Sicario

On July 22, 1992 Pablo Escobar – the feared leader of the notorious Medellin Cartel - simply walked out of the Envigado prison. The latter was a luxurious facility that he had essentially designed for himself and a selection of his most trusted henchmen.


Free from even the minimal restrictions of the Envigado, Escobar was intent on continuing with role as the world's preeminent drug trafficker. This he would do with practiced and unrestrained violence.


For the United States Government, it was the last of very many straws.


Intent upon ending his savage reign for all time, the decision-makers in Washington threw everything they had into the mix to find him and finish him...


... to include a covert Special Activity known as The Org.
