Previously on "Van Helsing"...

JACK: Where in the hell are we?

FLORIAN: Transylvania.

VIOLET: Jack travelled back in time?

IVORY: To ?

These numbers?

They look like coordinates.

VIOLET: She must want us to go somewhere.

DOC: I'm experimenting with a new serum.

Any more than this, your heart could explode.

I made as many b*ll*ts as I could.

Please, use these sparingly.

AXEL: 'Cause this thing is magic, don't make it foolproof.

We're going to find her.

It'll let us know if we make a wrong move.

JULIUS: Vi's counting on us.

The Van Helsing must be k*lled.

Bring her head and the amulet.

Our master, the Dark One, commands it.

Where do I find her?

She nears.

Seek her out or your fate will be worse than your former master's.

The Van Helsing is said to be powerful.

Some even say immortal.

A child without a head is a thr*at to no one.

If I do what assurance do I have the Dark One won't still destroy me?

The only assurance you have is your death should you fail.

It will be slow and agonizing.

I will see to that.

k*ll the Van Helsing.

Bring me the amulet.

There is no other path.

[GROANS]

You really think we can defeat the Van Helsing?

What choice do we have?

We flee here.

Find a distant territory beyond her reach.

Fool!

Nowhere is beyond the reach of the Dark One and Bathory.

We will do what the Dark One commands.

We will k*ll the Van Helsing.

[OUT OF BREATH]

What the hell are you doing?

It's a call in the Sisterhood we used to signal an att*ck, or to find one another if we ever got separated.

But they're gone.

They're gone.

All of them, but yet I still have hope that maybe someday I'll hear an answer.

And I won't be the last of the Sisterhood.

Right now we just gotta keep that hope on the inside.

Why?

We're trying to avoid trouble.

Every daywalker within a mile probably heard that.

What?

No vampire would dare come towards a call of the Sisterhood.

It's a call to death.

See, my sisters and I, we were feared by every vampire from coast to coast.

Smart ones, at least.

Your sisters were brave.

I'm honoured to have known them To have fought with them.

Hmm.

Come on.

Wait.

What?

Then let me hear yours.

My w*r cry?

Yeah.

No.

I'm not a sister.

Wait, no, no, no.

You battled with us.

You spilled blood with us.

It's by my right.

You're bonded to the Sisterhood now.

Yeah, I don't know.

I don't...

Yeah, come on.

Come on.

[SIGHS]

We really should be heading east right now.

Yeah.

Come on, Violet.

I've seen who you are, Violet.

You're more than just a warrior.

You're someone like me now.

And you're fighting for everyone that you love.

And everyone that you've lost.

Call them.

Call them.

[SIGHS]

[SCREAMING TOGETHER]

[SCREAMING CONTINUES]

[CRYING]

For Jack.

For Jack.

Sister.

[FLIES BUZZING]

This is the place.

It sure doesn't look like the city of brotherly love anymore.

I don't understand.

I mean, why here?

Search around.

Gotta be some clue.

[FLIES BUZZING]

Liberty Bell.

Hold up.

I think I found it!

Right here.

Jack loved this sh*t when we were kids.

Total history nerd.

History of what?

Way back, America was at w*r with the British.

Yeah, now I remember.

We were drawn to the bloodshed.

We fed on the dying.

The revolutionaries were so scared that the British were gonna take all the church bells, melt them for weapons, so a group of patriots gathered them all up and hid them.

Hid them where?

A church.

Still existed pre-rising, even after hundreds of years.

Jack made our father take us.

It-it's probably not far away.

You know, if it's still there now?

I just-I don't have any desire to set foot in such a place.

Dark memories.

That's the path Jack has led us down.

She might have hid something there.

In the past.

Before... she um...

But her inscription, it led us here.

Because only I would know the truth.

The story between this monument and the church.

I'm right.

I'm right.

I feel it.

As you wish, Sister.

This is the place.

Careful.

Such a place can refuge much darkness.

It's here.

Whatever it is, it's here.

How can you be sure?

Everything in my body is screaming at me.

I've learned to trust that.

We have to search everywhere.

How will we know when we see it?

We don't even know what we're looking for.

I say we start in the basement.

It's where they have the bells.

[DOOR CREAKING]

Someone's here!

[DOOR OPENS]

Axel?

Julius?

Jesus Christ, Violet.

I don't think you're supposed to say that in here.

I almost sh*t you.

I almost sh*t you, first.

We're glad you didn't.

What're you so afraid of, big guy?

Getting k*lled.

But you heal.

Daywalker virus.

Not anymore.

We're mere mortals now thanks to Blak-Tek and the army.

They figured out how to make daywalkers and then they figured out how to k*ll 'em.

Mostly.

That orange chemical sh*t got all over us.

Took our ability to heal and almost k*lled us in the process.

Yeah, and now it's creeping its way across the country, no telling where it's gonna show up.

Great.

Bookended by the Dark One incarnate and a toxic death cloud.

