There she is.
Oh! Your nanny's here. Nanny Lena!
- Yumi's been waiting for you. - Mister Ray?
- Where's Abby? - Oh, hi, ma'am.
Your husband picked her up earlier.
- O-Oh, alright. Thank you. - Okay, ma'am.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
Abby?
Abby? Dear?
Abby...
[PANTING]
Abby!
- Mommy! - Abby! Abby! Abby!
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[EMOTIONAL MUSIC PLAYING]
Why are you crying, Mommy?
[BREATHES DEEPLY]
This is nothing, my dear.
Uh, Mommy was just worried
because you weren't at school when I got there.
[EMOTIONAL MUSIC CONTINUES]
I love you, okay?
Oh, you're here already.
I've been waiting for you. I cooked sticky rice balls.
Who wants some?
- Me! Me! Me! - [PILAR CHUCKLES]
[PILAR] Mmm... My grandchild...
Come with me, dear. Let's go over there.
I'll give you all the sticky rice balls.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]
Aren't you even going to explain?
Lucas won't press charges anymore.
Oh, wow! Should I thank him then?!
Should I be grateful to him after he slept with you?
How many times have you guys had sex?!
- Seriously?! - How many?!
- What kind of question is that? - Answer me!
Let go of me!
Tell me!
One.
We've only been together for three months.
[SCOFFS] Why? W-Why?
Did he promise to give you a promotion? Is that it?
I've worked hard for everything I've achieved!
- Then, what is it? - Stop it!
- Did you fall for him? - Ow!
Let me go! Enough of this!
- Enough! - No, tell me!
Did he kiss you or did you kiss him first?
- What?! - Stop it! It hurts!
Answer me, Liana! Is he good in bed?!
- Is he good?! - He's different!
How?! How is he different, huh?!
He's always around and he takes good care of me.
How?
Tell me! How does he take care of you?
- Is it like this? Huh?! - Hey! Stop!
Stop it!

[JULIANA SNIFFLES, SOBS]
Do you love him?
[SNIFFLES, SOBS]
- Answer me. - [JULIANA SNIFFLING]
Is that enough reason for you to ruin our family?
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
- [MOROSE MUSIC PLAYING] - [SOBBING]
Our family has been broken for years.
We've long been ruined.
[SOBBING] Ever since Marco died,
I could no longer feel you with me!
You left me all alone!
[SNIFFLES] I was alone at the morgue.
[JULIANA'S BREATH QUIVERS]
I was alone when I was picking...
when I was picking a burial plot for him.
I was alone when I was picking his burial clothes.
[JULIANA SNIFFLES]
You were nowhere to be found even during his wake.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
You only showed up on the day of the funeral.
But you just watched from a distance.
You didn't even come near me to try and comfort me.
You were not by my side, Victor!
Our child died, but you weren't by my side.
You have it all wrong, Liana!
Do you think I didn't mourn during that time?
There wasn't a single day that I didn't blame myself!
You have no idea how broken I was during those times!
You didn't talk to me either,
so I thought you wanted to be alone.
Yes, I wanted to be alone.
But I wanted you by my side.
You promised you'd always be there for me.
What happened to that promise?!
We lost our child,
but you left and ran away from me!
Liana, you think I ran away?
You think I left you?!
I worked abroad to provide for our family!
For Abby!
No matter how many times you say
that you didn't leave me,
that doesn't change how you made me feel, Victor!
That's how I felt!
So, I just accepted it.
I kept going for our child's sake.
I stayed strong because of Abby.
Isn't that what you wanted?
Answer me!
[DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES]
That's what I wanted.
It was your choice to leave me behind.
So, I kept asking myself if I should still fight for us.
But, you know what I realized?
I can live without you.
And I am no longer happy with you.

Victor!
That's enough!
- Aah! - Victor!
You're hurting yourself!

Stop it, stop it.

