Inhaltsbeschreibung

Ziemlich schüchtern tritt Tim Bayliss seinen Dienst im Morddezernat von Baltimore an. Er wird alles andere als freundlich Willkommen geheißen: Abgesehen davon, daß es im Büro nicht einmal einen Schreibtisch für ihn gibt, ist keiner der Detectives sonderlich begeistert von der Idee, mit dem idealistischen Anfänger zusammenzuarbeiten. Kay Howard, der einzige weibliche Detective des Morddezernats, setzt sich schlichtweg über die Anweisungen von Lieutenant Giardello hinweg und „überläßt“ den Neuling ausgerechnet Frank Pembleton, einem notorischen Einzelgänger.

Episodenguide

1. Staffel 1 (9 Episoden)
Die erste Staffel von „Homicide: Life on the Street“, einer amerikanischen Krimiserie, lief in den USA vom 31. Januar bis 31. März 1993 auf NBC. Die Serie wurde von Paul Attanasio entwickelt, während Filmregisseur Barry Levinson und Drehbuchautor und Produzent Tom Fontana als ausführende Produzenten fungierten. Basierend auf David Simons Sachbuch „Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets“ aus dem Jahr 1991, begleitete die Staffel die fiktiven Detectives der Mordkommission des Baltimore Police Department bei ihren Ermittlungen. Die Serie wurde mittwochs um 21 Uhr EST ausgestrahlt, mit Ausnahme der Serienpremiere, die direkt im Anschluss an den Super Bowl XXVII lief. In dieser Staffel wurden die Hauptdarsteller Daniel Baldwin, Ned Beatty, Richard Belzer, Andre Braugher, Clark Johnson, Yaphet Kotto, Melissa Leo, Jon Polito und Kyle Secor vorgestellt. Die meisten Hauptcharaktere basierten auf realen Detectives aus Baltimore, die in Simons Buch vorkommen, darunter Gary D'Addario, Terrence McLarney, Harry Edgerton, Donald Worden und Jay Landsman. Viele der Handlungsstränge der ersten Staffel wurden ebenfalls aus dem Buch adaptiert, insbesondere der Mord an der elfjährigen Latonya Kim Wallace im Baltimore des Jahres 1988, der die Grundlage für den Mordfall Adena Watson in der Serie bildete. Die Episode „Night of the Dead Living“, ursprünglich als dritte Folge geschrieben, wurde auf Drängen der NBC-Verantwortlichen zum Staffelfinale, was zu einigen merklichen Kontinuitätsfehlern führte.

7. Staffel 7 (22 Episoden)
Die siebte Staffel von „Homicide: Life on the Street“ wurde vom 25. September 1998 bis zum 21. Mai 1999 in den USA auf NBC ausgestrahlt und umfasste 22 Episoden. In der siebten Staffel feierten FBI-Agent Michael Giardello und Detective Rene Sheppard ihr Debüt. Detective Terri Stivers, die zuvor wiederkehrend auftrat, gehörte ab Staffel 7 zur Stammbesetzung. Die DVD-Box der siebten Staffel erschien in Region 1 am 28. Juni 2005 und enthält alle 22 Episoden auf sechs Discs. Während der sechsten Staffel hatte NBC aufgrund konstant niedriger Einschaltquoten erwogen, die Serie abzusetzen. Verschiedene Ereignisse bei NBC erhöhten jedoch den Wert von „Homicide“. Dazu gehörten der Verlust der beliebten Serie „Seinfeld“ und der 850-Millionen-Dollar-Deal, der nötig war, um „Emergency Room“ im Programm zu halten. Infolgedessen genehmigte der Sender eine siebte Staffel mit 22 Episoden.

Seizing the opportunity, Lewis goes for it and asks Sheppard to the party; it seems that he and Barbara have separated and are on their way to divorce. Meanwhile, Falsone speculates if he should ask Sheppard to the party. The first case Bayliss catches, now partnered with Munch, involves the dismembered body of Angelo Faltislo, a friend of Gee's cousin, Mario Giardello. Stivers and Falsone's case is similar: Leo Grimaldi, another friend of Mario, is also found dead. When Gee goes to question cousin Mario, he finds Mario's body in the same condition as that of his friends. Gee's estranged son, Mike Giardello, an FBI agent in Arizona, returns for the funeral. Mike asks Falsone (w

Lewis and Sheppard interview the remaining twin and his mother; she confirms his story and they try to point to the dead twin's girlfriend. Meanwhile the friend of the teenage victim in Ballard and Gharty's case confesses that his friend wasn't shot in Baltimore, but rather D.C.; he drove his friend back to Baltimore so their parent's wouldn't ""kill them"" for buying drugs in D.C. Gee hopes to get the case moved to D.C. Mike Giardello puts in for his FBI transfer, but the only openings they have in the area are for liaisons to local police departments. He interviews with Gaffney, who is so open to the idea, he can't wait to tell Gee. That's something Mike was going to wait f

A woman brings to the homicide unit her mystery-writer husband's videotaped declaration that his literary agent is responsible for his murder. Ballard and Gharty catch the case -- only there is no body or crime scene. Meanwhile, Munch and Bayliss investigate the death of an elderly woman that occurred during a break-in -- was it a homicide? Munch would rather leave for his weekend rendezvous with Billie Lou. Ballard and Gharty's investigation becomes a red-ball as they find evidence in the writer's office that a crime was committed. A break leads to the arrest of the literary agent and his accomplice, although Danvers can't guarantee a conviction. Falsone asks Ballard if she would like to go out Saturday night; just then the jury comes back. And a sharp-eyed juror insures that justice is done.

Dr. Griscom calls on the homicide unit when he sees a number of deaths that are related by a poison named phosphozine. The FBI steps in on the poisonings and they put MGee in charge of a task force; they consider it an act of domestic terrorism. One of the victims was a priest; two others were his parishioners. Gharty suspects the communion wine. Following this idea, wine bottles are collected from churches around the city. A needle hole is found through one of the corks. A citywide canvassing of all places where wine can be purchased is launched. Gee disagrees with the bureau's policy of keep information from the public.

Gharty is worked up about women and finances, because he and Flora and their lawyers are going to be working out the financial details of their divorce. Gee & MGee are not interested in cooperating with the bounty hunters; however, Knoll is the only one who can get any information on the whereabouts of Errico from Errico's mother. She has promised to page Knoll when her son calls. (Joe Errico has gone south to Miami.) Knoll offers to pay the expenses of having homicide detectives go to Miami and work with him, but Gee declines that generous offer and sends his detectives separately. In Miami, Bayliss and MGee work with Knoll to capture Errico. Knoll offers to split the huge bounty with the homicide detectives, which they of course refuse. MGee decides that the best use for the bounty might be for the man whose wife had died from the injuries she sustained in the car accident.
