  • A man is discovered in a dark room with very bloody cuts on his arms and his eyes are rolled back in his head; a police officer enters the room and runs out saying the man had taken his gun, and we see the man holding the gun, placing it in his mouth and shooting himself (blood splatters on the wall behind him and he falls to the floor).

  • A woman is restrained in a bed in a dark and filthy basement; we see her contorted body covered with a sheet, the sheet is removed, she is injected with a hypodermic and her limbs relax to a normal state; she twists her arm around, we see her shoulder bulge and hear a loud pop, she has sores on her flesh, oddly large pupils and dried vomit on her face and she is tied to the bed frame while a priest begins an exorcism.
