Jolene and Flesh try to escape the Warden. Hansen meets with Sam and the Vampires to consult on their plan to free the Dark One.

Previously on Van Helsing:

My name is Max by the way,
Max Borman.

That's her, that's Jennifer.

That's my wife.

Help, help, help me!

Shh!

Oh, I love this godamn
apocalypse.

Ahhhhhh!!!

Denver sent us.

We are here to awaken
Michaela.

The great mother of
the Sisterhood.



Axel, come on!

When did you hear?

Excuse me,

I... I... I didn't know you werearriving so soon.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean
to interrupt you

during your beauty regimen.

I only take the youth serum
as a test subject.

You must regret not starting
it sooner.

I'll ask you again.

When did you hear?

Word came yesterday morning.

And there is no doubt?

It was a house fire.

She was going by the name
of Scarlett Harker.



And what about the other twin?

Vanessa?

We're still looking.

She was given over to social
services years ago, but-

I know how you lost her.

I know how you let
the mother waltz in

and take the two of them.

I know how you failed to find
them year after year.

So what I need to know is
did you finally track her?

Hmm.

I have put up with
your incompetence

for far too long now.

I have done everything
in my power.

There are other forces at work,as you know.

Here's what I know.

We need a Van Helsing
to raise the Dark One

and you've lost them all.

No!

That's not true.

You're lying!

I'm telling the truth,
I swear.

There are more Van Helsings.

Or at least there can be.

What do you mean by
"can be"?

I harvested everything I need
years ago.

I always have a little nest eggset aside.

You took the eggs
from the twins,

but they were just children.

No matter the age,
the ova are fully formed.

Who else knows?

No one.

Not even them.

Line up some military
volunteers, male.

Virile.

I want a variety of seed.

And what's left of
the Dark One's blood.

An heir and a spare.

Where'd you come from?

Hey.

What're you doing here?

Somebody's probably wondering
where you are.

Is that for me?

That's uh... that's really
kind of you.

Thank you.

Does someone here take care
of you?

-You should probably-
-Owen!

Owen, get away from him.
He could hurt you.

Is he yours?

Don't ever go back there, okay?

Jen!

I didn't mean to hurt them.

It wasn't me!

It was the virus!

Just wait.

I never meant to hurt them.

It wasn't me,
it was the virus.

You were unhappy
before that day.

You hated being a husband
and father.

You blamed me and the kids for
wrecking your life every day.

You came home and you killed
your children

because you wanted to.

Is he ours?

Keep your socks, Violet.

I can't do anything for you.

You said that before
and came through.

I- I don't know what happened
to the doctor.

She was just gone one day
when I started shift

and I don't ask questions.

And Julius?

He's gone.

Broke out.

That's all I know.

So, you had the amulet
and you let the Van Helsings

take it from you.

Who was it that let them
mutants run wild,

polluting the food source?

It's time to join
the modern world.

Leave the coffins
and capes behind.

Blasphemy.

Keeping the traditions is
the only road to survival.

These so-called daywalkers,
they are an abomination.

I've created a stable
food source.

Humans that are resistant
to death and injury,

who heal from wounds,

that we can feed on again
and again and again!

That taste like shit.

Oh, you didn't know?

Raising the Dark One is the
answer to all of our problems.

But when the time is right.

I don't remember requiring
your permission, Michaela,

or your presence.

Hmm.

The Dark One expects us
to be there, Bathory.

Yes, of course.

But we must first hunt downthe Van Helsing and the amulet.

The Sisterhood will track them.

No.

I'll hunt Vanessa.

She's mine.

No.

You will remain here.

You're too important to risk andwe need the Van Helsing alive.

Be a good little boy.

Do as your keeper says.

Meow.

Besides, do we really wanna draganother Van Helsing back here,

kicking and screaming?

Although that does
sound delightful.

What are you hiding?

Another scientific nightmare?

Not exactly.

Let's just call it an ace
in the hole.

