1 INT. INTERROGATION ROOM - NIGHT [PRESENT] 1
[MS: WALL CLOCK >> BOOM/TILT DOWN TO MIKE]
MIKE (Late-20s) is sitting in the interrogation office of

a police station in QC. Mike looks exhausted, confused,
and disheveled.
[XCU: ANXIOUS INSERTS]
He's wearing a long-sleeved plaid shirt over a white T-

Shirt. His unruly hair is draped over his face.
In front of him is a folder.
[MS: COBRA]
ENTER COBRA (Early-40s)... with a two cups of coffee.
Cora Bruno aka COBRA, works for the Internal Affairs

Division of the Metro Police Department. Cobra looks more
like a journalist than a police officer. She doesn't even
carry a gun. She's a frail woman, with short boyish hair,
and gold-rimmed glasses with thick lenses. She speaks
with a kind, motherly tone.
COBRA
Hi...
(sits down; slides a cup of
coffee towards Mike)
Coffee?
[XCU: COFFEE >> TRACK TO: >> MIKE’S TREMBLING HANDS]
Mike takes a sip of the coffee; his hands tremble.
COBRA (CONT’D)
Do you want some sugar? Cream?
[MS: SUGAR/CREAM]
Cobra carefully places sachets of sugar and cream in a

very neat line, in front of Mike.
They're in the middle of an interrogation.
[MS: MIKE]
MIKE
Okay lang, Ma’am. Black lang po ako.
Mike opens the folder and goes through the photos. He

inspects each one, with stunned, dazed look on his face.
2.
[OTS COBRA: PHOTOS]
From the pile of photos, Cobra drags two and lays them in
front of Mike. They're PHOTOS of two men in police
uniforms.
[DEMME CU: COBRA]
COBRA
So... Paano mo nga pala na-meet ang
“Dalawang Sungay ni Satanas?”
[DEMME CU: MIKE - REACTION]

2 INT. POLICE LOBBY - DAY 2
A news report about random news updates.
[XCU: TV - NEWS REPORT]
NEWS ANCHOR
(on TV)
Pinaghahanap pa rin ang babaeng namato ng
kape, na nagresulta sa 2nd degree burns
ng isang babaeng sumasayaw sa gitna ng
kalsada. Kung may impormasyon po kasyo sa
babaeng ito, pakitawag lang po sa
hotlines natin.
Mike is carrying a camera. He's wearing a cap worn

backwards, and a loose long-sleeved polo, over a band
shirt. He looks confused and out of place. It's obvious
that this is not his regular job.
(a beat)
In other news, “Bukas ng gabi na po ang
pagdating ng inaantabayanang kometa.
Binabalaan po ang ating mga manonood
dahil, ayon sa mga scientists, hindi pa
raw sigurado ang maaaring maging epekto
ng gravitational pull ng kometa.
Enter, TITO MARTINEZ (Late-40s).
He is a staunch man with deep eye bags, and dark rings

around his eyes. He speaks in a slow, fatherly way. There
is nothing extremely remarkable about his tone. But every
word is said in a deliberate way, which makes every
statement sound like a death threat.

TITO
Ready ka na, Mike?

NEWS ANCHOR (CONT’D)

Ayon sa NCRPO, ilang litrato raw ang

makikitang pinatutuwad ang ilang
kalalakihang nakahubad ng drug
enforcement unit ng 14th District.
[BACK TO SCENE]
TRANSITION TO:
4 INT. POLICE LOBBY - DAY 4
Tito is looking straight at the camera. Behind him is the

Police logo. It says, "To Protect and Serve."
TITO
Ako po si Antonio Martinez. Pero, pwede
niyo kong tawaging "Boss Tito." Bale,
hindi sa nagmamayabang, pero ako ang boss
dito...
ENTER, Buboy. Buboy waves.

4.
TITO (CONT’D)
Hindi niyo naitatanong, kami ni Buboy,
may palayaw kami dito sa mga masamang-
loob ng distrito.
Buboy stands next to Tito and smiles...
TITO (CONT’D)
Ang tawag sa amin, "Ang Dalawang Sungay
ni Satanas."
4B INT. POLICE LOBBY - DAY [ADDED SEQ] 4B
Tito is checking the footage on Mike’s camera.
[3-SHOT: MIKE & TITO FG, BUBOY IN BG]
BUBOY
Para saan ba ‘yan?
TITO
Accomplishment report nga. Hindi ka
nakikinig sa brief e.
[3-SHOT: BUBOY IN FG, MIKE & TITO AT BG]
BUBOY
Puta, baka makulong pa tayo diyan.
Ebidensiya yan e.
TITO
Hindi. Para sa mga boss lang yan. Ie-edit
pa yan. Kukunin lang nila yung mga okay
na footage.
(to Mike)
Diba, Mike?
MIKE
Yes, Chief.
CUT TO:
5 INT. POLICE OFFICE - DAY 5
Buboy is SITTING AT HIS DESK, speaking to the camera.

