Samuel?

Haven't I promised you that...

Wherever you go

I will find you?

Samuel!

Cut!

Stop the scene!

When I say cut, I mean it!

You understand me?

Kevin.

Ton... Let's proceed to the next scene.

Move it guys! Let's prepare for the close-up shots!

You're forgetting the camera is rolling.

Let's move on to the next scene.

Next scene, guys! We'll do close ups!

Fix everything before we do a take!

We'll be taking the tighter shots next.

After we wrap, everyone must attend the after party.

You have to be at the hotel, okay?

Your movie might get pirated again, Director.

This might screen on a porn site before our streaming platform.

What's the matter with that?

All movies today are being pirated.

These guys know how to bypass a firewall,

so don't worry about it!

- I need someone from the art department! - Kevin! Do you want to rehearse lines?

- What? - Do you want to rehearse?

I'm good. It's quite hot, I need to take a break.

Is rehearsal really necessary? We're just going to be kissing each other.

I think she just really wants you.

Just play along.

Let's move on! Get the next set ready!

- Next set! - Prepare the next set!

Sir Kevin! Can I take a photo with you?

Maybe later.

Just ask Kevin later. Let him enjoy the party.

- Congratulations! - Thank you.

Any upcoming projects on your radar?

No plans at the moment. I'd like to take a break first.

I understand.

You and Cassie have been working on so many movie projects recently.

This is your fifth, or sixth movie together?

It's becoming too much for me. I'm starting to feel bored.

Well...

All your movies have been hits, no wonder you're always paired together.

Oops.

Speaking of which, here she comes...

Hi, Kevin! Hi, Director!

Won't you help me finish this drink?

I still have my whiskey.

Just ride with it.

Come on, please?

Yay!

How about you, Director?

I'll go ahead. Enjoy the night, guys.

Bye, Director! Thank you!

Thanks, Director!

Kevin! Where are you going?

My mom is calling.

Hello?

Kevin!

What time will you be here? You said you're heading home.

I'm coming, Mom. I was just about to leave now.

Kevin, you said the travel time would take two hours.

What time will I expect you here?

Don't you dare forget your father's surprise, it's his birthday.

I know. Like I said, I'm about to leave this place already.

Hurry up! You're expected to be here, Kevin!

Okay, okay. See you, bye.

Take care.

Hey, Max! Where is my car parked?

It's out there,

in the garage.

This is a pretty neat car you bought!

Do you have the ownership papers for this yet?

Why does my car matter to you at all?

Have a safe ride home!

Just remember, when you reach the intersection, turn right,

- then turn left- - I know.

Kevin!

Please don't leave!

You'll regret leaving me here like this!

Don't you believe me?

What about you?

And you?

You as well!

You don't believe me?

Where was it again?

Right or left?

- Architect! - Engineer! Happy Birthday!

I hope you continue to prosper even more!

Engineer! Happy Birthday!

Thank you.

Hi Uncle, Happy Birthday!

Here's the gift we got you!

You can place it over there.

- Auntie, you're so pretty! - Thank you very much, my dear!

Hi!

Happy Birthday, Sir.

Thank you very much. Make yourself comfortable.

Where is your son?

I can't contact him,

but he said a while ago that he was on his way.

That boy has absolutely no respect for me.

He'll come around in time.

And remember,

that boy is not only my son but also yours.

Whatever you say.

Is it supposed to be here?

Shit!

Damn it!

You're finally awake.

Hey, take it easy.

You haven't recovered yet.

Don't stand just yet.

Wait for me.

Here you go.

Come eat first.

Here's some forest tea.

It will help heal your wounds

and make you sleep better later.

What is this?

That's a sambong leaf.

It will help heal your wounds.

This one as well?

Yes.

Drink up.

Go ahead, this is nutritious.

This will help you a lot.

Careful, it's a bit hot.

Go ahead.

It's supposed to taste that way.

Here you go.

This will give you strength.

Eat a bit, it'll keep you from feeling weak.

Drink some more, finish it all up.

Go right ahead.

It'll help you feel stronger.

Where am I?

You're here.

With me.

What is this place? Why am I here?

Dune brought you here.

The man living with me.

Would you like some sweet plantains?

This is packed with nutrients.

Where...

Where is my car?

Was he able to find my cellphone?

I need to make a call.

He didn't say anything about a cellphone.

Don't move too much.

Where is he?

I need to talk to him.

You won't be able to talk to him.

Why not?

He doesn't really speak.

It's been that way for a while.

He refuses to speak.

May I borrow your cellphone instead?

I just need to make a call. I'm sure everyone is trying to find me.

We don't use cellphones over here.

