Feng Shui 2 (2014) Movie Script
Careful.
That goes in the living room.
Those go over there.
Oh, no.
Go get it, please.
The two of us should come.
Hurry.
Hey, what's that?
I think it's a toy.
Let's show Mommy.
Mommy!
Mommy!
It's finally over.
Have you told her already,
Auntie?
Thelma, what's this?
I don't want--
Just listen to your son.
Ingrid, come out here.
[gasps]
We were in the accident too,
Joy.
We are among those who died.
[shrieks]
[shrieking]
[soft piano music playing]
[soft piano music continues]
[rustling]
[soft piano music continues]
[screaming]
[sobbing] My dear! No!
[gasps]
-Please, don't.
-[door opens]
Mommy!
Mommy!
My child.
[clattering]
Mommy, hurry up!
Mommy, we need to leave now.
[whimpering]
Mommy, quick,
she's right behind us!
Betsy, don't!
Hurry!
Mommy!
[shrieking]
Hey, we need help here!
-Oh, my God!
-Help!
-Oh, my God, the poor woman!
-Help!
[siren wailing]
I'm sorry, ma'am, but no one's
allowed to go inside.
Ma'am, sir.
You can now get
your personal belongings.
Someone must have pushed her.
The 34-year-old woman fell
on the monkey bars.
She allegedly jumped
from the penthouse
of a condominium in Manila
this morning.
Her husband Ramon Babiano
also died.
The 40-year-old
real estate magnate
was found riddled with bullets.
Come in.
So it's you.
Weren't you a thief before?
What if you just steal it?
You can do that, right?
Why don't you just meet
with him?
Talk to him.
You understand each other
anyway.
You are a dog.
You're smart.
You follow carefully.
[indistinct chattering]
-Mr. Atong, a little help.
-No problem.
Let's go.
Moy. The usual.
There you go again, making me
lose money as always.
Come on, I share what I earn
with you whenever I can.
-But I guess you don't want it.
-Bro, bro, wait!
In a few hours,
it'll be my birthday.
I'm turning 23.
Moy, don't forget,
we're going out later, okay?
Are you sure I'll earn
from that deal too?
Of course.
You'll have more to spend
for your party.
Come back later at 1 a.m.,
okay?
I have a present for you.
Really? Sure.
Yes, ma'am.
Bless me, Mom.
Have you eaten?
Hang on.
What exactly are you doing?
Hey, hey, hey!
Don't mess with me!
-I can smell you from outside.
-That strengthens me!
Why did you throw it away?
Do you think it's easy to live
in a place like this?
At least your father
made a promise to get me
even a small house.
A house?
Where?
And where is he now?
In a desert in Kuwait?
He hasn't even sent us
a single letter.
It's been five years, Mom,
and you're still hoping?
We may have been hard up then,
but our house stood
on solid ground.
Here we go again.
No matter how much you drink,
your Robert
will never come back.
Lester!
Sorry, Mom.
I meant "Dad."
Your father will come back.
He'll surprise us.
Believe me, son.
[cellphone chimes]
[keys jangling]
Forgive me.
Just making a living.
What's this?
-[hooves clopping]
-[motorcycle humming]
[knocking on door]
Careful with that.
Take care of him.
Okay.
This isn't the full amount.
We'll pay the balance tomorrow,
after we open it.
Why can't she open it now?
The ritual isn't done yet.
It isn't safe to unwrap.
Let's go.
I said tomorrow.
Don't you mess with me!
I know where to find you!
[distant sirens wailing]
[electricity buzzing]
[motorcycle humming]
You guys are early.
Boss Paulo says you need
to return the motorbike.
Jack, I told you I'd pay
in full before Sunday.
I don't remember you
saying that.
Hey!
All of you, return that!
-That's not his.
-Jack.
-What?
-You're drunk.
Let's talk tomorrow.
Pay up
or I'll take your motorcycle!
You've got money, right?
-Jack!
-Give it to me.
How dare you? Give it to me!
You better split, Lester, Moy.
I'll take care of this. Go!
-Come on, bro.
-Get out of here!
Help me!
Reach for him, hurry!
What were you thinking?
You messed with the wrong guy.
Hurry up!
[clattering]
[dog barking]
[clattering]
[floorboard creaks]
[gasps]
Shameless bastards!
He's way past his due date.
-Lester.
-Let's go!
Lester, wake up! Quick!
They're taking your bike!
Get up now!
-I'll report you! That's wrong!
-Hey! Hey!
-You're insane!
-Boss!
-Come on, Lester.
-My bike.
It's been three months.
You know the rules.
Moy, hurry up!
Boss Lester needs you.
Hey! That's not right!
-You pigs!
-Moy! Moy!
-Moy! Hurry up!
-What's going on?
-They took Lester's bike!
-Moy, hurry up!
-You didn't keep your promise.
-Have pity on us.
-Don't take our things.
-Moy, hurry up.
-Please have pity on us.
-Bring those down.
-Boss Paulo.
-We're gonna pay.
-Boss, I'll get money later.
-Bring those down.
Here's my cellphone. I'll get
it back when I have the money.
Take everything you see inside.
-Okay.
-Please, not that.
-Boss Paulo will get mad.
-Here, boss.
-Give me my bike back.
-Did you steal that?
No. This is clean.
-Boss, I earned this money.
-Can you believe him?
-Get that.
-Go, go.
We'll pay day after tomorrow
I said no. Give me that.
-Come on, let's go.
-Here.
Boss. Hey, boss.
Will you shut up?
I've got the cash here.
Mom.
Can you come here?
What?
-Who put this here?
-What is that?
Why would I hang
something like that up?
We're not even Chinese.
-Hey, Endon?
-Yes?
Come here.
Did you hang that up there?
What is that, Auntie Ruby?
It's called a bagua.
It brings good fortune.
That's probably why
your luck's been good today.
What luck? That's not even ours.
I'm taking that back.
Mom, here's some spending money.
-I'm so lucky.
-Awesome.
Nice one, Auntie Ruby.
Now you can buy a bottle of gin.
Please, let me talk
to your boss. Wait a minute.
Boss, please, I beg you.
I have 1,500 here.
In two days,
I can give you 3,000, then--
-Never mind.
-Boss, take this.
Wait, I want the full amount.
I'm fed up with your promises.
I'll find a way.
Why can't you be like Lester?
He's resourceful.
-We're done.
-Please, wait. I'm begging you.
You're one big show-off,
aren't you?
-You think you can get past me?
-Help!
[motorcycle revs]
Hey, get back here!
You jerk, hey!
You're dead meat! Moron!
[drum beats]
-I want to start a business.
-How may I help you?
Miss.
[indistinct chatter]
[car horn honks]
Hello, boss? I'm on my way.
I got all the things you need.
Okay, sir.
Do you need anything else, sir?
Okay, sir.
[ATM rumbles]
This bracelet complements
the Year of the Snake.
Like this one,
it's made of crystals,
to protect you
against envious people.
This one brings happiness
or harmony.
Then this one is for business,
stability and prosperity.
Then this one is for love
and protection.
What do you think will she like,
sir?
This one.
[oriental music playing]
[oriental music continues]
[oriental music fades]
Please, come in.
I have something for good luck.
Mr. Atong, please help me out.
Les. Les.
You missed the commotion.
Boss Paulo was rushed
to the hospital.
He's in critical condition.
What happened?
Ben pushed Boss Pao really hard
and Boss Paulo's head
hit the corner of the food cart
and his skull cracked.
He was bleeding.
Then Jack furiously attacked.
Good thing the police arrived.
They were so mad.
It should be four...
That's mine.
My dad gave that to me.
What are you talking about?
This is mine.
-I'll tell my dad on you.
-I don't care.
Hey, wait for me.
Bro, you know you irritate Jack.
This will really piss him off.
Lester...
Lester.
Son?
Dad.
I'd like to ask
for your forgiveness.
Can you still accept me?
I know it's been five years,
but I've never forgotten you,
my son.
I waited for this moment
to fulfill my promise.
But what took you so long, Dad?
You're right.
I have a lot to explain to you,
son.
But there's a time for that.
For now, pack your things.
We're moving.
-What?
-Yes, you're leaving this place.
I told you.
Your dad never forgot us.
Hey, put it over there.
Yes, sir.
Hey, be careful.
You might scratch it.
This is for you.
-I found it in Ongpin.
-No way.
Really.
Do you think I'd mess with you?
Be wary of that phone's owner.
They keep texting.
Says they're gonna offer
a reward.
How much?
-Ten thousand.
-That's a lot.
Did you reply?
No. I don't want
to complicate things.
Just sell it for easy money.
All right.
-Take care, Lester.
-Take care.
Okay, Endon. Nelia.
I'll come visit soon.
Lester, take it easy.
Will do, Endon.
-Take care of our house.
-Will do.
I'll watch over it.
See you.
-You came.
