I'm experimenting with a new serum.
It'll you heal incrementally,
you might even feel enhanced adrenalin, enhanced strength.
But any more than this, your heart could explode.
I made as many bullets as I could.
Please use them sparingly.
Violet: Sunshine unit, are you there?
Axel: Is that you, Violet?
Axel.
This is not a secure line, do not tell me where you're going.
Do not tell anyone. I'll find you.
One other thing,
there's some orange powder floating around out there.
And you got to avoid it at all costs.
Julius: I haven't seen the sun this much in years.
It makes me nervous.
Axel: Eh, beats clouds of Agent Orange.
Lima beans.
Please tell me that's not all we got left in here.
Just 'cause this thing's magic don't make it fool proof.
Trust me, it's working better than this sorry ass bag of food.
More lima beans.
Axel, Vi's counting on us.
We're gonna find her.
It'll let us know if we make a wrong move.
[woman screaming in the distance]
The hell?
[woman screaming in the distance]
[snarling sounds from a distance]
[distant screams] No!
Well, that ain't right.
Let me go!
[snarling and growling]
Outnumbered, fighting blind, the vamps still seem scared.
What is that about?
Well, look, we can't just charge in,
between the stitches and not being able to heal anymore.
Maybe used to stop us.
[fighting grunts]
Get off of me!
[fighting grunts]
[gunshot]
[groans]
[gunshot]
[groans]
Oh, buddy.
Oh, shit.
Oh, he got me good.
He got me good.
Are you sure about that?
Remember what Doc said.
Too much and...
[makes explosion sound]
Just a sip.
Get this thing off me, now!
Hey, hey. Easy now, easy now. I got ya, I got ya. I got ya.
Come on, let's get you up.
[gasping]
There you go.
[screeches]
She's a vampire!
[groans]
[screeches]
Nina?
Julius?
Nina?
Julius.
Julius!
[laughing]
Julius!
[laughing]
♪
[laughing maniacally]
Come here.
You know her?
Yeah, yeah.
Her name's Nina.
She was- look, she was really important to me.
What's that supposed to mean?
It means...
Are you out of your mind? She's not coming with!
Look, Violet can change her back.
You saw what she just did to those two vampires.
That was with a bag on her head.
But she pulled me out of the gutter once, literally.
Axel, I have to do the same for her.
I have to.
We don't know how far Vi is.
What happens if vampire Nina gets hungry along the way?
You fought the hunger when you were one.
Oh, so what is this? A 12-step program,
I'm gonna be her sponsor? That's-
Jesus Christ!
My ears were burning.
So you were a vampire too, huh?
Once upon a time.
For half a sec.
You must have come across Vanessa Van Helsing.
Not like her story hasn't gotten around.
Come with us. Before he changes his mind.
Hey, hey, I never agreed to anything.
The road ahead is dangerous and with Nina...
She can help us.
You're going east beyond the wall?
That's none of your concern.
[laughs]
The vampire territory you're gonna head through,
they will feast on a full-headed pretty boy like you.
[laughs]
What was going on over here?
Why were you getting jumped by your own kind?
Short story?
I disrespected their leader.
That's it?
Nothing else?
What guarantee do we have that you won't try
and kill us the first chance you get?
You on your own?
As soon as I could.
Julius... I'd never cross my baby.
Axel, please.
Please.
You better know what you're doing.
Who did you become, Julius?
The prize fighter or the bottom feeder?
I became the fighter.

When was the last time you hunted?
Not gutter rats.
I mean real prey.
It's been a long time.
I forgot.
[sirens wailing]
Police.
We gotta run.
They have weapons.
We are weapons!
[sirens wailing]
What's your problem?
Big guy like you shouldn't be afraid of nobody.

I don't even know your name.

Dinner and a movie.

Julius: Oh, I missed the taste of healthy blood.
Nina: Mmmhmm.
Julius: It's a...
Nina: Sweeter?
[chuckles]
What happened to you, bottom feeder?
I used to hunt with my own pack.
We were ghosts in the night.
Town to town, kill who we liked,
recruited the worthy and poof,
gone before sunrise.
Why did you stop?
My own kind turned against me.
