Always (2022) Movie Script
What's up?
Good. We started early last time.
Where did you play?
Block one.
Three of us.
When are you going to play again?
Maybe next week.
Alright, I'll come.
Sure, bro.
Hey Lino!
You're here.
Here's your pay.
You're in charge here now.
I'm going home to Bicol.
Taking a break, Pop?
I'm humoring my kids.
They want me to spend time with my
grandkids while I'm still strong.
As you should.
Here,
read your horoscope.
I don't believe in that.
You should bet on the lottery.
It says it's your lucky day.
Take this.
Hello!
I brought you lots of food.
There's siopao,
fried peanuts, pianono...
My co-workers almost got to them befo...
What's that?
Something smells foul.
What's that smell, Pops?
Pop, what happened?
Pops, you smell...
you kinda stink.
Pops...
Pops is not here. He took a break.
Huh?
When-when is he coming back?
He didn't say.
Huh.
Why didn't you say so?
I've been talking so much here.
Hard to find an opening.
Ah.
Pops is my friend.
We usually watch videos here.
That was you.
Sorry for disturbing you.
Okay, I'm heading out.
It might rain.
You can stay.
Uh, okay.
Here.
Put up episode 18, okay?
You can skip the credits,
I already know it.
Okay, go.
Come on. Move.
Are you really blind?
I can sense motions.
And I can still make out a bit of light.
What are the protagonists doing?
Which one?
The uh-the man.
Sitting.
Mm...
What,
is he smiling now?
Or is he still crying?
He's all right.
Well, what is he wearing?
Long-sleeves?
Mm...
What color?
I ran out of data.
Oh. That's too bad.
Okay.
Next time then.
Thanks!
Okay, I'm heading out.
Oh.
You can have this.
Thanks.
Wait.
Your hands are so rough.
Do you work really hard?
Well, I'm heading out.
I ask too many questions.
Take care!
Seven.
Eight.
Nine.
Ten.
Wait.
30 seconds.
You still have one more set.
Don't cheat.
Nine.
Ten.
One more rep.
Hey, Lino!
Welcome back!
Well?
Back to boxing?
Hey!
You're still alive.
Coach, I just came here to apologize.
That's why you're here?
You could have just texted.
Whatever.
We have nothing to talk about.
Heeey.
C'mon.
One round.
I'm going, Coach.
What? You pussy?
Hey.
This guy's an Asia Pacific contender.
Knocked out his opponent.
Don't mind him.
He's just being cocky
for being the king of underground fights.
That's how he got rich.
Don't let him get to you.
Hey!
Don't be rude. I'm talking to you.
I'm retired.
You're the one being rude.
Have you eaten?
Yeah.
What's he wearing?
He's uhh...
wearing a hoodie, a beige T-shirt, jeans.
Not you,
the protagonist. He doesn't
wear hoodies.
Ah.
Uh...
a gray and green shirt
with long sleeves.
Could we turn on the electric fan?
Where is that smell coming from?
It's like...
It hurts my nose.
It's like moldy and pungent and...
Stinky.
Anna!
Anna.
Wait.
Huh?
Here.
Ah.
You washed it, didn't you?
How did you know?
Here.
It's empty.
Ah.
You have a sharp sense of smell.
Better than police dogs.
All right then. See you!
The boss is on his way. Just
getting our wages.
I'll get it tomorrow, okay?
Wow, look at you. Not
needing the cash.
[honking]
[screaming]
Ah!
Anna!
Anna. Anna.
Hey! Man the booth!
Ouch.
Hey. Hang on.
Easy, easy.
- Ow.
- Where does it hurt?
- My foot.
- Okay, okay.
- It hurts.
- Here? How is it?
- My foot hurts.
- It hurts?
Come on. Hold on to me.
Are you sure you're okay?
Yes.
Hey.
What's your province?
I don't watch that.
The protagonist can't even die.
Not the TV show.
Which province are you from?
Ah.
I'm from Manila.
By the way, what's your name?
You've carried me and everything.
I still don't know your name.
Lino.
Thank you.
Oh.
Uh, thanks Lino.
I'll take it from here.
Take care.
Okay.
Okay.
Where's your place?
Huh?
Where's your house?
Ah. Just there.
Where there?
There.
What do you mean?
Where there?
There. At the top.
You're climbing that?
Yeah.
Of course. It's my house.
Anna, I don't think you can do it.
Nah. I can do it.
- You sure?
- Yeah. Mm.
Nope, I'm helping you.
Come on.
No, no.
You know what...
here, wait.
Jump.
Huh?
Jump!
- Huh?
- No!
[stammering]
C-Climb on to me, Anna.
Don't just jump. Cl-
There.
Can you feel me in front of you?
Climb on to me.
Okay.
Jump. Climb.
- One.
- Like this?
Yeah, come on.
Can you even carry me?
I can.
But you can't climb that.
Okay,
slowly. Careful.
One,
two, three. Jump.
- Sorry, sorry.
- Okay.
See, you wouldn't have managed.
Go slow, okay?
I can totally do this.
Hup!
Haha!
Hey you, get back there!
Get back inside!
Ouch.
Someone's out here poking butts.
Who was that?
Hey!
Ow, ow!
Anna! Anna!
Oh, sorry!
That hurts.
Your hair is so dry.
You should try some conditioner.
Sorry.
Ow.
[panting]
There's too many stairs to your house.
Good grief.
Here.
Hey, friend. What happened to you?
Ah.
Just an accident.
Ow.
Good thing my friend's here to help.
Oh, I see.
I left some food for you upstairs.
Go eat something, okay?
Yes, thank you.
I half expected you to stay and gossip.
Is there a tree there?
Yes.
Take the stairs over here.
Okay.
You'll have to offer me
a drink when we get there.
I told you you're in over your head.
Hey!
If I don't go faster,
it would take us until morning.
[grunting]
[giggling]
[tapping]
Sorry about the state of my house.
You know how it is.
Here.
Come sit here.
I'll get you some water.
Ah!
Anna.
Take it easy.
You'll get injured again.
Nah, it's fine. I'm okay.
I often get hurt by this.
This thing opens...
This cabinet door opens on its own.
[pounding]
There. All good?
Yeah, all good.
Go on, just sit down.
I'll get you some water.
Tired?
A-a little.
Told you.
Just right.
Go on, sit down.
I'll just check on the laundry area.
The drain is clogged, I think.
I almost slipped earlier.
Just a sec.
Hey.
Hold on.
- Ah.
- No, no.
- Huh?
- Uh...
No.
I'll do it.
Just take a seat.
No, it's okay, Lino.
I can do this.
- I'll take a look.
- Anna, please.
Take a seat?
I'll check it out.
Okay, okay. It's okay.
Okay,
I'll do it. I can do it.
It's over there, okay?
There.
There.
Pass through here.
It was clogged.
Huh?
By what?
Clothes.
Clothes?
But the ones I hung up were complete.
Hello Kitty.
What? Give it here!
- All right, there.
- Give it.
Oh no! This is so embarrassing.
