Very good, Nena.

Miss, he's asking for your name.

I don't know.

Miss, where are you from?

I don't know.

Can I ask you something?

Mother?

They're asking if the woman could stay with us.

Those damn Americans.

They're already enslaving us.

Now they want us to take care of a crazy person.

The woman seems kind enough.

So many people have gone mad from the war.

The Americans ought to put up a sanctuary.

Why did you have to learn English, Nena?

The Americans order us around here because you know their language.

Did you see the American woman the other day?

She was teaching the children. Her blouse had no sleeves!

-Good Lord! -Is that appropriate?

She has no shame.

Elder Jose!

Yes?

Father!

Please bless us.

Who is that?

She got lost.

She seems unstable.

Delia will take her in.

She has wounds.

I'll bring medicinal plants later.

Please wait for me.

-All right. Thank you. -Hey, Antonio!

It's almost curfew! Come home!

Yes, Sister!

Come in.

-Careful, it's hot. -Just let her be.

She probably hasn't eaten in days.

It's hot.

Slowly.

Where did you get that?

Ms. Warren gave me these.

We have to practice using them.

This is how civilized people eat.

That American teaches you such nonsense!

What's the use of cutlery?

All we eat is sweet potato.

Mother, Ms. Warren is kind.

-She just wants to help… -I've told you before.

Stay away from them!

Have you forgotten what they did to your father?

To your siblings?

What are you doing?

I'm thirsty.

Here.

Go back to sleep.

You cannot go outside.

It's the odd hours of the night.

The Americans will gun you down.

Your face needs a good scrub.

The dirt is stuck to your skin.

How is your mother, Emilio?

She still won't leave the house.

Opel has changed a lot since Chief Kardo was imprisoned.

Close your eyes.

It's been a year since Chief Kardo was arrested.

Why are you still forbidden to see him?

Unless, perhaps…

Never mind.

My God, this woman is truly beautiful.

Mother, perhaps she is part Spanish?

You really don't remember your name?

Sisa!

Let's call her Sisa.

Wasn't that the name of the madwoman in Dr. Jose Rizal's novel?

All we ever do is laundry.

Soon my hands will be as pale as the Americans.

Let me see.

Look at them.

That's pale?

Cedes, get real!

You're so harsh, Delia.

Have you noticed

how they always wash their hands before they eat?

Maybe they find our country filthy.

If they find it so filthy, why conquer us?

-You said it. -Where is Sisa?

Nena, where's Sisa?

She was with me a while ago.

You're daydreaming again.

I told you to watch her.

Who are you?

Get out!

-Mother? -Don't ever come back!

Mother, what happened?

Was that crazy woman bothering you?

Sisa, we've been looking for you.

We were worried about you.

-Where did you go? -I took a stroll.

What do you think this is, a park?

This town is a concentration camp.

We're outside the military base, but we're still prisoners.

They guard our every move.

Be careful.

Just chain her up at home.

Her wandering might get her into trouble.

Gloria, watch your mouth! She's not a dog.

Look. What has Harrison given her this time?

Quiet, Rita.

Probably canned goods.

That's why our rations are smaller.

No.

Something's moving inside the bag.

It's a chicken.

Damn. It's chicken, indeed.

Harrison is really smitten with her.

Such airs!

As if she'd never been married.

Let her be. She's a widow, just like us.

Maybe so.

But we're not sleeping with an American.

Even now, her soul is burning in hell.

This Artemio is clever.

The Americans caught Aguinaldo first, not him.

Quiet, Rita.

Just help with the work.

Wipe it just like this.

This keeps the ants out of the military base.

Shake your hair, insects are falling.

The roof isn't finished yet.

After this, come to the kitchen.

We'll put out rat poison.

Just like how Cedes does it. Watch.

She can take orders after all.

Sisa, why don't you finish what I'm doing?

Stop it, Cedes.

Sisa!

Don't go past there.

We're forbidden there.

Mother! Look!

They caught a huge python in the Commander's office!

