Original subtitles

I don't want this anymore.

I just want a normal life.

I don't want any trouble.

All I want to think about are ordinary problems of ordinary people.

Things like money for rent and utility bills,

and what to eat for the day.

I only understood what was important

when it was too late.

Maybe I just gotta make a fresh start.

Damn, we're like ants.

Did you guys know

that every animal, insect, and person has a blind side?

A blind side is that part of your sight that has a poor view.

Do you get it?

No.

Alright then, listen up!

Take roaches, for example!

Cockroaches have eyes on the sides of their head.

Like fish and chicken.

Their blind side is up top.

Ants!

Ants have a lot of blind sides.

What?

They don't rely on vision,

but their sense of smell makes up for it.

Spiders have eight eyes

so it's hard to find their blind side.

So its enemies attack from behind.

I bet you didn't know these shit before, huh?

Boss Al.

What about flies?

Where are their blinds… what was it?

Blind side!

Blind. Side?

Yeah, blind side.

Those are so hard to kill!

You can't kill them!

Oh, man!

Boss, didn't you say that spiders have eight eyes?

Flies have thousands of lenses on their eyes!

That's why they can see from every direction!

They say flies can make a split-second decision

on where to go

so they can dodge dangerous shit.

They can think four times faster than humans.

Four times?!

Really?!

Four!

Wow!

Shithead!

Flies have weaknesses too!

All thanks to that figure eight pattern their wings do when they take off.

And since they fly backwards,

here's what you gotta do.

You wait for them to land somewhere,

and since they fly backwards--

Oooh!

you hit them from behind!

You're so smart, boss Al!

Headshot!

A learned man really is something else!

You should pick up a book, you moron.

Your mom sent you to school but you messed around.

Another series of summary executions took place here in the Camanab area,

Damn.

the most recent one happened this afternoon in Sangandaan.

- The police allegedly shot-- - Boss.

Thanks for the invite, and of course, best wishes.

Yeah, congrats to the newly weds!

By the way, boss, when's the wedding?

And the… honeymoon?

What, you wanna tag along?

Nah, we don't have plans yet, but,

we'll figure it out first.

Are you coming?

- Yeah, why are you even asking? - Go on, get out of here!

Boss, thanks again!

Boss, watch yourself out there!

- Good luck! - Yeah, get on home!

The fly-

-how'd it go again?

- Thousands of-- - No, the eight… something.

Just jack off in your room!

Sorry about this, mister!

Are you guys still open?

I was about to close shop but…

it's alright, I guess.

Come on in.

Well?

Are you ready for the trips?

I don't think I'm ready for those kinds of things yet.

I'm still a virgin.

How about I smack you instead?

I'm just kidding.

100 thousand.

This is all our savings.

Better than nothing.

Bro.

Does it look good?

Boss.

Boss!

What brings you here?

Long time no see, Al!

Looks like you'll be sleeping early.

Where's your girl?

She went home for a bit.

Wow.

Isn't that cute?

Are you busy tomorrow?

Or is business a little slow?

Did you know that James has the flu?

Yes, sir. He texted me earlier.

Damn it.

Every time I ask you something,

you only answer the last question!

Are we texting?

Sorry about that, boss.

I'm not busy tomorrow.

We're going back to work.

Tomorrow morning. 10 AM.

Come to the house, bring Amor with you.

You're gonna collect some owed debts.

Got it, boss.

10 AM tomorrow.

Want more beer, boss?

Here, boss.

I wanted to get drunk.

Nah, nah, don't bother.

This is my last for tonight.

We just came from Flirtation.

I just came to see you.

It's a good thing I left this old hang-out with you.

So much stuff happened here when we were starting out.

You better take care of it, alright?

Make me proud, kid.

So?

What did they want?

I don't know.

They just popped outta nowhere.

Maybe they're catching on to you?

They're checking on you.

Nah, he just wants something done tomorrow.

What, didn't you tell them you've got somewhere else to be?

Not like he can do anything if I don't show up tomorrow.

You got a stick?

Let me bum one.

In here, if one of us smokes, everyone smokes.

Who said you could smoke in here?

Who the hell is this?

Get your ass over here.

It's cool, it's cool.

Don't worry about it.

Why are you smoking in here?

Sorry, sir, I didn't know.

I have asthma!

You can't smoke here!

Got it?!

Yes, sir. I'm sorry.

Have a seat, have a seat.

Go on, sit down.

Did I say you could sit down?

Get up, get up.

- It's okay. You can sit. - Sit! Sit!

