Part 9/13:
Surprising Encounters and Personal Reflections
Throughout the interview, Suarez shares surprising anecdotes—such as operations run entirely by women, who were highly armed and formidable—and confesses that some cartel members, despite their criminal backgrounds, could be "nice" and even victims of circumstances themselves.
He also reflects on the internal conflicts law enforcement faces—balancing the need for intense undercover work with the personal toll it takes. Suarez admits to the emotional strain of maintaining secret identities, being away from family for long periods, and sometimes sympathizing or feeling conflicted about the individuals he encountered on the other side of the law.
