Original subtitles

It's been sent to the police.

The CCTV footage of Stella at the resort?

Vincent can't go to jail.

Stella should go down for this.

And I've got something juicier to pin on her.

You had every reason to tell them everything. Why didn't you?

Because I choose to believe in you.

I'm holding on to that.

Take back those lies you said about me!

Prove that everything I said is wrong.

It's hard to prove the truth when you're being accused.

This will all end if we find out what happened to Walter.

Alright, fine. I'll tell you everything I know.

Like I already told you, I got into debt.

And that debt worsened because of Walter.

You stole from the company.

I had no choice.

My life was at stake.

But Walter? He benefited from it.

He stole so much from the company.

He did it for a long time.

He was the mastermind.

Matthew, you have a strong motive to kill Walter.

Because he could have turned on you.

Vincent, if I wanted to kill him,

I would've done it sooner.

He was blackmailing me for a long time.

But I couldn't do it.

He promised that he would help me.

You tell me.

Why would I kill the only person who could help me?

Come on, Vincent. Bro, please.

Please help me.

Despite our differences,

we're still brothers, right?

I'm sorry for being selfish.

I was just a kid.

I didn't know how to react.

There's no manual about having an adopted sibling.

But I...

I was never selfish when it came to our parents' love, right?

Honestly, they think more highly of you than me.

Bro...

I don't know what to do with myself.

I'm scared of being alone.

I don't know what I might do to myself.

You've got to help me, bro, please.

Fine.

You can stay here.

- Yeah? - You'll be safe here.

Okay.

Despite everything,

you still took me in.

Thank you.

We'll store all the evidence we've gathered in here.

We can't trust Matthew.

Huh?

If you don't trust him, why did you take him in?

You're inviting a snake into your home.

He's here because we need to keep an eye on him.

A snake is only dangerous

when you don't know when it'll strike.

We have to keep our enemies closer,

so we need to keep an eye on Matthew.

And we need to be careful.

So, you didn't believe a word he said earlier?

I've known Matthew for a long time.

A snake that sheds its skin is still a snake.

Does that mean we need to make him believe

that we trust him?

And I know exactly how to do it.

Hey, what are you doing here?

Don't worry, I won't stay long.

You can now go back to work tomorrow.

What? How did this happen?

Hi, I'm Edward Cabrera,

the new manager of The Fides.

Congrats, Mr. Cabrera.

Let's just say that we came to a realization.

That we can't lose someone as special as you.

You're crazy!

See you tomorrow. Don't be late.

Daphne?

Edward?

Edward!

I've missed you so much!

I just graduated from London business school.

With honors!

I was hoping you'd show up at my graduation.

Sorry.

I've been busy.

Oh. Well, I got you something.

Some souvenirs.

Thanks!

How have you been? What's new with you?

I'm good. I mean, I'm the manager now.

I know. The job suits you well.

Thanks. Congrats on graduating.

- Thanks. - So, what's your plan?

What is this place?

I'm sorry, Mr. Cabrera.

Sir, can't we take a quick look?

We really need to check something.

Our files are confidential.

The law forbids us from releasing information

to unauthorized individuals who aren't related to the child.

We'll need a written request and a court order

to release those files.

Please excuse me.

How did it go? I bet they refused.

I need to get into that room, Stella.

How? They won't let you in.

Oh. Wait.

I'll create a distraction.

Sneak in while that's happening. Make it quick.

Go. Stand there.

Guard, help! Guard! We need help!

- Ma'am are you okay? - What happened?

- Help her. She fainted. - Madam?

Ma'am, are you okay?

Clean that up.

Rose, call a nurse.

Should we call an ambulance?

Madam? Madam?

Get a mop.

Clean that up.

Madam?

Hey! What are you doing?

That room is off-limits.

Sir, uh... There was a commotion outside,

so I went in to look for an application form.

I'm sorry.

They're all attending to the unconscious woman.

Madam?

- It's okay. - It looked like a bad fall.

- Sorry about that. - Is she wounded?

Madam? Madam?

Madam, are you okay?

- Are you okay? - Wait.

- Are you okay, madam? - What happened?