-Of course.
Do you think I'd forget
about you?
Someone advised me
to move houses tonight
because of the full moon.
They say it's lucky.
Mr. Co here. Return the bagua.
I'll give you 10K.
I brought rice, sugar
and salt in the house
for good luck.
Who told you to do that,
Dad?
The real estate agent.
Even these trinkets...
Please text back.
I'll make it 15K.
She advised I get some.
Elephants and rabbits?
Yes. She said I was born
in the Year of the Rabbit.
Please return the bagua.
Please text back.
And that elephants
prevent accidents.
So you're a rabbit, huh?
I wonder what animal
my birth year represents.
Horse!
-Red Horse!
-You nut case!
Red Horse.
You were born
in the Year of the Rat, Ruby.
Rat?
Yes.
-Are you kidding me?
-You're a rat.
I don't like that. They stink.
But it's true.
Rats are really part
of the Chinese Horoscope.
Lester, this is it.
This is our new home.
Wow! It's so beautiful.
Have you settled
the paperwork for this?
The agent will bring them
tomorrow.
-That's why I apologize.
-It's beautiful.
-I didn't bring home gifts.
-My goodness.
I spent all my savings
from Kuwait on this.
No wonder the house
is almost complete, Dad.
Gorgeous!
I have more good news.
-I got a promotion.
-Really?
We need to celebrate.
Your dad's so lucky.
This isn't ordinary wine.
It's a special brand. Imported.
-There you go.
-This is too much, Robert.
-Let's have a toast first.
-Okay.
To being together once again.
-To being together once again.
-[glasses clink]
It's very strong.
It's good.
Thanks for the good fortune
you brought us.
[slow footfalls]
[cellphone chiming]
Hello, Ellen?
Hello, Lester.
Thanks for your gift.
I'm already wearing it.
I'm thirsty.
Still thirsty?
I can do one more round.
Year of the Snake.
It will bring you luck,
but not me.
I don't think so.
But I still feel lucky
because you called.
It's okay, Les.
Ellen...
I'm sorry.
No, I'm really thirsty.
Okay.
I'll get you something to drink.
No, I'll do it. Stay here.
Did you miss me?
Of course.
You ignored me for three months.
-You're earning well now.
-I'll be right back.
You gave me an expensive gift.
I sell antiques now.
I'll send you a picture of it,
then I'll send the item to you.
Where is it?
There you go.
Just one shot.
So good.
One more shot.
I was offered 20,000 for this,
but I'm not sure
if I'll take it.
Lester?
-Hello? Ellen?
-Hello.
-The line's getting choppy.
-Hello?
[gasps]
Lester, it's your mom! Hurry!
Ruby?
Ruby!
Ruby!
-What are you doing?
-[Ruby gurgling]
I'm already here.
Lester, what happened
to your mom when I was away?
Mom?
Ruby!
Ruby!
Lester, help me!
Lester!
Mom! Mom!
Mom!
Open the door.
Open the door!
The car keys are upstairs,
-by the door!
-Where?
Lester!
Lester!
Ruby! Ruby! Ruby!
-Mom! Mom!
-Ruby!
Mom! Mom!
-Mom!
-Ruby!
Mom! Mom! Mom!
Mom!
[siren wailing]
Dad, here are Mom's
best clothes.
Lester,
I can't afford a decent casket.
I don't want to make
another cash advance.
I hope you've saved some.
I'll see what I can do.
I'll meet you there.
Okay, son.
[engine starts]
Lester. Come in.
That's 30,000 pesos.
She's been through a lot.
She gave everything
to help other people.
In the end,
what did she get?
Suffering and death.
Tell him
to take us with him.
She needs me.
I think this is the only way
for me to get the bagua back.
Take us there.
This is the only way
she can reclaim the bagua.
Pay me double then.
Don't you follow me.
And don't look at the bagua.
What is she doing?
She's calling on the spirits.
Our new house has spirits?
The bagua, wherever it is,
brings with it all the souls
trapped inside of it.
Aunt Mei Lian,
I'm bringing you home.
I'll take you back
to your ancestors.
Your siblings await you.
-I'm waiting for you so--
-[door creaks open]
Don't bother her.
Leave her alone.
Mom?
-No, Lester!
-Mom.
That's not them anymore!
-They're just illusions.
-Mom!
-You can't talk to them.
-Mom!
[shrieking]
Auntie? Auntie!
What happened to her?
I don't know, But I need
to take her to the hospital.
Help me. Open the door.
Wait.
You're leaving me here?
Did we break the curse?
Looks like Auntie
couldn't handle it.
Wait, what about me?
I don't know.
Just don't bother us!
-[car door slams]
-[engine starts]
[gasps]
[screaming]
Sir. Sir, are you okay?
Sir. Sir.
Have a seat, sir.
Do you want us to call the cops?
No. I'm all right.
Are you the real estate agent?
No, sir.
Akari Delivery, for Anonuevo.
Are you Mr. Anonuevo?
What time is it?
It's past 9:00.
Sir?
My dad's not here yet.
Can you please bring them in?
-[line ringing]
-[car horn honks]
[cellphone chiming]
Lester, what happened to you?
Sorry, Dad. Something happened
last night.
But don't worry, I'm fine.
Where are you?
I'm at home.
By the way, you have a delivery.
Should I be the one to sign it?
-Get the other one.
-Go ahead.
-Be careful.
-Receive the item.
I'll take care
of your mother's wake.
Don't worry about her wake
and funeral.
I'll handle the arrangements.
Thank God
I don't need to borrow money.
I'm almost there.
That's a lot of rabbits.
Were you born
in the Year of the Rabbit, too?
We're the same, sir.
Good morning.
Is Mr. Anonuevo there?
Miss, wait, don't worry,
I live here.
I'm the homeowner's son.
What's wrong?
Just have your father sign
these papers,
then have him send them
to the office.
Miss, he's on his way here.
When are you coming back?
Miss, I live here.
Don't be scared.
I really need to go.
Have your father sign those
and bring them to our office.
I really need to go.
Ms. Ramirez.
Sir, just sign these papers and
send them back to our office.
Refuse the good fortune
while there's still time.
[engine starts]
That's the real estate agent
I was talking to you about.
She's a happy person,
I wonder what's wrong with her.
I see you hung your antique
bagua already. It's nice.
[indistinct chattering]
-Mommy, I love you.
-Where's your dad?
Mommy, buy me a bike, please.
The sales report of your group
tells us you've reached
your quota.
And perhaps,
even your personal best.
This is good news, Joy.
You're back at being number one.
Even I can't believe it.
Eighty percent
of your reservations
have turned into actual sales.
The company is very happy
with your performances.
Even with your medium range
packages. Congratulations.
In the meantime,
your wish to go to Boracay,
we decided to grant it.
You know, it's just stress.
Be kind to yourself.
These are our security lights
equipped with a sensor.
It lights up
when there is motion
and when someone passes by.
We'll get a double
and a single light.
Okay, sir.
Joy.
I already talked
to the electrician.
Told him to install the sensors
at your place tonight.
You're lucky the maid screamed
when she saw the robber.
She became hysterical.
Joy, I really think
it would be wise
to keep a gun in the house.
You know how traumatized I am
with guns,
especially when I saw Inton
being shot in front of me.
No.
Times are different now.
Recently,
I heard about a couple,
they were bound and stabbed
by an intruder.
I'd feel better
knowing you have something
to defend yourself with.
And besides, what's the use
of me being head of security
if I can't even teach you
to protect yourself?
Joy, you mean so much to me.
And you mean the world to me.
Have you told your kids about
our Boracay trip this weekend?
Yup, Jean already agreed
to have them stay with her.
So we have the whole weekend
to ourselves.
-Did you wait long?
-Yes, sir.
Sorry,
we went to the supermarket.
It's okay.
Inday?
-Let me help you.
-Inday!
-Inday, bring these inside.
-Yes, ma'am.
Auntie Joy,
did you buy your favorite food?
Of course.
-Inday, please cook this.
-Sure, ma'am.
Come, Mio, join your Uncle Doug
and I for dinner.
I don't get your dad.
You're too young
to be left alone at home.
I'm not a kid anymore.
I'm 9 years old already.
Hey, don't lie to me.
You're only 6 years old.
No, I'm not.
Really?
Show me your birth certificate.
This one's more important.
Joy.
I've been wanting
to give this to you.
You thought it's gonna be
just a long weekend?
Of course I remember.
Happy second anniversary.
I'll be annulled soon.
By then, I can marry you.
Mio, it's not a toy.
Don't play with that.
But it's so cool. Magic.
[singing a hymn]
[continues singing hymn]
[continues singing hymn]
[continues singing hymn]
[singing fades]
Les, condolence.
Thank you for coming
to Mom's wake.
I was shocked by the news.
How are you?
Les, you'll be fine.
I've known you long enough
to know you can handle this.
