in the compartment

while she was away from

her hotel in Macao.

So you see Mr. Allison,

no one has the bonds yet.

They are waiting in a

trunk at the Astor Hotel.

You will help me get them.

You will call up the

room clerk at the Astor,

and tell him you

are sending someone

to fetch Mrs. Allison's

luggage right now,

if you please.

- Hello, this is Stuart Allison.

I'm calling regarding

Ms. Kramer's luggage.

There's been a change

of plans and it--

What?

Could you repeat that please.

- Ms. Kramer has returned

here, Mr. Allison.

We have sent all her

luggage up to her room.

- Thank you.

- Never underestimate a

woman, eh Mr. Allison?

And I was so sure

she did not know.

Well, one step further.

I have never enjoyed

violence for its own sake.

But I am an old soldier,

and I have seen many wars.

Sometimes, it is the only

sensible recourse open.

(speaking in foreign language)

Goodbye Mr. Allison.

Girl, bad.

- [Marissa] He was your

friend and you killed him.

You killed him.

You killed him.

- You stay here,

I won't be long.

- This is as far

as I go, Stuart.

I'm not going with you.

- You can go or you can

stay, it's up to you.

- Goodbye Stuart.

(door shutting)

(footsteps)

(suspenseful orchestral music)

(dramatic burst)

- I didn't want to

run out on you, Stu.

I just couldn't take anymore.

He found the bonds in the trunk.

I tried to tell him I

didn't know they were there

but he didn't believe me.

You don't believe

me either, do you?

- You better get dressed

before the police get here.

- Leave me alone, Stu.

Take the bonds,

you've earned them.

- What are you trying to pull?

- Would you believe

me if I told you?

- You better get dressed

and come with me.

- No.

(clanking)

Better hurry, Stu.

I've already made my escape.

- Why Marion?

- Just found out what it was

I've been looking

for all these years.

- But they got a doctor here.

We can send for him right away.

- Stu, listen to me.

This is important.

If all you knew love.

It never ran out on you.

Ever soul charge.

She never existed,

and if she did,

I never had anything

to do with her.

Let go of me, Stu.

Let go of me.

(thudding)

(intense orchestral music)

- Stuart?

I can't leave you, Stuart.

I love you.

I love you.

(intense, dramatic

orchestral music)

Eddie Romero

Edgar Sinco Romero (July 7, 1924 – May 28, 2013) was a Filipino film director, film producer and screenwriter. Romero was named National Artist of the Philippines in 2003, and his body of work delved into the history and politics of his country. His 1976 film Ganito Kami Noon…Paano Kayo Ngayon?, set at the turn of the 20th century during the revolution against the Spaniards and, later, the American colonizers, follows a naive peasant through his leap of faith to become a member of an imagined community. Aguila situated a family’s story against the backdrop of Filipino history, while Kamakalawa explored the folklore of prehistoric Philippines. Banta ng Kahapon, his "small" political film, was set against the turmoil of the late 1960s, tracing the connection of the underworld to the corrupt halls of politics. His 13-part series Noli Me Tangere brought Philippine national hero José Rizal's novel to a new generation of viewers. Romero directed some critically acclaimed war films in the early 1960s, such as Lost Battalion (1960), The Raiders of Leyte Gulf (1963) and The Walls of Hell (1964). Along with Filipino-language (Tagalog language) films, he made English-language films that became cult classics, like Black Mama, White Mama, Beast of the Yellow Night, The Woman Hunt, Beyond Atlantis and The Twilight People and worked with American actors like John Ashley and Pam Grier. Romero's films, the National Artist citation stated, "are delivered in an utterly simple style – minimalist, but never empty, always calculated, precise and functional, but never predictable." Quentin Tarantino drew on Twilight People as an inspiration for his "grindhouse" homages.Romero is especially known to horror film fans for his three "Blood Island" films from the late 1960s - Brides of Blood (1968), Mad Doctor of Blood Island (1969) and Beast of Blood (1970), which he directed and co-produced. Romero later called his American-financed “cult” films – including the “Blood Island” series – “the worst things I ever did”. When the kung fu craze started in the 1970s, Romero turned his back on the international market for Filipino films which he had virtually created. After 1976, he made smaller, more personal "art" films in Tagalog.Romero was born on July 7, 1924 to Jose E. Romero and his first wife, Pilar Guzman Sinco. Married to Carolina Gonzalez, Romero was also for a time the partner of actress Mila del Sol. He had three children: film director and MTRCB board member Joey Romero, Ancel Romero and Leo Romero. Eddie Romero was an alumnus of Silliman University. He died on May 28, 2013. He had been suffering from prostate cancer when he developed a blood clot in his brain more…
