Van Helsing

Previously on Van Helsing...

My name is Dr Bruce Harrison.

You're trying to isolate different vampire traits.

Harrison wanted me to find that book so that I'd think you were my mum.

We'll have your sister within the day.

I will never be like you.

You guys are gonna go up the mountain. Meet you at Crooked Falls.

How can you be in the sun without burning?

- We're closing in on your location now. - Who was that?

These people need me now more than ever.

Find your daughter, and then I'll find you.

You're my mother? What is that on your neck?

It's blood from the Dark One. The first.

The blood of the first flows through the sister's veins.

If you were truly bound to me, go find my sister.

- Take it. - Don't leave me again!

Ow!

We'll take that one.

But why did we have to leave her there?

Why? I don't understand.

- Hush now, sweetie. Hush. - It's for the best, Vanessa, you'll see.

No, no, no, no, no.

Vanessa, please stop.

- Your father needs to drive. - He's not my father! He's not!

- He's not! He's not! - Goddammit!

We're trying to keep you both alive!

Watch out!

You.

Yes.

It is I.

Mummy?

Listen to me, child.

Your sister sent me to find you.

I did that.

Killed the others.

All of this I did for you.

Stop this.

We don't have much time.

You're not my sister.

Vanessa... Vanessa, it's me!

Susan!

OK? Susan.

Susan?

Uh-huh. OK?

I've done what I was asked to do, OK?

What I was bound to...

Will you release me now?

That's...

No... no.

If my sister sent you, then take me to her.

Vanessa?

Scarlett.

What is this?

I have no idea.

There's someone you need to meet.

Who's that?

You know who it is.

No.

It's me, Essa.

I'm sorry, but it's true.

What is this? Where are we?

The only place that the Elder could send us.

We don't have much time.

We set it free.

You set it free? Why would you do that?

Why didn't you kill it?

The Elder has pledged to serve us.

That doesn't make any sense.

Well, I told it to kill Dmitri, and without hesitation it ripped him apart.

I'm not working with an Elder, OK?

- I'm gonna kill it. - That would be a mistake, sweetie.

Don't call me that.

I'm so sorry, Essa.

I've made sacrifices that you know nothing about.

Is that right?

That's the fate of being a Van Helsing.

You were born for sacrifice.

It's true of you and of Scarlett as well.

The blood that infected you, it's from the Dark One itself.

There is nothing like the two...

in this whole world.

But if it ever got free again...

there'd be no stopping it.

I'll stop it.

No.

Never face the Dark One unless there's absolutely no other way.

Each Elder has something, a totem, that leads to the Dark One.

Alone, they're no good.

Only together can they release it.

Stop the Elders.

Find the totems and destroy them.

OK, I, I don't understand.

The book.

The family book.

The answers are in there... I just couldn't find them.

I read every word.

I don't think she has a lot of time.

It's now or never, sweetie.

You decide.

I'm sorry...

I'm so, so sorry.

I did search for you.

Vanessa...

Mum?

Mum?

Mum?

Mum...

Leave me alone.

Meat for us, and that's just the beginning

I promise you.

I hope so.

I know so.

In my heart, I know it.

When I was hunting, I saw the tracks of others.

- There are a few buildings in the distance. - Buildings?

And fences around them.

Some kind of prison or something.

I haven't approached them yet, but it was quiet.

It could be a safe place for us.

A place to start over.

To begin again, and let these things see

that they haven't beaten us, and they never will.

Yeah.

- You hear me? - Yeah!

Never!

Boo!

No, no!

Mohamad, play with them.

Play!

Yes... feed.

Feed now.

He'll learn to play.

He wants to learn.

He must learn to play.

He must.

Mohamad! Mohamad, look!

Look!

Look.

Play. Play.

It's fun playing. Hmm?

Mohamad.

You'll learn.

You must learn.

Shit.

They're back, alright.

I was hoping that storm might hold 'em off, but no such luck.

That's like the fifth or sixth time they've done that since the snow fell.

Just fly by and not land.

This is so strange.

It's completely healed.

What?

Axel, what're they doing?

Recon.

What?

Checking us out, looking for a place to land.

- Gauging our forces before they commit. - Commit?

To what?

I don't know.

That's what I'm afraid of.

Should I contact them again?

No!

- How can you even be sure it's the same guys? - I'm sure.

OK, so what do we do now?

We wait. We arm ourselves.

- Be ready. - For what?

To be wiped out?

These people are soldiers.

They ain't soldiers.

Well, whatever you wanna call them, they have guns and a lot more than us.

- That doesn't make 'em soldiers. - It doesn't make us soldiers, either.

I know that, but...

Why doesn't it make sense for us to go out there and wave them down?

We're not saying with some white flag, just friendly-like.

To see if they wanna, you know, discuss this.

OK, good talk.

Look, you guys want there to be some kind of magic solution, right?

A ticket to freedom and sunshine and all that shit

but I'm telling you, this ain't that.

- These guys are anything but that. - How do you know for sure?

Because the last time they could have held out a hand to us all friendly-like

they gassed us and kidnapped our friend. That's how.

Yeah, but they didn't kill you.

End of discussion.

Don't come any closer.

We must work together now.

I don't have to do anything, so don't tell me I do.

What your mother said, she was wrong. Feverish.

- To destroy the totem... - Stop!

Don't you ever talk to me about her.

Vanessa.

I'm here for you.

You must hear my thoughts and my wisdom.

Just wait.

Just wait.

These other Elders...

tell me about them.

Now.

There are others that guard the pathway to the Dark One.

She said that these Elders, that they have... some thing.

A totem.
