00:00Run recalls how Master Amin used to teach him psychology with great care,
00:04only for their lessons to be constantly interrupted by Mr. Bowden,
00:07a chronic alcoholic who mocked Master Amin's methods.
00:11Back in the present, Run tells Master Freephen that the Master Amin he once knew has changed
00:16and that they must stop him.
00:17Meanwhile, White senses someone following her as she walks down the hallway.
00:22It turns out to be Nye, who was worried about her sudden disappearance.
00:25White blushes at his concern.
00:27At the same time, Maki and Tibet are searching for Run
00:30and stumble upon a hidden passage behind a bookshelf in Master Amin's office.
00:35Just as they prepare to explore, Master Amin arrives and angrily confronts them,
00:40demanding to know what they're doing.
00:42Maki and Tibet claim they know Run is being held there.
00:45Hearing their voices, Run senses Maki's presence,
00:48but is unable to act as Master Amin orders them to leave.
00:52The next day, White and the others grow worried about Maki and Tibet.
00:56The two of them are now kneeling under the tree of remorse,
00:59being punished by Master Yanni for entering Master Amin's office without permission.
01:03Meanwhile, Master Freephen tries to convince Master Amin to reconsider Project R,
01:08arguing that the kids aren't ready for it.
01:11However, Master Amin stands firm,
01:13insisting the project must continue for the sake of his revenge.
01:17Later, Master Amin sits with Run in the basement,
01:20revealing that he knows Run wants to stop the project, but he won't allow it.
01:24He then shares the true origin of homeschool,
01:27explaining that it was born out of love.
01:29He takes Run back to the 1980s,
01:31when this place was originally an orphanage owned by Mr. Bowden's father.
01:35At the time, Master Amin worked there as a caretaker,
01:38while Mr. Bowden despised the orphans and treated them poorly.
01:42Two years later, Mr. Bowden became engaged to Finya,
01:45a kind-hearted young woman who loved the orphans and cared for them deeply.
01:50Mr. Bowden assigned Master Amin to look after her.
01:52Secretly, Master Amin had feelings for Finya, but he kept them hidden.
01:57One day, Finya, alone and in tears, confided in Master Amin about Mr. Bowden's abuse.
02:03She revealed that she was pregnant with Mr. Bowden's child and only wanted to experience motherhood.
02:09She begged Master Amin to help her forget the painful memories of Mr. Bowden's cruelty.
02:14Moved by her suffering, Master Amin used his hypnotic skills to ease her pain.
02:18But the abuse didn't stop.
02:20One day, Mr. Bowden pushed Finya down the stairs, causing her to lose the baby.
02:25Witnessing this, Master Amin was filled with rage, but kept his composure and rushed Finya to the hospital.
02:32Some time later, Finya sat on a bench, watching the orphanage children play.
02:37Though heartbroken, she still held on to hope.
02:39She shared her dream with Master Amin she had always wanted to be a mother,
02:43and though that dream had been taken from her, she now wished to create a school that would provide a loving,
02:48home-like environment for abandoned children.
02:51She wanted to call it homeschool.
02:53Master Amin promised to make her dream a reality, bringing her immense joy.
02:57Sadly, not long after, Finya's health deteriorated, and she passed away.
03:02Devastated and fueled by a desire for revenge, Master Amin became determined to fulfill Finya's wish.
03:08He approached Mr. Bowden with a plan to transform the orphanage into homeschool,
03:13where he would teach advanced psychology to the children.
03:16At first, Mr. Bowden resisted, claiming there was no profit in it.
03:20Knowing Mr. Bowden's greed, Master Amin proposed a separate school for wealthy families
03:25who wanted to abandon their children, promising it could generate millions in profit.
03:30Mr. Bowden immediately agreed.
03:32Over time, however, Mr. Bowden's greed grew.
03:35He demanded not just 13, but over 100 children to maximize profits.
03:41Master Amin warned that bringing in too many children would mean they wouldn't receive proper care,
03:45leading to a heated argument between them.
03:48The stress of their conflict began to take a toll on Master Amin's health,
03:51and he developed a terminal illness.
03:53As he faced his impending death, Master Amin turned to Master Prasad and Master Few,
03:59asking them to hypnotize him so he could erase the illness from his mind.
04:02Master Few and Master Yanni urged him to seek medical treatment, but Master Amin refused.
04:08He insisted that he could not abandon his students and had to fulfill his promise to Finya.
04:13Eventually, Master Prasad agreed and hypnotized Master Amin, making him forget about his illness.
