A single father, Westings works hard to provide for his daughter, whom he loves greatly. Westings is very passionate about protecting and serving the people of Detroit, as well, but he is highly disillusioned about the state of affairs in the city. As a result, Westings is increasingly willing to "cross the line," both to ensure justice and to make a profit. Brittany Snow, 26 (2/3/3/3/2) as Officer Sara Bernhardt (22), a rookie Detroit Police officer, assigned as partner to Sergeant Michael Westings. Snow is a true idealist, who joined the police officer in hopes of helping improve the city, having watched its plight from nearby Redford. Snow becomes close to Detective Ryan Fleming during the first season. Kenny Johnson, 48 (3/3/3/2/2) as Detective James Marrow (48), a Detroit Police Investigator with twenty-five years of experience. Married with children Marrow is the quintessential realist, whose committed to solving crimes, but willing to bend the rules where necessary to ensure public safety. Marrow is expected to make Lieutenant next time an investigatory position opens. Marrow is very close to his partner, Ryan Fleming. Noah Wyle, 40 (3/4/4/3/3) as Detective Ryan Fleming (31), a Detroit Police Investigator with eight years years of experience. Highly educated, Fleming lives by the book in his professional life, though he gives off a cool demeanor. Fleming is single but he is very close to his partner, Detective James Marrow, and Officer Sara Bernhardt. Andre Braugher, 49 (3/3/4/3/3) Captain Harvey Dockman (51), the day shift commander at the 8th precinct. A twenty-eight year veteran of the Detroit Police Officer, Dockman graduated from the academy the same year as Westings, and was Westings' partner for several years. Westings rose faster through the ranks, however, because of his greater capacity for undercover work. Tamara Tunie, 53 (2/2/3/2/2) as Dr. Leona Packer (46), MD, a Wayne County medical examiner. Packer is a twenty-year veteran of the Wayne County ME's office, having joined the County immediately following her graduation from University of Detroit Mercy Medical School. Packer is good friends with Sergeant Westings and Captain Dockman, both of whom she knows from her first days of work. Tracy Marrow, 54 (4/2/2/2/2) as Tayzon Prince (54), the leader of the resurgent Young Boys, Inc. gang. Prince is highly educated, possessing both a BA and a MBA from Wayne State University, but he is also highly capable on the street.

Recurring Guests Christopher Walken, 69 (5/5/5/4/5) as James Mackey, the owner of a chain of used car dealerships. McCoy is an excellent businessman and an upstanding member of the community, whose renowned for his commitment to his employees.

Mackenzie Rosman, 22 (0/3/3/0/1) as Emily Westings, Westings' 17 year old daughter. Emily is incredibly smart, often too much so for her own good, but she is also remarkably naive. She continues to mourn her mother, who died of breast cancer several years ago, but she gets by by focusing on her schoolwork. Westings is a horrible driver, devastating her father's car in the season premiere. She dreams of attending the University of Michigan. Mary McDonnell, 60 (4/3/4/2/4) as Joan Bowman (57), the First Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan. A veteran prosecutor, Bowman is well-respected for her work, though she is notorious amongst police for her internal affairs investigations. Whenever the federal government takes control of the Detroit Police Department, or simply investigates it, Bowman plays a key role. Edited by Samantha McClellan, Sep 29 2012, 08:31 AM.

