Here it is!

- Give it to me. - There it is.

Why is there no signal?

We’re out of time.

If they can’t take pictures of the exams,

I’ll do it myself and find a way.

Looks like something was forgotten.

Out of all things, you forget the breaker?

You have to stall another 20 minutes.

I’ll find the questionnaires and that’s what we’ll pull out.

What now, Pat?

I’m done.

Just give me the go signal.

One sec, Kuya Jerry.

Bank’s not back yet.

We have to wait.

Turn it on!

Power’s back on.

But they aren't out yet.

It's my first day as a trainee.

So I felt pressured.

I got anxious.

What happened to you?

We got blocked by the guard.

The phone was fucking on me the whole time!

it was in my pocket but I thought, I thought he saw it!

Yes!

Don't bother me, let's go!

Okay, got it.

Okay.

Bro, I still don't get it.

The guard felt the phone in my pocket

but he still let me go.

How did that happen?

Bank,

did you do something that wasn't part of our plan?

Nothing.

Bank,

I saw you and the guard exchange looks.

Is that true?

Do you know the guard, Bank?

Yes already!

I paid the guard so he would let me in

and I paid him big so he would let us out too.

That was plan B.

Guys, there's something wrong with the answers.

Don't look at me like that.

Because if I didn’t do that, we would’ve been caught.

Lin, listen.

Guys.

Guys!

There is something wrong with the answers.

Okay, look.

We are missing one, two, three,

six more items.

Right, this should be thirty items.

Bank.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

I remembered it.

B.

Okay, B.

D.

D.

C.

A.

A.

B.

C.

Bank?

That's seven letters!

We’re missing six!

Then just remove one if it’s extra!

What do you mean remove one?!

Bank, you think you're smart, huh?

Okay then.

You memorized the whole thing, right?

Enumerate everything again!

We’ll just double-check!

Don’t you trust me?

This isn’t about trust!

You’ve done things we didn’t know about!

Didn’t you think?

How would we know if you’re still hiding something from us, Bank?!

How?!

So come on, please!

Come on!

Let’s just double-check the answers you remembered!

You’re the only one who saw the questionnaire, Bank.

Only you!

D.

B.

B.

C.

A.

A.

B.

C.

Oh, Bank!

Did you really memorize it?!

Huh?!

Did you memorize it?!

The first answer is already wrong!

Bro, think harder!

Concentrate, Bank!

Forget it!

We’re just fooling ourselves!

Bank has photographic memory.

If he can’t recite the answers,

maybe he didn’t really answer at all.

- Bank? - Okay!

There's too many!

I ran out of time to answer the exam.

So I just made up all the answers.

- Are you fucking serious, Bank? - Bank?

No, no, no, no, no.

Holy shit!

Why did you lie to us, Bank?!

Why?

Huh?

Look.

Okay.

Let’s call Miss Maya while it’s still early

tell her we didn’t get the questionnaire and all will be well.

- We'll return the money and... - Return what?!

Don’t do that!

Lin!

All our hard work will go to waste.

Think of this.

We’re in a win-win situation here.

- We’ll give them the answers. - What the?!

We’ll get our money.

Done!

You’ll give out random answers?!

Huh?

We already cheated on the exam!

Now, we're gonna scam our clients too?!

Lin!

What’s that?

Listen to me.

They’re already rich.

Fifty thousand Pesos is just a loose change to them.

Think of how we’ll get our money back?

Okay.

Alright, Bank.

But maybe you didn’t think about the future of the 800 students

who are relying on us!

How?

Huh?

They’ll fail!

Then let them fail, Lin!

They wanted to cheat, right?

They should accept the fact that they'll be cheated too.

What happened to you?

Huh?

Since when have you been like this?

Been what?

Become a bad person?

Unlike you, Lin, you won’t lose anything.

Whatever the result is, you can still study abroad,

both of you!

You can also study abroad!

Right?

Bank!

That has nothing to do with this!

What do you mean nothing, Lin?!

Think about it!

