We got to buy a lot, huh?

We're still within budget.

- Thank you. - For what?

For letting me stay with you.

It's nothing.

Thank you for being with me, too.

Big brother!

Here's your meal.

I'll put it inside.

Nobody knows her real name.

Nobody knows where Nerisa came from,

who she is,

or what creature she might be.

It was the people on the island who bestowed her the name "Nerisa".

I delight in Nerisa's arrival.

I may have found a friend in her.

Though I know that Obet is Nerisa's whole world,

Since the day she came to us, the men have always lusted over Nerisa.

Boying who thinks Obet just beat him to her,

Domeng, Gorio, and the other fishermen on the island.

They love flirting with visitors,

especially the pretty ones like Nerisa.

Beautiful, isn't she?

My, my. I'll be damned if I found someone like Nerisa.

Obet just got lucky and found her before I did.

Maybe if you dove deeper, you'll catch a fish like that.

- Let's go. - Hurry up!

I'll dive deeper for sure.

Nothing in this place goes unnoticed.

You can pluck a rumour in the air.

Right or wrong, truths or untruths.

Caloy!

Caloy? The man with a missing hand?

That's him!

My Lord! Has she no pity!

She doesn't discriminate.

How do they even have sex? Can he bend over?

Let me show you…

Ouch!

God bless you.

God bless you.

Mom, thank you for the meal but you don't have to do that anymore,

Nerisa's here for me now.

My dear! It's my pleasure to do it, nevermind if you have a wife.

Thank you, auntie.

You can call me mother.

Yes, mother.

We'll go ahead, mother. We're heading to the market.

Alright, get a move on or you'll be left with scraps! Go ahead.

It remains a mystery to us where Nerisa came from…

The others say she might be an escaped criminal looking to hide from the law.

Some say she's probably just another prostitute like Joni.

But most of us wonder if she might be a mermaid,

because it's believed that mermaids often appear in these parts.

They say that life underwater must be lonely,

so the mermaids look for a lover on land.

Because like people, mermaids yearn for true love.

If they find someone, but the man doesn't love them back,

they will drown him in the ocean.

But if their love is returned, they will grow legs and feet,

and will go on to live on land.

But in exchange for these gifts, misfortunes will befall the island.

No matter how many times Obet questions her,

she remembers nothing about who she is,

or where she came from.

People on the island want to throw her back to the sea,

or surrender her to the town police.

Because it seems that fish have become sparse ever since she arrived.

Maybe she's bad luck after all.

These are the kinds of people on this island.

They judge you, they look down on you.

They will never count Nerisa as one of their own.

This is the true face of the island.

But Obet came to her rescue.

That's how she will always think of him- her savior.

She will love him and will do everything for him.

There's no harm in giving her a chance.

The night will bring answers. We will decide in the morning.

Alright.

That's how it should be.

She can stay with us for the night.

Just for tonight?

Alright, we're done here.

My dear son.

Let him handle it.

But they say the sea is always watching

and it will stop at nothing to take what it wants.

Uncle, mother told me to give you this.

Okay.

That's Michael. His parents are affluent.

His family owns five boats.

They supply oil to the whole island.

He also brings a smile to my world.

Even when we were kids, he's always showed great capacity.

He's the only person from the island

who's ever been to and studied in Manila.

When Nerisa came along, something changed in how I saw the world.

Not just about the people around me, but about my own womanhood.

I'm happy to be with her.

Michael seems like a nice guy.

Huh?

I said, Michael seems kind and respectful.

Pa, this must be the happiest day of my life.

Keep doing well,

and take good care of your relationship.

I'm sure you will have lasting happiness.

And Segunda and I are very glad for you, Obet.

Your mother and father would have been happy for you, too.

Thank you, Pa.

Son of a bitch.

What bad luck.

Old man Erning, maybe we could fish a little further on the other side.

Let's see. We're going to starve if this keeps up.

Old man.

Yep.

I think we should try fishing on the other side.

It wasn't always this sparse in these parts.

Boying, we should head back. Get the boat running.

