Ep 5. Burn, Baby, Burn

The episode "Burn, Baby, Burn" is the fifth episode of the first season of the TV show Kidnapped. In this episode, we see the kidnappers trying to keep hold of the missing teenager Leopold Cain, as his wealthy parents hire a private investigator they believe will be able to bring him back home. The episode starts with the aftermath of the bomb scare in episode four, and Leopold is frantically trying to find his father and deal with the fallout of the event.

Meanwhile, Conrad Cain, Leopold's father, is in a meeting with Virgil Hayes, the private investigator hired to locate his son. Hayes seems like an oddball, talking in riddles and giving Conrad ancient philosophical advice, but he convinces Conrad that he can find Leopold. He sets to work immediately, interviewing the family's staff and running down all leads.

As the episode progresses, we see that things are getting more and more difficult for the kidnappers. They have Leopold in a cabin in the woods, but he's no longer cooperating with their schemes. He tries to convince his captors to let him go, but they're getting desperate. They turn to their boss, "The Accountant" for help, and the three kidnappers and Leopold make a tense trip to meet him.

Meanwhile, Virgil's investigation is making some headway. He tracks down someone who might have seen Leopold's kidnappers and stumbles upon a clue that points him in the direction of Leopold's hiding place. With the help of the FBI, Virgil is able to narrow down the possibilities and realizes that the kidnappers are running out of time.

The Accountant turns out to be a mysterious figure. He's got plenty of money, but he's also got his own agenda. He seems to know more about Leopold's father than he's letting on, and the scene in which they meet is tense and cryptic.

As the episode draws to a close, the kidnappers are becoming increasingly desperate. The Accountant has given them an impossible task, and they know that if they fail, they're as good as dead. Leopold is scared and alone, but he's also resourceful. He's able to create a makeshift weapon and use it to try and escape. The situation is incredibly tense, and the episode ends on a cliffhanger as we're left wondering what will happen next.

Overall, "Burn, Baby, Burn" is a thrilling episode that keeps the tension high and does a great job of advancing the story. It's a reminder of how good this show was, and how much it had to offer. It's definitely worth watching if you're a fan of suspenseful television with a strong cast and plenty of twists and turns.
