I was away overnight.

He had a bit of a fever
but nothing serious.

Where did you go?

DC. I was there for a concert.



I'm a pianist.

The event was cancelled
right after we got there.

I just got the next flight back.

Okay

We're going to need to run
a few test on you.

Would you please
take your mask off?

I'm gonna need
you to hold still please.

in each nostril.

It's going to be
a bit uncomfortable.

Where was he the last few days?

Do you know
if he was with someone?

No. He was mostly home.

He is a filmmaker.

When he's writing he usually
barricades himself inside

Sure.

Thank you.

911, What is your emergency?

police department please

This is Sophia Raul

Someone's in the house

Try to stay calm

Please send someone

Are you allright?

Do you know who's in the house?

I am being assaulted

The music stopped

Do you think maybe
they heard you?

I don't know

I can't see anything

I see you also called
for an ambulance at 7PM

Yes, for my husband

He's in the hospital now

What was his problem?

Corona..

Are you under quarantine?

Yes

I wish you'd told me that before

Our people must have protective
gear and we're in short supply

I'm afraid of dying
this is what you tell me now?

Lives of our officers matter too
ma'am. But please stay calm

They'll be with you in a minute

Please keep your distance, ma'am

I don't have proper PPE

My name is officer Edward
from police department

Do you need
medical attention ma'am?

No

I think I'm okay. Can you
just find whoever's in there?

I'll conduct a search the house

please go back to the place
that you can be safe

Okay

Thank you officer Edward

No problem

Ma'am

I looked everywhere.
There's nobody in this house

There's no sign of forced entry

Does anybody else
exept your husband

have access into this house?

No, I don't think so

Did you see anyone with
your own eyes in this house?

Someone grabbed me while
I was asleep in front of the TV

He dragged me down the stairs

the TV was on another channel
and the record was palying

The TV is off now.
Did you turn it off?

Ms Raul,
I'm going back out to my cruiser

I'm gonna watch your house
for entire night

but the meantime,
This is my card

give me a call
if you see or hear anything

okay,
thank you officer Edward

You're welcome

Hello?

This is officer Edward again

I'm writing the report

and I have some questions
for you if you don't mind

Okay

I noticed a lot of
medicine bottles

when I was searching your house

May I ask
what medications you take?

Just Advil for my headaches and

Melatonin for sleeping

Most of those are for my husband

Do you suffer from
phobias or hallucinations?

Have you ever taken sedatives
or any other medication?

No, that's not my thing

Have you ever walked
in your sleep?

A couple of times
when I was young

I don't remember it myself
but my mom told me I did

Why?

Just asking

There's a lot of anxiety
lately around the pandemic

when we're under a lot of stress
the mind can play tricks

What?

You saw the blood

Maybe there was a fall
and you hit your head?

No

No

Jesus Christ

I told you
I was hurt and..

dragged down to the basement

and you are telling me
I am imagining it all?

No one is making accusations,
ma'am

Could you do me a favour

and have a look around
to see if anything was stolen?

Fine, I'll look

Morning Mrs. Raul

It's 7:30 in the morning

and I haven't seen anything
out of the ordinary

No shadowy figures

is everything okay in there?

Yes..Thank you Officer Edward

you're welcome

You look pretty tired

You need to get some sleep.
or do some yoga or meditation

You seem pretty wound up

You think I've lost my mind?

Oh no,
This is not what I said

but I did write in my report

and probably should talk
to somebody who can help

They gonna give you a call
in a couple of hours

Fine

Thanks a lot

Hi..

I want to see
Martin Grave please

I'm afraid I can't

He's on a ventilator right now

I just wanna make sure he's OK

Hold on a second please

Martin?

Can you hear me?

Blink if you can hear me

Thomas told me that
you emailed him and said that

something is going to happen

That it is my fault

Is that true?

Martin?

It's okay, it's not important

I'm just glad that
you're alright

Take care my darling

You'll be home soon

Bye

Hi

Sophia?

This is Nina Harrison

I'm a social worker and
as referred to you by the police

Is this a good time?

