[OST Playing: Prinsesa

by PPOP Generation]

Good job, guys!

Please go back.

Now, for the beginners, you may already

claim your uniforms at the office.

Next session is a Gi day. Clear?

Next volunteers?

Nothing will ever happen

if you're going to be scared.

Any volunteers?

Elise Guerrero...

[suspenseful music playing]

Jaymar Castro...

[in Portuguese] Fight!

[tense music playing]

Always remember that...

BJJ revolves around the concept that

even if you're weaker or smaller,

you can still fight and win.

[Elise choking]

Elise, push!

You have to fight!

[Elise screaming]

[Elise panting]

[tense music continues]

[panting continues]

[people chattering]

[lively music playing]

[lively music continues]

Hold on. Where are you going?

Don't go home yet.

All you do is study.

You also need to

go out and have fun.

Just this once, Elise.

Come on, let's party and enjoy here.

Okay.

I'll just go to the restroom.

You'll be back?

You'll be back, okay?

Alright, go ahead then.

Okay, I'll be back.

Hey! Let me join you!

[crowd cheering]

Am I good? I want to hear it.

Yes, you are so good.

Am I too tight? I want to hear it.

Ems, let's go home now. Come on.

Oh, please.

Do you know why

you're acting that way?

Because you're not drinking.

Elise

Okay, fine. Let's have a deal.

When you're already as drunk as I am,

let's talk about going home. Okay?

Ems, let's go!

Mark and the rest are already there.

- Wait, wait!

- Okay, okay.

Bottoms up! Okay?

Cheers?

Cheers!

[Guy] Make a guess.

Is it a thing?

[Guy] No. Wrong again.

One more shot.

You've got this.

Ems, that's enough.

I'm taking you home.

[Guy] She's fine.

How can we go home, Elise?

You haven't finished your shot.

- Come on, let's go!

- [Guy] You're such a killjoy!

- That's enough. Let's go.

- Finish it first.

[Guy] Here, take a shot.

Hey, hey! Take another shot.

You haven't answered it yet.

There you go!

So, you're not good in guessing.

You'll also join the game later, okay?

- Come on, continue guessing.

- Is it a food?

Food? You're correct.

So, I'll take this shot, okay?

Am I eating this?

[Guy] It depends on you. Shot!

That's enough. I'm done. Bottoms up.

- Ems, come on. Let's go home now.

- No. We still have a lot.

- Let's go!

- A little later.

[Guy] This one is for you.

Ems, let's go.

Oh, this one is already drunk.

You should assist her.

Hey, can you still drink?

You haven't guessed it correctly.

[ominous music playing]

[ominous music continues]

[Elise] Ems... Ems...

Who are you?

Ems, let's go home...

Ems?

Ouch!

Help!

Help

[camera clicking]

Help! Help!

Help me!

Who are you?!

Who are you?!

[Elise groaning]

[grunts]

[Elise panting]

Help!

[Elise sobbing]

Help me!

Please help me!

Somebody r*ped me upstairs!

Ems? Ems?

[Elise sobbing]

Ems!

- I was sexually assaulted upstairs!

- Oh! Elise!

[Riza] You've already gate crashed.

And now, you're even making a scene!

Please believe me!

Do you really think that Marco will run

after you if ever you'll play the victim?

[Elise sobbing and panting]

Guys! Guys!

Did you know?

Elise was my classmate

back in high school.

And I've read her diary.

[Riza] Dear Diary, I really

want to have a boyfriend.

[crowd mocking]

[laughing]

[Riza] I'm ready now!

Then, why did you reject Marco?

You wanted it so badly

And yet you're choosy.

And do you actually think that

someone will r*pe you here?

If I know, you're just

masturbating upstairs

[crowd mocking]

While replaying in your head

how Marco and I had sex earlier.

Are you so jealous that you have to

make up a story in your mind?

Guys, what do you think?

Is it true or fake news?

Fake news!

I also think that it's a fake news!

Cheers for the fake news!

