Nightwatch

It's the week of Mardi Gras and it's the busiest time of the year for our first responders. Working the parade route comes with its own challenges and unique cases. Keeley treats man who impaled his hand on a fence. Meanwhile, Titus and Dan have to navigate a flood of people to treat a man stabbed in the face. But most of the drama happens off the parade route. Titus and Dan race to save an 18 year old shot in the head through and through. Randy & his partner Devin, search for suspects in an armed robbery, which leads to a high speed chase.

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. The violence takes a bizarre turn when Keeley gets called to a woman whose eyeball has been bitten out in a fight. Titus and Dan head to one of the most dangerous projects in the city in order to treat a shooting victim. Towards the end of the shift, Keeley joins Holly and Nick as they try to piece together what happened between two Spanish speaking men involved in a bloody knife fight.

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 a busy Bourbon Street with a badly broken ankle. The SWAT guys head out to serve high risk warrant while Holly, Nick and Keeley respond to a flipped car where the driver's arm is cut to the bone. Later in the night, we return to Ted and Gavin who work to rescue a man who has fallen off a ladder and landed on a roof. Justin is assigned to a new partner and tries to maintain his track record of 100%.

The city is in mourning after a beloved Police Officer is shot and killed on duty. Vic and P chase a suspect that following an altercation with another officer. The dangers of the job become real when Vic and P are called to assist other officers who were shot at by a suspect while serving a warrant. Titus and Dan deal with a tough patient who takes a swing at Titus. Holly and Nick treat a woman who has her leg mangled in a bicycle accident.

Titus and Dan treat a woman who was viciously stabbed in the face, while Holly and Nick tend to an emotional transgendered woman who was assaulted. A wild police chase ends with a major car accident and the firefighters of SQURT 16 race to put out a structure fire. Throughout the long night the character of New Orleans' residents shines through in dramatic and quirky ways.

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. Then at the scene of a car accident, a first responder is assaulted while trying to tend to the victims. As fireworks explode across the city, police officers Randy and Devin catch a teenage bike thief and offer some tough love to get his life back on track.

On 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 to a motorcyclist to the hospital with devastating injuries. Titus and Dan assist a pedicab driver who has a nasty leg injury. Randy and Devin search for a drug dealer hiding in a dangerous neighborhood.

For the men and women on the Nightwatch, two things never stop: the calls and questions. How can someone shoot an eight year old boy? How do you stop the drug epidemic in the worst parts of New Orleans? How do you get guns off the street? As the first responders do everything they can do to save the victims of several shootings, a drug overdose and more; the police officers chase suspects who end up having illegal firearms. They all find themselves asking these questions and only wishing they had the answers.

The best people on the job never stop looking for ways to do more better. For police officer Justin, the objective is joining the SWAT team and he takes a big step by leading a raid with the SWAT officers. Meanwhile, the first responders deal with a rash of scary calls, a man suffers from amnesia after getting hit by a car and a woman who fell off a roof. And after a man survives a suicide attempt, Arkady forges a bond with him by sharing the story of her mother's own suicide.

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, nights in New Orleans reveal the struggles of life in this city. Police officers continue to work tirelessly to get guns off the street which makes the city a safer place to live.

On the 10th 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. Amid the remembrances, the city still needs its first responders. Over the course of a busy run of calls for EMT's, the police SWAT team looks to execute a high risk raid. The people on Nightwatch will do anything to protect their city.
