Fringe "August"

Jennifer Missoni stars in "August," a second season episode of the TV series Fringe.

Jennifer plays a woman who's been kidnapped by one of the bald men who're known on the show as the Observers.

She's left bound and gagged in a motel room while her abductor goes out.

She manages to escape, only to be recaptured when the Observer returns and ties her up again.

Even though she's not barefoot, this episode always resonated with me because the Observer fell in love with her. He actually kept her bound like this because he was "protecting" her.

Fringe was a great SF series in its own right, I put it in the same league as the X-Files (a show which Fringe had been accused of ripping off). Give it a shot.