Ellen...
I need you.
Let's talk about that
some other time.
A little help from Daddy and I.
[Lester sniffles]
He's waiting for me in the car.
Thank you.
[crickets chirping]
[engine starts]
[indistinct chattering]
Lester.
-Les.
-Our sympathies.
Miss Nelia.
Condolence.
-Condolence.
-Thank you.
Lester, do you know
that Paulo has died?
Now, it's your mom.
Everyone's terrified
by the deaths.
-Boss Paulo?
-Yes.
Just last night.
He died in his sleep.
So Jack thinks
he's the king now.
It's good you left
our place already.
He still calls your name
when he's drunk.
Why aren't Endon and Moy
with you?
They're together.
They just attended to something,
but will be here soon.
Where's the ATM card?
That's the only thing we got.
Forty thousand was withdrawn.
I have nothing to do
with that.
What about the reward?
-Tell her.
-Miss, what about the reward?
[scoffs]
How old are you?
Sixteen.
Already a criminal at that age?
I'm not...
You wiped out the cash
in that ATM card
and you still want a reward?
But that's really all we got,
sir.
Endon.
Run.
Think you're so tough, huh?
[gasps]
[lock clicks]
[gasps]
Bad luck.
[breathing heavily]
[car horn honks]
It has found you.
What do you mean?
A serious problem
brought you here.
I want you to meet someone.
You two have the same problem.
Come in.
[footfalls]
Joy and Lily,
you two are here
because of the bagua.
The bagua hasn't been with me
for some time now.
Why is there still a connection?
What else does it need?
Mr. Liao, about three days ago,
I saw the woman
with the Lotus Feet.
That's all I want to know.
What does it mean?
I can't answer that, Miss Lily.
Is she making her presence felt
because she wants to come back?
All I know is Mei Lien's niece
arrived from China,
to get the bagua
and bring it back
to their homeland
to let it lie beside
the remains of their clan.
But it looks like
she didn't succeed.
How do you know that?
He is Leonard.
He was with Mei Lien's niece.
He saw everything.
They planned to take the bagua
back to China,
but what happened was horrible.
Her soul was taken by Mei Lien.
With Mei Shu Lien's death,
the bagua's curse might worsen.
How?
She took her niece's soul
into the bagua.
Now there's two of them,
and because of that
it's possible the bagua
would take two lives
at a time.
Mei Lien saw how the people
in the temple
were brutally killed
by the People's Army.
[clamoring]
When she was found alone,
they immediately abducted her,
and showed her to the people
to let them know
that their age-old ideology
has come to an end,
and that Socialism
has taken over.
As she held on to the bagua,
that was then covered with gold,
she saw the people
her family helped
staring at her, doing nothing.
Hatred then started growing
inside of her for everyone,
especially for her family
who abandoned her.
And her curse spoke
of bad luck.
I was never unlucky.
I never experienced bad luck.
Other people did, but not me.
What is your buyer's name?
Robert Anonuevo.
Anonuevo?
He's my employee.
My company in Kuwait
hired him five years ago.
He was recently promoted.
It's clear. The bagua
is drawing all owners together,
including the bagua's thief,
as part
of Lotus Feet's intricate plan
that would lead all
to her desired ending,
the meeting
of all living owners
of the bagua.
[sobbing]
In the name of the Father,
and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
The grace upon
our Lord Jesus Christ
and the love of God,
and the communion
of the Holy Spirit...
-Hello, Joy? Joy?
-Hello, Doug.
I'm at the airport.
Where are you?
Joy, there's a problem.
Dad had a heart attack.
I'm sorry, Joy.
This is really unexpected.
Dad seemed healthy, then...
He had an attack
just a while ago?
Yes. Thirty minutes ago.
Sorry, I wasn't able
to call right away.
I had to contact
my sister first
and my cousin
who's a cardiologist.
What hospital are you in?
I'm going there right now.
Come visit us some time.
You haven't seen your godchild
for a long time.
-Okay. Sure.
-I'll be expecting you.
Robert, we already have
a reservation
at Dragon Orchids Restaurant.
Let's see each other there,
okay?
Sure. See you there.
[keys jangling]
[Robert sighs]
Now that your mom's gone,
I'm going to sell the house.
I'll give you a portion
of the money.
But... I need to start
a new life.
You're already of age, Lester.
Start planning your own life.
Don't worry.
I'll manage.
I was the one who supported Mom
...not you.
I'll take it from here.
I won't go with you anymore.
I can go home by myself.
This is my house.
No one comes in here
without my permission.
Lester, why are you here?
Come with me.
You're so stubborn.
Didn't I tell you
not to come here?
Jack's still on the lookout
for you.
What happened to them?
They were found dead
in a slaughterhouse.
Lester, I'm serious.
Rumor has it
that Jack wants you killed.
Get out of here.
I'm going to talk
to Aling Nelia.
Don't.
She blames you. She says
you're the bearer of misfortune.
First, Paulo dies.
Then, your mom.
Now, this...
Everyone's now avoiding
this place
for fear they might land
the same fate.
Ma'am, your bathtub's ready.
Okay.
[exhales]
[sighs]
[gasps]
[indistinct chattering]
What do you want?
I won't cause trouble.
I just need some answers.
Auntie only told me one thing.
Never look myself in its mirror.
That's what you failed to do.
Why did they die...
and not me?
Auntie said that the first one
who peers into its mirror
will be the recipient
of good fortune.
Everyone who looks into it
next will die
as payment
for the luck you received.
Try to remember
who else saw themselves
in the mirror.
They're lives
are surely in danger.
[engine humming]
-Okay, man, see you on Sunday.
-Okay.
-Let's keep in touch.
-Thanks, man.
-We'll fetch you on Sunday.
-Sure thing.
-Be safe.
-You, too.
[phone ringing]
[phone continues ringing]
Lester?
Lester!
Lester?
Lester, is that you?
[slow footfalls]
Jack!
Jack!
Jack!
[Robert grunts, groans]
[clattering]
That's impossible.
You weren't the one I saw.
Actually, I'm about to go there.
I'm just unpacking my things.
It's not a good time, Joy.
Jean is here with the kids.
Mommy called them.
All of my siblings
are here, too.
Things are complicated
right now.
Joy?
You don't have to explain to me.
I understand what your family's
going through.
I love you, Joy.
I promise, I'll call you right
away right after Jean leaves.
-I love you, too.
-I love you, too.
Hello? Hello, Doug?
Hello, Mommy.
[gasps]
[screams]
You need to be ahead
of the bagua, or you'll be next.
What we haven't done yet
is to have the bagua destroyed
by all its remaining owners
at the same time.
Why don't we do this?
Wait. Destroy it?
I'm interested in owning
the bagua.
If they don't want it,
then I'll take it.
You don't want the bagua,
right?
The bagua will either choose you
to be its new owner
or its next victim.
Ten years ago, you told me,
just refuse the good fortune
and the curse will be broken.
But it didn't happen.
Why should I believe you now?
You need to strengthen
your faith
that you can destroy the bagua.
Both of you and its new owner.
[engine humming]
[siren wailing]
Sir, we need to conduct
an autopsy first.
Please sign here, sir.
I saw the bagua with him.
Who are you?
Miss Ramirez.
I'm Hsui Liao.
You stole the bagua from me
at the temple.
Someone hired me to do it.
Had I known this would happen,
I wouldn't have gotten it.
You saw me destroying the bagua,
now it's whole again.
What evil does that bagua have?
How old are you?
I'm 32 years old.
Year of the Dog.
Then it's come full circle.
Out of the 12 animals
in the Chinese Horoscope,
no one has owned the bagua
under the Year of the Dog yet.
Until he got it.
We all know our birth signs
except yours, Mr. Liao.
Same as Joy's. Year of the Pig.
But I've never looked at myself
in the bagua's mirror.
What happens now that it
has completed all the animals?
Even the living owners of
the bagua will now be killed
to end the horoscope's cycle
and start with a new curse
of good luck and bad fortune.
Who was unfortunate enough
to die?
My father...
and Jack.
That's what I'm afraid of.
It now claims two souls
at a time.
Not only did she complete
the horoscope,
she took her blood relative
as well.
Fine. So now we could get
twice the luck too, right?
Where's the bagua?
In front of our house.
By the door.
Come on, let's check.
It was just here a while ago.
See? It senses
that you want to destroy it.
Now it's avoiding us.
It may have gone
to either of your houses.
One of our houses?
Mr. Liao, are we doing
the right thing?
Joy, when you first showed me
the bagua ten years ago,
I researched thoroughly
and found out
that the nine previous owners
all died suddenly.
You and Lily
are the only survivors.
That means
the curse has a weakness.
But Lester doesn't know that
he may be the one to end it all.
Popoy, I have a hard time
driving at night.
Come here quickly
or I'll fire you.
Stay here while I check
if the bagua is inside.
Tyro, stay.
