Original subtitles

[Vanessa] Previously on Van Helsing...

[Vanessa] Olivia, the woman whose body was taken over,

part of her is still in there.

[Jack] And now she's fighting back.

[Bathory] She will never let me go.

Not now. Not ever.

No!

[Jack] The part of her that was in the amulet

just found its way home.

[Vanessa] She's back to her full strength.

[crackling]

[Violet] What the hell are we gonna do now?

[foreboding music]

[thunder rumbling]

[wind whistling]

[thunder rumbling]

[Vanessa] It shouldn't have ended this way.

[Axel] It'll be the end for all of us unless we come up with a better plan.

[Violet] Bathory was the plan. Without her, we can't use the scroll.

[Axel] I told you, we couldn't trust her.

[Jack] This wasn't her fault.

[Violet] Jack, I know you wanted to believe she could be good.

[Jack] She was. Bathory wouldn't have betrayed us.

[Axel] You saw what she did with your own eyes.

-[Vanessa] Maybe she wasn't in control. -[Violet] There's nothing.

[thunder rumbling]

We have to get away from this.

That thing is a connection for the Dark One.

She can still use it.

Or it's our advantage.

[foreboding music]

[opening theme music]

[wind blowing]

-[sizzles] -[Vanessa groans]

Vanessa?

Have you come to beg for mercy?

If not for you, then for your spawn?

If only you knew the truth of who they are.

[Vanessa] Who you are.

[gasps]

-[thunder rumbling] -[exhales]

[as Olivia] What is...

What is happening to me?

[Vanessa] Olivia.

Your fate is in your hands.

I can help you, but I need your help too.

I don't understand.

-What is this? -This place isn't real.

It's just something familiar to keep you off-balance.

But you can break free, just like I did.

No, I have tried to push my way through, but I cannot!

I don't have much time. The only way back is to fight.

Fight? Fight what?

Who are you?

[Vanessa] It's not important who I am.

But you are Olivia and you need to be Olivia again.

My son, Christoph.

-Where is my son? -I will tell you everything.

But first, you must regain control.

When I call for you, be ready.

[sighs]

No.

[thunder rumbling]

[as Dracula] No!

[sighs]

[exhales]

[thunder rumbling]

How?

How are you speaking with her?

She will not aid you.

[grunting]

I cannot be vanquished!

[crackling]

[chuckles]

-[Vanessa exhales] -Vanessa.

[panting]

I'm... I'm okay. I'm okay.

[sighs]

[wind blows]

[Vanessa panting]

The Dark One.

She knows we're still coming for her.

She's gonna see us coming from a mile away

unless we cut that branding out of your arm.

No.

Jack, I can control it.

Trust me.

What about Bathory? And the scroll?

We can still use the scroll.

[Violet] How?

When I brought Bathory back from madness,

I merged my mind with hers.

You know what she knew.

All her mother taught her.

I remember the words.

[sighs] But speaking them made Bathory go insane.

I can resist it.

[Newton] Lannister and his forces have used a state of emergency

to cordon off the White House.

We have a four-block perimeter under our control.

[Violet] And everybody else?

[Newton] Already under curfew. The streets are empty.

[Jack] Should be a straight shot to the treasury building

and that security tunnel.

What about this checkpoint here?

Yeah, capitol police staff the post.

I've been assured they'll let you through, form a rear guard.

[Weathers] What do you need from me and the resistance?

Oh, we got a special mission for you.

What mission?

-We need a new Secret Service. -[clattering]

[Newton] My God.

Mr. President?

Good to see you, Eli.

You too.

[door squeaks]

Should be close to the checkpoint.

Are you sure you don't want a gun or a sword? Something?

-[Vanessa] I don't need them anymore. -[Axel scoffs]

[Vanessa] You don't have to worry.

We don't know how this is gonna shake out.

Who's gonna walk away, who's not.

This isn't goodbye, Axel.

This ain't Dmitri we're going up against.

This isn't an Elder. This isn't even Sam.

And we both know what the Dark One is capable of.

What if she's got an ace up her sleeve?

Well, she does.

But I have two.

[dramatic music]

-[officer] Stop there. -Whoa. Hey, hey, hey.

Identify yourself.

Axel Miller, party of five.

Sergeant Miller, we've been expecting you.

The coast is clear. Let me show you to the tunnel.

-[metal detector beeps] -Oops.

-[metal detector beeps] -[gasps]

[wind blowing]

[Vanessa groans]

What is it?

I'm okay.

-[thunder rumbling] -I sense you,

sweet Vanessa.

You and the others.

[foreboding music]

I feel your danger.

[sighs]

[thunder rumbling]

Mankind was supposed to be mine.

