VO : There's a long tradition of using doubles in espionage. They're mostly used by dictators who wanna confuse would be assassins. But they have other less common uses like framing someone for a crime they didn't commit.

VO : For a spy one of the most useful contacts in the criminal underworld is the small time drug dealer. Their work demands that they stay informed about their rivals, their suppliers, the police and any other bad guy who might be operating in their area.

VO : The key to robbing an armed transport is to stop the vehicle without putting the guards on the defensive. Shooting a tire can cause a blowout without arousing suspicion. But, it takes a gifted sniper to hit a target moving forty miles per hour.

VO : Staging a scene is one of the most important deception tactics in espionage. You're telling a story – arranging evidence for someone to discover so they will believe what you want them to believe. If it works there's nothing like it. If it doesn't work, well, it's good to be nearby with a sniper rifle.

VO : For a spy there's no greater victory than successfully inserting an asset into a hostile organization. Of course it's a little hard to celebrate that victory when hostile organization is a bunch of trigger happy drug deals and the asset is your best friend.

VO : The first moments of an infiltration are crucially important. That's when you're establishing yourself – what you know about them, what they know about you and most importantly how useful you're going to be. If the target decides you're useful your in. If they you're not useful, you're dead.

VO : Establishing a cover as a drug addict isn't glamorous but it has its advantages. People don't expect addicts to be rational so they don't question their motives. Nothing explains an unwanted intrusion quite like the impression that you're high as a kite.

VO : Not all of the intelligence spies use is stolen or even secret. When the information you need involves a lot of data, like searching for a single face in the population of Miami, what you really need is access to the right database – which is usually behind the counter at the closest government agency.

VO : The most advanced computer is worse at identifying faces than a newborn baby. Unless a photo is taken straight on under direct lighting facial recognition software is nearly worthless. Fortunately, drivers license photos are taken straight on under direct lighting for exactly that reason.

VO : Navigation systems combine data from traffic helicopters, police scanners and road sensors to estimate the driving time along your route. But compiling all that data creates a time lag. There is still no quicker way to get across town than being guided by somebody who has access to real time satellite imagery.

VO : For a spy, sneaking into the middle of a gun battle to pull someone out is one of the less popular assignments. It's mostly about timing. Go in too early and you have both sides shooting at you. Go in too late and, well, you're too late.
