Retired DEA agent J. Todd Scott takes us inside his most intense assignment — serving as Assistant Special Agent in Charge in El Paso, Texas, during some of the bloodiest years of cartel violence in Juarez, Mexico. From 21st-century drug trafficking operations to old-school smuggling straight out of the Wild West, Todd saw it all unfold from the front lines of America's border crisis.

Todd reveals what it's really like working drug enforcement in a border city where cartel wars are happening right across the bridge, how he transitioned from DEA headquarters in Washington D.C. to the chaos of the southwest border, and why his time leading complex operations in Phoenix became the career highlight of nearly 30 years in federal law enforcement.

This is real border security — told by the man who lived it.

Retired DEA agent J. Todd Scott went from running undercover operations and dismantling cartel networks to consulting on hit TV shows like Yellowstone. In this episode of Game of Crimes, host Murph sits down with Todd to hear stories that most people only see on screen — the brutal reality of DEA operations in Haiti, the mindset of criminals who think they're smarter than everyone, and how nearly three decades of chasing drug lords shaped one of the most unique voices in true crime storytelling.

Todd's journey from a small-town Kentucky upbringing to the front lines of America's drug war is a masterclass in resilience, strategy, and reinvention.

Murph sits down with one of America's most recognized law enforcement figures, retired Arizona Sheriff Mark Lamb. Go behind the badge as he reveals the gritty reality of policing, his personal journey from business to the front lines of crime, and the untold stories of taking down criminals.

Mark and Murph dive deep into border crime, the psychology of policing, and how Mark balanced raising five children wile fighting a war on crime.

Murph continues his gripping conversation with Seamus McElearney, a former FBI Special Agent fighting organized crime from the inside. This episode dives deeper into the deadliest phase of mob investigations: informants, witness protection, betrayal, and survival.

Seamus pulls back the curtain on the real-world Mafia behind The Sopranos, revealing how the DeCavalcante crime family—the so-called “Sixth Family”—operated in plain sight while federal agents worked tirelessly to dismantle it. He explains why flipping a capo is never as simple as it sounds, how trust becomes a weapon, and why one wrong move can get people killed.

This episode pulls back the curtain on the high-risk world of informants, the fragile trust required to flip a capo, and the relentless challenges of witness protection, where one mistake can cost lives. Seamus also opens up about the personal toll these investigations took on him and his family—and why cooperation between federal, state, and local agencies is essential in taking down organized crime.

Drawing from his book Flipping Capo, Seamus delivers firsthand insight into how the Mafia actually operates, how informants are protected, and why the war against organized crime is far from over.
