Dad,

don't leave me, please.

I'm sorry.

But I really can't be with your mom anymore.

What about me?

Don't worry.

I'll come back for you.

Dad!

I'll come back for you.

Dad, don't go.

I'll come back to take you with me.

Dad!

- Don't go! - Jackie.

You can't leave me, understand?

Don't go!

You can't leave me.

Dad, don't go!

I only have you now!

You can never, ever leave me!

Dad, don't go!

You can never leave me!

You can never leave me!

Dad!

Nightmare?

It's okay now.

How long until we get to the cable car?

I'll wake you when we're there.

Rest a bit more.

We're here.

Let's go up.

Just listen to me.

Come on.

It's okay.

That's how you look after her?

None of your business!

Why are you here?

If you can't take care of her, let her stay with me.

Stop making excuses!

Why should I?

What have you done for her these past 18 years?

You kept her away from me, remember?

She'd have done much better if she were with me.

But now, she has to come here!

You never went to college.

Besides cooking,

what else can you do?

I may not be educated,

but I gave Jackie everything I had!

What have you given her?

Don't forget,

I got her into this cram school.

That's the least you should do.

I paid the tuition.

You paid nothing.

Anyway,

I won't let her end up like you.

A lifetime of failure.

Hey!

Come help.

Okay.

Everyone,

come move this stuff. We need this later.

Coming.

Let's go.

Something's definitely going on here.

The school and the townspeople are in cahoots.

This is Smart Town's secret.

Every student's death is connected to this.

How did you get in here?

Keep quiet.

We need to get out of here.

Put things here.

Hurry!

Corbin asked us to

put all the leaves and fruits away tonight.

Hurry, they're coming.

No,

I can't untie it.

Come on.

Hurry.

Hey, he's getting away!

Hey!

Come on.

There! He's getting away!

Come on.

- You okay? - Yeah.

Go on. Go.

Catch up. Hurry.

Ray.

Ray!

Ray!

Ray!

Ray!

Ray!

What are you doing? Let's go!

Ray is...

in the tree...

Forget it. Get up.

But...

Just forget it. Come on.

- Ray. - Get up.

- Liam. - Ray.

Get up.

Ray.

Liam.

Ray is dead.

We can't let him die for nothing.

You have to live

and save the other students.

Over here!

Go!

Don't let their sacrifice be in vain!

Get out alive and expose everything!

Mr. Gao!

Mr. Gao, let's leave together!

Don't come close!

Mr. Gao!

Go!

Run away!

You wanna run, huh?

Don't come closer!

You wanna run?

Back off!

Help!

What?

Help!

What happened?

Eliot?

- Cockroach! - What happened?

- Cockroach! - Cockroach? Where?

My neck.

- My neck. - Where?

Don't touch it!

It hurts!

Okay. It hurts.

What happened?

My head...

My head is falling off.

Your head is falling off?

My head is falling off.

Eliot, tell me.

Tell me what's wrong.

Think of something!

Okay, I'll think.

Put your hands down.

- Put them down. - Be gentle.

- Yes. - Be gentle.

Be gentle. Gentle.

What's wrong?

Eliot, stop thinking about your head, okay?

Come on. Put your hands down.

Please put them down.

Your head won't fall off.

This exam is very important.

You need to pass it.

Stop thinking about your head.

Listen to me.

- Do well. - Put your hands down.

Don't... Your head won't fall off.

You're too slow.

It'll be dark before we get to the school.

Quiet.

- Be quiet! - Okay...

I'll stay quiet.

Relax.

- What should I do? - Let's go.

Just relax.

Don't stress.

Look at your classmates.

Come on. Let's go.

Come on. Everyone's moving.

Hurry.

Can't be late for school.

Stop thinking about your head.

Yes. That's it. Relax.

Just listen to my words.

- Let's go. - Shut up.

Regarding atoms A, B, C,

which statement about their molecules is correct?

D?

Alright, D.

Regarding atoms A, B, C,

which statement about their structures is correct?

E?

Alright.

Joey,

who are you talking to?

