180
00:10:16,741 --> 00:10:19,243
The name's Madison.
Happy Birthday.
181
00:10:19,243 --> 00:10:21,996
How did you know
it was my birthday?
182
00:10:24,749 --> 00:10:26,167
Miss Henley?
183
00:10:28,419 --> 00:10:29,712
Ooh. [thuds]
184
00:10:31,547 --> 00:10:33,215
I'm okay.
185
00:10:33,215 --> 00:10:34,383
New shoes.
186
00:10:37,637 --> 00:10:40,222
This isn't over.
187
00:10:45,144 --> 00:10:46,896
[Chase] Now, Miss Henley.
188
00:10:52,818 --> 00:10:53,861
[exhales sharply]
189
00:10:55,696 --> 00:10:57,114
Carmie.
190
00:10:57,114 --> 00:10:59,742
I didn't do anything, okay?
They were the ones who act--
191
00:10:59,742 --> 00:11:01,619
Mmm.
192
00:11:01,619 --> 00:11:04,664
{\an8}They say you pushed Leanna
off the stage.
193
00:11:04,664 --> 00:11:06,123
{\an8}[Carmie] Can we just call it
194
00:11:06,123 --> 00:11:08,959
{\an8}circumstances
outside of my control?
195
00:11:08,959 --> 00:11:11,379
{\an8}I'm sure they were.
196
00:11:11,379 --> 00:11:13,422
{\an8}Regardless,
I need to put on a musical.
197
00:11:13,422 --> 00:11:15,508
{\an8}[Carmie] Musical.
198
00:11:15,508 --> 00:11:17,760
Yeah, yeah. Let's get into it.
199
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,887
Do some, what do they called?
Rehearsals.
200
00:11:19,887 --> 00:11:22,181
Bring in the audience
and I'll own it.
201
00:11:22,181 --> 00:11:25,267
Whatever "it" is. What is "it"?
[chuckles]
202
00:11:25,267 --> 00:11:27,645
You and Leanna
clearly don't get along,
203
00:11:27,645 --> 00:11:30,606
and that is a problem
that I don't want to deal with.
204
00:11:30,606 --> 00:11:33,192
Well, we're on the same page,
and I
205
00:11:33,192 --> 00:11:37,154
Especially because she is
a trained singer and dancer.
206
00:11:37,154 --> 00:11:40,116
And you, while enthusiastic,
are not trained.
207
00:11:40,116 --> 00:11:41,492
Oh, I'm trained. Yeah.
208
00:11:41,492 --> 00:11:43,494
Tap, jazz, hip-hop.
209
00:11:43,494 --> 00:11:46,038
I've been studying YouTube.
Yeah, for months.
210
00:11:46,038 --> 00:11:47,248
I've got this.
211
00:11:47,248 --> 00:11:49,959
Say nothing! Say nothing.
212
00:11:49,959 --> 00:11:54,171
I'm sure you think so,
but I have a decision to make.
213
00:11:54,171 --> 00:11:57,591
Don't worry.
We'll be fine without Leanna.
214
00:11:57,591 --> 00:12:00,511
Not the decision I was thinking.
215
00:12:00,511 --> 00:12:02,388
I'll let you know if you're
going to be a part
216
00:12:02,388 --> 00:12:03,639
of the musical or not.
217
00:12:03,639 --> 00:12:05,933
- Oh, but I can--
- Great. We're done.
218
00:12:10,312 --> 00:12:12,440
- What?
- [Kev] You didn't say anything?
219
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,775
How could I? She was telling me
I might've blown my chance
220
00:12:14,775 --> 00:12:15,860
to be in the musical.
221
00:12:15,860 --> 00:12:17,570
That's not your biggest problem.
222
00:12:17,570 --> 00:12:21,323
Really? Because I want
No. I need to be in it.
223
00:12:21,323 --> 00:12:23,576
What's wrong with one of us,
the outsiders,
224
00:12:23,576 --> 00:12:27,037
