Well said, Jordan.

Thank you for keeping it real.

I also just want to point out that her subjective experience of this relationship might be that it's not too much for me to handle or the risk really is not that high.

I'm okay.

But what would happen if the landlord evicted both of them?

And then she has an eviction on her record because he went ham on the wife and they don't want that person on their property, understandably.

And she stays with him or she breaks up with him, but now she has an eviction on her record because she was associated with a person like this.

This is not just about the emotional chaos, which is significant.

There are also some very real practical risks that I don't know if she's fully appreciating.

I've been covering the cartel for many years now.

And I sort of wanted to do a story about cartel presence in the U.S.

And once we started researching it, I realized that actually the story should be about all the things that we don't know about cartel presence in the U.S., including the fact that they're in small-town America.

So one of our first shoots for that episode was in Georgia.

And we started with a murder investigation of this woman named

who was tortured and they cut off her fingers and then eventually killed her.

And she was killed by the cartel.

And it was in the middle of nowhere in Georgia.

And then we followed the investigation and, yeah, realized that they're everywhere and particularly like to operate in small-town America.

Less law enforcement, easier to hide the drugs and have their distribution networks.

You know what was so interesting about that story is that in order to get access to the cartel in the U.S., we actually had to go down to Mexico and gain permission and have them say yes.
