Van Helsing (2016–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Seen You - full transcript

In the days leading up to "The Rising," Vanessa is attacked and left for dead by an intruder. When Doc discovers anomalies in Vanessa's bloodwork, Axel and the marines come to retrieve the body, only to become marooned in the hospital.

I've seen you here before.

I don't think so.

I'm pretty good with faces.

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

The Mount Washburn eruption

at three o'clock local time

was unexpected but
geologists say the Yellowstone

caldera is an active seismic region

and these events are common
every 100 years or so.

Current winds are expected
to bring the ash cloud westward,

disrupting some...



Vanessa. What do you know?

We live a couple blocks from each other.

Mind if I give you a call,
maybe grab a drink?

Let's have it.

See you in a few weeks.

You didn't answer my question.

I know.

And the list continues to grow.

We are receiving word that
air quality advisories...

Ready?

Yep.

Look on the tv, mom.

What is it?

Volcano near Yellowstone Park.



That's great, honey.

Come on, we have an
important dinner reservation, remember?

I know, I know, I'm coming.

How was the job interview?

For centuries we have survived
for one reason,

and one reason only.

The shadows have protected us.

He's late.

Have you seen the skies today?

Our time is now.

The mystery of existence is
not merely in staying alive,

but in finding something to live for.

A delivery, sir.

There it is, everything you asked for.

I know... I know something happened.

I'm sick.

Something's the matter with me.

I-I've got some sort of...

You are human.

No, no, no, no.

That's not...

No.

A reversion

I haven't seen this since...

No, no.

Dmitri.

This must be stopped
before it's too late.

Yeah, so... I should go.

Ok, I drank some.

I was just getting my cut.

I've always done that, always!

Where's the rest of what you took?

This is gone.

No matter.

Where is it from?

One of our usual spots.

Over by the university.

A... a clinic.

No, no, no.

I-I'm one of you guys...

No, please.

Please.

Balthazar.

Find the source.

Do what you must.

Dead or alive.

Something is coming.

I know.

Honey, that volcano was
100 miles away in Wyoming.

But they said..

Wait. I'm telling you, there's
nothing to worry about.

Ok? What we should be discussing
is your birthday

and getting home for cake and presents.

I thought we couldn't afford
presents this year.

Well, I just made some extra cash,

so presents are back on the menu.

But since it's getting late
I say we go home for cake first

and then tomorrow I take you shopping

and you pick out something
nice for yourself.

Is that money from the job interview?

Yeah.

Kinda like a bonus.

Yeah, ok.

Well, I hope you get this job.

It really looks like black snow.

Yeah, but it's not.

It's just ash from that volcano.

I know, but it's still pretty.

It's toxic.

Good point.

I wonder how long
it's gonna be like this.

I don't know.

We should probably stay
indoors for a few days,

wait 'til the rain washes it away.

You think it's like this everywhere?

We can ask dad if
it's like this in Denver

when we call him tonight.

Oh, come on, you're such a liar!

Get out of my house!

Oh, come on...

Hey Tommy.

Stay here, Dylan.

Mom, no! Mom, don't...

Tommy!

Mom, stop it!

Find someone your own size
to slap around, ass!

Why don't you mind your own business?

- She's my friend.
- Yeah, well your friend needs to know

- when to keep her mouth shut!
- Vanessa?

- I got this.
- Oh, you got this, bitch?

Mom!

What'd you call me?

Bitch.

Mom!

Stop it!

Walk away, Tommy.

No, you walk away.

You like to hit women so much,
why don't you make me?

Mom, stop it!

Stop it, mom!

You show your face
in this building again

and I'll put your head
through that wall!

Do you hear me?

Ok, ok, girlfriend. You got this.

You showed him.

I'm gonna kill you, bitch!

Mom, come on, let's go.

Just go.

You broke my goddamn nose!

What I'm getting do?

Sorry about what happened
out there in the hallway.

It's ok.

I understand.

It's a pretty sad-looking cake.

Don't smile, I can see you want to.

Do. Not. Smile.

Don't do it, missy.

Don't do it.

Don't laugh!

Noooo! I'm warning you, don't smile!

Don't laugh, don't laugh!

