In the alley Spawn and Cogliostro argue. Cogliostro tries to tell Spawn to forget about his former life. It is time for the Hellspawn to forget the past and worry about the future. He tells Spawn that he and Wynn are entangled. That Malebolgia has always guided both their lives. Spawn demands that the old man say who he is and Cogliostro confesses that the dark one, Malebolgia was once his master too. He knows that if Spawn kills Wynn he will deliver Wynn to the fold and in turn, do Malebolgia's bidding. Killing Wynn would only make the master and Wynn stronger.

Cogliostro gives Spawn one last warning: "I can show you how to break the curse, but you have to stop the savage killing."

Spawn is not convinced. Wynn will die, he says, and to Hell with him.

Angered by all that has gone wrong, Jason Wynn attempts to have Lisa Wu killed because she is so close to uncovering the truth, but Spawn is there to prevent the murder. He kills the agents and sends Wynn a message that he is coming for him. Wynn is ready. He has the building sealed off and traps set. When Spawn shows up he will be exposed and captured. But Spawn has other ideas. Floor by floor, guard by guard, the Hellspawn climbs closer to Wynn until finally he is there in his office. Jason Wynn and Spawn; face to face.

Wynn recognized the Hellspawn's voice but can't believe it's really Al Simmons. Al Simmons is dead. Spawn pins Wynn to a wall and prepares to do him in, but the Hellspawn cannot get Cogliostro's words out of his head. They have an effect on Spawn. Instead of killing Wynn, Spawn tells him to leave Terry and Wanda alone, or next time they meet, he will kill him. Wynn is defeated. He orders Terry to be freed using his many ught to do once freed, was kill. Spill more blood. There was one voice of reason that pulled Simmons back from the brink. Major Fosberg. He tried to tell Simmons not to let the demons take hold. But Simmons thought only of revenge, and at that moment, Hell took notice.
