Cut's to a BCU of a woman's face, apparently covered in blood, all in black and white.
Off screen slow, menacing footsteps make you fear for the woman as she's obviously in no fit state to defend herself against anyone.
Cut's to a tracking shot of a close up of the antagonists cowboy boots, walking along slowly, purposefully.
Off screen voice, "Do you find me sadistic?", the antagonists hand reaces down with a hankercheif inscribed with 'Bill'. He wipes her face in a seemingly loving way, which juxta poses with his words.
The protaganist refer's to her as 'Kiddo' suggesting his age. It also contrasts greatly with the diagetic but off screen sound of a gun being loaded/cocked. this causes the audience to worry about the woman.
just before the gun goes off (off screen causing shock and mystery) the protagonist just has time to say "Bill, it's your baby". This leaves the audience wondering, is it an ex? bad breakup? Why were they both there? and who was he?
In this sequence there is no non-diagetic sound, adding to the elements of restricted narrative and keeping the film suspenceful.
