My teacher told me that in Japan, they see that plants...

should have three levels.

At the top is heaven.

It Has to be arranged well as it's the first thing you'll see.

Lush would be good. Flowery would be better.

In the middle is man.

Because he looks like the stem of a plant.

When standing up, the plant stands tall.

Sometimes it's sitting down, that's why it's low.

And at the bottom is earth.

But this is the most important.

Because the plan! Will be of no use without a firm foundation.

When these three come together, it's called harmony.

When there is harmony, the plants live well.

The garden looks happy to look at.

Sir Boryong, I'll be going.

You can be a professional gardener.

- Hey, Ronald! You're late again! - Quick! Faster!

Hey! Moronald!

Go! Hurry! It's your turn.

Faster!

That's why there's an "X" mark.

Oh, what's this?

It's a marker! Go!

Ma'am...

They're sneaking on you.

- Hey! You perverts! - Jimenez, Ronald Jr.

My goodness! You're late again.

Congratulations.

Manansala, Joseph Marvin.

Uncle Pilo, I'm here.

Ronald! This is your job.

What took you so long, you jackass?

Didn't I tell you?

I had to fix something for my friend's birthday.

Birthday!

I've already put aside the flowers for the altar.

Put them there and replace the wilting plants.

Uncle Pilo...

I'll be graduating soon.

I just need to pass Math.

Look at that...

even if you're an idiot, you'll finish more than I did.

But you'll still amount to nothing.

You're just about to graduate, but I'm about to retire.

Get to work.

Okay, Uncle Pilo.

WOW!

You finally replaced them. Those are beautiful flowers.

Come on, guys.

Because of minute random mutation that's very common...

in the chromosomes of even; Pollen...

we'll see a little difference between plants of the same species.

If you selectively pollinate plants...

favoring your desired characteristics, like dwarf growth...

or colored leaves, or even bigger flowers...

Ma’am Bessy, I heard about something called genetic drift.

How does random mutation differ from genetic drift?

I'm afraid I wasn't able to...

Genetic drift happens when a certain gene occurs...

more frequently in a population through several generations.

You didn't discuss that, so I googled it.

Bessy!

Bessy! Hey! How was your observation?

Go chase the superintendent! Or you won't be regularized.

Ma'am Bessy.

Ronald.

For you.

It's beautiful. Thanks.

I wanted to show you something.

That's beautiful, it's just like a Memorial Park.

Heavenly Gardens.

So it's a memorial park. You always make me laugh.

I'm showing you this because you asked me what I plan to do in life.

Yes.

Ma'am Bessy, this is it.

When I graduate, I'm going to be a professional gardener.

That's the career I want.

When you graduate from high school, you mean?

I won't attend high school anymore.

I'm okay with grade seven.

Ronald, you'll waste all our tutorials.

They weren't a waste.

I got to be with you.

And I already learned a lot from you.

But you know about this, right?

Nothing in there.

It's all right, Ma'am.

Boryong told me that I'll earn...

500 pesos a day as a gardener in our place.

That's why...

I have a wish from you, Ma'am Bessy, before I graduate.

What is it?

We been waiting a long time to tell you...

Ma'am Bessy...

- can we be... - Ma'am Bessy! Sir Paco is calling you.

Okay, please tell him I'm on my way.

Ah, okay.

See you later at our tutorial, okay?

Come on, take a video.

Moronald, show me your retarded face!

Look at the camera!

If you do it, I'll show you my videos.

All the teachers, boobs and butts.

You like that, right?

Okay, let's just do a pick-up line.

Ronald, are you a pencil?

Why?

Because...

Ronald!

Ronald Jimenez! What is this again?!

Why do you keep forcing me to join you?

Because I said so!

Is that so? Then have dinner by yourself!

Paco!

Pm getting sick and tired of your tantrums!

I swear you're getting worse!

Then let me go! I've had enough!

You do not get to ca}! The shots here! I do!

Get the hell out of my car!

Get out!

Just solve the exercise.

That's easy.

Want to do this tomorrow instead?

I'm okay.

Just finish that and we can go home.

Ma'am Bessy...

you're not okay.

Here...

is this okay, Ma'am Bessy?

I guess not.

Oh yeah, that's an old gimmick.

You know Ma'am Bessy, let's just finish this tomorrow.

You're not in the mood.

Okay. Let's resume tomorrow.

Go home now.

Wait...

Why just me?

You should too.

We should go together.

I'll just be at the faculty lounge.

Oh wait, Ma'am Bessy.

I have something to show you.

Ronald, go home.

No. This will just be a while.

Promise.

You'll enjoy this.

We been wanting to show you this, Ma‘am Bessy.

But the timing is always off.

They just need a lot of care, Ma'am Bessy, but it's worth it.

Oh! Look at this, Ma'am Bessy.

Granada.

But it doesn't explode.

And it's also not mine. I was just asked to take care of it.

This, Ma'am Bessy, look at this one.

These are the ones that need the most care.

They can't take too much heat or else they will wilt.

When they get too much shade, they get dwarfed.

And when you water them too much...

they become yellowish, like they have hepatitis.

That's why they need just the right touch.

A touch especially for them.

How do you know what's best for them?

Well, when you really want something...

you'd know everything it needs. Everything it dislikes.

You have to know it by heart.

Ma'am Bessy, why do you let him hurt you?

If a person loves you, he shouldn't hurt you, right?

You're still a child, Ronald.

A child? I'm even older than you.

This might be slow but this is whole.

I'll get used to him. He's really just like that.

Why don't you fight back?

If you're not angry, I am.

He shouldn't be doing that to you.

You're my kindest friend in the whole world.

Ronald.

Ma'am Bessy.

Why does it have to be him?

Why not me?

I'll never hurt you.

No matter what.

I love you, Ma'am Bessy.

I love you, Ma'am Bessy.

Ronald!

Text your dad and ask permission.

Just follow, okay?

Let's go.

Sure.

Where's my cellphone?!

Yes!

Ma'am, it's Sir Julian.

Good afternoon, sir.

We should've come here together.

I had to pick up the flowers.

Sir, do you want to have some snacks?

I'm good.

I still have an appearance in court.

Amanda, it'll be one year next month.

Haven't we talked about it already?

We'll be selling the house after his death anniversary.

How about Martin's room?

Just donate his things.

Last night...

I woke up crying.

I dreamed of Martin.

His face was blurry.

Julian...

I don't want to forget Martin.

I don't want to sell the house.

We're going to get annulled, right?

It will be easier for us.

That's where this will go, anyway.

When they finish fixing the gate, I'll have the house advertised.

Ma’am, if you want The feeding program on Friday...

then I'll be canceling your appointments at the clinic.

Dr. Fenestre will be there. She's a developmental psychologist.

