I officially name the new CEO of Cabrera News,

Walter Cunanan!

So, you wanted Walter to be the CEO all this time.

After all that I did?

Just accept that Walter

is a better choice than you!

Most of the time, the lie we tell ourselves

is the lie that hurts us the most.

I use the money I earn here on important things.

Because I won't work here forever!

If you find a man

who will truly love you

and will get you out of this place!

Where were you the night Walter Cunanan died?

Are you saying I have something to do with Walter's death?

I didn't kill him!

Are you looking for trouble?

I need you. I can pay you.

One million.

One million?!

Wow!

If I have a million,

I'll open a mini grocery.

And I'll resign from this job.

Oh, if I have that kind of money,

I will travel to Boracay,

Palawan, Batanes, Iloilo,

and I'll swim with the whale sharks!

You won't bring us with you?

Of course, I will!

- I can't come. - Why?

I'm managing my new grocery store, remember?

So, will you take his offer?

No.

Hey, we're talking about a million.

One million, oh please. I'm not a fool!

What person in their right mind would give a million so easily?

Who? Tell me.

I don't trust people like him.

I don't know what's going through his mind.

- He looks rich. - He's cute and charming, too.

Exactly. That's the type of people who trick others.

What if he abducts and kills me?

What will happen to my siblings?

Fair enough. He might be a weirdo.

I'm willing to get scammed

by someone as handsome as him.

Can I see his calling card?

Let me see.

Look, he works in Cabrera News.

Maybe he just wants to interview you.

This is why you two get scammed often.

This can be easily made.

I can make one for you if you want.

He was wrong for thinking that he could fool me.

Where's the trash bin?

Why aren't you answering the police officer's questions?

I know what you did there.

I have eyes everywhere.

I didn't do anything wrong.

They're mad at me.

They're going to twist anything I say.

Then why are you acting like you're hiding something?

What do you know about Walter's death?

Nothing.

You don't even have to ask.

Cabrera News is on the line, Vincent.

No one is indispensable

in the Cabrera Group of Companies,

not even my children.

Weren't you the one who raised me?

Shouldn't you know the answer to that?

A desperate man can do anything.

You can call me desperate.

But I'm not evil.

Then fix it.

Prove me wrong because if you can't,

Cabrera News isn't the only thing you'd be losing,

but also your family.

I won't let the Cabrera name be ruined just because of this.

Argh!

Man.

Your awards.

They're shattered.

Man.

Why are you acting this way?

I'm just trying to get things off my chest.

Looks like you've done a pretty good job at it.

I need to clear my name, George.

Hold on.

Is this because of Walter?

Just let the cops do their job.

Sooner or later, the truth will come out.

That's the problem, George.

I feel like the cops will implicate me

because of the video of me and Walter fighting.

And so?

You only need to prove one thing, right?

You weren't at the crime scene when the incident occurred.

Then you're off the hook.

Ms. Morales, we already managed your brother's asthma.

But while we were monitoring him,

we conducted a few tests.

We discovered a new condition.

He has a ventricular septal defect

or VSD.

What's VSD?

He has a hole in the heart.

People with VSD are prone to asthma.

His symptoms came out late,

that's why it wasn't detected right away.

He needs immediate surgery.

Surgery?

How much money will the surgery cost?

More or less half a million pesos.

Half a million pesos?

Half a million pesos, half a million pesos.

Sir, come in.

That's all of it?

A typhoon just passed, sir.

A lot of CCTVs malfunctioned.

So the CCTV around Walter's villa wasn't working?

Did you see anyone...

he was with after the event?

Sir, there were a lot of people that night.

Aside from the day of the event,

did you see Walter around?

Oh yes, sir. I almost forgot.

He was here during the food tasting.

Do you have footage of it? Can I see?

Here, sir.

Sir Ricardo.

There's something you need to know.

Stella...

Stella, I'm scared.

What if what happened before happens again?

I don't want to lose another sibling again.

Katherine,

I want you to keep this in mind.

That's not going to happen again.

That'll not happen again.

Do you understand these rights?

Wait! The drugs aren't mine! I don't use drugs!

Just come to the station.

I don't know who owns them! Those aren't mine!

I'm begging you! Why are you taking me?!

