Adrian spirals into the depths of despair when he learns that the homeless avenger, a man he left to his fate, was killed by an angry mob. As he thinks about his violent career as the Vigilante, he rampages through the city, killing every criminal he comes into contact with. After accidentally shooting Captain Hall, the police officer who has been hunting him down, he realizes exactly what he has become. The Vigilante was created to kill killers and Adrian comes to the conclusion that he has become the worst killer of them all. The Vigilante does his duty. The end.
