Michael: (voice-over) There's no way to anticipate every danger. You need a backup plan for when things go wrong. That's why home port advantage is so important.
(edit)
Michael: (voice-over) If you can't get through a door without attracting attention, the next best thing is to attract a lot of attention. Once everyone is looking at the door wondering what's going on, you can pop in a flash grenade and they won't see anything for a while.
(edit)
Michael: (voice-over) Running a double agent is a relationship; there's a give and take. Mostly take, but sometimes you have to give.
(edit)
Michael: (voice-over) GPS devices are becoming more and more common these days. Mostly they are for nervous parents tracking their children. But they are perfectly good for other uses.
(edit)
Michael: (voice-over) From Karachi to Bogotá, every kidnapper's favorite resource is a corrupt employee. An employee can handle alarms, police, you can get financial information, bank accounts, you've even got a fall guy if anything goes wrong. To a professional kidnapper, a good man on the inside is worth a lot… and a bad man on the inside is worth even more.
(edit)
Trivia: Halliburton is an oil-services company that also provides construction and military support services.

Hard BargainSuperb "Pivotal" This is the most humanizing episode of the series so far. Michael has to deal with ruthless kidnappers and with a bureaucrat's offer that seems too good to be true. In other words, tread lightly. Continue » Posted Sep 13, 2007 9:00 pm PST |

Hard BargainSuperb "Cleverly plotted" This week we learn how to find the complacent side of a spy, how to make two more explosive compounds and how great our tolerance for really stupid people is. I was completely unprepared for the ending. Continue » Posted Aug 25, 2007 9:43 pm PST |
