Narrator: THEY'RE WATCHING YOU.

MORE THAN 4,000 SATELLITES CIRCLE THE EARTH.

EVERY DAY, THEY UNCOVER NEW, MYSTERIOUS PHENOMENA

THAT DEFY EXPLANATION.

[ BEEPING, DISTORTED MUSIC ]

A PARANORMAL EYE IN THE SWAMP.

SOMETHING REALLY ODD IS GOING ON IN THIS AREA.

IT'S STRAIGHT OUT OF THE TWILIGHT ZONE.

Narrator: STRANGE CREATURES AMONG THE TERROR STONES.

IT LOOKS LIKE A FORTRESS.

A FORTRESS OF FANGS.

Narrator: AND A TRIP TO HELL WITH THE GODDESS OF LOVE.

BY THE TIME SHE GETS DOWN THERE

SHE'S COMPLETELY NAKED, STRIPPED OF ALL OF HER POWER.

Narrator: BAFFLING PHENOMENA.

MYSTERIES FROM SPACE.

WHAT ON EARTH ARE THEY?

A WorldView SATELLITE PASSING OVER ARGENTINA

CAPTURES A DISC SLICED INTO THE EARTH,

AND INSIDE IT, A SECOND DISC.

GOOD GRIEF. THIS IS UNUSUAL.

IT'S A NEARLY CIRCULAR ISLAND WITHIN A NEARLY CIRCULAR LAKE.

IT'S ALMOST AS IF SOME TYPE OF LIKE AN EYE

IS LOOKING UP AT YOU.

WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD BE UNDERNEATH?

I CAN IMAGINE HOW SOME PEOPLE WOULD THINK

THAT THIS WOULD BE A PORTAL TO ANOTHER WORLD.

**

Narrator: THE "EYE" FIRST COMES TO THE ATTENTION

OF FILM DIRECTOR SERGIO NEUSPILLER,

HUNTING FOR A HORROR MOVIE LOCATION IN AN AREA RIFE

WITH REPORTS OF PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.

THE REPORTS OF PARANORMAL EVENTS ARE ALL LOCATED

IN ONE AREA OF SWAMPLAND.

WHEN NEUSPILLER STUDIES SATELLITE IMAGES OF THE SWAMP

THIS IS WHAT HE FINDS.

RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT

STRANGE REPORTS IS THE "EYE."

Narrator: THE "EYE" IS CARVED INTO A REMOTE,

UNINHABITED ISLAND IN THE SWAMP.

THE TERRAIN IS INHOSPITABLE, THE SITE DIFFICULT TO REACH.

THIS WHOLE AREA IS SURROUNDED BY SWAMPY MARSHLAND,

AND TREACHEROUS CANALS.

OVERGROWN RIVER INLETS.

NOBODY LIVES HERE.

NOBODY WANTS TO LIVE HERE.

Narrator: SCIENTISTS ARE DIVIDED ON HOW SOMETHING LIKE THIS

CAN COME TO EXIST.

I DON'T IMMEDIATELY SUPPOSE

THAT THIS IS SOMETHING CREATED BY HUMAN BEINGS.

I WONDER COULD THIS BE FORMED THROUGH A NATURAL PROCESS

AS A NATURAL PHENOMENON.

Narrator: IMAGE ANALYST AMANDA MARCHETTI IS AMONG THOSE WHO DISAGREE.

Marchetti: PERFECT CIRCLE IN A GIANT SWAMP?

THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.

THERE'S NO WAY THAT IT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN CREATED

WITHOUT HUMAN ENGINEERING.

SO IT BEGS THE QUESTION -- WHAT'S THE PURPOSE

AND HOW DID THEY DO IT?

Narrator: ALTHOUGH THERE'S NO HUMAN SETTLEMENT HERE,

NEUSPILLER LEARNED THERE'S A HISTORY

OF MILITARY ACTIVITY IN THE REGION.

Neuspiller: WE WERE TOLD...

MILITARY TESTING CAN CREATE STRANGE FEATURES

IN THE LANDSCAPE,

BUT NOTHING LIKE THIS.

Narrator: FOR HIS MOVIE,

NEUSPILLER WANTS TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE PARANORMAL "EYE"

AND THE REPORTS OF WEIRD HAPPENINGS AROUND IT.

HE DECIDES TO HEAD TO THE REMOTE SITE TO INVESTIGATE.

THE "EYE" IS IN THE MIDDLE

OF HUNDREDS OF SQUARE MILES OF SWAMPLAND.

THIS PLACE ISN'T JUST REMOTE,

IT'S WELL DEFENDED BY NATURAL HAZARDS.

Kourounis: THIS PLACE IS TREACHEROUS.

THERE ARE ALLIGATORS, VICIOUS BUGS.

THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE EASY.

Narrator: NEUSPILLER MUST PICK OUT A ROUTE

THROUGH A WINDING LABYRINTH OF STREAMS

AND RIVERS SWOLLEN BY RECENT HEAVY RAINS.

A FEW HOURS INTO THE JOURNEY,

NEUSPILLER ENTERS AN AREA LOCALS CALL THE GHOST ZONE.

THIS IS WHERE THE STORIES OF PARANORMAL EVENTS BEGIN.

ONE CENTERS ON THE DISAPPEARANCE OF A YOUNG CHILD.

SOMETHING REALLY ODD IS GOING ON IN THIS AREA.

IT'S STRAIGHT OUT OF "THE TWILIGHT ZONE."

Narrator: AS THEY PUSH DEEPER INTO THE GHOST ZONE,

THE RIVER NARROWS.

WOW.

Narrator: IT'S NOT LONG BEFORE NEUSPILLER IS CONFRONTED

BY A BAFFLING SIGHT --

A GRAVEYARD OF RUSTING, ABANDONED SHIPS.

Neuspiller: [ SPEAKING SPANISH ]

Narrator: THE SIZE OF THE VESSELS PUZZLES NEUSPILLER.

SOME OF THESE BOATS ARE OVER 30 FEET LONG

BUT THE RIVER IS SUPER TWISTY AND NARROW

SO IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE HOW THESE LONG BOATS

GOT DOWN SUCH A TWISTY RIVER.

Narrator: THE SHIP GRAVEYARD SUGGESTS FORCES CONTINUALLY SHIFT

THE WATERWAYS AROUND THE "EYE."

THE WATER CHANNELS IN THIS SWAMP

ARE CONSTANTLY CHANGING, WHICH BEGS THE QUESTION --

HOW IS THIS EYE ABLE TO KEEP ITS NEAR PERFECT CIRCULAR SHAPE?

