-[Vanessa] Previously onVan Helsing. -[Julius] What the hell is this?
-[Axel] Not a clue. -[snarls]
[Axel] Whatever this orange powder did to the other daywalkers,
sure as shit did the opposite to that dude.
[munches]
[whirring]
[panting]
[Jack] The Dark One. Part of her is inside of me.
Purge it into the amulet. It was made to contain the darkness.
-Axel. -What?
You ain't healing.
What the hell is happening to us?
[electricity crackles]
[Axel grunts]
[electricity crackles]
[Axel grunts]
[ominous music]
[Axel grunts, pants]
[Axel groans]
[electricity crackles]
[Axel grunts]
[heavy breathing]
[electricity crackles]
[woman grunts] Come on.
[EKG flatlining]
[woman exhaling]
-[woman] Come on. -[EKG flatlining]
Come on! Come on!
[tense music]
Doc!
Grab a mask. Help me stabilize him.
[suspenseful music]
[defibrillator powering up]
[thumps]
[opening theme music]
[engine revs]
[gasping]
-[buzzing] -[groaning]
[panting]
[panting continues]
[woman] Hmm. One more time.
Why did you attempt to assassinate the president?
And one more time, that isn't the president.
-[helicopter whirring] -[Violet panting]
Right. Right.
Because the president is a vampire now.
[sighs] Not exactly.
She's really the ultimate vampire.
The Dark One.
And this Dark One can make herself look like the president?
She can look like anyone.
Why not the most powerful person in the world?
Then where's the real President Archer?
Dead. Probably.
[inhales]
That's funny.
'Cause we searched this whole base
and we didn't find any dead presidents.
-[metal clanks] -[whistles]
Hello? Madam President? Are you in there? Not a one.
Don't you think that's funny?
You got a fucked-up sense of humor.
[woman] You know what's really fucked up?
You and your friend in league with vampires.
Betraying your own kind? Committing treason?
And now you're gonna tell me why.
[gasps] The whole world, whatever's left of it,
is in serious danger.
And your little power trip is wasting time.
-[grunts] -[Violet groans]
[helicopter whirring faintly]
[man] All right. Through here.
[Violet] I didn't assassinate the president.
[Violet grunts]
[soldier mutters]
-[soldier 2] Easy now. -[handcuffs clanking]
[Violet] I didn't assassinate the president.
[Ivory sighs] Violet.
[handcuffs clattering]
[loud thud]
[sighs] Violet.
[chain clinking]
[Ivory panting, grunting]
[panting]
Are you okay?
What is it?
[velcro rips]
Turns out the Van Helsing family tree has a couple more branches.
-Twin sisters. Must run in the family. -[Axel sighs]
-They need your help, Doc. -My help? How?
I squared off against the Dark One.
Got hurt real bad. It's not looking good.
Fort Collins isn't equipped. We need to get you there.
-No, we can't leave here. -Well, how long until he's stable?
Julius isn't the issue. Those things are still out there.
There's more of those hulked-out monsters?
[Doc] Yeah, two of them, maybe more.
I wasn't exactly keeping count when I was dragging your asses in here,
-but they're out there somewhere. -Why'd you stay?
I had patients.
-[Axel] "Had"? What happened? -[Doc sighs]
Hansen sent me here to try to fix that new vampire control agent.
That orange shit that was all over you?
Yeah, that shit was everywhere outside.
Why did it affect us?
I told them we needed more trials, more certainty,
but they went ahead and rushed it.
We found out the hard way it has side effects on humans.
Bad ones.
That explains why we're not healing the way we used to.
Well, it was designed to kill vampires en masse, even daywalkers, but...
-[thuds] -I'm guessing we met the "but" outside.
[Doc laughs] The compound wasn't stable.
I told them, but they wouldn't listen, and it happened.
We got attacked and they panicked,
and they released it all into the air. All of it.
It killed off 95 percent of the vampires, but the other five,
they turned into those things out there.
[heart monitor beeping]
And they didn't stay outside.
[Doc] One got in, and...
[Axel] Well, that explains the mess.
Yeah, I just got tired of dragging bodies to the furnace.
[sniffs] I'm used to the smell now.
-How'd you survive it? -I don't know.
In the chaos, everyone just...
just ran.
Doctors, soldiers, it was a free-for-all.
And I wanted to run, too, but that orange shit was in the air.
They couldn't breathe.
They just started dying.
I couldn't just leave them there. I couldn't just...
