Previously on Van Helsing

What are they saying?

They are going to execute us.

Holy shit, you made it back.

She needs a doctor now.

It's not healing over.

I sacrificed myself for you.

You lock my people up,
you attack them!

Who's in here?

Who's in here?

It didn't have to be like this,
man, not like this!!



No, it didn't.

You are basically sending us
out there to die.

You mean exactly what you
were about to do to us.

No calli.

Calli!!!!

Make it outside the city,
you might have a chance.

Aren't you curious?

It's for you. Please...

You like?

Yes, very much.

So tell me...

What are you and Rebecca doing?

Your laboratory?

Yes, of course.



More experiments... children.

I'm very hopeful that a solution
can be found.

Why children?

They are rapidly growing
organisms.

Alive with cellular division.

My serum is absorbed
much faster

than with a fully
grown adult vamp.

One of your species.

I'm told she has a human
companion... a woman.

Yes... sheema.

Treats her like a pet.

Let's her come and go
from the citadel.

I don't know what Rebecca
sees in her.

She killed a group of humans
to rescue her.

Rebels, traitors, all of them.

But not you.

No...

You are a loyal human.

Of course, yes.

Implicitly.

No, no, no, no, no.

You stay.

It's true.

I saw one of ours.

Now one of them... turned.

And the woman?

Julius had her.

She escaped.

Escaped?

I'm disappointed.

It was Julius who failed.

He will try again...
But not for you.

He and the old woman...

They plan to hunt her...

Keep her for themselves.

They dare to defy me?

I made Julius...

I will end him.

He thinks you are weak.

You go to him.

You tell him... no... no, no,
no... wait.

I will tell him myself.

What's wrong?

Eat!

Shit.

Over here!

No!

Get her!

Hold your advance!

State your business!

Orders from Dmitri.

We want the woman.

Julius' prisoner.

And what...

Don't let her escape.

No, please stop!

Please, don't hurt me!

Please!

Hey, hey, hey.

Stay with me.

You... you...

What do I do?

What do I do? What do I do?

You can't save me.

Hold on, hold on.

I'm bleeding out.

What are you even doing here?

You're supposed to be at
the hospital.

Axel killed all my friends

and he sent the rest of us
out here to die.

Wait a minute, how... how?

I guess he got his wish.

So what about everyone else?

Kelly? Brendan?

I... I don't know.

We... we got attacked
and Callie...

She let go of my hand
and...

I'm sorry.

What about Vanessa,
did she make it back?

Is she safe?

She was bitten.

Hurt... but...

But what?

She...

Catherine?

Hey, hey...

Vanessa...

Hey there, doc.

You're looking at her
blood again?

I never figured her out before.

Maybe I can see something
new this time.

Just an awful lot like them,

...similar but different.

She's like a mirror image,
a negative.

Maybe if we can synthesize it...
Undo vampirism forever, but...

I don't know.

So you're starting
to care again?

It's a mystery, that's all.

I mean, would we really want
the world back

the way it used to be?

After everything we've been
through?

Yeah, you wouldn't?

Greed, ignorance...

Who's to say we wouldn't make
all the same mistakes again?

So what, we just hang out here
for as long as we can survive?

That's it, that's all we got?

Maybe... maybe it's all pain,
suffering and loneliness now.

Doc, come on.

We're gonna get out of this.

You and me, I promise you.

I have some samples in
the... centrifuge, I...

I'm going to dim the lights
while she's sleeping ok?

I got it, I got it.

It's just the damn breaker.

Axel, Axel... this place is
falling apart.

Yeah, given what's happened
this is more of a death trap

than a shelter.

You're right, this place
is going to shit.

We need to do something
about it.

This old girl has been keeping
me alive for three years plus.

She deserves a little respect.

Besides, y'all don't know
what I got up my sleeve.

Yeah, well I for one would
like to know.

Why don't you call a meeting?

I don't want to ruin
the surprise!

And I don't wanna hear
anymore of this about leaving.

This is ten times safer
than anything

we're going to find out there.

