Anna and her lover kiss chastely on a bridge. He dons sunglasses and waves as she runs down a stairway to the river's edge, then watches in horror as she's knocked flat and loaded into the back of a hearse. He then removes the glasses to wipe his eyes and realizes that the abducted girl is not his lover...
