Mister?

Do you know where this is?

Around there.

- Thank you. - Alright.

Thirty-three... Thirty-five...

Thirty-six.

- Good afternoon. - Yes?

Is this Quito's residence?

Quito Gomez?

Who are you?

I'm Ariel, his cousin.

- Is he there? - Oh, it's you!

Come inside.

You know... He's been expecting you since morning.

Go. Come in.

Let's go.

Through here.

Quito is inside.

He's coming out in a bit.

Do you want me to bring your things to your room?

No, I'll do it. It's okay.

Is he still asleep?

Yes...

It's just that...

He got home at 8AM today.

Because he was moved to the night shift recently.

But he's coming out soon.

Hey, Ariel!

You said you'd get here in the morning!

I waited for you, you know...

My flight got delayed.

Too many people in the airport.

And I couldn't find a taxi anywhere.

I'm sorry I didn't get to fetch you.

You know how it is, I have work.

That's okay.

I'm worried I might be a burden by staying here.

Hey. Don't worry about it.

Have you had breakfast already?

Breakfast?

It's three in the afternoon!

You know what, Ariel?

In my line of work, there's no set time for breakfast nor lunch.

If you're hungry...

You eat.

Again... Thank you so much.

For letting me stay here.

Don't worry about it.

Mama was actually concerned...

If I was getting in your way, too.

Especially since

you're working pretty late at the call center.

You get used to it, bro.

Honestly, I simply turn my days into my nights.

And my nights...

into my days.

But... Are you sure, though?

It's really okay that I stay here with you?

Of course!

I'm alone here most of the time, anyways.

And to be honest with you?

I'm done renting out the other room to another bedspacer.

Because the last asshole that did tried to do my girl.

- Do her? - Yeah.

Who's your girl?

Lilibeth.

Lilibeth?

She lives here, too?

No. She visits sometimes.

I know.

She's your girlfriend, isn't she?

Girlfriend?

More of...

Fuck buddy.

What do you mean "fuck buddy"?

Babes!

My love...

Don't you dare "My love" me, you asshole.

Watch your language.

My cousin's here, you know?

You can show your cousin respect...

But not to me?

Well, bro...

This is Lilibeth.

My Babes.

Screw you.

- Marissa! - Yes?

Give me a cup of coffee!

Ariel, bro...

Can you believe that she studies in an all-girls catholic school?

- What happened? - Nothing.

She showed her natural colors.

Ariel?

Here.

Freshly washed and ironed for you.

You can use these.

No, thank you. I'm fine with these.

I don't use blankets much.

And... It's really hot in here.

Well, the fan works.

You can use it if you want.

Stop!

I already told you, we can't...

- I have a gig tonight. - Come on... Just for a bit.

What was that?

Well... I forgot I left some dishes in the sink.

If you need anything, just call me, okay?

I'll be going, then.

Shit, Quito.

Stop using me as your sex toy.

Go to bed.

Come on. I want you so bad.

Please...

- I'll be quick... - We can't...

Come on...

- Babes? - I'm going to be late.

- What? - Your call time's not until 6 PM.

It's not even four.

I still have to go home and change.

That can wait...

Quito!

Quito, please...

You're wet.

Shit...

Shit!

Well?

You're done?

What about this?

You want it?

You want this?

You need this?

I'll stop it, then.

Stop messing around, Quito.

Don't leave me out to dry.

That's what I'm talking about.

Oh, shit!

So?

- Is it good? - Yes...

Say it.

- Say that it's good! - It's so good.

It's so good!

Is it going to take some time until...

they tell me if I get approved to fly out?

Maybe not.

It took Mike probably around five to six weeks before they told him

that he got accepted for work.

You do have a passport, right?

Yeah. I got one last year in Davao.

You just need to take care of some paperwork

but the company will definitely help you

to make sure everything goes smoothly.

What about you?

When are you going back to Singapore?

Maybe in two months?

I'm still trying to finish up my documents.

And once that's done...

I'm going back.

I hope I get accepted, too.

So, how are you holding up in your cousin's house?

Pretty fine.

Ma'am!

Let me take care of that.

Cedes, can you grab those grocery bags?

