Van Helsing (2016) s03e02 Episode Script

Previously on Van Helsing [GROANS.]
Your sister sent me to find you.
[CRYING.]
Vanessa Vanessa - Susan? - The elder.
It's pledged to help us.
It took on a persona it was comfortable with.
- Mom? - Each elder has something.
A totem that leads to the dark one.
Stop the elders.
Find the totems.
So where's yours? Give it to me.
I cannot.
I do not possess it.
Well, I know what I gotta do so I'm gonna go do it.
We're in this together, until the end.
- You and me.
- All of us.
Let's go kill some vampires.
[RAIN POURING.]
[THUNDER ROLLS.]
[HORSE WHINNIES.]
Good evening, I'm Edward Hawkins, Lord Hawkins.
And this is my wife, Lillian.
- We've been expecting you, sir.
- Indeed.
Lillian is here to, um she's here indefinitely.
For rest.
Naturally.
I do hope you know what you're doing.
I do.
Give this to our daughter.
For safe keeping.
And darling, if I do not return, you know what to do.
Very good.
Just a few preliminary questions, then.
- Maiden name? - Van Helsing.
Lillian Van Helsing.
But you may call me Lilly.
[THUNDER ROLLS.]
[DISTANT SCREAMING.]
[DISTANT SCREAMING.]
Thank you, my pretty one.
I'll see you again tomorrow night.
[KISSING SOUNDS.]
Well, well.
Looks like somebody's lost their way.
I'd be glad to help you back to your room, missy.
That won't be necessary.
I'll find my own way.
[CHOKING.]
[FAINT SCREECHING.]
[WHISPERS.]
My god.
[CRIES OUT IN PAIN.]
What are you? No! [GROANS.]
[CRIES OUT IN PAIN.]
We're closer now, I can feel it.
This? This is where your totem is? In a shitty little cabin in the woods? Soon all will be revealed to you.
You know what? I don't like how this works because it really sounds like you think you're in charge and you're not, so remember that.
Soon.
Just go.
And are you gonna finally start talking? Or is this how it's gonna be? The elder's just gonna wander around and you're gonna follow it and then we're gonna follow you? No one's saying anything to anybody? Sounds good to me.
- It's good to have her back, huh? - Yeah, a real treat.
[KNOCKING.]
Yeah? What is it? - Easy.
- We just need some help.
We're a little lost right now.
- Where? - To the asylum.
Why would I wanna go there? What's in it for me? Come back in the morning then.
No one wants to go up there this time of night, believe you me.
We do.
Ok then.
Now? - Now.
- [THUNDER ROLLS.]
This is as far as I go.
- [GROWLING.]
- Hey! Hey! Woah, woah, woah! What the hell are you doing?! Ah.
I must feed.
He helped us get here, for Christ's sakes.
It doesn't matter.
I must feed.
What the hell? It's over, ok? It happened.
Let's go.
Ok.
You're sure that totem of yours is here somewhere? It is.
I can feel it.
I know it is.
Okay, totem.
What the hell are we looking for? What is it? What does it look like, huh? Now what're you doing? Why are you just standing there? [SNAPS FINGERS.]
Hey.
Come on, take us to it! I cannot.
There's a presence here.
A powerful force causing my thoughts to be hazy.
When you see it you will know.
That's really great, thank you.
So helpful.
Oh, no, no, no.
You're not coming with us.
We might actually find someone in there.
We can't have you feasting on them so sit down.
Now.
[HISSES.]
Mmm.
Why don't we split up, see what we can find, and meet back here? Haven't you ever seen a horror movie? - That's exactly what we shouldn't do.
- Yeah, Axel's right.
We should be doing this together, like we said.
Ok, I'm not opposed to that, it's just we'd cover more ground initially if we - Come on now sleeping beauty.
- Ok, you know what? Just forget it.
Let's go.
Shit.
A bunch of dead bodies.
[CLATTER.]
Oh, sorry.
No.
Vampires.
[GROWLING.]
What're they doing? - I don't know.
- They're just standing there.
- What the hell kinda vampires do that? - I said I don't know.
[CRIES OUT IN PAIN.]
