Progress: Episode 9 Updated

1930:

~ Maiza Avaro has a conversation with the demon he had summoned 219 years ago, who had assumed a human form, calling himself Ronny Sukiart, and acting as a Martillo family secretary. Maiza Avaro tells him that becoming the enemies of the Runorata family would be troublesome, but there was no reason for them to fear Gustavo Baggetta. Ronny Sukiart says that he would only have to sweep up the small sparks if that was the case. After commenting that there should be no problems that way, Maiza Avaro leaves, and Ronny Sukiart talks aloud for a little while longer, saying that he could feel Szilard Quates coming just around the corner, and wonders if Maiza Avaro could feel him coming, too. [Episode 7]

~ Eve Genoard worries about Dallas Genoard, currently in her family's residence in New Jersey. She is ready for bed, but stares at an old picture of herself and her brother and cries. She overhears voices on the balcony outside whispering about her, and when she goes to investigate, she surprises Isaac Dian and Miria Harvent. After wondering what they should do, they announce to her that they were robbers, causing Eve Genoard to break out in laughter. Isaac Dian and Miria Harvent decide that they wanted to hear about why she had been crying earlier. [Episode 8]

~ Eve Genoard tells Isaac Dian and Miria Harvent about her brother, Dallas Genoard. She believes that he had become a delinquent because her family was rich, so no one was honest with each other. Isaac Dian and Miria Harvent decide that all her problems would be resolved if her family stopped being rich, and leave her room to go help her with that. [Episode 8]

~ Isaac Dian and Miria Harvent return to Eve Genoard's room with bags full of loot, and tell her that they would remove all the misfortune from her home as they attempt and fail to pick up a couch then play with her harp for a little while. They assure her that her home was now secure and it was only a matter of time before her brother returned and came back to his senses. Before they leave, Eve Genoard introduces herself, and Isaac Dian tells her that she would become happy for sure. Their work done, they rappel off the balcony and make their escape and Eve Genoard begins to laugh again. [Episode 8]

~ The morning after Isaac Dian and Miria Harvent visited her, Eve Genoard is woken from her sleep by Dallas Genoard, who mentions that it had been a long time since they had last seen each other, and offers to teach her how to play billiards later that day. Eve, intensely happy to see him again, agrees, but they hear people shouting downstairs, so Dallas Genoard goes to investigate. Eve Genoard begins to pray in thanks, but her brother comes back and tells her to stop praying because they'd been robbed last night. He reveals that the reason he had come back was to collect his share of their grandfather's inheritance, but it had been stolen. He tells her that she was stupid to believe in God and slams the door in anger. [Episode 8]

~ Dallas Genoard and his gang beat up a Runorata member, but are stopped by Luck Gandor, accompanied by his older brother, Berga Gandor, and both parties are asked to move along. [Episode 3]

~ Maiza Avaro purchases a hat for Firo Prochainezo as part of the ritual in his promotion to an executive position in the Martillo family, though the official ceremony is the next day. [Episode 3]

~ Maiza Avaro and Firo Prochainezo run into Isaac Dian and Miria Harvent as they exit the hat shop, and are chastised for not watching where they're going. [Episode 3]

~ Isaac Dian and Miria Harvent enter the hat shop, browse for a while, and purchase several hats to use later as costumes. Though they attempt to threaten the hat shop owner into forgetting that they where ever there, they are so frightened of him that they almost forget to take their change. [Episode 4]

~ Isaac Dian and Miria Harvent continue on their way, and they converse about how scary the hat shop owner had been, how they had committed 87 robberies, and that they planned to do one last big job in New York City before retiring to Miami. They get so excited that they dance into the street, where they are hit by a car. [Episode 4]

~ Ennis, driving the car which hit Isaac Dian and Miria Harvent, is transporting Szilard Quates to his secret underground gentlemen's club. Isaac Dian and Miria Harvent get up, mostly unharmed, and Szilard Quates orders her to drive away while the two thieves shout after them. Szilard Quates mentions that he didn't understand young people now or 200 years ago, and stopped having faith in them once Maiza lost his senses. Ennis mentions that from Szilard's point of view, the entire world was younger. [Episode 4]

~ Isaac Dian and Miria Harvent stumble through the streets, complaining about the hit and run driver. They enter an alley. [Episode 6]

~ Ennis escorts Szilard Quates the rest of the way to his secret underground gentlemen's club, and it is revealed that it had been the first time they had visited in twenty years. Szilard Quates is informed that Barnes is in the distillation room and Stagen had passed away a year ago, proving that the elderly men were not completely immortal after all. However, Szilard Quates informs them that Barnes has completed recreating the true elixir, so they would soon have nothing to fear. Szilard Quates orders Ennis to go pick up Barnes, but if he had drank, lost, or damaged the product, she was to kill him. [Episode 4]

