--== McEphie ==--

I’m glad you came.

I thought I was gonna run out of time.

Sorry. Just had to retouch.

Anyway, let’s do this?
It seems you’re in a hurry.

Hold on. Wait.

Aren’t we gonna drink first?

Are we good?

Wait!

I...

It’s just...

Uh, it’s...

I’ve been waiting for this
for so long.

Can you please...

take it slow?

With a little bit of dancing?

I’ll take care of you.

Is that all?

Wait a sec!

That’s it?
That quick?

Don’t blame me.

Blame that dick of yours.

That stage is gross!

Well, you should’ve thought
about doing that flooring thing.

Show-off.

Well, she’s still new.

Give it a few months,

maybe a year,
and she’ll be like us.

I have no plans of
staying here forever.

Sis, that’s what Elsa used to say.

But look at her.
She’s still here.

Why? How long has she been here?

Since she was 14 years old.

That’s almost eight years ago.

I’m telling you, she’ll
be growing old here.

Is she really that old?

[girls chattering, whispering]

Hey there, pussycats.

Our budget’s out for release.

Wouldn’t want you
to be late on the news.

What’s the news anyway?

[whispering]

Elsa, the salary deductions are tonight!

You still have a lot to make up for
because of your suspensions.

Screw that!

I was the one assaulted,
yet I am paying for it?

You know girl, you
should control your temper!

I know it’s the customer’s fault,

but we shouldn’t be like that.

You’ve been at this job for so long!

It’s done already, right?
Just let it be.

Here you go again.

I need two girls in VIP Room 2.

Well, girls, we got another
customer with a boner.

Looks like he’ll be giving a lot of cash!

Think you can handle that?

- Go on!
- I don't want to.

Who wants to step in?

- Why don't you go?
- I don't want to. You go.

My God! You’re acting like babies.

For crying out loud!

Elsa, you’re up!

My make-up’s already off.

My God!

Just put on some lipstick
and that’s good enough.

You’re already pretty.
Come on, let’s go!

So you can meet your quota.

- My God! Hurry up!
- Fine.

I didn’t get much from earlier anyway.

Right! So, let’s go!

Enough with the drama! Come on!

Come over here.

Hurry up so you can
get that dough already.

- Hey, Elsa.
- What?

- See you.
- Bro.

What are you doing there?

Just finished my final trip.

What about you?

You getting a lot from that bar?

It’s okay. Still the same.

You’re lucky you’re earning a lot.

It’s a bit of a challenge for me.

Got a lot of competition lately.

Motorcycles and e-bikes.

We’re all vying for passengers.

So, I apologize if I don’t get to help much
with you and your aunt.

It’s fine.

I owe her a lot anyway.

I’ll go ahead.

By the way,

Elsa, your aunt asked

that you give me the money
for groceries tomorrow.

I’ll be going out early.

Here.

Elsa,

maybe you can

add a bit more?

I just need to buy some stuff
to help me sleep.

It’s kind of hard for me
to sleep at this hour.

- Are you good?
- I appreciate this.

Bong? What the hell!
I'm already resting.

- The kids are also asleep!
- Don’t be loud.

It’s waiting for you.

- Stop it!
- Come on. Just be quiet.

- Hurry up!
- Be quiet!

- The kids might wake up.
- So annoying.

- Are you good?
- Shut it. The kids might hear you.

Step aside. I’m sleeping.

What the hell got inside your
pea-sized brain, you idiot?

You know how bad
our situation is,

but you still got drinking in mind?

I saved some for you!

Oh, you save some?

That shit you “saved”

isn’t gonna feed my kids.

Scumbag.

Auntie,

what are you and
Bong fighting about?

The neighbors can hear you.

I asked this bastard to save up
all the money I got from doing laundry

so we can keep our mouths fed.

But no! He spent
everything on booze.

When I got into the store,

turns out this scumbag’s gotten debts.

What? But I gave him money
for the market last night.

- Elsa, you didn’t give me shit!
- What the hell?

I gave you some money
because you said Auntie said so.

- You even asked for extra.
- You were drunk.

No, you were drunk!

Well, you didn’t give anything.

Auntie, I handed him the money!

Are you raising your voice at me?

- No, Auntie.
- Don’t you dare call my husband a liar!

Remember, you’re living under my roof.

I don’t mean it that way,

but I really did hand him
the money last night!

You just didn’t want to share
and you’re making up stories.

Forget it, Elsa.

I won’t ask you anymore for money.

I also have to pay for
your cousins’ tuitions.

Maybe you want to help
out on that instead, huh?

Please give me a moment, Auntie.

I’ll check my savings.

Give me that!

- Mom! Sandre’s at it again!
- You’re too loud!

Get out of here!

Hey, hand that over!

Here you go, Auntie.

Just this?

This is not enough.

The bar’s not doing well.

Fine. Just give the
balance tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Well...

The kids won’t be able to go to school
with an incomplete tuition.

You want them to
stop going to school?

Fine. I’ll come up with something.

What about food for today?

Auntie, maybe you can get this one?

Elsa, I have nothing!

I need that money to pay
for Bong’s debts at the store.

I really have nothing left.

But you have more in your bag.

You still have a few thousand more.
Just take out three grand more.

How did you know that?

