Excuse me, what's that?

Where did you get this?

Espejo, answer me!

It's impossible for him to figure out our signals.

It wasn't me, bro.

I'm not the one you're looking for.

I'm not the one who leaked.

Don't put the blame on me!

But no one’s admitting anything!

What do you want me to do?

Speak nice to them?

We also lied.

We also cheated, right?

Sorry, Lin.

You might not like what you're about to hear, but

I have a feeling Grace is the one who let Kyle copy.

I think you gave Kyle the answers.

You made the cheat sheet.

You gave it to Claire,

she gave it to Baz,

and Baz gave it to Kyle.

Am I right?

Guys,

the cheat sheet came from me.

I'm the one who leaked it.

Tony, please!

Please, I'll make sure that they won't tell any of our

parents or teachers.

The worst that could happen is

that they will just get mad at you.

But once this is all done,

they’ll forget about it.

And Pat and Lin, they won't do anything to you either

because that would implicate them too.

Tony, please.

Please.

Before,

you were just avoiding me.

No matter what I did to get close to you,

you didn’t want me.

But I still hoped that one day,

you would realize how much I care for you.

And you would choose me.

If I do this for you,

will you choose me?

But,

I love Pat.

Then ask him for help.

What do you think I am?

Wait.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Tony, please.

Please, I'll do anything that you want.

Please, I just, I need you to help me.

I’m begging you.

Please.

Please.

Please.

Please help me.

Please.

Anything?

Yes, I promise.

There’s only one thing I want.

Good thing Ms. Briones still believes in me.

Maybe they’re starting to realize I have no link to Kyle.

And they don’t really have any proof against me.

And from the very beginning,

you knew I never had any friends in drama club.

Don’t think about it too much so you don’t get stressed.

What’s important is you’re cleared now.

You’re right.

But you know what, I heard

they’re going to make the next exam stricter

to stop the cheating.

Really?

Honestly,

I still can’t fully understand it.

How could they even stand to cheat?

Maybe they have their personal reasons.

I agree—we shouldn’t tolerate cheating at all.

It’s definitely wrong.

But

maybe we shouldn’t judge the person either.

Maybe they're just trying to survive.

You know, I get your point.

But I don't think survival is an excuse to do something wrong.

Because no matter your reason,

if you're wrong,

you're wrong.

Right?

Looks like it’s not over yet.

Hi, Lin.

Hi, Bank.

Have a seat.

That’ll be done soon.

Okay.

I came here today because the school is considering you two

for a scholarship abroad.

It’s a full scholarship.

And if either of you get chosen,

The scholarship already covers

transportation and accommodation.

But of course, for a scholarship abroad,

there are more requirements.

First, you need to take the STIC examination.

You should also maintain high academic standing

and most importantly,

no behavioral issues.

That's why we thought of you two right away.

Because I know you meet the criteria.

And I know, you both can wing it.

Thank you, Ms. Gonzales.

- Of course, I trust you guys. - Thank you.

Thank you.

You know,

I get it now.

Why Dad wanted to send me here to Possenti.

It's because of this opportunity.

And he knows that I want to study abroad.

So you really want to study abroad?

I do.

How about you?

I'm still unsure about it.

Why?

I realized what career I want to pursue.

I want to be a doctor.

Really?

You know what, you can definitely do that.

Thanks.

So, why do you want to become a doctor?

Maybe it’s because Mom’s sick now.

Also,

I’ve seen what it’s like in public hospitals.

It’s tough when you don’t have money.

And I don’t want to go through again what happened to Dad.

If you don’t mind me asking,

what happened to your dad?

When we were still living in Mindoro, he got sick.

Colon cancer.

Of course, he didn’t want treatment because he didn’t want to spend.

So he hid it from Mom and me.

You know,

he’s just like Mom in that way.

It’s frustrating.

They really are couples.

But eventually, he still went to the hospital.

And in the end, he passed away

because the doctors handling him weren’t good.

But you know,

what really stuck with me was the feeling of being

helpless to do anything for them.

I'm sorry.

What are you saying? It’s okay.

At least now, right?

If I become a doctor here,

Mom will have her own in-house doctor.

