Do you have concerns
that you want to talk about?

What's this for again?

Just an assessment,
a psychological evaluation.

Hi, sorry. Aren't you having lunch?

I'll finish this consultation first.

We'll just have lunch here.

-Please lock the door for me.
-Okay. Sorry.

Okay.

Sorry about that.

I can only attend to outside clients
during lunch time.

Do they know?

You probably don't get clients my age.

It's not common here,

but surprise pregnancies in your forties
aren't that unusual.

I probably don't need much counseling.

Don't think of it as counseling.
We'll just have a chat.

You might have some worries or concerns.

Okay. So…

We can just talk about
your medical history.

You have polycystic ovaries.

Yes, that's why…

I never imagined this happening to me.

How many cigarettes a day?

INCOMING CALL - MOM

So that's it?

Alice…

You can stay until the end of the week.

Of course. We already broke up.

We can still fix this, Alice. Please.

One week?
Seriously, are you on your period?

You can always stay
with your bandmates or something.

You think it's that fucking easy?

That's really not my problem, Ben.

Who do you think you are?

Who comes begging whenever we break up?

You can't even last
without a man in your life.

You're 40.

You think other guys
will be interested in you?

I'm going to bed.

Ben!

Ben, I said…

You should sleep downstairs.

Ben…

stop pretending to be asleep.

Go sleep on the couch, Ben.

I don't want you beside me.

Ben.

This can't happen again.

No! I said no!

GONNA STAY AT ALEX'S FOR A WHILE.
WILL CLEAN UP MY MESS

WHEN I GET BACK. I LOVE YOU.

Fuck.

At least you broke up
before you found out.

There's no turning back now.

Fuck… I'm so stupid.

Are you gonna eat that?

Sorry.

I could eat a horse right now.

My kids are driving me crazy.

Even Lito. You'd think
I have three kids instead of two.

You had sex with Ben, hadn't you?

Killer shoes, huh?

You can have them.

We're not the same size, sis.

You bought it, you wear it.

If I were you,
I'd pack Ben's stuff myself.

That loser might get
something that isn't his.

Come on, Ben's not a thief.
Don't act like that.

What about the guitar? You bought that.

You want me to take it back?
What am I, ten?

Suit yourself.

But you need to start packing his stuff
or he'll end up staying for another year.

There'll be more drama
and you'll sleep with him again.

Sis, keep an eye on your hormones.

I have an idea.

I'll go to your place
and help you pack up.

Lorna, please.

I'll handle it myself, okay?

He told me no one would ever want me
because I'm too old.

What?

-That motherfucker!
-Hey!

What an asshole.

It disgusts me
that it made me feel insecure.

That's why you had sex with him?

-That was breakup sex.
-Oh, God.

Nothing new.

Whatever.

Hey, Lorna.

Have you heard from your contact?

Calm down.
It's not that easy to get an appointment.

Make sure to go over
the readings and videos I sent you.

Memorize them by heart.

Let's go, then.

-I have a video call in 15 minutes.
-Go ahead.

I'm going for a smoke.

I wanna smoke too.

Bitch, you can hardly finish a stick.

Cigs are expensive now.

Wait, this is for your appointment.

Hello!

Yeah?

At least she found out this early, right?

Yes.

That's Monday, right?

Still in the same area?

Oh, okay. I don't wanna go to jail either.

Okay. I'll see you soon.

All right. See you! Bye!

There you go.

She'll see you next Monday.

Make sure you file for a leave.

Thanks, Lorns.

Anya…

Anya!

Luis is coming with you to Iligan.

Luis who?

The IID researcher.
You met him last week, right?

Yes, but I thought we didn't have budget?

Three more are coming.

I'll handle the request
so Luis can be with you all the time.

Wow, Gus. What's this?
You're sending someone to supervise me?

There you go again, Alice.

We're getting support.
Stop making an issue out of it.

I just don't like another--

It's fine, Alice. Okay?

Let's just be grateful
it's pushing through.

What's going on here?

They declared Martial Law.

Fuck!

Fuck, I can't reach anyone!

Aisha, were you able to call your family?

No. We have poor signal at home.

They live in what area?

Hey… It's going to be okay.

Listen, you can just give me their names.

We can't do anything more tonight
because it's late.

But I'm sure I can get some news tomorrow.

Don't worry, we will look for them.

How are you going home tonight?

