Stalked Within (2022) - full transcript

A delusional home security operator (Gary, played by Wes Brown) uses his company's residential interior cameras to spy on a single mom (Sarah, played by Meagan Tandy) as his infatuation turns into a deadly obsession.

How are we gonna do

this without him, Mom?

I know it's hard,

baby, but we're with you.

Hey.

How are you doing?

Fine.

Don't lie to me.

I'm okay.

Things are gonna better, okay?

I promise.

I know.

Love you.

Hey.

Hello.

I'm here to install the

new security system.

Yeah. Come on in.

Okay, thank you.

You have a lot of experience

in our industry, Mr. Meyers.

I would say so.

I began as an installer,

my last company,

and I moved up to IT, so

wherever you need me, I can work.

I guess it's in your blood, huh?

I really love helping

people stay safe.

We're kinda like policemen,

just like my father,

except we're there

before the police.

I think we're the

real first responders.

What made you

leave your last job?

That's a good question.

I think just time for a

fresh start, you know?

I was also growing tired

of the winters in Chicago,

and when I was a kid,

we would visit Atlanta.

My grandmother lived here,

and I've just always loved it.

Well, Gary, you have

everything we're looking for.

Once we get an all-clear

in the background check,

I feel confident that we

can offer you a position

as a command center operator.

That would be

wonderful. Thank you.

Okay, Ms. Greene, almost done.

Just need to mount

the interior cameras,

and they are included with

the smart home package.

Interior what?

Yeah, well, you know, we've got-

Oh yeah, my friend

Sylvia has them,

and she went out of

town and looked in

and saw 30 teenagers

in her house.

Mm-hm.

Granddaughter threw a party.

So Sylvia yelled at him over

the speakers and shut it down.

Yeah, but I don't

have a teenager.

Not yet.

Well, you know, you can

always keep an eye on your son

when he is home

after school too.

How exactly do they work?

I get this a lot.

So, look, they only activate

if the alarm goes off.

The software won't

even allow it.

I don't know.

You get an alert if

anyone ever enters your home

with the alarm on,

and the cameras are just a

great deterrent for criminals.

They make it possible

to scare away suspects,

and we can also ID them

and get 'em off the street.

Cameras actually make

neighborhoods safer.

So it's my civic duty?

Seems like your mom thinks so.

Don't think just 'cause

you're working day shift

you're not gonna see any action.

Most burglaries take

place during the day,

when the homeowners are away.

Okay, back door gets

kicked in, alarm goes off.

What do you do?

Identify the company

and then ask the intruder

to identify himself.

Exactly.

And what happens when

he doesn't answer?

Well, in that case, we would

order him to leave the home

and tell him the

police are on the way.

Okay, let's hear it.

Hm?

Scare this guy off, Gary.

Oh, okay.

Safehouse Home Security!

Identify yourself!

Leave the home now!

Police are on the way!

Leave the home now!

Perfect!

Forceful. Confident.

The guy has no choice but

to run, and that's our goal,

is get the bad guys

outta the house.

No, I'm sick of this crap.

What's wrong?

If I have to eat

another damn salad,

I'm gonna strangle somebody.

I've done that

before. It gets old.

Eat too much salad,

or strangle somebody?

But it's working, though.

I'm down 15 pounds.

- Wow.

- Mm-hm.

- Good for you.

- Thank you.

Gotta pass that

physical assessment

to get hired by the GSBI.

The Georgia State

Bureau of Investigation.

Yeah. Can't pass that

physical with all it is juicy.

So you wanna be an agent?

No, I am an agent. They

just haven't hired me yet.

Hm.

My dad was a cop.

Oh, damn, a cop.

Mm.

You couldn't do

shit growing up, huh?

Hm.

I'm Gary.

I know who you

are. The new guy.

I'm Trina.

The vet.

Seen it all, forgot it,

and seen it all again.

Well, Trina, if the

GSBI doesn't work out,

you should be a standup.

Oh, come on, Kevin!

Sorry about that.

Yeah, Kevin, kinda ruined

this lunch moment over here.

Sorry.

You should be.

Excuse me?

Maybe if you were a

little more considerate,

this place wouldn't

smell like a house fire.

It's not that serious.

Oh, no, it is that serious.

Okay, Gary, it's just popcorn.

Just a little popcorn.

Just a little popcorn.

It's okay.

People are selfish.

You know, I just call

it out when I see it.

My bad, dog.

No, no, no. I'm not your dog.

What is your problem, man?

It's okay. Just

let it go, Kevin.

Just let it go.

Gary!

Making friends and

influencing people

on your first day

of school, huh?

You see, Trina, today

he's burning popcorn,

and then one day he's not

paying attention at his desk,

and someone that needs help

calls him, and they get hurt.

The little things turn

into the big things.

Who the hell are you telling?

I was 115 in high school.

Ha ha! See?

You're hilarious.

Okay, bye, Mom!

Bye, sweetie.

Jalen!

Here you go.

Thanks, Mom.

Sarah?

Oh my God. Frank!

