She steps out of Irina's apartment, covered in blood, and stares at Francis. He sees Daniel exiting and begins to walk toward Daniel, but Julia suddenly shoots Daniel multiple times with Irina's pistol, killing him. Francis calls Julia's cell phone, which he hears ringing inside Irina's apartment. Julia hears Francis enter their apartment next-door, but when she attempts to scream, Daniel slashes her throat. When Julia regains consciousness, Daniel recounts how he killed Irina and hid with her body when Julia and the landlady entered the apartment. Inside, she finds Irina's headless corpse, before Daniel smothers her with a plastic bag. She is interrupted by music playing in Irina's apartment. She returns home, where she begins packing. When he attempts to explain 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 and boards the subway, where she notices Daniel in the near-empty car. Julia accompanies Francis to a company party, and gleans that he has made jokes about her fears to his coworkers. The officer chalks the incident up to a misunderstanding. That night, a police officer arrives at their apartment accompanied by Daniel, who accuses Julia of stalking him. Julia works up the nerve to knock by herself later, but it is answered by an elderly man. They try to confront Daniel in his apartment but no one answers the door. The next day, Cristian arrives searching for Irina, who never returned home. Francis believes Julia's fears are imagined, and points to the fact that "the Spider" has apparently been apprehended. Julia convinces the landlady to unlock the apartment, but they find no sign of Irina. That night, Julia hears a commotion in Irina's apartment. Julia questions Irina about Daniel, but she knows nothing. One day, Julia follows Daniel to 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 it is the same man who followed her, she calls the police. Later that night, Julia waves at the man in the window, and he waves back. Irina shows Julia a pistol her boyfriend Cristian gave her for protection. She manages to flee from a nearby market but when Francis and Julia visit the market to review the security footage, it proves inconclusive. While walking through the city one day, she 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. While Francis works long hours, Julia grows unnerved by the man in the window, who watches her on a daily basis. Julia notices a man looming in a window from the building across the street.
