Let's cue another scare.
This is where fear meets funny.
You're on my prank show, Prank Encounters.
- Did you know? - No! This is Prank Encounters.
Hey, so we've all seen those shows where plastic surgery goes badly.
This episode of Prank Encounters features plastic surgery going deadly.
Welcome to Dr.
Ritter's very expensive home.
In our story, Dr.
Ritter is a plastic surgeon.
He claims the woman underneath those bandages is his wife, Teresa, who's recovering from a recent procedure.
But tonight, these two unsuspecting targets are going to uncover an awful truth about Dr.
Ritter and his wife.
Our first target is Dallas.
She's been hired to work alongside our actor, Julian, as an in-home caregiver for the bed-ridden patient.
Now here's where things get interesting.
Our second target is Nick.
Nick has accepted a job assisting our actor, Dave, who's playing the role of a private investigator and tonight they'll be driving around town looking for a missing woman named Nicole.
Hmm.
There's a few things Dallas and Nick don't know.
For example, everyone they're about to encounter are actors, and every move they make will be caught on hidden camera.
Also, Dallas and Nick have never met, but they will tonight at the bedside of a woman who's about to reveal the terrifying truth about her true identity.
Have a seat.
Okay.
So I'm gonna tell you everything you need to know.
- Okay.
- All right.
So, a very expensive home.
It's owned by a very famous plastic surgeon.
Okay.
And, we've been hired to look over his wife, because she's had some work done.
Okay.
So, tell me a little bit about yourself.
Do you have any medical experience or No.
Not at all.
Okay.
My extent on medical is Grey's Anatomy.
- Okay.
- So Well, that's - It's a start.
- Yep.
- It's a start.
- Now show me Nick.
Thanks for helping me out tonight.
- Of course.
- All right.
I'm basically a private investigator.
Okay.
And I got a couple of leads on a couple of cases tonight that we're gonna do.
One is a missing persons case that I got a tip on.
Okay.
Have you ever worked with a private investigator? Uh-uh.
I have no idea.
Basically, we're problem solving and we're solving puzzles.
Like have you ever lost your keys? - Yeah.
- Have you found them? - Yeah.
- You're a private investigator.
All right.
It looks like Dave and Nick are hitting the streets.
Time for Dallas to meet the doctor.
Hi, Julian.
Who's your friend? - I'll let you introduce yourself.
- Hi, I'm Dallas.
- Dallas.
Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
Lovely to meet you.
My wife has had a very serious accident, and I've been caring for her at home.
I'm a plastic surgeon.
- Okay.
- So, I did her reconstruction myself.
Mm-hmm.
And I just honestly need a breather.
So, I'm gonna get a little night out, finally, and I feel some guilt about it so it's nice to see friendly faces who I can trust to take care of things.
Yeah.
Back story about this is, missing person, Nicole Rubins.
All right, Dave.
Show him the pictures.
What's interesting about this one is that the wallet was left behind, the phone was left behind, so there's no reason to think she'd run off or anything, so we think that she is kidnapped or or worse.
Is this her car? That's her car.
- Okay.
- What kind of car is it? A Kia something.
Yeah, it looks like a Kia.
- What color? - Gray.
Okay.
Gray Kia.
So, that also went missing, and if you look at the next photo you'll notice she's got a tattoo.
It's of grapes or raspberries.
It's very distinctive.
Okay.
She's had some surgery recently.
She is sedated for her pain, so it'll be important to be there for her because she's very disoriented and sometimes says nonsensical things that you wouldn't believe.
- Maybe we should just go and meet my wife? - Yeah.
Do you wanna meet her? - Teresa is her name.
- Teresa, okay.
Just remember, "Teresa.
" "Teresa.
" Got ya.
Because it's important.
If you remember her name, she'll remember her name.
- Yes.
- So it is important to repeat her name to her - Great.
- Yeah.
to help keep her locked into who she is, and she is Teresa.
- Yes.
- All right.
Let's head in.
- Follow me.
- After you.
All right.
Looks like our private investigators are making their first stop.
So, right now we're going to Carmen's house.
She contacted me.
She said she wants to talk to me.
She recognized the woman in the fliers.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Dave Gregory.
- Hi.
- Hi, I'm Nick.
- Nick.
Hi, Nick.
When I saw the flier, it looked so much like my neighbor, Teresa but was a different name.
- "Nicole"? - "Nicole," yeah.
I don't know who Nicole is.
I just know Teresa.
And that looks like her? Oh, wow.
I mean, she looks just like Teresa.
Are you sure it's not Teresa? All right.
I set up some seats for you two over there.
Great.
