00:01:14,595  -->  00:01:21,104
Years before the pandemic

3
00:01:31,065  -->  00:01:33,109
When we escaped to Baguio

4
00:01:33,134  -->  00:01:36,095
I thought it was going
to be a fresh start for him.

5
00:01:36,181  -->  00:01:39,393
But now he’s in trouble again.

6
00:01:40,892  -->  00:01:42,101
Rest.

7
00:01:42,126  -->  00:01:46,464
He can't help but protect
a friend in trouble.

8
00:01:48,172  -->  00:01:52,427
Nothing pleases him more
than planning our future together.

9
00:01:53,336  -->  00:01:55,588
I have no doubt he loves me.

10
00:01:55,613  -->  00:01:57,490
He can't lie.

11
00:02:00,168  -->  00:02:05,612
But once he witnesses any kind
of injustice, he loses it.

12
00:02:12,465  -->  00:02:13,758
It’s such a pity.

13
00:02:13,758  -->  00:02:16,553
I’ve grown fond
of thrift shopping.

14
00:02:18,131  -->  00:02:21,349
I'd gotten used to my rosy cheeks
in the cold climate.

15
00:02:21,840  -->  00:02:27,923
I'm sure he'll miss his job,
and his horse at Wright Park.

16
00:02:29,196  -->  00:02:31,031
That’s the way it goes.

17
00:02:31,414  -->  00:02:35,464
After all, I love him and choose
to be wherever he is.

18
00:02:35,941  -->  00:02:37,850
This is now our third move.

19
00:02:39,403  -->  00:02:43,663
It’s good that he agreed to stay
with his mother and his brother.

20
00:02:52,932  -->  00:02:54,709
- Hello, Ma.
- JC?

21
00:02:54,734  -->  00:02:56,032
Yes, we’re in Manila.

22
00:02:56,057  -->  00:02:57,315
Thank goodness.

23
00:02:57,359  -->  00:03:00,893
We’re fine. I just called to
let you know we’ve arrived.

24
00:03:00,918  -->  00:03:02,976
- Okay. Take care.
- Yes.

25
00:03:03,492  -->  00:03:05,586
- See you, Ma.
- Yes.

26
00:03:07,078  -->  00:03:08,580
Ma will be happy to meet you.

27
00:03:08,605  -->  00:03:10,768
She will be happy to see you.

28
00:03:14,277  -->  00:03:17,514
Let's go. One ride
and we’re home.

29
00:03:34,808  -->  00:03:38,098
You'll get to try Ma's cooking.
It's the best.

30
00:03:38,123  -->  00:03:39,123
Really?

31
00:04:07,747  -->  00:04:11,268
The family reunites

32
00:04:11,346  -->  00:04:12,890
JC!

33
00:04:13,023  -->  00:04:15,198
- JC, my child.
- Ma.

34
00:04:16,393  -->  00:04:21,231
- I missed my youngest.
- I miss you too Ma.

35
00:04:23,015  -->  00:04:25,845
You look like a cowboy
with this hat.

36
00:04:26,210  -->  00:04:29,923
- I missed my youngest.
- Ma, is breakfast available?

37
00:04:29,953  -->  00:04:34,374
Of course. And it’s not
leftovers from what I sell.

38
00:04:34,399  -->  00:04:38,589
I cooked your favorites, smoked fish,
and fried eggs.

39
00:04:39,221  -->  00:04:42,839
- This is Maritess.
- Hello.

40
00:04:43,222  -->  00:04:44,222
Your wife?

41
00:04:44,322  -->  00:04:45,740
We’re not married yet.

42
00:04:45,765  -->  00:04:53,439
If you love each other and live together,
you’re husband and wife.

43
00:04:53,464  -->  00:04:55,995
- Blessings, Ma.
- Bless you.

44
00:04:56,212  -->  00:05:00,972
You’re so pretty.

45
00:05:00,997  -->  00:05:03,011
You and my son make a beautiful couple.

46
00:05:03,036  -->  00:05:07,042
Come, I’m sure you’re hungry.

47
00:05:07,323  -->  00:05:09,200
How long have you been together?

48
00:05:09,225  -->  00:05:11,103
Almost three years.

49
00:05:11,128  -->  00:05:15,329
I like that. It means you know
and truly love my son

50
00:05:15,354  -->  00:05:17,720
because I know how difficult it is
to live with him.

51
00:05:17,745  -->  00:05:20,923
Ma, I thought we were a team.

52
00:05:20,948  -->  00:05:23,831
- He’s not hard to live with.
- I really like you.

53
00:05:27,260  -->  00:05:30,972
Come, Maritess. Josie!
My son JC is home!

54
00:05:30,997  -->  00:05:34,954
How are you, Josie?
Does my big brother have a Junior now?

55
00:05:34,979  -->  00:05:40,104
We’re all process
and no fruit.

56
00:05:40,337  -->  00:05:43,109
It’s not time yet,
as your brother would say.

57
00:05:43,134  -->  00:05:45,744
I admire his discipline.

58
00:05:46,546  -->  00:05:49,424
Maritess, meet Josie,
my brother Pau’s wife.

59
00:05:49,650  -->  00:05:53,041
Josie, Maritess.
My girlfr… wife.

60
00:05:53,202  -->  00:05:54,328
We’re also not married.

61
00:05:54,353  -->  00:05:55,971
It’s not so popular these days.

62
00:05:55,996  -->  00:05:59,417
Josie, text Pau that
his brother is home.

63
00:05:59,442  -->  00:06:01,569
So we can all eat together.

64
00:06:01,569  -->  00:06:02,445
- Yes, Ma.
- Sweetie…

65
00:06:02,445  -->  00:06:03,863
- Are you okay?
- Yes, ma’am.

66
00:06:03,863  -->  00:06:05,221
Feel at home.

67
00:06:05,631  -->  00:06:09,761
Come here, Queenie.
JC, there’s someone I want you to meet.

68
00:06:09,786  -->  00:06:11,643
Queenie, he’s the one
I keep telling you about.

69
00:06:11,908  -->  00:06:16,100
My youngest, your Big Brother JC.

70
00:06:16,125  -->  00:06:19,103
Handsome, isn’t he?
He looks just like his father.

71
00:06:19,128  -->  00:06:21,377
- And she is Maritess.
- Hello.

72
00:06:22,148  -->  00:06:24,524
This is Queenie, my ward.

73
00:06:24,549  -->  00:06:27,779
Go set the table.

74
00:06:27,804  -->  00:06:34,563
You and Maritess
will stay in my bed.

75
00:06:34,588  -->  00:06:36,729
Queenie and I will sleep on the floor.

76
00:06:36,788  -->  00:06:40,833
Let’s put up a curtain,
so you have privacy.

77
00:06:40,887  -->  00:06:43,640
We’ll take the floor.

78
00:06:43,665  -->  00:06:47,752
No way! You’re our guests.
Come, let’s eat.

79
00:07:01,463  -->  00:07:03,829
- Excuse me!
- Yes?

80
00:07:03,854  -->  00:07:07,143
Gin and ten pesos
worth of ice.

81
00:07:07,284  -->  00:07:08,284
Here.

82
00:07:08,330  -->  00:07:09,400
Get the last piece.

83
00:07:09,425  -->  00:07:11,291
- Go for it!
- I’m full.

84
00:07:11,685  -->  00:07:16,356
- You sure you’re done, Josie?
- Yes, Ma.

85
00:07:16,492  -->  00:07:18,369
Queenie, help Josie clean up.

86
00:07:19,029  -->  00:07:21,346
How do you make
smoked fish taste so good?

87
00:07:21,371  -->  00:07:24,182
I buy only the freshest ones.

88
00:07:26,502  -->  00:07:32,679
- Bro!
- Bro, I missed you. How are you?

89
00:07:32,704  -->  00:07:33,747
I’m good. You?

90
00:07:33,772  -->  00:07:35,357
I’m bigger than you now.

91
00:07:35,471  -->  00:07:38,808
I bought us a drink.
Shots after we eat.

92
00:07:38,833  -->  00:07:40,369
As always.

93
00:07:40,517  -->  00:07:44,271
Bro, this is my wife Maritess,
though we’re not married yet.

94
00:07:44,296  -->  00:07:47,049
Maritess, meet my favorite brother.

95
00:07:47,901  -->  00:07:50,112
I’m your only brother, stupid.

96
00:07:50,137  -->  00:07:51,744
That’s why I don’t have a choice.

97
00:07:53,103  -->  00:07:54,346
Pau, eat.

98
00:07:56,762  -->  00:08:00,041
Drinking comes first
with these two.

99
00:08:00,066  -->  00:08:01,125
Better booze than babes.

100
00:08:01,150  -->  00:08:02,818
One, two.

101
00:08:03,040  -->  00:08:04,458
- This is for you.
- Thank you.

102
00:08:04,483  -->  00:08:05,985
Eat up.

103
00:08:06,655  -->  00:08:09,533
Queenie, I have something for you.

104
00:08:09,929  -->  00:08:12,019
Your favorite chocolate.

105
00:08:16,287  -->  00:08:20,854
Son, take my place.

106
00:08:22,112  -->  00:08:24,823
- What’s that?
- I have something to give you.

107
00:08:24,979  -->  00:08:27,690
Why don’t you add this
to your savings instead?

108
00:08:27,715  -->  00:08:30,092
Stop it, Ma. That’s yours.

109
00:08:30,187  -->  00:08:31,939
Thank you, son.

110
00:08:32,148  -->  00:08:34,750
What’s the last piece
still doing there?

111
00:08:34,775  -->  00:08:36,850
That is so Filipino.

112
00:08:36,903  -->  00:08:39,327
Josie, take care of Maritess, okay?

113
00:08:39,352  -->  00:08:40,838
The devil’s shot.

114
00:08:40,961  -->  00:08:47,384
Queenie and I are going to the market.
Get some sleep after those shots, okay?

115
00:08:48,002  -->  00:08:49,070
Yes, Ma. Take care.

116
00:08:49,070  -->  00:08:50,190
Take care, Ma.

117
00:08:51,088  -->  00:08:54,700
Being together like this
makes me happy.

118
00:08:54,725  -->  00:08:56,770
I missed you, my youngest.

119
00:08:58,931  -->  00:09:02,943
Ma, no drama allowed
in our family, remember?

120
00:09:03,799  -->  00:09:06,209
Hey, Ma can control
her tears now.

121
00:09:06,524  -->  00:09:09,023
Except on Christmas
and her birthday.

122
00:09:09,132  -->  00:09:11,843
She misses you too much.

123
00:09:11,868  -->  00:09:17,158
She hides it, though, because she knows
I won’t give her gifts if there’s crying.

124
00:09:17,207  -->  00:09:21,010
Enough drinking, go to sleep.

125
00:09:21,035  -->  00:09:22,049
Let's go.

126
00:09:22,097  -->  00:09:25,229
- Ma, bring me back some cassava cake.
- Okay.

127
00:09:28,776  -->  00:09:30,569
- Your turn.
- There's still some left!

128
00:09:30,885  -->  00:09:36,075
Ma found Queenie on the pavement
around four years ago.

129
00:09:37,484  -->  00:09:40,970
She was on her way home
when she heard someone groaning.

130
00:09:41,203  -->  00:09:44,237
She saw Queenie bleeding.

131
00:09:45,246  -->  00:09:46,861
I’m not sure
but I think her stepfather raped her.

132
00:09:48,332  -->  00:09:50,699
She fought back, got beaten up.

133
00:09:52,883  -->  00:09:55,761
She ran away
and ended up here.

134
00:09:55,795  -->  00:09:58,381
You’re not sure
if she was raped?

135
00:09:58,787  -->  00:10:02,179
She’s mute, but she can hear.

136
00:10:02,931  -->  00:10:05,567
Maybe she stopped talking
due to the trauma.

137
00:10:07,157  -->  00:10:10,510
Her mind… it’s not all there.

138
00:10:10,881  -->  00:10:13,384
Sometimes she acts like a child.

139
00:10:13,578  -->  00:10:15,668
We couldn’t get the full story out of her.

140
00:10:17,658  -->  00:10:20,687
We reported it to the police.
Nothing came of it.

141
00:10:21,575  -->  00:10:25,858
Social Welfare took her
but she escaped to come back here.

142
00:10:26,513  -->  00:10:28,556
So, Ma took her in.

