I Almost Married a Serial Killer (2019) - full transcript
To escape a serial killer, a single mom and her daughter enter witness protection, only to find their lives in greater danger than ever.
So in "My Last Duchess",
the narrator keeps a
painting of his murder
victim behind a curtain
that only he has
the power to open.
Student: Psycho.
Yeah. A total psycho,
but a very charming one.
However, in
"Porphyria's Lover"
the murderer is
actually a madman
who wants to prolong
a perfect moment
with his lover
by killing her.
[DING] On that note, your
papers are due on Friday.
Do not forget -
especially you.
Goodbye.
Bye.
[door slams shut]
[gasps] Oh my god.
You scared me.
[laughs]
Hi.
Hi.
I just could not
wait another minute
to see you.
Well, we.. did you come
here to have lunch with me?
Uh, you know,
tempting as that is,
I've actually got to
get back to work.
So, hold on
a second.
You came all the way
here to give me a kiss?
Yeah. I
kind of did.
Oh my god,
you're amazing.
Mmm.
Wow.
Some kiss,
though.
Yeah. It was.
[inhales sharply]
Raf...
[laughs] You
forgot your coat.
Hey, are you,
uh, free tonight?
Yes. Yes, I am.
Violet is going to a
party and then she's
spending the night
at a friend's house.
We'll have the whole
night to ourselves.
I'll call
you later.
-Okay.
This is so pretty.
Had it.. hold on. Oh,
I can't quite hold...
This is really
hard. [laughs]
Um, hello.
[gasps] You
found it!
-I did.
Promise me you won't
get anything on it, okay"
-Promise.
And you have to clean
your room tomorrow.
-I promise.
Okay, good.
[phone ringing].
I'll get it.
Need some help?
-[laughs] Yes.
Oh. Hi, Raf.
Mom, it's for you.
Raf, she'll just
be a second. Hey.
-Hey, Violet.
Hey, so I hear you're
going to a party tonight.
Is that guy you like,
Mike, gonna be there?
Um, yeah. I mean..
I mean, I hope so.
Well, just remember
what I told you.
Always gotta play-
-Play hard to
get. I know.
Did my mother tell you
to say that to me again?
[laughing]
No way.
It's true,
though, Violet.
Guys, they, uh,
they love the chase.
Okay. Um, now Raf,
I'm going to give you
a little bit of
advice, okay?
Hit me.
-You can let life lead you
where it wants sometimes.
Not everything
has to be perfect.
-Duly noted.
Have I told
you, Violet,
you are wise
beyond your years?
-Thank you.
-Yes, hard to get.
Hard to get is good.
Play very hard to get.
I love the
advice you give her.
And I loved
that kiss.
Me too.
So listen, the girls are
going to leave soon, um,
why don't you come
over around eightish?
Yeah. About
that... um..
Listen, I just got a
call that I have to fly
to Tokyo in the morning
and I got a ton of work
I gotta get done
before then. So...
Um, okay.
-But I'm going to
make it up to you.
when I get back,
I've got a really
special night
planned for us.
I'll miss you.
Yeah, yeah, I'll miss
you- I'll miss you too.
Um, travel
safe. Bye.
We're off.
Seriously, already?
-What?
Get over here.
[car honking]
That's Carrie, we
gotta go, we gotta go.
-Okay, fine. Go. But,
no texting and driving.
I'll tell her.
You girls look out for
each other, and don't
go into any rooms
alone with boys.
I know. I know.
Mrs. Fieri, you
don't have to worry.
Violet can use
the safe word
that we use when
we need rescuing,
like if a guy gets
too aggressive.
Or like
super boring.
-It's not funny.
We just say "cotton
candy", and that's our
clue to get each
other out of there.
Cotton candy... that
was your safe word
when you were
a little girl.
Yes.
You remember.
I love you.
Okay, we're going. Stop,
you're ruining my makeup.
-Okay, girls.
Have fun.
We will, bye!
-But not
too much.
[laughing]
Hey, Cam.
Hey.
Brunch tomorrow?
Yeah. I'll
bring the bagels.
Yes!
[door closes
loudly]
Raf?
Raf, are
you here?
Raf?
[loud noise
from upstairs]
Raf?
Raf?
[door closing
downstairs]
[sigh]
[loud noise]
[dog barking
in the distance]
[knocking]
Raf? Are
you in here?
Hello?
What is this?
Hunter...
What...
[loud camera

