00:00You're the winner, isn't the story over?

00:06It's not always a loss, it's not always a win.

00:12Parasite, they're here to file a case.

00:14According to our law, that case is non-bailable.

00:17I'm sorry, sis, but I have no control over the decision-maker.

00:20There's nothing I can do.

00:22My son is pitiful.

00:24He doesn't deserve to be jailed.

00:27He's kind, and he's afraid of God.

00:33I don't deserve your kindness, Lillet.

00:35It's my fault.

00:37What did you do to me?

00:57Lillet, why did he say it's your fault?

01:16What did you do wrong?

01:18It's my fault because I can only give you moral support.

01:26You saved my son from staying in prison.

01:30But I can't do anything for you, Lillet.

01:35Moral support is already a big thing for me.

01:39And I don't expect anything in return for helping you before.

01:45Thanks for understanding, Lillet.

01:48Don't blame me for your father's death.

01:58He's the one who should be guilty.

02:01He's the one who should be afraid.

02:04When I get out of here,

02:07I will do everything to find out who he is.

02:11And I will make sure that he will pay for what he did.

02:19Manang!

02:27Manang!

02:36Manang!

02:41Manang!

03:03Manang!

03:07Sir Eno, what are you doing here?

03:10Manang, I've been calling you but you didn't answer.

03:12So I asked you to come here.

03:14What are you doing?

03:16I just felt dizzy, so I went to my room to drink some water.

03:20Are you sure that's the only reason?

03:23Okay, bring me a snack.

03:25Please, bring it to my room.

03:26Bring it to my room.

03:47Ma, what is this?

03:49What's going on?

03:52I'm just doing some house cleaning.

03:56I'm getting rid of all the trash.

03:59I don't like that.

04:01Let's throw it away.

04:03Mom, dad has a lot of stuff.

04:05Exactly.

04:09Oh, Trixie.

04:13Your dad doesn't like us anymore.

04:15He doesn't need us anymore.

04:17So we don't need him anymore in our lives.

04:21I give up.

04:23Even if I ask him to go to the UN a few more times,

04:26he still rejects me.

04:28I don't want it anymore.

04:30I don't want it anymore.

04:31You know what?

04:32I really don't care.

04:34That's enough.

04:35You're just drunk, that's why you said that.

04:37No, Eha.

04:38I'm really serious this time.

04:40I'm really serious.

04:41We won't be coming back to your dad.

04:44It's fine.

04:46I'm already mad at him.

04:48That's what's important.

04:51What exactly do you mean by that?

04:56What I mean is,

04:57I'm already mad at him

04:59because Lilet is already in jail.

05:03He can't be with anyone anymore.

05:07He will be alone and miserable.

05:12Good for him.

05:14Mom.

05:15Mom, stop.

05:16Wake up.

05:17Can you get rid of that?

05:18I don't like that.

05:21I don't like that.

05:28Sir, your coffee is here.

05:31Okay, put it there.

05:39Why?

05:41Do you have anything else to say?

05:45What's the matter, Marites?

05:48I'm sorry, sir.

05:49But you need to know something.

05:55Why are you standing there?

05:56Speak up.

05:57What do I need to know?

06:01Hi, hon.

06:03Sorry, I'm late.

06:04Hi.

06:05Why are you late?

06:06Where did you come from?

06:07I went to visit a friend.

06:08The story was good,

06:10that's why I lost track of time.

06:12Okay.

06:13What's going on?

06:15What is Marites doing here?

06:19Well,

06:21he was going to tell me something

06:23but he was interrupted.

06:24Then you came.

06:26So, Marites, speak up.

06:28What do you want to tell me?

06:31Ah,

06:32well,

06:36Well?

06:37Can I ask you something?

06:40Yes.

06:41Well?

06:42I just want to say goodbye, sir.

06:44If I can get my salary back.

06:49That's all?

06:50I thought it was something urgent.

06:52Okay, tomorrow.

06:53I'll give you the money.

06:56Thank you, sir.

07:07Attorney,

07:09here it is.

07:10Huh?

07:11I'll go get it.

07:12Thank you, Mayora.

07:18Thank you for all your help.

07:33Attorney!

07:34What did you do?

07:36Attorney!

07:37What did you do?

07:39Attorney Ignacio,

07:41you know I can't believe

07:42that you changed the keystone

07:43to be Attorney Lilet's co-counsel.

07:46Some would say that's

07:48career suicide.

07:49This is not career suicide,

07:50Attorney Renan.

07:52This is called

07:54fulfilling my sworn duty

07:57to protect the innocent

07:58and fight for justice.

08:00I see.

08:01But are you ready for the fight?

08:04Do you know what you're doing?

