01x07 - Cinema of Doom

[bunniefuu]

Tyar left home!

What do you mean, "in
a traditional sense"?

What other sense is there?

Well, you've obviously never
been to boarding school.

Okay. Yeah, I guess in
a traditional sense.

Okay, that's huge. His
parents are actually awesome.

I had no clue it was so toxic
for him back home. Did you?

Maybe a bit.

This is all our fault.

Yeah, but he saved
someone's life.

I mean, his mum's a doctor.

Why isn't she on board
with his healing juju?

She should be proud.

He wants to chill. I'll call.

You know what
"alone" means, right?

I should call.

Okay. I mean, go ahead,
treat him like a child.

I've known him my whole
life, he's my best friend,

so I think I know Tyar.

Okay, if you think that's
a reason to suffocate him.

Ben?

Ben.

Hey.

I'm sorry to disturb you.

All good, just you
know, uh, studying.

Your father wants to see you.

Can't you tell him I'm out?

And lie? I don't think so.

Sylvia says you want to see me?

Come.

It's more impressive every
time you see it, isn't it?

Sure.

Sure? Is that all?

This is your future, son.

The train of prosperity
has left the station.

Change is inevitable.
Change is good.

There are those in council
dragging their feet.

The heritage listing on the old
cinema is costing us a lot of money.

I have some guys going
there tonight to start work,

and I need you to supervise.
You know what I mean?

- No.
- Oh, Ben.

Please use some of that
genetically inherited nous!

Vandals are trashing the cinema
and I need you to supervise.

But everyone loves
the old cinema.

Leave it.

Dad, you reminisced about how
much fun you had at the cinema

with Lufti and
the mayor as kids.

Lufti's a sardine.
He thinks small.

We're sharks, Ben. We think
a lot bigger than that.

- Change is good.
- Why do you have to destroy everything?

What I don't get is why
you're so ungrateful.

What's happened to you?

Nothing. No one.

So are you gonna do it?

Well, I don't exactly
have a choice.

Well, of course
you have a choice.

Besides, people in Tanah Merah are
tired of the destruction and corruption.

You choose to work for him, and
you're in no position to judge.

Guilty conscience?

You can talk.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Have you seen Ben?

Oh, yeah. He just left. He's
running an errand for Jimmy.

What? What's going on?

I shouldn't say anything,
but I am worried, though.

Well, you can tell me.
We're friends, right?

Jimmy would fillet me if
he knows I said anything.

Seriously, Sylv,
you can trust me.

Sylv?

Please tell me?

Nothing from Tyar.

He must
still be outside.

The fight with his parents
must be really bad.

They're so tight,
just like Pa and I.

I wouldn't know, to be honest.

I'm such an afterthought for my
family that I stopped caring.

Nat, I… I didn't mean...

Nah. Oh. All good.

Ivy Sal. Incoming.

"Don't miss the late session at the
movies tonight. It's spooky stuff."

- Didn't the cinema close?
- Yeah.

- Let's check it out.
- Now?

- Yeah! Come on.
- It's pretty late.

That's why it's called
the midnight session.

Come on.

You live to stress me out!

Wow.

I'm really over Jimmy K and Ben.

They're next-level disgusting.

Come on, hurry.

It's supposed
to be closed down.

Hey!

What are you doing here?

Nothing.
Who are you?

You shouldn't be here
watching a movie, kid.

It… It was open before.

It's okay. I'll… I'll leave.

I'll leave, okay?

A zombie stole the kid!

What?

A zombie stole the kid?

I don't know that one. Do you?

No.

Nothing to see here. Let's go.

Not so fast.

What's going on here?

What are you doing
here, demolition boy?

- I came to...
- Whoa! Ling!

- Take it down a notch or two, okay?
- Ben, are you okay?

Are you crazy? I didn't mean
"attack him," I meant "stop them."

Hold on, you told them?

Yes! I'm sorry, but
your dad is crazy.

My dad sent vandals, not me, okay?
I was coming here to stop them.

Well, we already
scared them off.

I was sent to supervise them trashing
the place, but I didn't want to.

Just like the fishing village. Didn't
want to do that either I suppose?

I'm not doing my dad's
dirty work anymore.

That's awesome, right, guys?

- Come on.
- Is that a movie playing?

Why would th*gs be
scared of a horror movie?

I wonder what it's called?

A Zombie Stole the Kid.

What?

Who cares?

Why is it even playing at all?

I'm going to check it
out. Who's coming with me?

Guess you are, Ben.

What?

Well, might as well watch the
movie. Looks like my kind of film.

I've had enough of horror
movies for one lifetime, okay?

You know, trapped in a
coffin and the vampire thing.

Face your fears, I say!

I try to. I can't
say that it works.

Are you scared?

I wonder if Ben
and Ling are okay.

Well, you're safe with me.

Besides, after what we went through,
you biting my neck and stuff,

it kind of brought us closer
together, don't you think?

Um…

I… I guess, in a "just
friends" kind of way, yeah?

Are you sure? Because I
thought there was a spark.

I think that was the
vampire possession, Nat.

Do you think they're okay?

Sure.

Maybe we can talk about these
vampire possession feelings?

No film?

Maybe it's digital.

Seriously?

I'm just trying to
lighten the mood.

Man, these things are loud.

Nat, something's up.
Do you know this movie?

Maybe it's a clue.

Move, Ling, I can't see it!

Never seen it!

And I've seen, like,
every horror movie ever.

Even every Asian horror.

Oh, no. Not again.

It's okay. We can get
through this together.

Holy Swiss cheese! That's Tyar!

I'm so triggered.

Ling! Are you seeing this?
Tyar is in the freaking movie!

Tyar?

Huh?

Tyar!

Tyar! Can he hear us?

Guys, it's a movie.

So he can see us
but not hear us.

Is that some kind
of movie trope?

Tyar?

Ling! Ling!

What are we going to do?

Rasakan akibatnya.

Intruders.

She's coming at us!

Yeah. And what is
she going to do? Huh?

It is a film!

Look out!

Okay.

- I'm going to die.
- Yeah, I'm having an actual heart attack.

Hey, again?

- Ghost lady, over here!
- Shh.

Okay, do we have to do this?
Hey, you old corpse, over here!

…friend and we can help you too.

Okay, now
we have her attention.

What do we do now?

Maybe she's friendly? Huh?

Or not! Run!

Get away from him, you zombie!

Over here!

Did you see how heroic that was?

The projector! Projector!

He's pointing.

He's pointing at
the projection room!

Do you hear anything?

Ha!

- Ling!
- Ben?

We need to smash the projector!

Wait!

Ben! Help!

- Ling, the plug!
- What plug?

The projector!
Just pull the plug!

- Which plug?
- Whichever!

Okay.

Lady! Hey, over here!

Oh! What?

Ling, the switch!

Let go!
