welcome to movie line recaps this time i am going to explain a movie called 10 by 10 released in 2018 spoiler alert kathy newland going through her usual routine she works at her flower shop has breakfast at the diner across the street and goes to her yoga classes all the while she's followed by a strange man called robert lewis while kathy is at yoga lewis waits outside he checks out her car before retrieving a gun a plastic bag zip ties tape and a newspaper from his trunk after tossing all those things on the front seat
of his car he keeps on waiting and he receives a call from his maid alondra who confirms everything is all right for tonight after the yoga lessons are over kathy chats with another woman in the changing room and clearly shows disapproval when the woman implies she wants to cheat on her husband afterward she goes to the parking lot ready to go home but she barely makes it to her car before lewis jumps on her he covers her head with the plastic bag and throws her to the floor trying to suffocate her but kathy manages to
push him off and take off the bag she cries out for help but the only person nearby has headphones on and doesn't hear her this gives lewis the chance to grab her again and he tells her he'll kill her if she makes another sound before he covers her mouth with tape and ties her wrists and ankles with the zip ties kathy is left on the floor while lewis goes back to his car waits for the vehicle next to kathy to leave then takes over that parking spot there he picks cathy up and locks her up
in his trunk before driving away on the way to his house a police car stops next to his at the traffic light but he plays it cool and manages not to arise suspicion when he makes it home a few moments later the garage door gets stuck midway so he has to finish raising it himself and sticks a broom under it to keep it up lewis takes the time to turn around the car and enter the garage in reverse gear so the trunk goes inside first he takes kathy out of the trunk and drags her through
the house as her bleeding feet leave blood stains on the floor she is taken to a 10 by 10 seller which lewis locks up and hides behind a fake wall and a table with a vase on it while kathy struggles against her bindings lewis puts some food in the oven and goes to his car to retrieve his things in her bag then he pays kathy a visit he informs her the walls are soundproof so there's no point in yelling then tells her he'll take off the tape so she can tell him her name after kathy
nods her understanding lewis removes the tape but she only starts screaming again so he leaves her alone and goes to his office he checks his computer to make sure everything in the cellar is being recorded then mutes the sound afterward he starts cleaning the bloodstains on his floor kathy manages to stand up and starts hitting the door with her whole body to no avail kicking the wall panels doesn't work either so she decides to try something else when she notices the room has a vent she comes as close as possible to it and tries to
scream for help but the house is in a remote location so nobody can hear her while listening to an old news recording that mentions a case being reopened when proof of three deaths not being natural appears lewis loads his gun and goes to see kathy again she asks him not to touch her and offers him the fifty thousand dollars she has in savings lewis points out that is a lot of money for someone in her line of business but he doesn't want her money he wants her to tell him her name she responds kathy newland
which disappoints him and makes him leave back in the kitchen lewis goes through kathy's back but he doesn't find anything useful so he goes back to watching old news reports this time the reporter says the proof didn't end up being enough to prove unnatural death so the case was closed again and the families plan to fight that decision while lewis goes back to cooking kathy puts her best effort into bending her body and manages to get her bound hands in front of her when lewis goes to get her for lunch kathy is waiting for him
behind the door and wastes no time in attacking him she punches him until he's on the floor and kicks him as she leaves the room once outside she grabs the vase from the table and smashes it on his head kathy drags herself to lewis office and tries to call the police using the land phone but lewis shows up and shoots it when he comes closer she grabs a paperweight from the desk and hits him with it leaving him unconscious on the floor for a few seconds she goes to the kitchen and finds her cell phone
in her back but it has no signal so she searches the drawers for a knife and cuts off the bindings on her ankles before trying to leave the house unfortunately all the doors are locked lewis wakes up then and kathy asks him how he knows what her occupation is but his only reply is to sit at the table and invite her to have lunch with him while he eats he asks her for her name again to which she answers kathy newland lewis reminds him he has a gun and guns beat knives so kathy accepts sitting
at the table but doesn't touch the food after pointing out that if he wanted her dead he would have already killed her he asks for her name once more kathy gives her the same answer which angers him and causes him to throw his plate at her face they both leave the table as louis comes closer with his gun pointed at her kathy knocks it off his hands and tries to punch him lewis responds by pushing her against the kitchen counter kathy manages to get him off her by biting him then she puts her bound wrists
around his neck to choke him however it is not enough to leave him unconscious so when she tries to escape he knocks her out with a punch and takes her back to the cellar when he returns to the kitchen his maid alondra is there she came over because he never told her if he would need her today or not lewis tells her she isn't needed and dismisses her but alondra insists on trying to clean up the broken dishes and take care of his wounds getting desperate lewis tells her he's just having one of those days
and tries to get her to leave again alondra hesitates but accepts and promises to return the next day with his daughter who is currently at a sleepover lewis cleans up the messes puts the flowers in a new vase and washes the bloody knife before checking on kathy to put some butterfly bandages on her cuts afterward he takes a shower and takes care of his own wounds then he finishes his lunch in front of the tv watching more old news recordings about the charleston 3. a case of three patients dying under mysterious circumstances at the all
angels hospital in charleston meanwhile kathy retrieves her cell phone from its hidden place in her pants but there's no signal she puts it away when she discovers one of the floor tiles has cracked so she starts working on trying to unstick the shard from the floor lewis visits kathy again this time bringing a chair with him he starts asking her questions about her personal life her name her birthday her hometown her school her major amount of siblings her parents professions and her relationship with the church kathy answers them all but lewis isn't satisfied he tells
