Delta Force 2: The Colombian Connection

During a Rio carnival, DEA agents surveilling a private party are ambushed and massacred by Cota's hitmen masquerading as carnival performers. The brutal assault exposes the cartel's reach and heightens the urgency of taking him down. The incident solidifies the divide between the DEA and San Carlos.

To counter Cota's growing power, the DEA enlists the U.S. Army's Delta Force, aided by an undercover operative within the cartel. The team begins planning a covert infiltration of San Carlos to seize Cota and dismantle his operation. This alliance marks a decisive shift in strategy after Rio.

General Taylor orders Colonel Scott McCoy and Major Bobby Chavez to capture Cota and bring him to court. The mission is framed as an official effort to extradite the cartel boss while minimizing collateral damage. They prepare for undercover operations as part of the plan.

McCoy and Chavez board as airline passengers to capture Cota while he travels to Geneva to deposit drug money. They seize him briefly during a window when the plane crosses U.S. airspace. Despite the success of the capture, Cota posts bail and escapes soon after.

Back on the ground, Cota posts bail and escapes custody. In retaliation, he orders the killing of Chavez's pregnant wife. The personal loss pushes the mission toward direct action.

Chavez, on a personal mission of vengeance, is captured by Cota's forces and subjected to torture before his death. The killing galvanizes McCoy to pursue the cartel with renewed resolve. The incident also escalates the stakes for the rescue operation.

Three DEA agents attempt to advance on Cota's forces to bring him down, but they are captured and slated for execution. The failed raid heightens the sense of danger and complicates any immediate rescue. The situation underscores the cartel's willingness to brutalize anyone who interferes.

During a press conference, a DEA spokesman explains that San Carlos's president fears a coup and lacks the will to crack down on the cartel. The corrupt generals benefit from the drug trade and shield Cota from extradition. The briefing highlights the political obstacles to intervention.

McCoy is parachuted into San Carlos to initiate a stealth rescue of the missing DEA agents. Delta Force coordinates with a San Carlos government delegate to supervise the operation. The mission hinges on precision and secrecy under a fragile political arrangement.

McCoy scales a tall cliff and infiltrates Cota's villa to engage the cartel directly. The stealth assault is a key move in the plan to neutralize Cota while the rest of the team maintains surveillance. The mansion confrontation sets up the climactic sequence.

The San Carlos government attempts to cancel the U.S. intervention by staging a large drug raid. Taylor breaks protocol and moves south with a heavily armed gunship, prompting the San Carlos army to react with their own choppers. The clash escalates into an aerial and ground confrontation around Cota's compound.

McCoy manages to release some hostages but is captured and placed in a chamber filled with toxic gas. A rocket from Taylor's gunship shatters the glass, allowing McCoy to break free. The escape shifts the momentum back toward the American-led operation.

McCoy, aided by Agent Page, captures Cota in his armored limousine and escapes through a jungle chase. San Carlos forces pursue in the vicinity, but Taylor's gunship ensures their escape. As the helicopter pulls away, Cota's rope finally fails and he falls thousands of feet to his death.
