[chattering]
It's about that time, man.
[breathing heavily]
[heart beating rhythmically]
(woman) Here.
(man) Let's go. Bay one.
That's a pulse. [indistinct]
(woman) Code three.
(man) It's an involuntary admission, okay?
[panting]
Okay, we're gonna intubate this guy.
And fix the hole in his heart.
[machine hissing]
[metallic snap]
Got it.
Looks tight. Pressure's holding.
Okay, call CT Surgery, tell them they got a sick one coming up.
[car horn honks]
[man on TV, indistinct]
(man on TV) Here you are, Natasha, right over my shoulder.
(Natasha) I certainly am.
(Boris) Natasha, is you?
(Natasha) Boris, how could you mistake me for a possum?
(Boris) I help it if you put on weight?
[TV continues, indistinct]
[car horn honks]
[chattering]
[train]
Where's the bedroom?
This is your bedroom. [bed clunks]
And your kitchen, your dining room, your study.
It is real New York Iiving.
And there's a bonus. The view is amazing.
Go ahead.
[distant drilling]
This is a great view?
(woman) Interested?
[bed clunks]
[train roars]

[elevator dings]
[doors bang]
[whirring]
(Juliet) Hello?
[whirring gets Iouder]
Excuse me?
[whirring stops]
Hi.
Um, someone called about a rental here?
It's not ready yet.
Well, could I see it?
[sighs]
You're Iooking at it.
Oh.
I can't afford this.
It's thirty-eight.
What?
The place, it's thirty-eight.
Thousand?
Thirty-eight hundred.
[exhales]
Wait, what's the catch?
Are you putting a nightclub down on the first floor?
Well, utilities would be separate.
It takes a Iot to heat a place Iike this.
So, expect Con Ed to stick it to you in the wintertime.
Right.
This would be the best view in the building.
Are you the super?
Owner, actually.
Oh. Right.
My family bought the building in the '40s.
And to answer your question
no, there is no nightclub.
A Iot of my tenants started to move out
and so I'm renovating the apartments.
Until then, it could get a Iittle noisy around here.
I don't-- I don't mind noise. I'm an ER doctor, so--
When we sleep, [chuckles] we really sleep.
(owner) Well, a couple things about the building, uh
it doesn't get the best cell phone reception.
Okay, I'll-- I can figure that out.
[rumbling, rattling]
And there's the F Line.
- Jesus. - Yeah.
There's a maintenance track that runs directly under this building.
Usually at night.
AII right, I'm gonna need your Social Security number and three references.
Oh, I can get you all of that, including records of my taxes
for the Iast five years, if you'd Iike.
I prefer no pets.
Of course.
AII right.
The heaters bang Ioudly in the morning.
You haven't checked my references.
I will.
Take a Iook around. I'm gonna get back to work.
I gotta be uptown in exactly 100 minutes
so you got 60 to get the shit out of this rented truck
or I gotta charge you for another day.
Take a deep breath, I don't want you to strain yourself talking.
(owner) What, did you hire the only moving guy in New York who doesn't actually move furniture?
Yeah, right?
[chuckles]
Well, you travel pretty Iight.
Oh, I got rid of a Iot.
I would have Iiked to have sawed the bed in half and burned it
but I need a place to sleep at night.
[chuckles]
Well--
Not easy at forgiving.
Change is good.
Should we go get that mattress?
[Juliet gasps]
[chuckles] Hi.
This is, uh, my grandfather. August, Juliet. Juliet, August.
[stammers] She's our new tenant.
(Juliet) Hi.
Got any pets?
No.
(August) Are you Ioud?
(Juliet) No, not at all.
Sorry I scared you.
Nice to meet you.

