Captured on Purpose	comment	When one, some, or all the members of a heroic or villainous side are captured, sometimes it was part of the plan all along. Other times it isn't, but the captives will make use of their improvisational skills and whip the captors in due time. The usual set-up for this trope is for someone to willingly surrender in order to be taken into the enemy base. When a hero does this, it's usually so they can get inside the Big Bad's secret lair, stop them, and maybe rescue a few prisoners on the way. When a villain does this, it's usually so they can escape while wreaking maximum havoc; expect at least one of the heroes to be a little bit suspicious and say something like "It's too easy". Alternatively, the one who is captured does put up a fight, fooling both the other side and the audience; his defeat and imprisonment is All According to Plan. See also The Infiltration. Supertrope to Get into Jail Free; this trope doesn't require a jail setting. Compare Assimilation Backfire, Playing Possum, Wounded Gazelle Gambit. May or may not invoke Pity the Kidnapper, or involve becoming a Poisonous Captive. Often overlaps with Prison Episode, as many such episodes are the result of this. Trojan Prisoner is a variant of this when a captive(s) is brought in by their friends posing as the enemy guards to fool the other guards. See also Self-Restraint when they willingly let themselves be put into prison and stay there for various reasons, and Play-Along Prisoner, where they could escape at any time but choose not to.

Captured on Purpose / int_109f7814	comment	Moriarty's "Crime of the Century" in the Sherlock episode "The Reichenbach Fall". He breaks into the Tower of London, the Bank of England, and Pentonville prison, three of the most secure locations in England, in one day, then is apprehended wearing the crown jewels. He's then acquitted, despite being caught red-handed, offering literally no evidence in his favour, not even bothering to have a lawyer and actually admitting he was guilty! This actually has very little to do with his endgame in the episode; it's almost entirely about showing off and making Sherlock look foolish.

Given that she's later revealed as an undercover FBI agent, it's fairly clear in retrospect that she planned it that way; the reason isn't explicitly given, but it likely had something to do with nudging the detectives in the right direction.

Inquisitor Oak secretly arranges for the Guardsmen to be betrayed and captured at the end of The "Stealth" Mission as part of a plan to get them into enemy-controlled territory. Since the Guardsmen weren't aware of this plan, they almost ruin it by escaping; it's sheer dumb luck that they chose to try and steal Oak's ship in the process, giving them a chance to explain themselves.

He stays in the Blue Clan's prison for most of the season, leaving many of the other characters to wonder why he's doing this when he could break out so easily, particularly since he's usually not the type to let anyone boss him around, certainly not the Blues. The truth is, he is on the verge of losing control of his powers, and he wants to not have to worry about that... at least until he finds the murderer who killed his clansman so that he can let it all out in a Roaring Rampage of Revenge.

Captured on Purpose / int_1bdaaf70	comment	A mistaken case happens in Noob. Sparadrap lets himself get captured by players from the opposing in-game faction due to thinking it's part of a game. The reason the enemy players captured him is that they are convinced that he is much higher in his faction's pecking order than he actually is after an Invincible Incompetent-type confrontation with him. One of them realizes that Sparadrap could be wanting to get into their headquarters on purpose just a few seconds before Sparadrap suddenly gets bored and asks to get untied, getting him mistaken for realizing he's been discovered. The captors also realize there would be downsides to letting him go as well, which causes them to silently face the dilemma until Sparadrap starts running after a cute animal and gets mistaken for escaping. The plotline involving Sparadrap's guildmates happens to to bring the latter to that very same location right when this happens, which does not help Sparadrap's case in the eyes of the captors.

Sauron had come close to defeating the Elves when the armies of Numenor arrived and wiped out Sauron's forces. He never forgot this, and when he re-emerged hundreds of years later, he allowed himself to be taken prisoner and brought to Numenor, where he quickly talked his way into the King's inner circle and corrupted the leaders, leading to Numenor's utter destruction when the Numenoreans were convinced by Sauron to attack the Valar themselves.

