Complete story — includes the ending
Pearce is pressed by her superiors, who have a past with Sam (see: Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe ), to immediately track down a stolen Predator drone in the middle of the investigation and keep it out of the hands of a Serbian ex-military syndicate. To protect an undercover asset, Michael offers his team's service to recover the drone off-the-books and puts Sam in position to influence an old foe, a dangerous drug dealer named Carmelo ( Todd Stashwick; from Episode 1.12 "Loose Ends"), to go after the Serbians. Things get serious, though, when Carmelo finds out he's being duped, so Michael pops up to offer a deal: Michael and Sam get out alive, while Carmelo gets to be the hero with the authorities, even if they don't like it. In the meantime, despite frustration at Michael putting Sam in danger, the team uses facial recognition to find the Michael clone who framed him and tail him to a gun buy, a bad omen for whatever's ahead.