[GRUNTS]
Who are you?
- Hey! - What are you doing?
I'm not groping you, okay?
I'm a physical therapist.
I'm just following orders.
Look, it's swollen.
Remember what you did last night?
You destroyed the punching bag.
[OLIVIA SIGHS]
Thank you.
By the way, I'm Victor.
I know who you are.
I'm Olivia.
Olivia?
Your name sounds familiar.
Change your bandage every night.
Cold compress, okay? Fifteen minutes, once a day.
That'll speed up your recovery.
[WHISPERS] Coach.
Who is she?
Don't you recognize her?
She's my granddaughter.
She just got back from America.
She just graduated.
She's now a PT. Licensed.
Why? Do you have questions?
Have some food.
I'm good. Thank you for this.
She said she wants to help me here in the gym.
But I know she came here
because she's not in good terms with her mother.
[GRUNTS]
[INHALES, EXHALES HEAVILY]
Is that really her, coach?
She was so young when I last saw her.
That's her.
Time flies so fast, Victor.
So whatever it is you're going through right now…
make sure you leave your child out of it.

Where's Abby?
Still sleeping.
Lucas and I broke up.
He left.
I really don't know...
what to say to you.
I'm sorry for what I have done.
It doesn't matter what my reasons were.
I still made a mistake.
W-What's your plan now?
[MOROSE MUSIC PLAYING]
I don't know.
But I'll come visit every day...
for Abby.
Whatever your decision is,
I'll accept it.
But, Victor...
[MOROSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
I just have one favor.
Can we keep what happened...
...between us for now?
I want to explain everything to Abby first.
Once she knows,
once she's accepted it,
I don't care anymore,
even if the whole world finds out.
[MOROSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
[TRAFFIC NOISE]
This is not a tragedy.
Atty. Santos may not know because he is happily married.
The real tragedy would be to stay in a relationship
where you no longer love each other.
[INHALES DEEPLY] So...
let's think of this as a new beginning.
With that being said,
my client, Mr. Villamor,
will only give 10% of his company shares.
Attorney Lualhati, you cannot bend the law.
Their conjugal property
should be divided equally, fifty percent.
I was a supportive wife.
I gave up my career
so you can pursue your ambitions!
[STIRRING MUSIC PLAYING]
[ALEX] This is adultery, my friend.
You're having an affair with your married client.
And as lawyers, we are expected to uphold
principles and good moral character.
You know that you can be disbarred if this gets out.
[STIRRING MUSIC CONTINUES]
I'm okay with getting only ten percent.
Thank you, Atty. Lualhati.
From now on,
I will entrust to your firm
all the legal matters of my company.
[STIRRING MUSIC CONTINUES]
- You really are something. - [CHUCKLES]
That was impressive! You're amazing!
One thing you need to learn, Matteo.
Everyone has a secret.
That's why you're my role model.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
- See you tomorrow. - Take care.
Alex.
[UNSETTLING MUSIC PLAYING]
What are you doing here?
[VICTOR] Thank you, Alex.
This is just temporary.
It's okay.
We have five bedrooms
and Mama would prefer that someone occupy it.
What happened, anyway? Did you guys fight?
Yeah.
I haven't told anyone about this yet.
What did you fight about?
[SIGHS]
Look.
I'm your brother. You can trust me.
Juliana cheated on me.
[UNSETTLING MUSIC PLAYING]
Wow.
I don't know what to say.
[BREATHES DEEPLY]
Do you need my help?
What's your plan?
Are you going to break up with her...
[UNSETTLING MUSIC CONTINUES]
...or file for an annulment?
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
What do you mean there's nothing wrong?
Your daughter noticed you two were having problems.
She told me everything.
She said Victor is at Alex's place because you had a fight.
We're just dealing with something, Grandma.
We'll fix this.
Don't worry about Abby.
What exactly is it?
[UNSETTLING MUSIC PLAYING]
Is Victor having an affair?
How dare he cheat on you!
Doesn't Victor know he's lucky to have you?
You're not helping!
[SIGHS DEEPLY]
Whatever it is that you're going through...
please think about your daughter.
I know that, Grandma.
Liana.
You know how hard it is to grow up in a broken family.
Don't do anything that will make your daughter hate both of you.
[UNSETTLING MUSIC CONTINUES]
[SIGHS SHARPLY]
Congratulations, Alex!
You might receive your appointment letter next week.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY] Thank you, Judge.
I really appreciate it.
Don't worry.
I won't let you down.
You better.
My reputation is on the line.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
The process wasn't easy.
Dante.
My son won't give you problems.
I mean, his credentials are very impressive.
He's a bar topnotcher,
and he has never lost a case.
Plus, he handled a lot of pro bono cases.
His law firm wants to make him a partner,
but he refused it for this appointment.
That's right, Dad.
You don't have to worry about Alex.
Besides, the name Judge Alexander Lualhati suits him.
[DANTE] I got it, dear.
- Enough with the sales talk. - [CHUCKLES]
Just remember this, Alex.
Be careful.
Don't get involved in any trouble or scandal.
Not even a minor one.
You can't get in trouble.
Otherwise, you will lose all of these.
And it will tarnish my name.