In the flesh!

What the heck are

you doing here?

I moved back here a few

months ago with my son.

I heard about Mark.

I am so sorry.

Thank you.

Well, you look great.

Stop.

Do you have a child here?

A daughter, Zoe.

But I also work here.

Wait, what?

I heard you were managing

some big hedge fund.

I was, but I was miserable.

So I went back to school,

I got my teaching degree,

and now I am Frank Cantos,

sixth grade teacher.

It's actually what I

always wanted to do.

I just never wanted

to admit it to myself.

Wow.

That's great.

Sixth grade is when

math went south for me.

Yeah, we're trying

to save these kids

from a similar fate.

So what have you been up to?

Well, I'm selling

real estate for now.

And then I'm gonna go

back to grad school,

'cause I'm getting

my MFA in writing,

'cause I wanna teach eventually.

Ah, great minds do think alike.

What's your son's name? I'll

keep an eye out for him.

Jalen. He's in

the fourth grade.

Well, if you guys need

anything, let me know.

We will.

Is that your car?

'Cause it's smoking...

a lot.

This is Sarah.

Hey, Mr. Wynn.

Okay.

No, no. That sounds about

right for a head gasket.

Yep, go on and replace it, sir.

Mm-hm. You too.

Get outta here!

Safehouse Security.

Identify yourself.

Intruder, leave the house now!

The police have been called.

Leave the home immediately.

Leave the home now!

Ma'am, are you okay?

I think so.

Good, just stay calm. The

police are on their way.

We have a photo of the suspect.

He will be arrested soon.

I'm gonna stay on

the line with you

until the police arrive, okay?

Is he gone?

Yes, he is gone.

Thank God.

Just try and relax.

Take a deep breath.

I'm not going anywhere.

Thank you.

My name's Gary, by the way.

I'll be right here.

Thank you, Gary.

Copy that.

Ma'am?

Yeah.

We just got word that

we arrested the suspect.

The picture from your security

camera helped us ID him.

That's great news.

Thank you.

Hey, Daddy.

Hey, baby.

You okay?

Better, now that you're here.

It's gonna be all right.

Okay. I'm gonna get

started on the door.

Your sister's on the way, and

your mom is right behind her.

Thank you.

We're gonna take

care of it, baby.

Thank you, Daddy.

All right.

Girl, I mean, that's scary.

He was terrifying, Kelci.

You need a gun.

Yeah, like the one you have?

I didn't just have

my house broken into.

Not yet.

Girl, I live on a

condo on the 17th floor.

Burglars can use elevators.

Mm-mm. Too many cameras.

Well, that's how they arrested

the guy who busted in here.

They found his

picture on the cameras

that Mom told me to get.

I hate it when she's right.

Get in line.

Hello, this is Sarah.

Hello, Ms. Greene.

This is Heidi Malone.

I'm the VP of Marketing

for Safehouse Security.

Oh, hi, Heidi.

I hope you're doing okay.

What you went through

was terrifying.

Yeah. You have no idea.

Well, thank goodness you

had one of our systems.

Yeah.

Honestly, I'm just so glad

that you guys were here.

Or, there.

You know what I mean.

Sarah, I'm calling today to

see if you would be interested

in telling your story.

To whom, exactly?

Well, we'd love to let

you describe what happened

in a Safehouse Commercial.

Oh, I don't know.

I'm really camera shy.

Well, you wouldn't have

anything to worry about.

You'd just be yourself.

I don't know.

Let me say one more thing.

We do compensate for

your time. $10,000.

Tell us how

Safehouse made a difference

in your life that day.

Without Safehouse, I

might not be here right now.

The operator who scared

away the intruder

immediately took control of

a very dangerous situation.

Well, I have a surprise for you.

This is Gary Meyers,

the agent on your

break-in call that day.

Wait, what?

Gary?

My hero!

Wow. Thank you so much.

You're welcome.

I did not see this coming today.

It's so great to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

I don't know what would've

happened if you didn't answer.

I'm just happy I

was there to help her.

Gary, tell us who you are

and what happened that day.

Sure, sure.

My name's Gary Meyers.

I'm an operator at

Safehouse Security,

and I was at my desk.

It was about 1:30 in the

afternoon and I got an alert

that Ms. Greene's

alarm was going off.

I don't know what you're

worried about. You're a natural,

The camera loved you.

You gave us every...

It was great.

Thank you so much

for everything.

We'll talk to you soon.

Yes. Okay.

Bye.

Hey.

Whoa.

Security guy scares

a hell of you, of course.

No, no, no. It's

fine.

I just wanna tell you,

you were great today.

I mean, really captivating.

Well, so were you, Gary.

And it's so great to

meet you in person.

Yeah? Not a...

little disappointed?

Not at all.

You know what was crazy is,

the day you were broken into,

that was my first

day on the job.

What?

Yeah.

I'm your first call?

You were.

Well, you're a natural.

What were you doing

before Safehouse?

