It's a shame what happened to your mother.

It's a shame what happened to your mother.

She was such a kind woman.

Have you thought of selling your house and land?

Ask anyone around here,

I'll give you a fair price.

The name's Mister Soprono.

What the devil?!

What the devil?!

This stove won't stop heating up!

It just won't...

Good thing it rained, or this would have been a huge fire.

How unlucky.

You said that right. You could have gotten my beautiful horse.

I still have some plants and my plot of land.

Who will take care of that? Me?

Do I look like a farmer to you?

Without a horse, I'll never be able to leave this place.

Wait! Wait.

Don't worry. We can still come to an agreement.

Saint Clare, most refined,

grant me my request

thirteen wives in all

who after some beating won't complain at all.

Saint Clare...

- Did you find him? - He's not here!

- Not here either! - Nothing.

Look for him in the grass.

- Not here! - Nothing!

Mother of...

Quiet down, Kidlat. Let's talk about this later.

You can do it, huh?

Why did you hit me?!

Fool!

You idiot! You scared me!

Shameless! Communists! Anarchists!

You must thank God I am a man of peace.

If I were not, I would have butchered you all!

Come back you cowards! Come back!

You will never enter the Kingdom of God!

What were they thinking? Oh my God!

Please have mercy! Don't kill me, please.

I'm not a priest. I'm not a priest.

I'm not Spanish. I'm Visayan!

I didn't realize Visayans were that pale.

You're not a bandit?

I'm not.

Why do you have a weapon?

No reason.

Blessed are you mister.

You must have been heaven sent to help me out.

Take this. Take this.

Don't leave! Don't leave! Stay here, okay?

Wait!

Stop! Stop!

What are you doing?

Just riding my horse.

Riding your horse? Do you not see I'm a priest?

But you just said you're not a priest.

I said no such thing!

You have a horse. You're traveling with a priest.

The priest rides the horse, you walk.

Help me up.

Wait. Wait.

Kidlat, mind yourself. You might commit a sin.

Come on, pull!

Don Alfonso, what's going on?

We're leaving for Manila. We just sold the house.

But, why?

Haven't you heard? The fighting's have started.

Revolution is here again.

You idiot! You're not doing it right.

We are worried about the children. We have many.

Yes, my friend. But that's still not right!

My confreres, what has happened after all these years?

Look who's coming, the ever-famous Father Gil.

I hope you enjoyed your vacation.

Yes, I'm sure the Reverend Bishop would be so delighted to listen to your stories.

Oh yes, the Bishop.

This man is a criminal! He abducted me and brought me to the mountains!

Put him in jail! Please Lieutenant, put him in jail!

- Yes, that's right. - This man abducted me...

- I was the one who saved him. - And took me to the mountains!

He's a bastard. Believe me!

You, come here. Arrest him!

He tortured me for three weeks in the mountains.

Wait, what's happening?

Six hundred is too much. How about seven hundred?

You're making a fool out of me. Why are you screaming so loud?

It hurts.

It hurts?

Yes.

I could hardly lift my arm.

But it hurts so much.

It hurts?

- Yes sir. - Alright, then we'll press on.

Continue with your screaming.

Nice and loud.

Yes sir.

That's enough.

Let him clean up and get dressed. Take him to the convent.

Here he is, Father Gil.

Son, don't be afraid. What's your name?

I'm Kulas. Nicolas Ocampo.

I'm Father Gil. I forgive you.

Kulas, do you regret what you did?

I do.

If I ever see you again, I'm not stopping over.

Kindly, Father. Could you please leave us alone?

I shall try to convert this man into a good Christian.

You are such a good man.

I have always struggled to be good. But we are still human, aren't we?

Well, I will just be around.

Thank you Father, thank you.

Are you hungry?

Have something to eat.

Come closer. Come closer.

No, my son, no.

Stand up. Stand up.

You know, Kulas, priests are humans too, just like you.

I have a son who's six or seven years old now.

He doesn't have a mother anymore.

I wanted to bring him to Manila, but I failed to do so.

Will you take him there for me, Kulas?

You won't regret it.

Kulas, I have faith in you.

This is very important to me.

What's your boy's name, Father?

Erminigildo. Bindoy.

Kulas?

Where does he live?

He's in Barrio Santa Rosa. You'll easily spot him.

He's the only Filipino there. A Filipino, like me.

Men of Barrio Santa Rosa,

we are all expected to fight for our country.

We will fight to the death with whatever weapon we have!

Long live independence!

Long live independence!

Hey,

there's someone coming.

I don't recognize him.

Do we attack?

Announce yourself, young man.

I must warn you,

if you were sent here as an invader by the Spanish government,

then prepare to die.

For all these men before you are united in defending our independence.

Now, what have you to say?

Does Bindoy live here?

What did he say?

Bindoy?

A young boy named Bindoy, the priest's son.

I'm here to take him home.

Thank goodness. Come with me.

Brothers, he's not an enemy.

A bit soft in the head, but not an enemy.

Brothers, let's continue our congregation!

Who took the flag down? Raise the flag!

Aura!

Aura!

You son of a bitch! Why are you here? Go join the Katipuneros for all I care!

- Enough, Aura! - Enough!?

We have a visitor. He's here to take Bindoy.

Bindoy?

You're taking Bindoy?

Yes, ma'am. If it's fine with you.

Bindoy!

Come in.

Bindoy!

Screaming at me in front of our neighbors. How embarrassing.

- There you are. Come here! Come here! - I don't want to! No!

- Come here! - No!

Mister Kulas, how are we related?

I don't know.

