Van Helsing (2016–…): Season 2, Episode 8 - Big Mama - full transcript

Previously on Van Helsing...

Realise your true power,
Vanessa. Join me.

What are we doing with this key?

Keep it safe.

Argh!

We follow you.

As many as you wish.

You bite me now or I'm done.

Hiya, soldier.

Holy shit.

What's up with
Samurai Jane over there?



She's my sister.

Hey.

Go!

Axel! Axel!

Axel!

Go! Go! Go!

Axel.

Vanessa Van Helsing.

Axel!

Vanessa.

Guys.

Hey.

Hey!

Morning, sunshine.



I'm not really a morning person.

Yeah, apparently.

Hey. Come on, big fella. Get up.

Get up!

Doc. Doc.

- What the...?
- Get up.

Oh, shit.

What happened?

I'm trying to remember.

Oh, wait.

- That helicopter. Do you remember that?
- Yeah.

And Vanessa?

Oh God, that's right.

Who were they?

I don't know. Military.
You said you saw markings, right?

No, they weren't military.
Not once I got a look at them.

Then who were they?
I have no idea.

They had training.

Gassed us, scooped up Vanessa,
got out of here real quick.

So what does that mean?

Now we go follow them
and we get her back.

You bet your ass we do.

They headed north.

- What?
- End of discussion.

That's not the way they went.

I saw them go that way
right before I passed out.

OK, well I passed out after you

and I'm telling you that's not
the way they went.

Is that right?

Yeah, that's right.

Just before I went down
I saw them go south.

You were already out.

Guess that wasn't quite
the end of discussion.

Anything?

Not on the map.

Then again it's from a Shell station.

I wouldn't expect it to have
all the secret hideouts

of shadow organizations that like to run
around in black helicopters.

- Funny, army man.
- Hey.

Marine.

Oh, excuse me.

You're goddamn hilarious for a marine.

That's right.

Really?

Oh, shit.

Easy, Doc.

Even in an apocalypse a sister
can't drive a car

without getting pulled over by a 5-0.

Sorry, officers. I don't have my license

and unfortunately this thing
isn't registered.

Yeah, I didn't figure it would be.

It'd be pretty damn impressive
if it was.

Ah, fact is you folks never
broke any laws or anything.

We were just so damn
surprised to see a...

another vehicle on the road
we had to pull you over

just to check you out.

Understood.

No harm done.

Where are you headed?

Not sure, exactly.

Lost track of a friend of ours.
Trying to find her.

Thought she might try to get
above the ash and the vampires.

Maybe head for Denver.

Oh, God.

Here's another one going to Denver.

What the hell you wanna
go to Denver for?

You wanna get above the clouds

you just gotta go to
Crooked Falls, just up there.

In the mountains, safe as houses.

Well, that's what folks say, anyways.

Very interesting.

What are we doing here?

Staying cool and not getting shot.

What's your name, Sheriff?

Walt.

Sheriff Walt Turner.

I'm Axel.

This is Doc, Julius and Scarlett.

We're just passing through.

OK by us.

You know, maybe you might
wanna stop in town.

You're gonna go right by it.

We got water and all that.

Modern conveniences.

Oh, that's real nice
but I think we'll pass.

Well, I wouldn't do it for just anybody.

I mean, you all seem like good people.

And I know you are, soldier.

Where did you serve?

Iraq.

Then Afghanistan.

First division.

What else?

Goddamn.

Uh...

Look-uh, please, please, be our guest.

It'd be my honour, soldier.

Sounds good.

Could use a shower.

Yeah, no shit.

Well, what do y'all say?

Give us a little company and we'll do
you up one hell of a barbecue.

Alright.

We follow you?

Yeah! Follow us!

See what I see?

Yeah.

Food, guns, and gasoline.

The big three.

Yeah.

Glad to meet you.
Axel, isn't it?

That's right. Thanks.

Hello, miss.
I'm, uh, Danny Douglas.

I'm one of Walt's deputies.

Scarlett.

Like in "Gone with the Wind"?

No.

As in the colour of blood.

My parents were funny people.

I guess.

A pretty thing like you
shouldn't be named after blood.

