Believe it or not, I came here voluntarily.
My name is John Constantine.
And I'm an exorcist.
In my line of work, there are days you just need to forget.
But some you never will.

You witnessed the murder of a girl.
Talking can help you realize that it wasn't your fault.
That would be a neat trick, let's get to that part.
Let's start by telling me what happened that night at Newcastle.
Do you remember the killer?
I see that demon every time I close my eyes.
By demon, you... you mean murderer?
Oh by demon I mean a bloody demon.
A foul creature.
Smelled like a slaughterhouse.
You see what's happening, John?
You feel guilty for being unable to protect the girl, so...
you turned her killer into the embodiment of evil.
We're all powerless against demons.
Not all of us, Chief.
That's right.
Before you checked yourself in here three months ago,
you were working as an exorcist,
demonologist, and...
- Master of the Dark Arts. - That says "Master", does it?
I should really change that to petty dabbler. I hate to put on airs.
In any case, you wouldn't have been able
- to prevent the girl's death. - Astra!
Her name...
was Astra.
And I can handle her death.
It's her damnation that's eating me alive.
- Dragged to hell... - John, it's time to face the truth.
9 years old, and suffering for all eternity.
The only one suffering here is you.
- That's on me, man. - There are no demons.
That's what you keep telling me!
Now make me believe.
That's what I'm paying you for, isn't it?
My goal today...
was to break my
habit rituals.
Like, I make a cup of tea,
and then I stir it 9 times and then I've got
9 minutes to drink it, and
so it's 9 sips in 9 minutes.
Everything in multiples of 9 keeps bad things away, you know.
But today...
today,
I let my rituals go,
and nothing terrible happened.
I've only stirred it once.
Uh, Miss?
Whatever you're painting there, you might wanna stop now.
Miss?
No.
No, no no no no no.
This is not my problem.
Oh, bollocks!
I'm addressing the entity inside,
who are you? Tell me your name.
Hear my words!
In the name of the creator, you are hereby commanded to leave this place.
By the blood of man, be not
and be gone!
Don't worry, love.
- It's just paint. - Wh...
- what happened? - That spirit took your body for a spin.
_
To send me a message by the look of it.
Wh... what it's mean?
It means I've been wasting my time here.
I've got work to do.
She did it.
Who has a brighter future? Me...
or the opera lady in the food court?
Opera lady.
- What? - No college loans to pay off.
Toss me a fortune cookie?
Doesn't it bother you,
people coming here, and,
having adventures in the cars that they rent from us?
And all we do is wash the windows and check for dents.
I want some dents.
Failure is the opportunity to do better next time.
- In bed. - Huh?
You always add "in bed" to the end.
- Really? - Mh-hmm.
Let's read yours.
Ok.
It's blank.
Great. I have no future.
Aww.
Here you go. One for the road.
- Thanks. - Uh-huh.
See you in the morning. Don't forget to lock up.
- Good night, Liv. - See you later, Max.
Oh, my God.
Whoo!
Well, hello. What have we here?
Are you in a bit of trouble, love?
- Stay back! - My name is John Constantine.
You're pointing that the wrong way.
I promise you, I'm not the one that's hunting you.
What are you talking about? Who's hunting me?
It's probably more of a "what", or possibly an "it".
Stay away...
st... back away, stop!
Stay away.
It's easier to deny danger than to face it.
But make no mistake, if you don't listen to me,
- you'll be dead by morning. - I'm calling the police.
If you're so committed to contacting the authorities, then,
here's where they can reach me.
Or you can. If you enjoy breathing.
"Master of the Dark Arts"?
I'm getting new ones made.
Whoever you are, I'm a nasty piece of work.
Ask anybody!
You shouldn't be down here.
I could say the same about you.
You come to admire your handiwork?
This wasn't my doing.
What brings you back to the streets, John?
A young lady, of course.
I was asked to protect her by an old friend.
A dead friend more likely.
Well, he did have to possess a body, but he got my attention.
- Who are you? - You can call me Manny.
I was asked to watch over you.
"Watch over"?
No offense, squire,
I'm not in the habit of slumming it with angels.