[loud

[suspenseful music]
[loud camera

[suspenseful music]
[gasping]
Oh my god.
What is going on?
[rapid loud
camera shutter]
[door closes]
Ah.. [door locks]
Camille, Camille...
It wasn't supposed
to happen this way.
Rafael, what's going
on? what is this?
You've ruined it.
I had a big night
planned for us
when I got
back from Tokyo.
Now it's
all ruined.
So I guess tonight's gonna
have to be the night.
Rafael, you're not
making any sense.
You're scaring me.
What's happening?
The night
for what?
Actually, tonight
might be perfect.
You're
obviously ready...
or else you wouldn't
have come over here
wearing that... if
you weren't ready.
Ready for what?
Now Camille. I need you to
tell me that you love me.
What? [sobbing]
Don't act like
you don't know.
I saw it in your
eyes, earlier.
You were ready to give
me your entire self,
not just your
body, your heart.
The way you
looked at me
after you
found that ring...
In fact, why don't
you just put this on?
[suspenseful music]
Oh my god.
-Just put
this on.
[crying] Oh my
god, you're insane.
Not. Insane. Camille!
[suspenseful music]
I just enjoy
the hunt...
the thrill of
the chase...
and, of course,
the kill.
I need you to
tell me you love me.
Just say
those words.
[phone ringing] It's
Violet. It's Violet.
-Do not
answer that!
Hi, baby.
[dance music]
Mom?
Is everything
okay?
Yes, everything's fine,
we're being totally safe.
It's fine.
Mom, are
you okay?
Oh baby, I'm fine.
I'm just a little bit
tired right
now, that's all.
I'm just going
to lay down,
maybe have a
glass of wine
and some of that
cotton candy we got.
[ominous music]
I love you,
Violet.
I love you
too, mom.
Hey, Jonah just came
with a really cute friend.
Lisa, my mom just
said "cotton candy"
on the phone.
You think she was
saying it as a joke?
No, there's no way
she'd say it as a joke.
She taught me that you
only say the safe word
if you're
in trouble.
I'm going
to call 9-1-1.
[ominous music]
Yeah... That's good.
Now, say the
words, Camille.
Say the words...
Say it.
You want me to
tell you I love you?
-Yes.
You know
I love you.
Rafael, put down
the knife. Please.
Please...
Auugh!
[suspenseful music]
Help!
Help!
Please help me.
The guy in there
is trying to kill me.
[door bangs
open and shut]
I was
so scared.
I'm so glad
you're okay.
-Thank you.
I love you.
Okay. You
can relax.
We found him.
[exhales]
I'm-I'm so
glad that
he's going to be
locked up, right?
Like, he can't..
he can't get out
and come after
me again?
We're going to do
everything that we can.
Now we found a lot of
evidence at his house,
but there's one
thing that we need
to ensure that
we get him,
and get him
all the way...
Your testimony.
Well if.. if that's
going to put him away,
then of course.
Of course you
have my testimony.
-Great.
I was terrified.
And everything
is-is kind of a blur.
He put the knife
up to my throat,
and then he
tried to kill me.
And is this the
knife he was holding?
Yes, it is.
♪
You really have
nothing to say?
Well, in that case, we'll
proceed to sentencing.
I hereby sentence you to
serve eight consecutive
life sentences with
no chance of parole.
One for every one of
the brutal and callous
murders you're
being convicted for.
And though you're not
human enough to give us
the locations of all
your victims, at least
the families now have
some form of closure
as to what happened
to their loved ones.
I must say that I'm
happy that society
will never have to
see your face again.
[bangs gavel]
[ominous music
getting louder]
Oh, yum!
Mmm.
What do you
think about this?
Um, for your Sweet
16 party, what if you
invited a bunch of
girls and you did like
a spa day or something,
there's an article in here
says it's like-
spa days are like
a big Sweet 16
trending thing now.
It's like supposed
to be super cool.
Uh, are you sure
it doesn't say
a Sweet
60 party?
Might be fun for
the two of you.
[both gasp] That is
so rude. That is..
-Nah, I'm just kidding,
I'd just rather have
something here and just
maybe invite some friends
and like maybe- and
Jolie, you could make,
um, those little
cakes that you made
for mom's
birthday last year.
I would
love to.
Yeah? Oh,
awesome.
-Yeah.
Okay, I just want
to text Lisa to
make sure she thinks
that sounds cool.
-Make sure she thinks
it's good even though
you have like forever
to decide. [doorbell]
"I gotta do it
now!" Hold on.
I'm just excited!
[laughing]
Hi.
Camille Fiore?
Mm-hmm.
I'm agent Halloran,
this is agent Kramer..
with the FBI.
Okay.
May we come in and
speak with you please?
Why?
It's about
Rafael DuPont.
He's escaped
from prison.
And judging by
the drawings
that he's done
of you in jail,
we believe that
he's coming after you.
So you think that these
sketches are the reason
that-that Rafael
is after me?
-Yes, they are.
-It's not just that.
Serial killers don't
like to leave
unfinished business.
You're the one who
got away, so to speak.
I-I don't, I
don't understand.
You told me that if
I.. if I testified
that he would be
put away for life.
That's what
you told me.
He's a very
intelligent man.
We believe that he
started planning his
escape the moment
he entered prison.
He seduced a guard and
she helped him escape.
I'm sorry.
Due to the fact that
it was your testimony
that helped secure
his sentence,
we'd like to temporarily
offer you our protection.
Okay.
-A new identity.
A new city.
A new life.
Just until we can get
him into custody again.
Wait, you're talking
about witness protection?
-No. No-no. We-we
can't, we can't do that.
We're not just going to
move and go to a new city.
This is where our lives
are and this is home
and where school
and-and my friends
and we shouldn't
have to go away.
We're not
the criminals!
Tell- tell them that
we're not gonna go.
Oh.
I'm not going!
I'm not!
[door slams]
Okay, she's right.
She-she's right.
Our lives are here,
my job is here,
my dad is here,
he's very ill,
he's in a nursing
home. I..
I see him every week.
I-we can't leave.
I mean, Cam, I
could visit your dad.
I would go every week,
just until you got back.
The WITSEC program

