The episode opens with Michelle Gomez's own voice, describing in meticulous detail how she knows everything about a target before she shows up — their favorite color, their pet's name, their nickname, their daily habits [1] — Michelle Gomez "Michelle Gomez doesn't improvise — she arrives knowing her target's favorite color, dog's name, and daily routine.

Mariana then formally introduces Michelle as a skip tracer and private investigator whom Wired magazine has called 'the world's best bounty hunter,' with over two decades of taking on cases that law enforcement, collection agencies, and other investigators have given up on. The two quickly reveal the case that connected them: a Belgian man referred to as 'Mr. Belgium' who contacted Mariana after losing close to $1 million to a fraudster posing as the 'Prince of Dubai,' who had relocated to San Antonio, Texas, and was swindling people across Miami and beyond. Michelle was already at the center of that investigation, which is how the two women found each other.
Michelle Gomez doesn't improvise — she arrives knowing her target's favorite color, dog's name, and daily routine. Total pre-operation intelligence is what separates elite skip tracers from everyone else.
Wired magazine named Michelle Gomez 'the world's best bounty hunter' after journalist Randall Sullivan wrote about her work tracking down Ryan Eugene Mullen.
Mark, a Belgian citizen referred to as 'Mr. Belgium,' lost close to $1 million to Alex Georges Janous, the fraudster posing as a Dubai prince, which brought both Mariana and Michelle onto the case.
Michelle has spent over two decades proving that people always leave digital traces, financial breadcrumbs, and location blips. The fantasy of truly disappearing is just that — a fantasy. Everyone has a pattern, and patterns always give them away.
Michelle began building her professional network in the repossession industry in the year 2000, over a decade before she became a licensed PI in 2014.
Michelle's parents were IBM engineers who had their kids solder motherboards before they were teenagers. That instinct to figure out how systems work — without needing the manual — became the blueprint for tracking people who disappear.
