[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
Mostly, our agency provides security services.
I don't have any problem with that.
I'm hardworking, strong-willed, and resourceful.
I don't come in late or skip work
without a valid reason, sir.
Just wait for our call.
Thank you.
Thanks.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
[LINE RINGING]
Yes, why?
The guy you mentioned really came here to apply.
How did you know he would?
Well, Victor has nowhere else to go.
His job options are limited.
Don't worry.
I'll tell my contacts from other agencies
to reject his application, too.
Thanks.
I'll refer you to Alex's clients
who are in need of security services.
Yeah, bro. It looks like a scam. There's no such company here.
Any job will do.
You know I'm not picky when it comes to work.
Okay, thanks.
[LOUD THUD]
[VICTOR] Oh my!
Hey, mister. Are you okay?
- [OLIVIA] Mister! - Wait.
What's going on?
Are you okay? Here you go.
Hold on to this.
You good?
Oh no, you're injured.
My goodness.
V-Victor?
Thanks for your help.
Oh, don't mention it.
Anyway, what brought you here?
I tried to apply for a job at the agency upstairs,
but I was rejected.
Oh, we have a job opening...
- ...for orderlies. - Huh?
Basically, you just have to help transport patients
and assist the nurses.
I hope it's still available.
But I'm not a nurse.
Don't worry. A degree isn't required.
If you want, I'll accompany you to the HR department.
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
Okay, so this is where doctors and nurses do checkups.
They also evaluate if something's lacking
or if there's more that needs to be done.
And this is our rehabilitation area.
I am here most of the time.
Are you excited?
Well, I'm a bit nervous, but I can do it.
Okay, slowly now.
That's it.
Can you do it?
Just be careful.
[SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES]
Alex, Grandma's so mad she might actually disown me.
She has evidence against us.
She would never do that.
She loves you so much.
My grandmother is not like your mother.
Ever since I was young, she never tolerated my mistakes.
[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]
Why is it always like this?
I always sacrifice more than you.
And now, even Grandma is furious with me.
Liana...
This is not about who sacrifices more.
Don't think that way.
We already talked about this, right?
We'll process your annulment first,
and we'll take it from there.
They'll accept us eventually.
I hope...
I hope when we reach that point...
...I'm not yet broken to pieces.
You'll never lose me, Liana.
Everything will be okay.
We're on the right track.
All we need to do is to get Grandma Pilar on our side.
[SOMBER MUSIC CONTINUES]
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
What are you doing here?
Oh, don't worry.
I didn't come here to start a fight.
- Actually, I want to help you. - [TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
Wow, that's new.
Until when do you plan to live in this house?
Why don't you ask Victor?
This was his idea.
I think we're on the same page.
Let's go our separate ways, shall we?
I have a solution.
But first, you have to show me that you've changed
and that you're smart now.
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
[UNSETTLING MUSIC PLAYING]
Sylvia.
I'm glad you're here now.
I talked to your secretary,
but she said you didn't have any meetings scheduled for today.
Why, did something happen?
Yes.
Your wife has been waiting for you, Alex.
Sorry, but what's happening?
I'm sorry. I wanted it to be a surprise.
Your wife is our newest associate.
[UNSETTLING MUSIC CONTINUES]
Game, game, game.
Don't stop.
Can you do it?
Just keep going.
- Oops. - Hey.
Victor.
You good?
If you want, I'll ask Jimboy to train them for now.
I've got this, Coach.
I'm just tired from work.
And I'm still adjusting since it's my first day.
Plus, I had to take Abby to school.
Anyway, I was thinking
if you really want to go back to boxing,
you would need a new license.
[PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]
But as you know, the process won't be fast
and the fights won't be easy.
I don't have any problem with that.
Just make sure you're ready and able to do it.
It's difficult to take on so many responsibilities.
Aside from work, you also have some personal issues.
I can handle it, Coach.
You know I always stand by my decisions.
And I never back down from any fight.
Hey, keep going. Why did you stop?
- We're not done yet. - Okay.
I don't want to waste my degree.
I just wanted a change.
Since...
...the adoption didn't push through.