I was cleaning and I saw it.

Come on.

We have no money for food today.
Think about your cousins.

Okay. This will do.

Hey! What’s up, pussycats?

- You’re gorgeous as ever!
- Hi!

- Sis! That’s so pretty!
- Of course.

- So gorgeous.
- Yeah.

- How have you been?
- I’m okay. Still the same.

- How about you?
- Still pretty!

I’m still me.

- So pretty.
- Perfect!

- You guys keep talking.
- Go. Go.

Why the long face
in this early hour?

Oh!

What is this?
Are you ignoring me?

Kidding!

- You crazy hoe!
- What are you doing here?

- I missed you!
- Miss you!

So, what’s new?

- What are you doing here?
- Visiting you, of course.

Why? Don’t you want me here?
Fine, I’ll go back there.

Go!

- Kidding!
- No, I’ll go there.

- How have you been anyway?
- I’ve been good.

Still pretty, obviously.

And... How about you?

Why the long face
at this early hour?

Well, what’s new?

As always,
I got money problems.

It’s your aunt, isn’t it?

Yeah. And her pervert husband.

I’m guessing she still hasn’t changed?

Still mooching off your pockets?

Oh, girl! You said it.

I’m just short one cent,
then she guilt trips me with my cousins.

Crazy, right?

I don’t even have
plans to start a family,

yet I’m responsible
for my relatives.

It’d be fine if they’re easy to
get along with, but sis, they’re not.

They treat me as if I shit money.

Don’t even get me started
on that perverted liar husband of hers.

Why don’t you just leave?

And where will I go then?

Plus, they keep asking me for money
I don’t even have enough for myself.

With me!

In La Union!

Come on.

You know, sis,
I’ve thought of that before.

But I’m worried about my cousins.

I feel bad for them, you know?

I remember I was the same age as them
when my father left me with Auntie Mameng

before he got into an accident.

That’s why no matter
how much of a bitch she is,

I still owe her a lot.

Sure, you owe her a lot.
That’s a given.

But bestie, that’s a debt
you don’t have to pay for life.

This time, think about yourself.

And what?

Go “soul searching” like you did?

Yes!

I mean, look at me.
I’m happy with my life now.

And...

I’m never going back to
the life I had in this club.

- Why? What do you do there?
- I work at a club.

Bitch! All that talk, yet
you still have the same job?

You just transferred to a new one.
My God, stop kidding yourself.

Bitch, I’m just a waitress there.

You’re so judgmental.

Thought you were still a whore.

No, sis!

Never, ever again.

And...

I don’t think I can still stomach
having different men each night.

Besides, I’m content
with my lovey-doves.

- You have a boyfriend?
- Yes, sis!

He’s also from La Union.

And he’s also...

a biker,
a.k.a. motorcycle taxi.

But hey, he’s cute.

Ah, there we go.

You don’t want to
come back here in Manila

because you got
yourself a boyfriend.

Of all the things you said,

turns out it’s all because of a boy.

But sis, at least,

I found the one for me.

My God.

No, but seriously.

Come on. Just move to La Union.

I’ll help you look for a job there.

And sis, for crying out loud,

it was never worth it staying here.
I mean, it’s so dirty.

Oh, God.

What a tiring trip.

Oh Elsa, what are you doing here?

You don’t have work today?

Nope. I took the day off.

It’s been so tiring lately.

I’m surprised they let you.

Didn’t you just get suspended?

If they’re stupid enough to do that,
I would be glad to leave.

Well, since you’re already here,

do you want some extra income?

Asshole!

- You brat!
- Scumbag.

You really are a pervert!

Come on. Learn to take a joke.

Damn bitch.

Don’t act like you’re clean.

I know what my job is, but that
doesn’t give you the right to harass me.

You’re just another freeloader.

Oh, so you’re now
shoving it in my face?

Just because you give us money,

you think you’re better than us?

Elsa! Bong! What’s this again?

Your husband is a scumbag.

He keeps hitting on me.

Your niece keeps
spreading her legs wide open.

I just made a joke!

But this brat just got mad.

Elsa, please when you’re in my house,

quit wearing clothes like that.

It’s like you’re asking for it.

Auntie, are you serious?

Me?

You’re blaming me?

It was your husband molesting me,
yet you're blaming me?

Well, if you don’t
want to be molested,

take a look at yourself
and dress appropriately.

- [scoffs]
- Or maybe, you’re really asking for it?

Yeah, maybe she does.

Well, you didn’t give anything.

Auntie, I handed him the money!

Are you raising your voice at me?

But I really did hand him
the money last night!

You just didn’t want to share
and you’re making up stories.

Forget it, Elsa.

I won’t ask you anymore for money.

That’s why no matter
how much of a bitch she is,

I still owe her a lot.

But bestie, that’s a debt
you don’t have to pay for life.

Why don’t you just leave?

And where will I go then?

To La Union!

Come on!

- You brat!
- Scumbag.

You really are a pervert!

Come on. Learn to take a joke.

Damn bitch.

Don’t act like you’re clean.

I know what my job is, but that
doesn’t give you the right to harass me.

Elsa! Bong! What’s this again?

Your husband is a scumbag.

He keeps hitting on me.

Elsa, please when you’re in my house,

quit wearing clothes like that.

