Maika: The Girl From Another Galaxy (2022) Movie Script

1
A long, long time ago,
there was no moon in the night sky.
In fact, there was no such thing as night,
just long days in the hot, hot sun.
All of the rivers and streams were dry.
All of the crops had died.
Everyone on Earth was starving to death.
All hope seemed lost
In that moment,
one mother decided to find the Sun God
and asked him to turn off the sun
to save her children.
In return, she would give up her own life
and become the cool, cool moon.
Although Hang has told many
bedtime stories to Hung, her little star,
the mooncake story was still her favorite.
She wanted Hung to get used
to spending more time with his father
because she knew the day would come
when she would have
to leave her little star.
EMERGENCY
Honey.
Poor Hung.
His mother was his whole world.
ONE YEAR LATER
What is the condition up there?
Hold on!
It's too risky, Hung!
Comet can do it!
Let's mess with those HI-SO guys!
Hung! Take your plane
and play somewhere else,
or else I'll break it!
Up and away!
So cool!
Oppa CuBeo style!
CuBeo is always messing things up!
Who is he?
A rich brat that lives
in that fancy Hi-So Tower 1.
Hung! You're on my turf!
Why won't he leave me alone?
I think he wants to play with Comet.
He'll have to catch me first!
Faster, Comet.
Hey, you! Are you running away?
Watch out, Hung!
The blades on his drone are sharp!
One bump and they'll cut Comet's wings!
Don't go in the factory, Hung!
You'll lose signal!
Hang on, Comet. Don't lose signal.
Game over!
Turn!
Ah, haha! Going out to sea?
Pull up, Comet! Pull up!
Hurry, Hung!
- Hung!
- Comet!
You challenge me?
Pull up! Pull up!
Come on, Hung!
Yeah!
You're still playing?
Watch out. CuBeo is right on your tail!
The planes are behind the building!
I can't see Comet anywhere.
Then come down here to see!
METEORITE SHOP
Thanh, have you thought
about converting this shop
to one that fixes phones and computers?
I'm not that skilled.
I just fix phones
for friends and neighbors.
- All done.
- Thank you!
I'm not going to charge you. It's free.
No, you always say it's free.
How can you make a living?
I told you it's free.
Well, I'll buy this meteorite pendant.
Ah, haha! You can't beat me.
Get off my tail!
How is it going?
I have to get him off my tail!
Oh! I've got it!
For anyone who doesn't move out,
we'll throw buckets of fermented shrimp
to stink them out!
What kind of stink do you want?
Shrimp, squid, fish...
Ouch!
I was wrong!
Just keep following me
Where are you going?
You're gonna hit the wall!
There's a window!
Watch out for the window!
Darn it!
That was awesome!
Eucalyptus oils,
essential oil, castor oil
Hey, cutie!
Can you hear me, cutie?
Yo, cutie!
Hey, don't be rude! We just want to talk!
Don't go down the stairs!
It's too cramped!
Honey! Honey!
Why are you walking so fast?
Just sign the deal,
and you'll get a hundred grand!
Too cramped! It's too cramped!
How else can we get out?
Use the money for a fancy dinner.
- So that you...
- That's enough!
Comet!
Hurry! We have to save Comet!
High-tech!
Hey!
What do you want?
Dad!
Don't come up. I'm okay, son.
Black Pepper! Stop bullying your friends!
Hey, it's not black anymore.
His name is Bull now
because he's a mad dog.
You crazy old lady!
Why do you even bother arguing
with a senile woman?
She can't even remember her own name.
She may not remember,
but as for you two fools, Bull and Ngao,
I will never forget.
Now are you going to let go of Thanh,
or do I have to call the police?
You call the cops,
and I'll break you like this!
Comet!
Comet!
Comet
And you
Just sign this.
You can buy your son hundreds of planes.
Tell Chinh that
not everyone can be bought.
You sure about that?
My!
Go wash up for dinner, honey.
My!
Yes
Sign it.
Can My come help me fix Comet?
No, son. My is busy tonight.
It's okay, Dad. Let me talk with Hung.
I didn't have a chance to tell you,
but my family is moving to Saigon.
When?
Can you wait for me, Dad?
SPACE CLUB - ZERO GRAVITY ZONE
Can you keep Hoa for me?
Even though they are always fighting,
if I take Hoa away,
he will miss Dragon to death.
Even fishes need friends.
MOVING TRUCK RENTAL
NOTICE OF DELINQUENT PAYMENT.
Can I skip dinner tonight, Dad?
What's wrong, son? Are you feeling sick?
If I don't eat, then we can save money.
What are you saying?
We owe a lot of money, right, Dad?
It's all my fault,
because I don't want to move.
It's not your fault, son.
Don't ever think that.
I am the one who doesn't want to move.
This is our home.
All of the memories
we have of Mom are here.
I will never move.
It's not your fault.
Don't ever think that.
METEOR SHOWER
There's a meteor shower this Saturday.
Tomorrow, I will fix Comet.
Then this weekend,
we can go to Hoa Trung Lake.
We can fly the plane, go fishing,
then we'll make a camp and look
at the stars. Would you like that?
- Put the plane on the table.
- Yes!
Hung!
That's Mom's table.
Bin!
Why are you out here?
They're making a mess!
