The Cloth Page #2

with a religious explanation.

Are you paying attention,

Mr. Pafford?

Okay, wow.

You used my government name.

So, yeah...

Clergy, holy war, demons...

So did you know they have an

amphibious double-inhabited thingy,

girl, underneath the church?

Is everything

just a game to you?

For the past few days,

we've had over 100 requests

for paranormal assistance,

alone.

Why do you think that is?

Uh, people are all

crazy as hell?

Look, listen...

This is all new to me, okay?

Just a few hours ago, I was watching

the man I hate most in this world

get off for killing my family.

Please, just...

I'm sorry about your family.

No, it's fine.

So what do I need to know?

Kasdeya,

the fifth Satan, according

to the Book of Enoch,

which is found

in the over 14 books

of the Apocrypha, and omitted

from the final version

you've come to know.

Kasdeya appears in human form,

as the gateway key to pave

the way for the arrival

of Beelzebub himself.

According to the records,

he was once responsible

for tempting men

into turning their backs

against God,

and then bringing them forward

for judgment.

The Cloth's main objective

is to seek and destroy

those that would do harm to

the balance of good and evil

from within...

...the only place a battle can

truly be waged amongst men.

Nybass provides us

with the locations

of all paranormal insights

and demon leaders

that may have entered

our realm.

Before her, we relied

upon word of mouth,

and it limited

our effectiveness.

Her insights guide us

from location to location

as we attempt

to enforce the pact.

Once a person

has become possessed,

their soul no longer exists

in this realm.

Once Kasdeya arrives,

he has seven days before he

must return to his realm.

It is very important that he doesn't

take any lost souls with him.

Ephpheta, quod est, adaperire.

Be open.

Credis in jesum

christum filium eju unicum,

dominum nostrum,

natum et pasum?

I believe.

Pax tibi.

Where do we stand

on the boy, Father?

Father Tollman,

I have come to ask you

for permission

to begin the sacrament.

The sacrament takes years

of dedication and devotion.

It's not something

to be expedited.

Your concerns are noted.

Father Diekmen,

are you certain he is the one?

We have other

worthy candidates...

...all of whom

are strong in the faith.

I understand your reluctance,

but I knew his father,

and he believed in me.

And I see the same devotion,

deep down inside of him.

He's survived this long

without our help.

Imagine if he realizes

his full potential.

Hm.

There have been an increase in

activity over the past few days.

We have reason to believe

Kasdeya has arrived.

Then we don't have much time.

Stopping Kasdeya

is our top priority.

You only have seven days.

Pax tibi.

Pax tibi.

So, basically you're using a form

of prayer to keep Nybass contained.

Nybass is very imperative

to the operation.

To gain that much insight...

...has enhance our understanding

into the demonic realm.

You ever get away

from this place?

My beliefs come before

my own personal desires.

In short...

...I'm here for God.

That explains it.

What, exactly?

Why you're so uptight.

You gotta get

out, live a little.

All this demonic talk could

drive a person crazy, you know?

Look, I say

we grab a drink later..

Mr. Pafford...

We are all here on our

own personal journey.

But more importantly,

we are here for something

bigger than our own ideals.

Then you're more of a prisoner

than Nybass will ever be.

What's the point in all this

'saving the world' talk

if you can't even

feel alive in it?

Everyone dies, Laurel.

Not everyone lives.

Jason.

It is time.

What is it?

This belonged to your father.

It's time you met Helix.

Looks like you need to take those

things back to the drawing board.

The power of God is strong,

my friend.

Very strong.

I call this one

"The Judge."

Helix is our

weapons specialist.

And quality control

for the communion wine.

You must be Jason.

Helix, we don't have much time.

The sacrament

has already begun.

What, this early?

But... he doesn't look like he

could take Laurel in a fight.

No offense.

Why wasn't I told?

How come I'm always

the last one to know

about anything

that goes on around here?

Nice robe, by the way, Laurel.

It looks fantastic.

You need to give him

a crash course.

Crash course.

Hm.

Okay.

Somebody slap me

with the devil's nut sack.

You think I can just sum up

everything there is to know

about what we do here

in a couple of hours?

Yes.

I'll see what I can do.

Your armor...

...is said to have been blessed

by the Seven Archangels,

and passed down to Pope

Saint Gregory the First.

It's essential in dealing

with otherworldly figures.

All the metal we use

in our weaponry and armor

was found inside

the Ark of the Covenant.

You still talking about

this Friar Tuck outfit?

The bullets burst

into projectile form.

And the combustion chamber

consists of holy water

and a fusion liquid

that's been manufactured

beneath the church,

which is why

we're located here.

Isn't it, Dieks?

Why else am I never

allowed out of this...

...urban paradise?

Your armor doesn't allow

for friendly fire,

which is lucky, because

Diekmen's a terrible shot.

It's also why you're not

an ashy pile of goo

and how you'll be able

to defend yourself from...

...any attack

from a demonic creature

that's dwelling in our realm.

While they might

have certain abilities...

...telekinesis,

superior strength...

...there are limits.

It's a consequence

of their human counterparts.

Even Kasdeya has weaknesses.

Your job is to find them.

Exploit them.

Gabriel...

...one of my

personal favorites,

is used on more...

...ethereal creatures.

The Uriel...

...is effective

at close range.

The choice of weapon

will depend upon

the level of demon

that possesses your victim.

Uh..

Your bloodline

will allow you to wield

certain weapons that we're

no longer able to operate,

due the recent passing

of... your...

Um.

Yeah, well...

Holy water and crosses

are still the essential tools.

Let's not forget the basics.

Wouldn't dream of it.

But, never forget...

...ye who wields

the mightiest weapon.

Those little babies

are called holy grenades.

Yeah...

Well...

...holy water

explodes on impact, so...

...be careful with those.

Got a lot

of other weapons that...

Well, they're not

what you'd call functional.

But they are street ready.

Unfortunately, Dick-men...

...won't let me

show them to you.

Helix...

...you're meant to

aid our members...

...not injure them.

I'm afraid she's right.

We need to stick to the basics.

- I'll just take that bad boy right there...

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

That's not for you.

Then what do I get?

Here you go.

What am I supposed

to do with this?

You'll figure it out.

If I pull this out on a demon,

he's gonna think

I'm disrespecting him.

This damn little thing is