Stay, okay?
Stay. Good boy, Tyro.
Good boy, stay.
Good boy, good boy.
-The bagua's not here.
-Let's go to Joy's house then.
Go ahead. I'll follow.
You can ride with me and Joy.
My driver's on his way.
He's aboard a cab already.
But we should all be together.
Just go ahead.
Let's go. She'll follow anyway.
[dog barking]
Stay, stay, stay.
Hello, Popoy.
I was just bluffing.
Just come in early tomorrow.
Yes. Sorry, I woke you up.
All right. Okay.
Long time no see.
It's not here.
What does that mean?
Is it back in our house?
What if I go back for it?
Wait, I'll check.
[cellphone chimes]
-Hello, Doug.
-Hello, Joy.
Good news. Dad's stable now.
Thank God.
Thank God indeed.
He opened his eyes already.
He even asked us how we were.
Are you toying with us?
You said it would be here.
Do you understand the bagua?
Doug, don't worry about it.
Thank you, Joy.
I always believed
that you're my lucky charm.
Anyway, I have a surprise
for you later.
What is it?
Mommy, I miss you.
Mommy, please talk to us.
Denton?
Ingrid?
Mommy?
Don't forget us, please.
That would never happen.
I love you so much.
[hurried footsteps]
-[gasps]
-[children chuckling]
Mommy, let's go.
Join us
so we'll be happy again.
Come upstairs, Mommy.
We're here.
We just want to hug you, please.
Let's go, Mommy.
[gasps]
[screaming]
Joy, what's wrong?
Let's go.
What happened?
I saw the old woman,
and my corpse.
I also saw myself dead.
Is this what you're saying,
that Lotus Feet will get us
together to kill us?
If you will allow her to.
But we now know
how to defeat her.
By having everyone destroy
the bagua at the same time--
How do we destroy it?
Where's the bagua?
We're running around in
circles, but couldn't find it!
Lester!
Lester, we need to protect
each other! Lily's on her way!
My life's in danger, Joy.
If you feel that time's still
on your side, well, I don't!
-Lester!
-Lester!
Lester!
[motorcycle starts]
Lester, listen to us!
Lester!
We need to follow him.
How about Lily?
Ma'am, what are we really
looking for?
Just look for anything shiny,
like a precious stone.
Is there anything
like that here, ma'am?
I can't be wrong,
luck is in my hands now.
-Go dig.
-Yes, ma'am.
[dog barking, snarling]
[tires screeching]
Sir.
Sir, sir,
I'll take you to the hospital.
Help me.
Take this away from here.
Burn the book.
Keep everything
that's in the bag.
Sir, what's this?
Don't ask.
If you don't take this,
many will die.
Sir.
If they find you here,
they'll kill you too!
Leave!
Go!
I said, go!
Where's the bag?
Dude, it's not here.
[gunshot]
Come on! Let's go!
Ma'am,
this is our second hole now,
but not a single coin--
We'll find something.
You know, back then,
it doesn't even take a minute
for me to dig something up.
Baby, please,
bring me good luck again.
[metal clanks]
Quick, help me.
Hurry up and help me.
Ma'am,
I think it's just metal...
What metal?
There.
Look at this.
It's gold.
Lily's not picking up.
We should find Lester first.
I also saw my two children
a while ago.
Is the bagua
holding them captive?
You know what? The bagua
is just playing tricks on you.
God knows I did everything
to protect them.
The pain will always
be there, you know that.
You know that. It's true.
But now, you need to be strong.
You're alive
because you fought back.
Don't give in.
You have enough reason
to be strong.
[cellphone chimes]
[shouting] I don't need
this kind of luck!
What do you need from me?
You already took everyone
who's important to me!
What more do you want?
Let's get this over
and done with!
Show yourself to me!
I'm not afraid of you!
Let's finish this!
[gasps]
Bad luck!
Here, ma'am. Gold.
Hurry, dig some more.
Here's more, ma'am.
Ma'am, it's really gold.
There's more.
[chuckling]
I wasn't able to refuse
the good fortune.
I wasn't able to do anything.
Can we still handle this?
I saw my father and Jack.
I also want this to end.
But we have to help each other.
We don't have the strength
to refuse good fortune.
She can read us.
All you remaining owners
of the bagua
must stay be together.
That's the only solution.
What about Lily?
What? Hurry.
Ma'am, there's someone.
Go.
Keep digging, hurry up!
Hurry!
Get everything you can manage
to bring.
Ma'am, wait.
Move faster.
Ma'am...
Come here!
Help me out here first!
Yes, ma'am.
Here, I think it's a candelabra,
or a golden rod.
Come on, this won't take long.
Ma'am, hurry!
They're getting closer.
Let's do this. I'll count.
One, two, three.
[electricity buzzing]
Bad luck.
Lily lied.
The bagua was with her.
That's why we couldn't find it.
[slow footfalls]
They're here.
[Joy shrieks]
[mumbling]
[gasps]
Mr. Liao!
Lester, let's take him
to the hospital!
No! Not the hospital!
The doctors will just poison me!
-Let's go!
-I have my own medicine!
I'll get my strength back!
[Mr. Liao coughing,
whimpering]
Mr. Liao.
What is that?
Crushed scorpion
mixed with a lizard's head.
The bagua is here.
Get it. We have to take it
to the temple.
-The temple?
-Yes.
The bagua's power
is getting stronger.
We can only destroy it
permanently
in a sacred place.
It's too high.
We can't reach it.
There's a chair inside. Get it.
I'll take care of him.
[gunshot]
[Joy gasps]
Lester!
Doug! What did you do?
-Joy.
-I thought it was an intruder.
Doug, why are you here?
Shouldn't you be
in the hospital?
How about you?
Where have you been?
You haven't been answering
my calls.
Papa got better.
My sister dropped me off here.
I was going to surprise you.
Jean.
Jean already signed
our annulment papers.
You need to refuse
that good fortune.
You need to refuse to that luck.
Wait. Who are these people?
Doug, when you got here earlier,
did you look at the bagua?
-Why?
-What year were you born?
What?
Year of the Rooster, 1969.
That is why
you're easily confused.
Joy, what insanity is this?
Doug, we're running out of time.
I'll just explain it later.
Please.
I need to get you treated.
No, sir, I'm okay.
-Joy, get the bagua, hurry!
-No, I'll get charged.
Doug, please...
Joy, I can't let anything
happen to this guy.
We need to take him
to the hospital, now.
-Sir, wait. I'm okay.
-Come on.
-Let go of him.
-Leave us alone!
You're rude. You don't know
how to respect elders.
The lives of these two
are in danger.
They'll die if you stop them
from doing
what needs to be done.
Doug, I'm begging you. Help us.
Don't look at the mirror.
Don't look.
Don't look.
Let's go.
The force is getting stronger.
Doug, you should drive for us.
Joy, just so you know,
I'm doing this for you,
not because I believe
in what this old man is saying.
I mean, seriously,
you actually believe all these?
The bagua
caused my family's death.
A Chinese charm? Get real, Joy.
Will you also be consulting
the bagua
if you should marry me
or not?
Doug, I can't marry you.
What?
[tires screeching]
[bystanders screaming]
You idiot! Eyes on the road!
-Doug, don't get out.
-Joy, just stay here.
Wait, I'm sorry.
It was an accident.
Let's take him
to the hospital.
What hospital?
What about my products?
-You gotta pay for these.
-You better pay up.
I'm sorry, sir.
It was an accident.
Joy, please, let me handle this.
-I don't think you want to pay!
-It was an accident.
Listen. If you don't pay
for my merchandise,
we'll wreck your car
and your face, you jerk!
Wait, wait. Stop doing that.
Lester, don't go out!
No, you stay here!
I already told you,
I didn't mean for it to happen.
It was an accident.
-I'm sorry.
-Wait a minute.
Hey, don't take that.
-We're sorry.
-I said don't take that.
Mr. Liao! Lester!
-Dont take that!
-Hey!
Back off, he has a gun.
Take a video of him!
-Back off!
-[gunshot]
-Back off! Back off!
-You think you're tough, huh?
-Don't move!
-Stop it.
Joy, we're running out of time.
Hurry and run.
What about Doug?
All of us will surely die
if you don't destroy the bagua.
Go to the temple now
It's not far from here.
Joy, come on!
Stop fighting!
Talk about it.
You'll sort things out.
You fool!
Joy, run!
I don't want to!
Get that one!
Joy, the bagua
needs to be destroyed.
[siren wailing]
Hey, stop it!
[dog barking]
[panting]
Joy!
Lester, I'm here!
[groans]
Lester, hurry up!
We need to destroy
the bagua together.
I guess it's now over.
Let's go, Joy.
[Joy exhales]
[gasps]
Lester.
Lester.
Lester, Lester.
[sobbing] I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
Lester, thank you.
[sniffles]
[sobbing]
Joy.
