Hey, how are you?

You know, Eme, Nancy has already paid me a long time ago.

She paid you a long time ago?

I can't believe that woman!

But she can't seem to pay me yet.

She'll see.

[moans]

[man chattering]

[knocking] Nancy?

Nancy?

Nancy!

[moans]

When it's time to collect rent, you disappear!

Come out now!

I get angry quickly, especially when I'm collecting due rent!

We'll settle this at the barangay!

Benjo!

I'm close.

I'm close to losing all my patience!

Give it to me, Benjo.

Give me your rent, or you'll regret it.

We'll settle this at the barangay!

I'm coming.

Come out and face me!

I know you can hear me!

You won't face me, huh? Just wait.

You'll see.

You don't want to come out?

We'll see.

We'll talk at the barangay!

Find a new place to rent!

Oh, there you are!

I've been knocking for a while now.

Eme, you don't need to go this far.

Nancy, you haven't paid rent for three months.

Of course, I'll find a way.

I'll look for a new tenant.

Just wait, Eme, we'll pay.

My salary was just delayed.

What is this, period?

With consistent delays?

Last time, I sent money to the province because my mom needed a checkup.

Nancy, I didn't want to say this,

but if I keep pitying you, how will I make a living?

This is my business.

My livelihood.

Not a charity.

I'm begging you, Eme, please give us more time.

I'll find a way.

Please don't kick us out. We have nowhere to go.

Have mercy. Please.

Oh, if I didn't think of you like my own child.

Listen to me.

I'll give you one week to fix your problem.

If not…

Find a new place to rent.

Because I'm tired of your excuses.

Remember, one week!

Here, drink some water.

Sorry, Nancy.

I also sent money to Cabanatuan.

I can't help you.

Benjo, I don't know where to get extra money.

We both have responsibilities to our families.

Our pay from the convenience store aren't enough.

We have our own needs too.

Don't worry, I'll find a way.

It's not just about finding a way, Benjo.

We need a steady income!

One that can support our needs.

My needs.

Especially my family's needs.

Sir Dino, thank you for letting me work overtime.

I really need it.

You're lucky Jamela had an emergency.

Uh, Sir Dino, about my salary from last month…

Nancy,

with all the advances you've taken, do you think you still have any salary left?

Work harder to pay back your advances, okay? Alright.

Hey, Nancy, thank you so much.

Jam, wait. Do you have any extra?

I really need it.

Oh, Nancy, you know I have problems at home, that's why I'm going back, right?

Sorry.

Okay.

Nancy, have you sent money yet? Mom's asking.

Nancy, our brother needs to pay tuition next week.

Nancy, Mom's medicine ran out. We need to buy more.

[sighs]

Benjo, what are you doing?

I can see you're stressed.

I'm just calming you down.

You'll stress me out even more, especially if Sir Dino catches us, right?

You better go back to your post.

I can't relax, especially when I see you're not okay.

Can you even work properly with all this happening?

Are you stupid?

What if someone sees us?

The way you talk, you'd think we don't always do this.

- Stop it. - And besides,

there are no customers.

Sir Dino already left, I saw him go out the back.

Come on.

- Hey! Stop! - Let's just get our problems out.

Come on.

Benjo!

[moaning]

Hon...

Hon!

I'm sorry.

I didn't know Sir Dino was still there.

That jerk! He didn't have to...

Stop making excuses, Benjo!

It's our fault.

So what happens to us now?

You know we have a lot of bills and expenses.

Hon, don't worry, we'll find new jobs.

Do you think it's that easy?

The problem with you is you only think about yourself.

This already happened, right?

What else can we do?

I know it's my fault.

That's why I'm apologizing.

Will sorry bring back our jobs?

My job, Benjo!

If only you had behaved.

You know, as a security guard, you shouldn't be guarding against thieves…

But your own lust!

Your libido just cost us opportunities and my dreams!

You're so hurtful!

You're just proving how worthless you are!

Hon.

I'm sorry.

- Let go of me! - I didn't mean to.

Let go of me!

- Hon... - Get out!

- Leave! - Wait...

I'm sorry.

Hon, forgive me, I didn't mean to.

- Get out of my sight. - I'm sorry, hon.

- Leave! - Hon.

Get out. Leave!

- I didn't mean to. - Let go of me.

- Let go of me. - I'm sorry.

Leave!

[screams in frustration]

Sir Dino, have mercy, I need my job.

Nancy,

you should've thought of that before you and Benjo did something stupid here.

We admitted our mistake.

Sorry, Nancy, there's nothing I can do.

Nancy. Mom's asking when you can send money.