If you have no money, if you can’t study anymore,

if you have no future,

if all of this, you’re just holding onto a knife’s edge, think about it.

Let’s think about this, let’s think—

Will you think of other people?

Or will I just think of myself?

Holy shit, wait.

Let's not all act clean here.

We all need money.

Maybe I need it more than you guys.

But my plan already failed.

My plan failed and I don't want everything I built for three months to go to waste.

Everything I worked hard for us to be here.

I don’t want it to be ruined.

Wait.

You said,

you worked hard to bring us together?

You know after graduation, Grace and I are going to Boston?

You’re taking so long.

Sorry, boss.

We almost got into an accident.

I didn’t mean it.

Yes, I paid them to mess up your shop.

But I didn’t tell them to hurt your mom.

I just want you to help us.

Well, it already happened, right?

But she’s fine!

You already got your 500k.

If you want, I'll give you half of my share.

Idiot!

Not everything can be solved with money!

- Bank. - Bank, we’re desperate.

If all this didn’t happen, you wouldn’t have said yes.

Just remember, Pat. I’m telling you.

I'll give all this back to you.

Were you the one who leaked the STIC?

Huh?

Come on, Tristan.

It’s over.

There’s nothing we can do anymore.

Sorry, Mom.

I just wanted you to proceed with the surgery.

Tristan.

Maybe not this way.

All your hard work was wasted.

Such a waste.

No, Mom.

I’ll make it up.

I’ll still give you a good life.

No matter what happens.

Let's go.

Your father tells me that you almost got a perfect score at the STIC.

So do you have any advice, to inspire other students?

I guess you just gotta put in the work

and do whatever it takes to make it to the top.

You must be very proud of Pat.

Oh, yeah.

Very, very proud.

The STIC results are in.

Yup.

She’s in the top percentile.

Ah, Grace.

We’re very proud of you.

All of us. Hmm.

Good job, Grace.

Okay?

Keep it up.

Thanks, Dad.

It was nothing.

Really.

This can’t be.

They all got what they want except me.

It was declared by the universities

that all STIC results coming from this round are automatically invalid.

The Education Commission continues to investigate

the cheating scandal and those involved in it.

Huh, Bank?!

- Were you the one who snitched? - Yes! Yes!

Yes, Pat!

I’m the one responsible for all of that.

But what's the difference between what I did and what you did to me?

Huh?

- You bastard, Bank! Huh! - Stop! Enough!

- Huh?! - Let go of me!

- Enough! - What?!

Do you understand now, Pat?

Now you know the feeling of having no other option but to cheat.

Huh?

You know what, Pat?

You’re already free from your father.

And me,

money is the replacement for everything that was taken from me.

You needed me at the STIC back then.

And I need you here at the NCET, Pat.

That’s why you have no other choice but to go with me

until the end just like how I went with you back then, right?

What?

Who else wants to continue this?

Let’s vote!

Bank!

Bank!

No!

No!

Grace!

What?

So, Pat?

Whatever Pat says.

You’re embarrassing!

You were even arrogant in the interview!

My god!

I gave you everything you needed, all your luxuries

I indulged you and this is what I get in return?

Dad, I'm trying my best.

But honestly, I don’t want to go to BU.

I’m already struggling with your expectations.

I could...

I could never be like you.

No.

But you are a Tioseco.

And you will graduate from Boston University.

You will retake the STIC and get,

by studying, the high marks that you got before.

Or else...

Or else you’ll do what, Dad?

No matter what I do, I am never enough for you.

You silly, stupid boy.

You are nothing without me.

Everything you have came from me,

don’t you ever forget that.

Well, I’m done living off with you.

I can do it on my own.

Cut me off, throw me off.

I don’t care anymore.

Well, neither do I.

See if you can survive without me.

Go ahead.

Go ahead and fail!

Grace, print the answers.

Pat!

Lin, I don’t want to go back to my dad.

So we’re going to continue this.

Hon.

Print it now, quick!

Sis,

Sis!

I'm sorry, Lin.

Yup.

I have to stand by Pat.

