01x11 - Manindigan

Post by bunniefuu »

Your father is innocent
until proven guilty.

But unfortunately,
his offense is non-bailable.

But there is a silver lining.

Didn't you say that
your father has cancer?

Well, we'll use that as a reason
to get him an exemption.

Really?

How long until he's released?

Technically, he should only be held
for 36 hours max.

But because there's so much red tape,
I can't say for sure.

It will also depend on the prosecutor.

I would say that one month
would be considered fast in this case.

One… one month?

No, he needs to get treatment.

His illness could worsen there.

Young man, keep this in mind.

Your father's illness

gives us a huge advantage.

So, our next move
will be to file an appeal in court

for his treatment.

And I believe we can win this case
on technicalities.

And by the way, I want you to know that

I have accepted your father's case.

All right, Attorney! Thank you.

Hold on!

Don't get too happy yet.

We're just getting started.

After filing the case in court,

he'll be transferred to
the provincial jail,

and he'll stay there
while the case is ongoing.

So, I must warn you,
it's going to be a long fight ahead.

If there is a fight we can win,
then we fight, Attorney. For Dad.

But I also have to ask something.

How much will it cost?

We lawyers charge per appearance.

But before that,
you have to pay an acceptance fee.

And for you…

Fifty thousand, Attorney?

That's already low, young man.

Normally, I charge 100,000.

But based on my interview
with you earlier,

I saw that you and your father
are struggling,

so I'm giving you a 50% discount.

Young man?

All right, Attorney.

I'll take care of it.

I'll find a way to get you the money

so we can get Dad outside
as soon as possible, okay?

The attorney said we have a chance.

We'll all be together again.

I'll take care of you.

Dad, are you okay?

Dad, are you sure you're okay?

Are you okay, Dad?

Boss! Sir! Are you deaf?

Please, get him some water.

Jimmy, what's happening?

It's okay.

Come on, Dad!

No. Sir, help him.

Call the doctor.

-Sir? Are you okay?
-Dad!

-Come on, Tay.
-Hold on.

Buddy! Come on, help me.

Jimmy Boy, what's happening to you?

Something's in his throat.

-Come on, Dad.
-Let's go.

Come on.

-Dad!
-It's all right, Dos.

Leave him to us.

Get a doctor, okay?

Why is life sometimes like this?

You're already down,

and you're kicked some more.

I'm losing my mind.

I don't know where to get that much money.

Bro, maybe, just maybe, I can help.

How much do you need?

Maybe I can lend you some.

Fifty thousand, bro.

Fifty thousand?!

Where will you get that much money?!

You tell me.

No, bro, maybe you can plead
with your lawyer for a lower price

because it's just a short time in court,
but the fee is so high.

What is that?!

Barok, Dos needs a good lawyer.

Of course, there's a price for that.

So, Dos, what's your plan?

I don't know, maybe more FX work.

But even if I earn big on each trip,
it won't be enough.

Should I just sell my kidney
to get the cash?

You're not serious about that, right?

How much is the selling price of--

It's Coach.

Coach, any news?

Dos, good news!
I found a tournament near you!

The prize money is pretty good.

Okay! Coach, sign me up, okay?

Thank you, Coach. Thank you.

Great!

-OMG! There's hope!
-I want to start training!

-Bro!
-Okay, you two go ahead.

All right!

I need to start training, right?

Dos! Remember, this is
for your father's expensive lawyer.

This is also for
your father's medication, Dos.

Do your best. You can do this.

You got this!

Put your hands up.

-Here we go, ladies and gentlemen!
-Go, Dos!

Bro, remember that this is for
your father's expensive lawyer!

For your father's medication, Dos!
Do your best!

All right, let's start!

-All right, all right!
-It's time to begin, my friends.

Feeling each other out first.

There it is!

Laurente landed a big one right away!

A heavy hit! Will De Lima recover?

They're clinched up!

Time out. To the corner.

De Lima is down, friends!

Will De Lima be able to stand up?

It looks like De Lima is
about to make a comeback, friends!

-De Lima looks fine.
-Green. Start.

-One more!
-All right!

Show us what you're made of.

I don't know if De Lima is dodging…

-That's it!
-Let's go, Dos!

…or if he's dancing.