And you're... Doc.

What's your name again, big fella?

- Julius.
- Like in Julius Caesar.

No, like in "Gone with the Wind".

This is one funny group. I like that.

Well, come on inside
and see our fortress.

Oh, uh, just one thing.

Uh...

We're gonna need your weapons.

All of 'em.

Uh, just until we eat
and you're on your way.

Sorry, but we gotta be
a little pre-cautious here.

It's how we've survived this long.

Look, humour me. Yeah.

Hey.

Ah, we got two!

Thanks, Julius.

Doc?

Way to go, Scarlett.

Alright, come on in.

Pre-cautious my ass.

Come on, you.

Up you come.

Thanks.

It's OK.

I got you.

You know, I keep thinking...

What?

We're gonna come around
a corner in the trail

and we're gonna see Sam
feeding on Mohamad.

I can't get that image out of my head.

God, that's bleak.

All we can do is keep going

hope we can catch up with them
and nothing bad has happened to him.

Thanks for being in this with me.

You're welcome.

Come on. Sam won't stop for anything.
We can't, either.

Shh, shh, shh.

That woman.

It's the nurse from the triage.

The one I punched.

Yeah.

And the man.

And the girl.

Callie.

You know her?

It's a long story.

Feed.

Woah.

It's alright.

No! No, not her!

Not her!

No, Scab. No.

No.

No, a bigger one.

Enough to satisfy the others.

No, no!

- No, no, no!
- Stop it!

You don't have to do this!

- No, please!
- Stop it!

We gotta help these people.

How?

It's impossible.

We gotta find a way.

What about Mohamad?

These people here now,
we help them first.

Holds up to 200,
not including staff.

We got three levels plus a sub-basement.

It's on well and septic.

We got two generators down below
and we make our own gasoline.

Nice.
Oh, no, efficient I like to think.

Built in 1935 by one of those WPA crews

so it's, you know, stylish
and built to last.

It's got reinforced concrete
two feet wide on all sides.

This thing would have held up
in Fallujah.

I don't know about that
but she's a good old girl

plus she sits on a hillside
so we got height advantage.

Can see damn near ten miles
in all directions.

OK. In you go, soldier.
Have a look at that.

Holy shit.

Come on, come on. Have a look at this.

Isn't this somethin'? Nice, huh?

This is the heart of the place.

- This is beautiful.
- Yeah.

When things went for shit
we scooped up everything we could.

It was one of them big stores just
outside of town, uh, knife and gun places

killed people we've known for 20 years.

Except they weren't people anymore.

And we, uh... we ended up
with all of this.

OK, come along. Here, we've
got more to show ya.

Come on, come on.
Whole lot of fire power.

I hate guns.

Woah, that's a blast from the past.

- What is?
- Gun-hater.

Guns are the best friends
you've got these days, little lady.

Speaking of that, Walt, do you think
we can get some rounds before we go?

We're running kinda low.

Not a chance.

Not one bullet.

Sorry about that but
we're in it to win it.

You don't get ahead by giving away
the thing in life that keeps you there.

Bullets. Bullets are life.

OK, I don't think he's
saying give them to us.

He's suggesting we make a trade.

You ain't got shit we want.

Not even your pretty face.

If you did we'd have taken it
from you already.

Mmm.

Good to know.

What I can offer you
is plenty of hot water, soap

change of clothes.

After that we'll fill your bellies

give you a good night's sleep.

Come morning we'll give you back
all your weapons

top you up with gas,
and you can be on your way.

Fair enough?

- Sounds fair.
- Good.

Now, wait till you see this.

Don't get excited. The hot water
doesn't work in the ladies.

That's all.
Oh, I could fix that for ya.

No, don't worry about it.

I'm pretty good with tools.
Yeah, I bet you are.

Yeah, your sister, we used to double up
on showers back at the hospital.

- Mmm.
- Save water and what not.

Yeah, you wish, army man.

Kinda do.

Kinda do.

- Hey-oo. Hey.
- Hey.

Thought you were one of those
knuckle-draggers.

Wouldn't want you to take a bullet
to the head for lifting a pair of jeans.

