1x01 Gang Related Violence
There was a time when Gotham City was known for its bustling nightlife, its glamorous Theatre District, and the wonderfully lavish Amusement Parks that once lit up the city’s Northern Island for new arrivals. As hard as it is to believe, there was even a time when newlyweds flocked to Gotham with dreams of starting and raising families here.
Times have changed… dramatically.
Now the “Nightlife” belongs to the mobs, hookers, and the incurably insane. The Theatre District is all but abandoned with a few lucky owners able to move locations to the few “safe” neighborhoods Gotham has left. Even the Amusement Parks have all been closed and are now rotted and decayed “ghost towns” that serve as an ominous warning to all who enter the city. “The fun has died here.”
So how did this once prosperous city become a broken and battered version of its former self? Greed, corruption and a very sudden and volatile explosion of crime. Over the past decade or so a new breed of criminal has emerged in the Gotham City Underworld, commonly referred to as “masks” due to their propensity for wearing outlandish costumes. The appearance of this new crime element has only made Gotham’s more traditional organized crime families increase their violent ways in an attempt to hang onto what little they have left.
Unfortunately for the members of the Gotham City Police Department’s Major Crimes Unit, things are about to get much, much worse.
CAST
CAPTAIN MAGGIE SAWYER
Captain Maggie Sawyer is a former member of the Metropolis Special Crimes Unit and the current head of the Gotham City Major Crimes Unit. Though she’s been the head of the MCU for more than a year, Captain Maggie Sawyer still struggles to earn the respect of her fellow officers. Most notably Lieutenant Ronald Probson who believes he was the front runner for the job before Maggie was handpicked by former Commissioner James Gordon to run the unit.
LIEUTENENT RONALD PROBSON
Despite the fact that he’s a total prick, Ronald Probson, has a number of friends in the Gotham Police Department. These connections are what landed him the job of second shift leader of the Major Crimes Unit, answering to only Captain Sawyer and Commissioner Akins.
DETECTIVE JACKSON “SARGE” DAVIES
Sergeant-Detective Davies, more commonly known as “Sarge” is a veteran of the Gotham City Major Crimes Unit who is filled with frustration. His frustration stems not only from constantly battling the ever increasing amount of “masks” in Gotham City, but also the struggles that come with the internal politics of the Gotham City Police Department. After being passed over several times for a supervisor position he’s damn near reached his breaking point.
DETECTIVE NELSON CROWE – Portrayed by Holt McCallany
Crowe is Sarge’s Partner and best friend. There’s no one better at picking apart the pieces and deciphering some of Gotham’s most intricate criminal plots. Despite his knack for solving complex crimes with logic and reason, Crowe has a tendency to rush into situations without first considering the risk.
DETECTIVE CHARLIE FIELDS
Charlie Fields epitomizes the term “old school cop”. He’s as jaded as they come in the GCPD but his years of experience provide fountain of information for his young partner.
DETECTIVE MARCUS DRIVER
Marcus Driver has only been a Detective for two years but after a series of big busts in Vice Squad (including the take down of Killer Croc) he was quickly picked up by the Major Crimes Unit.
PILOT
Detectives Nelson Crowe and Jackson "Sarge" Davies arrive at a crime scene to find the corpse of Gotham’s most powerful crime boss. News of the death quickly spreads, resulting in a city wide gang war with every high and mid-level thug vying for the now vacant throne. Meanwhile, Detectives Charlie Fields and Marcus Driver investigate a serial kidnapper that turns out to be much more.