End of discussion.

You're awake again?

Where does it hurt?

God, everywhere!

Mainly my leg.

It burns.

Jesus.

You're not healing like usual.

I know.

How's she doing?

That bad?

No, no...

Right doc?

Do you have anything
for the pain?

Yeah.

Thank you.

Sam! Sam!

We got trouble.

What's happening?

Julius is leading a contingent
up third street.

They're coming
to take you home?

What?

No, you guys don't get it.

He was a top dog, he was
one of Julius' lieutenants.

That's no secret,
everybody knows that.

No, we knew you were
one of them.

We didn't know
you were important.

You people don't get it!

No one's important to Julius
except you.

Hey!

What's everybody standing
around for?

Grab your gear,
it's game time.

What is happening?

As far as I can tell, Julius
is about to tear this place

a new asshole.

Come on, let's go! Move!

They're coming for me.

It looks that way.

How are you feeling?

Weak... like I'm human again.

You're worried about
this attack.

Shit.

Don't write us off just yet.

There's three levels of hell
to get through

before they can get
into this lab.

And what happens when
they get in this lab?

Don't worry about that.

If they get in here...

I'll take you out myself.

You'll take me out?

If it comes to that.

Let's hope it doesn't
come to that.

Yeah.

What are they doing?

They're sacrificing themselves.

Why do they want her so bad?

No, it's not them.

It's the others,
Dmitri and Rebecca.

Who?

The ancients.

They want her, they fear
what she can do.

That's great,
the ancients!

Still feel confident?

What, do I look nervous?

I don't give a shit
who they are.

They're not getting in here.

I'm with Sam.

This is screwed.

Let's go!

It's their tactic.

They're gonna throw bodies
at this building

until they get inside.

What do we do?

Fall back to the escalators
and make a stand there.

Get her.

You two go upstairs and help
with the barricade,

I'm going to stay here
with Sam,

set up a perimeter in case
they get past these traps.

No, no, no... Sam
can go with flesh.

I'll stay here with you.

I'll be upstairs.

You stay.

Go on!

You better have a plan
to get us outta here

if things go south.

Yeah, sure.

What's happening down there?

I don't know but I'm going
to find out.

Get better, we may need
your help.

Your friend is interesting.

She's been through a lot.

Yeah, haven't we all?

You know, she's one of
the only people...

Vanessa?

No, no, no!

Vanessa? Vanessa!

Shit, come on!

Vanessa, don't die on me.

John?

John, get over here now!

Give me your hand!

What can I do?

I know nothing about this shit.

You can do what I tell
you to do!

Keep the chest compressions
going just like I'm doing.

Like this, here.

I'm gonna go get some meds.

What's happening?

The girl who we thought
couldn't die is dying.

Okay I got it, I got it.

Come on!

This is where we stop them.

Good man.

No way I'm going back to
that vampire hellhole!

Ready to rock.

Alright then.

Game on, soldier boy.

Sweet.

At least the adrenaline started
her heart again.

She has all the signs of sepsis

but her body's not
healing like usual.

There could be something
in the wound

that's causing the toxicity.

Can you fix her?

I've only cut into dead bodies.

What's the difference?

The difference is you can't
screw up with a corpse.

Well does it matter
at this point?

You're confident cutting
into dead people.

Well, she's dead so it's the
same thing.

Either you don't do it and
she's dead

or you do it and screw up
and she's dead.

What have you got to lose?

Yeah.

Alright.

Here... you're assisting me.

What?

Okay...

Here we go...

Shit, here they come.

Yeah, they're gonna be coming
up quick through this kill box.

Hit them them in the head
and hard

in short controlled bursts,
conserve your ammo.

This is it.

This is it.

Now what do we do?

Once I cut into her, I need
you to force the incision open.

Keep it from closing out

so I can get to whatever's
killing her.

Yeah, okay just go.

You ready?

Yeah, whatever.

...Jesus Christ.

God.

Game on! Here they come!

Everybody pull back, now!

Go!

What are you doing?

Finishing this.

