Transcript

00:00You're the winner, the story is not yet over

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

00:13The only problem now is that your boss has been caught.

00:16Isn't that why you're more anxious?

00:18I still have something to hold on to, Alas.

00:21Aside from the little secret I know,

00:23I also have evidence on the murder of Atty. Meredith Simons.

00:27You need to answer for everything you've done.

00:30You and Patricia, you will pay.

00:34I promise you, I will get out of here.

00:37And you better get ready.

00:38Relax, this is a game. Chess, not Caracruz.

00:42And I assure you, I don't lose in games.

00:45I'm right, right? Vivian knows everything.

00:49And when she talks, it's game over for you.

00:54You can't sentence me.

00:57Really? How can you be sure?

01:00Because you can't find solid evidence against me.

01:06What if I use the money I have to get out of your pockets?

01:13What do you mean?

01:15Let's say everyone has a price, Patricia.

01:19I'd be more than willing to pay just to watch you crumble.

01:26Sis, you have so many revelations about Patricia.

01:31Do you remember when I freed you?

01:33You were very important to the replacement of Patricia.

01:37So, if your boss gave you his clothes,

01:41the clothes he wore when he killed Atty. Simons,

01:45do you remember who wore those clothes?

02:16Come back, the story is not yet over.

02:22It's not always that the loser loves you.

02:40The motion to quash the defense has been finalized.

02:43I hope the court will just admit the information.

02:47I saw it.

02:49Alleged facts do not constitute an offense on their grounds.

02:53They're claiming that the facts in our charge

02:57do not say that there's a crime that happened.

03:00But the court will not dismiss the case just like that.

03:04Once we get the information,

03:06the motion to quash will not be granted.

03:09You're right.

03:11I just remembered what's written in Patricia's counter affidavit.

03:16They're claiming there's no direct evidence linking Patricia to the crime.

03:21And they're heavily relying on the alibis supported by the CCTV footage

03:25showing Patricia at another location the night Atty. Simons died.

03:31That's a critical footage in their case.

03:34If Renan and Paco are telling the truth that Vivian was in the CCTV,

03:39then we need to produce Vivian to discredit their defense.

03:43But by the way, I've coordinated with the authorities.

03:48We went to all the locations.

03:50Paco, identify as a possible hideout for Vivian.

03:55But until now, we haven't found her.

03:57Where could Vivian be hiding?

04:00It's obvious.

04:02It's obvious.

04:03Patricia moved all of her belongings outside

04:06to ensure Vivian stays out of reach.

04:20What did Melena Vivian move?

04:24I stand firm that my son, Pino de Leon,

04:28is not guilty of the murder of Atty. Meredith Simons.

04:33And I will prove it to all of you.

04:36Because of that, I'm offering 2 million pesos

04:41to whoever can provide credible information

04:47on the murder of Patricia Inan and Vivian Cuevas.

04:54Will Kalorena give a reward to whoever can teach Vivian a lesson?

05:04She can help us find her.

05:07Kalorena won't stop until the truth comes out.

05:11We can't find her, Kirk.

05:15If Ira and I lost our mother,

05:17she lost her son.

05:20I remember when we talked to Eno.

05:24He really wanted to clear his name.

05:27If I'm wrong, I won't believe it.

05:34Because of that, I'm offering 2 million pesos.

05:39The police won't stop until I'm found.

05:43You don't have to be afraid.

05:45Anyone will be interested.

05:47I need to leave Manila, Maricar.

05:50I'll take care of it.

05:52I know a place where you can hide.

05:54The police won't find you there.

05:56Really?

05:57Yes.

05:58I just need to call my friend.

06:01I'm not here right now.

06:03But he will bring you there.

06:05Okay.

06:06I just need to leave as soon as possible.

06:10Thank you, Maricar.

06:12I can really count on you.

06:18Really?

06:20Don't you know?

06:21My video that I'm offering 2 million pesos

06:26to anyone who can teach Vivian Cuevas is already viral.