Who cares? Go back to your room!
- But it's a mess!
- Inside!
I'm telling Dad on you!
I'll throw this at you!
Hurry!
Hurry, or I'll throw this!
- Huh?
- Go back to your room!
Hey, pretty, young thang!
Listen up, young lady.
- Where are you going in such a rush?
- You should sign and sell your home!
Go home, all of you!
Making a ruckus. Pick that up!
Get your things and go!
Beo? You told on me?
And you Clean up that mess!
METEOR SHOWER
Want some tomatoes, Bull?
- Listen, young lady!
- How about some potatoes?
Why suffer at this old home?
Sell your home!
Sell your home, and buy
some ginseng to keep your skin young.
You wanna play? You wanna mess with me?
SMART PHONE AND COMPUTER REPAIRS
24 HOUR SERVICE
To fasten your safety belt
- Drink this, honey.
- Yes, Mom.
Maika now go southwest.
Our destination is Bratislava.
Whenever you need me,
just look up to the sky.
Shower!
Help me, Mom. Please help me.
Run, honey!
Come here, Hieu. The mountain is glowing!
What? It's pitch black.
Really? I just saw it!
Girl, you're crazy!
Oh God! My brand new drone!
You broke another one!
That's what you get for scaring me.
Why are you here anyway?
Are you following me?
Who has the time to follow you?
I came here to watch the meteor shower.
To watch the meteor shower?
Liar!
Watch the shower with a drone?
You're supposed to use a telescope!
My God I'm so glad I found you.
I'm a tutor! I don't have time
to drive you out to meet your friend.
Who's his friend?
Do you want a lift home?
Of course you do.
Only a crazy person
would ride their bike up here.
Hey, I noticed that your bike is rigged
with an electric motor! That's cool!
Can you make me one too?
Why are you still standing there?
Let's go!
Hurry!
Hurry up!
Come on. Let's go.
Do you even know which way to go?
I sure don't.
Remember to make me a bike like yours!
But make it in red.
I'm crazy about red.
Where did you go without telling me?
Do you know how worried I was?
You promised to watch the meteor shower,
but you broke your promise!
You always do that!
Hung!
- Do you believe me now?
- That's a nice trick.
Those who stayed up
to watch the meteor shower
got rewarded with a bonus view.
The blackout throughout the city
made the all the stars more visible!
In other news,
billionaire Nguyen Dai Nghia has revealed
his plans to build a launchpad in Da Nang!
Is that all?
What about purple lights in the mountain?
Why are you so loud, son?
Forty years ago,
one man made our entire nation proud.
He was not only the first Vietnamese
but also the first Asian to walk in space!
By now, you already know
to whom I'm referring.
That is Mr. Tuan Pham.
Today, I will be the first Vietnamese
to join the space race!
In the year 2024,
we will not only set foot in space,
but we will also make our mark
on the history of space travel!
Allow me to introduce
Cygnus!
Ho Hoa Trung will soon become
our nation's first
space shuttle launch base
where passengers can board our spaceship
and take off into space!
Travel from the nearest space station
to the furthest reaches of the universe
and make space our home.
Amazing.
But it's too bad about the lake.
We won't be able to fish there anymore.
I have waited
for this moment my entire life.
Boss
Did you really pay
20 million dollars to buy this mountain?
There's nothing around here
but rocks they call meteorites.
In this whole area,
any rock that you pick up is a meteorite.
Hey,
do you want to see
something really weird just up this hill?
Sorry.
Are you hurt, sweetie?
Uh, no. No.
Where are you going?
Uh Picnic with my dad.
You're having a picnic with this?
Uh, yes. My dad makes it really good!
He also makes rice noodles,
crab noodles, and beef pho!
Thank you, miss.
So long, miss.
Bye-bye!
So weak.
Exhausted?
Look.
There.
You see the tops of trees
that have been chopped across?
Something cut the trees
and carved a path down into the lake!
There, take a careful look. You see, sir?
It wasn't here yesterday!
It just appeared!
I told you it's strange!
Right?
Are you still using that old flip phone?
So embarrassing, right?
No I meant that
flip phones have advantages too.
Like when I get mad,
I can throw it at the wall!
The battery comes flying out,
but I put it back and
It still works.
If people don't break their phones,
then I'd be out of work.
How's it going
with the phones I brought you?
They're done.
Where are you?
Aren't you hungry?
Come out already!
Here.
How was your picnic with Hung today?
When?
This morning,
he seemed like he was in a rush.
Maybe I misheard.
Did Hung say where he was going?
Have you tried calling him?
Yesterday
I yelled at him
for taking off without permission.
These days, I can't tell
what's on his mind.
I've noticed
that the kids in the children's ward
rarely let adults know
what they really want.
This is for the phones.
Thank you.
WHERE ARE YOU?
Dad?
Can I skip lunch, Dad?
What's that?
I MADE YOU NOODLES.
Again?
Comet!
Hey! You're naked!
How can you go outside without clothes?
Here, wear this.
Do you know how to get dressed?
Now I can see your face.
Why weren't you wearing any clothes?
Joyeh to hale zazemi?
Huh?
Muvlish chezki?
I don't understand what you are saying.
Can you speak Vietnamese?
Viet na mese.
Viet nam ski.
