00:46 So, you're saying that you're a legitimate daughter of Ramiro Engano?

00:51 Did something happen to them?

00:56 No.

00:57 To be honest, I don't know my biological mother.

01:02 Tinang just saved me because I'm not a part of Ramiro's family.

01:08 Why are you just sharing that information now?

01:11 When Eno got arrested,

01:14 we trusted you with our son.

01:17 But it turns out that you're his brother's accuser.

01:21 I really planned to tell you from the beginning.

01:25 I just didn't find the right time.

01:28 Well, how convenient.

01:30 Who knows if you're really going to hide your true identity because you have a different agenda.

01:36 No, sir.

01:38 I have no bad intentions.

01:41 In fact, I've been without relatives for a long time.

01:45 They're not the family I consider.

01:48 I'm not trying to hide from you.

01:51 Please believe me.

01:54 Even if they're my blood, I'm still under your protection.

01:57 I don't want to listen to your excuses.

02:00 Because we can't trust you anymore.

02:03 The bottom line is,

02:06 forget about my husband's offer.

02:08 You're on my son's defense team.

02:11 Now, please leave!

02:59 [piano music]

03:02 Oh.

03:03 Why are you sad?

03:05 Is there a problem?

03:07 No.

03:09 I talked to the CRD.

03:13 They said I'm not on your defense team anymore.

03:17 Huh?

03:18 Why did you leave?

03:20 You're one of the best lawyers in DNR, right?

03:27 Besides,

03:28 Ino is comfortable with you.

03:31 He'll help you a lot when you're under trial.

03:34 The CRD is a big deal.

03:38 If you really want Ino to be acquitted,

03:42 he'll hire you as his co-counsel.

03:44 But only if there's a bigger reason.

03:47 The CRD is trying to steal my loyalty.

03:52 Inano is my half-sister.

03:58 She raped Ino.

04:01 Cons,

04:03 you haven't been suddenly

04:07 a sub-decision.

04:09 Think about it before you send Lillet away

04:13 to the defense team.

04:15 I don't have a choice.

04:18 We can't trust Lillet.

04:21 Who knows?

04:23 Maybe at this very moment,

04:25 she's just spying on us so she can sleep in our enemy's camp.

04:29 She's her sister.

04:30 That's not how I know her.

04:33 Look, Lorena.

04:36 From the very start, I know that you've been very fond of Lillet.

04:41 But this is not the time to be emotional.

04:45 Our son's future and freedom is on the line.

04:50 Exactly.

04:53 I need to get closer to Lillet.

04:55 I know she can help a lot in this case.

04:59 It's not right to question your loyalty to the CRD.

05:04 You won't compromise your professionalism and duty as an attorney, right?

05:10 Even if you're related to the accused party,

05:14 I know you'll be more tolerant of your integrity

05:19 and you'll defend your rights to Ino.

05:23 I'm not pushing for Lillet because she's my favorite.

05:27 I'm recommending her to you because I believe in her ability.

05:33 There are many other competent lawyers in the DNR law.

05:37 I'd rather get one of them than get a lawyer that's related to your opponent.

05:43 Our son's future is at stake.

05:46 We might be the last ones to blame.

05:50 Believe me, Lorena, this is our best option.

05:53 I'm just curious, Attorney Lillet.

06:04 Is it true that Mr. Ramir is your son?

06:09 So, if that's the case,

06:14 why are you forcing yourself to be a part of the CRD?

06:19 Why don't you join your sister's rival party?

06:21 How do you know my connection with the accused?

06:26 I'm just doing my job.

06:29 My personal life is out there.

06:32 I don't need to explain it to you. It's my decision.

06:35 Can you mind your own business?

06:38 Are you that ambitious?

06:42 You're sacrificing your whole family

06:46 just to get a chance to get close to your bosses.

06:49 Attorney Melissa, enough.

06:51 Hurt, stop.

06:53 And for what?

06:55 Just to promote?

06:57 My God, that's so pathetic.

07:01 Come on, don't mind her.

07:03 Wait, I can't let her go.

07:06 You know what, Melissa?

07:08 That's why you're not getting promoted and our bosses are not impressed with you.

07:13 Because instead of putting yourself as your lawyer,

07:16 you're putting yourself as your lawyer.

07:19 You're not fit to be in court.

07:21 You're more fit to be in the market, in the field, with the gossip.

07:25 I'll hit you in the head with this.

07:30 So that you'll stop being arrogant.

07:32 Melissa, what are you doing?

07:34 Stop it, Hurt.

07:36 And to prove that you don't belong anywhere.

07:39 Your father's family doesn't like you anymore?

07:42 CRD and Ma'am Lorena don't like you?

07:44 You're pitiful.

07:46 You're a stapler,

07:49 that you can't even insult anyone.

07:52 You're so strong-willed, you're even challenging me.

07:59 I might just slap you, you're already a coward.

08:02 Next time, pick someone your own size, okay?

08:05 Yes, you're bigger than me.

08:10 But your insecurity is bigger.

08:12 For example, you can't kick me out, that's why you're doing your career to bash me.