06:32What did you do? Are you crazy?

06:34Nothing.

06:36I just introduced you and your minion Vivian

06:40to the Philippines and the whole world.

06:43Because I want you to experience the recognition that you need to receive.

06:50You know I won't succeed in your plans.

06:54Let's see how fast the vultures swoop in for the sweet, sweet cash.

07:02And by the way, congratulations because the video is already viral.

07:07You're trending and you're the star for all wrong reasons.

07:17It's so thrilling, right?

07:21Mark my words.

07:23You won't succeed in what you're doing, Lorena.

07:28Don't be like that.

07:31Look around.

07:33You have a family.

07:35Right?

07:36Who needs high society when you have them?

07:40Because you're already here.

07:41You'll rot here for the rest of your life.

07:46Warden.

07:50Take her inside.

07:51She might be missing her pets.

08:06The court denies the motion to quash the case of Patricia Engano.

08:11The grounds presented are primarily related to the insufficiency of evidence and lack of probable cause.

08:21These are matters that are more appropriately addressed during the trial proceedings.

08:27And as mentioned earlier, prosecution still has to make the necessary amendments.

08:33We will reschedule the arraignment next week.

08:49Session adjourned.

08:53I already told you, Cons.

08:55We should have attended the hearing today.

08:58The hearing is procedural.

08:59A motion to quash does not determine guilt or innocence.

09:04The legal sufficiency of the charges is just a challenge.

09:08Whatever.

09:10When the motion is granted, the prosecution can always be ordered by the court for new information to be filed.

09:17What if the court sides with Patricia?

09:20The case could possibly be dismissed.

09:23Dismissal at this point is an automatic even if the motion is granted.

09:27Like I said, the court can file new information.

09:42Hello?

09:44Mr. Leon.

09:45Mr. Leon.

09:54Maricar, where is the person you know who will agree with me?

09:58No one is approaching me yet.

10:01Just wait. He will be here soon.

10:15Attorney, is it right if I tell the judge that their case against us is weak?

10:23I love it.

10:25Mrs. Engano, don't get too comfortable.

10:29You may think you're winning, but the game is far from over.

10:33It's just the beginning of the game.

10:35We still have a year to count.

10:39I don't think so.

10:40I can already imagine that no matter what they do, the case will be dismissed and I'll be free.

10:48You're so mean.

10:51How can you stand there?

10:53How can you be so arrogant?

10:55Huh?

10:57You're the ones who are arrogant.

11:00You can already imagine that you'll lose to me.

11:03You can already imagine that you'll lose to me.

11:06Even if you have a lot of motions to quash, the truth is, it's not easy to hide.

11:14You don't want to hear anything?

11:17Just admit it.

11:19Because no motion can escape your conscience.

11:25I won't admit anything to you, even if you join forces against me.

11:31I'll still keep on quashing your dream of defeating me.

11:38Quash, quash, quash.

11:42No matter what you throw at me, I'll still keep on quashing.

11:48Quash, quash, quash.

11:51Quash.

11:54It feels so good to keep on eating summer squash soup, especially when I go out here.

12:02Wake up. Let's go.

12:07So, I see.

12:10You're both lawyers.

12:12So you know that all people have the right to defend themselves,

12:18no matter how unlikable they are.

12:22So why don't we just let your court decide?

12:27And in the meantime, let's not waste our energy on fighting battles that have not yet even begun.

12:37Tell that to your client, attorney.

12:42I will have the last class here.

12:45And the two of you will merely be just spectators in my trial.

12:50Let's go.

12:53Let's go.

13:12Where are your people, Maricar?

13:15Vivian Cuevas.

13:17Stop trying to escape.

13:20We won't allow you to escape.

13:25Vivian Cuevas.

13:27We have been arrested for obstruction of justice and conspiring with Patricia Higano in the murder of attorney Meredith Simmons.

13:36Delarosa, let's go.

13:41Stop it.

13:42Let's go.

