Synopsis
The Major watches as Alucard consumes a river of blood. The Doctor exclaims to his commander that he has won, and The Major begins to explain how he sees Alucard not as a man nor as a vampire, but as a walking fortress that fills itself with the souls of it's enemies. He mentions that he has spent years thinking of how he could defeat Alucard. Every waking moment. But what could a mere human do? Being a vampire could have given him the strength, the immortality, everything. But it was not something he could have. It is not something he would take. He recalls the fall of Berlin when the Soviet Army marched through and he was subject to a firing squad. As he laid upon the ground, bleeding out, the bodies of those dead around him began to give up their blood. The blood came toward him to grant him the power of a vampire. But unlike he Count had those many years ago, he refused it, and the blood dispersed by the power of his will to remain human.

The Major recalls how he was found by The Doctor and The Captain after the fall of Berlin, his will the only thing keeping him alive. He realizes at that moment what a vampire is. Someone who takes blood, lives and souls. No. The Major would not. His blood was his own. His life was his own. His soul was his own. In the middle of the stream of blood, Schrödinger stands. The Major wonders if it were ever possible for Anderson or Walter to defeat him, and he comes to the conclusion that it wasn't. Not so long as he is holed up in the fortress of blood he has built around himself. The Ottoman Empire's fall was Alucard's doing. His attack on London 100 years ago, Alucard has been taking in so much blood that his life seems endless and his powers limitless. But there is one weakness The Major will exploit. He will poison the king at his feast. He will poison the stream of blood, the only way he can kill Alucard.

Elsewhere, Seras and The Captain continue their fight. The Captain in a smokey wolf form hammers her, knocking her to the level below their floor. She begins to lose hope, knowing that she is outmatched.
