Enrico tells his boyfriend Mick he's sorry. He says he knows it hurts. As he sees the blood trickling out of Mick's mouth, he says it threatens to engulf himself as well. But from now on, they can share it together, forever.

He's about to bite him when several men burst into the room, shocked at what they see. Enrico says all he wanted was for them to be together forever.

In London, a train arrives at a station. Out of it steps Father Alexander Anderson, who is welcomed to London by a steward. Anderson tells her to go with God.

In a morgue, some doctors examine Enrico's body. One of them says he's a 20 year old male and his time of death was approximately 72 hours ago. But the subject has been mobile up until 12 hours ago. Outside, Integra and a police lieutenant are watching. The lieutenant says Enrico was the son of a noble Italian family, who was attending a local university. Integra thinks the boy's family would have installed some discipline, as gentleman don't drink other people's blood -such behavior is reserved for peasants.

A doctor cuts open Enrico, removing a small chip from inside him. He says they've got one, but this chip isn't functioning. Integra thinks these chips are becoming a problem. The lieutenant asks if it's possible that this recent increase in vampire activity is part of some larger, unseen plan. Integra says it still doesn't change the Hellsing organization's mission: search and destroy. As she leaves, she tells the lieutenant that she's assuming he'll be looking into the boy's known associates and whereabouts before the incident. The lieutenant says they've already begun their investigation.

One doctor tells another to stitch up all the incisions. They would usually burn the remains, but as this subject doesn't belong to them, someone from Rome is going to be picking up the body later. As the chip has been pulled, Enrico won't be a problem any more. At the Hellsing HQ, Seras staggers back to her room, feeling tired and truly dead. She sees more medical blood has been left for her, so she decides to drink it.

But she then changes her mind and flushes the blood away. She then hears Alucard's voice in her head, asking her what she thinks she'd going. He asks how many times does he have to tell her: if she doesn't drink blood, she will become weak. Her physical strength should be far beyond that of any normal human being, but look at her now. Seras says she knows she needs it, but she hears a voice in her head telling her it's not right. She feels like she's changing into something so inhuman. She then leaves her room.

Integra looks at the chip, just as Alucard appears. She says that humans are creating vampires and asks him what he thinks that says about the world they've created. Alucard thinks it says that history is full of man's cheap imitations. Integra thinks perhaps that's his true vampiric pride talking. She wants to know what in essence is the difference between the true vampires they've fought for centuries and these chipped, human creatures. She knows he's nothing like those creatures. Alucard asks why she felt the need to say it. He thinks humans are incomprehensible, her and the police girl. Integra then gets a phone call, telling her she has visitors.

Enrico has somehow revived. After escaping from the morgue, he starts killing anyone who gets in his way. He tells Mick he just wanted to be with him forever. He starts searching for Mick, asking where he went. He finds a few weapons, which he starts using to kill policemen.

Integra curses the Vatican and its section 13 bureau, along with the Iscariot organization. She and Walter head outside, as Walter explains what's going on with Enrico. The London police have so far been able to keep him in the basement, but it's only a matter of time before the dead police become ghouls and overpower them. Fargason says they're now leaving for the crime scene.

Gareth's unit, which includes Seras, prepares to leave. Integra instructs for Alucard to be sent over as well. She says this is a Protestant country, she won't allow the Vatican to run rampant. Meanwhile, Enrico continues to slaughter the police, whilst still searching for Mick.

Gareth's unit arrive and enter the building. Gareth tells Seras to hold position here, whilst the rest of the unit goes in. The other troops head off, but a few seconds later, contact with them is lost. Gareth realizes they're all dead. Down the hallway, Enrico is surrounded by ghouls.

Using her advanced vision and hearing, Seras says Enrico is calling out the name Mick. Gareth says Mick's body has already been cremated. Seras then hears Alucard's voice in her head, telling her that when she fires, she needs to make sure she only aims for the heart or the head. Those men did not choose to become ghouls, and once they've been tainted, there is no way for them to be normal again. The best she can offer them is a quick death.

Seras starts firing, quickly destroying all of the ghouls. Enrico walks through the smoke, still screaming Mick's name. Seras thinks about how his lover is not in this world any more. She prepares to shoot him.

But then, Gareth suddenly falls down dead, having had a bayonet stabbed through his back. Seras gets up and turns around just in time to have a bayonet stab through her throat. As she falls down, Anderson appears. He tells her even with her little human friends, she's still a corrupted inhuman monster. He says that Enrico's soul is lost, but his mortal remains will at last find peace at the hands of this most sacred blade.

He walks past the fallen Seras and says he'll now place one more soul to rest. He says he's the instrument of God, messenger of the divine punishment of heaven. Enrico charges forwards him, but before he can do anything Alucard stabs him in the back and causes him to crumble to dust. He tells Anderson he shouldn't have come here.

He tells Seras not to talk, as her body is weak. Anderson thinks Alucard must be the Hellsing family's pet abomination. Alucard knows that Anderson is from Iscariot. Anderson says Iscariot was ridding the world of sacrilegious monsters centuries before the Hellsing family ever existed. He then casts a barrier all over the hallway. He says he'll purify this house so filthy creatures can't use their cheap, black magic. Their mission is to punish any heretic who would deny the word of God, and they'll crush their unholy body, salting the earth with their dust.

Alucard pulls his gun out and tells the human it's time somebody put him in his place. Anderson attacks first, and whilst Alucard avoids some of his strikes, he eventually gets hit. But he has his gun pointed directly at Anderson's head. He says that this blade has been blessed. But the bullet in his gun was made to stop a vampire, now it'll do to send him to hell.

Alucard fires, shooting Anderson in the head. He goes up to Seras and says that bayonet actually hurt, that sort of weapon can be a real problem, even for them. He's about to help Seras up, but then hears something behind him. He turns around just in time to get stabbed by several bayonets.

Anderson is back up, as Alucard realizes that he is a human regenerator. Anderson says he takes an eye for an eye, this technology being the Lord's divine gift. Alucard calls him a failed science project and thinks sending him back to his maker would be an act of mercy. He takes aim at Anderson again and tells him that if he puts enough bullets into his skull, he'll stay down for good.

Anderson thinks those are the empty threats of a coward vampire who hides behind the weapons of man. But before the two can resume fighting, Integra appears and tells Anderson that's enough. Anderson says she doesn't have the authority to command one who is a true servant of God.

Integra tells him that now Enrico has been silenced, his mission in their country has come to an end and his business concluded. Anderson says he thought his business was killing vampires. Integra tells him he's already exceeded his authority and he will suffer the consequences of his actions today. She throws him a piece of paper, which consists of new orders from the Archbishop. He is to return to the Vatican immediately. Anderson reads the paper.

He then leaves, telling Integra that he looks forward to the next time they meet. Integra rips down one of the barrier papers and tells Alucard there is no room in the Hellsing family for a vampire that gets pummeled by a regenerator. She tells Seras that they don't need a half-starved vampire who can't protect her own commander.

As Integra walks outside, she notices Anderson entering a car. Back inside, Alucard tells Seras that she must drink his blood. If she does, only then will she be free of her servitude to him. Once she's free, she'll be ready to become true family. Seras asks if this means that he won't be her master any more.

Alucard says he won't. But she will become a master of the undead, drinking blood and walking the night by her own will. He tells her to drink his blood, calling her by her real name. Seras goes to do so.

But she then stops herself. Alucard says this is what the police girl chose, as he then disappears. Seras says she's not ready.
