The Kingdom (2024) Movie Script
It's incredible
that there are big fishes here.
In the middle of the sea
there are a lot of fish.
What's that noise?
This is Sintan Coast Guard conducting
patrol in accordance with the law.
Whats he saying?
Foreign maritime vessels are not
allowed to enter Sintan Reef.
Hey, someone is coming.
What is that?
They're coming!
There it is! Thats our rescuer!
Sintan Coast Guard,
this is Maritime Vessel Sanduguan.
You are trespassing
within the Kingdom of Kalayaan.
Your Royal Highness,
the convict was found guilty of killing
his neighbor and his son.
A sentence of imprisonment for the crime
of manslaughter is not enough for
the victims relatives.
Thats why they have demanded
for the Law of Retribution.
The convicted no longer appealed.
So he accepted the retributive justice.
The Law of Retribution is a holy law,
bestowed by Bathala,
passed down by
our ancestors, which states that:
"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
All debts must be repaid.
Let the punishment fit the crime."
Hail to the King!
He who has the blood of Bathala,
blessed by the goddesses,
ancestral spirits and nature spirits,
proclaimed by the people,
King of the Malaya,
our King Makisig Nandula!
-Hail to the King!
-Hail to the King!
All hail Silayan Hil-um!
-Hail to the Head Priestess!
-Hail to the Head Priestess!
We are all gathered here today
to ensure justice is served.
You, Balong Dipasupil,
have taken two innocent lives.
Hence, two lives
must also be taken from you.
Your life and your sons life.
No child of Bathala is born evil.
They are only made evil by frailty.
May the light of Bulan guide
you both to the afterlife.
Ready.
Load.
Aim.
Fire.
Order arms.
The Lusong, Mindanaoan and the Bisaya
became one under the crown.
They are the Malaya.
The kingdom is born from the
alliance of Rajah Matanda,
Rajah Sulayman and King Dula.
King Dulas descendant, King Makisig,
believed to have the blood of Bathala,
now rules over the nation.
between Kalayaan and Thailand.
King Makisig Nandula.
Mabuhay!
King Makisig, you have declared
The military remains honorable.
we are bound by
our debts as dictated by the king
and his Rajahs.
What Bathala has united,
cannot be separated by man.
The king is yet to choose who among them
will be next to rule the kingdom.
Prince Bagwis should
be the kings successor!
He is a strong contender!
As for me, Ill go for Princess Matimyas.
Shes definitely
the smartest among them all.
Not to mention shes kind!
I choose the youngest!
Why would you even support her?
Shell just be sent to
another country, anyway!
Poor Princess Lualhati,
shell only be used to
pay off her fathers debts.
What are the kings debts?
Too many to mention.
And youre going to
inherit and pay them all!
What do you need?
A bottle of fuel, please.
Dont even try to sell him anything.
Look, hes got no markings on his skin.
He is of the Banished.
Hell bring us bad luck!
Try from another store.
We're already sold out. Im sorry.
Grandfather
So?
They didnt sell you anything again?
-Mando!
-Mr. Kip!
Sulo, Im here to collect your rent.
Mando, please give
us a little more time.
The recent typhoon
caused severe damage.
Half of our harvest was rotten.
Sulo, just recently,
youve used pests as an excuse.
Im the only one whos still allowing
my land to be farmed by the likes of you.
Well, if thats the case,
Ill just let somebody else farm my land.
Wait!
This is not enough.
Dont you know
that imported rice is much cheaper?
Im just doing you a favor here.
Wait a minute.
How much for this one?
Here.
Until next time.
We only get this small amount
for all of that?
How can we have a better life if we are
constantly being exploited by
other people?
Come on, Sulo.
Are you still not used to it?
People like us should
never dream of a better life.
Maybe thats exactly the problem,
Grandfather.
Maybe its because weve grown used to it.
We cant keep turning
a blind eye to wrongdoings.
-We must--
-Complain?
Rebel?
Go ahead, go to the king!
Tell him all your complaints!
Sulo
You are nothing but dust.
They are gods.
Theres nothing you can do about it.
So bow down
and comply.
This one is regarding the expanded tax,
then one about the long holiday,
and a measure to change the name of
Alakdan street
You really expect me to handle
even the smallest of things?
Wheres that damned Prime Minister anyway?
Your Royal Highness.
Prime Minister.
Your Royal Highness, please forgive me.
I am beside myself with shame.
Next time, you'd better train your pet
so you wont be in trouble.
A mistress should be left in bed and
not be given a government position.
Your Royal Highness.
Just explain yourself tomorrow, gentleman
when both of us have cooled off.
As you command.
Your Royal Highness?
Father!
Good morning, Princess Lualhati.
-One last thing, Your Royal Highness--
-Excuse me.
No work during meals and recess, remember?
Whats our current score again, Father?
-Are you leading by three points?
-Four.
You look exactly like your mother.
Im sorry, Father.
If only I hadnt been born,
Mother would still be alive.
If only we could bring her back.
If only we could bring her back
Id definitely give up everything.
Im so glad that she still lives in you.
And just like the Queen,
you are my heart.
This line from
your wrist up to your middle finger
is a sign that you are blessed.
A gift from Bathala.
In that case,
why would you get rid of this gift?
Is this about your wedding yet again?
I know that this task
was just appointed to you.
I have no hard
feelings against Big Sister
I truly understand.
This must be done, my dear.
The Head Priestess has given her blessing,
and most of all
I have given my order.
And the kings order
must be obeyed without question.
Im going to miss you so much, Father.
Wait a minute!
What is it?
Father, you have
moved something here again.
No, I didnt.
I dont think this is
the way it was earlier.
Father, what did you move this time?
Many oppose
the opening of a new mine in Karaya,
especially
the residents who are near the shore.
Theres no need to rush this project.
Its ancestral land we aim to flatten,
TRIUMFANTE ILAGAN - HEAD MINISTER
an inheritance the people care about
and fight for, as they should.
If we want to pursue this project,
we must win their favor.
Princess, why wait?
Why do we even have to waste money
when in fact,
they are the ones in the wrong?
They are actually breaking the law.
Its a hazard zone!
Gentlemen,
they wont just lose their homes
but also their livelihoods once this
mining project pushes through
To punish them, on top of their loss,
is too much.
People might think that the kingdom
has no compassion for them.
Princess Matimyas,
if they are fighting
for their right to the land,
it is but our duty, including you,
to execute the laws of the kingdom.
Regarding that matter,
arent you the one who spearheaded
disaster mitigation initiatives?
If ever those people made a mistake in
building their houses by the shore,
dont you think that it was your fault to
begin with, for failing to guide them?
Im not insinuating anything.
I just want to know
if our laws are being
implemented efficiently.
PARLIAMENT OF THE KINGDOM
Are we truly free?
Many are still bound by poverty
due to the selfish
interests of a select few!
The bounty of the sea is
not enough for their greed.
They wish to run it dry.
This royal wedding is a wedding
of two capitalist kings,
done only to formalize the pillage
of our land by foreign countries.
Are we just going to be silent
and turn a blind eye?!
No!
The tyrant king must fall!
Protect our seas and soil!
The tyrant king must fall!
Protect our seas and soil!
What is she doing here?
I am here to listen to all your concerns.
Youre such a hypocrite!
Since when did the king ever listen?!
Thats right!
The king hardly listens.
Lucky for you, Im not the king.
You cant fool us!
Get lost!
Serves her right!
Stop it!
Royal Guards
Get out of the way!
thats enough.
Well
Now that youve vented your anger.
What can I do for you?
Let's sit.
Gracing this tournament with his presence,
let us give a warm welcome to our prince!
He who has the blood of Bathala
the firstborn of the king,
convener of the Datu,
the Prince of the Malaya,
Prince Bagwis Nandula!
All glory to our prince!
Lets give it up for the prince!
Your Highness,
we would like to offer you this game.
Please give
the defeated his final verdict.
Shall he live or be
sacrificed to the gods?
Live or die?
POWER SHOWDOWN
And the winner is Buhawi!
Whats the highest bet for today?
-Three million from that foreigner.
-Let's give it up
for Dagul and Barok.
Is he the one currently building
a casino in Sapang Bakawan?
Yes.
Double my bet to six
to keep our guest excited.
As you command.
And one more shot for my new friend.
As you wish, Your Highness.
Ladies and gentlemen,
are you ready for the next match?
Prince Bagwis
himself will choose the blades.
And there we have it!
Thank you so much, Your Highness!
Lets give it up for Dagul and Barok!
If I win this match,
I can finally pay off my debt.
Play the crowd right and
you might even become a free man.
This will definitely be a good match.
Let the battle begin!
Place your bets!
Keep them coming!
He slashed his opponent!
This fight is getting more intense!
Now, its the other fighting cocks turn!
Finish him!
Hes got a severe cut!
And hes down!
I yield! I yield!
Whats your verdict?
Let him live or die?
Let him live or die?
Your Highness, Ill do anything,
just please, spare me!
Your Highness,
thank you so much!
-I owe you my life!
-Indeed.
A debt you shall pay whenever
and however I bid you.
Go ahead,
enjoy your day while you still can.
The winner!
Once again, lets give it up for Dagul!
Thank you so much, ladies and gentlemen!
Silay?
The land beneath
your home will be painted in hues
of steel rusted orange.
A crown of gold.
A blood red moon.
Signs of a new chapter.
Your Royal Highness
There will be bloodshed
There will be
bloodshed within your family.
Tim!
Where were you earlier?
The council had noticed your absence
during the meeting.
I had to deal with something
that couldnt be resolved by
holding meetings.
Dont worry. I got something for you,
a new fighting cock.
It might be useful for you.
Youre the future king.
Please, act like it.
You act like it!
