Agents of oblivion,
behold the sacred influence

of our master.

Today, at this moment in time,

we give our lord
Abatu body and blood.

The purity of this soul
shall bring forth our master

from his caged existence to
this vessel of flesh and bone.

In the name of darkness

we usher your spirit.

In the name of
darkness we usher your spirit.



Break free from
your earthly prison

and receive the flesh.

Break free
from your earthly prison

and receive the flesh.

Infernal king,
lord of everlasting night.

Infernal king,
lord of everlasting night.

Hear us,

Hear us.

Hear our prayer.

By the star of the east

and the fire of the western sky.

Behold the end.

Infernal king,
lord of everlasting night.

Infernal king, lord
of everlasting night.



Infernal king, lord

of everlasting night.

Damian!

Seryph.

Damian.

Hey, hey.

Sweetie, are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I'm fine, I'm fine.

They're
getting worse.

It's fine, baby, it's just
a nightmare, okay?

It's not just a nightmare.

You've been having these
since you were a child.

It's okay, all right?

Go back to sleep.

Come on.

You should go back
to sleep, it's okay.

It's not okay, I can tell.

- It is okay.
- Something's different.

It's all good, baby, promise.

Okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Yup, hoo!

I'm up.

I'm up.

All right, tell me the address.

I'll see ya there, okay?

Sorry.

You know you can't keep
running away from this.

I'm not running away, baby.

I gotta go to work.

Hey.

Just don't forget Mom is
coming over for dinner.

Just don't be late.

Okay?

Promise.

Just be careful.

Always am.

- Yeah.
- Right.

All right,
everybody, give us the room.

What do we got?

A mess is what we got.

Who called it in?

Owner of the building.

Said nobody's supposed
to be in here.

Anybody else?

In an abandoned building
in this neighborhood?

You wish it was
gonna be that easy.

Derelicts, homeless,
lotta lost stories

in this neighborhood.

Not the kind are
gonna talk to cops.

Looks like someone's
looking for attention.

Yeah.

Nothin' but crazies
out since Katrina.

City's full of lunatics.

New Orleans
hasn't changed, buddy.

You've just become
old and bitter.

Eh, can't argue with that.

Wait.

What is it?

The Devil?

Beltway Snipers
did the same thing.

Connection, copycat?

Eh, not a copycat
I don't think.

Look at the incisions here,

the way the body's laid out.

Very intentional, specific.

Even down to the signature.

I forgot how it felt.

So soft and beautiful.

Just slowly decaying.

Yes, slowly decaying.

Something we have in common.

It's been a long time, Ian.

It took a long time.

And why is that?

I gave you a gift,
a second chance.

I feel like you might wanna
appreciate my generosity.

After last time I
needed to make sure

everything was perfect
for your return.

We kept the dimming box
hidden well and it took me

- a while...
- Enough.

Your loyalties
aren't in question.

The purpose for your loyalty
sometimes makes me ponder.

My purpose is that
of the Circle of Night,

to return you and your
brothers to the Earth

for the beginning
of our new world.

Ours?

It's okay, child.

I know you have your own agenda.

As long as you don't
forget your place,

you will have
everything you desire.

I haven't been able
to locate Moloch yet,

but I'm getting close.

I'll have it for you.

You have my word.

Very good.

And the detective?

In good time.

He is an essential piece
to the big picture.

For now, continue to
keep an eye on him.

- But...
- You

question me?

Patience, your time will come.

That will be all.

So soft and beautiful.

Victim was DOA.

Ligaments in the back of his
ankles and elbows were severed.

He was immobile
for the assailant.

Pieces of flesh
were also missing.

It looks like he was
tortured for hours

before he was actually murdered,

but we're waitin' on
forensics and pathology

for time and actual
cause of death.

Oh, um, no witness.

We got a partial fingerprint
and a hair sample

that we're sending up for DNA.

No ID on the vic so
we're just treatin' him

as a John Doe right now.

And the occult imagery?

A whack job with a
flair for the dramatics

or an actual ritual killing?

- Well...
- It's actually

too early to tell
right now, sir.

Anything else I
should know about?

No sir, not at this time.

The department can only keep
this under wraps for so long.

You need to find this guy.

We don't need mass
hysteria over nothing.

You remember back in '93
when we had those kids?

Figure this out
and put it to bed.

Understood.

That'll be all.

Take this and get outta here.

Hey, hey!

What are you ladies up to?

Hey!

Oh, ya know, just
nothin' but trouble.

My future son-in-law.

Future mother-in-law.

How are you, son?

