Hello?
I know where Anna is.
She's still in San Rafael.
Did you tell him where my sister is?
Grace, come with me. I don't want you to get hurt.
Sir, don't take me away from Mama.
If you plan to give me away,
can you just give me back to her, sir?
You're ruining your career.
This is my chance to make it up to her, while I still can.
1997?
So Jessica and I are almost the same age.
That's not Jessica.
Who are you texting?
I'm getting tired of you!
When Papa died,
you should've abandoned us!
Stop blaming Anna,
because she had nothing to do with what happened to Papa!
It's Mama's fault!
Anna, forgive me.
I know you're confused about what you heard about me.
But that's not true.
I kidnapped Grace Banaag.
You found yourself in a tight spot, huh?
Anna is here!
She's here!
You liar!
You told me you'd let Grace and I go!
You've brought so many people into this.
I lost everything because of you.
I lost my child!
I lost Chito!
Now, he's in jail!
I won't let you get away with this.
If I'm miserable,
I'll make all our lives miserable as well!
I'll ruin your life too!
You know, I used to feel sorry for you,
because I thought you just made some wrong decisions.
I thought you could still change.
But after everything you've done, I realize you're hopeless,
because you're selfish!
All you think about is yourself!
That's why your child turned her back on you!
Ouch!
What?
Do you enjoy hearing the harsh truth, huh?
You're a worthless mother!
Let your child go!
Shut your mouth!
I won't let you get away, because whatever you say,
you took my child from me.
And you still broke the law!
Fine. I may be wrong.
But the difference between the us,
is I did everything for Grace, for your child.
I wanted to save her. What about you?
What did you do? You were ruining her life!
You made her miserable!
Anna Grace?
Stay here! Where do you think you're going?
Huh? Stay here!
Anna is here!
Anna's right here! Help!
Anna!
You didn't do anything wrong.
It's Mama's fault!
It's her fault that happened to Papa.
Uh, you should get some rest, Ma.
Dear, please forgive me.
I'm still hurt, Ma.
But I know…
…that someday, I'll forgive you.
Because you're still my mother.
And, Ma, I love you so much.
But I also love Anna.
And I'll forever be guilty for what happened to her.
I'm scared.
I'm afraid of…
…what Anna will do next.
Why, Ma?
Because you're afraid she'll tell on you?
I'm afraid…
…we'll lose her.
Yes.
I admit…
…I blamed her for everything that happened to us.
There's a part of me that used to think,
would that have happened to us…
…if she was never with us.
Why would you think that, Ma?
Is it because she's adopted?
That's not her fault.
Erin,
whether you believe it, or not,
I love your sister.
Hello?
Uh, Miss Sarmiento, have you heard from Anna?
Why?
Sarah saw her.
What happened?
She escaped. But the police are looking for her.
Please tell me when you find Anna.
Update me when you find her.
All right.
Thank you.
Ma.
You need to see what Miss Miranda did.
Huh? What did she do?
I did it.
I kidnapped Grace Banaag.
No! What is she doing?
I've been trying to call her.
Everyone's looking for her.
But she won't answer my calls.
Jess, this is bad.
I understand Miss Miranda's trying to protect Anna.
But this is on a different level.
She admitted to committing a crime.
She could end up in prison.
I need to talk to Mommy, Thomas.
How?
I think I have an idea where she is.
Mommy.
Mommy!
Where have you been? It's late.
I know you're upset with me.
But you'll have to talk to me eventually.
Please, talk to me.
You want to know where I was?
I met with a lawyer, Ma.
And I told him what you did.
So you want me to go to jail?
Because of you…
…Papa died.
-I didn't say that! -Oh, please, Ma!
Do you think…
…it's easy for us to get over Papa's death?
All right.
I understand.
But please take care of Erin, okay?
When will the police get here?
The police won't arrest you.
The lawyer said…
…they can reopen the case on Papa's death.
But I can't prove what happened…
…if there are no other witnesses.