143
00:10:29,010  -->  00:10:31,518
She’s a good girl.
Helps Ma.

144
00:10:31,543  -->  00:10:34,244
I’m a has-been at the bar.

145
00:10:34,829  -->  00:10:40,213
The customers like them young.

146
00:10:41,354  -->  00:10:46,408
I’d be left with the older gays and aunties
who prefer veterans like me

147
00:10:46,896  -->  00:10:52,093
who do everything in bed
while their lazy asses do nothing.

148
00:10:54,909  -->  00:10:59,539
Why not find another job?

149
00:11:00,320  -->  00:11:04,619
I still make good money.
Especially when I dance.

150
00:11:04,873  -->  00:11:07,750
And even if I’m a lot less popular now,
I still get customers.

151
00:11:07,775  -->  00:11:09,557
There’s too much horniness out there.

152
00:11:09,842  -->  00:11:15,867
Once in a while I hit the jackpot
and get someone with lots to spend.

153
00:11:16,868  -->  00:11:22,582
I never doubted you.
You always have a plan.

154
00:11:24,517  -->  00:11:29,839
I’ve saved almost enough
to redeem the land that Ma pawned.

155
00:11:30,666  -->  00:11:33,590
Josie and I plan to go back
to the province and live there.

156
00:11:34,554  -->  00:11:38,848
I hope Ma comes with us.

157
00:11:41,373  -->  00:11:42,811
Shot!

158
00:11:44,414  -->  00:11:47,608
Pau asked me to quit my job at the bar
when we moved in together.

159
00:11:48,877  -->  00:11:51,671
I was fine with it.
I never really liked it there.

160
00:11:52,044  -->  00:11:55,657
But here I’m happy.
I grew up not knowing my family.

161
00:11:56,494  -->  00:11:59,455
And with Pau, I feel safe.

162
00:12:00,067  -->  00:12:02,695
He knows how to keep his word.

163
00:12:03,420  -->  00:12:05,917
You’re okay with
his job as a stripper?

164
00:12:07,330  -->  00:12:09,796
Why not?
I used to be a go-go dancer myself.

165
00:12:10,023  -->  00:12:11,339
I choose not to be choosy.

166
00:12:12,123  -->  00:12:14,427
When are you settling down?

167
00:12:15,927  -->  00:12:18,580
Maybe it’s time to get serious
about your life.

168
00:12:20,974  -->  00:12:22,934
I am serious.

169
00:12:23,826  -->  00:12:26,980
In fact, I was already focused on the life
Maritess and I were building in Baguio.

170
00:12:28,829  -->  00:12:32,842
I thought we'd stay there for good.
We're fine having a simple life.

171
00:12:33,048  -->  00:12:35,363
Even if I smelled like a horse
because of my job.

172
00:12:36,890  -->  00:12:40,311
That job suits you,
you’re hung like a horse!

173
00:12:42,761  -->  00:12:43,791
But then…

174
00:12:43,816  -->  00:12:45,515
You got into trouble again.

175
00:12:48,648  -->  00:12:49,836
I can’t help it.

176
00:12:51,674  -->  00:12:54,132
When someone takes advantage
of someone, I see red

177
00:12:54,517  -->  00:12:56,227
and I can’t think clearly.

178
00:12:56,252  -->  00:13:00,972
You have a knack for making
other people’s problems your own.

179
00:13:03,912  -->  00:13:08,830
I helped a friend who got beaten up
and was unable to defend himself.

180
00:13:08,952  -->  00:13:11,079
You could’ve just brought him
to the hospital.

181
00:13:12,096  -->  00:13:13,415
But no, you had to avenge him.

182
00:13:13,628  -->  00:13:15,362
And you stabbed a gang member
in the process.

183
00:13:15,658  -->  00:13:17,514
Good thing he survived.

184
00:13:18,269  -->  00:13:20,646
A gang member, man!

185
00:13:20,994  -->  00:13:23,064
If they went after you,
you wouldn’t stand a chance.

186
00:13:23,645  -->  00:13:25,621
Maritess said the same thing.

187
00:13:25,682  -->  00:13:27,184
JC is a good man.

188
00:13:27,593  -->  00:13:31,138
I love that he has principles,
and he's honest.

189
00:13:31,310  -->  00:13:34,408
He just can’t lie,
not even if you put a gun to his head.

190
00:13:35,084  -->  00:13:38,530
But he needs taking care of.
He has mood swings.

191
00:13:39,022  -->  00:13:40,866
And he lacks ambition.

192
00:13:41,070  -->  00:13:43,113
Do you have a dream for yourself?

193
00:13:43,391  -->  00:13:44,767
It used to be clear and simple.

194
00:13:44,792  -->  00:13:46,184
To become a security guard.

195
00:13:46,994  -->  00:13:48,160
SG?

196
00:13:48,191  -->  00:13:51,314
But my father got killed
when I was in sixth grade.

197
00:13:53,068  -->  00:13:54,127
Killed?

198
00:13:54,385  -->  00:13:57,820
He was a security guard for a warehouse.
Someone robbed it.

199
00:13:58,062  -->  00:14:01,690
His colleagues told him it’s safer
to knock yourself out

200
00:14:01,777  -->  00:14:03,767
or pretend to be unconscious
than confront burglars head on.

201
00:14:03,891  -->  00:14:05,828
My father decided to be a hero.

202
00:14:06,188  -->  00:14:10,375
He always said his job
was to protect his territory.

203
00:14:10,791  -->  00:14:12,446
So he went looking for the thief

204
00:14:13,177  -->  00:14:14,762
and got himself shot.

205
00:14:17,105  -->  00:14:20,431
My father was decent. And loving.

206
00:14:22,298  -->  00:14:23,627
What about your mother?

207
00:14:24,357  -->  00:14:26,415
She died giving birth to me.

208
00:14:26,584  -->  00:14:29,042
My father never remarried.

209
00:14:29,600  -->  00:14:31,689
His life revolved around me.

210
00:14:32,043  -->  00:14:33,870
We shared the same dreams.

211
00:14:35,250  -->  00:14:37,360
But those vanished with his passing.

212
00:14:39,378  -->  00:14:43,757
It wasn’t until I met JC
that I started to dream again.

213
00:14:54,153  -->  00:14:57,338
Come with me to the bar
while you’re still looking for a job.

214
00:14:59,703  -->  00:15:01,468
I don’t think I can do it, Bro.

215
00:15:03,596  -->  00:15:06,493
You don’t have to do anything.
Just observe.

216
00:15:06,518  -->  00:15:07,765
Drinks on me.

217
00:15:08,144  -->  00:15:11,479
You know my weakness.

218
00:15:12,780  -->  00:15:13,876
Cheers!

219
00:15:19,877  -->  00:15:22,557
Ma is getting old.

220
00:15:23,098  -->  00:15:25,116
Help me give her
a better life than this.

221
00:15:29,621  -->  00:15:31,248
I want that for her too.

222
00:15:35,418  -->  00:15:37,858
But before I can help anyone,
I must help myself first.

223
00:15:54,088  -->  00:15:56,231
I haven’t cried in a long time.

224
00:15:57,863  -->  00:16:02,487
After I buried my father,
I vowed to never shed a tear again.

225
00:16:04,090  -->  00:16:05,755
I succeeded in doing that.

226
00:16:07,656  -->  00:16:09,869
My next goal was to become fearless.

227
00:16:11,738  -->  00:16:14,463
But every time I think
of my life with JC,

228
00:16:14,488  -->  00:16:16,458
I am frightened.

229
00:16:18,853  -->  00:16:21,256
I know how to fight
just to survive.

230
00:16:22,131  -->  00:16:25,025
I want to learn
how to fight to be happy.

231
00:17:42,498  -->  00:17:46,346
- Go help them.
- Check her out, man.

232
00:17:46,371  -->  00:17:47,385
I got this.

233
00:17:47,993  -->  00:17:49,793
Ma’am Celing, let me
carry that for you.

234
00:17:49,818  -->  00:17:52,029
- Thank you.
- Her daughter is so hot.

235
00:17:55,659  -->  00:17:56,939
Get in, Queenie.

236
00:17:58,056  -->  00:17:59,509
Wait a second.

237
00:18:00,417  -->  00:18:02,064
- No need, ma’am.
- Take it.

238
00:18:02,721  -->  00:18:04,119
Thanks!

239
00:18:04,144  -->  00:18:05,521
Boss, take care of these two!

240
00:18:05,815  -->  00:18:07,900
Our fare.

241
00:18:09,142  -->  00:18:10,894
Two, sir.

242
00:18:26,705  -->  00:18:31,919
What’s wrong, young lady?

243
00:18:31,944  -->  00:18:35,578
I will help you.

244
00:18:36,824  -->  00:18:40,577
Who did this to you?
Come with me.

245
00:19:06,078  -->  00:19:07,830
Please! Stop it!

246
00:19:07,855  -->  00:19:09,440
Enough! I beg you, stop!

247
00:19:09,465  -->  00:19:12,343
I beg you, stop.

248
00:19:15,946  -->  00:19:17,472
Berto!

249
00:19:17,896  -->  00:19:19,397
Berto!

250
00:19:19,658  -->  00:19:21,118
My God!

251
00:19:24,113  -->  00:19:26,324
Help us!

252
00:19:27,012  -->  00:19:29,056
Help my husband!

253
00:19:39,287  -->  00:19:41,831
I can go with you and help.

254
00:19:41,895  -->  00:19:45,141
It’s okay.
Queenie and I manage quite well.

255
00:19:45,379  -->  00:19:47,702
You can help me with the laundry
if you like.

256
00:19:47,789  -->  00:19:48,915
Tonight?

257
00:19:48,940  -->  00:19:49,983
Yes.

258
00:19:50,631  -->  00:19:52,281
Why do you do it at night?

259
00:19:52,457  -->  00:19:54,501
The water pressure is stronger.

260
00:19:55,145  -->  00:20:01,383
Have you and JC made plans?
I wish you’d stay for good.

261
00:20:01,687  -->  00:20:05,860
I’ll start looking for a job.
I used to work at a thrift shop in Baguio.

262
00:20:06,576  -->  00:20:09,287
Do you know someone
who might need a salesgirl?

263
00:20:11,013  -->  00:20:13,224
I’ll ask around.

264
00:20:13,879  -->  00:20:16,090
But you know what?

265
00:20:16,614  -->  00:20:22,797
I’ve been saving up
for a small space.

266
00:20:22,946  -->  00:20:26,093
We can turn it into a cafeteria.
You can help me run it.

267
00:20:26,118  -->  00:20:28,484
I also want to look for a job.
Anywhere.

268
00:20:28,509  -->  00:20:29,702
We can look together.

269
00:20:29,727  -->  00:20:33,735
Forget it, Josie.

270
00:20:33,764  -->  00:20:38,060
Do as your husband says
so there’s no trouble.

271
00:20:38,558  -->  00:20:39,684
Trouble?

272
00:20:40,099  -->  00:20:42,258
Pau doesn’t want me to work.

273
00:20:42,430  -->  00:20:45,563
He wants me at home.
He takes care of everything.

274
00:20:45,700  -->  00:20:47,469
He’s so old-fashioned.

275
00:20:50,008  -->  00:20:51,289
My man’s up.

276
00:20:57,990  -->  00:21:02,078
Rise and shine, bro.
Moon’s up.

277
00:21:02,543  -->  00:21:04,253
Come on.

278
00:21:10,363  -->  00:21:12,152
Good morning, everyone.

279
00:21:12,177  -->  00:21:13,975
It’s almost nighttime, stupid.

280
00:21:16,540  -->  00:21:17,708
Ma.

281
00:21:18,142  -->  00:21:20,225
JC, your breath stinks.

282
00:21:25,153  -->  00:21:26,560
There’s my cassava cake.

283
00:21:26,621  -->  00:21:28,039
Want coffee with that?

284
00:21:28,064  -->  00:21:32,584
Take a nap, Queenie.
I’ll wake you up when it’s time to go.

285
00:21:40,080  -->  00:21:43,701
Queenie, sleep on the bed.
Don't sleep on the floor.

286
00:21:44,282  -->  00:21:47,647
She can't lie down
where a man has just slept.

287
00:21:47,978  -->  00:21:50,553
It’s only Ma’s scent
that she’s used to.

288
00:21:52,251  -->  00:21:55,311
Eat something before your nap.

