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 ourselves!
01:28And I can't wait to see it anymore.
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.

08:39I don't know.
08:42I don't know.
08:42What?
08:52I don't know.
08:53Alice, we're going to get out of here.
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?
09:35How 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.
09:53I've heard you.
09:57I'm still looking for everything.
10:00I'm calling you at night.
10:03Maybe I'm going to die.
10:05I'm with Erra.
10:07He's the only person I've seen.
10:10He's the only person I've seen.
10:11He's the only person I've seen in my hotel.
10:17You know that if you need to talk to me, I'm here, right?
10:25But...
10:28I don't want to be able to talk to you.
10:29What do you think?
10:31What?
10:34It's not like that to me.
10:38Talking with you means...
10:40I'm going to talk to you.
10:43Honestly, Lucas...
10:45...
10:46...
10:47...
10:47...
10:47...
10:55I feel so lost, Lucas.
11:00I'm trying so hard to be strong.
11:04But...
11:05...
11:05...
11:05...
11:06...
11:06...
11:07...
11:07...
11:07...
11:07...
11:08...
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.
11:41May makakapitan.
11:55Like I told you, Mel.
11:58Kung kailangan mo ng tulungan dito,
12:01kung 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 gano'ng kahirap.
12:17At hanggang ngayon,
12:20iisip ko pa rin na
12:25sana may chance si nanay
12:28na makalaya at lumabad kagaya mo.
12:40Makalaya ka rin kay Antun.
12:44Malalampasan mo doon.
12:47At nandito ako pa kailangan mo ng tulung.
12:59Mommy.
13:00Ay, sana din yung tsinilas ko.
13:02Ga, lakitamadong ba yung salamin ko?
13:05Ay, nagsina nandiyan lang.
13:09Ay, yung
13:10tungkod ko.
13:21Kuya Edward,
13:23yung pag-deliver ng donations at healing mass sa Santa Fe,
13:26kami na munang bahala.
13:28Magre-rent na lang po muna kami ng van.
13:31Ano ba kayo?
13:32Bakit naman?
13:34Eh, gagasos pa kayo. Nandiyan naman yung van ko.
13:37Masa pa...
13:38Kaya ko naman eh.
13:43Nag-alala po kasi kami sa inyo, ni Christina,
13:46pagkatapos nung nangyari.
13:48Ayaw na po namin dagdagan ang isipin ninyo.
13:51Nakakaya nga po eh.
13:52Kaya yung church leader,
13:54tapos kaya pa po nagkasikasulat ng delivery sa itong ano-ano.
13:59Wala naman sa akin yun,
14:00tsaka gusto ko naman yung ginagawa ko.
14:03Tsaka ano, panata ako naman talaga to,
14:06buhay pa yung mga magulang ni Christina.
14:08Tinutuloy ko lang bilang pasasalamat sa pagtanggap nila sa akin.
14:12Masa pa, may ba dapat talaga namang tinutuloy natin yung mga panata natin kahit na may mga pagsubok?
14:17Kasi doon natin malalaman kung gaano tayo katatag.
14:23Yung baka talaga, Kuya Edward?
14:25Kunti na lang po pwede ka nung maging santo.
14:29Kayo naman.
14:31Nagsagawa walang yung makakaya ko.
14:33Ha?
14:34Bire, hindi muna kayo.
14:36Sige po.
14:36Sige po.
14:37Kain ko.
14:38Pakabusog kayo, ha?
15:02Pag-iingat po kayo.
15:03I think I have them both.
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.
16:01Sorry, that acronym. It's better than G&G.
16:07Attorney 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.
16:31Merong intent to kill.
16:33The pipe struck to the head and the choking kigling 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 kami muntik na malintikan dun.
16:51Well, you have defensive wounds.
16:57Malt concussion, sinaktakan niya yes, but he didn't intend to kill you.
17:03So, yours is less serious physical injuries.
17:07Magano.
17:11What about me?
17:19Of course, we will push for dismissal.
17:22Pero dapat, handa tayong lumabal.
17:25Their biggest mistake?
17:27Ang ginawa sa'yo 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,
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.
17:58This 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?
18:22At 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 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 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 move 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.
19:32Next,
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,
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,
20:39emotional,
20:40psychological,
20:41financial,
20:41economic.
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 you will file for 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 legal mandate
21:05for immediate safety.
21:06The biggest win here
21:08is the exclusive possession
21:09of the conjugal hope.
21:10And family court can immediately
21:12issue a protective order
21:13within 24 hours
21:14without even talking to Anton.
21:17She'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 mag-drain
21:38ang 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,
21:48sabay-sabay natin
21:49ipoprosecute ang 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
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.
22:23Sabay-sabay na-andar
22:26yung mga kaso.
22:27And I want
22:28attorney Erica
22:28to defend me.
22:31Look at that.
22:32Instant dream team.
22:35Unfortunately, ladies,
22:37I am the lead
22:38public prosecutor.
22:40But,
22:41with your consent,
22:42she
22:43can be your private prosecutor
22:45under my supervision.
22:47Like 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,
23:06let's make sure
23:07Anton Montenegro
23:09regrets
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.
23:22We will secure
23:23a psychological evaluation
23:24and strategically
23:25leak portions of it,
23:26claiming
23:27na nagsasuffer ka
23:29ng anxiety,
23:30depression,
23:31or PTSD
23:32dahil sa pangangaliwan
23:33ng asawa mo
23:34and yung ginawa nilang
23:35pag-atake sayo.
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.
23:56Importante
23:56ipagpatuli mo lang
23:57yung ginagawa mo.
23:59Keep talking
23:59about your
24:00heartbreak
24:00and the affair,
24:01but
24:02do 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
24:11group of women
24:12who are ganging up
24:13against a good man.
24:15if we control
24:17the narrative,
24:18we show the
24:19court there
24:20is reasonable
24:20doubt.
24:25That's easy.
24:50I don't know.
24:52I don't know.
24:54I'm afraid I'm going to be the reason why you don't leave my dad.
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.
25:05But I don't want it to be over.
25:08Are you sure you're going to be able to stay here?
25:11The police are out there.
25:13It's just like that if he's back here.
