01x03 - Oil and Water

[bunniefuu]

We're well aware of what
happened between the two of you.

But just maybe, all these years
he's spent working for you

earned him a little gratitude.

All I'm asking for
is a little help.

You've never been shy
about helping others.

[mockingly] Helping people?

[menacing laugh]

If I was still the mayor,
why wouldn't I help?

What reason would I have
to turn you down?

Whoa, take it easy.

Thank you.

How'd you know
they were on to me?

What's the plan?

You stay here.
Keep an eye out.

You got your money.
Now where's my dad?

You b*stard!

Sorry. I'm real sorry.

[man] Stacey?

Is that you?

[Jairus screaming in pain]

Jairus!

- Dad.
- Yes?

I'm done fixing the engine.

All it needs now is
an oil change.

The sedan?

Well, of course, the sedan.

Why don't you
just sell instead of

spending time
tinkering just to fix it.

[Nato sighs]

Is that piece yours?

You're screwed if mom catches
you with that.

I'm just fixing it.

It's for Caloy.

That numbskull relies too much
on his knife.

Doesn't know a thing about g*ns.

And you? Do you still remember
how to assemble this?

I doubt I still do.

Oh come on.
I taught you how to myself.

I was still a kid
back then, dad.

I don't remember the first
thing about g*ns.

[Laurie] Hon?

Hon?

Stacey?

Come on inside.
Let's eat.

What's that?

I thought I already told you
not to get Stacey caught up

in any funny business?

[sighs]
I'm just cleaning it.

You told me you'd stop
messing around with g*ns.

That life you lived
is all in the past now, Nato.

And so it truly is.

I'm done with all that.

I'm just fixing it up for Caloy.

What's with the look?

Believe me, that's not mine.
Okay?

It's Caloy's g*n.
Not mine.

I'm just fixing it
up and cleaning it for him.

Call him and ask him yourself.

He's telling the truth, mom.
He was just cleaning it.

He wasn't trying to
teach me anything.

And besides, I'm not really
interested in g*ns.

[Laurie scoffs]

You two better not
be lying to me.

[chuckles]
Come on. Let's eat.

Come on inside.

I thought I already told you not
to stress about having to cook.

You should be focusing on
getting all the rest you can.

[Nato] Better to just order
food and have it delivered.

[pensive music]

[g*n c*ck]

EPISODE 3:
"OIL AND WATER"

Authorities have opened
an investigation

on San Jose Mayor Perry Kalaw.

After a man, supposedly
under his payroll,

came forward to disclose details
of an alleged "hit list."

The list allegedly contains the
names of people k*lled under

orders from Mayor Kalaw starting
from 2016.

Among the names include the
election officer who was found

dead inside his office just
this past Thursday.

Mayor Kalaw has yet to issue a
statement on the alleged murders

as he focuses on his bid
for reelection.

So, what do you think?

Who's the damn rat?

I have no idea.

[Nato sighs]

-This is bad
-Dolfo's here.

[Caloy] Any news?

I got nothing. No leads.

[line ringing]

[line ringing]

Yes?

They're here.

- What do you think about Dolfo?
- Okay.

- I don't trust him.
- Sure.

Same here.

Yes.

It's the mayor.

He wants to talk to you.

Mayor. Uh...

Good evening.

How are things, Nato?

[clears throat]
No news yet, Mayor.

But I'm sure none
of us ratted you out.

You sure don't know your
own people, Nato.

We traced the call and found out
it came from San Roque.

From inside a
radio station's office.

If you think about it, we only
have one man who's from there.

[Dolfo] It's Jonas.

You can't even keep tabs on
your own people, Nato.

That's impossible.

Jonas has been working for us
for a long time, mayor.

So who the f*ck do you
think ratted me out?

No one else is from there.

It's easy to bribe people with
the elections around the corner.

Someone could have
bought him out.

Let me talk to him first, okay?

I'll handle it myse-

Handle it!?

If you had, none of this
would be happening.

[sighs]
Mayor... It's not Jonas.

In all the years he's been
working for us,

it's the first time something
like this has happened.

Let me talk to him first.

I'm done with talk.
Silence that son of a b*tch.

Nato, I don't like
waiting around.

Can you do it or not?

[Dolfo] Don't worry, I'll do it.

I'll take care of it.

Nato, if you're not going to do
it, Dolfo will.

The job's going to get done.

Only question now is, are you
going to see it through?

[clears throat]
I'll do it, mayor.

We'll get it done.

Make sure that Jonas doesn't
make it through the night.

Will do, sir.

Go on. Get going.

[eerie ambient]

Since when did you become
the mayor's favorite?

[Dolfo scoffs]

Nato...

you're old.

c*ck son of a b*tch!

What!?

[eerie ambient]

If you don't want to tag along,

no problem.

The only reason you're still
in the payroll,

is because the mayor feels
sorry for you.

He keeps you around out of
respect for his father.

Only Jonas, understand?