Mom's out of medicine.

Nancy Alindogan?

Is this the Irizalde residence?

I'm the one who called yesterday to inquire about the job.

Impressive resume.

Do you have a boyfriend, or a husband?

I have a boyfriend, but we're having problems.

If you're worried about it,

he's supportive of any job I take.

I still make decisions for myself.

Are you sure?

This isn't an ordinary job.

I'm sure.

And I'm good at housework, I can cook, do laundry, and clean.

We're not looking for a maid, we already have plenty.

Like my wife said, this isn't an ordinary job we're offering.

Some don't agree because they have a husband, or boyfriend.

Those who did agree, Jasper didn't like them.

Jasper is Kristof's younger cousin, my husband.

He's handicapped, and we're looking for a woman for him.

For your cousin?

For my cousin, Jasper.

Lately, we haven't been able to control his tantrums and anger.

So Alona and I thought,

why not find someone to be with him and take care of him.

Most importantly, someone who can fulfill his needs as a man.

Maybe it will improve his mood.

Huh?

We need a woman who can satisfy Jasper.

Sorry, but I can't do the job you're offering.

100 thousand pesos per month is the starting salary,

and it will increase depending on your performance.

[Jasper] Later.

[chattering]

[Woman] Sir, Sir Kristof will scold us.

[Jasper] I said I don't want to eat!

Why are you forcing me?

I'll eat later!

[Woman] Sir, you need to eat.

You have to take your medicine.

[Jasper] You think if I take those medicines, I'll be able to walk again?

[Woman] Sir, Sir Kristof will scold us.

[Jasper] I don't care!

[Jasper] Just leave!

And bore someone else with your excuses!

You shouldn't talk to her like that!

She's just doing her job.

Just because you're disabled,

doesn't mean you have the right to hurt others.

I get it, anyone who sees your situation would get it,

but that doesn't mean everyone around you has to be miserable too.

You're lucky you're still breathing, there's still hope.

You can still live because you have money.

While many people out there are struggling to find jobs

just to pay for their loved ones' treatments,

not even knowing if they'll still be with them tomorrow.

You just can't walk, but you're still breathing.

That means it's not the end of your life.

There's still hope.

Who are you?

Why do you talk like you know my life?

Sorry, sorry.

You must be Sir Kristof's cousin.

I'm sorry.

Oh, you're one of Kris's applicants.

You're leaving?

You don't want me because I'm a cripple?

Because I'm a damn freak?

I'm not rejecting the job your cousin offered because you're a cripple.

I'm rejecting it because I can't do what he's asking.

I can take care of you and serve you, but I can't do more than that.

Keep your money.

I only came here because I was desperate for money for my family.

Because I don't give up on life.

But I won't go as far as renting out my dignity.

If I were in your situation,

I'd accept that I can't walk as long as I have money,

as long as my family is happy.

Money isn't the only thing that makes life happy.

You're only saying that because you're not in my situation.

Accept the offer.

What are you doing here?

Hon, it's still my apartment.

Hon. I'm sorry.

Let's make up.

I don't want to see you anymore.

Hon, come on.

How long will you stay angry?

Eme came earlier,

reminding us about the three months' rent.

You handle it for now.

Hey, what are you doing?

You don't want to leave?

Fine, I'll leave.

You're leaving me?

I'm done with you, Benjo.

You've been a burden for much of our relationship.

I'm done.

So now you're leaving me?

If you leave, we're over.

Nancy!

Hey, Nancy!

Nancy!

I'm glad you changed your mind.

I promise you won't regret this.

I see you brought a lot of bags.

Ah...

I already left our apartment, I couldn't take my boyfriend anymore.

I stayed at my former coworker's place last night.

But don't worry, I'll find a new place to rent soon.

You don't need to find a new place.

Come on, I'll show you your room.

This will be your room.

We prefer this because it's easier for you to do your job.

I don't want to impose.

You can just deduct it from my salary.

No need.

Consider it part of your job perks.

We should be the ones thanking you for accepting our offer.

Oh, here he is.

You've already met, right?

You're so lucky because out of all the people I've introduced to my cousin,

you're the only one who passed.

Maybe he saw something in you.

You know what, hon, let's leave them alone.

Let them get to know each other better.

So they can be more comfortable with each other.

Nancy, don't be shy.

Think of this as your home.

The entire Irizalde family is happy to welcome you.

Okay?

Accept the offer, I'll take care of you.

I like you.

I mean, I like your personality.

You're different from the women Kris introduced to me.

I also like how optimistic you are in life.

That's why I want to help you.

Accept the job.

