Jentry Chau vs. the Underworld (2024) s01e11 Episode Script

1
[eerie music playing]
[Mogui] Flora doesn't know
how to find her.
But I do.
Fine. Tell me where my mom is
and I'll let you live.
[Mogui groaning]
[suspenseful music building]
- [gasps]
- [Mogui groans]
[Ox Head] You should have been
more careful, mortal.
You guys again.
I know this looks bad,
but I closed the portal.
This wasn't me.
[Ox Head] We know it wasn't you.
[Horse Face] It was the Mogui.
They'll pay for desecrating the boundaries
between your world and ours. [grunts]
[Mogui screams]
Wait, not yet. No!
[grunts]
[theme music playing]
[phone line dialing]
[Jentry snoring]
[dialing continues]
[tender music playing]
- [line clicks]
- [woman speaks indistinctly]
[Ed] Oh, uh, hi!
I'd like to report a missing person.
[woman speaking indistinctly]
[Ed] Black hair, Chinese, two eyes,
pretty sure she has legs.
[woman speaking indistinctly]
[Ed] Her name? Uh, Moonie Chau.
Oh, but she doesn't know her name.
Her memories got stolen.
- [woman speaks indistinctly]
- [Ed] Yes, stolen!
But it's cool, we found them.
[eerie music playing]
[Gugu] Three cracks in this one,
four in that one.
So she's in the north. Or is it the south?
Ah! Stupid oracle bones!
"Better things to do"?
You're a small-town policewoman!
This could be your Fargo.
Hello? Hello?
Jentry, don't be lazy!
You said you want me
to practice portal opening, right?
[sips then spits]
[poignant music playing]
- [Jentry] Mm.
- [Gugu sighs]
We'll find her, darling.
You looked for her before, right?
What makes this time any different?
Why are we checking records
and phone books
when we can find out where she is today?
Jentry, no. We talked about this.
[sighs]
Well, I've been talking to Ed about Diyu.
The Mogui is most likely being held
in the lower chambers.
- [gasps] Are you trying to get her killed?
- [Ed] Mm.
It came up organically.
[ominous music playing]
This is the linglong baota, right?
We can use it to smuggle the Mogui out.
The thread will help us find our way back.
You wanna break the Mogui out?
It deserves to be tortured
after what it took from us!
This is the only way
to get back what it took from us!
Jentry, it's Diyu.
It's a living torture chamber,
impossible to escape from!
But if you come with us
Darling, please, trust me!
Why? Why should I?
[sighs]
I know. I know it's my fault.
You said I cared more about protecting
your powers than I did about you.
- Gugu, I didn't
- You were right.
And your parents would still be here
if it weren't for me.
I assumed I was strong enough
to protect them, and I wasn't!
And your grandmother, she [whimpers]
[poignant music playing]
I didn't even know she was a ghost
till you found her.
Maybe she blamed me, didn't wanna see me.
Now she's fading,
and I might never know the answer.
I will never make that mistake again.
But if you go down there,
I can't keep you safe.
Please, let me put you first this time.
[Jentry sighs]
You said Jentry was back today!
The banner is
a vital part of the presentation!
Hello, students! Come on in!
[ominous music playing]
[laughs nervously]
Uh, Mr. Wheeler? What is all this?
Oh no. Your memories
are already being repressed by the trauma.
Michael, demons invaded our town.
Mm-hm. Yeah. No, I remember that.
But, uh, this kinda seems like overkill.
[clears throat] Speaking of demons,
everyone's kinda unsettled
by what happened.
And we thought
the school could use a pep boost.
So we wanna run a fundraiser-social combo.
Raise money and have fun.
Specifically, a lock-in!
No, too risky.
My panic room has a max capacity of 12.
I don't want to have
to choose 11 favorite kids from my top 20.
Come on. The chances of there being
another demon invasion are
Are at least as high
as they were before the first one.
I'm sorry, Stella, but I can't just
[screams]
It's happening! Again!
[whimpers] Oh.
Sorry I'm late.
I knocked on the door a few times,
but I guess it's soundproof. Weird.
Have we started? Oh! Okay! [clears throat]
And I've designed the banners.
Jentry! What are I thought you left.
You haven't been at school.
Sorry, Mr. Wheeler.
I had family stuff to take care of, but
No, no, a few weeks off is the least
you deserve for saving our lives.
Oh. [laughs nervously] Uh
Uh, that That's fine.
So if you'll be there,
you can be security.
[gasps] Demon patrol? Hm?
[inhales] Keep us all safe.
Oh. No. I'm just designing
the banners and posters.
I was hoping I could just have fun at the
Thank you, thank you!
- [Jentry chuckles]
- [squeals] I gotta get organizing.
Jentry!
- Did you talk to Gugu?
- Yeah. She said no.
Again.
- [tender music playing]
- Hm?
Jentry, I know you have to do this,
but please don't go by yourself.
Oh, I won't. Ed's coming with me.
What if I came too?
Michael, no.
- [music fades]
- [gasps]
I'm working on controlling my visions.
I could help you see bad guys coming.
Plus, I've been taking boxing lessons.
Boxing lessons? It's Diyu.
Okay, sure,
but seeing the future would help, right?
Anticipate danger?
[poignant pop music playing]
Besides, you're a total badass now.
I mean, you always were,
but especially now.
Even in the literal underworld,
I'd be safe with you.
I can't let you go.
[Michael sighs]
- [school bell ringing]
- [Jentry] Huh?
I feel the air on me
And your gaze ♪
[Michael sighs]
Upon my body ♪
You look at me as if we are not ♪
I'm breaking a Mogui out of Diyu.
Even if I make it out,
the whole underworld might come after me.
So you'll need help.
I can't assume I'm strong enough,
and if I get in trouble,
you'll try and save me.
Of course.
[gasps]
But if you try and save me,
you'll get killed.
Like Gugu did.
Like Kit did.
I can't just be okay
with you risking your life.
Michael I can't let you get hurt.
I'm sorry.
[sighs]
[Jentry sobbing]
I I know I did the right thing,
but I don't know, was it?
[sighs]
It's for the best.
We don't have to do this today.
[sniffles] No, we do.
I can't wait any longer.
Okay. Let's go save my mom.
[mysterious music playing]
- [Gugu] Remember this, Iris?
- [Jentry gasps]
NeZha's armillary sash.
That British colonel stole it,
so we took it back.
Hong Kong, 1988. You and me, remember?
[sighs]
I wish Jentry had known you, Mei Mei.
She's just like we were.
A real Chau.
So determined.
Moonie?
Jentry, no!
[tense music playing]
Okay. Now we can't get lost.
[dramatic music playing]
[Jentry] Wow.
This is, uh, more formal than I thought.
Diyu's like a courthouse,
a really messed-up courthouse.
[creatures snarling]
[creature growls]
[gasps]
[man] Whoa!
[whimpering]
[Ed gasps]
That way is for souls only.
I think I know a better way in. Come on.
[ominous music playing]
[whimpers]
Hm?
Diyu's playing tricks.
[growls]
[footsteps echoing]
Should be around here someplace.
- Ah!
- [ominous music playing]
[both gasp]
Oh, no.
Well, if the Mogui wants outta here,
it can tell us how to escape.
[Jentry grunts]
Ew!
- [mechanism creaking]
- [Ed gasps]
[Ed] Diyu's like a giant torture chamber
with a lot of little torture chambers
inside it.
Like a Russian doll.
If every doll was alive and magical
and hated you.
[tense music playing]
[Jentry] Hm?
[gasping]
- [grunts]
- [gasps]
- [screams]
- [creature snarling]
Ed? My dad is down here.
- [gasps then grunts]
- [mechanism thuds]
[eerie music plays]
[both yell]
- [squelching]
- [Jentry yells]
[both yelling]
- [elevator crashes]
- [bell dings]
[yells]
[groans] Okay. You weren't kidding.
This place is seriously messed
Ed?
[ominous music playing]
[squelches]
This isn't real. This isn't real. [yells]
[gasps]
Hey.
What are you doing here?
Listen.
We need to talk. About earlier.
Michael, you need to get out of here.
No! I know you think I can't help you,
but if you just let me
- [thudding]
- [Jentry gasps]
[thudding continues]
[creature growling]
[eerie music playing]
- Jentry!
- [gasps]
You got me killed.
[gasps]
It's not real. You can't be real.
Why? Because I don't have a soul?
[Michael grunts]
- [Michael yells]
- [Jentry] No! Get off of him!
[Michael screams]
[Michael grunting]
[screaming]
[gasps]
You let us die for you.
I I didn't. I I'm sorry, I
Please don't make me do this.
[screams]
- [gasps]
- Jentry, don't kill me!
[exhales]
Why were you running away from me?
You know I have tiny legs.
I saw Diyu was, uh
Oh. Diyu tried to torture me too.
I was in a room full of jiangshis,
and none of them knew who I was!
[Ed yelps]
[eerie music playing]
[gasps]
[Gugu] Peng?
When you die,
you can choose to pass through Diyu
or you can become a ghost instead.
But ghosts don't get reborn.
Wait!
They fade away until they're nothing.
Empty. Just fog.
Jentry?
No, no, no!
Jentry! No!
[gasping]
[gasps]