Narrator: SEVERAL MILES DOWNRIVER,

THEY'RE NOW CLOSE TO THE PARANORMAL "EYE."

BUT THE NARROWING WATERWAY

BECOMES THICK WITH GRASS AND SILT,

MAKING IT IMPASSABLE.

THEY ARE FORCED TO ABANDON THEIR BOAT AND PROCEED ON FOOT.

WE ARE ENTERING THE ISLAND.

THIS IS THE ISLAND CONTAINING THE "EYE."

Narrator: IN THE DENSE VEGETATION

IT'S TOUGH TO KNOW WHERE THEY ARE.

THEY RELY ON CROSS-REFERENCING THE SATELLITE IMAGE WITH GPS.

SEEN FROM ABOVE, THIS AREA HAS THE APPEARANCE OF FIRM GROUND

BUT NEUSPILLER DISCOVERS THE SWAMP CAN EASILY SWALLOW YOU UP.

**

EVENTUALLY, THEY COME FACE TO FACE

WITH WHAT THEY SAW ON THE SATELLITE IMAGE.

**

Neuspiller: [SPEAKING SPANISH]

Narrator: CHECKING THEIR GPS, THEY NOTICE SOMETHING PERPLEXING.

THE MYSTERY DEEPENS.

THE "EYE" SEEMS TO MOVE.

WHY IS THE ISLAND WITHIN THE LAKE MOVING AROUND?

Narrator: COMING UP... FREAKS IN THE STONE FOREST.

Sanford: THEY'RE COVERED IN LONG HAIR, AND WITH RED EYES.

AND THEY HAVE SUPERNATURAL POWERS.

Narrator: AND DEEP IN THE HAUNTED SWAMP,

WHAT MYSTERY FORCE IS CONTROLLING THE "EYE"?

I CAN ACTUALLY WATCH IT MOVE

AS IF IT'S FOLLOWING A PATTERN AROUND THE LAKE.

**

Narrator: HORROR FILM DIRECTOR SERGIO NEUSPILLER

IS INVESTIGATING REPORTS OF PARANORMAL ACTIVITY

AROUND A MYSTERIOUS "EYE" DEEP IN AN ARGENTINEAN SWAMP.

HE HAS FINALLY REACHED THE EYE-SHAPED PIECE OF SWAMP.

HE DISCOVERS THAT IT'S MOVING.

Narrator: SATELLITE IMAGE ANALYSIS CONFIRMS NEUSPILLER'S DISCOVERY.

Marchetti: AS I GO THROUGH THE HISTORICAL IMAGERY,

I CAN ACTUALLY WATCH IT MOVE

AS IF IT'S FOLLOWING A PATTERN AROUND THE LAKE.

Narrator: THE HISTORICAL IMAGES SHOW THE "EYE" HAS BEEN HERE

AND MOVING FOR 20 YEARS.

EVERY DAY THE ISLAND WAS IN A DIFFERENT POSITION.

I BELIEVE THERE'S SOMETHING THAT'S ACTUALLY

PULLING THE ISLAND AROUND THE LAKE.

Narrator: NEUSPILLER CLIMBS ONTO THE "EYE" TO INVESTIGATE.

THE "EYE" APPEARS TO BE A FLOATING DISC

COVERED IN VEGETATION.

NEUSPILLER LOOKS FOR CLUES AS TO HOW IT WAS FORMED.

NEUSPILLER CAN FIND NO EVIDENCE

THAT THE "EYE" IS MAN-MADE.

BUT IF IT'S NATURAL, WHY IS IT SO SYMMETRICAL?

AND WHY DOES IT FLOAT?

METHANE GAS IS PRODUCED BY DECOMPOSING ORGANIC MATERIAL,

AND IS LIGHTER THAN AIR.

FLOATING ISLANDS DO EXIST ELSEWHERE IN SOUTH AMERICA.

WE DO KNOW THAT UP IN PERU IN LAKE TITICACA

THERE ARE THESE UNIQUE STRUCTURES

CREATED BY THE URU PEOPLE.

THEY'RE ACTUALLY REEDS THAT ARE WOVEN TOGETHER TO FORM ISLANDS

AND PEOPLE WILL ACTUALLY LIVE ON THESE FLOATING ISLANDS

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LAKE.

Narrator: BUT THERE'S A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ISLANDS IN PERU

AND THE "EYE" IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SWAMP.

THESE FLOATING ISLANDS IN PERU REQUIRE REGULAR MAINTENANCE

SO THAT THEY CAN KEEP THEIR SHAPE

BECAUSE IT WILL DETERIORATE OVER TIME.

BUT THIS FORMATION IN ARGENTINA, THERE'S REALLY NOBODY AROUND,

SO HOW WOULD IT KEEP ITS SHAPE OVER TIME?

Narrator: NEUSPILLER NOTICES SOMETHING STRANGE ABOUT THE WATER.

THE WATER AROUND THE "EYE," IT'S VERY COLD AND VERY CLEAR.

THAT'S TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM THE SURROUNDING SWAMPY WATER.

WHAT COULD CAUSE THAT?

Narrator: SOME EXPERTS SUGGEST THAT THE COLD WATER MIGHT INDICATE

THAT SOMETHING IS COMING UP FROM BENEATH THE EARTH,

PERHAPS FROM SOME SUBTERRANEAN LAKE,

CREATING CURRENTS THAT FORM THE "EYE."

IT'S NOT STAGNANT WATER, IT'S NOT WATER

THAT IS ACCUMULATING SEDIMENT AND BUILDING VEGETATION

AND IN-FILLING THE LAKE.

IT'S WATER THAT'S ON THE MOVE.

Narrator: BUT THIS DOESN'T LOOK TO NEUSPILLER LIKE WATER

THAT'S MOVING.

NEUSPILLER CAN FIND NO SATISFACTORY EXPLANATION

FOR THE "EYE" OR THE REPORTS OF PARANORMAL EVENTS AROUND IT.

ALL THIS DATA IS INVALUABLE,

BUT IT'S GONNA TAKE MANY MORE TRIPS OUT TO THE ISLAND

TO DETERMINE THE TRUTH BEHIND THIS MYSTERY.

Narrator: ONE THING IS FOR SURE,

THE "EYE" MAKES A GREAT SETTING FOR A HORROR MOVIE.

**

Narrator: COMING UP...