Are you sure about this one, James?

100 percent, Boss Dencio!

I mean, I wouldn't bring him here

if I thought he'd just make me look bad.

And when we were kids, he was already shoplifting in malls, vegetable stands…

He's a real piece of work, lemme tell you that!

You look pretty good.

Out of all the assholes I've heard about, you come higly recommended.

- James. - Sir!

Yes or No, that's all I want from you.

That's it!

Yes, sir. I can vouch for him.

I'm Dencio.

I'm the head of this family.

Amor here...

is my right hand man.

He's not mute.

He just doesn't like talking.

If you're lucky, you get to hear him talk once a month.

That's Kado.

He's a good runner.

Boyong is an excellent cook.

Over there at the corner is Liezel.

Don't go near her.

Do not touch her.

That's Boyong's niece.

As for your buddy, James,

he's the most useless sack of shit in this group.

Just kidding.

I got him because he's got an eye for the right targets.

He's a great spotter.

Dianne.

Don't go near her.

I'm the only one who knows what she's good at!

Kiss, mi amore!

See?

Boss, what about me? You're not going to introduce me?

This is Pitik [Flick].

He’s good at climbing.

What about you?

What can you do for this family?

- Have you killed anyone? - Do you kill?

Yes, sir.

A lot of times.

Well, well…

How many have you killed?

I've lost count.

It's my job.

Are you with the police?!

No, sir!

I'm an exterminator.

Pest control!

Right, I know what your role's going to be.

You'll be the clown.

You'll bring joy to this family.

What's your name?

Al, sir.

Welcome to the family, Alsir!

Go on, welcome Alsir to the family!

Alsir!

Alsir!

Drink!

Why are you scared? We're not stealing anything from them.

Why did he suddenly show up?

Didn't you say we were going to break away from this?

Al!

I'm sure he knows.

He knows we're getting married.

Shit.

Then he's going to expect us back!

So what?

He can't pull us back in anymore.

Hey.

Forget about him.

Forget about them.

Listen very carefully.

We have a job to do.

Let’s work on this.

It's just a small bank

but I got a tip that

they have a big client--

the newly-built mall on the other side of the street.

Boyong and Pitik-

-you guys take care of the two guards.

There's one inside and outside.

- Morning! - Good morning!

Morning, sir!

Morning.

Right near the entrance

there are three women behind the counter.

You, Al, you're the starter.

Nobody move!

Liezel, if anyone looks suspicious-

-maybe they have an alarm, you take care of it.

Don't press anything!

As for you, James,

you'll take care of the bank's clients.

Make sure none of them manages to contact the authorities.

Kado, you'll take care of the CCTV.

It's going to be near the tellers, right by the counters.

Oops. Calm down.

Just relax, this will be quick.

Now Al, one of the tellers will have the key to the vault.

She will know where the money is stored.

Your focus will be on this woman.

You will go with her to get the money.

You, come out here!

Hurry!

- Where is it?! - Over here.

Where's the vault?!

We don't have one yet, but I have the keys.

Put it in.

Hurry up!

Boss.

- Yeah? - Could you repeat everything?

My left ear's a little deaf.

I just want things to be clear, Boss.

I'll just explain your part.

You go in,

one of the guards will be inside,

you take care of him.

That's you and Pitik. One of you keep watch outside.

Alright? Everything clear?

It's the day of Saint Roque today.

Do you know he's the patron saint of guards?

You know what, I'm not scared of you.

You're probably new to this type of job.

You're kind of cute.

This won't be your last guard duty, I promise you.

- Thank you, sir, thank you! - Take the cigarette.

It won't light up.

Here, give it here.

I don't think there's any fluid left, sir.

Just stop talking.

James!

Al!

What the hell are you--

It's full, go get it!

Al!

What's taking so long?!

What the hell, where have you been?

Why'd you park so far?!

Get in, get in!

Why are you morons just standing around?!

Go after them!

Boss!

Uncle.

- Yeah? - Can I ask a question?

Sure, sure.

You're religious, right?

Of course.

Isn't what we're doing against God's will?

Isn't it wrong that… we're praying while stealing?

I've never seen shit like that before.

So what are you saying, Al?

Do you also think it's wrong that Manny Pacquiao prays

before he decimates his opponent's face?

That's what boxers do,

they pray before

they beat someone up.

Soldiers, too!

They pray...

They pray to the Lord to help them kill their enemies.

In congress-

-they pray there, too!

Hell, they have an opening prayer!

Yeah, those people pray…

Then they go back to stealing from us.

