In 1906, Angel was staying at the Carlton Hotel in San Francisco. At night he went out to the Chinatown district to find a man named Xin. He was unsuccessful for at least two weeks and threatened a prostitute to tell him where to find Xin, when an old man (secretly Xin) interrupted them and told Angel he would tell him where to find Xin, if Angel could defeat the old man in combat. Angel was almost successful, but the man used a sheet of parchment with magical markings on it to knock Angel out. The man then had his two large bodyguards bring Angel to his hideout.

[[Angel|Angel's]] [[soul]] has now been returned to him and his desperately looking for a "cure" that will help him quiet the voices of his victims haunting his mind. His search takes him to [[San Francisco]] where is he is looking for a medicine man named [[Xin]]. After finding Xin and getting a taste of what he can do to help him, Xin sends him off to find a girl named [[Ling Kai]] who has a very unusual "unfinished" tattoo. He tells Angel that once he has returned Ling Xai, he will teach him the way to stop the voices. While using the rooftops to find the girl Angel is attacked by a [[demon]] called [[Bart]]. They fight and Angel throws him from the rooftop onto the street and flees. He finds his way to [[The Olympia]], a sleazy hotel bar, and finds Ling Xai who refuses to go back to Xin. Angel grabs her and forces her to walk out of the bar. But on their way out, the place is raided by cops and at that moment, Ling Xai turns and opens the front of her dress to reveal her cross tattoo that burns bright as the sun. Angel is hit on the back of the head by the bartender, [[Lynch]] and lies passing out on the floor of the bar...

Somewhere else, Angel woke up lying on a table with acupuncture needles in his face. In the room were the old man, Xin, and a young girl. The man revealed that the parchment was a spell to hold vampires down and that he was Xin. Angel revealed that the spell had not worked and that he was just playing dead. He told Xin that he wanted a potion to quiet the voices he had heard since he regained his soul. After a short fight, Xin told Angel he knew how to become more balanced.

Synopsis

In 1906, Angel was staying at the Carlton Hotel in San Francisco. At night he went out to the Chinatown district to find a man named Xin. He was unsuccessful for at least two weeks and threatened a prostitute to tell him where to find Xin, when an old man (secretly Xin) interrupted them and told Angel he would tell him where to find Xin, if Angel could defeat the old man in combat. Angel was almost successful, but the man used a sheet of parchment with magical markings on it to knock Angel out. The man then had his two large bodyguards bring Angel to his hideout.

Meanwhile, at a bar called the Olympia, a crime lord called Billy tried to bribe a police officer, who told him it was not possible. At the same time an inebriated sailor was harassing a Chinese woman named Ling Kai. He tore her dress to reveal a tattoo sleeve. Before he could become more aggressive, the bartender, Lynch, killed him with a blow to the head. A demon servant called Kryll was ordered to take the body into the kitchen to chop it up and serve it as meat to customers. Ling Kai then went to the table with the men and gave them an envelope with $ 400 in it, of which the police offer took $ 40 share.

Somewhere else, Angel woke up lying on a table with acupuncture needles in his face. In the room were the old man, Xin, and a young girl. The man revealed that the parchment was a spell to hold vampires down and that he was Xin. Angel revealed that the spell had not worked and that he was just playing dead. He told Xin that he wanted a potion to quiet the voices he had heard since he regained his soul. After a short fight, Xin told Angel he knew how to become more balanced. Angel would have to kidnap a girl with an unfinished dragon tattoo on her back: Ling Kai. Angel agreed and Xin told him Angel could find her at a bar in the red-light district, Barbary Coast.

The next night at twilight, Angel went out onto the rooftops to find Ling Kai, when he was attacked by a demon called Bart. Angel quickly overpowered him and threw him off a rooftop. At the Olympia, Angel pretended to be drunk and got a prostitute to take him upstairs. Instead of following her, Angel went into Ling Kai's room. He quickly left, but when she later left the room, Angel surprised her and grabbed her, forcing her to come along with him. When they are downstairs, police raid the bar, and in the ensuing chaos, Ling Kai opens the front of the dress to reveal a cross-shaped tattoo which burns brightly.