Yes, ma'am.

Cedes, I'll let you handle things here.

Okay, ma'am.

Ariel, do you want some sopas?

We had some leftover nilaga from the day before.

So, I thought you might want some with what you're eating.

I'm fine with this, thank you.

Alright, then.

Marissa?

Yes?

Do you know our neighbor in front of the house?

Neighbor?

Who? Mr. Chua?

The woman?

In front of the house?

The woman...

That's probably Ms. Cristy!

Probably so.

Why?

Nothing. Just curious.

Hello?

I'm coming over tonight.

Around what time?

Maybe by nine.

Are you having dinner here?

No. But I'm still coming over.

Ma'am?

This might be yours.

Yes. This is Mama's.

Cedes, Edmund's coming over by 9 PM.

It might be best if you ready his medicine.

And...

- Some coffee. - Sure, ma'am.

Hey...

That looks good.

Do you have more of those?

I didn't know you'd wake up early.

Marissa?

Nothing. Just give me what food we have.

Okay.

I asked Marissa if...

She knows our neighbor next door?

Who?

The hot one?

You know her?

I see her.

But I don't know her.

She's all up there, though.

All up there?

Yeah.

She thinks she's the hottest girl in the block.

Plus... She's somebody's pet already.

A sugar daddy, maybe.

A sponsor.

Wait a minute...

Why are you asking?

Nothing. I just saw her around.

That's a longshot, cuz.

Don't even dream about it.

I told you she already has a sponsor.

And...

You don't want to get in that mess.

I know.

I'll just find you somebody you can play with.

Marissa!

What's taking so long? I'm hungry. Is it ready yet?

Almost.

Hello?

Where are you?

He's coming over tonight.

Ariel?

Ariel...

I'm heading out.

Can you please lock the gate?

It's late. Where are you going?

To my sister in Bulacan.

Bulacan?

Yes. In Sta. Maria.

What time will you get back?

Isn't it dangerous?

I asked permission from Quito.

He already knows that

I'm coming back tomorrow morning.

Sta. Maria is far from here.

Alright then.

Please lock the gate for me.

Just take care, alright?

Yes.

I'll be going, then.

- Okay. Take care. - See you.

Hi, Larry!

Hello! Where are you going?

To my sister's.

- Bye! - Bye!

Good evening, Sir.

Do you want some coffee?

Anything else I can drink?

You still have some alcohol left.

Take out the bottles and some ice.

Okay.

Did you have dinner already?

Yeah. I had a deal with some Chinese men.

I treated them to dinner.

You look tired.

Are you sleeping here?

No.

I don't want Liza to make a fuss.

How about you?

What did you do all day?

As usual. I bought some groceries.

Come here.

You smell good.

Kind of makes me want to eat you out.

That's too much.

Are you sure you don't want to eat?

I'm hungry for other things.

Let's go.

Ed, not there. I don't like that!

Come on.

I told you... Not there.

It hurts.

- No. - It's because you're struggling!

That's why it hurts!

It's almost twelve.

Hey...

I'm leaving.

What's your problem?

When are you coming back?

I'll message you.

Ed, I was hoping if I could tell you something.

Are you in a hurry?

I just need five minutes.

What now?

How much do you need?

How much?

My sister called a while ago..

My Mama needs it for her maintenance.

And my sister's son is sick.

Seriously?

Do I have to provide for your whole family?

Now, it's your sister's son

that I have to spend money on.

Any amount will help, Ed.

Here.

I really hope that

that's enough for your whole family.

Well?

Say thank you.

Thank you.

Louder.

I'm already feeding your family.

And still, you say it in such an ungrateful way.

Just remember this.

You owe me a lot.

Don't even think about crossing me.

You know how angry I can get.

Marissa?

Is that you?

Oh, it's you.

The maid's not here yet?

No.

I thought you let her go to Bulacan?

To her sister?

Right.

Her sister's pregnant.

Somebody needs to look after her.

She hasn't come back yet.

Let her be.

She'll be here later.

And I'll pick a lazy maid over

someone who's untrustworthy.

- I guess... - Alright, then.

- I'm going to sleep. - Alright.

I'll just eat later.