Do we really have to do this?

I think it would be best

Officer Edward seemed
pretty concerned

Okay, Fine

Okay great

how are you doing today, Sophia?

I am..

I am fine

I am okay

It must be hard
to be alone right now

your husband is in the hospital

Are you keeping busy?

I'm fine

I play the piano and..

I listen to music

Okay.. great

Well, aren't you lucky?

I would love to come see
you perform

Sophia

have you ever been
afraid of being alone?

Not since I was 11

Well

tell me a bit about that

Why were you afraid?

My mother.. she died of cancer
She was very young

But what does any of this
have to do with anything?

This is just a chat

I'm hoping
to get to know you better. So..

please just trying relax
and let's keep talking

Sure

My father re-married
shortly after

The step-mother
had two kids of her own. and..

We never really got along

She was so mean

I left home for college
Never looked back

Charlie!
get out of here

Oh my goodness

I am so sorry

It's a hard time for dog owners
right now

- This guy's losing it at home
- It's okay

I wonder if this fear
that you have now

is rooted in your childhood

hildhood traumas
can be very powerful

They can return
whenever you feel a similar fear

for example..

the fear of losing your house

the fear of death

I wanna ask you about
the shadow you saw

Was it a male figure?

I'm not sure

So..

What did it look like exactly?

I told them everything

It is not that
I just saw things

I was dragged down
to the basement

the basement..

does it have a special
connotation for you?

Perhaps a bad memory?

No

I can't think of anything

I'm just going to give you some
recommendations Sophia, okay?

The 14 days you have to spend
inside are going to be tough

You need to eat well

Lots of veggies

plenty of water

and make sure
you get enough rest

try to stay positive

You can Keep playing the piano
like you're doing now

if you start getting
overwhelmed or..

you start to feel like
your thoughts

are getting too negative

talking to someone on video
can really help

No drugs and alcohol
okay?

And you can call me
if you ever need to talk

Thank you, Nina

I'm sorry

I don't think I can play

it's okay

Rest up today.
We'll continue without you

We still have two weeks
until the concert

Ok

See you soon

Bye everyone

Yeah

No I'll talk to you later

Hello Ms Raul.
Is everything alright?

I thought I called 911

You did actually
You were redirected to us

We know you've called
a few times recently

We're happy to help
Is everything Okay?

I wanted to report
a break and entery

Are you in a safe place
right now?

Yes

And you're sure
you saw someone in your house?

I might have been mistaken

That's OK, Ms Raul

We have a note here saying that
you might be having few troubles

Would you still like me to
take time and send someone over?

No, it's ok

I was confused
Sorry about that

Ah..

Who is there?

Hey..

What's going on?

Can you open the door?

SHUT THE FUCK UP, WHORE

Shut up

Who is that?

I'm the wife

bitch

I'm sure you know my name

No I don't know who are you
talking about

I'm an actress
I'm here for a screen test

That's all

Is that why you had
the keys to my fucking house?

Martin gave it to me the keys
because of Coronavirus

I read the messages
so shut the fuck up

OK, OK, fine, fine

Look..

He told me you were traveling

I came to stay the night

But can you open the door now?

Somebody help me

Her car was here

Somebody help me

Lilly..

Lilly..

Where did you go?

You see

Do you see her wet clothes?

an we get to my questions first?

Martin used to
be married to a woman named Amber

until two years ago

and has a son from
that relationship, Correct?

Yes

We got married a year ago

I'm in touch with Thomas,
his son

When did you two
start seeing each other?

How do you mean?

I wondering.
How long have you been seeing each other?

You know, before the marriage

October.
Three years ago

He was still married

Yes, so what? He's a filmmaker
You know how it is.

No, I don't really

just thinking out loud here

We spoke about
the fears of your childhood..

but now I'm thinking maybe it's
all about the last few years..

these shadows
can emanate from inside of you

You might be feeling guilty
because of Martin's divorce

Can you stop talking nonsense?

Please don't get angry, Sophia

you clearly do need some help
I think..