I'll just ride a jeepney.

Let me just book you a ride
so you'll be home early.

You don't have to be
in the office tomorrow.

-Let's just contact each other, okay?
-Thank you.

Guys, you're the only ones here. Go home.

We have a lot to do tomorrow.
Get some rest.

Is that why you broke up with me?

Ben, I'm tired.
I don't have the energy for another fight.

You're really gonna keep this from me?

There's no point. I'm getting rid of it.

That's my baby too!

Alice!

Alice, come on! Let's talk about this!

Alice!

That's my baby too! Open the fucking door!

Ben, if you destroy that door,
you're gonna have it fixed!

See?

You can't even afford that.

How much more to raise a child?
Get the fuck out of my house!

Does the father know?

Sorry?

Does the father know?

Yes.

How did he react?

We broke up and…

Were you referring to the father?

Martial Law is a lazy solution

to a huge problem.

And yet he plans to declare Martial Law
in the whole country!

Hey.

This will not just be limited to Mindanao,
or Visayas, but the whole country!

You forgot to lock your door again.

Mom?

Can you switch that off?
It's making me anxious.

Mom, why didn't you tell me
you were coming?

I would've if you answered my calls.

I'm sorry.

You didn't have to buy me groceries.

Just making sure you won't kick me out.

So who's cooking dinner?

I'll do it.

Your adobo is hard to chew.

If you want an easy-to-cook adobo,

you should use chicken, not pork.

Pork takes too long to cook.

Also, simmer it in low heat.

You said you wanted pork.

I know I did.

Pork adobo is good,
especially when you reheat it.

And add more bay leaves and peppercorn.

I could hardly taste them.

That childish man of yours,
is he gonna have dinner here?

Ben and I broke up.

You two always break up.

I'll do the dishes.

Look at your sponge!

It's filthy!

Replace this.

Don't forget to heat water.

You need to soak these in hot water.
The dishes are too oily.

Do you want coffee?

I got it from Sagada.
It's really good. You'll like it.

It's late.
You shouldn't be drinking coffee.

Suit yourself. But I'm having one.

Is there anything you need to tell me?

Like what?

Why did you break up with Ben?

Mom, I'm not in the mood
to talk about Ben.

Is this what you want?

You weren't answering my calls
because you're onto something.

Do you even understand what you're doing?

What's this?

I quit smoking already.

-I never said--
-Stop playing dumb with me!

I also planned on getting an abortion
when I found out I was pregnant with you.

You're already 40! Do you think
you can still get pregnant after this?

Use your head!

I'll set up a prenatal checkup for you.

I'll go with you on Saturday.

Mom…

We need to know
if the child is still alive.

You're still drinking coffee and smoking!

Is he a kid?

Of all people, he whined to my mom!

And what ticks me off
is the fact that I've quit smoking…

Hand me the tape, please.

But smoking's all my mom could think of!

Well, the cigarettes were yours.

That's not the point.

Don't you get it? Whose side are you on?

Ben told my mom about my pregnancy!

The thing is,
he knows how controlling my mom is

and he's trying to get back at me.

Mom and I will go
to the doctor on Saturday.

Did you hear me?

Huh? Uh…yes…

You'll go to the doctor
on Saturday with your mom.

Exactly.

They didn't care about me then,
now they're concerned?

It's just a baby, not cancer.

What did you say?

Alice, we've been working here
since 7:00 a.m.

Do you even hear yourself?

We're repacking donations
for the displaced,

and all you can talk about
is your dick of a boyfriend?

A little sense of perspective, please?
It's exhausting.

It's not a baby.

I said it's not a baby.

Not a baby.

Sorry.

I'm sorry for what I said.

It was uncalled for.

Forget about it.

Lito has cancer.

I won't report to work tomorrow.

We'll try to get a second opinion.

Have you told Gus?

I don't want to preempt anything.

Who knows?

Lorna,

will you still come with me on Monday?

I mean, I understand if you can't.

Don't be stupid.
Of course I'll go with you.

How will you get there
when you don't know where it is?

Here.

What's this?

So you can stay while I smoke.

Whatever happens,

don't admit anything to your mom.

I don't want to get into trouble.

This smells like a baby.

The mask smells like a baby.

Give it to me.

Let's spray some on it.

There.

Oh, my God.

Did you swallow your vomit?

I didn't want it spreading on my face.

Just stop smoking!

