Boyd Holbrook: Steve Murphy

Quotes 

• Steve Murphy : I read in a book somewhere about a rich guy goes broke. When he's asked how it happened, how he had lost everything, he answered: "Slowly at first. And then... all at once." For Pablo Escobar, "all at once" had finally come. His empire in shambles, his army all dead or in jail, Escobar did the one thing he could still do: a disappearing act.

• Trujillo : What do you want, Lugo? Money? Visa?

  Steve Murphy : It don't work that way, bud. No visa, no money, you understand?

  Lugo : Is that what he thinks? That everyone wants to go to the United States? I don't want anything. All I want is for this to end soon and you to understand the family is in pain. Find him and kill him.

• Steve Murphy : [narrating]  Best way to make a bad story go away is to come up with a better story and sell it hard. This is one of the cornerstones of American foreign policy, and one we learned through years of trial and error in Latin America, Chile, Guatemala, Panama. Getting caught with your pants down sucks, but if at the same time you give the folks a big win, like, say, dismantling the second biggest drug cartel in the world, well, then nobody's paying attention to the bad story. They're too busy patting you on the back. Risky plan? Yes. But pressure will force you to take risks. It'll force you to do a lot of things.

• Steve Murphy : [narrating]  Los Pepes had knocked Pablo out of the narco business and that had created a vacancy for a new cocaine king of Medellín. Or, depending on who you asked, maybe a queen.
