- [Jessica]: Ah!

OK!

- OK.

- We're safe.

[Both chuckling]

What did you really think of the play?

- Well...

I love the design of the program. It's--

- [Chuckling]: Oh no!

- No, I'm serious.

This is the real work of art right here.

I bet you it was designed by a talented, smart, beautiful woman

who's got great taste in men.

[Chuckling]

[Evan sighing]

[Giggling]

Come on! We're almost there.

- No, I can't do it!

Oh no!

I can't wait to get out of these shoes and into a bath!

- I love you in heels.

You don't wear them enough!

- I'm sure you'll see them again sometime...

next year!

[Both chuckling]

Oh my God!

- We've been robbed.

[Scoffing]

- Ugh!

- What?

- My grandmother's jewellery.

- Oh!

- Stay back!

Give me your wallet! - Just calm down, all right?

- And your purse!

Hand it over!

That ring too. - It's my engagement ring.

- Either you give it to me or I take it from you!

- Just give it to him, Jess.

- You follow me, I start shooting!

- Oh my God!

- It's OK, it's OK, it's OK.

- Oh my God!

- It's just stuff, all right?

At this point, we've done everything we can do.

- Evan?

- Hey, Tyler! Thanks for coming, man.

I know it's not your precinct.

- Of course. You guys OK?

- Yeah, more or less.

- Just a little shaken up.

- Yeah, for sure.

Did you give your statement to the officer?

- Yeah, and he just left.

- Did either of you get a look at this guy?

- [Evan]: It was just some random lowlife.

- Yeah, there's a lot of those in this neighbourhood.

- We're going to the station in the morning to do a sketch.

- OK. Do you wanna show me where he came in?

- Yeah. Yeah, follow me.

- What are the odds of actually catching this guy

and getting my engagement ring back?

- It's--it's hard to say.

- Tyler.

[Car honking in distance]

- I wouldn't get your hopes up, Jess.

Do you wanna...

- Yeah, let's go.

[Dishes clinking]

[Sighing]

[Cupboard doors opening and closing]

Jess?

What are you doing?

[Car tires screeching in distance]

- Moving.

[Sighing]

- [Half Moon Run]: ♪♪ Her face, when you've been looking for a while♪

♪ Left not a trace that we're underneath the weather♪

♪ And I tried to let go♪

♪ And she slipped away like a little girl♪

[Children shouting, indistinct]

All right, I got this one. I got this one.

I got this-- Don't have it! Don't have it!

- Oh! Whoa! - Don't have it! Don't have it!

[Both chuckling]

God!

- You good?

- Yeah!

- OK. - I got this.

- Hey, babe! Cheese!

- No!

- Come on, smile!

- Look at my hair! I look--

- You look great.

- Yay!

OK! OK! - OK.

- We're done! - We're done!

[Sighing]

Well, we did it.

- Yes, we did.

[Birds chirping]

- I just hope we can afford it.

- We'll be fine.

I'll take on some more clients.

- That'll definitely help.

- Think how much money we'll save

by not getting our stuff stolen.

Picture?

- You bet!

All right.

[Camera clicking]

- [Jessica]: What are we gonna do with all this space?

- Maybe we should go from room to room

and get to know it a little bit better.

- Mm-hmm.

[Giggling]

Since when did you become so interested

in interior decorating?

- I'm not.

- Mm-hmm.

- I'm seducing you.

- Oh!

Shhh! Shhh, shhh, shhh!

Do you hear that?

- I don't hear anything.

- [Whispering]: Exactly!

[Both chuckling]

Isn't it great?

- It's actually a little eerie.

[Growling]

[Doorbell ringing]

Who is that?

[Sighing]

[Sniffing]

- I don't know!

[Doorbell ringing]

Hi!

- Hi!

- My name is Simon.

I live next door,

and I wanted to introduce myself

and offer a little welcome to the neighbourhood.

- Wow! Thank you very much!

Oh, my name's Evan,

and this is my fiancée, Jessica.

- Hi!

I-- Oh!

- Charmed!

[Giggling]

- Oh, you look like you're coming from someplace fancy!

- No, uh, work. I lecture at the university.

- Cool! What do you teach?

- Men's Studies.

[Laughing]

- I'm so-- Uh, I'm sorry.

I thought you were kidding.

- Technically, it's referred to as "Men and Masculinity."

- I didn't think there was that much to know on the subject.

[Jessica and Evan chuckling]

- Jess is just kidding.

[Chuckling]

- You got a real little firecracker on your hands, Evan!

- Yeah, you could say that!

- You know what? I'm sorry.

That was really rude of me,

and you are really kind to bring this over to us.

Thank you so much. We really appreciate it.

Would you, uh...

Do you want to come in and have some of this with us?

It'll take me a minute to find the wine glasses.

- I would love to, but I have some papers to grade,

and I imagine you have some settling in to do.

- When the kitchen is ready,

we'll have to have you over for dinner.

- Definitely!

- I look forward to that. - [Evan]: Great.

- Good evening! - Night!

