Previously on Van Helsing...

Excuse me. Excuse me, what the hell's going on?

Daddy!

Denver. I think it's a safe zone.

This place was supplying the city

with some kind of drug that they made here.

Doc. I need you to guard this with your life.

- What is it? - Patient zero.

- You gave her blood from the vial? - Oh shit.

- What's the B'ah? - Not what but who.

I will show you.

This is a reverie created by another elder.

Why?

So I could learn how to destroy you.

Only light can drive out darkness.

Only the blood of the B'ah can stop the poison.

She's trying to get out of China.

Some place safer so she can return and hunt again in my time.

There is a freighter leaving this evening.

Headed where?

San Francisco.

Did you see it? The B'ah?

- It's totem? - Not exactly.

But I know where it is.

Oh, an entire city to search.

I mean, I gotta say, as useless as I thought the elder was,

at least it would have got us in the vicinity of the B'ah.

I'm glad it's gone.

The thing kept looking at me like I was lunch.

Yeah, we couldn't trust it.

What if this whole thing is a trap?

Might be.

Still doesn't change the fact that we have to look.

I know. I know.

Kill the elder, destroy the totem.

Every death is a step closer to you know what.

What have we here?

What do you say we have a little look around for supplies?

Axel, we need to keep moving.

Actually we really need to rest.

Yeah, I need some snacks.

Alright.

We'll check for supplies, then we need to move.

Oh.

Definitely have company.

Yeah, I think we're surrounded.

Show yourselves.

- Drop your weapons! - You first!

Not a chance.

Then we have a problem.

We won't if you do as instructed.

- You don't wanna mess with me, kid. - She's right, boys.

Save your bullets for the bad guys.

- What do you want us to do? - Hold your ground.

They don't look like vampires.

Everybody stop talking!

You should listen to your friend.

Jesus.

Woah, woah, woah!

You're a lousy shot, kid.

Holy shit.

You're her.

Next.

Name?

Uh, Sarah Carol.

Number?

It's on your shirt. I ain't got all day.

4478.

Now that you're out of quarantine

you're being integrated back into society.

In this envelope you will find the address and keys

to your living quarters.

You're also being allotted credit stamps.

It's our currency here.

It works just like cash did back in the day.

It's up to you to choose how to spend them

but know that the only way to earn more

is to contribute.

There's no hand outs here.

Don't like it, you're free to leave.

Any questions?

When you say contribute, what do you mean?

It means get a job.

Wait here.

Here are your weapons that were confiscated.

We get them back just like that?

This is still America.

Recommended to be armed even in safe zones.

Comforting.

Pardon me?

Nothing, sir.

Follow the hallway down to the exit.

Coming out!

Welcome to Denver.

Next.

Name?

What happened to Callie, Jesse and McGrath?

Um, they were released earlier

and assigned to a different sector.

Huh. So much for goodbyes.

Is it just me or does it seem... normal?

- What's normal now? - Not us.

Speak for yourselves.

I was never a vampire.

Alright, who wants to see where we're living?

Yeah.

I'm in building 6.

Building 2.

- Me too. - Oh, really?

Oh yeah. Hey, we're roomies.

Ok.

Is that ok? I mean...

No. No, it's good. It's good.

It'll be great.

Um, should we go see where we're living?

Uh, eenie meenie minie...

- Mo? - Yes.

- Bye. - See you guys.

See you around.

Huh. Look at that.

We're roomies.

The nightmare continues.

So what're your names?

I'm private Patterson.

That's private Raskin and private Mendoza.

Where's your sergeant?

Dead. I think.

About a week ago he took first watch.

We woke up to screaming.

They... whatever they were, they came from above.

From everywhere.

Nothing like I've ever seen before.

They looked like ancient warriors or something.

Between the gunfire and the dark we couldn't see shit.

They took three of our guys that night.

A few days later a couple more.

No bodies.

Just gone.

There are other men?

- Where's your base at? - Fallen.

As far as we know we're all that's left.

You military?

Marines, first division.

You seen action?

Tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.

We've all seen action in this shit.

How long have you guys been here?

We were barely out of basic training

when the rising happened.

Our company was stationed here.

A few months back it was... it was a safe place.

We had everything we needed.

Food, supplies.

And then suddenly it all changed.

We don't know how they got in.

It spread so fast.

If the city was overrun why are you guys still here?

Leave no man behind.

We were doing regular sweeps during the day

trying to find survivors and then we lost communication

with our patrol and now we're doing sweeps

hoping to find them.

We hear a lot of stories about you.

Are you here to save us?

I don't know what you've heard but I'm no saviour.

We saw you heal so it's all true.

We're here on other business.

Maybe we can help you?

- We have our own mission. - What...

That's an order.

He's right.

Let me talk to them for a sec.

They're just kids.

I know.

We can't leave them here.