slightly uncool kids,
not really talented, succeeding?
225
00:12:27,037 --> 00:12:30,124
Stop. Listen. I remember where
I heard the word "Vampling".
226
00:12:30,124 --> 00:12:32,334
- So, it's a thing? Vampling?
- Yes.
227
00:12:32,334 --> 00:12:35,004
People just don't kick
trash cans across the street.
228
00:12:35,004 --> 00:12:36,338
Adrenalin?
229
00:12:36,338 --> 00:12:38,924
Doesn't explain you
blasting Leanna off the stage,
230
00:12:38,924 --> 00:12:42,136
- you floating, or
- Hormones?
231
00:12:42,136 --> 00:12:44,597
What? I'm 13. May be possible.
232
00:12:44,597 --> 00:12:46,348
Not possible.
233
00:12:46,348 --> 00:12:50,436
Something in you has changed
and given you these powers.
234
00:12:50,436 --> 00:12:51,770
Like Zendaya?
235
00:12:51,770 --> 00:12:53,772
She doesn't have superpowers.
236
00:12:53,772 --> 00:12:55,983
Really?
Because if you know, you know.
237
00:12:55,983 --> 00:12:57,776
If you don't, you never will.
238
00:13:02,364 --> 00:13:03,782
[Kev] I'm hitting the stacks.
239
00:13:03,782 --> 00:13:06,702
Excellent. Who's your friend?
240
00:13:06,702 --> 00:13:10,789
It's Carmie. You've met her,
like, a hundred times.
241
00:13:10,789 --> 00:13:13,042
But always ignores me.
242
00:13:13,042 --> 00:13:15,544
Maybe, maybe not.
243
00:13:15,544 --> 00:13:17,546
Don't touch the sleeved books.
Only Kev.
244
00:13:17,546 --> 00:13:20,049
He respects the art and he
knows how to deal with tape.
245
00:13:25,846 --> 00:13:27,806
You! Kid!
246
00:13:29,433 --> 00:13:33,354
[alarm blares]
247
00:13:37,107 --> 00:13:40,319
Nice try, but back, back, back.
248
00:13:40,319 --> 00:13:42,571
Back, back. Stop.
249
00:13:42,571 --> 00:13:45,157
Forward. Back Back.
250
00:13:45,157 --> 00:13:46,742
Does this always happen?
251
00:13:46,742 --> 00:13:47,993
- Yeah.
- Okay.
252
00:13:49,453 --> 00:13:50,538
Yes. Good.
253
00:13:50,538 --> 00:13:52,957
Good. The comic returned.
That's good.
254
00:13:52,957 --> 00:13:54,291
You? Still not good.
255
00:13:55,793 --> 00:13:58,504
You're banned for life.
256
00:13:58,504 --> 00:13:59,630
[gasps]
257
00:13:59,630 --> 00:14:01,257
Now, be gone!
258
00:14:01,257 --> 00:14:03,551
- [Carmie] I found it.
- Put those down there.
259
00:14:03,551 --> 00:14:05,761
You know these are just comics, right?
260
00:14:05,761 --> 00:14:07,638
That's what
they want you to think.
261
00:14:09,056 --> 00:14:10,224
Who's "they"?
262
00:14:10,224 --> 00:14:12,184
There's always
a "they" running things.
263
00:14:12,184 --> 00:14:13,477
They have used comic books
264
00:14:13,477 --> 00:14:15,729
to send secret messages
for a century.
265
00:14:15,729 --> 00:14:18,148
- To who?
- To them.
266
00:14:19,567 --> 00:14:21,569
I'm not even going to ask
who "them" are.
267
00:14:21,569 --> 00:14:24,572
- Buck Rogers, 1929.
- Okay.
268
00:14:24,572 --> 00:14:28,534
Why was it that
the first rocket-ship design
269
00:14:28,534 --> 00:14:30,703
- ever came from a comic book?
- I have it.
270
00:14:30,703 --> 00:14:34,164
So they could get the plans
across the country
271
00:14:34,164 --> 00:14:35,457
