  • Ghost Guns
    D1
    Ghost GunsTo get away with a crime, criminals look for completely untraceable guns. Enter the “ghost” gun: an exact replica with a fake serial number and no ballistic record — a gun that is potentially invisible to law enforcement.
  • Sex for Sale
    D2
    Sex for SaleThe illegal, multibillion-dollar global sex trade includes brothels, massage parlors and online escort agencies and is one of the oldest professions. Take a look inside this illegal trade where pimps treat women as commodities — bought and sold, used and abused, then discarded.
  • Human Cargo
    D3
    Human CargoMexican cartels dominate an extremely lucrative industry exporting undocumented migrants and squeezing them for cash. Thousands of Central Americans head north to the US border, lured by hopes for a brighter future, but people smugglers, who are often linked to cartels, make it difficult to cross without their supervision, and for a price.
  • Illegal Gambling
    D4
    Illegal GamblingMillions of Americans love to gamble. But some forms of gambling are restricted or illegal, pushing it underground, where the rules are very different. Here if you want to play you have to pay. The bookie will extend credit, but "miss a week, you miss a finger." Or worse. In the shadows of the law, people will bet on anything; legal or illegal. Innocent lives are put at risk in a world where only one thing matters--money.
  • Knock-offs

The cops crack down, busting pharma thieves, smugglers and back street pharmacists. The trade is getting ugly. Now the drug you take could be fake and the consequences are deadly.