But if I cannot have them,

then neither will you.

-[whooshes] -[explodes]

[all groaning]

[exhales, grunts]

-[alarm buzzing] -[all groaning]

[Jack] Oh, what the hell was that?

[Ivory] Oh, that was evil. It went right through me.

[vampires snarling]

-[Jack] They're vampires! -[growls]

-[vampires snarling] -[Axel grunts]

[Jack screams]

[vampires and Jack grunting]

[Newton groaning]

Hey, Eli. Hey.

-Eli, are you okay? -[Aaron] What's he doing?

-[growling] -[Park] Uh...

-[screaming] -[snarling]

-Shit! -[snarling]

-[alarm buzzing] -[vampires snarling]

-[gunshot] -[thuds]

-[vampire snarling] -[thuds]

[Aaron] We gotta get out! Get out!

[growling]

-[alarm blaring] -[vampire groans]

-[thuds] -[vampire groans]

-[thumps] -[vampire groans]

-[sword swishes] -[gunshot]

-[all grunting] -[thuds]

[gunshot]

-[Aaron grunts] -[vampires snarling]

-[banging on door] -[vampires snarling]

[thuds]

-[Ivory grunts] -[vampire groans]

[thuds]

Keep watching that door. I'm gonna find us another way out!

-[vampires snarling] -[banging on door]

-[thuds] -[vampire groans]

-[thumps] -[vampire groans]

-[thuds] -[vampire groans]

[snarling, groans]

[vampire groans]

-[alarm wailing] -[vampire snarls]

[gunshot]

-[Ivory screams] -[sword pierces flesh]

Something tells me that shockwave turned more than just these cops.

-[Jack] What if this happened to everyone? -[Ivory] It didn't affect us.

Well, everyone here is either a Van Helsing or has been bit by one.

[Violet] I turned President Park and his son but not the others.

Fuck!

-Ivory and I will save the president. -Axel.

The Dark One's for Van Helsings, always was.

Don't worry, this ain't goodbye.

[alarm blaring]

Hmm...

[suspenseful music]

[grunts] Fuck.

-Are they still out there? -[Park] Safe to assume.

Biding their time, trying to come up with a plan.

[grunts]

Look, if it holds, we'll be okay.

-[Park] I like your optimism, son. -No.

Reminds me of your mother.

[Park] She got me through the darkest of times.

Always found the light.

Part of her, of your sister.

They'll always be with us.

It's why we gotta see this through.

[gasps]

Aaron?

Open that door.

-[door opens] -[alarm blaring]

-[Axel] Hold up. -We've gotta save the president.

[Axel] No, we need to make a goddamn plan.

There could be ten, 15 resistance

-on the other side of the door. -I still got my daywalker immunity.

-If they've all turned-- -Just stay behind me.

You don't have to go out in a blaze of glory.

I've seen your plans. A blaze of glory? It's the better choice.

I...

[thunder rumbling]

[Vanessa] It's this way.

I never thought we'd be back here again. With guns.

The most direct route is through the press gallery.

Her security detail are all Delta Force vampires now.

-[thuds] -[vampire snarling]

-An ambush. -Count on it.

-You ready? -You lead. We follow.

[gunfire]

[Delta Force soldier] What's this?

-[bullets ricochet] -[Delta Force soldiers groan]

[suspenseful music]

[groans]

[choking]

[grunts]

[gunshot]

-[screams] -[thuds]

[groans]

-[screams] -[crashes]

[wind blows]

[thunder rumbling]

[Aaron] Dad, you open that door, we're both dead.

[Weathers] No, no, quiet!

You're supposed to be one of us, Weathers.

You don't know what this feels like.

[Park] We both do.

[scoffs]

[vampires snarling faintly]

Believe me, we both do. But you can fight it.

No.

Open that door!

-[Weathers panting] -[Park] Weathers.

This ends badly for you, or maybe for us.

[Weathers groaning]

Unless you help us.

I believe in you.

[Weathers laughing]

I know the good soldier, the good human,

that's still a part of who you are, even now.

[Weather gulps, snarls]

[grunting]

You need to decide.

[grunting]

[Aaron groans]

[snarls]

Come with me.

-[soldiers groan] -[guns clatter]

This ends here and now.

You're with me or you're with her.

Choose.

-[necks snap] -[sighs]

Who has she become?

Who she was always meant to be.

Use your darkness as much as you wish.

-It will only corrupt you... -[thunder rumbling]

...and strengthen me.

[heavy breathing]

[blows air]

[crackling]

[Jack] What do we do now?

[panting]

Where are you taking us, Weathers?

Nice and easy. Nice and easy.