He's talking about his work for the day.
BUBOY
Ako po si Ben Santiago. "Buboy" na lang
po, for short.
(MORE)
5.
BUBOY (CONT'D)
Isa po ako sa "Dalawang Sungay ni
Satanas." So, yung assignment ko ngayong
araw ay ang peace and order ng mga selda.
Tsaka, heto parang orientation dito...
(points to a police officer)
...kay "Dalaga."
Buboy throws something at Ian to get his attention.
IAN "DALAGA" DE VERA (Early-20s) is a male, rookie police

officer. He looks quite young. Ian doesn't appreciate
Buboy's harassment, but says nothing. Ian just shakes his
head.
TITO (O.S.)
Magpakilala ka, Dalaga!
IAN
Good morning, Sir. Ako po si Ian De Vera.
Wala pa po akong masyadong experience sa
pagpu-pulis.
(a beat)
Pero ang inspirasyon ko po, at ang guide
na rin, ay ang eight articles of the
United Nations Code of Conduct for Law
Enforcement Officials.
(a beat)
Yung, number one, “Always perform duties
under the law.
(a beat)
Number two, “Respect and safeguard human
rights.”
(a beat)
Number three, “Use force only when-”
BUBOY (O.S.)
Ulol, Dalaga, bakla ka!
Buboy and Tito are laughing at Ian. Ian goes back to

work.
BUBOY (CONT’D)
Pinagsasasabi mo d’yan?
(to Mike)
Mike, walang alam ‘yan. Ang tawag namin
sa kanya, "Dalaga." Alam mo kung bakit?
(saglit)
Kasi tangina ang kinis e. Yang intsurang
yan yung tipong laspag sa loob. Puta,
punit ang puwet niyan.
Mike raises camera; points at Buboy.

6.
BUBOY (CONT’D)
(saglit)
Kasi, kami dito, may pilosopiya kami.
Kung huhuli ka ng mga halimaw, kailangan
mas halimaw ka. Kung tatalunin mo ang mga
demonyo, kailangan mas demonyo ka. Kasi,
kung hindi takot sayo ang kalaban mo,
malamang niyan, ikaw matakot sa kanya.
Unahan lang ng sindak yan e. E, puta,
tignan mo yun.
(points to Ian)
Paano ka naman matatakot jan, e mukhang
virgin? Ako tignan mo ko... Ibaba mo
sandali yan, pare. Tignan mo ko.
Mike timidly PUTS DOWN THE CAMERA and looks at Buboy.

Buboy STEPS CLOSER; close enough for Mike to smell his
breath.
BUBOY (CONT’D)
Ano? ‘Di ba mukha akong rapist?
Mike doesn't answer.
BUBOY (CONT’D)
Sinadya ko yan.
Mike looks away. Buboy playfully moves to where Mike has

looked away to. They look like they're in the middle of a
"Flip Top" Rap Battle, and Buboy is trying to intimidate
his opponent.
BUBOY (CONT’D)
Kasi, kung huhuli ka ng rapist, kailangan
mas rapist ka. Kung lalaban ka sa
demonyo, kailangan mas demonyo ka. Ang
totoong pulis, nangre-rape ng mga rapist.
TITO (O.S.)
Hoy, Buboy! Wag mo pagtripan direktor
natin!
Tito walks past Buboy.
TITO (CONT’D)
Mike, tara mag-tour tayo.
MIKE
Excuse me.
Buboy spanks Mike’s butt as he walks past him.

7.
6 INT. POLICE JAIL CELL - DAY 6
Tito talks about their way of dealing with minors who

commit crimes.
TITO
Minsan, may mga nakasanayan kami dito na
matatawag nating unconventional, or
innovative.
Tito walks around the precinct like a documentary host.

He makes his way to the jail cell.
TITO (CONT’D)
Kasi, may ilang mga masamang-loob ang
under-18. Ang sabi sa itaas, wala namang
nag-aaksaya ng oras magpunta sa mga
hearing para ireklamo ang mga petty
criminals.
We see TISOY inside the cell. Tisoy goes near the bars,
excited to be on TV.
TITO (CONT’D)
kaya minsan, kami na lang mismo
nagpaparusa para magtanda sila.
BUBOY (O.S.)
Sample! Sample!
TITO
Wag na! Nakakahiya!
BUBOY (O.S.)
Sige na!
TITO
Sige na nga!
IAN sneaks into the jail cell and observes what’s

happening, curious of what Tito is saying. Tito sees him.
TITO (CONT’D)
Dalaga! Mag lunch ka na!
IAN
Okay lang, Sir. Nag-lunch na po ako.
TITO
Mag lunch ka ulit.
BUBOY
Bilis na! Mag-lunch ka na daw.
8.
IAN
Yes, sir.
As Ian leaves, he looks back at Tisoy and his superiors.
CUT TO:
7 INT. POLICE JAIL CELL - DAY 7
Buboy is interrogating a young man, while Tito watches.

