The Salacity (2026) Movie Script
[heavy breathing]
[heavy breathing continues]
[door clicks shut]
Honey, I'm home.
[gunshot]
[motorcycle engine hums]
[footsteps approaching]
[tape seals]
[gentle music plays]
And another sex tape?
[lighter clicks]
Good morning, sir.
Not for them, is it?
- Sir?
- I'm sorry. Bad joke.
What do we know?
Not a lot.
Is it what it looks like?
Murder-suicide?
- Yes, but...
- Sergeant Chiam,
are we going to find
another sex tape on that laptop?
Forensics and
tech are on their way.
As soon as they can,
we'll find out what's on the laptop.
This would be what,
the third case that we know of?
Sir, we don't know.
Yes, we do.
[upbeat music plays]
[bus engine revs]
Excuse me. Is something wrong?
Are you looking for
some place special?
As a matter of fact, I am.
I'm... I'm looking for
God's house.
Can't seem to find it.
God's house? You mean a temple?
No. I mean God's flat.
Um, I was told
he lives on this street.
I'm afraid I don't understand.
God lives in
one of these buildings, you know?
These buildings we are passing.
Some say God is everywhere.
Some are full of shit.
God has a flat on this block,
just like the people
behind those windows, you know?
The ones that
are laying now in bed
and grabbing a quick
fuck before going to work.
He's probably getting
a quick fuck himself.
God invented fucking, you know?
Probably took him
a lot of trial and error.
Guess he wouldn't mind
that part though,
poking it in
one hole after another.
Yeah.
He probably enjoyed
the experimentation.
Why would you say
such a blasphemous thing?
It's not a blasphemy,
balderdash, or baloney.
It's just God
and those big balls of his.
[bus brakes hiss]
[door knocks]
Coming!
[door slides open]
Yes?
Hello, ma'am.
It's Yasin Mobile Shop.
- We got a complaint.
- Oh, yes.
- Please, come in.
- Thank you.
Uh...
- Where's the router?
- Ah, there.
Oh.
[footsteps approaching]
[bag thuds]
[bag zips open]
[gentle music plays]
[box thuds]
[box clicks open]
[screw tightening]
Is this your husband?
Huh? Yeah.
[glass clinks]
I hope you can figure it out.
The whole house runs off that.
[glass clinks]
The internet
was doing fine, and then, suddenly,
- you know...
- No problem.
[glass clinks]
You seem to be very sure.
Whatever your problem is,
I can fix it.
[glass clinks]
[glass taps the table]
- Do you want some water?
- Yes, water, please.
[bottle cap twists off]
[water pours into a glass]
[box clicks shut]
[bottle slides]
Miss,
could you please check?
It should be working.
That quick?
Do you not like a quickie?
Mm.
It was just a bad connector.
[screen taps]
Yes,
it's working. Fantastic.
What do I owe you?
I'll give you
my details, and...
[beep]
This is the invoice.
[notification beeps]
Okay.
Is your husband famous?
No. Why?
[box lid closes]
I feel like I've met him.
[box clicks shut]
I seriously doubt it.
Where would that be?
I provide
a variety of services to
a variety of clients.
[bag zips shut]
I'm sure you do.
Services like home monitoring,
digital forensics,
cybersecurity.
And what would that
have to do with my husband?
He sells sailboats,
yachts to rich foreigners.
And if I remember correctly,
he prefers woman on top.
Yeah, I remember he said,
'If I had to do
all the job in the office,
I don't want to do
all the job in bedroom.'
[sighs]
[message notification chimes]
Oh.
Thank you, ma'am.
If you require anything else...
I require proof.
You got my details.
[soft music]
[knock at the door]
You were correct, sir.
This is going to make me
happy then, isn't it?
It appears that the woman,
alleged murderer,
was watching a sex tape
of the alleged victim.
[pen taps the table]
Certainly not alleged,
Sergeant Chiam.
It has been confirmed
as the husband.
[tense music builds]
And the sex tape?
Do you really
want to view it, sir?
No, thank you.
Who was in the video
with the husband,
who I promise you
is a confirmed victim?
Young woman,
probably a local
Mauritian descent,
identity unknown.
But not the wife?
Not the wife.
I can fetch the video
if you'd like...
And this is number three.
That we know about,
- or that have had fatal outcomes.
- In three months.
We need to find a link.
Three is not a
coincidence, Sergeant.
Get tech to
cross-reference everything.
- I want them to dig.
- Yes, sir.
[door knocks]
[door creaks open]
Do you have evidence?
[door clicks open]
Are you trying to end
your marriage or fix it?
That is none of your busi
busi... business.
Do we need to
discuss this all here,
or we can talk inside?
[footsteps]
Henry, right?
Mm.
Sexy, right?
[soft music playing]
Look, I'm sure if she puts on
a good show,
maybe you'll learn something.
[door clicks shut]
Here's your proof.
[groans]
[grunts]
[heavy breathing]
Your husband has
a profile on Soulmate.
I want her name.
That's not what you paid for.
You wanted proof.
What if what I really want
is revenge?
[groans]
[sighs]
[slams]
You came for this?
Is that what you want, huh?
You can take it?
Is the revenge you want, huh?
Is this your plan?
[panting]
An eye for an eye,
fuck for a fuck, huh?
You're no different
than your husband.
[breathing heavily]
Stop! I said, 'Stop!'
Stop!
I said, 'Stop!'
Stop it.
[grunts]
But I'm not done yet.
[breathing heavily]
[gasping]
Give me the video.
[sighs]
[cash slaps against his face]
You're just like them.
You cheat, you lie,
and you think you can
buy your way out?
Huh?
[slap]
[slap]
[breathing heavily]
Get the fuck off!
Get the fuck off!
[door groans open]
[door slams shut]
[door clicks shut]
[door clicks open]
[gasps]
[scoffs]
You enjoy yourself?
Did you... Did you have a fight?
Sex.
Sex is violence.
It's about power.
Do you work?
I'm still studying.
Are you any good with computers?
Kind of, yes.
We'll have to see, Henry.
I'm thinking of
expanding my mission.
[suspenseful music]
[door slams open]
Police!
Hands up!
Hands up!
Drop the knife!
Drop the fucking knife!
[knife clatters to the floor]
Hands behind your head.
No, hands behind your head!
[suspenseful music builds]
Hands behind your head!
Walk towards me slowly.
[foreboding music]
Don't fuck with me.
Stop there.
You have the right
to remain silent.
What if I don't want
to remain silent?
Fine.
But I'm going to have
to search you anyway.
How thorough a search
are we talking about?
Very.
[dramatic music playing]
[gasps]
[music intensifies]
[chuckles]
[gasps]
I didn't realize what
a dangerous criminal you are.
And you...
[chuckles]
Bring a whole new meaning
to law and order.
[laughter]
Do you think that we got it all?
Ah, cinematic masterpiece,
I'm sure.
I make a good leading lady.
Of course, baby.
From the day of
our wedding night, remember?
Oh, how could I forget that?
But you know, love,
we didn't need
cameras and costumes back then.
We don't need them now, right?
It just adds spice,
variety.
But you don't need a
variety of leading ladies,
- do you?
- Babe,
[gasp]
You're all I care for.
And you know you're
an excellent director
when you're not taking advantage of
your lead actress.
[phone ringing]
[phone ringing]
Hi, Mr. Chris.
[Mia on phone] Yes, absolutely.
I can send that right over.
Yeah, okay.
You too.
Bye.
Babe,
can I borrow your laptop
for a second?
Yeah, of course.
Thank you.
[sighs] Okay.
[keyboard clicks]
[police siren wailing]
[door clicks open]
[door clicks shut]
[phone ringing]
[David on phone] Hello.
Ever give much thought
to your fellow man?
[David on phone] I told you never to
call me here!
Answer the question,
you dumb fuck.
[David on phone]
What... what question?
I... I don't know.
Well, if you did,
you would likely
find that the thing that
makes him even remotely interesting
is the thought that he actually
might shit himself
if his wife knew
what he'd been up to.
[David on phone]
No! You can't do that.
You said you wouldn't if...
Wonder what that
cow of yours would
think of a few
sordid shots of you
and your little tart.
[David on phone] No! Listen,
I've got the money you wanted.
I have it!
How can I get it to you?
Thought this might hasten
our agreement.
Well, you will have
to follow my instructions exactly.
[David on phone] I will,
but you have to delete
all those photos and videos.
Like you said, right?
[chuckles]
I say a lot of things.
So you listen closely
to what I'm saying now.
[Oliver on phone]
Yes, Mr. Vincent, I agree.
But our investment
has a certain parameter
which needs to be
met as well, right?
Sure.
I'll see what I can do.
Yeah.
No worries.
I'll be in shortly.
Ciao.
[giggles]
Ciao?
Yeah.
Makes me sound more
continental, don't you think?
[laughs]
Maybe a little bit.
[chuckles]
We're closing the new
fund tomorrow night,
and Philip wants to
have dinner afterwards, so...
[gasps]
What?
Babe, that's great!
Do you want
me to meet you there,
or are you going to come home?
[gasps]
What do you think I
should wear to something like that?
It's a client thing, babe,
and we'll likely be discussing
confidential details, so...
No one who hasn't
signed the NDA.
But, I mean,
what if I want to
spend the evening with my husband?
- Fuck their NDA.
- Babe,
we've talked about this.
This is why we came out here.
It's a great opportunity for us,
and in a couple of
years, we can just...
Yeah, but it's
a great opportunity,
for you.
For us, babe. For us.
Okay, but, I mean,
I had to leave
my job to support you.
And I had an exciting work life
in New York, Oliver.
If we were still in New York,
I'd have to do client
dinners every night.
- You know that.
- We're not in New York, Oliver!
And I seem to
be sitting at home
alone, in a foreign country,
- a lot.
- Mia,
I don't have time
for this now, right?
No.
You never have time for me.
Unless it's one of your
ridiculous sex games.
You said they were fun.
No, you said they were fun.
That they'd put some spice back
in our lovemaking, you said.
What?
Am I too boring to
make love to now?
No.
Without all this play-acting?
No, you're not boring,
but you're getting pretty
annoying right now.
[sighs]
Okay.
I'm sorry I'm being so annoying,
but you know what? Maybe.
I'd be less annoying
if you would just start
cooking for yourself
and cleaning for yourself.
So why don't you...
Go on, say it!
And go fuck myself, right?
Maybe it'd be better
than you fucking other women,
which I'm sure you're doing.
Are you trying to make me sorry
I married you?
Because you're doing
a pretty good job right now.
No.
I'm trying to make you love me,
the way you did once.
Oliver, like I love you.
[sighs]
Look,
we'll talk about it tonight.
I just don't have
the time right now.
[door clicks shut]
[car engine stops]
[gentle music plays]
Morning, guys.
Morning.
[lift dings, doors open.]
Morning.
[intercom beeps]
[receiver clicks]
[Oliver on phone]
Can I see you in my office?
[Eva on phone] Certainly, sir.
[door clicks open]
Hey, Oliver.
Cillian.
Hey.
Need a moment, Oliver.
Sure. What's up?
I'm aware Mr. Vincent
has been seeking your help.
He's a good man, Oliver.
I have known him and
his company for ages.
That may well be, Cillian,
but it doesn't mean
the company should invest
when the returns are
at risk, right?
Have you seen the balance sheet of
the company?
But you do favors for
some people.
[chuckles]
I'm not really sure what
you're referring to now, Cillian,
but if you have an
issue with me,
we can happily discuss
it after working hours, right?
Look,
Mr. Vincent's company has a downfall
for the past years,
but I'm sure with
this investment, he can turn around.
And we will have
good profit in return.
It's not going
to happen, Cillian.
Now, please.
I'm busy.
[sighs]
[footsteps recede]
[approaching footsteps]
[door clicks shut]
Hello.
Eva,
could you fax the Denoush Brothers
file to the head office?
It's urgent.
There's a party
at Insomnia tonight.
Wanna come?
[sighs]
I'd like to,
but I'm drowning in work.
Just too much work on my desk.
I can clear it for you.
Thanks, but
to be honest, I had
a fight with my wife this morning,
and I'll need to
leave early today.
That's okay.
I understand.
[file thuds]
I guess she's just a bit
better than me.
Hmm?
In the only way
that really matters.
Actually,
you both are pretty great.
Whatever.
[footsteps recede]
You know why.
I want you in my office so often?
Why?
'Cause I love
to watch you walk away.
[footsteps recede]
[gentle music plays]
[humming in the shower]
[groans]
[shower running]
[door clicks open]
[shower running]
[chuckles]
Not mad at me again, are you?
[chuckles]
Maybe.
[laughs]
Love you, babe!
Love you, too.
Listen, hurry and get out, okay?
I'm going to be late for work.
You can come in here with me.
Save time.
Come shower with me.
That could take even longer.
I could make it
worth your while.
[shower running]
Sir.
[footsteps approach]
All three were on Soulmates.
- The dating site?
- Yes.
Tell me as we walk.
So, Soulmates.
[suspenseful music]
Husbands? Wives?
No.
Just the men.
So, they were having affairs?
Affairs?
Hard to say,
but all of them were
cheating on their wives.
How do you know it was cheating?
Well,
for sure Mr. Dawood.
First death with the sex tape.
That was a confirmed suicide.
Yes, but he seemed
to be a serial cheater.
How so?
His first wife caught him
in an affair.
He left her for
another woman, a Brit.
Then his wife
swallowed a bottle of pills.
- Alibi?
- Mm, checked out.
Kids?
One, but he was at uni.
Blamed his father.
Wanna have a girlfriend?
I don't know.
What do you mean?
[coughs]
I'm warning you,
girlfriends lead you astray.
They spend all your money,
but perhaps the sex is
what makes it all worthwhile.
[coughs]
My mother says that.
I should stay away from you.
[coughs]
Your mother doesn't
trust men anymore, huh?
[sighs]
What's this?
It's today
and tomorrow.
My tomorrows.
[music swells]
Is it medicine?
Do you have to take it?
Think of it as an elixir,
the elixir of life.
Doctors say if I don't have it
when I need it,
well...
What's the problem?
Do you have asthma?
Forget what I have
and I don't have.
Let's get down to business.
How much money
does your mother make?
Around 12 to 15,000.
[scoffs]
9 hours of slavery everyday
for a paltry 15,000.
And what about you? Do you help?
No.
Want to work with me?
By doing what?
Basic computer work.
30,000 a month,
plus benefits.
Well,
I might
[cash lands on the table]
Work.
Here's 15,000 in advance.
You come straight
here after class.
Let me show you where you work.
I used to work for Soulmates.
[music builds]
The famous dating app?
The app
where people pay to get laid.
Yeah, that's the one.
I've hacked before
into their system, so now
[keyboard clicks]
I'm in fucking control.
Your task will be to
log as many people as possible.
Mhm-mm.
When you see that
two have matched,
check their chat boxes,
especially married people.
[click]
Why would a married person be
on a dating app?
The same reason
your father left your mother.
To get better than
what they are getting at home.
That's double dipping, huh?
Correct, my lad.
And our plan is simple.
You find those who are making it
outside the home as well as inside.
And?
And I make them pay
big time.
The more people we tap,
the more money we'll make.
Cool.
So, be on time tomorrow.
Sure you don't
want to start today?
[snickers]
[upbeat music]
That's great. Very well done.
Thank you, Oliver.
Our investment is in good hands.
Always happy to help.
We'll be sending you the
paperwork as soon as possible.
Okay.
[chair creaks]
Good night. Thank you.
[chair squeaks]
He thinks you're a
handsome investment.
Well, that's not
what he said, Eva.
I just think you're handsome.
Wait. What?
I ordered us nightcaps.
Well,
okay.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
[exhales deeply]
[breathes out slowly]
Well,
thank you for this, Eva.
I owe you.
I think we make a good team.
Yeah, but I should go.
But you just said that
you owe me.
[sighs]
Really? So,
what do you want?
This morning,
is there something new
you want to share?
Here?
I can't show you here,
Eva.
"In the dark we
are burning slow."
"City lights are watching,
but they'll never know."
"Every breath we take,
it's a stolen fire."
"Two hearts colliding
in the desire."
"So quick in the night,
we won't have to hide."
We should call a cab.
A cab?
[breathing heavily]
"Hold me closer,
don't you let it fade."
"This siren song's a
game we play."
"Wasting in the shadows,"
"hidden from sight."
"We'll keep the
secret of the night."
[music builds]
- This is how she does it.
- Yeah.
[gasps]
Is this how you like it?
Yeah.
"We'll keep the
secret of the night."
[door clicks open]
[gasps]
[footsteps approach]
Looks like you've had
more than enough.
[sighs]
Look, I had a long day at work,
and I'd really like to
relax, okay?
You've had a long day at work?
Every day this week.
And you're coming home
every night
reeking of booze.
I can handle my liquor, okay?
[sighs]
Look,
I just
need to unwind a bit, okay?
[gasps]
Hey, it's not
just tonight, Oliver.
You are drinking way too much.
It's bad for you.
I'm worried about you.
No need, love.
I can turn it off
whenever I want to, right?
Hey, you don't have to.
I'm not saying you have to
stop entirely.
You just need to
cut back a little bit.
Why are you always
trying to control
everything, Mia?
I don't fucking like it!
I'm not trying
to control you, Oliver.
I just want
what's best for you.
Oh, what's best for me?
And I suppose what's best for me
is for you to constantly
nag and criticize me, right?
That's not fair.
I... I just...
[gasps]
I just want us to be happy.
You know, like we were once?
Nothing ever stays like it once was.
Everything changes.
And maybe that's
a good thing, huh?
What are we even talking about?
What does that even mean?
I'm trying to say
that maybe
maybe...
[music builds]
Maybe I don't want to be
married to you anymore.
What?
Oliver, you don't mean that.
Why would you...
why would you even say that?
Fact of life, my dear.
Nothing stays the same.
Everything changes.
[music swells]
Nothing ever stays the same.
Nothing ever
stays the same.
[footsteps recede]
[notification beeps]
[notification beeps]