It was your husband molesting me,
yet you're blaming me?

Your hair is all tangled!

Why haven’t you combed your hair yet?

What’s with the huge bag?
Are you going to work?

I’m leaving this shithole you call a house.

- Dear, go outside with your brother.
- Let’s go.

You bitch.

I adopted and sheltered you all
these years, yet you talk to me like this?

You ungrateful, spoiled bitch!

Thank you very much for
taking care of me, Auntie.

I know I owe you a lot,

but it’s about time
I face the truth

that this family is not worth it.

Damn it.

I put my body up on sale
for this family,

yet I’m the bad guy?

You bitch.

You don’t have anywhere else to go.
You'll come crawling back!

Son of a bitch!

Animal!

No matter where you go,
you’re still a whore!

Excuse me. Which bus
is about to leave?

That one going La Union.

I see.

- Is it leaving now?
- Yes, we’re about to leave.

- Okay. I’ll go.
- Sure, you can pay inside the bus.

Thank you.

[chattering]

Ma’am, can I donate these here?

- Yes, go ahead.
- Okay.

Thank you, Ma’am.

Bestie, hey!

- [girls squealing]
- Hi!

Sis, sorry I wasn’t
able to answer your call.

But, I mean, this is
all so sudden. My God!

It’s fine, sis. Don’t worry.

What happened anyway?
Why the last minute decision?

Hey, I thought I can visit you anytime?
Do you want me to leave?

No, sis. Really, what happened?

It’s just...

I don’t want to be
in that house anymore.

You know what
that Bong did to me?

What?

That scumbag offered
to pay me for my services.

- What a dick, right?
- He’s a douchebag!

But I’m glad you’ve
finally put your foot down.

What did your Aunt say?

Of course,

she blamed me for what happened

because I kept wearing revealing clothes.

My God, bestie.
But you know,

it’s a good thing that you’re here.

Because you can
finally have a fresh start.

Isn’t that what you want?

Oh, you!

To the La Union life!
I missed you!

Come on, let's go.

- You might be tired from the trip.
- Oh, no.

Let’s look for some clothes first.

- But, sis.
- There’s a lot to choose from.

Yeah, but that one’s ugly.

Oh, look this one fits you...
as an old hoe.

- No way. Fresh start, remember?
- Oh, this is your fresh start?

Doesn’t look like it.

Come on, hurry!
There we go!

Oh, careful.

Look at it!

See!

So, bestie, this is my pad!

Here we are!

Just put your stuff down there.

That’ll be your room.

Look! It’s cute, right?

See? Cool, right?

And here is another room.

- It's nice, right?
- Gosh! This is great for two bedrooms.

I know, right?
It’s so pretty here.

An apartment by the beach.

Cool, right?

So high class!

- It’s like a new me.
- It’s so gorgeous here.

I told you.

You know, I only got
this for a cheap price.

Only for seven thousand pesos!

What? Seven thousand?

- That’s super worth it.
- I know, right?

I told you! It’s so pretty here.

And you know, it’s just
me and Fredo out here.

Fredo, my love!

Flirt! Where is he anyway?

Oh, he’s out there, working.

Looking for gigs and part-time jobs.

Well, sis.

You can stay here.

- Sure.
- Just enjoy the view.

Go sight-seeing if you want.

- Bye. Be right back.
- Go. Push.

Later.

Hey. Come on.

Let’s do it later.

- It’s okay.
- Elsa’s just in the other room.

Don’t worry.

Hi, Miss. Are you checking in?

Oh, no. I just want
to go swimming.

Is this your first time here?

Is it that obvious?

Oh, not really.

Most of the people who come here
are tourists who’ve been here before.

And of course, the surfers.

Are you a surfer too?

Oh, I'm not.

Try it.

I don’t want to.
I might drown.

There’s a professional surfer
who can teach you.

He’s nice.

Anyway,

if you want to take a dip,
there’s the path going to the sea.

Alright. Thank you very much.

Where is it anyway?

- Ouch!
- Sorry, sorry!

Auntie Bing, I’m really sorry,
but I really need to go home.

My mom’s illness has gotten worse.

What else is there for me
to do if she’s gotten worse?

But who will help
you out here, Auntie?

I’ll ask my niece to help me out
in the meantime as your replacement.

Thank you, Auntie,
for understanding.

I’ll go ahead and catch the bus.

Okay, dear. Please take care.

Thank you, Auntie.

Ma’am?

- Are you alright?
- Oh, you came back.

Seems like you’re worried
about something.

Yes, I am.
My waitress just resigned.

Maybe I can take the job.

- Are you serious?
- Yes, Ma’am.

I’m actually looking
for a job here in La Union.

Do have any experience in waitressing?

Yes, Ma’am!

I was a waitress for four years
before I got promoted.

- I see!
- We’re used to that kind of work.

But what about your salary?

It might not be enough
since the restaurant just opened.

That won’t be a problem.
I got no one to think of but myself.

Just something to get by everyday
is enough for me.

Well, I’ve got nothing
to lose if we take you in.

Here, as long as you work well,
you’re free to relax.

Thank you, Ma’am.
By the way, my name’s Elsa.

And I’m Bing.
People call me “Auntie Bing.”

