Quotes

Michael: (voice-over) Eavesdropping and fieldwork go hand-in-hand. You wanna know what your target is saying, what he's typing into his computer. But technology can't work miracles: bugs don't plant themselves. Fact is, even the fanciest equipment usually needs help from a good old-fashioned crowbar. (edit)
Michael: (voice-over) A good cover identity keeps the target feeling in control: you talk too much, drink too much just to let him know he's got the edge. (edit)
Michael: (voice-over) I don't like running from cops, but it has its advantages: it builds your credibility with a criminal when you flee a crime scene. (edit)
Michael: (voice-over) When you go after a spy, you send another spy. The same goes for con artists. To catch one you got to beat him at his own game: be a better liar than he is. (edit)
Michael: (voice-over) You can't choose your intelligence sources. Might be a heroin smuggler, a dictator... or your mom. (edit)