- I'm doin' great.
- Hey, babe.

- How are you?
- Good.

Good, good.

- Hi, baby.
- Just goin' through

more wedding stuff.

How are ya?

- I'm good, how are you?
- Ooh,

wait a minute.

You look skinny.

Oh.

Has she been feeding you?

It's time to eat.

As much as she can.

I've been a little busy at work.

All right well,
let's go fix that.

All right.

Get in the kitchen.

Eh, you know the rule,
no guns at the table.

I better get washed up.

- Sounds good.
- I'll see ya in there

- in a minute.
- All right.

Oh God.

Oh gee whiz.

I can't believe, it's
just hard to believe

that you used to
babysit my little girl.

Babysit?

She wasn't a baby, okay?

I was just makin' sure she
didn't burn down the house.

Oh, well that's actually
a good thing

that you did that.

Man, I had such
a crush on you.

Well, you know things
haven't changed very much.

And after all these years
you found each other again?

I mean.

Found each other?

It's more like I had a stalker.

Uh, I did not stalk you.

- Unh-unh.
- Okay, sorry.

You just, ya know,
consistently watched me

from very close distance
quite consistently.

Well, that is my
daughter, my Abi.

She goes after what she
wants and she gets it.

Mm-hm.

And ya know if I
remember correctly,

you did not seem to
put up much of a fight.

Well, you did turn out to
be quite the beautiful woman.

- Mm.
- Well that's because

she takes after her mother.

Yes, she does.

Mm, you know what?

I wanna say something.

I think it's time that
we actually celebrate.

I mean it has been
a long time coming.

Mom.

Yeah, it was a long time ago.

I know, I just wish your
mom and dad were here.

And I'm glad that I
officially get to call you

son.

Okay.

As nice as that is, it's
a little sappy for me.

So why don't you guys tell me

what you came up
with for the wedding.

Go ahead.

Okay, okay, so.

I gotta tell you,

we just ordered the cake today.

You may reveal yourself to me.

Elric is concerned
about the plan.

Ancient perspectives
with no foresight

has always been the way
of the Circle of Nine.

But shouldn't we?

The last time you were
here you were captured

by our enemies, then
Abaddon, Leviathan,

and of course Moloch.

Should we not be cautious?

You question me.

No.

Mr. Parrish is taking
care of any problems

that may get in the way.

What should I tell
Elric and the elders?

You tell them that
my children are coming.

Darkness will fall on light,

and as I complete the rites
of the Seven Seals of Solomon,

my brothers will come
forth and will create

a world of pain and suffering.

That is what you should
tell Elric and the elders.

I shall relay your message.

And Magus,

prepare the lair
for my children.

Of course.

Continue with the
your task at hand.

Some day this will
be your responsibility.

I cast you back
into your prison!

Do what
needs to be done!

I love you, son.

You know we really need
to stop meeting like this.

It is over, Seryph.

Before you die

you will watch me
murder the entire world

and everyone you love!

What is happening to me?

Who is this guy?

Who is this guy?

Nobody.

Nothing, normal guy, normal job.

I made some calls.

I mean this guy is completely
fucking uninteresting.

Kept to himself.

His coworkers said he
is a really nice guy.

Yeah, nice guy
with a missing liver.

Yeah, that could be
voodoo, cannibalism.

Did you get
anything from the lab?

Well that got nothin'.

Fingerprints, DNA came up empty.

It's like this guy
was never even born.

How is that even possible?

All
right, no problem.

So what you're
sayin' is we got nothin'.

We got nothin'.

Got nothin'.

Welp, keep at it.

Cap called me again.

He's got a bug up his ass.

Gimme the file.

I'm gonna hit the streets.

It's too damn hot in here.

All right, thanks.

We gettin' a drink later?

Oh, sorry buddy, I can't.

I got a hot date with a
bartender named Abigail.

Thomas Mallen.

Took me a while to find you.

What do you want?

Well come on, Tom.

You know what I want.

You were there that night.

You know.

Really?

That's what this is about?

You think torturing me
gon' get me to tell you?

Mr. Parrish, I don't
know where it is.

That's how it works.

None of us know everything.

Well, you know who I am.

You know what I'm capable of.

You don't scare me.

And neither does
that master of yours.

He is not my master!

Sure.

You know,

there are moments like these

that we can't ever
get away from.

Moments that prove

beyond a shadow of a doubt
that we're all alone.

And you will die alone,

but you'll serve
a greater purpose

than the order could've
ever given you.

It's gonna be a long
afternoon, Mr. Mallen.

Yes.

Ah, see?

