The hall is full. On the stage, DR. HELEN HUDSON is

INT. STONE ROOM - DAY
No windows. The Hooded Man enters. In the center of the room
a CIRCLE has been drawn. Bordering the circle are hundreds of
CANDLES, forming a ring of fire. A MAN stands in the center,
his head bowed -- his weight supported by thick ROPES