Ma'am, what about Lallie Laperal? She said she's your friend.

She kept calling. She doesn't seem to know your new number.

Lallie? I wonder why.

Ma'am, let's do it.

We usually feed children.

But of course, the mothers join in when they're hungry.

Martin always made them choose. Noodles or porridge.

Let's just prepare the juice at Payatas.

Yes.

It'll get sticky if it spills in the car.

Ma'am, I'll cook the pork ears first then I'll put them in the freezer.

Borta and I will just chop them on Friday.

Sure.

I never got to join Martin.

Too bad, Ma'am.

Martin really got high on doing these feeding programs.

His allowance and his fund-raising activities...

all went to the mobile kitchen.

He even wants this packed one by one.

Let me help you with that...

We'll do it.

Dora, put the meat in the freezer, please? It might spoil.

Yes, I know.

Don't leave the bread in the fridge.

Yes, I know. You keep reminding me.

Oh, wait. Where are my things? Where are the T-shirts?

We already put them in the laundry. They smell.

What's happening here? Why is it so noisy?

Your son is always like this when it comes to the feeding program.

She won't let me use the plastic plates. She wants me to buy styro.

Isn't it banned already?

You're right. I'll take care of it.

Dora, just let him use the melamine plates.

Hey, Martin!

Dad!

Here's my share.

I didn't put polos there. Just shirts and jeans.

Cool!

I wonder who among them is a six-footer like you?

Dad, thanks.

Okay.

Dad, you remembered.

I really appreciate it.

Mom.

- Yes? - Mom come here!

I have something for you.

What is it?

Mom.

Stress ball.

Or stress heart.

Thank you. Yes, I like it.

If you're happy with my gift, then join us in the mobile kitchen tomorrow.

We're now affiliated with Love One Another Foundation.

My chapter is in Payatas.

It will be fun, mom!

Imagine, we will be feeding 18 children.

Last week, we had student volunteers.

We even had people from comedy bars.

It's like a street party. It's incredibly fun.

Please, join us.

Even Daddy is coming.

But I'm busy tomorrow, Mart.

You always are, mom.

Okay, fine. But next time, no more excuses.

Promise?

Why is this heart blue?

Ma'am, we'll go ahead.

Borta and I have to travel early tomorrow.

I forgot to mention... I'm sorry.

Pm supposed to give this to you. Somebody called.

A YouTube Link?

She said you need to watch it soon. It might be taken down tomorrow.

We'll be going now, ma'am.

Goodbye, ma'am.

Ronald! Ronald, no!

Ronald, no! Ronald, no!

I'm Megan. I'm Bessy's co-teacher and best friend.

Have you noticed our students? Their main language is English!

And of course, we make sure that it has an accent.

Thank you. I thought you wouldn't come.

We last saw each other at the homecoming, right?

That was three years ago.

I wasn't able to go to the wake.

I was at New Jersey then.

What actually happened to Martin?

Was it the brakes?

I thought so.

But you got my mass card, right?

I guess, you saw.

I've watched it.

Is it Bessy?

It's Bessy.

We been a week since ii was uploaded. I had to find out from someone else.

I almost had a hear! Attack when I saw it.

What's happening to you?

Is this the reason?

Ronald! Ronald, no!

No Ronald! No!

They found out?!

The students and the faculty already know.

I assured them that you wanted none of this to happen...

and we will track down...

Who did this to you?

Why did this happen?

We are under review.

And the board is auditing.

This is the worst time!

You know that I gave all my life to this school.

All my life!

And now my niece in the university becomes...

What happened, Bessy?

Who did this to you?

Was it Ronald Jimenez?

He will pay for this!

It wasn't his fault...

All victims are like that.

They think it's their fault.

You were raped.

Weren't you?

If it is rape, it's not your fault.

Tell me.

It is rape.

It was rape.

How is Bessy?

Has she had a physical exam?

A psychological evaluation?

Of course.

A week has passed but I still had her go through the physical exam.

Even medico-legal...

Psychiatric?

No. She refused.

That's why you called?

I'm a developmental psychologist. What you need is...

No, no! No, Amanda!

I need you for something much more delicate.

I need you to talk to the rapist.

The rapist?

- Seriously? - It won't be hard.

He's still here.

In this school?

Yes.

It... it... how can I explain?

It's not a rape attack. It's more like a student rape.

Ronald Jimenez. Our gardener.

You’re a psychologist for these kinds of people, right?

Assess him.

Look if he has a capacity to understand what he did.

If not, then we won't have a case.

This is too much. The rapist is retarded.

The correct way to call them is "developmentally delayed."

I call him a rapist.

To think that Bessy's the only one to give that idiot compassion.

She's been tutoring him just so he could pass.

My charity work and this is how he repays me?

But why would someone guilty still go to school?

I don't know! He's retarded.

Amanda, please assess him so we can use your testimony.

Ma'am...

Sorry, ma'am.

But it's still neat and tidy, right?

I'm sorry.

I'm not an inspector.

I just came to visit you.

Visit?

Why?

What's happening?

What do you mean?

People are weird right now.

They treat me differently now. They have a different laugh.

And then...

Ma'am Megan told me to go on a vacation.

But I can't. Our graduation is near.

And now, you're visiting me.

Who are you?

I'm Amanda. Bessy's friend.

Ma.“ Bessy“.

So you're her friend! Have a seat!

You should have told me earlier.

I'm sorry. Please, sit down.

Sit down, ma'am.

How is Ma'am Bessy?

When will she come back to school?

My flowers for her have all wilted.

You don't know what happened to Bessy?

Sir Paco hurt her again.

Sir Paco is her bad boyfriend.

Oh, no, no.

Ronald, I wanted to talk about you and Bessy.

But I have to go now because I have a letter to give my mom.

And I still have this to give to Ma'am Bessy.

You're giving her that?

You know what, Ma'am? You look so kind.

I'll give you my number.

Call me if you need anything.

My brother is not a pig!

Wow, you're intense!

And they're talking about pork.

But if she’s involved in the pork barrel scam...

then who's the "Pretty Boy" on Napoles' ledger?

"Pretty Boy"? Who's "Pretty Boy"?

Here they are. Pretty Boy One. Two. Three. Four.

Such pretty boys.

I don't think so.

Here. How about "Sexy"?

"sexy"?

That would be me, Senator!

Then who's the "Granny"?

"Granny"? Both of you.

You piece of shit, Janet!

Don't you know we can have you killed?

Kill me? Why kill me immediately?

Can they rape me first?

Do you have a boyfriend?

Girl! You were fabulous!

Thank you.

Oh my god!

That costume is killing me. I hate it!

It's so tight.

Please read this letter from school.

What is this, Son?

Let me borrow these!

Oh, there you go again.

Oh, my genius child is here.

