Night of Terror

Melissa. You will rise.

I command you! Rise.

I will leave you here.

The town is on the other end of this cemetery.

I have chosen this place because I am certain you will be filled

with the fresh blood of people who know nothing of our kind.

In that town, the people are kind and compassionate

Take advantage of that, but be careful, as well.

I shall return for you before the sun is fully round in the sky.

Do you already know what you need, Melissa?

-Yes, my lord. -Then go forth.

What is it, Chief? What happened to Tisio?

Mayor, he was found dead at Dencio's haystack.

Doctor, what is the cause of death?

I don't know yet, Mayor, but based on my diagnosis...

there are no physical signs of injury that could indicate his death.

Maybe he had a heart ailment.

I'm sure he didn't Mayor. He had a checkup at the Center recently.

What's strange is he's completely drained of blood.

Drained of blood?

Yes, Mayor. And the only signs I found are these two small holes in his neck.

that look like they were punctured by two sharp objects.

How strange!

Drained of blood!

Kiko! What happened to this net?

It got caught in Old Man Bastian's fish pen.

Got caught? You should be more careful!

How are we supposed to use this net now?

Who are you talking about? Kiko?

Yes. -He's really a mess-up!

He's always drunk. When the sun comes up, even his lungs are burning.

Now look at him...even at work he's just stumbling around.

Hey, come and eat. Try this dish that I cooked.

-Celso, Kiko. Go eat first. -He's off quickly!

No one beats you to the table, huh?

Hm. What an amazing taste.

It's so good! It tastes like... tastes like... -Tastes like what?

Tastes like biko (sticky rice cake)

You idiot! You're eating biko!

You know Lita, what he means is...

It isn't enough for him and you should give him more.

Oh no worries. There's lots more upstairs.

You heard that? There's lots more but that's biko, you idiot.

You might choke.

Don't worry. It might get stale but it'll get eaten.

We can do it.

Hey! Mang Ambo.

-Aren't you eating? -Go ahead. I had some earlier.

-Hey. What's happened to you? -Water. Water.

Water. Get him water. You glutton.

-Come here! Get some water! -Why?

Kiko is choking.

Mang Ambo. Look at him.

-W...Water. -That's what I'm telling you.

When it comes to gluttony, you're the best...

...but when it comes to work, you're worthless.

Big sis, I don't like that Kiko anymore. He's such a glutton.

Oh, why'd you get fed up?

Here. Drink up!

That's what I'm telling you. You're such a glutton!

-You ate too quickly. -There. It's over.

-It's gone. -This stupid kid...

Now come on. Hurry up. Let's get back to work.

Good day, ma'am.

-Good day, Miss. -Are you Mang Ambo?

That's me. How can I help you?

Come in. Come in.

What is it, ma'am. What is it that you really need?

I came to this town to find a place to stay.

I have an illness and I need to rest.

I also need away from the chaotic city.

I think this town is perfect for my recovery.

The air is cool, it's quiet, and the view is quite nice.

Somebody told me that I might be able to stay here, at your house.

That there are only three of you here.

Ah, that's right. It's only me and my two children who live here.

-The only thing is... -What is it? Is it the payment?

-I'll pay whatever you want. -No, no. It's not about that.

I'm just worried that our home won't be right for you.

I'm fine with your home, but you must give me my own room,

and I will ask for nothing else.

Are you still going to refuse me?

No ma'am. If you are convinced that you'll be happy with what little we have

than we gladly accept you into our home.

-Thank you very much. -You're welcome.

Lita!

Please come in.

-Lita. Clean up your room for our guest. -Yes sir.

Celso. She's really beautiful, isn't she?

This is the first time I've seen a woman that beautiful.

That's no surprise. You're an idiot.

Hey you two. Help me.

That Celso...

-May you bring me somewhere? -Where?

I don't exactly know the place, but I can point it out to you.

It might be far. And I'm already on my way home.

