This is when a character is forcibly brought to meet someone who, as a plot twist, turns out to have no intentions beyond just having a chat, and who is often actually the kidnapped character's ally or employer. Say, for example, someone gets kidnapped at gunpoint in the middle of the night so that they can be bundled into a car and taken to a deserted warehouse to meet... their boss, who has details on their next mission. Sometimes this has valid in-story reasons — if secrecy is paramount, for example, it may be deemed necessary for the sake of maintaining a cover. Other times, though, it just seems to be a plot twist for the sake of a plot twist — approaching the person peacefully would have worked just as well, but that way, we wouldn't have had all that lovely dramatic tension. Can come across as stupid if one of the defining traits of the character approached this way is an ability to cause massive losses and damages — see Stupid Surrender. In some cases, it can be a case of Poor Communication Kills. A Scary Surprise Party is often a specific type of this. Not to be confused with The Kindnapper, though there is some overlap. |

In Sherlock, the man who's stalking John through CCTV and has him kidnapped and taken to a warehouse is actually Mycroft, rather than Moriarty, and his offer to pay John to spy on Sherlock is not the action of a criminal mastermind but of a loving, if creepy, older brother (who is also something of a criminal mastermind - at least, Sherlock seems to think so). | |

In Exile's Honor, the propaganda and fake history taught to all Karsites makes it necessary for the foreigner Kantor to "kidnap" Alberich (who chose to leave with Kantor but not where Kantor took him) and take him over the border so the Karsite can see firsthand just how much he's been lied to. Kantor apologizes later, saying that if Alberich had not been in blatant immediate danger, he would have tried to explain things more diplomatically. | |

A Certain Magical Index: Index gets "kidnapped" by Stiyl at one point to help with an official investigation. Stiyl wanted Touma to come along too, and knew he'd have an easier time of it if Touma thought Index was in trouble rather than simply asking him. Touma figures this out immediately (he knows Stiyl, of all people, would never harm Index), but still isn't too appreciative. | |

House: Chase got kidnapped for his bachelor party and he sort of knew what was going on. That was so he had a handy excuse to use if his fiancée complained about it. Of course, she knew exactly what was going on. In Season 4, House himself was basically abducted by the CIA for most of an episode, for an emergency diagnosis on a covert agent. |

Discworld: Rincewind is kidnapped by the Revolutionaries in Interesting Times. The books also have the Running Gag of people being dragged to the palace, more or less literally, for "appointments with Vetinari" that they never actually made or agreed to in advance. While people usually have the pants scared off them after going to the palace, they're rarely actually harmed. Night Watch Discworld: Throughout the book Sam Vimes winds up knocked out by people who want to talk to him. After a while he gets irritated, and says that if people want to talk to him so badly, they could bloody well ask. |

Wonder Woman Vol. 1: Early on Di nabs Steve Trevor during one of his jobs when it looks like the Nazi agent is wise to him. While things all work out in the end for that mission and Steve takes it relatively well she notably never does so again even in situations where it's obvious Steve is in over his head, instead letting Steve mostly work things out for himself and sticking to her own job unless Steve has been properly captured and imperiled. | |

James Bond encountered this more than once: The first time he meets Felix Leiter and Quarrel in Dr. No. In You Only Live Twice, the director of the Japanese intelligence service (already named as an ally, and who remains an ally throughout the film) feels a need to have Bond lured down a corridor so he can fall through a trapdoor and down a chute which dumps him in a chair in the director's office. One can't help feeling that giving Bond a quiet invitation and directions to the stairs would have been less of a bother for both parties. On Her Majesty's Secret Service. After Bond saves Tracy's life, fighting off several gangsters in the process, those same gangsters "take him for a ride" at pistolpoint to see crime lord Draco. It turns out that Draco is Tracy's father and wants Bond to marry her. Live and Let Die. After Bond knocks out two of Mr. Big's thugs, another black man approaches him with a gun...only to hand Bond an ID card that identifies him as CIA agent Harold Strutter. In The Man with the Golden Gun, Lieutenant Hip doesn't seem to feel any need to inform Bond that the reason he's being arrested and taken out on a police launch to the middle of nowhere isn't so that they can dispose of him with no witnesses - it's so that he get a mission assignment from his boss, who is cleverly concealed in a shipwreck. For Your Eyes Only: Bond is kidnapped by 'the dove' who is actually the Big Bad's old rival. This is also before The Reveal that Kristatos is the Big Bad; at this point we believe that it is 'the dove'. It's after Bond meets him that it is cleared out. In The Living Daylights, Bond is brought to someone at gunpoint. A villain? No, it's his old friend Felix Leiter, who just wants to ask what's going on. Justified this time, as 007 had just shot and killed a senior KGB official in front of several dozen witnesses and Leiter had no way of knowing it was being staged. |

In Bad Company (2002) (the one with Chris Rock and Anthony Hopkins), Rock's character is grabbed out of bed and kidnapped as part of a training exercise. Hopkins begins to tell him how, in that situation, his mental faculties shut down in a panic when Rock interrupts, saying he knew what was going on because he identified the agents, one through his breath, one because he could feel her breasts when she grabbed him, and one because he stole his wallet while they were grabbing him. | |

