Biography[]
Michael Foster lives in Los Angeles, California. He had a sexual relationship with his sister Melinda, who eventually died of cancer, leaving Michael grieving and severely disturbed.
As an adult, he stalks attractive teenage girls who bear a resemblance to Melinda. He kidnaps them and surgically removes their hair. This hair was apparently used to reconstruct Melinda, though he struggles to find the right scent in each hair that matches his deceased sister's.
His known victims were Leah Templeton and Casey Welson.
The Call[]
Michael Foster first broke into the home of Leah Templeton. She dials 9-1-1 for help. Unfortunately, the power lines are cross and Jordan Turner, the LAPD 9-1-1 dispatcher, redials the number which alerts Michael. Michael finds her, beats her unconscious and kills her by scalping her. when Jordan calls Leah's name, Michael picks up the phone and says, "It's already done", and hangs up.
Six months later, Michael strikes again when he finds Casey Welson at a mall with a friend. He follows her down to a parking garage where he kidnaps her and throws her into the trunk of his car, a red Toyota Camry LE. Casey dials 9-1-1 and a rookie dispatcher named Brooke answers but is unable to go through with it. Jordan takes over and soon realizes that Michael is the same killer from before.
Casey finds paint cans and after punching out the tail light, she waves her hand and pours paint out onto the street signaling other drivers for help. When a man sees this, he tells Michael that paint is spilling from his car. The man tries to dial 9-1-1 but Michael catches him and beats him with a shovel.
After this, he switches cars (to his victim's black Lincoln Town Car Signature Limited, a big change from the red Camry) to distract the police, but Michael leaves his fingerprints behind, giving police a lead. When the man wakes up, he tries to escape, but Michael stabs the man to death.
After Michael stops for gas at a gas station, Casey attempts to escape from the car, screaming for help. When the gas station attendant tries to intervene, Michael pours gasoline all over him and sets him on fire. He knocks Casey unconscious and locks her inside the trunk. Jordan then drives over to Michael's house to look for Casey. She finds several photos of Michael and Melinda having sex, as well as photos of her with her hair having fallen out, and Jordan deduces that Melinda had cancer, and eventually died.
In the meantime, Michael straps Casey down onto a retractable wheelchair. He then proceeds to sedate her with nitrous oxide and process her coldly and cunningly. Jordan makes her way down into the basement where she discovers a dead body of another girl and sees Michael rub his face in a scalp with blonde hair, that of Leah Templeton.
Michael goes into the room with Casey and prepares to scalp her, apologizing when she cries out in pain. At that moment, Jordan hits him in the face with the head of a hair stylist's doll. Jordan frees Casey but Michael tries to drown Jordan in the sink.
Casey then takes scissors and stabbed Michael in the face. Jordan and Casey race out of the basement, with Michael in hot pursuit. Michael tries to attack Jordan but Casey stabs him in his lower back. Jordan and Casey proceed to kick him back into the basement, knocking him out.
Casey and Jordan decide to take revenge on Michael, so they bind Michael to the dentist chair with duct tape and metal chains, and tell him they are going to leave him there to die. Casey says that the police will believe that she escaped and that he just disappeared. Casey and Jordan walk out of the room while Michael begs for his life, screaming, "You can't do this!" Jordan replies, "It's already done". It's likely Michael eventually died of starvation and thirst.