Hey.
-Hey.
Take my hand.
I'm giving you
a burner phone.
If anything
happens to my dad,
I want you to
call me, okay?
-Okay... Okay.
Okay, bye.
Stay safe.
-Thanks.
[trunk slams shut]
[car starts]
Here's your
new ID cards -
social security, birth
certificates and license
under the names Lillie
and Emilee Connors.
I'm also going to
give you one of these.
My number's already
programmed in
under
"Uncle Frank".
-Okay.
Is one of those
for me?
-Yeah.
Not like I have
anyone to call.
Nope, not yet.
Now you both know
how important it is
to not contact anyone
from the past, right?
-Yes.
I know. I'm
not stupid.
Violet? Violet!
I'm sorry, she's not
normally like this.
It's just...
It's perfectly normal.
She'll be fine.
Once she starts school
she'll make new friends.
Speaking of which,
your daughter's modified
school transcripts
haven't come in yet.
As soon as they
do, she can start.
Until then, just
get settled in
and start practicing
your new identities.
Are there any
leads on Rafael?
Have you
heard anything?
-No. Not yet.
But I don't
want you to worry.
Everyone on this
team is working on it.
As soon as he shows
his face, we'll get him.
-Okay.
Very nice...
Yes, very nice,
Mr. DuPont.
It's all looking
like it's healing up
very well. It's
only been ten days,
but it all
looks very good.
The cheek implants,
the chin, very nice.
You'll be able to have
those bandages off
and go out in
public in no time.
I must say I've
never done such an
extensive facial
revision before.
Once those
bandages come off
you'll be completely
unrecognizable.
You'll be able to
leave the country
without fear of
being arrested.
Let me just reassure
you, no one will ever
find out about what
we've done here.
I'll never tell
a soul about
what you
look like now.
You don't
have to worry.
[gunshot]
[ominous music]
Okay. Here
we are.
You all ready for your
first day of school?
"Hi, I'm Emilee Connors
from Miami, Florida.
Go Dolphins."
Okay, listen, if um,
if anybody asks you
anything today that
you can't answer,
just turn it
around on them
'cause people like to
talk about themselves,
and if you run
into any problems,
just-just come
and find me.
Um, I'm in
room 202.
-Great.
Nothing like having
your mom at school
in order to make
new friends.
Don't come
in with me.
Brill?
-Here.
Corbin?
-Here.
Chartier?
-Here.
Connors?
Lillie Connors?
Oh. Uh, hi,
um, here.
Everyone say hello
to our new student
Lillie Connors
From Miami.
[various greetings]
Jones?
-Here.
Dougherty?
[melancholy music]
Lillie... Lillie.
Lillie!
Hey. How's
it going?
Come on, babe, it's
gonna get better.
It really will, this
is just the first day.
[bell rings]
I'll meet you in the
parking lot after school.
Hey, I'm going to run in
and get some groceries,
do you want to
come with me?
-No.
-Okay.
Keep the
doors locked.
Violet? Violet?
Violet!
We'll find your owner.
We will find your owner.
Violet, you cannot
run away like that,
not with everything
that's going on, babe.
Okay, okay, mom.
But look who I found.
It's just I saw this
dog walking around
and just- isn't he
adorable? Look at him!
-Yes, he's adorable.
Whose dog is it?
I don't know.
I just saw him walking
and I asked around
but nobody knows
who his owner is.
-See if he
has a tag.
Oh, good
thinking.
Oh, yep, there
is a number.
-Okay, hold on.
-Hello.
Hi. Uh, we
have your dog.
Wha-ha-ha -
you found him?
Oh, thank
goodness.
I've been looking
everywhere for him.
Thank you.
Whereabouts are you
guys? I'll come get him.
Uh, we are
across the street
from the ice cream
shop on Main Street.
Okay, perfect.
I'll be there in
two minutes, thanks.
Yes. Yes,
you're so sweet.
Hey, buddy.
Hello.
[laughing]
Hey, buddy. Hey.
How you doing?
I can't believe
you found him.
Thank you
so much.
I mean I don't
know what I'd do
if anything happened
to Hemingway,
he's like my little
baby, you know?
Hemingway?
Yeah. Hemingway.
I know it's a
ridiculous name,
but I'd just
finished reading
The Sun Also Rises
so it was the
first name that came
to mind, you know?
No, no. It-it's
a great name.
-Yeah.
Well, I'm Brian
Whitaker, by the way.
I just moved into
my granddad's ranch
up on the corner of town
here up on Waring Road.
-Oh, well, I'm Emilee,
this is my daughter
Lillie, and uh, we are
also new to this place.
Oh, yeah?
Where you from?
Um, from
Florida, um, yeah.
Florida?
Wait a minute,
I'm from Florida.
I've worked there
a lot. What part?
By the ocean.
You- you said
you're not from here?
No. No-no, I'm,
like I said,
I'm here to see
my granddad,
he wasn't feeling
too good, and, well,
there was no one
else to look after him
so here I am
and unfortunately,
things took a turn
for the worse.
The doctors recommended
that I put him in a home.
So, yeah, that's what I'm
dealing with right now,
I'm not sure if it's a
mistake and- I don't know.
Yeah, yeah, we
totally get that.
Yeah. Well, my dad is
also in a nursing home,
he used to live
with us, and then
his dementia
got really bad.
It was probably
the hardest decision
I ever made - but..
it's been great.
They've been
wonderful to him.
Yeah, they're-they're
so great to them,
they take them on field
trips all the time.
Like last month,
for example,
they went to see the
Philadelphia Orchestra.
The Philadelphia
Orchestra? From Miami?
[laughs] That's
quite the field trip.
Yes, but the Philadelphia
Orchestra came to Florida
and then they took
them on this field trip.
He had such
a good time.
-That sounds great.
Well, I'll tell you what.
I'm about to go
get some ice cream.
You ladies
care to join?
-Oh, no thank you,
we really have to go
but it was a pleasure
meeting you, Brian.
-Thank you,
thank you.
Okay. All right.
-And thanks.
Yes, of course.
Bye, Hemingway.
Say goodbye.
See ya.
I'm so
sorry, mom.
I don't know how I made
such a stupid mistake.
-Oh, baby. It's all
right. It's fine.
I've been doing the
same thing all day.
I don't even know
where I am anymore.
-It's just so hard to meet
new people and keep track
of all the lies I'm
supposed to be telling.
-Hey, it's okay.
[inaudible