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
Yes, Judge.
I have a clean record,
and I intend to keep it that way.
And of course, most importantly...
Keep my daughter happy.
That's all I ask.
Don't worry. I can assure you of that.
My son will never hurt your daughter.
Do you know how much Alex loves Sylvia?
[CHUCKLES]
Well, here's to a happy married life.
Oh. And cheers to Judge Alexander Lualhati.
- Mm. Cheers. - Cheers.
[STIRRING MUSIC PLAYING]
Well...
First of all, I'd like to thank everyone
for your support, concern, and love.
I will carry with me all the memories
and lessons I've learned from working with all of you.
I'll surely miss you all.
Cheers!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Emma.
Sir Lucas was seriously beaten up.
That mugger did a number on him.
He could've just fled after stealing his money.
You know what? I don't think he was mugged.
I think there's more to it than that.
Look at him. He's black and blue.
He's lucky he's still standing.
Will you quiet down?
You're spouting nonsense again.
Stop making up stories. Sir is already retiring.
It was just a hunch. I wasn't saying it's true.
[LUCAS] Anyway, although it's very hard for me
to leave and say goodbye to everyone here,
it eases my worries knowing that I'll be replaced
by someone who is the best and most deserving.
[STIRRING MUSIC PLAYING]
Juliana.
[CLAPPING, CHEERING]
[MAN LAUGHS]
Sir, we're running out of hot guys in the company.
- Right? - [WOMAN] She's right, sir.
- I'm still here. - Oh, shush.
- I'm here. - Let's eat.
[EMMA] You're not bad.
- L-Lucas. - [EMMA] Come on. I'm hungry.
Let's eat.
Thank you.
[EMMA] Let's dig in. There's so much food.
At least I kept the end of my bargain, Juliana.
[STIRRING MUSIC CONTINUES]
[AMELIA CHUCKLES] I love Judge Dante.
He's so kind.
[CHUCKLES]
You better be on your best behavior.
Yes, Ma. When have I ever gotten in trouble?
Hmm.
What--
What are you doing here?
He and Juliana have a problem, so he's staying here for now.
What? What problem?
It's no big deal.
We can fix this.
I'll be leaving next week anyway.
I won't stay long here.
How serious is this problem?
Make sure this won't embarrass us.
It won't. I'll take care of it.
None of you will get dragged into this.
You better make sure.
Don't you dare cause us any trouble.
We have a lot to lose,
especially your brother.
[MOROSE MUSIC PLAYING]
She's not here, Ma'am Juliana.
I've already searched for her inside.
I've been standing guard the whole day.
I didn't see her come out.
Are you sure? Maybe she's in there somewhere.
Um, can I look for her inside?
Maybe she's in the gym or in the canteen...
- [RAY] You may, ma'am. - Um, Mrs. Lualhati?
We're very sorry. The school had a security lapse.
What do you mean?
- [JULIANA BREATHING HEAVILY] - [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[JULIANA WHISPERS] Abby.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[LINE RINGING]
Hello, Victor?
Victor, Abby is missing.
[BREATHING ANXIOUSLY]
[VICTOR] Abby?
Abby, dear?
Have you called her classmates?
[JULIANA] Abby?
We searched the whole school, but she wasn't there.
I told Grandma and Kate to keep a watch out
for her at the school.
[VICTOR] What happened? Were you late to pick her up?
- Abby! - I'm never late to pick her up.
Even though I'm busy at work,
- I'm never late. - [OBJECT CLATTERS]
Then why the hell is she missing?!
This is negligence on your part!
You're not just an unfaithful wife,
you're also a neglectful mother!
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
Do you really have to keep saying that?!
I already said sorry, didn't I?!
- [LOUD THUD] - [SIGHS]
Sorry?!
Do you think your apology can make up for everything?!
I can accept anything you want to throw at me.
But don't ever tell me I'm a neglectful mother!
I've been present in all of Abby's birthdays.
All of her school activities.
Mother's Day, Father's Day, graduation,
even her classmates' birthdays!
I never missed anything important to our daughter
because I wanted to be always by her side!
- What about you?! - Me?!
So, I'm the bad guy because I'm not always around?!
I've been working elsewhere to provide for you
so you could buy your luxuries and your dream house!
Why? Did I ask you to do that?!
You promised me all of those things yourself,
and I was foolish enough to believe
you'd keep all of your promises!
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
[KATE] Liana! Victor!
Liana! Victor!
Abby has been found!
- Where is she?! - She's in St. John's Hospital!
- She was hit by a jeepney! - What?!
- Come on! - Let's go!
- [PILAR] My granddaughter! - [VICTOR] Hurry!
[PILAR] Where is she?!
[JULIANA] Abby?
Liana!
[JULIANA AND VICTOR PANTING]
Miss, our daughter got into an accident
and was rushed here.
She's in the CT scan department, sir.
- W-Where is that? - That way, sir.
Abby! Abby, dear!
- Doctor! - Are you the parents
of the girl who got hit by a jeepney?
Yes, Doctor.
She sustained a wound on her head,
but we already stitched it up.
We made her undergo a CT scan
so we can check if she has a fracture, or worse,
- brain hemorrhage. - [SOBS]
We're still not out of the woods.
I'm sorry. I have to attend to other emergencies.
- [SOBBING] - [SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]