BAFFLING SHAPES IN THE DESERT AND DOORS TO THE UNDERWORLD.

PERHAPS THESE GATES MARK A PLACE OF WORSHIP

AND HUMAN SACRIFICE.

Narrator: AND WHAT COULD BE HIDING DEEP INSIDE THE TERROR STONES?

Sanford: MAYBE THERE ARE PEOPLE THERE THAT WE JUST HAVEN'T FOUND YET.

**

Narrator: A SATELLITE IMAGE TAKEN 480 MILES

ABOVE A REMOTE PART OF MADAGASCAR

REVEALS A CURIOUS MAZE OF CRISSCROSSED LINES

DISSECTING THE LANDSCAPE.

Chamberlain: FROM A DISTANCE IT KIND OF LOOKS

BIZARRELY LIKE ELEPHANT SKIN!

YOU'VE GOT ALL THESE LINES THAT ARE CONNECTING WITH EACH OTHER,

SORT OF MAKING GEOMETRIC PATTERNS.

Narrator: CLOSER ANALYSIS OF THE AERIAL IMAGE

REVEALS SOMETHING MUCH MORE FORBIDDING --

AN INHOSPITABLE, EVEN DEADLY LANDSCAPE.

WHOA.

THESE ARE WHITE ROCKS THAT LOOK LIKE TREES.

Sanford: IT SEEMS LIKE AN ALIEN LANDSCAPE,

AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT, IT LOOKS LIKE A FORTRESS.

A FORTRESS OF FANGS.

IT'S JUST CRUELLY BEAUTIFUL WITH ALL THESE SPIKES

HEADING UPWARD LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF "GAME OF THRONES."

Narrator: LOCALS CALL THE SITE TSINGY DE BEMARAHA.

IT'S ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS,

REMOTE, AND UNEXPLORED PLACES ON EARTH.

INVESTIGATORS EXAMINE WHAT FORCES CREATED

THIS ALIEN LANDSCAPE.

THE WORD "TSINGY," THE NAME OF THIS FOREST,

COMES FROM WORDS THAT MEAN

"ONE CANNOT WALK BAREFOOT."

AND IT LOOKS MENACING FROM THE OUTSIDE,

BUT IF YOU'RE GOING IN THERE, YOU COULD BE RIPPED TO SHREDS.

I MEAN, THIS STUFF IS SHARP LIKE GLASS.

ONE SLIP AND YOU'RE SLICED.

Narrator: GEOLOGISTS REFER TO THESE GIANT STONE SHARDS

AS KARST FORMATIONS,

HIGHLY UNUSUAL STRUCTURES FASHIONED BY ACID RAIN

EATING AWAY AT ROCKS TO CREATE A FANTASY LANDSCAPE.

THIS LAYER OF LIMESTONE IS 1,000 FEET THICK

AND IT FORMED OVER MILLIONS OF YEARS

AS RAINWATER WOULD PERCOLATE DOWN

THROUGH THOSE FRACTURES AND CRACKS

AND IT WOULD START TO DISSOLVE AWAY THE LIMESTONE.

AND IT'S REALLY THE PROCESS OF WIND AND WATER DISSOLVING AWAY

THIS ROCK HAS CREATED THIS LABYRINTH OF SPIRES.

Narrator: WHAT CREATURES LIVE WITHIN THIS MAZE OF RAZOR-SHARP SPIKES?

GEOLOGIC RECORDS REVEAL THE ISLAND OF MADAGASCAR

HAS BEEN CUT OFF FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD

FOR 165 MILLION YEARS.

THIS ISOLATION MEANS THE CREATURES HERE HAVE EVOLVED IN

TO STRANGE AND UNIQUE FORMS.

THESE GIANT STONE WALLS AND SPIRES ARE A SANCTUARY

IN THIS LAND OF THE FREAKS.

THIS ECOSYSTEM IS ONE OF

THE MOST SPECIAL PLACES ON OUR PLANET.

SOME PEOPLE HAVE SAID THAT MADAGASCAR SHOULD BE

AN EIGHTH CONTINENT,

BECAUSE MOST OF THE SPECIES IN MADAGASCAR ONLY EXIST THERE.

AND THEN HALF OF THOSE IN THIS ROCKY BIOFORTRESS

ONLY EXIST THERE.

MADAGASCAR ITSELF IS HOME TO SO MANY ENDEMIC SPECIES

AND THIS PLACE IS ISOLATED WITHIN THAT ISOLATION.

Narrator: SOME OF THE CREATURES RECENTLY DISCOVERED HERE ARE SMALL.

SOME MUCH BIGGER.

EXPERTS CAN ONLY SPECULATE AS TO WHAT ELSE LURKS

IN THIS LARGELY UNEXPLORED 600-SQUARE-MILE MAZE.

THERE IS NO TELLING HOW MANY NEW CREATURES LIVE IN THIS AREA.

Sanford: ANIMALS HAVE BEEN EVOLVING THERE

FOR THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF YEARS.

MAYBE THERE ARE PEOPLE THERE, TOO,

THAT WE JUST HAVEN'T FOUND YET.

Narrator: SCIENTISTS BELIEVE THERE ARE STILL OVER

100 UNDISCOVERED TRIBES ON EARTH.

IF ONE WANTED TO STAY HIDDEN,

THE IMPENETRABLE TSINGY STONE FOREST

IS THE PERFECT NATURAL HIDEOUT.

THIS AREA HAS THESE TALL SPIKES AND DEEP FISSURES.

IF THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THERE,

YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO SEE THEM

UNLESS YOU WERE RIGHT ON TOP OF THEM.

Narrator: LOCALS LIVING NEAR THE STONE FOREST

TELL OF CAVERN-DWELLING HUMANOIDS

EMERGING AT NIGHT TO SEARCH FOR FOOD.

THEY CLAIM THEY VENTURE INTO NEARBY VILLAGES

AND ABDUCT CHILDREN.

THEY CALL THEM THE KALANORO.

THEY'RE THOUGHT TO BE PYGMY PEOPLE.

YOU GET LOTS OF DIFFERENT STORIES FROM LOCAL PEOPLE

AND LOTS OF DIFFERENT LEGENDS ABOUT THEM.

Narrator: ACCORDING TO FOLK HERE, KALANORO PREY

ON ANIMALS MUCH LARGER THAN THEMSELVES.

THEY THEN LEAVE THE CARCASSES TO FESTER

BEFORE RETURNING TO FEAST ON THE MAGGOTS.

