34 | ->'''Played by:''' Creator/BrianGeraghty |
35 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ronaldpergmans1_1.jpg]] |
36 | ---- |
37 | * HumanTraffickers: He sells the women he kidnaps as sex slaves. |
38 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone [[spoiler:He's horrified after he snaps Helen's neck]]. |
39 | * ObviouslyEvil: Since the moment he appears on screen Ronald is nothing but creepy and menacing, so it come as no surprise when he starts kidnapping women. |
40 | * ParentalAbandonment: [[spoiler:Ronald kills his mother Helen in a fit of rage. We never hear what became of his father, but he's only mentioned in the past tense, so he might have died.]] |
41 | * PragmaticVillainy: Ronald gets an earful from his accomplice for kidnapping the Sullivan sisters, as one of the main reasons they’ve gotten away with their scheme is that they stick to runaway women and [[DisposableSexWorker sex workers]] few people will miss as victims. Taking two pretty teenagers with families that will miss them is bound to trigger MissingWhiteWomanSyndrome and draw a ''lot'' of attention. And he doesn't think that their customers in Canada want anything to do with the sisters. |
42 | * ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: Ronald gets away with kidnapping women for so long partly due to being in bed with a dirty cop who protected him. |
43 | * SlutShaming: He hates "immoral" women, whom he targets to sex traffic (usually the ones who are sex workers or otherwise already vulnerable). |
44 | * WouldHurtAChild: Ronald has no qualms hurting 12-year-old Erik while keeping him captive. |

51 | ---- |
52 | * MyBelovedSmother: Subverted. At first it seems like she's this, since Ronald still lives with her in his late thirties. She constantly criticizes and nags him, but it turns out this is to make something of himself other than just working as a truck driver. It thus turns out she's not smothering him, but trying to push Ronald in a better direction (it doesn't work). |

67 | ---- |
68 | * BullyingADragon: In a bout of road rage, Danielle picks a fight with a guy who just so happens to kidnap women. |
69 | * InnocentBigot: Danielle later realizes she was this with Jerrie, saying she'd been told how people who are openly bigots aren't so dangerous as ones who feel that they're progressives (such as her) that can be blind to their own failings. She apologizes for her transphobic remarks to Jerrie after this, who kindly says there's hope for her. |
70 | * PoliticallyIncorrectHero: She calls trans woman Jerrie "a guy" and pointedly asks if she has a penis (when Grace apologizes on her behalf, Danielle's baffled as to what the issue is, though Jerrie's unruffled in any case). Later however Danielle apologizes when speaking with Jerrie, realizing what she did. Jerrie is cool about it and forgives her. |
71 | * ProudBeauty: Danielle is well aware of how hot she is. |
72 | -->'''Grace:''' With me she let you go. I got the good judgement, you got [[BuxomBeautyStandard the boobs]]. |
73 | -->'''Danielle:''' And the butt! |

81 | ---- |
82 | * CureYourGays: Jerrie's parents sent her to a therapist in hopes this would stop her being transgender. After it didn't, they disowned her. |
83 | * HookerWithAHeartOfGold: Jerrie starts out as a sex worker and is a very sweet, kind-hearted person. |
84 | * IHaveNoSon: Jerrie was disowned and thrown out by her parents for telling them she was a trans girl. |
85 | * ShamefulStrip: Jerrie is forced to undress and wash by Ronald, which she's quite unhappy with, but uses this as an opportunity to show her body, in hopes he'll set her free, being transgender (he hadn't known this, wanting to traffic only cis women apparently). |
86 | * TransTribulations: Jerrie tells Danielle how she realized early on she's really a girl, and came out to her parents at age fourteen. However, while at first they said they'd love her no matter what, their next move was that she see a therapist to "[[CureYourGays cure]]" her of this. Naturally, it didn't work and they threw Jerrie out. After that she lived in a trailer park and had to do sex work for survival. |
87 | * UnsettlingGenderReveal: Jerrie shows Ronald her body (she's transgender) after he makes her strip and wash, in hopes of ruining his plan to sell her as a sex slave (because apparently he only wants cis women) and he reacts with shock at seeing this. |

105 | * BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler:Legarski is downed by Cassie this way.]] |
106 | * DirtyCop: [[spoiler:He turns out to be involved with sex trafficking, and murders Cody covering it up.]] |
107 | * IdentityAmnesia: [[spoiler:Legarski suffers this after being shot in the head and losing his recent memories. He discovers to his shock that he's facing charges of murder and sex trafficking, not recalling any of it. After being told this, and identified by Grace as a murderer, he just protests "I'm a Montana state trooper", apparently with no recall of his criminal actions. It's a partial example, because he remembers his name etc. just not that he was ever a criminal (since he forgot his dad died three years ago, it's possible all his memories since then are gone)]]. |
108 | * LossOfIdentity: [[spoiler:He forgets the last three years as a result of brain damage, and this includes his criminal history apparently. When he wakes up to find himself accused of murder and sex trafficking, he's incredulous, repeating "I'm a Montana state trooper" then horrified when he realizes this must be true. The decent guy he used to be is all that's left it seems.]] |
109 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:He shows genuine horror at learning he killed two people and sex-trafficked women, since he'd forgotten all about it due to brain damage.]] |
110 | * ObviouslyEvil: [[spoiler:He's a more nuanced case as he comes off as just weird right of the bat, but during his initial meeting with Cassie he might as well have been wearing a sign that said "I'm involved" given how creepy he behaved.]] |
111 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He expresses some standard right-wing complaints of how America went downhill, political correctness goes too far, verging off into misogyny and racism, claiming he wants to save young people from immorality [[spoiler:while also being a murderous human trafficker who believes the women he does this to [[UsefulNotes/VictimBlaming deserve it]] [[SlutShaming for them being promiscuous]]]]. |
112 | * PrettyLittleHeadshots: [[spoiler:Legarski receives a headshot, which leaves a tiny hole and mere trickle of blood. Justified, since it doesn't kill him.]] |
