Melissa.

It's dad.

Tarsila, try to explain to him.

Let's go, Belen.

Tarsila.

Why are you so stubborn?

I already told you that women are prohibited in the hill

if there's a duel of arnis.

Captain Simon, I'm begging you.

- Let me. - I can't disobey the elders.

Just stay right there.

Don't fight him, Emilio.

Lorenzo is a cheater.

It's not enough that you're just ready in arnis.

I'm afraid of what's going to happen.

I am more afraid

of what's going to happen to me, if I will not face him.

In the eyes of the residents here in Mabolo,

The man you're going to marry is a coward.

Emilio.

Lorenzo.

You will fight as gallant warriors of arnis.

The heat of the blood,

hatred in the chest

should not prevail.

My judgment is final and should be followed.

Anyone who will give up

should let go of the arnis sticks

for the fight to stop.

You start as a gallant man,

you'll end up as the better man

in the name of arnis de mano.

Start the duel.

Hit him!

Why did he do that?

Is that allowed in arnis, Manuel?

Let's wait for the decision of Master Sutero.

But he doesn't see it.

You're already good in arnis,

but you still lack experience.

Lorenzo's cheating skills are working again.

Manuel, stop the fight!

Lorenzo is cheating!

Didn't I tell you,

let's wait for Master Sutero's decision?

Fight, brother!

Fight!

Manuel!

Let's ask them to stop the fight.

He is still holding the arnis sticks, Ariel.

That's enough!

End your problem in the hill.

Brother!

Brother!

Brother.

Brother!

Brother!

Brother!

Brother.

Brother.

Emilio!

Emilio!

Emilio!

Emilio!

Wake up, brother.

Brother.

Brother.

Brother.

Brother.

Wake up, Emilio!

Brother.

Brother.

Emilio.

Emilio.

You shameless bastard!

Criminal!

Criminal!

You killed him.

You killed him.

You killed him.

Emilio and I are both losers.

Right, Tarsila?

Him in arnis, me in your heart.

The only difference is I'm alive

and he's dead.

You will die too, Lorenzo.

You are also going to die.

You are also going to die!

That's enough!

Calm down.

You, Master Sutero,

you're the mediator.

You saw that my brother was cheated.

He already lost the arnis sticks.

What did Lorenzo do?

What?

Ariel, that's enough.

They both engaged in a fight.

And it is unfortunate that your brother fell from the hill.

The Elders saw what happened.

They want to hide the brutality of arnis.

That's why they want my brother's coffin covered.

Is that right, Manuel?

That's enough, Ariel.

Ariel was right, Captain.

What Lorenzo did was a crime

and he must be held responsible.

I know he intentionally killed Emilio.

Lorenzo couldn't accept

that I don't like him.

And that is the reason.

She's right, dad.

You know Lorenzo

is really arrogant.

He cannot accept his defeat.

They say that arnis is a gentleman's game.

But they allowed Lorenzo

who is so arrogant.

I'm not taking sides.

There are regulations

being followed in the arnis fight.

And according to Sutero,

who was the mediator of the fight.

Emilio's death was not intended.

Emilio slipped and fell off the hill.

Many people saw it.

Lorenzo did too much cruelty.

Emilio couldn't fight anymore

but he still hit him.

He made his anger to Emilio too personal

and that is against the rules of arnis.

He needed to let go of the arnis sticks

as a sign of surrender.

And until Emilio fell from the hill

he was still holding the sticks.

In the tone of your words,

Lorenzo is not responsible?

Are we just going to let.

Emilio's death get no justice?

I'm so sorry, Tarsila.

The Elders have decided.

The Elders.

All that's important to them is the game arnis.

They become blind and deaf to any harm.

The important thing to them

is to have the game arnis alive in this town.

Even if all the men here die.

You know, Manuel

after weighing everything that happened.

Lorenzo is not at fault.

It just so happened that he is more skillful.

And that he has stronger arms,

that's why Emilio suffered that tragedy.

If you plan to persecute Lorenzo,

not in the law,

not in the court.

In a gallant battle

up the hill.

Lorenzo already ran away.

Maybe he got scared to be sued.

He brought the arnis with him.

Could he really use it as a livelihood in Manila?

He just desecrated arnis here in our place.

He will answer to the Elders.

You should follow.

You should follow me, okay?

Don't be so hard.

Don't be so brave.

Manuel!

Manuel!

Ariel is beating the horse!

I was trying to stop him,

but he tried to hit me too.

What is the problem?

Manuel, Dencio?

Ariel is trying to beat the horse.

Just yesterday

he was angry with the carabao too.

Wait a second, dad. I'll just go there.

Enough!

I said stop.

You will gain nothing.

If anger will prevail in you,

you'll have no direction.

You'll even defy a horse.

Is this the only thing that will happen to my brother?

All the people here knows that he was killed.

Are we just going to let him be in the grave

without anyone getting held responsible?

He paid for my studies.

He has many dreams for me!

Now what?

Even if I finish all my studies,

no matter how good I become,

can he still see it?

Manuel!

You're my brother's friend.

Help him.

You are the only one who can help him.
