[vehicle approaches]

[Camille] Are you sure it's here?

[Louie] Yeah, based on the address they gave.

[Camille] No one's--

[Debbie] They said they were already here.

[Camille] It's like no one's here.

-[Louie] I'm sure they are. -[Camille] Hold my hand.

-[Louie] Let's do this. -[Camille] Let's stick together.

[Debbie] Hey, I don't want to stay here too late.

[Camille] Are you really sure they're here?

[Debbie] Yes, we're sure. This is the address they gave.

[Camille grunts]

[all exclaiming]

[Camille] Why are they not here?

[Louie] I'm getting scared.

[Camille] You said they were already here.

-[Debbie] That's what they said. -[Camille] Where are they?

[Debbie] They might be upstairs. Let's check.

Mia!

Edsel!

Lester!

-[door slams] -[gasps]

[eerie music playing]

Louie?

Louie, Debbie, where are you guys?

Are we playing hide-and-seek?

-This is not funny. -[maniacal laugh]

-[Louie] Camille! We're here. -Please show up.

Psst!

Can you just please show up?

[Louie] We're here, Camille.

Hey!

-I know you're there. -[laughter echoing]

[door squeaks open]

[Louie] Find us.

-Camille. -Hey!

[Louie's voice echoing]

[door squeaks open]

Please come out.

If I have a heart attack…

Camille…

[suspenseful music playing]

[breathing shakily]

[door squeaks open]

Please come out now.

Please come out.

-[rocking chair creaking] -This is not funny.

[child giggling, footsteps running]

[screams]

Hey! What the heck was that?!

[electricity zapping]

[thunder rumbling]

[screaming]

What is that?!

Enough! Please stop!

Just please stop!

What is happening here?!

Please stop!

Get me out of here!

Please stop!

[screaming continues]

I don't want this anymore!

Please stop!

[all] Happy birthday!

[all applauding, cheering]

[Edsel] Happy birthday, Camille!

[Debbie] Happy birthday, Camille!

Happy birthday, Camille!

[laughs]

[indistinct chatter]

-Happy birthday! -Happy birthday!

-You look like someone here. -Who? Let me see it again.

-A surprised panda. -What?!

I was so stressed out!

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Hey, guys, Mia is just new here

and you're all being bad influences already.

-Here, Mia. -That's a lot.

If we'd been the ones who invited you, not Mia, would you have been as surprised?

Besides, this was all Mia's idea, the haunted theme.

-Right? -Oh, really?

But, Mia, you're new here in Baguio, right?

Good thing you found this place.

Oh, no, it wasn't me.

It was Alvin. Alvin!

[Alvin] What?

He found this house.

-Wow! -Impressive!

Making moves, huh?

No, I always pass by this house when I go home from school.

I just know that no one lives here.

Really?

When Mia needs help, you're available right away.

-[Camille] That's right. -You're making moves.

-[bottles clink] -[Camille] Alvin's blushing.

You guys are always teasing Alvin.

-She's right. -Hey, guys.

-[Mia and Debbie laugh] -[Camille] What the heck?

I'm sorry, but I have to leave now.

-Hey! It's still early. -You're such a killjoy.

Well, that's her dad's curfew.

And you two…

Girl, your mouth is tired already.

[all laugh]

Yeah.

They can't stop doing that.

Camille, correction, he's not my dad.

Have a drink first, Mia.

[Mia] Bye, guys!

-Bye! -Bye!

Mia, wait.

I'll give you a ride.

The party is still on.

It's hard to find a taxi at this hour.

Well, just wait for me here.

Then, I will give you a ride, yes?

Yes!

-Wait for me here. -[door opens]

Oh, Alvin.

[soft music playing]

[door creaks open]

[car horn honking]

[door creaks]

[guitar strings rattle, snap]

[car horn honking]

[Alvin] Let's go.

[music swells]

[wind chimes tinkling]

Alvin, thank you.

Don't mention it.

Mia…

If you're free,

do you want to go out for coffee?

Sorry, but Uncle John might be looking for me.

Have a safe drive home and thank you.

All right.

[Jeng] Mia, I'm about to clean the table.

Are you going to eat?

[Sam] Mia!

It's your favorite blood soup.

Dinuguan?

Sorry.

[Teresa] Mia, I was worried sick.

Didn't we talk about this?

It's okay to stay out late as long as you send a text.

It was Camille's birthday party

and I ran out of phone credit.

Then buy more credit.

You know, I get worried.

Mia, let's look at the camera.

See? We look so beautiful.

Thank you.

[Tetay] Since it's your birthday,

I have a wish for you.

I hope you find a very handsome boyfriend.

Am I right?

My dad might hear you.

-Dad. -I heard that.

Hello, love.

[Rene] Stop involving her in your schemes.

If you can't believe in love, what can you believe in?

Look at Mia.

Someone she's meant to be with is just waiting for her.

Since it's your birthday, here's my annual treat for you.

[guests cheering, applauding]

♪ The shortness of time We have been given ♪

♪ Love is like… ♪

-♪ A kiss in the wind ♪ -Mia.

Sam.

Mia.

There's a spirit in the bul-ul sculpture.

He wants to bring the bul-ul home.

But I said, "No way, old man!"

He left already.

But he's good.

Sam.

Is that true?

-Do you really see--? -Spirits?

Yes, they're like humans. But not really, right?

Here, Sam. Does it look like him?

[John] Sam, bedtime.

Mia, we're having problems

with Sam's hyperactive imagination,

and you're encouraging him.

Lessen your time playing video games.

