Lilim (2025) Movie Script
Tomas.
Tomas, listen to me.
Listen to me.
We need to leave.
Now.
Issa
Why did you do that? Why?
I already told you.
I had to do it, Tomas.
I had to.
He can't hurt us now.
Another rally at the university
was dispersed today.
Things got heated with the students
Police quickly arrived
and settled the situation.
I'm telling you, folks, we really
need to be more vigilant,
especially with all these
instigators around,
they're always up to something.
My advice? Just keep
a cool head and we'll all be fine.
Relax! We're used to this, am I right?
And in other developments,
coming in straight from Manila,
a lunatic threw a grenade on stage
during the opposition party's speech
resulting in two deaths,
and possibly injuring six others.
My God.
According to authorities,
stricter measures
will be implemented around the area
to secure the venue's next event
Meanwhile, during the summer season,
people are likely to face challenges.
We might experience temporary brownouts
more frequently because of this
This looks like the place.
Where are we?
Do you remember the stories
Mom used to tell us?
How she loved playing
hide-and-seek among trees like these.
Before she passed away,
I remember her telling me
how she would sometimes imagine
running away to this place
whenever Dad would hurt her.
But why are we here?
You told me that
we're going to Grandma's house.
-We can't, Tomas.
-But
-Don't worry, I'll take care of you.
-I'm not stupid!
I know what you did!
You're a murderer!
I already told you. I had to do that!
No!
You didn't have to!
I don't want to stay with you!
I'm not coming with you!
Let me out!
Tomas, can't you understand
that I'm protecting you?
Tomas, come back!
Tomas!
Tomas!
Tomas!
Tomas?
Tomas!
Tomas!
Tomas?
Hello?
Anybody home?
Tomas?
Tomas!
Calm down, my dear.
Please forgive Gabriel,
he didn't mean to scare you.
I just needed help.
The door was open,
-so I thought--
-This orphanage rarely gets visitors.
We get careless sometimes,
and forget to lock the doors.
But that won't happen again,
right, Josephine?
Yes, Sister Marga.
Wait
Who are you and where did you come from?
Helena, can't you see that she's scared?
I know what I'm doing, Trining.
You're hurt. What happened?
It's nothing.
I tripped and fell.
I saw something.
What did you see, child?
Nothing. For a second, I thought
But where did you come from?
Why did you come here?
Helena, that's enough.
Tell us your name.
It's Issa.
I'm just looking for my brother, Tomas.
Our car broke down on the highway.
He ran into the forest
and I couldn't catch up to him.
Didn't you say this was an orphanage?
Where are all the children?
Tomas.
Tomas!
Tomas!
Are you okay?
Don't ever run away like that again.
We found the child wandering outside.
His memory is hazy,
maybe you can talk to him.
I insist that you stay the night.
There are no shelters nearby.
Tomas
I'm here now.
It's okay.
Tomas
You didn't tell them anything, did you?
Don't worry.
I'm here now.
Your room.
I'm glad Sister Marga
let you stay the night.
There are some old clothes there,
you can wear them.
Is someone else staying in the room?
The last person who stayed here
had to leave in a hurry.
Don't mind her things.
Lord, it's me again.
Please protect me and Issa.
Forgive her for what she has done.
What are you doing?
Don't you pray?
Pray? What's that?
Is that kind of like what the sisters do?
It's how I talk to the Lord.
To thank Him, and to ask for His help.
You worry too much.
We're safe here at the orphanage.
Some of the kids are even
lucky enough to get adopted.
I had a friend, his name's Patrick.
He left recently.
But at least he has a family now.
Hey, Nilo!
Keep it down! I can't sleep!
Don't worry, the children are asleep.
Have you finished cleaning?
Careful, let's not wake our new guest.
It is good that Mother has eaten.
These past few nights have been calm.
Not for long. We need to be prepared.
Don't lose faith, Sister,
for it is written.
-Dim the lights.
-Yes, Sister.
Sir.
Mr. Sevilla's office called.
She hasn't been to work since yesterday.
She's not answering her calls either.
We called their grandmother,
the kids aren't with her either.
The Corolla's gone, too.
Maybe the two of them went on a road trip.
Then we should go, too.
We need to find them quickly.
Everyone, listen up.
We have new guests today,
Issa and her younger brother Tomas.
They'll be staying here for awhile.
I trust everyone remembers their manners
and are respectful
towards our new friends.
Move it!
I apologize for the simple food.
It's the only thing we can afford
on our budget at the moment.
It's surprising how few of them
actually get adopted.
Many of them are children
of desaparecidos or rebels.
