[relaxing music playing]
[stewardess] Sir.
[young Javier] Ah, shit. Damn it!
-Sir, let me help you. Sorry, sir.
-[young Javier] No! Don't touch anything!
-Watch where you're stepping.
-[stewardess] I'm sorry.
[young Andres] Why did you need
your bag anyway?
And why did you bring
Dad's records on our escape?
[young Javier] Papa spent years
collecting all of these.
Brother Rafael,
did you bring Dad's artworks?
Well, how else
are we going to pay for things?
-[young Javier] Yeah.
-We're locked out of our accounts.
If we can sell some of these artwork,
things might be okay.
Thank you.
[music continues]
[young Andres] This is all you brought?
Be careful with those, will you?
[young Andres] Records like these
are best kept on paper.
[groans] There's no money
in paperwork, okay?
It's not worth anything.

BALARAW: BLOOD ISLAND
[birds chirping in distance]
[Bulak] Sarge?
Sarge! [panting]
[both grunt]
Sarge!
Sarge! Sarge.
[breathes heavily]
Are we alive?
-I think so.
-[Arturo panting]
Nobody said hell was…
anything like this.
Well, you sound pretty certain
that you'll be going to hell, huh?
Oh, so you're not?
Hey, where are we?
I don't recognize any of this. [grunting]
Yeah, neither do I, at all.
[sighs] I haven't even paid this off yet.
And where's Sabina? [pants]
Uncle?
Bulak!
Babe?
[sighs]
[leaves rustling]
[bird screeches]
[panting]
[bird screeches]
[exhales]
[panting]
[breathes heavily]
[coughs]
[birds twittering]
[Bulak] Sabina?
Sabina!
Is that my bag?
[panting]
Oh no, what happened?
[Arturo] It's just wet.
I think we should look inland.
Come on.
Oh, fuck you, Sarge.
[creature screeches distantly]
[man 1] Let go of me!
[man 2] Stop them!
[man 1] Let me go, please!
Let me go!
Fuck you!
[man 1 grunting]
[man 1 grunts]
[Sabina panting]
[man 2] Stand up.
Give it to me.
[breath trembling]
-[man 1 screaming]
-[Sabina grunts]
-[breath trembling]
-[breathes heavily]
[panting]
[man 1 screaming]
-[breath trembling]
-[suspenseful music playing]
[gasps]
[Sabina] Ah! What are you doing?
Leave me alone!
[man 3] Come on, get in there!
[screams]
[Sabina] Wait!
Just wait.
Sir, I'm looking
for my mother, that's all.
Rebecca. My mother's name is Rebecca.
Have you seen her?
Is she here?
Hey, wait!
Don't leave me here!
Stop! Come back!
Hey!
Who are you?
[creature screeches distantly]
Sir?
Where are we?
Sir?
[man 4] Where? No one knows where.
[Sabina] Perhaps you might know my mother.
Her name's Rebecca.
[man 4] Hmm.
No, lady.
We don't know anyone called Rebecca.
You're the only woman we've seen here.
How long have you been in here?
A few weeks.
A few months. Lost…
I lost track.
I don't really know.
I heard the man outside
say he's been here for decades.
Maybe he knows where your Rebecca is.
[clattering, door creaks]
[Sabina] Let go of me! [groans]
Where are you taking me?
[ominous music playing]
You're hurting me! Let go!
[grunts]
Leave us.
Rebecca is your mother?
Yes.
Do you know her?
How old are you?
Why?
Twenty-five.
It's good to see you, at last.
I'm Sabina.
Sabina.
It's so good to meet you, Sabina.
Sabina.
I am your father.
I am Ramon.
[music swells]
[pants]
Let's not take any risks.
What do you mean?
It's just an old lady.
Oh, I see.
Because she's a woman?
And because she's old?
Go figure.
[Arturo] What is it with you?
Why do you disagree with everything?
I'm just trying to educate you.
[Arturo] This is not
the right time for that.
-We need to work together.
-[Bulak] Typical man.
[Arturo] We need to be a team
because we're all alone here.
Are you paying attention
-to what I'm saying?
-Look!
-[Arturo] Are you listening?
-Look!
[stammers] Hello?
Ma'am.
What is this place? Where are we?
You're new here, aren't you?
You should be careful.
Don't let them find you here.
What are you saying? Careful of who?
You don't know.
You're new.
You don't understand the danger.
No one ever leaves this island alive.
We must find Aunt Becca.
Rebecca?
Yes, Rebecca.
It's like I told you.
There is no one
who ever leaves this place alive.
Go away! Run!
