Steve arrives to visit William at the guesthouse and to buy a stereo, a small act of kindness that contrasts with the looming danger. When he tries to leave, the driveway gate malfunctions and his car stalls; a man blocks the truck while a woman watches, and Steve is dragged from the vehicle and struck with a sledgehammer.

Wojciech steps outside for a cigarette and is attacked by a man from shadows, chased to the front door where the lock holds. He is stabbed and dragged back inside, eventually left bleeding in the shower as a bloody note appears on the front door.
