* CompleteMonster: Lieutenant Mike Stone and Inspector Steve Keller face many criminals in their patrols of San Francisco, but even the hardened duo are repulsed by these:
** PilotMovie: [[AxCrazy Gregory Praxas]] is a B movie actor turned vicious SerialKiller out to prove his status as an "angel of death." His most recent victim [[WouldHurtAChild a 6-year-old boy]], Praxas is discovered by a pair of street-faring siblings, whose attempts to blackmail Praxas result only in him beating the brother and sister to death. Later kidnapping another potential witness to his crimes, Praxas [[LeaveNoWitnesses tries to murder him]] as well as Stone and Keller. After his death, police discover a chest full of [[CreepySouvenir mementos from Praxas's countless victims]], one of the officers outright noting that the sheer number of victims Praxas has could make up half of San Francisco's unsolved homicides.
** "Legion of the Lost": [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Roy Richardson]] is a {{greed}}y businessman who seeks to ensure that the rightful heir of his boatyard corporation, Paul Thomas, never claims his inheritance. Knowing Paul is currently homeless and living among vagrants, Richardson has his hatchet man, Terry, go about [[DisposableVagrant beating homeless men to death]] over the course of several nights, leaving three bodies in his wake. Richardson then tries to have Paul himself beaten to death, hoping for it to [[SerialKillingsSpecificTarget look like just another serial killing]], and Paul's best friend Jake is killed in the process. When confronted with his crimes, Richardson just smugly remarks that he "did the city a favor" by thinning the homeless population.
** "Harem": [[FauxAffablyEvil William "Billy" Jeffers]] is a former rock star who has turned his charisma to the business of teenage prostitution. Jeffers seduces and [[ManipulativeBastard manipulates]] young teens into becoming [[SexSlave hookers]], pimping them out to clients while he rolls in the dough. When one of his workers contracts an STD, Jeffers beats her to death to cover it up from some of his clients, then stabs another girl to death when [[HeKnowsTooMuch she discovers the truth]]--Jeffers had also murdered his personal girlfriend in the past for undisclosed reasons. A despicable parasite preying on naive young girls' love for him, Jeffers cares naught for any of them, reacting to his supposed "favorite" girl's horror at his crimes by calling her a tramp no one will believe when she turns witness for the cops.
** "The Victims": [[ForTheEvulz Lee Wilson]] is an escaped convict, locked up for attempted murder, who kills a guard on his way out by taking him hostage then flinging him from a speeding vehicle. Later murdering a pawn shop cashier to rob the place, Lee holds [[WouldHarmASenior an elderly couple]] at gunpoint and plays a "shooting gallery" game with them as the targets, executing the couple for fun. Lee takes a woman as a hostage after sexually assaulting her and having her husband beaten, threatening to shoot her in the head before abandoning one of his partners who [[EvenEvilHasStandards has grown horrified by Lee's actions]]. When asked by Keller why he carried out such a horrible crime spree, Lee just laughs and spits on him, having no real reason for his day-long reign of terror.
** "Blockade": [[AxCrazy Chet Barrow]] is a vicious thug who moonlights as a SerialRapist and [[SerialKiller killer]]. [[ManipulativeBastard Manipulating]] the young Russ into helping him capture his latest victim, Barrow rapes and murders her while planning for several more in the coming days. When exposed for his crimes, Barrow takes Russ, the boy's mother, and friend Jill as hostages, smacking them around and planning to kill them all once he escapes. Even when Russ and his mom escape, Barrow tries to rape and strangle Jill to death.