Are you okay?

I am. Uh... I'm sorry for the trouble.

- Are you sure, miss? - Yes.

Go see a doctor.

Take care. Can you walk?

Yes. Thank you.

We just want to know the truth about Walter's past.

The truth?

Look at me.

My current state was caused by Walter.

I nearly died because of him.

We're begging you.

Please leave. We don't want any trouble.

We just want a quiet life.

Walter left our home a long time ago.

We disowned him years ago.

We're sorry, ma'am, sir,

but we won't rest until we've found out

what really happened to Walter.

I know you.

You're Arthur Cabrera's son.

I am.

This all started with your father.

We need to find out the truth.

We'll leave you alone after this.

Please tell us the truth.

Wait.

What do you mean?

What does my father have to do with this?

We stood as Walter's parents for many years.

He seemed normal when he came into our lives.

But as time went on, he started acting strange.

Mama died because of you.

You should die!

Die! Die! Die!

Die!

Walter! Walter, son.

- Aah! - Son!

Walter...

Son...

I'm going back to bed.

I have class tomorrow.

But...

My goodness, Walter.

You were kicked out of school again?

Why are you always getting into fights, son?

They gave me a dirty look.

- What? - So, I hit them.

Before they could hurt me.

Then one day, for reasons we don't know,

he suddenly snapped.

We are always on the quest for truth.

We've never bribed a whistleblower.

And I'm so happy that legally,

we have been cleared of any wrongdoings.

We wouldn't ruin our name

for an individual's wrongdoings. We will remain...

- Walter! Walter! - ...true to our mission.

Walter! Walter! Walter!

Aah!

- Die! Die! - Walter, stop!

You ruined my life!

- Die! - Emilio!

- Die! - Walter, what are you doing?!

That's enough! Stop it!

Get away from her!

Hey! Stop it!

That's enough!

Aah! Walter. Walter...

- Argh... - Emilio?

Walter left our home after that incident.

Help!

He never once visited Emilio at the hospital.

I thought he just felt guilty, but...

I couldn't be more wrong.

Based on what you've shared,

Walter's anger and trauma seem to have rooted

from his mother.

Do you know who Walter's mom is?

The orphanage didn't give us any information.

It's part of their policy in adopting Walter.

We tried asking him but...

he didn't share stories about his mom.

Maybe it was because of all the trauma.

We always wonder...

was there something we could've done

to prevent what happened?

We could've prevented that.

That's enough, Marla.

We tried to give him the love he needed,

but Walter had long since closed off his heart...

...after all he had gone through.

Now...

I hope you understand

why we just want to forget about Walter.

So that's why.

Why what?

Why Walter turned out like that.

Don't tell me you feel bad for him

after everything he has done to you.

It just made me realize that no person is innately bad.

People like Walter...

They've gone through the worst to end up monstrous.

Walter was already broken

before he was taken in by that family...

...because of his mother's death.

Stella, the question is,

what has Dad done to make Walter that mad at him?

We learned a lot from Walter's adoptive parents,

but it's still not enough.

We don't even know

who his real parents are.

If it was Walter's plan all along to get into our lives,

that means there's one person who knew all about this.

We need to find that person.

Oh.

You're here.

Where's Vincent?

Too bad you missed Mommy.

She brought groceries.

Come with me.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa! Whoa!

Hold on. Where are you taking me?

Just come.

Sure!

Okay?

Where are you taking me? Does Vincent know about this?

Mmm.

Get in.

Wait...

You're giving me access here?

That means...

I'm part of the team!

Am I going to be part of the investigation?

Sit.

We need information from you.

Wait.

Why? What do you need this for?

Just answer the questions.

You've known Walter for the longest time.

Did you know who his real mother was?

Why are you asking me that, bro?

This won't be over unless you give me answers.

Okay. Uh...

When Walter was still alive,

we didn't talk about personal stuff like that.

Did you really think we were best friends?

Come on. He was just one of Dad's employees.

Okay.

Then let's start from the beginning.

Maybe from there, we can figure out

what his mom was like.

Wait.

What does his mom have to do with this?

How did Walter get into our family?

I'm sure you know something.