Sophia.
Hmm.
[notification beeps]
[snickers]
Very interesting.
Still looking for a soulmate.
[snickers]
[scoffs]
[mouse clicks]
Hello.
[distant train whistle]
[Mia on phone] Oh,
I'm definitely going to
check out that place
that you recommended.
[sighs]
I think that you
should come visit us.
Really. Maybe in the summer?
That'd be so nice.
Remember in New York?
We were at
[sighs]
The skate park together.
Yeah! Whenever
whenever you are free,
you have a place with us.
Absolutely.
God, it must be in my laptop.
Where did I put it?
[music builds]
[sighs]
[breathing heavily]
[music swells]
[phone ringing]
[Oliver on phone]
Eva, do you have my laptop?
[Eva on phone] No.
[Oliver on phone]
Shit! Shit! Shit!
[Eva on phone] Did you enjoy
the clip I emailed you?
[Oliver on phone] Not right now,
Eva, for fuck's sake!
I have to find my laptop.
[Eva on phone]
What's the big deal?
Everything's password
protected, right?
I'll call the taxi company.
[Oliver on phone]
It was a stray taxi, damn it!
[Eva on phone]
Oh.
[sighs]
You're right.
Then register
a complaint about it?
[call disconnects]
[exhales deeply]
[soft music]
[footsteps]
Hey, good morning.
I'm looking for
a guy named Taleb.
All our technicians are contractors.
I'm not responsible for...
No, it's not like that.
My nephew knows him.
Says he's good with
computer and shit.
What's the problem?
I forgot the password.
[laptop taps the table]
And I'm locked out.
This is yours?
[hesitates]
It's my wife's.
I need to know what she's up to.
There's a service fee.
Of course.
Leave me your number.
I'll have Taleb
call you with a quote.
It's 5901.

[Noha on phone] Hello,
Inspector Noha speaking.
[Oliver on phone]
Noha, Oliver speaking.
[Noha on phone] Oliver?
[Oliver on phone] Mia's husband.
[Noha on phone] Hi, Oliver,
is everything okay with Mia?
[Oliver on phone]
Mia? Why? She's fine.
[hesitates]
[Noha on phone] It's nothing.
What can I do for you?
[Oliver on phone] Actually,
I need a bit of a favor.
[Noha on phone]
If I can. What's up?
[Oliver on phone] Last night,
I left my briefcase
in the back of a taxi.
Checked with the taxi company,
but they said it wasn't there.
[Noha on phone] Okay.
Leave it with me.
Let me see what I can do.
[Oliver on phone] Thanks.
[Noha on phone] It's
okay, Oliver.
[sighs]
[music intensifies]
[typing]
[chime]
[rapid typing]
[music swells]
[stifled sneeze]
[chime]
I love Mia.
Fuck.
I...
me...
[music intensifies]
- Which company is this?
- Apple.
- Can I try?
- Yes, of course.
Hey, you said it was his wife's?
He said it was his wife.
Interesting password
for a woman.
[snickers]
Do you have Samsung?
That is not available.
Okay.
Thank you.
I bet your name is Mia.
What was that?
I'm in, but this laptop is fried.
- You want to call him?
- No way.
I don't want that
hot piece of shit in here.
He was your guy.
You deal with it.
[sighs]
[heavy exhale]
[music builds]
[snickers]
[footsteps approach]
- Good morning, sir.
- Good morning.
Sir, the cell phone logs
don't have any numbers
in common,
[sighs]
But they both have calls from
numbers that are no longer active.
Meaning burners.
Could be.
Perhaps visiting friends,
pay-as-you-go delivery guys.
Maybe.
And the banks?
The banks
are being difficult, sir.
[snickers]
That's why
these people move here, Sergeant,
because our banks
can be very difficult.
But your friend
would share unofficially
that Mr. Dawood did withdraw
a large sum of cash last month.
Sometimes
unofficial is all we get.
But I would prefer facts
that we can
bring into court, sir.
[heavy exhale]
And I would prefer to catch this
person before anyone else dies.
- Okay, sir.
- No.
My friend, Mia...
[gasps]
Her husband had
his briefcase and laptop stolen.
[sighs]
Check with your sources.
See if there's
anything we can do.
[paper unfolds]
Officially?
There's some
pretty important documents in there.
[gasps]
He's asking for a quite a favor.
[paper rustles]
Yes, sir.
[sighs]
[exhales deeply]
[sighs]
[door clicks shut]
Babe?
I'm out here!
[footsteps approach]
Come here and sit with me.
It's really nice.
[water trickles]
[footsteps approach]
[coat lands with a thud]
[deep exhale]
Oliver?
Sorry.
Shitty day.
Hmm.
The new fund?
Uh...
No. No, no, no. It's
that's fine. It's
my laptop.
It's gone.
Stolen.
[soft music playing]
Stolen?
Yeah.
I checked my car,
the restaurant,
the table we sat in.
[gasps]
Is there anything that
you can't get back?
[gentle music continues]
Oliver?
I called Noha.
Noha?
[sighs]
Why? Why did you call Noha?
He's in homicide.
I asked him to take a look.
[sighs]
Why don't you just
file an official report?
I mean,
what's missing?
[gentle music continues]
[gasps]
Any of our things?
[hesitates]
No, no, no, no.
It's just confidential docs.
I'd hate to have to
tell my clients.
[sighs]
But we're good?
Yeah. Yeah, baby, we're
we're good.
[sighs]
Hey, you want me to take a look?
I did used
to be a cop, you know.
You're gonna go
undercover on the
streets of Mauritius?
[gasps]
We're both gonna go undercover.

[Doc on phone] Hello.
[Taleb on phone]
I'm losing control of my body, Doc.
Where's my meds?
[Doc on phone] I'm waiting
on the delivery from my source.
It'll be here by midnight.
[Taleb on phone]
I don't care, I just need my meds.
[Doc on phone] You'll have the
courier by the morning, I promise.
[Taleb on phone]
You better keep your word, Doc.
I can't afford
to wait any longer.

[Oliver on phone]
Eva, did you text me last night?
Not funny.
[Eva on phone] Last night?
Did you dream of me?
[Oliver on phone] What?
No.
[Eva on phone]
What are you wearing?
'Cause I'm naked now.
[Oliver on phone]
Stop playing, Eva.
Do you have my laptop?
[Eva on phone]
Do I what?
[Oliver on phone]
Did you steal my laptop?
Are you trying to get me fired?
[Eva on phone]
Oliver,
what are you talking about?
[Oliver on phone]
Is this because I won't leave Mia?
Huh?

As I told you on the phone,
my laptop was stolen, not lost.
Breaking my passwords
is not something some kid
could do, man.
[gasps]
And whoever has it now
is trying to blackmail me,
you see that?
I can see that.
Any idea who?
Half the bankers in Mauritius
would like to know what I know.
[sighs]
That's a lot of suspects.
[pen clicks]
[sighs]
Now that's funny for
a cop, isn't it?
But if confidential
info gets out,
there's a lot of people
who won't be laughing,
I promise you.
Then why'd you
leave it unprotected?
Are you serious?
[exhales deeply]
I'll get Tech to run this by.
[gasps]
Maybe we'll get lucky.
Maybe?
Do you even care?
[gasps]
Listen,
if we can trace the SIM
and get the IMEI number,
we can tell approximately
where it's been,
which is possibly where
this person or persons
who have your
property are located.
We can, and I assure you will,
put a trace on the number.
But the likelihood of them using
the same number now
that you're in play is...
[sighs]
Is slim.
What do you mean in play?
Now you know your laptop is
stolen, not lost.
You have no other option than to
answer unknown calls
until this plays through.
For fuck's sake,
is there nothing you can do?
If not for me,
for Mia.
[footsteps]
Sergeant!
[approaching footsteps]
Yes, sir.
Sergeant Chiam,
please take this to tech.
It's likely a burner SIM,
but I want to
learn everything about it ASAP.
Mm-hmm.
Thank you.
[retreating footsteps]
[sighs]
[chair creaks]
When you do deals,
do you let it get emotional?
No, of course not.
Then don't assume
that I'm not doing my job
because I'm not rushing around like
some trainee.
I'm going to do
what I can for you,
not because we know one another,
not because Mia is a former cop
and friend,
but because I'm a professional.

[lift dings]
Heya!

