Spawn: The Animated Series
Season Two

Episode One
home, bitter home

Where do the dead belong in the world of the living? For this newest Spawn, moments of peace never come.
Winter. Memories of his life as Al Simmons continue to haunt Spawn as more and more realizations about who he was and what he did come into view. Of the most painful is the realization that Al Simmons was murdered and burned by his partner, a fellow mercenary known as Chapel. This realization is one that Clown takes great joy in as he persists in taunting, haunting and tormenting the anguished HellSpawn, trying to push him over the edge.
Meanwhile, Jason Wynn continues his climb for more and more power as he sells his illegal arms to both sides of civil wars, and plots his next sinister move. Among his many concerns are the stolen weapons that were taken by Spawn. The weapons are a loose end that are traceable to Wynn, an oversight he cannot afford to let slip through the cracks. To insure the guns safe return, Chapel is sent to track down the thief, return the arsenal and kill the perpetrator.
Rat City. Gunfire sprays the narrow, trash-filled corridor. Chapel has arrived eager to spill a little blood. After rousting a few of the homeless, Chapel discovers that he is looking for a guy named Al, not suspecting that the one he seeks is not only his dead partner, but also a HellSpawn
Wary of his boss, Terry Fitzgerald has begun his own investigation of missing, and stolen arms. Unfortunately for Terry, Wynn discovers what he is up to. Wanda has become troubled as she worries about Terry and wonders where the ring Cyan found came from. The ring she gave to Al, her dead husband.
Back in the alley Spawn has revealed himself to Chapel. Still not suspecting who Spawn really is, Chapel attempts to play tough with the costumed hero, and spits in his face. Bad move. Spawn moves in on the mercenary and all at once it starts to come back. Spawn remembers Chapel. He torments Chapel and in the end reveals that he is Al Simmons, the man that Chapel murdered. Chapel can't take the shock of this revelation, and his mind snaps like a twig. But before his former partner descends into madness, Spawn discovers that it was Jason Wynn who ordered Al Simmons death.

Episode Two
access denied

Spawn is tortured, and tormented by relentless dreams of Terry sleeping with Wanda. Nightmares where the two of them are happy to be rid of Al Simmons, happy that he's dead. They are the distorted fever dreams of a HellSpawn twisted by the ugly hand of Clown and his boss, Malebolgia. Clown tries to get Spawn to blame Terry for stealing his wife, and ruining his life. Clown will do anything to prod the HellSpawn and turn him into the evil leader of the damned that he was born to be.
Meanwhile, Terry is being framed by Jason Wynn because of the private investigation that Terry has been running in order to expose Wynn for selling illegal arms to outlaw countries. The frame-job is clever and air-tight. Terry is in deep trouble. To make matters worse, Wynn sends MERRICK, a company assassin to kill Fitzgerald. Spawn is there every step of the way, tracking Terry, and putting down the hit-men as he goes. He doesn't want anybody else to kill Fitzgerald, because Spawn wants him for himself.
Downtown, detectives Burke and Twitch find Chapel, but get very little information from the catatonic killer. For the cops, however, it is one more step on the path to the mysterious HellSpawn that has haunted their lives. Wynn gets word that his man has been captured, and chalks it up as another disappointment.
Spawn continues to track Terry as Terry uncovers proof that Wynn is selling illegal arms. Spawn is unsure of his won intentions, obscured by the torturous suggestions of Clown. But in the end, Spawn rejects Clowns accusations, and accepts that Terry is now married to Wanda. Spawn sees in Terry's eyes that he had nothing to do with the death of Al Simmons. He saves Terry's life for Wanda's sake, and as the last scene fades, Cogliostro tells Spawn that he did the right thing. That when Spawn freed Terry, he took one step toward freeing himself. How does the old man know? Could Cogliostro be HellSpawn too?