I'm so exhausted.

Well? What took you so long?

So what? Quito knows that I'm sleeping over in Bulacan.

- Fine, just go inside. - Excuse me.

Get out of here already.

The maid might see you.

When are you free?

Don't worry about it. I'll message you.

Don't text. Okay?

We never know. Now go.

They told me that the office in Singapore

has some of your documents already.

But your Transcript of Records, Ariel...

- They still don't have it. - That's important.

The school should be the one handing that out.

Obviously, they haven't handed out anything.

Did you follow up just to make sure?

I thought they already sent it.

Write to them. Call your school.

Don't worry about it. I'll handle it.

Don't be negligent...

If you continue moving in slow-motion,

you will get delayed more.

You're lucky that Dodie's there to help you.

Just remember.

You're only here to prepare for your work in Singapore.

Not for leisure.

I know that.

Cousin is finally here, Quito.

Perfect timing.

Ariel, come.

Why don't you join us?

Ariel...

This is my friend.

Marla.

And Marla...

This is Ariel.

Hi.

What did I tell you? Say thanks to Lilibeth.

She brought you a gift.

A gift?

Yeah!

Beside you.

Marla.

Really? A gift?

Well! That's up to Ariel.

Right, Cuz?

Marla's great.

She's very giving.

Once she sets her eyes on you?

All it takes is a nudge...

For her to give you everything.

- You bitch. - Well? Is Cuz your type?

- He's okay. - This picky bitch!

Have a good look at Cuz!

Does he look like an "Okay" to you?

Can we stop it with the whore talk?

Here, Ariel. Bottoms up.

- What's that? - It's only tequila, bro.

This won't kill you.

Nor blind you. Come on.

Bottoms up!

Bottoms up!

Bottoms up!

Bottoms up!

Bottoms up!

Bottoms...

- Yes, shot! - Cheers!

Your shot, Ariel.

I think I'm getting drunk.

It's so hot...

So strong!

Wow!

No.

- Wow! - That's amazing.

- My turn, okay? - It's your turn.

Oops!

Your shot, girl!

- Take a shot with her, Ariel! - Why don't you take a shot with me?

Come on!

Cheers.

So hot...

Shh!

They'll hear you.

Oh, shit!

Go deeper!

Oh, shit!

You're so good.

Shit...

Oh, shit...

You're so good...

Shit, you're so good!

Shit...

Shit!

Oh my god! Oh, shit!

This bitch Marla.

I didn't know she speaks English when she's horny.

Come on already.

So good!

Keep going!

Shit...

Shit!

You're so good!

Ariel...

What?

I just wanted to tell you something.

Ariel, I was just drunk.

Even now, I still feel wasted...

But honestly, I'm not like this.

What do you mean?

I'm not easy.

Okay.

I only let men do me after the third date.

But I was drunk a while ago.

So...

That's okay.

I understand.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Are you letting anyone inside the house?

No.

Who's going to come here?

I don't know.

That's why I'm asking.

Nobody.

They said it was a man.

A man?

That was probably Eman.

So, I'm right.

Ed... Eman's my brother.

Haven't I told you this already?

What is your brother even doing here?

Didn't I tell you that

I was going to send money to my Mom and Sister?

They didn't have to come here.

You could've just had it delivered to...

How? When I'm not even allowed to go out?

Some people even "report" to you if I buy groceries.

What are you angry about?

I'm just explaining.

Next time...

If you're going to invite your brother here...

You ask permission. Okay?

Are you even listening to what I'm telling you?

Yes, I'm listening.

Why are you crying?

You wanted this, right?

Right?

Louder!

Keep crying!

Shit!

Cristine...

Do you remember what I told you a few weeks ago?

About?

I did some deals...

If everything goes through...

I'll need you to keep it for me.

Deals?

None of your business.

Just keep it for a couple of days.

What am I keeping?

Stop asking too much questions.

Even if you knew...

Your life wouldn't be better for it.

You're the only one I can trust with this.

Okay?

Okay.

Ed... This wouldn't get me in trouble, right?

Do you think I'd put you in that position?

Don't worry.

Just do what I ask.

Your questions will only get you in trouble.

The less you know...