[crowd cheering mockingly]

[dramatic music playing]

[dramatic music continues]

[music fades]

[door knob rattles]

[door knob rattles]

[suspenseful music playing]

[door knob rattles]

[suspenseful music intensifies]

Good morning, baby girl!

You thought I'm a goddess

who came down on earth?!

Oh, please. It's just me!

Come on, eat up!

This is really good.

Were you enchanted?

Oh, I see...

you're annoyed with me, aren't you?

I'm really sorry about that,

my husband texted me.

Come on, eat up.

This is really good.

Before it gets cold!

Don't you have class today?

So, I'm just talking to myself?

Fine!

Come on, eat up.

The food might get cold.

Please eat.

I won't go to school today.

I'll just buy some groceries, then.

What do you want?

What do you want me to buy?

Banana? Eggplant? Oh! Cucumber?

Yes, cucumber is really good when it's big.

Okay, I'll buy that for you.

Okay. Bye! I'll take care of it.

Okay, bye!

[door closes]

[somber music playing]

[breathing heavily]

[panting]

Dad

[sobbing softly]

[sobbing]

Dad

Dad

[sobbing]

[somber music continues]

[Dad] My dear Elise...

if ever you're reading this right now,

I'm sure I'm already gone.

Don't be sad, my dear daughter.

We fought a good fight.

We fought for two years.

But sadly, your dad

really needs to rest now.

Even though I'm already gone,

remember what I always remind you.

Take good care of yourself.

Don't ever allow

anyone to hurt you.

I want you to be strong.

[Elise] I am strong.

[Dad] You are always enough.

Your flaws don't make you

unlovable or deserving of violence.

You are worthy of love and respect.

[Elise] I am enough.

I am worthy of love and respect.

[Dad] Challenges will come your way.

Sometimes you will fail.

And you'll get hurt.

I want you to know

that you will heal

slowly but surely.

You will get your power back

and you will win.

[Elise] I am healing slowly but surely.

I will get my power back

and I will win.

[Dad] You are in control

of your own story.

Believe in yourself like how I have

always believed in you.

[Elise] I am in control of my own story.

I believe in myself.

[Dad] I love you, my dear daughter.

Dad.

Dad

I miss you so much.

I'm losing it.

I can't do this on my own.

I need you right now.

How could you, Dad?

You know that you're the only one

I turn to, and yet you left me.

[breathes deeply]

Dad

maybe...

you can send someone

to take care of me?

Please?

[sighs]

[Ace] Oh, sh*t!

No! Damn it...

What?!

That's my fiance!

That thing?

That balloon is your fiance?

No. I meant that balloon

was for my fiance.

I see

So, you and her are going to spend

your intimate moment here

so it's just okay for you

to ruin my moment?

You're going to have your date here?

- Huh?

- Should I go then?

I can go if that's what you want.

[chuckles]

I wish.

I'm actually here to meet her.

But that will never happen

ever.

She already left me.

She's gone.

Gone?

As in

she's already dead?

[dramatic music playing]

I'm sorry, sir.

That's okay.

It's been two years anyway.

I told myself that I will just

celebrate her birthday.

And then, I'll move on.

This is actually

my fiance's favorite place.

That's why I thought

of celebrating it here.

You?

Are you just getting some fresh air,

or someone close to you also died?

It was actually my dad.

A year ago.

Sorry.

By the way, I'm Ace.

I'm Elise

Sir.

Oh...

Can you please get the lighter for me?

Right here in my left pocket.

There.

Can you please hold this for me?

I'm just going to make

a wish for my fiance.

[dramatic music continues]

Thank you.

Thank you.

Uh

Last favor...

Can you please get the marker pen

over here in my right pocket?

Please?

- Right here?

- Yes.

Thank you.

Please hold this again.

Thank you.

You know what?

You should also write to your dad...

to make you feel better.

- Alright.

- I'll get this.

Get my marker pen, please.

Here. There you go.

Write something.

Go ahead.

Let's do it together?

Game?

Okay.

