From the beaches of Malibu to the streets of East Los Angeles, this fast moving drama takes viewers inside the lives of cops, criminals, victims and their families. In the series premiere, John Cooper (series star MICHAEL CUDLITZ), a seasoned Los Angeles police officer and his rookie trainee, Ben Sherman (series star BEN McKENZIE), respond to a call that ends in a deadly shoot-out – and Ben is left questioning whether or not he has what it takes to become a police officer. Even though John is cool to the new recruit and his straitlaced "Beverly Hills" past, his honed insight and honest, no-nonsense advice is invaluable to the young rookie: "Look sharp, act sharp, be sharp. You do what they teach you in the academy, you will die."

Neela is disappointed when she finds out Abbys good news secondhand. When a gunshot wound victim comes into the ER, the new chief, Catherine Banfield, and Abby butt heads on how to treat the patient. Abby comes to Sams (series star Linda Cardellini) defense when she goes before a nurses disciplinary board.

When philanthropist Tim Dunlear (guest star Michasha Armstrong) is found dead, Lucifer explores his good side by becoming a benefactor for Tim's glitzy Los Angeles charity.

The overnight crew becomes immersed in a bizarre car-accident rescue, meanwhile Drew serves overseas in Afghanistan and teams with a colleague to treat an Afghani woman; a spunky grad joins the shift.

The team works frantically to find a young car accident victim while Drew and Syd handle a potentially fatal situation in Afghanistan.