And I'm sure Erin won't do that to you.
Because no matter what you did,
she still loves you.
Are you happy now, Ma?
You're safe, and you won't go to jail.
How can you say that?
Ever since your father died,
my conscience has been bothering me.
So now, whether I go to jail or not,
what I've been experiencing is worse than serving life.
Princess?
Princess.
Forgive me.
Please forgive me.
I'm sorry.
Miss Miranda?
Grace?
What are you doing here?
The nerve of you to ask me that.
This is our family's home.
Jessica, I don't want to argue with you.
Why?
Are you still not satisfied?
Mommy already cleared your name.
I didn't know she would do that.
I don't know what you did to trick my mom.
Jessica, you know your mom.
She's smart.
Do you think I can trick her?
Enough, Anna!
How can you let this happen?
Why do you have to ruin my mom's life?
-I didn't ask her to do that. -But she did!
Because you don't want to leave!
As long as you're her responsibility,
she'll cover for you!
Are you going to use her until nothing's left to her,
not even her dignity?
That's not true!
All you do is take, take, take!
From Julius, Mommy,
and from all the people around you!
Don't worry!
I will make sure to reciprocate your help!
I know how to repay debt of gratitude!
-Grace! -They're not there!
Mommy isn't here, neither is Julius!
Grace!
I told you they're not here!
Miss Miranda?
Are you just going to leave?
Yes.
Sorry if I made you worry, Grace.
Where's Julius?
He's talking to the doctor.
Why?
Does anything hurt?
I really made you worried, huh?
Sorry.
Why are we in the hospital?
I'm sick.
But I will recover soon.
Really?
While I'm recovering,
can you keep this for me?
The bracelet?
-Yes. -This is our secret, right?
Yes, it's still a secret.
Just in case…
I can't tell Anna…
I also have a bracelet like hers,
can you tell her for me
when I'm not with you anymore?
Why?
Are you leaving? Where are you going?
No.
No, I'm not going anywhere.
Just in case.
Can you promise me?
Okay. Positive.
Thank you, Grace.
Hello, Julius?
Why weren't you answering?
I kept calling you last night.
Even Jessica called you.
Julius, where are you?
You're with Jessica?
Yes, she's here at the house.
I'm sorry. I had a lot to take care of.
We're in a hospital.
Grace and Miranda are with me.
Hospital?
Why are you there? What happened?
Is Grace alright?
Yes, she's okay.
I'll message you the address.
Julius, how's Mommy?
Jess, you need to get here as soon as possible, okay?
Let's talk here.
I have to go.
Did you tell anyone that we're here?
No!
But the police are looking for you.
So it's possible that the police are checking
all the properties connected to my mother.
Bring your car to the back. Now.
Did you call Jessica?
Yes.
She and Anna are together.
They're on their way here.
Julius.
Why did you do that?
Miranda, Jessica needs…
…and deserves to be by your side.
Look, I know you're sick.
I've talked to Carmen.
She told me to bring you here.
-Julius-- -I talked to your doctor.
Julius…
I don't need pity.
You just don't want to look weak to other people.
But Jessica is your daughter.
Miranda, you need to let her help you.
Mom?
Mom, are you okay? What happened?
-Are you okay? -Ah…
Yes, dear.
I'm just dizzy. I'm really… I'm really fine.
Julius is just a bit…
dramatic. So he brought me here.
But I think it's for the best
because I'm friends with the doctor here.
The doctor let me stay here.
We can hide here.
Why did you say you kidnapped Grace?
You only made it worse for yourself.
Because I realized that…
I have seen everything.
I have been through my own…
highs and lows, but Grace…
Her life is just beginning.
When I helped you,
I wasn't just helping you.
I thought I would also try to…
…give Grace the kind of life that she deserves.
Is that really it?
Anna, what's going on?
I don't know who to trust anymore.
Uh, did something happen when you left?
Anna…
Y-You can trust me.
Mama.