One, two, three!

Happy birthday, love! I miss you!

Dad, I miss you!

[Ace] By the way,

I'm a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu coach.

If you know someone

who wants a new hobby,

or who wants to learn

a self defense, call me.

[Elise sobbing]

Ms. Guerrero

Are you okay?

[Elise sobbing]

Is there a problem?

You can tell me anything.

Coach, it's nothing.

[sentimental music playing]

Elise

Nothing will ever happen

if you don't help yourself.

I must be really weak.

Excuse me.

[sentimental music continues]

Elise again?

She hasn't been to school

for five months.

She's not even replying

nor giving me a call.

She just suddenly disappeared.

She already dropped out

of school according to Ems.

Maybe she's pregnant.

Or better yet, she has

completely gone insane.

You're being too obvious.

Do you still have feelings for her?

Actually...

there's something else

I feel like doing right now.

[upbeat sexy music playing]

[music fades]

[door opens and closes]

[breathes heavily]

[panting]

[tense music playing]

I am strong.

I am not defined by

what has happened to me.

Please calm down!

Please calm down!

Please calm down, Elise!

[breathes heavily]

I am healing.

You're healing

You're healing

You're healing

You're healing

Slowly but surely.

Slowly but surely.

[door opens]

[sighs]

[Ms. Blessy] Baby girl,

I'm going home early today.

My husband might be mad again.

Ms. Blessy?

Oh, it's nothing.

Oh, it's nothing.

Oh, it's nothing.

Uh...

Actually, my husband and I are adventurous.

So, we did some role playing last night.

I was the punching bag.

[chuckles]

[Elise sighs]

[Ms. Blessy] How can I win

against my husband?

He's a man.

I'm just a woman

I'm weak.

Okay, I have to go now, baby girl.

Bye!

Oh! It hurts.

Did it hurt you?

I really have to go, baby girl.

Bye!

[door opens]

[door closes]

[message alert tone]

[Ace] Emergency session tomorrow, 7pm.

[pensive music playing]

[Ace] I love you, forever and ever!

Love, Diane.

You're consistent.

That's why I experimented.

As usual, lasagna but with a twist.

It's because

Wait for it

Joanna will hire me as the head chef of

the restaurant that she's about to open.

- Really, love?

- Yes!

- [Ace] Congrats, love!

- Thank you!

Finally, you are getting

the break that you deserve.

You know what? All I need is my black belt

and we can already get married.

Actually, I really went here

to bring you your food

because I'm sure that you'll be home

late again because of your training.

You know me, love

aside from training,

I'm also being consumed by

the life stories of my students.

That's my fianc,

always ready to help others.

- I'm so proud of you.

- Thank you.

Go on, try this.

This is the twist.

Okay.

How was it? Does it taste good?

Yes.

But I think

What?

The chef tastes even better.

[Diane laughs]

Well, that's for sure!

[laughing]

But if the chef tastes even better,

then why aren't you eating her?

[sensual music playing]

[sensual music continues]

[music stops]

[Marco] Elise

sh*t.

Elise

Why are you here?

You've been gone for a long time.

I'm just asking Ems about you

because you're not replying.

Elise...

though we may not

have ended up together,

I'm still your friend.

[dramatic music playing]

[Marco] If you need anything,

just message me or call me.

I will come to you wherever

you are, that's a promise.

Thank you.

Sorry, I've got important things to do.

[car engine starts]

[music fades]

You've got the correct schedule.

Consider this a special session.

Come here.

I just wanted to have a

heart-to-heart talk with you.

Coach, there's no need.

Ms. Guerrero...

please sit down.

It won't take long.

I don't usually give my card unless

I'm sure that the person

would come back to me.

I've seen something in them

just like what I saw in you.

It seems like you want to

prove something to yourself

like you want to overcome something.

But every time I give you a chance

to let out what's inside you,

you're holding back.

Why?

- I don't know if it's about your dad or

- Please.

[sighs]

I won't look at you so that

you won't feel embarrassed.