Can you stand leaving me here to walk home alone?

I'm not from around here...

and I can pay you whatever price you want.

All right. Get in.

You know, Melissa...

Ever since I was widowed,

I swore on the grave of the one I love

that I will never remarry.

But when I saw your beauty,

my oath fell apart.

Uncle, I'm just going to get the rope.

-Dad, here's the rope. -Put it on the bench.

I feel ashamed, Celso, for having you work like this.

Don't worry about me. You're the one I worry about.

You're always working. Day and night, always working.

But don't worry. All that's almost over.

Why?

-My luck's coming in. -What luck?

Luck! Haven't you heard?

You know that my grandmother Tina in Manila?

My grandmother who's the aunt of my grandfather?

-Who? -The millionaire. She's about to die.

-Her lawyer said she's leaving something to me. -Doña Espina?

-Yes yes that's her! -You brute.

You're praying for her to die just so you can get rich.

Praying? Can you pray for a person who wants to die? Can I stop her?

What can I do if she's really going to die? She's already old.

Why wouldn't I want that? You have no faith in me.

I have plenty of rich relatives in Manila.

I just don't like going to visit them.

Look here, Melissa. You know I'm the mayor of this town.

Tell me what it is you want. You want some milkfish?

Big fat milkfish. You want some catfish? Big fat catfish? Tilapia?

Large tilapia! Fat ones, too!

I know you need those, because you have an illness.

Thank you very much.

Melissa. I've haven't done anything yet and you're already thanking me.

Please allow me to serve you.

Mayor. Please don't worry.

Someday soon, I will need you as well.

There! That what I like. Telling me right away.

You know, Enteng. I'm really dead for Miss Melissa.

I really really like her. But don't tell your dad or Lita.

-I'm embarrassed. -Okay, okay. Then I won't.

Everyday, I wait for her.

On Sundays, I wait for her at Church, but it turns out that she doesn't go.

-Why doesn't she leave the house? -I don't know.

We're wondering why she doesn't talk to us, too

She's always alone in her room.

I'm telling you Enteng. When she goes out, I'll be right beside her.

and then I'll court her. I'm sure I'll get her.

-You? Court her? -Believe me! We all have our type.

I know I'll get her.

-You know, Kiko. She does go out. -Huh? She does? Where?

At midnight. While everyone's gone and sleeping.

At midnight? She goes out?

Hey...Enteng.

Is it really true that she goes out at midnight?

Yeah. You don't believe me?

When I get my inheritance...

I'm going to buy you some nice clothes.

I'm going to buy you a palatial home. And a shiny new car.

Whatever you want! And when your birthday comes around,

I'm going to give you...

I bet you're going to get me a rock and a paddle for laundry again.

Look at this. That's your problem. You have no faith in me.

You're the only one! Your father loves me!

Then give him a gift.

What a pain.

Believe me. When I get rich, wherever you want.

I'll bring you to Europe. To America. To tswi--Switzerland!

Wherever you want to go, I'll bring you there.

You just have to say it. And that's not all!

-I'll get you a caretaker. -Of what?

A caretaker of what else? Of our child!

-Right away? -Of course.

-You wicked... -Ow. My eye!

It hurts! I'm blind! You blinded me!

Mang Ambo! She's given me a bath!

That mayor. He's always been a bit of a playboy.

And he's also a widower. And also...

-the word is that the ground has ears -Well said.

Why are you shivering?

-I don't feel so good Mang Ambo. -Oh this kid. He's probably drunk again.

His lungs are probably burning.

If I had taken a drink, then at least, my body would be warm.

Whatever the case, you're not coming with us.

I'll just go with you tomorrow.

Enteng. My sombrero.

And tell your sister that we've already left. -Yes sir.

Enteng. Is Miss Melissa sleeping already?

How should I know? We're not allowed in her room.

Okay. What you told me about her leaving at midnight is true, right?

