The Bad.

An abused woman who has already fought her way thru getting a divorce, then a restraining order and present-day's main priority is protecting her daughters is not going to spend the next couple of days leaving her daughter's care in the hands of some strange woman she just met while she 'relaxes and regroups'. She's not some useless damsel, for crikey's sake.

The next morning she is going to be down at the police station making out a statement and having her and her daughter's injuries recorded and photographed. Then she is going to have her and her daughters at a doctor to have them all checked out, not only for have medical documentation of the injuries and made sure there is no unseen damage like hairline fractures, but to make sure there are no adverse effects from being stuck in a freezing car for hours. Then she would be at bank, explaining the situation, having her bank card deactivated, and coming up with a plan to regain control of her finances.

Also it made no sense that one of the guys didn't send one of their 'agents' to her house to pick up clothing for her and her children and maybe get her wallet at the same time being bait to bring the ex and/or compatriots out in the open. And surely an 'agent' would know how to get everything to the female lead and her daughters without tipping off anyone to where they are. Heck, he could just drop the wallet off at the cop shop or clothes off at her car the garage.

The Gross.

And what the hell? The female lead has had enough whiskey that she can't stand up straight and so the sheriff, who would know that means she is not in any condition to give consent, kisses her and then sticks his hands down her pants? Who does that? A creeper, that's who.

And he also knew she was in an emotional vulnerable state of mind and presently dependent on his good will for the safety of herself and her two daughters so, even without there being whiskey involved, he should have been keeping his hands to himself just from an ethical viewpoint.

Then a couple of days later, during which they haven't even seen each other, he leads her to his bedroom without telling her where they going, locks the door and then asks for consent. This is a woman who had been emotionally battered, physically abused (her face is even still bruised) and is looking for any port in a storm at this point for her and her daughters. Of course, falling into the big strong man's arms who saved her and her daughters from certain death looks good to her. Then he proceeds to go all dom on her, ordering her into positions and demonstrating no care for how she might want it to go. And then he makes her get herself off while he's fucking her.

The Stupidity

He frowns as his gaze wanders across the printed lines,settling on a couple of traffic cam photos from a year ago—the most recent images we have of the guy since he deactivated all of his social media accounts.
Ummm... the female lead said she had pics of him on her phone and would give them to you once her phone was charged, which it is, which you know because you listened to the threatening messages he left. Maybe ask for the pics?
Or, since you're a frickin' cop, look up his booking photos? 'Cause those are a thing when a man is arrested for domestic violence.

And then it got really stupid.

Do not recommend.
