Van Helsing (2016–…): Season 2, Episode 6 - Veritas Vincit - full transcript

Previously on Van Helsing...

I ain't gonna make it there.

Yes, you will. We both will.

If we don't find Vanessa soon, I'm done.

I need a legion.

That legion will be you now.

They're not even dreams anymore.
They're visions.

The red door.

I see them, too.

- Hey!
- What is this?

I had a dream and I saw it
so I drew a picture of it.



I know where this is.

♪ Big Rock Candy Mountain... ♪

♪ Big Rock Candy Mountain... ♪

Hey, doll.

Susan.

What is this?

Everything's OK.

I'm here.

No.

You're gone.

You were so close

and you didn't even know it.

You woke me up.

Now I wanna do the same for you.



What?

The truth.

It's right here waiting for you.

Always has been.

Look.

I've seen this in my dreams.

What does it mean?

Only you can answer that.

Go through.

- See what's on the other side.
- See what's on the other side...

Am I dreaming?

The key to who you are...

Who I am...

is inside there.

Don't you wanna know?

Open it.

See for yourself.

Are you OK?

I was there.

With Susan, and...

Here, where we bedded down.

Wait, did you say Susan?

That must have been
one hell of a dream.

What else did you dream of?

Hmm?

I know where I have to go.

Wait. Vanessa!

Here we go again.

But why? I don't understand.

- What bunker?
- This place we held up in.

An underground lab.

I thought it was safe,
but safe doesn't exist anymore.

So why go back there?

Because Susan showed it to me.

What I thought was Susan...

The dream. You saw the red door again.

I have to find out what's behind it.

I didn't find it the first time
we were down there.

It must be in some area
I never explored before.

I've never seen that red door
before I started having the visions.

Before I was...

I never dreamed, so...

But what about Susan, or the creature?

Do you see any of that?

No. No, just the door.

But I gotta tell ya

even though it doesn't make
any sense to me, it, uh...

It sure feels good to dream again.

You gave that back to me.

Alright, well if we're gonna figure
this out, we need to get moving.

I just gotta get some water.
I wouldn't drink that water.

No telling how long that corpse

has been rotting in it.

Yeah. Right.

What is it?

A feeling.

Like a ghost walking over a grave.

Susan.

Vanessa!

Vanessa, wait.

It's... you.

Doc.

Thank God, we found you!

It's a miracle...

Who's this?

I'm... Julius.

Jesus. But I... I thought you were...

Yeah. Ain't that somethin'.

You said, "Thank God we found you".

Who's "we"?

Axel.

Hey, Sleeping Beauty.

She told me you were dead.

Death would have been easier than this.

Back at Eden, you never said anything.
No...

I didn't know about this.

How did you find him?

You think she wanted to?

You can fix him.

I don't know.

I don't know.

- What?
- I don't kno w.

Hey, Vanessa, just turn him back
like you turned me...

Hey! Back off.

There's something you don't know.

I'm sorry.

- Don't.
- For Dylan.

Julius told me.

I don't need your sympathy.

Especially not yours, Doc.

Axel wouldn't even be a vampire...
Axel wouldn't have survived this long

if it weren't for me.

What does that make you, a hero?

What happened to the others?

Mohamad, Susan?

Sam?

Do you actually care?

Listen, I messed up, OK?

I own that.

- Good for you.
- No.

No, I need you to hear me
on this, Vanessa.

I don't want anything from you.

Your forgiveness, your pity.

You can go on hating me
if that's what you wanna do

and you have every right to,
but Axel?

I can't change what I did to him

but you can.

I'm begging you, Vanessa.

You know, you have no idea
what it's like

to watch someone you love
die in your arms

because of something you did.

He'll die if you don't.

He won't even feed off of my blood.

Wow.

I wish we had never found each other.

I don't blame you.

Axel, don't.

- Bite me.
- No.

- Bite me or I'll bite you.
- No.

- Either way.
- No.

- I can't live like this.
- No.

Cure me or kill me.

Don't.

Don't make me hurt you.

Look, I get it.

The choice that you're making.

OK, I... I need you to stay here.

