Pilot
Casey is taken off the streets where she's been working as an undercover hooker and finds herself reassigned to the Second Precinct, effective immediately. She meets her new partner, Jason Walsh, whose last partner, Detective Burt Kowalski, was just murdered. Tasked with tracking down the murderer, Walsh races off to investigate Kowalski's past, with Shraeger trailing behind. As the duo seeks out the cop killer, the secrets and eccentricities of the rest of the department begin to emerge: Prank-magnet and social climber Detective Eddie Alvarez has no qualms about stealing cases, as long as he can turn them into front-page stories that make him look good; Detective Eric Delahoy is trying to get himself killed in the line of duty for reasons known only to him and his doctor; his partner, Leo Banks, is convinced he is going to die and refuses to take off his bulletproof vest; and the very religious Detective Henry Cole is trying to keep his unholy past from both his streetwise partner, Alison Beaumont, and from his boss, Sgt. Brown), who is struggling to rid the Second Precinct of corruption.

One of New York's oldest family of criminals, the Boorlands, go on a crime spree that has the detectives running all over the city. When Walsh and Shraeger learn the surprising reason behind the family's cluster of crimes, they use this information to negotiate its end. Meanwhile, Sergeant Brown tells Shraeger that Walsh's former partner, Kowalski, was a dirty cop and asks her to dig into Walsh's past; and Cole's efforts to keep his criminal past a secret are threatened by the arrival of Frank Lutz, Cole's former partner in crime.

Banks and Delahoy discover a store that sells people murder weapons and instructs them on how to dispose of bodies. They set up a sting, and all is going as planned until a battered woman steals some poison from the store. Meanwhile, Davis Nixon asks Casey to get a client's son out of a bogus resisting arrest charge, as a personal favor. Just as Casey gets the man off the hook, Alvarez realizes the guy's the suspect he's looking for in a hit and run case. And when Cole and his fiancee meet with their minister to discuss their wedding, Frank Lutz shows up and asks Cole for a big favor, threatening otherwise to expose their past together.

Crime Slut
Beaumont's looming eviction and mounting financial struggles lead her to a pawn shop in search of some quick cash. While hocking her jewelry, a man and woman rob the store and take the watch that Beaumont borrowed from Walsh. When the same woman robs a wedding dress shop with a different man, Shraeger and Walsh take up the search for the 'crime slut,' whom Beaumont desperately wants to find before they do. Meanwhile, Banks and Delahoy search for a missing man who was pronounced dead right before he vanished.

42
Cole receives a disturbing call from Lutz, who believes Walsh knows he killed Kowalski and is on his way to Walsh's diner. Lutz poses as a customer and strikes up a conversation with Walsh before pulling a gun and firing. Lutz escapes and Walsh discovers that one stray bullet went through the diner into his apartment, striking Beaumont. Cole fears for his future as Walsh and Casey begin to uncover pieces of his past relationship with Lutz. Meanwhile, Banks continues to be haunted by the number 42 while he and Delahoy investigate a string of bus robberies. One passenger, a clairvoyant, tries to help them catch the robber with her predictions, causing Banks to question whether fate can be stopped.

Then a ransom call is made asking for $10 million for his safe return. Meanwhile, Banks and Delahoy are put on the case of an 87- year-old man on a geriatric crime spree.

The Dentist
While Sergeant Brown is away, Alvarez is in charge, and things aren't going well. A U.S. Marshall named Foster convinces Alvarez to release Bo Keebler, a man recently collared for trying to rob a Chinese restaurant, into his custody.