I mean… they're not doing anything illegal, right?

Even Samson prayed to the Lord before he demolished his enemy's castle.

He killed thousands of people that day.

David, too...

He prayed to the Lord so that he could kill Goliath.

What makes us any different from them

when we pray so that our heists succeed?

Guess they're all just monsters, too.

Damn…

- Hey! - Now you puke!

Hey, get your shit together.

- Let's go get some porridge. - Come on, we're getting porridge.

Sounds great, so I can have more to throw up.

You dumb shit.

Dencio!

Dencio!

Who are you?

Mr. Dido?

Mr. Dido, did you need something?

Hey James! Where's your old man?

Hey, Boss!

- What is it? - Mr. Dido's looking for you.

Why, what does he want?

Dencio!

I have a gift for you.

What is that?

Shit!

Over here, boss!

Screw you, Dido!

Screw you, Dido!

Uncle! Uncle!

Uncle!

Uncle!

Uncle!

Uncle!

Those assholes!

He was my mom's older brother.

He was supposed to go into priesthood.

But he always served as a father figure to his siblings…

…ever since Grandpa died.

He's also the one I'm closest to.

Didn't you tell your mother what happened?

No.

They have no idea what we're doing here.

I couldn't get a job.

I didn't finish school.

So, here I am.

It was Uncle who brought me here.

I couldn't give Boyong my farewells the other day.

That's alright, Boss.

Thanks so much for helping with the costs.

Thanks, everyone.

You know,

I feel like I owe you guys an explanation.

Are we getting back at them, Boss?

Just say the word!

We'll make them pay, but not today.

The art of war states that you need to know your enemy.

Our enemy is Dido--

a former friend.

We were kids when we got roped into a gang.

We did everything:

kidnap for ransom, drugs…

We were inseperable.

We were badass.

But when...

But when Amang retired,

he chose me to replace him.

Dido couldn't take it.

He felt like I betrayed him.

Mr. Dido's crazy.

We should put him down, Boss Dencio.

Let's take him down, Boss.

Let's make him pay, Boss!

Relax, guys.

We'll get there.

I'm sure Dido's gang is hiding somewhere.

This is a good opportunity for us.

The territory is ours,

no one's here to challenge us for it.

This is our chance to grow stronger.

You.

I want to thank you.

Because of you, my life was extended.

Baby?

When are you going to marry me?

Shave me first.

Hey!

What are you so busy at?

Ah, I was just taking care of my sister's Educational Plan.

And my Life Plan, too.

This way, whatever happens...

she can still finish school.

You’re really thinking about the future, huh.

Of course!

You know how it is.

Why is it named that, though?

Why call it 'Life Plan' when you only use it when you're dead.

That's some bullshit logic.

By the way-

-how'd you get in here again?

I got in here because?

Because of your Uncle Boyong.

Uncle Boyong and?

And because of how hard life was for you.

Smart!

Of course!

What about you, don't you have plans to have kids or a family?

Let's just eat.

You asshole!

From what I can see from the two of you…

Saul, the king of Israel, was jealous.

I think the rumors are true.

We have seen how anger and jealousy consumed Saul, the King of Israel.

David, his best general and most loyal man…

Boyong and I have a deep relationship that goes way back.

If he were alive, I know he would want me to look after you.

And that's what I'm doing.

But...

you're both grown ups.

You're both adults now, you know what you're doing.

And I'm not going to stop you.

I won't interfere.

This is a business.

This is work.

We're all working here, no hard feelings.

And you, Al,

I'm entrusting this place to you.

It's time for you to step up.

You can count on me, Boss.

I appreciate it.

But when David fulfilled his duties,

Saul begrudged him for it.

The people cried out,

"Saul killed 1000 people,

and David killed 10,000 people."

And even if David meant him no harm,

the king planned for his murder.

Change is coming.

Why?

- Nothing. - Just tell me.

I'm just thinking how long we can stay like this.

Don't you want me anymore?

No.

It's not that.

I mean, the gang.

I'm just thinking about

how long we're going to live our life like this…

with them…

Have you thought of getting out?

Want me to take you away?

I don't need you if I wanted out.

Besides, why would I want out?

To get away from Boss Dencio.

You don’t need to get away from Boss Dencio.

He won't stop you if you wanted to leave.

So what the hell are we still doing here?

Where would I go?

How would I support my family?

This is the only life I know.

Stealing.

Everyone's a thief anyway.

The government's a thief,

even you're a thief.

Or do you want to break away, too?

If you'll come with me,

then yeah, I'll leave!