The better.

I'm going.

I need to get home.

Ma'am.

I just really, really need to get home.

Does Ed know?

Did you ask him already?

I tried calling him, but he wouldn't answer.

Who did you call?

Ed, or his assistant?

He's the only person I report to.

"Report"?

He's the only one I talk to

because he's the one who hired me.

Ma'am, it won't be that long.

I just need to take care of my husband.

He lost consciousness a while ago.

My son told me that he probably had a stroke.

Stroke?

Yes.

I need to be with him, please...

Alright. When will you be back?

Once my husband recovers.

Okay. As if I have a choice.

That's your husband.

Thank you, ma'am.

Here are the keys.

Thank you so much.

Why didn't she tell me?

She told me she tried calling you.

You won't answer.

Check your missed calls.

What's going to happen to you, then?

What do you mean, "me"?

You're alone?

I'm used to being alone.

What's the difference?

I'll find you a replacement.

Don't.

What about when Cedes comes back?

She said she won't be long.

Hello, bro?

Still no news on the transcript.

I already emailed the school registrar.

Well? What did they say?

They're still not responding.

Look, you're going to waste your efforts without that transcript.

Whatever.

I'll try calling again.

You should've had prioritized that, honestly.

When's she coming back?

Not long. Maybe three days.

Three days.

That's what she told me.

Okay.

Just don't let anybody else inside the house.

And who am I going to let inside?

Can you stop antagonizing my brother?

You tell me.

Just don't let anybody in.

If you do, you know what's coming.

Hello? Bro?

Julius!

Ariel?

Are you busy?

What's the problem?

Well, our neighbor...

She's asking for help.

Do you know anything about circuit breakers?

Ma'am!

- Hello! - Yes.

- Hello. - Sorry for the hassle.

The lights just blacked out...

I don't know what to do.

Yes...

The breaker's probably broken.

- Do you know anything about electricals? - Ariel does.

Sure.

But...

Do you have tools?

Yeah, inside.

Ma'am?

When is Cedes coming back?

Probably next week.

- Next week. - Thank you again.

No problem.

I'll be going, then.

- Come. Let's go inside. - Let's go.

I'll show you where the circuit breaker is.

Over here.

- Careful. - I'm okay.

What was your name again?

Ariel.

Cristine. My name is Cristine.

Thank God!

Thank you, thank you!

- You're welcome. - I hope it wasn't too much of a bother.

No. I was done with what I'm doing.

I always see you inside your house.

- Are you still studying? - No.

I just graduated in Davao.

I'm only here in Manila because...

I'm applying for work.

Come, have some coffee.

No... I don't really want to intrude.

Intrude? I'm the one that offered!

So, you plan on working in Singapore?

If I'm lucky.

If I get accepted.

And your family is in Davao?

So...

You don't have family here in Manila?

I have one. Quito.

He's my cousin.

He's the son of my uncle from Mom's side.

But...

His parents are abroad, too.

Tell me more.

About what?

About you.

About me?

My life isn't really that interesting.

Come on.

I don't have anyone else to talk to.

I'm so bored.

What do you want to know about me?

Do you have a girlfriend?

Before.

But now? Not anymore?

No.

She has a new boyfriend.

A student in Ateneo de Davao.

- What a bitch. - What did you just say?

Nothing...

Excuse me for a second.

So?

How are you?

I'm touched. You're checking up on me.

You're alone. Right?

Any updates on Cedes? Is she coming back already?

She just left yesterday.

She was going to take care of her husband.

Just take care of yourself.

Don't let anybody inside the house.

Just be alone.

Do you have to say it repeatedly?

Don't break the trust I have in you.

You know what can happen.

- The moment I hear of something... - What?

Ed...

You're overthinking things.

Ed? Honey?

Cong. Rosuello's people are here.

Just a moment! I'm coming!

Know your place, okay?

Remember that.

What were we talking about again?

You seem busy.

That was nothing. Just a friend.

Just checking up on me.

You know...

I've always seen you around here.

But you look unapproachable. You won't even introduce yourself.

Of course not!

I was just shy.

Because you might think that...

That?

Well, at least we know each other now.

We're friends already.

