Record number: 11623 Title: Into the Blue (2005) Medium: Movie Actress: Jessica Alba aka Jessica Marie Alba Description: Towards the end of the film, Alba is captured offscreen and is being held captive on a ship. During a phone call to one of her friends, she is shown from above the shoulders in a close-up seated next to her captor. Duct tape has been wrapped once around her mouth, and her hands are bound behind her (no visible bonds at this point). Such is the tightness of her wraparound gag, the tape even covers the lower part of her ears; in a nice visual touch, she turns her head to the side for us to get a good view of it. As the phone call ends, we still see her from the same angle whilst her captor indulges in a typical bad guy monologue. She becomes teary-eyed as he makes his threats, then shoots dead a fellow captor in front of her, which prompts a muffled scream and some wide-eyed mmpphhs (some of his blood manages to splatter onto her face and shoulders, but it's not particularly graphic). Only once is she shown briefly from further away, from the waist up, as she remains seated. A while later, she has been moved offscreen to an area below deck. Now only handcuffed by one hand to the aforementioned dead captor's body, the sequence begins with her lying on her stomach (she was most likely knocked out) and slowly trying to pull herself up using her free hand. Lots of good, well-lit full-body shots and close-ups as she stares dejectedly--and still tightly tape gagged--at her aforementioned friend who has come to save her. From hereon she spends about a minute struggling to free herself. First she rips away the tape from her mouth, then starts to laboriously drag the body across the floor in order to find something to cut away the handcuffs. A large knife winds up doing the trick, which she uses to hack away the guy's hand (thankfully it cuts away just before). Attire-wise, our perpetual damsel Alba wears an attractive striped tanktop with spaghetti straps, as well as light blue jeans. She is also barefoot, which is shown extensively in the second part of the scene. |

Record number: 7095 Title: Dark Angel Medium: TV Series Actress: Jessica Alba aka Jessica Marie Alba Description: Episode: "Designate This" (2.1) Max (Alba) is recaptured by Manticore. She is strapped down in a lab with her head clamped in place and gagged with a blue medical gag which looks like a large orange slice with a breathing tube through it. This is done while they are implanting a genetic virus on her eye with a laser. Brief scene but a lot of great struggling. At about 30 minutes of a 55 minute broadcast with adverts. |

Record number: 16748 Title: Orphan Black Medium: TV Series Actress: Tatiana Maslany Description: Episode: Parts Developed In an Unusual Manner (1.07) Kind of a confusing premise for this scene, in that its unsure just how much time Tatiana herself may have spent acting the part of the victim. Near the end of the episode, Sarah (Tatiana) walks into the bad guy’s office in an attempt to save her boyfriend. The bad guy calls his boss, who orders Sarah prepared for transport. A hood is quickly pulled over her head, and her hands are ziptied behind her back. She is then walked into a storeroom, where Helena (another clone, also Tatiana) sneaks up behind the escort and knocks her cold. Helena chokes a still-hooded Sarah while interrogating her, before the scene changes. The bad guy comes into the storeroom to find out why the guard is unconscious, and finds Helena under the hood, but unrestrained. Psycho Helena quickly subdues the bad guy while Sarah frees her boyfriend and escapes. |

Record number: 16926 Title: Delete (2012) Medium: TV Movie Actress: Erin Karpluk Description: Low budget flick which has an evil, self-aware computer A/I taking over the world. As reporter Erin and her friends try to stop it, they are captured by militant geek Seth Green. At 1:36 into the broadcast version (including commercials), she and her two male companions find Seth’s hiding place in an abandoned warehouse, but are caught in one of his booby traps. All three are then imprisoned sitting on the floor, hands tied behind their backs and blindfolded. They manage to convince Seth that they are on his side, and he unties them. At 1:54, the warehouse is attacked by FBI agents that are being controlled by the A/I. Erin and the two guys are captured again, and this time are put into the back of an SUV with hands secured behind their backs with yellow plasti-cuffs. The cuffs are also used to secure their ankles. They manage to convince one of the FBI guys to free them so that they can disable the A/I. |
