Folklore (2018) s02e04 Episode Script

1
I got to the crime scene before Camacho.
On my way, I heard a gunshot
from behind the house.
When I got there
I saw the man on the ground.
And Panganiban's sister, beat up.
I saw Panganiban place the gun
in the victim's hand.
Panganiban, what can you say about all this?
I already put it in my report, sir.
What are you doing?
Get back to work.
Can't we just
take care of this internally?
We all know Zeny's brother-in-law
is a monster.
But it's not right, sir.
My conscience can't bear to overlook this.
I'm sorry but there's nothing I can do.
Take care of yourself.
What happened?
They're moving the case up to Internal Affairs.
Ma'am
Zeny's family is counting on her.
If she has the guts to break the law
she'd better be ready to lose her job.
What?
I didn't say anything.
Do you think I like ratting her out, Jong?
I couldn't sleep for days because of that.
You want me to just keep quiet?
Just do what you think is right.
She should've just asked for our help.
There are legal ways to deal with that.
It didn't have to end this way.
Eugene, you left your shoes outside again.
Eugene!
Where have you been?
What's taking you so long?
What's going on, Eunice?
I'm running late because of Eugene!
Eugene!
Eugene, what time did you get home?
When I texted you
you said you were on the way home.
What time did he get in?
No idea. He was here when I woke up.
-Eugene! -I'm done.
Such a drag.
Where were you last night?
I was at Vincent's.
What's with the attitude?
Hey, we're not done yet.
-What? -What's that?
It's nothing.
Were you in a fight?
It's nothing.
Did your scoundrel friends
get you into trouble again?
Eugene.
You're old enough.
You're free to decide
who you want to be friends with.
But please
don't do anything that you might regret.
Michelle's inviting us tomorrow.
Are you coming?
She wants you to meet her friend.
I can't. I have an exam tomorrow.
You don't need to take exams.
You'll fail anyway.
Dumbass. My mum's about to get me jailed.
I'll bring some good stuff from my stash.
You're gonna like it.
I have to go to class.
Eugene, wake up.
Get up.
Traffic is bad.
There's a fallen lamp post
near the intersection.
Hey.
What's up with your muddy shoes?
You need to take care of these.
Eugene.
Eugene.
Eugene.
Are you feeling sick?
I'll make you some soup.
It's alright.
A drunkard got run over by a truck.
The usual stuff.
Anything to eat, Mum?
Have some soup.
Soup? Who's sick?
Your brother.
He probably just wants to skip school.
He's running a high fever.
Go check on him. See if he's up.
By the way, Panganiban got suspended.
Now everyone's talking about you.
What are they saying? That I'm a rat?
As you expected.
Whatever, I don't care.
You know how these guys are.
Mum! Mum, come here quick!
What is it?
It wasn't like that earlier this morning.
Ma'am, it's impossible for the stomach
to suddenly bloat like that.
Could it be liver cirrhosis?
His dad went through dialysis before.
Dr Chua was his physician.
Jean, is Dr Chua still here?
He just left.
Perhaps, we could call him?
Ma'am, here's what we'll do.
We'll admit your son here
so we can perform the necessary tests.
And tomorrow, Dr Chua will check on him
and talk to you.
Mum?
Mum?
Mum?
Mum?
Mum?
No!
No!
Eugene!
What's wrong?
Please help him!
Please move aside, ma'am.
What's happening to him?
What's happening to him?
How are you feeling?
Eugene? Why are you staring at me like that?
Stop it.
Eugene.
Eugene?
Eugene?
Mum?
I'm here.
Where are we?
We're in the hospital.
Why were you glaring at me earlier?
I just woke up.
I was dreaming.
I was falling.
I couldn't do anything.
It was so dark.
Everything was dark.
It was so deep.
It was endless.
I just want this to end, Mum.
Let it end.
You're still young, Eugene.
You can beat this.
Keep fighting, okay?
Edsel showed symptoms back then.
But this is too soon to be stage four.
We don't know that yet.
Did you see Eugene's stomach?
That's how bloated Edsel's stomach was
when he died.
You know, even if your son drinks
the illness couldn't have progressed this fast.
This is all my fault.
I hardly spend time at home.
And when I am home, all I do is scold him.
Don't blame yourself.
You're doing everything you can as a mother.
Lourdes.
Just relax.
Lourdes.
You're here.
What happened?
Look, the other one's longer.
This isn't natural.
Someone's doing this to him.
Stop that.
You shouldn't have brought him here.
This might only get worse.
He needs a faith healer.
Like the one we went to when we were young?
The one who made me drink random potions?
He turned out to be a quack.
I know, he was a fake.
But I know someone who's really good.
Sister, that's not real.
You're the one who said
this happened too quickly.
Maybe someone's envious or toying with him.