You had to touch my panties.
Uh... All right, go. Go home.
You sure you're all right here alone?
Uh...
Of course.
I'm used to it.
Uh... okay.
Uh, Lino. Thanks for taking me home.
Okay, okay.
Oh, I almost forgot.
Um, I'll just get something, okay?
Here.
I mean, here.
What's this?
Concert tickets.
There's two.
Mm.
Bring a friend.
I don't have any.
Let's go together?
Look at you! I've never seen
you smile before.
I'm sorry.
When you're grown,
I'll set you free.
I promise.
Eat up.
Ma'am Anna.
What would you like today?
Hi, Mother Bridgette.
Maybe, uhm.
Just a little haircut, please.
I'm going to attend a concert.
Concert?
Why don't we add some more
curls?
Huh? Oh no, it might not suit me.
Please. Ma'am Anna.
You have a small face.
I'm certain it's gonna suit you.
Really, Mother?
Sure!
Alright, let's do it.
Okay!
How's your sprain?
Ah.
It's feeling much better.
Come on.
I'll help you.
Careful.
It's okay. I'll do it.
[tapping]
Let's go.
[music playing]
Uh, she's wearing wide-leg pants.
She's, uh, next to the guitarist.
And someone's on the cajn.
Um...
She's wearing a, uh,
a tube top.
And she has really big...
...big earrings.
And she's singing on stage.
And you?
Me?
Mm-hm.
What are you wearing?
Long sleeves. Uh...
Gray pants and white shoes.
[sniffing]
You smell nice.
[both laughing]
[music continues]
[crowd clapping]
Did you like it?
They're good.
No.
This.
This. My hair.
Did you notice?
It's alright.
Oh. Not your type then.
Uh, it's just new to me.
The old one was already pretty,
so you didn't have to.
For a change.
Drinks!
Hold on, I'll get some.
Ah, no.
I'll get it.
Uhm.
It's my turn now.
Okay.
- Just a sec.
- Sure.
Wait what's that for?
That whistle.
Oh, this?
It's for emergencies.
I blow this when I need help.
Like this.
[blowing whistle]
Alright, okay.
- Loud enough?
- Okay, okay.
Loud and clear.
Oh, here it is. Wait.
100 should be enough, right?
Yeah, of course.
Here.
Oh.
Okay.
I'll be quick.
[blows whistle]
Stay put.
Did anyone bother you?
No one?
What college did you go to?
I didn't finish school.
Oh, why? What was your work?
Anything I could find.
I was a Fine Arts major.
It's my dream to have a pottery studio.
You?
What?
What's your dream?
I don't have one.
Why?
Where are your parents?
I don't know.
Huh? Why don't you know?
Aren't you close?
No.
Mmm. I know.
You were a naughty child, weren't you?
Did you do something wrong?
I did a lot of things that were wrong.
You know what, it's okay.
You know what they say,
"I'm only human."
Everyone deserves a second chance.
Maybe you just need to ask for forgiveness.
Just like that.
What exactly did you do to them?
Why do you keep asking questions?
It's like I'm confessing to you.
Are you an interrogator?
Just eat.
Uh, Lino, I should get going, okay?
I have an early start tomorrow.
Thanks, Lino.
- Okay, take care.
- Anna, no.
Sorry. Sorry.
I'm just not used to having
someone interested in my life.
I'm sorry.
Are you okay with being
assigned outside of Metro Manila?
I have no problem with it.
Okay, good.
We will just get in touch with you
as soon as we get the results.
- Thank you!
- Thank you!
I wonder where my headset is.
Anna. Let's take a break.
Sure, I'll follow. Just looking
for something.
Okay, then. Catch up with us.
Anna.
How are the applicants?
Any good ones?
There are quite a few, sir.
Good.
Good job.
Here.
What's this, sir?
Just a little something
My gift to you.
That's my token of appreciation
for your hard work.
I really hope you like it.
Thank you, sir.
Oh. On that note,
I should treat you to dinner.
But I have a meeting today.
If you're free tomorrow,
let's go then.
Uh,
sir, I have plans.
I can't go. Sorry.
See you tomorrow, then.
Hi!
Hey, you!
Move aside!
Sorry! Sorry, we didn't see you.
I couldn't see you,
you couldn't see me either.
Sorry.
It's okay. We're only human.
Trying to get away?
Pay up!
Now!
Rolly.
Rolly, you have a visitor.
Sorry. He fell asleep.
It's okay.
How is he?
He's doing well.
I brought some supplies.
There's some extra for someone who needs it.
Thank you for these.
May God bless you.
You know, you're a good person.
That's not true.
I have a lot to atone for.
If the Lord can forgive,
you should forgive yourself.
Thanks.
Just a moment.
The volunteers made this.
Take it. Give it to your girlfriend.
I don't have one.
Why not?
Nobody's made a mistake yet.
In God's time, she will come into your life.
Take it with you so you're ready.
Thanks, sister.
I thought you had plans.
I think you're just avoiding me.
Sir?
That's not it.
Do you have a boyfriend?
Sorry?
I said,
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
Sir, you're drunk.
Please go home.
Well, you didn't want to go out with me.
So I thought I'd just go to your place.
Um, sir.
Sir, you have a wife.
[scoffs]
We're separated!
Sir.
Why are you being so difficult? Hm?
What's your problem with me?
Hm?
I just don't want to be involved with you.
[lamp clatters]
It doesn't have to be complicated.
We'll have a simple arrangement.
I'll get something from you.
And you'll get something from me.
S-sir.
Sir, go home. Please.
I'm begging you.
[clattering]
Shit!
Why don't you appreciate my gift?
Come here.
Open it.
Sir.
Sir.
Open it.
[sobbing]
There.
Beautiful.
This suits you.
Sir.
You're so beautiful. This will
be pretty on you.
Here.
You're so beautiful.
You smell so good.
[sobbing]
[blowing whistle]
C'mere you!
[screaming]
How dare you?!
You fucking bitch!
[thuds]
Hey!
[grunting]
[shouting]
Lino!
[grunting]
Stop!
[grunting]
Lino!
[grunting]
Enough!
If you ever come back here, you
know what's coming to you.
[grunting]
[panting]
Anna.
Are you hurt?
What did you do to sir?
You're worried about him?
Why did you hurt him?
He was disrespecting you.
Lino, I could lose my job.
But you should leave that job!
Resign, quit, press charges.
There aren't a lot of jobs for people like me.
Anna, I'm here for you.
I'll take care of you.
I don't want your charity.
Can you please leave?
Please...
Leave me alone!
Go away!
[sobbing]
[sobbing]
By the way, thanks for the...
the headband.
How's your asshole boss?
I resigned.
He's an asshole, remember?
You finally realized it.
Yeah.
Keep rubbing it in.
What do you plan now?
You said you'd take care of me, right?
Huh?
No way. That was a joke.
Hey, you said so.
Hey! Ouch.
You said, remember?
I'm just kidding.
Of course I got you.
So, since you got me now...
can I make a request?
