:: These Aren't the Kidnappers You're Looking For not the droids I'm looking for
At the Cains' annual charity event, Conrad thinks he's found the man behind Leo's abduction when his old running buddy Sully crashes the party. Meanwhile, Ellie thinks that she's found the kidnapper when an oily, goateed gent approaches her demanding money in exchange for her son's safe return. Turns out they're both wrong, but not before crunchy beatings are dispensed for one and for all. So it turns out the winners here are us viewers. Unless, of course, you wanted the recaps to continue beyond three episodes.
:: Lend Me Your Ears
Good news for the Cains: The kidnappers send them a special package. The bad news for the Cains: It's a severed human ear. The good news: It's not Leopold's. The bad news: It might be Aubrey's. So King and Knapp hit the dusty trail to Providence to find yet another Cain offspring who might have been kidnapped.
:: Total Eclipse of the Son
Not five minutes after we meet Conrad Cain and his seemingly perfect family, someone absconds with Cain's kid and demands $20 million dollars in ransom. This looks like a job for Jesus! Or at least for Jeremy Sisto, who looks an awful lot like Jesus. Watch as he attempts to track down the kidnappers, butt heads with the FBI, deal with mysterious, secret-harboring Cains, and -- oh yeah -- find the kid. Is he successful during this series premiere? You really don't know that much about serial-based TV shows, do you?

huh, these *were* the front page headlines right? but they are not the same as on the current Kidnapped show page:
Fake Kidnappers, Real Beatings
Sorry, Wrong Number - Some moocher tries to convince Ellie that he's the kidnapper and gets beaten savagely by Knapp for his efforts. Conrad tries to convince himself that his old friend Sully is the kidnapper -- at least until Sully winds up with two bullet holes in his chest.
It's Wednesday at 10: Do You Know Where Your Daughter Is?
Special Delivery - You know, the Cain children have a funny habit of getting themselves kidnapped. This time, it's Aubrey's turn to play Wheel of Abductions.
Can't Spell "Kidnapped" without the "Knapp"
Pilot - When a mysterious racquetball-wielding villain orchestrates the kidnapping of Leopold Cain, son of wealthy industrialist Conrad Cain, the Cains don't get mad -- they get Knapp!

weird. are those never the same? **************look into that later maybe.
well I like the top ones better.

and am I remembering the canasta mention right? yep. ggl: canasta kidnapped pity
takes me to the list of shows page:
Jeremy Sisto played Knapp, a man who excelled at finding people. It's a shame that he couldn't use those powers to track down an audience for this well-acted, well-paced show about retrieving the abducted son of a wealthy New York industrialist. All the Sisto- and Delroy Lindo-fueled bad-assery in the world couldn't stop NBC from giving producers the "wrap it up" sign and exiling the show to the broadcast Siberia that is Saturday night. Mr. Sobell chronicled the first three episodes; sadly, Saturday is his canasta night.

(reminded that I liked Mr Sobell's recaps bcs I looked at his recaplet for the new HBO show John from Cincinnati, below post)