That's right. You're in Vietnam.
What is your name?
Ah, you're from Hanoi!
I thought you were an alien!
My name is Hung. What is yours?
Maika.
Maika?
Like the alien girl from the TV show?
No, from the planet Maika.
Are you here to spy on us or to kill us?
No, I'm here to find my comrade.
Comrade?
Your friend?
What's your friend's name?
We don't have names on Maika.
No names? Then how do you call each other?
We don't talk on Maika.
If you don't talk,
then how do you communicate?
Your ship is damaged.
How will you get home?
No, I need to reach my friend first,
then I can call the mothership.
Call Ah!
Tell me the number, and I'll call.
I need to fix my transmitter
in order to call my friend.
Oh, is that all?
My dad can fix any phone.
Samsung, Nokia, even Oppo!
I'll ask my dad to help
since we are friends.
We are friends?
That's right. We're friends.
But I don't know what to call you.
How about Maika?
High five!
On Planet Maika, you don't know high five?
Here's how you high five.
High five!
Whenever we do something cool,
we high five.
High five!
Now that you know, can you do this trick?
You can't do that one.
How about this trick?
Can you do that?
You can do it!
Okay, that one is good,
but for this one, you'll need to focus.
I dare you to try that.
Yes! I will do it.
It stinks!
High five!
Truth!
Duty! Honesty!
A samurai warrior,
once he accepts a task,
then he must complete that task!
Then why are all of those people
still living in my building?
Hi-So gave me six months.
Now I only have one week.
If it's not done by then,
they will buy the adjacent lot.
Find out what is important to them,
and break them into pieces for me!
Go!
Dad?
Dad?
What were you looking at?
Do you like meteorite stones?
A meteorite is not a stone.
It has healing powers.
Really?
My mom also said that
a meteorite has the power to heal.
But my dad doesn't believe it.
Do you like it?
I'll give you one, since you like it.
Let's go inside.
Hey, don't touch that!
Don't touch anything on this table,
or my dad will get angry.
Why does he have to get angry?
I don't know, but he's definitely mad
because I was supposed to be home by now.
Don't touch anything else.
Oh, no, I touched it!
I'll go eat dinner
and come right back, okay?
No, I need a transmitter
to call my comrade.
Hold on! Hold on!
It's not safe out there.
What if you accidentally change into an
alien and someone reports you to the cops?
Cops?
I told you, my dad can fix anything.
He can even fix your ship
and find your comrade.
He can't fix the spaceship.
Then he can fix the transmitter.
Just stay still here.
Don't go anywhere until I come back, okay?
Don't move!
Don't follow me!
Stay still!
Beef noodles!
Dad! Do you know
what happened to me today?
Oh. Why is Ms. Trang in our home?
What's wrong, son?
Can I skip dinner tonight?
If you don't eat, then you'll have
to tell me where you went today
and why you lied to me and Ms. Trang.
Where were you?
What does he have to lock up so securely?
Bull, the kid is inside!
Maybe he's so scared he pissed his pants.
I'll go in to change his diaper.
Teach him a lesson, Bull.
I made a new friend today.
You met a new friend? Where does he live?
My new friend is a girl.
You met a girlfriend?
- What's her name?
- How old is she?
- Where does she live?
- Is she pretty?
- Can we meet her?
- No!
My friend is not a normal girl.
How is that?
Hung
Come out, so we can talk man-to-man.
I just want to be sure
that you're not going to tell anyone
about what you saw.
A flashlight?
You plan to fight me with flashlights?
Remember
This is your idea.
Get him, Bull!
Who are you?
Maika.
Your friend's name is Maika.
Just like in the TV show
that you and I like to watch?
So Maika's ship fell to Earth,
got damaged,
and now she's looking for her friend.
Lucky she found you, right?
I'll telling the truth!
Stop joking around!
Maika's ship fell during
the meteor shower! It's totally wrecked!
I already promised her that you
would fix her ship, so you have to fix it!
Meteor shower
a broken ship
You made up this story
because I broke my promise to you, right?
How can a hulk like you let
a little punk kick your ass?
No. That's no kid!
It's a demon. A demon!
Wake up! What demon? Get back in there!
No. It will kill us! Let's go.
- Let's go!
- Are you scared?
Let me go break his neck!
- Let go!
- Let's go!
- Let's go home!
- Let me at him!
- Let's go home!
- You!
- Go home!
- You dare beat up my brother?
It will kill us both!
Are you lying?
Why won't anyone believe me?
We do.
Your dad believes you.
Of course Maika is real.
But you know what?
Sometimes when we don't feel well,
we can get depressed
so our emotions can get confused.
Do you think that your friend
would ever want to harm you?
Harm me?
What I meant is,
does Maika want to hurt you?
Maika saved me. I almost drowned.
You went swimming alone?
Why are you here?
Why are you always around my dad?
Hung! Don't be rude.
Apologize to Ms. Trang.
- Why should I?
- Because you were rude!
- She's started it!
- Don't talk back!
Go outside and fold your arms!
Don't come back in
until you're ready to apologize!
If Mom were here,
she'd have come after me already.
Why don't you pick
on someone your own size?
Shut up!
Why do you have to be such a punk?
- Why can't you play somewhere else?
