A point in a story where a character is blindfolded and taken somewhere. A blindfold is not even necessary. Being shoved and driven somewhere in a locked car trunk is pretty much blindfolded, for all intents and purposes — so long as the protagonist doesn't know where they are being taken. Sometimes used in initiation ceremonies, trust-building exercises, or to hide the location of where a prisoner is being taken. Sometimes a character will sit down and try to figure out where they were taken by other senses than their vision. Examples |

Night Watch has the History Monks blindfold Vimes to bring him to his temple so they can explain just what happened to him. Vimes gets around it by "reading" the street through his feet, since he is so familiar with the city that he can tell the difference between the different types of paving, which lets him find his way back to the temple. Lu-Tze actually bets that this would happen. | |

Minion in Megamind kidnaps Roxanne with Knockout Gas, then puts a bag over her head when she starts to wake up, so she won't know where she is. Since this isn't the first time this has happened, she's more concerned with Megamind failing to wash the bag between kidnappings than with actually being kidnapped. | |

CSI: NY: When the Cabbie Killer abducts Reed from outside the young man's apartment in "Taxi," he puts him in the trunk of his cab before transporting him to the abandoned brewery where he "works" on his victims. Reed later uses sensory clues like the sound of water running and the smell of cotton candy to help Mac trace the route. In "Smooth Criminal," just prior to becoming Sheldon's girlfriend, Camille is abducted from a bar by a hitman who blindfolds her before taking her to his apartment because he doesn't want her to know where she is. Mac is blindfolded when he’s kidnapped and taken for a ride in "The Untouchable". The intent isn’t to kill him but to get him to drop a case. Mac doesn’t intimidate, though. |

Heroes: In "A Clear and Present Danger", this happens to the entire main cast of Volume 4 sans Sylar alongside a few extras and characters from the graphic novels (and as revealed there, even supporting characters like Monica and oddly enough, Nana Dawson) in a manner reminiscent of prisoners being sent to Guantanamo Bay. After being captured, not only do they have black sacks over their heads but they're also wearing prison jumpsuits while the sacks are adorned with blacked out goggles and earmuffs as they're being transported to God knows where by plane. The only upside is that the prisoners are not aware of their situation after their capture due to being drugged unlike most examples. They are however, groggy and barely conscious, only being able to move their heads and only standing up and walking when being led by the guards. The scene itself even puts a surprising amount of focus on the hooded characters in this part with several close-up shots of them, a whole scene of Claire having the sack over head taken off after being seen hooded, the hooded characters being seen in the background when the focus isn't strictly on them and a scene showing the entire process of them being processed to the plane. Though Claire, with the help of a recovered Peter does at least make some of them conscious again, main characters and extras alike, but by the end of the episode, not only is the plane they're being transported in falling with some of them still hooded and drugged (though this may have been for the best), one of them falls out of the plane due to the air turbulence ripping out her seat with her still strapped to it and still hooded and drugged. Thankfully, said prisoner is later shown in the graphic novel, Rebellion Part 2, to be alive and well (even being given a name), using her powers to cushion herself to safety. Though funny enough, her only appearance in the show and her first appearance as more than an extra both have her having a bag over her head. Security footage of the characters being hooded was also later seen in "Exposed" as a MacGuffin for the episode. Tracy has the worst luck in this regard. Not only is she the first one to be captured (while in her bathrobe no less), she was apparently hooded and drugged for so long she gasped for breath once Claire takes off the bag over her head and undrugs her in the plane. And in the very next episode, "Trust and Blood", this happens to her again in the final scene, though this time she isn't drugged and neither is the sack on her head covered with blacked out goggles and and earmuffs. Unfortunately for her, she is redrugged and rehooded in the final scene of the episode. Note that Tracy is the only character in the series, let alone the season, who has a bag thrown over head multiple times (other than Hiro in the plane (but even then, it was only one episode) and Claire (but that's one season later)). In consecutive episodes no less. Though in the next episode, it is shown that she isn't hooded and drugged during her stay in prison. In fact, they don't do this for other superpowered humans again, even in the graphic novels. One season later, in "Strange Attractors", Claire has a bag thrown over her head again along with her roommate, Gretchen, and a few other girls as part of a sorority hazing ritual, thankfully for Claire. The two are then thrown into the trunk of a car as they're transported with the others in separate cars. Amusingly, Claire is more annoyed this is happening to her again even if under lighter circumstances. Gretchen and the others however, are clearly more nervous, breathing heavily and slightly shaking. Even when their seniors loudly closes a door behind them as the ritual starts, Claire is unfazed while the others are clearly taken aback by it. |

The Phantom: The way to the Bandar Village and the Skull Cave go through an hidden passage way through an waterfall. Whenever one of the selected few has been allowed to visit, they are being led blindfolded through the Jungle. In the 2019 Sunday Strip "The Spy Ship", the Phantom's daughter Heloise blindfolds her college room-mate and "Best Friend" Kadia when she takes her to the Bandar Village, this causing quite a few raised eyebrows within the fandom since traditionally the women being led blindfolded through the waterfall by the Phantom would end up the mother of said Phantom's children. |