- What? - This is a remote place.

How is that even possible? How do you manage to live like that?

We have most of what we need here.

Should we need something else,

Dune goes to town to get whatever we need.

Finish your drink, then take some time to rest.

- Go on. Just take a sip, if you want. - My head hurts.

Don't worry.

I'll look after you.

Hey, take it easy.

Gently, now.

Hey! You're finally awake!

Have some food first.

Go easy.

You're still not fully well.

Don't push yourself, okay?

Here.

Take a sip first.

Go ahead.

Be careful, it's still a bit hot.

What's with the weird taste?

These are Lagundi leaves.

It's used to help heal wounds and make you stronger.

What is your name?

- Me? - Yes.

Dian.

Diane?

Di-an.

Dian.

Yeah.

My mother named me from a mythical goddess.

Her name is Dian Masalanta.

The goddess of love and childbirth.

What's your mother's name?

Dayang.

Dayang.

Yes.

She was named after the goddess of the mountains.

How about you?

And you are?

Samuel.

My name is Samuel.

Samuel?

Good day to you, Samuel.

Good day to you too, Dian.

Give that to me.

He still doesn't need this, he's still too weak to walk.

He really doesn't talk at all.

Yeah.

Wait a moment. I'll just clean you up.

Take off your clothes.

I'll do it myself.

Who owns that?

That's from Dune as well.

Did you discover this car?

Yes, sir. I found it early this morning.

The past few days of rain have made this area quite muddy.

Is this area part of your usual route?

Yes, sir.

Because...

I've been crossing the other side and...

The rain has brought about a lot of mud.

Can you show me the blood stain you mentioned earlier?

Hold on, it's over here. There's blood over here, come look.

It's right there. Can you see it?

The rock has discolored because of it.

When I saw that, instead of just leaving,

I went to the barangay captain's house.

That's when he called you up.

I don't normally visit this place.

Are there other houses in this area?

Not really, sir.

Nothing I know about.

That area is a planting field.

I'm actually the caretaker from that area over there.

The owner is based in Manila,

but he hasn't visited here in a long time.

Since I'm used to working in the mud,

and because it's raining, I'm the only one-

You've already mentioned that.

This case should be simple.

We have his car records here, and there's an address provided.

There's also a phone number.

Try to call it.

Is there any signal here?

That's the issue. There's no signal in this area.

Let's just call the number later

when we get to the police station.

Also, we ought to get in touch with the district hospital

and nearby clinics in the vicinity.

We'll see if anyone reported

an accident last night, or early this morning.

In fact, we should start asking around.

He mentioned that these properties are rice fields.

The houses are distant from one another.

I don't know.

This is the quickest route to the main town that I'm aware of.

Sometimes when I stroll by and the rains start to form-

We got this, Sir. We're good.

Thank you.

Let's call the number when we get to the station.

- We'll go ahead. - Boss!

Hey, Boss!

- What do you need? - Chief!

Were you able to get my name?

Yes, Sir, we did. We got your name.

Hey! Why did you stand up?

You're not strong enough yet, remember?

Let's head inside first.

Please.

Take a seat.

How are you able to live here by yourself?

I'm not on my own.

Dune lives with me.

Don't you leave this place?

I don't really need to leave, you know.

Drink some tea first.

Go ahead, and you'll get your strength back.

I made this drink for you.

Just bear with the taste.

It will help you recover quickly.

During the day...

What keeps you occupied during the day?

Is it purely animals and plants?

You talk as if you think we're ancient people from long ago.

I'm sorry, I didn't know.

How about at night?

What do you do at night?

We have an old TV,

but there are no stations available.

However, Dune purchases old DVDs

from the main town whenever he goes there.

I guess it's all pirated?

Please have a drink. Drink all of it.

Just trust me.

This will help you get better.

I've had enough.

Just a little bit more.

I just want to get out of here.

Will you see me out?

You're still not strong enough.

You need to regain your strength first.

I'm well enough.

So, are you coming with me, or not?

Sure.

I need to get back home.

I'm sure they're trying to find me.

Please help me.

I said help me!

I already told you.

You're still unwell.

Let me take care of you for the time being.

I can look after you.

You can sit down over there.

Don't be stubborn.

Kevin hasn’t called me since the shoot.

He's not present on the set with you?

No, Ma'am.

You didn't even notice that he hasn't been contacting you?

That's because I also manage other celebrities.

Kevin and I only talk when there's an upcoming project for him.

He recently told me that he wanted to take a break,

so I assumed he took some time off.

Then where the hell is my son?!

He could have really wanted to take a break first,

and he'll come back after a few days.

You know what?