Nothing will happen between us.

Are you sure you're okay with this?

This is fine. It's more than enough.

Don't worry, I'll keep my promise as we agreed.

I haven't forgotten what I promised you.

Thank you, Jasper.

You don't know how much this will help my family.

I'm glad we found someone.

I just hope she won't be a problem for us.

She seems easy to talk to.

What I'm wondering is why she suddenly changed her mind.

Don't worry about that, the important thing is she'll calm Jasper down.

And it seems like my cousin likes her.

For now, come here and relax.

Good morning, bro.

Alona and I are heading out.

Nancy will take care of you.

And remember, I know it's been a while since you've done it, but be gentle, okay?

Let's go, Kristof. We're going to be late.

What do you plan to do today?

Why did you bring me here?

What are we going to do here?

This place is important to me.

It's been a long time since I've been here.

When my dad scolded me before,

or when I was sad and wanted to hide from the world, I came here.

It's my safe space, so to speak.

Why do you want to hide?

It's nice to go out and explore what else life can offer you.

If only I could do that.

But I'm tied to my responsibilities to my family.

I've been imprisoned for a long time.

There's so much I want to do for myself.

But I don't think about that anymore.

There are more important things than that.

But you,

there's still so much you can do.

You only lost your legs.

That doesn't mean you have to stop living your life.

You can still do it.

But for now, I don't want to do anything.

This setup we have, it's only Kris who wants it.

They think I just need to get laid.

That's why I'm always frustrated.

They thought that if someone touches me, I'll calm down.

They don't really know how I feel.

Because the truth is, they don't really care about me.

Why do you say that?

Let's not talk about that for now.

What do you want to do?

Simple.

Be happy.

I'm happy when my family is okay.

Have my own business so I don't have to rely on my salary.

I'm also happy with simple things.

Watching movies, resting.

Eating ice cream.

I only get to eat that on special occasions.

That's it.

Just be happy.

I'll eat later. I'll just join Manang.

From now on, you're not different from us, Nancy.

Treat us like your family.

Right, Jasper?

How was your day?

Any updates?

Don't pressure them, Kristof.

Let them be, I'm sure they're still shy around each other.

Thank you.

Sorry if it seems like I'm nagging,

I just want the best for Jasper.

Ever since Aunt and Uncle passed away, I've been his legal guardian.

And you know, they raised me like their own.

They gave me what my own parents couldn't.

I'm just returning their kindness.

That's why I want the best for my cousin.

I'm okay here. Thank you.

- Thank you, thank you. - Alright, sir

Alright, sir.

I'm okay here, Nancy.

You may leave now.

If this is about what happened earlier, don't think about it.

I understand.

I was just surprised because, given your condition,

I didn't expect that to still work.

I was surprised too.

Ever since the car accident that killed my parents,

I haven't been able to walk.

I became a paraplegic.

The lower half of my body has no feeling due to a spinal cord injury.

I don't even get erections anymore.

I was never a good son.

I was rebellious.

I was never a good boyfriend either.

I never lasted in relationships.

Maybe this is my punishment.

But the doctor said,

there's still a 25 percent chance I could feel an erection.

I stopped hoping until…

I don't know, Nancy,

I just suddenly felt it.

If I ever offended you, I'm sorry.

Good morning, I prepared breakfast for you.

Wow!

Because I'm not mad at you.

Like I said, I understand you.

Are we good?

What do you want to do today?

What about you? What do you want to do?

Wow, you did it.

- Here's our juice. - Wow, thank you.

Come on, I'm excited.

Have you picked a movie to watch?

I'll choose.

- Okay. - I hope you'll like it.

- Let's see. - Let's see.

That's my favorite...

Did you make this?

No, I asked someone to make it.

Is it good?

What flavor is this?

I don't want it anymore!

What? You're cheating again.

- I'm done. - Come here.

- You lose! - We're done playing.

- We're done playing. - Where are you going?

Hey, I don't want to.

Are you okay?

You're not being careful.

Look.

You thought you had me.

Yes.

Oh! Look!

I won!

You're cheating again.

Thank you for making me happy.

I should be the one thanking you because I'm happy when you're happy.

You're already making me happy.

Take me to my room, I have a surprise for you.

That surprised me.

Perfect, this is the surprise I have for you.

What is it?

Open it, the surprise is inside.

Is this for me?

Yes, it's for you.

Didn't you say ice cream makes you happy?

But it's better if we share.

Whoa!

Because I told you to ask for help when you can't handle it.

How is it?

- Is it good? - It's good.

You're really good at cooking.

I'm an okay cook.

