. (Radio.com) The Weeknd's new video for "The Hills" starts with a bang--or rather, just after one. We see The Weeknd standing next to a flipped-over car, its wheels still spinning and smoke pouring from the interior.

Blood is pouring down his face--a face of the video that he teased Tuesday on Instagram, leading some to believe that he'd been in a fight. He walks around the corner of the car, a woman in blue gloves emerges from the front seat, and he opens the backdoor to allow another woman to clamber out.

From there we see him lumber down the street, framed in the background by flashing police lights and flames emerging from the vehicle. Then he enters a mansion, walks up the stairs and in the last shot of the video finds himself face to face with an undeniably Lynchian tableau--an old, smiling man perched on a bed with two young women, bathed in red light.