Mike starts recording.
BUBOY
Hoy, Tisoy, may narinig akong tsismis.
May style daw mga snatcher. Para wala daw
ebidensya, minsan, ang ginagawa nila,
nilulunok nila yung nanakaw na kwintas, o
bracelet. Totoo ba yun?
TISOY
Sir, di ko po alam, cellphone lang po
kinukuha ko. Hindi naman po nasusubo yun.
TITO
Ano ba atraso niyan?
BUBOY
Nahuling nagbebenta ng nakaw ng
cellphone.
TITO
Na naman?
(a beat)
Nasaan yung cellphone?
BUBOY
(takes phone out of pocket)
Heto.
INSERT - PHONE
There is a picture on the screen of the phone. It's a

picture of a Chinese-looking woman.
BACK TO SCENE
TITO
Pinalitan mo na ba SIM niyan?
BUBOY
Hindi pa. Daming load e.
9.
TITO
Puta, Buboy, pati wallpaper ‘di mo man
lang binago?
BUBOY
Chicks e.
Tito takes a coin out of his pocket.
TITO
(to Tisoy)
Kainin mo nga. Tignan natin kung ano
mangyayari.
JUMP CUT TO:
VIDEO FOOTAGE; the camera is shaky, as Mike is struggling

to stay calm, but his hands are shaking. Tito is doing a
monologue, and in the background Buboy is seen holding
down the suspect, forcing coins down his throat.
TITO (CONT’D)
Violation ba magpakain ng barya? Torture
ba yun? Ewan ko. Define torture. Malawak
kasi yan e. Ano ba ang torture?
Yung hell, yung impiyerno, torture din
yun diba? Kung ginagawa ng Diyos, masama
ba yun?
BUBOY
(to suspect)
Kainin mo na kasi! ‘Wag ka nang makulit.
TISOY
(shouts)
‘Wag, sir! Hindi na po ako uulit! Sorry
po, sir!
TITO
Buboy, patahimikin mo nga yan! Nagvi-
video kami dito e!
BUBOY
(pulls out his gun; points at
suspect)
Nanlalaban ka? Nanlalaban ka?
JUMP CUT TO:
VIDEO FOOTAGE; Mike is taking footage of the "procedure."

Tito provides commentary like he’s watching footage from
Animal Planet.
10.
TITO BUBOY (CONT'D)

Anyway, Yung ginagawa namin Nganga! Puta, nganga!
dito, ang tawag dito, Nilunok mo na ba?
common sense. Minsan, para
magtino, kailangan
masaktan.
TITO TISOY
Nasa Bible yan, diba? May Sir, nalunok na po. Wala na
kasabihan na, "Spare the po.
rod, spoil a child." Dito,
sa katorse, may motto din
kami, "Spare the torture,
spoil the kriminal!"
BUBOY
Tito, nalunok na!
TITO
Dalhin mo na sa Purgatoryo.
8 INT. POLICE STATION - STOCK ROOM - DAY 8
Tito and Buboy take Tisoy, the suspect, to the stockroom

and throw him inside.
Tisoy falls to the ground.
BUBOY
Tisoy, ilabas mo nga yung barya.
Tito calmly GRABS A HOSE from the utility closet.
TISOY
Sir, sorry sir. Ibabalik ko na po lahat
ng ninakaw ko.
TISOY (CONT’D)
Aamin naman po ako e...
TITO
Okay ka lang ba? Mukhang nauuhaw ka.
Tito stands over the suspect. Tito shoves the hose into
the suspect's mouth, while Buboy holds the boy down. We
hear laughter.
Tisoy struggles, and struggles, and struggles...
Mike points cam at action.

11.
Tisoy stops struggling.
JUMP CUT TO:
VIDEO FOOTAGE; Mike is taking footage. Buboy is checking

Tisoy’s pulse.
TITO (CONT’D)
Ano? Buhay pa ba ‘yan?
Tisoy wakes up and starts coughing water.
TITO (CONT’D)
(smiles at Mike)
Buti nabuhay.
Buboy helps Tisoy up.
BUBOY
(laughs)
Ano, ready ka na tumae?
TISOY
Sir, parang awa niyo na, sir!
TITO
Baka mahirapan ‘yan tumae, Buboy. Baka
kailangan pa ng tubig. Sandali, kukunin
ko ulit yung hose.
TISOY
Sir! Okay na po! Kaya ko na po.
The suspect removes his pants and squats on the floor.
JUMP CUT TO:
There is poop on the floor. Buboy checks it.
TITO
Ano? Lumabas ba ‘yung barya?
BUBOY
Puta, wala?
TITO
Baka hindi talaga nangyayari ‘yun.
Tito grabs a few coins from his pocket and tosses it at

the mess the suspect made.
TITO (CONT’D)
O, ayan, Buboy! May barya na! Kunyari na
lang, meron.
(MORE)
12.
TITO (CONT’D)
(a beat)
Ano gagawin mo kung meron?
BUBOY
(to suspect)
Kainin mo.
The suspect, resigned, collects the coins from the feces.
Tisoy looks at Mike, as if to ask for help.
Mike looks away, but the camera doesn't.
The suspect miserably tries to blow and flick bits of

feces from one of the coins, as if doing so would
magically disinfect it.
The suspect, defeated, weeps as he opens his mouth.
Just as he's about to eat the coin...
The VIDEO IS PAUSED.

