Balut! Penoy!

Balut! Penoy!

Balut!

Kid, it’s getting late.

You might get in trouble. Get in.

Good evening, Sir.

I just had to finish a project.

Come on, hop in. Quick.

Get inside.

Hey guys, did you feel that?

What?

Someone’s ego just blew through here!

Lucky you, you landed with the right people.

Miss Universe!

Turn the dial back.

- Turn it back. - Congratulations—

Miss Universe.

Congratulations to Miss Philippines, Gloria Diaz, our first Miss Universe!

- That’s great! - Wow!

- I’m gonna marry her. - But will she marry you?

She’ll have to take a number.

Folks, history seems busy tonight.

More breaking news now, coming in from Houston...

...the latest updates on Apollo 11’s lunar module...

What will they even do there?

...which touched down on the moon early this morning.

Let’s now listen to the words of Commander Neil Armstrong,

the first man to set foot on the lunar surface.

Together with lunar module pilot Buzz Aldrin,

and command module pilot Michael Collins,

Armstrong traveled for four days aboard Apollo 11,

arriving at the historic landing site

known as the Sea of Tranquility.

Are they still up there?

Can’t you see Armstrong?

Where?

Hey!

There, look! There!

He’s floating!

There he goes! And here he comes!

You fool!

"That's one small step for man,

one giant leap for mankind"

Where’s Billy?

Beats me. He should be here by now.

He’s late again.

Have you seen Billy?

- He's not here yet? - Nope.

He’s screwed!

Hurry up.

You didn’t even shower, did you?

Did you sleep?

Sleep? After that "massage"?

He’ll be rolling his eyes back.

Sir.

Men, attention!

Fix your collar.

Button that up.

Meneses, are you playing catch with your flat iron again?

Sir, our iron doesn’t heat up anymore.

Your iron’s not hot, but my head is. Use that.

Button this, too.

Yes, Sir.

Look at your shoes, Ojeda.

Are you waiting for the soles to fall off?

Got no money yet, Sir.

No money?

Or too many extracurriculars?

Sir!

We’re not like you, Sir. We live hand-to-mouth.

And your collar, Ojeda,

it’s gone limp.

Sir,

that’s because it’s been up all night.

Chief already left.

Meeting with the Mayor.

Fix that, okay? When he comes back...

Yes, Ma’am.

Replace those already.

When payday comes, Sir. They’re still fine.

I have some extra cash.

No, Sir, don’t.

I’d rather die than borrow money.

Really, I’m fine.

Ojeda,

shoes either help or hurt your looks.

Yours?

They’re painful to look at.

Come on, Sir!

Here.

Sir Homer, no need.

I’m not taking it.

Hey, it’s a loan.

Pay it back. It’s for my kids’ tuition.

My father always tells me never to borrow money.

Because a debt of gratitude is forever.

- Suit yourself. - I'm good, Sir.

One week of traffic duty on Quirino for you, then.

Here.

- I’ll pay you back right away. - You better.

Thank you, Sir!

Hey, handsome!

Sir, come here.

Sir, come on here.

I'll try all of it.

We have premium girls here! Come on.

Come on here.

Sir. Hello!

Oh my! Sorry.

I love that.

Janette!

Ah, so you have to be Chinese

and have a fancy car.

Makes sense. Good looks don’t matter if your pockets are empty.

What?

Just verifying, Sir.

Good looks, check!

- Knucklehead! - Good looking!

Go work that side of the street.

Plenty of customers there.

Chief, how are you?

We got troublemakers.

They won’t pay. They say they’re cops.

There they are.

Alright.

All yours.

I like this one.

Come on!

No freebies here.

- Even cops pay. Hand it over! - Yes, Sir!

We’ll pay.

We just forgot.

No forgetting next time.

Let's go.

Oh?

I didn’t catch you coming home last night.

I didn't want to wake you.

You were sleeping so well.

I brought you some pancit.

Is it hurting again?

It's from lying down, maybe something’s pinched.

If it gets worse, have it checked.

Mamon! Hurry! Let’s eat.

Enough of that.

- Hey, mind yourselves. - Come eat.

Sit.

Good morning!

Good morning.

Miss Yoly, I have already settled my rent, right?

For the three months?

- Yeah, we’re good. - Thanks.

Sir, we're heading out.

You want some rice?

Good morning, Miss Yoly, Sir Homer.

