"Dead" Larry Sizemore ( Tim Matheson) is an old friend and somewhat enemy of Michael. Just before Carla pushes her detonator, she is killed by Fiona with a sniper rifle. From the shore, Carla offers Michael a choice: either take credit for Victor's murder, becoming a "hero" in the eyes of Management and covering up Carla's transgressions or blow up the boat and report that Michael was the one behind the recent upsets. Carla, however, discovers their plan by shooting Victor and trapping him and Michael aboard Victor's houseboat. However, rather than turning him in, Michael decides to team up with him to get Carla taken out of the picture by her superiors, by revealing her abuse of the organization's resources for personal gain. Michael eventually discovers that the man responsible is Victor, a former employee of Carla's who has now gone rogue. Before Michael can work to foil the assassination, someone beats him to the punch by killing the assassin and nearly killing Michael in separate explosions.Īlthough he initially suspects that Carla is responsible, Michael learns that she is just as much in the dark as he is and she orders him to find out who was behind the bombings. Throughout the season, she forces Michael to perform a series of apparently unrelated errands for her, which he eventually learns are part of a planned assassination attempt. In the second season, it is revealed that she ordered that Michael be burned so that she could use him for various black ops. "Carla Baxter" ( Tricia Helfer) is the nom de guerre of a mid-ranking member of a mysterious and seemingly all-powerful shadow government organization called only "Management" that is apparently behind Michael's burn notice. Before he can explain further, he himself is assassinated by a sniper. At the meeting, on a rooftop, Cowan reveals that he did burn Michael, but only on the orders of superiors, who act for ".something much, much bigger than us". Once Michael foils the assassination attempt, Cowan agrees to meet with him at last. He responds by sending a bureaucrat ( Arye Gross) to meet with Michael about the possibility of rescinding his burn notice, but the man proves to be an assassin, instead. Phillip Cowan ( Richard Schiff) is an operative of both the National Security Agency and the shadow organization run by "Management." Cowan is presumably responsible for Michael's burn notice because of false evidence he has gone "rogue." After Michael learns Cowan's identity, he gets his attention by persuading a Libyan spy ( Marshall Manesh) to arrange for the Chief of Libya's secret police to send Cowan a fruit basket. Michael can produce evidence by staking out a meeting between Riley and a cartel kingpin, but a marina guard (working for the cartel) throws a grenade into Bly's car, killing him and incinerating the evidence. Michael refuses the deal, but escalating pressure from Riley - including a cartel hit squad - results in Michael recontacting him with a new plan proving Riley is selling out to the cartel and providing witness testimony. In the season finale, Bly calls Michael and offers him protection as a witness in the investigation to stop the CIA investigation. Bly also tries to get Fiona to sign a confession and attempts to "give her a deal", but Fiona looks very carefully at the evidence Bly presented to her and ultimately rejects his offer of a deal. He also tries to convince Fiona that Michael did not survive an explosion and is "presumably deceased" during his interrogation. In the sixth season, Bly returns as the lead interrogator handling Fiona's case. They exchange respective blackmail files and part ways on good terms. After Michael treats his wound and foils the robbers, the two develop mutual respect. Then Bly shows up at a bank where Michael is there helping the episode's client, and the two are taken hostage by a team of bank robbers and Bly is shot. In the second-season episode " Bad Breaks", Bly returns with enough blackmail material on Michael to force him to hand over Bly's file. Michael finally gets Bly to lay off by creating a file framing him for taking bribes, which he also uses to blackmail him into providing a copy of his classified dossier. In the first season, Bly attempts to coerce Michael into giving up his attempts to return to the intelligence fold by harassing him and threatening his friends and family. Central Security Service Agent Jason Bly ( Alex Carter) is assigned to Michael's case after Michael gained access to his burn notice and his FBI surveillance team is pulled.
