Not so many moons ago, we all enjoyed watching Bryan Cranston repeatedly dodge the law to protect his thriving meth operation, while killing every competitor who got in his dusty, desert path. However Breaking Bad ended three years ago, so now we must be content watching him work the other side of the law in the drug-bust thriller, The Infiltrator.

We know, fam.

In The Infiltrator, Cranston plays a federal agent who goes undercover as a money launderer to dismantle Pablo Escobar’s massive drug trafficking empire in the late 1980s. Diane Kruger plays another undercover agent who pretends to be Cranston’s wife because you know, Hollywood. “I sit with murderers and made-men and I lie,” Cranston says threateningly in the trailer. “I lie my ass off.”

Heisenberg has become Hank, and I don’t know how to feel about it.

The Infiltrator is out in the U.S. on July 13.
