Previously on Van Helsing...

I'm gonna try to turn you.

Mum?

Mum!

- What's up with you?
- Stay back!

OK.

Just take these.

Hey, are you gonna take your lashes
like a man this time, Felix?

Who is that?

♪ I am Sam. ♪

sh**t him!

- sh*t! In here!
- No, it's a trap!

- What is this?
- Punishment.

Please don't...

I'll rip your nuts off, you p*ssy!

Mum!

Spit it out.

What?

Whatever it is
you're too chicken sh*t to say.

Fine, but if you keep side-eyeing me

we're gonna have a problem.

You're out of control.

Is that a fact?

Yes, and you're gonna get us both k*lled.

We've k*lled more vampires
this past week

than that pathetic resistance
has since the rising began.

I fail to see the problem.

It's a rampage.

It's a cleanse.

Anyway, I've barely gotten a scratch.

What're you so worried about?

Against the ferals.

You and I both know there are stronger,
more powerful vampires out there

and they're gunning for you.

Good, let 'em.

I heal, remember?

Do you?

What's that supposed to mean?

You can't k*ll away the
pain of Dylan's loss.

You don't know my pain.

I felt your pain.

When you screamed,
I could literally feel it

coursing through my veins.

Feel better?

A little bit, yeah.

Cold?

Hmm?

Warm, hmm?

Warm.

What do you want?

I don't understand.

Touch?

Connect.

You want me to connect.

Shhh.

Shhh.

OK. OK.

I can't...

Gotcha!

Like this?

Friends.

We're lost.

We're not lost.

We just don't know where we're going.

- Same difference.
- No, it's not.

I can't explain it. Something is telling me
we need to go in this direction.

Oh, yeah, your "dreams".

Vanessa and all that sh*t...

Axel! Axel, are you OK?

Get the bag.

- Why don't you just feed off of...
- Get the bag!

Are you sure?

I'll k*ll you if you don't.

Bleeding stop?

Yeah, finally.

That's good, then.

Don't worry about it.

I was always a little bit of a bleeder.

But you...

you have one hell of a left.

Lucky it wasn't my right.

Yeah, I bet.

You hit harder than Max Bear.

Who?

What, are you kidding me? Max Bear.

Back in my day, before I turned, he was
the heavyweight champion of the world.

Back in your day, huh? When was that?

'36.

1936. Jesus.

Yeah, but listen.

I fought him.

Slobber knocker back in '29,
amateur fight before he turned

before he became Max Bear.

We were just...

I mean, we were kicking
the living sh*t out of each other.

Back before he hit the big time
and our faces were like...

were like ground chuck.

Just...

And the crowd. Oh, my... the crowd,
they loved it.

And there we were, 15th round,
we were so gassed

we could barely keep our hands up,
we're just swinging at air.

But then I hear it.

Ten-second clang.

So I just charge in there

ready to give everything I got.

Ha...

Then what happened?

I got caught.

Right hook. Bink!

On the bud.

You know, if I had just played it safe
for just 10 more seconds.

At least you went for it.

Yeah.

Yeah, but I was ahead on
the scorecards by two points.

I see you doing the same thing, Vanessa.

You're ahead on the scorecard.

Don't get caught by that right.

It's a cool story.

Skinners. We need to move, now.

I don't run anymore.

Those aren't ferals, trust me.

We need to move, now.

You dogs!

You ugly dogs!

Get over here!

Leave her alone!

Julius!

Leave her!

What're you gonna do, huh?

Julius!

Julius, wake up!

Wake up!

Julius!

Julius!

Hurry, get to the back!

Here, take him! Take him!

No, no, no, not me.

Not me! No! No!

- Ryan!
- Let me go!

Ryan! Ryan!

Don't you hurt him, you son of a bitch!

Ryan!

Ryan!

Ryan!

Please, please, stop.

Please, I don't wanna die.

Ten.

No, no, no...

No, please, no.

Arms.

Arms!