Aren't you happy that we'll be working together?
- [TENSE MUSIC PLAYING] - Won't it be hard for you?
I mean, it's been years since you last practiced law.
You're here to guide me, right?
Don't worry, Alex.
You won't have any problems with me.
I know how to manage my time, my work, and my personal life.
I won't neglect my obligations to you as your wife.
I'm so excited.
You know, when Victor suggested it...
...I was a bit hesitant.
But he's right.
He's the one who convinced you to go back to work?
My eyes were opened...
...to things I had never seen before.
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
So I decided to expand my horizons.
I have to go.
I have other things to attend to.
Oh, by the way...
...you misplaced this.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYS]
- [TENSE MUSIC INTENSIFIES] - [POUNDS TABLE]
You won't have any problems with this house.
It's spacious, the lighting is good,
and most importantly, it's very quiet here.
This house is a good buy for you.
[HANDBRAKE CLICKS]
[CAR DOOR OPENS]
I think they're here.
Let's go.
[PILAR] Thank you, Victor.
Did you like what you saw upstairs?
They still haven't seen the backyard.
- Oh. - Mommy?
Ah.
Abby, dear.
You were supposed to be home hours ago.
What took you so long?
We went to the gym,
then we picked Grandma up.
Will you be staying with us again, Grandma?
[AMELIA CLEARS THROAT]
Dear, greet your Grandma Amelia.
Abby, go wash up upstairs.
I'll be there in a bit.
Come on, dear. I'll help you.
I'll take those upstairs, Grandma.
Just leave them there.
Thank you, Victor.
What's happening?
Uh, you mentioned you like to cook, right?
- Yes. - Let's look at the kitchen.
- Okay. - Okay.
[AMELIA] It's over there.
[UNSETTLING MUSIC PLAYS]
I'm selling this house.
[UNSETTLING MUSIC INTENSIFIES]
Hey, Sylvia.
I didn't know you went out.
You fetched Alex from work?
No, Ma.
We're colleagues now.
What do you mean you're colleagues now?
I'll be practicing law again.
Oh, that's good news.
You can put your education to good use.
And so you'll get to spend more time with Alex, right?
Yes!
Exactly!
Right, Alex?
I'll just get dressed.
[SINISTER MUSIC PLAYS]
Dear, I have some news for you.
Juliana's selling her house.
They'll be gone soon.
And...
...you have nothing to worry about.
[SINISTER MUSIC INTENSIFIES]
Are you really sure you want to sell this house?
Yeah.
Because I can't pay for the mortgage anymore.
Is that the real reason?
I mean, I have a job.
Compared to what you were earning in the ship,
you think the money you make now is enough, Victor?
Is anything ever enough for you?
When were you ever content?
You're right.
I'm selfish.
That's what you want to hear, right?
Why do you think I work so hard?
You think that's only for me, huh?
I work hard for our daughter!
Because I want to give her a good life!
You're not the only one working hard for her!
The only difference is,
I still make sure I spend time with our daughter!
You know what?
I'm so tired of you saying...
...I'm a bad mom,
and a worse wife!
You know what? Fine!
I'll just quit my job.
That's what you want, right?
You want me to focus on taking care of our daughter!
That's all you want me to do!
You think I don't want to do that?
Of course, I do! My life would be easy!
But you have to provide for us!
Now, you have to prove
that you have no shortcomings as a father and husband!
I prepared new bedsheets for you.
I thought...
...you'd need them.
[POUCH ZIPPER CLOSES]
Grandma,
thank you for coming back.
[INHALES, EXHALES DEEPLY]
[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYS]
You know, earlier...
...I wanted to tell Victor what I saw.
I wanted to give him the video.
But I didn't do it.
It's not because I forgive you.
It's because I believe you can still patch things up.
Juliana.
You promised you'd spend your lives together.
That's the essence of marriage.
I don't want you throwing that away
just for your nonsense.
Think about your daughter.
You already got me involved in your lies.
So from now on,
I'll do everything
to fix your marriage with Victor.
I won't let you two get separated.
[SOMBER MUSIC INTENSIFIES THEN FADES]
- [JIMBOY] All right. - [VICTOR] Go.