Okay?

-[door closes] -[wind whooshing]

[wind howling]

Coffee.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Good morning, sweetheart.

[chuckles]

[Teresa and Sam chuckle]

[Jeng] Sam, you'll ruin your clothes.

[Teresa] Alvin, your mom's order is complete.

-Give my regards to her. -All right. Thank you.

Mia, I'll go ahead.

See you at school later.

-All right. -Bye.

[Alvin] Morning, sisters.

[Teresa] Good morning, Sister Carmi.

-Good morning. -Three bags again?

Make it four. The novices eat a lot.

Thank you.

Bye, Sister.

[breathes deeply]

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

You're here to help me. It's like we're bonding, right?

-I do the mixing then you-- -Ma.

I'm going to be late.

Do you want to use the Vespa? I won't need it today.

-No, thanks. -Why don't you wait

for your Uncle John to give you a ride?

And bring this jam with you.

[sighs in frustration]

[Wilmer] Who's going to be there?

Out of my way, bitch. This is our spot.

-What's up, bro? -What's up, buddy?

There's a full moon party.

-When, bro? -Are you not going to help me?

You fool! Help her.

She's new here. Hurry!

Oh my.

-Here. -You fool!

I said help her.

-Nice one, bro. -You're all jerks.

Step back.

[bully] She might stab you, bro.

You're a fighter?

Next time, do it.

Let's go.

See you later, bitch.

Let us see if you can express relationships on canvas.

Is it possible to do this

with your hands that rely on touchscreens?

Okay, take a look at this.

[professor] Lester and Louie, let me take a look.

[sighs] As expected.

You might want to try other forms.

-Alvin. -Yes, sir?

Good. But boring.

Mia.

Your subject is in a relationship with whom?

My mother.

With her shadow.

[professor] Interesting.

So, to prepare you for our next session,

let me give you a short lecture

on the basics of human form.

Remember that the male form is more rectangles in angles

as opposed to circles in the female form.

-[guitar playing] -Be aware of balance.

Muscular tension.

Humerus and femur are longer in relation

to the length of the arms.

A male has a narrower pelvis. Wider distribution of body hair.

[voice fading] Sometimes, pubic hair at their navel.

On the forehead, on their head.

We will learn something next week.

[soft music playing]

Mia.

Can we go here?

-Sure. -Sure?

So, shall we grab lunch?

Let's go.

[man on TV] She's dead! Ashley's dead, Cedric!

She was killed. She was killed by the--

Hey, sweetheart, milk time.

[chuckles excitedly]

But promise me someone will accompany you home.

Yes.

Thank you.

-Hon. -Yes?

I talked with the investors of the hotel.

They're happy because we're already in the finishing stage.

We'll have a soft opening in the summer.

Then, back in Vancouver before fall,

which is perfect for Corine and Diane's school break.

Perfect.

-That's great, hon. -Yeah, yeah.

Mia, you know,

your stepsisters are dying to meet you.

And there are wonderful art programs in Vancouver.

Who will take care of Dad's grave?

When it's his death anniversary,

especially during All Souls' Day.

[dog howling]

Let's talk about Vancouver another time.

Who left the windows open?

[dog barking]

But, do you know what's coming?

[Teresa] Sam?

What's our next super special day?

-Mia's birthday. -Yes!

[Teresa] Whoo!

What kind of gift do you think she wants?

What is it, Mia?

A guitar.

Just like Dad's.

I don't think it's a good idea.

-[dog howling] -You know what happened before.

A guitar will only trigger unhappy memories.

-[Teresa] Hon. -[John] What?

It's for her own good.

You want me to treat her like my own daughter, right?

[dog barking]

What is wrong with that fricking dog?

Jeng!

-Mia. -Yes, Sam?

-[guitar playing] -[humming]

[Mia] Dad.

Hey.

What is that?

A song that will be rejected once again.

I'm sorry, dear.

I'm just a one-hit-wonder.

I'm no longer relevant.

I wasn't able to give you a wonderful life.

Even your mom left us.

Dad.

[bottle thuds]

Come on.

Don't say such things.

You know, I'm happy with what we have

because I'm with you.

You should always remember that

I will never leave you.

I'll always be here with you.

A promise…

is a promise.

♪ Roses are red ♪

♪ Violets are blue ♪

♪ If I die now ♪

-♪ Will you die-- ♪ -Dad.

Don't sing that kind of song.

How about this?

I will play the one you taught me.

Wait.

Thank you, Sam.

Mia…

You know, your dad…

[door closes]

[soft guitar music playing]

[music swells]

[door creaking]

[door lock clicks]

[door creaks]

[door closes]

[door creaks]

[pendulum clock ticks]

[pendulum clock ticking quickly]

[indistinct chatter]

Sir. Can you please fix this?

That looks vintage.

There's a lot of damage, especially to the strings.

Let's return it to its original setup.

Bert! What do you think?

The strings and setup need to be fixed.

[shopkeeper] This is a rare guitar.

[Mia] I already told you, I just picked up some things.

[John] Where? I would like to know.

Why? If I tell you, will you believe me?

It's always like that, right?

If you don't want to let us in, we can't understand you.

Mia…

I know it's hard…

It's hard for you to move on from your father.

[John] I just want to help you.

Help?

You should have thought of that before you ruined my family.

Mia!

Mia, you're crossing the line.

John is not at fault.

-Your dad and I are already-- -Who are you trying to fool?

[Mia] When did you tell Dad that you were leaving him?

If I recall, it was eight years ago in July.

You gave birth to Sam in November.