Are we going to stand here,
or are we going to
talk about what happened?
Oliver, come on!
[sighs]
Oliver!
[lift dings]
Why have you been avoiding me?
[sighs]
I actually have
a lot of work to do.
- Oliver,
- [sighs]
what you said to me
this morning hurt.
[gasps]
I had to ask, okay?
Not like that.
Well, for all I know, you could
still be working with someone else.
[footsteps receding]
Oliver,
if I wanted to break you,
I wouldn't be fucking you.
So, why do you?
Because I love you.
We've talked about this.
I love Mia.
Things change.
[sighs]
[lets out a deep breath]
[footsteps coming closer]
[sighs]
Were you really
naked this morning?
Right down to the freshly
polished hardwood floors.
[giggles]
[mobile phone ringing]
[phone continues ringing]
[sighs]
[Oliver on phone] Hello.
[Taleb on phone]
Hello, Oliver. Hey.
I heard you lost your laptop.
And?
I would gladly
help you find it out,
but you know, everything
costs money.
And this is gonna cost you
let's say,
100,000 dollars.
[chuckles]
[Oliver on phone]
I... I don't have that.
[Taleb on phone]
Oh, Oliver.
Don't insult me.
I may not be able to
get into your bank account, but...
Oh, your statements
are stored as PDFs.
You silly boy.
You're lucky you didn't use
'heart for Mia'
on your bank account.
Trust me,
I tried.
[Oliver on phone]
Listen, I'm not gonna pay.
[Taleb on phone]
Do I really have to tell you,
what will happen?
[Oliver on phone]
I've already told my wife,
and I've spoken
to the police, so...
[chuckles]
[Taleb on phone]
The police have been
looking for me
for months, Oliver,
and they don't
even know that I exist
or what I'm doing.
[Oliver on phone]
Just return the laptop,
and we'll forget
the whole thing.
[Taleb on phone]
Forget?
[laughs]
Forget?
[chuckles]
No way.
I will never forget that video.
[Oliver on phone] You
listen to me carefully right now.
[gasps]
I'll find you, and I'll
crush you. Understood?
[line disconnects]
Fuck him. I'm not gonna pay.
[exhales sharply]
[incoming call]
[phone ringing]
[lets out a long sigh]
[phone ringing]
Hey, babe.
[Taleb on phone] Hey, babe.
[laughs triumphantly]
[gasps deeply]
See, Oliver?
I can be anyone, anywhere.
[ominous music plays softly]
How are you gonna find me?
I live in the shadows.
I like the shadows.
But you...
[chuckles]
You're gonna be famous.
This video will make
you and Mia internet stars.
Did you tell her
about the other one?
My email!
Us!
[music intensifies]
[irritated sigh]
[Taleb on phone]
It's okay, but
it ain't Mia.
Cash, small bills.
I'll give you details later.
[sighs heavily]
Oliver, you have to
think this through.

Because it's been
almost three hours.
[sighs heavily]
[gasps]
I'll try again.
[rapid typing]
[sighs heavily]
So, what do we do now?
[sighs]
We continue to wait.
For how long?
He's a bastard

We'll take it back

Are you sure?
I'll keep it locked up,
we'll be fine.
Let's hope so.

Hey.
Hey.
How's life in the mines?
Uh...
I've got about
six potential victims.
They're not victims, Henry.
They do it of their own will.
They take promises,
they make vows,
they tell their children
not to cheat and lie,
and that's exactly how
they live their lives.
They're just sinners,
and they must learn.
Okay.
- Okay, cool, cool.
- It's not cool.
It's like swimming in a sewer.
That's why I need my meds.

Yeah.
[Taleb oh phone] Sit there

We're already here.
- He's coming.
- Mm.
[foreboding music rises]
[sighs]
[slow exhale]
He's making a fool
of us, Oliver.
[sighs]
If he wanted the money,
he would've come for it by now.
We're obviously dealing
with some kind of psycho.
I don't know what to do.
We can't keep staying away
from the office for so long.
I know, but...
[phone rings]
[Oliver on phone] How long are you
going to keep playing this?
Why don't you
just come get what you've asked for?
[Taleb on phone] There is a train
standing on the platform.
Get on it.
[Oliver on phone] Who do you think
you are? I'm a...
Shit!
Well?

Okay.
Fuck!
[music grows darker]
[phone rings]
Thank you for
the payment, Oliver.
- What?
- He took the money.
[car stops]
You didn't have to
come all the way here.
I could have got a cab.
Now it'll take you even
longer to get back.
It's fine.
Can you stay a little while?
I'm alone.
I can't, Eva.
He'll stop now,
right, Oliver?
Now that he's
got the money, he'll stop.
[sighs]
I have to go.

Huh?

Ollie, is this for you?
[bag zipper opens]
Coming!
[gasps]
Babe, what the hell is this?
Uh...
It's work stuff.
It should not have
been sent here.
[hesitates]
Babe, talk to me about this.
Please.
[music slowly builds]
[taps on phone screen]
[phone begins ringing]
Oliver, you got my note?
What is this?
Nothing much.
It was just a test.
Are you fucking with me?
No, no, no.
At first, I wanted the money, but...
Money is easy.
I can always get money.
Then what the fuck do you want?
I want what you've got.
Something valuable.
I want Mia.
What about that?
You son of a bitch.
Have you lost your mind,
you motherfucker?
One night with Mia,
and all your troubles are over.
You're crazy!
I would never...
Don't make me bomb the
internet with your sex life, okay?
[footsteps recede]
Oliver, you got to talk to me.
What's going on?
You have to tell me.
I fucked up.
At work?
[sighs]
[deep inhale]
There was a video on my laptop.
A video?
Just the one.
Just one?
Of us.
[slow exhale]
Which one?
The last one.
It was, it was so great, I...
Oliver, you swore to me
that those were never
going to leave the house.
I...
Bullshit!
Why wasn't your laptop secured?
It was!
It was!
[gasps]
But this guy hacked it, and...
[gasps]
At first, he just wanted money.
Then he found the video.
So,
you paid him
[gasps]
And then he gave the money back?
Yeah.
So, what? He wants more now?
What?
[sharp inhale]
[gasps]
He wants you.
[breath trembles]
[music slowly builds]
Oliver, if you told me
what was going on,
perhaps we would
have caught him by now.
No, if you would
have listened, Oliver,
the day he lost his laptop,
we wouldn't even be in this mess.
You have to help us.
I will, Mia.
Trust me.
Oliver,
when the train left Hill Road,
which station did he actually
take the money from?
I told you, I dozed off.
When I woke up,
the money was gone.
Not sure which station it was.
How about when he called you
after taking the money?
Where were you then?
Uh...
The train was pulling out,
but I don't know
exactly from where.
Do you remember
what time you boarded the train?
- 5:00 p.m.
- 5:00 p.m.
How about roughly what time
you fell asleep and woke up?
I must have dozed off about
five minutes after I left.
Hmm.
Slept for about
20 minutes or so.
Hmm.
Wait,
he called around the same time
he took the money,
so it must have
been 5:20 or 5:30.
Okay,
we'll get all the CCTV footage
of the different stations
and platforms around that time.
Do you recall
if there was anyone
on the train when you boarded?
No one.
It was empty.
Well, there was one kid,
[hesitates]
A student, I guess.
He had his nose in a book.
Did you happen to see
what he looked like?
I couldn't really see
much of his face.
I remember, though,
he was wearing a blue cap.
Mhm-mm.
Blue cap.
Might be just
the fellow we're looking for.
What's it? What's that mean?
Uh, because when I woke up,
looking for my bag,
the boy was gone
and so was the money.
Oliver, I would like you
to come down to the station
to file a police report.
[sighs]
I'm not sure.
Don't worry,
it'll be strictly confidential.
Moving forward, I'm going to have
both your phones under surveillance.
Don't worry,
we're going to catch this creep.
[footsteps]
You've been treating all day.
Where did all
this money come from?
Yeah, Henry,
did you hit a jackpot?
Kinda, yes.
Well, keep doing
what you're doing.
I like being treated this way.
Hey, don't you worry.
I plan to treat you all
very, very nicely.
- Okay.
- Yeah, so what's next, McD?
- Yeah, yeah, sure.
- Yeah.
Let's go.
[footsteps suddenly halt]
[ominous music begins]
[footsteps ascend the stairs]
[hesitates briefly]
Hey.
[footsteps suddenly halt]
I'm kind of running late.
- Okay.
- I got to go.
I'll see you in the school.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Yeah, bye, bye.
- Bye.

Get him in the back. Come on.
Let's go. Grab him. Grab him.
- Get him in.
- Leave me! Leave me!
- I'm innocent.
- Hold him in.
I haven't done anything.
- You take the other side.
- Please leave me!
- Get the cuffs on him.
- Okay, okay.
You got it?
- No, no, I haven't done anything.
- Got it!
- Go, go.
- I'm really not lying! Believe me.

This drug is used only for
patients suffering from FND.
FND?
Functional
Neurological Disorder.
It's a rare condition.
Affecting only 1 in
a million individuals.
It's occurs when a person
got the deep trauma,
it's disrupting nervous system.
Mhm-mm.
This can lead
to severe pain in the limbs,
- seizures,
- Mhm-mm.
And potentially
fatal consequences.
Can you find
who has prescribed it?
It's impossible
to avail this
drug on this island.
This drug is still in trial
by the company named
Relief in France, so
even obtaining it as
anywhere else in world
is quite difficult
at this stage.
Then how did it end up here?
Actually, you know,
there's a doctor
named Joseph Wood.
He used to work
with this company.
Now he's running a
clinic in Quatre Bornes.
So, that's the only connection.
I can find.
So, everyone,
keep up the good work.
As you can see, profits
went up by 10% from last year.
But still,
we need to target more
potential clients, and I suggest
to achieve our
next quarter target,
we need to identify
new profitable startup
and find sustainable solutions.
So everyone,
let's make this work, right?
[eerie silence]
What's going on?
Hmm.
[picks up the phone]
[huffs]
Your wife is smoking hot, man.
How dare you?
- Hey!
- You asshole!
What are you
doing? I didn't post it!
- Would you stop it?
- Oliver!
Stop it! What are you doing?
You think it's funny
to talk about my wife that way?
- Let it go!
- Huh?
- Are you serious, man?
- Shut the fuck up!
Stop it!
- Jesus!
- Oliver, come with me!
Oliver, stop it!
Fuck!
What are you doing?
Come on.
[groans]
I can't believe you.
What are you playing at?
That's not like you.
Come on, we can sort it.
[music builds]
[footsteps approach]
Hello, sir.
[music slowly builds]
[sighs]
What's this?
Need your signature
for the court order.
The doctor is not cooperating.
[pages turning]
Taleb had something
on the doctor.
The owner of
the Wi-Fi store said
he worked for a couple
of tech companies.
Did you hear anything
from Soulmates?
Nothing substantial.
[music slowly builds]
Send his profile over to Soulmates.
I think I know
what your gut is telling you.
Oliver's guy
is our guy.
Look, Mia, it's close.
We'll get the court
order tomorrow.
He could still post
everything,
[sobs]
And it would ruin us.
Would?
It has!
I'm fucked.
We confirmed
he worked for Soulmates.
I was never on Soulmates.
Oliver?
Just being clear.
This whole thing has been about
blackmail
and revenge.
Yep.
He's, he's not a serial killer.
[huffs]
I offered him the fucking money.
I've got to go.
[gasps]
Good night,
- Mia.
- Good night.
You're going to be okay.
It's fine. It's fine.
Thank you.
[door opens]
Snap out of it, Oliver.
[breathes heavily]
I was the one who got scammed,
not you!
Fuck!

the man you are searching for, Noha.
So, how are you these days?
[Noha oh phone]
You tell me, sicko.
How's the mining?
Henry was very
talkative, you know.
Need to do a better
job of choosing your accomplices.
[chuckles]
[Taleb on phone] You think
you're smart, don't you?
[Noha on phone] Yeah.
Smart enough to know
the noose is tightening.
Do you feel it yet?
[Taleb on phone] You don't scare me.
I scare you.
[Noha on phone] Yeah,
as much as a shoe
heel scares a bug.
But if you haven't noticed
yet, you're the fucking bug.
[Taleb on phone]
Let's see about that.

Hello?
Fuck!
Becky, did you get the trace?
I'm working on it.