-[tires screeching]
-[glass shatters]
That goes in the living room.
Those go over there.
Oh, no.
Go get it, please.
The two of us should come.
Hurry.
Hey, what's that?
I think it's a toy.
Let's show Mommy.
Mommy!
Mommy!
It's finally over.
Have you told her already,
Auntie?
Thelma, what's this?
I don't want--
Just listen to your son.
Ingrid, come out here.
[gasps]
We were in the accident too,
Joy.
We are among those who died.
[shrieks]
[shrieking]
[soft piano music playing]
[soft piano music continues]
[rustling]
[soft piano music continues]
[screaming]
[sobbing] My dear! No!
[gasps]
-Please, don't.
-[door opens]
Mommy!
Mommy!
My child.
[clattering]
Mommy, hurry up!
Mommy, we need to leave now.
[whimpering]
Mommy, quick,
she's right behind us!
Betsy, don't!
Hurry!
Mommy!
[shrieking]
Hey, we need help here!
-Oh, my God!
-Help!
-Oh, my God, the poor woman!
-Help!
[siren wailing]
I'm sorry, ma'am, but no one's
allowed to go inside.
Ma'am, sir.
You can now get
your personal belongings.
Someone must have pushed her.
The 34-year-old woman fell
on the monkey bars.
She allegedly jumped
from the penthouse
of a condominium in Manila
this morning.
Her husband Ramon Babiano
also died.
The 40-year-old
real estate magnate
was found riddled with bullets.
Come in.
So it's you.
Weren't you a thief before?
What if you just steal it?
You can do that, right?
Why don't you just meet
with him?
Talk to him.
You understand each other
anyway.
You are a dog.
You're smart.
You follow carefully.
[indistinct chattering]
-Mr. Atong, a little help.
-No problem.
Let's go.
Moy. The usual.
There you go again, making me
lose money as always.
Come on, I share what I earn
with you whenever I can.
-But I guess you don't want it.
-Bro, bro, wait!
In a few hours,
it'll be my birthday.
I'm turning 23.
Moy, don't forget,
we're going out later, okay?
Are you sure I'll earn
from that deal too?
Of course.
You'll have more to spend
for your party.
Come back later at 1 a.m.,
okay?
I have a present for you.
Really? Sure.
Yes, ma'am.
Bless me, Mom.
Have you eaten?
Hang on.
What exactly are you doing?
Hey, hey, hey!
Don't mess with me!
-I can smell you from outside.
-That strengthens me!
Why did you throw it away?
Do you think it's easy to live
in a place like this?
At least your father
made a promise to get me
even a small house.
A house?
Where?
And where is he now?
In a desert in Kuwait?
He hasn't even sent us
a single letter.
It's been five years, Mom,
and you're still hoping?
We may have been hard up then,
but our house stood
on solid ground.
Here we go again.
No matter how much you drink,
your Robert
will never come back.
Lester!
Sorry, Mom.
I meant "Dad."
Your father will come back.
He'll surprise us.
Believe me, son.
[cellphone chimes]
[keys jangling]
Forgive me.
Just making a living.
What's this?
-[hooves clopping]
-[motorcycle humming]
[knocking on door]
Careful with that.
Take care of him.
Okay.
This isn't the full amount.
We'll pay the balance tomorrow,
after we open it.
Why can't she open it now?
The ritual isn't done yet.
It isn't safe to unwrap.
Let's go.
I said tomorrow.
Don't you mess with me!
I know where to find you!
[distant sirens wailing]
[electricity buzzing]
[motorcycle humming]
You guys are early.
Boss Paulo says you need
to return the motorbike.
Jack, I told you I'd pay
in full before Sunday.
I don't remember you
saying that.
Hey!
All of you, return that!
-That's not his.
-Jack.
-What?
-You're drunk.
Let's talk tomorrow.
Pay up
or I'll take your motorcycle!
You've got money, right?
-Jack!
-Give it to me.
How dare you? Give it to me!
You better split, Lester, Moy.
I'll take care of this. Go!
-Come on, bro.
-Get out of here!
Help me!
Reach for him, hurry!
What were you thinking?
You messed with the wrong guy.
Hurry up!
[clattering]
[dog barking]
[clattering]
[floorboard creaks]
[gasps]
Shameless bastards!
He's way past his due date.
-Lester.
-Let's go!
Lester, wake up! Quick!
They're taking your bike!
Get up now!
-I'll report you! That's wrong!
-Hey! Hey!
-You're insane!
-Boss!
-Come on, Lester.
-My bike.
It's been three months.
You know the rules.
Moy, hurry up!
Boss Lester needs you.
Hey! That's not right!
-You pigs!
-Moy! Moy!
-Moy! Hurry up!
-What's going on?
-They took Lester's bike!
-Moy, hurry up!
-You didn't keep your promise.
-Have pity on us.
-Don't take our things.
-Moy, hurry up.
-Please have pity on us.
-Bring those down.
-Boss Paulo.
-We're gonna pay.
-Boss, I'll get money later.
-Bring those down.
Here's my cellphone. I'll get
it back when I have the money.
Take everything you see inside.
-Okay.
-Please, not that.
-Boss Paulo will get mad.
-Here, boss.
-Give me my bike back.
-Did you steal that?
No. This is clean.
-Boss, I earned this money.
-Can you believe him?
-Get that.
-Go, go.
We'll pay day after tomorrow
I said no. Give me that.
-Come on, let's go.
-Here.
Boss. Hey, boss.
Will you shut up?
I've got the cash here.
Mom.
Can you come here?
What?
-Who put this here?
-What is that?
Why would I hang
something like that up?
We're not even Chinese.
-Hey, Endon?
-Yes?
Come here.
Did you hang that up there?
What is that, Auntie Ruby?
It's called a bagua.
It brings good fortune.
That's probably why
your luck's been good today.
What luck? That's not even ours.
I'm taking that back.
Mom, here's some spending money.
-I'm so lucky.
-Awesome.
Nice one, Auntie Ruby.
Now you can buy a bottle of gin.
Please, let me talk
to your boss. Wait a minute.
Boss, please, I beg you.
I have 1,500 here.
In two days,
I can give you 3,000, then--
-Never mind.
-Boss, take this.
Wait, I want the full amount.
I'm fed up with your promises.
I'll find a way.
Why can't you be like Lester?
He's resourceful.
-We're done.
-Please, wait. I'm begging you.
You're one big show-off,
aren't you?
-You think you can get past me?
-Help!
[motorcycle revs]
Hey, get back here!
You jerk, hey!
You're dead meat! Moron!
[drum beats]
-I want to start a business.
-How may I help you?
Miss.
[indistinct chatter]
[car horn honks]
Hello, boss? I'm on my way.
I got all the things you need.
Okay, sir.
Do you need anything else, sir?
Okay, sir.
[ATM rumbles]
This bracelet complements
the Year of the Snake.
Like this one,
it's made of crystals,
to protect you
against envious people.
This one brings happiness
or harmony.
Then this one is for business,
stability and prosperity.
Then this one is for love
and protection.
What do you think will she like,
sir?
This one.
[oriental music playing]
[oriental music continues]
[oriental music fades]
Please, come in.
I have something for good luck.
Mr. Atong, please help me out.
Les. Les.
You missed the commotion.
Boss Paulo was rushed
to the hospital.
He's in critical condition.
What happened?
Ben pushed Boss Pao really hard
and Boss Paulo's head
hit the corner of the food cart
and his skull cracked.
He was bleeding.
Then Jack furiously attacked.
Good thing the police arrived.
They were so mad.
It should be four...
That's mine.
My dad gave that to me.
What are you talking about?
This is mine.
-I'll tell my dad on you.
-I don't care.
Hey, wait for me.
Bro, you know you irritate Jack.
This will really piss him off.
Lester...
Lester.
Son?
Dad.
I'd like to ask
for your forgiveness.
Can you still accept me?
I know it's been five years,
but I've never forgotten you,
my son.
I waited for this moment
to fulfill my promise.
But what took you so long, Dad?
You're right.
I have a lot to explain to you,
son.
But there's a time for that.
For now, pack your things.
We're moving.
-What?
-Yes, you're leaving this place.
I told you.
Your dad never forgot us.
Hey, put it over there.
Yes, sir.
Hey, be careful.
You might scratch it.
This is for you.
-I found it in Ongpin.
-No way.
Really.
Do you think I'd mess with you?
Be wary of that phone's owner.
They keep texting.
Says they're gonna offer
a reward.
How much?
-Ten thousand.
-That's a lot.
Did you reply?
No. I don't want
to complicate things.
Just sell it for easy money.
All right.
-Take care, Lester.
-Take care.
Okay, Endon. Nelia.
I'll come visit soon.
Lester, take it easy.
Will do, Endon.
-Take care of our house.
-Will do.
I'll watch over it.
See you.
-You came.
-Of course.
