01x12 - Forest of Fear

[bunniefuu]

[object clatters]

[ominous music plays]

[indistinct shouting]

[bawling]

[bawling continues]

[crying]

[bawling]

[newscaster] If we look
thoroughly, we can see…

[voice breaking] …a severe low
pressure system is developing.

It is very unusual
for this time of year.

Experts are warning
a very strong storm.

Possibly a typhoon.

What is wrong with
this television?

Sylvia!

Sylvi... Ben!

Yes?

- Have you seen Sylvia?
- No, I haven't seen her.

- I don't think she's here.
- Great.

- Of all the days.
- Dad?

- Do you have time to talk about Zoe?
- No, Ben. I don't have time.

I'm trying to
organize this rally.

I mean, street party.

- Yeah, but if you could talk...
- No!

I've told you, Ben.
She's out of here.

Did you go into town this morning?
Have they set up the stage?

- I don't know.
- Have they hung the election posters?

- I don't know.
- Are the vendors setting up?

- I don't know.
- Well, what do you know?

[sighs]

Just go and find Sylvia.

At least she knows what
the hell is going on.

[scoffs]

I thought you said
she hasn't a clue?

She's always much
more clever than you.

- Never mind.
- Just go.

Absolutely no help.

And get someone to fix
the damn television!

What did he say?

He didn't even listen to me.

I mean, there's gotta be
something else we can try.

It's over.

Hey, at least I got to spend
some time with Mr. Cool.

[sighs] I'm tired of always
doing what my dad says.

It's time I stood
on my own two feet.

I mean, school is finishing
soon and maybe I should travel.

Where would you go?

I've always wanted
to visit England.

[chuckles]

That would be nice.

[both chuckle]

[Ben] Yeah.

So, are your friends
going to the street party?

Um, I don't know. I
haven't heard from anyone.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm good.

Okay.

Although, I've been
thinking about something.

What's that?

What happened to the urn? The
one the Hutan Lahir was bound in.

You really want to know?

There is a temple, hidden in
the hills behind the cemetery.

It is a dark shrine
to the Hutan Lahir.

Centuries old.

You left the urn
there, in her shrine?

- Why?
- The demon was…

Is bound.

- I'm sure of it.
- But how do you know?

After I defeated her, I placed
a dukun protection symbol.

She has no power there anymore.

So, whatever's happening in Tanah Merah
now, isn't because of the Hutan Lahir.

We need to see the urn. And
then we'll know for sure.

There is something you must
understand about the binding.

The Hutan Lahir, or anything
controlled by her, would be in agony

if they touched a dukun's mark.

But what if someone
took the urn?

Taking it away from the
protections, the seals?

Well, it would have been someone pretty
reckless to remove the protection,

even accidentally.

[sighs]

Feels like there's
something missing.

[knock at door]

[Uncle Tan] Why don't
you answer your phone?

Uh…

No… No signal. What's wrong?

Ling is missing.

Do you have any
idea where she is?

[sniffles]

I should've been more careful.

I should never have...

The Hutan Lahir has been after
all of them for weeks now.

No. I bound the demon.

- It must be...
- It escaped.

[sighs] How can you
be so sure? Hmm?

I found this.

[Zihan gasps]

Get that thing out of my house.

[female voice]
Breathe in and hold.

Two, three, four, and out.

[chuckles]

Nice.

Nat, you are a genius.

[video glitching]

[taps keys rapidly]

[yelps]

Hello, Nat.

I have to tell you, I'm
really pleased with you.

[groans]

Not you again!

You've done a great job.

I really am going bananas.

You did the right thing. You got
the message and you backed off.

I gave up.

No, no, no, no! "Gave
up" sounds so negative.

Sometimes backing away from
danger is the wisest choice.

My friends…

They're not your friends.

You could've been
hurt. They didn't care.

I was hurt.

Sometimes, these difficult
lessons are hard to learn.

Now, Nat. I want you to stay in your
room just a little while longer.

- Yeah?
- Why?

What are you gonna do?

- It will all be over by morning.
- Why? What are you gonna do?

Wait! What are you gonna do?

[female voice] Breathe in…

No way. Bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S.

Bananas, bananas.
Bananas, bananas.

Bananas, bananas.

