"Look, they're racing again." "You still want to try again tomorrow?" "It's been three months." "When will you finally go out with me?" " Just accept it." "You can't beat me!" " Why will I do that?" "Tomorrow I will beat you and you'll finally be my girlfriend." "You wish!" "Arah!" "Arah!" "Migo!" "We're eating tomatoes again!" "Hey!" "Migo might think that we're starving you." "We eat other food too." "Yes." "Pineapples." "But we eat those everyday too." "You're lucky you have food to eat." "There are a lot of people in the world who are hungry." "Hey, Dad." "Did you lose again, Migo?" "Ha!" "He'll never beat me, Dad." "He's been gone from Bukidnon for too long." "I may have been gone... but that doesn't mean that I've forgotten this place... or how to be a cowboy or you..." "I know what he's doing, Arah." "He's just letting you win so he'll have more time to make you say yes." "That's exactly what I did with Arah's mother." "Dad!" "Do you want me to tell mom?" "She'll come back and haunt you!" "Dad, dad!" "Look at what my classmate gave me!" "His brother just came from Australia!" "Look!" "Let me see!" " No way!" "This is mine!" "You can't touch!" " Unfair!" "Hey don't fight!" "Give me that!" "We'll cook this for dinner later." "Canned food?" "What we eat here is healthier." " I'll go ahead, idol." " See you, Migo." "Arah." "Tomorrow... you're mine!" "Cook faster, sis!" "That smells good!" "Do they have a lot of that in Australia?" "Of course!" "They eat this there everyday." " Is it beautiful there?" " Hmmm." " Do you know what a kangaroo is?" " Yes!" "There are a lot of them in Australia, just jumping around everywhere." "The houses there are bigger too." "The buildings gigantic!" "Life there is good..." "Mom wanted to go to another country, you know." "I'll be the one to do that for her now." "And when that happens, I'll make sure you, and Dad, and Anthony will follow after me." " Really?" "!" " Ouch!" "I want to go to another country, too!" "Ariel wants to be a cowboy here in Bukidnon, just like Dad." "Right, son?" "Yes, Dad." "There you are, Dad!" " You're so good, Dad!" " You're really the rodeo king!" " There you go!" " Take him down!" "He's down!" "Is Migo planning to stay here in Bukidnon for good?" "Him?" "A few months and he'll get tired of this place." "Then he'll just go off again and won't show his face here for a long time." "You're bitter!" " I'm not!" "That was a long time ago!" " I was there!" "Migo came here for a vacation and you fell in love." "And you cried so hard when he left." "Hey, I was sixteen and stupid." "But I'm wiser now." "You want to sell the ranch?" "What about your promise to Dad?" "I was the one who was left here with Dad when you and Mom left." "All I've ever done is take care of this ranch." "I want to do something else." "And besides this ranch is not profitable anymore." "You're just going to waste everything that Dad worked hard for, Mom?" "You've only been here for a few months... and you talk like you've worked hard for this place." "I've only been here a few months and I already love this place." "I've given this some thought, Migo." "I'm sorry." "But " "Now you want to run a ranch?" "In your first year of college, you wanted to become an architect." "In your second year, an engineer." "But instead of finishing your studies, you suddenly ran off... traveling around the world as if you didn't have any responsibilities " "This is what I want to do, Mom." "Think about it very carefully, Migo." "Here's what I owe you." " Are you sure you want to pay it now?" " You need it, right?" "My dad's going to buy corn seeds for us to plant." "Aren't you still paying for the money you borrowed when your mom got sick?" "How much do you still owe?" "Millions!" "My grandchildren's grandchildren will still be paying that debt." "It's so hard to earn money." "What if I just join that singing contest on TV?" "What's that show?" " TV?" " PD A!" "PD A?" "Are you serious?" "!" " They give you a million if you win." " Oh yeah?" "Let me see what you can do." "I'm so pretty..." "I know that!" "... as pretty as my long hair." "You're good!" "You're good!" "You know, I still wonder." "If we'd been able to bring my mom to the city faster... maybe we'd still be together now." "She was already worse before we could borrow money to take her there." "By then we were too late." "She said she didn't want me to become like her." "She didn't get to do what she wanted in life." "She wanted to teach abroad, see the world." "I still don't understand now why she didn't." "But I'll be the one to do that." "Will your Dad let you?" "That's fifteen pesos for the garlic, ten for the onions... five for the black pepper, and fifteen for the potatoes." "So my change should be fifty-five pesos not forty-five... because I gave you a hundred." " You're right." " I told you." "You Bautistas are really good at math." "Thanks." "Don't forget my change." "She really is smart, ma'am." "That's why I fell in love with her." " Right, Arah?" " Are you following me?" "Thanks, ma'am." "Last time I checked this was still a public market." "So it's open to everyone, not just you." " Right, bros?" " Right!" "Right?" "You'll pay for that!" "Wow, look!" "I want one of these!" "I'm sorry, Ariel, but we can only buy what we really need." "We have to stay on budget." "But I promise next time I'll buy this