Give me your number.

What are you so scared about?

Or are you still "shy"?

Come on. And give me your phone, too. I'll put mine in.

Come on.

- Again, thank you. - You're welcome.

What did you hear?

That you came home late from the neighbor's house.

Who told you that?

- Marissa? - Yeah.

She told me you helped the neighbor.

Because their fuse needed fixing.

Then... You went home at midnight.

That's true.

Well? And?

We talked. Had coffee.

Shit!

So, you like each other? Or something like that?

We just talked and had coffee.

That doesn't mean anything.

You had sex with her?

You're such an asshole, Quito.

Go on. Keep on denying it.

Deny it some more.

I already told you we just talked and had coffee.

How many gallons of coffee did you drink

that made you go home so late?

Bro...

I'm just looking out for you...

Word is...

She's already somebody's pet.

You told me that already.

Just mind where you put your dick, alright?

The hell!

Fool!

I'm not kidding.

If you're just horny...

There's a lot of women around you can do freely.

Just stay away from women who smell like trouble.

- So? You're done? - Yeah.

I'm just looking out for you.

But it's up to you... That's your call.

You're not young anymore. You can handle yourself.

Also...

Marla asked me to tell you...

If you want a "second serving"...

- She's "eat-all-you-can". - What the...

Let's go, sir.

Let's go.

He followed-up the company's HR.

Tell Mike that I really appreciate it...

If everything goes according to plan?

We're going to live together in Singapore.

You and Mike have been so helpful, bro.

Thank you so much.

Tell me that when we get to Singapore.

And... We're already working on a place we could stay.

Hey.

Why are you staring at those two? You know them?

Is that him?

He and his wife are going out tonight.

He can't come.

What about the thing he told you?

Still nothing.

Let's be patient.

Just make sure he's not going to hurt you.

Cristine: Busy? Want coffee?

I thought you weren't coming.

Did I disturb you?

Not really. It's okay.

Are you busy?

If I'm busy, I'm going to tell you.

Come inside.

I made that.

But I didn't make the dough.

I bought the crust in the Supermarket.

Then, I put in some cheese...

Ground beef, and bell peppers.

Wow.

You're sweet.

That's just a simple dish. Don't be impressed.

Eat.

Here.

For fun.

Go, eat. Don't be shy.

Cristine?

Can I ask you something?

What is it?

Who was the guy that was here earlier?

Sorry, if it's too personal.

That's okay.

I already knew you were going to ask about him.

A lot of people have seen already.

That Edmund comes here a lot.

That's Edmund. He takes care of me.

I get it.

No. You don't.

There are things that...

you have to do, even if...

You don't want to.

All my life...

I've always took care of people.

My parents...

My brothers and sisters...

My nephew...

I just want someone to take care of me, too.

Is that so hard?

Let's just talk about you.

Because if we continue with me...

We're just going to cry all night.

Just a while ago...

I saw you.

You were with a guy.

A guy?

- Yeah. - Are you sure that's me?

Yeah.

At Morato.

You went inside a restaurant.

That's my brother, Eman.

Is that so?

That wasn't Edmund.

Let's eat.

Try this one.

That's delicious.

So, how long have you two been together?

Here you go again.

Talking about me again.

I don't have anything else to tell you.

You're lucky, actually...

You're going to Singapore.

You're going to have a new life.

But me?

Why? What about you?

You just don't know.

Aren't you happy together?

It's not about...

The importance of happiness in a relationship.

I'm just doing what I have to do.

Hey. Why are you crying again?

I already told you that we should stop talking about me.

Because...

I suffer too much for the people that I care for.

I just want to be happy.

What about you, Ariel? Are you happy?

Come closer.

One day...

I'm going to break free.

I'm going to get out of here.

If you're unhappy with him already...

Why don't you just leave him?

It's not that easy.

Are you too scared to leave him?

I'm scared of him.

Application for the Safety Deposit Box?

Yes.

Sign it.

Then I'll come with you to the bank.

So you can open the Safety Deposit Box, and...

Deposit the thing.

Why's my name here? Why not yours?

There you go again...

So many questions!

Didn't I just say?

That it won't do you any good?

Just fill the required information up.