Don't harm his family.

[Dolfo scoffs]

[sneers] Sure thing.

[ominous music]

- Foul mouthed b*stard.
- I'll just go get Jairus.

[heavy breathing]

Hello, Jonas?

Jonas, where are you?

Uh... Jonas,

listen carefully.

Pack your things and take your
family.

Get as far away as you
can from this place.

The mayor thinks
you ratted him out.

I know it wasn't you.
I'm sure.

But there's nothing we can.

He's made up his mind.

Leave now while you can.

Understand?

Just go! You hear me?

-Jon-
-Nato, what's the hold up?

Let's go

The bald b*stard
is growing impatient.

[eerie ambient]

[groans] Ouch!

Take it easy, will you?

Ouch...

No need for that.

I'm okay.

Stacey.

Mind grabbing my
cigarettes from... from the...

top of that cabinet.

You sure you didn't see
who did that to you?

And how was I supposed to?

Take a look at me.

Everything happened so fast.

I didn't have time to react.

You still haven't told me
what happened to Jairus.

[pensive music]

Get away from here, Stacey.

Leave this mess behind.

He's not going to stop,

until we're both dead.

So, it'd be better
if you just leave.

Before he finds you.

And where would I run off to?

They're all gone.

I need to find the person
who did this to you.

Only one person who's capable
of doing this comes to mind.

It's Dolfo.

The guy who replaced dad?

That's right.

Aside from your old man,

he's the only one who knows
how to find me.

You know me,

I got a lot of
people looking for me.

The both of us.

Your dad and I.

I guess that's just how things
play out when...

when working for Mayo Kalaw.

Anybody with a grudge on the
Mayor, has a grudge on us too.

But your dad was different.

Nato was a good man.

He had a really pure heart.

But if it was an order
from the mayor,

all his principles went out
the window.

What the hell did
Kalaw made you do?

Was my dad a criminal?

Stacey, your dad
was not a criminal.

Your dad didn't k*ll anyone.

We would always hire someone
to do the dirty work for us.

It's the same thing.

He only did those things out of
love for you and your mom.

Can you really blame
him for doing what he did?

He wasn't even able to finish
school.

Stacey, we were
just kids back then,

when we started working
for Kalaw's family.

His dad was the
head honcho back then.

That was his way
of making a living.

That's why he wanted
you to study in Manila

so you wouldn't notice all the
nasty things we did.

That explains why he didn't get
mad about what I did in Manila.

Stacey...

Your dad loves you.

You know the saying that goes,

"When you love someone,

you'd accept them for who
they are.

Even if they've
done bad things."

What do you plan to do?

I'll try to find a way to get
one step ahead of Dolfo.

Can you go get me the...

from inside one of the drawers,

a box of cookies.

[pensive music]

Open it.

[ominous music]

You're going to need that.

[eerie ambient]

[eerie ambient]

[eerie ambient]

[eerie ambient]

[eerie ambient]

[car alarm blaring]

[goon] Ben?
Hey, Ben!

[car alarm blares in background]

[eerie ambient]

[ominous music]

[ominous music]

[indistinct background chatter]

[indistinct background chatter]

[indistinct background chatter]

[ominous music]

Hey, wait wha... Hold on.

Where's Dolfo?

[stammers] I don't know.

I'm also looking for him.
I thought he would be he-

Out.

Go on.

[Stacey] Get in the car. Hurry.

Take it easy, please.
Don't hurt me.

Do you know
where I can find Dolfo?

[stammers] Yes. Of course.

Just take it easy, please.

Is that yours?

No, that's not my car.
Wait up. Just a sec.

Can you not point that thing
at me? I'm just a nobody here.

- Can you drive?
- Yes, I can drive

[g*ons shouting from distance]

Get in. Hurry.

[g*ons shouting from distance]

Take me to Dolfo.

[car keys jangling]

- Hurry up!
- [panicked] Yes, okay.

[car engine starts]

[tense music]

[tense music fades]

Uh... Miss? The truth is I'm
also looking for Dolfo.

I heard he was always hanging
around in Kalaw's place.

Quite unfortunate that
he wasn't there now.

Just shut up and drive.

Sorry.

I get yappy when I'm nervous.

- Turn that thing off.
- Sorry. My bad.

Sorry.

[pensive ambient]

Why are you looking for
Dolfo, anyways?

You owe him something? Or
is it the other way around?

That prick has
a lot to own up to.

Almost all of Kalaw's men have
some sort of debt to own up to.

Serves him right to
lose the last electi-

Can we just keep it quiet?

Keep your eyes on the road.

My apologies.

Once you bring me to Dolfo,
I'll let you go.

[man] This is it.

Yeah, this is it. Right here.

Here it is. We're here.

It's this house right here.

Get out.

Wha-What do you mean get out?

You're coming with me.
Get out.

But I thought we had a deal?
Cut me some slack, will you?

Well then how the
hell am I supposed

to make sure this
is the right place?

