Alex...
Alex.
- [SORROWFUL MUSIC PLAYING] - [SOBBING]
Alex, our baby is gone.
We lost our baby.
[SNIFFLES]
I'm sorry, Juliana.
- [SORROWFUL MUSIC CONTINUES] - [SOBBING]
I'm sorry.
[SNIFFLES]
Will Mommy be okay?
Your mom is strong, dear.
She's brave.
She's a fighter.
Everything will be okay.
Will you reconcile with her now?
Daddy, can you all just make peace?
[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]
Did anyone tell you about me and your mom?
All I know is that...
something changed between you two.
Whenever I'm with her...
...you're not there.
And whenever I'm with you...
...she's not there.
I don't know why you're fighting,
but can you just apologize to Mommy?
Or if Mommy apologizes to you,
can you just forgive her?
[SNIFFLES]
How I wish it were that simple, dear.
You won't be fighting forever, will you?
I hope you reconcile soon.
I don't like seeing Mommy sad.
Please, Daddy...
[SOBBING]
I'm begging you.
My dear.

Grandma gave Victor a copy of the video.
[MOROSE MUSIC PLAYING]
The video she took using her phone.
It's enough to prove that we're guilty of adultery.
I tried to stop Grandma, but...
...I didn't get there in time.
Sylvia suddenly showed up just when I was about to leave.
And she attacked me.
[SNIFFLES]
Alex...
[SNIFFLES]
Alex, I don't want to go to jail.
And above all...
I don't want Abby to end up with Victor.

I once considered that baby mine.
I'll never be happy over a baby's death.
Even if that baby was the result of your affair with Alex.
I know Grandma already gave you a copy of the video.
What will you do now?
Will you use it against us in court?
Victor...
I already lost my baby, Victor.
Isn't that enough punishment?
[MOROSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
[SOBBING] Enough! Please stop!
Just leave me alone!
Let's go our separate ways!
I've had enough!
I'm begging you, Victor. Please let me go.
I just want to move on. So, please let me go.
I can't live like this anymore.

Victor.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
I know it's hard for you to keep seeing me.
But if I have to beg...
...I'll do it for the sake of my son.
I already told you everything I wanted to say.
I know you can't forgive me.
But dear, I would like to ask you a favor.
Please forgive Alex.
You know, he's having a really hard time.
They're going through a lot right now.
How can I forgive them if until the end,
they still think they did nothing wrong to me?
I never wanted any of this to happen,
but they hurt me first.
I know that we've all been through so much.
Telling lies and taking revenge against each other.
But Victor...
This will never end if we don't forgive each other.
Victor.
Victor, I'm begging you.
My dear... [SOBBING]
Just take it all out on me.
I'll suffer in their behalf.
Can you really bear to see...
...the mother of your child put behind bars?
You know how it feels to lose one's mother, right?
Dear, let's choose to forgive.
Let's free each other from anger and pain.
Victor, my dear, I'm begging you.
I'm begging you, dear.
Let's forgive each other.

I want to talk to you.

