Following a short career in local law enforcement, he enrolled in the DEA's training program. His first assignment was in Miami, where he worked with Kevin Brady, where they were mostly going after young marijuana users. Following the death of Brady at the hands of La Quica during a failed sting against Hermann Zapata. Murphy then accepted a transfer to Bogota. The former DEA agent then became involved in the successful manhunt for narcotics kingpin Pablo Escobar, with Javier Peña.
