VANESSA: Previously on Van Helsing...
- Help me up. - What's wrong with her?
VANESSA: She's been poisoned.
BORDER OFFICER: You're being integrated back into society.
Welcome to Denver.
- I'm sorry, Flesh-- - Don't call me that!
I'm not your boy anymore.
My name's Phil. Phil Fleischman.
Have you had your first shot yet?
It's a repellent for vampires.
I-I'm looking for work, are you hiring?
- I'm Frankie. - Welcome aboard, Julius.
The city was overrun. Why were you guys still here?
PRIVATE PATTERSON: Leave no man behind.
- Back to back. Back to back! - GUNFIRE
HE SCREAMS
HE GRUNTS
Psst!
Who's that?
It's Patterson.
How long have I been out for?
Hard to say.
Came to about an hour ago.
No idea how long before that I was dark.
Anybody else make it?
I don't think so.
- DISTANT SCREECHES - PATTERSON PANTS
What was that?
Sh...
Be quiet.
So much has changed during my slumber.
Soldiers seeking their death is not one of them.
Imagine my surprise
waking to find the world belonging to vampires.
I must thank the Van Helsing for disturbing my sleep.
You'll get your chance, I promise you that.
SHE WHISPERS: You, I like.
Vigour.
Strength.
- Handsome. - HE GRUNTS
Yes.
A fine specimen.
Leave him alone.
You might wanna think about a Tic Tac.
Stow it, private.
No!
HE GROANS
Bitch!
- PATTERSON GRUNTS - AXEL: Hey!
SHE PANTS
You Americans are delectable.
You're gonna die for that.
Will you strike me down?
Not me, I know someone who's up to the task.
SHE CHUCKLES
The great vampire slayer?
Let him come.
She'll kill you first.
I was going to feed you to my Gonsei.
Instead, I will turn you.
Watch you kill the Van Helsing at my command.
Oh, yeah?
Well, let's get this party started.
How about her?
- HE GRUNTS - SHE SPITS
HE LAUGHS
Hah! How'd that work out for you?
Hm?
Impossible.
I can't be turned.
She made sure of that.
And you can't feed me to your little fly monkeys, either so...
- I guess you're just gonna have to kill me. - Yes!
But first, I'm going to use you.
HE SCREAMS

Have a good night there, ladies.
Good night, you big ol' yeti!

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just be safe, you two.
DOC: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Alright, here's the last of it. I'm gonna go clean up.
What's the rush?
You got somewhere to be?
No, it's just when a man gets a job, he's supposed to work.
- Ain't that right? - Yeah, I guess I'm just not used to...
bar grunts being so eager to do shit work.
I ain't no grunt.
Hey, I meant nothin' by it.
What about him?
You wanna toss him or should I?
- SHE SCOFFS - That's Marv
and that's his harmless stage.
Let's just let him sleep until we're ready to turn the key.
Wait, you don't think I can take care of him?
I think you can take just about anything you want.
HE CHUCKLES
Mm...

Are you gonna deny me a drink now?

OK, what's your poison?
You want the good hooch or do you want that bathtub hooch?

Don't try to stop me, Dre.
Look, I know you wanna save your sister and your friend.
I get that, all of it, but going out there is only gonna get you killed.

...I think we are the only bar in Denver that has open mic night during the day.
In fact, I think we're the only bar in Denver.

