Juggling 2 identities: Mormon bishop and FBI agent

Fighting drug cartels, then counseling couples having trouble in their marriage -- that was a day in the life of an FBI agent who moonlighted as a Mormon bishop. He says it was a call of duty to his country and God.

An extortion case bust turned violent and FBI Agent Mike McPheters fired off a deadly shot.

"He fired first, it went over my shoulder and I returned fire and I shot him… My round went through his heart, lodged in his spine," says McPheters. "Yeah I was responsible for his life being taken. I never had any remorse. It either would have been him or me."

Throughout his life, McPheters juggled two identities -- one inside the Mormon temple and the other out in the field.
