Synopsis:
With Jerry O'Flynn's disappearance, Constantine decides to stay in his house. He discovers a safe with money and drugs inside it. When the doorbell rings, John flushes the drugs, then answers the door. An old man is at the door. He is a business associate of Jerry. John gives him an envelope, then the man departs. After further investigation of Jerry's business, John discovers that the old man is a serial killer known as the Family Man. Jerry was supplying the killer with victims in exchange for souvenirs from the murders which he later resold. John is horrified and decides to try to catch the old man before he can strike again.
