Exploring Opa-Locka City Hall, a strange structure that began as the dream of an American Renaissance man, but soon turned into a nightmare.
We explore Namibia's arid Skeleton Coast, where traces of a brutal but once vital industry lie scattered.
We head to the Tunisian desert to explore a vast chain of ruins that once stood in the way of Allied Victory - until a band of rogue heroes uncovered their weakness.
We explore Fort Amador, the site of an American invasion in Panama, and a grisly Polish facility that once caged members of a revolutionary movement.
We explore Schindler's Ark in the Czech Republic, a secret refuge in Europe's killing fields, and a lost Amazonian paradise deep in the Brazilian rainforest.
We visit the decaying remains of Old Essex County Jail in New Jersey, a facility that became a powder keg of injustice that was set to explode.
We visit the Polish city of Walbrzych, where a fairytale castle on a cliff conceals a vast subterranean tunnel network linked to a legend of lost Nazi gold.
We explore Fort Sherman, a jungle stronghold in Panama built to defend a prized American possession that soon faced the threat of an elaborate Nazi conspiracy.
