00:00We need to help.
00:02All of our lives are in our lives.
00:04Even our loved ones in our lives.
00:06We need to take care of Edong.
00:10What are we doing now?
00:12He's innocent!
00:14But it's done, son.
00:16You're done. We're here.
00:18I'm sorry, Uncle.
00:20Edong tells us to be hurt.
00:22Even if it's hard for me,
00:24Edong, at this point,
00:25whatever is possible,
00:27we need to remember everything.
00:28We're surrounded by villains.
00:30We're surrounded by evil.
00:32We're going to take care of people.
00:33We want to take care of ourselves.
00:35And I feel like we're just waiting
00:38for those who will be the first of us.
00:40I'll kill you and I'll make sure!
00:42Fucking pay!
00:44I'm not going to take care of
00:45until I finish what I need to do.
00:58nobody to do this.
01:00I'm gonna take care of me.
01:11I'm not going to take care of us!
01:15I can't tell you,
01:16I'm not going to take care of myself.
01:24I'm not going to take care of yourself.
01:28I don't know.
02:02I don't know.
02:31I don't know.
03:21I don't know.
03:38I don't know.
04:16I don't know.
04:16I don't know.

04:47I don't know.
04:59I don't know.
05:29I don't know.
05:33I don't know.
05:36I don't know.
05:53I don't know.
05:55I don't know.
06:09I don't know.
06:16I don't know.
06:21I don't know.
06:30I don't know.
07:00I don't know.
07:05I don't know.
07:07I don't know.
07:20I don't know.
07:30I don't know.

07:41I don't know.
07:47I don't know.
08:11I don't know.

08:17I don't know.
08:18I don't know.
08:39I don't know.
08:39I don't know.
08:41Don't know.
08:52You're right.
08:53that we're leaving.
09:11We have a meeting with the prosecutor.
09:15We need to prepare for the trial.
09:21How are you?
09:26Nervous?
09:29Scared shitless?
09:34How about you?
09:38Don't tell me you're fine, Lucas.
09:41If you're in trouble until you don't know anything,
09:45you're not okay.
09:52I can hear you.
09:57I'm still waiting for you all.
10:00I'm calling you at night.
10:03I don't know.
10:05You're right.
10:05You're right.
10:08You're right.
10:09I don't know what I've seen and what I've seen in my hotel.
10:17You know that if you need to talk to me, I'm only here, right?
10:27But...
10:28I don't want to be able to get into your thoughts.
10:31What?
10:34It's not like that to me.
10:38Talking with you means,
10:40may nakakausap din ako.
10:43And honestly, Lucas,
10:45sa lahat ng tao,
10:47ikaw lang nakakaintindi sa totoong pinagdadaanan ko.
10:55I feel so lost, Lucas.
11:00I'm trying so hard to be strong.
11:04Pero,
11:05para akong nasa gilid ng isang bangin nakatayo at
11:08anytime pwede akong mahulog.
11:11And it's been like that for a while.
11:15Until you came along.
11:19And for the first time,
11:23naman...
11:24naramdaman ko na may makakapitan ako.
11:36Tinakailangan ko ngayon, Lucas.
11:41Makakapitan.
11:55Like I told you, Mel.
11:58Kung kailangan mo ng tulungan dito,
12:01kung magsabi ka lang.
12:06Masayang masaya ako na binilalaban ko na yung sarili mo.
12:13Pinindaan ko rin yan sa tatay ko,
12:15kaya alam ko kung ganong kahirap.
12:18At hanggang ngayon,
12:20iisip ko pa rin na...
12:25sana may chance si nanay
12:30makakalaya at lumabad ka ka.
12:40Makakalaya ka rin kay Anton.
12:44Malalampasan mo to.
12:48At nandito ako pagkailangan mo ng tulong.
12:59Ba'y, asanda yung chinelas ko?
13:02Ba'y, asanda yung chinelas ko?
13:03Ga, nakita mo ba yung salamin ko?
13:05Eh, baka nandyan lang.

15:03Ingat po kayo.
15:03Ingat din po.
15:08ingat po青.
15:08Recaupital meeting isa ku abze.
15:19Ingat
15:21Ha.izado
15:38Ladies, base sa mga sinambit niyo, we've got a buffet of criminal charges.
15:44And si Anton, he will be served a full course meal of accountability.
15:50Mrs. Montenegro, as the wife, you have grounds for battery, assault, injury, psychological abuse,
15:57the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act, or VAUCIE.
16:02Sorry, that acronym.
