UYT.
Good morning, Ma'am. My name is Bennett Caparas.
And I would like to apply as a piano instructor
here at Harmony School of Music, Bicutan branch.
I am a graduate of
UP School of Music in 2004.
And I have done a recital with the UP Concert Chorus in 2007.
Who's there?
Miss Cora, wait a second.
Listen, my husband is drunk again.
Maybe you should pay us your rent now.
Tough times now. I can't find a job.
A month. Give me one more month.
Bennett, you haven't paid us in months.
Is there something there that you can pawn?
Pawn? Here. My watch.
It's yours. Made in Japan. Amazing watch.
Your watch won't suffice.
Can we have your laptop instead?
Miss Cora, I'll give you my liver, just not my laptop.
Please, Bennett, my husband is really drunk. I don't like violence.
So I'll just go inside and get your laptop, okay?
- I don't like violence. - Sorry, I'm not dressed, Miss Cora.
Bennett! I don't like violence. Berhilyo is really drunk!
Sorry, Ma'am!
Miss Cora, please! It's really late in the night.
Pretty boy
You slammed the door on my wife.
You! Listen up!
How many months have you been our tenant?
Eight months!
Then after paying the advance and deposit
You never paid us again!
A troublemaker, huh?
Are you going to fight me?
You going to show me more karate moves?
- Where'd you learn that? - From YouTube.
Hey, pretty boy
I'll give you two weeks.
Two weeks. If you don't pay me in two weeks...
Hello?
Sigfried de Leon? Limuel de la Pefia here.
We were classmates in elementary.
Sorry, this is Bennett Caparas.
No time for jokes, man.
I'm begging you.
I need your help tonight.
Meet me at Galaxy Bar.
I'll be counting on you.
Sigfried de Leon
How have you been?
You look the same. Nothing's changed.
I'm getting fatter.
My friend, I need your help.
You're a relative of Dante de Leon, right?
The famed exorcist from San Lazaro?
He's my uncle, the brother of my dad.
Can we go there tonight? To San Lazaro?
Why? What happened?
Biboy? Your brother?
What happened to him?
I am not a superstitious man.
But I just want to know if your uncle can do something
About Biboy's condition.
His wife left him three months ago.
After that, he seemed to have lost his sanity.
He's not the same person anymore.
What you need is a psychiatrist, not my uncle.
Do you know what Biboy did a while ago?
He skinned our dog alive.
And hanged him with our laundry.
You're telling me Biboy is possessed?
No.
All I'm saying is I have consulted all doctors.
I've tried all kinds of medicine.
My brother is losing his mind. I don't want him to end up in an asylum.
My friend
San Lazaro is really far.
It'll take us two days by car.
Just tell me how much.
I will write you a check.
Hello? Who is this?
Sigfried who?
Ah! Lito's son.
Sorry to disturb, Uncle. There's an emergency.
What happened, nephew?
My friend Limuel wants to consult you about his brother.
Okay.
Where are you? In Manila?
We have a car. We're on our way there.
We' re just gassing up.
What did you say?
The possessed man is in your car?
No sweat, Uncle.
My friend used tranquilizers on the possessed man.
He's asleep on the trunk.
Text me when you reach San Lazaro.
Great.
De Leon! Let's go.
Me and Biboy. We're not close.
We only see each other on Christmas.
We don't text each other.
How did his depression start?
His wife left him.
And then?
The problem with Biboy is he's soft.
If he gets fired from a job, he locks himself up in a room.
One whole week.
And he won't eat.
Prone to depression.
In hard times like these, you can't be that way.
You've got to be a little tough.
I didn't know Biboy's like that.
A weakling.
You? Are you a strong person?
I am made of steel, Sig.
I am made of steel.
Your uncle's a certified exorcist, right?
I hope he's not a fake.
Friend, I'll just tell you:
It's been awhile since I last visited my uncle.
Let's just ask for directions when we get there.
San Lazaro's a bit tricky on the map.
How you've been, friend? Long time no see.
Just like every Filipino,
_ Struggling. - Struggling?
Really now?
I still remember your catchphrase when we were kids.
What was it?
"Fight, fight! Never surrender, Maskman!“
I barely slept in two days.
Quite an intense week.
So, friend, how is work?
Me?
I have a veterinary clinic near commonwealth.
I formulate tranquilizers for export.