Good evening.

-Good evening.
-Someone's been waiting for you.

How have you been?

I just puked in the bathroom.

Are you going to report that
to my mom too?

It wasn't me who called Grace.

She called me
because she's been worried about you.

And since she's your mom,

Here, I'll give you a massage.

It's just a massage.

Did you shave?

You always complain about my stubbles.

Pretty smooth, right?

Why are you here?

Why did you change the locks?

You don't live here anymore, remember?

Can't I visit?

We already broke up.

My stuff is still here.

I packed them already.

Bring them.

Where are you staying now?

I'm not telling you.

Why do you wanna know?

You're just gonna tease me anyway.

You went back to your mom?

No way.

Where did you put my stuff?

In the room at the back.

Is this everything?
How about my stuff from the bedroom?

That's all of it.

Where's my guitar?

I bought that.

You're really gonna take back your gift?

Excuse me,

but who just whined to my mom for backup?

Of course I'd tell your mom.
You're planning to kill my baby!

Ben.

Ben.

Ben!

You can't sleep here.

How about your mom?

My mom?

What about her?

I grew up without my mom.

I was very young
when she left to work overseas, so…

But does she know about this?

Is that even important?

She was still smoking
when she found out she's pregnant.

That's not good.

Especially since this
is a high-risk pregnancy.

Excuse me, ma'am.

Doctor, I already quit smoking.

Okay, ready?

It's a little cold, okay?

-Are we okay now?
-Wait, don't move.

Heartbeat is normal.

Doc, where's the head of the baby?

This is the head, ma'am.
We can't see much yet, it's pretty early.

Are we done now?

Not yet.

Stop fidgeting!
She's capturing images of the baby.

Hold on, okay?

Maybe that's enough?

-Can I get up now?
-Wait, you haven't even seen the baby!

Okay, we're done.

Ma'am, maybe you can just wait outside?

I just need to talk to her alone.

Can't I listen?

We can talk later.
We'll just discuss some daily precautions.

I'll wait outside.

Come to my office when you're done, okay?

That's how mothers are
with their first grandchild.

Don't stress about it.

Everything looks fine.

Don't be scared.

Can we meet again in two weeks?

I just want to remind you
that the first trimester is very crucial.

So many women experience
miscarriage at this stage.

Do you still experience morning sickness?

Take it two times a day
to help prevent a miscarriage.

Alice, can I see the sonogram again?

I think it's a boy.

It's too early to tell.

But look at it! Isn't that a boy?

Take it. There'll be another one anyway.

No, no, no. You should keep this.

Did I tell you about the time
I also thought of having you aborted?

-But then…
-You've told me so many times.

-But I was never able to tell you--
-Mom!

Please.

I have a headache.

Excuse me.
Could we drop my mom off at the corner?

Mom, you don't have to.
It's paid via credit card.

You can stop here.

Thank you.

Alice, maybe I can have the sonogram.
There'll be another one anyway.

Not bad.

Ouch! God damn it!

What happened to you?

I was just clumsy.

What are you doing here?

Who let you in?

I'll get the rest of my stuff
to get out of your way.

I'll wash them later.
The faucet was just leaking.

So you bought new shoes instead?

I'll just wash my mug.

-Wait! Don't turn the faucet on!
-Switch off the main source!

I'm sorry.

I'll fix the faucet.
Do you have the tools?

Don't bother. I'll call a plumber.

-Let me.
-I said not to bother!

Why do I have to keep repeating myself?

You can't fix things.
Why do you keep insisting?

I just wanted to help.

I don't need your help, okay?

So please, pack up your things
and get out of my house.

Seriously?

You'll smoke in front of me
when you know I'm pregnant?

You're planning to kill our baby anyway.

I'm sorry.

Just a sec. I'm coming out.

I'll get my stuff now.

Alice!

Jen!

Hi!

-What happened to my brother's shirt?
-It's nothing.

-What's that? Did Ben do that to you?
-No. That's just from my stupidity.

Ben forgot these. Give it to him.

Our office just moved near the university.

Oh, we're in the same city now!

Let's have dinner on Friday.
You can't say no--

Wait a fucking second! You're the one
who asked me for a favor.

We'll go ahead. I'll just message you.

-Take care! See you!
-Let's go, Jen!

Alice?

Alice…

Sorry, what's the question again?

I just wanted to know
if you have any more questions.

