Hey.

- Mara? - Yeah.

Nice to meet you.

- Sorry I'm late. - That's okay.

I live nearby anyway.

At last, I finally got to meet everyone's fantasy in person.

That's a bit much.

Anyway, I ordered milk tea for both of us.

Is that okay?

Of course, as long as it's you.

Thanks, boss.

Thank you.

Uh... Question.

I'm just curious.

With so many celebrities out there...

why me?

To be honest, I don't really know either.

I guess I just find foreigners more appealing. You know?

Okay.

You have sexy eyes, you know.

Especially up close.

Hey. Stop that.

You're making me self-conscious.

[laughs]

What?

Wanna go somewhere?

Actually, I have a place.

Okay.

Oh yes.

Oh yes.

Oh shit.

Oh shit.

Oh shit.

Oh shit.

Oh yes.

Oh yes.

Oh yeah.

Oh yes.

Oh yeah.

Oh yes.

Oh shit.

Oh yeah.

Oh yes.

Mara.

Mara.

Hmm?

Hey.

I have a shoot tomorrow.

I gotta go.

That's okay.

I'll just rest.

You wore me out.

Sorry.

Let's keep in touch, okay?

Yeah.

Bye.

Gotcha!

So?

How was your date the other day?

Jackpot!

- Really? - Yeah.

I knew it, as long as it's a foreigner, they're big-time.

An actor, even. I bet he smells so good.

Get it, girl!

He's not even that famous.

Still.

Hey, so? Did you enjoy it?

Super!

Let me experience that too!

Not yet.

Before I give the video to boss, I'll let you have him first.

- Are you game? - Hell yeah, of course!

That's settled, okay?

Cheers!

I've been noticing that guy at the other table for a while now.

He keeps looking at you.

Where?

At the end, to your left.

Hold on.

I think I know him.

Oh, yeah.

He's the one I always see on his social media.

The one who's always dancing and flexing his body in his content.

He even has millions of followers already. But...

he'll do.

Wait. Just stay here.

Hey, what are you gonna do?

Just watch me.

[chuckles]

- Hi! - Hello.

Uhm... I've been seeing your videos on social media.

Well actually,

it's a bit embarrassing to admit, but...

I’m actually following you.

By the way, I'm Cathy.

Wow. I have a fan.

I'm Carlos.

Oh yeah. That's your name on social media too, right?

“I am Carlos”.

Would you like to join me here for a bit?

My companion isn't here yet anyway.

Oh, sorry.

I'm actually with someone.

But if you don't mind,

you can just give me your number.

Sure.

Here.

So...

I'll head back to my friend now, okay?

- See you around. - It's nice to meet you, Cathy.

You're really something else!

Well...

Another payday!

Hey, wait.

Are you gonna let boss know about that?

Of course not. Hello?

Besides, he doesn't need to know about everything.

It's called hustling.

What about you? What's your hustle?

Nothing.

I just rely on boss.

Oh, come on. No wonder why you don't have another source of income, girl.

Oh, come on. Be flexible.

Be creative, Mara.

You're annoying.

My plan is, once I finish paying off my debt to him,

I'm getting out.

But have you ever thought

about when your debt to him will actually be paid off?

When you're a has-been?

Oh, come on.

Think about it.

So annoying.

Did you enjoy it?

So much.

You're amazing.

I told you so.

Anyway,

I have a small request.

Can I?

Anything.

- Really? - Yeah.

Hmm...

What is that?

Why do you have that?

Delete that, Cathy. Please!

If you grant my request.

What is it?

Hmm...

100 thousand pesos.

In exchange for your massive fame.

Blackmail.

You’re so dramatic.

I'm not like that.

Besides...

a hundred thousand is just pocket change to you, right?

I don't have that much money on me.

Oh, really?

Alright then. Let's just talk when you have the cash.

Son of a bitch!

Are you a scammer?

Hey!

Of course not!

I'm just making a living.

Whatever.

- What the hell? - Please, just don't upload that.

Please.

I don’t really intend to upload it.

Unless you have the cash.

Alright, fine.

Let's meet tomorrow.

Same time.

At the bar.

Okay.

I'm easy to talk to.

So...

See you tomorrow?

Bye.

Why are you delayed in submitting the videos?

Boss, Celebrity A and I haven't done anything yet.

It's just been dates. He's so busy.

You want out?

Look, Mara,

remember,

you still have a huge balance with me.

Jonie here has a debt to me too.

But when I give an order, she obeys immediately.

Boss, I haven't forgotten about that.

Don't worry. I'll push him into it.

I met him accidentally in Pobla.

Here's the result.

Who's this?

A famous basketball player. Check it out.

Just get your money at my unit.

Alright, sir.

Hi, Alex.

Saw your photos.

Gorgeous.

It's time to work.

Hi! I'm Mara. How can I help you?

So, what's up?

Why did you wanna see me again?

Nothing. I just missed you.

Good thing you have some spare time.

Yeah.

You're lucky I don't have anything scheduled today.

Lucky, really?

What I mean is,

I have time to spend with you.

Is that so?

If I hadn't messaged you, you wouldn't have messaged me either.

