Kidnapped episode 8 GONE FISHING what does that title refer to?
twop p28 catperson-
I loved that they left King standing - literally - without his car and without Virgil, by taking his car! oh see I missed that, must have shown him coming out and finding the car gone. Wonder where they'll take the Accountant to do the...interrogating? Wonder if they took the blowtorch?
I'm kinda leaning toward some international cartel kind of thing as being behind it all. Notice how Conrad told Roger he was buying up his own stock? There's something going on in the business end, probably has something to do with those Chinese guys.
I hope that they're not planning to sell Leo into white slavery, like King alluded to when he brought up that story about the kidnapper who sold his victims. Calico Jim -was that this episode? yep first part, its where I started taking notes bcs DelroyLindo as King is not easy to understand and I like the way he speaks - boy feels like a long time ago I watched that - indeed it was four hours ago, whew. It actually would make good sense: get rid of the kid to someplace he'd never escape from or be recognized in; terrorize both him and his parents, once they find out; send a message to Rand or Cain or whoever this is aimed at...plus it would make for a great Leo scene, as they start carting him off in chains onto some ship, as he realizes what's about to happen to him. Then Virgil and Knapp swoop in and rescue him, he gets thrown overboard but he's in chains so he can't swim and has to hold his breath (voila!) right long enough for them to find him and rescue him. Eureka! I just finished the show!
...if "Joseph" is really Leo's long-lost uncle who was kidnapped and sold off to someone as a child (or lived in a commune ?? thereby meeting and knowing Knapp?), it really may just be about him getting revenge for getting stolen himself. Just like in the Bible story of Joseph who was kidnapped and sold into slavery; Joseph may have told Leo to call him Joseph.
-I didn't notice that the car with Virgil was gone until I went back and took a better look at the computer screen in the storage room. oh. we dont see King walk out, we see him look at the camera shots on the laptop and then close it. I guess if paying attention we see on camera that the car is no longer out front. (knapp wld have seen on camera when king was coming in, ok.)
-I'm clueless about a lot of stuff, but this week, mostly I'm wondering about the book in the mailbox. Knapp didn't keep it. He didn't take time to photograph it. Did he put a note in it before putting it back? Something like "Come to the light side"? lucien..
--I didn't understand that either. I thought he was going to wait for whomever to pick it up, but I guess it took too long. I think he put a tracking device in it; I believe that's what he was looking for and Turner told him exactly where it was in his wallet. Ha. Behind his Amex card. She's good; I think that surprised him.
--Knapp did take a picture of it with his cell phone camera and Turner deciphered it as they spoke. Then he stuck the "thing-a-ma-bob" tracking device into the book before he returned it to the locker. ...Knapp said "It's personal" when he was talking to Turner about the kidnapping - video cameras, etc. Anyone else think that this has something to do with a company Conrad Cain closed down that put guys - like Bill - out of work a year ago and now they're working for the kidnappers? Other things I picked up on the last 3 eps (in no particular order):
What was in that secret file Conrad has on Daddy Rand? Must be some powerful blackmail material.
Knapp and Kellogg sure know how to push each others buttons! I love it! Knapp: "I think I'll have a steak tonight ... and sex." Kellogg: "You're seeing someone?" Kellogg: "I keep all my secrets up here [points to head] while you keep yours in there [points to Knapp's heart]."
Knapp's imaginary childhood enemy: Archibald Dillinger! And he's still around!
The emails Leo received were from "Sanjuro" which, if I have it right, is the name of a samurai character from a Kurosawa movie played by Toshiro Mifune. It makes sense because Virgil is a modern-day samurai.
Roger may as Virgil suspected be the inside mole in all this. He hired Virgil, he referred the Cain's to Knapp. oh right. He would likely have had access to the Cain's home to allow the installation of cameras. What is the motive?
