Somewhere Over the Rainbow

You have... one... voice message.

Press the "hash" key to listen to it.

Sancho... Little Sancho, how are you motherfucker?

I heard you're traveling in Morocco.

Don't smoke it all, ok?

How is business going?

I hope everything is fine.

Spain in fucked up man.

So... what can I tell you?

I've been here... For a long time actually.

I don't know... Time flies here.

But don't think I miss you.

Because here the chicks... Whoa... I'm up to my ears in pussies.

I'm up to the fucking ears in pussies.

When are you coming to see me?

I feel neglected motherfucker.

You'll see, you'll have a great time.

My home is your home. You won't lack anything.

We will make a trip to some islands I know and...

Actually... I have a business here that might interest you.

Good money and no hard work.

You'll see man.

It's scary at first.

But trust me.

For people like us who have our eyes open

this is the closest thing to paradise.

Here when you say "everything"...

It’s really "everything".

I still don't understand half the things that happened.

And I don't think I'll ever fucking understand them.

Manila sounded like the end of the world to me.

But it's not like I had any other options

beyond getting my ass handed to me for 800 euros a month.

And... I don't know...

All these stories about chicks...

I could make any excuse, but...

who am I kidding?

Yeah, here.

Thank you.

Hello!

I'm looking for Alonso Quijano.

Hennessy 1, 7E.

Yeah... Ok, Thank you.

Hello - Hello, sir.

I'm looking for Alonso Quijano.

Lives in tower 1, Hennessy.

Unit 7E.

Oh, this is tower 1 Hennessy, but I don't know him, I'm sorry.

Is he a resident here?

Yeah... Alonso Quijano, a blond guy...

he's tall... He's European, like me... Spanish.

Oh, the Spanish guy, yes...

Oh, I haven't seen him in a week or so. That's his car over there.

He hasn't been using it in a while.

Maybe something went wrong with him

because he always comes in and out and always says "hi".

Yeah, it's strange. - Yeah...

Fuck...

Little Alonso, what's up man? I'm here already.

I've been calling you, but your phone is off

and... end of the story.

You didn't came to pick me up from the airport

but I was expecting it.

I'm at your house, they told me you haven't been back for days.

I guess you are with some chick or something.

Whenever you turn on your phone call me, ok?

I wait for you around your place

I'll eat something or walk around.

Take care, see you later.

So, Mr. Sancho, tell me what's the problem.

My friend is disappeared.

He was supposed to pick me up...

Do we have food? Give me something to eat.

He was supposed to pick me up at the airport

and when I... - Bring over water as well.

And when I went his home

I was told that he hasn't shown up for days.

What's your friend's name?

Alonso Quijano.

How do you know Alonso Quijano?

Eh... well, we are friends...

eh.. well, since school but... Ok.

He is missing now.

He had to come and pick me up at the airport.

When did you last see him?

Eh... In person...

In person long time ago but we talk by phone from time to time so...

We already know that, tell us something we don't know.

What do you want me to tell you?

I just arrived to the country If I knew where is my friend...

When did you arrived?

Just a few hours ago, you can check my passport.

I just came.

Has anyone made contact with you?

No, no... Look... I arrived to the airport

he was not there so I went his home and...

Listen, something has happened to him, for sure.

Ok, you can go now but we will keep in touch with you.

But what's the matter with my friend?

What do you know you don't want to tell me?

Wanna eat, sit?

Hello...

If I were you, my friend I won't eat here.

Better eat there. They have dishes like a mum's cooking.

C'mon!

Thank you!

Thank you.

New in the city?

Yeah.

Where are you from?

From Spain. - Oh, Spain.

Yeah, Spain.

Amigo - Hola Amigo, nice to meet you.

Spain is in Europe, right? - Yeah.

So...

You must have made a very long trip.

Yeah... Maybe I came for nothing.

Oh, how's that?

You know? Manila is a great city.

I mean... as good as the other cities.

No, I actually came to meet a friend

but now he's... how you you say it?

He's fade out from planet Earth, you know?

Crazy.

Sorry to hear that.

You know, friend?

It's very easy to get lost here.

If you look around you’ll see a lot of night clubs in every corner.

Yeah... I mean, with beautiful girls...

- I mean, literally... - I saw that before, yeah

Nice girls, right? And...

Oh, is it ok if I sit with you there? I don't like drinking alone.

Oh yeah, sure.

- Now I invite you to a boost. - Oh, thank you.

Oh, you wanna try this? Here.

What's that? - It's called higado.

Ah, higado, It's like in Spain.

Oh, yeah?

Smoke?

Yeah, sure. - Help yourself.

Thank you.

So...

What brought you here?

For business or for pleasure?

Nothing of pleasure so far.

You mention to me about your friend.

Who's that friend that you have?

Man, you really like questions, right?

Don't you think it's a bit too much?

I bet you know my friend's name.

Alonso Quijano? - Fuck...

Look, If I knew where is my friend I wouldn't

have gone to report it, don't you think?

I already told you everything I know.

Maybe I'm not here to find your friend.

Ok.

Look.

It's enough?

You can leave, please?

Boss, here’s the payment.

You know?

Many people says that once you land on the Philippines

you can easily learn a lot about the country.

But the rest takes a lifetime to learn it.

Friend...

You will learn more about your friend on the streets of the city

and none of them is good.

Well, maybe it's good news we don't see him around anymore.

I would like to give you a piece of advice

go back to your country.

Eh! What do you mean?

What do you mean?

The dialed phone is turned off or out of range.

You can leave a message after the beep.

Quijano, it's me again.

Dude, please, if you hear me give me a fucking call.

I already had a bad feeling about the busted car but...

talking to this cop...

call me man, please, my head's going to explode.

My fucking head is going to explode.

Good evening, sir. - Hi.

Can I take your order?

Yeah... I want big tapa, you have?

Ok, one big tapa. - Yeah.

Anything else? - "Water to drink".

Ok, that's all? - Yeah, thank you.

Ok.

Big tapa.

Thank you.

Enjoy your meal.

Yeah, I know... It's not the best tasting meal ever.

Ok...

What happened to Quijano?

I'm also looking for him.

Is he your friend?

I don't know what's going on...

...But I don't have a very good feeling about all this.

You know? I talked to the police...

and they said... - talked to the police?

What did they tell you?