Way to make a first impression, Jess!

- Aw, come on! It was a joke!

[Blowing]

Wow! This is a really nice bottle.

- Well, he's obviously a classy guy.

- Oh!- Just like me.

[Lawnmower humming in distance]

[Birds chirping]

OK, guess this is it! My first morning commute.

[Sighing]

- Thank you.

- For what?

- All of this.

I know moving wasn't your first choice.

- It'll grow on me.

I gotta go. I don't know how late I'm gonna be with traffic.

You sure you're gonna be OK without a car?

- Yeah, I'm just gonna stay in and work anyway.

I may even have dinner ready for you when you get home.

- Wow! It's growing on me already.

- I love you!

- I love you.

[♪ Humming ]

[Computer ringing]

- Hey, Oscar!

- Hey, J! How's life in the burbs?

- Great!

- Good for you, man!

I don't think I could survive if I wasn't walking distance

to a coffee place or a pizza shop.

- Yeah, I get it. Thanks. - So, listen.

I've got something interesting on the Sierra Marshall case

I wanna run by you real quick.

- No, no. I really have to be focusing on work.

- All right, but you're missing out!

It's kind of juicy!

[Sighing]

- OK!

A short break won't hurt, right? What have you got?

- All right, so, you remember how the original suspect

was the brother-in-law, right?

- He had an alibi, right?

- That's what the press reported,

but guess who got hold of the police report?

Mr. Goody Two-Shoes's story has holes in it.

- Oh yeah? - Mm-hmm!

- Ah!

Yeah, I know what you're saying,

but who would he know that had access to a forensics lab?

- Who said he needed to know anybody?

[Sighing]

[Car security system beeping]

[Sighing]

Jess! Is this thing on? I'm over here!

- We've been talking about this all day! I gotta go!

- All right, I'll catch you later.

- OK.

[Sighing]

Hey!

Hey, honey, how--how was it?

- Uh, it was brutal!

It, um, it was pretty much bumper to bumper the entire way.

- I'm sorry!

- I hope dinner's not too cold. I'm starving.

- It's--it's not, because I haven't started it yet.

- Oh. - I'm sorry!

I just got caught up with what I was doing.

- No, that's OK.

I'm happy you had a productive day.

I'll go whip up a stir-fry or something.

Did you finish your project? - Not exactly.

- Please don't tell me you wasted an entire work day

on one of those missing-persons cases.

- No, I started on my project,

but then Oscar and I might have made a breakthrough.

- Oscar?- Yeah!

- I don't wanna start something,

but I don't think it's fair

that you're chatting online with some guy all day

while I'm out covering the house payments.

I realize my name's the only one on the mortgage,

but you promised we'd be in this together.

- You're right. You're right.

And we are.

It's just the-- it's just the first day.

- OK, OK.

- Please, Evan!

- Give me a half hour.

[Sighing]

[Clicking tongue]

[Car door closing, engine starting]

- Simon!

- Oh, hello!

- Hey! I just wanted to say thanks again for the wine.

We really enjoyed it.

- I'm glad to hear that!

- Do you have a cellar?

- Well, how did you know that?

- Oh, dust on the bottle. I just kind of figured.

- Hmm! You're very perceptive.

- Ah!

Listen, I hope I didn't offend you

with my man-studies joke.

- No! No, I've heard them all before.

- OK. Um, well, I also was wondering

if you were free to join us for dinner Thursday.

- I'd love to.

- Great! 7:30?

- Perfect! I'll see if I can dig up something else

out of my cellar.

- Perfect!

All right, well, I will see you then!

- OK! - OK! Bye!

- Oh! I have to say this is-- this is amazing wine, Simon.

- Well, I'm really glad that you like it.

- I just-- I feel kind of guilty pairing it with barbecue.

- No, no, no, no!

Now is the perfect time to enjoy this one.

In fact, I fear had I left it in my cellar one day longer,

it may have spoiled.

- Hmm!

- Besides, I think you're selling yourself short,

because this looks to me like some gourmet grilling.

- Evan does most of the cooking around here.

- Yeah, it's nothing special. Just simple stuff, really.

[Fading out]: Things like stir-fries or pasta,

anything that doesn't take a ton of prep or...

- Really?

Ah!

So you don't cook?

- I can reheat with the best of them.

- She makes a mean rhubarb pie.

- I haven't made one in a while.

- Tell me about it!

Well, you used to make them for me when I did something good.

Now, I don't think I've been pie-worthy for quite some time.

- That isn't true.

- Well, I'm, uh, impressed.

And I don't know how I would survive without TV dinners.

- They still make those?

- They're a bit of a relic of a bygone era, I guess,

but then again, so am I.

I come from a very traditional house.

And my father provided, and my mother would cook,

And she would threaten to stab anyone

who would set foot in her kitchen

with a butcher knife!

- The good old days!

- You must get lonely in that house all by yourself.

- Yes. I wasn't always.

- Oh.

- I used to live in it with my fiancée,

but I suppose the white picket fence wasn't for her.

- I'm sorry.