Nena! Come to the kitchen and help us.

Watch how you act around the Americans.

They might think you're flirting.

I know you've been following me.

Would you like to join me for breakfast?

Have a seat.

You must be thirsty.

Here.

This bread is from Manila.

Wait.

Slow down.

You might choke.

Do you live alone?

I used to be neighbors with Delia.

Back when my husband was alive.

I moved because they're terrible gossips.

They judge everything I do.

They thought you'd maketinola with the chicken from yesterday.

How could I even cook?

As soon as I got here, Commander Harrison sent for me.

Some liquor arrived from the next town.

They started drinking.

When they got drunk, they started firing their guns.

Here.

For your gossiping friends back home.

A little treat for their wagging tongues.

What's your name?

They call me Sisa.

My name is Leonor.

I'm pleased to meet you, Sisa.

Your legs did not swell from fatigue.

You probably stepped on a dwarf.

Sisa, good thing you're back before curfew.

You just leave without telling anyone.

What's that?

Bread. From Leonor.

You met Leonor?

And she gave you bread too?

Throw that away!

Delia, don't!

We haven't had bread in ages!

It smells delicious!

Nena, Antonio, come here!

-Slow down. -Careful now.

Don't drop it.

I want some too!

Delicious.

Ms. Warren!

Listen up, everybody. Ms. Warren has something to say.

Ms. Warren plans to host a party next month.

All women are invited to attend.

They burn our town, then expect us to party.

She must be mad.

Delia, that's enough.

We are all required to attend.

They starve us, forbid us to plant rice,

fearing we'll give the harvest to the revolutionaries.

Now, they want us to party?

Crazier than Sisa, that American!

If the witch Guada were alive, I'd have her cursed!

Watch your daughter, Delia.

Nena is smart, but she's only 13.

That American is a bad influence on her.

If Harrison hadn't ordered all kids to learn English,

I would have never allowed her.

Apparently, they were caught gathering coconuts.

The revolutionaries must be starving,

forcing them out of hiding.

I hope they don't suffer.

Most captives just die in prison.

Opel!

Thank God you're feeling well enough to come out.

I still grieve what happened to Kardo.

But someone reminded me…

that I must not lose hope.

Who are you?

Ofelia, are you the wife of Chief Kardo?

-Why? -I am a member of the insurgents.

General Artemio is my brother-in-law.

Get out.

My husband got into trouble being your spy.

You should be grateful

he didn't betray your group even after he was arrested.

We recognize Chief Kardo's sacrifice.

That's why I'm here. To free him.

How?

We have long planned a major revolt for this province.

This is the first step to liberating our country from the Americans.

We are powerless against their forces!

You are talking nonsense.

Ofelia, do not lose hope.

You are the wife of a village chief.

How will the people rise up against the Americans

if they see you've lost courage?

Enough!

I don't want to listen anymore.

You might even get my son harmed.

Leave.

Get out!

Opel, this is Sisa.

She wandered into town.

This war has left her unhinged.

Yes.

We met the other day.

They say General Artemio is about to surrender.

-What? -The revolutionaries are really losing.

That's not true!

The Americans are making it up.

They're spreading fear among us.

Those Americans are full of lies.

We helped them defeat the Spaniards, believing they would liberate us.

But they just betrayed us.

Maybe that's why they're so pale.

Because they're always caught in their lies.

-Delia, Delia, Delia… -What is it?

Can Sisa come with me for a while?

I just need help hanging my laundry.

Have Sisa help you with any other chores too.

-Thank you. -Sure!

That's not true!

Oh, dear, I hope not.

Sisa, is it true?

Are the revolutionaries decided on attacking the military base?

Yes. But we have to keep an eye on the Americans.

I will pass all crucial information to the movement.

How will you do that?

We are under strict surveillance.

No one gets past the tower unchecked.

The coachman who delivers food from the next town is one of us.

I'll give him all the updates.

What can I do to help?

Talk to all the residents.

Make sure they're on our side.