-You did everything you could, Doc. -Did-- Did I?
-[Doc sniffles] -How long until we can get him mobile?
We gotta get to Fort Collins ASAP.
Axel, no. It's a suicide mission.
Do you think we can just walk out there with those things outside?
And even if they don't get us, the orange shit will.
You need to work on your pep talks.
-Get him ready. -Axel!
It's impossible.
Jolene's alive.
She's safe. I can take you to her.
[light music]
[electronic lock beeping]
[door opens]
[door closes]
We need a decision on this, Madam President.
People need you. Make a statement.
Something bold that lets them know you can't be shaken
and are resolute in your commitment.
I've gotta be honest, though.
There have been whispers from our counterparts across the aisle
that you've lost your edge.
[Archer chuckles]
I assure you, they have no idea just how much edge I have.
Look...
as a friend,
since you've returned from Fort Collins
you've been... well, distracted.
If the assassination attempt is weighing on you...
[laughs] They tried and failed.
What else is there?
[Newton] They're both being held at Fort Collins.
Given her special abilities,
we'll bring them both to DC for secure testing.
No.
Kill them.
Kill them?
Cut off their heads and bring them to me.
[Avery] What the president means is,
the suspects you have are extremely dangerous,
and the sentence for treason is death, is it not?
[Newton] But one can cure vampires.
You're ordering the execution of two Americans without due process.
They are both vampires masquerading as humans.
-[Newton] But the television broadcast? -Fake news.
Trickery to garner false hope.
You must destroy them before they spread,
and vampires become indistinguishable from the rest of us.
[tense music]
-I'll relay the order. -[Archer] Good.
Leave now.
-[electronic lock beeping] -[door opens]
[door closes]
Why must I be forced to play this charade?
[Avery] Not until the part of you that was stolen is returned,
we have to bide our time.
Once we've purged the last Van Helsing
and you regain your full strength...
I promise you, we will hide no longer.
Fine. [sighs]
We let them do their work for now.
Little ants slaving away for their queen.
One way in, one way out.
Guess the fire marshall doesn't pay visits to secret government facilities.
[foreboding music]
Say cheese, motherfucker.
Play nice now.
What the hell are you up to?
[static]
Help! Help me! Help me!
-All right, shut the fuck up! -[Ivory shouting]
-Shut up! Hey! -Help me!
You want those soldiers coming back in here?
Help her, please!
-What the hell is going on? -Please help me!
I just woke up and she was hanging there!
Holy fuck, Violet.
-Help her! -I'm trying!
[Sid] What are you doing? [gagging]
[soldier 3] Let's get this done.
Eyes on.
[Sid gagging]
One more step and I break his neck.
-[soldier 4] Stay down. Stay down. -[soldier 5] Stop right there.
[coughing]
Go ahead.
As far as I'm concerned, all BlakTek employees are traitors,
so you'd be doing me a favor.
[gagging]
-[body thuds] -[panting]
[Weathers] Did you really think that was going to work?
[sighs]
I can prove to you we're telling the truth.
-[Sid groans] -If you'd just let me show you.
[Weathers] We're past all that now.
The two of you are being executed later today.
Decapitation.
Presidential order.
It's a bit medieval if you ask me, but orders are orders.
Vampires or just sympathizers?
Well, won't matter once you're dead.
After you.
[ominous music]
-[soldier 4] All right, let's go. -[soldier 5] 10-4.
[electronic lock beeps]
Time to give that bitch a wake-up call.
[laughs]
[heart monitor beeping]
[Julius] What are you doing to me?
[Doc] Easy now, you're safe.
-Doc? -You got hurt real bad,
but I'm gonna help you get better.
Why can't I move?
It's... it's for your safety.
And ours.
Huh?
What does that mean?
I'm sorry.
[exhales]
What does that mean?
I'm experimenting with a new serum.
It's all a little jazz handsy right now,
but I think I figured out the mixture.
-It's the dosage that's a little tricky. -Oh.
You stuck me again, didn't you, Doc?
[sighs] You know how much I hate needles.
Well, it was either that or dying, bud.
-Axel? -He's fine.
He's itching to get out of here,
but we're not gonna go anywhere until you're better.
-Leave me. -What?
No, you gotta leave me now. Violet and Jack, they need your help.
-Now. -Okay, you need to calm down.
No, you don't get it. They are the answer. They just--
Okay, you need to calm down.
[panting]
We'll get to them, I promise.
[heart monitor beeping]
[exhales]
[light music]
Axel told me you never gave up on me.