Betty! Breakfast?

I’m good, Ma'am.

I'll go to my room now.

Okay.

You didn't even say hi.

She might think you have a problem with her job.

I didn't say anything.

Why pick on me?

Eat up.

A little less eyebrow.

What about the jawline?

Looks fine.

Sir, look.

I think we got it.

Have a look.

This is good.

Magtibay! Come look at this, quick.

Sir, you need to see this.

Finally, we’ve put a face to the suspect.

- Huh? - Let's make copies

then send them out to all the stations.

Here.

Yeah.

Idiots!

- Manong! - Hi, Agnes!

- Uncle! - Agnes!

Bless me.

How are you, Agnes?

- That looks delicious! - Hello.

Manong Billy!

Pa.

Bless you.

For the kids.

You didn't have to.

It’s cheap, really.

Your brothers will love this.

Your Aunty Yoly says

you haven’t visited in a while.

I will, right after midterms.

Promise?

Chicken adobo.

My favorite!

Hand me a spoon and fork.

Here you go.

- Pa. - Yes?

I’ve been to UPLB.

Didn’t I say I’d go with you to Los Baños?

That was last Tuesday.

It slipped my mind.

I'm really sorry.

I'll make it up to you.

It's okay, Pa.

I understand.

The other day,

a lot of students were arrested at the rally.

Don’t get involved in that, okay?

Leave rallies for later. Studies first.

But Pa!

Prices are crazy.

Tuition’s so expensive.

And they just steal everything!

You see, I’m the one complaining for you!

Right?

More pancit.

Yes, Pa.

Agnes.

- Your Godfather. - Ninong!

Bless me.

God bless you.

Oh, right. It's Thursday. What’s for lunch?

- Adobo, pancit? - Let's eat, Chief.

Did you really cook it this time?

- Let's eat! - I’m good.

Join us.

Your daughter’s a lady now, Homer.

Time flies fast, Chief.

Time to collect from your Godfather.

Pa, can you believe?

Ninong’s goldfish is still alive.

He’s had it forever!

And Ninong doesn’t seem to age either.

Wait here.

Oh.

You expecting someone?

That’s Cecil. My classmate.

Cecil is a guy?

I did not say he's a she.

Short for Cecilio, Sir.

Cecilio Mendiola.

It's a great honor to finally meet you, Sir.

Finally?

This is who you’re always with?

Yes, Sir, it’s my honor, Sir.

- Is he your boyfriend? - No, Sir!

Not yet.

MPD, Station 4.

Sir,

they found a body in San Marcelino.

We'll talk later.

Step back, please, Ma’am, Sir! Step back!

Please, do not cross this line.

Who saw the suspect?

Did you see the suspect, Sir?

The victim is a gang member, isn’t he?

Walter.

Homer.

This is a big mess, Homer.

Walter.

I thought the two gangs had a truce.

I thought so, too.

It’s been years since Sputnik and Bahala Na clashed.

And you’re surprised?

These gangs live and die by the sword.

Come to think of it,

their names mean the same thing, "to hell with it!"

Something feels off.

What?

It’s too easy... too clean.

Like it was set up.

- Here, have a cigarette. - I have some.

Here.

Blue Seal, huh? Fancy.

It was a gift.

Not bad!

Keep it.

- Are you sure? - Anything for you, Homer.

Thanks for this. See you around.

- What's up? - Do you really not know the victim?

They're here.

Your gang started this.

And you will put an end to it.

No one else dies. Got it?

Sputnik didn’t start this.

Then who did?

You’re the cops.

- You investigate! - Watch your mouth.

We already warned you, Remen.

Now it’s up to you.

Get back there.

Damn.

Jerk!

Boyet...

Boyet...

Boyet.

Boyet!

Boyet...

Boyet!

Damn them!

Come on!

Run, you cowards!

Come back here!

There's Kulot!

Come on!

Don't fight!

What?!

Want more?!

Liwanag!

Liwanag’s been stabbed!

Settle down, you bastards.

Stop it.

What do we do if they start a brawl?

Let them. The world’s better off with fewer assholes.

Sir,

I need to use the bathroom.

Felipe, go with him.

One at a time.

How about me?

After him.

- Hoy! - Stop it!

Where do you live?

Sir.

Good day, Captain Belarmino.

Lieutenant Abad, Philippine Constabulary.