Anna!
Hey, where are you going?
Ah, I'm buying something from the store.
It's for our picnic later.
What's that?
Now you've ruined the surprise.
Is that for me?
Yeah, so you won't be alone anymore.
Oh, thank you! Thank you!
We used to come here
all the time when I was a kid.
Family outing?
Nah. I'd escape the orphanage.
We would walk the whole way.
I knew you were a pesky kid.
Extremely pesky.
What happened to you then?
Why did you stop being
that pesky kid?
Life happened.
Where are your parents?
I don't know.
I got used to being alone.
I didn't look for them anymore.
Me, too.
I also got used to being alone.
What happened to your parents?
There was an accident.
Can you look for...
can you find me a rock?
A small one.
A pretty one.
For what? Scrubbing?
No. You...
Just find me two small pretty rocks.
Hold on.
- Come on.
- Pretty rock, pretty rock.
Yes.
Here, is this good?
- Check it out.
- Hey, not that!
Uh, what?
That's too big.
- Too big?
- Like this.
Okay.
Here.
Just a second.
Down there.
I'll be quick.
Did you find some?
There's some small ones here.
- Two.
- Okay.
Here.
What about these?
Yes.
These are perfect.
Okay.
What are they for?
For each of us.
This is a reminder...
that you are my rock.
Rock my baby-baby-baby rock.
Come on!
You're always teasing me.
It's like you don't take me seriously.
When it comes to you,
I'm always serious.
You just don't realize how hard it is...
for me to open up like this.
To love.
So.
So you love me?
You already know the answer
yet you still ask.
I even started being playful
again because of you.
This is your doing.
When did you realize that you love me?
Maybe...
When we climbed all those stairs.
So many steps, I almost shit myself.
[both laughing]
You're ridiculous.
Well, you were so heavy
and there were a lot of steps.
Anna.
Hm?
I love you.
Thank you for loving me, Lino.
Thank you.
Look sharp.
One, two.
One more.
Harder.
One more.
- Coach.
- Again.
Let's take a break.
I'm ready to fight again.
Hey. When are you starting?
That's it!
[grunting]
Hit it. Hit it.
Oh. Three.
[grunting]
Lino. Lift!
[grunting]
One more!
Put your back into it!
You think he can still fight?
I don't think he is.
Hit it. Hit it.
Number three!
Pah! Pah!
[groaning]
[screaming]
I told you my boy's ready.
Let's go on a house tour.
You're gonna tour me in our own house?
Of course. There should be
a ribbon-cutting, right?
Wait, I'll set this down.
Bantay, stay here for a bit, okay?
Okay.
Mmm...
Ah!
Ah.
Hey.
Uh, where's the table that was here?
Here.
[tapping]
Ah.
Okay.
The bulging here is gone too.
So you don't trip when you pass there.
Thank you.
The-
the table is new too?
Uh, yeah I replaced everything
that had sharp corners.
So you don't get hurt.
Thank you.
That there, I put up a painting so that...
Oh.
That was stupid.
Sorry.
Um. So that's why it seemed a
little darker here.
Ah, no. That's easy, wait.
- Here, let's take it down.
- No, no.
It's okay. It would be a waste.
Let's just tie it.
Okay then.
It's easy.
There. Is that okay?
Yes!
I can feel the sunshine on my face.
No you can't. You're teasing.
No. It's true.
By the way, where did you
get all these things?
A friend.
Your friend?
Your friend.
Um, Lino.
Thanks a lot.
I wish I could see everything
that you've done.
And I wish...
I could see you.
Am I handsome?
Yes.
I'm not.
I'm average.
No, you're more than enough.
Press harder.
Now do my back.
Do it harder.
There.
You know, you'll have
to pay me for this.
[grunting]
There.
Hey, scooch a bit more.
There.
- A little more.
- Here, here.
Oh. Oh.
- There.
- You're the reason why my back even hurts.
I learned this in Blind School.
[grunting]
- Oh?
- Ouch.
What?
Are you feeling good or
are you getting hurt?
It hurts but it's also good.
Just like love.
[laughing]
You're so corny.
[laughing]
Hey, stop. It already hurts.
[laughing]
Stop it...
Anna, what's this?
This thing on your bedside.
Ahhh. That's braille.
"Oh love, powerful and true-
once you've captured any fool,
the world be damned,
just to follow you."
Florante and Laura.
Ouch.
That was deep.
Is it your favorite?
Papa liked to say it to Mama.
You know...
"...the world be damned,
just to follow you."
Aww, how sweet.
You guys are so cheesy!
When Mama had a request,
Papa would always tease
her by saying that.
That's sweet.
They were a match made in heaven.
Like us.
Really?
Mm!
[laughing]
There you go again.
Ow.
You little...
[laughing]
That hurts!
So you don't tickle me anymore.
Go on, try to move.
Are you happy?
Of course.
I want you to be even happier.
Keep pursuing your dream, okay?
Your pottery studio.
I will support you.
I'll make it happen.
One day.
The world be damned.
Just to follow you.
Eight.
[tapping]
This way.
Julia Alfonso?
Rudolfo Alfonso?
Right.
Here we are.
Mama, Papa.
I want you to meet my boyfriend.
Lino, these are my parents.
They died the same day?
We got into an accident.
May 17, 2018.
It was my graduation day.
I insisted that we go out to celebrate.
Even though Mama prepared food at home.
Papa!
That's why I really think,
that Mama and Papa brought you into my life.
[shouting]
Where's the money?
I don't have any money.
Even if you kill me!
Is that what you really want?
My life is worthless.
It doesn't matter if you kill me.
My family has left me.
[screaming]
Police!
What's this commotion?
[sobbing]
Hey, what are you doing?
Are you and your boss happy now?
I'm about to die, look!
Stop that!
Fuck you!
Hey, stop that!
[sobbing]
Hey!
[screaming]
Don't!
[screaming]
[grunting]
[both screaming]
[sobbing]
[crying]
I'm sorry.
Anna's case is retinal detachment.
Her retina isn't receiving any oxygen,
that's why she can see... very little.
Sometimes, she can see a bit more.
If we delay the operation,
the circulation in her retina might not be restored.
And vision loss will be permanent.
It's okay, doc.
How can you say it's okay?
I'm used to being like this.
I thought you wanted to see me?
How are we going to pay for this?
I have savings.
I don't want you to use your money on me.
What's the problem?
What happened to me?
I deserve this!
Lino, this is my punishment.
If I didn't ask Mama and Papa...
- Don't say that...
- Don't say that!
- This wouldn't happen to me if...
- Don't say that...
Don't say that!
Just let me do this for you.
Please.
Do you really think that-
your mom and dad would want
you to be like this?
I thought I was your guardian
angel, Anna?
Let me do this.
For you.
For us.
For our future as a family.
Is that one even worth it?
He's desperate, boss. Needs the money.
Who are we betting on?
The opponent, boss.
This guy would never win.
Not in the right condition.
Fine.
This is on you.
Yes, boss.
