Original subtitles

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.

Among those you sent here,

a student named Chloe died accidentally.

Her father died too.

Died?

John and his daughter?

What a pity.

I planned to bring her mom over too.

We need more people as fertilizer.

I'm working with other parents.

What are you talking about?

Use people as fertilizer?

So Chloe and her dad

died because of you?

Are you going to talk or not?

I've already told you.

The blood-bubble bushes only grow on living people.

Their leaves

make the students smarter.

This school has been kidnapping people and using them as fertilizer.

Not just Professor Kang.

Many others are accomplices.

I will stop them today.

I'll destroy everything.

It's no use.

As long as blood-bubble fruits exist,

there will be a demand.

There will always be another James.

Where are the blood-bubble fruits?

James took them all to school.

Release me.

I can help you.

I don't need your help.

I'll destroy all the blood-bubble fruits.

You killed Ray

and so many people.

I'll never trust you.

You want revenge.

I want revenge too.

We're the same.

We're the same.

Jackie!

Jackie!

Jackie,

Jackie, listen to me.

Let go!

They're all from the bottom of society.

All hopeless.

Failing to get into a good school is worse than death.

I just gave her a chance.

Chloe didn't want to die at all!

She wanted to live.

Her death was an accident.

Why blame me for that?

She was already on the fertilizer list.

You're saying it was an accident?

- Let go! - The strong prey on the weak.

The weak become fertilizer for the strong.

I want you to stand among the strong.

Do you understand?

I don't.

I don't!

Listen to me.

I'm doing this for your own good.

My own good?

For my own good, you sent me to this sick cram school

and made me eat poisonous leaves?

It's for your future.

You'll understand when you're older.

Look at me.

I went from a loser to a top scorer.

I have a beautiful life.

I just want you to be like me.

- Just listen to me. - No.

- Everything will be fine. - I don't want this!

I don't want this!

- I don't want this! - Enough.

Enough.

No!

Stop!

There, there.

(Elite Class)

Let me go!

Put me down!

Put me down!

Listen,

it was this place

that made me

a top scorer and then an outstanding doctor.

You're my daughter.

You can do it too.

I don't want that!

Listen,

after you pass the exam, your mom won't control you anymore.

You'll become as outstanding as me.

I don't want this!

Get in!

I don't want to be like you!

No!

Get in.

No!

Get in!

Open the door!

Let me out!

Where's Jackie?

Didn't you go pick her up?

I sent her to the elite class.

The elite class?

Why so sudden?

Don't worry about that.

Mind your own business.

What are you talking about?

Emily,

there are things I need to make clear to you.

You haven't grown at all in all these years.

So stop pretending to be a good mom.

You're just using our daughter as a tool

to prove your own worth.

But look.

You even failed at that.

I can't let you keep dragging Jackie down.

You think I'm a failure?

What right do you have to say that?

You're the most selfish person!

Think about it.

What have you done for this family?

Nothing!

You always run away from your duties!

Now you want to take my daughter away from me?

No way.

Over my dead body.

I won't give Jackie to you.

Right.

Over your dead body.

Over your dead body!

Otherwise, you'll keep clinging to Jackie forever.

Swallow it.

Swallow it.

Swallow it.

Swallow this

and be fertilizer for the blood-bubble bush.

Sacrifice yourself for your daughter's success.

Haven't you always wanted her to be successful?

This is your best option.

Don't struggle. Just swallow it!

Swallow it!

Swallow it!

Swallow it.

We're here.

This is it.

This is it.

Yes.

Professor Kang is kind.

He knows it's all for the kids.

But the school has its rules,

and some expulsions are necessary.

So he let us come here first.

Wait until next month.

He'll find a chance

to let the kids come back.

Oh, that's great to hear.

We didn't know what to do.

- Yeah. - Thank you, Peter.

No, no, don't thank me.

You know, I was...

I was too sure of myself.

- No. - Right, I didn't think it through.

My bad.

I'm sorry.