Oh, my Lord.

Is this all? Why so few?

Erning! Is this all of it?

That’s all there is lately.

Jesus.

I'm telling you.

There's a scourge on this island.

You should tell the captain about your plan!

That we should go further out?

Yeah! Instead of making do with this small catch.

Fine, I'll tell him. Let's go home.

Obet!

Boying, finish up and get home.

After their boats were rammed and sunk,

the offending ship escaped

and left our fishermen floating in the waters,

even if it was their obligation to help them.

The incident claimed the lives of four of our countrymen

while the rest of the crew were rescued by a passing Vietnamese fishing boat.

Sir, how are you so far?

Could you tell us about your experience last night?

I'm so glad God spared us and we came out of it alive.

I really thought we were going to die.

Alright, then, let's just find the supplies for St. Andrew

Right, yes.

What about the Youth? Any plans for the upcoming feast?

Michael?

Captain, I thought we could...

since we've never experienced a dance on our island,

maybe we could set it up.

Sounds like you enjoyed yourself at Obet's wedding.

No, Captain! I just thought couples in our community would love it,

if they had the opportunity to enjoy themselves from time to time.

Ah… for couples?

Yes, Captain.

To enjoy… You kids.

Alright! I have no objections to your plan.

As you know, a dance would build good relations

not only among people you know,

it is also a good opportunity to meet new people.

Well, then, Michael.

Discuss the details of the dance with your group.

Alright...

Keep me up to speed.

We can start looking for a location now.

Alright, then.

Watch yourself out there.

Thank you, sir.

If you need help, just come to us.

Okay sir.

What time is Erning coming in with the others?

They're probably on their way.

I don't know what they wanted to discuss.

Me, too. They just told me they had something to tell me,

and they're all coming here.

What do you think of this place?

I think it's fine.

Under the coconut trees?

The coconuts might drop on unsuspecting people.

We're going to first ask permission from the owner of this area.

Then maybe they will allow us

to fell a couple of trees around here.

That's possible,

but we're not sure they will let us cut down some of the trees.

This winery's owned by old man Kanor.

And it would be a shame to cut the trees down, don’t you think?

That's true.

Okay, let's find a different spot.

What if somewhere near the beach?

I wonder if it's okay.

What?! Are you sure about your plan?

Lately it seems we're just fighting over a small catch.

Besides, we've thought it through.

The foreigners are patrolling those waters.

Do you want to get killed?

Have you forgotten what happened to Caloy?

We don't have enough information about what happened

to Caloy and his mates, do we?

That old tale's just meant to scare us.

Whether or not that's true, you are still courting danger.

Why, every day we hear issues about those goddamned Chinese on the radio!

Are you using your head, Erning?

You know that your boats won't be able to handle it.

You might even have a run-in with the law!

They will call you out!

You'd be going beyond the Municipality Fishing Ground.

What makes you say we can't handle it?

And another thing, who among us has never broken a fishing ordinance?

Haven't we all?

Captain, Uncle, maybe we can make it work.

Didn't my father use the same type of boat back then?

Look what happened to him.

It was a storm that got Berto, Badong!

Uncle, Captain, it was a bad fishing month.

What more in the coming days?

I just hope you're not rushing into things.

We're not lacking in resources on this island just yet.

I agree!

Not just yet, but you must have noticed that

the fish out there are getting fewer and fewer.

It's just a matter of time before we run out.

We're all aware, that because of landslides,

logging operations in the mountains,

and illegal quarrying, ocean habitats are disrupted.

Where would we fish then? Where do we get our livelihood?

There is nothing I can do if you have made up your minds.

We're just telling you what we're feeling, Badong,

because you're the leader of our association.

But our families have needs.

Obet's about to have his own family now, too.

It's up to you. When are you leaving?

Old man Badong!

Look what you've done!

What did I do?

You'll drag all of us!

Captain.

Why would you be dragged into it?

Old man Erning.

I'm the Captain here.

That's enough, we'll talk about it.

Let's go over there.

Segunda,

have I become so useless in this barangay?