Sanford: THEY'RE TWO-FOOT TALL, COVERED IN LONG HAIR,

LONG FINGERNAILS, AND WITH RED EYES.

AND LEGEND HAS IT THAT THEY HAVE SUPERNATURAL POWERS.

Narrator: THIS FORTRESS OF FREAKS MAY HAVE BEEN CARVED BY NATURE,

BUT HISTORIANS CONSIDER HOW IT COULD HAVE BEEN

PUT TO TERRIFYING USE BY MADAGASCAR'S

MOST NOTORIOUS MONARCH, QUEEN RANAVALONA.

THIS QUEEN IS ONE OF THE MOST WICKED VILLAINS IN HISTORY.

SHE IS RIGHT UP THERE WITH CALIGULA AND VLAD THE IMPALER

FOR SHEER BLOODTHIRSTINESS.

Narrator: RANAVALONA WAS CROWNED IN 1829,

AND HER NICKNAME WAS "THE CRUEL" FOR A VERY GOOD REASON.

SHE RELEASED A REIGN OF TERROR ON HER OWN PEOPLE,

AND SHE WAS NOT ONLY KILLING THEM,

SHE WAS DOING IT IN AN EXTREMELY TORTUROUS WAY.

SHE WOULD THROW SOMEONE OFF OF A CEREMONIAL CLIFF

OR BOIL SOMEONE ALIVE.

BEHEADING, THAT WAS JUST RUN OF THE MILL.

Narrator: IN 1849, RANAVALONA THE CRUEL TOSSED

14 CHRISTIANS MISSIONARIES OFF A 150-FOOT HIGH CLIFF.

NOT CONTENT WITH SIMPLE EXECUTIONS,

THE EVIL QUEEN WOULD ALSO TOY WITH HER VICTIMS.

TO GET AN IDEA OF HOW CRUEL THIS WOMAN COULD BE,

WHEN SHE THREW PEOPLE OF THE CLIFF,

SHE WOULD CATCH THEM RIGHT BEFORE THEY COMPLETED THEIR FALL

SO THEY FELT SAFE,

AND THEN SHE'D DROP THEM AGAIN.

Narrator: DO THE TERROR STONES CONCEAL THE REMAINS

OF RANAVALONA'S MANY VICTIMS,

OR SOMETHING EVEN MORE TERRIFYING?

UNTIL EXPLORERS DARE TO VENTURE

INTO THE HEART OF THE TSINGY FOREST,

THE HIDDEN DEPTHS OF THIS FEARSOME LABYRINTH

WILL REMAIN A MYSTERY.

ANYTHING COULD BE IN THERE JUST WAITING TO BE

DISCOVERED AMONG THESE VAST CANYONS.

**

Narrator: COMING UP...

SOMETHING WEIRD IN THE WATERS OFF MARYLAND.

Carter: COULD YOU IMAGINE THE U.S. GOVERNMENT'S INVOLVED

IN EXPERIMENTING ON THE PEOPLE THAT ARE DEFENDING THEIR NATION?

Narrator: AND THE DEVIL DOES A DEAL WITH THE GODDESS OF LOVE.

SHE WANTS TO EXTEND HER REALM TO INCLUDE DEATH ITSELF.

**

Narrator: APRIL 2017.

AS A SATELLITE PASSES OVER SAUDI ARABIA,

IT CAPTURES AN IMAGE OF WHAT APPEARS TO BE

A PATH OR A TRACK ON THE SIDE OF A VOLCANO.

**

IT LOOKS LIKE AN ENTRANCE OF SOME SORT,

APPARENTLY LEADING INTO THE EARTH ITSELF.

Brand: JUST LOOKING AT THE SATELLITE IMAGE

TELLS ME THAT IT'S VERY UNLIKELY THAT THEY'RE NATURAL.

IT'S ALMOST CERTAIN THAT THESE ARE MAN-MADE.

THE WEIRD THING IS THIS IS ON THE SIDE OF A MOUNTAIN,

IT'S A VOLCANO,

SO WHO'S BUILDING THIS ON THE SIDE OF VOLCANO?

Narrator: ANALYSTS DISCOVER MORE STRANGE EDIFICES

ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE VOLCANO.

SCALE ANALYSIS REVEALS THESE GATE-LIKE STRUCTURES

ARE MORE THAN 500 YARDS LONG.

THAT'S FOUR TIMES THE HEIGHT OF THE GREAT PYRAMID OF GIZA.

THEY'RE LONG, THEY'RE BIG.

TO EVEN NOTICE THESE FROM OUTER SPACE

SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT THEIR SIZE.

Narrator: THE KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA IS A VAST DESERT COUNTRY,

DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS TO EXPLORE.

THE GOVERNMENT IS HOSTILE TO OUTSIDERS,

AND ACCESS TO THE SITE IS HIGHLY RESTRICTED.

THE CURRENT SITUATION WILL NOT ALLOW ARCHAEOLOGISTS

TO GO THERE ON THE GROUND

SO ALL WE HAVE ARE SATELLITE IMAGES

TO SPECULATE WHAT THESE FEATURES WERE.

Narrator: HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS ARE BEING POURED

INTO HUGE NEW CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS IN SAUDI.

YET INVESTIGATORS DISMISS ANY IDEA

THAT THESE STRUCTURES ARE PART OF SOME MODERN DESERT MEGACITY.

THIS CERTAINLY DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A MODERN BUILDING SITE.

YOU DON'T REALLY SEE MACHINERY, YOU DON'T SEE INFRASTRUCTURE.

Altaweel: THESE WALLS LOOK ERODED, THEY'RE NOT PERFECTLY STRAIGHT,

THEY'RE FALLING APART IN PLACES.

THAT TELLS US THIS IS SOMETHING ANCIENT, NOT MODERN.

Narrator: SATELLITE ARCHAEOLOGIST MARK ALTAWEEL HAS SPENT TWO

DECADES STUDYING ANCIENT SITES ACROSS THE MIDDLE EAST.

**

HE COMPARES THE MASSIVE STONE STRUCTURES TO THE BUILDINGS

OF A MYSTERIOUS AND POWERFUL CIVILIZATION

THAT RULED THIS REGION BEFORE THE BIRTH OF CHRIST.

Altaweel: WHEN I SEE STONE STRUCTURES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT,

I THINK OF THE NABATAEANS.

THESE WERE PEOPLE WHO BUILT THESE FABULOUS STONE STRUCTURES

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT ABOUT 2,000 YEARS AGO.