Do you think I'd forget
about you?
Someone advised me
to move houses tonight
because of the full moon.
They say it's lucky.
Mr. Co here. Return the bagua.
I'll give you 10K.
I brought rice, sugar
and salt in the house
for good luck.
Who told you to do that,
Dad?
The real estate agent.
Even these trinkets...
Please text back.
I'll make it 15K.
She advised I get some.
Elephants and rabbits?
Yes. She said I was born
in the Year of the Rabbit.
Please return the bagua.
Please text back.
And that elephants
prevent accidents.
So you're a rabbit, huh?
I wonder what animal
my birth year represents.
Horse!
-Red Horse!
-You nut case!
Red Horse.
You were born
in the Year of the Rat, Ruby.
Rat?
Yes.
-Are you kidding me?
-You're a rat.
I don't like that. They stink.
But it's true.
Rats are really part
of the Chinese Horoscope.
Lester, this is it.
This is our new home.
Wow! It's so beautiful.
Have you settled
the paperwork for this?
The agent will bring them
tomorrow.
-That's why I apologize.
-It's beautiful.
-I didn't bring home gifts.
-My goodness.
I spent all my savings
from Kuwait on this.
No wonder the house
is almost complete, Dad.
Gorgeous!
I have more good news.
-I got a promotion.
-Really?
We need to celebrate.
Your dad's so lucky.
This isn't ordinary wine.
It's a special brand. Imported.
-There you go.
-This is too much, Robert.
-Let's have a toast first.
-Okay.
To being together once again.
-To being together once again.
-[glasses clink]
It's very strong.
It's good.
Thanks for the good fortune
you brought us.
[slow footfalls]
[cellphone chiming]
Hello, Ellen?
Hello, Lester.
Thanks for your gift.
I'm already wearing it.
I'm thirsty.
Still thirsty?
I can do one more round.
Year of the Snake.
It will bring you luck,
but not me.
I don't think so.
But I still feel lucky
because you called.
It's okay, Les.
Ellen...
I'm sorry.
No, I'm really thirsty.
Okay.
I'll get you something to drink.
No, I'll do it. Stay here.
Did you miss me?
Of course.
You ignored me for three months.
-You're earning well now.
-I'll be right back.
You gave me an expensive gift.
I sell antiques now.
I'll send you a picture of it,
then I'll send the item to you.
Where is it?
There you go.
Just one shot.
So good.
One more shot.
I was offered 20,000 for this,
but I'm not sure
if I'll take it.
Lester?
-Hello? Ellen?
-Hello.
-The line's getting choppy.
-Hello?
[gasps]
Lester, it's your mom! Hurry!
Ruby?
Ruby!
Ruby!
-What are you doing?
-[Ruby gurgling]
I'm already here.
Lester, what happened
to your mom when I was away?
Mom?
Ruby!
Ruby!
Lester, help me!
Lester!
Mom! Mom!
Mom!
Open the door.
Open the door!
The car keys are upstairs,
-by the door!
-Where?
Lester!
Lester!
Ruby! Ruby! Ruby!
-Mom! Mom!
-Ruby!
Mom! Mom!
-Mom!
-Ruby!
Mom! Mom! Mom!
Mom!
[siren wailing]
Dad, here are Mom's
best clothes.
Lester,
I can't afford a decent casket.
I don't want to make
another cash advance.
I hope you've saved some.
I'll see what I can do.
I'll meet you there.
Okay, son.
[engine starts]
Lester. Come in.
That's 30,000 pesos.
She's been through a lot.
She gave everything
to help other people.
In the end,
what did she get?
Suffering and death.
Tell him
to take us with him.
She needs me.
I think this is the only way
for me to get the bagua back.
Take us there.
This is the only way
she can reclaim the bagua.
Pay me double then.
Don't you follow me.
And don't look at the bagua.
What is she doing?
She's calling on the spirits.
Our new house has spirits?
The bagua, wherever it is,
brings with it all the souls
trapped inside of it.
Aunt Mei Lian,
I'm bringing you home.
I'll take you back
to your ancestors.
Your siblings await you.
-I'm waiting for you so--
-[door creaks open]
Don't bother her.
Leave her alone.
Mom?
-No, Lester!
-Mom.
That's not them anymore!
-They're just illusions.
-Mom!
-You can't talk to them.
-Mom!
[shrieking]
Auntie? Auntie!
What happened to her?
I don't know, But I need
to take her to the hospital.
Help me. Open the door.
Wait.
You're leaving me here?
Did we break the curse?
Looks like Auntie
couldn't handle it.
Wait, what about me?
I don't know.
Just don't bother us!
-[car door slams]
-[engine starts]
[gasps]
[screaming]
Sir. Sir, are you okay?
Sir. Sir.
Have a seat, sir.
Do you want us to call the cops?
No. I'm all right.
Are you the real estate agent?
No, sir.
Akari Delivery, for Anonuevo.
Are you Mr. Anonuevo?
What time is it?
It's past 9:00.
Sir?
My dad's not here yet.
Can you please bring them in?
-[line ringing]
-[car horn honks]
[cellphone chiming]
Lester, what happened to you?
Sorry, Dad. Something happened
last night.
But don't worry, I'm fine.
Where are you?
I'm at home.
By the way, you have a delivery.
Should I be the one to sign it?
-Get the other one.
-Go ahead.
-Be careful.
-Receive the item.
I'll take care
of your mother's wake.
Don't worry about her wake
and funeral.
I'll handle the arrangements.
Thank God
I don't need to borrow money.
I'm almost there.
That's a lot of rabbits.
Were you born
in the Year of the Rabbit, too?
We're the same, sir.
Good morning.
Is Mr. Anonuevo there?
Miss, wait, don't worry,
I live here.
I'm the homeowner's son.
What's wrong?
Just have your father sign
these papers,
then have him send them
to the office.
Miss, he's on his way here.
When are you coming back?
Miss, I live here.
Don't be scared.
I really need to go.
Have your father sign those
and bring them to our office.
I really need to go.
Ms. Ramirez.
Sir, just sign these papers and
send them back to our office.
Refuse the good fortune
while there's still time.
[engine starts]
That's the real estate agent
I was talking to you about.
She's a happy person,
I wonder what's wrong with her.
I see you hung your antique
bagua already. It's nice.
[indistinct chattering]
-Mommy, I love you.
-Where's your dad?
Mommy, buy me a bike, please.
The sales report of your group
tells us you've reached
your quota.
And perhaps,
even your personal best.
This is good news, Joy.
You're back at being number one.
Even I can't believe it.
Eighty percent
of your reservations
have turned into actual sales.
The company is very happy
with your performances.
Even with your medium range
packages. Congratulations.
In the meantime,
your wish to go to Boracay,
we decided to grant it.
You know, it's just stress.
Be kind to yourself.
These are our security lights
equipped with a sensor.
It lights up
when there is motion
and when someone passes by.
We'll get a double
and a single light.
Okay, sir.
Joy.
I already talked
to the electrician.
Told him to install the sensors
at your place tonight.
You're lucky the maid screamed
when she saw the robber.
She became hysterical.
Joy, I really think
it would be wise
to keep a gun in the house.
You know how traumatized I am
with guns,
especially when I saw Inton
being shot in front of me.
No.
Times are different now.
Recently,
I heard about a couple,
they were bound and stabbed
by an intruder.
I'd feel better
knowing you have something
to defend yourself with.
And besides, what's the use
of me being head of security
if I can't even teach you
to protect yourself?
Joy, you mean so much to me.
And you mean the world to me.
Have you told your kids about
our Boracay trip this weekend?
Yup, Jean already agreed
to have them stay with her.
So we have the whole weekend
to ourselves.
-Did you wait long?
-Yes, sir.
Sorry,
we went to the supermarket.
It's okay.
Inday?
-Let me help you.
-Inday!
-Inday, bring these inside.
-Yes, ma'am.
Auntie Joy,
did you buy your favorite food?
Of course.
-Inday, please cook this.
-Sure, ma'am.
Come, Mio, join your Uncle Doug
and I for dinner.
I don't get your dad.
You're too young
to be left alone at home.
I'm not a kid anymore.
I'm 9 years old already.
Hey, don't lie to me.
You're only 6 years old.
No, I'm not.
Really?
Show me your birth certificate.
This one's more important.
Joy.
I've been wanting
to give this to you.
You thought it's gonna be
just a long weekend?
Of course I remember.
Happy second anniversary.
I'll be annulled soon.
By then, I can marry you.
Mio, it's not a toy.
Don't play with that.
But it's so cool. Magic.
[singing a hymn]
[continues singing hymn]
[continues singing hymn]
[continues singing hymn]
[singing fades]
Les, condolence.
Thank you for coming
to Mom's wake.
I was shocked by the news.
How are you?
Les, you'll be fine.
I've known you long enough
to know you can handle this.
Ellen...