Jesus Christ, my head! We need to do something, now! [GUN SHOT.]
[GUN SHOTS.]
You gotta kill them in the head! [GROANING.]
[SCREAMING.]
[GUN SHOT.]
[SCREAMING.]
[RETCHING.]
My, my.
So, you too? Looks like it.
I'm alive? Hello.
I'm Dr.
Karloff.
This place was always thought to be haunted.
I understand now what happened to me.
I I was turned and became one of them.
Without even realizing it.
You saved me.
Thank you very much, young lady.
So you have no knowledge of an artifact being here? Other than the storage rooms that run beneath the facility or the the attic, perhaps, but no, no, um, I have never heard of any sort of special um, what what is it? A an antique? That's a very good question.
Uh, what is it? Remind us? When you see it you will know.
Oh my god.
You are absolutely useless.
Pledge to us, it says.
Pledge to get in our goddamn way, apparently.
All will become clear to you.
Oh my god.
Shut your mouth.
So, no totem, no mention of - anything to do with a Van Helsing or - What? Van Helsings? Oh, no.
That's that's a very different story.
We had a Van Helsing stay here around the turn of the century.
A woman who, if I I believe if I remember the story correctly yes, yes.
She died here.
Under very mysterious circumstances.
Very mysterious.
Did I did I say something wrong? You really think she's ok? She seems way off to me.
- Yeah, I know.
- She's always been a tough ass, but either they did something to her at that place - or she's becoming more - Yeah.
You didn't say anything to her about us, did you? What? God, no.
No.
I would never do that.
This is - our business, you know? - Lucky these files were in a sealed room.
But they're so old, I don't even know if they're going to be legible.
Best let me handle this, young man, - as I know what we're looking for.
- Ok.
But, you know, I can read.
Just let us look, ok? Alright, I was just trying to help.
I just wanna get out of here and find the totems - so leave us alone for a second.
- Yeah, I was just trying to be useful.
But you're not, so Ok, Nancy Drew, so you're the only one that can find the clues now, - is that how it works? - Look Axel, it doesn't concern you.
It doesn't concern me? What have I been doing for the last four years? What is going on with you? You've been acting weird ever since we met up at Blak Tec.
- And now you're, like, just gonna - [CHEWING.]
Well, now the elder thing is eating spiders, - so that's happening.
- I mean, this is insane.
I think I found something.
- Wow.
- Look at her.
She's really lovely.
Delicate.
Yeah, she's nice-looking.
What? She is.
You can definitely tell she's one of us.
Look at her eyes.
Does it say anything about what happened to her? Why she was here? - A list of belongings? Anything? - Ooh, it mentions only that she was placed here by her husband for hysteria.
- Um - Does it say what happened to her? Uh, she ah, she was placed in seclusion and oh, my.
It appears she escaped her cell on her very first night.
- Sounds like a Van Helsing.
- [CHUCKLING.]
And murdered a guard.
[LAUGHS.]
She's uh, it just that she was also killed on the first night here.
- Dead on her first night in the hospital? - Yes, yes.
I'm afraid so.
I suppose that's why I knew the name.
It was a very infamous story.
Ok, well how did she die? Ah, well, there's nothing in the original report but um, let's see.
Ah.
In the medical report it mentions yes, here.
Ah.
Bruising to the face and body, extensive brain damage.
Yes, she had a brain trauma of some sort and and her head was also then caved in, as if she had been - Yeah, ok, we get it.
She was dead.
- Alright, alright.
Yes, oh yes.
Very dead.
On her first night in the hospital.
So she killed someone and then she dies was murdered, obviously.
That doesn't make any sense.
Unless her brain her brain.
Is she buried here? Is she buried here or elsewhere? Um here.
In Potter's Field, in front of the facility where most of the patients were buried at that time.
Most were.
- Ok, where - Um plot 46.
Uh, you better come with us, Doc.
You're still not coming.
Stay.
You're gonna dig that all out with your knife? Is that the plan? Unless you got a better idea.
Or a shovel, maybe? No? Ok.
- You could help if you want.
- There should be shovels, that sort of thing, where the groundskeeper was housed.
