Original subtitles

You question your older brother's judgment. Why are you being so hard

-headed? This could change everything for us.

We made an agreement.

The Castros do not go back on their word. Our word to who? The Romeros?

Those pigs?

You think they wouldn't do the same to us if they had this opportunity?

My decision is final.

You're a fool!

Our integrity is far more important than any business opportunity.

And if I decide to do it anyway...

Then I will be forced to stop you.

My name is Alex Walker.

I'm ex-DEA.

One of my first assignments took me to an isolated beach right here on this

island. Sold what little I had and bought myself a gift shop.

Just peace, no stress, no drama.

Boy, was I wrong.

She's beautiful.

She's sexy, you know, but classy.

She's got charm. She's got a great personality.

And for me, you know what's love at first sight?

What do you think?

I think you should have called me before you got her.

What are you talking about?

Look, a boat like this is going to take forever to fix, right?

You've never even owned a boat before. Come on, she's perfect, man. She's

got... Her hull was just scraped. She's got a brand new bilge pump. She's got no

salt deposits on her water jackets or her cylinders or her heads.

Do you know what any of that means?

No, but the guy with the boat said it was great.

All right, well, let's have a look. Be my guest.

She's great, yes?

She's great. No.

There's a ton of corrosion happening here, and you don't want premature

impeller failure. Well, I'm too young for premature impeller failure. I was

talking about the boat. I know. Ramon, I was joking. Listen to me. I need you to

keep me in business, okay?

The only way I can make payments is if I book charters and fishing trips. I need

you to help me with this boat. That's a lot of responsibility, man. Everybody

says you're the best mechanic on the island, all right? You can fix anything.

There's a ton to fix here. Look, she's running fine now, right?

Look, when problems start, just give me a call, okay?

You like the boat, though, right?

I mean, huh?

I was thinking.

It's a boy, Angelo.

It's a girl, Angela.

And you know.

Oh, come on, it's cute.

We're not having anything.

Not until we're married, and that's not happening.

So long as... All right, all right, all right, all right. We're not having

anything.

But we could keep practicing.

You have to go.

I don't even know why I agreed to meet you here on our side.

Oh, on your side.

Wow.

No one owns...

The beach. That's not what my family thinks.

Well, as my great, great, great, great grandfather used to say,

no Romero's afraid of any Castro.

Ramon.

What? Run, run.

No, please stop.

I got him Why

are

you doing this?

I told you to stay away from him, Romero.

Take her home.

No, Dad, please. I'm begging you. Please don't hurt him. He's a good man.

Please, Ramon.

Mr. Castro, please.

I love your daughter.

Ramon, please. Let me go. Let me go.

Hold him up.

You stay away from her!

I'm gonna kill all of you!

All right, Rita.

If you run into any problems, I will be on my boat.

And why would I run into any problems? I said if.

Okay, just be back by four, because it was hard to get the tickets.

Tickets for what?

Tickets for the movie everyone wanted to see.

Oh, right, right, right, right, right. Pepperfish Tales.

You're only a little old for stuff like that. It's the sequel.

But the first one's actually my all-time favorite video. So don't be late.

I'm not gonna be late.

Maybe you'll find one for me.

Find you what?

A pepperfish angelfish.

They're native in the Philippines.

All right, one deep-fried pepperfish sandwich coming up.

You're disgusting.

so so

Come back, honey.

All right, beautiful.

Take me somewhere special.

This is a Marine Assistance Request Broadcast. I repeat, a Marine Assisted

Request Broadcast.

My location is... Alex, is that you?

Ramon?

That's affirmative.

We're going to need a tow in.

Thanks, man.

What happened to your arm?

Huh? What happened to your face?

Nothing, man.

You should have seen the other guy.

Was the other guy Manny Pacquiao?

Let's, uh, have a look at your engine, yeah?

Well, as predicted, your cooling pump blew up.

So you're saying premature impeller failure?

Yeah. You may have asked a little too much from her.

We were doing so great.

It's not that simple.

A lot of these parts, they don't even make anymore.

I have to cannibalize them from a 1978 model.

All right, great. Yeah.

Let's do it.

First, I'm going to need a 1978 model.

Brutal.

Blunt force trauma, not just to the head.

Someone was angry.

Yeah.

Some of these individuals are related to this guy.

They're accusing another family of being behind the killing.

What is it about fishing villages and blood feuds?

And why does it always result in the death of someone like Miguel Castro?

This type of pump usually shows up on eBay every few weeks.