I think your mother is my cousin,

but I'm not sure.

What I'm certain of is that I'm taking you to your father in Manila.

- My father? - Yes.

Auntie said my father is dead.

No, he's very much alive. And he's a priest!

That's a huge honor.

Priest?

- Yes, and he's taking you with him. - Where?

Where else, but to the Spanish settlement in Iloilo!

I don't think so.

Yes, he will.

- No, he won't. - Yes, he will.

. No! . Okay.

This boy is so stubborn.

- How about Zamboanga? - No!

- Morong Morong? - No!

- Paete? - No.

You're so stubborn. Didn't I tell you that won't work?

Cut down some wood as replacement. It won't last in that state!

Aren't you the one in charge here? Why did you let this happen?

I had no control over this. It was an accident.

You, get up and help. Why aren't you helping?

Why would I? I'm not a carpenter. I'm an actor!

Well, who isn't an actor in this group?

You and your excuses!

That was unacceptable during the time of the Katipunan!

We used to be a united race! We had each other's backs!

We learned that from the great Andres Bonifacio.

That man's already dead!

Yes, he's dead. Killed by traitors!

Good day, sir.

Good day to you.

Can you help us? Would you know how to fix this?

Fix what?

Our wheel.

I can try. I'm not very familiar with this but let's see.

Your wheel is perfectly fine.

Then why is it not working?

There's no...

There!

A branch is stuck in the axle.

Axle? What's an axle?

Now that's leader material. Someone who's not an idiot.

Watch your mouth!

That place was swarming with ants!

Thank goodness, we can continue our journey to Manila.

- You're going to Manila? - Yes.

Can we ride with you? We'll take care of our own food.

We still need to pass through several towns for our show.

That won't be a bother.

Saint Monica!

And there you go! Amazing, isn't it? Amazing!

Beloved members of the audience and other dear spectators,

while we prepare for our special, one-of-a-kind stage drama,

gracing your town for the first time,

allow me to introduce to you all, my lovely daughter, Diding.

And now without further ado, we present to you a song

brought to life by two voices in perfect harmony,

mine and my daughter Diding's.

Maestro!

My native land, a beautiful maiden.

Flower in a garden.

No equal in beauty.

Providing ease in my life.

You are like a star.

Shining bright in the night.

So your moon H! Wish to be.

A moon that's yours alone.

This promise I give only to you.

In your beauty, my sadness disappears.

Your glance that brings joy into the course of life.

Has anyone gone to fetch drinking water?

I'm not fetching any water!

Who's fetching the water, then? Me? I'm the manager here.

So many detours! We're going to be late!

This was unacceptable during the time of the Katipunan.

We only had our destination in mind.

We didn't stop by every passing river just to rest, bathe, and wash clothes.

We always say, "Filipinos united in thought, in feeling, and in deed."

Yes, united indeed, united in being irresponsible!

What kind of Filipino is that?

Wait. My wig is starting to straighten up.

That I agree with.

Diding.

Kulas, come here! Let's take a bath for a bit!

No, thanks. I need to sharpen my bolo knife.

Come here! I have a Whetstone!

Diding...

Yes?

Your show last night was great.

You call that performance great?

I wanted to apologize for what I did last night.

I was just moved by your beautiful performance.

Diding, you probably won't acknowledge me anymore if you become famous.

If?!

Of course I'll be famous.

Someday, the whole world will know my name.

Diding, the Filipina actress.

Why do you dream of becoming famous?

Are you content with your life now?

I don't know. But that doesn't really cross my mind.

You're so naive, Kulas.

You need to look out for yourself out there.

It's a dog-eat-dog world.

There are people coming! They're on horses!

From the forest? Those might be thieves.

Get down from there. Let's move the carriages!

- Where are we going?! - Get down! Hurry!

Hide the boxes! The thieves shouldn't see those!

Let's hide there! Hurry!

Hey! This isn't my job! I'm not your driver!

Kidlat, stay here, okay? Stay here for now. You'll be safe here.

- Kulas? Kulas! Kulas! - Where's Diding?

Let's just stay here, Kulas! Let's stay here, Kulas!

Where's Diding?

Let's stay here! Stop trying to leave, Kulas!

Saint Monica! Kidlat, stay there!

Kulas! Kulas!

Diding!

Be quiet!

Diding!

Why are you standing there? Are you going to fight?!

Don't be afraid. I'll keep you safe.

What are we doing? We're not soldiers.

They're wounded.

We can take them out.

Take them out? We're not soldiers.

You two, stop with that nonsense.

Mind your own business.

What are you doing?

Attack, brothers! Attack!

Oh. Misfire.

Retreat! Retreat! Go back! Go back!

We'll take you on next time!

Retreat! Retreat!

Penyo! What's happening? What's all this commotion?

The Spanish forces have been driven out. We're free! Long live the country!

So what?! Will that bring our boxes back?

Why not? Our leader here is part of the Katipunan.

Finally! You'll finally be of use to us.

Leave it to me. Don't worry.

You got that right!

Because if you can't get us replacements for our belongings,

then ifs about time our group splits up!

- How about our fare money? - That's not my problem! I have my own!

Calm down! Stop with your bickering. We need to think this through.

Why? Didn't you tell us you're part of the Katipunan?

Even the Katipunan needs to think!

Fortunato Capili?

Who?

That's you.

Do you recognize me?

I'm sorry, sir, but...

It's really you!

You were the commander of the Magdiwang in San Miguel.

My brother died there because you sold him out!

You're a spy of the Spaniards!

No, sir. I had nothing to do with that. Why-

Arrest this man!

