No Simon!

Simon!

No, Simon!

Simon...!

Simon! Don't kill our buffalo, please...

Have pity on him, please...

Simon, don't do it. Please!

Please let him live, Simon...!

Get away!

- Simon, please don't kill him. - He's got to die sometime.

Every life must end.

From the beginning, this beast has been marked for death.

How many days he would live has already been decided.

That's the way it is, Tiago.

Cry and shout all you like it won't change a thing.

Face facts.

Who will eat the flesh of this beast?

Well...?

All of you!

Know how many buffaloes I've killed?

You didn't cry for any of them.

What makes this one different from the others?

You children are so innocent...

But the time will come when your eyes are opened,

and you'll see the world the way it really is.

Yes their eyes are open, but do they really see the truth?

Look, Tonya...

People here want only one thing, to satisfy their lusts.

After a hard day's work... sex is their only recreation.

Slaves to their own bodies...

Nothing but animals, all of them.

Filth is in the eye of the beholder.

Wake up to the truth, Tonya, see things the way they are.

Not while people here shut their eyes to God's truth.

Don't you see, it's talking that way makes people think you're crazy.

Remember what happened to your mother.

I fear for your welfare.

I wish you'd give up preaching to the kids.

People are starting to talk.

Alright, granny, so when should I try to save them?

When they're all rotting in Hell?

That's blasphemy!

Shut up, granny.

Talking like that, no wonder they think you're crazy.

They killed my mother with their filthy "sanity".

What do you mean?

My mother wasn't mad.

It made them feel better to think she was.

This place is like Hell.

A living Hell.

So what if you're right?

What's the difference?

You think they'd listen to you?

I know what I believe.

It's those beliefs that will get you into trouble.

- Come, granny. - Listen to me.

You should listen to what your elders say.

Alright, granny.

You should understand that life is all about compromise.

Are there no lessons today, teacher?

You know we had lessons last Saturday.

Why are you asking?

Because my dad told us to go away...

- Go and play. - But there's no-one to play with.

Go see if you can find some flowers for the altar.

Lord, I want to be clean.

Your eyes are pure, O Lord.

Pure...

Not like the eyes of my neighbours.

Purer than the eyes of the children.

Purer than the eyes of Simon.

Save me from the eyes of Simon.

He looks at me so fiercely.

His eyes set my soul on fire.

Simon and the Devil are one.

Save me from them.

Cleanse my body.

Help me, Lord, to stay free from temptation.

Save me from the Devil.

From Simon.

He haunts my whole mind.

He haunts my whole being.

He even enters into my dreams at night.

No, Simon. I don't want to Simon!

I don't want to...

Oh, God, please help me! Please help me...

Juan, this is for you.

Thanks.

Pia, come here.

Come on.

This is for Tonya.

And this is for you.

Stop doing that.

Why?

It's over.

If you say so.

Simon... Where are you going?

What's it to you?

Where are you taking your meat?

If you don't want it, why ask?

I don't want anyone else to have it.

I want all your meat.

You're a dirty slut, it's all you think of.

Simon...

You know you can't do without me.

Even if others are waiting to eat your rotten meat.

I'm the one you come back to.

Take that. I'm going now.

Where are you going?

You're going to Tonya.

You want her, because you can't have her.

You think I'm an easy fuck.

But only you and my husband ever had me.

Shut your damn mouth. Or I'll stuff it full of meat.

Everybody here is sick.

All they think is about screwing.

And once that Tonya has a taste she'll want every cock going.

You know what? You should rape her.

That's more your style. Bastard! You can't even fuck right.

Mama...! When is Papa coming home?

Mama...

Mama!

Mama!

Mama!

Why didn't you tell me before?

I was ashamed.

No need to be.

So what did you do?

Nothing teacher...

Have you told your mother?

That's what I did.

I mean, I told my mother.

She said it was nothing.

She told me it's called menstruation.

Don't use those words.

Come with me...

You must be careful. You're at an age of temptation.

The Devil is never far from us.

All you have to do is to let your guard slip...

...even for one moment...

...and he will get you.

The Devil waits for girls having their first period.

Be careful.

How will I know the Devil?

He comes in the guise of a man.

But if he has a thing hanging down below...

then he's a devil.

