[ Suspenseful music plays ]

-[ Breathing heavily ]

Hello?

Please.

I just need to get to town.

Please?

-Hyah, hyah!

[ Horse whinnies ]

f*ck.

[ Sniffing ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Grass rustling ]

[ Suspenseful music plays ]

Hello?

[ Breathing heavily ]

Is someone there?

Hello?

[ Screams ] No, no!

No, no!

[ Screaming ]

[ Thudding sound ]

[ Scraping noises ]

[ Bird cawing ]

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

-Abraham.

Welcome home.

-Hello, Mina.

-Look at all this dust.

-How are you feeling?

-I've had worse days.

Sit.

I'll make you a cold drink.

[ Lock rattling ]

[ Suspenseful music plays ]

[ Liquid pours ]

[ Object clatters ]

-[ Grunts ]

[ Breathing heavily ]

[ Grunts ]

[ Grunts ]

Rudy...

come prepare the table

for dinner.

[ Wood splits ]

-[ Grunts ]

-Coming.

-[ Grunts ]

[ Footsteps approaching ]

[ Knock at door ]

-Max.

-Yes?

-May I speak with you?

Do you trust me, Max?

-You're my father.

-I have made

a disturbing discovery.

Perhaps it was foolish of me

to think

that we could hide away forever.

I have known for a long time...

that it might come...

and we would be ready if it did.

But I'm going to need your help

and cooperation.

-Of course.

-You're a good boy, Max.

[ Suspenseful music plays ]

[ Insects chirping,

animal howling ]

[ Banging noises ]

-[ Gasps ]

-Not again.

Not again. Please.

[ Suspenseful music plays ]

Damn work.

Sometimes I don't know

if all this is for us...

or for his bloody crusade.

No.

Mustn't question him.

Mustn't.

[ Gasps ] Leave me alone!

The devil is coming,

and I want to be ready for him.

-You're not making any sense.

You need to rest.

-You're right.

Of course.

I did not think

I would have sons.

I always wanted a daughter.

Softer.

More difficult to keep safe.



-You see them?

Mapping for the new

railroad extension.

After them, more will follow.

Do you remember Amsterdam, Max?

-Only a little.

-Or London before that?

-No.

-You were too young, I think.

Just as well.

It was a filthy, stinking place.

I'm sure you've noticed

your mother has been acting...

strange lately.

Years ago,

your mother and her friends

called on me...

to fight off...

a terrible threat that had

followed them to London.

She was attacked by the enemy,

and her blood was infected.

This experience

changed your mother.

These memories

she carries with her

are her scars

that will never heal.

-[ Sighs ]

So we came to California

to build our family.

-You're like a sweetheart...

And California

has been good to us.

-From ocean to ocean

For you my devotion

-But now I suspect

that same threat has followed us

from the old world to the new.

I am fearful

for your mother's well-being

and all of our souls.

-...mother's knee

-These creatures

have a connection

to your mother's mind.

If they are near,

they may be drawn to her.

I need you

to help me protect her,

watch over her.

A year ago...

there were no railroad tracks

anywhere

in this part of the state.

Barely a town to speak of.

The world is getting smaller...

closing in on us.

And as the new world

grows more populous,

they follow.

Like rats...

with a merchant vessel.

[ Banging noise ]

[ Horse neighs ]

-Are you Dr. Van Helsing?

-Yeah.

-Please. There was an accident

on our worksite.

My brother's been injured.

-[ Groans ]

-He was caught

under heavy equipment.

We need your help.

-Please. We can pay.

Come on, come on.

-Lay him flat.

My son will help you.

I'll gather my things.

-[ Groans ]

-Show them to barn.

[ Horse neighs ]

-[ Groans ]

[ Groans ]

-Move the tarpaulin

over the hay.

-Okay. Get back here.

-Gentle.

-[ Groans ]

-Okay.

-Good.

-Mm-hmm. Good.

-Good.

-Elsie.

-Mm-hmm. It's okay.

Okay.

-What is this man's name?

-Edward. Eddie.

-Edward, you can hear me, yes?

-Mm.

[ Wheezes ]

[ Bones crackling ]

[ Groans ]

-Okay.

-The lung has been punctured

by a broken rib.

