The last scene of the series shows Crews finally finding peace.

Soon after, Crews kills Nevikov by crushing his windpipe. The second season concludes with Crews trading himself for Reese after she is kidnapped by Roman Nevikov. Mistakes were made, the Seyboldts were inadvertently murdered and Crews framed for the crime.

The intent was to corrupt Crews' friend Tom Seyboldt, who owned a bar with Crews and that by corrupting one business partner, they would also corrupt Crews. Crews eventually learns that he had been watched since the police academy, to eventually replace an aging crime lord. Reese begins a relationship with the new captain after her father disappears. He tracks down Rachel Seyboldt, the surviving member of his business partner's family and she moves in with him. Д¬rews continues to investigate into the conspiracy to frame him and begins tracking some retired cops. Similarly, more of Dani Reese's past would be revealed. Earlier in March 2008, series creator and executive producer Rand Ravich explained that the second season would delve deeper into the conspiracy in the framing of Charlie Crews. On July 21, 2008, producers announced the second season would effectively re-launch the series with a new 'pilot' episode. The second season premiered on Monday, September 29, 2008. In the finale, Crews is able to bring the true killer, Kyle Hollis, to justice, but he remains unaware of the reasons behind his having been framed. Near the end of the season, Crews manages to uncover information that implicates Reese's father (also a retired cop and Lt. The overarching story of the first season concerns the murders for which Crews was wrongfully imprisoned, which leads him to confront various figures from his past such as his former patrol partner, his remarried ex-wife, and the detective who solved the triple-murder case and is still convinced of Crews' guilt. Even though she herself is uncomfortable with her new partner, Reese backs Crews up on numerous occasions, and the two slowly develop a bond. Crews is not well received by Lieutenant Karen Davis, who, during the season, tries to force Reese into offering information that will see Crews suspended and eventually fired. After successfully suing the city of Los Angeles and the LAPD, he is reinstated to the police department and receives an undisclosed amount of money, rumored at $50 million.Д¬rews is partnered with Detective Dani Reese, previously an undercover narcotics agent and now a recovering drug addict and alcoholic (thanks to her work and several betrayals as an undercover cop). Having lost his job, his wife, his friends, nearly all contact with the outside world and even his grip on reality for a time while in jail, he emerges enlightened by the philosophy of Zen, a fixation with fresh fruit (which he acquired while in prison, as it is nonexistent on the inside), and an obsession with solving the murders that nearly cost him his life and exposing the conspiracy that framed him for it. Thanks to the efforts of his lawyer Constance Griffiths, DNA evidence exonerates him of the murders. In 1995, he was wrongfully convicted of the triple murder of his friend and business partner, Tom Seybolt, and all but one of Seybolt's immediate family. Life centers on Detective Charlie Crews, who at the start of the first season (set in 2007) is released from Pelican Bay State Prison after serving twelve years of a life sentence.