Will the procedure be done here?

No.

Your schedule is on Thursday, 11:00 p.m.

-Thursday?
-Yes.

Wasn't I scheduled for tonight?

No, I'm sorry.
We couldn't find a doctor for tonight.

Are you okay?

How about tomorrow?

Isn't there another way?
What about those pills?

We don't have access to abortion pills
that are guaranteed safe…

Hey, are you okay?

What happened?

Alice?

Hey, wait a sec.

Alice, please talk to me.

Hey!

Wait! Where are we going?

Hang on…

Here.

We're near my place. Let's just go there.

I really don't want
to be pregnant anymore.

I'm telling you, don't even think
about buying pills online.

You might get caught
in an entrapment operation.

Can you still come with me on Thursday?

I'll try.

Actually, Lito needs
to start his chemotherapy.

But you can always call me when it's done.

I'll pick you up.

The waiting time's long, anyway.

Alice?

You're scaring me.

Take that one.
Let's see who can swing higher.

For fuck's sake, Alice, stop it.

If you want to miscarry,
I shouldn't have made appointments.

I can miscarry this way?

Are you done?

Not yet.

I still have to make dinner.

Am I making the right decision?

Isn't this what you wanted?

What's going on with you?

Why? Isn't that what this is all about?

Hey.

I wasn't judging you.

All of us don't want to end up alone.

You don't need to come on Thursday.

Don't be stupid.

They won't allow you
to leave unaccompanied.

So enough with this drama!

Call me on Thursday so I can pick you up.

Where are you going?

Hey.

Do you have another one?

Of course.

I'm Jerome, by the way.

Alice.

Cool neighborhood, isn't it? Pretty quiet.

Sorry. I realize we ruin
the quiet sometimes.

We just had a baby.

Yeah, I noticed.

You're often outside.

For cigarette breaks.

I need it sometimes.

Does your partner
get cigarette breaks too?

She's breastfeeding.

She quit a long time ago.

We wanted to have a baby for so long.

And when she quit smoking,
she finally got pregnant.

If you want to have kids,
you should probably quit too.

Not all women want to be a mother.

Thanks for the smoke.

Right now, Marawi is in crisis

and Martial Law was declared in Mindanao.

This happened after the botched
counterterrorism operation on May 23…

Shit!

…to arrest Isnilon Hapilon's group…

Sorry, I forgot to switch it off.

-Can you hold it for a sec?
-Sure.

This will take a while.

I have to pee.

…Maute brothers in Marawi.
Some hostage-takings still take place.

There are many evacuees…
78,466 families have been displaced.

That's around 359,682 individuals.

So Marawi still needs a lot of help,
especially in the evacuation camps…

You're pregnant too?

These candies help with my nausea.
Just pop one and you'll be fine.

Thank you. I'll head back.

You're welcome.

Thank you so much. Thank you.

Guys, let's have a short meeting.

-Just an update.
-Thanks, Ms. Nica!

Just do that later.

Okay.

There has been some development.
We finally got a permit to enter the city.

Ground zero is still off-limits
due to ongoing airstrikes.

We will be joining our friends
from the media.

We'll go in, assess the situation,
and then leave right away.

But only Alice and Luis can come.

The rest of the team will concentrate
on the evacuation centers in Iligan.

-When is this again?
-The day after tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

-Yes, Anya's already in Manila.
-But I can't!

-I mean…
-She filed for a leave, Gus.

I'll go after you.

Are you serious?

Didn't you insist that
you need to be there ahead of everybody?

So, what's the problem?

I'll pay for my own ticket.

So, who's available?

I can fly tomorrow. We can just meet Alice
at the headquarters.

If that's okay?

Okay, then. Thanks, everyone.

Come here. Let me brief you a bit…

Didn't you say it was going to be a boy?

No one said that.

The doctor didn't say anything.

It's too early to know.

Where should I put these mangoes?
In the fridge?

Are these really mine?

They don't… look familiar.

They're yours,
but you never got to wear them.

They just gathered dust in Hong Kong.

I never got to send them
since your grandma said it won't fit you.

She told me to send money instead.

Well, I was never sure how big you were
because she never sent me pictures.

That's why I'm so excited
to be a grandmother.

I'm gonna spoil my grandchild.

Have you eaten?

I'm not hungry.

I'll cut some mangoes.

That shrimp paste I bought is really good.