Mr. Fiori?
-Huh?
I need to find

Who-who

Your daughter,
Mr. Fiori. Camille.

Where's Marco?
Marco!
Marc-
Hey, nurse..

Nurse! I think he's
having a heart attack.
Better call
his daughter.
He was
asking for her.

Hey, Cam, it's me.
It's your dad.
He had a heart attack.

Oh! So sorry.

Excuse me.

Hello? Jolie?
Jolie?
Honey, there's-there's
nothing we can do.
We can't go back.
-I got it.
So not only do we have
to completely start over,
but we don't get to visit
grandpa when he's dying?
-Sweetie...
Sweetheart.
Hi.
Oh, hi-hi.
Teenagers.
Yeah. Yeah, she's-
she's having a
really hard
time adjusting.
I-I think it was a
mistake moving here.
-Oh no, come on, I
wouldn't say that.
Eh, look, to be honest,
the only thing she really
needs is a good day
of horseback riding.
Really? Is that
what she needs?
-Yes, maybe
you both do,
if you want me
to be honest.
Really?
-Yeah.
I know you're from the
big city, Emilee, right,
but I'm gonna let you in
on a little secret, okay?
Horseback riding can
solve a lot of problems.
I-I did not
know that.
-Well, it's
true. And look,
for what it's worth,
we offer riding lessons
for the kids
at the ranch,
and I don't know what
to tell you, you know?
Try it out, maybe
she'll love it,
Maybe you
both will.
What do you say this
weekend, give it a shot?
I say we'll
give it a shot.
-Okay.
We'll do it.
-Okay. Good
to see you.
Good to see
you, too.
-Okay. Bye.
You see the trick
is to actually have
the horses get to like
you before you ride them.
Right there
is good.
[gasp] But how are
they supposed to
get to know us if we're
all the way over here?
Well, you see, horses
are very smart animals.
They can read people
from very far away.
They're prey animals,
humans are predators,
so the horses have to read
people very carefully.
I mean, come on, you've
heard the saying, right?
You can never
lie to a horse.
We're doomed.
-You want
to say hi?
Yeah.
-Come on...
There you go.
Hi.
-Hi.
Hi, beautiful.
-What do you think? You
want to get saddled up?
Yes, please.
-Okay, come on.

Hi. You're

Hey! You're

-Yeah! Hi.
I think we have a
class together.
-Uh, yeah. I um, I think
math with Mr. Warren?
Oh, you're from
Miami, right?
I have always
dreamt of going there.
South Beach.
-Oh, yeah.
Uh, it's not all
it's cracked up to be.
How do you like
Willowfield so far?
Oh, um, it's-it's
nice. It's different.
Well, we better get
going, see you in school.
-Okay, bye.
Oh. Hey, actually
a bunch of us are
going bowling after
school on Wednesday.
Do you want
to come?
Yeah. I'd
love to.
Great. See
you in school.
-Okay.
[giggles]
That was a
great day.
-Thank you so
much, Brian.
Yeah, thank you.
-Come again. Bye.
You did so
good today.
-That was so
fun, mom!
So, um, he asked
me to dinner..
What do
you think?
I think he
seems pretty cool.
Right?
Oh, and those girls
invited me to go
bowling with them on
Wednesday. Can I go?
Absolutely not.
I'm kidding.
Ha!

