Ok Abe. Come on Abe, pick up Abe

pick up Abe

How the hell he found me.

Come on, Abe, pick up.

Oh!

Sarah.

Your father was very clear that if anything should

happen to him or if he were to disappear

for more than 30 days, that they are the deeds to this property

should transfer to you immediately.

You and your brother.

Of course, he is also instructed me to access an account

you have me set up so that they can pay

for all the funds to get you there

at your earliest convenience. I am,

but I understand you don't know where Cody is.

Oh, I know where he is.

He hasn't stopped posting about it.

He's just stopped returning my calls

and texts and emails.

I see.

So and.

So. I guess I'm going by myself.

I'm so sorry about this.

Your father is much more than just a client to us.

You know that.

So remember, I'm only a phone call away.

If anyway...

Here is your copy of the instructions.

There's a card inside attached to the account,

I guess is his bon voyage.

Thank you, Mr. Sure.

Good luck.

Hello.

We are unable to take your call.

Please leave a message

after the tone.

Cody.

It's me.

Look, I know you don't listen to your voicemail, but

I don't know what else to do.

Could you just call me?

It's important.

Are you sure this is the right place?

This is it!

Hi. Sorry to bother you

I was just wondering if... No thanks.

Wait, wait.

I just need to Shhhh

talk.

People trying to rescue Elena.

tend to the wash. Go on.

Yes. Hi.

I was just hoping that you could help

me with this... Please!

Come inside.

Thank you.

So, what exactly is this place?

This is a hospice home for those who are sick.

No. I know what a hospital is.

I just don't know what I'm doing here.

How did you find this place?

Through my father.

Your father?

His name's Alan Powell.

He's gone missing.

And his attorney gave me this.

Are you Alan Power's daughter?

Yeah. Do you know him?

I haven't heard from him in over a month,

and I'm really worried.

Caroline Powell, wow.

It's nice to meet you.

Never thought I'd have a chance.

I'm your Uncle Abe.

I see.

Your head is just filled with questions.

I want to show you something. Come with me, please.

Come, come, come, come, come. It's all right.

Come on. It's okay.

There's something really, really cool you got to see in here.

Come sweet Caroline.

Welcome to my study.

Kind of like my sanctuary where I like to do a lot

of my thinking.

Have a look.

Caroline, please take a seat.

I suspected something was up when your dad didn't show up.

He's pretty reliable and very capable.

So he was on his way here.

Do you think he's in some kind of trouble?

I hope not.

I sure hope not.

I'm sorry did you say that you were my uncle?

Dad didn't have any siblings.

On your mom's side, and technically

more like your great half uncle by marriage.

Once removed.

Yeah. Yeah, I think that's right.

Yeah.

Okay.

You're going to have to break that down for me a bit.

Can somebody please just tell me what's going on here?

How the hell are you people?

Well, this is Isabella.

Cool name, huh?

She's Romani.

That's a gypsy.

But we don't say that. It's not PC.

I heard that.

And that fiery chick at the door.

That's her daughter, Elaina.

And like I said, I'm your Uncle Abraham.

But most folks just call me Abe.

We don't know.

If we can trust her.

We've only just met her.

We don't have time for that.

Alan's missing.

If they find her here.

Besides, this is family.

And if you can't trust family, who can you trust?

I said rock.

Sure, why not? Right on come here.

Let me show you something

it's going to blow your mind.

Oh, my God.

What is all this stuff?

Look, this is going to sound a little weird.

Hey, Abraham.

See our family?

Well, we come from a long line of hunters.

For centuries, we have hunted, not critters in the forest.

Something else.

And there's no other way to put it.

But we're hunters of the tarnished.

The tarnished.

Kind of a catch all term

for all these evil spirits and malevolent

creatures from another world netherworld.

You know, vampires, witches,

demons, ghouls, ghosts, rays, revenants.

Real evil baddies.

Excuse me.

Here, check this out.

Let me give you a visual. This

is us.

I don't understand.

What is this?

Mom, dad!

Do you like tea?

You look like could use a cup of tea.

Come on, let's go sit in the kitchen.

Have a nice cup of tea.

Look, I think maybe I just need to.

You okay, Caroline?

You're safe

Here.

Drink!

What just happened?

It's just like I couldn't

take my eyes away.

I thought I saw.

What is this?

Herbal tea. It's good.

Isabella's elixirs are sure fire.

Sorry, I could have eased you into that a bit better.

Sometimes I can be a bit of an ignoramus.

What the hell are you?

I couldn't look away from you back there.

Let's start with that last question and work our way back.

Okay.

I like you.