You should eat so you can regain your strength.
Matteo said the results of your disbarment case
has been released.
Let's not talk about it. What matters is your health.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
What are you doing here?
I'm here to have a proper talk with you.
I'm willing to withdraw the charges against you.
But Abby stays with me.
And don't try to repeat what you did before
so we won't have any more problems.
[SCOFFS]
Do you think I would agree to that?
I just want our daughter to live in peace.
And I will not cut her off from you, Liana.
I just want to raise her.
No!
She is mine! I'll never agree to that, Victor!
If I present my evidence in court,
what do you think will happen?
You will go to jail. So, who will have Abby, then?
[ALEX] Fine.
I'll prepare all the requirements
and arrange the petition for you to gain custody of Abby.
[JULIANA] Alex, what are you saying?
Abby is mine. She is rightfully mine.
That's enough. This will finally end all of this.
[SCOFFS]
You win. Now, get out.
[JULIANA SOBBING]
Don't you dare do that. She is mine.
Abby is mine. She should be with us.
Just trust me. I'll handle it.
Victor.
[VICTOR SIGHS]
I'm ready to testify against Alex and Juliana.
[SIGHS]
I've withdrawn the case.
What?
Why did you do that?
Remember what you said?
They don't deserve to live happily
after everything they did.
They deserve nothing, Victor!
Victor, don't be a fool!
They can't get away with what they did!
They must pay! They must go to prison!
- Sylvia, will you stop? - [GASPS]
Do whatever you want, but I will not help you.
I'll gain custody of my daughter,
and that's the only thing I want.
[SOBBING]
I let myself in since...
[UNSETTLING MUSIC PLAYING]
- [THUNDER RUMBLING] - You're leaving?
I'm through being a fool for Alex!
I'll be the one
who will press charges against him and Juliana!
I'm not a coward like Victor.
What do you mean?
He has withdrawn the case against Alex and Juliana.
I am still Alex's wife.
I'll make sure they end up in prison.
That won't solve anything.
Their child just died.
Don't you feel sorry for them?
Why?
Did your son feel sorry for me after lying to me repeatedly?
I made this home for him!
I've fired all the maids,
and I'm bringing all of my things.
Once I leave, there will be nothing left here for Alex!
Sylvia, please have mercy on my son.
Why would I show mercy to the people who ruined my life?!
He manipulated me!
Sylvia, please, let's talk--
You can leave now.
- Sylvia-- - I said leave!
Sylvia, let's talk about this.
You shouldn't leave.
You-- You shouldn't leave.
You shouldn't press charges. You shouldn't--
Who are you to tell me what I should do?!
[THUNDER RUMBLING]
I've been doing everything for you and Alex to make amends
and to save your marriage.
What else should I do? I've always treated you well.
If we're being honest, all of this is your fault.
You raised a liar and a cheater!
What kind of mother are you?!
Have you ever thought that maybe
it's because of your shortcomings?
[THUNDER RUMBLING]
Maybe Alex is looking at another woman
because she can provide something you can't.
Shut up!
Maybe the problem does lie with you.
So, don't pass your burdens onto me, Sylvia.
Just don't.
I'm just a mother who will do anything for her child.
Leave.
Leave! Leave!
Get out!
[SOBBING]
What if we just share custody of her?
So it would be equal.
This is not the right time for you to haggle with Victor.
Let's plan things out once he gets custody of Abby.
[PHONE RINGING]
- [TENSE MUSIC PLAYING] - Hello?
Alex.
Sylvia is furious.
She's threatening that since Victor wouldn't do it,
she's going to send you two to prison herself.
What?

You're going to appease her after what happened?

I get your point, Juliana.
Trust me, even I'm mad at what happened.
But our life together depends on this.

But we have to talk, alright?
To find closure.
I know I owe you a lot, Sylvia.
Oh, no, Alex.
We're not doing that.
"Closure"?
Really?
Are you here to ask for forgiveness...
...because you know I still love you?
Do you really think I'll take this sitting down?
Or just leave without a word?
And let you two live your lives?
Be the doormat that I've always been?
Those days are over, Alex.
Let's be adults about this, Sylvia.
Let's not get carried away by our anger.
It happens, okay? People fall out of love.
But it's not anyone's fault.
It is!
Someone's responsible for our marriage falling apart
and it's you!
We didn't just "fall out of love", Alex.
You betrayed me!
Over and over!
Alright!
Fine!
You're right, it's all my fault!
But I lost my son, too!
Isn't that punishment enough?!
Hell, no!
You deserve a lot worse!
[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]
I've given you too many chances, Alex!
I gave up all self-respect and dignity I had left!
But I stood by you!
[SOBBING] I held on because I can't lose you!
It would've been the death of me, Alex! Believe me!
But what did you do?!
And even if we do part ways, Alex,

I drove around to gather the courage to face her.
And tell her that I'm choosing you.
Even if she follows through on her threat
of sending us to jail, I'll never change my mind.
[ALEX SIGHS DEEPLY]
If I got there earlier, I could've protected Sylvia.
Alex, no.
Don't blame yourself. You didn't do anything wrong.
But I still don't understand.
Why would Victor do this to Sylvia? What's his motive?
I don't know either.
The police are investigating him right now.
I don't know what went on between them.
All I know is they talked to each other frequently.
You know how angry Victor is at Sylvia.
I'm just glad that he didn't have Abby,
that I refused to give her to him,
because she would've been dragged into this, too.
I'm sorry that he almost gained custody of Abby
because of me.
But we can't get dragged into it, too.
- [OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING] - What-- What do you mean?
We need to be careful about our statements to the police.
They cannot find out that I went to our house.
We can't let them think that I had a motive
for killing Sylvia.
Wait...
Why...
You had nothing to do with what happened, right?
But they'll look into me because of our affair.
I'm concerned about both of us, not just myself.
Alex, what do you mean?
Don't forget that something happened
between you and Sylvia before we lost our child.
I'm a lawyer.
We have motives, Juliana.
I know what tactics Victor will use to get acquitted.
He'll try to put the blame on someone else
so they'll doubt his guilt, and we can't let him.
Juliana, Abby is at stake here.