Doctor.
[DOCTOR] I have good news.
There are no fractures or other conditions
resulting from your daughter's accident.
The wound on her head will heal eventually.
Abby is cleared.
In fact, we'll move her to a regular room
where we can wait for her to wake up.
She can go home tomorrow or the day after.
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
- Thank you, Doctor. - Thank you.
I'll just write down her prescriptions.
- Thank you. - Thank you, Doctor.
- Juliana. - She's going to be okay.
This is why I keep telling you
not to fight in front of your daughter.
She can hear you arguing.
Is this what you want?
That goes for Alex and Sylvia, too.
I told them that if they're going to have children,
they shouldn't fight in front of them.
Ma, that's not happening any time soon.
Huh? Why not?
That's too bad. Wouldn't you enjoy having kids?
Hey, what do you know about having kids?
Do you have a boyfriend now?
Come on, Grandma. Of course, not.
I don't have time for boys.
I'm too busy studying and working.
- As you should be. - If you need help or money,
or if you run into any problem here at the hospital,
just let me know.
One of the hospital's directors is my client.
Don't worry about it.
We'll be fine. Thanks for the offer.
Juliana, you and Abby should come over some time.
She can go swimming in our pool.
It would be a fun bonding experience.
We only see you when Victor comes home.
[MOROSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[ALEX] That's right.
It would be nice for us to catch up.
Uh... Sure.
Let's set a date once Abby recovers.
Thank you.
Thanks for coming and being here for us.
[MOROSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
Thanks for all your help, Alex.
Don't mention it.
We should be looking out for each other anyway.