Caloy, he's graduating from grade school this March.

Your kid keeps getting porn without paying.

That's why I'm just borrowing.

You should stop it!

- You're still just a child! - I'll just return it.

- There’s no straight porn in there. - There is.

- I Saw it back then. - It's all gay sex.

Here.

Dad, I don't have this one.

Monster Wet An...

Anal! Do you know what Anal is?

Ass.

If you watch that, bubbles will come out of your ass.

If someone's more beautiful than you, I'm going to kill her.

But I wouldn't want to commit suicide.

Here you go.

Beauty, this will do for now.

This isn't enough.

How much do I owe you?

More than fifty bucks!

Go settle for thirty!

I'll pay you next time.

Spare us some loaves, will you?

Stop begging and get to work.

Is anybody home?

Is anybody home?

Is anybody home?

Good morning.

Good morning (IN SPANISH).

Good morning (IN GERMAN). Good morning.

What can I do for you?

Good morning. Is this where Ronald Jimenez Jr lives?

Yes. Why?

Oh, here, a subpoena.

Sweetheart, we should tell Fionron.

This is rape.

Don't! You'll hurt our son!

We don't even know what this is about.

How are we going to know if we're not going to ask?

Hello? Hello, friend?

- What the heck, wait! - Wait, just wait.

Come on let's do it!

Ma! Pa!

Yes Son?

I'm so bothered. I had a visit yesterday.

Son, only girls have visits.

No, Ma. A person, I meant.

I think I've seen her before. But I'm not sure.

She looked like someone.

A teacher?

No.

A policeman?

- She looked like someone. - Who, Son?

Martin! Right, I got it!

Ron...

Ftonron, what is that? What's that you're up to again?

Ran!

Are you looking for something?

I have a selfie picture with Brobro here, papa.

There!

Look! That's her.

She is Martin's mom.

She was the woman who visited me.

Martin told me back then that she is a...

Psycho.

...logist. I think you mean psychologist. Because psycho means crazy.

And this guy here is Martin's dad.

And he's, uhm...

a lawyer.

This is a letter from the fiscal.

Do you know how grave this accusation is?

That's why we are asking your help, attorney.

We don't know what to do, attorney. We're just poor.

We don't how to deal with this.

We just want to protect our child.

Okay. The preliminary investigation is ongoing.

They're just waiting for you to answer the accusation.

If it's true that he raped... Attorney!

Okay.

Do you think your son is innocent?

We don't just think so. We believe so.

Our Flonron is a little slow that's why it impossible for him to, you know...

Sweetheart, our kid is just mentally delayed. He's not impotent.

But Ftonron can't think of something that bad.

Fionron is only human. He is not as saintly as the Pope.

Are you going to keep contradicting me, Tart?

Excuse me.

How old was he when you adopted him?

Attorney, he's our son.

Yes. His sperm, my egg cell.

I'm sorry, I thought...

Oh, it's okay. It's really hard to understand.

Just look at us. Even if I'm a man, I look like a beautiful teen star!

While she looks like a rock star.

A bewitched rock star.

Enough with the punchlines.

They just comes out.

Attorney, I'm married to this man.

I used to be an agent in bikini pageants.

And I saw this man there.

Love at first sight. His briefs just fell.

Do you have any idea how heavy a rape accusation is?

Mama...

Papa...

Just say it.

Rape.

Use "rape" in a sentence.

Ronald committed rape. There.

I have a question, who referred you to me?

Martin did.

He used to tell us stories about you when he was still alive.

Like a dead person could talk.

I'm sorry.

Because you know Flonron and Martin they were so close!

But Martin never mentioned you.

Martin told us he doesn't talk to you that much.

Naldo!

What is it again?

I'm sorry, but I think...

it is not in your best interest that I represent you in court.

You know I'm a blabbermouth when I'm nervous.

Just shut up. You're so noisy, I can't think.

That's why he didn't believe us that we were Martin's friends...

Martin?

You're always at Martin's house, right?

Hi.

You don't know us but we know you.

Noodles for you. With squid toppings.

We're the parents of Ronald Jimenez.

The one you visited at school.

I knew it!

You're Brobro's mom.

What do you need? I still have errands for today.

Our son Fionron is Martin's friend.

Us too.

You're my son's friends?

Yes.

Hey!

It's been so long!

Ma'am, they are Naldo and Sampi from the comedy bar.

They help us out at Martin's feeding program.

Hello.

Do you use the blue heart? The stress ball?

You know about this?

That? Of course. Martin and I bought that.

He said that was for...

de-stressing. Yes, that's right.

I didn't believe him when he said that it takes away your stress.

Then I remember asking...

Brobro, it's a heart! Why is it blue?

Then Martin replied... Ma'am...

I see you continued the mobile kitchen.

Each time you couldn't go, Martin would call us up.

That's why they were at every feeding program.

Ma... Pa...

can we go with them now? Please, just like old times.

Let's help out Doctor Bien. Let's make the feeding program even bigger!

I'll just call our gay friends.

Wait, it might get rowdy. This is just a small event.

Us, rowdy? We're very quiet...

just like in a funeral.

I'll just call our gay friends.

Here. Miriam.

No! Eyeglasses! Eyeglasses!

And you believed we'd be quiet?

Thanks for the help.

No problem. Anything for Martin.

Sampi, I know why you came to our house.

I can't promise you that I can help you.

Bessy is my goddaughter.

Are you saying our son has no hope for justice?

I side with the truth.

Pitiful, isn't he?

He's 27 but has the mind of a 13 year old.

I was a drunkard then.

Naldo and I got drunk then I got pregnant.

Unthinkable, isn't it?

I forgot I had a uterus.

I was already two months pregnant and I still kept on drinking.

That's why Ftonron was born like that. Retarded.

But you're still lucky. He's borderline normal.

High-functioning.

High-functioning?

So that's what it's called.

High-functioning.

Just like a washing machine.

Let's admit.

My child ls mentally delayed.

He's slow.

They call him a special child.

You know, Ma'am Amanda...

one night, Fionron went home with a red mark on his forehead.

His playmates told him that like special pork buns...

he needed that red mark.

I'm sorry to hear that, Sampi.

You know what that red mark was?

A wound.

They hurt my child.

If they will keep hurting him for the rest of his life...

then what's special about that?

Don't blame yourself.

That's what we always tell ourselves.

But you're a mother as well.

You know in your heart you have your faults.

You're flawed.

Sorry, Ma'am.

Caloy.

Caloy, pass it there.

This will fit here, Ma'am. We have enough space.

Thank you.

No problem, Ma'am.

Brobro and I are used to it.

How did you meet Martin?

Martin? He studied me before for his the...

Thesis.

Thesis! His thesis.

Why were you involved in his thesis? He took up engineering.

You didn't know?