One more!
- [JIMBOY] Push! Squeeze it. - [VICTOR] Go!
Take a break, then do shadow boxing.
Do it properly.
- Yes, Coach. - Practice your slips.
Slip right, slip left.
Coach!
I want to show you something.
Hey.
That's underground boxing.
Exactly.
The prize money is big.
Winners get 10,000 pesos.
Isn't that illegal?
Only if they get caught.
With that prize money,
a lot of fighters join.
- [BARBEL CLANKS] - There's a fight tonight.
Don't tell me you're interested in joining.
- [UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC PLAYS] - [CROWD CHEERING]
[MAN] Beat him up!
[CROWD CHEERING]
Go on!
Yeah! There you go!
[MAN] Go!
- [CROWD] Oh! - [REFEREE] Break! Break! Break!
Come on!

- [SHOUTING CONTINUES] - Yeah!
- Beast! Beast! Beast! - Beast! Beast! Beast!
[CROWD CHEERING]
- Beast! Beast! Beast! - Beast! Beast! Beast!
So, are you gonna fight again?
I'll think about it.
Alright.
- Long time no see, Vic. - [PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]
It's been a while. I see you've come back to boxing.
What do you need?
[PENSIVE MUSIC CONTINUES]
You're just wasting your talent here.
You still have it in you.
You still have that fire.
Let me help you.
Why should I trust someone who rigs fights?
It's different now. Things have changed.
This time, I'll be your ally.
And you know what I can do for people who sign with me.
Alright?
[PENSIVE MUSIC CONTINUES THEN FADES]
[CRICKETS CHIRPING]
Where's Abby? Is she asleep?
Yeah.
Kate talked to me earlier, Victor.
Our fights have started to affect Abby.
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
I know.
[SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES]
Victor, please.
I'm begging you.
Never show Abby how mad you are at me.
I've never said anything bad about you in front of Abby.
And it's not like I want her to see us fight.
Wait.
What happened to your face?
What did you get into this time?
I've come back to boxing.
[SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES]
[EXHALES DEEPLY]
Wait.
Here. Clean your wound.
[SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES]
Thank you.
[MUSIC FADES]
I didn't take you in and train you again
just so you could get beaten up in underground boxing!
Nothing bad happened to me.
And I won't let myself lose.
What do you think will happen
if people find out that you're involved in illegal fights?
I didn't do it just for the heck of it, okay?
I needed the money. And I did that
because I wanted to help with your problems here.
- [PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING] - Victor, Grandpa, stop it.
Your tempers won't get you anywhere.
Victor, I know what you can do.
That's why I can't accept what you're doing.
You're wasting everything you've worked hard for!
What are you doing here?
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
I just want to know if you've thought about my offer.
[OMINOUS MUSIC CONTINUES]
Victor, I assure you,
I will bring your career to new heights.
Have you forgotten what he did to you before?
That man ruined your career!
I didn't ruin his career.
I gave him a chance to save his son's life.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
What happened after that was out of my hands.
And now, I'm giving him another chance
to reclaim what is rightfully his.
Victor, I will clear your name.
I will find you formidable opponents
who will bring you back into the spotlight.
I will fix your image...
...so you can regain your reputation
in the boxing world.
You won't have to wait long.
And I'll also get you involved in international fights.
Victor, you deserve better than waiting for so long
and wasting away in the underground.
It's an 80-20 split.
Aside from that...
I will give you a signing bonus of 100,000 pesos.
You'll receive it right away.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS THEN FADES]
- 200,000 pesos. - [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC RESUMES]
And I can leave your management whenever I want.
What's the point of having a contract, then?
I need to be sure that I can trust you first.
Fair enough.
And I get to choose who joins Team Beast.
You won't regret having me.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC SWELLS]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES]
[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]
[BODYGUARD] Let us through! Excuse us!
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES THEN FADES]
Did you sign Victor?
Well, we've talked. I've finalized his contract.
- [TENSE MUSIC PLAYING] - Why did you do that?
Because he has potential.
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
- [DRAWER CLOSES] - Why?
