00:00Previously on Constantine, my name is John Constantine.
00:06Exorcist, demonologist, and master of the dark art.
00:10There's a darkness rising, John.
00:11People can sense what's on the way.
00:13It's happening everywhere.
00:14If you figure out what we're up against, I will use that knowledge to save lives.
00:19What about my life, eh?
00:20You damned a girl to hell, long-wissing your soul.
00:24At least for the moment, anyway.
00:25You're suggesting that it's not too late for me to save my soul.
00:27That mean you're going to help us.
00:29I'll walk my path alone.
00:31Because let's be honest, who'd be crazy enough to walk it with me?
00:57Bad day?
00:58Linus?
01:03Three more of my shift threatened to quit today.
01:05Candy asses.
01:08Are you still hearing the sounds?
01:10Don't you start in to put me in charge of a bunch of Johnny Newcombs, barely old enough to shave.
01:16There's nothing down in that mind for him to hear.
01:18Why don't you go on and get yourself cleaned up, love?
01:26Dinner ready when you get out.
01:30I'm hungry now.
01:33It's not ready.
01:34I'll drink.
01:46It's...
01:54I'll drink.
01:56Oh, my God.
02:26What the hell?
02:56Ah, working on your skills?
03:06Just one. Patience.
03:08Where the bloody hell have you been?
03:11I had to wait till the Daily Double.
03:13It's your only pick that paid off.
03:19Capnomancy isn't an exact magic.
03:22Divining the future through the movements of rising smoke.
03:26It's a tricky business.
03:28I would think you'd be an expert.
03:31Saddle up. We're heading to Pennsylvania.
03:35Now, look at the map.
03:36One of the drops is wet.
03:38Our destination is the tiny town of Hedich.
03:42According to local papers,
03:44a mining boss was just flash-fried in his shower.
03:47Well, you're on your own.
03:48Pennsylvania, the succubus on a freight train.
03:52That warrant still stands.
03:54Funny what a long memory the law has when it comes to train derailments.
03:57Oh, that's the next day.
03:58...
04:04More attention.
04:06Yes!
04:07Let's go to another town...
04:08Oh, can we see?
04:09I think snow is a little bit...
04:10Oh!
04:11Oh!
04:12Oh!
04:13Oh!
04:14Oh!
04:15Oh!
04:16Oh!
04:17Who are you?
04:31You're really starting to piss me off.
04:47Oh, I'm so sorry.
04:55Oh, the apologies are all mine, love.
04:58Let's get you sorted, yeah?
05:00There's one thing I know my way around.
05:02It's rubbish.
05:05It's you.
05:07You're you.
05:09That observation always ends in the same way,
05:12and it's never in my favor.
05:14I dream about you.
05:15I was starting to believe you weren't real.
05:21Who are you?
05:27Some kind of carnival quick-drawer artist, are we?
05:30Perched and peeking in her window,
05:32scratch out the visage of some poor lonely sod
05:34and then bump into him as if you're his long-lost lover.
05:38Tongue in his ear and in his pocket, I bet.
05:41It's a nice play, love, but I think I'll sit this one out.
05:43No.
05:44Here's the dirty blonde hair.
05:46The curled lip and the bad posture.
05:48I have excellent posture.
05:49Have you seen it all?
05:49Well, not well, apparently.
05:56There.
05:59Eyes are much darker than this one.
06:01No, I don't know who you are.
06:05Please.
06:05Okay.
06:07You want answers.
06:12One artist to another.
06:16In light.
06:18I always find mine.
06:19John Constantine.
06:35John Constantine.
06:43Stout.
06:46That kind of irony is hard to ignore, isn't it?
06:53Town symbol being a dragon and this sorry soul being burned alive.
06:58So what's your take on what happened?
07:02Fire through the pipes?
07:03It's rare.
07:04What happens in mining towns?
07:06Well, maybe if there's fracking.
07:07But isn't this the land of hard rock mining?
07:10What do you know about it?
07:11Grew up in Liverpool, mate.
07:14Breathed in more coal dust and fresh air as a lad.
07:16Lannis!
07:19Must have been a good bloke.
07:22Lannis was a bastard.
07:24We'll have to close the mine for the day.
07:26Fellas around here don't need an invitation to get a skinfall.