'Ongoing call detected'
This person is on another call.
Put him on speaker.
[Oliver on phone] Look, you have to
stop all this, please.
[Taleb on phone]
Why do you keep screwing up, Oliver?
Or is it your friend Noha
who is making your situation worse?
[Oliver on phone]
I did everything you've asked.
What more do you want?
My car?
My house?
Just leave us alone, man.
I'm begging you.
[Taleb on phone] Oh, be careful
of what you're wishing for, Oliver.
To be left alone is
a terrible thing.
Terrible.
But I'll tell you what.
I'll give you one more chance
to get your life back.
We'll play a little game.
A little
question and answer game.
But you have to have
Mia with you, so she can play, too.
It's not just your life, Oliver.
It's her life, too, you know?
I'll call you tomorrow
at 10:00 a.m.
Be sure to answer.
[Oliver on phone] A game?
You can't be serious.
[call abruptly ends]

'Connection lost'
[rapid typing]
Did you get the trace?
Not enough time, sir.
Fuck!
What the fuck
is this psycho up to?
[footsteps recede]
[bell chimes]

[footsteps]
[tense music builds]
[rapid typing]
[notification tone plays]
He's calling.
Put it on speaker.
[phone rings]
[Taleb on phone] Hello, Oliver.
Or is it Oliver
and Mia, as I asked?
[Oliver on phone] She can hear you.
[Taleb on phone]
Got a few questions for you.
Answer them all correctly
and I'll leave you two
lovebirds forever alone.
But if you miss one
you know what that means.
[Oliver on phone] Let's
just get this over with, okay?
[sighs]
[Taleb on phone]
Why rush so, huh?
I just started enjoying it.
[Oliver on phone]
Just ask the damn question.
[sighs]
[Taleb on phone]
Okay. So,
what is the capital of Congo?
[Oliver on phone] Is this
another one of your fucking jokes?
[Taleb on phone]
Just a warm-up. Answer it.
[Oliver on phone] Kinshasa.
[Taleb on phone] Whoa.
[laughs]
Aren't you brilliant?
[laughs]
Well, let's go
for the second question.
How does the childhood abandonment
manifest itself
in adulthood?
Huh?
[Oliver on phone]
How the fuck should I know, man?
[Taleb on phone] I admit
this is a tough one, Oliver.
I bet he's
talking about himself.
Psychos often do.
Trace it down.
[Taleb on phone] I'll help you.
Children who grow up in shitty
circumstances may feel unloved.
They may try to even sabotage
adult relationships
by pushing people away.
But this is a...
[laughs]
This is a hard one.
Let's replace it.
Last month, you took
a trip out of Mauritius.
Where did you go, and with whom?
[long pause]
Tell me, Oliver.
Where?
And with whom?
[tension music builds]
'Hey!'
'Babe, where are you going?'
'I told you, I'm going
to Cape Town for a client meeting.'
'Oh!'
'Sounds fun.'
'Can I go with you?'
[sighs]
'Babe.'
'Sorry, babe.'
'Company staff only.'
'One meeting after another.'
'You know how it is, right?'
Tell him.
Oliver, you were in
Cape Town at the meeting.
[chuckles]
[Taleb on phone]
Time to speak up, Oliver.
Right answer: Freedom.
And wrong answer...
[laughs]
[Oliver on phone] No.
I went to Kruger.
[music swells]
[laughs]
[Taleb on phone] Well done, Oliver.
But don't forget the
second part.
With whom?
[music grows darker]
[Oliver on phone] I'm sorry, Mia.
[sobs]
I went there with Eva.
[gasps]
What?
[chuckles]
You betrayed me.
[music intensifies]
How could you?
[Taleb on phone]
That's a good question, Mia.
But
not as good as the
one I have for you.
[Mia on phone]
What?
Me?
[hesitates]
I don't want to
answer any questions.
That's enough. We're not...
We're just going to hang up.
[Oliver on phone] Wait.
Go on.
[Taleb on phone]
It's gonna be an easy one.
I'm sure you remember, Mia.
When Oliver was in
Kruger National Park with Eva,
you were watching a movie,
and later
sharing the sheets with...
[gasps]
Have you got the trace?
[Oliver on phone]
You asshole. We've
we've had enough of this.
[Taleb on phone] Well,
well, well, a lover's spat.
Who would have thought?
Wouldn't you like Oliver to know
who Mia was with that night?
[snickers]
[Oliver on phone]
I don't believe this.
[sobs]
[Taleb on phone] Well, take
a good look at your wife, Oliver...
[sobs]
And believe your eyes.
[suppressed sobs]
Got him.
He's in Port Louis.
But wait,
what the hell is this?
[Taleb on phone] By the way, kids,
this means you lose the game.
You have precisely one week
to provide me with what I ask for,
otherwise your
parents, your friends,
and everyone across
the internet will see
the kinky sex games
you have to perform
to simply get off.
[Mia on phone]
I will destroy you, psycho.
[Taleb on phone] Goodbye.

[Doc on phone] Hello.
[Taleb on phone] Why you gotta
mess up our bond like this, Doc?
[Doc on phone]
Your doses have been up,
and you know I gotta deal with
some shady stuff to get your meds.
It takes time.
[Taleb on phone]
I've been hearing this
for the past couple of days, Doc.
My situation here is
getting worse by the minute.
[Doc on phone]
I'm sorry, I promise.
Nothing's gonna happen to you.
I'm hustling to
sort this out ASAP.
[Taleb on phone]
Time's running out, Doc.
A messenger's on his way
to spill the beans to your wife
about your fling
with the nurse.
[Doc on phone]
Please, man. Come on, don't do that.
Please, don't do that,
you don't have to do that.
I've told you before,
don't make me suffer.
[Taleb on
phone] Your peaceful life depends on
how quick I can get my meds.
[Doc on phone] I'm sorry.
I'm doing everything I can.
I should be able to hook you up with
the supply by tomorrow afternoon.
Afternoon, huh?
'Cause if not,
your evening's gonna be real rough.

[deep exhale]
[footsteps]
[slow music begins]
[snickers]
[breathing heavily]
[chair creaks]
Hmm.
Finally.
Welcome to
the world of your karma.
You made my life nothing
but a mess.
[chuckles softly]
That's quite an accusation.
[footsteps approaching]
But I'm nothing
more than a mirror,
reflecting
your life.
[footsteps suddenly halt]
What do you want from me?
My body?
Just get it over with.
I will,
but I'm not in a hurry.
I'm in a mood for a good show.
[footsteps receding]
Just do whatever you
want with me. Just
leave my life for good.
I came here to end this,
once and for all.
[snickers]
[sobs]
Sounds like a plan.
All right, then.
Let's start the show.
[remote control clicks.]
[soft music begins]
[bag thuds]
[footsteps approach]
[soft sobs]
Stop now.
Your journey with me ends here.
You can put up your dress.
What?
I don't understand.
You heard me correctly.
You can put up your dress.
[footsteps]
Was this all just a joke to you?
A mere gist,
like the one you played
on your husband
by fucking strangers
you found on Soulmate,
and the one he played on you
by sleeping
with your best friend.
How you people live in
constant betrayal?
[stifled sobs]
Don't you feel sick?
Who are you
to judge our morality?
I am the one liberating you
from your sins.
You are a fucking psychopath.
You've turned my life
into a nightmare for nothing?
For the fear of me
to live in you
and keep hunting
the devil inside you
for the rest of your life.
[phone rings]
[Mia on phone]
Tell me the doctor's name.
[Noha on phone]
What are you going to do?
[Mia on phone]
Because he fucked up my life,
and I'm gonna finish this.
[Noha on phone] I can't, Mia.
It's against the law.
[Mia on phone] Just tell me
his fucking name, damn it!
[Noha on phone]
It's Joseph Woods.
[call disconnects]
[sighs]
Mia? Hello?
[breathing quickens]
[hurried footsteps]
It was Noha, right?
[footsteps stop]
I can't believe you
would do this to our marriage.
[dark music begins]
Yes.
I made a terrible mistake.
But it didn't happen
in a vacuum.
You've been cheating
on me for months!
I felt alone,
[gasps]
Neglected, unloved,
and you've been off,
sneaking around,
fucking other women
while I've been home,
needing your attention!
Mia,
I am sorry,
[deep inhale]
But that doesn't
justify your betrayal.
[shallow breathing]
[ominous music swells]
[hurried footsteps]
[vehicle passes by]
Hey.
[hurried footsteps]
Hey! Who the hell are you?
Tell me how he contacts you.
I wouldn't tell the police
without a court order,
- and I'm not telling you.
- I'm not a cop.
I'm not looking for
medical info.
Just tell me
how he contacts you!
I won't help you.
I'm not going to help you.
[strained grunt]
- Don't fuck with me!
- No!
[groans in pain]
My arm, bitch!
Listen.
I'm gonna find this guy.
[deep exhale]
I'm gonna end this today.
I save lives.
I won't help you kill.
Let's be clear.
[groans]
You're only helping yourself.
You're supplying him
[groans]
To save your life.
[grunts]
I don't even have an account.
[low groan of pain]
I don't care!
That's the whole point.
If it's illegal, it doesn't matter.
It's not my fucking business.
[low groan of pain]
So, there's no reason
for a court order.
There's no reason
for Inspector Noha
to check those prescriptions.
There's no reason for your wife,
your girlfriend,
boyfriend whatever,
to know anything.
[groans]
Okay, I'll help you.
Okay.
I'll help you. Okay, okay.
[groans]
You fucked my arm!
[slams]
I'm trying to unfuck your life.
How did he contact you?
He texts me.
How often?
He's always after me.
Show me how you do the hand off.

Hi, you've reached Mia Stark.
I'm not at the phone right now.
Leave me a message.
Hi, you've reached Mia Stark.
I'm not at the phone right now.
Leave me a message.
Becky! Becky,
trace this phone number and
give me the current location of it.
Just a moment, sir.
[rapid typing]
[nervous footsteps]
She's here.
[system alert chimes]
But what the hell is she
doing there?
[system alert chimes]
We were there for the raid.
Sir,
what's wrong?
Sergeant, get the cars ready.
We're moving out now. Go!
Go, go, go!
[car stops]
[foreboding music rises]
[car passes by]
[door knocks]
[breathes heavily]
[door clicks open]
[breathing becomes ragged]
[door opens]
What?
[breath trembles]
[footsteps approach]
Mia.
Finally, we meet in person.
[breathing quickens]
Otherwise, I see you
only on the screen.
[deep inhale]
I was told that
you wanted to see me.
[breath trembles]
You...
You made my life hell!
[breathes heavily]
You ruined it!
[scoffs]
You bastard!
Did I ruin it?
Did Oliver?
Did you yourself?
[laughs]
I just revealed the truth, Mia.
The truth.
[laughs]
[coughs]
You think this is a joke?
It is all a joke, Mia.
At least it was before
Oliver called the police.
Now give me the medicine.
I want the laptop,
and every backup to be deleted.
Don't play with me, Mia.
Or I will ruin you!
[screams]
[groans]
[grunts in pain]
[breathes heavily]
[ominous music swells]
Your madness took lives.
I didn't take anyone's life.
They're just sinners
like your husband, and you.
[breathing becomes ragged]
Why people don't think
of their loved ones before
[sharp exhale]
Diving
into the shit of their lust?
[groans]
The sin took my mother's life.
[breathing quickens]
My childhood,
my sickness.
Everything because of this
fucking betrayal!
Fuck those people!
[breathes heavily]
That doesn't give you
the right to play games with them!
[gasps]
Humans and their relationships,
they're complicated!
[deep exhale]
A sicko like you,
you'd never understand that!
Shut the fuck up!
You're all sick!
[gasps]
You take vows,
you break them,
and justify your sins!
[snickers]
[breathing quickens]
[distant rumble]
[grunts in pain]
[rushed footsteps]
[breath trembles]
[breathing quickens]
[metal clangs]
[grunts]
Shit!
[sighs]
- Where's the laptop?
- People like
like you and Oliver
[holds breath]
like Eva.
People like us, we...
we... we didn't do anything!
It is okay
that you have affairs?
That Oliver fucks Eva?
Shut up!
What about your promises?
Promises?
Love,
honor.
Obey!
My father made that promise.
[deep inhale]
[book slams down]
Tell me, where's the laptop?
He was a cheater.
Everyone in the neighborhood
knew about it.
They called me names.
They said
[gasps]
I was an illegitimate.
I was a bastard!
[breathes heavily]
I never had friends.
[gasps]
I was a small child!
What was I to do?
[door clicks open]
[shallow breathing]
That didn't give you
the right to hurt anyone.
[deep inhale]
Taleb!
[slow exhale]
Last chance.
[snickers]
Last chance?
I never had a chance!
That's why I have to do what I do.
That's why I have to make
[deep inhale]
People face themselves
face the evil that they are!
Who are you
to decide what's evil?
Who are you to decide
who to punish just because
your father was
a piece of shit to you?
That's between you and him.
You have no right
[deep exhale]
To tell me or to tell anyone
who to love or how to love them!
[shallow breathing]
You're...
[sighs]
You're not the first one.
You're
the only one who had the courage
[holds breath]
To face me.
Is that what you want?
[breathes heavily]
Then tell me,
where
is the laptop?
[breathes heavily]
You will never
get away with this.
[sighs]
Then I have no choice.
[shallow breathing]
You decide.
[packet thuds]
Your life
or mine?
[laughs]
You played it well, bitch!
[breathing becomes ragged]
[grunts]
[groans in pain]
[breathes heavily]
[packet rips open]
[nervous breathing]
[breathing quickens]
It's just the end
of a new beginning.
I will never stop hunting
sinners like you.
[breathes heavily]
[coughs]
[writhes in agony]
[coughs]
Do you know what happens
when an animal is out of control?
[coughs]
We lock it up.
[shudders in pain]
Or we kill it.
What?
What is happening to me?
[convulses in pain]
[shudders in pain]
Are you looking for this?
[breathes heavily]
Okay, you win!
Just give me
[gasps]
The vial
and I'll leave you both
forever alone.
You know what?
[breathes heavily]
I don't believe you.
[breathing quickens]
[bottle shatters]
[deep exhale]
[police sirens getting closer]
[cars come to a halt]
[door opens]
Keep up!
Go!