- Why do you care where I play?
- Because that clubhouse belongs to Hung!
- Who is Hung?
You can't say anything you want
just because you're sick!
Bin!
- Don't talk to your brother like that!
- But he messed with my friends!
Friends?
Why do you think they play with you?
It's cause you buy toys
for them to play with!
At least I have friends.
Leave.
You better not come to my clubhouse again!
What? Scare me?
You think you can scare me?
You! You two are scary!
- Are you hurt?
- No.
But he's always picking on me!
I know.
I am a tutor, not a bodyguard,
always having to protect you!
But he took over my friend's place!
Your dad will deal with him tonight.
Dad said he won't be back
for another week!
Right.
- Next week?
- Yes.
Keep your cool. Keep your cool.
Don't get mad. Don't get mad.
I want some too.
Don't get mad. Don't get mad.
It's ruined.
Maika
Maika!
Maika.
Maika, are you hurt?
What happened here?
Were you scared, Maika?
No.
They've ruined Mom's worktable.
Mom really loved this table.
"Loved this table"?
That's right. Just like Aunt Thu loves
her garden and Uncle Van loves his oven.
Uncle Van loves an oven?
I wish there was a way for me to explain.
Hey, that's Mom!
You have to raise this up. That's right.
Then you lower this.
Mom also really loves this song.
Wake up, son.
Happy birthday, son!
Happy birthday!
Wow!
- Wow!
- Open it, son.
Wow!
- Do you like it?
- Yes!
Take a long bit,
wrap it around twice.
There.
What's wrong, Mom?
It's nothing.
It's too painful.
I don't want to continue the treatment.
Mom
Mom
Hung
Come sit by me.
Why does your hair always smell so good?
My mom asked
Why does my hair always smell so good?
Don't. That's a teardrop.
It tastes salty.
So does a booger, but I wouldn't eat it.
Are you still sad?
Want me to fix that?
You're fixing it!
- Can you fix Dad's store too?
- Mm-hmm.
Maika! Maika!
Maika!
My dad bought me those pajamas,
but they are too big.
Are you done, Maika?
Fits perfectly!
Maika, Maika
It's too dirty to lay here.
Let me lay a mat down first.
Maika.
Maika
Sorry, Maika.
For leaving you alone.
Just rest here
until you have found your friend.
I promise you,
no one will hurt you again.
Load that carefully.
- Handle it gently!
- Nghia, sir.
I found this plane in the lake
next to that spacecraft.
Look into that logo.
Yes, sir.
Did you have a chance
to speak with Hung last night?
He was asleep when I got back.
- What's wrong?
- The shop feels different.
You recently tidied up the shop?
No.
This fountain is new!
It's always been there.
You didn't notice because it was broken.
So you just fixed it?
No
What are you looking at?
Hung's alien friend?
What are you looking at?
Hung's alien friend?
Get the car.
Maika.
Maika.
Maika!
Maika!
Haha The cake is lumpy!
Wow
You also cleaned up your shop!
Um What do you mean by "also"?
Because you also cleaned up my oven.
Uh, when did I clean your oven?
Can you show me?
Hit it hard!
Hard! Once more.
One more. One more!
There. Isn't that pretty?
This one's yours.
My daughter used to help me
make cakes just like this.
Hung!
Come in!
This little angel is helping me
make cakes!
But what is your name, angel?
Maika.
Mai
Mai is part of my daughter's name.
Maika, let's go home, so auntie can work.
It's okay, Hung.
Mai is helping me make cakes.
But last night,
I saw you wearing a raincoat.
Now you're wearing pajamas.
Don't you have any prettier clothes?
- You really saw Maika?
- I sure did!
Mai made a bright light that
helped the flowers bloom!
Come! Come with me,
and let's find you a nice dress!
So?
Are you sure you're not
the one who did this?
- No.
- No?
Come on.
I know all about it.
His store was supposed to be trashed.
The garden was supposed to be destroyed.
The stove smashed to bits! Just look!
I told you idiots to destroy it
not to redecorate it!
It's not that, Boss.
It's that monster.
It restored everything back to normal!
If you had looked into its red eyes!
It's like looking right at Death itself!
Then you die!
Kichigai!
If he's crazy, then you get crazier!
If he strikes a match,
then you light a torch!
Then you run into his house,
and turn his house to ashes!
Only then will he fear you! Understand?
I'm giving you the next three days.
Drag them out
of the building by their necks!
If you let Hi-So decide not
to buy my building
and buy the lot next to the harbor,
then I will let Tiger eat you alive.
Tiger. Bite!
Woah, Tiger, Tiger! Easy there, Tiger!
Come on, Tiger.
Don't bite me, Tiger!
Ah! Tiger!
Beautiful.
But you need this lantern made
by Uncle Van to complete the outfit.
- Anyone here?
- Yes. Please wait a moment.
You're Mr. Dai Nghia, the CEO of Cygnus.
I saw your press conference on TV.
What brings you to my shop?
I'm talent scouting for my launch base.
Don't you already have
a team full of scientists?
I'm looking for people
who think outside the box.
Like that fountain of yours.
Did you make that yourself?
I just made that for fun.
That is no common hobby.
What did you do
before you opened this shop?
A scientist?
I graduated as an engineer.