Tension pneumothorax

has already begun.

We need to relieve the pressure.

Hold him still.

-[ Groans ]

[ Horse whinnies ]

[ Groans ]

-Mm-hmm.

[ Groaning ]

[ Wheezes, shudders ]

-You'll be okay.

[ Flesh rips ]

-Aah.

[ Gasps ]

[ Horse neighs ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Breathing heavily ]

-Okay. Okay.

Okay. Yup.

Shh!

-Elsie.

-Yes. Shh, shh, shh, shh!

Relax, okay?

You're okay.

-It's important

to keep the tube in place

so that the pressure

will not build back up again.

[ Horse whinnies ]

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

[ Suspenseful music plays ]

-Thank you.

-You'll want to take him

to the hospital now in town.

It's only a few miles' journey

from here.

Make sure that the tube

does not become dislodged.

-Thank you.

I thought the worst.

-I only serve God's purpose.

It was not his time.



-Clean your hands.

Don't ruin your appetite.

-[ Chuckles ]

[ Exhales sharply ]

What are you making?

-Blood pudding.

An old countryside recipe.

It's been a long time

since I've made it.

Usually with pig's blood.

But this...

is your father's own elixir.

Perfected over time.

To cure ailments,

prevent future infection.

[ Bat shrieks ]

[ Gasping ]

[ Bat chittering ]

[ Eerie music plays ]

[ Gasps ] How did it get inside?

[ Bat shrieks ]

Take it outside, Max.

Careful.

Those things carry disease.

Turn off that light.

-Max...

Do you believe

in father's creatures?

Have you seen one?

Do you think we're in danger?

It doesn't matter what I think.

Anyway, according to him,

they can't enter uninvited.

-But what

if they're already inside?

-What do you mean?

I've heard something.

At night.

Crying.

And scratching.

Haven't you heard it?

Like an animal, sort of.

And it's not a coyote or a fox

or whatever you're going to say.

-If you don't stop talking, I'm

going to smother you to death

with your own pillow.

Then you won't have anything

to worry about anymore.

-[ Sighs ]

[ Dramatic music plays ]

[ Guitar plays ]



[ Knock at door ]

-Oh.

-Mrs. Van Helsing.

I'm Elsie.

-Yes, hello.

You were with the injured boy

yesterday.

How is he?

-My brother. Uh, he will --

he'll be fine.

I wanted to say thank you.

I bought these cookies in town.

They're made in San Francisco.

Apparently, they're very good.

-Thank you.

I'm glad you were able

to find us in time.

-One of the workers in town said

a doctor lived in these hills.

I'm in your debt.

My brother...

he's all that I have

in the world.

-Hmm.

To have family is a blessing.

-I agree.

Well, thank you.

-Do you live with

those railroad men?

In that camp?

-I do.

[ Soft music plays ]

-You're very confident

for a young woman, aren't you?

Sort of...

hard around the edges.

I'm sorry,

that was rude of me to say.

-No need to apologize.

Thank you again

and enjoy the cookies.

[ Gasps ]

-Be careful.

There are hungry things

in the night.

-Uh, I will.

Goodbye, Mrs. Van Helsing.

-It's simple for schoolchildren

half your age.

I don't understand

why you struggle with this.

Let me see.

"What are the four ways

of solving a one-step equation?

-Addition.

S-Subtraction.

Multiplication. Division.

-Good.

What is the first step

of solving a two-step

algebraic equation?

This one, for example.

I will...

I will isolate...

the --

[ Bangs table ]

-[ Gasps ]

It is clear to me when

you are not applying yourself.

At least when Rudolph

disobeys me, it's deliberate.

But you disobey me in a stupor.

Then you can't understand

why I'm disappointed with you.

-Abraham!

I will be in my study.

Do not disturb me.

-I'll bring some warm milk

to improve our mood.

[ Door closes ]

[ Book slams ]

-[ Sighs ]

-Can you try not to be

so stupid all the time?

You know it makes him mad.

-Don't call me stupid.

-I'm sorry

that he's so hard on you.

But you must remember,

his only aim is to keep us safe.

-I know that.

-I suppose I should be grateful,

at least that you are strong.

But still...

I hope

you'll never face our enemy.