16:04It's better than G&G.
16:06Hey, attorney Melendez, I wouldn't have had the privilege of meeting such a fierce lawyer
16:14kung natuloy ang ka ni Anton sa pananakal niya.
16:16And that asshole struck you with a pipe.
16:22Now, anong kaso ang ipafile natin sa kanya and what is your justification?
16:29Attempted homicide. Merong intent to kill.
16:33The pipe struck to the head and the choking kigling show intent.
16:36Ow!
16:38Exactly. He missed the kill. But we won't.
16:44Mrs. Mora.
16:46Ah, ganun na rin po?
16:47Kasi pareho naman kaming muntik na malintikan dun eh.
16:52Well...
16:52You have defensive wounds.
16:54No, no, no, ah!
16:57Malt concussion. Sinaktakan niya yes.
17:00But he didn't intend to kill you.
17:03So, yours is less serious physical injuries.
17:07Maka mo.
17:11What about me?
17:19Of course, we will push for dismissal.
17:22Pero dapat, handa tayong lumaban.
17:25Their biggest mistake?
17:27Ang ginawa sa'yo ni Alice.
17:31Attorney, malakas bang chance natin?
17:34We will file a hyper-aggressive counter-charge for attempted homicide against Alice Miller.
17:39The use of a hard object, a glass bottle,
17:43struck against the head, which is a vital part of the body,
17:47suggests intent to kill or seriously wound.
17:49We will argue that this was not mere self-defense,
17:53but an unlawful, calculated, and disproportionate act of violence.
17:58This puts their main rescuer in immediate legal jeopardy
18:02for a non-vailable offense.
18:04It will fracture their lethal group.
18:08Makakasuhan ba ko ni Anton?
18:15You are not a criminal, darling.
18:18You are the plot twist.
18:22At ginawa mo kung anong dapat gawin
18:24ng isang babae kapag sinubok ng halimaw.
18:27Lumaban.
18:29Classic self-defense under Article 11.
18:32No liability.
18:33But your testimony
18:35is our secret weapon.
18:39Attorney Melendez,
18:41with the multiple charges
18:42and the sheer volume of evidence,
18:44what is your take
18:45on the most effective way
18:47to prosecute the cases?
18:50We filed separate cases for each of us.
18:52Attempted homicide for me,
18:54less serious physical injuries for Beth,
18:56and no charges for Alice
18:59because it was clearly an act of self-defense.
19:02But we moved to consolidate them in one trial.
19:05Meaning?
19:06Meaning,
19:07hiwa-hiwalayin accounts of crime for ungod.
19:09Pero iisang trial,
19:11iisang judge,
19:12at iisang set of witnesses and evidence.
19:14Iisang demonyo,
19:16multiple crimes.
19:17Mas efficient,
19:18mas powerful.
19:19That thinks Anton,
19:20not just a one-time jerk,
19:22but a repeat offender
19:23with a signature style.
19:25And judges love patterns.
19:27And they hate predators
19:29who think they're clever.
19:31Next,
19:32we erase the rescue narrative
19:34at papalitan natin
19:36ng premeditated ambush and assault.
19:40How?
19:41Your wife deliberately
19:43lured you to the isolated area
19:45of the coffee shop
19:46using a phone call.
19:47Dahil alam niyang malapit lang
19:49mga kadigan niya,
19:51sinet-up ka.
19:52We will file counter charges
19:54for less serious
19:55or serious physical injuries
19:57against Eric and Beth.
19:59This forces all the women
20:00to face jail time,
20:02not just big complainants.
20:05Ang ipapalabas natin,
20:07yung bayanihan ng kababaihan
20:08na pinapalabas nila
20:10was actually a conspiracy
20:11para saktan ka.
20:12What about the coffee shop owner?
20:15Di ba witness siya?
20:16Ang nakita lang niya
20:17ay ang aftermath.
20:18She did not witness
20:19the whole thing,
20:20not even their CCTV.
20:22Dahil in the first place,
20:23wala sila nun.
20:26Now for the kicker,
20:28Mrs. Montenegro.
20:29Your vowsy case,
20:30hiwalay.
20:31It will fall under
20:31the family court.
20:33Different playground,
20:34different rules,
20:35different prosecutor,
20:36mas malalim ang tingin.
20:38Physical,
20:39emotional,
20:40psychological,
20:41financial,
20:41economic,
20:42the whole pattern
20:44of abuse
20:44so we can paint
20:46the whole ugly picture.
20:47And speaking of family court,
20:49that is where
20:50you will file
20:51for protective order.
