He races ahead of her and prepares an ambush. However, his would-be target finds shelter from the downpour, and he ends up pulling a bag over Gloria Fiske instead.
When he carries her back to his basement apartment and removes the bag, he is dumbfounded to find he has captured a middle-aged housewife. With no alternative, he makes do with the person he has caught, but she proves to be not quite what he envisaged.
