Albuquerque, New Mexico (detention site — S01E18)

Albuquerque, New Mexico registers here as the offstage site where field agents hold Mr. Kleeg, a remote locus translated into clipped updates and operational gravity. The city functions less as landscape and more as procedural fact: detention rooms and street grids implied through terse radio reports, agent briefings, and confidentiality constraints. Its invocation snaps security teams into urgent motion, hardening abstract threat into concrete custody and anchoring the Secret Service’s tactical and ethical tensions.
