It's a shame what happened to your mother.

It's a shame what happened to your mother.

She was such a kind woman.

Have you thought of selling your house and land?

Ask anyone around here,

I'll give you a fair price.

The name's Mister Soprono.

What the devil?!

What the devil?!

This stove won't stop heating up!

It just won't...

Good thing it rained, or this would have been a huge fire.

How unlucky.

You said that right. You could have gotten my beautiful horse.

I still have some plants and my plot of land.

Who will take care of that? Me?

Do I look like a farmer to you?

Without a horse, I'll never be able to leave this place.

Wait! Wait.

Don't worry. We can still come to an agreement.

Saint Clare, most refined,

grant me my request

thirteen wives in all

who after some beating won't complain at all.

Saint Clare...

- Did you find him? - He's not here!

- Not here either! - Nothing.

Look for him in the grass.

- Not here! - Nothing!

Mother of...

Quiet down, Kidlat. Let's talk about this later.

You can do it, huh?

Why did you hit me?!

Fool!

You idiot! You scared me!

Shameless! Communists! Anarchists!

You must thank God I am a man of peace.

If I were not, I would have butchered you all!

Come back you cowards! Come back!

You will never enter the Kingdom of God!

What were they thinking? Oh my God!

Please have mercy! Don't kill me, please.

I'm not a priest. I'm not a priest.

I'm not Spanish. I'm Visayan!

I didn't realize Visayans were that pale.

You're not a bandit?

I'm not.

Why do you have a weapon?

No reason.

Blessed are you mister.

You must have been heaven sent to help me out.

Take this. Take this.

Don't leave! Don't leave! Stay here, okay?

Wait!

Stop! Stop!

What are you doing?

Just riding my horse.

Riding your horse? Do you not see I'm a priest?

But you just said you're not a priest.

I said no such thing!

You have a horse. You're traveling with a priest.

The priest rides the horse, you walk.

Help me up.

Wait. Wait.

Kidlat, mind yourself. You might commit a sin.

Come on, pull!

Don Alfonso, what's going on?

We're leaving for Manila. We just sold the house.

But, why?

Haven't you heard? The fighting's have started.

Revolution is here again.

You idiot! You're not doing it right.

We are worried about the children. We have many.

Yes, my friend. But that's still not right!

My confreres, what has happened after all these years?

Look who's coming, the ever-famous Father Gil.

I hope you enjoyed your vacation.

Yes, I'm sure the Reverend Bishop would be so delighted to listen to your stories.

Oh yes, the Bishop.

This man is a criminal! He abducted me and brought me to the mountains!

Put him in jail! Please Lieutenant, put him in jail!

- Yes, that's right. - This man abducted me...

- I was the one who saved him. - And took me to the mountains!

He's a bastard. Believe me!

You, come here. Arrest him!

He tortured me for three weeks in the mountains.

Wait, what's happening?

Six hundred is too much. How about seven hundred?

You're making a fool out of me. Why are you screaming so loud?

It hurts.

It hurts?

Yes.

I could hardly lift my arm.

But it hurts so much.

It hurts?

- Yes sir. - Alright, then we'll press on.

Continue with your screaming.

Nice and loud.

Yes sir.

That's enough.

Let him clean up and get dressed. Take him to the convent.

Here he is, Father Gil.

Son, don't be afraid. What's your name?

I'm Kulas. Nicolas Ocampo.

I'm Father Gil. I forgive you.

Kulas, do you regret what you did?

I do.

If I ever see you again, I'm not stopping over.

Kindly, Father. Could you please leave us alone?

I shall try to convert this man into a good Christian.

You are such a good man.

I have always struggled to be good. But we are still human, aren't we?

Well, I will just be around.

Thank you Father, thank you.

Are you hungry?

Have something to eat.

Come closer. Come closer.

No, my son, no.

Stand up. Stand up.

You know, Kulas, priests are humans too, just like you.

I have a son who's six or seven years old now.

He doesn't have a mother anymore.

I wanted to bring him to Manila, but I failed to do so.

Will you take him there for me, Kulas?

You won't regret it.

Kulas, I have faith in you.

This is very important to me.

What's your boy's name, Father?

Erminigildo. Bindoy.

Kulas?

Where does he live?

He's in Barrio Santa Rosa. You'll easily spot him.

He's the only Filipino there. A Filipino, like me.

Men of Barrio Santa Rosa,

we are all expected to fight for our country.

We will fight to the death with whatever weapon we have!

Long live independence!

Long live independence!

Hey,

there's someone coming.

I don't recognize him.

Do we attack?

Announce yourself, young man.

I must warn you,

if you were sent here as an invader by the Spanish government,

then prepare to die.

For all these men before you are united in defending our independence.

Now, what have you to say?

Does Bindoy live here?

What did he say?

Bindoy?

A young boy named Bindoy, the priest's son.

I'm here to take him home.

Thank goodness. Come with me.

Brothers, he's not an enemy.

A bit soft in the head, but not an enemy.

Brothers, let's continue our congregation!

Who took the flag down? Raise the flag!

Aura!

Aura!

You son of a bitch! Why are you here? Go join the Katipuneros for all I care!

- Enough, Aura! - Enough!?

We have a visitor. He's here to take Bindoy.

Bindoy?

You're taking Bindoy?

Yes, ma'am. If it's fine with you.

Bindoy!

Come in.

Bindoy!

Screaming at me in front of our neighbors. How embarrassing.

- There you are. Come here! Come here! - I don't want to! No!

- Come here! - No!

Mister Kulas, how are we related?

I don't know.

I think your mother is my cousin,

but I'm not sure.

What I'm certain of is that I'm taking you to your father in Manila.

- My father? - Yes.

Auntie said my father is dead.

No, he's very much alive. And he's a priest!

That's a huge honor.

Priest?

- Yes, and he's taking you with him. - Where?

Where else, but to the Spanish settlement in Iloilo!

I don't think so.

Yes, he will.

- No, he won't. - Yes, he will.

. No! . Okay.

This boy is so stubborn.

- How about Zamboanga? - No!

- Morong Morong? - No!

- Paete? - No.

You're so stubborn. Didn't I tell you that won't work?

Cut down some wood as replacement. It won't last in that state!

Aren't you the one in charge here? Why did you let this happen?

I had no control over this. It was an accident.

You, get up and help. Why aren't you helping?

Why would I? I'm not a carpenter. I'm an actor!

Well, who isn't an actor in this group?
