As the sequence starts, the train is leaving Temple Station, center for the city's law practices and named for the Order of the Knights Templars, the suppressed Medieval Order from which the Freemasons claim decent. Asher's camera focuses on the Gold signet ring the commuter wears, a symbol of a Freemason.
