[Vanessa] Previously onVan Helsing.

The Dark One is through there, find her, destroy the path.

[both grunt]

-[Jack] Where the hell are we? -[Florian] Transylvania.

The mysterious young woman claims to be a vampire hunter.

We must discover who this woman is.

[Dalibor] Behold, Olivia Von Dracula.

[Jack] Now I know why my mother sent me here.

The Dark One ends now!

[crowd screaming]

-[squelches] -[gasps]

[Sorina] No!

[crowd shouting]

-[man 1] Kill the witch! -[man 2] Murderer!

-[crowd clamoring] -[man 2] Murderer!

-[man 1] Kill the witch! -[man 2] Kill her!

[crowd shouting]

[ominous music]

Stay back!

[Rasto] Go!

See what you did? Look at that!

I should let them have you.

[crowd clamoring]

-Kill the witch! -Burn her!

[Jack] I saved them from an evil they didn't see.

Who is this assassin? The other vampire hunter?

The villager, Florian, believes she emerged from the graveyard.

Like a phantom bathed in magic light.

Florian! Florian, you have to kill Michaela!

-Florian, you have to kill Michaela! -[Rasto] Take her! Take her!

Michaela?

How could she know?

-[man] Hang, you stupid witch! -Florian, please!

Florian! She's gonna try again! She's gonna choose somebody else!

What does she mean, "try again"?

-Try what? -I do not know.

This curious stranger will not live for us to find out.

Florian! She's a vampire!

She's gonna choose somebody else.

You murdered their hope and you broke my master's heart.

-Florian! Please! -You deserve this!

-You deserve it! -Florian! She's a vampire!

[Jack] Florian, please!

-Death to the witch! Kill her! -Florian!

[crowd clamoring]

[suspenseful music]

Yeah! Die, witch!

[rope creaks]

[crowd cheering]

[shouts]

[rope creaking]

[theme music]

[Michaela] We must act quickly. The full moon approaches.

Begin the preparations.

But with the vessel dead and gone, how will we prevail?

Life and death are mere obstacles on my path to greatness.

But, Mother, we searched centuries for a woman pure of heart and soul,

worthy of corruption by the Dark One--

[Michaela] There's still a way, an ancient way seeped in darkness.

Sisters, gather fresh blood, and in abundance.

[Tattiana] But the villagers, we were only taking them one at a time.

There is no time for discretion.

Go.

And you, find where they buried

that piece of filth that dared stand in my way.

[Alexandra] I know where.

[Michaela] You better be sure.

She carried the mark of bewitchment.

Someone sent her here to thwart me.

Who?

Why?

Bring that wretched body to me so that I might study the mark.

Go!

And, sisters,

sever her head from her body as soon as she is out of her grave.

We can take no more chances.

[foreboding music]

[Dalibor] I have avenged your death, my love.

That assassin...

festers now

in unsanctified ground,

where she shall never find any peace.

[Michaela] It is time to prepare the body.

[foreboding music]

[Dalibor] Prepare?

[Michaela] For the funeral.

Men do not know of these practices and should not.

You must go.

Who are you?

Really?

I saw you!

Saw me?

[exhales]

The true me?

Yes.

Ah... [laughing]

But you must have had some idea of my powers.

What I called upon to deliver you a son?

You used tinctures.

Yes, hand-crafted myself.

So many innocent lives sacrificed, their blood boiled down to its essence

and fed one drop at a time to the Countess,

to spark life in a dead womb.

You killed those missing villagers.

At your command.

-You wanted a son! -No.

You told me you did not care at what cost.

No, I-- I never knew. I-- I did not know.

-Did you not? -No.

Not even in the depths of your soul?

Ah, yes. My accomplice after all.

[sighs]

[laughs]

[rasping]

-[thuds] -[sighs]

[thunder rumbling]

[Tattiana] Grab her.

[body thuds]

[clinks]

[Tattiana] Hm. This is what the mother fears enough to ask for her head.

[thunder rumbling]

[Tattiana] The axe.