21 EXT. WAREHOUSE - NIGHT 21
Two men cross the street.
It's undercover agent, "PLAYBOY", with notorious

syndicate hit man, "ZED.”
Playboy is an undercover agent who specializes in buy-

bust operations, as well as human-trafficking operations.
23.
He has a bad reputation in the force for being a coward

who bails on operations too early.
At the moment, he’s holding a BLACK BAG full of marked

money.
22 INT. VEHICLE - NIGHT 22
On a van several blocks away, PDEA Agent Philip Perez,

aka “PEPE”, is peering at the WAREHOUSE with a pair of
binoculars.
PEPE (Early-50s) is a stern guy with a square jaw. He's a

straight-shooter. He's a model officer, immune to
corruption, but is prone to putting the lives of his
agents in danger, believing that everyone should be as
willing as he is to risk his life to get the job done.
With him is communications specialist, agent Honoraria

“HONEY” Pascual, another PDEA Agent, who is working with
Pepe on the Ed Ang buy-bust operation.
Pepe is outside the vehicle. Honey is inside; on the

passenger’s seat.
HONEY
Pepe, in position na ba ang asset?
PEPE
Kailangan na lang ibigay ng sindikato ang
drugs. Hintayin natin ang "green light"
ni Playboy.
23 INT. WAREHOUSE - ENTRANCE - NIGHT 23
A knock on the door. Door opens. The doorman is a young

Chinese man who looks like a cross between a Triad
assassin and a K-Pop idol. He is "HAN.”
Han opens it. Playboy and Zed enter the warehouse.
PLAYBOY
Nand’yan na ba si Boss Q?
HAN
(points at Boss Q)
Nandoon; sa taas.
Zed walks past Han.
HAN (CONT’D)
Ginagawa mo rito?
24.
ZED
Bakit? May problema?
HAN
Natanong ko lang...
(sarcastic)
Na-miss kita e.
ZED
Tangina mo.
(to Playboy)
Tara.
24 INT. WAREHOUSE - SECOND FLOOR - NIGHT 24
On the second floor is a long table. Seated at the center

laban sa Manila-based businessman na si
Quánqiú Zhengfú, alias “Boss Q,” kasama
ang ilang kilalang Chinese-Filipino
associates niya na sina, Zi Sidàn at Hàn

makakalabas ng bansa.

BOSS Q
Ikaw ba si “Playboy?”
Playboy gulps.
PLAYBOY

BOSS Q takes the BLACK BAG from Playboy and puts it on

the table.
HAN
(to Zed)
Na-check mo na ba kung pulis ‘yan?
ZED
(to Playboy)
Pre, pakitanggal damit.
Zed tugs at his own shirt.
The syndicate huddle over the bag to check contents.
Playboy removes his clothes.
They turn around and see Playboy is completely naked.
They’re stunned. Boss Q bites his lip. Zed scratches his

head.
ZED (CONT’D)
(shakes his head)
Ba’t ka nakahubad?
PLAYBOY
Sabi mo...
ZED
‘Yung T-Shirt lang pinatanggal ko.
Titignan ko lang kung may wire ka.
HAN
Magbihis ka nga!
27 INT. VEHICLE - NIGHT 27
[2-SHOT: PEPE & HONEY]
Pepe is tense. With his binoculars, he's observing the

WAREHOUSE. He's also looking at the roads leading up to
the meeting place. He shakes his head.

PEPE
Honey, wala pa rin ang drop. Wala bang
updates mula sa intelligence natin?
HONEY
Wala pang update, Sir.
PEPE
Nasaan na kaya ‘yon?
28 INT. TIGER'S HOUSE - NIGHT 28
A shot of a gangster-looking dude's face. The gangster

looking dude is OCHO (Late-20s).
[INSERTS: HOOD, BRAIDS, CHAINS, SNEAKERS]
He's wearing the works: hoodie, gold chains on his neck,

"Supreme" cap, and he looks like he's about ready to
freestyle rap.
Ocho squints. Mike and Tiger are fixing the lighting.

They're shooting an episode of "Huli Ka Balbon."
Tiger moves to the couch, in his usual metro-sexual

outfit. Mike is behind the camera.
MIKE
Game na?
TIGER
Ready ka na, Ocho?
OCHO
Sige na.
“Huli Ka Balbon!” 2ND OBB
Tiger and Mike are shooting a new episode of “Huli Ka

