01x12 - Breaking Point

[bunniefuu]

Here it is!

- Give it to me.
- There it is.

Why is there no signal?

We’re out of time.

If they can’t take pictures of the exams,

I’ll do it myself and find a way.

Looks like something was forgotten.

Out of all things,
you forget the breaker?

You have to stall another 20 minutes.

I’ll find the questionnaires
and that’s what we’ll pull out.

What now, Pat?

I’m done.

Just give me the go signal.

One sec, Kuya Jerry.

Bank’s not back yet.

We have to wait.

Turn it on!

Power’s back on.

But they aren't out yet.

It's my first day as a trainee.

So I felt pressured.

I got anxious.

What happened to you?

We got blocked by the guard.

The phone was f*cking
on me the whole time!

it was in my pocket but I
thought, I thought he saw it!

Yes!

Don't bother me, let's go!

Okay, got it.

Okay.

Bro, I still don't get it.

The guard felt the phone in my pocket

but he still let me go.

How did that happen?

Bank,

did you do something
that wasn't part of our plan?

Nothing.

Bank,

I saw you and the guard exchange looks.

Is that true?

Do you know the guard, Bank?

Yes already!

I paid the guard so he would let me in

and I paid him big so
he would let us out too.

That was plan B.

Guys, there's something
wrong with the answers.

Don't look at me like that.

Because if I didn’t do that,
we would’ve been caught.

Lin, listen.

Guys.

Guys!

There is something wrong with the answers.

Okay, look.

We are missing one, two, three,

six more items.

Right, this should be thirty items.

Bank.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

I remembered it.

B.

Okay, B.

D.

D.

C.

A.

A.

B.

C.

Bank?

That's seven letters!

We’re missing six!

Then just remove one if it’s extra!

What do you mean remove one?!

Bank, you think you're smart, huh?

Okay then.

You memorized the whole thing, right?

Enumerate everything again!

We’ll just double-check!

Don’t you trust me?

This isn’t about trust!

You’ve done things
we didn’t know about!

Didn’t you think?

How would we know if you’re still
hiding something from us, Bank?!

How?!

So come on, please!

Come on!

Let’s just double-check the
answers you remembered!

You’re the only one who
saw the questionnaire, Bank.

Only you!

D.

B.

B.

C.

A.

A.

B.

C.

Oh, Bank!

Did you really memorize it?!

Huh?!

Did you memorize it?!

The first answer is already wrong!

Bro, think harder!

Concentrate, Bank!

Forget it!

We’re just fooling ourselves!

Bank has photographic memory.

If he can’t recite the answers,

maybe he didn’t really answer at all.

- Bank?
- Okay!

There's too many!

I ran out of time to
answer the exam.

So I just made
up all the answers.

- Are you f*cking serious, Bank?
- Bank?

No, no, no, no, no.

Holy sh*t!

Why did you lie to us, Bank?!

Why?

Huh?

Look.

Okay.

Let’s call Miss Maya
while it’s still early

tell her we didn’t get the
questionnaire and all will be well.

- We'll return the money and...
- Return what?!

Don’t do that!

Lin!

All our hard work
will go to waste.

Think of this.

We’re in a win-win
situation here.

- We’ll give them the answers.
- What the?!

We’ll get our money.

Done!

You’ll give out random answers?!

Huh?

We already cheated on the exam!

Now, we're gonna
scam our clients too?!

Lin!

What’s that?

Listen to me.

They’re already rich.

Fifty thousand Pesos is just
a loose change to them.

Think of how we’ll
get our money back?

Okay.

Alright, Bank.

But maybe you didn’t think
about the future of the 800 students

who are relying on us!

How?

Huh?

They’ll fail!

Then let them fail, Lin!

They wanted to cheat, right?

They should accept the fact
that they'll be cheated too.

What happened to you?

Huh?

Since when have
you been like this?

Been what?

Become a bad person?

Unlike you, Lin,
you won’t lose anything.

Whatever the result is,
you can still study abroad,

both of you!

You can also study abroad!

Right?

Bank!

That has nothing
to do with this!

What do you mean nothing, Lin?!

Think about it!

