1

We got to buy a lot, huh?

2

We're still within budget.

3

- Thank you. - For what?

4

For letting me stay with you.

5

It's nothing.

6

Thank you for being with me, too.

7

Big brother!

8

Here's your meal.

9

I'll put it inside.

10

Nobody knows her real name.

11

Nobody knows where Nerisa came from,

12

who she is,

13

or what creature she might be.

14

It was the people on the island who bestowed her the name "Nerisa".

15

I delight in Nerisa's arrival.

16

I may have found a friend in her.

17

Though I know that Obet is Nerisa's whole world,

18

Since the day she came to us, the men have always lusted over Nerisa.

19

Boying who thinks Obet just beat him to her,

20

Domeng, Gorio, and the other fishermen on the island.

21

They love flirting with visitors,

22

especially the pretty ones like Nerisa.

23

Beautiful, isn't she?

24

My, my. I'll be damned if I found someone like Nerisa.

25

Obet just got lucky and found her before I did.

26

Maybe if you dove deeper, you'll catch a fish like that.

27

- Let's go. - Hurry up!

28

I'll dive deeper for sure.

29

Nothing in this place goes unnoticed.

30

You can pluck a rumour in the air.

31

Right or wrong, truths or untruths.

32

Caloy!

33

Caloy? The man with a missing hand?

34

That's him!

35

My Lord! Has she no pity!

36

She doesn't discriminate.

37

How do they even have sex? Can he bend over?

38

Let me show you…

39

Ouch!

40

God bless you.

41

God bless you.

42

Mom, thank you for the meal but you don't have to do that anymore,

43

Nerisa's here for me now.

44

My dear! It's my pleasure to do it, nevermind if you have a wife.

45

Thank you, auntie.

46

You can call me mother.

47

Yes, mother.

48

We'll go ahead, mother. We're heading to the market.

49

Alright, get a move on or you'll be left with scraps! Go ahead.

50

It remains a mystery to us where Nerisa came from…

51

The others say she might be an escaped criminal looking to hide from the law.

52

Some say she's probably just another prostitute like Joni.

53

But most of us wonder if she might be a mermaid,

54

because it's believed that mermaids often appear in these parts.

55

They say that life underwater must be lonely,

56

so the mermaids look for a lover on land.

57

Because like people, mermaids yearn for true love.

58

If they find someone, but the man doesn't love them back,

59

they will drown him in the ocean.

60

But if their love is returned, they will grow legs and feet,

61

and will go on to live on land.

62

But in exchange for these gifts, misfortunes will befall the island.

63

No matter how many times Obet questions her,

64

she remembers nothing about who she is,

65

or where she came from.

66

People on the island want to throw her back to the sea,

67

or surrender her to the town police.

68

Because it seems that fish have become sparse ever since she arrived.

69

Maybe she's bad luck after all.

70

These are the kinds of people on this island.

71

They judge you, they look down on you.

72

They will never count Nerisa as one of their own.

73

This is the true face of the island.

74

But Obet came to her rescue.

75

That's how she will always think of him- her savior.

76

She will love him and will do everything for him.

77

There's no harm in giving her a chance.

78

The night will bring answers. We will decide in the morning.

79

Alright.

80

That's how it should be.

81

She can stay with us for the night.

82

Just for tonight?

83

Alright, we're done here.

84

My dear son.

85

Let him handle it.

86

But they say the sea is always watching

87

and it will stop at nothing to take what it wants.

88

Uncle, mother told me to give you this.

89

Okay.

90

That's Michael. His parents are affluent.

91

His family owns five boats.

92

They supply oil to the whole island.

93

He also brings a smile to my world.

94

Even when we were kids, he's always showed great capacity.

95

He's the only person from the island

96

who's ever been to and studied in Manila.

97

When Nerisa came along, something changed in how I saw the world.

98

Not just about the people around me, but about my own womanhood.

99

I'm happy to be with her.

100

Michael seems like a nice guy.

101

Huh?

102

I said, Michael seems kind and respectful.

103

Pa, this must be the happiest day of my life.

104

Keep doing well,

105

and take good care of your relationship.

106

I'm sure you will have lasting happiness.

107

And Segunda and I are very glad for you, Obet.

108

Your mother and father would have been happy for you, too.

109

Thank you, Pa.

110

Son of a bitch.

111

What bad luck.

112

Old man Erning, maybe we could fish a little further on the other side.

113

Let's see. We're going to starve if this keeps up.

114

Old man.

115

Yep.

116

I think we should try fishing on the other side.

117

It wasn't always this sparse in these parts.

118

Boying, we should head back. Get the boat running.

119

Oh, my Lord.

120

Is this all? Why so few?

121

Erning! Is this all of it?

122

That’s all there is lately.

