Michael’s landlord, Oleg, reaches out to him to help his best waitress Cara. She stopped coming to work after receiving death threats. Michael sees it as an opportunity to live rent-free for the next few months, that is until he finds out that a Colombian cartel is behind the threats. Cara was the only one to see a brutal beating, and was able to visually identify the attacker, Alvaro DeSantos, for police. She’s been getting “anonymous” threats against her life ever since and the cops are not providing protection. Michael first tries to help Cara get out of Miami but this is made difficult by her seventeen year old daughter’s reluctance to leave her life behind. In order to keep the mother and daughter safe in Miami, Michael must turn the cartel against DeSantos. In the meantime Michael is able to make contact with an old spy friend of his who is in Miami to attend a conference under diplomatic cover. This man is his means to getting confidential information about his burn notice and Michael isn’t above using a little blackmail to get it. Finally, Michael saves the lives of the desperate mother and daughter while obtaining his first tangible lead; the burn notice tracking number.
