Somehow, this Pablo pep rally speech seemed less inspiring to his sicarios, as they were being kidnapped and tortured to death one by one by Los Pepes in 1993. Many of them rolled over and talked to the police. They saw no light at the end of the tunnel for Escobar, so their loyalty to the crumbling drug empire was nonexistent. There was nothing Pablo hated more than a rat or “sapo”, as he called them, but his entire organization ended up full of them.