He transferred to psychology.

So you can be both "psychos". You were his idol.

Seems like Brobro never told you.

It's okay.

I hide a lot of secrets from my parents.

They don't know I have Bessy now.

Really? You and Bessy are a couple?

It's a secret.

You thought I'd spill?

Is Bessy kind to you?

Kind?

Ma.“ Bessy“.

Of course.

Babe!

You're still beautiful even if you're getting chubby.

You can have this.

I haven't drunk from it yet.

Ma'am...

It's not true.

You're not getting fat.

Ronald, convert these in 5 minutes, okay?

You can do it. We've studied that. The binary and hex.

Ma'am, I'm going to return this cellphone soon, so...

Can we take a video first?

I'll shoot. You sing.

What will I sing?

Any song, ma'am.

I know lots of songs.

You should know much more. You even know binary and hex.

One... Two...

Go, Ma'am Bessy.

What are you doing, Ma'am?

Dancing.

But that's already passed!

- Oh really now?! - Do something else, ma'am.

- Your turn, then! - No, it's your turn.

You said I was lame. So you better do something new.

Sure.

What's that?

One... Two... Three...

Go!

Give it a lucky blow.

Yes!

Ronald. You're not even looking.

Ma'am Bessy...

Did she tell you?

Tell me what?

That she loves you.

She loves me.

But she didn't tell you.

How about you, do you love Martin?

Of course.

But you never told him.

No!!!

Martin!

Julian.

Can we talk?

I remember Lallie.

She can get Ronald convicted with her money.

So why would I want to help that loser of a case?

Here in the Philippines, no one ever trumps over a rape case.

So what?

Claim of intellectual disability?

I asked our legal officer to do research.

Ronald stalked the teacher. They even have a sex video.

Julian, I know all that.

But Martin and Ronald are best friends.

He was there for Martin when we weren't.

There.

The truth came out.

That's what I've been saying.

That's why I didn't accept the case. That's why I'm selling this house.

For Martin's sake.

It's why I'm leaving you. I've had enough of this.

How long are we supposed to mourn?

It's been a year! Everyday I...

I just want to make it up to my son.

If we help out Ronald, will it bring Martin back?

Come on, Amanda. Let's move on.

Move on?!

What for you is moving on?

Sell the house?

Annulment?

Forget everything that reminds you of Martin?

That's not moving on.

You're just burying your heart alive.

It's been buried long ago!

I made one mistake and you never stopped!

Things weren't the same.

I'm so tired.

Just talk to Ronald!

And when you do I'll sign the annulment.

Is this that important to you?

I'll have the annulment papers prepared.

Do it.

Ronald, it's just the two of us so you can say what you want to say.

Okay?

Now tell me what really happened with you and Bessy.

Why did you refuse us back then, Attorney?

What if I tell you I believed what they were saying about you?

No, it's not that. That's not the true reason.

I saw it in your eyes.

Martin taught me, Attorney.

He taught me that...

if a person looks to the right, it means he's lying.

That's what you just did.

Is that so?

Why do you think I refused you then?

You were afraid to lose.

But you know, it's okay to fail.

Everyone fails.

Even parents fail.

And because everyone fails, everyone should know how to forgive.

But it's okay if you won't handle the case.

We don't have money to pay you.

Unless I pay you by tending your garden again.

I'll make it even more beautiful.

Wait.

You used to help Martin fix the garden?

No.

Martin never fixed your garden. All he ever did was take videos.

I'm not lying.

You can even look at his video camera.

Video camera?

Yes, hidden under his caps collection.

Believe me.

They're so round.

So finely done.

Mommy will be so happy.

She'll think I did it.

But it's all about this guy.

That's him.

Give us a smile.

Oh no! You cut Mommy's bougainvillea!

Just kidding! There.

Hey!

Impressive!

- What was that move? - Stop teasing me!

Delete that!

Nope.

I'll Upload this on YouTube. I'll call it “Zumba Scandal.“

Hashtag HotMama!

- Martin! Delete it! - Okay, sorry! I'll stop!

This is our mobile kitchen!

Look, mom. We have spaghetti, sandwiches and cookies.

We're here with a special guest.

Dad! Say hi to the cam.

Hi, Dad!

Hello.

Hey, guys. These are the kids.

Hi kids!

Hello!

Hi, Ma. This is Julian Junior.

But his nickname is extremely unique.

It's Junjun.

Junjun!

I think half the male population in the Philippines is named Junjun.

I will shoot the ball!

When the time comes, we’re going to show this to your Aunt Amanda.

Okay? Yeah!

Wave to the camera.

- Say hi. Hi Auntie Amanda! - Hello!

You wanna play a game? You have the ball?

One... two... Dunk the ball! It's all over.

Have some cake.

You two are so naughty!

Okay, we'll stop. We'll stop.

You wanna play basketball again later?

Are we talking about it again?

I deserve an apology.

How many times do we have to go back to this?

Martin, can you stop butting in?

I already know, Ma.

I've known for a long time.

I have a brother.

Julian Junior.

You knew?

You knew and you didn't tell me?

Amanda! Please!

What for, Ma?

So you and Pa can fight like you always do?

I'm tired of getting in between your fights!

Martin!

I don't deserve your betrayal!

Betray?

Martin, get out of this!

No, Pa! It's time for her to hear the truth!

It's always about you, Ma!

I'm so tired.

Everyday, I do all I can so you can forgive Papa!

But you're so cold!

Sometimes I'd rather die.

Sure! Join your father in hell! Go!

I told you to stop it Amanda!

If you had enough of me, go! Fuck off!

Go to your family!

- Go to your family! - Amanda!

- When will you stop being so angry? - When will you stop womanizing?

That was all in the past!

Martin?

Martin.

For Martin's.

Ms. Bien, straight to the point.

A most upsetting conflict of interest here.

Your son and the defendant are friends.

They used to be.

Martin passed on.

It changes nothing.

A memory is more powerful.

Lallie, who is she?

Attorney Patricia Celiz. She'll handle our case.

Actually, we just want to be reassured that there's no cause for concern.

Right, Amanda?

There is something I need to tell you.

I thought you were my friend.

I was depending on you.

Do you know what I'm going through here?

Enrollments will go down. We're the punchline of the academic community.

Don't look at me like that.

I have to think of my life work.

I've run out patience with my niece.

Lallie...

maybe it's best if we don't push through with this.

I can just talk to Bessy.

No! You may not talk to my client.

Especially now!

Amanda, do you still have doubts?

There's a sex video.

Yes, I know. But a video is not admissible in the court.

One blink and you are suddenly a lawyer?

While you're playing lawyer...

what has cogently convinced you about the demerits of this case?

Ronald said he and Bessy have an understanding.

Bessy loves Ronald.

Delusional!