A variation happens in Beverly Hills Ninja, Haru is blindfolded when he is first taken to the Big Bad's warehouse. Later, he blindfolds himself and tries to use his "ninja skills" to remember the route. He is completely clueless, of course. Luckily, his clan brother Gobei knows the route well and takes the wheel without Haru knowing. | |

This is what happens with the cobbler is brought in to sew Kasim's body back together (he was drawn and quartered by the thieves, and if he were buried like that it'd make him look like a crook) in Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves: He is blindfolded and spun around before being brought to the room where the body is kept. Interestingly, the thieves find the place in spite of this by taking advantage of the cobbler's muscle memory - one of them blindfolds him and spins him around the same number of times, then has him lead the way. | |

Birds of Prey: It happens to Black Canary in #92. While switching places with Lady Shiva for a year, Shiva taking Canary's place on the Birds of Prey while Canary trains like Shiva did in the same village, Canary comments on how the location of the village has been kept well hidden. Though unlike other examples analyzing the turns or the sounds the tires made on certain roads, she comments on how her driver speaks in broken English, with an unidentifiable accent, either by accident or design. Though the endless series of blindfolds didn't help. And unfortunately for her, she gets a bag thrown over her head minutes later as part of her training. And this is after Deathstroke did the same thing to her years earlier. | |

Discworld: Small Gods - Brutha and Vorbis, while being led through the trap-filled labyrinth of Ephebe, which protects the inner city from people like...well, Vorbis. Unfortunately, the labyrinth keepers never counted on someone with a memory as perfect as Brutha's. When he's ordered to lead Vorbis through the maze so the Omnians can take over, Brutha realises that he could just make a run for it or lead Vorbis into a trap, but can't bring himself to do it, even knowing what Vorbis has planned. Night Watch has the History Monks blindfold Vimes to bring him to his temple so they can explain just what happened to him. Vimes gets around it by "reading" the street through his feet, since he is so familiar with the city that he can tell the difference between the different types of paving, which lets him find his way back to the temple.

Happen in one of the Judge Dee stories, where the victim thinks he was taken somewhere in the mountains in a closed palanquin. Tao Gan, however, thinks it's a ruse- he thinks it more likely that they carriers simply tilted the palanquin and walked around the inner courtyard of a large house, with the occasional "Watch the cliff!" for effect. | |

Mentioned and subverted in Rainbow Six: former Russian spy Dmitriy Popov is taken by a contact to meet with the head of an IRA terrorist cell wearing a blindfold, and he notes that the car takes a deliberately circuitous route...that he doesn't bother at all trying to memorize, because he has no interest or need to do so, and because, as his internal monologue points out, trying to memorize the route is possible to a point, but after a few dozen turns, anyone will get hopelessly lost. When he meets with the terrorist leader, Popov doesn't miss the opportunity to point out that the fieldcraft is excellent, as he has no idea where he is, with the unspoken implication being that he's just stroking the terrorist's ego. | |

Altered Carbon. Takeshi Kovacs is taken unconscious to the headquarters of the Big Bad. He leaves under escort from The Dragon, who hands Kovacs a black hood while they're still in the elevator so Kovacs won't know where he's been. When Kovacs refuses to wear it, The Dragon makes it clear that either he plays along or his friends die. "Whom should I kill first?" | |

In the movie Sneakers, a man is blindfolded and kidnapped but a blind member of the team is eventually able to make out where he was taken by asking how far apart the seams sounded in the bridge that the car crossed. Subverted when the kidnap victim says he passed near what sounded like a cocktail party — it turns out to be a gaggle of geese. | |

Better Call Saul: Early in season 4, Gus Fring is seeking structural engineers to figure out how to excavate a secret basement underneath a laundromat he just purchased, with the intention of using said basement to build a meth lab. Because Gus doesn't trust local engineers, he recruits outside help from overseas. As a security measure, engineers being sought for the job must take a very complicated route that ensures anyone who doesn't pass the job interview knows minimal information about the project. They fly into Denver, where they are directed to a pre-paid car with keys under the wheel well and a burner phone in the cupholder. They are then directed by Mike to drive to a pickup point on the side of a two lane road in the Rocky Mountains, where they are to then take out their luggage and don a black hood from the trunk. Then, Mike and another guy, Nick, show up, put the candidate in the back of a windowless van, and drive him all the way down to Albuquerque, not removing the bag until the candidate is inside the laundromat. Then the candidate does an analysis of the site, while Gus is discreetly observing them from the shadows and having Mike act as his representative. The first candidate, a French engineer, is quickly rejected when he starts talking about other jobs he did and shows more interest in getting paid well than doing a proper job. As a result, he is re-bagged, put back in the van, and dumped back on the Colorado road where he left the car with a return plane ticket in his pocket. The second candidate, a German engineer, proves more trustworthy and more meticulous with his work ethic despite looking shabbier and having stomach issues, so is not subjected to the return trip and is instead hired by Gus on the spot. In the Once More, with Clarity scene of Walt and Jesse kidnapping Saul Goodman, "Breaking Bad" (the episode) has him hooded and tied up in the back of the RV. As he thinks it's Lalo's men coming for him, he has an even worse panic attack when he feels they're going off-road, and begs them to do this anywhere but the desert. |