I'm a descendant of Van Helsing.

You know

Van Helsing, famed vampire slayer of law.

And I have been.

I didn't ask who you are.

I asked what you are.

I can look away from you, but they're in your weird hippie

den. That one's a bit complicated.

Try me.

Rather than recount the entire convoluted history,

let me give you the CliffsNotes version.

Okay.

You come from a long line of sentinels.

Protectors of the good vanquishing of evil.

Your bloodline.

That of your ancestors, was gifted with or curse

with, depending on how you look at it.

Certain protective, preternatural, if you will,

abilities that give us an edge in our

mission to vanquish the tarnished. Okay.

All right. Just hold on.

Please let me finish.

Because we've been gifted with these attributes

for generations.

These baddies often target our family for obvious reasons.

Boy, they've tried it all

fire, famine, disease, poison,

anything to put us into the ground before we put them there.

So we've been forced to go into hiding

to protect our identities and those of our loved ones.

Are you telling me that

one of these things killed my mom?

Honestly, I don't know.

I mean, your mother's cancer

could have been completely, you know, natural causes.

Impossible to determine, but I know your mom is sorely missed.

So this. Is just.

I know it sounds crazy.

No, I don't understand.

My mother is dead,

and I know my dad is missing.

They leave me here.

And you're telling me that.

That what they knew about all of this crazy stuff that they were

their secret vampire hunters?

Where they?

Well, technically, your mother was the hunter.

Not only of vampires.

I know this is a lot to.

Take care of, right?

What's happening to me?

It's okay. It's all right.

I don't know what's going on here.

I some air.

Caroline.

Caroline! You're really here.

Come here.

Range

Rover.

Pass the call.

This hillbilly group

slows cross.

Don't drop her, she is going to faint!

Man, this is insane.

So you're telling me my mom's the vampire slayer,

and so are you? That's right.

And so are you.

It's a messy business, but someone's got to do it.

I'm sure you got a few good war stories.

Maybe later.

So you've actually seen a vampire?

More than one.

And other things.

Oh, my God.

There she is.

I was just filling in your brother and his pal about the

family history.

How are you Carrie?

I know it's been a while.

I feel like I've. been hit by a truck

Two times in one day.

That's not good.

You might need a neurologist.

Okay.

That's okay.

Rest.

Know that you are all together again.

Your powers will only grow stronger.

And then it will take a while for you

to be able to control them properly.

Wait, what? Did you just say powers?

Oh, yeah, about that.

Abraham, please.

Not all at once. Take it slowly.

Good point, Izzy.

You know,

you might have what we call the vision.

The what?

Those with vision, Cassie, into people's past

and memories sense their fears, emotions, desires.

Just by touching them.

Like your mother. In time you may be up to much more.

Desires that come in handy in the club scene. Bro.

I'm sorry.

Who exactly are you?

Yeah.

Hang on, Carrie.

You're not going to believe this.

You remember our old house on Oak Ridge, right?

Kid from down the block. Skip.

Skip Parker.

I look a bit different now.

Oh, my God.

Skip.

What are you doing here?

It's exactly what I said.

How is this possible?

When I took off to the Caribbean last year.

I just have to run into him

in a bar on Saint Martin.

How's that for a coincidence?

Hey, Carrie.

Been a while, huh?

Wow the pain is gone.

How did you do that?

You're not the only one with abilities.

Isabel is a healer, among other things.

I also happen to be a very good cook.

Which reminds me, I need to check on dinner.

Thank you Isabela.

So what about me?

I got any powers?

Hard to say, but we'll soon find out now that the three of us are

reunited.

Seriously, this dud's got powers?

What's wrong?

Is it your head.

I haven't seen you in over a year.

What the hell are you even doing here?

What? You message me?

So I came.

Oh, every other time I've messaged you.

Oh. Called you or DM'd you over the past.

I don't really know how many months...

Dad is missing Cody!

He could be dead. For all we know.

You didn't even.

Do you have to do this right now.

Hey, young fella, why don't you come

with me and let these two catch up?

You ever seen a Chupacabra?

I got a stuffed one.

You are kidding, right?

So it's a lot to take in, isn't it?

I mean, mom being a vampire slayer.

You don't get to talk about her.

You just took off

right when she got really sick.

You shut me out.

You didn't even care when dad went missing.

And you act as if you didn't.

You haven't changed one bit.

Yeah, well, I wish I could say the same of you.

Meaning what?

We were always so close.

I mean, we are twins. Even when we were at different

universities, we were still close.

So what happened?

Things got tough. And you thought, screw it.

I'm done with this family.