for you, okay?" "I wanted to wear this at the Kaamulan like the cowboys do." " But I don't have money right now." " Wait." " You want this?" " No, Migo, don't." "It's okay." "It's fine." "It's a gift." " Which one do you want, Anthony?" " This one." "There." "You can wear the same color." "Looks good!" " Wow!" " I look like a real cowboy!" "A cowboy isn't a real cowboy if he doesn't have this." " Thanks Migo!" " No problem." " This is great!" " Thanks." "Look at mine!" "Let's go!" "Okay, okay, you both look handsome." "How much?" " Dad, we have new hats!" " From Migo!" "Here's Migo." "Migo, will you tell Koboy that your ranch isn't closing?" "He's talking about going to Australia..." "I remember when there were still a lot of ranches here in Bukidnon." "It was a great time for us cowboys." "But now, everyone just wants to go to Australia." "While the cowboy tradition here in Bukidnon is dying." "Next thing you know... there'll be no cowboys left to join the Kaamulan." "That's not going to happen, idol." "The cowboys will always come back." "And we can't blame them if they want to leave." " The money's there, not here." " But that's just it." "Instead of trying to help here at home, instead of trying to revive this place... we're just letting it die because everyone's intent on leaving." "Don't worry." "We're all still here at the Kaamulan." "Look at Migo." "He came back." "What about it, Migo?" "You have to join the rodeo." "You're not a true Bukidnon cowboy if you don't." "He can't join." "He's not a real cowboy, anyway." "Arah's just scared because she knows that if I win she'll have to go out with me." " You really think you can win?" " Of course." " In any of the events?" " Any." "Even in bull riding?" "Sure." "Yeah right!" " Remember, if I win, you're mine." " If you can win." " What about it, idol?" " They can handle themselves." "Game on!" "Let the bull out!" "Let the bull out!" "Are you crazy?" "If you're not going to get hurt, you'll just be humiliated " "You're nervous." " You are nervous!" " You little rascal!" " That's just eight seconds, Migo!" " Get down from there!" " You can do it!" " Get down from there!" "You don't know how to ride a bull!" "Get down from there!" "Arah!" "Migo come down from there!" "Ready!" "Go!" "Migo!" "Migo!" "Migo!" "Migo!" "Migo!" "Migo, are you okay?" "Migo?" "!" "Call an ambulance!" "Fast!" " Aww!" "Aagh!" " You're still alive, you jerk!" "Did I have eight seconds?" "Is Arah my girlfriend now?" "Sorry, Migo." "Just seven seconds." " Again!" " Too bad." "But I'll ride another bull this time!" "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight!" " Arah!" "Arah wait!" " Hmmm?" "You were worried about me, weren't you?" " I'm fine." " No, let me." "You should let a doctor check your head." "You're delusional." " I'm not." "I saw you smiling." " Aaah..." "So it's okay with you if I ride again?" "Wait." "Wait." "Are you suicidal?" "See, you were worried." "My father gave me this hat before he died." "So this is important to me." "Do you know why I'm giving you something that's important to me?" "Migo, we have to practice for the Kaamulan!" "Okay!" "Arah!" "Hey!" "Your brother has decided to sell his share of the ranch." "We'll be looking for buyers." "If you want, we can sell your share too." "Maybe you should listen to your family." "Be practical." "If you're having problems with the ranch, and it's not earning anymore " "They don't know what they're talking about." "Mom left Dad because she couldn't understand ranch life here in Bukidnon." "And if my brother couldn't run the ranch... as successfully as my Dad did, I'm different." "I can do it, Arah." "You've been to so many places." "You've roamed the world." "Can't you see that life here in Bukidnon is too small compared to " "It's true when they say that home is where the heart is." "I went to so many places to find myself, not knowing that I'll find peace here." "Everything I need is here in Bukidnon, Arah." "There's no reason to leave this place." "And you're one of the reasons why I realized that." "Arah, Arah, wait." "I know that I hurt you." "But I came back." "And I'm not leaving again." "Just give me another chance." "I'll fix my life." "Help me make my dreams come true and prove them all wrong." "I love you, Arah." "I love you." "I love you." "I love you so much." "I can say that over and over again." "Don't you have anything to say to me?" "I'm so pretty, as pretty as my long hair." "Wohoo!" "You're even singing!" "What are you laughing at?" "Do you want me to stop?" " You think my voice is bad?" " No, no." "Even if my ears start bleeding, it's fine." "That's how much I love you." "Why don't we get married?" "We still have a lot to talk about, Migo." "You like it here in Bukidnon." "But I want other things." "For me." "For my family." "I still want to see so much, go to places " " I'll take care of that." " But " "No buts." "I'll take care of everything." "Okay?" "Okay?" "Tomatoes and pineapple for dinner again!" "You're doing it again, Ariel!" "What about this." "Your answer and pronunciation should be correct." "I eat, ate, eating, eaten, an apple yesterday." "Go." " I eat!" " Not eat." "Eat." " That's what I said!" " You said 'it'." "Eat." "And the correct answer's ate." "I ate an apple yesterday." "Why are you teaching me this anyway?" "You know I'm dumb at English." "You're