The money given by
your church isn't enough?
We are not funded by any church.
We merely rely on donations,
mostly from supporters
sympathetic to our cause.
Good thing you picked up
this one, Sister Marga.
We've been waiting for
a new friend to play with.
Prinsipe.
Don't mind him.
Prinsipe can be
really troublesome at times.
He's a bad influence on the other boys.
I've noticed something.
Are there only boys here?
Have all the girls been adopted?
There are only eight of us sisters.
I'm sure you'll understand,
we can't traditionally educate them
on certain matters.
Instead, we make sure that
they grow in an environment
where they cannot be
plagued by perverse thoughts.
Please, allow me.
-Are you finished?
-Thank you.
-You're nasty!
-Why, was it small?
Hell no. It was big!
You wench! Sister might hear us.
We'll handle the dishes.
Just leave it there.
Hello.
Why are you all alone?
Don't you want to join your friends?
They're having lunch.
By the way, I'm Issa.
What about you? What's your name?
What are you looking at?
Ezekiel.
Return to the hall.
And you
Sister Marga's waiting for you.
I'm sorry.
I can't thank you enough, Sister Marga.
I honestly don't know where
Tomas and I would have ended up
-if you hadn't helped us.
-It's no burden.
But I sense that you still have
something you want to tell me.
I wanted to ask if
we can stay here indefinitely.
I wouldn't be this desperate
if our situation wasn't so hopeless.
No need to explain.
We do not judge here.
Look at them.
Many of us
chose to abandon the city life.
To escape the chaos
fate had in store for us.
Here, in our new home,
we found peace in pursuing
a new beginning.
I'm not sure how long
we'll have to stay, Sister.
You may leave any time you want.
We're willing to help you
in any way we can.
If
I can't find a way to fix our situation
would it be possible
for you to get Tomas adopted?
I don't have the heart to leave Tomas,
but I don't think I can
Whatever was broken can be fixed, Issa.
But if it comes down to it,
we will take care of Tomas.
Thank you, Sister.
Thank you.
These rooms are for storage.
We use them mostly to
store our reading materials.
Past the mess hall is our cellar.
Gabriel, get a move on.
Sister Josephine's waiting.
Gabriel is a hard worker.
It's a shame he gets picked on often.
Whose room is that?
That is Mother Mirasol's room,
she's our oldest member here.
She's confined to her room,
we rarely bother her,
except for occasions
like council meetings.
You're forbidden from entering that room.
So, there are nine of you here?
Sister Marga said
there were only eight of you.
You can start cleaning
Sister Marga's office.
We all have a part to contribute here.
Slow poke!
All right, enough of this crap.
It's getting boring.
Listen up!
You know the drill.
Who wants to be Mother Mirasol?
Since you're the new kid, Tomas,
you have to be Mother Mirasol.
Put that on.
Who's Mother Mirasol?
Mother Mirasol?
She's the beast that roams the orphanage,
looking for children to eat for dinner.
Hurry up! Put that on,
and start chasing us.
What are you waiting for? Chase us!
Prinsipe's getting angry.
Coward!
You're useless!
Mother Mirasol is coming
She'll eat you
And spit out your bones
Mother Mirasol is coming
She'll eat you
And spit out your bones!
Are you okay?
We can play another game if you like.
Careful now.
It is up to us women
to protect this place.
It's a dangerous time, I'm sure you
understand why we can't be too careful.
We use that to fend off wild boars
from the forest as well.
So, please don't wander outside,
especially when it's dark.
Let Tomas know as well.
We wouldn't want to mistake him
for a pesky boar.
I hope not.
Do you watch movies, Sister?
We have no time for such distractions.
It's more important for us
to tend to the kids.
Finish up here, dinner will be ready soon.
The search continues for the two siblings
responsible for the murder of their
Your turn! That's it!
Hey, look, it's Tomas.
Hey, Tomas!
Quit being a coward and show us.
Prove to us that you're a man.
-No way.
-Why? Are you hiding something?
That's enough, Prinsipe.
Leave Tomas alone.
What's it to you? Is he your boyfriend?
Now what? You want to punch me?
Go on! Punch me!
Coward!
Maybe you need your sister
to stand up for you.
You think I'm scared of her?
You should be scared of her.
She'll kill you and cut off your penis.
How long have they been in there?
Hurry up and get to bed already!
Weakling!
I'm so tired, today was a lot.
But I can't complain,
we got everything we need here.
About our secret,
you haven't told anyone, have you?
Don't ever tell anyone, okay?
I don't like it here.
I want to leave.
But we're safe here, Tomas.
Why can't you understand that?