It's very clear that while you were in Vancouver,

you were already pregnant when you left Dad.

-You betrayed him. -You don't know what you're--!

[Teresa] Sam.

Sam, go to your room, okay?

You don't know what you're talking about.

You have no right to doubt your mother!

[Mia] You also don't have any right to act like my father.

My dad died because of you!

John.

[Teresa] No.

Mia, go up to your room. You're grounded.

Moses said,

"Do not let impure things come inside the temple."

[Fr. Abellera] Doc, I know what you're going to ask.

How is this related to us?

Isn't it so?

Our homes are also God's temple.

We should not let impure things come in.

Like things that were stolen.

Or…

money that came from corruption.

Or fooling other people, right?

Mia.

Alvin told us that going to the party will help with your adjustment

and that your friends are already waiting.

And…

you will not drink even a spoonful of beer.

So, I said…

"Sorry, Alvin.

Mia is grounded."

But then I thought,

it's a full moon.

The night is beautiful.

It would be a waste if you just stayed in your room.

So, in other words…

This is DJ Edsel.

Let's get this party started!

[party music blaring]

[Debbie] Guys, it's Alvin.

[crowd cheering]

Even here at the party, you're working.

I need to do it.

-Where is Mia? -Mia?

I already did everything.

I told them that I'd pick her up and bring her home,

and I'd bring her back by 3:00 a.m.

And then?

-[Lester] What happened? -What?

Where's Mia?

[Mia's friends cheering]

[Camille] Mia! That's impressive, Alvin.

[Alvin] It's nothing.

[Mia's friends cheering]

-You're so hard-working. -[chuckles]

So I can be useful.

[chuckles]

But for you, no beer. Sorry, ma'am.

-Really? -Yeah.

But Alvin, thank you.

Oh, it's nothing.

What do you mean?

You had the guts to talk to my stepdad.

-[chuckles] -My goodness.

You know, if it was any other girl,

they'd fall madly in love with you.

But you're not like other girls.

Right?

That's why I'm not there.

You're here.

As a friend.

[both chuckle]

-Friend zone. -Friend zone.

It's better to be honest, right?

I don't want to hurt you.

You already hurt me.

My only question is,

why?

I don't know.

Is it because…

I'm close to your family?

The simple life you don't want?

Alvin, two beers, please.

Excuse me.

[Camille] Mia, let's dance.

Come on. Party!

Yes, Mia! Go, Mia!

[indistinct chatter]

[party music blaring]

[party music continues]

[party music continues]

Let's party! Go! Whoo!

[gate clatters]

[man] Be careful.

You might kill yourself.

[breathing heavily]

Why didn't you say there was a hole?

Why are you following me?

Why? Are you the only one allowed to come up here?

Aren't you scared?

Are you really like that?

When somebody asks you something, you answer with a question?

How about you?

When somebody saves you,

you don't thank the person?

I don't know who the person is that I am thanking.

My name is Gio.

Mia.

Right?

[police siren wailing]

[indistinct shouting]

[Gio] Maybe somebody tipped the police off that Wilmer is selling drugs.

But that's nothing. They just want bribes.

They will check if anyone is a minor.

I will turn 18 next month.

Is that so?

The police might call your parents and ask--

They can't.

[police officer 1] You're not even 18 yet.

Why are you here?

I mean, the police can't call my parents.

I guess you should hide.

[police officer 1] Where do you think you're going?

Get inside.

Come here.

[police officer 1] Check the second floor!

Somebody might be hiding there!

[police officer 1] Okay, boys, pack it up. Go home now.

-Mia? -What's your problem, huh?

-Killjoys! -Enough!

[police officer 2] Sir, that's all of them!

[police officer 1] Check upstairs!

Let's go!

[Gio grunts]

You're cold.

No, I'm not.

You're just hot.

What happened to this?

-Edsel… -Where's Mia?

Am I going to see you again?

You want to see me again?

[Alvin] Mia!

Mia!

Mia?

Mia.

[suspenseful music playing]

[wind blowing]

[clattering]

[door slams]

[wind whooshing]

[beads clatter]

[groans]

Sir.

How is it? How much?

2,500 pesos.

Here.

Don't bring that back here again.

[strumming]

Thank you.

Mister Bert.

Thank you for this.

Mister Bert is gone.

He went home to Abra. He had a stroke.

[street noise]

Didn't you say you wanted to see me again?

[Louie] Mia!

Who is she talking to?

[gentle music playing]

[soft music continues]

Pauline.

Gio.

Can I have one, please?

Here.

Thanks.

Pauline always comes here.

And she picked up these flowers.

For you.

Thank you.

Have you lost someone?

[laughs]

You're something else.

I was waiting for your opening line.

Something like, "Gio, do you come here often?"

"Gio, what year are you?"

Or the classic line, "Gio, what time is it?"

But you…

[chuckles] You asked about death.

No, I mean…

My dad died just three months ago.

So, when you gave me this, it reminded me of him.

Which is why I want to thank you.

What do you prefer?

Remembering him?

Or forgetting him?

Neither.

I want to be with him.

That is how it is, right?

If you love someone, you always want to be with them.

Be careful what you wish for.

I might grant your wish.

[chuckles]

Your wish to play a guitar.

That's why you brought it here, right?

-This one? -Yes.

I don't usually play this.

Isn't that yours?

Go.

Let me hear it.

Come here.

Sit.

[plays chord]

You're strumming.

My teacher already died.

All right.

I will teach you the basics of plucking.

Our fingers have memory.

You just need to go along with what you feel.

