Effie and the region's witches surround the church grounds which they cannot enter, calling to Ferrell to join them as the Crooked Man arrives and demand Tom to pay his debt. The Crooked Man attempted to tempt Watt's assistance with gold, youth and sight and then appeal to Hellboy's demonic nature, revealing he is after the bone in Tom's possession. After Watts infuses the holy spirit into the bone, he and Tom burn a cross onto a shovel's spade for Hellboy use to dispatch the Crooked Man with the witches fleeing. The morning after Tom's father is given a properly burial, Tom and Hellboy go up to Wikins' mansion to finish him off. Witkins - appearing in his true form as a monstrous, demonic crab creature - sits clutching the souls of his victims which appear as gold coins in jars.
