New York Undercover is a Dramatic Hour Long Detective Drama created by Dick Wolf and Kevin Arkadie that ran from 1994 to 1998 (four seasons). Two undercover detectives in New York City's Fourth Precinct, Julius Clarence "J.C." Williams and Eduardo "Eddie" Torres are assigned to investigate various crimes and gang-related cases by their superior, Lt. Virginia Cooper. They are joined by Det. Nina Moreno in season two and Det. Tommy McNamara in season three.Along with dealing with the cases themselves, there are sub-plots dealing with the personal lives of Williams and Torres: Williams dealing with his ex-girlfriend Chantel and visiting their son, Gregory (just usually called G), and Torres usually interacting with his father Mike, a recovering heroin addict. Many episodes feature an R&B café called Natalie's, which is just an easy way for musical guest stars to get on the show (Natalie herself being played by Gladys Knight).By the end of the season three finale, however, McNamara and Torres (the latter married to Nina and transferring to a new precinct) are killed off. At the start of the fourth season, everything changes. Williams and Moreno transfer to New York's Special Investigations Division answering to Lt. Malcolm Barker (and ultimately writing Cooper out of the show). They also work with Det. Nell Delaney and Det. Alec Stone. Natalie's and the musical guests that appeared were written out entirely as were any living reoccurring characters from the past three seasons except for G. As a result of all these changes, ratings for the show dramatically dropped, forcing Fox to cancel the series.There are currently talks of a reboot in the works and that it is to air on ABC. Both Malik Yoba (Williams) and Lauren Velez (Moreno) have expressed interest in reprising their roles.

Fair Cop: To varying degrees and more realistic than the model-types frequently seen on other police shows, but overall, a very good-looking collection of officers.

Say My Name
 New York Undercover / int_1a3a91dd
comment
Say My Name: Done by J.C. on two separate occasions, right before someone he cares about gets the ax. "Catman Comes Back": Upon learning that Danny Cort was on the loose and seeking revenge for J.C. having shot his younger brother, J.C. cries out his fiancé's name. He could not save her, even as he was two rooms away, since Danny was literally knocking on their door by that point. The aptly named "The Last Hurrah" has the female mastermind of a bank robbery ring out for blood after Eddie and J.C. mortally wound her boyfriend in a shootout. At the end, she calls J.C. to let him he's next on her hit list just as Eddie is about to drive off. J.C. has just enough time to yell Eddie's name before losing his partner of three seasons to External Combustion.

The Rival
 New York Undercover / int_1c3d047e
comment
The Rival: Williams and Danny Cort, oh so much and for very good reasons: Williams killed Danny's kid brother in self-defense and Danny killed Williams' pregnant fiancée to even the score. Moreno and Nadine Jordan for pretty much the same: Torres, along with Williams, fatally wounded Jordan's husband during a shootout after a failed bank robbery. In retaliation, Jordan executed Torres via car bomb, less than 24 hours after he and Moreno tied the knot.

Cruel and Unusual Death
 New York Undercover / int_1e584efa
comment
Cruel and Unusual Death: Happens from time to time, but one episode had a particularly nasty example. It involved two rival motorcycle gangs and had members from one gang kill the family of one of the rival gang's members. As an act of revenge, the killers are then hanged by their arms and had a chain attached to each leg which was attached to a motorcycle. We know what happens next, even with the scene cutting to black over their agonized screams.

Frame-Up: "Sympathy For The Devil" had three Black teenagers be accused of shooting a pair of White joggers, killing the wife (who was pregnant at the time, and the baby boy she had also died a short time after his emergency c-section birth) and injuring the husband. While it appears that they were guilty, especially when the woman's necklace was found in one of the boy's possession, turns out the husband shot and killed her himself since she cheated and the baby wasn't his.

Best Served Cold: The episode where Internal Affairs went after J.C. for the murder of Danny Cort had a Black staffer explain that years earlier two White cops had physically and verbally harassed him while on a date and laughed over what they did. In the present day, now as someone who held both of their jobs in his hands, explains to Torres what happened to them: while one was now a night watchman at a loading dock, the other Ate His Gun after losing his job.

Would Hurt a Child: Danny Cort on more than one occasion. Aside from killing Williams' unborn child with Sandy after he kills her and holding up G at gunpoint, he also gets so angry at one of his drug dealer's kid brother for partaking in his product, that he punches the already intoxicated boy out cold.

Vigilante Injustice: A black man takes his sick daughter to a hospital and demands that she be treated by a white doctor, believing that black doctors are less competent. After some time, the white doctor comes out and tells him that his daughter is going to be fine. Sometime later, a black doctor comes out and informs him that she has died due to complications. The father is enraged, believing that it was the black doctor's fault. At the end of the episode, he is found having just murdered the black doctor with an injection and is informed that his daughter's death was actually the fault of the white doctor, who as it turns out, had a habit of drinking before going on shift and consequently distributing potentially lethal doses of medication to his patients due to his inebriated state. Thankfully, the detectives are able to get some measure of actual justice for the little girl and her torn-apart family by catching the doctor in the act of attempting to work on patients while inebriated after luring him into a trap, resulting in his arrest.

Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Many of the most vicious criminals still have loved ones that they genuinely care about. Danny Cort had his kid brother, a law school student and their mother, who pretty much disowned him after her younger son's death. Orlando Maldone, the drug lord who shot Nina in the season 2 finale, loved and doted on his young daughter, Lucia.

Implacable Man: Remmy Powers, the hitman from "The Eyewitness Blues". After singer Tammy Barrett witnesses her crooked manager's murder, he tries to kill her on three different occasions, even via a sniper's shot whilst leaving said manager's funeral. He also kills his cohort in the initial murder when he tries to get them to leave town with the money they've already procured and attempts to kill Williams and Torres when they've come to arrest him. He eventually gets struck and killed by a truck for his troubles.

 New York Undercover / int_6d332aea
comment
Driven to Suicide: "To Protect and Serve" had a decorated police officer kill his niece's drug dealing boyfriend to protect her from the life, but he had killed the wrong man. Just as Williams and Torres, the latter who was reluctant to believe that he was involved initially, were to bring him in, he requested to use the bathroom and subsequently shoots himself. "Blue Boy" had a convicted child molester, who had just been released from prison, suspected in molesting another young girl. After being harassed by neighbors and his mother accidentally being killed in a drive-by shooting meant to kill him, he admits to his crime and in accepting that his beloved mother is dead because of him and that he will never be able to stop his ways, he jumps to his death.

Villain Has a Point: During their gun fight, Danny Cort tells J.C. that he couldn't leave well alone, culminating in them to the point of trying to kill the other one. As big as a scumbag and an asshole he is, he was right. Had he not been so hard up to nail him (which even Lt. Cooper even said to put off going after him to focus on his wedding in two days), then neither Danny's brother nor his pregnant fiancée would have been killed.

Once the detectives corner him on the rooftop of his studio however, he jumps to his death.

It's Personal: Many of the cases, although the most personal case was between Williams and Danny-Up, with each man killing a loved one of the other and their rivalry stretching on between the first two seasons. One scene even had the latter kidnap Williams' ex-girlfriend and son and pulling the trigger of an empty gun against G's head just to screw with his parents. The hatred between Moreno and Nadine Jordan runs a close second, with the latter having murdered Torres by car bomb not even 24 hours after they finally got married.

Williams and Danny Cort, oh so much and for very good reasons: Williams killed Danny's kid brother in self-defense and Danny killed Williams' pregnant fiancée to even the score.

No Social Skills: M.E. Wong, who is usually brusque and insensitive whenever he appears. The detectives would take it in stride until Sandy's murder, where he referred to her as the body and offhandedly asks why J.C. was in his robe, which earned him a shut up from Eddie.

comment
Shoo Out the New Guy: Tommy McNamara was added onto the show by the network as they felt that they needed a White Male Lead to bring in more viewers of a wider demographic. Neither fans nor the crew ever warmed up to his addition and he was gone a season later.

Yank the Dog's Chain: "The Highest Bidder" has Chantal, who works as a maternity nurse at a hospital with numerous budget cuts, help to solve a kidnapping of one of the newborns and the murder of his mother. Whereas it initially looks like she will be somehow rewarded for her efforts, she is nonetheless laid off at the end of the episode.

Despair Event Horizon
 New York Undercover / int_dda99fa8
comment
"Blue Boy" had a convicted child molester, who had just been released from prison, suspected in molesting another young girl. After being harassed by neighbors and his mother accidentally being killed in a drive-by shooting meant to kill him, he admits to his crime and in accepting that his beloved mother is dead because of him and that he will never be able to stop his ways, he jumps to his death.

Crossover: When Nina seeks counseling for her PTSD after being shot, her therapist is none other than Elizabeth Olivet of Law & Order (which was also created by Dick Wolf), meaning the two exist in a Shared Universe. Dr. Emil Skoda showed up occasionally as well.

Empathy Doll Shot: In the aforementioned episode of the motorcycle gangs, after her mother is killed, the daughter then wanders out of her room, unbeknownst to what just occurred and holding a teddy bear. The next scene is of the bear slowly falling to the ground.

External Combustion
 New York Undercover / int_f70bcdc3
comment
The aptly named "The Last Hurrah" has the female mastermind of a bank robbery ring out for blood after Eddie and J.C. mortally wound her boyfriend in a shootout. At the end, she calls J.C. to let him he's next on her hit list just as Eddie is about to drive off. J.C. has just enough time to yell Eddie's name before losing his partner of three seasons to External Combustion.