Turn them over to the Metrocom.

But Sir,

they’re under our jurisdiction.

Orders from Colonel Pangan, District Command.

Do it.

Bring the paperwork to Camp Crame.

Sir.

Ride on.

Hurry up.

Faster.

Hurry.

Move faster.

Move.

Hurry up.

Hurry up.

Move.

It’s all a mess, Chief.

I still don’t understand.

Those jerks just wasted our time.

And Liwanag got stabbed.

Are they just hardworking,

or are they working hard to replace us?

They’re just helping, Ojeda.

They’ve got more resources than we do.

So that’s why they’re investigating Station 8.

Smuggling case.

That’s what Walter told me.

We’re equals.

They have no right to investigate the MPD.

It’s okay, Sir. We got this.

No, this one’s on me.

A pack, please.

Thank you.

Miss.

Thank you.

How are you?

Fine. And you?

Heading home early.

Aren’t you from Sampaloc? I think you’re on the wrong line.

You have your gun with you?

No. I’m off duty.

Cuff me.

I mean it.

Handcuff me.

Why?

Do it, before I make a scene.

Handcuff me. Now.

Arrest me, Officer.

Now follow me.

Oh, you have a guest.

Hey, there’s bopis in the fridge if you want.

Looks good.

You have a roommate.

Is this where you bring your clients?

No.

Just you.

When will I see you again?

This is the last time.

After all,

you’ve checked me off your list.

Is that what you think of me?

I’ve already told you,

I don’t like cops.

Didn’t feel that way just now.

I know.

But sorry,

another cop beat you to it.

Police?

Finest? Or Metrocom?

- Aren’t they the same, then? - What?

Is there even a difference?

We're nothing like those guys. They have no shame.

He’s also a cop.

Who is it?

Why would I tell you?

He's kind. Tips well.

And he’s a regular customer now.

I'll be back.

Taho!

Taho!

Get off me! Don’t you know who I am?

I’m a barangay captain. You can’t do this to me.

I heard you the first thirty minutes. I'm turning deaf.

I’m a cop. I carry a gun. Shut up.

Taguyunon! Process this one. I’m out of patience.

Yes, Sir!

Come with me!

- Rookie? - Is it that obvious?

Sheryl, tell them the truth!

You’re a liar and a tramp. You brought this on yourself!

- Sir, you good? - All good.

Hey, you’re back!

Barely felt it. Like a pinprick.

How are you, Sir?

Stronger.

- Great. - Feeling better?

I’m feeling younger!

Still hurts, huh?

Attention, Station 4.

There’s a rally on Mendiola.

Metrocom wants all stations for back-up.

- Where do you think you’re going? - I'm coming with you.

Stay here. You just got discharged. Do you want to go back to the hospital?

Man the phones.

Meneses, watch Liwanag. Make sure he stays put.

Sheryl, you disgrace me!

Chief, don’t believe a word she says. My wife is a liar—

Keep talking and I’ll scrape that shiny head of yours!

- Resist! Persist! Unite! - Resist! Persist! Unite!

Is this your first day?

Yes, Sir.

Lucky you.

Stay calm. No trouble unless someone starts it.

Resist! Persist! Unite!

Education is a right!

Not a privilege!

- Men! - Formation!

Formation! Move!

Dictators...

fall!

Imperialists...

out!

Get ready.

Resist! Persist! Unite!

Imperialists...

out!

Freedom...

now!

Dictators...

fall!

Resist! Persist! Unite!

Freedom...

now!

Dictators...

fall!

Fight!

Enough!

Stop! Please!

Come on!

Ojeda!

Let go of me! Let go of me!

Get up!

Sir?

Cecil! Is Agnes with you? Where is she?

Sorry, Sir, I didn’t mean to—

Cecil!

Lieutenant!

I’m good.

Were you hurt?

Don't cry.

There, there.

I'm fine, Pa.

My classmate, though, we don’t know what happened to her.

PC took everyone they arrested.

The others have gone home. But Berna’s still missing.

I’ll find your classmate.

Don’t cry. It’ll be okay.

Are you hurt anywhere?

If I tell you not to do this again, will you listen?

Then I won’t say it.

Don’t let your mother see you like this.

Here, take this.

Don’t cry.

You alright? Nothing hurts?

It’s okay, don’t cry.

You're good.

- Roldan. - Yes?

Ojeda.