289
00:21:55,522  -->  00:21:56,522
Come on.

290
00:22:00,556  -->  00:22:01,662
Thank you.

291
00:22:02,708  -->  00:22:03,895
Thank you, love.

292
00:22:04,004  -->  00:22:05,184
Are we out of spoons?

293
00:22:10,892  -->  00:22:13,687
Bro, come with me
to the bar, okay?

294
00:22:15,201  -->  00:22:16,369
Is it okay if I go with him?

295
00:22:16,627  -->  00:22:18,796
I’m fine with everything as long
as you steer clear of trouble.

296
00:22:19,262  -->  00:22:20,388
I will.

297
00:22:20,413  -->  00:22:22,316
But tell trouble
to steer clear of me too.

298
00:22:22,341  -->  00:22:23,824
- Good morning Ma.
- Brush your teeth first.

299
00:22:23,849  -->  00:22:25,004
Do you need money?

300
00:22:25,029  -->  00:22:28,762
No. Pau's got me.

301
00:22:29,371  -->  00:22:31,261
- Pau!
- What?

302
00:22:31,286  -->  00:22:32,457
I'm coming with you!

303
00:22:39,167  -->  00:22:40,228
Jun!

304
00:22:41,892  -->  00:22:42,977
Bro!

305
00:22:44,541  -->  00:22:48,002
This is my brother JC.
JC, Jun.

306
00:22:48,749  -->  00:22:50,668
He’s quite a looker, Pau.

307
00:22:50,693  -->  00:22:52,069
Are you going to be a rent boy too?

308
00:22:52,094  -->  00:22:54,995
Easy, man. He’s new to this.

309
00:22:55,020  -->  00:22:58,127
Newbies are always a hit
with gays.

310
00:22:58,530  -->  00:23:00,324
Ever done it with a gay?

311
00:23:00,582  -->  00:23:02,000
No, I haven’t.

312
00:23:04,341  -->  00:23:05,676
They pay a premium for that.

313
00:23:05,918  -->  00:23:08,295
They have a nose for freshness.

314
00:23:09,837  -->  00:23:11,296
Teach him the ropes.

315
00:23:11,704  -->  00:23:15,622
I want him to work with us
so I can keep an eye on him.

316
00:23:15,999  -->  00:23:19,806
I'm an adult,
but he treats me like a child!

317
00:23:20,307  -->  00:23:25,020
Sorry, bro, my bad.
I meant, so we can be together.

318
00:23:26,146  -->  00:23:27,314
Whatever.

319
00:23:27,732  -->  00:23:30,360
Pineapple juice for me.

320
00:23:30,860  -->  00:23:34,280
Fresh milk for me. JC?

321
00:23:34,305  -->  00:23:35,501
Soda.

322
00:23:54,541  -->  00:23:55,751
Here you go, sir.

323
00:23:56,521  -->  00:23:57,814
Thank you.

324
00:23:58,902  -->  00:24:02,197
You have a client.
The pineapple juice gave you away.

325
00:24:02,222  -->  00:24:04,603
You know me so well.
You're right.

326
00:24:06,455  -->  00:24:08,541
What does pineapple juice
have to do with that?

327
00:24:10,169  -->  00:24:11,594
It increases the volume
of sperm upon orgasm.

328
00:24:11,619  -->  00:24:12,619
What?

329
00:24:13,869  -->  00:24:19,681
Those who swallow
love to choke on it.

330
00:24:19,877  -->  00:24:23,380
They can’t get enough.
It’s a good and cheap investment.

331
00:24:23,412  -->  00:24:26,206
That’s my first tip for you.

332
00:24:28,228  -->  00:24:30,844
Come with me.

333
00:24:31,681  -->  00:24:34,549
My clients are a rich couple.

334
00:24:34,574  -->  00:24:37,768
For three hours, we get
eight thousand each.

335
00:24:37,908  -->  00:24:40,374
Easy money, short time.

336
00:24:40,987  -->  00:24:42,072
Game.

337
00:24:42,267  -->  00:24:45,093
But before we go,
let’s get up onstage and get some tips.

338
00:24:45,687  -->  00:24:51,117
Hello bitches, bitchboys,
and bitchballs!

339
00:24:51,438  -->  00:24:54,483
Sorry to say bitchballs
account for majority!

340
00:24:55,192  -->  00:24:56,898
- George!
- Bro!

341
00:24:57,025  -->  00:24:58,610
Buddy! Bro!

342
00:24:58,635  -->  00:25:02,984
This is JC, my brother.

343
00:25:04,188  -->  00:25:06,980
Again, trans women are women,

344
00:25:07,005  -->  00:25:11,101
trans men are men.
So my sis here is a woman.

345
00:25:11,367  -->  00:25:20,607
[chattering]

346
00:25:20,679  -->  00:25:23,561
- Go ahead and entertain your client.
- Seriously?

347
00:25:23,586  -->  00:25:25,024
Smile!

348
00:25:25,157  -->  00:25:26,764
Mama Chester!

349
00:25:26,789  -->  00:25:29,650
Hello, son, hello!

350
00:25:29,675  -->  00:25:31,525
This is my brother JC.

351
00:25:33,766  -->  00:25:37,923
I sniff arrogance.
That’s easy to solve.

352
00:25:37,948  -->  00:25:40,075
Wanna work here?

353
00:25:42,047  -->  00:25:43,321
I don’t know.

354
00:25:43,377  -->  00:25:47,282
When you’re broke, you’ll know.

355
00:25:50,517  -->  00:25:52,057
Do you carry a big stick?

356
00:25:52,082  -->  00:25:56,946
Oh no, don’t act the virgin.

357
00:25:57,004  -->  00:26:00,015
Some customers actually like it
when you play hard to get.

358
00:26:00,040  -->  00:26:04,445
But most find it a turn-off.

359
00:26:04,470  -->  00:26:07,114
You, go backstage and get ready.
The show’s about to start.

360
00:26:07,139  -->  00:26:08,432
Stay here.

361
00:26:08,457  -->  00:26:11,775
Don’t let Mama Chester fool you,
she’s actually a sweetheart.

362
00:26:12,561  -->  00:26:14,521
Did you have to scare him?

363
00:26:15,150  -->  00:26:16,607
Are you okay?

364
00:26:16,632  -->  00:26:19,026
Your brother is a nice guy.

365
00:26:19,282  -->  00:26:24,423
But in this line of work,
freshness trumps niceness.

366
00:26:24,448  -->  00:26:28,032
You’re as fresh as a sunrise.

367
00:26:28,057  -->  00:26:33,271
Pau is closer to sunset.

368
00:26:34,461  -->  00:26:40,968
Can I start by sitting with
customers and nothing more?

369
00:26:40,993  -->  00:26:44,079
Just sit with customers?
You mean like a welcome committee?

370
00:26:44,249  -->  00:26:46,710
Oh no, in here, you have
to be ready for anything.

371
00:26:46,735  -->  00:26:52,345
I’m a connoisseur
when it comes to men.

372
00:26:52,868  -->  00:26:58,832
I sense that you’re a good guy at heart,
but you have a temper.

373
00:26:58,857  -->  00:27:01,571
Listen, this is important.

374
00:27:01,975  -->  00:27:06,743
Not everyone here wants sex.

375
00:27:06,922  -->  00:27:11,427
Some are here for more than that.
Don’t forget this.

376
00:27:11,453  -->  00:27:13,321
Okay, enjoy!

377
00:27:13,751  -->  00:27:14,804
See you around.

378
00:27:14,829  -->  00:27:17,417
How are you, sis?

379
00:27:17,442  -->  00:27:21,255
That crown looks too heavy
for your pretty little head.

380
00:27:21,280  -->  00:27:25,200
It looks expensive, take good care of it.
Okay, enjoy!

381
00:27:41,775  -->  00:27:44,710
- Thank you for eating!
- Two orders of rice and pork stew.

382
00:27:44,735  -->  00:27:46,613
- Dine-in?
- Yes, ma’am.

383
00:27:46,638  -->  00:27:47,735
Here, ma’am.

384
00:27:48,407  -->  00:27:49,501
Thank you.

385
00:27:50,410  -->  00:27:52,392
Ma'am Celing.

386
00:27:52,417  -->  00:27:55,138
Two macaroni soup
with egg, take out.

387
00:27:55,163  -->  00:27:56,331
Okay.

388
00:27:56,356  -->  00:27:58,859
- Okay, got it. Yours is pork stew?
- Yes, ma’am.

389
00:28:01,286  -->  00:28:04,822
I once caught JC
with a woman.

390
00:28:05,884  -->  00:28:08,128
Must’ve been a big fight.

391
00:28:08,497  -->  00:28:10,464
No, we’re not into that.

392
00:28:11,093  -->  00:28:12,591
We talked.

393
00:28:14,573  -->  00:28:15,938
He said it was lust, nothing more.

394
00:28:16,021  -->  00:28:19,932
I said that if they were doing it regularly
then it's a relationship.

395
00:28:20,725  -->  00:28:22,018
He’s a man, he said.

396
00:28:22,043  -->  00:28:23,862
Rub it a little and it gets hard.

397
00:28:24,042  -->  00:28:27,898
And a real man,
he said, doesn’t back down.

398
00:28:28,316  -->  00:28:30,943
I wanted to hit him
for giving me that bullshit reason.

399
00:28:31,844  -->  00:28:33,522
What did you do?

400
00:28:34,363  -->  00:28:37,783
JC listens as long as you’re calm.

401
00:28:38,657  -->  00:28:41,370
I asked him if he liked it
when I get hurt by his actions.

402
00:28:41,696  -->  00:28:43,239
He said no.

403
00:28:43,630  -->  00:28:47,376
I told him it would hurt me
if he did it again.

404
00:28:47,983  -->  00:28:52,172
He thought about it
and looked at me.

405
00:28:52,626  -->  00:28:54,955
I could see the sadness in his eyes.

406
00:28:56,097  -->  00:28:58,596
He embraced me
and then he said sorry.

407
00:28:58,925  -->  00:29:00,472
He promised he’d never do it again.

408
00:29:01,072  -->  00:29:02,558
Like a scene from a movie.

409
00:29:04,983  -->  00:29:08,595
He’s both a man and a child.
It’s not hard to read him.

410
00:29:09,024  -->  00:29:10,496
Except for the mood swings.

411
00:29:11,791  -->  00:29:13,585
How many boyfriends
did you have before Pau?

412
00:29:15,010  -->  00:29:16,887
He’s the only man I’ve loved.

413
00:29:16,928  -->  00:29:18,054
Wow, really?

414
00:29:18,079  -->  00:29:19,329
Yes, really.

415
00:29:19,556  -->  00:29:21,183
And you’re the only one he’s loved?

416
00:29:21,208  -->  00:29:22,661
The only woman?

417
00:29:24,110  -->  00:29:26,748
- Yes.
- Huh? What do you mean?

418
00:29:52,489  -->  00:29:54,574
Hello, Mommy.

419
00:29:54,574  -->  00:29:56,118
- You’re here early!
- Of course!

420
00:29:56,118  -->  00:30:00,876
- Nice to meet you.
- I’ll leave you two here, okay?

421
00:30:00,901  -->  00:30:01,921
Okay.

422
00:30:01,946  -->  00:30:05,032
Enjoy, thank you.

423
00:30:05,057  -->  00:30:06,809
Beer or hard?

424
00:30:07,107  -->  00:30:08,317
Beer.

425
00:30:08,439  -->  00:30:09,595
Waiter!

426
00:30:26,600  -->  00:30:28,806
JC, you’re new here?

427
00:30:29,084  -->  00:30:30,085
Yes, sir.

428
00:30:30,748  -->  00:30:32,160
You’re Pau’s brother?

429
00:30:32,591  -->  00:30:33,926
Yes, sir.

430
00:30:35,774  -->  00:30:37,901
Are you as good as him?

431
00:30:40,856  -->  00:30:42,615
I have no experience.

432
00:30:43,055  -->  00:30:45,327
Are you saying that
to jack up your price?

433
00:30:47,519  -->  00:30:50,272
I’m reasonable.
How much do you want?

434
00:30:50,367  -->  00:30:52,048
One time, big time.

435
00:30:53,603  -->  00:30:55,886
Sorry too. I’m also quite frank.

436
00:30:56,034  -->  00:31:00,663
I’m not ready for what you want.

437
00:31:01,213  -->  00:31:03,173
Thanks for the beer.

