BEFORE THE TOWERS FELL

In the first episode of this gripping two-part series, retired NYPD detectives and hosts of the Gold Shields podcast, Tom Smith and Dan Murphy, join Watching Two Detectives to take us deep into the heart of New York City during one of its most turbulent eras.

From the chaos of Times Square in the 80s and 90s to life on the frontlines of the city’s gang wars, Tom and Dan reflect on their journey as detectives during a time when the city saw staggering crime rates and unprecedented challenges. These stories lay the groundwork for the seismic shift in their careers: the September 11th attacks, which reshaped their lives and the world forever.

Key Highlights in this Episode:

• A vivid look at New York City’s crime-ridden past, including neighborhoods shaped by gangs, drugs, and violence.

• The camaraderie and shared mission that bonds detectives worldwide.