Auntie Linda!

Please take care of Joy!

I'll fix this!

Stella!

Stella!

Don't worry. I'll get out of here soon.

Just wait a little more.

We'll be together again and we'll never be separated.

I'll find a way.

I'll not do to you what Ma did to us.

Where's Joy?

How is Joy, Katherine?

Does she still have milk?

What is it?

Stella...

sorry.

Joy is missing.

Auntie Linda didn't know what happened.

She said she left her for a while.

Stella, Joy was gone.

We've looked for her everywhere.

Stella, the bar is still closed!

Stella, I know there's cash in trash but--

There's none there!

What are you looking for?

The calling card.

It's Vincent Cabrera's.

The one I threw away. Then I put a gum in it!

I know! But I thought you didn't trust him?

What brought you here?

I just have a few questions to ask.

So you and Walter were close?

I almost forgot.

The food tasting at the resort.

A few days before Walter died.

Yeah. Uh...

we were together that night.

We organized Dad's birthday.

F-Food tasting.

He fed you?

Oh, we were just messing around.

We needed to taste a lot of food so, uh...

and we were all friends.

Is that bad?

Not really. But in the investigation,

it showed that you really were close.

He was the best man at your wedding.

A godfather at the christening.

Am I right?

Yes.

That's why what happened to him is really hard for us.

Is this familiar to you?

This was on the crime scene.

At Walter's villa.

There's a letter C inscribed on it.

Any idea who owns this?

Uh, please come in, Sir Zamora.

Yes.

Uh, that's mine.

I didn't see the picture clearly.

The picture is blurry.

How did this get into Walter's villa?

Maybe it fell when I went there.

You went to Walter's villa that night?

To apologize for what happened to him and Vincent.

You know what happened with those two, right?

They got into a fight at Dad's birthday.

We've seen the video.

Maybe that's when my ring fell.

It has gotten loose.

You know, I've been losing so much weight from stress.

Around what time was that?

Uh, maybe....

Maybe around 10PM?

Where were you around 12 midnight?

Bea and I were heading home.

Just the two of you? You weren't with Vincent?

Vincent said he had to do a coverage.

We talked to his staff.

They said no one followed him.

Really?

I didn't know that.

Excuse me, Ma'am.

Yes, hello.

Sir, the forensic report is out.

There are fingerprints all over Walter's villa.

One of them matches Claudia Cabrera's.

The other one matches Vincent Cabrera's.

Okay.

Thank you.

Ma'am, I'm sorry.

Just a few more questions.

Did Vincent have any more resentment towards Walter?

Actually, sir...

I don't know how to say this to you.

But Vincent gets jealous of Walter.

Is there something he has to be jealous of?

He thinks

Walter likes me, but Walter and I were just friends.

I don't know what's happening to Vincent.

But maybe he's...

he's...

pressured with the Cabrera News.

Sir...

There's something you need to see.

Sir, this is what Vincent was wearing that night.

How well do you know your wife?

She's my wife.

Of course, I know her very well.

So you were aware that they were together at the resort?

They even organized your dad's birthday. Right?

She didn't need to tell me because I trust her.

You trust her.

Food tasting. Take a look. They look so sweet. See that?

If I didn't know them, I'd assume they're newlyweds.

Honeymooners.

This stays between us.

Do you get jealous?

Because it seemed like...

there was something more. The way they held each other.

T-That is--

There's no malice in that.

We were close friends.

I was also fed by Walter in the past.

We got that from Walter's villa.

Your wife's ring.

Did you know that your wife went to Walter's villa?

No.

No?

Really? You didn't know?

What if your wife has been cheating on you

and you still have no idea?

What if your wife has been cheating on you?!

Would you have any idea?!

Sir.

There's a woman outside looking for you.

Who is it?

She'll corroborate Vincent's alibi.

Let's get this over with.

That's not what I need.

What?

Memorize all of this.

Memorize-- What's that?

I need to clear my name.

I'm a suspect in a murder case.

You need to tell the cops

that we were together the whole night.

I need you to be my alibi.

Don't drag me into your mess.

- I'm innocent. - I don't care!

I've been in jail!

I know how these cops operate.

They only believe in things they want to believe.