Hospitality only goes
so far, apparently.

Yeah.

Although they did say
we could take some clothes, so...

What? I'm done. I'm ready to go.

Really? That's it?
One hot shower, you're out?

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

Walt is a bit much, huh?

I don't trust him.

Come on.

He's just a big fish in a small pond.

I've met guys like him before.

Guys like that are all bark.
Maybe, maybe not.

Come on, you don't
actually think these bozos

have a real plan up
their sleeve, do you?

They're just playing at being big shots.
That's it.

OK, well they took our weapons.

Yeah, and we're gonna take theirs.

Alright, now you're talking.

Look, you wanna go, we'll go.
Yeah, I wanna go.

- Totally.
- Great.

- Right after we eat.
- What?

No, wait. You wanna stay for dinner?

Dude, I'm hungry.

Plus, it's barbecue.

Nobody does barbecue like
redneck assholes do barbecue.

- You're an idiot.
- Yeah, I might be.

Come on. Stay and prove me wrong.

This is bullshit. We gotta go now.

No hot water in the ladies room.

That's bullshit.

That's f...

Hey, nice duds.

Good. I see you found our storage area.

Yeah, thanks for that. Appreciate it.

Oh, you're welcome. Ah.

Anybody want a beer?

It still holds up
pretty good, I tell ya.

Yeah, sure. I'll take one.
Yeah, I'll take one, too.

Huh.

I haven't had a beer since 193...

Oh, uh... quite a while.

Well, you deserve one.

Ladies?

- Nah.
- Ah, your loss.

You guys gotta try this beef jerky.

They make their own jerky here,
it's delicious.

Ah, Big Mama.

Hell of a cook. Damn good cop, too.

She's been our dispatcher
for the last 20 years.

How's dinner coming, Big Mama?

It's all good.

Just need us some meat.

You got it, sweetie.

Ah, hey. You guys, uh, wanna come along?

Help out?

We're just gonna start preppin'
the roast.

Yeah, sure. Sounds great...

Why don't you just relax,
enjoy your beer?

I grew up making barbecue.

Uh, well I feel bad making you
little ladies do all the work.

Hmm, believe me, Walt,
you make us little ladies

feel a lot worse when you call
us "little ladies", so...

Oh God, I know, I know.

Sorry about that.

You wanna come along?

Welcome. Here we go.

We stop here tonight.

Master.

We should keep moving while it's dark.

The prisoners are tired.

If they die we have no food.

If we have no food

we cannot make it to
where we must travel

and it is far.

Then, master

we should rest in daylight
when it is harder for us

to move about freely.

The humans are used to resting
at night

so we rest now.

Tell them.

We rest.

See how nice the temperature is
down here?

That's all the concrete
I was tellin' you about earlier.

Wow, impressive.

Yeah, we like to think so.

Mm-hm.

It was all Walt's idea
to turn this area into a fire pit.

It was pretty damn great
when we finally did.

Oh, I can't take all the credit.

Big Mama came up
with the idea for the smoker.

Nice.

One of the best
implementations we ever did.

Woah.

Some of the best damn jerky
you're ever gonna eat in your life.

Alright, well where is this brisket at?
Let's get this shit going.

Alright.

Here, you better put those on.

You might need them
when we put the critter on the spit.

Axel?

Uh, you're gonna wanna see that.

OK.

Come on, get back, get back, get back.

She's OK. It's OK, it's OK.

You guys are eating vampires?
Oh yeah.

You never had one? Super succulent.

Are you fucking kidding me?
Look, trust me.

These things cook up
like turducken, only juicier.

Way, way juicier.

Yeah, it kinda tastes like chicken.

Well, yeah. But sweeter.
Way sweeter.

Look, are you dropping out of this?
OK, so be it.

Come on, Danny, let's go.
OK boys, in there first.

Get right to the back.

OK, in we go. Hey.

OK, round up.
Get her in the corner.

OK, hold her down.
Get that thing off.

Get it off. Come on.

Get her on the table. On the table.

Hey! Hold on to her.

Nail her down. Come on, nail her.

That's it.

Get the feet done now. Get the feet.

There.