[inhales deeply]

Coach

[sentimental music playing]

Five months ago

I was sexually assaulted.

And I hate myself for that

because I was helpless.

I was also blaming myself back then

for just letting

my father beat me up.

Because he's still my father?

Or I was just scared of him?

While I was hating my father,

I was hating myself even more.

BJJ taught me that I didn't

do anything wrong.

Bad things will always happen.

What I'm going to do about it

is all that truly matters.

Commandment one

Be strong that nothing can disturb

your peace of mind.

That's why I've focused even more

on making myself stronger.

I've focused on learning

how to defend myself.

[sighs]

I left my father after a year.

And then, I never looked back.

I hope

I hope I could also do the same.

I believe in your capabilities.

And I will do my best to help you...

to become a fully-fledged Jiujiteiro.

[sniffles]

Jiuji pardon, sir?

Jiu-Ji-Teiro.

Jiujiteiro.

It's a Portuguese word

meaning addict, or lover of BJJ.

[Ace chuckles]

And please

I know we have

our age difference but

can you please refrain from calling me sir?

Besides, you already know

my personal life story.

So, coach will do.

Okay. Okay, coach.

Better.

[door opens]

Why were you absent

during last period?

I waited for you.

And my mom didn't come

for my presentation.

Where did you go?

Are you even listening?

I said I felt so alone that no one

was there to support me!

I went to Elise's house.

Happy now?

Do you still want her?

Did you just hit on me because...

she rejected you?

Let's just break up if

you're going to be like that!

If you don't want this anymore, then...

Did I say I don't want this anymore?!

If you're going to threaten me, you better

make sure that you can really do it!

Do you understand?!

[upbeat sultry music playing]

Is this what you want?

Is this what you want? Huh?

[upbeat sultry music continues]

Those are some of the ill*gal moves

that you should avoid during a match.

Jump to guard, reaping and slam.

In the future, we're going

to tackle more about that.

Let's have some sparring.

Any volunteer?

Elise Guerrero.

[tense music playing]

Kat Yazon.

[in Portuguese] Fight!

[Ace] Push!

Harder!

[thuds]

[tense music continues]

[in Portuguese] Stop!

[crowd applauding]

Good job, Elise!

Excuse me, sir.

I brought you some food.

Just a little token

of my gratitude, sir.

I mean coach.

Why don't you just join me?

Actually, I've also brought my own food.

[Ace] Let's just share

if that's okay with you.

Oh, okay.

Okay.

Try this.

I'm the one who cooked that.

[pensive music playing]

Eat up.

[Elise chuckles]

Dad

this is Ace, by the way.

He was the one who interrupted

my moment last time.

[Ace chuckles]

You're exaggerating.

And Dad, he's the best BJJ coach

in Metro Manila!

I'm not yet done, okay?

You're too impatient.

I didn't know that you're talkative.

[both chuckle]

You know what? If Diane is still alive,

she would probably like you.

- Really?

- Yeah.

She was friends

with a lot of my students.

I even proposed to her

at the academy.

In fact, my students

helped me out in planning.

[Elise clears throat]

Coach, coach

Stop being so serious.

- Here.

- Cheers!

- Okay. Change topic.

- Okay.

How long did it take you to move up

from white belt to blue belt?

Two years?

So, it would take that long.

Of course, that's how it is because

you're still building your foundation.

You already have one stripe, right?

[Elise chuckles]

Three more to go.

[Elise sighs]

Will I make it?

Dad, what do you think?

[Ace chuckles]

I'll tell you what.

The Twelfth Commandment

Strongly believe that

the world is on your side

as long as you stay loyal

to your best self.

Let's cheers to that!

- Okay

- Hold it!

Say Jiujiteiros!

- Jiujiteiros!

- Jiujiteiros, let's go!

Cheers!

[music fades]

Thank you for taking me home.

Thank you as well for today.

Let me.

[chuckles]

Sorry. I think it got stuck.

It seems like it doesn't want me to leave.