You know what they say about our last fight, right?
That he threw the match so you could win.
Come on, son. That was years ago.
You've become a champion multiple times.
You've proven yourself.
So, why are you threatened by someone like Victor?
I'm not afraid of that has-been.
I'm the current champ.
He has a long way to go before he gets a title shot.
And there are many contenders waiting to knock him down.
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES THEN FADES]
You've been quiet today.
I'm just thinking about Abby.
She's starting to get affected
by what's been happening with her parents.
[MELANCHOLIC MUSIC PLAYING]
I know exactly how she feels.
You know, back when I was a kid,
I would always hear my parents fighting.
I couldn't understand what they were fighting about then.
All I knew was that it made me sad.
You know, I haven't experienced that.
Huh? Really?
That's why I was so shocked when my parents separated.
My grandparents were good at providing distractions.
Distractions?
What kind of distractions?
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
Wow, it's so nice here, Aunt Kate!
[KATE CHUCKLES]
Abby, be careful or you might slip.
[KATE] I told you it's a nice place, right?
Over here, Abby. [CHUCKLES]
Kate, where did you get the money to book this place?
Don't tell me you used some of your savings.
No. I got it with the help of my friend.
Which friend?
Good morning.
- I'm Dylan. - Victor.
I'm Dylan. Nice to meet you.
Um, everyone, this is Dylan.
He knows the owner's son,
and he said he has a free overnight stay.
[PILAR] Ah...
A friend owed me a favor, and this how he repaid it.
You can stay in one of the villas.
Yay! We'll be sleeping in one room.
Mommy, Daddy, we'll all sleep in one bed, okay?
["ANO'NG NANGYARI SA ATING DALAWA" PLAYING]
Abby.
I didn't know picnics were this fun.
[CHUCKLES]
Your grandma and Aunt Kate do know how to make it special.
Come on, let's eat.
It's fun having picnics, especially in spots like this,
where the air is fresh and the scenery is amazing.
Did you and Mommy used to go on picnics, too?
["ANO'NG NANGYARI SA ATING DALAWA" CONTINUES]
Yeah, Abby.
Really? Where did you go for picnics?
Um...
Well, Mommy likes being alone back then.
I'd always go to this place not many people know about.
Turns out, your daddy went to that place, too.
I used to spend a lot of time alone as well.
And when I went to that place one day...
I met your mommy.
That's where we became friends.
I realized then that I didn't have to be alone.
I could have someone to share my life with.
Your daddy and I would always meet at that same spot.
That's where we had our picnics.
It was like all the problems in the world vanished...
when we were together.
Is that where you fell in love with each other?
["ANO'NG NANGYARI SA ATING DALAWA" CONTINUES]
Excuse me. I'll just go find Grandma, okay?
Later.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
[VICTOR] Are you okay?
- Liana! - [ABBY] Mommy!
- Mommy! - Liana!
- Mommy!
[CRYING] Mommy!
- Wait, Abby. - Mommy.
[PILAR] What happened?
I don't know. She suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed.
- [PILAR] Call a doctor now. - [ABBY SOBS] Mommy.
[PILAR] Kate, hurry.
- Let me do it. - [ABBY] Mommy.
[PILAR] Apply some water. It might be a heat stroke.
[VICTOR] Got it. Liana?
[ABBY] Mommy.
- Liana? - [PILAR] Liana.
Mommy.
A--Abby.
Mommy, are you okay?
Why? What happened? Sorry...
[PILAR] It's okay, Abby.
You suddenly collapsed.
Huh?
Oh, Abby, come here.
Why are you crying?
[ABBY SOBBING]
[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]
Victor.
[MELANCHOLIC MUSIC PLAYING]
I guess I should thank you.
You can rest now.
I'm sure Abby tired you out today.
I never get tired when it comes to Abby.
I want to make sure she's always happy.
But...
But what?
I don't know if we can still make her dream come true.
Her dream of having
a complete and happy family.
She will never feel sad because of that.
Even if we can't give what she wants...
I will try to find another way.
I will give it my best for as long as I can.
I will shield Abby from pain and sadness.