...Jesus.

God!

Did we do it?

Check the roof.

Okay.

Gustaf... you disappoint me.

We need more warriors.

I'll get more.

They're giving up.

No... regrouping.

This is gonna be a long night.

A vampire tooth.

Must've been what
was poisoning her.

Okay, you can close it up.

I can definitely say I prefer
working on corpses.

Hey.

How's she doing?

Well, you missed all the fun
but I can say she's gonna live.

The question is, will we?

If I have anything to say
about it, we both will.

I'm not convinced.

Hey, doc... I haven't
forgotten what you did.

Trying to save smitty,
saving me...

What happened to you
because of it...

I will make sure you
get through this.

Or I'll die trying.

How long do you think
before they come back at us?

Julius will never give up,

no matter how many warriors he
has to sacrifice.

Why?

Why do you think?

She really means that much
to him?

No, not to him.

Dmitri and Rebecca.

Julius knows they want Vanessa,
it's a play.

For leverage?

Possibly.

For what?

Who knows what vampires plan.

Well you're one of them.

So Dmitri, Julius, Rebecca...

They're all what,
they're all different?

Look... as far as
i understand it

they're, they're older...
They're ancient.

They were around
before all hell broke loose.

You sure know a lot
about how they think,

how they operate.

Well it comes with
the territory.

Hey!

Those are m-4s...

Ar-50s, that's military issue.

Someone's giving someone hell.

That's gotta be the resistance.

No one else has that
many guns.

Those are soldiers,
i promise you.

One and the same.

What's going on?

Firefights out here.

How's Vanessa?

She's doing better, doc says
you're a big reason why.

I just did what she told me to,
but thanks.

It's what saved her.

Yeah well, I'd have done the
same for any of these guys,

I guess... mostly.

Mohamad?

Could be, could be anybody.

It's a warning... there!

They don't look friendly.

God.

Dmitri's death squad.

The elite.

We're dead.

Dmitri's death squad.

They outnumber us.

Do we fight?

No... we live to die
another day.

They're retreating.

Julius knows they can't win
this fight.

So it's a war of the vampires,

It's been heading this way
for a while.

We could use that.

Get them killing each other,
could buy us some time

for a counterattack of our own.

We'd have to leave
the building for that.

What time do we leave?

No, no, no...

This is still the safest place
we got by a long shot.

You better be right.

What happened?

You died... again.

I brought you back.

I feel sick.

I gave you something to get
you on your feet, fast.

We're not staying long.

Bring the woman to me!

You can stay or leave
but decide now!

So...

They're gonna get in,
we're gonna die.

Not if I have anything to do
with it.

You gonna call their bluff?

I wouldn't mess with them, Axel.

It's Vanessa they want.

Seriously? Just like that?

I'm just saying what
everyone's thinking.

You don't speak for me.

You don't speak for me either!

We don't even know
who you are.

Listen, Vanessa's the only
reason they haven't burnt

this place to the ground.

He's right.

She's the only thing keep us
alive right now.

Vanessa will be fine,

they can't turn and they're not
likely to kill her

if they came all this way.

Maybe that's the answer.

I'm toxic to them.

What if we used my blood
and dispersed it

like a chemical weapon?

Could turn them human...
They'd be easier to kill.

If they're human, why would
we kill them?

There's a point.

Nuh.

There's no way I could make
it fast enough.

Plus, I might need all of
her blood to pull it off.

No, there's no way.

Good plan for another time
maybe.

Then we need to start talking
exit strategy, Axel.

Ask me again in an hour.

I guess that means
end of discussion.

You knew this was coming.

You knew this was coming,
it's been three years.

You're just not gonna let them
in, that's it!

You've got a plan.

You know what you're doing,
you know what you're doing!

They don't get in, that's it.

They just don't get in.

Semper fi, son of a bitch,
semper fi.

Simplify!

Hey.

Hey.

I think Axel may have lost it.

I just saw him talking to
himself in the hallway.

I'm worried that he may have
gone awol... mentally.

