All language subtitles for Hipak.2025

Sometimes in a man’s life,

there are nights when you just get lucky.

You hit up a bar, spot a hot chick.

You work up the courage—start
talking, have some drinks.

A little flirting on the dance
floor, a few more rounds…

and next thing you know,

it’s just the two of you in a room.

Of course, if she’s all in…

then you better be all in too, bro!

And you really hit the jackpot if she
turns out to be even wilder than you!

That’s the thing…
Sometimes, the luck hits fast—

Son of a bitch! That’s my girlfriend!

But the bad luck? Hits even faster.

Poor guy. He was this close…
But damn, lost it all.

Good thing he’s my bro –

And I have his back.

They were shouting my name…

- Abu!
- Abu!

Abu.

Short for Automatic Beat down Unit.

- Abu!
- Abu!

Even if it’s just me against all of them—

It’s not about how many hits you take.

It’s about how fast you hit first.

That’s enough, Bro. They’ve already lost.

But there’s still one left.

And I’m not letting it slide
that they broke your nose.

But Bro, you’ve more than made up for it.
Let’s call it even.

Take it easy. This will be quick.

I’m letting you know my next move.

Right to the body… Flying knee.

[background cheering]

- Abu!
- Abu!

Great job, Boss Abu!

Graduation’s tomorrow—
don’t wanna get in trouble.

- What’s wrong with you?
- I’m already freezing out here.

Alright, alright.
You might catch a cold or something.

And hey—congrats!

Good thing you didn’t freeze
when you made your move on that girl.

Too bad she had a boyfriend though.

But thanks again, bro.

Like always—if it weren’t for you,
who knows what would’ve happened to me…

Come on, let’s go.

Boss Abu!
He’s charging in again!

Luck or bad luck…
that’s not what brought me down this night.

It was pride.

Stupidity.

If I had just listened to Tyrone…
None of this would’ve happened.

My life wouldn’t have gone to shit.

Bro! Welcome back!
What are you doing just standing around?!

Just checking out your vape shop, Bro.

Looks like you picked a great spot—
lots of foot traffic.

And the name’s a
winner too... Vape Bros.

It’s our vape shop, Bro!

And I know you’ll get
the hang of things quick.

You’ll even enjoy it…

Come on, let me give you a tour!

Okay let’s go!

I missed you!

Come on, Bro.
Just leave your stuff here for now.

Okay. Will do.

Over here on the right
is our specialty coffee.

Look.

The machine looks complicated,
but I’ll teach you—it’s actually easy.

Nice. You even thought of
combining coffee and vaping.

All because of our hangout days, remember?

We used to sneak puffs...

So now, I made a place where people
can hang out and vape—legally.

Looks like it’s working with the students
and call center agents who come here often.

And of course, when they come here, we’ve
got every kind, brand, and flavor of vape—

whatever they’re into, we’ve got it.

And not just them…
This place is also a regular hangout for –

Surprise!

Abu!

We missed you, Bro!

Bro, what’s up?

Bro! How’s life?

How's life, bro?

There—our frat hangout spot.

That’s why there’s always someone
dropping by to mess with you here!

Sorry, bro. I’ve been on
back-to-back hospital shifts,

couldn’t visit you much
while you were inside.

Same here, man. The firm’s swamped
with cases. I’m sorry too.

I’ve been tied up with our hardware store.
No time for anything else lately.

It’s all good, Bros. No hard feelings.

So, Boss Abu? What’s the plan tonight?
Since it’s your first night out of prison!

Yeah! It’s been a while
since we hung out with-

Abu! Abu! Abu!

Let’s drop that, Bros. Just call me Roy.

Okay Roy. I’ll show
you your new room first.

You guys take care of yourselves here.

- Yeah.
- Let's go.

Okay let’s catch up more later.

Come in, Bro.

Here, Bro. So you have something to use—
and it’s for the shop too.

I only got held up with the bed
frame. The delivery got delayed.

That’s why I couldn’t pick
you up when you got out.

Sorry about that.

You don’t have to say sorry, Bro. I
can fix this up. This is already a big win.

It’s not just the bed frame, Bro...
It’s everything that happened to you.