- It's OK!

I'm sure she's very happy

with the guy that she was cheating on me with,

so cheers!

- Well, I--I can't even look at another woman

without Jess sensing it.

- Ah! The possessive type, huh?

- I think the word you're looking for is "intuitive."

- Well, she's that too.

Did she tell you that she's not only a graphic designer,

but also a part-time crime fighter?

- No, she didn't!

- It's just a hobby.

I'm part of an online group that works

to dig up information on old cases.

- I think I've heard of this.

This is a sort of crowdsourced crime-fighting.

- It's a lot of work that usually leads nowhere.

But you are drawn to what you're drawn to, I guess.

- Absolutely.

- She also wants to write a book.

- Wants to? What's stopping you?

- I haven't found the right story, I guess.

- Well, maybe your new life will help you discover it.

- Maybe!- Yeah!

- Are you sure he's not seeing anyone?

- That's what he told me.

- That's weird.

I could've sworn I smelled perfume on him.

- Well, maybe it's just some fancy cologne.

- Hmm... maybe.

- You know, you should set one of your girlfriends up with him.

- Oh, I don't know.

I'm afraid they'd all be too possessive like me.

[Clicking tongue]

- [Chuckling]: Oh! Come on!

When we first started dating, you went into my closet,

and you put a bunch of lipstick on all my shirt collars.

- Oh! Now, why would I do that?

- Oh, I don't know,

maybe to show all the women that I was already taken.

- Oh!

[Sighing]

[Car door closing]

Simon!

Hey!

- Oh! Hi!

- Hi! I'm, uh, trying to do some gardening,

but this worked for my window planters,

but do you have anything with a little more heft?

- The handle on mine broke,

and I haven't gotten around to replacing it.

- OK. Uh, I'll just wait for Evan to get back to the car.

Are you making dinner for someone?

- No. Why do you ask that?

- I-- That's just a lot of food for a single guy.

[Jessica chuckling]

- I hate shopping.

[Both chuckling]

So I tend to buy as much as I can at once.

- OK!

- OK! - OK!

- Well, have a lovely rest of your day.

- You too!

He said he never cooks.

- Maybe he was inspired by my culinary skills.

- I'm serious. He--he was being weird.

- Look, we don't really know him.

- Evan, he was hiding something from me.

- What if he's having an affair with one of his students

and he wants to keep it quiet?

- Whatever it is, something is off about him.

I can feel it.

- You need to stop doing this.

- Stop doing what?

- Turning nothing into one of your whodunits.

- That's nice!

- I'm serious! Look, we have to live here.

Unlike everything else in this neighbourhood,

Simon's not boring,

so maybe you can come up with

a conspiracy about someone else.

- Maybe you could not talk to me like I'm crazy!

- Jess, we live in a house that we can't afford

that I pay for working a job that I hate, by the way,

so you could feel safe!

I think you can't feel safe anywhere!

- Who said anything about not feeling safe?

- Isn't that where this is going?

- It sounds like it's going to a place

where you blame me for a decision we made together.

[Doorbell ringing]

- Look! Speak of the devil.

- Hey!- Hi!

I hope it's not too late.

I saw the light was on.

- No, not at all!

- I'm sorry, Jessica.

I forgot that I had bought another shovel

after the other one broke.

That's if you still need it.

- Thank you.

- Hey, do you wanna--you wanna come in for a drink?

- Uh, no, I--I have an early class in the morning.

- OK, well, next time, then.

- Absolutely!

Good night.

- Good night.

You know, there is something off about him.

He's nice.

[Shovel clanging]

[Birds chirping]

[Sighing]

[Scoffing]

[Train whistle blowing]

[Doorbell ringing]

- Simon!

It's Jessica. Are you home?

Don't look at me that way. You haven't met this guy.

He's weird! - You're paranoid!

- He dresses weird. He talks weird.

He literally wears his personality on his sleeve,

but he has the most boring furniture.

It's like he doesn't even live there.

And he keeps the drapes drawn as if he's hiding something.

- I don't know, Jess.

I know you get those million-dollar hunches,

but, honestly, this doesn't sound like a whole lot to go on.

- But it all seems a little off, though, right? Right?

- Yeah, but if being a little off was a crime,

we'd be having this conversation in jail right now.

- You're starting to sound like Evan.

- Uh-oh! Trouble in paradise?

- Oh, he's just stressed about the mortgage,

and he thinks I should be spending more time working,

which he's right about.

- All right, look,

I can see this is stressing you out.

Do you want me to check into this guy?

- No. No, it's fine.

- All right. Call me if anything else comes up, all right?

- I will.

- All right. Chin up!

- Night!

[Computer beeping]

[Computer beeping]

[Doorbell ringing]

Simon! It's Jessica. Are you home?

[Telephone ringing]

Hello!

- How are you? Jessica!

- Simon!

- Are you busy?

- No, just trying to slog through this design project.

- I found something that I think you're going to like.

Um, would you like to take a break and pop over?

- Uh, sure!

- Great. See you soon.

