I file these under special, because crazy just doesn't inspire confidence in new
clients.
on first glance it's apparent someone was here before the cops.
I'm not here to solve a *** right now.
I'm here to look for something they missed.
The difference between a cop, and a private eye. They observe, I investigate.
I feel guilty about filing this woman under special now.
If I'd paid a little bit more attention
maybe I could have saved her.
but when you're talking about the occult,
people tend to think you belong in a nut house.
Jackpot!
She was hiding this from someone, luckily I found it first.
This is my cue to leave, stage left.
every woman's got a secret
and boy did gloria have some secrets.
now I remember why I filed her under... "Special".
the name Ovisvelli keeps coming up.
I turn the pages hoping it's an italian recipe but no such luck.
Looks like I've found Satan's tennis partner.
Joe I know you're in there.
I know you were at the apartment earlier, open up.
Damn, and I just fixed that door.
Joe, I can't help you if you won't help me.
sometimes i feel like I use the back window more than the front door.
you know the company that makes escalators, and elevators in malls?
They also make fire escapes.
Joe open this god damned door right now.
Something in my gut told me lipowitz wanted more than to cite me for crossing his little yellow line.
no matter what it was
I couldn't afford to be stopped before I found out what happened to my client and I knew Jacques could translate this garbage.
but if you asked him he'd tell you he was half chinese... I didn't see it.
What are you doing here at this time of night? I need a translator.
A beautiful woman has written secrets about you in French.
I can only hope.
Look you've got to let me in.
There are people looking for me.
Oh yes, yes, come on in.
you never know what type of freaks you'll run into
around here.
Ovisvelli, the star spawn.
demon god of ancient times.
Where did you say you got this book?
I didn't. What did you come up with?
Let me tell you a story Joe.
I think it will help you understand.
Oh great. Story time with the Frenchman.
every time i've seen this guy he wanted to tell me a story
...the same thing. A destroyer of worlds.
This is why I hate the occult. Nothing is ever answered straightforward
Why not just tell me. Alien came down wrecked town and then got sealed up.
So much faster.
Joe do you understand?
seriously? No.
I believe this diary is the key to releasing Ovisvelli!
Ovisvelli, bad right?
Very!
So let's destroy the book.
No! That was my first thought as well, but then I saw this.
what's that.
How to seal him.
So we keep that, and destroy the rest.
Finding me in my office fine, but here?
you got a back way out of here? Sorry about the trouble.
Well, if it isn't back door Joe.
I haven't been called that since college.
So here I am, tied up like a *** in Amsterdam
Only this time I don't think I'm going to have any fun.
My only chance is to cut these ropes
before he cuts me like a pig for the slaughter.
Lipowitz. I should've known. It's so... Lipowitz.
Why'd you do it Jerry.
Isn't it obvious? I'm going to be a god!
You can't honestly be serious.
He's such an arrogant prick
Why wouldn't he believe he should be a god.
Well that was anticlimactic.
spoke too soon
This one goes in the books for weird.
It's about now I normally start looking for a back door.
But I don't know where the hell I am.
So I guess I don't have a choice.
Why is it that there are always some nut jobs who think the evil angry being
we sealed away is going to grant them anything other than death when you free it from centuries of imprisonment.
In all the years that I've been a private eye.
I never thought i'd be thumbing through some woman's diary looking for the off switch
to the most evil thing in the galaxy.
and much like an Ikea instruction book,
you don't know how the damn thing works.
But hell, it's this or finding out what life is like inside it's stomach.
I hope I'm getting this right.
Well, that was interesting.
I don't know what the hell happened to gloria.
Best I can assume is Lipowitz killed her looking for the diary.
And covered it up being the crooked cop he was.
but then again for all I know one of the things in that damn and book of hers.
turned her into some bloodsucking fiend from beyond the grave.
But I guess I'll never know
As for me I think I've had enough of the strange and odd for the next month
I think it's time for me to take some well-deserved time off
But then again.
Maybe not.
