"Red Door/Paint It Black" - When dedicated street cop Frank Leo (Aaron Douglas) learns that there will be no police funeral for his fallen training officer and that his fellow officers are being railroaded for using excessive force, he stages a walkout.  Motivated by the pressure of "the brass" who want to bring him down, Frank becomes the head of the police union and fights to bring more protection to the cops on the street; however, unbeknownst to Frank, another fellow officer is involved in a series of drug-deal rip-offs, on the two-hour series premiere of THE BRIDGE, Saturday, July 10 (8:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