- But we had a deal, lady.
- Get out!

[man] I got you here.
That's that.

[eerie ambient]

Okay. Take it easy.

I'm getting out.

[man] Just take it easy.

- What now?
- Ring the doorbell.

- Why me?
- Just do it!

Alright. Okay.
Just take it easy

There you go.

Happy?

Whatever it is you plan to do,
leave me out of it.

-Your tha-
-[Stacey] Inside!

[ominous music]

[Dolfo] Mhm...

Yes, sir.

It's finished.

Yes, they're here.

Right next to me.

Is that so?

Will do.

It was just a job.

The mayor's orders.
You know how it is.

You've done similar jobs
in the past.

[grim music]

I never harmed their families!

This is all on you!

For sure his wife already spoke
to someone.

If his kid was there...

I would have done the same
to the kid.

I don't regret anything.

Nato, where are you going?

I'm going to report to Kalaw.
What else?

He asked me to report to him.

He explicitly said that I was
to go to him alone.

He told me to tell you
to not bother coming.

[eerie ambient]

[ominous music]

Sit down!

Close the door.

Alright. I'm on it.

Where did you take my dad's
body?

You're Nato's kid, right?

You're that b*tch who stole
the mayor's car.

Yeah, that's me.

Why do you come to me looking
for your father?

[scoffs]

Isn't he supposed to be in the
hospital right now?

After what you did to uncle
Caloy and k*ll Jairus,

you still got
the nerve to play dumb?

Just tell me the truth.

- Truth of what?
- Stop bullshitting me!

I'm telling you the truth!

You can even go on ahead
and blow my head open,

I still wouldn't know what the
f*ck you're talking about.

- Just tell me the truth!
- Son of a bit-

[screams in agony]

Where is my dad?

Take it easy. Enough already!

Where did you take
my dad's body?

What's going on here?

Dolfo!?

[tense music]

[Stacey groans and grunts]

[tense music]

[g*nsh*t]

Dolfo!

[sinister music]

[man grunts in pain]

[man groaning]

[tense music]

[man shrieks in pain]

[tense music]

Come here you f*cking b*tch!

So, you're the prick who
took my dad's body.

Who the hell are you, anyway?

[mocking tone] Can we
just keep it quiet? Okay?

Keep your eyes on the road.

Don't even think about doing
anything stupid

if you still want to see your
dad's body.

You know, at first, you really
weren't on my hit list.

I was after Nato...

Dolfo...

Caloy...

And of course let's not forget
that adoptive brother of yours.

He was there too.

They're the one's
I wanted to k*ll.

Well that was before.

But when I saw you...

and witnessed how easy it
was for you to k*ll

an innocent man who was already
a vegetable in the hospital...

You're no different from them.

But what I can't quite wrap my
head around is...

we're both just kids of g*ons
who work for the mayor.

But how is it that you...

someone who's done
countless crimes...

is still walking free?

Me on the other hand,

I haven't hurt a fly, and yet
I'm caught up in this mess

your dad and his
friends started.

Keep your eyes on the road!
Just play it cool.

Just keep going.

Eyes on the road. Keep it cool.

This is the road going
to the warehouse, right?

[menacing tone]
I'm pretty sure...

by now the cops have found
your brother's

dead body.

- His name was Jairus.
- I don't give a sh*t!

Is that also where you
stowed my dad's body?

It doesn't matter where
your dad's body is.

All that matters now is this
one last you have to do for me.

Just keep going straight.
Don't even th-

[tires screeching]

[pensive ambient]

[Nato] What are you supposed
to do

if the engine stops?

Take a deep breath.

Set the shifter back to neutral.

Don't pay attention to the cars

honking and hounding
you from behind.

Just be present.

Take a deep breath.

Put your foot on the brake
and the clutch.

Restart the engine.

Put it in first gear.

Gently put your foot down on
the gas while

slowly letting go of the clutch.

Go on. You can do it.

Stacey.

Stacey.

[ominous music]

[ominous music]

[tense music]

[shouts] Help!

[Stacey groans]

Help!

[tense music]

Where do you think you're going?

Keep still!

Get over here!

Think you can get away?

[shouts] Answer me!

[man grunts in pain]

[man screams in pain]

[tense music]

[Stacey shouts and screams]

[ominous music]

[tense music]

[g*nsh*t]

You people better hurry up.

The polls are
right around the corner.

Hello, Jonas?

Jonas, where are you?

Uh... Jonas,

listen carefully.

Pack your things and take your
family.

Get as far away as you
can from this place.

Marco! Marco!
Wake up!

Get up!

- What?
- Get dressed. We're leaving.

-Go on. Hurry
-Hold up. What happening, dad?

I don't know!

Nato just called saying
that the Mayor's angry with me.

Go on and get dressed and
pack your stuff.

[Dolfo] Where's his son?

- That Jonas has a son, right?
- Don't mind the kid.

We have to move. Let's go!
