"Kuya = Big brother" "Guys, be careful with our stuff." "That's all we have." "Don't break them." " Yes, ma'am." " Yes, ma'am." "Ma'am, why did you decide to live here?" "It is hot, with poor ventilation." "Ma'am." "If you ever got lazy of going down you won't be able to have your feet on the ground." "Sunlight won't be able to touch your beautiful skin." "You just have to get used to it." "Besides, I am not lazy." "Probably." "But it's iffy living in a tall building." "I remember the old Ruby tower." "Ruby Tower = 6-storey building in Binondo, Manila, Philippines, collapsed during the 1968 7.6-magnitude Casiguran earthquake." " Ruby tower?" " Indeed, ma'am." "Another condo, ma'am." "Crumbled in 1968." "Buildings are newer nowadays." "They do not just collapse." "Probably." "Did you know, ma'am?" "When that tower tumbled?" "Many were buried alive." "Many died." "Some were dug up." "A man and a woman." "Nude, naked." "On top of each other!" "According to what I heard..." "They were just lovers and not a married couple." "Well what do I care?" "None, I guess." "But..." "The one commonly occupying such a condo like this..." "Is the mistress." "So the legit wife wouldn't know." "[Elevator dings]" "Chistine:" "Oh!" "[JR screams]" "Kuya Robert!" "Kuya Robert, the kid!" "Kuya Robert!" "My son!" "My son!" "My son." "We better take him to a hospital." "[Ambulance siren wailing]" "Damn it." "Miss." "Missis." "Sit down for a while." "Probably nothing serious happened to your son." "Relax yourself." "I feel dizzy because of you." "Do not mind me." "It is my fault." "I forgot to lock the door." "I did not notice my son got out." "Just why did the nanny have to take a day off?" "Sir, your son is okay." "Huh?" "I'm not the father, doc." " She is the mother of the boy." " I'm sorry." "Ma'am, your son is okay." "He just fainted because of the fall." "But he's all right." " Doc, may I see him?" " Sure." "Robert:" "Christine!" "You're in charge now, all right?" "Okay." "You're coffee is ready." "[Ding dong]" "Are you expecting a visitor?" "Who would visit me?" "Your boss wouldn't visit us." "Hi." "Forgive me for yesterday." "I wasn't able to thank you." "I was really out of my mind because of what happened." "I did not even get your name." "I am Shiela, by the way." "Robert." "Christine!" "Take care of her now." "Come inside." "Thanks." "Shiela, come here." "Pardon my brother will you?" "He's got a meeting." "I should be the one asking for forgiveness." "We weren't able to talk in the vehicle yesterday." "I returned for him in the hallway, but..." "He was already gone." "You know." "I'm really sorry." "Because..." "You just transferred here, and I already messed up." "Oh, it is nothing." "Who would help each other, but us neighbors." "Rather, condo-mates instead." "So how is your son?" "Oh, JR?" "He's resting." "By the way." "This is the replacement plant for the one ruined yesterday." "Pardon it will you?" "You shouldn't have bothered." "Thank you." "Hey." "Come, take a seat." "Let's have a snack." "I just baked a cake." "Robert:" "Everything is in order." "I ironed it out, boss." "Ramon:" "The office is expecting much from you." "You know our racket is difficult." "Your client..." "She's the biggest one yet." "If you screw this up you better find a new racket." "I understand, boss." "If not for your partner's recommendation..." "I won't entrust this client to you." "This client is meticulous." "Therefore, you were chosen." "Since you're the most good looking." "I'll take care of it." "You won't be disappointed, boss." "Okay." "I'll arrange a meeting with her." "You have to make a believer out of her." "So we'll make money." "For sure, boss." "Christine:" "Those are Kuya's shots." "He likes photography." "Frustrated painter, so, he settled for pictures." "You know." "His shots are good." "Beautiful." "Forgive this juice, all right?" "It's a little light." "I still haven't gone to the grocery yet." "It's okay." "If you want, we can shop together this weekend." "I'll show you the nearest mart from here." "It's cheaper there." "Sure." "We don't have coffee anymore after all." "Kuya Robert is a coffee addict." "Huh?" "Oh." "Indeed." "So..." "Is it just the two of you here?" "Yes." "We have a house in Malabon." "Only..." "Even when just a frog pisses, there's already flood." "So we simply sold it." "After all..." "We're just waiting for our parent's petition from America." "How about you?" "What about your husband?" "Huh?" "Well, he's not here." "Abroad?" "Oh, no." "Multinational company." "Only a few times at home." "Christine, I'm going." "I'm going." "JR might wake up already." " All right." " Thanks for the food." " Farewell." " Okay." " Guard:" "What about our Sunday outing?" " Lurie:" "What?" "Lurie:" "But I don't have money." "Guard:" "Do something then will you?" "I don't have money too." "Lurie:" "All right." "I'll see to it." "But I'm not sure." " Guard:" "Really?" "Sweet." " (Lurie chuckles)" "Lurie:" "Oh you..." "Guard:" "How would you contact me?" "Lurie:" "Haven't I told you to buy yourself a cellphone?" "Guard:" "I've no money, remember?" " You