-Did he get out already?
Man 2: He is still inside.
-Thank you, Miss.
-Hey! This chick is okay.
-Drink up.
-These two really.
-That is a funny story, Mr. Takamura.
-Excuse me, Sir.
-Ha, more sake.
-Kampai.
-Kampai.
-I am surprised but I am glad.
-That the infamous, Mr. Takamura himself would deliver
the treasure
-I am a bit curious, Mr. Ventura.
-It's not my mode to question my client's intentions.
-How can a piece of old scrapbook
written by some obscure general...
...the last war.
-Be considered. Treasure.
-You know, you are not the only
one interested in it.
-Even the Japanese government...
..will do everything in their power just to possess it.
-Yes, yes.
-But you have your ways in the underground.
-Don't you?
-Well, yes.
-But I lost of three of my best men
just to get hold of this so called "treasure".
-And thinking of it. Makes me feel sad.
-Be sad no more, Mr. Takamura.
-I have brought you your happiness.
-Now, that I have fulfilled my part of the bargaining.
-May I see the...
-You need not talk no more, Mr. Ventura
-Your five years of searching is now over.
-Here.
-Mr. Ventura...
-...thank you for the joy, you have given me tonight.
-I have bad news, Mr. Takamura. I want my joy back!
-No!
-Hey, asshole!
-Hello.
-Hi.
-Why did you get angry?
-Because he didn't buy Coke.
-You are so shallow, you know.
-Really? I was just trying to be hard to get.
Girl 1: -you thought like that.
-Girl 2: -...too much, just for a Coke.
-Look at that.
-He really digs the chicks.
-What a schmuck.
-Really, man.
-Oh, my.
-When it comes to women.
-Wow. It is so tiring.
-You know, what I am wondering, Kiel.
Why you became an engineer.
-If you are great in handling guns.
-You know the truth of that, my dad wanted me
in the military. Like him.
-That is why I accepted.
-The truth is I wanted to be an engineer.
-What is the connection from your ability to hold a gun?
-Well, maybe to give you protection and safety.
-How about Nats?
-You know Desiree, my brother and I are passionate
on one thing.
-Instead of becoming a pilot, we'll just shoot guns here.
-Ah, by the way. Why did you invite Nats and I here?
-Yes, that. I have good news.
-We have a new project.
-Somebody would hire our services.
-Mr. Ventura called me.
-Ken, what is the matter?. We been on the road for 14 hours.
Where the hell are we going?
-I am not sure. I just found out that it is an old building
that was made into a Japanese garrison...
...during the war is our destination.
-What's mysterious about it is after the war, the Americans
found no one and only destroyed things remained.
-How about this Mr. Ventura guy that hired us?
How did you know meet him?
-I don't know him personally. We were just referred to him.
-To help search of an unrecovered Japanese treasure.
-You mean, he is a treasure hunter?
-Yes, but I ask myself why. Why did he ask for engineers
for this project?
-Yes, you are right.
-Wait, I think we are here.
-Let's go.
-What is this? just like a haunted house.
-Just like Frankenstein's house.
Right, Sassy?
-Move out of the way, faggot!
-Correction. I am a woman.
-Yeah right, a woman.
-Where are we going?
-I don't want to come inside.
-Look at it. The place looks really weird.
-Don't worry.
-I think I have to check the place first.
-At last, my search is ended.
-Hammer the door.
-Ken!
-Check the place out.
-Nats.
-Brando. Alex. Accompany them.
-How is it Ken?
-We can't stay inside Mr. Ventura.
-It is too dangerous.
-Why?
-The building is about to collapse. It is too old.
-Don't mind.
-Bobby. Set up camp there.
-Yes, Sir.
-Hold it there.
-Be careful with those crates. It might be dropped.
-Yes.
-There are more here.
-Dammit!
-Did I just say that you be careful!
-Guns?
-Clean that up.
-Mr. Ventura, what are those guns for?
-I am paying you guys to find gold. Not to ask questions.
-Sir, I think we have the right to know because
we are your contractors.
