01x05 - My Class Vampire

[bunniefuu]

Okay.

And I'm out of here.

I've got to practice.

Oh, Zoe. Your makeup.

Um, you…

You look pale.

Zoe, are you sure you're okay?

Okay.

Okay, perhaps we should have a day
in bed today. How's that sound?

A man's body has been
found early this morning

in an office block car park.

At this time, the man
has not been identified,

but it is believed he was an employee
of the property developer Jimmy K.

Police are treating
the death as suspicious

and have appealed for any
witnesses to come forward.

Social media says his
body was bloodless.

- Really?
- Eat your breakfast, Tyar.

It's like a
supernatural expl*si*n.

Uh, so, how's school, son?

Fine.

Your mother and I, we
were talking about things,

and, uh, we are
concerned. And...

Your father is worried

that you and your friends
are wasting too much time

on this Night Patrol nonsense.

It's not nonsense. It's
actually happening.

Of course, we support
your interests,

but, you know, we are
forward-thinking people

and we want you to
be so as well. Hmm?

Yes, Ibu.

Well, uh, I've been
thinking about our family.

- Did Grandpa have any special talents?
- No!

Uh, come on, Tyar.

You know your kakek is not a subject
for discussion in our house, right?

Just concentrate on your grades…

…and not concern yourself
so much about the past.

Oh, I… I gotta go.

- Ayah.
- Yeah, take care.

What's with this sudden
interest in his kakek?

He never even met him.

- Come on, Nat!
- Go, Nat!

You can do it!

Go, Nat!

He's doing really great.

- Yeah.
- He's doing so well.

Hey, Zoe. I've been texting.

Zoe?

How are you feeling? You better?

Hey.

We are getting stronger, dukun.
Another joined us last night.

What do you mean?

Hey, hey, Zoe.

- Hey, let… let go.
- Zoe.

Zoe, let him go.

- Yeah. Yeah.
- Zoe, let him go.

Hey. Whoa!

What the…

- Ling, are you all right?
- Yeah.

- What's up with her?
- I don't know. Trauma maybe?

She was trapped in a coffin.

Hey, Ling. Ling.

I just wanted to dance.

What is going
on in here? Hello?

- Hey, Hey. Hey, you! Hey!
- Let's just go.

Hey! Hey, hey, hey. You two.

- We really need to go.
- Yeah.

- Go back first.
- Come on.

It's something serious.

This
announcement is for all students

involved in the mass
hysteria event in gym class.

Any students adversely affected
are excused from attending school

for the remainder of the day.

Are you affected?

Very affected.

Same. Let's go.

I can't
see Nat's scooter.

Where would they go?

I don't know, but I have a
really bad feeling about this.

- Hey, have you guys seen Zoe around?
- Good question.

I was supposed to give her a ride.
Hey, something's happening here.

"Something's happening here."

What a perceptive.

Their phones are off.

- What?
- Oh, man.

Just that he was k*lled
in the car park. Nothing else yet.

Have you been to see the
family? Pay our respects?

Okay. We should cover
the funeral costs.

Yes, I have offered a generous
settlement from the company.

Good. Let's keep morale up.

Might be hard, sir, considering
an employee is found dead

without a single drop
of blood in his body.

- Hey, Dad.
- Ben.

What are you doing home?
Why aren't you in school?

School's got canceled. Bunch
of kids went hysterical.

What?

Wait, first a body, now hysterical
kids and a suspended school?

What's going on?

Ah, why am I asking you two?

Get out of here. Close the door.

Ben.

What do you mean hysterical?

I don't know. Like, crazy loopy.

Check this out.

You think Zoe was
psycho this morning?

Multiply that by ten.

Here.

Oh, wow. That's…

No.

I don't wanna tell Dad the exchange
student I'm taking care of has gone nuts.

Oh, no, no, no. You… You don't
bother him with this stuff.

Bothering him is my job, okay?

Okay.

Look, when he's stressed, he
takes it out on us, right?

Mm-hmm.

So, if we work together to
make his life a little easier,

he'll ease up on you.

And maybe eventually on me, too.

"We are getting
stronger, dukun.

Another joined us last night."
That's what she said, word for word.

She called you a dukun?

And what does "another
one joined us" mean?

- Joined what?
- I don't know.

A demon cult or something maybe?

We saw how everyone was
drawn into her dance, right?

- And the way she pushed you.
- That wasn't Zoe for sure.

Yeah.

Oh.

It's my ma.

- Hello, Ibu.
- Hello, sweetheart.

I received a call from school
saying class is canceled.

- Are you on your way home?
- Uh, yeah.

I'm with Ling right now.
We're… We're chilling.

Mm, okay, but please
be home before dark.

I heard on the news
that police are saying

they believe the man they found
in the carpark was m*rder*d.

I'll feel safer
when you're home.

End the call. End the call.

Uh, okay, okay, Ibu.
I'll be safe. Take care.

Oh, by the way, Ling says hi.

Hi, Ling.

Maybe that's what she meant,
"another joined us last night."

