00:00You are the winner, the story is not yet over

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

00:13Vivian Cuevas, we have arrested you for obstruction of justice

00:16and conspiring with Patricia Engano in the murder of attorney Meredith Simmons.

00:20We are about to get justice for Meredith and Eno.

00:25She won't make me fall.

00:27Okay, now we will try if the loyalty you are saying is true.

00:32Remember, Vivian is the only one who hasn't fallen for you yet.

00:35Promise me first that you will protect my daughter.

00:38Tell me the truth first, is what Renan and Paco are saying true?

00:42Yes, it's confirmed, right?

00:44That Renan knew about my mother.

00:46You need to be strong, not only physically but also emotionally.

00:51I love you.

00:56Ira.

00:58Ira.

01:22Ira, are you okay?

01:26Excuse me, I'll get some water.

01:34Wow, even my body knows that there's something wrong with me.

01:41What's the purpose of this?

01:46What is this?

01:49Is this a souvenir?

01:52Because I'm stupid, because I'm blinded by love,

01:57I don't know how to protect this,

02:02so that it won't be like this to someone like his father.

02:09Why did he do this to me?

02:13Ira, it's not your fault for being here.

02:17You just loved and trusted.

02:23You don't need to be a perfect person to be a good mother.

02:29I can't protect Mati.

02:35And I couldn't even be a good sister to you.

02:39So, how can I be a good mother?

02:44How?

02:46Because my mother is also alone.

02:52But she gave him a good future.

02:56She gave him a lot of love.

02:59That's why I'm sure,

03:02that's what she wants you to think and do for your child.

03:09But what if,

03:11what if I can't do it?

03:12What if I keep on falling over and over again?

03:19What will I do?

03:21I'll help you every time.

03:24You want me to carry you.

03:31Why? Do you think I can't do it?

03:36Ira, I can carry you until you wake up.

03:42And when your baby comes,

03:45I'll have someone to carry you.

03:55When your baby comes out,

03:58I'll take care of him.

04:03Baby, I'll take care of you.

04:07We'll make you grow up with fear of God,

04:13and know how to fight if needed.

04:18I just hope,

04:20you won't witness the hardness of your mother's head.

04:27She's always apologizing,

04:30and repeating the same mistake.

04:33And the crying,

04:35don't witness that.

04:44So you know,

04:46I might fight you again after all this.

04:52I'm used to it.

04:56But whatever you do,

04:58I won't get tired of forgiving you.

05:03Just like,

05:05I won't get tired of it.

05:08Even if I become a naughty kid,

05:12I'll still take care of your baby.

05:19Daddy.

05:22Daddy.

05:25Daddy.

05:26Daddy.

05:28Tita attorney.

05:34I want that.

05:43Sorry again, daddy.

05:45Sorry.

05:47Sorry, I'll make it up to you.

05:50We won't make it up to each other.

05:53We'll fight, Ira.

05:56We'll fight together.

05:59For the future of your baby.

06:03For the responsibility of a mother.

06:06And for all the family,

06:09who loves and fights for the responsibility.

06:26Hello, Melissa?

06:28Attorney Lillet,

06:30the approval from central office is here,

06:32with special permission to prosecute your request.

06:35You can now represent your own family,

06:38versus Patricia.

06:40Okay.

06:41Thank you, attorney Melissa.

06:57Hello, Kurt?

07:00Okay, we'll go out now.

07:06Tina.

07:13The word of man is the foundation of trust and justice.

07:17But, when it is covered with lies,

07:21the word will become a curse.

07:22It destroys trust and humanity.

07:25I hope every word you say is true,

07:28because in the end,

07:30the words will judge us.

07:36No matter how you cover the world with lies,

07:39for your own interest,

07:41the truth will come out of the words,

07:44the truth that will be given to you.

07:46The truth will come out of the words,

07:49the truth that will be given to you.

07:51The truth will come out of the words,

07:53the truth that will be given to you.

08:15All rise,

08:17the honorable judge,

08:18Liberty Villa-Román presiding.

08:44Oh, I know exactly what I'm talking about.

08:46I saw what I saw,

08:48and I heard what I heard.

08:50I gained nothing from lying under oath.

09:05Everything I said was a lie.

09:09Patricia ordered me

09:11to edit the video.

09:17Mrs. Ingano was furious with Atty. Meredith Simmons.

09:22That's why she committed such a crime.

09:26Patricia ordered me

09:28to give her a cocktail of medicine

09:31so that Atty. Meredith will get dizzy.

09:37That's why she went back to her house

09:40to continue her plan

09:42against Atty. Simmons.

09:43I heard from Mrs. Patricia Ingano herself.

