Van Helsing (2016) s02e12 Episode Script
Crooked Falls
Previously on Van Helsing We need to split up.
Ok, you guys are gonna go 45 miles due east up the mountain.
We'll meet you at Crooked Falls.
That's new.
I think it happened when Vanessa bit me.
And we free the elder.
Go.
Tell the Van Helsing what has happened here.
Where's Callie? Everybody's scattering.
We can't keep them together.
Look, we gotta help as many as we can, ok? That's all we can do.
What is the point? If you were down there running for your life every day you'd wanna know there's somewhere safe to run to.
What's wrong with hope? Sweetheart, don't be afraid.
There are things I need to tell you.
Charles is going to keep you safe.
He's the strong one.
Always was.
Listen to him.
Believe what he tells you.
He knows the truth.
What truth, Mama? Easy now, Ella.
Remember our promise.
I can't go without her knowing.
[COUGHING.]
I'm calling the doctor.
No.
No.
I always loved you, Scarlett.
No matter what.
You were the light to my darkness even though Mama? - Mama, no! - [GASPS.]
Mom, no.
She's gone now, Scarlett.
To a better place, where nothing can hurt her anymore.
No.
So difficult to live all those years with secrets she could never share.
It did this to her.
And she didn't even know everything.
Everyone thought you died in that fire.
Even your real mother.
What did you just say? You're not my father.
He lied to you all those years about who he was.
Who you really were.
You're the elder.
Out of darkness comes light.
Truth.
Why are you doing this to me? I brought Vanessa back to the farm so she could find me.
I never expected to locate you there, as well.
But now she's gone.
Gone? I thought you could reach into her mind like you're doing to me.
Right now.
Her light is no more.
Merely shadows and silence.
It's you who must free me.
I will never set you free.
I kill your kind.
That is my destiny.
If only you truly understood everything.
Come to me.
[GASPING.]
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey.
- It's ok, it's ok, it's ok.
- Where are we? It's just a dream.
It's just a dream.
We're in Crooked Falls, remember? We got here a couple of days ago.
How long have we been out? - Twelve hours, more or less.
- Oh.
Ok.
Never thought I'd sleep like that again.
Another one of the visions? Yeah.
Vanessa? No.
This is weather station Crooked Falls, trying all frequencies, can anyone hear me? This is weather station Crooked Falls.
Hope you like it black.
Haven't seen a cow in years.
Here I was hoping for a mochaccino.
Hey, Jessie, you know the other two that I was talking about.
They're supposed to meet us here.
Any sign? The boss went out to look for them.
If anyone can rescue them, she can.
Rescue? We're above the clouds.
It's supposed to be safe.
In daytime, sure.
At night we get plenty of ferals sniffing around the perimeter.
That's why we take precautions.
Those shutters and electro-covering keep the bunkhouse protected until sunup.
Safest place for miles around.
These friends of yours.
Why'd you split up, anyway? Wouldn't it be safer to stay as a group? We needed a decoy.
Something they have with them.
Yeah, something we need to get back.
So they better make it.
Or what? Sure.
Play your cards close to your chest.
No reason to trust any of us, right? We're just giving you food, shelter.
Never mind, Dennis.
He's not a fan of strangers.
Know the feeling.
Hey, uh you said that your boss was out looking for our friends? Any idea when she's gonna be back? She's never been gone this long.
[GROWLING.]
[GROWLING.]
[GRUNTS.]
It's ok.
You're safe now.
Open up.
Took a wrong turn? I'm trying to get to this place.
This is weather station Crooked Falls trying all frequencies.
Can anybody hear me? This is weather station Crooked Falls trying all frequencies.
Can anybody hear me? It was you guys with those little red balloons, huh? Any luck? Nah, not really.
What about the radio? Transponder's been busted for a while.
Only get a dozen or so miles in range.
But you never know, right? You really think there's still a world out there? Free from all this, gonna come rescue you? Dad was a firefighter.
He always used to say, "You don't give up until the last man is safe".
Five alarm fires never stopped him.
He'll come find me one day.
He promised.
They couldn't have taken over the whole world, right? You gotta hang on to hope what else is there? This is weather station Crooked Falls.
Sundown's coming in a few hours.
We better get back.
Never let yourself get trapped in a car like that.
Survival 101.
How the hell have you lasted this long without being bitten? Oh, shit.
Poor bastard.
What happened to you? [COUGHING.]
Oh, god.
A lot of bite marks but why the dismemberment? Ferals don't do that.
Jessie's map.
- It's gone.
- Map? The ferals are too backwards to use the map.
What what? And they're not supposed to make traps, either.
[SNARLING.]
- Run! - Shit.
Hey.
She's still not back? What does she usually do out there, anyway? Hunt.
Kill ferals that get too close.
Keeps it safer at night.
Yeah, but alone? - That's who she is.
- [BARKING.]
- Oh, shit.
- It's Doc! [GASPING.]
Ferals? It can't be.
It's still light.
Yeah, tell that to the one chasing us down the trail.