- Tools.
- Alright, alright.
I'll go, I'll go.
- Come on, Doc.
Show me where it's at.
- This way.
- So I guess we should probably - We can just dig.
We don't have to talk.
What a beautiful night.
- If you say so, Doc.
- [CHUCKLES.]
My oh my.
What is this place, Doc? Doesn't look like there's a whole lot of shovels in here.
- No, but there's this.
- [CLANG.]
[LAUGHS.]
[GROANS.]
Hey, hey.
Doc, what the hell is going on here? Doc? What's happening? We gotta get back upstairs to the girls, right? - Get the shovels, find the antique.
- Ha! I haven't done this in so, so long.
- Done what? - This.
The same principle that the vampires used on me.
Sucked the life right out of me.
Literally right out of my body.
They said I was a patient.
- You were a patient? - [LAUGHS.]
But I knew better, than that.
Yes, I did.
I waited.
I waited 'til I got my chance and then I killed them all.
Ha! Didn't I not kill them all? Yes, I did.
And then I let all the rest go free.
What a time that was.
It was a sweet, sweet time.
The vampires came and turned us.
And they sucked the life - Easy now.
- Right out of our brains.
No, no, wait a second.
No, no [GROANING.]
[LAUGHING.]
Where's Axel? He should be back by now.
I don't know.
Do you want me to go look for him? Of course you'd volunteer for that.
What's that supposed to mean? - Forget it.
- Ok.
You need to give it a rest.
Axel and I are not a thing.
Ok, we had a moment, you know, and we were whatever.
Look, I'm I'm sorry if I'm stepping on territory that you're interested in I'm not interested in the marine, I promise you.
I'm trying to stop an apocalypse.
So I'm not really dating right now.
Oh, ok.
Ok, well maybe you can explain the group shower.
What? I'm just curious.
He told you about that? Ok.
That was because of the hospital, - there was a water shortage.
- Mmm.
Hey.
He walked in on me and I pointed a rifle at him.
He mention that? Should go ask him if you want to.
You're the one who brought him up.
Yeah, because I thought he should be back by now.
Ok, well then go and find him yourself, or get the elder to go get him.
God, I'll just keep doing this.
I'm used to it, anyway.
What? - Grave robbing.
- What does that mean? Look, you don't know a goddamn thing about me, - 'cause you never talk.
- Yeah, we've been kinda busy since we met.
So what? We're sisters.
Apparently that doesn't mean anything to you.
Where is all this coming from? I have done nothing but try to get through to you since day one and you have been consistently shutting me down.
- That's not true.
- At least we were civil when we met.
What happened to you? What did that guy do to you? Vanessa? - What's going on with you? - I don't know what's going on with me! I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I don't know what's going on with me.
But you're right, something is.
Ever since the elder woke me, - bit me.
- What? He bit you? Before you know I'd use blood to kinda like get revved up or to track people, that kinda thing.
Ok.
But now I'm craving it.
If I start to turn you know what you have to do, right? You're fine.
You you're gonna be fine.
Whatever happens we'll figure it out.
[THUNK.]
[GASPS.]
Where are you, my happy little friend? You are a very special young man.
Because of that we're going to need a very special set of tools.
[GRUNTS.]
These little friends will do the trick.
Help me take your mind.
There's nothing here.
It's a man.
It's not Lilly.
Yeah, but the record said that it was gonna be here.
Yeah, obviously the records were wrong.
I mean, one number could be off and then Oh, great.
Yeah, that's great.
So now what then? So is it 47 or is it 45? Worse, what if it's the first number? What, are we supposed to be in the 30's? The 20's? I mean, this is shit.
Well, we could keep digging or we could go back in and check the records.
I mean, whatever you wanna do.
What do you wanna do? I I guess I think we should wait.
You know, 'cause if we go in there, they come looking for us and we're not here then they're gonna go inside there trying to find us and we're gonna be out here, we're not gonna find Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ok.
Ok.
You're right.
We wait.
Ok.
Perfect.
I hope your friends are enjoying their search out there in the cold.
- Why do you say that? - Well, to be fair I did send them on a bit of a wild goose chase.
