Check it out Hellblazer fans, NBC's Constantine does indeed smoke (off camera). Apparently "you can't smoke on network" [TV] the show's creative team has explained again and again. Good thing they're allowed to cut out people's tongues and stab folks with huge scissors.
Papa Midnite (guest star Michael James Shaw) chats with his "sister", Cedilla. She was a woman whose soul was sent to Hell to provide information to the voodoo priest.
Constantine makes the mistake of phoning in an accident before it happens. This leads Detective Jim Corrigan to arrest him on Constantine Season 1 Episode 5 "Danse Vaudou."
Jim: You three are some act. Constantine: Yeah well, it's no act supercop. See the police they're looking for a living killer in that alleyway stabbing and they're not gonna find him. Jim: Uh huh. Constantine: Based on what I saw in the alleyway and now here on this road you've got two perps on the loose and they're very possibly dead or undead. Jim: I can't believe I give you the time of day.
Jim: Very good. I think I got a couple of junior detective badges back at the station. Jim Corrigan; NOLA PD homicide and you are? Constantine: Here to help you Jimmy boy. Zed: Jimmy? Constantine: John Constantine. This is Chas and Zed. We're investigating the occult phenomenon that happened here last night. Jim: Whoa occult investigators? Con men don't normally introduce themselves as con men, well that's novel. Zed: Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast. Jim: Where'd you hear that? Zed: Was that your mother teaching you to shoot?