McGrath, get her inside! The altitude.
She needs oxygen.
Jessie! - Cover the roof.
- Copy.
Why are you alone? Do you have it? - [GASPS.]
- Doc.
Can't breathe.
Where are you going? If the sun doesn't get 'em, I will.
Need help? Never have.
[COCKS GUN.]
- You're ok.
- Doc.
Where's Julius? - So you just left him to die? - No, no.
He was already dead.
Dmitri killed him.
- While you ran.
- No! I tried to save him, I swear I did.
- Don't even.
- I tried to I fought back but they were so much stronger Shut up! You don't give a shit about anybody but yourself, you never have.
You you wouldn't even be here if it weren't for me.
I swear to god, if you don't shut your mouth What're you gonna do? You gonna hit me? - You gonna hit me?! - Ok, enough.
Enough.
Stop.
It's not even the point.
Do you have the key? Did Dmitri get the key? Because if he has it and he knows where he's going then we're totally I'm sorry.
I did everything that I could.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
It's just words, Doc.
You're the one that should be dead.
Well, one of these roads leads to somewhere called Crooked Falls.
Any guesses? All I know is Colorado should be south.
- Which way is that? - I don't know.
I wish I did but I don't.
You're the one having these visions of Vanessa.
Visions? What visions? Look, I can't explain them, alright? And the truth is they stopped a couple of days ago.
I wanted to tell you, but I'm supposed to be the one on the mission to find her.
The one with the plan and I can't do it.
Someone needs to make a decision which way we're going.
This altitude's making me queasy [TWIG SNAPS.]
Callie? Oh, how did you [LAUGHS.]
I found a balloon with a map.
Follow me.
Hey, kiddo.
He's never gonna believe me.
Trust me.
It's better this way.
What're you gonna do? I walked away from something that mattered.
People who who cared about me, valued me.
The dying don't judge.
They trust.
That's all they have.
I don't know.
If I can just make it back to triage or There's nothing left to say.
Good luck, Scarlett.
I hope you can save us all from this.
Where do you think you're running off to? Anywhere but here.
If this was morning, fine.
I wouldn't block you.
But this close to dark? No.
Daybreak, you can all carry on going.
All? This place is too important to just take in any old strays.
Besides, we don't have food and water for all of you.
It's beginning to sound familiar, isn't it? Powering up.
Now.
Safe and sound.
Why does it feel like we're being trapped in another cage? Scared? That's not what I said.
[BARKING.]
- What's up, Shadow? - [GUNFIRE OUTSIDE.]
Listen, listen, listen, listen.
[BARKING.]
[MORE GUNFIRE.]
That's people.
[DISTANT GUNFIRE.]
There.
Three o'clock.
There's three people and a kid.
It's Flesh.
What kinda name is that? Come on, boss.
They'll never get inside unless we power down the grid.
Oh, hell no.
No, those ferals shouldn't even be up here this close to sunset.
Something ain't right.
Do it.
Quickly.
- No current.
- All clear.
Come on, nightfall's coming, let's go! Get inside! Go, go, go! Come on! - Come on! - Get in! Come on.
I don't have a shot, he's in the way.
Shadow, no! Come back! - Dennis! - Get inside! Come on, get inside! Go back! - Hey! Hey! - Stay inside! Get back in here, now! [GROWLING.]
Shadow.
Shadow! [SNARLING.]
Hey! Dennis? Christ.
What do I do? You gotta shoot him, McGrath.
But it's Dennis.
Not anymore, it's not.
[SNARLING.]
I can't.
He's my friend.
[GUN SHOT.]
Not a friend of mine.
Well, there's no cuts, no bruising, and your internal organs seem fine.
How have you made it here? Well, after you left the medical camp got overrun by vampires.
Some of us escaped.
We all got split up.
But then .
.
then we found them again.
Who? Jolene.
Yeah.
So, was it worth it? Stealing all that blood? The vampire? I don't know anymore.
It didn't exactly go as planned.
[EXHALES.]
Hey there, kiddo.
How're you doin'? I brought you some of that food you liked back at the hospital.
Thanks.
You know, you look a lot better being human again.
I guess Doc got you to Vanessa after all.
- Was he the guy that - The vampire in the woods? See? Doc helped him turn back again.
It's my fault.
I wanted to let your friends in.
Nobody expected a trap.
One of them lured him around the corner, another was waiting for him.
Like coyotes.
I've never seen a feral act that way.
I mean, it was strangely calculated.
How did they get past the perimeter fence? I found a hole cut through it.
But not with their teeth, either.
Like they used tools.
I mean, the sun hadn't even fully set.
At this altitude the UV rays should burn them even at dusk.
Ok, so either they've turned suicidal or they're changing.
They're getting smarter.
No.
They can't.
They didn't feed on your friend.
They turned him they ran away.
Why? I don't know yet.
I need to take some samples and do a biopsy.
She's asleep.
After everything she's been through.
It's amazing, the resilience of kids.
They just keep on going, no matter what.
Phil, are you ok? No.