- Okay, Grace. - Okay.

If that's your final decision,

I have nothing to do with this.

I get it.

I get it.

Okay, Grace.

Just remove one letter then print it.

Go ahead.

Lin.

Just play along.

You won’t lose anything.

Just turn a blind eye to this, Lin.

Let's go, Grace.

Okay, I'll go.

- I'll print now. - Come on, let's print it.

Lin!

Where have you been?

Why are you only coming home now?

I'm so sorry, Dad.

I'm so sorry.

I'll tell you everything.

But I hope...

I hope to ask something from you.

What is it?

I hope you’ll come with me to the Educational Commission.

They need to know something important.

Okay.

I'm sorry, Dad.

I hope you won’t be mad.

I'm sorry, Dad.

It's okay.

- I'm so sorry. - It's okay.

I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to.

It's okay.

Lin.

It's okay.

I'm sorry, Dad.

Chaos ensued at several testing sites this morning

when a sudden halt

to the National College Entrance Test was ordered,

due to the revelation of a leakage in the test questions.

According to the Education Commission,

a 17-year-old student

let’s hide under the name Angel, voluntarily reported

that she and three of her friends

attempted to steal the NCET questionnaire

and sell it to some clients for 50,000 pesos.

What?

This can't be happening.

What do we do, Grace?

We should've just listened to Lin.

We should've just stopped and returned the money.

Cops.

Wait.

We don't know yet.

We'll just deny everything.

I'll do the talking, okay?

Dad?

How did you find me?

That's really not important.

I need to have a word with my son.

You’d better just go home, Grace.

The driver will take you.

No.

Grace stays here.

Tell me what you want to say in front of her.

Alright.

I've made all the arrangements.

You're going to the US.

You'll study there.

And we have to leave now.

Your flight's in four hours.

And as for this scandal,

I'll take care of it

like I always do whenever you mess around.

What?

And we have no time to dwell on your stupid mistakes.

No.

What about Grace?

It’s better if you break up.

What?

Grace and I can’t break up, Dad.

And what?

You're going to stay here with her

and when you’re jailed, you think you’ll be together in one cell?

Jesus.

Dad, please.

I'm begging you.

Please help Grace too.

We'll be together.

I'll do anything.

I won’t rebel anymore.

Please, Dad.

A federal lawyer.

A good one.

But you can’t be together anymore.

Aside from her father not allowing it,

all you do is bring trouble and problems.

You never learned from what you did.

You wanna help her?

Just obey.

I'll wait for you in the car.

Hon.

I'm sorry.

I don't wanna leave you.

I'm gonna miss you.

It's okay, Hon.

You know, maybe your dad is right.

We'll just call and I'll video chat you.

And maybe if my dad lets me, I'll just visit you there.

I love you so much.

I love you.

Good bye.

That's him.

- That's him, alright. - There.

Tristan Bangkat.

We have a warrant of arrest for you.

Uh, what is this?

Why?

Your son has a case.

Case?

Huh?

Tristan, you have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used for or against you in court.

You also have the right to get your own lawyer.

- And if you can’t afford one, - Wait a moment.

- the government will provide one. - Please wait.

- Do you understand your rights? - Please wait.

Please wait.

Hold on a second.

- What did you do? - Sorry, Mom.

Sorry, Mom.

Don't worry, Tristan.

Tristan, I’ll get a good lawyer.

I won’t abandon you.

Remember that.

I’m right here.

Come on now, come with us.

- Please wait. - Mom, don’t leave me.

Come now, come with us.

Come now, come on!

- Mom! - Wait! Wait!

Mom!

Mom, no! Come with me!

Mom!

- Mom! - Come now!

All test scores will be voided

and a new round of the NCET will be conducted next month.

Two more have been arrested

for cheating in the NCET exams.

A former professor, identified as Maya Salinas

was the clients' contact in the cheating scandal.

Her license will be revoked and her tutorial center will be shut down.

An investigation was also conducted

among the employees working at DL Printing

because of the NCET exam scandal.