If your heart is at peace…

[plays gentle chord]

Or when you're mad…

-[plucks sharp notes] -[chuckles]

When you're nervous…

When you love someone but…

but you're afraid…

[plays gentle, uncertain chord]

Your turn.

Put your hand here.

Then…

Move it a bit upward.

Then, go downwards, okay?

[plucking]

Try it.

[plays chord]

You have a beautiful hand.

Now…

Do it with your eyes closed.

[plays chord]

[soft orchestral music playing]

[music stops]

Are you nervous?

Is there a reason for me to get nervous?

When somebody asks you something,

you answer with a question?

You're a fast learner.

Come here. Let's make a song.

♪ Roses are red ♪

♪ Violets are blue ♪

♪ And if I die now… ♪

-I need to go home now. -Why?

Did I say something wrong?

Why?

Didn't you like my song?

That's not true.

I suddenly got nervous.

Why am I suddenly afraid of you?

Maybe you're afraid of what you're feeling

when you're with me.

[both laugh]

My god.

You have so much confidence.

Why did you go along with it?

[both laugh]

Wait. I have a dare for you. Come here.

-I can't stay out late. -Come!

When did you get afraid of the dark?

Bye, Pauline.

-[Mia] Where are we going? -[Gio] Just trust me, okay?

Let's go.

-What are we doing here? -Wait.

All right. Here.

[Gio grunts]

[Mia] Are you really from Baguio?

Did you grow up here?

How about your parents?

[Gio] And then, what is my favorite color?

Favorite band, favorite song.

Favorite movie. What else?

[Mia] You're such a mysterious guy.

There's a saying that mysterious people are stupid,

and are only silent so it won't be obvious.

So that nobody will find out.

[both chuckle]

[Gio] Really?

If you're mysterious, you're stupid?

Are you sure?

-Mm-hmm. -All right.

My ancestors were American.

John Hay used to be an American base, right?

My grandparents were Baptist missionaries.

Sunday Bible school for Indigenous people.

My dad grew up here.

He met my mom here.

Like they were meant to be.

But…

But?

My mom had cancer.

So my dad stopped working.

He took care of my mom day and night.

But

my dad was an alcoholic.

He couldn't accept the fact that my mom was going to die.

So he did it first.

That must have been difficult for you.

Well, not all the time.

There was this girl. Her name was Quinn.

It was like…

when I was with her,

my problems disappeared.

I also thought it was meant to be.

But she didn't join me.

Meant to be?

My mom also said that to my dad.

Which is why I don't believe in it.

Well, me, I still believe.

If you can't believe in love, what can you believe in?

I mean maybe…

maybe you just need to wait a bit.

That person will come to you.

You know, I'm getting stressed by our topic.

Wait.

So that we have our remembrance.

-I will post this on Instagram. -Don't.

-I will post it on Vine. -Don't.

[gentle music playing]

-[Gio] Can I walk you home? -[Mia] You don't need to.

There'll be a taxi around here.

Do you mind if I ask

why you don't want me to take a video of you?

Are you embarrassed by me?

No.

Maybe…

I don't want you to remember me through a video.

I would prefer that whatever happens,

you didn't forget me.

[both chuckle]

Unforgettable?

All right. Take care.

-I'm okay here. -Are you sure?

Yeah.

Okay.

Bye, Miss… MTB?

I don't believe in "meant to be."

Not "meant to be."

"Meant to break…"

my heart.

[both laugh]

[gentle music continues]

-[wind blowing] -[crickets chirping]

[gear shifts]

-[car doors open] -[handbrake creaks]

-[Wilmer] Wait, wait, wait. -Look who's here, bros.

-[car doors close] -[Wilmer] Oh, shit, it's Mia.

Wait, wait, wait. Where are you going?

It's already late. There's nothing to ride around here.

You can come with us.

I already texted my boyfriend. He's on his way.

She has a boyfriend, bro.

You've only been here for two months and you already have a boyfriend?

Mia…

Maybe that's an imaginary boyfriend.

Come on.

-Come ride with us. -No.

-Come with us. -Let me go.

-Come. -Please let me go!

-Come. -Let me go, you fools!

Help! What the hell!

Let me go! Come on!

Mia!

Is there a problem?

-Bro. -Wilmer, let's go.

Is there a problem?

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

[gentle music playing]

[gentle music playing]

[music swells]

Ma.

-Where's my lunch? -Here.

Thank you.

I will go now.

-Bye! -Bye, Mia!

Mia looks pale.

Maybe she's in love.

Huh? You look pale when you're in love?

Which means you haven't been in love for 50 years.

-Oh, come on. -[chuckles]

Let's go, Sam.

Take a bath now. You're late for school.

-I don't want to take a bath. -You're so stubborn.

You'll be late.

-Sam! -Come on, let's go.

-Oh, come on! -Sam, that's enough.

-You have to go. -Ma'am, look.

Get cleaned up now.

You're so dirty. Go.

And wait for me there.

[door creaks]

[eerie music playing]

[Mia] Do you want to go to my house?

So you can meet my mom and Uncle John

as well as my half-brother, Sam.

He's a weirdo.

[Gio] Well…

He's not the only weirdo in your family.

[Mia] Wait a minute. Really?

[Gio] All right.

The day before your birthday, I will meet your mom.

Well, good luck with that.

What is it?

It's Quinn.

[gentle music playing]

[Mia] Is it because of her?

What do you mean?

The reason your eyes look sad.

Mia, can we…

Can we start our lessons now?

Mia.

Look at your guitar.