Vice president…

Sure, Erning is the vice president,

but I am the president.

Who should have the last word?

You, of course.

Well, then, that's enough wine for tonight, yes?

Let, make some coffee.

Make it quick. Just a cup.

And bring over your uncle's medicine.

To be honest, I'm very upset.

I know.

Here, mother.

Bring it here.

Drink this, just a sip- to refresh yourself.

Please, just a sip.

There we go…

Good man.

Obet,

maybe we could postpone our plan to go farther out.

Domeng,

I have my own family now.

I need to earn my keep.

If you think about it, the Captain has a point.

You know what happened to your father.

Domeng, we don't know if the same thing's going to happen to us.

That's in the past. It was a long time ago.

This is our only hope.

This is it.

And old man Erning is right-

when are we going to do something about it?

Sure we have reserves now, but we don't know if we can keep up.

We haven't had a good catch in a month.

For how long can we make it last?

Domeng, you sound like you're having second thoughts.

Don’t you want to come with us?

Don't worry, my mates will talk it over.

Domeng loves hearing his voice, huh.

You haven't seen him drunk yet. He's a riot.

Are you sure you'll be safe?

You know, old man Erning's done it many times.

The captain and the others don't know that.

What about you, have you gone outside the Municipal Fishing Ground?

Not yet.

But others have been doing it.

A lot of us are breaking the law.

Just think about it this way, Nerisa,

if we keep catching large quantities of fish,

we'll be able to buy our own boat.

To be honest, I don't want to join old man Erning's mates.

I want to create my own group.

Goddamn!

It doesn't matter if our people die out there

as long as the whole country doesn't get bombed!

I agree with you. We're the best, my friend!

Where in the world can you find,

that with so many other allies, you had to pick your worst neighbor

to take charge of your resources,

your family, your security!

You even gave them projects at our military bases!

That sounds great for national security!

Give them our strategical place, have them build a casino

or whatever the hell they want in the name of development, my friend!

My goodness, you’d even have to —

Hey, Domeng! Wake up! The sun's up!

Go home. Your wife's probably wondering where you are by now.

Goddamnit.

- Hey… - What?

Pay me!

Hold on a second.

You might run off like last time.

No, I won't.

Your coffee's ready.

My wife works so hard.

I found this in the sea a long time ago.

This is for you.

Nerisa,

that's the only photograph I have of myself. Take care of it.

Old man Cisco!

How's the morning catch?

Not much.

See you around.

It's all smokescreen!

Our own people begging for justice in our own country!

Don't lean against that too much.

You might rip the table in half! It's made in China!

You know what I think, my friend?

We should content ourselves with our 12 miles.

That's the only area they're guarding now, anyway.

To our fishermen friends listening,

Don't get too far into the ocean, okay?

They won’t be on your side when something happens.

You know how it is.

If your boat gets rammed and you didn't catch it on video,

you blew your chances.

If the marine habitats have been destroyed and overfished,

well, then, put up with a small catch!

There's nothing you can do! We need to back up, or they'll bomb us!

Who knows, maybe next time,

they'll claim those 12 miles as part of their territory!

Suppose when that happens, we'll just cry, huh?

So let's keep cursing at those people in their high offices...

Boying, hurry up!

Relax! Just wait.

Anyway, a stronger force already messed with us before.

Let's just accept that we're being messed with

by our new bestfriend, yes?

Let's forget about the countless fathers, mothers,

husbands and wives, our brothers and sisters —

heroes who gave their lives to fight for our freedom.

That we allowed ourselves to be taken over without putting up a fight.

That's for sure!

What's the matter, Lilet? You're always dawdling.

Walk quickly!

Nerisa!

Staring like a dullard.

Thanks for this, auntie.

Oh, it's nothing. Please, call me 'mother',

since I consider Obet as my own child.

Yes, mother.

If you must know, Badong and I can't have children.

So when Obet's parents passed away-

who were our good friends, we felt responsible for Obet.

He is a nice kid.

It just sort of happened that we became the keepers of children around here.