Hey, girl!

Don't laugh! Stop laughing!

I'm not laughing!

Stop it!

That's your dad calling
to wish you a happy birthday.

Yes!

Don't forget to get the
flight info for your trip.

Alright.

Hi dad!

Hey, happy birthday, kiddo!

Thanks!

Did you get the birthday
present I shipped?

No, I didn't.

Sorry.

You're gonna love it
when it gets there, though.

Maybe in a day or so.

Yeah, sure.

I can't wait to come
see you this weekend!

We're gonna have so much fun!

Yeah, um... about that, honey... um...

Is everything alright?

Yeah, fine, fine.

I just gotta straighten some things out.

You know, it's just with
the flights and the...

the volcanic activity and...

can you get your mom for me?

Speaking of activity,

who's purse is that on
the table behind you?

What's that?

The purse! The pink one.

Oh...

I'll get mom.

Honey...

Gary, if you're ditching your
daughter on her birthday

for some random
hook-up with a skank waitress...

This has nothing to do
with the weekend plans.

It's a safety issue, Vanessa.

Yeah, your safety, Gary.

When I see you next
I'm gonna kick your ass.

Coming!

Coming.

Hold your horses.

Who's my personal saviour?

How's your face, Susan?

Forget about my face.

This uh, is my way of
saying "thank you".

Does this make me your pimp?

The job's available, comes
with some good perks, too.

Yeah, well I need the money.

I wish you weren't joking sometimes.

Come on, let's crack this thing open

and get shit-faced.

Look, I'd love to but
it's Dylan's birthday.

She just had a fight with her dad

and I'm getting the cake ready.

So after she goes to sleep
I'll knock on your door, ok?

We can deal with
your wine surplus problem.

Ok, sure.

Choose your adorable daughter
over a lush of a best friend.

I'll see you later.

Bye.

Dylan, come on!

Dylan?

You want some cake?

'Cause I can't eat
this whole thing by myself.

All right, will try.

Dylan, I've decided it's cake time.

Dylan?

Dylan?

Dylan? Dylan? Dylan?

Come on, birthday girl.

Candles are burnin'.

Where are you?

Dylan?

Dyl?

Come on, babe.

Hmm.

Where are you?

Catch up.

Hello?

Who's there?

Is that you, Tommy?

Huh?

What, you come back to get some more?

Mom?

Mom?

Mom?

Where-mom, where are you?

Dylan!

Mom! Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom?

Oh my god, no!

Momma!

Dylan...

Momma!

There's so much blood!

Find Susan.

Call the police then call your father.

Please... mom, no... please.

I love you.

I love you, mom.

Please, mom, no!

Mom. Mom!

No, mom.

Mom! Mom!

Mom! Mom!

Wake up, please!

No, mommy, you can't leave me!

Please, no!

No!

Hello, pretty.

What's your name?

Vanessa Seward, age 30,
says the police report.

It's a criminal file. I...

This is a hospital.

This DB should be at the coroner.

Coroner's office is swamped
and they can use the extra help.

Swamped?

Yeah, it's been busier than usual.

With dead bodies?

Uh-huh.

What's "busier than usual"?

I'm not supposed to talk about it.

People acting crazy is all I know.

Do you have a problem keeping her?

No.

Good.

I'm done then.

Help me with her.

That's a new one.

What is it?

The lividity is unusual.

The body isn't cooling,
rigour hasn't set in.

What does that mean?

She's still alive?

No, no.

But it doesn't exactly
mean she's dead, either.

I need better toys.

Move her to the fourth floor lab.

What happened to you?

Why aren't you dying in the usual way?

Told this blood, but...
but red the moons.

What the...?

Huh.

Let's check your blood work.

Lieutenant.

Hi Zara.

Can I just bug you with
a quick work question?

Sure thing.

I got this female DB.

Early 30's, severe trauma
with some unusual properties.

Lividity, body
temperature, it's all out of whack,

and when I checked her blood

it was acting like it was still alive.

Alive?

What do you mean?

Mobility, cell activity, the works.

Grace?

What's going on?

Nothing.

We've just been doing several...
nothing, forget it.

Don't bullshit me.

I know you too well.