Weeks? No, I can't be without it for weeks.

I'm gonna go broke.

The other option is I could...

You know, machines, some new parts, Frankenstein, a new pump. Yeah,

Frankenstein. Wolfman, the radiator.

You know, Dracula, the driveshafts. I don't... You're

joking again, right?

A little.

How long is it going to take you to fix her?

Well, let me get started and see how far I get.

I should be able to give you an estimate after that.

All right.

You're just gonna stand there, watch?

I like boat stuff.

Okay, well, grab a beer, relax.

This might take a while.

Tell me you didn't do it. Do what?

Tell me. Tell you what? What are you talking about?

My father is dead.

Someone killed him.

I'm so sorry. Did you?

Did you do it?

Did I? No. I was knocked unconscious after they'd beaten me so badly.

My brothers got me off the beach.

I was with my family the whole night.

You have to go.

They think you did it and they're coming to get you. You have to go.

Ramon, please.

to the back don't take the pump take the pump we know you're in there

listen to me run silent and run deep who's this it's okay

he's fixing my boat come on we know you're in there

it's all right out

of my way

on guys just take it easy wait just breathe with me for a little bit okay

breathe with me on three all right ready one two

this ain't the problem man

everybody out

That's him! There's been a huge mistake, okay? My boat broke down.

Alex? Yeah, yeah.

Alex.

What are you doing here? I thought you were out cruising the Lucerne Reef on

your new obsession.

I had a minor problem with the boat. Guys, guys, you don't have to take him,

sir. He's a suspect in a murder. He's supposed to fix my cooling pump.

I think you guys are being too hasty on this. We have witnesses who saw him

threat to kill the victim last night. There was a fight.

You guys know my instincts.

I'm telling you, you got the wrong guy.

He's got alibis, he's got witnesses. He was with his family. Alex, we'll look

into it, okay? But family ties run deep. Chances are they'll back him up whether

his story is true or not.

Found this in the tool shed, boss.

And also this one.

Inscribed to the victim.

You take this in for processing.

Thank you.

What about bail? How about bail?

So as long as this guy gets your boat going again, you're okay with him being

booked on a murder rap? Of course not.

He's innocent, okay? But let me tell you something. I got a bachelorette party at

sunset next Thursday.

Sorry, Alex.

You're gonna have to find another boat mechanic.

Boy, do you need a ride back to the paradise, Alex? No, thank you.

I'm not leaving her here alone.

He means the boat.

too many police here now.

That I agree, man. I'm meeting up with an Aussie who says he can definitely get

me to Hong Kong on his high-speed boat. Why can't we get some of the local

people to help?

No. No one in this village can know anything or I'm a dead man.

The big ship is now halfway between here and Hong Kong.

Can the speedboat make two more trips between now and tomorrow night?

Yeah, there's no problem with auxiliary tanks.

We just need a little time to refuel. But I hope you're going to pay us our

money by tomorrow.

That's the deal.

Good.

Let's go.

We are going on the working theory that Ramon Romero committed the murder as

retaliation for a beating on the orders of Miguel Castro.

Correct? That's right, Chief. It appears to be part of a long-standing feud

between the two families.

And forensics? The murder weapon appears to belong to the suspect and bears his

prints, but... There seems to be at least one set of unidentified prints.

And what about that alibi? He claims to be with his family members continuously

between the time of the beating and this morning.

And no witnesses outside the family?

Negative on that, Chief.

Look into the alibi. Get witness statements on the beating of Romero.

The regional prosecutor needs background on this feud, okay?

Copy that, Chief.

Let's divide and conquer.

I'll get witness statements.

And I'll dig into the few.

Look, it's Captain Ahab. Where are you guys going?

We're going back to the village to get statements.

I need to speak with Ramon.

Are you his attorney?

Could be vital to the case.

Huh. What's with the backpack?

Nothing. My boat pump.

Seriously? What?

You're bringing a file to a guy in a jail cell with bars?

Look, I need him to help show me how to modify a gasket for a 1978 pump.

All right, Alex, you have five minutes. But if the chief sees you, just tell him

you're actually helping us with a case.

I'm on it. Thank you. Also, I'm gonna need a ride back. Of course.

Why don't you be honest with me?

Are you telling me that I can't fix this on my own?

You could.

What?

You probably want to make sure that the fire extinguisher is ready.

It's the luck I'm having, you know?

I guess we're both having some bad luck.

Well, I think you should just wait until I'm out of here.

I'll have you going in no time.