Okay, Auntie Bing.

Thank you.

- Water delivery, Madame.
- Okay, go. Just put it there.

Oh, I like him.

Yes, Madame.
That’s Fredo.

Oh, you know it.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Here’s your share.

Dude, that’s it?

Yeah. That’s still money, dude.

What’s important is
we’re getting money.

How am I gonna save
money with spare change?

Why don’t you just hook me up
with that gig of yours?

- If you can do it, so can I.
- Moron.

Come on, bro.
Let me go with you!

Fine. I’ll talk to the boss.

But don’t expect too much,
I’ve to convince the guy first.

- I’ll just give you a call.
- Okay, man. Thanks.

Let’s go. We got
a lot more deliveries.

Bestie! Where were you?

I just ate and went swimming.

Well, you should’ve told me

so I could’ve prepared
something for you.

No need. I mean,
you were busy earlier.

Wait, you heard that?

Sis, I think the entire
neighborhood heard you.

Well, sis, if you’re
being pounded so good,

- you shouldn’t stop yourself.
- You're crazy.

Your screams were
reaching outer space, girl.

That’s how it is.

Bestie, I finally got a job!

Really? Where?

Over there at the new restaurant.

Congrats, bestie!

- I always knew you had it in you.
- Well, of course.

She just went out to grab food.
Then she returns with a job. Congrats!

- Congrats!
- It was quite the timing

because the
servers were leaving.

- Then I offered to work.
- Okay, okay.

- That’s right.
- Right?

You’re amazing.

- I’m so proud of you bestie.
- Thank you, bestie.

Shit!

Okay, because of that,
I’ll be the one going to work.

So, you stay here.

- You enjoy here.
- Go. Take care.

Are you sure you’re okay
with being by yourself?

Of course. I was
already strolling around.

So enjoy the view.

Go sightseeing.

Bye!

Elsa, I brought my niece with me,

so you’d have someone to
help you with service later.

She’s nice and hardworking.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Alright. I’ll head out for groceries.
You take care of everything.

I also left some deliveries over there.
You know what to do with them.

- Alright. Take care.
- Okay.

Now, why don’t you
start with the glasses?

Okay.

Hello?

Is Auntie Bing there?

My God, you scared me!

Is Auntie Bing here?

What? Sorry, I don’t understand Ilocano.

I thought you were from here.
Where is Auntie Bing?

She left a while ago.

Why?

What do you need?

I’m the one delivering the
food and other items for later.

Oh, is that so?
Well, just leave it out there.

Okay. Let me just go grab it.

Okay.

- Miss, everything is set.
- Is that all?

Yeah.

Okay.

Do you need anything else?

Wait a sec...

I think I know you.

Me?

How?

Have we seen each other somewhere?

That would be impossible.

Why is that?

It would be hard to forget
a pretty face like yours.

Ah!

You were that person who
bumped into yesterday, weren’t you?

Oh, that was you?

- That was you!
- I’m sorry, I was in a hurry.

What a bunch of nonsense.
“Hard to forget” your face.

My God. Is that how men really are?

- What’s your name?
- Elsa.

I’m Eddy, by the way.

Are you an outsider?

I feel like

this is the first time
I’ve seen you here.

Oh, yes. I’m not from here.

But I plan on staying here for good.

Where are you from, anyway?

What’s with all the questions?

Are you really a delivery boy
or a cop?

What’s bad with asking questions?

From... somewhere far away.

You’re from Manila, aren’t you?

How can you tell?

Well, you look like
you’re from Manila.

Most people who come here
from Manila

say they’re tired
of the city life.

Well, it really is tiring there.

Is this where you work?

Is it not obvious enough?

That’s a first.

Well, is everything set?
Did you deliver everything?

Yes, that’s all.

Alright.

Thanks. You can leave now.

Alright, I’ll go ahead.

Sure.

Elsa, where do I put these glasses?
I’m done cleaning them.

Oh, you can put them there.

Hey.

Do you know that guy?

Ah, that’s Eddy.

He’s cute right?
And a nice guy, too.

You talk too much.
Anyway, you put those glasses away.

Boss?

- Boss?
- Eddy, come in.

- Hey, boss.
- Hey. How are you?

We’re doing great, boss.

A lot of tourists,
a lot of customers.

- They’re arriving, aren’t they?
- Yes.

Good.

Where is it?

Right!

Here, boss. It’s a lot.

Oh yeah.

I won’t count these anymore.
These came from you, anyway.

- No a cent short, boss.
- Well, here are your items.

That’s complete.

Thank you, boss.

But yeah. Just remember
to watch your back.

Especially with that
police friend of yours.

You know those cops
would wander around

with these tourists coming in, okay?

I’ll take care of it, boss.

- Be careful.
- I’ll go ahead.

Oh, boss!

By the way,

- remember my friend, Fredo?
- Yeah.

He’s been asking
if he can get a job.

Maybe I can

refer him to you?

I’m honestly a bit
uncomfortable with your friend.

But let’s see,

that's on you.

Just stick to our agreement, Eddy.

You take them in,

- you’re accountable.
- Of course, boss. I’ll take care of it.

Okay. I’ll think about it and...

- I’ll give you a call.
- Okay, boss. I’ll wait for the call.