438
00:31:06,438  -->  00:31:08,523
Excuse me, I’ll be back.

439
00:31:27,294  -->  00:31:28,378
New?

440
00:31:31,584  -->  00:31:32,585
What?

441
00:31:33,522  -->  00:31:35,227
You’re a stripper?

442
00:31:38,165  -->  00:31:39,262
No.

443
00:31:40,263  -->  00:31:41,633
Not yet.

444
00:31:43,046  -->  00:31:46,675
I’m Liza. I dance next door.

445
00:31:49,107  -->  00:31:51,720
Did you know that you men are
more expensive than us women?

446
00:31:52,272  -->  00:31:53,523
Really?

447
00:31:54,764  -->  00:31:58,602
Your star performer earns much more
than our star performer.

448
00:31:58,695  -->  00:32:01,906
Even a has-been male stripper
makes more than we do.

449
00:32:02,116  -->  00:32:06,689
Our has-beens get zero, zilch, nada.

450
00:32:07,010  -->  00:32:08,428
I have a theory.

451
00:32:08,453  -->  00:32:10,204
Gay men are richer.

452
00:32:11,555  -->  00:32:13,564
Or they’re alone in life.

453
00:32:13,774  -->  00:32:15,914
They have more disposable income

454
00:32:15,939  -->  00:32:18,044
than straight men who are just
as horny but have families to feed.

455
00:32:18,942  -->  00:32:21,947
Also, gay men tend
to be drama queens

456
00:32:21,972  -->  00:32:24,802
and they’re willing to pay good money
to keep up their fantasies.

457
00:32:26,080  -->  00:32:27,498
Maybe that’s it.

458
00:32:27,607  -->  00:32:29,764
We women are just itch removers basically.

459
00:32:30,226  -->  00:32:32,058
We don’t exist outside of bed.

460
00:32:35,931  -->  00:32:37,599
Do I talk too much?

461
00:32:37,700  -->  00:32:39,385
I’m usually not talkative,
actually the opposite.

462
00:32:39,410  -->  00:32:41,657
Maybe I’m nervous
because I like you.

463
00:32:43,250  -->  00:32:44,543
That wasn’t a joke.

464
00:32:44,568  -->  00:32:47,365
I’m the star performer next door.
They pay me well.

465
00:32:48,368  -->  00:32:52,627
Once in a while,
I like to do the paying.

466
00:32:53,823  -->  00:32:55,825
Game?

467
00:32:56,119  -->  00:32:57,876
I’m not a rent boy.

468
00:33:00,209  -->  00:33:03,214
Fine, let’s get you drunk first.
What do you want to drink?

469
00:33:04,943  -->  00:33:07,112
Aren’t they looking for you onstage?

470
00:33:07,469  -->  00:33:09,022
I can have a beer.

471
00:33:10,881  -->  00:33:13,300
Boss! Two beers.

472
00:33:28,852  -->  00:33:31,455
Hey! Go home!

473
00:33:31,767  -->  00:33:33,186
Don’t be afraid.

474
00:33:38,441  -->  00:33:39,478
Ma'am.

475
00:33:39,806  -->  00:33:40,912
Sir?

476
00:33:40,937  -->  00:33:42,397
Pork stew, rice, soup.

477
00:33:42,504  -->  00:33:44,181
Okay, sir.

478
00:33:49,931  -->  00:33:52,703
He never pays.
What did you expect, he’s a cop.

479
00:33:52,728  -->  00:33:55,009
Let’s have some cassava cake
before we sleep.

480
00:33:55,034  -->  00:33:57,150
Should we wait for Ma and Queenie?

481
00:33:57,220  -->  00:33:58,346
No.

482
00:33:58,796  -->  00:34:00,939
They won’t be home
'til the crack of dawn.

483
00:34:02,144  -->  00:34:03,567
What about Pau and JC?

484
00:34:03,920  -->  00:34:09,300
That depends on how busy the bar is.
If it’s slow they’ll be here by 4 or 5 AM.

485
00:34:10,110  -->  00:34:14,911
Sometimes Pau would
pick up Ma and Queenie.

486
00:34:15,903  -->  00:34:20,064
If a customer takes him out,

487
00:34:20,089  -->  00:34:22,845
he’ll be back much later.

488
00:34:22,870  -->  00:34:24,589
Sometimes at lunchtime.

489
00:34:25,696  -->  00:34:28,383
I hope you won’t mind me
asking you this.

490
00:34:29,668  -->  00:34:32,637
It's fine. We’re family.

491
00:34:33,470  -->  00:34:35,180
What do you want to know?

492
00:34:35,453  -->  00:34:40,562
How do you feel when he comes home at noon
knowing he’s had sex with someone?

493
00:34:42,806  -->  00:34:44,406
I don’t feel anything anymore.

494
00:34:45,228  -->  00:34:46,901
It’s just a job.

495
00:34:47,632  -->  00:34:52,324
Nothing that a shower
and good soap can’t wash away.

496
00:34:52,735  -->  00:34:54,207
It’s like it never happened.

497
00:35:27,513  -->  00:35:29,098
Her name’s Maritess.

498
00:35:29,922  -->  00:35:31,290
Pretty name.

499
00:35:32,054  -->  00:35:34,724
Maria Teresa.

500
00:35:35,464  -->  00:35:37,035
Sounds like a saint.

501
00:35:38,146  -->  00:35:40,524
Maria Teresita.

502
00:35:40,998  -->  00:35:42,874
Little saint.

503
00:35:44,381  -->  00:35:45,962
She’s no saint,

504
00:35:46,237  -->  00:35:48,531
but she’s kind.

505
00:35:48,693  -->  00:35:50,195
Beautiful.

506
00:35:50,765  -->  00:35:52,225
And she loves me.

507
00:35:53,775  -->  00:35:55,804
She’s lucky to have you.

508
00:35:59,605  -->  00:36:01,851
Liza’s not my real name.

509
00:36:02,847  -->  00:36:06,601
It’s Rebecca.

510
00:36:07,097  -->  00:36:08,858
Pretty nice too, right?

511
00:36:09,790  -->  00:36:15,379
I was named after my grandmother,
that’s why I don’t use it for work.

512
00:36:15,676  -->  00:36:16,927
Why “Liza?"

513
00:36:16,952  -->  00:36:18,701
When I was a little girl,

514
00:36:19,263  -->  00:36:21,462
they shaved my head completely bald.

515
00:36:21,557  -->  00:36:26,525
It was full of lice.
Get it?

516
00:36:35,517  -->  00:36:36,643
Don't test me.

517
00:37:10,760  -->  00:37:12,345
Stop.

518
00:37:14,211  -->  00:37:15,921
What’s wrong?

519
00:37:16,975  -->  00:37:18,560
Sorry.

520
00:37:19,064  -->  00:37:20,983
I made a promise to Maritess.

521
00:39:04,546  -->  00:39:07,340
Did you get bored?

522
00:39:07,365  -->  00:39:08,580
I’m okay.

523
00:39:15,024  -->  00:39:17,861
A little spending money
for you.

524
00:39:18,033  -->  00:39:19,451
Thanks, bro.

525
00:39:20,090  -->  00:39:22,592
I’ll pay you back
when I find a job.

526
00:39:22,793  -->  00:39:23,919
Jackass!

527
00:39:23,944  -->  00:39:26,905
From the time we were kids,
I’ve never collected

528
00:39:27,028  -->  00:39:29,030
and you’ve never offered.

529
00:39:29,336  -->  00:39:32,172
I know. Just had to say it.
To lessen the guilt.

530
00:39:32,197  -->  00:39:33,704
Let’s eat.

531
00:39:33,729  -->  00:39:34,806
Ah!

532
00:39:57,078  -->  00:40:01,173
Have pity on me, Pa. Stop.

533
00:40:01,198  -->  00:40:04,642
Pa. Stop.

534
00:40:05,157  -->  00:40:08,646
Have pity on me. Please stop…

535
00:40:08,671  -->  00:40:12,718
Pa. Stop, please stop…

536
00:40:12,743  -->  00:40:16,439
Please stop…

537
00:40:16,464  -->  00:40:17,611
Queenie…

538
00:40:18,640  -->  00:40:19,933
Queenie.

539
00:40:20,128  -->  00:40:21,505
Queenie.

540
00:40:22,452  -->  00:40:24,370
Queenie.

541
00:40:28,109  -->  00:40:34,839
There, there.

542
00:40:49,021  -->  00:40:52,100
It will be okay.

543
00:40:53,190  -->  00:40:55,853
I haven’t had anything this good
in a long time.

544
00:40:56,790  -->  00:40:59,459
Maritess and I are on a tight budget.

545
00:41:00,642  -->  00:41:02,490
She’s good at handling money.

546
00:41:03,910  -->  00:41:05,232
That’s a good thing.

547
00:41:05,293  -->  00:41:07,045
We need to save up.

548
00:41:07,355  -->  00:41:09,441
Josie’s the same.

549
00:41:09,909  -->  00:41:15,248
I want to grow our savings
before I leave.

550
00:41:16,109  -->  00:41:17,245
Where are you going?

551
00:41:18,431  -->  00:41:21,713
You’re the first one I’m telling
so keep it between us.

552
00:41:22,503  -->  00:41:24,338
Remember Allan?

553
00:41:25,235  -->  00:41:27,302
Your client who became your lover?

554
00:41:27,700  -->  00:41:29,173
He’s in America, right?

555
00:41:29,226  -->  00:41:30,936
We stayed in touch.

556
00:41:30,961  -->  00:41:33,296
Josie doesn’t know.

557
00:41:33,652  -->  00:41:38,313
He’s bringing me to the US to marry me
so I can have a green card.

558
00:42:22,113  -->  00:42:23,650
Hungry?

559
00:42:42,216  -->  00:42:43,301
Have you eaten?

560
00:42:43,301  -->  00:42:44,594
Yes.

561
00:42:55,830  -->  00:42:57,517
Keep it, it's yours.

562
00:42:57,804  -->  00:43:00,973
Give this to Ma.

563
00:43:01,514  -->  00:43:04,537
I have some chocolate for Queenie.

564
00:43:07,141  -->  00:43:08,402
Give it to her.

565
00:43:33,572  -->  00:43:34,888
How was your day?

566
00:43:35,886  -->  00:43:37,716
Your family is good to me.

567
00:43:38,024  -->  00:43:39,767
Don’t you want us to stay?

568
00:43:41,359  -->  00:43:42,687
You know me.

569
00:43:43,578  -->  00:43:47,415
I won’t stop until I get even with those
who’ve done me wrong.

570
00:43:48,608  -->  00:43:50,443
And you know I’ll stop you.

571
00:43:51,197  -->  00:43:52,239
Yes.

572
00:43:52,973  -->  00:43:55,533
But you know that I’m just waiting
for the right time to strike.

573
00:44:00,630  -->  00:44:03,374
What do you think
of Pau’s workplace?

574
00:44:04,090  -->  00:44:05,126
It’s okay.

575
00:44:05,880  -->  00:44:07,753
A different breed of people, for a change.

576
00:44:09,504  -->  00:44:11,881
Do you want to work there?

577
00:44:13,422  -->  00:44:14,840
Maybe.

578
00:44:16,401  -->  00:44:17,596
Maybe.

579
00:44:18,208  -->  00:44:22,045
I can do the chitchat
and maybe a little dancing.

580
00:44:24,735  -->  00:44:26,487
Get some sleep.

581
00:44:28,293  -->  00:44:29,734
I’ll just take a bath.

582
00:44:50,428  -->  00:44:54,223
Twilight

583
00:44:55,599  -->  00:45:00,129
Happy birthday, Ma. Love you.

584
00:45:00,154  -->  00:45:01,397
You need mouthwash.

585
00:45:01,397  -->  00:45:03,107
I’ll give Ma her gift later.

586
00:45:03,132  -->  00:45:04,842
For you, Queenie.

587
00:45:05,332  -->  00:45:08,147
Buy a new dress,
even if it's not your birthday.

588
00:45:08,485  -->  00:45:09,569
Oh, also for you—

589
00:45:09,594  -->  00:45:11,693
Bought it from someone at work.

590
00:45:12,216  -->  00:45:13,426
It’s real silver.

591
00:45:13,451  -->  00:45:15,761
So beautiful.

592
00:45:15,786  -->  00:45:16,804
Come, Queenie.

