Van Helsing (2016–…): Season 4, Episode 7 - Metamorphosis - full transcript

Three generations of Van Helsings come together before a showdown with Elder Sam and the Oracle.

We need a Van Helsing to raise
the Dark One.

I harvested everything I need.

An heir and a spare.

Two females...

Oh, my God!

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

So, when the time is right.

I don't remember requiring
your permission, Michaela,

or your presence.

The Dark One expects us
to be there, Bathory.

I have this feeling
like something



is pulling me towards...
who I thought it was you.

I also feel it.

We'll figure it out together.

To the rise of the Dark One.

To the rise of the Dark One.

Maybe we're distant
relations or something.

Maybe.

Probably, considering.

We were adopted, anyway.

Dad never wanted
to talk about it.

The kind of guy he was.

Didn't get along?

I don't know if he's
still alive.

Maybe he's magically
changed somehow,



but once a corporate suit,
always a suit.

I wish I did know more about
my birth parents.

I guess one of them could
have been a Van Helsing.

Maybe a grandparent.

What about your parents?

I'm not sure who my dad was.

I don't know if anyone knew.

I didn't meet my mom
until the day she died.

What happened?

It's a long story.

Pretty sure we're
on a long walk.

It's this way.

I was gonna say
the exact same thing.

How'd you know?

A feeling.

Kind of a tug.

From here, right?

That's it.

Then for sure that way.

So tell me about your mom.

It's in there.

I can feel it.

Yeah.

The pull is getting stronger.

And a bit terrifying.

Okay.

A lot terrifying now.

This looks like the place
where Abby died.

Also where I lost Scarlett.

You said neither of those places
were real.

Or the same.

And yet both of them
are really gone.

So this is it then?

This is where we're supposed
to be?

Right here.

It feels like it is.

I sense it, too.

Oh no!

Vi!

Jack!

I'm so sorry!

It's okay. It's okay.

I didn't mean to.
I didn't know.

I just shot, I'm sorry.

It's okay.

It's nice to see you still have
a quick trigger.

'Kay, just sit still.

We gotta put pressure on it
and stop the bleeding.

No, I got it.

No, don't touch it.
Just let it‐

Vi, what're you doing?

You can do it, too.

Yeah.

You're her.

The one from the visions.

I've been having visions
of you, too.

Somehow I knew I'd find
you here.

Who are you?

I'm Vanessa.

Vanessa Van Helsing.

I thought I left you behind.

We are bound.

You.

So full of potential
and yet still so flawed.

Are you trying to awaken
my baser instincts?

Baby.

I don't fear them.

No.

I count on them.

Are you sure?

Dad's one of them.

I think he always was.

It just doesn't make sense.

I mean, him pretending
he's human

and saying that we're
his adopted kids?

I don't think the people he
said were our birth parents

were really our parents at all.

I got a hold of some files.

Records of how we were born.

Dad made us.

Our fathers are random soldiers
they used as donors.

Does that... does that mean
we're even sisters?

Half, I think.

You thought you could do
this alone?

The Van Helsing are close.

I can feel all of them.

Even if that were true,
what then?

Recovery of the amulet and
the death of them at my hands.

And then what?

I merge with the dark one.

No, not without the ritual.

A ritual you neither know
nor understand.

In your blood lust you forget
the most important part

of your destiny.

Me.

You're wasting your time
with the others.

They are two parts of this.

Two parts you said
we didn't need.

Two parts you despise.

I'm not confused.

I took action while the three
of you were bickering

like children.

No!!!

You can't control me.

But I can still serve
your purpose.

I was born in a research
facility.

Me and my sister.

They engineered us.

They mixed our DNA.

Half human, half vampire.

What?

No.

I can't be one of those things.

Jack.

Hey, it's ok.

You said Hansen
was a corporate suit.

Doesn't happen to be
a Blak‐Tek suit, does it?

They're involved in this.

Who knows? Maybe everything
that's happened

is because of them.

Our whole life is a lie.

Listen, if I've learned anything
in all of this

it's that you can't dwell
on the past.

Okay? You guys have each other.

Cherish that.

Depend on it.

She's right.

It's about us now.

Help me take the final step to
become one with your beloved.

It is what we both want.

There will be no turning back.

It's all I desire now.

Don't keep it from me.

As you wish.

You need to keep watch.

While‐ while you do what?

You trust her?

Yeah.

Absolutely.

Good.

'Cause other than you

I don't know who
to trust anymore.

We'll figure this out.

This changing people back,
the healing.

We'll figure it out together.

Hey! I need your help.

Look.

See the hand prints?

Yeah.

What are they for?

Well, in the past
they've opened something.

But it only works
for Van Helsings.

You ready to find out
who you really are?

We're not going anywhere.

Okay.

Brace yourselves.

I think you should do it
at the same time, okay?

Ready?

Three... two... one...

Nothing's happening.

You call this nothing?

Give me your hands!

And light shall lead darkness
to its end.

It's alright.