You'll murder my reputation.
So will a mental hospital.
Yeah? Well, I checked out.
I'm all better.
You hear that?
I'm ok!
So, flap off.
You're not ok, John.
You damned a girl to hell.
Along with her, your soul.
Now I can't change your fate, but I can ease your suffering.
Go feed off someone else's loss.
Yours is exquisite.
Oh, don't worry about me, mate.
I can handle a demon attack.
I wouldn't be so sure.
You've been out of play a while.
There's a lot of panic down here.
People can sense what's on the way.
What's on the way?
We should go.
Wait!
What's on the way?
You're a life-saver.
It was no problem. I work five minutes away from you.
Thanks, Talia.
I really appreciate the ride.
I'm just glad you got away from that freak.
He sounded kinda rapey.
Yeah, it creeped me out.
You sure you're ok?
I'm all right, thank you.
Probably can't sleep.
- Sleep well. - You too.
Good night.
_
- Stay in your apartment, ma'am. - What's going on?
This is an active crime scene.
Oh my God, it's Talia. Oh my God.
Talia...
What the hell?
Hold on! Hold on! Hold tight, I'm gonna get you outta here.
Thanks for the ride.
You always car-pool with the cops?
My friend was killed last night.
I'm sorry to hear that.
I found it on my door. What is it?
The Eye of Horus.
It's an Egyptian symbol of protection.
Or so they say.
There was a man in my hallway last night.
I think he killed Talia.
Liv,
meet Chas.
My oldest mate.
He made the carving that kept you alive.
I'm glad you're safe.
Not much of a talker, that one.
Now, down to business.
We don't get you somewhere safe, bodies will just keep piling up.
Why would anybody want me dead?
I'm a nobody.
I hate to burst your bubble love, but you're not a nobody.
I knew your father.
Jasper Winters.
I promised him I'd look after you.
That's not possible.
My father died before I was born.
Whoever told you that was lying.
Jasper died just last year.
He was a good man too.
Here.
Open this.
It belonged to him.
He wanted you to have it.
- Oh my God, is everybody okay? - Everybody out!
- Chas, get them out. - Come on.
- Get out of here. - That's my desk.
I should have been sitting here.
Whatever's after you must be able to track you.
Feel your energy.
It won't give up until you're dead.
Oh my God!
Talia?
- She's alive. - No, she's not.
Something's using her.
This is all wrong.
They never operate in the open like this.
Who are you?
Who sent you?
Liv?
Gone.
Brilliant.
Mom, look me in the eye and tell me again.
When did my dad die?
I'm not prepared to have this conversation.
You denied me a father my entire life.
I don't care what you wanna talk about right now.
Who was he?
He was just... some boy,
that I met at a concert.
And he had no interest in seeing you after you were born.
And Lord knows, your nana, rest her soul,
she didn't encourage it.
A friend of his tracked me down.
Well, I don't see how, Jasper didn't even know where we lived.
The man I met said this belonged to him.
Have you ever seen it?
Liv?
What is it?
Nana!
Liv?
Honey?!
What's wrong? Liv?
What is happening to me?
You're waking up.
You're seeing the world for what it really is.
- Just like your father could. - Which means what?
Impatience!
Psychic disease of the 21st century.
Where's the pendant?
Look around.
What are they?
Souls.
Trapped.
Searching for a way out.
- Can you see them? - No.
What else do you see?
There's a train coming.
Is there?
Look... what are you doing?
There's a train coming!
Let go of me! Let go!
What are you doing? There's a train coming!
We have to get off the tracks!
Let go! John, let go of me!
What just happened?
Ghost train.
The more deaths involved, the more vivid the visions.
This is all impossible.
Denying it won't make it go away.
How come I can see these things?
It appears you have your father's gift.
When you touch his necklace,
it focuses your ability to see what he saw.
There are worlds beyond ours.
Parallel planes of existence.
Entities among us.
Jasper could see them all.
He tried to teach me, but...
I didn't have his knack.
So you were close?
We can talk later. Right now, we're prey.
Leave your car at your mom's, you're coming with us.
John was going to tell me about Jasper.
