Original subtitles

You came home?!

When you're hungry, you always come home here.

Why?! This is my house too!

Probably because you and your mistress have nothing to eat.

Why did you have to come home? We're at peace now.

Stop it Diday. I'll hit you!

I thought we won't interfere with each other anymore?

I'll come home and go when I want and it's none of your business!

Is that so? This son-of-a-bitch! You shameless devil!

You beast! You're an animal! You're shameless!

You devil!

Stop it! Stop it it hurts!

You're shameless!

You beast!

You're such a burden to me!

Stop it already!

Get out of here!

You're a beast!

- You want more?! - Enough, dad.

You're shameless! Lorna, I'm feeling dizzy.

Oh my! How over acting!

Stop it!

Enough of your drama! That's been overused.

It has sold already!

The wound's small.

You're just nervous. You better go and rest.

Lorna, go buy me some noodles. I'm hungry.

Don't mind your mother. She's not going to die.

The money?

Money? Why, didn't that gay gave you your salary?

I'll beat him!

Mother, the rice.

Move along!

Oh, Lorna buy me ginger tea and ice.

There might be grilled squid there, get some too.

Oh you..

I hope you go to hell!

What did you say?

Nothing. What I said was, what does Lucy,

The girl you're living with, what does she have that I don't?

What Lucy are you talking about? Give me that.

You're always hurting me.

I didn't meant to.

I got surprised.

Surprised? You fractured me!

Does it sting?

It stings!

Is it painful?

Ouch! It tickles. Don't touch that, Tibo.

You pervert.

The neighbors might hear us!

Okay, enter.

I'll wash for you Dory,

I'll iron clothes, cook delicious food aside from giving manicures.

You won't be shortchanged for adopting me and you know me well.

I was only twelve when I started working here.

Oh, your dad, God in heaven, you know that I'm tense around him.

He might have me buried alive because I'm tolerating you.

And don't you pity your mother?

You were the one who said that your dad doesn't go home yet you're leaving her.

You're so heartless.

She doesn't even pity herself.

What more me?

Besides, I gave her every payday.

So selfless.

Honey, Lorna's going to stay here.

That's good.

Lorna, let's sleep beside one another.

Hey Steve! Your allowance is in danger.

Can't you take a joke?

Okay. Go inside the room.

Because you still have to go to the market later you might not get cheap prices.

- Thank you. - Wait a minute Lorna.

Why don't you have a boyfriend until now? You might be left behind.

Soon.

When I meet him and I know it's him, I won't let him go.

I'm wondering why your daughter left you.

She's just feeling bad.

I wasn't going to look for her but when I knew that she was here,

I told myself that I'd fetch her. You'll just make her into a slave.

I wasn't wrong, you made her do the marketing.

Be careful of what you say. I am not enslaving your daughter.

I thought she was just working as a manicurist, a beautician.

Oh my God in heaven. What I've been fearing has happened.

Hey Steve, get up from there. Oh my God, defend your partner.

I'm being attacked by this woman and you're just lying there.

Diday, Lorna was the one who wholeheartedly wanted to be adopted by Dory.

She offered to.

Stop meddling. I'm not talking to you.

You're also lazy, you've got a big body.

You should be the one doing what that gay is asking my daughter to do,

instead of just laying around.

You're just growing your...

Diday, I'm just asking you please not to bring bad luck to my business.

As soon as your daughter arrives, I'll let her go away.

I'm letting your daughter go.

I'm not leaving.

Your dad wants you home.

Leave me alone. You'll receive my full salary.

You're the one that's important to us.

You are just being used. He's making you a slave.

And in our place? I'm a slave too.

Lorna?!

I'm your child but you don't value me.

You enslave me, make me work and after, put me in deep shame.

Our smell's too vulgar already. We're being laughed at.

Both of you are old and wrinkled, and yet you still want it. You're still insatiable.

If possible, let's cut the connection between us.

How about me and your dad?

You're a bad daughter!

Remember this well, you'll crawl.

Whatever you do, it'll be tears that you'll reap.

I'm cursing you! I'm cursing you!

Mom!

Don't be afraid by those curses. Just give her money then you'll be fine.

Give her a lot of grandchildren, let's see if she won't take back those curses.

Get married.

How is that possible when I don't even have a boyfriend?

Oh my, God in heaven, It's so easy, then look for one.

Right?

Taxi!

Miss, mangoes?

Mr, Gener.

It's done.

It's dry.

Keep the change.

Thank you sir.

Sir?

Manicure?

Sit down.

Is this your first time here?

It's because the rain is pouring hard.

I'm just assigned at the factory.

A soap factory but I go home to Sampaloc.

Sampaloc?

And you work here in Makati?

My God, that's very far.

Doesn't your wife have a hard time bringing your food?

I still eat out. I'm still a bachelor.

What you're doing is expensive.

You must have a big salary not like us here.

As for me, my salary doesn't reached a hundred every month.

Although we have tips to look forward to.

You must be rich.

No. I only earn 1400, but when there's overtime,

My earning gets a little bit higher.

I hope you have your manicure here always.

Okay, I'm now your regular customer but you should always be the one to serve.

If that's all.

By the way, I'm Lando, Rolando Domingo.

Hey Lorna, hurry up, there are a lot of customers.

So Lorna is your name.

It's beautiful. As beautiful as the one who's named after it.

I need to introduce you to my family?

But I'm the one whom you're going to marry and live with.

You'll eventually meet them.