123

Jesus.

124

I'm telling you.

125

There's a scourge on this island.

126

You should tell the captain about your plan!

127

That we should go further out?

128

Yeah! Instead of making do with this small catch.

129

Fine, I'll tell him. Let's go home.

130

Obet!

131

Boying, finish up and get home.

132

After their boats were rammed and sunk,

133

the offending ship escaped

134

and left our fishermen floating in the waters,

135

even if it was their obligation to help them.

136

The incident claimed the lives of four of our countrymen

137

while the rest of the crew were rescued by a passing Vietnamese fishing boat.

138

Sir, how are you so far?

139

Could you tell us about your experience last night?

140

I'm so glad God spared us and we came out of it alive.

141

I really thought we were going to die.

142

Alright, then, let's just find the supplies for St. Andrew

143

Right, yes.

144

What about the Youth? Any plans for the upcoming feast?

145

Michael?

146

Captain, I thought we could...

147

since we've never experienced a dance on our island,

148

maybe we could set it up.

149

Sounds like you enjoyed yourself at Obet's wedding.

150

No, Captain! I just thought couples in our community would love it,

151

if they had the opportunity to enjoy themselves from time to time.

152

Ah… for couples?

153

Yes, Captain.

154

To enjoy… You kids.

155

Alright! I have no objections to your plan.

156

As you know, a dance would build good relations

157

not only among people you know,

158

it is also a good opportunity to meet new people.

159

Well, then, Michael.

160

Discuss the details of the dance with your group.

161

Alright...

162

Keep me up to speed.

163

We can start looking for a location now.

164

Alright, then.

165

Watch yourself out there.

166

Thank you, sir.

167

If you need help, just come to us.

168

Okay sir.

169

What time is Erning coming in with the others?

170

They're probably on their way.

171

I don't know what they wanted to discuss.

172

Me, too. They just told me they had something to tell me,

173

and they're all coming here.

174

What do you think of this place?

175

I think it's fine.

176

Under the coconut trees?

177

The coconuts might drop on unsuspecting people.

178

We're going to first ask permission from the owner of this area.

179

Then maybe they will allow us

180

to fell a couple of trees around here.

181

That's possible,

182

but we're not sure they will let us cut down some of the trees.

183

This winery's owned by old man Kanor.

184

And it would be a shame to cut the trees down, don’t you think?

185

That's true.

186

Okay, let's find a different spot.

187

What if somewhere near the beach?

188

I wonder if it's okay.

189

What?! Are you sure about your plan?

190

Lately it seems we're just fighting over a small catch.

191

Besides, we've thought it through.

192

The foreigners are patrolling those waters.

193

Do you want to get killed?

194

Have you forgotten what happened to Caloy?

195

We don't have enough information about what happened

196

to Caloy and his mates, do we?

197

That old tale's just meant to scare us.

198

Whether or not that's true, you are still courting danger.

199

Why, every day we hear issues about those goddamned Chinese on the radio!

200

Are you using your head, Erning?

201

You know that your boats won't be able to handle it.

202

You might even have a run-in with the law!

203

They will call you out!

204

You'd be going beyond the Municipality Fishing Ground.

205

What makes you say we can't handle it?

206

And another thing, who among us has never broken a fishing ordinance?

207

Haven't we all?

208

Captain, Uncle, maybe we can make it work.

209

Didn't my father use the same type of boat back then?

210

Look what happened to him.

211

It was a storm that got Berto, Badong!

212

Uncle, Captain, it was a bad fishing month.

213

What more in the coming days?

214

I just hope you're not rushing into things.

215

We're not lacking in resources on this island just yet.

216

I agree!

217

Not just yet, but you must have noticed that

218

the fish out there are getting fewer and fewer.

219

It's just a matter of time before we run out.

220

We're all aware, that because of landslides,

221

logging operations in the mountains,

222

and illegal quarrying, ocean habitats are disrupted.

223

Where would we fish then? Where do we get our livelihood?

224

There is nothing I can do if you have made up your minds.

225

We're just telling you what we're feeling, Badong,

226

because you're the leader of our association.

227

But our families have needs.

228

Obet's about to have his own family now, too.

229

It's up to you. When are you leaving?

230

Old man Badong!

231

Look what you've done!

232

What did I do?

233

You'll drag all of us!

234

Captain.

235

Why would you be dragged into it?

236

Old man Erning.

237

I'm the Captain here.

238

That's enough, we'll talk about it.

239

Let's go over there.

240

Segunda,

241

have I become so useless in this barangay?

242

Vice president…

243

Sure, Erning is the vice president,

244

but I am the president.

245

Who should have the last word?

246

You, of course.

247

Well, then, that's enough wine for tonight, yes?

248

Let, make some coffee.