You know,

a great instructor I know once said…

"A great guitar player doesn't look at his instrument."

That is why…

I only look at the eyes of Gio Brauner.

Until he tells his secrets.

[strums]

The shortness of time…

we have been given.

Love…

is like a kiss in the wind.

[plucking gentle melody]

[plucking stops]

[plucks gentle chord]

Oh?

I thought…

you were only going to look at me.

[chuckles]

[Gio laughs]

["Halik Sa Hangin" by Ebe Dancel and Abra playing]

Give me your hands.

[song continues]

[song continues]

[song fades]

[Gio] Mia, come here.

I've been wanting to bring you here.

[Gio laughing]

[bridge rattles]

Come here!

Gio! I don't want to!

I'm scared.

Why?

[woman] Don't look down.

Mia!

[Mia] Dad!

He's dead!

Dad!

[sobbing]

Dad!

[breathing heavily]

Mia, look in my eyes.

Just look at me.

You can do it.

Dad! Dad!

Dad!

Mia, don't look down.

Just look at me.

Are you afraid, Mia?

Are you afraid to die?

Come closer.

-Gio… -You can do it.

Let's go, Mia.

[pants]

I am not afraid anymore.

I'm not afraid to die.

[somber music playing]

Gio, are you okay?

I noticed…

you were very quiet.

[somber music playing]

I just realized that…

this is not right.

Mia…

Mia, I'm giving you a chance.

-A chance for what? -To run.

To walk away.

Gio, that's not a good joke.

That's a bad one.

Mia, I'm sorry.

I'm not the one for you.

Gio. Gio! Gio.

Gio!

Gio!

-[rain pouring] -[somber music playing]

[Louie] Is this okay? Does it fit me? Am I pretty?

-[bell rings] -Oh, here she comes.

Let's go. Let's go!

[gentle music playing]

[Pauline] Mia!

-Pauline? -You're always going home late.

Pauline, I know you know where he is.

-[Mia] Tell him to talk to me. -[Pauline] But, Mia…

If he has a problem, I can be his shoulder to lean on.

That's what he wanted.

For you not to get involved.

Pauline, I want to be involved.

That's my decision. I've made up my own mind.

But he really doesn't want to hurt you.

But, Pauline, it's too late.

He's already here.

My heart is his, all of it.

[Mia] Now, I'm hurting because he left me just like that.

He's the one who's unbelievable!

He's a coward!

[screams] You're a coward, Gio!

You're a coward!

[somber music playing]

Is there a problem, Gio?

Was it something I said? Please, tell me.

Or is this how you really are?

You just suddenly leave.

Mia, you're right.

I am a coward.

Because…

Because what?

I'm falling in love with you.

Mia, I'm afraid.

I might not be able to control myself if I lose you.

I don't know what I might be capable of doing,

just so I can keep you with me.

Are you telling me this to scare me?

Maybe.

I'm sorry, but it isn't effective.

Because losing you scares me more.

Mia, you're just saying that.

Because you don't know me very well.

Then let me get to know you, Gio.

Tell me all your secrets, all your flaws,

so I can teach myself to be mad at you.

So my heart can learn…

how to forget you

because you're the only one here now.

Gio, at least let me try.

Give me a chance to get inside your heart.

I'm not Quinn!

I will not leave you.

Gio… Gio, I promise, I will not leave you.

You will be my first and last love.

Whatever you may see…

I couldn't care less.

I love you.

I love you too, Gio.

[both laughing]

[switch clicks]

[gentle music playing]

Good night.

Good night.

[Gio] Mia…

[chuckles]

[gentle music continues]

[both laugh]

Is that so?

[both laughing]

Another one!

Hey, that's way too much.

What? You want more?

[both laugh]

-Shh! -Sorry.

[both laugh]

[crickets chirping in distance]

[gentle music playing]

[laughs]

[romantic music playing]

[music intensifies]

[music stops]

From now on…

no one can hurt you.

[wind chimes tinkling]

YOU WILL KNOW ME TONIGHT. - GIO

Are you sure?

Yes, because I love her.

That's why she needs to accept me.

And who are you fooling then?

She loves me.

You love her, but you can do that to her?

[clanking]

There's one more crate of bread and jam inside the van,

take it and bring it over here.

Also, help me with the inventory.

Yes, Mom.

-Bro! -Oh, bro!

-Bro. -[Edsel] Bro.

-Bro. -Listen first.

-It's Wilmer. -What's with Wilmer?

-Wilmer's dead. -Dead?

He went crazy inside their dorm at 3:00 a.m.

-Then, he slit his neck. -Oh no!

That's why I'm here.

Do you know the weapon he used?

A cutter with Mia's name on it.

What?!

Wait… Maybe somebody just put Mia's name on it.

Not just that, Camille talked to Mia's stepfather.

-Mia's been caught-- -What?

[gentle piano music playing]

You live here?

[door lock clicks]

It looks familiar.

-I think we-- -You'll know soon.

Come on, let's get inside.

Grandma, this is Mia, my girlfriend.

Good evening.

[Grandma] Why did you bring her here, Gio?

[Grandpa] Gio came into your life when you took the guitar.

Guitar?

What guitar?

Can you still take it?

Didn't you say you wanted to meet them?

What more should I take?

[Gio's mom] Son, is she the one?

[Gio's dad] Just make sure you will not leave him, Mia.

Mia, this is my dad, my mom, and my brother.

You told me you were an orphan.

[Gio's dad] Gio, you never told her?

Mia, all of us here…

are already dead.

