1. Inside Cocaine Submarines
Colombian drug traffickers are using a new secret weapon to smuggle cocaine north: drug submarines.

2. Biker Chicks: Leather and Lace
Like any bride-to-be Jennifer Chaffin worries about the flowers, the dress, the cake.

Chaffin is a hardcore biker and head of the Leather and Lace Motorcycle Club; and window of a murdered Warlock. Now she's marrying another outlaw biker, a member of the notorious Mongols. For the first time cameras enter an outlaw world where wives and girlfriends describe themselves as male 'property'; where men openly display their disregard and disrespect for them; and where weddings are blessed by an 80-strong motorcycle guard of honor.
