Kept Woman

Synopsis: Jessica and her fiancé Evan just moved from the city into their dream home on a quiet suburban street. Soon after, Jessica catches her seemingly friendly new neighbor, Simon, in a strange lie and can't let her suspicions rest. The danger escalates when Simon lures her inside his home and imprisons Jessica in his secret bunker, meticulously decorated in the idealized style of the 1950's. Here she meets Robin, a woman who's been held captive by Simon for several years and brainwashed into living as his faithful companion - a fate that is now set for Jessica unless she can somehow find a way to escape from Simon's time-warped prison.

Ah!

OK!

OK.

We're safe.

What did you really

think of the play?

Well...

I love the design of

the program. It's..

Oh no!

No, I'm serious.

This is the real

work of art right here.

I bet you it was designed by a

talented, smart, beautiful woman

who's got great taste in men.

Come on! We're

almost there.

No, I can't do it!

Oh no!

I can't wait to get out of

these shoes and into a bath!

I love you in heels.

You don't wear them enough!

I'm sure you'll

see them again sometime...

next year!

Oh my God!

We've been robbed.

Ugh!

What?

My grandmother's jewellery.

Oh!

Stay back!

- Give me your wallet!

- Just calm down, all right?

And your purse!

Hand it over!

- That ring too.

- It's my engagement ring.

Either you give it to me

or I take it from you!

Just give it to him, Jess.

You follow me, I start shooting!

Oh my God!

It's OK, it's OK, it's OK.

Oh my God!

It's just stuff, all right?

At this point, we've done

everything we can do.

Evan?

Hey, Tyler!

Thanks for coming, man.

I know it's not your precinct.

Of course.

You guys OK?

Yeah, more or less.

Just a little shaken up.

Yeah, for sure.

Did you give your

statement to the officer?

Yeah, and he just left.

Did either of you get

a look at this guy?

It was just some random lowlife.

Yeah, there's a lot of

those in this neighbourhood.

We're going to the station

in the morning to do a sketch.

OK. Do you wanna show

me where he came in?

- Yeah.

- Yeah, follow me.

What are the odds of

actually catching this guy

and getting my

engagement ring back?

It's..it's hard to say.

Tyler.

I wouldn't get

your hopes up, Jess.

Do you wanna...

Yeah, let's go.

Jess?

What are you doing?

Moving.

Her face, when you've been

looking for a while

Left not a trace that

we're underneath the weather

And I tried to let go

And she slipped away

like a little girl

But I really wanna

make her mine

My girl would never say

What I need to hear

to make it all OK

So we try to make nice

so the kids won't know

For a little while

But it really

doesn't make it

I find you, alone awhile

With a heavy hand

and a dark-lit smile

And a fine time to regret

what I still don't know

And I really wanna

make her mine

She wants to know

just who I am

She wants to know

just who I am

But she can make you work

for the worth that she has

She wants to know

just who I am

All right, I got this one.

I got this one.

I got this.. Don't have it!

Don't have it!

- Oh! Whoa!

- Don't have it! Don't have it!

God!

You good?

Yeah!

- OK.

- I got this.

Hey, babe! Cheese!

No!

Come on, smile!

- Look at my hair!

I look..

You look great.

Yay!

OK! OK!

OK.

- We're done!

- We're done!

Well, we did it.

Yes, we did.

I just hope we can afford it.

We'll be fine.

I'll take on some more clients.

That'll definitely help.

Think how much money we'll save

by not getting our stuff stolen.

Picture?

You bet!

All right.

What we gonna do about this paste...

Maybe you can give to another woman

You don't know about that

You became so understood

I'm not

- ..

- Awww

Ssst..sst

Do you hear that?

I don't hear anything..

Exactly...

Doesn't agree...

Actually I hear a little..

Who is that?

I don't know

Hi!

Hi!

My name is Simon.

I live next door,

and I wanted to introduce myself

and offer a little welcome

to the neighbourhood.

Wow! Thank you very much!

Oh, my name's Evan,

and this is my fiance, Jessica.

Hi!

I.. Oh!

Charmed!

Oh, you look like you're

coming from someplace fancy!

No, uh, work.

I lecture at the university.

Cool!

What do you teach?

Men's Studies.

I'm so..

Uh, I'm sorry.

I thought you were kidding.

Technically, it's referred to

as "Men and Masculinity."

I didn't think there was that

much to know on the subject.

Jess is just kidding.

You got a real little

firecracker on your hands, Evan!

Yeah, you could say that!

You know what?

I'm sorry.

That was really rude of me,

and you are really

kind to bring this over to us.

Thank you so much.

We really appreciate it.

Would you, uh...

Do you want to come in and

have some of this with us?

It'll take me a minute

to find the wine glasses.

I would love to, but I have

some papers to grade,

and I imagine you have

some settling in to do.

When the kitchen is ready,

we'll have to have

you over for dinner.

Definitely!

- I look forward to that.

- Great.

- Good evening!

- Night!

Way to make a first

impression, Jess!

Aw, come on!

It was a joke!

Wow! This is a

really nice bottle.

Well, he's obviously

a classy guy.

- Oh!

- Just like me.

Hi... this is it

first morning for you

Thank you

For what..?

All of this..

I know moving is not your first choice

Don't go on it

I'll be go around..

let them little traffic

Sure are you Oke for the car?

Ya, I'm still stay...

I'm working away

- ..dinner get ready for you when you home

- wow... I'm going home already

I love you

I love you to..

"We believe in good design"

Hey, Oscar!

Hey, J! How's life

in the burbs?

Great!

Good for you, man!

I don't think I could survive

if I wasn't walking distance

to a coffee place

or a pizza shop.

- Yeah, I get it. Thanks.

- So, listen.

I've got something interesting

on the Sierra Marshall case

I wanna run by you real quick.

No, no. I really have

to be focusing on work.

All right,

but you're missing out!

It's kind of juicy!

OK!

A short break won't hurt, right?

What have you got?

All right, so, you remember

how the original suspect

was the brother-in-law, right?

He had an alibi, right?

That's what the press reported,

but guess who got hold

of the police report?

Mr. Goody Two-Shoes's story

has holes in it.

- Oh yeah?

- Mm-hmm!

Ah!

Yeah, I know what you're saying,

but who would he know that

had access to a forensics lab?

Who said he needed

to know anybody?

Jess! Is this thing on?

I'm over here!

We've been talking about

this all day! I gotta go!

All right, I'll catch you later.

OK.

Hey!

Hey, honey,

how..how was it?

Uh, it was brutal!

It, um, it was pretty much

bumper to bumper the entire way.

I'm sorry!

I hope dinner's not

too cold. I'm starving.

It's..it's not, because

I haven't started it yet.

- Oh.

- I'm sorry!

I just got caught up

with what I was doing.

No, that's OK.

I'm happy you had

a productive day.

I'll go whip up

a stir-fry or something.

- Did you finish your project?

- Not exactly.

Please don't tell me you

wasted an entire work day

on one of those

missing-persons cases.

No, I started on my project,

but then Oscar and I might

have made a breakthrough.

- Oscar?

- Yeah!

I don't wanna start something,

but I don't think it's fair

that you're chatting online

with some guy all day

while I'm out covering

the house payments.

I realize my name's

the only one on the mortgage,

but you promised we'd

be in this together.

You're right.

You're right.

And we are.

It's just the..

it's just the first day.

OK, OK.

Please, Evan!

Give me a half hour.