Just like her mom.

A black sheep. Why did I take in such a burden?

So I'm still just a charity case to you, Auntie?

A burden?

Not once... Who told you to go down?!

And there's a court case you didn't even tell me about?

Bessy.

- Don't you dare. - Can I talk to you?

- Were you and Ronald a couple? - Don't you dare answer that!

Do you love Ronald?

You, Ms. Bien, are way beyond unethical!

Trying to squeeze a response like that?

See, Lallie I'm right?

She will drag us down.

I asked around, you know.

About your son.

It's none of your business!

My enemy's my business.

I heard you kicked him out.

He did it right in front of you, didn't he?

His suicide?

Now if that does not unhinge you, I don't know what will.

Like I told Lallie, you're not capable!

So that's how it is. Then I'll see you in court.

I'll defend Ronald against you.

Good luck to him.

You couldn't even save your own son, how much more Ronald?

Stop it!

And you brought up Hadassah, that is Esther, his uncle's daughter;

For she had neither father nor mother,

And the maid was fair and beautiful;

Whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead,

Took for his own daughter.

Sweetheart! I have good news! Our son won't get jailed anymore.

Flonron!

Oh, Attorney! Thank you so much!

We've been granted a bail because of Ronald's condition.

He has no previous case. And he isn't a flight risk.

So they're going to call us anytime. Since our case has already been raffled.

But we have a chance, right?

- Well, that's why I'm here... - Oh, you son of a bitch!

- So we can talk about the case... - You fucked someone else last night!

Attorney, give us a moment.

Son, help me shut the windows.

Shut up! I have visitors here!

Julian, God bless you.

Please, have a sit.

Be careful of the glue gun, it's hot, Ms. Amanda.

Please sit down.

So what's going to happen?

- Oh, Attorney! What will we do now? - Sweetheart...

Fionron! I saw your messy room. You haven't finished cleaning it.

Ma, I've cleaned it.

- Ron, I saw it. It was dirty. - But I cleaned it up already.

Just go.

It won't take long.

I'll go with you, Ron.

- Miss Amanda will go with you. - Oh, ok. This way.

Thank you very much.

By the way, I wanted to show you something.

What are you looking for?

It's just here somewhere.

I found it.

It's been here for so long.

Where is it?

Here.

Those were Martin's papers in psychology.

He wanted you to read them because you're a good psycho.

Why didn't he give these?

He said you didn't have time.

Looks okay.

There's one more there, ma'am.

Sorry.

Sorry, Brobro.

Sorry, Brobro.

Really sorry.

He didn't want to show you that.

Martin told me you'd be angry.

Because that's his brother from another mother.

How did that happen, ma'am?

You won't understand.

Attorney had sex with another woman?

Pia was my friend.

Julian hired her as his assistant.

I was in the US then.

I didn't have a clue.

When I got back...

Julian begged for forgiveness.

What they did was really painful.

We have to build up our case.

Let's go for mental incapacity.

Pardon?

Attorney, you mean plead insanity?

Yes.

That Ronald is crazy?

Yes.

Attorney, our son knows what he's doing.

But we have to prove that it wasn't rape.

And given Ronald's condition, how do we prove that he knows what he's doing?

For example, what happens in your neighbor's house...

how does Ronald understand that?

How does he process it?

The court will look into how Ronald knows about sex.

But you know, Martin said...

everybody makes mistakes. That's why everybody should forgive.

It's not that easy to forgive, Ronald.

That's what he said too.

For years, you've been angry.

You didn't even think how hard it was for him.

Fine, Attorney. Let's say that.

My son is having a hard time.

He doesn't know right from wrong.

But it wasn't as if Ftonron got horny then just raped someone.

I understand, Mr. Jimenez.

Oh, that's me.

Look. Rape is not even an act of lust.

It's not about being horny.

Rape is an act of violence.

Oh violence.

With rape, the person proves his power despite his frustrations.

Oh frustrations.

A woman's rejection.

Awareness that he's slow-minded. Easily affected by people's insults.

My Ronald is not like that.

I just wanted to help.

I'm your lawyer.

It's important for me to study all angles so I can help Ftonron the best way I can.

Sampi, he's our lawyer. He's on our team.

Let me ask you.

Does Ronald have violent tendencies?

Yes.

Sometimes.

When he gets mad. But everyone gets mad, right?

Attorney, wait a minute. What does this have to do with our case?

I'm just showing you how a judge thinks.

Ronald's violence plus what he sees here on your television.

Plus your family's unconventional set-up.

Are you saying we taught our kid how to rape?

That's now what I meant.

All I want to say, Mr. Jimenez...

No, Attorney.

That's how you really meant.

That's what you said.

You're brilliant!

You've gone ahead of the judge with your accusations.

Because we're not as pure as you.

You're so perfect! Your family is so perfect!

He even said that your family would've been perfect.

But it's not.

Now you know why the heart is blue?

It's not my heart.

It's Martin's.

‘That's what's wrong with you.

Just because we're comedians, you think this is all a joke to us.

We're already broken!

Do you understand? We're so crushed and broken!

Do you know how painful this is for us?

If your son was accused of rape, would that be okay with you?

Sorry.

I didn't mean to offend you.

But as your lawyer, it's important for me to know the truth.

The truth? You want the truth! Fine!

Wait.

No, Attorney. Just let her be. She'll eventually calm down.

Come here! Come here!

Ouch! Why, Papa?

- Come here! - You're hurting me, 'Pa?

Come here! Admit it! Tell us the truth!

Did you rape your teacher?!

- I'm not a rapist, Papa! - Just admit it!

- Papa, stop it! - Fine!

Keep siding with your son!

Papa, stop it! Enough.

Stop it sampi?

What's wrong with you?!

Enough!

My God.

What else do you want to see, Attorney?

Let's strengthen your case.

Papa... Papa...

Papa, stop it.

Don't be mad at me, Papa!

Papa...

Enough.

Enough.

Enough.

We'll do the interviews later.

Megan...

Ma'am Bessy.

Is that her?

She's quite beautiful in person. On video she's...

Doc, read your medical report again.

Moderate laceration.

Minor bruising.

No semen samples?

Attorney, the incident happened a week before.

I'm sure she has already washed her-

$0, none?

What about bleeding?

I'm sure there should be a trace.

No bleeding.

This is not definitive but indicative of virginity.

I don't want to ask but I have to.

Doctor, was Bessy a virgin when it happened?

Not anymore.

Almost no laceration. Minimal bruising. No semen. No bleeding.

Not a virgin.

Considering that rape requires force.

I'd like to ask you, Doctor.

Is your report conclusive of rape?

Attorney, according to my medical reports, there was penetra...

Answer the question. Is your report conclusive of rape?

Indicative.

Are you sure it was rape?

