Transcript
00:00In New York, Paloma is showing a house for rent to a potential client.
00:03She uses flowery language to embellish the qualities of the building and
00:07indirectly flirts by showing off her legs and cleavage.
00:09At the end of the tour, she claims she has several people interested in this house,
00:13so the man agrees to take the deal and immediately transfers the money.
00:16He also invites her to dinner, and Paloma accepts.
00:18She explains that the previous owners will be picking up a few remaining things in the afternoon,
00:22so they can meet here tonight after they're gone.
00:24That night, the man arrives with a bottle of wine, ready for the date.
00:28However, another guy opens the door and reveals he lives there with no intention of selling or
00:32renting.
00:32He never heard of Paloma either.
00:34The client immediately calls her, but the number no longer exists.
00:37It turns out Paloma is a scammer.
00:39She shows houses and apartments that she doesn't own to rich people who don't ask many questions,
00:43gets the first payment, and then disappears.
00:45She uses a different phone number, name, wig, and even accent each time so she never gets caught.
00:51At a bar, Paloma meets with her girlfriend Smith and they get naughty against the wall
00:54to celebrate another successful scam.
00:56Later at home, they do it again in the pool.
00:59Smith says I love you but Paloma only replies same.
01:02When Smith calls her out, Paloma explains that only people who need to fill a void in their lives
01:06need those words and the two of them are above that.
01:08In the morning, Paloma checks her email and finds a message from Daisy Buchanan,
01:11which is a character from a famous novel.
01:13The IP address is the one police plaza, but Paloma thinks the cops would have hidden their IP
01:18and it's just someone fishing.
01:19Smith is scared and wants to leave since something similar happened to them in Baltimore,
01:22so Paloma reminds her that it had only been a blurry image on social media.
01:26It inspired a report on TV but nothing came out of it.
01:29Paloma replies to the email saying that the house they're looking for has already been taken,
01:32and hides her address using a VPN.
01:34Since Smith is still nervous, Paloma offers an idea for a game,
01:38they'll choose each other's targets and whoever closes the sale first chooses where they'll go next.
01:42Smith agrees to participate.
01:44Later the couple goes to the bookstore to check novels for inspiration for their next fake names.
01:48They also keep looking at ads for available houses that they can use.
01:51There's a house for rent that belongs to Robert,
01:53a neurosurgeon who is making great advances in his field.
01:56He's so good at his job that people from all over the world come to see him.
01:59The couple thinks he'll be a great target.
02:01At the hospital, Robert finishes an extremely hard surgery on a patient's brain.
02:05Afterward he has a chat with his boss Bradshaw, who thinks Robert does miracles.
02:09They discuss the matter of neurotransplantation, which Robert has achieved on animals.
02:13He wants to try on humans but hasn't gotten government approval yet.
02:15Bradshaw promises he'll fight for him.
02:18In the evening, Robert meets with Paloma, who pretends to be interested in renting his old house.
02:22Something peculiar about this place is that the servants' quarters were bricked up after
02:26it was discovered they were built over a cholera pit.
02:28Robert shares that he used to live here with his dead wife Rebecca,
02:31whose parents live a few houses down the street.
02:33When they shake hands to close the deal,
02:35Robert's wedding ring accidentally scratches Paloma's hand.
02:37He apologizes as he explains that the ring got mangled in the garbage disposal.
02:41Then he takes care of the wound and gives her the paperwork with everything she needs,
02:44like Wi-Fi password and alarm codes.
02:47In her new room, Paloma calls Smith to share her progress.
02:50She's already made a copy of the keys and disabled the cameras with the password Robert gave her,
02:54so now she only needs to find the potential clients.
02:57Paloma doesn't know that Robert is keeping an eye on the cameras and notices that she's turning them off.
03:01Sometime later Paloma invites a bunch of clients to see the house,
03:04but none of them are interested enough to close the deal.
03:06In the evening, a client named Tad arrives and Paloma thinks she's finally making progress.
03:10She invites him to the living room, where she forgot to turn off a security camera.
03:14Soon Robert gets an alert of multiple people there.
03:17Tad gets too handsy and Paloma turns him down as she steps away from him.
03:20He doesn't take no for an answer and steps closer to grab her by the hair,
03:24which causes her wig to come off.
03:25Paloma pushes him and tries to escape,
03:27but Tad grabs her by the neck and holds her against the wall to start touching her.
03:31After some struggle, Paloma manages to push him off again and falls to the floor.
03:35Tad grabs a knife and holds it against her neck as he tries to take advantage of her.
