5. Blood from a Stone

Complete story — includes the ending

Jobe takes another talisman from a crooked preacher, but it is subsequently stolen by a mysterious sorcerer. Crane and Diana go to question Dreyfuss about a missing persons case, while the sorcerer breaks in and locks down the building, revealing himself to be Ansel, Dreyfuss' late partner. While searching for him, Diana and Ichabod find canisters of Greek fire throughout the basement, realizing that Ansel intends to kill Malcolm and destroy the building. Ansel confronts Malcolm, where he explains that his power comes from the sigils he received during his imprisonment in Hell. Ichabod temporarily subdues him, and they lock themselves inside Malcolm's secret sub-basement. Jake finds an incantation that can disrupt the sigils in the works of John Dee, and Jenny finds a way to sneak into the building through the air vents. Malcolm explains that he sold his soul to Jobe in exchange for "the life he was meant to have", which included Ansel's downfall. Jenny enters the sub-basement and utters the incantation, stripping Ansel of his power and allowing Ichabod to kill him. Dreyfuss escapes with the artifact he's been assembling, which turns out to be the Philosopher's Stone, which can give him immortality. Jenny determines that Dreyfuss is headed to Sleepy Hollow, where the final piece of the Stone is hidden.
