[UNSETTLING MUSIC PLAYING]

Mike Trinidad is dead.

I want to know where our money is!

That's our suspect. Samuel Trinidad.

Mike's son.

He's currently in the hands of the police.

He's being interrogated right now.

He can't end up behind bars.

He needs to tell us where the money is!

Rigor mortis had already set in

when the forensic team examined the body.

This puts the time of death between 9PM and 10PM.

And based on the CCTV time stamp,

Samuel Trinidad arrived at around 11:30PM.

There's powder burn on the victim's hand.

Most probably, it was suicide.

I remember seeing you two.

You both went to your office.

What did you two talk about? It seemed important.

I'd rather keep to myself whatever it was we talked about.

Did you personally know my husband?

He is my father.

Dude, what's happening?

The office is gone! And so is our money, dude!

It's probably buried with Mike Trinidad!

We've been scammed!

He was too scared to face his sins.

Mike Trinidad will pay for his crimes, even in the grave.

You're scamming people!

There he is! He's down here!

Give us back our money!

Sir, it wasn't just investment funds Mike took.

Even our big accounts were wiped out.

I have an idea where he hid all the money.

Just give me some time, sir.

I'll recover all of it.

Leave the son to me.

[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]

[THEME MUSIC CONCLUDES]

[MAEL] Did I hear you right?

You received an email.

Turns out, the sender is...

dead?

Correct?

That's right, bro.

How could that happen?

Oh, I know this one.

It's called a scheduled email.

For example, you write an email today.

You can set it so the recipient will receive it next week.

Let's say, hypothetically,

you go out and get hit by a bus

right after sending it.

The email will still be delivered to the recipient

on the scheduled date.

The wonders of modern technology, right?

[STIRRING MUSIC PLAYING]

[SIGHS]

[MAN 1] Where is it?! We need our money!

Sir-- [PANTS]

Mr. Sanchez is here.

He suddenly showed up.

[STIRRING MUSIC CONTINUES]

[PEOPLE CLAMORING IN THE DISTANCE]

Mr. Sanchez--

Is it true?!

Samuel.

The money I invested in your father...

Is it really gone?

Sir, I had nothing to do with what my father did.

I wasn't involved.

At all, sir.

[BREATHES SHARPLY]

I invested in him because of you!

Mr. Sanchez, come on.

- Let's talk-- - No!

[STIRRING MUSIC CONTINUES]

Sir, I know he's my father.

But I had no knowledge of his investment scheme.

When he came here,

that was the first time I had seen him again

since I was a kid.

Believe me.

I had nothing to do with it.

I worked hard for that money!

All I can do now is this.

Whatever losses you've suffered,

we'll recover them.

I'll take good care of your portfolio.

- No. - I promise.

Sir, leave it to me.

Pull out my money here!

- No, no. Sir-- - Samuel.

- Mr. Sanchez. - No more trust!

- Don't do this. - No!

- Mr. Sanchez. - No!

Sir!

[MUSIC FADES OUT]

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

Son.

I saw all the posts on social media.

Are you okay?

How are you holding up?

Ma...

This has already affected my work.

Because of it, I lost a major client.

And now, the people my father scammed

are coming to confront me at the branch.

[INHALES, EXHALES DEEPLY]

Hang on, Samuel.

Are all the accusations against your father true?

Seems like it, Ma.

Seems like it.

[MOROSE MUSIC PLAYING]

My goodness, your father...

He couldn't just help it.

He had to leave behind a huge mess.

I just don't understand him.

Good grief.

[MUSIC BECOMES PENSIVE]

Ma.

Ma, what was my first word?

- What? - My first word.

When I was a baby.

What did I say first?

Your first word?

First word...

Uh...

"Hello."

You said hello.

[PENSIVE MUSIC CONTINUES]

[SAMUEL] "Your first word is IVORY."

[ELEVATOR DOORS CLOSE]

My men have been keeping a close eye on Samuel.

So far, he hasn't made any suspicious moves

or shown signs of big purchases.

I've also been monitoring his bank account.

No suspicious activity there either.

[GLOOMY MUSIC CONTINUES]

The amount of money is just too large to hide easily.

But Mike Trinidad? He was good at it.

Let's hope his son didn't take after him.

[GLOOMY MUSIC CONTINUES]

He will bring us to the money, don't worry.

Okay.

[ELEVATOR DOORS SLIDE OPEN]

[MUSIC FADING OUT]

[RAFAEL] Email from the grave?

Why was it only sent now?

I think Papa was protecting something.

He didn't want just anyone to see it.

[PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]

See what?

Five hundred fifty-six million dollars?!

Bro!

- Sorry, bro. - Shh!

[WHISPERS] Five hundred fifty-six million dollars?