249

Make it quick. Just a cup.

250

And bring over your uncle's medicine.

251

To be honest, I'm very upset.

252

I know.

253

Here, mother.

254

Bring it here.

255

Drink this, just a sip- to refresh yourself.

256

Please, just a sip.

257

There we go…

258

Good man.

259

Obet,

260

maybe we could postpone our plan to go farther out.

261

Domeng,

262

I have my own family now.

263

I need to earn my keep.

264

If you think about it, the Captain has a point.

265

You know what happened to your father.

266

Domeng, we don't know if the same thing's going to happen to us.

267

That's in the past. It was a long time ago.

268

This is our only hope.

269

This is it.

270

And old man Erning is right-

271

when are we going to do something about it?

272

Sure we have reserves now, but we don't know if we can keep up.

273

We haven't had a good catch in a month.

274

For how long can we make it last?

275

Domeng, you sound like you're having second thoughts.

276

Don’t you want to come with us?

277

Don't worry, my mates will talk it over.

278

Domeng loves hearing his voice, huh.

279

You haven't seen him drunk yet. He's a riot.

280

Are you sure you'll be safe?

281

You know, old man Erning's done it many times.

282

The captain and the others don't know that.

283

What about you, have you gone outside the Municipal Fishing Ground?

284

Not yet.

285

But others have been doing it.

286

A lot of us are breaking the law.

287

Just think about it this way, Nerisa,

288

if we keep catching large quantities of fish,

289

we'll be able to buy our own boat.

290

To be honest, I don't want to join old man Erning's mates.

291

I want to create my own group.

292

Goddamn!

293

It doesn't matter if our people die out there

294

as long as the whole country doesn't get bombed!

295

I agree with you. We're the best, my friend!

296

Where in the world can you find,

297

that with so many other allies, you had to pick your worst neighbor

298

to take charge of your resources,

299

your family, your security!

300

You even gave them projects at our military bases!

301

That sounds great for national security!

302

Give them our strategical place, have them build a casino

303

or whatever the hell they want in the name of development, my friend!

304

My goodness, you’d even have to —

305

Hey, Domeng! Wake up! The sun's up!

306

Go home. Your wife's probably wondering where you are by now.

307

Goddamnit.

308

- Hey… - What?

309

Pay me!

310

Hold on a second.

311

You might run off like last time.

312

No, I won't.

313

Your coffee's ready.

314

My wife works so hard.

315

I found this in the sea a long time ago.

316

This is for you.

317

Nerisa,

318

that's the only photograph I have of myself. Take care of it.

319

Old man Cisco!

320

How's the morning catch?

321

Not much.

322

See you around.

323

It's all smokescreen!

324

Our own people begging for justice in our own country!

325

Don't lean against that too much.

326

You might rip the table in half! It's made in China!

327

You know what I think, my friend?

328

We should content ourselves with our 12 miles.

329

That's the only area they're guarding now, anyway.

330

To our fishermen friends listening,

331

Don't get too far into the ocean, okay?

332

They won’t be on your side when something happens.

333

You know how it is.

334

If your boat gets rammed and you didn't catch it on video,

335

you blew your chances.

336

If the marine habitats have been destroyed and overfished,

337

well, then, put up with a small catch!

338

There's nothing you can do! We need to back up, or they'll bomb us!

339

Who knows, maybe next time,

340

they'll claim those 12 miles as part of their territory!

341

Suppose when that happens, we'll just cry, huh?

342

So let's keep cursing at those people in their high offices...

343

Boying, hurry up!

344

Relax! Just wait.

345

Anyway, a stronger force already messed with us before.

346

Let's just accept that we're being messed with

347

by our new bestfriend, yes?

348

Let's forget about the countless fathers, mothers,

349

husbands and wives, our brothers and sisters —

350

heroes who gave their lives to fight for our freedom.

351

That we allowed ourselves to be taken over without putting up a fight.

352

That's for sure!

353

What's the matter, Lilet? You're always dawdling.

354

Walk quickly!

355

Nerisa!

356

Staring like a dullard.

357

Thanks for this, auntie.

358

Oh, it's nothing. Please, call me 'mother',

359

since I consider Obet as my own child.

360

Yes, mother.

361

If you must know, Badong and I can't have children.

362

So when Obet's parents passed away-

363

who were our good friends, we felt responsible for Obet.

364

He is a nice kid.

365

It just sort of happened that we became the keepers of children around here.

366

Like her.

367

My troublemaking sister left her daugher with me.

368

My sister ran away from here. I don't know where she's gone.

369

I'm telling you, your mother's up to no good,

370

I don't know what happened to her.

371

That's fish vinegar stew. Obet's favorite.

372

You should learn how to cook that-

373

How dare you!

374

How dare you!