I um, I talked to Axel.
Apparently they found Vanessa and then um, someone showed up in a helicopter and took her, gassed them all, and they've been looking for her ever since.
I don't think I'm ever gonna find her.
You found your friends again.
That's something.
What? I never took you for the maternal type.
What? What did I say? You don't know a whole lot about me.
You don't know what I've been through.
You don't know how I feel.
You don't know what I've lost.
Let's not do this, alright? I wanna know.
Don't be silly.
I don't even know how you feel about me.
Look, I care about you a lot, alright? This is hard for me.
I told you before, I had a family, alright? I was responsible - This is really hard for me.
- Hard for you.
- Yeah, just you.
- No.
I didn't say that.
- I didn't say just - Shh.
What's going on? Look, I just haven't been feeling myself these past few days.
It might just be a feeling.
What if I'm pregnant? Pregnant? How could you be? Well, it's not like we used anything.
But we've only been together for a few weeks.
- It's too soon.
- Huh.
Don't worry.
I'm not gonna keep it if I am.
Not in a world like this and not with someone who doesn't It's fine.
Doc.
Doc will help me.
You didn't strike me as very scientific.
You judge every book by its cover? No.
I just didn't think vampire DNA was in your wheelhouse.
No, because I butcher them without remorse.
Hand me that slide.
I could kill a thousand of them and it wouldn't make a slew of difference.
But find a vaccine? An antidote? You think that's possible? Can the world go back to the way it was? I think the day that we stop trying is the day that they win.
And that can't happen.
I won't give up.
Ever.
You wanna take a look? I'm assuming you're a doctor.
Was it the name that gave it away? My real name is actually Don't.
I'd rather not know.
It's easier that way.
Ok.
This doesn't look like the vampire blood I've worked with before.
There's something abnormal with these leukocytes, like they're in some sort of stage of rapid transition.
Yeah, like they're adapting.
- Changing cell structure.
- Yeah.
Evolving.
But evolutionary adaptation is generational.
Slow.
Could could something have accelerated that? Is that supposed to happen? No.
Stay put.
Did you check all the connections? The whole electrical grid is offline.
What about the back-up generator? I built this system to be failsafe.
[SNARLING.]
I think the failsafe just failed.
Everybody get to the roof now.
Go! - Ferals! - There! [GUN SHOTS.]
I can't see shit.
Do you have night vision goggles? How's that? These sons of bitches are using tools.
[GUN SHOTS.]
[GROWLING.]
What's with the one with the scar? Hey.
What's going on? Did they cut the power? The cables are buried and the generator shack is forged steel.
Ok, well if the generator failed on its own I checked it daily.
No way.
Do you see anything? I can't get a beat on them.
They've taken cover.
[SNARLING.]
Is that one of them calling to the others? Not calling, giving orders.
Come on.
That's not possible.
Why aren't they attacking again now that it's dark? Because that ugly prick, scar head, is smarter than the rest of them.
He's up to something.
The generator stays offline, it's only a matter of time before they attack again.
We've gotta fix that power.
No, that's a suicide mission.
I'll go alone.
Why? You think we can't handle it? You look the part but beyond that, are you? Try me.
Hey, look.
We work in pairs.
We have each other's backs.
You run this joint, can you get the generator back online? There's an alternate coupling in the shack.
If we can get there and it's not been compromised.
We'll go for that.
Fine.
Axel and I will create a distraction.
The rest of you, cover us from the roof.
Use the flares.
If you get a clear shot, take it.
There's only a few left.
Use them wisely.
Let's do this.
Anything? Nothing.
Come on out, you ugly sons of bitches! No movement.
Why aren't they taking the bait? I don't know.
Listen, I've been thinking.
- Phil.
- No, I need to say this.
If you are pregnant This isn't quite the right time, don't you think? Look.
Please don't don't do anything until we have a chance to talk, alright? - Can you be quiet, please? - Promise me.
I'm serious.
Shh.
Lock secure.
Door's not breached.
How did they cut the power? They dug down.
But how did they know to do that? You got me.
Alright, two minutes to flip the relays.
You got one.
Come on, scar head! Come on out and play! Fire another one! - Hey! - [GROWLS.]
Where the hell did that one come from? Yeah.
That's it, baby.
Yeah.
- Oh, shit.
- [GROWLING.]
[GUN SHOT.]
[GROWLING.]
Oh shit.
Shit.
Run! [GROWLING.]
[GUN FIRE.]
Quick! Go! [GUN FIRE.]
[GROWLING.]
Now.
[BUZZING.]
Callie, I was telling Doc it's some kinda crazy miracle you're alive.
Well, my mom always said she'd watch out for me.
I think she still does.
Plus, I got skills.
[LAUGHS.]
What? You guys see me as some kid, but I know things.
Like today I'm gonna show Jessie how to fix the radio.
Ok.
You buy any of that? She's still here, isn't she? The kid's a good luck charm.
Everyone she runs with ends up dead.
Nah.
There's no more luck in the world.
Not anymore.
People can make their own luck.
