VANESSA: Previously on Van Helsing...
Ever since the Elder bit me, I'm craving it.
If I start to turn, you know what you have to do, right?
SUSAN: The family book.
The answers are in there, I just couldn't find them.
I read every word.
- I'll miss you. - Bring her back in one piece.
VANESSA: Yeah, not a scratch.
SUSAN: Each Elder has something, a totem, that leads to the Dark One.
VANESSA: We kill the Elders, take their totems
and resurrect the Dark One ourselves.
We end this once and for all.
OWL HOOTS
What's that line thing?
I don't know, looks like a maze or something.
SCARLETT: What're we even looking for?
- I don't know. - It's not in the words, right?
We're supposed to be looking for hidden clues or something?
Yeah, that's what she said, right?
Anything?
No.
Don't worry, we'll figure it out.
Yeah, I just hope in time enough to make a difference.
TWIG SNAPS
Head down, now!
VAMPIRE GROWLS
THEY GRUNT
GUNSHOT
Holy shit.
MAN: Hey!
Hey! That's my boat!
GUNSHOT
- GUNSHOT - SHE GROANS
MAN: Hey!
You OK?
Yeah, I'm great.
I just got shot in the back with a shotgun.
MAN SHOUTS
Good thing we walked all over those mountains instead of just taking the boat here.
According to the map, we should be close.
Yeah, assuming that we've been following the right map.
What're we even looking for?
Ugh.
VANESSA: That, maybe.
SEABIRDS CRY
Oof...
FLIES BUZZ
SCARLETT: Anything else in there?
You mean, besides a dead guy without a face cos he blew it off?
- I'm assuming it's not the Elder. - No, he looks human.
Looks like it's this guy right here. Chuck Tanner.
I think he was the keeper here when all this started, so...
Yeah. If I was on this island for two weeks, I'd probably do the same thing.
Man, there's a lot of good shit in here.
I feel like this place hasn't been touched since the rising.
Yeah, it does seem that way.
SHE CHUCKLES
Hey!
I'm starving. Let's eat.
Somewhere else?
FLIES BUZZ - Yeah.
When you were alone with Mum, did she say anything else
about being a Van Helsing? Our childhoods?
- Why the hell we're stuck doing this? - Only what you already know.
About being willing to make sacrifices, and stuff about our destiny.
And the necklace, I guess, with blood in it.
VANESSA: Anything about what we're supposed to do with it?
SCARLETT: No.
That's why I gave a bit of it to Doc, see if she could make some use of it.
Sorry, I wish I had better answers.
Maybe we got it wrong.
- Maybe we're on the wrong island. - Maybe.
Or not.
I've seen this. Inside there.
SCARLETT: What the hell is that?
VANESSA: Old. That's what it is.
Give me a hand.
- SCARLETT: Put it on the back table? - Yeah.
Got it.
- THEY CHUCKLE - Woah, careful!
VANESSA: Right here.
It's cool.
I have no idea what to do with this.
I'll get the book.
There's a wick. Still some kerosene left.
What does it say in there?
I don't know, I can't understand the language.
Oh, my God, why is everything in riddles?
Just once can we have something in plain English?
What fun would that be?
A lot, actually.
It's like a... it's a light of some kind, you know?
- Mmm. - A lantern or...
MECHANISM CLICKS
Bingo.
Let's see if we can light it up.
Find some matches?
SCARLETT: Uh...
Ah. Great.
VANESSA: See if there's, like, slides around here or something.
Wait.
I thought I saw something in here.
SCARLETT: There's nothing back here. - Nothing over here, either.
Mm... There's a bunch of old maps?
But I don't know how that's helpful.
This is a map of the island as it is today.
It wouldn't go with this machine.
- Mm-hmm. - We need to use this map.
It's almost as if we need to project this.
I mean, is there any way that we...
- Vanessa. - Yeah?
Exactly.
OK.
See that?
- See this line? - Mm-hmm?
It's only on this map.
It matches up with this one.
- Does it intersect on the island? - Sure does.
This is the lighthouse. It's... it's like a beach away.
Let's go check it out.
Hey, woah, woah, woah. Hold up.
- Come here. Give me the totems. - What? Why?