What about the red door? The bunker?
Yeah, whatever's down there

I need to face it alone.
You need my help and you know it...

Look, there's a military base nearby, OK?

Doc will show you the way. I need you
to get fuel and a vehicle.

She's not gonna just... leave him there.

Well, then help her out, OK?

Do what you gotta do.

This was all I could find.

Julius may have been willing to feed upon
the sick and crippled.

Not me.

I will find better.

No.

You will do better.

I've seen things.

Memories.

Like this red door, in my dreams.

Dreams?

Dreams are for humans.

You no longer have dreams.

Do not speak as if you know anything.

You have not seen what I have seen.

You have not suffered the pain I have.

You have not cowered in fear
in the presence of them.

The woman

Van Helsing

has changed our destiny.

Our world now hangs in her balance.

All that we have planned

our dominance

is upended by her.

But she is still only... one.

We are...

It is not her that I fear.

It is what she has awakened.

An Elder.

We must find him before she does

and use it against her.

Travel now.

Find the sisterhood and seek
an allegiance with them.

You... you banished her and her kind.

They are your sworn enemy.

Between life, death, and revenge

which would you pick?

Now, go...

and do my bidding.

And do not fail.

Is it working?

No.

It's something about our blood.
It seems to change once Vanessa turns us.

Change how?

Well, Axel says it tasted like... terrible.

It's not bringing him back.
It's not sustaining him.

God, if... if I could
just have my microscope

I could see what's going on.

Here. Put some pressure on that.

Axel?

Axel.

Oh, God. No... No! Axel!

Please, no.

Axel, wake up!

OK...

Where's Vanessa?

She went to some place called "the farm"?

Said that there was something
that she needed to find.

Hey!

- Where are you going?
- After her.

She's not gonna help you.

- Yeah, we'll see.
- You're not going anywhere.

Really? Again?

Alright, go ahead.

Axel, wait!

There's nothing you can do.

So, anyway, I used to box back in the day

pretty good, too.

So I thought I'd make these babies.

Wrapped metal around 'em...

We gotta go after Axel.

Look, you said it yourself.

Without Vanessa, he doesn't have a chance.

Well, without fuel and a vehicle,
neither do we.

That's a stupid plan.

Well, I didn't hear you come up
with a better plan.

You're going back to the military base
to find fuel

I'm not sure is actually there...

It's worth a shot. - ...In a place
that was swarming with ferals

the last time.

We'll get some diesel and this,
uh, ambulance you call Wanda

come back, get Vanessa,
and we just keep on going.

There's no guarantee we will ever find her
again and then what're we gonna do?

Are you always this optimistic?

I'm a cloud with no silver lining.

Deal with it.

Well, isn't that ironic?

Now, this right here?

This right here is a good omen.

Ah...

Come on over here.

You gotta feel this.

Come on over here.

Stand right here.

Ha.

Stand right here.

Right... there.

Feels good, doesn't it?

Walk in the light again.

If you break out into "Here Comes the Sun"
I'm gonna leave your ass behind.

We're here.

See? We make a good team. Yeah.

A regular Jay-Z and Beyoncé.

You OK?

- Doc...
- What?

Don't move.

Oh, shit.

OK...

What is this?

It's... it's some kind of home-made
explosive.

Gorman, that stupid son of a bitch.

Julius, listen to me.

If I move and that pin pops out,
we're goners.

So don't move.

Here's what I need you to do.

Wha... what?

I need you to cut the wire.

The wire, cut the wire.

- Yeah.
- I don't know if I have anything

to cut the wire with.

I don't... I don't have anything
to cut the wire.

Figure it out. Just do something.

OK...

No, no, no, no, no, not now.

OK, OK, OK!

Oh, shit!

OK, OK, wait!

Dammit! Just wait a second.

- We don't have a second!
- OK.

Don't move. I got an idea.

Just cut the damn wire.

It's OK, wait...

Julius, they're getting closer.

I just gotta wrap this so the pin stays in.
Shit, they're coming closer!

- Don't move, don't move!
- I need to get my gun, Julius!

Don't move! Just wait a second,
I almost got it.

Shit, come on!

- Dammit!
- They're coming!

Who the hell are you?

