Episode list

A bust goes deadly wrong in Pasadena. In its wake, we meet Eddie Follis who has worked his entire life to become a special agent for the DEA. He learns the ropes from the best in the business and comes face to face with an agent of the most powerful illegal drug merchant on Earth. This is how fast it can go bad.

After an elaborate undercover operation to bring down Southeast Asia's biggest arms trafficker goes South, Eddie targets one of the world's biggest opium dealers - who just happens to live outside L.A. Eddie is ready to risk his life, but what about the lives of those he loves the most? And what happens when Eddie feels the nose of a .22 jabbed into his ribs?

After a near brush with death and a brief stop in Honolulu's field office, Eddie is assigned to work in the epicenter of the world's heroin trafficking, The Golden Triangle. There he takes on an untouchable new foe, the largest exporter of heroin in the region - but first Eddie has to break into the target's house and dodge a pack of mangy, angry dogs. Can he bring down the opium warlord nicknamed "The Prince of Death"?

Reassigned to Juarez, Mexico, Eddie hunts down Amado Carrillo-Fuentes, the "Lord of the Skies." One death is faked, but another is all too real. And during multiple clashes along the border, Eddie has a brush with another future kingpin, a young cartel member named Joaquín Archivaldo Guzmán Loera, also known as "El Chapo."

Eddie witnesses the horror of American Airlines flight 77 roaring overhead and smashing into the Pentagon on 9/11. He would never be the same. Eddie is given his biggest and most dangerous assignment in Kabul, Afghanistan. He is at ground zero in the global war on terror when members of his team are kidnapped on the street and he must tear through the streets of Afghanistan to rescue them. Eddie meets a new threat named Haji Juma Khan. He was one of the biggest heroin traffickers in the biggest narco-state on the planet. He was also a friend of a thin, six-foot-four Saudi with dark strong eyes named Osama Bin Laden.

After forming a unique and complicated bond with the world's biggest opium dealer, Haji Juma Khan (HJK), Eddie discovers his friend and foe HJK is on the "kinetic list" - he is marked for death by a drone from the sky. Eddie must make the most important decision he has ever made as a DEA agent; to save a life by taking it.
