Dr. Donovan: "Magician, I think I need to tell you something more about Lilly...my little Lily. The thing is she's a very sensitive child and as a child it sometimes gets quite difficult for her to follow & adopt with her constant required treatments & medications. And for that she sometimes gets bit upset with me. Moreover, she doesn't like to talk that much like any other child of her age. Even she hasn't been talk to me since last Friday. It doesn't bother me now as I'm giving my full concentration to get her well soon. So in case if you find your main audience tonight kind of less responsive then please I like to humbly request you to take it naturally. Just go in there & show some of your best magic. I believe that will at least make her happy inside."
Marcel: "Don’t worry, sir. It'll be all fine. I'm sure soon or later she will realize you are the best father in the whole world."
And as they are about to enter inside the house Dr. Donovan stops for a moment & says: "Thank you, Mr. Marcel. Thanks a lot, for coming to my house tonight."
Next scene:
Location: Inside Dr. Donovan’s mansion. A big & beautifully decorated seating/drawing room. In the center of the room Marcel is ready to start the show with his regular props, wearing the black robe & the hat, now waiting for his main viewer to appear in the room. There's Paolo standing in a corner, looking pretty excited. Some moments later Dr. Donovan enters into the room through the large door with a wheel chair where a pretty little girl is seating on it. There's a pale, sad look on her face.
As they enter into the room Palo starts clapping bit hysterically with a big grin on his face. Dr. Donovan raises a hand and signals Paolo to stop the clapping. Then he kneels down, seats beside the wheel chair & holds a hand of her daughter and allows Marcel to start the show.
After an exciting & fun introduction Marcel showed every caricature & played all of his interesting magic tricks that he always used to show to his younger audience to amuse them where most of the time he gets a very positive response but this time he only able to see something like a blink of a smile in Lily's face. Except for Paolo, he enjoyed it thoroughly and Dr. Donovan joins him particularly in the clapping part at the end of the show.
Dr. Donovan: "Thank you, Magician! That's truly fantastic. I'm sure Lily enjoyed your show very much."
Both of them look at Lily and see a little smile on her face.
Dr. Donovan: "Oh, it’s almost bed time for Lily. Please wait for me, Magician."
Dr. Donovan holds the wheel chair & leaves the room with Lily. Paolo follows them.
Marcel begins to pack his things up. But just after a while he hears a voice, almost like coming from the void. It's Lily's voice.
Lily: "Magician! Magician! It's me...Lily!"
Marcel quickly takes a look around him but sees no one in the room.
Lily: "Please help my papa...please save those girls...save me!"
Marcel suddenly realizes Lily is actually talking inside his mind.
Lily: "After some recent experiments papa conducted on me I can now do this thing...talking inside anyone's head. But you have to help us, Magician. Papa is going crazy...she brought those girls and lock them up in the secret dungeon under this house. And then...and then...Noooo!"
Lily screams. Marcel kneels down on the floor, holding his head with both hands. He feels a headache for a while and then stands up. There's no Lily's voice now.
Marcel sees Dr. Donovan is standing on the door.
Dr. Donovan: "That’s an extraordinary side effect resulted from my experimentation on her lately. I suppose she told you everything. Oh, the girl is suffering me from the day she was born."
Marcel: "What's going on here, Doctor? Tell me what you have done?...You kidnapped those girls from our shows?!"
Dr. Donovan: "Oh, those are few little sacrifices for a greater cause."
Marcel: "What cause? Why are you doing this? What's actually wrong with your girl?"
"Wrong! What's wrong with her?!" Dr. Donovan just burst into great anger. "Haven’t you notice? She is a dwarf, Magician! She is like one of those little people in your shows. My only little child in this whole damn world is a midget, Magician! Yes...She is a midget!" Dr. Donovan now weeps a little, "And I just can't accept this anymore. At the age of 20, she just looks like a 6 to 7 years old girl."
Marcel: "But why don’t you accept her like the way she is? It's the way God made her. What can we do?"
Dr. Donovan (back to the angry mood): "Go and tell this rubbish to the world outside and ask them why they don't treat her like a normal child? You know well...they will never do that. She & her kind always have been a laughing matter for them...a circus material...a freak of nature! I just want to see her grow up like any other normal child and that's why I have devoted all my knowledge to make a cure for this your God's twisted little curse. I won't stop until the day I succeed."