Well, that's the problem.

They think you did it.

You may not be getting down here anytime soon.

I have an alibi.

Would your family lie for you?

No, they wouldn't.

Okay, yeah, maybe they would, but they're not.

All right, well, what about the wrench? What about the watch?

The wrench is mine. I have no idea how it got there. Or the watch.

Look, someone is doing this to me, okay? I swear on Julia's life,

I did not kill Miguel Castro.

Nobody wants you out of here quicker than I do. So, you can help me.

Well, I don't really interfere with police business that often,

but... What can you tell me about Emilio Castro?

I saw him talking to some Rastafarian guy about something that no one in the

village could find out about. That doesn't exactly make him a murderer,

Alex. He beat up Romero, okay? He came at me with a broken bottle. That's

psychotic. Well, look into it.

Okay, but we're working on a theory that it's an escalation of this family feud.

Here's the problem with working theories, all right? You only see the

facts that fit the Warren Commission.

Hello? I said we'll look into it.

And the Cuban connection.

CIA involvement.

The New Orleans Mafia. That's not funny. All right, there's a man sitting in

jail. Who can fix your boat?

Exactly. Huh? Thank you.

Hey, you guys, I might need to ride back a little bit. Huh? Forget it. Forget it.

Idiot. Hey, chill, mate. Get on board. Relax.

Get on board.

Hey, let's go, let's go, let's go.

Hey.

Check this out.

What's going on then, boy?

Well, what?

I was just doing a little sightseeing.

This is Romero's friend.

The one from the shop.

Tried to cut up Uncle Emilio with a broken body.

That's not how. Who tried to cut up on who?

If you're a friend of any Romero, you're on the wrong side of the beach, man.

There's a right side and a wrong side of the beach?

You see, the dock is neutral territory.

That side of the beach is Romero's. And this side?

This side's Castro.

And we are the border patrols.

All right, listen, guys, calm down, calm down, okay? I don't want any trouble,

guys. I don't want any trouble.

We're not going to kill you.

You'd wish we did.

What's the Filipino term for underestimating an opponent?

This isn't over, boy!

Tell your parents we're coming for you. Let's go, let's go, let's go!

He was my father. You don't think I'm upset?

Then how can you still support the man who... killed him.

They're all the same.

Those Romeros.

Evil. Evil, I tell you. They're not all evil.

They're just like us, filled with hatred over something no one even remembers.

And our men are roaming the village looking for revenge.

How many have to die before this all ends?

Julia Castro?

Did you witness the actual beating?

Well, my cousins were dragging me away, but I looked back. My father walked away

and left it with Uncle Emilio.

Isn't your father the leader of the family?

He was a natural leader, but there are some things that Uncle Emilio does

better, like beat people up.

You'd have to live here to understand. There is a history.

In each family, they have their territories.

And if they get in trouble, they'd be happy to have an Uncle Emilio.

I'm sorry, but you keep saying they.

It's your family.

But I don't believe in this war.

And neither did Ramon, and it was our dream to see it end.

But other witnesses reported him threatening to kill your father.

You're saying that when he was getting beat up, but he would never do something

like that.

He didn't have that kind of hate in him.

I know.

What's with all the hardware?

You don't even know what's going on here. Huh?

I need to speak to Mr. Romero.

We're all Mr. Romero.

You related to Ramon Romero?

He's my brother.

Well then, I need to talk to your father.

You arrested the wrong man, cop.

Be that as it may, I still need to talk to your father.

In this village?

You are either with the Castros...

or the romeros look kid i'm with mactan pd and i really need to have a

conversation with your father because you're wearing a gun you think you can

do whatever you want oh boy easy make it easy cool all

right weird i don't feel any different

let him buy

I want to talk to him.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

You can understand why we might not be very friendly to the police right now.

I do understand, Mr. Romero. Or that I might help you build a case against my

son. I'm just here to piece together the facts, sir. Then I will tell you the

facts, Detective Alamares.

My son was beaten. Since the time that happened until this morning, he was with

us. Mr. Romero, it's not that I don't believe you, but there are gaps in that

timeline, and there's other evidence that points to your son.

Now, that being said, I'm here to conduct a balanced, unbiased

investigation. How can you be unbiased?

You can see what's happening now.

You know, the Castros will attack every Romero they can see.

One of my boys and two nephews were jumped yesterday.

We are not the violent ones.

Mr. Romero, this battle, this feud, what started it?

Like everything in our lives, it started over fishing.

Fishing?

