Cale

Coast Guard Commander Cale commands the nocturnal frenzy at San Diego Harbor, radios backup teams Romero and Rydell as helicopters thunder overhead and emergency swarms engulf the docked container ship Horizon—packed with 100 refugees from Fujian Province. He briefs INS Agent Joseph Russo with clipped urgency, confirms State Department alerts, locks in Mandarin translators, yet presses relentlessly on expedited removal only to clash against evasion. Pivoting to White House Situation Room hotline, Cale thrusts harbor interdiction into national crosshairs, his troubled resolve channeling frontline chaos through institutional layers toward Oval Office reckoning.