should save up already." " Indeed." " So we can exchange texts." " I'm out of dough for now." " If you want I'll lend you some money." " Don't worry, I'll buy one someday." "Correct?" "Guard:" "So, do we proceed on Sunday?" "All righty then." " I'll be the one spending." " Guard:" "Great!" "Well then." " I still have duty." " Right." "All right, bye-bye." " I love you." " Love you." "Aren't you, JR?" "Yes." "How do you know me?" "I helped your mommy bring you to the hospital." "Oh!" "Are you the one?" "Anyway, I am Robert." "JR, sir." "For I am a junior." "Lyndon Valdez, Jr." "Seven years old." "A student." "But I am absent today." "My mommy won't allow me to go to school today." "Why are you playing basketball so soon, your wound is still fresh?" "You have to let it heal first." " See?" " JR!" "Oh you." "I told you not to talk to strangers, hm?" "He's not a stranger." "He is Robert." "He's the one who brought me to the hospital yesterday." "Because you had a date." "Oh, you." "Anyway." "Hi!" "I'm Lurienda Duraon." "Lurie for short." "The nanny of this cute, little boy." "JR." "I want to add." "If you want to play basketball..." "Never again near the staircase." "It's dangerous." "You should play here instead." "The basketball court." "Yes, sir." "Great." "After your wound healed I'll even teach you." " Really?" " Of course." "Okay, I'm leaving." "Okay." "Farewell." " Bye." " Goodbye too." "He's a good person." "Probably so." "But he failed to notice my beauty." "Santi." "Bye." "It's okay." "We're gonna watch too tomorrow." "I have reported to boss earlier." "And I've met with that JR." "The kid seems nice." "The mom seems nice too." "Easy to get along with." "I think we're lucky with our neighbor." "Apparently gullible." "Kuya." "We need money." "We have none to spend tomorrow." "Don't worry." "I'll do something tomorrow." "Ellaine:" "Your boss told me." "That you are adept." "Are you, indeed?" "So my boss revealed to you my exploits." "Then you know what I'm capable of." "Don't be too courteous on me." "I don't like it." "If you do that again you'll pay all these up." "Sorry, Ellaine." "I have faith in your boss." "You do look for real." "And have what it takes." "For your expenses." "Just make sure that you do a good job." "Thank you, ma'am." "You did it again." "I'm not a teacher, I'll take that back." "Sorry, Ellaine." "That's better." "If you're always like that, we'll get along just fine." "Very well..." "I'll start working." "Shiela:" "You know..." "Your brother seems a bit unfriendly." "Oh, no." "He's not." "He just seems so serious." "When he was born there was a typhoon." "He took accounting, you know." " Really?" " Yeah." "But he failed the board exam." "So..." "Instead of becoming a CPA..." "He ended up as a medicine agent." "Wait, you know..." "I'm a CPA myself." "Really?" " Yeah." " So how come?" "Why?" "Lots of rackets for an accountant." "Why are you at home all the time?" "Um..." "My husband doesn't want me to work." "Let me guess." "A jealous-type, eh?" "Who's this?" "Huh?" "Oh!" "She's my sister." "My sister!" "You said to me..." "You're a sole son." "Your parents are from Davao." "And you're alone here in Manila." "I knew it." "You're just fooling me!" "I'm not fooling you." "This face?" "Looks like a beguiler?" "You appear not to be one." "My mother told me the truth." "Not to get involved with handsome guys." "For they will only cheat on me." "Well, that's the thing about your mother." "She got married to an ugly man, so she want you to marry the same." "Hey, Roberto." "Do remember that I'm taking up law." "So I know a lying person, and someone who's not." "I'm really not lying." "Come on." "Once I catch you in the act, you can kiss it all goodbye." "I'm glad you know how to bake." "It's Lyndon's favorite." "Because..." "He's coming home this Friday." "I want to surprise him." "You really love him, don't you?" "Of course I do." " Is this you in the picture?" " Yes." "I won a local pageant back in our province." "Perhaps I should have joined a beauty contest too." "How about the man awarding you?" "Shiela:" "Um..." "He's the..." "He's my husband, Lyndon." "We met there, since he was a judge." "After I won, that was it." "He never stopped courting me." "Christine:" "I should have joined too then." "In order too..." "catch a husband." "[cellphone ringing]" "Hello." "Kuya Robert?" "♫♫♫ [Disco music]" "Chistine:" "Her husband will arrive in Friday." "I think we're already close." "For she's telling me much already." "Seems she has some frustration with his man." "But she's indulging him since she loves him." " Another shot, OK?" " Yes, sir." "I have a problem and we're talking about that." "Obet, if you have a personal problem, it shouldn't affect our work." "You know." "I think I truly love Mary Anne." "So you truly love her." "Then you're irresponsible." "Why the heck did you put my picture in your wallet?" "Of course she'll get jealous of me." "Why?" "Is it wrong to put a sister's picture in a wallet?" "A mother's picture..." "yes it's allowed." "A girlfriend's picture..." "Certainly." "But a sister's picture?" "Well, what