They can't come with us.

So why don't you go with them?

- Go help them find their friends. - Say what?

I know that's what you wanna do.

We'll go kill the elder and you go help them find their friends

and we'll meet for drinks after.

- That is not happening. - Axel, she's right.

They need you so much more than we do.

Your mission to protect me is over.

End of discussion.

Ok guys.

Here's the deal.

We're gonna leave Axel with you

He's gonna help you track down the rest of your squad.

We can't promise...

Home sweet home.

It's not so bad.

Not so good, either.

Right.

Beats a leaky triage.

You know, I was lying in bed wondering

if that stupid airplane was gonna fall on my head.

Yeah, me too.

I would... oh, the rats.

Oh my god, they were big as dogs.

- One bed? - Yeah. Looks like it.

Um, I'll take the couch.

- No, no, god no. - You sure?

Oh yeah.

Home sweet home.

Right.

Yeah. Home sweet home.

I gotta admit it feels pretty good to be back in uniform.

Don't go getting yourself killed trying to save the world.

Saving the world is your job.

You be careful out there.

Yeah, back at you, army man.

Marine.

Yeah, whatever.

I gotta say you do look damn good in that uniform.

Oh yeah?

You look pretty good in yours, too.

I know.

Regulators, let's man up.

I always wanted to say that.

Hey, Flesh?

What is this thing?

Flesh?

Flesh, you ok?

I'm not sleeping in there.

Yeah, sure.

You... you can take that room.

Are you alright?

You're so stupid. You're the last person in the world

that I wanna be spending time with.

I'm sorry, Flesh. I just wanna...

Don't call me that!

Just stop calling me that, alright?!

That's... that's the name that you gave me after you turned me.

I'm not your boy anymore.

My name's Phil.

Phil Fleichman.

You're Phil.

Phil Fleichman.

I hope Axel's alright.

Those soldiers seemed pretty rattled.

Can't have any distractions when we fight the B'ah.

Who's distracted?

I need you to stay focused.

Forgive me for giving a shit about somebody.

Look, when I was searching for Dylan

my decisions were clouded by my love for her

and I don't want that to happen to you.

Love? Ok, you can relax on the L-word.

We hooked up, ok? One time.

You know what I mean.

I actually don't know what you mean

because you never talk about her.

I wouldn't have even known Dylan existed

if someone else hadn't have brought her up.

Come on, tell me, what was she like?

Come on, she was my family, too.

She was beautiful.

So smart.

Kind.

She had this laugh.

I really wish I could have met her.

Me too.

- You see that? - Yeah, what is that?

You think we can trust him?

I barely trust you and you're my sister.

That's fair.

Shit.

Cute pyjamas.

I fought vampires like these in China.

They're nothing like you've encountered before.

Alright. They're still gonna die by my blade.

That's all I care about.

That is new.

Keep your eyes on them. They're quick.

Yeah, well so am I.

Let's dance.

I had that.

My turn.

Bitch!

He's just been buried!

Aaargh!!!!

Who are you?

I am the Burier!

Aaargh!!!!

But you can call me Barry.

There's a group of us holed up down the road.

We were out on a supply salvage

when those things cornered us.

- How many of you are there? - 14.

Used to be a lot more but littl by little we got picked off.

You in charge?

In charge of what?

The closest thing we got to leadership is Mary Beth.

But it ain't like any of us is trained in dealing with this shit.

What're you doing here, anyway?

Looking for a vampire.

To kill it.

You actually came here looking for a fight?

I don't know if that's brave or crazy.

Pretty much both.

Are you ok?

Yeah.

Get off of me! Get off of me!

Get off of me!

Get off of me!

You gotta stop doing that.

They're gonna find out I'm not really a nurse.

Not unless you tell them.

Besides, you were more or less a nurse at triage.

A labradoodle could have been a nurse at triage.

Holding people down during amputations and standing guard during...

night watch wasn't exactly medical training.

Ok, just be cool.

Sarah and Jolene?

Yes. Sarah.

- Jolene. - Come with me.

We obviously have no way of checking credentials

so we pretty much go with your word.

We're always looking for people with hospital experience.

Basically you kill someone and you're fired.

- Got it. - Don't kill anyone.

- You say you were an RN? - Yes, I was.

What's the most effective way to measure a patient's temperature?

- Um, it's uh... rectally. - Good enough.

Dr. Carol, it says here you have a background in hematology?

Yes, that was my main focus.

You'll find here you'll be bouncing around a lot,

everyone kinda needs to be a jack of all trades at times.

I hope you're ok with that?

Yes, as long as I have access to a lab.

Yeah, there's one one level down.

It's not top of the line but it's good enough.

Brown outs.

Happens all the time.

With the influx of new people

our grid hasn't been able to handle it.

Welcome to the work force.

That was easier than medical school.