Looks like it's mutual.
[alarm blaring]
[Julius] What's that?
-Be right back. -Okay.
I'll be right here.
-Hey! Hey! That's a perimeter breach. -[blaring continues]
The door's sealed, there's no sign of entry.
Then what? False alarm?
Yeah, maybe.
Do you know how to shut this thing off?
No, and I'm a little gun shy about pulling plugs
seeing as all the doors have electric locks.
Yeah, fair enough.
What's going on with that one?
Could it be there?
It's just an air duct, can't be more than a few feet wide.
Yeah, those things can't fit in there.
[beeping stops]
False alarm?
Yeah, maybe.
Okay.
[indistinct chatter on radio]
Two-Echo Charlie. Detention level.
Threat level alpha. Seal all exits.
Get me a list of every person who's exited
every goddamn door in this place.
[Sid] Um... Sergeant?
You said Fort Collins is still under presidential lockdown, right?
Got the place surrounded with motion sensors,
so how would they get past your perimeter without you knowing?
I don't know. You tell me. They escaped on your watch.
I mean, it doesn't make sense.
-It's a dead end. -What did you find?
Apparently, I just accessed utilities server room B.
And where exactly is this?
[soldier 6] Stay down!
[Violet] We just wanna show you something.
After that, we're all yours. You have our word.
Your word doesn't count for shit.
Maybe we should execute you traitors right here, right now.
[Violet] What if you're wrong?
Ask yourself, "Why would they erase the security tapes?"
Maybe you two did that.
The only way to know for sure, is to hit the space bar on that computer.
My father kept a back-up server of all security footage.
They didn't know it's down there so it never got erased.
[suspenseful music]
[keyboard clacking]
[sniffs]
[Dracula] Power has a very unique taste.
But death, it's all the same.
Desperate and wanting.
-[Archer sobs, gargles] -[Dracula snarling]
[Doc] Blue bullets are just a failed prototype, but these?
These will take out daywalkers.
Um, uh...
I don't know if it'll take down those monsters outside,
I suppose we'd have to shoot one to find out.
But hopefully, it slows them up enough for us to escape.
-[Axel] Doc? -Huh?
[footsteps thudding]
[clanks]
One down, 300 more to go.
[suspenseful music]
Hey, I think I have a solution to our problem.
-That's great, Doc. -What?
I don't know. Something.
-Hold this for a sec? -Yeah.
[stepladder rasping]
I thought you said they couldn't get up into the vent.
-No, you said that. -I...
-Fine, but you agreed. -Maybe we're both right.
Nothing, right?
-[hissing] -Motherfucker!
What?
It's in the duct. One of them tore the other apart so they would fit.
-Shit. -[hissing]
Ah... I'll get Julius to the OR, there's a vault back there.
-All right, go for it. -Whoa, whoa, whoa! No, no, no!
You're not thinking of throwing that in there,
-were you? -Well, I kinda was.
No. Gas lines run throughout this entire place. You'll kill us all.
Um...
-Why does it always gotta be the hard way? -Hold on.
I got a bullet that needs testing.
It's perfect. It's perfect!
[thumps]
I got different ideas about "perfect," Doc.
[hissing]
[vampire snarling]
[gunshots]
-[grunts] -[hissing]
-[gunshot] -[vampire snarls]
[snarling]
-[beeping] -[alarm wailing]
-Oh, jeez! -[Doc] Axel!
-[roars] -[Doc] Oh, shit!
[roaring]
Come on, Axel, let's go! Those bullets aren't gonna do anything!
-I just thought it'd slow him down! -Come on!
-[gunshots] -[vampire groaning]
[steam hissing]
[suspenseful music]
[snarling]
[beeping]
[snarling]
[grunting]
-[Doc panting] -[vampire snarls]
How many bullets do you have left?
Just about enough to piss him off some more.
Shit.
He knows that's the only way in and out of here.
He'll try and coax us into a trap, I'm sure of it.
-How do you know that? -Because that's Dr. Marcello.
Oh, a friend of yours.
He designed that orange shit. His ego's the reason we're in this mess.
Well, then you don't mind if I kill him.
If I don't do it first.
When I zap him, take his head.
-Gladly. -[vampire snarling]
[snarling continues]
Shit.
-Hey! -[snarls]
-Sure you don't wanna talk about it? -[roars]
Ah... I don't speak monster. [grunts]
[groaning]
[snarling]
Die, you motherfucker! [grunting]
-Come on! Die! -[grunts]
-[vampire snarling] -Let go of me!