13:45Let's go.

13:46Let's go.

14:11You know you can't escape this, Vivian.

14:14So just face it.

14:17Now that she's been arrested, we need to make her confess.

14:26Because that's the only way that Patricia could rot in jail.

14:30Let's wait and see what she has to say.

14:33Maybe she won't let us go.

14:47Mrs. Galeon.

14:49Who is this?

14:51You don't know me.

14:53But I watched your call about Vivian Cuevas.

14:58Vivian Cuevas?

15:01If we agree,

15:04in exchange for the money you will give me,

15:07I will also give you the exact location

15:10where you will be arrested.

15:11I will not back down.

15:14We are about to get justice for Meredith and Eno.

15:19I will make sure that the murderer will pay.

15:42No.

15:44The attorney can't do this.

15:46What if they catch Vivian?

15:49Let me be frank with you as always.

15:52Now that Vivian is under the control of the authorities,

15:56your case will be more difficult.

15:58We need to prepare for the trial.

16:01And with that being said,

16:03are you really going to arrest Vivian?

16:06Yes.

16:07We need to prepare for the trial.

16:09And with that being said,

16:11did you really tell me everything that I need to know?

16:16Everything?

16:18By everything, I mean everything.

16:20There's nothing missing, nothing missing.

16:23I don't want you to hide information

16:25that will surprise me when I go to court.

16:34Right now,

16:35I'm sure that Vivian is holding you back.

16:38And the chances of them building a solid argument against you

16:43are very high.

16:46Vivian can't do that to me, attorney.

16:50She can't make me fall.

16:52She's loyal to me.

16:55Fine.

16:57Let's try

16:59if your loyalty is true.

17:01Remember,

17:03Vivian is the only one who won't fall for you.

17:10I don't know anything about what you're saying.

17:13Ms. Cuevas,

17:15when Ms. Ingano's case was brought to court,

17:19there were complaints that we made against you

17:22based on the testimony of Melart.

17:24That's why it's up to you

17:26if you want to make things easier for yourself

17:28and make things easier for yourself

17:30and expose the real person who ordered you.

17:33Or,

17:35defend that you're innocent

17:39and cover up the real person who ordered you

17:42and you'll be sentenced at the same time.

17:44Just like what we did for Melart,

17:47you can talk to a lawyer

17:49to assist you

17:51before you speak.

17:53To make sure that you weren't threatened or hurt.

17:56To get an answer from you.

17:58And the easy question is,

18:01is it true that Attorney Alon and Paco Flaridel

18:06are the ones who ordered Patricia Ingano

18:08to kill Attorney Meredith Simons?

18:12Vivian,

18:14as a PAW lawyer who's been here for weeks,

18:17I know how scared you are

18:19because I've seen it with my other clients.

18:21But you don't have to worry

18:23because you're protected by the law

18:25even if you're accused.

18:26Please have mercy on me.

18:28Don't kill me. I have a child.

18:32Please have mercy on me, ma'am.

18:35You don't have to answer any of their questions.

18:38You have the right to remain silent as an accused.

18:40And besides, you're the only one who knows

18:43if the truth

18:45can bring you down from your case,

18:47dismiss you,

18:49or completely protect you.

18:51I'm just here to make sure that you won't lose your right.

18:53Do you think you deserve to be free just like that?

18:57You know what?

18:59Why do we even bother asking these questions

19:03when we know that the answer is just right in front of us?

19:10You and Patricia

19:13conspired together to kill my mother.

19:17And I guess it's about time

19:19that you will pay for everything that you've done

19:21right under our noses.

19:24Hey, we're lawyers.

19:27We know that we can't force Vivian to give a statement.

19:32As long as it's not written, signed, or promised,

19:37we can't use it in court.

19:40But we'll be waiting for your answer, Vivian.

19:44Think about it carefully.

19:46Especially for your child.

19:54Ma'am, please have mercy on me.

19:56Please don't imprison me.

19:58My child is sick.

