Halsey Teams Up With Dominic Fike For Bamboozling 'Phone Numbers' Video

in the event you get hired somewhere, in this economy, it's probably–no, definitely– in your best interest to maybe, um, not engage in criminal activity? Dominic Fike doesn't seem to understand that in his new video for "Phone Numbers." He is a swindler extraordinaire, using his uncanny ability to get a job at any company of his choosing to act as a front for his dastardly deeds. He must have one hell of a cover letter and/or interview presence.


While he can get a job anywhere, Fike isn't slick. The cops are onto him, evident by the board of polaroid photos with rubber bands and tacks that connected everything with each other, just like the ones in hardboiled detective movies featuring investigators rubbing their chins while looking at them. Fike then hops out of a pest control van with producer Kenny Beats (who orchestrates the song's mellow and slightly optimistic beat) and so they spray a home for bugs while stealing money, gold, and awards. It's later revealed to be Halsey's residence! She screams to officers to calculate who took her stuff while an adorable dog yips in her arms.


Kenny Beats gets caught and Fike runs. As a substitute opposed to of providing aid his friend, he goes on to find other jobs. He is a fireman, airline pilot, and boilerplate office worker. He shouldn't even need to resort to crime with the steady quantity of legal revenue that he has coming in. Fike eventually gets caught by the police and escapes by distracting them with a water gun and hopping into a car with a waiting friend. We're meant to presume that he's heading back to the job board to get another gig.


Watch Fike go through a ton of jobs in "Phone Numbers" up above.
