Boyd Holbrook: Steve Murphy

Quotes 

• Steve Murphy : [narrating]  Life goes on, right? And for Escobar, that was a pretty good thing. He remained at large, protected by an army of sicarios, in a city that refused to give him up. Pablo kept his lawyers working overtime, continuing to negotiate his surrender with Colombian Attorney General De Greiff. But it was bullshit. Why surrender when you're holding all the cards? He was free.

• Steve Murphy : [narrating]  Martinez was right, we all need a method. Something to cling to when the shit around us gets so deep, we might go under. Something to guide us home when we feel we've lost our way. If we're lucky, someone gives us a method, and we follow it. If not, we find our own. Pablo's enemies had found their own method. And it was an ugly one. They had opened up a new war against him, striking from the shadows. Showing him that, even in his hometown, he wasn't safe.

• Steve Murphy : [narrating]  Centra Spike was still busy gathering intel. The brass was still reviewing and approving it. And it was still finding its way to us. But shit man, you can have all the intelligence in the world, but if nobody's there to act on it, what's it worth? Nothing.

• Steve Murphy : [after visiting with Carrillo's widow]  Well, that was rough.

  Connie Murphy : I just kept looking at her, thinking...

  Steve Murphy : Hey. It's not gonna happen to me, it's not gonna happen to us. You want me to come home?

  Connie Murphy : Just make sure you're still you when it's all over.

• [last lines] 

  Steve Murphy : [walking up to a hanged man]  What does it say?

  Steve Murphy : [narrating]  And they weren't fucking around.

  Javier Peña : [reading sign around dead man's neck]  "Your days are numbered, Pablo. No one around you is safe." Signed "Los Pepes."

  Steve Murphy : Who in the hell are Los Pepes?