- Bye!

- Hi!

- Hi!

I like your place!

- That's right. You haven't actually been inside before.

- Nope!

- Well, if you come to the kitchen,

here's where your surprise is.

OK!

This reminded me of the one you were wearing the other night,

so I had to buy it for you.

- I can't accept that.

[Sighing]

- You don't like your present.

- I do!

- No, it's OK. I just have one other thing to show you.

- I really should be going.

- It's OK. You can stay.

This won't take...

[Keyboard clicking]

...30 seconds.

[Doorbell ringing]

- Simon! It's Jessica! Are you home?

[Breathing shallowly]

So, when I saw you looking into my house like this,

I realized that you wanted to be here with me...

and that it wasn't me choosing you.

In fact, it was you choosing me.

[Jess screaming, Simon grunting]

[Whimpering]

[Grunting]

[Whimpering]

- Hi, Jessica.

- Who are you?

- My name is Robin.

- Where am I?

- Home.

- What's the code?

- Only Simon knows the code.

What are you doing?

[Light buzzing]

- What is this place?

- It's OK.

You're safe down here.

- What do you mean down here?

Is this Simon's basement?

- Yes.

- HELP!

- No one can hear you. - SOMEBODY HELP ME!

[Screaming]

- Please stop! It just makes him more angry!

- Shut up! Shut up!

HELP! SOMEBODY HELP ME!

- Please stop!

[Sobbing]

Please! Please!

[Watch ticking]

[Car security system beeping]

- Jess? Jess!

Hey, hon?

I'm home!

- There has to be a way out of here.

- Oh, please!

[Whispering]: You have to stop this!

[Lock beeping, clicking]

- You're gonna have to clean all this up.

- HELP!

[Silence]

HELP ME!

SOMEBODY HELP ME!

- No one can hear you.

[Panting]

Just come back, Jessica.

It's gonna be a whole lot easier that way.

- HELP ME!

SOMEBODY HELP ME!

[Screaming]

[Glass clinking]

- I do realize this is going to take some adjusting.

It's going to be much easier

if you just accept

that this is where you're meant to be.

- What do you want from me?

- I just want us to be happy.

Oh yeah!

You can try and kill me if you like,

but you will die down here with me,

buried like an Egyptian slave with her pharaoh.

Oh, and if you try and don't succeed,

that would be a whole lot worse.

Isn't that right, Robin?

- Why do you have my suitcase?

- You packed it

when you walked out on Evan.

[Breathing shallowly]

- Hey! Where are you?

Listen, I'm gonna apologize to your face again,

but I'll just say sorry to your voicemail for now.

I was an ass yesterday,

so I came home early to make it up to you.

Anyway, I'll, uh, I'll see you soon.

[♪ Cell phone chiming ]

[♪ Cell phone chiming ]

[Children shouting in distance]

- How'd you get here?

- The same as you. Simon chose me.

- He chose you.

From where?

- He was one of my professors.

Simon said he knew...

that we were meant to be together

from the first moment that we met.

- How long have you been here?

- I don't know.

A few years.

- Years?

We have to get out of here.

- No, we don't.

This is where we're meant to be.

- You're telling me you never tried to leave?

- When I first got here and I was still...

confused.

But the codes are always changed,

and if you try to leave, bad things happen.

- What did he do to you?

- He just made me understand how much he loves me.

[Beeping]

[Lock clicking]

- [Simon]: Hello!

- Hello, Simon!

Here's a drink for you, darling.

- So, I brought you some new clothes...

I really wanna see you wear.

- Did you bring me anything?

- No, not this time, darling.

I was focusing on making Jessica feel welcome.

You understand, right?

- Of course.

- And I got you something else

that I think you're really going to enjoy.

Huh?

- What am I supposed to do with that?

- Write your book!

I wanna support your creative ambitions,

and this is a place where you can commit to them fully

without having to worry about any of the things

that women shouldn't have to worry about,

like paying a mortgage,

- If you think you can hold someone captive

but make them happy by buying them an old typewriter,

you're crazy.

- What's crazy is the world out there.

It's full of lost and weak men and overburdened woman,

and this is our place where we're righting those wrongs.

- By keeping us prisoner?

- You've never been more free than you are now.

You just don't know it yet.

Isn't that right, Robin? - Yes!

- I don't know what you did to her,

but that'll never be me.

[Bell dinging]

- Oh! Well, dinner's ready!

- Dinner's ready.

Mm-hmm!

All right, then!

Jessica, why don't you--

No, Jessica there, you there.

Why don't you come join us?

Well...

As this is your first night,

I'm gonna allow you some leeway.

But in the future,

when I ask you to do something,

I suggest you do it.

[Doorbell ringing]

- Evan!

EVAN!

- YOU SHOULD BE THANKFUL THAT THIS ROOM'S SOUNDPROOF,

'CAUSE IF IT WEREN'T...

EVAN!

...and he heard you,

then I'd have to kill him.

[Whimpering]

[Doorbell ringing]

[Lock beeping, clicking]

[Locking clicking, beeping]

[Doorbell ringing]

- Evan, hi!