Why did you even get into that?
Coach, I need money.
Do you even know you could die from that?
Help me prepare.
No matter how much we
prepare for this, Lino,
no one can prepare you if
you want a death wish.
You can never prepare for death.
That's why I'm leaving you this.
If I don't come back,
pay for Anna's hospital bills.
You know, Lino, you should
back out from that fight.
I'm already compromised, Coach.
Lino.
Try to come back alive.
Aren't you gonna answer that?
It's just Ben. It can wait.
Lino.
Stay with me, okay?
Of course.
See you?
See you.
Are you Lino?
I'm here to pick you up. Come on.
Oh.
Just a reminder, okay?
The only rule here is that there are no rules.
Anything goes.
The match only ends when someone's
knocked out or dead.
I know.
Well, here we are.
If you don't get out of this alive,
see you in hell.
Hey, throw that away.
- Yes boss.
- Somewhere far.
[crowd hooting, cheering]
[yelling]
[crowd cheering]
It's alright, we're just human.
We do not need eyes
to continue to fight...
Stay with me, okay?
I want your face to be the very
first thing I see.
See you?
You fucked me over!
Boss. I've seen him fight.
He's nothing. He just
got lucky, boss.
Lucky?
Your words were he would never win.
Then how did I lose?
Boss, I'll fix it, boss.
How?
Idiot!
[coughs]
Lino?
I'm Dr. Bautista.
I'm a colleague of Dr. Apog.
How are you?
Based on the memorandum
circular we follow,
we can definitely file the case.
And then we will coordinate
with the LGUs.
Chief, I hope you find him as
soon as possible.
I was teasing Lino about it,
the headband.
I gave it to him.
I told him to give it to his girlfriend.
And I thought maybe that's why
he hasn't come to visit.
Because he has a girlfriend now.
I don't even know where
he is right now.
This one also keeps asking about Lino.
Rolly. This is Anna, Lino's friend.
How are you, sir?
I'm well, thanks.
Anna, are you the reason why...
Lino doesn't visit me anymore?
It's okay.
Guess he replaced me with someone prettier.
Oh, uh... it's not that, sir.
I actually don't know where Lino is now.
I've known him since he was a child.
He's a good person.
I don't even have any idea where...
he could be right now.
He just suddenly disappeared.
I can't think of any reason why...
Why he would do that.
Well, he didn't mention anything to me.
But...
The Lino I know
would never abandon anyone.
I'm the prime example.
How did you meet Lino?
Very long story.
I got mixed up with bad
things back then.
May 17,
I'll never forget it.
Never.
Mama, papa.
I'm sorry.
I can't get mad at the person,
who caused everything that happened to us.
I am in love with Lino, ma...
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
[sobbing]
Grandpa Joe, how are you?
I brought you something.
Here, I made it myself.
Thank you.
I'll just put it here, okay?
Um, Nurse, is Grandpa Joe okay?
Hey, Gramps, you have a new neighbor?
Yeah. Just not very friendly.
Huh? Why?
He doesn't talk.
[laughs]
But then, maybe he's mute.
[giggles]
Try and sit up, gramps.
There, slowly.
There we go.
You've been lying down all night.
Just sit there for a bit, okay?
All right, then.
Hi!
My name is Anna.
I'm a volunteer.
You know, I used be a PWD
so I know a bit of reflexology.
Do you wanna try?
Let's look at your records, okay?
Superman doesn't have any records.
Why Superman?
He doesn't have IDs, no record.
He doesn't talk.
So I dubbed him Superman.
Uh, would you like us to...
Let's take a look at your back?
I'll help you, okay?
Careful.
There.
Lift up.
Does it hurt?
It looks like
you have a lot of broken bones.
What happened?
Uh,
aside from your feet and back,
pressure points from the hands are also good.
Let's try it.
There.
Uh, open it.
Um, okay. Next time then.
How's the operation?
Will she be able to see?
[groans]
[screaming]
Fucking hell, man.
It was all good.
We had it in the bag but you
decided to show off, huh?
Hey! What's that?
I'll call the police!
Hi, Joey!
My savior. I'm glad you're here.
Really?
Mm-mm.
Because I'm taking
Bantay for a walk.
He might get fussy later.
I thought you were glad to see me
because you missed me.
And because you realized that
you loved me all along.
[giggles]
You know what? You're
such a kidder.
Always has been.
Just man the counter, okay?
Wait for me.
We'll be quick.
Bantay and I will be right back, okay?
- Bantay!
- Okay then.
- Let's go?
- I give up.
-I've accepted that-
-Ready?
I've been friendzoned.
Okay. Oh wait, I have to feed Varda.
Eat up, Varda.
There. There's your food.
Okay then. You're in charge, okay?
Let's go.
[grunting]
How much is this?
Uh, it's 200, sir.
Hold on, let me just get one.
This novelty shop is owned by a famous artist,
Anna Alfonso.
If u want a one of a kind handmade items,
she also owns a shop just near here.
Uh, so
definitely worth the investment.
And she's also on Instagram
if you wanna follow her.
@TaongPutik.
Here, sir.
Thanks a lot.
Take care.
Thanks.
Your dog is so adorable. Seems like
you're taking good care of him.
He's fluffy.
How long have you been keeping him?
Mm! I got him when he was little.
He was about two months
when he was given to me.
He's so nice.
Yeah, he's a good boy.
Hey, where are you going, Bantay?
Stay here.
[shouts]
Bantay! Bantay!
Bantay?
Bantay!
Bantay?
Bantay?
Gosh! I thought I lost you.
I was so worried about you.
Hey, I'm sorry about him.
This is the first time he
acted like this.
Are you hurt?
Wait.
I think I know you.
I remember.
You're that man in the hospital.
Next to Grandpa Joe, right?
That was you, right?
Let me help you.
Bantay, stay here.
Let's go.
Come on.
Here.
Aaron, thank god you're here.
Could you take Bantay home?
He's being fussy.
Thank you.
- How are things?
- Hey, Anna.
I sold a mug.
Really?
Which one?
Joey?
The uh...
Did anyone come here-
-in crutches?
Yes.
Lino?
Ouch! Ouch!
Bantay,
Take care of Anna, okay?
Don't leave her alone.
Let's finish the movie.
Wait, wait.
Hug me, please.
I'm scared.
Sure, come here.
Stay here, okay?
[laughing]
I hope that's not me you're
throwing away.
Do you remember?
I said,
"When I open my eyes,"
"I want your face to be the
very first thing I see."
But why weren't you there?
Why did you disappear?
Sorry.
Sorry?
That's really all you have to say?
What happened to,
"The world be damned?"
What happened to,
"I'm your guardian angel?"
I have no right to love you.
And I have no right to
be loved by you.
Lino, I know.
And I don't even blame you.
But Anna, it's my fault.
Lino.
I hope you realize.
That I would
rather lose my sight.
Than to lose you.
I almost died, Anna.
Maybe I did, in a way.
But I keep thinking about you.
I want you to have the life you deserve.
You are my life now, Lino.
