into his good graces.
Impossible rules, endless regulations...
...who goes up, who goes down
and why.
You don't even understand us.
You' re the one who should go
to hell, half-breed.
Why me, Gabriel?
It's personal, isn't it?
I didn't go to church enough,
I didn't pray enough...
... I was 5 bucks short
in the collection plate. Why?
You are going to die young...
... because you smoked 30 cigarettes
a day since you were 1 5.
And you' re going to go to hell...
... because of the life you took.
You' re fucked.
At least it's nice out.
He always had a rotten sense of humor.
And his punch lines are killers.
John!
Constantine, it's raining! John! Hey!
Twenty-two women were found buried
in the assailant's back yard.
So much damage had been done
to the bodies, police had to match....
Police report she had been
physically penetrated...
... over 1 00 times and buried alive.
--found locked in a storage freezer,
his head severed and his organs....
He stuffed Holly 's body into....
- The bodies ravished by the unknown....
-He used a small handsaw....
Had nearly decapitated....
Even his eyes were gouged out.
Isabel.
I ' m so sorry, lzzy.
constantine.
Dodson.
Hello?
Hello.
Hello?
Hey. Hey, buddy, got a light?
Should've minded
your own business, exorcist.
I know where you' re going, John.
You' re going to Midnite's.
You' re supposed to wait in the cab.
It's a haven for those who rise and fall.
I remember reading about this, John.
-You read too much, kid. It's a bar.
-It's a bar?
It's a bar. Papa Midnite is a crusader for
good. He swore the oath of neutrality.
-John, the man's a legend.
-Yeah.
Can you please get me
into this bar, John, please?
I' m begging you, John, please?
-Sure, you can get in.
-I can get in?
If you can get in.
If I can get--? It's a bear, though, right?
Or two ducks in a cloud?
Two frogs on a bench.
Two frogs on a bench.
No, no, l' m with the guy you just--
John! John!
I' m with him, though.
Rat in a dress.
Of course it is. Rat in a dress.
I' m just testing. I' m just testing.
Don't get up.
You've been absent some time.
Have you come here with relics to sell?
No, l' m out of that now.
I've been too busy.
Perhaps peddling forgeries has ended up
being bad for your health.
Midnite, Jesus...
... I thought the thing was authentic.
I see now.
Your health is bad for other reasons.
How long?
A few months, maybe a year.
I thought I heard thunder last night.
Must have been
Satan's stomach growling.
You' re the one soul he'd come
up here himself to collect.
So I've heard.
Well, I am most certain
you did not come here...
...for a sympathetic shoulder
to cry on.
A demon just attacked me,
right out in the open on Figueroa.
They don't like you, John.
How many have you
deported back to hell?
Not some angry half-breed, Midnite.
A full-fledged demon, here, on our plane.
Clearly I do not have to remind you
that is impossible.
And yesterday I saw a soldier demon...
...trying to chew its way out
through a little girl.
Listen, John, demons stay in hell,
angels in heaven...
...the great dйtente
of the original superpowers.
Thanks for the history lesson, Midnite.
You've been a tremendous help.
Now...
... I need to use the chair.
John, forgetting the fact that it would
almost certainly kill you...
...you know I am neutral.
And as long as the balance
is maintained, I take no sides.
Before you were a bartender...
...you were one witch doctor
against, what, 30 Ashgar?
-And l--
-You were Constantine.
The John Constantine.
Once.
This isn't the usual game, I can feel it.
Something's coming.
Spooky.
Balthazar.
That expression alone
has made my entire night.
I'll make your night.
I'll deport your sorry ass right where
you stand, you half-breed shit!
You know the rules of my house.
While here, you will abide by them.
Johnny boy.
Word is you' re on your way down.
Fresh meat.
Finger-licking good.
We have a meeting now,
