The Rapist (aka Rebukes)

The Rapist (aka Rebukes)

Jan 6, 198645m0 votes
Director: James Frawley

Also given to me as ""The Rapist, Part 1"")"" As a temporary replacement for Lacey, Sara Jones seems like a fine detective, and very gungho on finding a rapist. Too gungho - she decides to take matters into her own hands when it seems it is taking too long to nail the suspected rapist. A very, very sad ending to this episode.