Seriously? That's a lot of money, bro.

It's a crypto wallet, all in USTD.

One USTD is equivalent to one US dollar.

So, that's over 32 billion pesos.

[PENSIVE MUSIC CONTINUES]

You think this is the money your father scammed?

Yes.

That's why he converted it to crypto to keep it hidden.

You can't deposit that much money in the bank

without getting flagged.

In crypto, you can get away with smooth transactions.

Your only identity is your wallet address.

If you're careful enough, it can't be traced to you.

Even the government can't freeze the funds, bro.

Because only you have control over the crypto wallet.

But did your father really scam this much money?

[SAMUEL] I don't know. [INHALES DEEPLY]

It sounds impossible.

This is way too much money.

He might have other illegal schemes.

[MUSIC BECOMES TENSE]

Bro, if I can access this crypto wallet,

I can return the scammed money to the victims

and all my problems will finally be over.

Here it is.

What are you waiting for?

It's not that easy.

With a blockchain explorer,

I can check what's in a crypto wallet,

but I can't transfer the money.

[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]

To access this crypto wallet, I need the seed phrase.

W-What's that?

When you create a crypto wallet,

it simultaneously generates its seed phrase.

It usually contains 12 to 24 random words,

depending on your desired level of security.

This combination is the only key to access the wallet.

In layman's terms,

it's the equivalent of a password.

That's why even if someone

knows all the words in the seed phrase,

they still need to enter them in the correct order.

I thought the word "ivory" was my first word,

so I confirmed it with my mother.

Turns out it's not, bro.

Ivory is the first word of the seed phrase.

What are the other words?

[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]

I don't know.

Your father is so strange.

He really is.

Would I be in this situation if he wasn't like that?

Maybe he didn't put all the words in the email

so other people wouldn't intercept it.

He has faith in you

because he knows you'll figure out what these are.

[PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]

[DOOR CREAKS OPEN]

[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

Seed phrase.

Seed phrase. [BREATHING HEAVILY]

I need to find the seed phrase.

Pa! Pa!

[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]

[SAMUEL] Seed phrase...

[MUMBLING] Seed phrase...

What's the seed phrase?

Seed phrase...

[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]

[SAMUEL] The laptop was just placed there, but...

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

where is it now?

[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]

[LOLITA] Samuel.

Ma.

Your son doesn't want to go to school.

- Why? - He's being bullied.

Kids are saying his dad and grandpa are scammers.

[GRIM MUSIC PLAYING]

[KING SOBS]

Son?

Dad, don't make me go to school, please.

But...

You can't just skip school.

Son, those bullies...

they're all just talk.

You have to be tough.

Just ignore them.

[SNIFFLES] I have classmates whose parents were scammed.

They hate me.

Some of them bully me.

Daddy will fix this, okay?

Alright? Daddy will fix this.

This will be over soon.

[SNIFFLES, SOBS SOFTLY]

They're calling you a scammer, Daddy.

The police are going to arrest you.

I'm going to lose you.

No.

No, I told you, Daddy's not going anywhere.

I am not going anywhere.

[WHIMPERS]

[SNIFFLES, CRIES]

[MOROSE MUSIC PLAYING]

[TEACHER] Mr. Trinidad,

we have a zero-tolerance policy on bullying

in our school.

With that said,

Mr. Trinidad,

we cannot control the kids' emotions.

So, what are you saying?

There's nothing you can do?

[TEACHER] We can conduct seminars

to remind the kids

that what they're doing is wrong.

But a lot of our students' parents are mad

and blame you and your father.

Ma'am, I had nothing to do with that.

[TEACHER] Yes, you already said that.

But right now,

while things are still tense,

I suggest homeschooling King.

For your peace of mind.

And for your information,

even our teachers fell victim to this scam.

Even me.

I can control the teachers,

but the parents and what they tell their kids,

that's out of my hands.

Think about it, Mr. Trinidad.

Thank you.

- [LINE DROPS] - Ma'am. Ma'am!

[PHONE RINGS]

What's up, bro?

Bad news again?

[RAFAEL] Bro, I sent you a video link.

Watch it.

[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

[PODCASTER] Samuel Trinidad,

who is the manager of the Golden Trust Bank,

is Mike Trinidad's son.

Last week, Mike Trinidad was at that bank.

So, I think that's where he's hiding our money.

That bank will pay.

They're an accomplice to the crime.

You'll all rot in jail!

[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]

[HUFFS]

[SHOUTS]

Mr. Gomez.

Mm!

General Ramirez.

- How are you? - I'm good.

- Would you like to join me? - No, I'm fine.

Go ahead.

Continue with what you're doing.

I just dropped by to say hi, and...

I won't take up your time anymore.