My stepmother and my two siblings.

My dad's been dead for long.

Anyway, I can't introduce you too to my mother and dad.

It'll be hard. You already know them, Lando.

What's important is that we can solve your problem Lorna.

That I could save you from this hell and I can take you away from Dory.

I owe Dory a lot but I've served her so much already.

Wait,

Are you really ready to marry me?

If you're ready to marry me.

But, I want a real marriage.

Traitor!

My eyeballs have gone white in waiting for you.

Don't you know how many customers I have resisted because I don't have my helpers?

Just when there were many customers, that's when you thought of getting married.

Sorry Dory.

So how's that Lorna when you're both married already?

I'll still be working here but I can't do the duties of a maid anymore.

I'm taking Lorna home with me.

It would be better. I was the only one who took you in.

If you don't want me, I don't want you anymore.

That's why get your things, all that you've taken from me.

And don't bother showing up because I don't know you for you're an ingrate.

You really should be cursed by your own mother.

Dory.

So what if you were able to leave your own parents, you're really an ingrate.

My wife's telling you that she's sorry.

Help me, help me, defend me.

Go and get your things. I might kill that bastard.

You're seeing that he's insulting me!

But he's right! You're really a bastard!

Coward! You've got no balls! Animal!

Coward! I thought you love me!

How much, man?

Have you stayed here for long?

Yes. Before, we lived in Bangkal but that was when my dad was still alive.

When he died, we transferred here.

And my step-mom was already pregnant with my second brother, Boyito.

This is our room Lorna, upstairs, are my step-mom and my siblings.

It's much better here. I'll just get the key.

Lando...

Boyito, stop it! You better throw it outside cause it smells bad!

That kid...

Don't be afraid, he's Boyito, my youngest brother.

You know, he's already nine years old but his thinking is that of a four years old.

So, you've married already?

Aunt...

That's okay, we might be disturbing you.

We're having difficulties in life and yet you brought another mouth to feed!

Boyito! Boyito!

Ma?

You bastard! Go there and hide. Go up!

Don't hurt the kid.

Leave me alone. Mind your own wife!

I'm responsible for my kid!

Don't mind her, she's really moody.

She's just being sentimental maybe because she was not informed of our marriage.

Lando?

She's my other half sister with my dad.

She's Corazon, your sister Lorna, my wife. Insane, you already have a sister-in-law.

Insane?

That's how she's being called here, you know.

Give me those.

She's not deaf, she's just like that.

She's got ill when she was still young, when dad died.

If I'm not mistaken, you're inviting Lando to transfer to another house, right?

No, aunt, we don't have any plans of leaving this place.

I also came from this kind of life.

I thought you're a rich girl!

Aunt, enough!

Rolando, you can't even feed us and yet, you added another one to feed!

What if you have a child?

How pitiful Boyito and Corazon would be, they'll lose their allowance!

- Aunt. - I'll also work Aunt Tricia.

I left my job before but I'll look for a new one, with a much bigger salary.

Hey, why don't you eat?

Hey, insane! Before you sleep, return those comics to my friend.

If only not for this misery...

I'll look for work too because it'll be a shame to both of you.

I'm sorry for being your step-mom!

Go drink.

Okay, go upstairs.

By the way Lando, I want to bring you to my parents before you go to work.

That was what I was going to say, you just said it first.

We'll go early tomorrow.

Don't worry, I'm not going to tire you.

Oh this kid...

Hey!

You pigs! No manners!

Hey, it's shameful to the neighbors.

They're bastards! Pigs!

You're more ill-mannered, animal! You bastard!

Lando.

Aren't you going to sleep? You're really a pig!

Why do you often hit the child!

If only you had him urinate before sleeping, he wouldn't have done it.

Okay if you say so.

Why? Are we the only ones? Are we?

Go on, go to sleep. Go to sleep.

Mom... Mom!

Mom... Mom!

This is Lorna. Open this. Mom!

Lorna, it looks like your mother went out.

I know that she's here.

Mother, this is Lorna. Please open the door.

Oh Lorna.

Choleng where's mother?

She's in there. Keep knocking. She's just sulking.

Oh, so he's the one you married.

How did you know?

Through Loraine.

Once when she had Dory perm her hair,

he told her that you already got married.

That you're no longer under their roof.

Diday? Diday? Your daughter's here with your handsome son-in-law.

Oh, for awhile Lorna, the rice I'm cooking might get burned.

Mother?

Mother forgive me. Just let us kiss your hand, Mother!

Let's go. Let's go. Nothing's going to happen, we'd better go back.

What are you looking at here? Did someone die?

Go home!

- Dad? - Lorna.

Dad, please forgive me.

Where are you working now? Is your salary big?

Are you rich already?

You know what? Even though she's a rebel, she was the one who fed us before.

Who's this?

Hello, sir.

I'm Lando, your son-in-law.

So you got married? Guard?

Where are you working? I hope in a bank, we can easily bring money out.

Just kidding, you really know how to choose well.

It looks like what you caught is saying something. So what are we doing here?

Don't let them enter here!

What are you doing? It's like you're refusing rice. What if I burn you?

Come here, Son.

Have some bottle brought.

Would this be okay?

Hey it's thick.

- Hey, Lito! - Yes?

Buy alcohol, and grilled pork.

Hurry up! Don't forget to give back the change, you might keep it again.

I won't. I'll go now.

Come.

Candida! Candida!

If you won't open the door right now,

grace will never go inside our house again.

