Temple of Fear (S03E10): In the early 1980s, the decapitation of a young African-American male led the Miami-Dade police department and the FBI along a trail of murder. Investigators quickly discovered that the victim was a dissident member of a religious sect headed by a man calling himself Yahweh ben Yahweh, or God, Son of God. Although the FBI believed Yahweh ben Yahweh and his followers were responsible for many murders, they could find no direct evidence linking them to the crimes. Agents knew they had but one recourse: to convince one of the cult leader’s fanatical followers to betray a man he considered a god.
Deadly Heist (S04E06): In Arizona, a shipment of money vanished into the high desert, along with the two men hired to guard it. The FBI didn’t know if the guards were participants or victims of an ambush. Answers lay somewhere in the thousands of square miles of Arizona’s northwest territory. When the vehicle was recovered with three hundred thousand dollars and the drivers missing, suspicions that the crime was an inside job grew. FBI agents struggled to piece together scattered clues to reveal the truth about what happened to the missing men and the location of the missing money.
Deadly Influence (S05E18): Amid the cocaine wars of early 1980’s Miami, three dead bodies led a multi-agency tactical squad to suspect that a group of cops might be involved in illegal drug busts. Investigating rumors of corruption, the squad uncovered a ring of patrolmen who were making millions by ripping off smuggled cocaine. The investigators set out to prove that even with the advantages wealth and the protection of a police badge, nobody is above the law.