-Nats.
-I also have the right to not answer you
because I am your boss.
-Here. Here.
-Slowly.
-Place it here. Slowly.
-Hey. You keep on peeking there.
You might see something there later.
-Brother, look.
Why?
-I've been watching them for a while.
-They are putting their armament there.
-The ones we saw earlier.
-So, they are hiding all of the armament there.
-One complete armory.
-Come on, lets go.
-Close that.
-Yes.
-My God. My God.
-I don't believe this, Des.
-You know, Nats being this video freak.
-He brings it everywhere.
-Imagine. VHS.
-TV Monitor.
-Videocam and all of his favorite tapes.
-Brought it over here on the job site.
-I thought this job would give us an opportunity
to escape civilization once in a while.
-But you know what I am feeling?
-I am in Manila.
-The one you are watching looks good.
-But I think its getting late.
-Why do you go to your tent?
-And have a good and sleep. Right?
-Because tomorrow we have a lot of work to do.
-You are such a pooper. When the movie is just
ending, you want me to leave.
-And besides I am not yet sleepy.
-Sir, do you need anything else?
-None.
-Good night.
-Good night.
-Ah, Sharon!
-Sir?
-Make the breakfast early so the people can work immediately.
-Yes.
-Your makeup. Remove it.
-Yes.
-Hello, lover boy. Am I Beautiful?
-Yes, you are pretty.
-Really?
-Pretty much to choke on. Get out of here.
-Mike, its 7:30. Why are we the ones assigned to guard?
-Don't know.
-Damn.
-While all of them their are singing and enjoying.
-Its better if we head out there.
-Right?
-Yes, let's go.
-Do you not notice anything, big brother?
-Notice what?
-As if that building is coated with mysteries
-Its frightening.
-You know what guys, that is the same feeling I get.
-Its like very strange and very scary. Right?
-Be scared of that. When the generator continues to break down.
-Sir.
-Jo is here.
-Come in!
-Go in.
-Good Evening, Sir.
-What happened to the generator?
-Eventually, the fan belt broke.
-But, I'll find a way.
-Fix it, Jo.
-I need that generator. Do you understand me?
-Yes,sir.
-Were you not surprised in accepting this contract?
-Why is that?
-Nothing, you know I don't really have any trust
in that old woman.
-You know, I thinks its better if we are outside.
-I think lets talk over there. Shall we?
-Lets go.
-You know what, Ken? I really don't believe Mr. Ventura.
-Why is that?
-Looks like he is not trustworthy that bald one.
-Bald, huh.
-And I have this strong feeling...
-...that he is not the real Mr. Ventura.
-You know, Des. Whomever he is.
-What's important whether we finish or not...
-...after five days...
-...we are going to leave.
-Buddy, how are things?
-Lets go.
-Hey, we still have lots of food there.
-We will just be there.
-Your glasses have been waiting for you.
-Hi! Here are your bar snacks, boys.
-This is for you.
-Right on.
-How are you?
-Yes? That is for later. You naughty one.
- Dance! Sharon. Dance! Sharon.
-Sway your hips! Sway your hips!
-Ow!
-There you go.
-What's the matter? Its your turn. Its taking so long, you are
making it a comic book.
-Damn, Sassy what did you do?
-What a witch of a dog are you!
-Sir, would be angry on what you are doing.
-You are such as very playful dog.
-Even things that not your own.
-Sharon!
-Sharon! Sharon!
-Sharon!
-Sharon! What is the matter?
-Sir.
-Is the breakfast ready?
-It is really ready, Sir.
-Good. Have them eat already.
-Sir, Jo is missing.
-What do you mean he is missing?
-Eh, I stumbled on the door of the generator left open.
-And this is what I found.
-He is just there. Maybe just pissed off
when I scolded him last night.
-Alright, let everybody take care of their food so we
can start working.
-Isko.
-Sir?
-Finish that later. You prioritize the generator first.
-Sir, I don't know how to fix the generator.
Only Pedring knows about it.
