VO : When you're pursuing someone it's tempting to focus exclusively on overtaking the other person. It's often better to force the person you're chasing to go faster than the terrain allows and wait for them to make a mistake. But even when a chase ends you can never assume the other person will give up without a fight.

VO : Interrogating a captive isn't just about what you know about them, it's about what they about you. If they think you're cops they'll behave on way, if they think you're rivals they'll behave another. It's a choice you only get to make once so you have to do your homework and get it right the first time.

VO : A necessary evil that goes along with being a spy is maintaining a relationship with all sorts of unsavory people. Like drug dealers for example. Of course, some friendships are friendlier than others.

VO : The work of a spy doesn't always involve undermining people. Often times the solution to a problem is simply convincing someone to behave like a better human being. But, it may take more than a stern lecture.

VO : The most advanced directional microphones can capture human speech at distances of 200 meters. So long as you have a clear line of sight on your target there's nothing better for eavesdropping on a private conversation.

VO : When tailing someone dangerous it's a good idea to give yourself an innocent sounding reason to be following your target. Most of the time you won't need it but if it turns out your target is on to you – you'll REALLY need it.
