It's the busiest night ever for the Auto Theft Task Force (A.T.T.F.). The jobs are coming left and right. Unoccupied stolen vehicles, smart-talking perps, foot chases, and stakeouts--this night has it all. The unit even takes a break to decide once and for all who's the fastest man in the unit.

The Auto Theft Task Force (A.T.T.F.) gets a new piece of equipment, a computerized License Plate Reader. They take it out for its first spin and find it to be extremely helpful. Later while on a fairly straightforward job, the Newark police come flying towards the unit, chasing a armed robbery vehicle. The A.T.T.F. gets involved using some metal to metal and a lot of adrenaline to help capture the gunmen.

The Auto Theft Task Force (A.T.T.F.) is on the prowl in Newark, New Jersey--and they've got plenty to keep them busy. First they get in their cardio workout when a perp takes off running. Later they recover a stolen tractor trailer. And finally a successful block ends with a stolen vehicle taken down at a drive-thru window.

The Auto Theft Task Force (A.T.T.F.) is back out on patrol in Newark, NJ. "The Wolf Pack" as the team is known, trails a stolen vehicle and blocks it in--capturing a wanted gang member in the process. A few days later their Lojack tracking signals go off, alerting them to a stolen vehicle in the area. The car, taken at gunpoint and knifepoint, was stolen only hours earlier. They follow the signal to see if it leads them to the perpetrator.

Senior Parole Officer Vinny Senzamici and Officer Jesus Demung get a disturbing case involving a woman convicted of promoting the prostitution of a 13-year-old girl. Child prostitution has become a serious problem across the US, but it is still rare to find a woman who would solicit a young child for sex. Commander Lenny DePaul works the case with them as they go after this sex offender, who disappeared after she skipped out on her parole and has been on the run for two months. The Task Force fears that she might be back up to no good and want to catch her before she endangers the life of another young person. But finding someone used to working in the streets can be very difficult.

Hunting down fugitives with ties to dangerous gangs is a high priority for Commander Lenny DePaul's Fugitive Task Force, especially when those fugitives are armed and dangerous. After a ranking member of the Bloods street gang flees a hospital in Trenton, NJ with a suspected self-inflicted gunshot wound, Lenny asks two of his all-stars -- Detective Kevin Searing and Detective Sergeant Luddie Austin -- to lead the hunt. The two begin to scour the streets and find that people are unwilling to provide information on the fugitive's whereabouts, afraid of retaliation from local gang members. Working with very few leads, Luddie must rely on his vast network of street contacts to stay ahead of the target. The fear is that the next person the fugitive shoots won't be himself.

In Virginia Beach, Virginia, nearly 30 handguns were stolen after thieves broke into a gun store through the roof. The case made all the local news reports. When Supervisory Inspector Greg Holmes learned that the fugitives might be hiding out in Brooklyn, he called an emergency 5 a.m. briefing with Commander Lenny DePaul, Inspector Dennis Tait, and Supervisor Ed McMahon. Holmes suspects that the thieves will try and sell the guns on the street, so the team must act fast to secure the firearms. When Holmes gets a lead on where the fugitives are hiding, his team wastes no time in gearing up to apprehend them.

In 2008, a Dominican national violated probation and went into hiding and local authorities were unable to locate him. Now the job falls on the shoulders of Deputy Michelle "Michy" Mendez and the Fugitive Task Force. Because the fugitive is a career criminal, the longer it takes to apprehend him, the greater the risk that another victim will be robbed, assaulted, or worse. It's a race against time as Michy and Lenny drum up leads to locate and apprehend their man.

On July 20, 2015, beloved 60-year-old chiropractor Mary Yoder falls violently ill and is rushed to the hospital. Two days later, she dies, leaving her family and friends in a state of stunned disbelief. When Mary's autopsy report reveals she didn't die of natural causes, and police receive a series of suspicious letters, they realize they've got a murder on their hands. Their ensuing investigation leads to allegations of an eyebrow-raising affair, a suspicious letter, and a surprise arrest. And while Mary's accused killer maintains her innocence, it takes two different trials to determine her fate. In-depth insights from the prosecutor detail how an investigation into an unusual death turned into a murder case, and how digital forensic evidence tied the suspect to the crime.

When a New Jersey woman is murdered on her wedding day by her ex-boyfriend, the case stirs a heated debate about the nature of crimes of passion.