Find someone who really sees them for who they are.
Turn their life in a different direction.
A better one.
We are who we are.
And do you know who you are? You're someone who risked everything to save a friend.
You gave Axel his life back.
Whether he sees the sacrifice in that, the bravery.
It doesn't matter.
Because I see it.
I see you.
Who are you? I'm Jolene.
And you are? I'm Sarah.
Not from San Francisco, from Seattle.
Well.
- Hello Sarah from Seattle.
- [LAUGHS.]
It's nice to meet you.
Finally.
Yeah.
[WHIMPERING.]
You wanna take a look? Yeah, sure.
Is something different? Yeah.
Ever changing.
That's the thing.
These cells from Dennis, the activity hasn't stopped.
Yeah.
Huh.
That's not natural.
You think someone engineered it.
Look at the patterns.
Adaptation at this pace doesn't happen in nature.
These ferals are changing faster than they should.
And they're displaying traits they've never shown before.
The pack behaviour, the traps.
Problem-solving.
And there's something else.
Watch what happens when I rupture the cell membrane of this sample.
[BUZZ.]
Is that spontaneous regeneration? But if these things can more than just heal but actually regenerate from critical trauma? They're gonna be harder than ever to kill.
- Yeah.
- And who knows? Maybe eventually we won't be able to kill them at all.
And you think someone engineered this? Why? Who? I have my theories.
But it doesn't matter who it was.
We need to put the genie back in the bottle before it's too late.
Isn't it already? Not if we could find a hybrid control sample.
Engineer our own antidote.
Use my blood.
Why? What good would that do? I used to be one of them.
What're you talking about? I was bitten by a woman with special abilities.
Her name is Vanessa.
She made me human again.
Dennis? [DISHES CLATTER.]
- [SCREAMS.]
- Hey! Hey! Hey, what's going on? Dennis, he he's not dead.
- He went outside.
- No, no, no.
It was a head shot.
- There's no coming back from that.
- I know what I saw.
If you don't believe me go see it for yourself.
- It's ok.
It's alright.
- Don't touch me! Phil, the sun isn't burning.
How is that thing still alive? - I don't know.
Blast it.
- [GUN FIRE.]
[MOANS.]
[GROWLING.]
[GUN SHOT.]
Shit! We better get back and warn the others.
[GROWLING.]
- Oh, shit! - Shit! I've only got a few more rounds.
[GROWLING AND SNARLING.]
How Why are humans immune from turning? Oh, my god, Julius.
This one won't change.
How can you be in the sun without burning? Answer me first.
Or he dies.
[GUN FIRE.]
Kill him! Save the woman for me.
[GUN FIRE.]
What's going on in here? - Open the door! - No! They'll get in, they'll kill us all.
Jessie.
Jessie.
Give me the gun.
Give me the gun.
Your friends, they're gonna kill them.
It's locked from the outside! They trapped us in here.
Is there another way outta here? [GROWLING.]
[GUN FIRE.]
[CLICKING.]
No! Noooooo! No! No! Lucky! No! No! No! No! No! No! Wait! See if she turns.
Where are they? Behind cover.
We gotta get down there.
Rope.
We can repel down.
- No! - I can't It's ok.
It's ok.
It's alright.
It's ok.
We'll find Vanessa.
She'll turn you back.
Baby.
We'll find Vanessa, she'll turn you back.
I won't let it happen! It's ok.
It's ok.
It's ok.
It's ok.
We'll find Vanessa.
- No.
- Run.
- Run.
- I love you.
I love you.
You know I'm never good at talking things out.
Get her now! [GROWLING.]
[SOBBING.]
[FEASTING.]
[EXPLOSION .]
No.
No, you got it all wrong.
Doc tried to save me.
She risked her life for mine.
Hey.
Do you have the key? Dmitri, he I'm sorry.
What key? The one the one her and Vanessa got from the farm.
It's supposed to open up a crypt for the elder.
What? Come with me.
I hacked up the rest of the ferals.
Burned them so they can't come back.
No sign of that one with the scar, though.
Yeah, well we'll have to hunt him down before he can infect others.
Scarlett and I will take care of it.
Boss beat you to it.
She and Scarlett headed out already.
They took off, just the two of them? Why? I don't know.
She said something about: "Only she and I can take care of this now".
Yes, that's right.
Latitude 45.
26.
16 north, longitude 116.
39.
42 west.
- You got that? - Callie, stop playing with that.
It's not a toy.
I'm not playing.
I fixed it.
The transponder? I'm talking to someone.
I told you.
Stop messing around with it, ok? We're closing in on your location now.
- Stay where you are.
- Who was that? Callie, who did you contact? [HELICOPTER WHIRRING.]
Goddamn apocalypse.
If that thing survived the blast it's long gone.
We should head back.
We're not going back.
We have something else we have to do first.
- What? - The key.
We have to get to the elder before Dmitri can release it from the crypt.
I don't know where the crypt is.
Sure you do.
The mountain.
You've always known.
