Storyline

Scary Mason Gilroy recruits Michael and icy thief Claude to steal a file from the Chilean consulate, but the team gets rid of Claude more consequentially than they imagined. Sugar begs Mike for help to get his simpleton cousin out of the clutch of violent crime baron Lynch, but fails to keep his distance while the team infiltrates and still has to improvise as they misread the gang's plans.

Quotes

[first lines]
Michael Westen: [narrative] It's never fun to be the guy who clears a location for a meet. In the best case, you waste your time looking for dangers that aren't there. In the worst case, of course, you miss something.
