Alba Zevon & Sarah Wilde – The Man with the Tattoo

Alba is a determined journalist who works closely with police officer Sarah. Their partnership is built on mutual benefit: Alba helps Sarah uncover criminals and juicy leads, while Sarah shares insider information, giving Alba exclusive stories before anyone else. The case Alba is currently investigating is disturbing. A man with a tattoo of a bound woman on his arm is suspected of taking into his apartment girls—girls who then vanish without a trace. Alba believes she’s found him. She calls Sarah and tells her she’s inside the building where the suspect lives. Her plan is simple: pretend to be the new neighbor, find an excuse to enter his apartment, and confirm whether he has the tattoo. If it’s him, she’ll send the location to Sarah, who will come to arrest him. Alba knocks on his door and asks if she can use his internet. While they talk, she spots the tattoo—it’s him. Trying to stay calm, she asks for a glass of water, using the moment alone to send Sarah a voice message confirming the suspect’s identity and location. But Tony, the suspect, isn’t as oblivious as he seems. He’s been watching Alba closely and has a plan of his own. Before she can react, he overpowers her—first binding her with tape, then securing her with ropes.