You wanna take back your power and live like me,
don't you?
I can feel the ambition pulsing in your veins.
The hunger.
That rush you desire, it's yours for the taking.
No, I can't.
I have to go back.
To what?
The shadows?
[laughs]
When we can hunt without fear, bathed in light.
[laughs]
I'm not like you.
You wanna live on the knife's edge as badly as I do.
Life and death and every heartbeat.
That danger, sinking its teeth into you.
What're you doing to me?
Opening your eyes.
Carpe noctus.
Seize the night.
With me.
You.
You're Nina Morgan.
Was I?
Yeah, I remember.
I watched all your films.
You were so-
So what?
Naive?
No.
Beautiful.
And good.
That woman up there is a fantasy.
An empty, vulnerable lie.
The men who pulled my strings wanted me to be.
I was like you, too.
Julius Romanski, the boxer, but-
but not the boxer that I wanted to be.
Not in the end.
They made you a loser.
Nightmares only end if you wake up.
[whispers] Carpe noctus.
Tango's close.
We're on the move.
[sighs]
Shit.
So you actually did it.
You built a new brood and seized the night without me.
Yeah.
Yeah, I did.
But it wasn't much of a life.
Well...
All this time I thought you were dead.
Why would you think I was dead?
I don't know.
What about you?
I tried to build an empire, rule my own territory,
but sometimes a gal just can't catch a break.
Together, though, we coulda run it all.
We need to move. I have to feed.
Even if there wasn't an orange storm, no.
I wasn't asking. Do it!
-Hey. -It ain't gonna happen.
Look, we can't move right now,
not with that toxic cloud up there, ok?
Please, Nina.
Look, can you hold off for just a bit?
Sooner or later I will have to feed.
You can try me.
You're not gonna like it.
What is that thing?
Still none of your goddamn business.
It's leading you to something beyond the wall.
Or someone.
Ok, you know what? Reunion's over.
Get out! Now!
Hey! Hey, what're you doing?
She's asking too many goddamn questions
and she's not answering any of mine.
It's 'cause she already answered our questions.
Your trust issues aren't my problem.
What's your angle?
Why tag along?
I like the company.
Bullshit.
And frankly, I don't care.
Out! Now!
She stays.
End of discussion.
That cloud you're avoiding?
It's gonna take two hours to move on
and we're right at the edge of the vampire territory
I was telling you about.
Staying here is suicide.
But... I know where you can find shelter.
We're running low.
There's vehicles on each side of the main building.
Alright, I'll go left.
You and Nina go right.
Hey, hey, hey. Come here.
Watch your back.
It'll be fine.
Trust me.
Well, looks like it's just you and... me.
Nina?
Oh boy.
Nina?
Nina!
[choking sounds]
[feeding sounds]
Nina!
Don't you dare call me a bottom feeder.
You tricked us into coming here for shelter so you could feed.
Two birds, one stone.
I need strength to protect you, don't I?
Axel's not gonna like this.
Oh, Julius.
Always a lap dog, never the master.
Hey!
I am my own man, always have been!
Yeah?
How's mama?
Mama: What did you do?
What is this?
Julius: It's a proper meal, mama.
I'm sorry it took so long but it's healthy, clean blood.
Have you not learned from your mistakes?
We don't take the humans that people will miss.
No, mama. Not anymore.
We have nobody to protect us.
Dmitri cast us off because of you
and now there's a vampire hunter chasing us all.
We're only alive because we've stayed in the shadows.
That time is over.
For both of us.
It's time that we return to the old ways.
Bah!
The old ways are gone!
You stupid, stupid child!
Hit him again, you lose your arm.
Who are you?
Get away from me!
Mama, this is Nina.
She's different.
She lived a life of strife and struggle like we did.
But not anymore.
Now, I am the night.
[scoffs]
You are a fool.
Child, you can't-
He's not a child!
He is Julius.
I will not be spoken to like this.
Least of all by her!
Mama, please.
She wants to build a new territory.
An empire.
With me.
No!
She will bring death to our door.
Don't you understand?
I do.
Your fear is his burden.
[snaps neck]
It doesn't have to be.
Julius?
If you follow her she will get you killed.
