Transcript
In a stone room, Mr. Keane stands beside Mr. Black and Miss Shaw as they gather around a black table with glowing symbols, a skeleton, and separate body parts. Mr. Keane: Just a draught. Mr. Black: Uh...that's breakfast-bar height, sir. Mr. Keane: It is ritual working height. Miss Shaw: Did the hatch just close itself? Miss Shaw writes in a notebook while Mr. Black and Mr. Keane stand beside the table. Miss Shaw: Head. Ribs. Arm. His foot. ... Her foot. Mr. Keane: Temporarily. Stand back, please.