Papa!
Good. We started early last time.
Where did you play?
Block one.
Three of us.
When are you going to play again?
Maybe next week.
Alright, I'll come.
Sure, bro.
Hey Lino!
You're here.
Here's your pay.
You're in charge here now.
I'm going home to Bicol.
Taking a break, Pop?
I'm humoring my kids.
They want me to spend time with my
grandkids while I'm still strong.
As you should.
Here,
read your horoscope.
I don't believe in that.
You should bet on the lottery.
It says it's your lucky day.
Take this.
Hello!
I brought you lots of food.
There's siopao,
fried peanuts, pianono...
My co-workers almost got to them befo...
What's that?
Something smells foul.
What's that smell, Pops?
Pop, what happened?
Pops, you smell...
you kinda stink.
Pops...
Pops is not here. He took a break.
Huh?
When-when is he coming back?
He didn't say.
Huh.
Why didn't you say so?
I've been talking so much here.
Hard to find an opening.
Ah.
Pops is my friend.
We usually watch videos here.
That was you.
Sorry for disturbing you.
Okay, I'm heading out.
It might rain.
You can stay.
Uh, okay.
Here.
Put up episode 18, okay?
You can skip the credits,
I already know it.
Okay, go.
Come on. Move.
Are you really blind?
I can sense motions.
And I can still make out a bit of light.
What are the protagonists doing?
Which one?
The uh-the man.
Sitting.
Mm...
What,
is he smiling now?
Or is he still crying?
He's all right.
Well, what is he wearing?
Long-sleeves?
Mm...
What color?
I ran out of data.
Oh. That's too bad.
Okay.
Next time then.
Thanks!
Okay, I'm heading out.
Oh.
You can have this.
Thanks.
Wait.
Your hands are so rough.
Do you work really hard?
Well, I'm heading out.
I ask too many questions.
Take care!
Seven.
Eight.
Nine.
Ten.
Wait.
30 seconds.
You still have one more set.
Don't cheat.
Nine.
Ten.
One more rep.
Hey, Lino!
Welcome back!
Well?
Back to boxing?
Hey!
You're still alive.
Coach, I just came here to apologize.
That's why you're here?
You could have just texted.
Whatever.
We have nothing to talk about.
Heeey.
C'mon.
One round.
I'm going, Coach.
What? You pussy?
Hey.
This guy's an Asia Pacific contender.
Knocked out his opponent.
Don't mind him.
He's just being cocky
for being the king of underground fights.
That's how he got rich.
Don't let him get to you.
Hey!
Don't be rude. I'm talking to you.
I'm retired.
You're the one being rude.
Have you eaten?
Yeah.
What's he wearing?
He's uhh...
wearing a hoodie, a beige T-shirt, jeans.
Not you,
the protagonist. He doesn't
wear hoodies.
Ah.
Uh...
a gray and green shirt
with long sleeves.
Could we turn on the electric fan?
Where is that smell coming from?
It's like...
It hurts my nose.
It's like moldy and pungent and...
Stinky.
Anna!
Anna.
Wait.
Huh?
Here.
Ah.
You washed it, didn't you?
How did you know?
Here.
It's empty.
Ah.
You have a sharp sense of smell.
Better than police dogs.
All right then. See you!
The boss is on his way. Just
getting our wages.
I'll get it tomorrow, okay?
Wow, look at you. Not
needing the cash.
[honking]
[screaming]
Ah!
Anna!
Anna. Anna.
Hey! Man the booth!
Ouch.
Hey. Hang on.
Easy, easy.
- Ow.
- Where does it hurt?
- My foot.
- Okay, okay.
- It hurts.
- Here? How is it?
- My foot hurts.
- It hurts?
Come on. Hold on to me.
Are you sure you're okay?
Yes.
Hey.
What's your province?
I don't watch that.
The protagonist can't even die.
Not the TV show.
Which province are you from?
Ah.
I'm from Manila.
By the way, what's your name?
You've carried me and everything.
I still don't know your name.
Lino.
Thank you.
Oh.
Uh, thanks Lino.
I'll take it from here.
Take care.
Okay.
Okay.
Where's your place?
Huh?
Where's your house?
Ah. Just there.
Where there?
There.
What do you mean?
Where there?
There. At the top.
You're climbing that?
Yeah.
Of course. It's my house.
Anna, I don't think you can do it.
Nah. I can do it.
- You sure?
- Yeah. Mm.
Nope, I'm helping you.
Come on.
No, no.
You know what...
here, wait.
Jump.
Huh?
Jump!
- Huh?
- No!
[stammering]
C-Climb on to me, Anna.
Don't just jump. Cl-
There.
Can you feel me in front of you?
Climb on to me.
Okay.
Jump. Climb.
- One.
- Like this?
Yeah, come on.
Can you even carry me?
I can.
But you can't climb that.
Okay,
slowly. Careful.
One,
two, three. Jump.
- Sorry, sorry.
- Okay.
See, you wouldn't have managed.
Go slow, okay?
I can totally do this.
Hup!
Haha!
Hey you, get back there!
Get back inside!
Ouch.
Someone's out here poking butts.
Who was that?
Hey!
Ow, ow!
Anna! Anna!
Oh, sorry!
That hurts.
Your hair is so dry.
You should try some conditioner.
Sorry.
Ow.
[panting]
There's too many stairs to your house.
Good grief.
Here.
Hey, friend. What happened to you?
Ah.
Just an accident.
Ow.
Good thing my friend's here to help.
Oh, I see.
I left some food for you upstairs.
Go eat something, okay?
Yes, thank you.
I half expected you to stay and gossip.
Is there a tree there?
Yes.
Take the stairs over here.
Okay.
You'll have to offer me
a drink when we get there.
I told you you're in over your head.
Hey!
If I don't go faster,
it would take us until morning.
[grunting]
[giggling]
[tapping]
Sorry about the state of my house.
You know how it is.
Here.
Come sit here.
I'll get you some water.
Ah!
Anna.
Take it easy.
You'll get injured again.
Nah, it's fine. I'm okay.
I often get hurt by this.
This thing opens...
This cabinet door opens on its own.
[pounding]
There. All good?
Yeah, all good.
Go on, just sit down.
I'll get you some water.
Tired?
A-a little.
Told you.
Just right.
Go on, sit down.
I'll just check on the laundry area.
The drain is clogged, I think.
I almost slipped earlier.
Just a sec.
Hey.
Hold on.
- Ah.
- No, no.
- Huh?
- Uh...
No.
I'll do it.
Just take a seat.
No, it's okay, Lino.
I can do this.
- I'll take a look.
- Anna, please.
Take a seat?
I'll check it out.
Okay, okay. It's okay.
Okay,
I'll do it. I can do it.
It's over there, okay?
There.
There.
Pass through here.
It was clogged.
Huh?
By what?
Clothes.
Clothes?
But the ones I hung up were complete.
Hello Kitty.
What? Give it here!
- All right, there.
- Give it.
Oh no! This is so embarrassing.
