Please, my lord, let no harm come to me. Give me some streng--

Hey, quit that now. Come and help me here!

Hey!

Motherfuckers!

When I get out of here, I'm gonna kill all of you.

What do you bastards want with me?

Let me out of here, you assholes!

Come on! What is it you want?

Motherfuckers.

Let me go. Will you get your hands off me?

Dear lord, let no harm come to me here.

I beseech you...

Where are you taking me? You motherfuckers, let me go!

Let me go, you bastards! Oh my god...

Come on. Aren't you coming?

No!

Somebody help me!

Hey!

Help me!

BALARAW: BLOOD ISLAND

Ma?

We have to leave now, okay?

Oh. Why so soon?

This is your first ever job.

You... You can't afford to be late.

I don't start until the afternoon.

First, we'll eat.

Let's go.

Hey, I thought you quit that.

Ma.

Are you still dreaming about the island?

Mmm.

Why?

That man in the photograph...

Does he still appear to you at night in your dreams?

Yes, he does.

He's always being chased by someone,

but the dream always ends just before he's caught.

Is this the man running?

Ma, why do you keep asking? Who is he anyway?

And you've never told me

the reason I keep having these dreams that bother you.

Don't they bother you?

Ma, this is my first day at work.

Can you not stress me out like this?

I know you can look after yourself.

Ma, why are you...

You should answer.

Eventually, you'll understand.

Babe, I need your help. Arturo is nagging at me again.

Can you get your mom to have a talk with him?

He'll believe her if she says I'm clean.

It's not that easy.

Mom's kind of stressed out right now.

Huh? Is she okay or what?

You know how she gets.

You just lie low for now. I'll have a talk with him.

Okay. Thank you.

Hello. Shall I bring the bill?

Yes, it was very nice. Thank you.

Pardon me. Did you see where the woman I was with went?

I think she went for a smoke.

We're monitoring the ongoing situation here...

...as locals prepare to evacuate,

following flooding and the ensuing landslides.

Reporting live from the town of Mariano.

Back to Ero Francisco in the studio now. Ero?

The typhoon hit the town of Mariano late last night.

Officials estimate the storm has affected the livelihoods

of at least 60 fishing families in the local villages.

At this point, the situation remains critical.

Local fishing boats are remaining in port

due to this seemingly never-ending downpour.

This is Ero Francisco reporting. Back to you, Ali.

Coordination is ongoing throughout Metro Manila...

...and authorities are currently monitoring the ongoing flood situation

and are preparing to evacuate residents if the situation worsens.

Sabina?

Reporting to you live on this developing crisis...

Babe?

...which has struck the fishing village of Mariano.

Babe.

Babe, are you okay? What happened?

Nothing. I just couldn't sleep.

You stayed up watching the CCTV video, didn't you?

There could be something I didn't see.

If you want, I can watch it again.

Even though I've seen it dozens of times. It might help. Who knows?

Thank you.

Mmm.

I think we shouldn't waste any more money on private investigators.

We've spent so much already.

And none of them have found out anything that's helpful.

Babe, it's been four years now.

Maybe now is the time for you to rest.

Take a break.

Get away from it all. It could be a really good reset for you.

If you like, we can take a vacation.

After all, we've been planning to do that.

Haven't you forgotten that I was fired from my job?

We don't have any money left.

I will help. I have savings.

It scares me that if you don't get some rest,

I will lose you forever.

I can't stop. It's too hard.

All I know is...

I need to find my mom.

I know. We're going to find her together.

That's her. She's the one who hit the doctor.

- Why did she hit him? - Who knows? Just crazy.

I'm here to pick up my salary.

- Your name? - Tejeros.

Tejeros?

Oh, you're the... the nurse who hit Dr. Gomez.

I want to pick up my last pay.

Sign here.

Thank you.

I'll pray for you.

I hope you get through whatever it is that you're going through.

I have this for you, but first, give me the 5,000 you owe.

What have you got?

You should trust me on this.

This is going to help you.

- Oh, yeah, sure. - This is a hopeless case.

You should just be glad that it's not more.

- This wasn't easy to get. - So what is it?

It's a video of where your mother went.

I know you're not looking for my advice, but...

I don't think you should trust the police handling this stuff one little bit.

Why?

The person who gave me this said

three years ago, a police officer took all the CCTV.

And he paid to ensure that nobody else ever gets a copy.

- It was Arturo. - Yeah.

I give up thinking you'll ever see your mother again.

Because she's lost her mind. You can even see that on this video.

Fuck you!

If this isn't what you say it is, I'll be back for you.

Uncle!

- Uncle! - Yeah?

- Uncle! - Yeah.

Finally.

It's almost ten o'clock.

I fell asleep.

I need to show you something.

Have you eaten dinner yet?

This was taken in Bicol the day Ma disappeared.

You've seen this before.

No! You answer me.

I told you before,

you're wasting your time on those shady private investigators.

If I didn't, I wouldn't have found out what you've been hiding.

Why didn't you tell me about this?

Sabina,

it's all a waste of your time.

She doesn't want you to find her.

So we just give up on her?

What?

Sabina?

Give me that!

