A guy in a building hears a knock on the door. He goes to see who it is, but then a special forces team barge in. They ignore anything the guy says and quickly find where the workers are, who are working on freak chips. The commander reports what they've found, but the guy tells him he can't touch that chip. However the guy then gets shot in the head.

The special forces team and workers all get shot, but one guy manages to pull the pin on a grenade and throw it towards where all the gunfire is coming from. Second later, the entire floor the team is on explodes.

Integra and Fargason watch as new Hellsing recruits run through an assault course. Fargason says there are 74 candidates up for membership. Integra says she trusts him and then leaves. She heads back to her car, where Walter tells her that they've had a report from one of their embassy men. A factory in Hong Kong was found which had been producing quantities of the freak chip. The Hong Kong police investigated the matter, but all the evidence was destroyed. Integra says that once again, their hand is blocked.

Walter looks at the assault course and says allowing heathens and atheists membership into their honorable organization... such a thing is without precedent in the family, but he does understand they have no choice. Integra says even drawing from the SAS they won't acquire many skilled soldiers they can trust, but at the present time a show of force is more important than trust. She hopes this group will be strong enough to avoid becoming ghouls. At the assault course, Seras runs through what the new recruits need to do. One of the soldiers says he heard some crap about there being a real vampire in this unit. As everyone starts laughing, Seras tells the guy who asked the question that there seems to be something wrong with his MP5.

She bends the barrel with ease, shocking everyone. She tells him that he'd better go and get his gun replaced quickly, or he'll miss his chance to test. She then walks off.

Another special forces team have gunned down a vampire, causing his car to crash. The chip from the vampire is taken and studied by scientists, who then report their findings to Integra. However the lead scientist says that the human to vampire metamorphosis still remains a total mystery. The freak effect is so potent that one chip is all that's necessary to effect a single organism. Their leading theory is that the chip somehow acts upon information latent in human DNA.

Integra says their findings are irrelevant. Throughout history her Hellsing organization and family have been detecting, hunting and destroying creatures that have posed a threat to her Majesty, the country and its citizens. Now they face these artificial freaks, but a freak is a freak. The enemy gave up their own factory and sacrificed the chip designer's life all because they feared any physical evidence would eventually lead to them being discovered. Therefore, the enemy is human and is on the run. She says they only have one command and one mission: to search and destroy.

Seras returns to her own apartment. She cooks a pie and looks at pictures of her father, telling him that she can't eat things like this anymore. She thinks it's all wrong, she finally became a police officer, but now...

She then hears someone knocking at the door. She turns the lights off and pulls out a gun, asking who's there. The person on the other side says he's come a long way to see her. Seras opens the door and sees that it's Harry Anders, the MI5 agent she'd met previously. She lets him in and asks how he knew how to find her here. He says that investigating things is his job, as she knows. Seras tells him that actually, she has no idea who he is.

Harry introduces himself and where he's from. He says that despite the fact both of them are sworn to protect Queen and country, the differences are immense. Their agencies, their agendas, he's human, whilst she's something else. Seras asks what he wants with her. He tells her she's observant, a copper through and through, as was her dad. Seras asks how he knew her father. Harry says it was a long time ago, something he'll tell her about sometime. But right now, there's a place he needs to take her.

Harry and Seras drive to a building. They use an elevator to get to the roof, where they go up to a large door. Seras sees Harry check his gun, so she pulls out hers, but he says she won't be needing it. He was just checking his because being human leaves him a bit vulnerable. He then knocks on the door. A woman answers, asking who is there. Harry introduces himself and asks if he can ask a few questions.

The door opens, so Harry and Seras go inside. There they see Helena, a vampire who looks like a young girl. Harry thanks her for seeing them, but she says she usually doesn't entertain. Seras realizes Helena is a vampire. Helena thinks Seras hasn't been a child of the darkness for a particularly long time. She tells Harry he must have brought Seras here in the hopes she'd shield him from her. Harry apologizes for the ruse, but he really wasn't left with much choice. Helena gets up and asks Seras if she was reborn through carnal means, or has she yet to discover all the pleasures of being a woman? Seras asks her when she joined the undead. Helena says it was far too long ago, but she has always remained as she is now, and will do forever.

Helena tells Harry she's a very private and passive individual, both by information and ability. She says she's no threat, as she's sure his investigations have shown, so why does he insist on this harassment? Harry says he's aware she's undead, whilst he wouldn't say she's on the side of the angels exactly, she's a member of a small cabal of creatures that don't threaten the night world. But around 18 months ago, a new breed of night children appeared, lacking the morals and pride of her people. These creatures have rampaged and attacked his people, turning many of them into ghouls. He says Seras belongs to the Hellsing organization. Helena immediately glares at Seras. Seras says she's only disposed of the artificial freaks. Helena tells her about all the friends she's lost to Hellsing's butchery.

Seras says she's so sorry, but Helena tells her it's not her apology to give. She places her hand on Seras and is able to read her mind. She says now she understands, the one who made Seras is being kept by the Hellsing organization. She thinks Seras is much blessed. Harry says they've come to talk to her about the dangers England faces, as humans are using machines to create this new breed of freak vampires. They aren't elegant creatures, they are vapid, greedy things whose dark desires are a twisted farce of humanity. But their power is not even close to the source of a true vampire such as her. Helena says this prattle wears on her patience, but she will talk to him on the condition he'll allow her to return to her solitude.

Helena sits back down and says that whenever they research the chip design, or discover a manufacturing plant, it's destroyed, as if someone is impeding their investigation. Harry says they need to get to the point. He may be with MI5, but he didn't come here on any sort of official request and he doubts they'd approve of it. On the other hand, he believes God will forgive him for noticing that their interests run parallel, and maybe they can help each other work for the greater good. He needs information she can provide about her and her cabal. This investigation has been leading him to the conclusion that there may be some sort of traitor among her compatriots. Helena says there is no such cabal, they are all individual. They're free from land, country, religion and all petty forms of human bondage. Eternity is however a very tiring existence.

She says she doesn't wish to leave her home, as old as she may be, she still has many books she looks forward to reading. Humans forget the nature of the world, they treat it as property. They must find the Magna Carta. Man's will alone is not enough, raw materials are necessary for any creation. To make a forgery, they must have an original to forge. She says that no English vampire is involved in this madness. She then says good evening to both of them. Harry and Seras then leave.

Seras thinks Helena seemed lonely. Harry drops Seras off at her apartment and then leaves. As Seras goes inside, she doesn't get to open the door before she hears an explosion. She rushes back out to see that Harry's car has exploded, killing him.

At the Hellsing HQ, Integra goes to her office, only to find that she's somehow entered the assault course. The next thing she knows she's suddenly tied up to a pole and gagged, as several of the new soldiers saw saw earlier blow down the door and storm in. They start laughing and take aim at her.

The walls suddenly all fall down, and she can see a pentagram in the skies above. She then hears Alucard's voice, who says he's releasing his control art restriction to level 2. Integra breaks free and screams Alucard's name. The pentagram in the sky dims down and then vanishes.

Alucard appears, so Integra asks him what the hell is going on. He asks his master if she's ever wondered how it feels to be hunted. As he starts laughing, Integra asks him to explain what he's laughing about it. Alucard says all the time he's served her, he has been pitted against pretenders and frauds. But this time it's different, a real enemy has finally come to their tiny little island. He says it will be a battle between two genuine monsters.

Elsewhere in England, the vampire known as Incognito has arrived...