You had to touch my panties.
Uh... All right, go. Go home.
You sure you're all right here alone?
Uh...
Of course.
I'm used to it.
Uh... okay.
Uh, Lino. Thanks for taking me home.
Okay, okay.
Oh, I almost forgot.
Um, I'll just get something, okay?
Here.
I mean, here.
What's this?
Concert tickets.
There's two.
Mm.
Bring a friend.
I don't have any.
Let's go together?
Look at you! I've never seen
you smile before.
I'm sorry.
When you're grown,
I'll set you free.
I promise.
Eat up.
Ma'am Anna.
What would you like today?
Hi, Mother Bridgette.
Maybe, uhm.
Just a little haircut, please.
I'm going to attend a concert.
Concert?
Why don't we add some more
curls?
Huh? Oh no, it might not suit me.
Please. Ma'am Anna.
You have a small face.
I'm certain it's gonna suit you.
Really, Mother?
Sure!
Alright, let's do it.
Okay!
How's your sprain?
Ah.
It's feeling much better.
Come on.
I'll help you.
Careful.
It's okay. I'll do it.
[tapping]
Let's go.
[music playing]
Uh, she's wearing wide-leg pants.
She's, uh, next to the guitarist.
And someone's on the cajn.
Um...
She's wearing a, uh,
a tube top.
And she has really big...
...big earrings.
And she's singing on stage.
And you?
Me?
Mm-hm.
What are you wearing?
Long sleeves. Uh...
Gray pants and white shoes.
[sniffing]
You smell nice.
[both laughing]
[music continues]
[crowd clapping]
Did you like it?
They're good.
No.
This.
This. My hair.
Did you notice?
It's alright.
Oh. Not your type then.
Uh, it's just new to me.
The old one was already pretty,
so you didn't have to.
For a change.
Drinks!
Hold on, I'll get some.
Ah, no.
I'll get it.
Uhm.
It's my turn now.
Okay.
- Just a sec.
- Sure.
Wait what's that for?
That whistle.
Oh, this?
It's for emergencies.
I blow this when I need help.
Like this.
[blowing whistle]
Alright, okay.
- Loud enough?
- Okay, okay.
Loud and clear.
Oh, here it is. Wait.
100 should be enough, right?
Yeah, of course.
Here.
Oh.
Okay.
I'll be quick.
[blows whistle]
Stay put.
Did anyone bother you?
No one?
What college did you go to?
I didn't finish school.
Oh, why? What was your work?
Anything I could find.
I was a Fine Arts major.
It's my dream to have a pottery studio.
You?
What?
What's your dream?
I don't have one.
Why?
Where are your parents?
I don't know.
Huh? Why don't you know?
Aren't you close?
No.
Mmm. I know.
You were a naughty child, weren't you?
Did you do something wrong?
I did a lot of things that were wrong.
You know what, it's okay.
You know what they say,
"I'm only human."
Everyone deserves a second chance.
Maybe you just need to ask for forgiveness.
Just like that.
What exactly did you do to them?
Why do you keep asking questions?
It's like I'm confessing to you.
Are you an interrogator?
Just eat.
Uh, Lino, I should get going, okay?
I have an early start tomorrow.
Thanks, Lino.
- Okay, take care.
- Anna, no.
Sorry. Sorry.
I'm just not used to having
someone interested in my life.
I'm sorry.
Are you okay with being
assigned outside of Metro Manila?
I have no problem with it.
Okay, good.
We will just get in touch with you
as soon as we get the results.
- Thank you!
- Thank you!
I wonder where my headset is.
Anna. Let's take a break.
Sure, I'll follow. Just looking
for something.
Okay, then. Catch up with us.
Anna.
How are the applicants?
Any good ones?
There are quite a few, sir.
Good.
Good job.
Here.
What's this, sir?
Just a little something
My gift to you.
That's my token of appreciation
for your hard work.
I really hope you like it.
Thank you, sir.
Oh. On that note,
I should treat you to dinner.
But I have a meeting today.
If you're free tomorrow,
let's go then.
Uh,
sir, I have plans.
I can't go. Sorry.
See you tomorrow, then.
Hi!
Hey, you!
Move aside!
Sorry! Sorry, we didn't see you.
I couldn't see you,
you couldn't see me either.
Sorry.
It's okay. We're only human.
Trying to get away?
Pay up!
Now!
Rolly.
Rolly, you have a visitor.
Sorry. He fell asleep.
It's okay.
How is he?
He's doing well.
I brought some supplies.
There's some extra for someone who needs it.
Thank you for these.
May God bless you.
You know, you're a good person.
That's not true.
I have a lot to atone for.
If the Lord can forgive,
you should forgive yourself.
Thanks.
Just a moment.
The volunteers made this.
Take it. Give it to your girlfriend.
I don't have one.
Why not?
Nobody's made a mistake yet.
In God's time, she will come into your life.
Take it with you so you're ready.
Thanks, sister.
I thought you had plans.
I think you're just avoiding me.
Sir?
That's not it.
Do you have a boyfriend?
Sorry?
I said,
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
Sir, you're drunk.
Please go home.
Well, you didn't want to go out with me.
So I thought I'd just go to your place.
Um, sir.
Sir, you have a wife.
[scoffs]
We're separated!
Sir.
Why are you being so difficult? Hm?
What's your problem with me?
Hm?
I just don't want to be involved with you.
[lamp clatters]
It doesn't have to be complicated.
We'll have a simple arrangement.
I'll get something from you.
And you'll get something from me.
S-sir.
Sir, go home. Please.
I'm begging you.
[clattering]
Shit!
Why don't you appreciate my gift?
Come here.
Open it.
Sir.
Sir.
Open it.
[sobbing]
There.
Beautiful.
This suits you.
Sir.
You're so beautiful. This will
be pretty on you.
Here.
You're so beautiful.
You smell so good.
[sobbing]
[blowing whistle]
C'mere you!
[screaming]
How dare you?!
You fucking bitch!
[thuds]
Hey!
[grunting]
[shouting]
Lino!
[grunting]
Stop!
[grunting]
Lino!
[grunting]
Enough!
If you ever come back here, you
know what's coming to you.
[grunting]
[panting]
Anna.
Are you hurt?
What did you do to sir?
You're worried about him?
Why did you hurt him?
He was disrespecting you.
Lino, I could lose my job.
But you should leave that job!
Resign, quit, press charges.
There aren't a lot of jobs for people like me.
Anna, I'm here for you.
I'll take care of you.
I don't want your charity.
Can you please leave?
Please...
Leave me alone!
Go away!
[sobbing]
[sobbing]
By the way, thanks for the...
the headband.
How's your asshole boss?
I resigned.
He's an asshole, remember?
You finally realized it.
Yeah.
Keep rubbing it in.
What do you plan now?
You said you'd take care of me, right?
Huh?
No way. That was a joke.
Hey, you said so.
Hey! Ouch.
You said, remember?
I'm just kidding.
Of course I got you.
So, since you got me now...
can I make a request?
Anna!