He won’t give his word if he won’t make good on it.

I'll speak to the people he's working with.

Kevin isn't very sociable to begin with,

so I'm unsure whom to call.

Alright, this is the plan.

Ask whoever.

That's what I just said...

Then ask other people!

Other people is different from whoever!

Goodness.

I'm certain

that your son forgot about my birthday.

You know what, you know your son well.

He doesn't make promises he couldn't keep.

We should already file a police report.

What did you say? What police report?

What do you think happened to your son? You really think he was kidnapped?

Don't act like a jerk!

What do you want me to do? Sit back and wait for nothing to happen?

Sit idly and do nothing?

Use your damn connections!

Reach out to everyone you can possibly contact!

Now get in touch with the police,

and make sure to reach out to the radio stations,

because if we don't get to contact the authorities,

it will be you that I will drag to jail!

You understand me? You understand?

Calm down. I understand.

Let go of me, stop it...

Darn it, you're squeezing me too tightly!

Hmph!

This is why we wanted to get in touch with you, Mr. Romero.

We came across your car in our vicinity, and it was already empty when we found it.

I no longer own that car. I managed to sell it a while back.

However, in the car documents we recovered,

the car is still registered under your name.

That's no longer my concern.

As discussed with the person who bought the car,

he will be responsible for transferring the registration to his name.

To whom did you sell the car anyways?

I sold it to Kevin Pascual.

Kevin Pascual? Who is that?

- Kevin Pascual! The actor! - Kevin Pascual?

It's been a few days since Kevin Pascual went missing.

The actor will play the lead role in an upcoming film

on the Mabuhay streaming platform.

According to his parents,

Kevin was on his way home from a location shoot

for his recent film titled 'Ilang'.

However, he wasn't able to make it to his parents' house.

If anyone has any information about the whereabouts of Kevin Pascual,

please contact the nearest police station.

Alright, Sir. Thank you very much.

Samuel!

You're quite stubborn, aren't you?

You're not listening to me.

I want to leave this place.

Don't you want to be with me anymore?

Is someone waiting for you back home?

Here.

Forest tea.

Get that tea away from me!

I want coffee!

Don't you have cappuccino here?

Or espresso?!

Latte?!

What kind of place is this?

It appears that you recovered our son's car a few days ago.

You didn't even tell us?

Like I said, it's because the records we found in the car

belonged to someone else.

What happened to our son?

How do you intend to pursue this case?

We'll give the car another look.

Then, we'll ask people in the area if they've come across your son.

Ask people?

You're only starting to ask people now? Why didn't you do that earlier?

Tell me!

We've already looked into that.

We even reached out to the hospitals and clinics in the area.

What?

You have no answers to give us?

Then what the hell are you still doing here?

Just leave!

Unbelievable!

You should've taken care of this earlier!

Why aren't you doing your job?

Leave my house!

What are you...

You’re laughing at me.

Let me go!

Do you need anything?

If you don't mind, I'd like to walk around.

I need your help.

Sure. I'll just put on some clothes.

Also, let's wait for the rain to ease up first.

Do you see the trees over there?

Nearly all of them were planted by Dune.

There's star apple, jackfruit, avocado...

Over there, you'll find the banana trees.

They come in all sorts!

Latundan, lakatan, saba, and señorita.

Señorita?

The small variety.

They're as small as the fingers of a young woman.

That's why they're called señorita.

Towards that area, you'll spot the orchids.

There's waling-waling, and cattleya.

There are also hybrid types.

They usually pop up unexpectedly, so I've lost track of their names.

Like they're wild?

Yeah.

What's that? What do you call that?

Oh, that?

It's a burial ground.

A burial ground?

Yes.

That's where Dune's wife was laid to rest.

But we're the only ones who know about it.

What's with him? He really doesn't talk?

Yes. But he wasn't like that before.

What happened?

Since his wife's passing, he refused to speak anymore.

He doesn't talk to you either?

Hold on, when did this happen? And how do you know all of this?

Well... I saw everything.

You saw everything?

What exactly did you see?

Come on.

Who are they?

They're from the other village.

What are they doing here?

They're hiding.

Thank you.

I think... I'm feeling tired.

Should we go?

Samuel...

Dian...

I've known for a long time that this was going to happen.

Thank you.

Do you have something to say?

You promised me you would give me everything that I asked for.

And now you're giving me that look?

Don't you dare look at me like that!

It was because of you that I got to know him.

You were the one who brought him here.

Now that he's here...

There's no way for him to escape.

Kevin?

I've known who you are for quite some time now.

What is this?

I've been watching your films for a long time.

All of these.

Dune gave these to me.

Because he knows that the first time I saw you...