Espinosa.

Everyone who got an envelope,

those are summons.

From the lawyers of the parents whose children were hurt in the rally.

You’ve been charged.

Serious physical injuries mostly.

Depends on what you did.

The details are there.

The order came from Metrocom, Sir.

They were in command.

Is that order even legal?

Why did you follow it?

If we hadn’t fought back,

we might’ve been killed.

You’re lucky you weren’t there.

Don't worry,

they know how this works.

Metrocom gets charged all the time

and nobody ever goes to jail.

But now we’re the ones being charged!

Ojeda.

You're being charged with frustrated homicide.

The boy’s in critical condition, so pray he makes it

or it’s a murder charge you’re facing.

It was self-defense, Sir.

They ganged up on me.

What are we supposed to do, not fight back?

Stand by the decisions you made.

You’re on restricted duty

while your cases are being heard.

Sir.

I was there.

I saw everything.

The truth is,

Sir Ojeda didn’t just defend himself.

He defended me too when he saw I was being beaten up.

What’s your name?

Taguyunon, Sir.

Patrolman Efren Taguyunon.

Think hard about whether you still deserve to be called 'Finest.’

Taguyunon.

- Where does it hurt? - Sir?

You said they jumped you. Beat you up.

Careful.

You still have a long way ahead.

It’s all right, Billy.

We have lawyers for cases like this.

One pancit.

Agnes was at Mendiola.

Was she hurt?

I saw how you struck those students.

I was defending myself, Sir.

If that was Agnes,

would you have struck her too just because they ordered it?

These files should be moved.

Or they won’t last.

What’s the last name again?

Liliosa.

Liliosa?

- Yes. Bernadette. - Okay.

Bernadette Liliosa.

Wait.

We’re missing some files.

Metrocom borrowed them.

They haven’t returned them.

So now, the files on the missing persons

have gone missing, too.

Barber dad,

murdered for a bad haircut!

Show some respect for the dead.

Sorry, man.

This job has numbed me.

Sorry, Homer.

What happened?

Accidental casualties from another

Bahala Na-Sputnik clash.

I thought

you already had the gangs under control?

What did the investigators say?

Haven’t you heard?

PC released the rioters.

Posted bail?

No charges.

They even turned them into informants.

These gangs must be of some use to them.

Please Sir...

Stop...

Please don't.

Please don't.

Please don't.

- There’s Remen. - Please don't.

I'm sorry, Sir. Let me go, Sir.

What happened to this one?

PC booked him for vagrancy.

Locked him up for two days.

Who knows what they did to him.

Vagrancy?

But that’s your territory.

Please let me go home. I don’t know anything.

Hey, Remen!

Remen.

So, Metrocom cut you a nice deal?

Damn it.

What exactly did Metrocom tell you?

The high and mighty bastards?

We got nothing from those big shot wannabes.

They act all-important.

Is that so?

Well, they told Sputnik something.

They said you had Mokong killed.

That you had Pandak do the job.

Now, what?

Those devils.

Big, fat liars!

All they’re good for is made up stories.

I told you. It’s like speaking to a wall.

Calm down!

Calm down.

Your curls are getting tighter.

Just listen first.

Metrocom is playing you.

The Sputniks can smell it.

They don’t want this blowing up.

So, they won’t act on Metrocom’s tip

unless you do.

Sons of bitches.

Admit it.

You’re siding with them.

We're not taking sides, Kulot.

We're asking you to give us time to investigate.

Investigate?

I thought this was Metrocom’s case?

We're in Manila, aren’t we?

Whatever they say,

this is still our territory.

They can’t push us aside.

Do we have an agreement?

Fine.

But we won’t wait long.

Did he just cuss us out?

He said hurry up.

Is this the only remaining panciteria in Manila?

Your father’s from Del Pan too, right?

That’s right.

Yes, Sir?

What's the matter with you?

Nothing, Sir.

But it seems like you have a problem with me.

We’ll only have a problem

if you keep hanging around those people.

They're the reason you’re in trouble.

Stay away from them.

They’ll do you more harm than good.

Come with me.

What did they do, Sir?

I’m sorry.

I don’t know what’s happening anymore.

How’s your case?

It was raised to murder, Sir.

Found out yesterday.

My father has no idea I could get kicked out of the service.

He’s a cop, too.

He’ll understand.

You still have a conscience, Ojeda.