Get up.

You've gotta have more
than that.

Get up!

How can this be?

I'm a scientist.

There are ways.

But you've kept her a secret
this whole time.

Why?

It was the best way
to protect her.

Locking it in a cage will keep
it safest of all.

She's in a cage.

She just hasn't noticed
till recently.

The blood of such a warrior
will please the Dark One.

The sacrifice of a mighty
Van Helsing.

And a cherished one?

Get up!

Get up!

To pander to our dear one
you risk everything.

Selfish and reckless.

You made no other?

None that survived.

Is it aware of its lineage?

That there's another Van Helsingout there to be found?

Vanessa?

Mmm.

Violet has no idea.

She believes herself to be
my adopted daughter.

Get up!

Up!

Thank you for the new trainer
but I'd like my old one back.

This one's broken.

Make sure you get everything.

I want these reports
and all of those computers.

Hey.

Uh, I'm not interrupting
something, am I?

Uh, no.

Not at all, Violet.

I was hoping we could have
another one of our chats

before I go but um... were you
looking for Dr. Carol?

Yeah.

No. Not really.

I mean, I know
that she's not here.

That my- my dad took
her away-

Do you know where?

So why are you here?

She was working on something.

Something for me, kind of.

It's no big deal, I don't-

I don't want to interrupt.

I'll see you soon.

You know where to find me.

Violet.

I think it's only fair
that I give you a heads up.

About what?

I'm leaving in the morning

and I'm taking this evidence
with me.

Evidence?

I've been looking into
your father's past project,

elements of which have been
hidden from us.

I won't go into the details,
they're too disturbing.

Let's just say I'm not sure
your father is

the man you think he is.

What are you talking about?

What did you find?

I just wanted you
to be prepared.

I'm gonna call for an enquiry
into all of your father's work

going back decades.

And unfortunately that's gonna
impact you, too.

You are like a dream come true
for a guy like me.

No food, no water...

Argh!

And nothin' seems to kill you,
does it?

Argh!

You know, if you just tell me
why you're here...

I'll ease up.

Everything can turn out well.

Exactly why are you here?

All the time in the world,
my friend.

All the time in the world.

Yee-ahhh!

I'm not here to help, I just
want simple answers.

Look, I'll tell you whatever
you need.

Thank you.

You were a vampire
and you're not anymore.

That's not possible.

I was turned by a...
by a Van Helsing.

I don't know what you're
talking about.

No, it's complicated but it...
it... it's true,

it happened.

Is that why you can't die?

No, I... I think I can die, it'sjust I heal from most things.

I was bitten by something calleda daywalker.

So you're still a vampire.

No.

No, no, no, no, no,
that's not true.

I'm human.

Let me help you!

Let me help you get out of here.

You and your son.

You destroyed my life.

And you want me
to just trust you?

No.

No, you don't have to trust me.

With another child?

I can't have you anywhere
near him.

Then I'll stay here.

Jolene will get you out.

You and him.

You're right.

I was unhappy.

I was depressed.

I was stupid.

I didn't know what I had.

I'm sorry.

Jen, I'm sorry.

He won't leave without you.

He said to leave him behind.

What?

No.

No way.

We're all getting out
of here together.

Think of your son.

I am.

Has he heard from Denver?

It's beginning to look like
the rumours are right.

Everybody's dead and gone.

What, you don't believe me?

You're the one selling
dog shit around.

Something might have happened
in Denver,

but it doesn't mean
everyone's dead.

Yeah, well I face facts.

I don't live in a dream world.

Neither do I, but I don't
kill hope before it's dead.

My girlfriend's a survivor.

He's in a shit mood, FYI.

Yeah, what else is new?

Look, Jeremy, I need you.

I need someone on the inside
if we're gonna get a chance

to get out of here,

and you're as good as dead
if you stay behind.

He will kill you.

You know that, right?

Save it for the Warden.

Well, there you go.

