Disc 1
Episode 1 The War Against Drugs

Rehab can be murder. Soon after Brian starts treatment for alcoholism, a chance remark sends him on the trail of an unsolved death. The rest of the team is supposed to stay away, but they can't resist joining in.

Episode 2 Death of a Timeshare Salesman
A former call girl finds God and confesses her sins, including one that leads the team to reconsider the death of a dodgy timeshare dealer. What was formerly judged a suicide may be murder, especially when a fingerprint points towards a notorious criminal.

Episode 3 The Truth Is Out There
When the team reopens the case of a respected journalist's death, they confront UFO conspiracy theories and American government cover-ups. What did the journalist see before he died? Did he really kill himself, or was he murdered?

Disc 2
Episode 4 Shadow Show

When disturbing clips from a 1990 film noir are posted on the Internet, the team takes another look at an actress's disappearance and a producer's murder. Brian and Jack learn more than they want to know about modern policing.

Episode 5 The Last Laugh
After celebrating Gerry's birthday at a comedy club, the team reinvestigates the 25-year-old disappearance of two young political activists. Their inquiry leads to an extreme right-wing group with links to Ricky Hanson, the man who murdered Jack's wife.

Episode 6 Fresh Starts
After a desperate man insists that he saw his dead wife at a playground, Gerry agrees to help him learn the truth. An exhumation and a DNA test raise more questions than they answer. Meanwhile, Brian has problems at home.

Disc 3
Episode 7 Blood Is Thicker Than Water

Jack intervenes in a dispute on a luxury yacht and learns surprising news about a deadly riverboat disaster. At the time, it was called an accident, but the daughter of a tug captain insists it was sabotage-and she has a witness.

Episode 8 Meat Is Murder
Decades after a butcher went missing, his body is found neatly cut into pieces. While reinvestigating a related murder, the team uncovers more connections than they expected. Gerry is forced to confront his past, and Sandra makes a shocking discovery.
