01x02 - What Goes Around Comes Around

[bunniefuu]

[Nato humming]

[Nato coughing violently]

[guard] Your only hopes
of getting a room

rests on someone
getting discharged,

or if someone dies!

[respirator alarm beeping]

[Aldo whimpers]

[Nato] And you'll
rest my remains

right next to the
grave of my beloved wife.

That's where I ought
to end up.

[Stacey] Yeah, whatever.
I promise.

That's if you die.

[indistinct CPR noise]

[indistinct CPR noise]

[indistinct CPR noise]

[indistinct CPR noise]

-Wait, he's my father.
-Nurse, escort her out.

-Nurse. Wait.
-I'm real sorry, miss.

-Nurse!
-We're really really sorry.

[Stacey shouts] Dad!

What cremation? Nobody told
me about this.

It's only protocol, ma'am.

[siren blaring]

[indistinct chatter]

[man] God damn you,
Stacey.

[quavering] God damn you...

[shouts] God damn you, Stacey!

All this will come
back to haunt you!

[hysterical panting]

[police officer] So, who
was behind the wheel?

[eerie music]

Is he dead?

[eerie music]

[Nato] Thanks, boss.

[Nato sighs]

[Nato grunts]

[exaggerated sigh]

[clicks tongue]

We need to, uh...

See the mayor.

Offer our thanks.

If it wasn't for him...

[Nato sighs]

you'd be spending your
best years behind bars.

[Nato sighs]

For the meantime, you'll be
staying with us, okay?

Your studies...

will have to wait.

Or maybe you can continue
your studies someplace else.

What do you think?

Is mom angry with me?

I'm sure she'll be glad
to have you back.

Health wise, she hasn't really
been doing good lately.

There's nothing wrong...

with what you did.

He disrespected your friend.

And I hear he's also done this
before to other women.

Serves him right.

Sometimes...

when push comes to shove...

we sometimes end up doing...

awful things

to protect...

the people we love.

EPISODE 2
"WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND"

[heavy breathing]

UNKNOWN: 500,000 CASH.

UNKNOWN: IF YOU FAIL
TO DELIVER THE CASH

UNKNOWN: I TELL THE COPS ABOUT
WHAT YOU DID TO ALDO PEREZ.

[Jairus] Hey, Stacey!
How's uncle Nato?

Stacey!

Stacey?

Stacey! Hey!

What are you looking for?

Stacey, how's uncle Nato?

Stacey?

Where's uncle Nato?

[shouts] Stacey!

Where's uncle Nato?

[gloomy music]

[gloomy music continues]

You know, we could have just
gone to a different hospital.

Why'd you have to go
and m*rder a guy?

I don't know!

All I thought about
was saving dad's life.

God damn, Stacey.

I was wrong.
I'm well aware of that.

I was planning to turn myself in
right after I bury him.

[Jairus sighs]

You know, if it
wasn't for your dad,

I would have been dead by now...

[pensive music]

or a junkie.

Like my parents.

[pensive music]

He was always saying that he
wanted to have two kids.

But mom's health
just wasn't up for it.

He was so happy the
day he took you in.

[pensive ambient]

[Jairus sighs]

He left me the auto shop's
bank account.

It probably has around
fifty-thousand in it.

I can take that out but
we'd still be short.

I'll go look inside and see if
there's anything worth selling.

[pensive music]

We can also maybe go to
Mayor Kalaw for help?

Ex-Mayor.

He's not gonna give us sh*t

after what happened
between him and dad.

The b*stard didn't even help
with the hospital bills.

What about uncle Caloy?

Stacey,

our godfather's here.

[Caloy] Hey, Stacey!
How's it going?

You want a drink?

Anything will do.
It's up to you.

Alright then.

[Caloy] So...
what's up with you?

Nothing much.

What's with the sullen look?

It's your birthday! You're
supposed to be happy.

I'm doing okay.

Is it because your friends
didn't come over?

They were here a while ago.

Let me guess...

Is it because the gifts
they gave you are...

Barbie dolls, a kitchen playset,
and a teddy bear.

[Caloy chuckles]

I guess they don't know
you too well.

They're not like me.

I know what you want.
Hold on.

I got a good one for you.

Here.

Here.

Look here.

See? Cool right?

Dad's dream car?

-It sure is!
-A Dodge Charger?

Whoa, you sure know
your cars, huh?

I got another one.

