It is unlikely that the alien crew would have stored Foster loose in
the main crew compartment where there was a risk that he could
suddenly jump up and grab a weapon and take over the controls.
Precautions are needed when handling a combat-trained prisoner. More
likely the scene happens in the UFO's hold with nothing to see except
blank walls and a shut door.
