"Friends and Family" is the twenty-ninth episode of Burn Notice, an American television drama series created for the USA Network. "Friends and Family" has Michael attempting to help an old friend.
After Michael jumps out of the helicopter in the previous episode "Lesser Evil", he swims to the shore where his instincts kick in and he notices a cop looking in his direction. After a quick chase scene, Michael enters a hotel where he calls Fiona and finds out that someone has stopped protecting his name, and there are numerous warrants out for him. After quick deliberation, Michael decides to cooperate and walks outside where he is promptly arrested.
While in jail, Sam comes to visit Michael where he tells him that his shades have been sent to the loft, as well as a card which was sent from Management stating "Let us know when you've had enough - Management". Sam also lets Michael know that he is on the radars of foreign agencies again, as well as no longer being hidden from the police systems. Afterwards, Michael's old friend, Harlan (Brian Van Holt) shows up and bails him out of jail. They return to Michael's mom's house where he sees the damage they (Sam and Madeline) caused in "Lesser Evil" while trying to escape from the group that burned Michael. Here, Harlan asks for Michael's help for a girl he met down south. The situation is where a powerful crime lord named Rufino Cortez in Venezuela pays judges to throw landowners in jail and seize their property, and then proceeds to sell them to American firms.
Some call me a loser
Some call me a cheater
Some say I'm a selfish untalented dreamer
Cause all's I try to do is keep my dream alive
But it's so hard to do when your working 9 to 5
I've never been one afraid to die
But I'm afraid to leave behind
The precious life that grows through the sands of time
Cause now I've got two daughters
And I know they need their father
To help them make it through all of the devious things that people do
Cause every moment counts from the good times to the bad
I don't have time to envy those that got things I've never had
Cause the one thing most important is the one we take for granted
And until your life is on that line I think it's the way god had planned it
To open up your eyes and make you realize
That to some life is money
But what's money without life
Cause all's I need is the air that I breathe
And my friends and family to believe in me
As deep as the abyss where the waters run
As deep as the land of the rising sun
You know I'm down
And even when them odds are against us
It doesn't even matter
Nothing else matters
We bleed the same blood
We cry the same tears
We have the same fears
We pass the same years
We see the same stars
Under the same skies
We pass the same time
We all live and die
Cause friends and family wash thicker than blood
And if ya' never felt love than I feel for you cuz'
Cuz' lives pass above us in 747's
Deceased dwell below us
Before they go to heaven
Everything in between will hassle me
Some stay connected while other keep dreaming
Looking for that meaning but the lost can't be found
Drop to your caps and pray
Now can ya' hear the sound?
Do ya' feel it?
Now do ya' feel it comin'?
Two triple zero the hunters are the hunted
Electrical currents conflict with the spirits
Ah do ya' hear it ah or do ya' feel it?
Deep like seven leagues life intrigues intelligence
Got no time for clutter, you're late if there's hesitance
Put your foot forward and there will be a helping hand
Take a step back and your stuck in the quick sand
Ingesting toxins keeps us locked in, a mental jail trap
99' where's your family at
Oh, and I might fail
Oh, I might succeed
Whatever the outcome is
Just keep your faith in me
Just believe in me