That's about right.

Is there any good news?

I call these "one and done".

Put that anywhere in a daywalker's body and they're down for the count.

What?

Where'd you get this?

A friend.

I only have a handful of those so gotta conserve.

I'm gonna save this one for someone special.

Think that'll work on the Dark One?

I'm not guessing so, might ruin the Oracle's day though.

Alright, what're we doing in here?

This place is giving me the heebie-jeebies.

I think Jack left something for us here.

Wait, I thought she was still in the Dark Realm.

She was.

I mean, not anymore.

She went back in time.

We think.

Okay.

I know, it sounds crazy.

Crazy's kinda what we do.

[GROWLING]

I hate to say it, guys...

Split up.

I was thinking the same thing.

You and me, big guy?

You got it.

If you guys see anything, holler nice and loud.

[THUD]

[CAULKS g*n]

Maybe somebody b*at us to it.

It's here somewhere.

It has to be.

Hold up.

Hold up.

Look at this.

Look at this.

Axel!

Julius!

AXEL: What'd you find?

Burial chambers.

VIOLET: Some of these date back to Jack's inscription in the book.

She knew vampires wouldn't be interested in robbing graves.

IVORY: Well, then this has gotta be it.

VIOLET: This is it.

Jamal Fernandes.

That was the name of her favourite anime character.

Hey, what's anime?

VIOLET: She loved it so much she even put it on her fake ID.

Whatever she wanted us to find, it's probably in here.

Guys?

Woah, woah, woah!

Hey!

Who the hell are you?

Never mind who I am.

There's nothing for you down here.

Leave.

Now!

Someone left something for me in here.

Impossible.

This is sacred ground that has not been disturbed in over a century.

Look, I know it sounds crazy but I need to get what's inside that wall.

Easy, pal.

Touch that wall and I'll paint it with his brains.

What do you care about a bunch of stiffs stashed in a wall, anyway?

I swore an oath to protect those graves.

As others before me have for over years.

I wouldn't expect a bunch of scavengers to know squat about honour.

Who made you swear this oath?

A lot of talking and not a lot of getting the hell out of my church!

Was it a Van Helsing?

How do you know this name?

I'm Violet Van Helsing.

I think my sister Jack buried something in that wall over years ago.

Something that may end this darkness that we live in.

Please.

You have to believe me.

You ask me this but offer no proof.

What proof do you want?

The stories say you can heal, like those monsters.

You can turn them back with a bite.

It's true.

She turned me back.

All of us.

We've been pulled from that darkness by a Van Helsing.

I am a man of faith.

Forgive me if I don't believe every fairy tale I hear.

A la buena de Dios.

The stories are true.

We were told that someone would come.

Someone wearing a pendant of evil but with a heart of good.

I'm Pastor Jerome Diaz.

It's nice to meet you, Violet.

And thank you.

For what?

For letting me know that risking my life alone for something I didn't understand wasn't for nothing.

Amen, brother.

I know exactly how you feel.

Apologies.

Were you really a vampire?

Sure was.

[CRUMBLING]

I'm glad I got to meet the friendly giant.

[CRUMBLING]

It's gotta be inside with the body.

- Can you help me?

- Yeah.

JULIUS: I got it.

I'm right behind you.

Got it.

Back.

Okay.

Easy, easy, easy.

Good.

[COUGHING]

Violet, do you want me or Ivory to help you?

No.

No, no.

I...

I wanna do it.

I got it.

Can you help me open it?

Woah.

[LAUGHS]

This must be it.

A scroll?

For what?

I don't know.

She must have left us some... some kind of instructions?

I'm missing something.

Yeah, well if the Dark One's got a pretty big target painted on our backs, I don't think we should stick around any longer than we have to.

We can figure this out on the road.

Let's do it.

Vi!

Hey, kid.

It can't be.

It can't be.

AXEL: What're you doing?

VIOLET: Um...

Oh boy.

I feel...

I just...

[GASPS]

IVORY: It's Jack!

It's Jack!

I've seen this before.

One of your ancestors, Vanessa as well.

I don't understand.

It means she might not be dead.

How is that even possible?

After all we've seen and done, this is the thing that's a stretch?

Right.

- IVORY: Well, can we wake her up?

- I don't know, maybe.

VIOLET: You said you've seen this before.

I don't know how all the Van Helsing magic bullshit works, I'm just...

Vanessa, all the years that she was there, that I was watching over her...

She never moved a muscle.

Until...

She was bitten by Flesh when he was a vampire.

So if a vampire bites her she might wake up.

Just like that.

Maybe.

Maybe.

Well, wait.

You have the blood of the Dark One in you.

So maybe you can wake her up.

We should maybe talk about that.

I have to try.

Okay.

IVORY: Please be you.

Please be you.

Please be you.

Please work.

Please work.

Please work.

Please work...

Come on, Jack.

Please wake up.

Please wake up.

Come on, Jack!

[GASPING]

Vi.

VIOLET: You're back.