As Titus puts it early in this episode, "When one of us gets hurt, we feel like all of us are hurt." And in New Orleans on the Nightwatch, every call isn't just about a victim whose life is in danger, or even a criminal who's broken the law. It's about people serving people. In several calls - from a restaurant in the French Quarter to a car accident uptown - bystanders chip in to help the first responders. There's also a tourist who has to be coaxed to the hospital, and a rapper whose spotless record belies his style. In every case, the members of the Nightwatch offer southern hospitality, New Orleans style.

New Orleans first responders battle freezing temperatures as they treat a driver trapped after a serious car accident, a man hit by a streetcar, a delirious patient who doesn't want to part with his dog, and a woman with a surprisingly poignant backstory.

Fifteen-year-old Jennifer considered herself an outsider at home, so she ran away looking for love. With her parents desperate for help, Joe Mazzilli and the Runaway Squad quickly get on Jennifer's trail. At first, the only lead is her New York City boyfriend, but a surprise phone call has Joe shifting his tactics. Using her mother as bait, can Joe bring the girl home?

Tayvela felt "trapped" in her Long Island home by her over-protective, but well-meaning, mother. Nine months after she ran away, Joe Mazzilli and the Runaway Squad finally begin to unravel the mystery of the 15-year-old runaway's whereabouts. When they discover that a gang may be holding her against her will, the team turns up the heat doing everything they can to find her.

Joe Mazzilli and the Runaway Squad travel to Rochester, New York to search for 14-year-old runaway Heather. Joe learns that she's been victimized in the past and now may be hanging out with an older man: a combination that Joe knows could lead to major trouble for this vulnerable teen.

When Senior Officer Vinny Senzamici is assigned a parolee who's on the most wanted list, he knows he has a "ticking time bomb" on his hands. He assembles his team and assigns the manhunt to his lead investigator, Officer Al Fernandez. The fugitive has a number of hideouts in Harlem, and it's a building-to-building search as the officers interview family members and friends in an effort to find the hideout. After a security guard claims to have seen the fugitive mere hours before, the team follows the lead into a dark tenement basement, where danger lurks in the shadows. As the Fugitive Task Force clears the underground hallways, they think they're closing in on their man--but actually the high-stakes hunt had just begun.

Senior Parole Officer Vinny Senzamici and his team make it their priority to find a level three sex offender on the run. The fugitive sexually abused a six-year-old girl over a two-year period--and almost certainly will strike again. Vinny visits the victim's mother and becomes even more motivated to find the fugitive before anyone else gets hurt. But the target knows the task force is looking for him and could slip away at any moment. The team races from one location to the next, trying to locate their man before sunrise.

Supervisor Tommy Kilbride, Deportation Officer Dennis Carroll, and the ICE team are working a brand new illegal reentry case. Their target was deported several years ago after brutally assaulting his ex-wife, but has returned to the country and could be after her again. Tommy and Dennis, along with Detective Roxanne "Roxy" Lopez, brief Commander Lenny DePaul, are reporting that the fugitive may be hiding out in Spring Valley. Since Roxy covers that area, she'll be able to work some leads. After interviewing the ex-wife, the Marshals are one hundred percent sure that the fugitive is in the country. But the woman has no clue where her ex-husband is hiding, and the Marshals become concerned for her safety. Lenny reaches out to an informant and gets a credible lead, but it's not going to be easy. The Marshals will have to use their wits to get a bead on their fugitive, before he can track down his ex-wife.

Christopher Jones, a rising hip-hop star, was killed outside a nightclub in Orlando, Florida; he was shot 6 times with a semi automatic machine gun. The shooter fled the scene leaving the local community outraged. In an effort to help track down the killer, Jones's parents put up a $10,000 reward and the tips have been flying in ever since. Informants say the fugitive, along with his mom and aunt, have fled Florida for the Bronx. Commander Lenny DePaul assembles a rock solid crew to work the case, and puts newcomer Deputy Roland Ubaldo in charge. Roland, a recent Iraq war veteran wants to prove himself so he makes sure his A-team -- which includes Sr. Inspector Mike Romani, Deputy Nick Ricigliano and Deputy Michelle "Michy" Mendez -- hits every known address associated with their fugitive. But the clock is ticking and the big worry is the trail may go cold if they don't catch him in the next 24 hours.

