• Sam Axe : So, Mike, that was one hell of a drive. What are we looking at?

  Michael Westen : It's a chemical research facility, closed two years ago.

  Sam Axe : Half a dozen guys with AKs. Not something you expect to see out here.

  Jesse Porter : It's a lot of activity for a closed shop.

  Michael Westen : Lights came back on a month ago. Liberian company leased it. Trucks have been dropping off guidance equipment and long-range missile components for the last few days.

  Jesse Porter : According to who? Pearce?

  Michael Westen : The agency thinks a weapons engineer, William Resnick, went rogue. It certainly sounds like he's building a missile in there.

  Sam Axe : So what, Pearce wants you to go in and see what's up?

  Michael Westen : Not me. You guys. There's a good chance the target knows my face.

  Jesse Porter : Okay. You kind of buried the lead there, Mike.

  Sam Axe : You know, the last time I did a favor for the CIA, there were a few hiccups.

  Michael Westen : I know, Sam, but we're all on the same team this time. Resnick made a purchase from a black market chip manufacturer. The CIA squeezed them, you guys are gonna get swapped in as the tech guys.

  Jesse Porter : Pearce put together our cover before she asked if we would do it?

  Michael Westen : She was counting on you guys saying yes.

  Sam Axe : Not loving how this went down, Mike, but I'm not gonna pass up a chance to bag a traitor.