Devils hide their horns down there.

Is my father a devil too?

She's lying, sister...

Who asked your opinion?

I'm the teacher.

Can't we play a bit before we go to the chapel?

Our teacher Tonya is speaking there today.

Don't you take my daughter there.

Why not? What's wrong with their teacher?

I don't want them hearing her nonsense.

Don't you take my daughter there.

And you, stay away from that woman.

Let's hope Father Philip gets back soon.

Then maybe we'll have an end to all this nonsense.

Blessed mother, whom we adore...

Help your children who are so steeped in sin.

Help us who have forgotten your sacred lessons.

Guide us who have become slaves of lust.

Help us, holy Father to remain pure in heart and mind.

Tempted by the sins of the flesh.

We, your children, have such fragile souls.

So quick to yield to the hunger of the flesh.

We, your children, who are weak in spirit.

Save us...

Save us from the Devil.

Powerful and most supreme being.

Protect us from...

...the Devil.

Protect us from... the Devil.

Protect us...

Give us the strength...

What's going on...?

Teacher...! Teacher...!

What's going on?

Throw dirt on me!

Come on, then!

Teacher... What's wrong?

I'm all right.

What is it?

Are you feeling ill?

I'm all right now.

Don't worry.

Let's go and pray.

We're going to pray now.

Selda...?

Tonya...!

You crazy little bitch.

Look at you dressed like some mad old spinster woman!

You're still the same.

Your hair's a complete disaster, girl.

And you're all sweaty.

And this gizmo here? What the hell is that?

Just look at you.

And what's this?

I don't believe it, you're still not wearing panties?

Really, Tonya...

No woman should be seen without panties.

I should have brought you some.

Are those your wheels? Give us a ride, ok?

Hey... Is that Simon up there?

It is him.

You always fancied him, didn't you?

Have you two done it yet?

Are these your little disciples?

This one's really cute.

Come see me later tonight.

I can be your new girlfriend.

Don't talk like that, they're just children.

So what are you teaching them, then?

Sex education?

You don't even have a diploma.

I teach them the Bible and how to pray.

- How long are you staying? - About a week, just a vacation.

Where do you work?

In a big store. I'm a sales clerk there.

Is it easy to find work?

Depends...

I know what you need to make it in the big city.

It's guts and determination.

So I know I'd be all right there.

Are you married?

No, we're not married.

Mum, what does she mean?

They live together but aren't married.

What? Really.

Then you can sleep here, but not whitey.

Tonya, where's whitey going to sleep?

Listen, Lola, I'll be gone for a couple of weeks.

Are you awake?

I know what you want. I've got nothing to say.

Come on, you can tell me.

She's deaf anyway.

You want to talk about Simon.

I don't care about him.

But what about you and him?

Tonya, have you done it yet?

Come on, how old are you?

22.

Don't mess me up.

22 and never done it. I don't believe it.

You need one of these.

- What is it? - A gift from Ronnie.

He bought it off some old medicine man.

It's an ancient charm.

Gives men a massive hard-on.

Always works for me.

Try it.

I don't understand why you won't come with us.

You can learn a lot from Tonya.

I don't believe what she teaches.

Why do you hate her so much?

What's she ever done to you?

I don't care what you say. I'll never trust her.

She's just the same as my mother.

They both have holes, your teacher's hole bleeds.

Take that back. Take that back now.

Why are we fighting? We're friends, aren't we.

Miguel, don't take what he says to heart.

But my mother also says Tonya isn't a real teacher.

She says we should listen only to Father Philip.

It's so confusing, I don't know who to believe.

Everyone's always telling us different stuff all the time.

Pia! Pia...

What are you up to?

Haven't I told you not to play with boys?

Gloria! Stay away from my pupils.

Why can't you let them play?

You were a kid once.

Remember, we used to roast peanuts in the sand.

You'd gobble them up even when they were still hot.

We always liked things hot back then.

Must you always talk filthy?

Filth is in the mind.

And then I remember...

you took Simon away from me.

You still think about that?

How could I forget it?

Then you should remember how you got even...

You told the priest.

About me and Simon.

I saw you doing it right in front of me.

The worst of it is we never even finished.

Everyone heard about it.

It was the shame of it that drove my mother away.

We're even then.

Can I have some?