Like her.

My troublemaking sister left her daugher with me.

My sister ran away from here. I don't know where she's gone.

I'm telling you, your mother's up to no good,

I don't know what happened to her.

That's fish vinegar stew. Obet's favorite.

You should learn how to cook that-

How dare you!

How dare you!

You killed my husband! You monster!

Calm down!

How dare you! I knew you were the scourge on this island!

You're the scourge on this island!

You killed my husband!

Cut it out, Merced. Get a hold of yourself.

Calm down!

Ito! What's this about?

What is happening? Huh?

Something terrible happened, Miss Segunda.

We've been in touch with Coast Guard since yesterday.

They found parts of a boat floating out West.

The fishermen only found these.

The records show that the boat is registered to this island.

Where is Obet?

Ma'am.

No body hasn't been retrieved.

Only the wood was found floating around.

We've searched around, but...

We haven't found a body yet.

What? There's no body?

Enough.

This is your fault!

Stop that, Merced! Calm yourself down!

Monster!

We understand what you're going through.

Investigations are underway.

What else is there to investigate?

It's clear that my husband's boat was rammed

and I'm sure whoever did it aren't from here!

We have no proof that foreigners are involved.

The ocean is vast, Merced.

What proof do you need?

The men are missing and none of them have come back!

Those torn up pieces of wood, that's your proof!

Sir...

I want to know if someone's still out there looking for my husband?

The Coast Guard are searching for him as we speak, Nerisa.

Ma'am, please understand. Search and rescues take time.

And should we find his body-

Body? How can you be sure that my husband's already dead?

Body?

What 'body' are you talking about?

Sir, my husband's still alive!

So don't talk about him as if he's dead!

Please calm yourselves.

Let's admit that our fishermen chose not to heed our advice.

They still went far into the sea.

Now you're pinning the blame on them?

My husband is missing!

The sea is ours!

It shouldn't matter where we fish! Why don't you call them out?

Who's 'them'?

- There's an ongoing investigation, Domeng. - Investigation? That's all you know!

Nothing ever happens with your investigations!

Bring our husbands back!

Whoever did this should answer to their crimes!

Please calm down.

Hear me out.

Those who have lost their loved ones will be compensated with a small amount

and a boat that they can pay in installments

so you're not robbed of a livelihood.

We don't need a boat!

What I need is my husband!

I think they're just telling us they're out searching for Obet, but it's not true.

What would I do with a boat?

Mother, it's Obet I need.

The same thing happened to Itoy, Fernan, and Estong.

They're good friends of mine who also perished at sea.

Badong…

That's enough.

I will ask the Coast Guard for help. I know Obet's still alive.

You heard what the Coast Guard said, didn't you?

Why don't you just accept that Obet's gone?

I want to at least see Obet's body.

And embrace him, even if he's dead.

I will help find him.

I've been warning Obet about going too far out in the ocean.

There you go. They didn't want to be told.

I also told Erning that it wasn't going to be that easy,

especially since the ocean's become more unpredictable these days.

I don't know, bro.

I'm sorry about what happened to them.

I wonder if things would have been different if I had gone with them.

Son of a bitch.

Balong, can you serve us more snacks?

I believe that Obet's still alive.

Joni, I need your help.

Bro, should I have tried harder to stop them?

I think I did all that I could. I only told them the right thing.

They shouldn't take it against me if I didn't go with them, right?

Captain, I need your help.

What is it this time?

Not me, it's Nerisa.

Huh?

What kind of help does she need?

She needs to speak with the Coast Guard.

Coast Guard?

Well, then… I will help her.

- Love! - Yeah?

Love!

Somebody's just asking me find their missing ducks!

What ducks are you talking about?

Keep your voice down. My wife might hear you.

I will help her, but…

I want something in return.

You pervert. What are you thinking?

You can have me instead.

You?

I want to taste a new delicacy.

What is taking so long?

I won't be long now!

I'll send them home right now! Alright?

So, do we have a deal?

You know what, nevermind.

Damn you, shithead! Pervert!

Come on.