I wanna know how he died.
Bravely.
- You were there? - That's enough of that.
I was just thinking that whatever's after me,
maybe it wants revenge for something my father did.
I'm not concerned with the "why".
I just want to send it packing,
square my debt with your dad and be done.
Turn it down.
I can't.
Chas!
John?
- Astra? - It's following me.
Make it go away!
Please!
Come here, I've got you.
You can't have her!
You can't save her.
You can't have her! You can't have her!
John! Get me out of here!
John! Get us out of here!
Help us!
John, help us! My foot's jammed under!
John, jump in, please.
All right, keep your head on.
Oh!
The Sacred Cross commands you.
The Star of David commands you.
*** command you.
Flee this place!
Be not and be gone!
- I think I got it. get her outta there, Chas! - Yeah.
... command you.
Go!
Here!
Chas, look out!
Noooo!
There are millions of demons.
We need to figure out which one of them has you marked for death.
Don't worry,
we'll be safe here.
Are you kidding?
After what just happened to Chas?
Things aren't always what they appear to be, love.
You wanna make it out of this alive, you need to understand that.
I don't understand half of what you're saying.
Do you ever say anything clearly?
This house, belonged to your father.
If this day ever came,
I promised him,
that I would put these keys,
in your hands.
Is that clear enough for you?
Jasper stayed here now and then to watch over you.
But he had to keep his distance.
For your safety, naturally.
There's nothing natural about this.
This is insane!
You could survive an apocalypse down here.
Yeah, or start one.
Jasper used this place for divination.
No one could find trouble faster than your father.
Literally.
Oh, I'd put that down, love, before it puts you down.
This looks like a map of Atlanta.
What's with these locations?
- Illusion Falls? - Jasper taught himself cartography.
Started drawing his own maps based on what he saw.
You said that he could...
- find trouble? - It's called scrying.
Hold your pendant over a map, you'll see.
Ah! Here it is.
I found the demon that's hunting you.
Goes by the name of...
Furcifer.
That bloody angel was right.
The stakes are rising.
- What angel? - Uh, keep your eyes on the map.
Furcifer draws its strength from electricity.
Can manifest... lightning and tempests.
That's how he could control the power lines, and...
- dead bodies. - But I still don't understand
why it wants me?
Because you're a threat to whatever darkness is rising.
And now that you can see these things, they can see you.
And most of them, they don't like to be seen.
And taking you out, is...
well, it's pre-emptive.
- Ow! Ow! - Oh, oh, hold it.
Let the blood drop.
Oh my God! What is that?
What you asked for.
Trouble.
Where did the blood fall?
Edgewood Avenue.
So what, like something's bad is happening there?
Will happen.
It's daytime now,
most of the things your power's connected to, hunt at night.
Well, we should warn someone.
There's not exactly a system in place for that, is there?
- Well, we... we have to do something. - We are.
All right? We're keeping you alive.
So, I have an idea to cut your attacker down to size, but,
it means using you, as bait.
Why do I get the feeling you've already been doing that?
I have a contact at IV University who might be able to help.
Just sit tight 'til I get back.
Can I help you, sir?
You know it's a fine line between watching over, and stalking.
I was right, wasn't I?
It's heating up down here.
Can you open the gate, please?
I've got time pressures.
Ah.
This is new.
You found out what's hunting the girl?
A demon from the inner circle.
Really?
You know a thing like that can't make its way here, without serious help.
Know what? It feels to me like,
you want me to find out some information for you.
I do.
Why?
We've been here from the beginning, John.
Of time.
We were put here to guide the development of the human spirit.
With an unseen hand on the shoulder,
a whisper in the wind.
Not the most effective tools.
So, you've taken matters into your own hands.
Hmm.
It's a slippery slope there, chum.
- It's how the First of the Fallen made his name. - Different agendas.
Listen, if you figure out what we're up against,
I will use that knowledge,
to save lives.
And what about my life, eh?
You and yours...
damned me to hell!
So,
- Why should I risk my last days on earth... - Why, indeed.
You're a sideshow attraction.
A peddler of shabby magic.