I was just gonna ask you the same thing.

How'd you get in here?

I followed you.

Been on your trail for a while now.

Well, you found me.

Now what?

I have heard a lot about you.

Your skills.

You've left a lot of dead vampires behind.

- Is that a problem?
- No.

The fewer, the better.

I've killed quite a few vampires myself.

Good for you.
Look, I got things I need to do.

Yeah, what the hell is this place?

I mean, this is military.

Why are you even down here?

Why do you wanna know?

Come on.

I just travelled so far to find you.

Please, just tell me one thing.

Can you really turn vampires
into humans with a bite?

Well, that answers that.

No wonder Dmitri wanted you so bad.

Vanessa, run!

No!

Back off.

He's not a threat.
I don't care who he is to you.

He's another bloodsucker to me.
I owe him.

He kept me alive.

Well, consider me confused.

You either kill them or cure them.

But if you won't do either...

Not bad.

Well, a little predictable.

There's only one thing
that heals like that.

Well, now what?

You gonna leave him alone?

For now.

I'm Scarlett Harker.

You must be the legendary Vanessa, huh?

What are you doing here?

She's looking for the red door.

Red door?

It's here?

You've seen it, too?

Except it's not red.

Come on.

I'll show you.

Axel!

- Vanessa...
- I'm still not gonna bite you.

Then maybe you should just let her kill me.

There's gotta be another way.

What're you doing back in this joint? We
barely made it outta here the first time.

You read my file.

The one you decided to lie about
and hide from me?

Why did you do that?

I needed to know who you really were.

Just rest.

Then get outta here.

No, I'm coming with you.

No, the radiation.

You're too weak.

Yeah, the door...

don't open it.

Maybe there are answers in there
for both of us.

It's not what you think.

You are forbidden.

Our kind and yours

two-hundred years of blood feud.

That could end... now.

Deception!

Truth.

Why does Julius dare to send some rat?

Julius is gone.

I serve Dmitri.

A misguided and fatal change in loyalties.

Did you come here to die?

To talk.

- With Maya.
- Assassin!

Messenger.

Nothing more.

Maya shall decide your fate.

For your sake

beg for a quick death.

Bind him!

Bring him!

There's an easy way to end his pain.

Like I said, not gonna happen.

I don't get it.

If you can turn them, then why not him?

Oooh, radiation?

How much are we talking about?

Didn't affect me.

But in time, all my friends got sick.
Are you sure you wanna risk that?

If it stops these crazy dreams, yes.

Let's go.

There.

Now we won't get trapped inside.

This is it.

What you saw, too?

It's key coded.

We could blow it open.

It looks too thick.

My file.

It had a number on the top.

Badge name.

Van Helsing.

Try it.

Holy shit.

Where'd you learn to fight like that?

My parents.

They were... unique.

You know, somehow they knew that this
vampire apocalypse was coming.

- How?
- Never said.

They just said it was
for my own protection.

I mean, they trained me every possible way
that they could.

Hunting, killing, traps,
combat, weapons. All of it.

Look, everybody thought
we were crazy, you know?

They called us The Doomsdays.
Mm.

But then it happened
and so karma's a real bitch.

What about your parents?

My dad staged our deaths
when I was 15 years old.

House fire.

Said it was safer that way.
From what?

The rising hadn't happened.
Hadn't it?

I was almost killed by one.

I never understood why it came
looking for us.

Didn't your dad know something?
I don't know.

I mean, he never trusted anybody.

Including me, I guess.

And then he killed himself.

I think he was guilt-ridden.

Wondering if he'd gotten it all wrong.

Anyway, what about you?

Orphan.

Mum died giving birth to me.

Or at least that's what I was told.

What the hell were they
doing in this place?

What is that?

Were they breeding vampires?

Why would the military do that?

It doesn't even look
human, it's more like...

it's like a hybrid.

We have to get out of here.

- I don't want answers like these.
- No, no, no!

No, you don't understand.

What they were doing here was evil.

Just horrific.

It's just like what Dmitri was doing
at the Citadel.

What they wanted to do to me.

Do you...

do you think that you're from here?

No.

I mean, I couldn't be, right?