can I do?" "For I love my sister." "You declared that, all right?" "[Robert grunts]" "Drinking too much, but can't handle it." "If our boss finds this out, I'm the one in trouble." "Where are we now?" "Already in the house." "Lurie:" "JR!" "Slow down." "Oh my." "Slow down." "You might trip." "Uncle Robert!" "Uncle Robert!" "May I join you?" " May I join?" " Certainly!" " Do your mommy know you're here?" " Yes." "Um..." "What about nanny Buraot?" "Over there." "She has a text mate." "She's laughing by herself." "Like a loose screw." "Really?" "Let's play then, before we get infected." "Shoot." "Too bad." "♫♫♫ [Christine humming]" "[JR giggling]" "I'm gaining on you." "I'm coming." "Here I am." "Here..." "Santi:" "Drink first." "Got you." "Yahoo." "Here we go." "Here we go." "Stop it." "Yahoo." "JR:" "Yahoo." "JR:" "Yahoo." "Tell me the truth." "Am I the only man in your life, or there is another?" "Santi, what kind of a question is that?" " You're getting weird for me." " So be it." "I'll just call you guys." "Men:" "Yes, sir." "Shiela." "Hi, honey." "I got your massage." "I managed to get a chance." "Let's ascend?" "JR fell asleep early." "He probably got tired playing." "I called you when he had an accident." "But I couldn't contact you." "Shiela, my cellphone is often off." "Will you stay long?" "I really missed you." "Too many work." "Your son doesn't see you much." "I'm getting bored here, for your often gone." "I'd like to have a job, so that..." "Why?" "Is the money I give you not enough?" "It's not like that." "I just don't want to be holed up here." "You're taking care of the house." "You're taking care of JR." "So what for?" "Lyndon, don't you trust me until now?" "Are we going to argue on this?" "I can only be here a few times after all." "Shiela:" "You're leaving again?" "When will you be back?" "There's just too much work." "I'll leave you with enough for your expenses." "Take care of JR." " Oh, there's your daddy." " Daddy!" "Hey!" "JR!" "Here." "Hello." "Come here, will you?" "You're going to school?" "Daddy..." "Will you remain longer now?" "Huh?" "Will you remain longer?" "Lyndon:" "But Daddy has too many work." "Daddy." "Aren't we going to play basketball today?" "Today?" "I know how to play." "Uncle Robert taught me how." "Since..." "He's the only playmate I have." "Uncle Robert?" "Yes." "Who's that?" "Um.." "The..." "Our neighbor." "They're new occupants here." "Come on, son." " You might get late for school." " Next time, Dad..." "We'll play basketball." "Promise." "Go now." "All right." "Lurie." "What is it, sir?" "How are things here?" "We're fine, sir." "You take care of your ma'am, OK?" "Indeed, I'll take care of her." "No need for you to say it." " Oh, sir." " Yeah?" "I just want to ask for my cellphone load." "I don't have anymore texts." "You know." "So I can still report to you." "Here." "Thank you, sir." "Visit us as often as you can." "I'll try." "I love you." "Be careful always." "Bye." "Bye." "Bye-bye." "Just exact." "Here are the photographs." "You're good." "You're making me a believer." "For your expenditures." "I'll see you again." "Roberto, you bastard." "You animal." "Roberto, you slime." "What're you doing here?" "You animal." "You utter liar." "I knew it, you're only deceiving me!" "What?" "Just what are you doing here?" "You liar." "I'm not your only girlfriend?" "We're many, huh?" "Hold it, Mary Anne." "Listen up!" "Listen to you?" "You." "She's probably your sugar mommy." "What are you, a call boy?" "Yuck!" "You're engaging even with a matron." "You're milking from me." "You're even..." "Unhand me!" "Marry Anne, wait, let me explain!" "What "let me explain" are you saying?" "Hey." "Roberto." "What did I tell you before?" "When I catch you in the act..." "What?" "What?" " What?" "Son of a bitch!" " That when I catch you in the act..." " What bullshit is this?" "!" " Who are you calling bitch?" "Now I'm a bitch?" "What are you, male bitch?" "Now that I have caught you in the act, you're on your own!" "Do what you want." "Call boy!" "Mary Anne!" "Mary Anne!" " Fuck it!" " Woman:" "Hey, what's that?" "Man:" "That prat." "Hey!" "If you and your girl are quarreling, don't involve my car!" " You baulk!" " Sorry, sir." " I'm sorry, missis." " I'm still a miss!" "Bro..." "You have lots of spills." "Even you." "Mary Anne..." " Relax for a while, guys." " Yes, boss." " Don't slip up, all right?" " Oh, no, sir." "Okay." "Rest up now." "Papa is looking for you." "He wants the details for tomorrow's meeting." "I'll just call Papa." "Just where have you been?" "You were missing." "When there are lots of things to straighten out." "I just commanded something." "In Manila?" "In Lucban." "Our constituents." "Maybe..." "You're doing something..." "you don't want me to know." "Or maybe..." "There's a new flavor of the month." "Or perhaps you have changed." "It's flavor of the year now?" "Ellaine." "I never hid a woman from you." "Perhaps you're the one hiding." "You're often gone yourself." "Don't you reverse it!" "I'm not promiscuous like you!" "Robert." "Sometimes." "When you chase after your love." "She