- Hang on a minute, I sometimes... - Your decisions
are questionable at best and without conscience.
Why should you risk what time you have left?
Because you are damned to hell.
At least for the moment anyway.
You're suggesting that it's not too late for me...
to save my soul?
Are you all right, sir?
No.
Not even slightly.
Hello, Richie.
Long time, mate.
Okay. I'm gonna need you to just please...
get yourself out of my office right now!
- Go on, get out! - Is that any way to greet a mate?
All right, you know what? Never mind. Never mind.
You... you can stay... you can stay, I'll get out.
You're still trolling the Internet for things that go bump in the night.
A celestial type said something big's on its way.
If I tell you...
will you leave?
All right, all right. Yes.
Yes, I have been...
data-mining a whole lot of unexplained
phenomena, police reports, chat-rooms, news, wires and I...
I can guarantee you, things...
things are crawling out of the shadows
on a scale we've never seen before, John.
Never.
That includes a demon from the inner circle that's
terrorizing Jasper's daughter.
I need your help, old son.
Can you hack a power grid?
Can I hack a power...
Why yes, I can do that, and...
I believe I'll take a pass on that. Thank you so very much.
Listen, Richie.
I know that Newcastle was a botched job.
Newcastle? Newcastle was a nightmare, John.
It was a nightmare.
Everything that happened to that girl.
And you know what now?
I can't even make it through one day without oxy,
to dull the pain, diazepam, to make me sleep,
and I will only get out of bed for my now dangerously good friend,
- dextroamphetamine! - We all learned our lessons, Richie.
We did, and my lesson...
my painfully learned lesson was to do
everything I could
to stay way away from you, man.
Way away.
You know, the coppers in Newcastle
are still searching for the man that murdered Astra.
- You know it wasn't a man. - But they don't know what, do they?
Now, it would be a real shame if someone tipped them off you were there.
Not like you really have an alibi for that night.
You know, I...
wish it would have been you, John.
No, really.
I really wish the ghoul just...
gone ahead and taken you instead.
That makes it two of us.
Dad.
Oh, don't cry. I brought groceries.
I saw a man in the mirror over the fireplace.
- Is that... - Jasper.
- Sounds like him. - Is that his...
- ghost? - No.
Times are adjoined in that mirror.
You're watching the past.
You'll find lots of dodgy business like that in this place.
Here. I grabbed some clothes for you.
- Wh... how did you get into my apartment? - Liv.
It's okay, it's okay. I'm... I'm all right.
- Sorry to startle you. - But you...
you...
you died.
Not exactly. It's... complicated.
There's a reason Chas is my oldest friend.
He has survival skills.
No, no, nobody can survive what I saw.
Excellent...
if you're not confused, you're not paying attention.
Now...
time for your famous rack of lamb.
One should never battle demons on an empty stomach.
Wait. We're going after that thing tonight?
Live in the now, I always say.
Three hundred, four hundred...
five hundred dollars.
Just to have sex on a rooftop.
Come on, let's go.
She's on fire tonight.
There's one more vital detail.
There's an extra hundred in it for you...
if you keep this by your side.
If it glows, you call me immediately.
It's not screwed into anything.
Neither am I, mate.
Look, just...
keep an eye on it... and call me.
You've got my cellphone number.
What is it?
Demon seal.
Did you get it off the Internet?
No.
This one's a proprietary design.
Triangle of Solomon, with some elder runes in enochian script.
When Furcifer comes for you, it'll have to enter the circle.
The seal will hold it...
and then I can order it to hell.
Well, that should do it.
It's time.
You need to enter the circle.
No, no.
It's my high score.
Where do you come from, John?
The sordid passions of my parents.
- You do that a lot, you know. - No, what's that?
- Deflect emotions with humor. - Do I?
The kind of weird humor that makes me wonder if you're a sociopath.
Oh, well forgive me if I don't wallow in my own feelings.
I'm a firm believer in repressing the past.
- It's where we are that counts. - I don't buy that.
You just risked your life to convince me that my past is important.
Come on, John, I'm trusting you with my life here.
The least you can do is to share one small personal detail.
My mom died giving birth to me.