Be careful.

Don’t lose it.

Thank you, Sir.

Sir! There’s a fire in the alley.

Come on!

Noel. Wake up, come with me.

What is it?

There’s a fire in the alley.

Get ready in case it spreads. Your slippers. Quick.

- Come on! - Son, wake up.

Come here.

Wait.

Wait there.

Hey, stop!

Stop! Hey!

Got the plate number?

- Yes, Pa. - What is it?

L1153, Pa.

Lieutenant, this is Station 4.

Please check plate number L1153.

See if you find anything. Call me right away.

Yes. Thanks, man.

L1153. Please check your records.

Thank you.

- No luck. - Damn...

Station 4. Good morning.

Got it.

Who was that?

Keep searching. I’ll be back.

Yes, Sir.

How are you?

My contact in Camp Crame says you kept badgering them.

My gut says the fire was arson.

That’s a serious crime,

and it’s under our jurisdiction to investigate.

Not anymore, Homer.

A memo was sent to your department.

We’re taking over.

Fine. Investigate.

We're close to finding out

who’s really stirring trouble in Manila.

This is you.

This is us.

Whatever you uncover

will be beyond you.

If I were you, I’d go back to catching snatchers in Quiapo.

The things that matter, leave them to us.

And what if we don’t agree?

Fine.

Think about it carefully.

How much do you value your job?

Your family?

Your friends?

Especially, your daughter.

Let’s go.

Damn it.

What are you doing here?

You did this?

What did I tell you?

Just one favor, Sir.

You really have the nerve to ask for one?

I’ll take the blame for this.

My colleagues don’t have to be dragged in.

You handed them the advantage to destroy us!

If this were last year, I’d say to hell with our friendship,

even if I’m your daughter’s Godfather.

But this isn’t the time to break us.

You’re right.

There’s no gang war.

It’s Finest versus Metrocom now.

Why are they doing this, Sir? What the hell for?

I’ll talk to someone.

Keep investigating.

I’ll protect you as long as I can.

Hello?

Homer, it’s me.

- Who is this? - Janette.

Where’s Room 12?

There.

It's Conrad.

Heart attack.

I just spoke to him.

He mentioned you the other day.

He said that if anything happens,

I should call you.

I don’t know what to do.

He said,

you’d know.

I don’t know what to do.

I have something important to tell you.

Chief is gone.

They found him in a parking lot.

It was a heart attack.

They rushed him to the hospital.

But it was too late.

Shot?

No, thanks. I’m just on break.

Just one.

Just a little.

Fine, just a little.

Maybe it’s better for Belarmino,

that he didn’t get to see

the new police force of the "New Society."

Oh, please.

I’m not buying it.

Sir!

Sir.

New?

More like stinking news.

Same rotting news as ever.

I don't understand.

Shouldn’t Captain Carmona be next?

What do you mean?

Really, Homer?

Haven’t you heard anything?

The newsroom is buzzing

with the words "Martial" and "Law".

Walter.

That’s fear mongering. Gossip.

I hope it is just that.

But the signs are everywhere.

Look at all the checkpoints.

Local curfews.

The Constitutional Convention...

just a ploy to extend terms,

especially for the man in the Palace.

In the newsroom, many are being killed.

What?

Stories. They’re killing stories.

Sometimes I think about teaching full-time instead.

In the classroom, I can breathe.

My students... they’re a breath of fresh air.

WE'RE DROWNING IN FLOODS YOU'RE DROWNING IN LUXURY

It's hope.

Somehow, they still see

the world as beautiful,

and that it can be better.

Like my Agnes.

Sir, something for Chief Belarmino.

You're a week late. He’s at the memorial park.

Sir?

How shall we do this?

Who can receive it, Sir?

I’ll take it.

Okay, you can have this.

Thank you, Sir.

Our cases were dismissed.

We're back on duty.

Lieutenant Magtibay.

You called for me, Sir?

Four across.

Legal excuse.

Five letters. I know this.

What was it again?

"Alibi," Sir.

Alibi!

Sit.

Take a seat.

I hear you studied Law.

Only two years, Sir.

I had to start working.

I know you were closest to Belarmino.

The men here, they respect you.

Help me.

Help me get this precinct in order.

You're smart.

I’m sure you see it.

Finest is falling behind.

We need to keep up, or we’re done.

Sir.

