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.
01:03I'm not going to take care of myself
01:03At best if you don't understand me.
01:16As a story!
01:17Thank you, Charlie,
01:27how are you feeling?

13:21Mr. Edward,
13:23the donation and healing mass
13:25at Santa Fe,
13:26we're going to take care of it.
13:28We're going to rent the van first.
13:30What are you doing?
13:32Why?
13:33Eh, we're going to rent the van first.
13:36My van is here.
13:38Ah...
13:38I can't.
13:43We're going to be familiar with you, Christina.
13:46After that,
13:48we don't have to worry about you.
13:51It's okay.
13:52You're the church leader.
13:54Then,
13:55you're going to send all the deliveries.
13:58I don't care about that.
14:00I don't care about that.
14:02I don't care about it.
14:03I'm not sure.
14:04But my wife is still here for the children.
14:08I'll just keep you with me.
14:11But,
14:12I don't care about it.
14:14I don't care about it.
14:16I don't care about it.
14:19there's no reason to keep you with your friends.
14:23That's true, Mr. Edward.
14:25Just a little bit, you can be a saint.
14:29You too.
14:31You can only do what I can do.
14:34Let's go.
14:35Okay.
14:37Let's eat.
14:38Let's eat.
14:56Sigh.
14:57What's the other area?
14:58Okay, sir.
15:00That's fine.
15:00That's fine, sir.
15:01That's fine, sir.
15:02That's fine, Lola.
15:03I'll be ready for you.
15:03I'll be ready.
15:36All right, ladies.
15:40We've got a buffet of criminal charges.
15:44And 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, the Anti-Violence Against Women and
15:59Their Children Act, or VAUCIE.
16:02Sorry, that acronym. It's better than G&G.
16:08Attorney Melendez, I wouldn't have had the privilege of meeting such a fierce lawyer kung natuloy ang ka ni Anton
16:15sa pananakal niya.
16:16And that asshole struck you with a pipe.
16:23Now, anong kaso ang ipa-file 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 kailin show intent.
16:38Exactly. He missed the kill, but we won't.
16:44Mrs. Mora.
16:46Ah, gano'n na rin po?
16:47Kasi pareho naman kaming muntik na malintikan dun.
16:50Well, you have defensive wounds.
16:57Malt concussion, sinaktakan niya yes, but he didn't intend to kill you.
17:03So, yours is less serious physical injuries.
17:06Magano.
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.
