in new york city during november 1930, szilard succeeds in recreating the elixir, only to have it stolen by young thug dallas genoard. the elixir continually moves around the city because of dallas, with the three mafiosi gandor brothers, the two idiotic thieves isaac dian and miria harvent, and maiza's protege firo prochainezo and their camorra family, the martillo, all passing it around. szilard makes dallas an incomplete immortal (meaning he still ages) to retrieve the elixir. however, all other parties accidentally consume the elixir, mistaking it for alcohol, at a party for firo. firo falls in love with szilard's immortal homunculus ennis, who betrays szilard by telling firo how to devour szilard, which he does. the gandor then cement dallas to a barrel at the bottom of the hudson river to punish him for killing gandor members.
