In the next scene, Lady Gaga was seen walking up a flight of stairs saying, “I’m nobody,” while shaping her fingers into a gun and putting it to her head.
She continued, seemingly talking to Joaquin, “I haven’t done anything in my life like you have.”
As the two sat next to each other while watching a movie, Lady Gaga had the idea to break out of the asylum.
In different clips, Joaquin was seen in his typical Joker getup: clown makeup and his red and yellow suit.