[Doc screaming] Come on! Come on! Let's go!
[grunting]
[blade clinks]
[beeping]
Okay. In, in, in! In, in, in! Come on, we'll be safe in here.
A silverback gorilla couldn't break in here.
[shatters]
-You were supposed to take its head. -Yeah, easier said than done.
[Axel] Uh... So, what's the plan?
Sit in here and wait to see who starves to death first?
[beeping]
Yeah, well, you were gonna blow us up with your grenade, so you're welcome.
[Doc panting]
[heart monitor beeping]
[electronic lock beeping]
[door lock clicks]
[thuds]
[vampire snarling]
[snarling continues]
[screaming] Help! Help! Help!
[groaning]
-Nope, nope, nope. -Okay, okay, okay.
[hissing]
[Doc] You and I have been to hell and back together.
Today is not the day we're gonna die. Not here, not like this.
I dig your optimism, Doc,
but I don't see we got a lot of choices here.
-Well, we've got the bullet. -The bullet?
The untested bullet that's on the other side of the monster?
[sighs]
Might as well be on the other side of the planet.
What the hell is it doing?
[Axel] Maybe it likes balloon animals.
[hisses]
Oh, that smart son of a bitch.
[Alex] What? Why? What?
That was our oxygen line and that's CO2.
[snarls]
How long until it fills the room?
We'll be unconscious before I can do that math.
[Doc sighs]
Well, I hate to say it, Doc,
but I don't see us both getting out of here.
We had a good run.
When I rush that thing, you run for it.
When you get that bullet, you put it right between its eyes.
-Axel, no! Axel, no! -The girls need you! Jolene needs you.
The world needs you more than it needs me!
What are you doing? Have you lost your mind?
-You said the whole place would blow! -You'll be safe in here.
[groans]
-Doc, don't. You can't. -End of discussion!
This is how it's gonna be!
Just tell Jolene...
[suspenseful music]
-Just tell her. -Doc!
-[gunshot] -[Doc screams]
[door lock clicks]
[tranquil music]
Good morning.
[laughs]
-You two okay? -[Axel chuckles]
-Looks like your bullet works. -How did you know?
Guess I wasn't as out of it as you thought.
[helicopter whirring]
It's a good thing you're convincing,
otherwise, I'd be in a chopper on my way to DC
with your heads in a cooler right now.
[Violet] Oh, yeah, thank God.
[disembodied voices whispering]
What?
[Ivory] What is it?
It's... it's like the blood has changed somehow.
[disembodied voices whispering]
Violet, no!
The Dark One got inside my head.
I wasn't prepared.
Last time I saw smoke like that was when the Dark One emerged from Sam.
What if this smoke is somehow a piece of her?
[door opens]
[Newton] So it's true. You're addressing the nation?
On live television.
For what reason? And why wasn't I briefed?
You of all people should know that the matters of the president
are on a need-to-know basis.
Madam President,
you're not acting like the leader I swore to follow.
Checks and balances.
That's what this democracy was founded on.
[scoffs] A term designed to quell the masses.
[ominous music]
Moments like this...
They define a presidency.
Make sure you're on the right side of history,
or the people will rise up.
[electronic lock beeping]
[door opens]
[door closes]
[sighs]
Excuse me, I have to take a call from Fort Collins.
The executions must be over.
[electronic lock beeping]
[door opens]
[door closes]
[Archer] Perfect.
How did a piece of the Dark One get inside the amulet?
It's not possible.
Ladies, I'm afraid you're gonna have to speed up.
Washington didn't buy my execution story.
They'll have boots on the ground in less than four hours.
[Violet] That doesn't give us much lead time.
Well, we're gonna have to figure it out on the run.
The less I know the better.
I'll have my men get you geared up and out as soon as possible.
[Violet] Thank you for believing in us.
Huh.
I'm country first.
If some demon has our nation under her thumb,
I'm willing to do whatever it takes to cut that thumb off.
Let's move it.
[Doc] All right, you see this? Look.
This is all you need. You got it?
-I got it. -I'm serious.
[sighs]
I don't know how stable this new serum is.
It'll help you heal incrementally,
you might even feel enhanced adrenaline, enhanced strength,
but even this small amount is dangerous.
Hey, Julius.
Any more than this and your heart could explode.
More than a drop, ticker goes pop. I get it.
[Axel] Truck's ready to roll.
