Storyline

While the team is after artillery smuggling by ship from Algeria, Jesse demands the team finishes the job after he spontaneously stopped port worker Hank from being bullied by mob goons. Mike poses as a rogue FBI agent to offer a trap deal to their boss, Tony Caro, actually a vassal of a major New York crime family, whose ruthless envoy, Gio Russo, is urgently demanding more profits. The first set-up failed, but now Sam impersonates a New york hit-man to lure Tony into going for a quick major catch.

User Reviews

Cool quote

"Military leaders since the city states of early Greece have known, that tried and tested methods of getting rid of an adversary is to provoke into an attack a more powerful enemy.

Provide an ambitious adversary with a backing of a seemingly invincible army and he is bound to go hunting for even his toughest rival...

Making sure your adversary is eliminated, then becomes about pulling that backing once he has declared war on his rival, when it's too late for him to take it all back."

This quote is a good example of why this show can be so addicting. Some of the drama is a little played out, but the military references make the show every engaging.
