How familiar are you with Manuel Diaz's operation? His company, Sun Oasis, has 80 or so foreclosure properties. He has other legitimate businesses. Um... But he's rumored to be linked with one of the Mexican cartels. BURNETT: Manuel Diaz works for the Sonora Cartel. He's most likely their senior member in the United States. MATT: What do you know about his brother? I wasn't aware he had one. Guillermo. His brother's name is Guillermo. Do you know anything about his cousin? I didn't know he had one of those either. None of that is in his file. His cousin is Fausto Alarcon. I don't know who that is. No one does. He's off the grid. BURNETT: He's number three in the Sonora Cartel. This is not my department, sir. Like I said, Agent Macer doesn't work narcotics. She runs a kidnap response team. Are you married?