07:29Another picture, Charlie.
07:32Have you considered actual dragons as the guilty party?
07:36There's no natural explanation of what happened to poor Lannis, is there?
07:39You got that right.
07:40There weren't no dragon that took Lannis and the others.
07:43The others?
07:44I know.
07:44There's all in the last year.
07:45They died like this bloke.
07:49Mine and accidents.
07:51Some of the boys are saying we dug a little too deep.
07:54Knocked on the door of hell, and now hell's knocking back.
07:57Someone heard knocking?
07:58Yeah.
07:59Down in that godforsaken tunnel.
08:15Down in that godforsaken tunnel.
08:16Down in that godforsaken tunnel.
08:17Down in that godforsaken tunnel.
08:18Down in that godforsaken tunnel.
08:19Down in that godforsaken tunnel.
08:20Down in that godforsaken tunnel.
08:21Down in that godforsaken tunnel.
08:22Down in that godforsaken tunnel.
08:23Down in that godforsaken tunnel.
08:24Down in that godforsaken tunnel.
08:25Down in that godforsaken tunnel.
08:26Down in that godforsaken tunnel.
08:27Down in that godforsaken tunnel.
08:28Down in that godforsaken tunnel.
08:29Down in that godforsaken tunnel.
08:30Down in that godforsaken tunnel.
08:31Down in that godforsaken tunnel.
08:32Down in that godforsaken tunnel.
08:33Down in that godforsaken tunnel.
08:34Down in that godforsaken tunnel.
08:35Whoa.
09:05I don't know.
09:35I don't know.
10:05I don't know.
10:35I don't know.
11:05I don't know.
11:35My husband's death hit me very hard.
11:38You've got some coal there on your arm.
11:42Oh, you can't escape it around here.
11:47The soot, the grime, seeps into every pore and fiber.
11:53This doesn't really make sense, does it?
11:55And if you don't mind me asking, what do you think happened?
12:00Does it really matter?
12:02Linus is gone.
12:04If you help me, I might write a story that celebrates his life.
12:07Because our life was just one big celebration.
12:10Sorry.
12:12You're sweet.
12:18You know, have you had rumors that there's something not natural down in that mine?
12:26Your husband never talk about it.
12:27You want a story?
12:28You want a story?
12:29Yeah.
12:30Okay.
12:31I have one for you.
12:34It's about a Romany girl.
12:36She got letters from a man, a rich man,
12:40who wanted to marry her, make her his queen.
12:44Said he was the captain of industry.
12:50Failed to mention it was coal.
12:53Now, will that story sell papers?
12:56We can talk at a later date.
12:58It's fine.
12:59Why?
13:01I'm free now.
13:08Look, you're a lovely bird and everything, but I'll help you.
13:14Get out!
13:15All right, I'm going.
13:16All right, I'm leaving.
13:17Get out!
13:18I'm going!
13:20You're gone!
13:21All right, all right, I'm going.
13:22There's no need to cause a fuss, all right?
13:23Someone get him out!
13:24Who is this?
13:26He says he's a reporter.
13:30Hey!
13:31Hey!
13:31Hey!
13:32Nobody messes with my people.
13:37What is it you want here?
13:40It's as the lady said.
13:42I'm a reporter.
13:44Check him.
13:57I'm going to ask you one more time.
13:59Who the hell are you?
14:02I take it you're the boss of the mine.
14:04Yes, I'm the president of the North Penn Mining Company.
14:07You're upsetting the widow of one of my respected men.
14:11We both know that's not true.
14:13Take it easy, Thad.
14:14It might be with environmental protection.
14:17This one, no chance.
14:19Oh, in a way, your associate, that is not wrong.
14:21You've got a not-so-natural disaster down in that mine.
14:26You know it, and I know it.
14:29And what I can't figure out is why it's come above ground to kill one of your men.
14:33You listen to me.
14:37I don't know what sleazy tabloid you write for, but I got my hands filled here with scared miners.
14:42The biggest threat to them are parasites like you, spreading panic and fear.
14:49You heard it as well, didn't you?
14:54Then knock it.
14:55Go home.
15:25Well, I'll give you this.
15:30You are persistent.
15:33The honeymoon suite?
