Synopsis:
After his encounter with Mnemoth, Constantine returns to Papa Midnite's club. Gary Lester is locked up to be used as bait for the demon. At dawn Midnite performs a ritual to summon the demon. It enters Lester's body, then Constantine binds the demon inside using tattoos. Lester is then placed in a straight jacket and taken to a cell in Midnite's dungeon. After Lester and the demon consume each other, the cell is sealed forever. Lester's spirit then joins the ghosts that haunt Constantine.
