At least not really in the movies. Infiltrating an opposing faction is fraught with danger, and getting out alive can become a full-time task unto itself. Whatever idealism the hero starts with is slowly reduced down to sheer survival, as even the most useful spies tend to become liabilities for the agencies who assigned them to their job. It's the kind of lesson that you can only genuinely learn once it's already too late. There's always that point when the character knows those who in that so deeply, they could no longer have seen the surface, and it's usually followed by such a point when they know it's exactly where they're supposed to end up. No one is looking out for them, because the state only looks out for itself. And the story of The Bridges of Madison County older siblings Michael and Carolyn Johnson arrive at their recently deceased mother, Francesca's Iowa farmhouse to settle her fortune. They are surprised upon finding that Francesca requested to be cremated and her ashes spread from Roseman Covered Bridge, rather than burial next to her late husband, Richard. Michael first refuses, but while he and Carolyn look through the safe deposit box, they discover an envelope containing images, letters, and a key. The images are of Francesca taken at the Holliwell Covered Bridge and the letters are from a man named Robert Kincaid. The key is to Francesca's locked hope chest. In it are three hardbound notebooks. There are also various National Geographic magazines, including one depicting Madison County's covered wooden bridges, old cameras, a book, and other souvenirs. The magazine features a portrait of Kincaid, who shot the bridges; he is wearing Francesca's crucifix pendant.
