Hey.
Hi.
What do you think?
Yeah, yeah, it's amazing, huh?
It is amazing.
Yeah, it's like a secret garden.
Looks magic.
Yes. No, no, completely empty until...
Okay, all right.
Um... So I'll see you later?
Yes, I'll see you later.
Oh, no, wait, uh, did you get a package?
So you think you're all grown
up, ready for adventures?
You need a magic key.
So now you've reached the door,
you just need to believe in me.
I know it's not been easy
between us these last months.
But whatever happens,
I will always love you.
And if we follow our hearts
it will all fall into place.
I promise you.
You just have to trust me.
Happy birthday.
Open.
I love you.
Okay.

One.
Don't you trust me?
Okay.
All right. Come closer. Okay, ready?
Three, two, one.

Yeah, it's the middle of
the f***ing night, what?
Wait! Take it easy.
Where is she?
Okay, okay, okay, okay! Where is... I'm...

There's no one else here.

Where the f*** is she?
Downstairs, move. Outside!

- Hey, hey, hey, hey! Hey!
Take your hands off her, get
your f***ing hands off her now!
- I'll blow her f***ing brains out!
- Take your hands off her!
I'll blow her f***ing brains out!
No! No!
You try and follow me, I'll
blow her f***ing brains out.
Slater! No!
- Help me!
- Get in!
Are you listening?
I'm listening.
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
I'm listening.
If you want Nadia to be
safe then you need to listen
and you need to do
exactly what we tell you.
I'm listening.
You need to go back to the house.
Are you listening, Slater?
You need to go back to the house.
Now.
Seriously. Seriously...
Are you listening...
If you want Nadia to be safe then...
Seri... Na...
Hello, Slater.
The dead woman you're
looking at is not Nadia.
The dead woman you're
looking at is not Nadia.
Nadia is alive.
Are you listening, Slater?
To keep her alive, you
must come and talk to us.
Are you listening, Slater?
Go to the window at the front.
What will the police think, Slater?
Are you standing over the
body of your dead girlfriend?
Who are you?

I'm happy you made the choice
to come in today, Slater.
Where's Nadia?
We said we would keep her
safe if you came in today.
- What does that even mean?
- And I can give you my word...
What does that...
...she is safe, even happy.
I... She's not happy.
Where is she?
Let me tell you about identicals.
No! Where is she?
Let me tell you about identicals.
Stop! Stop! Stop!
What the f*** are you talking about?
It's a small thing.
What's a small thing?
They didn't know you were gonna be there.
If all had gone well, if she had
opened the door and not you, well,
you'd now be happily
living with a new Nadia.
Yeah, okay, so there's a new Nadia.
Do you... Do you hear
what I'm trying to say?
I don't... I don't want a new Nadia,
I didn't want a new Nadia. I
want to know where my Nadia is.
Please. Please just tell
me you have my Nadia.
Two Nadias in the same life
space, that's just not possible.
You have the dead Nadia now.
What the f*** is a life space?
You have the dead Nadia now.
My girlfriend is not dead!
Police have identified
the body of a young woman
found at the house in this
street as Nadia Seville.
They're also searching for a man
believed to be her boyfriend.
His name's Slater Brenner.
We've spoken to neighbors
here in the street,
they said they heard the sound of
a struggle earlier this morning.
Police are treating
this as suspicious
and asked anybody with information
to contact them in
the incident room.
The number is 08081570570.
Live at the scene, I'm
Anthony Davis. Back to you.
That's... That's not my girlfriend.
We believe your story.
We're trying to help you.
I didn't do anything! I didn't do anything.
Let me tell you about identicals.
You just met one tonight, briefly.
That's not my girlfriend, that's...
Let me explain our core service.
We help customers look for that person
who looks like them, talks
like them, walks like them.
Identicals.
Identicals, but who are walking through
a more enjoyable, better life situation,
and then we support our customers
in the acquisition of that better life.
Okay.
What the f*** are you talking about?
Yes, I know.
No. What the f*** are you talking about?
Yes, I understand.
These are difficult concepts,
but try and listen.
Nadia took a new life, Slater,
without looking back.
You now have a dead
Nadia in your life space.
Okay.
You will only ever have a
dead Nadia in this life space.
We can't roll back time.
You can't roll back time, yeah.
But we can try and help you.
You could let me profile
you, help you to move forward.
Identity cleanse.
You could find love again.
And what if I don't want to do that?