Did you think I'll do it for free?!

Shithead! Pervert!

Damn you too!

Get out of here!

Love! I'm coming in, Love!

My Caloy is so horny.

Caloy? The one with the missing hand?

Yes, he owns this boat!

Imagine, we've been at it three times and he still wants another round!

I told him, "you're a sex-addict!"

Stop that.

What, are there any virgins left these days?

Hey, Lilet! Aren't you and Michael fooling around yet?

I'm telling you, Lilet, all men-

they all want the same thing from us!

They want us to open our legs like this, look!

Not all men are like that!

Oh, why?

If you spread your thighs,

doesn't your husband kneel before you?

That's how we control them.

All cocks are the same,

thick ones, small ones, hairy, or bald ones-

they all worship one thing.

It doesn't matter if they're from here or from Manila.

You've been to Manila, Joni?

Yeah, but only for a week.

Why, do you want to go to Manila, Lilet?

I was hoping I could.

To look for my mother.

Forget about that.

Why, do you miss your mom?

Yes, but when I do, I just tell myself she's inside me.

Wherever I go, whatever I'm doing, she's with me.

Joni, stop the boat.

Obet!

Obet!

Obet!

Obet!

Nerisa.

Obet!

Big sis…

Obet!

Obet!

Big sis…

Sit down for a second.

We were ratted out.

They said, we stole a boat.

That's why they looked for us.

The people who found us seem like nice people.

They managed to help us talk to the Lieutenant.

You can go in now.

Thank you sir.

Come with me.

I'm not allowed.

Go ahead.

Get in. It's okay.

Sit inside.

Hello. Yes.

Yes. Give me around two hours.

Alright then.

Is this your husband?

Yes, sir.

I'm hoping you could help me.

The Coast Guard already spoke to me.

Okay, I'll help you find him.

Thank you, sir.

Did you get here all by yourselves?

I admire women who would do everything for their husbands.

Have you been married long?

Just recently sir.

Are you from there?

No, sir.

Where are you from?

I don't know.

Why don't you know?

I hope you can help me.

I thought you'd do anything for your husband.

By this time,

if your husband's still alive,

he'd be floating out at sea.

Scared, exhausted, hungry.

How long do you think he'll last?

Only we have the resources to look for him,

if I command it.

If not,

your husband will probably die.

Come here.

Over here.

What's it going to be?

There we go.

That's what I like.

Right here.

The lieutenant promised to help Nerisa

and will have his people search for Obet.

But even before we got off the boat,

rumours have begun to reach the island about what happened inside that office.

Some of the coast guards gossiped amongst themselves.

Auntie Merced let the fire spread.

And because of it, we experienced the cruelty of our own people.

Because of my friendship with Nerisa and Joni,

Aunt Segunda and Uncle Badong treated me even worse than they did before.

They looked down on us, on me…

they considered me no better than them.

Baseless accusations and imagined stories.

But through all this hardship,

fate made our friendship stronger.

Give my regards to Hilda.

Why are people the way they are, Michael?

Why are they so quick to judge me?

What did I do wrong?

I don't believe in what they're saying anyway.

All I know is you're helping out Nerisa.

And you're not the girl everyone thinks you are.

What's Manila like, Michael?

Manila?

There are a lot cars, concrete buildings, it's big but it's crowded.

I want to see it for myself, too.

Why?

Aren't you happy here?

I want to find my mother.

Big bro Obet!

Obet is alive, the sea brought him back to us.

Our prayers have been heard…

Nerisa's wish has been granted.

Good morning, pals and neighbors.

This is old man Johnny Manzano of DZKK at your service!

This morning, we'll discuss another hot topic.

This project that's getting all hyped up

The lieutenant told me to give this back.

A project we're pouring hundreds of millions,

all for the sake of progress.

Let's find out whose progress and interests it's really pushing forward.

My neighbors, we are all for progress.

But I think you're aware of our long-standing issue with reclamation.

You've seen examples of its effects everywhere.

Nevermind the long-term effects with climate change.

Do you remember- I gave you this?