Balbon!”
TIGER
What's up viewers! Nandito na naman tayo,
once again, para manghuli ng mga balbon!
(a beat)
This is your handsome host, Timothy
Geronimo, aka Tiger, at ang special guest
po natin ngayon ay si Ocho, na isang...
Ano nga ulit work mo, men?
27.
OCHO
(apprehensive)
Part-time rapper. Also, may business
ako... Delivery service.
TIGER
Cool, cool! What do you deliver, bro?
OCHO
(evasive)
Basta. Iba-iba...
TIGER
Anyway, guys, si Ocho nandito ngayon kasi
gusto niya malaman kung lumalandi na ba
sa iba yung ex-girlfriend niya of 2-
years. Baka nga naman kasi naghiwalay
sila dahil sa 3rd party; hindi natin
alam.
(saglit)
Kagaya nga ng sinabi natin, itong "Huli
Ka Balbon" is really a public service.
Ine-expose natin ang mga manloloko, para
mabawasan naman sila. These days kasi, in
the time of dating apps, ang hirap na
talaga magtiwala.
(to Ocho)
Ano ba yung red flags na nakita mo bago
kayo nag-break ni- Ano nga ulit name
niya?
OCHO
Qi Bìngzhü.
TIGER
Ano? Bingo?
OCHO
Bìngzhü!
TIGER
Shitzu?
OCHO
Shy! Ang nickname niya, “Shy!”
TIGER
Anyway, Ocho, bakit mo naman naisip
lumapit sa amin? Ano ba ang naging
problema niyo ni “Shy?”
OCHO
Ang totoo, kaka-break lang namin. Chinese
kasi sila. Tapos, ako, half lang...
(MORE)
28.
OCHO (CONT'D)
Feeling ko, naging hadlang talaga ‘yun.
(a beat)
I work for her dad. Pero, pakiramdam ko
kinakahiya niya ko e. Nung sinabi ko sa
kanya na aminin na namin kay Boss yung
relasyon namin, hiniwalayan niya ko...
(a beat)
Until now, umaasa pa rin ako na
magkabalikan kami, kaya kung ano-anong
favors ginagawa ko para sa family niya.
Pero feeling ko kasi nag-e-entertain siya
ng mga Chinese na manliligaw.
TIGER
(Tiger obnoxiously points to
himself and squints his
eyes)
Chinese ba kamo?
Ocho is not amused; shakes his head.
TIGER (CONT’D)
(to camera)
Eto ang pampakilig! Guys, a few days ago,
nung unang lumapit sakin si Ocho, na-
mention niya na nagpalit daw ng
relationship status si Shy from “In a
relationship” to “It’s complicated.”
(to Ocho)
Pero, ayaw naman natin mag-judge agad,
tama Ocho?
Ocho is not amused; nods apprehensively.
TIGER (CONT’D)
(to camera)
Kasi may girls na flirty sa social media,
pero hindi talaga patol. Parang, pang-
massage lang nila ng ego.
(a beat)
Mga bros, inaya ko si Shy tonight to meet
me at a sosyal vintage bar, for a
“business meeting” kunyari. Pumayag siya.
So, magkikita kami tonight, I try to
seducer her, at doon natin malalaman kung
balbon siya.
(a beat)
Pero, as you all know, ako ang CEO at
founder ng seduction seminar na, "Church
of Pickup Artistry," for short ay-
(points at Mike)
Mike?
29.
MIKE (O.S.)
Bakit?
TIGER
Mike, sabihin mo sa audience kung ano
yung tawag sa seminar ko?
MIKE (O.S.)
Chupa.
Mike rolls his eyes.
TIGER
(laughs)
For my foreign audience, the reason why
I'm laughing is because "Chupa" is the
Tagalog word for fellatio, or in English,
blowjob. So, it's a pun on words...
(a beat)
Sobrang efficient ng tactics na 'to,
guys, that even nerds like Mike can land
chicks out of his league! Diba, Mike?
MIKE (O.S.)
Sabi mo e.
TIGER
Si Mike nga pala, guys, ay isang "artist-
slash-filmmaker," in Tagalog,
"proletariat."
MIKE (O.S.)
Hindi tagalog ang "proletariat."
TIGER
(laughs)
Pero, gf niyan, pare, lawyer. Tangina,
law-yer.
Judy is sitting with Jet and Steph.
JUDY
Bago mo i-post, lagyan mo ng caption,

Attorney?
ANDY
Dapat pababa na ‘yun...
Mark enters frame.
MARK
Pre... ano pangalan ng gang natin?
ANDY
Ewan ko, Mark. Puwede sigurong "Tong-Its
Gang." Kasi yung Tong-Its, sugal siya
diba? Itong gagawin natin, parang sugal
din.
GAB
Baka napano na si Attorney.
ANDY
Oo nga e. Worried na ‘ko para sa kan’ya.
MARK
Bakit “Tong-Its Gang?” Yung Mahjong sugal
din naman e. Yung Pusoy Dos, sugal din
yun. Yung lotto sugal din. Kahit nga
boxing pwede maging sugal e.
ANDY
Hindi ba mukhang tanga kung "Boxing Gang"
ang pangalan natin? Hindi naman tayo
boksingero e!
GAB
Baka naman absent siya? Uso denvaxia
ngayon. Baka nagka-denvaxia na si
Attorney.
ANDY
Dengvaxia ‘yung gamot, p’re. Dengue ‘yung
sakit.

GAB
Kaya nga. Baka nagkasakit s’ya.
ANDY
Naka-park kotse niya sa basement.

Nakita ko kanina.
MARK

Ba’t ang tagal mo?
TIGER
Sabihin mo mag-antay muna siya kasi
pinagja-jakolan ko pa yung ex-girlfriend

Tiger walks out of bathroom.
TIGER (CONT’D)

Gusto mo ng mabilis, Mike?
Tiger drops the towel, exposes himself, puts both hands

behind his back, and closes his eyes.
TIGER (CONT’D)
Chupain mo ko para mabilis.
MIKE
Tangina mo.

Tiger goes into a room to dress-up.
TIGER

Pare, nakita mo yung chicks ni Ocho? Hot
diba? Tingin mo dun? Patol? Feeling ko
balbon yun.
MIKE
Pare, ano tingin mo kay Ocho?
TIGER
Tangina, ako yung chick tinitignan ko,
tapos ikaw si Ocho, chine-checkout mo?
‘Wag ka na mag-ambisyon. Hindi magpapa-
chupa sayo ‘yun.
MIKE
Pare, masama kutob ko dito. Wag na natin
ituloy. Pikon 'yang si Ocho. 'Di sasakay
sa plano mo 'yun.
TIGER
Ano ka ba, Mike? Na-praning ka na naman.
MIKE
Pare, as a precaution lang, pwede this
time wag mo masyado kulitin yung babae?
(sharp tone)
Yung last episode mo, medyo bordering on
sexual harassment e.
Pokes head through door.
TIGER
Pare, ang babae, gusto nila yung fino-
force ng konti.
MIKE
Hindi, bro. That's actually against the
law.
Tiger sits next to Mike to put his socks and shoes on.
TIGER
Yung law degree pala parang STD na lang
ngayon 'no?
MIKE
Ha?
TIGER
Pag may naka-sex ka bang abogado,
automatic na abogado ka na rin?