Go, go, go! Move it! Go, go, go!
[hurried footsteps]
[breathing heavily]
[door beeps open]
[hurried footsteps]
[sharp exhale]
[music slowly builds]
It's empty, sir.
[slow exhale]
He's not here.
[shallow breathing]
[phone notifications chime]
They're here. Come on!
What?
[rushed footsteps]
- Go!
- Go!
- Spread out!
- Let's go.
[hurried footsteps]
[music grows darker]
- Quick!
- Faster!
Come on!
[breathes heavily]
Mia!
Where is she?
What the fuck?!
Where is she?
[laughs]
This is what happens.
The ones who are evil go free
- and shameless ones.
- Oh, shut the fuck up!
Survive.
Look at yourselves.
You betray each other,
trapped in your evil lies!
[deep inhale]
Evil lies!
Now, shut up!
You think you arrested me?
[grunts]
You think... you think
you've stopped Taleb?
Not as long as
there are cheaters...
Shut up, you!
And whores.
And Taleb will keep
hunting them down!
[music fades away]
[heavy breathing continues]
[door clicks shut]
Honey, I'm home.
[gunshot]
[motorcycle engine hums]
[footsteps approaching]
[tape seals]
[gentle music plays]
And another sex tape?
[lighter clicks]
Good morning, sir.
Not for them, is it?
- Sir?
- I'm sorry. Bad joke.
What do we know?
Not a lot.
Is it what it looks like?
Murder-suicide?
- Yes, but...
- Sergeant Chiam,
are we going to find
another sex tape on that laptop?
Forensics and
tech are on their way.
As soon as they can,
we'll find out what's on the laptop.
This would be what,
the third case that we know of?
Sir, we don't know.
Yes, we do.
[upbeat music plays]
[bus engine revs]
Excuse me. Is something wrong?
Are you looking for
some place special?
As a matter of fact, I am.
I'm... I'm looking for
God's house.
Can't seem to find it.
God's house? You mean a temple?
No. I mean God's flat.
Um, I was told
he lives on this street.
I'm afraid I don't understand.
God lives in
one of these buildings, you know?
These buildings we are passing.
Some say God is everywhere.
Some are full of shit.
God has a flat on this block,
just like the people
behind those windows, you know?
The ones that
are laying now in bed
and grabbing a quick
fuck before going to work.
He's probably getting
a quick fuck himself.
God invented fucking, you know?
Probably took him
a lot of trial and error.
Guess he wouldn't mind
that part though,
poking it in
one hole after another.
Yeah.
He probably enjoyed
the experimentation.
Why would you say
such a blasphemous thing?
It's not a blasphemy,
balderdash, or baloney.
It's just God
and those big balls of his.
[bus brakes hiss]
[door knocks]
Coming!
[door slides open]
Yes?
Hello, ma'am.
It's Yasin Mobile Shop.
- We got a complaint.
- Oh, yes.
- Please, come in.
- Thank you.
Uh...
- Where's the router?
- Ah, there.
Oh.
[footsteps approaching]
[bag thuds]
[bag zips open]
[gentle music plays]
[box thuds]
[box clicks open]
[screw tightening]
Is this your husband?
Huh? Yeah.
[glass clinks]
I hope you can figure it out.
The whole house runs off that.
[glass clinks]
The internet
was doing fine, and then, suddenly,
- you know...
- No problem.
[glass clinks]
You seem to be very sure.
Whatever your problem is,
I can fix it.
[glass clinks]
[glass taps the table]
- Do you want some water?
- Yes, water, please.
[bottle cap twists off]
[water pours into a glass]
[box clicks shut]
[bottle slides]
Miss,
could you please check?
It should be working.
That quick?
Do you not like a quickie?
Mm.
It was just a bad connector.
[screen taps]
Yes,
it's working. Fantastic.
What do I owe you?
I'll give you
my details, and...
[beep]
This is the invoice.
[notification beeps]
Okay.
Is your husband famous?
No. Why?
[box lid closes]
I feel like I've met him.
[box clicks shut]
I seriously doubt it.
Where would that be?
I provide
a variety of services to
a variety of clients.
[bag zips shut]
I'm sure you do.
Services like home monitoring,
digital forensics,
cybersecurity.
And what would that
have to do with my husband?
He sells sailboats,
yachts to rich foreigners.
And if I remember correctly,
he prefers woman on top.
Yeah, I remember he said,
'If I had to do
all the job in the office,
I don't want to do
all the job in bedroom.'
[sighs]
[message notification chimes]
Oh.
Thank you, ma'am.
If you require anything else...
I require proof.
You got my details.
[soft music]
[knock at the door]
You were correct, sir.
This is going to make me
happy then, isn't it?
It appears that the woman,
alleged murderer,
was watching a sex tape
of the alleged victim.
[pen taps the table]
Certainly not alleged,
Sergeant Chiam.
It has been confirmed
as the husband.
[tense music builds]
And the sex tape?
Do you really
want to view it, sir?
No, thank you.
Who was in the video
with the husband,
who I promise you
is a confirmed victim?
Young woman,
probably a local
Mauritian descent,
identity unknown.
But not the wife?
Not the wife.
I can fetch the video
if you'd like...
And this is number three.
That we know about,
- or that have had fatal outcomes.
- In three months.
We need to find a link.
Three is not a
coincidence, Sergeant.
Get tech to
cross-reference everything.
- I want them to dig.
- Yes, sir.
[door knocks]
[door creaks open]
Do you have evidence?
[door clicks open]
Are you trying to end
your marriage or fix it?
That is none of your busi
busi... business.
Do we need to
discuss this all here,
or we can talk inside?
[footsteps]
Henry, right?
Mm.
Sexy, right?
[soft music playing]
Look, I'm sure if she puts on
a good show,
maybe you'll learn something.
[door clicks shut]
Here's your proof.
[groans]
[grunts]
[heavy breathing]
Your husband has
a profile on Soulmate.
I want her name.
That's not what you paid for.
You wanted proof.
What if what I really want
is revenge?
[groans]
[sighs]
[slams]
You came for this?
Is that what you want, huh?
You can take it?
Is the revenge you want, huh?
Is this your plan?
[panting]
An eye for an eye,
fuck for a fuck, huh?
You're no different
than your husband.
[breathing heavily]
Stop! I said, 'Stop!'
Stop!
I said, 'Stop!'
Stop it.
[grunts]
But I'm not done yet.
[breathing heavily]
[gasping]
Give me the video.
[sighs]
[cash slaps against his face]
You're just like them.
You cheat, you lie,
and you think you can
buy your way out?
Huh?
[slap]
[slap]
[breathing heavily]
Get the fuck off!
Get the fuck off!
[door groans open]
[door slams shut]
[door clicks shut]
[door clicks open]
[gasps]
[scoffs]
You enjoy yourself?
Did you... Did you have a fight?
Sex.
Sex is violence.
It's about power.
Do you work?
I'm still studying.
Are you any good with computers?
Kind of, yes.
We'll have to see, Henry.
I'm thinking of
expanding my mission.
[suspenseful music]
[door slams open]
Police!
Hands up!
Hands up!
Drop the knife!
Drop the fucking knife!
[knife clatters to the floor]
Hands behind your head.
No, hands behind your head!
[suspenseful music builds]
Hands behind your head!
Walk towards me slowly.
[foreboding music]
Don't fuck with me.
Stop there.
You have the right
to remain silent.
What if I don't want
to remain silent?
Fine.
But I'm going to have
to search you anyway.
How thorough a search
are we talking about?
Very.
[dramatic music playing]
[gasps]
[music intensifies]
[chuckles]
[gasps]
I didn't realize what
a dangerous criminal you are.
And you...
[chuckles]
Bring a whole new meaning
to law and order.
[laughter]
Do you think that we got it all?
Ah, cinematic masterpiece,
I'm sure.
I make a good leading lady.
Of course, baby.
From the day of
our wedding night, remember?
Oh, how could I forget that?
But you know, love,
we didn't need
cameras and costumes back then.
We don't need them now, right?
It just adds spice,
variety.
But you don't need a
variety of leading ladies,
- do you?
- Babe,
[gasp]
You're all I care for.
And you know you're
an excellent director
when you're not taking advantage of
your lead actress.
[phone ringing]
[phone ringing]
Hi, Mr. Chris.
[Mia on phone] Yes, absolutely.
I can send that right over.
Yeah, okay.
You too.
Bye.
Babe,
can I borrow your laptop
for a second?
Yeah, of course.
Thank you.
[sighs] Okay.

