Mars Ravelo's Darna! The Return
There are inexplicable forces that exist beneath our world.
And there are times when they come up to the surface,
which bring darkness that could not be overcome...
...by humanity.
It destroys our dreams,
hope,
our lives.
This force is now laying waste in San Mateo and Talisay.
The volcano is erupting.
They said it would never reach Talisay.
We should have prepared earlier.
We shouldn't have been in this predicament.
Don't cry, OK?
Stop it, nobody is at fault. Let's just do what we can.
Bring it here! Over here! Get some more, hurry!
Grandma! Grandma, Narda is missing!
Grandma!
Grandma.
- Ding, where's Narda? - Grandma.
- She maybe trapped in lahar. - Narda!
Narda!
Captain! Captain!
Help me look for my grand daughter!
You! Help Marita. Look for her granddaughter!
Now the whole town of Talisay will be covered in lahar...
because of your greed.
You will pay for this.
You'll see.
I will escape again and I will get you.
Be on your guard!
Thank you, Darna.
We have been looking for him.
He was hiding a long time.
Forgive us, we have to go.
Lahar is flowing they said.
And there's a report of a woman missing.
- A woman? Who? - Her name is Narda.
Tell her grandmother not to worry.
I will find her.
[Siren wailing]
Here!
The lahar is coming!
Leave it! We're evacuating. Hurry! Hurry!
Marita, run!
Save the children! Save yourselves! Run Marita!
Narda!
Captain: Save yourselves!
Hurry! Leave your homes!
We're leaving Talisay, and our lives.
My chickens and pigs.
All gone.
It took me...
...a long time to set them up.
Grandma?
Hurry, Ding!
Hurry, let's look for Narda!
Quick.
Let me ride...
I beg you.
- This is deep. - Grandmother!
The water will be higher than us.
- Narda! Narda! Narda! - Grand daughter!
- Narda! Narda! - Narda!
It's Narda!
- She is still alive. - Narda!
Hold her...
we will bring what we can.
Ding...
Don't let go of her OK?
- Puring! - You might fall!
Puring, we are here, Puring!
Why did this happen? What have we done to deserve this?
God help us.
Walk! I said walk!
Please!
Narda, the stone, where is it?
- Grandmother! - Why?
It's Narda!
Narda? Why?
- Grandmother. - Narda?
What happened to my sister Narda?
What happened?
Walk! Please walk now!
- Blackie! Stand up! - We are still very far.
Grandmother, what now?
Ding, help your sister, let's go.
Where will we go?
I don't know, maybe Manila, hurry!
Hold on to your sister...
I will get our things.
Ding you go ahead.
- Sister, enough! - Narda!
Run! There!
Go! Shoot!
Score? Here! Shoot!
Stay here.
Where can I find Pol Vinancio?
There.
Thank you.
New arrivals again.
Is it too much, Pol?
Auntie, it is no problem, OK?
Ding are you OK here?
Please give me work, anything.
Ding please.
Auntie, its OK, you're in Manila now it's OK for him to work.
- Can you handle it? - I can do it.
It might be dangerous.
Auntie, it is better for him to learn...
as long as he is careful.
Just don't cheat, don't steal don't use drugs.
Like me, I'm still from Talisay province.
Simple province man but earning in Manila.
Talisay is no more Pol.
I planned to buy the land father lost to the bank.
That's what he wanted before he died.
I worked so hard even in construction.
I will stay longer here in Manila...
you too Ding, you will grow up here.
How about Narda?
She was not like that before,
she was full of life.
I don't know what happened.
She is in shock auntie...
many are like that because of the calamities.
They lose hope and go crazy sometimes.
No, but...
Get used to the noise you are no longer in Talisay.
Dr. Adan said,
the time is near,
when the forces shall lift,
the whole of Manila to the heavens!
There we will all be saved.
Pol, it's my sister Narda!
- Where? - There! Come!
Enough!
Are you crazy?
Buddy, leave her alone, the poor girl.