I need you.
Let's talk about that
some other time.
A little help from Daddy and I.
[Lester sniffles]
He's waiting for me in the car.
Thank you.
[crickets chirping]
[engine starts]
[indistinct chattering]
Lester.
-Les.
-Our sympathies.
Miss Nelia.
Condolence.
-Condolence.
-Thank you.
Lester, do you know
that Paulo has died?
Now, it's your mom.
Everyone's terrified
by the deaths.
-Boss Paulo?
-Yes.
Just last night.
He died in his sleep.
So Jack thinks
he's the king now.
It's good you left
our place already.
He still calls your name
when he's drunk.
Why aren't Endon and Moy
with you?
They're together.
They just attended to something,
but will be here soon.
Where's the ATM card?
That's the only thing we got.
Forty thousand was withdrawn.
I have nothing to do
with that.
What about the reward?
-Tell her.
-Miss, what about the reward?
[scoffs]
How old are you?
Sixteen.
Already a criminal at that age?
I'm not...
You wiped out the cash
in that ATM card
and you still want a reward?
But that's really all we got,
sir.
Endon.
Run.
Think you're so tough, huh?
[gasps]
[lock clicks]
[gasps]
Bad luck.
[breathing heavily]
[car horn honks]
It has found you.
What do you mean?
A serious problem
brought you here.
I want you to meet someone.
You two have the same problem.
Come in.
[footfalls]
Joy and Lily,
you two are here
because of the bagua.
The bagua hasn't been with me
for some time now.
Why is there still a connection?
What else does it need?
Mr. Liao, about three days ago,
I saw the woman
with the Lotus Feet.
That's all I want to know.
What does it mean?
I can't answer that, Miss Lily.
Is she making her presence felt
because she wants to come back?
All I know is Mei Lien's niece
arrived from China,
to get the bagua
and bring it back
to their homeland
to let it lie beside
the remains of their clan.
But it looks like
she didn't succeed.
How do you know that?
He is Leonard.
He was with Mei Lien's niece.
He saw everything.
They planned to take the bagua
back to China,
but what happened was horrible.
Her soul was taken by Mei Lien.
With Mei Shu Lien's death,
the bagua's curse might worsen.
How?
She took her niece's soul
into the bagua.
Now there's two of them,
and because of that
it's possible the bagua
would take two lives
at a time.
Mei Lien saw how the people
in the temple
were brutally killed
by the People's Army.
[clamoring]
When she was found alone,
they immediately abducted her,
and showed her to the people
to let them know
that their age-old ideology
has come to an end,
and that Socialism
has taken over.
As she held on to the bagua,
that was then covered with gold,
she saw the people
her family helped
staring at her, doing nothing.
Hatred then started growing
inside of her for everyone,
especially for her family
who abandoned her.
And her curse spoke
of bad luck.
I was never unlucky.
I never experienced bad luck.
Other people did, but not me.
What is your buyer's name?
Robert Anonuevo.
Anonuevo?
He's my employee.
My company in Kuwait
hired him five years ago.
He was recently promoted.
It's clear. The bagua
is drawing all owners together,
including the bagua's thief,
as part
of Lotus Feet's intricate plan
that would lead all
to her desired ending,
the meeting
of all living owners
of the bagua.
[sobbing]
In the name of the Father,
and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
The grace upon
our Lord Jesus Christ
and the love of God,
and the communion
of the Holy Spirit...
-Hello, Joy? Joy?
-Hello, Doug.
I'm at the airport.
Where are you?
Joy, there's a problem.
Dad had a heart attack.
I'm sorry, Joy.
This is really unexpected.
Dad seemed healthy, then...
He had an attack
just a while ago?
Yes. Thirty minutes ago.
Sorry, I wasn't able
to call right away.
I had to contact
my sister first
and my cousin
who's a cardiologist.
What hospital are you in?
I'm going there right now.
Come visit us some time.
You haven't seen your godchild
for a long time.
-Okay. Sure.
-I'll be expecting you.
Robert, we already have
a reservation
at Dragon Orchids Restaurant.
Let's see each other there,
okay?
Sure. See you there.
[keys jangling]
[Robert sighs]
Now that your mom's gone,
I'm going to sell the house.
I'll give you a portion
of the money.
But... I need to start
a new life.
You're already of age, Lester.
Start planning your own life.
Don't worry.
I'll manage.
I was the one who supported Mom
...not you.
I'll take it from here.
I won't go with you anymore.
I can go home by myself.
This is my house.
No one comes in here
without my permission.
Lester, why are you here?
Come with me.
You're so stubborn.
Didn't I tell you
not to come here?
Jack's still on the lookout
for you.
What happened to them?
They were found dead
in a slaughterhouse.
Lester, I'm serious.
Rumor has it
that Jack wants you killed.
Get out of here.
I'm going to talk
to Aling Nelia.
Don't.
She blames you. She says
you're the bearer of misfortune.
First, Paulo dies.
Then, your mom.
Now, this...
Everyone's now avoiding
this place
for fear they might land
the same fate.
Ma'am, your bathtub's ready.
Okay.
[exhales]
[sighs]
[gasps]
[indistinct chattering]
What do you want?
I won't cause trouble.
I just need some answers.
Auntie only told me one thing.
Never look myself in its mirror.
That's what you failed to do.
Why did they die...
and not me?
Auntie said that the first one
who peers into its mirror
will be the recipient
of good fortune.
Everyone who looks into it
next will die
as payment
for the luck you received.
Try to remember
who else saw themselves
in the mirror.
They're lives
are surely in danger.
[engine humming]
-Okay, man, see you on Sunday.
-Okay.
-Let's keep in touch.
-Thanks, man.
-We'll fetch you on Sunday.
-Sure thing.
-Be safe.
-You, too.
[phone ringing]
[phone continues ringing]
Lester?
Lester!
Lester?
Lester, is that you?
[slow footfalls]
Jack!
Jack!
Jack!
[Robert grunts, groans]
[clattering]
That's impossible.
You weren't the one I saw.
Actually, I'm about to go there.
I'm just unpacking my things.
It's not a good time, Joy.
Jean is here with the kids.
Mommy called them.
All of my siblings
are here, too.
Things are complicated
right now.
Joy?
You don't have to explain to me.
I understand what your family's
going through.
I love you, Joy.
I promise, I'll call you right
away right after Jean leaves.
-I love you, too.
-I love you, too.
Hello? Hello, Doug?
Hello, Mommy.
[gasps]
[screams]
You need to be ahead
of the bagua, or you'll be next.
What we haven't done yet
is to have the bagua destroyed
by all its remaining owners
at the same time.
Why don't we do this?
Wait. Destroy it?
I'm interested in owning
the bagua.
If they don't want it,
then I'll take it.
You don't want the bagua,
right?
The bagua will either choose you
to be its new owner
or its next victim.
Ten years ago, you told me,
just refuse the good fortune
and the curse will be broken.
But it didn't happen.
Why should I believe you now?
You need to strengthen
your faith
that you can destroy the bagua.
Both of you and its new owner.
[engine humming]
[siren wailing]
Sir, we need to conduct
an autopsy first.
Please sign here, sir.
I saw the bagua with him.
Who are you?
Miss Ramirez.
I'm Hsui Liao.
You stole the bagua from me
at the temple.
Someone hired me to do it.
Had I known this would happen,
I wouldn't have gotten it.
You saw me destroying the bagua,
now it's whole again.
What evil does that bagua have?
How old are you?
I'm 32 years old.
Year of the Dog.
Then it's come full circle.
Out of the 12 animals
in the Chinese Horoscope,
no one has owned the bagua
under the Year of the Dog yet.
Until he got it.
We all know our birth signs
except yours, Mr. Liao.
Same as Joy's. Year of the Pig.
But I've never looked at myself
in the bagua's mirror.
What happens now that it
has completed all the animals?
Even the living owners of
the bagua will now be killed
to end the horoscope's cycle
and start with a new curse
of good luck and bad fortune.
Who was unfortunate enough
to die?
My father...
and Jack.
That's what I'm afraid of.
It now claims two souls
at a time.
Not only did she complete
the horoscope,
she took her blood relative
as well.
Fine. So now we could get
twice the luck too, right?
Where's the bagua?
In front of our house.
By the door.
Come on, let's check.
It was just here a while ago.
See? It senses
that you want to destroy it.
Now it's avoiding us.
It may have gone
to either of your houses.
One of our houses?
Mr. Liao, are we doing
the right thing?
Joy, when you first showed me
the bagua ten years ago,
I researched thoroughly
and found out
that the nine previous owners
all died suddenly.
You and Lily
are the only survivors.
That means
the curse has a weakness.
But Lester doesn't know that
he may be the one to end it all.
Popoy, I have a hard time
driving at night.
Come here quickly
or I'll fire you.
Stay here while I check
if the bagua is inside.
Tyro, stay.