Good as new.

Nothing broken,
nothing drunk.

It's a deal too good
to be true.

I don't do returns, man.

What do you think this is,
a Wal-Mart or something?

It's not a return,
it's a trade.

Max is the only one I know

that'll fork out
for the real stuff.

Don't exactly get high-end
clientele in there.

You know what I'm saying?

You got water, right?

You can squeeze as many bottlesout of that as you need.

Yeah, and end up
with a bullet in my head?

Even drunks know when
they don't get drunk.

Pass.

Alright, look.

I'll sweeten the deal.

Seriously?

How dry is this tobacco?

Does it even stay in the papers?

It's all I got, man.

I'm in a bit of a jam.

Yeah.

It's the apocalypse.

Everybody's in a jam.

And you'll be in an even
bigger one if Max finds out

you swapped out his liquor.

Listen, I... I'm trying
to set something right.

Something I turned
my back on.

I just need a little help.

-Okay.
-Okay.

I'll take everything.

Plus the boombox in your truck.

Fine.

Plus all the cassettes.

Aaaagh.

You're killing me.

Guns are clean,
ready to go.

I'd uh, give up the smokes
with all that C4 in there.

Yeah, they're all yours.

And I want those.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
I- I gotta keep these.

I need these.

That'll cost you then.

Kidding. Joke.

"Implantation of a fertilized
embryo."

"Experiment summary."

"Two females."

"Male military donors."

Oh my god.

Oh my god.

Dad?

Well, I told you
I had an ace in the hole.

I have to hand it
to you, I had no idea.

Tonight we celebrate.

We feast.

Ah, there's still
much to do.

Relax for once, Willem.

Show your true form.

I miss him.

Willem.

Hmm. Show me.

Hm.

It's been a long time
since someone called me

by my real name.

It must be exhausting,

hiding in this disguise
for decades on end.

Centuries, actually.

And yet I've grown accustomed
to being... this.

Oh, don't worry.

I will stay true to the cause nomatter how personal the costs.

Be true to oneself.

It's my only guiding star.

Yes, I can see that.

But tonight we celebrate.

To the rise of the Dark One.

To the rise of
the Dark One.

Would the fourth
do the honours?

My pleasure.

Gimme, gimme.

Yip!

Oh, screw that shit.

Oh.

You know, I've been meaning
to ask you,

how are the mines?

Best job I ever had.

You are something else.

You know that?

Used to call what
she's got "moxie".

What do they call it now?

Annoying.

Heard from Denver yet?

No.

I have not heard
from goddamn Denver

because no one can fix
the goddamn radio.

This guy Jer brought in
to fix it

used to fix computers
for a living.

A useful job nowadays,
I'm sure.

There's a lot of that going
around these days.

What did you say you did
before this, again?

International shipping.

UPS driver?

Drugs.

Counterfeit goods,
that sort of thing.

You know, I'm starting to thinkmaybe Blak-Tek did send you.

I told you.

They want me to report on you.

Keep me alive
and you're safe.

Hmm.

Are you reporting on me
right now?

How?

They haven't even
contacted me yet.

Yeah, that's what you say.

What difference does it make

whether I've talked to them
or not?

Either way I'll cover for you.

Or maybe I should just
kill you all right now

and get the hell out of here.

You think you can outrun
Blak-Tek?

Jesus Christ, man.

They've got helicopters,
they've got spies everywhere.

Mmm.

Not where I'm going.

Oh.

Uh, east, right?

Where all the shipments go?

You think Blak-Tek are
the only ones with spies?

I've got spies right in Blak-Tek

that'll tell me your story
is all bullshit.

Ask them then, if you think
they'll tell you the truth.

What the hell is wrong with you,huh?

Get that goddamn thing working,you worthless piece of shit!

Whew.

Jer.

Why don't you fix it?

I'm not a fixer kinda guy.

Well, I told you to find someoneto fix it, you didn't,

so now you fix it.