You'll take me with you?

Letty's Noodle House is a peaceful place.

It is purgatory on earth,

the halfway point between heaven and hell.

Here at the Noodle House, enemies can talk to each other

without fear of being harmed.

However.

If you break the peace of this place,

and I get caught in the crossfire…

I will hunt you down.

I will slaughter your wife,

your child,

your mistress,

your pup,

your cat,

everyone and anyone alive that's even vaguely connected to you.

Are we clear?

Thank you.

Kalasag!

Boys,

behave.

How are you, you asshole?

I'm fine, you dumbass.

How's your arm, asshole?

I'm telling you, it's fine.

Cause you're a dumbass.

Why'd you even call me here?

I want to retire.

But I don't want to be hanging out in the open all uneasy,

looking over my shoulder like an idiot.

Retire?

Screw that!

In case you've forgotten,

I haven't gotten you back for taking that top spot from me.

Retire my ass!

I can tell you where you can get the jump on my men.

That should be more than enough for you.

And then what?

You know, I've got a lot of money saved from our exploits.

That should be good for my retirement.

Well, shit.

The money's with you, so what will we get?

What the hell is this for?

Don't you understand, moron?

The territory will be yours.

My men won't be here.

You won't have a rival!

Every gig is yours for the taking!

Women,

drugs,

even the congressman and the mayor.

All yours.

Use your common sense, man.

They've come to an agreement.

Get the bill.

Wow, these noodles are good.

Did you drown it in fish sauce?

Damn it.

Why did Boss have us wait in this dump?

What even is this place, a burial ground?

We can easily do the exchange

at a mall or a coffee shop,

or a restroom!

Or a damn parking lot!

What if there are ghosts- wait, what was that?

Where's Pitik and Liezel?

Don't they know today is collection duty?

Hey, Al.

You look like you've got a lot on your mind.

What...

What's on you mind, dude?

Huh?

No, it's nothing.

Liezel's going to ask permission from her mom.

Permission? What for?

Bro...

We're planning to get married.

Did you tell the Boss?

We'll tell him.

Wwait, which church, dude?

Probably a civil wedding for now.

We haven't even planned that far yet.

Are you sure about that?

Isn't it every woman's dream to have a big fancy event

where they get to wear a gown while they walk down the aisle?

Listen to this fool.

You really think Liezel's the type to want that sort of shit?

That's not like her at all!

That's too bad….

I was looking forward to dressing up in a formal getup , too.

Probably meet some ladies, and then…

You know what, man, to tell you the truth,

it's been a while since I last went to church.

Actually,

the only time I attend mass is when there's a wedding

or a funeral.

What if the next time you wear your formal clothes

is at your own funeral?

Don't be like that, man!

Who's your boss?!

Shit!

Who was that?!

You son of a bitch!

You son of a bitch!

Damn it!

What is it?!

You dumbass!

Such a simple job and you couldn't even do that.

We should lie low for now,

At least until we find out who did this.

Boss, isn't it obvious?

This is the work of Mr. Dido!

He's right, boss!

Who else could it be?

He's the only one with the gall to get back at you.

He's picking us off, one by one.

Aren’t you updated?

Have you been living under a rock?

There's a war on drugs!

Everyone's affected, no matter what their job is!

Hell, even innocent students are being targeted!

We need to cool it.

By the way, Al,

By the way, Al, thanks for what you did for James.

But Boss,

what about Kado and Pitik's families?

Those poor guys.

Just relax.

I've sent them some help.

Everyone cool off, alright?

It's the only thing we can do right now.

Boss…

What if I stay here?

Didn't I just say it's dangerous?

I was thinking of...

changing up this place, Boss.

Build a--

Build what? A pest control service?!

No, boss… a workshop.

I know my way around cars.

Besides, I know some people who can help.

I see.

Looks like you've been preparing for this.

When's the wedding?

Boss?

Come on, don't be shy.

When I visted James in the hospital, he mentioned it to me.

I guess he was still high on painkillers so he was spouting all this shit.

Al.

Boss.

Take care of this place, alright?

I'll let you have your way.

Who knows…

we might see each other again someday.

Sure, boss.

But boss!

What about the gang's money?

Everything that's here should stay here for now.

Money, weapons-- everything.

Boss Dencio called me out of the blue.

He says,

he thinks we're ready to go back to work.

Dude, to be honest with you,

I'm all set.

You've changed so quickly, man.

It hasn't even been six months.

Are you earning a lot here?

Not really.

It's enough.

I earn enough.

Enough is never enough, man.