375

You killed my husband! You monster!

376

Calm down!

377

How dare you! I knew you were the scourge on this island!

378

You're the scourge on this island!

379

You killed my husband!

380

Cut it out, Merced. Get a hold of yourself.

381

Calm down!

382

Ito! What's this about?

383

What is happening? Huh?

384

Something terrible happened, Miss Segunda.

385

We've been in touch with Coast Guard since yesterday.

386

They found parts of a boat floating out West.

387

The fishermen only found these.

388

The records show that the boat is registered to this island.

389

Where is Obet?

390

Ma'am.

391

No body hasn't been retrieved.

392

Only the wood was found floating around.

393

We've searched around, but...

394

We haven't found a body yet.

395

What? There's no body?

396

Enough.

397

This is your fault!

398

Stop that, Merced! Calm yourself down!

399

Monster!

400

We understand what you're going through.

401

Investigations are underway.

402

What else is there to investigate?

403

It's clear that my husband's boat was rammed

404

and I'm sure whoever did it aren't from here!

405

We have no proof that foreigners are involved.

406

The ocean is vast, Merced.

407

What proof do you need?

408

The men are missing and none of them have come back!

409

Those torn up pieces of wood, that's your proof!

410

Sir...

411

I want to know if someone's still out there looking for my husband?

412

The Coast Guard are searching for him as we speak, Nerisa.

413

Ma'am, please understand. Search and rescues take time.

414

And should we find his body-

415

Body? How can you be sure that my husband's already dead?

416

Body?

417

What 'body' are you talking about?

418

Sir, my husband's still alive!

419

So don't talk about him as if he's dead!

420

Please calm yourselves.

421

Let's admit that our fishermen chose not to heed our advice.

422

They still went far into the sea.

423

Now you're pinning the blame on them?

424

My husband is missing!

425

The sea is ours!

426

It shouldn't matter where we fish! Why don't you call them out?

427

Who's 'them'?

428

- There's an ongoing investigation, Domeng. - Investigation? That's all you know!

429

Nothing ever happens with your investigations!

430

Bring our husbands back!

431

Whoever did this should answer to their crimes!

432

Please calm down.

433

Hear me out.

434

Those who have lost their loved ones will be compensated with a small amount

435

and a boat that they can pay in installments

436

so you're not robbed of a livelihood.

437

We don't need a boat!

438

What I need is my husband!

439

I think they're just telling us they're out searching for Obet, but it's not true.

440

What would I do with a boat?

441

Mother, it's Obet I need.

442

The same thing happened to Itoy, Fernan, and Estong.

443

They're good friends of mine who also perished at sea.

444

Badong…

445

That's enough.

446

I will ask the Coast Guard for help. I know Obet's still alive.

447

You heard what the Coast Guard said, didn't you?

448

Why don't you just accept that Obet's gone?

449

I want to at least see Obet's body.

450

And embrace him, even if he's dead.

451

I will help find him.

452

I've been warning Obet about going too far out in the ocean.

453

There you go. They didn't want to be told.

454

I also told Erning that it wasn't going to be that easy,

455

especially since the ocean's become more unpredictable these days.

456

I don't know, bro.

457

I'm sorry about what happened to them.

458

I wonder if things would have been different if I had gone with them.

459

Son of a bitch.

460

Balong, can you serve us more snacks?

461

I believe that Obet's still alive.

462

Joni, I need your help.

463

Bro, should I have tried harder to stop them?

464

I think I did all that I could. I only told them the right thing.

465

They shouldn't take it against me if I didn't go with them, right?

466

Captain, I need your help.

467

What is it this time?

468

Not me, it's Nerisa.

469

Huh?

470

What kind of help does she need?

471

She needs to speak with the Coast Guard.

472

Coast Guard?

473

Well, then… I will help her.

474

- Love! - Yeah?

475

Love!

476

Somebody's just asking me find their missing ducks!

477

What ducks are you talking about?

478

Keep your voice down. My wife might hear you.

479

I will help her, but…

480

I want something in return.

481

You pervert. What are you thinking?

482

You can have me instead.

483

You?

484

I want to taste a new delicacy.

485

What is taking so long?

486

I won't be long now!

487

I'll send them home right now! Alright?

488

So, do we have a deal?

489

You know what, nevermind.

490

Damn you, shithead! Pervert!

491

Come on.

492

Did you think I'll do it for free?!

493

Shithead! Pervert!

494

Damn you too!

495

Get out of here!

496

Love! I'm coming in, Love!

497

My Caloy is so horny.

498

Caloy? The one with the missing hand?

499

Yes, he owns this boat!

500

Imagine, we've been at it three times and he still wants another round!

501

I told him, "you're a sex-addict!"

502

Stop that.