In Taiwan, Vietnam,
Singapore, Hong Kong.
So is business good?
The work is fun.
The collections are good. I got some savings.
You?
I have business ideas in fruition.
I have a food stall.
- Steamed dumplings. - Steamed dumplings?
Yes.
Steamed dumplings.
Do you want to know why you can't score a girlfriend?
You're boring.
You're too much of a good boy. That's old hat.
Girls don't like boring.
Go! Ask her out!
You shy 9"!'-
I don't have a crush on her.
On the freelancer?
Liar!
Since the Monday she came here, you can't stop staring at her.
You're so obvious.
I'll go ahead.
De Leon, don't be boring.
Your boringness will be the death of you.
Stop being shy. Go do it now.
Miss Cheska, I'll go ahead.
Just turn off the air-conditioner when you leave.
Bye.
Excuse me, Miss.
Happy Valentine's.
Cheska?
Cheska? Am I right?
I go by a lot of names.
I change my name depending on the calendar.
So, you're in the witness protection program?
Joke.
There's a lot about me you wouldn't understand.
I have a rare brain disease.
The medical community doesn't have a name for it yet.
Because of my disease, I can't have a normal life.
Disease?
Let's just say:
There's a village of characters living in my head.
Whoah, Ches... Ches...
It's okay that I call you Ches, right?
You can tell me anything. I'm open-minded.
You know, I just want to be your friend.
Don't call me Ches.
You've been stealing glances at me the whole week.
Because it's Valentine's today and I thought of
giving you flowers.
One of the characters in my head is
Mang Raul.
Alias: "Spider Palms".
He is a document forger.
You're cute.
Sleepy-eyed.
Lanky.
Awkwa rd .
I also have a crush on you.
Cheska Patricia Olivarez
I stalked you this whole week.
I stole your bio-data.
I even memorized your SSS number.
Sigfried Felipe Santander de Leon.
SSS Number
3390746572.
Are you game to steal
and accompany me to a brain operation in Canada?
This is your brother, Biboy.
Here's a thermometer. Just like what we did
when you were sick.
It's okay. Just don't bite it too hard.
Careful, Biboy.
You really can't blame Biboy, you know.
It really hurts when a woman fools you.
Men shouldn't allow themselves to be fooled by women.
The problem with us Filipinos is
we see all women as saints.
Women have horns too. They're no angels.
The problem with women today is
they' re too empowered.
Listen here.
I read an article.
There are women today
who rape men.
Women raping men? Where did you read that?
On the Internet.
Don't believe everything you read on the Internet.
Any hack can get published there.
But Limuel, I will tell you this.
Do you want to know how I tell
if a woman is really pretty?
How?
If I see her in ratty clothes.
Ratty clothes?
What?
Limuel, if you see a pretty woman,
dressed to the nines,
you're not falling for the girl.
You fall for her lipstick.
Her eyeliner.
Her nice dress.
It's so awesome for me seeing women without make-up.
And her hair's a mess.
And she's wearing wife-beaters or
a tattered shirt and shorts
slippers or she's barefoot.
Sigfried de Leon, you're an eccentric.
Your tastes are weird.
Chicks in ratty clothes. Damn, man.
I'll check the reading.
Without make-up, women are more natural. More honest.
Honest.
What's the reading?
Is he okay?
45 degrees.
Let's take him somewhere comfortable where he can sleep.
We passed by a motel, right?
Mr. Eduardo,
Burger has leptospirosis.
He's got three days to live.
It's better to resort to euthanasia
Rather he suffer.
Champ, we're okay with the delivery of the vaccines?
Now, hair won't fall off from your Peruvian.
I'll be buying that black rabbit.
Honey?
Hey, the down payment's done for the caterers.
And I got the magicians in a package deal.
Anicka's there, fitting her birthday dress.
It's gorgeous! You know where I bought it?
At Crossings. It's so cheap!
How about the invites? Have you e-mailed her classmates?
Tsk, you haven't, huh?
- Not yet. - I knew it.
A rabbit! How cute!
Why is it black? Shouldn't it be white?
Daddy!
Anicka!
Baby, what's wrong?
Someone called me.
He said:
He will go to my birthday party on Saturday
and he will eat me in front of you two.
Press CALLER ID and tell that maniac to stop!
"Hello, this Biboy dela Pefia. Please leave a message. Thank you."