We will need their help during the attack.

Sisa.

You need to know something.

Before Kardo was captured,

he'd stolen some weapons from the Americans.

And he told me the place where he hid them.

Kardo said he tied a red cloth

to the grave cross where the weapons were.

We've looked everywhere. Still nothing.

Could it have torn off?

Several storms have passed

since my husband was arrested.

We need to find them. The army could use them.

I never imagined a person like you

would be a revolutionary.

Good.

It means I'm doing something right.

I just realized I never asked your actual name.

Don't bother.

You risk more harm knowing things about me.

We might be seen. Let's meet another day.

Smith!

Smith.

Sisa!

Smith!

Sisa! He's not hurting me.

Please, don't get mad at him.

Sisa.

Mother can't find out about this.

Do you understand?

I can't tell sometimes if you're truly mad or not.

At times, you seem quite lucid.

Don't be blinded by the Americans, Nena.

You're intelligent.

Open your eyes.

Nena,

Antonio said you got to class around noon today.

Didn't you leave early? Where did you go?

Well, Mother…

Ms. Warren asked me to clean her hut.

-Then fetch her water from the well. -What did I tell you?

No good can come from helping that American woman.

She just treats you like a servant.

Gosh.

Good thing you came by, Sisa.

This will speed up my cooking.

Eddie sweet-talked me.

He asked me to make him chicken soup.

That's what he callstinola .

Who is Eddie?

I meant Commander Harrison.

I can only call him Eddie when there's no one around.

He scares me.

You're afraid of Eddie?

He's intimidating at first.

But if you get to know him better,

you'll realize he has a good heart.

He deeply cares about our country.

He doesn't want to punish us,

but it's the only way to make the revolutionaries surrender.

When that happens,

they can achieve their goals so that we Filipinos will prosper.

They found out where the revolutionaries' hideout is.

Two men confessed, the ones they caught recently.

The soldiers are preparing to attack the revolutionaries.

Good, right?

Delia, the wanderer you're looking after is back.

Where have you been? I'm surprised you even showed up.

We have a lot of work to do and we need help.

I'm the one who owes you an apology, Delia.

She paid me a short visit,

but I asked her to stay on.

I just needed help making thetinola.

The audacity of some people!

She even boasts about cookingtinola

while people here are starving.

Rita.

You've gone too far!

-You've crossed a line! -You're a whore!

Leonor!

Hey!

Hey!

You're nothing! You're just Harrison's mistress!

Stop it!

Enough!

It's nothing…

He's here.

We can't leave.

Leonor!

Leonor?

Leonor?

Leonor, how could you?

Rita, Rita.

Get up.

Leave the hideout. Americans are attacking.

The nerve of her.

Thinking she's American

just because she sleeps with Harrison?

Is that so?

She's still a whore!

She is nothing but a whore!

Rita! Rita!

You're just working yourself up.

Calm down.

That whore!

Sisa, next time you visit Leonor's house, don't bother coming back here.

Do you understand?

That's enough.

Keep Sisa out of this.

Besides, Harrison has entrusted Sisa in your care.

If you throw her out, you might get in trouble.

Nena?

Did Ms. Warren let you out early?

Where's Antonio?

There's still class.

But I was sent home

because I don't feel well.

Are you ill?

It's shaped like a baby.

Maybe a child spirit is playing tricks.

Dear God.

What should we do?

Add salt to her bathwater.

Do this for four days.

I will also give her an amulet.

All right. I'm off.

Thank you, Elder Jose.

Come to my house tomorrow and get the amulet.

All right.

Take care.

Nena, did you hear that?

Be careful when you go out for walks.

Especially in the woods.

It's full of evil spirits.

Come closer.

Ms. Warren has good news for us.

She said she wrote to her friends in Manila

asking for attire we could use for the party.

Gift-filled boxes came in yesterday.

Let's try on the dresses.

Stop it.

Wow! Cedes!

Let's go.

Sisa!

I told you.

She's laughing at us.

She's making fun of us.