- Be careful.
- Boss, I’ll get going.

- See you later.
- Okay.

Hi, Ma’am. Here’s your drink.

Thank you.

Do you want to order anything else?

- Later. I’ll let you know.
- Enjoy your day.

Miss?

Do I know you?

I don’t think so, Sir.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Wow.

Hey, Eddy. You seem
to be enjoying the food.

- Sir.
- That’s nice.

Do you want more rice?

Excuse me, we need
some more rice here, please.

Okay, sir.

Here, sir.

I’ve gotten word that you’ve been
spreading happiness here in La Union.

So?

What do you have to say?

That’s not true, Sir.

You’ve known me
since I was a kid.

You know me, too, Eddy.

I don’t really believe
rumors and gossips,

but remember this...

The moment I get news
that you and your friends

are the ones causing problems
and distress in our town,

I won’t hesitate to
put you behind bars,

no matter who they are.

Yes, sir.

Hello, Sir?

Alright, I’ll head to the station.

Copy, sir.

Proceeding, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Remember what we talked about, Eddy.

Once I find out the truth,
I assure you I won’t have a choice.

Yes, sir.

Oh, hey! You don’t
have work today?

It’s my day-off.

Come here and get changed.
Let’s go out.

Where are we going?

My goodness.

If we’re just gonna party, I’ll pass.
I’m quite tired.

Sis, no.

There’s gonna be
a bonfire at the beach.

Only a few people
will be there, and...

only locals are allowed.
So let’s go.

We’re not locals though.

Sis, excuse me.

I’ve been here for a year and
Fredo’s gonna meet me there.

Told him to bring some friends with,
so you’d get to know them.

But sis, you know
I’m allergic to guys.

Sis, come on.

And so you’d have someone with
just in case Fredo and I go missing.

If you know what I mean.

You are such a flirt!

But, I’m gonna pass.
I’m really tired.

Sis,

- you wanna live here, right?
- Yeah.

This is how you experience La Union.

Come on, just come with.

Okay, fine.
Let me just get changed.

Let’s go!

Have you seen any restrooms?

There!

Give me a second.

- I’ll go to the toilets.
- Sure. I’ll just smoke here.

[chuckles] You again?

Tell me, are you following me?

It’s just by chance, sir.

Are you really sure
you don’t remember me?

I really don’t.

Then why are you avoiding me?

I’m just a really shy person.

Come on.

Are you for real?

[scoffs]

I know you!

Aren’t you that
whore from Manila?

Oh, wait. Hold on.

Where are you going?

Fine, I remember you.

I’m sorry for what I did back then.

What? That’s it?

“Sorry?” Just like that?

That was a long time ago.

Why can’t we just
forget about it?

How can I forget?

You were the only one
who did that to me.

Okay, fine.

I’ll give you one more chance.

That is...

if you’ll give me
what I want.

So,

are you game?

Just one night.

Just do the dance
you did before,

but this time,

let’s change things up a bit.

I have a new life here.

Nobody knows what I did before.

So please,

I’m begging you,
go find someone else.

You don’t want to?

Well, if you don’t,

I’ll tell everyone

who you really are.

Let’s see if people here
will respect you.

Babe.

I’m sorry.

Ran out of call credits.

And the trip was so long.
Who’s this, by the way?

A guest from our restaurant.

What’s he doing here?

Sorry, bro,

I didn’t really hear what you and
my girlfriend were talking about.

But I didn’t like your tone.

Do you have a problem?

[scoffs]

We’re not done yet.

You like that?

- You okay?
- Thank you.

- What was that guy talking about?
- Bestie!

Oh, Eddy. You guys
know each other already.

- Why?
- You know him?

What’s this?

- I wasn’t informed about this.
- Hi babe!

Hi, babe!

Dude, you’re here.

- Oh, babe. This is Elsa, my best friend.
- Elsa, okay.

- She was sleeping in the other bedroom.
- Oh, that’s her?

Bestie, this is Fredo, by the way.
My boyfriend.

- They know each other already.
- You guys look good together.

- They really look great together.
- Right, dude?

- What do you say?
- In your dreams.

He just delivered
something at the restaurant.

Girl!

I didn’t know you have a boyfriend.

Girl!

Do you really think I’d jump
into a relationship? Seriously?

I didn’t know!

- They suit each other.
- Right?

You look cute together.

Right?

Let’s go.

They’re been waiting for us there.
Let’s go, let’s go!

Not tonight, girls.

Hey!

- What’s up?
- Hey, man!

Love that guitar playing, bro.

Hi!

How are you?

- Let’s go surfing?
- Let’s surf.

Bestie, we'll be here.

[chattering]

- Bro, how are you?
- I’m good. You?

This is Elsa, by the way.

- Hello.
- Hello.

- Shot! Nice!
- Nice! Thank you.

It’s so chill here, isn’t it?

Yeah, it is.

I like watching them.

Keeping it simple.

Wait,

are non-locals prohibited
from going here?

Yes, they aren’t allowed.

They need to get the blessing first.

What? Whose blessing?

- My blessing.
- Wow!

- If you say so.
- Nah, I’m just kidding.

Not that it’s prohibited but...

most tourists who come here
are those who we really know well.

Like you, who can
get along with us.