I would simply leave you to rot if it were up to me.

It's not.

[Tattiana groans]

Wait, Alexandra, don't make me kill you.

[hisses]

-Aah! -[body thuds]

[Alexandra groaning]

[Alexandra murmuring, hissing]

[grunts]

[Alexandra retches]

[coughing]

[exhales]

But how?

-Who are you? -Go ask your brother.

Go! Go!

[hissing]

Come closer and say that.

[shouts]

Bathory?

You're alive and you know my name. How is this?

You're not gonna live long enough to find out.

-[thuds] -[Jack grunting]

-Stop! I do not wish to harm you. -[clinks]

Since when?

-[squelches] -[gasping]

[foreboding music]

Witch. Vampire. Speak your truth.

-What other reason have you to try to take my life? -You have no idea.

How is it that you're alive when I saw you hang from the gallows?

I'm pretty tough to keep down.

[Bathory] And you heal.

Damn right, I do.

[both grunting]

You need not kill me! We wish for the same thing.

You're not a vampire.

I would burn myself alive if I were.

-I'm a vampire hunter. -You hunt vampires?

Like my mother before me and her mother before her.

It's what we do.

-Wow. Seriously? -You find this surprising?

You could say that.

You're not a vampire, either.

There are more Sisterhood searching these woods.

It's not safe.

We must go.

Come! We have much to discuss.

[sighs]

I know you're in grief.

Feeling betrayed, as do we all.

[cup clinks]

Thinking her a savior, when she was a demon in disguise.

I should never have believed her.

I should have known she was evil.

Perhaps.

But now, all our worries are over.

She's gone.

And all the curse she brought with her.

-We can live in peace now. -Yeah.

[vampire screeches]

-Come on! Everyone! -[vampire hissing]

Get your weapons to protect the village!

-Florian, come on! -Yes, I'm coming! I'm coming!

[vampire screeches]

[screeching continues]

-[villager shouting] -[vampire screeching]

-[screeching continues] -[people grunting]

[banging on door]

[villager] Get out of the way!

[vampire snarling]

-[sword rasping] -[villager screams]

[vampire screeching]

[snarls, hisses]

-[sword pierces flesh] -[screams]

[body thuds]

[panting]

Alexandra?

How are you... how are you human again?

This strange woman, she rose from her grave and sent me back.

-Jack? -Yes.

-She saved you. -She saved me. My brother...

Are you okay? Are you okay?

[both chuckling]

[insects chirping]

[ominous music]

No, do not touch that. It's dangerous.

Is that you in the painting?

As a kid?

And your mother?

She taught me all I know.

How to hunt vampires, how to kill them.

She was the greatest of my people.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I've lost much in this fight against Michaela and her order.

-She's a tough one to kill. -How would you know?

How are you a part of all of this?

You were never in the cards and now you are everywhere.

[tense music]

Why?

And what do you believe Michaela is trying to do?

Was trying.

Past tense.

Once Michaela is dead too, it's over.

The Dark One never rises. Evil never reigns over anyone.

These readings grow more ominous with every turn.

I do not think we've conquered anything yet.

So, I ask you, once again,

who are you and what do you know about this Dark One?

[indistinct chatter]

-[woman] Here, eat. -Thank you.

You can trust her.

[scoffs]

Yeah?

Why's that?

She wants nothing more than to defeat the Sisterhood

and avenge the death of her mother.

You know, I saw you in the tavern.

-You were spying on me. -We see everything.

Even you eyeing this.

You know of it. What it means.

Where'd you get it?

Who are you really, Jack?

I'm a vampire hunter, like you... and her.

So, where'd you get the amulet?

Bathory.

It belonged to her mother.

Passed down through the family for generations.

You said you know what it means.

What's it for?

I'll leave Bathory to tell you.

It's her legacy.

You need your strength. Eat. Then you must rest.

[tense music]

-[Sorina screams] No! No... -[vampires screeching, hissing]

[speaking Latin]

[speaking Latin continues]

No, no, no! No, please! No, no, please!

