Javier Peña joined the DEA in 1984 and started working in Bogotá, Colombia in 1988. There, he participated with his partner, Steve Murphy, in the successful manhunt for Pablo Escobar.

George Jacob Jung, nicknamed "Boston George" and "El Americano", was a cocaine kingpin who specialized in smuggling drugs from Colombia to the United States in the 1970s and early 1980s. His story was made famous in the film, Blow. On Escobar, Jung says, "Pablo was only not a gentleman if you betrayed him. You know, there's not a very wide gap between goodness and badness. Who's to say who's really good and who's bad?"
Ambassador Morris D. Busby has spent his career as an American diplomat, serving as United States Ambassador to Columbia from 1991 to 1994. Busby steered the effort to track down Escobar after his prison escape. He celebrated the death of Escobar, but understood that his demise created a vacuum that would easily be filled by the Cali Cartel. On Escobar's personality, Ambassador Busby says, "Escobar was this schizophrenic character who was a murderous thug, monstrous person. And yet he had a real affection for his own family. He was kinda like an axe murderer that likes puppies."