not dumb." "You're smart in Math." "I'm teaching you so that when someone talks to you, you'll know what to say." "And you should have proper diction so you'll be understood." "Give me that." " Okay." "Just say this." "Eat." " What?" " Eat." " Eat." " Ate." " Ate." " Eaten." " Eaten?" " Eating." " Eating." " Ate." " Ate." " Eaten." " Wait, you're too fast." " Okay." "Eat." " Stop, stop!" "You're too fast!" "No more!" "Hmmm tasty, so sweet hmmm." "Hey Migo, that's not a pineapple anymore!" "Good day to everyone." "Welcome to the Kaamulan 2008 Rodeo Festival... here in Impasugong, Bukidnon." "The rodeo in Bukidnon started in the 1800s." "The participants come from different parts of the country." "Every year, they compete to prove... who the best cowboys are in the Philippines." "Cousin!" "Cousin Wayne!" " Hey, wait." "It's Dodong." " Uncle!" "How are you doing?" "When did you get here?" "Just this morning." "How are you?" "By the way, this is my boss." "Boss Brian, this is my cousin, Wayne." "He's the best rodeo cowboy in Bukidnon." "He is our king!" "Our idol!" "You will see him later!" "Good day!" "And this is his children, Arah, Anthony, Ariel." "That's Migo." "His family owns a ranch here." "Boss Brian's here to look for new cowboys for his ranch in Australia." "Do you want to go, Migo?" "You haven't been to Australia, right?" "I'm fine here, Mr. Dodong." "I'll be running a ranch of my own." " Is that so?" " Yeah." " Arah, Arah!" "We're next!" " Let's go, let's go." "Make them eat dust, Arah!" "Idol!" "Let's watch." "We watch, we watch!" " Nervous?" " No way." "Let me fix this." "Migo, what you said to Uncle Dodong a while ago " "That was supposed to be my surprise for you." "But let's talk about that later." "I don't want you to lose focus because of me." "Kick butt, okay?" "Hey you two!" "Let's go!" "Come on!" "Go Arah!" "Are you ready?" "Come on." "Koboy!" "Boss Brian, this is Koboy." "Bautista, Bautista!" "Bautista, Bautista!" "She's good, she's good." "You were great!" "Let's go, let's go." "We're next!" "My girlfriend's the best!" "How did you do that?" "It's our turn, Migo." "We have to win." "And if we do..." " you have my permission to marry Arah." " Dad!" "Then I'll make sure we'll win, idol." "How about that?" "Let's get married later?" "Migo!" "Let's go." "Arah, let go of him!" "Let's go." "Migo!" "Migo!" "Idol!" "Idol!" "Idol!" "Idol!" "Migo!" "Migo!" "Get hold of the tail!" "And the winner is Idol's team!" "Congratulations." "Idol!" "Idol!" "Idol!" "Idol!" "Hold it, Dong." "Idol!" "Aagghh!" "Dad!" "Dad!" "Idol!" "Mr. Bautista is in bad shape." "He has a slip disc because of the accident." "His spinal cord's feeling pressure from the cartilage surrounding it... paralyzing him." "You mean, he won't be able to walk?" "Well we can operate but that would be too risky." "His spinal cord might get completely damaged." "I'm recommending physical therapy." "In time, your father might walk again." "But we have a bigger problem right now." "Because of the stress that the accident caused to his body... your father suffered from a mild heart stroke." "We also discovered that   some of the arteries in his heart are blocked." "He urgently needs a bypass operation." "Without it, he will die." "If not now... then the next time that he will have a stroke which is highly possible." "I'll help you, Arah." "I'll just sell my share of the ranch." "My brother's just having a hard time finding a buyer right now." "But as soon as he finds one, I'll have my share sold as well." "Don't!" "You don't need to do that for us." "It's not your obligation." "We'll just borrow money like we did before with Mom." "No, I want to." "While we're waiting for a buyer, I'll talk to Congressman Velasco." "He worked with my Dad before." "And he knows your father as well." "Maybe he'll let us borrow money from him." "Are you okay?" "Me?" "Always." "Anthony and Ariel are with Dad at the hospital right now." "His operation's tomorrow." "Migo went to Davao to borrow money from Congressman Velasco... but I still haven't heard from him." "They let me advanced some-months-worth of my wages here." " But that's not enough." " What are you going to do?" "Arah!" "What is it, Uncle?" "I know someone who can help you." "Boss Brian's here, Arah." "I'm sorry to hear about your situation." "I'm just glad I can help." "Arah." "Thank you boss." "Arah!" "I've missed you." "I'm so sorry." "I wasn't able to talk immediately to the Congressman." "But he agreed to lend us money." "Don't worry." "I've taken care of everything." "I borrowed some money from Uncle Dodong's boss." "The Australian?" "Here, you can pay him with this." "I borrowed six months worth of wages from him." "Wages?" "For what?" "I signed a contract." "They need a cook in Australia." "Why did you do that?" "!" "Dad's surgery alone is going to cost us hundreds of thousands." "Then there's his meds and his therapy after his surgery." "We're not even done paying the debt we incurred when Mom got sick." "But I told you that I would take care of everything!" "I'll run the ranch." "We'll help each other!" "We both know you need money for that too." "What about the debts we have to pay, money to send my brothers to school... our daily expenses?" " I'm tired of living this way, Migo!" " We can find a way!" "I don't want to wait for another disaster like this to happen