I know you're busy trying to save the Golden Trust Bank.

I admit, we took a hit,

but, it's manageable, General.

Really?

Well, that's good to hear.

I heard about the news

that Mike Trinidad's involved in a scandal,

and his son happens to be

your bank manager, unfortunately.

[FINGER SNAPS] What's his son's name?

Samuel Trinidad.

Samuel Trinidad, Samuel Trinidad.

Yeah, yeah. That's the guy.

Adam, in the world of banking,

optics is everything, right?

Business runs on the trust of the depositors,

as well as their opinion of you.

If they find out that you are associated with a scammer,

naturally, they'll be worried.

And the next move is,

they may take their business elsewhere.

But anyway, I'm not worried.

You said your bank took a hit,

but it's manageable.

I trust you.

I know you can save this bank

that you spent your entire life building.

Good job.

Thank you, General.

Yeah. Go back to your meal.

- Thank you. - See you around.

[GRIM MUSIC PLAYING]

[PHONE RINGING]

[HELEN] I thought you were coming home after the burial?

I went to Boracay.

I needed a break.

A break from what?

All you do is party,

which you'll probably do again now that you're back.

Ma, what's the problem?

I don't even live with you anymore.

Why are you waiting for me to get home?

[SIGHS] Well...

I've been reading posts about your dad.

Ari, even his son was involved in the scam.

Everyone's mad at them.

What if you get involved?

I'm on my way to airport to go home.

Besides, nobody here knows me.

So, chill, okay?

[HELEN'S HUSBAND] Helen, have you seen my purple shirt?

- Helen? - Coming.

Oh, your husband is looking for you.

Is that Ari bothering you again?

Hey, Ari.

Why don't you stay in the Philippines

and stop calling us? Okay?

"Us?"

Did I call you?

I didn't, right?

What?

What did you say?

You married a Filipina

yet didn't bother to learn Tagalog?

What a prick.

Babe, what'd she say?

Hey, George.

What?

Suck it, loser.

What?

What did she say?

[CROWD CLAMORING]

Scammers don't need protection.

They should fend for themselves.

[CLAMORING CONTINUES]

[JOHNNY] Sir, good morning.

You should go in, before it gets messy out here.

[CLAMOR, SHOUTS]

Sir, sir.

What?

You need to see our transactions.

What?

Why?

What happened?

[UNSETTLING MUSIC PLAYING]

"Current Balance"

[EMPLOYEE] Sir, our deposit balance

was 25 billion yesterday.

That's what's left.

And it keeps going down.

Who authorized this?

I didn't approve these withdrawals.

Sir.

"001"

This is the head office. It was the president.

He's shutting down this branch.

[UNSETTLING MUSIC CONTINUES]

[UNEASY MUSIC PLAYING]

[GUARD] Sir, you can't park your car there.

[UNEASY MUSIC CONTINUES]

[ASSISTANT] Sir, you can't go in there.

[SAMUEL] President Gomez.

- [ASSISTANT] Guard! Guard! - This is a board meeting.

What the hell are you doing here?!

- [IMMIGRATION OFFICER] Enjoy. - Thank you.

[GRIM MUSIC PLAYING]

[IMMIGRATION OFFICER] Thank you.

[COMPUTER BEEPS]

Ms. Arissa Trinidad,

can you please confirm your father's full name?

Miguel Trinidad. Why?

Also known as Mike Trinidad?

Yes. W-What's this about?

Ms. Trinidad, I'm sorry,

but can you please step aside for a moment?

Why? What's the problem?

I'm afraid your name has been flagged.

Flagged? What does that mean?

Well, it means that your name has been

on the DOJ's watch list order,

and we have to sort it out before you can board.

M-My plane leaves in an hour.

I'm sorry. Bro.

Please follow this gentleman to the secondary screening.

This is ridiculous. I haven't done anything wrong.

Ms. Trinidad, if this is a mistake,

we'll sort this out.

But as of the moment, you cannot leave the country.

- [SCOFFS] - [IMMIGRATION OFFICER] Please.

[GRIM MUSIC CONTINUES]

She's Mike Trinidad's daughter?

[IMMIGRATION OFFICER] Next.

Sir, you authorized large-amount withdrawals from my branch.

Yes, I did.

Our clients are coming directly to me.

- Do you know why, Samuel? - Sir.

They don't want to talk to you anymore.

Sir...

All of those withdrawals,

they are not just withdrawing from your bank,

they are withdrawing their money from Golden Trust Bank

and putting it in other banks!

And it's all because of you.

You got my bank into this mess.

Sir, please believe me,

I had nothing to do with my father's dealings.

I had nothing to do with it.

I don't care about that anymore.

Do you know why we called this board meeting?