Candida! Open the door. Or I'll break this down.

You get your commission for your work. We'll have half.

That would be difficult. What if there's no work? Then I'll be left hungry again?

It's always full.

I know ma'am that your shop's always full but...

Wait, wait. 200 every month.

Free food, there's no definite work time, one hour off,

now if it goes more than this, it's considered overtime.

When do I start ma'am?

Just call me Loring.

Now if you want, but per head okay?

For every work that you do. Until tomorrow.

Manicure, pedicure, blower.

Blower.

- You'll work here? - Yes.

My friend, how's life with a wife?

Just okay Bert.

Wonderful isn't it? It's like you're always in heaven, there's someone waiting.

You're always in glory, like your wife, beautiful, sexy.

When you get home and she has just taken a bath,

believe me you're still at the stairs but you'll only be wearing a belt.

Hey?! Lando, aren't you tired?

I already said that I don't want us to have a child yet.

What do you want? That I find fulfillment with another?

Is it only sex that you want?

I'm not a saint, Lorna, but why do you think that sex is dirty?

Take me away from this annoying place!

Look for another job with much bigger salary.

Anytime you want to, Lando, even if every year I get pregnant, it'll be fine.

At long last, you've spoken!

It's not and illegal, we're a couple.

You're thinking of many things! Do you want it, or not?

We both need it, no one's to be blamed!

What are you doing there?

Where's your brother Lando?

Come on, you better sleep.

Lorna! Lorna! Open the door!

Lorna!

Oh, why?

Don't leave me again, okay? Where have you been?

Outside.

But why didn't I hear you come inside?

What I heard was someone going down the stairs.

Oh, it's Corazon. She's the one who opened for me. Let's sleep.

Oh, you're awake?

Are you going to take a bath?

I apologize, Lando and I have used all the water,

just wait and I'll let Corazon fetch some water you.

Have your meal.

Corazon's here. What took so long?

Where have you been? Okay, fetch some water. Your sister Lorna will take a bath.

Have your meal.

Hey, Lando, you've eaten all the bread and have none left for Lorna.

You want me to buy for you?

No, it's okay aunt.

Can that be? Anyway, when Boyito wake's-up, he'll look for some, just a minute.

It seems like the air now is good.

She's like that, she's moody. And she's always like that if it's payday.

I don't have any money.

But they won't accept Lucy in the hospital, if there's no deposit.

It's up to you if she dies.

What did you say?

Tiburcio, you're not ashamed to ask money from me for your mistress?

Diday, I'm asking you I've no one to go to.

You're already insulting me,

and yet you're also hurting me with what you're doing to me!

I have no money!

I'll kill you!

Go ahead! Kill me! Kill me!

How much, dad?

One hundred. Now, if you have lots of money there, make it two.

Fifty pesos only? It's thin.

That's only money I have.

If you want, you can borrow from other people to add to that.

Unbelievable! Okay, tolerate each other!

Why did you come back?! To ask for my blessing? Get out of here!

What more do you want me to do? Am I that bad, that you can't even forgive?

Ma, I'm a good daughter.

I've enslave myself to other people just to help you and dad.

Are you counting the things you've done for me?

No, mother. I just want to reconcile with you.

I'm really in a very difficult situation but you won't listen to me.

Ma, I'm really sorry.

I've made a plan just for the two of us.

We'll runaway from them.

I'll take care of you.

I can make life much easier for us. It'll be peaceful.

Don't include me in the sins that you'll be doing.

Marriage sacred.

It's not right for a woman to runaway,

and just leave her husband alone.

You're a demon!

Ma, it's different now. Everyone is entitled to their own happiness.

Maybe you're just a mistress of that Lando?!

You're really immoral just like your father.

Because if you're not,

why do you have to give your stupid dad

some money just to spend for his mistress!?

You've hurt me Lorna! You've hurt me!

Get out of here!

Get out of here! I don't want to see your face ever again!

Get away! Don't ever come back!

Get out of here!

Go eat that yourself!

I don't need you! Animal! You have no conscience!

The timing was wrong, Lando!

Dad came home first and they fought, I just got involved.

Okay, if you really believe your mother can still forgive

and she just felt bad, change your technique.

Ignore them, I know time will come when she'll need your help,

I'm sure she'll go after you.

Tell me! Who's baby is that? Who's the dad of the child?

Dad, enough of that!

Don't you meddle! Hey woman! Tell me, who's the father?

You knew from the start, that I didn't like you!

You just forced me!

You took advantage of my youth,

just like your daughter Corazon!

I've never...

That's not what I'm asking about, answer my question.

Whose child is that? Who is it? I'll kill...

No!

Get away! I'll kill that woman. You don't have any conscience. You're shameless!

Father no! Brother!

- I'll kill her! - Stop!

What happened?

Nothing. Hey, hey stop! Go up!

She's just had an attack because of the chicken's blood.

So let's bring her to the center, to a doctor.

No need to. It's really like this. Get used to it.

Lando.

Don't mind it.

You fainted. Are you now okay?

I wish I never woke up.

Corazon?

You're very kind, you shouldn't be here.

What do you mean?

What happened? You fainted again?

I think she got scared when some of the chicken's blood got to her.

Oh well, drama, that insane is really dramatic.

Lando, I came from Baclaran. I was with Kikay.

We sold some panties, bras, house dresses, you earned fast from it.

She told me that we could be partners.

Just give me a capital, it only needs a little amount.

One of these days let's talk when there are no hindrances.

