If we have to hide baby Kristoff he will need a new name.
What about Jack?
Jack Van Helsing.
What we need is to split up.
I hate to say it, but splitting the two of you up
is the only way to make sure
that at least one of you makes it to the Oracle.
How're we gonna find each other once we're there?
There's a place called Meridian Park,
it has a sundial in it.
Whoever gets there first hide a note, we'll meet up.
Vanessa: You said the Dark One' in D. C.?
That's where I'll be.
Axel: You're just gonna stroll up to the White House,
take on the whole military by yourself?
Vanessa: I'll need a disguise.
Someone the Dark One will never suspect.
Axel: I have the perfect candidate.
Dark One: Fear is eternal.
Ambition is immortal.
Suspicion is armour.
Vengeance is survival, and I will survive.
Unvanquished.
My name is Dracula.
Frederick: She brought us here for a reason,
that much is certain.
Yes, I suppose she did.
Suppose?
Well, considering any who ignored her invitation
were hunted down and beheaded...
Yes, I wager she has something particular in mind.
Every great ruler needs a council beside her,
to advise, to share in the burdens.
And we've all shown our skills.
Leonard has ruled his brood in Chicago
with an iron fist for decades.
Lucretia cut the throats of every other vampire
who got in her way from Miami to New Orleans.
We've all made our mark
before the rising and flourished afterward.
Except you.
Who are you?
Where do you come from?
Me?
I come from many places.
I have roamed the earth.
I have lingered in the depths of existence.
Enough of your evasion.
If the rumours are true and the Dark One is weakened, vulnerable,
there may well be a shift in the balance of power.
And if you think an outsider can take a position
that is rightfully mine‐
Rightfully yours?
I do not recall anything being offered
with the invitation to join us.
You should be more careful listening to rumours.
Please.
I meant no offence.
And none has been taken.
All of you are my loyal servants,
I am sure your only ambitions are those that I provide.
Frederick: Your excellency.
You were right to defend your position.
Everything you have done for your entire vampire life
has lead you to this exact moment.
All of you, your impressive amassing of power,
your endless determination to become more than you were.
All the while I wasted away in the Dark Realm
alone and unaided!
All of you, every one of you will get what you deserve.
The spoils of ambition.
[choking]
[cracking]
[groans]
Anyone else care to share their opinion?
[gasping]
Please... take mercy...
Oh, take mercy.
They died quickly but I, I'm going to take my time with you.
You killed the others.
Why?
They believed I was weak and vulnerable.
Do you share in that treachery, sweet Bathory?
[door opens]
Sorry I'm late.
Looks like I missed all the fun.
And who might you be?
I'm Nina.
Surely you've heard of me.
The one who conspires with our enemies.
I thought I had you assassinated.
That can be easily rectified.
Not sure you wanna do that.
Oh? And why's that?
'Cause I just killed the last Van Helsing for you.
[dramatic theme music] ♪
Wow.
I thought it'd be nicer in here, you know?
But I guess you could always redecorate.
Unless that's what this is.
You claimed you killed the Van Helsing.
Sure did.
What proof do you have?
The amulet?
What amulet?
Lies.
If she destroyed the girl she would have sensed
the power of the amulet and brought it with her.
I can't give you what I don't got.
And I'd be pretty stupid, showing up here and lying.
Why would I do that?
Dark One: Why indeed.
'Cause I wanted to bring you this.
Better than some piece of jewellery.
All the proof you need that I am your devoted servant.
And this is?
Van Helsing blood.
Liar.
Excuse me?
Drink it yourself if you don't believe me.
[laughs]
See?
Deep down you know, you just don't wanna admit
how royally you screwed the pooch
when you tried to slaughter me.
Isn't this proof enough?
No.
[laughs]
I am loyal.
An ally.
Keep your mouth shut or share their fate.
I have a reward for you for your devotion.
Please, no.
I'll do anything but that.
You will do as I wish.
Now, reward him.
Drink up now, my loyal servant.
See? I told you, she's‐
[vomiting]
See?
Presto chango.
Look at me.
He... he is human again.
Please, let me go.
If you did kill the Van Helsing, where's her body?
Well, I ended up having to hack her to pieces and bury the bits.
Every time I killed her she just kept coming back to life.
Where did you find her?
The humans, Axel and Julius.
The killed the Delta vamps you sent after me,
then left me for dead.
I followed them.
They met up with Violet just outside of D. C.
Where are those humans now?
Hmm.
I made it nice and slow.
Stay there for a minute, will you.
Funny.
‐You're hilarious. ‐[laughs]
Her story is a lie.