THEY WERE VERY ADEPT AT CREATING LARGE CITIES LIKE PETRA.

Narrator: THE NABATAEANS USED MOUNTAINOUS PLACES LIKE VOLCANOS

FOR RITUALISTIC WORSHIP.

THE LOCAL NABATAEANS BELIEVED THAT HILLTOPS WERE SACRED,

AND THEIR PRIESTS USED THEM

TO BASICALLY COMMUNICATE

BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH.

Narrator: IF THESE STRUCTURES ARE RELIGIOUS, HISTORICAL EVIDENCE

SUGGESTS THEY COULD HAVE SERVED A SINISTER PURPOSE.

Pepper: THERE'S A NABATAEAN INSCRIPTION

THAT DESCRIBES CONSECRATING A YOUNG MAN

JUST BEFORE IMMOLATING HIM.

THAT MEANS SETTING HIM ON FIRE.

BUT YOU'VE GOTTA WONDER, COULD THAT ALSO HAVE MEANT

THROWING HIM INTO A VOLCANO?

PERHAPS THE NABATAEANS BUILT THESE GATES TO HOUSE

THE DIVINE STONES TO MARK A PLACE OF WORSHIP

AND HUMAN SACRIFICE.

Narrator: BUT CLOSER ANALYSIS OF THE STRUCTURES IN THE IMAGE

SUGGEST THAT THEY PRE-DATE THE ERA OF THE MIGHTY NABATAEANS.

THE NABATAEANS WOULD HAVE HAD THE TECHNICAL SKILL

AND THE DRIVE TO BUILD ON HIGH GROUND,

BUT THESE STRUCTURES LOOK OLDER AND CERTAINLY LESS COMPLEX.

Narrator: INVESTIGATORS SEARCH FURTHER BACK THROUGH

THE REGION'S HISTORY,

AND LEARN OF A POWERFUL NEIGHBORING CIVILIZATION

CAPABLE OF BUILDING THESE MASSIVE STRUCTURES --

THE SUMERIANS.

THE SUMERIANS ARE PROBABLY THE OLDEST CIVILIZATION ON EARTH

DATING BACK ALMOST FOUR MILLENNIA B.C.

Altaweel: THEY ESTABLISHED THE FIRST CITIES,

THE FIRST LAWS, THE FIRST WRITING.

ALL THESE THINGS ARE IMMENSELY IMPORTANT FOR OUR MODERN WORLD.

IN FACT, THEY'RE THE ONES THAT CAME UP

WITH THE 60-SECOND MINUTE AND THE HOUR.

Narrator: THE SUMERIANS WERE FAMED FOR THE SCALE AND AMBITION

OF THEIR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS.

Altaweel: THEY BUILT MASSIVE STRUCTURES CALLED ZIGGURATS

THAT WERE ESSENTIALLY STEPPED TOWERS

THAT BECAME IMPORTANT TEMPLES.

Narrator: SOME OBSERVERS SPECULATE

THAT THESE GATE-SHAPED STRUCTURES MIGHT BE LINKED

TO THE SUMERIANS' BELIEF

IN A SUBTERRANEAN LAND OF THE DEAD.

THESE GATES MARK THE SPACE BETWEEN THESE TWO WORLDS

WHERE YOU GO FROM ONE TO THE NEXT.

Altaweel: THE SUMERIANS BELIEVED THAT ONCE YOU DIED

YOU GO TO THIS UNDERWORLD.

THEY LIVED THERE AS GHOSTS.

THEIR FAMILIES HAD TO ACTUALLY BRING FOOD AND DRINK.

AND IF THEY DIDN'T BRING FOOD TO THEIR DEAD RELATIVES,

THE DEAD ANCESTORS MAY ACTUALLY COME BACK AND HAUNT THE LIVING.

**

Narrator: INTO THE REALM OF THE DEAD, ACCORDING TO THE SUMERIANS,

ENTERS INANNA,

THE IMMENSELY POWERFUL AND FIERCE GODDESS

OF BEAUTY AND SEX.

SHE MAKES IT HER MISSION TO CONQUER THE UNDERWORLD.

SHE WANTS TO EXTEND HER REALM TO INCLUDE DEATH ITSELF.

TO DO THAT, SHE HAS TO TRAVEL THROUGH THE SEVEN GATES

TO GET TO HELL.

AND AS SHE TRAVELS THROUGH EACH GATE,

SHE HAS TO GIVE UP AN ARTICLE OF CLOTHING

AND BY THE TIME SHE GETS DOWN THERE,

SHE'S COMPLETELY NAKED, STRIPPED OF ALL OF HER POWER.

Narrator: SHE STANDS NAKED BEFORE THE DEVIL,

AND WITH THE DEVIL SHE MAKES A PACT.

THE ONLY WAY FOR HER TO GET OUT OF THERE

IS TO TRADE WITH SOMEBODY ELSE.

SHE DECIDES THE PERFECT CANDIDATE

IS HER CHEATING HUSBAND.

Rose: SHE CHOSE HIM BECAUSE HE NEVER MOURNED HER PASSING.

HE IS SAID TO HAVE TAKEN HER THRONE AND KICKED BACK

WITH A BUNCH OF SLAVE GIRLS.

ONCE HER HUSBAND ENTERS THE UNDERWORLD, SHE IS FREE TO GO.

SO THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS HELL TRULY IS A WOMAN SCORNED.

Narrator: WITHOUT TO BEING ABLE TO INVESTIGATE THE REMOTE SITE

CLOSE UP, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO CONFIRM

IF IT WAS THE SUMERIANS OR ANOTHER ANCIENT CIVILIZATION

WHO BUILT THESE MYSTERIOUS STRUCTURES

ON THE SIDE OF A REMOTE SAUDI VOLCANO.

Rose: IT WOULD TAKE QUITE A LOT OF EFFORT TO BUILD THESE

AND WE DON'T REALLY EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY ARE

OR WHY THEY WERE BUILT.

Narrator: FOR NOW, THE GATES OF HELL REMAIN FIRMLY CLOSED.

**

COMING UP...

THE SCI-FI CRIME-FIGHTING WEAPON OF THE FUTURE.

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHICH WAY YOU RUN,

IT'S GOING TO FOLLOW YOU.

Narrator: AND SUSPICIOUS US MILITARY ACTIVITY SEEN FROM SPACE.

THE U.S. GOVERNMENT IS DEVELOPING DRUGS

THAT THEY HOPE WILL MAKE

U.S. SOLDIERS SORT OF SUPERHUMAN FIGHTING MACHINES.

