Crime Story
Chicago police lieutenant Mike Torello (Dennis Farina) wages an epic battle against organized crime in Michael Mann's arresting combination of cops and robbers, prime time soap, and film noir. Like Eliot Ness and the Untouchables, Torello and his Major Crimes Unit (MCU) have a formidable opponent in Ray Luca (Anthony Dennison), a young, ambitious thug who'll do whatever it takes to claw his way to the top.

The Senterros, a family of Mexican cattle ranchers, controls the marijuana trade, so Torello's unit sets up a sting operation, but detective Joey Indelli leaves to try to save a callgirl from her sadistic pimp.
Torello's after a killer, who might be a federal employee. Following the killer's trail, Mike ends up in Mexico, where he witnesses a drug smuggling operation lead by Luca.
Torello's ordered by the government to leave Luca alone, since he's now their asset. Abrams quits his job immediately in disgust. Luca's former associates start to fear for their future in the crime business.

A man hires a private detective to find his girlfriend, who turns out to be the daughter of a mobster. Things don't go well. Meanwhile, Abrams has become an addict, so sympathetic Torello offers him a place in his team.
Luca is financing a movie and falls for the provocative leading lady. She turns out to be more than even he can chew.
A Russian pilot defects by flying his plane into the U.S. and landing in Nevada. Torello and his men are assigned to protect him. They become friends. But Torello learns that the government is considering trading him for the U2 pilot being held in the Soviet Union. And they try to stop it from happening. Abrams who now works for Luca helps him get something on a guy whose business he wants to buy.

Torello tries to prove Iris, the African-American owner of the casino Moulin Rouge, that her partner might be using the place for money-laundering.
Torello helps a pretty Asian girl find her missing father, who's been owing money to some loan sharks. What he doesn't know is that she's actually a secret agent of communist China on a radioactive mission.
A Chicago mobster with a contract on his head becomes the target of Torello, who wants him alive, and Luca, who wants him dead.
One of Luca's former bosses Manny Weisbord suffers a heart-attack. Luca tries to get him a new heart, so mobsters Max Goldman and Steve Kordoa, Luca's former associates put a contract on Luca.
How Paulie and Luca survived the atomic blast that seemingly killed them both at the end of season 1, how they made a deal with the government and how, with a little help from their mob friends, they got back in the business.
Torello goes into the desert after an escaped convict and his girlfriend. However, a corrupt local cop wants them both dead, even if he has to kill Torello to get them.
Pauli's girlfriend, who's a hooker, ends up being the latest casualty in a violent war between competing brothels.
Torello's friend, a reporter, promises he'll expose Luca in his latest article. He goes to Vegas and indulges himself in the local vices as a cover.
Luca's connections to the government are questioned in a Senate hearing and charges are about to be brought up against him, but the Vietnam War changes everything.
Torello and his crew are after Luca, so he hides in Mexico. They go after him, even though the US government refuses to help them track him down there. However, this time Torello has a contact there who can help.
Danny ends up in Mexican prison. Torello manages to fins allies among mobsters who hate Luca, to get Danny out before he gets shanked. Luca demands respect from a corrupt local general, but he gets none.