593
00:45:16,829  -->  00:45:18,826
Let me put it on you.

594
00:45:18,873  -->  00:45:21,267
Hey! Haven’t you taken a bath yet?

595
00:45:21,292  -->  00:45:25,849
- Get dressed JC, we’ll be late already.
- Where’s Pau?

596
00:45:26,255  -->  00:45:28,732
Five months of peace and quiet.

597
00:45:29,216  -->  00:45:30,638
JC’s mother is right.

598
00:45:30,776  -->  00:45:35,489
Don’t mind the noise, stay in your lane,
focus on your own life and dreams

599
00:45:35,514  -->  00:45:37,193
and you will get somewhere.

600
00:45:37,247  -->  00:45:38,373
I’m happy here.

601
00:45:38,476  -->  00:45:40,061
They’re my family now.

602
00:45:40,636  -->  00:45:43,931
Ma's this close
to getting her own space for the eatery.

603
00:45:43,956  -->  00:45:47,177
Pau is about to redeem
the family property in the province.

604
00:45:47,523  -->  00:45:49,692
He and Josie
have managed to save up quite a lot.

605
00:45:49,738  -->  00:45:52,365
No wonder they don’t buy new things.

606
00:45:53,443  -->  00:45:57,254
I’ve started saving too,
ever since JC went to to work with Pau.

607
00:45:57,279  -->  00:46:00,301
Not much though,
because JC doesn’t go out with customers.

608
00:46:00,326  -->  00:46:03,467
But JC brags he's the star dancer.

609
00:46:03,492  -->  00:46:05,578
This is our gift to you!

610
00:46:05,770  -->  00:46:06,771
Really?

611
00:46:06,830  -->  00:46:09,665
We've paid half already!

612
00:46:09,690  -->  00:46:12,535
Just one more year
and it’s fully paid.

613
00:46:12,560  -->  00:46:14,151
You've made so happy.

614
00:46:14,176  -->  00:46:17,513
What about your plans?

615
00:46:17,740  -->  00:46:20,659
Don’t worry.
There’s enough left in our savings.

616
00:46:20,684  -->  00:46:24,246
If you knew how much,
you’d borrow money from us.

617
00:46:24,271  -->  00:46:26,415
No way! Stop joking around.

618
00:46:26,440  -->  00:46:29,251
Are Josie and Maritess okay with this?

619
00:46:29,276  -->  00:46:32,818
Ma, this has been our plan all along.

620
00:46:32,843  -->  00:46:33,923
Really?

621
00:46:33,948  -->  00:46:36,801
JC and I contributed a little.
Josie and Pau’s share is much bigger.

622
00:46:36,826  -->  00:46:40,579
- My sons are the best!
- We’re so happy for you.

623
00:46:40,604  -->  00:46:43,295
Happy birthday, Ma.

624
00:47:17,116  -->  00:47:19,702
Are you okay, bro?
Did you have fun?

625
00:47:21,461  -->  00:47:23,195
Bro, cheers.

626
00:47:23,709  -->  00:47:25,647
I thought you’d avoid me.

627
00:47:27,768  -->  00:47:29,603
Sorry about last time.

628
00:47:30,579  -->  00:47:32,249
You left me hanging.

629
00:47:33,473  -->  00:47:36,267
We can be friends.

630
00:47:37,052  -->  00:47:39,096
We can be that, outside.

631
00:47:39,260  -->  00:47:42,930
Here I want to be your customer.
In case you change your mind.

632
00:47:45,354  -->  00:47:49,483
There’s so many here.
Want me to help you choose?

633
00:47:51,775  -->  00:47:54,570
The chase thrills me.

634
00:47:54,958  -->  00:47:57,437
I know you don’t go out
with your customers.

635
00:47:59,421  -->  00:48:01,203
Why can’t I be the exception?

636
00:48:01,459  -->  00:48:05,213
Even though it's been used,
mine still smells good, you know!

637
00:48:15,007  -->  00:48:17,426
Hey, I’m still here.

638
00:48:17,546  -->  00:48:20,174
I said, I’m a good customer.

639
00:48:20,199  -->  00:48:23,013
I know you’re tired
so I’ll do all the work.

640
00:48:24,833  -->  00:48:26,335
I’m a man.

641
00:48:26,698  -->  00:48:28,716
You make me horny.

642
00:48:30,075  -->  00:48:32,942
But that’s all there is…

643
00:48:32,967  -->  00:48:34,328
I’ll take that.

644
00:48:36,140  -->  00:48:37,981
No feelings.

645
00:48:38,123  -->  00:48:40,084
I just want to taste you.

646
00:48:41,502  -->  00:48:44,046
We all taste the same.

647
00:48:44,117  -->  00:48:45,452
Wrong.

648
00:48:46,051  -->  00:48:49,841
I’m sure yours is sweeter.

649
00:49:56,191  -->  00:49:57,928
Hey.

650
00:49:59,379  -->  00:50:01,106
No need for that.

651
00:50:01,882  -->  00:50:04,444
Take it. I still earn
more than you do.

652
00:50:05,986  -->  00:50:09,191
I’ll stop paying
when you fall in love with me.

653
00:50:11,746  -->  00:50:12,827
Thanks.

654
00:50:13,034  -->  00:50:14,185
Thank you.

655
00:50:21,263  -->  00:50:24,044
Hey asshole!
What's your problem, huh?

656
00:50:25,439  -->  00:50:26,857
Maritess!

657
00:50:27,156  -->  00:50:29,277
JC is fighting with someone!

658
00:50:29,302  -->  00:50:30,309
What?

659
00:50:30,371  -->  00:50:32,114
Pau! Wake up!

660
00:50:32,256  -->  00:50:36,457
Your brother’s in a fight.

661
00:50:36,482  -->  00:50:37,524
Hold on.

662
00:50:48,083  -->  00:50:50,427
Bro, stop it!
Enough! Bro!

663
00:50:50,452  -->  00:50:51,828
JC!

664
00:50:51,853  -->  00:50:56,775
Screw you!
Stop tripping on Queenie!

665
00:50:56,800  -->  00:50:58,885
She’s a child! You pervert!

666
00:50:58,910  -->  00:51:03,013
Let go of me!
I’m defending our sister’s honor!

667
00:51:03,038  -->  00:51:07,655
They have no respect.
I’m defending Queenie.

668
00:51:07,680  -->  00:51:09,807
I'm tired of all of this.

669
00:51:09,832  -->  00:51:11,958
You always have an excuse.

670
00:51:15,091  -->  00:51:16,705
Stop it!

671
00:51:16,730  -->  00:51:20,021
- We were just talking.
- Asshole!

672
00:51:20,046  -->  00:51:23,936
So what if we find your sister sexy?

673
00:51:23,961  -->  00:51:28,458
So what if we jack off
thinking of her naked?

674
00:51:28,483  -->  00:51:31,313
Let’s settle this at the town hall.

675
00:51:31,338  -->  00:51:33,052
We’ll follow.

676
00:52:04,486  -->  00:52:05,821
Is Pau home?

677
00:52:05,884  -->  00:52:07,704
What’s this about, sir?

678
00:52:11,878  -->  00:52:13,020
Josie?

679
00:52:14,154  -->  00:52:15,447
I’m Allan.

680
00:52:24,479  -->  00:52:27,210
Pau never mentioned it.

681
00:52:32,193  -->  00:52:36,929
Sorry if I had to be the one
to break it to you.

682
00:52:38,815  -->  00:52:43,102
Don’t worry.
You’re in our plans.

683
00:52:45,015  -->  00:52:47,090
But first we have
to get married in the US.

684
00:52:49,673  -->  00:52:50,921
That’s allowed?

685
00:52:53,198  -->  00:52:54,321
It’s legal there.

686
00:52:56,342  -->  00:52:59,535
It’s the fastest way
of getting Pau his papers.

687
00:53:00,802  -->  00:53:02,496
Once that’s out of the way...

688
00:53:05,417  -->  00:53:07,752
we’ll send for you and Ma.

689
00:53:13,503  -->  00:53:15,259
Pau is leaving me?

690
00:53:21,371  -->  00:53:22,442
Josie.

691
00:53:24,666  -->  00:53:26,062
Only in the beginning.

692
00:53:26,465  -->  00:53:27,813
How many months?

693
00:53:30,081  -->  00:53:32,776
Two or three years.

694
00:53:34,961  -->  00:53:36,738
Then we’ll get a divorce.

695
00:53:37,632  -->  00:53:42,030
He’ll come back here
and marry you.

696
00:53:42,742  -->  00:53:44,478
Then he can bring you there.

697
00:53:46,984  -->  00:53:49,168
Why are you taking Pau from us?

698
00:53:53,529  -->  00:53:57,169
You’re using America to lure him.

699
00:54:00,559  -->  00:54:02,305
Pau wants a new life.

700
00:54:03,805  -->  00:54:05,921
So you get to marry him
before I do.

701
00:54:08,915  -->  00:54:10,082
Josie.

702
00:54:14,324  -->  00:54:18,155
I hope you won’t deny him
this chance at a better life.

703
00:54:22,349  -->  00:54:24,036
Without your consent...

704
00:54:25,174  -->  00:54:27,434
we’re not going through with it.

705
00:54:29,891  -->  00:54:32,961
Have we been sharing Pau
all this time?

706
00:54:35,806  -->  00:54:37,716
Does he love you
more than he loves me?

707
00:54:42,480  -->  00:54:45,182
I can make sacrifices for Pau.

708
00:54:48,136  -->  00:54:53,482
But if after all this
I still end up losing him…

709
00:54:54,851  -->  00:54:57,778
That’s something I can’t take.

710
00:55:05,591  -->  00:55:07,184
[clamoring]

711
00:55:07,210  -->  00:55:11,878
I apologize on behalf of my son.
Please don’t file charges against him.

712
00:55:11,903  -->  00:55:14,801
What the heck!
Don’t plead with these assholes.

713
00:55:14,826  -->  00:55:18,646
JC, shut up!

714
00:55:19,089  -->  00:55:22,618
You’re just like your father.

715
00:55:22,643  -->  00:55:24,997
I thought I was done with all of this.

716
00:55:25,825  -->  00:55:33,380
I’m too old to be begging like this.

717
00:55:33,405  -->  00:55:36,108
Bro, for her sake, calm down.

718
00:55:38,327  -->  00:55:41,288
Listen for once!

719
00:55:44,474  -->  00:55:50,729
For your medicines.
I beg your forgiveness.

720
00:55:50,754  -->  00:55:55,903
You’re a saint, Ma’am Celing,
but your son is the devil.

721
00:55:57,261  -->  00:55:58,971
I’m your mother.

722
00:56:00,737  -->  00:56:06,474
No matter what you do,
I will never get tired of helping you.

723
00:56:11,513  -->  00:56:13,144
I’m really sorry.

724
00:56:16,292  -->  00:56:20,819
I can’t control my temper.

725
00:56:25,335  -->  00:56:26,867
Your father was the same.

726
00:56:29,232  -->  00:56:31,122
No amount of pleading from me
could tame him.

727
00:56:33,687  -->  00:56:35,834
I couldn't keep an eye
on him all the time.

728
00:56:37,983  -->  00:56:40,062
Many times we had to move...

729
00:56:41,763  -->  00:56:48,097
and each time
he’d find someone to fight with.

730
00:56:53,286  -->  00:56:59,400
Aren’t you tired of
my son yet, Maritess?

731
00:57:00,670  -->  00:57:02,588
I love him.

732
00:57:08,492  -->  00:57:10,244
I’m old.

733
00:57:14,220  -->  00:57:16,430
I pray for only one thing:

734
00:57:18,103  -->  00:57:26,713
a quiet life for all of us, together.

735
00:57:29,641  -->  00:57:32,683
This family is what keeps me going.

736
00:57:34,763  -->  00:57:37,609
I’m sorry, Ma,
but Pau has other plans.

737
00:57:43,301  -->  00:57:44,504
What plans, Pau?

738
00:58:14,212  -->  00:58:18,103
Allan is taking me to America.

739
00:58:19,363  -->  00:58:26,028
Once my papers are fixed,
I’ll file a petition for you and Josie.

740
00:58:31,941  -->  00:58:36,570
Are you okay with this, Josie?

741
00:58:52,307  -->  00:58:54,173
I’m trying my best to accept it.

