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.
01:04I'm not going to take care of them.
01:06Leave anything...
01:15I die.
01:25I hope I had returned.
01:28That way, that gives close view.
01:28I don't know.
02:01I 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.
04:16I don't know.
04:36I don't know.
04:43I don't know.
04:43I 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.
07:37I don't know.
07:41I don't know.
07:47I don't know.
08:11I don't know.
08:15I don't know.
08:17I don't know.
08:18I don't know.
08:39I don't know.
08:51I don't know.
08:52I don't know.
08:53Like, I don't know.
08:53I don't know.
08:57I don't know.
09:11We have a meeting with a prosecutor.
09:15We need to prepare for the trial.
09:21How are you?
09:26Nervous?
09:29I'm scared 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, you're not okay.
09:53I hear you.
09:57I'm still waiting for you.
09:59I'm still waiting for you.
10:00I'm calling you for the night.
10:03I'm going to die.
10:05I'm with Erica.
10:07He's the only person I've seen and the best person I've seen in my hotel.
10:17You know that if you need to talk to me, I'm only here, right?
10:26But...
10:27I don't want to be able to talk to you.
10:31What?
10:34It's not like that to me.
10:38Talking with you means...
10:40I can talk to you.
10:43And honestly, Lucas,
10:45in all of the people,
10:47you're only able to understand the truth of my experience.
10:55I feel so lost, Lucas.
11:00I'm trying so hard to be strong.
11:04But...
11:05I feel like I'm in the middle of a mess,
11:07and I'm dying,
11:08and any time I can fall.
11:11And it's been like that for a while.
11:15Until you came along.
11:19And for the first time...
11:21I'm...
11:24I feel like I'm going to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able.
11:55like I told you, Meryl.
11:59If you need help here, I'll just tell you.
12:06I'm so happy that you have your own self.
12:12I've also had a chance for my dad, so I know how hard it is.
12:18And until now...
12:20I still think...
12:25I hope my dad has a chance.
12:29I'm so happy that you're on my side.
12:36I'm so happy that you're on my side...
12:43I'm so happy that you're on my side.
12:46You're on my side...
12:47And I'm so happy that I need help.
12:59Where's my chineles?
13:02You're too big for my salmon.
13:05Maybe I'll just go there.
13:07That's what I'm talking about.
13:21Mr. Edward, the donation and healing mass from Santa Fe,
13:26we'll take care of you first.
13:27We'll take care of you first.
13:30How are you?
13:32Why?
13:34You're still here.
13:36My van is here.
13:37I'm still here.
13:43We're all familiar with you, Christina.
13:46After that happened,
13:48we don't want to think about you.
13:51You're the church leader.
13:54You're still here.
13:56You're still here.
13:58You're still here.
14:00You're still here.
14:00I'm not sure.
14:02I'm still here.
14:02I'm still here.
14:04I'm here.
14:07I'm still here.
14:07You're now here.
14:08I'm here.
14:08I'm doing that.
14:10I'm here.
14:12I'm here to go.
14:14Let's try our stories, even if we have to struggle.
14:18Because, we'll be able to know how much we are.
14:23That's true, Kuya Edward.
14:25Just a little bit, you can be a saint.
14:29You too.
14:31You can only do what I can do.
14:33Let's go.
14:35Okay, thank you.
14:37Let's eat.
14:37Let's go.
14:57What's the other area?
14:58Okay, sir.
15:00Good morning, sir.
15:01Good morning, sir.
15:02Good morning, sir.
15:03Good morning, sir.
15:31Good morning, sir.
15:36You are all igs right next time, but it's probably not late in the morning.
15:37Ladies, 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.
16:54Ah!
16:58Malt concussion.
16:59Sinaktakan niya, yes.
17:00But he didn't intend to kill you.
17:03So, yours is less serious physical injuries.
17:07Ah, ganun.
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, malaks 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.
17:50We will argue that this was not mere self-defense,
17:53but an unlawful, calculated and disproportionate act of violence.
17:57This puts their main rescuer in immediate legal jeopardy for a non-vailable offense.
18:04It will fracture their little group.
18:08Makakasuhan ba ako ni Anton?
18:15You are not the criminal, darling.
18:19You are the plot twist.
18:22At ginawa mo kung anong dapat gawin ng isang babae kapag sinubok ng halimaw.
18:27Lumaban.
18:29Classic self-defense under Article 11.
18:32No liability.
18:33But your testimony?
18:35It's our secret weapon.
18:39Attorney Melendez,
18:41with the multiple charges and the sheer volume of evidence,
18:44what is your take on the most effective way to prosecute the cases?
18:50We file 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-hiwalay na counts of crime for Anton.
19:10Pero iisang trial,
19:11iisang judge,
19:12at iisang set of witnesses and evidence.
19:14Iisang demonio,
19:16multiple crimes.
19:17Mas efficient,
19:18mas powerful.
19:19That thinks Anton not just a one-time jerk,
19:22but a repeat offender with a signature style.
