01x36 - Meet Tinay

[bunniefuu]

Commander Uncle
has failed us multiple times.

He's too bold.

It's because

he controls the drugs in here.

And that's why you k*lled him?

Because you had a disagreement over drugs?

Answer right away! Answer!

He's been disrespectful.

Too much.

Lucio.

Wait for the patrol
that will take him to La Trinidad.

He can't stay here until the morning.

Especially, he can't be seen by
Commander Uncle's group

because I'm sure

something bad will happen.

Alright, Warden.

Come on.

Hurry!

-Sir!
-Go get him!

Come on!

Warden.

Congrats to you, by the way!

I'm sure your reputation upstairs
will be better again.

Give us some leeway, will you?

You know, Lucio, we can't relax.

We need to show the prisoners

that we don't believe in their nonsense.

I just wonder.

Why was that Erol guy caught so easily?

What do you mean, Warden?

We didn't just do
a surprise inspection, right?

He had time to hide
or dispose of the evidence.

But why didn't he do that?

If you think about it,

he made our job easier.

There are so many questions,

but why are the answers
so quick and clean?

Aren't you wondering
the same thing, Lucio?

I can't blame you
if you don't reply to my messages

I hope you change your mind.

Forgiveness is a complex process.

Forgiveness is not
forgetting the painful past.

Mom, what am I supposed to do?

You know the most painful feeling?

When I should have created a
chance to talk to him one last time.

But I didn't.

You know, guys,

let this be a life lesson, okay?

Don't waste the time you have with
the important people in your life.

Because…

you never know…

how long you'll
have them with you.

Tinay, how are you?

Tinay, if you're listening,

I want to see you.

I'm talking to Linda,
your mom's friend. You're in Baguio.

Just tell me where we can meet.

Mr. Seng, I'm not a Commander.

Why was I invited here?

Son of a g*n, Jimmy Boy.

I'm the one who called you, right?

I brought you here because I
wanted you to hear the discussion.

I know I can trust you, right?

Thank you for accepting my invitation.

Why are we here, Mr. Seng?

First of all.

I would like to request something
from you, Commander Tiklo.

I hope you can convey our
condolences to your entire group

for Commander Uncle's death.

Clever Warden Bennie, huh?

He had the one who k*lled
Commander Uncle transferred right away.

But we'll find another way to avenge him.

I understand.

You loved Commander Uncle
and want to avenge him.

But what I want

to discuss is how we

can convince and

show Warden Bennie

that we can be trusted.

There.

Because the thief was caught anyway.

Right?

It's good to show that
we can maintain our area

peacefully and without trouble.

I agree with that.

Especially since the warden's
eyes are on our group right now.

Did you have any idea that Erol
was working for Commander Uncle?

No.

Tiklo might know more.

Weren't you…

Commander Uncle's right-hand man?

It's only now that I learned
that he didn't tell me everything.

And you want us

to believe that you
were just disciplining the group

when you dealt with Commander Uncle?

Oh, is that it?

Don't lump us all together, Mr. Seng.

We, who grew up in hardship.

And be careful
with your words, lest you forget

that I am now the commander of Pikit-mata.

I apologize.

Yes, my words were out of line.

But…

I want to discuss
how we can take steps

to show Warden Bennie

that we won't give him any headaches.

I hope you two can set aside
your group's quarrels for now.

Mr. Seng is right.

We need to get along.

This is for our own good, too.

I am…

ready to do
whatever it takes to fix our place.

Quiet,

comfortable.

So am I.

That's good. Thank you.

Thank you.

Ma'am, here it is.

Do you have rice already?

-Yes, we do.
-What else do I owe you?

-Just rice.
-You too, boss.

That's for you.

Enjoy eating!

Sir, have you made a choice?

What's your best seller here?

Best seller, sir.

My mom's strawberry sinigang.

It's delicious.

I've never heard of that before.

Alright, I'll have one of those.

-Alright, sir. Alright.
-Wait.

Those souvenir shops have been
around for a long time, haven't they?

When I was a kid, they were already there.

Yes, sir, they've been
around for quite some time.

Do you know Maria Fe Ancheta?

Maria.

I don't, sir.

Maybe you know her as Baby?

Is her stall still around?

Baby…

I know someone, Auntie Baby.

Ah, Mom!

Mom! One strawberry sinigang, please.

Oh, okay!
Just one?

-One, please.
-Alright. Coming.

Sir, I'll go ahead.

Alright.

I'm not sure
if Auntie Baby is really here.

She's always busy managing
the souvenir complex.

No problem. I'm fine waiting.

Okay, sir.

Here's Trina, she might know
where Auntie Baby is.

Tinay?

My daughter.

Dad.