Come on.

Oh, come on. You know you wanna.

This is it.

If you wanna just hang back for a minute,

I'm gonna go grab Mary Beth.

Put this with the rest of them.

Mary Beth?

Hello.

Who's this?

This is Vanessa and her sister, Charlotte.

- Scarlett. - Apologies. Scarlett.

It's a pleasure.

They saved us.

Well, thank you for that.

And then I saved them.

Well done, Barry.

Dre says you're the one in charge.

Hardly.

I was the weather anchor before this,

Channel 5 News.

Things fell apart about three weeks back.

I don't know. I guess because people recognize me from TV they...

they look to me for leadership.

We're doing the best we can.

Figured you guys could use this.

Thanks.

So what brings you to San Francisco?

Most people avoid the coast in search of higher ground.

We're looking for a vampire.

We've got lots of those lately.

What happened out here?

Everything was fine for a while.

The military, what was left of it at least,

they were creating a safe zone down around Fisherman's Wharf.

The plan was to secure San Francisco, Oakland next.

I'd have believed that when I saw it.

And then they just appeared.

Yeah, those vampires.

The flippy ones.

They came out of nowhere.

Military couldn't do a goddamn thing.

Dozens of people were wiped out.

They were already inside the perimeter somehow.

You said this started about three weeks ago?

I think that the elder tricked me.

When it sent me to China it knew that the B'ah would be awoken.

The elder couldn't kill us but the B'ah could.

You can't blame yourself for that.

You couldn't have known.

Maybe.

You look like shit.

Thank you very much.

That's really nice.

Oh!

Help me out.

Put her down.

What's wrong with her?

Oh my god, what is that?

She's been poisoned.

Is it bad?

If I don't find the vampire who did this to her

and feed her its blood, she'll die.

Yeah, that's bad.

You said the vampires were already inside the perimeter?

Do you know where the attacks originated?

A warehouse down by the docks.

Barry worked the wharf.

Can you take me there?

You bet.

Go get that kit.

Ok, I'm here. It's ok.

The stairs are starting to make me feel dizzy.

I mean, how many basements can be in one building, anyway?

I thought you said you worked here.

I did, as a busker, not a longshoreman.

I mean, why couldn't we be in a building

with a working elevator, huh?

Maybe let's not announce our arrival.

Wait up for me.

It's pretty simple, really.

Everything comes pre-packaged from the company.

You've given flu shots before, right?

Of course.

Uh, but, you know what?

It's... it's been so long.

Why don't you show me how you do it?

Sure.

Have you had your first shot yet?

It's mandatory, you know.

Nope.

Let me pop your cherry then.

So to speak.

Uh, what is it, exactly?

It's uh, it's a repellant for vampires.

Oh.

What, like um... vampire deet?

Yeah, pretty much.

So first you just gently tap the syringe,

get all the little bubbles out.

Then you wanna stick it in the upper arm.

Push the plunger like that.

Dispose of it in the yellow containers,

and that's that.

And so on and so on.

Any questions?

Nope.

I've seen you before.

- I doubt it. - Nah, I'm pretty good with faces.

Names I can't remember for shit but faces, I...

was it in Seattle?

That's where I'm from, originally.

You uh, do you wanna get a drink later?

Oh, I don't know.

I don't know if my girlfriend would like that.

Girlfriend.

Oh.

Cool. Yeah.

Girlfriend.

Oh, this'll do.

This'll do just fine.

Oh yeah.

Let's see what you're all about.

There, there. Come on now.

You gotta hang in there.

Come on.

You gotta hang in there.

You gotta hang in there.

Woah, don't worry, you're safe.

- You're safe. - What's wrong with me?

You've been bitten by one of those things.

Where is everybody?

Where's Vanessa?

She went after that vampire you're looking for.

- What, the B'ah? - Mmmhmm.

No, no, no, no, no.

It's gonna kill her on her own.

- No, I need to help her. - Hey, easy.

- I need to help her! - Easy, easy!

- Come here. Come here. - Get off.

- No, no, no, no, no. - What you gotta do is come here.

Easy.

Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah.

What you need to do now is stay put.

That's what you need to do.

- Where's Axel? - Axel? Uh...

- Is he with Vanessa? - Yeah.

Is he helping her?

He's with Vanessa, they're meeting up right now,

and everything's gonna be ok.

Shh. There you go.

That's good. Take it easy. Take it easy.

That's it, that's it, that's it.

Everything's gonna be ok.

There you go.

There you go.

This is like searching for a needle in a haystack.

I think we may have found our needle.

I've seen these crates before.

She must have been here waiting this whole time.

And she wasn't alone.

Does this sound weird to you?

Mmm.

It's definitely weird.

But it's good weird, you know?

Like... slightly close to normal.

Like, I don't know whether to run and hide

or jump up and down for joy.