You have a point.

I've been super busy lately.

What have you been up to, anyway?

Well, uhm...

TV guestings,

I have a new television series,

and then I just finished a photoshoot for a new underwear brand yesterday.

So that's what you're wearing today?

Actually, yeah.

Oh yeah?

Let's see it then.

Oh, you.

Wait.

How about my talent fee?

We'll see.

Is this okay?

How about this?

How about this one?

It'll do. You pass.

This one?

Just a pass?

You're so mean to me.

Well, what do you want to hear?

Make your comments a bit better.

So I get more motivated.

Okay.

How's that?

Perfect!

But honestly,

you're much hotter

without that on.

Oh, is that so?

You're unbelievable.

Oh yes.

Oh yes.

Oh yes.

Oh yes.

I'll go ahead, babe.

Babe?

You don't like it?

Uhm, of course I do.

But you might have a girlfriend.

FYI, I don't have a girlfriend.

Really?

Oh shit.

Actually, I do.

You.

Don't be like that.

I might actually believe you.

Don't you want to?

Hmm...

I do.

Then it's settled.

We're together now.

Just accept it.

You hit the jackpot with me.

I am lucky.

You really are.

But of course...

I'm luckier.

I have a schedule today.

I'll see you soon.

Alright, babe.

Okay, babe.

See you.

How's your love life?

Love life. Wow. Uhm...

To be honest, I'm still single.

I don't want to think about that.

Career comes first.

Gas is expensive.

You're being linked to a sexy star.

Someone saw you two at a cafe.

Well, you know how showbiz is.

When they see you with another celebrity,

they assume there's something going on.

There's nothing to it.

Hmm... They say you two were super sweet, though.

Well, we did a shoot together for an underwear brand.

That's why we became close.

But we're just friends.

- Yeah, right. - I promise.

I swear. Hey.

Oh, you.

- Just one sec. - Okay.

I'm almost there.

Suck it.

Hurry up.

[knocks]

Here.

Have you already deducted it, sir?

Yes. You're almost done.

You can borrow from me again whenever you need to.

Maybe next time, sir.

But alright, thank you.

Maybe you'd like to pay off your balance in full?

Sir?

We can make it...

zero balance.

What do you mean, sir?

No one's going to know anyway.

Once I give you the videos of Celebrity A, just take everything.

When is that going to be?

Two weeks.

Just make sure.

Yes, sir. Two weeks.

Alright, boss. I'm heading out.

Alright.

I'll walk you out.

Jonie.

Sit.

Who's that?

Your assignment?

The celebrity?

You figured it out fast.

Of course.

The same thing happened to me before.

But right when I was about to fall for him,

well, I sent the video to Boss B right away.

Because get real, girl, we're working here.

We're not rich.

Besides...

those rising stars? Gosh.

They have so many flings.

So, don't go hoping you're the only one.

Is that how it is?

Of course.

Instead of letting them play you,

beat them to the punch.

That love stuff,

you can think about that once we've saved up a lot of money.

Like, rolling in cash.

Why don't you just let me have a taste of him?

Hmm?

Let's see if they'd still fall for you after.

Don't be like that, bestie.

Just messing with you.

So, does that mean you really love him?

Oh, please.

Get your head straight.

Don't be an idiot.

Alright, fine. I'm just gonna use the restroom.

Gotcha.

Hi, Alex.

It's Cathy.

What? In the hospital?

The bill is so high now.

What?

When do you need it?

Alright, I'll send some. First thing tomorrow.

Plus, there's my tuition, too.

Good god, everything's hitting all at once.

Even your tuition.

Alright, alright. I'll send it tomorrow, okay?

Thanks, sis.

Just make sure you take care of mom.

- Alright. - Take care of yourselves there.

Yes, sis. Alright.

So many problems.

[sighs]

I'm heading to Japan, bestie.

I got a gig over there. You know how it is.

Anthony, that pageant winner, boss handed him over to me.

I said I'd be there for two weeks.

Take care of it.

Bye.

Ouch.

Miss, are you okay?

Yeah. Thank you.

I don't think I've seen you around here before?

I live nearby.

Anthony.

Mara.

You look familiar.

I feel like I've seen you somewhere.

Maybe you saw me on social media.

Probably.

You know the Open Bikini Pageant?

That was me.

Really?

Wow.

This is embarrassing. I didn't know you were famous.

No, I'm not.

My friends just forced me to join.

- Told me to give it a shot. - Well, you deserved it.

Your girlfriend is pretty lucky.

Thanks.

I'm single. It's been two years. Too busy, I guess.

I see.

I just live nearby.

If you have some free time,

we can have coffee, or something.

Boss, here it is.

Is this bikini boy?

Yes, boss.

I already deducted your payment from that.

Alright, boss, thanks.

When is it going down with Celebrity A?

Soon, boss. Just a little more patience.

If he pushes back about the video,

you know what to do.

I really thought you'd turn me down.

That beauty and body cannot be ignored.

You're so flirty.

I'm close.

You're too slow.

Cathy beat you to it.

Look at this. It's ready for upload.

Don't do it yet, boss.

Wait for mine first.

I'll give it to you this weekend.