Take a look at this.

A Porsche.

What kind of Porsche?

A Porsche 911.

Wow! My goddaughter sure is
amazing.

You'll have to
excuse me though.

For not wrapping them up.

It's alright, uncle.

I'm just going to tear the
wrapper up anyways.

Thank you, uncle Caloy.

You're such a great kid!

Here. I got one more for you.

I almost forgot about this one.

Take a look at this.
What's that?

-Tell me.
-Wander...

Wanderer Roadster.

Wow! What an amazing
kid you are.

Don't be shy they're all yours.
Okay?

Hey, Caloy.

You stay put.

I'll just go and
have a word with your old man.

[Nato] Bro...

Here.

-Thanks
-Where'd you got all of those?

Well...

from Matteo's room.

You slick b*stard.

Oh come on. He's not going to
notice they're missing.

That kid already has so many
toys to play with.

He won't notice a thing.

And what if he notices that
they're gone?

You're going to be in
trouble if the mayor

finds out you've been
stealing from his kid.

Oh come on, I'm not the only
thief in town.

He's the biggest thief out here.

What?

-Give me a break.
-You have a point.

Stolen toys as a birthday gift
for my kid.

What's wrong? She loves
those things.

She won't take her eyes off 'em.

He's not picking up.

Where the hell has he
been staying at anyways?

Here and there,
from what I've heard.

Uncle Nato used to say he had
a lot of people looking for him.

You sure about not trying
to ask Mayor Kalaw for help?

Let's go then.

Stacey.

I'm helping you for
uncle Nato's sake.

What you did was so wrong.

[ominous music fades in]

[Jairus] Let's go.

[eerie ambient]

[goon] Sir, still no word on
that job.

[goon] They're still looking
for the kid.

Kalaw's patience is
wearing thin.

Where the hell have
you guys been looking?

-[goon] Over here.
-[indistinct background chatter]

[eerie ambient]

[goon] We've scoured every inch
of San Isidro

but we couldn't find the guy.

We'll double back
and search again.

Give us until tomorrow, boss.

[Jairus] That's the guy he
got to replace uncle Nato.

He's the mayor's
new righthand man.

A relative of some
friend of his.

Nato was once the most reliable
man on my payroll.

But when he got older..

he got soft.

His stomach couldn't handle...

the demands of the job.

His hiccups...

these past few months...

cost me the elections.

[scoffs]

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.

What happened wasn't
entirely his fault.

Like you said, he just got old.

All I'm asking for
is a little help.

You've never been shy
about helping others.

[mockingly] Helping people?

[menacing laugh]

[sarcastic] Of course, why not?

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

What reason would I have
to turn you down?

If it wasn't for that craven
of a father of yours,

someone else is
sitting on my seat.

Why don't you go
and ask them for help?

I'm no longer in
a position to help.

Understand, girl?

[eerie ambient]

Thank you for your time.

-Jimboy,
-Sir?

escort these two outside.

Use the back entrance, hear me?

And you two...

don't even think
about coming back here.

[goon] Let's go.

[goon] Hurry up!

Alright, you guys go on ahead.
Pass through there.

It's a straightforward exit.

[Jairus] Alright, mister.

[goon] Hey you! Inside!

Don't worry about it.
We'll think of something else.

[Jairus] Being a crook's a
pretty nice way to live, no?

You just go and
ball out on cars.

If I was a crook
I'd get me one of these.

-Jairus
-What?

-Whoa!
-You're driving our car.

Hey! Hey! Wait a sec!
What are you doing?

-Go ahead. I'll be right behind.
-What are you thinking?

Are you crazy?

Are you going to steal this car?

Stace-

[tense ambient]

Hurry up!

[Jairus] Seriously?

[tense music]

[sighs]

[goon] Hey! What are you doing?

Stop the car!

Pull over, now!

Hey!

[men shouting]

[goon] Stop!

[men shouting]

[tires screeching]

Go on.
Leave them to me.

[Jairus] Hurry!

[goon] Hey!

[goon shrieks in panic]

[tense music]

[men shouting]

[men shouting]

[tense music fades]

Whoa, take it easy.

Thank you.

How'd you know
they were on to me?

I was waiting for you.

[pensive music]

I couldn't just leave
you behind like that.

So, what now?

You remember Mr. Tan?

That guy who always hired dad
to restore vintage cars?

He doesn't give a sh*t where
the cars came from.