Yeah.

Well, thanks for bringing me lunch.

It was, um, super sweet of you.

Beats burned rodent.

Oh, but I so love burned rodent.

Shit.

So um, first day at work, how did it go?

Oh, right, first day.

Ok, um, well, my new coworker is a super creepy guy named Jared.

Ah.

So nothing has changed, ok.

He asked me out.

- Where are you going? - Very funny.

I told him I had a girlfriend.

You should have seen the look on his face.

It was awesome.

Girlfriend.

It just came out.

It was just, you know, in the moment.

Back off, Jared.

It just came out.

I like you, Sarah.

I wanna be honest about it.

I like you, too.

Seems like people's fuses are getting shorter and shorter around here.

You look lost. You need something?

Yeah, I'm looking for work.

Are you hiring?

You look the part.

Hopefully the part you like.

You'll know if it is.

You're not from around here. I haven't seen you before.

No, this is my first day in Denver.

How's bussing and bouncing sound?

That sounds great.

Perfect.

- I'm Frankie. - I'm Julius.

Welcome aboard, Julius.

Come on, I'll show you around.

So Axel, what was it like serving overseas?

It was sandy.

And hot.

Raskin, now's not the time.

I'm curious.

What it was like.

War is hell, kid.

Ain't nothing sexy about it.

You know what it's like,

hold your buddy's hand while he takes his last breath,

tell him everything's gonna be fine when you know it's not.

But it wasn't like killing vamps.

Yeah, well, vamps, at least you know they're bad guys.

Over there there are no bad guys,

just different points of view.

Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah.

Patterson, you're with me.

Raskin, get our six.

Mendoza, keep it running in case we need to bug out.

Hell of a fire fight here.

This is recent.

Whatever got 'em didn't kill 'em, it took 'em.

We gotta find 'em.

We will.

Hey.

Jolene.

What're you doing here?

I thought you could use this.

Can you believe it?

Coffee.

Hmm?

Thanks.

Is everything ok?

Yep.

I'm just busy.

Was it what happened uh... at lunch?

What?

Oh, that?

No.

'Cause uh, we're just kinda living

in a dangerous time, right?

And uh, tomorrow isn't a guarantee

and I don't wanna leave anything unsaid.

Look, if you're not interested, I understand.

- It's... - No, it's not that.

Well, you kissed me back.

I know.

I'm just... I'm really confused.

- It was too soon. - No.

Maybe.

I don't know.

What's going on?

Just be honest with me.

I have a lot of work to do.

Yeah.

Fine.

Go ahead and shut the door on me, too.

I guess it's what you're good at.

Oh.

Where are you going?

Oh, you aren't ready for this, and I totally understand,

it's my fault for pushing things too fast.

- No, you don't have to do this. - Yes, I do.

No, you don't. I don't want you to go.

Then give me a reason to stay.

Exactly my point.

I'm a virgin.

Pardon?

Really?

Oh, you mean like with women?

Oh.

- Oh my god. - No.

Oh my god.

No, no, no, no, no. It's ok. It's...

- Oh my god. - It's not a big deal.

It's super rare, but it's not a big deal at all,

it's... it's nothing to be ashamed of, it's...

It's so embarrassing.

No.

Oh my god, I'm a freak of nature.

- No, you're not a freak of nature. - Oh my god.

Ok. Ok. Ok. You know what?

I never connected with anyone ever,

so all of this that I'm feeling...

I am scared shitless.

You scare me.

And you're right, I push people away, ok?

I'm not proud of that.

But I have never met anyone that makes me feel

the way how you do and I don't know what to do with that

except ask you to stay so please don't go.

I didn't wanna make you feel anything but happy.

And we can just take it slow.

We can take it as slow as you like.

Ok.

I'm so sorry.

- I'm sorry. - No.

- I'm sorry. - It's ok.

Hands on a swivel, boys.

Oh shit.

Those are our guys.

Adams.

Johnson.

What the hell could do that to them?

An elder.

What's an elder?

You don't wanna know.

Worse the ferals?

Worse than an army of ferals set on fire.

Oh shit.

It's like when it took their blood it took their souls, too.

I don't wanna meet this thing.

Yeah, well let's not press our luck.

Fall back.

What was that?

Steady, boys.

Stick together.

What is that?

What's happening?

We gotta get outta here, now.

Go! Go!

Back to back.

Back to back!

Don't break formation.

Jesus Christ.

There's gotta be a faster way to do this.

Ok, um...

Break it down into sectors.

Alright.

How's she doing?

She's strong, but I'm not sure how much longer she can fight.

Hey.

Hang in there, sis.

We're gonna fix this.

Where the hell are you, Axel?

Go! Go!

Stick together!

Get down! Get down!

Stay away from the shadow!

Man down! Man down!

Goddamn apocalypse.