tends to drift away." "But if you're letting her by herself, she tends to come back." "So if I were you, just let it be." "You know..." "I wanted to explain to her." "But she wouldn't listen." "Please, Christine." "I'll introduce you to her." "So she'll believe you're my sister." "You're crazy." "Then what?" "She'll ask more details about us." "Like who are our parents." "Where do we live." "Etcetera." "Etcetera." "Would you be able to have it all under control?" "Do I really have to sacrifice Mary Anne for the job?" "For me..." "I can sacrifice anything for the job." "I'm not sure about you." "Shiela:" "Robert!" "Robert!" " That's Shiela." " Shiela:" "Robert!" "Robert!" "Why?" "Robert, it's my son." " Uncle Robert." " Don't cry." " You need the injection to get better." " Come on, son." "Okay?" " It's not painful." " The prick isn't terrible." " It's just like an ant's bite." " If we don't do this, we don't play basketball." " Basketball?" " Absolutely!" "After your injection, we'll play basketball." "Doc:" "Okay." "Keep calm." " You see?" " It was not so awful." " You did it." " You'll get better now." " All right missis, I'm going." " Thanks, doc." "So it was just like an ant's bite." "Yeah." "That's right." "I told you it wasn't painful." "So what's the ant, a male or a female?" "A male." "Robert." "Thanks." "What?" "What did the doctor say?" "Typhoid fever." "Sub-clinical." "But..." "He's already confined." "Shiela, I told you I'm very much occupied." "I'm busy." "I'll send you money." "I don't need your money." "Dammit!" "Your son doesn't need it, he needs you." "Do you understand?" "Lyndon, I'm sorry." "Shiela." "I have things to do." "Um..." "I'll try." "If I can go there." "Hello, Lyndon?" "Emcee:" "Associates..." "Let's applaud our beloved Governor!" "Shiela." "Are you okay?" " Christine." " Don't cry." "Shiela." "Don't cry." "Governor, we assure you his win." "We assure you in our Mayor's League." "That... if you'll endorse Mayor Lyndon, there's no chance for his defeat." "As our new governor." "Thank you, Mayor." "There's nobody else to continue my programs, but my son-in-law." "So how about it, friends?" "We have a new..." "First Lady." " Right." " Okay." "Oh, Mayor." "You know, I am..." "I won't meddle in politics." "But I do know." "My husband is a superb attorney." "A responsible man." "Easy to approach." "Always here in our province." "Unlike his opponent." "Who spends much time in Manila." " Yes, that's right." " Indeed." "Hear this." "Lyndon's opponent is also approachable." "Only..." "He's hard to locate." "Because he's there with his number two." "[Everybody laughs]" "Man:" "Indeed." "My friends..." "Where is our future governor?" "I haven't seen him." "Hi." " Man:" "Oh, there he is." " Man:" "Hey." "Where have you been?" "Papa's been looking for you." "I just made a call." "Blast that call." " Now, here is our governor." " Viva, Governor!" "My husband, even though not yet a governor, he's been arranging a lot already." "That's the hard thing for a politician's wife." "My opponent for his affection, are the constituents." "Indeed it is." "Christine:" "Shiela." "You have to understand." "Lyndon is very busy, remember?" "Right." "Busy with his job." "Busy with his career." "Busy with his wife." "Wife?" "It's difficult partaking for love." "Christine." "I'm not the lawful wife." "I'm a paramour." "A concubine." "A mistress." "Shiela." "Don't look down on yourself." "Just think that the second woman is loved more, than the original wife." "But they spend less time with the likes of us." " Do you love him?" " Before, it was just for money." "Christine, we were just a poor family." "He provided for my studies." "He supported my family, and he cared for me." "Christine, how could you reject such love?" "Who will give you and your family a better life?" "I understand." "Thank you." "You know..." "I was afraid to have friends." "I'm afraid..." "Afraid to be misunderstood." "Hence, I didn't go out since I was afraid." "Not all people are narrow-minded." "Do you know what I'm thinking now?" "For how long I should partake his time." "For how long I should share his love." "I'm scared, Christine." "I'm scared." "Gov. Laguesma:" "Hey, Lyndon." "Papa." "Everything is set." "You'll be the next governor of this province." "I hope..." "You don't break my trust in you." "You can count on me, Papa." "Gov. Laguesma:" "The truth was..." "When you and Ellaine got married." "I was worried." "Many claimed you doesn't truly love my sole daughter." "And you only want to get attached to our Laguesma name." "Papa." "I love Ellaine." "I love her so much." "You've proven yourself." "You've proven, they were wrong." "From a simple attorney." "Then became the mayor." "And now, the governor!" "Papa." "I won't tarnish your name." "I promise you." "I didn't pick wrongly with you as my son-in-law." "Come on, son." "Take your medicine." " I don't want to." " Oh, here's Uncle Robert." "Look Uncle Robert, he doesn't want his medicine." "Come on, JR." "Take it now." "It's bitter like a bitter gourd." "It's okay." "So you'll get stronger immediately." "Go