[breathing heavily]

[blows]

[panting, sobbing]

[suspenseful music playing]

[screams]

You promised!

You said even if I was a different kind of Gio.

Please.

[screaming]

Mia!

Mia!

[screaming continues]

[suspenseful music continues]

[Mia sobbing]

Dad?

[retching]

-[shrieking] -[Rene coughs]

[Mia crying]

[breathing heavily]

-[wind whooshing] -[wind chimes tinkling]

[haunting music playing]

[Mia] It was just a dream.

[door opens]

Mia?

Are you okay?

Your Uncle John's calling you. You have visitors downstairs.

[John] Mia, there was an incident at your school,

and your friends are very concerned about you.

Also, Dra. Sibeles from Bible study is here to talk to you.

Mia, Camille just wants to tell you that…

Wants to tell me what?

About the murder weapon used by the victim.

Murder?

Mia, don't tell me you don't know.

Wait, who's dead?

Wilmer. The one who harassed you before.

Wilmer got killed?

Yes. He was killed using your cutter.

Camille! Hey, calm down!

The only reason why we're here

is because we don't know what's happening to you.

You don't come out with us anymore, and you're always in a daze.

-Then this-- -[Alvin] By the way…

Wilmer was into using drugs, so maybe…

he got a different kind of high and he thought of suicide.

Excuse me,

but Wilmer's crazy friends

are blaming your boyfriend for his death.

-My boyfriend? -Yes, Mia.

Your boyfriend… your boyfriend who's…

who's a corpse.

Is there any problem here?

-Is there any problem here?! -Wilmer!

[Alvin] I already said they were crazy.

But Mia, don't worry, okay?

We don't believe it.

You know what, I don't care about what's happening here.

I don't care who got killed, even if it's Wilmer.

What I want to know is…

Who made the decision to turn me into a mental patient?

Mia, you're not a mental patient.

I just consulted with Dra. Sibeles.

Mia… Mia… Please.

-Mia, please sit down here. -Mia, it's okay.

-What? -Mia, please sit down.

I'm about to schedule our first consultation.

I told them that's just the normal behavior

of someone who's experiencing grief.

That is--

I'm not going crazy!

Mia, no one's saying that--

-Ma?! -Teresa…

[John] Mia, have you looked at yourself lately?

You look really pale.

Debbie and Camille said you're being avoided

because you were seen talking to yourself

on the streets, at Harrison Road.

On the streets?

I was with my boyfriend. With Gio.

Mia, you don't have a boyfriend.

[Camille] Please believe us!

Mia, everything you do,

it's all just your imagination.

Oftentimes, you're just talking to yourself.

Take a look at the sketches you made.

Look at your drawings. Look at them.

[papers shuffling]

There, Mia. Right?

These, all of these, are just your imagination.

Look! Mia, please believe us.

No! That's not true! No!

You know, all of you, you don't want me to be happy.

All of you are against me.

That's not true.

He gave me flowers. They're right here.

These were still alive earlier.

He also gave me these, right here.

He gave me letters. Gio gave these to me.

Mia, these are your handwriting.

No. No!

These are Gio's. He gave me these!

Take a look at these, it's his handwriting.

He also gave me this.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Teresa] Mia…

[sobbing]

Why didn't I notice that this was Dad's?

Gio really gave that to me.

He also taught me how to play the guitar.

[John] Play the guitar?

-Didn't I tell you--? -Yes, but…

I didn't tell you I found a guitar

because I knew you'd get mad.

He also taught me how to play the guitar.

I know that you won't allow me to play one because…

I know I will remember Dad through this.

[Mia sobbing]

Are you doing this because you miss your dad?

No.

Ma, I'm telling the truth!

Ma, I'm really telling you the truth.

Can all of you just believe me?

Gio is real!

He really taught me how to play the guitar!

In the park! Yes, in the park!

The little girl, Pauline, who's always holding a flower,

he's always with her.

If you find her, she can prove to you that Gio exists.

Come with me to the park.

[hopeful music playing]

[Mia] What happened? It's not how it was before.

Ma, here!

This is where he taught me how to play the guitar.

This is where I learned how to play the guitar.

[Teresa] But, Mia…

-No… -This is not a park.

But, Ma, no.

Everything's different.

This was a park, not a cemetery!

This wasn't a cemetery.

It didn't look like this.

What about Pauline? Gio's friend who's always with him.

That little girl always brings flowers.

She's always here to pick flowers.

Pauline!

-Pauline, where are you? -[Teresa] Mia.

-Mia. -Pauline, show yourself!

Pauline, I need you now. Where are you?

-Pauline! -Mia.

Mia, maybe this is where you got the name Pauline.

[dramatic music playing]

No.

Pauline, no!

[Mia] Ma.

Ma.

Ma.

[sobbing]

No.

[Teresa] I was still young back then.

I thought love could get you through anything.

Little did I know,

his pride could not bear it,

knowing it was me who was working for us.

He became a drunkard and he started hurting me.

Until one day, he almost killed me.

We were about to run away,

but when I was trying to carry you,

you wouldn't come with me.

You were looking for your dad.

My heart felt like exploding when I left you.

I couldn't do anything.

I was so scared.

I told myself,

"Love doesn't kill."

[sniffles]

That's why, Mia,

your dad and I were already separated

when John and Sam came into my life.

I didn't cheat on Rene.

Every day, even now, I blame myself,

especially given what's going on with you.

Please. Please, tell me.

What's happening to you?

Ma, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. [sobbing]

I'm sorry.

[Pauline] She will do the same thing Quinn did to you.

