Having found an antidote and saved George, JoJo prepares to have Dio arrested. Speedwagon, who followed JoJo from London, helps prove Dio's guilt by presenting the druggist who sold Dio the poison. In a scuffle, Dio tries to stab JoJo but fatally injures George instead. After spilling George's blood on the mask and putting it on, Dio is shot to death by the police. Dying, George gives JoJo his late mother's ring, admitting that he knew of Dario's true nature before taking Dio in. Dio comes back to life as a vampire, proving invincible to firearms and draining the blood of one of the cops. As JoJo fights Dio, believing he can defeat him by destroying his brain, the policeman resurrects as a zombie and attacks JoJo, who sets the mansion ablaze and leads Dio to the roof so Speedwagon can escape. JoJo drags Dio into the flames and impales him on a statue. It seems that Dio has been killed -- but as the druggist reaches for the mask from the burnt ruins, a charred hand grabs him.