04:19Years later, Master Amin, accompanied by Master Prasad, went to see Mr. Bowden.
04:24Looking him in the eye, he declared that he was finally going to get his revenge for everything he had done.
04:30He then pulled out a gun, while Master Prasad forced Mr. Bowden to take hypnotic pills pushing him to commit the unthinkable.
04:37Run tells Master Amin that he had warned him against seeking revenge, as revenge turns a person into a monster.
04:43Master Amin responds that Mr. Bowden got exactly what he deserved.
04:47Run insists that he is no longer the same Master Amin he once knew.
04:50Later, Master Amin asks Master Prasad if the project they are about to start is morally right.
04:57Master Prasad gives him a suspicious look and tells him it's time for his hypnosis treatment, making it clear that something suspicious is happening.
05:05Meanwhile, Tibet and Mackie regain consciousness in the school infirmary after passing out from their punishment.
05:11They ask Master Freefin what's going on, and she explains that the school is launching something called Project R to learn more.
05:17She directs them to a book on the shelf titled Winnie the Pooh, which contains a recorded video.
05:23Tibet is shocked and asks if this was all part of a bigger plan.
05:27Master Freefin confirms that Master Amin has carefully orchestrated everything at homeschool.
05:32They watch the six-year-old video, which shows Run and Master Few in a treatment room.
05:37In the footage, Master Few gives Run a special hypnotic pill.
05:41When Run asks why he is receiving the pill and what Project R is about, Master Few explains that the Project is meant to help people with painful memories, but warns that it could be dangerous if misused.
05:52The video suddenly cuts off.
05:54Mackie and the others try to figure out what are in Project R stands for.
05:58Nye suggests it could mean recovery, while Penwing jokingly recalls a song that starts with R.
06:03However, Tibet concludes that R stands for revenge and believes Master Amin is seeking vengeance.
06:08The group starts to agree when Master Prasad enters, clapping and congratulating them for solving the puzzle.
06:15Determined to stop his plan, they stand up and declare that they won't let him succeed.
06:20Master Prasad laughs and tells them they should get some rest.
06:24Later, Master Prasad meets with Run, who proposes a bet.
06:28If Run wins their coin toss game, he gets to ask one question.
06:31If Master Prasad wins, Run will have to do whatever he says.
06:35Master Prasad agrees, but after flipping the coin, he loses.
06:39When Run asks about his plans for Project R, Master Prasad refuses to answer, saying that revealing his intentions would spoil the fun.
06:47The next day, Master Amin's condition worsens, and he collapses.
06:52Master Freephen and Master Phobin find him and rush to help.
06:56Meanwhile, Master Prasad keeps a close watch on the students through CCTV.
07:00Later, Master Freephen warns Run that Master Prasad plans to take him to the treatment room that night.
07:07She has come up with a plan to stop him and gives Run a pen that he can use to hypnotize Prasad if necessary.
07:13That night, Run is blindfolded and escorted to the treatment room by Master Phobin and Master Champ.
07:19Using the pen from Master Freephen, he hypnotizes the masters and manages to escape.
07:23Meanwhile, Master Freephen is on her way to help Run when Mackie and White stop her,
07:29telling her that Mack and Mock have accidentally ingested a large number of hypnotic pills and are unconscious in the kitchen.
07:35She is forced to delay her plans and rushes to help them.
07:38Accidentally dropping her knife in the process, Mackie picks it up.
07:42Elsewhere, Run hurries to Master Amin's office and is shocked to find him hypnotized with Master Prasad standing beside him.
07:49It becomes clear that Master Prasad is the true mastermind behind everything Master Amin has done.
07:56Master Prasad reveals that he was responsible for Mr. Bowden's death and for keeping Run locked in the basement for six years.
08:03He admits that all the cruel actions at the school were his design, driven by his belief that revenge is the ultimate solution.
08:10Enraged, Run points the pen at Master Prasad's neck.
08:14However, Master Prasad just laughs and dares him to go through with it.
08:18At that moment, Run remembers what Master Amin once told him that revenge turns you into the very monster you seek to defeat.
08:26Choosing not to kill Master Prasad, Run instead punches him in the face.
08:30Meanwhile, Master Yanny, Master Deluxe, and Master Freefin devise a plan to stop Master Prasad and put an end to his horrific project.
08:39Mackie returns the knife that Master Freefin dropped earlier and asks if everything is okay.
08:44She reassures him that she can handle the situation.
