01x41 - Kwento ni Jimmy Boy

[bunniefuu]

This is a chapel, not a c*ck.

What? Are you alright?

Of course.

Do I look like I'm not okay?

I'm really glad that you were allowed
to organize a tournament here.

That's what's, not okay.

You say you're happy,
but you don't look it.

It's not like that.

I just noticed that…

since you were allowed in here,

the meaning of your words
have gotten deeper.

And now you're making origami
here in the chapel.

It's understandable…

It's hard to forget about our old lives.

That's true.

If only we could go back, right?

Love.

Loves, I'm so handsome, right?

Maybe that's why you
have bruises on your face.

To lessen your good looks.

Of course.

To level the playing field.

Not everything is given
by the Lord, right?

Oh, you!

This can do.

Loves?

Quality.

-Check this out.
-Yeah, you're right.

We even saved money.

Yeah, we did.

You're a jack of all trades now.

What are you talking about, Loves?

I told you, we didn't need to buy a crib.

What's with you?

You know what these hands

-Shhh.
-can do.

Hey!

Yeah, it's beautiful.

Is there a problem, Loves?

Problem?

No. I'm just thinking
if I'll be able to finish my studies

when our baby comes out.

Of course, Loves.

What are you talking about?

I told you…

we'll finish this,

then we'll get married.

And then, the rest will follow.

We'll find a house
and a good school for Dos.

Dos?

Of course.

Come on.
This firstborn of ours will be my junior.

Jaime Laurente II.

Dos.

Dos?

Son,
if you can hear us,

your mother and I are excited to meet you.

Maybe you could come out now?

Hey, what's wrong with you?

Just a few more days.
This guy's so impatient.

Loves, what's wrong?

Is he coming out?

I'll flag down a tricycle.

No, you're being dramatic.

He's just hungry, Loves.

I'll go cook first.

-I'll just fix this, Loves.
-Go ahead.

The anxiety doesn't go away, does it?

-And the excitement.
-Well, of course.

And come on,

we've been waiting for this for months.

We even tried several times.

Loves?

There's…

something I want to say.

What?

How do I put it?

About the fight the other day,

that was my last fight.

What are you saying?

My last…

My last local fight.

What?

Because…

What?

I got accepted into the national team!

You know, you never know when to joke!

What's wrong with you?

I just wanted to see that
expressions of yours.

The worried one.

You're so beautiful.

Well, you won't see this often anymore.

You're on the national team now.

You know, this is what
will fulfill our dreams.

This will continue my career.

-It's coach.
-Okay.

What's up?

What?

But…

After giving my all to boxing,

I was dropped from the national team.

Why, though?

Lack of government funding?

Well, that's what the coach told me.

You know?

So from that point on,
my career was ruined.

So when Dos was born,

we had absolutely no money, Doc.

The difficult part…

both Lara and I didn't graduate.

So we had no choice…

but to move to Manila,

to look for work.

I was so ashamed to be her husband.

I couldn't blame her for becoming
depressed after giving birth to Dos.

Post partum.

It's natural for new mothers
to go through that.

It goes away though, in about 3-5 days.

It didn't.

Lara's case was different.

Not like that.

Not that easy.

Eat something, so you'll get stronger.

Your back is all sweaty again.

Go ahead and eat.

Hold on.

Miss?

You going out?

I'll come with.

Where could your mom be going?

This time, you take care of Dos.

I have to overtime at the office.

Extra pay, in case our
electricity gets cut off again.

Loves, that won't happen again.

I found another job,

as a porter, at the pier.

Look at these muscles.

Perfect for a porter duties, right?

Hold on.

A porter?

I thought you got a clerk job
at the factory?

Well, they still look
for a college diploma.

You know, this can't go on, Jimmy Boy.

Loves, I told you, we're waiting
for our lucky break.

It's been 5 years.

Lara.

We'll rise above this.

Not now. I have to go.

I'm gonna be late.

Just keep eating.

Loves?

-I'll take you?
-No, it's a waste of fare.

Dad, where's mom going?

Hey, why'd you come out?

You'll get a fever from the cold air.

Go inside. Go.

Your wife's working hard, huh.

Hey, Rolly.

How's your…

business?

Working hard, Jimmy Boy.

How about you?

Did you find a better job?

Yeah.

Finally got a break.

I told you, man.

Just help me with my side gig.
So that…

you can buy your wife some bling-bling.

And don't worry, man.

This is safe.
You'll just be driving.

That's sketchy, man.

Well, if you need anything,
just let me know, okay?

Mate, what happened to Dos?

Dos!

Son!

Son!

Hold on.

Doc…

We rushed Dos to a public hospital,

but they didn't admit him,
'cause his meningitis was too severe.

It could've been bacterial meningitis.

But it's common for children to get it.

Fatal, if not treated immediately.