Fuck you!
It's crystal meth.
[patient, screaming] Stop it!
It's all right, it's all right.
(woman) Don't do anything.
It's going to be alright.
No! Don't touch me!
It's gonna be fine.
[sobbing]
No.
You're gonna be all right.
Oh, my God.
Hey.
Heard you had a Iong one.
M m. That was an insane day.
[sighs] Rob and I are going out today, you want to come?
No, thanks. I think I'm just gonna go home and get to bed early.
[cell phone rings]
(Sidney) You have got to stop thinking about him.
The Iove of my Iife cheated on me. I n my own bed.
Every time I Iook at myself all I see is someone who wasn't enough.
You were enough. You are enough.
More than enough. He's an asshole.
I gave up my dream
to move to New York City to be his
and he just threw it all away.
[scoffs]
It's an art opening. It's not gonna kill you.
And you're going.
(man) We can handle this, it's gonna cost you a Iittle extra
'cause of all the unused space.
(Max) Grandfather doesn't want to change the integrity of the structure.
OK. No problem. We'll take care of it.
AII right, thank you. [door opens]
(Juliet) Hey.
(Max) Hi.
(Juliet) About to start making a Iot of noise?
If I can get the city's approval.
There are a Iot of "I"s to dot and "T"s to cross around here.
Yeah, I bet.
Oh! Thank you for the gift.
It was so kind and, and really thoughtful.
[elevator dings]
The gift that was outside my door yesterday?
Yeah, that uh, that wasn't me.
August.
[door opens]
Oh, there you are.
Hi. I wanted to thank you for the incredibly thoughtful gift.
I'm just putting myself in your shoes.
I thought, "If I were a woman
"alone, in a new apartment
"surrounded by strangers
what would I want?"
[TV on, indistinct]
I don't get much company.
Oh, I-- I'm sorry. I-- I should really go.
Thanks.
[chattering]
Great.
(man) Oh, excuse me.
Max?
Hey.
Hey, I didn't recognize you outside of the building.
- Who's this? - You, too.
Oh, this is Max.
This is Sidney, we work together.
(Max) Very nice to meet you, Sidney.
Nice to meet you, too, Max.
I haven't heard about you.
Hm... Nice day, isn't it?
It is. Um, you know, sometimes I feel Iike all I ever do is work.
And, I don't know, I just thought I'd stop and come out
and feel Brooklyn, you know?
(Juliet) Yeah.
Well, Max, would you Iike to have a drink with us?
(Max) No. No, thanks. I'm actually getting ready to Ieave.
It was very nice to meet you.
(Max) Great to see you.
You, too, Max.
[gasps]
Shh! He's my Iandlord.
So?
And I'm his tenant.
Oh, meh. You mean Iike what if it sucks
and you can't get away from each other?
Yeah. It's not recommended.
So you thought about it?
Shh!
Hey, Max?
Hey.
Um, do you, actually
do you mind walking me home?
I'd Iove to.
Great. Okay.
Bye.
See ya.
[whispering] He's cute.
Thanks.
(Sidney) Bye, you guys.
Bye-bye.
[Sidney, chuckles]
(Max) August, uh, he worries about me, you know?
People from his generation were married with ten kids by the time they were my age.
(Juliet) Yeah, he is kind of a unique guy, isn't he?
(Max) That's-- That's one way to put it.
Unique. Uh, difficult.
Pain in the ass would be another way to characterize him.
Is he okay?
Well, up until a year ago
we were partners in the building. We did everything together.
Fixed everything together, made all the decisions together
and then he had a stroke.
Oh. What about your parents?
They, uh, they, they died when I was, when I was very young.
What about, uh, what about your family?
Um. Let's see, my parents, they're kind of, uh, after-the-fact hippies.
I guess that makes you the black sheep of the family, huh?
Definitely. Yeah.
For me, uh, rebellion was going through med school.
Free Iove sucked, as far as I could tell.
It Ied to a quick divorce on my parents' part
so I was every other weekend with my dad.
I never really knew where my home was
not until Jack and I moved in together.
Jack?
My ex.
Yeah.
(Max) So I thought all hippie kids had weird names.
[Iaughs] Oh, you do, don't you?
What's your real name?
Juliet. It's my real name.
What's your middle name?
Wanna sit here?
Are you ignoring my question?
No.
[chuckles]
No, I just thought we'd take in the view.
Uh-huh. Okay.
When I was Iittle, um, I used to walk around the neighborhood at night.
And Iook into windows
at families around televisions
brothers, sisters, parents, meeting, you know, talking.
And, um, you know, I knew I couldn't have that.
But, just watching them
it somehow made me feel Iike I was part of it.
Seeing all these families, it's sweet.
Yeah. Yeah.
Bliss.
Bliss?
Yep.
[chuckling] Oh, my Jesus.
"Dr. Bliss." [chuckles]
Doctor Bliss.
Yep.
Very nice.
[Iaughing]
[chattering]
[solemn music]
Thank you.
Sorry.
No, don't be sorry, Juliet.
God, I'm an idiot. Of course it's a bad idea.
That's-- That's not what I meant.
I'm just confused.
Reading the wrong signals.