You're the one who killed father
I will fix this.
Just trust me.
Have you seen, Tomas?
Tomas?
Tomas.
To avoid lice.
I'm sure he doesn't mind,
Sister Marga. Right, Tomas?
It's finished, you can go.
See? It suits you.
The hair on the floor,
can you clean it up?
Sister Marga
I told you not to carry it on your own.
-I didn't mean to.
-That was our last statue of her,
and you broke it!
Trining?
Start walking, Trining.
Don't you dare scream.
Every step I take is for you.
This suffering, I offer it to you.
You who saved us
from the sins of this world.
Trining!
-Trining, what are you doing?
-Don't touch me!
-What are you doing to her?
-Let her be.
She needs to suffer.
Every drop of blood,
I offer it to you
for us
She symbolizes the struggles of all women.
The first wife of Adam.
She is known by many names,
but to us, she is Lilith.
The bane of men.
Our beloved mother.
You know, Issa,
I always wonder
how Catholics are able
to believe in stories of saints
of saints growing back their eyes
after they have been plucked out.
Female saints growing beards.
Saints who are said to
have defeated dragons.
They sound absurd.
But like them
we, too, believe in the stories of Lilith.
This absurdity is part of our faith.
"The first wife of Adam."
A symbol for the struggles of women.
Lilith.
It's time, Tomas.
I apologize.
You're new, so we had to test you.
Now, I'm giving you
another chance to prove yourself.
Later, get a bra and panty
from the laundry room.
If I do this, will you leave me alone?
Don't, Tomas!
You don't need to do this.
This is no joke.
But you had to do this, too, right?
Good boy.
Make us proud.
Be careful downstairs.
Sister!
A child is missing. It's Tomas!
This is dangerous!
Mother might catch his scent!
Who started this nonsense?
You?
What now?
So, no one's going to admit to it?
Do I really have to name someone?
It was me, Sister.
We made it clear last time that you
won't be given a second chance, Prinsipe.
What are we going to do with you?
You went too far this time, Prinsipe.
You put Tomas in danger.
It's a good thing we found him.
I'm so done playing with these kids.
They're a bunch of fools!
I want to get out of here.
Sister.
This is our fault.
As I told you before,
we're being too lenient with them.
We shouldn't let this pass.
And what do you suggest we do
as punishment, Helena?
It's too early for that.
He's not ready.
Tomas.
What happened last night?
Did you try to run away again?
I can't remember much.
I saw something.
My head hurts.
Everything's going to be fine.
Tomas, you need to eat.
Sister May,
bring out the ice candy for the children.
We have wonderful news!
Prinsipe, are you ready to leave?
We have found a family both ready
and worthy to adopt you.
Hear that?
I'm finally getting out of here!
It was our previous superior
who taught us how to make those.
Is it your first time tasting that?
Before our mom died,
she used to make us ice candy.
But she doesn't use coconut.
Tomas, how are you?
Did you see something last night
that you want to share with me?
What did you see?
I saw a pair of eyes.
Bright ones.
Long fingers.
Sometimes our imagination plays
tricks on us, especially in the dark.
But to tell you the truth,
I believe every word of it.
-Really?
-Of course!
But it wasn't
a monster you saw last night.
This place
holds many secrets.
This isn't a simple orphanage.
It was built on top of a miraculous site.
The home of an angel.
An angel of love.
I believe it is that very angel
that you saw last night,
not a monster.
Don't worry, she had
no intentions of hurting you.
Because angels
don't hurt innocent people
like us, do they?
No, they don't.
It's time, Prinsipe.
Take care, Prinsipe.
Take care.
-Bye, Prinsipe.
-Take care! Don't forget about us!
Where are we going?
You have to say goodbye to Mother Mirasol.
Okay.
Make sure to whisper in her ear,
Mother can't hear too well anymore.
Sister Helena!
Sister Helena!
You have to say goodbye to her.
If you don't say goodbye,
we won't let you leave.
Hurry up, Prinsipe.
Your new family is waiting for you.
Oh, mother of the shade
who came into this world alone
rid us of our chains, oh, Mother,
for you bear the divine wrath.
From the veil of twilight,
you call us forth
to resist and to reign,
from ashes to ashes.
In your image,
we seek enlightenment.
From darkness where we were born,
grant us the strength
to win back your throne.
Gabriel, what happened in that room?
I heard shouting.
Do you know what did they did to Prinsipe?
Do you know anything about this orphanage?
Are we in danger? Tomas and I.
Please, I have to know!
Gabriel!
Tomas.
Can we talk?
We have to leave now.
You were right, something's wrong here.