No! Why are you arresting me? I had nothing to do with-

Thieves! Thieves!

Mister Kulas, are we going to jail?

No. We didn't do anything wrong.

Why won't they let us leave?

I don't know.

You can all go!

Let's go, before they change their mind.

Go on, Kulas, they said you can leave.

What about you?

Diding needs to stay here for further investigation.

You and your group can go.

Uhm, I'll just wait here, sir.

I said, you can go.

Go on, Kulas. I can take care of myself.

Where can I see you again?

Let's go, Bindoy.

We could have gone with the others, if you weren't too focused on Diding.

That's enough, Bindoy.

But I'm already tired.

We don't need to go to Manila.

We can't stop now. Not when I have no idea where we are.

I'm hungry!

Well so am I.

Are you helping the insurrection?

No, sir. I just sell.

I don't want trouble. I have many problems already.

Is that so? Okay, you can leave those here.

Sure. I can add more if you like.

What? Are you trying to bribe me?

No, sir.

You're good. You can leave.

You there, where's your identification?

Come on, Bindoy.

What are you looking at? We already paid.

Good morning, sir.

Sir? No sir here. Chinese people aren't called sir.

My name is Lim.

What do you need?

We were hoping to get to Manila but we don't know how to get there.

Manila? It is chaotic in Manila now. Why do you want to go?

I need to take Bindoy there. I made a promise to his father.

Sorry, I cannot help.

Okay, get in!

- Hurry, Mister Kulas! - Bindoy!

Um, what does Manila look like?

Big chaotic, with all kinds of people.

Spaniards, Chinese, and many whites.

And Filipinos as well.

Filipinos? That's what I said, Spaniards.

Mister Atong said we're the true Filipinos.

Those who were born and raised here.

Then that makes me a Filipino too. I was born here.

But you're clearly Chinese.

What about you? You're Tagalog, you come from the mountains.

How is that Filipino?

I don't understand it either.

There's really no difference.

Chinese, Tagalog, Filipino,

Life is the same for everyone, there is no money.

Go on inside.

Kulas, this is my house.

That's your house?

It's huge!

No, our house is on the first floor.

Someone else live upstairs.

This is my wife.

Good morning, ma'am.

You can do that later. Let's eat first.

Kulas, go on and eat.

Lim, Manila is so big.

Do you know howl can find the San Sulpicio convent?

Have you heard of it?

No. I rarely go to church.

Why?

Don't worry, we'll look for it tomorrow.

Seked knows about that church. It's near his store.

That's good. I'll ask Seked to go with you tomorrow.

Okay.

You like the food?

Yes, it's delicious. It's my first time trying this dish.

Next time, add more lizard tails alright?

This is the church.

You're not coming with us?

I don't want to. There aren't any customers here.

Excuse me, sir.

Good morning, sir.

Is the priest here?

Never mind, I'll ask someone else.

Hello?

Is anyone there?

What is it?

Good morning, sir.

Is Father Gil there?

Why?

I brought his son.

What?!

This is his son.

Guards! Guards! Arrest this man!

Bindoy! Run, Bindoy!

Hurry!

Bindoy! Wait! Excuse us!

Mister Kulas!

Mister Kulas!

Excuse me again!

- We'll just leave! - Mister Kulas! Let go of me!

Mister Kulas!

We'll just leave!

Oh! Mister Kulas!

Why are you here? What was your offense?

Nothing.

Look at that. Innocent, yet taken to jail.

These men are really testing us Filipinos.

What happened?

The same as before.

They beat, punched, and kicked me but I didn't say anything.

What were they asking?

A lot of things.

They asked for my name.

And?

I told them. Onofre Baltao.

They weren't surprised?

No.

Then they haven't heard yet.

Who are you?

I'm Nicolas Ocampo.

We're escaping tomorrow. I saw a hidden passageway.

No one will be left behind.

We're in this together!

Nicolas Ocampo, come with me.

Here he is.

This is such an inconvenience for you Captain.

This is much appreciated.

Don't mention it. It is my pleasure.

You're Nicolas Ocampo?

Yes, sir.

How do you know Father Gil Corcuera?

I don't, sir. I don't know him.

Lying won't do you any good.

You'll be imprisoned here forever if you don't confess.

I'll ask you again, how do you know Father Gil Corcuera?

I don't know him.

Kulas,

Father Gil was right about trusting you.

I'm Tibor Leynes, Father Gil's attorney.

I came here to tell you that you're free.

And not only that,

you're a rich man now.

Kulas! Kulas! My guardian angel!

My most treasured possession!

My brown brother!

Come, come into my arms!

Good heavens! I can't believe it.

Surely. But here he is in front of you.

Thank you very much for paying my prison bail, Father Gil.

No, Kulas. I should be the one expressing my gratitude to you.

Do you like this house?

Yes, it's beautiful.

I've never been in such a beautiful house before.

This house and everything in it is now yours.

Come with me!

Did Don Tibor explain everything to you?

Yes, but I don't know a lot about those legal matters.

Don't worry.

This is Concordia.

She'll be attending to all your needs in the house.

I hope to serve you as best as I can, sir.

You don't have to bother.

No. That's Concordia's responsibility.

She's being paid to take care of you.

That's enough Concordia. Stop talking.

We'll call you if we need anything.

Come. Let me show you the house.

Oh my, we're still not done cleaning.

Maria, come here, help me with this.

Concordia, leave that behind for now and do it later.

We need to talk.

Okay. Let's go outside first.

I've been assigned to return to Spain soon.

When I leave, Kulas here will be the sole guardian of Bindoy.