Don't ever give it to anybody else.

And never let anyone else touch it.

I only asked for his help.

Help?

What's the matter?

You are mine alone, Nerisa.

You're still listening to DZXL Express

This is Ronnie Ramos and Demos Sosa.

Next week we are going to witness what's called a "Super Blood Moon"

or a "Total Lunar Eclipse".

You've heard of this, partner. It's the astronomical phenomenon

wherein the moon moves into the Earth's shadow.

But it won't be black. The moon will turn a reddish color.

Two pieces, okay. Put two in each pack.

Take some from this bunch.

It's an exciting event we should all watch out for, dear listeners.

- That sounds amazing, my friend. - Yes it does, my friend.

And did you know that back in the old days,

a blood moon was considered an evil foreboding?

Bad omen. But of course it's already 2021, and we think differently.

Once again, this is Ronnie Ramos and Demos Sosa.

Let's go back to our earlier discussion pertaining to the West Philippine Sea.

Yes, let's go back to that… goddamnit!

You're about to lose your temper again.

Our fishermen are helpless because they're encroaching on our territory.

We're being driven out of our own seas.

Oh! A balding horse! What the heck!

Badong, for Christ's sake!

You keep breaking our radios!

Just switch it off!

Damn Chinese.

He listens to the radio and throws it when he gets pissed off.

You think you're rich or something?

We're good.

Here's what I owe you.

No, it's okay.

Ah, so this is where the sluts hang out.

You said it.

There's the other one. Young blood!

Shouldn't young men go for untouched young ladies?

Oh dear.

What can I say, since she started hanging out with the whore and the mermaid,

she got converted.

Right you are. My god.

You know what, I think you just miss your husbands.

What did she say?

Huh? Did you say something?

What did you say?

I said,

too bad 'cause your husbands were among my horniest customers.

If you have time,

we can sit down if you like.

Cunt to cunt.

You crazy bitch!

Slut!

Wait! Stop!

Please wait!

Don't. Let them be.

Big sis! What's going on!

How dare you!

Big sis! Stop this!

Stop it!

Let's go, Merced.

Don't go down to her level, let's go.

Please, stop this!

Madwoman!

You're nothing but a whore!

- Ignore her! - You're crazy!

You're a whore!

I'm a whore, so what! You're just jealous!

You're a whore!

Green-eyed bitch! You're just jealous!

Come on! Let's go!

You're just jealous!

Whore!

How dare her!

I hate her.

I'm ready to go with you to Manila.

I have some money saved up.

We can use it while we're looking for your mother.

Are you sure?

What about your family here?

We can always go back here, right?

This island's not going anywhere.

Just tell me when you want to go.

Is that it?

Yes, why?

Is it supposed to be that quick?

Yeah.

Hey wait!

This should have been the happiest moment in Nerisa and Obet's lives,

but it will be replaced by anger and bitterness.

Because on this island, no secret remains hidden,

all secrets unravel in time.

There are no stories that don't get dredged up.

Nerisa.

Is it true?

Is it?

I'm talking to you. Is it true?

Huh?

Is that how it happened?

Answer me! Is it true?!

Huh?

I only did it for you.

For me-

Damn it!

Damn it!

What the hell!

Son of a bitch!

Damn it!

Damn it!

Obet?

Obet…

Damn it!

You're a whore!

You're a dirty woman, Screw you!

Whore!

You're a whore!

Whore!

Whore!

Whore!

You're a whore!

You're a whore!

Damn it!

Many of our listeners will relate to this.

I'm sure you sometimes feel a certain loneliness.

A tinge of uncertainty creeps in about someone we love.

It's a natural thing.

Even couples who are together experience this.

If we think about it, nothing in life is certain.

All we can do is to cherish and hold on to what we have now.

Here it is.

Obet, your wife's coming.

Ignore her.

I've got just the thing for that, bro.

Here.

What are you doing here?

You've been drunk for days.

Let's go home.

Go home.

Obet, if there's something we need to talk about-

What do we need to talk about?

Huh?