08:17 Don't be like that.

08:19 You're just working, you're not just doing your job.

08:23 I told you to stop it, right?

08:26 Our bosses might see you, it's embarrassing for them.

08:31 What about you two? Do you want to be suspended or lose your jobs?

08:38 Well, if I were you, Lilet,

08:40 you should update your resume.

08:43 Do you think CRD will allow a guy to stay in their firm?

08:50 You should clean your desk, because you've been here for so long.

08:56 Attorney Melissa,

08:58 you should be the one who's nervous that you might lose your job.

09:03 You might forget.

09:06 You should forget.

09:07 We signed a non-disclosure agreement

09:11 and we promised that we won't disclose all the information we have here in the office.

09:17 If you want to stay here,

09:22 shut your mouth.

09:26 Shut your mouth about what you're discovering,

09:32 about the connection between Attorney Lilet and the clients.

09:35 Do you understand?

09:37 Hey, are you okay?

09:50 What Melissa is saying is not true.

09:54 CRD will remove me because my brother is the one who's accusing their son.

09:58 No, no, no, I don't think so.

10:02 I don't think so.

10:03 You're not doing anything wrong, right?

10:08 You're just doing your job right.

10:11 They lost their reason to sue you.

10:15 I'm going to record this for my own reference, okay?

10:28 Okay.

10:29 When your friend Hailey came to the beach party venue,

10:38 you talked to Eno.

10:40 What did you talk about?

10:42 We lost.

10:44 Eno was so mad at me

10:48 because Hailey and I had a gatecrash in her party.

10:52 I was so upset

10:56 because she broke up with me.

10:59 And then what happened?

11:03 I started drinking

11:06 because I'm so hurt

11:10 with everything Eno told me.

11:14 I drank alone at the beach.

11:19 So, after you drank,

11:25 what happened next?

11:27 How did you end up in the room?

11:30 I already told my affidavit.

11:35 Why are we repeating it again?

11:39 Trixie,

11:42 the story in your affidavit needs to be consistent.

11:46 Especially when you were asked on the spot

11:49 when there's a clarifying hearing in the fiscal year.

11:53 We're just preparing.

11:55 Please answer the question.

11:58 Trixie,

12:01 answer the question.

12:03 How can we help you if you won't help us?

12:06 Mom,

12:09 can you stop?

12:11 I don't want to.

12:14 And I'm sorry.

12:16 I'm sorry, I can't tell you again.

12:21 [sobbing]

12:24 I can't go back to that night.

12:27 I can't because it's so horrible, it's so painful.

12:33 I'm sorry if I'm having a hard time telling you.

12:40 I'm sorry.

12:42 I'm so sorry.

12:43 I can't.

12:45 And if you'll replace me,

12:47 I'm sorry, Mom. I can't.

12:50 I don't want to.

12:51 It's like experiencing that nightmare all over again.

12:57 I'm sorry.

13:02 Trixie!

13:04 Patricia,

13:06 just give her space.

13:09 It's our fault we've been pushing her too hard.

13:13 That's why we're preparing her, right?

13:17 So that when she gets to the court, she'll be brave enough to tell all the animals and all the things she did to her.

13:25 I'll be honest with you, Ramir.

13:35 If word gets out that Trixie's half-sister is on the side of the accused,

13:41 that won't help us.

13:46 The public has the propensity to be curious and to make some assumptions.

13:50 The last thing we want is for the people to think that Trixie's half-sister doesn't believe her.

13:58 So why would they believe her too?

14:00 Maybe the trial hasn't even started yet and Trixie's already been judged in the court of public opinion.

14:08 So what are you suggesting?

14:14 That I should deny to the public that my daughter is Lilet?

14:16 If I do that, maybe my daughter will be a real bitch.

14:21 And we'll be cut off from the world so that we can still be together.

14:27 That's not what I'm trying to suggest.

14:30 I would recommend that you get Lilet to be part of the prosecution team.

14:37 So that the public will know her.

14:43 Maybe Lilet is mad at me because I've been avoiding her.

14:46 I don't think I can convince her to help Trixie.

14:51 Lilet is a kind and good person.

14:56 I'm sure that she won't be able to stand her sister.

15:00 After all, you're her family.

15:05 I've tried reaching out but she's not answering my calls.

15:12 Keep on trying.

15:13 If you can't contact her, go to her.

15:18 Talk to her.

15:20 Convince her.

15:22 Your family needs her right now.

15:41 Lilet.

15:42 Can I talk to you?

15:44 No.

15:47 Atty. Kurt, you go ahead. I'll go there.

15:49 Are you sure?

15:52 What do you need from me?

16:11 Lilet, I'm sorry for coming here.

16:14 I didn't mean to ambush you but I had no choice.

16:17 You're not answering my texts.

16:19 I think it's better for us to stop communicating.

16:26 The reason is obvious.

16:29 My in-laws are the ones who are demanding for you.

16:33 I don't want to get involved with your family.

16:39 Actually, the reason I came here is because I have a request.

16:45 Lilet.

16:55 My child.

16:57 I'm talking to you.

