Van Helsing Page #2

Use your imagination.

No, I'm gonna use yours.

That's why you're coming with me.

- Holy hell be damned I am!

- You cursed.

Not very well, but you're a monk.

You shouldn't curse at all.

Actually, I'm still just a friar.

I can curse all I want...

damn it!

The Cardinal has ordered you

to keep me alive.

- For as long as possible.

- But I'm not a field man.

I don't want to go to Transylvania.

Come on.

Dracula unleashed you for a reason.

Pull me up!

It's stuck!

- No, Anna, it will kill you!

- That's my brother out there.

Cut the rope! Cut it now!

Velkan!

My gun! Find my gun!

Find Velkan's gun.

It has to be the silver bullets.

Anna, hurry!

Hurry!

Move.

Anna, look out!

Run!

Velkan.

God...

help us.

- So, what do you remember?

- Not now, Carl.

There must be something.

I remember fighting the Romans

at Masada.

- That was in 73 A.D.

- You asked.

What are we doing here?

Why is it so important

to kill this Dracula, anyway?

- Because he's the son of the Devil.

- I mean, besides that.

If we kill him, anything bitten

or created by him will also die.

I mean, besides that.

Welcome to Transylvania.

- Is it always like this?

- Pretty much.

You, turn around.

- Let me see your faces.

- Why?

Because we don't trust strangers.

Strangers don't last long here.

5'7" by 2'3".

Gentlemen, you will now be disarmed.

You can try.

You refuse to obey our laws?

- The laws of men mean little to me.

- Fine.

Kill them.

- I'm here to help you.

- I don't need any help.

Really?

Everybody inside!

Hide the children!

Stay here.

You stay here.

They're trying to kill me.

- Marishka, kill the stranger.

- Love to.

Run!

Carl, it's not working.

Try aiming at their hearts.

It's the sun.

Van Helsing.

Do you like to fly, Anna?

Hello, Anna.

Nice to see you, too, Aleera.

Did I do something to you

in a past life?

Don't play coy with me, Princess.

I know what lurks

in your lusting heart.

I hope you have a heart, Aleera...

because someday I'm going to drive

a stake through it.

This should do the trick.

Holy water!

Stop your teasing, Marishka,

and finish him.

Too bad. So sad.

The church!

Thirty years old.

Perfectly aged.

Hello, Anna, my dear.

The last of the Valerious.

I can feel fresh blood

rushing through her veins.

Here she comes!

I want first bite.

- He killed a bride!

- He killed Marishka!

You killed Marishka!

- You killed a vampire!

- But isn't that a good thing?

Vampires only kill what they need

to survive.

One or two people a month.

Now they will kill for revenge.

- Are you always this popular?

- Pretty much.

So what name, my good sir,

do I carve on your gravestone?

His name is Van Helsing.

Your reputation precedes you.

Next time stay close.

You're no good to me dead.

Well, I'll say this for you.

You've got courage.

He's the first one to kill a vampire

in over 100 years.

I'd say that's earned him a drink.

Marishka!

Why can't they just

leave us alone?

We never kill more than our fill

and less than our share.

Can they say the same?

Did I not stress

how important it was...

to be finished

with Anna Valerious...

before she destroys

what we are trying to create?

- We lost Marishka.

- Master.

There, there, my darlings.

Do not worry.

- I shall find another bride.

- What?

- Do we mean so little to you?

- Have you no heart?

No, I have no heart! I feel no love!

Nor fear...

nor joy...

nor sorrow!

I am hollow.

And I will live forever.

- My Lord.

- It is not so bad.

I am at war with the world...

and every living soul in it.

But soon

the final battle will begin.

I must go and find out

who our new visitor is.

You will have to make

a little apritif out of him.

We are much too close to success

to be interrupted now.

- No!

- The last experiment was a failure!

Please, say you will not try again.

My heart could not bear the sorrow

if we fail again.

Come.

Do not fear me.

Everybody else fears me.

Not my brides.

lgor.

Yes, master.

Why do you torment that thing so?

It's what I do.

Remember, lgor, "Do unto others..."

Before they do unto me, master.

Now go, all of you!

To Castle Frankenstein!

Yes, we will try again.

- So, how did you get here?

- We came by sea.

- Really? The sea?

- Well, yes.

- The Adriatic Sea?

- Where do I find Dracula?

- He used to live in this very house

four centuries ago.

No one knows where he lives now.

Father would stare at that painting

for hours...

Iooking for Dracula's lair.

- So that's why you've come?

- I can help you.

- No one can help me.

- I can try.

You can die trying.

All of my family has.

- I can handle this myself.

- So I noticed.

The vampires attacked in daylight.

They never do that.

I was unprepared.

It won't happen again.

So why did they attack in daylight?

Clearly they wanted

to catch me off guard.

They seem almost desperate

to finish off my family.

- Why is that? Why now?

- You ask a lot of questions.

Usually I ask only two:

What are we dealing with?

How do I kill it?

My father spent most of his life

looking for answers year after year.

Tearing through the tower,

combing through the family archives.

- Carl, the tower. Start there.

- Right.

The only way to save your family is

to stay alive till Dracula's killed.

And who will kill him if not me?

Who will show courage if not me?

Go alone and you'll be outmanned

and outpositioned.

And you can't see in the dark.

In the morning, we will hunt him...

but we'll do it together.

Some say you're a murderer,

Mr. Van Helsing.

Others say you're a holy man.

Which is it?

It's a bit of both, I think.

- I promised you a drink.

- Yes, you did.

The bar is down the hall.

Help yourself.

As for me, I'm going to finish this

once and for all.

Sorry you've to carry

this burden alone.

On the contrary,

I would wish for it no other way.

I'm sorry about your father

and brother.

I will see them again.

We Transylvanians always look

on the brighter side of death.

- There's a brighter side of death?

- Yes. It's just harder to see.

I'm sorry about that, too.

Van Helsing!

Van Helsing?

- Velkan?

- Anna.

Oh, my God, you're alive.

No. Anna, I only have a moment.

- But there's a werewolf...

- Listen to me!

I know Dracula's secret.

He has a...

- Velkan?

- Please.

No!

Run, Anna.

Anna!

Are you all right?

Anna!

Why does it smell

like wet dog in here?

Werewolf!

Right. You'll be needing

silver bullets, then.

Well done.

Who's hunting whom?

Nice night.

This is a bit tight for me.

But for you it's a perfect fit.

What a coincidence.

I see the wolf man

hasn't killed you yet.

Don't worry, he's getting to it.

You don't seem bothered.

I'm no threat to him.

I'm just the one

who cleans up after him...

if you get my meaning.

Little late to be digging graves,

isn't it?

Never too late to dig graves.

You never know

when you'll need a fresh one.

Oh, sorry. It's just my nature.

- Move!

- No!

- Why?

- You're choking me!

- Give me a reason not to.