TIGER (CONT'D)

Nahawa ka sa jowa mo ng law? Nakakahawa

for abogado?
Mike gives Tiger a disappointed look.
Tiger walks away.
TIGER (CONT’D)
Yung babaeng yun, pareho kaming lasing,
okay?
(a beat)
At hindi siya nag-"no"-
MIKE
Paano siya magno-”no” kung passed out
siya?
TIGER
Paano mo nalamang “passed-out?” Nandoon
ka ba? Nagtutulog-tulugan lang ‘yun, kasi
ayaw niya matawag na “palaka.”
MIKE
Anong “palaka?”
TIGER
“Palakantot.”

Tanda, tingin mo, ang lamay ba para sa
patay o para sa mga kamag-anak niya?
TANDA
Ano ba 'yang tanong na yan?
BATA
Diba embalsamador ka dati? Dapat alam mo
yan.
TANDA
Bata, ang burol, para sa patay. Kasi,
tignan mo: may mga taong mahirap, may mga
taong mayaman.

Hindi naman lahat nagtatagumpay sa buhay,
diba? Pero, pag patay na tayo, lahat tayo
pantay-pantay.
(a beat)
Kaya ikaw, Bata, ‘wag mo barilin ang
target sa mukha. Para naman mailibing
siya ng bukas ang ataol, nang makapag-
paalam ng maayos ang mga kamag-anak niya.
BATA
Ako, kung ibuburol ako, hindi siguro para
sa’kin. Patay na 'ko nun e. Malamang wala
na 'kong pakialam.

Ba’t ka nga pala nag-resign? Okay naman
d’un a.
TANDA
Walang respeto sa bangkay ang may-ari e.
BATA
O? Ano ginagawa?

May sira kasi sa ulo yun. Ang una niyang
ginagawa, kapag may bagong dating na
lalaking bangkay, e ang tignan ang ari
nito.
Bata stands.

Bakla?
TANDA
Hindi. Gusto niya daw makita kung tama
ang sukat at hugis nung kanya.

Kung tutuusin, wala namang nasasaktan sa
ginagawa niya. Patay na yun e. Ano naman
pakialam ng patay kung bosohan siya ng

galit ka sa bastos?

Bilisan mo.

Bata unbuttons his jeans, and turns to a wall.
BATA
Bakit ko naman hahawakan ari mo?
Bata inspects his own genitals.
TANDA
Ano ba ginagawa mo?
BATA
Ano ba dapat ang tamang hugis at sukat ng
ari?
TANDA
Kesa yung ari mo tinitignan mo, tignan mo
kaya itsura ng target natin! Baka kung
sino na naman barilin mo e.
BATA
Hindi ko naman sinasadya e. Tsaka, ang
tagal na nun. Hindi ka pa rin maka-move-

TANDA
Nung isang linggo lang yun! Puta, nahuli

BATA
Oo na!
Bata walks next to Tanda.
BATA (CONT’D)
Patingin nga niyan.
Tanda hands him a printed image.

Bago mo barilin, isigaw mo muna pangalan.
Pag lumingon, pag sigurado ka na, saka mo
barilin.

Walang pulis dito! Baka ikaw ang pulis.
PLAYBOY
E sino ba makakapagpahuli sa delivery?

TIGER
Okay lang, men. Yung plano, inom kami

Kaninong idea ‘yung kabobohang ‘yun?
[WS: PLAYBOY] INTERCUT w [MS: COBRA]
Playboy is sitting across Internal Affairs Service Agent

Cobra.
PLAYBOY
Ang sabi sa akin ni Pepe, sa Dalawang
Sungay daw po.
COBRA
Buti napapayag nila si Pepe.
PLAYBOY
Naipit po kasi ako sa basement...
(a beat)
Gusto niya lang ako ilabas.
COBRA
E hindi naman umabot si Ocho sa dropoff
a. Ano ba nangyari doon?
PLAYBOY
Hindi ko po alam. Si “Dalaga” daw yung
kasama ni Ocho.
COBRA
(to assistant)
Nasaan yung “Dalaga?” Ipatawag niyo nga.
93.
Moments later.
IAN
Ma’am?
COBRA
Umupo ka sandali rito.
Playboy stands to make room for Ian.
COBRA (CONT’D)
Bakit ‘yun ang napag-desisyunang course
of action ng mga boss mo?
IAN
Honestly, Ma’am, ang balita ko gusto raw
pagtakpan ng Dalawang Sungay ‘yung kilo-
kilong droga na na-recover nila.
(a beat)
Ang naka-declare po kasi, ten kilos lang.
Ang sabi ni Ocho, fifteen kilos daw po
ang delivery niya.
COBRA
So, entrapment na may halong korapsyon
pala ang plano ni Tito at ni Buboy?
(a beat)
Bakit hindi natuloy?
85 MONTAGE - VARIOUS PLACES - NIGHT 85
A. Int. Van - Night
Pepe is with 3-4 SWAT members and Honey, briefing them

