Burn Notice (TV Series)

Enemy of My Enemy (2011)

Gabrielle Anwar: Fiona Glenanne

Quotes 

• Fiona Glenanne : He's not going to find that drone staring at those pasty bastards until they're tan.

  Michael Westen : No, but he'll start looking right after the bullets stop flying.

  Fiona Glenanne : [referring to earlier]  Hmm. Allow me. We've already established I'm the better shot...

  [Michael fires a suppressed round hitting his target perfectly. Fiona looks at him] 

  Michael Westen : Cellphone: slightly smaller target than a car tire.

• [first lines] 

  Michael Westen : [narrative]  There's a long tradition of using doubles in espionage. They're mostly used by dictators who want to confuse would-be assassins, but they have other less-common uses, like framing someone for a crime they didn't commit.

  Sam Axe : [pauses tape]  Okay, I know this video is grainy, but from that angle, it sure looks like you.

  Michael Westen : It's not me, Sam.

  Fiona Glenanne : I assume the burner cellphone he's buying made a call from the scene of Max's murder.

  Madeline Westen : Well somebody went to a lot of trouble to do this. Huh. They didn't find this guy sitting at a bus stop.

  Sam Axe : She's right, Mike. This is starting to feel personal.

  Michael Westen : It's been personal since Max bled out in my arms. Since he told me to say goodbye to his wife.

  Madeline Westen : So, what's the plan to keep my son out of prison?

  Sam Axe : We got to track down the fella on this tape. I mean, that's step one in finding Max's killer.

  Fiona Glenanne : Actually, step one is deciding what to do with the bloodhound the CIA sent to replace Max. Pearce knows we have the security footage.

  Michael Westen : I can buy us some time. I'll tell her it's taking a little longer to analyze the footage.

  [cellphone buzzes] 

  Michael Westen : Speak of the devil.

  [Michael answers his phone] 

  Michael Westen : Agent Pearce, right on time. I-... Got it.

  [Michael hangs up] 

  Sam Axe : What's up? She got something new about the murder?

  Michael Westen : No, it wasn't about that. She wants to meet tomorrow morning, 0700. She's got another job for me, high priority at the CIA. Wish me luck.

• ["Serbian arms traders" / "Nasty", second line uncharacteristically appearing above the first] 

  Sam Axe : Look, I sure as hell don't want guys like that hanging onto a Predator drone, but, Mike, it's gonna take an army to get it back.

  Michael Westen : I agree. That's why we need help from someone who *has* an army. We're gonna trick our old friend Carmelo into going after the Serbs.

  Fiona Glenanne : [hushed tones]  Carmelo? As in the second biggest heroin dealer in Miami?

  Michael Westen : He's helped us track down mercenaries before. He's perfect for this.

  Sam Axe : Yeah, but isn't the last thing he said to you, "If I ever see you again, you're dead"?

  Michael Westen : That's why I was hoping *you* could handle the Carmelo thing.

  Fiona Glenanne : Oh, how generous. What is your plan, exactly?

  Michael Westen : We rip off Carmelo and leave Sam behind as a witness to the heist. He questions you. You steer him towards the Serbs. We play it right, he hunts for his heroin and finds our drone instead.

  Fiona Glenanne : And if we don't play it right, we find out if Sam is bulletproof.

  Michael Westen : I know it's dangerous, but if we don't do something, the CIA's source is dead, and some very bad people end up with a really dangerous weapon.

  [Sam lets out a silent sigh] 

  Michael Westen : Sam, I'll understand if you...

  Sam Axe : [gets up]  No. You're right. That's the play.

  [Michael nods] 

  Fiona Glenanne : All right. I'll go find us a heroin shipment.

• Michael Westen : [narrative]  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 guys who might be operating in their area.

  [Fiona taps on the back of...] 

  Sugar : [turns, smiles]  Fiona!

  ["Sugar" / "Drug dealer"] 

  Sugar : [with a friendly "Get lost!" expression]  Now is not a good time.

  Fiona Glenanne : Oh, now's good.

  Sugar : Ladies, this is Fiona.

  Sugar's Girl : Hi.

  Fiona Glenanne : She's a very dear firend who would never dream of interrupting this magical time we're all having together.

  Fiona Glenanne : Oh, of course not. If you have found some friends that are okay with your medical condition, I wouldn't dream of imposing.

  [Sugar chuckles nervously] 

  Sugar's Girl : Um... "medical condition"?

  Fiona Glenanne : It's not a big deal, really. There are plenty of ways to manage the symptoms: there's, uh, ointments, gels, creams, suppositories...

  Sugar : She's joking. She actually has a very dark, twisted sense of humor.

  Sugar's Girl : Um, yeah, I think we're actually gonna leave.

• Michael Westen : [narrative]  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.

  Fiona Glenanne : [sighs]  I can't believe the boys get to go up against heroin pushers and arms traffickers and I'm here stuck in the County Clerk's office... in these earrings.

  Madeline Westen : Hey, I love those earrings. And we're here to keep your boyfriend out of jail.

• [watching Carmelo's crew attack the Serbs] 

  Jesse Porter : Damn, it's like one of those nature documentaries where a snake eats the other snake. I can never watch those.

  Fiona Glenanne : Really? I love those.