Next up, we have the comedy stylings of Count Laughula?
Let 'em hear it!
SINISTER ORGAN MUSIC
Wah-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Ah-hah-hah!
Fang'k you. Fang'k you very much.
You people just don't know
how hard it is to be a vampire.
Denver is the worst.
We can't go out in the daytime.
Have you ever tried to catch your food at night?
It sucks!
Boom! Ha-ha-hah!
You suck, buddy.
- AUDIENCE LAUGHS - Yes, yes, I do.
If you're not careful, I'll suck you!
- MEN LAUGH - WOMAN: What?
No, I...
I mean his blood, not his...
I want to suck your blood.
- Yeah, sure, buddy. - Anyway...
Um... joke two.
I'm telling you it's hard out here for a vampire.
I try to get a tan for the ladies, but they only come running
because they think they smell fried chicken!
Boom! Ha-ha-ha-ha!
What do you know about being one of them!
I'm Count Laughula!
You're a hack! You're playing dress-up.
- Hey, look pal, I'm just trying to-- - FLESH: Trying to what?
- Trying to what? - Feeders aren't funny.
You wanna know what it's like being one of them?
- Phil-- - I used to... he-hey-hey!
They wanna know, they wanna know!
Yeah, we do!
Feeders aren't funny,
and I should know because I used to be one.
Oh, yeah? Well, uh, I don't recall seeing you hanging around!
Boom! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
FLESH: You wanna know what it feels like?
The first thing is the hunger. That's the first thing that you feel.
And it's intense.
It's intense and it's so painful...
and it fuels your anger and your hatred
and it's relentless and no matter how much you feed
you want more, and you'll do anything.
Anything!
I did...
unspeakable things.
Like what?
You wanna know? You really wanna know?
I fed on my own children.
So how'd they taste?
How'd they taste?
Fuck you, that's how they tasted.
And then I forced their mother, my wife...
to watch.
And then I just left her there, I didn't kill her I didn't turn her
I got off on her...
pain, suffering.
And then...
I went off to feed.
And I didn't feel a thing.
Not a thing.
Well, now they're gone.
There's nothin' I can do.
Well, maybe there is something I can do about it.
So do it already.

I'm just feeling a little frustrated right now, you know?
Like, haven't been able to get anywhere with this blood
that Scarlett gave me and the truth is, I don't know what I'm looking for.
No-no-no, I'm sorry.
No, clearly you're too busy right
and I wasn't just attacked again, but, you know, fucking forget about it--
Attacked again? Hey!
No, it's just... Alright, don't worry about it.
- It's alright. - No, Jolene...
- what's going on-- - Don't fucking touch me!

How's your friend?
He's good.
Just went home to sleep it off.
That was quite a performance he gave.
Yeah, he's unpredictable, I guess.
He's been through a rough time.
I mean, haven't we all?
It's his way of dealing with it...
acting out what it would be like to be one of 'em.
Vampire, I mean.
Right, so...
that bullet hole in the wall over there, that's just...
part of the act?
I mean, that must've been there before.
I mean, like you said, back in the day, it was pretty crazy here.
So is it true? What he said?
The part about havin' a family?
Yeah.
He had a family.
Oh, well if any of them are still alive, they might be on the registry.
What registry?
METAL CLANKS
I know you're there, Barry.
How'd you know?
You're about as stealthy as a Clydesdale.
What are you doing here?
I wanna help...
help save your friend.
It's too dangerous.
I'm not afraid.
Yeah, I know, Barry, OK, and I appreciate that
but it's gonna take more than bravery and that pipe to make it outta this alive.
What's over in that direction?
That's Chinatown. You shouldn't go there.
Yeah, I hear that a lot.
I saw you lick that blood.
Is that how you do it? How you find 'em?
SHE SIGHS
Yeah, it's how I focus.
Makes me strong.
- What are you doing? - Let me help you.
Barry, no!
Here, to help beat that thing!
Barry, you need to go.
What you mean?
Barry, you need to get the fuck out of here or I'm gonna kill you!
Barry, go!
Just wanted to help.