Security in Chicago,

and then Safehouse recruited

me to be VP of Operations,

which basically means

I spend about a month

in each department, undercover,

and I address what

the company needs.

Nice.

Yeah. Don't tell anymore.

Our secret.

I'm sorry.

I know you got a lot of

people to say goodbye to,

and I don't wanna hold you up,

but it's really

great meeting you.

You, too, Gary.

Yeah, that sounds like

a really good idea.

But I'm gonna meet up with

Kelci at Java Den in the morning

and then I need to

go to the office.

Yeah, I have showings also.

Okay, okay. Yes.

Once an elementary

school principal,

always an elementary

school principal.

Okay.

Love you, Mom. Bye.

But, you know.

I mean, I'm glad to see

you, and how's Jalen doing?

He's doing good.

He's doing good.

He's a little, we're

still a little shaken up,

but it's fine.

What about...

Sarah?

Oh!

Gary!

Yeah.

Hey!

Good to see you.

This is my sister, Kelci.

How you doing, Kelci. Gary.

Oh.

I see beauty runs in the family.

Well, it's nice to meet you.

You as well.

And thanks for looking

out for my big sis.

Very glad I was there to help.

Us too.

Yeah, well, I can't

believe I ran into you today.

I'm actually just

grabbing a coffee,

looking at some neighborhoods.

I'm buying a place.

Oh.

Well, if you need an agent,

that's how I earn my living.

Really?

I haven't hired anyone yet.

Maybe we could talk

after I'm done looking.

Sounds great.

Okay.

Let me give you my card.

Yeah.

Great. Yeah.

All right. I'll give you

a shot later this week.

Okay.

Nice to meet you, Kelci.

You too.

He seems nice.

You can get some coins too.

Exactly. That's

what I'm saying.

Let me get my commission.

Tell us who you

are and what happened that day.

My name's Gary Meyers.

I'm an operator at

Safehouse Security,

and I was at my desk, it was

about 1:30 in the afternoon,

and I got an alert...

You show like watching yourself

with that pretty lady

on the commercial, huh?

No.

No, I was just...

seeing what I could do better.

You know.

They're talking about making

me a Safehouse spokesperson.

Say what?

Oh, you!

You almost got me that time!

I don't know why I

listen to you.

Hi, Sarah. I'm

sorry that I'm late.

On the phone with our CEO.

That guy can talk for days,

just on and on and on, so...

It's not a problem.

You must be so busy learning

how Safehouse operates.

So what department do

you have to go to next?

What do you mean?

You know, you said

you have to spend time

in all the departments.

Yes. I did.

IT is next.

It's not really my thing.

You know, I'm more of

a people person, but...

IT.

So how are you

liking Atlanta so far?

Loving it.

You know, I've actually

never been here

until they brought

me down to interview,

and I don't have a lot of

family left in Chicago,

and my mom just moved

to a place on the beach

in Sarasota, Florida.

Wow.

Yeah, she's a retired school

superintendent of 20 years.

Wait, what?

Mm.

So my mom was an educator too.

Elementary school principal.

Well there you go.

Teachers' kids. Crazy.

Well, I'm glad things

are working out so far.

Thank you.

All right, so, tell me what

you're looking for home-wise.

We've got size, budget,

house versus condo.

Lay it on me.

Yeah, definitely a house,

something renovated but

big enough to grow into,

maybe a nice yard.

I can definitely see

myself settling down.

Start up a family.

Let's get to know what you want.

Words to live by.

Well, I definitely have a

few properties I can show you.

That's wonderful.

As far as price, I would say

Safehouse pays pretty well,

so $700,000 range.

Well, I will pull some listings.

But before I move forward,

I'll need to get your

pre-qualification letter.

Of course, yeah.

Definitely qualified.

Nice.

Well, I look forward

to receiving it.

You're really

good at what you do.

Thanks.

I mean the way you

connect with people.

And so do you, Gary.

That's why we make a great team.

I am sorry how we met though.

Yeah.

You know, the...

The thought of my son

going through life

possibly without either

of his parents, it just...

He still has you.

Yeah.

He does.

Well, I hate to rush,

but I have a showing in

30 minutes across town,

so we'll continue this later?

I look forward to it.

Okay.

This place is incredible.

So I know it's at the

top of your price range,

but it's been on the

market for a little while,

so they may be flexible.

Well, I'm all about a good deal.

Never hurts to make an offer.

Certainly doesn't.

Let me show you the living room.

Well, I could get used to this.

It's a pretty view.

Yes, it is.

I really like this one, Sarah.

I mean, I'd like to see

some other to compare,

but this is top of the list.

I'll pull some

more for us to see.

I'm starving. You wanna

maybe get something to eat?

I'm sorry, I don't

think I can today,

but maybe some other time?

Yeah. Sure.

Some other time.

Hey, baby.

Hey, Mom.

It's good to see you.

You too.

It's a hundred degrees in here.

Oh, well, chemo makes

my blood thin, I guess.

How's that going?

Oh, it's killing

me, but what ain't?

Jesus, they even allow

you to smoke in here.