OK, now grab a hold of the head there.

Look, you guys better move back.

This part can get a bit messy.

This... this is the messy part?

The trick is to incapacitate
just shy of total annihilation.

Just a quick shot to the front lobe.

Oh, God!

See? Not too deep and not too shallow.

Well, we're all set.

Let's sizzle.

Yeah, we're looking forward to it, Walt.

Where are you going?

That was a good one.
OK, fire it up.

Oh, yes.

Help me.

OK, let's go! Run!

- Run!
- Go!

Run for your lives!

Do it now!

Go! Go!

Shh.

No!

It matters not. Let them go.

Nothing will stop our pursuit
of this Scarlett.

Follow me.

- Hey, guys.
- Hey.

They gave us a deck of cards.

Doc showed me a game.

- Cool.
- Pretty fun.

We're going. Now.

What? Why?

Because these dudes
are cannibals, that's why.

- Cannibals?
- Yeah.

What, like... they wanna... eat us?

Nah... no, not so much.

They eat vampires.

They cook them alive.

What?

Apparently it's the new white meat.

Oh, my God.

I'd ease off the beef jerky
if I were you.

I hope you all like slaw
cause I made up a ton of it.

- Uh...
- Great.

- Excellent.
- Thank you.

They got a feral on a spit downstairs
they're roasting under a UV light.

That's our big feast.

I say we get the hell outta here
while we still can.

Not before grabbing a few things first.

Oh, shit.

What's the plan?

Scarlett and I will hit up the armoury.

You guys grab your stuff, head to Wanda

wait for us there.

What if we get caught?
Then what?

Don't get caught.

Here we go. Nice and cool.

God, I love this place.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

And you and you and you.

OK, come on. Let's go.

Yeah, let's go, let's go, let's go!

Come to Mama, you little bastard!

Even you don't deserve that.

You spoiled dinner!

You stupid bitch!

Keep moving!

- Keep moving!
- Oh, God!

Where's Callie?

Callie!

Everybody's scattering.
We can't keep them together.

Look, we gotta help
as many as we can, OK?

That's all we can do.

- Callie!
- Callie!

What about Mohamad? We said we'd
keep looking for him after...

He's gone. Mohamad is gone.
You can't know that.

Look, he's dead, alright?

Or he's one of them.

That's the truth. We both know it.

I have to live in the present now.

Be with the living.

I can't be in the past anymore.
I won't do it. Let's go!

Where are they? They should
have been here by now.

They'll be here.

We gotta go now!

Got to go, got to go.

Where's Julius?

You haven't seen him yet?
He left ahead of me.

Shit!

Wait, are you sure?

How can I possibly get that wrong?

Alright, shut up, sit down,
he'll be here.

He's coming. He's coming.
Come on.

Hey, you're late.

Let's go. Let's go! We gotta go now!

Jesus!

Open the damn door!

Shit.

Open the door!

Open it!

Hey Walt.

Now which one of you sons of bitches
gutted Big Mama?

So...

you come into our home

after a kind and generous
invitation on my part.

You come in here
and you kill one of ours

steal from us... try to, anyway.

You kill.

You steal.

You take food out of our mouths

and for what?

For one of them.

I don't get it.

But I'm gonna.

You are gonna explain yourselves

or die trying.

Might as well start with you.

Your type's always ready
to give up the info

when push comes to shove.

My type?

You know what I mean.

Now talk.

OK.

I got a couple words for you.

I knew it.

Eat shit.

There. A couple of words.

That was... that was good.

You're gonna regret that.

I guess I'm doubly gonna
regret that, huh?

You get it, boys? Doubly?

That means twice.

Well, looky there,
this asshole can count.

Well, to two.

Boy, you are really asking for it.

And I'm gonna give it to ya.

Stand 'em up.

Now, I want some answers
or I'm gonna turn this marine into a gimp.

At the count of three.

One... two...

Shit!

Three.

Tell them to put the guns
down and let us go. Now.

Just go ahead and blow his brains out.

Let me guess.

Twelve gauge?

It's a good guess.

Exactly.

Put it down nice and slow.

Get down.

Somebody start talking!