That's how it's done,
son, right there.

Don't try and get
one over on me.

I been playin' this game longer
than you've had pubic hairs.

Eh, it's not the
'70s anymore, Frank.

There's somethin'
called grooming.

Seriously?

You gonna throw that
metrosexual shit at me again?

You should try it, Frank.

Women do appreciate
a well-groomed man.

Well I'm quite
happy with my forest,

thank you very much, young lady.

Another round?

What time is it?

Uh, it's almost 11.

No, I should get my
tired old bones home.

Yeah, wouldn't mind gettin'
an early start either.

Hey, um, the word
out on the street,

I talked to some of my peeps.

- Your peeps?
- My peeps.

You said peeps.

I said peeps, I'm still cool.

And my peeps didn't
have anything.

I mean seriously, there's
nothin' out there.

There's no word at all.

This guy's a ghost.

Looks like we're
back to square one.

Yeah, this is Garrison.

He's right here with me.

Sure, on our way.

What's up?

Looks like we got another one.

Hey babe, looks
like we're not headin' home.

Everything okay?

Yeah.

Love ya, sweetheart.

Back at ya, Frank.

We might be late.

Oh, it's fine.

I gotta close anyway.

Well, be careful.

Love you.

Love you, too.

I hate to say, I told you so.

Anybody see anything?

No, same as last one.

No witnesses.

Nobody saw anything.

We were able to lift
fingerprints this time.

Definitely got DNA,
but if this guy

is not in the system, I
don't see how it helps us.

Cut out his heart.

We're not gonna be able to
keep this quiet much longer.

Do not be afraid, my child.

Your blood will cleanse my body

and your name will
forever be etched

in the Book of Darkness.

We all have our purpose,

and yours is to serve as a
means to sustain this body.

Seriously, you
stayed here all night again?

Yes I did because we
got something, okay?

I checked with CID to
see if they had anything

that resembled what
we got goin' on here.

Okay, same M.O., two
different parishes

in the last six months.

Same deal.

No DNA, partial
prints, no matches.

- Vics?
- Vics.

Mr. Christopher
Hyde, okay, age 52.

He went missing for
a couple of days

then he shows up in
Lafayette lookin' like this.

This card right here,
it's known as The Emperor.

Okay, let's fast
forward two months.

Miss Connie Hyde.

Okay, mother of
two, 53 years old.

She goes missing, she's
found about 30 miles

from her house in Iberville.

Tongue cut out, heart cut out,

left in a counterweight
on the scene, okay.

This card right here?

It's known as the Ten of Swords.

So our guy's got a thing.

He's got a thing.

Did you talk to Garceau
over at CID with this?

How did nobody
put this together?

You know bureaucratic
bullshit outweighs police work

- all the time.
- It's time to bypass

the bureaucratic bullshit
and go see my friend Victor.

- The priest?
- Yeah.

The priest.

Great, we're gonna
go see a priest.

Damian.

So good to see you.

You, too.

Very happy you called.

I've known Damian since he
was in diapers.

Isn't that right,
Damian.

Come in, come on.

Pardon the mess.

Just got back.

Where from?

The Vatican.

Went to the Curio.

I thought you retired.

God's work is never done.

What can I help
you and Mister...

Garrison.

Garrison.

We're workin' a case
right now and we came across

some occult imagery, like
ritual killing stuff,

and I wanted to show
you some images.

Maybe you can help us out.

Sure, sure.

This is all
highly confidential.

Of course.

My God.

Who would do such a thing?

Do you recognize...

This is the Star of Solomon,

sometimes referred to
as the Star of Babel,

but only when it's inverted
like it is in these photos.

I have something that may help.

Solomon believed,

believed that he could close
the gates of Heaven and Hell

and rule Earth himself
without interference

from their ruler Lucifer.

And does any of this have
anything to do with anything?

Maybe very little,
maybe quite a lot.

You'll find reference in
there to a man named Terric.

He believed he could
do the same thing

by releasing the Four
Horseman of the Apocalypse.

Huh.

Whomever is doing
that believes the same.

We also had these Tarot cards.

Think of that?

Not my area of expertise,

but I do know
someone who may help.

Why don't you pay her a visit.

Great, I'll do that.

Thank you, Victor.

Of course.

Listen, if you think of
anything else, give us a call.

One more thing.

Take a look at that.

Great.

Thank you, take care.

Yes, thank you, Padre.

Happy hunting, Mr. Garrison.

Look out for my boy.

It was a pleasure.

Pathology report.

Fingerprints, DNA matches.

It's definitely our guy.

