Complete story — includes the ending

To assuage doubts about his authenticity and commitment to their mission, Michael expresses no desire for his Miami life and makes a deal with James: to keep his friends and family out of jail, he'll take over James' organization with Sonya after giving him up to the CIA, working to undermine them as a triple agent. As things unfold, his friends become convinced he's now working for the enemy and plot to get him out of the country immediately, along with Madeline, but Michael and Sam come to blows when he sees their trap and they can't agree on if he's made the right choice in James. Despite Sam's warning, Michael regroups with Sonya to plan James' capture, while Sam and the team follow them to the handoff site, determined to save Michael from himself. James is bearing down in his helicopter when Fiona comes up to the roof, resolved to get "the old Michael" back even if it ruins the operation, and, with Sonya pressing, the screen goes black with a gunshot from a Mexican standoff.