How do you know about that? Because, Scarlett, I told you and your sister all those years ago.
You're my mother?
Ok, you guys are gonna go 45 miles due east up the mountain.
We'll meet you at Crooked Falls.
That's new.
I think it happened when Vanessa bit me.
And we free the elder.
Go.
Tell the Van Helsing what has happened here.
Where's Callie? Everybody's scattering.
We can't keep them together.
Look, we gotta help as many as we can, ok? That's all we can do.
What is the point? If you were down there running for your life every day you'd wanna know there's somewhere safe to run to.
What's wrong with hope? Sweetheart, don't be afraid.
There are things I need to tell you.
Charles is going to keep you safe.
He's the strong one.
Always was.
Listen to him.
Believe what he tells you.
He knows the truth.
What truth, Mama? Easy now, Ella.
Remember our promise.
I can't go without her knowing.
[COUGHING.]
I'm calling the doctor.
No.
No.
I always loved you, Scarlett.
No matter what.
You were the light to my darkness even though Mama? - Mama, no! - [GASPS.]
Mom, no.
She's gone now, Scarlett.
To a better place, where nothing can hurt her anymore.
No.
So difficult to live all those years with secrets she could never share.
It did this to her.
And she didn't even know everything.
Everyone thought you died in that fire.
Even your real mother.
What did you just say? You're not my father.
He lied to you all those years about who he was.
Who you really were.
You're the elder.
Out of darkness comes light.
Truth.
Why are you doing this to me? I brought Vanessa back to the farm so she could find me.
I never expected to locate you there, as well.
But now she's gone.
Gone? I thought you could reach into her mind like you're doing to me.
Right now.
Her light is no more.
Merely shadows and silence.
It's you who must free me.
I will never set you free.
I kill your kind.
That is my destiny.
If only you truly understood everything.
Come to me.
[GASPING.]
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey.
- It's ok, it's ok, it's ok.
- Where are we? It's just a dream.
It's just a dream.
We're in Crooked Falls, remember? We got here a couple of days ago.
How long have we been out? - Twelve hours, more or less.
- Oh.
Ok.
Never thought I'd sleep like that again.
Another one of the visions? Yeah.
Vanessa? No.
This is weather station Crooked Falls, trying all frequencies, can anyone hear me? This is weather station Crooked Falls.
Hope you like it black.
Haven't seen a cow in years.
Here I was hoping for a mochaccino.
Hey, Jessie, you know the other two that I was talking about.
They're supposed to meet us here.
Any sign? The boss went out to look for them.
If anyone can rescue them, she can.
Rescue? We're above the clouds.
It's supposed to be safe.
In daytime, sure.
At night we get plenty of ferals sniffing around the perimeter.
That's why we take precautions.
Those shutters and electro-covering keep the bunkhouse protected until sunup.
Safest place for miles around.
These friends of yours.
Why'd you split up, anyway? Wouldn't it be safer to stay as a group? We needed a decoy.
Something they have with them.
Yeah, something we need to get back.
So they better make it.
Or what? Sure.
Play your cards close to your chest.
No reason to trust any of us, right? We're just giving you food, shelter.
Never mind, Dennis.
He's not a fan of strangers.
Know the feeling.
Hey, uh you said that your boss was out looking for our friends? Any idea when she's gonna be back? She's never been gone this long.
[GROWLING.]
[GROWLING.]
[GRUNTS.]
It's ok.
You're safe now.
Open up.
Took a wrong turn? I'm trying to get to this place.
This is weather station Crooked Falls trying all frequencies.
Can anybody hear me? This is weather station Crooked Falls trying all frequencies.
Can anybody hear me? It was you guys with those little red balloons, huh? Any luck? Nah, not really.
What about the radio? Transponder's been busted for a while.
Only get a dozen or so miles in range.
But you never know, right? You really think there's still a world out there? Free from all this, gonna come rescue you? Dad was a firefighter.
He always used to say, "You don't give up until the last man is safe".
Five alarm fires never stopped him.
He'll come find me one day.
He promised.
They couldn't have taken over the whole world, right? You gotta hang on to hope what else is there? This is weather station Crooked Falls.
Sundown's coming in a few hours.
We better get back.
Never let yourself get trapped in a car like that.
Survival 101.
How the hell have you lasted this long without being bitten? Oh, shit.
Poor bastard.
What happened to you? [COUGHING.]
Oh, god.
A lot of bite marks but why the dismemberment? Ferals don't do that.
Jessie's map.
- It's gone.
- Map? The ferals are too backwards to use the map.
What what? And they're not supposed to make traps, either.
[SNARLING.]
- Run! - Shit.
Hey.
She's still not back? What does she usually do out there, anyway? Hunt.
Kill ferals that get too close.
Keeps it safer at night.
Yeah, but alone? - That's who she is.
- [BARKING.]
- Oh, shit.
- It's Doc! [GASPING.]
Ferals? It can't be.
It's still light.
Yeah, tell that to the one chasing us down the trail.
McGrath, get her inside! The altitude.
She needs oxygen.