So I'm giving him all my dividends in the tobacco company.

Bindoy shall be the heir of my entire estate, understood?

My good friend and trusted attorney, Tibor,

will be the administrator while Bindoy is not yet of age.

When Bindoy grows up, he'll live with me in Spain.

But before that time comes, he'll stay here and study in Manila.

Is everything clear?

Understood.

Kulas?

I'm not sure I can handle that.

I've never gone to school.

Don't worry about that. We're here, we'll teach you.

Where's Bindoy?

Mister Kulas!

Bindoy!

Come here, young man, give me a kiss.

This is Leonor, Concordia's daughter.

Bindoy, you look so different.

They actually bathe you here.

Behold the most beautiful couple in Manila!

Kulas?

Look what's happening now.

Some Indios are acting as though they were Filipinos.

What can you expect?

I'm just telling you.

Are you enjoying yourselves?

Of course.

That's good.

Who's winning?

Don't even ask. Such a nuisance.

The losers always end up in a bad mood.

So Kulas,

did you hear what they said?

Hear what?

The Spaniards, they still think they're the true Filipinos.

Aren't they right?

Not anymore.

Times have changed.

Then who are the Filipinos now?

People like me.

Those who willingly serve and accept responsibility.

We're quite plenty now, you know.

Am I part of that too?

Not yet.

But someday, you'll earn that title.

Then I can take a nap for the time being.

There's your room.

Anything else that we need to do here?

No.

And so, just call on me should you need anything.

My husband...

My husband...

He left but he'll be back soon.

No, I saw him under the stairs.

He is very drunk.

We can do anything we want.

I can't live like this. Never!

Is that a bed?

I can't live like this either.

Yes, it's a bed. Let's talk more about it there.

What about your vow of chastity?

I am yours.

What are you doing?

What are you doing, woman?

What are you doing?

Kulas?

Father Gil!

Kulas? Kulas!

Kulas, you rescued me from sin!

So I told him: "if it's too expensive, don't buy."

Wasn't it good? My Spanish is getting good.

You two are very sweet to each other!

- You're making fun of me! - No!

Diding! Diding!

What's wrong, Kulas?

It's nothing.

Why?

It's nothing. Silly mistake.

Bindoy will like it here. He'll have lots of friends.

Mister Kulas, I don't like it here. Can't I just go with you to your work?

Don't think that way, Bindoy. You're still young.

Don't be like me, don't waste your chance to study.

Once you grow up this tall, I'll let you work with me.

They'll let me?

Yes, of course.

Come along, Bindoy. I'll introduce you to your classmates.

So, Bindoy, I'm leaving now, alright?

Mister Kulas!

Your clothes look good.

I hope you trip.

It's all settled, Father.

I'll never have the chance to be a real father to that boy.

I can never take him to school.

He'll understand it someday.

Kulas, take care of him for me.

Yes, Father.

I'll write to you.

Be sure to reply.

If you have trouble with that, ask for help from Tibor or Concordia.

The United States have already declared war on Spain.

The American forces will probably arrive soon.

But don't worry, your lives won't change.

Serve the Lord, my son.

Guard your money. And most of all, never fall into poverty again.

The Lord loves the poor, but only He loves them.

You're right about that.

Sir, are you looking for someone?

Yes, I'm looking for a young woman named Diding.

Would you happen to know her?

No, I don't. But I do know Indang.

She's a seamstress, and she really likes you.

That girl over there!

- She's not the one I'm looking for. - Sir!

- Sir! - No.

I finally found you, you traitor!

Stop that!

Have faith, Don Cadulfo. Faith.

Obey His commandments. Listen to your conscience.

Leave me alone, Honorata. I am not afraid to die.

Death is with me all the way.

I, I alone am to be blamed, Don Cadulfo.

Hey, you idiot, what are you trying to do?

Of course, I know what I'm supposed to do. Laugh isn't it?

I'll give the prompt when it is time for you to laugh.

Now, do it.

I'm sorry but I need another handkerchief.

Matilde!

Diding?

Diding!

Kulas?

Diding!

What is it?

Are you part of the play?

No, I'm just watching them. Come.

Let's talk here.

Diding, I've been searching for you for a long time.

Your clothes look expensive, even if it's a bit dirty.

You must be rich now.

I just got lucky.

Yes, you're lucky.

So, what brings you here?

Guard the door. No one leaves.

My brothers, what's going on?

Sir, do you know the man we're looking for?

Yes, sir.

Can you come with us?

Diding, are you leaving?

No.

I'll be back alright.

These Indios don't get tired of pressing charges!

As if they don't believe in any God.

They wish to govern themselves but you know how it would end up?

Slaughter and death.

This situation makes people who are normally peace loving, become like Kidlat!

You've seen my horse?

Does this fool understand me?

Do you understand what the commander is saying?

Is it about my horse?

No, sir.

Talk to him.

We need your help.

We were told you witnessed Kidlat kill one of the guards earlier.

No, sir. Kidlat is the name of my horse.

The man I saw earlier was Onofre Baltao. I met him in prison.

Baltao?

Is this the man?

Is that Baltao?

Yes.

Yes.

Look, Lieutenant. He's such a good man!

Give me your hand!

Here you go.

By the way, I was given a house and dividends for the tobacco company.

I guess I just got lucky.

So I was hoping that...

if you say yes,

we can get married.

I can give you whatever you want now.

Get married?

I know I am not good enough for you, Diding.

It's not that, Kulas.

I already told you my dream before.

And even after all this time,

my dream hasn't changed.

Then let me help you achieve your dream.