Don't hurt her!

I'll tell ya what you wanna know.

You wanna know why I killed her?

I killed her because I couldn't
stand to see what she was doing

to a vampire.

Why?

Julius?

Don't.

Because...

I used to be one.

Now, what the hell did you just say?

What he means is...

Exactly what I said.

I was a vampire.

I was a ruthless killing machine.

Was.

Until she changed me.

This is bullshit.

No, it's not.
He's telling the truth.

She has abilities or... or powers,
or something

and she's done it before.

Done what? To who?

To me.

And him.

And of course him.

It's true.

I've seen her do it.

She really can turn them back.

This is total horse shit!

You can't come back,
not after you've been...

Yes, you can!

Just... easy.

Just look at my hands, OK?

Look. Look at my hands.
There's a scar on them.

It's not done by a fire,
it's done by the sun.

The way vampires get burned.

Look!

Well, it's possible, I guess, right?

Yeah. Maybe.

Vampires, huh?

Well, I'll be.

You...

I wonder what they taste like.

One-time vampires? Hmm?

That's a damn good question,
Danny Boy.

I think we oughtta find out, huh?

And I'm gonna start with you.

Fine, start with me.

I am not even a vampire.

We'll see about that.

Set up the roof, boys, for the test.

Let's go.

A view to die for, huh?

Now then, as you can see,
we're giving you each a chance

more than you were gonna give us

and a hell of a lot better
than you did to Big Mama.

How is it better than
what happened to Big Mama?

Because it just is.

This is justice.

Huh?

But like old-school type justice.

What, like the wild west?

No, no, no, no, no.

Older than that.
Like back in ancient times.

Witches in Salem, that sort of thing.

I don't quite follow. You will.

Ready boys?

Toss that bitch who stabbed me
over the edge!

No, no!

- Woah!
- Wait a second, wait!

What is the plan here?

She says she is not a vampire.

So we toss her over the side.

If she dies from the hanging
then she was right.

She's an actual person.

But if she lives

then she's a vampire.

And we eat her.

We had to use it one time
on this old man

we just wasn't sure about.

And?

Ah, it turns out he was just drunk.

Wow. That story's a two out of ten.

You guys are a bunch of complete idiots.

A vampire will definitely die
if you toss it over and hang it.

I mean, it might take a little bit
longer but it will definitely die.

Oh, well, uh, we'll just have to see then,
won't we, Miss Smarty Pants?

Go for it!

What the hell was that?
Shit, this isn't good.

That's the Sisterhood.

They're killers.

They're worth 20 of you guys, each.

I can't see a goddamn thing.

Yeah, well I can.

You can see in the dark?
I guess so.

She can see in the dark.
She's a vampire.

I'm not a goddamn vampire!
Look, it doesn't matter!

We put up with this stuff
for three years and we're still here.

That's right, lady.

Ain't nothing we can't kill
once we get started.

Plus, we've got the advantage
of this rooftop.

Oh, shit!

Sorry, I... I couldn't really hear
what he was saying

because he has a spear
made of bone in his chest.

Come on, Chief, your call.

What's it gonna be?

Hurry up!

Come on, please. Just let us go.

Without us you're all gonna die.

Take your time, asshole.

No rush.

Boys?

Let's go down and show
that bloodsucker who's boss.

Don't be an idiot.

OK? I've had a run-in
with the Sisterhood

and I'm telling you right now

you do not let us go
we're all gonna die.

Little lady, we didn't survive
the rising

by shaking in our boots
every time a vampire appears.

This is different.

Not much meat on them bones.

At least cooking time will be quick.

Let's go get dinner.

You go down there, you're gonna die.

Danny, keep an eye on 'em.

If they get out of line

stretch 'em.

Such a shame to waste such
a beautiful face like yours.

You know, the trick is just get up on it
before you go cold.

Well, that is the only chance you'd have
to get up on it, dipshit.

What about you, big boy? Huh?

You got something funny to say?

You touch me, I'll beat you
to death with your own fists.

I think that's pretty funny.

Don't you?

What's a little filly like you
doing out here all alone?

This sucker's brave, huh?

Stupid.

But brave.