Just answer my question.
- I have nothing to say to you! - Will you calm down?!
Who's that guy you're with? Is he your partner?
Are you gay?
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
Answer my question...
Did you have an affair with my wife?
I can't tell you. I'll get in trouble.
With whom? Who's making you do this?
- I can't tell you! - Who?!
I can't tell you anything! Just--
Your wife is having an affair with someone else.
What?
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
- Lucas! Lucas! - Eric!
- Eric... - What happened?
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
Is there a problem, sir?
They said that you're harassing them.
It's nothing. I just had a question,

Is that true?

It's been following us since we left your office.

Did it really have to come to this, Alex?
This all happened because Victor refused to let it go.
We had no choice.
Enough to put someone's life at stake?
Tsk. Lucas knew what he was getting into.
- Uh, miss? - Yes, sir?
I'm very late for my meeting with Juliana Lualhati.
May I know what our room number is?
Alright, sir. I'll just check it.
Check for Juliana Lualhati.

Yes, I'm in my condo.
You're five minutes away from Sunrise Hotel, right?
- Yes, why? - Come here now.
Alex. Alex, wait a minute.
I don't think this is a good idea.
You are so quick to forget, Lucas.
You got a lot of money in your annulment because of me.
Your true identity was kept secret throughout the case.
Don't forget about the money you siphoned from the company.
Just do it so we don't have a problem.
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
Aww.
Look at you.

Victor left without a single clue about us.
We can go back to the way things were.
[PENSIVE MUSIC CONTINUES]
Victor is not our only problem, you know.
What about Sylvia?
Don't worry about her.
I have her wrapped around my finger.
I just can't let go of her right now.
Because you still need her for your career, right?
I'll be a judge soon.
After that, we'll work on your annulment.
Hmm?
You know, Alex...
I'm making a big sacrifice here.
Fulfill your promise to me, okay?
That...
That you'll marry me.
That we'll be...
We'll be happy. [INHALES DEEPLY]