15:34I always get the honeymoon suite.
15:37Lots of extra space.
15:39There's a good energy to it.
15:41You dropped this.
15:48There was 90 quid in there.
15:49You must have dropped that, too.
15:53You know, I describe you to the very nice young man.
15:55The front desk.
15:56And he said you're registered under the name of, um, Caligari.
16:00Bud.
16:01Caligari.
16:03But your ID and the boarding pass I found on your trash can says your name is John Constantine.
16:09The rubbish, again.
16:10You're a girl after my own heart.
16:13Zed.
16:14How do you know my name?
16:15Credit card receipt from your trash.
16:17So I did make an impression.
16:18Well, call me Barmy, but I like to know who's stalking me.
16:21I'm not stalking you.
16:22You know, you've just been in my head for months.
16:24And then, you know, all of a sudden you're here.
16:27Don't you want to know why?
16:27I don't seek answers to questions that needn't be asked.
16:30Well, I do.
16:31I don't know anything about you, but I feel like I should.
16:33Running into each other today, that's destiny.
16:36Well, if it's destiny that you're after, then maybe you should take that 90 quid and put it on the lottery.
16:40You mean something to me.
16:42You know what?
16:42Maybe I mean something to you, too.
16:44A reason to elevate my personal security.
16:47I have visions I can't control.
16:50And sometimes feelings.
16:53Listen, Zed.
16:56I'm starting to like you a little bit.
16:58But not enough to let you stay.
16:59So if you don't mind, you can...
17:00What is that?
17:05Loneliness.
17:07Pain.
17:09Desperation.
17:10These things motivate you.
17:17What kind of person is motivated by these things?
17:24Someone should kill John Constantine.
17:34Class sentient.
17:37Or maybe just a good guesser.
17:40Okay.
17:42You want answers?
17:45Let's see what you got.
17:46Pack it.
17:49You'll do everything I say.
17:50You understand?
17:51Yes.
17:52Close your eyes.
17:54I want you to see an image in your mind.
17:57It's a total whiteout.
17:59Absorbing all sound.
18:01Except for the sound of my voice.
18:07Are you with me?
18:10Good.
18:13There's a white dove lost in a snowstorm.
18:17You need to save it.
18:20Hold out your hand.
18:21Open your senses.
18:23And let the dove come to you.
18:26Now.
18:27Zed.
18:27Zed.
18:37Zed.
18:41Zed.
18:42Zed.
18:50You saw the fire.
18:51Was that the man in town?
18:56Who was burning?
18:58What else did he see?
19:01A tall cross.
19:02All right.
19:08You did a cracking job.
19:10I'll wait on to something new to me.
19:14I'm just going to take a quick change.
19:17Now we're going to get to the bottom of this, all right?
19:20All right.
19:20John?
19:31John?
19:40John?
19:40Constantine!
20:11You'll make yourself known if you know what's good for you.
20:24Really? In a church?
20:28Sorry.
20:29Don't apologize to me, mate.
20:33Put your clothes on, will you?
20:35What's this business?
20:40Just a story, you know, meant to be scary.
20:44Tall man, you know, face follows you home, peeps in your window.
20:48It's just not very original.
20:52Alright, go on, run home.
21:05U.S.
21:15Paul, I'm not a star!
21:18You're a star!
21:19I'm going to have a dream!
21:21I'm going to go on my way!
21:24I'm panchita!
21:54Have you seen an Englishman?
22:15He wears a trench coat.
22:17Sticky with a bar tab, too?
22:19My advice, don't waste yourself on that one.
22:21I don't have a choice.
22:23My son had that effect when he was alive.
22:28Left behind clutches of weepy girls who swore he was the only one to give their life meaning.
22:35It's not like that.
22:40It's like that, but not the way you think.
22:42I mean, it's just that he means something to me.
22:45I don't know what.
22:47There was a time when people came to me for answers.
22:51But now our barkeep hears more confessions in one day than I used to hear in a month of Sundays.
22:55Here you go.
22:57So your son's the reason you left your faith?
23:01I left the church when the mind swallowed him.
23:06But I didn't leave my faith.
23:08Can't say I had much to begin with.
23:10Faith is an unshakable acceptance with no room for doubt.
23:16I'll never have that now.