She says she's not laughing at us.

She forgot to ask for shoes.

She says we all look beautiful.

Especially you, Sisa.

Apparently, some of these costumes

belonged to a Spanish operetta company that disbanded.

They're in such good condition.

They're from a Spanish operetta company.

It seems they've accidentally included

some of their old Spanish operetta flyers with the clothes.

Sisa!

Good thing you did that, Sisa!

Ms. Warren's eyes nearly popped out with anger!

Don't be mad at me.

But I'd also like to attend a party.

I wonder what we'll do there.

I guess we'll learn how to act civilized.

Civilized?

Sisa.

Can you come with me?

I've made a snack for Eddie and the soldiers.

We'll bring this to their office.

They've been in a meeting for a while.

I'm sure they're hungry.

Eddie's office?

Thank you.

Sisa.

That leads to the prison.

This way.

This is cooked in coconut milk…

-Sweet potato. -Sweet potato.

Comrade.

Comrade.

Where are the other prisoners?

Why are only the two of you here?

Where is Chief Kardo?

Let go of me! Let go!

Help me! Please help me!

Help.

Sisa, why?

Sisa, what happened?

She got lost and wandered into prison.

She wouldn't have wandered off

if you didn't make her go with you to see your Eddie!

Come on, Sisa.

Opel!

-Delia. -Good to see you.

We harvested extra bananas and cassava.

Thank you very much.

There's just the two of us.

Thank you.

Go on, son. Share that with the others.

Let's go inside.

It's all right.

I won't stay long. I'll wait here for Emilio.

-I'll take this inside. -Sure.

Sisa.

I heard the news.

Did you really get inside the jail?

Did you see my husband? How is he?

Dear God.

My husband is alive.

I thought the Americans had killed him.

What did he say?

What did he tell you?

We weren't able to talk for long.

He wanted to tell you not to lose heart.

I won't.

I won't lose heart.

Now that I know that he's alive.

Sisa.

I've been talking to the villagers.

No one sympathizes with the Americans.

The insurgents can count on our support.

Opel, have some water.

-Here. -Thank you.

Sisa, can you stir for me now?

This is one of Eddie's favorite desserts.

He'll surely be pleased.

Good of you to come visit.

But I worry that Delia might scold you.

I am not afraid.

You're really my only real friend here.

Me and Eddie.

But Eddie treats me like a wife.

His soldiers know about us.

His soldiers respect me

unlike the people here.

Will he marry you?

Yes, after the war.

It will be over soon, Sisa.

Eddie told me that soon,

the President of America will issue a proclamation

that will grant amnesty to the insurgents.

In fact,

the officials of the Taft Commission are arriving

to check on the living conditions in the concentration camps.

They'll search for deserving Filipinos

to be given roles in the government.

Sisa.

Even surrendered revolutionaries

could be selected.

I think we're too early.

Is there any food?

I'm starving.

Cedes, all you think about is food.

Does the dress look good on me, Mother?

Looks good on you, Mother.

It is, Mother.

Isn't it a big sin to hold the dance here in our chapel?

The saints were already moved to the military base.

They'll be brought back after the dance.

First, they got rid of our friars.

-Now, they want to erase our religion? -Never mind.

This bread is delicious.

I know you'll like it. Let's go.

It's really good. Try it.

Go ahead.

Greetings to all the women.

This day is worth celebrating.

Earlier today,

President Roosevelt released an order

forgiving all revolutionaries.

The feast is modest,

but there are enough drinks for everyone.

Let the fun begin!

Their so-called proclamation is a joke.

They should apologize to us

for all the heinous crimes they've committed against us.

They're delusional.

We will not surrender.

Good.

We have a window of opportunity.

I found out from Leonor

that the group from the Taft Commission will arrive next Friday.

Their members are some of the highest-ranking officials

in America, right?

Even if we kill just one of them, that will be a huge blow to the Americans.

This is great news.

I'll inform the revolutionary army.

We have to find the weapons

that Chief Kardo hid in the cemetery.