I am willing to accept your offer, Kulas, and I'm ready to pay you back in any way.

But I never want to be owned by anyone.

Not ever.

- Stop here. I'll go ahead. - Where do you live?

You don't have to go with me.

- I'll walk you home. - It's really close anyway.

No, I'm alright. You don't have to. Thank you.

Go on. I'll be fine.

Rascals! Hey!

Go! You rascals! Hey! Little devils!

Diding.

Diding.

What are you doing here?

I was worried you might fall.

Are you an idiot?!

You're like a crazed dog that keeps following me around.

Didn't you hear what I said?

I said you don't need to walk me home.

I don'! Need help from you or your money, understand?

Especially no! From an arrogant idiot like you.

I've had men even richer than you try to seduce me,

but I've turned them all down. They're no match for me.

What makes you think you are?

Get out of here.

Go. I don't want to see you again. I said leave!

Are you mad at me?

En garde.

He's over there, sir.

Diding, wait for me here.

Kulas, what brings you here?

Good morning, Mister Tibor. Sorry for disturbing you.

Not at all. How can I help you?

Do you know a theater owner who specializes in zarzuelas?

A zarzuela composer? You know I don't accept clients of that kind.

You're the only person I can count on for help.

Kulas, it's my job to help you as best as I can,

but on matters like that...

Touche!

Touche!

A zarzuela composer?

I know some people who can help.

Well...

I have lots of connections for that.

Why did you put a marble on your teacher's bedroom floor?

Didn't you consider the fact that you could end up hurting him?

Father Silva might never walk again.

What a disaster.

Why don't you behave like your other classmates?

They make fun of me.

I don't want to study anymore.

That's not an option. How can you go to Spain if you don't study?

Are you coming with me to Spain?

Probably not.

Mister Kulas, the priest said they want me to become a Filipino like them.

What does that mean?

I don't know.

Maybe they just want you to be a good boy.

To love others, not hurt them.

Bindoy, do you remember Diding? The actress we met?

The flirt?

You watch your tongue or I'll hit you!

Did you ask the stars during those cloudless nights?

Squat!

No, Alfonso.

I'm responsible for your death.

Though I promised to love you till the end of time.

With my own life,

I shall keep that promise I made.

The happiness I failed to give you,

I can now offer to you at last.

Bravo! Bravo!

See, what did I tell you?

But her voice isn't so good when you listen to it.

Maybe she should start in a small theater.

Primo, how is the sugar market doing these days?

Well, quite poor actually.

So, will you still wait for it?

You know,

her expression is quite good.

Maybe if I help her...

That's what I said!

What did he say?

It's all settled.

Diding,

my cousin is very impressed.

Yes?

Yes!

Yes, very impressed.

Definitely!

Have one more glass.

Diding, isn't that too much? You might get drunk.

Kulas, it's bad manners to leave a bottle unfinished.

She might have trouble going home.

Stop deciding for me, Kulas.

I'm not a child.

Young miss, to you and your bright future.

Ah, wait. I know what will make this even better.

Sefiorita, would you do me the honor?

Diding?

Diding.

It's time for you to go home.

I'll take you home, Diding.

What's wrong with you?

We're having fun.

If you're in such a hurry, then go home.

Don't worry, Kulas.

She's in good hands.

Am I?

Well, aren't you?

Oh, sir, what are you doing there?

Why? Should I be somewhere else?

Should I light some candles?

You don't have to.

I'm just staying here for a while.

Did I wake you?

I wasn't asleep, sir.

If you don't need anything else, sir, I'll go ahead.

Leonor, wait.

Yes?

Leonor, are you happy in this house?

Me?

Yes, of course. Why wouldn't I be?

And your mother? Is she happy?

Why do you ask, sir?

This house just seems sad to me.

And if you and your mother are happy,

then that means I'm the one with the problem, right?

You're not sure?

Not really.

For all my good luck, what should I be sad about?

Oh, Kulas,

I didn't know you're even more childish than me.

I know that.

Leonor, is there any food left?

Who's there?

Diding.

What's wrong? Who's with you?

He just fell and couldn't stand up anymore. I didn't do anything.

What? Who?

It's Tibor. He might be sick. Come, you need to see him.

Yes.

Leonor, I'll be gone for a while.

I thought you were already asleep?

What were you two talking about?

Nothing.

Nothing?!

You were out here talking, and you're telling me it's nothing?

What kind of answer is that?

What were you talking about?

Do you like that man?

Get this through your head.

I didn't suffer for this long...

just so you can fall in love with an uneducated man.

Do you understand?

You know I love you very much, right?

Go on, sleep.

Do I lift his legs?

No, just prepare the bed.

Kulas, I'm scared. Shouldn't we call for a doctor?

There's no need for that. Look at how soundly he's sleeping.

Help me lift him.

What are you doing?

To help with his breathing.

No, no, don't do that.

He might wake up and see what you're doing.

He'll definitely faint again.

Quiet down, he might wake up.

Why? No, be quiet. Be quiet.

Stop it.

Come on, let's go.

Let's go home.

Good evening, Miss Concordia.

This is Diding.

My future wife.

Please excuse us.

Diding.

What the devil?

Thief!

Thief!

Hey, that's mine! Thief!

Block him!

Stop him!

Hey! That's mine! That's mine! Hey! That's mine!

Thief! Thief! My money! My money! Thief! That's mine!

Let go of me!

I said let go of me!

My money was stolen.

- Help! He's stealing my money! - My money!

Mister Atong?

Mister Atong!

Kulas?

Is it really you?

Mister Atong.

Kulas!

Fate is playing cruel tricks on me again.