Don't make me beg, Julius.
If you leave what will happen to me?
I gave you life.
Mama.
I will die without you!
You're better off.
We're better off.
You don't get it.
She's all I got.
You've got me now.
And I promise I will never lie to you.
So listen to what I'm saying.
We've shared so much in such a short time.
I snapped you out of a nightmare.
I know.
I know, but she's my mama.
And a vampire.
When the hunger takes hold she will feed without you.
She will learn to fend for herself.
Guilt is a human emotion.
It serves no purpose now.
Let it die so you can be the vampire I know you can be.
Tomorrow at midnight.
I'll wait for you where we first met.
And if you come to me
we will be together forever.
If not, then I'll know you can't let go of the past.
What do you say, sweetheart?
Are you going to be the lucky one?
Breakfast of champions.
You're getting twitchy in your old age, Axel.
[glass smashes]
[gunfire]
Son of a bitch!
[gunfire]
You're starting to piss me off!
Tango one is pinned down.
Move into flank.
[explosion]
Dammit, where are you?
[gunfire]
All hell's breaking loose.
[door opens]
We gotta go right now!
We got a team of soldiers gunning for us.
Well, ain't that a kick in the head?
I hitched a ride with wanted men.
Wait a second,
how did you know there was fresh blood here?
This is your territory, isn't it?
Get that out of my face before I kill you!
I told you we couldn't trust her.
Your selfish bullshit, let 'em catch right up to us.
I know this looks bad but there's no way
she could have known we were being tracked.
What difference does it make? They're here now!
Probably sent by President Dark One.
And we have nowhere to go.
[pounding]
Give us the vampire and you can walk away from this!
They want her?
Where'd she go?
You have 30 seconds to comply.
Time's up!
-Spare her, kill them. -10-4.
[beeping]
Gonna breach!
[explosion]
[gunfire]
Duck!
Down!
[explosion]
Fall back!
[gunfire]
Keep the gun on this one.
You got it.
It's not gonna take them long to regroup.
Axel?
You gotta be kidding me.
A vampire Delta Force.
Goddamn apocalypse.
Those orange bullets hurt, don't they?
Tell you what.
I'll end your pain, you tell me who sent you.
[growls]
Take it easy, Axel.
She came back for us, didn't she?
She came back because I have the keys to the SUV.
Maybe I wanted to know more about the magic orange bullets.
Yeah, I got one of those magic orange bullets
for you right here.
Axel.
You wanted us to think they were after us.
Then you killed that vamp before it could talk.
Why?
So it wouldn't unravel your bullshit?
Julius?
Back your friend off.
Or I will.
Nina, what do you know?
Hey.
You swore you'd never lie to me.
You said it yourself.
The Dark One has control of the military.
What does she want with you?
[mimics] What does she want with you?
[laughs]
We're on a mission to kill her.
With Vanessa Van Helsing.
Enough.
[cocks gun]
Ok!
Point made.
I know things about the Dark One.
That's vague as .
You think I'm gonna give anything up
just because you asked?
It's the only leverage I've got.
Maybe we lend each other a hand
with this little predicament and then maybe I talk.
Look, there is a lot of them out there.
Maybe it is better if we work together.
Although we need a plan to fight those goons.
Maybe we just give them what they want.
Nina: Help!
Help!
Don't kill me! Don't kill me.
Take me to the Dark One. I can help her.
Where are the humans?
You think I did this to myself?
They betrayed me!
Ran for their lives!
[gunshot]
What the hell is this?
The Dark One will no longer tolerate
your shifting loyalties.
Look, she invited me to see her, I shouldn't have said no
but I know things now that I didn't know then.
Aren't you listening to me?
Take me to see her!
Take the shot.
Easy.
What're you doing? They could kill her.
She's talked her way out of worse before.
Let's see what she has to say.
You think you're just gonna kill me?
You have no idea what you're up against.
I have my orders.
[gasps]
From the Oracle.
It's you, isn't it?
I will have your head.
No, no, no, no, no! Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
You see? Now the fast talking begins.
Wait. I have something you need.
Something- something that the Dark One is really gonna want.
Lies. Lies.
You can no longer escape our master's wrath
with your empty promises.