No.

Silence in court!

No further questions, Your Honor.

Amanda?

Yes?

I'm in the kitchen.

You're friends with Lallie Laperal, right?

Why?

Did you know that Syquia family is a major stockholder of Bonaventure University?

So Paco Syquia is one of them.

WOW!

I can't remember the last time you cooked.

Well, it's been a while since I last saw you in court.

Some things never change.

You're still good.

That's true.

Some things never really change.

You still can't cook fried eggs.

That's never going to change.

Let's eat.

You know, I can't remember the last time we ate together.

It actually feels good.

It's my way of thanking you for taking up Ronald's case.

I can't believe we're able to help our son's friend.

Surreal, isn't it?

Like Martin set it all up.

Yes, so we have to give it our best shot.

We can't fail them.

Right.

Bessy has a bright career in the field of education.

Like almost all of us in the family.

A decent boyfriend who is a member of the school board...

with a good family background.

Not like...

But what happened?

My niece, whom I've treated like my own child...

got mined...

because of her goodwill tutoring a rapist.

That is all, Your Honor.

Mrs. Laperal.

Do you still check the lesson plans of your teachers?

Objection. Irrelevant.

Your Honor, Pm establishing the character of the witness.

Relax, Attorney.

Overruled.

I don't mind answering.

Yes. I spot check their syllabi and lesson plans.

I want quality in my school being an educator myself.

So, how was Bessy's lesson plan?

Or maybe you haven't checked it because she hasn't submitted?

Bessy is sickly.

She has a weak respiratory system so...

So the photos posted on her lnstagram and Facebook...

bar-hopping with her boyfriend.

Ms. Laperal, tell me...

will tequila shots help cure her?

Objection!

Your Honor, I'm testing the credibility of the witness.

I can change the question.

You said Bessy's boyfriend, Paco Syquia, a business developer...

The Syquias are one of the stockholders of the university.

Any relation?

Grandson.

So he’s the grandson of your bigger stockholder and investor?

Was there any pressure from the Syquia family to...

Objection! Misleading!

Your Honor, I'm driving on to something.

Then get to it!

So there is a lot at stake here. Not just rape.

Your name, your university, your investors.

When there's no way out, you'd rather have your niece a victim...

than a willing participant.

Misleading! Conjecture!

Atty. Bien, my patience is running out.

Last question.

If the video didn't leak, would you still be suing?

Hypothetical!

No further questions, Your Honor.

Honestly...

if the video didn't leak, I wouldn't file a case.

Say what you want to say, but you can't deny that there is a rape video.

You're a traitor!

Don't you ever go to the bar again!

I don't plan on coming back to your cheap club.

So cheap!

Hey! Traitor!

Traitor.

- You're a disgusting rotten tarsier! - Oh really?

It's Ronald. Ronald!

Mr. Jimenez, just a moment.

Is it true that you might not be able to graduate?

What will you do now?

What can you say about...

Excuse me. No interviews, please.

Sir, just one.

Please?

DVDs.

Flonron often borrows DVDs from me.

This traitor.

And she had the guts to join us in the feeding?

Wow.

Atty. Bien...

I will send them out if they don't behave.

To continue...

What kind of DVDs?

Porn.

In those pornographic DVDs, are there rape scenes?

Yes, fake ones. It's just acting.

That's even worse.

So rape to him is nothing serious.

Irrelevant, Your Honor.

No basis. Jumping to conclusion.

Let me change the question.

In his gay father's comedy act...

Objection, Your Honor!

You're objecting that his father is gay?

It's your make-up.

It's none of your business.

Your Honor, the career of Ronald's father is irrelevant and immaterial.

For someone delayed like Ronald...

wouldn't he be easily influenced by his environment?

Flephrase the question.

In your comedy acts, does Naldo use rape as a punchline?

Yes.

When there's a handsome customer, he says he wants to get raped.

What's the audience's reaction that our suspect sees?

Laughter. Because it's just a joke.

So rape is just a joke?

Ronald, do you understand?

You need to go to the witness stand.

I thought I didn't have to do that.

Bessy will testify tomorrow.

If you don't testify against that, you'll be imprisoned.

I won't go to prison.

Tomorrow, you'll see. Bessy will tell the truth.

She'll say so herself. It doesn't have to be me.

You're going to depend on the enemy? The person who betrayed you?

Julian. Please.

I'm the lawyer here.

Why are you on trial?

Because Bessy claims you raped her.

That's not true.

Bessy didn't say that.

Bessy loves me.

Ronald.

I'll talk to your parents tomorrow.

Settlement will be our only choice. That's be better than going to prison.

Okay?

Ronald? What are you doing here?

Why are they saying those things?

Are you going to betray me?

I've been quiet because you said it was our secret.

0k, I'll go down.

Hurry up. You might miss him!

Ma.“ Bessy.

Ronald! What are you doing here?

Why?

Let's forget about what happened.

Tell your lawyer you didn't know what you were doing.

They won't imprison you because you're not normal.

I'll say that?

But Ma'am Bessy, I know what we did.

Bessy!

- Get inside! - I know what happened.

No wait!

Bessy, wait! Don't leave me!

Whatever I did... Whatever l did, I'm sorry!

- Ma'am Bessy, don't... - Go away!

Ma'am Bessy...

I will call the police if you don't leave!

Rapist!

Get inside!

Hey! Retard!

Lost?

Where do you think you're going?

Hey, freak!

You've got some balls. What do you think you're doing here?

You're planning to attack Bessy?

Give it to him, Bro!

- Get up! - Go get him!

He's fighting back!

Paco!

Are you okay? You okay, bro?

I dare you!

TTV and get me!

Just try! What?

What? What?

Guard!

Try to get close!

Guard, look at them!

Go on!

Excuse me, sir. For Ronald Jimenez.

Ronald Jimenez?

Talk to your son!

I'm not his father.

I'm his lawyer.

Ronald.

'Nald!

Come here!

Attorney!

Come here.

Didn't I talk to you already?

I told you about your court order. You can't come near Bessy.

I'm sorry.

I'm going to release him.

Okay.

I'm going to talk to your father.

Attorney, please don't tell Papa. He'll beat me.

I'll take care of him.

Ronald?

Oh my God! What have they done to you?

Attorney! Those scumbags!

Those merciless assholes.

We're going to sue them for physical injury.

We have a problem now.

Oh?

Patricia will sure to highlight this.

That Ronald came rushing to Bessy looking for trouble.

There's more here.

You decide which charity to donate these.

Sir, the bed can still fit.

Oh, sure. Get it.

Amanda, today marks one year.

This is what we talked about, right?

Julian.

You know, I was thinking about the case.

Let's just claim that Ronald had no capacity to determine...

between right from wrong.

Just to get this over with.