-Go, Dos!
-Is Laurente getting scared?

A left hook!

Looks like Laurente
felt that one, friends!

Oh no! Laurente is now cornered.

Keep your hands up!

He is being pummeled
by De Lima's body shots.

Now they're feeling each other out again.

-I don't know who has the upper hand.
-Dos, jab!

-Jab-Straight!
-Jab-Straight!

Recover! Recover!

Release your inner beast, my friends.

There it is, Laurente goes for the clinch!

Looks like those body shots
tired out De Lima.

Laurente's looking to try a straight!

His straight slips through.

-Jab-Straight!
-Jab-Straight! Recover! Recover!

De Lima fell for the second time.

Dos! Dos! Dos!

Countdown has started!

He not trying to stand anymore, my friend!

We have a winner!

Jaime Laurente II! Hitman Punch!

That's how it's done!

Trina!

Dos! Dos!

Jimmy.

Mike.

Here.

Some medicine for your cough.

Thank you.

Thanks again.

Don't forget to take it, okay?

Thank you.

Anyway, bro, this one's on me.

Just don't forget my share, huh?

Hey! Are you serious, Barok?

Come on, I'm just kidding.

But seriously, it's on the house.

-Are you sure?
-Sure?

Of course!

Does Auntie know?

Leave it to me.

We need to make sure
our champion is well-fed!

Ouch, bro.

So you hit like--

Keep it up.

Sorry about that. Sorry, sir.

I'm sorry, sir.

Your food's on me.

Thank goodness Mom's lugaw
is delicious, right?

You look even more handsome
when you're flustered.

Yeah, bro.

You're making my body
hurt more from laughing.

Mom's gonna k*ll me again.

The idiot didn't even pay.

He's the idiot now?

Fine, it's me.

Dos, it seems like we need to treat
your bruises and wounds.

It's okay, they'll disappear
sooner or later.

What do you mean?!

Not with that face!

You need to get that checked properly.

Trina is right.

You need to get better because
you won't be able to fight like that.

There! See?

Bro, it's okay now. It's okay, right?

So, spend more money
just to get treated, huh?

No way. I'll just bear with it.
This is nothing.

I'd rather save it for Dad.

You are so stubborn!

How can you get your father out
if you don't take care of yourself?

Still nothing, bro?

You're that stingy.

You know, Trina, he doesn't
spare anything for himself, right?

Just like this guy
when he's in love, right?

Hey! I'll treat those cuts for you!

-Hey! What--
-You'll really feel pain.

MAKE THE HIT WHENEVER POSSIBLE

I have never seen a face so beat up
with that big a smile before.

My grandson is getting more handsome.

Of course, Apung.

I won.

And…

this will help take care of
the lawyer's fees.

Is that really why you're smiling?

Or is it because of your friend earlier?

What's her name? Trisha?

It's Trina.

No, Apung, we're just friends.

Oh, really now?

But, you know,
it's good that you're surrounded

by good friends, right?

No matter what happens,

they'll be there for you.

They understand that
everything is for Dad.

You really do take after him.

Hardworking, determined.

When he wants something,

he finds a way to get it.

Of course, Apung.

"The second" in the name,
the second coming in the game.

But, grandson,

just remember,
even if you're drowning in love,

don't forget to use this.

It's not just about love.

Use them both. Balance it out.

Otherwise, both will give you pain.

I talked to someone
from the Public Attorney's Office.

You can go there.

Isn't it difficult to get help there?

Bro…

My wife's cousin works in the PAO,

and that lawyer is easy to talk to.

Hey, that's great!

You know we can't afford a private lawyer.

What's with all the whispering?

There's nothing sacred here.

That's the point.

That's why you can arrange
his visit immediately

so you can prepare for the trial.

Thank you so much.

That's a big help.

When you give out the supplier's name,

it will be smooth sailing from there.

The lawyer's also interested
because it's a big case

if there's a supplier involved.

The case will also help land a promotion.

Quid pro Quo.

So?

Can you give me a guarantee?

Maybe next time.

I'll wait for some more money first.

I might impose too much
on your acquaintance there.

Didn't you say that
a private lawyer is expensive?

This is your chance to get out of there.

Bro, I know you're not feeling well.