- Who wants peanuts? - Me...! Me...!

What's that necklace?

This? It scares away all sorts of demons.

- Really? - Hmm.

Let me see...

- Let's go see what they're doing. - I want to go that way...

It's Simon.

You see, no devil, will be able to get near you.

Hold on tight.

Come on children, let's go to the chapel.

There's nothing here but the Devil.

Where did you get to?

You still want him don't you?

No.

I see it in your eyes.

Lust is all you see in my eyes.

It's the same thing.

I know you Selda.

Lust is just like hunger...

It comes and is easily satisfied.

Love grows stronger with time.

It's all whoring.

That's your religion talking again.

It's what I believe.

Are we fighting again?

You always take things away from me.

You even want to take the children from me.

Listen to you.

You're really something else.

Here... Now don't get mad.

Hold it.

It won't protect you from evil spirits.

But it'll draw men to you like flies to honey.

I don't want it.

I'll give it to you anyway, even if you don't want it.

You may as well have it now.

After all, I don't need it anymore.

Cut it out, I'm trying to sleep.

Cut it out, you horny bitch, let me sleep.

This is all mine, it belongs to me.

I won't share it with anyone.

Not with Tonya...

Not with anyone.

Stop it.

Don't you want it anymore? Are you getting too old for it?

Aren't you going to bed?

Not right now. I have to keep the fires burning.

Can't you take a rest?

No.

You should take care of yourself.

Are you going out?

I'm going to see Ronnie.

You should try to get some sleep.

I mean it, Tonya.

Simon...?

Selda...? Is that you?

Simon...

I couldn't sleep tonight.

Seeing you again this afternoon...

I started remembering things again.

Go away, Selda.

Remember how you messed things up for me before.

I know you want me.

If I was good then...

I'm even better now.

I can show you things you never even dreamed of.

If I need a fuck...

the women here are cleaner.

You mean Tonya?

You can't have her, ever.

She's crazy, dead.

But this...

This is alive... and hot for you.

Bloody bitch.

- Fuck off, you bloody whore. - Whore, am I?

How dare you come parading your ass round here?

I'm going to kill you, you whore.

Simon, come here and help me.

This crazy bitch is trying to kill me.

- Mona! Stop it. - You bastard.

Get that rope. Let's tie her to the pole.

Let me go.

Hold still.

Tie her up.

Let me go, you bastards! Let me go.

It's Selda, she's gone.

We've got to find her. Quickly...

If I'd known, I'd never have taken you there.

I didn't know.

No... I don't understand what's going on around here.

You filthy animal!

Disgusting white monkey.

Come here, you whore. Why'd you let this devil touch you?

He said such filthy things.

So that's why you go out at night.

To fornicate with that disgusting white monkey.

You animal... animal! What were you doing with her?

Get out of here, you animal. Go on!

You pig!

Go on, go back and fornicate with your white whores.

You're disgusting, you devil!

Why weren't you at the chapel yesterday?

- Dano...? - Dano! Come here

I told you to stay home.

Bloody kids never listen.

Some people just don't want to know what's happening.

They can't understand they're not wanted.

Seems it's white meat she's been saving it for.

- Granny... - Leave me alone.

You've caused enough trouble.

Pia, come here.

Come in here right now.

What do you want?

Just trying to help. I'm getting the fire going for you.

Get out of here. I never want to see you again.

And don't wear my dress.

I took it from the line out back.

I just wanted to show you...

how foolish it is to keep pining for him.

He can never love you.

You stole him from me before.

Now you want him back.

It shows he doesn't care for you.

You've had your revenge.

So now you can go. And don't come back.

Please listen to me, Tonya.

The only one who cares about you is me.

They all think you're crazy, like your mother.

A crazy woman who laughed while they stoned her to death.

Leave my mother out of this.

Get out of here.

You've been mad at me ever since.

Because you thought I was a tramp, like she was.

And really, you're exactly the same as she was.

Get out.

I made sure I wasn't going to end up like your mother did.

So I got the hell out of here. Like you should.

Tonya... This village is crazy.

And if you stay here you'll go crazy too.

Get out of here. We don't want you in this place.

Alright.

If you say so.

But I'll be at the other house if you need me.

Now give me my dress back.

What?