It's alright.

It's day but now it's night.

How can that be?

This place isn't real.

It's more of a state of mind.

So those dreams where we‐

No. They were real.

And we need to be careful.

The last time I was here
I wasn't alone.

Where's Jack?

Jack?!

Stop.

I have to find her.

Jack!

Come!

Come to me.

Come to me.

Vi?

Come to me. Come to me.
Come to me.

Jack?!

Jack?!

Jack!

Hey. Hey.

You need to calm down.

Okay?

Maybe she didn't make the trip.

I'm still unsure
how all this works.

It's in the blood.

Has been for generations.

Stay close.

What is this place?

I don't know.

Don't move!

Jacob?

Jacob?

No, my dear.

I am not Jacob.

I'm his brother.

Abraham Van Helsing.

Come.

Come to me.

You've been warned.

Stay back.

Come.

I am no threat.

I used to be a threat.

The greatest threat a vampire
had ever known.

But now you, and you,
both fine, capable,

our legacy and bloodline
forever staying strong,

I see, yes?

Yes.

What are your names, may I ask?

This is Violet and I'm Vanessa.

Vanessa.

Named after one of the finest
Van Helsings I ever knew.

Now, you must have what I need.

Need for what?

To kill the Dark One, of course.

Entombed with me in the dark
realm but still very much alive.

Dark One?

Tha... tha... that doesn't
sound good.

Come now, you must have
the means to destroy it.

Show me.

We have this.

And this.

You have not made a weapon
to destroy it?

The family must have created
a means to kill it

after all these years.

The pages, they're gone!

But where?

Where?

The family was torn apart.

Our history was lost.

I don't know anything about
a weapon or pages.

No.

All for nothing?

Centuries of loneliness and pain
for nothing?

What happened to you?

How did you get here?

Our attempts to kill the Dark
One had all failed

and when my dear brother,
Jacob, was turned I...

I knew what I had to do.

Without a weapon powerful enough
to kill it

I realized my best hope
was to trap the Dark One

in the realm of darkness.

I threw myself and it,
the demon, through,

severing all ties.

So you've been trapped
in the dark realm with it?

Yes.

Come to me.

Yes.

Come to me.

Closer.

Come closer.
See me.

Be one with me.

These are the means to open
the portal to the dark realm,

activated by our blood.

And under no circumstance
must it be opened

without the means to kill it
once and for all.

I won't let that happen.

You must be very cautious,
my dear.

The darkness has seduced
more than one Van Helsing.

I can see this through.

I sense great darkness in you,
Vanessa.

One that could put all humanity
in grave danger.

And I pray it does not reside
with the other.

What do you mean?

Yes.

Come to me.

No! This cannot be!

What's happening?

The Dark One, it has
been awoken.

Be one with me.

No. No.

What have you not told me?

What?!

‐Jack!
‐Jack!

Who is this?

Vi, Something happened!

Something terrible!

No.

What have you done?

Here. You must make
a weapon.

Find the pages, open the portal.

Only then you can kill the Dark
One, once and for all.

Now, go.

And take your children with you.

Go!

Jack?

What happened to you in there?

I don't know.

I ended up in this dark room
and there was something

and it was calling to me
and I couldn't resist it.

It's okay.

We're out.

We have to do what he told us.

Fashion a weapon
with no instructions.

What did Abraham mean
when he said "your children"?

I don't know.

I mean, it's not possible.

Yes, it is.

We were created from eggs
that were harvested

from a four‐year‐old girl
they were experimenting on.

It was you.

We came from you.

And that makes you...

Your mother.

What the hell is that?

Sam.

Could it be?

She's a Van Helsing, too.

Such a pretty family picture.

Stay behind me.

Hansen, with love, he said
there was no other.

The other bride, so full of lies
and deception.

Those are the vampires
I saw with Dad.

Only way uglier now.

I need you both to get as
far away from here as possible.

We're not leaving you.

Yeah, we can help.

Listen to me.

Your survival is the only thing
that matters.

These two are mine.

Go!

Jack!

Your fear is intoxicating.

But it's not your time to die.

Yet.

Ahh!!!

I'll miss causing you such pain.

You'll never win.

You don't understand.

I already have.

Oh, doesn't it hurt?

I remember reading Frankenstein
when I was just a boy.

The good doctor, he‐

he tried to make a creature
just to see if he could.

Some people thought
the creature was the villain.

And then, for others,
he was a hero.

You're no hero.

I wasn't talking about me.

I meant you.

They made you, too.

An abomination.

A dark secret that was meant
to fail.

Go to hell.

I plan to, right here.

On earth.

You've made that possible.

You and your offspring.

I'm here because of you.

Everything you've done,
everything you are.

My ascendance is because of you.

It's of your making and I will
revel in your destruction.

And theirs.

It is time.

Take the amulet from her.

Suffer.

It's what you were made for.

My beloved would have preferred
consuming you.

A pretty plaything.

Another Van Helsing
seduced to our dark hearts.

