Bogota

Rebels claw at Bogota's edges, snatching five DEA agents from a dust-whipped road snaking out toward Puente Mayo's jungle chokehold—headlights stab shadows as hoods swallow screams, badges glinting into oblivion. Iron-barred prisons clamp Juan Aguilar tight within the urban sprawl, Affronte's bellowed demand for his release spiking White House dread. Tension crackles through concrete canyons where government steel braces against cartel firestorms, every convoy a gamble, every cell a powder keg fueling midnight Oval Office ultimatums.
