"Boy in the Bunker" - The FBI Hostage Rescue Team must save a 5-year-old boy from Jimmy Lee Dykes, an armed killer who takes the child off a school bus after shooting the driver. Dykes holds him captive in a carefully constructed bunker filled with explosives in rural Alabama. This episode explores the heart-stopping moment-by-moment series of decisions made by FBI profiler Molly Amman, from the Behavioral Analysis Unit at Quantico, and Hostage Rescue Team leader Bill Francis. Amman and Francis sit down with fellow agent Cindy Coppola to look back on this remarkable case.

TUESDAY, OCT. 10 (9:01-10:00 PM, ET/PT) **Two Back-to-Back Cases Comprise the Full Hour

"The Manhattan Bomber" - A search ensues after a homemade bomb explodes in New York City's Chelsea neighborhood injuring 30 people. When multiple additional bombs are discovered across Manhattan and New Jersey, the FBI works with local law enforcement to track down a suspect who comes to be known as "The Chelsea Bomber." It culminates in a life-or-death standoff captured on bodycam. This episode takes you on the intense manhunt told by two of the key agents who led the charge, John Miller (a former assistant director of public affairs for the FBI) and Chuck Berger (a retired agent on the FBI's NYC Joint Terrorism Task Force). Miller and Berger sit down with fellow agent Cindy Coppola and reveal never-before-shared details of the case.

"Kidnapping of Hannah Anderson" - The FBI's Hostage Rescue Team heads to the remote wilderness of Idaho to track down the so-called family friend who killed Hannah Anderson's mother and brother and abducted the 16-year-old. This case provides a behind-the-scenes look into this risky hostage rescue mission by one of the agents who was there, Chuck Davis, chief of the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team. Davis sits down with fellow agent Kristy Kottis, revealing the emotional toll this case had on him. (10-Year Anniversary of This Case)

TUESDAY, OCT. 17 (10:28-11:00 PM, ET/PT) **Abbreviated Episode Airing at a Special Time (5-Year Anniversary of Killer's Arrest)

"Golden State Killer" - In one of the most infamous serial killer cases in American history, the FBI works with local law enforcement in California to try and apprehend the so-called "Golden State Killer." In a case that spans four decades, authorities resort to an unprecedented use of familial DNA data to finally track down the man responsible for 13 murders and 51 sexual assaults. Julia Cowley from the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit was the lead agent/profiler on this case and worked side by side with Larry Pool, the Orange County Sheriff's investigator who was assigned this case in 1998. Cowley and Pool sit down with fellow agent Kristy Kottis to discuss the impact of the new science of every future case.

TUESDAY, OCT. 24 (9:01-10:00 PM, ET/PT) (10-Year Anniversary of This Terrorist Attack)

"Boston Marathon Manhunt" - When two bombs cut a swath of death and destruction through the crowd of runners and spectators at the finish line of the Boston Marathon, the FBI steps up to lead a massive manhunt for the perpetrators. As the nation watches transfixed, the Bureau and its law enforcement partners work against time to find the bombers before they can strike again. When the suspects finally emerge, they lead authorities on a high-stakes chase through the streets of greater Boston. Riveting details are disclosed by two FBI agents and a local police sergeant who knew that time was their enemy: Rick DesLauriers (who retired as Special Agent in charge of the Boston field office and previously worked as director of the counterintelligence division at FBI headquarters), Nancy Aguilar (a retired Special Agent of the FBI who worked extraterritorial threats) and John MacLellan (a retired police sergeant who served as a patrol officer in Watertown, Mass., for 30 years). The agents and MacLellan sit down with Cindy Coppola to talk about the intensity of the bombing and putting their lives on the line.

TUESDAY, OCT. 31 (9:01-10:00 PM, ET/PT) **Two Back-to-Back Cases Comprise the Full Hour.

"Horror in Yosemite" - In 1999, three women went missing in Yosemite National Park, launching the largest search and rescue operation in California history. Two of the women are found in a burned car, and the third is only found when the killer sends a taunting note to the FBI. After a fourth woman is found beheaded near the park, the Bureau believes a serial killer may be on the loose and assigns an FBI profiler who uncovers the murderer's darkest inner secrets. The FBI has shared key recordings and details from the operation led by 30-year FBI veteran/profiler Jeff Rinek. Rinek sits down with agent Kristy Kottis to discuss the pressure he felt working on this case.

"The Beltway Snipers" - For three weeks in October 2002, citizens of the Washington, D.C., area are terrorized by an unknown sniper who seems to choose their victims at random. As the FBI investigators hunt for the murderer and law enforcement is inundated by a series of false leads, the investigation stalls and the killings continue. Will a series of cryptic clues left by the shooter help authorities end the killing spree? We follow three FBI agents, Melissa Thomas (a retired FBI Special Agent who worked for the counterterrorism squad in Washington, D.C., and the behavioral analysis department at Quantico), Whit Darnell (a retired Special Agent who worked on the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team) and Keith Runk (a retired SWAT commander and assistant commander of the special operations division of the Maryland State Police). Agents Thomas, Darnell and Runk sit down with fellow agent Kristy Kottis to share the impact that this case had on all their lives.