How tiring, saying it over and over.

I already told you it's true.

Hey Enteng. Why aren't you sleeping yet?

Ah, Lita.

-Why didn't you go with dad? -I don't feel so good.

-Hot tea is good for that. -I'll have it at home.

Enteng come in already.

Melissa!

I know this is a sin, but...

I can't stop myself any longer. I've waited a long time for this.

I love you, Melissa.

Kiko! My son. Why did you leave me?

Aling Maria. Please stay calm.

Let us just pray for his soul.

Carias was the first. And Tisio was the second.

And now, Kiko. Doctor, our town is in danger.

We need to stop this evil.

It's clear to me, Mayor.

That this creature has no other purpose but to suck

the fresh blood of human.

I will leave, right now.

I have come for you now.

If there is anything left for you to do you must do it quickly.

because we shall be going to another town.

Your will be done, my lord.

I shall return to town to feast on the virgin blood of Lita.

I shall be waiting.

Miss Melissa. Who were you talking to earlier?

His clothes were really nice. Who was he?

Miss Melissa!

Miss Melissa!

Dad! It's Miss Melissa!

Celso! Go after her! Make sure she doesn't get Lita!

Enteng?

Enteng? Enteng?

Let go of me!

Lord God. Thank you for saving me.

What happened? I was told that Melissa is a monster.

I only know that through God's grace I managed to escape her.

-You stay here here. I'll follow her. -Don't! She's wild and she'll kill you!

It doesn't matter! We need to destroy that beast!

If we don't, many people will die.

-More than one person can know. -Don't!

Celso!

Beginning today, this woman will be able to find peace inside her grave.

Because God has willed that the power of the evil spirit

be purged from her human body.

Amen.

Rise, Arnulfo.

Rise! Avenge the wrongs done to us. Avenge us!

Carina what is it? What's happening to you?

-What is it? What's happening? -Mommy! Mommy!

Mommy!

Nanding don't leave me!

What's happening to you?

Nanding...it feels like someone's pulling on my foot.

Crazy. It was probably just a dream.

No, Nanding! I'm not dreaming. I can feel it...

But...you have no wounds!

Dad. Over there! There's lots of blood!

Nanding! What's happening to us? I think we're being haunted!

Don't be afraid. Pray. I will not leave you.

Nanding! Why did the lights go out?

Dad! The window!

-Whatever that is, I better grab a weapon. -Be careful!

The hand! It's right behind you! Nanding!

Who are you? What is it that you want?

I am Arnulfo! The one that you killed!

I am the man whose hand you cut off, and killed without remorse! -No!

I have done nothing wrong! I did not kill you!

-It was Rafael! -I know you were with him when he killed me!

And now, you will pay!

No! Don't!

I am going to kill you!

I'm going to kill all of you!

No! Don't!

By the mercy of God! Begone!

Hey Paeng. Marshall's been waiting for you. Aren't you going to play?

Can't you see I'm flat broke?

It looks like your girl isn't getting any clients anymore.

She's good looking enough,

-but she's got a mouth, and she doesn't stick around. -Shut up.

Did you mention the beauty? What a waste, that Ballerina Arnulfo killed.

She had Johns for miles.

Oh hey, Paeng. Are you the guy they're talking about at the docks?

Why would they be talking about me?

It's no secret between us that you're the one who killed Arnulfo.

So what? I was just sticking my neck out for that girl.

And now they're going to be talking about me?

Yes, you're right, but I heard that Arnulfo knew something about curses.

No it's true. You can't escape that guy.

You idiots. Instead of trying to scare me, why don't you scare each other?

Has there ever been a dead guy who came back to life?

You guys are really dumb.

You. You are the one who killed the woman.

Not my son!

You are going to pay! You will pay!

Hey old hag. Don't piss me off or I'll throw you off the bridge.

You will pay!

Will you let go of me?!

I'm going home. I have a headache.

