The grandmother wants to talk to Lucas the next day, because it will be his death anniversary.
After strange and paranormal occurrences haunt them at midnight, the Ispiritista, along with Laila, the grandmother's caretaker, found out that Lucas was killed by his grandmother, and was buried alive under the construction of the waterpump.

"Aquarium"
editJanice and her husband Benjie, along with their son Paul and their maid Aciana, just moved into a new condo unit. Janice discovers an aquarium with a mask left behind by the previous tenants. She becomes suspicious, but Benjie and Paul are intrigued. Janice later sees a mysterious old lady warning her not to touch the aquarium. At midnight, while Janice is taking a bath, she notices a monstrous hand peeking through the door, but it quickly disappears. After her bath, she is shocked to find a couple of goldfish in the toilet, but when Benjie arrives and she tells him what happened, the goldfish are gone.
One day, the old lady returns and once again warns Janice not to touch the aquarium. When Janice enters their unit, she notices that the ceiling is leaking. In Paul's bedroom, she sees that Benjie and Paul have already filled the aquarium with water, and she becomes more suspicious when she notices goldfish swimming inside. That midnight, as Janice and Benjie are asleep, water from the leaking ceiling drips onto her. She notices wet footprints leading to Paul's room. Upon entering, she finds all the goldfish dead and screams in horror. Benjie calls Alex, the local plumber, to fix the leak. Janice tries to dispose of the dead goldfish, but they suddenly come back to life. At that moment, she sees the old lady again, telling her to destroy the aquarium for good. Janice follows the old lady to her room and calls out to her, but there is no response.
As Alex works on fixing the leak, decorational seaweeds begin to emerge from the aquarium, causing his ladder to shake. When he falls and reaches for his flashlight, the seaweeds pull his arm into the aquarium. Meanwhile, the monstrous hand reappears behind Paul, who is in the bathtub, and begins to drown him. At the same time, Alex drowns as well. Janice manages to save Paul, but they hear Aciana scream when she discovers Alex’s drowned body, causing Janice to scream in terror.
The police arrive to investigate Alex's death. Janice tries to explain to Benjie about the old lady's warnings, but a policeman tells them that no one has lived in that unit for years. Later, when Aciana is putting Paul to sleep, the old lady appears behind the door, staring and slowly approaching Paul. Paul, scared, tells Janice that the old lady said she and her son were drowned by her husband in the aquarium and are now seeking revenge. Determined to end it, Janice decides to destroy the aquarium and grabs a rubber mallet. She asks Aciana to take the mask out of their unit, but as Aciana holds it, the mask suddenly attacks her, possessing her body.
As water from the aquarium starts flooding Paul's room, Paul tries to open the door but finds it jammed. He screams for help. Janice tries to break the door open but is interrupted by the possessed Aciana, who forcefully throws her to the ground. Benjie arrives at the condo to see what’s happening. Inside the flooded bedroom, Paul encounters a creature that looks like a Siyokoy emerging from the water, revealed to be the old lady’s drowned son. Benjie knocks Aciana out with a vase just as she nearly kills Janice. Janice tells him Paul is still trapped inside. Benjie climbs through the vent into the bedroom and destroys the aquarium, causing a portal to open and suck out all the water and the creature. In the end, Janice, Benjie, and their son reconcile.