There's more here! Bring this out as well.

You're going to admit that rape did happen?

But without intent. He didn't know he was raping her.

There's a difference.

Yes, but they'll put him in a mental institution if we do that.

So? For all we know, it'll be better for him.

Is the box there yet?

Sir, we're just waiting for the packaging tape.

How easily you give up on the truth.

The truth?

What is the truth in this case?

Ronald won't even testify.

And worse, the court order was so simple. He didn't even follow that.

I don't understand why we keep on defending this guy.

For Martin.

Ronald is not Martin.

Wake up!

Julian.

Bessy will testify.

Can we at least wait until after tomorrow?

Sir Julian?

Here's the tape.

Sorry it took this long.

It's clear in the medico-legal that there was no struggle.

Why?

I was scared.

He took out something from his pocket.

And what is that?

A screwdriver.

No further questions, Your Honor.

Cross, your Honor.

Proceed.

Ms. Buenaventura...

do you love Paco?

Yes.

Enough to share a life with him?

Yes.

If that's so, then why is your relation on and off?

You've broken up with him five times to be exact.

Objection. Hearsay.

Produce the witness.

Sustained.

Are you happy when you and Paco go out on dates?

Yes.

They why do you use your free tutorials as an alibi?

So you can avoid your dates?

Another objection.

Sustained. Atty. Bien.

I tutor Ronald because he's my friend.

So Ronald is your friend.

Well, he's going to jail if Ronald turns out to be guilty.

And with that menial condition, he will not stand a chance to survive.

Who's going to send him to jail?

You.

You, his friend.

Remember this, Bessy.

You only have this chance.

Your answer will forever change the life of this person.

You may ruin the life of an innocent.

So for the last time.

In front of Ronald Jimenez Jr, who you say is your friend...

I'm asking you...

did Ronald force you to have sex?

Yes.

He forced me.

Attorney, that's not true.

Ma.“ Bessy“.

Your Honor, it's not true.

She didn't even dodge the questions.

The truth always comes out.

The truth will come out!

What are you saying the truth will come out?

I don't know, sweetheart.

Maybe we really made a mistake in raising our child.

Maybe we should have put him into an institution.

What?! What are you saying?

What if our son did rape her?

MY Goodness;!

I didn't complain to God about never getting anywhere in life.

I didn't complain when I gave birth to our child with his defects.

But now, I'm angry at God!

Because I don't know why He let our child do that.

My son did nothing!

He raped her!

Ronald! Ronald no! Ronald, no!

No! Stop it, Ronald!

- Ronald. - Ma'am Amanda...

the gate was open so I just went in.

Julian just bought food. Dora took the day off.

Why? What happened?

Ronald?

Ma'am... ma'am...

Ma'am.

Ma'am Amanda.

What happened?

What?

Nobody believes in me anymore.

That's not true. I do.

Even Papa is starting to believe I raped Ma'am Bessy.

I believe in you.

Julian and I.

Thank you, Ma'am.

Even if we're not family, you still believe in me.

Calm down.

Come in.

No, it's okay.

- It's okay. Just relax. - I'll go now.

Come.

Are you hungry?

I'm okay.

Julian is coming in a while. Just sit here. Are you thirsty?

I'm okay.

Okay, just sit there. I'll just get you water.

Ma'am... why are you watching this?

Watching what?

And...

why...

why is this entitled "rape"?

Ah, it's being studied...

Why? Are you starting to believe them?

That I raped Bessy?

Of course not.

Just calm down.

Have a drink.

You think I did it?

No.

You're just like my parents!

You're on their side! You believe them!

No.

What if I tell everyone I really did it? That I raped Bessy.

Why say it if it's not true?

Why not? You and Attorney said I could!

Then you guys will just say that I don't know what is right from wrong.

Then what?

That I'm insane?

No.

I didn't rape Bessy!

I know. I know what rape is.

- Come! - What are you doing?

You think this was what I did to Bessy?

- Let go of me! - Wait! Come here!

Stop it!

Let go of me, Ron! Let go of me!

Stop it! Let go of me, Ronald!

You think this is was what I did to Ma'am Bessy, right?

Ma'am Amanda, I know what rape is!

I've seen it on movies!

Ronald, let 90..

This is rape, right?

This is rape.

Ronald!

Look. There! That's it.

That.

That's what rape looks like. That.

Scared.

That wasn't how Bessy looked like because I didn't rape her!

Do you understand?

What's happening here? What is this?

- I didn't do anything wrong! - What's going on?

What the hell are you doing here?

This is how you repay us!

Why don't you all believe me?

Is it because I'm like this?

Ma'am Bessy loves me!

Enough!

Enough, Julian!

What you're thinking is wrong!

Wrong?! Why are you defending him?!

Julian!

Stop it!

Enough!

He's just trying to explain...

Ronald?

Ronald!

Amanda!

No! Martin!

Ronald!

Ronald!

Martin!

I'm sorry!

I understand now. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

This is the last day. You don't have to watch this.

Ma'am, where's Attorney?

All rise.

The honorable Feiiciana S. Nieves is now presiding.

Call the case.

Criminal case number 7412.

People of the Philippines versus Ronald Jimenez Jr.

Appearances.

For the private prosecution, Attorney Patricia Celis, Your Honor.

For the accused, Ronald Jimenez Jr, Attorney Julian Bien, Your Honor.

For the record, Atty. Bten’s motion to exempt the same is denied.

Please present your witness.

May we call On Ronald Jimenez Jr., Your Honor.

According to your sworn testimony, when you saw Paco hurting Bessy...

at a bar and at school, didn't you get mad?

A little.

So you're a little mad at the woman who rejected you?

But she lets others hurt her.

Were you mad when you saw her at the garden shed?

Yes but...

Were you mad when you had sex?

Yes.

I mean no. No.

There you go.

Your slow brain is failing you.

It's your statement, you said that you held Bessy‘s hand.

What did you do, Ronald?

I squeezed it. Like this.

Then?

I tried kissing her.

What was her first reaction?

She backed off.

She was shocked.

Backed off?

Then...

Look at this video.

You said she backed off...

then why are you on top of her?

Attorney, that's not how it happened.

Not like that!

Here, she stopped you but you just kept on going.

I can't remember anymore.

I know your brain is weak.

But your memory is good, right?

Just try to recall that moment.

Ma'am Bessy...

Ma'am Bessy...

You're talking to me.

Why didn't you stop when she asked you to?

But isn't that how it is?

What do you mean?

In "Titillating Teachers in Love Part 4".

"Titillating Teachers In Love"?

The DVD I borrowed from Miriam.

There, even when the girl screams "Stop it! Stop it!"...

the guy doesn't stop.

What's your husband doing?

I have no idea.

Ronald, do you own a screwdriver?

Yes.