Who says I dont?
Im doing everything in
my power to hold you up.
All Im asking is for you to at least pull
your weight while I support you.
And one more thing
Please dont give the king any
more reason to criticize you.
Youre well aware that Im so confident
because I have full trust in you.
I just dont want to get in the way
of your shot.
Youre trending yet again.
Im also a keen observer.
Thats not what I mean
Well, never mind.
Father,
this is what Ive chosen for the wedding.
How did you get that?
Isnt it lovely?
Its not full of gold
or gems but its unique,
especially since it has the face of
Bakunawa.
A reminder not to let
greed and excess consume you.
-Your Royal Highness.
-Your Royal Highness.
Big Sister, Big Brother.
Grandfather! Grandfather!
Please give me your blessing.
May the blessing of
Bathala be upon you, Felipe.
I had your favorite dessert prepared.
Lualhati
this one has history,
remarkable.
I really admire your taste.
Big Sister, Big Brother,
how was your day?
-Bagwis?
-Father!
Remember the foreigner whos been
bribing some military to build a casino?
I've had him arrested,
including their accomplice Datu.
Interpol is on to him now, too.
He has abandoned the unfinished casinos
and his properties.
No talk of work during meals.
What about Lualhati? Isnt
her wedding all about work?
Anyway, Father
Regarding the properties
left by the foreigner,
they can be used for housing programs.
Am I right?
Am I right, Matimyas?
We first need to assess
if they align with the peoples needs.
We need to consult with
the people were relocating.
By the way, Father--
Can we just talk about something else?
Im negotiating
peace talks with the rebels.
Youre just wasting your time.
Theres no reasoning
with those ungrateful people.
Have they responded?
Father, didnt you say that
They havent responded yet.
And besides,
I wont promise them anything.
I only mean to pacify them.
Very well.
At least we can keep
a close watch over them.
Bagwis,
any update about the bribed generals?
A rice cake is cooked by
heating both top and bottom.
I dont
I dont understand.
So that it wont get undercooked like you.
Those traitors must be
exiled in front of the people.
Or better yet, execute them!
They might even
recruit within the military.
Lualhati,
you should let us know if you notice
anything suspicious with the Thais.
Why is that?
The Head Priestess had a bad premonition.
Be extra vigilant,
especially with the upcoming wedding.
They might use that opportunity to attack.
The entire world is watching.
Therefore, you all have to watch out
and be at your best.
The Bakunawa kept circling around
and suddenly danced.
And the people screamed
-"Give us back our light!"
-"Give us back our light!"
And so, it spat out the last moon!
Since then, whenever the darkness
consumes the moon,
it has been the custom of people
to make loud noises
to frighten and drive away the Bakunawa.
The end.
Thank you, Tarek.
Please dont get married, Auntie.
Ill be back,
Ill come visit you always.
Good night. Its time for bed.
Nanny Mira, make loud noises
too when the Bakunawa shows up okay?
You can count on it, Prince Felipe.
Lu
About the wedding,
if you need any help just let me know.
even about your wedding night.
Is there anything you wanted to know
or try?
Its not in their tradition to practice
before the wedding night.
How backward.
How can the newlyweds
enjoy their first night
if both of them have no idea what to do?
You can still practice.
We can call for
a skilled one to lie with you.
But I will know.
One day, your unquestioning allegiance
will put your life in danger.
What does "quid pro quo" even mean?
Prince, the foreigner said that if ever
you give him a pardon,
In that case, we can
allocate it to the sovereign wealth fund.
More than 50% goes to the
kingdom from its revenue.
Its such a big loss.
Theres no quid pro quo involved.
Lets have a quick break first!
You better have come to an
agreement when I get back.
I also come here whenever Im having
a hard time sleeping.
I still miss her.
Do you remember when you were still a kid?
Even then you had a weak stomach.
Until one day,
they hung an amulet in your crib
to ward off illnesses and negative energy.
I dont remember anymore.
Amulet,
that was what your mother was to me.
Go on, you better get your rest.
And easy on the cockfights, okay?
What cockfight?
I told you,
the entire world is watching,
including me.
Everything must be in order on your
younger sisters wedding day.
Can I count on you?
Dont let your subordinates wait.
Father!
Please give it back.
This was your mothers.
And this is mine.
Its a twin Bakunawa.
Its a reminder that even we have
to obey the will of Bathala.
Oh, please, Father.
Its like you no longer want me back here.
I made a request to the prince.
That when the day comes that he
no longer wants you as his wife,
he must never lay a finger on you.
Instead, he must return to me
my most beloved daughter.
I love you just as much, Father.
My fellow citizens,
in just a few hours,
were going to witness
the historic union of the Malaya and Thai.
Behind me, the people
are going wild with excitement.
This shows how much our fellow citizens
love and respect Her Royal Highness.
My fellow citizens,
here comes our Prince Bagwis!
Here comes His Royal Highness.
Let us all give him a warm welcome!
Please, have a seat.
Excuse me. Why did we stop?
Sir, please wait for a while.
They are fixing
something on the other road.
Princess, get out of the car!
Stop resisting!
Just do as I say, Princess!
Lualhati!
Big Sister!
Get over here!
Where do you
think youre going? Get over here!
I need assistance!
Felipe!
Nanny!
Nanny!
Mother! Mother!
Mother!
Whats taking them so long?
Its embarrassing to the guests.
Where are they?
They got stuck in traffic
since the princess was late.
The Princess late?
Ready the car.
Secure the perimeter
within a 10-mile radius.
No one can get in or get out.
Father, whats--
Escort everyone to the safe houses.
Accompany the Thais
and keep an eye on them.
Is there anything
we should be concerned about?
Where is the Princess?
Thank goodness, youre finally awake!
Ive already prayed to all the gods and
ancestral spirits for your healing.
Wheres Felipe?
Wheres my son?
Dont worry, hes safe.
King, Prince, General Carpio
Our princesss vital
signs are back to normal.
Thank you, Head Priestess.
Father, Brother,
wheres our younger sister?
They have Princess Lualhati.
Based on the markings
of the fallen attackers,
they are rebels.
Princess, Princess
You havent regained your strength.
You need to rest.
With all due respect, Princess Matimyas.
Did they just
suddenly ambush your vehicle?
They have blended
in with the Royal Guards.
With the Royal Guards?
Royal Guard.
Those bastards!
Investigations are
ongoing for every individual.
If this is indeed an inside job,
the mastermind will soon get caught.
Father, I failed to protect her.
We have to get her back.
Pull over! Pull over!
I need some cigarettes!
Cigarette, please.
TOBACCO FOR SALE
Wait! This is not enough.
Wait! Your payment is not enough. Wait!
-Your payment is not enough.
-Ill pay you next time.
Drive!
Someones following us!
Who's that?
Stop!
Let your passenger off!
Push him off the road!
Lets see what youve got.
I said stop!
What a fool!
What's that?
Joaquin fell!
Pull over!
Princess?
Put me down!
What the heck, Mister!
Dont you understand, Mister?
Youre treating me like
Im just a sack of potatoes!
This is not dignified for a princess
or for any lady!
People might get the wrong idea.
They might think
theres something between us
or they might get lewd ideas.
That hurts!
You were saying, Princess?
All I want is a little order here.
Go get changed,
so we can start going on foot.
On foot?
-Cant we just--
-Your kidnappers will have a hard time
searching for you if we go on foot.
If you still want to live,
just follow my instructions, Princess.
Why did you save me?
Are you sure that Im
really saving you right now?
No.
But its enough for me
that you didnt harm me.
Or not yet.
Im just doing the right thing.
Which clan do you belong to?
Im pretty sure
that youre not just a farmer.
No farmer is that good at martial arts.
Ive noticed
that you have no markings on your skin.
That means you are of the Banished.
What treachery did your kin commit
against the kingdom?
The fathers sin is the childs sin.
And Im still paying the price even now.
In that case, help me.
Help me and I will restore your honor.
Trade me for ransom.
You must be starving. Take this.
Shouldnt we wash our hands first?
My countrymen,
I bring you tragic news.
Her Highness, Princess Lualhati
has been kidnapped
by enemies of the kingdom.
STOP INSPECTION STATION OF THE KALAYAAN
PLEASE BEAR WITH US. THANK YOU.
We humbly ask for your prayers.
Please help us find
and bring back the princess.
To all the people behind this,
were open to peace negotiations
and agreements.
However, if we forego honor and reason
for the sake of a revolution,
indeed theres
something wrong with our nation.
And these issues must
be addressed and rectified.
May the blessings of
Bathala be with us always.
Very well. Keep me posted, General.
Matimyas,
did Lualhati mention anything to you?
Someone couldve been keeping tabs
on her before the wedding.
Im fine, Father.
It doesnt hurt that much.
She hadn't mentioned anything, unless
unless shes having second thoughts
about the wedding.
Then, this might be intentional.
She could never turn her back
on her family, unlike
Get back to sleep,
you need to regain your strength.
Cant you ever forgive me, Father?
Ive welcomed you back to my home.
To your home, yes. But into your life
I made a mistake by eloping,
but Im already making amends, right?
Im doing everything
in my power to help you.
After losing your mother,
you became my pillar of strength.
When you left me for the son of my rival,
I felt like I lost
someone dear to me all over again.
I just fell in love.
And where did your love get you?
Children are
supposed to bury their parents.
But when you left
I buried something
that can never be unearthed.
Is that how you see me to this day Father?
Bathala knows
how much I love you, Matimyas.
I wish I could feel it again.
Come on.
Hang on, Sulo, my legs are getting numb.
Its not yet safe here, Princess.
-Hey!
-Ouch!
Are you going to stand or do you want me
to carry you like a sack
of potatoes again?
