[background chatter] - Yeah!

- I wish the same for me! - You're not even in a relationship!

[background chatter]

The roasted pig is delicious!

[background chatter]

Excellent!

We're stuffing our faces with oil and cholesterol again.

Of course!

Well sometimes, we do have to get a bit oily.

You guys!

- Is it good? Are you enjoying it? - It's really good.

- Go ahead and eat guys! - Thank you!

Come on! Eat this!

- Listen, everyone! - [chattering]

On behalf of all the other godparents,

as the Captain of our Barangay,

I would like to greet Elmer and Susan once more.

[cheering, clapping]

To their union, on this very special-day...

that our loving God has given us.

The first to give their monetary gifts...

will be Elmer's parents.

That's Mister Pidyo and Miss Salve.

Next up, is Mister Narcing and Abby.

- Friend! - Cheers!

Long live the newlyweds!

Long live!

I people clapping]

[ background chatter]

Oh dear, I am so happy right now.

I think I can finally die in peace.

- Mom, you're being ridiculous! - I'm just kidding.

Of course, your father and I will be waiting for our grandchildren.

So hurry up and make that baby, alright?

- Take note of that Susan! - Elmer!

- Thanks mom. - Of course, dad.

And the house that Elmer built?

Fill it up with kids! Alright?

Dad, take it easy!

It's not like I'm giving birth to a litter of puppies.

Well, that's true...

- Have a lot of them, okay? - Take care, my son.

Thanks mom.

Thank you so much.

Susan, my dear.

I have one request.

I hope that your firstborn will be a boy.

You know that your late mother and I weren't able to bear a son.

Well, wish us luck, dad.

We'll do the best that we can.

- Elmer, take good care of Susan. - Yes, I will.

My brother-in-law looks really handsome!

My sister is so lucky to have you.

I Wish the same for me!

Hey Abby! There are a lot of other guys out there.

Look!

That's Dindo.

He's the best man and you're the maid of honor.

Maybe next time, it'll be the two of you in front of the altar.

Sorry sis, we aren't each other's types.

I bet he thinks my chest is too small. Well, it's a tie.

I bet he's just as small down there anyway.

My goodness, Abby.

Alright then! Congratulations, you two!

- Thank you! - Thank you!

You're drooling at the thought of Flor again. Aren't you?

So, will you just keep watching her from afar?

Don't be so sluggish!

There are three more months before the mourning period comes to an end.

But... don't worry, bro.

I'm...

I'm just waiting for the right time.

Really now? Good luck then.

Okay!

Susan!

I'm glad that it was you guys ended up together.

Thank you, Flor.

Ouch!

I'm sorry, did I hurt you?

No, it's okay.

Come on!

Hello, godmother!

Hello! Congratulations!

There you go!

- Best wishes to the both of you. - Thank you!

Thank you so much!

[background chatter]

In the five years I spent abroad as a seaman...

I would often do this alone on my small be a.

In the lowest parts of the ship.

Why? We've had several video calls, haven't we?

Only sometimes when I'm alone at the cabin.

Well, every once in a while...

you do have your ways.

You mean, ways of enduring it.

The video calls just weren't enough.

In my six months abroad...

we were only together for two months. It just wasn't enough!

Well, we're both enduring the same thing, aren't we?

But those days are finally over, my love.

What matters now is that...

we will never be oceans apart again.

You are such an animal, my love!

You are such an animal, my love!

You really are a sailor. What great diving skills you have.

You're just so delicious.

Delicious?

What do I taste like?

You taste like the sea.

It's like I can taste the salty waves.

It looks like they caught a lot.

No doubt, Captain.

There's so... so many!

Mom!

What is it, Elmer?

We caught so many fish! We're going to have a feast!

Salve!

Salve!

It's huge!

Careful!

Come on.

- Wait a second.

Let them go first.

- Let's go, sir. - Come on.

- Pidyo! Today was a good catch. - We sure did get a lot.