- Hey, Simon! Um, sorry to bother you.

I'm looking for Jess.

Have you seen her, by any chance?

- No. No. Is everything OK?

- Yeah, it's just she's not around

and she doesn't have her phone with her.

- Huh! I spoke to her earlier this afternoon.

- Oh, so you saw her?

- No, no. We just chatted on the phone.

I mentioned I was going to pick up some groceries

and asked if she wanted me to get her anything,

seeing as how you're without a 2nd car.

- What did she say?

- She said she didn't need anything.

To be honest, um, she seemed a bit upset.

[Evan sighing]

- Do you know what time that was?

- Uh, about half past 2:00.

- It's just weird. She doesn't go anywhere without her phone.

- Maybe she went out exploring the neighbourhood.

- Yeah, maybe.

Um, well, sorry to bother you.

- Yeah!

- That part of your life doesn't exist anymore.

It'll be best for everyone if you put it out of your mind.

- [Evan]: Nah, I'm sure it's fine.

I'll have her call you as soon as she gets in.

All right.

[Sighing]

- [Tyler]: So, she packed some clothes?

- Yeah, but she--she left stuff

like her phone and her toothbrush.

- Well, maybe that means she doesn't plan

to be away for long.

- Yeah, but where did she go?

I mean, it just doesn't make sense.

- How's everything going between you two?

- It's going fine.

Some tension with the move.

- Tension in what way?

- We had a blowup yesterday

over, you know, money and work.

That kind of thing.

- So it was bad?

- Bad enough that I slept on the couch.

- And you were still fighting this morning?

- I left without speaking with her.

But it's not like Jess to just run away like that.

- What about the time in Puerto Vallarta?

- That was different. - How?

- It was before we were engaged,

and I screwed up.

- Did you screw up again, Evan?

- No, I didn't.

- Do you think she might have somebody else?

[Sighing]

- No, there's no one I can think of.

[Sighing]

- What about those wannabe detectives

she chats with online?

- Yeah! She does spend a lot of time talking to those guys.

Especially, there's this one guy named Oscar.

- Is that Simon?

- It was my fault.

- That isn't true.

- It is.

Simon told me not to try to escape,

and I didn't listen.

[Sighing]

[Whispering]:It's OK.

We have each other now.

- Oscar Garrett?

- Yeah?

- Sorry to bother you so early.

I'm Officer Haynes with the NYPD.

This is Evan Crowder.

- Jessica's boyfriend?

- Fiancé. You know where she is?

- No. Has something happened to her?

- She hasn't been heard from since yesterday afternoon.

- I thought you had to be missing 24 hours

before the police got involved.

[Chuckling]

- I'm here as a friend.

Can we come inside?

[Sighing]

- So, uh, what did you two talk about?

- I mean, a bunch of things.

- Like?

- Mainly this new case I've been working on.

- Did she say anything

that might indicate she'd be going away?

- If anything, it was the opposite.

She was complaining about not being able to go anywhere

because of the car situation.

She also...

- Oscar, we just wanna find out what happened to her,

make sure she's OK.

- She said there was some tension at home

because of money and stuff.

- Did she confide in you about anything else?

Is there--is there somebody we should talk to?

- She was a little suspicious about your new neighbour, Simon.

- What do you mean by "suspicious"?

- She just had a bad feeling about him.

- She thought he was lying

about having a woman at his place.

- That's it? - You know Jess!

[Sighing]

- This is my number in case you think of anything else

or if Jessica tries to get in touch with you.

- Cool! I'll dig up what I can on Simon and keep you posted.

- Thanks, but I'll handle the police work.

- Yeah, OK.

- Gentlemen! Good morning.

- Hey! This is Tyler.

He's a friend, and he's also a cop.

He's helping me try to find Jess.

- She didn't come back home last night?

- No.

- Could I ask you a couple of questions?

- Of course!

- You spoke to Jessica

an hour before she went missing?

- That's right.

Like I told Evan, I called and asked her

if she wanted anything from the grocery mart.

She said she was fine, seemed a little upset,

and that was about it.

- Do you live here with anyone else?

- No.

- Are you seeing anybody, a girlfriend?

- Why?

- Uh, Jessica expressed concern that you'd lied to her

about having someone else in the house.

- She, uh, she was suspicious,

something about extra groceries.

I'm--I'm sorry, Simon.

- No!

She's right. I did lie about the groceries.

I was having someone in that night,

and I wanted to be discreet.

- Why?

- She was one of my grad students.

[Sighing]

But I like Jessica,

and--and I didn't want her to think badly of me.

- I'm--I'm sorry, Simon.

- No, no, no.

If I were you, I would be very worried.

I just hope that you find her.

- Thanks a lot.

- If we work together, we can find a way to escape.

- Please don't talk about that.

- Can he hear us?

[Breathing unevenly]

- I don't know.

- [Speaking softly]: Robin, this isn't your home.

- You don't understand.

- Robin, you're a prisoner, and we need to get out of here.

