  • Tim killing off The Scorpion, leader of the FARC and RocĂ­o's buyer, is absolutely cathartic and satisfying as hell.
  • The whole rescue from the FARC deserves a mention. Basically Tim and Vampiro head off into an isolated no man's land alone without any sort of backup or weaponry disguised as medics from the UN. The FARC soldiers corner the two in a boat and force Tim to go on alone to avoid blowing his cover and so he can get close enough to their base to save Rocio. He doesn't even have a handgun at this point because he refused to carry one earlier. After tricking the leader of the FARC into thinking he's just there to test for illness and treat their sick Tim manages to locate and identify Rocio. Then when his quick rescue attempt is botched by Rocio screaming in surprise he fights and kills the FARC leader while unarmed with a Neck Snap and manages to get her to the rest of his team for a speedy getaway. In spite of the FARC discovering their dead leader's body and attempting to blow them away with assault rifles the entire crew makes it out with the girl and she's promptly returned to her father and brother.
  • The island raid deserves a special mention as well. After getting a lead on the missing girl Tim puts together a crew to lure the traffickers and pedophiles into a massive trap. Their plan? Create an entire island paradise for them and convince them to bring in every child they've captured at that point. Once the buyers and sellers are all in place Tim has his accomplices storm the island and rescue the children in one fell swoop. Especially satisfying is seeing Giselle panicked and screaming that she's "just a victim" as she's handcuffed. Best of all is that the scene is capped off with a title drop that is both equal parts heartwarming and amazing:
    Vampiro: You hear that? That's the sound of freedom.