My thesis was on sound levitation.
What luck! When I saw Uncle Van walk in,
I almost peed my pants!
Any more cakes?
Huh? You finished the cakes already?
Meteorites, the healing stones.
Did you know
that meteorites come from outer space?
Yes.
Meteorites can also be used
to contact aliens.
Actually, my wife knows more
about these stones than me.
You don't believe?
If it helps heal the one wearing
the stone, then what does it matter?
True.
But a scientist without faith
will not get very far.
It's okay.
- You need your strength!
- Mr. Van!
Maybe your hair will be all purple again.
My gosh, you fixed so many things
last night that you even passed out!
No cakes?
These are debt bills, not cakes.
Debt?
That's right. And if we don't pay,
then they will kick us out of our homes.
No more homes?
- Maika fix!
- Not everything can be fixed.
Right now, you have
to regain your strength.
But I am strong. Watch!
What's wrong?
- Do you need some water?
- You live here?
I live with my son, Hung.
Hung.
What's he like?
Um He's brave and smart.
He just doesn't talk much.
That's enough, Maika.
I believe you're strong. Maika!
Your boy sounds very interesting.
I'd like to meet him someday.
Really? He'd be thrilled to hear that.
He idolizes astronaut Tuan Pham.
He's upstairs!
Can you wait while I call him?
Dad?
- Hi, son. There's...
- Hi, Dad. Sorry I'm busy. Can't talk. Bye!
Kids. They spend all day
playing with their phones.
That's enough, Maika!
Why don't you and your son
come visit my company?
Whenever you like, just call my assistant.
She'll prepare the best meal for you.
Don't lose faith. The power
of ideas can still change the world!
You see? I told you I'm strong.
Does your son own
a blue and white toy plane?
Yes. How did you know?
I recognized the logo on it
from your shop sign.
My workers found it by the lake.
I'll have it fixed
and returned in a few days.
Consider it my gift to you.
If you can do all this,
then why can't you fix your own ship?
Materials from planet Maika
can't be replicated.
Can you turn
your hair back to purple again?
No, my skin and hair
are linked to my energy.
- What does that mean?
- It's like a battery.
I have to recharge in the mothership.
That's why we need
to build the transmitter.
Let me help.
We'll help each other!
We'll pass out the flyers
to the rice shop, the noodle shop
and the cafe.
Hurry, Maika!
We'll lose customers if we're late.
We need to pass out flyers to help Dad!
Your screen looks cracked.
Get the date right!
Eat! What are you looking at?
I'm very upset!
Hello? Did he hang up?
Did your phone break, sir?
You're damn right it's broken!
It's fixable.
You there!
Yes, I'm here.
- What do you think, Hung?
- Ooh!
It's gorgeous!
THIEN THACH REPAIR SHOP
These meteorite stones
are the batteries
that will power the transmitter.
But these look too small.
Might not be enough power.
Let's try!
The small stones are too weak.
We need bigger pieces like this one!
Can we use this?
You need bigger stones? Wait here a bit.
It works fine now.
Thank you. Good day, sir.
Let Mr. Nghia know
that I'm here if he needs anything.
Don't worry. I'll let him know.
Thank you, sir.
Nguyen Dai Nghia?
Hi, Meteorite Shop here.
- It's Nghia.
- Oh, Mr. Nghia.
Thank you so much
for fixing my son's plane.
Let me know if you need me to do anything.
Then what would you say
if I asked you to work for my company?
I still don't understand
why you'd need me when you have
so many talented scientists.
Because sound levitation is the core
of my space flight technology.
My instincts also tell me that my plans
for Cygnus won't succeed without you.
I know that this is
a great opportunity for me,
but it doesn't really help me or my son.
I know that this is
a great opportunity for me.
I also offer all of my talented scientists
a beautiful ocean-view home.
You will also be making enough money
to send him to an international school.
Hurry. Hurry.
Isn't that better?
It's true that a home with an ocean view
and to be able to send my son to
an international school would be a dream.
Thank you for giving me
a dream opportunity.
Oh no!
You don't need to thank me...
Give me a few days to think about it,
and I'll call you back.
You don't need to think it over...
These are the biggest stones at the shop!
Will they work?
Now we just need a satellite dish
and a super high place to transmit from!
I have a satellite dish
but it's at my space clubhouse.
What's wrong with the space clubhouse?
Tell your monkey friends
- to put me down!
- You heard him, monkeys. Let him go!
Bin! Don't let me go!
If I fall and die,
I'll go home and tell Dad!
Hey! Bring him down!
- He's really sick. Stop playing!
- Hey, and what about my face?
Put him down!
Who the hell are you, punk?
Take your girlfriend and scram!
Girlfriend? Hung,
I thought we were friends.
I'm not dead yet,
and you already got a girlfriend?
And a pretty one too!
Shut up, Beo. I'm trying to help you!
Enough talk. Drop him!
Hey! Hey!
Put my friend down!
What if I don't? I told you to scram...
Save me!
I'm gonna die!
Oh God, I'm gonna die!
I'm gonna die!
Oh God, the inhaler is empty! Oh God!
Beo! Stop screaming. You're fine.
Will you marry me?
Beo, don't harass Maika.
Maika!
What a beautiful name!
Beo!
Help me with this satellite dish!
