The Chameleon Page #3

Synopsis: Based on a true story, this film looks at what happens when a serial impostor in Europe passes himself off as a missing boy from Texas. The missing boy's family welcomes him as their son, but the FBI quickly realizes something is amiss. Does the family's eagerness to accept the impostor mean they are just happy to have their loved one back, or are they trying to hide a more sinister event - perhaps what happened to their boy? But even more - who is this impostor who has talked his way into the United States and a family's home?

Her parents thought she had fled.

After 48 hours, yet there was no trace of him.

His parents were devastated.

Luckily they had the support of its neighbor, the godfather of Alec.

I went to his house several times, in the case.

Then we went to other places, together ...

not only in the case.

One night he invited me to dinner.

We drank, we laughed a lot ...

and for dessert, made a mistake. Lied.

It was a silly lie, unimportant.

I got up, I said I was tired ...

I smiled and left.

The next day I returned with a search warrant.

All I had was that little lie.

We had to break down the door.

I had searched the house.

Alec found in the basement ...

dead.

During dinner the night before, had been in the room below us ...

vivo.

Perhaps he heard us talking, laughing, joking ...

That guy pretending to be Nicholas Randall is not a boy, is a man ...

a liar.

Perverse, dangerous ...

Like that other guy.

Pancakes and jelly ... like when you were a kid.

I have no hunger.

Come on, is your favorite.

Why did you do that?

I'm not Nicky.

What are you talking about?

It all up. The abduction, torture ...

I am a liar posing as Nicky.

Basta. Just Nicky, do not say that's not true.

Then why did you let me FBI arrest this woman?

Why did you take me to see that doctor?

Nobody believes me! You, Mom, Brian. Nobody thinks I'm Nicky!

Stop. I'm so sorry.

Is that she insisted ...

You are my brother, right? I know.

How do you know? How can you be so sure?

I can not handle this ... I can not.

Stop messing with my wife! "Okay, Nicky ...

Nicky not? And do not know.

Kathy is a mess. Do you see what you're asking?

Anyway, everyone says that the real Nicky is dead.

So if your sister Kathy, which I doubt very much ...

bother you better stop, ok?

Jennifer, it's Nicholas. I need to talk.

At Fred's, on the river near the bridge. I'll wait there.

Nicholas.

I can not believe it. Are you following me or what?

Wanted to talk. What?

I have nothing to say. Absolutely nothing.

Well, enough of crap. You called me to come.

Go outside is very noisy here.

Me calling to you? In your dreams, maybe.

You should go see a psychiatrist. Leave me alone, do you want?

You think you're the best, right?

A manipulator, a liar formidable.

Alone are a poor lost boy.

At this point, you're totally scared.

Guess what, pal? I'm tired of playing games with you.

Hello.

Hello. Who is it?

Nicky?

Nicky, are you?

My name is Mark Nicholas Randall. I have sixteen.

The name of my mother is Kimberly Miller.

My sister's name is Kathy Jansen.

My name is Mark Nicholas Randall. I have sixteen.

The name of my mother is Kimberly Miller.

My sister's name is Kathy Jansen.

"I was kidnapped.

"Your sister is here.

I was raped ...

I was tortured ...

I was afraid all the time.

I just want to go home.

Hi, I'm Kimberly, I'm not home.

Are you okay?

- Kathy sent you?

-No.

You've got guts. A lot of guts.

You have power of decision.

You are very clever too.

Given all that, you could do something more with your life.

My life ...

Yes, Your life, your own life. Not someone else.

I know how you feel. You are alone. All alone.

Twenty-four hours a day in the shoes of another ...

must be unbearable.

I can help.

Do you feel better?

You do not look too bad.

Do not have anything to say?

Are not you glad to see your mother?

I am.

You stay with me from now on.

Did you find the beer?

Well, hold on one.

Why just stand there like a fool? Come sit with me.

I will not bite.

He

Welcome to hell.

Yes, you hurt yourself with that knife, huh?

Clumsy as ever.

No work tonight, so I thought maybe we could ...

eat something, go to the movies. What does that sound?

Sounds good.

Sounds great.

Sleep here ... as before.

Brendan rented room.

I do not think he comes back.

"You understand, right?

"Yes. I understand.

You understand everything, is not it?

Maybe I should fix your clothes ...

the nurse gave me what I need.

It's in my room. I will pursue.

Do not move, right back.

Do you have a problem with this?

Are you going to call the police?

I'm all you got, kid.

Started after you left.

I do not I left.

I was kidnapped.

First you, then Brendan ...

You know what that means?

I am alone.

Why was Brendan?

That ... bastard.

Rise and shine, sleepy head. It's Sunday.

Come on. Put a little meat on your bones.

Where do we go?

Let's go.

Why are you crying?

Why we came here? You tell me.

It leads you, I'm tired.

"I have my license.

"Just drive.

Brendan. Brendan should go to hell ...

and God will never forgive me.

Away from me! Get away from me.

You made me life hell since the day you were born.

Stay away ... damn dealer.

you can go to hell with that too.

But you never should have surrendered to the police, Nicky.

Should not be betraying the family. Not good. Not good.

The night he called, he was so drunk.

I did not intend that to happen.

I swear ... I swear, it was not my intention.

You can not die twice, boy.

You can not die twice.

Hi, Nicky. Let's take a walk.

"I have really wanted.

"Well, but I do.

Come on. Foot Care.

Just thought ... before you came back ...

there were some idiots who actually thought I had killed you.

Incredible, right? All because we fought from time to time.

That's what the FBI thinks your girlfriend?

It is not my girlfriend.

Anyway ... may not suspect that killed me.

I'm alive.

Is not that right, brother?

Is not that right?

Come take a walk, just us two.

Where?

That depends.

- Depends on what?

"It depends on you, depend on me.

"And your girlfriend from the FBI, too. Come on.

- Why do it?

Come on, let the swamp.

Why would you go to the swamp? There's nothing there.

You know, when you left ...

when the green man came and took you ...

Mom used to go far into the swamp.

Sola. Do you know what?

To tell you, man.

He was there to talk to you.

Have you been there?

You always were a f***ing liar, Nicky.

What, you afraid?

What are you afraid, eh?

Of me? What the hell am I going to make now?

Come on, take the baby with mom.

Are not you afraid of mom too, no?

It's a good mom, right? Is good and adorable.

I'll be watching you, Nicky!

You never know what might happen in this part of town.

Give my love to mom!

Is an order of the Court, Mrs. Miller.

Must comply with it, like it or not.

I will not.

I heard you can do the same analysis with saliva.

Did you know?

Salgo.

Open the damn door. Open the damn door!

Open it, damn!

- Are you there?

"Get out of here, Brendan.

Open this damn door, I see the face of that bastard ...

I know what the analysis! The whole town knows!

Listen, damn, the result of this analysis will come and test ...

you're a damned liar. That has destroyed the family for the second time!

That ruined the hopes of my mom!

Damn!

I'll kill you, understand? I'll kill you with my bare hands!

Got it?

Go away!

Mean nothing to me. You're not my son.

Oh, come on, Brendan. Hit me. Just once, do it.