Are you married?
Girlfriend?
None.
Why so? You're not bad-looking.
Slim pickings.
There are lots of sexy chicks in Manila.
Choice is yours.
Maybe you're too picky.
I'm turning 33 this year.
I haven't had a single girlfriend in my whole life.
Single since birth, man.
Single since birth?
Do you get lonely?
Limuel, I'm done with that word:
Lonely
'Lonely, lonely, lonely.'
As for me,
I'm tired of being a playboy.
It's been along, long life.
Women left and right.
A kiss here and there.
One night stands.
I'm married and settled down.
I married Kathy, my long-time girlfriend.
Our daughter's all grown up.
I am one settled man.
If I were you, sleep now.
We'll be early tomorrow.
I'll stay up and look after Biboy.
Hi Daddy. This is Mr. Rabbit.
Wake up! We're leaving!
Get dressed.
We're leaving.
Faster.
FI'OI1'l HOW OH, HO more stopovers.
We go there straight!
“Enrique Salazar: Ghost Expert.“
“If you encounter a ghost“
“Call me and I'll help you.“
“Good morning.“
“Our caller is Criselda Lapuz, from Bacnotan.“
Speak up, Griselda!“
“Our Igorot statue came alive“
“And ran away with my daughter. “
“Are you on drugs?“
- “No, Sir. " - “Alcohol?“
- “No, Sir. “ - “Marijuana ?“
- “No, Sir.“ - “Crack?”
“No, Sir. “
- “A real lgorot?“ - “ Yes, Sir. “
- “Are you sure?“ - “ Yes, Sir. “
“Is he black?“
“Was he holding a machete?“
Sorry, man. I was so tired.
Was so sleepy to drive.
I'll drive. Rest a bit.
Still a long way to go. But we're in the province now.
Take my seat and sleep.
No, I got it, man.
By the way, thanks for your help.
I've got no one else to count on.
Hold up...
One quick stopover here.
Uncle told me to ask for directions from a guy who works here.
Are you joking?
This is a cemetery!
I'll be quick. Take it easy, man.
Anyone there?
Caretaker?
Biboy...
Breakfast time.
Biboy...
Let' s eat.
Hey Sigfried!
The caretaker's there!
Who are you texting?
None of your business.
- Caretaker! - Shut up! I'll do the asking.
Which way to San Lazaro?
Uncle texted me...
Just go to the rotunda and make a left-
From now on, I'll be asking all the directions.
Is it okay if you stop raising your voice at me?
Do you mind?
What if I leave you and your brother alone here in this hick town?
Really? You'll do that?
Bennett Caparas.
Phillip Almero.
Ricky Patrimonio.
What's your alias now?
It's July.
What's your alias this month?
What's your new name?
You left your wallet in the car.
You could be a con artist...
Or an identity thief...
Just don't con me and my brother.
My brother needs our help.
Doctor Dr. dela Pefia
We've done all possible tests.
All I can say is
Your brother's condition is truly peculiar.
Wow.
Doctor
What are you saying?
There's no treatment?
Well
The brain scans
And blood tests show that
There are no drugs or alcohol in Biboy's body.
He's actually in the pink of health.
You know
No signs of bipolar disorder
Or schizophrenia.
Doctor, please, I beg you.
Half of my life-savings
I spent to treat my brother.
I even got some from my daughter's college plans.
Well
There is one way.
But you know
The medical community
Has a lot of skeptics
When it comes to this approach.
What's this?
The blog of a renowned expert.
Faith-healing.
Excuse me, Doctor?
Faith-healing?
Doctor Dr. dela Pefia
Do you believe in alternative medicine?
You seem to me a soldier of science.
But I tell you there are many other sciences
That we haven't discovered.
OPE" your eyes.
The world will never run out of sweet mysteries.
Doctor, I am sorry.
I just really have a problem with
Anger management.
I didn't mean to spit on your face.
It's okay. It's okay.
Doctor dela Pefia
May I borrow your left hand?
- Doctor? - Your left hand, please.
That one.
While lesser men watch Jean-Claude Van Damme
I do Steven Seagal.
You're nothing.
You're not a real doctor. Just a veterinarian.
Sigfried.
You know what your problem is, Junjun?
All you do is watch TV, TV, TV.
You need to exercise.
I tell you. You'll get really fat.
How will you score a girlfriend?