503

What, are there any virgins left these days?

504

Hey, Lilet! Aren't you and Michael fooling around yet?

505

I'm telling you, Lilet, all men-

506

they all want the same thing from us!

507

They want us to open our legs like this, look!

508

Not all men are like that!

509

Oh, why?

510

If you spread your thighs,

511

doesn't your husband kneel before you?

512

That's how we control them.

513

All cocks are the same,

514

thick ones, small ones, hairy, or bald ones-

515

they all worship one thing.

516

It doesn't matter if they're from here or from Manila.

517

You've been to Manila, Joni?

518

Yeah, but only for a week.

519

Why, do you want to go to Manila, Lilet?

520

I was hoping I could.

521

To look for my mother.

522

Forget about that.

523

Why, do you miss your mom?

524

Yes, but when I do, I just tell myself she's inside me.

525

Wherever I go, whatever I'm doing, she's with me.

526

Joni, stop the boat.

527

Obet!

528

Obet!

529

Obet!

530

Obet!

531

Nerisa.

532

Obet!

533

Big sis…

534

Obet!

535

Obet!

536

Big sis…

537

Sit down for a second.

538

We were ratted out.

539

They said, we stole a boat.

540

That's why they looked for us.

541

The people who found us seem like nice people.

542

They managed to help us talk to the Lieutenant.

543

You can go in now.

544

Thank you sir.

545

Come with me.

546

I'm not allowed.

547

Go ahead.

548

Get in. It's okay.

549

Sit inside.

550

Hello. Yes.

551

Yes. Give me around two hours.

552

Alright then.

553

Is this your husband?

554

Yes, sir.

555

I'm hoping you could help me.

556

The Coast Guard already spoke to me.

557

Okay, I'll help you find him.

558

Thank you, sir.

559

Did you get here all by yourselves?

560

I admire women who would do everything for their husbands.

561

Have you been married long?

562

Just recently sir.

563

Are you from there?

564

No, sir.

565

Where are you from?

566

I don't know.

567

Why don't you know?

568

I hope you can help me.

569

I thought you'd do anything for your husband.

570

By this time,

571

if your husband's still alive,

572

he'd be floating out at sea.

573

Scared, exhausted, hungry.

574

How long do you think he'll last?

575

Only we have the resources to look for him,

576

if I command it.

577

If not,

578

your husband will probably die.

579

Come here.

580

Over here.

581

What's it going to be?

582

There we go.

583

That's what I like.

584

Right here.

585

The lieutenant promised to help Nerisa

586

and will have his people search for Obet.

587

But even before we got off the boat,

588

rumours have begun to reach the island about what happened inside that office.

589

Some of the coast guards gossiped amongst themselves.

590

Auntie Merced let the fire spread.

591

And because of it, we experienced the cruelty of our own people.

592

Because of my friendship with Nerisa and Joni,

593

Aunt Segunda and Uncle Badong treated me even worse than they did before.

594

They looked down on us, on me…

595

they considered me no better than them.

596

Baseless accusations and imagined stories.

597

But through all this hardship,

598

fate made our friendship stronger.

599

Give my regards to Hilda.

600

Why are people the way they are, Michael?

601

Why are they so quick to judge me?

602

What did I do wrong?

603

I don't believe in what they're saying anyway.

604

All I know is you're helping out Nerisa.

605

And you're not the girl everyone thinks you are.

606

What's Manila like, Michael?

607

Manila?

608

There are a lot cars, concrete buildings, it's big but it's crowded.

609

I want to see it for myself, too.

610

Why?

611

Aren't you happy here?

612

I want to find my mother.

613

Big bro Obet!

614

Obet is alive, the sea brought him back to us.

615

Our prayers have been heard…

616

Nerisa's wish has been granted.

617

Good morning, pals and neighbors.

618

This is old man Johnny Manzano of DZKK at your service!

619

This morning, we'll discuss another hot topic.

620

This project that's getting all hyped up

621

The lieutenant told me to give this back.

622

A project we're pouring hundreds of millions,

623

all for the sake of progress.

624

Let's find out whose progress and interests it's really pushing forward.

625

My neighbors, we are all for progress.

626

But I think you're aware of our long-standing issue with reclamation.

627

You've seen examples of its effects everywhere.

628

Nevermind the long-term effects with climate change.

629

Do you remember- I gave you this?

630

Don't ever give it to anybody else.

631

And never let anyone else touch it.

632

I only asked for his help.

633

Help?

634

What's the matter?

635

You are mine alone, Nerisa.

636

You're still listening to DZXL Express

637

This is Ronnie Ramos and Demos Sosa.

638

Next week we are going to witness what's called a "Super Blood Moon"

639

or a "Total Lunar Eclipse".