What? You've got a headache? Excuses, excuses.

Get over here.

Come here.

Come on. Get in here.

Come on. Come here for a sec.

Ever since I started bringing you around I've had nothing but bad luck.

How much did you earn? How much?!

-I'm begging you. I can't do this work anymore. -Shut up!

What are you waiting for? What do you want to happen? I marry you?

I will be useful to you, Paeng.

I'll do anything you ask. Just don't make me go back there.

Hey. Have you forgotten that you're the one who wanted to be with me?

-It was you. -Because I love you. I love you.

If you really love me, prove it.

You'll put up with the work, and keep us funded.

-I can't change my mind. -Why you...

Who's the demon knocking on the door?

What a life.

Didn't you hear someone knocking?

Hey! Whatever you are, animal or demon,

show yourself. Don't make me stand here like an ass.

What's happening to this life?

Paeng...

Rafael! Don't leave me! I'm scared!

You're afraid? Will you stop that? I'm right here.

There's someone at the window!

Begone, you evil spirit! Leave us alone!

I AM ARNULFO!

-I'M GOING TO KILL YOU! -Begone!

Begone! (Unintelligible)

Begone! Leave us! Leave this place!

-Forgive me! -You are a coward, Rafael!

A coward will die slowly!

No! Don't, Arnulfo!

No! Forgive me!

Don't Arnulfo!!

Oh man...

I believe that the dead can rise.

That's what I've been telling those dock boys.

Arnulfo was going to get his revenge.

He knew things about black magic.

Look at his mother. Doesn't she look like the mother of a warlock?

-What should we do? -I'm afraid. Please help us.

Don't be afraid! There are ways.

I'm just worried for my baby.

I've already given medicine to the baby.

He'll get better.

Didn't you say the hands went through the stairs?

And it opens the windows?

I got it. This is what you need to do.

Get two candles.

Place them on the corners of your stairs.

And after that... you should kneel.

Don't let the lights go out. Day or night!

That's impossible! How can they not go out? The wind is too strong.

That's why you have to look after them!

-How long am I supposed to guard them? - Tonight until dawn.

It's not that we don't believe, but I don't think he can do what you ask.

Well if you can't do it, then we're done! These kids today!

-Sir, I just came from your house. -Why?

-Is this about Arnulfo? -Yes sir!

Well that's your problem now.

-What is it Paeng? -Arnulfo! He came last night.

-His hands? -Yeah. And he spoke to me. I recognized his voice.

It was him!

You need to go to his grave.

You're the one who killed him.

But...it's so dark there.

Don't worry! The moon will be bright tonight.

Don't Narding. Don't go through with this. I'm afraid!

Let's get out here. I'm scared.

We need to know the truth.

Nanding...why is his coffin outside?

Arnulfo's corpse isn't here.

And there are bloody handprints.

He's been dead for a while.

Yes. It's been a while since you killed me!

You are going to pay!

I WILL KILL YOU BOTH!

I WILL KILL YOU!

-What? -He will pay!

He needs to die!

Arnulfo. Arnulfo!

Fear God!

-Thanks. -Caring, is it true you've decided to stop dancing?

But why? You can earn a lot dancing.

It's a waste. And another thing: Paeng might find out. He'll be furious.

Whatever.

-Okay. -Goodnight.

It's late, and your father's not home yet.

-What could've happened to him? -I'm scared, Mommy. I'm scared.

Don't be afraid, son. Your mother is here.

-Daddy's not here yet. -He'll be here soon.

You better go to bed. Come on.

-You stay here while I lay down the mats. -Don't leave me Mommy!

I'm just going to get the mats!

Pray, Baby. Our father, who art in heaven

hallowed by they name...

-Nanding! It's a good thing that you're here! -What is it?

The ghost of Arnulfo and his hands are here again!

There, by the door.

I'M GOING TO KILL ALL OF YOU!

Wear these rosaries.