Aren't you craving for anything yet?

No.

You finished the ice cream
I brought last time.

You should take it easy on the sweets.

Diabetes runs in the family.

You bought the ice cream.

Well, I didn't tell you to finish it all.

When I was pregnant with you,

your grandmother would force me
to drink disgusting herbal tea.

No cravings allowed.

So instead of getting bigger,
I lost a lot of weight.

It was a good thing
there was Nutribun back then.

My friends always say,

"It's more exciting
to become a grandma than a mother."

Let me borrow my grandchild, alright?

I want to show off our genes.

To be honest,
all of their grandkids are so ugly.

I just couldn't tell them.

Don't forget to drink milk every day
so you won't lose your teeth.

But you're not gonna be a grandma!

You had a miscarriage?

No.

Why are you always so angry with me?

What did I ever do to you?

This has nothing to do with you.

It's my body so it's my decision.

Then you cut your own mangoes!

How's Lito?

Why are you dressed up?

I'm going out to dinner later.

Can I borrow your lipstick?

-Does it look okay?
-Let me.

I didn't go to my appointment.

I said I didn't go
to my abortion appointment.

Oh, shit! Shall I call again?
I can do that.

You don't have to, Lorna.

Are you sure?

What happened?

Nothing.

Nothing happened.

Was it Ben?

Come on, Lorna.

Is it impossible for me to feel like
I could be a mother too?

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

Dammit.

Jen.

Yeah, I'm having a hard time
booking a ride.

There are no cabs either.

Fuck.

Shit.

Jen?

Jen!

Let me drive you to your dinner.
It's on the way.

Alice, wait!

Alice!

I know you're running late.

Jen asked me to pick you up
because I was in the area.

Just let me drive you there.

Why are you using Jen's car?

I borrowed the car
because I needed it more for my job.

I finally found one.

It's still music-related,
but it's a steady gig with better pay.

Did you just fart?

Holy shit, that was you?

Shit, that's strong!

We'd been together for years,
you never farted around me.

So that was why.

I'm sorry, okay?

You can't control it when you're pregnant.

Pull over here.

I can't.
The entrance is on the other side.

It's fine. I can walk.

It's an illegal stop.

So you haven't…

At least now I'd keep the windows open
when giving you a ride.

That fart was fucking impressive,
I can still smell it!

You're already late
and you even stank up Jen's car.

Wait.

I'll pick up Jen later.
Shall I drive you home?

I'll just pick up something in the office
then I'll come back for you.

Fine.

Jen!

Alice!

-Hi.
-Hi!

Oh. Sorry, I had one already.
I'll ask the waiter to pour you a glass.

No, thanks.

But it's really good!

-Is it…
-Yes. It's Ben's.

Oh, my God. Are you serious?

Oh, my God, does this mean
I'm going to be an aunt?

Oh, my God!
I'm going to be the best aunt ever!

Wait, does this mean
you're getting back together?

What's with the tone?

Don't mind me. I'm just happy for you.

You know…

my brother sucks at relationships,

but I know he's good with kids.

This is where you live now?

Now I can walk to the office.

Anyway, I'll have
the donation box delivered

and you'll get it in about two days.

Thank you too! Anyway, don't bother
moving to the front seat.

Make Ben look like a chauffeur.

You really won't move to the front seat?

-Hey, wait!
-Sorry. I thought you didn't want to move.

I'm moving, okay?

Are we really not going to talk?

About what?

Even if it's just
with the prenatal checkups.

I have healthcare benefits.

I know.

Miss…

Was I asleep for too long?

Not really. Just a few minutes maybe.

I have some Ibuprofen.
It might help with your migraine.

No, thanks. I'm allergic.

You need something from me?

My aunt wanted me to give you this.

-Wow, palapa!
-Yes.

We want to thank you
because my parents got to Iligan safely.

Thanks for this too.

How come I don't get any?

Just kidding.

Hey, don't forget our dinner later, okay?

I knew it.

Hello?

Hang on. The connection is choppy.

-Let me talk to him.
-They still haven't entered the city?

We stated that in our letter
that they received.

I'm the only one removed from the list.

Why are they like this?

Conference room in 15 minutes, okay?

TO BEN: WILL YOU COME WITH ME
IN MY NEXT APPOINTMENT?

Have you booked a flight?

-Alice!
-I'm sorry, what?

When's your flight?