Okay, let's talk about it.

Okay. I'll just go and change.

Didn't she really say anything else to you?

Why? Does she have anything else that she should tell me?

She just asked what happened to her.

I just got surprised. It's only twice that I've heard her voice.

Why do you seem angry?

It's because it seems like you're judging.

You're the one who seems to be acting like that.

The reason why she's called insane because she's crazy,

when she speaks there's no pity.

I just thought that you might believe her.

Don't talk to her anymore, you'll just be wasting time.

She only speaks rarely and yet I won't talk to her?

Shit! I'll leave it to you.

How are you? Are you feeling well?

I know you're keeping secrets from me. You want to say something.

You can talk, can't you? Corazon, speak now, let's talk, you know a lot.

Aunt, good morning!

I just told Corazon... That I'll be the one to cook breakfast.

No need.

Can I talk to Lorna?

She's doing something.

It'll be only for awhile. It's just very important.

- Ouch! - I'm sorry.

What? You harmed Boysie again? There's someone looking for you.

Just a minute.

Choleng?

- It's your mother. - Go talk outside okay?

- Hurry up okay? - Yes.

She badly needs money.

- Why? - She's sick.

What?

I have a little savings here. How much is needed?

I think around 200 only for xray and medicine.

The doctor's fee is free.

The truth is Lorna, if only I had money, I wouldn't come here.

Your mother strictly told me that I mustn't come near you to ask for help

but I don't have anyone else to run to.

I feel bad. You're not our relative but you care more for my mother.

But you're my friend.

Hey Lorna, you might be forgetting that it's time for work.

I'll be there. Is my mother's condition critical?

Tuberculosis. The doctor says it's critical.

I'll go to her. I'll go with you.

Oh no, not now. Leave it to me to take care of her now.

If you'll give me something for her, I won't tell her.

And don't show yourself to her, it might stress her out.

Just a minute, I'll just get the money.

Your mother?

She went out. Go to heaven.

Has she gone early?

Your brother isn't here too?

I don't know about him having an overtime.

Let's talk. You know how to speak. Use your tongue. Your saliva's stale.

Your mother slapped you earlier. I saw it Corazon.

Is it because I talked to you? Why don't they like it when I talked to you?

Why are you afraid of them?

Of your mother? Of your brother Lando? What are you hiding from me?

Tell me, you know you're pretending,

you want me to leave this place but you're worried, speak to me, answer me.

Why? Why Corazon? Why?

What happened? Lorna, what's wrong?

What happened?

My blood pressure is getting high.

You bitch! Come here, Come here!

Stay here with aunt. Aunt?

You don't have the right to hurt my child!

You don't have the right to hurt me.

Enough.

You're not part of us, this is my house!

You were not even able to protect him.

The trouble is over when I arrived, you know we weren't both here.

Ma, what's that?

This is my collection and evidences, my son.

You're really stupid, why won't you fight aunt?

I would really look stupid if I suffer more in this house.

I'd be enslaved and frightened but you can't even defend me.

Lorna, wait.

If you don't want us to separate, then let's have our own place.

I can't live here with your family.

We can't afford it!

We don't have money.

We don't have savings, we both have nothing.

I'm leaving.

Where will you go?

To your mother? She already disowned you. To your father?

You'll be living with your father, but he's only living in with his mistress!

Where Lorna, with your friends in the parlor?

You'd only go back to hell that you came from! To Dory? To Ning-Ning?

Answer me!

I'm not throwing you out.

You're doing this to me, maybe because you don't love me anymore.

Why don't you tell the truth?

Lorna, remember this,

I have one bad character, different form the ones you know.

If a person doesn't like me anymore even if I love her, I won't run after her.

Remember that!

It's up to you!

She's could no longer rise from bed ever since she vomited blood.

Ma!

Child!

Choleng, let send her to hospital.

Let's ask help us. Call some people to help.

Yes.

You have my sympathy, but I'll be leaving now, okay?

Lorna, you must eat even just a little or else, you might lose your appetite.

I'm so ashamed towards you, Choleng. You're the one giving bread and coffee.

You can get over it.

My father's not yet here.

I don't see any hope of him changing.

I need my husband in times like this but he's not here.

I don't know how I could provide a decent burial for my mother.

Why don't you go to Mrs. Tupas and Mrs. Hoven?

She was doing the laundry for them when she got sick. Ask for their help.

Hey Lorna! Here's money, to help you at least.

I have asked for some help.

My friends, don't forget your share, have pity for the dead.

Don't worry, we won't forget!

Choleng, is there anything to drink?

Oh, there is, Tibo. Fill it with water.

There, half of that, is my contribution and the other half is credit. Okay?

Thank you so much Loring, I won't ever forget this.

Forget my contribution, but don't forget your debt.

After the burial of your mom, be sure to come here and work.

You have many customers waiting for you. They might transfer to another.

Okay, I'm leaving.

My goodness! She always look like as if it were a good Friday.

She's full of problems and heartaches.

Your father had just left.

I was surprised to what happened to your mother.

So, father had already brought you the news.

Your mother was so kind. I don't think I could find another laundry woman like her.

May her soul go to heaven.

Thank you so much Mrs. Tupas.

I already gave 100 to your dad, but that's all I can give.

I'm short on cash.

Oh, my father.

What was that, Lorna?

Oh, Nothing. Thank you so much again Mrs. Tupas.

- I might pass there later. - I'll be going now.

Pa...

Look, I made a gambling den, to add to your mother's burial.

