Dead Again in Tombstone Page #3

---

I'm counting on you.

Oh, no.

No!

Don't leave me.

No!

Jackson, what are you trying to find?

It's a goddamn book.

Tell me more about this book.

It is everything.

It'll awaken me from this death spiral.

I'll... I'll be able to control the world,

raise the dead.

I will be able to exact my revenge.

And you have no doubt?

Oh.

Long time ago, way down south in Mexico,

there was a Day of the Dead like no other,

and that was before this book

was secreted away.

And if I find this book?

Well...

If you find this book,

then I will take you to hell and back.

That sounds wonderful.

You brought this evil here, Guerrero.

I'm sorry, Alicia.

Sorry?

The road to hell is paved

with regret and reproach.

But you know that.

You've been traveling that road.

You have to leave this town.

And go where?

This is my home.

I...

I can't have your blood on my hands.

God damn you.

God damn you, Guerrero.

When your mother died,

I was so full of anger

that I knew I had to leave

or... or... Or ruin both of us, you and me.

I'm so sorry, mi hijita.

Give me another chance.

Give me...

I can take care of myself.

Maybe I need you.

That's hard to imagine.

So what's this all about, Doc?

Follow me.

Let's go.

Now, watch yourself.

Oh, my God.

It's the bone box.

Yeah.

Whoa.

Whoa.

This is what everybody's dyin' over?

It's called the Codex Dameonium.

Latin for "the Devil's Book."

It reveals the most powerful rituals

and practices for Devil worshippers.

Now, if Jackson Boomer

were to possess this tome...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we get it.

Some bad sh*t would happen.

So why don't we just destroy it?

Believe me, people have tried. I've tried.

But just as the Devil himself

can't be completely eradicated,

these pages are indestructible.

Hmm. Oh, yeah?

Nothin'.

This book is a blueprint

on how to unleash hell on earth.

How'd it end up here?

Conquistadors brought it to the Americas.

It was in Oaxaca with the church

officials for centuries.

Then it fell into the wrong hands.

Whoa!

What's this?

Soldiers.

To add to our corps.

Now...

All we need is the book.

Come on. Let's go, boys.

Hyah!

This sure looks like the hell I know.

Well, now, we thought that this would be

a good place to keep it hidden, but now...

It's only a matter of time before Jackson

finds this chamber and the book.

We need to get it someplace safe.

Back to Mexico.

Back to Oaxaca, with the church officials.

They'll know what to do with it.

Ten feet away.

She's dead.

Kind people of Silver River,

behold your possible future, should we

not acquire what it is we pursue.

I sure hope you assist us in the matter.

Let this be the final

declaration on the issue.

Ladies and gentlemen, good day.

This here's the package we discussed.

You want it taken to Mexico?

Yes, sir.

Doesn't look like too much trouble.

We'll do it.

Good luck, son.

Ha! Ha! Ho! Yah!

Hey! Ho! Yah! Yah!

Guerrero's daughter's leaving town.

Stagecoach has the book, heading south.

That coward's trying to keep

his daughter out of harm's way.

Rouse the men and catch up with that coach.

I want the book.

Yes, Colonel.

Boys, let's go.

Stop right there!

You wouldn't kill an unarmed man, would ya?

Oh, I would.

Yah!

Oh, sh*t!

Is anyone in there?

Give me the strongbox.

Get the strongbox.

- It's stuck!

- We need some dynamite, Colonel.

Open it.

Leave it to me.

Come on.

You placed this dynamite.

I would be lying if I said

I was not concerned

over the amount of dynamite

with which you have used on this day.

Whoo!

I hope there's a strongbox left.

I question your sanity from time

to time, Mr. Cravens.

Here it is, right here.

Can I get some help here?

There it is. It's still intact.

Easy. Easy, fellas. Easy, easy.

Oh, and there it is. Oh, yes.

Easy.

There it is.

It's a decoy.

Why, that sneaky son of a b*tch.

His daughter, Alicia.

She's riding alone, southbound.

- Go track her down.

- Yes, sir.

Bring her and everything

she has with her to Silver River.

We'll get it.

So it takes a little longer.

We'll get it.

Yah!

Bad girl.

Put him here.

Come on now.

- Doc, he's dead.

- Get out.

Go on.

Colonel.

- Colonel, we...

- What?

You better come take a look.

Again?

What?

Who are you really?

Colonel.

Look what I found.

- Take her to Pinky's.

- Yes, sir.

Oh.

Oh, Mr. Cravens,

if this is what I think it is...

Oh, it is.

It's the book.

And it's written in Latin.

Like I suspected.

We must read this at once.

Let us go. Let us go.

You are more than just an outlaw, Guerrero.

You inherited your father's strength

the Devil tried to subvert.

And we need you here, now,

to save us all.

What's in that magic potion, Doc?

Holy water.

Holy water?

Well, that and a bit of morphine.

May cause some hallucinations.

A lot more than just holy water

and some elixirs in your healing, Doc.

Well, now, many doctors will agree

that faith plays a large part

in all healing, Guerrero.

More the choices you make

to get further from the Devil...

Well, now, they'll make you more human.

The more human I get,

the more vulnerable I get.

Doc, Jackson's got Alicia.

This book has the secret knowledge

of the mystical.

You got what you want.

Now, get on your horse and go.

The Horn of Lucifer.

"Those who possess this relic

"shall be capable of unleashing

the power of hell on earth."

A magnificent prophecy.

What's it mean, Colonel?

It means that this book

is nothing more than a set

of instructions for a relic!

Where is this Horn of Lucifer?

Far from here.

I don't believe you.

Hell, no.

Now, I'm gonna ask you one last time

before I take your hand

as a personal keepsake.

Where is the Horn?

I really don't know.

She doesn't know.

What?

I can see more than most.

I can see what the truth is and what's lies.

May I?

Easy. Easy.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

Now...

Where was the book hidden?

The church. Why?

Well, then we start at the church.

Well, now.

Tear this place apart!

I want to find where the book was.

We're gonna find this relic.

Do you have a plan?

Yeah.

I'm gonna walk in there,

kill everybody, get my daughter out.

That's not a plan.

That sounds like some wrath-of-God

Old Testament thinkin'.

Goddamn right.

You got anything goes "bang"?

No.

Here. You might need this.

I don't kill.

Why'd I bring you, Doc?

Well, you didn't have much of a choice now.

I'm here to have your back,

just like I did your mother and father.

You're too young to know my father.

I'm not as young as I look.

There's something you should know.

I didn't tell you 'cause I didn't think

you'd make the right choice.

I didn't tell you everything.

Well, have to wait.

We got other business to take care of now.

It's impossible. He was dead. Twice.

Well, some men are more dead than others.

You have more lives than a cat, Guerrero.

And you're gonna die like a dog in a ditch

if you don't release my daughter.

Why would I do that when you

still have what I need?