Back in the Spanish days, both families claimed the right to fish in the same

reef. An actual battle began.

The Battle of Bago Hill.

The clans were to meet in hand-to-hand combat.

But the Castros? They arrived with bolos and clubs.

Many people died.

If I went to the Castros and asked them, would they say those Romeros arrived

with bolos and clubs? They would say that.

But they would be lying because they are evil.

The Castros will resort to anything to harm a Romero.

William, what's the matter?

Hey.

William.

William.

His eyes are dilated. Does he have a drug problem? My William? No, yeah. He's

in the church.

I told you, it's the Castros. He's been poisoned.

Detective Alamarez, I need an ambulance to the Romero household right away.

Right now.

Okay, let me be clear here.

William Romero is in the hospital, but there is no evidence to suggest that he

suffered from any kind of poisoning other than food poisoning from tainted

fish. What are you talking about?

He was there. He saw it.

He saw what happened.

No, no.

Please. Please.

Quiet down. You need to trust us.

We had the situation under control so long as you agree to stop any

escalation. We never escalated anything to begin with. Your son killed my

brother!

He was with us all night. He's innocent.

But those idiots tried to push my other son. Wait, wait.

Ramon Romero is in custody and we continue the investigation.

But we cannot tolerate any vigilante justice.

So from now on, we are imposing a temporary curfew.

He's a Romero! Get him!

We just got a two-for-two called in on the other side of the village.

On route to 20. Copy.

It's like whack-a-mole.

Let's go.

Over there.

Over there.

Got him, Kai.

On the hood. Come on.

There's another 242 going on behind the church.

It's gonna be a long night.

Yep.

Great wall, boss.

What do you think you're gonna do with all that, man?

Get as far away from this village as possible before everyone finds out that

kid is innocent.

Down the steps.

Down the steps. That's it. Move it.

You're going to be here for at least 24 hours. Get in there.

That's it.

Ernesto!

We just got a call from the hospital. The Romero brother didn't get food

poisoning from the fish. It was cyanide.

What did you say? Sodium cyanide. How did you hear about that before me?

Hear about what?

The cyanide. I didn't hear about anything. I saw it.

A lot of it. On Emilio Castro's boat.

What were you doing on Emilio Castro's boat?

You're not listening.

Look, I followed him and his Rasta pal out to the reef, all right? They're up

to something.

Emilio said that he was a dead man if anybody from the village found out. Now,

whatever he's doing, if it's worth dying for, it may have been worth killing for

as well.

His prints are on this. If you run it through... Hey, there's some

unidentified prints in the wrench in addition to Ramon Romero's.

Check and see if there's a match with the prints on this bottleneck.

Just like that? You're not going to argue with me.

Alex, we just got word that the oldest Romero brother, William, got poisoned by

cyanide. Well, Emilio could have poisoned him.

But that doesn't explain why there's so much cyanide at the reef, or the reason

why they're meeting up with a classic smuggler's boat to go to Hong Kong.

What's the connection?

I have a good idea.

So, cyanide fishing?

For food?

No. To sell.

For aquariums. You know, it's been getting a lot harder for us to make a

living from the sea.

Been pushed to smaller and smaller fishing grounds by the Chinese.

The thing is, most valuable tropical fish are indigenous to the Philippines.

Once people heard the news, there's big money to be made, well, they started...

doing it on their own, using cyanide to stun the fish.

But cyanide didn't just stun the fish.

It bleached the corals. It eroded the reefs.

Even made some of the food fish toxic.

Agreement was made between the two families.

We only fish for food. No one's allowed to damage the reefs.

That movement was led by Miguel Castro.

Julio said that Emilio is the not-so-sharp, hot-headed brother.

Maybe Miguel found out that Emilio was cyanide fishing. And then he confronted

Emilio, and boom.

Plus, with the fight the night before, it's easy to frame Ramon. And nobody

poisoned William Romero. At least not on purpose.

He just ate some fish that got in the way of the cyanide. How much money is in

this, anyway?

Is it really worth killing someone over? Here.

The most desirable saltwater species goes for anywhere from 500 to...

$20,000.

And get this, demand is peaking due to the release of a blockbuster, Pepperfish

Tales 2.

How did you know that? It's a sequel, not the original. Pepperfish Tales 2.

Well, people have killed for much less.

We got some results from the lab.

Two of the unidentified prints of the wrench, they're matched with two on the

bottleneck. Huh.

Let's go get Emilio Castro.

Yeah.