The earliest I could get is on Saturday.

Gus, maybe you can try
to talk to the commanding officer?

It might help.

I kinda feel like
they don't like talking to women.

Yes, they're just in Iligan right now.
But Anya left to join the foreign press.

At least she got inside.
She'll send me a report tonight.

I don't think it's a good idea
she left the team.

This is a humanitarian mission.

We'll go ahead, guys.

-Bye!
-Bye!

Bye!

Hey, let's go home!
What are you still doing?

Filling out my health declaration form.

Since when did we have that?

It's a new policy
after what happened to Ed last year.

Well, I'll just smoke
and wait for you outside. Hurry up.

Who's your new neighbor?

You mean the shirtless guy?

That's Jerome.

He moved in last month.

Cutie.

I find him kinda creepy.

Oh, no! Has my timer go off?

I already switched off the oven.

Well, look at that.

Wow!

-Now hand me that wine.
-You know I'm not allowed to drink.

Bitch, that's for me.

Practice your self-restraint.
You're the only one pregnant here.

Yes, I still remember that.

But seriously…

When I got pregnant, Lito was like,

The Sid and Nancy comparison
is quite a stretch.

It's not.

I really got scared
that one night when Ben…

There you go again.
That was literally one time.

We just get pretty intense when we fight.

What a dummy.

And you call yourself a feminist?

You sound like your mom.

Hey…

Bad mama.

You think I'm gonna be a bad mom?

I was kidding.

Of course you can have
a glass of wine now and then.

When did I say you're gonna be a bad mom?

You make it pretty obvious.

I could read it from your face when I said
I'm flying to Iligan on Saturday.

But why would you push through anyway?

It's not…

It's not that dangerous in Iligan.

Girl…

You're not even through
your first trimester

and you want to go in the middle of war?

I'm not flying there to go to war.

I'm the head of the project--

I didn't say you need
to leave the project.

All I'm saying is,

try to think
about the child you're carrying.

Fine.

You get the Best Mom Award.

Where did that come from?

God damn it!

Of course I don't!

You're the only one
pretending you can do everything.

I had an abortion, okay?

I couldn't do it either.

So I don't understand why you're furious…

I'm really sorry.

I'll clean this up.

Why didn't you tell me?

Well, I just puked now.

I meant the abortion, idiot.

I don't know.

Did you regret it?

You got a new faucet?

Do you still experience spotting?

Not anymore.

It's not prohibited, but…

sometimes, there can be
a little bleeding or spotting after.

It's better to be safe.

You're still in your 12th week.

You aren't done
with your first trimester, okay?

Okay.

I'd also advise you
to take a leave from work.

You need some bed rest.

Just for a week.

Okay?

But that's just advice, right?

-Yeah.
-Do I really need to do that?

Yeah, but it's very strong advice.

But we do understand that not all mothers
can afford to take a leave from work.

Doc, do we still need
to use a condom for sex?

I mean, she's pregnant anyway.

Well, condoms
don't just prevent pregnancy.

Okay.

Take it.

Thank you, Doc.

-Bye!
-Bye!

Hello?

What?

No…

Okay. Send it to me. Bye.

This is why I keep saying that
Anya should never leave the team!

-All right.
-Let me speak to him.

-Yeah, good afternoon.
-Okay…

-Thank you so much.
-I just heard the news.

-Bye, and I'll see you soon.
-Yes, copy that.

Of course we understand.

That's probably best.

They're giving us more escorts
but movement is restricted.

You're pregnant?

Yeah. Just around three months
so it isn't showing.

First trimester?

Okay…

is there anything else to discuss?

-I can--
-No, I mean you can't go to Mindanao.

No, too dangerous.
It's your first trimester.

but I'm not your wife.
And you are not my boss.

I'll call IID.

What now?

Do you want me to take you out
on a spa date tomorrow?

No, wait.
I'll just bring you some halo-halo.

How about I make you clean my bathroom?

I'll just take a leave.

Finally.

That would be best.

Isn't that what the doctor advised anyway?

I just couldn't stand
Gus' face when he told me.

I wanted to punch him.

-That was fast. My ride is here.
-Hey, let's just share the ride.

But Ben is over there, waiting for you.

I'll go ahead.

Why didn't you just wait
inside the office?

It's fine. I was writing.

You didn't have work today?

My work starts late.
I didn't want to go back to Parañaque

only to drive back to Quezon City.