Grace.
I know you were so worried
that we took her.
I'm glad you're safe.
The police came to the house but we were able to escape.
Mama, did you miss me?
So much.
Mama?
Why are you sad?
I'm just sad…
I'm just sad because…
my loved ones, the people I owe my life to…
They…
They chose to hurt me to protect themselves.
Did someone pick a fight with you?
Tell me who it is. I'll get back at them for you.
You don't have to do that.
But Grace?
Can you promise me
that no matter what happens…
you'll tell me everything?
Don't ever lie to me, okay?
-Congratulations. -Thank you.
We're excited for you, ma'am.
-Thank you. -You deserve it.
-Thanks! -Congrats again!
-Excuse us. -Thanks.
Sarah.
-Mm! Nice! -Hi.
They got your face on a huge screen!
They even made standees of you!
You're going to replace Miranda?
Well, who else could it be?
She admitted to have kidnapped your daughter,
so that is a no-go for our show.
Aren't you going to thank me?
For what?
Acting clueless, are you?
You don't remember?
You destroyed Miranda's image
because I told you everything.
Mm-hmm. You're right.
Uh…
Of course.
But can you keep it down? What do you want?
Why are you here?
I need your help.
This can't end with Miranda taking all the blame.
Anna can't get away with this. She deserves jail time.
Okay. What do you want me to do?
I don't know.
I can't do all the thinking, Ashley. You're smart, right?
Well, what I know is she had an investigator
do a background check on Anna.
I found some documents…
in her investigator's office.
I can check them.
I'll get back to you
if I find anything we can use against Anna.
Good enough for you?
Mm-hmm. I'll come with you.
Grace?
Mama.
What's that?
Huh?
It's nothing.
Grace, remember our promise?
You promised not to hide anything from me.
But…
I also promised her…
that I'll only tell you our secret
if she doesn't get the chance to tell you herself.
Sorry, Mama.
Who are you talking about?
Miss Miranda.
Who were you talking to, dear?
What happened?
Is it true?
You have cancer?
Jess…
I asked a doctor about your meds.
They said those meds are prescribed to patients…
with colon cancer.
Jessica…
Mom, please don't lie to me.
Dear…
I am so sorry, dear.
I didn't want you to find out this way.
How could you keep this from me? Why didn't you tell me?
I could've helped you through this.
I didn't want to burden you.
It's not as if I'm going to die.
I'm going to get treatment.
When?
You've been spending all your time with Anna.
You know why I'm doing this, right?
But she put herself in that mess!
You didn't need to get involved!
I'm just making it up to her while I still can.
She wouldn't be in this situation
and she wouldn't have had to suffer all her life…
had I…
had I not given her away.
I'm a mother, Jess.
A mother who made a huge mistake.
One day, you'll understand…
-…when you become a mom. -No.
I would never understand you, Mom.
Because now, you're not thinking clearly.
You're in pain.
You need to focus on your treatment,
not on Anna.
If I fail to help her,
please help her, dear.
I know this is asking a lot.
But, dear…
I want you two to patch things up before I'm gone.
Ma.
Please, baby.
Do it for me, dear.
Here's the boyfriend's photo.
His name is--
Ma'am, I'm sorry but…
I know you.
You're the one who replaced Miranda Valdez, right?
I know that you're here
because you want to get information about her.
It's not about Miranda.
It's about Anna.
Miranda asked you to investigate on Anna, right?
What do you know about her?
And why should I tell you?
Because I'm hiring you. It's your job.
Don't worry, I'll pay you just like Miranda did.
Ma'am.
My job is to get information, but not this way.
This could damage my reputation.
She'll pay you threefold.
Stop playing hard to get, sir.
Come on. Tell us.
What does Miranda know about Anna?
Miranda didn't hire me to investigate on Anna.
It's the orphanage.
You mean, Forever Loved Home orphanage?
But why?
Because Miranda put up her child for adoption.
She wants me to look for her child.
