In the footage, Isaac's Spector can be briefly seen waking up and wandering around a museum, surrounded by Egyptian exhibitions. Later, while standing in darkly lit hallways and looking in a mirror, he says, "I can't tell the difference between my waking life and dreams."
Another scene features Spector in his Moon Knight costume. He's violently beating someone up in a wrecked public bathroom. "The voice, in your head. It devours you," someone says in voiceover.