S1, E1 Make Lemonade (Series Premiere) Sergeant (and soon Lieutenant) Michael Westings disrupts an armed robbery at a used car dealership while off-duty with his daughter, successfully scaring off the culprits after a short gun battle. Westings and his partner return to the scene later that day, meeting with Detectives James Marrow and Ryan Fleming, who caught the case. The Detectives think there is more to the crime than simple robbery and Westings agrees. The owner of the dealership is completely unhelpful, however, stating that the robbery attempt simply confuses him. The Detectives run down several leads while Westings returns to the street but, rather quickly, Westings discovers evidence that the robbery is anything but random. Westings' partner is called back to the station, so Westings returns to the car dealership alone. The Sergeant confronts the owner, James Mackey, who admits that "I don't only deal in cars." Mackey theorizes that the Young Boys Inc., a 1970s street gang going through a resurgence, likely sponsored the robbery. Mackey offers Westings a reward if Westings agrees to "look the other way and take care of this for me," but Westings refuses, promising "I'll be back with a warrant." Westings returns to the station house to see his partner packing his desk. The partner explains that he is being forced into early retirement, thanks to a new round of budget cuts. Westings confronts his commanding officer, Captain Harvey Dockman, who confirms that "you're on your own now." Dockman also tells Westings that "there is no longer a Lieutenant's position for you," and assigns Westings a new partner, rookie Officer Sara Bernhardt. The Sergeant is furious about the sudden change of affairs; he only gets angrier when he learns that Marrow and Fleming are abandoning the investigation into the armed robbers. Returning to the car dealership that night, Westings accepts Mackey's offer, and makes the case his top priority the next day. Learning the name of one culprit from a CI, Westings finds the man's house, and orders Bernhardt to follow him. Westings breaks into the culprit's home, meanwhile, and steals the gun used in the robbery. Bernhardt follows the culprit to a warehouse, where Westings meets her. The two bond while staking out the place. Westings then realizes that the warehouse is a drug distribution center. Using contacts from the street, Westings gets the information necessary to warrant a search, and the police raid the warehouse. Marrow and Fleming lead the raid, quickly securing hundreds of pounds of narcotics, and a half dozen criminals including the main culprit from the armed robbery. While the rest of the officers are busy handling the bust, Westings plants the gun in an obvious place, where CSI later finds it. Bernhardt sees Westings plant the gun, though Westings does not realize this. Captain Dockman commends Marrow, Fleming, Westings, and Bernhardt on the bust, which got the department positive media attention. Benhardt tries to report Westings to Dockman but the Captain, who is an old friend of Westings', tells her to drop it. Worried for her position, Bernhardt complies. Marrow and Fleming catch wind of it, however, leading both to wonder about Westings, whose record is already questionable. Westings meets with Mackey at the end of the night and Mackey handsomely reimburses the Police Sergeant. Westings runs into Bernhardt by accident a few minutes later and, a moment after that, several Young Boys gangsters attempt to kill the two officers. Guest Star(s): Christopher Walken, 69 (5/5/5/4/5) as James Mackey Mackenzie Rosman, 22 (2/3/3/3/1) as Emily Westings Richard Dean Anderson, 62 (4/4/4/1/2) as the Sergeant's partner Edited by Samantha McClellan, Sep 29 2012, 08:28 AM.

S1, E2 Revenge Sergeant Michael Westings and Officer Sara Bernhardt nearly lose a protracted gun battle with three Young Boys gangsters after being ambushed while off duty. A local shopkeeper saves the officers by joining the firefight, killing one criminal and injuring another. Police arrive on scene a few minutes later. Westings and Bernhardt return to the station, where a panicked Emily Westings arrives, having heard someone was killed during a shoot out at a restaurant her father frequents. Detective James Marrow and Detective Ryan Fleming take the case, quickly locating the injured attacker, but they fail to find any further information. The attacker refuses to turn on his accomplice except in return for full immunity. Westings sets out to investigate on his own while Bernhardt stays at the precinct, where she is comforted by Fleming. Westings finds the arrested gangster's girlfriend, unlawfully detains her, and coerces her into revealing the name of the accomplice. Recognizing that he cannot simply phone in an anonymous tip, Westings pretends to let slip to the girl that he is going to camp out a known Young Boys establishment, then he releases her. Westings picks up Bernhardt and proceeds to the restaurant where, sure enough, the attacker shows up to finish the job. Westings is waiting for him, though, and easily subdues him. Marrow and Fleming interview the girl that Westings detained and the Detectives quickly become suspicious, though the girl refuses to give any information. They are recalled to the station when Westings returns with the other culprit. The two Detectives talk to the Captain about the matter but he dismisses their suspicions, stating that "the important thing here is that two criminals are off the streets." One of the Young Boys gangsters promises to Westings, at the end of the episode, that "this isn't over." Guest Star(s): Mackenzie Rosman, 22 (2/3/3/3/1) as Emily Westings |

S1, E3 Escort Captain Dockman assigns Detective Marrow, Detective Fleming, and Officer Bernhardt to investigate a series of muggings of prostitutes. Bernhardt goes undercover as part of the job with Marrow and Fleming assisting. Sergeant Westings continues regular patrol, meanwhile, as Dockman cannot afford to take a beat sergeant off patrol. James Mackey calls Westings to ask that he provide escort for a shipment of highly valuable stolen goods. Westings agrees to help out, scaring off the Young Boys when they show up in a clear bid to jack it, but then running into a severe problem with the Farmington Police pull over the truck. Westings tells the Farmington cops that the truck is taking part in a sting, which only infuriates them. Westings apologizes profusely for stepping on their turf and agrees to leave. The Farmington officers, more concerned with jurisdiction than anything else, do not bother to ask to search the truck. Mackey orders the truck to take a new route and assigns another person to help Westings defend it. Westings quickly realizes the other person is the prostitute mugger that Dockman badly wants captured. Realizing he cannot directly arrest the man, Westings just does his best to convince him to "have fun at night," and tries to point him in the direction of Bernhardt. The assailant mugs another two prostitutes during the episode before, finally, he picks up Bernhardt, who arrests him with the help of Marrow and Fleming. Despite the mugger's arrest, Westings gets the shipment to its destination on schedule, and Mackey rewards him significantly. Westings returns to the station to see Bernhardt commended by Dockman, whose very happy with the end result. Bernhardt and Fleming become better acquainted during the episode, as a definite tension comes to exist. Guest Star(s): Christopher Walken, 69 (5/5/5/4/5) as James Mackey |