without anyone knowing.
272
00:14:35,457 --> 00:14:37,126
Do you know about that?
[laughs]
273
00:14:37,126 --> 00:14:40,004
Of course you don't. Nobody does
who doesn't read comics.
274
00:14:40,004 --> 00:14:41,380
Ah. Here we go.
275
00:14:43,549 --> 00:14:44,800
What's a Mythic?
276
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,137
They're legendary monsters
who came before man.
277
00:14:48,137 --> 00:14:49,346
So, I'm a monster?
278
00:14:49,346 --> 00:14:53,058
No. But you could be
a Blended,
279
00:14:53,058 --> 00:14:55,978
the offspring of a Mythic
and a human.
280
00:14:55,978 --> 00:14:58,105
Grab me the magnifying glass.
281
00:15:02,151 --> 00:15:04,278
Uh, super speed. Nice.
282
00:15:04,278 --> 00:15:07,865
I am going to dance circles
around Leanna.
283
00:15:07,865 --> 00:15:11,243
This is the best day of my life!
[squeals]
284
00:15:11,243 --> 00:15:12,453
Carm?
285
00:15:18,667 --> 00:15:20,419
Vampling?
286
00:15:20,419 --> 00:15:21,879
"Vampling:
287
00:15:21,879 --> 00:15:25,049
"the Blended offspring
of a vampire,
288
00:15:25,049 --> 00:15:27,927
and their powers are
super speed," check,
289
00:15:27,927 --> 00:15:29,970
"enhanced strength," check.
290
00:15:29,970 --> 00:15:31,221
"energy blast "
291
00:15:31,221 --> 00:15:33,265
- [chuckles] The best. Check.
- Yep.
292
00:15:33,265 --> 00:15:34,683
-"Fly."
- Fly?
293
00:15:34,683 --> 00:15:37,394
Really? [gasps, thuds]
294
00:15:37,394 --> 00:15:38,479
Ow.
295
00:15:38,479 --> 00:15:40,940
Scratch flying.
We'll put "float."
296
00:15:40,940 --> 00:15:44,234
I can't be a Vampling.
My parents are normal, kinda.
297
00:15:44,234 --> 00:15:47,988
Your bio parents?
What do we even know about them?
298
00:15:47,988 --> 00:15:50,157
My parents adopted me when I was
three months old.
299
00:15:50,157 --> 00:15:51,408
I have no idea.
300
00:15:51,408 --> 00:15:53,911
So, one of your birth parents
could've been a vampire.
301
00:15:53,911 --> 00:15:55,496
That's impossible.
302
00:15:55,496 --> 00:15:58,540
I'd say it's pretty undeniable.
303
00:15:58,540 --> 00:16:01,543
"A Vampling receives their
powers on their 13th year."
304
00:16:01,543 --> 00:16:03,796
Happy Birthday, by the way.
305
00:16:05,506 --> 00:16:06,882
[sighs] I mean,
306
00:16:06,882 --> 00:16:09,385
I guess I always thought
I was a little different,
307
00:16:09,385 --> 00:16:11,261
but never thought I was a freak.
308
00:16:11,261 --> 00:16:12,429
[phone chimes]
309
00:16:14,431 --> 00:16:15,933
It's my dad. I gotta go.
310
00:16:19,103 --> 00:16:21,021
Carmie?
311
00:16:21,021 --> 00:16:23,816
You're not a freak.
You're my best friend.
312
00:16:31,407 --> 00:16:32,950
- [door closes]
- [chuckles]
313
00:16:40,958 --> 00:16:43,544
[comic store owner]
So, you just moved to town?
314
00:16:43,544 --> 00:16:45,587
You always ask
so many questions?
315
00:16:45,587 --> 00:16:47,172
- I just asked one.
- That's a lot.
316
00:16:47,172 --> 00:16:49,550
Okay.
Show me what you think you have.
317
00:16:49,550 --> 00:16:50,634
Maybe.
318
00:16:50,634 --> 00:16:52,636