ahead." "There!" "Now you're as strong as Popeye!" "[♪ Robert imitates Popeye's theme]" "Okay!" "Rest for a while." "After you sweat," " we'll start playing later." " Really?" "Yes." "Then we'll go to the mall." "We'll stroll around." "Right?" "Okay?" "Touch it." "All is well." "Thank you very much." "You know..." "I don't know why my son follows you." "Just what have you fed him?" "You know..." "A kid only needs some tricks." "Impress amorously." "I wish you were the father of my son." "Ramon:" "Everything is going as planned." "Why are you men always alike?" "Well, not all." "It's like you haven't gotten used to it." "You know, mostly..." "Political power, and having many women are a couple." "Marcos, had Dovie Beams." "Marcos, Ramos, Erap = former Philippine presidents" "Clinton, with Monica Lewinsky." "Ramos, with Baby." "And Erap, with too many." "I'm used to it, Ramon." "But I am not as so when I don't know my husband's other woman." "When she's moved away." "When she's being hidden." "You're afraid that he loves the woman?" "I am afraid of what Papa would say." "I persuaded Papa for me to marry Lyndon." "I know." "I can't bear him a child." "It's possible that he can't leave me now until Papa is alive." "But..." "Ramon." "What if..." "What if Papa is no longer around?" "What then?" "Be strong, Ellaine." "Hasten the dispatching of that woman." "I want it before the election." "Robert:" "There." "Do it." " Shoot it!" " Yahoo." "Go." " My turn." " Okay, your turn." "That's it." "Shoot!" "There!" "Let's have a rest." " All right." " I'm tired." " You're already good." " Not yet." "I haven't scored." "Even a single one yet." "Is that so?" "Uncle Robert." "Uncle Robert." "Lurie:" "JR!" "Get over here now." "It's Miss Buraot, she's looking for you now." "It's Lurie." "Time to go home, it seems." "Okay." "Off you go." "Bye-bye, Uncle Robert." "What?" "A leisurely walk?" "I thought the boy is sick?" "I went over here..." "Even with my numerous schedules, since I thought my son is sick!" "Now you're telling me, he went for a stroll?" "Shiela:" "It's been two weeks since your son was confined." "You only visited now." "So don't raise your tone on me!" "I'll raise my voice whenever I want for this is my house!" "This is not your house, Lyndon!" "You only go here when you want to release your sex drive on me!" "Daddy?" " JR?" " Daddy!" "Lurie, take the boy out with you." " Lurie:" "Come on, let's go." " Take him!" "JR:" "Mommy!" "Why are you so brave now?" "For all I dislike, you know it." "Is yelling on me." "Why?" "Who are you so proud of?" "Who?" "Well?" " Who?" " Nobody!" "There's no one!" "Lurie:" "JR, I told you many times before." "Don't be stubborn." "Come with me, let's go down." "Let's go!" " Why, what happened to you?" " Because..." "It's Daddy..." "and Mommy, they're fighting." " Huh?" " Oh my." "Come with me now." "Let's go down already!" "All right, let's go." " I'll accompany you, don't cry." " Oh you." "I don't like you!" "Ugly!" "Robert:" "Don't cry, JR." "Stop crying." "Sorry." "You knew..." "I'm real busy." "I'm thinking of the election." "I have to be sure." "Assure my victory." "I have lots to mind." "I have lots to iron out." "Then you have such demands." "You're not like this before." "Lyndon:" "For your expenses." "Christine:" "You didn't go out all day." "And why are all your candles lit?" "When I'm sad," "I use all the candles Lyndon gives me." "I light them all." "I am relaxed nevertheless." "When I see such small flames." "Somehow I feel..." "I feel peace." "Do you have a problem?" "Why do you have a hematoma?" "Does he hurt you?" "Go to rest now, Shiela." ""The king cobra, is the largest and most dangerous..."" ""...poisonous snake of all."" ""Just one bite can kill an elephant."" "You're better, Uncle Robert." "You read a book to me." "What about your daddy?" "He does not?" "Yes." "You're daddy could be busy on his work." "I wish you are my daddy instead." " Let's read one more." " I'm already sleepy." "Come on." "This one, this one." " Your turn to read this." " But..." "I still don't know how to read." "All right, you can sleep." " Good night, Uncle Robert." " Good night, JR." "You know, problems should be faced." "Not dealt with drinking." "Once it enters your intestines, it won't go out." "I can still vomit it." "Even after that." "It's all still there." "This is better." "To get asleep." "To forget all the troubles." "I had a similar problem before." "My girlfriend left me." "After that, I drank." "Still, nothing happened." "She didn't come back." "And I also had a hangover." "Wait, wait, wait." "I can't understand you." "Firstly, you're only dealing with my son." "Are you meddling with my drinking as well?" "I'm just concerned." "Concerned?" "You are my sister's friend." "Since she's not here, I'm the one taking care of you." "Taking care?" "As if you're for real?" " You don't believe?" " For I don't know who to believe." "I believe that Lyndon loves me." "But he hurts me." "I believe I can bear anything for my child." "But I seem to finally yield." "I believe that I can leave him." "But I'm afraid." "Don't