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.
01:01The other one is going to take care of our lives.
01:06I'm not going to take care of myself.
01:06I'm not going to take care of ourselves.
01:19We're going to take care of ourselves.
01:27I don't know.
01:57I don't know.

09:11We have a meeting with the prosecutor.
09:15We've got to prepare him for the trial.
09:21How are you doing?
09:26Nervous?
09:29Scared shitless?
09:34How about you?
09:38Don't tell me you're fine, Lucas.
09:41If you're not going to be able to tell you what you're doing,
09:45you're not okay.
09:53I'm going to hear you.
09:57I'm still going to see everything.
10:00I'm going to call you in the evening.
10:03I'm going to die now.
10:05I'm with Erica.
10:07He's the only person I've seen and
10:10the beautiful face I've been in my hotel.
10:17You know, when you need to talk to me, I'm here, right?
10:27I'm not going to be able to tell you what you're going to think of.
10:31What?
10:34It's not like that to me.
10:38Talking with you means
10:40I'm going to talk to you.
10:43And honestly, Lucas,
10:45all of us,
10:47you're only going 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 bitch,
11:07and I'm dying,
11:08and anytime I can't breathe.
11:12And it's been like that for a while.
11:15Until you came along.
11:19And for the first time,
11:23I'm feeling like I'm coming to you.
11:30I feel like I'm coming to you.
11:35I'm coming to you.
11:38I'm coming to you.
11:55Like I told you, Meryl.
11:58If you need help, I'll just tell you.
12:06I'm so happy that I'm going to fight with you.
12:13I'm so happy that I know how hard it is.
12:18And until now, I still think that...
12:25I hope you have a chance to have a chance.
12:29You're too late and too late.
12:39I'm so happy that you're too late.
12:43I'm so happy that you're too late.
12:47I'm so happy that you're too late.
12:59I'm so happy that you're too late.
13:06I'm so happy that you're too late.
13:21Mr. Edward, the delivery of donations and healing masks at Santa Fe, we're going to take care of it.
13:27We're going to rent the van first.
13:30What are you doing?
13:32Why?
13:33Hey, you're going to have to go.
13:35My van is here.
13:38I can't do it.
13:43We're all familiar with you, Christina.
13:45Christina, after that happened, we don't want to take care of you.
13:51It's okay.
13:52You're the leader of the church.
13:54Then, you're still going to send all the deliveries.
13:58That's not me.
14:00I really like what I'm doing.
14:03I'm going to read it.
14:06I'm still going to read it.
14:06I'm still going to read it.
14:08I'm just going to say thank you for receiving me.
14:12Because I'm still going to read it.
14:16Even if you have to try it.
14:17Because we're going to know where we're going to get to it.
14:23That's true, Mr. Edward.
14:25You can only be a saint.
14:29You're the one.
14:31I'm only going to do what I can.
14:32I can't.
14:33Huh?
14:34Come on.
14:35Come on.
14:37I'll eat.
14:38You're hungry, huh?
14:57What's going on?
14:58Okay, sir.
14:59Good morning, sir.
15:02Good morning, Nuno.
15:03Ingat po kayo.
15:04Ingat po.
15:05Ingat din po.
15:37All right, ladies.
15:39Basa sa mga sinambit niyo, we've got a buffet of criminal charges.
15:44And si Anton?
15:45He 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 VAUSI.
16:01Sorry.
16:03That acronym.
16:04It's better than G&G.
16:07Attorney Melendez, I wouldn't have had the privilege of meeting such a fierce lawyer kung natuluyang ka ni Anton sa
16:15pananakal 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.
16:31Merong intent to kill.
16:32The pipe struck to the head and the choking clearly show intent.
16:38Exactly.
16:39He missed the kill.
16:42But we won't.
16:44Mrs. Mora.
16:46Ah, ganun na rin po?
16:47Kasi pareho naman kaming muntik na malintikan dun eh.
16:51Well...
16:52You have defensive wounds.
16:54No!
16:55Ah!
16:57Ah!
16:58Mild concussion.
16:59Sinaktang kanya, yes.
17:00But he didn't intend to kill you.
17:03So...
17:03Yours is less serious physical injuries.
17:06What about me?
17:19Of course.
17:20We will push for dismissal.
17:22Pero dapat,
17:23handa tayong lumaban.
17:25Their biggest mistake?
17:27Ang ginawa sa'yo ni Alice.
17:31Attorney,
17:33malakas 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,
17:41a glass bottle,
17:43struck against the head,
17:45which 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.
17:58This puts their main rescuer in immediate legal jeopardy for a non-vailable offense.
18:04It will fracture their lethal group.
18:15You are not the criminal, darling.
18:19You are the plot twist.
18:21At ginawa mo kung anong dapat gawin ng isang babae kapag sinubok ng halimaw.
18:28Lumaban.
18:29Classic self-defense under Article 11.
18:31No liability.
18:33But your testimony is 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 filed separate cases for each of us.
18:52Attempted homicide for me,
18:54less serious physical injuries for Beth,
18:57and 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, hiwahiwalay na counts of crime for ungod.
19:10Pero iisang trial, iisang judge,
19:12at iisang set of witnesses and evidence.
19:14Iisang demonyo, multiple crimes.
19:17Mas efficient, mas 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, we 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.
19:47Dahil alam niyang malapit lang mga kadigan niya.
19:51Sinet up ka.
19:52We 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.
20:13What 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, wala sila nun.
20:26Now for the kicker, Mrs. Montenegro.
20:29Your vowsy case, hiwalay.
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 the family court can immediately issue a protective order
21:13within 24 hours without even talking to Anton.
21:17She's right, Mel.
21:18Legal na mapapalayas ng TPO si Anton sa bahay niya
21:21regardless na kung sino may-ari.
21:23Dahil under the law, your 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 niyo or yung properties niyo,
21:37para hindi niya ma-drain ang joint accounts niyo at i-benta yung assets.
21:40Now, on to the strategy.
21:43You have two choices on how to proceed with the prosecution.
21:47One, sabay-sabay natin 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.
22:07What do you think?
22:10Well, nakadepende yan sa kung anong kaya mo i-handle men.
22:13Pero personally, malinas 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 na-handal yung mga kaso.
22:27And I want attorney Erica to defend me.
22:30Look 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.
23:00Everything you need before the battle begins.
23:05Now, let's make sure
23:08Anton Montenegro regrets that he touched any of you.
23:13Finally, the PR strategy.
23:16We control the narrative.
23:18Anton, you are the betrayed husband.
23:21We will secure a psychological evaluation
23:24and strategically leak portions of it.
23:27Claiming
23:28that you suffer anxiety,
23:30depression, or PTSD.
23:32Dahil sa pangangaliwan ng asawa mo,
23:34and yung ginawa nilang pag-atake sa'yo.
23:36We will argue
23:37your rage was a result of a powerful and blinding fit of passion.
23:42Making the Vau C case
23:44look like a distraction from Mel's own betrayal.
23:49I like that.
23:56Importanteng 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, Erika, 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.
24:25that's easy.
24:37That's easy.
24:51It's just a long time.
24:52I'm going to share it with you.
24:53It's a very difficult time.
24:54It's a tough time.
24:55It's just a tough time.
24:56I ask my friend.
24:56It's a tough time for me.
24:57It's the time to take away the house.
24:57Jason, why are you going to leave your dad's house?
24:59I'm sure you're surprised how he and I came to have an affair.
25:03I don't know if it's going to happen.
25:04It's over again.
25:05But I don't want it to be over.
25:08Are you sure you're okay to be able to go to the hospital?
25:11There are people who are out there.
25:13Where is he going if he's back here?