you. It was fun.
I'm glad.
-Yeah.
Thanks.
I-I am not
ready for that.
Yeah.
Okay? All right,
good night.
-Good night.
Got your keys?
-Yep.
Okay.
Thank you.
[laughs]
Hmmm.
[wind blowing]
[tense music]
Violet!
[jarrring sound]
[screams]
[glass
shattering]
[grating music]
[screaming]
Oh my god!
Oh my god!
Are you okay?
Mom! Was
that him?
Yes, that was him.
Where's my cell phone,
we need to call
Uncle Frank.
Baby... Oh my..
Mom, he was
here. [crying]
Car on the
way right now.
I think we should get
the hell out of here.
[crying] It's okay, go
upstairs and get dressed.
-Okay. Okay?
-Okay, go
get dressed.
-Let's move.
Come on.
Oh, my god.
[crying]
-You're okay.
You're fine.
Is she okay?
-Yeah. Yeah,
she's doing better.
Um, I don't know.
Thank you so much
for letting us
stay here tonight.
I know this wasn't
exactly the best way
to end a
date night.
Nah, that's okay.
But I've got to ask you,
Emilee, who was that guy?
-Somebody I dated,
not a good guy.
How long has he
been stalking you?
-For a while.
I just hope they get
him. I really do.
I'm so glad you got
his license plate.
[engine revving]
[sirens]
Hands up!
Get your hands up
where I can see 'em!
Out of the car!
Well, look, I don't
know what to say but
seeing you in danger
tonight, I just, uh...
well, I'm just glad
nothing happened to you.
Nothing happened to me
because you were there.
You saved my
life, Brian.
♪
Out of the car
real slow! Hands up!
-You guys are
making a mistake.
Hands where I
can see them!
-You've got the wrong
guy, I'm telling you,
man, you've got
the wrong guy!
Keep your
hands up!
-You got the
wrong guy!
Freeze!
-You've got
the wrong guy!
Turn around, now.
-I'm not the
Hunter, man.
Turn around.
Shut up, hands
up on your head!
-Hey... You're making
a mistake, man.
I don't think so.
[handcuffs
locking]
Let's go, come
on. Move it.
He's all
yours, sir.
It's not him! This is
not Rafael DuPont!
I've been trying
to tell you guys.
My name's Colin
Burns, I'm a journalist.
I've been searching
for the Hunter.
Look, check my
back wallet.
I have all my
info in there,
newspaper clippings
with my name on it.
My face is on there.
See? Colin Burns.
Right there, right
there, right there.
Mmm..I um, I have so
much going on right now,
I just, I can't, I need
to take things so slow,
it's...
-It's okay. I'll wait
as long as you want.
Okay.
I want you to
know something.
While I'm around, no one
will ever hurt you again.
Okay.
I'm gonna go get
another bottle.
[fire crackling]
Ahh..
[sinister music]
I-I don't understand,
Marshal. I mean,
it had to be Rafael,
it had to be him.
He knew my name. He
knew my real name.
-That's because
he's a reporter.
The same guy who
wrote those articles
on the Hunter
back in Philly.
Now he was able to
track you down because
your friend called
you on a burner phone
that you were
forbidden to have.
The good news is
we have no reason
to believe that Rafael
knows where you are.
Okay, well,
that's good.
-All right, the FBI's
plane just landed.
They're going
to question him
and I'll keep
you posted.
Okay, thank you,
Marshal. [exhales]
So seriously,
guys..
You really aren't
going to arrest me.
Are you?
For following
a story?
[handcuffs
clanking]
Well, that's
up to you.
We have you on
a lot right now.
Home invasion,
assault...
But if you were to give
us something useful..
Okay, fine.
How exactly do you
know about this place?
See the name
of the motel?
Ring any bells?
Oaktree Inn. It
sounds familiar.
-Yeah.
It's the place where
Rafael's mom used to work
as a maid.
Remember?
Yeah.
-Yeah.
..where she was murdered
when Rafael was a little boy.
I remember that.
In room, uh, 203.
-Yeah, I must've
just missed him.
The maid was about
to clean up, so I, uh,
rented out the
room for the month
so nothing would
get disturbed.
And you didn't think about
showing it to the police?
Just went ahead and
destroyed all the evidence?
Hey, I didn't
destroy anything.
I kept everything
the way it was.
I just wanted to
have some pictures
for my book.
Especially of the bloody
bandages in the bathroom.
Think he was injured
during the escape?
-Could be. Let's get
forensics in here.
-Let's check the local
clinics and hospitals too.
If he was that
badly injured,
he might have
not gotten far.
Got anything
else, for us?
Well, I don't know how
much this will help you,
but I've been
working on a theory.
From everything I've seen
over the past years,
the Hunter
needs his victims
to fall in love with him
before murdering them.
Otherwise there's no
satisfaction in the kill.
[Camille laughing]
-What?
Next time I'm
picking the movie.
I know, you should.
I mean, how was I
supposed to know it was
gonna be so violent?
[Camille laughing]
So, tell me, any news on
that crazy ex of yours?
-No.
I can't imagine
what it's like to be
consistently looking
