Burn Notice

My name is Michael Westen. I used to be a spy until...

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 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.

...and a down-and-out spy you met along the way.

That's how we do it, people.

Bottom line -- as long as you're burned,

you're not going anywhere.

Nate.

Nate!

Would you please say hello

to the man who murdered your brother Nate --

Tyler Gray.

Thank you, Tom. Go get 'em, champ.

Tom, I've apprehended Gray.

You will wait for backup.

Don't move.

Buddy, you got no clue.

This is supposed to be a suicide mission.

Card wants us all dead.

Please tell me it's done.

Michael: When we get back to Miami,

I'm going after Card, and I'll need help.

You'll have to wear a wire.

We need Card's confession on tape.

He'd never suspect that I'm working with the man

who killed my brother.

If I could take that shot back --

you can't. Just help me get the man who gave you that order.

Okay, what the hell? We just lost him.

Frequency jammer. That's not good.

Listen to me, Michael. Gray killed Anson.

Gray shot your brother. He murdered Nate.

You ordered him to!

Guys like you and me -- we make calls.

We know the ends justify the means.

We can do things, Michael -- great things, necessary things.

Can we move into the future?

I'm so proud of you, son.

Spies are trained to deal with catastrophic events.

They're taught to separate how they feel

from what they need to do,

but some circumstances are so extreme

that the separation is impossible.

Then, even a seasoned operative

will have the same response as everyone else --

horror, disbelief, shock.

Jesus. What happened?

Mike, what'd you do?

I did what I had to, Sam.

"Had to"?

How do you figure that?

Card's gun is in the damn holster.

He killed my brother, Sam.

He was going to get away with it.

I had no choice.

I was right outside that door, Mike.

Why didn't you come and get me before you made that call, huh?!

Because you know damn well

I would've had something to say about it!

Card's team is coming, Sam. We got to go.

[ Indistinct talking, footsteps approach ]

This isn't finished.

We need to go out through the balcony.

This just keeps getting better.

We're gonna need help getting out of here, Mike.

I'll call Fi. First, let's get up to the next floor.

Michael: Fi, you outside?

Yeah, we're here. You want to tell me what's going on?

Hotel security's buzzing around like bees.

And there is a CIA caravan rolling in --

two S.U.V.s and a command van.

Michael, what happened?

Card's dead. They're coming for me.

What. Michael, why?

I can't explain right now. We need a way out of here.

We made it up to the 9th floor, but we don't have much time.

Got it. I'll call you back.

I don't like that look. What's up?

Those suits are after Michael.

We need to find him a way out of here.

All right, you check the front.

I'll circle around the east side.

I want you to make contact with hotel security.

You get me the manager.

Fi, how we looking?

Not good.

There's a full tactical support team on-site,

and some heavy-hitter seems to be running the show.

Fi, I need a door.

Give me one exit they haven't covered.

There isn't one.

They got the whole place locked down.

Michael, you're trapped.

Burn Notice 6x13 Over the Line Original Air Date on November 15, 2012

== sync, corrected by elderman ==

If you need to escape a building

that's being locked down, speed is key.

There's a small amount of time

when the authorities coordinate their efforts.

Intelligence operatives are trained

to take advantage of that window.

Of course,

when the person in charge of locking down the building

is also a trained intelligence operative,

that window may get closed before you can use it.

Who authorized you to override fire protocols?!

'Cause I sure didn't!

I did, Captain.

The elevators, P.A. system, and security cameras

belong to me now.

I want fire to fall back.

Get your officers on channel 3.

You're taking orders from me now.

What kind of control do they have on the east side, Fi?

I'd say complete control.

Anyone who tries to leave isn't getting past the lobby.

There's no way out.

They're not guarding

the 2nd-floor access to the garage.

If I can make my way down there, I should be able to get inside

and find a way to the street.

It won't work, Michael.

They're stopping every car that comes out.

Okay, I need you to meet me in the north side alley.

There's no access from the garage to the north.

Just get there.

Ms. Riley, we have visual on all floors.

We found two bodies upstairs.

Gray?

Who else?

Tom Card.

I want a team outfitted and ready to sweep in five.

The son of a bitch who killed Tom

is probably still in this building.

And he's not getting out.

Well, I thought we were screwed seven ways from Sunday,

but you can go ahead and make it eight and nine.

They've got a guard on every floor,

and they're recruiting hotel employees

to help lock it down.

It's not just the guard.

They've got cameras outside the elevators on every floor.

If I can take out the guard --

Okay, whoa. I'm not gonna kill him, Sam.

You sure about that, Mike?

'Cause last time I let you out of my sight --

I can get us out of here.

You can kick my ass or you can hear my plan,

but you can't do both.

All right, let's hear it.

Attention, valued guests.

We are experiencing an emergency.

Please go back to your rooms immediately

and await further instructions.

Once a location is completely locked down,

the only thing hiding does is delay your capture.

To get out, you need to generate action

to keep security off-balance and on the move.

And the only way to do that is to come right out in the open.

Man: Norm, what's taking so long?

I need you down on the mezzanine level.

I got six floors to cover. I'm moving as fast as I can.

Where's the ice machine?

Sir, you need to go back to your room.

Over here. I have something.

Oh, my God.

I think that's -- that's Michael Westen.

He's one of ours.

I need that team on the 9th floor. Move!

Freeze! Hands up!

Jesus! Don't shoot! I work here!

What happened here?

Some psycho just zonked Norm.

I came around the corner. He was gone already.

Any idea where he went?

Yeah, I heard him run down the stairwell.

Go!

What -- d-don't try and talk.

Now, Norm, I don't know who did this to you,

but don't you worry -- we're gonna get him, okay?

Hey, come on!

The guy's been injured. Can we help him to the lobby?

Once you get a security team moving,

your best chance to escape is to move with them.

If they don't know your face, you can hide in plain sight.

If they do know your face,

you have to get a little more creative.

You sure he said the north wall?

Yeah, I'm sure.
