Burn Notice: Season 3, Episode 9

3 - 9: Long Way Back

A dangerous Irishman from Fiona's past resurfaces in Miami after years of hiding, with deadly intentions. Teaming up with Fiona's ruthless brother, Michael will do whatever it takes to save her... even if that means crossing a few lines. Strickler meanwhile tries to train Michael for his upcoming review and to clean up Michael's background based on false information. Tension ensues between the two when Michael cannot approve Strickler's way of handling the situation. Forced to choose between saving Fiona and using Strickler's "connections" with the intelligence community, Michael shoots Strickler dead in a heated showdown. After rescuing Fiona from her captors, Michael receives a distressed call from Diego Garza, his local contact with the CIA, who questions Michael incredulously for working with Tom Strickler; then warns Michael that there are people after both of them. Telling Diego to stay put in his apartment, Michael rushes to meet Diego, only to find that he has fallen to his death from his apartment building. Michael finds himself confused immensely over the situation at hand, having no idea who was behind Diego's death, if anyone.
