Original subtitles

With the evidence we have,

it seems like Ma'am Olivia is your mother.

But Eden abandoned her child.

That sounds more like my mother.

You finally drew a butterfly.

It's beautiful!

Yes, doc.

It's for the book launch.

Welcome, everyone.

You really want everyone to see this?

Yes.

So I can find out whoever my real mom may be.

Mia!

[CAR DOOR SLAMS]

She's all alone right now.

Yes. I'll take care of her.

[PHONE BEEPS]

Where are you?!

[DOOR SLAMS]

You picked the wrong witch to mess with!

Uh, Miss Mia?

You ruined my surprise!

Today was supposed to be a special day

where I would've presented that gift!

But what did you do?

You decided to be idiots today!

Your only job was to put the photo I picked in a frame,

and you failed to do that!

Uh, Miss Mia, I apologize for the inconvenience.

But we were calling to inform you

that we already found the frame you wanted.

Well, show me! Where is it?!

Over here.

That's it?! Well, let's go!

Let's put it in the car.

Let's go!

Hurry up!

Put that in my car!

Faster!

[SMACKS]

What are you doing here?

I followed you.

Who told you I'd be here?

If I hadn't called the photographer,

I wouldn't know you'd be here.

They said you weren't picking up.

Those idiots.

They ruined my surprise.

Mia, the surprise isn't important.

You shouldn't leave without telling us.

We were all worried about you!

Oh, please. I was only gone for a while.

You should've asked someone to come with you.

What if something happened to you?

I'm fine, aren't I?

I'm all in one piece.

Mia.

Patrick, chill.

I'm fine.

- Give me your keys. - Why?

I'll drive for you.

What about your car? You'll just leave it here?

I'll tell security to come get it.

Why?

Because you can't be left alone.

Did I make you worry?

[KEYS CLINK]

[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]

[CAR BEEPS]

I did.

[PATRICK] Get in.

And I love it.

[EXHALES IN RELIEF]

Okay. Okay, good.

Good.

Thank you, thank you.

Okay.

Everything's okay. Mia's okay.

Mia's safe. She's with Patrick now.

[EXHALES IN RELIEF]

I'm glad to hear that.

So...

what now?

Can we get back to eating upstairs?

Can we get back to having fun now?

Let's go! [GIGGLES]

Is this okay?

[MIA] A little more to the right.

- Like this? - A little more.

- Perfect, perfect. - Like this?

[MATMAT] Oh, look!

Matmat looks happy there.

[CHUCKLES] That's right, Matmat.

You look happy there.

[MIA] Hmm, of course.

I made sure that he would be comfortable.

Right, Matmat?

Can we get some rest now?

Hmm, good night, Patrick.

Good night, Mia.

- Good night, Matmat. - Good night.

What about you?

You don't want to rest yet?

Something's missing.

Huh?

Don't tell me you'll bother the studio people again.

I think...

this photo is missing some "little Patricks."

[WHIMSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]

Huh?

We need to "talk."

Mia, I'm tired.

You had me worried all day, remember?

Let's get some rest.

But I really want some "little Patricks."

Mia, don't be stubborn.

Let's get some rest.

You have an early book launch tomorrow.

But the night's still young.

We still have lots of time to "talk."

Mia, good night.

[WHIMSICAL MUSIC CONTINUES]

[MIA SIGHS]

[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]

[KISSES]

Promise me you won't do that again?

You won't just suddenly disappear?

I promise.

[CHUCKLES]

Come on.

Let's go.

Let's make a bunch of "little Patricks."

Please?

Good night.

[SIGHS]

Get some rest.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

[SIGHS]

[GENTLE MUSIC CONTINUES]

Madeth?

Huh!

The setup's not done yet?

[SIGHS] Incompetence is so unreal.

Madeth!

[BREATHES DEEPLY]

Hey.

Water.

Don't be stressed!

The setup is nice. Your efforts have paid off.

- Really? - Mm-hmm.

You know what, it's different when you say it.

I don't feel tired anymore.

- [SOFT MUSIC PLAYING] - It's gone.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Hmm.

When this is all over, you'll go back to Manila.

Hmm.

We'll be busy in Manila because I know

Mia's new book will be a best seller.

But I didn't say I'm leaving Maravida.

- Did I? - Hmm?

I'm not leaving Maravida because...

Because?

Because my favorite writer is in here.

Not only that, of course,

Mia is very inspired to write here in Maravida.

Second, the cost of living here is cheaper.

Third, office spaces are also cheap.

Right? Why would I leave?

That's it?

Those are your only reasons?

[SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES]

I'm not leaving Maravida...

because Gemma,

I love you.

["BAKIT NAMAN HINDI" BY TRISHA DENISE PLAYING]

[BREATHES SHARPLY]

Uh, Mama Li. I need to go to Mama Li.

