Premise 1: X has the power to control your will. He tells you that you should drown yourself and you feel, because he is controlling your will, that you want to drown yourself; in other words you feel as if you are freely deciding to drown yourself.
Premise 2: It is illogical to drown yourself because you will die and without good justification (you are not dying to save the lives of your children, for example).
Conclusion: If you put freedom above logic then you'll die for no good reason. If you put logic above freedom you'll survive.