**

Narrator: THE CHESAPEAKE BAY, MARYLAND.

SATELLITE IMAGES TAKEN OVER 15 YEARS REVEAL AN ISLAND,

SEEMING TO EMERGE FROM THE SEA.

WHAT STARTED OUT AS A VERY SMALL LANDMASS

BECAME LARGER AND LARGER AND LARGER.

IT'S 10 TIMES BIGGER THAN IT WAS UNTIL VERY RECENTLY.

WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON HERE?

Narrator: THE SEA LEVEL HASN'T DROPPED IN THE CHESAPEAKE BAY,

AND THERE'S NO VOLCANIC ACTIVITY IN THE AREA.

THE ISLAND APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN RECLAIMED FROM THE OCEAN.

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT AT THAT EXPENSE,

AT THAT COST, AT THAT LOCATION.

IT'S A COMPLETE MYSTERY.

Narrator: IN 1994, THE U.S. ARMY MAKES A SURPRISING ANNOUNCEMENT.

Carter: THE U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS

ARE BEHIND THE REBUILDING OF THIS ISLAND.

THEY HELP WITH THE FORWARD OPERATING BASES,

THE COMBAT OUTPOSTS, THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

SO, WHY THEY WOULD BE BUILDING AN ISLAND IN THE MIDDLE

OF THE CHESAPEAKE BAY IS KIND OF INTERESTING.

Narrator: ANALYSIS OF THE MOST RECENT SATELLITE IMAGE

REVEALS THAT THE ISLAND HAS BEEN BROKEN INTO SECTORS

BUT HAS NO SIGNIFICANT STRUCTURES.

THERE APPEAR TO BE SOME VERY INTERESTING LAND FORMATIONS

THAT ARE BEING BUILT UP,

THESE CURVED SECTIONS AND THESE CIRCULAR SECTIONS,

THAT DON'T HAVE AN IMMEDIATE, OBVIOUS USE.

BUT IT SEEMS AS IF THEY'RE NOT PUTTING ANY BUILDINGS UP.

SO YOU WOULD THINK THAT IF SOMEBODY WAS GOING TO

RECLAIM THIS LAND,

THAT THERE WOULD BE SOMETHING ON IT,

THAT THEY WOULD DO IT FOR SOME PURPOSE.

BUT THERE'S NOTHING.

IT'S JUST AN EMPTY SPACE OF LAND

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CHESAPEAKE BAY.

Narrator: THE ARMY'S ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT ITS ACTIVITIES

ON THE ISLAND BAFFLES OBSERVERS.

PROBABLY THE STRANGEST THING WAS THE EXPLANATION.

THE U.S. ARMY SAID WELL, IT'S A BIRD SANCTUARY.

I DON'T THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE ACTUALLY BUY THAT STORY.

THIS RESPONSE SEEMS A BIT JAGGED AND HARD TO SWALLOW.

Howard: IT CERTAINLY SEEMS TO BE TREMENDOUS EXPENSE

TO GO TO TO BUILD A WILDLIFE SANCTUARY.

THE COST PER ACRE OF DOING THAT KIND OF WORK

HAS TO REACH INTO THE TENS,

PERHAPS EVEN OVER $100,000 AN ACRE.

Narrator: THEN, IN 2012, AN INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER

FORCES THE U.S. GOVERNMENT TO RELEASE DOCUMENTS

WHICH REVEAL THE CHESAPEAKE BAY'S DARK HISTORY.

Carter: DOCUMENTS ARE DECLASSIFIED BY THE U.S. ARMY

AND THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT

THAT SHOW IN THIS AREA OF THE CHESAPEAKE BAY,

THERE WERE EXPERIMENTS ON U.S. SOLDIERS,

7,000 OF WHICH WERE SUBJECTED

TO THE MOST BIZARRE EXPERIMENTATION.

Narrator: THE DECLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS CONTAIN INFORMATION

ABOUT EDGEWOOD ARSENAL,

A LARGE MILITARY INSTALLATION 43 MILES

TO THE NORTH OF THE NEW ISLAND.

BETWEEN 1948 AND 1975, IT WAS THE CENTER

OF A SECRET U.S. ARMY PROGRAM

DUBBED OPERATION DELIRIUM.

OPERATION DELIRIUM WAS A U.S. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE PROGRAM

TO TEST CHEMICAL AGENTS ON OUR OWN TROOPS

AND SEE WHAT HAPPENED.

Man: ENLISTED VOLUNTEERS WERE ASKED TO TAKE PART

IN A CAREFULLY CONTROLLED TEST.

EACH OF THE VOLUNTEERS RECEIVED A MINUTE DOSE

OF THE PSYCHOCHEMICAL IN COFFEE.

IT WAS KEPT UNDERCOVER BECAUSE OF COURSE THEY KNEW,

YOU KNOW LOOK, THESE ARE HUMAN EXPERIMENTS!

Man: JUST A SMALL QUANTITY OF LSD IS SUFFICIENT TO UPSET

THE NORMAL PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL BEHAVIOR PATTERN.

THEY NO LONGER BEHAVE LIKE WELL-DISCIPLINED TROOPS.

THE DRUGS THEY USED RANGED FROM LSD TO TEAR GAS

TO NERVE AGENTS.

COULD YOU IMAGINE IF TODAY SOMEBODY FOUND OUT

THAT THE U.S. GOVERNMENT WAS INVOLVED

IN EXPERIMENTING ON THE PEOPLE

THAT ARE DEFENDING THEIR NATION?

THAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY USING THEM FOR CHEMICAL EXPERIMENTATION?

Man: THE AGENT PRODUCED SEVERE IRRITATION OF THE EYES,

NOSE, THROAT, AND LUNGS,

HEAVY, LABORED BREATHING, AND SEARING CHEST PAINS.

Narrator: THE CHESAPEAKE BAY ISLAND RAISES FEARS

THAT THE U.S. MILITARY IS ONCE AGAIN

EXPERIMENTING ON ITS OWN TROOPS.

WE DO KNOW THAT TODAY

THE U.S. GOVERNMENT IS DEVELOPING DRUGS

THAT THEY HOPE WILL MAKE U.S. SOLDIERS

SORT OF SUPERHUMAN FIGHTING MACHINES.

THAT WILL MAKE THEM, FOR EXAMPLE, NOT NEED SO MUCH SLEEP,

NOT NEED TO EAT, NOT FEEL AS MUCH FEAR.