In the cemetery? The Van Helsing woman I knew of, she was a very wealthy woman.
She would never have been buried outside.
- I don't understand - You don't have to understand.
In a few minutes nothing's gonna matter to you.
[LAUGHS.]
No, no, I get that.
I just I'm just curious.
Where would she be buried? Below.
- Below? - Below.
In the mausoleum.
That's where everybody of means was interred.
Yeah? Ah.
[GROANS.]
[GRUNTS.]
Ugh, god! Not so smart anymore, are ya, Doc? Ulgh! Hey! Hey! - Where's the doctor? - Uh, yeah, he's kinda dead.
So what, the whole "help us" thing was sort of - Pretty much.
- Right.
Yeah, forget about him and forget about out here.
She's not buried out here, I got that much outta the guy.
She's inside in the mausoleum.
- Are you alright? - Yeah, you know, for almost getting a lobotomy.
Shit.
Watch your backs.
I don't like this.
Really? Look as fast as you can, I don't like the feeling of this place.
Yeah, me neither, Sleeping Beauty.
It's alright.
Oh, you feel that? It's the same shit from upstairs.
[GROANS.]
It's worse.
- It's here.
- What? The thing that killed Lilly.
Turned all the others in here.
This is where it hides.
[GROANS.]
You gotta get out of here.
It's too strong for you.
- No.
I wanna fight with you.
- No, you need to live and Axel's not gonna make it.
Get him out of here.
Ok? Go.
Get the elder and send it to me.
- Ok.
Ok, come on.
- Go! Ok.
Come on, let's go.
Another vampire killer with a pretty face.
That's right.
You'll never meet another one like me, I'll promise you that.
Such bravado.
- Such hubris.
- That's right.
Keep talking.
Already your energy is becoming mine, even one as strong as you.
Yeah, that's alright.
There's plenty more where that came from.
I'm a Van Helsing.
Yes.
I thought as much.
I've watched your kind die before.
Keep talking.
Right up until I kill you.
[GUN SHOTS.]
[GROANS.]
Even one with powers as great as yours will not go forward.
You can't stop me.
Such great powers.
But you also carry a great anger.
A sadness.
[ROARS.]
Doesn't matter.
I don't have to fight you on my own.
And why might that be? Attack.
[ROARS.]
[CRIES OUT.]
That's so strange.
She looks like she died yesterday.
That's amazing.
Knowing she was one of us? Fought them like we do? I mean, she must have come here to kill the thing and then lost her life to it.
Probably had herself committed to get inside.
That's amazing.
Ladies, I'm about done with this creepy little dungeon - so if we could get a move on.
- Ok.
Woah.
- That's beautiful.
- My totem! Back off! Do not forget your place.
Give it back to me.
It's mine.
Yeah, like I said, can we get going? Ok, the elder and I will close Lilly's coffin.
Why don't you two go check the trail, see if it's still passable after the storm? Why, because someone ate our guide? Because of that? Don't take too long.
Axel.
I'll tell you later.
Ok.
Move away from it, Vanessa.
Close the lid and return it to its resting place, I beg you.
- What're you talking about? - Do not touch it.
Do not go near it.
What? - This? - Yes.
It must have had contact with an elder.
See the stains? Blood.
She must have fought the B'ah at some point in her short life.
- What's the B'ah? - Not what, but who.
My child, you still have so much to learn.
So, so much.
Even a great vampire hunter like yourself.
So, are we gonna talk about the red eye thing or not? Are you kidding me? How about we wait 'til day time? Baby.
- I'm not a baby, I'm a marine.
- Mmm.
Ok.
A marine who's afraid of the dark.
Shut up, I'm not afraid.
[CHOKING.]
Answer my goddamn question.
Oh, good.
Good.
Very good.
Rarely have I seen such anger in a human.
So much, in fact, it nearly got you killed.
- Back off.
- I cannot.
I serve you so I must stay close.
For now.
The B'ah is one of the great elders you will face and for that there is much you don't understand.
You nearly lost this battle.
You are not yet ready to face the strength of an elder, certainly not an elder like the B'ah.
- Then teach me.
- No.
Better still, I will show you.