Oh, don't say that.

We have to thank you.

Really sorry.

Here.

Hello,

Professor Kang sent me.

Yeah...

Come on in.

Follow him.

Okay.

Thank you.

Watch the steps.

Thank you.

What are you doing?

Stop it!

Don't do that!

Wait!

Don't worry.

I'll take care of our daughter.

And make her

an outstanding doctor like me.

Here.

Come here.

Take her.

Where is she?

She ran away!

Block her downstairs! Hurry!

Ms. He!

It's me.

Ms. He,

where's Jackie?

They took her to the elite class!

I need to find her.

Let's go.

Not that way. This way.

(Elite Class) Eliot worked so hard to get into Smart

Eliot worked so hard to get into Smart

just to get a perfect score.

He'll definitely be the top scorer.

Professor Kang,

I'm really sorry.

I had no idea

those leaves were tainted.

Or I wouldn't have shared them.

I swear!

I never thought

Corbin was plotting this.

Thank you for giving me a chance to make amends

(Eliot Fu) and letting Eliot into the elite class.

(Eliot Fu) and letting Eliot into the elite class.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You're so generous.

I don't know how to repay you.

Thank you.

No need to thank me.

You should thank your son.

Right.

Because I saw his potential to be a top scorer,

I was willing to give you a chance

to make amends.

Yes,

I understand.

I totally understand.

Thank you.

Who the hell...

Corbin,

sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Jared,

it's 4 AM.

What are you doing in the woods?

Come out and go home.

It's dangerous.

Jared!

Jared!

Where are you?

I summon

all the tree spirits here.

You all have to listen to me.

Now find the black-clad boy.

I'm not playing around.

You all have to kneel and listen.

You hear me?

I'm telling you,

you must all go to find that black-clad boy now.

Tell him to give me the fruits.

She's here.

Jackie,

I'm so worried about you.

Come on. We have to get out of here.

Come with me.

To where?

To the next cram school?

No.

It's not like that, Jackie.

I've been ignoring your thoughts and feelings.

It was my fault.

I won't force you ever again.

I'll let you live your own life,

okay?

Do you know how long

I've waited to hear those words?

I've listened to you since I was little.

I've been thinking about

what I can do to make you happy,

to make you satisfied.

But what you did

only pushed me further away.

I won't be a kid forever.

I'm going to live my own life.

But that doesn't mean I don't love you.

Do you know that?

I'm so sorry.

But I truly thought

it was best for you.

You can study entomology.

(Letter of Acceptance, Entomology Dept)

I'll try to understand you

and support you,

okay?

I found the blood-bubble fruits.

I'm gonna burn them all.

Help me evacuate everyone.

Hurry!

- Follow me. - Get out.

- Go! - Hurry, the fire's coming!

- Get out! - Hurry up!

- It's very dangerous here. Go! - Hurry!

Eliot,

let's go now. It's dangerous.

Get up now!

- Get up and go. - What?

Come out now!

- Don't touch me! Don't touch me! - Hurry, Eliot.

Don't touch me!

Go!

Go! Hurry!

Don't touch me.

Go, hurry!

Go, go.

Move!

Hurry!

Kid,

hurry up.

Come on.

Hurry, it's very dangerous here.

Go, hurry!

Let's get out.

Hurry.

Let's go.

- Move faster! - Move!

Come on! Faster!

Jackie,

put this on.

What about you?

You keep the mask.

Just wear it.

I'm fine.

Hurry up!

Come on!

Everyone, go!

Move!

Mom.

Mom.

I fell. It hurts.

Mom.

Jackie.

It hurts.

Mom.

Mom?

Jackie, go.

No, I didn't see my mom.

I need to find her.

Mom!

Jackie?

Jackie?

Mom,

where are you?

Mom,

where are you?

Jackie?

Mom?

Ms. He?

Ms. He?

Mom!

Ms. He!

Mom!

Can you hear me?

Ms. He!

Jackie, wait for me!

