Laura learns she will be executed the next day; she is given the option to choose the method of execution and she chooses beheading as she thinks it's the quickest and less painful way to go.
On the day after, Laura is lead to the chopping block, barefoot and handcuffed; she is visibly nervous, and as a last wish she asks the headsman to wait for her signal: she will tell him when she is ready and he can proceed chopping off her head. He agrees.
He pushes her down on her knees and helps her to rest and stretch her neck on the block; she looks visibly scared, and a long unnerving wait follows... Finally, she says "I'm ready, behead me!"
The axe crushes on her neck (not visible), chopping her head off. the body shooks and relaxes , and finally we see the headsman taking the cuffs off the headless body while Laura's dead head rests on the floor.
