Room 213

- ROOM 213 -

Do you know what a whore does?

Yes, sir.

Stand up.

Remove your underwear.

Put it over there.

Pull up your skirt.

You know what to do.

Happy Anniversary.

Let's go.

Why ?

We're finished here.

Come on...

even if you only reached 8 o'clock.

I know you had fun.

Maybe I'd reach higher

if you weren't barren.

Let's go!

To our Diamond Year.

Why are we doing this?

To make sure

history doesn't repeat itself.

Do we really need

to dwell on the past?

Why not?

I'm a changed person.

Until now,

you still won't apologize.

These games began

during a rainy season with no rain.

My husband got an assignment

to restore a derelict building.

It's ironic that he can fix

such massive structures,

but can't do anything

to fix our marriage.

It's easy to see...

he's more interested

in decaying buildings than me.

Wearing that hat

is what gave my husband the idea..

that he could be somebody else.

I wasn't in

when he first brought the hat,

but I know it was for me.

That's how he should affection

by bringing gifts.

No fanfare.

Sad to say,

this is as intimate as we got.

He told me to meet him

at his new building.

It is the first time he's done so.

This is a rare occurrence.

Why aren't you wearing your hat?

I thought you might want to keep it.

It suits you.

Come with me.

You know,

I've been dreaming for a chance

to restore a building like this.

This place has seen so much.

Been so many things.

As we toured the building,

he told me its history.

It was built in 1914,

A wedding gift.

For a "mestiza" from

South America.

Initially, it was made into

an office building.

Then, it was bought by

a Chinese businessman.

Modified, transformed into a hotel.

He told me how a guest

complained of smoke everywhere.

It was later discovered

that it turned out to be evil spirits.

This must be the deluxe suite.

Probably at first.

In leaner times,

it was used as a brothel.

How nice of you to bring me here.

Makes you wonder

what these walls have seen.

I took the hat and made a copy

of the keys to the building.

I figured ,

I should put the space to good use..

before my husband

ruined it with renovations.

According to experts,

rising temperatures attributed

to global warming will continue.

This is probably the worst drought

situation that the country has faced...

since the 70's where thousands

of hectares of rice were destroyed.

I wonder if what I see in the mirror

is what my husband sees.

Maybe what he sees is another person.

Maybe he sees the different woman

I can become.

I know

until now you think I will stray.

That hurts.

But I promise you,

History won't repeat itself.

Please believe me.

That was the first time

I saw that strange creature.

This girl who was so clearly

in her own world.

Father, please forgive me,

For my mistakes.

What's troubling you, child?

Why are you taking pictures of me?

Hal

It's nothing.

Do you live around here?

Why?

I see you around all the time.

So you're a stalker?

But I'm not the malicious kind.

You smoke'?

Yeah, I quit.

You know, I'm really happy

we saw each other again.

Where've you been?

I've been at the studio all day.

You have a new victim?

There's only one person

I want to victimize.

Look at me.

It was difficult to talk

after what we'd done.

But we somehow began to speak

about fantasies.

There's no water again.

The tank is full.

Well, there's still no water!

Fine, I'll call the plumber tomorrow.

You always put it off,

why don't you just do it'?

Sure, I'll call him now.

Then call him!

Do it now! Call him up!

You're always just sitting there.

Fetching water.

I thought it was something suitors

did in the old days

for the girl and her family.

I guess that all changes

once they're married.

You know

you could help if you wanted to.

I'm doing something.

What are you doing?

Come on, I'm doing something!

What are you doing?

I'm just asking for your help.

Can't you see

when someone's busy?

Will reach 50 Million Pesos

to rehabilitate the rice fields...

due to the El Nino phenomenon.

The rising temperatures

will also have an adverse effect.

on the supply of rice...

and raise prices on goods

like vegetables, chicken, and pork.

Because of this,

the government has decided

to create a committee...

for the rehabilitation of workers who

have been affected by the calamity.

You know

you could help if you wanted to.

I'm busy.

Hello! I'm your wife!

So you're busy.

Huh?

You're worthless!

We continued playing our games.

Desperate to attain our freedom

with our imagination,

Searching for passion in this sacred room.

You think you're a good husband?

Devoted. Hard-working.

But it takes more than that.

Ah...

Ah.

Ah.

Ah.

Ah.

Ah..ah..

Ah...

Aah.

Do you know what a whore does?

Dance.

But whatever we did...

We'd be as distant as before.

Love isn't just complicated.

It's a battlefield.

I know you got hurt.

I deserve it.

Maybe what you mean is:

It's hard when there is doubt.

If you have doubts

then why don't you just leave me?

Because you're my wife.

Really?

Hence all the experiments and

games you want to do...that we do.

Just so my eyes don't wander,

is that it?

Yes.

You know this is just ruining us.

It's the other way around.

What you call games,

Are what is bringing out

our true selves.

Well why don't we stop

playing games and do it for real?
