Original subtitles

Previously on the house of Van Helsing.

I am your very distant uncle

and we both are part of the same bloodline,

like I said before.

The three of us are all Van Helsing's,

but I also am Abraham Van Helsing,

famed hunter of the tarnished,

the Abraham Van Helsing.

And here's the thing,

the thing that makes it all possible,

I'm also part vampire.

I am a hybrid.

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

Really?

Who?

Her.

Elizabeth Bathery.

One of the deadliest vampires.

Of course it was Bathery.

You saw the allure charm.

And I'll tell you something else,

if the seal was broken,

if Bathery has been set loose,

right now she's weak.

That's not gonna last for long.

What have you brought me?

I believe I am ready to upgrade my diet.

Andre, do you know where we can find any children?

Uh-

Andre, bring me the nourishment

I so desperately need and crave.

Yes your Grace, right away.

Let me go to the tomb.

I mean if she had anything to do with my dad's disappearance

but I traveled halfway across the world

because it's what my mom would've wanted.

If this was her duty,

well then it's mine now.

Oh God Cody, that kid has got a

charm around his neck.

We have to follow them.

Is she okay?

She needs time to recover.

She'll be okay eventually.

So it was her?

It was Bathery?

Who was that guy we were fighting?

Must have been her familiar.

Her human helper.

Every vampire needs a familiar

and every familiar needs a vampire.

I'm afraid our Van Helsing clan

has hard work ahead of us once again.

You're pretty sure of this, right?

Well, I can say for sure it's fairly obvious

you'll be able to help in the fight now.

What was that with your hands back there?

I don't know.

It just, it came out of nowhere.

He was trying to get Caroline and I just had to stop him.

Heightened emotions usually enhance our abilities.

Silver lining from this little outing I suppose.

At least now we know you're a wielder

and that's pretty far out man,

because we're dealing here with pure unadulterated evil.

This town is full of creeps.

Sometimes I wonder what would it take

to just eradicate all of them.

More time than you have in your life I'm afraid.

If I only had more time.

You know what I would do right now,

if I did have more time?

I would line them all up this low life dirt box

and I would ask them why they believed they

had the right to do whatever they want with impunity,

with no regard for the law.

And if they had a good answer,

I would hand them over to the prosecutors

to put them on trial.

And if they didn't have a good answer.

And if they didn't have a good answer,

I would smash their skulls in myself

with my trusty equalizer.

Every last one of them.

I wouldn't lose a minute of sleep.

You know why?

Because that my friend is justice.

I don't know if you're just joking,

but maybe you shouldn't be saying such things.

You're still on thin ice with internal affairs.

Now look at this guy crossing the street.

See how jumpy he looks.

I'll bet you anything he's one of our guys.

Car 34.

Be advised, suspect spotted Republic Square

going eastbound on foot from Cocovia.

See, I knew it.

This is Car 34.

We have the suspect in sight

We are initiating pursuit.

Out.

Let's go.

Stop!

Stop police!

Hands against the wall.

You dirty cops.

Repeat.

You dirty cops.

I can give you everything you desire.

Everything.

Hey, I thought you were going to help out with the chores.

Yeah, sorry.

I was-

What is it?

I don't like this.

They've been gone way too long.

We should be out there helping.

How can you help in a situation like this?

You just might be surprised.

I see.

Well then surprise me now and get the chores finished.

I'm sure they'll back soon.

Sorry, I just can't.

Wait, where are you going?

I can't just sit here waiting for them to get back.

I've gotta do something.

Skip out.

But you don't know any-

Hello?

Elana?

We need the mitigating tea some cats glow

and eucalyptus to make up all this.

What happened?

It was her, Bathery.

She's on the loose.

Our worst fears realized.

What happened to Caroline?

Is she okay?

Just about.

It was a close call.

Put on the soup.

She needs to recover.

Where's what's his name?

Drink it, it'll help you.

You just let him leave?

What should I have done?

Tied him to the radiator?

Hope the dumb kid doesn't get himself killed,

but at least the tarnish won't be drawn to him

like Bloodhounds.

