-Where is the old man? -Al, what's happening to your face?
He's laughing at me.
For this newest hellspawn, his domain is that burned skin...
...and the scarlet shroud protecting him and possessing him...
...at the same time.
You got a thing for these psychos, Lisa.
They all give off the same scent: Evil.
What's happening with the NSC and Terry?
He's stays away for days at a time. It's driving us apart.
Confirm Chapel involvement.
Chapel is just a puppet. The NSC is pulling the strings.
I understand that New York's finest
who're killed in the line of duty are given a quite hero's burial.
The only man who can make decisions at this level is Jason Wynn.
You've done well, officer.
Twitch is down!
We wear masks to project images that aren't really who we are.
Why do we hide behind masks? What are we so afraid to show the world?
Maybe we're never really comfortable with our own skin.
Or maybe we believe that people won't accept us for what we truly are.
Twitch, can you hear me? This is Sam. Lísten to me. Nobody dies tonight.
You hear me? You're not gonna die
in this shithole alley. -Hey, Burke.
I saw... the guy with the red cloak.
He came out of nowhere, shot your partner.
I chased him, but he just vanished.
Look what he did to Twitch. Oh, sweet Jesus.
I'm gonna kill that fucker for what he did to my partner!
Wait for backup! Burke!
You hear that, you piece of shit? I'll fuckin' kill you!
Glad you guys could make it.
But you're a little late. The son of a bitch is gone.
-I knew you would come. -They're swarming through the alleys.
-I can't go back till they're gone. -There's always sanctuary for you here.
Why do they hunt you? What have you done?
They think I killed a cop. I can't hide from them anymore.
You have to stop the senseless killings.
The people I kill deserve to die!
You project your evil onto others
and then kill them thinking you've destroyed that evil.
You're no different from the other hellspawns and they're all dead.
It is all foretold here in the Book of Knowledge.
That's just a musty old book. It means nothing to me.
There's only a single book like this one
written a long time ago, in the time of the mist.
It can help you break the curse and defy Malebolgia.
He made me a prisoner inside this shroud.
I escaped the shroud. You can do the same and be free.
It fights against me. I can't control it.
Yes, you can.
To be master of the shroud
you must be master of your heart. -My heart is dead.
That's what Malebolgia wants you to believe.
Yes, he did choose a man whose heart was dark
but now, inside you, there is some good.
Malebolgia is the mind killer
and he will seep in like a sickness, if you let him.
The shroud controls your flesh
but there is a way to keep it from controlling your mind and your heart.
How do I fight against an enemy I can't see, that I know nothing about?
A part of you is the enemy.
You have to bury the man you once were, because he's damned.
Become a new man, a better man. Only then will the shroud serve you.
Don't preach to me!
I need to know can this thing give me my body back?
It can give you any form you choose.
So you'll have your face back. What then?
I want to see my wife as I used to be. A man.
I never had the chance to tell her good-bye.
-That's all I ask. -There is a cost.
I don't give a damn!
I've already lost everything. There's nothing more to lose.
You will be vulnerable in your human form.
In time your skin will decay and you will return to the form you are now.
Are you strong enough for that?
Whatever you do, there will be consequences.
Show me, old man!
Allow the shroud to envelop you.
Here you go.
Twitch. Buddy. You're gonna make it. I told 'em you're gonna be okay.
-Back in business. -I'm sorry. Who are you?
It's me, Twitch. Sam Burke. I'm your partner.
Of course. My partner.
Cyan, child. Stay out of those chocolates...
...and get an apple like Granny told you to.
All right, Granny.
-I'll get it, Granny. -That's all right, child. I'll get it.
Who could that be?
-Yes? Can I help you? -I'm... I'm looking for Wanda Blake.
And who is this that's asking?
Just an old friend of hers back in town.
-Now, I know most of Wanda's friends. -Hi, it's me, Cyan!
I'm sorry to have bothered you.
Would you like to come in and wait for her?
No. I've made a mistake.
Please don't go.
-At least not yet, Al. -Granny?
What? You think I still wouldn't know you?
I visit your grave every Sunday
to talk to you and pray for you.
I prayed that you'd answer me in some way.
I could use a few prayers.
Just last night I had a dream
that you were in a darkened church Iookin' for the Lord.
You always did see more than the others.
It is you. You have come from Heaven, haven't you?
-An angel to watch over us. -Granny. I...
I wish I was the person you want me to be.
You've always had a good heart, Al. You just need to follow it.
The Bible says
"If you see and hear with your heart
"you'II be shown the mysteries of His kingdom."
The afterlife is not what the good book says, Granny.
Why don't you come inside?
I was wrong to come. I wanted to see Wanda. I was afraid.
-What could you be afraid of? -That I would never see her again.
Nothing can keep you and Wanda apart.
Not death, not anything.
Just wait for her, watch over her.
She'll join you in Heaven one day.
You always had faith, Granny.
You're the only one who knows I've come back.
This is my granny. She can't see.
She sees more than most.
I think Wanda knows that you are still with her. Al...
That's the sad man.
How is our patient? You just join us? Feeling okay?
I have a severe headache.
What's your name?
I'm Twitch.