Fine. Im going now.
Just scream when the
wild boars are get here.
What?
Ouch! Ouch!
It hurts!
Sulo, wake up! Sulo! Sulo!
Are you okay?
Ive been trying to wake you up
but you wont wake up.
We need to keep going, Princess.
Sulo, wait for me!
Parliament unanimously agrees to
the proposal to place the entire kingdom
under a state of emergency.
Other nations, including
the United States,
Japan, Europe, also extend their support.
They are willing to provide assistance
in order to catch the criminals as
Your Royal Highness
the rebels have finally made contact.
The hand appears to be severely damaged.
In my opinion,
it will be difficult to lift fingerprints.
But Ill still submit this
for forensic examination
to confirm
it belongs to Princess Lualhati.
This hand doesn't belong to the princess.
Why would the rebels send fake evidence
that the princess is still alive?
They know well soon find out
that its not really Lualhatis hand.
Whoever planned this is really bold,
he has strong
connections with the military
and is powerful.
But who could it be?
The Minister?
A Rajah?
Wickedness starts in the mind and heart.
This is the message
of the ancestral spirits
The prince is the one responsible.
The fighting cock
he brought home from the cockfight
was the one
who drove for the princess that day,
and opened the door to evil.
If the prince is indeed behind this
I need to be certain.
Rosa, we just need a place to stay.
-Im sorry, youre the only
-Mother!
Sulo, this is my son
Kiko.
Kiko.
Rosa, this is
-Lu.
-Youre so beautiful!
Thank you.
And shes confident about it.
Why of all places, here?
The kid might be in danger.
Im sorry.
I didnt know that you have a son.
Wheres Kikos father anyway?
Ouch!
He doesnt have a father.
I'm the only one my son needs.
Lets eat!
Hope you dont mind, Pri--
Hope you dont mind, Lu.
This is all that we have.
Please, enjoy your meal.
Wow! Krill is my favorite!
In fact, we love pairing it with
different dishes for fun.
Whats fun for you is actually the
peoples means of survival here.
-Have some rice.
-Thank you.
During rainy season, when the shrimps
cant be dried under the sun,
the price is very cheap.
So, its better to
just eat it than to sell.
Why dont you just catch some fish?
For sure, there are many fish here.
We cant.
All the reefs have been exploited
because of your father.
The king wouldn't
consider marine destruction,
unless its for
the greater good of the kingdom.
Whatever greater good that is,
hopefully it would reach me, or us.
Mother, does he like you?
He can't take his eyes off you.
Just finish your food.
No conclusive evidence yet from forensics,
Your Royal Highness.
They are so slow!
Lets just burn the entire North to the
ground to force those rats out!
Your Highness,
many innocent people will suffer.
Reach out to the rebels in secret.
Ask for evidence
that they truly have the princess.
Princess Matimyas is still too weak
to negotiate peace talks.
This is not a negotiation.
Prince Bagwis,
I authorize you to do as you wish.
Your presence is greatly appreciated
and were honored to meet you.
The rumors are all true.
You do look
ordinary.
Wigan,
I have brought the kings
response to your message.
He will give you everything you want
in exchange for the princess.
He will give everything we want?
Anything?
Including your head?
Rosa, thank you so much.
Ill return the favor
when I get back to Manila.
No need.
Im now happy with a simple life.
I did dream of bigger
things once, however
What happened?
It didnt come true.
His anger is far more important than me.
I wont let anger
consume me as it does him.
My father is innocent!
Father!
Sulo
Breathe with me now.
Look at me.
Youre here with me.
What do you want?
First of all,
independence throughout the North.
Cease all kingdom operations.
Secondly, evict all believers of the
Church of Bathala from the North
to avoid treachery.
And thirdly,
this agreement is to be signed
in the blood of the king.
Thus, whoever succeeds him
shall not disregard this agreement.
And we will be
expecting that before midnight.
Are you completely mad?
It is an insult to rush the king.
If the king is indeed true to his word,
I believe that he will find a way.
Its such an honor and a privilege to have
your presence, Your Royal Highness.
We greatly appreciate your visit
to witness the princes pronouncements.
Even though were aware that his
words are just empty promises.
If the order comes from the prince,
then it shall be fulfilled.
Before anything else,
did you bring
the evidence that I asked for?
Go ahead, kill me if thats
what you want, but Ill take him!
How dare you deceive me and the king!
Youll face
the consequences of your deception!
Why are you being skeptical?
You want proof, right?
Theres your proof.
-Bakunawa.
-Bakunawa.
My sister wears a Bakunawa bracelet!
Deceiving us like this means you
really dont have the princess
or you already finished her and you just
want to make her family suffer!
We may not believe in the same God,
but we are all children to our parents.
This game youre playing is cruel.
And I swear to you,
I will avenge my sister!
Dont you dare laugh,
or else Ill slit your throat!
Bagwis, calm down.
If you really were brave enough,
I shouldve been dead by now.
Drop your dagger, Bagwis.
If you are not half-brained,
you will listen to your father.
-Bagwis!
-Or else you prove yourself
to be the imbecile you are.
Wait, the prince!
Bagwis!
Bagwis!
Bagwis!
My son
Was I ever good enough for you,
even just once?
Not just once.
Countless times, my son.
I never knew
that it's this cold in the North.
Do you think youve already won?
This fight wont end with my death.
Because a hundred
people will rise to continue my fight!
And those hundred people will
all die under my hands!
Royal Guards!
Your Royal Highness!
Only the civilians shall live,
for tonight will go down in history
as to how the arrogant Wigan
humbled himself before Bathala.
Do this in honor of your prince.
Do it!
Are you still a member?
Not anymore.
I quit when I gave birth to Kiko.
I never thought they could do this.
They are challenging the king.
Good morning.
We would like to sell our harvest.
Where is the market?
Just go straight ahead,
around two kilometers or more.
Hold on.
Can we ask for a glass of water?
Im sorry, my son is still asleep.
If your son is still asleep,
then whos dining with you?
Sulo!
Mother!
You better run.
What about you?
Well just slow you down.
Danger is after you.
I dont want to put my
sons life in danger, Sulo.
Again, thank you so much to both of you,
Rosa and Kiko.
I just need to finish this.
Go to Mr. Bundeng.
Tell him to come over,
we have some cleaning up to do.
Yes, Mother.
Traitorous scum!
What's the point of fighting
if they forget
their dignity in pursuit of liberty?
Take the life of an innocent child
for the sake of freedom?
How could they forget
if right from the start they werent
treated with dignity?
You rulers, are the ones who
have forgotten your duty.
"Protect our resources and heritage.
Take only what is needed
and share the rest."
But because of your greed,
youve also taken
whats rightfully theirs.
Mind your tongue.
Im still my fathers daughter.
As I am my fathers son.
He grew up believing in all of you.
And yet he was killed because of his duty:
"Love and serve Bathala.
Next, his chosen one"
"and last, your nation."
Why do you know that vow?
Your father was a former Royal Guard.
Why is it that the nation,
the people, are always the last?
Are you saying that you agree with
the rebels and their principles?
The people
who attacked earlier are not rebels.
No rebel has those kinds of boots.
They are military soldiers.
Youre in greater danger than I thought.
I couldn't find the princess,
forgive me.
Ive already warned the other
rebels at the next town.
This wouldnt have happened
if only youd followed our agreement.
To get her out of there
and give me a graze wound.
You nearly killed me.
You have so many rebels and yet,
you let a princess escape?
You even dared to
cover it up with a fake bracelet
and got the prince involved!
And you, military soldiers,
you were defeated by a mere farmer?
Hes not an ordinary farmer,
he knows how to fight.
He has no markings.
Ive already instructed my men to identify
him on the list of the Banished.
Well soon find them.
No need.
Ill just wait for their arrival.
STOP INSPECTION STATION OF THE KALAYAAN
PLEASE BEAR WITH US. THANK YOU.
Brothers!
I am Tarek, the king gave me an order,
so you have to let me pass.
Sulo, he can take us back to the palace.
Please let me pass.
Felipe?
Felipe?
My son
Dont cry, you might get sick.
Mother, nanny is already dead
as well as Uncle.
How about Auntie?
Where is she?
I dont know.
Its time for bed.
Ill go ahead. Thank you so much.
I thought you had quit smoking, Tarek.
Princess?
-Princess!
-Shush! Keep it down.
Princess
Who are you?
Youre probably the one
who kidnapped the princess!
Rebel! Ill report you to the military!
Keep quiet, Tarek!
My life is in danger with the military.
This is Sulo.
Hes the only one I trust
to bring me back to the king alive.
With your help.
Take this.
Please find something to cover your faces.
You have to pretend to be paid workers.
Thank you, Tarek.
By the way, how are they doing,
Felipe and my big sister?
They are safe.
But the prince
What was that?
Nothing.
I said you better take a rest.
This is going to be a long ride.
"Anyone who dares to harm
the one who has the blood of Bathala
-will face death."
-Father!
By the order of King Diwa,
the one who shall
take the life of the offender
is the second son of the king,
Prince Makisig.
Please, dont do it!
Father! Father!
Father!
We have arrived.
Princess, whatever weve been through
these past few days
and whatever will come our way,
please know that Im grateful,
for youve been such a good friend to
someone like me.
What are you talking about?
Were not parting ways just yet.
Ill still give you your reward.
Hurry up!
Careful, my goods might get damaged!
Watch your heads.
Wait, Tarek!
Who are they?
Cant you see? They are carrying my goods.
I have many deliveries and they are a bit
heavy, so I cant carry them on my own.
We need proof
that they are authorized to enter.
I give them the authorization.
Hurry up, my goods might get damaged.
Im sorry, Tarek,
but heightened security measures are
in place due to potential threats.