♪ Arms... ♪

One.

Arms.

Two.

Arms.

Please, no more.

Please. Please.

Come on...

Thank you.

Thank you.

No! No! No!

No! Please!

I wanna learn.

I don't believe you.

Teach me.

Good.

Good boy.

Mohamad.

My Mohamad.

Come on, do it!

Come on, come on!

Come on, you bastards!

That's it.

That's it. Come and take a piece.

Do it.

Do it.
Leave him alone, you piece of sh*t!

Do it.

Come on!

Julius!

Yeah, yeah, come on.

Come on.

You like that?

How's that?

That's cos of me.

His blood is useless because of me.

That's it.

Take the bite, you bastard!

Do it!

Take a bite!

Do it!

Go. Get out of here.

Go on. Go.

What?

- Hello?
- Run!

You OK?

What?

She asked if you're OK.

Who are you?

We're the Johnsons.

The question is... who are you?

Woah, woah, woah, woah, hey.

Are you gonna be a friend

or do we have to bury you along
with the rest of these monsters?

Alright then.

Friend it is.

They don't seem too
bothered by the k*lling.

My partner and I have trained them well.

We found that the best way to survive out
here is taking the fight to the vampires

whenever they encroach
upon our territory.

Catching them by surprise isn't that hard
when you prey upon their weakness.

Young blood.

That's disgusting.

That's survival.

The second we start sheltering
our future from their reality

is the second we lose to those monsters.

Oh, hey!

Hold up.

I wouldn't move any further unless
you wanna get an arrow in the eye.

You're good.

Just watch your step there, big fella.

What is this place?

Home.

You made it.

Hey, how you doin'?

Hey, Maria.

Over there we have
a small greenhouse with food.

We each take turns on the bike generator
in order to keep the batteries charged.

Some take less than others.

It's very impressive.

What it lacks in beauty,
we fill with love.

You'll have to forgive Chad.

At times he can be a bit of a cheese ball.

How long have you guys been here?

Oh, about... two years now.

Yeah.

Defenses?

We fortified what we could.

At night, we sleep underground.

And during the day, all the kids
have duties in order to keep us safe.

Child soldiers.

Got that part.

We made a decision
a long time ago to stop running.

To live with love and not fear.

We teach these children how to survive

but we also teach them to be children
and have fun.

You can't have both.

- Vanessa.
- What?

You take a child's innocence
and it's gone forever.

Maybe.

But you do the best you can.

Loss is a part of the way it is now

and you can't hide from that.
He's right.

When I lost my family,
I didn't think I could go on.

That's when I met Mike.

He gave me back the hope I had lost.

If you told me five years ago
that I'd be in a relationship with a man

raising a litter of orphans in a forest.

I would have told you
to get your head checked.

The heart knows no boundaries.

Now our goal is to take
in any child we find

and to give them
the future we all thought lost.

That's pretty great.

- You can't catch me!
- Ow.

Hey!

I'm gonna get you, you rascals!

What's your story?

I k*ll vampires before they k*ll me.

What else is there to know?

What's that?

It's nothing.

Shouldn't you be playing
with your friends or something?

Nah, I don't like the games they play here.

Well, what do you like?

Chess.

I'm working on a board.

I have a piece.

Here.

Me and my mom used to play it.

Before...

you know.

Yeah.

That must be tough.

And it is...

but I think my parents would want
me to keep going.

So I do.

Time for dinner!

Yes!

See ya.

- Oh, hey. Here.
- Oh.

What happened here?

I'm not supposed to talk about it.

Felix?

What're you doing here, traitor?

Quiet!
We're getting out of here.

No!

Please, come join us.

We're just about to get to
the best part.

This seat taken?

Go ahead.

Grendel, lurking outside
the mead hall

was watching

waiting

for all the guards to fall asleep
because he knew

that if he could catch
the guards unprepared

that no one and nothing

would ever be able to stop him.

So he waited there for all to go silent.

He stormed the mead hall!