742
00:59:10,614  -->  00:59:16,119
Queenie, finish what I’m doing.

743
00:59:16,744  -->  00:59:19,415
I left something at the store.

744
00:59:51,378  -->  00:59:52,976
I didn’t know you drank.

745
00:59:55,453  -->  00:59:59,232
My last drink was
when we buried JC’s father.

746
01:00:06,264  -->  01:00:08,766
Out of grief?

747
01:00:10,411  -->  01:00:11,509
Maybe.

748
01:00:13,151  -->  01:00:18,525
But also out of relief.
I didn’t have to worry about him anymore.

749
01:00:20,859  -->  01:00:24,312
I felt scared too.

750
01:00:25,108  -->  01:00:29,276
Suddenly I was left alone
to raise my sons.

751
01:00:31,329  -->  01:00:35,908
I guess I’m not sure
why anyone drinks.

752
01:00:45,109  -->  01:00:48,628
My last drink was the first night
JC and I became a couple.

753
01:00:48,811  -->  01:00:50,130
We were at a bar.

754
01:00:50,508  -->  01:00:55,886
I got so drunk that when JC got in a fight
I couldn’t stop him.

755
01:00:56,618  -->  01:00:58,632
Since then I swore off drinking.

756
01:01:01,560  -->  01:01:05,729
You suddenly realized
your calling as JC’s bodyguard.

757
01:01:08,613  -->  01:01:14,160
His own body-guardian angel.

758
01:02:22,215  -->  01:02:24,266
What’s your dream?

759
01:02:25,979  -->  01:02:28,311
I love you, believe me.

760
01:02:30,449  -->  01:02:32,024
I believe you.

761
01:02:33,450  -->  01:02:36,027
But I also know you love him too.

762
01:02:39,339  -->  01:02:40,782
That’s different.

763
01:02:44,250  -->  01:02:47,331
Your other customers I don’t mind.

764
01:02:48,734  -->  01:02:51,751
It’s only your body
that we lend to them.

765
01:02:53,811  -->  01:02:56,840
That’s all they want,
that’s all they get.

766
01:02:57,655  -->  01:03:00,560
With Allan I have
to share your heart.

767
01:03:00,585  -->  01:03:02,679
Don’t think of it that way.

768
01:03:04,575  -->  01:03:06,994
How then?

769
01:03:07,529  -->  01:03:12,606
We need him
to improve our life.

770
01:03:18,226  -->  01:03:22,223
I know you. You play fair.

771
01:03:23,794  -->  01:03:27,996
Allan is only doing this because he can get
what he wants from you.

772
01:03:32,517  -->  01:03:34,383
What do you want me to do?

773
01:03:41,956  -->  01:03:43,875
I won’t stop you.

774
01:03:47,837  -->  01:03:52,094
Promise me we’ll grow old together.

775
01:03:53,807  -->  01:03:57,435
I promise, we'll grow old together.

776
01:03:58,430  -->  01:04:04,199
I want our children
to have a better life than this.

777
01:04:22,680  -->  01:04:26,563
- She was having a nightmare.
- Queenie.

778
01:04:27,344  -->  01:04:29,892
Queenie!

779
01:04:29,917  -->  01:04:30,917
Ouch!

780
01:04:32,204  -->  01:04:34,581
Damn that father of hers.

781
01:04:34,606  -->  01:04:37,438
Does he even know the pain
he’s caused Queenie?

782
01:04:37,463  -->  01:04:39,633
If I ever see that son of a bitch…

783
01:04:39,658  -->  01:04:42,048
Bro, calm down.

784
01:04:42,102  -->  01:04:45,673
Queenie! Queenie! Calm down!

785
01:04:48,298  -->  01:04:51,071
Calm down, Queenie.

786
01:05:17,754  -->  01:05:22,509
What if you open early
so you can come home before it gets late?

787
01:05:22,534  -->  01:05:28,219
No, we’re sticking
with dinner to early morning.

788
01:05:28,244  -->  01:05:30,619
My regulars will miss me.

789
01:05:30,904  -->  01:05:33,824
Pau has a point.
Why not start with breakfast?

790
01:05:33,895  -->  01:05:36,773
Breakfast time is slow!

791
01:05:36,798  -->  01:05:39,290
These days people get by
with only bread and coffee.

792
01:05:39,315  -->  01:05:40,944
Ma, we’re here!

793
01:05:40,969  -->  01:05:43,844
- Ma, we got you food warmers.
- Really?

794
01:05:44,187  -->  01:05:46,596
You did a great job with the place.

795
01:05:46,719  -->  01:05:49,827
Food warmers?
That’s so posh, Ma.

796
01:05:49,852  -->  01:05:50,645
You’re all set!

797
01:05:50,645  -->  01:05:53,665
JC insisted.
I told him I don’t need those.

798
01:05:53,690  -->  01:05:58,111
My customers are used to seeing my food
in old pots and pans.

799
01:05:58,136  -->  01:05:59,314
Looks yummy.

800
01:06:00,363  -->  01:06:02,673
Move, move, we’re about to open!

801
01:06:02,699  -->  01:06:09,347
Sir, the drugs must have been planted.

802
01:06:09,372  -->  01:06:11,587
Jun is no addict. I’ve known him
for a long time.

803
01:06:11,612  -->  01:06:12,917
Maybe you’re a dealer too.

804
01:06:12,942  -->  01:06:16,581
- No, sir. He’s a good kid!
- Let’s go.

805
01:06:18,855  -->  01:06:20,016
Jun?

806
01:06:21,301  -->  01:06:22,385
Sir?

807
01:06:30,364  -->  01:06:35,189
I know Jun is a user
but I didn't know he's selling too.

808
01:06:35,214  -->  01:06:37,083
They found half a kilo.

809
01:06:37,108  -->  01:06:41,319
That’s enough to put him away
until he rots.

810
01:06:41,430  -->  01:06:44,616
One of his patrons is well connected.
He’ll get out.

811
01:06:48,536  -->  01:06:50,413
Thanks again. You’re the best.

812
01:06:50,438  -->  01:06:53,545
Thank you Sir.

813
01:06:55,417  -->  01:06:59,536
Freeloader.
Just because he’s a cop.

814
01:06:59,826  -->  01:07:02,287
That’s life. Let it go.

815
01:07:02,312  -->  01:07:04,373
Have you ever tried
giving him the bill?

816
01:07:05,748  -->  01:07:08,483
The first time he ate my food,

817
01:07:08,686  -->  01:07:13,225
he smiled at me and nodded.
Then he left.

818
01:07:13,250  -->  01:07:16,006
Shameless.

819
01:07:18,864  -->  01:07:20,376
What if there’s a raid?

820
01:07:20,401  -->  01:07:23,928
Raid what?
Our thoroughly wholesome show?

821
01:07:23,953  -->  01:07:26,049
Putting on a beauty pageant?

822
01:07:26,074  -->  01:07:28,967
Staging a musical with skimpy costumes?
We’re all PG here.

823
01:07:29,084  -->  01:07:30,128
Poor guys?

824
01:07:30,153  -->  01:07:32,697
Parental guidance, stupid.

825
01:07:32,722  -->  01:07:35,308
What are you doing here?
Go inside and put on a show!

826
01:07:35,536  -->  01:07:39,209
I know you’re wondering
why I agreed to Pau’s plan.

827
01:07:39,234  -->  01:07:41,708
We each have our point of view.

828
01:07:43,785  -->  01:07:46,546
You wouldn’t allow it
if you were in my place.

829
01:07:47,824  -->  01:07:51,009
How can one heart be shared equally?

830
01:07:53,316  -->  01:07:56,813
I guess this life has taught me
not to expect my fair share.

831
01:07:58,282  -->  01:08:01,869
How can you be sure
that he’ll go back to you?

832
01:08:03,839  -->  01:08:06,133
Are you a hundred percent sure
with JC?

833
01:08:06,158  -->  01:08:09,527
No, but I’ve learned
to fight for him.

834
01:08:13,709  -->  01:08:16,212
Are you disappointed with me?

835
01:08:16,801  -->  01:08:19,845
No, Josie. I get it.

836
01:08:19,870  -->  01:08:24,167
You’re doing what you think you have to.
We’re the same.

837
01:08:26,355  -->  01:08:29,066
Sometimes I get tired.

838
01:08:30,351  -->  01:08:34,928
I've been holding on to the illusion
that Pau and I can have a normal life.

839
01:08:38,271  -->  01:08:40,944
JC, wait.

840
01:08:41,749  -->  01:08:47,714
I have customers asking about you.

841
01:08:47,739  -->  01:08:52,702
They’ll double the bar fine and you can
name your price, if you’ll do it with them.

842
01:08:53,726  -->  01:08:56,646
Sorry, Mama Chester,
I really don’t want to.

843
01:08:56,671  -->  01:08:58,741
What if it’s a woman?

844
01:08:59,877  -->  01:09:01,302
Still no.

845
01:09:01,327  -->  01:09:05,756
Then why did you do it
with that Liza next door?

846
01:09:05,920  -->  01:09:08,902
She’s just a friend.

847
01:09:08,927  -->  01:09:12,936
Friends with benefits?

848
01:09:13,281  -->  01:09:15,158
- You going onstage tonight?
- Yes, Mama Chester.

849
01:09:15,183  -->  01:09:18,035
You dance so well.

850
01:09:18,060  -->  01:09:21,856
They can’t get enough of you.

851
01:09:21,881  -->  01:09:27,303
Too bad they can only watch,
not taste. Except for Liza.

852
01:09:27,424  -->  01:09:31,827
Mama Chester, how can we help Jun?

853
01:09:35,141  -->  01:09:38,342
Don’t worry about him.
He has connections.

854
01:09:40,465  -->  01:09:42,037
How are you?

855
01:09:42,163  -->  01:09:45,514
- I'm fine.
- That's great. Okay, I'll go ahead.

856
01:09:59,894  -->  01:10:01,150
Liza, wait.

857
01:10:01,791  -->  01:10:02,830
Why?

858
01:10:02,855  -->  01:10:04,957
I’m Maritess, JC’s partner.

859
01:10:04,982  -->  01:10:06,932
So you’re the wife.

860
01:10:06,957  -->  01:10:08,283
We’re not married.

861
01:10:09,055  -->  01:10:11,224
To him, you’re his wife.

862
01:10:12,381  -->  01:10:13,736
You’re not alone.

863
01:10:13,950  -->  01:10:15,117
This is Josie.

864
01:10:15,454  -->  01:10:17,799
Ah, Pau’s wife.

865
01:10:18,870  -->  01:10:20,747
You’re both pretty.

866
01:10:20,970  -->  01:10:22,930
And lucky.
Both your husbands are yummy.

867
01:10:22,955  -->  01:10:26,002
- You bitch!
- Wait! Calm down!

868
01:10:36,023  -->  01:10:37,400
Are you good now?

869
01:10:38,724  -->  01:10:43,354
You got it out of your system.
Now are we good?

870
01:10:44,564  -->  01:10:47,775
JC is mine. Don’t you forget it.

871
01:10:48,776  -->  01:10:53,517
Enough, let’s just go.
Don’t get in a fight.

872
01:10:53,543  -->  01:10:56,282
Don’t worry, Josie.
We won’t make a scene.

873
01:10:57,426  -->  01:11:01,199
Right, Maritess?
Let’s not fight over JC.

874
01:11:01,834  -->  01:11:05,463
I see men as playthings,
just like me.

875
01:11:05,488  -->  01:11:07,846
- We’re not the same.
- Exactly.

876
01:11:07,981  -->  01:11:11,959
You have no reason to fear.
JC and I are done.

877
01:11:12,687  -->  01:11:16,274
I doubt that you and I will be friends.
But let’s not be enemies.

878
01:11:20,343  -->  01:11:25,248
You’re lucky I’m not a drama queen
like other women I know.

879
01:11:27,315  -->  01:11:31,027
I’ll say this for your peace of mind:
JC loves you.

880
01:11:31,572  -->  01:11:34,899
But I won’t be the last woman
who’ll find him attractive.

881
01:11:35,311  -->  01:11:38,648
Let’s hope that next time
he’ll be able to say no.

882
01:11:41,659  -->  01:11:43,009
I have to go.

883
01:11:43,034  -->  01:11:45,611
I have a regular customer waiting.
He’s very generous.

884
01:11:50,796  -->  01:11:52,465
She has a point.