Shut up... Shut up

Hello

Hello, Ms Raul?

Speaking

Ms Raul, how are you?

I'm.. okay. How's my husband?

I am sorry to be
calling with bad news, Ms Raul

Martin passed away last night.

I can only
imagine what you're going through

but we need to get
to some practicalities

Are you there Ms Raul?

Yes

Okay

As you know we can't
hold standard burials at the moment

I understand
how emotional this must be but..

Martin wanted cremation
It's in his will

Could you send me
a copy of the will today?

By email, if possible

Yeah..sure

e can take care of the cremation

and post the ashes
to the address in the will?

Yeah

Is there anyone
else you'd like me to call?

I'll call his son

Thomas?

I heard the news

You can't have a funeral

I know

I don't think
he would have minded

no

Sophia, my mom has a
lawyer She is going to sue you

What?

For what?!

As you know Martin
sold the house last week

He transferred all
his money to my account

No... I mean..
no.. I didn't know

Mom thinks
you wanted to kill him

What the hell..

why would I do that?

I know you had fights

Why else would he take
everything out of his name?

I had an email from dad

There are photos

Why is everyone
talking nonsense to me

What photos? What email?

Why would I kill him
if I knew he..

transferred all the assets away?

I know

my mom's lawyer is after
your corona test results

Maybe you had that..

Maybe you have Corona..

Maybe you knew about it..

You know what?

you didn't tell my dad..

You can go to hell
like everyone else

Do whatever you want

You shouldn't be so close

it's not safe

If you've got it, I've got it

I don't have
my test results yet

I can get it

Hi, sorry to bother you
Is this the Raul household?

Yeah

I'm looking for a missing person
Lilly Bate

That'd be me

Your mother is
looking for you everywhere..

I saw your car outside
Is everything OK?

Yeah, this is my friend's house.

She has COVID and..

Sorry.. I am..

My phone died
Mom's being dramatic as usual

- You're under quarantine?
- Yeah.. I mean Yes Sir

Please step back
and close the door..

and please call your mother
Goodbye

Here

Hey come on
Get up

eat something

Did you wash your hands?

Yes
I washed my hands

Happy?!

You shouldn't be this close

Look..

This is all been confusing

and I don't know exactlly
what to do

I want to go home

I'd like to leave you
and you grieve

but I don't wanna get
anyone sick

I don't wanna get my mom sick

I think I need to stay here
for the full 14 days

Yeah, you should stay

I was also thinking that

maybe you and I could have
a little wake for Martin

To hell with Martin

yeah

I herad your conversation
with Thomas

I'm sorry
It sounds bizarre

Look who am I talking to

the woman who made a fool
out of me with that bastard

And now
I'm your only companion

I'm not sure
if you even exist

Maybe it doesn't matter so much

Sophia!

Sophia

Sophia

Hey.. you okay..

it's Lilly

You are okay..
you are safe

Why am I here?

I think you were sleep walking

You're in your own house
allright?

Let's get you back to your room

You've got a bit of fever

if it goes up I'll call
an ambulance

you might have
go to the hosptal

No

Don't even talk about it

I don't wannna die
like Martin in the hospital

I'd rather to be here

My house

Okay

Might not be necessary

Just...

Get some sleep,
get some rest

Good night, Sophia

can you stay?

um..

yeah

I can stay

Do you think Thomas was serious?

I don't know

If I'm being honest...

I think it's Amber
who is really after you

you didn't give Martin Corona
on purpose, did you?

Of course not

What the hell

He wanted to leave you
he did

He told me all about it

These filmmakers
love to tell stories

Who knows what he really wanted

why would he lie about that?
Sophia

He couldn't help himself

You know..

People think I'm crazy

that I made you up

but I'm starting to see that

it was really Martin
who lived in a fantasy world

How did you two meet?

um...

On the set of Ambassadors

one of my friends was
working on it

I was just hanging around

We started talking

It was a year ago, now

At first he talked about you
all the time

all the time

Sick, twisted even

I know every single one of
your tattoos

can I?

