Hip Hop Homicide
Christopher Jones, a rising hip-hop star, was killed outside a nightclub in Orlando, Florida; he was shot 6 times with a semi automatic machine gun. The shooter fled the scene leaving the local community outraged. In an effort to help track down the killer, Jones's parents put up a $10,000 reward and the tips have been flying in ever since. Informants say the fugitive, along with his mom and aunt, have fled Florida for the Bronx. Commander Lenny DePaul assembles a rock solid crew to work the case, and puts newcomer Deputy Roland Ubaldo in charge. Roland, a recent Iraq war veteran wants to prove himself so he makes sure his A-team - which includes Sr. Inspector Mike Romani, Deputy Nick Ricigliano and Deputy Michelle "Michy" Mendez -- hits every known address associated with their fugitive. But the clock is ticking and the big worry is the trail may go cold if they don't catch him in the next 24 hours.

Needle In A Haystack
Fugitive Task Force Detective Barry Johnson receives a priority case and briefs up Commander Lenny DePaul and Detective John "JP" Petroski on the assignment. A warrant was issued for a man who allegedly kidnapped and brutally raped a woman in New Jersey. Miraculously the victim was able to escape, but their fugitive is allegedly on the run with her vehicle. With a thirty page rap sheet that extends through 5 states, the task force tracks him down to Eastern Tennessee. Days behind their target and frightened that he could attack again, they race to catch up with him before he does any more damage. Out of their element and deep in the mountains and rural back woods, the team has to adapt and move quickly to get ahead of their elusive target.

Relentless
Commander Lenny Depaul along with Detective Kevin Searing and Detective Sergeant Luddie Austin go state-to-state to hunt down a man wanted for first degree murder and weapons possession.

Last Dance
When an innocent Massachusetts family hears a knock on their door at six a.m., they assume it's a relative. But when they open the door, two armed and masked intruders allegedly barge in demanding money. When their demands aren't met, the intruders threaten to kill the children. Luckily the mother escapes, and her cries for help force the suspects to flee. While one of the suspects is apprehended almost immediately, the other--a woman--eludes police for weeks, until finally a tipster informs the US Marshals that the fugitive is working as an exotic dancer somewhere in the Bronx. Commander Lenny DePaul, Detective Roxanne Lopez, and Inspector Dennis Tait, together with a team of fugitive hunters from Massachusetts, go undercover to strip clubs to ferret out this most wanted woman.

Catching A Predator
Senior Inspector Mike Romani and his partner Deputy Michelle "Michy" Mendez get a troubling case involving a Level three sex offender-the type of criminal classified as the most likely to re-offend. He's wanted on a probation violation for failing to register as a sex offender, and now he's sought after for questioning in the sexual assault of a 7-year-old boy. The fugitive has eluded police for six months but new information puts him on Mike and Michy's turf-the South Bronx-where the fugitive has many family members. The Task Force works overtime for fear that their sex offender might put more children in harms way, all the while being mindful that they increase the risk of tipping off their fugitive with each family member they meet.

In The Wind
ICE Supervisor Tommy Kilbride has been chasing a dangerous fugitive wanted in the questioning of an attempted murder and illegally re-entering into the United States. After four years of searching, the case finally has a big break and Tommy along with Deportation Officer Dennis Carroll enlist the help of Commander Lenny DePaul in their manhunt. Tommy and Dennis think they've found their fugitive living with a girlfriend in Miami, Florida. The problem is the lead is shaky at best, but it seems worth the risk if they have a chance of putting this fugitive behind bars. Lenny, Tommy, Dennis and their team meet up with US Marshals in Florida to track down their target. What starts as surveillance turns into an intricate manhunt and the team has to sort through fact and fiction as they try to stay one step ahead of their target.

Mother On The Run
Fugitive Task Force Detectives Barry Johnson and John "JP" Petroski meet with Commander Lenny DePaul to discuss a troubling new case involving a mother wanted for the brutal attack on her own two children. The children, ages 8 and 12, are now safe, but the mother is on the run. With no family ties and no work history, she goes off the grid and is nearly impossible to find. The team has very little to go on, but they follow a lead into the area outside Camden, New Jersey, and at their first hit, they get lucky. They discover the name of the fugitive's boyfriend. But the hunt becomes a near impossible challenge when the boyfriend turns out to be as elusive as the fugitive.

Gimme Shelter
Commander Lenny DePaul and his team of Marshals from the Manhattan office of the Fugitive Task Force are in the midst of a sweep rounding up some of the regions most wanted sex offenders. Deputy U.S. Marshal Michelle "Michy" Mendez finds herself with a priority case: she's on the trail of a man wanted for sexual assault on a young girl. With such a young victim the case becomes personal for Michy and her team, but they must put their feelings aside if they want to catch their fugitive. The hunt leads Michy to familiar ground--The Bronx and Washington Heights--but the fugitive is equally comfortable here having a large network of friends and family in the area. Michy and her team race to put the pieces together in their hunt before the fugitive can escape their grasp.