640

You've heard of this, partner. It's the astronomical phenomenon

641

wherein the moon moves into the Earth's shadow.

642

But it won't be black. The moon will turn a reddish color.

643

Two pieces, okay. Put two in each pack.

644

Take some from this bunch.

645

It's an exciting event we should all watch out for, dear listeners.

646

- That sounds amazing, my friend. - Yes it does, my friend.

647

And did you know that back in the old days,

648

a blood moon was considered an evil foreboding?

649

Bad omen. But of course it's already 2021, and we think differently.

650

Once again, this is Ronnie Ramos and Demos Sosa.

651

Let's go back to our earlier discussion pertaining to the West Philippine Sea.

652

Yes, let's go back to that… goddamnit!

653

You're about to lose your temper again.

654

Our fishermen are helpless because they're encroaching on our territory.

655

We're being driven out of our own seas.

656

Oh! A balding horse! What the heck!

657

Badong, for Christ's sake!

658

You keep breaking our radios!

659

Just switch it off!

660

Damn Chinese.

661

He listens to the radio and throws it when he gets pissed off.

662

You think you're rich or something?

663

We're good.

664

Here's what I owe you.

665

No, it's okay.

666

Ah, so this is where the sluts hang out.

667

You said it.

668

There's the other one. Young blood!

669

Shouldn't young men go for untouched young ladies?

670

Oh dear.

671

What can I say, since she started hanging out with the whore and the mermaid,

672

she got converted.

673

Right you are. My god.

674

You know what, I think you just miss your husbands.

675

What did she say?

676

Huh? Did you say something?

677

What did you say?

678

I said,

679

too bad 'cause your husbands were among my horniest customers.

680

If you have time,

681

we can sit down if you like.

682

Cunt to cunt.

683

You crazy bitch!

684

Slut!

685

Wait! Stop!

686

Please wait!

687

Don't. Let them be.

688

Big sis! What's going on!

689

How dare you!

690

Big sis! Stop this!

691

Stop it!

692

Let's go, Merced.

693

Don't go down to her level, let's go.

694

Please, stop this!

695

Madwoman!

696

You're nothing but a whore!

697

- Ignore her! - You're crazy!

698

You're a whore!

699

I'm a whore, so what! You're just jealous!

700

You're a whore!

701

Green-eyed bitch! You're just jealous!

702

Come on! Let's go!

703

You're just jealous!

704

Whore!

705

How dare her!

706

I hate her.

707

I'm ready to go with you to Manila.

708

I have some money saved up.

709

We can use it while we're looking for your mother.

710

Are you sure?

711

What about your family here?

712

We can always go back here, right?

713

This island's not going anywhere.

714

Just tell me when you want to go.

715

Is that it?

716

Yes, why?

717

Is it supposed to be that quick?

718

Yeah.

719

Hey wait!

720

This should have been the happiest moment in Nerisa and Obet's lives,

721

but it will be replaced by anger and bitterness.

722

Because on this island, no secret remains hidden,

723

all secrets unravel in time.

724

There are no stories that don't get dredged up.

725

Nerisa.

726

Is it true?

727

Is it?

728

I'm talking to you. Is it true?

729

Huh?

730

Is that how it happened?

731

Answer me! Is it true?!

732

Huh?

733

I only did it for you.

734

For me-

735

Damn it!

736

Damn it!

737

What the hell!

738

Son of a bitch!

739

Damn it!

740

Damn it!

741

Obet?

742

Obet…

743

Damn it!

744

You're a whore!

745

You're a dirty woman, Screw you!

746

Whore!

747

You're a whore!

748

Whore!

749

Whore!

750

Whore!

751

You're a whore!

752

You're a whore!

753

Damn it!

754

Many of our listeners will relate to this.

755

I'm sure you sometimes feel a certain loneliness.

756

A tinge of uncertainty creeps in about someone we love.

757

It's a natural thing.

758

Even couples who are together experience this.

759

If we think about it, nothing in life is certain.

760

All we can do is to cherish and hold on to what we have now.

761

Here it is.

762

Obet, your wife's coming.

763

Ignore her.

764

I've got just the thing for that, bro.

765

Here.

766

What are you doing here?

767

You've been drunk for days.

768

Let's go home.

769

Go home.

770

Obet, if there's something we need to talk about-

771

What do we need to talk about?

772

Huh?

773

What?

774

Bro, your shot.

775

Cheers!

776

Folks on this island-

777

they've always stayed the same.

778

Pour me another one.

779

Who they are now is what they've always been.

780

Cowards.

781

They're afraid to face up to their weaknesses.

782

Like my husband.

783

Exactly.

784

He failed to see the sacrifice you made for him.

785

It's funny how he'd rather focus on his wounded male ego than understand.

786

How could you call that love?