Yeah...

I-It was kind of weird, actually.

He just...

popped up out of the blue.

All of a sudden.

Hey! Thief! Hey!

Hey!

- Get him, bro! - Argh!

Scram!

Sir!

I believe this is yours.

Thank you.

What's your name?

I'm Walter.

Walter Cunanan.

Oh, you don't have to.

No. Take it.

Thank you.

You don't have to, sir.

He didn't accept the money Dad offered.

Instead, he asked for a job.

I don't know what it was with Walter but...

I mean...

It was like, everything just clicked.

Dad had an instant affinity towards him.

And then, I didn't see Walter for a while.

And out of the blue...

Walter reappeared.

Dad got him as an asset for a story he was building.

What do you need?

Boss,

I want to apply for a job.

Apply as what?

I heard from a friend...

that you need someone.

Fine.

End all my suffering.

No one will look for me anyway.

But you'd benefit from me if I'm alive.

You can count on me.

Fine. Come with me inside.

I'll introduce you to our boss.

This is our machine.

Hey! What's that?

What?

It's nothing.

Show it to me!

You bastard!

Damn you!

Aah!

Agh! Come back here!

Congrats on your latest story, Arthur!

- You've busted the syndicate. - And the minors were saved.

Your coverage was very in-depth.

Especially those hidden camera shots.

That was very suspenseful.

Well...

thank you for appreciating it.

I put my life on the line to expose the truth

that needed to be told.

Walter passed Dad's tests.

And ever since then,

Walter became Dad's best soldier.

For him, Walter was indispensable.

Since then,

Dad took care of him.

Dad treated him like family.

He bought him a house to live in.

He gave him a scholarship.

Et cetera, et cetera.

What do you think Walter did to gain your dad's trust?

I don't know.

We'll never know what happened between them.

But knowing Dad,

and based on Matthew's stories,

he probably saw desperation in Walter.

And that was something he could use.

Hold on, bro.

Your theory seems to have holes.

If Walter was angry at Dad...

why was he so loyal to him the whole time?

He stayed in the company for so long.

He worked like a slave.

Maybe his childhood became so traumatic because of Dad.

He blamed him.

That's why he had deep-seated hatred for Dad.

And that anger could be enough

to endure all of that.

To play the long game.

For him to pester all our lives.

He was plotting something bigger.

And possibly...

something that could get him killed.

You know what's infuriating, Andres?

From a witness, a key witness at that,

the security guard of the resort was relegated to a complainant

because you kept harassing him!

Sir, I didn't harass him.

What then?

First of all, we have no use for his testimony.

We found holes in it. We acquired CCTV footage.

And secondly, I saw fear in his eyes.

That means if he's hiding evidence and is lying to us,

a powerful person's behind this.

- I want to focus on that. - Well, I don't care.

I'll assign you to a different case,

effective immediately.

- But sir-- - And please!

Enough of your conspiracy theories!

Sir, the case is still ongoing!

I don't give a damn!

Pick your poison.

Follow my orders

or get a disciplinary sanction?

That's my prerogative, Andres!

I am the head of this office!

That's their first picture together.

From the same date as Walter's death.

If they've been in a relationship all this time,

why don't they have more pictures?

It means...

it's all a lie.

Hello, Dad?

Is it okay to talk?

Yeah, yeah. It's okay.

Have you done what I asked you to do?

I would like to remind you, Matthew...

that I'm just giving you a second chance.

I'll do anything, Dad!

Please! Let me make it up to you!

I will do anything! Please!

Anything?

Anything.

Yeah... Yeah, I think...

I think our plan is really working, Dad.

Vincent and the others have no idea.

But I think it's better if we talk in person.

Are you free to meet up?

Is Mom around?

No, she's not.

She's busy with the hotel.

Right, yeah.

If Mommy finds out that we're ganging up on her favorite son,

it'll get messy.

I know.

See you in an hour.

Alright.

They are starting to look into Walter's past.

But I suppose you used your brain.

Dad, I didn't say much,

but Vincent is smart.

He won't believe I know nothing.

So at the very least,

I need to give him something to chew on.