That's why…

we took him to a private hospital,
no questions asked.

I know it's a huge expense,
but I had not choice.

I would sell even my soul…

just to have my child treated.

So that makes…

your change, 20.

No need, Jimmy Boy.

We know this is for Dos.

Thank you.

Are you selling that too?

No, never mind, Jimmy Boy.

That might have sentimental value for you.

I heard you used to be…

For how much?

500 would be fair.

Cool!
This is the b*mb!

Thank you, Jimmy.

My wife and I will pray for Dos.

I got accepted into the national team!

You know, you never know when to joke!

Come on.

I just wanted to see that
expressions of yours.

The worried one.

You're so beautiful.

You know, if…

If I owned the place we we're renting,

I would've sold it just
to pay for Dos' treatment.

Excuse me, Doc.

My life story is a bit boring.

No, just kidding.

I like this, actually.
I like this.

We've known each for a while now,
yet I'm just getting to know you.

It's okay.

That's what happened.

I sold everything we owned,
everything we had,

just to treat my son, Dos.

Thanks, Jimmy.

You know, Jimmy Boy…

even if you sold the whole house,

it's still not enough.

I know that.

But…

everything I do is
just another thing to be fixed.

I can't just sit around.

You can drive.

There we go again.

I told you I'd never get involved
in your world, Rolly.

You won't be getting involved, Jimmy Boy.

Promise.

My schedule is
just really tight right now.

And…

the money I'll make tonight is all yours.

All of it.

More than you need.

Just think about it, man.

It's just for tonight.

One time, big time, so to speak.

Just that.

And it's all for Dos.

For Dos.

Dos?

Of course.

This firstborn of ours will be my junior.

Jaime Laurente II.

Dos.

Where to?

Chill, Jimmy Boy.

I've been doing this route for years.

It's clean, no ambushers.

So just relax.

Here.

Fifteen thousand for now.

The other half when you get back.

That's exact.

This can't go on, Jimmy Boy.

Loves, I told you we're just
waiting for our luck to turn.

It's been 5 years.

Lara!

We'll rise above this.

You know…

I don't regret taking the desperate path,

especially when
my son's life was at stake.

What's up?

Nothing

Son?

I said, you'd only be in
the hospital for a short while.

You're too strong.

Right?
Let me see your muscle?

Wow! There it is.

Okay.
Go inside.

Mom? Dad?

Where are our things?

Alright, hold on.

Rolly.

Rolly.

Brother Rolly.

What's up, Jimmy Boy?

Who are you?

Come with us.
The boss wants to talk to you.

Who are you?

We work with Rolly.

I'm sorry.
But my gig with Rolly…

That was just one-time.

One time.

Don't be too paranoid, Jimmy Boy.

We'll tell the boss you
don't want to talk to him.

Okay?

My only mistake…

was believing
it was just a one-time thing.

Magnum controlled
a large part of Metro Manila,

so I didn't know where to run.

I had no choice but to follow to him.

Eat, even just a little.

Come on, Dos. Just a little.

Water? Want some?

Loves?

Are you okay?

I just remembered my friend Jolly.

She's a domestic helper in Singapore now.

The salary is high there.

Come on, eat a bit.

Come on, just a bit.

Do you have something to say?

I'll ask you.

Have you ever wished that
our lives could be different?

Different how?

Not like this.

What if I finished my studies,

and you made it to the national team?

Things like that.

Here, drink.

You know what, forget everything I said.
I'll just go.

Feed your child.

Eat, okay?

Let me guess.
Your mom forgot something.

Loves?

Why?

I'm Magnum, by the way.

I came straight here because
you didn't want to talk to me.

My kids told me.

Boss Magnum, I'm sorry but
I already told Rolly,

it was only a one-time job.

So this is your son?

Handsome too.

Takes after his father.

What do you want, Magnum?

Excuse me.

Boss Magnum.

You know,

I came here to offer you a job.

So you can give Dos, here…

the dreams you never accomplished.

Because you were a boxer.

Please, I don't want
to get involved in that.

That can't be.

I'm short on people right now.

Rolly's not around.

And I know…

you're the perfect man for this job.

I don't know your business.

Don't you have a child?

As I recall,

you owe me his life.

And I can…

collect that anytime.

Magnum has always been cunning,
hasn't he?

Dragging a child into it.

So I swallowed everything
he asked me to do.

Along with the changes in our lives,

was also the beginning
of my lies to my family.

A lie that you need to make,

need to endure.

If you want to keep
your loved ones safe.

Jimmy Boy!

Because a father,

will do anything for his family,

for his child.

Even if it means selling
your soul to the devil.

Better you get harmed, than them.

It's about being strong willed.

The important thing is…

Comes with a car!

not to forget,
that with a double-edged sword,

Jimmy Boy.

one hand must hold onto
the hope that one day…

all this will end.

Then what happened?