I don't know what I was expecting.
You were expecting rebound sex, honey.
Hot. Landlord. Rebound. Sex.
[both Iaughing] You're crazy.
See you Iater.
Bye, girl.
[cell phone ringing]
[woman on PA, indistinct]
Jack.
[Jack] You picked up.
What do you want?
I just called to say hi.
Well, hi.
Can I see you?
Juliet-- [sighs] I'm sorry.
I gotta go. [sighs]
[cell phone ringing]
Look, I don't think it's a good idea for us to talk yet.
(Max) Juliet. It's Max.
Max?
Listen.
Um. I'm sorry about yesterday.
(Max over phone) Well, I was wondering if
I could make it up to you with, with dinner tonight?
[soft music]
(Juliet) You Iike old things.
(Max) I suppose I do.
You know, I'm not really one of the text message, Twitter crowd.
Technology seems to be about telling everybody your deep, dark secrets.
And, uh, I don't know, I guess I think secrets should be secrets.
What?
It's just--
It's starting to feel Iike home.
Safe.
Warm. I nviting.
You did that for me.
Good.
So what's your secret?
Why aren't you married?
I guess I just never found anyone that--
Anyone that?
That got me, I guess.
Or that I got.
And the truth is, um
I'm not very social.
You know, it's probably the way I, I grew up.
You know, I spent my whole Iife taking care of my family's building
and recently, my grandfather.
And because of that, I just
I never had a relationship that mattered.
You know, going to that, that art opening thing the other day
That was-- That was a big deal for me.
I'm sorry about that day.
No.
No, I was just surprised that
that you--
That I what?
That you wanted to kiss me.
Why wouldn't I?
Landlord.
Tenant.
Messy.
[unintelligible whispering]
That's a pulse!
[rapid chattering]
[eerie music]
He thought he was dying. It's another stroke, isn't it?
(doctor) I called in a scrip for Klonopin. He should see a psychiatrist.
(doctor) Are you okay?
Yeah.
[eerie music]
[woman on PA, indistinct]
[whirring]
(Juliet) Someone called about a rental here?
[suspense music]
[heartbeat]
(Max) Excuse me.
Max?
Hey.
Hi.
(Sidney) Who's this?
Oh, this is Max. This is Sidney, we work together.
(Max) Sometimes I feel Iike all I do is work, and, um
I don't know, I decided to stop
and come out and feel Brooklyn, you know?
(Sidney) Yeah.
(Juliet) Hey, Max, do you actually
do you mind walking me home?
[suspense music]
[eerie music]
Sorry. I'm confused. Reading the wrong signals.
[Iocks door]
[repeated clicking and door Iocking, echoing]

Max.
I can't do this.
Max.
I can't do this.
I can't get him out of my mind.
Jack.
I still only know his smell.
And the way he touches me, I--
I don't want it to be Iike this.
[exhales]
I understand.
Yeah, yeah, you understand, right?
[suspense music]
I'll call you Iater.
Okay.
[door opens, closes]
[nail gun firing]
[firing continues]
[thud]
[knocking and sobbing]
[stifling sob]
(August) I know everything that goes on in this building.
I know everything that goes on in your head.
You think I don't know how your brain works?
Just Iike your father.
Jealous and perverted.
That's enough.
Your mother.
She was beautiful.
She married a weak man.
Then she gave birth to another.
[slap and gasp]
[chattering]
(Juliet) Hey.
Um. I-I've been meaning to talk to you.
Yeah. Look, I'm-- I'm sorry.
It suddenly felt weird, I--
It had nothing to do with you, I just--
I need more time.
That's okay.
You know, that, that tells me you take being with someone seriously.
And, you know, I Iike that.
Um, but, you know, I, I was thinking about it
and maybe we shouldn't have done that, you know?
Meaning that we Iive in the same building, and all.
Really?
No offense, I just--
I just needed company, I guess.
I'm so glad you feel the same way.
I just--
It's meant a Iot to me the Iast couple weeks.
Well, I-- I should go, I--
Yeah. Okay.
Okay. I'll see you.
Have-- Have a nice day.
You, too.
[eerie music]
(August) What's the matter with you?
Why didn't you stand up for yourself?
Just Iike your father.
Your mother, she was beautiful.
She married a weak man.
Then she gave birth to another. [woman screams]

(Max) And I thought I knew everything about this building.
I never realized your kitchen had an old wine closet.
Hm...
August's old place had, uh
had one of these, but, uh, this
they must've covered this up years ago.
Well, I think it's really cool. Can I use it?
Yeah. Absolutely. Um.
Why don't I just fix it up for you and I'll get out of your hair.
Well, I have work.
That's, that's okay.
I can, I can do it while you're gone.
That's really sweet of you.
Thanks for being such a good friend.

Oh, no. That's okay.

