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.
01:12the end of the week!
01:15The lion.
01:17I'm not going to take care of us.
01:18The lion.
01:18The lion.
01:19The lion!
01:21The lion.
01:23The lion.
01:25The lion.
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,
09:45you're not okay.
09:53Narinig ko kayo.
09:58Pinipilit ko paring harapin lahat.
10:01Tinatawagan kita kagabi.
10:03Baka magsak ko na ako nun.
10:05Kasama si Erica.
10:07Siya lang yung taong unang nakakita sa akin at
10:11ang magandang loob na i-hatid ako sa hotel ko.
10:17Alam mo naman na pagkailangan mo nang kausap, nandito lang ako, di ba?
10:25Pero
10:27ayaw kong makalagdag sa iniisip mo.
10:31What?
10:33It's not like that to me.
10:38Talking with you means
10:40may nakakausap din ako.
10:43At honestly, Lucas,
10:45sa lat ng tao,
10:47ikaw lang ako nakakauntindi sa totoong pinigladaanan ko.
10:55I feel so lost, Lucas.
11:00I'm trying so hard to be strong.
11:04Pero
11:04para akong nasa gilid ng isang bangin nakatayo at
11:08anytime pwede akong mahulog.
11:11And 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.
11:35Tinakailangan ko ngayon, Lucas.
11:41Makakapitan.
11:55Like I told you, Mel.
11:58Kung kailangan mo ng tulungan dito,
12:01kung magsabi ka lang.
12:06Sayang masaya ako
12:07na binilalaban ko na yung sarili mo.
12:13Pindahanan ko rin niya sa tatay ko
12:15kaya alam ko kung gaano kahirap.
12:18At hanggang ngayon,
12:20iisip ko pa rin na
12:25sana may chance si Nanay
12:30kamakalaya at lumabad kagaya mo.
12:40Makalaya ka rin kay Antun.
12:44Malalampasan mo doon.
12:47At nandito ako pa kailangan mo ng tulong.
13:00Bailang may asa rin sini na eto.
13:02Hindi mo makikmin.
13:03Lagitano ba ba yung salamin ko?
13:05Ayun.
13:05At nandyan lang?
13:07Ayun.
13:09At tinong ko?
13:21Mr. Edward, the delivery of donations and healing masks at Santa Fe, we're going to take care of it.
13:28We're going to rent the van first.
13:30What are you doing? Why?
13:34You're going to pay for it. My van is here.
13:38I can't do it.
13:43We're going to remember you, Christina, after that happened.
13:48We don't have to worry about you.
13:51It's okay. You're the leader of church.
13:54Then you're still going to send all the deliveries.
13:58That's not me. I really like what I'm doing.
14:04I've heard about Christina's mother.
14:06Christina's mother.
14:08I'm just going to thank you so much for your attention to me.
14:12It's okay.
14:13It's okay.
14:14We're going to continue our letters even if we're going to struggle.
14:18Because we're going to know where we're going.
14:23That's right, Mr. Edward.
14:26You're going to have to be a priest.
14:29You're going to be a priest.
14:31You're going to be a priest.
14:33You are.
14:34I'm doing it.
14:35Let me go.
14:36Ok, I'll eat it.
14:38Yes, sir, sir.
14:38I'll eat it.
14:41You're hungry.
14:57What happened?
14:58Yes, sir.
15:00Good evening, sir.
15:01Good evening.
15:03You're welcome.
15:03I'm all right.
15:05Yes, sir.
15:05I'm all right.
15:06I'm all right.
15:06I'm all right.
15:06Thanks, sir.
15:10I'm all right.
15:10Hey, sir.
15:11Hey, sir.
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. It's better than G&G.
16:08Attorney 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. The pipe struck to the head and the choking
16:35galing show intent.
16:38Exactly. He missed the kill. But we won't.
16:44Mrs. Mora.
16:46Ah, ganon na rin po? Kasi pareho naman kaming muntik na malintikan dun eh.
16:51Well...
16:52You have defensive wounds.
16:54Ah!
16:55Don't, ah, ah!
16:58Mouth concussion,
16:59Yes, but he didn't intend to kill you.