Morgan: IF I WENT OUT AND RENTED A BOAT

AND TOOK THAT BOAT RIGHT UP TO THE ISLAND AND PUT IT ASHORE,

THEN GOT UP AND STARTED TO WALK AROUND, WOULD NO ONE CARE?

WOULD I BE GREETED ONLY BY FLOCKS OF BIRDS?

OR WOULD I BE GREETED WITH MEN CARRYING BLACK RIFLES IN UNIFORM

THAT WOULD WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE HELL I WAS DOING THERE?

Narrator: IN 2017, A PROJECT MANAGER AT THE U.S. OPERATION COMMAND

ADMITTED THAT THE MILITARY IS CONSIDERING

USING PERFORMANCE-ENHANCING DRUGS

TO INCREASE SOLDIERS' ABILITIES TO TOLERATE PAIN

AND RECOVER FROM INJURIES.

THE CONCERN IS THAT THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING.

OFTEN GOVERNMENTS WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO INCREASE

THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THEY CAN TRIUMPH OVER THE ADVERSARY.

Narrator: SUSPICIONS ARE FUELED WHEN A FEDERAL REPORT FINDS

THAT THE CHESAPEAKE BAY IS, IN SOME PLACES,

SEVERELY CONTAMINATED WITH TOXIC CHEMICALS,

AND IT'S DOING STRANGE THINGS TO THE LOCAL WILDLIFE.

IT'S BEEN RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT FISH IN THE CHESAPEAKE BAY

HAVE DEVELOPED STRANGE BIOLOGICAL DEFORMATIONS,

SOMETHING THAT'S QUITE ABNORMAL FOR THAT AREA.

Narrator: IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO SAY WHERE THIS CONTAMINATION COMES FROM,

AND IT MAY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH U.S. MILITARY TESTS.

BUT THE PAST STILL HAUNTS THE CHESAPEAKE BAY,

AND THE ISLAND KEEPS ON GROWING.

WE STILL DON'T KNOW FOR CERTAIN WHAT'S GOING ON,

BUT THE ARMY MAINTAINS THAT IT'S BUILDING A BIRD SANCTUARY.

Narrator: COMING UP...

AN EYE IN THE SKY HUNTS KILLERS ON THE GROUND.

Capps: NOT ONLY WAS THERE A WITNESS IN THIS CRIME,

THERE WAS A WITNESS WHO SAW THE WHOLE THING FROM 10,000 FEET.

**

Narrator: AMERICA'S CITIES ARE IN CRISIS.

HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK!

GUN CRIME IS RAMPANT.

THE MURDER RATE SPIRALING OUT OF CONTROL.

IT'S NO SECRET THAT CRIME IS ABSOLUTELY EPIDEMIC

THROUGHOUT AMERICA.

IT'S EVERYWHERE.

Narrator: OVER 1 MILLION VIOLENT CRIMES TAKE PLACE

IN AMERICA EVERY YEAR.

THE POLICE CAN SOLVE LESS THAN HALF OF THEM.

Capps: IMAGINE YOU'RE A HOMICIDE DETECTIVE.

YOU'VE GOT A DEAD BODY.

YOU HAVE NO WITNESSES.

NO MOTIVE. NO WEAPON.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHY THIS BODY IS THERE.

YOU'RE STUCK. THERE'S NO PLACE TO GO.

Narrator: BUT COPS ARE USING REVOLUTIONARY TECHNOLOGY

TO SOLVE THE CRISIS.

AN EYE IN THE SKY.

A SYSTEM OF AIRBORNE CAMERAS THAT CAPTURE

AND RECORD EVERYTHING ON THE STREETS BELOW.

IT'S LIKE THE "ENEMY OF THE STATE" MOVIE.

WHEREVER YOU GO, THERE IS SOMEBODY LOOKING DOWN AT YOU

AND CAN FOLLOW YOU.

AND THIS IS THE FUTURE WE'RE WALKING INTO.

Narrator: THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN DEVELOPED

BY ELECTRONICS ENGINEER ROSS McNUTT.

McNutt: OUR OBJECTIVE IS TO REDUCE CRIME IN A MAJOR CITY.

WE DO THAT BY SOLVING WHAT WOULD OTHERWISE BY UNSOLVABLE CRIMES.

Narrator: IN PREPARATION FOR BEING ROLLED OUT

ACROSS SEVERAL U.S. CITIES,

McNUTT IS TESTING HIS SCI-FI TECH

IN ONE OF NORTH AMERICA'S MOST VIOLENT HOTSPOTS --

JUAREZ, ON THE BORDER BETWEEN TEXAS AND MEXICO.

JUAREZ IS ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS PLACES ON EARTH.

IT'S BASICALLY A LAWLESS LAND.

Carter: JUAREZ IS A BATTLEGROUND FOR THE DRUG CARTELS.

THE CRIME RATE IN JUAREZ SKYROCKETED

AND 95% REMAINED UNSOLVED.

Narrator: POLICE RECEIVE A REPORT OF A MURDER

IN THE CENTER OF THE CITY.

JUST MINUTES LATER, McNUTT GETS THE CALL.

MAN FOUND IN AN ALLEY WAS SHOT.

NO WITNESSES.

Narrator: McNUTT TURNS TO HIS BANK OF VIDEO SCREENS,

WHICH RELAY FOOTAGE FROM 12 CAMERAS

ATTACHED TO AN AIRCRAFT

FLYING 10,000 FEET ABOVE THE CITY.

IT'S THIS MASSIVE LIKE BUG EYE OF CAMERA ARRAYS

THAT THEY JUST CIRCLE THE CITY.

OUR CAMERA SYSTEM IS THE EQUIVALENT

OF ABOUT 800 VIDEO CAMERAS AT ONCE.

WE TAKE A PICTURE EVERY SINGLE SECOND.

EVERY MINUTE YOU HAVE 60 OF THESE IMAGES,

AND EVERYTHING THAT'S CAPTURED ON THERE IS MOVING.

YOU'VE GOT A REAL-TIME MOVING IMAGE OF THE ENTIRE CITY

AND YOU CAN ZOOM IN ON ANY ONE PORTION.

Narrator: THE 192 MILLION-PIXEL SYSTEM CAN COVER A VAST

30-SQUARE-MILE AREA.

COMPUTERS ON THE PLANE STABILIZE THE IMAGES AND STITCH THEM

TOGETHER TO PROVIDE McNUTT

WITH A CONTINUOUS BIRD'S EYE VIEW OF THE CITY BELOW.