We dont understand who would
even dare to cause trouble
during this time of sorrow?
Exactly, poor Prince Bagwis,
he was still so young.
May Bathala guide him.
Apologies.
Im actually in a hurry thats why
I wasnt able to ask for authorization.
Come along.
Well, then,
just show us your faces and
the markings on your skin.
You! Identify yourself!
-Hang on, I was just tasked to bring this.
-Come here.
Lets check if he has
triangle markings on his skin!
-He has no markings!
-No markings!
-You have no markings!
-Come with us!
Wait!
Let him go!
Its Her Highness.
The danger isnt over yet
just because the snake is caught.
His followers still
possess his deadly venom.
All the rebels must die.
We're expecting your support.
Its Princess Lualhati!
The princess is back!
Shes alive!
I thank Bathala, youre alive.
Did they hurt you?
Im fine, Father.
Big Sister
But where is Big Brother?
What do you mean, Father?
Auntie!
Felipe!
Father
this is the man that saved me.
Please tell us your name, gentleman.
So we may honor your name.
I am Sulo,
Sulayman Tagum.
Royal Guards, seize him!
King, Felipe, lets go!
Hes not a bad person.
Hes the rebel who tried to harm my son.
-Thats all a lie!
-Father
Are you sure about that, Matimyas?
Absolutely.
If you'd allow me, I'll avenge
Felipe and Brother myself.
Let the law decide.
Seize him!
Wait! Father, he saved my life!
Law of Retribution!
"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!
All debts must be repaid.
Let the punishment fit the crime."
Id be a fool to
expect a fair fight against you.
Im nothing but dust
beneath the gods feet.
Therefore,
I shall resort to our ancestral law!
I demand the Law of Retribution!
My own life for the life of the one
who took my fathers life!
And who is your father?
Sigwa Tagum,
the Royal Guard of
the former Prince Makisig.
He was disgraced, his kin banished,
and killed by the man whom he
had served his entire life.
I challenge the king!
A fight to the death!
Take him to prison!
Whats the matter, my grandson?
Felipe
Father, you must deny his accusation.
Ill go talk to Sulo.
There has to be another way.
Father, you have to
decline the Law of Retribution.
Thats not possible.
Matimyas, explain it to your sister.
Go on.
The Law of Retribution is an ancient law,
bestowed by Bathala.
Whoever is called must respond.
Even the king?
Especially the king.
Father, please forgive me.
Matimyas
I am sorry it came to this.
Father
You do look like your father.
You remember him?
He wasnt just my guard and protector,
he was my friend.
Well, then, why did you kill him?
Me and my older brother, Prince Dagitab,
had an argument.
He threatened me with a knife,
so Sigwa defended me.
My brothers shoulder was deeply wounded.
"Anyone who dares to harm the one
who has the blood of Bathala"
Blood of Bathala?
You are mere mortals who set those rules,
not gods!
So who are you to say your lives
are more valuable than ours?
This belief is
the foundation of our kingdoms unity.
Whats the point of
unity if it only brings injustice?
Its hard to see the reason from below.
And its hard to see
the truth when youre at the top.
When you had me and my family banished,
you also denied me a good future.
I was helpless.
Even I was
helpless to protect your father.
Im already old,
and yet Im still not used to the weight
of the crown I carry on my head.
Its such a burden to implement
the traditions and laws
that are against my will.
Do we just have to accept that theres
nothing we can do about our fate?
There is always a way.
This encounter is proof of that.
Here you are, once again facing the
king you hated your entire life.
And here I am, facing the ghost
of my friend once more.
As long as we never forget the wrongs
that need to be rectified,
there is always a way.
If you are thinking that I would withdraw
my demand for the Law of Retribution--
I just wanted to thank
you for saving Lualhati.
And to ask for your forgiveness
for what happened to your father.
Thank you.
But I wont go easy on you.
You will honor me
by giving your all in the battle.
Even if I die
at least Ill die with honor.
I have one more request.
If you get lucky
and win tomorrows battle,
please stay by my
daughters side, Lualhati.
Defend and protect her.
This
proves that I gave
you my blessing to protect her.
I am of the Banished,
no markings on my skin.
Why would you entrust your
daughter to someone like me?
The true color of the heart cant be
found in the ink on ones skin.
Ill be forever grateful to you.
All his relatives will be banished.
And the markings on their skin will be
removed as a sign of his treachery!
Please dont kill him!
My father is innocent!
Thats enough, Sulo.
-But, Grandfather!
-You have to be brave.
Father!
My friend, you did nothing wrong.
Father!
-Father! Father!
-Sulo
Father!
Father! Father!
Good night, Grandfather.
Grandson, dont ever forget that
you have the blood of Bathala.
The blood that runs
through your veins is pure.
I love you, my grandson.
I love you too, Grandfather.
Pray before you go to bed.
Matimyas, wait.
Close the door.
This is not Sulo.
This is a rebel, not a Banished.
Youve accused an innocent man.
That only means one thing.
Its hard for you to accept that
your sister has returned
because you wish to sit on the throne.
Which you also wished for me
back then. Right, Father?
I was the one you groomed
to be your successor.
You have instilled in me
that I should rule the kingdom.
It should be me!
Are you also
responsible for the death of Bagwis?
Answer my question.
Are you also
responsible for the death of Bagwis?!
I could never hurt my brother.
And me?
Do you really hate me that much
for you to make me suffer?
I didnt know that you would be
challenged by that Banished.
How could you do this?
I just wanted you
to look at me the way you did before.
With love.
A love given freely, one that doesn't
measure my worth.
Love that I don't have to strive for.
Love that will never give up on me
despite my shortcomings.
Despite my mistakes!
Your Royal Highness,
my life is dedicated to serving you.
Please dont end it just yet.
Please be strong.
Thank you so much, Teban.
Let all be witnesses
to the fulfillment of the law of Bathala,
in the name of justice
A fight to the death!
Pay homage to the gods and to each other!
Let the battle begin!
Fight!
Father!
Father!
Father!
The life that
Bathala bestowed upon his son,
King Makisig Nandula
has now come to an end.
Without the kings order,
we will now follow the natural
order of succession.
We will proclaim
Princess Matimyas Nandula as our queen.
Truth comes in two forms
Whats right for you Is wrong for others
Theres white, theres black
Light and darkness
There are those who dominate
And others who submit
Some kings have no power
Some slaves possess
Greater freedom than others
Some soldiers fight themselves
The world has two sides
The world has two sides
The world has two sides
The world has two sides
The world has two sides
The world has two sides
These are the only laws
and bills that the king had signed.
I would like to discuss them with you
first before the meeting.
The world has two sides
The world has two sides
The world has two sides
The world has two sides
The world has two sides
Red suits you.
Its the color of life.
As well as death and blood.
Please leave us, close the door.
Matimyas,
is that how a future queen should behave?
What for?
My brother and father are already gone.
They are not here to celebrate with me.
Too much has already been sacrificed
and compromised for this.
I betrayed my family.
A priceless sacrifice for the kingdom!
Big Sister
You orchestrated everything?
My only plan was for you to disappear.
But why?
Why?
You really dont have any idea?
A ruler paves the way for the future.
If the prince became the ruler,
the people would
suffer under his iron fist.
And if it were you,
we will forever be slaves to foreigners.
But I never wanted the throne.
And Big Sister,
if the wedding had taken place--
If the wedding had taken place,
the king would forever be a puppet
of the foreigners!
You are meant as a payment
to the nations debts,
a captive to be used as a leverage
to subdue the king.
I would have solved everything.
I was ready to offer peace.
Take her away and keep her safe.
You will not harm my sister.
I was ready to face all the challenges.
Let's see you try that stunt again now.
I got something for you,
a new fighting cock.
It might be useful for you.
Live or die?!
I owe you my life!
You are the princes gift.
Take charge.
As you command, Your Highness.
I was ready to bring about change.
From the kings failure,
a queen will rise who will bring
light to the entire kingdom.
Mother!
Mother! Mother!
In exchange for the kings life.
Youre the one who killed him!
He shouldve been here to crown me!
I served as his pillar!
He relied on you.
But he cherished you!
Up to his last breath, it was still you.
I cant turn a blind eye
to your betrayal, Big Sister.
The people need to know the truth.
Where do you think youre going?
What the people need is food to survive
and a ruler to obey!
You cant stop us!
Matimyas, shes
the only one standing in the way!
Big Sister, dont!
-Big Sister, please, dont do it!
-Matimyas! We need to get rid of her!
-Big Sister, dont!
-Think about the nation!
Big Sister, please, dont do it!
Think about the future!
Big Sister, please, dont!
Mother?
Matimyas, listen to me! Matimyas!
Big Sister, please, dont!
Prison or kingdom?!
Mother!
Felipe? My son?
Its not what you think it is. Come here.
My son, come to me.
My son
My son, please, come to Mother.
Come here.
My son, its me, your mother.
Come here, my son.
My son
Princess
Why are you here?
You already got what you wanted, right?
Forgive me, Princess.
I wanted to take
revenge on the tyrant king,
but I never expected that
I would face a loving father,
a prisoner of his own throne.
And I didnt realize
that because of you and for you,
my heart had already let go of the grudge
Ive been holding onto for years.
The king asked me to keep you safe.
I dont need a savior.
I know.
Im the one who needs you.
Please, allow me to serve you.
I will allow you.
This is the only way I can throw
you like a sack of potatoes.
Everyone bears
witness to this historic day,
the coronation of the new monarch of
the Kingdom of Kalayaan, Lualhati Nandula,
the youngest daughter of King Makisig!
Our Queen!
Long live The Queen!
Long live!
Long live The Queen!
Long live!
Long live the Kingdom of Kalayaan!