09:47I heard her say that she killed

09:50Atty. Meredith Simmons.

09:53And so the evidence falls right into my lap.

10:03She is the one who killed Atty. Meredith Simmons.

10:08She is the one who killed Atty. Meredith Simmons.

10:10She is the one who killed Atty. Meredith Simmons.

10:13She did this while Atty. Meredith was not fighting

10:17because of what she drank.

10:21She fooled all of us before.

10:24Even Evelyn Magas.

10:26She insisted on lying to the court.

10:31Who is that?

10:33Yes.

10:35She framed Evelyn Magas.

10:37But before she could escape

10:38and confess the truth to Evelyn,

10:41she made Eno continue.

10:50No further questions, Your Honor.

10:53All right, Atty. Mathias.

11:05Let's go.

11:08Let's go.

11:24Meredith.

11:26How could you kill her?

11:28You even talked to me.

11:30I wanted to know what you did to her.

11:33How could you hurt her?

11:35That's enough.

11:36Let's go.

11:38Why did you do that to Eno?

11:41Why?

11:43Why?

11:55Ms. Lorena.

11:57Ms. Lorena, that's enough.

12:02I will file a case against her.

12:05She will pay for what she did to my son.

12:08She will rot in prison.

12:11She will pay for what she did to Eno.

12:21You!

12:23Your soul will rot in hell!

12:27Let's go.

12:33Your Honor, there is still justice in this country.

12:37The one who is guilty will pay for it.

12:51Prosecution, are you ready with your next witness?

12:57Yes, Your Honor.

12:59May we call to the witness stand Ms. Vivian Cuevas.

13:20Please raise your right hand.

13:22Left on the Bible.

13:24Do you swear to tell the truth,

13:27the whole truth and nothing but the truth,

13:30so help you God?

13:33Yes.

13:52Yes.

14:08Ms. Vivian Cuevas,

14:12can you tell this court

14:16if

14:18how you

14:25have no mercy to kill?

14:48Just tell us, Ms. Cuevas.

14:52Tell this court

14:55how Patricia Engano killed our mother.

15:00Come on, speak up!

15:01How did Patricia Engano kill our mother?

15:04Counsel,

15:07she is your witness.

15:13It appears that

15:15it appears that

15:17you are having difficulty proceeding.

15:23I understand the sensitivity of this case

15:26but you must maintain decorum in this court.

15:31Would you like your co-counsel to take over?

15:39I'm sorry, Your Honor.

15:42Yes.

15:44I will.

15:46I will defer to my co-counsel.

16:04Attorney Lilith Matias,

16:09you may

16:11continue with the direct examination.

16:14Yes, Your Honor.

16:37In your testimony,

16:40you said

16:41that you ordered the murder of Atty. Meredith Simmons, right?

16:47Yes, Your Honor.

16:50According to the accused's order,

16:53who was with you when you planned the murder?

16:59It was Paco Plaridel, Your Honor.

17:05Are you confirming

17:07that Patricia Engano

17:09was the one who ordered you to kill Atty. Meredith Simmons?

17:14Is that correct?

17:18Yes, Your Honor.

17:20Can you tell us,

17:22according to your judicial affiliate,

17:25how Patricia Engano,

17:31killed Atty. Meredith Simmons?

17:36That day,

17:39the person who was supposed to do it,

17:41was stabbed in the heart.

17:45That's why

17:48Patricia Engano was the one

17:52who killed Atty. Meredith Simmons.

17:57Because she didn't want to miss out on all her plans that day.

18:08Can you confirm again in front of this court

18:12that this is what is stated in your judicial affiliate,

18:16that Patricia Engano,

18:20was the one who stabbed Atty. Meredith Simmons?

18:27She was the one who killed her, right?

18:33Yes, Your Honor.

18:39But,

18:48that's just according to what I swore.

18:53Because I know that my case will be bigger if I lied.

18:59But the truth is,

19:01I was the one who killed Atty. Meredith Simmons.

19:05And it has nothing to do with Madam Patricia Engano.

19:19I was the one who killed her.

19:22I was the one who planned it.

19:36How did that happen?

19:38It's not just in your judicial affiliate.

19:42Because I was scared.

19:46Scared?

19:48How did you get scared?

19:50I was the only one who committed the murder.

19:57I was afraid that if I was already inside,

20:00the police would do something bad to me.

20:02Or that you,

20:04to my daughter,

20:07might do something bad to you.

20:10That's why I blamed everything to Madam Patricia Engano.

20:19You were not scared or threatened.

20:22When we talked to you,

20:24there was no violation of your right as an accused.

20:28Especially the physical pain.

20:31We even gave you a lawyer as proof

20:34that you are free to give your testimony while your human rights are protected.

