The Colombian and American governments have not been doing enough to save his wife, who is only an innocent scientist. This has caused a rift between the two countries, and the General no longer entertains Prince and Bambi’s requests to be involved with the mission.
Prince’s antics on television have caused the army’s planned mission to go fruitless. Prince tries to bribe a General with a paid position in Haas Industries, an endeavor of his father’s, and he agrees to greenlight an operation. Periera expresses his disappointment to Bambi with what happened. They broke his trust, according to him. Violeta Matiz airs an interview with Bambi on a national scale that both the rebels and Amber listen to. ..
Graciela believes that bringing Matiz to the camp will garner national attention and help their cause. Her girlfriend reluctantly agrees. Matiz makes an overnight journey into the camp blindfolded. The Commandante meets with her and asks her to help them identify the real purpose of why Amber came to Colombia. ..
Matiz meets Amber and tells her that she is an agent and will help her get out of this. Amber’s response coincides with a montage that shows the Colombian army and the American duo getting ready to ambush the camp. Actually, Bambi did the interview to tail Matiz and gain her confidence. She has led them to the camo and Amber says “they will kill them all” when Violeta gets ready to leave, the Commandment orders the soldiers to take her captive too.
A group of rebels break through the army’s lines and head for the river. The soldiers intercept them, but as they do, a sniper shoots one of the rebels. Periera approves the kill and orders his men to fire on the others. The rebels are surrounded and can’t escape.
Graciela’s girlfriend texts one of their associates in the city “it is time” and the man escapes the pub placing a bomb there. Moments later, it goes up in flames and Periera gets orders from the top to withdraw their position and allow the rebels a pass-through. The rebels threaten to unleash more bombs throughout the city and more civilian casualties force the government’s hand. The rebels rejoice as the American duo watches on helplessly. ..
The General orders his team to move in and start shooting. However, Periera knows that the rebels are using the vehicles to move around and avoid being shot. He orders his snipers to take down as many of the rebels as possible before they can escape. Prince takes up a position on top of the fort, ready to shoot any rebels that come across him.
The rebels have a new plan to take out the snipers. They use sheets to cover themselves so the snipers can’t see who is under the sheets. Prince is forced into action on the ground to manually check the sheets. He finally finds Amber and shoots down Graciela’s girlfriend. Unknown to him, a rebel was hiding in the back of the truck and wounds him. Graciela and other reinforcements soon arrive to push back the soldiers.
As the screen goes black, we see Prince lying on the ground, screaming and terrified. Amber watches in horror as she is taken away, and Bambi anxiously awaits facing the tough situation. Suddenly, the screen goes blank and signals “the end of Part I”.
The Episode Review
The highly skilled operators always miss out on the lone ranger hiding in plain sight. This happens every single time. When Prince held Amber in his arms, there was no doubt that she will be taken again. Prince has most probably survived the attack. Huisman is too good an artist to leave out so early in the season.
With episode 3, the story seems to be coming to a close. There was no indication from the producers or executives that the series is divided like this. However, part 1 has seen two failed rescue missions and important casualties that will fuel the upcoming parts. But where does the story go from here? Given Boal’s history of work, there is a high possibility we will see the more political side of things in part 2. ..
Echo 3 is a thrilling adventure that takes you on a journey into the heart of Colombian rebel groups. You’ll explore their strongholds and meet their leaders, all while trying to stay alive and out of harm’s way. There’s always something exciting in store for you, so be prepared for some intense action and excitement.
This time, the stakes are high. Who will come out on top?