If it weren’t for my mess back then,

you wouldn’t have gotten
dragged into that fight.

You wouldn’t have
seriously hurt that guy.

During your hearing, I tried to
explain to your parents. Even to Tina.

Told them it was all my fault.
You were just defending me.

You weren’t at fault, Bro.

You were already trying to
pull me away. I just didn’t listen…

Tina’s married. And I’m happy for her.

My parents... they haven’t
talked to me in a long time.

That’s why I want to fix my life.

So when I finally face them again...

They might still accept me.

I don’t need your apology, Bro.

But I need to say “thank you.”

Thank you—for this, for the job...

and most of all, for giving
me a chance to start over.

You’re right. Move on, Bro.

Let’s leave the past behind.

You’re so dramatic.

Okay. You rest for now.

I’ll take care of this.

It’s not just about moving
on, Bro—it’s about being better.

That’s what I want to do.
I don’t want to break Tyrone’s trust,

so I’m all-in with the job he gave me.

Every vape—I tasted it.

Every gadget, every tool—I studied it.

And after being inside that long… I had
to relearn how to deal with people too.

But more than anything—
no more getting mad. No more arrogance.

[indistinct Conversation]

But more than anything—
no more getting mad. No more arrogance.

What’s wrong with this vape?
It’s so expensive! How can it be faulty?!

Like this guy—one PUNCH, and it’s over.

But no. Not anymore.

Sorry, Sir.

Not just replacement but also a refund.

The thing is, even if I’m out… There’s
still a part of me that feels trapped.

It’s hard always being alone.

I hope I still get the chance
to have someone by my side.

Someone who’ll love me.

If that ever happens…
I think that’s when I’ll finally feel free.

Finally feel happy.

Is this what I’ve been praying for?

It’s my first time vaping. Do
you have a recommendation?

If it’s your first time, something
mild would suit you better…

Here, ‘White Sunshine’

Alright, let me try that.

It’s smooth and cool on
the chest when you puff.

What’s your name by the way?

Roy Abueva… At your service!

I’m Claire. Is this how you do it?

Just go slow…

once you feel it in your
chest, that’s when you exhale.

Tastes good!

Thanks for the suggestion,
Roy! I’ll pay now...

Can I get your number too?

So next time, you can
reserve this flavor for me?

Here, here...

Save it, okay?

- Sure.
- Thanks again, Roy!

This is the firm’s biggest
case. I need all hands on deck.

Dark Sparkle, two pods. Now.

Set it up for me, please!

Thanks! I’m just so stressed.

Here’s my card. So next
time you can just deliver to me.

Promise, bro! Right after you left,
another super hot customer came in…

Bought Dark Sparkle.

Who’s hotter?

Do you have Berry Red?

We do, ma’am. How many?

I’m going clubbing… Two pods, please.

Do you like dancing too?
Want to come with me?

I’m not really good at it…
and I’m on shift until late.

Do you have IG?

Yes.

I’m Ruby by the way.

There—we’re friends now. Next time
I run out at the club, bring me some?

Thanks, Ruby. I’m Roy, by the way.

Just practicing… just in case.

That’s cute. See you, Roy.

Here keep the change.

So let me get this straight... That hot?
And you met all three of them in one day?

I saw the first one—Claire. Later, I’ll
show you Samantha and Ruby on the CCTV.

Well, damn, Bro. If they’re all that fine—
what are you waiting for?

Exactly!

It’s not every day they’re the ones who
gave you their numbers and added you on IG.

Don’t waste that!

But... what if it was just about the vape?

- Don’t be negative, Bro.
- Don’t be weak, Man.

From what you said—one
laughed at your jokes,

one danced in the
shop, one asked you out.

They wouldn’t do that if they
weren’t at least a little interested.

Yeah... maybe. But which
one should I text first?

- All of them!
- All of them!

You haven’t dated in six years, Bro.
And who knows who’ll actually reply?

Okay… Wait.

Looks like I struck out, Bro.

Just wait a little.

Don’t be so negative, Bro.

Woah!

There you go.

All of them are game to go out with me!

You’re so lucky!

God is giving you a blessing, Bro!