before I do something." "I'll only be gone for two years." "We can write each other." " Email." "We can call " " I don't understand you, Arah." "You said you loved me." "That's true, isn't it?" "That you want to be with me " "That's true, Migo." "Then why do you need to go?" "When we've only just started." "Because I need to help my family " "That's why I'm going to help!" "We'll help each other!" "We can do this!" "Migo..." "You know how important the ranch is to me, Arah." "I've finally found what I want to do!" "What I'm going to fight for!" "And I want you to be by my side when I do that!" "And if you really love me..." " you'll be there with me " " And if I tell you... that leaving is important to me, will you listen?" "Or do I have to follow what you want and stay buried here with you?" "Buried... with me..." "That's not what I meant, Migo!" "You don't believe that I can do it." "That's not true!" "This isn't about us." "I love you." "You know that!" "Then prove it." "Stay." "I love you, Migo." "I'm not leaving you, I'm just leaving!" "That's the same thing to me, Arah." "But if you want us to work, you won't leave." "I thought you'd understand." "You left once, remember?" "But you didn't hear anything from me." "You went from place to place to find yourself." "And you were pointed here, to me." "Why can't you give me that same chance?" "Migo, please." "Don't make me choose." "I need to do this." "I beg of you." "Please understand." "I love you." "I'll never understand, Arah." "Ariel?" "Don't worry, Dad." "I'll do everything I can to make you walk again." "I'll take care of you and Anthony and Ariel." "Our life will be better again." "I promise." "You'll be able to see kangaroos now..." "I hope I'll be able to see them too." "Yes, someday." "I need you to be a good boy, okay?" " Help Anthony take care of Dad." " I will." "Take care of everything, Anthony." "I will." "We'll miss you very much." "Be good, you two." "Don't fight." "Take care of Dad, huh?" "We will..." "Okay." "Your sister will be late." "No no!" "Okay." "That's enough." "Be careful there, sister." "Come on, cowboys don't cry." "Go on." "Just remember I love you very much, okay?" "Just wait a little while, Arah." "He'll come for sure." "Just wait." "He won't come." "She wants you to have this back." "You're a fool, Migo." "She loves you." "You should have just accepted her decision... instead of listening to your pride." "We'll be here at the campsite for six months... before we return to the homestead." "There's no signal or Internet here so your phones are useless." "If you need anything sent... just give them to me." "Boss' secretary will take care of it." "Just pick a tent for yourselves and get your things." "Come on!" "Arah, can you take this?" "Ina's not here." "She was sent to town for an errand." "She was supposed to help you but it looks like... you're making lunch by yourself today." "Hello mates." "Welcome to Red Rock station." "I reckon Dodong has filled you in on how things are done around here." "Now let's get to work." "We're burning daylight." "We'll be mustering Birrimba's paddock today." " And I expect lunch by one p.m. spot on." " Yes boss." " Okay let's get to work." " Let's go!" "Won't we rest for a while, Sir Dodong?" "We can't afford to rest here in the outback." "Let's go!" "Uncle!" "You're leaving me here alone?" "!" "Take care of the men's things." "You'll be fine." "You're the only person here, anyway." "Just look out for snakes." " Snakes?" "!" "But -!" " Remember what Boss said." "One p.m. I'll be coming by for the men's lunch." " But uncle..." " You'll be fine!" "Arah!" "You know how precious water is around here." "Get used to how things work." "Do you understand?" "Yes boss." "He's going to fire me soon." "I can just feel it." "Boss Brian's really just grumpy." "Probably because his wife left him." "But he's actually nice." "He treats everyone fairly." "You'll get used to him and his accent." "What's your problem?" "You need to pee?" "Just go and do your business." "But there's no bathroom." "Bathroom?" "You've been here a while and you're still looking for a bathroom?" "There's your bathroom!" "It's big and you don't even have to line up!" "Just forget what I said about snakes." "Go on!" "Or do you want to be sent back home to the Philippines because of kidney stones?" "Kangaroo?" "!" "Ina..." "Ina!" "Where's the camera?" "!" "Hurry there's a kangaroo!" "Make sure you unload all the feeds and put away where the rats won't get it." "Arah, what are you doing here?" "Boss... ah..." "lna... sick..." "She got toothache, Boss." "So I'm helping here." "Just make sure you have breakfast ready by three a.m. spot on." "Okay I do that." "Malnutrition." "That's why some of the cattle are weak." "They don't have enough grass to feed." "You have to give them feed supplements." "Can you recommend anything, Doc?" "Please help me." "I can't have any of the cattle dying." "I've just started." "Everything depends on this." "I'll see what I can do." "Thank you." "How's your family, Chris?" "My son said his first word." "Papa." "I was teaching him before I left." "I wish I could have been there." "Hey, what are you doing here?" "Why aren't you there with the cowboys?" "This isn't the life that I expected here, Ina." "You'll get used to it." "You will." "If life is a smiling morning." "And you are the