S1, E4 Sweep Day Captain Dockman orders officers, detectives, and support personnel to team up for the annual "sweep day," when the precinct focuses all of its resources on executing standing warrants for arrest. Dockman orders Westings to lead one team, comprised of Marrow, Fleming, and Bernhardt, to tack down about fifty individuals wanted for various crimes. The team spends much of the day tracking down these various individuals, most of whom come quietly, but a number of whom resist. Fleming and Bernhardt conclude that one of the "wanted," is innocent, however, and spend much of the episode proving his warrant resulted from a clerical error not a crime. During lunch, Mackey makes a surprise appearance, telling Westings to ensure he does not capture one of those criminals on the "Sweet Dap" list. Westings purposefully botches the arrest of that individual, allowing him to escape, but in doing so, he accidentally jeopardizes Bernhardt's life. Fleming is absolutely furious, while Marrow is clearly further suspicious. Westings visits Mackey later that day, demanding that the escapee be punished, but accepts payment after Mackey promises to punish the man.

S1, E5 Peacemaker The Detroit Police Department scrambles to stem the violence after a gang war breaks out between the Young Boys, Inc. and the Latin Kings. Westings and Bernhardt spend the day on the street, doing their best to breakup fights, and to stop battles before they begin. Marrow and Fleming try to figure out the cause of the battle, meanwhile, though they ultimately fail to find out anything except that it relates to a house. Westings decides to confront Prince directly, even though he cannot get rid of Bernhardt. Prince tells Westings to screw off but Bernhardt, in a surprising show of intuition, threatens to tell the whole town that "a crack team of your boys got defeated by a 90 year old white woman," in reference to the shopkeeper that saved Westings and Bernhardt. Impressed more than anything else, Prince reveals that an independent meth lab is at the center of the dispute, though he refuses to say where the meth lab is located. Bernhardt confronts Westings after the meeting, saying "I know that sometimes, it takes a bit of stretching the rules to make stuff stick," and demanding he stop ditching her. Westings agrees, taking her with him to meet an old confidential informant, who reveals the location of the house after significant (and violent) cajoling. Dockman personally leads a raid on the meth lab, which proves an astronomical failure when one of the workers opens fire on the police. During the ensuing firefight, the lab explodes, killing all inside. No officers are killed, luckily, and the obvious destruction of the lab ends the gang war.

S1, E6 Return Fire Bernhardt forces Westings to stop at a convenience store, so she can pickup chocolate. She discovers a burglary in progress inside (the owner is sweeping outside) and, when the burglar shoots at her, she shoots him. Westings arrives to find that the burglar, a teenage boy, dead. More importantly, Westings finds no gun on the body. Detective Marrow and Detective Fleming arrive on the scene within minutes of the shooting, and attempt to find any evidence substantiating Bernhardt's claims. Neither Westings nor the shop owner saw the incident, however, and the only camera in the store is inoperable. There are several bullet holes in the wall behind where Bernhardt was standing, but the shop keeper notes several are from his past attempts to defend himself against armed robbers. Captain Dockman arrives on the scene with federal prosecutor Joan Bowman, who confiscate Bernhardt's weapon, and takes her into custody for questioning. Bernhardt waives her right to counsel, and proclaims her innocence, but the Bowman clearly believes her guilty. The situation worsens as protesters gather outside the precinct, demanding action be taken against an officer that gunned down an unarmed teenager. Westings and Fleming agree that Bernhardt must be innocent, and the two set off to find evidence to exonerate her. The two put together that Bernhart saw a first burglar, who ducked behind the desk at the sight of her, and that a second burglar then attempted to shoot her. The first burglar then grabbed the gun and snuck out while a shocked Bernhardt waited for Westings to arrive. Westings and Flemings go to meet with the family of the dead burglar, only to find Bowman there. The federal prosecutor is furious that the two officers are "interfering in an internal affairs investigation," and orders them to immediately cease and desist. Both refuse, then leave, but not before Westings notices several pictures of the dead burglar and a girl. The two talk to the dead burglar's teachers to find out the girl's identity, then go to talk to her. Her parents refuse to allow them in; that is, until Westings claims they're looking for evidence to convict Bernhardt. The girlfriend breaks down after just a couple questions, admitting that she and her boyfriend were burglarizing the place, and that he panicked and shot at Bernhardt. The girlfriend provides the gun, to the horror of her parents, and Westings and Flemings arrest her. Bowman is absolutely furious at the outcome of the case, but Dockman is gleeful to put the matter to rest. He restores Bernhardt to duty, pending the completion of a less stringent investigation, and orders the accomplice booked. Bowman angrily tells Westings that "this isn't over," then leaves. Bernhardt thanks Fleming profusely for helping, making clear during their conversation that she likes him. Guest Star(s): Mary McDonnell, 60 (4/3/4/2/4) as Joan Bowman (57), the First Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan. |

