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.
01:28I'm not going to take care of my children.
01:28I'm not going to go!
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.
08:53I don't know.
08:53I'm going to tell Alice,
08:53that we're going to have to leave.
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.
09:53You're fine.
09:57I'm still waiting for you all.
10:00I'm calling you for the night.
10:03I'm still waiting for you.
10:05I'm still waiting for you.
10:06With Erica.
10:07He's the one who I saw and...
10:11the beautiful face that I had in my hotel.
10:17You know that when you need to talk to me,
10:19I'm just here, right?
10:24I'm still waiting for you.
10:25But...
10:27I don't know what you think.
10:30What?
10:33It's not like that to me.
10:37Talking with you means...
10:40I'm still waiting for you.
10:43And honestly, Lucas,
10:45people,
10:47you're only gonna understand what I'm saying.
10:55I feel so lost, Lucas.
11:00I'm trying so hard to be strong.
11:04But I feel like I'm in the middle of a bitch,
11:07and I'm dying, and anytime I can fall asleep.
11:12And it's been like that for a while.
11:15Until you came along.
11:19And for the first time,
11:24naramdaman ko na may makakapitan ako.
11:35Di na kailangan ko ngayon, Lucas.
11:40May makakapitan.
11:55Like I told you, Mel.
11:58Kung kailangan mo ng tulungan dito,
12:01kung magsabi ka lang.
12:06Sayang masaya ako,
12:07nag-inilalaban ko na yung sarili mo.
12:13Pinindaan ko rin yan sa tatay ko,
12:15kaya alam ko kung gano'ng kahirap.
12:18At hanggang ngayon,
12:20iisip ko pa rin na
12:25sana may chance si nanay
12:30na makalaya at lumabad kagaya mo.
12:40Mahalaya ka rin kay Antun.
12:44Malalampasan mo doon.
12:47At nandito ako pa kailangan mo ng tulung.
13:09At nandito ako sa tatay ko sa tatay ko sa tatay ko sa tatay ko.
13:21Kuya Edward,

13:26kami na munang bahala.
13:28Magre-rent na lang po muna kami ng van.
13:31Ano ba kayo?
13:32Bakit naman?
13:34Eh, gagastos pa kayo.
13:35Nandyan naman yung van ko.
13:37Masa pa,
13:39kaya ko naman eh.
13:43Nag-alala po kasi kami sa inyo,
13:45ni Christina,
13:46pagkatapos nung nangyari.
13:48Ayaw na po namin dagdaga ng isipin ninyo.
13:51Nakakaya nga po eh.
13:52Kaya yung church leader,
13:54tapos kaya pa po nang kasikasulat ng delivery sa itong ano-ano.
13:59Wala naman sa akin yun.
14:00Tsaka gusto ko naman yung ginagawa ko.
14:03Tsaka ano,
14:05panata ako naman talaga ito.
14:06Buhay pa yung mga magulang ni Christina.
14:08Tinutuloy ko lang bilang pasasalamat sa pagtanggap nila sa akin.
14:12Masa pa,
14:13may ba dapat talaga namang tinutuloy natin yung mga panata natin kahit na may mga pagsubok?
14:18Kasi,
14:19doon natin malalaman kung
14:21gaano tayo katatag.
14:23Imbaka talaga, Kuya Edward.
14:26Kunti na lang po,

14:29Kayo naman.
14:31Ginagawa pa lang yung makakaya ko.
14:33Ha?