Jessie! - Cover the roof.
- Copy.
Why are you alone? Do you have it? - [GASPS.]
- Doc.
Can't breathe.
Where are you going? If the sun doesn't get 'em, I will.
Need help? Never have.
[COCKS GUN.]
- You're ok.
- Doc.
Where's Julius? - So you just left him to die? - No, no.
He was already dead.
Dmitri killed him.
- While you ran.
- No! I tried to save him, I swear I did.
- Don't even.
- I tried to I fought back but they were so much stronger Shut up! You don't give a shit about anybody but yourself, you never have.
You you wouldn't even be here if it weren't for me.
I swear to god, if you don't shut your mouth What're you gonna do? You gonna hit me? - You gonna hit me?! - Ok, enough.
Enough.
Stop.
It's not even the point.
Do you have the key? Did Dmitri get the key? Because if he has it and he knows where he's going then we're totally I'm sorry.
I did everything that I could.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
It's just words, Doc.
You're the one that should be dead.
Well, one of these roads leads to somewhere called Crooked Falls.
Any guesses? All I know is Colorado should be south.
- Which way is that? - I don't know.
I wish I did but I don't.
You're the one having these visions of Vanessa.
Visions? What visions? Look, I can't explain them, alright? And the truth is they stopped a couple of days ago.
I wanted to tell you, but I'm supposed to be the one on the mission to find her.
The one with the plan and I can't do it.
Someone needs to make a decision which way we're going.
This altitude's making me queasy [TWIG SNAPS.]
Callie? Oh, how did you [LAUGHS.]
I found a balloon with a map.
Follow me.
Hey, kiddo.
He's never gonna believe me.
Trust me.
It's better this way.
What're you gonna do? I walked away from something that mattered.
People who who cared about me, valued me.
The dying don't judge.
They trust.
That's all they have.
I don't know.
If I can just make it back to triage or There's nothing left to say.
Good luck, Scarlett.
I hope you can save us all from this.
Where do you think you're running off to? Anywhere but here.
If this was morning, fine.
I wouldn't block you.
But this close to dark? No.
Daybreak, you can all carry on going.
All? This place is too important to just take in any old strays.
Besides, we don't have food and water for all of you.
It's beginning to sound familiar, isn't it? Powering up.
Now.
Safe and sound.
Why does it feel like we're being trapped in another cage? Scared? That's not what I said.
[BARKING.]
- What's up, Shadow? - [GUNFIRE OUTSIDE.]
Listen, listen, listen, listen.
[BARKING.]
[MORE GUNFIRE.]
That's people.
[DISTANT GUNFIRE.]
There.
Three o'clock.
There's three people and a kid.
It's Flesh.
What kinda name is that? Come on, boss.
They'll never get inside unless we power down the grid.
Oh, hell no.
No, those ferals shouldn't even be up here this close to sunset.
Something ain't right.
Do it.
Quickly.
- No current.
- All clear.
Come on, nightfall's coming, let's go! Get inside! Go, go, go! Come on! - Come on! - Get in! Come on.
I don't have a shot, he's in the way.
Shadow, no! Come back! - Dennis! - Get inside! Come on, get inside! Go back! - Hey! Hey! - Stay inside! Get back in here, now! [GROWLING.]
Shadow.
Shadow! [SNARLING.]
Hey! Dennis? Christ.
What do I do? You gotta shoot him, McGrath.
But it's Dennis.
Not anymore, it's not.
[SNARLING.]
I can't.
He's my friend.
[GUN SHOT.]
Not a friend of mine.
Well, there's no cuts, no bruising, and your internal organs seem fine.
How have you made it here? Well, after you left the medical camp got overrun by vampires.
Some of us escaped.
We all got split up.
But then .
.
then we found them again.
Who? Jolene.
Yeah.
So, was it worth it? Stealing all that blood? The vampire? I don't know anymore.
It didn't exactly go as planned.
[EXHALES.]
Hey there, kiddo.
How're you doin'? I brought you some of that food you liked back at the hospital.
Thanks.
You know, you look a lot better being human again.
I guess Doc got you to Vanessa after all.
- Was he the guy that - The vampire in the woods? See? Doc helped him turn back again.
It's my fault.
I wanted to let your friends in.
Nobody expected a trap.
One of them lured him around the corner, another was waiting for him.
Like coyotes.
I've never seen a feral act that way.
I mean, it was strangely calculated.
How did they get past the perimeter fence? I found a hole cut through it.
But not with their teeth, either.
Like they used tools.
I mean, the sun hadn't even fully set.
At this altitude the UV rays should burn them even at dusk.
Ok, so either they've turned suicidal or they're changing.
They're getting smarter.
No.
They can't.
They didn't feed on your friend.
They turned him they ran away.
Why? I don't know yet.
I need to take some samples and do a biopsy.
She's asleep.
After everything she's been through.
It's amazing, the resilience of kids.
They just keep on going, no matter what.
Phil, are you ok? No.
I um, I talked to Axel.
