Jeremy carries a protesting Cecily over his shoulder into his secluded Gothic cottage. She realizes he has taken her to an isolated location where no one can intervene. After setting her down, he warns her not to run, threatening to chase and punish her if she tries. Intimidated, Cecily follows him into the kitchen, where he begins cooking them dinner. She reluctantly sets the greasy table while he cooks. He retrieves vodka, which triggers memories of their previous encounter.

Over dinner, he reveals he bought the cottage as a private retreat and demonstrates knowledge of her eating habits, confirming his ongoing stalking. When she asks what happens next, he deflects. She asks about their compatibility, but he insists they share specific kinks and could have an arrangement if she stops fighting him. He cryptically claims he gave her a choice before and she chose wrong, confusing her. Jeremy then announces they will play Russian roulette.

Jeremy retrieves a real revolver, empties the bullets onto the table, and loads a single round into the cylinder. He explains they will play “truth-or-die”: Each asks two questions, and after answering, the respondent must fire.