You fled rather than answer her call.
No! No!
I- I was on my way when a bunch of our own kind,
they- they jumped me!
They jumped me, I swear!
Those who have refused her invitation
have all come to the same fate.
Alright, that's enough. Just do it.
Please!
Please don't do this!
It's the humans, I can- I can-
[cries out]
[gunshot]
[gunshots]
What the hell were you waiting for?!
The truth for a change.
[gunshots]
Axel.
You're the humans she spoke of.
Yeah, ain't life a bitch?
Only a matter of time before I kill the young Van Helsing.
You cannot defeat us.
I wouldn't be so sure about that.
I will force her to do things you could barely imagine.
Just like I made your girlfriend Scarlett
sacrifice herself... for nothing.
[gunshots]
Then we need each other more than ever.
You were gonna give us up.
We're nothing to you but decoys.
You got me all wrong.
I was lying to them to buy time.
I am so done with your bullshit.
Harm me and you'll never find out
what I know about the Dark One.
How can you not see her for what she really is?
What's this hold she's got on you?
I make my own decisions, Axel.
-Really? -Yeah.
Ok, well here's one.
I'm leaving, she's not.
Choose!
Axel, wait a minute.
Axel!
Axel, hold on!
Just wait a second!
Were you really gonna do that?
Turn me over like I was nothing?
Come on, baby.
Answer the question.
Never.
I'm telling you the truth.
Then what's this secret you know about the Dark One?
'Cause if you can't give me that...
She's gathering the brood leaders for something.
Something big.
Oh, yeah?
You told me you failed to build your empire.
This territory?
Axel was right all along.
The vampire you warned us about is you, isn't it?
Don't you see what's happening?
The Dark One's forces tried to kill me when I refused to meet.
My brood was slaughtered.
But I escaped...
like I always do.
Because I'm a survivor.
Were you lying then or are you lying now?
What?
Now, you're better than me?
A human, working for the Van Helsing?
Trying to kill everything you once were.
Everything I still am.
You want me dead.
Say it.
No.
I want you back.
Human.
Oh, Julius.
You've forgotten who you were.
Remember how it felt, you and me?
This world could have been ours.
It still can be.
It's not too late.
Carpe noctus.
Forever.
No!
[coughing]
What are you... why aren't you turning?
I can't turn back again, even if I wanted to.
The curse of the Van Helsing.
No. No, no, hey.
It's a gift.
And she can give it to you, too.
Let me make it up for letting you go.
I can help you be the woman you were before all of this.
You don't know anything about the woman I was!
I saw you.
-No. -Yeah.
I saw who you were.
Nina, you deserve a second chance.
A second chance to seize the day.
This is my second chance.
I was never that girl in the pictures.
I cheated and lied my way into the movies.
When people said they'd kill for roles like those, I did.
I killed to get what I wanted.
I embraced the dark
long before I ever stepped into the spotlight.
Long before I ever became... this.
All these years wondering what could have been for what?
You should have died that night.
What night?
You knew what I was walking into that night?
You knew?
You knew?!
We'll head east tonight.
New city, new life.
Just you and me.
I didn't wanna say goodbye but you left me no choice.
And it's pulling me apart.
You're staying.
For her.
I have to.
Then you're dead to me.
Julius!
Shh!
Where have you been?
-Shhh! -Don't you shush me!
We have to go, now!
A Van Helsing.
[glass shatters]
That Nina, she blinded you.
This is my fault.
I should have listened to you.
No, I knew you'd come back.
Nobody loves a boy like his mama.
[gate opens]
We need to go now!
I know you have it.
Have what?
You're smart enough to have figured out what that compass is
and where it leads.
I'm not gonna ask twice.
I'm gonna bring this to her to bargain for Julius's life.
With all of her power maybe she can change him back.
And then we can be together like it was meant to be.
You want him to be happy, don't you?
All you care about is saving your own skin.
Julius can't see that, but you ain't fooling me.
By the way, you are a shitty actress.
[laughs]
You remind me of a co-star I once had.
Always liked to play brave soldiers.
Always liked to get handsy off camera.
You never forget your first kill.
[laughs]
Last chance.
I never back down.