03:38All this is seen by Robert on the camera, so he immediately leaves his office.
03:42Meanwhile Paloma kicks the attacker and causes him to hit his head on the table.
03:45When she tries to run away, he grabs her leg and makes her fall again before slashing her neck.
03:50At the same time his wound is bleeding heavily, so he starts feeling dizzy.
03:54After he slashes Paloma again, Robert appears behind him and injects a sedative into his neck.
03:58Paloma tries to stand up, only to pass out as well.
04:01At the police station, Detectives Diane and Crace are studying the case of the mysterious
04:05woman who has been scamming people all over New York.
04:07They have no information on her except that she uses names from literary characters.
04:11Diane confirms she sent the email and asks Crace to search every recent listing
04:14on popular house sites with names from novels.
04:16When Paloma finally wakes up, she finds herself in a hospital room.
04:20Robert checks on her and explains that he had to give her 10 units of blood.
04:23Then he pulls out the business card he found in her pocket,
04:26which has her fake name and classifies her as a realtor.
04:28He now knows she's a scammer and proceeds to scold her,
04:31saying she should use her intelligence to help others.
04:33After sedating her again, he stitches the wound on her neck.
04:36That night Paloma wakes up and disconnects all the machines to escape,
04:39only to discover that the door is locked.
04:41When she checks the window, she finds a brick wall blocking it.
04:44She yells at the security camera and pounds on the door to no avail.
04:48Then she takes her hairpin and a needle to pick the lock,
04:50which finally allows her to leave the room.
04:52In the corridor, she realizes she isn't in the hospital,
04:55she's in the house's secret room.
04:56A door suddenly slams and Paloma is startled by a dog barking.
05:00Suddenly Lenny appears behind her and captures her.
05:02Meanwhile Smith finishes her sale and sends Paloma a message.
05:05At the same time Robert is removing the bloodstained carpet and finds Paloma's phone and keys.
05:09He decides to hide the carpet in Paloma's car.
05:12Sometime later a cop goes around the neighborhood with a picture of Tad,
05:15asking the neighbors if they've seen him.
05:17His wife reported him missing and his phone puts him in this area as his last location.
05:21Robert says he doesn't recognize him,
05:23but when the cop asks about any strange happenings in the area,
05:25Robert tells him about a car blocking a hydrant.
05:27He had it towed so he tells the officer the company he called.
05:30While Robert watches old videos of Rebecca,
05:32Paloma wakes up in a cell to discover she's been chained to the floor.
05:35She desperately yells for help to no avail.
05:38Soon Robert brings her food and medicine,
05:40so she yells at him and tries to attack but he just steps out of reach.
05:43Robert threatens to call the cops and Paloma actually wants him to do that,
05:46willing to admit her crimes if it gets Robert and Tad too.
05:48Robert leaves after telling her to eat,
05:50so Paloma throws the tray in fury before Lenny appears again.
05:53In the evening, Robert reveals he's used Paloma's DNA to find out more about her.
05:57He's got her full name and knows that her family died in a car accident three years ago.
06:01Meanwhile at the bar, Smith waits for Paloma and starts to worry about her absence.
06:05When Zack tries hitting on her, she sends him away.
06:08At that moment Robert replies to her text pretending to be Paloma.
06:11Smith happily sends her an I love you and Robert replies I love you too,
06:15causing Smith to get suspicious.
06:16She goes back to Zack and this time agrees to leave with him.
06:19Later Paloma needs to pee,
06:21so Lenny handcuffs her to himself and takes her to a toilet outside her cell,
06:24where she's forced to do it in front of him.
06:26Paloma notices a scar on his head and tries to chat with him,
06:28but he doesn't answer. When Lenny takes her back,
06:31Robert changes the handcuffs for the chain and Paloma tries to use the chance to attack,
06:35but Lenny immediately overpowers her.
06:36She asks about Lenny, so Robert shares that he used to be a nurse at his hospital.
06:40Six months ago a drunk driver hit him and Lenny was left in a vegetative state,
06:44but the driver only got a suspended license.
06:46If Robert hadn't operated on him,
06:48Lenny would have spent all his life in bed connected to a machine.
06:51However Paloma thinks that being an empty man isn't a life either.
06:54Robert leaves after turning off all the lights and Paloma starts playing with the drain cover
06:57until she manages to remove it.
06:59On the street, Smith arrives with Zack.
07:01She tells him that Robert is her best friend's abusive boyfriend and he's beaten them both up.
