INT. Underworld - Day - Cave

Harold walks in through a wooden door.

HAROLD: They have just opened it master.

He talks to a dark figure who is facing the wall. The figure turns around to reveal someone who looks like Daryl but his eyes are filled with black.

DARYL: Good. You are dismissed.

Harold walks out the door.

Daryl turns to a mirror.

DARYL: And I have you for the next step.

In the mirror we see a terrified looking Daryl, obviously he has been possessed by some sort of demon.

DARYL: Is that okay?

End of teaser.
