Synopsis:
Jason Blood is contacted by the mother of a child possessed by a demon. He is reluctant to help, but Glenda Mark convinces him to go. Jason performs an exorcism to remove the demon Malefik from the boy. The demon then attacks Jason, who releases Etrigan. The Demon destroys Malefik before turning his attention to the boy.
