The Infiltratoris based on the memoir of Robert Mazur, which accounts his personal experiences working undercover.
The adaptation is written by Elle Brown Furman and directed by Brad Furman.
Mazur’sbook never mentions any sort of burn or option for early retirement.
Again, there’s no account of this ever happening in Mazur’s memoir.
He spent the other three years working on various other cases and managed to retire from law enforcement unscathed.
However, Mazur still conceals his identity from the internet at risk of threats from the cartel.

I had volunteered to go to Colombia with my team.
Our bosses said it was too dangerous.
I had been invited many times, and I was getting tired of saying no.
But I was dealing with the men that were dealing with him directly.”
Set in the 1980s, the film delves into the intricate world of crime and corruption.
