 | Shaken Not Stirred
Episode 1.19
The team is excited when they are assigned to work
with legendary British agent Ian Leslie to apprehend
an Irish terrorist named Moorcock.
Mac and Vic
quickly become jealous as Ian flirts with Li Ann,
while they all try to figure out why Moorcock blew up
a truck full of antiques.
Moorcock surprises Li Ann
in a restaurant and claims that he never killed
anyone, but that Ian has been sent to kill him. Ian
denies this. Ian gets into Moorcock's stronghold and
doesn't manage to capture him, but Ian's assistant
makes contact with Moorcock's two ex-pro-wrestler
employees, and buys them out.
Another trap is planned
for Moorcock, and when Moorcock falls into it, Ian's
assistant reveals that he in fact outranks Ian and has
been sent to kill Moorcock.
He locks Vic and Moorcock
into the back of a truck which is rigged to explode,
but Mac, Li Ann and Ian show up in time to rescue
them. Then Moorcock, in turn, rescues Ian and Li Ann
from Ian's assistant.
Finally Li Ann reveals to the
boys that she never had sex with Ian.

Politics Of Love
Episode 1.20
Mac nearly dies when he sniffs one of the Cleaners'
poisons. Li Ann injects an antidote straight into his
heart to save him.
While Mac takes time off to
recover, Vic and Li Ann have a case: someone is trying
to kill Drake Oliver, a member of the mysterious
Government Advisory Council (GAC) which funds the
Agency.
Li Ann searches for the would-be assassin,
while Vic guards Drake (who says he'd rather be
guarded by Mac). Li Ann, following a lead on the
would-be assassin, investigates a radical
environmental group, Green Revolution, who claim they
never kill anyone but mention that a former member,
"the Monk," sometimes does.
Meanwhile, Mac is feeling
better, but his near-death experience reminded him of
his love for Li Ann. Li Ann does not want to restart
their relationship.
Vic is having his own
difficulties; Drake insists on visiting his girlfriend
(former child star Cleo Redford), and during the visit
there's another unsuccessful assassination attempt.
The Director finally gives in to Drake's wishes and
assigns Mac to guard him. When the team learns that
Cleo Redford is shipping a coffin to the Tangs on a
chartered plane, they remember that the Tangs still
have a price on Mac's head ($5 million!). They figure
out that Drake and Monk are working together to
capture Mac and get the money.
Unfortunately, by this
time Mac's already been captured. Vic, Li Ann and the
Director track Monk down with Nathan's help, and
rescue Mac in the nick of time.

 | Family Reunion
Episode 1.21
Li Ann has been dreaming about Michael, reliving the
moment when he drove off the pier to avoid killing
her. She is concerned, because she finds her dreams
often predict reality.
At the Agency, the Director informs the team that many
important criminals—leaders of various mobs and
criminal empires—have arrived in town in the past
few days. She wants to know why. The agents
investigate, and Jackie discovers that one of the
visitors is a guy she knows, Ernie "the King"
Kingsheimer. She uses this connection to get herself
and Vic into the meeting which all the criminals have
come to attend—and it turns out that the Tang
godfather is holding the meeting, accompanied by
Michael! Mr. Tang explains that he's decided to sell
off all his criminal holdings, and turn over the newly
legitimate family business to Michael.
There is dissension within the Tangs. A powerful
faction, led by the godfather's trusted ally Chow,
doesn't like the idea of becoming law-abiding
citizens. They assassinate the godfather. Mac and Li
Ann see it happen, and are reunited with Michael at
the side of their dying father.
With the godfather dead, the Tang family spins out of
control, and the Director wants Li Ann and Mac to help
Michael regain power. They both are reluctant,
particularly Mac, who doesn't believe that Michael has
changed. Meanwhile, the Director orders Vic and
Jackie to take down the King. In the end they don't
have to do a thing; he dies on his own.
Li Ann brings Mac and Michael to Chow, supposedly to
betray them both to him, but actually to give Mac,
Michael and herself the chance to kill Chow and the
other key members of his faction. They are
successful, and Michael wins his place as the head of
the Tangs.

End Game
Episode 1.22
An assassin named Gerald Pucci is killing people in
the city. The Director orders her team to find out
everything they can; she also asks Michael to hire
Pucci, and see what he can learn. The agents soon
become concerned that the Director is taking this case
more personally than most, but they don't know why.
Pucci makes one attempt to kill the Director, and
fails; the agents don't know about it. After some
investigation, and after Pucci kills another person
(the mobster Ennio Marcogliese), Vic, Li Ann and
Jackie realize that Pucci is killing off all the
people who have hired him to kill others in the past.
Determined to catch Pucci at any cost, the Director
asks Michael to hire him to kill her. Michael sets up
a meeting between the Director and Pucci at an
abandoned warehouse. Before she goes, the Director
finally explains to Vic, Mac and Li Ann the connection
between herself and Pucci: she hired him to work for
the Agency, and trained him as an assassin. She
therefore holds herself responsible for the innocent
people he has killed since he decided to go freelance.
Vic, Mac and Li Ann follow the Director to the
warehouse, in time to save her when Pucci shows up
with a backup shooter. The Director manages to kill
Pucci, but is wounded herself. Vic and Li Ann take
her outside. Mac and Michael stay behind. Mac
reveals that he finally trusts Michael. It turns out
this is the moment Michael has been waiting for to
finally get his revenge on Mac. Michael shoots a
heavy light fixture so it falls on top of Mac,
trapping him in the building, where a bomb is about to
go off. Michael then leaves the warehouse, and tries
to run down Li Ann with a car. She shoots him
instead, and his car crashes and explodes. Vic and Li
Ann run into the warehouse to rescue Mac.
There were two different endings filmed to this
episode.
Ending #1: The warehouse explodes while the three
agents are still inside. The Director mourns their
deaths in a montage of flashbacks, set to the song
"Time" by Tom Waits.
Ending #2: The three agents walk away from the
explosion, unharmed.