Is this what you want? You're welcome to it.

Happy now?

You must have make-up to look pretty.

To look nice for the boys.

I want that kind of make-up.

- What kind? - Like that.

You mean eye shadow?

It makes your eyes sparkle.

See how a little make-up changes your face.

You're finished... You next.

- My mother doesn't want me to. - Without make-up,

how will the boys see you?

What about our dance lesson?

I've got the music, my brother's tape deck.

You looked dressed for dancing.

Now come here, I'll show you some moves.

That's it... Now move to the music.

Feel the rhythm.

Come back to the house right now.

Hey, Tonya, come learn how to dance.

- How was your trip? - OK.

What happened to him?

Hurt his back, learning to dance, silly ass.

You sell the crops?

- Yeah. - That's good.

How's Father Philip?

I don't think we'll be seeing him for a while.

That's bad.

He's got a chest infection.

When'll he be back?

- At least a month. - Another month with no school.

Look at this one.

Look at what he got up to.

Who knows what'll they'll be doing next.

And the girls were walking round with their faces all painted up.

Seems like someone is very keen to teach the kids about sin.

We should put a stop to her crazy nonsense.

Well at least they learn something.

The only thing she knows is how to be a lying hypocrite.

Where's Gloria?

I told her to stop going to that crazy woman.

Teachers who don't teach directly from God,

can only lead children in two ways, both of them bad.

And that's the end of it.

My father's losing it. He says I've got to stop dancing.

I don't understand why.

Teacher says I'm pretty good.

What a sucker! You believe everything she says.

- Like Tonya's your girlfriend. - Don't be so stupid.

Hey, let's throw the girls into the water.

Serves them right for having their faces painted.

My mother says it's all wickedness.

You're lucky, you have a mother you can talk to.

I can't tell my mother about any of my problems.

Before all this craziness

I used to be able to talk to Tonya about things.

Tell me what's bothering you. Whisper it to me.

Really?

- Come on! - No, I'm ashamed.

Didn't you say your teacher could help you?

No! I don't want to. I don't want to tell her.

Pia's out there...

She wants to talk about something.

Teacher... I mean, sister Tonya.

Stop calling me that.

I'm not your sister.

Teacher! You must call me teacher.

Liar!

- It's true. - Liar! Liar!

It's true, sister.

Is that little witch telling the truth?

Please, teacher...

Please help me.

No matter what I do it's all I think of.

Even when I'm sleeping, he comes into my dreams.

If it's true that men are devils...

Then I'm in love with the Devil.

Tell me, Pia...

Who is it?

Simon...

Fight him, Child!

Tear him from your soul.

These men are evil. They are evil.

They think of nothing but how to corrupt our souls.

Fight him, Pia.

Fight the Devil.

I know...

I'll cleanse your sinful parts with hot sand.

Ma...

I went for a walk today to the chapel.

The chapel?

I thought I told you not to go there.

I was just watching.

I don't care, you still shouldn't have been there.

Watching what?

Pia was there.

And?

Tonya made Pia lie on the sand.

Why?

What was she doing?

Tonya kept throwing sand on...

Down there.

You mean her vagina.

That's what it's called.

Why would she do that?

Tonya got angry when I told her that Pia has a crush on Simon.

I knew it...

That Tonya is going to lead you all to Hell.

I'll tell this to Pia's mother and to Father Philip.

A barrel of salt wouldn't get rid of that itch.

Even if you could pray, your soul would still be dirty.

Thanks a lot.

But I don't plan to be a nun.

- Tonia, wait. - Let me go.

I must pray, let me go!

You're a fool.

Prayer won't help you.

Tonya, don't forget to put out the oil lamps.

Lord, help me rid myself of this madness.

Help me to be strong.

A coward...

I'm just a coward.

I'm no better than the sand.

So quick to burn in the heat of the sun.

So quickly blown away by the wind.

A secret admirer.

Now go and jerk off.

Do you know what Tonya's done with your granddaughter...?

What craziness that fake teacher has been up to?

My own daughter saw it.

Tonya threw sand on Pia's vagina.

You call that teaching?

Tonya's a good girl, she wouldn't do that.

So you say.

Nobody flings sand on my daughter's cunt.

We have to end this craziness before it's too late.

