Burn Notice 4x02

Michael Westen has put a burn notice on an innocent man, counterintelligence agent Jesse Porter – just as what happened to him years ago. Now our favorite former spy has even more reasons to continue his own mission finding out why he got blacklisted. Michael returns to his newest Pal, Vaughn, to ask for information about this Jesse, but isn’t very co-operative. Sam, Fiona, and Michael tail Jesse, and nearly see him get shot. Then Jesse shows up at Michael’s house, not because he knows he burned him, but because of Michael’s reputation for helping those in need. For Jesse does need help with some drug-dealing Mongolian Khan who thinks Jesse stole his money. Michael being who he is, barges right in on Khan, and offers to help him get rid of Jesse. He arranges for Khan to buy a vast array of illegal arms, and then have Sam call in the police to have Khan arrested. Unfortunately, Khan gets released as he’d done a favor for some DEA officer in the past – and got his hands on Jesse right away. Now, Michael needs to rush in, give Jesse a cheat sheet, make it seem he’s talking under torture. With Mike’s covert instructions, Jesse tells Khan his associate Lee has the money. A short stand-off later, and both Lee and Khan are shot. With Jesse’s name cleared, Michael has a little conversation with him about being blacklisted. Mike wants to help Jesse; Jesse asks if it’s okay with Michael that he’ll kill whoever is responsible for his burn notice; and Michael says he’s okay with that. Ooh!