She won’t have to wait in long lines at the hospital anymore, right?

Yeah.

How about you?

Why do you want to study abroad?

I want to widen my knowledge and my world.

It’s like—

I enjoy the feeling

of discovering new ideas or experiences I know nothing about.

Then, I study them.

Master them.

So basically, you’re

afraid of being a know-it-all, huh?

You know, sometimes?

Yeah.

Sometimes, I just want to be

oblivious to a lot of things.

So I don’t overthink everything all the time.

Sometimes, I even wonder—

What if,

What if,

I'm not a top student?

Would people still expect the same from me?

Or maybe eventually,

we’d just become a burden to our parents too.

Why?

Aren’t we already?

But look at this.

Someday, you’ll be studying in the States.

Wow, look at you!

Hey, I haven’t even passed yet.

Come on.

I’m sure you’ll pass the scholarship application.

You of all people.

But the thing is,

if you go abroad, we won’t see each other.

Hey, that’s too much.

The Philippines and the U.S.A. are close!

Close?

How does that work?

There, look!

Approximately, five inches.

Right,

super— super close,

Five inches.

Right?

You know,

no matter what happens,

I'll always come back to where I can be more helpful.

I’m short by 160K.

I need more clients.

Wow, Teacher Lin.

Are you going to make this a career or what?

I need 16 or more clients.

Think you can find them?

What?

Chill out.

Not all our classmates are willing to pay anyway.

Did I say it has to be our class?

Grade 11 has 3 other sections but

we need to start finding clients now.

Can you handle that, Pat?

Say less.

I got you.

Of course I can.

Good.

Because

I’ve been thinking that after our final exams,

I want to stop this.

What?

What about next semester?

I don’t know.

Maybe you’ll have to find someone else.

One of the scholarship requirements

is a clean record and no behavioral issues.

And I can’t risk people getting caught because of what we’re doing.

Chill,

you won’t get caught.

I promise you.

Sorry.

You should take that— it might be important.

No, no. It’s okay.

Go ahead.

Look,

I should stop,

and I think we all should stop,

especially after what happened with Kyle.

But it’s hard because

I need money to pay for next sem's tuition.

Okay, so after you get your money this semester,

what about next semester?

What about me and your sis during midterms

and finals next semester?

Don’t guilt trip me.

I already feel guilty about all this, okay?

Look, I just—

I just really need the money right now and

I never really wanted to do this.

But I just have to...

Hon!

Who’s calling you?

That’s been ringing for a while now.

Uhh.

No, it’s nothing.

It’s just drama club, they're just delegating tasks.

I'll just take this really quick.

You know what’s weird?

I’m really good at reading people but when it comes to

my own girlfriend, I can’t tell.

She’s been distant.

I don’t know, man.

Maybe,

there’s another guy.

Hey, I’m just joking.

You’re so serious.

Joke?

Are we even close?

It's not funny.

So you do get jealous.

I thought you were cool and all.

Me?

Jealous?

Never.

You know, there’s nothing wrong with being jealous,

It just means that you really do care for Grace.

The other day when you comforted her when she cried at the auditorium,

I wanted to give you a standing ovation.

I used to think you were just an asshole.

Turns out you’ve actually got a heart.

Wow.

Thanks for not thinking of me as an asshole

'I’ve got a heart', huh.

As if that’s surprising.

Okay, sorry,

I was wrong.

But Pat,

if I ever find out you hurt Grace,

you’re dead to me.

Oh!

Hon!

Hon, there you are.

Where are you going?

I was calling you.

Was your phone off?

I think— I think my phone died.

Sorry.

It's fine.

Looks like a lot of people have been calling you.

Don’t tell me you have another audition.

No.

None.

Okay,

because I’m taking you somewhere later.

Huh?

Where?

You’ll see.

You’ll see.

There you go.

What is this?

Where are we going?

Are you kidnapping me?

You’ll see.

We’re almost there.

Keep going straight.

Turn to the right.

There you go.

Okay.

Can I take my blindfold off now?

I don’t like this feeling.

Yes, you can.

It’s so beautiful.

Happy anniversary, hon.

Oh.