- What's this?
- It's your mask.

You're coming with me
to the street party.

We need to show our
family face to the people.

Why not? Wanna come?
One last hurrah?

- Not you.
- [Zoe] Sure.

You're not invited.

Why not? She can
come if she wants.

No, she can't. I paid for
this party. I say who goes.

I will have security remove her.

Dad, it's a public street!

Not if I own it.

Ben, you are far too
young to know everything.

Dad, perhaps I know more
than you give me credit for.

Did you know Sylvia has been
leaking information to Mr. Midnight?

[sighs]

It's okay, I didn't want to go to
the stupid old street party anyway.

No, we're going.

Who died and made you boss?

No, I mean, I think we
should go to the party.

Ben, your dad made it pretty
clear I wasn't invited.

Have you forgotten?

It's a mask party.

A small kampong outside of town

has been plagued by strange
incidents for months now.

One of Jimmy K's
developments unearthed that.

No. No, I left it in the temple.

- It was bound when I...
- Zihan, come on.

- What will it take to convince you?
- What's this?

[Uncle Tan] It's ichor.

Wherever the demon has been,
that marks his presence.

Her. The Hutan Lahir is a woman.

A demon witch.

How did I miss that?

She has my daughter.

- We don't know that.
- She has my daughter.

Ibu, I know the pain
you've been through,

and this will
probably lead to more,

and to do nothing and
hide will be much worse.

You grew up so fast.

Okay. Get all your
friends to the curio shop.

All? Nat, too?

You are all in danger. You
must convince him, too.

[Tyar] Okay, I'll
get Zoe and Ben.

Together we can figure out
how to get Nat to join us.

Hey, could I see that?

[gasps]

That's amazing.

It is my father's.

There must be other
spirits helping us.

Here.

What about Ling?

- [door opens, closes]
- I believe I know where she is.

But you need to get
to the shop, too.

I have something to do first.

- We should get to her now.
- No.

We have to be
together to help her.

No one is safe alone.

Bananas. It's
bananas, it's bananas.

[sighs]

Come on, Nat.

What are you doing?

You're hiding. That's what.

Your friends,

they need you!

Come on! Get your act together.

What are you, a man or a mouse?

- [bang on door]
- [yelps]

Okay. [yelps]

[thumping]

[boy] Hey, keep it
down! I'm studying here!

Squeak.

[knocks]

Hello?

Zoe?

Hello?

Um, sorry, the door was
open when I came in.

Um, I'm looking for Zoe.
Do you know where she is?

[Sylvia] She's not here.

Right.

I thought you'd be
at the street party.

Oh, I will be.

Okay.

Um…

I've been meaning to ask,

how long have you
worked for Jimmy K?

Well, not long, I guess.

Although it can seem
a lifetime sometimes.

- Have you always lived in Tanah Merah?
- Yes.

I've been here a
long, long time.

- Where did you work before...
- You are such a curious boy, aren't you?

So many questions, Tyar.

Although I'm wondering, have
you been busy lately, Tyar?

- Because you're looking very tired.
- Yeah.

So, you don't know where Zoe is?

No, sorry. I haven't seen her.

- Okay.
- Tyar?

I am worried about you, Tyar.

- Me?
- Yes.

Well, you seem to take all the worries of
the world onto your shoulders, you know?

Stressful, isn't it?

[exhales]

- Yes?
- I'm tired.

[exhales]

My friends…

Have to see my friends.

Ah, yes, your friends.

Now where are your friends?

Poor little Tyar.

You cared for your friends so
much, yet they've all left you.

Nat doesn't want
anything to do with you.

And Zoe is leaving.

And Ling…

Ling has disappeared,
hasn't she?

And you have no friends.

You're all alone.

[Tyar shuddering]

Tyar, Tyar, Tyar.

Come on, Tyar, Tyar.

Perhaps I should be your friend.

[chuckles]

How did you know
Ling was missing?

Because she was with me.

[gasping]

[upbeat music playing]

[Zoe] I didn't realize
it was a spooky theme.

[Ben] It isn't.
It's a mask party.

- Everyone seems to be into it naturally.
- Yeah, I guess it's on everyone's minds.

Uh-huh.

I… I feel over-dressed now.