[Ace chuckles]

Oh, wait.

[romantic music playing]

Sorry. Hold on.

[Ace grunts]

- Thank you.

- Sorry.

Your bag.

I got it.

I'll walk you to the gate.

Huh?

No, no.

I can manage.

It's okay.

Okay.

Thank you. Bye!

Bye!

Yes?

Ah!

Your tumbler.

Bye!

[Ms. Blessy] Hey! Baby girl!

Ms. Blessy

I was about to go home but I suddenly

saw someone who parked his car.

I don't know him.

Who is that?

Oh, you. Who's that guy?

Who's that guy?

Come on, spill the tea.

I really should go now but

I wanted to hear your story.

Come on, spill the tea.

You're so gorgeous, you know!

Wait, wait! I'm so excited!

Tell me, who is that guy?

[giggling]

[door opens]

Diane?

[Diane] Love...

Are you going

to replace me now?

[passionate music playing]

Huh?

That will never happen.

Then, prove it.

[passionate music continues]

[message alert tone]

[Elise] Just wanna say

thank you for today

but I think we need

to drink again.

You should go to sleep.

I'll see you in class.

[melancholic music playing]

[Diane] Love

You're the only one that I will love!

Our love is forever.

I love you, Ace!

- I love you so much, Diane.

- I love you!

Oh? Marco?

You enrolled as well?

Yes. You're not replying so I already

made a way to be near you.

I didn't know that you already

have a blue belt.

Yes, but I'm already rusty.

Actually, I took Judo during elementary.

Then, I tried BJJ,

when I was in high school...

but I've neglected it

because of partying.

Marco, I don't want any trouble.

- Imagine if Riza finds out about this

- I'm not doing anything wrong.

I'm just here as a friend. That's it.

[Elise] Coach!

Have you seen the famous diner online?

Do you want to try it later?

Let's go there!

Coach? Hello?

[Elise] Coach?!

I have an appointment later, sorry.

You're such a killjoy!

How about the day after tomorrow?

Are you free?

Let's go there!

No.

I'm really busy.

Go to the mat.

- You too. Go to the mat.

- Yes, coach.

Okay, guys. Let's start.

Let's go! Let's go!

Let's all jog!

It seems like you're not in the mood.

Did you have a fight

with your boyfriend?

What?

Ace is not my boyfriend.

He's avoiding me.

[chuckles]

So

that's the reason why!

Baby girl, that's my expertise!

You may not be aware but all the guys

that I admired before were chasing me! Yes!

[chuckles]

Unfortunately, I ended up with

a lazy man who's also a boxer!

[chuckles]

What now?

- Go on, finish what you're doing.

- Alright.

Okay. Guys, listen up!

The BJJ academies in Metro Manila

will hold exhibition games.

During the day, we're going to

choose three representatives.

Those of you who are eyeing up,

this is your chance.

For this session,

I will spar with you

to test your skills and to gauge

if you're ready to compete.

Now, any volunteer?

Elise!

Up!

[tense music playing]

[music intensifies]

[thuds]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Ace groaning]

ill*gal move!

[music fades]

That's an ill*gal move!

Reaping!

I've just discussed

about that last session!

But still you did it!

Coach, I didn't!

I've been doing this for 14 years now.

I know an ill*gal move

when I see one.

Elise

It's too obvious that what you did

earlier was not a violation at all.

I'm sure you'll be in.

You know what?

If only you could see yourself earlier

You're making me

fall for you even more.

Marco, stop it.

Come on.

I just can't help myself.

You know very well that ever since

I'm already madly in love with you.

Please cheer up.

Come on. Smile.

Guys, listen up!

I have an announcement.

After a long deliberation,

we have already chosen the three

representatives for the exhibition games.

Jhun Mark Calapardo!

[crowd applauding]

Kat Yazon!

[crowd applauding]

And last but not the least

- Jaymar Castro.

- Yes!

[crowd applauding]

Congrats, guys!

After our session later, you may get

the training schedules from me.

Coach!