- You don't understand.

- I do.

I understand just fine.

You need to listen to me.

I think if we can have a plan, we can get out.

- No. - Yes.

- No. - Yes.

- No!

No, no! This is where I'm meant to be!

This is where we're both meant to be.

- OK, OK, OK.

[Lock beeping, clicking]

[Gasping]

- I need you to write down

your email address and your password.

[Scoffing]

[Taps table]

- No.

- I'm not gonna repeat myself again.

Write down your email address and your password, please.

Want me to tell you what happens if they're wrong?

- It's right.

- Now, I'm gonna be back tonight,

and when I am,

why don't you be wearing one of those dresses I bought you?

[Door slamming]

[♪ Cell phone chiming ]

- [Jessica]: Dear, Evan. I'm sorry.

I thought moving would fix things,

but instead, it just revealed the bigger problem between us.

I don't need any money.

I've met someone who understands me and is taking care of me.

I just want to move on.

I'm sorry this is abrupt,

but I hope in time you'll agree

that this was the most humane way for me to end things.

I don't expect you to understand,

but this is what I want.

Please don't try to get in touch. Jessica.

- Six years!

No discussion? Just gone?

It doesn't make any sense!

- Do you think she could've gotten mixed up

with drugs or gambling?

- No! No, man!

[Sighing]

Yeah, but then again,

I had no idea she started seeing someone else.

"I've met someone who understands me."

What does that even mean?

[Sighing]

- Did you email her back?

- Yeah, a couple times. Still no response.

- OK.

I hate to tell you this,

but you need to take out whatever cash you have

in any joint accounts.

- All the cash I have went into this house.

How could she do this to me?

[♪ Rhythm and blues ]

- [Simon]: OK, show us the next one!

Oh, come on! Don't be shy!

[Simon clapping]

Whoo!

Oh!

Turn around.

Yeah.

Oh, I think that's the one. What do you think?

- Definitely, yes!

- This is like your glass slipper.

- Mm-hmm!

- Do you like it?

I asked you a question!

- What do you want me to say?

- I want you to be honest.

- OK.

I wanna go home.

- Unfortunately, there's nowhere else for you to go anymore.

- What are you talking about?

- Evan received your email,

and he acknowledged his limitations

as a romantic partner,

and he accepts that this is the best thing for you from now on.

- You're insane!

- [Man on record]: ♪♪ Still I have to say♪

♪ That I'm the only one for you...♪

[Wrist cracking, Jessica screaming]

- Don't you ever talk to me like that.

[Jessica sobbing]

Oh, this is definitely the dress.

What do you think? - Mm-hmm!

- You know, what might be nice

is if you ask Robin

to help you with your hair and your makeup.

Do you mind?

- No, no. Not at all. - Great!

And maybe Robin could use a break.

Why don't you cook tomorrow night?

[Breathing heavily]

[Groaning]

- He doesn't mean to hurt you.

- How can you defend him?

- Simon loves me!

- Well, that smells lovely!

What are we having?

- Roast!

- Hmm!

You look very nice, Jessica.

When someone gives you a compliment,

it's polite to respond.

- Thank you.

- And I have a little surprise for you too!

I got you some of the stories I know you like.

Maybe it will help stimulate your writing.

- That was nice of you to think of me. - Of course!

- How's the drink, darling?

- It's fine.

Jessica, it looks like you went all out.

- I'm not sure how it'll taste.

- Well, I appreciate the effort.

You made it. Why don't you carve it?

Well, would you look at that!

- Oh! No!

[Grunting]

Stop! Oh!

[Grunting]

- I'll give you a choice.

You let me go, and I give you my word--

- How about I give you a choice?

You give me the code to the door,

or I'll torture it out of you.

- I'll die before I tell you,

but you'll die down here with me, both of you.

- Tell me! - No!

- What is it?

- Please don't hurt him!

- Shut up! Tell me now.

- The reason I'd rather die

is because I don't wanna live in a world without you.

That's how committed I am! I love you!

- Then I'm gonna give you a choice!

Do you want me to cut out your left or your right eye first?

Hmm?

Last chance.

- NO!

- Robin! Stop!

- You need to accept it. This is your fate.

- How are you feeling?

- Leave me alone.

- Sorry if you feel like I betrayed you,

but you were going to destroy our home.

[Scoffing]

- Stop calling this a home!

- You would've ended up like Megan if I hadn't stopped you!

- Who's Megan?

- The girl who was here before me.

She couldn't find love in her heart for Simon,

and she kept trying to run away.

- Did he kill her?

Robin, did he kill her?

- No!

I did.

It was my punishment.

I didn't try hard enough to stop her.

I can't go through that again.

[Door slamming]

- Evan!

- Hey!

- Hey!

- What happened to your head?

[Sighing]

- I took a spill on my bike.

- Well, it looks like you hit a brick wall.

- I hit the asphalt. I'm OK, though.

Any update on Jessica?

- Nothing.

[Sighing]

- And how are you holding up?

- Not good.