Buddy, we are only having fun.
Buddy, let me handle her OK?
Buddy, please, no.
Look, we're only having ood time with...
Buddies, please don't!
"Don't"?
Who said "don't"?
Did you say that friend?
Magnum does not like to hear that.
Please repeat it friend.
Don't.
Don't what?
Have mercy, they are my grandchildren...
Don't hurt them please.
Old lady, your grand daughter is not so innocent.
She is teasing the men here.
Next time doc, don't let your patient loose.
Ok?
Are you provoking me?
What?
You are going to the police and tell them you saw Magnum?
So what? I hold the police.
The problem with you is you have no respect.
You don't have...
...fear.
Next time buddy, I will make you dance.
That is fifty pieces, OK?
When you finish them go home to grandmother.
Yes, I will.
Be careful OK?
No problem, big brother.
Please buy some.
Five pesos for four.
Farewell.
Wow!
Narda.
Ding will take care of you.
Don't go far, OK?
Your brother is not scared of Magnum?
Who is he?
The syndicate they said. What is a syndicate?
Well you're the one from Manila.
Anyway, I am Ding.
Pia, buddy. Yes!
My father was killed by Magnum.
I am not afraid of him.
Good for you.
Is she a beggar?
Narda, a beggar?
Heck, no!
How can she be one, when she's strong enough. Right?
You are so naive.
Many like that in Manila. I thought she is just acting.
Move!
[Car honking]
Hey!
[Car beeping]
Do you want to die?
[Tires squeal]
The woman!
Sister Narda!
Did you get hurt?
What do you want from me?
What are you doing?
Ouch!
Don't touch me!
Ow.
[Ding screams]
Ow!
Ouch!
My God I'm late!
Why did you have to stop. Worthless!
You just bumped a crackpot.
Let's go! Many are waiting for me.
Here boy!
Thank you...
- Pia, take care of Narda, OK? - Yeah.
My God, Crissy!
How can you get a man if you dress like that!
- What? - What craziness is that with fads?
Too much.
- Ouch! - What?
The way you look.
Look.
I got your father...
...because of these.
Jewelry.
It's a must.
When a man sees you...
...he must think...
Hmm, possible.
Got it?
Mother please?
- Rustan's. - Clavio, to Rustan's mall.
Don't pass the EDSA highway.
Clavio, go to Shaw.
Yes, ma'am.
When a man is attracted...
Hey! Who are you? What are you doing here?
I want to follow the Mercedes-Benz.
Follow the Mercedes-Benz?
Clavio follow the Mercedes-Benz.
Yes, ma'am.
Valentine! Valentine! We will know!
They said it is the end of the world!
I love you all! I love you all!
Let us all together bring back the beauty of nature.
Manila will be saved come all of you, come to' me!
Come to me!
A few words Dr. Adan...
what is it exactly we are tying to accomplish here?
Nothing that has not already been pre-ordained from the very beginning.
Do you really believe that the city of Manila...
will be saved from lahar and the deluge?
My friends, she asks...
if Manila will really be saved from the deluge..
Is it true?
- True! - Yes!
She do not believe that the city...
will rise to the heavens where we will be blessed by the all powerful.
She don't believe that all who come to Manila will be saved.
Boo!
Here have your interview with them...
the people of Manila...
the people of Luzon...
my people.
Valentine! Valentine! I love you!
Weird Filipinos.
Valentine!
So many trials have passed.
I never complained.
I sacrificed all just to keep you with me.
You!
Yes, you!
Don't look away!
I am talking to you!
If you are looking for happiness,
for peace,
if you are looking for wealth that you cannot count,
come to me.
Now, go to Adan building,
where you will see the power of the snake.
Come hurry!
Pia come with us!
The day of redemption is near!
Why are you scared?
Of lahar?
The volcano?
Earthquake and floods?
These are only signs that the day is near for redemption!
The day is near...
the whole city will go up...
to the heavens away from the calamities that are coming!