What?

Bro, your shot.

Cheers!

Folks on this island-

they've always stayed the same.

Pour me another one.

Who they are now is what they've always been.

Cowards.

They're afraid to face up to their weaknesses.

Like my husband.

Exactly.

He failed to see the sacrifice you made for him.

It's funny how he'd rather focus on his wounded male ego than understand.

How could you call that love?

Where is love in that?

This is why I never got married.

I don't want to get my hopes up.

I don't want to get chained up with men like that.

Women are not fish to be encircled and trapped in their nets,

our gills removed,

grilled, and served with drinks.

Wait here.

Nerisa!

Prepare some snacks for us! The captain's here!

Hurry up!

Captain!

Here we are, hey!

What are you doing? Come in.

Obet!

Yeah?

Looks like you had a headstart!

Yes, I don't know what time we started.

We started this morning, captain.

What? Morning? That explains how you look.

You look like you need of sleep.

Do I look wasted? Nah, I can still drink some.

You'll be crawling back home at this rate.

Give the bottle to me.

I can still drink, captain.

Domeng can hold his liquor.

Glasses.

The glasses!

My favorite coconut wine!

Hurry up with the snacks.

I'm starving!

Obet, thank you.

Obet,

I'm here because I want to join the celebration for your return!

I'm glad you made it out alive.

Right on!

My wife doesn't know that I'm here.

I'll be in trouble!

I told her, "I won't drink. I promise!"

"I really won't!"

Captain, promise me this.

We'll always stick together, okay?

Of course! That's why I'm here!

So, we all know we're all married now, correct?

Ah, captain.

Yeah.

I wanted to ask you,

how many children do you have?

Three!

Three?

I'm serious. I have three.

You're weak!

You only have three children?

Wait, wait. Obet here doesn't even have a kid yet.

Weak!

Better get a move on, Obet. Somebody might cut in line!

Why? What is it?

Bro, relax!

I thought you were--

Wine should go straight to your belly, not in your head!

Jeremy!

I'm out.

Jeremy! Please watch what you say.

Things like that don't belong to the drinking table.

Am I right?

I apologize for that, Obet.

Cheers.

Let's keep drinking.

Hey, hey, I'll do it.

Domeng can hold his liquor.

Let's pour him a drink. A high shot. There we go.

Fill him up. Make sure he can still walk home.

This is for you, captain.

Thank you.

For me.

And of course, here it comes…

Here it is.

That looks delicious. Smells good.

Feast on that.

Looks special.

It's good.

Okay, let's have a taste.

I can smell how good it is.

It's good! Tastes good.

It's cooked well.

Right on time.

Walking all the way from the other barrio got my tummy rumbling.

I thought you were hungry? Come on, dig in!

Go ahead.

Jeremy, let me ask you a question.

How did you get your name?

My name?

Mm.

No, you see, my father's from a different country.

Foreigner.

My mother's from here.

My mother said, we should name him Jeremy.

Do you follow?

It was supposed to be, "Jerry",

but I wasn't much of an English speaker so I said,

"Jerry? Me? Jere-me!"

Great stuff!

That's a good one!

Jerry.

Jerry! Jerry!

Me!

Me!

What about you, Captain, where'd you get your name?

Well, milk fish!

The story goes, when my mother was pregnant with me,

she craved for nothing but… milk fish !

But when she saw me, she said,

Heavy breathing,

"Hito! Ito!"

I was called "Ito" from then on.

I have the same color, too.

A toast for the safe return of our friend Obet!

And for our fishing mates,

Erning and Boying.

Erning, Boying.

Erning, Boying, this is for you!

That's okay, Domeng.

Back to your face.

I'm fine.

Let's talk about your face.

I remember Boying with a penis this small!

He did grow some… a little bit!

Boying, forgive us, Boying!

Rest in peace.

This is for you.

Old man Erning!

I hope you're both in heaven.

The captain and I used to drink with them too.

Cheers!

Let's have another toast!

Captain, are you still good?

Obet!

Can you keep up?

When haven't I?