- Kulas? - Mister Atong?

Wait, I'm talking.

You're a picture of wealth and grandeur.

While here I am, a picture of hunger and poverty.

Countless times I've been forced to endure the pangs of hunger.

There were nights...

I was terrified I would no longer witness the sun rising for me the next day.

Oh dear Lord, what have I done to deserve all this suffering?

Is this yours?

Don't worry about that.

Come with me.

Your daughter is at my home. Your daughter, Diding.

' Diding? . Yes!

I can't. I'm too ashamed.

Why are you ashamed?

She thinks you're dead.

Then let her continue believing I'm dead.

I don't want her to feel sorry for my state.

No, come with me. When Diding sees you,

I'm sure she'll be very happy.

I knew you'd be surprised!

It really is exciting to reunite with long-lost family!

You know, Mister Atong, Diding always talks about you.

Right, Diding?

Yes, that's right.

Don't you have anything to say to your father, Diding?

It's good that you're still alive.

Thanks, my dear.

Miss Concordia, do we have any food?

Diding, didn't I tell you nothing happened to your father?

I was right, wasn't I?

Excuse me, sir. Will he be staying here as well?

Yes. He's Diding's father.

Mister Atong, this is Miss Concordia.

Leonor, let's prepare some food.

We're back together again. Let the merriment commence!

Diding?!

What is it, sir?

Have you seen Diding?

No, I haven't. Wasn't she in the bedroom with you?

She's not there. And her clothes are missing too.

Leonor?

Mister Atong, have you seen Diding?

Who? It's hard to clean these candlesticks.

Mister Atong, Diding left without telling anyone.

Let's look for her.

Wait, wait, Kulas. Hold on. Can you think of any reason...

why she would just leave without telling anyone?

No, I can't.

Then if that's the case, we should just wait for her.

I'm sure she'll be back.

But she took all her clothes with her.

I'll go look for her.

Wait, sir. Wait.

Don Tibor is still sleeping. He'll get mad if...

Oh, Kulas!

What is it?

Diding left.

She left?

When?

Why?

I've looked for her everywhere.

Were you two in a fight?

No.

That's terrible news.

Go home for now. Wait for me there.

I'll help you search. I just need to get dressed.

I can wait for you here.

Wait here? That's a waste of time.

Have you gone to the train station?

Why don't you ask around there? Go on.

Do you think...

Stop wasting your time, Kulas.

I'm not coming with you.

Is this necessary?

Don Tibor, can't we talk this through?

Kulas is still very young.

He doesn't know what he's doing.

I hope you extend your understanding for whatever he's done.

I know what I'm doing.

I don't need any advice from an Indio.

Indio? We're both Filipinos.

Both Filipinos?

That's a bold dream.

Don't test my patience.

Are you ready, Kulas?

Gentlemen, are you ready?

I suggest you accept defeat. There's some honor in that.

Sir!

Fight like a man!

Don't! Don't, Kulas!

Kulas, don't! Don't!

Kulas, don't. Don't! He's not worth it.

- He's not worth it. - What?

You need to know something first.

There's something you need to know.

Kulas, calm down. Anger is a sin against God.

Sir, you forgot something.

If you're heading somewhere, Kulas, you can use my carriage.

I don't believe you.

I have no idea whether her real parents are still alive.

She just showed up and never left.

She was around fifteen then.

I took her in and pretended she was my daughter...

to escape from my troubles with the Spanish guards and priests.

Kulas, let's have your wound checked.

You're lying.

Yes, I usually am. But I'm telling the truth this time.

I'm not doing this to change your perception of Diding.

I'm not telling you to stop loving her either.

But she knows what she's doing.

We shouldn't blame other people for her actions.

Perhaps Berta here knows a thing or two about her situation.

Berta, why don't you explain it to Kulas?

I can explain anything you want.

You can ask that to anyone here.

What is it you want me to explain to you, love?

Looks like I'll be doing the explaining to you again.

Friends, I have good news.

The American forces have arrived. Their ships are already in Cavite.

So what? Are you an American?

No, I'm not.

But I'm not spending my entire life kissing the feet of Spaniards.

What did you say?

No Indio can talk to me that way.

Friends, we have a new kind of Spaniard here.

Darker than coal and cam speak straight Spanish,

yet a true Spaniard in arrogance.

Take that back.

Your guns never scared Jose Rizal.

Then say hello to him for me.

Kulas! Kulas! Kulas, let's go!

The doctor's office is nearby. Why don't we call for him?

No, it's okay.

I just need some rest.

Take off his slippers.

I'll go get a towel.

I didn't know ending a life is that easy.

Whatever your reason, be it good or bad.

You can kill just like that.

What happened to him?

Nothing.

He's just drunk.

Take off his slippers.

Leonor, it's okay.

I'm leaving anyway.

I can't live here anymore.

I can't keep living like this.

Where are you going?

I don't know.

Kulas, if you're leaving this house, won't you take me with you?

I want to leave this place too.

I won't be a burden, I promise.

What will become of us then?

Nestor, what are you-

Sir Ocampo.

The commander wants to speak to you.

Do you know him?

Do you know him?

No, I dam.

He doesn't know him but I know who he is. He's Baltao.

Is he the man that killed the soldier?

Isn't he the man named Kidlat?

Onofre Baltao?

The man you saw kill a guard?

I don't recognize him.

But that is Baltao. He was with you in prison.

I'm not sure.

Since you're such good friends, you watch each other's back and go to hell!

Captain, he knows a lot of people.

Well, he knows no one now. They both can go to hell!

How unlucky.