Fort Collins has got me on hold, can you believe that shit?
Let's load up. [grunts]
[Violet] Sunshine unit. Are you there?
This is sunshine unit.
That you, Violet?
-Axel? -How's Jack?
-We gotta talk. We're heading back soon. -[static]
Jack never came back. It was the Dark One.
She killed the president, took her form and escaped with the Oracle.
-We're headed-- -Stop talking!
This is not a secure line.
Do not tell me where you're going. Don't tell anyone. I'll find you.
You hear me?
[Violet] I know you will, Axel.
One other thing, there's some orange powder floating around out here.
It's deadly to both humans and vampires.
You gotta avoid it at all costs.
Use masks whenever you can, you got me?
-Got it. -See you soon.
[static]
That was Vi. Change of plans. We gotta move.
-I'll explain on the way. -[Julius] Is she okay?
[Axel] Seems so.
Doc, you coming?
No.
This is the end of the road for me.
I, um...
I made as many bullets as I could,
so... please use them sparingly.
-You sure about this? -You told me where to find Jolene, so...
It's been a good ride. [laughs]
[sniffles]
[tranquil music]
-Nacho cheese. -Nacho cheese.
[both laughing]
Are you gonna be okay?
Yeah, I will. When I find her.
Okay. Okay. You guys, go. Go, go!
[dramatic music]
[chuckles]
[electronic lock beeping]
[door opens]
[door closes]
Ever since the Rising, we have been fighting against an unspeakable evil.
We thought we had turned a corner and taken the fight back to them
when a recent broadcast showed a woman turning a vampire human again.
Giving us new hope.
Sadly, I have learned that this broadcast was a hoax,
perpetrated by a new breed of vampire.
Vampires that tried to assassinate me.
Yes, we have a new threat to America,
one that we must be extra vigilant in fighting.
These vampires can appear human at will,
and we have credible intelligence
that they walk among us as I speak to you now.
They can be anyone.
A neighbor, a co-worker, even a friend.
Now, I know this sounds frightening, because it is.
It is my sworn duty to protect this nation under the powers of the Constitution,
and that is what I intend to do.
So I hereby declare martial law, effective immediately.
There will be a curfew.
Search warrants will no longer be required,
and my personal security team will run the White House.
Now, I know this sounds unpleasant.
Even un-American.
But it is a small sacrifice to ensure that we survive,
not only as Americans, but as a species.
Fear not.
I know how to track this threat and pluck them like weeds.
Trust in me and we will survive.
Fight against me...
well, that would be siding with the enemy.
Ask yourself, "What side are you on, America?"
[tense music]
[Jeremy] Did one last sweep of them.
That's the last one. Everybody's on board.
-Jolene. -[Jolene] What?
It's time to go.
We can't wait here, you said it yourself. It's not safe.
Yeah, I guess I did.
[sighs]
[dreamy music]
[sobs]
You found me.
I never lost you.
[music intensifies]
Through thick and thin.
Good and bad.
All I ever wanted was you.
[dreamy music]
[both moaning]
[Jolene sobbing]
Your speech was magnificent.
Oh... I could feel all their eyes upon me.
The fear and adulation radiating out of them was intoxicating.
[chuckles]
[gasps]
What is it, master?
I had hoped this feed would give me vigor,
but alas, not until I am whole again will I have my full strength.
We'll find what has been lost.
We will. I will have it delivered.
Along with the Van Helsing's head, as I have promised.
-[chuckles] -[kisses]
Your loyalty to me, Bathory, is the only thing that I trust.
It is your methods I find ineffective.
Hmm.
Tell me, my dear,
-what did you see? A vision? -I...
I saw your victory, my love.
You standing atop the corpses of your enemies.
-Together? -Of course.
[chuckles]
[foreboding music]
[disembodied voices whispering]
[Dracula laughing]
[card thuds]
[ominous music]
[groans]
[exhales]
I can feel my power returning.
But only just a taste. Part of me still remains captive.
[sighs]
[chuckles]
[flesh squelches]
[exhales]
From my blood comes death.
[ominous music]
Darkness brings my death.
From the realm of darkness...
rise, my child.
-Rise! -[thunder rumbling]
[Bathory] By what hand?
"The Fool."
Bringer of chaos.
Go, my pet. Fetch what I desire.
[exhales]
[chuckles]
Jack.
Violet.
Vanessa.
Jack.
Violet.
Vanessa.
Jack.
No!
[cackling]
[cackling continues]