Is communicating
a difficult thing for you?
319
00:16:52,636 --> 00:16:54,138
Is that another question?
320
00:16:54,138 --> 00:16:58,350
Yes. No. Maybe. I
That wasn't a question.
321
00:16:58,350 --> 00:17:00,602
[clears throat]
I heard you are
322
00:17:00,602 --> 00:17:02,396
the best at what I do.
323
00:17:03,814 --> 00:17:06,817
Hey, kiddo.
You got to answer your texts.
324
00:17:06,817 --> 00:17:09,236
I know. Sorry.
I'm just distracted.
325
00:17:09,236 --> 00:17:11,321
Ah. Well, you want me
to pick you up?
326
00:17:11,321 --> 00:17:13,282
I mean,
your birthday tacos are here,
327
00:17:13,282 --> 00:17:14,783
and they are a-taco-ing.
328
00:17:14,783 --> 00:17:17,661
No. I'm good. See you soon.
329
00:17:22,624 --> 00:17:27,046
[eerie voice whispering]
330
00:17:32,134 --> 00:17:34,970
[voice] Vampling. Vampling!
331
00:17:36,346 --> 00:17:38,849
Nature-versus-nurture girl.
What up?
332
00:17:38,849 --> 00:17:41,602
Sorry. I didn't see you.
I thought someone or something
333
00:17:41,602 --> 00:17:44,229
was following me, but maybe not.
I don't even know.
334
00:17:44,229 --> 00:17:46,440
Sometimes I think people are
following me when they're not,
335
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,108
and then, sometimes, people are
following me
336
00:17:48,108 --> 00:17:49,651
when I think they're not.
So, I don't know.
337
00:17:49,651 --> 00:17:51,820
- You always talk this fast?
- Yes, I do.
338
00:17:51,820 --> 00:17:53,989
Because life goes fast and you
have no idea
339
00:17:53,989 --> 00:17:56,033
what's going to happen next,
even if "next" is what you want,
340
00:17:56,033 --> 00:17:57,367
which in my life
has never been the case
341
00:17:57,367 --> 00:17:59,369
The name's Madison. Remember?
342
00:17:59,369 --> 00:18:03,707
Sorry. Carmie.
Nice to officially meet you.
343
00:18:03,707 --> 00:18:06,710
My mom and I just moved here.
It's her restaurant back there.
344
00:18:06,710 --> 00:18:09,379
Oh. That must be nice.
You can eat whatever you want.
345
00:18:09,379 --> 00:18:13,217
- No. It doesn't work like that.
- Oh.
346
00:18:13,217 --> 00:18:16,136
Those girls you drenched
at school were pretty upset.
347
00:18:16,136 --> 00:18:18,555
They had a lot to say about you.
348
00:18:18,555 --> 00:18:20,599
It's a long story.
349
00:18:20,599 --> 00:18:23,560
Well,
curious minds want to know.
350
00:18:25,354 --> 00:18:27,606
Have you ever wanted to be
someone special,
351
00:18:27,606 --> 00:18:30,275
not just an outsider looking in?
352
00:18:30,275 --> 00:18:32,986
Well, today,
I had my chance to be special,
353
00:18:32,986 --> 00:18:34,863
and I blew it.
354
00:18:34,863 --> 00:18:37,032
Well,
there's always second chances.

Besides, being an outsider
kind of makes you cooler.

Impossible.

You get it.

But what if you turned out
to be someone

you never thought you were?
364
00:18:56,510 --> 00:19:00,139
That would be so dope.
I hope I have that problem.
365
00:19:02,141 --> 00:19:04,226
Wait.
What were we talking about?

Listen.
We can't change who we are,

isn't possible.