Episode Three
colors of blood

Wynn's search for the missing Terry Fitzgerald continues. He sits and meets with Wanda, while outside Merrick and a team of killers waits to ambush Terry when he arrives home. Terry tries to call his wife, but hears Jason is there and hangs up. Confused, panicked, and on the run, Terry wanders not knowing what his next move will be.
Back in the alley, drug dealers have invaded and are terrorizing the Spawn protects. Burke and Twitch try to roust the dealers, but have little. It is only after the dealers brutally murder one of the residence of the alley that the Spawn, reluctant to be a hero, becomes involved. One by one the HellSpawn eliminates the dealers until only the leader is left. In a final act of poetic justice, Spawn leaves the lead dealer to the mercy of the inhabitants of Rat City.
Has this HellSpawn found some scrap of humanity within himself? Or is this the act of a predator whose territory has been invaded? Has his basic instinct to kill taken hold of him? He knows he has lost again. The real victor here, is the one who sent him to harvest more souls.

Episode Four
send in the KKKlowns

A sick and twisted killer who answers to the master, Malebolgia is on a mission of death. The killer is stalking the city in search of minorities and murdering them in the name of cleansing. Little does Spawn know, but this and other evil men are in his mist. They are drawn to the alley because of him. Drawn to the sound of Malebolgia's whisper. Drawn to the evil that lurks in the shadows.
Meanwhile, Wynn is relentlessly pursuing Terry Fitzgerald and keeping a close eye on Wanda in case the traitor shows up to see her. Merrick is convinced that Wanda knows where he is and demands that she be allowed to get the truth out of her. Wynn will not allow it. Instead, he plans to get close to Wanda, have dinner with her, and gain her trust. Maybe then she will let Wynn know where Terry is hiding.
After Wanda contacts Terry, Wynn gets suspicious and sends men to follow her. Spawn has been watching the whole time and when the agents try to attack Wanda, the HellSpawn acts. Spawn takes out the hit-men and allows Wanda to meet her husband, but reacts in horror at the sight of the HellSpawn
But before Terry can arrive at the designated meeting spot, he is assaulted by the mysterious killer and intends on making Terry his next victim. Terry manages to escape, but the killer is confronted by Spawn. The diluted killer is convinced that it is Spawn who is the master. Spawn rejects this notion, and takes out his rage on the killer, ending his life quickly and painfully. The scene that Spawn leaves for Merrick and Jason brings even the assassin to her knees in disgust, but Wynn discovers that Terry was there and he knows the trail to the traitor is still hot.

Episode Five
deathblow

Jason Wynn is spooked. Some outside force is tampering with his business. He tells Merrick to hire agents outside the agency to track Terry Fitzgerald. Merrick wants to do it herself, but Wynn refuses. Things are getting too close for comfort. He wants to keep the dirty work separate. Merrick begrudgingly agrees to follow the bosses orders.
Washington Post reporter LISA WU has stumbled onto story of her life, maybe the story of the decade when she began investing the death of two reporters murdered in Rat City. Her investigation leads her to Senator McMillian, Billy Kincaid and then, strangely to Wanda Blake and her daughter Cyan, Billy's last victim who was rescued. Is there a connection between all of these parties? Lisa intends to find out and she will start with Wanda Blake, and the alley. She manages to bribe some of the inhabitants of the alley and discovers Spawn's hidden weapons, and gets a hot tip on someone named Al.
The police are in an uproar. Too many bodies are showing up in the alleys of Rat City, and the department can no longer ignore it. Much to the delight of Burke and Twitch, squads of cops are being sent in to comb the alleys in search of a possible common denominator among the deaths. Meanwhile, Terry is hiding out in those very dark streets wondering when he'll see his wife and child again. When he is arrested by the police, his chances seem bleak.
In the darkness of night, Spawn pays Wanda and Cyan a visit. While he is there, one of Wynn's agents comes in to kill the mother and daughter. Spawn acts quickly and kills the agent, but in the process frightens Wanda again. Spawn tries to tell her who he really is but she is convinced that the monster before her is lying. It couldn't possibly be her dead husband, Al. When Cyan enters the room, Spawn leaves. Only after he is gone, Cyan tells her mother that he was the Sad Man who saved here from Billy Kincaid.

Episode Six
hellzapoppin

Now, it is Jason Wynn who is the haunted man. His schemes are crumbling. His sleep is an endless series of nightmarish visions. He is convinced that he is being called by an evil force and somehow he finds comfort in its familiarity. But the comfort is short lived when a visitor comes to his tower office for a visit. The visitor is Spawn. He has come to Wynn to issue a warning, and show the evil Wynn a glimpse of Hell. But before the visit is concluded Wynn wakes and finds it was all a dream. Or was it?
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.