If we do run into an Elder, we don't wanna have the totems
and then it opens up a passageway to Hell or something...
Yeah, no, it's a good idea.
Let's leave them here.
SCARLETT: Alright, let's go.
Mm...
OK...
VANESSA: Well, it looks like the map wasn't wrong.
It's something.
- Oh, shit. - What?
I've seen these before.
In the cavern with the first Elder.
Ugh... This is gonna suck.
Here.
Whew!
Fuck...
ELECTRICITY CRACKLES
Phew, OK...
SHE GROANS
What the hell was that?
Only way in.
- You OK? - Yep.
Go ahead.
MICE SQUEAK
Eugh.
Shit.
What the hell is that?
So...
the time has arrived.
HE CHUCKLES
Come.
Come. Don't be silent, my dears.
What would this world be if we cannot speak freely to one another?
No one's stopping you. Just keep speaking.
Surely you are Van Helsings, too.
You must be.
I can practically smell it on you.
HE INHALES DEEPLY
And your likeness.
This was not a coincidence.
I knew this day was coming.
You're a Van Helsing?
ELDER: Indeed.
Jacob Van Helsing, brother of the greatest of all
Abraham.
But you're an Elder?
Oh...
this is also true.
Well, if that's the case, then you know why we're here.
To kill me, I imagine.
Yeah, that's a really great guess.
But that, my darling
would be... HE GROANS
What are your names, if I may ask?
Scarlett.
- Scarlett... - That's Vanessa.
Vanessa.
Of course, the same as your great-great-great-grandmother.
Vanessa...
It would be a grave mistake to be done with me this quickly.
There is much for you to learn from the likes of me.
Well, we're just here to get the totem. The rest is up to you.
Oh, you mean life or death is up to me to choose?
No.
More like how you die
and what you decide to tell us before that happens.
Hmm.
VANESSA: So what happened to you? You were turned by someone?
Of course.
The darkness itself.
Abraham and I chased the son of the jackal across Europe
to England and then finally here to The New World.
I was wounded during the final battle with that wretched soul
outside the labyrinth while it and Abraham tumbled through the portal and beyond
which I am sure they still remain in to this day.
So... what labyrinth? Where?
JACOB: Oh, you know.
Below the madness.
Protected by the consumers of light.
What about the fourth Elder?
Did you ever face it?
Just once.
VANESSA: And the portal. You know where it is, exactly?
Of course. So do you.
But now, it is your journey to take.
Yes.
Or yours.
OK, so you were bitten, and then what? How did you become an Elder?
I was chosen to be the next.
It seduced me like a... young maiden.
Yes... I was happily resting in the house of Renfield
in my own mind.
But the pull was too strong.
The seduction...
the chance for eternity.
I was so weak.
I need blood.
Do you have blood? I need...
VANESSA: We'll give you blood.
But first, you're gonna help us.
- OK? - Yes.
Good.
Where's the totem?
First the totem, then blood.
Very near.
VANESSA: Uh, more specific than that?
Very, very near. HE CHUCKLES
But know this.
Only one of you...
will continue to the end.
One. Never both.
No.
And when the time is right, both of you will know what must happen.
What your destinies are intended to be.
So where is it?
Where is what?
Don't play games.
The totem.
Ah.
I told you. It's very near.
SCARLETT: Oh, my God. - Play time's over.
Where is it?
You already have it.
There.
Around your neck.
That is my totem that was taken from me when I was entombed.
Mine.
JACOB: No, no, no...
Wait, wait, wait!
Yes.
Oh, the sun. Nothing like the sun.
It feels so long ago that I felt its...
HE SIGHS ...glow, its warmth, its...
I can't tolerate this my whole life but it does feel wonderful.
Now, who'd have thought?
You and you, two twins would join together to, what, save the world?
HE CHUCKLES
After the apocalypse finally came, as Abraham always predicted it would be
the fate of this world...
rests on Van Helsing's shoulders once again.
Yes.
And things are finally the way they should be.
Wouldn't you say?
You.
Yeah, enough about us.
Look... I just want you to know the stakes of what we're dealing with here
and why it's so important for you to help us.
I do.
I do, because I am you. I was you.
- I understand. - Good.
Then help us
and we'll...