Apparently they found Vanessa and then um, someone showed up in a helicopter and took her, gassed them all, and they've been looking for her ever since.
I don't think I'm ever gonna find her.
You found your friends again.
That's something.
What? I never took you for the maternal type.
What? What did I say? You don't know a whole lot about me.
You don't know what I've been through.
You don't know how I feel.
You don't know what I've lost.
Let's not do this, alright? I wanna know.
Don't be silly.
I don't even know how you feel about me.
Look, I care about you a lot, alright? This is hard for me.
I told you before, I had a family, alright? I was responsible - This is really hard for me.
- Hard for you.
- Yeah, just you.
- No.
I didn't say that.
- I didn't say just - Shh.
What's going on? Look, I just haven't been feeling myself these past few days.
It might just be a feeling.
What if I'm pregnant? Pregnant? How could you be? Well, it's not like we used anything.
But we've only been together for a few weeks.
- It's too soon.
- Huh.
Don't worry.
I'm not gonna keep it if I am.
Not in a world like this and not with someone who doesn't It's fine.
Doc.
Doc will help me.
You didn't strike me as very scientific.
You judge every book by its cover? No.
I just didn't think vampire DNA was in your wheelhouse.
No, because I butcher them without remorse.
Hand me that slide.
I could kill a thousand of them and it wouldn't make a slew of difference.
But find a vaccine? An antidote? You think that's possible? Can the world go back to the way it was? I think the day that we stop trying is the day that they win.
And that can't happen.
I won't give up.
Ever.
You wanna take a look? I'm assuming you're a doctor.
Was it the name that gave it away? My real name is actually Don't.
I'd rather not know.
It's easier that way.
Ok.
This doesn't look like the vampire blood I've worked with before.
There's something abnormal with these leukocytes, like they're in some sort of stage of rapid transition.
Yeah, like they're adapting.
- Changing cell structure.
- Yeah.
Evolving.
But evolutionary adaptation is generational.
Slow.
Could could something have accelerated that? Is that supposed to happen? No.
Stay put.
Did you check all the connections? The whole electrical grid is offline.
What about the back-up generator? I built this system to be failsafe.
[SNARLING.]
I think the failsafe just failed.
Everybody get to the roof now.
Go! - Ferals! - There! [GUN SHOTS.]
I can't see shit.
Do you have night vision goggles? How's that? These sons of bitches are using tools.
[GUN SHOTS.]
[GROWLING.]
What's with the one with the scar? Hey.
What's going on? Did they cut the power? The cables are buried and the generator shack is forged steel.
Ok, well if the generator failed on its own I checked it daily.
No way.
Do you see anything? I can't get a beat on them.
They've taken cover.
[SNARLING.]
Is that one of them calling to the others? Not calling, giving orders.
Come on.
That's not possible.
Why aren't they attacking again now that it's dark? Because that ugly prick, scar head, is smarter than the rest of them.
He's up to something.
The generator stays offline, it's only a matter of time before they attack again.
We've gotta fix that power.
No, that's a suicide mission.
I'll go alone.
Why? You think we can't handle it? You look the part but beyond that, are you? Try me.
Hey, look.
We work in pairs.
We have each other's backs.
You run this joint, can you get the generator back online? There's an alternate coupling in the shack.
If we can get there and it's not been compromised.
We'll go for that.
Fine.
Axel and I will create a distraction.
The rest of you, cover us from the roof.
Use the flares.
If you get a clear shot, take it.
There's only a few left.
Use them wisely.
Let's do this.
Anything? Nothing.
Come on out, you ugly sons of bitches! No movement.
Why aren't they taking the bait? I don't know.
Listen, I've been thinking.
- Phil.
- No, I need to say this.
If you are pregnant This isn't quite the right time, don't you think? Look.
Please don't don't do anything until we have a chance to talk, alright? - Can you be quiet, please? - Promise me.
I'm serious.
Shh.
Lock secure.
Door's not breached.
How did they cut the power? They dug down.
But how did they know to do that? You got me.
Alright, two minutes to flip the relays.
You got one.
Come on, scar head! Come on out and play! Fire another one! - Hey! - [GROWLS.]
Where the hell did that one come from? Yeah.
That's it, baby.
Yeah.
- Oh, shit.
- [GROWLING.]
[GUN SHOT.]
[GROWLING.]
Oh shit.
Shit.
Run! [GROWLING.]
[GUN FIRE.]
Quick! Go! [GUN FIRE.]
[GROWLING.]
Now.
[BUZZING.]
Callie, I was telling Doc it's some kinda crazy miracle you're alive.
Well, my mom always said she'd watch out for me.
I think she still does.
Plus, I got skills.
[LAUGHS.]
What? You guys see me as some kid, but I know things.
Like today I'm gonna show Jessie how to fix the radio.
Ok.
You buy any of that? She's still here, isn't she? The kid's a good luck charm.
Everyone she runs with ends up dead.
Nah.
There's no more luck in the world.
Not anymore.
People can make their own luck.
Find someone who really sees them for who they are.