07:05Now she's afraid that her friend may have been locked up,
07:07so Zack grabs his gun and agrees to help.
07:09Robert opens the door when he hears knocking and Zack immediately pushes him to get inside.
07:13He searches every room and starts throwing things around, including a picture of Rebecca.
07:17When he insults her, Robert snaps and breaks a record so he can use a shard to slash Zack's neck,
07:22instantly killing him.
07:24Outside, Smith sees the lights being turned off and gets out of the car.
07:27Following the house blueprints, she walks to the back to look for a side entrance,
07:31unaware that there's a camera that immediately alerts Robert.
07:33While he grabs a knife, Smith finds a strange indent in the wall and tries to pull it open to
07:37no avail.
07:38Then she notices a keypad and remembers that Paloma told her the password,
07:42so she uses it to finally open the hidden door.
07:44With a gun in hand, she goes inside.
07:46Soon Robert follows her.
07:47When Smith enters the hidden area, she's startled by a dog in a cage,
07:51which starts barking at her.
07:52The noise alerts Lenny, who rushes to get his dart gun.
07:55In the cell, Paloma uses the drain cover to remove a screw from the chain,
07:59which allows her to free herself.
08:00She sneaks around until she finds an office and grabs a knife before returning to her cell,
08:04where she pretends to still be chained up.
08:06She hears someone approaching her from behind and quickly jumps to stab that person,
08:10thinking it's Robert.
08:11However it's actually Smith, who collapses in her girlfriend's arms.
08:14Then Robert also enters the cell and Paloma begs for his help.
08:17He covers Smith's wound with his hand and asks her to stay still,
08:20but she's bleeding heavily.
08:21Paloma notices Smith's gun on the floor but before she could grab it,
08:24Lenny appears and shoots her with a tranquilizer.
08:26She apologizes to Smith before passing out.
08:29Afterward Robert goes to the living room to drink wine and watch a video of Rebecca doing
08:32a presentation on neurotransplantation for potential investors.
08:36Suddenly Robert starts hallucinating that the Rebecca on the screen is talking to him
08:39and then appears in the room.
08:40She says that he's been given a golden opportunity to finish his experiments and that he has to do it
08:44for us.
08:45At the police station,
08:46Crace and Diane finally find Paloma's ad for Robert's house and notice the literary name,
08:50so they decide to check the place out.
08:52When Paloma wakes up, she's chained again and Smith is gone.
08:55She looks into the other room and discovers that Robert and Lenny are getting an unconscious
08:58Smith ready for surgery.
09:00To her shock, they also have Tad, who has been kept alive on purpose.
09:04Robert plans to do a brain transplant and ignores Paloma when she calls him a monster.
09:08Paloma watches in horror how Robert cuts Smith's head open and she has to
09:11cover her ears when he starts using the drill.
09:13She starts having a breakdown that causes her to hallucinate Smith telling her she loves her.
09:17Paloma tries reaching for her, however the hallucination disappears when Robert
09:20removes a piece from Smith's brain and she dies.
09:22A desperate Paloma tries to make him see reason but it's too late,
09:26Robert puts a piece of Smith's brain into Tad's head and wakes him up.
09:29At first, Tad has some difficulty moving, but soon he gains enough control of his body to
09:33leave the stretcher and enter the cell.
09:34He falls on his knees in front of Paloma and mentions Baltimore,
09:38revealing it's actually Smith's brain controlling the body.
09:40Paloma tells her she loves her and Smith replies same for further confirmation.
09:44As Paloma apologizes, the body squirms and Tad comes out to insult her.
09:48Paloma pushes him off and Robert rushes to bring him out of the cell.
09:51Paloma furiously yells at him, promising he'll kill him.
09:54Tad's body is struggling with having two minds in his head,
09:56so he lunges toward the wall.
09:58His exposed brain is crushed by the bricks so he falls dead.
10:01At that moment Robert's camera alerts him of Diane's and Crace at his front door.
10:04Robert screams in frustration and tells Lenny to get Paloma ready before he runs out.
10:08Seconds later, Robert appears outside all cleaned up with his dog,
10:12pretending he's just coming back from his walk.
10:14He lets the detectives inside and Diane notices all the cameras.
10:17When she asks to see the footage, Robert explains his tenants like turning them off but agrees to
10:21give them the little footage he has.
10:23Then Diane shows him the ad with his house, so he tells her that he didn't post it.
10:26He admits he had a guest recently and mentions the other fake Paloma used,
10:30which is also a literary character.
