One year later, in SoHo, New York City Ilsa Haupstein kills the curator of a wax museum. At the B.P.R.D Headquarters in Fairfield, Connecticut, Tom Manning and Kate Corrigan brief the agents about the life of Vladimir Giurescu and the fact that he could never die because when the full moon shines down on him at Castle Giurescu he heals himself.