Don't even just have a little shame left to yourself?

Don't you dare talk to me like that!

I just came from Mrs. Tupas, Mrs. Solven, and Mrs, Reyes.

You've not only lessened their contributions yet you've also stolen them.

And now, you even want to make money out of her death!

Enough! Okay, embarrass me in front of everybody!

What kind of a father are you? What kind of a person are you?

- You're really... - Try me!

This bitch, let me pass!

He wasn't able to help mother when she was still alive and yet,

He still treats you ill-manneredly?!

I thought you wouldn't fetch me.

If mother hadn't died, we maybe could have ended up separating.

Whether you believe it or not, when I followed you here,

I didn't know that mother had died. I was really going to fetch you.

I was only scaring you, when I said I won't run after you.

I thought I could stop you but you were not kidding.

But you know Lando, if you didn't follow me here,

Whether mother has died or not, I'll comeback to you.

Lando, can we live here?

Do you really want us to have our own place?

Let's talk about it some other time, maybe tomorrow or next week, if possible.

If we're going to renovate this house, it would cost a big amount.

You're already deeply indebted for mother's burial.

But you see, we own this house.

We can take care of it, just the two of us.

Here, our payment. Here's our house.

Tibo, put those things down.

Yes.

Let's go inside. Come inside.

Come.

Oh, why are you still here? You can leave now, Lucy and I will live here.

Oh, love, she's my daughter.

So, that's you! Hey, we have met before, don't you remember?

I was your customer with Dory, can't you remember?

Dory, the one with a handsome boyfriend, what's the name again?

Steve! That fool, be careful with him, he's a maniac!

Lucy, come inside.

Love, who's he?

He's Lando, my son-in-law.

Wow, type!

Will you please move from there?!

What if I kick you out?

Come on, can't I joke? I'm just thirsty.

Where?

Over there in the kitchen!

Lando and I will live here.

Lucy and I will also be living here. I have my rights.

I have my rights also for being the daughter.

You talk too much!

She has just been buried

and yet, you've showing the whole world that mother's death has no value to you.

I'm mourning for her, don't you see?

You're really emotional! Hey, I'm already a widow!

Lucy and I will live here to lessen our expenses for house rentals,

if you want, we can live here altogether.

Me, with my wife and you with your husband!

We're leaving! We'll go back to the house.

Here.

Thanks my dear.

Aunt please fix that carefully!

My boss in the office has noticed

that it looked as if it had just been pulled out from the chicken's anus.

I might be fined just because of that. Almost nothing left of my salary.

Because you have a big debt in the company you're working for!

You have so many cash advances.

I've also heard that your father-in-law is much stronger than a carabao.

Why didn't you let him spend for the burial of your wife's mom?

It's needed.

Needed?! You're suddenly a hero in your wife's family but you let us get hungry!

How about the money you promised me that I'll be sharing in my business with Kikay?

A promise that has been nailed?

Oh, poor Boyito, time will come when I've nothing to feed you my son, but sand.

You're teaching your son so many things!

My son? He's your son!

Tricia, are you insane?

Yes, so, you got afraid? Go ahead and shout!

You want me to shout in front of your wife?

That I'm not the only parent of that idiot?!

Stop it! Idiot!

Idiot? You're the one who made him!

What do you really want to happen?

Don't enslave me Lando!

Don't make me into trash!

If I can't stand this, I'll tell the whole world what's the real score between us!

Okay, finish that, Lorna might arrive.

Isn't your brother Lando here yet?

Why did you have to return here?

You've already gotten away from hell, but you came back.

Corazon?

Corazon?

Insane? Insane!

Why, are you sick?

Nothing. I just don't feel well.

Oh my! Poor Lando, he already has no money and now you're sick.

Lando will be happy, aunt.

Why?

I'm pregnant.

I hope it will be a junior.

- It's not the right time Lando. - What?

We're deep in debts.

When we will have our child,

the more we'll have no chance of living on our own.

It's your father's fault for causing disruptions,

just when I agreed to live in your place.

But that's okay Lorna, additional expenses,

additional attention, it's our child, we just can't throw it out.

It's a big problem.

Don't worry about it.

It's a big problem Lando.

If we have our child, I might be forced to stop from

working because we've no one to take care of him.

Just worry about it after you've given birth.

Aunt, let's eat. The food is prepared.

I'll eat later.

Corazon, hurry up, give me that.

Do you have some guests? Are you having some drinks?

No, I'll just celebrate because I'm going to have a child!

Maybe I'd be much happier if I'll see and hold him. My baby.

Aunt let's drink. Isn't it that before you used to beat father in drinking?

Later.

Insane, give me a glass.

I hope our child is normal.

I'm afraid Lando. I don't want him to be like your siblings.

Our child will be different.

Corazon and Boyito belong to aunt's bloodline.

They have abnormalities.

I'm normal because I have a different mother.

How many years do you see yourself in the parlor?

I don't know Ning-Ning. I'm worrying that when I give birth, Loring might fire me.

Maybe not.

It's a good thing that I'm still lucky. People like us don't get pregnant.

Lorna this is isn't a joke, for you to be successful you need to study more.

The only thing that you know in life is to do manicure and pedicure.

Enroll in a fashion school. Learn cosmetology and hair styling.

If only I could. If you only know what's happening in my life.

What I worked so hard for is only enough.

Exactly, what you're working for is only enough but what if you give birth?

And the children after?

My god Lorna, move while it's still early.