10:31Diane finds it suspicious that a surgeon with his amazing salary wants to rent his house,
10:35but since he's doing nothing illegal Crace points out they can't bother him anymore so they leave.
10:39When Robert looks in the mirror,
10:41he finds Rebecca telling him that he may not be able to do this alone.
10:44Robert screams in frustration again before calling Bradshaw.
10:47On the street, Diane tells Crace all the weird things she noticed in the house.
10:50No water bowl for the dog, carpet tape on the floor but no carpet,
10:53and a small spot on the wall with new paint.
10:56Not to mention that two literary names in the same house in the same week can't be a coincidence.
11:00Unfortunately Crace reminds her they still don't have enough to do anything to him.
11:03In the lab, Lenny is shaving Paloma's hair while she keeps talking about family and love,
11:07saying that the real Lenny must still be in that body.
11:10When he takes her back to the cell, she tells him they should escape together.
11:13Lenny drags her to the surgery area to grab Smith's gun and give Paloma the handcuffs keys.
11:17After quickly taking the cuffs off, Paloma gives Smith's body a goodbye kiss and takes her ring.
11:22At that moment, Lenny uses the gun to self-delete.
11:25Hearing this, Robert rushes to recapture Paloma and sedates her before throwing her in the back of his van.
11:29Some time later, Paloma wakes up strapped to a stretcher with a video of Rebecca
11:33playing on the wall and classical music on the speakers.
11:36Robert says that these are to stimulate the recipient before the transplant.
11:39At the police station, Crace and Diane are watching Robert's footage of the front door camera.
11:44Nobody appears on it, but Diane points out that it rained on Monday yet there's nothing wet on the screen.
11:48This means Robert messed with the footage.
11:50For the next few hours, Paloma can't move her body at all and she's forced to watch all the videos.
11:55Eventually Robert comes back with another body, it's Rebecca, who isn't actually dead.
11:59She's in a coma because of a degenerative brain disease and Robert has been keeping her alive for years.
12:04Rebecca and Paloma have the same blood type, so Robert will do the surgery.
12:08Paloma has a breakdown and says she hopes he ends up like Tad.
12:11With Paloma still awake, Robert cuts open her head.
12:14At first she laughs, but that changes into screaming when Robert gets the drill.
12:17Moments later Bradshaw arrives to see the results of the experiment.
12:21Paloma begs for help, but Bradshaw is disgusted by all the lines Robert has crossed and
12:24steps out of the room.
12:26When Bradshaw wonders how many people were killed for this, Robert swears this is the first one.
12:30He points out that Paloma is a scammer that nobody will miss and this experiment could save
12:34millions of people, but Bradshaw knows that he's only doing it for Rebecca and calls it playing God.
12:38Refusing to be part of this, Bradshaw leaves.
12:40In the car, Bradshaw tries calling 911.
12:44However Robert appears next to him and stabs him.
12:46In the police station, Crace and Diane learn that Robert's neighbors heard a gunshot last night.
12:50Between this and the fake footage, they have enough for a warrant.
12:53When Robert returns to the lab, he finds the stretcher empty.
12:56Suddenly Paloma tries to attack him from behind and Robert pushes her off,
13:00but she still manages to slash his chest with a scalpel before he captures her and puts her
13:03back on the stretcher.
13:05Afterward Robert washes up to get ready for the surgery.
13:07He keeps thinking about Rebecca and screaming in front of the mirror.
13:10On the street, Crace and Diane surround the building with a SWAT team.
13:13They bring down the front door and Diane goes inside, but they find nothing.
13:17Crace goes around the back and finds the other entrance, so he tells the team to follow him.
13:21Meanwhile Robert cuts off a big part of Rebecca's brain.
13:24Then he does the same to Paloma and proceeds to do the transplant.
13:27By the time the cops reach the surgery area, they find a bunch of bodies but no sight of Robert
13:31or
13:31Rebecca.
13:32A few houses down the street, Robert is hiding in Rebecca's parents' home.
13:36Eventually Rebecca wakes up and Robert is happy to finally see his wife conscious and sane.
13:40Sometime later, Robert is helping Rebecca move again.
13:43She wonders who the body used to belong to so he just says that the donor didn't survive the procedure.
13:47Months later, Robert and Rebecca are happily living in a cabin near the woods.
13:51Suddenly Rebecca slashes Robert's neck, revealing that Paloma has been in charge the whole time
13:55and only pretended until she was fully recovered to get her revenge.
13:58She puts on Smith's ring again and smokes while she enjoys watching Robert bleed to death.