[David on phone] Hello.
Ever give much thought
to your fellow man?
[David on phone] I told you never to
call me here!
Answer the question,
you dumb fuck.
[David on phone]
What... what question?
I... I don't know.
Well, if you did,
you would likely
find that the thing that
makes him even remotely interesting
is the thought that he actually
might shit himself
if his wife knew
what he'd been up to.
[David on phone]
No! You can't do that.
You said you wouldn't if...
Wonder what that
cow of yours would
think of a few
sordid shots of you
and your little tart.
[David on phone] No! Listen,
I've got the money you wanted.
I have it!
How can I get it to you?
Thought this might hasten
our agreement.
Well, you will have
to follow my instructions exactly.
[David on phone] I will,
but you have to delete
all those photos and videos.
Like you said, right?
[chuckles]
I say a lot of things.
So you listen closely
to what I'm saying now.
[Oliver on phone]
Yes, Mr. Vincent, I agree.
But our investment
has a certain parameter
which needs to be
met as well, right?
Sure.
I'll see what I can do.
Yeah.
No worries.
I'll be in shortly.
Ciao.
[giggles]
Ciao?
Yeah.
Makes me sound more
continental, don't you think?
[laughs]
Maybe a little bit.
[chuckles]
We're closing the new
fund tomorrow night,
and Philip wants to
have dinner afterwards, so...
[gasps]
What?
Babe, that's great!
Do you want
me to meet you there,
or are you going to come home?
[gasps]
What do you think I
should wear to something like that?
It's a client thing, babe,
and we'll likely be discussing
confidential details, so...
No one who hasn't
signed the NDA.
But, I mean,
what if I want to
spend the evening with my husband?
- Fuck their NDA.
- Babe,
we've talked about this.
This is why we came out here.
It's a great opportunity for us,
and in a couple of
years, we can just...
Yeah, but it's
a great opportunity,
for you.
For us, babe. For us.
Okay, but, I mean,
I had to leave
my job to support you.
And I had an exciting work life
in New York, Oliver.
If we were still in New York,
I'd have to do client
dinners every night.
- You know that.
- We're not in New York, Oliver!
And I seem to
be sitting at home
alone, in a foreign country,
- a lot.
- Mia,
I don't have time
for this now, right?
No.
You never have time for me.
Unless it's one of your
ridiculous sex games.
You said they were fun.
No, you said they were fun.
That they'd put some spice back
in our lovemaking, you said.
What?
Am I too boring to
make love to now?
No.
Without all this play-acting?
No, you're not boring,
but you're getting pretty
annoying right now.
[sighs]
Okay.
I'm sorry I'm being so annoying,
but you know what? Maybe.
I'd be less annoying
if you would just start
cooking for yourself
and cleaning for yourself.
So why don't you...
Go on, say it!
And go fuck myself, right?
Maybe it'd be better
than you fucking other women,
which I'm sure you're doing.
Are you trying to make me sorry
I married you?
Because you're doing
a pretty good job right now.
No.
I'm trying to make you love me,
the way you did once.
Oliver, like I love you.
[sighs]
Look,
we'll talk about it tonight.
I just don't have
the time right now.
[door clicks shut]
[car engine stops]
[gentle music plays]
Morning, guys.
Morning.
[lift dings, doors open.]
Morning.
[intercom beeps]
[receiver clicks]
[Oliver on phone]
Can I see you in my office?
[Eva on phone] Certainly, sir.
[door clicks open]
Hey, Oliver.
Cillian.
Hey.
Need a moment, Oliver.
Sure. What's up?
I'm aware Mr. Vincent
has been seeking your help.
He's a good man, Oliver.
I have known him and
his company for ages.
That may well be, Cillian,
but it doesn't mean
the company should invest
when the returns are
at risk, right?
Have you seen the balance sheet of
the company?
But you do favors for
some people.
[chuckles]
I'm not really sure what
you're referring to now, Cillian,
but if you have an
issue with me,
we can happily discuss
it after working hours, right?
Look,
Mr. Vincent's company has a downfall
for the past years,
but I'm sure with
this investment, he can turn around.
And we will have
good profit in return.
It's not going
to happen, Cillian.
Now, please.
I'm busy.
[sighs]
[footsteps recede]
[approaching footsteps]
[door clicks shut]
Hello.
Eva,
could you fax the Denoush Brothers
file to the head office?
It's urgent.
There's a party
at Insomnia tonight.
Wanna come?
[sighs]
I'd like to,
but I'm drowning in work.
Just too much work on my desk.
I can clear it for you.
Thanks, but
to be honest, I had
a fight with my wife this morning,
and I'll need to
leave early today.
That's okay.
I understand.
[file thuds]
I guess she's just a bit
better than me.
Hmm?
In the only way
that really matters.
Actually,
you both are pretty great.
Whatever.
[footsteps recede]
You know why.
I want you in my office so often?
Why?
'Cause I love
to watch you walk away.
[footsteps recede]
[gentle music plays]
[humming in the shower]
[groans]
[shower running]
[door clicks open]
[shower running]
[chuckles]
Not mad at me again, are you?
[chuckles]
Maybe.
[laughs]
Love you, babe!
Love you, too.
Listen, hurry and get out, okay?
I'm going to be late for work.
You can come in here with me.
Save time.
Come shower with me.
That could take even longer.
I could make it
worth your while.
[shower running]
Sir.
[footsteps approach]
All three were on Soulmates.
- The dating site?
- Yes.
Tell me as we walk.
So, Soulmates.
[suspenseful music]
Husbands? Wives?
No.
Just the men.
So, they were having affairs?
Affairs?
Hard to say,
but all of them were
cheating on their wives.
How do you know it was cheating?
Well,
for sure Mr. Dawood.
First death with the sex tape.
That was a confirmed suicide.
Yes, but he seemed
to be a serial cheater.
How so?
His first wife caught him
in an affair.
He left her for
another woman, a Brit.
Then his wife
swallowed a bottle of pills.
- Alibi?
- Mm, checked out.
Kids?
One, but he was at uni.
Blamed his father.
Wanna have a girlfriend?
I don't know.
What do you mean?
[coughs]
I'm warning you,
girlfriends lead you astray.
They spend all your money,
but perhaps the sex is
what makes it all worthwhile.
[coughs]
My mother says that.
I should stay away from you.
[coughs]
Your mother doesn't
trust men anymore, huh?
[sighs]
What's this?
It's today
and tomorrow.
My tomorrows.
[music swells]
Is it medicine?
Do you have to take it?
Think of it as an elixir,
the elixir of life.
Doctors say if I don't have it
when I need it,
well...
What's the problem?
Do you have asthma?
Forget what I have
and I don't have.
Let's get down to business.
How much money
does your mother make?
Around 12 to 15,000.
[scoffs]
9 hours of slavery everyday
for a paltry 15,000.
And what about you? Do you help?
No.
Want to work with me?
By doing what?
Basic computer work.
30,000 a month,
plus benefits.
Well,
I might
[cash lands on the table]
Work.
Here's 15,000 in advance.
You come straight
here after class.
Let me show you where you work.
I used to work for Soulmates.
[music builds]
The famous dating app?
The app
where people pay to get laid.
Yeah, that's the one.
I've hacked before
into their system, so now
[keyboard clicks]
I'm in fucking control.
Your task will be to
log as many people as possible.
Mhm-mm.
When you see that
two have matched,
check their chat boxes,
especially married people.
[click]
Why would a married person be
on a dating app?
The same reason
your father left your mother.
To get better than
what they are getting at home.
That's double dipping, huh?
Correct, my lad.
And our plan is simple.
You find those who are making it
outside the home as well as inside.
And?
And I make them pay
big time.
The more people we tap,
the more money we'll make.
Cool.
So, be on time tomorrow.
Sure you don't
want to start today?
[snickers]
[upbeat music]
That's great. Very well done.
Thank you, Oliver.
Our investment is in good hands.
Always happy to help.
We'll be sending you the
paperwork as soon as possible.
Okay.
[chair creaks]
Good night. Thank you.
[chair squeaks]
He thinks you're a
handsome investment.
Well, that's not
what he said, Eva.
I just think you're handsome.
Wait. What?
I ordered us nightcaps.
Well,
okay.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
[exhales deeply]
[breathes out slowly]
Well,
thank you for this, Eva.
I owe you.
I think we make a good team.
Yeah, but I should go.
But you just said that
you owe me.
[sighs]
Really? So,
what do you want?
This morning,
is there something new
you want to share?
Here?
I can't show you here,
Eva.
"In the dark we
are burning slow."
"City lights are watching,
but they'll never know."
"Every breath we take,
it's a stolen fire."
"Two hearts colliding
in the desire."
"So quick in the night,
we won't have to hide."
We should call a cab.
A cab?
[breathing heavily]
"Hold me closer,
don't you let it fade."
"This siren song's a
game we play."
"Wasting in the shadows,"
"hidden from sight."
"We'll keep the
secret of the night."
[music builds]
- This is how she does it.
- Yeah.
[gasps]
Is this how you like it?
Yeah.
"We'll keep the
secret of the night."
[door clicks open]
[gasps]
[footsteps approach]
Looks like you've had
more than enough.
[sighs]
Look, I had a long day at work,
and I'd really like to
relax, okay?
You've had a long day at work?
Every day this week.
And you're coming home
every night
reeking of booze.
I can handle my liquor, okay?
[sighs]
Look,
I just
need to unwind a bit, okay?
[gasps]
Hey, it's not
just tonight, Oliver.
You are drinking way too much.
It's bad for you.
I'm worried about you.
No need, love.
I can turn it off
whenever I want to, right?
Hey, you don't have to.
I'm not saying you have to
stop entirely.
You just need to
cut back a little bit.
Why are you always
trying to control
everything, Mia?
I don't fucking like it!
I'm not trying
to control you, Oliver.
I just want
what's best for you.
Oh, what's best for me?
And I suppose what's best for me
is for you to constantly
nag and criticize me, right?
That's not fair.
I... I just...
[gasps]
I just want us to be happy.
You know, like we were once?
Nothing ever stays like it once was.
Everything changes.
And maybe that's
a good thing, huh?
What are we even talking about?
What does that even mean?
I'm trying to say
that maybe
maybe...
[music builds]
Maybe I don't want to be
married to you anymore.
What?
Oliver, you don't mean that.
Why would you...
why would you even say that?
Fact of life, my dear.
Nothing stays the same.
Everything changes.
[music swells]
Nothing ever stays the same.
Nothing ever
stays the same.

Hello.
[distant train whistle]
[Mia on phone] Oh,
I'm definitely going to
check out that place
that you recommended.
[sighs]
I think that you
should come visit us.
Really. Maybe in the summer?
That'd be so nice.
Remember in New York?
We were at
[sighs]
The skate park together.
Yeah! Whenever
whenever you are free,
you have a place with us.
Absolutely.
God, it must be in my laptop.
Where did I put it?

[Oliver on phone]
Eva, do you have my laptop?
[Eva on phone] No.
[Oliver on phone]
Shit! Shit! Shit!
[Eva on phone] Did you enjoy
the clip I emailed you?
[Oliver on phone] Not right now,
Eva, for fuck's sake!
I have to find my laptop.
[Eva on phone]
What's the big deal?
Everything's password
protected, right?
I'll call the taxi company.
[Oliver on phone]
It was a stray taxi, damn it!
[Eva on phone]
Oh.
[sighs]
You're right.
Then register
a complaint about it?
[call disconnects]
[exhales deeply]
[soft music]
[footsteps]
Hey, good morning.
I'm looking for
a guy named Taleb.
All our technicians are contractors.
I'm not responsible for...
No, it's not like that.
My nephew knows him.
Says he's good with
computer and shit.
What's the problem?
I forgot the password.
[laptop taps the table]
And I'm locked out.
This is yours?
[hesitates]
It's my wife's.
I need to know what she's up to.
There's a service fee.
Of course.
Leave me your number.
I'll have Taleb
call you with a quote.
It's 5901.

[Noha on phone] Hello,
Inspector Noha speaking.
[Oliver on phone]
Noha, Oliver speaking.
[Noha on phone] Oliver?
[Oliver on phone] Mia's husband.
[Noha on phone] Hi, Oliver,
is everything okay with Mia?
[Oliver on phone]
Mia? Why? She's fine.
[hesitates]
[Noha on phone] It's nothing.
What can I do for you?
[Oliver on phone] Actually,
I need a bit of a favor.
[Noha on phone]
If I can. What's up?
[Oliver on phone] Last night,
I left my briefcase
in the back of a taxi.
Checked with the taxi company,
but they said it wasn't there.
[Noha on phone] Okay.
Leave it with me.
Let me see what I can do.
[Oliver on phone] Thanks.
[Noha on phone] It's
okay, Oliver.
[sighs]
[music intensifies]

I love Mia.
Fuck.
I...
me...
[music intensifies]
- Which company is this?
- Apple.
- Can I try?
- Yes, of course.
Hey, you said it was his wife's?
He said it was his wife.
Interesting password
for a woman.
[snickers]
Do you have Samsung?
That is not available.
Okay.
Thank you.
I bet your name is Mia.
What was that?
I'm in, but this laptop is fried.
- You want to call him?
- No way.
I don't want that
hot piece of shit in here.
He was your guy.
You deal with it.
[sighs]
[heavy exhale]
[music builds]
[snickers]
[footsteps approach]
- Good morning, sir.
- Good morning.
Sir, the cell phone logs
don't have any numbers
in common,
[sighs]
But they both have calls from
numbers that are no longer active.
Meaning burners.
Could be.
Perhaps visiting friends,
pay-as-you-go delivery guys.
Maybe.
And the banks?
The banks
are being difficult, sir.
[snickers]
That's why
these people move here, Sergeant,
because our banks
can be very difficult.
But your friend
would share unofficially
that Mr. Dawood did withdraw
a large sum of cash last month.
Sometimes
unofficial is all we get.
But I would prefer facts
that we can
bring into court, sir.
[heavy exhale]
And I would prefer to catch this
person before anyone else dies.
- Okay, sir.
- No.
My friend, Mia...
[gasps]
Her husband had
his briefcase and laptop stolen.
[sighs]
Check with your sources.
See if there's
anything we can do.
[paper unfolds]
Officially?
There's some
pretty important documents in there.
[gasps]
He's asking for a quite a favor.
[paper rustles]
Yes, sir.
[sighs]
[exhales deeply]
[sighs]
[door clicks shut]
Babe?
I'm out here!
[footsteps approach]
Come here and sit with me.
It's really nice.
[water trickles]
[footsteps approach]
[coat lands with a thud]
[deep exhale]
Oliver?
Sorry.
Shitty day.
Hmm.
The new fund?
Uh...
No. No, no, no. It's
that's fine. It's
my laptop.
It's gone.
Stolen.
[soft music playing]
Stolen?
Yeah.
I checked my car,
the restaurant,
the table we sat in.
[gasps]
Is there anything that
you can't get back?
[gentle music continues]
Oliver?
I called Noha.
Noha?
[sighs]
Why? Why did you call Noha?
He's in homicide.
I asked him to take a look.
[sighs]
Why don't you just
file an official report?
I mean,
what's missing?
[gentle music continues]
[gasps]
Any of our things?
[hesitates]
No, no, no, no.
It's just confidential docs.
I'd hate to have to
tell my clients.
[sighs]
But we're good?
Yeah. Yeah, baby, we're
we're good.
[sighs]
Hey, you want me to take a look?
I did used
to be a cop, you know.
You're gonna go
undercover on the
streets of Mauritius?
[gasps]
We're both gonna go undercover.

I don't care, I just need my meds.

No.

What are you wearing?
'Cause I'm naked now.
[Oliver on phone]
Stop playing, Eva.
Do you have my laptop?
[Eva on phone]
Do I what?
[Oliver on phone]
Did you steal my laptop?
Are you trying to get me fired?

As I told you on the phone,
my laptop was stolen, not lost.
Breaking my passwords
is not something some kid
could do, man.
[gasps]
And whoever has it now
is trying to blackmail me,
you see that?
I can see that.
Any idea who?
Half the bankers in Mauritius
would like to know what I know.
[sighs]
That's a lot of suspects.
[pen clicks]
[sighs]
Now that's funny for
a cop, isn't it?
But if confidential
info gets out,
there's a lot of people
who won't be laughing,
I promise you.
Then why'd you
leave it unprotected?
Are you serious?
[exhales deeply]
I'll get Tech to run this by.
[gasps]
Maybe we'll get lucky.
Maybe?
Do you even care?
[gasps]
Listen,
if we can trace the SIM
and get the IMEI number,
we can tell approximately
where it's been,
which is possibly where
this person or persons
who have your
property are located.
We can, and I assure you will,
put a trace on the number.
But the likelihood of them using
the same number now
that you're in play is...
[sighs]
Is slim.
What do you mean in play?
Now you know your laptop is
stolen, not lost.
You have no other option than to
answer unknown calls
until this plays through.
For fuck's sake,
is there nothing you can do?
If not for me,
for Mia.
[footsteps]
Sergeant!
[approaching footsteps]
Yes, sir.
Sergeant Chiam,
please take this to tech.
It's likely a burner SIM,
but I want to
learn everything about it ASAP.
Mm-hmm.
Thank you.
[retreating footsteps]
[sighs]
[chair creaks]
When you do deals,
do you let it get emotional?
No, of course not.
Then don't assume
that I'm not doing my job
because I'm not rushing around like
some trainee.
I'm going to do
what I can for you,
not because we know one another,
not because Mia is a former cop
and friend,
but because I'm a professional.

Heya!