Let's return tomorrow,

and I can bring some help.

We can't trust anyone.

If we have spies, I'm sure the Americans do too.

There's nothing for us here.

Are you leaving?

Obviously.

No one seems to be enjoying this, apart from Ms. Warren.

Won't they look for us?

-No, they won't. -Ms. Warren might scold us.

Didn't you see her?

She's just drunk just like her friends.

My God.

They're flirting with the soldiers.

If being civilized is like that,

then count me out.

-What's that? -It's for my kids.

Where were you, Nena?

I was outside, Mother.

Just getting some air. It's smoky in here.

Let's go. What a waste of time.

Harrison is here.

I'm sorry.

I forgot that you can't understand English.

Leonor was supposed to be here this morning.

Do you know where she is?

Leonor?

Yes.

Have you seen her?

What did he say?

How ignorant are you that you don't understand Spanish?

Delia.

Is he looking for Leonor?

Weren't they together last night?

Why is he asking us?

Sisa, where have you been?

Opel has been waiting for you.

Really?

Sisa!

What's going on?

You have to come with me.

What?

-Where are we going? -It's Leonor.

-She needs us. -It's almost curfew!

Wait!

What happened?

Something happened to Leonor!

My God! Leonor!

-Leonor? -Leonor?

She is alive.

We have to stop the bleeding.

Get some young banana leaves.

-Hurry! -Quickly now!

I'll get a basin.

All right.

Oh, God!

She has a bruise on her neck.

Like someone choked her.

She was also punched in the stomach,

leaving many bruises.

But

most of the bleeding came from her vagina.

Was she raped?

Isn't Harrison the only one she's sleeping with?

We found a beer bottle at the foot of the bed.

The kind the soldiers drank at last night's party.

-Could one of them have abused her? -Oh, God.

-Oh, Lord. -Whoever did this is an animal!

I made some tea.

It's good for the stomach.

Good idea.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Father, why don't you go home and rest?

You didn't get much sleep last night.

Okay. Send for me if you need me.

Goodbye.

Take care.

By the way,

I'll watch over Leonor tonight

so you can go home to your families.

Thank you, Rita.

Leonor?

She's awake.

Leonor, how are you feeling?

We're here for you.

You're safe.

Do you know who did this to you?

You were still with Harrison at the party when we left.

He saw me home.

We rode the carriage along with some soldiers.

After they left, I fell asleep right away.

I don't know how long I slept.

And then I felt…

I felt that someone was on top of me.

It was dark.

I couldn't see anything.

But I smelled beer on his breath.

I tried to fight back,

but he kept punching my stomach.

I nearly passed out.

Until…

What he did was so vile.

I kept begging him to stop,

but he wouldn't listen.

I can't believe this happened to me.

I really thought…

the soldiers respected me because I was important to Eddie.

But to them, I was still just a whore.

Do you think if I report this to Eddie…

he will punish the person who did this to me?

Or will he blame me instead?

Leonor.

How sure are you

that he loves you?

Help!

Help!

Help!

Andres!

Andres!

Andres!

Andres, where's our son?

Our grandchild?

Run.

The Americans might catch you!

I shouldn't have hidden.

It's not your fault.

You have to leave now!

I'm not leaving!

Let them kill me!

You must live.

All must know the inhumanity of these foreigners!

Go to my brother, Artemio.

He's a revolutionary.

Let him know what happened to our people.

Go, now!

Leave this place!

I love you!

I love you all very much!

Have you waited long?

I'm sorry.

Nena's so hard to wake up.

Where is Nena?

Delia, I brought Antonio along to help.

This way, we can finish faster

and visit Leonor next.

Cedes said she can walk now?

Yes!

She is so grateful for our help.

Nena, will you hurry up?

Mother, I don't feel well.

Nena?

Still not feeling any better?

Maybe the protection Father gave you was wrong.

Go see him again later.

Isn't morning sickness a sign you're pregnant?

Maybe you're pregnant, Nena.

