Ep 2. Hunt In The Hollow

In Southern Justice season 3 episode 2, titled "Hunt In The Hollow," viewers are taken on a thrilling ride through the backcountry of southern United States. The show revolves around the intense and dangerous work of law enforcement officers, tracking and catching criminals in the state of Mississippi.

This particular episode starts off with a hunting expedition - two friends, both avid hunters, are out in the remote woods, searching for wild game. As dusk approaches, the two men realize they might be in trouble as they find themselves lost and disoriented. With no cell phone reception and no other means of communication, they struggle to find their way back to civilization.

Meanwhile, the local Sheriff's Department is alerted to a dangerous fugitive on the run in the same area. The criminal, a known drug offender, is considered armed and dangerous, and has managed to evade capture for days. The Sheriff's Department, led by Sheriff Joey East, quickly mobilizes a search team comprised of highly trained officers with years of experience in tracking criminals in rural areas.

Despite the odds stacked against them, the search team sets out on foot, using their specialized tracking skills to comb through the backcountry. The officers move through dense brush, treacherous streams, and steep hills in pursuit of the fugitive. The search quickly becomes more intense as the sun sets, and the officers are forced to use night vision equipment to continue their pursuit.

At the same time, the two hunters who had become lost in the woods stumble upon a grizzly discovery - the fugitive's hideout. The hunters realize that they might have accidentally stumbled onto the criminal's hideout, and they decide to take matters into their own hands, calling the Sheriff's Department themselves to report their discovery.

The Sheriff's Department quickly converges on the location, which turns out to be a small wooden cabin deep in the woods. As the officers approach the cabin, they are met with resistance from the fugitive, who is heavily armed and dangerous. The officers surround the cabin, calling for the fugitive to come out. There is a tense standoff that lasts for hours, with the fugitive refusing to surrender or negotiate.

Ultimately, it's a combination of the officers' expert training and a bit of luck that enables them to gain the upper hand. The fugitive makes a mistake, which sets off a chain of events that culminates in his capture. However, as the officers soon realize, their work isn't done. In addition to apprehending the fugitive, they must secure his hideout and search for evidence that might tie him to other crimes.

The episode ends on a high note, with the fugitive safely in custody and the officers praised for their hard work. However, Southern Justice reminds viewers that the work of law enforcement officers is never easy or predictable, and that it takes constant vigilance to keep communities safe from the dangers of crime. This episode is a thrilling ride through the heart of America's wild countryside, and is a must-watch for fans of true crime and action-packed shows alike.