Oliver, come on!
[sighs]
Oliver!
[lift dings]
Why have you been avoiding me?
[sighs]
I actually have
a lot of work to do.
- Oliver,
- [sighs]
what you said to me
this morning hurt.
[gasps]
I had to ask, okay?
Not like that.
Well, for all I know, you could
still be working with someone else.
[footsteps receding]
Oliver,
if I wanted to break you,
I wouldn't be fucking you.
So, why do you?
Because I love you.
We've talked about this.
I love Mia.
Things change.
[sighs]
[lets out a deep breath]

Were you really
naked this morning?
Right down to the freshly

[sighs]
[Oliver on phone] Hello.
[Taleb on phone]
Hello, Oliver. Hey.
I heard you lost your laptop.
And?
I would gladly
help you find it out,
but you know, everything
costs money.
And this is gonna cost you
let's say,
100,000 dollars.
[chuckles]
[Oliver on phone]
I... I don't have that.
[Taleb on phone]
Oh, Oliver.
Don't insult me.
I may not be able to
get into your bank account, but...
Oh, your statements
are stored as PDFs.
You silly boy.
You're lucky you didn't use
'heart for Mia'
on your bank account.
Trust me,
I tried.
[Oliver on phone]
Listen, I'm not gonna pay.
[Taleb on phone]
Do I really have to tell you,
what will happen?
[Oliver on phone]
I've already told my wife,
and I've spoken
to the police, so...
[chuckles]
[Taleb on phone]
The police have been
looking for me
for months, Oliver,
and they don't
even know that I exist
or what I'm doing.
[Oliver on phone]
Just return the laptop,
and we'll forget
the whole thing.
[Taleb on phone]
Forget?
[laughs]
Forget?
[chuckles]
No way.
I will never forget that video.
[Oliver on phone] You
listen to me carefully right now.
[gasps]
I'll find you, and I'll
crush you. Understood?
[line disconnects]
Fuck him. I'm not gonna pay.
[exhales sharply]
[incoming call]

[lets out a long sigh]
[phone ringing]
Hey, babe.
[Taleb on phone] Hey, babe.
[laughs triumphantly]
[gasps deeply]
See, Oliver?
I can be anyone, anywhere.
[ominous music plays softly]
How are you gonna find me?
I live in the shadows.
I like the shadows.
But you...
[chuckles]
You're gonna be famous.
This video will make
you and Mia internet stars.
Did you tell her
about the other one?
My email!
Us!
[music intensifies]
[irritated sigh]
[Taleb on phone]
It's okay, but
it ain't Mia.
Cash, small bills.
I'll give you details later.

Oliver, you have to
think this through.

No, no one.
Then why did you wake me up?
Because it's been
almost three hours.
[sighs heavily]
[gasps]
I'll try again.
[rapid typing]
[sighs heavily]
So, what do we do now?
[sighs]
We continue to wait.
For how long?
He's a bastard
to make us wait like this.

He's a criminal, Eva.
Most criminals

I'll keep it locked up,
we'll be fine.
Let's hope so.

How's life in the mines?
Uh...
I've got about
six potential victims.
They're not victims, Henry.
They do it of their own will.
They take promises,
they make vows,
they tell their children
not to cheat and lie,
and that's exactly how
they live their lives.
They're just sinners,
and they must learn.
Okay.
- Okay, cool, cool.
- It's not cool.
It's like swimming in a sewer.
That's why I need my meds.

Yeah.
[Taleb oh phone] Sit there

We're already here.
- He's coming.
- Mm.
[foreboding music rises]
[sighs]
[slow exhale]
He's making a fool
of us, Oliver.
[sighs]
If he wanted the money,
he would've come for it by now.
We're obviously dealing
with some kind of psycho.
I don't know what to do.
We can't keep staying away
from the office for so long.
I know, but...
[phone rings]
[Oliver on phone] How long are you
going to keep playing this?
Why don't you
just come get what you've asked for?
[Taleb on phone] There is a train
standing on the platform.
Get on it.
[Oliver on phone] Who do you think
you are? I'm a...
Shit!
Well?

Okay.
Fuck!
[music grows darker]
[phone rings]
Thank you for
the payment, Oliver.
- What?
- He took the money.
[car stops]
You didn't have to
come all the way here.
I could have got a cab.
Now it'll take you even
longer to get back.
It's fine.
Can you stay a little while?
I'm alone.
I can't, Eva.
He'll stop now,
right, Oliver?
Now that he's
got the money, he'll stop.
[sighs]
I have to go.

Huh?

[footsteps]
Ollie, is this for you?
[bag zipper opens]
Coming!
[gasps]
Babe, what the hell is this?
Uh...
It's work stuff.
It should not have
been sent here.
[hesitates]
Babe, talk to me about this.
Please.
[music slowly builds]
[taps on phone screen]
[phone begins ringing]
Oliver, you got my note?
What is this?
Nothing much.
It was just a test.
Are you fucking with me?
No, no, no.
At first, I wanted the money, but...
Money is easy.
I can always get money.
Then what the fuck do you want?
I want what you've got.
Something valuable.
I want Mia.
What about that?
You son of a bitch.
Have you lost your mind,
you motherfucker?
One night with Mia,
and all your troubles are over.
You're crazy!
I would never...
Don't make me bomb the
internet with your sex life, okay?
[footsteps recede]
Oliver, you got to talk to me.
What's going on?
You have to tell me.
I fucked up.
At work?
[sighs]
[deep inhale]
There was a video on my laptop.
A video?
Just the one.
Just one?
Of us.
[slow exhale]
Which one?
The last one.
It was, it was so great, I...
Oliver, you swore to me
that those were never
going to leave the house.
I...
Bullshit!
Why wasn't your laptop secured?
It was!
It was!
[gasps]
But this guy hacked it, and...
[gasps]
At first, he just wanted money.
Then he found the video.
So,
you paid him
[gasps]
And then he gave the money back?
Yeah.
So, what? He wants more now?
What?
[sharp inhale]
[gasps]
He wants you.
[breath trembles]
[music slowly builds]
Oliver, if you told me
what was going on,
perhaps we would
have caught him by now.
No, if you would
have listened, Oliver,
the day he lost his laptop,
we wouldn't even be in this mess.
You have to help us.
I will, Mia.
Trust me.
Oliver,
when the train left Hill Road,
which station did he actually
take the money from?
I told you, I dozed off.
When I woke up,
the money was gone.
Not sure which station it was.
How about when he called you
after taking the money?
Where were you then?
Uh...
The train was pulling out,
but I don't know
exactly from where.
Do you remember
what time you boarded the train?
- 5:00 p.m.
- 5:00 p.m.
How about roughly what time
you fell asleep and woke up?
I must have dozed off about
five minutes after I left.
Hmm.
Slept for about
20 minutes or so.
Hmm.
Wait,
he called around the same time
he took the money,
so it must have
been 5:20 or 5:30.
Okay,
we'll get all the CCTV footage
of the different stations
and platforms around that time.
Do you recall
if there was anyone
on the train when you boarded?
No one.
It was empty.
Well, there was one kid,
[hesitates]
A student, I guess.
He had his nose in a book.
Did you happen to see
what he looked like?
I couldn't really see
much of his face.
I remember, though,
he was wearing a blue cap.
Mhm-mm.
Blue cap.
Might be just
the fellow we're looking for.
What's it? What's that mean?
Uh, because when I woke up,
looking for my bag,
the boy was gone
and so was the money.
Oliver, I would like you
to come down to the station
to file a police report.
[sighs]
I'm not sure.
Don't worry,
it'll be strictly confidential.
Moving forward, I'm going to have
both your phones under surveillance.
Don't worry,
we're going to catch this creep.
[footsteps]
You've been treating all day.
Where did all
this money come from?
Yeah, Henry,
did you hit a jackpot?
Kinda, yes.
Well, keep doing
what you're doing.
I like being treated this way.
Hey, don't you worry.
I plan to treat you all
very, very nicely.
- Okay.
- Yeah, so what's next, McD?
- Yeah, yeah, sure.
- Yeah.
Let's go.
[footsteps suddenly halt]
[ominous music begins]
[footsteps ascend the stairs]
[hesitates briefly]
Hey.
[footsteps suddenly halt]
I'm kind of running late.
- Okay.
- I got to go.
I'll see you in the school.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Yeah, bye, bye.
- Bye.
[footsteps hurrying away]

No!
Get him in the back. Come on.
Let's go. Grab him. Grab him.
- Get him in.
- Leave me! Leave me!
- I'm innocent.
- Hold him in.
I haven't done anything.
- You take the other side.
- Please leave me!
- Get the cuffs on him.
- Okay, okay.
You got it?
- No, no, I haven't done anything.
- Got it!
- Go, go.
- I'm really not lying! Believe me.

Hmm.
[bottle thuds]
This drug is used only for
patients suffering from FND.
FND?
Functional
Neurological Disorder.
It's a rare condition.
Affecting only 1 in
a million individuals.
It's occurs when a person
got the deep trauma,
it's disrupting nervous system.
Mhm-mm.
This can lead
to severe pain in the limbs,
- seizures,
- Mhm-mm.
And potentially
fatal consequences.
Can you find
who has prescribed it?
It's impossible
to avail this
drug on this island.
This drug is still in trial
by the company named
Relief in France, so
even obtaining it as
anywhere else in world
is quite difficult
at this stage.
Then how did it end up here?
Actually, you know,
there's a doctor
named Joseph Wood.
He used to work
with this company.
Now he's running a
clinic in Quatre Bornes.
So, that's the only connection.
I can find.
So, everyone,
keep up the good work.
As you can see, profits
went up by 10% from last year.
But still,
we need to target more
potential clients, and I suggest
to achieve our
next quarter target,
we need to identify
new profitable startup
and find sustainable solutions.
So everyone,
let's make this work, right?
[eerie silence]
What's going on?
Hmm.
[picks up the phone]
[huffs]
Your wife is smoking hot, man.
How dare you?
- Hey!
- You asshole!
What are you
doing? I didn't post it!
- Would you stop it?
- Oliver!
Stop it! What are you doing?
You think it's funny
to talk about my wife that way?
- Let it go!
- Huh?
- Are you serious, man?
- Shut the fuck up!
Stop it!
- Jesus!
- Oliver, come with me!
Oliver, stop it!
Fuck!
What are you doing?
Come on.
[groans]
I can't believe you.
What are you playing at?
That's not like you.
Come on, we can sort it.
[music builds]
[footsteps approach]
Hello, sir.
[music slowly builds]
[sighs]
What's this?
Need your signature
for the court order.
The doctor is not cooperating.
[pages turning]
Taleb had something
on the doctor.
The owner of
the Wi-Fi store said
he worked for a couple
of tech companies.
Did you hear anything
from Soulmates?
Nothing substantial.
[music slowly builds]
Send his profile over to Soulmates.
I think I know
what your gut is telling you.
Oliver's guy
is our guy.
Look, Mia, it's close.
We'll get the court
order tomorrow.
He could still post
everything,
[sobs]
And it would ruin us.
Would?
It has!
I'm fucked.
We confirmed
he worked for Soulmates.
I was never on Soulmates.
Oliver?
Just being clear.
This whole thing has been about
blackmail
and revenge.
Yep.
He's, he's not a serial killer.
[huffs]
I offered him the fucking money.
I've got to go.
[gasps]
Good night,
- Mia.
- Good night.
You're going to be okay.
It's fine. It's fine.
Thank you.
[door opens]
Snap out of it, Oliver.
[breathes heavily]
I was the one who got scammed,
not you!
Fuck!

I'm so fucked.

[Noha on phone] Who is this?
[Taleb on phone] I am
the man you are searching for, Noha.
So, how are you these days?
[Noha oh phone]
You tell me, sicko.
How's the mining?
Henry was very
talkative, you know.
Need to do a better
job of choosing your accomplices.
[chuckles]
[Taleb on phone] You think
you're smart, don't you?
[Noha on phone] Yeah.
Smart enough to know
the noose is tightening.
Do you feel it yet?
[Taleb on phone] You don't scare me.
I scare you.
[Noha on phone] Yeah,
as much as a shoe
heel scares a bug.
But if you haven't noticed
yet, you're the fucking bug.
[Taleb on phone]
Let's see about that.

Hello?
Fuck!
Becky, did you get the trace?
I'm working on it.

This person is on another call.
Put him on speaker.
[Oliver on phone] Look, you have to
stop all this, please.
[Taleb on phone]
Why do you keep screwing up, Oliver?
Or is it your friend Noha
who is making your situation worse?
[Oliver on phone]
I did everything you've asked.
What more do you want?
My car?
My house?
Just leave us alone, man.
I'm begging you.
[Taleb on phone] Oh, be careful
of what you're wishing for, Oliver.
To be left alone is
a terrible thing.
Terrible.
But I'll tell you what.
I'll give you one more chance
to get your life back.
We'll play a little game.
A little
question and answer game.
But you have to have
Mia with you, so she can play, too.
It's not just your life, Oliver.
It's her life, too, you know?
I'll call you tomorrow
at 10:00 a.m.
Be sure to answer.
[Oliver on phone] A game?
You can't be serious.

