In London, several helicopters fly after a target. Elsewhere, someone is seen putting together the Casull, a powerful handgun. Meanwhile, the target is inside a car, which is driving towards a mansion.

"Target is confirmed. Releasing control art restriction system to level 3..."

Peter Winfield invites a woman into his mansion. He tells her that her beauty makes him want to drop down to his knees, caress her legs and prove how much he admires beauty such as hers. That sort of game is reserved for younger gentlemen, but he still feels very fortunate to have met her at the party. He just knows she's the kind of person who'll truly appreciate his strange new appetites. He shuts the door and tells her that her beauty lights up the night.

They then realize they aren't alone. Peter wants to know who's there, and asks the man what he's doing here. The man, known as Alucard, says this is a situation C: keeping power restriction unlocked until the target has been silenced. Peter asks him what he thinks he's doing here. Alucard says it's the Hellsing organization, and pulls out the Casull. Peter starts begging for him to wait, but Alucard tells the human to get out of the way, unless he'd rather become a miserable little ghoul. Peter runs off.

Alucard fires a single shot, which hits the woman in the head. As she falls and hits the ground, she crumbles to dust. Alucard gets up and vanishes, leaving a shocked Peter to wonder what it was he just witnessed.

Outside, Hellsing forces move into the mansion. Alucard walks out and goes up to a certain car. He tells the person inside it that the limited release was completed. He then walks away from the mansion.

Sometime later, the head of the Hellsing organization, Integra, is informed about a Priest. The Priest was assigned to the village of Cheddar in June, but one month later the first wave of missing persons reports began flooding in. The lieutenant explains that the local police conducted an investigation two days ago, and officers were sent in to apprehend the suspect. But all of them have been reported killed. The London police authority then ordered D11 into action. Another officer says that one unit of their elite troops were sent in yesterday, but suffered 50% casualties. And it seems that their men were killed be the officers reported killed from the day before.

Integra says those men are no longer human. These people have had their blood drained to feed the vampire, and have become cannibalistic ghouls. Integra thinks the lieutenant hasn't done a very good job in dealing with this situation, and thinks he should know the correct response. Somehow he's forget there is only one way to resolve these problems. As she looks out a window, she says that it's getting dark. She tells the men that her organization has already sent assistance to the village, with one agent being sent in.

Alucard is that agent, and is in a forest. He looks up and says this is a perfect night, the kind of night that makes him want to have a bite to drink. Nearby, police girl Victoria Seras tries to help Jack, an injured member of her team. As she tries to heal a bite mark on his arm, she tells him that reinforcements will be here soon. But she admits she wasn't ready for this, it's too much. She's trying to be strong, as she doesn't want to be nicknamed "Kitten" for the rest of her life.

Jack suddenly undergoes a change, become a ghoul and attacking Seras. She smashes him over the head with her handgun, and then runs off back to where the rest of her team are. But she finds that everyone has become like Jack. She tries talking to them, asking if they recognize her.

They lurch towards her, so she shoots one of them in the chest. But he shrugs it off, and then continues to move forward with the others. Meanwhile, Integra is in a helicopter, and informs someone that she's already on her way to Cheddar. She tells them not to worry, as the hunter she's sent in is perfectly suited to this type of situation, so just leave it to them. Meanwhile, Seras has run away from the ghouls, but then stops. She thinks this isn't the kind of thing she expected when she signed up with D11.

She then sees another ghoul heading towards her. She takes aim and thinks that this thing isn't human, but before she can fire, someone else kills it. Alucard appears, and looks at Seras. He tells the police girl that it's a beautiful night. It's especially beautiful if you're a blood sucker.

Seras responds by shooting him, with her bullet blowing part of one of his shoulders off. He laughs and regenerates his shoulder, but backs off a little. Seras tells him he's not human, and starts running again. As Alucard watches her go, he asks if she would have shot him if he was human.

Seras arrives at a graveyard, but sees a church next to it. She enters it, and hears someone say that the church has always offered sanctuary to those who are in distress. It's the Priest, who says good evening to Seras. He thinks she's so fresh, so full of life... and so frightened by the evil creatures that walk the night.