Oh, I’m sorry.

I haven't even prepared anything as big as this.

Don't worry about it.

What matters is,

we’re together, okay?

Here, we can be ourselves.

No pressure from our parents,

school stress,

judgment,

problems.

Just the two of us.

Just the two of us.

Hon,

is there something wrong?

Nothing, nothing.

I just, I appreciate everything.

Are you overwhelmed?

Overwhelmed in a good way.

I feel loved, hon.

You know,

if this is just a dream,

I really hope that I never have to wake up from it.

I can't help but wish that we could just stay in this moment forever.

It feels so perfect.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Hon,

I’m ready.

Hon, are you sure?

Let’s do it. I’m ready.

Are you really sure?

You might just be feeling pressured by all this.

I’m sure.

Hon.

Are you okay?

I’m sorry.

I’m sorry, hon.

It's okay, hon.

Yo fam! Our exams are finally coming up,

So stay focused and good luck to all of us!

Also, apologies for the speaker disturbance but we're already working on it.

Thank you and stay tuned

here with

DJ Ping!

Guys, can we just please focus?

Lin?

Hey, Bank.

How are you?

I’m okay.

Where are you headed?

To you.

Oh, wait— No.

I mean,

not really 'to you'.

I’m on my way somewhere, then...

I saw you, so I walked over,

and...

I wanted to ask you something.

What is it?

Aren’t you with Pat or Grace?

I don’t know, maybe they’re on a date.

You know,

I don’t want to be the national third wheel.

Ah.

That’s all you wanted to ask?

Actually, no.

I have another question.

Are you heading home?

Actually, I was going to print my application form,

But our printer at home is broken.

Then,

the computer rooms are closed too.

I’ll just go somewhere else.

Where do you think there’s one?

Oh, no.

The computer shops around here are far.

You still need to take a tricycle.

You'll hail a ride then find a jeep.

Yeah, right.

Back in my old school,

there were printing shops everywhere.

This place is just too

exclusive.

You want me

to print it for you instead?

There’s a shop right across from us.

I’m already a regular there.

So you won’t have to stay out late.

I’ll give it to you on Monday.

Really?

Of course.

For you, anything.

Wow.

You don’t always have to do that.

Well, we’re friends now, right?

That’s what friends do.

Okay.

Hey,

I see your hand has already healed.

Yeah.

My doctor’s really good.

Who?

You.

Doctor already?

I only put a band-aid on you.

You should be taking care of yourself.

I’ve got this now.

Thank you.

Thanks, Bank.

Now I don’t have to go

to some printing shop outside, right?

Your call has been forwarded

to an automatic voice message system.

At the tone,

please record your message.

Hi, hon.

I know your busy with your audition and all.

And I know you told me not to pick you up

but I just miss you so much.

I'll be coming over.

No signal!

Sir, can I help you?

Ah, sir.

I’m here to pick up my girlfriend.

I dropped her off earlier, but she’s not answering.

The one for the audition?

Sir, what audition?

The one for the softdrinks commercial?

There’s no audition here, sir.

Huh?

But my girlfriend’s here, kuya.

I dropped her off earlier.

Sir, the office is closed right now.

Uh, sorry.

Hon, who's calling you?

That’s been ringing for a while now.

Oh!

Hon!

Hon, there you are.

She’s been distant.

Maybe there’s another guy.

Where have you been?

The auditions are at the other studio.

You're a bit early, Hon.

Hon?

Let’s go.

Hey, Banky.

Hi, Patty.

Patty your face.

Lin.

Hey, Bank.

Oh, here are your copies.

I made three of each, just in case.

So if they ask for extras, you’ll have spares.

Wow!

Very efficient.

Thanks so much, really.

Of course.

And here’s your flash drive.

You might forget it.

Thank you.

I’ll make it up to you.

Promise.

What if we go eat at my favorite tapsilugan after exams?

My treat.

Really?

But what about—

Pat and Grace,

they’re your friends, right?

Oh no, no.

It’ll be just us.

They’ve got somewhere else to be.

Also, I know things between you and Pat are not okay.

Alright.

Let’s just meet at the library first.

Sure, game.