Test subject B has been given no dose and will act as our control.
RATS SQUEAK
Oh, my God!
- It's the shots! - Jesus Christ, what are you doing!
- It's the shots, Jo! - What?
They're what's causing these violent outbursts.
It's why you nearly bit my head off.
It's the shots!
But that's...
what... are you sure?
Oh, yeah, I'm 100 percent sure.
Then we have to tell someone.
No, we have to tell everyone.
Hello?
Oh, hey there! How can I help you?
Yeah, I'm looking for your population registry
I was told I might be able to find someone.
Well, if they pass through Denver...
they'd be on it.
Wow, so, the names of all the people that survived the rising...
- they're in here? - You bet.
JULIUS SIGHS Great!
You lookin' for anyone special?
Uh, yeah...
a friend's wife.
Ooh, let me guess.
Friend no longer in the picture, you always had a thing for her
and now you see your chance.
What?
No!
No?
Well, fill your boots.
HE SIGHS
- Dammit! - No luck?
No.
- Thanks anyway. - Don't wanna check the other volumes?
There's other volumes?
The lapse time post injection was less than a minute.
What was the dosage?
Ten times the regulated amount, give or take, but depending on a person's tolerance
there's no say what a safe dosage is or if there even is one.
It has to be the cause of these violent outbursts.
This is not news.
Of course there are side effects, but the fact is, the shots work
which means people feel safe.
And when people feel safe, they stay calm, happy.
Wait, you're saying you knew?
- This whole time? - No one is saying
what we have here is perfect
but it's a lot better than outside these walls.
People need to know!
Do they?
Well, what about the Daywalkers?
We don't know if it'll work on them.
What are you talking about?
SHE SCOFFS You guys don't even know.
There's a mutation and it allows a vampire to walk
in direct sunlight just like us and it's spreading!
That's preposterous.
They're real!
And they're even harder to kill.
I don't have time for these wild stories.
Hey! We are telling you the truth!
And if you think these walls or your bloody shots
that are gonna protect you, then you're a fucking idiot.

She wouldn't wanna see me, not... not after what I've done.
No, you don't know that.

I have nothing left.
Hey, hey! Phil.

and your head.
Look familiar?
You have a thing that does not belong to you.
You are not worthy of an Elder's totem.

Well, let's not start creating panic until we think things through.
People could die. Maybe they already have.
And people's lives are being saved, yours included.
I don't care what they say.
- I'm not taking anymore of those shots. - OK, OK, agreed.
This is all that's left?
Yeah, the B'ah pretty much wiped out the whole town.
We should be safe now, you guys made sure of that.
I mean, there's probably still some vampires around
but the queen bee is dead.
You should be able to reclaim your city.
Ah, they can't stay here, there's no resources, there's no security.
What about the military?
Won't they send more troops?
Make this a safe zone again?
Can't bank on it.
They're wiped out as well from what I've heard.
So what do we do?
Denver.
Supposed to be a safe zone.
We sent some of our own people there already.
It's the only option.
We'll never make it on our own.
Yeah, you will.
Cos I'm gonna take you there.
SCARLETT: Axel?
You're not leaving.
Listen to me, I have to.
These people aren't gonna make it there without me.
I owe them my life, and yours.
Please, don't do this.
Look, Scarlett you and Vanessa don't need me, not for what you're doing.
I need you!
I do, I need you!
Not like these people.
Promise me somethin', alright?
Promise me?
What?
No matter what happens, no matter how sideways shit gets
you meet me in that place we talked about.
Cos I'll be sittin' there waiting to look at your face every day.
Deal?
Alright.
Somethin' to remember me by?
Oh, wait.
Something to remember me by.
You're really not like the other girls, are you?
SHE LAUGHS
Alright, everybody.
Listen up, we leave at dawn.
I want you to go out in scavenging groups of no less than three.
Gather whatever supplies you might need, food, water, weapons, whatever.
Watch your backs out there.
The city's still infested.
You heard the man, get movin'!
- Thank you. - Yeah, thank you.
Thank you, guys.
Thank you.
So is this it?
You sure?
Looks like it.
I mean, you said it, sleeping beauty.
I've been lookin' after you long enough.
Alright, I'll miss you.
Take care of yourself. Be safe.
Bring her back in one piece.
Yeah, not a scratch.
Ah, come on. Hold on a second.
Come over here.
Big finale, huh?
Kinda had to.
I'm glad you did.

Goodness, girl.
You're huge.
The old love of my life's name was Wanda.
She looked more like a Ronda.
Let's see if you've still got your singin' voice.
You didn't destroy the totems, did you?
- I got a plan, so you gotta trust me-- - No, you gotta trust me.
I'm also risking my life for humanity, so tell me the plan.
- OK, but you're not gonna like it. - Try me.
We kill the Elders, take their totems
and resurrect the Dark One ourselves.
We end this once and for all.
OK, yeah, you're right. I don't love it.
In fact, I don't even like it.
But I'll do it.