[FOOTSTEPS RETREATING]

G-Gemma! Wait! I'm coming with you!

Hey! Wait for me!

Patrick, what's with me?

What is it?

Are you okay?

I don't feel anything.

It's like...

I didn't even get hurt.

Are you sure?

Yeah. Give me your hand.

Oh.

See? Nothing.

Maybe because--

Maybe because I already feel loved by you.

You and Matmat.

Jason, that's not because of us.

You're not hurting...

because you already like someone else.

[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]

[PATRICK] You know what I want?

I want you to follow your heart.

[CHUCKLES]

Hi, everyone. I'm Vincent Romulo.

And I'm very happy to see

our friends and family gathered here tonight.

Doc Anok, thank you very much for allowing us to witness

and celebrate Mia Hernandez's latest creation.

With illustrations by Matthew Gonzales.

Entitled

"Nakita Mo Ba Ang Mukha Ko?" ("Have You Seen My Face?")

- [QUIRKY MUSIC PLAYING] - [CROWD APPLAUDS]

Go, Matmat!

Have you seen my face?

[ETHEREAL MUSIC PLAYING]

"Once, in a castle in the middle of the woods,

there lived three people who didn't have real faces."

[CROW COOING]

[MIA] "One is named Mister Box. He wears a box in his head.

There's also Mask Boy. A lad who always wears a mask.

And then there's Princess Wapa.

This princess shows no flicker of emotion at all."

"They don't have faces

because the shadow witch, Bruhanino, stole them.

Because they don't have faces

and can't tell how one feels,

they often get into misunderstandings and fights."

[STUTTERING] "O-One day,

Mister Box said,

"If we want to stop fighting

and achieve happiness,

we need to get our faces back."

"Mister Box, Mask Boy,

and Princess Waba rode a car and traveled,

in hopes of finding their true faces."

"One day,

by the shore,

there lies a mother dog."

[MIA] "Miss, have you seen my face?"

"The mother dog shook his head.

Mask Boy noticed that she was crying."

"He asked,

"Why are you crying?"

"I was looking for food for my child and me to eat!

But I didn't see that she got away.

She was just behind me."

"The mother dog kept crying.

The sand beneath her is starting to get wet with tears.

Mask Boy then started crying."

"Hu-hu-hu! Hu-hu-hu!"

"His tears fell on the sand.

The puppy that the mother dog was looking for

suddenly appeared."

[MATMAT] "The sun is scorching hot,

that's why the puppy felt weak

and got covered in the sand.

The mother dog hugged her puppy with glee."

- [WIND BLOWING] - [PAPER RUSTLING]

[MIA] The three continued their journey.

Not long after, they saw a clown dancing in a field

of thorny flowers.

"Hey, clown! Can you see my face?"

"I can't see anything because I'm dancing."

The clown replied.

Because of curiosity, Princess Waba asked,

"Why are you dancing without clothes

when you could get pricked by thorns?"

"This is the only way people will notice me."

"But even though I'm already hurting,

no one's looking at me."

Princess Waba stepped into the thorny field and danced

with the clown.

"My body is made of tin,

so I won't get hurt even if the thorns prick me."

As the thorns struck the tin,

Princess Waba's body made sounds.

When people heard the sound,

they began to gather.

They started watching them dance.

And gave them loud applause.

But suddenly, the evil Bruhanino appeared before them.

"You two,

you'll never find your happy faces again."

- After that-- - After that--

[QUIRKY MUSIC PLAYING]

- They were locked up by-- - They were locked up by--

[MIA] Matmat...

M-Mia, it's Matmat's turn to read.

Matmat, it's my turn.

I'm not done reading yet.

You're so stubborn, Mia.

Let me finish first.

We've got noodles and spring roll over there.

[OVERLAPPING ARGUMENT]

- [MATMAT] Why? - [MIA] Why did you even join?

- It should just be me. - Mia's so noisy.

I should be the only one here.

- Patpat, let go-- - You draw, I'm write.

We're family, right?

And family loves each other.

We don't hold grudges when we get annoyed.

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

Mia is still Matmat's family, even when we fight, because...

...I love Mia.

Matmat loves his...

...family.

[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]

Hmm?

[SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES]

You're my family too, Matmat.

There!

Now give each other a hug.

[SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES]

[MIA CHUCKLES]

Let's go.

[MATMAT] We're good now, Mia.

I hope you're still happy with me.

I feel like I'm in heaven every time I'm with you.

I can't wait to marry you, have our own kids.

Don't worry about Papa. They'll meet you one day.

Please be patient, hon. Because I...

I love you so much. I can't wait to marry you. Samuel."

[CAR DOOR OPENS]

Hey, wait a minute, Patrick.

It's okay, Dipong.

[MUSIC DECRESCENDOS]

What do you need, Patrick?

I found these.

Letters from Mister Samuel.

[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]

- I've long wondered if you're-- - Ingrid?