08:47Master Freefin heads into the woods, where Master Champ and Master Phobin inform her that Run has escaped from the treatment room.
08:54Outside, Mackie and the others spot Run, and Mackie rushes to hug him.
08:59After six long years, the siblings are finally reunited in a heartwarming moment.
09:04Run checks on Mackie and reveals the truth to everyone about Master Prasad,
09:08exposing that he is behind all the illegal activities and is using the students as part of his revenge plan against their families.
09:15The shocking revelation leaves everyone stunned.
09:19Suddenly, Master Prasad appears with a gun, threatening them.
09:23He flips a coin to decide their fate whether they will get a chance to escape or be killed on the spot.
09:28The coin lands in their favor, granting them ten seconds to run.
09:32As they attempt to escape, Master Champ and Master Phobin block their path.
09:37Nye steps up to confront Master Champ, but is quickly overpowered.
09:41Just then, Master Freefin arrives, holding a knife to Master Phobin's neck, demanding that the students be allowed to leave.
09:48In response, Master Prasad fires a warning shot and threatens everyone.
09:52He then captures Master Freefin, holding a gun to her head, and allows the students to escape.
09:58Master Freefin is taken hostage, and the students are left to find their way out on their own.
10:03The next day, Master Prasad devises a cruel game.
10:07He enters the boys' room and announces that he needs a volunteer.
10:11Run immediately steps forward to protect the younger students, but Master Prasad refuses, saying it wouldn't be fun.
10:17Instead, he chooses Penwang.
10:20Penwang breaks down in tears while the other boys try to intervene, but Master Prasad threatens them with his gun.
10:25He then orders Master Phobin to bring a random girl, and Flang volunteers to protect White and Mackie.
10:32Master Prasad then reveals to Viles one containing poison, and the other an antidote.
10:37He flips a coin to decide who will get the poison.
10:39Penwang, determined to protect Flang, volunteers to take it himself.
10:44Later, Master Prasad gathers the students and announces that both Penwang and Master Freefin have been poisoned.
10:50He places for Viles on the table, claiming that only to contain the antidote, while the others are just saline solution.
10:57Run grabs two Viles and rushes to save Master Freefin, while Mackie and the others take the remaining Viles to Penwang.
11:04Penwang and Flang are tied together, and Penwang's condition is worsening rapidly.
11:09Flang tries to comfort him by bringing up his favorite croissant, but he loses consciousness.
11:13Mackie and the others arrive, and inject him with one of the Viles, unsure if it's the antidote, or just saline.
11:20Miraculously, it turns out to be the antidote, and Penwang starts to recover.
11:25Meanwhile, Run reaches Master Freefin, and injects her, but her Vile turns out to be saline, instead of the antidote.
11:31As she begins to succumb to the poison, she urges Run to protect all the homeschool kids.
11:37Run is devastated, and the moment is heartbreaking.
11:39Master Prasat arrives, laughing, and accuses Run of being responsible for Master Freefin's death.
11:46He hands Run a pistol, taunting him to take revenge.
11:49Run struggles, realizing that killing Prasat would only make him lose everything including the students,
11:55which is exactly what Prasat wants, turning one of them into a murderer.
11:59Meanwhile, the students reveal to Master Phoban that Master Prasat, not Master Amin,
12:04is behind project or this revelation fills Master Phoban with regret over his past actions.
12:10Master Prasat returns to the school, mockingly pretending to cry over Master Freefin's death,
12:15which ignites the students' anger and grief.
12:18Nye punches Master Prasat, but Run stops him, saying that fighting back with violence will only play into Prasat's hands.
12:25He urges everyone to go back to their rooms.
12:27Master Prasat then questions Master Champ and Master Phoban about their loyalty,
12:31and how they feel about Master Freefin's death.
12:35Master Champ signs with Prasat, saying Freefin deserved it,
12:38but Master Phoban hesitates, revealing his true feelings.
12:42Meanwhile, Run and Mackie reminisce about their childhood,
12:45and Mackie tearfully vows that they will never be separated again.
12:48Master Yanny and Master Deluxe grieve the loss of Master Freefin,
12:52with Master Yanny promising to bring those responsible to justice.
12:56Suddenly, Master Prasat arrives, taking Master Deluxe hostage and threatening Master Yanny.
13:01He demands that she cooperate with Project R, or he will kill all the students.
13:06Elsewhere, Hugo, Jingjai, and Biu have been brainwashed by Master Prasat, and are behaving strangely.