What do you want with it?
I don't have time to chit-chat with you.
Now that those punks know
that Maika is an alien,
Maika is no longer safe here.
I need to grab the transmitter from home
and find a way to get Maika
up to Ba Na Hills!
That's easy. We'll take my car.
We?
Who said you're invited?
You can't take Maika
to the most romantic spot,
especially over in Da Nang, without me.
Got that?
Besides, you still need my car!
- You have a car?
- Yes!
I have a driver
who will do anything I ask.
Go home and get the transmitter.
He and I will be waiting!
- Are you sure?
- Sure!
Hey! Are you nuts? That's gasoline!
I know it's gasoline.
I was checking to see if it burns.
What if they sold us fake gasoline?
Fake gas?
I'm a tutor, not a driver.
- It's real!
- Maika, wait up!
Your hat and jacket!
The purple demon!
- What?
- There! She's with Hung!
Where are they going?
Hurry down and help me catch them!
Oh, Mr. Dong
Isn't Beo coming with us, too?
His dad is coming home tonight.
I can't let him go play with you.
Hurry up, Ngao! Hurry!
- My pants are on fire!
- Let's go already!
This is the highest spot in Ba Na Hills.
We'll pretend to be tourists
and hide here until the park closes.
Oh no!
I forgot about the money for the tickets.
What are we gonna do?
Don't worry. Kids get a 50% discount.
Fine. I'll lend you some money.
I'm a driver, not a bank.
Oh! I mean, I'm a tutor!
You kids got me all confused!
Hey, girl! I'll take two tickets.
For you two, that will be 1.5 million VND.
- Two tickets are 1.5...
- I don't have that kind of cash!
Can we get the kid's discount?
Hey, what's up?
What's up? I'm trying to buy the tickets.
I understand your dilemma.
On the one hand, you want to please Hung.
On the other hand, more money
means a better future for him.
But what if he misunderstands
and thinks I'm doing it for the money?
Then don't think about the money.
If you just consider Hung's happiness,
then what would you see?
I don't know.
Try to close your eyes.
What do you see?
Hung is running by the lake.
The two of us are camping.
We lay on the grass, looking at the stars.
Hung is at this park
with the purple-haired girl.
I want you to keep watch at the Tower.
In position.
- The Glass House.
- I'm in position.
- And the Station.
- I'm in position.
Report if you see anything strange.
Are you hungry, Maika?
No problem. We have food.
Would you like to hear the mooncake story?
Long ago, there was no moon, only the sun.
All of the rivers had dried up.
The land was dry, and crops were dead.
Everyone was thirsty and hungry.
WELCOME HOME, DAD!
Your dad is sorry.
One mother decided to save her children
by making a plea to the Sun God.
Hung!
Hung!
She crossed
streams and rivers, hills and mountains,
and swam across the sea
until she was so tired that she fainted.
Then a white rabbit walked by
and asked, "Oh, what happened here?"
She told him the whole story,
then he took her to meet the Sun God.
The Sun God said,
"What are you doing here?"
She replied,
"Can you please turn off
the sun for a little while?"
The Sun God replied,
"No. If I turn off the sunlight,"
then the demons will come out
and harm the humans.
"I would need someone
to keep the light on at night."
She said, "I can do it. I can do it."
The Sun God replied,
"You cannot, because if you do,"
you won't be able to see your family
"because you would have to do
this every night."
She said, "I can do it.
I can do it. I will do it."
So then the Sun God agreed
and allowed her to see
her family one last time.
Why does your hair always smell so good?
Finally, the mother turned
into a beam of light
and shined down a light for all humankind
and it reached down upon the home
where her children slept.
Please don't leave me.
I can't raise him alone.
You can.
Just be there for him.
Since then,
every year, people make mooncakes
to honor her memory.
Would you like me to erase
the sad memories?
What for?
To erase my memories?
- Mm-hmm.
- I can't.
But they are making you sad.
I'm sad because I miss her.
If I forget my mother,
then how can I miss her?
Have some more, Maika.
Secure the Tower!
Use the electric pulse gun.
Do not harm the girl!
Do you copy?
Are you okay, Maika?
I'm okay.
Were you able to call?
No.
Was the stone too weak?
Maika!
You're getting weak. Please stop!
Maika!
- Maika!
- Don't!
I can sense my friend.
Maika!
Snap out of it, Maika!
Maika! Maika!
Maika, the bad men are here!
Maika, we need to go!
Monster!
- Maika!
- Hung! Up!
Down! You'll fall!
They can fly!
Let's go, Maika.
Looks like we got away, Maika.
But I found my friend.
That's not true.
Hang on, Maika!
Hold on, Maika!
Maika! It's the bad man! Maika!
The bad man! Wake up, Maika!
Maika, help!
Maika
Maika, we dropped the backpack!
Maika
Is that Hoa Trung Lake?
Maika
Maika!
Maika!
Cover your eyes, Maika!
Thanh, his finger just moved.
Hung. Dad's here, son.
Where am I?
You're at the hospital.
Hospital?
Are you feeling pain anywhere?
Why are there so many balloons?
- Your friend Bao sent them.
- Bao?
Who is Bao?
He's the chubby one.
Chubby?
Beo.
- Maika!
- Son!