over your shoulder.
-Yeah, it's
really hard,
but you know what?
It's harder for her.
Ah. Kids
are resilient.
You know the good thing
that has come out of
all of this is
that I met someone
who I have so much
in common with.
I gotta tell you,
I feel the same way.
I mean, I've only
known you a few months
but it feels like I've
known you forever.
-Yeah.
So, what are you
doing on the weekend?
Um, that's
Valentine's Day.
Oh, yeah, it sure is.
And let me warn you,
I make a mean
coq au vin.
Seriously?
-Yeah.
That's my
favorite thing.
-Oh, come on.
It's my favorite.
[laughing]
Um, it's a date.
-I'm glad.
You're amazing.
I'm sorry sweetie,
I said no.
Come on. Mom.
Mom, it's not fair.
You can't just say
that I can do something
and then change your
mind last minute.
No, honey,
that's life.
Things like this happen.
You're not going.
But they're literally
on their way to get me.
No, sweetie, I said I
had a really bad feeling
about this,
and I do -
do you
understand that?
Mom, it is going to
be completely safe.
Her older sister's
gonna be there.
We're just
camping.
I said no.
You know, this-this whole
witness protection thing
I think has
made you crazy.
'Kay, maybe you're right
but you're still not going.
Well, I hate you.
-Of course
you do.
Dammit.
[phone ringing]
-Hello?
Hey.
-Hey, Emilee. Happy
Valentine's Day.
Did you get
my flowers?
I did, I did,
thank you so much.
They're beautiful. I'm
looking at them right now.
Great, that's great.
So uh, what time
you think I should
come get you tonight?
Yeah, that's why
I was calling.
Um, I'm not going to be
able to make it tonight.
Sorry.
Well, is everything okay,
Emilee? What happened?
Nothing happened, really,
I just, I don't know.
I just told Lillie she
couldn't go camping,
I have a really bad
feeling about tonight.
Yeah. If horses
can feel vibes
maybe people
can as well.
Although...
What do you mean?
-I don't know, Emilee,
you know, I'm thinking
maybe if there really is
this lunatic out there,
perhaps it's better
that Lillie's in the
middle of nowhere
with all her friends.
I'm thinking she'd
be safer out there.
Maybe it'd be
more difficult
for him to track her
out there, you know?
You know what? That
is a really good point.
I didn't even
think about that.
You know what? it
doesn't matter anyway.
Her friends have already
left and I can't take her
because I can't miss
my first PTA meeting.
It's okay, I can
give her a ride.
I'm not
doing anything.
No. No. No.
I would never ask you
to do that, it's fine.
No, no, it's okay.
It's my pleasure.
Be there in five
minutes, okay?
Really?
Thank you. Thank
you so much.
[honking]
Okay, bye mom,
I love you.
I will text you
every hour, I promise.
Bye.
[crickets chirping]
Here. Water,
it's a long trip.
Oh, thank you.
Mmm.
Are you sure that we're
going the right way
'cause it looks
like we're in the
middle of nowhere.
Oh, no, no. It's
the right way.
You can put on some
music if you want.
-Sure.
[country music]
[shuts music off]
What's up, you don't
like that song?
No, I do. It's
just it reminds me
of someone, but
it's over, so...
I wouldn't worry
too much because
if you're meant
to be with Mike,
you will find
each other again.
Did I tell you
his name was Mike?
No, no. Your mother
mentioned it to me.
[suspenseful music]
[tires on gravel]
What's going on?
Why'd we stop?
We got a flat,
you didn't feel it?
[door shuts]
[suspenseful music]
Why don't you come out
and give me a hand?
[suspenseful music]
Thank you so
much for coming in,
I really enjoyed
meeting both of you.
Thank you.
Hi. All done?
-Hey, yes,
I'm all done.
Good, good.
Hey, what
happened?
Well, it looks like
a little grease.
Oh, yeah, must've
happened while I
changed the
tire on my car.
-Oh, is
everything okay?
Yeah, yep-yep.
All good.
It's me you gotta
worry about now.
[laughing] Um,
thank you for that.
It's no
problem at all.
And, well, if I
must be honest,
I did have a secret
motive all along.
-What?
Well...
I wanted to have you
all to myself tonight.
I like that.
This is amazing.
Where did you learn
to make coq au vin?
[laughing] Well,
I could tell you,
but then I'd
have to kill you.
[laughing]
Champagne?
Yes.
I'll be
right back.
[sinister music]
Oh my, god.
Wow, that
is beautiful.
Brian, this is seriously
the best Valentine's Day.
Well, it's
not over yet.
Well, the thing
is, Emilee, I, uh,
I'm very well
aware we haven't
known each
other that long.
But you gotta admit
the last couple of months
have been pretty
intense, right?
Yeah.
-Yeah.
Look, I guess what I'm
really trying to say is
that, um, I've been
suppressing my feelings.
I've been
suppressing the way
I really feel
toward you
because of what you've
been going through.
And well, I guess
I've made a decision
not to deny the way I
feel about you anymore.
[phone ringing]
I am so sorry.