You're treating us to brunch.

Of course! I know a good pares place.

This is cool.

You know, this flavor’s legit.

Every time I get stressed
from exams... this is my go-to.

Next time, study at the shop.
I’ll let you try a new flavor.

500 calories burned.
That was a good workout.

You know what burns even more calories?

I told you.

Hi, Samantha. I brought your pods.

Thanks…

So, what do you want to start with?

Drinks… dinner...

Or me?

Of course—you!

Your turn!

Ruby!

Seems like you’re ready for our date.

Just making sure I don’t step
on your feet when we dance later.

Here… so you’ve got
something to use tonight.

Thank you.

Hey… what happened there?

Oh, nothing. I was careless.
Bumped into a door.

I don’t want to butt in, Ruby…
but that doesn’t look like a door did it.

Did someone hurt you?

It’s my ex… We broke up a while ago,

but he’s still bothering me.

Where is he? Let me take care of him.

Really? You’d do that for me?

Yes.

You’re sweet, Roy.

But that’s over. The cops are involved now.
He won’t bother me again.

Alright…

but if anything comes up, I’ve got bros
who are lawyers. If you ever need help..

There’s something else you can do for me.

Name it. Anything.

Can we just stay here?

I feel like I’d rather have a quiet night…

Just us.

Getting to know each other.

Sure.

Honestly… I’m not really
excited to go clubbing either.

Because of your dancing skills?

No…

It’s loud, chaotic, too many
people. It overwhelms me.

Why? You’ve got me with you.

I haven’t done that in six years…

Six years?!

Why—were you in a seminary or something?

No…

I was in prison.

How did that happen?

You don’t seem like the criminal type.

Back in college… I got into a fight.

My best friend—the guy
who owns this vape shop—

I just wanted to defend him…

but it was my fault too. I went too far.

I hurt the guy bad. So yeah.
I got caught in the mess.

Maybe that’s just who you are.

You don’t like seeing the
people you care about get hurt.

Especially your best friend.

You know… even if we don’t hit the club—

We can still dance right here.

I’ll take these extra stocks
to the second branch, Bro.

List whatever’s left
properly for inventory—

so you don’t over-order
from the supplier.

Hey, Bro. What’s wrong?

While I’m busy with the other branch,
you can’t be distracted here.

Sorry, Bro. Of course—you
can still count on me.

Things are just moving so fast.

I’ve been out of the loop for so long…

Is this really how dating is now?

Right away, I’ve got stuff going on
with Claire, Samantha, and Ruby.

Come on, Bro…

Even back in college,
online dating was a thing.

Girls were already making the first move.

While you were away, they just got bolder.

But it’s not just about sex for you, right?

Like they say—best to
start on the right foot.

So no one gets hurt, including you.

Might be time to decide, Bro.

Especially if you’re
looking for something real.

You’re right, bro.

Alright, I’ll check on the
other stocks at the back.

Go ahead.

- You take care of things here.
- Okay.

“If only I had three hearts…”

Now I get that song.

Claire… She’s fun to be with. Exciting.

Samantha… Different.

She’s the only one who’s
ever made me give in like that.

But Ruby…

She’s the only one I can really talk to.

There’s no rush when I’m with her.

And I have this feeling…

That she needs me.

That we need each other.

“Thank you for everything, Claire.

But it’s better if we don’t
see each other again.”

He sent me the same message.

Looks like he chose you, Ruby.

Why are you smiling?

I just thought… if it were some other guy,

he probably would’ve just used us.

Dated all three of us for sex.

But Roy… he still showed some decency.

Hold up. Why do you sound affected?

Don’t fall for it, Ruby.
This is good for us.

If Roy’s a nice guy, that
makes him easier to manipulate.

Why aren’t you dressed yet?!

I’ve got VIPs at the club tonight…

Go freshen up, shave,

do whatever it takes—make
me some damn money!

Enough, Papa Jaime. There’s still time.

We’re doing everything we
can to make you money, right?

Money?!

How am I supposed to make money
when you still owe me so much?!

Your mother… Your brother…

They only got better because of my money…

If you don’t follow orders...

Or else my contacts in your province

will come knocking on your families’ doors.