- we'll make this... - You'll what?
You will what, leave me here alone on this island?
You will put me back in that cell, in that chair?
No. Uh-uh.
No, I was gonna say make it quick and painless.
Look, Jacob, we can't leave you here. And I'm sorry about that, but...
the less Elders the world has to face, the better.
No, no, no, no.
Listen to me. I can control it.
The sickness, I can control it, even if I don't want to, I can...
I learned how.
Trust me.
Sorry.
Then change me back.
Turn me back to a human, yes.
If what you're saying about yourselves is true, then why not?
Why not turn me back? Make me a human again, yes?
Yes. Or at least try.
I mean, I may turn to dust, and that will be as our God above
wishes to be, but...
please just try.
As a Van Helsing, you must.
HE CHUCKLES
Please.
Do that, or feed me. Huh?
At least feed me. Just feed me before I die.
I must taste blood one more time before I pass.
Just one more time. Just one more time, please?
I just need to taste blood one more time. You made me a promise, you remember?
SCARLETT: Vanessa.
Look, I-I get that he's an Elder
but he's also our family.
Maybe we should try.
That Elder that bit me at Blak Tek, he didn't turn.
- I don't think it's gonna make a difference. - OK, well...
it might not change him, but at least we tried.
- What's the worst that can happen? - I know you haven't done it very many times.
Every time that I do it...
something inside
regardless of the outcome, there's a cost.
And I don't know what that means.
- I'll try. - No.
Wait, you just said that I haven't really done this very much.
It may not hurt me.
I don't know, it could make a difference for him.
No, we can't bite him.
- But we can feed him. - Alright.
- You want blood? - Yes!
- Yes, I do. - Come on.
HE SNIFFS
FLIES BUZZ
He can sense the totems.
Hide them somewhere else.
Meanwhile, I'll give him some blood, buy us some time.
So is this it then?
The moment of truth.
Who's going to be the one? You? Or you?
Which one of you beautiful girls is gonna be the angel of my death?
- Neither of us. - No?
We're not gonna bite you. But I will do as I promised you.
- I'm gonna give you blood. - What?
You?
- You can have some and see what happens. - OK.
Have you been nourishing your need by your own means?
I was.
Before my turn.
What do you know about that?
Nothing.
I am the same as you are now. Huh?
Before I became an Elder...
yes.
You're getting closer, my dear. Yes.
Oh, ever close.
Closer to what?
The other side.
HE CHUCKLES Please.
- Shut up and drink. - Yes.
So sweet.
So pure...
But there's something else that I feel as well.
HE INHALES
Oh.
There's the power of another in your blood.
You don't seem to be changing.
What did you mean when you said that only one of us will survive to the end?
It was the same for Abraham and me.
It's the same for you and your sister.
JACOB CHUCKLES
You need this... as much as I do.
You don't know shit about me.
If you're a Van Helsing, then this is your chance.
Make a choice.
Scarlett!
- I just turned around and he's gone. - What're you talking about?
- He's gone. - Where...
Fuck!
SCARLETT: Shit.
He could have gone anywhere.
Alright, the quickest way to hide is to go through those woods.
- We should go that way. - I think we should split up.
No, we need to stay together. We're a lot stronger that way.
Yeah, but we'd cover more ground if we split up.
You go to the woods, I'll check down there real quick and meet up with you.
- I think we're better off... - Just trust me.
Alright.
Hey.
Did you find him?
No, I checked down there but there was nothing.
Alright.
Well, we'll just keep looking, I guess.
No, no, no, no, Scarlett.
I'm not the one to fear.
- Where's Vanessa? - Vanessa?
Oh, you think she's the stronger one?
But I sense a far greater strength in you.
- What are you talking about? - History.
Repeating itself over and over again like it did for me and my brother.
Like it will for others of our kind after us.
One stronger than the other.
I guess we know which one you are, since you were seduced by the darkness.
Is that what you believe?
That's what you told us in the cell.
I would have told you anything to get out of that cell.
"The pull was so strong. I was seduced, oh, I was so weak."
Look what you've become.
What have I become? You know nothing.
You think because you see me like this, you know the truth.
You... are so naive.
Then set me straight.
Like you and your sister, me and my brother were of one mind.