Michaela, please! Please! Have pity.

Sorina, how nice of you to come.

Please, spare me. Please.

But you would want to help your mistress, even in death, would you not?

-Yes. Yes. Of course, but-- -Then help her.

[Sorina gagging]

[ominous music]

[indistinct chanting]

[speaks Latin]

Kill them all!

-[vampire screeches] -[people screaming]

[baby crying]

[grunts]

Sorina?

[baby crying]

Sorina.

[baby crying]

-[crying continues] -[woman shushing]

Sorina.

Sorina!

Why won't the baby stop crying, my love?

I... I cannot calm him.

There's... there's such a chill.

Even... even here by the fire.

Why does it not... not warm me?

-[thunder rumbling] -[baby crying]

Hand Christoph to me.

-This is a bad dream. -[shushing]

Remember, you... you are weary.

Rest is what you need.

Hand the child to me.

Please hand the child to me, please.

[baby crying]

When I wake, all will be as it was, yes?

I will be renewed.

[baby crying]

[tense music]

[speaking Latin]

[approaching footsteps]

[ominous music]

You dare spy on your mother?

[vampire] I came to tell you,

Tattiana and Alexandra never returned, and a grave stands empty in the field.

She still lives.

-Find the woman they hanged. Kill her! -[gasps]

[vampire gasps]

[Dalibor] My wife.

What have you done?

She was dead and now she lives.

You are a witch.

A witch!

Evil masquerading as a nun.

I will burn you at the stake.

You will do nothing.

You brought your evil to my village.

To my castle, to my family!

Do not act pure of heart.

I know what you have done in battle, dear Dalibor.

In the name of peace and harmony, you have spilled just as much blood as I.

It was you who invited me into your home.

It was me who gave you a family.

A mistake that I will rectify this day.

I can only tolerate this insolence so long before I...

Before what?

Before my Sisterhood murders

each and every one of the peasants in your village.

I know all too well how much you care for them.

Sickening how you dote on such worthless sheep.

You and your bride.

I only wanted to make her happy.

I wanted to give her what she wanted most in this world,

but not-- not for this price!

It's far too late for that, Count Dalibor.

This is the fate you have made, willingly or not.

Keep her safe from prying eyes.

Your people already fear what they do not understand.

Were they to see Olivia now,

it would be her swinging from the gallows next.

[gasps]

[disembodied voices]

-[screams] -[gasps]

What is that? What is happening?

-[woman in distance] No! Stop! -Who is that?

Who is there? [gasps]

-[voices whispering] -[clattering]

[gasps]

[disembodied voice] Let me in. Let me be with you.

[screams]

[gasps]

[pants]

What...

[tense music]

[sobbing]

[sobbing continues]

[suspenseful music]

-Dalibor! -[man] Hey!

Sorina!

[pants] Ah...

Michaela?

Hello?

Dalibor?

[Olivia gasps]

[tense music]

[Olivia] No.

-[coffin creaks open] -[groaning]

[screaming]

[tense music]

[panting]

-[Dalibor] Come with me. -[gasps]

Now.

You must not be here. No one can see you like this.

[Olivia] What has become of me, Dalibor?

The light inside me is dying.

How will I get it back?

Dalibor...

[suspenseful music]

[music fades]

-[dog barking] -[bird screeches]

[Bathory] Jack.

-What is it? -We must talk.

Is something wrong?

[Bathory] My people, they are brave.

They would march into hell itself if I asked them to.

But I cannot ask them to do this.

It's vital that I leave this place before more lives are lost.

You're running away?

I thought you called yourself a vampire hunter.

I am also the leader of my people. I have them to think of as well.

That's bullshit! You're scared!

I'm terrified!

-As you should be! -I am scared, too.

But there's a big difference between being scared and just running away.

Look, sometimes you have to stand up and fight.

Sometimes you have to face the truth.

My mother, she gathered knowledge of the darkness.

Tapped into it. Into its power and magic.

