First and Kennedy Street Crew (S03E03): In the early ‘90s, Washington, D.C. police were losing the battle against street gangs who enforced their territories with lethal violence. The homicide rate in the nation’s capital climbed to the highest in the country. Local police turned to the FBI for help, but agents soon found themselves in the direct line of fire. In the fall of 1994, a gang member walked into police headquarters, killed two FBI agents and one detective, then turned the gun on himself. Authorities vowed to bring the entire gang to justice, but discovered that the leader had fled to Africa. Agents were uncertain if they could find the fugitive and bring him in.

Terror in Disguise (S03E04): In June of 1992, masked bandits pulled off a daring mid-day bank robbery. It marked the beginning of a four-year crime wave that rocked Seattle. With each new robbery, the bandits perfected their craft, leaving behind no evidence and escaping with hundreds and thousands of dollars. As the robbers became increasingly violent, pressure mounted to end their reign. With few leads, the FBI forced their own luck. The effort put them face to face with an armed and desperate fugitive.

Deadly Trail (S03E05): When police in a small Washington State community began looking into the disappearance of a 22-year-old woman, they had no way of knowing it would evolve into a nationwide hunt for a sexual sadist. Police knew the killer’s identity, but he was a master of disguise. The FBI was called on to help. Agents discovered that several unsuspecting women across the northwest had fallen prey to his charms. As the number of abductions escalated, a massive media campaign became the FBI’s best chance of flushing out the serial killer, and putting an end to his violent rampage.