We need to leave.
I don't understand.
After all this time
you suddenly want to leave?
It was a mistake to come here.
I was I was just following
what Mother said
to go here when
Tomas, please listen to me!
Prinsipe's gone.
The other kids won't bother me anymore.
You said we were safe here.
Why should I believe anything you say?
I admit
I hid a lot of things from you, Tomas.
I was supposed to leave you here.
I hoped that
you could find another family.
You were going to leave me?
But I won't.
I'm not going to leave you anymore.
We're both leaving this place, okay?
Issa
Sorry.
I didn't do anything
when father was hurting you.
I'm sorry that I was weak.
Tomas.
I don't want to hear you
saying these things.
Whatever happened in the past,
whatever will happen,
we will face it together.
-Together, always.
-Together, always.
So here you are.
We've been looking for you two.
We have good news again.
Issa, let's talk upstairs.
We found a family for Tomas.
I'm telling you now,
he will be picked up later tonight.
Sister Marga,
we've actually decided to leave.
I found a temporary shelter
where we can stay,
just until I sort out our problems.
Let's stop lying to each other.
We both know how grave your situation is.
The truth is
I know a lot of things about you, Issa.
She was our previous superior.
Esther.
None of us assumed
that she would be the first to leave,
all because of sympathy.
The sympathy she had for an infant orphan.
Mom?
Do you even know
the meaning behind your name?
Isabel!
The one pledged to God.
I told her there wasn't
any other name befitting for you.
And now, it's time for you
to know who we are.
We are the Lilim.
Servants of Lilith.
You can never leave this place
Sister Marga made it clear,
the boy can't leave.
It's Sister Marga!
Where's Issa?
Find her!
Hey, over here! Help us!
Help! In here!
Please help!
Good afternoon, Sister.
Help me! Help!
Help us!
Help!
We're really sorry for this, Sister.
What those siblings did was horrible.
They sound dangerous.
Based on the car we found on the highway,
it looks like they fled to this forest.
Sister.
Are you sure you didn't receive any--
Not a single soul.
Our doors are always
open to those in need,
but we have nothing to hide.
I have answered all your questions.
Wait
May we come inside?
The orphans,
we were hoping to talk to them.
Sister Helena.
You're far too pretty to be a nun.
Sister.
You have nice paintings.
Those are all donations.
The kids. Where are they?
I really need to talk to them.
-Should I go with you?
-It's okay. I got this.
Don't be scared.
I'm a cop.
Darwin!
Be gentle, sisters, you might wake her.
She's still resting from her last feast.
But she will regain her strength.
Mother hungers for more.
Prepare the offerings.
Don't waste your strength.
The rope's too thick.
They might as well be handcuffs.
Please! Tomas needs our help!
Try getting out!
Shit! They took my gun.
Are you a cop?
I'm Fred.
-You must be
-Issa.
And
And Tomas
He's your
My little brother.
Were you looking for us?
Yeah.
What the hell took you so long?
They killed
Those women killed my partner! Damn them!
Who the hell are they?
Cult members.
Lunatics.
But it's not them I'm afraid of.
What do you mean?
I saw
I saw a
I saw the severed arm of a child.
Those nuns aren't
the only ones living here.
What do you want?
What do you want?
Let go of me!
Let go
Wait
Where are you taking me?
Where are you taking me?
Please, don't hurt the children.
Let go of me!
There are those who say
that we devotees of Lilith
are all bound for hell.
At first,
I was terrified of that.
But now, I no longer fear
the flames of hell.
This power can be yours as well.
Just open your heart
and accept her.
But you are not Lilim.
Marga was wrong about you.
You don't deserve to be here.
You are weak!
Don't you worry about Tomas.
He's lucky.
Because unlike you,
he has something
to offer our beloved Lilith.
We will offer every drop of his blood
for our new beginning.
Issa!
-Issa!
-Hurry up!
My sister! Where is she?
-Let go of me! Where's my sister?
-Shut up, you brat!
Don't you want to join your new family?
They're waiting for you!
Come here!
Mother!
We give you this offering once again.
Regain your strength,
so that you may rise again.
The world is ready for your return.
Beloved mother!
Gabriel.
Gabriel
Save the kids, okay?
I have to go get Tomas.
All right?
Don't worry.
The end is near.
I see her in you.
Esther
You're both brave.
So full of hope.
But we are all part of her plan, Issa.
What is written shall be fulfilled.
No one can leave!
That's right.
Don't look away.
Don't you dare look away
when you are in her presence.
The fourth seal has been opened.
Everything is set.
I have fulfilled my role.