How long has she been like this?

An hour, maybe more.

I'll have mother check on her once

she's finished with her invocations.

Yeah, okay.

Thanks Elena.

Caroline is resting now.

How are you doing?

We're just not used to this kind of thing.

It's a lot.

To be honest, it's a lot for all of us.

At least now we know what we're up against.

This Bathery character is absolutely horrible.

You are not wrong.

I'll be right back.

I'll go help Abe.

Good grief.

Scared the crap outta me.

Sorry.

I woke up and I'm guessing everyone else is asleep.

You should be too.

You need your rest.

You probably have a concussion.

Is she okay?

She's had better days.

What were you doing just now?

Were you healing like Isabella?

No, that's Izzy's department.

I was, I call it memory sliding.

What is that?

Like my visions?

Kind of, not really.

Come on, let's get you something to eat,

we'll talk in the kitchen.

Oh.

What the-

What is that?

Who is that?

Let's see what we want here.

What are we doing here?

This doesn't look like any hot spring I've ever seen.

Pretty creepy actually.

We should just get back to the truck.

Oh.

Oh geez.

Oh my God.

God.

Is this Elena's soup?

Yeah, Isabella's recipe.

Hot, good and healing.

We might be needing a lot of it.

Now that we know Bathrey's back,

things are only gonna get tougher I'm afraid.

We're lucky she's not at full strength,

but pretty soon she will be.

What makes you think she's not?

That child.

You don't think she would've fed from a child

if she was at full strength?

I don't think so.

Now Bathery is fully capable of killing

and destroying any one and anything,

but for a weak vampire,

adults are much tougher, much stronger.

Kids are easier to take.

And that man, the one who attacked you,

he was helping her, he was her familiar.

That little boy, he was so scared.

Cody said you saw him in your vision.

I'm sorry you had to witness that.

Listen, we're in more in danger than we anticipated.

Now that Bathrey's on the hunt again,

she'll be looking for us

and anyone who's part of the Van Helsing bloodline.

And I don't mean for feeding

and with all of us together well-

Isn't it better that we're together though?

I mean we can fight her.

We can use our abilities to take her down as a team.

I wish it were so simple.

I do know that having us all under one roof,

it's gonna draw her and the other tarnished much closer.

That's why your mom sent Cody away.

With every life force Bathery consumes,

she grows stronger

and she won't stop killing, that I know.

You're right, we've got to get her before she gets us.

When you say the tarnished,

do you mean like the mechanic

that she used the allure charm on?

Something far more sinister?

As I told you, the tarnished are the entities

of another world in all their various hideous forms.

Demons, witches, vampires, revinants.

And what exactly are revinants?

The dead reanimated by the darkest of black magic.

The undead.

That's a real thing?

The undead?

Only the purest of evil would resort to such a dangerous

practice because it comes at a cost, one's own soul.

Something Bathery frittered away centuries ago.

This all sounds completely terrifying.

I can't lie to you kiddo and say it's not.

Rise, rise, rise.

What was that?

An earthquake?

I wish it was.

Good shot kiddo.

Careful now, don't want to pop a blood vessel,

little brother.

You'll get the hang of it bud.

I hope you're right.

Even though you have special abilities,

they need to be developed, trained.

Babe Ruth didn't just walk up to the plate

and start hitting home runs off the bat.

It takes years of practice and discipline

to achieve greatness, even for those with natural talent.

You'll see, Cody.

Come on, back to work.

You get everything?

Shouldn't Skip be training with us?

We could use another fighter if the demons

of the Netherworld are out there looking for us.

As soon as I know what that kid was doing

over a Bathery's tomb,

he can join us again in our cause.

Till then, it's house choice for him.

He's our friend.

We can trust him.

Yeah, I'm not so sure about that.

Seen plenty of so-called friends turn on me in my time.

Are you finished?

Yeah, just nearly.

Pardon me.

You know that you are not unwelcome here, right?

Really?

It sort of feels that way.

And yet you can leave whenever you like.

Yeah, so Abe has said more than once.