Abraham and I

are the only ones left

who really saw him.

The others never saw

his true face.

He held me so close.

I could feel his...

[ Suspenseful music plays ]

...cold breath on my cheek.

So strange to have cold breath.

Long, white limbs.

White teeth.

And a terrible,

thin, soft mouth.

He moved like a ghost.

The others never saw him.

I did.

I remember.

Your father saved me.

[ Clanging noise ]

-Rudy.

-I heard voices out there.

You hear them?

-I don't hear anything.

-Tell me what's going on.

-Nothin'.

It's getting dark.

Come inside.

[ Insects chirping ]

[ Dramatic note plays ]

[ Footsteps ]

[ Dramatic note plays ]

[ Suspenseful music plays ]

[ Door opens ]

-[ Whispering ] Max.

Are you asleep?



[ Floorboards creaking ]

[ Screaming ]

-[ Gasps ]

[ Breathing shakily ]

[ Dramatic music plays ]

[ Bird caws ]

-[ Muttering ]

[ Muttering continues ]



-[ Grunts ]

[ Breathing heavily ]

-[ Wailing ]

[ Ominous notes play ]

[ Eerie music plays ]

[ Both gasping ]

-We're not safe here.

-What's wrong?

-Listen to me.

We're not safe here.

-We're okay. It's okay.

-No.

-We're alright.

Let's go inside, okay?

Let's go inside.

-[ Exhales sharply ]

[ Groans ]

-Mother.

Mother!

-[ Breathing heavily ]

[ Knock on door ]

-Come in.

Put that down. Come here.

-[ Exhales sharply ]

I'm thirsty.

Abraham.

[ Sniffling ]

[ Exhales sharply ]

Max.

My love.

Come closer.

[ Soft music plays ]

-Do not approach your mother.

Not for your own living soul

and hers.

Sit down. I need your help.

Your mother is a victim

of an unholy illness.

-How could this have happened?

-I've seen this before.

Inflammation that travels

from the blood to the brain.

If we succeed

with the transfusion,

we can bring her back.

She'll never be the same.

I'm pumping air

to create a vacuum.

Now insert the needle

into your arm.



-[ Exhales sharply ]

Medicine and healing take time.

You must be patient.

-[ Gasping ]

[ Breathing heavily ]

He's here.

-Be calm, my darling.

-[ Shudders ]

I can feel him.

I feel his thoughts

penetrating mine.

[ Breathing heavily ]

I see his shadow.

By the window.

He's just outside.

That evil stain.

Those dreadful teeth.

Don't let him take me.

I want to stay here.

I want to stay --

-Be calm. Be calm, my love.

-I want to stay here with you.

How did he find us?

Max, don't. Please.

Don't!

Max!

[ Gasps ]

-Close it! Close it!

Leave.

Leave us now.

[ Suspenseful music plays ]

-Rudy.

Is everything alright here?

-What do you mean?

-Is it just you?

-And the horse.

Yes.

Alright.

-What's going on?

Is she sick?

-He knows what he's doing.

Don't stay out here too long.

It'll be night soon.

[ Horse whinnies ]

-You must understand

these demons...

can cross great oceans.

They are patient and cunning.

They do not grow old.

And they never die.



[ Birds chirping ]

-She asleep?

-Yeah.

She needs to rest

to get healthy again.

So don't be loud

and don't bother her.

-When will he be back?

-I don't know.

Whenever he's done working.

Should only be a few hours.

-This isn't bad.

Not as good

as her breakfast, but...

not bad.

-[ Chuckles ]

[ Soft music plays ]

Hey!

[ Laughs ]

-Slowpoke!

Rudy! Rudy! Wait!

[ Glass shatters ]

sh*t.

[ Sighs ]

We shouldn't be in here.

[ Groans ] You know

we're not allowed in this room.

-Whoops.

We'll just...

throw it away.

-No, he knows where everything

is in his office.

He'll notice it's missing.

-Aren't you curious to know

what he does in here all day?

Hey.

[ Imitates blowing smoke ]

-[ Chuckles ]

Alright, come on.

Let's clean this up

and get out of here.

-What's that?

-Mother.

Back in Amsterdam.

It's before you were born.