We hit the jackpot, we caught so many fish!

My goodness...

Thank you, Lord for today's blessings!

- Wow, that's huge! - It's really big!

I think Elmer's catch belongs to you!

No doubt, Captain!

They're fat, they're long...

just the way I like to choke on it!

- Is that true? - Try and choke on this one!

It's true, I swear!

- So, what's this... - Hold on, there's more.

I background chatter]

Susan!

Ma'am is calling for you.

Good morning, ma'am.

Good morning.

Oh my!

It's like you're stomach's the only thing that's growing.

You're still very sexy.

Thank you.

I don't know, but I've been eating a lot more.

Then that just means the baby IS getting all the nutrients.

By the way, when are you due?

Junior will be out in 33 days or less.

I just wanted to inform you that I already found your substitute.

So that means your last day will be on Friday, next week.

Well, yes. But...

if I undergo a normal delivery,

maybe I can just take a 90-day maternity leave.

Just like Delia.

What?

What do you mean 90 days?

The law says you're supposed to have 105.

Take all of those days off. I'll take care of it.

Okay.

It's your first baby, Susan.

Savor every moment of your motherhood.

I'm so excited for you.

Anyway, I already presented myself as the godmother, okay?

- Alright, back to work, ladies. - Yes, ma'am.

Susan.

Here is your firstborn.

He's a very nice Kid, not much of a crybaby.

And he didn't give me a hard time during childbirth either.

I actually had a quick labor.

It was as if I just went to the bathroom.

Thank you so much, Miss Concha.

You're very much welcome.

My goodness, Elmer. Congratulations!

You have a junior now.

Yahoo!

Our beloved prince has arrived.

So, should we let the elders in now?

- Yes, including Abby. - Sure.

- Okay, you can all come in now. - Come on!

- Narcing! Come on! - Walt a minute!

- Ladies first! - Come on, move faster!

- Ladies first! - Come on, move faster!

Our dear grandchild...

It's nice to meet you, my grandchild.

I am your one and only Grandma Salve!

- I love you! - Hello, my grandchild!

I'm your Grandpa Pidyo.

I'm your father's father. Look!

My name is Grandpa Narcing. I'm your mother's father!

My grandson is so handsome!

And I'm your Aunt Abby!

Your mommy's little adorable sister!

And your one and only aunt.

Hello there, handsome little one!

My grandson is cute, huh?

He's my grandson too!

Oops!

So cute!

Let me take a look at you down there.

- Hey! - Don't molest the baby.

Hello! I'm a nursing student!

No malice there.

I just wanted to know if he's as big as Elmer...

You're so naughty!

Please, I got it from you!

Elmer, Susan, what's the nickname of my grandchild?

Is it Jun jun, or Junior?

- EJ? - Jack!

What? Jack?

Jack?

Didn't we agree that the name on his birth certificate would be Elmer John?

We also agreed to remove the “Junior”.

Right!

I agreed to naming him Elmer John.

So the nickname for “John” will be Jack.

Okay, Jack.

Not EJ, or Junior.

And definitely not Jun jun, or Jun.

Jack.

You will all get used to it eventually.

- Alright then. - Jack it is.

- Hello Jack! - Hello!

Oh no...

There's something off about the baby's color...

- I don't think he's breathing! - Let's take him to the hospital!

- Elmer, come on, let's go! - Narcing, faster!

Elmer, hurry up!

Elmer, hurry up!

- Quickly! Let's go! - My son! I

Move faster, guys!

My son...

My condolences, to the both of you.

However Susan...

It's only August.

“Your maternity leave isn't over yet.

I just came here to accompany my midwife, this is Miss Concha.

I'm sorry, godmother. She couldn't be stopped, so I just went along.

We're just here to file the...

We're just here to file the...

birth and death certificate of our child.

The documents don't indicate a fatal death because...

my son was born alive.

My son was born alive.

"Elmer John Tinio Gaviola” is...