What are they gonna do,

put me out on the street?

It'd be an upgrade.

Okay, fine. I'll put it out.

There.

I'm sorry I haven't

been by sooner.

Oh, well.

Not much to see here.

Makes me miss Chicago.

Not me.

That woman ever press charges?

Jesus.

No, not if I left town.

That was the deal.

You know that.

Ah.

Just like when you

were in high school,

and you almost killed

that poor girl.

I'm always cleaning

up your mess.

You are so much

like your father.

He couldn't beat the devil

outta you, but he'd sure try.

I didn't almost...

kill that girl, and I

am nothing like him.

Okay. You tell yourself that.

I didn't come

here for this shit.

Fine.

Are you staying outta trouble?

Yeah, Mom, I am.

I, uh...

got a really good job.

I, uh...

I met a lady.

She's a...

She has a kid. It's nice.

Things are really

working out for us.

We're talkin' about

getting married next year.

Yeah.

A woman ain't never

kept you outta trouble.

Kinda the opposite, baby.

Well, it's a different

environment this time.

Where you are don't

change who you are.

Except this time, maybe it does.

You saw...

so much.

No wonder you...

I should've left your

father when you were young.

I regret that more

than anything.

You were the

sweetest little baby,

but you didn't stand a chance.

Christ, please don't do

this shit right now, mom.

I still can't see

right because of him.

Well maybe he

wouldn't have hit you

if you shut your fucking

mouth every now and then!

I'm sorry.

Why do you hate me?

I don't hate you, Mom.

I don't hate you.

Here. Find something

to watch on TV.

Good job today, honey.

Thanks, Mom.

Remember to stretch.

Bye!

I'll bring his bag around three.

Have fun.

I will.

Frank!

Hey!

I didn't know your

little guy played.

He lives for it.

You coach?

Yep. My daughter's team.

We're not very good, but

we have a lot of fun.

That's all that matters.

Yeah, tell it to the parents.

Hey, I don't know if

you're busy tonight,

but I'm meeting some

friends for drinks

at this spot in Edgewood.

Super casual. You

should join us.

That might be fun.

Look, you've been through

so much. I can't even imagine.

When Erica and I

split up last year,

it was really rough for a while.

But you gotta get out. You

can't isolate yourself.

Friends can help.

Okay.

I'll think about it.

Okay.

Screw it.

Let's do this.

♪ If you're watching me

♪ Pull up across the room

♪ I think you like the view

♪ You gonna make a move

♪ I don't make a

scene scene for you ♪

- Cheers

- Cheers.

Don't look now, but you've

been having a really good time.

Oh, is it that obvious?

It's really good to

see you smiling again.

Thank you. That means a lot.

I'm glad you came out tonight.

Me too. You know,

I needed this.

I know.

I would love to do

this again sometime.

- Me too.

- Yeah?

Yeah.

How about this, how about we...

of course, babysitter

dependent. you know?

Yeah. Gotta have a babysitter.

Maybe next Saturday,

some tea, maybe some

live music somewhere.

- That sounds like fun.

- Yeah?

- Let's do it.

- Cool.

All right.

So take your time, look around.

You're gonna love the basement.

There's a sauna and a

nice gym down there.

I'll be here if you

have any questions.

Okay.

Wow, Sarah, this

is a nice place.

Congratulations on this listing.

Gary?

You know I've left you

a few messages, right?

Yes.

I'm sorry. I've just

been crazy busy at work.

You know, coming

up with a strategy

to reorganize this

company, it's just...

But I went to your website,

and I saw that you were

gonna be here today,

so I thought maybe we

could speak in person.

Okay.

I think I wanna

wait on the house.

I really don't want

to rush into anything.

And especially if

you're my agent,

I don't want to

complicate things.

Complicate things?

Like if you and

I were to go out.

Gary, look...

You know I think

you're a great person.

And you know I

appreciate very much

what you did for me on

the day of the break-in,

but I don't mix my business

life with my personal life.

I understand.

It's just that...

you and I went through something

together that day, Sarah.

And when I saw you,

I felt a connection.

I feel a connection.

I think you feel one too.

Anyone could have answered

the alarm that day,

but they didn't.

It was me.

Gary. I-

Sarah, if we could just put

the real estate stuff aside

and just, you know, I would

love to take you to dinner.

I really would, just dinner.

You know, see how it goes.

I think you'd have

really good time.

I'm sorry.

I can't.

You can.

You just don't want.

Good luck to you, Sarah.

I wonder how Jalen

and Daddy are doing.

Remember when he used

to take us fishing?

Mm-hm.

I low key hated that shit.

Bro, it wasn't that bad.

Whatever.

Oh, hey, you wanna

go get pizza tonight?

I can't.

Mm.

No, you're a liar. Tell me.

I'm not a liar.

It's none of your business.

You better tell me,

or I will make it my business

to get on every last

one of your nerves.

Remember Frank Cantos?

I graduated with him.

Fine ass Frank?

