Description:

Whistler's own chance for atonement comes sooner than expected when he receives a vision that a band of part-human Lister demons are trying to escape from the Scourge, an army of supremacist storm-trooper demons who claim "pure" blood and consequently persecute those of "mixed" blood. While Whistler goes after a strayed Lister teen, Angel infiltrates the enemy and discovers their secret weapon, a bomb-like device called the Beacon that combusts anyone with any taint of human blood. Events lead to a climactic showdown aboard a tramp freighter. Angel attempts to sacrifice himself to destroy the Beacon as it begins to operate, but Whistler, himself a half-breed demon, knocks Angel out, disables the Beacon, and dies from its effects. Angel later sadly watches a video Whistler recorded, saying he had a vision that this would happen, and that Angel had a greater destiny waiting for him.
