Van Helsing

Bathory?

You need not kill me.

We wish for the same thing.

I'm a vampire hunter.

What have you done?!

She was dead and now she lives.

You no longer own your own destiny.

Time to meet your fate.

The Dark Spirit awaits you.

Arise, sweet darkness.

Take your place at my side

and I will show you all that you might become.

You? Show me?

For centuries I have built my Sisterhood.

A league of darkness that has followed human kind

to every corner of this world.

It is because of this strength that I finally discovered you,

disembodied for all this time, lost and wandering.

But I learned the means,

brought you back to this mortal world.

This human vessel gave you life.

You do not know who or what I am.

I can sense your darkness.

Your power.

I did from the beginning.

And it will serve me well.

Even as a spirit I have lived eternal since mankind began.

My name has struck fear in mortals for thousands of years.

They know me by many names.

Ekimmu, Baobahn, Lilitu.

But you will know me now as Dracula.

I need no one.

And I serve no one.

Behold, my master.

Dracula.

This way!

The cemetery!

Why are we slowing down?

We're almost there.

I sense a threat.

A vampire hunter.

More powerful than I've ever encountered before.

Find her.

Jack?

She knows about me.

You too.

She's trying to get an edge.

She's trying to make us stop.

Fight her.

Use your power to keep her at bay.

She's hunting us.

The Dark One. She knows I'm a threat.

You have to help me.

We are!

It's Michaela.

She's using this to find us.

Then we must purge it.

No. No, you're not-

you're not gonna do what I think you are.

We have little choice.

Put this in your mouth.

Bite down, hard.

Make it quick.

Close your eyes.

Out you wicked darkness!

You are strong, Jack.

You are strong.

Are you kidding me?

That hurt like a son of a bitch.

I gave you the most mundane of tasks.

She is a more unpredictable enemy than I thought.

Arose from the dead after attempting to murder your host.

Is she more powerful than you, Michaela?

Never.

Then prove that.

Or should it be her as my chosen instead of you?

But dawn approaches.

We must retreat into the safety of the shadows.

We need not worry about the light.

It too will bend to my will.

In time, when the last of our enemies is vanquished,

I will turn this whole world into perpetual darkness.

And then the humans will know it is only a matter of time

until we enslave them all.

What foul enchantment is this?

She's keeping it dark so that the Sisterhood can hunt us.

This magic is too powerful.

I can't do this alone.

Michaela has always been a dangerous adversary.

But this Dark One and her power, it's-

Your mother's scroll.

It can counter their magic.

No, I told you we cannot battle darkness with darkness.

We might not have a choice.

I travelled through time for this.

I'm not gonna give up now.

I have to change fate.

Mine and yours.

My fate has not been written yet.

I have a family legacy to fulfill.

Yeah. You and me both.

But without allies-

We can go back to town.

Gather Florian and his people.

The villagers still think you murdered Olivia

and that you're a witch.

Yeah, well...

they're gonna have to decide what they fear most.

Me or that.

Run! They'll kill us all!

We need to find Jack.

Before it's too late.

Where is she?

I don't know.

Please don't kill me.

I beg of you.

The one called Jack!

I don't know!

Please.

Listen to me, please.

You know who I am.

That I was once a Sister.

But look at me now.

She did it to me. The one you seek.

She can set you free, as well.

There's no saving them now. It's war.

Sire, the sky.

I know.

Evil is all around us.

My men have taken to the road to create a path.

As you commanded.

Head east until you reach the river, then north.

The castle is ours.

Stop for no one.

You have your orders, Captain. Protect our escape.

When my son is safe I will return with 100 men

and together we will purge this evil.

My lord.

Stealing away with the child, that seems unwise.

My Countess.

I saw you die.

Do not be deceived.

The lady, Olivia, has been poisoned

with the same evil that blackened the sky.

Poisoned?

No.

Transformed.

Strike her down, Rasto.

That is the only way.

Or you could submit.

All of you worship the darkness.

What say you, Dalibor?

What say I?

My Olivia would never, ever ask such a thing!

Rasto, end her! I command you!

End her!

Protect the child!

Forgive me, my Countess.

Forgive you?

I should be thanking you.

I haven't fed in such a long, long time.

I can see your future.

Can you see it, too?

Do what you want with me,

but please, if there is any part of Olivia left within you,

I beg you spare the child.

He is our flesh-

And blood?

Yes.

And I should wish it dead.

But I will spare him for now,

and you do exactly as I instruct.

Look how few of us are left.

We cannot take the fight to them.

There is little choice now.

I'll have to risk using my mother's scroll.

Is there no other way?

If it comes to it, you know what you must do.

What does she mean?

Do what?

Legend had it that the first was exiled long ago

by an enchantment.

Forced to roam the earth without physical form.

Much as my ancestors searched, they could not find it,

let alone capture it.

So instead they devoted themselves

to hunting down the evil that still lived amongst us

in the shadows.

The Sisterhood.

Then my mother discovered this.

Authored by the very person who summoned

and then banished The Dark One in the first place.

What does it do?

The incantations serve as an antidote

to the powers of The Dark One.

A way to make her vulnerable.

But to do so, the person who uses them

must access the darkness that makes her so strong.

She means you have to resist the power

the same time you use it.