So, I ran into him

at Jalen's school,

and then again at

Jalen's soccer game,

and he invited me

out to join him

and a bunch of friends

for drinks, so I went.

And you didn't tell me?

I was going to.

So you're going

out with him tonight?

Yeah.

He got any cute friends?

I'll ask.

So tell me about your daughter.

Oh, man, Zoe?

Oh, well she's got

a beautiful laugh,

and she draws me

pictures of unicorns.

And even though she's not

very skilled at soccer,

she tries very hard,

which makes me very happy,

'cause I know she's

strong and she's tough.

She cares.

That's so beautiful.

When Erica left, it was

just me and her for a while.

Left?

Yeah, she decided that

my teacher lifestyle

wasn't gonna cut it.

She wanted the hedge

fund lifestyle,

so she moved to LA with an

NFL player, and I kept Zoe.

She came back last year.

We have joined custody now.

But it was just me

and her for a while.

It was a tough stretch.

Can't imagine.

Well, you had it a lot worse.

One second, Mark is jogging..

The next second, I'm

getting a call that he...

I'm so sorry.

Oh.

This can only be one person.

Yep, we conjured

drew up. It's Zoe.

Hello?

Hey, honey.

Oh no, no, no.

I'm really sorry. I

don't know what happened.

I mean, she was

fine when I left,

and now she's thrown

up like three times.

Get your rag and a

bucket ready, pops.

Yeah. Thanks.

Yeah. I'm sorry.

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm so...

Hey, you're the lady!

Yeah.

I work for

Safehouse. I'm Trina.

I said that's the pretty

lady from the commercial!

Nice to meet you. I'm Sarah.

Hey! Nice to meet you too.

Well, hold on. Now you

look familiar as hell.

Yeah? Frank Cantos.

Frank? I know you!

I used to play ball with

your sister, Danielle.

You used to come to the games!

Wait, you went to Brady Hills?

And you know this!

I remember you.

Yeah, you could play!

Just a little point

guard action, you know?

But you can't remember

all of that, you know.

Look, do me a favor.

Tell Danielle I said hey.

I will.

Now, I don't know what's

going on right here,

but y'all make a

cute little couple.

Ooh!

Y'all cute. Y'all

have a good day, okay?

Hey, Frank. How's it going?

Okay, the globe?

Yeah, no, that sounds amazing.

Saturday at 7:00?

Yeah, let's do it.

Oh, no, you can have the bread.

I am trying to stay

away from cards.

- What? It's so good!

- Nope. All You.

Oh.

Wait, what is this?

Compliments of the

gentleman at the bar.

What?

Oh my God.

Who's that?

You're about to find out.

How you doing Sarah?

Great.

Gary.

Gary.

Frank Cantos.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you,

Frank Cantos. Yeah.

Gary's from Safehouse.

Yeah, I saw the commercial.

Good work, man.

Thank you. Thank you.

Yeah, Sarah and I,

we're kinda like a...

local famous, I think

you would call us, right?

Hm.

Maybe.

Well, thank you for the drinks.

Yeah. Thank you, Gary.

Thank you so much.

You're very welcome.

I saw you two walk

in, and I thought...

that's the least I can do.

Thanks.

Did Sarah happen to tell you

that she used to be

my real estate agent?

No, she did not.

She didn't?

Frank, I couldn't make up

my damn mind on anything.

I wanted to tell you, though,

I put in a offer today on this

gorgeous place in Midtown.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

And when you two walked in, I

thought I owe Sarah a drink,

because she spent so much time

and all those hours

helping me find a place,

and then someone else got

that big commission, you know?

Yeah, well, that's just

how it goes sometimes,

so it's cool.

I guess so.

Well, Gary, thank you

again for the drinks.

We really appreciate it.

You are welcome, Frank.

What do you do?

I'm a teacher.

Wow.

It's a shame you guys don't

get paid what you deserve.

Don't you agree?

Yeah, well, I definitely

don't do it for the money.

That right there.

I need to be more like that.

Great.

Well, Gary, we're about

to dive into our food,

but maybe we'll see

you around town.

Yeah.

Absolutely. And

sorry to intrude.

Next time, dinner

is on me though.

Sure.

You guys have a great night.

Nice to meet you, Frank.

You too. Same here.

Yeah, he's a little intense.

A little?

Excuse me, can we

have the check please?

Oh, no need, sir.

The gentleman that bought your

drinks earlier paid for it.

Are you sure?

Very. He left a nice tip too.

That was a lot of wine.

Oh, yes, it was.

Yeah.

But, hey, thank you so much.

This was a lot of fun.

You know, I've been wanting

to hang out with you like this

since ninth grade.

Yeah right.

You didn't even know

me in the ninth grade.

Oh, I knew who you were.

You were this pretty...

smart...

quiet girl...

who was secretly a lot of fun.

I think you have me confused.

No.

No confusion here.

I'll see you later?

Yes, ma'am.

Yeah, I got it.

I haven't

seen you glowing like this

in a long time.

Mom.

Grinning like a teenager.

He was a nice boy

in high school.