I instantly fell in love with you.

It was destiny that brought you here to me.

It was fate that I came to know you.

And I loved you all the more...

You're crazy!

You're all crazy!

I will serve you!

I will take care of you, don't you like that?

I have my own life.

I also had my own life before you came along,

but the only thing that matters is that...

We're together now.

You lied to me! You all lied to me!

Can't you say the same thing about yourself?

You kept your real name from me!

However, what matters now is that...

You're here with me.

I'm willing to do anything for you, just please don't go away.

I don't like it here.

I don't like this place!

I will serve you, I will do anything for you!

We will make love!

We will make love whenever you wish!

We will have a child together!

If you don't like tea, I can make you some coffee!

That damn tea of yours!

I know you're adding something to that damn tea!

So stop it!

I just want to take care of you.

- I love you so much, - Enough.

- I just want to take care of you... - Enough!

I said enough!

Don't go! No!

Untie me!

Let me go!

You'll never be able to leave this place.

I will take care of you from now on.

What do you mean?

Dune does whatever I tell him to do.

He provides me with everything I need.

And so, he brought you to me.

You have to let me go.

I said let me go!

I will give you everything you desire.

Are you sure your husband's not coming home?

No, he won't...

He won't be home until tomorrow.

Oh, yes!

Bro!

Bro, I didn't mean to!

Your wife seduced me into it! She's the one who wanted this!

Damn it!

Hey!

Why are you looking at me like that?

Why?

So what?

Are you capable of satisfying my needs?

You don't only have a short tongue!

What? You're going to kill me?

Are you going to leave your child without parents?

Go ahead! If you're brave enough, go for it!

What happened here?

Didn't I tell you to refrain from moving?

You should've waited for me.

I'll just clean this up.

Wait for me.

I didn't realize that people were still living here.

It's quite a remote area.

Son of a gun, there's still no signal.

Sir!

Sir!

Good morning, Sir!

May I ask you something?

Have you seen this person?

Are you sure?

Are you the owner of this land?

May we come in to have a look around?

Do we still need to go inside?

We still have a lot more to cover.

The houses in this area are quite spaced out.

Alright, then.

If you come across anything or receive any information,

please report it to the barangay.

Alright, then.

We apologize for the disruption.

You have no patience with this.

Is that guy mute? Why isn't he talking?

Probably.

Let's go.

Here.

I've prepared your lunch, come eat.

I cooked this soup especially for you.

Would you like some water?

I'm good.

The soup tastes good.

Thank you.

Come eat some more.

Why are you looking at me like that?

It just occurred to me that... you truly are beautiful.

Come, have some more to eat.

Finish it all up.

Dian.

I'm sorry. For the things I've done.

Don't think about that anymore.

Don't worry, it's all good.

I shouldn't have snapped at you like that.

Considering all the things you've done for me.

Thank you.

Alright now, come finish your soup.

Drink some water too.

Thank you.

I think I'm good.

- Alright. - I might get hungry later.

I'll just bring the dishes back.

Dian?

I wanted to tell you something.

What is it?

Come.

Can you give me a kiss?

Dian.

Would you mind untying my hands?

Come here.

Father, no!

Father!

Father?

Wake up!

You asshole!

Father?

From now on, it'll just be the two of us.

I might not have been a good husband, but I promise you...

I will be a good father.

I will provide you with everything you want and need.

What will happen to her?

Father?

Father, you brought him to me.

Hi, Kevin! Good morning!

Oops, I'm sorry...

I was watching you fall asleep last night.

You must be so tired.

You were sleeping like a baby.

I'm really glad that you decided to stay with me.

After all, the press has made your home address public.

Your followers have been setting up camp there, you know?

At least over here, you have some peace and quiet.

Thank you.

Cassie...

Please don't turn it on.

Okay.

I'm sure the news will be about your reappearance.

Besides, I'm not sure I understand.

Your story about the father and daughter who kidnapped you...

Kidnap, for real? You could call them stalkers!

My god! What if they suddenly show up here?

That's why I went here.

Because I'm sure she knows where I live.

Well, at least. At least I'm here now.

She won't be able to come after me.

You know what, Kevin?

Anyone who really wants something will do anything to get what they want.

I know, I know.

Could that be her?

- Ms. Cassie, I have your order. - Hello!

- Thank you! - Thank you, Ma'am.

Let's eat!

Come, let's eat...

Hold on! Let me help you.

Slowly...

Go ahead.

I'm hungry.

Hold on for a while.

Didn't I make it clear?

No matter where you go, I will find you.

Don't you worry. I will be the one to take care of you.

Nothing can ever come between us.
