Metropolitan Police Department organization, begins conducting an investigation into the violent activities of a local gang called the “K Street Crew.” Gang members are suspected of involvement in several area homicides. The FBI approaches several witnesses, hoping to convince them to testify against the gang members. Seven potential witnesses are murdered during the course of the investigation. In 1996, a witness who returns to the neighborhood to attend a party is killed just a week before she is to testify against the gang. The FBI must work diligently in order to build a homicide case against a gang that not only has the community so fearful that they remain silent, but also tracks down anyone who does help authorities and has them killed.

The Atlanta Prison Riot (S06E10): On the morning of November 23, 1987 Cuban prisoners at the Atlanta Federal Prison start setting fires. The inmates break out homemade weapons and steal handcuffs and radios from prison employees. A Cuban prisoner chases a prison officer across the yard, threatening to slit his throat. A tower guard shoots the prisoner dead. By 10:50 the Cubans control most of the central buildings. Local and state police, fire and emergency rescue teams and the Atlanta FBI rush to the prison. Agents are sent to the East Gate, where inmates and detainees are turning themselves into authorities. De-briefing reports at the gate reveal that 79 hostages are being held in the chapel and the American dorm. Military Delta forces are called in and begin gathering intelligence about the identities and movements of hostages. They install closed circuit TV cameras with motion detectors and alarms, while inside, inmates fashion swords by the thousands. The FBI is forced to negotiate with the hostile prisoners to end the standoff as quickly and as peacefully as possible.