Detectives Mendoza and Lamares. I'm putting through Officer Hernandez.

Hey, what's going on? They're all gone.

We were doing our rounds, enforcing the curfew, but it was too quiet.

He poked around.

The houses are almost all empty.

So where are they? Only one old lady was willing to talk.

She said they were off taking care of unfinished business.

Bye, Rojo.

What? It's where the feud began 150 years ago.

Right there.

What about Emilio?

This is more important. A gang fight is more important than collaring a murder

suspect? This is no gang fight. The last time this happened, 20 people died.

Then it's more important.

Hey, nearest fueling dock to the village, where is it?

Why? Because this guy in a speedboat's got to get halfway to Hong Kong.

It's on the wharf near Macallan Point, just down the beach.

All right, all right, let me out, let me out.

Let me out.

Do you want to take down Emilio or not?

Right here, right here, right here. Here, here, here. Stop.

Alex! What are you doing?

What?

Don't do anything stupid. There is an innocent man in jail, okay? And he's the

only one who knows how to fix my boat.

Be careful!

Let's go.

You said the last time they fought at sunrise.

Time's sunrise today.

20 minutes to go.

It's better before the war begins.

Hey, how are you? Hey, good. What's up?

Listen, I don't know how to say this, but you're going to need to buy your

boat.

You're going to borrow my boat?

Yeah. Well, how about I shoot you in the yabba? Oh, hey.

Hey, what then then, mate? What do you reckon?

I was kind of hoping you'd say that.

And I'll buy

these two, mate.

I'm just going to take everything from you.

Lock down police!

Everybody, freeze!

Hello!

Back up! Back up!

Back, back, back!

weapons now we have something very important to tell all of you

you

little bastards are going to make me rich

it's

about time

What took you so long? You better be able to get me to Hong Kong in this.

Is she ready to load?

Let's go, man. Let's go.

Emilio Castro is behind all of it. Why would he do that?

The murder of Miguel Castro had nothing to do with this feud between the

families. It was all to cover up Emilio's smuggling scheme.

The poisoning of William Romero had nothing to do with it either.

He just ate some mackerel that got tainted with cyanide, and possibly the

other fish too. So for now, do not eat any of it.

Until we get the all clear from the Department of Health, do you understand?

That's the last one.

I think it's time to square up. That's the deal, right?

Everybody gets paid upon delivery.

Okay.

Okay. You'll get extra 10%, huh?

I'll see you in Hong Kong. All right?

Give him a ball, mate. There you go.

Make 10. This is 3-1-Z-0.

Folks, try it.

Head and set. Move point. No 800 hours.

Roger that.

What was that?

What? Oh.

Of course they have it, mate.

I used to be a bush pilot.

I always liked to paint the chairs.

Go up there, son of a bitch!

It's out of control, though.

What's he doing?

No!

No!

I don't want him anymore. Just take him.

Oh, but...

Hey, hey, hey,

hey!

Stay back!

Back! Stay cool!

Have we learned nothing from all of this?

Okay? You guys take him.

Hey, look!

Hey,

Alex, look on the bright side.

Ramon Romero's a free man.

Now you can have your boat fixed.

the boat and in the gift shops kind of like two jobs yeah but it's just working

on the boat you know what i mean it's more like a labor of love huh for you

maybe but you know last month i worked overtime and i couldn't get

to see my movie i know and i already apologized for that i said i'm sorry i

had engine trouble in cordova you know that it's fine i've watched it like

twice since then but

I think I deserve a bonus.

Ooh, and maybe an equity position?

Yes, on the bonus. We'll talk about the equity.

Hi. Hey.

Everything looks good. Your haul is better than ever.

Boom! You're the man. You are the man. You got the man right there, huh? We're

back in business.

I mean, seriously, I gotta thank you again, Ramon.

Don't worry about it, man.

How's everything at the village? We're just hoping we don't start another feud

with the wedding plans.

Oh, uh, Julia and I wanted to ask you something.

You want me to be your best man?

Well, no.

It's going to be William, his brother, but we were hoping that you could come

to the wedding and bring your police friends to help keep things calm.

You got it. Thanks again for everything. Yes, thank you, Alex.

Oh.

And, um, no charge this time.

No, I could... Okay, okay, okay.

But... I must be living right, huh?

I'm off to pick up a charter party.

Bunch of dermatologists from Korea. Nice payday.

Great. Well, some of us have to pay the bills with real jobs.

You don't think I have a real job?

No. Now stop tying up the emergency frequency.

Bye, Alex.