She's working with the Van Helsing allies.
And yet the blood is real.
That is all we know.
I am sick of this human charade.
I want that amulet to regain my strength
so that no one questions my supremacy.
And you will, my beloved.
But we cannot put our fate in strangers.
I put my faith in you.
For what?
I have worshipped you for centuries.
If she has, in fact, killed the last Van Helsing then
why not dispose of her too. She serves no further purpose.
Nina: Is this little confab over with?
I could really use a snack.
I haven't fed in days.
I was told you couldn't be trusted.
It is why I called for your head.
Hmm.
I was smart enough to change my fate.
Adapt.
You could use a little of that moxie around here.
Oh, so now you are devoted to me, hmm?
Mmmhmm.
A presence as powerful as yours,
the way she keeps failing to satisfy you.
I had a change of heart.
I like to serve,
just give me time and I will show you how well.
Oh, it's tempting.
[laughs]
It's a pity I am so short on worthy brides.
But still, one can't be too careful these days.
Yes, kill her!
[choking]
There's so much more to me than meets the eye.
Don't you wanna find out what?
[choking]
I think I found someone who could smuggle us in.
We have to be careful.
I don't think we have a lot of options right now.
That's the guy.
Ladies.
Come on in, look around.
All offers welcome.
Take a little souvenir back to the real world.
A keepsake from the apocalypse.
We're not buying.
Well, she told me that you want something,
and that thing is gonna cost you.
Bigly.
We don't trust you.
I don't trust me.
[laughs]
What're you gonna do, right?
Beggars, choosers, yadda yadda.
We're not here for small talk.
You said you know a guy that can get us through the wall.
Yeah, there was a crackdown on the other side,
martial law.
Risk needs rewards, so what's in it for me?
[whistles]
That sword is mint.
Woah, ok.
Ok.
Is that real folded Japanese steel?
Like Samurai style?
We're planning to save the world.
You could be part of that.
Mmm‐mmm.
Sorry.
Not looking to be a superhero.
Hmm.
[cocks gun]
Did you sell us out?
Hmm, traitor?
Did you sell us to a bounty hunter?
You must be Jack and Ivory.
Word gets around.
What's the price on our heads?
Oh, you're wanted, alright.
Preferably dead.
But I'm not working with the enemy.
Axel sent me.
You just missed him by a couple days.
Him and Violet.
Did they leave a message?
Some kind of plan?
I'm to get you to the coyote tunnels
so you can get through to D. C.
They'll find you on the other side.
Find us where?
Meridian Park?
I don't know anything about that.
Axel only told me what I needed to know.
[dramatic music] ♪
That's gotta be it.
Jack: We made it.
Ivory: Yeah, inside the wall.
Welcome to the real world.
Biggs said this place isn't safe so we gotta keep moving.
Inside the safe zone there's supposed
to be thousands of people.
Cars, busses, life as close to normal as you can get.
Yet it's a ghost town.
Everyone's in hiding, forced off the streets.
Have you been to a city before?
Yeah, just in the dead of night.
To hunt.
Except for Denver.
Look.
It's no safer here than it was outside the wall.
Speak for yourself.
We just gained an advantage.
I'm not on the wanted poster.
That means...
They don't know you're back in play.
May I have your attention please?
Has anyone seen these orange clouds of poison?
[crowd murmurs]
No, of course not.
The clouds are far west of here.
But it is used as a scare tactic to turn us against one another
instead of fighting the real enemy.
The President of the United States!
The sundial Axel mentioned is right over there.
Alright.
Should I wait until these people leave?
No.
You wait here.
Nobody's looking for me.
Ok.
Jack.
Just be careful.
People need to get their heads out of the sand
and see what's happening.
Our rights are being suspended for no reason.
Does free speech become illegal?
How long before the arrests start?
[crowd agrees]
Police: You there.
Drop the sword.
Show me your I. D.
What?
I'm not breaking the law.
You're not supposed to be armed in public.
I. D. Now.
Humanity needs to fight for our rights to live freely,
even during times like this.
Freedom is what this country stands for!
Thank you!
I have my papers, they're in my bag.
Come on.
Do you want me to just arrest you?
Drop the hood.
Hands up!
Turn and face the tree!
Now!
[groans]
Come on!
Was there a note?
There was a note, but it's not from Axel.
Who?
Vanessa.
She's back.
I know you.
The former vampire.
Come with me.
Quick.
I'll take you to the resistance.
Come on.
Go.
Sorry about this, precautionary measure.
Please wait here.
Ivory: I don't like this one bit.
Jack: Me neither.
Ivory.