885
01:11:52,780  -->  01:11:54,073
She’s smooth.

886
01:11:54,098  -->  01:11:55,391
Yes.

887
01:11:55,416  -->  01:11:56,709
You wanna be friends
with her, don’t you?

888
01:11:56,734  -->  01:11:58,338
No way.

889
01:11:58,363  -->  01:11:59,723
You're too tough!

890
01:12:02,258  -->  01:12:04,994
So this is what it's like.

891
01:12:05,019  -->  01:12:06,145
There they are.

892
01:12:06,145  -->  01:12:07,603
Hi.

893
01:12:07,773  -->  01:12:10,693
Have a seat.

894
01:12:10,942  -->  01:12:12,610
- Hello.
- Hi.

895
01:12:13,252  -->  01:12:16,908
Mommy, it's been a while.

896
01:12:17,166  -->  01:12:20,635
- This is JC's wife, Maritess.
- Hi.

897
01:12:29,210  -->  01:12:30,795
Wow.

898
01:12:39,165  -->  01:12:40,790
Okay. Thank you.

899
01:12:47,599  -->  01:12:49,729
Wow!

900
01:13:10,362  -->  01:13:14,549
You’re doing well.
This new spot is great.

901
01:13:14,605  -->  01:13:17,977
Thanks to regulars like you.

902
01:13:18,002  -->  01:13:19,283
Is there fried noodles
and blood stew?

903
01:13:19,308  -->  01:13:20,603
Of course!

904
01:13:20,636  -->  01:13:23,127
- Four orders, please.
- Okay.

905
01:13:23,152  -->  01:13:25,838
It’s her first time in a gay bar.

906
01:13:25,863  -->  01:13:28,324
She never had to reason to go to one.
Until now.

907
01:13:29,798  -->  01:13:31,111
Am I a good dancer?

908
01:13:31,175  -->  01:13:34,432
The best.
Seems like you’re the star here.

909
01:13:35,103  -->  01:13:36,361
Of course!

910
01:13:37,574  -->  01:13:40,243
Why does it look like
you all have an erection?

911
01:13:42,285  -->  01:13:46,396
They rub it before going onstage

912
01:13:46,421  -->  01:13:53,338
so they’re always hard
in front of the audience.

913
01:13:53,363  -->  01:13:55,455
That bulge is distracting.

914
01:13:56,625  -->  01:13:59,549
Is there a minimum size requirement?

915
01:14:00,568  -->  01:14:04,525
What’s important is the illusion.
Some use padding.

916
01:14:04,909  -->  01:14:06,718
To excite the audience.

917
01:14:07,783  -->  01:14:09,244
You know a lot about this.

918
01:14:09,269  -->  01:14:15,908
I had the same questions
on my first visit.

919
01:14:15,933  -->  01:14:20,713
But you know more than anyone
that my dick is not an illusion.

920
01:14:20,738  -->  01:14:22,656
It’s the hardest reality.

921
01:14:23,002  -->  01:14:28,245
I only know as much as Allan does.

922
01:14:29,968  -->  01:14:33,080
I don’t know about you,

923
01:14:33,143  -->  01:14:35,704
but I only come here
for the entertainment.

924
01:15:00,626  -->  01:15:02,315
Sleep well?

925
01:15:03,452  -->  01:15:04,817
Are you hungry?

926
01:15:06,483  -->  01:15:10,486
Let’s have a snack.

927
01:15:14,643  -->  01:15:17,062
You are my baby girl.

928
01:15:17,545  -->  01:15:19,522
I confronted Liza.

929
01:15:19,547  -->  01:15:23,801
You just had to, didn’t you?
Good thing there was no hair pulling.

930
01:15:24,091  -->  01:15:25,592
It was a good talk.

931
01:15:25,617  -->  01:15:27,916
I made it clear
that you’re mine alone.

932
01:15:28,076  -->  01:15:33,831
You know I am, completely.
Are you still doubting it?

933
01:15:34,645  -->  01:15:35,771
Prove it.

934
01:15:41,361  -->  01:15:44,029
Bro, Josie, Allan!

935
01:15:44,029  -->  01:15:46,615
Come on, let’s dance!

936
01:15:46,615  -->  01:15:48,325
Come on Allan, let’s dance.

937
01:15:48,350  -->  01:15:51,562
Josie, Allan. Join us!

938
01:15:51,587  -->  01:15:53,931
Okay, wait here, I’ll join them.

939
01:15:53,956  -->  01:15:56,158
Give it your best, hon!

940
01:16:02,006  -->  01:16:05,955
Let’s hear it for Pau!

941
01:16:05,980  -->  01:16:10,142
Show us what you can do!

942
01:16:34,292  -->  01:16:35,502
Josie?

943
01:16:37,158  -->  01:16:38,384
Are you okay?

944
01:16:40,125  -->  01:16:42,665
When are you going back
to America?

945
01:16:45,257  -->  01:16:46,717
Two days from now.

946
01:16:50,150  -->  01:16:52,861
When is Pau going?

947
01:16:55,153  -->  01:17:00,784
His interview with the embassy
is next month.

948
01:17:01,649  -->  01:17:08,107
Once his visa gets approved,
he can fly anytime.

949
01:17:12,570  -->  01:17:13,738
Josie...

950
01:17:15,341  -->  01:17:19,660
Is there something I can do
to ease your worries?

951
01:17:21,366  -->  01:17:24,374
Nothing. I’ll get used it.

952
01:17:29,957  -->  01:17:31,672
Thank you for saying yes.

953
01:17:34,014  -->  01:17:38,012
I don’t know
if I should be jealous or grateful.

954
01:17:48,404  -->  01:17:49,863
Thank you.

955
01:17:53,961  -->  01:17:56,380
I know you will take care of him.

956
01:17:59,833  -->  01:18:02,335
Let’s dance.

957
01:18:03,752  -->  01:18:05,045
Let's go.

958
01:18:09,717  -->  01:18:11,343
Let's go.

959
01:18:11,368  -->  01:18:13,120
Join in!

960
01:18:26,709  -->  01:18:30,171
I texted your brothers,
they’re on their way.

961
01:18:37,314  -->  01:18:40,585
I’ll get going. Take care.

962
01:18:40,770  -->  01:18:43,148
Pau, go with Allan.

963
01:18:43,201  -->  01:18:47,226
I can manage.
Pau needs to rest.

964
01:18:47,798  -->  01:18:49,429
Josie is right.

965
01:18:49,454  -->  01:18:50,997
I’ll bring you home.

966
01:18:51,022  -->  01:18:52,565
- Take care on your way home.
- You too.

967
01:18:52,590  -->  01:18:54,403
- Take care, bro.
- Bye!

968
01:18:54,428  -->  01:18:56,930
Take care, Allan.
Bro, take care of that one.

969
01:18:56,955  -->  01:18:59,458
- Bro, take care of Josie.
- Take care!

970
01:19:24,458  -->  01:19:28,170
We’re closed, there’s no more food—

971
01:19:28,195  -->  01:19:35,750
Hey! What are you doing
to my daughter? Stop that!

972
01:19:55,032  -->  01:19:57,868
Sorry, I ran out of gas.

973
01:20:00,119  -->  01:20:02,931
Bro, that’s stupid.
Gasoline is so basic!

974
01:20:02,956  -->  01:20:04,226
Here's the fare.

975
01:20:04,257  -->  01:20:05,586
Sorry, sir.

976
01:20:05,611  -->  01:20:07,789
- Drop it. We’re only three blocks away.
- Let’s go.

977
01:20:07,814  -->  01:20:09,691
Yeah, let’s walk.

978
01:20:15,827  -->  01:20:19,723
- Balut! Duck egg!
- Boss!

979
01:20:19,794  -->  01:20:21,109
Balut!

980
01:20:21,473  -->  01:20:23,875
- Want some, Boss?
- Let’s buy some for Ma and Queenie.

981
01:21:50,912  -->  01:21:54,000
- Hey!
- Let's go! Hurry!

982
01:21:54,148  -->  01:21:55,400
Hey!

983
01:21:56,764  -->  01:21:58,462
- Ma?
- Queenie?

984
01:21:58,487  -->  01:21:59,662
Ma.

985
01:21:59,687  -->  01:22:02,824
Ma? Ma!

986
01:22:02,824  -->  01:22:04,093
Ma? Ma!

987
01:22:04,118  -->  01:22:05,404
Queenie?

988
01:22:05,429  -->  01:22:06,656
Queenie!

989
01:22:06,721  -->  01:22:11,059
Queenie?

990
01:22:12,511  -->  01:22:17,367
Queenie!
What happened to you?

991
01:22:17,910  -->  01:22:19,537
Ma…

992
01:22:20,194  -->  01:22:22,239
Ma…

993
01:22:23,037  -->  01:22:24,580
Shit!

994
01:22:25,089  -->  01:22:26,250
JC?

995
01:22:26,275  -->  01:22:28,686
Where are you going, JC?

996
01:22:35,711  -->  01:22:41,634
Queenie, my child.

997
01:23:13,984  -->  01:23:15,080
JC!

998
01:23:15,105  -->  01:23:16,547
JC, stop!

999
01:23:16,572  -->  01:23:20,007
- Come out, you sons of bitches!
- Enough, JC…

1000
01:23:20,032  -->  01:23:21,783
Damn you monsters!

1001
01:23:21,808  -->  01:23:22,809
Stop!

1002
01:23:22,834  -->  01:23:25,812
- Damn you!
- Enough.

1003
01:23:26,366  -->  01:23:29,369
JC, get a hold of yourself.

1004
01:23:31,532  -->  01:23:35,672
- Come out and face me! Now!
- JC, please.

1005
01:23:45,385  -->  01:23:48,593
It will take a few weeks
for her wounds to heal.

1006
01:23:48,843  -->  01:23:53,002
The trauma, however,
is more serious.

1007
01:23:53,346  -->  01:23:57,257
Another doctor will guide you through it.

1008
01:23:59,638  -->  01:24:01,144
Thank you, Doc.

1009
01:24:02,968  -->  01:24:07,860
I’ll stay. Why don’t you go home
and get some rest?

1010
01:24:18,517  -->  01:24:20,414
Where are JC and Pau?

1011
01:24:21,146  -->  01:24:23,023
They’re outside, talking to the police.

1012
01:24:23,048  -->  01:24:25,920
We caught Andrei.

1013
01:24:26,069  -->  01:24:28,029
Natan is still on the loose.

1014
01:24:28,632  -->  01:24:31,071
Do you have a lead?

1015
01:24:31,368  -->  01:24:32,828
We’re working on it.

1016
01:24:33,505  -->  01:24:36,109
Sorry about your sister.
I hope she recovers soon.

1017
01:24:36,894  -->  01:24:38,312
Thank you, sir.

1018
01:24:43,847  -->  01:24:45,189
What are we going to do?

1019
01:24:46,282  -->  01:24:48,284
Both of them will pay for this.

1020
01:24:49,582  -->  01:24:51,458
They’ll catch Natan sooner or later.

1021
01:24:53,585  -->  01:24:56,455
I can’t get it out of my head,
how they hurt Ma.

1022
01:24:58,710  -->  01:25:02,122
And what they did to Queenie.

1023
01:25:04,987  -->  01:25:06,812
They might get away with this.

1024
01:25:08,158  -->  01:25:09,326
Relax.

1025
01:25:09,495  -->  01:25:11,357
Don’t do anything
to make things worse.

1026
01:25:18,304  -->  01:25:19,354
Pau...

1027
01:25:29,554  -->  01:25:30,685
Take this.

1028
01:25:32,453  -->  01:25:34,831
A little help.

1029
01:25:35,693  -->  01:25:36,736
Be strong.

1030
01:25:37,831  -->  01:25:39,291
I’m sorry about what happened.

1031
01:25:41,752  -->  01:25:46,173
Heart of darkness

1032
01:26:50,195  -->  01:26:51,822
- How’s it going?
- I’m okay.

1033
01:26:51,822  -->  01:26:54,241
About time you got here.
I’m so hungry.

1034
01:26:54,825  -->  01:26:57,327
- Are they still on the hunt for me?
- You bet.

1035
01:26:57,619  -->  01:26:59,079
So be careful.

1036
01:26:59,265  -->  01:27:02,069
I think you should move
to another hideout.

1037
01:27:05,018  -->  01:27:07,531
We re-open tomorrow.