WE TAKE THE IMAGES AND IN ABOUT THREE TO FIVE SECONDS,

THAT IMAGE IS AVAILABLE ON THE GROUND,

AND IT'S UPDATED EVERY SINGLE SECOND.

Pappalardo: THESE IMAGES OVERLAP A LITTLE BIT.

THE ALGORITHM KNOWS WHERE THE OVERLAP IS

SO IT CAN CREATE ONE SEAMLESS IMAGE

FROM ALL THESE DISPARATE VIDEO FEEDS.

Narrator: McNUTT REWINDS TIME TO JUST BEFORE THE MURDER TAKES PLACE.

McNutt: RIGHT HERE WE HAVE THREE CARS

AND THE SHOOTER ON FOOT.

THIS IS THEIR LAST PRE-MURDER MEETING.

THEY'RE ACTUALLY GONNA KILL A PERSON RIGHT HERE IN THIS ALLEY.

Narrator: THE KILLER TURNS INTO THE ALLEYWAY.

THE VICTIM DOES NOT MOVE.

IT LOOKS LIKE HE DOESN'T SEE IT COMING.

THE MURDER IS CAPTURED ON CAMERA FROM THE SKIES.

THERE'S YOUR VICTIM, RIGHT THERE IS THE SHOT.

NOT ONLY WAS THERE A WITNESS TO THIS CRIME,

THERE WAS A WITNESS WHO SAW THE WHOLE THING

FROM 10,000 FEET IN THE AIR.

Narrator: THE MURDERERS FLEE THE SCENE.

THERE ARE NO COPS FOLLOWING THEM.

THERE WAS NO CCTV IN THE ALLEYWAY.

BUT IF THEY THINK THEY'VE GOTTEN AWAY, THEY'RE MISTAKEN.

McNutt: BECAUSE WE RECORD A MAJOR PART OF A CITY,

WE CAN GO BACK IN TIME

AND SEE THE CRIME THAT OCCURRED,

FOLLOW THE PEOPLE TO AND FROM MOST CRIME SCENES

TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THEY CAME FROM AND WHERE THEY WENT TO.

Narrator: McNUTT REWINDS THE FOOTAGE EVEN FURTHER.

HE TRACKS THE KILLERS BACK TO THE HOUSES THEY CAME FROM.

IN FACT, HE CAN TRACE EVERYWHERE THEY'VE BEEN

FOR THE LAST FEW HOURS.

Pappalardo: THAT'S A GAME CHANGER IN TERMS

OF LAW ENFORCEMENT AND CITY MANAGEMENT.

EVERYONE WANTS CRIMES TO BE SOLVED.

YOU WANT CRIMINALS TO BE NERVOUS ABOUT GETTING CAUGHT.

Narrator: NOW McNUTT ANALYSES

THE MOMENTS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE MURDER.

THE KILLERS ARE SEEN GETTING BACK INTO THEIR VEHICLES.

McNutt: WE'RE GONNA WATCH THE SHOOTER RUN OFF,

HE'S GONNA GET INTO THAT SECOND VEHICLE.

WE'RE GONNA COME OVER AND FOLLOW THAT SECOND VEHICLE,

AND FIGURE OUT WHERE HE GOES.

Narrator: AS FAR AS THE MURDERERS CAN TELL,

THEY'RE NOT BEING FOLLOWED.

BUT THEY'RE CLEARLY NERVOUS.

McNutt: THERE'S THE CAR IN FRONT PASSING ON THE LEFT,

PASSING ON THE RIGHT,

RUNNING THE RED LIGHT BECAUSE AFTER YOU MURDER

SOMEBODY THE TRAFFIC LAWS DON'T TEND TO APPLY TO YOU.

HERE WE ARE ABOUT FIVE MINUTES AFTER THE MURDER

AND WE'VE ALREADY GOT TWO LOCATIONS

OF WHERE THESE MURDERERS WENT TO.

Narrator: EVERY PLACE THE KILLERS GO THEY REVEAL MORE

ABOUT THEIR ACTIVITIES AND THEIR ACCOMPLICES.

THE EYE IN THE SKY DOESN'T JUST TRACK THE MURDERERS.

IT REVEALS THE HIDEOUTS OF THEIR BOSS, A NARCO KINGPIN.

McNutt: WE'RE ABLE TO FOLLOW THEM FOR THREE AND A HALF HOURS

AFTER THE MURDER.

WE IDENTIFY 12 LOCATIONS, 12 VEHICLES,

TWO CARTEL HEADQUARTERS, THE KILL SQUADS'

OPERATING HOUSES, AND THE PERSON WHO'S PAYING THEM.

Narrator: THE COPS MOVE IN AND MAKE THE ARRESTS.

A CASE WHICH MIGHT HAVE TAKEN MONTHS TO INVESTIGATE

AND MAY NEVER HAVE BEEN SOLVED IS WRAPPED UP IN HOURS.

THE COPS DON'T JUST CATCH THE KILLERS,

THEY BUST A DRUG CARTEL.

ALL THAT FROM A POLICE REPORT THAT SAID,

"MAN FOUND IN AN ALLEYWAY SHOT. NO WITNESSES."

IF YOU'RE A CRIMINAL AND YOU'RE PLANNING

ON COMMITTING A CRIME IN A CITY WITH AN EYE IN THE SKY,

YOU'RE GONNA BE THINKING TWICE ABOUT THIS.

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHICH WAY YOU RUN, IT'S GONNA FOLLOW YOU.

Narrator: AMAZING TECHNOLOGY FOR CATCHING BAD GUYS.

BUT MANY FEAR IT'S ALSO A POTENTIALLY

TERRIFYING INSTRUMENT OF STATE CONTROL.

ON THE ONE HAND, I LIKE EVERY OTHER CONCERNED CITIZEN,

WANTS TO BE SAFE, WANTS MY CHILDREN TO BE SAFE,

WANTS CRIMINALS TO BE CAUGHT.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THERE'S ALWAYS

THAT NAGGING SENSE OF ARE WE GOING TO LIVE

IN A SOCIETY WHERE WE'RE BEING WATCHED ALL THE TIME.

Capps: THIS IS A BIG STEP TOWARDS A FUTURE

WHERE EVERY MOVEMENT YOU MAKE, EVERYTHING YOU DO IS TRACKED.

WHICH COULD BE A UTOPIA WITHOUT CRIME,

OR IT COULD BE BIG BROTHER IN A BIG WAY.