Mother, give me strength
Get down there!
Stop squirming!
Let me go!
Don't be scared.
It is almost finished.
She will deliver us now
to where there is no more suffering
No more pain.
For it was written
She won't stop until
everything is under her shadow.
The old God has forsaken us.
It hurts
Tomas
You have to hide.
Tomas.
Get out!
Tomas.
Tomas.
Tomas, are you okay?
Can you walk?
Go, I'll follow you.
Go now!
Hurry!
Tomas.
Tomas.
Tomas?
Issa
we can't leave Nilo
and the other orphans.
What's going to happen to them?
We don't have time for this, Tomas.
They're just scared to leave.
We have to show them
that they shouldn't be scared.
Stay here, okay?
Together, always. Remember?
Together, always.
Always.
Tomas.
Tomas, listen to me.
Listen to me.
We need to leave.
Now.
Issa
Why did you do that? Why?
I already told you.
I had to do it, Tomas.
I had to.
He can't hurt us now.
Another rally at the university
was dispersed today.
Things got heated with the students
Police quickly arrived
and settled the situation.

need to be more vigilant,

we're going to Grandma's house.
-We can't, Tomas.
-But
-Don't worry, I'll take care of you.
-I'm not stupid!
I know what you did!
You're a murderer!
I already told you. I had to do that!
No!
You didn't have to!
I don't want to stay with you!
I'm not coming with you!
Let me out!
Tomas, can't you understand
that I'm protecting you?
Tomas, come back!
Tomas!
Tomas!
Tomas!
Tomas?
Tomas!
Tomas!
Tomas?
Hello?
Anybody home?
Tomas?
Tomas!
Calm down, my dear.
Please forgive Gabriel,
he didn't mean to scare you.
I just needed help.
The door was open,
-so I thought--
-This orphanage rarely gets visitors.
We get careless sometimes,
and forget to lock the doors.
But that won't happen again,
right, Josephine?
Yes, Sister Marga.
Wait
Who are you and where did you come from?
Helena, can't you see that she's scared?
I know what I'm doing, Trining.
You're hurt. What happened?
It's nothing.
I tripped and fell.
I saw something.
What did you see, child?
Nothing. For a second, I thought
But where did you come from?
Why did you come here?
Helena, that's enough.
Tell us your name.
It's Issa.
I'm just looking for my brother, Tomas.
Our car broke down on the highway.
He ran into the forest
and I couldn't catch up to him.
Didn't you say this was an orphanage?
Where are all the children?
Tomas.
Tomas!
Tomas!
Are you okay?
Don't ever run away like that again.
We found the child wandering outside.
His memory is hazy,
maybe you can talk to him.
I insist that you stay the night.
There are no shelters nearby.
Tomas
I'm here now.
It's okay.
Tomas
You didn't tell them anything, did you?
Don't worry.
I'm here now.
Your room.
I'm glad Sister Marga
let you stay the night.
There are some old clothes there,
you can wear them.
Is someone else staying in the room?
The last person who stayed here
had to leave in a hurry.
Don't mind her things.
Lord, it's me again.
Please protect me and Issa.
Forgive her for what she has done.
What are you doing?
Don't you pray?
Pray? What's that?
Is that kind of like what the sisters do?
It's how I talk to the Lord.
To thank Him, and to ask for His help.
You worry too much.
We're safe here at the orphanage.
Some of the kids are even
lucky enough to get adopted.
I had a friend, his name's Patrick.
He left recently.
But at least he has a family now.
Hey, Nilo!
Keep it down! I can't sleep!
Don't worry, the children are asleep.
Have you finished cleaning?
Careful, let's not wake our new guest.
It is good that Mother has eaten.
These past few nights have been calm.
Not for long. We need to be prepared.
Don't lose faith, Sister,
for it is written.
-Dim the lights.
-Yes, Sister.

We are not funded by any church.
We merely rely on donations,
mostly from supporters
sympathetic to our cause.
Good thing you picked up
this one, Sister Marga.
We've been waiting for
a new friend to play with.
Prinsipe.
Don't mind him.
Prinsipe can be
really troublesome at times.
He's a bad influence on the other boys.
I've noticed something.
Are there only boys here?
Have all the girls been adopted?
There are only eight of us sisters.
I'm sure you'll understand,
we can't traditionally educate them
on certain matters.
Instead, we make sure that
they grow in an environment
where they cannot be
plagued by perverse thoughts.
Please, allow me.
-Are you finished?
-Thank you.
-You're nasty!
-Why, was it small?
Hell no. It was big!
You wench! Sister might hear us.
