Javier Peña & Steve Murphy

The Delve with Mike Sheridan

The two men considered instrumental in the downfall of the Medellin cartel and its leader, the charismatic but vicious Pablo Escobar, have been touring the world, giving lectures to dispel any myths about the Columbian drug lord.

Steve Murphy and Javier Pena were immortalised in the hugely popular Netflix series, Narcos. The men were played Boyd Holbrook and Pedro Pascal and the show's popularity saw interest in Escobar soar.