I'm not planning on staying long.
- You're breaking out? - [SHUSHES]
I will file an appeal because I'm innocent.
[MELANCHOLIC MUSIC PLAYING]
You shouldn't wait for me, Olivia.
You can move on with your life.
I can wait no matter how long it takes.
You promised me that you'd do everything
to deserve my forgiveness.
You're asking me to lie in court.
Isn't it enough to prove that you weren't there that night?
I have to make sure Victor gets convicted.
Just say that before you left,
you saw Victor furiously entering the house.
But that never happened, Alex.
So, you're siding with Victor?
What you're asking for is too much.
No!
I will never be content until Victor is behind bars.
You've just proven that I can't count on you to help me.
How dare you say that?
Right from the start, you're all I've ever cared about.
I've thought about your reputation and well-being.
- I've always protected you. - No, Ma.
You're one of the reasons my life turned out like this.
You had ruined me since the day I was born,
since you hooked up with a married man.
Don't think you're blameless.
Don't act like you've been a good mother all along.
That is the last time you'll hurt me.
If you hurt me and cause me to suffer again,
I'll never forgive you!
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

[MOROSE MUSIC PLAYING]
- [TENSE MUSIC PLAYING] - [CLERK] All rise.
The court is now in session.
Honorable Jose Mariz Olivio is now in session.
[STRIKES]
Call the cases.
[CLERK] Criminal case number 143264,
People v. Victor Lualhati for murder.
[ALEX] Yes, I had an affair.
But Sylvia and I made amends.
Every relationship faces challenges.
Victor was upset that I was able to reconcile with her
and she refused to help Victor in his case against us.
Victor knew it was hopeless, so he withdrew the case.
That's why he's angry at Sylvia.
It's not true that my wife was cooperating with him.
I had an amicable relationship with Sylvia.
And based on the autopsy report, Your Honor,
traces of Mr. Alexander Lualhati's DNA were found
in the reproductive organ of his wife,
indicating that their marriage was going strong,
and they had a good relationship
before Mrs. Lualhati's death.
I saw Victor throwing a fit
because Sylvia didn't agree to testify against Alex.
After the hearing, Victor was furious.
How furious was he? As if he could hurt someone?
[VOICE BREAKING] It wasn't like that.
I think he was just struggling to contain his anger.
[SOBS] But Victor will never hurt anyone.
That night, I was walking my boss' dog.
It was raining hard.
But while I was talking to my friend on the phone,
the dog got away from me
and went to our neighbor's house,
Attorney Alex's house.
When I got there, I saw a body covered in blood.
I looked up at the balcony
and I saw the suspect there.
His hands were covered in blood.
Can you identify in this courtroom
the man you saw at the balcony?
It was him.
[TENSE MUSIC RISES]
Because it was raining so hard,
it's possible that Victor's DNA
was washed off Sylvia's body.
But, inside the house, a different story unfolds.
Victor left shoeprints filled with Sylvia's blood.
Victor's arms and hands also had Sylvia's blood.
Maybe you're wondering why Victor has no wounds
if it was a struggle.
There's only one possibility I can think of.
He is a professional boxer.
That's why Sylvia couldn't even scratch Victor.
Sometimes, he scares me.
So, you think he's capable of violence?
Yes, sir.

and we're glad you tried professional boxing.
It really must be in your blood...
...since your father and your brother were both boxers, too.
[EMILIO] Actually, Alex's abilities go beyond the ring.
He was a former lawyer, so he fights smart.
He's an excellent strategist.
And in no time, he will dominate the world of boxing.
He will be the next greatest fighter of all time.

That was supposed to be a surprise, Victor.
- Now, it's all ruined! - [OLIVIA LAUGHS]
I'm just really glad we were able to post bail.
- Let's go? - [JIMBOY] Yeah, come on.
- [BADONG] Let's go. - [OLIVIA] Come.