[ Suspenseful music plays ]

-[ Scoffs ]

[ Record plays ]

-Turn it off.

[ Music stops ]

Don't.

-There's something under here.

[ Suspenseful music plays ]

[ Locks rattling ]

[ Door creaking ]

What do you think is down there?

-Close it.

[ Creaking noises ]

-Did you hear that?

-[ Breathing shakily ]

[ Creaking ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Eerie music plays ]

[ Door slams ]

[ Sobs ]

-What was that?!

-Be quiet.

-It's one of father's creatures.

What are you-- Don't.

-[ Moans ]

-I just wanna see.

[ Locks rattle ]

-[ Sobbing ]

[ Door creaking ]

-What are you doing?

-Please.

Help me!

[ Sobs ]

-Don't let it out.

-Shh!

-Help me.

-Step aside.

-[ Gasps ]

No. No.

-[ Screaming ]

[ Suspenseful music plays ]

[ Sobbing ]

-Rudolf, please stop crying.

It's a miracle

you didn't wake your mother.

She said you were both

too young to see this.

I have protected you

from the truth all these years.

But now...

it seems you have taken

a genuine interest

to my life's work.

Very well.

Come with me.

And we'll finish this lesson.

[ Door opens ]

[ Footsteps ]

-[ Shudders ] Please!

I don't wanna go down there.

Please.

-Everything will be okay.

[ Suspenseful music plays ]

-[ Breathing shakily ]

-In my time, I have k*lled 13

of the undead by my own hand.

I have trained others in the art

of destroying the undead.

Including your mother's

unfortunate first husband,

Jonathan Harker.

And so therefore,

I am indirectly responsible

for the slaughter of dozens

of their filthy kind.

I had been observing her

for several days.

She was in the process

of changing.

Of leaving behind her humanity

and becoming something...

rotten and unclean.

The undead who found

and fed on her

must have continued

his unholy journey,

because I found no sign of him

except for the imprint

his fangs left behind.

-I wanna go back upstairs.

-Shh.

You need to learn

how to defend yourself

against unholy disease

and unnatural death.

You must...

strike here.

Drive it in to the hilt.

They never go easily.

But do not desist from your work

until you have impaled her

and she no longer struggles

against you.

-No! Max!

-[ Breathing heavily ]

-Good.

Good.

To the hilt.

[ Eerie music plays ]

There you have it.

To do offense to the house

of the human spirit

even after

its tenant is gone is...

no easy thing.

-Where were her fangs?

-Ah. They --

They disappear

after the demon dies.

Poof.

And now...

we remove the head.

Rudolph, come.

-I don't want to.

I don't wanna know how.

-I'll do it.

-No.

It is important that he learn.

Rudolph.

Rudolph. Stop this nonsense.

I will help you.

Her neck is brittle.

It won't take long. Stop it.

Rudolph.

-Ow!

-Come!

-Stop!

-Stop it!

-Stop!

-Let him go!

[ Whimpering ]

-Go and put some ice

on your face.

Clean up.

Then meet me out on the porch.

[ Door creaking ]

I suppose I have never raised

my hand to you before.

Your mother has made me gentle.

Look what you made me do.

-I could leave.

I could take the horse

and ride away.

Disappear.

-Where would you go?

Leave then.

The family will get along fine

without you.

Enough of this.

We are losing light.

This will take some time.

[ Dramatic music plays ]

-[ Grunts ]

[ Grunts ]

[ Shovel scraping ]

-It will become less difficult

as time passes.

I'm proud of you, son.

-Where have you been?

[ Door closes ]

-Come up to see your mother.

-She looks so sick.

Just like that thing

from the basement.

-We must not abandon hope, son.

Your mother is the strongest

woman I have ever known.

She will recover.

-Abraham.

[ Suspenseful music plays ]

I was dreaming...

about the night

he came to my room.

Do you remember?

-I will never forget.

-I thought you saved me.

But I was only...

falling deeper into the pit

you pulled me in.

Leave me alone.

-[ Sighs ]

-Wait, Rudy.

Listen.

I'm sorry.

-I told you there was

something in the house.

I told you.

And you didn't believe me.

I'm not listening to you

anymore.

You don't know any more

than I do.