Hey, where are you going?
Ah, I'm buying something from the store.
It's for our picnic later.
What's that?
Now you've ruined the surprise.
Is that for me?
Yeah, so you won't be alone anymore.
Oh, thank you! Thank you!
We used to come here
all the time when I was a kid.
Family outing?
Nah. I'd escape the orphanage.
We would walk the whole way.
I knew you were a pesky kid.
Extremely pesky.
What happened to you then?
Why did you stop being
that pesky kid?
Life happened.
Where are your parents?
I don't know.
I got used to being alone.
I didn't look for them anymore.
Me, too.
I also got used to being alone.
What happened to your parents?
There was an accident.
Can you look for...
can you find me a rock?
A small one.
A pretty one.
For what? Scrubbing?
No. You...
Just find me two small pretty rocks.
Hold on.
- Come on.
- Pretty rock, pretty rock.
Yes.
Here, is this good?
- Check it out.
- Hey, not that!
Uh, what?
That's too big.
- Too big?
- Like this.
Okay.
Here.
Just a second.
Down there.
I'll be quick.
Did you find some?
There's some small ones here.
- Two.
- Okay.
Here.
What about these?
Yes.
These are perfect.
Okay.
What are they for?
For each of us.
This is a reminder...
that you are my rock.
Rock my baby-baby-baby rock.
Come on!
You're always teasing me.
It's like you don't take me seriously.
When it comes to you,
I'm always serious.
You just don't realize how hard it is...
for me to open up like this.
To love.
So.
So you love me?
You already know the answer
yet you still ask.
I even started being playful
again because of you.
This is your doing.
When did you realize that you love me?
Maybe...
When we climbed all those stairs.
So many steps, I almost shit myself.
[both laughing]
You're ridiculous.
Well, you were so heavy
and there were a lot of steps.
Anna.
Hm?
I love you.
Thank you for loving me, Lino.
Thank you.
Look sharp.
One, two.
One more.
Harder.
One more.
- Coach.
- Again.
Let's take a break.
I'm ready to fight again.
Hey. When are you starting?
That's it!
[grunting]
Hit it. Hit it.
Oh. Three.
[grunting]
Lino. Lift!
[grunting]
One more!
Put your back into it!
You think he can still fight?
I don't think he is.
Hit it. Hit it.
Number three!
Pah! Pah!
[groaning]
[screaming]
I told you my boy's ready.
Let's go on a house tour.
You're gonna tour me in our own house?
Of course. There should be
a ribbon-cutting, right?
Wait, I'll set this down.
Bantay, stay here for a bit, okay?
Okay.
Mmm...
Ah!
Ah.
Hey.
Uh, where's the table that was here?
Here.
[tapping]
Ah.
Okay.
The bulging here is gone too.
So you don't trip when you pass there.
Thank you.
The-
the table is new too?
Uh, yeah I replaced everything
that had sharp corners.
So you don't get hurt.
Thank you.
That there, I put up a painting so that...
Oh.
That was stupid.
Sorry.
Um. So that's why it seemed a
little darker here.
Ah, no. That's easy, wait.
- Here, let's take it down.
- No, no.
It's okay. It would be a waste.
Let's just tie it.
Okay then.
It's easy.
There. Is that okay?
Yes!
I can feel the sunshine on my face.
No you can't. You're teasing.
No. It's true.
By the way, where did you
get all these things?
A friend.
Your friend?
Your friend.
Um, Lino.
Thanks a lot.
I wish I could see everything
that you've done.
And I wish...
I could see you.
Am I handsome?
Yes.
I'm not.
I'm average.
No, you're more than enough.
Press harder.
Now do my back.
Do it harder.
There.
You know, you'll have
to pay me for this.
[grunting]
There.
Hey, scooch a bit more.
There.
- A little more.
- Here, here.
Oh. Oh.
- There.
- You're the reason why my back even hurts.
I learned this in Blind School.
[grunting]
- Oh?
- Ouch.
What?
Are you feeling good or
are you getting hurt?
It hurts but it's also good.
Just like love.
[laughing]
You're so corny.
[laughing]
Hey, stop. It already hurts.
[laughing]
Stop it...
Anna, what's this?
This thing on your bedside.
Ahhh. That's braille.
"Oh love, powerful and true-
once you've captured any fool,
the world be damned,
just to follow you."
Florante and Laura.
Ouch.
That was deep.
Is it your favorite?
Papa liked to say it to Mama.
You know...
"...the world be damned,
just to follow you."
Aww, how sweet.
You guys are so cheesy!
When Mama had a request,
Papa would always tease
her by saying that.
That's sweet.
They were a match made in heaven.
Like us.
Really?
Mm!
[laughing]
There you go again.
Ow.
You little...
[laughing]
That hurts!
So you don't tickle me anymore.
Go on, try to move.
Are you happy?
Of course.
I want you to be even happier.
Keep pursuing your dream, okay?
Your pottery studio.
I will support you.
I'll make it happen.
One day.
The world be damned.
Just to follow you.
Eight.
[tapping]
This way.
Julia Alfonso?
Rudolfo Alfonso?
Right.
Here we are.
Mama, Papa.
I want you to meet my boyfriend.
Lino, these are my parents.
They died the same day?
We got into an accident.
May 17, 2018.
It was my graduation day.
I insisted that we go out to celebrate.
Even though Mama prepared food at home.
Papa!
That's why I really think,
that Mama and Papa brought you into my life.
[shouting]
Where's the money?
I don't have any money.
Even if you kill me!
Is that what you really want?
My life is worthless.
It doesn't matter if you kill me.
My family has left me.
[screaming]
Police!
What's this commotion?
[sobbing]
Hey, what are you doing?
Are you and your boss happy now?
I'm about to die, look!
Stop that!
Fuck you!
Hey, stop that!
[sobbing]
Hey!
[screaming]
Don't!
[screaming]
[grunting]
[both screaming]
[sobbing]
[crying]
I'm sorry.
Anna's case is retinal detachment.
Her retina isn't receiving any oxygen,
that's why she can see... very little.
Sometimes, she can see a bit more.
If we delay the operation,
the circulation in her retina might not be restored.
And vision loss will be permanent.
It's okay, doc.
How can you say it's okay?
I'm used to being like this.
I thought you wanted to see me?
How are we going to pay for this?
I have savings.
I don't want you to use your money on me.
What's the problem?
What happened to me?
I deserve this!
Lino, this is my punishment.
If I didn't ask Mama and Papa...
- Don't say that...
- Don't say that!
- This wouldn't happen to me if...
- Don't say that...
Don't say that!
Just let me do this for you.
Please.
Do you really think that-
your mom and dad would want
you to be like this?
I thought I was your guardian
angel, Anna?
Let me do this.
For you.
For us.
For our future as a family.
Is that one even worth it?
He's desperate, boss. Needs the money.
Who are we betting on?
The opponent, boss.
This guy would never win.
Not in the right condition.
Fine.
This is on you.
Yes, boss.
Why did you even get into that?
