[bunniefuu]

Just straight through there.

Hello!

Hello! Hello!

Welcome rose.

- There. Oh, who else? Who else?

- Morning!

Good morning to all of you.

This is for you.

There.

Good morning, everyone!

- Good morning!

- Good morning!

You all seem unenthusiastic.

- Huh?

- Good morning!

Good morning, everybody!

- Good morning!

- Good morning!

There you go, like that.

By the way,

I'm Nanay Eka.

As they say...

Im one of the leaders,

or the mayor of

one of the cell

here at Maalikaya Penal Farm.

But!

Just call me Mom.

Because here,

we are family.

Right?

Right from the start...

We're really different, right Nay?

Yes!

And uh...

By the way, congratulations

to the newcomers!

Lets give them a

round of applause.

The warden said

from the jail you came from,

you were chosen because

youre the most well-behaved

and most obedient.

Huh? So I hope,

I really hope!

That here, you wont...

you wont bring us headaches,

no troublemakers.

Okay? Because,

as you can see,

were very different here.

Were far better off

than other Penal Farms, right?

Because here,

you have what they call...

HOPE!

Do you know what

hope means?

H-O-P-E.

There it is, written.

Helping Opportunities

Provide Empowerment.

The one overseeing

this program

is none other

than

our very kind,

and very sexy

Ma'am Wilms.

Ma'am Wilms! Take it away!

Please come.

Lets give a big

round of applause.

Right here, please.

There.

Good morning

to all of you.

Oh, looks like no one's...

- Tongue-tied.

- How are you?

- We're good.

- We're fine.

- There you go!

- Okay,

- That's it.

- Good.

Ill just explain to you

what HOPE is.

HOPE is a program

where well be given

a chance

to work right here

inside the Penal facility.

This is a livelihood program

where youll be given

hope.

Looking forward

to being with all of you

and getting to

know you more.

Thank you very much.

Come on, applause.

A big round of applause.

A warm one for Mommy Wilms.

Thank you, thank you.

Right? Shes so kind, isnt she?

Right from the start,

we already have the chance

to change

even while were inside.

Right?

You, you, you!

You can change.

Lets hear some applause for that.

There.

Hey, get up!

Line up!

So slow.

Hurry up!

Faster!

- One!

- Count!

- Two!

- Three!

- Four!

- Five!

- Six!

- Seven!

Eight!

You're all so slow.

Okay? Just a reminder.

Our cell must always be clean.

Alright? I dont want any fighting.

Okay? Is that clear?

No fighting,

and no stealing.

If you need anything,

we have a facility over there.

You can make a request.

Okay, Kara?

Because you

You go over to...

Here. Youll stay there.

Okay? Thats where

youll put your things.

Thats your bed.

You, on the other side.

Nanay, over there

you water the plants.

Here, here.

Over here.

Fix it, dear.

There!

Go ahead!

There.

Over there!

There.

This needs to be redone.

Ill just raise it a bit

because thats how she wants it.

Can you hold this?

Is that okay?

There, right there.

No, not that, that's grass.

Over there.

Whats your name again?

Kara.

Kara.

Lila.

We need to redo this because

its a bit lifted.

Roses are a bit delicate.

Theyre thorny.

They sell these outside

so they really need

to be well cared for.

They need water.

Just a little water

because they drown easily.

They need a lot of care.

Here. Your turn now.

Just water the plants, right?

Leave it to me.

I can handle it.

Its not just watering.

You also need to look at

the weeds growing around them.

Sometimes there are insects

that you have to remove.

Sometimes the wind blows.

They fall over.

Thats the secret

to growing it well.

You wont even notice.

Its already blooming.

Whats your case?

m*rder.

What about you,

whats your case?

Arson.

Who did you burn?

My parents.

And you?

How long have you

been in city jail?

Hmm...

I was in city jail a long time.

Because...

I had a boyfriend

who was a warden there.

Thats why I got here quickly.

Heres more.

Good thing you came

to the penal, right?

Of course.

Im kind.

This is yours.

Hey! Come here!

Come in!

Dont be shy.

Not all newcomers

get beaten up.

Thats not true.

We do a different

kind of beating here.

Right?

- Geez...

- You know,

its easy to be good here.

You're lucky

it's just six years.

Thats quick.

For us, its ten years each.

Oh no.

This is where we'll end

up looking haggard.

I k*lled him on

our wedding day.

Youre strong.

You k*lled him on

your wedding day?

Good thing you stabbed him.

You werent the one stabbed.

I did the same

to my old pimp.

He wouldnt let me leave.