Sir, she keeps talking to herself. It's so annoying.

How can we do our exam with all the noise?

Yeah, she's so noisy.

Joey,

no talking during exams.

Joey!

So noisy. Shut up!

- What? You have my answers? - Joey!

- You'll get me into the elite class? - Calm down!

Calm down!

Give me the answers?

Joey!

- Tell me, are you? - Joey!

This is exam time.

Tell me!

- Give me the answers! - Joey.

- Give me the answers! - Joey!

- Let me take the exam! - Stay back.

Give me the answers, and I'll go!

- Vance. - Celia, what happened to you?

- Can you hear me? - Celia.

Relax your body, okay?

Celia, don't be like this.

Do you know why I wanted to see you?

Professor Kang,

is there something you need me to do?

Do you know

who gave the leaves to those parents?

How can I help my son?

He's too sick to go to school now.

That's a side effect.

New users are like this.

Once he gets used to it, he'll be fine.

He won't stay crazy like that, will he?

Smart has fed it to students for over 20 years.

Do you think there's a problem?

He'll be fine in a few days.

Right.

If they all went crazy, how could there still be

so many top scorers?

But the effect is really obvious.

Super obvious.

Many parents have come looking for me.

Take these leaves and share them.

Come back for more if you need.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Here.

Fresh leaves.

Who wants some?

I do...

Wait...

Wait.

Go home and bring your own bags.

I'll wait here.

If you're late and miss out, that's on you.

Okay, sure.

Grandpa.

Grandpa.

Grandpa.

What happened to you?

Grandpa.

Come on. Get up.

Get up and play with me.

Blood-bubble fruits taste better.

Mr. Kang!

Mr. Kang,

I found something.

It's Corbin.

He secretly planted blood-bubble bushes!

Here.

He's got a death wish?

He had the nerve to betray me.

This is how he repays me?

He's such an ingrate.

Ingrate?

You're so easy to fool.

You...

Hackett!

What are you doing?

Look.

Beautiful?

What good does following him do?

You think you can get what you want after catching me?

The blood-bubble fruits are hidden somewhere safe.

My brother James is gonna come for you.

You're easier to deal with

than Professor Kang.

Now, I'm going to make you

hand over all the blood-bubble fruits.

Then, Professor Kang...

Will come to this filthy place

and do anything you say?

Professor Kang.

Welcome.

Since I know what you're up to,

maybe we should just settle it today.

Why wait?

I just can't hide anything from you, huh?

Who did you buy off?

Help me

find out who's behind all this.

Take these leaves and share them.

Come back for more if you need.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You know

blood-bubble fruit causes hallucinations.

Yet you dipped the leaves in its juice

(Professor James Kang) Yet you dipped the leaves in its juice

(Professor James Kang) and gave them to those parents.

Corbin,

what are you really after?

Corbin,

is this true?

What did he tell you?

You can have as many leaves

as you want?

This guy wanted revenge

and messed up the whole school.

If the school falls,

there will be no fertilizer

and no leaves.

Whoever takes him down now

will have leaves for life.

Corbin.

Sorry.

I thought we were brothers,

and you betrayed me?

You only care about avenging your wife.

We have to think of ourselves!

Professor Kang will give us leaves!

To him, you're all fertilizer.

Sorry.

Liam, give me back the fruits!

Now!

Where's that jar?

That thing will kill you! Are you out of your mind?

Where is it?

Snap out of it!

I can't take care of you now.

Everyone's in danger.

Have your grandpa take you out of here.

James,

did you hear me?

Let me go.

I'm your big brother.

Shut up.

Did I say you could speak?

All these years,

I've put so much effort

into this school.

And you?

For your own gain,

you hoarded the blood-bubble bushes

and used them to threaten me.

Now you want me to let you go?

Answer my questions.

After all these years of planting,

you only gave me the leaves.

So where did you keep the fruits?

Why would you do this?

Without me, you couldn't have become what you are today.

Who are those people?

Why isn't Corbin here yet?

Didn't he promise to give me the leaves?

I remember that Vera.