Then, the city will come back down...
there we will see a new world!
A world at peace with nature!
Come let's get Narda.
85, 00, 05, 100!
Shhh! Lets go!
Sister! Shhh!
Let's go!
Narda come!
Call them all...
those you left behind, family even cousins!
Tell them to wait...
for the day of redemption here!
Come to me! All of you!
Let us all shout,
redemption!
And wave them, high!
The day of redemption is coming!
The day of redemption is near!
Time out!
Bring nature back, redemption is near.
Bring back the crazy day!
The crazy day is coming!
The day of redemption is coming!
Are you ready to follow me?
Yes!
What? Hey!
Where are you going?
Hey!
You will pay for this!
Go home Pia hurry, I will take care of Narda, hurry!
What? And leave you? I won't!
I have to look for Narda...
it is better you are safe already!
Green is the color of money,
Blue, the color of wealth...
wealth of the spirit...
and the heart...
wealth of money.
Narda! It's me!
And nothing will stop...
what has already begun!
Narda let's go home, hurry!
Sister let's go home.
Narda, don't be scared. Get it now!
Narda come on!
This city has been chosen the all powerful...
that is why we are...
that's why we are...
...saved!
I saw something...
death, waste...
many do not believe us!
Go home now and bring more followers to me!
Those who do not believe. If not we will all die!
Give me the stone, I need it.
Swallow it Narda...
Hurry!
Hurry, swallow it!
Sister... The stone, swallow it, hurry!
Yes!
You shout, Darna!
Darna!
It's Darna! Darna!
Stupid! Useless fools!
Idiots!
Yeheey! Yehey, yes!
Yehey! Yes!
Thanks, you are finally back!
But Valentina is back too.
She is so old?
Who is the other woman?
That Dr. Adan?
I don't know. Not yet.
Why does she want the people to go to Manila?
Everyone, including Grandma, believe her so much.
We will know soon Ding.
Why they want them in Manila,
Valentina has evil plans.
I'm worried for them, Ding.
You never fail us right? Buddy?
Stop that Manila boy talk, huh? It doesn't suit you.
Mother.
Why did you let them take the stone?
Take it back.
Yes mother, I swear I will get it back!
Many are still lost,
many still do not believe.
What will happen to them when the day of redemption comes?
If they are not in Manila, how will they be saved?
Those from the provinces when they come here...
and have nowhere to go what happens to them?
There are refugee centers...
that care for them.
Can you bring me there?
What? Tomorrow.
Good morning Pol!
She has changed a lot.
Even grandmother.
According to our reports...
Magnum is hiding here.
Do you know anything?
Just keep quiet.
Miss maybe you can help our clean up operations.
The criminal Magnum is supposedly hiding here.
We have witness protection programs to protect from...
She does not know anything, she is new here.
Sweet talker.
Pol he is just doing his job.
I hope so.
Captain, don't you recognize me?
Narda, also from Talisay.
Captain, where are your children?
Is the day of redemption near, child?
I am so tired.
I am just waiting for Manila to go up to the heavens.
Captain...?
Excuse me...
but weren't you the one I spoke to earlier...
with the hot head companion?
Pol is not that way, it's just you just keep on charging ahead.
It's my job, are you a nurse?
No. Just a volunteer.
We are the same. Same low salary, if any.
And we both don't know who we are talking to.
I'm sorry...
Max Ablan. Lieutenant. Police.
- Charlie One to Cobra. - Narda.
- Excuse me... - Charlie One to Cobra,
- come in please! - Ok, go ahead go ahead!
We have a code 20 here, sir. It's Magnum.
I'm on my way there, over.
What did they say?
There's a hold up, men of Magnum.
You are going alone? No back up?
I have. We will meet there if I'm lucky.
And if not?
Like you said, I will just keep on charging.
Suddenly they entered the bank and fired shots...
then they took a teller hostage, my friend.
Help! Let me go!
I don't want to be there!
I will jump!
