Season 3 Episode 9: Yamashita’s Gold

This week’s episode turns to history’s greatest story of war loot - the legend of Yamashita's Gold. During WW2, it's said the Japanese Imperial Army had a covert, systematic looting operation in place and amassed a huge fortune. But in June 1942, the tide of the war turned and the stolen gold was apparently hidden in 175 different locations throughout the Philippines. Yamashita’s Gold captivated Roger Roxas and after a decade of hunting he decided to risk everything to find it once and for all. Roger's quest led him to cross President Ferdinand Marcos - one of the most brutal dictators of the 20th century.