It seems like he's trying to push me out

by keeping me separated from everyone.

I just want to help.

And you are.

How many more days do I have to spend cleaning

soiled sheets before you guys will trust me again?

You could speed up the process just by telling the truth.

The full truth.

Meaning what?

Well, I know that you're not any kind of enemy,

otherwise you would have never been able to pass

through the protective barriers

I put on the house the other night.

You remember when you came back like a thief in the night

with one of our weapons?

But still you will not tell us why you went out there.

I did tell you.

I wanted to see if you guys were okay.

I ended up at Bathery's tomb

because I went to the wrong spot on the map.

I see.

And?

And the tomb was open just like Abe thought.

You felt the disturbance just like we did

all those miles away?

Yeah, yeah.

I told you, I had just exited the tomb

and the ground began rumbling

and the ruins on the door started glowing.

Interesting.

Only a person with special abilities who has studied the

arts or was born to them can see the power of the ruins.

To everyone else it was simply a minor earthquake,

not a rift in the Neatherworld.

We have ways of uncovering who you really are,

but Abraham has decided to let you come to us

on your own accord.

Well, with some coxing from myself of course.

He was ready to use that mace on you himself.

And who knows how long his good mood will hold.

No one will force you to come clean,

but you do have to tell them at some point.

Look, only if we work together with openness and honesty,

can we overcome a like Bathery.

How is she today?

She's sound asleep.

For the last two days now it seems.

I think she's getting worse

Door please.

Isabella said you wanted to see me.

Yeah, I did, come on in.

How's your training going?

Okay.

I think I'm getting pretty good at it as well.

And how's Cody doing?

He's stressing himself out.

I just think he's too caught in his head.

Yeah, the mental side of things.

Actually that's what I want to talk with you about.

Your abilities as they develop have the potential

to be much more than you realize.

Okay, that makes sense,

I mean still learning.

So much I don't understand yet.

What?

Isabella thinks I should teach you how to memory slide.

Ah, okay.

Is there a problem?

We don't know how your abilities

are gonna manifest themselves.

You already seem so much more powerful

than anyone in our history based on what we've seen.

Even your mom,

and boy, she was something.

Hardly call it powerful.

I mean all I've managed to do so far

is pass out from a few visions I've had.

You were somehow able to project yourself into Bathrey's

consciousness to hear that prophecy.

That's big.

And she was nowhere near here.

Yeah, as far as we know.

I mean what if she was just projecting herself into my mind?

I've considered that possibility and its implications.

Even more reason for us to up your mental game

so you can protect yourself.

So that's it.

I can read people's thoughts and feelings

and slide into their memories.

Talk about bringing a knife to a gunfight.

It's hardly gonna be useful in a battle against Bathery

and the tarnished is it?

Don't underestimate the power of the mind.

Knowing the motivations of your foe is extremely important.

Trust me.

Put your hands over mine.

It's all right.

I'm gonna show you one of my past memories

so you can understand how all of it works.

Is something supposed to be happening?

Because all I can feel is-

When I was young,

my brother Andrew tried to teach me archery.

It took me a long time to get the hang of it.

You know he would always say it's in the fingers Abe,

it's in the fingers.

When two are born and answer the call,

the seal will be broken.

The heirs will fall upon the altar,

their blood will revive

and the marked one arises to live and thrive.

Did you see that?

I don't know Isabella,

it was unlike any memory slide I've ever experienced.

It was just so real.

Like Bathery was standing right in front of us.

It was astonishing.

Very peculiar indeed.

Because if she can reach Caroline

and she probably does know where we are,

that mechanic didn't just show up by accident.

He knew where to find us.

He was sent here.

Anything is possible,

but I think it is unlikely.

Let's not get distracted.

We must continue the twins training.

The marked one rises to live and to thrive.

Who is the marked one?

Does that mean anything to you?

I have some ideas.

It could be a trick Bathery's playing to throw us off.

I'll consult the chronicles about this.

This kid, Skip-

You're still sure he's not in league with the tarnished?

He is no enemy.