Why bother?

Back-to-back, boss. You'll make more money.

Hmm...

- What's up? - There's something you need to know.

Okay.

What's this?

Is this bad news?

Just watch it.

What is this?

You had a secret camera while we were having sex?

Why?

Alex, you know I'm just a virtual assistant, right?

What I earn isn't enough to provide for my family.

My mom is sick.

She’s in the hospital.

I'm putting my sibling through school.

That's why I took on a job that...

What are you saying right now?

Are you trying to blackmail me?

A sex scandal. You guys are gonna post this online?

You're gonna sell it?

Sir B is part of a massive syndicate.

They sell sex videos online

to exclusive porn sites.

They make a lot more money that way.

So, just because of money?

You're gonna ruin my career?

Alex, listen to me first.

Yeah. I'm listening.

I didn't give them our video.

And I can't bring myself to do it.

Because you've become important to me.

I don't want your career ruined.

I don't want your life ruined.

But my coworker,

Cathy-

I saw your sex video with her.

I don't know what you're talking about.

I don't remember that.

You remember?

I was drunk.

She got me drunk.

I don't know if what happened between us was even real.

When I woke up,

she was gone.

I'll admit.

I was hurt...

when I watched your sex video.

Hey.

Look, I'm sorry.

I don't want to have sex with anyone else

because of you.

I'm always thinking of you.

It’s the same for me.

That's why I didn't give them the video.

Because you've become important to me.

Come here.

Hey.

Hey.

Can we get that video from Cathy?

We can't anymore.

Why? What do you mean?

What I said was,

I wouldn't turn in the video to them yet,

because I couldn't bring myself to do it.

I don't care if they release the video.

I don't care if it ruins my career.

I owe boss some money.

Just one more payment and I'll have him paid off.

I am never going back to him.

I'm never making another scandal again.

But if I hand this over to them, I'm fully paid.

Still, I'd rather delete it than give it to them.

Thank you.

Watch your step there.

Stay here so your boss won't find you.

I'll protect you.

Thank you.

Oh yes.

Oh yes.

Oh yes.

Oh yes.

Oh shit.

I'm close.

Oh shit.

[phone rings]

I went to your unit.

The guard said you weren't there.

You already moved out.

Boss, I found a better unit, so I left that place.

Where's the video?

I'll give it to you, boss. Just wait.

You're so stubborn.

I'm uploading Cathy and Celebrity A's video now-

- Boss! - Your boyfriend.

Little something to help us relax.

Why do you seem so worried?

I just have a lot on my mind.

Like what?

I know my boss.

Once your scandal gets leaked,

they're going to order me to extort money from you.

Blackmail.

I don't want to do that anymore.

I can't bring myself to do that to you.

Just calm down.

Okay?

Listen to me.

If they release that video,

we'll sue.

We will fight them.

Alex?

Alex?

Babe?

He's not here.

Babe?

Alex.

Alex's sex video is already all over the internet.

Mara, help me.

You son of a bitch, Alex!

You asshole! Shit!

You really pulled one over on me, you piece of shit!

Damn you! Shit!

[phone rings]

[phone rings]

Who the hell is that?

Why, Mara?

Huh?

Where are my things anyway?

Be like Jonie.

Obedient.

Boss.

Let's meet up.

I have the flash drive ready.

You can take it.

By the way, have you seen Cathy and Alex's video?

It's already hit a million views.

Get ahead of Alex right away.

Extort one million from him immediately.

Okay?

[wailing]

Hello?

Help me, Mara.

Sir B is hurting me.

I can't take what he's doing to me anymore.

Mara, help me, please.

Help me.

Where are you?

Let's meet up. I'll come find you.

So, how are you?

I'm okay.

Uhm...

I should've been more careful.

I let my guard down.

I trusted them.

Two of your sex videos were leaked.

What can you say about that?

Shit happens.

I was recorded.

But...

It's a clear violation of my privacy,

and the law.

I trusted the wrong people and...

I was betrayed.

I hope you understand where I'm coming from.

It happens.

Life moves on,

and I'm ready to move on from this issue.

Thank you so very much for your questions,

but this is the last time I'll talk about it.

Thank you.

Is everything you're saying true?

Yes, sir.

Are you willing to submit a complaint affidavit?

Yes, Chief.

We know that what we did was wrong.

We let ourselves be used by the syndicate.

But we only did it because life is so hard, Chief.

Life is just so tough.

I can't take what they're doing anymore either.

That's why they really need to pay for all of it.

It's going to be okay.

Hold on. Who are you guys?

Are you Bernardo Santos?

Yeah. Why?

Wait, what's that? Hold on.

- I'm asking you a question. - You have the right to remain silent.

Why, what's my charge?

Anything you say...

- Hold on, boss! What is this? - ...can and will be used for...

...or against you in any court of law.

You have the right to...

- ...an attorney of your choice. - Hold on, boss. That hurts.

- If you cannot afford an attorney, - Boss, just a second.

- One will be provided for you... - Is it money you need?

- By the government free of charge. - I have a lot. I'll give you.

- We can talk about this, boss! - Alright, take him away.

Hold on!