20:53Attorney Melendez,
20:54why is it crucial
20:55to get a temporary
20:57protection order
20:58and what immediate win
21:00does it give your friend?
21:02The TPO is a non-negotiable
21:04legal mandate
21:05for immediate safety.
21:06The biggest win here
21:08is the exclusive possession
21:09of the conjugal hope.
21:10And family court
21:11can immediately issue
21:12a protective order
21:13within 24 hours
21:14without even talking
21:15to Anton.
21:17She's right, Mel.
21:18Legal na mapapalayas
21:19ng TPO si Anton
21:20sa bahay niyo
21:21regardless
21:21na kung sino may-ari.
21:22Dahil under the law,
21:24your safety
21:25is the priority.
21:26It stops any form
21:27of financial violence
21:28or economic abuse.
21:30The TPO can restrict
21:31Anton from accessing
21:32his bank accounts,
21:34especially yung
21:34common bank accounts nyo
21:36or yung properties nyo
21:37para hindi nyo ma-drain
21:38ang joint accounts nyo
21:39at i-benta yung assets.
21:40Now,
21:41on to the strategy.
21:43You have two choices
21:45on how to proceed
21:46with the prosecution.
21:47One,
21:47sabay-sabay nating
21:49ipoprosecute
21:49ang lahat ng cases,
21:51double-core drama.
21:52Or two,
21:53win the collective
21:54criminal cases first
21:56and use that win
21:58para matalo
21:59si Anton
22:00sa VAUSI case mo.
22:08What do you think?
22:10Well,
22:11nakadepende yan sa kung
22:12anong kaya mo
22:12i-handle men.
22:14Pero personally,
22:15malinas ng one-two punch
22:16ng option two.
22:18Pero dahil sa
22:19bagal ng takbo
22:20ng hostesya
22:21dito sa badsang to.
22:23Right.
22:24Sabay-sabay
22:25naaandar yung mga kaso.
22:27And I want
22:28attorney Erica
22:28to defend me.
22:31Look at that.
22:32Instant dream team.
22:35Unfortunately, ladies,
22:37I am the lead
22:38public prosecutor.
22:40But,
22:41with your consent,
22:42she can be
22:44your private prosecutor
22:45under my supervision.
22:47Like a
22:48co-counsel?
22:50I'm the general.
22:52She's the field commander.
22:53She will help you
22:55with everything you need.
22:56Getting affidavit,
22:57evidence,
22:58prepping for testimony.
22:59everything you need
23:01before the battle
23:02begins.
23:04Now,
23:06let's make sure
23:07Anton Montenegro
23:09regrets
23:10that he touched
23:11any of you.
23:13Finally,
23:14the PR strategy.
23:16We control
23:17the narrative.
23:18Anton,
23:20you are the
23:20betrayed husband.
23:21We will secure
23:23a psychological
23:23evaluation
23:24and strategically
23:25leaked portions
23:26of it,
23:26claiming
23:27that you suffer
23:28from anxiety,
23:30depression,
23:31or PTSD.
23:32Because of your
23:33husband's
23:33attack,
23:34they did
23:34attack you.
23:36We will argue
23:37your rage
23:38was a result
23:39of a powerful
23:40and blinding
23:41fit of passion,
23:42making the
23:43Vau C case
23:44look like a
23:45distraction
23:45from Mel's
23:46own betrayal.
23:49I like that.
23:55Importante
23:56ipagpatuli
23:57mo lang
23:57ang ginagawa mo.
23:59Keep talking
23:59about your
24:00heartbreak
24:00and the affair.
24:01But,
24:02do not say
24:03anything aggressive
24:04against the
24:04women.
24:05We must
24:06subtly paint
24:07Mel,
24:08Erica,
24:09and Beth
24:09as a powerful
24:10and vicious
24:11group of women
24:12who are
24:12ganging up
24:13against a
24:14good man.
24:16If we
24:16control the
24:17narrative,
24:18we show
24:19the court
24:19there is
24:20reasonable doubt.
24:26That's easy.
24:57I'm sure
25:00you're
25:00how he
25:01and I
25:01came to
25:02have an
25:02affair.
25:03I'm not
25:03going to
25:04It's done
25:05now.
25:05But I
25:06don't want
25:06it to be
25:07over.
25:08Are you
25:08sure you're
25:09okay to
25:09be able to
25:10get out of
25:10this?
25:11There are
25:11police
25:11out there.
25:13He's
25:13just going to
25:13go back here.