That's not what happened.

Oh, yeah.

Well, then, please fill me in.

Because to me, it just looks like what?

You've been laying on beaches, drinking away your inheritance.

I have been at home worried sick about Dad

and I...

I was the one that had to look after him.

You know, after mom was gone. Not you.

So to me, it just looks like you have

become nothing more than a selfish coward.

Stop.

You know, you're right about one thing, Carrie.

I have changed.

Totally wrong about me leaving.

I didn't just take off because things got tough.

It's not what happened at all.

Oh, really?

So what did happen then?

You know what?

I'm just not in the mood.

For your excuses right now.

Why did you hide this from us?

For your own good.

So with your power

being all stealthy and creepy in the shadows.

Something like that.

Fixed you a dinner, kiddo!

Yeah. Sorry.

I kind of lost my appetite.

I can imagine. Big day.

Especially with your brother showing up.

You going somewhere?

I don't know maybe I'll fall off the grid for a few years.

Oh, well,

before you do that,

I really like you two considering hanging out for

a couple of days.

Some stuff to discuss.

Some of it's pretty important and pretty deep.

Don't worry I am sure Cody will fill me in.

He's great at taking responsibility.

We can choose our friends, but we can't choose our family.

So what about you?

You got any other family besides us?

Wife? Kids.

Oh, I've been married more than once.

Last time was the sweetest.

Had a wife back in Frisco in the late 1960s.

Cool town back then.

Groovy scene.

You know, I've been around for a long time,

but those were the happiest years of my life.

Right.

In 1960s, I would make you work, like, 80 something

That can't be right.

Oh, you know, Isabella.

She also makes this amazing moisturizer.

All natural ingredients.

So I'll have her get you some.

You remind me of my wife.

When she was younger,

she'd get all laser focused,

so set on her goals that nothing else mattered.

You know, people get so bent on

just looking at one thing in a situation or

one thing in a person,

and everything else just doesn't matter.

And they don't acknowledge the things that really matter.

Give them a chance, Caroline.

He's hurting to.

See you eavesdropping on us.

Super hearing is one of my powers.

But you and your brother are incredibly loud.

I bet you also get that from your mother.

No doubt.

And hey, besides me,

your brother's the only family you got around here.

Till we find your old man. Of course.

Do you think we will find him?

I don't know,

Caroline, but we're sure as hell going to try.

Try to get some sleep. All right.

Uncle Abe.

Sorry. Where's your wife now?

If it's not prying too much.

Another story for another day.

San Francisco in the late sixties, huh?

Must have been trippy.

Also, it kind of explains your

clothing and the decor in your study.

I'm sure it does kiddo.

Good night! Good night!

I think that Elena chick's got eyes for you.

Did you see her at dinner?

It's been tough, though.

I'll say that

could fight her way out of a dinner.

Jackals that one.

And man

your sister's all grown up now, too.

Nothing like.

That skinny.

Little girl I remember back in the neighborhood.

Man, she turned out nice.

Don't even think about it.

What?

No, nothing like that. Jeez!

I know how your mind works.

I've spent the last 11 months of you watching

hit on anything with a pulse.

Besides, never mind.

Let's just try and get some sleep, please.

Whatever you say, bro.

Thank you, Lena.

Good night dear!

Dana, she's really coming alone. Yes.

She will be an excellent witch when I am gone.

You're worried I can tell.

How.

You always play that when you're anxious.

Actually, you may know this.

Is there any record of a sentinel displaying

powers as quickly strongly as Caroline did today?

I cannot think of any.

Not that I've read.

Even her mother wasn't so skillful.

Skillful?

At this rate, she's going to put herself into a coma by

tomorrow's lunchtime.

That's what I'm worried about.

Also, I'm fairly certain Alan Powell is not going to be found

alive and have the heart to tell his kids.

Poor cat.

I always liked him.

You're afraid

that they will get drawn to her, to her power.

This house is shielded with many spells.

In all our time here, none of them has come upon us.

Well, somehow they found Alan.

There's no doubt in my mind.

And he wasn't even a sentinel.

We do not know if that is what happened to him.

It could just be... What?

His rented cars crashed into the tree.

What Isabella?

You think it was just a simple road accident?

Alan Powell.

He may not have been a Van Helsing

by blood, but he was still one of us.

And what happened to him, huh?

He didn't just wander off into the forest.

Something evil is at play here.

I can feel it as he.

What did you do that for a man?

Just snoring.

How can anyone sleep thru that?

That's why I stopped sharing rooms with you.

Okay.

Now, I can't sleep.

I'm going to the balcony.

Good.

