011. Death on the Mountain
A team of Americans explores a mountain in the Philippines to search for a treasure rumored to have been buried by Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita in the closing months of World War II.
022. X Marks the Spot
Digging continues at Breach-6, but when the team unearths a possible water trap, excavation is put on hold. To find another way into the mountain, the team conducts a LiDAR scan that reveals a cave, perhaps used by Japanese soldiers during the war.
033. Dead Giveaway
After discovering a bomb marker, the team brings in an explosives expert to search a cave that may have been a headquarters of General Yamashita during the war. Inside, they uncover a potential booby trap, along with their first hint of treasure.
044. What Lies Beneath
The team triggers a possible water trap in the cave and is forced to stop digging; Martin Flagg believes the Story Rock indicates a tunnel behind a waterfall, and the team brings in a diver to explore the plunge pools for an entrance.
055. The Backdoor
Unable to find a tunnel at the waterfall, the team is guided by an animal marker to a boulder carved in the shape of a turtle, which leads them to a golden lily symbol indicating a secret backdoor entrance.
066. Nazi Concrete
The team attempts to prove if a tunnel exists behind a unique formation of rocks they believe is a secret backdoor entrance into the mountain.
077. Blood & Conspiracy
As the team zeroes in on a tunnel that may be part of the treasure labyrinth, Bingo learns that part of dictator Ferdinand Marcos' fortune may have been stolen from Yamashita's treasure and uncovers a possible link to a CIA conspiracy.
088. Tunnel Found
Peter meets with a man who warns of the deathly risks in searching for Yamashita's treasure; the team clears the last obstacles and finds a secret tunnel directly into the mountain.