Marcel: "But how the hell those innocent young girls come between you & your daughter? Why you need them? For God's sake please tell me what have you done with them?"
Dr. Donovan: "Oh, you won't understand that, Magician. Just know that for my new ongoing research every day I need some very fresh human tissues & body samples. They are just fulfilling my research requirements."
Marcel: "Oh my God! Yes...I can understand now, your daughter was right, you are really going insane, doctor!"
Dr. Donovan: "I don't like to waste anymore time on you. There's a crucial experiment I need to conduct tonight. Anyway, I think unfortunately you have already known too much about my family matters and that's a great threat for my research. So I can't let you go, Magician. You will join with those 'missing girls' soon...very soon!”
Marcel: "What do you mean...?"
Dr. Donovan then just yelled two names..."Marco! Polo!"
As Marcel make an attempt to run away but he just meets with two tall, vicious looking gigantic guys at the doorway.
Dr. Donovan: "Take him into the dungeon and lock him up in a cell. I'll later decide about his fate after my experiment."
The giants grab his hands from both sides and force Marcel to walk with them.
Marcel looks back at the doctor & says "You know doctor...I always liked to believe scientists like you are the greatest magicians in the world. But you proved me wrong tonight. You are a disappointment of your kind. You are a mad!"
Dr. Donovan gives no reply this time, just smiles. And the screen fades off on his face.
In the following sequence the camera follows Paolo & the giants as they are now taking Marcel into the underground dungeon of Dr. Donovan's mansion. It's a long corridor where in the both sides there's heavy iron door cells. The screaming of the captive girls is coming out from some of the cells. They put Marcel in one of the empty cells and lock the door. Paolo keeps the key and tells the giants to go to the doctor as he may need them soon for his work. The giant duo doesn't argue or say anything, just leaves the dungeon area.
Few moments later Paolo takes a peek into Marcel's cell through the little iron rod window.
Frustrate Marcel is seating inside.
Marcel suddenly stands up, goes to the window & calls Paolo.
Marcel: "Hey Paolo, do you like to see some more magic?"
Paolo responds positively. Then Marcel pulled a locket out from his pocket & swings the locket and tries to hypnotize him. He succeeds and commands Paolo to open all the cell doors one by one. As Marcel & the captive girls get free they first get the information from Paolo about the way out from the mansion. Then Marcel asked about Lily & where he can find her now. Hypnotized Paolo tells him to go to the laboratory upstairs where the doctor is about to beginning a new experiment on her. Then Marcel tells the girls to run away from the mansion, seek for help & call the police, he'll join them later after rescuing Little Lily from the mad doctor. Marcel locks up Paolo in a cell and goes & finds out the doctor's lab.
As he enters into the big lab he sees senseless Lily and another girl is lying down on two surgical beds in the center of the room. It seems Dr. Donovan is about to beginning an operation. There are shelves filled with jars & equipments, different big electrical machinery around the room.

"How the hell he gets free? Where’s Paolo?" naturally Dr. Donovan is very much shocked to see Marcel in the lab.
Then Marcel sees the giant duo are coming towards him from both of his sides.
Marcel: "There are still some tricks left to show you, doctor!" Marcel drops some marble like balls from his pocket in the floor. They explode & create a lot of smokes around the whole room quickly. Marcel swiftly vanishes into the smokes. The giant duo & the doctor can't able to see him or anything in the smoke. Then there are sounds of jars breaking down on the floor and instantly the giants' starts to screaming as if Marcel threw some acid on them. Then it starts to become visible that Marcel is fighting with the doctor now. As their fights results some shelves, machinery & equipments falling down on the floor and that leads to a heavy fire quickly spreading around the room. After a while the doctor gets stuck under a heavy machine as it falls over him. Marcel tries to pull him up but fails. Moreover, as they both see the fire is now heading towards him, Dr. Donovan then tells Marcel to save his daughter & the other girl from the fire instead of him and leave the mansion as quickly as possible. Marcel accepts his final request & save the girls from the fire.
