Mission Impossible III
Day: Tuesday September 11 2012
Time: 11:30 AM Eastern
Channel: FX
Record number: 12016

Title: Mission: Impossible III (2006)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Michelle Monaghan, Keri Russell

Description: In the entry scene Ethan Hunt´s girlfriend Julia (Michelle Monaghan) is cuffed to a chair and tape-gagged. The villain Owen Davian (Philip Seymour Hoffman) treats her with a gun to get important information from Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) whose also cuffed to a chair.

The scene continues during the last 20 minutes. Owen shoots Julia, but suprise it was not her it was the incompetently female bodyguard of Owen with an - since Peter Graves succesfull time - typical Mission Impossible second face. Julia is still alive and kept at another place. Ethan is later just right at her real hideout where he finds her ... ah you guess right ... cuffed to a chair and gagged with silver tape. Davian rips off the tape fight against a few baddies and frees her finally. There is good mmpphing and struggling.

One other short scene in this movie: at around the 17:00 mark, Keri Russell is tied to a wheelchair (arms taped to the arms of the chair). She's been beaten up a bit. Rescued by Mr. Cruise pretty quick. No gag.

MacGyver
Day: Tuesday September 11 2012
Time: 4:00 AM & 9:00 PM Eastern
Channel: Cloo
Record number: 2231

Title: MacGyver
Medium: TV Series
Actress: Kim Zimmer

Description: Episode: "Deadly Dreams" (4.7)

MacGyver gets involved with the search for an escaped serial killer who is actually a pawn for a imprisoned psychopath, Dr. Zito. The evil doctor is intent on revenge against a policewoman, Lt. Murphy (Zimmer), who put him behind bars. Dr. Zito has convinced the naive escapee that if he kills a Viking queen, he can go to Valhalla. He is convinced that Murphy is that queen, so he kidnaps her, binds her wrists behind her back/around an I-beam and then cleave gags her with black cloth. A rope around her thighs further secures her to the beam. To create the proper Viking atmosphere the escapee rigs an elaborate time bomb to blow them both up in a gasoline-fed funeral pyre. Sounds like a job for MacGyver!

Extended set of scenes starting about halfway through the episode. Zimmer does a nice job alternating between defiance and fear.

The Lone Ranger
Day: Tuesday September 11 2012
Time: 4:30 PM Eastern
Channel: WHT (World Harvest)
Record number: 7727

Title: The Lone Ranger
Medium: TV Series
Actress: Sheila Ryan

Description: Episode: "Pete and Pedro" (1.7)

About 17 minutes into the episode, owlhoots led by Fred Graham get the drop on Ellen Carter (Ryan), the Lone Ranger, Tonto and Co., leaving them tied up in a barn which they bad guys then set ablaze. After much struggling, good ol' LR slices Tonto's bonds with a piece of glass and they untie their friends and make their escape.

As per usual in the Lone Ranger series, the five male characters are bound hand and foot with plenty of rope while Ms. Carter's appears to have only her wrists tied behind her back. After the Lone Ranger unties her, we do see rope still attached to one of her wrists.

Scene lasts about three minutes with several close-ups of the heroine looking very apprehensive as the smoke billows under the doors and the flames climb the sides of the barn.