23:21Cursed mine is seen to that.
23:25Cursed mine is seen to that.
23:27Cursed mine is seen to that.
23:32Hello, love. Is it morning already?
23:48You leave when I want you, and you're here when I don't.
23:54I'll make it easy for you.
23:57Get out!
23:58Get out!
23:59Oh, don't be that way, love.
24:01I have to verify that which you provided.
24:04A strict security protocol is in fact required in my business.
24:08I still don't know what you do.
24:09I am, as you have so conventionally portrayed, an exorcist, demonologist, and occasional dabbler in the dark arts.
24:24Now, the question is, who are you?
24:28I'm Zed.
24:29Right.
24:30Zed Martin.
24:31I found your three-month lease.
24:34So, what's Chica Benita in her mid-twenties doing slumming it in a one-horse Welsh mining town in the middle of Pennsylvania?
24:43I travel a lot.
24:44Right.
24:46Well, there's only two types of people who travel a lot.
24:51Those in the circus and those on the run.
24:56And, curiously, I'm not seeing any funny wigs or face paint.
25:01I know what I'm running from.
25:03Do you?
25:05You came to me, not the other way around.
25:08You step into my world.
25:10You'll be staring down demons, devils, and the like.
25:13Those things in your paintings, they're real.
25:17Yeah.
25:19That won't be bad memories nipping at your heels.
25:25But the scourge of hell gunning for your soul.
25:28And when the bell rings, then you best be ready, willing, and able to answer with something far more deadlier than a charcoal pencil.
25:38Now, if you can handle that, then we can talk business.
25:41If not, then we go our separate ways, and I never see your pretty little face again.
25:48I ain't going nowhere.
25:49Is that what I think it is?
25:50The mine collapsed.
25:51Hey!
25:52Hey, what happened here?
25:53It all came down right on top of us.
25:54Before it happened, knocking.
25:55Did you hear knocking?
25:56Yeah.
25:57It's in there.
25:58Yeah.
25:59It's in there.
26:00Ah, yeah.
26:01Oh!
26:02Oh!
26:03Oh!
26:04Oh!
26:05Oh!
26:06Oh!
26:07Oh!
26:08Oh!
26:09Oh!
26:10Oh, oh!
26:11Oh!
26:12Oh!
26:13No!
26:14It's in there!
26:15Growing up?
26:16Oh!
26:17No!
26:18Oh!
26:19Oh!
26:20Oh!
26:21Oh!
26:22Oh!
26:23Oh!
26:24Thanks, mate.
26:41John!
26:48If Dad catches you here, he's going to make good all that...
26:50Men are dying in your mind.
26:54Five years ago, Hedish was dead.
27:00Norpin saved this town.
27:02They said the mine was tapped out, but we gave it new life.
27:05Because you're a rogue operation.
27:07Digging unauthorized tunnels into regions of the Earth where mortal man has no rightful place.
27:12It's true, isn't it?
27:15What the miners are saying?
27:18They hear sounds.
27:20And they'll keep on hearing them.
27:22And people will keep dying.
27:24Until you shut down that mine.
27:32What is that?
27:33What the hell?
27:39We need something to break the windows now.
27:41Get out of the seat!
27:42What the hell?
27:43Damn it!
27:43Okay!
27:44I'm just kidding.
27:45Get out of here!
27:49No!
28:14Are you okay?
28:16Oh, yeah, I had it under control.
28:17You almost drowned in mud.
28:18No, I was thinking up a spell in my head.
28:21Go check on the driver.
28:39Don't torture yourself over it, love.
28:41There was nothing we could do for the blighter.
28:43And the last thing we want to do is stick around
28:45and get drawn into a police investigation.
28:46I don't understand.
28:47What was the car?
28:48It's the price of doing business with yours truly.
28:51I tried to warn you.
28:52I know.
28:53Still here.
28:54Piss off.
28:55Piss off.
28:56There's nothing to look at.
28:58What's going on?
28:59Back home.
29:00What's going on?
29:01What's going on?
29:02What's going on?
29:03What's going on?
29:04What's going on?
29:05What's going on?
29:06What are they do?
29:07It's gonna run out?
29:09What's going on?
29:10The code is going to be kitchen.
29:11I'll go of the publishing center.