We'll handle the dishes.
Just leave it there.
Hello.
Why are you all alone?
Don't you want to join your friends?
They're having lunch.
By the way, I'm Issa.
What about you? What's your name?
What are you looking at?
Ezekiel.
Return to the hall.
And you
Sister Marga's waiting for you.
I'm sorry.
I can't thank you enough, Sister Marga.
I honestly don't know where
Tomas and I would have ended up
-if you hadn't helped us.
-It's no burden.
But I sense that you still have
something you want to tell me.
I wanted to ask if
we can stay here indefinitely.
I wouldn't be this desperate
if our situation wasn't so hopeless.
No need to explain.
We do not judge here.
Look at them.
Many of us
chose to abandon the city life.
To escape the chaos
fate had in store for us.
Here, in our new home,
we found peace in pursuing
a new beginning.
I'm not sure how long
we'll have to stay, Sister.
You may leave any time you want.
We're willing to help you
in any way we can.
If
I can't find a way to fix our situation
would it be possible
for you to get Tomas adopted?
I don't have the heart to leave Tomas,
but I don't think I can
Whatever was broken can be fixed, Issa.
But if it comes down to it,
we will take care of Tomas.
Thank you, Sister.
Thank you.
These rooms are for storage.
We use them mostly to
store our reading materials.
Past the mess hall is our cellar.
Gabriel, get a move on.
Sister Josephine's waiting.
Gabriel is a hard worker.
It's a shame he gets picked on often.
Whose room is that?
That is Mother Mirasol's room,
she's our oldest member here.
She's confined to her room,
we rarely bother her,
except for occasions
like council meetings.
You're forbidden from entering that room.
So, there are nine of you here?
Sister Marga said
there were only eight of you.
You can start cleaning
Sister Marga's office.
We all have a part to contribute here.
Slow poke!
All right, enough of this crap.
It's getting boring.
Listen up!
You know the drill.
Who wants to be Mother Mirasol?
Since you're the new kid, Tomas,
you have to be Mother Mirasol.
Put that on.
Who's Mother Mirasol?
Mother Mirasol?
She's the beast that roams the orphanage,
looking for children to eat for dinner.
Hurry up! Put that on,
and start chasing us.
What are you waiting for? Chase us!
Prinsipe's getting angry.
Coward!
You're useless!
Mother Mirasol is coming
She'll eat you
And spit out your bones
Mother Mirasol is coming
She'll eat you
And spit out your bones!
Are you okay?
We can play another game if you like.
Careful now.
It is up to us women
to protect this place.
It's a dangerous time, I'm sure you
understand why we can't be too careful.
We use that to fend off wild boars
from the forest as well.
So, please don't wander outside,
especially when it's dark.
Let Tomas know as well.
We wouldn't want to mistake him
for a pesky boar.
I hope not.
Do you watch movies, Sister?
We have no time for such distractions.
It's more important for us
to tend to the kids.
Finish up here, dinner will be ready soon.
The search continues for the two siblings
responsible for the murder of their
Your turn! That's it!
Hey, look, it's Tomas.
Hey, Tomas!
Quit being a coward and show us.
Prove to us that you're a man.
-No way.
-Why? Are you hiding something?
That's enough, Prinsipe.
Leave Tomas alone.
What's it to you? Is he your boyfriend?
Now what? You want to punch me?
Go on! Punch me!
Coward!
Maybe you need your sister
to stand up for you.
You think I'm scared of her?
You should be scared of her.
She'll kill you and cut off your penis.
How long have they been in there?
Hurry up and get to bed already!
Weakling!
I'm so tired, today was a lot.
But I can't complain,
we got everything we need here.
About our secret,
you haven't told anyone, have you?
Don't ever tell anyone, okay?
I don't like it here.
I want to leave.
But we're safe here, Tomas.
Why can't you understand that?
You're the one who killed father
I will fix this.
Just trust me.
Have you seen, Tomas?
Tomas?
Tomas.
To avoid lice.
I'm sure he doesn't mind,
Sister Marga. Right, Tomas?
It's finished, you can go.
See? It suits you.
The hair on the floor,
can you clean it up?
Sister Marga
I told you not to carry it on your own.
-I didn't mean to.
-That was our last statue of her,
and you broke it!
Trining?
Start walking, Trining.
Don't you dare scream.
Every step I take is for you.
This suffering, I offer it to you.
You who saved us
from the sins of this world.
Trining!
-Trining, what are you doing?
-Don't touch me!
-What are you doing to her?
-Let her be.
She needs to suffer.
Every drop of blood,
I offer it to you
for us
She symbolizes the struggles of all women.