[MUSIC FADES]
- [DANCE MUSIC PLAYING] - [JULIANA] Hi. You okay?
Ah, yes. All good here, Liana.
Everything's perfect even on such short notice.
[CHUCKLES] Thanks. I've just gotten used to this.
Sometimes, I'd even have two to three events in a day.
But, at least, you're all having fun.
- Yeah. - Oh, by the way,
your wife's event?
- Mm? - Since she's not here,
she said I could coordinate with you instead.
Are you free for a meeting any time this week?
Actually, she mentioned it. Uh...
I'll just check my schedule.
Can I send my assistant if I'm not available?
- Sure, no problem. - [EMILIO] Okay.
I see someone's working hard, huh?
Let's just enjoy the party first, okay?
Tsk. Alright.
Anyway, I'll get going.
- Okay. - You guys have fun, okay?
[JULIANA] Excuse me.
[EXHALES]
You really are lucky with Liana.
You know, you're perfect for each other.
I fought long and hard for Juliana...
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
...and it was me against the world.
[OMINOUS MUSIC CONTINUES]
Ever since, I made it clear... that she would be mine.
No one can take her away. And if anyone...
...tries to do so, I will end them myself.
[SINISTER MUSIC PLAYING]
[AMELIA] Son? Alex?
Pilar and Kate are here.
Grandma. How are you?
I got something for you. It's upstairs.
Oh. That's not why we're here.
Where's Juliana?
Uh, excuse me.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
- [OLIVIA] Surprise! - Surprise!
[CHEERING]
- [JIMBOY] See? I told you. - [CHEERING CONTINUES]
I told you he'd still be surprised. Right?
- Now, let's eat! - [GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]
The gym's looking really good, coach.
You said it. Coach Bads is in the big leagues now.
We're actually thinking of having another branch.
But still...
Coach wants to keep this one. Sentimental value, you know.
Why, of course. Everything started here.
I grew up and lived here.
And this is where all my dreams started.
Why would I let it go?
However, this gym wouldn't have improved this much
if it weren't for your help, everyone,
especially Olivia.
Ever since she started a physical therapy center here,
our clientele has expanded
from boxers and regular gymgoers
- to rehab patients. - [GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]
Tsk. But it was all Victor's idea, Grandpa, remember?
I just made it happen for him. [CHUCKLES]
Oh, by the way...
[GENTLE MUSIC CONTINUES]
- This is for you. - [KEYS JANGLE]
- [JANGLING CONTINUES] - What's this for, coach?
They're keys to your place.
We figured you'd need a place of your own
so you could be comfortable.
Thanks, coach.
And thank you, everyone.
I told you we'd be here for you.
[MUSIC FADES]
Why did Alex even have to throw a party this big?
He knows how hard it is to pull this off on short notice,
especially since this isn't your only job.
[EXHALES] It's fine, Grandma.
This is his victory party, after all.
And we all know he can get a bit extravagant sometimes.
At least he's happy, right?
- [GLASSES AND UTENSILS CLINK] - [PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]
And you, are you happy?
[PENSIVE MUSIC CONTINUES]
[UTENSILS AND PLATES CLINK]
Uh, Alex and I have been together for a few years.
But did you ever hear me complain about him, Grandma?
Alex is...
...doing everything for Abby and me,
and for our family to live comfortably.
I hope so.
[PILAR] Because it came at a cost.
[PILAR] You ruined so many lives.
[PILAR] For instance, Victor was in jail for years.
[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]
It's not our fault Victor was arrested, Grandma.
Besides...
We should all put that in the past now.
- [DANCE MUSIC PLAYING] - [EMILIO] Sorry.
[DANCE MUSIC CONTINUES]
Boss Emilio, Mr. Padro called.
[NORMAN] It's about the new gym.
He said it's urgent.
What's up, Norman? Any matches recently?
[CHUCKLES] He always loses. [LAUGHS]
Ricky, all my boxers are important to me.
- [PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING] - Tsk. Actually...
[PENSIVE MUSIC CONTINUES]
You had a match with Victor before, right?
Mm. Two rounds and he was out.
[LAUGHS] He hasn't won a match again since.
[INHALES] He just begged Papa to let him stay.
Kidding aside, Norman here's been a good boy.
- [ALEX] Mm. - Tsk.
He's loyal and really dependable.
[RICKY] Uh...
Excuse me. I have to call somebody. Excuse me.
[PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]
Uh, Alex? A moment, please?
What is it?
I just confirmed the news. Victor's out of prison.
His petition for bail was granted.
[DARK MUSIC PLAYING]
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
[THUDS]
[EXHALES]
Victor.
[BADONG] You're here.
How'd you find the house? You need anything else?
No, it's all good.
There's, uh, something I wanted to do.
I want to go back to boxing.
[INHALES] I know you'll always love boxing.
So, don't worry. I will help you.
[PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]
It's time to take our dreams back.
[EXHALES] We just have to inform the alliance...
...because they will decide if they'll let you back in
even with your case.
Case or no case, coach...
...I will fight.

[CHEERING]
This was my idea.
Just relax and enjoy the show, Alex.
- [SHOUTING] - Police! Hands in the air!
We have to find out who did this
and know if it's one of us, or our competition.
I saw Alex earlier today at a restaurant.
He was talking to a new promoter.
[GRUNTS]I wasn't doing anything!
I don't believe you!
- [AIR WHOOSHES, BLOWS LAND] - [BOTH GRUNT]
Why would Emilio accuse you of that?
I have no idea.
"Alex Lualhati beats up promoter"
Everything's going as planned.
This will be Alex's downfall.