“"Elmer John Tinio Gaviola” is...

my son's full name.

I'm already in uniform because...

I kind of wanted to...

handle Miss Concha myself.

It's the least I can do to honor my child's memory.

You know, it's too bad that we...

we weren't able to have at least one photo as a family.

But luckily, my sister was able to take a solo shot of him.

But luckily, my sister was able to take a solo shot of him.

I have it right here.

I have it right here.

That's... Elmer John Tinio Gaviola.

That's... Elmer John Tinio Gaviola.

My love, you haven't been getting up or eating for two days.

At least have some food in your system.

SIS...

Please eat.

At least take a bite of this apple.

If you don't like apples...

There are oranges and a lot of other fruits inside the fridge.

Miss Salve and Mister Pidyo brought them earlier.

Do you want me to get them for you, sis?

Do you want me to get them for you, sis?

Don't worry Abby.

She still drinks water when she feels thirsty.

Abby, you and your dad should go ahead.

You still have school tomorrow morning.

Don't worry, I'll make sure she eats these apples later.

Dad...

Are we going fishing later at dawn?

Elmer, we'll be on our way.

Susan, my dear...

Please take care of yourself.

Be strong.

Your sister and I are here for you.

And don't forget that...

we love you very much.

Okay Elmer, we'll get going.

I know that you'll take good care of my sister.

SIS...

We're heading home, alright?

Thanks for the visit.

Please lock the door on your way out.

- Okay. - Okay, Elmer.

It's almost 4 AM!

The sun might beat us to the sea.

Pidyo, what's taking your son so long?

- There he is! - He's here.

Dad, I'm sorry. But I won't be joining you guys anymore.

Why?

I Can't leave Susan alone.

But isn't your mom with her at the house?

Yes she is. I was really going to come with you.

But on my way here,

I thought about how I might worry too much at sea.

I'll just bring bad luck.

Is that so?

Okay, just watch over your wife. We'll take it from here.

Thanks dad. Mister Narcing! Dindo!

- We can handle it, bro! - Elmer! Take care of Susan.

Thank you.

Go on Elmer!

Take care of your wife.

- Pidyo! - Yeah!

Come on, let's go!

You stayed behind?

My wife needs me here.

You're right, she'll be glad to see you here when she wakes up.

Mom, we have hot dogs, beef cuts, and even milk fish in the fridge.

Why did you still cook dried fish?

I went to the store last night and bought dried fish.

Because the chocolate rice porridge won't be complete without dried fish!

In fact, Narcing told me that

dried fish is one of Susan's favorite food for breakfast...

especially when she feels sick.

Susan isn't sick.

You know...

One's heavy grief doesn't stray afar from heart diseases.

If not properly cared for, the illness might find its way to the brain.

So, Elmer...

Please take good care of your wife.

Make her happy, comfort her, entertain her— do everything!

So that Susan will be happy.

Fill her with all your love!

Fill her with all your love!

That's why I didn't go out to sea.

That's why I didn't go out to sea.

Bring this to her.

Bring this to her.

Sure thing.

Well...

Since you didn't head out to sea,

I think you can take over from here.

Mom, wait...

How are things at the cooperative?

It has been delayed for ten days!

You know that my installed payment for the boat is due next week.

And you do know that I loaned it from the bank, right?

And you do know that I loaned it from the bank, right?

Hold on!

How long is the installment period? Two years?

Three.

But I've only been paying for nine months.

I used to be able to pay with what I earn from fishing.

But business has been quite slow since last month.

You know, I did notice that skip jack tuna fish have weakened in numbers.

You all keep catching long-jawed mackerels!

The mackerels are quite small like sardines.

The mackerels are quite small like sardines.

Exactly. And their selling price at the market is just as low.

I'll reduce the number of people in my crew.

I have to let go of two, I can't afford to pay them anymore.

Don't worry, son.

I'll make a call to the cooperative and...

I'll keep pestering them about your concern.

