The Housemaid is Watching

Millie panics. Jonathan is clearly dead. She goes to call 911 but does not have her cell phone, so she hurries home to call the police.

At home, she hears water running and finds Enzo in the sink washing blood off his hands. He claims to have cut himself with his clippers, but Millie sees no cut. There’s also blood on his shirt. When Millie tells him Jonathan is dead, Enzo acts surprised. Millie is still suspicious but tells him to change out of his bloody shirt as she hears police sirens approaching.

Police swarm the Lowell house. When Suzette returns from work, an officer tells her what happened. She breaks down in tears, but to Millie, they look fake and Suzette does not seem sad about her husband’s death.

Millie looks at a small cut on Enzo’s hand; Enzo argues that hand wounds bleed profusely, but Millie thinks the cut is too small to have bled so much. Regardless, they agree not to tell the police about the blood.

Detective Willard, the head officer on the case, comes to Accardi house to talk to Millie and Enzo. Millie tells the truth about her discovery of Jonathan’s body. Willard reveals that Janice, who heard yelling and called the police, saw Millie enter the house and leave, corroborating Millie’s story.