But even the FBI and
Homeland Security

can't find anything on him.

He's good.

You come up with anything?

No, I got nothin'.

Nothin' connects these two.

I mean, it just seems so random.

How about
your priest friend?

Well, I mean it's
obvious he believes

in what he's doing, but ya know,

I don't believe anything I
can't see or I can't prove, so.

Well now there might be
somethin' to understanding

what he believes.

Yeah, well we just need
to stick to the facts

and the evidence.

Well I am.

Just thought maybe if I
could get inside his head

I might understand what he's
thinking, what he's feeling.

Stay out of his head.

Stick to the facts
of the evidence.

And go home and get some rest.

The infernal realm
created by Lucifer

was divided amongst his
generals and his kings.

Abatu, Moloch,
Abaddon, and Leviathan

betrayed Lucifer
and become known

as the Four Horsemen
of the Apocalypse.

Lucifer came to Earth to
start his own bloodline.

The three king demons,
Aamon, Belial, and Paimon,

were assigned to protect
their earthly brothers

and supply them with both
the knowledge and training

in the ways of exorcism
and protection.

Terric and his brother Parcival

were born of the
Lucifer bloodline.

Their bloodline split after
Terric ignored the words

and teachings of Paimon
and began listening

to the whispers of Abatu.

Terric would raise Abatu from
Hell and drink from his blood

and grant him eternal
life, but his flesh

would slowly decay over time.

The tale of Solomon goes
back to the time of Babel.

The tower which
stood to the clouds

was built by the
Sumerian slaves captured,

taken by the ruler, during
the time of Mesopotamia.

The tower became a
beacon of worship.

The language of Enochian
was passed on to Solomon.

Solomon would use the
language to create a poem.

At the sacrifice of seven
the seals will allow

for the closure of
Heaven and Hell.

Those rituals would
become a reflection

of both an arrangement of
body and ritual of passage.

The Seven Seals of Solomon.

Hm.

Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah, I'll be right there.

No one.

Hey.

Go, go.

- What's up?
- Damian.

I'm sorry, but I don't
want you in on this.

What are
you talkin' about?

I don't want you in on this.

I don't know how to...

Okay, this is a little
strange, all right.

Hey Damian.

- What is it?
- I don't know

how to tell you this.

It's, it's,

it's Joan.

It's our guy.

It's the same M.O.

- What?
- Damian.

- No.
- Damian.

Damian!

No.

No.

I don't know how
she's mixed up in it.

But I'm gonna take care of this
'cause you need to go home.

Abi needs to hear this from you.

She needs to hear it from you.

I got this.

Go home.

Come on.

Let's go.

Home.

But I, I want to...

Be with Abi.

I got this.

Sorry.

Abigail.

She would say, "Abi,

"death is nothing but a ripple

"in the life lived in
the waste of time."

You already know.

I'm her daughter.

When you're close to someone
you're truly connected,

you feel when that connection
is broken and I felt it.

What's that?

She gave it to me.

A present to protect us.

Ironic.

Whatever you
need, Abigail, okay?

You know she really loved you.

I know.

Mr. Parrish.

Where is my father?

Your father is resting.

Don't lie to me.

What's the
matter, Mr. Parrish?

Don't you have something
that you need to be doing?

Oh, I can handle my
shit but what about you?

You really think he
can control the dog

when he's off his leash.

Abatu can be controlled.

That's not your problem.

What it the Seryph
realizes who he is?

Is that not my problem either?

He'll be dead long
before that can happen.

Ya know that's

what I admire about you
the most, your arrogance.

You elders and your rules.

You know how many of you
I've seen come and go?

Be careful, Mr. Parrish.

Know your place.

Oh, I know my place.

I'm Ian Parrish, son
of Terric Parrish,

and the direct descendant
of Lucifer himself.

My loyalty is with the order
and my father, not you.

Why do you disgrace us

and everything your
father has built?

We have remained
inconspicuous for centuries

and now you, flaunting
your narcissism,

craving that your name
be marked in history

for your depraved

perversions.

In exchange for what?

Vainglorious reputation?

And in process you bring
unwanted attention to us.

You are laughable, Ian.

You're not a god,
you're an aberration.

There's gonna be a
time when your father

can't even save you.

It'd be
wise not to test me.

That's enough!

My own flesh and blood.

You stench marked with joy!

Pettiness grows tiresome.

For 800 years I've dedicated
myself to our cause.

And now we are so close
to seeing it through.

You must trust in
me and the order.

Abatu is our master, but in
time he will be our slave.

We are the key to his obedience.

I will not have us divided.

