Van Helsing (2004)

Question: How did Verona know Carl and why did she cry out his name after going after the decoy carriage with the stake bomb?

Answer: There is a lot of backstory to the Van Helsing film, because they intended to do sequels and prequels (if this film was successful, which was not the case). Carl was a well-known agent for the Vatican who supplied Van Helsing with numerous and ingenious weapons for fighting werewolves, vampires, et cetera. When Verona screams Carl's name, she's acknowledging that Carl bested her.

If Van Helsing was James Bond, then Carl would be "Q"; Carl created the devices and tricks that made Van Helsing physically invincible.

I just watched that clip because I didn't know she said his name but I'm pretty sure she says "no" not "Carl".