Wait, let me get the fruits I prepared, okay?

Sure, thank you.

Come here.

I've noticed that you and Jasper are getting too close.

If I didn't know you and didn't know your situation,

I'd think there's something going on between you.

There's nothing, right?

I'll remind you of your place in this house.

I know you're getting intimate, and that's part of your job.

But don't hope for anything more than that.

I'm just concerned about you.

You should know your place.

If you hold on too tightly, you might get hurt when it's gone.

Remember, your role in Jasper's life has an expiration date.

Are you okay?

Why do you seem so down?

Why do you seem like Jasper a month ago?

Nancy, is there a problem?

Come on, tell me, what's the problem?

I'm just doing what I'm supposed to, Jasper.

It's better if we avoid each other for now.

Who knows where our feelings for each other might lead.

So what if we have feelings for each other?

It's not allowed!

Because you're my employer!

You're just paying me.

You're just renting my services.

Well, that's not how I see you.

But that's the reality.

Sir Jasper.

What happened between us, it was nothing, right?

You're paying me to do that, aren't you?

Nancy...

You shouldn't have done that.

What if Nancy starts worrying about it and leaves?

She's getting too comfortable with Jasper.

That was the goal, right?

To bring the two closer?

What if it goes beyond that?

What if Jasper falls in love with her?

They can't get married!

Before that happens, our plan should already have happened.

We need Nancy for those plans.

We need to have a hold on her.

Fine, I already know how we can control her.

You called for me?

I just want to apologize for what I said to you.

Maybe I was just too concerned about Jasper.

Maybe I was just jealous.

Because I know the pleasure you bring to Jasper,

and I want to taste that too.

It's nothing to me.

I'm looking for something my husband can't give me.

And only someone like you can give it to me.

Sorry for what I said to you.

I understand.

Actually, I also wanted to talk to you.

After all, with how much you're paying me,

I can also give you what I give to Jasper.

Rape!

- Rape! - What are you doing?

- Help! - Hey, shut it!

Help!

Jasper, help!

- They're taking advantage of me! Help me! - Come back here!

You shameless woman, what are you doing?

Help!

Hey!

What are you doing?

Don't you dare touch her!

They want to take advantage of me! You animals!

Jasper, that woman is lying.

What are you doing? Playing Scrabble naked?

- I'm not stupid, bro! - And you're going to believe her?

And you're really going to believe that woman?

Jasper, we're your family, you should believe us.

That's exactly it.

I know you so well!

I know, bro.

I know it very well.

Cousin!

Jasper. Please, come on.

- Stand up. - Believe me.

Don't do this to us, Jasper.

You bitch of a woman.

Your day will come, Nancy.

Cousin, that woman is just fooling you. She has a plan for you.

Let's go inside, stop talking so much.

- Faster! - Lock her up now.

- Get inside. - Cousin...

Hurry, get inside.

Don't bother explaining anymore.

Fine, I already know a way to handle Nancy.

How?

I'll take care of that.

What's important is that Nancy doesn't leave.

Make sure you've thought those plans through, okay?

Damn it, I don't want this to go wrong.

Our plan is still on.

When we kill Jasper, Nancy will still be the one blamed,

especially if the motive is money.

About the wealth left by our uncle and aunt.

I've wanted to take all the Irizalde fortune for a long time.

That will only happen once Jasper is gone.

That fool.

He's useless. He should be disposed of too.

And Nancy, she's the perfect prop for our perfect crime.

And we, we'll evade suspicion and accusations.

I wouldn't be surprised if Kris is capable of that.

I've known for a long time how ambitious he is.

He wants to take over Dad's place to run the farm and the company.

I wouldn't be surprised if he had something to do

with the incident that happened to us and led to Mom and Dad's death.

The police need to know about this.

But no one will be arrested if no crime happens, right?

Are you going to wait for them to do something to you?

I want them out of my life.

I'll beat them to it.

How?

I know they're planning to lure you

into having a threesome with them.

They do that to the helpers or the women they bring here.

If they try that with you, just give in.

I'll take care of you.

Good riddance.

Thank you for everything, Jasper.

For all the times you made me happy.

I will never forget that.

You have to go.

I'm setting you free, Nancy.

You've become so close to me, but I know this is the right thing to do.

When you love someone,

you have to set her free.

This isn't payment, it's my gratitude for everything you've done for me.

Use this to do everything you've ever wanted to do.

I want you to be free.

I want you to be happy.

Be free, Nancy.

I'll come back.

I'll come back for you.

I won't forget you.

Remember that.

I'll wait for you, Nancy.

I promise.

I'll wait for you.