Forgive me my insolence.

Continue your mission
and our bidding.

Yes, Father.

Hi, you must be
Victor's friend, Damian.

Yeah.

My
mom made me aware.

Please come in.

- Thanks.
- Yeah.

Thank you.

I'll go get my mother for you.

Thank you.

May I help you?

I'm sorry.

What do you have
to be sorry about?

I'm the one that's blind.

Um, well my friend
Victor sent me.

I'm Detective Damian Seryph.

I'm workin' this case and...

I know who you are.

Come, child.

Sit, Detective Seryph.

I wasn't
looking for a reading.

I know what you're
looking for, Mr. Seryph.

Sit.

I appreciate your time.

Your mind's eye contains
the information you need.

I will be a medium to
what needs to be seen.

How do you know...

Silence.

I see the terror of many.

These cards do not represent
you but an old poem.

The Devil.

Forces once thought tamed.

Judgment.

Came the rising
of the dark souls.

The Emperor and the
master of pestilence.

The Ten of Swords.

The end is coming.

The Tower.

With disaster,

demons, and despair.

The Lovers create juxtaposition

for a choice between
love and abandonment.

Death with a harsh death for
all who had been protected.

Babylon.

Seven Seals of Solomon.

House of Babel.

House of Babel.

No.

Miss, um.

No.

Okay, I'll get...

Damian.

Damian.

Abi, Abi.

- I gotta go.
- Mom.

That's enough.

I didn't do it.

Mom,
are you all right?

I'm fine.

Young man, you
need to look inside

to find all that's
holdin' ya back.

Your destiny is only
possible with your sight.

Wait, I, I...

Is she okay?

She's fine, she just needs
to lie down for awhile.

Things can get really
intense for her,

but I've never
seen her like that.

She kept repeating
House of Babel.

You have any idea
what that means?

No, not really.

Wait.

She used to do readings
for this guy named Jack.

He stayed in a place
called House of Babel.

She stopped going, but
actually she never said why.

I just figured she must've
dug up some really dark stuff

and she didn't wanna revisit it.

You know where that's at?

Spring Road, the
old rundown house.

But it'll probably be
a waste of your time.

Why is that?

It's been abandoned for years.

Thank you, Annelise.

Hey!

You've reached the
voicemail of Frank Garrison.

You've reached the
voicemail of Frank Garrison.

Jesus.

Jack the Ripper.

Damian Seryph.

Don't worry, I'm
not gonna kill you.

I will kill you.

You know,
your great-grandfather

said the same thing to me.

But here I am.

Oh, I'm very sweet,
coz, and I'm gonna enjoy

takin' away everything
you love and cherish most,

especially your sweet Abigail.

If you touch
her, I swear I'll...

Shit.

God.

Gah!

- Hello?
- Frank.

What is it, Damian?

Listen, I found him.

I'm in his place right now.

Is he there?

No, he's not here.

I'll explain when ya get here.

Just, uh,

Damian.

bring everybody.

- Damian.
- I'll explain

when ya get here, okay.

Damian, wait.

Where is everybody?

What's the problem.

Come on, let's go inside.

I'll show you where he was at.

Damian.

The fuck are you doing here?

Well, I found the guy.

Our killer has been inside...

What the fuck
are you doing here?

I followed a lead.

- A lead?
- Could be inside.

A lead?

Put it in a file.

No warrant.

- Come on, Frank.
- No warrant,

no crime scene, Damian.

You know that.

What...

Damian, I didn't come over
here 'cause I was your friend.

I didn't come over here
because I was your partner.

I came over here 'cause the
chief had me in his office

to tell me he wants
you off this case.

No.

Too close.

You gonna pull me
off this fuckin' case?

I'm not doin' shit.

- Fuckin' found the guy.
- Damian.

He's fuckin' in there.

He had a fuckin' knife
to my fuckin' throat!

And now you're
gonna pull me off?

Do not treat me like a
fucking rookie, Frank.

- Okay.
- Okay?

What I've seen, what I've done,
I know what's inside there.

This should be crawling
with CSI right now.

You're right.

Don't gimme that
fuckin' look either.

No warrant.

No crime scene.

I don't fuckin' need
to hear that again.

So what do you
wanna do here, huh?

I want you to go home.

- I want you to be with Abi.
- You want me to just

walk away from this?

I want you to be
with the woman you love

who is going through a
really rough time now.

I don't know if ya noticed,
but her mother died.

I want ya to clean yourself up.

I want ya to get some rest.

Ya look like ya haven't
slept in over a week

and everybody is noticing.

I can't do this.