It's just a hassle that he's behaving

like such an arrogant scumbag.

Where are they? What are they doing?

Uh...

I don't know where they went, but...

I'm sure they'll dig into every part of Walter's life.

They're definitely seeking answers.

But they won't find anything.

Right?

Sir?

Vincent is looking into Walter's past.

They cannot find anything about Walter's life.

Not a single thing.

Yes, sir.

This is it.

This is where Walter was brought when his mom died,

before he was taken to the orphanage

where his adoptive mother Marla took him in.

Based on the time frame,

this is the only NGO that could've taken him in that time.

This is the only one that catered to abandoned children

before they're transferred to long-term shelters

or orphanages.

So I'm sure they have a record of Walter's history,

including his mother's identity.

- Surprise! - Aah!

Oh my goodness.

What?

Is everything set?

Don't worry, Sir Vincent.

Everything is set.

We're ready to go.

Okay. Go ahead inside. I'll be right there.

Thank you, sir. Let's go.

What was that?

What's with the clown?

What are you planning?

Okay, you want more?!

- Yes! - You want more?!

- Yes! - Okay.

Ma'am, before I forget... A small donation for the kids.

I see what you do here.

These kids are lucky to be under your care.

We try our best, Vincent.

We're lucky to have people like you.

You understand what these kids are going through.

Thank you.

That's why I'm hopeful that...

...there will be people who will accept them

and ease their sadness.

I hope we can see them like this every day.

Happy.

Okay, kids! Who wants their makeup done?

- Me! - Alright! Come here!

- Hello. - Can you do my makeup?

Of course!

- What do you want to be? - A princess.

A princess? I'll turn you into a princess.

- What's your name? - Monica.

Monica.

Alright, Princess Monica.

Come here. Look up.

I'll draw a star right here.

There you go! The other side.

Let me see. Wow!

Wow!

Thank you, miss!

Stand up, sweetie.

How old are you?

I'm eight years old.

You're about the same age as my sister.

She's missing, you see.

I haven't found her.

Are you okay?

What... What was that for?

It looks like you really miss your sister.

I'll hug you for her

while she hasn't come back.

Thank you.

Thank you, sweetie.

Ma'am, excuse me.

Where do I put these files?

Bring them over to the other building.

- To the records room. - Okay.

Go on.

Thank you.

- Captain? - Leon.

You left the precinct already?

I don't like wasting time.

Good.

That's what I like about you, Detective.

You act fast.

Now...

I presume you already know who our main suspect is.

Stella Morales.

Exactly.

I'll turn you into a princess.

- Stella. - Hold on, sweetie.

Go choose what color you want.

The records room is in the other building.

I need to move while everyone's occupied.

But I need time.

Alright, I got it here.

Be careful.

Vincent Cabrera!

What do you need, sir?

We're here to investigate Walter Cunanan.

I thought Andres was handling Walter's case.

You haven't heard?

He's been removed from the case.

Detective Leon Mercado has taken over the investigation.

He ordered us to come here.

Vincent?

Ms. Morales!

Good afternoon, sir. You're here too.

What are you both doing here?

What's the occasion?

Or does this have anything to do with Walter Cunanan?

Sir, we don't need a special occasion to help kids.

Vincent was also adopted,

so he often does charity work for institutions like this.

Why are you assuming it's about Walter Cunanan?

It looks like you know a lot about Walter Cunanan.

I'm sure the information we have is just the same

as what the police have gathered.

While you're here,

why don't you talk to the kids to inspire them?

Maybe one of them wants to become a cop like you.

They could follow in your footsteps.

- Come, sir. - I'll be downstairs, sir.

Alright. Keep an eye downstairs.

Yes, sir.

Alright. This way, sir.

They'll love you.

- Kids, we have a visitor! - Wow! Give him a hand!

Alright!

Who wants to be a cop when they grow up?

- Raise your hand! - Me!

Okay. Say "police!"

- Police! - Police!

- Hello! - Enough

Kids, go back to your seats.

- Where's Cabrera? - I think he's in the restroom.

But I'm sure he's on his way back now.

Sir!

Stay seated.

Do you want to see more magic tricks?

Alba!