That-- It's sweet.
Uh, it goes, it goes in the kitchen?
Yeah.
Okay, good. Yeah.
Got a Iot of stuff.
[grunts] You, uh, you cooking?
Yeah.
Maybe I'll, uh, I'll stay and help, yeah?
You, you-- You don't have to do that.
Uh, Juliet, I wanted to
I wanted to try to speak to you about, about something.
Um, it's been a Iittle confusing for me
because you, because you kissed me first.
What?
Yeah, you made the first move.
You kissed me first and, um
and now you're acting Iike nothing happened.
[scoffs] I'm sorry, I--
Um, we were just getting to know each other.
You know, seeing if things worked or, or didn't.
I mean, that's what, that's what people do.
I don't do that.
You shouldn't do that, either.
[door closes]
[cell phone rings]
Hey.
Yeah. Ten minutes is perfect.
AII right, I'll see you then.
Bye.
[eerie music]

(Jack) Hey.
Oh!
Amelie, hi! I missed you so much.
[dog whimpers]
Hi.
Uh--
What happened to her?
She's been picking a fight with a German shepherd at, um--
Oh?
Yeah. I didn't know what to bring
to a dinner Iike this, but--
(Juliet) Thank you, they're beautiful.
[whines softly]
Let's sit here, in the Iiving room.
Place is huge.
(Juliet) And cheap.
(Jack) How much?
(Juliet) Thirty-eight hundred.
Anything available for me?
I don't know if we're quite ready for that.
[chuckles] Right.
Thanks.
[dog whining]
[growling, barking]
Tell me about the German Shepherd.
She's been having a hard time at doggy day care.
[sharp barking and instrumental music]
(Juliet) Why are you taking her to doggy day care?
(Jack) Been traveling a Iot the past few weeks.
It was business.
I wasn't thinking that.
Look, I could tell you everything.
(Juliet) I don't want to know.
(Jack) You were never home. I Iiterally never saw you.
Please don't tell me you slept with someone else because I work too hard.
I was with someone else.
It was just a flirtation, but it felt amazing for a moment.
I want to be clear about something.
He was nice but he was never you.
(Jack) It's the guy with the beard, right?
(Juliet) How do you know that?
I followed you one night. I was gonna ring your bell, but--
You followed me home?
I wasn't good anymore.
My Iife, without you
I missed you.
[eerie music]
I missed you, too, Jack.
(Jack) I'm sorry.
[inhales deeply]
[suspense music]
[panting]
[bittersweet music]
[water dripping]
I'm sorry dinner burned.
I'm not.
[both chuckle]
[eerie music]
I want you to stay.
I can't. I've got a 7 :00 AM.
I'm in no way prepared. I'm gonna be up all night.
You want to keep Amelie tonight?
No pets allowed.
Here, keep this.
I Iove you.
AII right, come on.
Bye.
[eerie music]
[panting]
[eerie music, increasing]
[pager beeping]
[moans]
[turns pager off]
So what's going on? I heard you were Iate again.
Yeah, I slept through my alarm three times in two weeks.
And I never oversleep.
So, you been out Iate?
No, no. There's just--
There's something creepy about my apartment.
A guy gives you a gorgeous apartment, at an unbelievable price
cooks for you, and is an absolute gentleman, and that's creepy?
No, no. There's just something about it.
I can't wake up in the morning
and I don't know-- It's-- it's a feeling.
[sighs]
If I were you, I'd keep the apartment
get a Iouder alarm.
(man) So the record feature's triggered by movement.
So any activity in your apartment
will be recorded in up to ten-minute intervals.
It's a wireless system which can be accessed through your computer.
This position, and the position in the Iiving room
will cover as much of the apartment as possible.
But that still Ieaves the kitchen and the bathroom uncovered.
That's okay. As Iong as I have the front door and my bedroom.
Well, you got that.
(man) These things have automatic night vision, so you've no need to Ieave a Iight on.
These babies will catch anything that moves.
(man) So, you gonna sublet?
(Juliet) I'm sorry, what?
Most people put these in if they're going to sublet
or have a party, or even for babysitters.
You know, so nobody steals anything.
I'm gonna sublet.
(man) Here we go.
[elevator dings]
(man) Well, that's it.
So, um, call if you have any questions.
Thanks.

You just get home?
Yeah.
Look what I found.
This great old bottle of wine from August's wine closet.
I'll, I'll open it.
No, no need. I already cracked it.
I wanted it to breathe a Iittle bit. Do you mind?
No, that's great.
You have a rough day, Juliet?
[pours wine]
[sniffles] Yeah.
Well, here. Drink this. Maybe it will help.
Thanks.
Come sit down.
[exhales]
[pours more wine]
So, to...
to our friendship.
Cheers.
[clink]
You're not going to try it?
[sighs]
I'm not, um--
Juliet, are you okay?
Just, I'm exhausted. I'm not really sleeping well.
I Iike this wine a Iot.
It's good.
I'll be right back.
[sighs]
Juliet.
Can you please put your phone down?
Just-- [gasps]
Why are you calling him?
Where is he?
[breathing heavily]
Why did you give him keys to my building?
You know where he is?
Why did you betray me, Juliet?
Sit. Down.
[panting]
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Juliet.
What did you do to him?
What did you do?

I was never gonna hurt you.
But you fucking betrayed me!
