Burn Notice Season 6 Episode 12

Michael: (voice-over) As a spy, your job is often to get people to break the rules. You use their greed, their fear, or their rage to make them betray the things they value most. With a professional spy pushing them hard, most people abandon their principles. But sometimes, very occasionally, they won't. And when a target decides to stick to his principles, you can suddenly find a mission going very, very badly.

Madeline: Do you have a hard time getting close to people? Bad childhood? Is that why Card picked you? 'Cause you like hurting people?
Tyler: He picked me because I'm very good at what I do.
Madeline: Then why did my son die... if you're so good?
Tyler: I was worried about the wind, speed, trajectory, distance. And so I switched to a higher-caliber gun. I-I knew it would go through. I took the shot anyway. It was my job.
Madeline: Did you even know who he was?
Tyler: No.
Madeline: He was my baby boy. He liked cars, action movies, and graphic design. He loved his family. His name was Nathaniel Elias Westen. The next time you fire a bullet that could end someone's life, you know their name.
Tyler: Yes, ma'am. I'm sorry.

Michael: (voice-over) The two most challenging parts of planting a listening device are quick concealment and power. If your target wears a radio for work, you can kill two birds with one stone by bugging a duplicate power pack and switching them out. Do it right, and you get a bug that your target carries everywhere he goes.

Michael: (voice-over) When posing as a hard-core criminal, the key is to come on strong. You sit in the power position in the room and take up as much space as possible. And you never, ever show any respect for the police.

Michael: (voice-over) Most late-model washing machines spin at speeds of over 1,200 rpms and create more than 100 g's of force. That's more than enough to rip off your finger or pull a curtain rod through a couple layers of drywall.
