NYPD 24/7, ABC News, narrated by Dennis Franz, 2004

Their exploits have been the stuff of countless movies and television shows, but nothing can compare to the real thing.

In "NYPD 24/7," a new, true-life documentary series from the award-winning producers of "Hopkins 24/7" and "Boston 24/7," ABC News cameras are given unprecedented access to the New York Police Department. Never before have cameras been allowed to roam so widely for so long among the closed ranks of the NYPD.

For sixteen months, compelling characters from elite units share their hopes, their frustrations and their special brand of dark humor, as cameras follow them into situations that are unpredictable and often dangerous. "NYPD 24/7," narrated by "NYPD Blue's" Dennis Franz, aired on seven consecutive Tuesday nights.

* Episode 1 - A young career woman is viciously assaulted in the lobby of her former boyfriend's Manhattan building by an unknown assailant. One of the nation's most elite homicide squads hunts the man who left a promising young life for dead.

* Episode 2 - Nicole Papamichael is a seasoned undercover detective who uses her looks to entrap customers in the illicit netherworld of New York nightlife. Lieutenant Vic Hollifield leads a unit of the most elite and highly-trained cops in the world - the Emergency Service Unit.

* Episode 3 - Detectives investigate the bizarre case of a man boiled black by 300-degree water, lying dead at the bottom of a manhole. Meanwhile, a member of the Crime Scene Unit hops from one death scene to another trying to determine if the victims were suicides, accidents or died as the result of foul play.

* Episode 4 - The NYPD's most decorated cop is called to the worst crime scene of his career. Facing a distraught and angry community calling for their badges, two detectives deal with surprising developments in an increasingly gruesome case, discovering a torture chamber and a witness who lived to tell the tale of what she saw.

* Episode 5 - Alison Esposito is a young cop and the daughter of a police chief determined to make her bones. Also, Vic Hollifield returns, the take-charge leader of a police rescue unit haunted by the ghosts of 9/11.

* Episode 6 - Two college friends from affluent families go partying and one ends up dead, the other accused of his murder. The story finds its way onto the front pages of New York's tabloids. But there is a stunning development in the case.

* Episode 7 - An hour that travels from the seat of police power to the mean streets of the Bronx, from a commissioner trying to calm a frightened city on high alert for a terrorist attack to a beat cop worried about her own kids and the daily mayhem ravaging neighborhoods around her.