If you have no money, if
you can’t study anymore,

if you have no future,

if all of this, you’re just holding
onto a knife’s edge, think about it.

Let’s think about
this, let’s think—

Will you think of other people?

Or will I just think of myself?

Holy sh*t, wait.

Let's not all act clean here.

We all need money.

Maybe I need it more
than you guys.

But my plan already failed.

My plan failed and I don't want everything
I built for three months to go to waste.

Everything I worked hard
for us to be here.

I don’t want it to be ruined.

Wait.

You said,

you worked hard
to bring us together?

You know after graduation,
Grace and I are going to Boston?

You’re taking so long.

Sorry, boss.

We almost got into an accident.

I didn’t mean it.

Yes, I paid them to
mess up your shop.

But I didn’t tell them
to hurt your mom.

I just want you to help us.

Well, it already
happened, right?

But she’s fine!

You already got your 500k.

If you want, I'll give
you half of my share.

Idiot!

Not everything can
be solved with money!

- Bank.
- Bank, we’re desperate.

If all this didn’t happen,
you wouldn’t have said yes.

Just remember,
Pat. I’m telling you.

I'll give all this back to you.

Were you the one who
leaked the STIC?

Huh?

Come on, Tristan.

It’s over.

There’s nothing
we can do anymore.

Sorry, Mom.

I just wanted you
to proceed with the surgery.

Tristan.

Maybe not this way.

All your hard work was wasted.

Such a waste.

No, Mom.

I’ll make it up.

I’ll still give you a good life.

No matter what happens.

Let's go.

Your father tells me that you
almost got a perfect score at the STIC.

So do you have any advice,
to inspire other students?

I guess you just
gotta put in the work

and do whatever it
takes to make it to the top.

You must be very proud of Pat.

Oh, yeah.

Very, very proud.

The STIC results are in.

Yup.

She’s in the top percentile.

Ah, Grace.

We’re very proud of you.

All of us. Hmm.

Good job, Grace.

Okay?

Keep it up.

Thanks, Dad.

It was nothing.

Really.

This can’t be.

They all got what
they want except me.

It was declared
by the universities

that all STIC results coming from
this round are automatically invalid.

The Education Commission
continues to investigate

the cheating scandal
and those involved in it.

Huh, Bank?!

- Were you the one who snitched?
- Yes! Yes!

Yes, Pat!

I’m the one responsible
for all of that.

But what's the difference between
what I did and what you did to me?

Huh?

- You b*stard, Bank! Huh!
- Stop! Enough!

- Huh?!
- Let go of me!

- Enough!
- What?!

Do you understand now, Pat?

Now you know the feeling of
having no other option but to cheat.

Huh?

You know what, Pat?

You’re already free from your father.

And me,

money is the replacement for
everything that was taken from me.

You needed me at
the STIC back then.

And I need you here
at the NCET, Pat.

That’s why you have no
other choice but to go with me

until the end just like how
I went with you back then, right?

What?

Who else wants to continue this?

Let’s vote!

Bank!

Bank!

No!

No!

Grace!

What?

So, Pat?

Whatever Pat says.

You’re embarrassing!

You were even
arrogant in the interview!

My god!

I gave you everything you
needed, all your luxuries

I indulged you and this
is what I get in return?

Dad, I'm trying my best.

But honestly, I don’t
want to go to BU.

I’m already struggling
with your expectations.

I could...

I could never be like you.

No.

But you are a Tioseco.

And you will graduate
from Boston University.

You will retake the
STIC and get,

by studying, the high
marks that you got before.

Or else...

Or else you’ll do what, Dad?

No matter what I do, I
am never enough for you.

You silly, stupid boy.

You are nothing without me.

Everything you
have came from me,

don’t you ever forget that.

Well, I’m done
living off with you.

I can do it on my own.

Cut me off, throw me off.

I don’t care anymore.

Well, neither do I.

See if you can
survive without me.

Go ahead.

Go ahead and fail!

Grace, print the answers.

Pat!

Lin, I don’t want to
go back to my dad.

So we’re going to continue this.

Hon.

Print it now, quick!

Sis,

Sis!

I'm sorry, Lin.

Yup.

I have to stand by Pat.