I can't believe you're back!

Hell of a way to send a message, kid.

Hi.

Hi.

What took you so long?

[LAUGHS]

Vanessa's alive?

You saw her?

Yeah, she's in the Dark Realm.

She's trying to figure out a way to control it somehow, but she was able to open a portal that sent me to the past.

How did you know to bury yourself like that?

I don't know how to explain it.

I mean, maybe Vanessa?

Maybe the deep sleep is a Van Helsing instinct.

I just figured it was the best way for me to get back.

Can you read this?

No, it's foreign to me.

Well, who's gonna cast your fancy spell?

The Oracle.

You've been snoozing way too long if you think that evil bitch is gonna help us.

She wasn't always evil.

She was a vampire hunter once just like us.

We fought side by side.

We almost defeated the Dark One.

But then she was turned.

So we turn the Oracle, then she can read this and the Dark One becomes powerless.

That's the plan.

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but can the Oracle even be turned?

We have to try.

Help the Oracle.

That's some sh*t I thought I'd never say.

Hey.

Not bad, but I thought that last look was so you.

You should see what they wore in old Transylvania.

I found this in the pastor's stash.

- Sweet.

- Said you could have it.

I was never able to hit sh*t with that thing.

All I ask is that you allow me to join you.

Hey, the more the merrier.

I'll get my things.

The Van Helsing is in there and she is not alone.

k*ll them.

Bring me the amulet!

[SCREECHING]

[DOOR CREAKS]

Thank you.

I love it.

JULIUS: Hey!

We got company!

AXEL: I got movement out here, as well!

Lots of 'em!

If you don't have a w*apon, get one!

They're all loaded with the orange b*ll*ts!

That's all we got so pick your sh*ts.

It's gonna get ugly!

Here.

Here you go!

Father, you'll put our backs against the wall down there.

We can't go down there.

Have faith, my son.

Yeah, yeah.

It's a network of tunnels used by the American forces during the revolution.

It will take us far from here.

Once sealed.

Nothing will open it.

Julius, come on!

We've gotta move!

[STAGGERED BREATHING]

Julius!

Julius!

Keep going!

Keep going!

I'm not leaving you.

God, you're just as stubborn as your mother.

Okay?

I can't lose you again.

Not like this.

You're not gonna lose me.

I found you before and I'll find you again.

Go!

Go, take my sister.

You better.

AXEL: Give 'em hell, big guy.

JULIUS: You know it.

AXEL: Hey, Jack.

Jack.

We gotta go.

We gotta keep moving.

Would Vanessa have left her behind?

If it meant accomplishing the mission you bet your ass she would have.

The best thing you can do right now is finish this thing.

Finish it.

They're gonna make it.

I know.

Okay.

[FIGHTING GRUNTS]

[SMASH]

[FIGHTING GRUNTING]

[GROANS]

You're nothing.

You probably would die on your own.

But where is the fun in that?

Huh?

[GASPS]

No!

[SOBBING]

I'm gonna help you!

I'm gonna help you.

I'm gonna figure this out.

And I'll help you.

It's over for me, kid.

This was a one-way ticket.

Why?

I had to.

It was the only way to save you.

I did good?

You did great.

You did so great.

Yeah, I did good.

But you're gonna be okay.

I'm gonna-I'm gonna figure this out.

No.

This was the last time.

Hey.

It's okay, Violet.

I ain't afraid of dying.

You, Jack, Vanessa.

You-you gave my life purpose.

Thank you.

[SOBBING]

Listen to me, okay?

You find the Dark One and then you bite that bitch.

You got me?

I got you.

End this for all of us.

For all of us.

[SOBBING]

Julius?

No!!!!!

[VIOLET SCREAMING]

Violet.

Okay, I think that's enough.

I think we're safe.

Nah, we gotta keep putting distance between us and them.

We need to rest.

I mean, what good are we if we lack the strength to raise our weapons?

You don't need to raise them if we keep moving.

Listen.

I don't follow you, okay?

I follow Jack.

Look.

I just need a minute.

Alright, you got five.

That's it.

So you felt that, too, back there?

Yeah.

I mean, Violet.

Her pain, I...

I never felt anything like that.

Hey.

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey.

She could have survived.

I mean, can you look at everything that you've been through to get here, to be here in this moment?

You of all people know anything is possible.

Yeah.

Okay, alright.

Come on, let's go.

We gotta go.

[VIOLET SCREAMING]

What the hell was that?

[SCREAMING]

AXEL: What the hell are you doing?

[VIOLET SCREAMING]

[SCREAMING]

[SCREAMING]

Vi!

Jack!

I thought you were dead.

I'm a Van Helsing.

AXEL: Where's Julius?

He sacrificed himself to save me.

So we could both finish this.

He was a good friend.

[SIGHS]

VIOLET: Let's go k*ll the Dark One.

For Julius.

And all those that d*ed because of her.

I've waited years for another sh*t at her.

Oorah.