Happens twice in The Lord of the Rings: In The Fellowship of the Ring the elves of Lothlórien insist on blindfolding Gimli's eyes before the fellowship is taken to the elf village. When he objects to being singled out that way, Aragorn says that all of them shall be blindfolded. In The Two Towers Faramir blindfolds Frodo and Sam before leading them to the refuge of Henneth Annûn. When it comes time to lead them away from the refuge, he trusts them enough to forgo blindfolds, but does want to blindfold Gollum. Frodo insists that he do it to all three of them again, and do it to Gollum last so that he can certain there is nothing to fear over it. |

Blindfold (1966): As part of General Pratt's security measures, Snow is made to wear a blindfold whenever he's brought to see Vincenti so that he doesn't know the way there. It has its desired effect; when Fitzpatrick uses torture to try to get Snow to spill Vincenti's location, Snow honestly can't say where it is since he legitimately doesn't know. | |

However, she remembers some non-visual clues that allow Monk to reconstruct the route, like a stop where she smelled fresh bread (from a bakery), a lengthy stop where no one got out of the van (at a drawbridge), and it being raining in the morning when there wasn't any rain that day (from sprinklers on the kidnappers' street). | |

Gods and Warriors: When Pirra first appears in The Outsiders, it's revealed that her abusive mother ordered her to be blindfolded and carried to a ship when they set sail to Akea so that her rebellious daughter, who's forced in an Arranged Marriage, couldn't have a look at the sea as punishment. However, Userref, Pirra's big-brotherly slave, let her have a glimpse of the sea before securing her in the hold. This is done to Hylas and Pirra when Keftian survivors capture them and take them to their hideout in Eye of the Falcon. In The Crocodile Tomb, Hylas and Pirra experience this yet again when they are first brought to meet Nebetku in the Houses of Eternity. This happens twice to Hylas in Warrior Bronze; first when the Akean rebels take him to their camp, and then when they bring him before Akastos, the rightful High Chieftain of Mycenae. |

Person of Interest Any Victim of the Week who has to be taken to the disused library that's the headquarters of Team Machine gets this. Though when Team Machine rescue Leon Tao a second time, they claim this trope is not for secrecy, but because they don't want him turning up again, asking for help. Root wears a black hood when being sent to a CIA Black Site for interrogation. In a Dramatic Irony, Control ends up suffering this fate herself. Usually though when someone gets a black hood over their head, it's a sign they're about to be carted off by assassins to be interrogated and murdered. |

The Bill. The police doubt the story of a bank manager who was held captive overnight, then forced to empty his vaults, because he said they drove over a couple of humpbacked bridges and stayed in a room near a combine harvester, none of which matches anything near Sun Hill. While the detectives are driving around checking out clues however they drive over two humps on an unpaved road and realise that the hostage, scared and locked in a trunk, could easily have mistaken them for the bridges. Working from that clue they soon find the room, which is near a factory whose machinery produces the 'harvester' sound. | |

Cabin Pressure has a Trust-Building Blunder version, where the entirety of MJN Air (all four of them) are made to don smoke hoods and rescue a dummy from a mock-airplane (filled with real smoke, because mock-smoke is a right bugger to get your hands on). They're led by Arthur, who somehow manages to interpret the instructions for everyone to hold on to the belt of the person in front of them to hold on to Martin's belt, resulting in everyone spending four minutes wandering in a circle before they catch on, and only then because Martin fainted. | |

Small Gods - Brutha and Vorbis, while being led through the trap-filled labyrinth of Ephebe, which protects the inner city from people like...well, Vorbis. Unfortunately, the labyrinth keepers never counted on someone with a memory as perfect as Brutha's. When he's ordered to lead Vorbis through the maze so the Omnians can take over, Brutha realises that he could just make a run for it or lead Vorbis into a trap, but can't bring himself to do it, even knowing what Vorbis has planned. | |

Used in at least two Sherlock Holmes stories. In both "The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb" and "The Adventure of the Greek Interpreter", Holmes' client was bundled into a carriage that they could not see out of and driven to an unknown destination. Holmes, of course, figures out where they had been taken or at least the general area from clues. | |

Mission: Impossible Film Series: In the first film, Ethan Hunt is told to put on a black hood preventing him from seeing anything before he's taken to see the mysterious Max, being told that it's "the price of admission". This is used as a Brick Joke in Ghost Protocol when Ethan goes to meet an underworld figure who happens to have one of Max's former goons working for him; the man recognises Hunt and produces a similar blindfold with a wry smile. |

Used occasionally on Burn Notice. Michael's narration discusses how this is somewhat of an occupational hazard for spies, but wearing a sack on your head is still very unpleasant. Not necessarily because you're being kept in the dark - sometimes people don't bother to wash the head bags. | |
