Record number: 20 Title: The Fall Guy Medium: TV Series Actress: Heather Thomas Description: Episode: "The Huntress" (3.14) She is knocked out and tightly bound, hands behind back, and gagged with a large white cloth between the teeth. He carries her to a truck, and the sound of her moaning and struggling leads her rescuer Cyd Charisse to her. Short scene with no close ups, but with a tight, thick gag, and so much mmmpphing that her rescuer admonishes her to hush up. She's wearing a black blouse and jeans. She also sports a thick tan tooled leather belt with Western buckle, and pair of matching cowgirl boots under her painted-on jeans. |

Record number: 19243 Title: Castle Medium: TV Series Actress: Stana Katic, Laura Coover, unknown Description: Episode: "Reckoning" (7.15) This episode wraps up a recurring plot arc for the Castle series. In a nutshell, a serial killer and his plastic surgeon partner have conspired to kidnap Detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic) at the end of the previous episode, "Resurrection" (7.14), by injecting her with something and carting her unconscious body away in a wheelchair. As "Reckoning" (7.15) begins, Castle and the cops have no idea where Kate is or what's happening to her. It's very suspenseful. Stuff happens, including the near-rescue of an unknown woman (actress uncredited) at 16-17mins, who is discovered bound to a chair; her hands are tied to the armrests with rope, feet tied together and to the chair legs, and OTM gagged with a black cloth. She meets her demise at the barrel of a gun triggered to shoot her, but Castle is somewhat relieved that it turns out not to be Kate. At 19mins an extreme close-up of Kate's eyes shows her awakening in a makeshift operating room. It is very creepy, with medical equipment and lights and the walls and ceiling lined with glistening plastic. She's cleave gagged with a black cloth, lying face up on an operating table, and bound by modern patient restraints. A wide nylon strap is across her ankles and similar straps around her wrists, binding her arms at her sides. Very wide padded restraints are across her torso and thighs. Kate was kidnapped in street clothes, but now she's wearing long pajama bottoms and a white cotton T-shirt. All of this is well-documented by the camera, including many close-ups of her gagged-face, bare feet, and her hands tugging against her bonds. At the end of the sequence the plastic surgeon enters, stating "Oh good, you're awake. We can begin." Kelly, our villainess, is played by Annie Wesching. A minor scene takes place at 26mins. Castle apprehends cute blonde Amy at gunpoint, demanding information on Kate's whereabouts. Her hands are then bound behind her back with a white ziptie onscreen, and she is forced into a car trunk. She is not shown again. Later, at 27-29mins, Kate and Kelly have what is (IMHO) one of the great gloating scenes of television. The interaction is very well-staged by the director. Kate is ungagged but the cloth is left around her neck, with Kelly explaining that she intends to have surgery to give herself Kate's face. She spends some time using an elaborate scanning device to record Kate's facial features, then re-gags her to some angry mmpphhing. Meanwhile, Castle has chased the serial killer to a house in the country. At 31mins he spots a PC monitor showing real-time footage of Kate gagged and strapped to the table, but is overpowered by the man he was looking for all along. He is forced to sit in front of the monitor and watch Kate meet her fate, all while Kate has to watch the scanning device being finalized by Kelly. More great close-ups of this. However, Detective Esposito makes use of his army sniper training and follows Castle's order to "Take the shot." The killer thought he was manipulating Castle, but it was a double-manipulation. Meanwhile at 37-38mins, back at the doctor's creepy lair, Kate has been busy picking apart the stitching of her left wrist restraint with her fingernails. Kelly keeps trying to call her partner on her smartphone, but as he's now a cooling corpse, the calls don't go through. The calls do serve to lead the cops to her location, however. Finally, she realizes something has gone wrong, so she picks up a scalpel and leans close to Kate begin the facial surgery. A very determined Kate suddenly grabs Kelly's hand with her now free left hand. The expression on Kate's gagged face is priceless; pure venom. When Castle and the cops finally arrive within less than a minute, Kate is free and standing over the doctor's corpse with the bloody scalpel in her hand. |

Record number: 312 Title: What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962) Medium: Movie Actress: Joan Crawford Description: Blanche (Crawford), who is crippled and living in the same house as her mentally unstable sister Baby Jane (Bette Davis), tries to reach the outside world by calling their family doctor for help at 1hr 28-31mins. Enraged by this, Bette viciously kicks her into unconsciousness on the floor. She then drags Blanche upstairs by her arms. At 1hr 38-39mins, housecleaner Elvira (Maidie Norman) is shocked to discover Blanche in the bedroom; she is lying on the bed, hands tied overhead to a stirrup with white rope, feet unbound (being part of her disability), and gagged with a strip of white tape. Elvira goes to help her, but fails to take heed of Blanche's frantic mmpphhing: sneaking up from behind, Bette kills her off-camera with a hammer to the head. Blanche is later shown briefly at 1hr 47mins, in darkness, while the phone rings. Cue a long sequence at 1hr 50-54mins, during which Bette pays her visit. She ungags Blanche onscreen by peeling the tape back so that it remains stuck to one cheek, then goes off on a long and crazy monologue about stuff that happened in their childhood (Jane seemingly caused her to be crippled after a car crash, some 30yrs ago). At the end of the sequence, police come calling. This prompts Jane to re-tape Blanche's mouth onscreen and go downstairs to answer the door. From hereon until 2hrs 1min, we see Blanche (having managed to ungag herself offscreen) struggling to reach for a table lamp in order to attract the attention of an unwanted house guest moseying around downstairs. In a drunken stupor, he eventually stumbles upon Blanche, but is utterly clueless on how to react. He simply runs out of the house in confusion. The scene essentially ends when Jane unties Blanche onscreen, drags her out of the bedroom and onto her wheelchair, then drives her to the beach. All in all a very slow-paced, nutty scene featuring many vivid close-ups. All times based on the Blu-ray release. |

Record number: 17054 Title: Law & Order: Special Victims Unit aka Law & Order: SVU Medium: TV Series Actress: Mariska Hargitay Description: Episode: "Surrender Benson" (15.1) Having been ambushed as she walked into her apartment in the season 14 cliffhanger ending, season 15 opens with Det. Benson (Mariska) suffering in a tipped-over chair. Her wrists are handcuffed behind her back, and her ankles are duct taped to the chair legs. She is also gagged with a wide strip of tape (ear to ear and quite well-sealed). Her captor rights the chair, peels off the tape from her mouth and pours some whiskey down her throat. A particularly nasty back-and-forth follows, which culminates in him knocking her out with a pistol whipping. At 13mins into the episode, she is laying stretched out on the back seat of a car, still tape gagged. She is ungagged long enough for him to pour vodka down her throat, and then re-gagged. He throws a blanket over her as the drive continues. The car is pulled over by a rookie cop at 17mins, but by the time he spots Benson in the back seat, the killer is ready to kill him with his own gun. The drive then continues until the captor finds a beach shack, where he stretches her out on the old-fashioned iron bed at 20mins. Her wrists are still in the handcuffs, and her legs are now duct taped together. Lots of strained, agony-filled mmpphhing. His attempt at raping her is interrupted when a mother and young daughter knock on the door at 25mins, which gives Benson time to break off one of the iron bars on the bed, allowing her to get up, and providing a weapon for her to use on him. She swings the bar like a baseball bat with her still handcuffed hands, and knocks him out at 30mins. |
