Mr. S. Pain goes to Spain! Travelling to a remote rural location with the Captain to buy a biological weapon, Pain finds himself suddenly up against a massive cult of Spanish brainwashed zealots out for his blood.
Can the intervention of a seven-foot Scotsman and a well-dressed woman who looks suspiciously like his accountant save the day? And what role does the druggie superagent Jack Bauser play in things?
(It's basically Resident Evil 4. Seriously.)

Episode published on Wednesday 15th of October, 2014.
Sam came up with this Halloween episode of her own volition; the Lupin and Fujiko costumes are apparently to "complete the trilogy" as Pain has a habit of just changing his jacket colour every other year. The Captain is Agent 47 from the Hitman series as I'm a massive fan and might have been playing Hitman: Absolution at the time, and Ben is Jayne from Firefly as Sam's always been a fan of that cursed series (I say cursed because it got cancelled, obviously). Dr. Smiffington III makes a cameo on the dartboard as I was stuck into writing The Two Doctors strips at the time.
To quote the original DeviantArt upload of this:
Only the best, not-at-all-cheap decorations for the Detulux Staff room. I guess they look a lot more...intense in Pain's head.
This is a non-canon strip. Pain, his accountant Samara, the Captain and Ben are all standing in the Detulux staffroom. The room has been decorated for the season, stickers of bats have been applied to the wall along with a large transfer of a demonic fire that wraps around the room, along the top of the skirtingboard. Ben and the Captain do not look very impressed by their boss' choice of costume, Pain having dressed as Lupin for the third time (this time in the pink jacket design). In an attempt to defend himself, he's jerking his thumb at Samara who is dressed as Fujiko Mine, also from the Lupin III series; more specifically, she's Fujiko from The Castle of Cagliostro. Samara also looks unimpressed by Pain's antics. Ben is dressed as Jayne from Firefly and the Captain is dressed as Agent 47 from the Hitman series of games.
Pain: What? She wanted to be Fujiko! Mara: No I didn't.