Ms. He?

Jackie!

Jackie!

Jackie?

Jackie?

What do you want?

Get out of my way!

Get out of my way!

The fire's coming! We're all gonna die!

Mom!

Can you hear me?

Mom!

Mom,

can you hear me?

Mom!

Everyone here must follow the rules.

- Jackie? - You all have a chance to get into the elite class.

You all have a chance to get into your dream college.

- That's Smart Cram School's value. - No!

Stop talking!

Jackie,

let's go.

No.

I'm staying.

I'll get into med school.

No.

Jackie, I was wrong.

You don't need to change.

You're right.

I'm wrong.

Stay with me.

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

(Operating Room)

Jackie,

why are you here?

What's all this?

What did you do to them?

You shouldn't have seen this.

Why can't you just stay in the elite class?

Let me go!

Come here!

Come here.

I don't want to do this.

But why wouldn't you just listen to me?

(Letter of Acceptance, Medical School)

You're awake.

Don't come closer!

What's wrong?

You were just choking me.

Choking you?

How could I ever do that?

Did you have a nightmare?

Exams must've fried your brain.

How could I hurt a future doctor?

Come out for breakfast. Stop chatting.

Or you'll be late for school.

Come on.

Let's go.

We can talk after breakfast.

She's coming.

She has to go to school later.

It's not good to be late.

Don't worry. Exams are over.

It's just a ceremony.

You're spoiling her.

Jackie,

you're so amazing.

You're going to be a doctor.

Too bad we can't be classmates anymore.

But business school is okay.

I'll work at a bank, make lots of money,

and live a good life with my parents.

Keep in touch.

Give me your number later.

Alright.

Everyone, quiet.

Today is your last day here at Smart.

But learning never ends.

Even after getting into your dream college,

you can't slack off.

Don't forget the wisdom you gained here.

As long as you work hard,

your life

is in your own hands.

I wish you all

a bright future.

Keep working.

Keep working.

Let's dig in.

When you go to college,

you'll face many things.

You need to learn to be independent,

okay?

She's a big girl now.

You can stop worrying so much.

Jackie,

here's the thing,

your mom and I talked a lot.

In the past,

we acted on impulse

and made many immature decisions.

But now, we've decided to start over.

I'll never leave you two again.

Come on.

Try this.

Vegetables are good for you.

Eat more.

Jackie,

the car is here.

Hurry up.

Coming.

Mr. Gao!

Liam.

Huh?

How is Chloe alive again?

She and Jade both died.

And those fruits.

The hallucinogenic fog...

What are you talking about?

They're fine.

Eat this,

and you can have this life.

My name's Chloe Wang.

You?

This is my friend, Jackie.

I never thought I'd make such a good friend here.

Chloe!

Jackie,

you're so amazing.

You're going to be a doctor.

Jackie!

Dad.

Your mom and I talked a lot.

We acted on impulse

and made many immature decisions.

But now, we've decided to start over.

I'll never leave you two again.

Mom!

I've been ignoring your thoughts

and feelings.

It was my fault.

Come with me.

Come on. We have to get out of here.

Put this on.

I'm fine.

Jackie, go.

No, I didn't see my mom.

I need to find her.

Mom!

Can you hear me?

Mom!

Jackie!

I found your mom.

Over here!

Jackie!

Jackie!

Jackie.

(Elite Class)

Mom!

Jackie!

Ms. He.

Mom, wake up! Mom!

Mom, wake up!

Mom!

Wake up! Let's get out of here!

Come on!

Come on!

I'm not leaving.

I'm not leaving.

I want to be number one.

I want to be the top scorer.

I want to be number one.

I want to be the top scorer.

I want to be number one.

I want to be the top scorer.

I want to be number one.

I want to be the top scorer.

After that fire,

Smart Cram School disappeared from the world.

Not many know the whole truth.

There wasn't even any news about that fire.

Maybe people just want to forget about it all.

But this is not over yet.

We don't have much time left.
