(Alucard begins to disappear)
What's this?! What's happening?! Answer me!!
MMajor
It's more a question of where. (chuckles) He has absorbed the essence of Warrant Officer Schrodinger, but as you can see, zis meal isn't quite agreeing with him, is it, mein Fraulein? By drinking Schrodinger's blood, Alucard has become the paradoxical cat. He is now shackled by infinite possibility- a Cheshire, chasing its unknowable tail across the endless vista. As long as he is self-aware, he is everywhere and nowhere. But zat conundrum is now multiplied by the millions of lives and consciousnesses within Alucard. To wit, he is no longer capable of recognizing himself. 'What does this all mean?' you ask? Alucard is kaput, gone! Not alive, dead or even undead! He has become abstraction. He is... an imaginary number.
Alucard! Don't close your eyes! Heed my voice! (Alucard continues to fade, his various eyes closing) Alucard! I'm giving you an order! :::::::(pause, tearfully) Don't leave me!
(smiles sadly) I fear... I must disobey you. Farewell, Integra. (vanishes)
(grief-stricken) Alucard! (around them, the Deus Ex Machina's control room catches fire)
...I vill. But...not just yet. Sorry to disappoint you, Hellsing!
Impossible- I saw the shell hit you! You're dead.
Zat's where you're wrong. I have never been more alive. (the smoke clears, revealing his damaged cyborg body)
Good Gracious- didn't your mother ever teach you zat it's rude to stare? Machinery aside, I am just as human now as I ever vas, Fraulein.
(disgusted)...Look at you, Major. A clockwork monstrosity.
Deny it all you want! My humanity is not in question. I still have zat one trait zat puts us in ascendance even above ze angels- it is my :vill zat drives me! Ze vampires you vere so happy to keep in your employ- without ze lifeblood of others to keep them going, they vould shamble to a halt! If it's a monster you vant, look no further than Alucard, and zis little one- playing at immortality. Don't mention me in ze same breath as zat fraud! So long as I am propelled forward by my own, unadulterated will, I am heir to something Alucard can only steal. Even if I were reduced to nothing more zan a brain in a jar- synapses firing in a sea of pure thought- I am human, just like you are! Vithin me rests a human soul- and a human's will, precious beyond all vorth. He smiles at you, in ze form of a young girl, or pulls at your heartstrings in ze guise of a weary veteran- so many faces ze monster has, and all of zem stolen! All of zem lies! I despise him. Every cell in my body called for his annihilation. So, I destroyed his kingdom and cast him down into ze dust! Fitting- zat it took a man vit ze trappings of a monster, to slay a monster vit ze trappings of a man! He was a casualty of my will. (pause) My enemy is not human. My enemy is less than a human. Since ze earliest dawning of mankind, zis is ze battlecry! It just happened to be more literal, in my case (laughs, points at Integra) Zat battlecry- zose thoughts are running through your mind right now, aren't zey? I planted ze seeds of zis var half a century ago- now, show me what has blossomed.
[Alucard returns, thirty years later. He walks over to a sleeping Integra and bends over, apparently to bite her neck, but she suddenly sits up and empties a handgun into him]
(bursts into the room with her Harkonnen) Are we under attack again, Master?! (she turns on the lights, she and Integra stare in disbelief at Alucard)
(chuckling as his wounds heal) Such a violent welcome. What an honor.
(looks away, curtly) You're a bit later than I expected, Alucard. Care to explain yourself?
Killing oneself takes some time... and in my situation, there was a lot of self to kill. Three million, four hundred twenty-four thousand, eight hundred sixty-seven souls, within me... clouding my mind, denying me awareness. I butchered them all, until only I remained. I have returned here... but, I'm also always nowhere. It's a conundrum. The truth of it is, I am everywhere. (his eyes glow pink, like Schrodinger's)
You've returned... and in the meantime, I have grown old and grey.
(turns to face him) Were you skulking in here... to drink my blood?
(laughs) You need to ask? I haven't eaten anything in thirty years- I'm famished. (Integra walks over to him)
(sadly) The young woman you knew is gone. I'm... ancient.
(gently) And I'm not? (Integra smiles, then bites her finger until it bleeds)
You're home... my dear Count.
Back forevermore... my Countess.
[Integra extends her arm; Alucard opens his mouth hungrily. As a drop of blood falls from her finger into Alucard's mouth, the series ends]
[Lindsay is making coffee in the pantry when Halstead walks in]
That stuff will kill ya now, apparently. Saw an article online.
Well, that is last on the very long list of things that I'm concerned about. [pours coffee into her mug]
[holds his mug to her] Pleasssee?
How long have we worked together, a month? I think it's time we could be honest with each other. Wouldn't you agree?
Two things: One, you driving all the time, I'm not down with that.
I've been on the job longer.
I've been in this unit longer.
Okay, look, I feel like a househusband.
Aw. What's the second thing?
What's the deal with you and Voight?
We went to prom together.
I mean, is he your secret dad or something? Put it this way if I were to ask you out, would I have to get his permission first?
[scoffs] Any guy who needs to ask my dad's permission to date me should save himself the trouble.
Uh, yeah, three years, waiting until I got into the police academy.
[looks at Burgess disbelievingly] Flight attendant? [Lindsay snickers into her glass]
You can break my balls all you want, but I learned more about crowd control and conflict resolution and intimidation tactics traits that will serve me well when you guys detail me up into Intelligence. Hint, hint.
LHLindsay & Halstead
[grin to each other] Oh. Wow.
Oh, I just kicked around. Nothing glamorous.
Ever see anything like you did today? [Lindsay looks warily at Halstead] I'm sorry. I forget I asked that. That was a stupid question.
[Ruzek and Olinsky are getting their disguises ready for their undercover assignment]
When's the last time you brushed your teeth?
I'm supposed to be homeless, man.
That's not a good excuse.
[Atwater and Burgess get into their squad car and realize Platt assigned them to a smelly one]
What did you do to Platt?
I didn't do nothing to Platt.
What did you do to Platt? You must have done something. Burgess, I'm gonna tell you this right now. Don't walk down a road you can't come back from.
Okay, fine. I called her a house mouse.
She ran me all over creation for this gaudy ring of her cousin's, and then she–– I'm sorry. Sometimes my temper can hinder my ability to communicate.
EGErica Grashiar
Key witness was found dead. Is that right?
GGrashiar
I am informed, however, in how you got reinstated. You were supposed to be a pipeline for I.A. into some heavy hitters, but you haven't given us a damn thing.
I'll make a move on him soon.
GGrashiar
Hey. Don't jerk me off with "soon." You work for me, Hank. You work for me! Do you understand?!
I work for Chicago. You understand? Chicago. [looks at the city skyline] Look at that. I remember when I was in grade school, the teacher read us a story by some precious little writer from a long time ago. I think he's English or something. And he was bagging on this place after visiting here. Know what he called it? He called it "A city inhabited by savages." [looks seriously at Gradishar] We move when I say we move.
[after Dawson holds up his fist for a fist bump] Do me one favor: Do not give me one of those open-fingered explosion hands that people do. I hate that. If it's your thing, I'd rather high five.
[Lindsay and Dawson fist bump and Dawson does the open-fingered explosion]
[glares at Dawson] Never again.