As long as it's
fit for his collection.

[eerie music]

[Jairus] Thank you, sir.

[Stacey] Thanks a lot.

[Mr. Tan] Pleasure doing
business with you.

[Jairus] That one's
as good as new.

[engine starts]

Thanks a lot!
This is a sweet ride.

[eerie ambient]

He sure was happy.

So happy that he
agreed to pay in cash.

[phone vibrates]

I GOT THE MONEY WITH ME.

UNKNOWN: G52C+94, NATIONAL ROAD,
SAN ISIDRO, 1940

We taking the money there?

Let's go.

[pensive music]

I think this is the place.

What's the plan?

You stay here.
Keep an eye out.

In case we get
duped by this guy.

What if I just go
in there with you?

It might be good to have backup
in there if things go south.

If he doesn't hold up his
end of the deal,

it'll be better if
one of us gets out.

In case anything
bad happens to me.

You understand, right.

If things go sideways in there,

just call out and I'll be
there right away.

Alright.

[Jairus] Keep your guard up.

[ominous music fades in]

[ominous music]

[Nato groans]

You look familiar.

Um...

Mmm...

Jason?

It's Jairus.

Oh.

Do you live around here?

How'd you end up here?

Don't you know that...

Enteng and his lot
are bad people?

Hm?

Where are your parents?

They're long gone.

They just left me here.

My mom is friends with
Mister Enteng.

Have you ever driven a car
before, Jairus?

Huh?

Do you want to?

Come.

Come here.

Uh...

Sit here.

[engine starts]

Good.
That's how you start the engine.

Just keep your cool.

Take it easy.

Think of it as a go-kart

Now, look here.
See?

Brake.

Gas.

Shifter.

It's important to remember them.
Okay?

The number one
rule in driving is...

You should always be alert.

Okay?

Your feet should always be
ready to step on the brakes.

Now, look here.

I'm going to pull the
handbrake down.

We're going to start to move
so don't panic.

Just keep your feet steady and
ready to step on the brakes.

Okay?

Alright.

Keep your cool.

Keep your hands on
the steering wheel.

Don't panic and we'll be
just fine.

Slowly now.
Turn left.

Left.

Good.

Then right.

See? You're driving.

[Nato chuckles]

Great.

Keep her steady.

See?
You did good.

[clears throat]

You come and stay at our
place just for tonight.

Um... We're just..

sorting things out with Enteng.

Tomorrow we can resume
your driving lessons.

Just promise

to remember the number one rule.

To always be alert?

What?

You should always be alert.

You got it.

[sighs]

What's taking her so long.

[Jairus] "You should
always be alert."

[sighs]

[ominous music]

[ominous music continues]

[cellphone vibrates]

[cellphone vibrates]

Hello?

Put the money down right there.

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

[call drops]

Son of a bi-

Where's my dad? Show yourself
you son of a b*tch!

[eerie ambient]

[man groaning]

[eerie ambient]

[faint voice] Who's there?

[man coughing]

Help!

[cellphone vibrates]

[man] Help me!

UNKNOWN: k*ll HIM.

[sinister ambient]

You b*stard!

[tense music]

Hey! Come back here!

Hey!

Hey!

[Jairus groans]

[Jairus grunts in pain]

You son of a b*tch!

f*ck you, you son of a b*tch!

[tense music]

Help.

Help, please.

[sinister ambient]

[man groaning]

Sorry. I'm real sorry.

[man] Stacey?

Is that you?

[Jairus shouting] Who the
hell are you!

[tense music]

[Jairus shouts in defiance]

[Jairus screams in pain]

[man groans]

Stacey?

Uncle!

-Uncle, who did this to you?
-Get out of here, Stacey.

-I'm taking you with me.
-I can't see a thing!

[Stacey] Uncl-

[Stacey and Caloy panting]

[Stacey] Whoa!

[Caloy coughing]

Uncle.

[pensive music]

Just a few more steps.

We're almost there.

Give a minute, okay?

[shouts] Jairus!

Stay put. I have to go
look for Jairus.

[shouts] Jairus!

Jairus!

Jairus!

Jairus!

[pensive music]

[pensive music]

[grim music]

[goon] Ben?
Hey, Ben!

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.

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

-Your tha-
-[Stacey] Inside!

You're Nato's kid, right?

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

[Nato] I never harmed
their families!

This is all on you!

[Stacey grunts]
