Seras finds herself in a large room. Another person appears before her, and then a woman materializes in his arms. The man is Paul Wilson, and the woman tells him to bite her throat. She wants him to drink her body dry, so he asks if that's what she really wants. She tells him she wants him to do it.

Paul does so, which causes a river of blood to start filling the room. Seras asks why he's showing her this, so he tells her he knows she wants it. He drops the woman to the ground and tells Seras that he and she are the same... they're both the same. Seras screams out no.

Seras wakes up from her nightmare. She goes up to Integra's office and sees Alucard inside, initially exciting her. But as she gets closer, she realizes that her master is standing next to the injured Integra.

Later, Walter informs Integra about an attack on a girl's dormitory in Cambridge. Some of the victims were drained of blood, whilst others were horribly mutilated and killed. He says that it seems the freaks are trying to increase their power. Integra asks how many attackers there were, but Walter says they don't have an official report yet. But the witness accounts places the number at around 60 men. He's afraid that Parker's SAS unit has been turned into freaks.

Walter says he has a report that states the weaponry used at the recent Trafalgar Square attack matches the equipment Parker's SAS people were using. A Round Table conference in Westminster has been called which will take place without Integra being there due to health concerns. Integra says there's no need for a Round Table conference about this, as it seems that the Queen has a plan. Outside, Seras watches a car pull up and two men head inside the HQ. But as she turns around, she briefly sees Paul nearby.

She goes to check it out, but he suddenly vanishes. Fargason then walks up to her and says he's here to tell her that she's being transferred. He's discharging her from her duties in the Hellsing first action unit, and reassigning her to information retrieval. Seras asks why. Fargason says they're in the process of replacing almost their entire membership with new recruits. Her presence effects the morale of the new members. Seras says she understands and she accepts the assignment. Fargason tells her to remember that even if she's working in a different unit, she's still an officer of Hellsing -show some pride.

A news report states that the Royal family was the intended target of the recent Trafalgar Square bombing. Buckingham Palace has been put on alert and the Queen's annual Maundy ceremony set for tomorrow has been cancelled. Scotland Yard is on the lookout for a terrorist group that they believe is still somewhere in London. At the Hellsing HQ, the two men who were seen entering earlier leave. Integra thinks about the royal order.

She goes to see Alucard. Alucard says that humans are so easily manipulated and then says he has something he's wanted to ask her. He asks if she's ever felt like asking him to drink her blood. Has she ever thought about mixing her blood with his, to become more than she is? Integra asks why he doesn't just read her thoughts, but he says he has -he just really wants to hear it from her. Integra suddenly feels pain in her shoulder.

Alucard tells her she is strong for a human, but the enemy they will be confronting next is unlike any other. Integra says she's received orders from the Queen. As head of the Hellsing family, it's the first time she's been given this honor. Alucard says he can remember her father performing the same ceremony, but he thinks the timing is bad, as it'll be too much for her right now. Integra says she has to attend. Alucard says his contract hasn't changed, he belongs as always to her and her family. Integra starts to leave, saying that the ceremony is tomorrow. Alucard asks her if she wants a taste of his blood before she leaves. Integra stops, but then continues to walk away.

The next morning, a news report states that representatives have been meeting in Westminster today to discuss the emergency measures put in place. They then find out that the Queen has just left the palace under heavy security, and the Maundy ceremony will be taking place at the Tower of London. Walter helps Integra get ready, although he thinks she should be resting. He asks if he should call the car to have her taken to the tower. But Integra says she wasn't planning on leaving the house. After consulting with the Queen, she agreed it would be appropriate to hold the ceremony here.

Meanwhile, Seras decides to go and visit Helena. She knocks on the door and says she's not here on business, she just needs to talk to someone. But there is no response, and she can then sense something is wrong. She kicks the door down, but the place seems to be deserted. She pulls her gun out and heads further into the room, but then realizes someone else is there.

Fargason tells Integra that something is happening at the Tower of London. He doesn't have the details yet, but an agent's report states they're under a freak attack. Integra thinks the greedy little bastard took the bait. The tower is the final resting place for many threats to the crown. She tells Fargason to go and spill vampire blood. Fargason asks about the security at HQ, but Integra says the Secret Service will handle it. Their enemy is a trained division of SAS troops, so she tells Fargason to use all available personnel.

Incognito appears before Seras. Seras asks where Helena is. Incognito tells her that her blood is of Alucard's blood, but still she is powerless. As he walks forward, Seras sees blood all around his mouth. Incognito then drops one of Helena's shoes, as Seras realizes that Incognito has eaten her. He tells Seras he'll chew the meat from her bones.

Seras shoots him in the face, but he survives. She fires every bullet she has, but he just laughs it off and pulls out his grenade launcher. He walks up to Seras and asks her if she feels regret for not drinking blood and becoming stronger. Seras says never, and calls Incognito filth. Incognito asks if she wishes she'd stayed mortal, is her only regret that she allowed Alucard's filthy blood into her body?

He's about to shoot her, but then he senses something. Helena's ghost appears but then vanishes. Incognito fires a grenade which blows up a large part of the room. But he then starts screaming, as Helena appears from within his own body.

At the Hellsing HQ, Integra says that she, as a Royal Arch of Enoch, offers prayer for her country. Nearby, Alucard is waiting, but he can sense something is going on with Incognito. Incognito swats Seras aside and then uses a knife on himself. He slices through Helena's arm and head, detaching them from his body.

Helena's remains fall to the ground, as Incognito starts laughing. He says that he lives for nothing else but total destruction. He leaves, so Seras goes up to Helena's remains. Helena tells her not to cry. Even with supposed immortal creatures, when their bodies get torn asunder, their essences are freed and allowed to wander the heavens.

She tells Seras to be a loyal and worthy companion to her master, and destroy the creature from the dark continent. She believes that, like Alucard, Incognito is also being kept by human masters. His actions are serving human desires. She tells Seras to hurry, as her compatriots are walking into a most clever trap. As the building starts to catch fire, she says her body will soon be gone. She closes her eyes, so Seras leaves.

Fargason tells Pickman that the targets aren't ghouls, they're freaks that wear SAS gear. The targets are still vampires, so he wants Pickman to make sure his men know to shoot for the head or chest. Pickman says he never expected to end up fighting the SAS. Fargason tells him that both God and the Queen are with them. The Hellsing unit then move into the Tower of London. Nearby, Seras tries to contact anybody via radio, trying to warn them that it's a trap.

A news report states that there has been an explosion at the Tower of London, but they still don't know what's going on inside. They can hear the sound of heavy gunfire inside, and plumes of smoke can be seen all over London. Walter receives a call from the Round Table conference, demanding to know what's going on, as they're supposed to work secretly. He wants to know what the situation is, and is shocked when he's told his organization have been labeled as traitors who are staging an attack on her Majesty. Meanwhile, Alucard creates a pentagram over his master. He tells her that her Queen will not be coming.

She asks what he's doing, but he just says she'll have to keep herself out of trouble for a while, whilst he goes out to have a bit of fun. As he vanishes, Walter arrives to tell her what's happened. Back at the Tower of London, the fighting is getting worse -and the news reports now tell everyone that the enemy are private soldiers in the employ of the Hellsing organization.