You thought I'm Mia's mother?

[SULLEN MUSIC PLAYING]

I wish I were.

Then I'd be Samuel's wife.

Have you known Mister Samuel for a long time?

I've known him since college.

He was my first and only love.

- [YOUNG SAMUEL] Olivia! - [OLIVIA] I came from

- a poor family. - I'm here!

- The smell's making me hungry! - [OLIVIA] But he accepted me

- though I had nothing. - Hmm! Delicious!

[YOUNG OLIVIA] What do you have there?

[YOUNG SAMUEL] A little something for you.

And another special gift too.

I know you're going to like it.

How many more poems are we going to read?

[YOUNG OLIVIA] I love reading when I'm with you.

[YOUNG SAMUEL] "Each moment...

the hours dim,

yet hope lingers..."

[YOUNG OLIVIA] "...that our hearts...

...will finally be as one."

[OLIVIA] But Ingrid and Samuel's marriage was arranged

to save their estate.

Ingrid comes from a wealthy family,

so what chance do I have against her?

It felt like...

they stole the only man I ever loved.

- [MELANCHOLIC MUSIC PLAYING] - After decades had passed,

I searched for him.

- [MELANCHOLIC MUSIC CONTINUES] - [BREATHES DEEPLY]

And I found him.

He's at OK Hospital.

[SOBBING SOFTLY] I learned about his condition,

and I thought...

I...

I will care for him myself.

[SNIFFLES]

I'll be the last person by his side

until his final breath.

[SNIFFLES]

[MELANCHOLIC MUSIC CONTINUES, FADES]

But why didn't you tell Mia about your connection?

[INHALES SHARPLY]

[EXHALES SHAKILY]

Because Ingrid will come back.

- [BREATHES DEEPLY] - [TENSE MUSIC STING]

I saw her rise from the lake, Patrick.

- [OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING] - And this scar?

She did this.

I know she's alive.

I don't know where she is, but I know she's alive.

[OMINOUS MUSIC CONTINUES]

[OLIVIA] I found out Dipong's taking care of the mansion.

So I hired him

to keep an eye for Ingrid's return.

I had him watch over Mia too.

Who else would Ingrid be coming back for...

[EXHALES HEAVILY] ...but her daughter?

Ingrid is alive.

And I'm waiting for her return.

I want to make her pay for my mother's death.

[DARK MUSIC PLAYING]

[PATRICK] If you're not Ma'am Ingrid,

then I have to go.

[MUSIC BECOMES UNSETTLING]

Mia!

Mia?! Mia!

Patrick?

- [HURRIED FOOTSTEPS] - [PATRICK] Mia?!

Mia, Olivia isn't your mother.

And if that's so, there's only one person who could be.

Eden.

[PATRICK] Look at this.

I found one of Eden's notes at her house.

- [MUSIC BECOMES TENSE] - You're also a writer.

I'm sure you recognize your mother's writing.

[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]

What?

She did it again.

That's Mama.

Ma'am Eden's a writer?

Yeah.

- [CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS] - It's kind of her hobby.

It's her hobby to edit my works too.

[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]

For dawn brings many things along,

there's mystery,

death,

and life reborn.

[TENSE MUSIC SWELLS]

[MIA] I can hear my mother's voice.

[TENSE MUSIC STING]

This is her writing style.

- [MUSIC TURNS UNSETTLING] - [BREATHING HEAVILY]

[BREATHING SHAKILY, HEAVILY]

Eden is my mother.

- [MUSIC TURNS TENSE] - [GASPS]

Patrick, she's disliked you since we were kids.

Now that she's back, I'm sure she'll try to harm you!

[MUSIC TURNS DARK PENSIVE]

[PATRICK] "The servant has vanished from the earth.

A transformation, a life remade."

[DARK PENSIVE MUSIC CONTINUES]

She lived it out.

The words on her manuscript.

You read it?

[PATRICK] Yes, I saw it here.

[DARK PENSIVE MUSIC CONTINUES]

In here.

[OMINOUS MUSIC STING]

I read something about transformation.

She must have taken a new face to hide herself.

[MUSIC BECOMES TENSE]

[DOCTOR] Do you want to see it?

[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]

[TENSE MUSIC STING]

I'm sure she did exactly that.

She takes advantage of things to get what she wants.

I know her.

That's why she wanted Mister Samuel under her watch.

She wanted Papa under her control.

And now she's back

to do the same to me.

[EERIE MUSIC PLAYING]

[TENSE MUSIC PLAYS, CRESCENDOS]

- Happy day! - Happy day!

I won't let her affect Matmat and me.

What are you doing here?

He's out of the hospital, and you're still visiting him?

They've found the body.

The killer's still unknown.

"Useless children must be thrown out to the sea."

We'll fight, Mia.

I won't let her ruin the life I have now.

Matmat just got home.