What?
You are one rude kid!
You're answering back to your dad!
Do you see this?
I'm going to spank you!
Hello?
- We got lost, Uncle. - Oy!
What happened?
We took a wrong turn.
And my friend
is throwing a tantrum.
HEY
You be careful.
Because it could be that
The evil spirit in your trunk
is derailing you two.
Got it, Uncle.
Let's leave the rest to Batman.
Okay, Okay.
Come again? Leave the rest to who?
Batman?
Ah, Batman.
I like that expression!
Hi Daddy. I miss you.
Why couldn't you come to my birthday party?
Daddy is taking care of Uncle Biboy.
What happened to Uncle Biboy?
Uncle Biboy is very sick.
I had to take him to the doctor.
Anicka...
You be a strong girl, okay?
Okay, Daddy.
Mister Rabbit is always protecting me.
Hey, de Leon!
Say sorry or not
I forgive you.
Sir! Sir!
Which way to San Lazaro?
San Lazaro?
Don't go to San Lazaro!
You will die!
Look at that view.
It's beautiful.
But they trade this off to suffer in Manila.
Why?
Can they eat that beautiful view?
The future is in Manila.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
Not a flat tire, please.
I don't have tools to change tires.
You drive a car without a spare?
I have a spare tire. I just don't have the tools to change a flat tire.
Son of a gun.
In the middle of nowhere of all places!
We're in the middle of nowhere!
Jesus!
I'll just go to the city.
I'll try to find some help.
I didn't think he'd come back.
Hey, man!
Here!
I thought he didn't have the balls.
I found a wrench.
Thanks, sir.
When I was 24,
I hung out with drug addicts.
We'd hang out in Teacher's Village.
We smoked crack then.
We were hardcore.
We'd already take some early in the morning.
I didn't have a job.
I was really a bum.
Then one night, I took in too much speed.
My heart started palpitating.
The palpitations were scary fast.
And there's so much information going inside your head.
I was like a mad dog.
Of course it was so wild,
I slipped and banged my head on the floor.
So I lost consciousness.
When I woke up,
I was already in East Avenue Hospital.
Who brought you there?
Hello, nephew.
A demon?
Seems like a demon?
What we have to do first is to identify
what kind of spirit possessed him.
Sigfried Sigfried
Hey!
Take a deep breath!
Take a deep breath. Deep breathing!
Has panicking ever done anything good?
Nothing, right?
Okay, this is what you should do.
First, put some salt in a plastic pack.
Tie it around his neck like a scapular.
This will weaken him for a short while.
Then he will start walking.
The salt will control him
and will let him lead you
to where all his energy comes from.
He will take you to the strangest places.
He will fall.
He will run.
Turn left.
Then right.
Sigfried,
The important thing is that
You don't stop him from walking.
He may look weak
but he's actually the one guiding you.
Sigfried, you should really take care.
Stay strong.
Do not fear the darkness.
It is only darkness.
He knelt down. What's he doing?
That's an anthill!
Is he drawing energy from the anthill?
Biboy's convulsing!
Do we shoot him with tranquilizers?
Melanie,
Look at your mobile phone,
it could pass as vintage!
Why don't you replace it?
But you're the one who gave me this
as an anniversary gift two years ago.
That's why I still love it even if it's so old.
Is that so?
Don't worry,
once I close the deal with Architect Chua,
I will buy you an iPhone.
Oh, iPhone...
Anyway, I'll go ahead.
Food is in the fridge.
Later after work, I'll go straight to the gym.
Do you hear that sound?
You can also hear that?
Our neighbor told me,
a spirit is dwelling here.
And during the time of the Marcoses,
the spirit killed the family who used to live here.
Hello?
I'll go ahead.
Wait! You' re leaving?
Biboy
Biboy, I'll tell you something.
Yes, Ma'am. This is
Melanie's husband, Biboy dela Pefia.
Tell her she left her cellphone at home.
“Oh, sorry, friend. “
“Melanie's not here yet. She's late for work.“
Oh? Really?
Weird. She left early.
Okay. Please tell her
that her phone is with me. Thanks.
“Melanie, my love. See you at the motel 8PM. “
Linda, the flowers Architect Chua ordered? It's been delivered?
The order's been cancelled. She has a new supplier.
Damn.
Are you sure?
Linda, why is my statue here?
I told you not to touch this.