The man that was k*lled in the
carpark, he's a spirit now.

Feel like a visit to the morgue?

Are you asking me out on a date?

No.

Zoe! Wait!
What are you doing?

What are
you doing? You're crazy!

Hey, hey, whoa, whoa.
What's going on?

Zoe?

- Did I hear a squeal?
- No!

Uh, it
was the, uh, video game.

I guess.

- You all right?
- Yeah.

He will join us later,
and more will follow.

Wait, wait, wait.

Let's play Doctors
and Dead Bodies.

Is that an actual game?

Just hurry up and
get on this thing.

- It's called a gurney.
- A plus.

Where's the morgue?

Whoa, whoa.

Just… Just act dead.

What's happening?

Where are we?

Oh, in there.

Don't ever consider a career
as a hospital orderly.

Nothing.

Yeah, that's him.

Well, he looks
really, really dead.

Well, let's not
jump to conclusions.

Why don't you check
his fingernails for splinters?

Okay.

Let's just…

Oh.

Okay, nope. No splinters.

What does "exsanguination" mean?

Drain… Drained of blood.

Drained of blood
like… like a vampire?

Maybe. I mean, we've
seen some strange things.

What about the Jikininki?
Was she a vampire, too?

Your dad said she was a ghoul.

But maybe the Jikininki
wasn't alone in the shack.

Wait. Like, there was a
vampire in the shack, too?

Maybe… Maybe the coffin
wasn't the Jikininki's coffin.

Are you trying to say that it
could be a vampire's coffin?

Uh, I don't know.

I mean, Ling, we've been
seeing some pretty weird stuff.

You know, it explains
this guy's lack of blood.

You think?

A vampire?

A vampire!

- No! Go back! Go back!
- No! Move back!

What?

Where did it go?

Let's get out of here.

Did you see
the way it moved?

It hopped. I think it's
turning into a jiangshi.

A hopping vampire?

And he died last night,

so that means the original
vampire is already in town.

Maybe he isn't the only victim.

We need to find Nat and Zoe.
They're in serious danger.

But do you even know how
to battle a jiangshi?

I need Grandpa's book.

- Your dad has it.
- Okay.

Pa?

Yeah, I'm working.

You left the shop open again!

If people want
something, they'll just call out.

I'm working!

I swear to God, one day he's gonna
come up to find everything stolen.

Okay, what else do we need?

Okay, garlic and crucifixes
are only for Western vampires,

and I don't think it will work
on a Chinese hopping vampire.

What do they use in
the Hong Kong movies?

Bagua mirrors and Taoist
prayers in yellow papers.

And where can we get those?

This is my dad
we're talking about.

Vinegar?

It's worked before.

Yellow paper, check.

Bagua mirror, check.

Sticky rice?

Oh, right.

- Okay.
- What is is it?

Sticky rice, sticky rice,
sticky rice. Oh, here.

Okay.

"All undead are trapped
spirits. No matter what form,

they must be released to the
afterworld to create balance."

"Sticky rice
may aid their journey."

But will it work on a jiangshi?

- I don't know.
- We don't…

We don't know
that we can beat it?

No.

It's Nat.

Where are you?

The old warehouse
on Jalan Darah.

It's Zoe. She chased
me. I'm really scared.

Just hide. We'll come
find you. Stay where you are.

They're coming.

I remember from
those old jiangshi movies

that if you don't make any
sound, he won't able to find you.

Yeah, that's cool.

We… We just have to be silent.

Like ninjas.

- Phone lights?
- Definitely.

Whoa.

Hey, Zoe.

- How's it going?
- I have a gift for you.

- Eternal life.
- Thanks.

But… But no thanks.

Welcome, peeps.

- Don't be scared.
- Dude.

The bite is, like, super nice

if you relax into
it, like Nat did.

I really, really miss the
vegetarian Zoe right now.

- You're funny.
- Don't struggle, friend.

Remember to enjoy
the experience.

It… It worked.

I… I
hope they're okay.

Okay, quick, check the ritual.

All right.

- Oh, no.
- The jiangshi.

- Ling, Ling.
- Yeah? Okay.

Go, go, go.

- Tyar, hit him!
- No, no, no!

- Tyar!
- Ling!

- The vinegar!
- Ling!

Tyar, the vinegar!

What happened to my face?

You're serious?
We were vampires?

- Yeah.
- I don't remember any of it.

Let's go.

Who's that?

Late night
update, Midnighters.

Supernatural got
super real today

when mass hysteria broke
out at the school gym.

Like a virus, possessed
students found themselves

in an uncontrolled frenzy.

How do I know that?

Mr. Midnight knows everything.

Mr. Midnight is everywhere.

But so is the evil that
infects our humble home.

Keep an eye out.

If a friend or loved
one is acting strangely,

they may also be contagious.

But Mr. Midnight will
keep the oil burning.

Together, we can win.

Good night, Midnighters.

For now.

Cut.

Oh, you're up.

Hey, uh, big day. I'm so wrecked that
I'm going to head straight up to…

bed.

We need to talk, Tyar.