Plan your life, you'll only be adding more hungry mouths to feed in our world.

Your brother Lando?

Why are you up?

That crazy girl. She knew I was going in.

Give us a knock when you're done, okay?

Let's go inside.

You're both shameful!

The day will come when you will meet someone like your brother Lando.

You'll take back your words and you'll eat what you said.

This is the box of my mother.

What's that paper?

What's that paper?

Oh my, put this back to your mother's hiding place.

Don't tell your mother that you showed me all of these.

Why?

She'll spank you.

Why?

Because that's not yours, and you showed it to me.

You know what Boyito?

If your mom and Lando find out, they will get mad at you.

It's true. You're kind.

Lando it's almost sunset.

- Never mind. - Why?

My money's lacking. I wasn't able to borrow from my friend Bert.

I think we should stop this.

Lando?

I know you have evidence, and you're keeping it secretly.

In other words, let's finish this, I'll be a father soon.

You've been a father for long. Are you disowning Boyito?

I am not disowning Boyito, what I mean to say is, I just want to live normally.

Have a normal family with Lorna and the child we'll have.

I am not disowning Boyito

but I can't also declare to the world that he's my son, our son.

So what now?

I'll still continue my monetary support to you.

Is that it?

I beg your pardon?

Lower your voice someone might overhear.

It's aunt, she has a boyfriend, a secret lover.

They often date, not only in a movie house and restaurant, but in the motel as well.

How did you know?

It's because of Boyito. Oh my, it's a long story.

- Lando. - Why?

Boyito take care of Angelita, okay?

Please watch over Angelita okay?

I'll just buy something from Kikay. It won't be too long.

You shameless child! Why? You're really an animal!

Come here Boyito. You're shameless! You're an animal! I'll kill you!

Let go of my child! Why are you hurting Boyito?!

He's hurting Angelita.

So what if Boyito hurts Angelita?

Can't you really take out even one box of soap at a time? For drinking.

Father, I love my job.

If I'll steal for my family, and end up in jail, they'll starve.

I'm just kidding.

Mother, Lando! Hi big bro!

Where are you going?

At my friend Tricia, I'm just going to return these comics.

What? By the way, this is aunt Tricia

and my brother Boyito, my brother through my father.

So there's the ones. Is this the one I've heard to be crazy.

Oh aunt, my father-in-law, Lorna's father.

- At your service, Tiburcio Rosal. - Mother, he's ugly.

Let's go.

The kid's really abnormal. He sees handsome as ugly.

Your stepmother still has value, and she's still very young.

It's as if you're almost the same age.

Like she's your older sister and shit, very sexy especially when she stares.

She's a snob. Ever since father died, she never looked at another man.

She must have been a teenager when she married your father.

Let's stay here.

Lando, I think that I'll be visiting here often.

I'll court your Aunt Tricia.

Besides, I'm already a widow. I've driven away Lucy.

I haven't had women for long now.

You know Lando, I've been hit by cupid, I'll marry your stepmother.

Lorna, my child, the father you love is here.

I'm inviting you to live at the house.

I'm living all alone. Lucy is gone.

That woman is a flirt, she's been dating a taxi driver.

I beat her up before I drove her away. This place of yours is small.

Like a pigeon's house.

Back there it's spacious and airy

and near to where you're working at, and you too Lorna.

You'll be able to save bigger.

Just eat and eat then go home.

It's hard for you to reach night time here. You're not in your territory.

You couple decide rather than I get someone else to rent, I'd rather it be you.

We're going to rent our own house?

I'm just joking. You know that. I don't have a permanent job.

What I'll be asking from you is only for the pocket.

Just as long as you include me for your food, that'll be fine.

Besides, I'm your parent right?

Wait a minute. I didn't drink a pill earlier. I ran out, I wasn't able to buy.

I haven't gone back to work yet and your salary hasn't been increased.

Our debts are up to our necks.

Not now Lando, can't you sacrifice for one night only?

It's only one night.

Where are you going again?

Shower, cool myself down.

What? Do you want to eat what you vomited?

Speak up.

Solve that itch on your own.

Who's that? Do you know him Gerry?

No.

Hey, where's your mom?

Mom, an ugly guy's here!

What do you mean ugly? This kid is really good.

Ouch.

Hey Tricia. Good morning. Why? Is it painful?

Why?

He bumped his head.

Calm down, tell Lorna that I'm here.

Lorna, your ugly father is here.

Wait!

Tricia, I'm not here for Lorna.

I'm here to court you. In fact I have fried pork skin for you. Here, open it.

You're shameless!

I didn't mean to say anything bad.

Get away from me! Don't touch me! Help!

Help! Help me!

Don't!

Dad! Dad!

What have you done to me? Why did you amputate my legs?

What have you done? Tell that bitchy woman that I'll extract revenge, I'll be back.

She'll pay for this. I'm going to amputate her neck. I'm going to cut her!

What will we do?

I'll borrow some money.

Lando, because of what happened, I don't want to go back to your place yet.

Nobody's going to look after father when he comes out from the hospital.

I also don't want to see your aunt because something might happen between us.

Wherever you want to go home is up to you. It's either with them or with us.

You're thinking of so many problems,

We should prioritize the money needed for the payment here.

Screw this life.

We're the one's going into deeper and deeper debt.

Lorna, we'll be needing a lot, two legs were amputated.

You're too much, I'm not a social worker.

You're always inventing all kinds of accidents in life

just to get something from me.