He's got no plan to get us
out of this.

Between that and whatever the
vampires have planned for us...

You heard what they said,
we hand over Vanessa,

we all keep our...

Jesus Christ.

What's going on?

Those things come marching
in here in five minutes,

you know Vanessa's the only one
that gets out of here

in one piece, right?

Where's Axel?

Having a breakdown somewhere.

There's no plan to get us
out of here,

he's freakin' delusional.

Look, he spent the last
three years

turning this place
into a fortress...

You don't think he knows
what he's doing?

No.

Not anymore.

Nicole found him talking to
himself like a crazy person!

Everybody talks to themselves.

When was this?

10 minutes ago.

What's going on?

Reality check.

If we're all going to die up
here, we'd like to know.

You still think we're going
to make it through this alive?

Most of us.

We need to know there's
a plan.

Right now.

Well, I got a truck parked
downstairs, John.

I just need to wait for
the valet to bring it around.

I'm serious!

Shit, they're in the escalators.

It's too late now.

Yeah, too late for what?

To just hand Vanessa
over to those things?

And then what was gonna
happen Johnny,

in your little mind?

They're just gonna say,
hey thanks guys!

Go ahead!

You know, have a nice day.

There's gotta be another way
out of this death trap.

Nicole!

Let her go, let her go!

Anybody that wants to live,
follow me.

You think you got
a better idea?

You do whatever you want.

What, are we just gonna
leave her here?

Keep advancing.

What do we do now?

Well they still have to make
it through the uv lights

and there's no way
that's gonna happen.

And if they do, then what?

Well, then we say our prayers.

There's only one play left
in the playbook.

Let's barricade these doors!

What are our chances,
Axel?

Axel, John asked you a question.

I don't know!

Better than even.

The lights will cook
any vampire,

we know that.

Here they come.

What the hell?

What the freak?

Wait... I know him.

That's the guy who killed me.

God,, I must have turned him.

Shit, he's human.

Everybody go, now! Run!

Back! Back!

Shit!

Shit!

Damnit! God damnit.

He with them?

Grab your stuff and get
to the inner lab, now!

Axel, what about Nicole?

I can go back for Nicole,
Axel.

Really?

What are you going to do, back
through there, through them?

Well, which direction
would you suggest?

This guy, you gotta be
kidding me?

He's going to join forces
with them and help them!

I'm not one of them!

I don't trust this guy.

I'm not one of them!

You keep saying that...

Will you shut up?

The only way we're getting
out of here at this point is

all of us or none of us.

It's time to abandon ship.

Isn't it too late for that?

How the hell are we supposed
to do that four floors up?

Sam, you help Vanessa.

Follow me.

Really?

This is this?

Really.

Go, go, go!

I knew there was a reason
you were protecting this door.

One last surprise.

Where does this go?

Down, it's just down.

Everybody grab a dish bag,
let's go.

Not him.

He stays.

What?

I don't trust him,
i never have.

John, come on.

You're gonna pull this shit
right now?

Ask your friend.

She said he's close
with Julius.

Close to Julius,
that's what she said!

No, I said he was
one of them.

That's... that's all I said.

Come on, this is ridiculous.

Everyone shut up,
just shut up!

We're all so sure of
ourselves?

Sure we have the answers?

We don't know shit.

If you're so goddamn sure
about flesh,

then pull the goddamn
trigger already, John.

Enough bullshit!

Quit talking about it
and pull the trigger!

Good.

I didn't think so!

Good.

Now everybody shut up!

Listen to Axel and get down
the stairs!

You heard the lady, go!

Come on! Move!

So long, old girl.

Shit!

Holy shit. This is Wanda!

You'll take me out?

I wasn't lying.

Ambulance.

Yeah, a few modifications.

Come on, let's go!

Go, go, let's go!

Whoo!

Ha ha, whoo!

Yeah! That's what
I'm talking about.

Where the hell did that thing
come from?

Guys?

No, no, no, no!

Guys?

Guys! Guys!

This way!

Guys, wait for me, guys, guys!