I can't go back in there. I have siblings to take care of.

And I wouldn't do it for you!

What makes this different from what you're doing?

You also tell your customers what they want to hear.

You're used to lying.

Yes. I lie to survive.

Not to cover someone's wrongdoing.

There's a huge difference! Hope you know that!

You're not going to lie.

As a matter of fact, you'll tell the truth.

You were with me that night.

One million pesos is pretty big.

You'll say no it?

Were you with Vincent Cabrera the night Walter Cunanan died?

And how did you know Mr. Cabrera?

He's my customer at a bar where I work.

We were together

the whole night.

What did you guys do?

What else could it be?

Of course...

I gave him a good time.

I'm a dancer.

Escort.

What time did you two meet?

Around 11PM.

How long were you two together?

Mmm. All night.

Until morning.

You didn't part ways since 11PM?

We did.

To go to the bathroom.

Bathroom break was our only break.

Why?

Should I go into the bathroom with Vincent whenever he pees?

I could.

Here's the blood test result, sir.

Thank you.

We'll find out here who's telling the truth.

Your wife said you hid this.

The night the victim died.

Tell me.

Is this your shirt, Mr. Cabrera?

And according to the results of the blood test,

the blood came from you.

I had an accident.

I was drunk then.

Accident? Where?

In a fight?

From a bite.

A bite?

Vincent and I were fooling around,

and I accidentally bit him on the lip.

- A bite? - Kind of his fault.

I think we're done here.

We've answered all your questions.

For now.

We'll call you if we have more questions.

This is not over yet.

We will find out who killed Walter Cunanan.

Did you tell them everything?

Of course.

The details are very important.

Thank you.

Alegria.

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

I'm just thinking...

...if it's true you didn't kill him,

why do I still have to come here?

Why do you still need me?

I'm strengthening my testimony so my case will be stronger.

Your statement is my protection.

The one who died, who was he to you?

He's not my relative.

He was our company's CFO.

An employee of my father.

He had no family?

No wife?

No children?

None.

Why?

Nothing.

I was just asking.

Alegria.

Wait here. I'll talk to the attorney.

Don't leave.

Isn't that the woman who was with Mr. Cabrera?

- Look! - Come on, hurry!

Excuse me, were you with Mr. Cabrera

when Mr. Cunanan died?

I'm busy.

- I won't do interviews. - Miss, just a second!

What proof do you have that Mr. Cabrera is innocent?

How are you related to him?

Yes, who are you in his life and what's your connection?

Do you know Walter Cunanan?

- Miss, speak up! - Are you hiding something?

Girlfriend! I'm his girlfriend!

- How did you meet? - Excuse me!

Excuse me, stop harassing her.

Sir Vincent, wait!

- Let's go, let's go, let's go. - Wait!

- Just a moment, please. - Get inside.

Excuse me!

- Wait a minute! - Sir!

Why did you say that?

What do you want me to say?

Tell the press you were with a prostitute all night?

- I have a wife and child! - How should I know?

That's not part of what you made me memorize.

Do you think they would believe me?

Then maybe you shouldn't have answered!

They were already ganging up on me.

They were practically pulling my tongue out to make me talk.

But not for you to say you're my girlfriend!

Who would believe a woman like me, huh?

Sorry, Vincent.

I'm just thinking of the tiny bit of dignity I still have.

I don't want to tell everyone that I'm a prostitute!

You should be thankful I even covered for you.

My life is complicated.

Hey, even if your life is complicated

the world does not revolve around you.

I have a family who will be affected

by what you're making me do.

Just because you pay me does not mean you own my life.

I already did the job, didn't I?

So where's my money?

I'm still working on it.

Hey, it's only one in the afternoon,

you can still withdraw.

You're rich, right?

Everything is easy for you.

Give me the money at the bar later

if you don't want trouble.

What's your relationship with Mr. Cabrera?

Girlfriend.

I'm his girlfriend.

When did you become a couple?

Are you okay?

You already know?

It's all over the news.

Vincent does not deserve all this.

You have to pull yourself together, Jacqueline.

We do not need weakness right now.

You better control your emotions.

That won't help,

especially in finding a solution.

You know that I've mastered the art

of hiding my true emotions.

You know that.