13:13When Flang tries to talk to Biu, she responds in a robotic tone.
13:17Master Yanny warns Flang to stay away from them.
13:20Master Prasat then reveals to Mackie and the others that the sounds they heard in the forest were actually Run's screams.
13:26He plays a recording of how he tortured Run, including pulling out his fingernails.
13:31Furious, Mackie attempts to attack Prasat, but Run stops her, urging her to stay patient.
13:37Meanwhile, Master Phoban is leading Nye and Tibet to the treatment room for Project R,
13:42but he suddenly stops and tells them he has a plan.
13:45That night, Mackie and Penwang, feeling hungry, head to the kitchen to grab some croissants.
13:50To their shock, they find Jingjai standing there with a knife, speaking in a robotic tone, and accusing them of breaking the rules.
13:57They try to hide, but Jingjai follows them.
14:00When she catches Penwang, and is about to stab him, Mackie steps in to stop her, but she grabs him by the throat.
14:07Just in time, Master Yanny arrives and saves Mackie.
14:10The next day, Master Yanny gathers the students and reveals that Master Prasat is planning to brainwash them into killing their parents.
14:18She warns that he has threatened to kill them if she doesn't comply.
14:22She stresses the importance of staying united to find a way to stop him.
14:26Meanwhile, Master Prasat has taken the students' parents hostage, tying them to chairs.
14:31The parents are confused about how they ended up there.
14:34Prasat taunts them, claiming that their children are planning to kill them.
14:38The parents refuse to believe him, insisting that their kids love them and would never harm them.
14:43But then, Prasat plays a series of videos where the students complain about their parents.
14:49He tells them he has played these videos on repeat to fuel their children's resentment.
14:53Elsewhere, the students gather on the training grounds, where Master Champ orders them to pick a weapon one they will use to kill their parents.
15:01Each student selects their preferred weapon.
15:03Master Prasat then announces that he will release the parents one by one, based on their wealth.
15:09This leads the parents to argue over who is the richest.
15:12The students quickly realize that Master Prasat has only captured the wealthiest parents and conclude that he is seeking revenge against the rich.
15:20Master Yanni arrives and informs the students that the projector has begun.
15:24He asks Run to come with him, but the students insist on helping stop the massacre.
15:29At first, Master Yanni hesitates, but after Run's persistence, he agrees, warning them to be careful and to hide if things become too dangerous.
15:37The group then rushes to stop their brainwashed classmates, while Master Yanni and Run head off to rescue Master Amin.
15:45Meanwhile, the brainwashed students spot their parents and begin hunting them down.
15:49The terrified parents run, desperately apologizing for abandoning them, but their children blinded by hatred refuse to listen.
15:57Bai and Zhang, wielding axes, chase after their father.
16:01Jinjai, gripping a samurai sword, runs after her mother.
16:04Hugo, armed with a gun, goes after his father.
16:08The other students try to intervene, but struggle to stop them.
16:11On another side, Bai also picks up a sword and charges toward his politician father.
16:16However, Bai is not actually under Master Prasat's brainwashing master.
16:21Phobin had saved him before he could be taken to the treatment room.
16:24Bai is only pretending to attack his father.
16:27Fearing for his life, threatens to shut down the school.
16:30But Nye tells him that, despite his father never showing him love.
16:34Homeschool did.
16:35He explains that Homeschool gave him love and friends, and he refuses to let his father's political power destroy it.
16:42Nye urges them all to work together to stop Master Prasat and restore Homeschool's reputation.
16:48Deeply ashamed, Nye's father apologizes for his mistakes.
16:52Master Phobin then gives him a hypnotic cupcake to erase his memory of the day's events.
16:56Meanwhile, Run and Master Yeni try to break Master Amin free from Master Prasat's mind control.
17:02Run pours his heart out, saying that he was an orphan all his life.
17:06But Master Amin took him in like his own child.
17:09He tells him that Master Amin is his real father, and begs him to return and help defeat Master Prasat.
17:15At first, Master Amin remains unresponsive, still in a trance.
17:20Disappointed, Run and Master Yeni begin to walk away.
17:23But suddenly, Master Amin wakes up, tears streaming down his face.
17:28He grabs Run's hand and promises that he will never leave him alone again.
17:32Elsewhere, Tibet manages to grab Master Prasat's gun.
17:36Master Prasat taunts him, provoking him to shoot.
17:39He then reveals the truth about Tibet's father, Master Phobin.
