From his viewpointâ suddenly this woman heâs been sending pictures of his junk goes from âhey, letâs meet upâ to âHello Brian Smith of 1214 Idyllic Terrace. Does your wife Rose know youâre here? How about your mother?â
He panics and blocks her. Heâs sponging off of his wife, and if he gets busted, there goes his gravy train.
And then the woman shows up. In his house. She just got a job working with his wife, who absolutely adores her, and brought her home for dinner. And sheâs doing that movie maniac thing where the entire conversation is about Brian, but Rose is clueless and whenever Rose isnât looking sheâs got cold eyes on him.
He tries to stay calm, and act like everythingâs normal, and he gets up to get a beer or something and when he turns around from the fridge, Patty is standing there.
âUnlock your phone and give it to me right now.â
She installs something on it and hands it back.
âIâll be in touch. Donât try to change phones.â
He tries to convince his wife not to be friends with her, even tries the âI think she was coming on to meâ line, to which the wife is âOh, that was definitely in your head. Marge is a lesbian.â
And she just gets progressively scarier throughout the film. He gives her a small payoff. She wants more. She leaves a package for Rose on the front door, but conveniently he gets there first and opens it to find printouts of screenshots. More clues get left behind. Heâs only able to keep her from finding out through a combination of sheer luck and her gullibility in believing every explanation he comes up with for his odd behavior. Finally he dips into the secret account heâs been using to hide money heâs been stealing from his wife, and itâs a HUGE payout, but she wants MORE.
And then he comes home to find Marge sitting cheerfully next to Roseâs dead body. And Marge is like âMan, the police always start looking at the husband, and theyâre going to find a whole bunch of stuff when they look through your texts. Youâve been promising this woman youâre going to leave your wife. Youâve been sending her money. Oh, sheâs a catfish from an untraceable IP, and your wife was talking to the bank JUST THIS AFTERNOON about some odd transactions. You panicked and killed her, and youâve got NO evidence otherwise. I bet you could be on a flight to a non-extradition country before they find the body, though.â
He runs out the door. Marge starts laughing.
As the credits roll, you see the events from Roseâs point of viewâ having drinks with the new girl from work, with whom sheâs getting along amazingly, and Margeâs phone goes off. âGod, itâs this asshole from Tinder. He keeps sending me dick pics. Sooner or later theyâre going to learn. Itâs not even a nice dick. LOOK AT THIS. Who finds that attractive???â
âI⌠used to? Holy fuck, thatâs my husband. â
and the hatching of the plan, to just keep fucking with him, up to âOkay, so, Iâm gonna leave it on the doorstep. Make sure youâre a few minutes late, HE has to find itâ
âOh, god, he tried to tell me it was the mailman. At 8:30. It was so pathetic.â
âWHERE DID HE GET TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS FROM? Iâm paying off his goddamn college loans!â
Rose reporting to the police that her husband has been embezzling money from her disabled motherâs trust fund.
The police catching him in the airport. Heâs smart enough to say nothing without his lawyer present, and by the time he knows whatâs going on, heâs realizes exactly how fucked he is.
