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.
01:25Well, once again,
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.

04:59I 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.
08:50I don't know.
08:51I don't know.
08:53We're done.
08:57I don't know.
09:08I will tell you always.
09:11We have a meeting with the prosecutor.
09:15We need to prepare for the trial.
09:20How are you?
09:26Nervous?
09:29Scared shitless?
09:34How about you?
09:38Don't tell me you're fine, Lucas.
09:41Kung naglalasing ka hanggang wala ka nang maalala, you're not okay.
09:53Narinig ko kayo.
09:58Pinipilit ko paring harapin lahat.
10:01Inatawagan kita kagabi.
10:04Baka mag-isak ko na ako nun.
10:05Kasama si Erica.
10:07Isa lang yung taong unang nakakita sa akin at...
10:11...ang magandang loob na ihatid ako sa hotel ko.
10:17Alam mo naman na pagkailangan mo nang kausap, nandito lang ako, di ba?
10:26Pero...
10:26Ayaw ko makalagdag sa iniisip mo.
10:31What?
10:33It's not like that to me.
10:38Talking with you means...
10:40...may nakakausap din ako.
10:44Honestly, Lucas...
10:45...sa lahat ng tao...
10:47...ikaw lang ako nakakauntindi sa totoong pinigladaanan ko.
10:55I feel so lost, Lucas.
11:00I'm trying so hard to be strong.
11:04Pero...
11:05...para akong nasa gilid ng isang bangin nakatayo at...
11:08...anytime pwede akong mahulog.
11:11And it's been like that for a while.
11:15Until you came along.
11:20And for the first time...
11:24...naramdaman ko na may makakapitan ako.
11:35Tinakailangan ko ngayon, Lucas.
11:40Makakapitan.
11:55Like I told you, Meryl.
11:58Kung kailangan mo ng tulungan dito, kung magsabi ka lang.
12:06Masayang masaya ako na pinilalaban ko na yung sarili mo.
12:13Pindahanan ko rin yan sa tatay ko kaya alam ko kung ganong kahirap.
12:18At hanggang ngayon...
12:20...niisip ko pa rin na...
12:25...sana may chance si nanay...
12:30...makalaya at lumabad kagaya mo.
12:40...makalaya ka rin kay Antun.
12:44Malalampasan mo doon.
12:47At nandito ako pa kailangan mo ng tulong.
13:00At nandito ako pa kailangan mo ng tulong.
13:02Ga, nakita mo ba yung salamin ko?
13:05Eh, baka nandyan lang.
13:09Ayun...
13:10...tungkod ko.
13:21Kuya Edward, yung pag-deliver ng donations at healing mass sa Santa Fe, kami na munang bahala.
13:28Magre-rent na lang po muna kami ng van.
13:30Ano ba kayo?
13:32Bakit naman?
13:34Eh, gagastos pa kayo. Nandyan naman yung van ko.
13:37Masa pa...
13:39...kaya ko naman eh.
13:43Nag-alala po kasi kami sa inyo ni Christina, pagkatapos nung nangyari.
13:48Ayaw na po namin dagdaga ng isipin ninyo.
13:51Nakakaya nga po eh.
13:52Kayo yung church leader.
13:55Tapos...
13:55...kayo pa po nagkasikasulat ng delivery sa itong ano-ano.

14:00Tsaka...

14:03Tsaka ano...
14:05...panata ako naman talaga ito buhay pa yung mga magulang ni Christina.
14:08Tinutuloy ko lang bilang pasasalamat sa pagtanggap nila sa akin.
14:12Tsaka isa pa...
14:13...may ba dapat talaga namang tinutuloy natin yung mga panata natin kahit na may mga pagsubok?
14:18Kasi...
14:19...doon natin malalaman kung...
14:21...gaano tayo katatag.
14:23Yung baka talaga, Kuya Edward?
14:25Kunti na lang po pwede ka nung maging santo.