~ Randy and Pezzo of the Martillo family accidentally start a fire while practicing party tricks. [Episode 3]

~ Barnes, after successfully recreating the liquor of immortality and testing it on a rat, has his lab destroyed by the fire. He manages to save two bottles of the completed product as he flees. [Episode 3]

~ Firo Prochainezo spots smoke rising close by and leaves Maiza Avaro to go check it out. [Episode 3]

~ Firo Prochainezo collides with Ennis as she leaves the crowd gathering around the fire. She apologizes and continues on her way, explaining that she's looking for someone. A button had fallen on the ground and Firo Prochainezo begins to chase after her, intending to return it. [Episode 2+3]

~ The camera zooms in on Ennis' arm, and it is revealed the button has indeed fallen off of her sleeve. [Episode 4]

~ Barnes encounters Dallas Genoard and his crew and insults them, causing them to start beating him. Since Barnes is extremely protective of the box he carries, Dallas Genoard plans to steal it. [Episode 4]

~ Firo Prochainezo continues looking for Ennis and encounters Dallas and his crew beating Barnes and attempting to steal the box he's carrying. Firo Prochainezo easily takes them out but Barnes is not interested in his help. Firo Prochainezo asks Barnes if he's seen Ennis before leaving, but Barnes hasn't seen her. Firo Prochainezo warns Barnes to get moving before the gang recovers. [Episode 3]

~ Dallas Genoard catches up to Barnes and stabs him to death. He takes the box and plans to get revenge on Firo Prochainezo. [Episode 3]

~ Barnes recovers just in time to be found by Ennis, and falls unconscious. [Episode 3+5]

~ Ennis brings Barnes to Szilard Quates, disobeying the order to kill him, believing that it would be better to question him first. Szilard Quates tells Ennis that she was his homunculus and she had no need to think and should be able to kill without hesitating. Szilard Quates then "eats" Barnes, acquiring his knowledge and memories. He announces to his allies that the elixir had been stolen, but he knew the faces of the perpetrators. He transfers that knowledge to Ennis, and also shows her the face of Firo Prochainezo, who was looking for her. He tells her to look for Dallas and his gang first and bring them to him. [Episode 5]

~ As Ennis leaves to fulfill the task, she notices that a button is missing from her sleeve. [Episode 5]

~ Dallas Genoard and his gang visit Luck Gandor hoping that he would help them get revenge on Firo Prochainezo, not realizing that the two of them were good friends. Luck Gandor declines to help, and Dallas tells him that he and his gang would join their mafia if it would change his mind. Luck Gandor tells him that he's not interested because the Gandors would have no use for them. He lets Dallas Genoard make trouble in Gandor territory because it kept the police occupied, not because he feared them. Berga Gandor arrives and "escorts them out of the building". Dallas Genoard, receiving his second beating of the day, appears to want revenge on the Gandor family as well. [Episode 6]

~ Luck and Berga Gandor discover a box that Dallas Genoard left behind and put it on a shelf before they leave the room. [Episode 6]

~ Dallas Genoard and his gang walk through the alleys, wondering what they should do now. Dallas Genoard vows to kill Firo Prochainezo and the Gandors and one of his thugs wonders why he wasn't using money from his rich family. Dallas Genoard explains that his family's assets had been stolen last month. One of them says he should at least have enough to eat, and another says that he had heard Dallas Genoard's little sister was cute, and ends up getting severely threatened by her older brother. Dallas Genoard is now in an even worse mood than before. [Episode 6]

~ Isaac Dian and Miria Harvent dance around in the alley as they summarize their escapades, believing that they're about to do their last job. They used to steal things like watches, and stole a museum door once, but they realized that those were bad things to do, and decided to do only good from then on, like stealing inheritances so no one would fight over them. They like doing these good deeds because they make them feel good, and so decide to do something good for their last job as well: steal from the mafia. Dallas Genoard runs into Miria Harvent and the robber duo make the mistake of telling him to watch where he's going. The rest of Dallas Genoard's gang arrives. [Episode 6]

~ Ennis, busy looking for Dallas Genoard and his gang, hears the sounds of a struggle and sees a man holding Miria Harvent hostage, and decides to investigate. She recognizes one of the men beating Isaac Dian as one of the men she was looking for, Dallas Genoard. She easily knocks out all four thugs in a calculated, efficient manner, even though Dallas Genoard attempted to surrender. Isaac Dian and Miria Harvent immediately swarm Ennis with words of thanks and praise, and Ennis remembers them from the earlier hit and run. They ask her if they could do anything for her in return, and Ennis asks them to help her carry the four men to her car, sporting a slight smile at their antics. [Episode 6]

