By morphing his symbiotic suit to match the soldiers, Spawn infiltrates the compound where Wynn has reinforced security. He successfully severs communication and power systems to cripple the battalions, leaving a terrified Wynn trapped. Spawn threatens Wynn with the promise to undermine his operations until nothing remains of his international empire. In the alley, Sam & Twitch get no information from the bums about Spawn. Cog then fills them in on facts that create more questions.