787

Where is love in that?

788

This is why I never got married.

789

I don't want to get my hopes up.

790

I don't want to get chained up with men like that.

791

Women are not fish to be encircled and trapped in their nets,

792

our gills removed,

793

grilled, and served with drinks.

794

Wait here.

795

Nerisa!

796

Prepare some snacks for us! The captain's here!

797

Hurry up!

798

Captain!

799

Here we are, hey!

800

What are you doing? Come in.

801

Obet!

802

Yeah?

803

Looks like you had a headstart!

804

Yes, I don't know what time we started.

805

We started this morning, captain.

806

What? Morning? That explains how you look.

807

You look like you need of sleep.

808

Do I look wasted? Nah, I can still drink some.

809

You'll be crawling back home at this rate.

810

Give the bottle to me.

811

I can still drink, captain.

812

Domeng can hold his liquor.

813

Glasses.

814

The glasses!

815

My favorite coconut wine!

816

Hurry up with the snacks.

817

I'm starving!

818

Obet, thank you.

819

Obet,

820

I'm here because I want to join the celebration for your return!

821

I'm glad you made it out alive.

822

Right on!

823

My wife doesn't know that I'm here.

824

I'll be in trouble!

825

I told her, "I won't drink. I promise!"

826

"I really won't!"

827

Captain, promise me this.

828

We'll always stick together, okay?

829

Of course! That's why I'm here!

830

So, we all know we're all married now, correct?

831

Ah, captain.

832

Yeah.

833

I wanted to ask you,

834

how many children do you have?

835

Three!

836

Three?

837

I'm serious. I have three.

838

You're weak!

839

You only have three children?

840

Wait, wait. Obet here doesn't even have a kid yet.

841

Weak!

842

Better get a move on, Obet. Somebody might cut in line!

843

Why? What is it?

844

Bro, relax!

845

I thought you were--

846

Wine should go straight to your belly, not in your head!

847

Jeremy!

848

I'm out.

849

Jeremy! Please watch what you say.

850

Things like that don't belong to the drinking table.

851

Am I right?

852

I apologize for that, Obet.

853

Cheers.

854

Let's keep drinking.

855

Hey, hey, I'll do it.

856

Domeng can hold his liquor.

857

Let's pour him a drink. A high shot. There we go.

858

Fill him up. Make sure he can still walk home.

859

This is for you, captain.

860

Thank you.

861

For me.

862

And of course, here it comes…

863

Here it is.

864

That looks delicious. Smells good.

865

Feast on that.

866

Looks special.

867

It's good.

868

Okay, let's have a taste.

869

I can smell how good it is.

870

It's good! Tastes good.

871

It's cooked well.

872

Right on time.

873

Walking all the way from the other barrio got my tummy rumbling.

874

I thought you were hungry? Come on, dig in!

875

Go ahead.

876

Jeremy, let me ask you a question.

877

How did you get your name?

878

My name?

879

Mm.

880

No, you see, my father's from a different country.

881

Foreigner.

882

My mother's from here.

883

My mother said, we should name him Jeremy.

884

Do you follow?

885

It was supposed to be, "Jerry",

886

but I wasn't much of an English speaker so I said,

887

"Jerry? Me? Jere-me!"

888

Great stuff!

889

That's a good one!

890

Jerry.

891

Jerry! Jerry!

892

Me!

893

Me!

894

What about you, Captain, where'd you get your name?

895

Well, milk fish!

896

The story goes, when my mother was pregnant with me,

897

she craved for nothing but… milk fish (hito)!

898

But when she saw me, she said,

899

Heavy breathing,

900

"Hito! Ito!" (This is a milk fish!)

901

I was called "Ito" from then on.

902

I have the same color, too.

903

A toast for the safe return of our friend Obet!

904

And for our fishing mates,

905

Erning and Boying.

906

Erning, Boying.

907

Erning, Boying, this is for you!

908

That's okay, Domeng.

909

Back to your face.

910

I'm fine.

911

Let's talk about your face.

912

I remember Boying with a penis this small!

913

He did grow some… a little bit!

914

Boying, forgive us, Boying!

915

Rest in peace.

916

This is for you.

917

Old man Erning!

918

I hope you're both in heaven.

919

The captain and I used to drink with them too.

920

Cheers!

921

Let's have another toast!

922

Captain, are you still good?

923

Obet!

924

Can you keep up?

925

When haven't I?

926

I'm only getting started.

927

I'm pouring the drink high.

928

Many thanks to you, Jeremy!

929

For old man Erning! And for Boying!

930

This one's for me.

931

Jeremy!

932

Wait, do you know where I got my name from?

933

Where?

934

Domeng-su!

935

Was he your mother's favorite? She loved that show?