Coach, I need money.
Do you even know you could die from that?
Help me prepare.
No matter how much we
prepare for this, Lino,
no one can prepare you if
you want a death wish.
You can never prepare for death.
That's why I'm leaving you this.
If I don't come back,
pay for Anna's hospital bills.
You know, Lino, you should
back out from that fight.
I'm already compromised, Coach.
Lino.
Try to come back alive.
Aren't you gonna answer that?
It's just Ben. It can wait.
Lino.
Stay with me, okay?
Of course.
See you?
See you.
Are you Lino?
I'm here to pick you up. Come on.
Oh.
Just a reminder, okay?
The only rule here is that there are no rules.
Anything goes.
The match only ends when someone's
knocked out or dead.
I know.
Well, here we are.
If you don't get out of this alive,
see you in hell.
Hey, throw that away.
- Yes boss.
- Somewhere far.
[crowd hooting, cheering]
[yelling]
[crowd cheering]
It's alright, we're just human.
We do not need eyes
to continue to fight...
Stay with me, okay?
I want your face to be the very
first thing I see.
See you?
You fucked me over!
Boss. I've seen him fight.
He's nothing. He just
got lucky, boss.
Lucky?
Your words were he would never win.
Then how did I lose?
Boss, I'll fix it, boss.
How?
Idiot!
[coughs]
Lino?
I'm Dr. Bautista.
I'm a colleague of Dr. Apog.
How are you?
Based on the memorandum
circular we follow,
we can definitely file the case.
And then we will coordinate
with the LGUs.
Chief, I hope you find him as
soon as possible.
I was teasing Lino about it,
the headband.
I gave it to him.
I told him to give it to his girlfriend.
And I thought maybe that's why
he hasn't come to visit.
Because he has a girlfriend now.
I don't even know where
he is right now.
This one also keeps asking about Lino.
Rolly. This is Anna, Lino's friend.
How are you, sir?
I'm well, thanks.
Anna, are you the reason why...
Lino doesn't visit me anymore?
It's okay.
Guess he replaced me with someone prettier.
Oh, uh... it's not that, sir.
I actually don't know where Lino is now.
I've known him since he was a child.
He's a good person.
I don't even have any idea where...
he could be right now.
He just suddenly disappeared.
I can't think of any reason why...
Why he would do that.
Well, he didn't mention anything to me.
But...
The Lino I know
would never abandon anyone.
I'm the prime example.
How did you meet Lino?
Very long story.
I got mixed up with bad
things back then.
May 17,
I'll never forget it.
Never.
Mama, papa.
I'm sorry.
I can't get mad at the person,
who caused everything that happened to us.
I am in love with Lino, ma...
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
[sobbing]
Grandpa Joe, how are you?
I brought you something.
Here, I made it myself.
Thank you.
I'll just put it here, okay?
Um, Nurse, is Grandpa Joe okay?
Hey, Gramps, you have a new neighbor?
Yeah. Just not very friendly.
Huh? Why?
He doesn't talk.
[laughs]
But then, maybe he's mute.
[giggles]
Try and sit up, gramps.
There, slowly.
There we go.
You've been lying down all night.
Just sit there for a bit, okay?
All right, then.
Hi!
My name is Anna.
I'm a volunteer.
You know, I used be a PWD
so I know a bit of reflexology.
Do you wanna try?
Let's look at your records, okay?
Superman doesn't have any records.
Why Superman?
He doesn't have IDs, no record.
He doesn't talk.
So I dubbed him Superman.
Uh, would you like us to...
Let's take a look at your back?
I'll help you, okay?
Careful.
There.
Lift up.
Does it hurt?
It looks like
you have a lot of broken bones.
What happened?
Uh,
aside from your feet and back,
pressure points from the hands are also good.
Let's try it.
There.
Uh, open it.
Um, okay. Next time then.
How's the operation?
Will she be able to see?
[groans]
[screaming]
Fucking hell, man.
It was all good.
We had it in the bag but you
decided to show off, huh?
Hey! What's that?
I'll call the police!
Hi, Joey!
My savior. I'm glad you're here.
Really?
Mm-mm.
Because I'm taking
Bantay for a walk.
He might get fussy later.
I thought you were glad to see me
because you missed me.
And because you realized that
you loved me all along.
[giggles]
You know what? You're
such a kidder.
Always has been.
Just man the counter, okay?
Wait for me.
We'll be quick.
Bantay and I will be right back, okay?
- Bantay!
- Okay then.
- Let's go?
- I give up.
-I've accepted that-
-Ready?
I've been friendzoned.
Okay. Oh wait, I have to feed Varda.
Eat up, Varda.
There. There's your food.
Okay then. You're in charge, okay?
Let's go.
[grunting]
How much is this?
Uh, it's 200, sir.
Hold on, let me just get one.
This novelty shop is owned by a famous artist,
Anna Alfonso.
If u want a one of a kind handmade items,
she also owns a shop just near here.
Uh, so
definitely worth the investment.
And she's also on Instagram
if you wanna follow her.
@TaongPutik.
Here, sir.
Thanks a lot.
Take care.
Thanks.
Your dog is so adorable. Seems like
you're taking good care of him.
He's fluffy.
How long have you been keeping him?
Mm! I got him when he was little.
He was about two months
when he was given to me.
He's so nice.
Yeah, he's a good boy.
Hey, where are you going, Bantay?
Stay here.
[shouts]
Bantay! Bantay!
Bantay?
Bantay!
Bantay?
Bantay?
Gosh! I thought I lost you.
I was so worried about you.
Hey, I'm sorry about him.
This is the first time he
acted like this.
Are you hurt?
Wait.
I think I know you.
I remember.
You're that man in the hospital.
Next to Grandpa Joe, right?
That was you, right?
Let me help you.
Bantay, stay here.
Let's go.
Come on.
Here.
Aaron, thank god you're here.
Could you take Bantay home?
He's being fussy.
Thank you.
- How are things?
- Hey, Anna.
I sold a mug.
Really?
Which one?
Joey?
The uh...
Did anyone come here-
-in crutches?
Yes.
Lino?
Ouch! Ouch!
Bantay,
Take care of Anna, okay?
Don't leave her alone.
Let's finish the movie.
Wait, wait.
Hug me, please.
I'm scared.
Sure, come here.
Stay here, okay?
[laughing]
I hope that's not me you're
throwing away.
Do you remember?
I said,
"When I open my eyes,"
"I want your face to be the
very first thing I see."
But why weren't you there?
Why did you disappear?
Sorry.
Sorry?
That's really all you have to say?
What happened to,
"The world be damned?"
What happened to,
"I'm your guardian angel?"
I have no right to love you.
And I have no right to
be loved by you.
Lino, I know.
And I don't even blame you.
But Anna, it's my fault.
Lino.
I hope you realize.
That I would
rather lose my sight.
Than to lose you.
I almost died, Anna.
Maybe I did, in a way.
But I keep thinking about you.
I want you to have the life you deserve.
You are my life now, Lino.
Papa!