Because of what's happening now.

Anyway, [CHUCKLES] it's good that you're here.

Because you're one of the agendas of this board meeting.

[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

Effective immediately,

you are terminated from Golden Trust Bank.

[ELLEN] I knew it.

If you had gone straight home,

you wouldn't have gotten dragged into that issue.

Ma, I don't need this right now.

Can you please stop nagging me?

Don't act so arrogant when you're the one at fault.

What are you going to do now?

I don't know.

Just let me think.

Oh, really? When have you ever used your head?

Ma!

[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]

Sir, this is unfair.

Unfair? You know what's unfair?

That they are losing confidence in Golden Trust Bank

because of you and your father!

I'm innocent. I'm innocent.

It doesn't matter. You know, you are now poison.

If you stay in this bank,

people will lose confidence and trust in us!

A bank run may even start because you are still here!

I have been loyal to this company.

I have been loyal, sir!

Loyalty means nothing to me.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

This is illegal termination. I'm taking this to court.

I'm taking this to court.

[MR. GOMEZ] Go ahead, Samuel.

I am willing to lose a few million pesos

on labor cases instead of losing billions from my bank!

I'm going to make sure that you go bankrupt

from attorney fees and legal fees.

And I am going to love every minute of it.

Get him out of here!

- Sir, let's talk about this. - Come with us.

- Wait! - Get him out!

I never want to see you again!

Mr. Gomez, let's talk about this. I can leave on my own.

Wait! Sir!

[GRIM MUSIC PLAYING]

Good day, Ms. Trinidad. Welcome back.

I thought your flight was this morning.

Long story. I just want to rest.

And please give me my old room. I liked the view.

It'll cheer me up.

Sure, Ms. Trinidad.

[DEVICE BEEPS]

[DEVICE BEEPS]

Um, Ms. Trinidad, do you have other cards?

This card was declined.

[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

Let go of me. Let go!

I can walk from here.

Hey, watch it!

Next time, watch where you're going.

You bumped into me.

What's with the temper?

You're the one who's not looking where you're going.

Is there a problem?

You look like someone who just got fired.

What did you say?

I know you.

You're the...

...scammer.

[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]

All my life,

I've always wanted to get away from Papa.

I want to live my own life.

I want to feel like I'm not like my father.

But in the end,

people think we're just the same.

Scammers!

[SULLEN MUSIC PLAYING]

- [CHAIR THUDS] - [INHALES SHARPLY]

I can no longer claim my severance pay, Ma.

I've been terminated.

Everything I worked hard for is gone in an instant!

- It's all gone! - [TABLE SLAMS]

All those might be gone.

But...

- Dear, didn't we... - [SAMUEL BREATHES SHARPLY]

[EMOTIONAL MUSIC PLAYING]

...come from nothing, dear?

Dear...

When your father left us,

we struggled so much.

We really did.

I didn't even know how I'd afford your schooling.

[BREATHES SHARPLY, SNIFFLES]

But you found a way on your own, Samuel.

[BREATHING DEEPLY]

You were able to secure a scholarship.

[EMOTIONAL MUSIC CONTINUES]

You even juggled a job while studying.

Dear, you've achieved a lot.

Dear...

Dear, you built a good life for us.

Look at all this.

We live in this nice house...

because of you, dear.

[SOBBING, SNIFFLING]

Ma...

[SNIFFLES]

That was before, Ma. [SNIFFLES]

That's when people didn't see me as a scammer.

[EMOTIONAL MUSIC CONTINUES]

[INHALES DEEPLY]

Dear...

Just like before...

I know you can get back on your feet.

Because you're such a strong person, dear.

You won't let yourself fall without fighting!

You're so strong!

[BREATHES DEEPLY]

Everything...

Everything I've achieved in my life...

[SNIFFLING]

...wouldn't be possible without you.

Samuel...

When your dad and I separated,

there was one thing I made sure to do.

That was for you to feel like you have a loving family.

And just like what we did before...

we will rise again.

Dear, in this situation,

you can make it as a part of our family.

[PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]

Family?

Family...

[PENSIVE MUSIC CONTINUES]

- [BAG UNZIPS] - Samuel?

[BREATHES HEAVILY]

[LAPTOP CLATTERING]

Samuel, what's wrong?

[KEYBOARD CLACKING]

Samuel, what's going on?

[KEYBOARD CLACKING]

[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

The government will freeze

all the accounts under your dad's name.

I'm trapped here.

Those scammers make me so angry.

They are all heartless.

You have no freedom

if people see your family as scammers.

I need to find the seed phrase.

It's hidden in a secret compartment.

We can't let them get ahead of us.

All that money came from the scam victims.

That's the kind of money you'd kill people for!