-Okay, go to Pedring!
-Tell him I need lights on site.
-Yes.
-Big brother, how about it? You are taking so long.
We'll go ahead.
-Sure, I'll be right there.
-Your brother really surpasses a woman
-Mr. Ventura, what is this big cage for?
-That is just for safety.
-If any of my men goes crazy.
-Surely, they will straighten up inside that cage.
-Lets go, lets continue to the site.
-Bingo!
-Boys, you start digging there at the back of that wall.
-Yes.
-Ola! Boys and girls, good news! It is eating time!
-Until how many days are we going to stay, Mr. Ventura?
-I can't say.
-But from the signs that I a seeing.
-We are not staying long here.
-What type of treasure is buried there?
-It wasn't mention in my diary.
-But I am sure, we are getting a big amount from there.
-Mr. Ventura, in any case you are not able
to discover the treasure that you mentioned.
-We are going to leave.
-You are not allowed to leave.
-Remember that we have a contract.
-I know, Mr. Ventura.
-But it is also specified in our contract...
-...that is a maximum of five days.
-allowed to stay here.
-So be it for five days.
-That is why lets work quickly.
-Isko.
-Man, do you have a light there?
-Do you have matches? Buddy?
-Are you there?
-Buddy? Isko buddy?
-Where are you?
-What speed in digging!
-Are you digging in there, buddy?
-Ah, my friend. He is just going to sleep
and lay here in the hole of all places.
-Are you okay there?
-Wake up. If sir catches us here we are in for trouble.
-He is here.
-He is here.
-Nats.
-Mr. Ventura. I can't understand you.
-You have a man dead and yet you are
here laughing.
-Why?
-Are you not regretting the life of your man?
-Ken.
-I already told you.
-You have a lot things that you are
not supposed to know.
-I don't want someone persistent.
-Sassy? Sassy?
-Sassy?
-Sassy?
-Where did this witch of a dog went?
-Sassy?
-Sweetheart! Come to Mommy.
-Sassy?
-Sassy?
-Sassy? Sassy?
-Come to Mommy, darling.
-Sassy?
-Oh, my! Sassy! We'll get caught in the rain
please show yourself.
-Sassy?
-Darling?
-Darling? Ah!
My poise here is going to get ruined.
-Hey, Sassy! Show yourself already.
-Darling?
-Sassy?
-Sassy?
-Mommy is getting tired, darling.
-Where are you?
-Sassy?
-I am getting tired, ah.
-What kind of this pet of mine.
-I am sorry, Mr. Ventura.
We really don't like it anymore.
-The moment we get back to Manila. We will
return the whole amount you gave us.
-And then we are even.
-Ken. I told you already earlier.
-We have a contract.
-Or maybe you want to meet up in court.
-We will face you in any court.
-Your contract is deceitful.
-In the first place, null and void.
-Because of your lies.
-I am sorry, Mr. Ventura.
-But we are more excited to demolish this building
and have a new one built.
-Instead of looking for nothing.
-Guys, lets go.
-Go here. Through here.
-Lights!
-Cage!
-Finally, you are mine!
-Guard Balawis, attentively!
-Alex, get the tranquilizer gun.
-I don't know how long our lights can hold, Balawis.
Go on, hurry.
-Brando, outside.
-Ken, what is that?
-What kind of animal is that?
-Tell the guys to prepare the ropes and the truck.
-We will leave at the crack of dawn.
-Yes, sir.
-Mr. Ventura.
-All the while we were hunting for a Balawis.
-It was only a legend. Before.
-But now, its true.
-Fuck!
-What happened?!
-Why did you let Balawis escape!
-Professor.
-Three in our group were killed.
-Professor?
-Professor Malcom Venturino.
-It is you.
-My hunch was right.
-He is Professor Malcolm Venturino.
-The famous archaeologist of the country.
-You are right, Des.
-I am Malcolm Venturino.
-But why do you have the hide your true character, Mr. Ventura?
-If you just knew what happened to me...
-...you'll understand.
-What did happen to you?