I'll fix it.

Wow, is there anything
you can't do?

Seriously, you're like a-

like a miracle with an answer
to all the questions.

You know what?

Fine.

Fix it.

But if you don't have Denver
on the other end

in, oh, I don't know, an hour,
you're dead.

Deal.

Help him clean up the body,
why don't you?

Make sure he doesn't bleed
on the floor,

for Christ's sake.

You could have let him
just kill me.

I need you.

Oh, and here I was so touched.

I need you to save Phil
and his family.

Promise me.

You can still get out of this.

You're their only chance.

Get them out.

You want us to get him out
of here for you, sir?

Yeah.

Just uh, make sure you don'ttrack any shit across the floor,

and she stays here.

Come, come.

You do not have
a goddamn clue

how to fix that thing,
do you?

Not a clue.

Just wanted to save that guard,get him out of here.

Why?

You got something for that guy?

Still not my type.

Well, let's talk about
your type.

I don't really think I care
if you're telling me the truth

because you lie
like a á*áá*á!

And I like that.

I'd kill you in your sleep
the first chance I got.

Hey yo, Maxie!

Uh... sorry about that.

Didn't mean to interrupt.

Axel!

Unbelievable.

I got back as quick
as I could.

Brought you that whisky
you were looking for.

You are the best.

Best ever.

Can't wait for you to try it.

It's the bomb.

What's going on?

Quiet! Shut up!

What're you doing?

I'm getting you out of here.

Look, I'm not going anywhere.

I'm getting Jennifer
and Owen out, too.

Listen, if you told him anythingabout my wife

I swear to god I'll-

Shut up! Shut up!

I'm doing it 'cause I promised
your friend, Jolene

and I can use a guy like you
on my side out there.

Where is she?

She's with the Warden.

I promised her I'd get
you guys out.

It's a nice thought but I'm notgoing anywhere without her.

Jesus Christ,
just shut up and go!

Aaah.

You sure you don't want some?

Nah, I gotta get some sleep,
man.

It's been days.

Oh, come on, just one more
drink, one more.

Alright, one more drink.

I'll have another.

Can you believe her?

She's got chutzpah.

Alright.

For you.

Here you go.

She's been talking shit
about Denver.

Has she, now?

Yeah.

I'm gonna kill her, I just
haven't decided how yet.

Where are you taking us?

Just come with me, go, go.

Please don't hurt my son,
I'll do whatever.

Quick, quick, quick!

Axel's truck! Axel's truck!

Come on, let's go!

I am not going anywhere
with him!

Okay, then I'll stay.

Don't come anywhere
near Owen.

Look, I'll do whatever you want.

I just want you to be safe.

I want you to trust me.

Come on, please, I need you
to trust-

Shut up with this shit!

We don't have time for this,
okay?

You can fight it out when
we're all out of here, okay?

Alright?

We all have our issues, okay?

Come on.

Okay, okay, okay.

We have no time. Come on.
Come on. Come on.

Come on. Come on.

Yeah, I'm gonna leave you
all to it.

Oh, no.

Come on.

I gotta get some sleep.

Alright, fine.

Whatever.

Pussy.

Hey, you think I could borrow
her for a couple hours?

Oh, you mean...

It's been a while.

Ain't no better sleeping pill,
you know what I'm saying?

If you think for one second
I'm going any-

Shut the á*áá*á up.

Oh, atta girl.

Come on, don't be a bitch.

Do what the man says.

I'll see you real soon, okay?

Do as the man says.

Uh, wait. One more thing.

Max, seriously.

How is Denver, anyway?

You talk to 'em?

Denver?

I can't get them on the radio.

Damn thing's broken.

Denver's done, man.

Everybody's gone.

Blak-Tek wiped the whole
place out.

á*áá*á.

Easy, easy, easy, easy.

Wait a minute, you two know
each other?

You need to lay off
that blue shit, man.

Don't tell me what to do.

