Ep 10. Desperate Times

After a series of successful missions, Michael is suddenly caught off-guard when a former ally, Tyler Gray, comes to him for help. Tyler is a former soldier and a friend of Michael's who has fallen on hard times and is desperate for cash. He calls on Michael to help him orchestrate a heist at a diamond exchange in Miami, promising him a big payout. Despite his reservations, Michael agrees to help Tyler and recruits Sam and Jesse to assist with the job.

The team spends the next few days planning every minute detail of the heist, from scouting out the layout of the diamond exchange to tracking the movements of the security guards. They also enlist the help of Fiona, who is a skilled explosives expert, to help them with some of the more complex aspects of the plan. However, as they get deeper into the planning stages, Michael starts to have second thoughts. He begins to suspect that Tyler may not be telling him the whole truth about his reasons for needing the money and that the heist may be more dangerous than he initially realized.

As the day of the heist approaches, tensions continue to mount within the team. Tyler becomes increasingly erratic and difficult to work with, putting everyone's safety in jeopardy. Michael, Sam, Jesse, and Fiona must work together to keep the plan on track while also keeping Tyler in check. The day of the heist finally arrives, and the team executes their plan flawlessly, making off with the diamonds just as they had planned.

However, their victory is short-lived as they soon discover that they are being tailed by a team of armed men. Michael realizes that Tyler had double-crossed them and had never intended to split the money with the team. Rather, he had planned to take all of it for himself. Michael and his team go on the run, trying to evade their pursuers and figure out a way to get the diamonds to a safe location.

As the situation becomes increasingly desperate, Michael must use all of his skills and experience to outmaneuver Tyler and his men. Meanwhile, Fiona, Sam, and Jesse work tirelessly to stay one step ahead of their pursuers and keep themselves and Michael safe. In the end, it all comes down to a thrilling game of cat-and-mouse, with Michael and Tyler facing off in a high-stakes showdown that will determine who comes out on top.