earth being courted by the stars." "Though you can't see heaven" "though you can't see it, it is still there." "If everything has its end." "Then this journey will reach its destination." "And when you leave, the only thing I can give you... is love." "As the rain falls." "As the wind caresses." "Your memory is etched." "On the face of heaven." "The wind may not blow" "though it won't blow, you'll still be here." "If everything has its end." "Then this journey will reach its destination." "And when you leave the only thing I can give you..." "is love  is love  is love..." "A bunch of flies!" "One of them entered when he opened his mouth." " That's nothing with the dung I saw!" " Eew!" "Yuck!" "Boss." "Arah is really hardworking, huh!" "Yeah she puts her back into it." "Come on, let's celebrate!" "We won't be having this again for six months." "That's right!" "Cheers!" "Were you able to tell Dad to take Migo with them?" "Of course." "My cellphone bill will be sky high after that." "I'm so sorry." "I just really want to talk to Migo, you see." "I'm really amazed by your fighting spirit, friend." " There they are!" " Hey sis!" "How are you doing there?" "Can you see me?" "!" "I miss you all so much!" "Give me a hug!" " Kisses!" " I love you!" "I've missed you!" " Dad, where is " " Is it beautiful there?" "Like Bukidnon?" "What about the buildings there?" " Are they big?" " Yes it's beautiful here." "Dad, where is " "What about kangaroos?" "Have you seen one?" " Yeah!" "Have you?" " I have." "But they're aloof." "How are you doing there, Arah?" " Yeah, how are you?" " Tell us!" "I'm okay." "Don't worry about me." "I'm worried about you." "Don't forget to take your heart medicine, Dad." "And stop worrying about me." "I'm fine." "I'm happy here." "Arah..." "How is Migo, Dad?" "Were you able to tell him that I wanted to speak to him today?" "Ahm... yeah I did." "But I think maybe he has a lot going on at his ranch..." "It's okay, Dad." "I get it." "He still doesn't want to talk to me." "He still won't try to understand me." "It hurts, Dad." "But it's okay." "I'm okay." "What's more important is that you're okay." "If you're okay, then I'm okay too." "We miss you so much..." "Are you all right there?" "Boss..." "Do you need something?" "No Boss..." "I use Internet... ago." "Boss... your notebook..." "you... you add wrong e." "Look, sixty seven thousand dollars..." "But only fifty seven, boss." "I've checked it twice." "You must be wrong." "Hey dinkum I think you're right." "My mother, math teacher." "I go now, boss." "I wanted to prove to my family, even to Arah... that they were wrong about me." "But look how things turned out." "What are you going to do now?" "I'm thinking of selling my land." "Like what my brother did." "And leaving Bukidnon." "Why don't you try planting corn on your land?" "Think of other ways to utilize it." "Aside from ranching." "I really wanted the ranch to work out." "Sometimes things just end, Migo." "Like what happened to me after my accident." "A lot of things have changed." "Like here in Bukidnon." "During my time, ranching was the life here." "But Bukidnon is asking for something entirely different now." "And I need to accept that the life that I know and love is gone." "I think that's what you need to do, as well." " Boss..." " Arah!" "Come in." "Come in." "Can you do me a favor?" "When you pointed out my mistake..." "I realized I may have to review all the books." "Can you double check these for me?" "Ah... okay boss." "No, it's okay." "You can do it right here." "You hungry?" "No, boss." "You're pretty smart." "Obviously smarter than me in Math." "Did you go to college?" " Boss?" " University?" "College?" "You?" "Ah!" "No, Boss." "Only high school." "My... my... my mother is sick." "She... she die." "I stop." "I work." "I help my family... boss." "You love your family so much, don't you?" "You Filipinos, it's always family." "How about you, boss?" "You... you family?" "Nah... it's just me." "Wife couldn't stand me much." "Took off on the first train out of here." "Haven't seen her since." "Must have been the cow's smell." "She never really liked them." "You know, she was a vegetarian." "I reckon it's like Christmas morning here." "Your laugh reminds me of Christmas bells." "It's good that you decided to sell, Mr. Castro." "Your brother told me to wait for you to change your mind." "Please sign here." "What are they planning to do with the land?" "My clients are foreigners." "They might turn it into a vacation place or a resort." "I don't know why the truck is breaking down all the time." " I am losing time and I'm losing money." " Yes, boss." "Arah!" "Are we way over budget?" "No." "We... we are okay." "Boss." "Do not be bad mood." "When you in bad mood, your face is like this." "Sorry, boss." "Boss?" "You find real bookkeeper now?" "It's been long time since I don't return to paddock." "You don't have to." "What do you mean boss?" "You can stay here in the homestead." " Huh?" " You can marry me." " Marry?" "!" " Yeah..." "Marriage?" "!" "No no no no no!" "Boss, I don't love you!" "Lots of Filipino women marry Australian men they don't even know." "I trust you to be my partner, Arah." "We get along well." "We are comfortable together." "We make a good team." "Are you sure?" "Brian is kind." "He's not asking me to love him." "It's simple." "Uncomplicated." "No