Did you sleep this week?

When's the last time
you slept, tell me.

Last night?

Night before last?

You got a good
eight hours sleep.

Night before that?

Come on, it's
fuckin' bullshit.

What do you wanna do?

We just walk away from this?

We got a mountain of
evidence sittin' inside there

and you know it.

And we just walk away?

We just walk away, pretend
none of this ever happened,

not one bit of it.

We have door between this
mountain of evidence and us,

and we got a chief
of police who says

you're no longer allowed
near any of that evidence

because you're not
on the case anymore.

That's what we got.

You know what else you got?

Ya got a woman ya
love at home alone.

Ya got a partner who's worried

that you are losing your mind.

Frank, I'm not losing

- my mind.
- Look me in the eye

- I'm not losing my mind.
- and tell me that you

- Don't gimme that, gimme that
- are acting normal.

gimme that act!

Are you actin' normal?

Are ya, Damian?

Look at me.

Look at me and tell me this
is all normal daily behavior!

Come on.

Go home.

If it's there now, it'll be
there after we get a warrant.

Rest, clean yourself
up, be with Abi.

Okay. All right.

Damian.

Just go home.

Hey, this is Abi.

Hey, this is...

Hey, this is Abi,
leave a message.

Abi, it's me.

Could ya please call me back?

I'm gettin' a little worried.

Thank you.

What the fu-?

You need to start tellin' me
what the hell is goin' on.

Damian.

Geez.

I deserve the truth, Victor!

Yes, you do.

You deserve the truth.

I trust you looked at
those books I gave you.

Yes.

Those stories
are real, Damian.

They're not fantasies
or fictions or myths.

Lucifer came to Earth
to start his bloodline

to protect all of us.

Okay, no offense,
Victor, but that is insane.

Centuries, Damian, centuries.

Get your mind around that.

Centuries ago his bloodline,
your bloodline split

between the Parrishes
and the Seryphs.

The Parrishes continued to
serve the Four Horsemen,

their exiled kings,
whereas the Seryphs...

Enough of this!

No, Damian, you
need to listen!

You are the direct
descendant of Lucifer.

The Golden Dawn, Abi's
mom, your father,

all the others were demonologists
protecting all of us

from horrors

too unspeakable to imagine
much less understand.

My duties take me outside
the boundaries of my diocese.

I was charged with
assisting the Golden Dawn

and matters, let's
just say the church

would rather not get
their hands dirty with.

Magic, exorcisms, hermetic
rites and practices.

This has been going on
for centuries, Damian.

This is bigger than the church.

Let's just say we figured out

that if we didn't
all work together,

well, we'd sure as
hell fail as one.

The crest of the Seryph.

The helm of Lucifer.

Familiar?

Your father was special
because of the gifts

he was born with.

You were born with
those same gifts.

Been seeing things
lately, Damian.

Yeah, I should think ya have.

Your time has
come, it's arrived.

Time for you to
replace your father

and accept your inheritance.

I tried,
I tried to watch out

over you and protect you
like I promised your mother

I would.

- My mother?
- Yes, your mother.

She understood her responsibilities
and accepted the risk.

As does the one who is
chosen to watch out over you

and protect you

and be the vessel
for your bloodline.

Abi.

Abigail.

Abigail was chosen for you
when she was still a child.

You're tellin' me my
whole life has been a lie?

Please, Damian.

Oh, we don't have time for this.

Don't have time for this?

Don't ya think this is
something you shoulda told me,

I don't know,
maybe 20 years ago?

Damian, please.

No Damian me!

So I met the man that's
killing off your Golden Dawn.

I imagine you know
who that is, right?

His name is Ian Parrish.

His father is Terric.

They belong to the
Circle of Nine.

They are very dangerous.

Is there anything else
you want to tell me?

How 'bout where's Abi?

Abigail?

When was the last time
you talked to her?

When I left last
night she was sleeping.

Perhaps you know where she's at.

Abi and Joan brought
me this two days ago.

She thought maybe this
place was somehow connected

to the Hellfire Club.

Maybe she went there
to check it out.

We're done here.

Don't, Damian.

You're not ready
for this, not this.

Good luck.

Abigail?

Abigail!

What are you doing?

Damian.

- You can't be here.
- Behind you!

It's not safe.

You need to go.

Abigail!

Damian, Damian.

Damian, we gotta go.

We need to go, come on.

Come on, get up.

What just happened?

Let's go.

Sit down.

Damian.

Sit down.

Sit down!

Damian.

He's created a legion.

What the hell is a legion?

