Spawn

WOULD YOU KNOW THE DEVIL IF YOU SAW HIM ?

WOULD YOU KNOW HIS FACE, HIS EYES ?

WOULD YOU FEEL CHILLED IN HIS PRESENCE ?

OR DO YOU THINK HE'S SOME NAKED RED GUY

WITH HORNS AND A GOATEE AND A TAIL ?

I'M TODD McFARLANE, CREATOR OF "SPAWN".

TRUE EVIL IS NEVER WHAT OR WHO YOU EXPECT.

SOMETIMES IT'S GROTESQUE, SOMETIMES IT'S BEAUTIFUL,

SOMETIMES IT'S A MOBSTER OR A PRIEST,

EVEN THE ICE CREAM MAN.

FOR ALL YOU KNOW, I COULD BE TRUE EVIL.

SCARY, HUH ?

MOST OF ALL, TRUE EVIL WHISPERS WHAT WE WANNA HEAR,

AND WHEN IT SHOWS ITS UGLY FACE,

IT TELLS US TO DO NOTHING.

AND THAT'S WHERE WE FIND SPAWN,

SITTING IN THE SHADOWS DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

WHAT YOU GOT THERE IS BIG.

A LATENT PRINT OFF THE GIRL'S EYEBALL.

KYLE WATSON WAS SET UP TO TAKE THE FALL

FOR THOSE CHILD MURDERS.

THIS SON-OF-A-BITCH WAS PURPOSELY MISFILED,

VAULTED AND BURIED.

WHY ARE YOU FOLLOWING HER ?!

I WANT ANSWERS, NOW !

A GUY FALLS OUT OF A TREE,

THEN BLOWS HIS BRAINS OUT,

FOR WHAT ?

THIS PHOTOGRAPHER'S FROM WASHINGTON D.C.

FOR THE U.S. GOVERNMENT.

WE LOST A LARGE NUMBER OF WEAPONS

FROM THAT ORDNANCE ANNEX A WEEK AGO.

WHO COULD'VE DONE THIS ?

IT MAY HAVE BEEN AN INSIDE JOB SIR.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ?

IT'S HERE IN MY REPORT.

GODAMN BOY SCOUT !

THE LAST THING I NEED IS HIM TURNING HEADS

BY TALKING TO SOMEONE.

WE GOT SOME HEAVY DUTY SHIT HERE.

AND I NEED THAT DISK.

I'M GONNA TRY AND ACCESS THE GOVERNMENT'S DATABASE

AND BREAK IN TO THEIR SYSTEM TO FIND OUT WHO FRAMED WATSON.

SOMEONE WITH POWER IS PROTECTING A CHILD KILLER.

I NEED TO FIND OUT WHO !

AND NOW "SPAWN", SO TURN OFF YOUR LIGHTS.

WARRIORS CAN FEEL FORCES MASSING AGAINST THEM.

THE AGONIZING WAIT FOR BATTLE

BECOMES A WAY OF LIFE.

TURNING AND TWISTING THEIR DARK SOULS.

FEEDING TENSE RAGE

THAT BOILS DEEP IN EVERY HELL SPAWN.

A RAGE OF THE UNFAIRNESS OF THEIR PLIGHT

AND A FEELING STILL DEEPER,

THAT THEY'VE EARNED IT.

ALL UNITS RESPOND TO KIDNAP,

MADISON AND 43rd STREET.

WHO IS THIS FREAK ?

WITNESSES FIGURE HIM FOR SOME KIND OF

WHACKED OUT STREET PREACHER.

COULD BE THAT CHILD KILLER HOMICIDE'S BEEN HUNTING.

WELL, WHOEVER THE BASTARD IS HE'S DEAD.

HE JUST DOESN'T KNOW IT YET.

Suspect holding possible kidnap victim...

GOT THAT RIGHT.

DID I SAY I WAS GONNA KILL ANYBODY ?

NO, I NEVER SAID THAT.

NOW I MAY HAVE DONE THAT...

BUT I NEVER SAID I WAS GONNA KILL ANYBODY.

SEE, SAYING AND DOING

ARE TWO VERY DIFFERENT THINGS.

DON'T YOU THINK ?

NOW, YOU WOULDN'T JUST BE SAYING THAT

'CAUSE I GOT THIS GRENADE IN MY HANDS.

THIS GUY'S NUTS.

KILLING KIDS,

THAT'S ABOUT CATCHING THE INNOCENCE, YOU KNOW ?

LIFE, DEATH, GOOD, EVIL, IT'S ALL RIGHT HERE !

WINDOWS TO THE SOUL, BOYS.

TAKE A PEEK, SEE THE PARTY ?

YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD THEM, NO SIRENS !

OH SHIT !

HOLY SHIT !

WHAT... NO APPLAUSE ?!

NO APPRECIATION !

WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO ?!

YOU KNOW SOMETHING ?

I HATE THAT !

IF YOU LIKE THOSE HANDS,

I SUGGEST YOU PUT THEM IN YOUR POCKET

OR YOUR PANTS OR WHEREVER !

JUST GET THEM OUT OF MY FACE !