Wait. I'm confused.
We're only asking about Anna.
She is her missing child.
Anna is Miranda's daughter.
What are you doing here?
Anna, can we talk?
I can't.
What should I do for you to forgive me?
So I should forgive you because you apologized?
It's not that easy.
What you did greatly affected me.
Believe me.
You're still my daughter no matter what.
"Daughter?"
No mother would do that to her child.
I took care of you.
I loved you the same way I love your siblings.
But you stopped loving me when Papa died.
That's not true.
That's not true, Anna.
Ma, all my life, you made me believe
over and over again that you loved me.
I didn't abandon you.
I've helped you with your problem about Grace.
I covered up for you and protected you,
even though it meant making a lot of sacrifices…
…and your sisters are upset with me.
I did all that.
I did all of that because I love you.
You call that love?
How long will I be in debt to that love?
Do you just feel guilty for what you did to me?
It's not love.
You're just guilty.
Anna, dear.
Anna.
Did Helena do anything to you?
The nurse said you two were arguing earlier.
It was because my mother lied.
It turns out it was her fault my father died.
What?
They got into a fight that day.
I don't know what they fought about.
My mother accidentally hurt my father.
So, he was injured before he saved me.
But my mother made me believe that…
She made me believe that my father died because of me.
I endured all the hate they threw at me.
It even came to a point where I started thinking that…
that I don't really deserve to be happy.
That I don't deserve to be loved.
So I pushed people away.
I pushed them away because I felt like I didn't deserve it.
Anna…
If only I could get rid of all the pain you're feeling…
I will do anything.
Don't forget our deal.
Just let us know once you get the results.
Okay.
Thank you.
Lando!
Hey.
Oscar.
What's up? Has your shift ended?
How about you? What are you working on?
Of course…
it's a secret.
So, how are you?
Do you need extra income?
Aren't you Miranda's private investigator?
Does she know you're meeting with Sarah and Ashley?
Huh? Oh.
We just talked.
What did you talk about?
Not much. We just caught up with each other.
Tell me the truth, Lando.
Or else I'll tell Miranda about this.
Hold on, man.
Aren't we friends?
I'll repeat my question.
What did you talk about?
How long will you be here?
Mommy has told all the doctors and staff to keep this a secret
and lie if someone asks where you are.
Who else will you drag into your mess?
Don't worry.
We'll find a way to leave at the soonest.
When?
Mommy has sacrificed a lot for you.
She even took responsibility for your crime.
Don't you have any shame or conscience at all?
Look, I tried to leave a lot of times
because I don't want to drag people and I don't want to owe anyone.
Then leave! It's as simple as that.
Don't worry about my mom because I'll take care of her.
All her sacrifices will be in vain if you get caught.
I never asked her to take responsibility for what I did.
But she did it anyway.
Don't worry, I'll clear your mother's name.
And I'll do that without your help
because I don't want to owe anyone a thing.
Grace, let's go.
-But, we're still playing-- -You need to rest.
-Wait! -Grace, come on!
I told you to rest.
Hey, is there a problem?
I don't want her to get used to this because we're leaving.
He's just going to be hard.
We've talked about this, right?
I'll go with you.
Julius, will you please stop?
First of all, I didn't say you could come.
It's my problem, so leave us alone.
Hold on.
After everything Julius did to help you,
you got nerve to talk to him that way?
Stop venting your anger on Julius.
You've got no one else to blame but yourself!
Jessica.
Why are you talking to Anna like that?
So, I'm the bad guy now, Mom?
Hello?
I just want to confirm something.
What is it?
What do you know about Miranda and Anna's real relationship?
"Real relationship"?
I just talked to Miranda's investigator a while ago.
He said Anna is Miranda's daughter.
Do you know anything about it?
Jessica.
Find Anna.
Talk things out.
Mom, I don't think we could fix anything
if we talk now.
She's too angry.
How could she blame the people who helped her?
I feel bad for you and Julius, Ma.