So there.

He got to know

who I really am.

Bang!

There. Life sentence, idiot.

They deserve it.

- Right, Kara?

- Yes.

They deserve it.

- They really deserve it.

- They deserve it.

Good evening to us all.

Hello! Hello! Hello!

Inmate!

Lets give ourselves

a round of applause.

Right?

One week has

already passed.

We almost didnt notice, right?

How fast the days go here

at Maalikaya Penal Farm.

Before we rest

and sleep all day,

we need to first celebrate.

Thats why we have a lot.

We have a party today

and a lot of food prepared.

And this celebration

will be announced to us

by none other than...

None other than,

Mommy Wilms.

[cheering]

Thank you very much

and good evening to you all.

Applause.

Now, this program is

will honor our

top one in

the livelihood program.

None other than...

- Who could it be?

- Who do you think?

- Thats Kara!

- Kara!

- Oh, you have fans!

- Kara! Kara!

- Kara! Kara!

- Thats right! Its really Kara!

[cheering, applauding]

- Miss Eka.

- Thank you, Ma'am Wilms!

Congratulations, Kara!

Okay, congratulations!

Maybe you want to

Do you have

something to say?

Even just a little...

Few words.

To tell everybody.

Thank you so much

to all of you.

Thats short!

Okay.

Now,

aside from celebrating

Karas award,

its more important

to celebrate tonight

the freedom of Miss Pola!

[cheering]

Applause!

[cheering]

- There!

- Congratulations!

- Congratulations!

- Amazing, right?

- Congratulations!

- Congratulations!

Where are you going?

What... You wanna come?

Were just going out.

Ill come too.

Little girls are not allowed there.

Shhh!

What the...

I wanna come too.

Wow! Your outfit looks great.

It really suits you!

I wanna come too.

Next time!

Ill bring you.

Just think of it

as another livelihood

program outside.

You get to go out?

Wait, let me fix your hair.

Thats getting close.

Wow!

Acting cutesy.

Are you a virgin?

Whered you get the idea I am?

Nothing really.

Just one look

at you and I knew.

Oh!

This ones still

tight down there.

Go on then.

If its not true, lets see?

Im just not comfortable

talking about it.

Why not?

What do you think

we do outside anyway?

Yeah, Im not stupid.

I know what you

all do out there,

thats why I want

to come with you.

But I dont have

my own experience.

Like after class,

I always had to go home.

Then my dad got used

to bossing me around.

So I promised myself,

from now on

Ill decide for myself.

Like now,

I want it.

Are you sure?

You have to be

prettier than the girls

in the other cell.

Dont worry.

Im with you.

You wont do anything

you dont want to.

Just say so if youre

not okay anymore.

Whats your safe word?

When you say that,

Ill go with you

and well leave.

Rose.

Well, well, well!

Looks good.

Is she ready?

- Huh?

- She's ready.

You already talked to her?

She knows what she'll do?

You already know?

Good. Ill take your picture.

Just look here.

Ah... Fix your hair a bit.

There.

Just look here.

Like, you know.

Like you look pitiful.

Come on, try it.

Thats it. Beautiful!

Okay? So, she knows, right?

Well just put you

in the blue book

so the customers can see you.

Then well head out

to the neighborhood.

Well ride with

Maam Wilms van.

Because,

this is still a livelihood

program, right?

Why did that one come along?

She might try to escape.

No, shes obedient.

Dont worry.

And besides, she's with Lila...

Sir?

Would you like powder, or lotion?

Lotion, please.

Sir, would you like a service?

She wants to watch.

Is that okay?

Sure!

Dont worry.

Ill just take care of myself.

So?

Can you handle more?

Is your friend

joining in too?

Depends if you can handle it.

Alright.

If she wants to!

What?

You still cant sleep?

What?

You cant sleep again.

Just thinking.

What is it youre

thinking about again?

Just tell me if you

dont want to, okay?

I wont force you.

I actually want to.

Maybe because youre there.

And I feel like I have

someone with me.

So then...

One more?

Hey!

She'll do it again!

So, what do you want to do?

Well do whatever you want.

Nothing.

Im not sure yet.

Acting virgin!

So, what is it?

I dont know yet.

All I know is,

Im happy.

Nice one.

Youre happy?

Even though youre only 19,

and you k*lled someone

on your wedding day?

What were you thinking?

Because I got tired.

Tired of what?

Tired of always following.

Smile, come on!

Theres a crowd out there.

Smile now!

Its always my dad

making the decisions for me.

What I should eat.

What I should wear.

What course to take in college.