I'm not supposed to talk about it.

You're the second person
who has said that to me today.

What's going on?

There's an advisory from
the Pentagon that's classified.

Don't make me say any more.

Jesus, Grace. I'm your sister!

If there's something I should know...

It's nothing to worry about.

Promise.

Look, just email me her numbers

and anything else you
can pull from the bloodwork.

Sending it over right now.

Don't leave me hanging.

I'll deal with it.

Don't do anything else, ok?

And don't speak to anyone about this.

I have to go.

The US Geological Survey has advised us

to pull back to a new safe zone.

The interesting part is that
it is much further away

from the volcano.

I have Miguel Rodriguez with
us to help us understand why.

Miguel?

Thanks, David.

Um, the reason we're asking
everyone to pull back

to a minimum safe distance is
not because of the volcano

that erupted yesterday.

It's because the whole area

is also a much larger
super volcano, a caldera,

that we worry might experience

some unusual seismic activity
due to the smaller volcano.

You said "smaller"?

That's correct.

You see, the super volcano
that we're standing above

is actually 100 times larger

than the one that you
are filming currently.

You the one that called in the zombie?

Ex-excuse me?

Called the base.

Sent over data on a deceased individual

you have on the premises.

Grace.

Then we're in the right place.

Come with us, please.

Can I finish my lunch?

No, you cannot finish your lunch.

This is a priority situation.

It really can't wait, ma'am.

What do you mean, "priority"?

Just take us to the body.

Not until you explain yourself.

Can you please tell her
to explain herself?

There are reports of an
unknown viral outbreak

in some cities.

That's all I'm
permitted to say on the matter.

A virus?

That's right.

But you don't have any protective gear.

No biohazard suits.

I don't have time for this.

Sergeant.

Help the doctor.

Ok, sorry about that, folks.

It appears that we have lost
our signal from Yellowstone

and I am getting
reports of another eruption.

Tell you what, we'll take
a commercial break

and try to get you more information

on this developing story.

We'll be right back.

Yes, sir.

Affirmative.

Roger that, standing by.

What's the latest, ma'am?

Yellowstone went off big time.

It's a goddamn crater now.

Earthquakes in a 1000-mile radius.

There are two nuclear plant meltdowns

and the comms are being
disrupted everywhere.

National Guard and regular
army have been deployed

for rescue and recovery.

It's a mess.

Are we being deployed, major?

Negative.

What are we supposed to do?

Well, the Pacific Northwest
seems safe enough.

The ash cloud from
that volcano is probably

gonna darken the skies
for a little while...

Shouldn't you people be
focused on the emergency?

These are specific orders, ma'am.

Our buddies are dealing
with the situation outside.

Out.

So what is the actual deal
with Sleeping Beauty?

She's dead.

And not dead at the at the same time.

Look, it just feels like
this should wait.

I mean, shouldn't the RA be outside...

We're under orders, ma'am.

I'm sure you are,

but given everything that's
happening right now...

Don't question orders.

This operation is being
directed by the folks

at the highest level.

What does that even mean?

The highest level means
exactly what you think it means.

I see. The advisory.

What did you just say?

The advisory.

What's she talking about, major?

She's talking out of her ass.

Oh, so there isn't an advisory?

That's classified.

There's seriously something
wrong with you, lady.

Prep Sleeping Beauty for transport.

No, no.

Nobody's prepping anybody for anything!

Our orders are to transport
her back to base, Doc.

What the...?

- What the hell?
- Jesus.

Oh my god!

We need some help here!

I need that bed!

What do you want us to do, ma'am?

Ma'am!

Major!

Base, do you copy?

It's street warfare out there.

Anyone!

What the fu...

Hey, hey, hey!

Ma'am, duck!

What the?!

Does this have something to do with her?

You know her?

Did you see what she did to him?

You mentioned the advisory.

I don't know anything!

Blue on blue.

Holy shit!

What's a blue on blue?

It means our guys are being
attacked by fellow soldiers.

Ted, keep your weapon
on Sleeping Beauty.

Copy that.

Ok, ok.

We gotta do something.

We need reinforcements.

About goddamn time.

I'll take uh, Tucker and Kowalski.