The first wife of Adam.
She is known by many names,
but to us, she is Lilith.
The bane of men.
Our beloved mother.
You know, Issa,
I always wonder
how Catholics are able
to believe in stories of saints
of saints growing back their eyes
after they have been plucked out.
Female saints growing beards.
Saints who are said to
have defeated dragons.
They sound absurd.
But like them
we, too, believe in the stories of Lilith.
This absurdity is part of our faith.
"The first wife of Adam."
A symbol for the struggles of women.
Lilith.
It's time, Tomas.
I apologize.
You're new, so we had to test you.
Now, I'm giving you
another chance to prove yourself.
Later, get a bra and panty
from the laundry room.
If I do this, will you leave me alone?
Don't, Tomas!
You don't need to do this.
This is no joke.
But you had to do this, too, right?
Good boy.
Make us proud.
Be careful downstairs.
Sister!
A child is missing. It's Tomas!
This is dangerous!
Mother might catch his scent!
Who started this nonsense?
You?
What now?
So, no one's going to admit to it?
Do I really have to name someone?
It was me, Sister.
We made it clear last time that you
won't be given a second chance, Prinsipe.
What are we going to do with you?
You went too far this time, Prinsipe.
You put Tomas in danger.
It's a good thing we found him.
I'm so done playing with these kids.
They're a bunch of fools!
I want to get out of here.
Sister.
This is our fault.
As I told you before,
we're being too lenient with them.
We shouldn't let this pass.
And what do you suggest we do
as punishment, Helena?
It's too early for that.
He's not ready.
Tomas.
What happened last night?
Did you try to run away again?
I can't remember much.
I saw something.
My head hurts.
Everything's going to be fine.
Tomas, you need to eat.
Sister May,
bring out the ice candy for the children.
We have wonderful news!
Prinsipe, are you ready to leave?
We have found a family both ready
and worthy to adopt you.
Hear that?
I'm finally getting out of here!
It was our previous superior
who taught us how to make those.
Is it your first time tasting that?
Before our mom died,
she used to make us ice candy.
But she doesn't use coconut.
Tomas, how are you?
Did you see something last night
that you want to share with me?
What did you see?
I saw a pair of eyes.
Bright ones.
Long fingers.
Sometimes our imagination plays
tricks on us, especially in the dark.
But to tell you the truth,
I believe every word of it.
-Really?
-Of course!
But it wasn't
a monster you saw last night.
This place
holds many secrets.
This isn't a simple orphanage.
It was built on top of a miraculous site.
The home of an angel.
An angel of love.
I believe it is that very angel
that you saw last night,
not a monster.
Don't worry, she had
no intentions of hurting you.
Because angels
don't hurt innocent people
like us, do they?
No, they don't.
It's time, Prinsipe.
Take care, Prinsipe.
Take care.
-Bye, Prinsipe.
-Take care! Don't forget about us!
Where are we going?
You have to say goodbye to Mother Mirasol.
Okay.
Make sure to whisper in her ear,
Mother can't hear too well anymore.
Sister Helena!
Sister Helena!
You have to say goodbye to her.
If you don't say goodbye,
we won't let you leave.
Hurry up, Prinsipe.
Your new family is waiting for you.
Oh, mother of the shade
who came into this world alone
rid us of our chains, oh, Mother,
for you bear the divine wrath.
From the veil of twilight,
you call us forth
to resist and to reign,
from ashes to ashes.
In your image,
we seek enlightenment.
From darkness where we were born,
grant us the strength
to win back your throne.
Gabriel, what happened in that room?
I heard shouting.
Do you know what did they did to Prinsipe?
Do you know anything about this orphanage?
Are we in danger? Tomas and I.
Please, I have to know!
Gabriel!
Tomas.
Can we talk?
We have to leave now.
You were right, something's wrong here.
We need to leave.
I don't understand.
After all this time
you suddenly want to leave?
It was a mistake to come here.
I was I was just following
what Mother said
to go here when
Tomas, please listen to me!
Prinsipe's gone.
The other kids won't bother me anymore.
You said we were safe here.
Why should I believe anything you say?
I admit
I hid a lot of things from you, Tomas.
I was supposed to leave you here.
I hoped that
you could find another family.
You were going to leave me?
But I won't.
I'm not going to leave you anymore.
We're both leaving this place, okay?
Issa
Sorry.
I didn't do anything
when father was hurting you.
I'm sorry that I was weak.
Tomas.
I don't want to hear you
saying these things.
Whatever happened in the past,
whatever will happen,
we will face it together.
-Together, always.
-Together, always.
