John Taylor gets a job to find the Unholy Grail for the "Vatican" and hires Suzie as backup. Angels and Demons want it as well as every powerful group out there, and aren't afraid to destroy the Nightside to find it. After asking various groups and "people" who might have info, most of which get killed, they find that Razor Eddie had already found the Unholy Grail and gave it to the Collector. Meanwhile, Angels and Demons are vying for Taylor to get it for them and even get the Authorities to lean on him as well and aren't opposed to killing him as he refuses. He has to use Merlin to get to the Collector's hideout on the Moon, gets double crossed although that doesn't really work out too well and in the end, gets the Unholy Grail and hands it to the priest who hired him in the first place. It winds up being Judas Iscariot, who then drinks from the Grail he made to make it powerless and hoofs it to the Vatican.