It’s really nice here.

That’s why many people
visit and never leave.

However, others only come
here to start businesses.

Isn’t that nice for the community?

That depends.

Why?

Well, the others don’t
have respect for the area.

Lots of demolitions
and build up whatever they can think of.

[chattering]

You see that over there?

Yeah.

No locals would dare go there.

Why not? That place seems nice.

Yeah it looks nice but...

it’s caused problems to many.

They built that place without
knowing it’s a turtle nest.

And we’re supposed
to take care of that.

Were you born and raised in La Union?

Well, yes and no.

What?

I wasn’t born here but...

I grew up here.

My aunt left me here
at a friend’s place.

Now that friend of hers,

they’ve been gone for five years.

So, yeah.

Now, it’s just me.

How about you?

How’d you find yourself here?

Still with the questions, I see.

Wow. I’ve already told you
my life story.

I grew tired of
my life in Manila.

It’s like I had to take care of
a family that’s not even mine.

That’s why I’m grateful for Kakai.

She offered to try
living here in La Union.

So, here I am.

Yeah, there’s a lot of
people like you here.

Running away from the
lives they grew tired of.

- But damn, La Union is very nice.
- Bestie!

We’ll go ahead, okay?

Are you drunk already?

- Take care, bro.
- Take care of yourself, okay?

Don’t embarrass me.

- Eddy, take care of my friend.
- Yeah, I’ll look after her.

- I’m telling you.
- Babe, you’re drunk.

Go ahead. You’re drunk.

Bye, guys!

Thank you so much!

- Bye! See you!
- Bye! Take care!

- I bet they’re just gonna look for a spot.
- And, there they go.

Babe, be careful.

But, babe, please.

- Someone might see us.
- No, they won’t. Here is good.

Ah!

Yes...

So...

You know, Kakai won’t
come back for you.

Let me give you a ride home.

I know. Seems like
she’s having fun.

- I’ll take the ride home.
- Let’s go.

- Hey.
- Sir.

Enjoying the stroll, Eddy?

It’s already late.

We’re on our way home, sir.
I just need to drop off my friend.

What's your name, Miss?

She doesn’t understand Ilocano, sir.

- What’s your name, Miss?
- It’s Elsa, sir.

Want some coffee, Eddy?
Looks like you’ve had a few bottles.

No, thank you, sir.

We’re okay.

Remember this Eddy,

we don’t want any
trouble here in our town.

We don’t want to cause any commotion,
especially now that it’s late.

- Keep that in mind, okay?
- Yes, sir.

Well, you guys go ahead.
It’s already late.

Thank you, sir.

Sir.

[chattering]

Hey, sorry about that.

What was that about?
It’s as if the police was pushing you.

Don’t worry about it.

Do you want to hang out still?

Where?

The place I work at.

Why not.

It’s pretty chill there.

Really?

This is your house?

Yeah.

Do you like it?

I like your set-up here.

Are you really a delivery boy?

I just moved here
when the owner went away.

They got bankrupt...

So, they’re selling it.

And since they’re still looking
for a buyer, I play as the caretaker.

How lucky.

I guess that’s the
advantage of getting along.

That’s how I manage to get by.

Getting along, fitting in.

And the blessings will just come in.

Are you still up for it?

Me? Back in Manila,
I can finish a whole case.

- Are you challenging me?
- Alright. Game.

Cheers?

Quite the heavyweight.

- Can I ask you another question?
- [scoffs]

You’ve been asking me
questions the whole night.

Who was that guy earlier?

I heard...

you were a dancer?

I didn’t know you heard that.

You’re trying to get me
drunk to confess, aren’t you?

Hey, I’m not.

Yes,

I was a dancer before

at a club.

So...

Are you happy now?

But why are you hiding it?

Because I don’t want
to be reminded of my past.

Why’s that?

It’s so tiring.

And numbing.

I don’t even know if

I can still feel anything.

That guy from earlier?

Yeah?

He was a former client.

There we go!

Guys, guys, pay attention
to what I’ll be doing.

- Here he goes again.
- More alcohol?

- Hey there.
- Hi.

Oh, dude! Nice!

I told you, right?

That’s how we roll!

You’re crazy.

- Hey!
- Whoa!

What are you doing?
Oh my god!

- I’m sorry, sir.
- Dude, what the hell!

Sorry, Sir. Please forgive us.

- He’s a dickhead.
- Girl. Shut up!

Shut your mouth!

- What are you doing?
- He was being a scumbag.

- But the customer is always right!
- Seriously?

What were you thinking?

- Oh man! That was crazy!
- Need a towel, bro?

[people laughing, chattering]

- Whoa!
- She got you there, bro!

[people laughing, murmuring]

- Dude, that was embarrassing.
- She got you there, man!

She stepped on your ego, man.

After that,

he complained to our manager.

So yeah, they took it
out of my salary.

I was the one assaulted,
yet I paid for it.

That prick.

You said it.

But,

that’s a normal thing
for that kind of job.

Is it hard?

What is?

To work at a club?

At the beginning, yes.

I couldn’t stop throwing
up on my first time.

The dancing’s okay.

But my first table,

being groped by a person
you don’t even know,

even if it’s your hundredth time,

it still gives you the chills.