- No! Give it back to me! - Sabina!

You might be through looking for her, but I'm not!

That's enough. Stop.

What else is it that you're hiding from me?

She doesn't want you to look for her.

If she wanted that, she would have told you.

It was her decision to leave. To leave you.

You should learn to accept that.

I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to follow after her.

I did it to protect you.

Well, thanks a lot.

Are you still dreaming about the island?

Sabina.

Damn it.

Sabina, pick up.

All aboard for Naga. All aboard!

Bus for Naga now leaving. All aboard!

All passengers traveling to Naga, bus now leaving!

UNCLE ART

- Wait! Please, wait! - Hold on. Where's your ticket?

- I have money. - Okay, okay. There you go.

Sorry, sorry. Excuse me. Sorry.

Excuse me. Excuse me. I'm with her.

Thank you.

Hey, what are you doing here?

What? You thought you could leave without me?

Bulak, I'm serious.

Yeah, I'm serious too.

Only problem is I didn't get a chance to pack.

Good thing we're the same size.

We don't know what we're really gonna find there.

What if Mom went someplace dangerous?

That's why you'll need me.

- Hey, you need to listen to-- - Just relax.

It's okay. Chill.

Thank you.

- 30,000. - Babe, that's too much.

You don't know about Babang Yawa, do you?

Where'd you get that information?

The Internet?

All right then, 50.

- Fifty? - Hey, babe.

There are three of us here, you know,

and another thing, there is no island there in Babang Yawa.

If that's where your mother went,

then you'll never see her again.

Come on, babe. There's nothing that we can do now.

You know how to swim, right?

Stupid, I know.

But I'm desperate.

Yeah, well, swimming doesn't make much sense.

They say even airplanes have disappeared there.

You believe that?

Well, I guess they do, or there'd be someone to take us.

Hey, let's just dance and eat. Here.

I'm running out of ideas right now.

There is another option.

We leave.

You can go. I'm staying.

Oh, fuck you.

I'd be a real loser if I just leave you.

Agreed.

So, do you want me to go home because you're tired of me?

It's impossible for me to be tired of you.

Come on, eat.

Here.

Come on.

You can't swim if you're hungry.

- Hey, you two. - Sarge!

You're not really planning to swim there?

You know, I may look disorganized,

but I do know when something goes missing from my stuff.

Huh?

What's up with her?

You seriously don't know?

No doubt she's really mad at you.

I'd be mad at you too.

Whatever information I hid from her, it was for her own good, you know?

You still hid it.

Now that she knows where her mother might be, what now?

I want to know her plans.

Swimming.

Hey!

Looking for a boat?

Can that take me to Babang Yawa?

Not this one. There, that one.

How much?

30,000, round trip.

Ah, you offered Mando 50,000.

Okay, 50,000.

50,000 one way.

No deal. Good luck.

Wait!

Hey, wait a minute.

Sabina. Sabina.

I'll take care of this.

Sir.

Let's talk about how we might go about this.

It's settled.

Round trip, 30,000.

Everything you now know, Sabina, that's all I know too.

But I had to steal from you to find out what it was that you knew.

That's the thing.

You and Mom are both alike.

You still both think I'm a child.

I think that you're exactly like your mother.

If you'd known everything, nothing would have stopped you.

You're stubborn, just like her.

Except you're more careless.

More impatient.

Planning to swim to Babang Yawa?

You don't understand anything.

Oh, yeah? Then explain it to me, huh?

I've always had dreams about this island.

I told my mom about it once.

Then something started troubling her, making her kind of crazy.

- You should have told me about this. - And then what?

It seems you disappeared too, Uncle Art, same time as Mom.

I understand why it's scary, and I know why you kept me in the dark.

I don't need you to apologize or anything.

I'm actually way past that, but I'm still pissed at you.

Bulak.

Babe.

Here.

Are you okay?

Yeah, okay.

You should check on Uncle Art. Who knows how he's handling this?

Okay, we're here.

Where is here?

Babang Yawa. That's what we agreed.

This is Babang Yawa?

- What were you expecting? - An island.

Don't make fun of us, man.

- This is the middle of the ocean. - This is it.

If you don't want to believe it, then there's nothing I can do.

This is as far as I can take you.

Just take us back to the pier right now.

30,000.

Listen, I already gave you the money.

That was one way. The return trip is another 30.

Fuck you, dude! What sort of game is this?

If we don't give it to you, then how are you planning to return?

I know she's got more money. Hey! Don't you touch me.

You think I'm scared of you?

You think I can't handle you 'cause you're a cop?

If I was gonna behave like a cop, I'd pull this out.

Ah, yeah, give it to me.

- Sarge. Sarge, Sarge! - Uncle!

Uncle! Uncle!

No!

Don't... Sarge!

Stop, stop, stop!

Be careful, be careful!

Sabina, stay back!

Sabina!

Babe, are you okay?

Bulak! Bulak!

Bulak!

- Bulak! - Sarge!

- Stop struggling. - Bulak!

- Sarge. - Stop it! You hear?

- You're a filthy cheating scoundrel! - Stop! You're gonna kill him.

What?

Babang Yawa. There, there.