worry." "I'm here for you." "Ramon:" "So something happened between the two of you." "Robert:" "Indeed, boss." "Therefore, you have her ensnared." "She won't escape." "You made me a believer, kid." "Ramon:" "It's for you." "You're in a dangerous situation now." "Better safe than sorry." "I have its papers." "Be careful with that, all right?" "Boss." " Do I really need to..." " Don't tell me you can't?" "Wait." "Hold it." "Haven't I told you?" "This is your last chance." "Can you do it or not?" "I can do it, boss." "Hey, forgive me, will you?" "I haven't been able to visit you lately." "There's too many jobs queued up." "It's really difficult when you're in an ad agency." "Work could last all night." "That's okay." "I understand you." "It's Robert who's often in the house now." "He has no assignments." "He probably sold out his medicines to every hospital in Luzon." "Um..." "Christine." " Is it embarrassing to..." " There you go again." "I told you." "I'm your friend." "It just seems that..." " I'm falling for your brother." " What?" "I think I love Robert, Christine." "Shiela:" "Um, Lurie." "Lurie:" "Oh!" "Ma'am." "You should fetch JR from school." "I might get occupied outside." "Then feed him." "You're in charge here, OK?" "So, where are you going?" "Um.." "I'll look for work." "A job?" "Yes, a job." "Why?" "Don't you have a job yourself?" "So what's wrong with that?" "Oh, nothing really." "What would I tell Sir if he called?" "Tell him to contact me via my cellphone, OK?" " I'm leaving." "Take over from here." " Yes." " Don't forget JR." " Yes." "[Door closes]" "Can you really love, a mistress?" "I can." "If you'll cut the knot between you two." "If you will not be afraid." "And if you'll trust me." "You know the truth." "I am afraid, Robert." "But when I'm with you." "All my fears disappear." "Like I could face anything." "Even death." "Ramon:" "Your job is almost over, kid" "This is your passport, and your US visa." "After your wedding with the woman..." "You can go." ""Roberto Tripon?"" "Yeah." "Remember it." "Your name is Roberto." "Not Virgilio Antonio." "Don't slip up." "How about the marriage?" "We'll arrange it." "We'll give you our contact in Manila." "Then I'll summon you to talk to Mrs. Valdez." "For the final briefing." "Robert:" "JR, enough of that." "Later again." "Rest up for a while." "JR!" "Well?" "No hug to daddy?" "Come here." "Is he..." " ...your Uncle Robert?" " Yes." "So you are Robert." "You were mentioned by Nanny Lurie." "Nanny of JR." "That you are often in our house." "Thanks for the time you spend with my son." "It's nothing." "Where's your mommy?" "She's up there." ""She's up there."" "Yes." "Thank you." "JR:" "Will you stay longer today?" "Possibly next month." "I'll remain longer." "It's a promise." "And not only that." "We'll go to Hong Kong." "Of course, together with mommy." "Really?" "Definitely." "But for now..." "Um..." "You should have a stroll." "Um..." "Your mommy and I will have a chat." " Hey, Lurie." " Lurie:" "Yes?" "Take JR with you." "Take this stuff inside the room." "And..." " You can finally promenade, OK?" " Yes." " Go on." " Let's go, JR." "Let's go to your room." "Hold on." "Kiss Mama first." "Bye-bye, Mommy!" " Go on." " Lurie:" "Good boy!" "Shiela:" "I thought..." "You are busy." "I just escaped." "I miss you two." "I miss you, Shiela." "We're fine here." "I heard, you applied for a job." "That's fine with me." "It's good that..." "you finally work, so..." "It will lessen your uneasiness." "Thus our tempers won't collide." "You mean..." "it's okay to..." "It's okay." "Just don't neglect JR." "Shiela..." "I love you." "I love our son too." "What happened between us, when we quarreled." "JR didn't approach me." "I felt bad." "My feeling was so heavy." "Don't worry." "I'll make amends." "After the election, I'll make it up with you two." "Santi, stop this." "Do you still love me?" "Tell me if not, it's okay." "Santi, what kind of question is that?" "Would I allow you to bang me if I don't love you?" "Having sex is different from making love." "Sex, after it's over..." "It's like you want to kick the lady out." "But if you love her, you are fulfilled." "The feeling is unique." "Here." "What's this?" "Sorry, Santi." "I really can't hide it." "It would be unfair to you if I say yes." "Bye." "You didn't attend the funeral with Mrs. Medrano." "I'm tired." "Are you tired or lazy?" "Why?" "Is there a problem with one of your women?" "Ellaine..." "I went to two caucuses." "I attended four meetings." "I talked to a hundred of our leaders." "I think, I have the right to relax, and drink." "Papa said..." "You didn't go to the others anywhere." "Papa said, you should've attended the funeral with Mrs. Medrano." "Papa said, she has a big clan, you'll gain many votes there." ""Papa said." Always "Papa said!"" "I'm sick of hearing of what Papa said!" "Well then." "Be amuck." "Let's see after you lose." "Let's see what marsh you would be picked up." "Do you know, Lyndon?" "Who's the most pathetic man in the Philippines?" "The sore loser in politics!" "Do you know what happens to them?" "They are turned