Thank you, Tarek.
that there are big fishes here.
In the middle of the sea
there are a lot of fish.
What's that noise?
This is Sintan Coast Guard conducting
patrol in accordance with the law.
Whats he saying?
Foreign maritime vessels are not
allowed to enter Sintan Reef.
Hey, someone is coming.
What is that?
They're coming!
There it is! Thats our rescuer!
Sintan Coast Guard,
this is Maritime Vessel Sanduguan.
You are trespassing
within the Kingdom of Kalayaan.
Your Royal Highness,
the convict was found guilty of killing
his neighbor and his son.
A sentence of imprisonment for the crime
of manslaughter is not enough for
the victims relatives.
Thats why they have demanded
for the Law of Retribution.
The convicted no longer appealed.
So he accepted the retributive justice.
The Law of Retribution is a holy law,
bestowed by Bathala,
passed down by
our ancestors, which states that:
"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
All debts must be repaid.
Let the punishment fit the crime."
Hail to the King!
He who has the blood of Bathala,
blessed by the goddesses,
ancestral spirits and nature spirits,
proclaimed by the people,
King of the Malaya,
our King Makisig Nandula!
-Hail to the King!
-Hail to the King!
All hail Silayan Hil-um!
-Hail to the Head Priestess!
-Hail to the Head Priestess!
We are all gathered here today
to ensure justice is served.
You, Balong Dipasupil,
have taken two innocent lives.
Hence, two lives
must also be taken from you.
Your life and your sons life.
No child of Bathala is born evil.
They are only made evil by frailty.
May the light of Bulan guide
you both to the afterlife.
Ready.
Load.
Aim.
Fire.
Order arms.
The Lusong, Mindanaoan and the Bisaya
became one under the crown.
They are the Malaya.
The kingdom is born from the
alliance of Rajah Matanda,
Rajah Sulayman and King Dula.
King Dulas descendant, King Makisig,
believed to have the blood of Bathala,
now rules over the nation.
between Kalayaan and Thailand.
King Makisig Nandula.
Mabuhay!
King Makisig, you have declared
The military remains honorable.
we are bound by
our debts as dictated by the king
and his Rajahs.
What Bathala has united,
cannot be separated by man.
The king is yet to choose who among them
will be next to rule the kingdom.
Prince Bagwis should
be the kings successor!
He is a strong contender!
As for me, Ill go for Princess Matimyas.
Shes definitely
the smartest among them all.
Not to mention shes kind!
I choose the youngest!
Why would you even support her?
Shell just be sent to
another country, anyway!
Poor Princess Lualhati,
shell only be used to
pay off her fathers debts.
What are the kings debts?
Too many to mention.
And youre going to
inherit and pay them all!
What do you need?
A bottle of fuel, please.
Dont even try to sell him anything.
Look, hes got no markings on his skin.
He is of the Banished.
Hell bring us bad luck!
Try from another store.
We're already sold out. Im sorry.
Grandfather
So?
They didnt sell you anything again?
-Mando!
-Mr. Kip!
Sulo, Im here to collect your rent.
Mando, please give
us a little more time.
The recent typhoon
caused severe damage.
Half of our harvest was rotten.
Sulo, just recently,
youve used pests as an excuse.
Im the only one whos still allowing
my land to be farmed by the likes of you.
Well, if thats the case,
Ill just let somebody else farm my land.
Wait!
This is not enough.
Dont you know
that imported rice is much cheaper?
Im just doing you a favor here.
Wait a minute.
How much for this one?
Here.
Until next time.
We only get this small amount
for all of that?
How can we have a better life if we are
constantly being exploited by
other people?
Come on, Sulo.
Are you still not used to it?
People like us should
never dream of a better life.
Maybe thats exactly the problem,
Grandfather.
Maybe its because weve grown used to it.
We cant keep turning
a blind eye to wrongdoings.
-We must--
-Complain?
Rebel?
Go ahead, go to the king!
Tell him all your complaints!
Sulo
You are nothing but dust.
They are gods.
Theres nothing you can do about it.
So bow down
and comply.
This one is regarding the expanded tax,
then one about the long holiday,
and a measure to change the name of
Alakdan street
You really expect me to handle
even the smallest of things?
Wheres that damned Prime Minister anyway?
Your Royal Highness.
Prime Minister.
Your Royal Highness, please forgive me.
I am beside myself with shame.
Next time, you'd better train your pet
so you wont be in trouble.
A mistress should be left in bed and
not be given a government position.
Your Royal Highness.
Just explain yourself tomorrow, gentleman
when both of us have cooled off.
As you command.
Your Royal Highness?
Father!
Good morning, Princess Lualhati.
-One last thing, Your Royal Highness--
-Excuse me.
No work during meals and recess, remember?
Whats our current score again, Father?
-Are you leading by three points?
-Four.
You look exactly like your mother.
Im sorry, Father.
If only I hadnt been born,
Mother would still be alive.
If only we could bring her back.
If only we could bring her back
Id definitely give up everything.
Im so glad that she still lives in you.
And just like the Queen,
you are my heart.
This line from
your wrist up to your middle finger
is a sign that you are blessed.
A gift from Bathala.
In that case,
why would you get rid of this gift?
Is this about your wedding yet again?
I know that this task
was just appointed to you.
I have no hard
feelings against Big Sister
I truly understand.
This must be done, my dear.
The Head Priestess has given her blessing,
and most of all
I have given my order.
And the kings order
must be obeyed without question.
Im going to miss you so much, Father.
Wait a minute!
What is it?
Father, you have
moved something here again.
No, I didnt.
I dont think this is
the way it was earlier.
Father, what did you move this time?
Many oppose
the opening of a new mine in Karaya,
especially
the residents who are near the shore.
Theres no need to rush this project.
Its ancestral land we aim to flatten,
TRIUMFANTE ILAGAN - HEAD MINISTER
an inheritance the people care about
and fight for, as they should.
If we want to pursue this project,
we must win their favor.
Princess, why wait?
Why do we even have to waste money
when in fact,
they are the ones in the wrong?
They are actually breaking the law.
Its a hazard zone!
Gentlemen,
they wont just lose their homes
but also their livelihoods once this
mining project pushes through
To punish them, on top of their loss,
is too much.
People might think that the kingdom
has no compassion for them.
Princess Matimyas,
if they are fighting
for their right to the land,
it is but our duty, including you,
to execute the laws of the kingdom.
Regarding that matter,
arent you the one who spearheaded
disaster mitigation initiatives?
If ever those people made a mistake in
building their houses by the shore,
dont you think that it was your fault to
begin with, for failing to guide them?
Im not insinuating anything.
I just want to know
if our laws are being
implemented efficiently.
PARLIAMENT OF THE KINGDOM
Are we truly free?
Many are still bound by poverty
due to the selfish
interests of a select few!
The bounty of the sea is
not enough for their greed.
They wish to run it dry.
This royal wedding is a wedding
of two capitalist kings,
done only to formalize the pillage
of our land by foreign countries.
Are we just going to be silent
and turn a blind eye?!
No!
The tyrant king must fall!
Protect our seas and soil!
The tyrant king must fall!
Protect our seas and soil!
What is she doing here?
I am here to listen to all your concerns.
Youre such a hypocrite!
Since when did the king ever listen?!
Thats right!
The king hardly listens.
Lucky for you, Im not the king.
You cant fool us!
Get lost!
Serves her right!
Stop it!
Royal Guards
Get out of the way!
thats enough.
Well
Now that youve vented your anger.
What can I do for you?
Let's sit.
Gracing this tournament with his presence,
let us give a warm welcome to our prince!
He who has the blood of Bathala
the firstborn of the king,
convener of the Datu,
the Prince of the Malaya,
Prince Bagwis Nandula!
All glory to our prince!
Lets give it up for the prince!
Your Highness,
we would like to offer you this game.
Please give
the defeated his final verdict.
Shall he live or be
sacrificed to the gods?
Live or die?
POWER SHOWDOWN
And the winner is Buhawi!
Whats the highest bet for today?
-Three million from that foreigner.
-Let's give it up
for Dagul and Barok.
Is he the one currently building
a casino in Sapang Bakawan?
Yes.
Double my bet to six
to keep our guest excited.
As you command.
And one more shot for my new friend.
As you wish, Your Highness.
Ladies and gentlemen,
are you ready for the next match?
Prince Bagwis
himself will choose the blades.
And there we have it!
Thank you so much, Your Highness!
Lets give it up for Dagul and Barok!
If I win this match,
I can finally pay off my debt.
Play the crowd right and
you might even become a free man.
This will definitely be a good match.
Let the battle begin!
Place your bets!
Keep them coming!
He slashed his opponent!
This fight is getting more intense!
Now, its the other fighting cocks turn!
Finish him!
Hes got a severe cut!
And hes down!
I yield! I yield!
Whats your verdict?
Let him live or die?
Let him live or die?
Your Highness, Ill do anything,
just please, spare me!
Your Highness,
thank you so much!
-I owe you my life!
-Indeed.
A debt you shall pay whenever
and however I bid you.
Go ahead,
enjoy your day while you still can.
The winner!
Once again, lets give it up for Dagul!
Thank you so much, ladies and gentlemen!
Silay?
The land beneath
your home will be painted in hues
of steel rusted orange.
A crown of gold.
A blood red moon.
Signs of a new chapter.
Your Royal Highness
There will be bloodshed
There will be
bloodshed within your family.
Tim!
Where were you earlier?
The council had noticed your absence
during the meeting.
I had to deal with something
that couldnt be resolved by
holding meetings.
Dont worry. I got something for you,
a new fighting cock.
It might be useful for you.
Youre the future king.
Please, act like it.
You act like it!
Who says I dont?
