Complete story — includes the ending

During a CIA extraction mission in the Caribbean, Michael, Jesse, and Pearce get trapped by a group of sadistic mercenaries hired by an oil cartel plotting a hostile takeover of protected oil wells in South America. Pretending to be on their side, the trio work to get access to the list of government outposts the mercenaries are after and are nearly outed by an actual security team from the company, so Michael turns the lead mercenary against his boss and takes him, the file, and the man who sold it all directly to the CIA. Back in Miami, in order to find out who made the bomb intended for Michael's doppelgänger, Fi does a favor for an ex-boyfriend (Guest Star: Gavin Rossdale ) with the expertise, which involves stealing an arms shipment from a heavily guarded facility. Although she deplores the man, she does the job and gives Michael the information at a couples dinner with Maddie and her new boyfriend.
