good as rerouting a spy satellite.
Outfit a remote-controlled plane with an infrared camera, and you can get a good look at your target from above.
Install an engine-cut-off switch, and no one will even hear you coming.
[ Engine whirring ] Sam, I think the camera's too heavy.
Uh, or maybe you're just not a natural at everything, Mikey.
Let me show you how to do it.
Come on.
Here we go.
Wait.
Here we go.
Wait.
See, you got to hold -- w-wait a second.
There.
Whoa, where you going?
Where you going?
Well, you're worse than I am.
Well, it's a little windy.
Well...
What do you expect?
Ease off the throttle.
You think you can do better, kid?
Yeah!
We should enlist that kid in the Air Force.
Age limits be damned.
Why are some of these pictures...Just of the sky?
Oh, he was showing off.
He was doing some loop-the-loops.
He's kind of a smug, little brat.
How about this one?
Check out this cluster of guys.
I'm betting that's the stash house.
Perfect.
We'll pay them a visit bright and early, first thing.
Sam, you think you can get your hands on a delivery truck?
Well, I've run down Interpol files, fabricated fake I.D.s, hacked into phone records.
[ Cellphone ringing ] Yeah, I think I can get my hands on a delivery truck.
[ Cellphone beeps ] Kendra.
I've missed you.
(Kendra) How sweet.
You free tomorrow afternoon?
Sure.
Well, the weather's been so nice lately, I was thinking we could do something outdoors.
Why do I get the feeling that this is going to be a sticking point?
Bring my tape drive to the old dock at the Sunrise Bay Marina, 4:00 pm.
And all kidding aside, come alone, unarmed, or I'll be looking for a place to hide your corpse.
Delightful.
[ Cellphone beeps ] We got one more shot at Kendra, but you won't like her conditions.
I don't like that there are conditions, period.
I wish our phone conversations were as flirty.
She threatened to kill me.
I can do that.
Why don't we give David the good news instead?
Can't let you do it.
Let me go now!
Do not go anywhere, all right?
Lis-- David, listen to me.
Get your hands off me!
Michael, I tried to call you.
Do something!
(Michael) What's going on?
He's trying to slip out the back.
We talked about this, David.
They're going after the clinic.
(Fiona) Cutler?
Yes.
What's happening?
There's this patient -- a local kid.
He's epileptic.
He needed his neurontonin, so Lauren had to sneak in.
Now, I told her to be careful, but one of the drug dealers saw her.
Where is she now?
Oh, she's safe.
But one of my neighbors called me.
Cutler and his guys are telling people that they're hitting the clinic to send us a message.
Michael, you should call the police.
Lauren already did.
But a patrol car driving by every 20 minutes isn't gonna stop Cutler.
You don't let him out of your sight.
We're going to the clinic.
No!
I'll go with you!
David.
No.
Let him take care of it, all right?
[ Sighs ] Did you people not get the message?!
'Cause I told my boys to send you a message!
It should have been relayed to you!
You're closed down!
The clinic's closed!
Someone's off his meds.
This is my town!
You understand me?!
Where are the cops?
Maybe they're tired of answering David's calls.
No one gets in my way!
We have sniper rifles.
Let's stop them.
You snitch!
You're gonna pay the consequences!
If we intervene, he'll know something's up.
Our best chance is -- no one goes against me!
Never mind.
Let's clarify that point for these mother-- [ glass shatters ] [ Man screaming ] [ Gunfire ] What the hell?!
Where's it coming from?!
Let's just get out of here!
[ Tires screech ] I know you keep them from burning the place down.
And I appreciate it.
I do.
But you can't guard it around the clock.
Maybe we can just -- David, we don't need a new plan.
In a couple of days, you'll be fixing up the clinic -- why?
So Cutler can hit it again?
Not if he's beaten within an inch of his life.
Cutler was asking for war -- let's give it to him.
No, Fi's right -- enough of this "sneaking around" crap.
My only question is, do we hit his club or his stash house?
Look, we must stick to the plan.
Cutler tried to torch the clinic, Michael.
I'd like for him to suffer a little.
Guys, we need to be smart here.
Confronting Cutler isn't -- Michael, I need to talk to you.
Not now, ma.
Right now.
Excuse me.
[ Sighs ] Mom, if you have a plan for handling violent heroin dealers, I am all ears.
Do you remember when you and Nate were in middle school together and there was t-that bully, Todd, who was always picking on Nate?
I really don't have time for this right now.
Well, you went over to Todd's house, and you told him, if he messed with your little brother, then he was messing with you.
And it worked.
Todd left Nate alone for the rest of the year.
Inspiring story.
Listen, mom -- yeah, until the next year, when you went off to High School.
And then Nate was fair game, Michael.
Todd and a bunch of those punks made his life miserable.
I don't remember that.
That's because he never told you, Michael.
Anyway, that's not what solved the problem.
Okay.
One day, Nate had had enough.
And he whacked Todd with a 2x4.
Of course...He was suspended from school for a week.
But after that, everybody left him alone.
And you know why?
'Cause he stood up for himself!
Mom, David isn't up against middle-school bullies.
These people will kill him.
I don't think that you're gonna let that happen.
Either you're with us or you're not, but we're hitting Cutler back.
No, we are not.
David's going to be the one who stands up to Cutler.
We're just gonna give him a little help.
Okay.
All aboard.
(Michael) So, this truck will get them past the checkpoint?
Yep.
You good?
Yeah.
Another bag.
What is this -- every explosive you own?
Huh.
You don't know me very well.
Okay.
I'll deliver our special guests.
You putting Cutler on high alert?
Yeah, and assuming he requires a little demonstration, you mind paying the corner boys a visit?
Not at all.
I thought you said I was standing up to Cutler myself.
Trust me, the spotlight will be on you.
Look, David, I am no fan of sending an untrained man into danger.
So you got to promise me that you'll follow the playbook here.