Sir.

I think Vincent Cabrera has already left.

Sir, I saw him go to that building.

- Guard. - Yes, sir?

What's in that building?

The records room, sir.

It has the records of the children

who got adopted from this foster home.

- Come with us. - Okay, sir.

It's over here.

The door.

It's locked. Do you have the keys?

Yes, sir.

Go, open it.

Sir.

Let's go.

Oh, sir.

Uh, you should eat.

Please give him some food.

Where's Cabrera?

Sir.

- Hand it here. - It's fine. I'll put them here.

Where have you been?

He said he saw you go to the other building.

I just got some deliveries

of stuff we're going to give the kids.

Looks like it's true

that you're investigating about Walter.

That's the job of the police!

But...

maybe you can tell me what you've found out.

Sir, you couldn't wait to leave earlier,

and now, you're back here again.

Stella.

First of all,

it's our right to know the truth.

Second,

we already gave our statements when we were in the station,

and they don't have enough evidence to implicate us.

And third,

we know the law and we know our rights.

If you have more questions,

talk to my lawyer.

That scared me.

- I haven't finished this. - It's from him.

They removed you from Walter's case.

News really travels fast, huh?

You guys must be happy because you got me out of your hair now.

You guys win.

No one's a winner yet, Andres.

Walter's murderer is still out on the loose.

I need your help.

What made you think that I'm going to help you?

Because you never stop until you know the truth.

Based on what I know about you,

I know that you're an honest policeman.

I think your suspicion is right.

Someone is manipulating all of this.

And I think they took you off the case

because you're close to uncovering their secrets.

"Their secrets"?

Why? Were you able to find new information?

I don't think Walter approaching my family

and getting close to my father

was a coincidence.

Walter deliberately targeted us because he's mad at my father.

You know, if Walter's motive is to get revenge,

he wouldn't wait that long before exacting it.

He was always with your father.

He could shoot him and be done with it.

That's why I need your help, Andres.

If Walter waited that long,

it means he meticulously planned for it.

Do you know a Teresa Lopez?

She's Walter's mom.

Walter was 10 when his mom died.

And I think

that's the reason why he despised us Cabreras.

If we find out what really happened to her,

we will be able to know Walter's plans and motives.

And maybe we'll be able to discover who killed him.

"Tereza Lopez"

Walter's mom killed herself?

What does this have to do with your dad?

I don't know yet.

But I found out that she used to be Dad's employee.

She wasn't just an ordinary employee, Vincent.

Read what's written below.

She was my dad's protégé?

- Evelyn Sillano? - Yes?

You're the one I'm having a meeting with?

Yes.

And I'll get straight to the point.

Oh. Uh, I'm sorry.

- I'm busy. I have to go. - Uh, ma'am. Wait.

There's something we want to ask you

about Teresa Lopez.

I have nothing to do with that. I know nothing.

You were the one who made her report, right?

We have the documents.

We can hand them over to the police

so they can investigate you themselves.

What exactly do you want to know?

That happened a long time ago.

I no longer work for the company.

We want to know what really happened to Teresa Lopez...

and why she died by suicide.

Teresa was among those trained by Sir Arthur.

Teresa got dragged into the case he forced her to handle.

Um...

She didn't turn on Sir Arthur despite what he made her do.

It was Sir Arthur who betrayed her.

Sir.

Have you already secured our informant's affidavit?

Um...

Not yet, sir, because...

I found inconsistencies in his statement when I reviewed it.

He might be lying to me.

For God's sake, Teresa!

You're my intern!

Follow my instructions!

You know how important his statement is for our scoop.

- Sir-- - He's our only whistleblower

to expose that judge!

But, sir, we'll be in trouble

if we publish the story based on his statement.

Once he signs the affidavit, we won't be liable.

If he lies, that's on him!

But... Sir, how?

You have confidential funds!

You know what to do!

Why? Are you scared?

The first quality of a journalist is bravery!

You should be ready to throw yourself between bullets

if you want to get that story!

What?

You'll have him sign it, or you'll lose your job?!

Here's the affidavit.

Sign it so we can publish the story against your boss.

