Gotham City Police Department station. A man is lead to the cell, talking about his missing "pills", when he suddenly takes the cop leading him hostage. A tense situation is defused when Jim Gordon, one of the policemen, distracts the man with pack of aspirin and disarms him. His partner, Harvey Bullock, is visibly pissed off with it, telling Gordon that when the policeman is taken hostage, you just shoot. Moment later, both men are called to the crime scene, despite Harvey's protest.\\
They arrive at the scene of the couple's murder, with their son sitting on the fire staircase, visibly shaking. Gordon approaches him, while Harvey, horrified, learns that murdered pair are Thomas and Martha Wayne, Gotham's most prominent citizens. He tries to give their case away, but Gordon already started to talk with young Bruce. It takes some time before boy starts to talk back, but he finally tells Jim what happened, noting that the killer "had shiny shoes". Alfred, Waynes' butler, appears to take boy home.

* BystanderSyndrome: Bullock has it, although Gordon, being on the [[ChronicHeroSyndrome opposite side of the spectrum]], forces him to abandon it from time to time.
* TheCalvary: Falcone's men save Bullock and Gordon when the two are about to be executed.
* ChekhovsGun: The fact that Wayne's killer had shiny shoes. Later, Gordon uses it to prove (to himself, at least) that Pepper wasn't the killer.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: Given what happens in the next episodes (and how this episode ends), Jim's decision to let Penguin go was not the best one.
* DownerEnding: Innocent man was killed, Wayne's killer is still at large and Gordon has to kill Penguin to show that he's "with the program". Even though he tries to subvert it by letting the Penguin free, the first thing Oswald does after coming out of the river is killing the man.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Selina Kyle appears in first two minutes of the show, without being named, and then at the end of the episode, just for few seconds. Her catlike behavior makes it pretty who she is.
* EstabilishingCharacterMoment: First scene at the police station. Jim solves the situation cleverly and tries to avoid bloodshed, while Harvey just reads the newspaper through the entire crisis.
* FeedTheMole: Fish devises a fake copy of Martha Wayne's necklace to see who will blather to the police. Penguin does.
* TheMole: Oswald "Penguin" spies on the Fish for the MCU.
* MythologyGag: When we see the Penguin for the first time, he's holding an umbrella - comicbook's Penguin weapon of choice - for the Fish.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Bruce says that he's like to meet his parents' killer again. Alfred and Jim are visibly distressed by that.
* UnwillingSuspension: After being caught by Fish, Gordon is hang upside down from the slaughterhouse's ceiling. Soon Bullock joins him.

First episode of the series.
Nighttime. [[Comicbook/{{Catwoman}} Young girl]] is creeping on the rooftops of the city, then jumps off. Mixing herself with people crowding the street, she mugs them, first for milk and then for a wallet. After second of mugged start chasing her, she returns to the rooftops. Coming off in another place, she feeds a stray cat with the stolen milk and proceeds to empty the wallet of its money. Hearing footsteps, she climbs back up.\\
A couple with a [[Comicbook/{{Batman}} son]] comes downstreet, talking about a performance they just saw, when the mugger approaches from another side. Pulling a gun out, he orders them to give him the money. When they oblige, he shoots the couple and points the gun at the man before escaping, leaving only the boy alive.
Gotham City Police Department station. A man is lead to the cell, talking about his missing "pills" and suddenly takes the cop leading him hostage. A tense situation is defused when Jim Gordon, one of the policemen, distracts the man with pack of aspirin and disarms him. His partner, Harvey Bullock, is visibly pissed off with it, telling Gordon that when the policeman is taken hostage, you just shoot. Moment later, both men are called to the crime scene, despite Harvey's protest.\\
They arrive at the scene of the couple's murder, with their son sitting on the fire staircase, visibly shaking. Gordon approaches him, while Harvey, horrified, learns that murdered pair are Thomas and Martha Wayne, Gotham's most prominent citizens. He tries to give their case away, but Gordon already started to talk with young Bruce. It takes some time before boy starts to talk back, but he finally tells Jim what happened, noting that the killer "had shiny shoes". Alfred, Waynes' butler, appears to take boy home. Before that, Jim promises Bruce that he'll catch the killer.\\
Later that night, Harvey and Jim are sitting in the bar when Allen and Montoya, two cops from Major Crimes Unit, approach them, suggesting that they take over the case. Harvey is on the edge of agreeing when Montoya starts insulting him, prompting him to keep it to Homicide unit.
Much pressure is put on GCPD and Gordon with Bullock go to Fish Mooney, local crime boss with some apparent ties to Harvey. When they come, she's beating up a man who have failed her, while tall, slender figure, called "Penguin" by others, keeps an umbrella for her. When she leaves to talk with them, he takes his chance to give the man some kicks, feeling visibly uneasy.\\
Fish tells Bullock and disgusted Gordon that one Mario Pepper tried to sell of a necklace like the one stolen from Martha Wayne. Pair go to Pepper's house when his young daughter, Ivy, opens the door. She and her mother are visibly afraid of Mario and he tries to weasel himself out before suddenly breaking into run. Jim chases him on the fire staircase to the ground floor when Mario attacks him and is on the verge of getting a shot at him. Bullock appears at the last moment, killing Pepper. Police looks like they're heroes.
On the Waynes' funeral Jim apologizes to Bruce for not bringing Pepper to justice, but boy doesn't mind. Meanwhile, MCU cops meet with Penguin, who turns out to be their snitch in Fish's organization. He tells them that Mario Pepper was framed. Montoya comes to the house of Barbara, Gordon's fiance, and tells him that her boyfriend framed innocent man into murder. Later, Barbara confronts Jim about it. He's visibly shocked and assures her that he didn't. Later he comes to Montoya and tells her the same, with promise that he'll catch the real killer. He goes to Pepper's house again - with Mario's family being reluctant to let him in - and, is stroke of inspiration, decides to check their shoes.
Mario Pepper had no shiny shoes.
After going to Fish to tell her that he knows they framed Pepper, he's rendered unconscious and dragged to the slaughterhouse which is apparently Mooney's property. Fish's goons appear ready to kill him and film his death when Bullock appears and tries to negotiate letting Gordon out. Negotiations seem to be going well, but Fish has a change of heart and soon Harvey hangs next to Gordon. Their execution is stopped by man of don Falcone, Fish's boss and main crime lord of Gotham.
Falcone reveals to Gordon that he and Jim's father (Gotham's distric attorney) were friends and that Mario Pepper was "sacrificed" so that the people of Gotham will stay calm and keep some trust in the police. Jim seems unconvinced. Later, Harvey takes him to the old riverside warehouse area. In car's trunk there's stowed Penguin, whom Fish outed as a snitch following Jim's visit. Bullock gives Jim a choice: either he kills Penguin, proving that he's with the program of police-mafia agreement, or Bullock will kill Penguin and Gordon, and Falcone's men will kill Barbara. Jim pretends to go with the program but shoots in the air and pushes Penguin into the water, warning him never to return to Gotham. Then both cops leave.
Penguin emerges on the other side of the river and kills the fisherman who saw his survival.
