Capturing costs the capturing player an action and happens once: the Bio-Terrorist discards his hand and his pawn goes on the capturer's role card. While captured he can only Draw or Escape, so he loses the Drive/Ferry move, and he does not lose cards again on later turns. Escape is a Direct Flight to a city, including the city he was captured in, and he is spotted on arrival. After escaping he continues his turn normally.