He still is.

Good.

You deserve to be happy.

No, I don't.

What's wrong?

The day Mark died...

we had a fight.

He said he was gonna go

for a run to cool off.

And so my last words to him...

were, "You can go for a run"

and never come back

for all I care."

All couples say things

in the heat of the moment.

It's not your fault.

Really?

'Cause he was dead

10 minutes later...

running away from me.

He had a heart issue. It

could have happened anytime.

Yeah, but it didn't.

Baby, you have to

forgive yourself.

It's been over a year.

You deserve a life.

You boys are gonna be pros.

You know how I know?

Used to play for Barcelona.

You know Messi?

Do I know Messi?

He was my roommate.

Wow! Can you

show us some stuff?

You know, I could,

but I hurt my knee real

bad during the World Cup.

Oh.

But what I can do, we

can go over the big field.

I can take a video

of you guys shooting

and send it to some

coaches I know.

Really?

Absolutely.

Cool!

Just let me tell my mom

where to pick us up.

Sounds good.

Hey, sweetie. What's going on?

Wait, what?

No, Kim's supposed to

be picking you up today.

It says it on my calendar.

Wait, hold on baby.

Okay, I'm sorry.

I don't know what happened,

but I'm on my way, okay?

No, don't go to the big field.

Stay on your field.

I'm on my way.

Great.

Remember, it's

all about control.

That's all right.

That's all right.

Keep it up. Here we go.

Perfect.

All right, just keep

practicing just like that.

All right, Jalen,

great meeting you boys.

You keep practicing

what I showed you, okay?

Thanks!

See you soon.

Hey!

You are not gonna believe who

I bumped into the other day.

The pretty lady

from the commercial!

Woo, she was with

fine ass Frank!

I was like, I used to play ball

with his sister or whatever,

but he had like a little

beard, he was tall now,

and they looked like

a cute little couple.

I was like...

What'd you eat for lunch?

- Yeah.

- Yay, good job!

You did so good today.

I'm so proud of you.

What a nice surprise this is.

Gary.

Wait, is this your son?

Yeah, he sure is.

Mom, this is the guy

who played with Messi!

Wait, what?

Yeah, I was jogging in

the park the other day,

and I saw this little man and

his friend playing soccer,

and I decided to

show him some stuff.

That's crazy. I didn't know

he was your son though.

Looks like you won the

championship today. All right!

Sure did.

Okay, Jalen, honey, go

get in the car please.

I wanna talk to Gary

about when he played pro.

He didn't.

Please go get in the car.

Yes, ma'am.

That's a great

kid you got there.

So of all the kids in this city,

you happen to run into mine?

Sarah, calm down.

This isn't right.

You're following me.

I think maybe you'd feel better

if me, you, and Jalen

went to the park-

You stay away from us!

And if you ever come

near my son again,

I'll take your ass down!

Yeah, no.

I know.

Hey, hey, go play.

I'll be right over there, okay?

Yeah, no, it's crazy, right?

So, yeah, his team

meeting, it's in an hour,

then I'm coming home, I am

grabbing a glass of this cab,

taking a long bath, and

I'm gonna watch some TV.

No, I know, I know.

Wait, wait, listen.

I gotta tell you something.

There's something going

on with Safehouse Gary.

No, no, no. Listen, listen.

He's showing up everywhere I go.

Yeah, it's weird.

He even showed up at

Jalen's soccer practice

when I wasn't even there.

Are you serious?

It's strange. I just...

That's more than strange.

Yeah, no, I think

he's following me.

If he's following you,

I think you need to report it.

Yeah, I think I will.

Yes,

immediately. Do it.

- All right.

- I love you.

- Bye.

- Bye

Safehouse Security.

Hi. I need to speak

to a supervisor please.

I'm one of your customers.

One moment.

This is Dan.

Hello.

You have an issue?

Yes.

I need to file a complaint

about one of your employees.

How can I help you?

So one of your

operators has been showing up

everywhere I go, and I don't

think it's a coincidence.

Well, are you sure?

Yes.

He even showed up at my

son's soccer practice,

and I wasn't there.

What's the name of the employee?

Gary Meyers.

Gary?

Yes, Gary.

Well, ma'am, I'm

sorry you feel that way.

Gary's one of our

best employees,

and I'm sure there's

an explanation.

I'll get to the bottom

of it. I'll talk to him.

Can I get your name and

contact information?

Sure.

My name's Sarah Greene.

The number is 382-1240.

Yeah, okay. Got it.

I'll look into this, and

I'll give you a call back.

Whatever we need to

do to keep you safe.

Thank you.

Jalen, come on. Shower time.

Yes, ma'am.

Mm-hm. No video

games till after.

- Yes, ma'am.

- Uh-huh.

Hey, Frank.

Yeah.

I just took a long

bath, and I'm in bed.

I'm feeling pretty good.

Wait, what?

You just got tickets?

I haven't been to

a play in so long.

That sounds like

such a good idea.

Yeah. Yeah, Tuesday sounds good.