Don't joke like that.

It's not true.

My child…

My child, what happened?

My child.

Talk to me.

Nena.

Nena!

Tell me the truth.

Are you pregnant?

Mother!

You're only thirteen.

You only just got your period.

Who did this? Who did this to you?

Is it Antonio?

You're both so young.

It's not Antonio.

Then who?

It's Smith.

Smith?

The soldier who guards the tower.

Didn't I warn you?

Do not trust those soldiers!

Mother, he told me that he loved me!

But yesterday, I saw him with Ms. Warren…

They were kissing.

Isn't it enough that they killed your father

and your siblings?

Mother.

Mother, what are you going to do?

Mother, where are you going?

Mother!

Mother, please, I beg you.

Let's just go home.

Mother.

Mother, don't do this.

Sisa.

Mother, please stop!

-Please stop! -Let go of me, Nena.

Mother, let's just go home.

You American beast!

She is just a child.

You defiled her!

I'll kill you!

You're an animal!

-Mother! -You're an animal!

Delia!

-Stop it, Mother, please! -Delia!

No, Mother!

Delia!

I'll kill you!

Mother, please!

Nena!

Nena!

Nena!

Nena!

Nena…

My child…

My child…

Nena, my child!

My child!

My child!

Delia?

Nena!

We are truly sorry for your loss.

I know this is not the right time,

but I want to get to the bottom of things.

Smith said Delia tried to kill him,

and he had no choice but to defend himself.

Can anyone tell me what really happened?

Come on.

Answer me.

Three hundred years of Spanish colonization,

and not one can speak Spanish among these savages.

What's the point of teaching them English?

Stupid!

Your soldier deceived Nena,

impregnated her, and then murdered her.

He didn't just lie, he took a life.

If justice means anything, he must pay.

Well…

I didn't know you were so eloquent in Spanish.

We thought you were crazy.

But it seems your condition has improved.

Yes.

But this is not about me, sir.

Leonor.

Opel told me

that you're not an ordinary spy.

General Artemio is your brother-in-law.

Is that true?

Did you also lose family in this war like we did?

I'm just like all of you.

How did you cope?

Our grief is endless.

We carry it until our last breath.

Antonio.

She offers her condolences.

And said Nena was so clever.

I don't understand the other things she said.

Smith will be punished.

Ask her what kind of punishment.

She doesn't know yet.

Tell her

the only acceptable punishment is death.

She says she understands you.

How can you possibly understand me?

Have you been married? Had children?

Were they killed in front of you, one by one?

You understand nothing!

Nothing!

None of you understand anything!

Nothing!

Nothing!

My child!

My child!

Nena!

Nena!

Nena!

My child!

Nena!

My friends.

Before we part ways,

and while the soldiers aren't around,

we have something important to tell you.

Please, listen carefully.

Important American officials are coming.

On that very day, our forces will strike.

We need to help them.

They lack weapons.

Help how?

-Join in the attack? -No.

But if they get cornered,

we have to act.

We have to support them.

My son, Emilio, and his friends will be standing by.

Stay in your homes.

Wait for their signal and then we will charge.

I'm ready to help.

But what chance do we have against guns?

We have no weapons.

I understand this isn't easy.

But now is our chance to show our courage.

Remember the bravery of my husband,

Kardo, your chief.

He was put in prison fighting for all our rights.

He fought for us to have peace.

Free from oppressors.

My friends.

We must unite.

It's time to crush American tyranny,

which still tramples on our freedom.

We're ready.

Isn't it more noble to die fighting

than to die in slavery?

Perhaps, this is why God willed

that I find something in a grave.

A few months ago…

I dug up a sack full of weapons.

Enough for our planned attack.

I hid them, not knowing what to do.

Now, I understand.

It was destined for this.

Meanwhile, the Americans must not suspect our plans.

Let them think we're no match.

That we're just lowly natives who accept whatever life brings.

Another captain will be arriving

to welcome the members of the Taft Commission.