Perfect, I actually have something to tell you.

What is it?

I was going to say—

Nothing, okay?

Nothing.

You said you had something to tell me after exams.

What is it?

Why not now?

Okay, fine.

Let’s just do it after exams.

You’re really going for the suspense, huh?

Just tell me now.

I said later.

What!

Now I’m going to be thinking about it through the whole exams?

If my score drops, it’s on you.

Yo fam!

This is the day! Final exams are waving.

God bless us all.

Our speakers are still under repair,

so expect to hear some unnecessary sounds.

You got this!

So?

See you later?

Let’s meet at the library.

- Bye, Lin. - Bye.

Get one and pass.

You're about to begin your first exam.

After the cheating issue,

we will be stricter.

Anyone caught talking with one another will automatically fail.

When you're finished, leave your papers on my desk.

Your first exam will end strictly

at 11:15.

You guys will be allowed a 15-minute break before the next exam in philosophy,

which begins at exactly 11:30.

You may now start.

You may now start.

I need more clients.

Based on my calculations,

I need a total of three hundred thousand pesos.

My earnings during midterms weren’t enough.

And since this sem is the last time

I’ll be giving you answers.

I still need 160,000.

Lin,

I see you as more than a friend.

I like you.

That’s tough.

It’s hard to find clients willing to pay 20,000 for finals.

That’s why my fee for finals is just 10,000.

So I need at least 16 or more clients to reach my goal.

Can you do that?

But I only see you as a friend, Bank.

Two weeks, different sections.

I think I can do it.

10,000 is a fair rate.

How should I do this?

How should I do this?

Good.

Well, if I'm going to give you more clients,

how are you going to give them the answers?

We’ll be taking the exams at the same time in different classrooms.

I'll give them the answers by taking advantage

of our defective speakers.

Alright, I can handle this.

Okay, here’s how.

I’ll play four different sounds.

They’ll represent A, B, C, and D.

What are you playing?

Piano?

No, it has to be less obvious.

That’s why the sounds I’ll use will seem like they’re just

coming from our broken speakers.

This will be the start signal.

This is A.

This is B.

This is C.

And this one’s D.

It’s fine.

There’s still a second part of the exam.

I’ll gather my courage.

Did she send the code?

Can you not be so loud?

Yeah, she sent it.

Huh?

Why didn’t I hear it?

I had to guess the answer!

You should’ve listened carefully.

Of course, it’s not obvious.

Just remember,

the bounce sound—

that’s the start signal.

The ones after that—

those are the answers.

Get one and pass.

We're about to begin your next exam.

When you're done answering,

you may leave and take your lunch break.

You have 45 minutes.

Time starts now.

You should’ve listened carefully.

If it’s the bounce sound,

that’s the starting signal.

The ones after that,

those are the answers.

Code?

Ah, Ms. Briones, I think

there’s something wrong with the speakers.

Why, what’s the problem?

What I noticed was that it seems like

there are four sounds coming from the speakers.

And I think each one of those four

corresponds to a letter in the answers.

It’s not obvious at first.

But if you really listen carefully.

If you’re done with your exam,

you may leave.

Ms. Briones,

please, just listen one more time.

I even noted that each letter has a different sound.

A sounds like a beep.

Then B sounds like feedback.

C is more like a buzzer.

And D has a cracking sound.

What nonsense is that?

Please, Ms. Briones.

If you don’t stop, I’ll mark your exam as invalid.

I’m sorry, ma’am.

Wait, AV Room.

There's someone in the speaker room during the exams?

Mr. Bangkat.

Someone's using the speakers to give out the answers.

I’ll go look for the key.

What a waste of money.

This is serious.

Bank already knows.

and he even went to the storage room with a teacher.

Do you have any idea

who might be behind this?

Bank, talk to me please.

- Bank. - What now?

They’re taking advantage of us.

Do you notice her new phone?

I gave that to her.

It has a tracking device.

You really believe her when she says she’s going home?

Okay, let’s be rational.

Maybe it’s from a relative or family friend.

I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry.

Grace!

Stop making a fool out of me.

Let me repeat the question.

Who among you is the mastermind behind the cheating?
