The Cloth Page #4

"Be open."

That's it.

I can't begin to understand

your relationship

with your father.

But I do know

that he devoted his life

to our cause.

Lot of good his work did.

World's gonna end, anyway.

Everyone dies, Jason,

but not everyone lives.

Look, Father Diekmen needs you.

Father Dean was attacked

by Kasdeya

in his church up north.

- How's that possible?

- I don't know.

But I'm not naive enough to believe

that everyone is playing by the rules.

Father Dean was rumored

to be taking bribes

in exchange for assistance

in dealing with the paranormal.

Corruption in the church?

Go figure.

There's no such thing as

corruption in the church, Jason.

The only church

that has ever existed

lies within.

Father Dean was found

with over 3,000 coins...

...lodged in his digestive

system and main arteries.

Sounds like maybe Kasdeya's

not such a bad guy after all.

Hell is coming to Earth.

And you're too busy living

in your own to even notice.

I don't even know why I thought

that coming here

would make a difference.

And you can't forgive Eddie

because deep down,

you were the one

driving that truck.

I thought you needed my help.

We'll do it without you.

What happened to being open?

232 South Pike Boulevard.

Eddie?

Eddie?

Look, I don't mean to intrude,

the door was open.

Well, I just wanted to come

down here and tell you

I've been doing a lot of

thinking about what happened.

And, you know, I went

down to the courthouse

and got your address, so I just

wanted to tell you officially that...

Eddie?

Oh, you gotta be shitting me!

How was the house call?

It was hell.

Where do we stand?

We have Kasdeya's location.

He's being held up in a

spot called Dante's.

And that's not the best part.

Apparently tonight

is a special night.

And not just because

ladies get in for free,

but because...

it's the last day.

If he's in a stationary

position like this,

we believe he may have

all the souls he needs

to have Beelzebub pass over.

Which means

it's up to us to stop him.

Gear's on the table.

Your father had the same

look of determination.

The same fire.

I remember the last time

I saw his face.

He was holding a possessed

girl in his clutches,

not wanting to turn her

over to the order.

Why didn't he want

to give her up?

Your father had the ability

to see the good in everyone.

And on that day...

...he saw the good

in Laurel.

Father Tollman had never seen anyone

recover from such a strong possession,

and he deemed it necessary

to terminate the child.

But your father felt otherwise.

As I lay there in his arms,

my mind and soul being torn

into two separate identities,

he looked at me and said,

the battle between

good and evil

will be won in the only place

it has ever been waged...

...from within.

Ephpheta, quod est, adaperire.

Be open.

As much as I hate to be the

one to break up this...

...tender moment,

you've got until

the stroke of midnight,

or the crossover begins.

Weapon up, Jason.

Right.

As much as I appreciate your

dedication to the smaller things...

I believe a little more of the

good Lord's grace is in order.

Amen, Father.

Amen!

Give 'em hell.

It's gonna be alright.

Just keep some pressure on it.

Be open, Jason.

She's more important

than you know.

- No...

- You must protect her.

You are the way.

Valiant and noble effort,

human.

You'd do well in my legion.

Exorcizo te,

omnis spiritus immunde,

in nomine dei patris

omnipotentis

et in noimine jesu christi filii

ejus, domini et judicis nostri,

et in virtute spiritus ut

discedas ab hoc pasmate Dei!

It's a little

late for that, don't you think?

Thought I'd give it a shot.

I really must thank you.

Jason.

You had no clue

what this was all about.

And yet, here you are,

providing us with the very

thing we needed all along.

Be open, Jason.

Eventually we will get to you.

Just like we did Eddie.

Not once, but twice.

And I can't wait to taste

that sweet, sweet Laurel.

She...

...is the key.

You left her in the

hands of one of us.

How's it feel knowing

that everyone you love

will soon be serving

my master on Earth?

Or, should I say...

...in Hell?

Ego te baptizo in nomine patris

et filii et spiritus sancti.

You...

...will...

...fail!

Nybass?

I need to ask you a question.

Laurel.

How did I break free

from your spell?

You have one of your own

to thank for that.

Tu autem effugare, diabole...

...tu autem...

Save your useless prayer.

For years you let me

rot in this prison.

You knew it was you

I wanted all along.

You are the way.

With you, we shall be free

to rule this realm.

Where's Father Diekmen?

Oh.

I see.

We got there

and they hit us hard.

There should have been

more of us.

Where's Laurel?

Helix?

She's been taken.

By who?

Nybass.

Nybass is planning

on completing the crossover.

And she's gonna use Laurel

as the final gateway.

We killed Kasdeya,

how is that possible?

Kasdeya was just a distraction.

You gave Laurel up

to be sacrificed.

God don't like ugly.

Do you wanna tell me

what's going on?

Yeah, Father Tollman

gave Laurel up

for the emergence

of the dark Lord.

Is this thing ready?

It's as ready

as it's gonna get.

I need these.

Okay, I don't think you're in the

right state of thinking, right now.

You're going up against Nybass.

Not only that, you're

going behind enemy lines.

The crossover has begun

as we speak.

Yeah, well, I always wanted to

expand my spiritual horizons.

But you don't even know

where she is.

- I'll figure it out.

- Wait.

Just a second...

You don't really understand

what you're going up against.

I really think we need to plan.

Okay.

Okay?

Yeah, okay.

We need a plan.

Good, 'cause,

for a second there,

I thought you were going

to do something really...

Hello, Eddie.

Soon

Beelzebub will be upon you.

Maybe.

Not until you tell me

what I want to know.

I'll tell you nothing.

I'm gonna ask this, one time

nice, and one time naughty.

Where will they

make the sacrifice?

What do you know? Somebody

put holy water in my gun.

Where did they take her?

They took her

back to where it all began.

But you're too late.

I got some good news.

I'm not gonna kill ya.

Hold on to this for me,

will ya?

Do you think this is the life

he would have wanted for you?

At some point, Jason,

you are gonna have to

take control of your life.

It's what your father

would have wanted.

This isn't the lab.

Though not quite as much as when you

dragged me up to the roof of the church.

I...

Oh, for Heaven's sake.

Lord, show me the way.

That didn't work.

There are more layers

to the context of men,

and so must there be to the

context of good and evil.

I am the way, you are the way.

Father...

Help me.

How'd you get down here?

I serve the church.

It was only a matter of time before

I found out about this place.

The crossover, it's complete.

Are there any others?

The new trainees

and the recruits

started disappearing