But you've made your choice.

Does he know he's a pawn?

A sacrifice?

Clever girl.

But in the end I'm giving
him a gift.

You're using him.

We all get used,
each in our own way.

Surrender to that truth

and all this will be so much
easier to accept.

It comes to this, my chosen.

Take the amulet, drink the blood
of the Dark One.

Complete the pathway
and open the portal.

Sam, listen to me.

You don't want to do this.

Think, Sam. Think.

Why you, huh?

You really believe you get
to become the Dark One?

She offered the fourth elder
to both of us.

Why?

So we could become stronger
than she is?

Or so we can be sacrificed?

Do it.

Fulfil your destiny.

Maybe your destiny
is your downfall.

My downfall was being born.

Pain and suffering of trying
to be human.

Darkness that made inside of me
could never be undone.

I must evolve.

Fulfil my final purpose.

Each step you took
led you to this.

You are fully formed now.

And one with your darkness.

Ready to embrace
your true purpose.

I feel it...

Coursing through me.

Yes.

Merging with me!

Ahhhhh!!!!!!

What?

Is thi... thi... this?

The Dark One.

You have liberated her.

No, ah!

You.

Behold.

Yes.

Your master.

Wonderful.

Dracula.

This wld

I sensed it's gathering evil.

The return to the black centre
of its core.

But this is better than
I thought.

More black than ever.

Purging itself of love and joy.

Hail Dracula.

Ruler of the darkness,
commander of my soul.

Bathory.

My first and most
enduring bride.

I am here, my beloved.

Here to worship the evil
within you.

To bask in your darkness.

You are the one who raised me
from my torment.

Yes.

Who created the fourth?

I discovered him as a child.

A seed of pure evil,
nestled in his soul.

And you nurtured it,
encouraged it to grow.

Yes.

To create a dark vessel.

An entranceway between
this world and the void.

Yes. I did that for you.

Years of careful labour.

And so you come here alone.

Tell me, why did you not
bring the others?

Shouldn't all of my wives
be here to meet me?

Don't I deserve to feed
on their devotion, as well?

The time of your return
was unexpected.

The fourth acted rashly,
without consent.

The fourth was your
creation alone.

The fault must all be yours.

Am I wrong?

I swear I did not fail you.

The other brides are in waiting

I woke Michaela.

Hansen is by her side.

They're ready to worship you
for the goddess that you are.

Once again I tire of you,
Bathory.

Years and years of your failed
attempts to please me.

And you disappoint me yet again.

I have brought you a gift.

Look.

The last of the Van Helsings.

The only mortals capable
of your destruction.

Hmm.

A Van Helsing.

And a powerful one, it seems.

And these two, her spawn?

Yes.

All strong and virile.

Prepare to feed
your every desire.

Exquisite.

Fascinating.

And still I sense some of myself
within you.

But how can that be?

I was made with your blood.

It is in me now.

Rooted at the core.

Yes.

The beauty of my essence flows
within you.

Them, as well.

Don't touch them!

They're mine.

This one I will keep.

But the children, I wish
to bathe in their blood.

To wash away the years
of deprivation.

You will not.

What is this?

There's more of me in you
than any Van Helsing,

that I have ever known.

But you will still bow down.

It is your fate.

I bow to no one.

You dare to defy me?

To fire my anger.

No.

You misunderstand me, my master.

I wish to stand by your side,
not bow at your feet.

What deception is this?

No deception.

Let me offer them to you
as a show of my devotion.

Do not trust her.

The Van Helsings
are treacherous.

Deadly. They‐

Silence.

I will grant you this wish...

My curious new toy.

Spill the blood of your children
so that I may cleanse myself.

What's happening?

Vanessa?

What're you doing?

Run when you can.

Find the pages.

No.

Don't be afraid.

I could always feel
the darkness in you.

It's in you, too.

Fight it.

I must have you
as my newest bride.

No!

I am your one!

Your only!

If you had ever been enough
for me there would be only you.

And just like my affection
for you,

this world's light
must be extinguished.

Come.

Bask in my glory.

Fulfil your destiny.

Like Jacob before you.

Join by my side

as we welcome the dawning
of the eternal darkness.

As I unleash the power of hell
to rule this world.

Come.

Take my hand, my newest
concubine.

Become one with the darkness.

That's exactly what I had
in mind.

Oh, you don't know how long
I've waited for this moment.

Because you're right.

This is my destiny.

I long to be by your side,
intertwined.

Together.

Forever.

There's just one thing
you should know.

Nobody fucks with my family!

No! No!

Vanessa?

Hey.

She sacrificed herself for us.

I need you to find the amulet.

Get the book.

Find those pages and go.

What're you doing?

You insolent children!

We're Van Helsings!

We're meant for sacrifice!

I can't leave you!

Come on, Jack!

I need you to go!

Now!

Go!

My beloved will rise again.

And when she does it will be
through your blood!

Spawn of Abraham!

My mother's name is Vanessa.

Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

There's still hope.