1038
01:27:07,556  -->  01:27:10,667
I’ll stay here and take care
of Queenie.

1039
01:27:10,952  -->  01:27:12,204
Ma is right.

1040
01:27:12,229  -->  01:27:16,858
It might cheer Queenie up
if she’s at the eatery.

1041
01:27:16,888  -->  01:27:18,039
Love you, Ma.

1042
01:27:18,249  -->  01:27:20,679
Maritess, hand me your sister’s towel.

1043
01:27:20,725  -->  01:27:22,773
My son is extra sweet today.

1044
01:27:22,798  -->  01:27:24,354
I’m always sweet.

1045
01:27:24,429  -->  01:27:31,421
That’s because you were still breastfeeding
when you already had teeth.

1046
01:27:32,617  -->  01:27:38,906
He only stopped
after I rubbed my breasts with chili.

1047
01:27:38,931  -->  01:27:40,057
You’re exaggerating!

1048
01:27:40,139  -->  01:27:45,382
Congrats on the visa, bro.
When’s your flight?

1049
01:27:46,518  -->  01:27:49,664
Allan still has to book it.
He’s looking for the cheapest fare.

1050
01:27:51,101  -->  01:27:52,257
Thanks.

1051
01:27:52,650  -->  01:27:54,554
Exactly bro!

1052
01:27:54,579  -->  01:27:56,514
By some miracle,
I was released from jail.

1053
01:27:56,539  -->  01:27:58,238
Welcome back, bro.

1054
01:27:58,263  -->  01:28:00,825
JC...

1055
01:28:00,850  -->  01:28:02,602
I bet you missed me.

1056
01:28:02,699  -->  01:28:04,015
How are you?

1057
01:28:04,040  -->  01:28:05,458
How long were you in jail?

1058
01:28:05,537  -->  01:28:07,372
A few days.

1059
01:28:07,397  -->  01:28:10,359
And then I went to paradise to rest.

1060
01:28:10,761  -->  01:28:11,971
Wait a second.

1061
01:28:12,694  -->  01:28:13,945
Who bailed you out?

1062
01:28:14,237  -->  01:28:16,197
I have the right connections.

1063
01:28:16,222  -->  01:28:18,324
Let’s drink!

1064
01:28:18,366  -->  01:28:20,427
Drinks on me later.
It’ll be your sendoff.

1065
01:28:20,452  -->  01:28:22,662
My treat.
Anyway you’re leaving soon.

1066
01:28:22,687  -->  01:28:24,856
- You’re the man!
- Right? Drinks!

1067
01:28:31,671  -->  01:28:32,797
Where’s JC?

1068
01:28:32,822  -->  01:28:34,914
Backstage, maybe.

1069
01:28:57,559  -->  01:28:59,519
Ma, this is for you.

1070
01:28:59,944  -->  01:29:05,825
Pau wants you to have this so you can pay
for the rest of your shop space.

1071
01:29:06,873  -->  01:29:08,031
Keep it…

1072
01:29:08,056  -->  01:29:12,570
He might need this for his trip.

1073
01:29:12,595  -->  01:29:15,557
Allan will take care of the trip.

1074
01:29:16,710  -->  01:29:21,006
What about our property back home?

1075
01:29:22,067  -->  01:29:27,490
Pau will save up for the property
once he starts working in America.

1076
01:29:33,634  -->  01:29:35,094
A little extra.

1077
01:29:38,399  -->  01:29:40,193
Love you, Ma.

1078
01:29:44,661  -->  01:29:46,740
Thank you.

1079
01:29:51,620  -->  01:29:56,458
I want to be happy for Pau.

1080
01:29:59,652  -->  01:30:05,718
I want to think that
this is the start of a better life for him.

1081
01:30:11,184  -->  01:30:13,683
But I might never see him again.

1082
01:30:19,455  -->  01:30:22,709
JC was away for years.

1083
01:30:28,021  -->  01:30:32,066
And now it’s his brother
that’s leaving.

1084
01:30:50,654  -->  01:30:52,405
You asshole!

1085
01:30:52,430  -->  01:30:55,517
That was my sister,
you piece of shit!

1086
01:31:43,860  -->  01:31:45,083
Hello JC?

1087
01:32:00,839  -->  01:32:01,881
Josie!

1088
01:32:01,929  -->  01:32:03,007
Is JC here?

1089
01:32:03,463  -->  01:32:04,554
What’s going on?

1090
01:32:05,110  -->  01:32:06,146
Why, Pau?

1091
01:32:06,447  -->  01:32:08,195
What happened?

1092
01:32:08,220  -->  01:32:09,263
Ma.

1093
01:32:09,364  -->  01:32:11,407
He’s not at the bar.

1094
01:32:11,432  -->  01:32:12,934
I don’t know where JC is.

1095
01:32:13,552  -->  01:32:14,888
Where’s Maritess?

1096
01:32:15,453  -->  01:32:16,788
- Get Maritess.
- Ma.

1097
01:32:16,813  -->  01:32:18,328
Ma, it’s about JC…

1098
01:32:18,353  -->  01:32:19,390
Tell me.

1099
01:32:19,909  -->  01:32:22,270
- JC, he…
- I said tell me!

1100
01:32:32,796  -->  01:32:33,939
JC.

1101
01:32:35,290  -->  01:32:36,332
JC.

1102
01:32:44,478  -->  01:32:48,338
- I’m sorry. I couldn’t help it.
- I understand.

1103
01:32:49,968  -->  01:32:53,656
- We need to leave.
- No. You stay.

1104
01:32:59,527  -->  01:33:02,143
You need me.

1105
01:33:02,882  -->  01:33:05,272
I’m going with you.

1106
01:33:59,669  -->  01:34:02,901
Are you having second thoughts about
leaving because of what happened?

1107
01:34:03,706  -->  01:34:08,001
Shouldn’t it be the other way around?
We need to get out of here.

1108
01:34:11,640  -->  01:34:16,478
As long as we’re poor,
the problems will not end.

1109
01:34:17,245  -->  01:34:22,181
If we were better off, that wouldn’t
have happened to Ma and Queenie.

1110
01:34:24,675  -->  01:34:26,885
JC would be here, safe.

1111
01:34:28,129  -->  01:34:31,340
America’s our last chance.

1112
01:34:34,557  -->  01:34:36,767
If that’s what you believe...

1113
01:34:38,234  -->  01:34:39,903
I’m with you.

1114
01:34:41,237  -->  01:34:42,577
I know you will.

1115
01:34:43,232  -->  01:34:45,651
Don’t worry.

1116
01:34:46,713  -->  01:34:48,548
I’ll take care of them.

1117
01:34:49,768  -->  01:34:53,855
It breaks my heart to know
that JC needs me...

1118
01:34:54,588  -->  01:34:57,676
- I can’t do anything to help him.
- I know.

1119
01:34:59,769  -->  01:35:00,979
Money.

1120
01:35:02,222  -->  01:35:04,724
I will save lots of money for him.

1121
01:35:05,982  -->  01:35:08,901
We can’t do anything for him right now.

1122
01:35:10,290  -->  01:35:11,500
Thank you.

1123
01:35:16,366  -->  01:35:17,659
I love you.

1124
01:35:18,671  -->  01:35:21,616
In a few years,
our lives will be better.

1125
01:35:23,420  -->  01:35:24,929
What now?

1126
01:35:25,835  -->  01:35:27,462
I’m not turning myself in.

1127
01:35:27,758  -->  01:35:30,678
That’s why we should leave.

1128
01:35:33,071  -->  01:35:34,698
Listen to me. I’m begging you.

1129
01:35:36,809  -->  01:35:39,561
Please stay so you can help Ma.

1130
01:35:40,915  -->  01:35:42,500
Pau is leaving.

1131
01:35:43,224  -->  01:35:44,600
You’re strong.

1132
01:35:45,187  -->  01:35:46,846
They need you.

1133
01:35:46,871  -->  01:35:48,726
You need me.

1134
01:35:51,744  -->  01:35:53,460
I can manage by myself.

1135
01:35:53,485  -->  01:35:55,946
I’m scared for you.

1136
01:35:59,494  -->  01:36:00,995
Me too.

1137
01:36:06,793  -->  01:36:09,629
For the first time,
I will live on my own.

1138
01:36:11,197  -->  01:36:13,407
I need to do this.

1139
01:36:15,444  -->  01:36:17,404
So I can change.

1140
01:36:18,241  -->  01:36:19,925
So I can be a better man.

1141
01:36:22,263  -->  01:36:24,223
I hope you’ll understand.

1142
01:36:29,531  -->  01:36:31,275
Don’t cry.

1143
01:36:31,893  -->  01:36:33,382
Don’t cry.

1144
01:36:35,169  -->  01:36:37,671
I might not have the strength I need.

1145
01:36:40,785  -->  01:36:43,579
I can hold it in.

1146
01:36:45,415  -->  01:36:47,554
I love you very much.

1147
01:36:50,696  -->  01:36:54,399
- I love you very much too.
- Take care of yourself.

1148
01:36:54,424  -->  01:36:55,515
You too.

1149
01:36:57,176  -->  01:36:59,053
I’ll be in touch.

1150
01:36:59,839  -->  01:37:02,050
I’ll be the one to contact you.

1151
01:37:57,128  -->  01:37:59,312
It isn't easy to say goodbye
to your loved one,

1152
01:37:59,337  -->  01:38:02,086
especially if you might
never see them again.

1153
01:38:04,534  -->  01:38:06,906
My heart is in a lot of pain.

1154
01:38:07,932  -->  01:38:09,767
But JC is right.

1155
01:38:10,470  -->  01:38:12,430
I mustn’t cry.

1156
01:38:13,893  -->  01:38:18,251
There is no place for tears if I am
to survive this war called life.

1157
01:38:23,683  -->  01:38:25,476
I will be strong.

1158
01:38:26,898  -->  01:38:28,900
I will get up when I fall.

1159
01:38:29,102  -->  01:38:31,271
I will heal when I am injured.

1160
01:38:31,592  -->  01:38:36,898
When I feel weak, I will find strength
in the love of those around me.

1161
01:38:37,245  -->  01:38:38,813
I love JC.

1162
01:38:39,163  -->  01:38:41,666
His family is my family.

1163
01:38:42,070  -->  01:38:47,117
Like my father before me, I will
protect my territory to the very end.

1164
01:38:51,650  -->  01:38:52,734
Ma.

1165
01:38:53,669  -->  01:38:54,859
I love you.

1166
01:38:54,884  -->  01:38:56,218
I’ll miss you.

1167
01:39:16,987  -->  01:39:18,947
Take care of yourself, son!

1168
01:39:58,664  -->  01:40:00,500
Hello, Allan?

1169
01:40:00,930  -->  01:40:02,100
Hello Pau?

1170
01:40:03,250  -->  01:40:05,196
Are you on your way
to the airport?

1171
01:40:24,548  -->  01:40:25,668
Ma!

1172
01:40:28,228  -->  01:40:29,229
Pau?

1173
01:40:41,352  -->  01:40:43,587
What happened?

1174
01:40:45,317  -->  01:40:48,946
I’m sorry, Allan.
I’m not going.

1175
01:40:50,052  -->  01:40:52,304
My family needs me.

1176
01:40:56,207  -->  01:40:58,000
I owe you.

1177
01:40:59,149  -->  01:41:01,110
You’ve spent a lot of money on this.

1178
01:41:02,458  -->  01:41:05,985
And I might have given you more problems
because of my decision.

1179
01:41:08,257  -->  01:41:11,218
I’m already too much of a burden—

1180
01:41:12,193  -->  01:41:13,778
Drop me, I’ll understand.

1181
01:41:16,938  -->  01:41:18,082
Allan.

1182
01:41:19,290  -->  01:41:20,439
Are you crying?

1183
01:41:21,329  -->  01:41:22,549
Pau.

1184
01:41:25,366  -->  01:41:27,565
This is not the end, okay?

1185
01:41:28,449  -->  01:41:33,862
We will keep finding a way
to help your family.

1186
01:41:36,609  -->  01:41:37,777
Thank you.

1187
01:41:40,711  -->  01:41:42,171
I love you.

1188
01:41:45,388  -->  01:41:47,432
Take care of yourself.

1189
01:41:54,140  -->  01:41:56,826
Change of plans.

1190
01:41:56,851  -->  01:42:00,604
America’s not going anywhere.
It can wait.