How do we keep up

when they’re taking our work from us?

I’ll tell you something, in confidence.

There's a planned integration between Metrocom and local police.

In Manila?

Nationwide.

No date yet, but it’s inevitable.

In fact, they’re putting a PC desk in every precinct.

Counter-insurgency, et cetera. You get the drift.

Let them.

But,

we won’t let them interfere with our mandate.

We’ll have none of that.

Sir.

Hello.

Friends,

before we get too drunk,

I mean, before the celebration continues,

give me one minute.

Is that Madam?

Hello.

Looking sharp!

- Right? - Dressed to kill!

Hey!

- You too! - Thanks.

As our beloved President once said,

"This country can be great again."

And as my grandfather,

the great General Osmundo Javier, used to say,

"When you’re a cop

and you do something wrong,

hide it.

But when you do something good,

watch out.

Hide it even better!"

- Merry Christmas to all! - Merry—

Long live Manila’s Finest.

Cheers!

Come on!

Chief.

You actually look human tonight.

Help yourselves.

Hey.

Yoly’s a sight to behold.

Your second wife, they say?

I’ve had more.

Much more!

Here, split this.

A Christmas gift from the businessmen in Escolta.

This is too much, Sir.

It’s the spirit of giving, Magtibay.

There’s even ham for everyone, courtesy of the Chinese.

Back then, we only got calendars.

Now, that’s progress.

I’m already working on your salary increase.

Are you bribing us, Sir?

This is not a bribe.

It's grease money!

Bullshit. That’s even worse.

Wait. You say you’re fixing our pay raise.

How?

You run the whole country’s police force now?

Easy.

Just being straight with you.

I’ve got a batchmate stationed in Negros.

He says you helped the PC catch rebels.

Is that how you became Chief?

Listen. No one lasts in this service

without knowing how to play along.

Now that I’m Chief, I’ll play along.

So, your work gets lighter.

So, we don’t get singled out.

Playing along is the name of the game.

Great!

Sir, forgive Meneses.

He becomes a different person when he’s drunk.

It’s too quiet here.

Did you hear what Javier said?

Yeah.

Makes me miss Belarmino more.

Merry Christmas, Sir!

Hurry up, we’ve got a lot of beer to finish.

Okay.

Let's do a car buffing on this.

Of course, you should.

Carmelo de Leon.

That’s me, Sir.

I know.

We’ve met several times, haven’t we?

You’re mistaking me for someone else.

What can I do for you?

Looks like your car needs a lot of work.

Even the plate needs changing?

I'm just stripping everything down to clean every corner.

Do you frequent Zone 5?

I pass by once in a while. Why do you ask?

What were you doing there the night of the fire?

There was a fire?

You were also at the rally in Mendiola.

You’re always stirring up chaos.

Sir, maybe you should have your eyes checked.

No way I’d do those things.

So, that’s the game you want to play?

- Damn you. - Wait.

Are you sure about this?

Do you want to lose your job?

Why? Are you the mayor’s son?

Sir, none of us needs this trouble.

What?

Cuff him!

Yes, Sir.

What?!

Laugh some more.

We can’t just turn him over.

He’s been stirring up trouble here with arson and murder!

Calm down!

I’m sure your suspicions have basis.

But we can’t go against an order from the DND!

We’re talking national security.

There’s a conspiracy, Sir.

The government itself is starting the trouble!

Hard to prove that.

I’ll prove it.

Let it go, okay?

It’s not worth it.

It's not worth it.

This is our job.

It’s their call whether you get to keep this job or not.

Think of your friends.

Especially, your family.

Yes, Sir.

Looking snappy now.

What’s happening?

See for yourself.

We're now working with thugs.

See that one? That one. There!

I know him. He’s a snatcher from my area.

How the hell did he get recruited?

Maybe he’s turning over a new leaf.

I'm caught in the middle too, Remen.

But I’ll figure out a way.

A lot's happening in the precinct now.

Don’t bother.

Easy!

We've settled it.

It’s done.

The war is in Vietnam, not here.

Good. But still, be careful.

Of you guys?

It’s not safe. Keep your heads down.

Cowards.

Everyone wants us out of here.

You too?

It's not like that.

Just do your job, whatever that is.

We’ll take charge here.

I got this.

Thanks, man.

- Thank you. - No problem.

So what are you gonna do now?

Oh, well.