Jess, Anna is going through something right now.
She found out that her father died…
was actually because of Helena.
She's very upset right now because…
she blamed herself for it for a long time.
Put yourself in her shoes, dear.
I'm sure she feels like no one in this world is on her side.
Let's not upset her even more.
Miranda, Sir Jimenez called.
We have a problem.
He talked to your private investigator.
She found out about you and Anna.
What do you mean?
That Anna is your daughter.
I can explain.
That's not even the worst part.
Before Sir Jimenez found out,
he saw Sarah and Ashley talking to your private investigator.
They also know the truth now.
Well, we have to do something about it.
-This is it, Sarah. -Mm-hmm.
-This is the moment. -Mm-hmm.
Don't forget all my instructions,
especially on how to act so you'll look credible.
Act?
I won't be acting, girl.
I'm mad as hell.
I'm make sure they'll both fall and never rise again from this.
It's not enough.
Sending them to jail is not enough to punish both of them.
That's my girl.
-Uh, excuse me. -Mm-hmm.
Ms. Banaag, let's rehearse the blocking.
-Blocking? -Yes, this way, please.
My left side looks better.
Sure. No problem.
-So, this is my seat? -Yes.
Hello?
Think hard about what you're going to do, Ashley.
Well, well, well, how's life in hell?
I've been waiting for your call, Miranda.
This is not a game, Ashley.
You'll ruin a lot of lives if you do this.
That's the point. I want to ruin your and Anna's lives.
Actually, this is what you do, right?
In fact, this is a tribute to your legacy.
Reuniting families.
But this time, it would be Miranda Valdez herself
reuniting with her long-lost daughter, Anna.
A family of kidnappers.
Okay, go ahead.
I'll air your dirty laundry too!
Does Galvez know about what you're going to do?
Oh, come on, Miranda.
Your threats don't work on me.
Do you really think I'll be scared?
What's an affair that's hard to prove
compared to you being a kidnapper
and what you did to your daughter?
Imagine, the Nation's Mother
abandoned and put up her own daughter for adoption.
Go for it.
You think you have the upper hand?
Let's see. You are so wrong.
Yes, Miranda?
Do you know about what Ashley's going to do?
She wants to destroy me?
Then my next call will be to your wife and children.
Let's ruin each other's lives.
Mama.
I have something to tell you.
Please don't get mad.
What is it?
Grandma Helena called yesterday.
I was the one who picked up.
She wanted to know how you were doing.
But she sounded sad.
Did you tell her where we were staying?
She just wanted to talk to you.
Why? Did you two fight?
Please don't be sad anymore.
So many people love you.
Grace…
about that secret Miss Miranda told you…
Can you tell me what it is?
I just want to know if we can trust her.
-But… -Grace.
Come on.
Mama, can you give me more time?
I'll talk to her first.
I made a promise to her.
So she can tell you herself.
I'm begging you.
Miranda…
if there was at least an ounce of sincerity
in the kindness you showed me back then,
please give me back my daughter.
Stop this.
Stop spreading lies and slandering me.
You're throwing all sorts of wild accusations against me.
It's clear which of us is right and wrong.
Grace is my daughter.
A child should be with their mother,
and that's me.
Whether or not your appeal will reach Miranda,
we're here for you.
I assure you that the police are doing everything they can
to get Grace back.
Trust me.
We will get justice.
I'm confused.
I don't understand why Miranda's so confident.
Where does she get the nerve to accuse me?
But she's doing all that behind the camera.
Face me!
Show me my daughter.
See you in court.
You and Anna are ganging up on me.
Why?
-Is it because-- -What a bold statement!
Thank you very much for your courage, Mrs. Banaag.
Stay tuned. Karamay will be right back.
-Ashley! -Yes?
What happened?
Why did you do that?
We agreed to tell the whole truth.
Sarah, I'm not the only one making decisions
about these things.
Let it go. Okay? Let it go.
The show was good. We got our point across.