Get changed. Now!

Go ahead with the plan.

It’s the only way we get out of this hell…

And away from that demon.

You’ve been staring at me all day. We’re
gonna be together the whole day, you know?

Babe, I still can’t believe I have
a girlfriend—who looks like you.

I already said yes…

And after everything we’ve already done…
you’re still sweet-talking me?

I mean it, Ruby.

It really feels like I’ve started a
new life. And it’s all because of you.

I’m happy with us too, Roy….

Which is why… I’m nervous
about meeting your friends.

Especially Tyrone. I know
how important they are to you.

They’re like brothers to
me. We like the same things.

So if you and I get along—no
doubt they’ll love you too.

Don’t worry. Come on!

Bros!

This is Ruby, Guys.
These are my bros—Allan, Bong, and Cris.

Roy’s told me a lot about you guys.

Now I wanna hear your side of the story—

so I can get to know my boyfriend better.

We’re ready to spill everything!

Just stories, bro. Just stories.

I’ll just check on Tyrone.

It’s okay—go.

[background chattering]

Hey!

Everything okay, bro?

I know you’ve been
having a great time

these past few weeks,
bro... Because of Ruby.

But I checked the
inventory… and it’s a mess.

The new branch isn’t even stable yet—
and we’re already at risk of losing money.

I’m really sorry, bro. I
didn’t mean to screw up.

It’s okay. I fixed it.

But bro…

I only had the guts to open
the new branch because of you.

I’m counting on you.

I get it—you’re
happy, and I want that.

But please... don’t let this
happen again. This is still work.

Of course, bro. I’m really sorry.

I promise—I’ll stay focused.
I won’t let you down again.

Come on, let me introduce you to her.

Ruby, this is Tyrone.

Hi, Tyrone! Nice to meet you!

Same here...

Gotta go, bro. It’s the
contractor from the other branch.

I don’t think he likes me…

No, no—he’s just busy right now.

You’ll get to bond with him next time.

Cris, what the hell?!
My eyes! That hurt!

Sorry! Didn't know this
new sample was so strong!

It’s the first time I’ve
seen Tyrone mad at me...

I really need to make it up to him.

Should we start cutting back on our dates?

Don’t say that, babe…

Let’s still see each other—but
maybe just here at the shop?

So I can stay focused on work.
Is that okay?

Okay… But I also
have a favor to ask.

What is it?

I started a small business.

I sell handmade goods to help
the poor families in our barangay.

Would it be okay to use your
shop as a drop-off and pick-up point?

I just messed up, babe…

Tyrone might not go for it.

Please, babe…

It would help me save on shipping…

So the folks back home can earn more…

We’d be helping a lot of people...

Okay, baby…

Thank you, Baby.

I need to make it up to Tyrone...

But I also want to help Ruby out.

Besides… her “tip” for
doing this? Totally worth it.

Pick-ups are fast. I just hand it off—done
Doesn’t even get in the way of work...

If this keeps up… we’ll finally be free!

Great job, bro. Sales are up!

Of course, bro! Told you I’d step up.

I’ve been going all-in with customers…

even Ruby helps when she’s around.

Looks like you and
Ruby are getting serious.

Exactly! That’s why I was thinking

maybe we can all hang out soon—
so you can really get to know her too.

Yeah, sure. I guess I came off
cold when you first introduced us.

Not like that, bro.

Perfect timing, bro—she’s on her way now!

That my best friend and
my girlfriend… finally bonding!

Of course!

That might be her!

That vape smells good, miss…

Does it smell as good as you?

Hey!

You asshole!

- Roy!
- Asshole!

That’s sexual harassment.
We’ve got everything on CCTV.

Roy!

Leave now or we call the cops.

Leave! Just leave! Or else we
will really call the cops on you!

Asshole!

You okay, babe?

Are you?

What the hell, bro?! If
that had turned into a fight,

you would’ve put my
shop—and yourself—at risk.

You want a repeat of what happened before?

Bro, come on. You saw that.

He disrespected Ruby!

Yeah, but there’s a right way
and a wrong way to handle it.

Just like what you’ve
been doing behind my back.

Both of you... I checked the CCTV.