Welcome to D. C.
Sergeant Weathers?
You know each other?
Yeah, she helped Violet and I escape from Fort Collins.
Sorry about the cloak and dagger shit.
We have to be cautious.
Glad to see you made it here safe.
Where is Violet?
Safe somewhere, I hope.
But this is her sister.
This is Jack Van Helsing.
I read your file.
The White House reported you missing.
Presumed dead.
That's how we should keep it.
For now.
Jack Van Helsing.
You're Jack Van Helsing?
Yeah.
The prophecy, it's come full circle.
Your name has been passed down through generations of Roma.
The two Jack Van Helsings are legendary.
Two?
The first was a woman who travelled through time
to try and stop the rise of the Dark One.
That would be me.
The other was a child of the Dark One's host.
Olivia's baby?
Yes.
Snatched from the arms of the Dark One herself,
your namesake went off to start the Van Helsing lineage.
The best vampire hunters of all time.
He started us?
I'm not following any of this.
It's a really long story.
So Olivia's baby is my ancestor?
Wow, that's... super weird.
Do you have what we need to trap the Dark One?
The amulet.
Created by our people as a way of containing her dark spirit.
So we're going to trap the Dark One in that thing?
We have something else as well.
Something I brought back from the past.
The Scroll of the Alexandria.
The only way to neutralize the power of the Dark One.
Do you know how to read it?
But I know someone who does.
The plan to get her is unfolding right now.
Inside the White House.
Give me the security report.
Excuse me. Hey.
How did you get in here?
I am the Vice President of the United States.
Entering the West Wing isn't exactly a break in protocol.
Guards.
Avery?
You can't deny me access to the president!
Just did.
This is unconstitutional!
She's turning this country into a dictatorship!
You have no idea.
[door opens]
I have something to show you.
Something stray dogs shouldn't see.
[scoffs]
Go.
But do not wander far.
Your wish is my command.
And?
[gasps]
Jack Van Helsing.
More resourceful than you'd counted on.
She survived her trip to the past after all.
Look what's around her neck.
Seems I'm not the only one who made mistakes.
[gasps]
You must find her and kill her.
I need what is in that amulet.
Yes, and you will have it, my love.
Your power will be restored, I swear it.
Jack Van Helsing.
You shouldn't be here.
It's too risky.
I didn't travel through time and back
to hang out on the sidelines.
I need to get this message to my mother.
Alright.
I'll keep watch for a police patrol.
Go ahead.
[voice over loud speaker] You will be arrested on sight.
No exceptions.
Hey, what're you doing?
[voice continues] You will be arrested...
I don't know anything!
I was just walking in the park!
Don't lie.
Why were you following Jack?
[choking]
[cocks gun]
Next question.
Who are you and how do you know my name?
Because I'm your mother.
You're saying you're Vanessa?
I'm not saying it.
I am.
I learned a trick or two in the Dark Realm.
Prove it.
Morph into my mother.
We have to play smarter than that, Jack.
There are surveillance cameras everywhere.
They see who either of us are, who we really are,
the plan is over before it starts.
If you really are Vanessa,
tell me something only she would know.
What did you do the last time you saw me?
I opened a portal in the Dark Realm and sent you to the past.
Oh, my god... it really is you?
It's too dangerous for you in there.
If they find out who you really are‐
Don't worry about me.
Just get ready for what's coming.
Bathory.
I'm gonna bring her right to you.
When?
Soon.
Tomorrow if I can.
So you don't have much time to prepare.
Do you trust these people you're with?
Are you sure?
The Roma have been fighting this fight
longer than the Van Helsings.
They won't let us down.
And what about Axel and Violet?
Did they make it?
I think so.
So far no sign of them.
We can't wait.
We'll have to do this ourselves.
How? I mean, Bathory is‐
I'll be there to help control her so you can bite her.
You haven't tried yourself?
I was bit by the elder Abadon and he didn't turn or die.
I don't think I have the power.
But you and Violet?
You're the next generation of Hansen's weapon.
He designed you to do this.
I bit the Dark One.
I got a small bit of her.
Part of her darkness.
I could feel her.
So that's why she's not at full strength.
Violet took her in and she spat it back out.
She said it was awful, that she felt possessed by its power.
She hardly survived.
You and Violet are something else.
You know that, right?
We get it from you.
Part of it, maybe.
But the rest is just your own courage.
Your own determination.
I'm proud of you.
We should part ways for now.
Hey... if all this doesn't work out...
It will.
Believe it.
I'll see you soon.
Bathory: Good morning.
You were out late.
Some of us have a life.
Mmm.