Thrashing! Slashing!

k*lling all the guards in his path!

Popping their heads off like dandelions!

But what Grendel didn't know was that there
was another guard in the dark

a guard pretending to be asleep.

He was the only one
ready to take on Grendel.

This guard's name was Beowulf.

Beowulf saw the opportunity

went in for the att*ck.

Grendel feeling something on his back!

Grendel throwing Beowulf
down to the ground!

Beowulf getting up.

w*r-har-har!

Grendel...

The two back and forth, titans clashing

fighting each other for territory

until finally, Beowulf
grabbing the advantage

putting his hands on Grendel's neck

beginning to choke
the breath out of this ghastly beast

with his bare hands, with his cunning

saving the entire tribe.

More importantly,
saving the whole kingdom!

I am Beowulf!

True story.

True story.

It's... yeah, it's a little more
complicated than that.

Beowulf has to travel down
to where Grendel...

underground...

Forget it.

Now...

which one of you can tell me
the moral of that story?

Ethan?

It's important for us all to be courageous,
brave and prepared when we fight evil.

That's exactly right.

When any one of us is on guard duty

we must approach it with courageousness

but we must also be prepared.

All of our lives depend on it.

Do we understand?

Yes!

Do we understand?!

Yeah!

Who's next?

Huh. You know, I never thought
a place like this could exist.

You're not buying this place, are you?

Come on, Vanessa. Look around.

What's not to believe?

There's this kid, Troy, OK?

And he has these marks on his arms.

And cuts.

Uh, Vanessa?

Can we have a chat?

Your house, your rules.

Alright, well, I'm gonna hit the hay.

Um...

look, I don't know another way to
approach this besides being direct.

What's your deal?

Excuse me?

You've had a dark cloud over your head
since you got here.

Now, that kind of negative energy
can be contagious.

Especially around children.

I know what you did to Troy.

What're you talking about?

The scars on his arms?

The ones you told him to keep secret?

Troy had those scars on his arm
when he got here.

Mm.

After he lost his parents,
he fell in with a very abusive group.

It's one of the reasons we took him in.
So you didn't do it to him?

Of course not!

We asked all the kids to try
to leave the past in the past.

To focus on the positive future ahead.

Come with us tomorrow.

We're doing a supply swap
with Troy's former group.

See for yourself.

All those kids sport wounds.

Be still.

Ah, finished.

My Mohamad.

No.

My Mohamad.

I'm Felix.

I'm Felix, you psycho.

Goddammit, I'm Felix!

I'm Felix...

Shhh.

Shhh.

It's OK.

My Mohamad.

Shhh. Don't cry, no.

My Mohamad.

My Mohamad.

Alright, on the pile.

There you go.

Another nightmare?

This one was different.

This...

Chad wanted me to tell you that
they're leaving for the trade meeting.

- Still wanna go?
- Yeah.

Yeah, I'll be right there.

Heyo, heyo!

What's going on?

They're late.

So we wait?

They're never late.

Something's wrong.

Then we should go find them.

We can't.

We have an agreement.

They don't cross the bridge
without an invitation

and neither do we.

Good thing I wasn't a
part of that agreement.

Vanessa, stop.

Hold... wait!

Vanessa, stop.

You shouldn't do this.

Is she always like this?

Yeah, pretty much.

This doesn't make sense.

The guards should be here.

Their main meeting hall is right there.

Good.

Hey, woah, woah, woah, wait.

This place could be overrun
with those things.

Like you said, Mike.

Take the fight to them
before they take it to you.

Not much of a planner, huh?

She's a Van Helsing. That's her plan.

Wait here.

OK.

What happened here?

Oh, my God.

This wasn't ferals.

Oh, my God.

No...

I know who did this.

Who?

Get Mike.

Find any survivors and get out of here,
it's too late...

What about you?
Don't worry about me.

This is something I should have ended
when I had the chance.

Hello, Vanessa.

What a nice surprise.