Okay mom. Thank you.

Love...

Good morning, my love!

Mom cooked up your favorite breakfast.

Do you want me to feed you?

You know what...

this stuff wasn't allowed on board.

Have you ever had sex with someone whose...

vagina smelled like dried fish?

What kind of question is that? Of course not!

Really?

I promise, love. I never had sex with anyone, but you.

You know...

it's not a problem with me if...

you did it when you were younger.

As long as you used a condom!

But now that we're married...

don't even try!

I'll cut that thing off.

Do you remember back when...

- we were 147 - What about it?

- I'd come by your house just to see you. - Hey!

I didn't touch any other vagina except yours.

Is that true?

Because...

How many cities in Europe have you visited?

Because for all I know, sea men are...

patrons of prostitutes.

Have you ever tasted... a woman of a different nationality?

Nope.

- I Just do it myself. - Stop that!

My love, you are just so sweet!

How many times do I have to tell you?

I'm all yours.

You taste like chocolate rice porridge and dried fish.

Duh! Of course.

Come on.

I guess you're my breakfast in bed.

No way!

I'm not in the mood.

And...

your mother is just downstairs at the kitchen.

What my mom told me was...

to make you happy,

and fill you with love.

I still don't want to!

I haven't even showered since yesterday.

And besides...

It might smell like fish sauce down there.

At least it's not dried fish.

Stop that!

Let's go downstairs.

Come on, I'll give you a shower.

Come on, let's go out.

Where are we going?

Anywhere you want!

There's a new resort nearby.

It's only 30 minutes away.

We'll be there by sunset.

Which is why...

we'll be staying overnight.

So that we can make the most of it.

I don't want to go out.

My body isn't ready to yet.

I'm hungry.

I didn't eat breakfast yet.

Why?

Why?

Did we run out of chocolate porridge?

You are what I want for breakfast.

I just didn't want to bother you.

What?

Can I... eat you while you read?

Just keep reading!

It's up to you.

But my boobs are off limits!

But my boobs are off limits!

And stay down there.

I still want to finish reading my pocket book.

I still want to finish reading my pocket book.

There are like eight pages left.

Is it a happy ending?

Well, usually it is.

Okay.

Let's see who can give a happy ending first.

Sure!

Hey! Don't pull down my underwear.

You're only allowed to use your teeth, and...

no fingering.

But there should be a bet.

A bet?

What kind of bet?

If I give you a happy ending first...

we'll eat lunch together.

Even if you don't like mom's cooking.

We'll endure it together. Alright?

What's for lunch?

Secret!

Secret!

But ever since I was a kid,

I never liked her cooking. I'm too embarrassed to tell her.

But later on, we'll endure it together. Okay?

I think, I changed my mind.

So?

Game?

Okay, fine!

Not bad.

We finished the food.

Mom made it work with MSG.

Just a moment.

I'll Just go change my underwear...

since you got It wet.

Okay.

Do you want me to play some music?

No thanks.

You know what,

if I only knew how to play the guitar and sing...

I'd serenade you in broad daylight!

Hey, where are you going?

Hold on, wait up!

Do you really want to make me happy?

You know what,

I haven't told you all of mom's advice yet.

Apart from making you happy,

- and filling you with love... - What else?

She also told me to take care of you,

to entertain you,

and to make you happy.

What are you talking about?

That's exactly what you've been doing. Right?

And why don't you relax?

Timeout!

We've had two rounds already.

That isn't enough.

For as long as you're in this room,

I'll keep riding you until you get pregnant again!

- I guess that's your only talent. - What?

Sex!

Well, at least I'm talented.

When I was on vacation two years ago, I got Susan pregnant.

Her stomach was already swollen at just six weeks.

But three days before she turned 24, we lost the baby.

My goodness...

That's why I asked her to marry me a bit early.

It was to make her happy on her birthday.

It's because I saw how depressed she was when we lost our first baby.

So that's why it was advanced! Jack wasn't the first baby.