936

Yes, that's me, Dao Ming Su.

937

Dao Ming Su was my mother's favorite.

938

That's why I'm called Domeng.

939

Obet!

940

Obet!

941

Obet!

942

Be quiet!

943

Hurry up! Hurry!

944

Obet!

945

This won't take long.

946

I'm coming!

947

Your turn.

948

Nerisa!

949

Nerisa! Don't!

950

Nerisa! Don't!

951

Help! Help!

952

Nerisa! Please!

953

Help!

954

Nerisa! Stop!

955

Obet!

956

Obet!

957

Son!

958

Jeez, these kids, leaving their lanterns on--

959

Obet!

960

Obet!

961

Obet, son?

962

Jesus Christ!

963

Obet!

964

Obet!

965

My son! Obet! Where are you?!

966

Oh god!

967

Obet! My son!

968

Obet…

969

Nerisa?

970

You killed Obet! You wicked woman!

971

You're a monster!

972

Obet!

973

Obet, my son!

974

You're a wicked woman!

975

Monster! Murderer!

976

Badong!

977

Badong!

978

Badong!

979

What? What happened?

980

Badong!

981

Badong! Something happened to Obet!

982

Calm down.

983

It's Obet!

984

What happened?

985

What?!

986

- It's Obet, Badong! - What happened to him?

987

Obet… he's dead!

988

What?!

989

Did I hear you right?

990

Who was it? Who killed him?

991

Obet was killed…

992

Where are they?

993

…by Nerisa!

994

Nerisa murdered Obet!

995

Hey! Run to Ito. Tell him Obet's been murdered!

996

Go quickly!

997

Yes, sir!

998

I'm going with them!

999

Segunda! Wait!

1000

Segunda!

1001

Hey!

1002

Joni!

1003

Joni!

1004

Nerisa!

1005

Nerisa, what happened to you?

1006

What happened to you? What's with all this blood?

1007

What happened to you?!

1008

I killed Obet!

1009

You killed him?

1010

Why-?

1011

Why, what happened?

1012

Wait! Wait there! You need to-

1013

Get changed upstairs! Hurry!

1014

Be quick, Nerisa!

1015

Hurry!

1016

Hurry up!

1017

Obet's dead!

1018

He was killed by that wicked woman, Nerisa!

1019

What?! Someone died!

1020

- Obet's dead! - Who died?!

1021

I knew that woman was trouble!

1022

She's a pest! A monster!

1023

Ito, where the hell are you?!

1024

Ito!

1025

We need to find that wretched woman!

1026

Ito!

1027

Maria Isabel, where's your husband?

1028

Well, he hasn't been back home since last night.

1029

What is happening?

1030

It's Nerisa…

1031

She killed Obet and Domeng.

1032

Oh god…

1033

Where is Nerisa?

1034

She was at the beach. I don't know if she's still there.

1035

What? Let's go find her!

1036

Come on.

1037

Gabriel!

1038

Miss Segunda! What's wrong?

1039

Have you seen Ito?

1040

No, I haven't. Why?

1041

Nerisa murdered Obet!

1042

- What?! - And Domeng, too.

1043

I saw Nerisa at Joni's!

1044

Come on, let's go find her!

1045

Nerisa, tell me everything that happened.

1046

I killed Obet!

1047

Why?! Why did you kill him?

1048

He let Domeng, Jeremy, and Captain Ito rape me!

1049

How can I help you?

1050

Here they come!

1051

Nerisa! Come with me!

1052

Get back here!

1053

- Nerisa! - You're the devil!

1054

Get back here!

1055

Nerisa!

1056

Hey! Nerisa!

1057

Quickly!

1058

You shameless wench!

1059

Come here!

1060

Murderer! Monster!

1061

Come here, Nerisa!

1062

Nerisa!

1063

Quickly! Go after her!

1064

Nerisa!

1065

Hurry!

1066

Run faster, Nerisa!

1067

Nerisa!

1068

You're a monster!

1069

Hurry! Hurry!

1070

Nerisa!

1071

You monster! Die, Nerisa!

1072

Get back here!

1073

You're a monster!

1074

Die, monster!

1075

Die, monster!

1076

Monster! Die!

1077

Nerisa, come back here!

1078

Nerisa!

1079

Come back here!

1080

Nobody knows where Nerisa disappeared to.

1081

Like her arrival, her leaving was just as mysterious.

1082

Some say they did catch her in the end.

1083

Some say she's over at the other island and took on a new name.

1084

Maybe she'll bring the same ill luck there, too.

1085

The others say she got killed while trying to get away.

1086

As for me, I know what happened to her.

1087

She went back to her real home, underwater.

1088

Her own people finally found her,

1089

and she has found herself.

1090

I think I understand now what the sea is trying to say.
