This two-hour special goes inside the history of the second most used illicit drug in America. The human appetite for this narcotic goes all the way back to 3000 B.C.

The Far East was the setting for the King Kong Case--an investigation involving a highly deceptive $100 counterfeit bill. Before King Kong was arrested, his group had printed and distributed close to 4 million dollars in counterfeit $100 bills and 1 million dollars in counterfeit Travelers Checks and Malaysian money. Along with King Kong, we look at advance-fee fraud, a worldwide crime that is causing great alarm. It's being specifically targeted by Interpol's West Africa Organized Crime Desk in London and the Secret Service.

When the Soviet Union collapsed, the Russian Mafia assumed new power, becoming Interpol's Enemy Number One as they extended operations to the U.S. and Europe. From his base in New York's Brighton Beach area, Vyacheslav Ivankov became the Russian Mafia's U.S. mastermind and remained immune from prosecution until two bankers turned state's evidence. We also look at their trafficking of women from the old Soviet borders into the illegal sex trade in the West.

In 2011, a sensational new black market website known as the "Silk Road" emerged on the dark net. This "Amazon of Illegal Drugs" was the brainchild of a mysterious, libertarian intellectual operating under the avatar "The Dread Pirate Roberts." Promising its users complete anonymity, and total freedom from government regulation or scrutiny, Silk Road became a billion-dollar digital drug cartel. Homeland Security, the DEA, the FBI, even the Secret Service mounted multiple investigations in the largest online manhunt the world had ever seen. But it would take a young tax inspector from the IRS, who had grown up in the projects of Brooklyn and had seen first-hand how drugs could ravage a community, to finally crack the case and unmask "DPR." With unparalleled access, SILK ROAD: DRUGS, DEATH & THE DARK WEB is a thrilling cat-and-mouse crime story for the digital age, bristling with intrigue, mayhem... and murder.

Whether it's overcoming the sophisticated multi-layered security of a diamond vault, using the deep web to take drug dealing into the 21st century, training with high tech gear to beat a casino, or most nefarious of all, employing software tricks to spread terrorism around the world - these master criminals are on the cutting edge of technology.

These are the most evil architects of crime who design perfect schemes, outsmarting anyone who dares to get in their way. A mastermind of government corruption, a team of college con artists, a psychopathic serial-killer, and one of the world's most cutting-edge drug lords - each devise elaborate plots to take over the world.