14:35Sige po.
14:38Pagkabusog kayo, ha?
14:59Ang gandang umaga, sir.
15:01Ang gandang umaga din, Nulo.
15:03Ingat po kayo.
15:03Ingat din po.
15:06Ingat po kayo.
15:37Alright, ladies.
15:39Basa sa mga sinambit niyo,
15:41we'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,
15:52you have grounds for battery,
15:54assault, injury,
15:55psychological abuse,
15:57the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act,
16:00or VAUCIE.
16:02Sorry.
16:03That acronym.
16:04It's better than G&G.
16:07Attorney Melendez,
16:10I wouldn't have had the privilege of meeting such a fierce lawyer
16:14kung natuloyan ka ni Anton sa pananakal niya.
16:16And that asshole struck you with a pipe.
16:22Now,
16:23anong kaso ang ipafile natin sa kanya,
16:26and what is your justification?
16:29Attempted Homicide.
16:31Merong intent to kill.
16:33The pipe struck to the head,
16:34and the choking kailin show intent.
16:38Exactly.
16:39He missed the kill.
16:42But we won't.
16:44Mrs. Mora.
16:46Ah, gano'n na rin po?
16:47Kasi pareho naman kaming muntik na malintikan dun.
16:51Well,
16:52you have defensive wounds.
16:54Ah!
16:58Mouth concussion,
16:59sinaktang ka niya,
17:00yes,
17:00but he didn't intend to kill you,
17:03so
17:03yours is less serious physical injuries.
17:07Ah, gano'n.
17:11What 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 sayo ni Alice.
17:31Attorney,
17:33malaks bang chance natin?
17:34We will file a hyper-aggressive counter charge
17:37for 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
17:48or seriously wound.
17:50We will argue
17:51that this was not mere self-defense,
17:53but an unlawful,
17:55calculated,
17:56and disproportionate act of violence.
17:58This puts their main rescuer
18:00in immediate legal jeopardy
18:02for a non-vailable offense.
18:04It will fracture
18:05their little group.
18:08Makakasuhan ba ako ni Anton?
18:15You are not
18:16the criminal,
18:18darling.
18:19You
18:20are the plot twist.
18:22At ginawa mo
18:23kung anong dapat gawin
18:24ng isang babae
18:25kapag sinubok
18:26ng halimaw.
18:28Lumaban.
18:29Classic self-defense
18:30under Article 11.
18:32No liability.
18:33But your testimony
18:35is our secret weapon.
18:39Attorney Melendez,
18:40with the multiple charges
18:42and the sheer volume
18:43of evidence,
18:44what is your take
18:45on the most effective way
18:47to prosecute the cases?
18:50We filed separate cases
18:51for each of us.
18:52Attempted homicide for me,
18:54less serious physical injuries
18:56for Beth,
18:57and no charges for Alice
18:59because it was clearly
19:00an act of self-defense.
19:02But we moved to consolidate
19:04them in one trial.
19:05Meaning?
19:06Meaning,
19:07hiwahiwalay na accounts
19:08of crime for Anton.
19:10Pero iisang trial,
19:11iisang judge,
19:12at iisang set of witnesses
19:14and 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.
19:35At papalitan natin
19:36ng premeditated ambush
19:38and assault.
19:40How?
19:41Your wife deliberately
19:43lured you to the isolated
19:45area of the coffee shop
19:46using a phone call.
19:47Dahil alam niyang
19:49malapit lang mga 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 be complainants.
20:05Ang ipapalabas natin,
20:06yung bayanihan
20:08ng kababaihan
20:08na pinapalabas nila
20:10was actually a conspiracy
20:11para saktan ka.
20:13What 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,
20:30he walay.
20:31It will fall under
20:31the family court.
20:33Different playground,
20:34different rules,
20:35different prosecutor,
20:37mas malalim ang tingin.
20:38Physical, emotional,
20:40psychological,
20:41financial, economic.
20:42The whole pattern of abuse.
20:45So 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.
21:16She's right, Mel.
21:18Legal na mapapalayas
21:19ng TPO si Anton
21:20sa bahay niya
21:21regardless na kung
21:22sino may-ari.
21:23Dahil 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 niyo
21:36or yung properties niyo
21:37para hindi niya
21:38madrain ang joint accounts niyo
21:39at i-benta yung assets.
21:40Now,
21:42on to the strategy.
21:43You have two choices
21:45on how to proceed
21:46with the prosecution.
21:47One,
21:47sabay-sabay natin
21:49ipoprosecute
21:49ang lahat ng cases,
21:51double-cord 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 vowsy 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.
22:30Look at that.
22:32Instant dream team.
22:35Unfortunately,
22:36ladies,
22:37I am the lead
22:38public prosecutor.
22:40But,
22:41with your consent,
22:42she
22:43can be your
22:44private prosecutor
22:45under my supervision.
22:46Like a
22:48co-counsel?
22:50I'm the general.
22:52She's the field commander.
22:54She will help you
22:55with everything you need.
22:56Getting affidavit,
22:57evidence,
22:58prepping for testimony.
23:00Everything you need
23:01before the battle begins.
23:04Now,
23:05let's make sure
23:07Anton Montenegro
23:09regrets
23:10that he touched
23:11any of you.
23:13Finally,
23:15the PR strategy.
23:16We control
23:17the narrative.
23:19Anton,
23:20you are the
23:20betrayed husband.
23:21We will secure
23:23a psychological
23:23evaluation
23:24and strategically
23:25leak portions
23:26of it,
23:26claiming
23:27na nagsasuffer ka
23:29ng anxiety,
23:30depression,
23:31or PTSD.
23:32Dahil sa pangangaliwan
23:33ng asawa mo,
23:34enyong ginawa nilang
23:35pag-atake sa'yo.
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 mo lang
23:57ang ginagawa mo.
23:58Keep talking
23:59about your
24:00heartbreak
24:00and the affair,
24:01but do not
24:03say anything
24:03aggressive
24:04against the women.
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 good
24:14man.
24:16If we
24:16control the
24:17narrative,
24:18we show
24:19the court
24:19there is
24:20reasonable doubt.
24:26That's easy.
24:58I'm sure you're
25:00sure you're
25:00going to have an
25:02affair.
25:03I don't want it to be over.
25:05But I don't want it to be over.
25:08Are you sure you're okay to stay here?
25:11There are police officers out there.
25:13It's just like he's coming back here, right?