Hey, you know, I am so tired.

Yeah, okay, I need to

go to bed, but Tuesday?

Okay.

All right. You too.

Goodnight.

Mom?

Mom?

Mom?

Mom?

Mom!

Mom, are you okay?

Mom, what's wrong?

Mom?

What the hell?

You've always been a

lightweight, but this is crazy.

Sarah, what happened?

I had some wine, and

then I was out cold, but...

I was tired, but not that tired.

Could it be spiked?

What?

Well, your mom watches a

lot of those true crime shows.

No one has been in your house?

No.

Wait, I know.

It was the guy at the vineyard.

He tracked the bottle

back to Sarah's house

so he could sneak in and

take advantage of her.

Okay, y'all make jokes.

You guys, the only person

who's been here is Jalen.

Oh! He did it.

More jokes. Okay.

That's fine.

Better call Forensic Files.

Hey, Gary...

you got a minute?

Yeah.

Ooh, yo ass in trouble.

So, I've spoken

with HR about this,

and we've made a decision.

Okay.

We think you have what it takes

to become the new Command

Center Assistant Director here.

Congratulations. You've

been doing great work.

Thank you.

Got your ass fired, huh?

No, actually, not quite.

Probation.

Does start with a "P".

Then what?

Got promoted.

Oh, Mr. Meyers.

We've been calling you.

I'm so, so sorry.

Your mother passed

away a few hours ago.

Please let us know

you need anything.

Yeah, I'm really excited

to see this play tonight.

Yeah, I'll see you in an hour.

Okay.

Bye.

Jalen, did you

move this picture?

Enjoy the play, bitch.

Ooh, Gary.

I done caught your lyin' ass.

Yo daddy wasn't no cop.

He was a damn inmate.

Oh.

Oh, hell no.

Frank, it's Sarah.

Where are you?

I've been calling,

I've been texting.

You're not responding.

This is ridiculous.

I'm done.

Donald.

Donald, how long have

we known each other?

Since the third grade when

you tried to be my girlfriend?

Well, I had very bad

taste in men back then.

Obviously.

Who told you about this job,

and walked your very

thin resume into HR?

You did, Trina.

You did.

Yes, I did.

And have I ever asked

you for anything?

You had me run

a background check

on that guy who asked

you outta a while back.

And ain't you glad I did?

That guy was shady. Remember?

Never date a man named Kash.

Who spells it with a "K".

So, what do you need now?

Look, you know that

new guy, Gary Meyers?

Something is up with his ass.

I can't quite put

my finger on it,

but his shit ain't straight.

Isn't he about to

be the assistant-

Shh.

- Director?

- Yes.

He been here two months.

I've been here five years.

They haven't even offered

me a raise in all that time.

Are you kidding me? I'm

damn good at my job.

I know you are.

He told me his dad was a cop.

Lies, 'cause I looked it up.

His daddy had been in and outta

jail for all kinds of stuff,

even whooping Gary mama's ass.

Oh, and the other

day I saw his phone.

This motherfucker had a

tracking app on his phone.

Who has that?

Who, huh? Who?

He either a spy or a psycho.

It sound like you doing

some spyin' on your own.

Well, I'm an investigator.

There's a difference.

Look, I need you to see what

he been doing on company time.

You gonna find me a new job

when they fire me

for doing this?

How they gonna fire you and

you wrote all the damn codes?

Please?

Give me his email address.

Pow.

Yes.

Yeah, Kelci, I just got

back from the hospital.

Yeah. How's he doing?

He's gonna be okay,

but it's just so scary.

So crazy.

I feel so bad for him.

He could have died, but...

I don't know, you're just

not safe anywhere these days.

Breakfast for big boys.

Just for you.

Gotta eat it all up, okay?

Okay.

Mom, I heard

something last night,

and I think I saw

somebody outside my door.

You were just dreaming.

No, I wasn't.

Jalen.

Honey, it was nothing.

If somebody were in the house,

the alarm would've

gone off, okay?

And don't forget, your grandma's

gonna pick you up today

after school to take you

to the soccer tournament.

Yes, ma'am.

Okay.

Love you.

Damn, Gary.

What'd you do, spend

the night at the club?

VIP.

Look like you

ain't slept in days.

Oh, no, I'm fine.

Just a long night.

Okay, well, since

you're such the partier,

give you your email,

so I can send you an invite

to my birthday party.

Sure.

Oh, damn, man.

How you feeling?

A little sore,

but it'll be okay.

Well, I'm sure the

other guy looks worse.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Look, I won't keep you long.

I just came past to let you know

I was checking my

security cameras,

and one of my cameras comes

to end of your driveway,

and you can see this guy near

the street taking off a mask.

- Oh.

- Yeah.

So what I'll do is I'll email

you the link of the footage,

and maybe we'll show

'em to the police.

Thanks, Lynne. Yeah,

that will be a big help.

Yeah.

All right, Frank, take care

of yourself, man, all right?

Yeah.

You look horrible.

Sorry. Sorry.

Now way.

This can't be.