about the operation.
B. Ext. Bar - Night
Buboy and Tito are putting on bulletproof vests and

arming themselves, "Rambo-style."
C. Int. Bar - Night
Ian is handcuffed on a lounge, while Shy and Ocho are

still fighting.
Ocho is drunk. Shy is bored, playing with Ian's gun. Ian

is still handcuffed. Tito and Buboy arrive. Shy hides the
gun next to her.
94.
SHY
Hay nako! Finally!
OCHO
Bakit ang tagal niyo?
Tito and Buboy see that Ian is in handcuffs and start

laughing. Buboy takes out his phone and starts taking
photos.
BUBOY
Tangina mo, Dalaga. Anong klaseng pulis
ka?
TITO
Ocho, nasaan baril mo?
Ocho gives them his gun.
BUBOY
Ikaw, Ian, nasaan baril mo?
IAN
Na kay Ma’am Shy po.
SHY
Wala sa’kin.
Tito and Buboy unlock Ian’s handcuffs.
IAN
(points at Shy)
Sir, may baril po si Ma’am Shy.
BUBOY
Doon ka sa labas, Dalaga.
(a beat)
Kami na bahala dito.
IAN
Sir, si Miss Shy po.
TITO
‘Wag ka nang makulit, Ian. Kami na nga
bahala.
Ian exits from view, but stays near the exit and
eavesdrops on the conversation.
TITO (CONT’D)
Ocho, ipapaliwanag ko lang ang options
mo.
95.
OCHO
Options? Ang kaso ko homicide, diba?
(sees phone; to Buboy)
Hoy, ba't hawak mo phone ko?
BUBOY
Gago! Akin to! Kinuha ko 'to sa snatcher
na nahuli namin kanina.
OCHO
‘Di mo man lang pinalitan yung wallpaper?
(points at Shy)
Siya yan o!
BUBOY
Gusto ko yung wallpaper e. Bakit ba?
(winks at Shy)
TITO
Madami kang kaso. Mag-cooperate ka na
lang. Ocho, wala kang option dito kung
hindi makipagtulungan sa amin.
(a beat)
Ganito. Kailangan mo dalhin yung package
sa dropsite.
(a beat)
Tapos, eventually, ipakikiusap natin sa
state prosecutor na gawin kang state
witness.
OCHO
Ha? State witness?
TITO
Sampung kilo ng shabu ang nahanap sa
kotse mo.
OCHO
15 kilos yung dala ko, gago.
A long silence.
OCHO (CONT’D)
Ah... Naintindihan ko na.
(scoffs)
Magkano “cut” ko?
BUBOY
Wala kang “cut,” gago.
OCHO
O? E paano kung umamin akong 15 kilos
dala ko?
96.
TITO
Oh well... Akala ko madali kang kausap.
Buboy, nanlalaban-
Buboy pulls out a gun.
The lights go out the comet causes another power

interruption.
GUNSHOTS!
When the lights stabilize, Buboy is dead, and Tito’s arm

is bleeding. Tito tries to reach for his gun. He’s shot
again.
SHY
Nasaan ang susi ng kotse?
TITO
Wala sa’kin.
Shy shoots Tito's knee.
SHY
Nasaan?
Tito gives her the keys.
Shy shakes her head and calmly takes the keys from Tito,
then shoots his face.
Shy finds Ocho; wounded.
OCHO
Babe...
Shy checks Ocho’s wound.
OCHO (CONT’D)
How bad?
Shy shakes her head.
Ocho starts laughing.
Ian SEES EVERYTHING. He reaches for his gun...
[XCU: EMPTY HOLSTER]
Ian doesn’t have a gun. He hides near the exit.
As Shy walks out, she takes Buboy's cellphone, which was

actually Ocho's phone.
97.
87 EXT. BAR - NIGHT 87
Shy is angry. She waks out of the bar ready to trade

bullets with the police. However, there is no one
outside, except for the fishball vendor.
SHY
Nasaan yung mga pulis?
VENDOR
Wala pa po, Ma’am. Baka na-traffic lang.
Shy casually walks to the car. The car drives away.
Moments later, Ian runs out of the bar and takes the
fishball stall bike.
The car stalls.
INSERT
The gas light is still blinking.
BACK TO SCENE
SHY
Fuck.
The stereo glitches and music starts to play.
OCHO
(on radio)
Nang marinig ko ang balitang, meron ka
nang iba,
palad ko’y biglang namawis, balat ay
namutla.
Humahanap ng sagot sa libo-libong tala.
Walang napapala, pero ‘di nadadala.
Shy nods to the music.
OCHO (CONT'D)
(on radio)
Parang makatang nalimutan kung paano
tumula,
kasaysayan ng pag-ibig nawala parang
bula.
Parang napanis lang na ulam, nginuya at
dinura.
Kahit rapper na maangas, napaluha ang
mata.
98.
She recognizes Ocho’s voice, and sheds a tear. When she