19:25And judges love patterns.
19:27And they hate predators who think they're clever.
19:31Next,
19:32we erase the rescue narrative,
19:35at papalitan natin ng premeditated ambush and assault.
19:40How?
19:41Your wife deliberately lured you to the isolated area of the coffee shop,
19:46using a phone call.
19:48Dahil alam niyang malapit lang mga kadigan niya,
19:51sinet-up ka.
19:51We will file counter-charges for less serious or serious physical injuries
19:57against Eric and Beth.
19:59This forces all the women to face jail time,
20:02not just big complainants.
20:05Ang ipapalabas natin,
20:07yung bayanihan ng kababaihan na pinapalabas nila
20:10was actually a conspiracy para saktan ka.
20:12What about the coffee shop owner?
20:15Di ba witness siya?
20:16Ang nakita lang niya ay ang aftermath.
20:18She did not witness the whole thing,
20:20not even their CCTV.
20:22Dahil in the first place,
20:23wala sila nun.
20:26Now for the kicker, Mrs. Montenegro.
20:29Your vowsy case,
20:30hiwalay.
20:31It will fall under the family court.
20:33Different playground,
20:34different rules,
20:35different prosecutor.
20:37Mas malalim ang tingin.
20:38Physical, emotional, psychological, financial, economic.
20:42The whole pattern of abuse.
20:45So we can paint the whole ugly picture.
20:48And speaking of family court,
20:49that is where you will file for protective order.
20:53Attorney Melendez,
20:54why is it crucial to get a temporary protection order
20:58and what immediate win does it give your friend?
21:02The TPO is a non-negotiable legal mandate for immediate safety.
21:06The biggest win here is the exclusive possession of the conjugal hope.
21:10And family court can immediately issue a protective order within 24 hours without even talking to Anton.
21:17She's right, Mel.
21:18Legal na mapapalayas ng TPO si Anton sa bahay na regardless na kung sino may-ari.
21:23Dahil under the law,
21:24your safety is the priority.
21:26It stops any form of financial violence or economic abuse.
21:30The TPO can restrict Anton from accessing his bank accounts,
21:34especially yung common bank accounts nyo or yung properties nyo,
21:37para hindi nyo madrain ang joint accounts nyo at ibenta yung assets.
21:40Now, on to the strategy.
21:43You have two choices on how to proceed with the prosecution.
21:47One, sabay-sabay nating ipoprosecute ang lahat ng cases,
21:51double-core drama.
21:52Or two, win the collective criminal cases first
21:56and use that win
21:58para matalo si Anton sa vowsy case mo.
22:08What do you think?
22:10Well, nakadepende yan sa kung anong kaya mo i-handle, Mel.
22:14Pero personally,
22:15malinas ng one-two punch ng option two.
22:18Pero dahil sa bagal ng takbo ng hostisya dito sa badsang to...
22:23Right.
22:24Sabay-sabay naaandar yung mga kaso.
22:27And I want attorney Erica to defend me.
22:31Look at that.
22:32Instant dream team.
22:35Unfortunately, ladies,
22:37I am the lead public prosecutor.
22:40But with your consent,
22:42she can be your private prosecutor under my supervision.
22:47Like a co-counsel?
22:50I'm the general.
22:52She's the field commander.
22:53She will help you with everything you need.
22:56Getting affidavit, evidence, prepping for testimony.
22:59Everything you need before the battle begins.
23:04Now, let's make sure Anton Montenegar regrets that he touched any of you.
23:13Finally, the PR strategy.
23:16We control the narrative.
23:19Anton, you are the betrayed husband.
23:21We will secure a psychological evaluation and strategically leak portions of it,
23:26claiming na nagsasuffer ka ng anxiety, depression, or PTSD.
23:31Dahil sa pangangaliwan ng asawa mo,
23:34and yung ginawa nilang pag-atake sa'yo.
23:36We will argue,
23:38your rage was a result of a powerful and blinding fit of passion,
23:42making the Vau C case look like a distraction from Mel's own betrayal.
23:49I like that.
23:56Importante ang ipagpatuli mo lang ang ginagawa mo.
23:59Keep talking about your heartbreak and the affair,
24:01but do not say anything aggressive against the women.
24:05We must subtly paint Mel, Erica, and Beth
24:09as a powerful and vicious group of women
24:12who are ganging up against a good man.
24:16If we control the narrative,
24:18we show the court there is reasonable doubt.
24:26That's easy.
24:49That's easy.
24:57Jason, go.
24:57Bakit kayo mag-iawalay ni tatay?
24:59I'm sure nagtataka ka how he and I came to have an affair.
25:03Hindi ko siya pagmamayari na.
25:05Tapos naman na yun.
25:06But I don't want it to be over.
25:08Sigurado ka ba na okay lang kayong mag-alaga sa titang 50 na mo?
25:11Ay, mga polis naman sa labas.
25:13Sama na lang niya, no?
25:14Kung babalik pa siya dito, do'y ba?