drama." "But what about Migo?" "I waited for him, didn't I?" "But you still love him?" "I'll force myself to forget him." "I can force myself not to feel if I have to." "Have you turned in all the books, Uncle?" "Yes." "Those are the numbers from paddocks JQ, Tuckarimba and Bali." "Okay." "Copy that." "Take care." "Over." "Cris!" "Cris!" "Has the vet visited Mary Rose?" "How's her cholic?" "It's okay now, ma'am." "The vet has checked her and given her some medicine." "Very good." " Hey..." " Hey sweetie." " How's your trip?" " Good." "Got some buyers." "They'll be coming to the station in three months to get the cattle." "That's great!" "Let's check the cattle numbers again." "Make sure we can meet the demand for the buyers." "Okay." "I will check." "And also, I will call the courthouse in Catherine tomorrow... because of the wedding." "Ah okay yeah." "And to tell them when is the wedding?" "Yeah..." "Next month, second week?" "My trip to Queensland will be over by then." "Okay." " How about the dresses?" " Oh yeah." "Our wedding dresses." " What do you call your dress?" " A monkey suit." "Well, you take care of all that stuff." "You know my size." "Get something from town." "But if you like?" "We can go as we are." "No fuss, no worries." "Okay." "I'll take care of everything." "Ah excuse me, Boss." "Mr. Kidman called." "He has a message for you." "Thank you." "Is Koboy Jr. moving in there already?" "Thank God, he's not doing karate moves in there today." "Brian!" "Who do you want Ina's baby to look like?" "Ina or Koboy?" "Either way would be fine for the baby." "Oh yeah, remind Koboy and Dodong... that the new stockman will be arriving soon." "Who?" "I don't remember which one... but Dodong took care of the paper work so you don't have to worry." "Okay." "You're getting so big!" "Just make sure that all the cowboys know our schedules, okay?" "Yes, ma'am." "You take care of everything here, okay?" " Hey!" " Hey sweetie!" " So where is the new stockman?" " In the back." "Welcome!" "Sweetheart." "We need to discuss some details about the cattle sale." "Okay." "Uncle, why didn't you tell me Migo was coming here?" "!" " Why, what's the problem?" " You know about our history, right?" "I know." "But that's in the past." "Isn't it?" "The buyers will be arriving soon." "I need all the cattle by then." "It's important we don't get behind schedule." "Don't worry, Boss." "He works hard." "We'll head out to the campsite tomorrow." "You can meet all the other stockmen there." "I'm sure you know Arah from Bukidnon." "Soon, she'll be Mrs. Sullivan." "Dodong tells me you used to run a ranch in Bukidnon." "I did." "What happened to it?" "Bankrupt." "I did a lot of things wrong in the past." "But I am hoping to make everything right again." "I'm not burying myself the way I did in the past..." "Sorry sorry sorry..." " Are you alright there?" " Yeah." "Of course." "If you work hard here, you'll earn a lot of money." "You can even start your ranch in Bukidnon again... if you play your cards right." "If that's really what you want." "I'm sorry Migo, but I need to ask you this." "Why did you choose to come here when you knew Arah would be here?" "You don't need to worry." "I'm not planning to cause trouble." "The truth is I didn't want to work here to avoid problems." "But this job pays well and I need the money." "That's good to know." "Hi sweetie." "Do you have the list?" "I got the men's grocery request from Uncle Dodong already." "Do you want to check the list that I write... so that Dodong and I will not forget anything when we buy to town tomorrow." "Okay." "I'll look at it later." " How's your therapy going, Dad?" " It's going fine." "Brian's worried about you." "That you're not being given..." "first rate medical care... there in the province." "He's consulting some doctors to find out the best rehabilitation center for you." "He's not obligated to do that." "I don't want him to think..." "Dad." "He really wants to help." "Promise." "Brian is kind." "Please believe that, Dad." "If you say so." "Can you please tell Migo... that there are some people asking about his land again." "How is Migo, by the way?" "He's okay." "Dad, I want to talk about..." " Hey there!" " Where have you been?" "How's Migo?" "!" "Can we talk to him?" "Is he there with you?" "Don't forget to stack up on cattle medicines." "We can't afford any of our cows getting sick." "Okay sweetheart." "Koboy!" "Koboy, let's go." "Boss told me to go with you." "He needs Koboy in the paddock." "Okay." "Let's go." "Thank you." "Good day." "Good day." "Gooday?" "Gooday, gooday, gooday, gooday, goday, goday..." "I think she said good day." "I still have to go to the store for the cattle supplies." "Then after that I have to buy some parts for the tractor." "Remind me about the cattle medicine later." "If you need any more spare parts." "Just let me know." " I'll get it here for you." " Okay." " Thank you!" " No worries ma'am!" " Okay, I wait for it." " Okay I'll catch you then..." "I wait for it, I wait for it, I wait for it, I wait for it..." "I'll wait for it." "What is your problem?" "!" "I'm just helping you with your English." "Well don't teach me!" "Maybe you're forgetting that I'm your boss' fiancé." "Do you know what that means in Australian?" "Respect me." "Do you understand that?" "Yes, ma'am." "What are you doing still standing