-Do you see my limp leg?
-I discovered a Triassic aged fossil.
-The discovery could have been a great honor for our country.
-But because of greed and for sole recognition...
-...my colleague attempted to kill me.
-They smuggled the fossil out of the county
then sold and became a primary attraction in Europe.
-They left me as though I was already dead.
-My stomach was wound was saved in time but
I had a severe knee wound.
-If so why did you choose us to be your companions.
-Because I thought if I hired another archeologist
-it might end up bad for me again.
-Now you have seen your goal, professor.
-Maybe we can already go home.
-You can not go home.
-Not until I catch Balawis again.
-Nats is right.
-Our contract is finished.
-We will go home.
-Let's go.
-Brando.
-Lock them upstairs.
-Walk!
-Go up!
-Find Balawis!
-Sir, its outside.
-Balawis!
-Lets go.
-Where is Dante?
-Sir, I know he was just right behind us.
-Its good that the rain stopped.
-Dude, are you not scared of what you
signed up for?
-As long as I earn,
I don't care what my boss is into.
-But you know what,
you might because of your work.
-As long as I have gun,
I have nothing to fear.
-But we are not dealing with humans.
-But a monster.
-even if its a monster...
-it would not be spared by my bullets.
-What if it doesn't get affected by bullets?
-Hey, wait a minute.
-That is a different matter.
-Dude, that is what I am talking about.
-With the thickness of the skin of that monster...
-...I assure you a bullet would not harm it.
-I know you are just pulling my leg.
-I leave it up to you.
-I need to deal with the Balawis.
I will be the one to kill it.
-Wait.
-Brando!
-Dammit!
-Alex, find them.
-If those three escape we would be found out.
-Return immediately, quick!
-Yes, sir.
-Let's wait for Nats here. Where are you going?
I'll go ahead to the van.
-Let's wati for Nats here.
-No, you stay here and wait for him.
-Des, don't be hard headed. Des!
-Big Brother!
-What took you so long?
-A lot in our group are now dead. I know we this.
-We will fight.
-Des?
-Ken!
-Des is really not here.
-Let's go back for her.
-Right, brother. Go back for her. I'll stay here.
-Asshole! come with me.
-Ouch!
-That's Des!
-Yeah!
-Don't be noisy.
-What happened to you?
-I'll tell you later. It's important that we get out of here.
Let's go here.
-No, Balawis.
-Don't hurt me.
-Don't you know that I have searched for you for 20 years,
I have poured in a lot of money and time for you.
-The others can't understand you.
But I am you ally. I can understand you.
-I will make you popular.
-You will be talked about in the whole world.
-You'll be in the covers of Time Magazine, National Geographic,
and Life.
-You'll be more popular than Godzilla and King Kong.
-You want a human to eat?
-I'll give it to you every day at any number.
-I am you friend, Balawis.
-You know, Nats. You are so lucky I brought
my first aid kit.
-Lucky? You didn't see that we almost both got killed.
-Hey, stop complaining.
-You know guys, that Balawis would not relent
until we are dead.
-We need to find a way.
-A way?
-What kind of way if bullets can't even harm it?
-We need to make a way.
-We need to have the monster go through here.
-I believe that,..
-...here we would eventually destroy it.
-But the question is...
-...how?
-Hey guys, I have this crazy idea.
-But...
-...I don't know if it will work.
-The Balawis babies.
-Des is right, brother.
-Let's bring the children of Balawis here.
-because I noticed earlier...
-...it could have already killed us.
-But when it heard the cries of its children, it left us both.
-Correct.
-The child of Balawis.
-Nats stay with Des, I will come back.
-No Ken, you stay. I don't know anything about that.
-I am the one who'll return there.
-Des, be careful.
-Nats.
-It's showtime!
-Ken, the baby Balawis is here.
-Go, put it inside. Hurry up!
-Stay here.
-Why did you lock the door?
-The baby balawis might escape.
-How would Balawis get inside?
-Stay here, I'll go back.
-This is it guys.