That could be Lillie,
give me one second.
Just one second.
Sorry.
Hello?
Agent Halloran?
Camille, I'm sorry
to call you so late.
We've had
a development
and I wanted
to fill you in.
We were able to
track down the doctor
who worked
on Rafael.
His remains,
actually.
He died a few
months ago in a fire.
Does that mean..
did Rafael kill him?
-We think so.
But this doctor,
he's a plastic surgeon.
So we're thinking
Rafael wasn't actually
injured in
the escape.
We think he may have
altered his appearance.
He-he changed his
appearance so...
Listen, I'm not
trying to scare you
but we don't know what
Rafael looks like right now.
Now if he did alter
his appearance enough,
he might be completely
unrecognizable.
So I might not know
who he is if I saw him?
-We did find a
hotel clerk and
he saw Rafael when
he was checking out.
He's going to do
a sketch for us
so we'll know what
Rafael looks like soon,
I promise, and I
will email that to you
as soon as I
have it, okay?
[gasping]
Okay.
And in the meantime,
I'm sending the Marshal
to your house to pick up
you and your daughter.
Wait-wait. We're
not home right now,
I-I need to go
and get Lillie.
I'm going to go pick
her up and then we can
meet the Marshal
at my house. Okay?
Okay. Thank you.
[gasping]
Are you okay?
What happened?
I couldn't help
but overhearing
the stalker
changed his identity?
I-I need to go get Lillie
and I need to go home.
I'm sorry. I
need to call her.
She's not answering.
Lillie, Lillie,
if you get this,
please call me back, I'm
coming to get you right now.
I feel like I'm
gonna be sick.
[suspenseful music]
[door closing
upstairs]
[ominous music]
-Hey.
[gasp] I'm sorry. I
just need a minute.
-Sure.
But it seems you found
my deep, dark secret.
What do
you mean?
-That I'm a
sentimental fool.
It's my
granddad's room.
Hey, granted he'll
never see any of these
clothes again, I just
can't bring myself
to get rid
of them.
Look how organized
this guy was.
He was
ex-military.
I'm gonna
miss him.
Did that sketch come
in? Check your email,
maybe-maybe the
sketch has come in.
-Yeah. Yes.
Does he
look familiar?
-No.
The email says that I
need to get to a safe
place and I need to
get rid of my phone.
Yeah. That makes
sense, Emilee.
Okay. Listen, I
know of a cabin
a couple of
hours from here.
My friend
owns it.
If you like, I
can take you there.
-Okay.
Okay. But you have
to do everything
the FBI tells
you to do.
-Okay.
I need to call
Lillie. I...
Call from
my phone, okay?
It's safer.
Call on the way.
Let me take that.
-Okay, we need
to call her.
Okay. Come on...
Come on.
Yeah, that
was the man.
-Okay. Email it to
Camille immediately.
[suspenseful music]
[fire crackling]
[fire crackling]
[car stopping]
Okay. I'll be
back in a minute.
Violet? Violet?
Violet?
-Hi, hi.
Hi. Is this Ashley's
Sweet 16 party?
Yeah, it is. I'm Joy,
her older sister.
Great. I'm here to pick
up my daughter, Violet.
Violet?
-Yeah.
There's no one by
that name here.
Of course
there is.
she was just dropped
off two hours ago.
Violet!
Mom?
Violet!
Mom, what are
you doing here?
-Get your stuff,
we gotta go.
Come on, get
your stuff.
-Okay. Okay.
Violet? I thought
your name was Lillie.
Oh it-it's like
a nickname.
We have to go.
Tell Ashley
I said bye.
Okay?
What's going on?
The phone,
Emilee.
Give me
your phone.
Mom!
Go, I'll
explain later.
Wait, so you're saying
that we have no idea
what Rafael looks
like anymore?
No, sweetie,
we do.
Agent Halloran
texted me a picture
but I didn't
recognize the face.
-Well, can I see it?
The sketch, I mean,
maybe I have seen
him around school
or in town or
something?
No, sweetie. I don't
have the sketch anymore
because I don't
have a phone.
But I'm
telling you,
if Rafael was
at this school,
I would've recognized
him, I know it.
Babe, we're going
someplace safe.
Let's just..
let's both try to get
some sleep, okay?
And I'll just, I'll wake
you when we get there.
Did you tell
Agent Halloran
where we're
going?
No. No.
But as soon as I get
to the cabin, I will.
Hey, it's me.
I'm at the house.
She's not here.
[jarring music]
Hang on a sec...
Oh, man.
I think she's
with him.
They could be miles
from here by now.
If she's even
still alive.
[sinister music]
[coughs]
You're still up?
You're not sleeping?
Oh, no,
I-I can't.
Um, mom, how are
you going to call
Agent Halloran if you
don't have a phone?
-Brian has a phone.
Oh, uh, cool, c-could
I borrow it for a sec?
-Yeah, sure,
of course.
Ugh. It's out
of juice.
Who were you thinking
of calling anyway?
Oh, no one.
I just, um,
I wanted to look at
the news and see if
maybe they caught
Rafael or something.
-Hey, maybe there's
something on the air.
Let's have
a look.
Oh don't-don't
worry about it.
[radio news
station]
Uh, okay, it-it's really
okay, forget about it.
Mm. Actually
though, I am..
