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

New unlikely alliances and betrayals form as the battle for humanity's freedom from Dmitri's reign continues. Vanessa faces a shocking revelation that will force her to make a hard decision.

Previously on Van Helsing...

I have a daughter, Dylan.
That's all I know or care about.

That woman turned me, she turned me back.

As soon as I tasted her blood,
I can feel again.

Dylan, Sheema... they might be in there
and they're counting on us.

I'm sorry, I had no choice.

You are so ungrateful.

I betrayed my friend to save you.

Please help me.

I don't want to.

It is time to strike back.



You kill anything within those walls.

I'm Vanessa Van Helsing.

When I go in there, I go in there
to save her, not to kill her.

Tell me someone betrayed me.

Rebecca, she offered me Fox Island.

I can offer you more.

Kill him! Do it now!

I'm listening.

Dylan?

Hello, mother.

Don't give me that look.

Seriously, Jesse, what are you doing?

With these mountain crosswinds,
helium balloons can travel

for hundreds of miles.



The further they go

the more survivors can
find one of these maps

and navigate their way here.
I get what it is.

I'm just sayin', what is the point?

If you were down there, under the clouds

running for your life every day

you'd want to know
there's somewhere safe to run to.

Those things have killed everyone

and rounded up everybody else
to keep as food.

There's no-one running around down there.

Why do you have to do that?

What's wrong with hope?

Dylan...

Dylan...

Sweetie...

don't be afraid.

I'm not afraid.

Good.

That's good.

Just... walk over to me.

OK?

Come over to me and you'll be safe,
I promise.

Don't you speak to her!

Dylan, it's me.

It's Mummy.

I've been looking everywhere for you

so please...

Just...

You left me alone to die.

Rebecca was the one who came for me.

She's the one who cares for me now.

Dylan!

Dylan, no!

Dylan, wait...

Dylan?

Dylan!

Dylan!

Dylan...

Dylan!

Vanessa!

Vanessa!

Vanessa!

Vanessa! Vaness...

- Thanks.
- No problem.

So who's Vanessa?

A friend. Someone I'm trying to find.
Someone I'm trying to help.

In this mess?

There's no time for that. Come with me.

Ah, no, no, no, I have to find Vanessa.
I said come on!

Battle's this way.

Dylan!

What's so funny, dead man?

Don't make me ask again.

The world is yours.

Take what you wish.

Rebecca. I want her.

How sweet.

You've fallen in love.

No.

I want to make her pay
for what she did to me.

To you?

Look, Taka!

Look at what they've done to me!

Oh, my God.

There is no God.

Surely you've realised that by now.

Kill him

just like we planned.

Kill him!

Kill him, now!

I don't think I can trust you.

You know nothing about the truth.

Do it, Taka.

Do it now!

You really do blow with the wind

my young friend.

Yeah, well...

the devil you know.

Or something like that.

Indeed.

Something like that.

Finish him.

Finish him now.

Feed from him, quickly,
while he is still warm.

Hey, hey, hey, hey...

Who are you guys?

These will do.

No, no, no, no, no!

It's OK, it's going to be OK.

I promise.

OK... What happened? What's going on?

I was running down the hall and then...

It hurts.

It's probably the explosions.

They're still going off right now.
The resistance.

I just gotta get you outta here first, OK.

OK. Be careful.

No, stop!

Stop!

It's crushing me.

- OK...
- Just leave it.

OK, OK...

There has to be a way
to get you outta here.

There is.

What?

What is it? Tell me, please. What is it?

Find Rebecca and Dmitri

and bring them to me... quickly.

God, no. Are you kidding?

Sheema, t-then you'd be...

It's the only way.

Sheema...

No.

Mohamad.

Mohamad, please...
No, no, no, no.

Do it for me, please! No, no...

Ever since they brought me here
and gave me things.

I wanted to be one of them.
That's all I think about anymore.

Sheema...

They were gonna do it soon.

You too.

Listen to what you are saying.

I know what I'm saying, Mohamad.

Please.

I want this so bad.

No!

Please...

Please...

Stop it.

Sheema, stop it.

Stop...! Stop! Stop it!

Stop it. Stop it.

You need to stop!

You need to stop.

Please...

What happened? They turn her?

No.

She was already one of them.

I guess that's payback
for what you did to me.

And don't follow me.