Where is your granddaughter? We need to find her fast.

I don't know where she is. She hasn't been home all night.

We'll find her. She won't be far.

Come on.

What are you doing here?

They're looking for you! You're in trouble.

Why should I believe you?

Because...

I care.

Get out of here!

Get out.

Tonya! Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Let go of me.

Just stand still and listen to me. They're angry with you.

They're mad because of the kids.

What do you mean? What about them?

They say you're leading them astray.

You're the one who's doing that.

You started Pia thinking about Simon.

You're making whores of us all.

Nobody can make you a whore.

It's a natural talent, one you obviously have.

Filthy bitch. You've always been a whore.

You're calling me a whore?

I know just how horny you are.

When bitches in heat feel horny they go out and find a fuck.

That's the way I am too.

But not you...

You take your wet cunt to the altar as a gift from heaven.

You know it's all true.

I may be a whore, but you're a crazy whore.

Crazy enough to think you're some kind of saint.

But if that cunt of yours isn't stuffed with something soon,

it'll start breeding flies.

Listen to me, Tonya!

Give yourself a break.

Don't waste your life for a delusion.

Listen to me, for God's sake.

Where are they going?

Let's follow and find out.

Come on.

- Help me Simon. - What is it?

The villagers, they're after me.

Why not face them?

I can't. This is more shame than I can bear.

Hide me.

How tame you are, when you need help.

Simon, have pity on me. Please don't fail me now

I need your help. Please get me away from here.

Now you can touch me without flinching.

There's no one else I can turn to for help now.

Help me get away from this place.

I don't have anyone else but you to help me now.

Look, it's the salt witch!

Come to teach the bible to Simon? Or to get your itch scratched?

- Get off her, Mona. - Bastard!

You side with the witch against me?

Everyone knows she's a witch.

- Shut up. - She's a witch.

Nobody believes anything she says.

She does exactly the opposite of what she preaches.

I said stop it.

You defend her against me?

Enough.

Now I know I was right all the time.

You're crazy. Just admit it.

You can't deny the crazy things you do.

Stop this now, or I'll hit you.

You just want to fuck them all.

No! No!

Why don't you do it. Just fuck her and be done with it.

I hate you.

Tonya...

Mama... Mama

I've been waiting for you.

Mama...

Child... Child...

- What happened to you? - It's nothing.

- Tell me what it is. - I'm all right now, child.

- Did Simon hurt you? - No, child.

- Simon wouldn't hurt me. - He did hurt you.

Don't defend that animal.

Where are you going? Where...?

Nowhere.

Tonya, wait.

Listen to me.

- Let me go. - Don't run from the truth.

You know I love you.

You acted just like a beast.

You've no feelings.

You're no longer human.

You have the soul of a beast.

You butcher buffaloes.

You've become one of them.

A beast...?

If I'm a beast, it's because you made me one.

You did!

It could have been so easy for us.

But you punished me for loving you.

You killed my soul.

Turned me into a beast.

Killed my heart.

What about the happiness you found with all those other women?

Selda...

Mona!

No, Tonya.

The only one I ever wanted was you.

Every time I went with them I pretended it was you.

You must believe me.

You must.

I always loved you, Tonia.

And no-one else.

I love you.

I always will, Tonia.

Always.

Forgive me, Simon. Forgive me.

I've cheated myself too, for so many years.

But no more.

Simon...

Take me now...

Come inside me.

Do what you want with me.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

I love you.

Tonya... I love you.

Beast! Monster!

Liar! Hypocrite!

You said all men with horns down there are devils.

But you love the Devil.

Isn't that right, Tonya?

You cheated me.

Come on, let's cleanse your sinful parts with hot sand.

You liar! Hypocrite... Hypocrite.

Devil...

Devil... Devil.

Let me touch your horn.

Get away from me!

I know I hurt you. Let me make it up to you.

You were right.

Ever since we were children it's been just you and me.

Always.

Did I hurt you?

No.

It's just you and me against the world.

I love you, Tonya.

Selda... How I've missed you.

Come on, let's play like we used to.

Remember how we used to lie in the surf together.

Bastard!

I'll kill you.

Help me! Help me!

Come back here!

I'm afraid.

Why?

They don't want me here.

I don't know what to do.

I can never return to the village.