They must not get wind of our plans.

Let's carry on being servants.

What matters is that we don't get discouraged.

Instead, we must gather strength and courage,

so we'll be ready for whatever happens on the day of the attack.

The Taft Commission arrives this afternoon.

Are our forces ready?

They'll be here.

Leonor, have you spoken with Commander Harrison?

He's been too busy preparing for today.

He has no time for me.

Will it matter if I report it?

What if I'm also just a thing to him?

The Taft Commission!

They're here!

So that's the Taft Commission.

They look like elves.

Indeed. Paler than albinos.

Antonio, are more Americans coming?

No. Just them.

Just three guests. So why are we making so much food?

More visitors are expected to arrive.

We have to add more plates.

Who is Ms. Warren referring to?

Other guests are yet to arrive?

We need more cutlery.

Ofelia.

What if Harrison got wind of the planned attack?

What if there are more soldiers arriving?

They've added more chairs for dinner.

It seems more Americans are coming.

I'm worried.

There's something you need to know.

What is it?

Thank you very much.

Gentlemen.

What's happening?

Isn't it clear?

The revolutionaries have surrendered!

Welcome.

And thank you for accepting peace.

Friends, please.

A few days ago,

a glimmer of hope

emerged from the darkest corners of this province.

A representative of the Filipino revolutionary force

reached out to Captain Andrews.

Thank you, sir.

Seeking the promise of peace

offered by President Roosevelt's amnesty program.

They, too, yearn for an end

to the bloodshed.

They, too…

yearn for a chance to rebuild their nation.

Today marks a historic moment.

A day…

once thought unimaginable.

Our little brown brothers

have laid down their arms

and embraced the greatness of America.

Delia…

Where's Sisa?

Artemio, what happened?

Thousands died for our cause.

Why did we surrender?

Even I opposed it at first, but General Aguinaldo was right.

We're no match against the Americans.

This is the only way to achieve peace.

And be enslaved again by foreigners?

They're not like the Spaniards.

They promised to help us recover,

and when we're ready, they'll grant our freedom.

Before Andres died,

he asked me to come to you.

He is your brother, Artemio!

The Americans burned my family alive!

How could you make a deal with those devils?

General, please join us for drinks at the table.

Commander Harrison.

May I introduce my sister-in-law?

She was once a Spanish operetta actress in Manila

before marrying my brother and relocating to the province.

An operetta actress?

That explains your fluency in Spanish.

May I know your name, madam?

What did General Artemio say?

What?

What?

What did he say, Sisa?

Why didn't you tell me the truth?

When did Artemio decide to surrender?

General Artemio.

Answer me!

You've no right to question General Artemio's decisions.

You don't understand much about this war.

I agreed to be a spy

because you swore they'd pay

for their inhumanity.

We did inhuman things to them too.

In this war, no side comes out clean.

We have all hurt one another.

Do you even know what happened here?

Which one?

The death of the girl a soldier impregnated?

Or the rape of Harrison's mistress?

I know everything.

I know it all.

Remember, I'm a spy just like you.

Then you should know the Americans must pay for their crimes.

Americans didn't rape that whore.

Then who did?

What do you know about what happened?

If an American didn't rape her…

then who did?

Santiago…

You?

Why?

That woman was fornicating with an American!

She practically became Harrison's spy.

You were there, right?

You were all there. She humiliated your friend

and shamed her before the soldiers.

To a revolutionary,

that traitor had it coming.

You defiled a fellow Filipino.

How could you?

War or no war.

That woman is a whore!

You're a plague!

And what does that make your surrender?

Isn't that much worse than fornication?

So then, you're whores too!

Whores who betrayed our own country!

I'll forget this happened.

You beast!

Damn you!

Let go of me!

Santiago!

Don't let him get away.

You beast!

You defiled me!

Leonor, please stop!

Leonor, stop it!

Someone might see us!

Leonor, please stop!

I really thought it was the Americans.

In my mind, I even blamed Eddie.

I have to see him.