I have to pee
really badly,
could-could we pull
over there, please?
That's not
a bad idea.
Hemingway probably
has to pee too.
-Okay.
I'm coming with you just
to make sure it's safe.
Uh, okay.
Come on, Hemingway.
Let's go. Gotta pee?
You're good. You want
me to wait for you?
Oh, no, that's-that's
totally fine. Thank you.
-You sure?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I-I'll be back.
-Okay.
[door slams shut]
[ominous music]
What?
[slams
phone down]
[suspenseful music]
Hey, mom?
How long 'til
we're there?
I don't know.
Don't worry,
we're almost there.
We're
almost there.
It won't
be long.
Hey, mom. Can I just
talk to you for a second?
-Can you help me with the
bag, please, sweetheart?
Uh, sure. I just
need to talk to-
-We really should get
you inside to the cabin.
I think she's
with Hemingway.
-Oh.
Right this way.
You'll be fine.
-Where is she?
Let's get you to your
room. We'll see you later?
-Yeah, I'll meet
you guys inside,
I'm taking
him to pee.
-This way,
right this way.
A little bit of a hike
just to the front.
-Okay.
It's pretty, yeah?
-Mm-hmm.
It's been in my friend's
family for years.
So, this is your room.
What do you think?
-It's, uh, it's
great. Thanks.
Phew. I just have this
really bad headache.
Are you drinking
your water?
Because you really
should be hydrating.
[sinister music]
You. You're...
-Shh.
I have to go
talk to my mom.
I have to
m-mo-...
Shh-shh.
I really.. need to
talk.. to my mom.
Shh.
[door slams shut]
Hey.
-Hey.
How's Lillie?
-She's okay.
She's, uh, all
settled up in her room.
-Oh, good.
-Sound asleep
already.
Can you imagine, no
phone, no internet.
Why stay
awake, yeah?
-Yeah.
Whew.. Brian,
you've been amazing.
It seems like
you're always
coming to
my rescue.
Yeah. just happy to be
some help, actually.
And hey, the
good news is that
no one's going to
find you out here.
Yeah. [sighs]
You know what I would
kill for right now?
-What's that?
A glass of wine.
Hmm. Well, it
just so happens
that I'd kill
for one too.
I'll be
right back.
-Okay.
[door closing]
Here you go.
-Ahh. Thank you.
Thank you,
thank you.
-Sure. Cheers.
Cheers.
[glasses clinking]
[sigh] You know,
as awful as
this whole
thing has been,
it would've been so much
worse without you here.
Well, I'm happy to
hear that because....
Well, look Emilee, I
know I haven't known you
too long, it's only
been a couple of months,
I know that.
But I also know that
we've gotten pretty close
these last couple
of months, yeah?
Yeah.
-Yeah.
And look, maybe it's
because of what we're
going through,
I don't know.
But, what I do know is I
don't want to lose you
and that I
love you.
What are
you doing?
Emilee Connors...
What?
Will you marry me?
I mean, um,
Brian I...
of course I-I feel
the same way, I do,
it's just there's-
there's so much
going on in my life right
now, I don't know if I-I...
Of course, of
course I love you.
But you don't trust
me because of him,
I understand.
No, I do. I will.
I-I do.
Well, I love you.
I love you.
I will marry you.
Yeah?
Yes!
[laughs]
[laughs]
Come here.
-I can't
believe it.
Just give me
your hand.
-I'm shaking.
[laughing]
Now we have a
reason to celebrate.
What did you- did
you bring champagne?
I did.
[giggling]
[suspenseful music]
Camille, I need you to
tell me that you love me.
Why don't you
just put this on?
[ominous music]
Hi.
Where's the
champagne?
Champagne?
Come on, Camille.
Don't you think it's time
we stopped pretending?
What do
you mean?
What am I
talking about?
Hmm.
I mean, it's almost
like we're meant to
meet each other again,
don't you think?
Oh my god. No.
You know
what's funny?
You knew I was looking
for you all along
but you fell in
love with me again.
You changed your
name, your identity,
you moved
around the country
and still you fell
in love with me.
Again.
Shh.
No! Please don't!
please! please!
Please!
Please don't
do this.
I've gotta tell you,
the last couple of months
have been very,
very precious to me.
You were so
suspicious.
You were so withdrawn,
yet day by day you
opened up to me.
You did.
But still I wasn't
sure what you were
gonna say when
I asked you.
But when you
said yes...
that's a memory that you
and will share forever.
Actually, it's a
shame this has to end..
but most
things do.
[clanking]
Auugh!
[fast
suspenseful music]
Violet!
Wake up!
Violet, wake up!
Baby? Baby?
-Camille?
[knocking on door]
Violet!
-Open the door!
[banging]
Violet!
[door crashes open]
[door slams shut]
[gasping
and crying]
You are really ruining
a wonderful moment.
Please...
Don't make me do anything
you're gonna regret.
Do not hurt her!
Do not hurt her,
I will do anything you
want me to, please.
Please.. please.
[suspenseful music]
[spraying]
Auuugh! [bangs
against the door]
[cutting sound]
Ugh.. Uhh..
[gasping]
[blood dripping
to the floor]
[thud]
