Spawn

DO YOU BELIEVE IN CAUSE AND EFFECT ?

DROP A GLASS, THE GLASS BREAKS,

STRIKE A MATCH AND A FIRE STARTS.

DO THE THINGS WE DO IN THIS LIFE

SCREW YOU IN THE ONE THAT COMES AFTER ?

I THINK SO.

SPAWN'S LEARNING THAT LITTLE LESSON TOO.

OH, HE'D LIKE TO MAKE IT ALL GO AWAY SOMEHOW,

PULL OUT, HIDE, SLEEP IT OFF,

BUT HE MADE HIS DEAL WITH THE DEVIL,

AND NOW THE DOMINOES ARE ALREADY CRASHING DOWN.

AND HE'S GOT NOBODY TO BLAME BUT HIMSELF.

AND ME.

I'M TODD McFARLANE, AND I CREATED SPAWN.

TELL ME YOU'RE NOT THE GUY WHO TOOK OUT TONY'S MEN !

OVERKILL, SON-OF-A-BITCH !

THAT HE WAS.

Asked to possibly re-open

the Kyle Watson child-killer case,

in light of what was termed a blatant oversight by the police,

defense attorney Wanda Blake

is responsible for this latest revelation.

I DIDN'T DO NOTHIN', I BEEN A GOOD BOY.

YOU HAVE ENTERED A RESTRICTED STORAGE FACILITY.

COME OUT WITH HANDS HIGH OR WE WILL OPEN FIRE.

FIRE !

WHEN ARE YOU COMIN' TO BED ?

I LOVE YOU WANDA.

Looks like police are gonna cut child-killer Kyle Watson

loose after all.

Thanks to his attorney Wanda Blake,

independent investigators have found that

evidence in the case may actually have been planted.

AND NOW SPAWN, SO TURN OFF YOUR LIGHTS.

AHHH !

HE WAITS, AS THEY ALL DO,

FOR A SIGN, A WARNING,

SOMETHING TO SET EVENTS IN MOTION.

FEW WARRIORS REALIZE

THAT THE BATTLE BETWEEN HEAVEN AND HELL

IS CONSTANT, ON-GOING, INCIDENT AFTER INCIDENT.

PART OF AN UNENDING CHAIN.

"THE DOMINO PRINCIPLE",

THAT'S WHAT SCIENTISTS CALL IT.

ONE THING HAPPENS THAT TRIGGERS ANOTHER

AND ANOTHER AND ANOTHER.

AND IN THE END,

ALL WILL BE REVEALED,

NO MATTER HOW WONDERFUL OR HIDEOUS THE RESULT.

MR. TWIST, I JUST WANT TO SAY YOU CAN COUNT ON ME, OKAY ?

WHATEVER IT IS YOU NEED, YOU GOT.

RIGHT NOW I NEED YOU TO SHUT UP AND LISTEN.

THIS IS IMPORTANT OKAY, ARE YOU LISTENING ?

YEAH, MR. TWIST.

YOU'RE ON A FLIGHT TO ROME IN AN HOUR.

GO STRAIGHT TO THE MAN.

YOU KNOW WHO I'M TALKING ABOUT ?

YES, MR. TWIST.

YOU PROSTRATE YOURSELF BEFORE HIM, UNDERSTAND ?

YOU TELL HIM IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS

THAT WE ARE VERY, VERY SORRY

ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO OVERKILL.

WE SCREWED UP, WE WILL PAY FOR HIS REPAIR.

YOU GOT THAT ?

YES, MR. TWIST.

YOU'RE SPEAKIN' FOR ME ON THIS ONE, CONSTELLANO.

YOU BEG HIS FORGIVENESS.

GET ON YOUR KNEES, KISS HIS ASS, HIS BALLS,

WHATEVER HE NEEDS FOR THIS TO BE ALRIGHT.

I UNDERSTAND.

WE GOT OUR TITS IN A FUCKING RINGER ON THIS !

WE DON'T NEED TROUBLE FROM ROME.

TELL HIM WE'LL FIX IT ALL ON OUR END.

DONE DEAL, OKAY.

DON'T WORRY, MR. TWIST, I GOT IT COVERED.

GET GOING.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS CRAP'S BEEN GOING ON WITHOUT ME.

HEY SWEETIE, DIDN'T I SEE YOU IN A MAGAZINE ?

GOT A BOYFRIEND, "BEAVER" TREAT ?

SOMEBODY TO LICK AWAY YOUR DAY ?

I CAN DO THAT FOR YOU, BABY.

YOU WANT ME TO SHOW YOU ?

YEAH, SHOW ME.

IT'S A "BIG CITY GIRL" DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

YOU A BIG CITY GIRL, BABY ?

GOOD HUNTING'S WHERE YOU FIND IT.

HUNTING ?

WE GOT OURSELVES SOME KIND OF SPORTS BABE.

SORRY ABOUT THIS.

OH, DON'T APOLOGIZE BABY, IT'S ALL OUR FAULT.

BUT IT'S GONNA BE FUN, FOR US.

I DON'T THINK SO.

LOOK WHO IT IS.

WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE ?

HEY, YOU CAN'T...

I KNOW SHE'S IN AND SHE'S GONNA SEE ME.

HOW DARE YOU BURST INTO MY OFFICE LIKE THIS ?