17:03So, yours is less serious physical injuries.
17:07That's right.
17:11What about me?
17:19Of course, we will push for dismissal.
17:21But we should be able to escape.
17:25Their biggest mistake?
17:27Alice's what she did with you.
17:31Attorney,
17:33Is there a big chance for us?
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 or seriously wound.
17:49We will argue that this was not mere self-defense,
17:53but an unlawful,
17:55calculated and 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 their little group.
18:15You are not the criminal, darling.
18:19You are the plot twist.
18:21At ginawa mo kung anong dapat gawin
18:24ng isang babae kapag sinubok ng halimaw.
18:28Lumaban.
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-hiwalay na counts 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?
19:42Your wife deliberately
19:43lured you to the isolated area
19:45of the coffee shop
19:46using a phone call.
19:48Dahil 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 saktanta.
20:12What about the coffee shop owner?
20:14Di 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 the 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 the whole ugly picture.
20:48And speaking of family court,
20:49that is where you will file
20:51for protective order.
20:53Attorney 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
21:04legal mandate for immediate safety.
21:06The biggest win here
21:08is the exclusive possession
21:09of the conjugal hope.
21:11And family court
21:11can immediately issue
21:12a protective order
21:13within 24 hours
21:14without even talking to Anton.
21:16She's right, Mel.
21:18Legal na mapapalayas ng TPO
21:20si Anton sa 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 of financial violence
21:28or economic abuse.
21:30The TPO can restrict Anton
21:32from accessing his bank accounts,
21:34especially yung common bank accounts niyo
21:36or yung properties niyo
21:37para hindi niya madrain
21:38ang joint accounts niyo
21:39at ibenta yung assets.
21:40Now, on to the strategy.
21:43You have two choices
21:45on how to proceed
21:46with the prosecution.
21:46One,
21:47sabay-sabay nating
21:49ipoprosecute
21:49ang lahat ng cases,
21:51double-core drama.
21:52Or two,
21:53win the collective criminal cases first
21:56and use that win
21:58para matalo si Anton
22:00sa vowsy case mo.
22:08What do you think?
22:10Well,
22:11nakadepende yan sa kung anong kaya mo i-handle men.
22:14Pero personally,
22:15malinas ng one-two punch ng option two.
22:17Pero dahil sa bagal
22:20ng takbo ng hostisya dito sa badsang to.
22:23Right.
22:24Sabay-sabay naaanda yung mga kaso.
22:27And I want attorney Erica
22:57to defend me.
22:58waiting for testimony.
23:00Everything you need
23:01before the battle begins.
23:04Now,
23:06let's make sure
23:07Anton Montenegro regrets
23:10that he touched any of you.
23:13Finally,
23:15the PR strategy.
23:16We control the narrative.
23:19Anton,
23:20you are the betrayed husband.
23:21We will secure a psychological evaluation
23:24and strategically leak portions of it
23:26claiming
23:27na nagsasuffer ka ng anxiety,
23:30depression,
23:31or PTSD
23:31dahil sa pangangaliwan ng asawa mo
23:34and yung ginawa nilang pag-atake sayo.
23:36We will argue
23:37your rage was a result
23:39of a powerful
23:40and blinding fit of passion,
23:42making the Val C. case
23:44look like a distraction
23:45from Mel's own betrayal.
23:49I like that.
23:56Importante ang ipagpatuli mo lang
23:57ang ginagawa mo.
23:59Keep talking about your heartbreak
24:00and the affair,
24:01but
24:02do not say anything aggressive
24:04against the women.
24:06We must subtly paint Mel,
24:08Erica, and Beth
24:09as a powerful
24:10and vicious group of women
24:12who are ganging up
24:13against a good man.
24:16If we control the narrative,
24:18we show the court
24:19there is reasonable doubt.
24:26That's easy.
24:40Mr.
24:41Mr.
24:52Mr.
24:53There's a lot of new things.
24:54I'm afraid of it.
24:56It's my reason for you 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, Ned.
25:05It's done, Ned.
25:06But I don't want it to be over.
25:08Are you sure you're okay to go to the hospital?
25:11There are some police out there.
25:13Where is he going if he's back here?