I saw those packages
she’s been handing over.

That’s mine, Tyrone. Just stuff
for my online business. Sorry.

That’s fine, Ruby.

What’s not fine is you not telling me, bro.

I didn’t even bring it up earlier.

I was trying to keep things
smooth—for us. For you.

I’m sorry, bro… please don’t be mad.

I’m not mad, bro. It just hurts.

After everything, you kept
something from me. You lied to me.

Bro… I’m sorry…

Bro… Wait…

Samantha… how much are we
making from Roy’s last pick-up?

That’s three more
packages. Around 150 grand.

That’s enough to pay off
our whole debt to Papa Jaime.

Yes.

Then we can stop using Roy.

Nope.

What else do we need from him?

I made a deal with my VIP.

If we sell his product
well, we prove ourselves.

He’ll bring us into his main business.

What main business?

That’s why we need Roy.
His shop’s the perfect spot.

And more importantly— he’s the
perfect fall guy if anything goes wrong.

That wasn’t part of our plan...

And he’s already starting to suspect me.

Especially now that he
fought with his best friend.

Then work him harder in bed.
Make sure he stays in line.

Listen to yourself… You
sound just like Papa Jaime.

And listen to you…

Sounds like you actually care about Roy.

Are you falling for him?

Don’t be stupid, Ruby.

We spent years being used by men.

But this time— When we
become partners with my VIP.

We will be the ones in
control. We can finally hit it big.

Please, Ruby.

You and Claire treated me like
your big sister when you got here...

I took care of you, taught you everything,

helped you survive this place.

I’m asking to trust me.

Just follow the plan.

Start getting ready too.

If we don’t show up at the club,
Papa Jaime might start asking questions.

Okay… I’ll follow.

Stop resisting, bro.

Stop resisting, bro.

It’s Henry’s stag party—he’s
paying for everything.

Perfect timing too. Might
help you cool off about Roy.

Am I right?

Stay here, Bro. It’s free.

- Just enjoy!
- Enjoy, bro!

Sorry. Kissing is only
for the ones you love.

Wait… have we met before?

Uh… I just have one of those faces.

White Sunshine? Dark Sparkle?

Bro, can we talk—

Forget our fight for now.
This is more important.

I saw White Sunshine... and Dark Sparkle.

- What about them? You into one of them?
- No!

I still have their numbers—

No. At Henry’s stag party... I saw them.

They know each other.
They’re working girls.

They lied to you.

The day they all came here.

You even said it yourself—you
couldn’t believe your luck.

That wasn’t a coincidence. I wouldn’t
be surprised if Ruby’s in on it too.

Bro, easy… Claire and
Samantha are different from Ruby.

I know her. We love each other.

She wouldn’t lie to me—not
the way you’re thinking.

You’re blinded by your feelings, Bro.

Here’s how we find out the truth.

Hey, what are you going to do?

Bro, wait—

Son of a bitch, Roy… They’re gun runners!

Roy, wait! What are you gonna do?
Where are you taking that?

I’ll go straight to Samantha
and Claire. I’ll find out the truth.

Hold on. Wait—let me come with you!

This is on me, bro.

I don’t want you caught in my
mess. I’ll take these far from the shop—

So you don’t get dragged in.

Roy, wait! You might need backup…

What if Ruby isn’t the only one involved?

Exactly, Bro…

I’ll do everything to protect her.
And you too.

Bro.

Roy!

Bro!

I’ll fix this.

I’ll make things right.

Roy! Bro! Goddammit—

From how you described him…

Sounds like the guy
you dealt with earlier

was Roy’s friend— the
owner of the vape shop.

Good thing you got away.

Our world’s getting smaller, Sam.

Maybe Ruby’s right…
Maybe we should stop all this.

Sure, we’ve cleared our debts—

but we’re broke.

Where do you think we’ll end
up? Back with some other pimp?

We’ve come so far, Claire...

This kind of chance doesn’t come twice.

Ruby can’t see it right now—because of Roy.

I knew it...

Ruby had nothing to do with your game.

From the way you were talking,
this— This is part of your plan.

Which means… it matters to you.
If you want it back—

You’re gonna tell me everything.

