In 1930 Manhattan, an elderly man is attacked by thug Dallas Genoard and saved by Firo Prochainezo of the Martillo Camorra family. However, Dallas attacks the man again and takes the bottles of alcohol the man was carrying. Unknown to Dallas, the bottles contain an immortality elixir the man has recreated for the immortal alchemist Szilard Quates. Soon after, Dallas loses the bottles to the three mafiosi Gandor brothers. Szilard captures Dallas, and upon learning the thug lost the bottles, he makes Dallas an incomplete immortal, meaning Dallas continues to age, and forces him to retrieve the elixir. Dallas raids the Gandor hideout, killing several men, but the bottles have already been stolen by Isaac Dian and Miria Harvent. The duo give the bottles to the Martillo to express their gratitude for an earlier kindness. Szilard learns of this and attacks the Martillo with his homunculus Ennis, who recently befriended Isaac and Miria. To his dismay, he learns that the bottle he pursued did not contain the elixir. When saving the elderly man, Firo switched the man's bottles with his own in response to the man's ingratitude. By doing so, the elixir was distributed at a party the day before, inadvertently bestowing immortality and eternal youth on the Gandor brothers, Isaac, Miria, Firo, and the Martillo executives. Ennis, who is reluctant to attack her friends, reveals to Firo the only way to kill an immortal. After Szilard is killed, the Gandor brothers capture Dallas and cement him to a barrel, which they sink in the Hudson River as punishment for killing their men.
