阿黛尔正准备出门，她预感又将是无聊的一天。正当她准备离开时，听到敲门声。她没在意，便去开门——却发现一个蒙面男子站在门口。

他平静地道谢。

还没等她反应过来，他就上前一步，捂住了她的嘴。阿黛尔惊恐地僵住了，他强行闯了进来。

镜头切换。

下一个场景中，阿黛尔已经被捆绑住了。蒙面男子熟练地用胶带将她的手腕反绑在背后，然后用多层胶带缠绕她的腰部，固定住她的双臂。他强迫她坐下，继续他的工作——用更多的胶带紧紧地捆绑她的手臂、胸部和双腿。

阿黛尔惊慌失措地抗议，质问他想要什么。

男子平静得令人不安：他只是需要一个安静的地方待着，因为他要去隔壁公寓“工作”。如果她乖乖听话，他就不会伤害她——而且他很快就会回来。

为了确保她不会出声，他用灰色胶带封住了她的嘴，然后把她留在那里挣扎，自己则在房子里四处走动。

独自一人时，阿黛尔不肯放弃。她扭动着身体，试图挣脱束缚，尽管胶带缠得那么紧。她费力地够着附近的抽屉——她想起自己可能把剪刀落在那里了。

但就在她快要拿到剪刀的时候，窃贼回来了。

他觉得她太危险了，于是进一步收紧了她的束缚。这一次，他把她按倒在地，用猪蹄式捆绑法把她捆得结结实实。他把原来的胶带换成了更紧的环绕式胶带，在胶带里塞了些东西，然后紧紧地封住。

现在阿黛尔几乎动弹不得——只能发出含糊不清的声音。

她只能祈祷入侵者赶紧结束作案离开。

最终，他心满意足地回来了。他已经搜遍了整栋楼，洗劫了好几间公寓。临走前，他把她捆绑得更紧了些，又用好几层胶带蒙住了她的眼睛，确保她一时半会儿无法逃脱。

然后他就走了。

阿黛尔静静地躺在那里，什么也看不见，几乎动弹不得——只能独自挣扎。

当她逐渐意识到自己可能要这样被困几个小时……至少要等到女佣回来。

至少，她苦涩地想，现在她有了一个非常好的旷工借口。Adele is getting ready for what she expects to be another boring day of work. As she prepares to leave, she hears a knock at the door. Thinking nothing of it, she opens—only to find a masked man standing on her doorstep.

He calmly thanks her for opening.

Before she can react, he steps forward and clamps a hand over her mouth. Adele freezes in shock as he pushes his way inside.

Cut.

In the next scene, Adele is already being restrained. The masked man efficiently tapes her wrists behind her back, then wraps layers of tape around her waist to secure her arms in place. He obliges her to sit, continuing his work—binding her arms, chest, and legs tightly with more tape.

Panicked, Adele protests, demanding to know what he wants.

The man replies with unsettling calm: he just needs a quiet place to stay while he does some “work” in the neighboring apartments. If she behaves, he won’t harm her—and he won’t be long.

To ensure her silence, he seals her mouth with a gray tape gag and leaves her there, struggling, while he moves through the house.

Alone, Adele refuses to give up. She squirms and twists, trying to free herself despite how tightly she’s been taped. With great effort, she attempts to reach a nearby drawer—remembering she might have left a pair of scissors there.

But just as she gets close, the burglar returns.

Deciding she’s too much of a risk, he tightens her restraints further. This time, he puts her onto the floor and secures her in a hogtie, reinforcing everything. He replaces her gag with a more restrictive wraparound tape gag, stuffing material inside before sealing it tight.

Now Adele can barely move—only muffled sounds escape her.

All she can do is hope the intruder finishes quickly and leaves.

Eventually, he returns, satisfied. He has completed his sweep of the building, robbing several apartments. Before leaving, he tightens her hogtie even more and blindfolds her with layers of tape, ensuring she won’t escape anytime soon.

Then he’s gone.

Adele lies there in silence, unable to see, barely able to move—left alone to struggle.

As the reality settles in, she realizes she may be stuck like this for hours… at least until the maid comes back.

At least, she thinks bitterly, she now has a very good excuse for missing work.
