Sex & Nudity

  • The plot of the episode focuses on a young girl who is kidnapped and almost trapped in the sex trade.
  • A man takes McCall on a tour of the sleaziest places in town so McCall can find the girl. Many signs and outsides of establishments are seen, but nothing explicit. Some lingering shots on clothed backsides of women during this scene.
  • Several references to prostitution, of both young girls and boys, though younger viewers might miss them.
  • Th kidnapped girl is seen chained to a bed wearing only a towel around her chest and waist, though this is done tastefully and nothing is seen at all.
  • When McCall raids the trafficking place, many people are seen running out of rooms, some dressed in very tight outfits, though no nudity whatsoever is seen. One transvestite man is seen running away.
  • In a club, some women in very tight clothing are seen dancing at two different times in the scene.

Violence & Gore

  • McCall hits a man in the face with a duffel bag, knees another man and knocks him over the head with a gun, and shoots a third attacker, killing him.
  • A man holds another man at gunpoint, but the man being held disarms the gunman, and McCall fires a small blade into the man with the gun's chest, killing him, bloodlessly.

Profanity

  • 2 uses of 'damn'.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • A girl is seen after having been drugged for a while. Her kidnappers talked about having drugged her, but this only occurs once.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The theme of the episode is trafficking, and it may be disturbing for younger viewers. Definitely a heavier and darker episode than the previous ones.