The Streets Talk
When you know the streets, the streets know you. Just ask Detective Sergeant Luddie Austin, who grew up in the 7.2 square mile city of Trenton, NJ and continues to work there today on the Task Force. Luddie brings a priority case to the attention of Commander Lenny DePaul. A 20-year-old is on the run after allegedly holding someone up at knifepoint. As is often the case, Luddie knows the fugitive. He has even arrested him before. But knowing the perp and knowing the streets means the streets know you and the perp knows your moves, so when Luddie, Detective Kevin Searing, Lenny and other task force members start knocking on doors, news travels fast, and the fugitive manages to stay one step ahead of them at every turn. If the Marshals can't move faster than the news, then they'll make have to find other ways to make it impossible for him to hide.

The Latin King
Commander Lenny DePaul's Fugitive Task Force members in South Jersey, Detective John Hayes and Detective Sergeant Mark Rowe, are working a marathon manhunt. Nine years ago, their fugitive, a high-ranking member of the violent Latin Kings gang, allegedly kidnapped a man and shot him 23 times. Miraculously, the victim lived. After the shooting, the fugitive went underground--and stayed there. His known associates and family stonewalled. Marshals speculated that the extensive, international network this gang is famous for might have helped to keep the fugitive hidden. But the South Jersey Office of the Fugitive Task Force gets a break: while going through records, they realize that the fugitive has been flying for years to and from Puerto Rico. With the help of the Puerto Rico Task Force, headed by Acting Commander Tony Torres, the team combs the small, rough town where their fugitive might be hiding.

Slippery
The streets of Camden just got a little more dangerous when a well-known criminal is wanted on four counts of attempted murder in connection with a bloody home invasion. No ordinary criminal, he's also wanted for kidnapping and sexually assaulting his ex-girlfriend. Commander Lenny DePaul, along with Sergeant John Hunsinger and Detective Sergeant Ed Fallon and the rest of his stellar team from the Camden Division of the Task Force are busy working day and night to catch one of their most slippery felons yet. The Marshals suspect that this fugitive has the help of a tight network keeping tabs on their every move and so Lenny and his team are extra cautious when coming up with different strategies to catch this guy. Things get extremely dangerous when the chase leads them into a dark alley--even the dogs come out on this case.

Chasing A Ghost
When Fugitive Task Force Investigator John Hunsinger discovers that a murder suspect from his town is hiding out in Puerto Rico, he briefs Commander Lenny DePaul and Detective Roxanne Lopez about the case. The team flies to San Juan and joins up with the Puerto Rico Task Force to hunt down the fugitive. The team hopes to grab the murder suspect quickly, but tracking a fugitive through the coastal towns and rural mountainsides of Puerto Rico proves to be more difficult than expected. What starts out as a simple plan becomes dangerous nightmare.

Catch Me If You Can
ICE Supervisor Tommy Kilbride finds himself with a newly energized cold case. His rookie Deportation Officer, Bryan Flanagan, just worked up a new lead that puts Tommy and his team back on the trail of a dangerous fugitive who was convicted for armed robbery and assault and deported over ten years ago. Turns out their target has slipped back into the country illegally. Tommy's been chasing this fugitive for years. At one point, he had him on the phone, but the fugitive taunted Tommy and ended the call with, "catch me if you can." He intends to do just that. Tommy has developed information that their target could be hiding in Orlando. Turns out their fugitive is quite a ladies' man and is possibly staying with several different women. Lenny and Tommy head down to Florida. Close on the fugitive's trail, they must navigate a web of relationships and conflicting stories to try to get to truth about where there fugitive is hiding.

Just One Step Behind
Hunting down fugitives with ties to dangerous gangs is a high priority for Commander Lenny DePaul's Fugitive Task Force, especially when those fugitives are armed and dangerous. After a ranking member of the Bloods street gang flees a hospital in Trenton, NJ with a suspected self-inflicted gunshot wound, Lenny asks two of his all-stars -- Detective Kevin Searing and Detective Sergeant Luddie Austin -- to lead the hunt. The two begin to scour the streets and find that people are unwilling to provide information on the fugitive's whereabouts, afraid of retaliation from local gang members. Working with very few leads, Luddie must rely on his vast network of street contacts to stay ahead of the target. The fear is that the next person the fugitive shoots won't be himself.

Couple On The Run
Late one night, after a drug deal gone awry, a man is shot, fleeing the scene while running for his life. He ultimately collapses behind a dumpster and ends up on life support. Spring Valley Detective Roxanne Lopez puts on her US Marshal's hat as she tracks down the two key suspects--a boyfriend and girlfriend--wanted in connection to this attempted murder. When this dangerous duo appears to have skipped town, Roxy won't quit, pulling an all-nighter. An unexpected clue leads the team to look in an entirely different direction, and Roxy and Commander Lenny DePaul find themselves hundreds of miles away in Amish country hoping to give the fugitives an early morning wake-up call.

Officer On The Run
ICE Senior Special Agents Jerry Di Napoli and Hector Colon bring Commander Lenny DePaul a very unusual and challenging international case. Six years ago a Jamaican police officer allegedly shot and killed a ten year-old girl while chasing a young man through a crowded market. Before the Jamaican authorities were able to arrest him, he fled. For the next six years local authorities hunted the alleged killer all over Jamaica. Jerry and Hector have recently learned that the fugitive may have fled to the United States and could be living in the New York area. But their only lead is thin at best. Given the severity of the crime Lenny, Jerry and Hector must find a lead in the hunt and pick up the trail of their target who was trained as a cop, thinks like a cop, knows how to use weapons and is possibly armed. They must move quickly and carefully if they are to catch their fugitive.