there?" "You're holding my hand, ma'am." "Let's go!" "Arah." "Can you hear me over?" "Yes." "Over." "We're at Birrimba's paddock." "Can you come here and bring some of the meds?" "A couple of the cows are pretty crook." "Over." "Got it." "I'll be right there." "Over." "You forgot?" "!" "But I reminded you specifically!" "I'm sorry." "It was in the last of my list." "It slipped my mind." "How did it slip your mind?" "You know how important it is right now that we don't lose any of these cattle." "And the town is three hours away." "I know." "I am sorry Brian." "I can't believe you can be this incompetent, Arah!" "Boss." "It's my fault." "I am sorry." "I forgot to remind her about it." "I'll rush to town to get the meds myself." " I go with you." " No!" "Just stay here." "Brian rarely gets angry." "And when he does, it's mostly about work." "And it was my fault, anyway." "Is it really like this here, bro?" "Dead?" "Even all of you seem like zombies." "You just work without enjoying it." "It was not like this in Bukidnon." "This is certainly not Bukidnon, Migo." "And you call us zombies?" "We call that being hardworking." "We're still on a break, right?" "What if we liven things up a little?" "With a race." "Who wants to go up against me?" "To make things more exciting, let's bet on it!" "Stop that, Migo." "Just finish your lunch and go back to work." "Before Boss gets back." "He'll be gone for six hours." "What's a few minutes to relax?" "Work is not till an hour." "Now who wants to race with me?" "No takers?" "What about you, ma'am?" "Don't drag me into your foolishness, Migo." "Uncle's right." "Let's all go back to work." "Do you just keep saying yes now to what others say?" "Or are you just afraid that I would beat you?" "You know, I'm getting tired of everyone dictating what I can and cannot do." "Koboy, give me your horse." "Arah!" "This will just take a second." "I'm just going to teach him a lesson." "Woohoo!" "What did I tell you?" "You still can't beat me!" "But I made you smile." "That makes me the winner." "Did you confirm my schedule with the helicopter company?" "What did they say?" "They said okay." "You're not still mad about this morning, are you?" "Good!" "Come on then, off to bed." "I work hard." "I work good everyday." "I make one mistake." "But that's all." "I know and I appreciate your hard work." "But a mistake like that can cause us a lot in the outback." "That's why I was so angry." "I trust you to be efficient on the job." "And as my partner, not to make mistakes." "Remember Arah, you are part of all this now." "I'm sorry." "Here are the other meds." "Okay, ma'am." "Hey..." " Let me give you a hand with that." " Hey Boss..." " So Migo, your ranch went bankrupt." " Yes, boss." "But I plan to revive it when I have enough money." "So you still have the land?" "Yes, boss." "It's still there." "You left it?" "I can't picture leaving this place." "I love working the land." "I go to bed at night just looking for it every morning." "That's my life." "I see how much you love the station, boss." "More than anything." "More than a woman?" "I reckon." "My wife couldn't understand it but Arah does." "She's a great partner." "You miss your property?" "Yes, I do miss it." "It was also my life before." "But then I lost the most important thing in my life." "And what was that?" "The woman I love." "So you're a romantic." "No worries, mate." "You'll get over her someday." "My trip to Queensland is pushing through." "I'll be gone a week and I'll leave you in charge..." "Migo!" "Migo!" "Migo!" "What happened to him?" "The horse went wild!" "And Migo got kicked!" "Uncle, call a doctor!" "Let's bring him to his quarters first!" "Just be careful!" "Be careful!" "Well, he's bruised and he sprained his left shoulder." " Apart from that, he'll be fine." " Thanks Doc." "I'll have Koboy take you back to the helicopter." " This way, doc." " Okay." "Are you okay?" "Yeah." "I'm just concerned." "Arah." "Never mind." "We cannot avoid accidents while working." "Good morning." "Do you want coffee, Migo?" "Sure." "I'll make you breakfast." "Bread?" "How long have you been here, Ina?" "It feels like a hundred years already!" "Don't you miss Bukidnon?" "I'm used to it." "And I've already decided that my baby will grow up here." "I've only been here for a month... but I'm already salivating for dried fish." "Also the shrimp paste and pineapples!" "I was sick of pineapples before." "I didn't think I could ever miss them but I do." "One more thing I miss." "The Kaamulan." "The rodeo." "You know when I go there..." "I feel like a celebrity because everyone's... waving at you and talking to you." "Hey didn't you win at the rodeo, Migo?" "If I weren't here I'd be the rodeo king there now." "Yeah right." "You can't even last on a bull." "Give me that." "Do you remember that bull ride at your ranch after I challenged you?" "I seem to remember you falling on your ass." "Hey I almost won that time!" "I held on for almost eight seconds!" "And you know what he did after that?" "He suddenly jumped on Koboy's back and started shouting and counting... one!" "two!" "three!" "four!" "five!" "six!" "Because I really wanted you to become my girlfriend." "What's so funny?" "We were talking about Bukidnon..." "I thought you might be interested in reading these." "They've got great facilities." "And a good reputation