The puppet from the video.

The video, directed by Charlie White, shows a puppet which goes into a hospital following a car accident. The puppet's name, Norman, was coined by fans on Interpol's message board shortly after the video premiered. There are a few things hidden in the background that fans on the message board found, such as the hospital being named "St. Pauls" after the Interpol lead singer Paul Banks.
