FLASHPOINT.

Tonight had to be one of the amazing  shows I've ever watched. It was about a young lady named Penny that was kidnapped by this sick man at the age of eight. This man had convinced Penny that if she was to go out, she would be killed. He had a dog electric collar on her ankle that would buzz every time she would step next to the door or any window. Nine years later, he kidnapped another young girl, bringing her to the house. He brought her, not realizing that someone would recognize her as a missing child. The cops were called to the house, and the man knew they were onto him. The man  told Penny "it's time" and gave her a gun. 

Later on in the story, the cops came, and Penny, this now brainwashed young woman, had told the other young girl to not go near them. She explained to her that the cops only wanted to convince them that they were trying to help, but in reality were going to put them into camps. That these cops were sent to capture children; that they were lead by "bad people" and were sent to get them. And that the man was holding them safe until everything was ok. He told the girl that if they left the house, they would be put in barbed wire prisons .

I was in awe that this man could convince this girl that she would be forced into a ghetto. He used past to make her believe this was happening to her, and to scare her to stay. This reminded me of Night, and really taught me how everything really does tie together.
