A chemist loses his job to outsourcing. Two years later and still jobless, he hits on a solution: to genuinely eliminate his competition.
The Cable Guy
When recently single Steven moves into his new apartment, cable guy Chip comes to hook him up—and doesn't let go.

He begins stalking Steven, who's left to fend for himself because no one else can believe Chip's capable of such behaviour.
