Michael Westen en voix off, épisode 515

VO : There's nothing quite like searching the home of someone you care about for evidence they betrayed you. It's something spies have to do regularly, even with people they love the most. It's never easy searching for something as hard as you can and praying you find nothing at all.

VO : One of the few businesses that still makes house-calls is black market technology vendors. When someone is paying a lot of cash for illegal weapon's system components they expect full service. And when your customer will settle any issues with a bullet to the head, it's a good idea to show up in person.

VO : There is a fine art to making an electrical malfunction look spectacular and yet not do any real damage, especially when you're dealing with a deadly missile. The trick is to overload a non-explosive component like the motherboard. Replacing resistors with plain copper wire will amplify the current, overload the circuit and result in some impressive but relatively harmless fireworks.

VO : It's always difficult eavesdropping on someone you know well or worse someone you care about. The closer you are to them, the worse it feels to listen in on their private moments. Harder still is spying on someone you love who blatantly betrayed you.

VO : Spies are surprisingly good recyclers. The ability to repurpose items in the field can often mean the difference between life and death. A broken eyepiece from a microscope can make the perfect disguise for a rifle site. And a computer with a fried motherboard can house the magazine of an M-4 rifle. It's not exactly separating your bottles and cans; but, it'll keep trash out of the land-fill and possibly keep you out of the morgue.

VO : In any secure facility the biggest vulnerabilities tend to be at the lowest salary level. A company that will spend tens of thousands of dollars checking out senior staff will often hire janitors and window washers for nine bucks an hour after a 20 minute interview. Getting hired is usually not too difficult, and it's even easier to pay someone a couple grand to hand over a uniform and leave town.

VO : For a spy the first step after identifying your enemy and finding his base of operations is listening in on his communications. This can be as simple as planting a bug in his phone or as complex as breaking into a military grade encrypted radio. Higher security makes the job harder, but it comes with a silver lining: the tougher the security, the more valuable the information it's protecting. If you an break in, you can be pretty sure it's going to be worth it.

VO : An electrified fence can't protect from someone who had no need to breech it. When you have a network of gas pipes that run across property lines, a well place block of C4 on a gas main outside the fence can cause an explosive chain reaction inside whatever compound that fence is protecting.