But once you get used to it,

it’d be easy to play with them.

And your life at the
club would be easier.

Wait.

Why did you ask anyway?

You’re always clubs, aren’t you?

No, I’m not.
It’s costly there.

Sometimes, when guests
invite me join, I’d go.

I honestly don’t get them.

The clubs in Manila
are already great,

yet they still want to
stick their noses here.

Have you ever set
foot at a club in Manila?

Not yet.

But...

I’m sure it’s way different
here than it is there.

You’d just laugh
at the dancers here.

Why? How do they dance here?

Like this.

Look closely.

Like this.

With a little bit of this.

I’m done. You’re just
making fun of me.

No, I’m not.
You were great.

Do you wanna see how I’d dance?

Bestie, you’re here.

Hey! What’s up?

Sis, Fredo and I fell asleep
at the beach.

- Well, what’s new?
- Shut up!

What about you?

Where were you?

You were with Eddy, weren’t you?

Oh, bestie!

Don’t start. I’m tired
and I had too many drinks.

You said you were
allergic to guys,

but you weren’t
afraid to take one in.

Watch your mouth.
My God, this girl.

- I’m going to bed. I’m tired.
- I was kidding!

Okay, bye. See ya!

Hey sis,

Fredo told me that

you and Eddy have been meeting up
more and more these days.

Your boyfriend likes
to gossip a lot.

But, what’s up between
you and Eddy?

Nothing! What kind
of question is that?

Nothing?

Are you sure
there’s nothing?

Sex buddies? Is that it?
Just using each other?

It’s nothing like that.
We’re just friends.

I see.

Sex friends?

You’re really crazy!
You know that right?

It’s amazing honestly,

who knew that heart of stone
of yours could actually still feel?

I thought you were
a hopeless case already.

You know what,
I thought so too.

So, what’s the actual deal?

Is he big?

It has nothing to do
with his size.

If not that, then what?

Maybe he has special moves?
It’s making you smile already!

I think...

I really enjoy
having sex with him.

You know?
It’s like for the first time,

I don’t need to have sex
to earn money.

Plenty of guys were
courting you in Manila,

you didn’t give
any of them a chance?

They’re different from Eddy,

all of them were perverts!

And remember?

I moved here to start a new life,
away from all of that.

You know what,
you’re right, sis.

But still, always remember

to take care of
that heart of yours.

I hate it when you get hurt.

Gosh! If Eddy does anything
to hurt you,

I’ll kick the shit out of him!

Really now? What about you?

How sure are you that
Fredo won’t hurt you?

Oh sis,

he’s already saving up
for our future!

Future, future my ass.

What’s he saving up for?

More condoms so you guys
can have sex endlessly?

You’re so judgmental!

Just eat your food!

So many new learnings!

Of course!

- Sir.
- Hey, bro.

- You are Eddy?
- Yeah.

Nice bro.
Come, take a seat.

What do you want?
Beer? Scotch? Whiskey?

- I’m good, Boss.
- Are you sure?

Bro, I have this party.

It was really unexpected.

I’m in need of assistance because
the stash I have is for myself only.

Can you help?

What do you need, Boss?

At times like this,
I really can’t be picky.

Just make sure it’s strong,

just make sure there’s plenty of it,

and make sure it’s not rugby, you know?

[scoffs]

Rugby.

Don’t worry Boss,
I’ll take care of it.

Nice.

Take this, Eddy.

Buy as many pieces as you can.

I want my guests to be happy.

And bro,

do a good job

and there’s plenty more
where that came from.

I’ll take care of it.

Alright.

- I’ll come back soon.
- Alright.

- Hello, bro?
- Hey, man.

- Where are you?
- I’m at home.

I just met with the boss.

Gotta give you the items.

Alright, alright, hold on.
I’ll just finish this quickly.

Let’s meet at the alley.

- Alright, alright, take care.
- Alright then.

Fredo, you son of a bitch,

I’m telling you,
you better finish this.

[people chattering]

Dude.

What took you so long?

And why weren’t you
answering your phone?

And why you dripping with sweat?

Did you go swimming?

No, dude. It’s hot as hell!

And I walked to get here,
of course I’ll sweat.

Did you bring what I asked?

Here bro, it’s all in there.

Here,

you already know
who to give that to.

Damn it, man.
You’re making me anxious.

Are you sure you’re good?

Shit, man.

- Dude, we have a problem.
- Shit!

I think I got followed.
I don’t know, man.

Hey, you two!
Don’t think about running!

Follow the other one!

Hey! Watch where
you’re going, asshole!

Stupid dumbass!

Stop right there!
Stop, or I’ll shoot!

Damn you, you made us chase you!

Why did you run?

Your partner started chasing me!

I had no choice but to run!

You think we’re stupid?

- Take out the package!
- What? Take what out?

Take it out!

I don’t have
anything on me!

Frisk him!

I’m telling you,
I don’t have anything on me!

I don’t have anything on me!

I don’t have anything!

Chief, his friend got away.

Eddy, if I find out
you’re in on this,

I’ll make sure you’ll get what you deserve.
Mark my words.

Kai!

Kai, open the door!
Hurry up!

What is it?

Where did you come from?
Why do you look like that?

Pack your things,
we’re leaving this place.

What?