So here you are.
We've been looking for you two.
We have good news again.
Issa, let's talk upstairs.
We found a family for Tomas.
I'm telling you now,
he will be picked up later tonight.
Sister Marga,
we've actually decided to leave.
I found a temporary shelter
where we can stay,
just until I sort out our problems.
Let's stop lying to each other.
We both know how grave your situation is.
The truth is
I know a lot of things about you, Issa.
She was our previous superior.
Esther.
None of us assumed
that she would be the first to leave,
all because of sympathy.
The sympathy she had for an infant orphan.
Mom?
Do you even know
the meaning behind your name?
Isabel!
The one pledged to God.
I told her there wasn't
any other name befitting for you.
And now, it's time for you
to know who we are.
We are the Lilim.
Servants of Lilith.
You can never leave this place
Sister Marga made it clear,
the boy can't leave.
It's Sister Marga!
Where's Issa?
Find her!
Hey, over here! Help us!
Help! In here!
Please help!
Good afternoon, Sister.
Help me! Help!
Help us!
Help!
We're really sorry for this, Sister.
What those siblings did was horrible.
They sound dangerous.
Based on the car we found on the highway,
it looks like they fled to this forest.
Sister.
Are you sure you didn't receive any--
Not a single soul.
Our doors are always
open to those in need,
but we have nothing to hide.
I have answered all your questions.
Wait
May we come inside?
The orphans,
we were hoping to talk to them.
Sister Helena.
You're far too pretty to be a nun.
Sister.
You have nice paintings.
Those are all donations.
The kids. Where are they?
I really need to talk to them.
-Should I go with you?
-It's okay. I got this.
Don't be scared.
I'm a cop.
Darwin!
Be gentle, sisters, you might wake her.
She's still resting from her last feast.
But she will regain her strength.
Mother hungers for more.
Prepare the offerings.
Don't waste your strength.
The rope's too thick.
They might as well be handcuffs.
Please! Tomas needs our help!
Try getting out!
Shit! They took my gun.
Are you a cop?
I'm Fred.
-You must be
-Issa.
And
And Tomas
He's your
My little brother.
Were you looking for us?
Yeah.
What the hell took you so long?
They killed
Those women killed my partner! Damn them!
Who the hell are they?
Cult members.
Lunatics.
But it's not them I'm afraid of.
What do you mean?
I saw
I saw a
I saw the severed arm of a child.
Those nuns aren't
the only ones living here.
What do you want?
What do you want?
Let go of me!
Let go
Wait
Where are you taking me?
Where are you taking me?
Please, don't hurt the children.
Let go of me!
There are those who say
that we devotees of Lilith
are all bound for hell.
At first,
I was terrified of that.
But now, I no longer fear
the flames of hell.
This power can be yours as well.
Just open your heart
and accept her.
But you are not Lilim.
Marga was wrong about you.
You don't deserve to be here.
You are weak!
Don't you worry about Tomas.
He's lucky.
Because unlike you,
he has something
to offer our beloved Lilith.
We will offer every drop of his blood
for our new beginning.
Issa!
-Issa!
-Hurry up!
My sister! Where is she?
-Let go of me! Where's my sister?
-Shut up, you brat!
Don't you want to join your new family?
They're waiting for you!
Come here!
Mother!
We give you this offering once again.
Regain your strength,
so that you may rise again.
The world is ready for your return.
Beloved mother!
Gabriel.
Gabriel
Save the kids, okay?
I have to go get Tomas.
All right?
Don't worry.
The end is near.
I see her in you.
Esther
You're both brave.
So full of hope.
But we are all part of her plan, Issa.
What is written shall be fulfilled.
No one can leave!
That's right.
Don't look away.
Don't you dare look away
when you are in her presence.
The fourth seal has been opened.
Everything is set.
I have fulfilled my role.
Mother, give me strength
Get down there!
Stop squirming!
Let me go!
Don't be scared.
It is almost finished.
She will deliver us now
to where there is no more suffering
No more pain.
For it was written
She won't stop until
everything is under her shadow.
The old God has forsaken us.
It hurts
Tomas
You have to hide.
Tomas.
Get out!
Tomas.
Tomas.
Tomas, are you okay?
Can you walk?
Go, I'll follow you.
Go now!
Hurry!
Tomas.
Tomas.
Tomas?
Issa
we can't leave Nilo
and the other orphans.
What's going to happen to them?
We don't have time for this, Tomas.
They're just scared to leave.
We have to show them
that they shouldn't be scared.
Stay here, okay?
Together, always. Remember?
Together, always.
Always.
Tomas.