[MELANCHOLIC MUSIC CONTINUES]
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
- Whee! - Whee!
- [PILAR] Hey, slowly now. - [ABBY, KATE GIGGLING]
- [KATE] Be careful, Abby. - Mommy! Daddy!
- Hmm? - Yes?
Thank you again.
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
Did you have fun, dear?
I had so much fun.
[CHUCKLES]
I hope we can do it again.
I wish we could be happy like this every day.
[SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES]
Let's go back there sometime.
Dear, oh, dear.
It will be a hassle for Kate's friend.
[PILAR] Give me your bag. We'll bring it upstairs.
Thank you, Grandma.
You know, it's better if you change your clothes first.
Take a little rest,
and then we'll work on your assignments, okay?
Okay, Mommy.
Look at you wanting to go swimming again
even if you haven't finished your assignments yet.
Hmm? Yes?
I love you both so much forever and ever!

[CROWD CHEERING]
[REFEREE] Go. Fight!
[JIMBOY] You've got this!
[MOROSE MUSIC PLAYING]
Well?
Did you have fun?
What do you want?
For me to say no to my daughter?
Just be honest.
You wanted it, too.
You know...
I don't want to argue with you.
We're not done talking.
You didn't come here to talk, Alex.
You're here to pick a fight! Isn't that right?
I'm sorry.
I really am.
I'm only acting this way because I can't be with you.
Do you know how difficult it is
not to be with you?
Even if Victor is gone,
nothing will change.
Sylvia is still there.
I still have to wait.
[MOROSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
This is what Victor wants.
For us to fight.
And he is succeeding.
He's driving a wedge between us.
Do you really think Victor still has something to do
with our fights?
Because I feel like he doesn't!
Victor has nothing to do with our fights anymore, Alex.
[SIGHS]
[BELL RINGING]
[CROWD CHEERING]
[MAN 1] Fight!
[MAN 2] You've got this!
Go for it!

[JIMBOY] Whoo!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Whoo! Whoo!
Yeah!
[BADONG] Good job!
- Grandma... - Yes?
What are you cooking?
I'm frying the dried fish Mosang gave me.
It's actually a gift from her husband.
This pairs well with sinigang and mung bean soup.
Come on.
Let's eat.
Take a seat.
[COUGHS]
[RETCHES]
What's wrong? It smells good.
- [VICTOR CLEARS THROAT] - Oh.
- [VICTOR SIGHS] - Perfect timing. You're here.
I've already prepared the food.
- Call Abby. - All right, Grandma.
This is perfect for our celebration.
Huh? Why?
Grandma, I won the fight.
Wow, congrats.
- [RETCHES] - Hey.
- You okay? - [PILAR] What's wrong?
I just need to step outside for a moment.
[RETCHES]
I'll call Abby.
Okay.
Based on your ultrasound,
you're about eight weeks pregnant.
Congratulations.
I will just get your prenatal vitamins, okay?
Excuse me.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
Alex.
Alex, what should we do?
I don't know yet.
What?
You still don't know?
But didn't you say you wanted to make sure?
Well, we are totally sure now.
Alex, come on.
This baby will be the greatest evidence of our affair.
Alex, say something.
Why are you awfully quiet?
I'm telling you everything because you're part of this.
Now, tell me...
Tell me what to do
because I don't know what I should do!

Oh, here he is!
Congratulations, Alex.
Congratulations.
I just did my job, sir.
[CHUCKLING]
Jimenez Corporation didn't make a mistake
in getting you as their lawyer.
That illegal smuggling case
would have ruined their company.
- Yeah. - We're a perfect match.
They want to win. I hate losing.
Well, Alex, do you mind?
We have something to show you.
Oh, yeah.
- [BOSS LAUGHING] - [CLAPPING]
Whoo!
[BOSS LAUGHING]
Looks good!
[BOSS] Welcome!
Is this a prank?
[CHUCKLES] Prank? Of course not.
You know us, Alex.
We don't play around, so congratulations.
- Thank you, sir. - Congratulations.
- Sir? Partner. - Partner.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
Congratulations, Alex. You deserve it.
