The story is told in flashback by Dr. Paul Merchant, a scientist aboard a futuristic space station in the year 2127. Merchant has hijacked the station, not for terrorism, but to complete a lifelong obsession: to destroy the puzzle box and the Cenobites once and for all. As he recounts his history to a skeptical security team, the film transports the audience to 18th-century France and then to 1996 New York.
John Merchant, a modern-day architect and descendant of Philip, unknowingly incorporates the box's geometry into a New York skyscraper. Pinhead and Angelique emerge to hunt him down, seeking to use his knowledge to keep the gates of Hell open permanently. 2127 Space (The Finale): Hellraiser- Bloodline