Leave this place now!
Go, hide!
[Bulak] Come on, let's go! Hurry!
What are you doing here?
[old woman] Don't you touch my things.
[man] Keep a lookout. There are intruders.
[fire crackling]
[wind howling]
[eerie music playing]
[Ramon] Sabina.
Let's go.
Come in.
This is your house?
Our house, Sabina.
It's ours.
Let's go.
[music fades]
Come in, come in.
Wait there just a second.
Sabina.
This is my brother, Rafael.
He's our eldest.
[Rafael] Keep still now.
[grunts]
Where are we exactly?
Balaraw is what they call this island.
"They"?
[Ramon] Yes, the people you saw earlier.
They're the locals here.
And you guys?
Oh, us?
We're just guests here.
But we came to love it a lot.
So, we decided to stay.
[groans]
This could need stitches.
So, you're a doctor now?
[Sabina] Nurse.
[groans softly]
So was my wife.
[clatters]
You don't need stitches.
You just need to keep this wound clean.
And you're good.
Excellent.
Time to go.
Go?
To your room.
You should be resting.
Are you really my father?
I think so.
You think so?
Twenty-five years ago,
that's when I first knew Rebecca.
And you're 25 now, right?
You said you never knew your father.
You never tried to find him?
Of course, I did.
I've always felt different,
like something was missing in my life.
I understand how you feel.
I've always felt that way.
And so…
the Lord is the only one I trust.
After all, there's no one else
to turn to, is there?
Where is Rebecca?
[groans] She just left,
right before you arrived.
Actually, what occurred is,
we ran out of clean water here,
so she left in search of a fresh source.
I shouldn't worry. She'll be back soon.
Why did she want to come here?
This is her true home,
where she naturally belongs.
She didn't tell you any of that?
[eerie music playing]
I came here with another girl
and also another man.
Have you seen either of them at all?
No. I'm sorry.
But the Lord will not fail us.
There are people
on the other side of this island.
They will look for them.
You must have faith.
The Lord never lets us down.
[music continues]
Okay. You rest now.
[bats squeaking]
[Arturo] Fuck, this is soaked.
[Arturo blowing]
[water dripping]
Do you think
we'll be safe enough here, Sarge?
-[Arturo] It's "Captain."
-Huh?
You know that I'm a captain,
so why call me Sarge?
[Bulak] Because you're a bully.
Those two men,
I have a bad feeling about them.
Plus, they were armed.
I can take the first watch now.
Then, we'll take turns.
[sighs]
[gasps]
Sarge, it's working!
-[sighs] Still no signal, though.
-[Arturo] Ah.
What do you really expect?
You can get some sleep.
I'll take the first watch.
I'll do it.
[Bulak] It's fine. I can't sleep anyway.
Tomorrow, we'll leave here
and we'll find Sabina.
[moody music playing]
[water dripping]
[low trilling sound]
-[squelching]
-[creature growls]
[creature screeches]
[creature trilling]
[wood creaks]
[sighs]
[floor creaking]
[footsteps approaching]
Ah, you're awake, are you?
Tea?
There's a woman in my room.
Ah, that would be Diwa.
I asked her to rouse you.
Oh, wait. You've not eaten at all?
I'm so sorry I didn't offer you
anything last night.
You must be starving.
Let's get you some food.
[birds chirping]
It's a small place we have.
Everyone has their own job to do.
So we can live well
in peace and happiness.
You see, most of our things
are recycled here.
Some were carried by the sea,
other things fell from the sky. [chuckles]
[man] Just a little now.
It just needs a trickle.
Doing a good job.
That's a good boy.
Good job.
No need to drown it, is there?
A little bit of water could go a long way.
[Ramon] Andres.
Meet Sabina.
Sabina, this is Andres, my brother.
Older brother.
Indeed. [chuckles]
Brother, do you happen
to have food in there?
She's very hungry.
I have vegetables.
Unfortunately, our meat supply
is a bit limited here.
Whatever you have is fine.
Andres,
we have meat enough to share.
Let's enjoy it now
that we have a special guest.
If you say so.
[mysterious music playing]
[creatures screeching]
[gasps]
Bulak?
Bulak!
Bulak!
Bulak!
Bulak!
[water dripping]
Bulak, what are you doing here?
[Bulak] I thought I heard something.
Wait! It could be a wild animal.
-[Bulak] Over here.
-Wait.
Be careful.
[Bulak] It came from here.
[mysterious music playing]
[Bulak] Are you seeing this?
[trilling sounds]
[Bulak panting]
[creatures screeching]
Let's go!
Bulak.