Sorry I'm late. I got caught up with work.
Have you eaten?
Where's Abby?
Huh? She's not here.
What?
[UNSETTLING MUSIC CONTINUES]
Abby?
Abby!
Mommy, surprise! Daddy's back!
[UNSETTLING MUSIC CONTINUES]
The ship we were supposed to board malfunctioned.
It's too dangerous, so we decided not to go.
Let's take off your shoes, so you can eat comfortably.
Come here.
Why is it so tight? Who put it on you?
[ABBY] Does that mean you'll stay here longer, Daddy?
Yes, dear. Daddy will stay.
[ABBY] Yay!
[UNSETTLING MUSIC CONTINUES]
Mommy, Daddy's staying.
That means we'll be together all the time.
We're complete again.
[UNSETTLING MUSIC CONTINUES]
I haven't changed my mind, Victor.
I still want an annulment.
Fine. Let's get an annulment.
[STIRRING MUSIC PLAYING]
Really?
I won't force myself on you.
I just want to be with Abby.
[STIRRING MUSIC CONTINUES]
I'm glad Victor agreed to the annulment.
You should talk to the lawyer I recommended.
I'm just wondering...
what changed his mind all of a sudden.
Before he left, he was opposed to the idea.
It doesn't matter.
What matters is you'll be free from him now.
He won't be a part of your life anymore.
He's still Abby's father, Alex.
I know.
But we will never be happy as long as he's around.
The two of us can take care of Abby.
You don't need him in your life.
[UNSETTLING MUSIC PLAYING]
It will take two to four years
before the court grants your annulment.
And it would cost around 300,000 to 600,000 pesos.
The money won't be a problem, Attorney.
I just want to know what'll happen to my daughter.
Well, the law favors the mother,
but if the child is seven years old and above,
she can choose which parent to live with.
Why does she have to choose? We can share custody.
That's why with annulment cases,
I always advise the parents to separate amicably
so the child won't be put in a tight spot.
Both parties should be able to prove
that they're capable of being a good parent.
You have to prove that you're emotionally,
physically, and economically fit for shared custody.
Attorney...
What if I want my child to live with me?
Then we'll file for sole custody.
But you have to convince the judge
that you have a stable source of income.
You have a job, right?
[STIRRING MUSIC PLAYING]
I want to make sure I get sole custody of my daughter.
Then we must prove during the annulment
that he cannot fulfill his responsibilities
as a husband and a father.
How?
On the grounds of psychological incapacity.
Attorney...
What if I tell the court she cheated on me?
That's not one of the grounds for sole custody,
not even for annulment.
But, separately, you can sue her for adultery.
You just need sufficient and concrete evidence.
[ROBERT] Unless you did something that your husband
can use against you.
There's no such thing, right?
[STIRRING MUSIC CONTINUES]
[METAL CLANKING]
Most of the equipment here are already old and worn-out,
so no one wants to train here anymore.
You were the one who told me
that it's not about the equipment.
It's about the trainer's skills.
[BADONG CHUCKLES]
I'm already old, Victor.
If only someone could help me out here.
But no one's interested.
I can help you.
Why? Are you planning to quit being a seafarer?
[PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]
I talked to my lawyer earlier.
What did she say?
She said I could lose Abby...
...if I can't prove to the court that I have a stable income.
You know, it'll be favorable to me...
...if you work here.
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
You can help me train the rookies.
[SCOFFS] Those guys are nothing compared to you in your prime.
It makes me feel proud when they refer to you
as Victor "The Beast" Lualhati.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
[SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES]
Coach, what if I get back into training?
Can I be a boxer again?
You've been out of condition for so long.
[STIRRING MUSIC PLAYING]
- Jab! - [GRUNTS]
- Another! - [GRUNTS]
- Straight, jab, straight. - [GRUNTING]
Ten uppercuts, one hook.
- [GRUNTING] - [STIRRING MUSIC CONTINUES]
- Enough. Let's take a break. - [VICTOR HUFFS]
[PANTING]
[GROANS]
[BADONG] You're way out of shape.
[BREATHING HEAVILY, GROANS]
Want some water?
Bro.
Oh.
[GROANS]
J-Jimboy.
[EXHALES LOUDLY]
What are you doing here? [PANTING]
[JIMBOY] Our ship's in bad condition
so I decided not to go.
It's too risky.
[BADONG SIGHS]
[JIMBOY] Mister Badong.
Can I work here for now?
Just while I'm waiting to be signed on.
That's fine with me.
Victor will be working here, too.
Oh, nice!
The trio is back! Just like old times!
Hold on. You're not signing on, either?
Being with my daughter is my top priority right now.
What will you do about Juliana?
I'm sure she won't let you get custody of your daughter.
I'll find a way, Coach.
Wait, wait. W-Wait a minute.
What's going on? I don't understand.
Why are you talking about child custody?
[MOROSE MUSIC PLAYING]
Is Juliana seeing another man?
- I knew it! - [SLAMS]
That's why you suddenly left the airport.
There must be a reason why Juliana lied to me.
What's your plan?
- Take care, ma'am. - Thank you.

Thank goodness you came.
I was in the area. What happened?
[JULIANA] Here. Take a look.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES]
Thanks. I'll leave my car in your care.
Here's my keys.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
I talked to Victor.
I think he already knows.
I know you're Liana's lover!
He can't prove anything.
Victor is getting suspicious.
He's not as gullible as you think.
If I were you, I'd be careful.
We should take a break.
I won't let Victor win.
I love you, Juliana.
I won't let you go.
How long will you keep lying to me?
