The Weeknd goes on to dance around the room, while his track plays in the background. He eventually interacts with the crowd, standing on a table and spraying champagne and sipping on other people's drinks. He then locks eyes with a young woman in the crown, who is the only one not wearing the mask, other than him. He gets the girl on stage, and the two can be seen grooving to the music which is when he takes out a gun from behind his back and makes the unmasked girl hold it to his head. The terrified young woman can be seen screaming before the screen fades out to black. When the video continues, he waves the gun around the room before holding it to his head, pulling the trigger, and confetti pours out from it.
