00:01Excuse me, sir. Need a shoeshine?
00:04Leave it, Mr. Villanava. He's probably looking for a handout.
00:07No, sir. I work for my money.
00:11How much?
00:12Three dollars, sir. I'll make them look brand new.
00:16You do good work, son.
00:18My mom says even a small job deserves your best effort.
00:22Why are you working in weather like this?
00:24My mom's in the hospital.
00:26What about your father?
00:28It's always just been me and mom.
00:32Sir, this is way too much.
00:33Keep it. For your mother.
00:38You left that on purpose?
00:40I want to know what kind of kid he really is.
00:42Sir, he's just a shoeshine kid.
00:48Mr. Villanava!
00:50This isn't mine. I need to ask mom what I should do.
00:55Jericho, what's that?
00:56The man I worked for left it behind.
00:58Did you look inside?
01:00No.
01:01Good. Let's look together.
01:08Mom, this could pay for all your medicine.
01:10I know. And we really need it.
01:13But needing it doesn't make it ours.
01:15A clean conscience is worth more than money.
01:18What if he thinks I took something?
01:19Then tell him the truth.
01:21I'll return it tomorrow.
01:23The storm's getting worse.
01:26If I wait until tomorrow, it might be too late.
01:28I'm taking it back tonight.
01:30Jericho, it's pouring outside.
01:32I have to do the right thing.
01:43Mr. Villanava, I'm sorry.
01:46Jericho, what happened to you?
01:49I'm okay.
01:50What matters is, I made it here.
01:54You came all the way here in this rain?
01:59Take this.
02:00No, sir.
02:02Why not?
02:03You earned it.
02:04You proved you're honest.
02:06I just did what was right.
02:12Wait.
02:13Where did you get that necklace?
02:15My mom gave it to me.
02:17She's had it a long time?
02:19Yes, sir.
02:25What's your name, son?
02:27Jericho Villanueva, sir.
02:29Jericho Villanueva.
02:30I need to speak with your mother.
02:32Is something wrong?
02:32I don't know yet.
02:33But there are some things we need to find out.