It will only get worse in here.

Our system is slow,
but there's nothing we can do about it.

Do you want to rot in here
like all the others?

I'm just trying to help, okay?

But it's up to you how your case will go.

Think about it.

Are you sick?!

What do you mean, "Shh"?

You're such a rude kid, you know that?

So, which is it really?

You get mad when I don't study,

and now that I am studying,
you ask if I'm sick.

So, what's really happening, huh?

Is it the end of the world?

Mom, I'm just inspired, okay?

Because if Trina becomes
a lawyer in the future,

and I'm just like this, what then?

My God!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Mom, thank Trina, not me.

So, Mom, don't forget about
the Ichikults, okay?

As thanks for Trina.

Yeah?

Okay fine.

Buy some later.

Okay.

Later.

Keep at it.

-Study hard, okay?
-Sure.

Keep at it!

Okay, I will.

Son!

There's too much.

Here, Lodipaps.

Maybe you can share them
with your friends inside.

How did you buy all of these?

Just resourcefulness, Dad.

We said no more secrets, right?

Dad.

Dad, I'm saving. So…

Yes.

I'm saving up so we can get
an amazing lawyer to take your case.

Someone not too expensive,
but very capable.

As long as the fights keep coming in.

If you're just going to ruin
the handsome face that you got from me,

then it's not worth it.

I'm already hanging on by a thread.

I should be the one paying for this,
not you.

Dad, calm down.

Here, it's like you're not my dad.

I'm the one outside, so of course I am
the one looking after you, right?

Isn't that right, Dad?

The lawyer also mentioned that
we have a good shot of winning

if you just give the name of the supplier.

I know nothing.

I don't know the supplier.
I don't know anything.

Dad.

Are you scared of the supplier?

I know nothing about the supplier.

I don't know anything about it.

I don't have them as friends
on social media

and I don't chat with them.

Just believe me.

Take my word for it.

Don't get involved.

Hey. Come out from there.

You're too deep in thought.

Did you wash your hands?

No, this is…

They're clean.

You're just full of nonsense.

So annoying!

It seemed like you were
thinking too deeply.

Do you want to share it with us?

If…

if you didn't know,

I am the go-to person for all my friends
if you need some advice.

Yes. It's my area of expertise.

Try me.

-Okay.
-Try me.

-Let's see.
-Sure.

Let's see if there's any truth
to that bragging.

You won't regret it.

Let's see if there's any wisdom in you.

-It's your area of expertise, right?
-Let's go.

Okay, here's my situation.

I got caught with drugs.

The agreement with the supplier

was that I would just
fix his route here in Baguio.

After that, he would give me enough money

to secure the future of my son.

-Are you still with me?
-Yes.

I got caught.

Locked up like a bird.

Now, this bird can't even sing
because when it does,

my family will pay for it.

Now, I'm stuck.

That's my situation now

because singing is the key to freedom,

but I can't do that.

-Do you get it?
-Yes.

So, what can you say about that?

Uh, yes.

Uh, yeah.

You didn't mention that
your situation was that complicated.

See! Where's your confidence now?

You talked the talk
and here I thought you'd give good advice.

No, it's because I only have one friend

and the advice he asks for is

about what color T-shirt looks good,
pink or red,

or if he should cook fish or pork.

Just things like that.

But enough about me.

Let's talk about what you said.

Your supplier, what's their situation now
and where are they?

And what did you talk about
in case they caught you?

Well, you know,

to tell you the truth,
we didn't discuss anything.

We didn't have any agreement.

From the moment I got locked up,
he hasn't contacted me at all.

So he left you hanging.

What, you'll just be abandoned
if you get caught?

-Wait, I just thought of something.
-Yes?

Just an idea.

You need to talk to your supplier.

I don't know how,

whether he'll visit you here
or talk on the phone,

but you need to talk to the supplier.

Your advice is profound.

It's amazing!

Told you so.

Amazing!

Told you.

Hey, Mike!

What's up? Have you thought about it?

Yeah.

Can you let me out?

Take me with you.

Just kidding, Mike!

Mike…

I'm going to sing now.

Sometimes, when you're drowning
in the hardships of life,

you'll do things you'd never expect

so that, at the very least,

you can keep yourself from drowning.