Im doing everything in
my power to hold you up.
All Im asking is for you to at least pull
your weight while I support you.
And one more thing
Please dont give the king any
more reason to criticize you.
Youre well aware that Im so confident
because I have full trust in you.
I just dont want to get in the way
of your shot.
Youre trending yet again.
Im also a keen observer.
Thats not what I mean
Well, never mind.
Father,
this is what Ive chosen for the wedding.
How did you get that?
Isnt it lovely?
Its not full of gold
or gems but its unique,
especially since it has the face of
Bakunawa.
A reminder not to let
greed and excess consume you.
-Your Royal Highness.
-Your Royal Highness.
Big Sister, Big Brother.
Grandfather! Grandfather!
Please give me your blessing.
May the blessing of
Bathala be upon you, Felipe.
I had your favorite dessert prepared.
Lualhati
this one has history,
remarkable.
I really admire your taste.
Big Sister, Big Brother,
how was your day?
-Bagwis?
-Father!
Remember the foreigner whos been
bribing some military to build a casino?
I've had him arrested,
including their accomplice Datu.
Interpol is on to him now, too.
He has abandoned the unfinished casinos
and his properties.
No talk of work during meals.
What about Lualhati? Isnt
her wedding all about work?
Anyway, Father
Regarding the properties
left by the foreigner,
they can be used for housing programs.
Am I right?
Am I right, Matimyas?
We first need to assess
if they align with the peoples needs.
We need to consult with
the people were relocating.
By the way, Father--
Can we just talk about something else?
Im negotiating
peace talks with the rebels.
Youre just wasting your time.
Theres no reasoning
with those ungrateful people.
Have they responded?
Father, didnt you say that
They havent responded yet.
And besides,
I wont promise them anything.
I only mean to pacify them.
Very well.
At least we can keep
a close watch over them.
Bagwis,
any update about the bribed generals?
A rice cake is cooked by
heating both top and bottom.
I dont
I dont understand.
So that it wont get undercooked like you.
Those traitors must be
exiled in front of the people.
Or better yet, execute them!
They might even
recruit within the military.
Lualhati,
you should let us know if you notice
anything suspicious with the Thais.
Why is that?
The Head Priestess had a bad premonition.
Be extra vigilant,
especially with the upcoming wedding.
They might use that opportunity to attack.
The entire world is watching.
Therefore, you all have to watch out
and be at your best.
The Bakunawa kept circling around
and suddenly danced.
And the people screamed
-"Give us back our light!"
-"Give us back our light!"
And so, it spat out the last moon!
Since then, whenever the darkness
consumes the moon,
it has been the custom of people
to make loud noises
to frighten and drive away the Bakunawa.
The end.
Thank you, Tarek.
Please dont get married, Auntie.
Ill be back,
Ill come visit you always.
Good night. Its time for bed.
Nanny Mira, make loud noises
too when the Bakunawa shows up okay?
You can count on it, Prince Felipe.
Lu
About the wedding,
if you need any help just let me know.
even about your wedding night.
Is there anything you wanted to know
or try?
Its not in their tradition to practice
before the wedding night.
How backward.
How can the newlyweds
enjoy their first night
if both of them have no idea what to do?
You can still practice.
We can call for
a skilled one to lie with you.
But I will know.
One day, your unquestioning allegiance
will put your life in danger.
What does "quid pro quo" even mean?
Prince, the foreigner said that if ever
you give him a pardon,
In that case, we can
allocate it to the sovereign wealth fund.
More than 50% goes to the
kingdom from its revenue.
Its such a big loss.
Theres no quid pro quo involved.
Lets have a quick break first!
You better have come to an
agreement when I get back.
I also come here whenever Im having
a hard time sleeping.
I still miss her.
Do you remember when you were still a kid?
Even then you had a weak stomach.
Until one day,
they hung an amulet in your crib
to ward off illnesses and negative energy.
I dont remember anymore.
Amulet,
that was what your mother was to me.
Go on, you better get your rest.
And easy on the cockfights, okay?
What cockfight?
I told you,
the entire world is watching,
including me.
Everything must be in order on your
younger sisters wedding day.
Can I count on you?
Dont let your subordinates wait.
Father!
Please give it back.
This was your mothers.
And this is mine.
Its a twin Bakunawa.
Its a reminder that even we have
to obey the will of Bathala.
Oh, please, Father.
Its like you no longer want me back here.
I made a request to the prince.
That when the day comes that he
no longer wants you as his wife,
he must never lay a finger on you.
Instead, he must return to me
my most beloved daughter.
I love you just as much, Father.
My fellow citizens,
in just a few hours,
were going to witness
the historic union of the Malaya and Thai.
Behind me, the people
are going wild with excitement.
This shows how much our fellow citizens
love and respect Her Royal Highness.
My fellow citizens,
here comes our Prince Bagwis!
Here comes His Royal Highness.
Let us all give him a warm welcome!
Please, have a seat.
Excuse me. Why did we stop?
Sir, please wait for a while.
They are fixing
something on the other road.
Princess, get out of the car!
Stop resisting!
Just do as I say, Princess!
Lualhati!
Big Sister!
Get over here!
Where do you
think youre going? Get over here!
I need assistance!
Felipe!
Nanny!
Nanny!
Mother! Mother!
Mother!
Whats taking them so long?
Its embarrassing to the guests.
Where are they?
They got stuck in traffic
since the princess was late.
The Princess late?
Ready the car.
Secure the perimeter
within a 10-mile radius.
No one can get in or get out.
Father, whats--
Escort everyone to the safe houses.
Accompany the Thais
and keep an eye on them.
Is there anything
we should be concerned about?
Where is the Princess?
Thank goodness, youre finally awake!
Ive already prayed to all the gods and
ancestral spirits for your healing.
Wheres Felipe?
Wheres my son?
Dont worry, hes safe.
King, Prince, General Carpio
Our princesss vital
signs are back to normal.
Thank you, Head Priestess.
Father, Brother,
wheres our younger sister?
They have Princess Lualhati.
Based on the markings
of the fallen attackers,
they are rebels.
Princess, Princess
You havent regained your strength.
You need to rest.
With all due respect, Princess Matimyas.
Did they just
suddenly ambush your vehicle?
They have blended
in with the Royal Guards.
With the Royal Guards?
Royal Guard.
Those bastards!
Investigations are
ongoing for every individual.
If this is indeed an inside job,
the mastermind will soon get caught.
Father, I failed to protect her.
We have to get her back.
Pull over! Pull over!
I need some cigarettes!
Cigarette, please.
TOBACCO FOR SALE
Wait! This is not enough.
Wait! Your payment is not enough. Wait!
-Your payment is not enough.
-Ill pay you next time.
Drive!
Someones following us!
Who's that?
Stop!
Let your passenger off!
Push him off the road!
Lets see what youve got.
I said stop!
What a fool!
What's that?
Joaquin fell!
Pull over!
Princess?
Put me down!
What the heck, Mister!
Dont you understand, Mister?
Youre treating me like
Im just a sack of potatoes!
This is not dignified for a princess
or for any lady!
People might get the wrong idea.
They might think
theres something between us
or they might get lewd ideas.
That hurts!
You were saying, Princess?
All I want is a little order here.
Go get changed,
so we can start going on foot.
On foot?
-Cant we just--
-Your kidnappers will have a hard time
searching for you if we go on foot.
If you still want to live,
just follow my instructions, Princess.
Why did you save me?
Are you sure that Im
really saving you right now?
No.
But its enough for me
that you didnt harm me.
Or not yet.
Im just doing the right thing.
Which clan do you belong to?
Im pretty sure
that youre not just a farmer.
No farmer is that good at martial arts.
Ive noticed
that you have no markings on your skin.
That means you are of the Banished.
What treachery did your kin commit
against the kingdom?
The fathers sin is the childs sin.
And Im still paying the price even now.
In that case, help me.
Help me and I will restore your honor.
Trade me for ransom.
You must be starving. Take this.
Shouldnt we wash our hands first?
My countrymen,
I bring you tragic news.
Her Highness, Princess Lualhati
has been kidnapped
by enemies of the kingdom.
STOP INSPECTION STATION OF THE KALAYAAN
PLEASE BEAR WITH US. THANK YOU.
We humbly ask for your prayers.
Please help us find
and bring back the princess.
To all the people behind this,
were open to peace negotiations
and agreements.
However, if we forego honor and reason
for the sake of a revolution,
indeed theres
something wrong with our nation.
And these issues must
be addressed and rectified.
May the blessings of
Bathala be with us always.
Very well. Keep me posted, General.
Matimyas,
did Lualhati mention anything to you?
Someone couldve been keeping tabs
on her before the wedding.
Im fine, Father.
It doesnt hurt that much.
She hadn't mentioned anything, unless
unless shes having second thoughts
about the wedding.
Then, this might be intentional.
She could never turn her back
on her family, unlike
Get back to sleep,
you need to regain your strength.
Cant you ever forgive me, Father?
Ive welcomed you back to my home.
To your home, yes. But into your life
I made a mistake by eloping,
but Im already making amends, right?
Im doing everything
in my power to help you.
After losing your mother,
you became my pillar of strength.
When you left me for the son of my rival,
I felt like I lost
someone dear to me all over again.
I just fell in love.
And where did your love get you?
Children are
supposed to bury their parents.
But when you left
I buried something
that can never be unearthed.
Is that how you see me to this day Father?
Bathala knows
how much I love you, Matimyas.
I wish I could feel it again.
Come on.
Hang on, Sulo, my legs are getting numb.
Its not yet safe here, Princess.
-Hey!
-Ouch!
Are you going to stand or do you want me
to carry you like a sack
of potatoes again?
Fine. Im going now.