Three of security were shot so much blood.
There you have it a hold-up.
But I have one question.
I will kill you, stop!
Where are the police when we need them?
There! More! There mister!
Where are the police when we need them?
Who is in charge anyway?
All clear.
Thank you sir...
This is good business.
Thank you ma'am.
Bring me back!
Hey!
Stop meddling!
Let her go!
If you say so!
Thank you Darna! Thank you!
Thank you!
- I fell, I fell! - I saw it.
Thank you Darna!
I am going to have a heart attack.
What is happening?
Magnum...
why do you hurt women?
I enjoy it!
I am here, hurt me see how much you will enjoy?
Well? Will you still hurt women?
Depends?
You cheated. I don't want to play anymore.
Don't!
Darna, you are so great!
Where did you go for elementary?
You are very familiar.
Wait!
Darna!
Can I shake your hand?
They got the stone...
have you lost the power of the snake?
I stole the stone from her before...
I will find a way to get it again.
The day of redemption is near...
come to Manila and when they are all here mother...
they will all drown in lahar,
and no one will survive except us mother.
And when I get the stone from Darna nothing...
Don't be too sure!
Mother...
don't you trust me? Mother?
I do trust you, you have the power of the snake.
The time of revelation has come...
let the leaves cleanse all that are in this house.
Green true green...
now is the time to change.
Ding! Pia!
I told you to join me in my oration?
Yes, grandmother.
- Let us change, time has come. - Good evening auntie.
The time of revelation has come,
let the leaves cleanse all that are in this house.
- Green true green. - Why did our house turn into a jungle?
It's supposedly magic.
- It is time to change. - Powers against the devil?
Aunt Marita why? You never did this in Talisay...
Snake!
You are the evil Dr. Adan told us about.
No faith, snake!
Lets take a look at crime news,
unconfirmed reports of Darna being seen in Quezon City.
Reports say she stopped a hold up in Joy shopping mall.
Yes! Darna is back!
Pol it's Darna look!
Darna?
She is only in comics.
Thousands of Quezon City residents today,
witnessed the return of the Superhero Darna.
She staged a magnificent comeback this afternoon,
where she foiled the notorious crime lord Magnum,
to rob a bank in a busy shopping mall.
Can't you do anything better than watch?
You said you will find the stone?
Just relax.
Relax?
How can I when my mother is turning into a worm!
She is my mother too.
Then start moving and get the stone.
It is time to change,
let us renew ourselves,
green true green.
Why is grandmother like that?
She is under the spell of those people.
Can you help her?
But how?
Tell her the truth then.
I did many times,
but she does not believe me.
Then talk to her as Darna...
you can do anything as Darna right?
No, Ding. There are things Darna cannot do.
That is the painful part...
those I love...
are the ones I cannot help.
Grandma, just stay here.
Thank you, you shouldn't have.
It's nothing.
Narda tell me the truth...
is Pol your boyfriend?
No.
Narda, I have something to tell you...
tonight we have a dangerous operation.
Magnum kidnapped the son of a rich Chinese.
You never know what might happen.
How can I help?
Just pray for me...
I just might...
Sorry, I'm so sorry.
Max, can I help you?
Yes, pray for me.
You won't miss me anyway if I'm gone.
You still have Pol.
Max, don't say that.
Take care.
I have a riddle for you,
it's not human, not animal,
not a bird but can fly,
and when it flies,
and you don't duck you will all explode.
Sir, it has been one hour with no movement.
But we are sure the hostage is inside.
How many kidnappers.
There were twelve sir but now no movement.
How can you be sure?
Sir, we have snipers on the top.
Ok, give me three minutes.
I am going in, standby...
Nobody here. Ground floor all clear.
Roger sir, no confirmation sir, Over.
- Standby. - Sir, OK at the back.
It's not human, not animal,
not a bird but can fly,
and when it flies and you don't duck you will all explode!
Darna! Help me!
Checking second floor...
I hear voices.
Someone's talking.
