Dead or Alive

Michael decides to give the flash drive containing the information on the people who burned him to the government. He meets with Jesse's old handler, Marv, who tells him that even though he does not trust him, he will make sure the information is kept safe by the government. When one of Sam's naval partners, a cop, is accused of crimes and then murdered, it is up to Michael and Sam to clear his name and find who's responsible. At the end of the episode, Michael and Jesse meet with Marv, who seems uncomfortable at the meeting, and gives him the flash drive. Marv apologizes before handing the flash drive over to men posing as Homeland Security Officers, saying they threatened to kill his wife if he didn't cooperate with them. The fake officers shoot and kill Marv, then escape in an SUV -- with Tyler Brennen (Jay Karnes) in the back seat, much to Michael's dismay.