[ Door closes ]

[ Dramatic music plays ]

-Go ahead.

Anywhere a body can move

from one room to another,

they pass from shadow to shadow.

It's best to do

a self-examination

after contact with the infected.

Thick blood.

Healthy. Good.

Years ago,

my own father...

defined faith

as that which enables us

to believe things

we know to be untrue.

Your faith...

is not misplaced.

Max, come here.

Come and sit.

Yeah.

That bruise has healed well.

Good.

You have grown up, Max.

Somehow, I...

did not see that happen.

And I am sorry.

-[ Muttering ]

[ Suspenseful music plays ]

-Hello?

You're the doctor's son.

-I'm Max.

-Elsie.

You live out here

all alone with your family?

-Yes.

It's just us.

We like it that way.

And you?

-[ Sighs ] My brother got hired

to survey the railroad

for a new track.

I just --

I'm good with pen and paper.

-You're an artist.

-Uh, maybe.

If I keep working at it.

I draw maps.

One day, they'll use my work

to build something.

I think it would be nice to be

part of building something.

What's wrong?

-My mother is sick.

-I'm sorry.

-This feels different.

And she's not getting better.

Now I wonder...

if my father's treatments

are actually making her worse.

[ Sighs ]

I think sometimes

I must be going crazy.

I'm sorry.

I don't mean to burden you

with our problems.

I understand...

we have to hope for the best.

[ Soft music plays ]

[ Groans ]

[ Sighs ]

Oh, God.

[ Voice breaking ] Oh, God.

[ Sobs ]

[ Dramatic music plays ]

[ Sobbing ]

-To this woman...

May you receive the Lord's

blessing.

May the Lord bless you

and watch over you.

The Lord make His face to shine

upon you

and be gracious unto you.

The Lord look kindly on you...

and give you peace.

In the name of the Father,

the Son,

and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

-Amen.

-Amen.

-She was...

a beautiful woman.

[ Dramatic music plays ]

-Thank you, Father.



[ Suspenseful music plays ]

-Woah.

[ Horse neighs ]

-[ Exhaling sharply ]

[ Suspenseful music plays ]

Rudy!

-Go away.

Go away!

I'm not sorry.

Aren't you angry?

-It's just an old guitar.

Rudy...

I'm not mad.

-You said you wanted to leave.

Did you mean it?

-Listen, Rudy.

The things that he does...

It's ugly.

What if we didn't move

to California by choice?

Maybe it was us

being chased out of London,

out of Amsterdam.

Not his decision to leave.

But an exile.

And our family was forced

into isolation because of him.

I can't stay here.

-I don't want to be alone

with him.

-[ Sighs ]

-I won't leave you.

I promise I will not leave you.

-I don't believe you.

[ Dramatic music plays ]

[ Engine rumbling ]

[ Vehicle door closes ]

-Hello?

I-Is this the Van Helsing home?

-It is.

-Ah.

Arthur Holmwood.

I'm an old friend

of your parents.

[ Chuckles ]

I haven't seen you

since you were a little baby

on your mother's knee.

She loved you very much,

you know?

Wrote the most beautiful things

about you in her letters.

I pray for her soul every day.

I'm sorry for your loss.

-Thank you.

It's been a hard time

for our family.

-I understand.

[ Sighs ]

You should come back

to London someday.

After all,

your story did start there.

You're always welcome

to my home.

[ Door opens ]

-Is that Arthur Holmwood?

Finally come to visit

his old friend.

Hello, Abraham.

You received my letter?

I did.

It was very kind.

Come inside.

You've had a long journey.

After so many years,

it is good to see your face.

-Likewise, Abraham.

-So, you're living

in Sacramento, then?

-For a little while.

Making my way down to San Diego.

I wanted to see America.

-And how do you find her?

-Large and wild.

Though, I hear

that Union Pacific

is building new tracks this way.

Seems the world is coming

to your doorstep, Doctor.

Much as you may try

to escape it.

I am sorry

to have to offer my condolences.

Mina was...

truly the best of us.

I considered her as a sister,

you know?

-Yes.

You've lost much

over your lifetime, Abraham.

Too much for one man to bear.

But Mina gave you

two strong sons.

And for that, I thank God.

-What do you want, Arthur?