While you have a cross on your chests, he cannot harm you.

Arnulfo and I need to have it out.

What are you going to do?

-I'm going to confront him. -Nanding, don't!

Don't worry. Don't be afraid.

Leave it to me.

Arnulfo.

I'm ready to give you my life if that's what's needed to give your soul peace.

All I ask is that you don't harm my family.

Have mercy on them.

Did you show mercy when you killed me?

I was mistaken to think that you were a bad person.

But now that I know the whole truth, that you were unjustly killed.

Rafael is the only one who deserves my revenge.

You can relax now.

Arnulfo will no longer bother us.

Thank God. Let us pray.

Caring! Caring! No! Caring!

I have you now.

No one's ever going to believe us.

They might think you've gone crazy.

Whether they believe me or not, I have to let someone know

that Arnulfo wasn't the one who killed the ballerina. It was Rafael.

-But... -He's the one who deserves to suffer.

But it's late. Can't you just do this tomorrow?

No. You know I have to reveal the whole truth,

or he might come after us again.

Don't leave us, Daddy. The hands might come back.

Arnulfo will not bother us again.

Arnulfo might not bother you, but this- this is what will bother you.

I overheard your conversation.

You're going to right me out, huh?

You can't do what you're planning.

Because I'm going to kill you.

Nanding! Be careful!

Daddy! Daddy!

-Nanding! -Daddy!

You will die, too!

Somebody help Nanding!

People! Please help!

Hey what's happening to Nanding?

It's Rafael! He's going to kill Nanding!

What is it with you kids?

You already know what happened to Arnulfo. It was Rafael!

-Let's go! -Hurry!

-No one come any closer! -Over there!

Get him!

Stay there!

Get away from here!

Or Rafael will you all you!

Get away!

Arnulfo is collecting his debt!

Rafael is going to pay.

-Someone go to Mang Tomas. He'll bring the authorities. -Let's go!

-Nanding, thank God! -Daddy!

My friends! I know you are afraid of that hand.

But don't be! That hand belongs to Arnulfo!

He is here to ask for justice for his wrongful death at the hands of this man.

And do you know who really killed the ballerina?

Him! Rafael!

And not the man that was accused!

That's crazy. I cannot believe you!

Everyone in this town knows that Arnulfo is the murderer.

I know it's difficult to believe

-But I can prove it, if you come with me. -Where?

The cemetery.

Hey! This is the cemetery!

Let me go, Nanding! Have mercy!

Let go of me... I'm afraid...

Let me go!

To finally put your soul at rest... here is Rafael!

You have the power to lay down punishment for his sins against you.

The hand...

This is the proper fate of evil men.

There is no debt that will not be paid.

He's gone.

Now Arnulfo's soul can finally rest in peace.

Everyone get down.

-Aren't you getting out? -No. Ronnie and I are still going somewhere.

-Aren't you coming with us? -Salvi and I are in a hurry.

You guys said you were coming along. Now you're not. You big cowards!

But we're in a hurry!

-You're going to leave us?

-How about us? Who's staying with us? -You'll be fine!

-I mean, it's your grandfather's place, right? -Grandfather?

Yeah. That's what you said.

-Let's go! -Yeah. Okay.

Are you guys really not coming with us?

Those guys are so weak.

What now, Ting? What do you think? Are we still going through with this?

-Didn't you hear what those two said? -It might be better if we don't do this.

Shut up. You're weakening my resolve.

Have you forgotten that there's a treasure hidden in there?

-If we get it, we'll be rich. -I'd rather be poor.

-Go ahead. You go home alone. -No no, I'll come along.

The key's supposed to be with you.

After you.

Let's go!

Yes that one. Try it. There!

That's the right one.

-Was it open? -Did I open it?

-You had the keys -Oh yeah, I must have opened it.

-You opened it. Let's go. -Why are you guys so scared?

Your grandfather's house is really big.