Which is why I'm twice as worried about her now.

Then she should get back to her job!

It's about time she starts working again...

SO she can stop moping around your room.

SO she can stop moping around your room.

And also for you,

And also for you,

to start fishing again.

Elmer.

We're short on staff.

I just fired two people.

And your friend Dindo?

He moves so slow!

He moves like a zombie.

So mom, how was the co-op?

So mom, how was the co-op?

I wasn't able to go yesterday.

When I went there earlier, the secretary told me that...

the cheques have not been signed yet.

She says her boss is at Taiwan,

and that he won't be back until next week.

- Vacation, huh? - Is that the case?

Dad, I better get going. I have to get home to my wife.

Dad, I better get going. I have to get home to my wife.

Make it quick.

Make it quick.

Who knows what Susan might do to herself.

Have you forgotten?

When you guys broke up...

during your first year in college?

She tried to hang herself!

Luckily, her father was there to save her.

Dad, please don't bring that up.

Dad, please don't bring that up.

- Seriously? - I'll be going home.

- Okay. - Hold on, Elmer, I made some adobo.

Eat this for dinner, alright?

- Thanks, mom. - Okay.

Be safe.

- Uh, dad... - What is it?

Instead of fishing for three days a week...

what do you think about doing it for five?

Let's fish everyday and then rest for for two days.

What?

Well, both you and Dindo can handle it.

But Narcing and I can't.

And Elmer, even if we go out to sea every day...

if our boats are just going to be blocked by those...

ships from those Chinese men.

We won't be able to bring back the many fish we caught.

They seized our territories, and the resources at sea.

Damn those guys!

- Go on! - Okay then...

- Go on! - Okay then...

- Mom, dad, I'll be on my way. - Okay.

- Take care of Susan. - I will, dad.

- Elmer! You're out late. - Good evening!

I guess I'm the only one who remembered.

What kind of father are you?

Today is Jack's ninth.

What?

Isn't it tomorrow?

Wrong.

Today marks the ninth day since we lost our child.

Today marks the ninth day since we lost our child.

The count started on the first day of his passing.

Today is the ninth.

Today is the ninth.

And tomorrow is the tenth.

Is that how it works?

I really thought it wasn't until tomorrow.

I'm sorry, love.

I've already asked for forgiveness from our child.

But I hope that you'll pray for him later.

Yes.

We'll be having a novena.

Well actually...

His ninth day just crossed my mind too.

Do you know why?

Do you?

When I woke up,

I was filled with...

my breasts were full of milk.

So I thought that maybe...

Jack was hungry.

Maybe our baby was hungry,

what if he was starving?

That maybe I...

Maybe I needed to breastfeed him.

We have to feed him!

My love...

Listen to me.

There is no such thing as hunger in heaven.

There is none.

Up in heaven,

everyone Is...

everyone Is...

filled with God's love.

I'm sorry about that, okay? Dad and I had a lot to talk about.

But mom cooked dinner for us.

Your mom's cooking is good.

Tell her I said thanks.

I will.

It's a good thing you came out of that room.

Do you want me to take you out tomorrow?

I don't know.

I think I'll be staying here.

Just staring at the sea.

Okay.

Baby steps.

Baby steps.

I know...

what you mean by "baby steps”.

But, I'm sorry.

It just hurts to think that...

we never got to see our child setting foot in the sand.

Love, what if you go back to work?

Cancel your maternity leave.

I could do that...

It might help with the anxiety here at home.

But what about my substitute?

Then maybe our godmother can find a way.

Talk to her!

Sure, but...

if it's possible, it won't happen overnight.

It's not that I'm rushing you, okay?

But if you want to keep sulking in our room...

I will still take care of you. No problem!

- Thank you, my love. - However...

don't complain if I ride you every now and then.

When did I ever complain?

When I was pregnant and as round as a tadpole...

that didn't stop you!

Did I ever complain about that?

