Throughout the first act, the captor's nightly visits are implied by sound (creaking bed, moaning) and by the woman hiding her son in a wardrobe each time; this pattern recurs repeatedly before the escape.
The captor chokes the woman during an angry confrontation; bruising is visible on her neck the following morning.
A young child is wrapped in a rug and placed in a truck to attempt escape; the sequence is tense and the child is in genuine physical danger.
