Stalked Within (2022) Movie Script

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 filets.
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.
Open your eyes
What can you see around
Wind of the open sky
Would you care to dance?
Over the siren sound
Sure.
This is a dream
Get in the royal's car
Holding a diamond blade
You smell so good
Throwing it far
Yeah, I've just been afraid
of trusting my feelings.
We don't have to worry
about any of that now.
Just sick
You know, Gary...
I have a confession.
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
Friday. This is our best bet.
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.
Are you in?
There!
Nothing's happening.
You watch too many crime shows.
Gary, get off of her!
Get off of her now!
Gary!
Nothing's happening!
What if he can't hear me?
I don't know! I don't know!
Sarah, get up
girl. Get up, Sarah.
We're out of time, man!
I know.
Why can't you do what
I say so we can be happy?
Okay. I'm in.
Thank God.
It's Trina, Gary.
Leave the house now!
Leave the house now!
Gary, you don't
wanna hurt Sarah.
You're better than
this. Come on now.
Leave the house now.
Police are on their way.
Trina...
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.
Man, you a crafty
motherfucker.
Open your eyes
What can you see around
Wind of the open sky
