, played by Jeffrey Donovan
. The voice-over commentary is in the form of tips for fledgling agents as if for a training or orientation film.
After fleeing a blown operation in Nigeria
and being kidnapped and beaten, Westen finds himself in his hometown of Miami, Florida. He is tended to by his ex-girlfriend, Fiona Glenanne
, but he has been abandoned by all his normal intelligence contacts and is under continuous surveillance
with his personal assets frozen. Extraordinary efforts to reach his U.S. government handler eventually yield only a grudging admission that someone powerful wants him "on ice" in Miami. If he leaves there, he will be hunted down and taken into custody; whereas, if he stays, he can remain relatively free. Consumed by the desire to find out why he has been burned, and by whom, Westen is reluctantly drawn into working as an unlicensed private investigator
and problem solver for ordinary citizens to fund his personal investigation into his situation as a blacklisted agent.
Westen invites his old friend Sam Axe
to assist him, while Fiona invites herself to join them. With the occasional assistance and sometimes hindrance of his mother, Madeline
, Westen battles an array of such criminal figures as mobsters
, con artists, arms traffickers, kidnappers

Eventually, Sam and Jesse are able to reclaim the list, and decide to give the list to Marv (Richard Kind

), one of Michael's old foes. Now in possession of the list, Brennen hires another of Michael's enemies, "Dead" Larry Sizemore (Tim Matheson
), to help track down the people on the list. Instead, Larry kills Brennen, which signals Michael's betrayal to Vaughn. Vaughn returns to Miami to have Michael, Fiona, and Jesse killed. However, Sam and Madeline are able to track down a congressman (John Doman

However, while pursuing the final man on the list, they discover that the man is dead, leaving many mysteries unsolved, perhaps forever.