We deserve it, Sylvia.
And we don't expect any less, Alex.
I know that putting your name in the firm
will only help us.
Yes, this will be a big help
in building the firm's reputation!
- So, let's celebrate! - Yes.
Come on, bring it in!
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
- [KNOCKING ON DOOR] - [KATE] Liana? Liana!
Come in.
Have you taken Abby to school?
Grandma said you're not feeling well.
Are you okay?
Uh, I just needed to rest.
Do you need anything?
Uh, do you have any pads? I ran out.
Can I borrow some of yours?
- Sure. - Okay.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
[OMINOUS MUSIC CONTINUES]
Liana?
[KATE] Aren't you on your period yet?
[KATE] We usually have it around the same time,
or you have it before I have mine.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[KATE] These packs look unopened, too.
Did you have your period last month?
Or do you think it's coming late?
Uh, maybe it's just caused by stress.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES]
Oh, maybe that's why you don't feel well.
You're about to have your period.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC SWELLS THEN FADES]
You're new to this firm, Alex.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
The last time Victor beat you,
you lost your judgeship.
This time, it's more dangerous.
Just one DNA test...
...and this child will be Victor's greatest...
...greatest...
...evidence against you.
He can charge you with adultery.
And you can be disbarred.
[MOROSE MUSIC PLAYING]
I've explained everything to you.
So, if you need anything, just text me.
Yes, got it. Thanks again, friend.
Anyway, since you're already here,
why don't we go out?
You know, have a couple of drinks, celebrate.
Tsk. Maybe next time. Abby's waiting for me at home.
How about this?
A massage. A spa date?
[SIGHS] Maybe next time.
Uh... When did you become such a killjoy?
Come on, just this once.
I just really missed you.
Anyway, I'll just go by myself.
I will have fun alone.
Oh...
What the--Seriously? You love this scent on me.
You don't want coffee,
you don't want to get a massage,
and you're grossed out by my perfume...
[MOROSE MUSIC PLAYING]
Liana, are you pregnant?
[UNSETTLING MUSIC PLAYING]
So, you are pregnant.
Does Alex know?
[UNSETTLING MUSIC CONTINUES]
And Victor, does he know?
- [EXHALES] - Well, he really shouldn't.
A lot of things could happen.
Alex could be disbarred, and you could go to jail.
And yes, I mean the both of you.
What would the people say? [GASPS]
How would you tell this to Abby?
William...
What I need is your support.
I don't need you to scare me.
Friend... I'm not saying this to scare you.
I'm just stating all possible scenarios.
- Yay, yay! Whoo! Yay! - [PILAR] Oh, the garbage.
[ABBY] Yay!
[PILAR] Abby?
- [PILAR] Are they there yet? - Oh, no!
Are they--Oh! Watch where you're going, dear.
- I'll take care of that. - Oh. Thanks.
I have to go catch them.
You can go play now, dear.
[ABBY] Yay!
Yay!
[UNSETTLING MUSIC PLAYING]
[ABBY] Yay!
- [MUSIC FADES] - [JULIANA SNEEZES]
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
Are you sick?
Maybe...
Maybe it's just something I ate.
You should get that checked.
Who needs to get checked?
- [DOOR CLOSES] - It's Liana.
She must've eaten something so she feels sick.
But we had the same food for breakfast.
How come you're the only one who got sick?
Um...
William and I went out for dinner last night.
Uh, maybe it was something I ate there.
Either way, you should still have that checked.
Victor's right.
It's better to be sure about it.
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
[MUSIC FADES]
[JULIANA] Victor's starting to suspect something.
And I don't know how long I can keep this from him.
I know a doctor.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
What do you mean?
[OMINOUS MUSIC CONTINUES]
There's a way out of this...
...and this is the only solution I can think of.
- [SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING] - What?
You want me to have an abortion?
[SOMBER MUSIC CONTINUES]
[EXHALES]
I think that's the only way.
Is it really the only way, Alex?
This is our baby we're talking about.
Do you really think I can do what you're asking me to?
I've already lost a son, yet you're asking me to do this?
