It's no longer in our hands.

Let's work on these local cases first.

This is important, too.

It's our national animal!

Sir, isn't the water buffalo

our national animal?

I have no f***ing idea!

National animal, national bird

We can name every national thing all day!

They're all confusing.

There's just too many!

I need to hear development

on the Haribon case.

Sir, wait

I haven't heard of anyone

taking over the case from Manila?

And, sir

All the passengers are locals

Not now, Domingo.

Let's just help each other here.

It's not just me who's f***ed.

It's all of us!

I have a boss too. Not just you guys.

- Sir!

- Mendoza.

Muzzle your dog.

- Yes, sir!

- And, Mandosa

You can't make a fool out of me again.

You owe me plenty.

Domingo.

What the hell is wrong with you?

What's happened to you?

Are you listening!?

I don't understand why you guys

treat the case like that!

And we call ourselves policemen

One week.

All it takes is one week before you

- Before what?

- Here. Read this.

- And then what?

- You heard what Chief said.

A Philippine Eagle is missing

in the sanctuary.

Open it.

They only found the tracker.

What tracker?

They tag the eagles

to track their movement and numbers.

So a Haribon is missing.

- And we simply need to find it?

- That's right.

Those are the kinds of cases

we solve here.

We used to have 32 Haribons.

Now, only 30 are left.

One was electrocuted near the cables.

The other one

Over there!

This is it

This is where we found it.

Water, sir?

Where's the body?

There's no body.

Only the tracker was left.

Look, there are markings

headed that direction.

You know

The eagles can no longer survive

outside the sanctuary.

The forests are vanishing

because of timber poachers

illegal loggers and fire starters.

The eagles have nothing left to eat!

Even their prey have disappeared.

They are starving to death.

If not for the sanctuary,

they would go extinct.

They no longer show themselves

It's as if they are always asleep.

Seeing one is like seeing a ghost.

They only show themselves to a chosen few.

- Sir!

- Yes? Where do these markings lead to?

Over there.

Who lives over there?

Diego and his daughter.

He's the caretaker of the land below.

It's only them now

after his wife died in childbirth.

Let's pay them a visit.

Anyone home?

Anyone home?

Good day. Is Diego here?

Someone wants to have a word with him.

He's not here. When is he coming back?

I don't know.

Young girl, shut your dog up!

He does not bite.

Have you sensed or heard

anything strange lately?

A loud noise or a gun shot?

Do you know what this is?

Kid?

Why were you in a hurry

when you saw us coming?