Subverted when he explains his plans to fight Rahl, which involves, essentially, magic drug trafficking. When Zedd objects, his old friend binds him again, and tries to strip him of his magic. | |

In Being Human (US), Aidan is accosted by a group of vampires, has a bag thrown over his head, and is thrown into the back of the van to be transported to a secondary location. When they arrive, he is dragged out of the van and the bag is roughly snatched off his head. Aiden struggles the whole time until he sees who is in front of him: Kenny, the vampire Aidan sired. Kenny is confused by Aidan's trussed up state. He is exasperated at his henchmen, insisting that he only wanted them to escort Aidan safely to Kenny's headquarters not roughly kidnap him. | |

Ultimate Spider-Man: Spidey is kidnapped and held prisoner by Carol Danvers after Norman Osborn escapes prison. She later explains that it was partly to protect Spider-Man, who Osborn would surely go after (and partly to try to lure Osborn back to jail. Didn't work). | |

In Mr. Monk on the Road, Monk and Natalie, planning to take Monk's agoraphobic brother Ambrose on a motor home trip for his birthday, drug his birthday cake so they can get him into the motor home and get on the road without trouble. Ambrose explicitly calls it kidnapping when he wakes up, and even calls the police, but when the officers see the "victim" won't even leave the motor home, they decide it can't be that bad. Ambrose does eventually enjoy the trip somewhat. | |

Lighting Candles: Averted, unlike in the film (see below). After Tadashi is chosen by the Moon to join the Guardians of Childhood, North considers sending his yetis to throw him in a sack and bring him to the North Pole. Jack shuts him down, saying that, in his experience, this is not the way to make a good first impression. Instead, they end up sending Bunny to politely ask Tadashi to visit the Pole. | |

Jonathan Creek experiences an accidental example in one episode, in which his unique talents were called upon by a senior police officer. Apparently there was a bit of a breakdown in communications, because the two officers sent to bring him to the police station were under the impression that he was actually a suspect. The inspector was most apologetic about it. | |

Star Ocean: Till the End of Time has this near the beginning. Fayt is marooned on a planet, and has little hope of actually getting off of it. A few plot events later, when Fayt is facing the first boss of the game, who has a gun and can easily kill Fayt, Immune-to-phasers Cliff shows up to kidnap Fayt to take him to Maria, solving both the "stuck on a planet" and the first boss problems at the same time. Fayt had to be told repeatedly that Cliff was there to kidnap him. | |

In You Only Live Twice, the director of the Japanese intelligence service (already named as an ally, and who remains an ally throughout the film) feels a need to have Bond lured down a corridor so he can fall through a trapdoor and down a chute which dumps him in a chair in the director's office. One can't help feeling that giving Bond a quiet invitation and directions to the stairs would have been less of a bother for both parties. | |

Doctor Who: "Death in Heaven": The Doctor is drugged and taken by armed men. Turns out it's UNIT, looking for his help. To be fair, the Earth is in danger at that point, and the Doctor is known to do whatever he wants. "Fugitive of the Judoon": First Graham, and then Ryan and Yaz, find themselves teleported to an alien spaceship by the Doctor's old friend Captain Jack Harkness, who is trying to grab the Doctor but having difficulties due to his stolen, cheap equipment and interference from a Judoon enforcement field, along with not knowing what the current Doctor looks like. Jack is trying to warn the Doctor about a universal threat connected to a "lone Cyberman", but settles for having the companions pass on the message before the stolen ship's security systems force him to leave. |

Scarlet Lady: In one episode, Tikki gets seriously ill. Chloe (who, in this reality, became the holder of the Ladybug Miraculous) refuses to take the time to take Tikki to a healer (which she's practically begging for). Marinette (who holds the Bee Miraculous) and Pollen see Chloe talking to the visibly ill Tikki through their car window, with Marinette believing that Chloe stole Tikki while she was sick and vulnerable (Pollen knows the truth but says nothing). This results in Marigold kidnapping Tikki and taking her to Master Fu so she can be healed. Because Tikki was so sick, she had her consent. | |

Like a Hero out of myths: Outside of Gensokyo, youkai require others to believe in them in order to exist. Thus, when Izuku's youkai nature started developing, Sumireko had to kidnap him and keep him in a special house for nearly two days while she worked on a way for him to survive. Later on, Izuku is forced to kidnap an unconscious Ochako from the hospital and take them to Gensokyo before they finish transforming completely into a werewolf, so that they wouldn't wind up dying due to that same lack of belief. |

In the beginning of the Witchblade Masane got kidnapped with the help of a tranquilizing gun by an assistant of her would-be employer. Looks like a risk, given how much could go wrong note starting from the needle being simply deflected by the armor and that they knew there's no way to stop a Witchblade user if she would as much as panicked from waking up in an unknown place later. | |

In The Living Daylights, Bond is brought to someone at gunpoint. A villain? No, it's his old friend Felix Leiter, who just wants to ask what's going on. Justified this time, as 007 had just shot and killed a senior KGB official in front of several dozen witnesses and Leiter had no way of knowing it was being staged. | |
