Steve Murphy in “Unfinished Business”

Steve Murphy

[voiceover] One of the sicarios caught after Lara Bonilla's assassination confessed that Pablo had put out the hit. An important politician had been murdered and everyone knew who did it. Finally, the Colombian government had to react. Pablo Escobar was indicted for the murder of Rodrigo Lara Bonilla. Colombia agreed to the one thing narcos feared most: extradition. Now any Colombian who smuggled drugs to America could be prosecuted and jailed in the US, even if they never stepped foot on our soil. This made all the difference in the world. If you were a narco in Colombia, jail time meant banging girls, watching movies, hanging with the fellas. Grease the right hands and you'd get a reduced sentence for good behavior. It was a fucking joke. Back home, it was a whole different deal. The seventh richest man in the world? No one gives a shit. You still get a 6x8 cell 23 hours a day, just like every other loser, a fucking nightmare. Now Pablo had someone to fear: us.
