Ep 5. Signals and Codes

Michael, Fiona, and Sam take on a job to recover a stolen software program for a client. He explains that it is a program that can decode signals from a specific transmitter, a device used commonly by terrorist groups. The group that stole it is in Miami and has been using it to interfere with communications between the US military and their allies.

The team quickly discovers that the group behind the theft is a trio of tech-savvy criminals. They track them down to an abandoned warehouse but are taken by surprise when they find out the group is also armed.

Michael and his team are able to fend off their attackers and retrieve the stolen program. However, upon returning it to their client, they discover that he has been less than forthcoming with the full details of the job. They learn that he is a former intelligence agent who has gone rogue. He had used the software program as part of his personal vendetta against a corrupt former colleague.

Feeling uneasy about the job, Michael decides to dig deeper into the client's motives. He discovers that the rogue agent had been under investigation by the CIA for illegal activities and had been dismissed from his position. He had stolen the program to use it as leverage against his former colleagues.

Meanwhile, Fiona is dealing with a personal crisis. She has received news that her former lover and fellow IRA member has been killed. She struggles with her grief and guilt over her involvement in the violent organization. Michael tries to comfort her, but she is determined to make amends in her own way.