But I am different when it comes to my children.

That's why we need to talk.

We need to solve this before it gets worse.

What the heck?!

Really, Vincent?!

A prostitute?!

You disgust me.

Do you know everyone is talking about us now?

You humiliated me.

How dare you drag me and our family into this filth!

You're the one who dragged me into the mud.

What did you give the police?

Why?

Can you blame me?

You hid that!

You could not even explain to me

where you were when Walter died.

And now you know my reason.

I only did what I had to do

to prove to everyone that I am innocent.

How dare you do this to me.

- How dare you-- - Don't act clean!

We both know you have a big sin too.

I know you had a relationship with Walter.

How dare you make up stories about me.

How could I be with Walter if I was putting Bea to sleep?

You want to know why I didn't burst into that room?

Because Bea arrived.

And be thankful that my love for our child prevailed.

That's why I don't tell everyone what you're doing,

because I don't want our child to know your filth.

You're using Bea now.

What is this?

Is this a product of your insecurity about Walter?

Seeing things?

You're delusional.

You're paranoid.

Fine.

I'll tell the police everything I know.

Let them investigate

and let everyone know about your relationship.

What now? You cannot answer?

Because what matters more to you is your image.

Your reputation is more important

than our family and our child.

That's why you don't want your relationship exposed.

Go ahead, do it.

Humiliate yourself even more.

Our daughter loves you so much.

Bea looks up to you.

You know...

I almost wish I had been the one to kill Walter.

Hey, Mom.

Are you ready for our date? What do you want to do?

I'm sorry, Matthew. Can we just do this tomorrow?

Ma, this is Friday night. This is our thing.

We barely get to be together, and you're being like this?

- Come on! - I know, but--

Okay, let me guess...

It's Vincent.

Yeah.

I've been calling him for a while now.

Well, there's a reason he doesn't want to answer.

So maybe don't force him to talk.

You can't stop me from worrying.

What if Vincent does something,

especially with that woman?

Did he ever tell you anything about that woman?

Ma, you know what our relationship is like.

When will the day come that you two

will finally get along?

You see? That's the problem.

We're not siblings.

You adopted him.

Actually, you adopted someone

who doesn't even care about you.

But you always worry about him.

You know what?

He can take care of himself. Did you know that?

- Matthew-- - Mom...

sometimes it feels like...

you worry about him more

than you do about me and Eddie Boy.

You're all my children.

I love you all equally.

I don't want any of you to get hurt.

You know that.

I guess, from now on...

I'll just do our Friday nights on my own.

- Matthew-- - Mom!

I'm a big boy.

Don't worry about me.

Nothing happened between us.

He's not my boyfriend either.

I just gave a statement to the police

so he wouldn't get jailed.

In exchange, he'll pay me.

That's just it.

But people see you as a mistress!

What matters is I have money.

Especially for Joseph's operation.

What else can I do?

Of course, I'll hold on to whatever I can.

If I have to embrace that blade, I will.

But are you ready for what you've gotten yourself into?

Are you ready to get cut by that blade?

Well! That's even messier.

And dangerous.

Stella, you have a customer.

Sorry, I took a while.

Are you my customer?

Um...

- It's my first time-- - I'm Vincent's mom.

We have a lot to talk about.

I want to know the truth.

Sir Cardo.

I'll just roam around here for a bit.

Alright, I'll head over to Walter's villa later.

Uh, sir.

Uh, good evening.

Do you work here?

Yes, sir. I work in housekeeping.

Were you here the night Walter Cunanan died?

The guest in Villa 4?

Do you know anything?

I saw something that night when he died.

I was on my way home

when I saw a man knocking on his door

and then entering his villa.

Are you really my son's girlfriend?

I mean...

his mistress?

I'd rather just dance.

I'm talking to you, dear.

Yes, madam.

Mistress,

side chick, lover, fling--

All of the above.

Mister Ronald, what are you doing here?

You seem proud.

I'm just being real.

So...

How did you and my son meet?

Naturally...

He came into this bar and became my customer.

Vincent doesn't go to places like this.

You're not sure about that.

Maybe you don't really know your son that well.

You don't know us.

And you don't know me either.

We're all, in some way...

selling ourselves in this world.

