Various people pace around in the room with him, including a priest and a policeman, watching the clock impatiently while yelling in Juanes's ear. A woman and two children watch the execution from a window in a room above. When the clock strikes twelve, the executioner, who is shown as Juanes for a moment, throws the switch. A sign flashes "applause." After the execution is over, Juanes walks into the room with the woman and children.