Just scream when the
wild boars are get here.
What?
Ouch! Ouch!
It hurts!
Sulo, wake up! Sulo! Sulo!
Are you okay?
Ive been trying to wake you up
but you wont wake up.
We need to keep going, Princess.
Sulo, wait for me!
Parliament unanimously agrees to
the proposal to place the entire kingdom
under a state of emergency.
Other nations, including
the United States,
Japan, Europe, also extend their support.
They are willing to provide assistance
in order to catch the criminals as
Your Royal Highness
the rebels have finally made contact.
The hand appears to be severely damaged.
In my opinion,
it will be difficult to lift fingerprints.
But Ill still submit this
for forensic examination
to confirm
it belongs to Princess Lualhati.
This hand doesn't belong to the princess.
Why would the rebels send fake evidence
that the princess is still alive?
They know well soon find out
that its not really Lualhatis hand.
Whoever planned this is really bold,
he has strong
connections with the military
and is powerful.
But who could it be?
The Minister?
A Rajah?
Wickedness starts in the mind and heart.
This is the message
of the ancestral spirits
The prince is the one responsible.
The fighting cock
he brought home from the cockfight
was the one
who drove for the princess that day,
and opened the door to evil.
If the prince is indeed behind this
I need to be certain.
Rosa, we just need a place to stay.
-Im sorry, youre the only
-Mother!
Sulo, this is my son
Kiko.
Kiko.
Rosa, this is
-Lu.
-Youre so beautiful!
Thank you.
And shes confident about it.
Why of all places, here?
The kid might be in danger.
Im sorry.
I didnt know that you have a son.
Wheres Kikos father anyway?
Ouch!
He doesnt have a father.
I'm the only one my son needs.
Lets eat!
Hope you dont mind, Pri--
Hope you dont mind, Lu.
This is all that we have.
Please, enjoy your meal.
Wow! Krill is my favorite!
In fact, we love pairing it with
different dishes for fun.
Whats fun for you is actually the
peoples means of survival here.
-Have some rice.
-Thank you.
During rainy season, when the shrimps
cant be dried under the sun,
the price is very cheap.
So, its better to
just eat it than to sell.
Why dont you just catch some fish?
For sure, there are many fish here.
We cant.
All the reefs have been exploited
because of your father.
The king wouldn't
consider marine destruction,
unless its for
the greater good of the kingdom.
Whatever greater good that is,
hopefully it would reach me, or us.
Mother, does he like you?
He can't take his eyes off you.
Just finish your food.
No conclusive evidence yet from forensics,
Your Royal Highness.
They are so slow!
Lets just burn the entire North to the
ground to force those rats out!
Your Highness,
many innocent people will suffer.
Reach out to the rebels in secret.
Ask for evidence
that they truly have the princess.
Princess Matimyas is still too weak
to negotiate peace talks.
This is not a negotiation.
Prince Bagwis,
I authorize you to do as you wish.
Your presence is greatly appreciated
and were honored to meet you.
The rumors are all true.
You do look
ordinary.
Wigan,
I have brought the kings
response to your message.
He will give you everything you want
in exchange for the princess.
He will give everything we want?
Anything?
Including your head?
Rosa, thank you so much.
Ill return the favor
when I get back to Manila.
No need.
Im now happy with a simple life.
I did dream of bigger
things once, however
What happened?
It didnt come true.
His anger is far more important than me.
I wont let anger
consume me as it does him.
My father is innocent!
Father!
Sulo
Breathe with me now.
Look at me.
Youre here with me.
What do you want?
First of all,
independence throughout the North.
Cease all kingdom operations.
Secondly, evict all believers of the
Church of Bathala from the North
to avoid treachery.
And thirdly,
this agreement is to be signed
in the blood of the king.
Thus, whoever succeeds him
shall not disregard this agreement.
And we will be
expecting that before midnight.
Are you completely mad?
It is an insult to rush the king.
If the king is indeed true to his word,
I believe that he will find a way.
Its such an honor and a privilege to have
your presence, Your Royal Highness.
We greatly appreciate your visit
to witness the princes pronouncements.
Even though were aware that his
words are just empty promises.
If the order comes from the prince,
then it shall be fulfilled.
Before anything else,
did you bring
the evidence that I asked for?
Go ahead, kill me if thats
what you want, but Ill take him!
How dare you deceive me and the king!
Youll face
the consequences of your deception!
Why are you being skeptical?
You want proof, right?
Theres your proof.
-Bakunawa.
-Bakunawa.
My sister wears a Bakunawa bracelet!
Deceiving us like this means you
really dont have the princess
or you already finished her and you just
want to make her family suffer!
We may not believe in the same God,
but we are all children to our parents.
This game youre playing is cruel.
And I swear to you,
I will avenge my sister!
Dont you dare laugh,
or else Ill slit your throat!
Bagwis, calm down.
If you really were brave enough,
I shouldve been dead by now.
Drop your dagger, Bagwis.
If you are not half-brained,
you will listen to your father.
-Bagwis!
-Or else you prove yourself
to be the imbecile you are.
Wait, the prince!
Bagwis!
Bagwis!
Bagwis!
My son
Was I ever good enough for you,
even just once?
Not just once.
Countless times, my son.
I never knew
that it's this cold in the North.
Do you think youve already won?
This fight wont end with my death.
Because a hundred
people will rise to continue my fight!
And those hundred people will
all die under my hands!
Royal Guards!
Your Royal Highness!
Only the civilians shall live,
for tonight will go down in history
as to how the arrogant Wigan
humbled himself before Bathala.
Do this in honor of your prince.
Do it!
Are you still a member?
Not anymore.
I quit when I gave birth to Kiko.
I never thought they could do this.
They are challenging the king.
Good morning.
We would like to sell our harvest.
Where is the market?
Just go straight ahead,
around two kilometers or more.
Hold on.
Can we ask for a glass of water?
Im sorry, my son is still asleep.
If your son is still asleep,
then whos dining with you?
Sulo!
Mother!
You better run.
What about you?
Well just slow you down.
Danger is after you.
I dont want to put my
sons life in danger, Sulo.
Again, thank you so much to both of you,
Rosa and Kiko.
I just need to finish this.
Go to Mr. Bundeng.
Tell him to come over,
we have some cleaning up to do.
Yes, Mother.
Traitorous scum!
What's the point of fighting
if they forget
their dignity in pursuit of liberty?
Take the life of an innocent child
for the sake of freedom?
How could they forget
if right from the start they werent
treated with dignity?
You rulers, are the ones who
have forgotten your duty.
"Protect our resources and heritage.
Take only what is needed
and share the rest."
But because of your greed,
youve also taken
whats rightfully theirs.
Mind your tongue.
Im still my fathers daughter.
As I am my fathers son.
He grew up believing in all of you.
And yet he was killed because of his duty:
"Love and serve Bathala.
Next, his chosen one"
"and last, your nation."
Why do you know that vow?
Your father was a former Royal Guard.
Why is it that the nation,
the people, are always the last?
Are you saying that you agree with
the rebels and their principles?
The people
who attacked earlier are not rebels.
No rebel has those kinds of boots.
They are military soldiers.
Youre in greater danger than I thought.
I couldn't find the princess,
forgive me.
Ive already warned the other
rebels at the next town.
This wouldnt have happened
if only youd followed our agreement.
To get her out of there
and give me a graze wound.
You nearly killed me.
You have so many rebels and yet,
you let a princess escape?
You even dared to
cover it up with a fake bracelet
and got the prince involved!
And you, military soldiers,
you were defeated by a mere farmer?
Hes not an ordinary farmer,
he knows how to fight.
He has no markings.
Ive already instructed my men to identify
him on the list of the Banished.
Well soon find them.
No need.
Ill just wait for their arrival.
STOP INSPECTION STATION OF THE KALAYAAN
PLEASE BEAR WITH US. THANK YOU.
Brothers!
I am Tarek, the king gave me an order,
so you have to let me pass.
Sulo, he can take us back to the palace.
Please let me pass.
Felipe?
Felipe?
My son
Dont cry, you might get sick.
Mother, nanny is already dead
as well as Uncle.
How about Auntie?
Where is she?
I dont know.
Its time for bed.
Ill go ahead. Thank you so much.
I thought you had quit smoking, Tarek.
Princess?
-Princess!
-Shush! Keep it down.
Princess
Who are you?
Youre probably the one
who kidnapped the princess!
Rebel! Ill report you to the military!
Keep quiet, Tarek!
My life is in danger with the military.
This is Sulo.
Hes the only one I trust
to bring me back to the king alive.
With your help.
Take this.
Please find something to cover your faces.
You have to pretend to be paid workers.
Thank you, Tarek.
By the way, how are they doing,
Felipe and my big sister?
They are safe.
But the prince
What was that?
Nothing.
I said you better take a rest.
This is going to be a long ride.
"Anyone who dares to harm
the one who has the blood of Bathala
-will face death."
-Father!
By the order of King Diwa,
the one who shall
take the life of the offender
is the second son of the king,
Prince Makisig.
Please, dont do it!
Father! Father!
Father!
We have arrived.
Princess, whatever weve been through
these past few days
and whatever will come our way,
please know that Im grateful,
for youve been such a good friend to
someone like me.
What are you talking about?
Were not parting ways just yet.
Ill still give you your reward.
Hurry up!
Careful, my goods might get damaged!
Watch your heads.
Wait, Tarek!
Who are they?
Cant you see? They are carrying my goods.
I have many deliveries and they are a bit
heavy, so I cant carry them on my own.
We need proof
that they are authorized to enter.
I give them the authorization.
Hurry up, my goods might get damaged.
Im sorry, Tarek,
but heightened security measures are
in place due to potential threats.
