Summary of Elite Squad 2

The plot of The Enemy Within, set thirteen years after the events of the first film, resolves around the maturing of former captain and now Lt. Col. Roberto Nascimento, who, after a disastrous BOPE operation on a prison riot, gets caught in a bloody political dispute that involves not only the Public Safety Department, the State governor and State Military Police, but also paramilitary groups known as milĂ­cias. The film also shows the family issues of Nascimento, with his now adolescent son gradually moving away from him due to his job and the influence of his stepfather, Diogo Fraga.
Elite Squad: The Enemy Within focuses more on Nascimento's family relations than Elite Squad. In Wagner Moura's words: "Nascimento matures in this film, which has to do with his concept of conscience and his age."