Look, I can't keep wandering around
in here with you.

I need to find the woman I told you about.
It's important.

You're crazy.

Yeah, maybe so, but I have to try.

You in love with her or something?

No, it's nothing like that.

She's the one we've been talking about
since this thing began.

She might be the cure for the whole thing.

There's no such thing. There is no cure.

We have to kill them all.

We have to kill 'em until there's no more
left, then we'll have a cure.

I don't think I believe that.

Yeah? Well, I have a job to do.

And that's blow the generator
in this place. What?

That's what I believe in.

So...

are you gonna help me
or are you gonna chase after some ghost?

I'm Lucky, by the way.

Phil... That's my name, Phil.

Huh.

Phil.

You don't look like a Phil.

Fine, help me, OK?

Do that, and if we come out with our lives,
then I'll help you find this Vanessa person.

Fair enough?

Yeah.

Yeah, OK.

Go that way!

There she is! Get her!

Go, go!

Hey, what is that?

Stop!

Wait!

Dylan, no!

Sweetie...

Come on. You know me.

Dylan...

Dylan.

I'm your mummy.

I'm your mummy.

OK? Please. You know who I am.

Dylan.

Come here. It's OK.

It's me.

Good.

That's it.

Good.

OK?

Good.

Yeah, that's good.

It's OK.

It's OK.

It's OK...

OK.

OK, baby.

OK.

Oh, my angel.

Oh, I'm here, I'm here.

I have you.

Oh, baby...

No, Dylan!

Dylan!

What did you do, you stupid fucking idiot!

Already his body...

is ours.

Oh, sweet Antanasia.

We must...

We must regain control of the Citadel.

The rebels...

They have not won.

No-one has.

So many people on each
side, maimed, killed.

It was beautiful to behold.

And my army?

In disarray. But we will create more.

An army even greater than before

and we will crush these humans.

Crush them beyond
recognition, I promise you.

What of Vanessa, the Van Helsing woman?

Our world, it depends on her.

I will track her myself.

But now we must go, prepare ourselves.

Rebecca!

Rebecca?

Oh, no!

No, no...

Thank God.

Please.

Please help me.
What happened here?

Who are you?

I'm Dr Sholomenko.

You're a doctor?

Yes, and a captive of these hellhounds.

They made me do things so awful, so...

- unspeakable.
- Did you?

Did you collaborate with them?
Do their bidding?

Or did you fight back?

I did everything humanly possible
to fight against them, believe me.

But I am only one man!

- Like what?
- Let the man be!

He's obviously been through a lot.
What? What's he gone through?

We know nothing about him.
Look at his face! He's been fighting them

just like us.

Maybe so, maybe not.

She's right.

You shouldn't trust me.

I helped them.

I was a vassal for the...
It's over now, you're safe.

Thank you. Thank you, my friend.
Don't lie to him.

Nobody's safe yet.

We need your help.

Absolutely.

Anything, anything.

I'm looking for a woman
who's been held captive here.

I know who you are.

I can tell.

You're one of hers, aren't you?

- You used to be a...
- Listen!

Show us to the generators, OK?

We need to get to the boiler room.

Of course, yes.

This way.

Of course.

It's like a maze in here.

Or a trap.

There are methods even to this madness.

One just needs to know which way to turn
and which way not to.

Here we are.

This will lead us down to the world below.

No, no, no!

No!

- Damn it!
- No!

No!

Damn it!

Sorry, sorry.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Where are you going?

Keep going down.

Wait, hold on! He brought us here.
It could be a trap.

It doesn't matter.
This still has to be the way.

You ever seen a boiler room
in an attic before?

- No, but...
- Exactly.

Down we go.

Shit...

Dylan!

Wait a second!

Hey!

What is it?!

This place is like a maze, OK?
We don't have a chance in here.

Maybe we do.

Maybe we have one chance.

You drink blood now?

I need it. It centres me.

So, I guess this means I can't be turned,
at least, right?

I don't know.

You don't know? Oh, that's great.

That's... that's great.

Maybe it does, I don't know.

I know my bite can cure, but I don't know
if it does anything else.

You can always try and find out.

If I'm still around

I'd be happy to try and turn you back.

That's funny.

That's... That's really funny.

Hey, Vanessa?

There you are.

I can smell her.

Come on.

This is crazy.

