Through a combination of sources - ranging from Amelia's explanation to the coded journal that Evelyn brought back - the Doctor learns that the Dusk's vampires were created during the First World War by a covert government organization known only as the Forge. Having somehow acquired a sample of vampire DNA, they were using it to convert prisoners, incurable patients and other disposable individuals into super-soldiers to tip the war in the favor of the British. Their reluctant creator, one Dr William Abberton, was careful to engineer the newly-created vampires with varied weaknesses - some to sunlight, some to water, and some even to helium - but that ultimately did little to prevent the subjects: breaking out of captivity in 1915, they shot Dr Abberton dead and escaped into Britain's criminal underworld.

The Sixth Doctor takes Evelyn to South East London for (allegedly) the best fast food duck in the universe. They encounter a group of genetically modified humans working at a casino, whose patrons have a habit of mysteriously disappearing. One casino waitress, Cassie, befriends Evelyn and confides that she's being blackmailed.
The Doctor tries to help the genetically modified people, and strives to find a cure for them. However, he backs off ''very'' quickly when he realises that they're vampires -- humans artificially modified to resemble [[Recap/DoctorWhoS18E4StateOfDecay the Time Lords' greatest enemies]]. In a fit of FantasticRacism, the Doctor gets careless, and he accidentally endangers Evelyn's life when she and Cassie are ambushed. Cassie, bleeding heavily and whimpering with pain and fear, is brought to the lab.
The vampires, meanwhile, explain to the Doctor that they're ''not'' AlwaysChaoticEvil. They were created as UsefulNotes/WorldWarI PsychoPrototype weapons by the government. Their creator, a man named Dr. William Abberton, simply wanted to save his country by creating them. But everything went wrong, and now the vampires are forced to drink blood to survive, still kind of sanctioned by the government but in no way in control of their hunger. The Doctor feels guilty over his FantasticRacism and vows to find a cure for the vampirism. He soon cracks their genetic code and, together with vampire Amelia, finds a way to modify their genetic makeup. At which point the vampires turn out to be AlwaysChaoticEvil after all, steal his research and set about making ''all'' of mankind into vampires, starting with Cassie.
After some absolutely nightmarish torture, Cassie -- now a vampire -- is beset by HorrorHunger and gets set loose on Evelyn. She promptly [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome turns on the other vampires]] and helps Evelyn escape instead.
Meanwhile, Dr. William Abberton (now going by "Nimrod") reveals that his creations nearly killed him back in UsefulNotes/WorldWarI. He chose to inject himself with vampirism in order to survive, and enhanced himself with bionic armor. He's also ''not'' happy with the Doctor interfering, and wants his creations back as soon as possible.
In the end, the entire Forge is blown up, although Nimrod escapes (and [[SequelHook possibly]] Amelia as well). Cassie declines to become a companion, so the Doctor drops her off in the long Norway winter night and promises to come back for her once he's found a perfect cure.

They encounter universe, only to unexpectedly blunder into a group trail of genetically modified humans working half-eaten animals leading into a neighboring alleyway just outside the Dusk, a popular local casino. There, they find that one of the casino workers has been shot in the chest with a crossbow, and though they arrive too late to get a good look at his attacker, the Doctor is eventually able to convince the casino's owners, LondonGangster Reggie Mead and Amelia Doory, to let them help the unfortunate worker before he dies of his injuries. Unfortunately, by the time they get down to it, the worker dies - via swelling up like a casino, whose balloon and exploding.
As it soon becomes clear, Reggie, Amelia, and a good deal of their employees are genetically-modified test subjects escaped from a government experiment, and are attempting to find a cure for their conditions - hence why the Dusk is outfitted with a fully-equipped laboratory... and why violent casino patrons have ahabit of mysteriously disappearing. One tendency to vanish during the night. Unfortunately, Amelia's attempts have all ended in failure; worse still, the modified refugees are being hunted by a mysterious killer known only as Nimrod - the same man who shot the casino worker earlier.
While the Doctor discusses the situation, Reggie catches one of the human casino waitresses snooping around his files, and is only prevented from getting violent by the timely arrival of Evelyn. The waitress, Cassie,befriends Evelyn is reluctant to put her trust in Evelyn, but after being rescued from one of Nimrod's crazed former victims and confides helped back home, she gradually opens up to the fact that she's being blackmailed.blackmailed: having discovered that the casino waitress is a young mother, Nimrod is threatening to murder Cassie's son Tommy unless she agrees to act as his spy inside the Dusk. So far, she's managed to find a coded journal by a UsefulNotes/WorldWarI-era scientist, but little else. Worse still, Nimrod pays a visit later and leaves Cassie seriously hurt, forcing Evelyn to take her back to the Dusk for treatment.
Back at the casino, the Doctor is sympathetic to Amelia's plight and agrees to help find a cure for her fellow sufferers, seemingly finding great success in isolating the nanites used in Nimrod's crossbow bolts. However, everything changes when Nimrod himself pays another visit to the Dusk, killing one of Reggie's business partners in the process: revealing blood packs in the dead man's briefcase, Nimrod draws attention to the fact that Reggie doesn't possess a reflection, and the Doctor finally realizes that the people he's been trying to help are actually vampires - humans genetically altered with samples taken from [[Recap/DoctorWhoS18E4StateOfDecay the Time Lords' greatest enemies]].

But everything went wrong, and now the vampires are forced to drink blood to survive, still kind of sanctioned by the government but in no way in control of their hunger. The Doctor feels guilty over his FantasticRacism and vows to find a cure for the vampirism. He soon cracks their genetic code and, together with vampire Amelia, finds a way to modify their genetic makeup. At which point the vampires turn out to be AlwaysChaoticEvil after all, steal his research and set about making ''all'' of mankind into vampires, starting with Cassie.

He chose to inject himself with vampirism in order to survive, and enhanced himself with bionic armor. He's also ''not'' happy with the Doctor interfering, and wants his creations back as soon as possible.