to rags." "Not just any rag." "They are used to wipe the butt!" "Do you want that to happen to you?" "You seem self-contemplating." "Do you have a problem?" "I broke up with Santi." "Huh?" "Why?" "The guy seems nice." "And he seems to love you too." "Yeah, he loves me." "Only..." "I love somebody else." "Indeed, that's a problem." "We're both loveless now." "Loveless?" "Hell, no." "I'm getting married." "[Tires screech]" "[Tires screech]" "Shiela:" "I know Lyndon." "He hurts me." "And then make amends." "He allowed me to work, to minimize our arguments." "After the election," "I know he would make me quit." "He's planning something, Robert." "Robert:" "We'll go away." "To where?" "Wherever." "So where are we heading?" "This is already far from Manila." "[Birds chirping]" "Shiela:" "Whose house is that?" " It's ours." " Ours?" "I had this built for my former girlfriend." "I assumed that we would be together." "But apparently no." "She left me." "I thought this house would go to waste." "Then you came." "And JR too." "Now this house will not be wasted." "For we will live here with JR." "You know..." "Lyndon will not find us here." "Therefore, we can transfer as soon as possible." "Us?" "Aren't you going to the US, Obet?" "That you're going to America?" "Don't worry, Shiela." "I won't stay long in America." "I'll just indulge Mama." "Christine will likely stay there." "I'll be back for you." "We'll get married." "We'll get married." "I assumed before..." "I would be a mistress for life." "I assumed..." "That no man would accept a disgraced woman like me." "Why do you have a gun?" "Robert." "I need this to protect you." "Robert:" "I'm sure." "She already loves me after all." "Give this to the woman." "The title of the house and lot in Batangas." "Before you go to America." "Give this cheque to her." " Three million?" " That amount is enough for them to live a good life." "Ellaine." "I don't understand why you have to do this." "Ramon." "What do you want me to do?" "Assault the woman?" "She's not to be blamed for everything that happened." "It is my husband's fault." "And I know..." "Lyndon will not leave the woman." "The woman will not leave Lyndon too." "Unless..." "She falls in love with another man." "Ramon:" "You're one of a kind, Ellaine." "If you're a different person, you would have attacked the woman instead of giving her money and property." "I know my husband has responsibility to her." "Plus, I don't want my conscience bugging me." "Therefore, I gave her, what's appropriate for her" "So..." "Everything is set." "Robert." "Hasten your transfer." "Before Lyndon discovers this." "Shiela." "Shiela." " Wait." "I'm coming now." " Robert:" "Shiela!" "Wait." "Where's the nanny?" "She went out with JR." "Davao?" " We're going to Davao?" " We're leaving tomorrow." "Ready your stuff." "Wait a minute." "I thought we're going to hide in Batangas?" "Just trust me." "Robert." "Whatever you say." "I believe you." "You're the only one I have faith with." "The nanny might arrive soon." "Let her." "Oh!" "All right." "Lurie?" "Shiela." "Shiela?" "Shiela!" " Who's that?" " It's Lyndon, he's here." " Cripes." " Jeez." "Quick." "Um..." "Lyndon." " What took you so long to open?" " Um..." "I took a shower." "It's hot." "Here's your request." "Addition to your collection." "Thanks." "You're so sweet." "By the way..." " I have a good news." " Yes?" " What?" " My application is nearing approval." "That's good." "Hold it." "I need to take a leak." "Um, Hon!" "Why did you come home suddenly?" "You didn't call." "I had a conference in Manila Hotel." "That's why I visited." "I missed you." "I miss you so much too." "Come here, will you?" "Hold on now." "Wait." "Wait." "Wait." "Hey, Hon!" "Yeah?" "Hon..." " Let's just be here." " Let me do it first." "My journey was long." " Come on now." " Let me pee first." " Shiela:" "Let's go already." " Lyndon:" "Right, all right." "Shiela:" "Hurry up with that." "I'm done." "It's okay now." "[Door shuts]" "Mommy." "Why are you packing my stuff?" "My son..." "We'll go out tomorrow." "So, you'll sleep in my room." "Where are we going?" "We'll have a stroll." "Just promise me..." " ...that you won't tell your nanny." " Yes, I won't, Mommy." "Hello, sir." "It's about ma'am." "I heard." "She will leave, along with your son JR." "Son of a bitch." "Joseph!" "Richard!" "Sir!" "Sir?" "Ready the car." "We're leaving." " Right now!" " Yes, sir." " Where to, sir?" " Manila." "You know..." "I'm lucky." "Because..." "I found a man who will really love me." "My brother is the lucky one." "He found a woman who will love him for real." "Thank you for accepting me." "Even though..." "Even though you know my past." " Why don't you just join us in Davao?" " Davao?" "Christine?" "What Davao are you talking about?" "Isn't there we'll be hiding?" "[Thuds]" "Christine!" "What's the meaning of this?" " Give me that." " What's the meaning of this?" "Give it to me." "Give it!" " Hand it to me." " Our agreement was you'll hide Shiela in Batangas." "Not in Davao!" " Why are you changing the plan?" " I love her." "Fuck that!" "This is work!" "We're not