her he's been following her around for months and he knows everything she just told him her lies so he continues to press her for the correct information kathy finally changes her story when he shoots the wall her real name is natalie ann stephen she grew up with her twin sister kathy who killed herself when their father who was a doctor for a football team left their mom for a cheerleader natalie didn't give up and went on to study nursing like her mother now she has admitted what he wanted lewis tells her she must be wondering
why he's kidnapped her but he only says she probably already knows before leaving the room again taking the chair with him as soon as the door is closed both kathy and lewis have an emotional breakdown while lewis goes back to the living room to watch old videos of him with his family natalie starts working on the broken floor tile again she doesn't make any progress there so she takes out her phone once more and puts it against the vent finally managing to get some signal she dials 9-1-1 and tries to ask for help which proves
to be difficult because the signal is weak meanwhile lewis sees a cell phone in the video and makes him realize she's taken her phone to the cellar with her he rushes in right after she hides it but he retrieves it from her pants and destroys it leaving the broken parts on the floor another interrogation begins natalie admits having worked at all angels hospital and lewis asks her about the patients that inexplicably died under her care including his wife alana natalie reminds him there was a trial and all nurses were found innocent she says she only
left town because she needed a fresh start lewis doesn't buy it and tells her about all the clues that made him suspicious a man called john lampty died of organ failure when a month before he had passed his medical insurance alanna was missing her wedding ring which she never took off she was drunk which was weird because she never drank much and her body was full of ghb a drug usually used to incapacitate abuse victims lewis doesn't just think natalie did it he fully knows it so he tells her that if she doesn't admit it
she'll die as well lewis goes back to watch old family videos after checking his computer is still recording every noise in the cellar seeing his dead wife on the screen upsets him so he rushes back to the seller and puts his gun in front of natalie's head and she finally accepts to confess she and her sister grew up in a very religious environment following the teachings of the bible when kathy found out their dad was sleeping with her best friend she confronted him about it so he abandoned them leaving them with all the shame the
family became the outcasts of the town for something that wasn't their fault they were being punished for their father's sins this is what pushed kathy into killing herself natalie found her in the barn hanging from the drafters that's why natalie has dedicated her life to her into serving people and patients would always trust her with their secrets even the bad ones all her three victims had done something wrong john lampty had two wives jane spencer lied to the cops about her husband beating her for the divorce money and alana had been cheating on her husband
louis doesn't believe it but natalie explains all the clues behind the case this is why alana had been found drunk in a hotel bar dressed to the nines and without her wedding ring her lover had even visited her at the hospital natalie admits having killed the charleston three for being sinners and lewis leaves the cellar unsettled after hearing about his wife's secret he starts believing natalie when he goes back to the living room and watches another video in it alana behaves awkwardly when ignoring a call to her cell phone the confirmation puts lewis through an
emotional breakdown and he starts breaking things around the house as he cries out in fury afterward he gets in his car and leaves the house while natalie finds a piece of her phone and realizes she can use it as a tool to finally free the tile shard from the floor lewis makes it to the lake he used to visit with his wife and is approached by two cops who asked him about his wounds and his address because they're investigating a call that described a car like his after checking his license in the trunk of his
car they let him go and lewis decides to return home he enters the cellar and crouches in front of natalie to tell her she had no right to kill his wife before he had a chance to talk to her he also asks her to turn herself in natalie responds by stabbing him on his shoulder with the floor shard then she starts kicking him as she tells him she's kathy now and she won't let him ruin her new happy life lewis manages to remove the shard from his shoulder but natalie punches the wound before running out
of the room in the kitchen she looks for the gun but doesn't find it so she grabs a knife instead and returns to the cellar lewis is waiting for her and tries to lock her in again natalie puts her arm at the door to stop it they wrestle for a moment before lewis runs away and makes it to the kitchen where he finds his gun on the floor natalie arrives as he's picking it up and knocks it off his hand before starting a fight with him eventually she manages to overpower him and steal the gun
which he points at him at that moment they're interrupted by alondra who is entering the house with louis daughter summer natalie shoots alondra then captures summer when she tries to reach her dad she points the gun at her head and tells him summer isn't really his child but that doesn't matter to lewis who tells natalie she doesn't have to turn herself in he won't say anything to anyone if she doesn't hurt his daughter natalie doesn't accept this because the police will trace her call anyway so lewis tells him he's recorded everything she said this distracts
natalie and summer takes the chance to bite her arm and escape lewis wastes no time and jumps on natalie throwing her on the floor and choking her until he knocks her out or so he thinks as soon as he takes a few steps away natalie is standing up again so lewis shoots her before leaving to find his daughter he finds summer hiding in the cellar and takes her away with him they stop by the office to take the usb stick with the recording and summer notices natalie is gone so lewis rushes her into the garage
he's getting summer into the car when natalie finds him and tries to shoot him but the gun is out of ammo so they start fighting again as summer leaves the car and goes outside natalie hits lewis with various garden tools until she overpowers him and puts a pitchfork on his chest intending to kill him lewis grabs the fork to stop it from stabbing and pushes until he manages to hit natalie with it causing her to fall back against the broom he had used earlier to keep the garage door raised without the broom to hold it
the door falls on her and traps her body as she falls unconscious the movie ends with lewis hugging summer and apologizing to her while calling her his child as the police arrive thanks for watching bye you