I have beaten better than you in my extensive life.
I am the one and only bride of the Dark One
and I am going to stay that way.
Doubt that.
[laughs]
You are surprisingly strong
for some low‐level white trash vampire.
Thanks?
But have you ever experienced real pain, Nina?
You're just gonna die slowly.
No need to rush matters.
We can just keep it like this, let's say, a decade or two?
With little spikes...
[winces]
Then again it would be so pleasing to see your feeble
little brains leak out through that ugly nose of yours.
[laughs]
You first.
[groans]
Oh.
Let's see how powerful you really are.
Children, please.
No need to fight over me.
As you wish.
I caught her sneaking back in.
I was out tracking the Van Helsing.
I know where she is, and she has the amulet.
Lies.
So where is this slippery Jack?
In a warehouse near the wall.
I can go there tonight, kill her,
and bring back what you desire.
Tonight?
As soon as that?
Absolutely.
All your worries will be over, and your strength restored.
Indeed.
Do not trust her with the amulet.
I mean, do you wanna tag along?
Fine, but I am not looking out for you.
I don't want you‐
Silence.
Go immediately.
Release the part of me that she stole
and bring back the Van Helsing head.
Right‐ right now?
Of course, my darling.
Why wait when there is so much to gain?
Or is there another reason you wish to delay?
Fine.
Let's go then.
Not you, my dear.
Bathory will take care of this.
Just her?
Thank you, my love.
I will not fail you.
But I'm the one that found her
and she has failed you time and time again.
Are you questioning my decisions?
Do I need to remind you that I have called
for your execution once before?
She's the whole reason that execution was botched
in the first place!
She‐
Shh.
You will stay here.
And you will bring me what I desire
or you, my love, will die.
I'll gather as much firepower as possible,
as many troops.
My people will be ready.
I should be able to get 50 or more fighters by tomorrow night.
Let me know if you need any help.
And how are we gonna trap her, you know, magic?
We're gonna have to throw a lot at her‐
Shh. Wait. Quiet.
What?
I just... I thought I heard something.
Ambush!
[gunfire]
You guys go!
Go!
Ahhhhh!!!!
[gunfire continues]
[cries out]
[groaning]
Kill her!
[gun shots]
[choking]
Breathe. Breathe.
Where's Vanessa?
I don't know, this wasn't part of the plan.
You should have let me go.
The stakes are too high.
My thoughts exactly.
Bathory has been by my side for centuries.
She may have her faults but she worships me
with every fibre of her being.
But you?
How could I trust you with the amulet?
With a piece of myself?
Trust me?
I‐ I put my life on the line just by coming to you.
Yes.
But you are not telling me everything.
For instance, how did you know that my spirit was trapped
in that vial around the Van Helsing neck?
How could you know that?
[gunfire]
You've gotta go, Jack.
You gotta leave me, ok?
You gotta go.
[gunfire continues]
Go!
This might be our only shot.
Do it.
Go.
[gunfire]
Go!
What are you doing?!
Jack, no!
Hey!
Are you looking for someone, or something?
Come to me.
I can feel my beloved's power from here.
[cries out] Jack!
You seem upset, my child.
Tell me all and your mind will be at rest.
I got curious.
Eavesdropped a little.
I should have come clean.
The truth is I just wanted to impress you a little.
Perhaps.
Perhaps not.
But I find you an intriguing mystery.
Soon I will have all the power I need
to bring the humans to their knees.
The last Van Helsing is dying as we speak.
Come, Jack.
Come and meet your death.
No problem.
Ah‐ah, close enough.
First, the amulet.
No!
So tonight, my darling,
you must stay with me where you can do no harm.
No!
What a lovely gift your head will make for my beloved.
[cackles]
[gun shots]
[groans]
[gunfire]
[panting]
[groans]
Bite her!
[gasps]
Come on, Bathory.
[vomiting]
Bathory.
Remember me?
You're back.
You're human.
[speaking indistinctly]
You're ok.
I'm‐ I'm right here.
[yelling indistinctly]
It's ok!
I'm a friend.
Hang on to her.
I'm trying!
What's happening?
I don't know.
It's ok.
You're safe.
It's ok. It's ok.
She's gone.
I thought you were kinda done with her, to be honest.
[choking]
Why were you so eager to go with her?
Because I knew she would fail.
Yes.
Or to ensure she did.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
You.
You were working with the Van Helsing.
You came here with her blood to set things in motion.
No.
It was you trapping me in the Dark Realm as a way to break me.
It only made me stronger.
More powerful.
You can't harm me.
Maybe it's time we found out.
[screams]