talking about true love here." "Just let us be." "Let you?" "I persuaded for you to be included in this project." "Because I want us to get close." "I separated with Santi." "For I was hoping that you would love me too." "Christine, I love Shiela." "It's Shiela that I love, don't you understand?" "Robert." "Robert!" "Robert, just love me." "I ask nothing else but for you to love me." "Robert." "Robert!" "Bullshit, this will reach our boss!" "Robert." " JR?" " Asleep." "Hold on." "What's going on?" "We're leaving, Shiela." "I thought it's still tomorrow?" "Christine:" "You're not leaving." "You have no gratitude!" "Christine." "Robert, what's this?" "You want to know?" "This great brother I'm referring to is not my real brother!" "We were hired by Lyndon's wife." "To spy on you." "He will make you fall in love with him." "So you'd split with Lyndon." "We'll pretend to go to America." "But truthfully, we'll just return to the detective agency." "To find a new victim." "This bastard will leave you nonetheless." "Robert, what is this?" " Shiela." " Is Christine telling the truth?" " You animal!" " Sh-Shiela!" " Shiela!" " Animal!" "Shiela, listen to me." "Yes, I confess." "This is my job." "I tricked you in the beginning, but I'm not deceiving you now!" "Believe me, Shiela." "Shiela." "Shiela." "Shiela, look into my eyes." "Tell me that you don't love me." "Lyndon:" "Motherfucker." "You betrayed me." "Shiela." "I loved you, and I'm ready to leave my wife for you." "And this is how you repay me?" "Bullshit!" "And you." "Do you know what's done to a philanderer?" "Is to have his skull blasted!" "Don't!" "Don't!" "Mommy?" "Daddy!" "Don't interfere!" "Mommy!" "Daddy!" "JR!" "Don't move from there!" " Lurie!" " Lurie:" "Sir?" " Don't let the boy out!" " Yes." " Lyndon:" "JR, stay there!" " JR!" " Lyndon:" "Don't get out!" " Daddy!" "Hurry!" "JR!" "JR:" "Daddy!" "Mommy!" "Daddy!" "Mommy!" "Daddy!" "Mommy!" "Here!" "There!" "Mommy!" "Mommy!" "Hurry." "Quick, run!" "Uncle Robert!" "Uncle Robert!" " Man:" "Let's hide!" " Uncle Robert!" "Man:" "Run!" "Run!" "Come on!" "Man:" "Run!" "Run!" "Stop it!" " Lurie:" "JR!" " Daddy!" "Uncle Robert!" "Stop it!" " Man:" "Hurry up!" " Robert!" "Robert!" "Shiela!" "Shiela." "Quick." "They might catch us here." "Come on!" "Robert:" "Come on!" "Lyndon!" "Don't!" "Unhand me." " Enough of this!" " Please stop it!" "Finish him now." "Uncle Robert!" " JR, my son!" " JR!" " My son!" " JR!" "JR." "JR!" " Lyndon:" "JR." " JR, my son!" "Boss!" "I meant no harm!" "You asshole!" " Robert:" "JR." " JR." " Robert:" "JR." " JR!" "JR!" "JR." "Robert!" "Lyndon!" "Now you see?" " Lyndon:" "Ellaine!" " Because of your womanizing, your son got involved." "I kept it a long time." "I can no longer let this slip." "I got scared of what Papa would say." "I got afraid for you to leave me." "Hence, I concocted a plot." "So your woman would fall to another man." "Choose." "Her..." "Or me?" "[Police siren wailing]" "[Tires squeal]" "[Car doors shut]" "Robert." "Take the boy to a hospital." " JR, my son." " Lyndon, let them go." "If not..." "I'll blast your head." "Policeman:" "You can ride with us." "[Car engine starts]" "[Police siren wailing]" "Man:" "It's over." " Man:" "Are they dead?" " Man:" "What happened?" "Ramon:" "Good work, Christine." "It is not as so, boss." "I fell in love with my partner." "So the job was botched." "Not really, girl." "Just a few faults." "My husband chose me eventually." "Sorry, boss." "What for?" "Ellaine said so herself." "You did an okay job." "This is just a small bonus, girl." "For a job well done." "[Knocking on the door]" "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry too." "For I fell." "Because I really love you." "Shiela is returning this." "This is for her." "For you two." "So you can start a new life." "Thank you." "Six months later" "There." "We're almost finished." "I want, the biggest..." "The biggest castle in the world!" "I don't want..." "something like our house." "Come again, come again." "We can't do that, since this is just sand." "So..." "Let's do..." "Let's add cement." "Don't just sit there." " Get some water from there." " All right!" " Lazy kid." " This boy is thinking weird things." " How are you?" " I'm good!" "Where is my daddy?" "Um..." "He's resting." "Why?" "Is Daddy sick?" "Somewhat." "But..." "Not the same as your wound." "You know..." "There are wounds that can not be seen." "It's unlike the pain you felt when you were wounded." "Someday..." "When you grow up, you'll understand me." "JR, my child." "Finish up the castle." "We have something to talk about." "Yes." "I went here to say goodbye." "I want to see Lyndon's son before I leave." "Ellaine, thank you for our home." "For your help." "For everything." "Oh, you." "I should be the one thankful." "You're a good mother to JR." "And you returned my husband to me." "Aunt Ellaine?" "Next time, please." "I want a present." "What do you like?" "I hope, when you come back, my daddy is along with you." "Please tell him." "I'm no longer mad at him." "Very well." "Bye-bye, Aunt Ellaine!" "Bye-bye!" "Bye-bye!" "Bye-bye!"