If I could only do it...

I would've done so already.

But, there's a lot of questions that...

I don't know the answer to.

Well?

Hurry up.

You're still going to the bank.

Just me?

They can't see me, okay?

You ask too many questions.

Fine.

Talk to the manager.

Her name is Mrs. Gutierrez.

Then show her your application...

For the Safety Deposit Box.

Larry.

Get it, please.

Put that in the Safety Deposit Box.

And be quick. We'll wait for you here.

Do you have the key?

Keep it for now.

I can't take that with me.

When are you going to get that bag?

I'll tell you.

But, for now...

Just leave it in there.

I hope I don't get in trouble for this...

You dare say that?

But you're all smiles when it's for your benefit?

You're pretty selfish, aren't you?

Larry!

What?

Your boss barely comes here anymore.

He's gotten pretty busy.

Then...

Madame's alone in there?

Because Madame Cedes still hasn't come back yet.

She told us that she's only away for a few days.

But until now, she's still in Pangasinan.

Jesus...

That's a lie!

Word is...

Her husband got into an accident.

Of course, she's going to take care of him.

- That's her husband. - Is that so?

- Do you think my boss knows? - Jesus, Larry...

I don't even want to talk about it. But...

It looks like your boss is clueless about so many things.

Really?

Would you stop?

I hate you.

He put it in your name?

Yeah. I even have the key.

Does that mean that you can get what's inside anytime you want?

Didn't you say that it was written in your name?

It's not that easy.

I still need to make sure.

What's your plan?

Don't worry about it. I'll handle it.

Okay. I have to go.

Are we safe here?

Ariel, if I asked you a favor... Would you do it?

If it's doable, why not?

Didn't you tell me, that...

If I wasn't happy... I should leave him?

Yeah. What about it?

If I did that...

Wherever I go...

He's still going to find me.

And I'm afraid of what he might do to me.

Then go somewhere far away.

He won't stop. He'll still find me.

You don't know how much power he has...

With his wealth.

What do you want me to do?

Edmund needs to disappear so I can break free.

What?

I have a plan.

What's that?

Insulin. My mother's medicine.

What do you plan to do with that?

If a person with no diabetes overdoses with this...

The person will die, right?

I can't do this by myself.

Do you know what you're trying to make me do, Cristine?

You're the only one who can help me...

- Where are you going? - I don't know what you want from me.

I already told you.

I can't do it, Cristine.

- He's here. - Wait a bit.

Take a video.

Did you get him?

Did Mike call you in Zoom?

Yeah. He told me...

To prepare the remaining requirements for the work permit.

The company would be sponsoring you, so...

That's not really a problem.

It's really going to happen, Ariel...

I hope it does.

Shut up and come with us.

Who are you?

Do you want this to do the talking?

Go.

Let's go, let's go!

What did I do to you?

Why did you bring me here?

I'm not rich! I don't have any money to give you!

You bastard.

You can't really think, can you?

I don't know if you're just plain stupid...

Or if you're just looking for a quick way to die.

Don't you know who I am?

Don't you know who you crossed, you piece of shit?

Out of all the women in the world...

You decided to mess with what's mine.

You son of a bitch!

You want to steal what's mine?

What are you trying to say?

You're in love with Cristine?

Please don't... I'm sorry!

- Sorry... - This asshole...

Kill him, boss!

Now, you decide to apologize?

Why?

Are you scared of dying?

But you aren't scared of...

having sex with a girl owned by someone else!

What if I blow up that little itchy dick of yours?

Do you think your life is going to be as fun as it used to be?

Please, don't...

Louder!

Cry!

Please, don't...

Cry louder!

Louder!

Cry some more!

This idiot...

This asshole pissed his pants in fear.

Get out.

Hurry up!

Your things.

Didn't I just warn you about this?

Didn't I just tell you to stay away from that woman?

Stop shouting at him.

He's hurt.

When is he going to Singapore?

The more you stay here, the more you get into trouble!

- Bro, I just wanted to help the girl! - Because?

Is it because you wanted to die so badly?

There are so many better ways to kill yourself

than dying at the hands of a psychopath.

- Why? - What do you mean?