I know how it feels to lose a child, too.
But what do you think will happen to us
if you continue this pregnancy, huh?
We'll both end up in jail.
And you will be separated from Abby.
- [SOMBER MUSIC CONTINUES] - [JULIANA EXHALES, SNIFFLES]
I wish there were some other way, but there isn't.
And you know I'm right.
- [JULIANA GULPS, SNIFFLES] - We have to do this.
[JULIANA SOBS]
But I'll be with you.
[JULIANA SNIFFLES]
You're not alone, I'm with you in this.
[SOMBER MUSIC CONTINUES]
Excuse me. The doctor's ready to see you.
Alex...
[SOMBER MUSIC CONTINUES]
[MUSIC SWELLS]
[MOURNFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
It's for the best.
Everything will be fine.
[SIGHS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
Ma'am...
Do you know this place called Coronado?
- It's torn up, but... - It's over there.
I just had my checkup there.
Okay, thanks.
CORONADO OB-GYNE CLINIC
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[CLATTERS, CLINKS]
Ma'am, we'll begin the procedure now.
[BREATHES DEEPLY]
[SNIFFLES, EXHALES SHARPLY]
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
Stop the procedure!
[MOROSE MUSIC PLAYING]
Juliana.
Sorry.
[SNIFFLES]
I can't go through with it, Alex.
[SOBBING] I can't do it.
I don't want to lose my child.
I can't bear to lose my child.
[SOBBING]
[MOROSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
I'm not in the mood to fight, Victor.
You're pregnant.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
Yes.
I'm pregnant.
You're the father.
Are you trying to fool me again?
No one else can be the father but you, Victor.
[SCOFFS] So, nothing's going on between you and Alex?
Go ahead, believe what you want to believe.
Why did you hide it from me, then?
[SCOFFS] Well? Why won't you answer me?
Because this child will only chain me to you.
It's fine if you don't want to believe me,
because I can take care of my children by myself.
I'm just letting you know, Victor,
but it doesn't mean I need you.
I don't need you.
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
I'm glad you've thought things through.
When will we tell Grandma about this?
We'll tell her once I'm sure.
Sure of what?
[UNSETTLING MUSIC PLAYING]
DNA INFOGRAPHICS
Lifeline DNA Diagnostics
Where are you going?
I agreed to have a checkup because I thought
you've come to your senses, but what's this?
You want our child to undergo a DNA test?
Have you lost all respect for me?
There's nothing to be upset about
if you're not hiding anything.
Besides...
this is your chance to prove my suspicions wrong.
Hello? Yes, I'm here.
I'm just waiting for you.
I'll help with the DNA test
to make sure that everything goes well.
Sorry, I'll call you back.

[ALEX] I'm in a meeting. Let's meet later.
[CAR DOOR SHUTS]
[ENGINE TURNS OVER]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES]
Why did you agree to the DNA test?
I had no choice.
If I didn't, he'd be even more suspicious.
You shouldn't have told him that he's the father.
It's mine, Liana!
I couldn't think of another way.
I mean, you didn't give me an alternative, did you?
[YELLS]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES]
[JULIANA] Wait.
What?
What's with that yell?
Why are you angry at me?
I didn't know that this would happen.
Alex, we're the ones who made this child.
Why are you making it seem like it's my fault?
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to.
I just have a lot on my mind right now.
Which facility is it?
I'll find a way to resolve this.
I gambled on you and our relationship, Alex,
because I thought you were different from Victor.
I thought you wouldn't leave me.
[JULIANA] So, what's going on?
Why do I feel like I'm the only one
taking on this problem?
- [DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING] - [JULIANA SOBBING]
[SNIFFLES]
The results are positive, Alex.
Victor is the father of the child I'm carrying.
Maybe they'll finally settle their marital issues
now that they're having that child.
[YELLS]
I'll do everything to keep you, Juliana.
Are you really doing this, Victor?
You're flirting around while I'm pregnant?
Only one person is behind this.
[GRUNTS]
You should've made sure
you didn't screw up your own plan.
Here's the thing you wanted.
I can keep my mouth shut for the right price.