- Okay, Grace.
- Okay.

If that's your final decision,

I have nothing to do with this.

I get it.

I get it.

Okay, Grace.

Just remove one
letter then print it.

Go ahead.

Lin.

Just play along.

You won’t lose anything.

Just turn a
blind eye to this, Lin.

Let's go, Grace.

Okay, I'll go.

- I'll print now.
- Come on, let's print it.

Lin!

Where have you been?

Why are you only coming home now?

I'm so sorry, Dad.

I'm so sorry.

I'll tell you everything.

But I hope...

I hope to ask
something from you.

What is it?

I hope you’ll come with me to
the Educational Commission.

They need to know
something important.

Okay.

I'm sorry, Dad.

I hope you won’t be mad.

I'm sorry, Dad.

It's okay.

- I'm so sorry.
- It's okay.

I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to.

It's okay.

Lin.

It's okay.

I'm sorry, Dad.

Chaos ensued at several
testing sites this morning

when a sudden halt

to the National College Entrance
Test was ordered,

due to the revelation of a
leakage in the test questions.

According to the
Education Commission,

a 17-year-old student

let’s hide under the name
Angel, voluntarily reported

that she and
three of her friends

attempted to steal the
NCET questionnaire

and sell it to some
clients for 50,000 pesos.

What?

This can't be happening.

What do we do, Grace?

We should've
just listened to Lin.

We should've just stopped
and returned the money.

Cops.

Wait.

We don't know yet.

We'll just deny everything.

I'll do the talking, okay?

Dad?

How did you find me?

That's really not important.

I need to have a
word with my son.

You’d better just
go home, Grace.

The driver will take you.

No.

Grace stays here.

Tell me what you want
to say in front of her.

Alright.

I've made all the arrangements.

You're going to the US.

You'll study there.

And we have to leave now.

Your flight's in four hours.

And as for this scandal,

I'll take care of it

like I always do whenever
you mess around.

What?

And we have no time to
dwell on your stupid mistakes.

No.

What about Grace?

It’s better if you break up.

What?

Grace and I can’t break up, Dad.

And what?

You're going to
stay here with her

and when you’re jailed, you
think you’ll be together in one cell?

Jesus.

Dad, please.

I'm begging you.

Please help Grace too.

We'll be together.

I'll do anything.

I won’t rebel anymore.

Please, Dad.

A federal lawyer.

A good one.

But you can’t be
together anymore.

Aside from her
father not allowing it,

all you do is bring
trouble and problems.

You never learned
from what you did.

You wanna help her?

Just obey.

I'll wait for you in the car.

Hon.

I'm sorry.

I don't wanna leave you.

I'm gonna miss you.

It's okay, Hon.

You know, maybe
your dad is right.

We'll just call and
I'll video chat you.

And maybe if my dad lets
me, I'll just visit you there.

I love you so much.

I love you.

Good bye.

That's him.

- That's him, alright.
- There.

Tristan Bangkat.

We have a warrant
of arrest for you.

Uh, what is this?

Why?

Your son has a case.

Case?

Huh?

Tristan, you have the
right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will
be used for or against you in court.

You also have the right
to get your own lawyer.

- And if you can’t afford one,
- Wait a moment.

- the government will provide one.
- Please wait.

- Do you understand your rights?
- Please wait.

Please wait.

Hold on a second.

- What did you do?
- Sorry, Mom.

Sorry, Mom.

Don't worry, Tristan.

Tristan, I’ll get a good lawyer.

I won’t abandon you.

Remember that.

I’m right here.

Come on now, come with us.

- Please wait.
- Mom, don’t leave me.

Come now, come with us.

Come now, come on!

- Mom!
- Wait! Wait!

Mom!

Mom, no! Come with me!

Mom!

- Mom!
- Come now!

All test scores will be voided

and a new round of the NCET
will be conducted next month.

Two more have been arrested

for cheating in the NCET exams.

A former professor,
identified as Maya Salinas

was the clients' contact in
the cheating scandal.

Her license will be revoked and
her tutorial center will be shut down.

An investigation
was also conducted

among the employees
working at DL Printing

because of the
NCET exam scandal.

