Our numbers have grown

since the wasteland.

He doesn't matter anymore.

He has allies.

When the ritual is completed

they won't matter either.

If the entire world stands

against us it won't matter.

But until that moment

we are vulnerable.

Then destroy him.

Okay, first things first.

Who fancies a beer?

Do you have water?

Nothing for me.

How am I supposed

to trust someone

I can't have a drink with?

Where are you from?

Here and there. I spend most

of my time in the Holy Land.

Dangerous place nowadays.

Always has been.

And you've been around for

a lot of it haven't you?

You're more perceptive

than your friend.

I wouldn't call us friends.

Oil I heard that!

But we are allies

at the moment,

and I hope to say

the same of you.

Usually when people are

immune to possession

it's because they're

already under the sway

of a greater power.

Usually but not always.

My clan was descended

from warrior priests,

we're trained for more

than one kind of battle.

And him?

I got no soul.

You have no soul?

Nope, lost it when I was dead.

Along with a chunk of spleen

and my left pinkie toe.

What about you?

Unburied knowledge.

The death sentence of my order.

Order?

The Knights of the

Temple of Solomon.

Oh, Knights Templar, figures.

Don't look so surprised.

I just didn't think

someone with your...

Stunning good looks?

Care free nature, would

be a student of history.

It's a common misconception,

understanding the

mistakes of the past

will prevent them in the

future.

I'm living proof that

understanding doesn't

help one God damned bit.

At least your honest.

So the three of us,

each for our own reasons

are immune to

Legion's domination.

Legion?

That's what they

call themselves.

They're a collective

of demonic souls,

several thousands of them.

You've faced them before?

I thought I'd

destroyed them

in an empty wasteland

centuries ago.

Centuries, wow. Who's

your plastic surgeon?

And now that they've made

their home here in the middle

of the city, I'm not so sure

they can be destroyed.

If not they'll

over run the world.

A couple thousand of 'em?

The priest who told me to find

you said this was

-...only the beginning.

-He's right.

They plan on drawing one of

the kingdoms of hell

to their banner and bringing it

into the world.

How big is a kingdom?

Millions.

The question is, how

will they bring it here?

Absolutely the most

f***ed up day...

Worse than that

Mexican prison...

When I was a child, there were

tales of ancient sages

who could open the

gates of the abyss.

We have our own tales, but

those sages have been dead

and gone for thousands of

years.

Ours too.