15:00Magandang umaga, sir.
15:01Magandang umaga din hulo.
15:03Ingat po kayo.
15:04Ingat din po.
15:04Polt pwede kao.
15:09Pilat mo.
15:15Ibu.
15:21Ibu.
15:29If you haven't done that, it's."
15:30Ibu.
15:31Ibu.
15:32Ibu.
15:32Ibu.
15:32Ibu.
15:33Ibu.
15:33Ibu.
15:33Ibu.
15:34Ibu.
15:37All 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,
15:57the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act, or VAUCIE.
16:02Sorry, that acronym.
16:04It's better than G&G.
16:08Attorney Melendez, I 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, anong kaso ang ifafile natin sa kanya and what is your justification?
16:29Attempted homicide.
16:31Merong intent to kill.
16:32Well, the 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, gano'n na rin po?
16:47Kasi pareho naman kaming muntik na malintikan dun.
16:51Well, you have defensive wounds.
16:54Ah!
16:58Malt concussion.
16:59Sinaktang ka niya, yes.
17:00But he didn't intend to kill you.
17:03So, yours is less serious physical injuries.
17:07Ah, gano'n.
17:11What about me?
17:19Of course, we will push for dismissal.
17:22Pero dapat, handa tayong lumaban.
17:24Their biggest mistake?
17:27Ang ginawa sayo 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, struck against the head, which is a vital part of the
17:46body, suggests intent to kill or seriously wound.
17:49We will argue that this was not mere self-defense, but 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.
18:08Makakasuhan 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 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,
18:57and 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,
19:07hiwa-hiwalay na accounts of crime for Anton.
19:10Pero 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,
19:35at papalitan natin
19:36ng premeditated ambush and assault.
19:40How?
19:41Your wife deliberately
19:43lured 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.
19:52We will file counter charges
19:54for less serious or serious physical injuries
19:57against Eric and Beth.
19:58This 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.
20:13What about the coffee shop owner?
20:15Di ba witness siya?
20:16Ang nakita lang niya
20:17ay ang aftermath.
20:18She did not witness the 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 the family court.
20:33Different playground,
20:34different rules,
20:35different prosecutor,
20:36mas malalim ang tingin.
20:38Physical, emotional,
20:40psychological,
20:41financial, economic,
20:42the whole pattern of abuse.
20:45So we can paint the whole ugly picture.
20:47And speaking of family court,
20:49that is where
20:50you will file for protective order.
20:52attorney Melendez,
20:54why is it crucial
20:55to get a temporary protection order
20:58and what immediate win
21:00does it give your friend?
21:02The TPO is a non-negotiable legal mandate
21:05for immediate safety.
21:06The biggest win here
21:08is the exclusive possession
21:09of the conjugal hope.
21:11And family court can immediately
21:12issue a protective order
21:13within 24 hours
21:14without even talking to Anton.
21:16She's right, Mel.
21:18Legal na mapapalayas
21:19ng TPO si Anton
21:20sa bahay niya
21:21regardless na kung sino may-ari.
21:23Dahil under the law,
21:24your safety is the priority.
21:26It stops any form
21:27of financial violence
21:28or economic abuse.
21:30The TPO can restrict Anton
21:32from accessing his bank accounts,
21:34especially yung common
21:35bank accounts niyo
21:36or yung properties niyo,
21:37para hindi niya madrain
21:38ang joint accounts niyo
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,
21:48sabay-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 si Anton
22:00sa vowsy case mo.
22:07What do you think?
22:10Well,
22:11nakadepende yan sa kung
22:12anong kaya mo i-handle men.
22:14Pero personally,
22:15malinas ng one-two punch
22:16ng option two.
22:18Pero dahil sa
22:19bagal ng takbo ng hostesya
22:21dito sa badsang to.
22:23Right.
22:24Sabay-sabay na-handal
22:26yung mga kaso.
22:27And I want attorney Erica
22:28to defend me.
22:31Look at that.
22:32Instant dream team.
22:36Unfortunately, ladies,
22:37I am the lead public prosecutor.
22:40But with your consent,
22:42she can be your private prosecutor
22:45under my supervision.
22:47Like a co-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.
23:00Everything you need
23:01before the battle begins.
23:04Now,
23:06let's make sure
23:07Anton Montenegar regrets
23:10that he touched
23:11any of you.
23:13Finally,
23:14the PR strategy.
23:16We control
23:17the narrative.
23:18Anton,
23:19you are the
23:20betrayed husband.
23:21We will secure
23:23a psychological
23:23evaluation
23:24and strategically
23:25leaked portions of it
23:26claiming
23:27that you suffer
23:28from anxiety,
23:30depression,
23:31or PTSD.
23:32Because of your husband's
23:33the only one
23:34that they did
23:35when they attack 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 distraction
23:45from Mel's
23:46own betrayal.
23:49I like that.
23:56Importante
23:56ipagpatuli mo lang
23:57ang ginagawa mo.
23:59Keep talking
23:59about your heartbreak
24:00and the affair,
24:01but do not say
24:03anything aggressive
24:04against the women.
24:05We must subtly
24:07paint Mel,
24:08Erica,
24:09and Beth
24:09as a powerful
24:10and vicious group
24:11of women
24:12who are ganging up
24:13against a good man.
24:16If we control
24:17the narrative,
24:18we show the court
24:19there is reasonable doubt.
24:26That's easy.
24:50I don't want it
25:07to be over.
25:21Does it matter
25:21whether it's okay
25:21for your
Comments