Commander Lenny DePaul and Deputy Michelle "Michy" Mendez receive a prominent, "ripped from the headlines" case out of the U.S. Marshals' office in Puerto Rico. Federal authorities on the island have completed a major drug offensive against a notorious gang with 71 people facing indictment. The operation, while a major success, failed to capture one of the alleged leaders, now believed to be hiding in New York. Michy and Lenny waste no time gathering the assets for a major manhunt. Their target is rumored to eat lunch in a Bronx restaurant, causing Lenny, Michy and their teams to begin marathon surveillance.

It's ICE Supervisor Tommy Kilbride's 20th anniversary on the job and today he gets a case that will demand all of his hard-earned skills and instincts to solve. A convicted felon--expert in fraud and forgery--has snuck back into the U.S. illegally. Raising the stakes, new information suggests that the fugitive is engaged in a massive drug trafficking operation. Tommy briefs Commander Lenny DePaul, Deportation Officer Dennis Carroll and Senior Inspector Mike Romani. There are several leads, but it's hard to pick out fact from fiction with their target; with his expertise in falsifying documents he could have any number of seemingly-valid identities. And if the fugitive is trafficking narcotics, he also may have lots of cash and be heavily armed. After 20 years in law enforcement, Tommy may be facing a manhunter's worst nightmare--an elusive, well-financed and armed fugitive.

Commander Lenny DePaul hasn't been back to his hometown of Utica, New York, in a long time.

To make his hometown safer, Lenny and the Marshals leave no stone unturned until the woman with the box cutter is off the streets.

Late one night, after a drug deal gone awry, a man is shot, fleeing the scene while running for his life. He ultimately collapses behind a dumpster and ends up on life support. Spring Valley Detective Roxanne Lopez puts on her US Marshal's hat as she tracks down the two key suspects--a boyfriend and girlfriend--wanted in connection to this attempted murder. When this dangerous duo appears to have skipped town, Roxy won't quit, pulling an all-nighter. An unexpected clue leads the team to look in an entirely different direction, and Roxy and Commander Lenny DePaul find themselves hundreds of miles away in Amish country hoping to give the fugitives an early morning wake-up call.

The State Penitentiary in Auburn, New York is the centerpiece of a city and a monument to one of America's first attempts at criminal rehabilitation. Its founders were liberal prison reformers who believed their task could be accomplished through penitence, hard work, and silence. The "Auburn System" was adopted by most U.S. prisons in the early 1900s. Now, all that remains of that system is hard work--and hard time--for the most violent offenders in New York State.

Nestled at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Colorado's first state prison in Canon City traces its roots to the days of frontier justice. It's housed heavyweight boxing contenders and cannibals--it was infamous cannibal Alfred Packer's last home--and endured a mass escape in 1947. Juxtaposing day-to-day life in one of America's harshest security facilities with an exploration of its rich past, we follow a prison guard on a shakedown and an inmate through his final day before release.

Herds of livestock roam here under the big sky. Cowboys and wranglers watch over them. But these are not ordinary ranch hands, and this no ordinary ranch. Welcome to the State Prison in Deer Lodge, Montana. Today, it operates efficiently as both a ranch and a modern high-security fortress. But its legacy is dark and its history marked by violent uprisings, inhumane conditions, and brutality. We also meet inmates who work on the farm and dairy, and violent offenders who hold jobs as telemarketers.

An inside-the-walls look at the bloody story of Folsom Prison that opened in 1880, experiencing the first of many escapes the same year. Designed for habitual felons and incorrigibles doing hard time, its violent history includes 93 hangings between 1895 and 1937. Narrated by Paul Sorvino, it shows why Folsom prisoners get the blues!

Called the "Castle on the Cumberland", its inspiring medieval presence is a focal point on the landscape. But this castle is really Kentucky's maximum-security prison, reinforced with modern cellblocks and electronic surveillance to keep watch on the state's most dangerous prisoners. We follow an officer on his shift and step inside the high-security block that houses the "worst of the worst", and tour death row that's electric chair holds a gruesome national record--seven executions in a single day!

Most of Angola's 5,000 maximum-security inmates will never see the outside world again. Formerly a slave plantation in a remote area of Louisiana, in the 1930s Angola remained backward and brutal and by 1975, with increasing crowding and violence, became known as the "Bloodiest Prison in America". Paul Sorvino narrates.