May I know what was

the basis of your decision?

Your move earlier was ill*gal.

Coach, that was not reaping!

I'm sorry. You're not yet ready.

Coach, I'm ready!

I think you're the one who's not!

[Marco] Are you not listening?

I don't want you anymore!

Let's break up!

You jerk!

Right after banging me,

you're going to break up with me?

I want Elise!

That b*tch!

What does she have that I don't?

What do you want?

Someone who's acting like a virgin?

But in truth, she's such a sl*t!

[Marco] sl*t, huh?

sl*t?!

- Don't you dare insult Elise!

- Get your hands off me!

Do you understand?

Get your hands off me!

Get your hands off me!

[Riza panting]

Hi!

Hey, Jaymar! I haven't

congratulated you yet.

Thank you.

But the problem is, we've got some

family matters back in our province.

Do you want me to ask coach

to just give you the slot?

What do you think?

For sure, you can do it!

Hey! Hey!

Riza?

Do all these people here already

know that you're such a sl*t?

You're just pretending to be decent

to be able to steal a guy!

Marco broke up with me!

You're such a boyfriend grabber!

I already know your ulterior motive!

Dumbass!

What are you talking about?

I don't know why Marco broke up with you.

You're such a liar!

Come on! Show me

how strong you are!

Did Marco do to you

the things he did to me?

Does he also make your eyes shut

with so much pleasure?

How dare you!

You know what?

I won't stoop down to your level!

And I will only say this once

I have never and I will never

steal Marco from you.

We're both women and there are so

many things that we can fight about.

But I just hope it won't be

because of a man!

You're just saying that now!

[Elise] Whatever!

You b*tch!

You sl*t!

[Ace] What is the meaning of this?!

[Ace] Miss...

We're serious with our training here.

You have to respect our place.

Please leave.

We're not yet done.

What are you waiting for?

Partner up!

Let's have some sparring.

Let's go!

Coach

Jaymar said that they've got some

family matters in the province.

- I was thinking

- Don't worry.

He already informed me about it earlier.

And we've already picked

who would take his place.

Let me take his place, Ace.

Ms. Guerrero, the representative

that we wanted for the games...

is someone who will not put

the academy in a bad light.

[scoffs]

Thank you for that judgement!

Maybe you're just making excuses

not to choose me.

We can't afford that someone will

suddenly attack you in the games!

You should tell your boyfriend,

Marco, not to be a two-timer!

- Marco and I are not together!

- [Ace scoffs]

Wait

Are you jealous?

Excuse me?!

[Ace] You're just my student

nothing more.

If that's what you want, fine!

But don't hinder me in

joining the exhibition games!

Are you saying that I'm unprofessional?

You said it, not me.

Prove to me that you're not!

Let's spar!

And if my skills don't meet your standards,

then I will accept your decision!

[scoffs]

[suspenseful music playing]

[groans]

[both groaning]

[Elise grunts]

[thuds]

[Elise grunting]

[seductive music playing]

[Ms. Blessy] Please stop, babe! Stop it!

[screaming]

Please stop, babe!

[screaming]

[Elise] Ms. Blessy!

Stop it! Please stop, babe!

[sobbing]

[Husband] Who the hell are you?!

- [Husband] Stay out of this!

- [Ms. Blessy] Baby girl!

- [Ms. Blessy] Baby girl!

- [Husband] I told you to stay out of this!

Baby girl!

[Husband screaming]

- [Ms. Blessy] Baby girl Baby girl

- [Husband groaning]

[Ms. Blessy] Baby girl, that's enough!

- [Ms. Blessy] Baby girl, that's enough!

- [Husband] Tell her to stop!

- [Ms. Blessy] Babe... Babe...

- [Husband] Babe! Stop it! I yield!

[Ms. Blessy] That's enough, Baby girl.

[Ms. Blessy sobbing]

[Elise] Ms. Blessy will never

come home again!

Don't you dare bother her again,

or else we will report you!

- [Ms. Blessy sobbing]

- Come on! Look at you!