And we don't have to drag them lower than they are now.
What nonsense is this? That's not enough!
We agreed to reveal Anna and Miranda's real relationship.
What are you doing?
We should ruin their image, just like how they ruined mine!
Just be grateful, okay? Don't be greedy.
Greedy?
You're calling me greedy?
Why? Because you got the show you wanted?
-Don't-- -You'll throw me under the bus?
Don't cause a scene, Mrs. Banaag. Guard!
I haven't even done anything. You want to see me do trouble?
Alright, let me show you. Don't touch me!
-Come with me, ma'am. -Let go!
I can walk myself out!
Alright, ma'am.
What did you do?
It worked.
For now.
Miranda, you know that the truth will come out someday.
Until when would you hide this?
Mama?
You found the bracelet?
Grace, why are there two of these?
Mama, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I just asked Miss Miranda.
But she said I shouldn't tell you yet.
So, this belongs to Miss Miranda?
Yes. She said she'd give it to you.
You're making a fool out of me!
Let's see who'll look like a fool now.
Good evening!
Many people watched today's episode of Karamay.
I just wanted to say
that they didn't tell the whole truth!
I know Miranda Valdez's connection to Anna Sarmiento.
Auntie! Auntie, watch this.
What is it?
Sarah is talking nonsense.
Miranda Valdez is covering up for Anna
because the truth is…
Anna is her daughter.
Anna was the baby she gave up for adoption.
Ma, what's the meaning of this?
Wait a minute.
Hey! What are you going to do?
I need to tell Anna.
Anna, there's something you need to know.
Julius. Julius, help me.
Anna might leave.
Grace said…
Grace said Anna became anxious when she saw the bracelets.
I need to explain it to her, Julius.
Julius, she might leave. Please help me.
Find her.
Miranda Valdez is covering up for Anna
because the truth is…
Anna is her daughter.
Anna was the baby she gave up for adoption.
Anna?
Anna.
It's you?
Ho-- How?
Why?
Believe me.
I was going to tell you.
When were you planning to tell me the truth?
Should I include you in the list
of people who kept secrets from me?
Anna.
How long have you known?
I found out when we were in Palawan.
Is that why you helped me?
Because you wanted to make it up to me?
Is that it?
I'm helping you because I know you're not a bad person.
And I want to be with you.
Anna…
All those times we were together,
we would look at each other straight in the eyes.
I opened up about my feelings
and shared my thoughts with you.
But you knew you were lying to me all this time.
I got scared.
No! You got scared?
You were scared because you did something wrong.
Anna, no…
You were scared because you gave me away!
You gave me away, right?
Anna, I didn't want that to happen.
I wasn't ready that time.
I thought… I thought I was alone.
I gave in to fear.
I let the people around me get into my head.
You have no right to blame others
because it was your decision.
Being a mother is a decision,
just like how I chose to be a mother to Grace.
The truth is…
you wanted to get rid of me and be out of your life.
What I can't understand and accept
is that no mother would want to be away from her child!
-No… -You know what?
I would've given you respect
if you admitted you were wrong and selfish.
That you don't care about me!
No, that's not true.
That's not true, Anna.
Anna, please…
Let me help you.
That's all I ask.
Anna…
Do you think after everything you've done,
I'd just forget what you did to me?
You can't just choose…
when it's convenient for you to become a mother.
And you can't just come to me…
and choose when you'll ask for forgiveness.
Anna. Anna, please…
I know that. I know.
I'm not asking you to forgive me right away.
Just give me a chance.
That's all I'm asking.
Please give me a chance to make things right for you.
Please, dear.
Anna.
Anna, please. Please don't go.
-Anna. -You've helped me enough.
I'll make sure to return the favor.
But remember this.
No matter what you do,
I'll never consider you my mother.
You're not my mother.
You only gave birth to me.
She's a worthless mother!
You ingrate!
What do you want, huh?
She's not well, and we might lose her at any moment!