Where is Maika? Let me go!
- Maika isn't real.
- Let me go!
- Aliens are not real, son.
- She is real! She was taken by Nghia!
When I found you at the lake,
you were by yourself, Hung!
- You were alone.
- I don't believe you!
You're lying!
If Mom was here, she'd believe me!
- Son
- I hate you!
- I'll go get the doctor.
- I believe you, son.
- I'll telling you the truth.
- I hate you!
Doctor
Son
Where's my dad?
He went home to shower
and get a change of clothes.
Don't.
But I have to go help my friend.
Sure, but how can you help
your friend when you are sick?
Okay, I'll tell the truth.
I know that you don't like me,
but I always wish the best,
for you and your father.
Do you believe me?
Then do you believe that Maika exists?
Thanh.
I heard that your son is here,
so I thought I'd come visit.
It's the bad man!
Then have you considered my offer?
In another circumstance,
I'd accept immediately
- But in this case
- That's enough.
I'm not used to being rejected.
It's all right.
Something could happen in the future
to change your circumstances.
Incredible girl.
So small but sleeps for days!
A samurai warrior,
when he has failed his duty,
will use this tanto to open his belly
and protect the honor of his master.
If you die, who will collect my money?
Hi-So Towers has already purchased
the adjacent lot!
Who will I sell my building to now?
Hello!
Hello!
Hello, Bushido Agency here.
Cygnus?
- Nguyen Dai Nghia?
- Boss!
Astro Nghia!
Astro Nghia! Astro Astro!
Astro Nghia?
What do you want?
I think this is a good time for you
to have a heart-to-heart talk with Hung.
Sit down and listen to him
and start to believe in things
that you wouldn't normally believe.
You mean
I should believe
in Hung's imaginary friend?
You should believe your son.
Thanh!
Beo! Beo!
- Beo, Maika needs our...
- Hung!
Maika has been Will you let go?
What? I bought you all these gifts,
and now I can't even get one hug!
Let go! I don't have time
to play with you.
Maika is in danger and needs our help!
Do you know where Maika is?
Yes, but we're kids, and they're bad guys!
Where's your dad? Why not ask him to help?
My dad doesn't believe me.
Right now, I just need weapons.
Weapons?
Why didn't you say that sooner?
I have a wall of weapons!
Isn't that awesome?
They're all foam guns!
That's right! They're all foam guns.
Oh
You want bullet-type guns.
I can tweak the guns
to shoot whatever we want.
Anything but foam!
Why so mean?
- Hung!
- What?
Don't like it? There's more!
Don't like it? Exhausting!
One, two, three, four.
How dare you take Maika!
Kimchi? Are you hungry?
Nope. This is to slap
the bad guys in the face!
You're nuts, Beo!
Have you ever been slapped
in the face with kimchi?
It's super stinky and spicy!
If you want stinky,
then just open your mouth!
Now we have to get to Nghia's company.
But that place is high.
My bike won't make it.
Leave this problem to me!
Like them?
Yes!
Let's go!
What's going on?
Bin! Don't mess with me!
Go away. I have to rescue my friend!
With what?
Foam, smoke bombs, and a slingshot?
What do I tell Dad
if something happens to you?
Doing stupid things is my specialty.
Where to? I'll drive.
What's this?
A mosquito zapper?
Don't! Bin!
The doors are locked! What do we do?
Hurry, Beo, let's go!
CYGNUS
WARNING - SURVEILLANCE CAMERA
Hey, I thought you said Maika is here.
Hey! Come here!
Her skin is blue like a gecko,
but for some reason, he wants her.
Take her hand out.
Take the car down to the garage.
When I call you, bring the girl up.
Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Beo?
- Kimchi bomb!
- Stop it!
To the garage!
Where's the money?
I was going to ask
the same about the girl,
but I already know.
If you shoot us, the girl sleeps for good.
Don't worry.
These are electromagnetic pulse guns,
not machine guns.
One shot, and they'll fry
the electronics in your car.
You'll be fine.
The worst that can happen
is that you walk home.
I can take a cab.
Go hide!
Beo
Understand?
Got it! One second.
Kimchi!
No Not kimchi!
I bought the port for 50 billion VND.
But after I sign it over to you,
you can double that value.
Not to mention Hi-So Towers still wants
to buy the building you are selling.
Are you related to the girl?
I noticed you're spending a lot of on her.
If I was related to her,
then you wouldn't still be here.
Oh, hello!
You little punk!
Better not let me catch you!
Bin, hurry! Take the rope and tie him up.
I've looked into Cygnus.
I know all about your space race.
Wanna know my take on it?
In the year 2015,
scientists made a discovery
about the energy that is created
from the collision of two dying stars.
They used powerful telescopes
to observe them
and witnessed
a magnificent light show in space.
Beo, we're too late.
You're so full of it. Step aside!
The death of this star
was the birth of something else.
Maika is alive!
Maika!
So strong! So beautiful!
The debris created in space
from the dead stars
creates enough gold
to equal the mass of the Earth.
And this space race has nothing
to do with improving humanity.
It's just a big rush to scoop up gold!
I smell a greedy person.
Just bring the girl up,
and you can say whatever you want.
Stubble.
Bring the girl up.
Can you stop plucking your stubble?