~ Isaac Dian and Miria Harvent finish helping Ennis load the four unconscious members of Dallas Genoard's gang into her car, which reminds the robber duo of the car that had hit them earlier. Ennis attempts to confess, but trails off, and Isaac Dian asks her where she would be taking them. Ennis lies and says she would be bringing them to the police, but Isaac Dian and Miria Harvent would be in trouble if they went with her, so say that they would be parting ways for now, then. They tell her that they were on a journey to atone for their past sins, and Ennis says that they were strong to be able to do that, because she could not face her own sins, remembering "eating" a man once. Isaac Dian and Miria Harvent react tearfully to her saddened face and tell her that it didn't matter how many bad things she had done because she had saved them, so she was even. If a bad person did a good thing, people would see them as a good person. The robber duo is really upset, and Ennis accepts their argument, starting to feel a little better. However, the sun is setting, and Ennis had to get going, so they all introduce themselves before they part. Ennis looks back after getting in the car, seeing them jump up and down, waving, and hearing them shout about hoping to see each other again soon. Ennis starts the car, sniffles, and wipes at her eyes, quietly wishing to see them again soon with a wavering voice. [Episode 8]

~ Ennis has brought Dallas Genoard and his gang to Szilard Quates in their secret headquarters. Szilard Quates doesn't think he would get much knowledge from "eating" the thugs, but gets Ennis to inject them all with the incomplete elixir anyway. [Episode 6]

~ Dallas Genoard awakes to find that he and his gang were tied up on the floor, looking up at Szilard Quates and Ennis. One of Dallas Genoard's gang members tell him that they had all been injected with something. Dallas Genoard demands to know what was going on and Szilard Quates introduced himself and informs them that he would kill them after they told him everything he wanted to know. Dallas Genoard challenges him and Szilard Quates demonstrates by "eating" the gang member that had spoken earlier, traumatizing the other three considerably. Szilard Quates looks through his new memories but can't tell if the elixir is safe or not, so decides to strike a deal with Dallas Genoard. However, since he was too shocked to reply, Szilard Quates decides to give him a few minutes, and asks Ennis what had happened with the other two that had been present when she had found them, and she tells him that they had left and there hadn't been any signs of being followed, so he lets it go. Szilard Quates informs Ennis that the elixir was at the Gandor family headquarters, and tells her to let Dallas Genoard and his lackeys go get it for them, since they wanted revenge on the Gandors anyway. Ennis goes over and explains to them their new situation and gives them their mission as she unties them. Szilard Quates is approached by his club members who were outraged that he would waste the incomplete elixir on street trash, but he asks them if they would rather storm a mafia stronghold instead. He tells them that he would "eat" them later. [Episode 9]

~ Ennis waits outside while Dallas Genoard and his gang enter the Gandor family headquarters, interrupting a game of poker between four Gandor henchmen who were taking care of the office while the Gandor brothers were away. When they demand to know what Dallas Genoard wanted, he just says that he had come to pick up something he had forgotten earlier, and sees the box sitting on the shelf. However, the Gandor family members tell him to wait for Luck Gandor to return in the morning and he could get it then, but that wasn't good enough for Dallas Genoard. He gives his two buddies the signal and they open fire with their machine guns. Dallas Genoard laughs at how weak they were, and yet they had called him trash. However, one of the Gandor goons had survived the onslaught, and kills all three of them with his pistol. He attempts to call Luck Gandor over the phone, but the three recover quickly, and Dallas Genoard kills him by jabbing his knife into his forehead. The three of them are ecstatic to find that they were immortal after all. [Episode 9]

~ Underneath a classy restaurant hidden behind a small store, Firo Prochainezo completes the ritual that promotes him within the Camorra, despite an attempt by the family leader, Molsa Martillo, to convince him that he would be able to become a much greater and more powerful person by pursuing a more law abiding career. After a traditional knife fight to first blood where he fights Maiza Avaro and wins, Firo Prochainezo is officially a Camorrista. The cut on Maiza Avaro's arm mysteriously vanishes, but Firo Prochainezo is interrupted before he could find out why. To finish the ceremony, Molsa fires a bullet into the ceiling, and immediately following, they overhear Miria Harvent screaming that Issac Dian had just been killed. [Episode 5]

~ An incident occurs, leading to the immortality of Firo Prochainezo and Luck Gandor, and most likely many more characters, as well. [Episode 1]

~ FBI special investigators, Bill Sullivan and Donald Brown, make a presentation to the New York City police department and ask them for help in arresting Isaac Dian and Miria Harvent, who have traveled from city to city stealing anything from candy to museum doors, totaling about 110 cases of theft. The reason that they were so desperate to arrest them, however, was because they had suddenly begun to steal things of much greater value--namely, the Genoard family's assets in New Jersey. The investigators have no idea why the robber duo changed so suddenly. [Episode 8]

~ Isaac Dian and Miria Harvent move into an abandoned mine somewhere in California in an attempt to "steal" gold from the Earth. [Episode 2]