It was also decided in the fiscal’s preliminary investigation

that alias "Angel" and alias "Baby"

will both be acquitted due to lack of intent in their cases

and also because of their clean criminal records.

I'm sorry this happened to you.

I should've apologized too.

You know,

I should've just listened to you.

I shouldn't have printed those answers

and I should've just stopped it right there.

It's okay.

You know,

when the cops came,

I thought I was going to be scared.

But honestly, for some reason,

I felt like a weight had been lifted off of my chest.

I don't have to lie anymore.

I don't have to pretend anymore.

Thank you, Attorney.

Grace.

Didn’t I tell you

to stay away from her?

Sis.

Let’s go.

Attorney.

I’ll always visit you.

The alleged mastermind of the cheating scandal

hidden under the alias "Charles"

will be detained in a Youth Detention Center for a year

due to his previous case of cheating in the last STIC.

Dad.

I brought you modules

so you'll stay updated with the lessons even if you’re not in school.

Thank you, Dad.

Do you have any problems?

You look sad.

Nothing, Dad.

I just feel guilty because you're still kind to me

even though I'm a bad daughter to you.

I keep on disappointing you.

Is that so?

I think, maybe...

maybe I should be

more disappointed to myself.

You know, Lin,

I knew nothing about being a father

before you came.

So maybe

I was the one lacking,

maybe I didn’t even know

how to truly raise you properly.

But

don’t you ever say,

that you’re a disappointment to me. Because you’re not.

I even admire you.

You’re not just smart.

You make mistakes, yes.

But,

you know in your heart what's right to fix yourself.

You still choose to do what’s right.

And because of that,

you’re a blessing to me.

I’m proud of you.

No, Dad.

Have you ever had a student like that?

Which one,

the proper, decent, smart one?

I don’t know, maybe.

The only thing I can do as a teacher...

is my best,

hoping that someday, one of those kids will learn something from me.

Even if

I don't personally see their growth,

it doesn't matter to me anymore.

The best student of my life is right here by my side.

That’s you.

Thank you, Dad.

Love you, Dad.

I love you, Linlin.

Don’t be sad anymore, okay?

Thanks again.

Don’t mention it.

Hi.

I hope that the auditorium

gets done in time for your batch's graduation

You know,

I genuinely thought

either you or Tristan would be valedictorian of your class.

As it turns out,

in the history of Possenti, the top

students

were also the ones who did the most shameful act they could possibly do.

Maybe in the next tournament,

Possenti might also make it to the championship

if Lin plays.

That is if you'll give her a chance

to be a scholar of Possenti.

Well, that's asking for too much, Vin.

I know.

That’s why I’m thankful you came so you could witness Lin.

that she could be the student to win

all of your academic competitions

if you give her a chance.

You're right.

I mean, she's highly intelligent.

I would like to ask for your forgiveness.

I'm truly sorry for everything that happened.

You could expel me, but...

you didn't.

Right.

You should also be punished like what happened to Tristan.

But,

you have shown remorse.

You surrendered to the authorities.

Which brings me to my point.

I think, you don’t need to leave Possenti.

But I need your help.

What is that?

This year,

applications opened

for Alami-Khatib Scholarship.

This only happens every two years

for applicants.

In my opinion, this is the most difficult scholarship

compared to all.

You will be competing against students from all over Southeast Asia.

And,

Lin, I think you’re the only one who can win this

in the whole school.

I thought I made the right choice.

But was my choice right for everyone?

Maybe we can ask Grace's family for donations.

Don't they own a chain of printing presses?

Right.

Ask her Dad if he can sponsor us.

Hi, man.

If you need help with your report,

you can just pay a guy, to write it for you.

I know someone.

You want his number?

I know what you're thinking.

Lin, you know what?

This is just how the system is.

This is how the world works.

If you win this scholarship, you get to go to school here.

And next year, your dreams of going to school abroad,

will come true.

I've made my final decision just now.

One of us should be able to get in there.

Maybe it takes

a good cheater to redesign a system without poverty and corruption.

The decision is yours, Bank.