Or one big detail.
My dad said it was my fault.
He had a nickname for me.
I heard it every night.
Hey there, Killer.
And after a night in the pub, which was,
every night, he'd, uh, punch my head and say...
that's for what you did to your mother, Killer.
Do you sometimes wonder what your mom was like?
There's no point wondering.
I'm gonna find her.
When I was a teenager, I started reading every book I could find on the occult.
I told myself spells, rituals, curses.
I learned to conjure all kinds of dead things.
Just not her.
Not yet.
If you can conjure people, can you conjure my dad?
You wouldn't like the results.
Get ready.
I told you to call my cellphone.
You really don't want to be up here.
Oh yes, he does.
That's not the guard.
Steady, Liv.
You killed that nice gentleman.
I should've seen that one coming.
Well, you want her, chief?
Come and get her.
If you insist.
Nergal said your rituals lacked the power of intention.
Liv, run!
John!
You thought you could trap me?
You brought me to the heart of the city...
at night.
In this place...
I'm God.
That reminds me.
I almost forgot.
I hope this works, John.
What's this?
The power of intention.
Let me out, John.
I'll free Astra's soul.
As if you could.
John...
is that you?
- Astra. - John.
I want to go home.
Take me home.
Release me...
and her soul is free.
John...
I'm scared.
Stop, John, it's not Astra. It's not her.
I'm scared.
Oh you think you can mess with my life?
I got news for you, mate.
I'm coming for Astra.
And then I'm coming for Nergal!
And you can pass that along.
In hell!
Are you ok?
I've got a colleague down there, he'll drive you home.
Go.
Who's Astra?
She was the daughter of a friend of ours in Newcastle, England.
Demon possessed her.
John went ahead on his own...
decided to conjure up a more powerful demon.
- Nergal. - He said he was just gonna...
order it to drag the lesser demon away.
- But it took Astra instead. - Yeah.
After tearing her apart right in front of us.
See, John truly believes
he's got every situation under control.
You know, he makes you believe.
That's his magic...
but it's also his curse.
If I were you, I'd just stay away from him, Liv.
I can't tell you how much I wish your father had.
Hey, this is Edgewood Avenue.
John told me to scry today and that street came up on the map.
Stop.
Stop the car.
Let go!
Let go of me!
Why?
Who did this? What sort of person would do this to a boy?
A teenage boy was killed tonight.
He was killed on Edgewood Avenue.
We knew something was gonna happen there.
We could've stopped it.
You gotta drop that philosophy, love, it will drive you mental.
Or it'll save innocent lives?
I had to find out
if anybody else was in trouble... Move.
I went to the library, to scry like you taught me. Look.
It's happening everywhere.
Take my advice.
Go back to the rental cars, live in the hobbit house. It'll keep you safe.
I don't care about being safe.
Not when people are dying.
I need to find these things and stop them.
Like my father did.
But I...
I can't do it alone.
I'm afraid you're sniffing around the wrong lamp post.
I've paid my debt to your dad, you're alive, aren't you?
If you won't do it for them, do it for Astra.
- Make her loss matter. - I'll think about it.
Thanks, mate.
Congratulations.
You actually made her believe it was all her idea.
It was easy.
The hard part was getting Richie
to drive 10 blocks out of the way past Edgewood Avenue.
Why didn't you just ask for Liv's help?
Ah, she would've never trusted me.
It had to be her idea.
It's a shame.
Young man on Edgewood Avenue had to lose his life.
Things... I live with every day.
Liv and that boy were marked for death tonight.
I could only save one.
So...
you're going to help us.
You'll figure out what kind of force we're up against.
- It's what you wanted, isn't it? - I gotta ask...
are you doing it to save lives...
or save your sorry soul.
That's a trick question.
I'm not gonna answer it.
Pick up the tab, will you.
Bastards are gonna owe me.
My name is John Constantine.
I'm the one who steps from the shadows.
All trenchcoat and arrogance.
I'll drive your demons away.
Kick 'em in the bollocks
and spit on them when they're down.
I'll walk my path alone
because let's be honest...
who would be crazy enough to walk it with me?