Just go pack your things!

What are you talking about?

Wait, what’s really happening?

Where did this come from?

Eddy and I got ambushed earlier.

He got caught,
but I was able to get away.

Damn it, Fredo,
where did this come from?

I told you I was
saving up for the both of us.

Well, here it is.
Right in the palm of our hands.

We’re going to be rich!

Are you kidding me, Fredo?

Just go pack your things!

You know I can’t just
leave Elsa like that,

- Fredo!
- Forget about her!

We don’t have much time!

And the Boss is already
looking for that money.

I already told him Eddy was
the one who lost the money.

Are you serious, Fredo?

For this damn pile of cash?

Are you out of your mind?

You’ll really let your
friend fall just for this?

Why the hell not?

It’s my time to get rich!

He’s done.

I’ve been waiting for this
for a long time, Kakai.

Screw you.

Leave!

If only I knew
this was the real you,

- then let’s just split—
- Come on.

Leave!

Let’s just split up!
Get the hell out of here!

- Get out.
- Come on.

Just come with me already!

Out!

Hey, Eddy! Finally!

My knight in shining
armor is here!

Great timing, bro.

Is everything good?

I wasn’t able to get anything.

Huh?

What?

Shit, bro.

Are you serious?

All my friends are waiting, bro.

My source was followed.

After we exchanged items,
we got chased by the police.

While running I dropped the stash,
I wasn’t able to go back for it.

Wait, wait.

Are you serious, bro?

You’re telling me
you left here with money,

and you came back here with nothing?

No money? No drugs?

Give me two hours,
I’ll get you your money.

Bro, I-

I think... Wait a sec.

Are you messing with me? Huh?

- Hold on, wait.
- What's going on?

You wait there,
see what happens, bro.

I don’t think you know
who you’re messing with bro.

Hey, bro, bro.
What happened?

Bro, this guy

took money,

told me he was
gonna get me a stash,

no money, no stash.

Does he know who
he’s messing with, bro?

Bro, I’ll pay you.

I got you.

- You’re gonna cover him?
- Yeah.

- It’s okay for you?
- Alright.

- I got you, I got you.
- Alright, alright.

- Okay?
- Alright.

- Alright then.
- Cool.

Alright, bro, here’s how it’ll go,

just so we’re even.

I’ll pay your debt...

But in return,
you have to do me a favor.

You just have to bring
your girlfriend here.

Elsa. Wait.

Why?

You have to leave.
Right now.

Huh?

What do you mean by leave?
What are you talking about?

I screwed up, Elsa.

Fredo and I got ambushed.

We got into a chase with the police,
but luckily I escaped them.

Goddamn it, Eddy,
are you a pusher?

You still remember
the guy I scared off?

Yeah?

His friend asked
for a stash from me.

He wants you as
payment for my debt.

What?

What did you tell him?

Son of a bitch.

You asshole, you agreed to it?

You bastard!

You asshole!

You are something else!

All men are the same!

I’m sorry.

- Let go!
- I got pinched.

I didn’t know what to say.

They might send me to jail.

Well then, screw you!

You didn’t think about me?

That’s why I’m asking you
to leave, please!

It’s why I’m telling you this,
I can’t give you away to those bastards.

Why can’t we just
replace the missing drugs?

Or why not replace
the misplaced money?

You don’t understand, Elsa.

That bastard won’t accept
anything other than you.

You told me that asshole has connections.

Come on, let’s go.

I’ll take you to the bus station
while there’s still time.

Eddy. Where the hell
am I gonna go?

What about my job here?

It’s why I came here,
to start a new life.

I know that

anywhere you go,
you can make it.

It’s you we’re talking about, Elsa.

You?

What about you?

Don’t think about me yet.

What’s important is you get to leave first,
you get away now.

Don’t think about me.

If I get through this,
I’ll ask Kakai to call you.

Goddamn it, Eddy.

We got here right on time.

The bus is leaving for Baguio.

Here.

When you get to the station,
call this number.

That’s my friend’s number, they’ll
take care of you when you get there.

Hello, Boss.

Looks like your gift
isn’t coming.

They’re here at the bus station.

You know what to do.

Yeah, I got it, boss.

Why don’t you just
come with me?

Elsa...

You’ll be in even more danger
if we’re together.

I’ll get through this, believe me.

Was all of it just about sex?

What are you talking about?

If that’s the case,
it’s okay with me.

I’m already used to it.

I just want to know the truth,

so I know if I’m just
giving myself false hope.

What do you think?

Yes.

Would I be going through all of this
if that’s how I view you?

So, what were all those things
that happened between us?

Elsa...

Did you ever truly love me?

Bro.

You dumbass,
so you did lose my money?

Sorry, Boss.

You bastard!

You moron.

Is this who you’re talking about?

Yeah, she’s the one.

That’s what’s up.

Alright bro, I’m gonna leave you to it.

Alright, bro.

Take care.

Let’s not waste anymore time.

Sir!

Sir!

Damn you.

Bastard.

Idiot.

Have mercy, please!

Where are you from?

Does it ask where you just were?

Where you’re going?

Or where you are now?

It doesn’t matter.

What matters

is that you continue
to find yourself.

No matter who you are,

where you are,

we are all...

Outsiders.