We just differ in what we're selling.

Mom!

Vincent?!

Is there really something going on between you two?!

Oh my god!

All this time,

I've been trying to defend you to your dad,

but how could you do this?

Didn't you even think about Claudia and Bea?

Mom, she's doing me a favor.

Please don't bother her.

It's my obligation to protect our family.

And I know even better how to protect myself.

What are you trying to accomplish, Mom?

Did Dad send you here?

He doesn't even know I'm here.

Then why? Why are you even here?

Because I want to know the truth.

What do you think I'm feeling right now

that my son has this whole other life

I know nothing about?

I want to understand who that woman is,

the one you chose over your wife and daughter!

She's not the kind of woman you think she is.

Vincent, I'm worried about you.

Is that all, Mom?

Or are you just here so you can intimidate her?

Vincent, believe it or not, I'm on your side.

But how can I defend you

when I'm blind to what's happening?

I want to protect you, but I don't know how.

You couldn't even do that with Dad,

how will you with other people?

I can protect myself.

And you don't need to pretend anymore.

I know you just don't want to tarnish

the name you gave me.

It's more than that, Vincent.

Think about your family!

You're hurting Claudia.

And do you really think Claudia's innocent in all this?

Believe it or not,

I'm doing everything to clear our family's name.

You said you believe me, right?

But through all this...

you never even asked me what the truth really is.

- Good evening, ma'am. - Good evening.

Didn't I tell you

to always call and let me know where you're going?

I did something crazy.

I went to see Vincent's girl at the bar.

What happened?

Vincent arrived

and defended her.

Here's the full amount we agreed on.

It's all there.

Thanks.

You have no idea how much this helps us.

I hope you can use that to start a new life.

I already have plans for this.

So, are we good?

We can stop seeing each other now, right?

I hope so.

It wouldn't make sense if they'll keep on suspecting me

when we've been together all night.

I hope they find whoever really killed Walter.

I thought those days were over...

his rebellious behavior, getting into trouble.

You even sent him to America back then.

I thought once he had a family,

things would settle down.

But...

he still sees us as enemies.

I told you.

Your son is hopeless.

It's our obligation to help Vincent.

We can't give up on him.

We should be the first ones to protect him!

Why don't you just tell your family the truth?

Then your mom won't bother me here at work.

They can't know about our arrangement.

Why not?

Because they'll be the first ones to throw me to the wolves.

They're just waiting for a chance to get rid of me.

Why would they do that? You're their own family.

It's hard to help someone who refuses to listen.

In the end, we're the bad guys.

So what?

If he screws up,

does that mean he stops being our son?

Or we stop being his parents?

Vincent is a grown man.

He makes his own decisions.

Is this the opportunity you've been waiting for?

To finally get rid of him.

If I wanted to get rid of him, I would've done it long ago.

Maybe this is what he needs.

A wake-up call.

No one should ever know the truth.

What, even if your reputation's getting destroyed?

That's the easiest to fix.

People forget easily.

Isn't that the problem?

People forget so easily.

That's why it's also so easy to cover up all the lies.

Where did you get the money?

From him?

Who?

Stop acting like you don't know.

Katherine, enough with the questions, okay?

I don't know how to feel.

Joseph's life may have been saved,

but at the cost of ruining a family.

The important thing is,

Joseph had his operation.

So Katherine, listen to me, okay?

Put your life together.

Study hard.

You should graduate and earn your degree,

so that no one can ever look down on you.

Doc.

Ms. Morales, the operation is complete.

I'm happy to inform you that it was successful.

We've closed the hole in your brother's heart,

and there were no complications during the procedure.

T-Thank you.

Thank you.

Next time, I'll come with you once school's over.

Is that alright?

Of course, dear.

Mr. Cabrera.

I'll call you again later, dear, okay?

Bye! I love you!

Caught a lot today?

Just enough.

I'm guessing you didn't come here to fish.

What do you need?

I just have a question.

We spoke to a witness.

They said they saw you rushing into Walter Cunanan's villa,

angry.

That contradicts your story of being with Stella Morales.

How far was the witness from the villa?

- Any video footage? - There's none.

Some CCTVs malfunctioned due to the storm.

Then I hope you're not implying things you can't prove.