We're both locked up again.

I didn't know they call you Kidlat.

That's probably why I feel at ease when I'm with you.

You and my horse have the same name...

Wait!

Guards! Help me!

Stop that!

Wait! Stop it.

Let's see you try that in Santiago Prison.

Kulas!

Run!

Fifty.

Seven.

Plus twelve.

Equals sixty nine.

Hurry UP-

I am.

Kulas, what happened?

Go to your room. Go on.

Go on.

Come in.

The guards are looking for us, Lim.

We didn't have anywhere else to go.

This is my friend, Baltao.

Lim, do you know someone who can help with our wounds?

I'll call someone. Come in.

Don? Blame us for what is happening.

You are a part of this.

We will leave tomorrow.

Can we trust you?

Of course.

They should leave. If they don't, you will be responsible.

Yes. We'll leave tomorrow.

How are you? Are you feeling better?

Who were you talking to?

Nobody. Just friends.

Where are you going tomorrow?

Don't think that you can easily fool us Filipinos.

I wasn't lying. They were just my friends.

If you tell the guards that I'm here,

I'll kill you all.

You don't have to do that.

I'll kill her first.

Don't worry. We won't tell the guards.

Keep this in mind, the revolution will triumph in the end.

Don't let them pass.

Stop those men!

Where are they?

They're already on the bridge.

- How many? - Around twenty in their group.

They are now at the bridge. Around twenty men.

What is it, sir? Can't we pass through?

There are Magdalo soldiers on the bridge. No one is allowed to pass.

How are we supposed to get to Mandaluyong?

I don't know. You can swim if you like.

But we came along way.

No one is allowed to pass!

Position yourselves at the gate!

Three personnel on both sides.

Others behind the walls.

You three, cover the road exits.

Everyone else, disperse.

Hurry.

Run!

Stop! Everyone stop!

Can't you hear it?

The cannons have stopped!

The American forces have reached Manila!

- Long live the country! - Long live the country!

- Long live the Filipino people! - Long live the Filipino people!

He was the kindest man We ever known.

He valued me...

for who I am as a person.

If not for me, he'd still be alive now.

Hey, friend. Friend.

Hey, I'm looking for a woman.

Well howdy. Welcome to the pearly gates.

Bet you six bits you never thought you'd make it.

You should thank the American forces.

You were saved by an American soldier.

Oh horse feathers and on a Saturday afternoon too.

Just lay him over here.

Hey fellas, can you hold it down?

Come on, pal.

Keep I! Down there, boy. This will just take a minute.

That's H. Take H easy.

How much for your rice cake? It's too expensive.

Hey! You looking for someone?

Good morning, uncle. Who are you looking for?

I live here. This is my house.

What's his story?

Says he owns the place.

Tell him to take a walk.

Why don't you go for a walk? Go on.

I can't do that. I live here.

Stop right there!

Shoot him! He's a spy of the Spanish forces! Spanish spy!

Miss Concordia, what's going on?

And you have the nerve to return here?

What do you want? You want to drag us down with you, you traitor?

Times have changed.

I'm the owner of this house now.

What's going on down there?

What's all the screaming about? And who's he?

Major Whimple, sir.

Keep your gun on him, stupid.

Major Whimple, my son, I need your help.

This spy is trying to take my house away from me.

Leonor, I'm begging you, please tell them the truth.

Hey, boy, you don't talk to her. Nobody talks to her. She's mine.

He says he owns the place, sir. She says he's a Spanish spy.

A spy, a SPY-

Yeah well, she's prettier than he is.

You tell him to go find himself another claim.

Tell him we're here to enforce the United States Constitution.

I can't handle that, sir.

Well, just throw him out. He'll get the idea.

Right.

But I own this house!

Mister Kulas!

What are you doing here?

I escaped from school after it got hit by a bomb.

I've been here for a while.

Who are those people in the house?

What happened to you?

You need to go back to school.

Who will take care of you?

This is nothing.

I know where Diding is. I saw her.

You need to return to school.

It's true. I'll take you to her.

Where?

Let's go.

Are we going in?

No, we better not.

Mister Kulas!

Rest so you'll feel better.

You need it.

Perhaps it's enough that I tell you I love you,

and that I'll never leave you again.

I won't ever leave you again.

I'll never leave you again.

I'll never leave you again.

I'll never leave you again.

Oh, you're awake.

I just came back from school. I took Bindoy there.

That little rascal.

If my driver wash'! There to help, he probably would have escaped.

Did I wake you?

Not at all. The noise woke me up.

Oh, the noise?

A lot has changed since the Americans arrived.

It's just that people are difficult to understand sometimes.

Before, we used to hate the Spaniards.

Now that they're gone, we're waging war against the Americans,

when they've done nothing to hurt us.

And now, we have another revolution.

The Tagalogs really are something. Such arrogant people.

They're nothing like Visayans.

My people know when to fight and when to just accept our situation.

Right?

But I'm not generalizing.

There are Tagalogs who are well-behaved.

I mean, good-natured. Like you.

What are the Filipinos doing?

Well, naturally...

That's a hard question to answer right now.

Is this your home with Diding?

I'm not living with Diding, Kulas.

I have a wife in Iloilo.

You never gave me a chance to explain back then.

Well, about Concordia...

She's just fooling herself.

She has no right to claim that house.

What you need to worry about...

is your pension from your dividends in the tobacco company.

It might close down.

It seems your money is on shaky ground.

But there's still hope.

He doesn't need to worry about that.

Kulas needs his rest for now.

You can discuss that next time.

