Julia steps out of Irina's apartment, covered in blood, and stares at Francis. He attempts to stop him, but before he can, Julia-who feigned her death-shoots Daniel multiple times, killing him. He goes into the hallway, where he sees Daniel exiting. Francis calls Julia's cell phone, which he hears ringing inside Irina's apartment. Daniel lies next to her, watching as she appears to lose consciousness. Julia attempts to crawl to Irina's coffee table to retrieve the pistol, but stops short of it. Julia hears Francis enter their apartment next-door, but when she attempts to scream, Daniel slashes the side of her throat. When Julia regains consciousness, Daniel recounts how he killed Irina, and that he hid with her body in a closet when Julia and the landlady entered the apartment. When she goes to investigate, she finds Irina's headless corpse, before Daniel smothers her with a plastic bag. She is interrupted by the sound of music playing in Irina's apartment. Julia swiftly de-boards the subway, and returns to the apartment where she begins packing her belongings. When he approaches her and attempts to explain the reasons for his voyeurism of her-that he lives an isolated, unexciting life caring for his father-Julia notices what appears to be the outline of a severed head in his shopping bag. She angrily leaves the party and boards the subway, where she soon notices Daniel in the near-empty car. During a conversation in Romanian, Julia gleans that Francis has made jokes about her fears to his coworkers. Julia accompanies Francis to a company party. Julia reluctantly shakes Daniel's hand, as the officer chalks the incident up to a misunderstanding. Later that night, while Francis is home, a police officer arrives at their apartment accompanied by Daniel, who accuses Julia of stalking him. When Cristian leaves, Julia works up the nerve to knock on the door herself, but it is answered by an elderly man. Cristian agrees, but no one answers the door. Julia tells him Irina never returned home, and asks him to accompany her to confront Daniel in his building. The next day, Cristian arrives searching for Irina. Francis becomes impatient with Julia, believing that her fears are imagined, and points to the fact that "the Spider" has apparently been apprehended. The landlady unlocks the apartment, but they find no sign of Irina. She knocks on her door repeatedly, but receives no answer. Later that night, Julia hears a commotion in Irina's apartment. Julia questions Irina about Daniel, but Irina knows nothing about him. Irina, a dancer at the club, spots Julia and takes her aside. One day, Julia follows Daniel through the city, eventually ending up at a strip club, where he works as a janitor. Francis accompanies an officer to the adjacent building to speak with the man, whom they learn is named Daniel Weber. Convinced that the man in the window is the same man who followed her, Julia calls the police. Later that night, Julia returns to her apartment and confronts the man in the window by returning his stare. Irina shows Julia a pistol Cristian gave her that she keeps for protection in the drawer of her coffee table. While the two have drinks together, Irina's ex-boyfriend Cristian knocks on her door, but she makes him leave. Julia finds some comfort in her neighbor, Irina. They find footage of the man and Julia in the store, but Francis is unconvinced that he was stalking Julia. That night, Francis finds Julia rattled by the incident, and, at his suggestion, they visit the market to review the security footage. In a panic, Julia exits the theater and walks to a nearby market, where the man also follows her. She enters a movie theater in an attempt to evade him, but the man follows her inside and sits directly behind her. While walking through the city one day, Julia senses a man is following her. Julia's fear heightens when she learns of a serial killer, dubbed "the Spider" by local media, who is decapitating young women. However, she is continuously unnerved by the man in the window, whom she notices watching her on a daily basis. While Francis works long hours, Julia attempts to familiarize herself with the city, and begins learning Romanian. Julia immediately notices a man looming in a window from the building across the street. The couple move into an apartment building with a large picture window. Francis, whose mother is Romanian, is fluent in the language, but Julia is not. American Julia moves to Bucharest with her husband, Francis, who takes a marketing job there.