- You know, why don't you come over for a drink tonight?

The ball game's on...

- Oh, I don't know.

- I insist!

It would probably do you some good

to get your mind off things.

- Yeah, sure.

Why not?

- [Man on TV]: Up to bat is Shawn Martinez...

- [Evan]: Thanks for this.

I've basically been pacing around that empty house,

making myself sick.

- When my fiancée and I broke up,

we dragged it out.

It was so long, so painful.

- There's no use. He won't be able to hear you.

- I have to at least try something.

- Don't you get it? This is just another test!

All it's going to do is make Simon have to hurt you again!

- I almost think it would've been more humane

if she just left like that.

- Hmm!

Nothing about this feels humane.

I don't know whether or not to feel angry at her

for running away

or like a fool for not seeing it coming.

- Well, angry feels better.

[Chuckling]

[Chuckling]

- Hey, you got that right!

Mind if I get another?

- Please help yourself.

- No, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no!

[Whispering]: No, no!

[Whimpering]

- The best thing you can do for both of you

is to just forget him.

- No!

[Growling]

[Sighing]

- So, here's the deal.

If you try to escape again, I'm not gonna kill you.

I'm gonna kill Evan.

Maybe you don't value your own life anymore,

but I trust that you still value his.

So, are you gonna be a good girl from now on?

- Mm-hmm.

- Let me hear you say it.

- I'll be good.

- That's what I like to hear.

Now come show me.

- Hey, Evan!

- Hey!

- Wow!

Heading back to the city, huh?

- Yeah, it's been a couple months since Jess took off.

Figure it's time to get on with my life.

- Can't say I blame ya!

- Besides, I can't afford this place on my own.

- When do you leave?

- As soon as this place sells.

[♪ Classical music on record ]

- Can I have a wooden spoon?

Is something wrong?

- Do you really care?

- Of course. That's why I asked.

- Last night was supposed to be my night.

- What?

- With Simon.

You've been with him 3 nights in a row.

You act all innocent,

but I see how you flirt with him,

playing hard to get.

- You don't know what you're talking about.

- Really?- Yeah.

- What I do know is things were a lot better

before you showed up.

- I didn't have a say in that then, and I still don't now.

[Door opening]

- Hello, Simon!

- Hello! Ah!

- Jessica?

Hmm!

- How was your day?

Did you get all your papers graded?

- Almost. A poorly written essay can be a real slog.

- I can help you with that sometime, if you'd like.

I do have my English degree.

- Hmm! I'd appreciate that.

- Here's a drink for you, darling!

[Grunting]

[Sighing]

- Go ahead.

- You sure?

- Please!

Excellent, Jessica.

Don't you wanna read something?

- I think I'll just go to sleep.

- Hmm!

Is something wrong?

- It's Jessica.

- Go on.

- She told me today that she still loves Evan.

- It takes longer for some people to move on.

- Not only that.

She told me that she's just pretending

that she wants to be here

and she plans on trying to escape again.

- How do you know this?

- She asked me to help her.

- I see.

- I know this hurts you to hear...

but she just doesn't love you like I do.

- Thank you for telling me.

- What are you gonna do about it?

- I'm going to address it!

Jessica, wake up!

Jessica, wake up!

Get out here now!

- Is everything OK?

- No, no.

Everything is not OK. Go!

Robin told me that you confessed

that you were still in love with your ex.

- What? - And she said you were gonna plan another escape.

- No, but why would you say that?

- Because it's the truth! - Simon...

- She's lying!

- I'm disappointed.

And frankly, I'm a little bit surprised,

because lying is the one thing that I cannot abide!

Lying is a cancer for families,

and cancers need to be cut out.

[Gasping]

[Choking]

[Whimpering]

Oh!

- Why?

- She had lies in her heart.

- How did you know?

- I'm the head of the household. It's my job to know everything.

I feel like something's changed with us,

like you're starting to see things the way I see them,

and I couldn't take the chance that she was gonna hurt you!

You understand, of course, that I did this for you?

- I do.

- So, could you put on some music?

And then go in your bedroom,

and make sure the music's very loud.

- Haynes.

- Hi! I don't know if you remember me.

My name is Oscar Garrett.

You spoke to a while ago about Jessica Crowder.

- Right. What can I do for ya?

- I'm assuming there hasn't been any contact with her.

- No, nothing.

- Well, I might have found something.

- Sure!

- You remember I told you Jessica was suspicious

of her neighbour, Simon?

- I already spoke with him.

- I reached out to my network to do some digging.

We started off crosschecking lists of missing women

against students at schools where he taught.

There's been at least one at every school.

- I'm, uh, I'm sure you could say that

about a lot of teachers.

- Uh-huh. But how many of those teachers lost their last job

for having inappropriate contact

with one of those same missing students?

- Do you have proof?

- HR records at a college he taught at in Connecticut

show that he was disciplined but allowed to resign.

- Was he a suspect in her disappearance?

- The Hartford police questioned him,

but they had nothing concrete, so they had to let him go.

- How did you get access to this?