Why is Warden Bennie
talking to the commanders?

How should I know?

Geez!

Who knows?

You know better, Jim.
I know you know something about it.

I know you know that.
I know what you're thinking.

The way you said "who knows?"
came from your nose.

Look at my nose.

I'll check.

I'll show you what you're thinking.

I've seen it.

There was just an obstacle, but I see it.

I saw that.

It's real.

Gather around!

Those inside.

Mr. Seng has something to say.

Tinay?

My dear.

Can we talk?

Your father?

Get moving!

I have something important to tell you.

The commanders of all groups are united

in condemning

the death of Commander Uncle.

We agree

to work together to ensure
this doesn't happen again.

So starting today,

with the blessing
of Warden Bennie and my colleagues.

I have been appointed

to serve as the Grand Commander of all.

We are all now free

to cross different brigades.

There we go!

Together,

we will clean up the provincial jail

which is our home.

Agreed! Agreed!

Did you hear that, Dad?

It will be easier for us to talk now.

-No more hiding.
-Long live Mr. Seng!

Long live!

How are you?

You must be in college now.

What year are you in?

I stopped studying.

I know I failed you time and time again.

But I want to make it up to you.

Now of all times.

I wish it happened
when my mom was still alive.

When there was
still a chance to treat her.

Do you remember?

Your legal wife.

When we separated, I took care of
the annulment, but that doesn't mean…

-Trina.
-I don't want this.

I don't want this. Why are you here?!

Sorry, I can't handle it.

I know you still have a lot to say to me.

When you're ready, come see me.

Lord.

My conscience is really bothering me.

Nevertheless, I ask for your help

because I'm really struggling.

My mind is troubled,

as is my body.

I don't know
how much longer I can endure this.

Even my son.

We've sacrificed so much
just for us to be together.

I'm ashamed to ask, but

please give us
more time to be together.

Lord.

I'm ashamed, but please give me
even just a sign,

any sign.

I really don't know what to do anymore.

You're really a sister.

I thought you were an apparition.

I thought the Lord was talking to me.

Don't call me sister.
I'm not your sibling.

Sorry, ma'am.

Ma'am?

I'm not a teacher here either.
I'm just going to teach catechism.

You're going to teach catechism here?

There are so many
troublemakers here, ma'am.

I can keep up with you.

Good thing you didn't get burned.

Do you think I'm on the
side of darkness, huh?

No, not at all.

I didn't say that.
That came from you.

My name's Joy, by the way.

I'm Jimmy.

Jimmy.

Yes, ma'am.

Don't call me "ma'am." Just Joy.

Joy.

Is that okay?

Oh, sorry.

Tonio.

Tonio.

Joy.

Welcome to Benguet Provincial Jail.

Let me give you a tour first.

Sure.

Why?

Isn't she beautiful?

Trina.

Barok, I'm fine.

No, I'm really sorry.

I didn't know.

He was really looking for Aunt Baby.

Barok,

please, I'm fine.

No, I just wanted…

I didn't know he was your dad.

If I had known,
I wouldn't have poured salt on…

Barok! Barok!
For the last time, I said, I'm fine!

What is happening?

There's another misunderstanding.

All I wanted to ask you,
Mr. Seng, was simple.

Since you're the grand commander now,

find out if

Erol had any accomplices
in Commander Uncle's death.

Commander Tiklo,

do you realize what you're asking for?

You're asking me to dig up something

that could destroy us all.

We've already convinced Warden Bennie

that Commander Uncle

was the mastermind
of the drug den in here.

Now that he's gone,

the business will likely die too.

It's a great chance
for us to return to our old ways.

Once the situation cools down.

But I didn't like
what you did earlier, huh.

You embarrassed me
in front of the other commanders.

I'm sorry.

It's important for me to let them
know we have a disagreement.

So they don't catch the truth.

That's the problem!

You made me
look even more suspicious to them!

Well, you're the one who's always
mentioned when it comes to drugs.

No.
Son of a g*n.

That was just whispers,
nothing was proven.

But admit it,

you're complacent.

So your millions

did nothing.

You still got caught.

Because of your other henchmen.

You're right about that.

But…

in here,

having millions makes you more powerful.

So I'm sure I can
convince the other commanders

that I should lead all of you.

I just have one request for you.

Tone down your

bravado a bit.

Because

my patience isn't unlimited.

You wouldn't want to see what
happens when it runs out.

I owe a lot to Commander Uncle.

I just want to make sure that everyone
involved in his death will pay.

Try taking care of a plant.

It can help you calm down.

And reduce the chances

of putting us all in danger.

Forgiveness is said to be
the most effective reward.

But in the world we live in,

some people are
addicted to dangerous revenge.
