Burn Notice: Season 1, Episode 3

1 - 3: Fight or Flight

While attempting to gather more information about the people who burned him, Michael sneaks into a conference at a hotel for operatives. He finds the name of Akhom Thabet (Robert Younis), an Egyptian spy who he helped rescue years ago. Thabet gives Michael a copy of his burn notice. Meanwhile, Michael helps Cara Stagner (Dedee Pfeiffer), a waitress who is being harassed by a drug cartel because she is a witness to a brutal beating committed by Alvaro Desantos (Ivo Lopez). Michael is able to convince the cartel that Desantos is a cooperating informant. Desantos is killed by his own people, leaving the cartel no reason to kill Cara.
