Synopsis
The Hellsing forces enter the Tower of London and start fighting Incognito's SAS freaks, but they quickly start taking heavy losses. Walter explains to Integra that the British army have been sent in to rescue the Queen. Integra doesn't understand, as the Queen isn't at the tower, so why hasn't the Round Table stopped this? Walter reveals that the attack order came from the Round Table, meaning one of the members is a traitor. Back at the tower, only Pickman is left, but he is saved by Alucard.
Integra attempts to call the Round Table conference, but things don't go well. She tells Walter to get in touch with Fargason, but he doesn't answer. Fargason has been confronted by several soldiers, but he tells them that he can't let the Hellsing organization be impeded in any circumstances. Seras arrives just in time to see him get shot and killed by a sniper. She enters an armored troop carrier and changes into her uniform, whilst also getting her Harkonnen cannon. She then rushes into the tower.
Pickman is critically wounded, but asks Alucard to shoot him to stop himself from turning into a ghoul. Alucard does so and then heads towards where Incognito is. Seras attempts to follow, but she is attacked by Paul Wilson. Back at the Hellsing HQ, two of the Queen's men visit and tell Integra that the Royal family won't forget the contributions the Hellsing organization have made over this century, and she can take solace that at sunrise her Judas shall be punished. As they leave, Integra and Walter decide to get to the Tower of London via helicopter.
Paul changes into a werewolf, but Seras shoves a Harkonnen round into his mouth, which detonates and kills him. Meanwhile, Alucard finds and seemingly defeats Incognito. He wants to know who his human master is, but Incognito reveals that he's far from defeated. He starts laughing as the entire room is basked in a demonic light. A beam of light strikes through Alucard, which almost severs one of his hands.
Seras runs in with more ammo for her master, but he tells her to run away -just as Incognito sends a projectile directly towards her! Meanwhile, a news reporter states that the Royal family is out of harm's way. London's own special armed units have been sent in and are now infiltrating the tower.