I don't know.
Pretty cute rabbit.

- Why, thank you, Austin.
- [mimics Austin Powers] Yeah, baby.

That was almost a
British accent. Almost.

- [in normal voice] So harsh.
- So close.

Hey, hey, Zoe? Do
you feel the vibe?

- Party time?
- No, no, no, no, it's something else.

Yeah, it feels a little crazy.

Hey, bozo! It's polite
to say "excuse me."

Look, forget about it.

Look, I think… I think
maybe we should go.

- Yeah. This is not as fun as I thought.
- [Ben] Yeah.

- Zoe! Ling is missing!
- What?

We believe she's been
captured by the Hutan Lahir.

The who? I've never
heard of the Hutan...

Ben, I know. Tyar
told me everything.

The Hutan Lahir is
after Mr. Midnight.

That means she is
after all of you.

You need to go to the curio
shop now. We need to move fast.

- Okay, okay. Let's go, let's go.
- Okay.

Did she just say "she"?

[cell phone ringing]

[cell phone chimes]

Nat.

[breathing heavily]

Oh, no.

So let me get this straight,
Ling is possessed and missing.

Jimmy K is just a tool that has
nothing to do with any of this.

The Hutan Lahir
is his secretary.

Your mother's a dukun and there's
nothing in this book that can help.

So, basically, we're stuffed.

Yeah.

Okay. I'm in.

Are you okay?

[chuckles nervously]

I know I wigged out before,

but once I realized it
was okay to be scared,

I realized I wasn't
that scared anymore.

Go figure. Huh?

Plus, now I have my own
personal protection.

It's good to see you again.

I've missed you, dude.

- So, what's the plan?
- I have no idea.

Great. Let's go.

[upbeat music playing]

- [Nat] Sorry.
- [feedback over mic]

- [tap on mic]
- [Jimmy speaks Bahasa]

- Are we ready to party?
- [crowd cheering]

Okay.

This is all on me and
it's all for Mayor Daffa.

[loud cheering]

So we're gonna pump up the
volume and really party tonight!

Let's go!

[upbeat music continues playing]

What's happening, Uncle Tan?

Nice costumes.

- You saw Tyar?
- No. His mum found us.

[Ben] So why did it grab Ling?

It needs her for something.

What does it need her for?

I bet it's nothing good.

[Zihan] Lufti!

Lufti! Lufti!

Bring it down please.
Bring it down.

[music volume reduces]

[crowd booing]

[indistinct shouting]

[Mayor Daffa] What
are you doing?

Taking it down a notch.

That's not your job.
Come on, blast the music!

- [music volume increases]
- [crowd cheering]

[Lufti] The crowd is
getting out of hand!

[Mayor Daffa] Huh?

[Lufti] It's going crazy!

Check out all the people
wearing Mr. Midnight masks.

- Yeah. Pretty cool.
- Dude, we're famous.

What is this?

That is the bound urn that held
the spirit of the Hutan Lahir.

- Wait, the demon was trapped in this?
- [Uncle Tan] Yes.

By Zihan. For more
than 20 years.

- Tyar's mum?
- Yes. She's a dukun, too.

Whoa, spoilers!

Imagine being
imprisoned in this.

I mean, how would you
feel after all that time?

Pretty pissed, I guess.

You've done very well, Ling.

Your mother would be proud.

- She'd be proud?
- Of course.

You're a good girl.

And it's nearly
time for a reward.

Reward.

Just one more thing to do
first. And then the reward.

And it'll be a good one, too.

What is it?

I'm going to let you
see your mother again.

- You are?
- Yes.

I'm going to let you join us,

so then you can see your
mother all the time.

Won't that be nice?

Join us?

To see your mother, you
have to be one of us.

- Yeah.
- Very good.

Now, you know what to do.

I must warn you though,
this may hurt a little.

[gasps]

[blues music playing]

[chuckles]

Finally.

Do it now.

Do it now!

[cries]

[screams]

[all screaming]

The seals…

[Nat groans]

- Nat.
- [coughs]

Hey, you okay?

[Nat] What was that?

The dukun seals are gone. The
town is no longer protected.

What does that mean?

She's here.

[cackles]

[blues music continues playing]

Pa.

[music stops]