Donald, do me a favor

and look him up.

See what kind of car he drives.

A black SUV.

Of course he does.

And get this.

What?

This dude hacked

into a Safehouse account

and created a back door.

He's been watching her

through the cameras.

I knew it.

He turned

the system off at night

at least three times.

I think he's going in the

house while she's there.

You know what, just

let me call you back.

Hello.

Hey, Frank, this is Trina

from Safehouse Security.

Oh, thank you, but I don't need-

No, no, no. That's

not why I'm calling.

Look, I met you a

couple days ago.

Remember, I ran into you

guys? I'm Danielle's friend.

Oh yeah. Hey Trina.

Look, now this

might sound crazy,

but I got some information

that you might need.

Look, we don't know if

he's gonna do anything crazy.

He already has!

I mean violent!

Look, we have to call

her Dan, and the police!

She's right!

If it gets out that an employee

is spying on a customer,

then this company's toast.

We won't have jobs.

She's in danger, man!

We're not gonna do anything

until I speak to management.

And then it may

already be too late!

Come on, Sarah,

answer the phone.

Come on, answer.

I know he's at her house.

Come on. You gotta get in.

Wow.

You look beautiful.

Gary, what the hell

are you doing here?

I'm taking care of you.

Sarah.

Try and relax. There's no

need to get freaked out.

I thought I'd make

you nice dinner.

I bought some beautiful fillets.

Sit.

Have some wine.

Gary. I need you to leave.

Leave?

This is our home.

Why would I leave?

We're spending an

evening together.

Okay.

Just one glass of wine.

Much better.

He's there. I can feel it.

Are you close?

I'm trying.

How was your day?

It was fine.

Closing was okay?

I wanted to ask, how's...

Frank.

Cantos.

How's he doing?

Frank is fine.

That's great.

Why are you afraid, Sarah?

I'm here to help you.

I'm here to look after you.

So, cheers.

Here's to a wonderful evening.

Jalen's with your mother,

and we have the house

all to ourselves.

Yeah, um...

I'm so sorry for how I reacted.

This is...

so romantic.

You don't have to apologize.

You just needed to

give me a chance.

Hm?

Ever since the

day we had coffee...

Mm-hm.

I haven't been able to

stop thinking about you.

I can't fight this anymore.

No! No!

Gary, stop!

Gary, no!

Get off!

Gary, no!

Gary, no!

You're mine, Sarah!

You should be grateful!

Fuck it, I'm calling the police.

I need to report a

robbery in progress.

Yeah, they'll be

there in two weeks.

Well, I should go over

there and fuck him up myself!

It's rush hour on a

Well then I need you to get in!

You wanna do this?

Oh, okay. Okay. I'm sorry.

Just go.

No!

Stop!

Stop, please!

Come on baby. Come on.

I'm coming after you next.

How 'bout that?

Good job, Sarah! Yes!

Okay, look, you

need to leave now!

Get outta that house

now before he wakes up!

No.

I'm good.

If he wakes up, I've got

something for his ass.

All right, well, look,

I need you to hold onto that

skillet just in case he does.

All right?

Look, the police

are on their way

and we've unlocked

all the doors.

Oh my God!

That was crazy!

That was nuts!

Are you...

Nice work.

Mm!

Textbook deescalation technique.

Ooh, I told you, your

girl got skills, man!

And you do, too, my friend.

She fucked him up

with that skillet.

Didn't she?

I got to go buy

me a damn skillet.

392-1240.

So crazy. I can't

believe this happened.

Are you okay?

Frank.

You're not hurt? You

need to go to the hospital?

I'm okay.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so, so sorry.

Enjoy prison, bitch.

No, I ain't rich.

It's not fancy.

A bottle of white for you.

- Thanks, babe.

- Thank you.

She's teasing me

about your cheese,

What's wrong with my cheese.

Awesome.

Can I just say...

thank you guys for this.

This is so beautiful.

Thanks for having me over.

Girl, you are family now.

You kidding me? After

everything we've been through?

Oh, we're bonded for life.

And you know this, man!

Oh.

But what I did notice...

you took the cameras outta here.

You know, we've decided to go

a more traditional home

security route.

Right, Zeus?

Yeah, 'cause ain't

nobody coming up here

with that big old beast.

- Nope.

- Definitely not.

And I am so glad Safehouse did

what they were supposed to

do with that settlement.

Yeah, me too.

Now I can just go to grad

school and get my MFA

and not worry about how

many houses I gotta sell.

I know that's right.

And can we just toast to that

crazy bastard being in jail?

Amen.

- Yes.

- Please.

Hey.

You all right?

I'm real good.

And you guys are

just so stinkin' cute.

God!

Hey, man, you good.

Damn, man, is that your girl?

She fine as hell.

That's her.

You got the

cameras on her and shit?

I like keep an eye on

things while I'm away.

Damn right, man.

You got to have that

strong home security.

Psycho.

Uh-oh. She all up

in that camera, man.

I think she done found it.

No.

She doesn't have a clue.