Seras asks him if he's really a Priest. He says he's merely a guide to the weak of heart. Seras explains she's on a mission, involving a Priest. She thinks he isn't like the rest of them, and he says she must be speaking of the ghouls outside. He says that those ghouls are the undead slaves of the vampire. When a vampire drinks a human's blood, the corpse left behind will move under the vampire's control. Vampires can't turn every human they drink from into one of their own. He decides to give an example, and uses some kind of spell on Seras.

He grabs her and says that turning her into a ghoul would be such a waste. The blood that courses through her body is warmer and sweeter than she can imagine. He starts laughing, but Seras weakly tells him to let her go, otherwise she'll shoot him and blow his brains out. He tells her he knows she's feeling pain, but he will give her pleasure, which will last forever.

Alucard then kicks down the door, and tells the Priest he's had enough of him. The Priest asks who he is, and Alucard says he's a servant of the Hellsing organization. He deals with garbage like him. The Priest laughs and asks who he thinks he's talking to, has he lost his mind? Alucard tells the Priest that he's even less than garbage, he's just scum. And that ridiculous costume... he looks like some sad carnival freak. Doesn't he have any shame in wearing those Priest's robes?

The Priest thinks Alucard should die now, and an army of ghouls rise up. They point guns at Alucard, and Sera realizes one of them is her Captain. Alucard tells the Priest he's a fool who creates slaves to do his dirty work. He's a coward and incapable of doing anything on his own. He doesn't think the Priest is worthy of the lowest pits of hell. The Priest orders his ghouls to kill Alucard, so they start firing.

Alucard is riddled with bullets, and falls down. The Priest thinks Alucard was all talk. But Alucard then revives, regenerating any injuries or severed limbs. He gets back up and says that shooting him isn't going to do any good, and it'll take more than guns to stop him. The Priest orders his ghouls to fire again.

Alucard pulls out the Casull and starts firing, blowing away the ghouls and completely destroying them. Seras thinks Alucard isn't human, but the Priest realizes Alucard is a vampire too. The ghouls are reduced to dust, but he tells Alucard to stop this -both of them are vampires.

Alucard thinks the Priest acts more like a cockroach than a proper vampire. He can't stand him, and doesn't think he has the self-respect to be a vampire. He calls the Priest an undead maggot, someone who barely knows what he is. As for himself, he has his own reasons for serving his human master. He points his gun at the Priest and says that story isn't for trash like him. He explains that his gun fires a 13 millimeter explosive round, a silver cross from Lanchester church was melted into the alloy for the bullets. He tells the Priest to prepare himself for an eternity in hell. The Priest tells him he'll have to kill the girl to get to him, and he doesn't think Alucard can do it. He starts to try and negotiate with Alucard, wanting to be allowed to escape.

Alucard tells the police girl that he's going to fire his gun now, and the bullet will rip through her lungs before it hits the maggot vampire's heart. He knows she doesn't want to die tonight, and asks if she wants to come with him. He can't force her into this, it's a decision she has to make of her own free will.

Seras says yes, so Alucard fires. The bullets passes through her and hits the Priest, who is sent crashing onto a cross on a wall. As soon as he hits it, he disintegrates. Alucard then walks up to a dying Seras, and tells her to remember that the choice was always hers.

He tells her that this is where she's supposed to close her eyes, and she eventually does so. He then bits down onto her neck, and sucks her blood. Meanwhile, Integra and her forces have arrived in the village.

She sees Alucard walking towards her, and also sees that he's carrying someone. He says that his mission objective was accomplished, and the target vampire was silenced. Integra thinks it took him far too long to silence just one target, but she then looks at Seras. She says she'll have someone take care of her.

Alucard says no -he wants the police girl transferring to the Hellsing organization. Integra says Alucard doesn't get to make decisions, but he says the police girl made the choice herself. Integra walks off, and says it's time for them to leave. As the helicopters take off, Alucard looks up at the Moon, and says this was a perfect night.