Captured on Purpose / int_38fa34eb	comment	Wonder Woman: During the Golden Age of Comics Wondy regularly allowed herself to be captured in order to find hostages, locate villains' hidden bases or identify villains whose faces or names were unknown. Given that she can tear through any restraints they put on her with ease, and even break chains welded to her bracelets which drains her powers, this tactic works to her advantage. Sensation Comics: When Dr. Poison captured Steve Trevor from an army hospital the "nurse" attending him, "Diana Prince", went out of her way to ensure she was kidnapped as well. Worlds Finest 1941 #245 had her fake being injured to be captured and taken to the Iron Claw, a Nazi who kidnapped Steve, only for him to use her Magic Lasso against her and really capture her. Wonder Woman (1942): Eviless' capture by Wonder Woman turns out to just be a step in her plan to destroy the Amazon. By having herself and her followers imprisoned on Reformation Island she'll be able to strike at Paradise Island directly and she's already thought up a way around the Amazons' Heelâ€“Face Brainwashing Venus Girdles. Wonder Woman: Black and Gold: Diana allows herself to be captured and interrogated in order to find and capture an enemy general the US had no pictures of and thus couldn't identify and capture by other means.

They know that the conspirators' plant in their midst, Goro Akechi, will try to capture and then to assassinate Joker, the most important member of the Phantom Thieves, so they allow him to succeed at the first part. Joker then uses the brief window of time before Akechi arrives to effectively flip his interrogator, Sae Nijima, to his side (while heavily drugged, no less). With Sae's assistance, they trick Akechi and his superiors into believving the Phantom Thieves have been decapitated, giving Joker an opportunity to completely blindside them at the climax of the final act.

A helicopter drops Bond off at the oilrig Blofeld is using as a control station for his Kill Sat. Blofeld scoffs at the idea that he's come to negotiate, and orders Bond thoroughly searched to find out what he's hiding—an ordinary tape hidden in the lining of his jacket that he planned to switch with the computer control tape. Raoul Silva in Skyfall is taken captive by Bond and incarcerated in a glass cell. But as MI6 soon discover, this is just so that he can hack into their computers, automatically open his cell, waltz through the London underground, and into the middle of a courtroom to shoot M.

Though no one told the fanboyish scientist who tried to "rescue" them, much to Jack's annoyance. Then the agent gets exposed and killed, and SG-1 actually does need the rescue. In season 10 Daniel is converted by the arc's Big Bad, the Ori, and apparently brainwashed. However, he is also planning to get captured by SG-1 so he can take over one of Earth's star ships and kill the Ori. He even criticizes SG-1 for taking too long to capture him and leaving him too little time to execute his plan.

Relying on the fact nobody would pay too much attention to an old man, his plan was to rob whoever bought him blind before ditching his collar and going back to gambling. After thinking it through, however, he realized that no one would want to buy an old man as a slave in the first place, so he went ahead and broke himself free (along with the rest of the slaves, while he was at it). It was stated in Kaido's introduction that he had been captured by the Marines and imprisoned in gigantic ships designed specifically to contain him several times, only for him to break free every single time. Much later, it was revealed that he allowed himself to be captured so that he could eat free food in the prison ships and break free once his hunger was sated.

A woman, calling herself Earthworm, reveals she has kidnapped him and is now torturing him for information while leaking details about his personal life. However, after Shijima's gang arrives to negotiate with hers, both leaders get a phone call from 'Izaya Orihara', causing the two to freak out and question who they captured. Shijima, to cover up a lie, tries to kill the captive who has somehow freed himself and uses the knife to cut the bag off, revealing Izaya was indeed captured. Izaya's own gang appears to free him, and it is shown that Izumi was the one on the phone. Izaya then proceeds to mock Earthworm's torture technique, which did little besides getting him wet, and then watches as both gangs are reduced to bloody pulps. In reality, he had been hired by the Awakusu to get info on Amphisbaena and Heaven's Slave and had masterminded the entire thing to get rid of both groups, find out all their secrets and keep Nakura (who had been the founder of both groups) under his thumb.