I mean, what is the name on your birth certificate?
He knows his own name, Doc. Don't you, Twitch?
Maximilian... Percival Williams.
The bullet shattered on entering your skull that's the good news.
The bad news is that we couldn't remove the largest fragment.
It's in a real precarious spot,
so you'll have a little house guest for a while.
Come on Doc, stop holding our hands. Tell us what the damage is here.
You see, he suffers from edema. Until the swelling in his brain goes down
we won't know the extent of the damage.
-I'll check back later. -Yeah. You do that, Doc.
Sir, you look like you've lost some weight.
Yeah a little. You weren't around to get me do... Hey, partner! You remember me!
It's hard, sir.
My memory... It feels shattered
like a puzzle that fell to the floor.
I'm searching for the pieces.
They said if you ever did wake up, you'd be a veggie.
We got a lot of work ahead of us. You just need a lot of rest.
Help me, Sam. Don't let them put me away in some warehouse.
-I want to get this guy. -We'll get him.
What should I do with you?
I shot the bastard point blank, Wynn.
Not even the doctors have figured out how he pulled through.
Your inability to do the job has put you in a very
difficult position, Chief Banks.
We're both in a difficult position. This creature told Twitch about you.
He'll eventually put the pieces back together.
When he does, you be there.
Here he comes. I'll be close by.
I've been waiting for Wynn to step wrong.
If this information is what you say it is...
Wynn will go away.
Then your problems will go away, Mr. Fitzgerald.
Forget me. What about my family? My wife and little girl.
Mr. Sullivan, I want assurance that they'll be safe.
-I can't assure that. -What?
There is a cancer, Mr. Fitzgerald.
A cancer that has spread through the NSC all the way to the top.
My job is to destroy the enemy within,
whoever they are, wherever they hide.
Judy, what's taking so long? I want the vice president on the phone now.
Sir, l... They said he's not available.
What do you mean, he's not available?
He and I have this phone call every day.
That's what they told me, sir. I'm sorry.
Thought you should know. I was strolling through Central Park today
and there were two men talking on a park bench. Did you hear me?
Clearly. I was just thinking that a maggot like yourself...
wouldn't have the balls to fuck with me like you are...
if the two men on the bench were not a great threat to me.
Something, I'm sure, is to your advantage.
-One man was Terry Fitzgerald. -And the other man?
Vice chairman of the NSC, Richard Sullivan.
The guy who's been circling over you like a vulture.
I'll have to repay the favor some day.
Hey, Wynn. You're a free agent now. With what you know...
you just became the most dangerous man on Earth.
You got my message. Where's Cyan?
-She's at Granny's. -I told you to bring her.
She's safe there. I didn't like what I heard in your voice.
Are you telling me you needed to keep her safe from me?
I'm her daddy, remember?
Lately you scare me, and you're scaring Cyan.
Pack your bags. We'll pick up Cyan on the way.
What's going on? You've been gone two days.
You don't even tell me where you've been.
By morning Jason Wynn will no longer be the director of the NSC.
He'll be brought up on charges of treason.
When he realizes I was the one who dropped the dime on him
he'll come after me.
We can't stay here any longer, Wanda. We have to go.
And start all over? No. There are laws in this country
Laws? Are you serious?
You really believe being a lawyer is gonna protect us?
Wanda, Listen to me.
Wynn has people everywhere. We can't stay here any longer.
This is my home. I won't be driven out.
You're right, Wanda. I'm the one who's the target.
Terry, wait. Where are you going?
-It's better if you don't know. -Terry, please. Don't go.
It's a Chief Banks. He insists on talking to you.
I don't know a Chief Banks.
It's the New York Times. They'd like a statement about the allegations.
I'm not here. Judy.
Have my car pulled up in back.
-Where is he? -He's out of the office.
Hey, what do you think you're doing?
-I'm sorry, Wanda. -I'm glad you came back.
What is it? What's wrong?
I don't know. For just a moment I thought... I saw...
I will always keep you safe. I love you, Wanda.
I'm looking for a man. I wonder if you could help me.
Hey, how 'bout me, baby?
He wears a red shroud.
You're the only one beside him who ever called it a shroud.
-Where is he? -Who is it that seeks the shroud?
-Jade. -There's stíII a price...
on your head, hellspawn.
You were the only hellspawn to escape me.
As you can see I gave up my shroud.
I live now as a human lives. I live in fear.
Tell the new hellspawn I'm coming for him.
Terry? Terry?
-I know you're there. -I have no place else to go.
There is someone else who hunts you.
-She is a celestial warrior. -What are you talking about?
A bounty hunter sent by the celestial masters.
She was the iron mistress of Genghis Khan.
I'm not interested in a hlstory lesson, old man.
You should be...
because he also sent souls to Malebolgia. Millions of them!
He slaughtered innocent women and children.
-You look a little spooked. -She hunted me as well.
You feared a woman.
These spawns long before you,
they thought she was weak, too, because she was a woman.
I tried to warn the others also. They didn't listen either.
-That's the skull of Genghis Khan. -I'm not like him.
Is there no blood on your hands, hellspawn?
Heaven has sent their bounty hunter. Now she wants your head.
Then let her come.
