The Sandman

While searching for an escaped nightmare, Morpheus falls prey to Roderick Burgess, an occultist looking to summon and imprison Death.

Morpheus begins his quest to find his tools of power – his sand, ruby and helm – by paying a visit to a pair of notoriously dysfunctional brothers.

Morpheus tracks down the last-known person in possession of his sand and receives an unexpected lesson on humanity. Ethel pays a visit to her son.

A lead on the whereabouts of his helm compels Morpheus to seek an audience with Lucifer. A confused John receives a helping hand from a Samaritan.

With Morpheus caught off guard, John settles in at a diner to watch the people around him and put his theory about truth and lies to test.
