My name is Andrew Bustamante, and this is everyday espionage.

Freedom! Freedom. Freedom. Freedom. The spy business, we call espionage the gentleman's game.

Soldiers fight and thieves steal, but spies have to do both in a way that makes it look like we are doing neither.

And covert operations have been around as long as human history, right?

Ancient tribes used to sneak into areas controlled by other tribes to steal tools, food, even women and children.

Egyptian hieroglyphs actually tell stories of spies

working for and against pharaohs and priests, hunting for traitors or sabotaging empires

from the inside. And every major war, from the Napoleonic War to current conflicts in Syria, Yemen, and Libya,

have all relied on intelligence operations to help ensure success.

But where traditional military operations are direct and visible, covert operations must be indirect and remain undetected.

And it is really, really hard to change history and shape international events without getting

caught.

And so that's why we call espionage a gentleman's game.

It's a game played with smiles and secrets instead of bullets and tanks.

Because when you win the espionage game, no one has to shoot and no one has to die.

No one even has to know that you won.

One thing every CIA officer has in common is our intensely competitive nature.

We just don't like to lose. It doesn't

matter whether you're an analyst, an operative, an accountant, or a nurse. The idea of losing just

makes your skin crawl. So CIA gives us all the skills we need to win, skills that I've been

sharing with you for the past five seasons.

But they also give us some really interesting insight into how people lose.
