Simon question (uncovered spoilers)


I'm sorry if this was really obvious, and I just missed it, but...
who did get Simon out? was it Barrett(Robert Patrick)? Gilroy facilitated it, but he had a boss, someone hired him, and Barrett is the only one I can think of, that he wanted Simon out, so he could decipher the NOC list...

and it was Barrett who hired Kendra to wipe out the guys who failed to steal Simon's Bible, right? again, with the goal of getting Simon out, decoding the list, and going after/killing the members of Management's group, which seemed to be a rival of Barrett's (which was presented to be more about gaining money and power for Barrett, than any higher 'noble cause' of 'doing the jobs legit/gov't intelligence agencies won't touch' of Management & James' groups)

there was a time when I thought Simon had gotten himself out, but it's doubtful he could've worked that out from whatever hole he was in...was it the/a government that had him (when we first meet him)? or was it Management? I thought it was Management, since he was their operative who went rogue, then they captured him, and pinned his deeds on Mike to burn him

thank you for reading, I love this show, and I want to make sure I understand and appreciate it fully

Simon paid Gilroy 10 million to help him escape. Simon's plan was to escape, kill Gilroy and go after Michael then go after management/Anson.

I think Simon and Barrett may have been working together, but that was mostly implied. Barrett seemed involved more but hewas always good at keeping evidence trails to him.
