The TV Series

Season One
  • Despite being basically blind and in horrible pain, Wilson manages to escape his torturer Lee by dislocating his thumbs and severely wounding him with his own gun before leaving.
  • Grant is held hostage in episode six by the assistant who needs Grant to remember a series of numerical sequences or else he will have Grant's mother killed. Although under surveillance, Grant not only escapes but kills the assistant by stabbing him in the neck with a piece of plastic and calls off the death squad watching his mother by impersonating his captor.
  • Milner definitely counts in the season's finale. After posing as a seemingly good benefactor for the group as their inside person within the Network, she managed to play every single one of them like fiddles, with the most notable moment in her being able to actually arrest Jessica. Even better? She doesn't even need the manuscript, as she knows that Janus is inside Jessica all along, and she plays her game patiently to get into a position where she can arrest Jessica for her gains without any hitch.

Season Two

  • From episode 2, Jessica withstands five months of brutal torture, and kills her first torturer with a screwdriver. She later tricks her second interrogator and creates a deathtrap within her cell using pages from a Bible and the mechanism of the cell.
  • Arby rescues Grant, Ian, Donaldson, and Becky.
  • Jessica's escape from the facility, using nothing more than the spring from a pen.
  • Ian retrieved data from a TV network headquarters on his own.
  • A small one for Milner: she immediately realizes that Jessica is in Dugdale's home after seeing a Bible on his couch.
  • Dugdale getting his wife and Alice out of their cell. Special points go to Jen for stabbing the security guard with the knife.
  • Wilson manages to shoot (and actually kills) Mr. Lee. Furthermore, he carves the Chinese symbol for "rabbit" on his torso without any anesthesia, further completing his ascension as the new Mr. Rabbit.