There's only one way to find out.

We gotta keep going.

Hey, listen to me.

We both had visions, right?

We were both drawn here.

So we're gonna figure this out,
whatever it is

together.

OK.

Hey, do you wanna come
and take a look at this?

- It doesn't feel right.
- Yeah, sure.

You know, I never did ask you.

Before the rising, what did you do?

I was a doctor.

A pathologist.

You know, dead bodies.

Oh.

Yeah, well, that makes sense.

The hell is that supposed to mean?

Well, it's... you're not really that
comfortable with the living.

You know, like, talking and being friendly.

It could be infected.

Oh.

Wouldn't that be ironic, if you died
of blood poisoning?

Heh.

What're you doing?

It's antibiotics.
Yeah, you know what?

I'm actually good.

Wait a minute.

You're not...
I just... always...

hated those things.

First the IV and now this tiny, little...?

Look, it's not that funny.

No, no, it's not.

It's not funny. It's not funny.

It isn't.

I mean, it's either that or...

we're gonna have to
amputate eventually, so...

Come on.

I was just, you know, a pretty sickly kid
growing up.

Doctors used to stick me with needles
all the time.

I was like a human pincushion.

Come on, hurry up.

Get it over with.

It's... it's done.

Oh.

It still has power.

Why are
some parts intact and other parts

are totally taken apart?

Is that working?

Looks that way.

Try the code from the door.

Well, what's this for?

What did you just do?

I've been here before.

When I was a little girl.

I was here.

I remember.

Well, you just started the computer
with your thumb print

and you accessed that door
with your name.

You know what Dmitri told me?

He said that when my mother discovered
what I was...

she ran.

Maybe I am from that nursery.

Your abilities aren't natural.

Maybe you were created.

Yeah. Like some lab rat.

- No, like...
- Some goddamn experiment.

Vanessa.

Where are you going?

Wait a minute.

I know this place.

I thought we were on the same page.

- Abbey...
- Please, don't touch me.

I will break your arm, I swear to God.

Easy.

You don't recognise the opportunity here.

A child isn't a specimen.

Something you can study
and take samples from.

I won't allow it.

Mummy?

I'm coming, sweetheart.

We're done here.

That's not up to you.

Don't threaten me.

You know what I'm capable of.

Yes.

Van Helsings.

The whole family tree.

I've... I've seen that mural before.

I need you to remember
a little secret, alright?

Just between us.

The key.

You remember I told you about the key?

Well, I hid it.

Up there, in the mural,
behind the mountain. You see it?

Whoopsie.

It's the key to everything, OK?

So it's safer here
than if we bring it with us.

Alright?

You mustn't ever tell.

Nobody can have it
but a Van Helsing, OK?

If a day ever comes...

- Oh...
- What's wrong, Mama?

We didn't plan things turning out like this

but I'm gonna protect you,
whatever that takes

and whatever I have to do.

I need you to understand.

Hey, I love you.

With all my heart.

Vanessa and Scarlett.

You'll always be my little girls.

No.

No.

I have parents.

Charles and Ella Harker.
Those are my parents.

I'm not... we're not sisters.

- Van Helsings.
- No, it's a goddamn lie.

I remember it, too.

No...

This is where we began.

No, no, it's not.

It's not.

It's probably the radiation, you know?

The... the visions are just hallucinations.

The mural, the key.

You've seen it before, haven't you?

- I don't...
- The creature?

He led us here.

He wanted us to understand who we are.

I know where she hid it.

So do you.

It's there.

Behind the...

The mountain.

It's real.

It's actually real.

We were drawn here
to realize who we are.

And this key...

No, no, no!

No!

Don't.

Hello?

Vanessa, is it you?

Who is this?

I 'Il explain e verything.

Thank Go d you're alive.

We will...

Hello?

Hello?

Shit.

We gotta go. Let's go.

Who was that?

I don't know.

This is a nightmare.

Maybe we're just waking up.

Axel!

Hey!

Axel!

- Good, he must have gotten out.
- No, maybe he led them here.

Did you ever consider that maybe
this is a trap?

No. Not Axel.

And here we are.

Home at last.