Which you used when you had a fight with Paco Syquia?

Yes, Attorney but...

You had with you when you had sex with Bessy?

Yes, I didn't take it out.

Objection, Your Honor!

Is Atty. Bien working now for the prosecution?

Attorney, why are you objecting?

I'm helping you.

It's still his witness.

Proceed, Atty. Bien.

Ronald, are people like you capable of loving?

Yes, of course.

So you are?

Even if they call you an idiot, slow-minded, retarded...

abnormal...

mental?

Yes.

Do you love your parents?

Of course, Attorney.

If you love them, then why didn't you tell them the truth?

What really happened?

Attorney, enough.

Sit down.

I can't, Attorney. No, I can't tell.

You love Bessy, but when she rejected your kiss, you went on top of her?

That's not how it happened.

Attorney...

You don't understand.

Who can tell what really happened?

All the testimonies say you're a violent retard.

You know what's right and wrong...

but when you can't get what you want, you do what's wrong.

You say she loves you, and only she can prove that you're innocent.

But she said you forced her to have sex with you.

She doesn't love you.

She’s scared of your screwdriver. You're nothing to her.

She doesn't care if you rot in jail or at the mental hospital.

Is that what you mean by love?

Ma'am Bessy...

All right, talk to her.

Ask for forgiveness for what you've done.

Because retarded people like you don't have the right to love.

You don't have the right to love.

Enough!

Bessy, sit down.

Order in the court.

Miss Buenaventura, sit down.

Say it.

But isn't it...

isn't it just between us?

It's okay.

Tell the truth.

No more secrets, Ronald.

Ronald, don't!

Why, ma'am Bessy?

Why? Because I'm like this?

I know it's hard to love someone like me.

Ronald, I'm no different.

Me, too.

My own mother rejected me. I was just taken in.

A burden.

Every one of them laughs at my mistakes.

Ronald, this world is not for us.

Ifs for the smart, the strong, the great...

but not for us.

Ma'am Bessy, that's not true.

I'm lucky, too.

I'm lucky because...

I have a mother, a father, a school...

a job and I have you.

Doesn't that make me lucky?

You're lucky.

Because you're loved.

My sweet, innocent Ronald.

I hope no one hurts you.

Ma'am Bessy.

Even when they all laugh at me...

I don't get hurt.

But when I see you get hurt, that's when I get hurt.

Get off! Get off! Enough!

Ronald!

Ronald, let go! Enough!

Ronald, enough!

Wait! Enough!

Stop it!

Ma'am Bessy, why?

What am I going to do?

Ma'am Bessy, sorry.

Sorry, ma'am.

Wait.

Ma'am Bessy.

- Ma'am Bessy, wait! - Ronald.

What did I do wrong.

Let's talk. Ma'am Bessy, wait.

Let's talk. What did I do?

Ma.“ Bessy“

I knew what I was doing. And I know what I feel for you.

Trust me, Ma'am Bessy.

Ronald, if you really love me, you'll just keep this a secret.

No one will know about this. No matter what happens.

Promise me. Promise?

Ma'am Bessy...

are we now a couple?

If so, you have to say "I love you too, Ronald."

Right?

Say, "I love you, Ronald."

If you keep this is a secret and no one finds out...

then I love you.

But if anyone finds out, then I don't love you anymore.

- Your Honor, I move for a recess. - Ls it true what Ronald said?

Don't say anything, Bessy. You'll ruin our case.

Don't you dare!

My client is indisposed, your Honor!

Silence!

I want to hear her answer.

Bessy...

our reputation.

Bessy...

It's true.

Then why did you have to on; Out rape?

I was shocked.

No. I was ashamed.

I was ashamed of Ronald.

I was ashamed of giving into him.

I was ashamed of the one person who truly loved me.

Ronald, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I lied.

But...

you still love me, right?

Yes, I love you.

But not in the way you want me to.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Ronald.

Bessy, where are you going?

Order in the court!

Order in the court!

Order in the court!

Ronron, your visitors are already here!

. Yes, I'm coming! Ronron, hurry!

Ronald! Hurry!

There he is!

I am the champion.

I have won over my miseries.

No one can tell I'm wrong...

in every moment all I remember is you.

I am the champion.

- A round of applause! - Fag!

That's my money!

Son?

What are you doing down here? We're celebrating your win, upstairs.

Son...

I know it's hard for you to understand what happened.

And I know how painful it must be.

But that's really how life is.

That's normal.

Everyone loves and gets hurt.

Especially handsome young men like you.

Mama, please.

Back then, I was like that.

When I was a teenage girl there was a man who broke my heart.

It hurt so bad...

I wanted to stop being gay.

Really?

Of course not! Can you imagine your mama straight?

No.

Who would've known your Papa would come into my life?

In my gayness, I ended up with a woman.

I mean...

one day, you'll also find someone who will love you completely.

And maybe even more than you could love them.

Really? Even if I'm like this?

Like what?

Abnormal?

Don't listen to those judgmental assholes.

Everyone has his own abnormality.

Be grateful...

that your face is not your problem because you got it from your Papa.

Just imagine if you got it from me.

There's a smile!

I'm so grateful.

Your heart is not abnormal.

It's really wonderful.

I love you very much.

Are you okay, now?

No more drama, okay?

Let's go upstairs.

Let's g0 UP-

Come.

I still want to sing. It's my song number.

I'm next.

Where is Amanda?

She's in her room.

Where are you going?

To Yvette, in Canada.

While I wait for the annulment papers.

Are you serious about signing the documents?

That's what I promised you, right?

I asked you to just accept the case.

But you even won it.

So I guess...

Here we are.

Actually, I've had the papers for a long time already.

I honestly didn't know if I wanted to give them to you.

I no longer want to push through. But...

I honestly don't know why I should sign this.

It doesn't make sense anymore.

You know, Amanda...

if there's someone who has the right to leave, it's you.

I wasn't a good husband.

I know what I did is unforgivable.

But for all it's worth, I'm sorry, Amanda.

You know...

I still want to be mad at you...

but, even if I try, I'm not angry anymore.

Ever since we handled Ronald's case...

something in me changed.

I learned one thing...

that Martin's trying to teach us.

Forgiveness.

My parents told me...

we're all like plants.

We wilt, we die.

But it's all right.

Because we can always plant again.

We can begin again.

They tell! Me to look up and keep on dreaming.

Ifs better to reach for the sun, than to just give up.

Jimenez, Ronald Jr.

We are not alone.

There will always be people who will support you.

They’ll take care of you as much as they can.

They will always give whatever they can.

The storms will keep coming...

but you’ll survive depending on the soil you're planted on.

Me?

My parents are my soil.

No matter how hard ii gets, how hard I fall...

they'll always be there.

"Helping me".

Until I can do it.