17:00 Stop being so hasty.

17:03 Stop helping Inong. We need you more.

17:07 Help us get justice for your brother.

17:10 Can you be Trixie's lawyer?

17:14 I'm sorry, Sir Ramiro.

17:34 I won't give you your request.

17:36 Just find another lawyer.

17:38 Are you that angry with us because you don't want to help us?

17:44 Are you going to choose to believe Trixie's rape?

17:47 Just so you know, I'm not a part of Ino's defense team anymore.

17:53 Because I found out that Lorena and Constantino's attorney are Trixie's siblings.

17:58 But even if I'm not Ino's lawyer, I'm still not giving you my consent.

18:03 Look, I know I'm asking for a lot.

18:06 But I believe that if you're a good lawyer,

18:10 you can help us get justice for your brother.

18:15 I'm sorry, Sir Ramiro.

18:17 But I won't give you your request.

18:19 Just find another lawyer.

18:22 Why? Because Patricia didn't accept you as Trixie's?

18:26 Because I don't know you as a child?

18:28 No. I don't have a personality.

18:32 I just have a personality that I will accept a case

18:36 if I believe that my goal is in the court.

18:40 What are you saying?

18:42 You don't believe that Trixie is the victim in this case?

18:46 If you don't have anything else to say, I need to go home.

18:53 Wait.

18:54 [♪♪♪]

18:57 [♪♪♪]

19:00 [♪♪♪]

19:27 Ino, let's go inside.

19:30 Attorney Patrick is waiting.

19:32 He wants to ask you more questions for your counter affidavit.

19:37 Is Attorney Patrick alone?

19:39 Where's Attorney Lilet?

19:41 Attorney Patrick will be your dad's co-counsel.

19:50 Lilet was taken out of the defense team

19:55 because we found out that she's Trixie's half-sister.

19:59 They are siblings.

20:01 I don't get it.

20:03 If they're related, why is Attorney Lilet helping me?

20:08 Why is that her only concern for me?

20:11 I think she believes that you're innocent.

20:16 That's one thing that I admire about Lilet.

20:20 She's very professional.

20:23 She's willing to put her personal relationships in her job as a lawyer.

20:29 Well, Mom, if you believe in her so much,

20:35 why did you take her out of my defense team?

20:37 Because your dad is worried about her loyalty.

20:44 Because he believes that Lilet might have a conflict of interest.

20:52 Mom, I don't believe that her loyalty is questionable.

20:57 In fact, she's the first person to believe in me.

21:01 During the time that I was in my lowest point,

21:05 she's the only one who can make me strong.

21:07 That's why I can see that she's genuinely concerned about me.

21:11 I don't want another attorney, Mom.

21:16 I only trust Ate Lilet.

21:20 I want her to be my lawyer.

21:22 Please, Mom.

21:26 Cons, I know that Ino is persistent.

21:38 She also wants to be with Lilet in the defense team.

21:41 It's not his call, Lorena.

21:46 As her father and lawyer, I know what's best for her.

21:51 As his mother, I believe that I also have a say on this matter.

22:04 I agree with Ino.

22:06 That's why you should reconsider your decision.

22:12 I really think that Lilet will have a big help to win this case.

22:17 Are we going to lose this again?

22:25 I've told you many times that we can't trust attorney Lilet.

22:31 Because she's a womanizer.

22:34 There's no reason for us to suspect Lilet.

22:41 Yesterday, I heard that she talked to her father, Ramir Ayano.

22:45 He was trying to convince her to switch sides.

22:49 But Lilet didn't agree to be her brother's lawyer.

22:53 Even so, that's still not enough reason for me to co-counsel attorney Matias.

23:00 How can I trust someone who hid his true identity?

23:08 Listen to me, Cons.

23:10 It's not a problem if Lilet agrees.

23:14 With all due respect to attorney Patrick, I know that he's also good.

23:20 But it would be more helpful if our daughter's lawyer is a woman.

23:25 Cons, Lilet is getting famous for being the lawyer of the marginalized for the falsely accused.

23:38 So, look.

23:39 If Trixie will use her womanhood in court to make us feel sorry while painting our son to be the bad boy,

23:49 Lilet will be the example that not all women look down on our son.

23:58 [music]

24:00 [singing]

24:08 So, you're still defending your innocence?

24:14 I'm the victim here.

24:16 Because of what you're doing, you're just proving that I'm right.

24:20 You shouldn't have loved.

24:23 If you're going to choose to defend the people who are being exposed by Trixie,

24:27 if you don't like me, we don't like you more.

24:30 I hope I'm not your father, not your son.

24:33 Because you're the biggest mistake of my life.

24:37 The case has been ruffled.

24:39 The arraignment has been scheduled.

24:41 Who's the judge? Serafina Agustin?

24:43 I know Judge Agustin not only as a staunch women's rights advocate,

24:47 she's also notorious for imprisoning rapists.

24:51 Good day, Your Honor.

24:52 Attorney Katharina Almudal, respectfully appearing as a private prosecutor

24:56 under the direct supervision and control of the public prosecutor.