-[ Sighs ]

I don't sleep anymore.

And I seek remedy.

Or at least diagnosis.

I-I want...

I want to know

if I am mad or not.

Or more importantly,

if I am a sinner.

-Speak your mind.

-You were like a father to me.

To me and the others.

We would have followed you into

the inferno if you'd asked us.

There was no doubt in our minds

that our task

was holy and righteous.

But I grew up.

I am not the boy

you found all those years ago.

And I know

why you are here in California.

Yes, Abraham.

I know you are continuing

your work.

I've come to ask you to stop.

To put an end to all this.

To let the dead rest.

-No.

What we saw was real.

What I showed you is real.

Evil is real.

[ Soft music plays ]

But Abraham...

What if we made a mistake?

-No.

No mistakes.

-I wish I could go back in time,

Abraham.

Back to the time before.

I was ready to spend the rest

of my days with Lucy as my wife.

She was to be Lady Godalming.

And I loved her.

And we k*lled her.

I bled for her

through your tubes and bottles.

And I was ready to give

every last drop if called for.

I was ready to die for her.

And I...

I cut off her head.

Have you nothing to say to me?

-What is it you want?

We did what was needed.

-No.

No, no, you --

you turned me against Lucy.

You -- You filled my mind

with thoughts of demons

and -- and spirits.

You told me she

was already gone.

You told me to be --

to be joyful.

To send her to heaven,

that it was to be by my hand.

The hand she loved best.

That thing was not Lucy.

-Please, Abraham.

Just answer me this.

Am I a m*rder*r?

-Stupid, inbred lord of sh*t.

You come to my house

to ask me this.

We rid the world of a demon.

King Demon himself.

Do we call it m*rder

when we k*ll a wolf

who is at the throat of our cow?

You do not sleep,

because you are weak.

Your kind is always weak.

Pampered, like a spoiled child.

You require a man who works.

A man who knows the feeling

of hot blood in his hands

to come and teach you

how to protect yourself.

Lucy was a monster.

-And what about Mina?

Was she a monster as well?

-You are not welcome

in my house.

If you can't sleep, drink wine

until you pass

from consciousness.

-Please, think of your boys.

-That is my only remedy.

[ Birds chirping ]

[ Engine starts, revs ]

-What did he mean?

-It does not matter.

That man is a fool.

I don't know

why no one understands me.

My only mission

is to keep us safe.

-Stop you from what?

-Come.

[ Suspenseful music plays ]

Here.

Look.

They are all there.

You k*lled all those people.

-Not people. Not souls.

Dead things walking around.

As if they have a right

to our world.

Max, you saw that thing

in the cellar.

It was sick and deceased.

We will set a perimeter.

Nothing or no one

will be allowed to cross it.

We will create

a sterile environment.

Purity of spirit.

And we will begin with those men

from the railroad.

Let the world fall

to the hideous undead and burn.

It will not bother us at all.

We are safe here.

-No.

-No, I'm not going anywhere

with you.

You're insane.

-Insane?

For trying to keep

my family safe?

-There's nothing out there!

I'm not stupid.

And I can see what's happening.

My mother is dead,

because of you.

You were the one

making her sick.

You pulled her away

from everything in her life.

In the end,

she was alone because of you.

We are alone.

-It breaks my heart, Max.

That you think these things

to be true.

But...

at least have a drink

with your father.

Help me!

before it even begins.

The way I've shown you.

Strike hard!

Right through the heart.

Be strong! Be bold!

-[ Breathing heavily ]

-Do it, son! It is God's will!

Do it! Do it!

It is God's will, son!

[ Horse wickers ]

-My own father...

had a deep ambivalence

towards me.

I would have cherished

any kind of attention.

[ Horse neighs ]

Even the harshest criticism.

Anything

but his blatant disinterest.

My grandfather was a peasant who

thought he was an aristocrat.

He had...

no skills to speak of

whatsoever.

Just, uh, an enormous capacity

for selfishness.

I moved through his world

like a little mouse.

And when I left

for medical school...

he barely noticed my absence.

I know that sometimes

I am hard on you.

But you must know that I love

you and your brother very much.

And I will always do

what is best for our family.

I only ask that...

you place your faith in me.