We dont understand who would
even dare to cause trouble
during this time of sorrow?
Exactly, poor Prince Bagwis,
he was still so young.
May Bathala guide him.
Apologies.
Im actually in a hurry thats why
I wasnt able to ask for authorization.
Come along.
Well, then,
just show us your faces and
the markings on your skin.
You! Identify yourself!
-Hang on, I was just tasked to bring this.
-Come here.
Lets check if he has
triangle markings on his skin!
-He has no markings!
-No markings!
-You have no markings!
-Come with us!
Wait!
Let him go!
Its Her Highness.
The danger isnt over yet
just because the snake is caught.
His followers still
possess his deadly venom.
All the rebels must die.
We're expecting your support.
Its Princess Lualhati!
The princess is back!
Shes alive!
I thank Bathala, youre alive.
Did they hurt you?
Im fine, Father.
Big Sister
But where is Big Brother?
What do you mean, Father?
Auntie!
Felipe!
Father
this is the man that saved me.
Please tell us your name, gentleman.
So we may honor your name.
I am Sulo,
Sulayman Tagum.
Royal Guards, seize him!
King, Felipe, lets go!
Hes not a bad person.
Hes the rebel who tried to harm my son.
-Thats all a lie!
-Father
Are you sure about that, Matimyas?
Absolutely.
If you'd allow me, I'll avenge
Felipe and Brother myself.
Let the law decide.
Seize him!
Wait! Father, he saved my life!
Law of Retribution!
"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!
All debts must be repaid.
Let the punishment fit the crime."
Id be a fool to
expect a fair fight against you.
Im nothing but dust
beneath the gods feet.
Therefore,
I shall resort to our ancestral law!
I demand the Law of Retribution!
My own life for the life of the one
who took my fathers life!
And who is your father?
Sigwa Tagum,
the Royal Guard of
the former Prince Makisig.
He was disgraced, his kin banished,
and killed by the man whom he
had served his entire life.
I challenge the king!
A fight to the death!
Take him to prison!
Whats the matter, my grandson?
Felipe
Father, you must deny his accusation.
Ill go talk to Sulo.
There has to be another way.
Father, you have to
decline the Law of Retribution.
Thats not possible.
Matimyas, explain it to your sister.
Go on.
The Law of Retribution is an ancient law,
bestowed by Bathala.
Whoever is called must respond.
Even the king?
Especially the king.
Father, please forgive me.
Matimyas
I am sorry it came to this.
Father
You do look like your father.
You remember him?
He wasnt just my guard and protector,
he was my friend.
Well, then, why did you kill him?
Me and my older brother, Prince Dagitab,
had an argument.
He threatened me with a knife,
so Sigwa defended me.
My brothers shoulder was deeply wounded.
"Anyone who dares to harm the one
who has the blood of Bathala"
Blood of Bathala?
You are mere mortals who set those rules,
not gods!
So who are you to say your lives
are more valuable than ours?
This belief is
the foundation of our kingdoms unity.
Whats the point of
unity if it only brings injustice?
Its hard to see the reason from below.
And its hard to see
the truth when youre at the top.
When you had me and my family banished,
you also denied me a good future.
I was helpless.
Even I was
helpless to protect your father.
Im already old,
and yet Im still not used to the weight
of the crown I carry on my head.
Its such a burden to implement
the traditions and laws
that are against my will.
Do we just have to accept that theres
nothing we can do about our fate?
There is always a way.
This encounter is proof of that.
Here you are, once again facing the
king you hated your entire life.
And here I am, facing the ghost
of my friend once more.
As long as we never forget the wrongs
that need to be rectified,
there is always a way.
If you are thinking that I would withdraw
my demand for the Law of Retribution--
I just wanted to thank
you for saving Lualhati.
And to ask for your forgiveness
for what happened to your father.
Thank you.
But I wont go easy on you.
You will honor me
by giving your all in the battle.
Even if I die
at least Ill die with honor.
I have one more request.
If you get lucky
and win tomorrows battle,
please stay by my
daughters side, Lualhati.
Defend and protect her.
This
proves that I gave
you my blessing to protect her.
I am of the Banished,
no markings on my skin.
Why would you entrust your
daughter to someone like me?
The true color of the heart cant be
found in the ink on ones skin.
Ill be forever grateful to you.
All his relatives will be banished.
And the markings on their skin will be
removed as a sign of his treachery!
Please dont kill him!
My father is innocent!
Thats enough, Sulo.
-But, Grandfather!
-You have to be brave.
Father!
My friend, you did nothing wrong.
Father!
-Father! Father!
-Sulo
Father!
Father! Father!
Good night, Grandfather.
Grandson, dont ever forget that
you have the blood of Bathala.
The blood that runs
through your veins is pure.
I love you, my grandson.
I love you too, Grandfather.
Pray before you go to bed.
Matimyas, wait.
Close the door.
This is not Sulo.
This is a rebel, not a Banished.
Youve accused an innocent man.
That only means one thing.
Its hard for you to accept that
your sister has returned
because you wish to sit on the throne.
Which you also wished for me
back then. Right, Father?
I was the one you groomed
to be your successor.
You have instilled in me
that I should rule the kingdom.
It should be me!
Are you also
responsible for the death of Bagwis?
Answer my question.
Are you also
responsible for the death of Bagwis?!
I could never hurt my brother.
And me?
Do you really hate me that much
for you to make me suffer?
I didnt know that you would be
challenged by that Banished.
How could you do this?
I just wanted you
to look at me the way you did before.
With love.
A love given freely, one that doesn't
measure my worth.
Love that I don't have to strive for.
Love that will never give up on me
despite my shortcomings.
Despite my mistakes!
Your Royal Highness,
my life is dedicated to serving you.
Please dont end it just yet.
Please be strong.
Thank you so much, Teban.
Let all be witnesses
to the fulfillment of the law of Bathala,
in the name of justice
A fight to the death!
Pay homage to the gods and to each other!
Let the battle begin!
Fight!
Father!
Father!
Father!
The life that
Bathala bestowed upon his son,
King Makisig Nandula
has now come to an end.
Without the kings order,
we will now follow the natural
order of succession.
We will proclaim
Princess Matimyas Nandula as our queen.
Truth comes in two forms
Whats right for you Is wrong for others
Theres white, theres black
Light and darkness
There are those who dominate
And others who submit
Some kings have no power
Some slaves possess
Greater freedom than others
Some soldiers fight themselves
The world has two sides
The world has two sides
The world has two sides
The world has two sides
The world has two sides
The world has two sides
These are the only laws
and bills that the king had signed.
I would like to discuss them with you
first before the meeting.
The world has two sides
The world has two sides
The world has two sides
The world has two sides
The world has two sides
Red suits you.
Its the color of life.
As well as death and blood.
Please leave us, close the door.
Matimyas,
is that how a future queen should behave?
What for?
My brother and father are already gone.
They are not here to celebrate with me.
Too much has already been sacrificed
and compromised for this.
I betrayed my family.
A priceless sacrifice for the kingdom!
Big Sister
You orchestrated everything?
My only plan was for you to disappear.
But why?
Why?
You really dont have any idea?
A ruler paves the way for the future.
If the prince became the ruler,
the people would
suffer under his iron fist.
And if it were you,
we will forever be slaves to foreigners.
But I never wanted the throne.
And Big Sister,
if the wedding had taken place--
If the wedding had taken place,
the king would forever be a puppet
of the foreigners!
You are meant as a payment
to the nations debts,
a captive to be used as a leverage
to subdue the king.
I would have solved everything.
I was ready to offer peace.
Take her away and keep her safe.
You will not harm my sister.
I was ready to face all the challenges.
Let's see you try that stunt again now.
I got something for you,
a new fighting cock.
It might be useful for you.
Live or die?!
I owe you my life!
You are the princes gift.
Take charge.
As you command, Your Highness.
I was ready to bring about change.
From the kings failure,
a queen will rise who will bring
light to the entire kingdom.
Mother!
Mother! Mother!
In exchange for the kings life.
Youre the one who killed him!
He shouldve been here to crown me!
I served as his pillar!
He relied on you.
But he cherished you!
Up to his last breath, it was still you.
I cant turn a blind eye
to your betrayal, Big Sister.
The people need to know the truth.
Where do you think youre going?
What the people need is food to survive
and a ruler to obey!
You cant stop us!
Matimyas, shes
the only one standing in the way!
Big Sister, dont!
-Big Sister, please, dont do it!
-Matimyas! We need to get rid of her!
-Big Sister, dont!
-Think about the nation!
Big Sister, please, dont do it!
Think about the future!
Big Sister, please, dont!
Mother?
Matimyas, listen to me! Matimyas!
Big Sister, please, dont!
Prison or kingdom?!
Mother!
Felipe? My son?
Its not what you think it is. Come here.
My son, come to me.
My son
My son, please, come to Mother.
Come here.
My son, its me, your mother.
Come here, my son.
My son
Princess
Why are you here?
You already got what you wanted, right?
Forgive me, Princess.
I wanted to take
revenge on the tyrant king,
but I never expected that
I would face a loving father,
a prisoner of his own throne.
And I didnt realize
that because of you and for you,
my heart had already let go of the grudge
Ive been holding onto for years.
The king asked me to keep you safe.
I dont need a savior.
I know.
Im the one who needs you.
Please, allow me to serve you.
I will allow you.
This is the only way I can throw
you like a sack of potatoes.
Everyone bears
witness to this historic day,
the coronation of the new monarch of
the Kingdom of Kalayaan, Lualhati Nandula,
the youngest daughter of King Makisig!
Our Queen!
Long live The Queen!
Long live!
Long live The Queen!
Long live!
Long live the Kingdom of Kalayaan!
Thank you, Tarek.