I know it's a lot to fathom,

but there are
worlds beyond ours,

worlds of angels.

And demons.

No, no!

This doesn't make any sense.

Damian, did what
you see back there

seem like make believe?

You're just starting
to tap into your gifts.

Did you ever even love me?

I loved you ever since I
was a little girl, Damian.

This wasn't a job I
was given, but a gift.

I love you more than
anything in this world.

You lied to me.

You both did!

How am I supposed
to trust you again?

- Damian.
- No, you are staying here

with Victor.

You can't go out there alone.

It's too dangerous.

You need me.

I need a drink.

Damian.

Don't stop me.

Love's tricky.

Just needs some time.

He'll be okay.

He's starting to believe.

Hey.

Meet me at The Brickyard?

I don't need a partner,
I need a friend.

And a drink.

That's quite a
fuckin' story, pal.

I know.

I know.

But it's real.

As real as you sittin'
in front of me.

I don't even know
what to say to you.

Say that you
fuckin' believe me.

We've been partners,
we've been friends

for a very long
time, haven't we?

You're my family.

That means I believe in you.

Even if I don't believe everything
you're sayin' right now.

So why don't we make a deal.

I'm gonna check out
all this lair shit.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

But while I'm diggin',
you're gonna promise me

that you're gonna go
home and you're gonna

get some rest because
ya look like shit.

Okay.

What?

Okay.

Okay.

Promise me you'll call
me if you find anything.

I will call you, sweetheart,
as soon as I find somethin'.

Go, go.

Ya need sleep.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

We're family, Damian.

Hey.

It's me, Garrison.

All right, keep
it together.

What the hell?

Hello?

Hello?

What?

Damian.

Who's there?

Where am I?

Damian.

Stay where ya are.

I said don't come any closer!

Damian, you are
in a safe place.

My name is Paimon,
king demon and servant

of our father, Lucifer.

I have been tasked
as the protector

of the Seryph bloodline.

Damian, I must
show you the truth,

the truth about your past

that may gravely
affect your future.

The truth is in your mind's eye.

Your bloodline was created
by our great father

to protect the Earth
from the 14 demons

that were exiled
for their betrayal.

This was the last
time the Hellfire Club

attempted their plan.

Had Abatu shed his
skin, he and his legion

would've been unstoppable.

And they were very
close to succeeding

had it not been for
the Seryph bloodline.

That's him.

Yes, Ian Parrrish.

He once was a pupil of
your great-grandfather's.

This was Ian' first attempt
in completing the ritual

of the Seven Seals of Solomon.

Joseph thought he
had slain his cousin,

the one who had betrayed him,

but what he did not
know was that Abatu

had given Ian the
gift of immortality.

My nightmare.

It is time you remember.

Pay attention, son.

Some day this will be
your responsibility.

In the name of the infernal sky,

Hell in its dominion

casts you back into your prison.

By Cain, Moloch.

Damian!

Do what needs to be done!

I killed my father.

You had no choice.

Infernal
lord, protect us.

Infernal lord, protect us.

Son,

you must be strong.

You did the right thing.

It's not your fault.

I will always be with you.

When it is time, you will
need to take my place.

You'll be watched over
on Earth and from beyond.

Remember who you are.

Never forget how
much I love you, son.

No.

Why don't I remember this?

Because you weren't
ready and until you were

I did not allow it.

You are Damian Seryph,
son of William,

son of Michael, son of Joseph,

the earthly son of
Lucifer himself.

You are the last
protector of this world.

A new battle has emerged.

And now they have the dimming
box containing Moloch,

the one your father
gave his life for.

The veil of death is about
to be unleashed on the Earth

and you're the only
one who can stop them.

You must send Abatu back to
Hell so he can be judged.

It's time for you to
be what this world

was waiting for you to be,

what your father was and
his father before him.

Now wake up.

I'm so sorry.

Yeah.

I found him.

You were so right.

I'm sorry I doubted you.

Is Abigail there?

Yeah, I'm texting you.

Meet me out back.

Damian, let's keep this
between us for now.

You've reached the
voicemail of Frank Garrison.

Oh Frank, pick up.

You've
reached the voicemail...

Abi.

Damian.

We need to get outta here now.

We gotta go.

I'm gettin' it.

I got it.

Welcome Damian.

Take him.

I'm not afraid of you.

You should be.

Prepare him.

I will send you back to Hell.

Frank?

Just wouldn't let it
go, would ya, Damian?

And I worked so hard
to get you to drop it.

Just too stubborn, ya know.

This'll be over soon.

Innocent people are
dead 'cause of you.

