Synopsis: ANON is set in a near-future world where there is no privacy, ignorance or anonymity. Our private memories are recorded and crime almost ceases to exist. In trying to solve a series of unsolved murders, SAL FRIELAND (Owen) stumbles onto a young woman (Seyfried) who appears to have subverted the system and disappeared. She has no identity, no history and no record. Sal realizes it may not be the end of crime but the beginning. Known only as THE GIRL, Sal must find her before he becomes the next victim.

I call myfiance.

Next day, I get scared my girlfriend

is going to ask to see my records

so I try to contact our hacker.

Same dark Ether bulletin boards

used by the other victims.

We know her M.O.

She'll come to me.

Of course, we rule out applicants

who don't match the description.

Sol Grayson?

Changed my mind.

By the way, I'll need a boatload of cash.

She can see past our metadata, so

I don't want a cop within a mile of me.

Since we can't communicate without

blowing my cover,

we use a signal.

Don't look at me.

What can I do for you, Sol Grayson,

stockbroker?

I want to get rid of an affair.

-Well, not even an affair really. I--

-I don't care.

Cash only.

Let's go somewhere we won't be disturbed.

Your apartment.

When she does show, all we've got to do

is get her close enough

for Lester to scan her frequency.

We trace her chain of proxies

to her record of the killings.

We got her.

Drink?

I'm in.

Just like that?

Here we go.

Here's how it works.

Believe it or not, I got a policy.

To respect your privacy,

I'm only going to look at

what you want me to see.

Nothing more.

That is, unless you cross me.

Do that,

and you will wish you were f***ing dead.

Sounds reasonable.

Well?

A week ago...

Monday...

about 11-10-23-10.

I see her.

That the girl you want gone?

Yeah.

You want me to fix her side too?

I can leave a gap.

What if she looks back

and see it's gone?

Doesn't seem like the type of girl

who looks back.

Better not to leave it lying around.

She could use it against you.

Yes.

What do you want in its place

to fill the timeline?

Went to bed earlier than I did.

Problem is you called your girlfriend

after the hooker left.

Oh, yeah.

And I'm guessing it's the girlfriend

you don't want seeing the rendezvous.

If your girl looked back,

she'd see that the call isn't there.

A night at a bar?

Too many other people.

Complicates things.

I'll make it look like you were alone

in your apartment.

From another night that you were

alone in your apartment.

Luckily, there are a few to choose from.

No wonder you hired a hooker.

I'll show you what I'm doing.

It's all the media you consume

I got to fix.

How jealous is your girlfriend?

Anyone looking close,

especially another fixer...

they're gonna see the joins

unless I'm here 'til next week.

Worse things in the world?

You can't afford me.

Yes.

So business is good.

You'd be surprised what people want

to pretend never happened.

Any job you wouldn't take?

Help someone get away with murder.

Depends who they killed.

See ya next time.

I'm going to have to remove me

from your life, too.

This, tonight.

Where are you?

So strange to look at you and see nothing.