AHH !

ADAM !

I KNOW YOU CAN'T HEAR ME BUT I DON'T GIVE A SHIT !

GET YOUR PUNY LITTLE ASS OUT HERE, NOW !!

OH, SOMEBODY ELSE WANNA PLAY ?

HOW'S ABOUT A QUICK GAME OF CATCH ?

C'MON, WHAT DO YOU SAY ?

LET'S GO, KID.

GUESS THE RATS WOULD RATHER PLAY WITH THEMSELVES.

... officers down,

suspect went southbound through alley,

requesting help.

SHIT, THERE MAN, WE GOT HIM !

RADIO FOR BACKUP THEN SWING AROUND THE SOUTH END.

SUSPECT SIGHTED, OFFICER IN PURSUIT.

REQUEST IMMEDIATE BACKUP.

All units stand-by.

Officers requesting backup for kidnap suspect.

WE GOT THIS ASSHOLE !

WE'RE 20, MADISON AND 43rd STREET.

BOTTOM'S UP...

BIG GUY !

AHHH !

JESUS, GOD !

OFFICER DOWN, REPEAT OFFICER DOWN !

GOD !

Requesting help, officer down, officer down.

Madison and 43rd street.

6-Adam-15 come in, 6-Adam-15 come in !

What's your location ?

OH, AL.

I LOVE YOU, WANDA.

MAYBE IT'S TIME WE START THINKING ABOUT

HAVING A REAL FAMILY.

AHH !

MOMMY !

CYAN !

HOLY CHRIST !

C'MON YOU WORTHLESS, COCKSUCKER !

TRY TO BLOW ME UP, YOU SON-OF-A-BITCH !

I'LL KILL YOU... COME ON !!

WHERE IS HE ?

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, WHERE'S WHO ?

LISTEN ASSHOLE, I'M NOT IN THE FUCKING MOOD !

YOUR PREACHER FRIEND, HE WAS DRAGGING A BOY.

I CAN'T HELP YOU, I DIDN'T SEE ANY...

I SWEAR TO GOD, I DON'T KNOW NOTHING !

PLEASE.

I TOLD YOU I WANT SOME GODAMN ANSWERS

AND I WANT THEM RIGHT NOW !

IS THIS HOW YOU PROTECT AND SERVE ?

SHIT !

I CLOCKED HIM, I KNOW IT.

BACK OFF, SHIT-FACE !

I'LL DO YOUR PAL.

WHO MADE YOU GOD, LITTLE MAN ?

NOT THAT GUN, NOT THAT UNIFORM.

NOTHING.

YOU WANT TO SCARE PEOPLE, FINE.

I NEED A SCARECROW.

YOU'RE GONNA BE MY PERSONAL MESSAGE BOARD.

I WANT EVERYONE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS

WHEN THEY COME HERE UNINVITED.

NOW ISN'T THIS A DELICIOUS LITTLE SITUATION ?

YOU KNOW, PEOPLE REALLY

SHOULD FINISH WHAT THEY START.

AHH !

BUT I SAY TO YOU,

FAIR IS FAIR AND THAT'S AMERICAN.

THE REASON THIS BILL IS SO CONTROVERSIAL,

IS BECAUSE IT'S NOT CONCERNED WITH THE BOTTOM LINE.

IT'S CONCERNED WITH THE FAMILY,

WHICH IS THE BACKBONE OF THIS COUNTRY.

WE MUST TAKE A STAND AND IF SUCCESSFUL,

IT WILL ENABLE US TO THRIVE AS THE GREATEST COUNTRY

IN THE WORLD.

THANK YOU.

SENATOR, SENATOR, SENATOR...

ARE YOU SAYING THAT YOU WILL VOTE FOR

THE FAMILY RELIEF BILL TODAY,

IN SPITE OF SOME OF THE RESISTANCE FROM CAPITAL HILL ?

YOU HEARD MY SPEECH.

I'M NOT HERE TO FIGHT THE SENATE, MA'AM.

I'M HERE TO HELP AMERICA.

THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.

SENATOR, ONE MORE QUESTION...

THANKS EVERYONE.

NOW, LET'S GET SOME REAL FOOD.

YEAH.

Ignoring my calls is not a smart idea.

RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT

IS NOT LIKE WORKING FOR THE POST OFFICE,

I HAVE OBLIGATIONS.

LISTEN TO ME VERY CAREFULLY, SENATOR.

YOUR EVERY STEP, EVERY THOUGHT, EVERY BREATH,

IS TO BE CLEARED THROUGH ME, IS THAT UNDERSTOOD ?

YOU COMPROMISED BOTH OUR POSITIONS.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ?

THAT BILL HAS SEVERAL AMENDMENTS TACKED TO IT

THAT WORK AGAINST MY INTERESTS.

I'll get them severed,

THAT WAY I CAN PRESERVE MY STANCE.

NO, UNLIKE ME, YOU DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF POWER.

These cutbacks are locked in

so the entire bill must fail.

NOW, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO PULL IN SOME FAVORS

TO NEGATE YOUR VOTE

and save you from looking like a fool.
