Pilot
Detective Ezekial Stone killed his wife's rapist in 1983, making it look like a drug o'd. Shortly thereafter he was killed in a shootout and went to Hell. Now it's 1998 and Ezekial is back. He's been sent by the Devil to recover 113 escaped souls from Hell. The first is Father Edward Salinas, a priest who died over a hundred years ago when he murdered several sets of four young boys, in his efforts to prevent what he believed to be the Apocalypse. Now Salinas is back and trying to commit the same set of killings. Stone has come to the attention of the local NY police, but manages to team up with Hirsch and Kane, who are in charge of the investigation. By tracking a rare coin, Stone tracks Salinas to an abandoned subway tunnel. Hirsch is killed, but Stone manages to send Salinas back to Hell as Kane realizes that Stone actually is a supernatural creature and everything he's said is true.
Heat
Stone goes to L.A. to find his wife, but encounters a college student whose rage sets her lovers on fire.
Encore
Pursuing a serial rapist, Stone discovers that it is the man who raped his wife 15 years ago.
Repentence
Homeless people are having their eyes cut out, and Stone believes one of the escapees is responsible. Investigating the crime scene he finds a clue that leads him to an escapee - Martin Benedict, a WW2 Nazi collaborator. Stone tracks done Benedict, who manages to escape after passing up a chance to send Ezekial back to Hell. Despite the Devil's insistence, Stone investigates further and determines that Benedict has apparently been playing the role of a hidden Guardian Angel to the community. He finds out that the murders are the result of a merely human killer who sells the eyes on the black market for organs, and that Benedict has truly repented of his crimes. Stone refuses to send the reformed man back to Hell, but Benedict realizes that if Ezekial fails he will have to go back. Benedict insists that Stone send him back which he does, and Martin disappears in a blaze of light subtly different from the usual "down to Hell". A furious Devil asserts that he won this time, but Stone knows better.
Poem

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.
Slayer
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.
Ashes
L.A. is plagued by a series of burnings of religious buildings: churches, synagogues, mosques. The Devil puts Stone on the case, and he believes that one of the escapees is trying to exact revenge on God by attacking His structures. Meanwhile, Stone and Detective Ashe keep crossing paths, and the romantic interest between them grows. They get so far as to start stripping off their clothes, but Ashe is put off by the tattoes on Stone's skin. Stone finally tracks down his suspect, Varner, but it turns out he is simply a mind-controlled pawn. The actually escapee is...Ashe. Ashe is actually Ashur Badaktu, a priestess to a pagan god 4,000 years ago. She killed her daughter as her religion ordained, but when God became the supreme diety, He condemned her to Hell. Ashe/Ashur is the one who led the escape, and managed to get a job as a detective with the LAPD. Now she plans to gain revenge on God Himself by destroying his works. She realized Stone was sent to track her down when she saw the tattoes, one of which had her real name. Ezekial can't quite bring himself to kill the woman he's been attracted to, and Ashe/Ashur escapes. The Devil is not happy, and Stone suspects that his "boss" may have been romantically involved with Ashur as well.
Lovers
Stone complains to the Devil that he wants to have a little "fun". The Devil obliges, unfortunately... Stone has to buy a car from the Devil (for the usual $36.27) and while taking it in for repairs, overhears a man who claims to have been attacked by a young punk who died years ago. Investigating, Stone finds out that Paco is an escapee from Hell, and seems to be fixated on a young woman, Jocelyn. As Stone (and the audience) soon find out, Paco and Jocelyn were actually lovers years ago. Jocelyn was a rich young debutante and Paco was from the wrong side of the tracks. Jocelyn killed her parents so she could be with the equally murderous Paco, and both of them ended up in Hell, and subsequently escaped. Stone manages to send Paco back, then confronts Jocelyn in her family's home and sends her back. As the Devil laughs at his idea of "fun," Stone shoots the headlights out of his car and sends it back to Hell too.
Carrier
The newest escapee is "Sally" Ann McGee, the woman who was the original Typhoid Mary. She originally spread her disease without consideration for the harm it did, earning her a place in Hell. Now she's back on Earth and doing the same thing. Worse, her typhoid is a hundred times worse for having been bathed in the flame of Hell. Even the Devil is concerned about whether she might infect him. Ezekial is exposed when Sally manages to kiss him, and even his supernatural immunity provides him with no defense. Escaping CDC confinement, a weakened Stone manages to track down Sally, who has realized she can have no "safe" human contact and has decided to infect L.A.'s water supply. Ezekial just manages to send her back, which ends her supernatural plague and restores him to normal.
Faces
Stone befriends a physically abused boy whose alternate personality wants to take revenge on his foster father.
It's a Helluva Life
Stone is on the pursuit of a Hell-escapee, a bank robber, when he catches a glimpse of his wife Rosalyn at the bank the robber is holding up. Stone gripes to the Devil, who decides to show him how lousy Stone was in life. Stone is taken back through his life, where he is shown how he was a bully as a child and beat up suspects as a cop. However, a mysterious figure in white who looks just like the Devil shows up. Claiming to be an Angel, the figure shows Stone how what the Devil is showing him is just one side of the picture. Stone accomplished much good in his life, but in despair he shoots at the mocking Devil. It doesn't do anything, but as punishment, the Devil refuses to let him rescue Rosalyn, even if Stone begs and cringes and swears to do his bidding even without reward. Stone is about ready to do so anyway when he he realizes in the nick of time that it's all an illusion, as the Devil has no real power on Earth. He breaks free of the illusion and gets to the bank just in time to send the escapee back to Hell and rescue Rosalyn and the other patrons. As she leaves without seeing him once more, the Angel assures Stone that all things considered, he would have gone to Heaven if not for killing Jax, and that his quest to send the escapees back serves a higher purpose than even the Devil knows.
