Episodes

Episode 1 Aired Mar 17, 2026 Escaping Armageddon In the razor's-edge theater of global brinkmanship, the world has come closer to annihilation than most ever knew. A NATO war game once spooked the Soviets toward a potential nuclear strike, while a daring Cold War project produced a drone-bomber hybrid capable of carrying 16 nuclear weapons. From experimental war machines to the Presidential "Doomsday Plane" built to command America through apocalypse, these are the plans that reveal how near we've stood to the unthinkable. Details Episode 2 Aired Mar 24, 2026 Top Secret Sites Step inside hidden areas where history was steered in secret, from Churchill's wartime bunker, complete with a direct line to FDR concealed inside his private bathroom, to a Soviet weapons base in the desert exposed only by a daring U-2 spy mission. Details Episode 3 Aired Mar 31, 2026 Buried Secrets David Duchovny exposes a clandestine nuclear blast set off deep below Mississippi soil, secret experiments conducted on citizens in the New York subway system, and a wartime bunker built to trap British spies underground during a Nazi invasion. Details Episode 4 Aired Apr 7, 2026 Black Ops A French Resistance operative hides explosives in baguettes to cripple a Nazi factory, an American soldier parachutes behind enemy lines to destroy critical supply routes, and Ukrainian forces deploy AI-guided drones to strike a Russian bomber fleet. Across generations, David Duchovny takes us behind these covert operations propelled by the courage and calculation meant to alter the course of history. Details Episode 5 Aired Apr 14, 2026 Bizarre Weapons Desperation breeds invention - and not all of it conventional. From a British scheme to launch airborne balloons against Nazi Germany, to American bats fitted with incendiary devices, to a covert effort to manipulate monsoon rains in Vietnam, newly unearthed documents reveal how far nations were willing to bend reality to their will. In the risky calculus of war, nothing is too strange to try. Details Episode 6 Aired Apr 21, 2026 Cracking the Code When secrecy can be the key to survival, codebreaking becomes a battlefield of its own. A stranded American pilot in Vietnam is rescued through a code built around familiar golf courses, while Navajo Code Talkers transmit messages that help turn the tide in the Pacific during World War II. David Duchovny breaks down every breakthrough where a strategist turned language into leverage. Details Episode 7 Airs Apr 28 Secret Units Behind official policy often stand unofficial actors. Discover the audacious operations of Red Cell, the covert Navy SEAL team that staged attacks on U.S. bases to expose deadly weaknesses; "The Shop," the CIA's clandestine cadre of expert thieves and lock pickers who stole secrets worldwide; and the Alamo Scouts, the elite World War II special forces whose exploits remained a hidden chapter of history for decades. These units thrived where denial was policy, kept in the dark. Details Episode 8 Airs May 5 Extraordinary Experiments When science meets national security, the results can be staggering; the secretive flights of Project Argus, that sent nuclear warheads into space to test whether radiation could cripple Soviet weapons, while Operation LAC covertly released chemical agents over American communities to simulate biological warfare; inside Stalin's secretive laboratory, even human waste became intelligence, analyzed to decipher the minds of adversaries - proof that no angle was too extraordinary to explore. Details Episode 9 Airs May 12 Smoke and Mirrors Some of history's boldest missions succeeded because the world was looking the wrong way. The CIA concealed covert missions behind Air America's civilian façade, British intelligence planted a falsified invasion plan on a corpse to mislead Hitler, and "Agent Sonya" blended into English suburbia while funneling atomic secrets to Moscow. David Duchovny takes us into the long-spun elaborate tales governments have employed to blanket their boldest missions, showing us how the illusion works. Details