You know that can happen for no reason.
I think we should give it a shot.
Don't tell me you believe in that?
Let's do everything possible.
There's no harm in trying.
Number 36.
We're wasting so much time in this queue.
What if this one doesn't accept us either?
Number 98, come on up!
That's us.
In the name of Mother Mameng!
Straight ahead.
That one's mine.
Sit here.
What is your illness?
It's not me, it's my son.
What's his name? Do you have a picture?
Eugene Magpayo.
His illness isn't natural.
Someone has a grudge against your son.
He's being punished.
What did you tell her?
We were together all day.
Where is the patient?
In the hospital.
Stop getting treatment. Or he'll die.
How can we stop this?
I will talk to whoever's doing this.
I'll use your body as a vessel.
Are you ready?
I am.
Close your eyes, dear.
How many healers have you been to?
Two.
We went to Ka Emil but we weren't accepted.
And there's another one in Zone 2.
Mother, just say the word.
Bring me my medallion.
Dolfo, bring it to me.
Don't fight it.
Close your eyes.
Who are you? Tell me your name.
Answer me.
Answer me.
You won't talk?
Tell me, are you human?
What did you do to the boy?
You can't escape me.
Do not test me!
You want to suffer?
Take this!
Stop!
Are you going to talk now?
Stay out of this if you don't want to die!
Break it off or I'll hurt you.
Stop! You're hurting me!
Hold on!
Lourdes, what's happening?
Lourdes?
You don't remember anything?
My throat hurts.
What happened?
Your son is up against something powerful.
Is it a man or an elemental?
An old male. I think it's human.
Dolfo, give them some protection.
Take this home.
Put that on your son.
Then bring him here right away.
I need to see him.
Mother, if it's too strong for you
they'll understand.
I have my guide. I'm not backing down.
Stop!
Are you still skeptical?
Stop! You're hurting me!
I'm sorry. I know this isn't easy.
Eugene's case is worse.
It's an aggressive type of liver cancer.
It has metastasised very quickly.
Like Edsel's case, we can only focus on
pain management at this point.
Clear that away.
Okay, Mum.
Over here.
If you need anything, let us know.
Just text us.
I'll send someone else if I'm not free.
Alright, thank you.
Lift the curse or else!
Eugene?
Eugene.
She's asking about you.
She wants to visit but she's worried
you might ignore her again.
Maybe some other time.
I want to make sure I look good.
Take care of that belly first.
I just need a few sit-ups.
Are you hungry? I made stew.
Drink this.
Thanks, Mum.
Where did you get this, Mum?
Your Aunt Let took me to this faith healer.
She's the one helping us.
What happened to me, Mum?
Does anyone have a grudge against you?
An old man.
I'm full.
The doctor said it was a heart attack.
But I'm certain
someone did her in while she was sleeping.
How did that happen?
Mother placed a very powerful protection
all over this place.
It means the enemy is using
a really powerful incantation.
Mother only uses the medallion
if the enemy is strong.
I've only seen her use it three times.
The first time she used it
my brother died as a result.
The other time, Mother lost her sight.
This time, it's her life.
If we didn't come to her
this would never have happened.
Mother knew the risk right from the start.
Who's going to help us now?
You must go to Cabugao.
Look for Mr Celso.
He's a very good healer.
He's the one who taught Mother.
He was young when he started healing.
He's being guided by a white elemental.
According to Mother
that's the queen of the elementals.
Good afternoon.
Good afternoon.
We're looking for Mr Celso, the healer.
Go straight ahead
then turn right when you pass by the school.
Mr Celso?
Good afternoon.
Didn't they tell you
that I don't see patients anymore?
We were hoping you'd help us
because we came a long way.
Your old student, Mameng
was helping him before.
Her son recommended you.
Mameng couldn't cure him?
She just passed away.
Her family's holding a wake right now.
His condition improved earlier
but now it seems worse.
The doctors said he only had weeks to live.
You're our last chance.
Please help us.
Come on!
I got you!
This is what the sorcerer put inside your son.
Mum?
How are you feeling?
Better.
Ma'am.
Yes?
I can send this curse back to the sorcerer.
He'll die with a bloated stomach.
Do you want that?
No. I'm not out for revenge.
I just want to know why he did this to my son.
Maybe you should ask your son.
What did you do to suffer
this kind of punishment?
Did you do anything to offend anybody?
If he has hurt anyone
I will send him to jail myself.
He's a slacker but he's not a bad person.
Lourdes, we'll take Eugene back to the vehicle.
Let me cover his head from the rain.
Take care of him.
Make sure he takes this.
Twice a day, before he eats anything.
Thank you.
Don't thank me yet.
This is not over yet.
Whoever did this won't leave him alone.
He needs to apologise.
He will only recover once he is forgiven.
How can he ask for forgiveness?