Not to anyone in this house anyway.

In fact, I suspect quite the opposite.

What do you mean?

He'll tell you himself in time, I'm sure of it.

The marked one rises to live and to thrive.

Okay, now watch.

Wow.

It's gonna be a while before I can do anything like that.

I'm not nearly that steady.

Being able to control your breathing

and remaining steady helps.

But it's also the arrows

that have been enhanced with romantic blessings.

Still though, you're like a regular Catniss Everdeen.

Who?

You're not into-

Nevermind.

Here, take this.

Stand like this.

If I could just figure out my bloody abilities,

I wouldn't need to be so good at weapons.

Your bloody abilities might be helpful in a fight,

but weapons are always necessary.

Just like anyone else,

you can be weak, you can be tired

and your powers will not be effective anymore.

Still I'd be happy if they worked at all right now.

That's one more reason to practice.

Here I'll show you.

Draw the arrow back.

Okay.

Breathe in.

Let it out slowly.

Concentrate on the target.

Here.

Straight like this.

Oh, sorry.

Hey, what's happening?

Oh Abe's just been helping me with my vision

or whatever it is.

Yeah, how's that going?

It's going.

It's interesting anyway.

Certainly nothing like a physical weapons though.

Very elegant weapon, the bow.

Have you shot one before?

No, not to speak of.

We did have archery at camp,

but I was never very interested.

Want me to show you how to use it?

Sure, I can give it a try.

Okay, watch.

You knob the arrow like this,

then draw back.

Keeping your left arm straight.

Bring it back all the way to your cheek.

Right below your eye.

Looking straight at the target and release.

Here, try it.

As I said, knock.

Yes.

Okay.

Straight arm.

Bring it back.

Breathe.

Wow.

How did you do that?

It's all in the fingers.

Don't worry, you'll get it.

I need to double up on practice.

I can't be bested by my sister.

Not when it comes to fighting.

Hello miss.

So sorry, can you please help me?

I think my brake lights are out.

Can you please help me and check it for me?

Sure, I can take a look.

Yeah, thank you very much.

Thank you, ma'am.

Okay, press the brakes.

Yeah, thank you.

Oh!

Andre, my pet, you are serving me well.

You have shown bold loyalty these last few weeks.

You've served me better than any of my other servants.

Don't think I haven't noticed.

You have much to learn,

but I can see that you are an eager student,

innately understanding that knowledge is its own reward.

Come now, I don't wanna leave the undead alone

in the barn for too long.

All we need is for some unsuspecting farm hand

to stumble upon them and cause a ruckus.

Yes, your grace.

Caroline-

Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.

That's all right,

but I'm gonna have to fix that damn floorboard.

Come on in.

I saw you shoot that bow and arrow the other day.

How did you do that?

I don't know.

It was kind of like my hands just knew what to do.

You know?

How taunt to pull the string.

How high to aim the arrow.

Like muscle memory for something

you've never experienced yourself.

Yeah, yeah, it was exactly like that.

Right on.

Time to switch already?

And your lunch.

A bit morally gray perhaps,

but it beat's killing people to survive.

I wanna share something with you.

Are you feeling okay?

You don't think Bathery's gonna just pop up

and scare the bejesus out of us, do you?

Oh, I hope not, but I haven't exactly

got full control over it just yet.

I hear you.

Well, we'll deal with it if she does.

Let's do this.

Ready?

She doesn't have much time left.

I can feel it.

One of the reasons I set this place up

with a lot of help from your dad

is so I could take care of her

and keep an eye on Bathrey's tomb.

The worst part of this life or this half life,

whatever you wanna call it,

is watching the ones you love fade away around you.

If they don't grow old and die,

they are taken from you far too early.

Yeah, I know what that's like.

Let it out slowly and concentrate on the target.

What are they doing to you?

I hope this helps.

It may slow her decline and-

And you said it would help our minds

connecting for the time she has left.

This is gonna make you feel better Joan

and darling I'm right here.

I'm right here.

So all this stuff is protecting her?

Yes.

And what exactly were you doing?
