The Fight
Directed by Richard Shepard
Written by Edward Allen Bernero & Chris Mundy
An UnSub forces a man to beat a homeless man to death, or he'll kill his teenage daughter. The same has happened one year ago and two years ago, but all the police have to go on is that in both cases a father and a daughter were found dead in a car, and now another such pair has gone missing.Written by Edward Allen Bernero & Chris Mundy