This... is goddamn crazy.

Where are you, my precious?

Well, at least he didn't die in vain.

He took out that bitch first.

- Lucky?
- Hey.

What's going on here?

Taka and Brendan, they died heroes.

Yeah.

Hey, we heard explosions.
Take out the boilers?

Most of them.

What is it?

I... I don't know.

Funny, the way they're... lying there,
so close.

What's so funny about it?

They probably fought to the death.
Maybe.

Not funny, strange.

Strange? What's strange?

Who is this guy, anyways?

It doesn't matter who I am.
We're all in this together, right?

I'm just looking at the situation, right?

Brendan's been shot.

I'm just trying to figure
out what that means

because I've never seen a feeder
shoot someone before.

Look at this.

What now?

There was someone sitting here.
Where are they now?

There's a trail of blood.

Where does it go?

Look at this.

Right there.

It's this bookcase, and
it stops right here.

What is this?

Somebody help me with this?

Does somebody wanna give me a hand?

We should follow this trail of blood.

Why would we do that?

You want justice for Brendan and Taka.
Maybe this is how you get it, I don't know.

I'm looking for someone, someone important,
so this is what I'm going to do.

I don't care what you do.

See you round, I guess.

Hey, hey!

You're going with him?

Seriously? That guy is nuts.

The man's brave enough
to go down there by himself.

I think he deserves a little backup.

But if you're afraid of the dark

you should probably stay up here.
Yeah, whatever.

Yeah, that's right.

Whatever.

Oh, damn it.

Dylan!

Are you there, Dylan?

There you are.

No test today.

No experiments, my dear, I promise you.

Would you like to see Rebecca?

Shall I take you to her now?

Or perhaps you're just hungry, is that it?

I think that's what it is.

We'll take care of that, won't we?

Yes, we will.

Right now. In fact, this very moment.

That's it.

Slowly now.

The Citadel is under attack
by the resistance.

What now, master?

If Dmitri is truly wounded, like you say

now is my time to attack.

But then you'll need us.

Today, I fight and die alone.

Or I win this day, and the Citadel is mine.

Then, and only then, you will join me.

- But if...
- Dmitri killed my mother

like a coward.

And I will have my revenge.

I must...

- No...
- Wait!

Wait! Wait!

What is that?

Open the door!

Go!

Dylan...

Vanessa, stop!

Vanessa!

Vanessa, stop it!

- Vanessa, listen!
- What?

Please, stop!

OK? You're hurting yourself.
Look at your hands!

That door is solid steel.

Then help me.

- Help me!
- Vanessa, we can't!

OK?

It's getting dark out.

It's not safe.

You know the type of shit
that happens here after dark.

Fuck the dark.

We have a bond, you and I.

A kind of friendship...

I also know that you have quite the temper.

It's in your genes, I suppose.

So much work still to do

so many plans unfulfilled.

But together, you and I

the possibilities are limitless.

Dmitri, Antanasia, Rebecca...

they all thought I was a fool, a pawn.

We'll show them, won't we?

Alright, alright...

A little snack before we go.

She's not going anywhere.

What? How did you...?

We keep underestimating you.

They seem to take you for granted,
don't they?

At least I still have one ace up my sleeve.
Get your hands off her.

Not likely. You know I can do anything...

without conscience.

Stop!

OK, don't hurt h...
Then let us leave!

Not a chance. Not with Dylan.

It would seem that we are at a rather
awkward impasse.

OK...

You let her go...

and I swear I'll let you out of here alive.

Forgive me for doubting your sincerity.

Something about the blood lust
in your eyes...

You're so like them.

A perfect synthesis of human and monster.

We could have done great things together,
Vanessa.

All you had to do was accept
your true destiny.

All I care about is my daughter

and getting her out of here safely.
Please.

That's the part you don't understand.

She can't be made human again.

Yes, I can bite her. I can turn her,
like the others.

No, she's different. I changed her.

What did you do?!

Some minor modifications...

internally.

Harvested her DNA and other things.

The little girl you once knew
is gone forever.

And now, if you want her to live,
she needs to be with me.

I can care for her!

I can keep her alive!

I can...

Oh, God...

Wait, wait...

Yes.

Yes, yes...

I can feel it.

I can feel it...

Finally changing!

I was nearly there...

Nearly.

If you bite her...

she dies too.