I'm sorry about that

Sorry for what?

Hurting you

Can I see it?

I'm sorry

yes, Hi

Sophia Raul

I had corona test
two days ago

I'm calling to find out
the result

is it available?

Okay

I'll try again tomorrow
thanks

What do you think?

Cute!

But too formal

You should try
something more comfortable

I love this one

That was for a consert,
it won't happen anymore now

by the way you didn't
did you..

you got your Corona result?

It's okay

Okay as in..
negative? or..

So weird

after all of the things...

you have to say goodbye

How could he do this to me?

Can you imagine?

so suddenly

I lost my husband,

house,

and probably all my money

and the world
is going crazy too

maybe deep down
you wanted this

Maybe deep down some part of
you really wanted him to die

maybe Thomas is right

Martin was a defeated man

No one was investing
in his films

He thought the world
was plotting against him

He was a sick man, Lilith

but he was famous too when..

no one believed he was sick

He really did talk about you
all the time

all the time

about the way you laugh

the way you smile

wait..
just wait

you forgot one of the
cameras, Lilly

get back in living room
and get that fram off the wall

somthing you
were wearing fell behind the bed

go get it

I can't find the keys

In the drawer
make up thing

most
importantly, don't miss the ashes

she has done enough
for me

she is not gonna live long
enough to notice

Martin?!

Is that Martin?

Lilly?..

who are you talking to?

Is Martin alive?

Lilly..

Please answer the question

Please tell me what's going on?

Please don't
leave me alone Lilly..

I beg you Lilly

What's up Lilly?

Is there a problem?

Please.. open the door..

I can't

Lilly..

what happened?

call dropped..
hey.. You overdid it

No one said
you had to sleep with her

noone was I supposed to be hit
by a fucking fire pocker

or left there

Who knew she would have gone
for the pocker

You can't predict everything,
gorgeous

and improvisation is
an essential skill for an actor

That's some Gaspar Noe
shit we got there

I couldn't ruin this divine
natural intervention

without human intervention

What if I died?
Martin?

Relax

Sophia is not that strong

and we had twenty cameras
in there. anyways.

Cameras don't save people

If I...

If I'd died, the police would
have gone after Sophia, not you

just another part of your
divine fucking plan

Hey..
are you okay?!

one moment..

Hi...

- Are we done here?
- yeah

- Good job
- Thank you, Call me any time

You make me sick

I can't believe
you did that to me

Hah..

Sophia has fooled and
charmed you too, I see

Must be the kisses..
ayayay

Fuck sake
that is my body

You are a pig

You never understand that

Alright, sorry!

Is that what you want to hear?

can you forget it now?

We're done. We did it.
It all worked!

all you have to do is fall
through the last step now Lilly

you need to get everything
and get out of the house

I just can't Martin

I just can't

Let's just have fun out here
for a couple of days

I'll come home and pretend I
found her corpse in the bathroom

call the police
to come take the body

It's time for our honeymoon
Lilith, you know it.

that's horrible

you are horrible

Hey...

It's time for
us to live our lives

Look at the glass half full,
gorgeous

You think I could have been able
to get rid of her that easily?

We never signed a prenup

Now I have the house,

I have the money,

I have the life
We're free!

What more do you want?

If I hadn't done this,
if we didn't disappear

you know what
they would do to me

You know
what would happen to me

Don't wait for me, Okay?

Lilly

Bye, Martin

Lilith?

Good morning Sophia

I hope I didn't wake you up

I'm not at home right now
listen..

I'm calling as your friend
and not your social worker

I finally found
your medical case

I was able to track down
your last therapist's secretary

she finally agreed
to send me the case

I don't recall having
asked you for help

Please don't worry
okay?

I finally understand now that
you suffer from schizophrenia

This can help
us explain all the shadows

and your friend Lillith

You're full of shit

I don't suffer from
any schizophrenia

If someone finds this out

they can use this
information against you

Martin has hired you too

It's all too obvious

Get lost.

No!