08:06I'm curious to know,

08:07Attorney, please indulge me.

08:09How does a rookie like you

08:10expect to win against

08:11a seasoned criminal lawyer

08:12like myself?

08:16I know you have

08:17more experience than I do.

08:19But I have one big advantage

08:20that you don't have.

08:22And that is?

08:26The truth is in my hands.

08:29Because Lilet is a true innocent.

08:33That's why I'm confident

08:34that I can absolve her.

08:37Okay.

08:40Good luck.

08:48This court has taken note

08:51of all the arguments

08:53raised by both parties

08:56regarding the petition

08:58for bail of the accused.

09:00Counsels,

09:02any further oral arguments

09:05for today's hearing?

09:07Your Honor,

09:09I would like to reiterate

09:11that we strongly oppose

09:12this petition for bail.

09:14As argued earlier,

09:15the pieces of evidence

09:16that we gathered

09:17present a strong case for guilt

09:19against Attorney Lilet Matias.

09:21Therefore,

09:22she should not be eligible

09:23for bail.

09:24Your Honor,

09:25clearly,

09:26the pieces of evidence

09:27presented by the prosecution

09:28does not equate

09:30to a strong evidence of guilt.

09:32As previously presented,

09:34there are several loopholes

09:36in the eyewitness testimony

09:38of Evelyn Magas.

09:40Therefore,

09:41it is not enough basis

09:43to deny the petition for bail

09:45of Attorney Matias.

09:47Your Honor,

09:48this case is about

09:49a brutal act

09:51committed in cold blood.

09:53If bail is granted,

09:55then the accused

09:56poses a significant threat

09:57of fleeing.

09:58Particularly,

09:59given that the gravity

10:01of her charges

10:02are quite severe,

10:03Your Honor.

10:05Furthermore,

10:06it could also endanger

10:07public safety,

10:08not to mention

10:09that it could set

10:10the dangerous precedent

10:11that violent crimes

10:12can be excused

10:13with monetary conditions.

10:16Your Honor,

10:17I implore you

10:19to please

10:20deny this petition for bail.

10:23Granting bail

10:24to Attorney Lilet Matias

10:25would be tantamount

10:26to setting a criminal free,

10:27Your Honor.

10:28And frankly,

10:29that's just

10:30something I vehemently believe

10:31that this court

10:32should never allow.

10:33♪

10:53Your Honor,

10:54what Attorney Allen said

10:56is preposterous!

10:59When he mentioned

11:00public safety,

11:01it's as if

11:02he has totally forgotten

11:03the physical structure

11:04of the accused.

11:06In the grant of bail,

11:07being tantamount

11:08to setting a criminal free

11:10is a slip

11:11I may possibly expect

11:13from a new bar passer.

11:15A seasoned criminal lawyer

11:17should not loosely call

11:19an accused

11:20a criminal.

11:22The prosecution

11:23is clearly playing

11:24on fears and emotions,

11:26and supposes

11:27strong guilt of the accused

11:29is only anchored

11:31on the sole

11:32eyewitness testimony

11:35in which highly questionable

11:38and most importantly,

11:40Attorney Lilet Matias

11:41deserves the chance

11:42to defend herself

11:44or should not be called

11:45or even referred to

11:46in passing

11:47as a criminal.

11:49Your Honor,

11:50let it be stated

11:51on the record

11:52and for Attorney Ignacio's benefit

11:54that nowhere

11:55in my previous statement

11:56did I ever call

11:57the accused a criminal

11:58unless the word tantamount

12:00doesn't mean anything anymore.

12:02Your Honor, that's all.

12:05Attorney Matias?

12:10Your Honor,

12:11I understand

12:12the repercussions

12:13of non-appearance

12:14resulting to a trial

12:16in absentia.

12:18Most importantly,

12:19I don't have a reason

12:20to flee nor hide

12:21for I am confident

12:23that I can prove myself

12:24innocent before this court.

12:26I am more than determined

12:27to see this case through

12:29so that I can start

12:30going after my mother's

12:31real killer.

12:35Your Honor?

12:36Yes, Attorney Allen?

12:38Although the accused

12:39claims that she has

12:40no intentions of fleeing,

12:41unfortunately,

12:42intentions alone

12:43is just not sufficient

12:45to ensure

12:46that she will not jump bail.

12:48In fact,

12:49it is the prosecution's

12:51duty to ensure

12:52that this community

12:53is protected, Your Honor.

12:54And in good conscience,

12:55we cannot allow

12:56to release someone

12:57who has already shown

12:58a potential for violence,

12:59Your Honor.