So this is Teresa.
I love her.
I know it's hard to tell, but she's actually 54 years old.
Oh.
So if you That's actually my shrine to her.
She's beautiful.
Thank you.
I know.
Teresa is my neighbor, and her husband is a plastic surgeon.
Does she have, uh, any tattoos? Her husband does not like tattoos.
He's very particular.
I mean, real clean cut.
Everything has to be perfect, the symmetry.
It's okay for her to be awake.
You can encourage that.
Okay.
But, if she becomes agitated, we need her to be asleep.
It's important for her recovery.
The meds are over here.
Start with morphine and if you don't get the desired result, we move up to Fentanyl.
I love you so much.
Teresa, Teresa, Teresa, Teresa, Teresa, Teresa, Teresa, Teresa, Teresa That's you.
That is you.
Always remember you're Teresa.
I love you forever, beyond the grave.
Goodbye, my sweet.
I will return very soon.
Great.
Okay.
Um - I'm gonna go.
Okay? - Great.
Don't tell me, that plastic surgeon down there you might wanna go check on him and see where Teresa is.
So, you go down the street, make a left, make another left.
It's the nicest house in the whole neighborhood.
Like I said, he's loaded.
How long ago was her surgery? Um I think her surgery was about two months ago.
Okay.
Great.
I hate to do this but I gotta use the restroom.
- Okay.
- So, I'll be right back.
Okay.
Hi, Teresa.
Let me find a good article to read to you.
Let's see.
Dallas Yeah.
Teresa? Teresa, it's okay.
It's okay.
I'm not supposed to be over here.
It's okay, he'll be back soon.
No.
Not mine.
Not yours? All right, so why don't we do this? Why don't we go out, we go over to Teresa's house, where she lives.
We'll talk to them, tell them what we know and then we'll get to the bottom of this.
I mean, that makes me, like, a little nervous a little bit.
- What are you nervous about it? - I don't know, just It's late at night, like, going to somebody's house and looking for somebody.
That's investigating.
We're private investigators.
Oh my God.
- That felt great.
- Um She said something.
- She said something? - Yeah.
She said something about her husband, and I was like, "He's gonna be back soon," and then she said "Not mine.
" But I think I must have just been hearing things.
Say calm things to her.
It's okay.
It's okay, Teresa.
Take notes.
It's okay.
This is what we call agitation.
We can't have this.
We're gonna go with the morphine.
Calm her.
- No! - Calm.
It's okay, Teresa.
- No more medicine! - Calm.
- No! - It's okay.
Calm.
It's okay.
Write this down.
Fifteen-hundred milligrams of morphine, going in.
Why? All right, Nick and Dave are pulling up to Dr.
Ritter's house.
Our targets are now at the same location.
Does this look like a plastic surgeon's house, or what? Probably, yeah, because they've got money.
So what is that? A car under a tarp.
Why don't we check out that car? How are you gonna look under that car We're just looking.
This is private property.
Won't we get in trouble? We're gonna talk.
All right Okay, let's check this out.
- I think it's the car.
- Does it match the photo? I think so, yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
That is disturbing.
Okay, Nick has identified Nicole's car.
Let's join forces.
Let's bring Dallas and Nick together.
- My god.
- Let's go talk to this guy.
- Keep an eye on her, okay? - Yeah, I'll keep reading.
- Hello, how are you? - How's it going? - Good, how are you? - We're both private investigators.
We're out looking for a missing woman.
So, this is it, guys.
This is where Dallas and Nick collide.
So we can talk to her? - Yeah.
- Okay, great.
All right, why don't you have a seat? This is Nick.
I'm Dave Gregory.
We are private investigators.
Oh.
- And we are working a case.
- Oh.
So there's a missing woman from Alabama, Nicole.
- Okay.
- We don't know a Nicole.
There's a neighbor down the street and she said that she's seen a woman who looks like her.
What name did she give? Teresa.
This is Teresa.
This is Teresa.
That's Teresa.
No, that's Nicole, but look at Nicole's picture.
And the car in the driveway matches the same car that Nicole had back in Alabama.
And we're trying to figure out why her car is in this driveway.
I'm gonna make sure this front door is locked.
Okay.
And Nicole, who's been missing for, what? - Two months.
- Two months.
- Oh, my God.
She - What? She Her husband is a plastic surgeon and she's been healing from surgery for two months.
She's working it out, guys.
Maybe I've watched too much True Crime, but maybe that's Nicole, and he just did surgery to make her look like Teresa.
That's all I'm saying.
We also have a photo of her of her tattoo.
Okay.
- Have you seen that? - I haven't.