realizes that she’s crying, she turns off the music, and
picks up the phone.
We hear a phone ring. The Caller ID says it's Ocho.
BOSS Q
(nervous)
Han...
(a beat)
Ang sabi mo walang cellphone si Ocho?
HAN
Wala nga! Nanakaw raw kahapon.
BOSS Q
E sino 'tong tumatawag sakin?
Boss Q holds up the phone to reveal Ocho’s caller ID.
ZED
(points gun at Han)
Tangina, baka naman may phone si Ocho,
ayaw mo lang pakausap sa amin?
HAN
(points gun at Zidàn)
Si Ocho mismo nagsabi sa akin na na-
snatch daw telepono niya.
(a beat)
Boss, malamang pulis yan! Baka nahuli na
si Ocho. Etong si Zed kasi may galit dun
e.
BOSS Q
Malalaman natin!
Boss Q answers the phone. He puts it on speaker.
BOSS Q(CONT’D)
Hello? Nasaan ka na, Ocho?
SHY
Patay na si Ocho! Set-up yan!

flicker.
As soon as Shy mentions that it's a setup, Zed and Han

fire guns, multiple times at each other.
99.
We hear gunfire come from everywhere.
PLAYBOY
(shouts)
Huwag! Huwag! Huwag!
When the lights stabilize, Boss Q, Zed, and Han are dead.
Playboy is bathed in their blood. Playboy starts running

his hands all over his body, checking for bullet wounds.
Phone rings.
HONEY
(on phone)
Tigang ka ba? Tigang ka ba?
[Subtitles: "Okay ka lang? Okay ka

lang?"]
PLAYBOY
Ma’am... Patay na po sila... Patay na po
sila.
Ian is still on Fishball Vendor Bike. The car appears in

the distance. It’s out of gas.
Ian finally reaches the car. He huffs and puffs.
He reaches for his gun. He realizes, again, that he

doesn't have one.
Ian cautiously approaches the car.
We hear a voice.
IAN (O.S.)
Ayokong gawin 'to, Shy!
Shy checks the rearview mirror and sees Ian approaching

the car.
IAN (CONT’D)
Wag mong isugal ang buhay mo para sa
wala. Maraming nagmamahal sayo.
Shy calmly puts lipstick on, picks up the gun next to

her, and exits the car, ready to kill Ian.
100.
Shy exits the car and points a gun at Ian.
Shy notices there's a comet above and is distracted for a

moment.
A vehicle hits her.
CUT TO BLACK:
BLACK
We hear a horn, contact, and tires screeching.
We see Shy on the street; dead.
FADE IN on [OTS IAN: COBRA MS; FS: MIKE, JUDY, PLAYBOY in

the BG]
Mike, Judy, Ian, and Playboy are all in the same room.
Cobra is still trying to make sense of what happened. Ian
sniffs.
[MS: IAN] INTERCUT W/ [MS: COBRA]
IAN
(crying)
Ang sabi ko po kay Miss Shy, sumuko na
siya. Tapos, bumaba siya. Hindi niya po
napansin na may sasakyan sa likod.
(a beat)
Yung driver naman po, hindi raw po
napansin na may tao... Nakatingin daw po
siya sa langit; sa kometa.
COBRA
Bakit ka umiiyak?
[MS: IAN] DOLLY-IN TO: [DEMME CU: IAN]
IAN
(crying; incoherent)
Hindi po kasi tama... Ang dami pong
namatay e.
(a beat)
Tao lang din sila, Ma’am. May mga
pangarap din sila e. May mga iniwan din.
(MORE)
101.
IAN (CONT'D)
Kahit gan’on po sila, sigurado ako, may
nasaktan din po sa pagkawala nila.
(a beat)
Iniisip ko palagi, baka wala silang
choice, o baka gipit sila, o baka...
(a beat)
Ito lang ba talaga ang solusyon?
(a beat)
May nagsasabi “okay lang, adik naman yan”
na “tama lang ‘yan,” dahil mga kriminal
sila, pero...
(pupunasan ang luha)
Ang dami nang namamatay e.
(a beat)
Sorry... Na-overwhelm lang po ako.
COBRA
(shakes her head)
Ewan ko.
(a beat)
Ang alam ko lang, ilang buwan ko nang
iniimbestigahan si Tito Martinez at si
Buboy Santiago.
(a beat)
Ngayon, nasa morgue na sila, kasama ng
Philippines' Most Wanted.

COBRA (CONT’D)
(laughs)
Baka may kinalaman sa kometa.
Cobra stands.
COBRA (CONT’D)
(checks her watch)
Late na. Umuwi na tayo. Tsaka na natin
pag-isipan ‘to.
The people begin to leave. Mike stays behind.
ANGLE - USB IN MIKE’S HAND
MIKE
Ma’am, paano po ang investigation niyo sa
“Dalawang Sungay?”
COBRA
(shrugs)
Patay na ang suspects; patay na ang kaso.
(a beat)
Nakakaawa lang ang mga naging biktima.
(MORE)
102.
COBRA (CONT'D)
Dapat sana panagutan ng opisina ng
pulisya ang mga napinsala ng “Dalawang
Sungay.”
(a beat)
Wala e. Walang ebidensya.
Mike puts the USB on the table.
MIKE
Ma’am, baka po ito makatulong.

MIKE (V.O.)
Pero, hindi naman gabi-gabi may kometa...

Sections of the skyline glow and spark in-sync with the

The violence continues.
Only, this time, no comet appears over Manila.