13:00I urge you

13:01to please consider

13:03the implications

13:04of granting bail

13:06and deny this claim

13:07if only,

13:09if only,

13:10that the court would send

13:12the message

13:13that the privilege of bail

13:14should only be reserved

13:15to those

13:16who truly deserve it.

13:26♪

13:46Having heard

13:49the oral arguments

13:50presented

13:52by both parties

13:54regarding the

13:56bail petition

13:57for the accused,

13:58Attorney Lillet Matias,

14:01I find it prudent

14:04to allow both parties

14:05to have more time

14:08to enable them

14:11to be able to present

14:13more witnesses

14:16to bolster their position.

14:20Clerk of Court,

14:22please schedule

14:23another hearing

14:24within two weeks' time.

14:27As you know,

14:29this is a system procedure,

14:32so the court

14:34will decide

14:35within 30 days

14:37from when

14:39we first convened.

14:41Until then,

14:43Attorney Lillet Matias

14:45remains in custody.

14:49This court

14:51is adjourned.

14:52♪

15:22Attorney Lillet Matias,

15:23you have always

15:24advocated

15:25your innocence.

15:26What evidence

15:27do you think

15:28can support

15:29your statements?

15:31I'm sorry,

15:32but I can't

15:33deny you

15:34our defense.

15:41Maybe

15:43she doesn't have

15:44evidence to prove

15:45that she's innocent.

15:47That's why

15:48she can't answer you.

15:49Just relax,

15:50Attorney Ira.

15:52Let's not

15:53get ahead of the court.

15:55There's a right time.

15:57Don't let the truth

15:58come out too soon.

16:00The only truth I know

16:02is you killed

16:03my mother, Lillet.

16:05It's up to you

16:06what you want to believe.

16:07As long as I know

16:08I'm not guilty.

16:10If you're really sure

16:11that you didn't kill

16:12Mommy,

16:14then who did it?

16:16Who did it?

16:17Then who did it?

16:24Not in front

16:25of the reporters,

16:26Ira.

16:27Okay?

16:28Get a hold of yourself.

16:30She's so plastic.

16:32She's a victim

16:33to the press.

16:35You know,

16:36if you don't stop

16:37nagging at her,

16:38you'll look bad.

16:39She will look like

16:40the victim.

16:41What do you want?

16:42Hmm?

16:48Let's go.

17:00Ma'am,

17:01excuse me.

17:03Lillet,

17:05I'm just going to

17:06the city jail

17:07to discuss

17:08our case statutory

17:09in the next hearing.

17:11Thank you, Kurt.

17:13You did a good job earlier.

17:14You did a good job earlier.

17:16We'll do better next time.

17:25Take care of yourself, son.

17:28Lillet,

17:30I always tell you

17:32to be strong.

17:35And don't forget

17:36our motto.

17:38As long as there's a chance,

17:39there's no going back.

18:10Are you

18:11Attorney Kurt Ignacio?

18:15It's me.

18:17Did you call

18:18our office in Quito?

18:23Sit down.

18:28Is it true that

18:29you have information

18:30about the murder

18:31of Attorney Simmons?

18:33Yes, sir.

18:34I saw something that night.

18:37Why did you come forward?

18:39Why didn't you talk

18:40to the police?

18:42I was scared at first.

18:44Attorney Simmons

18:45is an important person.

18:47That's why I thought

18:48that maybe

18:49the person who killed him

18:50is also a big person.

18:52I was scared

18:53of my own safety.

18:55Attorney,

18:56can you ensure

18:58my protection

18:59in case I need

19:00to help you?

19:05Yes,

19:08sir.

19:14The bail hearing

19:15for the murder case

19:16of Attorney Lilith Matias

19:17is still ongoing.

19:18Many of our countrymen

19:19are watching

19:20since the beginning

19:21of this controversial case.

19:23And Attorney Matias

19:24is claiming

19:25that he didn't kill his mother.

19:26And until now,

19:27the real criminal

19:28is still in custody.

19:42You know, to be honest,

19:43Attorney Ronna,

19:44the testimony of Paco

19:45is still not solid.

19:46Adding one or two

19:47more witnesses

19:48just to prove

19:49that there indeed is

19:50a troubled relationship

19:51between Attorney Matias

19:52and Attorney Simmons

19:53that can only serve

19:54to help us build

19:55a stronger case.

19:56Alright then,

19:57Attorney Ira,

19:58we'll have to take

19:59the witness stand.

20:00I have no doubt

20:01that you're good.

20:02That's why I believe

20:03that you don't fully believe

20:04your witness' testimony.

20:06Because I know

20:07that you know

20:08that I couldn't have

20:09possibly killed

20:10my own mother.

20:11I can't go back

20:12to jail again.

20:13That's why we need

20:14to do this.

20:15We need to hide.

20:18This is for our own safety.