29:12This is my labor of the slaughter.
29:13Oh, my business is new.
29:14Oh, this is a component of barn.
29:15I'm in my operativeÙ„.
29:16I'm in my office.
29:17Yeah.
29:18Traditional Cobb and I, they never rise to the surface, and they certainly don't murder.
29:23So what's the explanation?
29:25Could be the rise in darkness.
29:28Something's forcing evil to the surface in waves.
29:31It's changing the rules.
29:33I'm sensing a little of the human touch.
29:36Like someone's calling these spirits on purpose.
29:40Nothing says payback better than death by demon.
29:42If I'm right, then someone's conjuring these bad boys from close by.
29:49Like a miner.
29:51I heard that they're all gathering at the pub for an emergency meeting.
29:55I think we need to change, love.
29:57I'll meet you there.
30:00All right, look, if you're just going to fly out the hand or turn this into some kind of a spook show,
30:05then I have nothing to say to you right now.
30:08Crazy rumors aren't confessed to anyone.
30:09Curious.
30:10Skeptical drunks know where to be seen.
30:12I'm the ex-priest.
30:14Come again?
30:15Alice.
30:16He used to be a priest before his son died in the mines, which could be a good cause for payback.
30:24And when I gave you the slip yesterday, I found evidence of one of those slutty things being raised in an abandoned church outside of town.
30:31The church that Alice turned his back on.
30:34So he could be the one that's conjuring the evil for revenge?
30:38Come with me.
30:40I'm taking you for a spin.
30:41Excuse me, mate.
30:43Look, me lady, she's having a bit of a turn, you know.
30:46Do you mind if we accommodate your seat here?
30:47Is that all right?
30:48Oh, thanks a lot, mate.
30:48Thanks.
30:52Take a seat.
30:52I get it, okay?
30:56This is his stool, his spot where he dreams, but I can't control my visions.
30:59Well, you did yesterday.
31:01Just remember what I told you.
31:02Now close your eyes.
31:08Lock out the world.
31:14It's cold.
31:14What's that, love?
31:15My feet.
31:17Slowly, without losing the vision, open your eyes.
31:27Look at your feet.
31:28There's a river.
31:33There's a waterfall.
31:35There's a waterfall.
31:37I'll stay in the vision.
31:39Look for clues.
31:40There's a tent and an old chair in front of it like a sofa chair.
31:45It looks like a campground.
31:48You two decide yet?
31:50Charlie, is there a campground on a river hereabouts?
31:56Rooster Creek's the closest.
31:57Rooster Creek.
31:59How can such a wicked man be capable of so much destruction?
32:02Well, people aren't all good and they aren't all wicked.
32:05Here, bristles up to ward off evil.
32:08What are you going to use?
32:09My wits.
32:09Are you the Pastor Alice McGee of the Good Shepherd Church of St. Asaph?
32:18Not anymore.
32:21You know it.
32:38Of course I know it.
32:40You breastplate of St. Patrick.
32:42What the hell's going on here?
32:44I'm here to end your spiritual warfare.
32:47Your skills to channel the divine can also be used to unleash evil.
32:51You think I'm behind the killings in this town?
32:53Your desecrated church has all the power of evil you need, mate.
32:57You need faith to raise evil.
32:59In case you haven't noticed here, I'm all tapped out.
33:03You know, John, maybe we should listen to him.
33:05Fools, you ought to get your head out of the hogwash.
33:07You can't even see the facts right in front of you.
33:09Like what?
33:10The men killed above ground?
33:12They got miners of the bosses in charge.
33:15He's finally making them pay.
33:23You might be right.
33:24How many of the bosses are left?
33:26Just one.
33:27Owner of the company, Tad Bowman.
33:30You have our supplies in your car, right?
33:32Yeah.
33:34Spray paint's what we need.
33:35Come on.
33:37Come on.
33:43Coming, boy.
33:45Yeah, I'm right here, Dad.
33:48Peterson said he cleared the east shaft.
33:50But I also know that little yellow-belly was scared to go down there.
33:54I want to see it for myself before the men start showing up again at first light.
33:57Listen, you really think that this is a good idea?
33:59Opening their mind after what happened yesterday?
34:01Men want to work, boy.
