The actions of Javier Pena and Steve Murphy were used as inspiration for the hit Netflix show, Narcos, which dives into the story of Columbia’s infamous drug cartels and Pablo Escobar’s fight to stay at the top. 

Capturing Pablo – An Evening with Javier Pena & Steve Murphy will see Pena and Murphy discuss the rise and fall of the Medellin Cartel, and how they managed to bring down its leader. Including exclusive stories and images not seen before, the event will give Narcos fans and those interested in Escobar the opportunity to hear first-hand from the two men who were key in his capture. 

Pena and Murphy were part of the largest and most complex high profile investigation of their time. Working with an elite Colombian Task Force, this was the first time an entire international drug cartel was taken down and completely dismantled.