Why don't you just take her away?

I want her to go with me because she loves me.

What if she doesn't?

[suspenseful music playing]

[Mia sobbing]

You're unfair, Gio!

You're so unfair!

Mia.

I thought you could handle the truth.

Do you know what hurts more?

You gave me hope that I could be happy again.

You made me fall in love with you.

You know what? You're so unfair.

Damn you!

I tried to stay away from you.

You should've tried telling the truth!

What difference does it make?

What you feel for me is real, right?

Mia, I was being real to you.

It's still me, Mia.

-Don't you love me? -Yes, I love you!

Every day, since I found out the truth,

I've been hoping you'd tell me this was all a joke.

[sobbing]

But, Gio, it's not.

You're not alive. You're dead. You're already dead!

Mia, I love you.

I can't lose you.

What do you want me to do?

Cross to the afterlife just to be with you?

Yes.

What do you mean?

Mia, you will live in my world.

We will be happy there, Mia.

Are you out of your mind?

If you love me, you will come with me.

[Alvin] Mia, who are you talking to?

Oh, hey.

What happened to you? Why are you crying, huh?

Are you okay? What happened to you?

Is he the one getting between us?

-[Alvin] Mia. -Gio, don't.

-Mia, tell me what's going on. -Don't hurt him.

There are a lot of them who oppose you.

-[Alvin] Mia. -[Gio] But don't worry.

[Gio] They can't stop us.

I'll take care of them.

-Gio. -Stop crying.

If his life is his only edge against me…

Mia.

I can take that from him.

-[Mia] Gio, don't. -Mia.

-Mia, what's happening? -Don't! Don't hurt him!

Gio, stop, please.

-[Alvin] Hush now. Gio's gone. -Stop it. Don't hurt him.

Mia, you made a promise.

You told me you wouldn't do what Quinn did to me.

-[Alvin] Mia, stop crying. -Gio, that's enough.

[Alvin] Yes, Father. I know it's unbelievable.

We just really need you right now.

Yes, let's meet at Mia's house. Thank you, Father.

He's always been like that.

Intense.

[Quinn] He was an extremely sweet person.

But there was always something mysterious about him.

We were young. I thought love was enough.

When my parents learned about us,

they got mad.

They didn't like him for me.

They said he was a bad influence, and that his family didn't believe in God.

At that point,

he lost his grandparents.

Then his parents.

Slowly, he fell apart.

I was the only one keeping him together.

He wanted us to go away.

He wanted us to commit suicide together.

But I couldn't do that.

I let him kill himself alone.

-Promise me you'll go after me. -Gio. [sobs]

Quinn, promise me!

[sobbing]

I love you.

-[gunshot] -[Quinn screams]

He wanted me to join him in hell?

[Quinn scoffs]

[Quinn] After that, he didn't leave me alone.

I'm sorry.

[Quinn] He haunts me and my family every night.

He won't stop until I fulfill my promise.

But he's not haunting you anymore, right?

Yes. He can't come here.

[footsteps approaching]

[nun] Mia.

So you're Sister Quinn's visitor.

Sister Carmi.

Is this your house?

This is an extension house.

This is a dormitory for novices like Sister Quinn.

[nun] Sister Quinn, Mia, visitation hours are over.

Get ready, everyone.

It's almost time for the Angelus.

[somber music playing]

He won't stop bothering you.

He won't stop until everyone you love is dead

and then you're next.

You'll end up like me.

[Mia] My birthday is tomorrow, Alvin.

He said he'd come to my house tonight.

Fr. Abellera is coming. We will be needing him there.

You better warn your mom too.

I can't find my phone. I don't know where I left it.

Here. Use mine instead.

The guitar is cursed?

Maybe it's because of a lost soul

who can't let go of his belongings on Earth.

-[phone ringing] -Sam?

[ringing stops]

-No one's picking up. -No one?

[phone ringing]

-[ringing stops] -No, I don't want to.

[gasps, breathing heavily]

[screaming]

-[Jeng] Oh my gosh! -Jeng, what happened?

There's an evil spirit upstairs!

-[Teresa] What was that, Jeng? -[John] Jeng, what's wrong?

-[John] What's that about? -Jeng!

[Sam] He's there! He's there!

He's there!

-He's there. -Sam!

-Sam, go back to your room. -He's there!

Go upstairs. Go!

[Fr. Abellera groans]

Father!

[breathing heavily]

-John, the guitar. -The guitar.

Destroy it!

Alvin, you should leave me.

-Go far away. -What?

No. We'll send Gio back to hell together.

[electricity zapping]

Didn't you hear what Quinn said?

I don't want you to get involved.

I won't leave you alone.

I won't let you go until the end.

[electricity zapping]

[fire crackling]

[zapping]

[groans]

[Teresa]John? John! John!

[groaning continues]

John!

John! John!

Oh my God. What is happening?

Teresa, take John to the hospital now. Hurry up!

I'll take care of this and look after Sam.

[flickering]

[creaking]

[whimpering]

[loud clattering]

[zapping]

Uncle John? Sam!

Mama!

Father? Where are they?

Your Uncle John got burned,

so your mom rushed him to the hospital.

What? Where is Sam?

[crying]

What can we do for his soul to rest in peace?

Mia, you're the one who can stop Gio.

You're the one he wants.

He can't take Mia, Father.

[picture frames breaking]

-[fire crackling] -[power shuts down]

Sam?

-Sam! -Mia! Mia!

Father.

Sam!

[Fr. Abellera] Follow her.

Mia! [coughs]

Hey, Alvin. What's happening to you?