Have I been so wrong?

No, you did what you had to.

I'll take care of you.

As long as I'm here, I won't let them hurt you.

Mother, no one will hurt you now.

Simon is gone... We killed him.

We killed him.

You're safe from him now.

He can't hurt you anymore.

He can't hurt you again.

Oh, my child.

What's up?

Nothing.

Tell me.

I have something to confess.

What?

Tonya...

I can't look after you.

I'm not brave at all.

I'm as scared as you are.

I don't understand.

I have no place to go back to.

In my 5 years in Manila...

I sold it all.

First my body...

then my self-respect

and finally my soul.

Don't be afraid.

I'll take care of you.

We'll face them together.

Isn't that Mona?

- And the children... - What's she doing?

Why are the kids with her? Come on.

What will they do to us?

Don't worry, be calm.

Help us.

Help us.

Have you seen Tonya?

Well?

Tonya...

She's killed Simon!

Simon's dead.

That crazy bitch...

she killed Simon.

She tried to take him from me, but it was me he wanted.

She killed him so neither of us could have him.

She's completely crazy.

She's a murderer.

She must be punished.

She killed my Simon.

Look, neighbors... It's Pia.

We found her by the shore... Dead!

It's all Tonya's doing. She killed Pia too

Tonya killed Pia! Tonya! Tonya!

That monster from Hell. She killed Simon and Pia.

There they are.

There are the killers!

Get them!

See! They're in it together.

Yes, they're killers alright.

Just look at them together.

What more evidence do you need.

Don't be so swift to judge.

Didn't you start all this?

Why have you changed your mind?

We've no real proof that they did it.

Can we bring Pia back to life?

Pia, my child.

Who did this?

Save your breath, we know you killed them both.

Tonya could never kill anyone.

See?

They pretended to be enemies, fighting over Simon.

But look there and you see them as they really are...

Sisters in evil.

Come everybody...

They must now be punished for their sins!

What gives you the right?

Go on then.

You're all fucked up.

Let me go, you bastards!

Since we were children everything we did was wrong.

Look what you've done to Tonya... And to me.

All my life I've tried to escape this hell on earth.

But all for nothing.

You need victims for your own guilt.

Have you no pity?

Have you no heart?

No one here has a right to judge us.

No one...

You have no right.

Witch.

She's innocent.

It's me you should punish.

I'm to blame for all this.

They're killers, everyone here knows it.

So why are we wasting our time arguing?

Wait, God doesn't want us to bloody our hands.

Have pity.

Did they have pity on Pia?

Listen to me, Mona.

I know you grieve for Simon.

But you can't right wrongs with more wrong.

You side with those devils or with the rest of us?

Here, have some of this and bring the bottle along.

Let's go.

Please! Help us.

Help us.

- Here, come and have a drink. - Thanks, guys.

See the old guy's still asleep.

Cheers, guys.

What are they saying in the village?

That they're guilty and should be punished.

Why not just bury them in the sand?

Have pity on us, please.

We haven't done anything.

Enough talk.

Those two witches brought evil to our village.

Neighbours, listen to me.

Hasn't there been enough violence in our village?

Let's wait for Father Phillip.

Only God has the right to render punishment.

Father Philip is God's pastor.

Let's leave it up to him.

What are we waiting for?

Let's end this curse now.

Burn them!

Burn them! Burn them!

Come on, Mona is right.

This evil must be removed from our midst.

We must burn them both like the witches they are.

Burn them! Burn them! Burn them!

I'll light the first torch.

No! They've been punished enough.

Get out of my way, old woman.

Don't forget you're a sinner too. We're all sinners.

Mother! Mother, wait.

What is it?

Mama...

They didn't kill anyone.

What are you saying, child?

What do you know about this?

It was Simon.

It was Simon who killed Pia.

Keep your mouth shut.

No! My God.

No! No! No...!

Burn them!

What are you doing? You filthy old man.

Now see the truth of what I said.

They're filth! Burn them!

Burn them!

Burn them!

Tonya! No...

Come.

Come on, let's join them.

Father, bless me.

What do you wish to confess?

Father, I have sinned.

Our Lord has the power to forgive.

I was blinded by rage.

I lost my way.

I followed the path of evil.

I beg for forgiveness.