It's an expensive antique.
If you break it, I'll get the damage from your salary.
Boss, I did not touch that!
This statue can't walk by itself!
Boss, I never touched that!
“Melanie, wear your red skirt later.“
Melanie?
Melanie ?
I'll improvise.
Sigfried, what will we do?
- He's horrifying! - Chillax!
How can I relax?
He might bite us.
Limuel, I know what to do.
Chillax!
Can you chillax?
- Just for one damn minute? - Okay, okay!
Water.
What are you doing?
Read to me what Uncle texted.
Read it aloud.
Read it aloud?
I can't read Capampangan.
What are you doing?
Are you playing with mud?
What the hell!
Chillax, Limuel.
I know what I am doing.
Limuel
Read the incantation.
Read aloud what Uncle texted!
Read! Read! Read!
Again?
Friend?
Sig?
De Leon?
You passed out.
Water. Water. Water.
Here.
YOU okay?
I'm so hungry. Let's eat.
Okay, okay. What do you want?
- Let's eat, please. - Yes, we'll eat.
Let's eat.
- Pizza. - Pizza?
We're in the jungle. No pizza here.
YOU okay?
- Let' s leave. - Wait, wait.
What is that?
Ativan for elephants.
Let's go eat!
Don't stand up.
Lean on me.
Let's order more!
Let's order the pizza you've been craving for!
- Waiter! - Enough! I'm full.
You sure?
Know what, Limuel?
The thing that makes me happy
One year ago
I won from a raffle
A MacBookPro 15-inch.
And then
Night after night
Surf, surf, surf.
That made me realize
Even if
I'm unlucky in life
Even if my parents are gone
Even if I don't have a girlfriend to go home to
I can manage.
As long as I have an expensive laptop
And I can surf the Internet
I'm still the luckiest man alive.
That's it.
I like your philosophy.
It's the small things.
What do you surf now a days?
Maybe you surf for porn!
No, no.
Have you heard of Google Earth?
Google Earth?
With Google Earth, you can see the entire Philippines from outer space!
It's fascinating!
Aside from that, what else?
Tutorials from YouTube.
Listen up.
I learned to play the piano
From the YouTube tutorials.
Impressive. What else?
Drawing comics.
PhotoShop.
Really?
You can learn all those skills?
Wow.
Now a days, what do you surf?
No. It's embarrassing.
Come on. Come on.
Taekwondo.
I am studying taekwondo from YouTube.
Piano.
Drawing.
Taekwondo.
Limuel, let's just say:
I'm a graduate of the University of YouTube.
University of YouTube.
UT.
Oh no, YT.
Er...
Friend,
Just a question.
Is it wrong to kill a man?
You know, just my opinion.
I think it's just okay.
There are people who deserve to be killed.
Corrupt politicians.
Stupid actors on TV.
That jerk Captain Barbel.
He's trysting with my wife!
Why are you laughing, friend?
Are you game?
You and me.
We'll kill Captain Barbel.
Are you with me?
Ten. Give me ten.
And then three reps.
There you go. Lift it.
There.
More.
Are you girls okay?
Sir.
Sir, if you enroll now we have special summer promos.
- Are you Carlo Benedicto? - Yes, I am.
Do you know Melanie dela Pefia?
Yes, I know Melanie.
She frequents the gym. She's my friend.
Really now?
What's your problem, man?
Is this guy harassing you?
What's your problem, man?
Melanie is my wife.
You wolfed her down.
You wolfed her down, you jerk. I'll kill you.
We went to Starbucks once. That's all.
Make peace, man. Not war. peace, man. Not war.
You fool!
This is none of your business!
Ouch!
I'll come back here!
And murder all of you!
Limuel, what happened to that man?
Are you sure you didn't run over his foot?
No, I didn't.
He iaywalked!
Are you sure you didn't run over his foot?
- You didn't run over his foot? - Ignore him.
- Let's go back for him. - Ignore him.
Limuel,
let's go back.
- He jaywalked! - We'll take him to the hospital.
No. It's a dangerous road.
Look at this place.
You are one stubborn person.
Have pity on the 9UV-
Do you know that guy?
- Do you know that guy? - No.
No, right? Why should we go back for him?
Sorry, Sir. We're truly sorry.
My friend has terrible eyesight. We'll take you to the hospital.
We'll leave you money.