I already told you where I was that night,

so why won't you present me solid evidence?

Or better yet, find Walter's real killer.

Because while you're accusing me,

the real killer's getting away.

What? Did it get away?

Too bad.

You really can't always catch a fish by its own mouth.

Hurry up and take those out.

What's going on?

Ma'am, I'll deal with sir.

Go upstairs.

You're leaving?

Where's Bea?

She's in her room.

We're not leaving,

you are.

What?

Are you kicking me out?

I agreed to Dad's wish to keep up appearances,

but I won't stay with you under one roof

because I don't feel safe.

Then I'm taking Bea.

Are you insane?

Do you want your daughter to be caught up in your case?

Do you really want to pull her out of a home

where she's safe and looked after?

Until your case is over,

I will protect my child.

Nothing's been proven yet.

Why are you so eager to let go?

After everything we've been through,

I did everything to save our marriage.

I didn't pursue the annulment before, did I?

Because I tried too, Vincent,

but I just can't put up with you anymore.

What?

I was the one putting up with you.

I even saved you from yourself!

Have you forgotten?

You can't save everyone.

Not even yourself.

Come with me already, Alegria.

I'll give you everything you want.

Oh.

You really turn me on!

Ah...

We're done here.

Hey, hold on.

Hey! Hey!

That's not part of the deal! Stop it!

Hold on! Stop!

I said stop!

You pervert! That's not part of our deal!

- You like that, huh? - Hey!

Hey!

What's wrong with you?!

Hey! Hey, stop it!

- What's happening?! - Stop it!

- Charlie, help me! - Hey, stop it!

Hey, that's enough!

I said enough!

Vincent, come with me.

I might lose my job because of you.

There.

Calm down.

I was trying to help you!

Why did you have to do that?!

I can take care of myself!

He shouldn't have done that to you!

I was only trying to help!

Is that how you are when you're angry?

You just beat people up?

My customer almost died!

What did you say?

Now you think I'm capable of killing?

How should I know?

We're not close.

We aren't even friends.

I wouldn't throw my life away for some low-life like him.

Hold on. Why did you even come back to this place?

Wasn't the money I gave you enough?

That money you gave me,

I used it to pay for my brother's operation.

I also used it to pay for their tuition, some debts,

our electricity and water bill, rent, and other things.

Okay?

What about you?

They come first.

I can still work.

What about you?

What are you doing here?

I just wanted to get away from my cursed life.

But this isn't the best place to do that.

The only difference is, all of us here are cursed.

No one here acts like they're perfect or innocent.

Did you get into trouble with your mom because of me?

That's how they've seen me ever since.

Trouble.

I just want to clear my name, Alegria.

Stella.

You can call me Stella.

She's an ex-convict.

She was arrested for illegal drugs.

There's also information on her family there.

Arthur, are you okay?

That Stella Morales...

...she can't be part of Vincent's life.

We need to get rid of her.

Hey!

- You! Come with me! - Hey!

What's going on?!

Let go of me!

I said let go of me!

What do you want from me?!

- Shut up! - What's happening?!

Let me go right now!

How dare you! You monsters!

Let me go!

You've got some explaining to do.

You bastard!

I treated you as a friend!

A brother!

Are you still fuming because I'm the new CEO?

Vincent, move on!

Does that mean you can take Claudia from me too?!

I know something's going on between you two.

How does it feel, huh?

You've lost everything.

You lost your career...

you being a Cabrera...

...and even your wife.

Hmm.

I can still smell your wife.

She smells so good.

Uh, we're friends, right?

I mean, if you don't mind sharing...

Come on, Vincent.

You can't shoot me.

You're too much of a coward to shoot me.

Shoot me.

Do it.

Come on.

Can't do it, huh?

No matter what you do...

...I'll always be better than you.

And your family will always be on my side.

You paid her to be your alibi?

How sure are you that you can trust Stella?

You put me in a situation I didn't want to be in!

We've received some information.

Someone saw Mr. Vincent Cabrera in Cunanan's villa.

Who's telling the truth?

You're stupid enough to let her use you for your money.

I love Stella!

So many things don't add up in this case.

Tell me what really happened that night!

- Mr. Cabrera! - I killed him!