WHY WASN'T I CALLED ABOUT THE HELL SPAWN ?

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ?

YOU'VE HAD ME DELIBERATELY TAKING OUT OF THE LOOP.

ANGELA, REALLY.

SAVE IT GABRIELLE, HE'S MINE.

YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY HUNTER IN THE UNIVERSE, ANGELA.

I'VE TAKEN OUT THE LAST TWO HELL SPAWNS

AND I WANT THIS ONE !

YOU REALIZE IT'S THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR

THAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO TRUST YOU.

IF THERE'S ONE THING I DO WELL, IT'S HUNT.

A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T LIKE THAT,

INCLUDING YOU,

BUT THAT'S NOT GONNA STOP ME.

GO THROUGH THE PROPER CHANNELS.

THOSE CHANNELS LEAD TO YOU.

I'M RE.

I'M TALKING TO YOU, AMBASSADOR.

WHAT ABOUT THE PERMIT ?

DENIED.

HOW LONG ARE YOU GONNA HAVE IT IN FOR ME, GABBY ?

A CENTURY, TWO ?

FOLLOW APPROPRIATE PROTOCOL AND MAYBE,

I'LL RECONSIDER.

JUST TRY AND KEEP ME OUT OF THIS, GABBY.

GOODBYE, ANGELA.

HEY, LET THE LITTLE GUYS HAVE SOME !

ALWAYS PULLING FOR THE UNDERDOG, EH WANDA ?

YOU KNOW ME... SO WHAT DO YOU GOT ?

YOU GOT IT ?

TOOK SOME ARM TWISTING AND GREASING MORE PALMS

THAN YOU'LL FIND IN A TIMES SQUARE PEEP SHOW,

BUT YEAH, I GOT IT.

I STILL GOT SOME FRIENDS ON THE FORCE,

BUT THIS SHIT'S LIKE EBOLA--

NOBODY WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.

NOT HERE.

I DON'T MEAN TO SOUND PARANOID,

BUT WHAT YOU GOT THERE IS BIG.

HOW BIG, MAX ?

RAW EVIDENCE FROM THE LAST KID.

UNCUT, UNEDITED.

AND A LATENT PRINT OFF THE LITTLE GIRL'S EYEBALL.

CLEAR AS CHRISTMAS.

AN ACTUAL FINGERPRINT ?

DONE FROM THE LEFT HAND OF YOUR PERP.

NOT WATSON'S ?

NO, THIS PRINT BELONGS TO YOUR KILLER.

I WAS RIGHT.

KYLE WATSON WAS SET UP

TO TAKE THE FALL FOR THOSE CHILD MURDERS.

THIS PROVES IT.

I THINK YOU WANT TO SAVE THE CHAMPAGNE.

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

VAULTED AND BURIED.

ARE WE TALKING ABOUT A CONSPIRACY

INSIDE THE POLICE ?

I THINK MAYBE IT GOES BEYOND THAT, WANDA.

SOMEONE'S COVERING THIS SICK BASTARD'S ASS,

SOMEONE WITH A LOT OF MUSCLE.

WHO ?

HONESTLY, I DON'T WANT TO KNOW

AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU.

WATCH YOUR BACK, WANDA.

THANKS MAX, I OWE YOU.

YOU'LL GET MY CONSULTATION FEE.

MAX, YOU'RE AMAZING.

WOOF, WOOF !

WHY ARE YOU FOLLOWING HER ?

I'M TALKING TO YOU, DIRTBAG.

NOT A HEALTHY IDEA.

AHH !

I WANT ANSWERS NOW !

STARTING WITH YOUR BOSS' NAME.

GO ON, I'M LISTENING.

I JUST WANTED TO FIND THOSE CODE NUMBERS.

I'M NOT INTERESTED IN CODE NUMBERS, TERRY.

WE LOST A RATHER LARGE NUMBER OF WEAPONS

FROM THAT ORDINANCE ANNEX A WEEK AGO.

YES I KNOW, BUT WHAT I'M GETTING AT...

I WANT A SOLID CONCISE ANALYSIS FROM YOUR DEPARTMENT

TELLING ME WHO COULD HAVE DONE THIS.

THEY HAD THE SON-OF-A-BITCH CORNERED

AND SOMEHOW HE GOT AWAY.

WEAPONS AND ALL, IMPOSSIBLE !

INCREDIBLE.

I HAVEN'T SEEN A MANEUVER LIKE THAT SINCE...

AL SIMMONS.

I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO EXPLAIN THIS SCREW UP

TO THE PRESIDENT.

IT MAY HAVE BEEN AN INSIDE JOB, SIR.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ?

WELL I'VE BEEN RUNNING SOME CATALOGING REPORTS ON MY OWN

AND I CAUGHT SOME CODE DISCREPANCIES

IN OUR WEAPON STORAGE FILES.

GO ON.

I DID SOME CHECKING AND CRAZY AS IT SOUNDS

IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE MIGHT BE DIVERTING WEAPON SHIPMENTS

TO OTHER DELIVERY SIGHTS

THEN CHANGING THE INFO IN THE COMPUTER.

YOU HAVE ANY PROOF OF THIS ?

IT'S ALL HERE IN MY REPORT.

WHO ELSE HAVE YOU TALKED TO ABOUT THIS ?