[Sam crying]

-Sam! Sam! -[Sam crying] Mia!

Gio, please, put my brother down.

Mia, I'm sorry.

But this is the only way I know of to make sure I don't lose you.

If they're on the other side, you'll want to be there too.

Not my brother, please. I'm begging you, Gio.

Once they're gone, Mia, you will understand me too.

No, don't, Gio! Please don't!

Their lives are holding you back, Mia.

I'll do it. I'll go with you.

Gio, please. [sobbing]

Gio, please, I'm begging you.

Gio?

Gio?

-[Sam crying] -Sam?

Sam!

Sam!

[closet door opens]

Sam.

Let's go.

WHERE YOU FIRST MET ME

Let's go, Sam.

We need to get out of here.

Even if we leave, Gio can still follow us. Right?

Yes. That's why I need to bless the place where the guitar came from.

[Alvin] Father, it's from Gio's house.

[Mia] Let's hurry up!

[Mia] Sam.

[car engine cranking]

[motorcycle engine turns over]

-Mia, where are you going? -[Sam] Mia!

-Mia! -Mia!

-Mia! Mia! -[Sam] Mia!

[Sam crying] Mia!

[heavy breathing]

Lord, help me.

I'm here, Gio.

[Gio] I thought I wouldn't be happy again.

But then I met you.

The first time I saw you, I felt you right away.

I felt how heavy your grief was.

Your anger…

Damn. It was scorching.

But, Mia, what I felt the most…

was your desire to be gone from this world.

That's the reason why.

So I thought, "I've met my match."

Mia…

Mia, I'm so happy.

Now, I have someone to be with. You won't regret this, Mia.

I promise you, we're going to be happy.

How can we be happy if the love we have is selfish?

You hate them, don't you?

You wanted to run away from them.

-But not this way. -Then how, Mia?

[Fr. Abellera] Sam, be brave, okay?

We just need to do something here.

[Sam] Father, where is Alvin going?

Mia, you made a promise.

You promised me!

Yes, I did, Gio. That's why I'm here.

But I'll go with you not because I love you.

-It's because I love them. -No, Mia.

Mia, we're going to be happy.

I love you very much.

Gio, I love you too.

And I can say that a thousand times because that's what I really feel.

But I can't promise that I will be happy.

Why, Mia?

Because it's a sin to cross over your world.

I'll be sad every day because I chose to leave Sam

and I chose not to give my mom a chance.

Stop. That's enough, Mia.

[Gio] I don't want to hear what you're saying.

[Sam crying]

[door squeaking]

-[Fr. Abellera] Are you ready? -[Sam] Yes.

[Sam crying]

Gio, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry if I made you believe that we wanted the same thing.

You're just like Quinn! You're no different from her!

You both lied to me, Mia.

Quinn loves you.

-Not just the way you wanted. -No!

She left me hanging. That's what she did.

[Sam crying]

-[electricity zapping] -I exorcise this house

from every unclean spirit…

in the name of the Father Almighty!

[sharp, ringing sound]

Mia, I don't want this anymore.

I don't want to be alone. I don't want to be angry.

I don't want to be sad.

Why don't you let go?

Mia, how?

-For the sake of our Lord… -[Sam] Father! Father!

Gio, try to forgive.

Forgive your parents for leaving you.

Forgive Quinn.

Forgive me.

Forgive all the people who hurt you.

No.

No!

No!

Father! Father!

[Fr. Abellera] For the Lord has designed His holy temple

that it may be made the temple of the living God.

[groans]

-And that the Holy--! -Father!

Father!

-[tires screech] -[Gio] Mia.

[Gio] Mia, someone else is waiting for you there.

Rene.

He's with me.

My dad? Is he with you?

[in Rene's voice] Roses are red.

Violets are blue.

If I die now,

will you die too?

I saw the urns. Bless it!

-Where? -Where's the holy water? Get it.

Bless the urns, son. Bless the urns.

[both] In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Our Father in heaven, holy be Your name,

Your kingdom-- [screams]

[Alvin] Mia, where are you?

[Alvin panting]

[Alvin] Mia!

Alvin, he's with my dad on the other side.

-He's with my dad. -[Alvin] Mia!

Gio's dead.

He's dead, so don't believe anything he says.

Mia.

Rene is with me.

[grunting]

Alvin?

Alvin. Alvin.

Forgive us our sins, as we--!

As we forgive those who sin against us.

-[screaming] -[Fr. Abellera] Sam!

Sam!

[grunts]

Alvin.

[groaning]

Alvin, what's happening to you?

What's happening, Alvin?

Alvin.

-[groaning continues] -[Mia] Gio, please stop!

Stop!

Alvin!

Alvin!

Alvin.

-[groaning continues] -Alvin, Alvin.

Alvin, Alvin.

-Bless the urns, Sam. -In the name of the Holy Spirit.

[Sam] Amen!

-Amen! -[groans]

-Alvin! -[screams]

Gio, stop, please. I'm begging you.

Please, enough!

Amen!

[whooshing]

Alvin.

-Alvin. Alvin! -[groaning continues]

Alvin!

Gio, stop!

I'll go with you, just don't hurt everyone I love.

[Mia sobbing]

-[Mia] Alvin! -[Alvin grunts]

Mia!

[groans]

[Mia grunts, exhales]

[Mia breathing heavily]

[sobbing]

Gio, please, let me go.

[Gio grunts]

[both grunting]

[breathing heavily]

["Halik sa Hangin" instrumental playing]

How much is this?

She can use it with her band.