[Ms. Blessy] Baby girl, thank you.

But you didn't have to do that.

I can handle myself.

There's always a way

to fight back!

And always keep this in mind,

you don't deserve a man

who's just going to hurt you!

[Ms. Blessy sobbing]

But Ms. Blessy, I have

a favor to ask you.

Say no more, baby girl!

Let's get out of here!

[door opens]

[Elise] Surprise!

[Ace] Come in! Come in!

Please come in.

[door closes]

Sorry, I wasn't able to clean up.

I didn't know that you were coming.

Oh! What are those?

You've brought a lot.

Food.

Wow!

Did you have a feast?

[Elise chuckles]

Actually, Ms. Blessy and I were

in the mood to cook.

But she just assisted me.

I was really the main cook.

Wow!

Thank you!

[motorcycle engine running]

[engine stops]

Hello?

Anybody home?

Good evening!

There are no solicitations allowed here.

No. I'm actually Elise's blockmate.

Is she home right now?

Oh! Elise? No, she went out.

She's with her boyfriend.

Boyfriend?

Yes! The handsome coach!

In fact, she's giggling so much when

Excuse me. For whom is that?

Are you going to give that to your mother?

Are you going to church?

No. Do you know what time

she will be home?

Oh!

Maybe she'll be home by tomorrow

because they are still going to eat.

We have cooked a lot!

Oh, hold on. I almost forgot,

I'm cooking a dessert!

Oh, my goodness! It's already burnt!

I think you should leave.

Oh, no! My dessert!

Was she the one

who decorated your unit?

[Ace sighs]

Yes. In fact, she even

chose this bed.

[Ace] I'm sorry, I haven't replaced it yet.

I still have no time for that.

I understand.

She was a big part of your past.

What matters is

who is truly in your heart...

right now.

Isn't it obvious?

Do you hear your name?

Ace

Thank you.

Months ago, all I wanted is to

forget the trauma for me to be okay.

But I am more than that now.

I became brave

because of you.

I was able to rise again

because of you.

Thank you so much, Ace.

I never expected that someone

like you will come into my life.

Now, I'm excited for my future

because of you.

[sensual music playing]

[sensual music continues]

[Elise] I love you, Ace.

[music fades]

[Ace] I just really hope

that I'm ready now.

[emotional music playing]

Good morning!

Oops!

Good morning!

Good morning!

How was your sleep?

It was okay. It was very nice.

Good!

We should get ready for our class.

[Ace] Do you want some breakfast?

- Are you going to cook?

- Of course!

How sweet!

Sure.

- Wait for me here.

- Okay.

[Ace] You want egg?

[chuckles]

Whatever you have in your fridge.

[Ace] Okay.

[door opens and closes]

[emotional music continues]

[music stops]

[Ace] Diane, there were women before you

but there was no one else like you.

I met you when I was struggling

to learn my sport.

My life was still

full of anger back then.

And I never thought that I could

still love another person.

But you came.

[Ace] You carried me through

and made me whole.

And I want to spend the rest of my life

trying to give back

the love you've given me.

Love

Will you marry me?

Yes!

- Yes?

- Yes!

Oh, my god!

- Yes!

- Yes?

Oh, my god!

We're engaged!

Love, you're the only one

that I will love.

Our love is forever!

[Diane] I love you, Ace!

- I love you so much, Diane!

- I love you!

[crowd cheering and applauding]

We're engaged! We're engaged!

[Diane] Love...

- [Ace] I love you!

- [Diane] I love you!

[door opens]

[door slams]

[sentimental music playing]

You know what?

Everywhere I look,

she's always there.

Whatever I hold,

there's always a memory of her.

Every chance you get,

you can't stop talking about her.

Ace, tell me, is this a preview of the kind

of relationship that we're about to have?

As what you've said

- she is a big part of me.

- Was!

Ace, she's gone.

She's already in the past.

You're the only one who keeps

on bringing her back.

I'm really trying to move on.