- Don't worry about that.

- I don't know if this is admissible

or enough to get a warrant,

but at least--

- Don't worry about that.

- All right, I'll send you everything I got.

You should get it now.

- Thank you.

- Good luck.

- I'll be right back.

- Would you leave it on? I'd like to watch you.

[Doorbell ringing]

[Lock beeping, clicking]

- Oh! Hello!

- Hi, sorry to bother you so late,

but I have a few more questions about Jessica.

- I don't know what I can tell you that I haven't already.

- Do you mind if we talk inside?

- Please!

- You've got a lot of space for somebody who lives on their own.

- Well, I appreciate the room

after so many years of living in cramped apartments.

- Do you mind if I look around?

- Be my guest.

Evan's lucky to have a friend like you on the police force

who's willing to go above and beyond to help him out.

- I just wanna find out exactly what happened to Jessica.

- It was my understanding that she chased off

with some other fellow.

- That's a theory.

- Well, then I'm not exactly sure

what that has to do with me.

- Well, like you said, just going above and beyond.

Are you still seeing the same girl?

Your student?

- No, no, no. We broke that off.

I thought it would be smart to end it

before anybody found us out.

- Unlike, say, what happened at Hartford.

- I assume that you're referring to Robin Simmons.

- You didn't think it was worth mentioning

that you'd been questioned in a woman's disappearance before?

- When you stopped by,

Jessica had been missing for less than a day.

I didn't see the point

in dredging up an embarrassing chapter of my own history

over what I assumed was nothing.

- Tell me what happened in Hartford.

- I was just one of her professors.

- Just one of her professors who was sleeping with her.

- I was cleared of any wrongdoing.

So, did they ever find Robin?

- No.

- Well, that's tragic.

- Yes, it is.

Oh, you've got quite the collection!

- Thank you! Yes, I do like to collect fine things.

Please don't touch those bottles.

They're very rare.

I'm sorry to rush you, officer,

but I have an early class in the morning,

so unless you have any further questions...

- Yeah, do you know a woman named Megan Carswell?

- Who?

- She used to be a student of yours a few years ago.

Now, I don't if you slept with her, too,

but I do know she went missing.

- That name doesn't ring a bell.

- And why does that not surprise me?

You know, the thing with guys like you

is that you think you're--

[Simon grunting, bottle shattering]

[Birds chirping]

[Lock beeping, clicking]

[Lock clicking, beeping]

- I'm sorry.

- Did you kill him?

[Sighing]

It's OK.

It's OK. You did what you had to do.

- Do you really believe that?

- I do.

- But he came here looking for you.

- I don't wanna be found. I wanna stay here with you.

- You aren't just saying that?

- Nobody would ever do for me what you did,

not even Evan.

I know that now.

- I wanna believe you, but I don't know if I can.

- What can I do to show you?

- I'm not sure.

[Lock clicking, beeping]

- Your house sold quickly.

- I'm pretty much giving the keys back to the bank, anyway.

Movers are coming tomorrow.

- Hmm!

You must be keen to put all of this behind you.

Oh, hey! Did they find anything out about your friend's murder?

- No, nothing at all.

They said it could've been a robbery,

but they don't know for sure.

- Yeah.

You've had a tough couple months.

I'll be sorry to see you go.

But getting some distance

will probably be the best thing for you.

[Children shouting in distance]

- I hope so.

Thanks for everything, Simon.

[Lock beeping, clicking]

- Will you come with me, please?

- Where are we going?

- There's something I want to show you.

- Shhh!

Keep going.

[Whispering]: Keep going.

Stop.

[Gun clicking]

I want you to come stand right here.

- Hmm!

- Evan sold his house, and he's moving back to the city.

How does that make you feel?

- I feel bad for him.

He must be sad.

- He was confused,

but he'll eventually move on.

- I just wish there was something we could do for him,

a gesture.

- I do still have a bottle of wine that he likes.

It's not much, but--

- It's perfect.

[Sighing]

- I'll bring it by tonight.

- Thank you.

- Well, I'll let you get back to your packing.

- Uh, thanks again for the wine. I really appreciate it.

- It's my pleasure!

Ah! And, uh...

stay in touch.

- You'll be the first to know.

I've been out of town, and I just heard about his murder.

- What about him?

- Thing is, I'd spoken to Officer Haynes

earlier that night.

- You did? What about?

- Your neighbour.

- I hope you're hungry.

- Oh, that smells delicious!

Um, would you mind grabbing me a fork?

- What are you doing here?

- I wanted to see you locked up.

- I appreciate you speaking

- You think I did that to help you?

I want you to spend the rest of your life

living like a prisoner.

- Is that why you're here,

to torture me?

- No.

Just an added bonus.

- Then why?

- I wanted you to know that you never broke me.

I only made you think you did so you'd let your guard down.

I don't care what you think about women.

I'm smarter than you.

Oh, that reminds me!

I brought you something.

You, uh, inspired me to write my book after all.

[Sighing]

And I hope you like it.

It has a happy ending...

for me, anyway.
