Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- This story is far from the lighter cases of the dragnet TV series, and is generally darker in tone, handling sensitive topics like child molestation, murder,racists and serial killers

Frightening & Intense Scenes
- The scene where the young boy cries after learning of his father's murder is definitely emotionally intense, and may be uncomfortably real for some viewers
- The main characters, who are police detectives, have disturbing encounters with a racist child molester and a psychotic serial killer
- The prologue is more frightening than any other dragnet scene. A young woman is sadistically tormented by a man in front of a camera. The scene cuts to later as the girl's body is dumped in a remote location. The scene then cuts to a hotel room across the city where a man's brutalized corpse is seen on a bed, followed by a shot of the killer leaving. The killer's faces are not seen, making it all the more disturbing.