[Aaron] Dad, we can't trust her. She's one of them.

[muttering]

[Aaron] This could be a trap.

[vampire growling in distance]

-[grunts] -[Aaron] Whoa!

[snarls]

Make it count. [growling]

[Park] Come on. Let's go, let's go, let's go!

-[Weathers groaning] -[vampires snarling]

-Biggs, please. -Shut up!

-Biggs, please. -[gunshot]

-[body thuds] -This way! Now! Right now!

[vampires snarling]

Back up.

-Why? -Trust me.

[suspenseful music]

[grunts]

[crackling]

How did she do that?

-I told you, she leveled up. -Oh, yeah.

-Where does it lead? -Hopefully where we need it to.

Come on, let's jump together!

[Vanessa] Wait. The scroll.

[crackling]

[Vanessa] I'll read the words so she can't move.

You bite her as soon as you can.

We only have one chance.

[crackling]

[chanting]

[chanting stops]

You thought you could surprise me.

Say the words, Vanessa.

You wouldn't be the first vampire hunter that I have rendered speechless.

To hell with this!

-[thuds] -[groans]

You thought I wouldn't deduce your clever plan?

I, too, was in Bathory's mind.

I understood the link you formed with her.

[groans]

How you thought you'd be strong enough to enchant me with the scroll.

[Dracula laughs]

[groans]

So much power in an ancient piece of paper.

[laughs] What will you do when I turn it to ash?

[tense music]

[thunder rumbling]

You promised once

that you would murder your children in service to me.

Perhaps now is the time to honor your pledge.

[disembodied voices whispering]

[ominous music]

[disembodied voices whispering]

[mumbles]

[grunts]

[grunts]

[groans]

[grunting]

[Violet groaning]

-[thunder rumbling] -[Jack groans]

The brand works both ways! Use it, Mom!

[grunts] It won't...

[crying]

[disembodied voices whispering]

Mom? [sobs]

[gasps]

[Vanessa] Olivia.

-[Violet grunts] -Olivia!

[gasps]

[panting]

[as Olivia] No.

No more.

[grunting]

[Jack] Remember, Mom!

I won't let you!

Remember, Mom!

[chanting]

[groans]

[chanting]

[screams]

-[Dracula groans] -[chanting]

[chanting continues]

[chanting]

-[growls, screams] -Do it now! Bite her!

[Violet yells]

[as Dracula] That is not my destiny.

But it's ours! Jack, bite her!

Put the darkness in this.

[shrieks]

-[shatters] -[shrieking continues]

[thunder rumbling]

[chanting]

[grunts]

[chanting]

Every step you take, I am one ahead and always will be!

-We can still do this! -How?

[Jack] I bite her, there's no way to trap her darkness!

[Violet] There is! I've done it once before!

So have I! We can't contain it forever!

Either it'll get out or you'll die trying to keep it inside!

If that's what I have to do, I'm willing to do it!

No! Jack's right! This isn't yours to carry.

Yes, it is!

I had a dream about this moment in the Dark Realm.

There's no other path.

You two are the weapons.

I am the vessel.

Do it!

Bite her!

You cannot contain me!

I am immortal! Eternal!

-I will corrupt you like a thousand-- -Shut up! [grunts]

Now!

[screams]

[screams]

[suspenseful music]

-[Aaron pants] Down here! -[vampires snarling]

-[Axel] Oh. Up the stairs. Let's go! -[Park] Up!

-[Aaron] Wait, wait, wait! -[gunshots]

-Blaze of glory? -Blaze of glory.

-[door opens] -[vampires snarling]

[vampires groaning]

[Park] What's happening?

[panting]

[birds chirping]

Well, what do you know? [pants]

The light at the end of the tunnel.

[light music]

What's going on?

-[coughs] -[groans]

[grunts]

Mom?

[Jack] Mom?

[Olivia] Jack.

Jack.

Olivia.

What ha... happened? Is the Dark One...

[Jack] Out of you.

You're safe now.

[chuckles] How?

[exhales]

[Violet] Mom?

The Dark One?

It's inside me.

But not in control.

We'll find another vessel.

We'll find an amulet. A relic. Something.

This is the only way now.

You're safe. [chuckles]

It should have been me.

-[grunts] -[Violet sniffles]

It... had to be me.

Don't go.

[groans]

I'll always be with you.

Don't be... afraid.

[sobs]

[dramatic music]

[Park] Our great tragedy is finally at an end,

but there is still more work to be done.

We have been reborn...

as a nation and as a people.

It is our sacred duty now

to make America a beacon of light once more.

We shall chase the shadows from every doorway,

fill our people with a new sense of hope and purpose.