Please give me time.

How long?

Six months?

One year?

- Two years?

- Elise, it's not that easy.

It's not easy for me to forget

about her just like that.

Okay.

So, I just have to live with the fact

that I'm just sharing with her

while you and I are together.

It's not like that!

Elise, I love you.

I've already fallen in love with you.

Can you be honest with me?

Do you still love her?

[sniffles]

At least it's all clear to me now.

Wait, Elise...

Elise

- [door opens]

- [Ace] Elise, wait!

[door slams]

[dramatic music playing]

[dramatic music continues]

[door closes]

[phone ringing]

[Marco] You're sulking again at home?

Come over to my place tomorrow! Please?

Elise

Please come in.

[door closes]

[seductive music playing]

I'm willing to do everything

just to make you happy.

[seductive music continues]

[music stops]

Good morning!

Just stay in bed.

I'll prepare some breakfast downstairs.

[suspenseful music playing]

[suspenseful music intensifies]

[ominous music playing]

[breathes heavily]

[tense music playing]

[panting]

[tense music intensifies]

[upbeat music playing]

Oh, right on time.

Breakfast is ready!

[thuds]

You want eggs with bacon?

[dishes clattering]

- Have a seat.

- Tell me the truth.

Pictures and my old belts.

I don't use them anymore.

Who are those women?

And why do you also

have a photo of me?

My exes. And you...

Elise, you know very well that I've been

head over heels about you ever since.

You must be hungry.

You should eat.

This is just a medicine for headache.

Come on, let's have our breakfast.

Show me. Take that medicine.

I said take it!

[suspenseful music playing]

Okay. I didn't mean that.

I just got carried away.

[panting]

I'm sorry, Elise.

[panting]

So, I should forgive you because

you just got carried away?

Elise

Please

It's already in the past.

What really matters is now

that we're together now.

Elise, I love you.

We can still fix this, right?

- Don't touch me!

- Elise, I love you.

[Elise sobbing]

Marco, my world turned upside down!

Do you know that?

It took me months before

I was able to go out of the house!

Every night I was having nightmares!

And that is because of you!

All those nightmares were always

about what you've done to me!

Then now, you want me to just

forget about everything?

You know what?

I went here because

I thought you're a decent man.

You've promised me that you're my friend,

that you love me.

But you're actually not!

You're a monster!

[Elise sobbing]

Elise

[Elise screaming]

[Elise screaming]

[Marco groans]

[Elise grunts]

[Elise screams]

- Babe!

- Babe, help me!

Elise just suddenly attacked me!

[Marco groans]

- Babe!

- Riza

You have to listen to me!

He's been playing us all along!

- [Marco] Call the cops!

- [Marco groaning]

[Riza panting]

[Marco groaning]

[Riza] Hello? Hello? Police Department?

We have an emergency! Yes!

[Marco groaning]

Yes! We need your help immediately!

[music fades]

[Ace grunts]

[Ace grunts]

Elise

I've been trying to call you for weeks.

I'm here to thank you.

Ace

thank you for being my rock.

Thank you for directing me

to the right path.

I've accepted the fact that...

I'm still young to just wait for you when

you'll be able to love me completely.

[emotional music playing]

Hey

It's okay.

[Ace sniffles]

[Elise] Don't be sad for me.

[Elise sighs]

[Ace sniffles]

All my life I've been longing for people

whom I can count on

and who will support me.

[sighs]

I grew up thinking that I needed

somebody else to take care of me.

In fact, that's what other people

are also telling me

that I can't actually make it

on my own.

But I realized

I can actually do it on my own.

[OST Playing: Prinsesa

by PPOP Generation]

[Elise] Though you may have

not loved me completely,

at least you have set me free.

[Elise] I am brave now...

because of me.

I am able to rise again...

because of me.

This is me now

because of me!

I am strong.

I am not defined by

what has happened.

I am enough.

I am worthy of love

and respect.

I will get my power back

and I will win!

I am in control

of my own story because...

I believe in myself!