End the tyranny of the vampire.
Destroy the Dark One, yes?
If only it was that simple.
Our destiny led us down a path very much like the one
you and your sister now walk.
You see, my dear, I was not seduced.
I did what I needed to do.
I came to believe who I was, what I was...
and what my fate was, and this is my fate.
And your fate will surely present itself soon when you are ready.
Only one can make it to the end.
If you think I'm gonna hurt my sister, you're crazy.
And I make my own fate.
You're not ready.
Son of a bitch.
Nothing down by the lighthouse.
What're you doing?
He came this way. He kicked the shit out of me.
One shot.
The blood you gave him, it didn't turn him, it energised him.
So now what?
If you were him, what would you do?
Fight or flight?
If I was stuck on this island over 100 years, I'd wanna get the hell outta here.
The boat.
We beat him!
The boat's still there!
VANESSA: Something's not right.
Scarlett, I feel something.
Hey!
- Get off of her! - Stay back!
You do not understand.
Your blood... unlike anything
I've ever tasted in all these years.
I need more.
Oh, so much more.
Then turn me so I can face you.
JACOB GROANS
SHE SNARLS - HE GASPS
TENDONS TEAR
VANESSA GRUNTS
BODY SQUELCHES
Uh...
Are you OK?
He made his choice.
We should get out of here.
SCARLETT: Ahem. Yeah, um...
are we gonna talk about what just happened?
VANESSA: What's there to talk about?
What just happened is exactly what we wanted to happen.
We killed an Elder before it killed us.
Right... but you just acted like an animal.
- Sometimes that's what it takes. - You really believe that?
Absolutely.
Vanessa, that's exactly what I'm worried about.
I'm fine, you're fine. He's dead.
Actually, I'm not fine. And I don't think you're fine, either.
I mean, say what you want, but I was there both times
that he had your blood and something was happening.
It was like he was...
seducing you.
SHE SCOFFS Please.
- Scarlett, I was tricking him. - Bullshit.
- Why do you think I turned around? - What did he say to you?
What did he say in your ear?
- Don't worry about it. - Don't worry about it?
- It was nothing. - Clearly I am. "Nothing"?
- If it's nothing, then tell me. - VANESSA SIGHS
He said "rule with us".
"Return to Renfield House and rule with us."
You think that's nothing?
This guy, this thing, that we find, who turns out to be a relative of ours
he's there for over 100 years
and he finally has the chance to have his freedom
he gets away from us and he chooses to come back
so that he can taste your blood one more time
and then he says that he wants to be with you and offers you to rule with him?
SHE LAUGHS - You don't think that's a big deal?
No, I think it's ridiculous.
- Come on, we gotta go. - No...
VANESSA: Let's get the totems and let's go get our stu...
I don't feel good.
- What's wrong? - I don't feel so good.
What's happening?
It's alright, I'm just a little dizzy. It's OK.
OK, look. Sit here and just rest. I'll go get the totems.
I'll be back in 15 minutes. Stay there.
Scarlett?
Thank you.
I know it hasn't always been easy
but it's been really nice to have you here.
I've needed you.
Thank you.
Of course.
We're in this together.
Go rest. I'll be back in a bit.
I think we should split up.
You go to the woods, I'll check down there real quick and meet up with you.
- I think we're better off... - Just trust me.
If I start to turn...
SHE SNARLS - HE GASPS
HE SCREAMS
You know what you have to do, right?
No, no, no, no, no.
Vanessa!
What're you doing? Come back!
VANESSA: The Elder said only one of us will survive!
I have to make sure that's you, Scarlett!
No, you don't, actually! We're a team!
Please, come back!
Don't leave me here!
I need to make sure you live!
What?
VANESSA: I need you to live!
You're my sister! I love you!
SCARLETT: If you love me, then come back!
Please, don't do this.
You need to stay alive.
I promised Axel I would protect you.
SCARLETT: You don't get to decide that! That's not up to you!
Come on, please, Vanessa!
Come back!
I'm sorry!
I have to do this on my own.
SCARLETT: Vanessa, you don't!
Please!
Vanessa!
Stop!
Vanessa, please!
Vanessa!
You are not in control.
Shit.
Fuck!