Jaywalker!
Enough! Enough!
Friends,
Forgive me. I am not a bad person.
I got fired from the factory.
My family is starving.
Cellphone. Wallet. In the car.
Please don't hurt us.
Let's talk about this. Please.
Please don't hurt us.
Shirt and shoes. In the car.
- Brother, can we talk? - Drop the gun, brother.
The keys too. Inside the car.
Hurry.
Shirt and shoes! Hurry! Are you deaf?
- Shirt too? - Faster!
Kneel!
Sir, can we get something from the trunk?
What's in there?
Man, I have a simple request.
Drop your 9""
Let's settle this with fists.
- Kneel down! - We're kneeling down.
Drop your 9""
Let's settle this with fists.
Your friend's a tough guy, huh?
Let's fight like real men.
He has a gun, man.
He has a gun.
We'll get something from the trunk.
What is in the trunk?
Can we get it ourselves?
What is in the trunk?
Never mind, Sir! Never mind!
What is in the trunk?
What are you hiding in the trunk?
Is that a warthog?
From now on No more hitchhikers.
And no more monkey business.
Text your uncle now.
We're here in San Lazaro.
Okay, let's wait 'til it's two o'clock.
Until the check clears in the bank.
At five o'clock on the dot
Bring your luggage here at the motel.
Cheska, who did that to you?
None of your business.
Cheska, come on, who hit you?
Just tell me.
Who?
Cheska!
Conrado.
Cheska, who the hell is Conrado?
He's my stepfather.
He abuses me every night.
He's the reason why I want to run away.
Passport?
Passport ?
de Leon!
Is that a passport?
You're late! Mrs. Perez is waiting.
Sigfried, sit down.
How are you?
I give you this rosary. Pray hard.
When I was young, there was a fire in my school.
In Sampaloc, Manila.
All my teachers and classmates were burnt alive.
While I was in a burning classroom,
St. Bernadette appeared.
And she saved me from the fire.
Then she gave me that rosary.
Nobody knows, Sigfried.
Not my husband. Nor the people here.
I ask only one thing.
Confess at the church outside.
And return to me the money you and the freelancer stole.
Mrs. Perez, I know nothing about what you are saying.
Water from the fridge.
Cheska, listen up.
We have to leave now.
Meet me at the airport now.
Hello?
“This is not Cheska.“
“And if you call us again “
“I'll out your head off. “
This is San Lazaro.
What we do now is Find your uncle's address.
Can you find my wallet there?
We threw it somewhere there.
Is this it?
That's it.
My wallet.
Uh...
By the way,
This is my daughter Anicka.
Ever been to Hong Kong?
I haven't.
I was there last year.
For a convention.
I saved up some cash, I was able to bring Anicka along.
I brought her to Disneyland.
But there was a freak storm when we got there.
They closed the park down then gave us a refund.
Imagine that: It took me quite some time to
save up for Disneyland
Only for Anicka not to experience it Because of the weather.
But when we got to the train, Anicka kissed me on the cheek.
Then she told me:
"It's okay, Daddy. Being with you is better than Disneyland."
You know what, Sigfried?
You wake up one day,
and see how much your kid has grown.
Time flies in the blink of an eye.
She'll turn eighteen, have a boyfriend, will get married
and have a family.
As for me, I'll keep going back to that train car in Hong Kong.
Smelling her hair as it thundered outside.
“Anicka is next.“
Don't you drag my daughter in your games!
Biboy, wait up.
I am a vet.
Do you know how we put dogs to sleep?
Let me show you.
You alright?
Fight! Fight! Never surrender, Maskman!
When was your last fistfight?
Last night.
Superb.
Biboy!
Where did he go?
He went for the forest.
“ Good afternoon, Philippines! “
“And today we have on the line Mr. Rafael San Diego
of Barrio Pinaglabanan.
Speak up, Rafael!“
Mr. Salazar
I would just like to inform all of you
That the end of the world could happen tomorrow.
I come from a line of prophets
- From the time of Andres Bonifacio. - What do you mean, friend?
Mr. Salazar
I give you fair warning
Tomorrow, at exactly 7:37 in the morning
A gasoline station will explode in Makati.
Sigfried?
What now?
Okay, got that, Uncle. Got it.
I have a white blanket in the car.
And some flashlights.
Limuell
Limuell Help me!