Where do you think the treasure's hidden? Upstairs or downstairs?

It's upstairs, I think. Upstairs.

Well let's go!

What the?

My grandfather told me if we got locked in, they'd open the doors tomorrow.

-What? You mean we're spendign the night here?

-Yeah. Well okay. There's a lot of us here.

Have you guys already forgotten? Riches...death.

You're being scary. You're all being scary. Let's go!

-Bring out your candles!

Light them!

Light them!

-You're all cowards. -Don't fidget!

Ouch! I got burned.

What is it?

We're heading up.

-Sorry -Such a screw up.

-Hey. -What was that? -What's going on?

-It was just him. It's nothing. -You idiot. -Let's go.

-Don't be so noisy! -Is there a ghost? -No!

-Shh. -What's wrong you guys? -Keep quiet!

-What was that? -What is it?

-Where did that come from? -Above, I guess.

There's a library here. Lots of books.

Yeah these are my grandfather's books.

What are we waiting for? We should just sell these.

-It's sure cash. -It's cash, but we're looking for a lot more cash.

Come on let's look for it.

Hey wait a second. Don't go up there. I'll do it.

-What is it? What is it? -They're so big!

-They're gigantic! -What? -The cockroaches!

They're just cockroaches!

You idiot. Let's get out of here.

Let's not wander too far. Let's stay with them.

It's better if we stick together. No matter what happens, we stick together.

He's right. It's getting late.

-Such a scaredy cat. -Oh they're here.

You guys really had to drag me along. I'd rather have been kidnapped.

You make me nervous wherever we go.

Hey what?

What are you all doing here? I thought we were looking for the treasure.

Let's rest for a while. It's supposed to only come out at midnight anyway.

It's better that we stick together here.

If you like, we could stay here 'til morning and not leave.

You had to butt in again.

Hey turn on your radio. It'll help pass the time. Come on.

Oh. Right.

There. That's good. Right.

Right there.

-Oh come on. That's a radio drama. -No no. It's good. Just listen.

Night...of terror!

Night...

You idiots set it to the drama and now you're scared.

-Change the station. -Shit, I'm changing it already.

Yeah. That's good.

-Ronnie, why don't you dance for us? To pass the time. -Dance?

I won't do it alone. If I'm dancing, then everyone should be dancing.

He's right. All of you! Dance!

All of us?

-Hey why aren't you dancing? -I'm dancing!

-You have to dance better! -Dance harder!

-I just want to stay here. -You better dance!

It's gone! Hey, it's gone!

Where did it go?

I told you guys I didn't want to be here.

I think it's still there.

No, it's gone!

-Is it really gone? -I think so.

It's probably eating.

Eating? You jackass.

I'm going to take a look. Calm down, you guys.

Come with me.

I told you guys we should've left.

Shut up!

Come on, let's go.

It's not here any more.

I knew we shouldn't have tagged along.

Hey can you light my candle?

What was that? Oh no the light's gone out.

I've got a match.

What is it?

Hey. What's wrong?

You moron. It's just your hand, and you're scaring the wits out of me.

-I was left alone. -This moron was strangling himself.

It's really scary here!

What is that?

It's a chest!

It's a walking chest!

-My grandpa said something about that. -Is that the treasure? -What time is it?

-It's 12 o'clock. -That's it. -Get it. -You go first. -We'll all go.

-The treasure. -Cash.

It's right there. Open it!

-Why me? -You're the money hungry one.

Come on. Let's open it.

What did you see?

-Was there a lot? -Lots of riches!

-It's just tough! -Why? -There's a corpse in there.

-There! That's what we saw. -Hold on.

Don't be afraid. There's a way to fight that.

Somebody get a cross.

Come on you do it.

Get close to it.

You go first.

Scare it!

Keep going!

-Fight it! Fight it! -You're dead!

It's afraid of the cross. It'll leave.

There. You see? It's going away.

-It's getting closer. -You're right.