She was trying to fight darkness with darkness.

-Yeah, and you lost her in the battle. -[Bathory] Worse.

One day the darkness entered her soul and it could not be removed.

She lost herself.

She became vicious and violent.

Her death was not a peaceful one.

My mother's in the battle, too.

And you lost her.

But I'll get her back.

We can't all return from the grave, and I have read my fortune.

There is nothing but darkness here for me if we do this.

The future can change, Bathory. That's why I'm here.

Together we can stop the rise of the Dark One.

There's no way we can storm that castle and get anywhere near Michaela.

There's no future in a death wish.

I'm sorry, Jack. I will not end as my mother did.

[tense music]

This is where you must stay.

-You will be safe here. -But what about the baby?

-I must take care of him. -No.

No, I will care and protect Christoph with my life if it comes to that.

But...

But what of me?

Will you still be my protector?

My love?

We said that we would be in each other's hearts forever,

until death.

Is that not still so?

Your heart no longer beats.

I feel nothing.

I am sorry for everything, but you are not what you were.

-You-- you know this to be true. -My beloved Dalibor.

[door squeaks, slams]

[door lock clicks]

[retreating footsteps]

[screams]

[screaming continues]

[banging on door]

[banging continues]

[Florian] Who is it?

Speak up! Who is it?

[Jack] It's me.

-Jack. -[door opens]

Close the door before somebody sees me.

I'm not in the mood to be hanged again.

[sword clanks]

-Hey. -Hey.

I lied to you.

-I get it. -You killed Olivia.

Even when you said you would not.

I had no choice.

So you say.

But still, I...

I thank you for what you did.

What I did?

Hello, again.

Your sister.

Right.

I'm sorry, it's just...

there's been a lot going on.

Where have you been?

On a wild goose chase. I thought I found us an ally, but...

-Wait. -What is it?

Why were you digging me up in the first place?

Michaela told us to.

She wanted to see that marking on your arm.

She...

she told us to take your head.

-We've got to go. -Now?

The vampires attacked us all last night!

The Sisterhood's been attacking the village?

Yes. Yes, they are gathering more blood.

As much as we could find, as fast as we could find it.

-For what? -The resurrection of Olivia.

[foreboding music]

[sighs]

-When is the full moon? -Tonight.

Alexandra, I really need you

-to come with me. -No, no, no.

We need to stay here and defend the village!

I know I betrayed your trust, Florian, but I really need her help.

-For what? -Florian, we have to try.

Let's go.

[suspenseful music]

[Bathory] We must be out of this forest by nightfall.

I will do as you ask. But are you certain we can do no more?

[Jack] Bathory!

-Bathory! Hey, wait. -I already gave you my answer.

Michaela's gonna try and raise the Dark One tonight.

-How could you know this? -Because of her.

She was one of them. Turned vampire and in the Sisterhood.

-But she's human. -Yes, Jack turned me back with a bite.

It is true, I was one of those monsters,

but now I'm not.

And you think you can turn Michaela as well?

-You're insane. -Don't get me wrong,

I'll kill her if I have the chance, but either way, the Dark One stays lost.

Like I said, we can't get anywhere near her in that castle.

How do you expect to get close enough to bite her?

With this.

[foreboding music]

[Jack] We have until the full moon rises.

Don't you think you owe it to your mother to at least try?

Mm-hmm.

[suspenseful music]

[Bathory] This place is as good as any to lay in wait.

You said the marking on your arm will lure her.

-How? -Like this.

[Jack groans]

[groaning continues]

Jack, what is this?

[Jack panting]

-I don't trust this evil. -[Bathory] No.

We let this unfold.

Jack, come on. Jack!

Big date? Let me guess with who.

Ah...

So, you know how to work the marking on your arm.

I'm a quick study.

There's a lot I know that you might find useful.

-Essential, really. -Like what?

Like why you're gonna fail tonight without my help.

Your help? Why would I possibly need help from you?

Still a couple hours left 'til the full moon.

