A man is running away from something. He runs into a locker room. His reflection slowly slashes his own throat, and the man dies, experiencing the effects of his throat being slashed despite not doing it himself. Ben Carson is a former undercover detective who was suspended after shooting another officer. He is forced to take a night time security job at a department store that was gutted by a fire. The department store used to be a psychiatric hospital that experimented in treating schizophrenia. In 1952, a mass killing took place and the hospital was closed. The Mayflower was later reopened as a luxury department store. Carson comments on the pristine mirrors throughout the store, another guard comments that the man Carson is replacing was obsessed with cleaning them.