- What?
Uh, hi! I'm looking for a Mogui.

[Mogui screaming]
[Mogui gasping]
[Mogui groaning]
Tell me where Moonie Chau is now
or I'm leaving you in here.
[groans]
I was attacked by a ghost.
She said something about a Mogui?
[Ox Head and Horse Face growl]
[Ox Head] Get backup!
[groans then grunts]
[dramatic music playing]

- [Mogui grunts]
[Mogui groaning]
[Horse Face] You have made
a grave mistake trespassing in our domain.
I just need information from the Mogui,
then I'll go.
[Horse Face]
You will not be leaving this place.
[Ed gasps]
We'll see about that.
[both grunt]
- [yells]
- [gasps]
[Horse Face] We're too deep for your
portals to overrule the magic of Diyu.
[dramatic music playing]
- [Mogui] Jentry.
- [Jentry gasps]
[Mogui] I know how to escape.

We made a good team in there.
[Jentry gasps]
[groans then screams]
[roars]
[Gugu] Jentry.
The longer that thing shares your body,
the more of your qi it will consume.
You're making it stronger
the more you use it.
- [Gugu gasps]
- [demons snarling and growling]
Then let's get out of here.

So maniacal ♪
[Jentry grunting]
[Mogui] Our powers are limitless
in the right hands.
Even without you,
I opened a portal to the Great Beyond.
- [Jentry grunts]
- [screams]
[Mogui] Your powers and mine combined?
You could be a god.
[Jentry] I don't want to be a god!
[Jentry grunts]
[Mogui] A god can bring your family back.
[Jentry gasps]
Mom?
[intense music playing]
[both gasp]
[Mogui] You know why
Flora wanted these powers for herself?
Same reason she lied to you.
She wants to control you.
Control of you
means control of the powers.
But I want you to choose your path. You!
- Not that cruel, manipulative old woman.