[Taleb on phone] Hello, Oliver.
Or is it Oliver
and Mia, as I asked?
[Oliver on phone] She can hear you.
[Taleb on phone]
Got a few questions for you.
Answer them all correctly
and I'll leave you two
lovebirds forever alone.
But if you miss one
you know what that means.
[Oliver on phone] Let's
just get this over with, okay?
[sighs]
[Taleb on phone]
Why rush so, huh?
I just started enjoying it.
[Oliver on phone]
Just ask the damn question.
[sighs]
[Taleb on phone]
Okay. So,
what is the capital of Congo?
[Oliver on phone] Is this
another one of your fucking jokes?
[Taleb on phone]
Just a warm-up. Answer it.
[Oliver on phone] Kinshasa.
[Taleb on phone] Whoa.
[laughs]
Aren't you brilliant?
[laughs]
Well, let's go
for the second question.
How does the childhood abandonment
manifest itself
in adulthood?
Huh?
[Oliver on phone]
How the fuck should I know, man?
[Taleb on phone] I admit
this is a tough one, Oliver.
I bet he's
talking about himself.
Psychos often do.
Trace it down.
[Taleb on phone] I'll help you.
Children who grow up in shitty
circumstances may feel unloved.
They may try to even sabotage
adult relationships
by pushing people away.
But this is a...
[laughs]
This is a hard one.
Let's replace it.
Last month, you took
a trip out of Mauritius.
Where did you go, and with whom?
[long pause]
Tell me, Oliver.
Where?
And with whom?
[tension music builds]
'Hey!'
'Babe, where are you going?'
'I told you, I'm going
to Cape Town for a client meeting.'
'Oh!'
'Sounds fun.'
'Can I go with you?'
[sighs]
'Babe.'
'Sorry, babe.'
'Company staff only.'
'One meeting after another.'
'You know how it is, right?'
Tell him.
Oliver, you were in
Cape Town at the meeting.
[chuckles]
[Taleb on phone]
Time to speak up, Oliver.
Right answer: Freedom.
And wrong answer...
[laughs]
[Oliver on phone] No.
I went to Kruger.
[music swells]
[laughs]
[Taleb on phone] Well done, Oliver.
But don't forget the
second part.
With whom?
[music grows darker]
[Oliver on phone] I'm sorry, Mia.
[sobs]
I went there with Eva.
[gasps]
What?
[chuckles]
You betrayed me.
[music intensifies]
How could you?
[Taleb on phone]
That's a good question, Mia.
But
not as good as the
one I have for you.
[Mia on phone]
What?
Me?
[hesitates]
I don't want to
answer any questions.
That's enough. We're not...
We're just going to hang up.
[Oliver on phone] Wait.
Go on.
[Taleb on phone]
It's gonna be an easy one.
I'm sure you remember, Mia.
When Oliver was in
Kruger National Park with Eva,
you were watching a movie,
and later
sharing the sheets with...
[gasps]
Have you got the trace?
[Oliver on phone]
You asshole. We've
we've had enough of this.
[Taleb on phone] Well,
well, well, a lover's spat.
Who would have thought?
Wouldn't you like Oliver to know
who Mia was with that night?
[snickers]
[Oliver on phone]
I don't believe this.
[sobs]
[Taleb on phone] Well, take
a good look at your wife, Oliver...
[sobs]
And believe your eyes.
[suppressed sobs]
Got him.
He's in Port Louis.
But wait,
what the hell is this?
[Taleb on phone] By the way, kids,
this means you lose the game.
You have precisely one week
to provide me with what I ask for,
otherwise your
parents, your friends,
and everyone across
the internet will see
the kinky sex games
you have to perform
to simply get off.
[Mia on phone]
I will destroy you, psycho.

[Doc on phone] Hello.
[Taleb on phone] Why you gotta
mess up our bond like this, Doc?
[Doc on phone]
Your doses have been up,
and you know I gotta deal with
some shady stuff to get your meds.
It takes time.
[Taleb on phone]
I've been hearing this
for the past couple of days, Doc.
My situation here is
getting worse by the minute.
[Doc on phone]
I'm sorry, I promise.
Nothing's gonna happen to you.
I'm hustling to
sort this out ASAP.
[Taleb on phone]
Time's running out, Doc.
A messenger's on his way
to spill the beans to your wife
about your fling
with the nurse.
[Doc on phone]
Please, man. Come on, don't do that.
Please, don't do that,
you don't have to do that.
I've told you before,
don't make me suffer.
[Taleb on
phone] Your peaceful life depends on
how quick I can get my meds.
[Doc on phone] I'm sorry.
I'm doing everything I can.
I should be able to hook you up with
the supply by tomorrow afternoon.
Afternoon, huh?
'Cause if not,
your evening's gonna be real rough.

Welcome to

You made my life nothing
but a mess.
[chuckles softly]
That's quite an accusation.
[footsteps approaching]
But I'm nothing
more than a mirror,
reflecting
your life.
[footsteps suddenly halt]
What do you want from me?
My body?
Just get it over with.
I will,
but I'm not in a hurry.
I'm in a mood for a good show.
[footsteps receding]
Just do whatever you
want with me. Just
leave my life for good.
I came here to end this,
once and for all.
[snickers]

Sounds like a plan.
All right, then.
Let's start the show.

Your journey with me ends here.
You can put up your dress.
What?

You heard me correctly.
You can put up your dress.
[footsteps]
Was this all just a joke to you?
A mere gist,
like the one you played
on your husband
by fucking strangers
you found on Soulmate,
and the one he played on you
by sleeping
with your best friend.
How you people live in
constant betrayal?
[stifled sobs]
Don't you feel sick?
Who are you
to judge our morality?
I am the one liberating you
from your sins.
You are a fucking psychopath.
You've turned my life
into a nightmare for nothing?
For the fear of me
to live in you
and keep hunting
the devil inside you
for the rest of your life.
[phone rings]
[Mia on phone]
Tell me the doctor's name.
[Noha on phone]
What are you going to do?
[Mia on phone]
Because he fucked up my life,
and I'm gonna finish this.
[Noha on phone] I can't, Mia.
It's against the law.
[Mia on phone] Just tell me
his fucking name, damn it!
[Noha on phone]
It's Joseph Woods.
[call disconnects]
[sighs]
Mia? Hello?
[breathing quickens]
[hurried footsteps]
It was Noha, right?
[footsteps stop]
I can't believe you
would do this to our marriage.
[dark music begins]
Yes.
I made a terrible mistake.
But it didn't happen
in a vacuum.
You've been cheating
on me for months!
I felt alone,
[gasps]
Neglected, unloved,
and you've been off,
sneaking around,
fucking other women
while I've been home,
needing your attention!
Mia,
I am sorry,
[deep inhale]
But that doesn't
justify your betrayal.
[shallow breathing]
[ominous music swells]
[hurried footsteps]
[vehicle passes by]
Hey.
[hurried footsteps]
Hey! Who the hell are you?
Tell me how he contacts you.
I wouldn't tell the police
without a court order,
- and I'm not telling you.
- I'm not a cop.
I'm not looking for
medical info.
Just tell me
how he contacts you!
I won't help you.
I'm not going to help you.
[strained grunt]
- Don't fuck with me!
- No!
[groans in pain]
My arm, bitch!
Listen.
I'm gonna find this guy.
[deep exhale]
I'm gonna end this today.
I save lives.
I won't help you kill.
Let's be clear.
[groans]
You're only helping yourself.
You're supplying him
[groans]
To save your life.
[grunts]
I don't even have an account.
[low groan of pain]
I don't care!
That's the whole point.
If it's illegal, it doesn't matter.
It's not my fucking business.
[low groan of pain]
So, there's no reason
for a court order.
There's no reason
for Inspector Noha
to check those prescriptions.
There's no reason for your wife,
your girlfriend,
boyfriend whatever,
to know anything.
[groans]
Okay, I'll help you.
Okay.
I'll help you. Okay, okay.
[groans]
You fucked my arm!
[slams]
I'm trying to unfuck your life.
How did he contact you?
He texts me.
How often?
He's always after me.
Show me how you do the hand off.
[footsteps approach]
[rapid breathing]
[breathing becomes ragged]
[car follows closely]
[car horn honks]
[car pulls to a stop]
[rushed footsteps]
[door slams shut]
[phone rings]
Hi, you've reached Mia Stark.
I'm not at the phone right now.
Leave me a message.
Hi, you've reached Mia Stark.
I'm not at the phone right now.
Leave me a message.
Becky! Becky,
trace this phone number and
give me the current location of it.
Just a moment, sir.
[rapid typing]
[nervous footsteps]
She's here.
[system alert chimes]
But what the hell is she
doing there?
[system alert chimes]
We were there for the raid.
Sir,
what's wrong?
Sergeant, get the cars ready.
We're moving out now. Go!
Go, go, go!
[car stops]
[foreboding music rises]
[car passes by]
[door knocks]
[breathes heavily]
[door clicks open]
[breathing becomes ragged]
[door opens]
What?
[breath trembles]
[footsteps approach]
Mia.
Finally, we meet in person.
[breathing quickens]
Otherwise, I see you
only on the screen.
[deep inhale]
I was told that
you wanted to see me.
[breath trembles]
You...
You made my life hell!
[breathes heavily]
You ruined it!
[scoffs]
You bastard!
Did I ruin it?
Did Oliver?
Did you yourself?
[laughs]
I just revealed the truth, Mia.
The truth.
[laughs]
[coughs]
You think this is a joke?
It is all a joke, Mia.
At least it was before
Oliver called the police.
Now give me the medicine.
I want the laptop,
and every backup to be deleted.
Don't play with me, Mia.
Or I will ruin you!
[screams]
[groans]
[grunts in pain]
[breathes heavily]
[ominous music swells]
Your madness took lives.
I didn't take anyone's life.
They're just sinners
like your husband, and you.
[breathing becomes ragged]
Why people don't think
of their loved ones before
[sharp exhale]
Diving
into the shit of their lust?
[groans]
The sin took my mother's life.
[breathing quickens]
My childhood,
my sickness.
Everything because of this
fucking betrayal!
Fuck those people!
[breathes heavily]
That doesn't give you
the right to play games with them!
[gasps]
Humans and their relationships,
they're complicated!
[deep exhale]
A sicko like you,
you'd never understand that!
Shut the fuck up!
You're all sick!
[gasps]
You take vows,
you break them,
and justify your sins!
[snickers]
[breathing quickens]
[distant rumble]
[grunts in pain]
[rushed footsteps]
[breath trembles]
[breathing quickens]
[metal clangs]
[grunts]
Shit!
[sighs]
- Where's the laptop?
- People like
like you and Oliver
[holds breath]
like Eva.
People like us, we...
we... we didn't do anything!
It is okay
that you have affairs?
That Oliver fucks Eva?
Shut up!
What about your promises?
Promises?
Love,
honor.
Obey!
My father made that promise.
[deep inhale]
[book slams down]
Tell me, where's the laptop?
He was a cheater.
Everyone in the neighborhood
knew about it.
They called me names.
They said
[gasps]
I was an illegitimate.
I was a bastard!
[breathes heavily]
I never had friends.
[gasps]
I was a small child!
What was I to do?
[door clicks open]
[shallow breathing]
That didn't give you
the right to hurt anyone.
[deep inhale]
Taleb!
[slow exhale]
Last chance.
[snickers]
Last chance?
I never had a chance!
That's why I have to do what I do.
That's why I have to make
[deep inhale]
People face themselves
face the evil that they are!
Who are you
to decide what's evil?
Who are you to decide
who to punish just because
your father was
a piece of shit to you?
That's between you and him.
You have no right
[deep exhale]
To tell me or to tell anyone
who to love or how to love them!
[shallow breathing]
You're...
[sighs]
You're not the first one.
You're
the only one who had the courage
[holds breath]
To face me.
Is that what you want?
[breathes heavily]
Then tell me,
where
is the laptop?
[breathes heavily]
You will never
get away with this.
[sighs]
Then I have no choice.
[shallow breathing]
You decide.
[packet thuds]
Your life
or mine?
[laughs]
You played it well, bitch!
[breathing becomes ragged]
[grunts]
[groans in pain]
[breathes heavily]
[packet rips open]
[nervous breathing]
[breathing quickens]
It's just the end
of a new beginning.
I will never stop hunting
sinners like you.
[breathes heavily]
[coughs]
[writhes in agony]
[coughs]
Do you know what happens
when an animal is out of control?
[coughs]
We lock it up.
[shudders in pain]
Or we kill it.
What?
What is happening to me?
[convulses in pain]
[shudders in pain]
Are you looking for this?
[breathes heavily]
Okay, you win!
Just give me
[gasps]
The vial
and I'll leave you both
forever alone.
You know what?
[breathes heavily]
I don't believe you.
[breathing quickens]
[bottle shatters]
[deep exhale]
[police sirens getting closer]
[cars come to a halt]
[door opens]
Keep up!
Go!
[door slams shut]
[rushed footsteps]
Go, go, go! Move it! Go, go, go!
[hurried footsteps]
[breathing heavily]
[door beeps open]
[hurried footsteps]
[sharp exhale]
[music slowly builds]
It's empty, sir.
[slow exhale]
He's not here.
[shallow breathing]
[phone notifications chime]
They're here. Come on!
What?
[rushed footsteps]
- Go!
- Go!
- Spread out!
- Let's go.
[hurried footsteps]
[music grows darker]
- Quick!
- Faster!
Come on!
[breathes heavily]
Mia!
Where is she?
What the fuck?!
Where is she?
[laughs]
This is what happens.
The ones who are evil go free
- and shameless ones.
- Oh, shut the fuck up!
Survive.
Look at yourselves.
You betray each other,
trapped in your evil lies!
[deep inhale]
Evil lies!
Now, shut up!
You think you arrested me?
[grunts]
You think... you think
you've stopped Taleb?
Not as long as
there are cheaters...
Shut up, you!
And whores.
And Taleb will keep
hunting them down!
[music fades away]
