The woman groans, clearly out of it. She reaches out herhand, which the paramedic takes. Then her eyes close as sheloses consciousness. The paramedic puts the mask back onher, still holding her hand. She looks down at it - and seesomething. There, on her wrist, we see a tattoo of aspider’s web. Just like the girl from the opening scene.