-I have to see Eddie. -Why?

I'll tell him what this man did to me.

He has to understand! We only acted in self-defense.

Eddie loves me.

He loves me.

Leonor!

Do you hear yourself?

Harrison has a family in America.

He'll go back to them once the war is over.

He'll be done with you too.

He will not protect you.

You don't know him, Delia.

You don't know Eddie. I'm the only one who knows him.

I shouldn't have doubted him.

I made a mistake.

-I'll go to him. -Leonor!

-Move! -Leonor!

-Calm down! -You don't know what you're saying!

Think…

Ms. Warren has been looking for you.

They're going back to the kitchen. The food's burning.

What are you doing here?

We're taking some wine and then we're going back to the military base.

She's asking you to hurry up.

Leonor.

Come on.

Let's go to the kitchen.

Must you talk to Harrison?

Why won't he come?

I just want to talk to him.

Be quiet. Everyone's looking.

Stop arguing.

Everyone can see us.

Why are you stopping me?

I have to talk to Eddie.

Leonor!

-Leonor! -Calm down.

Calm down.

Leonor.

Harrison won't see you looking like that.

We've been cooking all day.

Look at yourself.

Let's get that blood off your hands.

We'll help you, okay? Come on.

-You'll fix me up? -Come now. Hurry.

Where were you?

We're swamped in here. We need your help.

What happened?

We're going to prison.

What?

My God! What do we do?

I have to talk to Eddie.

-You promised to help me clean up. -Wait, wait!

Tell me what happened.

If you won't help, I'll just go back in.

-Leonor. -I'll go myself.

Leonor, wait.

We'll help you.

But calm down first.

Drink some water.

Somebody explain what's going on!

We killed Santiago.

We learned he was the one who raped Leonor.

My God.

Drink it all.

So you'll feel better.

Don't worry.

I'll explain everything to Eddie.

He won't abandon us.

Believe it or not,

he has a soft spot for us Filipinos.

He loves us.

How can you be sure?

How can a foreigner love our country?

Even fellow Filipinos betray us.

How much more those foreigners

whose only goal is to conquer us?

Eddie will listen to me.

Trust me.

I brought extra clothes.

Help me change?

Come on.

-Leonor… -Leonor!

-What's happening? -Leonor?

Sisa…

What did you make me drink?

She'll report us to Harrison.

Death is all that awaits us.

Why?

Are you just like Santiago?

Do you see me as filth too?

No, Leonor.

But you've been blinded by the enemy.

Leonor!

Leonor!

Leonor!

-Help! -Good Lord!

Sisa, how could you?

She is a hindrance to our plan.

What plan?

There's still a chance to fight.

You've gone mad.

The men are getting restless.

We need to serve them now.

The food is coming out.

Antonio, insist the food is coming.

By the way, Ms. Warren said…

Antonio.

Tonio.

Tonio, listen to me.

Go to the carriage.

Santiago's corpse is there.

Corpse?

Listen to me. Don't ask questions.

Hide the corpse. Make sure no one sees you.

Or our plan might fail.

Emilio, go with Antonio.

Help him hide the body.

Go on.

Yes.

And get our siblings.

And go to the next town.

Go to our Aunt Loleng. Remember her?

Bring Emilio with you.

You'll be safe there.

Don't be afraid.

The guards at the tower will be too drunk to stop you.

I can't leave my father.

He's old now.

I'm all he has left.

I can't do this.

Please, forgive me.

Then go with them, Gloria.

But I'll leave my children in your care.

Take care of them. Promise me.

Whatever happens to us,

make sure you tell them

I did this all for their sake.

Will we see each other again, Mother?

Go.

Leave now.

Sister.

Look after our siblings.

Sister.

Go, now.

Sisa, forgive me.

Delia.

Be careful.

Let's begin.

You beast!

I do regret the interruption.

Please, let's return to our dinner.

They didn't hear us.

Thank God.

Come on, Emilio.

We have a long journey ahead.

Come on. Hurry up.