Limuel! Limuel!
That's a deep forest we should split up.
No! I know how to find him, okay?
We shall find him together.
And how would you know?
Are you from these parts?
Sigfried? You there?
Biboy!
Time for us to go home, Biboy!
Sigfried?
Biboy!
Sigfried?
Biboy?
Sigfried?
Biboy?
Biboy, where are you?
Biboy!
So, Rex, any leads? Did you find her?
Is this your girl?
Not an exact match to the ID you provided, but
it's the closest match so far. Based on the police report we found.
Fell off the balcony of this very building.
Cause of death is
Suicide.
But you know what's weird?
Cause of death may also be self-strangulation.
If you really think about it:
How can anyone even do that to herself?
One more thing:
She was found wearing
Men's clothing.
And the name on her driver's license?
Also of a man's.
So she's probably a lesbian Or a transvestite.
Wait up, Rex
What name was on her license?
Conrado.
Her name is Conrado.
Chillax.
Time is long.
The world is a big place.
You've got extra lives left
like in a video game with cheats.
Rex,
I don't know what to do anymore.
I'm at a dead end.
Problem with you, Sigfried
is you don't trust your own brother.
Do this:
Go to City Hall and look for my friend.
Change your name.
Look for a new job.
Fatten up.
Grow a moustache.
Are you serious?
You know what your problem is, bro?
You let your loneliness defeat you.
So what if you can't find a girlfriend?
Did you even think that, after I lost my arm
I'm still able to find a girlfriend?
Not a single one. Zilch.
But you know, life isn't always About finding a girlfriend.
Look for one thing that's greater than a woman.
And dedicate yourself in that.
Look at me:
I really took to heart this detective thing.
So, are you going to take action
or keep whining like a letter sender to Joe d'Mango's radio show?
Uncle!
Uncle! We're here!
Sigfried!
Quick! Bring him in! Quick!
Over here!
Tie him to the bed.
My friend,
it's suddenly quiet in there.
You think everything's okay?
Let's put him here, Sigfried.
Bring those here!
Hang in there, Uncle.
Get my equipment!
My friend,
It's a good thing we saw him right away.
But, my friend He may never talk again.
Biboy ate his vocal cords.
"Let's all move to the basement."
"Dip his head."
Limuel
Uncle told me
The spirit that possessed your brother is just hungry.
And it will only leave
if you feed it a black secret.
Limuel
Whisper your dark secret to my ear.
Whisper it.
I am Captain Barbel.
Sigfried
Thank you so much for all you've done. And to your uncle too.
Can I tell you something?
Two years ago
I contracted dengue fever.
And
I was clinically dead for two hours.
While I was dead
I was expecting to see Heaven. Or hell.
Those two places were what I expected to greet me.
But
Nothing.
It was the color black.
In the end, we're all just like dogs.
Nothing matters.
So if I were you,
never compromise your happiness.
Well, what makes you happy anyway?
I love Biboy's wife more than my own family.
Uncle Dante, thank you so much.
We'll be going ahead.
Sigfried
I am forever indebted.
Limuel!
My friend, wait up.
Friend,
I forgot to give you this.
That's for you.
Emerson,
I'll go ahead, man.
Can you take care of powering off?
Of course.
Oh, by the way, someone left a package
for a certain Sigfried.
Is that someone you know?
Sigfried, Sigfried...
Yes.
- Where? Over there? - Yes, by the table.
- Alright. - See you tomorrow, man.
Sigfried, how are things?
Haven't talked to you in over a year.
I can't explain why I had the urge to write you.
Maybe I want to thank you for our journey.
Even if I don't remember anything.
It was a long journey.
The only thing I remember was being surrounded by trees.
That made me dream to live away from Manila.
Time is slow here in the province.
Quiet. Dogs sleep in the sidewalks in the afternoon.
By the way,
A lot has happened this year.
I finished a Landscape Architecture Course.
I live here in Dumaguete.
I teach street children Arts and Crafts.
It's a warm feeling, helping people.
Even people you really don't know.
Also, remember
to take care of the plant I gave you.
It's easy.
just give it water and sun.
Miss, where did you get this Mitsubishi Adventure?
Classified ads.
Thanks.
Wait, what's your name?
Sigfried.
I shall see you soon.
Take care, Sigfried.
There's a storm coming.
Sincerely Yours,
Biboy.