Wait… You opened it?!

What did you do to
Ruby?! Huh?! You bastard!

I didn’t do anything to her!

What the hell are you saying?!

We haven’t been able to reach her.

She’s not answering our calls.

One of you go back
to the club. Roy’s there.

The other one, swing by
here. Get me out. Okay?

Yes! Just do it!

Roy?

You!

You’re the reason this is all happening...

What happened to you?

Was it because of the guns
you brought into my shop?

Come on. Tell me.

That confirms it.

You’ve been running a side hustle—behind
my back— with Samantha and Claire.

Son of a bitch...

Sorry, pretty boy.

You’re part of this now.

Right now, what matters is Ruby.

If you think Papa Jaime has her…

Where would he take them?

Papa Jaime’s got girls in a bunch of clubs.

Aside from this one,
he’s got spots down south.

Then we check them one by one.

I’ll call in help from my brothers.

Didn’t know you had your
own little side hustle, Sam.

Turns out your VIP client’s
also connected to me.

I always find out.

You’ll hand over everything you earned.
And every gun you’ve got.

I’ll make the deals now.
I’ll be their new partner.

Or else…

Wait! Wait!

Let’s just do what he says.

I don’t want Ruby getting hurt.

Shit… Everything we worked for…

I have a plan.

I get it—you had debts, you
were running from something...

But why drag my shop into it?

Why Roy?

We were looking for a location...

Then Sam found out Roy
was fresh out of prison...

That’s when the plan formed.
He became the target.

She said the shop was perfect.

And if things went south...

Roy—an ex-con—would be the fall guy.

Part of me…
I was glad she picked me.

Because when I got to know Roy—
Your friend was different.

I thought it was just sweet talk…
But it wasn’t.

He really would do anything
for the people he cares about.

You’re in love with Roy?

Yes.

That’s why I went to Papa Jaime.

To pay off everything.

So I could finally be free.

So I could be with
Roy—for real. No more lies.

But because of that…

Papa Jaime started to suspect
what me and Samantha were doing.

You two talk too much.

Who is this Roy anyway, huh?

The way you’re talking—what
is he, a superhero?

Not just a hero.

A legend. ABU.

Automatic. Beat down. Unit.

No matter how many, even alone—
he’ll fight.

Never backs down.

He’s fast. In seconds,
he’ll take them all down.

Let’s see about that.

I’ve seen Roy drop guys bigger than that.

Three at once.

And if someone matters to him,
He’ll protect them with everything.

That’s why I’m sure...
He’s on his way here.

And Samantha and Claire.
They won’t leave me.

You’ll get it from them too!

We’re here! The guns are here.

And the money’s here too.

Check if it’s all there.

Hey, hey—what’s that?

Just a puff, man. Things are getting tense.

Son of a bitch! What this?

Now!

Come in! Come in!

Raise your hands!

Thank you, Bro. That’s it, bro?

I thought you were bringing
back ABU—ready to throw down.

I thought about it too…
But then I remembered what you told me.

I don’t want to repeat my old mistakes.
I didn’t want you or Ruby getting hurt.

And—there’s a right way and a
wrong way to fix things, right?

That’s why we called the cops.

I gave them the key to the backroom.

This time, I listened to you.
I chose what’s right.

Okay, Bro. Thank you again…

One of my frat brothers is a
lawyer. He’ll help you testify.

You’ll be key witnesses
against Papa Jaime

and that gun runner
Samantha was dealing with.

When all this is over… we’ll
still see each other, right?

Yeah. I’ll wait for you.

So, bro? Shift time?
We’re open 24 hours, right?

You know, bro… back inside,

I used to think every day
about luck and misfortune.

If the other guy got lucky, maybe
I wouldn’t have knocked him out…

If you didn’t get with his girl,

maybe there wouldn’t have been a fight.

But I always ended up
thinking just one thing—

That no matter what
happened… I was still lucky.

Because you met three
super hot girls in one day?

That too.

But more because I met you.

We became friends.
We became brothers.

You never once turned your back on me.

Always, bro.

We’re solid.

Now come on—
We’ve got a mess to clean up.

Let’s go.