Turn their life in a different direction.
A better one.
We are who we are.
And do you know who you are? You're someone who risked everything to save a friend.
You gave Axel his life back.
Whether he sees the sacrifice in that, the bravery.
It doesn't matter.
Because I see it.
I see you.
Who are you? I'm Jolene.
And you are? I'm Sarah.
Not from San Francisco, from Seattle.
Well.
- Hello Sarah from Seattle.
- [LAUGHS.]
It's nice to meet you.
Finally.
Yeah.
[WHIMPERING.]
You wanna take a look? Yeah, sure.
Is something different? Yeah.
Ever changing.
That's the thing.
These cells from Dennis, the activity hasn't stopped.
Yeah.
Huh.
That's not natural.
You think someone engineered it.
Look at the patterns.
Adaptation at this pace doesn't happen in nature.
These ferals are changing faster than they should.
And they're displaying traits they've never shown before.
The pack behaviour, the traps.
Problem-solving.
And there's something else.
Watch what happens when I rupture the cell membrane of this sample.
[BUZZ.]
Is that spontaneous regeneration? But if these things can more than just heal but actually regenerate from critical trauma? They're gonna be harder than ever to kill.
- Yeah.
- And who knows? Maybe eventually we won't be able to kill them at all.
And you think someone engineered this? Why? Who? I have my theories.
But it doesn't matter who it was.
We need to put the genie back in the bottle before it's too late.
Isn't it already? Not if we could find a hybrid control sample.
Engineer our own antidote.
Use my blood.
Why? What good would that do? I used to be one of them.
What're you talking about? I was bitten by a woman with special abilities.
Her name is Vanessa.
She made me human again.
Dennis? [DISHES CLATTER.]
- [SCREAMS.]
- Hey! Hey! Hey, what's going on? Dennis, he he's not dead.
- He went outside.
- No, no, no.
It was a head shot.
- There's no coming back from that.
- I know what I saw.
If you don't believe me go see it for yourself.
- It's ok.
It's alright.
- Don't touch me! Phil, the sun isn't burning.
How is that thing still alive? - I don't know.
Blast it.
- [GUN FIRE.]
[MOANS.]
[GROWLING.]
[GUN SHOT.]
Shit! We better get back and warn the others.
[GROWLING.]
- Oh, shit! - Shit! I've only got a few more rounds.
[GROWLING AND SNARLING.]
How Why are humans immune from turning? Oh, my god, Julius.
This one won't change.
How can you be in the sun without burning? Answer me first.
Or he dies.
[GUN FIRE.]
Kill him! Save the woman for me.
[GUN FIRE.]
What's going on in here? - Open the door! - No! They'll get in, they'll kill us all.
Jessie.
Jessie.
Give me the gun.
Give me the gun.
Your friends, they're gonna kill them.
It's locked from the outside! They trapped us in here.
Is there another way outta here? [GROWLING.]
[GUN FIRE.]
[CLICKING.]
No! Noooooo! No! No! Lucky! No! No! No! No! No! No! Wait! See if she turns.
Where are they? Behind cover.
We gotta get down there.
Rope.
We can repel down.
- No! - I can't It's ok.
It's ok.
It's alright.
It's ok.
We'll find Vanessa.
She'll turn you back.
Baby.
We'll find Vanessa, she'll turn you back.
I won't let it happen! It's ok.
It's ok.
It's ok.
It's ok.
We'll find Vanessa.
- No.
- Run.
- Run.
- I love you.
I love you.
You know I'm never good at talking things out.
Get her now! [GROWLING.]
[SOBBING.]
[FEASTING.]
[EXPLOSION .]
No.
No, you got it all wrong.
Doc tried to save me.
She risked her life for mine.
Hey.
Do you have the key? Dmitri, he I'm sorry.
What key? The one the one her and Vanessa got from the farm.
It's supposed to open up a crypt for the elder.
What? Come with me.
I hacked up the rest of the ferals.
Burned them so they can't come back.
No sign of that one with the scar, though.
Yeah, well we'll have to hunt him down before he can infect others.
Scarlett and I will take care of it.
Boss beat you to it.
She and Scarlett headed out already.
They took off, just the two of them? Why? I don't know.
She said something about: "Only she and I can take care of this now".
Yes, that's right.
Latitude 45.
26.
16 north, longitude 116.
39.
42 west.
- You got that? - Callie, stop playing with that.
It's not a toy.
I'm not playing.
I fixed it.
The transponder? I'm talking to someone.
I told you.
Stop messing around with it, ok? We're closing in on your location now.
- Stay where you are.
- Who was that? Callie, who did you contact? [HELICOPTER WHIRRING.]
Goddamn apocalypse.
If that thing survived the blast it's long gone.
We should head back.
We're not going back.
We have something else we have to do first.
- What? - The key.
We have to get to the elder before Dmitri can release it from the crypt.
I don't know where the crypt is.
Sure you do.
The mountain.
You've always known.
How do you know about that? Because, Scarlett, I told you and your sister all those years ago.
You're my mother?