20:00She needs me.

20:02Please have mercy on me.

20:04When you really love your child,

20:07tell her the truth.

20:09Tell her the truth.

20:11What really happened?

20:13We can protect your child.

20:15And you, we can put you in the witness protection program

20:18in exchange for your testimony in this case.

20:20That's why you should tell us.

20:23Did Patricia Ingano really kill our mother?

20:27Answer us!

20:29Ms. Vivian Cuevas,

20:32did Mrs. Patricia Ingano really kill

20:36Attorney Meredith Simmons?

20:38This is your final warning.

20:40Answer us!

20:42Attorney Simmons, don't threaten my client.

20:45Because you might say anything

20:47and you won't be able to protect your child.

20:57I don't want to rot here, attorney.

21:00You may not be able to sing,

21:03but the one who will sacrifice herself for you,

21:08that, I highly doubt.

21:13Mrs. Ingano,

21:14Mrs. Ingano,

21:16I am with you here.

21:19All the information that you will give me

21:23can be very helpful for me to create a story.

21:28I can create a truth that we can

21:32make the court believe.

21:34And I can assure you,

21:36we will be allies of the world.

21:39We will be allies of the law.

21:42What do you say?

21:45Promise me first,

21:48that you will protect my child.

21:51Tell me the truth first.

21:55Is what Renan and Paco are saying true?

22:00Yes.

22:03Patricia Ingano

22:06is the one who killed Attorney Meredith.

22:14She's the one.

22:24This is it.

22:26Because of Vivian's statement,

22:29your auntie Patricia will be fine.

22:36Because of Renan?

22:37Yes.

22:42Renan knew all this time.

22:46Wow.

22:49I know, but

22:52it's confirmed, right?

22:58That Renan knew about my mother.

23:01About our mother.

23:04And that he's part of this

23:07cruel conspiracy.

23:14How could I be fooled?

23:19All the red flags,

23:21all the doubts that you're telling me,

23:24I chose to ignore it.

23:32And now,

23:35Vivian's testimony,

23:37crushes everything down.

23:46How could he look me in the eye?

23:50How could he,

23:53how could he kiss me?

23:56Make a baby with me?

24:00When he knew all along who killed our mother.

24:08Right?

24:10Yes.

24:13I know,

24:16this is easier said than done.

24:21But you need to be strong.

24:25Not only physically,

24:29but also emotionally.

24:30Digging into details

24:34of what the culprit,

24:36your dear mom,

24:39will definitely affect your emotions.

25:00I'm sorry.

25:16Mom!

25:17I don't want this!

25:18Help!

25:19Let me go!

25:21Ana,

25:23I'm out of here.

25:25I'm innocent.

25:26I can't do what they did to me.

25:29I hope you can prove that you're innocent,

25:31so that not everyone I've saved will love me.

25:34But she doesn't deserve a mother who's a murderer.

25:37She deserves better than this.

25:40But we still have a last day of the presentation of prosecution.

25:42We need to find the physical evidence of what Paco is saying.

25:47I will not allow

25:49all our efforts to be in vain.

25:52And I will not allow

25:55that we won't be able to give justice to the death of our mom.

25:59I'm sorry.

26:00I'm sorry.

26:01I'm sorry.

26:02I'm sorry.

26:03I'm sorry.

26:04I'm sorry.

26:05I'm sorry.

26:06I'm sorry.

26:07I'm sorry.

26:08I'm sorry.

26:09I'm sorry.

26:10I'm sorry.

26:11I'm sorry.

26:12I'm sorry.

26:13I'm sorry.

26:14I'm sorry.

26:15I'm sorry.

26:16I'm sorry.

26:17I'm sorry.

26:18I'm sorry.

26:19I'm sorry.

26:20I'm sorry.

26:21I'm sorry.

26:22I'm sorry.

26:23I'm sorry.

26:24I'm sorry.

26:25I'm sorry.

26:26I'm sorry.

26:27I'm sorry.