The sorcerer can hear everything he says.
Eugene.
Try to remember.
Did you get into a fight at school?
Then why is this happening?
Just tell me.
I won't get mad.
Did you offend anyone?
Even if your stomach is getting smaller
you still have to ask for forgiveness.
Tell me what happened.
Speak up!
What's the matter with you?
I'm your mother.
Whatever it is, I won't get mad at you.
Just talk to me.
Don't look at her.
What is it?
You'd rather endure that pain?
You want to die?
He's tired, Mum. Don't force him.
Mum, you should get some sleep.
Do you know her?
I think I've seen her before.
She looks familiar.
Is this your brother's girlfriend?
No.
But I think I've seen her.
Hello.
Hello?
I just found this phone.
I want to return it to the owner.
Where did you find that phone?
The phone's owner is dead.
Is that so?
May I know how she died?
She was murdered last month.
Her name was Isabel Conde.
It might be better if you just
give that phone to the police.
Where did this happen?
In Cabugao.
Where did you find the phone?
What did she say?
Mum!
Eugene.
Eugene
Get inside.
Make sure you behave.
How's your son?
He's still not well, sir.
I just dropped by to file my leave.
If you need anything, just tell me.
Thank you, sir.
Alright.
-Hello. -Hello.
-Is this the sergeant? -Yes.
This is SPO2 Lourdes Magpayo
from Echague, District 1.
I heard you were asking about Isay.
What do you want to know?
Can you brief me about her case?
It might be connected
to one of our cases here.
That was a rape and murder
but there are no suspects.
Mr Celso didn't pursue the case either.
Mr Celso, the faith healer?
Yes, he's Isay's father.
She was his only child.
Mr Celso married late because
he dedicated many years to healing.
It's said that Mr Celso asked
a white elemental to protect Isay.
An elemental?
It's her protection from any danger
that comes with Celso's line of work.
The thing is, with humans
the elemental is powerless.
Word is Mr Celso knows
who did that to his daughter.
He said he'll leave it up to God.
But I won't be surprised
if he took matters into his own hands.
Because those healers
they also know sorcery.
Mr Celso.
For the sake of our children
we're willing to do anything
even if it's not right.
Would you agree, Lourdes?
Mr Celso, I just want to talk to you.
You know
I devoted my entire life to healing.
What did I ask for in return?
Protection for me and my daughter
from my enemies' wrath.
Pa
I can't breathe
Please help me
I've killed a lot of sorcerers, monsters
elementals and all kinds of demons.
But they couldn't protect us
against the most wicked of them all!
Hey, Isay!
Hey.
It's me, Eugene.
Eugene Magpayo.
We were introduced earlier.
I asked you to dance, remember?
I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry.
I need to catch the last trip.
I'm also on my way home.
We can walk together.
It's a long way by that route.
I know a shortcut.
But it's down over there.
Watch your step, it's slippery.
I thought there was a path here.
Let's go back.
Where are you going?
Don't touch me!
Come here.
Help!
Please help me!
You can't leave.
Shut your mouth.
Be quiet.
Son of a bitch!
Olen! Help!
Help me, Olen
My son would never do something like that.
I don't care if you believe it or not!
I will get justice for Isay's death.
One life for another, Lourdes.
One child for another.
Only then will I get my peace.
Eugene is too weak to ask for forgiveness.
On his behalf, I beg your forgiveness.
If he really did something bad
He did! He did something evil!
Take my life instead!
Not Eugene. He can still change!
Can I offer my life
to bring back my daughter?
Think of it this way.
You still have another child.
You have someone to come home to.
You still have a reason to live.
I'm not leaving here
until I'm sure my son is safe.
You have to accept his punishment!
You're not the law!
I can accept it if my son goes to jail.
Really? You'll send your son to jail?
What are my charges?
What are his charges?
Grave threat.
He's threatening Lourdes' family.
You're threatening them, right?
Old tosser!
No matter what you do
your son will never recover.
Eunice, what is it?
Mum, it's Eugene!
I don't know what to do!
I don't know where to get help!
Please come home!
Eugene!
Eugene!
Mum, please come home right away!
Make way.
Step aside.
Our condolences, Lourdes.
Hey, why are you releasing him?
Chief's orders. He was his patient before.
Sign this and you can go.
Where?
Here.
Sir.
Do you think curses are real?
Mr Celso! Wait up!
Between the two of us
I want to make sure this is the end of it.
That you'll leave Lourdes' family alone.
You're lucky there's no law
for people like you.
You don't fight fairly.
Fair?
They were asking for 20,000
just to continue the investigation
on my daughter's case.
Is that what you call fair?
I leave your judgement to God.
I'm ready for him.
Darwin!
Darwin!
Reggie!
Darwin!
Reggie? Reggie!