I am going in, standby.
Don't! Don't go in!
Max!
Darna!
Miss Darna, did you see Lt. Ablan?
Max!
Washington news, son of industrialist and multi billionaire Emerson Yu,
was rescued in a dramatic effort,
just hours by our very own wonder woman Darna.
The successful rescue attempt,
which took place at the...
at the,
What is this? Trickery?
You said you will get the stone?
You said you will get Darna?
Tomorrow we will get Darna.
You can't even get the stone how can you get Darna?
You talk too much. Why don't you just get the stone already?
Well? Huh? Is your venom drying out?
Are you a snake or a worm? Hm?
Because, I just want to be sure.
And I want to play a little.
You want to play?
Auntie is gone, Ding is gone...
even you disappeared.
Where did you go Narda?
Were you with Max?
How many times will I tell you Narda...
that you cannot trust the police.
You know Narda, ever since you came here to Manila...
I told myself that...
finally I have a family here.
I swore to protect you all no matter what.
I want to protect you Narda...
why don't you let me protect you...
I can do it.
Pol, I will look for Ding for a minute.
Come my brothers,
let us meditate on nature for our salvation.
Something's happening...
- Pia, let's go see! - Ok.
Green...
green is the color of the dollar...
of wealth.
Come all who will inherit the wealth of nature.
The day of salvation has arrived,
the lahar is coming!
If we do not have faith we will all die.
But don't worry pray and wait,
today you will see the mystery of the snake.
The hour of redemption is at hand!
Let these leaves cleanse the village.
Green, true green.
Now is the time to renew ourselves.
Change and throw the old beliefs.
If not we will all die!
What?
Ding where is your sister?
Narda!
We will all die if we lose faith.
Narda! Narda!
Pol!
We will all die! We will all die!
Help! Help!
The all powerful is coming, all of Manila...
- Pol! Help Pol! - Will rise to the heavens,
and will come down a new world.
Renew yourselves, now is the day of redemption brought by Dr. Adan.
We will all die!
Narda! Narda!
You don't understand Max...
the problem is...
I think I am in love with two men...
one silent and sweet...
the other keeps charging and aggressive.
I need more time.
Is that what you really want Narda?
We will all die!
Thank you.
Narda!
The day of salvation has come.
Nature shall return...
and we will see the new world.
Do you see it?
Yes!
Do you see it?
Yes!
Why are your voices weak?
Don't you believe?
We believe!
I am tired...
I have to pray alone.
(evil chanting)
Where is your power now Darna?
It is there returning the strength of Valentina our mother.
Our mother Valentina...
You've defeated her many times.
You've tormented her many times.
But finally...
She finally wins.
Look what your weak heart has done?
Look!
Look what your weak and keen heart has done.
You fell in love with the son of your enemy,
You have been bitten by the snake!
Poisoned by your own love.
Go ahead.
Look at your beloved Max.
[Evil chanting]
Close all the doorways...
Gather our men.
There are already many people outside the building.
Make sure Dr. Valentine is safe.
Please help us.
Hurry.
Oh.
Ding!
Ding, the stone!
Sister! Sister!
Darna!
[Evil chanting]
Yes!
Go, fight!
Yes!
Darna!
Darna, its Valentine! Darna!
You are a liar, Dr. Adan...
You said...
Green was the color of money.
And of material wealth.
No.
Green is the color of rebirth,
and replenishment,
of nature.
And the renewal of hope.
Pol.
Thank you.
Why?
You helped me.
I was able to help?
I hit my head.
I don't remember anything.
I honestly don't know...
...how we got out from there.
Good thing Darna came.
I didn't see her.
You know Narda...
I still have many things to do.
I will return to Talisay.
I will return to farming.
I wish...
you would come.
I love to.
But...
It is not yet time for me to go back.
Like you...
I still have things to do.
I need to fix my life.
How about me?
Don't worry...
When you need help,
for sure Darna will be there.
Darna?
Right.
That's only in comics.