I just got carried away with my emotions

when I told you those things.

I'm pulling out my statement.

What?!

Oh, no.

I'm begging you.

I'm begging you! Please sign it now!

My job depends on this!

Come on, take it.

Then sign the affidavit.

I'm begging you.

What's that?!

- Teresa Lopez. - Uh...

You are under arrest

for obstruction of justice!

- Come on, cuff her. - What?

You set me up.

- Let's go. - Come on.

Wait, sir!

- Just come with us. - Sir--

You set me up.

Sir.

Boss, wait!

Please.

Get in. Come on.

Boss, don't do this.

Please...

Hello, Ma?

Are you on your way home?

Son, I don't think I can come home tonight.

Sorry. Mama got into trouble.

What happened, Ma?

Sir Arthur asked me to do something.

I-I don't know.

I might go to jail, son.

Ma! What do you mean?!

But maybe he won't abandon me.

Maybe everything will be okay, son.

What are we going to do, Ma?!

I don't know.

I don't know! I don't know what to do!

Son, I'm so scared.

Ma?

I'll just borrow from the store.

Do you want anything?

Ma?

Mama!

Ma! Ma!

Ma, why?!

Mama! Mama!

I couldn't do anything.

That's why I resigned.

I could no longer take Sir Arthur's cruelty.

That explains why Walter was so furious.

He blamed your father for his mother's death.

Even if Dad didn't directly do it,

from Walter's perspective,

my father pushed his mother to do all that.

That also pushed Walter to do this.

To get into our family.

To wait that long.

To get revenge on my father.

How did your errand go?

We talked to the company's former HR officer.

Things are getting clearer about Walter's death.

We're gathering proof

about why he was killed and who might have done it.

You think it's your father?

I need to be sure, Andres.

We're talking about my family.

Let us work on it.

Us?

You'll still help us?

If they think I'll stop after removing me from the case,

they don't know me.

I won't stop until the real culprit pays for what they did.

You need an ally, right?

Mrs. Cunanan!

Oh, what are you doing here?

We've already given you all the information.

I have nothing more to tell you.

There's something else we need from you.

What is it?

We'd like to ask your permission as Walter's legal parent.

We're planning to exhume his body for autopsy.

What for?

We suspect his first autopsy was manipulated

to derail the investigation.

Who would do that?

Someone covering up what really happened.

The one who killed him.

Sir Arthur.

Part of the protocol...

The Review Board informed us

that they will perform a new autopsy on Walter Cunanan.

And unfortunately, a doctor...

named Dr. Ramona Castro has been tasked to handle it.

How did they manage to do that?

Apparently, they got permission from the legal parent.

Damn it.

What did you even do?

Why didn't you stop them?

You are the police department for God's sake!

Sir Arthur.

They are an independent body.

They are not within my jurisdiction.

I'm sorry.

Teresa Lopez.

Then Walter Cunanan.

Vincent is getting closer to the truth.

We're here.

Alright.

- Get it, come on. - You're from the morgue?

- Yes, sir. - Sir.

Can you show us the permit from the doctor?

Uh, sure. It's in the van.

Can you show it?

You know this is a high-profile case.

We're just making sure.

Okay, sir. We'll put the coffin in the van first.

It won't take long.

- Doc, excuse me. - Yes?

The morgue staff will be late.

They got a flat tire.

- Huh? A flat tire? - Yes.

- Sir, we're leaving. - Wait. Hold on.

- Doc. - Hello, Vincent.

The staff from the morgue will be late.

Stella, get the car! They tricked us!

Huh?!

Stop what you're doing!

Vincent!

Vincent!

- Vincent, behind you! - Argh!

Vincent! He has a gun!

Vincent!

Stop!

Stop! Let go of him! Get down!

Get down!

- Are you okay? - I'm okay.

Some men tried to take Walter's body.

Who would do that? You might know them.

Once it's proven

someone manipulated Walter Cunanan's autopsy,

they'll pay for it, right?

As soon as I begin my examination,

we'll find what you're looking for.

And hopefully, with the results,

- Eliminate her. - Yes, Chairman.

There's new information

pointing to you as Walter Cunanan's killer.