17:43He explains that Master Phobin loved him dearly, and once told him that he no longer wanted to work on Project R.
17:49He had decided to leave and spend time with his children instead.
17:52This, however, ruined Master Prasat's plans.
17:56Prasat had argued that, without Project R, abandoned children would never be able to take revenge on their parents.
18:03Master Phobin had tried to reason with him, saying that revenge was pointless.
18:08He had told Prasat that even though he knew his father had done terrible things, it didn't mean he should resort to murder.
18:14But in response, Master Prasat had strangled Master Phobin with a rope, killing him.
18:19Hearing this, Tibet is consumed by rage and points the gun at Master Prasat, struggling to control his emotions.
18:27Master Prasat smirks and reminds Tibet of his sick mother, saying that the grief of Master Phobin's death had made her ill.
18:33He laughs wickedly, boasting that he killed both of Tibet's parents with a single arrow.
18:38This drives Tibet into a fury, and he nearly pulls the trigger, but Master Amin stops him just in time.
18:44He urges Tibet to control his anger, warning that if he gives in, Master Prasat will have one.
18:50Tibet struggles to calm himself.
18:52Still laughing, Master Prasat then reveals that he has also set a trap for Maki and the other students.
18:58Run immediately rushes off to save them, Master Amin then boldly declares that no child from homeschool will kill anyone.
19:05Master Prasat scoffs, calling it impossible, insisting that they will inevitably turn on each other.
19:11But Master Amin's words prove true the parents, realizing they were moments from being killed, beg for forgiveness with all their hearts.
19:18They admit that they spent their lives obsessed with money, forgetting about their own children.
19:22Seeing their parents' tears, the brainwashed students finally snap out of their trance and forgive them.
19:28Meanwhile, Master Champ tracks down Maki and the other students and shoots them.
19:33Maki is critically wounded.
19:35Master Phobin rushes in like a hero and orders the others to run.
19:39They move a short distance, but Maki's condition worsens.
19:43With her last bit of strength, she calls out for Run, saying she wants to see him before she dies.
19:48Nye fights Master Champ to distract him, but Master Champ overpowers him.
19:53At that moment, Run arrives and is devastated to see Maki in such a state.
19:58He pleads with her to hang on, but she loses consciousness.
20:02Enraged, Run charges at Master Champ, using his hypnosis to force him to beat himself mercilessly.
20:08Master Champ is nearly beaten to death when Master Deluxe steps in.
20:12Stopping Run, he warns that if Run kills him, Master Prasat will win.
20:16Run, tears in his eyes, forces himself to stop.
20:19Later, it is revealed that Maki is still alive and is being taken to the hospital.
20:24All the parents are given hypnotic cupcakes to erase their memories of the incident.
20:29Finally, Master Prasat is arrested by the police.
20:33Smirking wickedly, he tells Master Amin that while he may have stopped him,
20:37others like him will rise again to continue the projector's work.
20:40Master Amin remains unfazed, stating that homeschool's future is now in safe hands.
20:45Later, Master Amin takes Run to the dark basement where he had been imprisoned for six years.
20:51Master Amin apologizes, but Run tells him there's no need Master Prasat had been controlling him all along.
20:57A month later, Maki returns to homeschool from the hospital.
21:01Tibet, overjoyed, tells her how much he missed her.
21:05They share a heartfelt and romantic moment.
21:07When Run arrives, Maki, still weak but happy, runs to hug him.
21:12Nye and White's friendship grows stronger, with Nye confessing his feelings.
21:17White responds with a kiss, and everything finally feels normal again.
21:21As the sun sets, Master Amin gazes over homeschool, reflecting on Finya's dream, knowing he has fulfilled it.
21:28Days pass, and Master Amin's health deteriorates.
21:31He writes his will, leaving all his property and authority to Run.
21:35Accepting his final moments, he retreats to the basement.
21:38When Master Yanni and Run bring him food, they find that he has passed away.
21:43Run weeps bitterly, and Master Yanni, holding back tears, finds the letter containing his will.
21:48Master Amin is buried with full honors, and Run becomes the new principal of homeschool.
21:53The students continue their lives at homeschool with love and care, celebrating together, and hosting a party in Master Amin's memory.
22:00As the season ends, a new student Gen Z, a former classmate of Run arrives at the school, laughing eerily, just like Master Prossat, hinting at what's to come.
22:10Now we will wait for Season 2.
22:12Till then see another cool videos, and subscribe to Cine recaps.
22:15We will meet in the next one.
22:17Goodbye.