Dad probably thought

it was okay for me

to be like Mom.

Thats why even my husband

he chose him for me.

I didnt mean for it to happen.

I couldnt even think clearly

on my wedding day.

I just kept doing

whatever they told me to do.

Just to get it over with,

because I was tired.

I didnt want to follow anymore.

I just couldnt take it

when he came near me.

It felt like I was

doused with water.

I really felt disgusted by him.

I was just as surprised

when I suddenly picked up the knife.

Because...

I didnt want him to feel

disgusted by me either.

Do you regret it?

No.

I wanted that.

It was my decision.

Hi Sir.

My stomach hurts

from laughing earlier.

He's so abnormal.

But he really did

what I wanted.

Now his one pop is all gone.

So dumb.

You really love

messing around, huh?

Maybe, later on

Maam Wilms

might find out.

She might scold you.

Whatever. Ill do what I want.

Do whatever you want.

Just dont fall

in love with a customer.

What if youre around anyway?

- Good morning!

- Good morning, maam.

Sit down.

Once in a while,

I really call you girls in

because I want to talk to you

about your experience

here in Bighari.

And of course,

about our program too.

I heard so many

good things from Eka.

Your flower garden section

its beautiful!

The flowers

so well taken care of.

Thank you, maam.

I expect a good yield

- of roses, okay?

- Yes, ma'am.

Im really doing my best.

Because I want to show

how much I appreciate

your welcome here

and that I have a

chance to change too.

And Im sure that

Ill be on my best behavior.

So this garden,

I can make it my

work when I get out.

After all,

my sentence here

is just temporary anyway.

Aside from your

gardening activities,

is there anything

you want to tell me?

Nothing really, maam.

Because I heard

some clients were complaining.

They said you're

pushing them away.

Are you toying with them?

But they like it too,

Maam Wilms.

You were just lucky

that they did.

What if they actually

didnt like it?

What if they werent okay with it?

Then they wont come back.

They wont spread the word.

Well also have

a hard time then.

So if I were you,

just follow what your

customer wants to do.

Are we clear?

Yes, maam.

Good.

So? What did Ma'am Wilms say?

Hey!

You brat!

Someone might see us here.

What did Ma'am Wilms say?

Nothing. She just

said to wash up.

Youre crazy.

You know, I want

to buy milk tea,

samgyupsal,

lechon,

donuts,

sisig,

milk tea,

and

Ah...

You repeated milk tea.

I really want milk tea.

You want to eat so much

when you get out,

you might get fat.

Why? You wont like me

anymore if I get fat?

No matter what you are,

even if you start to look like

Ursula from

The Little Mermaid.

Youll eat all of that.

Sir?

Sir?

Sir?

What happened to you?

Youre still so quiet.

But you still smell so good.

You still havent changed.

But not like before,

when you looked like a child.

You dont look pitiful anymore.

Or maybe it's because...

I already know you.

Why did you choose me?

Why?

Because I wanted to see

my wife.

I missed you.

I missed you...

And I remembered

our honeymoon

isnt over yet.

Youre still an as*h*le!

Why?

This is paid for, right?

So I can do

whatever I want.

Right?

Screw you!

What do you want to do?

What do I want to do?

This is what I want!

There!

Thats what I want!

Hmm?

I paid your father for you.

And yet you're acting

all high and mighty!

Hey!

Youve got a visitor!

Kara,

its me.

I brought you some food,

but...

the guards wouldnt let it in.

How are you?

Damn them.

This wont take long.

Youll get out soon.

Then well eat a feast, okay?

By the way,

the HOPE program...

Its on pause for now.

Things are a bit chaotic.

Theyre investigating

how you got out.

Ma'am Wilms,

she got dragged into it too.

Now shes in hiding.

I dont care about

them anymore.

As for me,

Im okay now.

Yeah, you're okay.

But what about us?

HOPE is gone.

That means were not

earning anymore either.

What now?

Well just sit around here, dazed?

Sorry.

I didnt mean to drag

anyone down with me.

Theyll find someone to

replace Ma'am Wilms soon.

You.

Youll be out of here soon.

But I...

I dont want this anymore.

Im done.

Im done with all the games.

Why dont we just be together, Lila?

Sorry.

Please dont cry anymore.

Why didnt you

just follow the rules?

Thats why we were

picked for Penal, right?

Because we were good at this.

You shouldve just

gone along with it.

Nanay Eka is gone now.

Even Maam Wilms is gone.

Because of you,

we lost our freedom.

Sorry, Lila.

Good morning.

Good morning!
