- Chronicles the final months of the hunt for Osama bin Laden.
- August 27, 2010. Three CIA officers inform CIA Director Leon Panett that agents have tracked a courier with deep Al Qaeda ties to a heavily protected fortress at the end of a dead-end street in Abbottabad, Pakistan. It may be the end of the race to apprehend and bring to justice the mastermind of the most consequential terrorist attack in American history: Osama bin Laden. Wallace delivers new information collected from families who lost loved ones on 9/11, shares what relatives of SEAL Team Six went through, and brings us inside the tense Situation Room during the raid.
