Episodes
1. Murky Waters
A routine inspection of a cargo ship uncovers a well-hidden, illicit load; weapons smugglers attempt to evade authorities; a luxury boat comes on the radar; agents locate a ship filled with people smugglers trying to make landfall.
2. Operation Total Silence
HSI agents coordinate a massive raid to take down a transnational drug trafficking gang; agents interdict an erratically moving vessel, often a sign of evasive smugglers, but it turns out that its passengers have less sinister motives.
3. Bahamian Rhapsody
Officers race to Port Newark, where a West African car gang is getting ready to ship a stolen luxury vehicle out of the country; using the owner's GPS tracker on the car, they attempt to identify the container it's in before the ship leaves port.