Her belly was so big then.

And she was crying,

saying her baby

was about to be born.

She didn't eat the blood-bubble fruit.

Of course she would say that.

She knew nothing about our experiment.

We fed the fruits to all the women in town.

But it worked best on her.

We cut open her belly

and her womb.

Inside was a baby boy.

The baby's body

was already taken over

by the growing blood-bubble bush.

I couldn't even separate the roots.

The baby's heartbeat and the bush's heartbeat

had merged.

Do you know how excited I was?

That was my first successful experiment.

Our blood-bubble bush finally bore fruit!

Where are the blood-bubble fruits?

Her screams

seemed louder than yours.

But that's how experiments are.

For results,

sacrifices are necessary.

The faint of heart can't accomplish great things.

Anyone who stands in the way of this plan

will be eliminated.

Blood-bubble bushes can only

bear fruit on women who've been pregnant.

That's the main reason we can't expand.

The second reason is that you always hold us back.

Now, it's time for you to contribute to the experiment.

No, no!

I'll tell you.

In my kitchen's cellar.

The fruits are there.

That's more like it.

Thanks, big bro.

Corbin,

no rush.

You'll be next.

I'll go get the fruits.

You guys bury Neil as fertilizer.

We'll deal with Corbin later.

Okay.

Got it.

What happened yesterday after you left?

What about you?

Are you okay?

Professor Kang handed me over to the townspeople.

I was taken to a place full of those bushes.

Mr. Gao showed up and saved me.

Professor Kang!

He's not here.

Professor Kang!

Please ask him to come out.

He's really not here.

How come?

- What's going on? - Professor Kang.

You're finally back.

They've been pestering us.

Professor Kang,

please let my grandson back into the elite class.

He only wants the food there.

He won't eat anything else.

The top 30 on the mock exam get in.

Make him study harder.

What?

What the hell?

Jared?

Jared!

- Jared - Go away!

Jared! Don't push him!

Let go of him!

Let go of him!

Let go!

Let go of him!

Anyway, I escaped.

That's it.

What about you?

I have nowhere to go now.

Why?

They forced me to go back to school.

Didn't you say

you could go to your dad?

My dad's no different from my mom.

What are you going to do?

Destroy those bushes and fruits.

I'll go with you.

It's too dangerous.

Last night...

I found...

I found Ray's body.

Mr. Gao died saving me.

So I have to go.

It's not your fault.

Really.

It's not your fault.

Thank you.

But I still have to go.

Do be careful.

No!

No!

No!

Don't kill my wife and child.

Don't!

Your classmates and teacher are down there too!

Don't!

They're all alive.

Really. All alive.

Don't.

The blood-bubble bushes only grow on living people.

They're all alive.

You want to kill them?

What are you laughing at?

Tell me!

Why did you kill Ray?

You murderer!

Where are the other bushes?

Where are the fruits?

Release me.

I can help you.

After all this chaos,

I've fully taken over Smart Town.

There won't be any more accidents.

Congrats, Professor Kang.

From now on,

everything inside and outside the school follows my rules.

Smart Cram School will have a better future.

Definitely.

Professor Kang,

I have a favor to ask.

Go ahead.

Can you put my daughter in the elite class?

You know,

she's been devastated by recent events.

I want her to study

in a quiet environment.

That's against the rules.

Well, Professor Kang,

how about this?

There are only few blood-bubble bushes left.

You must be worried.

I can move up the plan

and give you a bush.

(First top scorer: Benjamin Zhao, 688 points)

Alright.

You can have what you want.

After all, you've helped me for years.

Benjamin,

you're my most capable helper.

There aren't many blood-bubble bushes left.

We need more fertilizer.

Make sure your juniors

keep an eye out

and bring in more suitable families.

Got it.

I'll tell them when I get back.

Did everything go smoothly

with this term's poor students?

Lost quite a few.

Among those you sent here,

a student named Chloe

died accidentally.

Her father died too.

Died?

Hmm.

John and his daughter?

What a pity.

I planned to bring her mom over too.
