After Pinhead escapes and places himself in opposition to Leviathan, he and Kirsty are trapped by Leviathan himself and Harry takes Pinhead's place as the leader of Hell's armies. His flayed chest reveals his still beating heart. In spite of his new powers, Harry still carries a gun, enabling him to battle several incursion attempts from other realms.