What else? Scratch my balls.

Oh, Homer. If only that were his biggest itch.

- Hey, watch it! - What about?

Let’s go.

Keep an eye on him, Beth.

Take care of yourselves. Stay in touch.

Chaos has broken out among the protesters.

Earlier this afternoon, around three o’clock,

tensions flared when a group of young demonstrators rushed the embassy gates.

Police stationed in the area immediately moved in to confront them.

Sir!

Sir!

Sir, are you sure you don’t want that checked?

It looks deep.

Did you catch them?

They got away.

They got away, or you let them get away?

Excuse me, Sir. I’ll step outside.

Damn it. So, you did let them go!

Sir.

Stop asking when you already know the answer.

Go on. Do it!

You’ve lost all respect for the uniform anyway.

You’re no longer Finest.

- You’re Metrocom! - No one can stop them!

Even if I helped you, we’d end up in the same ditch.

Best accept it.

Finest is gone.

This is Finest now.

Damn it.

Next time, I may not be able to save you.

So, please...

Don't fight this anymore.

Next time,

don’t help me.

Let me do that.

What I pursued being a lawyer instead?

What made you say that?

No reason.

Something’s wrong?

I know a professor at UST.

He might help me get in.

"Professor Magtibay..." Sound bad?

I'm just not used to it.

Just a thought.

I’m not clueless, you know?

I’m your wife.

Even when you say nothing,

I know when something’s weighing on you.

If it’s too much,

then leave.

We’ll get by.

But how about...

What will happen to Manila’s Finest

if we all walk away?

Life goes on, Homer.

Here's the chicharon.

Look for more. Maybe there's something more delicious there.

Okay, to make the baby happy,

I'll just have this.

- That's good. - I'll have this orange.

Twenty pesos, that's cheap already.

- Do you like this? - Yes. That one.

Okay.

Hello?

Who?

Where?

Are you sure?

Sir Magtibay.

What?

Sir.

Sir.

Let’s eat.

- Pa. - Yes?

Did you check on my friend?

Did you find her?

I'm still following up.

Don’t bother, Pa.

She’s gone.

Berna’s gone.

Stop crying.

Come here.

It’s still me, Agnes.

Until when, Pa?

Remember when I was a kid?

I used to brag that my father was a cop.

And now you’re ashamed of me?

No!

Not yet.

I’ll visit you at your house next time.

I’m not coming back here.

Agnes.

Miss, I’ve been waiting.

We sent that to you last week.

You just need to confirm if the witness’s name is correct.

Then look harder.

I’ll call again.

Taguyunon.

Sir.

Agnes.

I'm here to visit.

Are you alright, Sir?

I’m fine. How about you?

Holding up?

I’ll manage, Sir. I have to.

There aren’t many of us left.

Since I was a kid this is what I’ve always wanted,

to be a cop.

Catch the bad guys.

Fights. Chases.

Guns.

Turns out it’s a lot different.

It’s...

It’s a lot harder.

Now do you still want it?

Or do you want to give up?

It may be hard.

But it’s also exciting.

The enemies are not always outside.

Sir?

Sir Magtibay!

Sir!

- Sir. - What happened?

- Sir. - Sir Magtibay!

- Wake up, Sir! - What happened?

Sir.

Sir! Wake up!

Sir.

Call an ambulance, quick!

- Sir! - Sir.

Sir Homer?

Where’s the ambulance?

Hurry up!

- Sir Magtibay! - Hurry up!

I’m sorry.

Keep it going.

Partner.

It’s curfew, dear.

Good evening, Sir.

I didn’t notice the time. I was doing a school project.

We’ve heard that before.

Get in the back.

Don’t be scared. We’re just taking you to Camp.

You’ll be home by noon tomorrow.

Ojeda, up front.

You working with the communists?

No, Sir.

She’s hiding something.

What’s inside?

Looks like there’s nothing, Sir.

Wait.

Maybe it’s here.

- Or here. - Stop...

Just watch.

- That’s enough, Sir. - Relax...

Or here?

Or here?

Or here?

Please, don't touch me.

Ah! Here!

You pig!

You jerk!

Stop it, Ojeda!

I said stop!

Ojeda, you idiot! Where are you going?!

Out!

Run! Go!

Ojeda.

Now what?

Do we take him down?

No need.

He’s not worth it.

Are you gonna do it?

He’s a fool.