Are you people from the squatter's area like that?

Because mother died, because father's legs were amputated...

The last money you got, you haven't paid yet.

You're the biggest liar.

You said you'll be back for work after giving birth.

After getting my money, you didn't even show up.

Hey wait! We're not yet through! Don't brag!

You have debts that you need to pay. We've talked about that.

Now if you don't have principles, I have. You need to work here to pay your debts.

You're talking to a person not an animal.

Lorna! Lorna!

Don't be afraid Lorna! Don't mind her, don't be afraid, she won't sue you.

She'll be afraid that this will reach to court.

I suggest you leave this kind of work.

Don't worry. I'll recommend you to my friend's parlor in EDSA.

How much do you need?

It's a shame to you Ning-Ning.

What if I pull your hair? Come, let's withdraw money from the bank.

No need. I don't know how to repay this money that I'm looking for.

I need thousands.

I'll find a way. You can get your father out of the hospital,

but I don't have a thousand.

Just try to borrow from others.

Ning-ning, I don't know who to turn to.

So you'll be staying here.

That's good to know. This house was neglected for so long.

One more thing Choleng, nobody would look after father when he leaves the hospital.

I hope he'll now be good for he already has a grandchild.

And I also hope that he'll take care of your baby while you're at work.

That's what's Lando and I are talking about.

Wait, I need to clean up this place.

My baby might have an asthma because of this dust.

So the two of you stay at my house first.

She's pitiful.

That's better. Okay, leave this place to me.

Come on!

I hope we'll be always like this, peaceful, no trouble, nobody's bothering,

No shouting, pulling each other's hair, nobody's crying, nobody's hurt.

Lorna, we'll be peaceful.

In spite of everything.

I thought you won't get me out of here.

One more day of staying in this kind of hospital,

those lunatics might amputate my two arms too.

Father, enough of that. Whatever bad words you say wouldn't bring back your legs.

Because of these foolish doctors who don't know anything but to amputate!

Fake doctors!

- Nurse, where's my medicine? - Hey! Hey! I might bump into something.

Okay, I'll go ahead. Make my legs into a bone marrow soup, you idiots!

Lorna, my grandchild doesn't have any milk.

Father, just fix her a bottle of milk.

Lando, I'll fix my grandchild a bottle of milk.

Here's my salary, there were some deductions.

The money I cash advanced from

the office and the money for aunt.

Anyway, how's your new boss? Is she okay?

Hey, I'm asking you, how's your new boss?

Fine. A very kind, quiet person.

We're treated as human beings, but she's stingy, our salaries are low.

Lorna, life's like that.

It's so hard to find a person who has all the good traits,

they're all defective, they're all lacking.

It's hot. But Lando, I know somebody who's full of defects on his entire body.

He's a good boy. Look he's fixing our baby a bottle of milk.

I'll be home late tonight, I'll just drop by the other house.

Shut up! I'm getting annoyed with your howling,

if you won't stop I'll throw you out the window.

I'll give you to a monster, he'll eat you.

Here, take your milk!

So you don't want?! Stop! You idiot!

Lando, your father-in-law is so drunk. He's shouting at your baby!

What?! Is he always like that when we're not around?

I've been trying to get the baby but he told me not to interfere.

I think he's hurting the baby!

Drink! You idiot! Drink your milk!

Here! Here! Hey what?!

You're the idiot!

- No, Lando, I won't fight you. - You demon! My baby is your grandchild!

No!

Your husband wants to kill me, Lorna.

What happened?

That idiot father of yours! We'll go back to our house.

I don't want to go back there, no one will take care of the baby.

If you want to stay there, then go ahead. I'll stay here!

What about Angelita?

Don't you worry Lando, I'll take care of Angelita. Just stop arguing.

I can't be patient with your father any longer.

This place is too small for the two of us.

Me either. I can't stay long there with your family Lando.

There's no place for me here Lorna.

Me too. I don't have place there too.

So don't you ever let your idiot father touch my baby!

Our baby.

Ours, not only yours! Shame on you!

You're only thinking of yourself Lando. Just yourself!

Nothing's important to you but yourself,

your aunt and your insane siblings! You're all insane!

You know what? I've been staying in that place for so long,

Not even once did a guy came near to buy. But now, oh my!

Maybe they were just shy to come near you.

Why would they be?

- Lando? - What?

My brother Lando is back home!

Lando, how are you?

- Where's the key of my room? - Do you have something for me?

It's in the same place. Get it there!

My big brother!

Lando, where have you been? What do you have for me?

I have something for you.

- Wait here. - Where?

Lando?

I'll stay here for the meantime to have calm myself down.

Did you have an argument?

No,

Boyito, come with me!

Tibo, Toyang said that she can't lend you because you don't pay your debts.

Don't believe that bitch! Don't mind her! Here.

- Okay. Leave. - Thanks, I guess.

Why? Don't throw that!

So you're really disregarding me?! You think that I can't notice?

You're ignoring me!

You're not saying anything!

So what's that?!

Look it's clear you're making me an animal.

What do you think of me, a dog?

Say something, I'm talking to you!

Open your mouth! You're shameless!

Who's shameless? I knew when I was still a baby...

Not once did you buy a can of milk for me.

As I grew up, I never remembered getting anything from you.

Instead I'm the one providing for you.

Oh wait, you did give a lot...

There's a lot father.

A lot of thorns here in my chest!

So many thorns, that I can't count anymore.

Why father? Who really are you?

Don't talk to me in that manner! You're unbelievable!

