This is the creepy counterpart to Short-Distance Phone Call. It's when someone calls another person from a cell phone. At first the person being called believes the caller to be far away, but then the caller makes a comment like "nice outfit" or whatever, and the person being called realizes they are within line of sight of the caller. Needless to say, it was even creepier before cell phones came around. Also related to The Calls Are Coming from Inside the House. See also Harassing Phone Call. Not to be confused with You Can See Me?. |

On All My Children, as Adam's stalker calls his wife Gloria, he tells her "I'm so close I could reach out and touch you". In a subversion, he isn't—Adam has set the whole thing up to test Gloria's fidelity and has told the man what to say to frighten her into thinking this is an example of this trope. | |

Played for laughs in Home Movies where McGuirk calls Erik and tries to arrange a get-together with him and all their other friends. Erik, looking for an excuse to not go to said get together, lies and says he is looking at his schedule and can't find any free dates. McGuirk then reveals that he is looking in through Eric's window and doesn't see the schedule Erik is talking about. | |

Variant in the movie Hannibal - Clarice is trying to track Hannibal Lecter while he taunts her over the phone, and gets close enough to him for him to mess with her hair when he rides by on the carousel. In the original script of The Silence of the Lambs, he compliments her (during their final phone call) on how lovely she looked in her blue suit at her graduation ceremony. She almost faints at the realization of how close he was. |

In the sci-fi movie Runaway Gene Simmon's character does this twice to Tom Selleck, first by hacking into the security cameras inside the police station ("You're punching buttons on a computer trying to trace this call but you won't because I'm using a mobile phone, shithead!") until his partner puts her cap over the camera. He is not happy. Simmons calls again while Tom Selleck is at a restaurant, eventually revealing himself to be sitting next to his partner holding a pistol on her. | |

The X-Files: Amusing version. Scully's arrived at the address Mulder told her to visit, her phone rings, and it's Mulder complimenting her outfit. He's right behind her. One episode has a criminal receiving such phone calls whenever he comes close to acting up again. Turns out the caller is blind and permanently seeing through his eyes, and as such does NOT want him imprisoned again. |

The Art of War (2000). Shaw rings up the Inspector Javert who's been chasing him, and says there's a rifle pointed at his rookie partner, who's standing next to him holding his umbrella. The cop quips, "I can live with that", but agrees to Come Alone to meet Shaw after a silenced shot cuts the umbrella shaft in two. There's also a silent version when the heroine is trying to sneak out of a building, but the hitman is in the security room watching her, and activates an escalator just as she's about to step on it. | |

The killer from Scream 2 openly taunts Dewey, Gale and Randy about being able to see them while they sit at a crowded campus in broad daylight. This prompts them to start searching for everyone with a cell phone to find the killer... after all, they assume he can't strike to kill under such circumstances. Turns out he can. The killer was hidden in a news van, pulls Randy inside, butchers him and gets away scot-free. | |

Monk, where one case of this gets Played for Laughs. In the episode "Mr. Monk Goes to a Rock Concert," Captain Stottlemeyer catches Randy in the act of Playing Sick to attend a big music festival. His response? Not to walk up to him and address him, but instead, call him on his cell phone from within earshot distance. Hilarity Ensues as Randy tries to pass off the very loud stage music as a broken stereo, while Stottlemeyer speaks in a tone that makes clear that he isn't convinced. | |

Happens as part of a Scream spoof in The Angriest Video Store Clerk in the World. Somebody phones the video store and starts asking leading questions about "scary movies". The conversation goes downhill after the clerk says that his favourite horror movies are Nosferatu, Suspiria (1977), and Bride of Frankenstein, and the caller has never heard of any of them: Then the clerk beats up the would-be slasher killer and confiscates his really big knife, his other really big knife, his katana, his chainsaw and his mask, while lecturing him on his limited taste in movies. |

As a spoof of Scream, the killer in Scary Movie plays and subverts this. After making the threatening phone call, he claims that he can see the hot blonde he's calling. He's actually reading a porn magazine. It gets worse when he issues the threat, "I want to see what your insides look like!". Her response? Telling him to turn to page 54 of the same magazine. | |

In Metal Gear Solid, Snake runs into Meryl. His priority is getting her somewhere safe (because he feels he owes it to the Colonel, her uncle, who is in the whole mess because she was a "hostage"), but he really didn't count on her insisting on helping him out, or her being pretty badass herself, so she keeps a few steps ahead of him early in the game... and when he asks where she is (at a point where he still seems determined to get her out of trouble, by force if necessary), the answer is "where I can see ya". | |

Scream (1996): This is generally how the killer or, as we later learn, killers operates. It's first done during the opening sequence, with Casey getting calls from an ostensible "wrong number" who appears to be rather nice, but instantly turns menacing as hell with this exchange: Later, it gets even more menacing with this exchange after Casey finally gets fed up with the caller: The killer from Scream 2 openly taunts Dewey, Gale and Randy about being able to see them while they sit at a crowded campus in broad daylight. This prompts them to start searching for everyone with a cell phone to find the killer... after all, they assume he can't strike to kill under such circumstances. Turns out he can.