Bulak.
Let's go!
[Bulak] Look at this.
-[squelches]
-[Bulak gasps]
[Bulak] Fuck! Let's get out of here.
Come on, hurry!
[Arturo] Why did you touch it like that?
[panting]
-Hey, wait! Where are we going?
-[Bulak] Where else?
We've got to find Sabina.
This place is dangerous.
While you were sleeping,
I saw smoke over there.
Maybe that's where they all live.
[tense music playing]
Lord God, we thank You
for these blessings.
Not just for the food You have given us,
But we thank You for
our new friend who has visited us here
on our special island.
This, our island paradise,
which has brought us so much joy
and a perfect home for us all.
One we thought could only possibly exist
in Your divine presence,
we thank You for this.
For keeping watch over us
and protecting us as You do.
Amen.
Eat up.
[Ramon] You're not hungry?
We've been walking for ages.
Hey, you must stop scratching at that.
[Bulak] Ow!
[grunts]
Ah!
Just wait.
[hisses]
Can I ask you something?
Could I stop you?
Do you have feelings for Aunt Becca?
Feelings?
Why do you ask?
Whatever gave you that idea?
It's just that--
It's a hassle for you.
All this, at your age?
No offense.
So, I figured
that you must really love her
to be so dedicated to finding her.
I do love Rebecca.
I consider her as part
of my family, and Sabina.
Then why didn't you ever
come looking for her?
You've known for a long time
she was on this island.
I couldn't do what she did to Sabina.
I had responsibilities.
You really see her as family, don't you?
Just don't mistake me for family.
You got that?
Well, there you go.
Oh, don't mention it.
It was nothing.
Let's go.
Hey, wait, Sarge, I just gotta pee.
I won't be long.
[birds chirping]
[ominous music playing]
[inaudible]
Are they talking about my friends?
[Ramon] No.
If we hear anything about them,
you'll be the first to know. I promise.
It's probably some issue
at the campsite or something.
[Sabina] Where I was locked up?
[Ramon] You know,
we have a system here.
There are some who come here
who don't have, mmm, such good intentions.
When they're done proving
that they're not here to cause trouble,
then they can choose
to live with us or they're free to go.
It's that simple.
Of course, your case is different.
You're my daughter,
so I know I can trust you.
It's easy, you know?
What makes you so sure you can trust me?
[sighs] Come.
This is when I first met Rebecca.
Hmm.
[Ramon chuckles]
I have no proof
that you're really my daughter.
[Sabina] Who are all these people here?
Well, they're all marine
biology researchers.
But instead of doing research,
they all got lost here on this island.
[scoffs]
Who is this here?
[Ramon] Oh, that's Vedasto,
Rebecca's older brother.
She never talked about him?
There's so much she hid from me.
It's like I never knew the real her.
It's never too late, you know,
to get to know your parents.
You're lucky
that we're still alive. [chuckles]
My brothers and I,
we don't have our parents anymore to love.
But maybe…
not all parents
earn the love of their children.
I expect some abuse their kids,
and don't care at all
about their children.
I swore to myself that I…
I couldn't ever do that to my own child.
[ominous music playing]
[sighs]
[sighs wearily]
[grunts]
Ooh.
[music continues]
Sarge?
[Bulak screaming]
[suspenseful music playing]
Let her go!
[Bulak whimpers]
I said, let her go.
I know you came here from the ocean,
so your gun is wet.
-[gunshot]
-[man groans]
[Arturo] Oh, shit!
[Bulak] Run! Come on, let's go!
[man] Get after them.
[Bulak panting]
[Arturo] Hurry!
[man groans]
[eerie music playing]
[music intensifies]
[squelches]
[gasps softly]
[music continues]
[door creaking]
[Diwa] You shouldn't be in here.
[exhales sharply]
Is my mother really here?
[Bulak] Hurry, Sarge!
[Arturo] I am! I am!
[Bulak pants]
[Bulak grunts] Under here.
[Arturo] Oh, really?
[Arturo grunts]
[Bulak pants]
[Arturo] Slow down, slow down!
[Bulak panting]
[man 2] This way!
-[man 1] Hurry!
-[Bulak] This way, come on!
[Arturo] Why that way?
Let's just stay here.
-[Bulak grunts, gasps]
-[Arturo grunts]
Sarge, are you okay?
[Arturo groans]
[both grunt]
Sarge, are you hurt?
[Arturo] I'm good. I'm okay.
-You break anything?
-Nothing.
I-- I'm fine.
[man 1] Give up.
There's nowhere to run to.
[both panting]
-[gunshot]
