Brimstone (1998 - 1999)

Detective Ezekiel Stone was murdered in 1983 and sent to hell for having previously murdered his wife's rapist. Now he is being sent back to Earth to help track down escaped demonic souls, giving himself a second chance.

Pursuing a serial rapist, Stone discovers that it is the man who raped his wife 15 years ago.

With the help of a Chinese teacher, Stone pursues an escapee who kills young immigrant Chinese women and takes their blood.

A damned soul is offing people who have gotten away with their crimes,or who he thinks has gotten away from there crimes. He electrocutes them, and leaves nothing left of the victims.At first it looks like the culprit is Lambert, but it is soon discovered Willy the Janitor is the vigilantee. In the end,Stone ultimately sends Willy a one-way trip back to Hell.

One of the escapees, Hasdrabul Skaras, approaches Stone and offers him a deal: if Ezekial joins forces with him and turns against the Devil, Hasdrabul will share the power that he plans to take on Earth. Stone prefers to regain his humanity on his own. In return, Hasdrabul, a Carthaginian warrior over a thousand years old, uses his Hell-developed power to blend into the shadows to first vanish before Stone can take him down, and then start killing the widows of ""fallen warriors"" (i.e., policeman killed in the line of duty), as Carthaginian ritual demands. Stone tries to stop him, helping one of the widows to escape from both Skaras and the police guard. Outclassed, Stone hides in Father Horn's church and uses the flickering light of the candles to spot Hasdrabul and make a throw that puts out Skaras' eyes and sends him back to Hell.

One of the Hell escapees is destroying religious buildings, but Stone discovers it's someone closer to him then he could have possibly thought.

Two escapees(Jocelyn and Paco)are living the high life,and leaving dead bodies in the process.

The newest escapee is Typhoid Mary. She's back on Earth and up to her old tricks. Worse, her typhoid is a hundred times worse for having been bathed in the flame of Hell.

Stone befriends a physically abused boy whose alternate personality wants to take revenge on his foster father.

The Devil gives Ezekial a chance to revisit his life, but Zeke is unaware there's a more sinister plan afoot.

Following his former wife home on Valentine's Day, Stone discovers that escapees from Hell have taken over the neighborhood and one of them is dating her.