By the way, Tibor,

I heard there's a ship arriving from Iloilo.

Aren't you going to the port?

Not really,

but I need to attend to something at the office.

Kulas.

Please close the door on your way out.

Sure.

Why are you on your feet?

You need to rest so you'll feel better.

And once you've fully recovered,

we can finally get married.

Are you hungry?

No.

You're not?

I'll cook for you later then.

Smile the while you kiss me sad adieu.

When the clouds roll by, HI come to you.

So wait and pray each night for me

'ti! We meet again.

Smile the while you kiss me sad adieu.

When the clouds roll by, HI come to you.

So wait and pray each night for me

'ti! We meet again.

Do you want me to get your tobacco?

Are you sleepy?

Don't be afraid.

I've already filed the order to have Concordia taken out of your house.

But we need to get there as soon as we can,

or that witch might end up bribing the mayor.

But won't she...

When it comes to your properties, nothing should slip through your fingers.

You can't be too soft on these matters.

I guess you're right...

Walking papers?

Yeah. Looks like somebody won himself a home.

Oh, shit.

Leonor!

Get up!

Get up!

Leonor!

Get up!

Get up!

Get up! Get up!

- Concordia! - Get up!

- Concordia, for God's sake! - Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Concordia, calm down!

She needs me!

- She needs me! Let me go! - Concordia, calm down! It's too late!

- Come on! - Let me go!

Let me go!

Let me... Let me go! Leonor!

Kulas!

Leonor!

Don Tibor, get up.

I can't.

What?

I can't move.

I can't move.

Thank you for your help.

If it weren't for both of you, my husband would have died.

My sincerest condolences, ma'am.

I hope he recovers soon.

I hope so, too.

But the doctors say otherwise.

For the rest of his life, he'll be a paralytic.

What do you plan to do now?

I'm taking him home to Iloilo.

If only he had listened to me earlier.

I heard that he was seeing another woman here in Manila.

We're probably suffering because of karma.

Kulas!

Kulas!

He wants to tell you something. Come closer.

What is H, Tiber?

I deeply regret all the suffering I've caused you.

Never mind all that.

Don't end up like me, Kulas.

I wasted away my life.

I've gotten this far, yet...

I've never truly accomplished anything.

Do you want to eat outside? We still have time to reach the concert.

We can have dinner at The Orient afterward.

What do you think she means?

When Tibor's wife, Dofia Trining said that...

That old maid?

I don't want to talk about her.

Acting all high and mighty.

Didn't you see how she was treating us?

She kept belittling us both.

But why would she do that?

She must have a reason.

What are you trying to say, Kulas?

I was just wondering if perhaps there's something you want to tell me.

I can't stop you from thinking that way.

That's just how men are.

First, they're driven to madness by lust,

then by their suspicions.

It surprises me too.

Why, of all people, do I doubt you?

Why can't I help feeling this way?

Will you feel better if I took away your doubts?

You can do that.

I left you to be with Tibor.

And then you returned to me?

Yes.

But I never truly left him.

Up to this day,

I still can't accept the fact that we'll no longer be together.

But how could you do that?

If you love him, then why did you come back to me?!

Isn't it clear to you yet?

If Tibor truly loves me,

why can't he leave his wife for me?

Our dormitory has already been set up and Bindoy's belongings are all in there.

He'll probably have to stay with us for a very longtime.

You see, a lot of how we do things have changed.

Excuse me.

That's for downstairs.

I'll be right back.

Excuse me.

Don't stay mad at me.

I'm only doing this for your own good.

Do you want to grow up uneducated?

I don't want to live here. I want to stay in our house.

Who will take care of you?

Why, are you leaving?

Can you stomach my cooking?

You're right.

Bindoy, your father left you a lot of money.

You don't even have to study anymore.

Really?

Yes, but having everything you want isn't going to give you happiness.

That won't be enough.

You need to learn how to be of use to people.

Only then will you realize your worth.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Yes. That's why sometimes I don't want to grow up anymore.

That makes two of us.

I should be practicing right now.

I only have three days left before our show starts,

and my role is very demanding.

Are you going home with me?

Kulas, I want you back in my life.

This will be my first and last request.

I need to leave.

Where?

I'm planning to join the Filipinos.

Have you lost your mind?

I can't stay here anymore.

All of this seems pointless.

I can't accept that this is all my life will be.

What about me?

You don't want me in your life anymore?

Do you want to be a priest? Who are you trying to fool?

Kulas, look at me.

I still love you, Diding.

Yes, and that's why you're leaving me?

I'm leaving while I'm still madly in love with you.

While you mean the world to me, while you still complete my life.

And you're ashamed of how you feel.

Not at all.

I just don't want to be that kind of man.

Think about it.

What good is a man like that to you?

Kulas,

you've never changed.

That's why I've grown to love you.

Do you really believe everything you just said?

The only important thing in life is finding what makes you happy.

I can make you happy.

I've changed, Kulas.

I won't ever let you down again.

I love you.

Goodbye.

Then leave for all I care!

Kulas!

Kulas!

Fine, chase after whatever it is you're searching for.

You'll end up with nothing but your stupidity!

Kulas!

I can't let you leave!

Kulas!

Kulas...

You'll be back.

When did this happen?

Last night. They all left.

Even the Filipinos?

Yes, everyone left.

What about you? What are you?

We just live here. We live nearby.

Aren't you Filipinos?

What? We're from Marulas. There are no foreigners here.

Remember this, you are also Filipinos.

Mister!

What's your name?

Nicolas Ocampo.

What did he call us again?

Filipinos.

Hope the subtitle helped -> bozxphd
