A group of strangers are held captive is a mysterious town -- a town from which there is no escape. Then, it turns out that one of the so-called "prisoners" is in on the whole deal. That's the story so far on 'Persons Unknown' (Sat., 8PM ET on NBC).

[Spoiler alert.]

Joe Tucker (Jason Wiles) is a member of the organization that kidnapped our heroes and brought them to the town. Now, Joe wants out. However, getting out may not be so easy. In the course of the episode, we learn that the organization has existed for fifty years, and has kidnapped thousands of people.

Because of his rebellion, the organization decides to murder Joe. Tom (Reggie Lee) is sent to do the job.

Which is when Janet (Daisy Betts) shows up. Tom is holding Joe at gunpoint inside a restaurant. But Janet splashes a pot of hot fat all over the bad guy. Tom catches fire from the stove, and becomes engulfed in flames. Ouch! Not a good way to go.

Once Tom is dead, Joe tells Janet that the two of them might be able to escape. But then, Joe goes into the bathroom for a second -- and promptly disappears.

Gosh. What is happening on this show? And will we ever get to the bottom of this crazy conspiracy?