It's not helpful to assume.

I'm just saying all this stuff is happening.

If the seal on or his tomb was broken

God forbid. Why speculate such a thing?

If it was broken, she could be honing in on all of us

right now.

And the three of us are all in the same place, right?

Too much excitement?

Yeah.

That and jet lag.

Here.

This might help.

Thanks.

What is it?

Just try.

What about you?

What's.

What's got you open about this late?

I prefer the night.

It is quiet.

Your sister did not seem very happy to see you.

Yeah, well.

Give her time.

During the night.

As a wound in the heart.

Holy hell.

I knew it.

What's Is going on.

Dam it. it's locked!

What is going on?

Skip.

Just open the door for

Christ's sake.

You can't just leave him - here. - You've got to do something.

Skip!

Oh, for God's

sake, somebody did before the police.

Move aside?

Is it done?

Is it done?

Hello, old friend.

Long time no see.

Get down!

Oh, oh. Oh.

There!

Good as new.

Oh, Dag,

that's some Band-Aid. Thanks

He'll be fine.

None of the residents woke up.

It seems.

Perk of being an old geezer, I guess.

Sleeping through bloodcurdling screaming in the dead of night.

Hey, you want to scream too, bro?

Okay, so who the hell was that guy?

What just happened?

Does anyone know what this is? No.

This is clearly an allure charm.

A medallion used by Eleana.

Used by the tarnished

to take control of the living, to manipulate them

into doing their bidding and to turn them into thralls.

That's right.

Thralls.

Not to be confused with familiars.

Netherworld 101.

Something, even the greenest most by the book

watcher would know.

All I had to do was remove this from his neck and

Mihai morrison,

who would have probably been fine,

could have even called him a cab.

Okay. Probably not.

But still

thralls are not necessarily evil people.

They are most of the time unwitting agents or pawns of

evil. You know that, Elena.

Sorry. He could have been saved.

I know.

I reacted too quickly. I'm sorry.

Abe you have scores of buddies in fights against the tarnished.

Surely you are not.

That was then the old times.

People are going to be

looking for this guy, the police, his family.

We're going to have to, you know, dispose

of the body.

Hold on, partner.

We need to talk.

You know, when my friends back home, asked what I was going

to do on my trip to Romania.

I never.

Less talking, more digging.

Yes, ma'am.

Ready?

What are you doing?

The markings will help us identify who created

the charm and to send that poor mechanic here.

I think I may have an idea of who might be behind this.

Really? Who?

Her! Charming.

Who's this, then?

She looks like a monster.

You're right about that kid.

Whoever drew this took some artistic liberties,

but they captured Bathory as essence pretty damn well.

I'm sorry. Who?

Elizabeth Bathory.

One of the deadliest vampires.

Our bloodline fought to contain her for centuries.

Nigh on, impossible to kill.

I was finally able to seal her away in a crypt.

How she escaped?

I don't know.

She's always been a

she's always been a little vicious, which

would be

so hold on a minute.

You're telling us

that this Bathory character is immortal and she can never die?

Not exactly.

It's just very difficult to knock off

someone like her or I would have done it years ago.

Which demon

Complete psycho, whatever.

Her major malfunction.

She was already plenty evil before she was turned

into a vampire. Very hard to eradicate

a monster like that.

Wow. Yeah, exactly.

I'm terrible on an answer,

the core seal will be broken as well fall.

What you just said.

Where did you hear that, young lady?

Uh, it was in my head

earlier when Cody got here, right before I blacked out. I.

I had, like.

A vision.

Yeah, right.

That.

Anyway, there was this voice,

and she said those words,

sort of chanted them.

To her born and answer the call.

In all our history, no Van Helsing

has ever borne more than one child at a time

until.

It means your training must begin at once.

Tomorrow

there is no time to waste.

I'm afraid

you will have to look past your differences and work together.

We must all work together if we're going to do.

Hang on a second.

I don't even know if I'm on board for all of these

chants and potions or whatever,

but I don't know what my power is.

And to be honest, I don't really care if it means

possessed people sneaking in and trying to kill

us all in our sleep and no thank you.

I'm opting out.

All right, Carrie, just take it easy.

At least keep an open mind.

Caroline, your dad's missing.

Doesn't bode well for the rest of us.

And your mother? What?

My mother wouldn't want me dead.

Look, I don't know what to believe, okay?

But whatever this is, I can't be a part of it.

Carrie.

No, I don't want to hear any more out of you, okay?

I'm sorry. I.

Carolyn.

It's okay be cool.

You stay away from me.

Caroline Don't let her leave, kids.

Trust me.
