Burn Notice Season 6 Episode 2

Michael: (voice-over) Convincing someone that they're looking at an army that's not there is about the little details, the barrel of a high-powered rifle, combined with the bulkiness of a seatback under a plastic tarp can sell the presence of a team of concealed snipers ready to supply cover fire. A heavily loaded vehicle positioned at a natural choke point gives the impression of an assault team ready to storm a target. And a few well-placed agents with earpieces look just like spotters set to guide an assault team.

Michael: (voice-over) Most survival strategies in prison don't involve making many friends. When it's just about staying alive, you do what you have to.

Michael: (voice-over) Prison, or any confined institutional environment, is just about the worst place possible to make an enemy. The regular schedule means your enemies know where you are every hour of the day, while crowded living conditions mean they can choose the time and place that is best for an attack. Usually, the best thing you can do is stay moving, stay aware, and stay paranoid.

Michael: (voice-over) Going to prison is always a possibility for an operative. When your job involves working outside the law, sometimes it can't be avoided. If you find yourself inside, the first thing to remember is patience. You have to take your time, figure out who the players are, and stay out of trouble as long as you can... because, inevitably, trouble will come to you.

Michael: (voice-over) There are certain people in life you get stuck with, whether you love them, they drive you nuts, or both. They've made you who you are. For most people, it's a coach or a favorite teacher. For a spy, it's his training officer.
