One more thing. While you're in there, phone a friend, write an email, update your facebook status. I honestly don't care, as long as you remember what really matters here. I don't get what I want, and your brother dies.

You're not this good. Nobody is this good!
Yes, I am.
So, Randall's off to party in Cancún with my client's money.
Look at the bright side, Fi: you weren't killed.
Oh, please. If a nuisance like Randall can kill me then I deserve it.
[Voiceover] When you're being followed by the police, it's important to remember that having cops around is a problem for criminals, but it's an even bigger problem for a detective trying to remain inconspicuous on a stakeout.
[Voiceover] Finding a way into a criminal organization is about observing social dynamics. You start with a target. You're looking for just the right person to approach. People in the inner circle are usually too tough to go after. Anyone with real power is bound to be cautious. Drivers and bodyguards are easier, but they usually don't have real access. You want someone with enough juice to be hungry for more; someone desperate to make a move. In short, you're looking for a frustrated middle manager.
[Voiceover] To the educated eye, a prison tat tells a story: where you did time, why you did time, and who you did it with. It's a little like a job resumé for criminals.
You ask me, there's something wrong with the world when we don't hang traitors anymore. It doesn't seem right.
Why can't you be with me on this?
Talking to you is like talking to Spencer. You're both so focused on one thing it clouds everything else. It's a crazy way to live, Michael.
I am like Spencer. We both see the world in a certain way and we both have skills to make it a better place. That's not a bad thing. I don't want to keep talking about this, so let me be straight with you. This job, what we just did, saving American lives. This is the type of work I was made for, Fi. It's what my old job gave me the chance to do every single day, so no. Getting back in isn't just a way to survive to protect the people I love. It's what I want. And if you truly care about me you should damn well want for me what I want for myself.
If that's what you want. I'll be with you. I'll be with you.
Wow. That's like two days worth of yogurt.
Either that's a brilliantly disguised bomb or somebody knows the way to your heart.
I know a guy, goes by Beck. He might be able to help. He's made a lot of money for some very powerful people over there. If there's a Ukrainian in town, he'll be able to fill you in.
Based in Miami?
Mmhmm. Started as local gangster, went big time. He hijacks cargo and ships it. Like FedEx, the Kalashnikov set. He's about as connected as a Miami hustler who can't speak Russian can get.
Think you can get me a meeting?
You might not want me as your go-between. I may have intercepted a couple of his shipments once. Sparkling new P-90s, Michael. They deserved a good home.
Sam, let me remind you you're sleeping in my guestroom. All right, you call me or God as my witness I will smother you in your sleep.
All right, all right! We'll call!
That guy is more afraid of Checik than he is of us. We're going to have to squeeze him harder.
If by squeeze you mean choke...
He can't talk if he can't breathe, Fi.
He can whisper. I have good hearing.
You don't even know this Strickler. What makes you think he has this kind of clout?
Well that's what I need to figure out. Can we talk about something else?
No. We're cooking at my place, I get to choose the topic of conversation. You seriously think he's going to wave his magical spy wand and get you back in?
It's a little more complicated than that, Fi.
Well, in my experience, if something seems too good to be true, it's best to shoot it just in case.
[speaking to 13-year-old boy, Joey, in Fiona's apartment] You're going to tell us your mom's name at some point. Unless you're planning on living here.
I don't recommend it. I can only cook a few things and the air conditioning is iffy.
I told the kid I would help. If you want to sit this one out, you can.
No, no. I get it. Little kid, abusive dad, it kind of hits home, so I'll give you that one. But when the time comes to rescue a bunch of rich women trapped in a brewery, you better step up. So she's in there with Fiona?
Yeah. The idea was that she'd feel more comfortable talking to a woman.
I'm not sure if Fi counts, Mike.