It was also decided in the
fiscal’s preliminary investigation

that alias "Angel" and alias "Baby"

will both be acquitted due
to lack of intent in their cases

and also because of their
clean criminal records.

I'm sorry this happened to you.

I should've apologized too.

You know,

I should've just
listened to you.

I shouldn't have
printed those answers

and I should've just
stopped it right there.

It's okay.

You know,

when the cops came,

I thought I was
going to be scared.

But honestly, for some reason,

I felt like a weight had
been lifted off of my chest.

I don't have to lie anymore.

I don't have to pretend anymore.

Thank you, Attorney.

Grace.

Didn’t I tell you

to stay away from her?

Sis.

Let’s go.

Attorney.

I’ll always visit you.

The alleged mastermind
of the cheating scandal

hidden under the alias "Charles"

will be detained in a
Youth Detention Center for a year

due to his previous case
of cheating in the last STIC.

Dad.

I brought you modules

so you'll stay updated with the lessons
even if you’re not in school.

Thank you, Dad.

Do you have any problems?

You look sad.

Nothing, Dad.

I just feel guilty because
you're still kind to me

even though I'm
a bad daughter to you.

I keep on disappointing you.

Is that so?

I think, maybe...

maybe I should be

more disappointed to myself.

You know, Lin,

I knew nothing
about being a father

before you came.

So maybe

I was the one lacking,

maybe I didn’t even know

how to truly
raise you properly.

But

don’t you ever say,

that you’re a disappointment
to me. Because you’re not.

I even admire you.

You’re not just smart.

You make mistakes, yes.

But,

you know in your heart
what's right to fix yourself.

You still choose
to do what’s right.

And because of that,

you’re a blessing to me.

I’m proud of you.

No, Dad.

Have you ever had
a student like that?

Which one,

the proper, decent, smart one?

I don’t know, maybe.

The only thing I can
do as a teacher...

is my best,

hoping that someday, one of those
kids will learn something from me.

Even if

I don't personally see their growth,

it doesn't matter to me anymore.

The best student of my
life is right here by my side.

That’s you.

Thank you, Dad.

Love you, Dad.

I love you, Linlin.

Don’t be sad anymore, okay?

Thanks again.

Don’t mention it.

Hi.

I hope that the auditorium

gets done in time for
your batch's graduation

You know,

I genuinely thought

either you or Tristan would
be valedictorian of your class.

As it turns out,

in the history of
Possenti, the top

students

were also the ones who did the
most shameful act they could possibly do.

Maybe in the next tournament,

Possenti might also
make it to the championship

if Lin plays.

That is if you'll give her a chance

to be a scholar of Possenti.

Well, that's asking
for too much, Vin.

I know.

That’s why I’m thankful you
came so you could witness Lin.

that she could be
the student to win

all of your academic
competitions

if you give her a chance.

You're right.

I mean, she's
highly intelligent.

I would like to ask
for your forgiveness.

I'm truly sorry for
everything that happened.

You could expel me, but...

you didn't.

Right.

You should also be punished
like what happened to Tristan.

But,

you have shown remorse.

You surrendered
to the authorities.

Which brings me to my point.

I think, you don’t
need to leave Possenti.

But I need your help.

What is that?

This year,

applications opened

for Alami-Khatib Scholarship.

This only happens
every two years

for applicants.

In my opinion, this is the
most difficult scholarship

compared to all.

You will be competing against
students from all over Southeast Asia.

And,

Lin, I think you’re the
only one who can win this

in the whole school.

I thought I made
the right choice.

But was my choice
right for everyone?

Maybe we can ask
Grace's family for donations.

Don't they own a chain
of printing presses?

Right.

Ask her Dad if he
can sponsor us.

Hi, man.

If you need help
with your report,

you can just pay a
guy, to write it for you.

I know someone.

You want his number?

I know what you're thinking.

Lin, you know what?

This is just how the system is.

This is how the world works.

If you win this scholarship,
you get to go to school here.

And next year, your dreams
of going to school abroad,

will come true.

I've made my final
decision just now.

One of us should be
able to get in there.

Maybe it takes

a good cheater to redesign a
system without poverty and corruption.

The decision is yours, Bank.