Speed has an interesting example: everyone assumes the villain is watching the drama unfold via the news stations, who have naturally put all their helicopters on the scene for the story. They assume that when they drive onto an airfield, the villain will be blind to their actions (airfields are restricted airspaces, so the news helicopters can't follow them there). But when he refers to the woman driving the bus as "the Wildcat" in reference to the jacket she's wearing, the hero realizes the villain must have a camera somewhere inside the bus as well, which complicates things. | |

Die Hard with a Vengeance: Simon makes a phone call to the FBI car after the Wall Street subway station bombing. Despite Cobb making a stern order to the others to not tell Simon where they are, when Simon talks and gives them his bomb threat, he asks them who is in the van with them, and comments about Andy Cross and Phil Jarvis, the two federal agents in the van, and Jarvis's habit of fidgeting with his glasses. Once we see the emergency vehicles move out, we see that Simon is standing on the rooftop right nearby, watching them. Also when he demands to know why McClane didn't answer a certain payphone when he was supposed to. McClane tells him off, only to have Gruber say "All you had do was say that there was a fat woman on the phone and that you couldn't get her to hang up", thus revealing that he's watching them, as that is in fact exactly what had happened. |

In 2008 movie Get Smart, Max has escaped the prison cell and needs to deliver important news to Chief and 99, who are in Los Angeles. She receives a call from him. Chief orders to trace this call. The call traces to the rooftop in Washington. When a police SWAT team enters that place, they find Bruce or Lloyd, while Max stands on the rooftop near 99 in Los Angeles, and reveals himself when he tells her to turn around. That's because of Max having done a call forwarding across the country and back. | |

A variation in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Sam calls Sitwell on his cell phone and tells him that he must follow him to a van a few blocks away, even directly telling Sitwell where he is ("The good looking guy in the sunglasses, your ten o'clock... Your other ten o'clock,") and raising a glass as they make eye contact. Sitwell doesn't take the threat seriously at first, until he sees a laser sight appear on his tie. Someone else can also see Sitwell... | |

Patrick Jane plays this for laughs as one of his mind games in the fifth season episode "Cherry Picked" of The Mentalist. He and the CBI team are investigating a dead body in a suburban neighborhood. They follow a guy who looks out of place and he claims to be house sitting for two people who lived on the block. Patrick is a step ahead already and realizes they've been kidnapped, so to force the guy to admit it he uses his own cellphone to call the line the man is expecting to hear from the kidnappers on, making him freak out because they told him they'd kill the hostages if he involved the police (who are standing next to him at this very moment). The guy spills the beans and answers the phone nervously with the police staying quiet. Jane tips his hand at that point, "Tell me... what are you wearing?" He then laughs and reveals that he's the one making the call, but now they can help the kidnapping victims and track down the killer | |

Friends: Monica and Chandler are at Ross' apartment across the street and can see the dog the rest of the gang is playing with. They call Phoebe. Another episode had Ross lying about taking care of Ben, setting up a dummy with a pumpkin head while he was in his apartment just across the street from Monica and Rachel's. The pumpkin fell off and he tried to play it off that "Ben" put his head in his shirt, but he was caught. In yet another episode, Joey reveals that to pass the time he sometimes calls Chandler at work pretending to be a stalker. "She" claims that she can see Chandler, backing it up by describing his outfit (which, naturally, Joey would have seen while Chandler was getting ready in the morning). |

The Bourne Series: Jason Bourne does it to Pamela Landy, twice: In The Bourne Supremacy Bourne calls up Landy while he set up a sniper position on a nearby building. While they're talking Bourne discovers Landy is not in fact running Treadstone, notices Nicky Parsons, and demands to meet with her instead. In The Bourne Ultimatum (in the scene we relive from Supremacy) The Bourne Ultimatum also inverts this. |

Subverted in Darkness Take My Hand; after taunting them for a while, a Serial Killer calls Patrick and mentions how handsome he looks at the moment. Patrick immediately asks the killer to tell him what he's wearing, and when the killer dodges the question Patrick immediately calls his bluff and taunts him for just making guesses, which immediately drives him into a fury. | |

In the Cold Case episode "John Henry", the Victim of the Week gets such a call. In the episode "In The Woods", as Lily speaks to Serial Killer George Marks, he snarks about how happy Jefferies seemed upon leaving a realtor's office (he had just discovered some very incriminating evidence), thus revealing that he's been observing the team's investigation. |

The two converse about movies which segues into the caller challenging Piper to answer a question about the first Stab film, wagering the two go on a date if she guesses wrong. Piper tells him he's barking up the wrong tree and things take a dark turn with this exchange: | |
