Plot synopsis
John Kelly and Andy Sipowicz are detectives in the 15th squad. Sipowicz is the elder partner but is a drunk and a threat to the partnership lasting much longer. Kelly has a genuine affection for his partner but becomes increasingly exasperated by Sipowicz's behavior. In the pilot, Sipowicz is shot by Alphonse Giardella, a suspect that he had insulted in court. This leads to his decision to sober up and save his job.
Whilst his partner is recuperating, Kelly is teamed up by the squad's Lieutenant, Arthur Fancy, with a young cop from Anti-Crime, James Martinez. Kelly's personal life is no less frenetic as he is going through a divorce from his wife, Laura, and is embarking on an affair with a uniformed cop, Janice Licalsi. To complicate matters further, Licalsi has been ordered to do a 'hit' on Kelly by mob boss Angelo Marino, otherwise Marino would turn in Licalsi's father, who is on his payroll. Instead, Licalsi murders Marino and the repercussions come back to haunt both her and Kelly.

by: Димна завесаРоден съм в черна немотия
тъй както дядо ми и аз!
Баща ми също бе от тия
родените в злощастен час!
Отдавна мъката е с нас
и както моите деди!
В бедняшки гроб ще легна аз!
Над мене няма герб да бди!
Отдавна мъката е с нас!
Родените в злощастен час!