as well." "I reckon your father will like it." "Thank you." "Excuse me." "Where's Cris?" "Please give this to Brian." "And tell him that dinner's almost ready as well." "What's your problem, Migo?" "!" "He doesn't love you!" "Love?" "And who loves me?" "You?" "!" "That's why I'm here!" "Arah, Arah, I know that I made a mistake." "But I'm here." "Asking for forgiveness." "And if I need to do so over and over again, I will!" "I thought the ranch and proving myself was the most important thing to me." "But even after I lost all of that and even... if I don't get them back, it doesn't matter." "Because my life is worthless without you!" "Stop it, Migo!" "We're finished!" "I'm done!" "Why?" "Because I don't have money?" "!" "That's the only difference between me and Brian!" "How dare you!" "Money." "That's the only reason why you're still here!" "I'm here for my family!" "Is that a sin?" "There's nothing wrong with working for your family!" "But to pretend that you love someone who doesn't love you!" "And how can you be sure that he doesn't and that I'm just pretending?" "You wouldn't talk to me!" "You don't know how it was like for me here." "How I felt!" "I love you, Arah." "I love you so much!" "What do you know about love?" "You say you love me but you're still judging me!" "You say you love me but you still don't understand me." "Do you know what I went through here?" "How hard it was for me?" "Having to fight against exhaustion and unhappiness constantly." "Even though all you want to do is cry." "Or go home." "Or run away." "But you still can't do it because your family is depending on you." "You don't know much it hurt." "Hoping each night that after months of suffering..." "I would finally get to hear your voice say..." ""Arah, I understand you." "I've forgiven you." "I'll wait for you."" "But you didn't come, Migo." "You left me all alone!" "Give me another chance, Arah." "I don't want to do this anymore, Migo." "Boss is leaving tomorrow and he had some last-minute instructions for me." "If you really love her Migo, you'll let her be." "You won't risk ruining the life that she has worked hard to have." "We both know that Boss will give her a much better life." "You don't have anything to offer her, Migo." "Just make sure you and Dodong stick to the schedule." "Yes." "Take care." " Are you alright?" " Yes." "Bye." "Bye now." "Are you okay?" "You're right." "I don't want to repeat my mistake in the past." "I was selfish." "I didn't care about what you want." "I only thought about myself." "And because of that I hurt you." "I don't want to hurt you again." "Tomorrow, I'm going back to the campsite." "And I won't bother you anymore." "Don't." "Don't do that." "I thought I was fine." "But then you suddenly came." "And you showed me how to laugh and be happy again." "And even though how hard I try, I still can't get you out of my heart." "I love you." "I love you so much." "Open it." "You'll look beautiful in that at our wedding." "You have to go." "You don't love her." "Let her go." "You told me that your work is the most important thing in your life." "You fought for it even at the risk of losing your wife." "Arah is what's most important to me." "Like you, I'm just fighting for what my heart wants." "What if we leave here?" "Come with me." "Let's go back to Bukidnon." "I didn't sell my land." "We can grow corn." "What's important is that we'll be together." "Are we really going to be okay if we do that, Migo?" "Knowing that we hurt someone else?" "I wouldn't be able to give you the life that Brian can." "But I promise you, we'll be able to take care of your family." "And I promise that even though our lives would be simple... it would be filled with love and happiness." "It's not that easy, Migo." "Brian wants me to leave immediately." "I want you to be happy." "So I'm going to accept whatever decision you make." "I love you, Arah." "And I will always love you whatever happens." "Are you leaving me?" "I'm sorry." "Are you leaving me?" "I don't want to hurt you anymore, Brian." "What about your family, Arah?" "What about your dreams?" "I love them." "And I will do everything to make them happy." "Then don't go." "But I also want you to be happy, Brian." "So I have to make the right choice now." "We both deserve to be happy." "We both deserve more than partnership." "We deserve love." "When my wife left me." "I didn't have the courage to beg her to stay." "Now I am asking you." "Stay." "But I love him." "Please." "It looks like good first harvest, Migo." "If you earn good money from this, this can be the start of something good." "I think so too." "If that happens, I'm planning to buy the adjacent land." "I want to thank all of you for your help." "That's okay, Migo." "That's right." "If we don't help you, my sister might get angry." "She won't get angry." "And besides she won't be coming here anyway." "You'll be the ones to go to Australia." "I'll just go check the other crops for a while." "See you." "Dad, where is he?" "He's there!" "Go after him!" "What are you staring at?" "You're here." "I thought you wanted to marry me?" "If you want that to happen..." "I really do hope that you'll finally beat me this time." "Hey hey." "You have to beat me first." "All I can offer you is a simple life." "I'll take it." "Whatever it is." "As long as you're there." "Subtitles by LeapinLar"
