Nightwatch

It's the week of Mardi Gras and it's the busiest time of year for our first responders. Working the parade route comes with its own challenges and unique cases.

Swat officers J. and Alley come face-to-face with the violence in the city after a high-speed chase turns into a shootout with their suspect.

It's all about new partnerships and life lessons. Gavin returns from work offshore and is assigned to a new partner Ted. Together, they treat a woman on busy Bourbon Street with a badly broken ankle.

Titus and Dan treat a woman who was viciously stabbed in the face, and Holly and Nick tend to an emotional young transgendered woman who was assaulted.

On the fourth of July in New Orleans, the heat seems to trigger havoc in the streets. Holly, Nick, and Keeley arrive at a bloody scene where a woman could lose her arm after a bar fight.

On the Nightwatch, you can't save everyone--but you try. New partners Tommy and Arkady join a desperate search for a victim who went under in the river; Holly and Nick rush a motorcyclist with devastating injuries to the hospital.

For the men and women on the Nightwatch, two things never stop: the calls and the questions. How can someone shoot an eight-year-old boy?

The best people on the job never stop looking for ways to do more and be better. For police officer Justin, the objective is joining the force's SWAT team, and he takes a big step by leading a raid with the SWAT officers.

Like any dad, Titus wants the best for his son. As an EMT, he sees just how dire life can get. From drug addicts desperate to kick their problems, to assault victims, to a teenager who drove his car into a tree.

On the tenth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, everyone in New Orleans and on the Nightwatch recall their experiences with the storm, and reflect upon the significance it still holds in their lives.

Every night, every shift offers its own adventures and its own unforgettable New Orleans characters to help and protect. And on this special episode of Nightwatch, we revisit the most memorable police.