We'll talk about it
in the morning.

No, no, no, she stays with me.

Now you're telling me
what to do?

You just told me
I could have her.

Don't á*áá*á with me!

Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait.

You hear that?

What the hell is that?

You asshole.

Or you could just do that.

Come on, we gotta go.

Go, go, go! Go!

Holy shit!

Take what you need.

Is there anyone else here
that can help us?

Some guards,
all the prisoners.

Alright. Get them quickly,
quietly.

Everybody down, now!
Now!

You alright? You okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, so that was
the distraction.

I see you found
the guns already.

You blew up the Warden's
office?

Uh, and the Warden.

Not before she shot him,
though.

You are a á*áá*á badass.

Only when I have to be.

Alright, let's go.

We'll take the truck,

blast right through the gates,
alright?

What's going on?

Get back in the barracks!

Woah, woah, woah.

The Warden's dead.

It's over.

Let 'em go.

There you go.

Come on, come on.
Everybody, let's go.

Flesh, I want you in the front
with me in case we take fire.

Everybody else to the back
of the truck, alright?

Let's go!

Come on!

No! No!

I thought you said
you shot him.

I did.

Get away from him!

No, don't hurt him!

Hi!

Surprised to see me?

You could say that.

Ahhhh!

Yeah, surprise, surprise.

Oh, my god!

What do you want?

I want the truck
and him.

No.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

Take- take me instead.

I'll pass, thanks.

What do you need
the kid for?

Take me.

You shot me in the á*áá*á-

You shot me in
the á*áá*á head.

Sorry, little guy.

Calm down.

-No.
-Hey.

You know what, actually?

Jer, you mind turning
on that Jeep for me

and then walking away with yourhands where I can see them?

No, please don't take him,
please.

No, no, no.

We'll find you.

We'll hunt you down.

Yeah?

You.

Get in the car.

No.

No, no, no, no, no!

No! No!

Do what you said
and find us.

Now.

A-ba-ba-ba, with the kid,
with the gun, yeah, go.

Bye.

You.

Follow me,
they both die.

Yeah, I just gotta know.

That Blak-Tek story,
is that bullshit?

Every single word.

á*áá*á!

I'm okay.

Squirrelly little prick is gone.

I told you, he's going east.

That's where all his trucks
went with supplies,

with prisoners.

He's got something else
going on out there.

We go after him, right?

Yeah.

That thing you told Max
about Denver,

are you sure it's true?

Ninety percent of that city
got wiped out.

Any survivors are long gone.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Ninety percent isn't everyone.

Doc's made it through worse.

Then I'm...I'm-

I'm staying there,
back at Loveland.

If Sarah survived-

You know she did,
she's a survivor, right?

You got that right.

Then she'll be waiting for me
back at the prison, right?

And those people,
they need my help, so...

Do what you need to do.

Okay.

You get him, Phil.

Bring 'em back.

Well, I'm not an idiot.

I'm sticking with you, badass.

Be safe.

Move fast.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

I'm not stopping
till I find 'em.

You know that, right?

Damn straight.

No.

I know I had my doubts

but I'll be the first to tell
you I was completely wrong.

Hansen's doing
a wonderful job.

I'd stake my reputation
on it.

If anyone can get us through
this plague it's him.

Thank you, ma'am.

I'll be sure to pass on
your encouragement.

Well done.

Your party tricks
have some use at last.

I will take that
as a compliment.

I'll write Avery's
official report.

Make sure there's no moreinterruptions from the council.

Now, about your Van Helsing.

We need to find a more
appropriate way

of storing her.

Yeah.

Sadly, I must agree.

Leave the amulet
to the Sisterhood.

We will retrieve it and disposeof the vampire hunters.

Alone?

I do not think so.

We will both go.

Where's Sam?

It's real gold.

The stone is real, too.

You're Hansen's daughter,
right?

I don't want any trouble.

Hey.

I just wanna-
