17. Out of the Fire

Complete story — includes the ending

Now that he has all the cards, Brennen gives Michael a choice: kill the people on the list with help and supervision from his psychotic former mentor Larry, or face Vaughn's wrath after he receives a tape, whose delivery only Brennen can prevent, of Michael's meeting about it with Marv. Though he feels a bit guilty lying about his friend's death to the guy's family and the authorities, a grieving Jesse joins the rest of the team as they help Michael get the list back and put an end to Brennen's plan, only to have Larry take control by killing the first target and Brennen to get Michael all to himself. Michael's team steals the vault with the list and set Larry up for the police so Michael can escape his grip, but Brennen's death means the gang are staring down the barrel of an all-out war with Vaughn.