Look at me!

Back then, I was loaded but now...

I have nothing!

Why don't you ask some from Boss?

Why didn't the wedding push through?

What are your plans?

Well, I need to drop by Liezel's place first.

In Los Baños.

Haven't you heard about the death during a raid on Mr. Dido?

Where one of the goons spilled the beans on his boss' exploits?

That ambush in San Isidro was one of them.

Boss Dencio was the only one who knew that we were going there.

Boss Dencio's coming to visit you.

Get ready.

He doesn't know I dropped by.

Good luck, man.

- You're leaving? - Yeah.

- Take care. - Yeah.

Are you stupid?

It's like you don't know him!

You know what, I don't understand you.

You told me before that anyone could just quit the group.

But now you're scared shitless!

Go on, answer me!

Answer me!

You were so chatty a while ago,

but now you're clammed shut.

Stop the car!

A while ago you were begging to leave.

Now you don't seem so sure anymore.

Are you hiding something from me?

Stop the car!

- What is it?! - Open the trunk.

Open the trunk!

What did you do?!

Open it!

I thought you pulled some bullshit.

Here.

It's better to live here, huh?

It's too crazy back home.

We're like ants.

Ants?

How sweet.

No, really.

If we wanted to start a family,

this would be the better place.

Why?

Are you thinking of having kids?

You know, this is my favorite time of the day.

Five o’clock?

No, I mean it.

That moment just before the sun sets?

It's brief, but it's beautiful.

Calm.

Enough.

It's just right.

Why are you even covering up for them?

Well?

The mechanic told us

you visited the workshop.

You know where they eloped to.

I don't know anything, I promise!

Boss!

Where's my money?

There's no money!

There's no money, boss!

All I know is that they were going to visit her mother!

Uncle Boyong's place.

I know it. I've been there.

Thanks, kid.

Ah, shit!

Baby!

Don't! Don't!

Don't!

Don't!

Don't!

Mom?

Mom?

What are you doing?!

My mom is here!

- What are you doing! - Come on!

Olive?

Olive?

Olive!

Olive?

Who are you?!

- Big sis! - This is your big sister?!

Where do you think--?!

Olive, do you understand this shit you're getting into?

What if you get pregnant?

We're being careful.

Olive, I asked you to take your education seriously,

and this is what I come home to?

Does mom know about this?

She knows Roman, but she doesn't know about us.

That doesn't matter, Olive!

You'll get pregnant!

No one will take care of mother!

Besides, you're too young!

Big sis, please.

Don't tell mom.

Big sis, why do you have a gun?

Hey there, handsome! Could you give me some money?

Guys, let me play with you!

How are you, mom?

Have you been taking your medicine?

Big sis!

She splits her pills in half to save the medicine!

Mom, please.

How are you supposed to get better?

I'm still strong!

I can live without those meds.

Didn't you say the other day that your chest was hurting?

Come on, mom.

If you don't feel good, you should tell me!

And for what? To make you worry?

You have your own life now.

Your own world.

Your sister and I can still live off of my pension.

Your pension has been delayed for two months, mother!

This brat!

I'll slap you!

Mom.

You are my obligation!

If my work was closer, I'd be living here.

By the way, how's work at the grocery going?

And your Uncle Boyong! How is he?

When he last visited, he said he was going to retire.

He's such a good brother to me.

So religious, too.

Yeah?

Liezel! Get down here, Boss is here!

What?!

Hurry up!

I'll be right down.

Mom,

I need to go.

Go on, just rest up.

Olive.

You take care of things here, okay?

Take care of yourselves.

Make sure you don't get knocked up.

Alright.

I think they sniffed us out.

Go! Chase those little mousies!

Hurry up. We can lose them through the hill.

Stop the car! I think they gave us the slip!

Stop the car!

Boss.

Al.

What's the matter?

We're just here to visit you guys.

Visiting my ass!

You were following us!

What do you take us for?

Do you think I would let you take my money?

What money?

We weren't going to steal the money!

Besides, that's the gang's money!

You really are a clueless guy, huh?

Why don't you ask your wife?

Boss, I really can't find them!

Hi.

Give me your gun.

Don't follow us.

Don't follow us!

You asshole!

Al, get in!

Asshole!

You little shits!

Damn it!

I don't want this anymore.

I just want a normal life.

I don't want any trouble.

I just want the ordinary problems of ordinary people.

Things like money for rent and utility bills,

and what to eat for the day.

I only understood what was important

when it was too late.

But maybe it's not too late.

Maybe I just need a fresh start.