How's Grace?

Still mad at your mom?

I wasn't mad at my mom.

It's her birthday tomorrow.

Really?

Please send her my greetings.

I'm sure she'll be happy when you tell her
she's gonna be a grandma.

Ben, please don't smoke here.

Sorry, I thought you were asleep.

Where are you going?

Work.

-This late?
-Well, it's television.

The schedule's erratic.

Go back to sleep.

I'll text you later.

You sure I can take home
all these leftovers?

The pancit palabok wasn't even touched.

Grace! I'll take the pancit palabok too.

Don't touch that!

That's for the condo's security guard.

You didn't tell me you were coming.

Hi! Are you Alice?

I'm Josie, an old friend of your mom's.

Grace! She looks exactly like you when
I first met you in Hong Kong!

Such a beauty!

-Have you eaten?
-Grace, I'll head home okay?

Thank you for all these leftovers.
Happy birthday again!

Thank you!

It was so nice to finally meet you.

Bye, Grace!

Mom, I brought you cake.

I guess I'll just put it in the fridge.

You can include the rest of the food,

unless you're hungry.

I'm okay. I already ate.

It looks good on you.

You look beautiful wearing that gown.

Is it yours?

No.

Not this crown.

But I had this gown made a long time ago.

Remember your lawyer ex?
I thought you guys would get married.

You mean Joel?

Mom! He was a serial womanizer.

Well, he's no different from the guy
who got you pregnant.

You think I was jumping for joy
when I found out Ben got you pregnant?

It's a good thing
you decided to get an abortion.

Can you imagine

if my first grandchild
ended up looking like that ugly man?

Are we gonna fight again, Mom?

Well, that's really up to you.

Who showed up late for my party, anyway?

Happy birthday.

Ben, why are you still here?

Oh, my God, look at this mess!

Can you eat at the dining table, please?

Guess what, I have a gig tomorrow!

You should be there.

I'm not sure I can.

I have a lot of work tomorrow
and I don't know if I'll have the time.

I'll pick you up from work. Don't worry.

Aren't you going home tonight?

I'll probably go home after my gig.

We're practicing the whole day tomorrow.

-What the hell?
-Just a tummy check.

-See you later!
-Bye.

He's one of the evacuees
temporarily staying at the Capitol.

who died yesterday in the hospital.

Gus just landed in Iligan.
He's been trying to contact you.

He's probably looking for someone
to order around.

We request everyone
to be careful on their way home.

The curfew is for our safety.

We are requesting your cooperation…

When was the last mission again?

-Last year?
-Yes.

September 13 to 25.

Oh, yeah. Shit, I'm exhausted.

Here… I'm done with your database.

-Did you send it to me?
-Yes.

Okay.

Hey, you can go home already, okay?
I'm sorry I made you work overtime.

What else do you need to do?

Let's go together
so we can split the fare.

You go ahead.
Lito's probably waiting for you.

I'm almost done anyway.

Then I'll wait for you.

What are you working on?

Did Anya send that?

Gus did.

Why are you putting
so much effort into that?

They probably won't read it anyway.

Can you just go home?
You're making me feel self-conscious.

You can file a leave too, you know.

No way. You won't have a spy in the office
if I go on leave too.

Fine.

I'll go home now.

Hey…

You need to report to me every day.

Yes, ma'am.

Don't worry.

The world won't end
even if you're not in the office.

Bye!

Bye, Lorns.

Hello?

Huh?

Do I really need to be there?

Okay.

Yeah, I'm almost done.

Ben, are we in a hurry?

What?

You're driving too fast,
it's making me nervous.

Exactly. We're not in a hurry, right?

I'm excited to let you hear the new song.

Green light.

I'm just being sweet.

Stop it!

Fucking stupid traffic enforcers!

Drop me off here.

Don't be dramatic.
I'm already driving slow.

Please drop me off here, Ben.

I'm sorry. It was a minor accident!

Alice, I'll bring you home.
It's just 2 km away!

Ben, you're drunk.

-Just let me drive you home.
-God damn it, Ben!

I'd rather walk
than get in a car with you!

You're being fucking dramatic! Fine!

Have you spoken to the doctor?

I'll go look for the doctor
so I can find out when will be your D&C.

Becoming a mom
isn't really in our genes, huh?

I should've pushed through
with the abortion.

Why did you change your mind?
