Complete story — includes the ending

An attaché who Jesse knows asks him to bring down the man he's assigned to, a dirty diplomat who's abusing his diplomatic privilege to smuggle blood diamonds. The team's initial plan to get inside the man's guarded house and take evidence of his misdeeds out of his vault is unexpectedly ruined, but Jesse's legacy-minded friend decides to sacrifice his life to bring the diplomat to justice. In the interim, with encouragement from his mother to find a way to stop Anson, Michael negotiates with Pearce to talk with his old pal Vaughn to find out what the man is up to. Much to Michael's dismay, Vaughn tells him that he only got part of the organization and that Anson is resurrecting it from the parts that still exist.