20:40You're just saying that because you're not in my position.

20:44But I was scared.

20:47That you might do something bad to me.

20:53That's why I blamed Madam Patricia Engano.

20:56That's why I blamed Madam Patricia Engano.

21:00Because I already have a consensus.

21:05This is unbelievable.

21:08You are hiding behind some crazy lie Ms. Cuevas.

21:11Why are you doing this?

21:14Order in the court.

21:15Order in the court.

21:22I already said everything in the affidavit.

21:25And I understand that.

21:27But if you change your mind,

21:32there are people who are ready to help.

21:35Right? There are things that we can't bear.

21:39For the welfare of our family, right?

21:42No.

21:44Don't bring my child here.

21:50Don't worry.

21:52If you do what we're asking you to do,

21:55someone with your child's best interest at heart

22:01will help even if you're in jail.

22:05Patricia is willing to answer for all your child's medicines.

22:08For your child.

22:11So that the life of your precious child can be extended.

22:15What else do you want me to do?

22:18Just a simple change in your story.

22:22For the longer and brighter life of your child.

22:32I will not tolerate disruptions in this courtroom.

22:35If anyone cannot remain silent,

22:38he will be escorted outside immediately.

22:45I expect everyone here to conduct themselves appropriately.

22:51No further outbursts will be tolerated.

22:57Ms. Cuevas,

23:01I'm the one who will ask you.

23:02Don't be afraid to tell the truth.

23:11What is your motive for the crime you committed?

23:16I'm mad at Atty. Simmons

23:20because I approached him to ask for help from my brother.

23:26But he didn't help us because we don't have money.

23:29Because we don't have money.

23:35Justice is like that, right?

23:38It's for the rich.

23:40But we are poor, we don't have justice.

23:44That's why I made justice for my brother.

23:49No, no, that's not true.

23:52My sister is not like that.

23:53That's not true.

23:54She's lying.

23:55That's not true.

23:56She's lying.

23:57That's not true.

23:58Order in the court!

23:59She doesn't deserve it.

24:00She doesn't deserve it.

24:01She's a lawyer.

24:02She didn't help us when we needed her.

24:06Order in the court!

24:08Your Honor,

24:09it is clear that the witness provided contradicting statements

24:13versus the judicial affidavit she executed under oath.

24:17We therefore move that the witness be declared as hostile witness.

24:28Order in the court!

24:43Vivian,

24:44why did you do that?

24:48Vivian,

24:53Attorney Machas,

24:55everything that needs to be said

24:57needs to be said in court.

24:59She said everything in court because she lied.

25:02Attorney Machas,

25:04you are causing your witness so much stress.

25:07I know that this is a personal case for you.

25:11But what are you doing to Vivian?

25:13It's not going to win your case.

25:16If I were you,

25:17you would focus on the fight inside the court.

25:21You're beautiful.

25:23Total, there's one more hearing date for you to be able to air your side.

25:27But,

25:28just make sure you have something to hold on to.

25:31Because your case might end up getting dismissed

25:35for lack of evidence.

25:38You know that.

25:40After all, you are Attorney Lilette Machas.

25:43Right?

25:45And I will do everything to get justice.

25:48Okay,

25:49you said it.

25:51See you.

25:57I'm not drunk, I'm still standing.

26:00No one can change the truth,

26:02that's why I will face this fight without fear.

26:08Lorena, don't.

26:10No.

26:16If I were you, Lorena,

26:18stop with all your accusations in public.

26:21Or I can sue you for life.

26:24Try it.

26:25I'm not afraid of you.

26:27We're going to kill each other.

26:29Whatever you do,

26:31the truth will come out.

26:33We can get evidence against you.

26:36Your smell will also be exposed.

26:41Then try it.

26:43Oh my.

26:45You know,

26:46I can't help but feel sorry for you now

26:48because you're starting to look so pathetic.

26:52And let me just remind you,

26:53you were raised by a rapist and a murderer,

26:57that's why you have no right to judge me.

27:00You have no right to be ashamed.

27:10It's good that you showed up.

27:11You've been in jail for a few days.

27:14I needed some beauty hiatus to prepare for my day-to-day.

27:19You don't have a problem, right?

27:20Prosecution, I understand that you have another witness to present today.

27:24Yes, Your Honor.

27:26The prosecution would like to call in our last witness to the stand.

27:29You may proceed.

27:31Lixie?

27:32I confirmed what I thought you were doing to Mom

27:36when I overheard Atty. Alon's conversation with her one time.

27:39They were having a heated argument over the phone.

27:43And I also heard them arguing on the floor.

27:46You were hurt and hurt.

27:48Atty. Lilet.