Let's have it out.

Either I kill you, or you get what you need from me.

I will squeeze the truth from your wretched mouth

before you have a chance to raise your sword.

[chuckles]

Talk's cheap, Michaela. Come find me and say that.

[Jack gasping]

Did you reach her?

Yeah.

-I'm pretty sure she's gonna come. -Go!

[Bathory] Ready yourselves.

-Are you sure? -Yes.

-Go. -Okay.

Wait for my signal.

[suspenseful music]

[Olivia] Dalibor!

Dalibor!

Dali, you cannot leave me in here alone!

Dali!

[sighs]

[breathing heavily]

[baby crying in distance]

Christoph.

Christoph.

No, please. I cannot...

I cannot bear your crying.

[baby crying in distance]

[sobbing] Please.

[gasps]

Please...

Oh, there has...

There has to be...

there has to be a way out of here.

There has to be another way.

[exhales]

[foreboding music]

[sighs]

[mutters]

You should not be here.

[baby crying in distance]

Christoph.

-[screams] -[shatters]

Where are you?

[ominous music]

Bathory, now!

Ah, Bathory.

[Michaela chuckles] Of course.

So, you've linked forces with that filth.

And you thought you could defeat me with her by your side?

Bathory! Now!

[Michaela] How foolish.

You truly believed that she would fight by your side,

for goodness and light, for all of humanity?

You obviously have not known the woman long.

[Jack screams]

[Jack groans]

[laughing]

Now, tell me this vital secret you thought I should know.

Let me whisper it in your ear.

[laughing]

[grunting]

Stop where you are.

-Stop, I say! -[Jack grunting]

Get away from me!

I'd love to, when I'm done!

[both grunting]

[coughing]

[gasps]

I did it.

It's over.

[laughing]

[laughing continues]

No. No. Why aren't you turning?

[laughing]

[Jack] What's happening?

You thought you could beat me with your useless bite.

[gasps]

[panting]

What's happening?

Now you can assist me in raising the Dark One.

No.

-Always room for another sister. -[Jack groaning]

No, no, no!

[gasping]

-[Bathory] No, Jack. -No.

Jack, no.

Get away.

-Jack! Jack, come back! -[Jack panting]

Jack, what was that? What just happened to you?

I don't know, I...

Oh, god.

-Oh, no. -What?

-Why didn't you attack her? -Attack who?

-Shit! She wasn't here? -Here?

-This was all an illusion. Fuck! -What was?

I was trying to trick Michaela, but she tricked me!

[Jack] We have to get to the castle.

There's no time.

Come on. There's no time!

Come on!

They thought they could stop me.

A woman with a marking and a damned Roma?

They will never stop me!

[Michaela] Go, prepare. It's time.

-Father is here. -[Michaela] All will be mine!

-[baby cooing] -Shh.

[approaching footsteps]

[sighs]

[door opens]

My blood no longer flows.

Oh, dearest. Look at you.

And on the most important day of your life.

You no longer own your own destiny.

It is time.

-Time to meet your fate. -No.

-[Olivia] Never. -Yes. Yes, you will.

Dalibor. Rasto.

The Dark Spirit awaits you.

No. No.

You feel that emptiness where your spirit has made way?

Let me fill it for you.

[sighs]

[suspenseful music]

Come, my dear. Your fate awaits you.

[thunder rumbling]

-Shh. All will be well soon. -No, no, no.

Dalibor. My child.

All of that is behind you now.

That life is dead and gone.

[thunder rumbling]

[foreboding music]

Summon the spirit!

[swords rasping]

[Olivia] Why are you doing this?

[vampires snarling]

[Olivia] Someone help me.

[gasps]

No.

-[chanting] -[thunder rumbling]

[chanting continues]

[chanting]

[Olivia screaming]

[Olivia gasping]

[thunder rumbling]

Oh, no.

We're too late.

[tense music]

[panting]

[suspenseful music]

[Michaela laughing]

[Michaela continues laughing]

[closing theme music]
