| 0:00.0 | Picture Miami. Picture its beaches. Picture three radio journalists assassinated in cold blood. |
| 0:09.2 | This is silenced, the radio murders. |
| 0:12.4 | You left the body there for reason. It was the calling card. It's like the mafia used to do. |
| 0:17.2 | The mastermind has never been caught. To find him, we had to go deep into a world of drugs and darkness. |