Evil must never reign again.

-[camera shutter clicks] -And as your president,

I swear, with every fiber of my being,

we will rise from this great tragedy with strength,

with ambition,

and with courage.

Because that is our destiny.

Speaking of courage,

there's one more thing.

Sergeant Miller,

please step forward.

[Park] Come on up here.

[Axel clears throat]

Despite all odds, faced with insurmountable obstacles,

Sergeant Miller stayed true to his duty.

If it was not for his heroism, my son and I would not be here.

Maybe our salvation would never have been achieved.

And for that...

[soft music]

Congratulations, Sergeant.

And thank you.

[all applauding]

If there's anything I can do for you,

anything you need, anything, you let me know.

[clears throat]

Actually, sir, there is one thing.

[indistinct chatter]

[car horn honks]

[Jack] I don't understand. We did it.

The Dark One's gone, the vampires gone with her.

We can start to live again. We can have a future!

You know that I want that.

I mean, you must know that that's what I want.

But these visions that I have in my head, and the voices...

it's something that I never really fully understood until now.

The Sisterhood.

I mean, I always knew that there were others.

Michaela traveled the world,

spreading her darkness for hundreds of years.

Even if that were true, they're no longer under her power.

They're probably back to being human again.

We don't know that.

I mean, we don't know if all the vampires turned back.

The spell that the Dark One cast

that turned all those humans into vampires without a bite,

that was undone with her death, but beyond the wall...

the others?

They need me.

[somber music]

I'll go with you.

We can fight together.

Jack.

I gotta go do this alone.

I swore a sacred vow.

Vampire or human, I have to honor it now.

Then I guess this is goodbye.

[sniffles]

You know, when I was rescued from the darkness,

and I stepped into the light,

that's when I found you.

The way that I feel about you,

it's never gonna change.

I don't wanna lose you too.

[crying]

[Ivory] I promise,

I'll return.

Okay?

I'll be here as long as it takes.

[Ivory sobs]

[gasps]

[sobs]

-[wind blows] -[eagle screeches]

[woman] Are you sure about this? Might still be vampires out there.

Might be.

[woman] And even if there aren't,

there were bad people before the apocalypse.

There'll still be bad people now.

Well, the world doesn't just fix itself

because we took down the Dark One.

Somebody's gotta make it right.

[woman] And that someone's you?

For a coyote, you've got a lot of attitude.

Who are you?

My name is Callie.

See you down the road.

[eagle screeches]

[foreboding music]

It's gonna take some time.

How long?

How long has it been?

Hundreds of years.

Hundreds of years.

[dramatic music]

My Christoph.

What of my son?

He was saved...

when you were taken over by the Dark One.

[sobs] What became of him?

Was... was he loved?

-Did he-- -He lived.

I'll show you. Come.

[sighs]

[chuckles]

[Violet] Here. In the book.

This is him.

He lived a full and happy life.

Had children of his own, started a family legacy.

[Olivia sobs]

[Jack] He was the first of us.

My namesake. Jack Van Helsing.

[Olivia gasps]

You mean to say that my son is your ancestor?

Yeah. Which means you are, too.

It's the piece the Dark One never figured out.

All she did back then, all the suffering she caused,

it all sowed the seeds for her own downfall.

She created the Van Helsings and she didn't even know it.

Thank you both.

Thank you for saving me.

[Axel] Well, I guess I always knew it'd end up like this.

Sometimes you think a road is straight, you know?

Turns out it's just winding its way around in a big, old circle.

Right back to the beginning.

Never really knew where this journey was gonna take me,

but I was always sure of one thing.

Wherever you went,

I was going, too.

I didn't give up on you then...

and I ain't giving up on you now, sleeping beauty.

[dreamy music]

[clock ticking]

[tranquil music]

[door opens]

[Vanessa] Who's there?

[Susan] It's okay. I didn't mean to scare you.

Susan.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

Waiting for you.

Where are we?

Don't you recognize it?

I know we're in my apartment, but...

She's waiting for you, too.

Dylan.

Hi, Mom.

[exhales]

[Vanessa exhales, gasps]

[gasps]

Look at you.

You're so grown up.

This is who I am.

This is what I would have been.

[sighs]

Is this an illusion?

Am I back in the Dark Realm?

-What's the Dark Realm? -None of this is real.

You, Susan.

It's as real as you want it to be.

I missed you, Mom.

[cries]

I missed you. I missed you so much, baby.

[sobs] I missed you so much. [sighs]

[Vanessa's voice] Even in darkness, there are stars to guide you.

Never lose hope.

Keep faith in yourself.

May you always find your way,

because you are the light.

[tranquil music]