34:03You got to respect that.
34:04Now, it's clear to me.
34:21Let's check the down shaft.
34:22You really think we should be doing this?
34:33Don't you start, boy.
34:41Jason!
34:41It is real.
34:54Paint.
35:04Protector of Earth.
35:07Guardian of the soils of Foundation.
35:11You're welcome in this sacred space.
35:14By the Earth that is your body.
35:17And the wisdom of the ancients.
35:21Hail and farewell.
35:34What did we do?
35:36I reminded it of what it is.
35:38A protective spirit.
35:40As I said, Cobble and I are peaceful buggers at heart.
35:48He's still breathing.
35:49He's okay.
35:51This one's not so lucky.
35:53Que Dios lo bendiga.
35:58So we're back where we started from.
35:59These handprints.
36:04I've seen this before.
36:06Where?
36:09We need to make sure that no one comes down here again.
36:12Ever.
36:13Take him home.
36:14What are you going to do?
36:15There's only one thing I can think of.
36:17What's the priest doing here?
36:30He needs to be here to see this.
36:34He did good earlier.
36:36If I fail to mention it.
36:37Well, now I know what line of work you do.
36:39It's not for everyone, love.
36:40So after this, you find a nice, quiet new town.
36:48Yeah.
36:49Because I'm that kind of a...
36:52Chica bonita.
36:54We really don't want to be standing here.
36:59Sometimes appeals of faith just need a little time to be answered.
37:02Care to do the honors?
37:13For my son.
37:25I need your car keys.
37:27They're in the truck.
37:28Where are you going?
37:29To do the hard part, of course.
37:31We just blowed the mine.
37:32That we did.
37:33And the Cobb and I will stay at rest if they're left alone.
37:35But someone with a very powerful magic summoned them to the surface in the first place.
37:41This isn't over.
37:47We're a reporter, right?
37:49Billy Enquirer.
37:52Can I come in?
37:54I'm afraid I have guests.
37:57I know who killed your husband.
37:59In that case...
38:01I think you should meet my guests.
38:05Well, aren't you going to invite me in then?
38:08No need.
38:13Now, you had news for me?
38:16I'll give you one chance.
38:20Send your pets away and I'll spare you.
38:22How did you know?
38:24A coal mark on your arm.
38:26When I first met you.
38:27I saw one just like it on a young lad the Cobb and I were trying to kill.
38:31And then...
38:32I remembered what you said.
38:33I remembered what you said.
38:36You're Roman and I.
38:39There's nothing blacker than gypsy magic.
38:41When I left home, I promised myself I'd never use my family's magic again.
38:47And then it all came back to me.
38:49More powerfully than ever before.
38:51The only reason you could do what you did is because there's a darkness spreading everywhere.
38:59Even to lonesome little backwaters like Heditch.
39:02It's infecting you.
39:03No.
39:06You're wrong.
39:07Send these poor swords back to where they belong.
39:14Kill him.
39:20You forgot one thing, you stupid butt.
39:24These are the spirits of dead miners and your husband that you murdered was a miner.
39:28Oh, restless spirit of this house.
39:31I summon thee to seek thy revenge.
39:33Oh, oh, oh.
39:44Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
39:46Lannis, no!
39:49No!
39:50Lannis, no!
40:00Lannis, no!
40:01moving in are we you wish well I'm afraid I'm in no mood for spouting tonight
40:25darling of course not you almost died I just wanted to make sure you're okay no you didn't
40:36you just wanted to make sure I didn't run out on you again is that the plan listen Zed there's
40:44no denying that you provide moderate value in the field I saved your life oh that's open to debate
40:50the truth is I work best alone me too I always put myself first and that's the only way I've
40:56survived everyone who puts their trust in me dies because you got me
41:06you see John I've been waiting for you and you found me and I don't know what I've been waiting
41:20for and you don't know what you found the question is are we going to help each other out or not
41:27if you'll excuse me I'm bloody knackered
41:41I suppose it could be liberating to take a leap of faith to shrug off the burden of proof for the
42:03promise of hope it takes trust to turn darkness to light and those who trust risk putting their
42:10faith in their own hands for there are those who pray for you and there are those who pray on you
42:17and no matter how careful you are sometimes you just can't tell the difference