S1, E7 Michigan Central Station Detective Marrow and Detective Fleming are assigned to investigate the murder of an "urban explorer," from the suburbs, who was killed in Michigan Central Station. Marrow believes a gang killed the woman, likely after he stumbled across an illicit dealing, but Fleming thinks a serial killer is at work. Westings and Marrow team up to chase down the gang lead, while Bernhardt is assigned to help Fleming with the serial killer approach. Marrow and Westings happen across a number of illegal activities during the day, and arrest a half dozen criminals. The two fail to find any gang connection to the murder, however, despite their best efforts. Westings approaches Mackey about the matter, hoping for help, but Mackey actually agrees with Fleming: he's heard of several similar killings. Fleming successfully ties the murder to several others, meanwhile, and he puts together a profile of the killer. Dockman and Bernhardt assist Fleming as he assembles the necessary evidence to pursue the case, finally discovering a suspect thanks to rigorous door-to-door interviewing. Fleming and Bernhardt go to arrest the man, taking him into custody after a short chase. The killer refuses to confess, but Westings recognizes him as a servant of Mackey, and returns to confront the auto dealer. Mackey admits that the man is one of his own, but refuses to provide any help in the investigation. Disgusted, Westings threatens to turn over everything he knows, and Mackey agrees to help, though he refuses to specify how. An hour later, a top-notch defense lawyer arrives at the precinct to defend the killer, and an hour after that, he's confessed in return for a reduced sentence. Marrow witnesses Westings' meeting with Mackey, but decides not to act, telling Fleming "I don't see a major issue, right now." Guest Star(s): Christopher Walken, 69 (5/5/5/4/5) as James Mackey |

S1, E8 B&E Westings responds to a break-in at Mackey's office headquarters. Mackey formally reports a number of items stolen, but also informally tells Westings that a portable hard drive containing "sensitive information," was taken. Mackey orders Westings to recover the hard drive, without the police knowing, and also to ensure that the culprits "are punished." Westings promises to investigate the matter, but he does not make it a priority, thinking the theft to be part of a series of recent burglaries of upscale office buildings. Westings lets Detective Marrow and Detective Fleming take lead on the case, as such, while he and Bernhardt handle a flare-up of racial tensions on the border of Hamtramck. Marrow and Fleming catch the perpetrators of the string of regular burglaries, but quickly realize that the Mackey break-in was the work of a different team. Investigating further, the Detectives realize that the Young Boys gang perpetrated the B&E, and after carefully examining the crime scene, find enough evidence for a search warrant for a Young Boys house. Marrow and Fleming find a flash drive there, containing some of the hard drive's information, which indicates that one of Mackey's automotive repair shops contains a considerable quantity of illegal goods. Captain Dockman gets a search warrant for the repair shop, and with a dozen officers including Marrow and Fleming in tow, executes the warrant. Dispatch sends out a notice of the raid a few minutes before it occurs, however, and Westings is able to give Mackey warning. The police discover nothing at Mackey's property, as a result. Westings and Mackey meet that night. Mackey is absolutely furious, as he had to destroy thousands of dollars of illegal goods to avoid arrest. Westings apologies, but Westings says that "it's too late." "You've made it clear you're unable to handle this matter with the appropriate care," Mackey says, "so I've looked elsewhere for help." Several back sports utility vehicles pull into the parking lot as Westings finishes speaking, and a half dozen private mercenaries a la Blackwater emerge.
