Mike and James are walking home late at night when James thinks he sees a mysterious figure following them. When Mike goes to use the bathroom, he doesn't return. James runs home alone, frightened. The next scene shows Mike tied up and injured in an abandoned building, confused about how he got there. James is panicking at home about Mike's disappearance when the power suddenly cuts out. He shines his phone light outside and sees a figure briefly walk by the window before the camera cuts to black.