Her arms have been under the blanket the whole time.
See? That has to be her.
And it looks like he removed her tattoo.
All right, let's cue another scare in three, two, one.
Oh, my God! Wait, don't Um So, what Tell me what's going on? What happened? I don't think that that's Teresa.
- What do you mean? - I mean, I think that's Nicole.
Whoever it is, we have to care for her.
Everybody calm down.
I don't think you should give her more medicine.
- She doesn't want it.
- I have to.
Here.
So, we just discovered that she had a tattoo that was removed.
This is what Nicole had and that right there looks exactly like this tattoo but after being removed.
Yeah, but this has faded, though.
But, that's faded because it's been removed.
When you remove them, they don't become an eraser.
It's not just gone.
Does that not look like a tattoo that just got removed? Uh Yeah, it does.
Dr.
Ritter's residence.
Who's that? "Gains.
" Detective Gains.
Thank you so much.
Okay.
Bye.
Detective Gains just said that he just found Dr.
Ritter's wife's body and he needs to go identify it.
Now our theory is that Dr.
Ritter's residence.
- Is this Dallas? - Yes, this is Dallas.
Yeah, it's Doctor Ritter.
- Hi.
- I'm just checking in.
How's everything going? Yeah, everything's going great.
Good.
So everything's fine? Who is it? Dr.
Ritter.
You sound agitated, Dallas.
Is everything okay? We've just been caring for Teresa.
Okay.
I'm on my way.
Okay, sounds great.
Thanks.
Bye, bye.
- Who was that? - Okay That was Dr.
Ritter.
- Who's that? - That's the doctor who owns this house, the one who did her surgery and he's about to finish up his errands and come back.
You know what, I'm nervous.
- Mm-hm.
- I got to use the bathroom.
I'll be back.
Don't leave.
Okay, so, we're all gonna just stay cool.
Right, Nick? Yeah.
Cue the doctor.
Is that Julian? - Hi.
- Hello.
How are you doing? Dallas, who is this? A private investigator.
Okay.
Well, we came here looking for a woman named Nicole who was from Alabama and she's been missing for two months, and she fits the description of the woman who lives here, according to one of your neighbors.
It's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
Ridiculous.
Ridiculous.
You know what? Um Why don't you and I have a quick chat? Nick, why don't you and Dallas stay calm, stay here? Okay? Nick, you're in charge.
- I'm not going with you.
- I think you should.
You and I are gonna Let's go.
Come on, let's go.
What in God's name I'm sorry, I So, I just wanna talk to you.
There's some evidence that I don't even know what the hell's going on.
Doctor, I just need to know who that woman is in there.
- It's really quiet in there.
- I know, girl.
Should I go? - I don't know.
- It's okay.
It's okay.
Who's this man? - Me? - Oh, Nick.

Ritter is back.
What do you mean? And he's talking to the detective, and she just said she's Nicole.
- It's okay.
- Save me.
You've gotta help me.
Help! - Should I give her morphine? - No! Don't give her more morphine.
She needs to, like, pretend she's asleep if the doctor comes back.
That way he doesn't do anything to hurt her.
- I have to run.
- She needs help.
- Can you run? - My legs are numb.
Can you carry me? I don't have upper body strength.
I don't have muscles either.
Call 911.
Call 911! Hi.
We have a missing person Or, we have a situation.
Yes.
Tell them.
Okay.
Yes, there's a doctor and I think he's crazy.
I don't know.
We think he's the one that kidnapped her.
Everyone good? Yes, we're good.
We're good.
Someone was on the phone.
Who called? Uh What about you, Mr.
Detective? What do you mean, what about me? Who just called? I don't know but you got blood on you.
I'm a doctor.
You're a doctor? Were you doing doctor on the detective I came here with, though? He's resting.
He's resting? Why you got blood on you? We had a disagreement, and sometimes disagreements turn physical.
The police.
The police are coming.
All right, then we should all just relax, right? Just like you're gonna relax.
What the Shh Shh.
Get the fuck off of him! What It's time for me to go in.
Wish me luck.
- Everybody chill out.
- You chill the fuck out.
You seem upset.
You seem a little I seem a little what? Don't fucking touch her.
- That's my wife.
- That's not your wife.
My wife lives on in her.
What the fuck does that mean? Teresa died on the table but I captured her spirit in my heart, and I found a woman who looked like her.
You're going to just make her? You can't reborn people.
I'm putting that soul into this woman with my love.
- I love you, Teresa.
- That is not Teresa.
The police are coming soon to get you.
We're gonna be leaving here shortly, and everyone else here is going to be asleep.

A round of applause.