No, I know I've been a good child.

With all the resentment inside me,

that I've kept inside, do you know which is the most painful?

- Shut up, enough! - No, listen to me.

Why aren't babies allowed to choose their parents before they're born?

It would have been better if I wasn't born, because I was given the wrong father.

It's such a pity.

You never gave me the chance to respect, love, and take care of you.

Because I know how to respect,

I know how to love,

I know how to value a person, especially my parents.

It's a such pity.

Hey Lorna. Take a break. I'll put the finishing touches there.

- Oh, it's already finished. - Wait.

Your husband's there.

I let him enter because I know that you both need to talk.

Go ahead, take a break. I'll handle this.

For our good.

For your good.

You might be forgetting that we have a child

yet you're suggesting that we separate?

So we're separating huh?

Lando, we've been separated for a long time

and I've experienced everything in my life.

The bad's heavier than the good.

What do you want us to do to Angelita? Cut her in half?

You'll have the head and I'll have the feet. Is that it?

Is it possible for you to listen to me with an open mind?

If you can't be talked to, then let's talk some other time.

From the star, we were already being halved.

On your side, your aunt and siblings that I couldn't accept.

On my side, my father that you can't accept too.

Lando, a very good opportunity for me has arrived, a very good offer,

In the province far from here.

It's possible that we could have a new way of life.

If our fate's really here then we would have risen from hardship before.

Bear in mind the future of our child. Come with me and your child.

This evening I'll wait for you at the house if you don't arrive it'll mean...

that you don't need us anymore.

We don't need you.

You're giving me a deadline?

- Yes. - Are you intimidating me?

No, I love you.

You don't love me.

You're pressuring me.

Do you think that it's easy to change?

You sleep when you wake up, you've changed.

But I can't say that my old personality, I can easily throw and change.

I cannot just leave the person whom I'm familiar with, like my aunt and siblings.

If you see them as garbage, I can't do anything.

I'm not a hypocrite,

I can't accept your father.

Yes, he's a bad father,

a bad parent,

a bad father-in-law,

but never did I treat him as garbage.

He's a person, but a useless person.

If you love me, you won't give me a deadline

because what you want me to do isn't that easy.

If you only know Lorna...

My dad left... I don't know where he went.

I looked for him, I searched but nobody could tell me. He left me again, Lando.

What a pity. I hope aunt Tricia and my siblings would leave me too.

What a pity.

I can't leave them.

Lando, I'll wait for you tonight until midnight only.

Midnight.

What can I do, if you're really leaving us?

You thought I'd object right?

I knew this day would come.

We'd part ways, that's why I learned to earn a living.

If you want I'll be the one to give you monetary support.

I won't stop my monetary support towards you.

Thank you. So we have to celebrate, let's drink.

What?

Don't tell me that you'll embarrass me. This is my last request to you.

I want our parting to be good. Corazon, cook a special dish tonight,

The most delicious food that you can cook because your brother Lando is leaving.

This is a real farewell celebration for him.

But aunt, I need to leave before sunset because of Lorna.

Lando...

The sun is still up.

Please help me, I need money.

Hey, are you committing suicide?

Taxi?

Slowly.

Go to sleep, I'll take care of this.

What are you waiting for? Go to sleep.

Lando, this is our last night.

Have pity on me,

It's been long since...

Before you go,

I need you!

I need you! I love you!

It's only now that I've heard that from you.

You don't love me.

Because it's not the heart that we use, but our bodies.

For the pleasures of our bodies.

We got ourselves used to it, but you can still change that, right?

Can we still change everything?

You got me pregnant. Your father learned about it.

He died because of us. Boyito was conceived.

Now, when your wife doesn't want to make love, you run to me.

You're using me and I'm letting you use me.

In the dark movies, at motels,

my room, the bathroom,

the toilet, a warehouse...

In the dark corners of our home.

You were the first one to come near me, before father died.

You seduced me.

You taught me, it's not only my fault.

You also need me Lando.

I want to change, is that difficult to understand?

Enough! Enough!

Don't cry...

Lorna, not all submission means defeat.

I'll take care of Angelita. Go, see Lando. I'll take care of everything.

- Come here! - Why?

- Come here! - Why?

- Come near me! - Why?

Come near! Take a peep! Look at them!

Look at them closely! Look!

That's our secret, Lorna.

Mom and Lando have been like that for so long.

Dad died because he learned that Lando is Boyito's father.

Lorna, Lando married you because he wanted to change his life,

But mom always tempts him and he's a weakling.

If you only know what's going on in this house,

With the two of them...

You didn't know because you're not paranoid.

And that's what annoys me about you, Lorna.

You've had so many opportunities to leave from this hell but you came back!

Why? Is it because you love Lando?

Now, do you still love him?

That's our secret Lorna, it stinks. As smelly as a river.

Lorna, the river is full of dead animals floating,

there are many human feces, all the world's dirt.

I wish I wasn't born.

Because I don't like my mother.

I hate my mother!

She's bad!

I hate her!

How about you? Was your mom good? Did she also call you insane?

Lando, your house is on fire! Lando! Joey! Jojo! Get out of there!

There's fire! Get up! Ruben! Bobet! Wake up! Neighbors, there's fire!

Corazon, open the door!

Neighbors, there's a fire!

Open this! Tricia! Tricia! Tricia, the house is on fire!

Lando! Lando!

Open the door!

Lando!

We can't do anything, the fire is already big.

Lando!