The rest of you remain here
until further notice.

I want Sleeping Beauty protected

until we get a secure
position and transport.

Clear?

Yeah. Copy.

I'm just gonna go to my office.

You're not leaving!

You're remaining here as
long as that body is here.

You make sure she stays put.

Ma'am.

Don't worry, Doc.

We're gonna keep you safe.

_

Have you noticed the Doc
hasn't been herself lately?

No, I hadn't.

Yeah, well, it's her birthday coming up.

I thought maybe we could
do something for her.

That's nice.

How do you remember this shit?

I don't know, I just do.

Hey, come on now, it's not like that.

Really?

Where?

Oh, shit.

We lost the last GoPro.

Hey, where are you goin'?

I'm just gonna...

take a walk through the halls.

Won't be but a minute.

You said that last time.

Yeah, this time I'm telling
you the truth.

That'd be a nice change.

I'm sorry that these
experiments have been disappointing so far.

But believe me, I have been trying

with everything I can think
of with the resources I have.

I have high hopes for these
latest pregnancies.

But that's...

What of the woman?

What do you mean?

Yes. The one with the
abilities of some kind?

She could be...

very helpful.

I'm sorry, what?

You can use her.

Experiment on her.

Yes. Yes, of course.

Her existence could be the end of us.

Or our future.

Find her.

Bring her.

As you wish.

Alive.

If she exists, so want her alive.

So what have you learned from him?

Kill me... kill me!

Well, we're officially down to DEFCON

2 level ammo rationing starting today.

The biggest problem being
bullets for the M4.

Surprise, surprise.

That's it.

What's it?

I can't do this anymore.

Can't do what?

What're you talking about?

It's only a matter of time
before we run out of supplies

or some of those feeders get in here.

So we get more supplies.

There's tons of stores out
there we haven't scavenged yet.

Hey.

We got a mission.

I don't care how long it takes,

I'm not abandoning my
post until the CO tells me to.

What mission?

What mission?

Sleeping Beauty!

Doc says she thinks she could
be the key to the whole thing.

How are we gonna protect
her if we're dead?

We need a plan.

Well, it sounds
like you already got one.

I do.

Alright, well, bring it on.

I take Smith and Gomez.

Beat it back to the base.

We'll recon with whatever
weapons and ammo we can carry.

Any comms left in this part
of the world are gonna be there.

We'll get you your orders
so you can bug outta here.

The base is 40 miles away.

We can make it.

Look, at least give me a couple weeks.

I can see if I can get the rig...

Oh, come on.

Axel, it's a pipe dream.

It's not gonna work.

40 miles!

On foot!

Might as well be 1000
with those things out there.

You got a better idea?

Axel, cover us from the roof.

When the coast is clear
give us the signal.

What signal?

You don't have to do this, Ted.

Yeah, I do.

If I stay here any longer
I'm gonna take myself out.

Doc, lock the door after
we're gone, seal it tight.

Happy to.

Go time.

Don't lock this door 'til we're clear.

Mind your six.

Go.

Oh, shit.

Keep it open!

What are you doing?

What are you doing?!

No!

No!

Doc!

You ok?

No!

- You ok?
- I've been bit!

You're gonna be ok.

I doubt it.

Where is it?

Oh, my God.

Oh, God.

Okay.

One... two... three...

No! No!

You're gonna shoot me, aren't you?

You made me promise if
you ever got bit, Doc.

I don't want...

I changed my mind.

We made a pact.

I know. Please, please.

Please don't shoot...

Please, no, no!

Please...

Please... You don't have to do...

You don't have to do this...

You don't have to... do this...

No, I don't.

Come here, come here, come here.

I got ya.

Come on, Doc.

I got ya.

I got ya.

Stay with me.

Listen to me.

You saved both of us when
you got that door shut, ok?

You saved my life.

It hurts...

I know. I know.

Just hang in there.

Don't leave me.

Hey, I ain't leaving.

Please.

I ain't going nowhere.

There's gotta be a way
to fix this thing, right?

There's gotta be.

We just don't know what it is yet,

so I'm gonna keep you safe
until we can figure it out.

Axel...

Doc.

Jesus Christ.
