A man goes to the CEO of a corporation and accuses them of stealing his invention, and when he presents proof the CEO tries to destroy it. He then orders that the man be taken care of. And when they fail, the man's son calls McCall. McCall checks the CEO out and learns that he may have ties to a terrorist group, so he approaches the man in charge of the group and together they run a game on the CEO.

McCall helps a rookie reporter who suspects her new neighbour of criminal activity. As McCall probes further, he discovers the man may have murderous intentions and is being protected by Control.

When an investigative reporter is abducted, his daughter calls McCall and demands to know where her father is. It seems her father was doing a piece on a country's leader whom the Agency helped get into power, only to have become an oppressor and they want to know who the opposition are. And she claims McCall was the man who helped him get into power. McCall tries to find him but is warned he's going to be stepping on some big toes.