Not innocent people, Damian.

Ignorant people.

People that get in
the way of destiny,

like you.

We were
family, Frank.

You disgust me.

We gather tonight
to usher in a new age

with our dark god, our king,

our infernal master.

We gather tonight
to offer sacrifice

for the Sixth Seal of Solomon.

Hail!

Receive our
master's blessing

and feel his blood coursing
through your veins.

And with the sacrifice

of the last remaining Seryph,

the Seven Seals of
Solomon shall be complete.

Hail!

The gates
of Heaven and Earth

shall be closed forever
and we shall rejoice

at the end of the war and
the dawn of a new age.

Our master shall shed
his earthly flesh

and lead us into glory!

Hail!

Commence.

It is over, Seryph.

Know that you will help
give birth to a new world.

You see?

You are the key, the key to
all of this, always have been.

With your blood
you're the last piece

to completing the ritual
and setting me free.

It's not over yet.

Children,

rise.

Bring in the sixth sacrifice.

Abigail.

Let her go!

Let her...

You weak piece of shit.

You belong in Hell,
Frank.

Shut up, idiot.

You can't stop this.

Ya never could.

This is fate, fate that
is finally upon us.

You are here just to bear
witness to the rise of Abatu.

I deny you.

I deny your powers.

You're not to be a vessel.

Go to him, child.

I'm so sorry.

I love you.

Behold the end
of the Golden Dawn.

Hail!

Hail.

Hail.

Hail.

Hail!

Hail!

Hail!

Hail!

Hail!

- I am
- Hail!

Damian

Seryph,

son of William,

son of Joseph,

son of Michael,

and son of Lucifer.

Abatu!

Damian.

Damian.

Damian.

You killed

everything I ever loved.

Seryph.

You found your power,
but I've had mine

since the beginning of time.

Your war is lost and you
shall give me vindication

as the true god of Earth.

Damian,

Damian.

you're going to die.

This

is my kingdom.

Hell

and a place where
you have no power.

Did you actually think you
could defeat me, Damian?

Hell lives within you, Damian.

And I rest.

Enough games, Abatu.

You think this is a game?

Oh.

You cower at the power
of the infernal world,

the power that gave you life.

You are a child,

weak, afraid.

You failed everyone
that's ever loved you.

Enough!

Damian,

look at yourself.

Broken, pathetic.

Victor,

Joan,

Abigail, all those that
protected you and died for you,

you have failed them.

Enough!

Damian.

Help me.

Damian the Seryph.

Back when I was
young and in my prime

I was the shadow of fear
amongst these streets.

Were ya now?

Yes,

cousin, I was.

You see, I know who I am

and what I am,

and I embrace it, but

you, you

you deny it.

You're weak,

pathetic,

just bring shame
on your bloodline.

How did you veer
so far off the path

of what you were put here to do?

History has
perverted me, Damian,

but it also gave me a purpose.

I as my father's son
traveled the world

in search of the Book
of Eternal Darkness.

Abatu gave me back my
life, my immortality.

His blood runs through my veins.

I know who I am and what I am.

I am darkness.

I am death.

And

through me all that you love

will be destroyed.

You are finished.

Your eternal cage shall
be that of your failures,

misery, and loneliness.

No.

I banish you from this world
and send you back to Hell.

Oh, Abi.

I'm so sorry.

Was the ritual successful?

It was not.

- Garrison?
- Dead.

- The Magus?
- Dead,

along with the rest of Hellfire.

And Abatu?

Sent back to Hell.

Now I warned you of the cost.

If you all would've listened
instead of letting your ego

and arrogance rule you none of
this would've ever happened.

Now I told you to let
me kill the Seryph

when I had the chance and now...

Silence!

Your grave disrespect
will not be tolerated.

Mind your tongue, elder.

Speak, son.

Damian Seryph has become,

I present to you our lord Moloch

for the Circle of Nine
and for you, Father.

Abatu has played his part.

The legions still walk
amongst the living.

And they will feast
upon this world

bringing chaos and death.

Seryph has removed
those too weak

to fulfill their duties,

but there are more.

Many more.

And Moloch will be free again.

I'll be right there.

I have come to accept my
destiny and my birthright.

I shall protect this world
from all that may endanger it,

seeking to bring
darkness to the light.

I am no longer a
detective for the living

but a seeker of
justice for those

that threaten the balance.

I am the devil of devils.

Whispers amongst the darkness
have given me a name,

one that all those who
oppose me will come to fear.

I am the Demonologist.

It's not what the
demons, no prison knot,

no shifts in
slavery.