Do you think I wouldn't know that you were screwing me over, you whore?

Ed, don't!

You bitch!

Screw you!

Come with me, you whore.

Shit!

Are you going to resist?

Huh?

Huh?

Damn you!

Come here!

Hey... How are you?

I'm doing okay... You?

You rarely come visit anymore...

Maybe you just missed me...

We won't interfere. Shut up, Ariel.

- What if we called the cops? - No!

We won't interfere.

Larry, what was that?

Damn you.

Do you think you can mess around behind my back?

You were a whore when I found you.

And until now, you haven't changed one bit.

Well?

Huh?

Damn you.

You really screwed me over, didn't you?

Fool.

Stupid bitch.

Ariel...

I was wondering if I could ask if...

you were okay with me visiting my sister again in Sta. Maria?

I was about to ask Quito, but...

I think he's still asleep...

Don't you know the driver of Cristine's boyfriend?

I just know him.

We're not close.

And... He's not my friend.

Anyways... I was wondering if it was okay if I could visit...

I don't care.

- Is it okay? If... - I already told you I don't care.

You can even come back next year if you want.

I still won't care.

Okay.

Cristine: Please let me talk to you. I need your help.

Ariel?

Ariel, are you there?

Ariel, open the gate!

Please!

Ariel!

Ariel, please open the gate!

Ariel!

Are you mad at me?

Let's talk...

Your cousin's not here?

He's at work.

Ariel...

Help me.

Look at what he did to us...

That's why we should stop this...

What about me?

You're the only one who can help me...

Please...

I don't want to jeopardize my work abroad, Cristine...

Promise...

I promise you won't get in trouble.

Please...

Please...

Please.

What are we going to do?

As long as my maid and driver are away...

I can get out.

Are you sure insulin's going to do it?

My Mama...

She's been a diabetic for twenty years.

And she's been injecting insulin for three years.

Her doctor's still reminding her to be careful of the dosage.

Why me?

Why not your brother?

My brother went to Davao.

He was only visiting

the time you saw us.

Because, like you...

He's trying to get his papers to work abroad.

What am I supposed to do?

I'll handle it. I'm going to call you.

Okay, Sir. I'll be going.

Hey...

Come early on Monday.

I have a 10AM in Ortigas.

Okay, Sir.

I'll go ahead.

Is there any food?

I had something delivered.

Any news on Cedes?

Didn't she tell us she'd be gone only a few days?

I messaged her a few days ago.

She told me she might be back on Monday.

"Might".

Still nothing definite.

I told you...

That we should've looked for a replacement.

I'm doing fine here. I'm used to being alone, anyways.

Are you still seeing your little boyfriend?

Boyfriend?

The neighbor.

The kid that you were "playing" with.

Why?

Do I not satisfy you any more?

Damn you.

Enough, Ed...

You still haven't answered my question.

Do you think...

After what you did to him...

He'd still show up here?

Come upstairs with me.

I'll wash those later.

Look who's in the mood.

You missed this?

Hurry up, Ed. Finish that already.

Hello?

Come over now.

Cristine?

Cristine?

Shit, Cristine!

What did you do to him?

Is he dead?

No.

I just gave him some tranquilizer.

Help me.

- How? - Let's carry him.

You pieces of shit!

You little bitch...

You still have some fight in you?

Damn whore...

Screw you...

What the hell did you do?

Get out. Go home.

What about him?

I'm okay.

Just lock the door when you go out.

What about you?

Go. People might see you.

Ariel! Ariel!

- What's happening? - You're still asleep?

It's almost ten! There's a commotion outside.

- Why? - Someone's dead.

The asshole who kidnapped you. Come on.

I just drove for him a few days ago. I literally was just with him.

Now, I find out that...

Him.

He's the guy who knows Cristine.

The guy?

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Apparently, you knew the woman who lived in this house.

Yes, Sir.

When did you last see her, or talked to her?

A little while ago, Sir.

Just last week.

Why, sir? What happened?

We found the man dead inside the room.

- What about the woman? - Gone.

She's not here.

Most of her things are gone with her, too.

Can you come with us?

We just want to ask you a few questions.

Did you get it?

Of course.