Stay, okay?
Stay. Good boy, Tyro.
Good boy, stay.
Good boy, good boy.
-The bagua's not here.
-Let's go to Joy's house then.
Go ahead. I'll follow.
You can ride with me and Joy.
My driver's on his way.
He's aboard a cab already.
But we should all be together.
Just go ahead.
Let's go. She'll follow anyway.
[dog barking]
Stay, stay, stay.
Hello, Popoy.
I was just bluffing.
Just come in early tomorrow.
Yes. Sorry, I woke you up.
All right. Okay.
Long time no see.
It's not here.
What does that mean?
Is it back in our house?
What if I go back for it?
Wait, I'll check.
[cellphone chimes]
-Hello, Doug.
-Hello, Joy.
Good news. Dad's stable now.
Thank God.
Thank God indeed.
He opened his eyes already.
He even asked us how we were.
Are you toying with us?
You said it would be here.
Do you understand the bagua?
Doug, don't worry about it.
Thank you, Joy.
I always believed
that you're my lucky charm.
Anyway, I have a surprise
for you later.
What is it?
Mommy, I miss you.
Mommy, please talk to us.
Denton?
Ingrid?
Mommy?
Don't forget us, please.
That would never happen.
I love you so much.
[hurried footsteps]
-[gasps]
-[children chuckling]
Mommy, let's go.
Join us
so we'll be happy again.
Come upstairs, Mommy.
We're here.
We just want to hug you, please.
Let's go, Mommy.
[gasps]
[screaming]
Joy, what's wrong?
Let's go.
What happened?
I saw the old woman,
and my corpse.
I also saw myself dead.
Is this what you're saying,
that Lotus Feet will get us
together to kill us?
If you will allow her to.
But we now know
how to defeat her.
By having everyone destroy
the bagua at the same time--
How do we destroy it?
Where's the bagua?
We're running around in
circles, but couldn't find it!
Lester!
Lester, we need to protect
each other! Lily's on her way!
My life's in danger, Joy.
If you feel that time's still
on your side, well, I don't!
-Lester!
-Lester!
Lester!
[motorcycle starts]
Lester, listen to us!
Lester!
We need to follow him.
How about Lily?
Ma'am, what are we really
looking for?
Just look for anything shiny,
like a precious stone.
Is there anything
like that here, ma'am?
I can't be wrong,
luck is in my hands now.
-Go dig.
-Yes, ma'am.
[dog barking, snarling]
[tires screeching]
Sir.
Sir, sir,
I'll take you to the hospital.
Help me.
Take this away from here.
Burn the book.
Keep everything
that's in the bag.
Sir, what's this?
Don't ask.
If you don't take this,
many will die.
Sir.
If they find you here,
they'll kill you too!
Leave!
Go!
I said, go!
Where's the bag?
Dude, it's not here.
[gunshot]
Come on! Let's go!
Ma'am,
this is our second hole now,
but not a single coin--
We'll find something.
You know, back then,
it doesn't even take a minute
for me to dig something up.
Baby, please,
bring me good luck again.
[metal clanks]
Quick, help me.
Hurry up and help me.
Ma'am,
I think it's just metal...
What metal?
There.
Look at this.
It's gold.
Lily's not picking up.
We should find Lester first.
I also saw my two children
a while ago.
Is the bagua
holding them captive?
You know what? The bagua
is just playing tricks on you.
God knows I did everything
to protect them.
The pain will always
be there, you know that.
You know that. It's true.
But now, you need to be strong.
You're alive
because you fought back.
Don't give in.
You have enough reason
to be strong.
[cellphone chimes]
[shouting] I don't need
this kind of luck!
What do you need from me?
You already took everyone
who's important to me!
What more do you want?
Let's get this over
and done with!
Show yourself to me!
I'm not afraid of you!
Let's finish this!
[gasps]
Bad luck!
Here, ma'am. Gold.
Hurry, dig some more.
Here's more, ma'am.
Ma'am, it's really gold.
There's more.
[chuckling]
I wasn't able to refuse
the good fortune.
I wasn't able to do anything.
Can we still handle this?
I saw my father and Jack.
I also want this to end.
But we have to help each other.
We don't have the strength
to refuse good fortune.
She can read us.
All you remaining owners
of the bagua
must stay be together.
That's the only solution.
What about Lily?
What? Hurry.
Ma'am, there's someone.
Go.
Keep digging, hurry up!
Hurry!
Get everything you can manage
to bring.
Ma'am, wait.
Move faster.
Ma'am...
Come here!
Help me out here first!
Yes, ma'am.
Here, I think it's a candelabra,
or a golden rod.
Come on, this won't take long.
Ma'am, hurry!
They're getting closer.
Let's do this. I'll count.
One, two, three.
[electricity buzzing]
Bad luck.
Lily lied.
The bagua was with her.
That's why we couldn't find it.
[slow footfalls]
They're here.
[Joy shrieks]
[mumbling]
[gasps]
Mr. Liao!
Lester, let's take him
to the hospital!
No! Not the hospital!
The doctors will just poison me!
-Let's go!
-I have my own medicine!
I'll get my strength back!
[Mr. Liao coughing,
whimpering]
Mr. Liao.
What is that?
Crushed scorpion
mixed with a lizard's head.
The bagua is here.
Get it. We have to take it
to the temple.
-The temple?
-Yes.
The bagua's power
is getting stronger.
We can only destroy it
permanently
in a sacred place.
It's too high.
We can't reach it.
There's a chair inside. Get it.
I'll take care of him.
[gunshot]
[Joy gasps]
Lester!
Doug! What did you do?
-Joy.
-I thought it was an intruder.
Doug, why are you here?
Shouldn't you be
in the hospital?
How about you?
Where have you been?
You haven't been answering
my calls.
Papa got better.
My sister dropped me off here.
I was going to surprise you.
Jean.
Jean already signed
our annulment papers.
You need to refuse
that good fortune.
You need to refuse to that luck.
Wait. Who are these people?
Doug, when you got here earlier,
did you look at the bagua?
-Why?
-What year were you born?
What?
Year of the Rooster, 1969.
That is why
you're easily confused.
Joy, what insanity is this?
Doug, we're running out of time.
I'll just explain it later.
Please.
I need to get you treated.
No, sir, I'm okay.
-Joy, get the bagua, hurry!
-No, I'll get charged.
Doug, please...
Joy, I can't let anything
happen to this guy.
We need to take him
to the hospital, now.
-Sir, wait. I'm okay.
-Come on.
-Let go of him.
-Leave us alone!
You're rude. You don't know
how to respect elders.
The lives of these two
are in danger.
They'll die if you stop them
from doing
what needs to be done.
Doug, I'm begging you. Help us.
Don't look at the mirror.
Don't look.
Don't look.
Let's go.
The force is getting stronger.
Doug, you should drive for us.
Joy, just so you know,
I'm doing this for you,
not because I believe
in what this old man is saying.
I mean, seriously,
you actually believe all these?
The bagua
caused my family's death.
A Chinese charm? Get real, Joy.
Will you also be consulting
the bagua
if you should marry me
or not?
Doug, I can't marry you.
What?
[tires screeching]
[bystanders screaming]
You idiot! Eyes on the road!
-Doug, don't get out.
-Joy, just stay here.
Wait, I'm sorry.
It was an accident.
Let's take him
to the hospital.
What hospital?
What about my products?
-You gotta pay for these.
-You better pay up.
I'm sorry, sir.
It was an accident.
Joy, please, let me handle this.
-I don't think you want to pay!
-It was an accident.
Listen. If you don't pay
for my merchandise,
we'll wreck your car
and your face, you jerk!
Wait, wait. Stop doing that.
Lester, don't go out!
No, you stay here!
I already told you,
I didn't mean for it to happen.
It was an accident.
-I'm sorry.
-Wait a minute.
Hey, don't take that.
-We're sorry.
-I said don't take that.
Mr. Liao! Lester!
-Dont take that!
-Hey!
Back off, he has a gun.
Take a video of him!
-Back off!
-[gunshot]
-Back off! Back off!
-You think you're tough, huh?
-Don't move!
-Stop it.
Joy, we're running out of time.
Hurry and run.
What about Doug?
All of us will surely die
if you don't destroy the bagua.
Go to the temple now
It's not far from here.
Joy, come on!
Stop fighting!
Talk about it.
You'll sort things out.
You fool!
Joy, run!
I don't want to!
Get that one!
Joy, the bagua
needs to be destroyed.
[siren wailing]
Hey, stop it!
[dog barking]
[panting]
Joy!
Lester, I'm here!
[groans]
Lester, hurry up!
We need to destroy
the bagua together.
I guess it's now over.
Let's go, Joy.
[Joy exhales]
[gasps]
Lester.
Lester.
Lester, Lester.
[sobbing] I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
Lester, thank you.
[sniffles]
[sobbing]
Joy.