I'm only getting started.

I'm pouring the drink high.

Many thanks to you, Jeremy!

For old man Erning! And for Boying!

This one's for me.

Jeremy!

Wait, do you know where I got my name from?

Where?

Domeng-su!

Was he your mother's favorite? She loved that show?

Yes, that's me, Dao Ming Su.

Dao Ming Su was my mother's favorite.

That's why I'm called Domeng.

Obet!

Obet!

Obet!

Be quiet!

Hurry up! Hurry!

Obet!

This won't take long.

I'm coming!

Your turn.

Nerisa!

Nerisa! Don't!

Nerisa! Don't!

Help! Help!

Nerisa! Please!

Help!

Nerisa! Stop!

Obet!

Obet!

Son!

Jeez, these kids, leaving their lanterns on--

Obet!

Obet!

Obet, son?

Jesus Christ!

Obet!

Obet!

My son! Obet! Where are you?!

Oh god!

Obet! My son!

Obet…

Nerisa?

You killed Obet! You wicked woman!

You're a monster!

Obet!

Obet, my son!

You're a wicked woman!

Monster! Murderer!

Badong!

Badong!

Badong!

What? What happened?

Badong!

Badong! Something happened to Obet!

Calm down.

It's Obet!

What happened?

What?!

- It's Obet, Badong! - What happened to him?

Obet… he's dead!

What?!

Did I hear you right?

Who was it? Who killed him?

Obet was killed…

Where are they?

…by Nerisa!

Nerisa murdered Obet!

Hey! Run to Ito. Tell him Obet's been murdered!

Go quickly!

Yes, sir!

I'm going with them!

Segunda! Wait!

Segunda!

Hey!

Joni!

Joni!

Nerisa!

Nerisa, what happened to you?

What happened to you? What's with all this blood?

What happened to you?!

I killed Obet!

You killed him?

Why-?

Why, what happened?

Wait! Wait there! You need to-

Get changed upstairs! Hurry!

Be quick, Nerisa!

Hurry!

Hurry up!

Obet's dead!

He was killed by that wicked woman, Nerisa!

What?! Someone died!

- Obet's dead! - Who died?!

I knew that woman was trouble!

She's a pest! A monster!

Ito, where the hell are you?!

Ito!

We need to find that wretched woman!

Ito!

Maria Isabel, where's your husband?

Well, he hasn't been back home since last night.

What is happening?

It's Nerisa…

She killed Obet and Domeng.

Oh god…

Where is Nerisa?

She was at the beach. I don't know if she's still there.

What? Let's go find her!

Come on.

Gabriel!

Miss Segunda! What's wrong?

Have you seen Ito?

No, I haven't. Why?

Nerisa murdered Obet!

- What?! - And Domeng, too.

I saw Nerisa at Joni's!

Come on, let's go find her!

Nerisa, tell me everything that happened.

I killed Obet!

Why?! Why did you kill him?

He let Domeng, Jeremy, and Captain Ito rape me!

How can I help you?

Here they come!

Nerisa! Come with me!

Get back here!

- Nerisa! - You're the devil!

Get back here!

Nerisa!

Hey! Nerisa!

Quickly!

You shameless wench!

Come here!

Murderer! Monster!

Come here, Nerisa!

Nerisa!

Quickly! Go after her!

Nerisa!

Hurry!

Run faster, Nerisa!

Nerisa!

You're a monster!

Hurry! Hurry!

Nerisa!

You monster! Die, Nerisa!

Get back here!

You're a monster!

Die, monster!

Die, monster!

Monster! Die!

Nerisa, come back here!

Nerisa!

Come back here!

Nobody knows where Nerisa disappeared to.

Like her arrival, her leaving was just as mysterious.

Some say they did catch her in the end.

Some say she's over at the other island and took on a new name.

Maybe she'll bring the same ill luck there, too.

The others say she got killed while trying to get away.

As for me, I know what happened to her.

She went back to her real home, underwater.

Her own people finally found her,

and she has found herself.

I think I understand now what the sea is trying to say.
