Plot[]
Chance follows Ames after she 'borrowed' some of Guerrero's tools, and confronts her after she and Brody Rivera (J. D. Pardo) steal explosives. When Rivera delivers the explosives to Mr. Markus, he's presented the score of a lifetime, steal three massive diamonds, but they need Ames for the heist. After they leave, Ames calls Chance and asks for help. Chance infiltrates the team by pretending to be Mr. Chicago, while Guerrero intercepts the real Chicago. The team breaks into the museum. Chance takes out the members of the team, including Yuri, another cleaner. Rivera spots him and drives off with the van, but Ames lifted the diamonds off him. Markus phones Ames telling her to bring the diamonds to the train station or Rivera dies. She places the diamonds in a locker, and after Markus leaves with them he gives Rivera's location. Winston, Guerrero stop him and the real Mr. Chicago drives off with Markus. Rivera is sitting on a bomb with a pressure switch; Chance tackles him off the bench clear of the explosion. Pucci admits that Ames is loyal and accepts her back on the team.