Bring the girl up here!
Are you deaf?
Bring her up now!
Can you hear me?
Hear this
What are you doing, Beo?
Bio-weapons?
I was just playing!
Playing? We have to go!
Secure the garage. I'm on my way.
We're not done dealing!
You don't have the girl. There's no deal.
- Go!
- Why are you standing there?
- Go catch the girl first!
- Yes!
Wait!
- What's wrong with you?
- You drive like a mad man!
Where's my money? Where's my money?
Kichigai!
Turn! Hurry!
- Beo, they have guns!
- Keep driving. I have guns too!
You! You!
Block the exit!
What kind of driving is that?
- The car has gone crazy!
- How?
- Why did the door open?
- The electronics are broken!
- Hey! Wall!
- Turn! Turn!
- It's a dead end!
- Turn!
Shoot him!
Bin, hurry! He's catching up to us!
Shoot his helmet!
Shoot his tire!
You two punks are trying to take me on?
Beo! The road is ending!
Help me!
Shoot his chest! Shoot his legs!
How can you hit me?
You can't hit me!
You crazy driver!
You drive like a maniac, Bin!
Hey, there's another car!
I'm gonna puke!
Bin! Stop braking!
- We're out of ammo!
- Catch up to them!
Papa's got this!
Eat boogers!
Slime it up!
Keep shooting!
Chalk bombs!
Hurry!
Kichigai!
Beo!
Beo, close the door!
Chubs!
Get me the backpack!
Chubs!
Are you giving me an appetizer?
- Uh! What is that?
- Kimchi!
Ah! My eyes are burning!
Want some kimchi, Hung?
Hey, it's Nghia!
Hey, where are you heading?
Bin! Reverse the car!
Back it up! Back up, Bin!
Go!
Bin! Bin!
Bin! Beo!
You killed my friends!
- It's just a shock. They're fine...
- Let go!
- Don't touch Maika!
- That's enough!
Son.
Are you and Maika okay?
You believe me?
I'm sorry.
I won't break my promises anymore.
Maika
Maika is very weak, Dad.
Maika is fine, son.
Let's get you home, Maika.
Kichigai!
Dad!
Don't, Maika!
Maika, don't!
You're still too weak!
Don't!
Maika! Maika, don't die!
Maika, please don't die.
Maika's dead, Dad.
Maika is not dead yet.
She can still be saved.
What are you saying?
I can save Maika.
How?
With this.
It can also help her recover
as easily as charging a battery.
How can you be so sure?
Because I have met Maika's comrade.
I have examined him.
Friend
Comrade Where is he?
Born from a star
in death, becomes a meteorite.
That's why a meteorite has healing powers.
Your wife knew this,
but she found out too late
and was too unfortunate.
And me? I have
a whole mountain of meteorites.
Only I can save Maika.
Can you really save Maika?
Yes.
But only on the condition
that you never see her again.
Why not?
Because I need Maika to help with my work.
She's gonna help me
reach the moon and beyond.
If I agree to work for you,
then surely my son can visit.
Sorry, but that offer has expired.
Now only Maika's life matters.
You promise you won't hurt her?
I promise.
I will heal her and never do
anything to harm her.
Deal?
Maika
Don't forget me.
Here.
Whenever you are sad
or miss Maika too much,
then just look at the moon.
She'll always be there.
Maika.
Maika
Listen to me
There's no need to cry.
Maika will live again because of you.
She will live because of you.
Right now, Maika is not by your side,
but you haven't lost your friend
because when you love someone
with all of your heart,
then she will always be with you,
wherever they go.
Listen to me.
Close your eyes.
Now I want you to remember
all the times
that you and Maika were together.
What were your happy times?
Your sad times?
Don't.
Remember.
Try to remember, son.
Fill your heart with all
of those happy moments with Maika.
- What do you think, Hung?
- Ooh!
Gorgeous!
Now
I want you to gather them all
and send them to your friend,
so that she can carry them with her.
Forever in my heart,
wherever you go.
- Forever in my heart
- Forever in my heart
- wherever you go.
- Wherever you go.
Forever in my heart,
wherever you go.
Forever in my heart,
wherever you go.
Forever in my heart,
wherever you go.
Forever in my heart,
wherever you go.
Forever in my heart,
wherever you go.
Forever in my heart,
wherever you go.
Maika!
Don't kill me.
My friend and I will go home now.
No.
Don't!
That's my life's work!
No!
What now?
You have to dream another dream.
Maika! Don't kill him!
I didn't kill him.
I only fixed his sadness.
You're alive, Maika!
The bracelet!
Hey, don't use up all of my hugs!
Too far!
Can you help me a little, Maika?
So far
What are you trying to do?
Please stop!
Please let me down, I beg you!
- Wow! It's so beautiful!
- It's ginormous!
It's even bigger than a normal spaceship!
Wow.
Thank you for helping me get home.
Thank you
for helping us have a home to return to.
Forever in my heart,
wherever you go.
That's enough, Beo!
Wanna fly?
Wow.
Now we'll both use our superpowers
and make this fire burst into a fireball.
Let's go to sleep.
We still have fishing tomorrow.
Can I stay out here a bit longer?
Pace yourself, son.
Not too long.
Thanks, Mom.
Good night, Mom.