What about the time when I was nearly due?

That didn't stop you either.

How many times do I have to tell you?

I will never, ever, get enough of you!

Mark my words.

Catch me if you can.

Hey, what are you doing?

Wow, it smells like chocolate rice porridge!

You're in big trouble!

You know what,

I just remembered what I said the other day.

That...

you had no other talent besides sex.

I know that.

But you're happy with my talent, right?

But I guess I'm wrong.

Who know you were good at playing the piano?

What?

Remember?

Didn't you play with a piano at school?

Back when we were in elementary!

That wasn't a piano.

And pianos are basically for the rich.

Organ electronic keyboard.

I used to borrow it from my music teacher.

I haven't played in a long time. I wonder if I still know how.

Wait, what was the name of...

your music teacher?

Mrs. Rockwell?

Yes! She was the same English teacher that...

that...

has a big behind?

I remembered something, I think I haven't told you this.

'II She was like, "Elmer

"Always play your instrument everyday!"

And then I said to her,

"Yes ma'am, I always play my organ everyday!”

She was actually giggling!

Mind you, for two straight minutes!

She was laughing so hard that she couldn't even breathe!

I Was scared that she'd suffer a heart attack.

Hey sis!

- Abby! - You guys were here all along!

I kept knocking at your door.

I just thought that you guys were in the bedroom, you know?

Free from any disturbance.

I thought I heard the bed creaking when I stood by the window.

It got me thinking...

I wish everyone had someone to have sex with every Sunday morning!

Turns out It was just my imagination.

Good thing I decided to drop by over here.

Hi Elmer!

Hi Abby!

Did you really come here to visit me?

Or are you here for your brother-in-law?

Both!

But mostly you, of course.

You know what,

I received a call from our godmother, Miss Pearly.

She said that the Vice Mayor approved of switching me with my substitute.

Which means...

I still have 12 more days of vacation.

That's fine!

Continue your second honeymoon!

Go ahead and make another baby.

I'm rooting for you, Elmer!

Dive into my sister like the great sailor you are!

Wait a second, Abby.

Have you ever caught the two of us having sex?

Sometimes...

But not intentionally.

Unbelievable, Abby!

Hold on, Abby. Where’s your dad?? Why isn't he with you?

- Well... - He's been coughing.

Yesterday, he got caught by the rain at sea.

Just a while ago, he couldn't even get up.

You know what?

You're an idiot.

Your “patient” is sick,

and you keep roaming around!

You should be taking care of him.

What are you talking about sis?

Calm down! I'm just a nursing student.

Besides, I already fed dad and gave him some cough syrup.

He's asleep.

He'll wake up in a few hours.

Okay, we'll visit him later.

Maybe around 4 PM?

Sure! He'd be delighted.

Oh, by the way. I brought us some apples,

One for you!

- One for you! - Nice!

And one for me!

This is good.

- Hey! T's Susan! - Walt a sec...

Come on!

Susan! Welcome back!

- We missed you so much! - I missed you guys too.

Hi Susan!

- How are you? - This is for you.

- Oh, thank you! - Hey, it's Ma'am!

Susan! Welcome back! Good to see you.

Nice to be back.

Thank you for helping me, by the way.

Of course!

It's the least I could do for my godchild.

How are you, Susan?

I'm fine! What about you ladies? How have you all been?

We're fine as well.

Okay Delia,

please guide Susan to her table.

Susan, I have to talk to Mrs. Cruz in another office.

By 11, we'll be heading to the Vice Mayor's office.

- We'll drop by to express our thanks. - Yes Ma'am.

Come on, Susan!

We have a surprise for you.

Aw, you guys are so sweet!

Of course!

We'll be right here when you need anything!

Miss Delia?

What is It?

I have a favor to ask.

I was wondering if...

you can get me an original copy of my son's birth and death certificate.

Why? Do you need them?

I Just want to...

see. ..

Touch...

and at least feel his presence.

Okay, wait here.

My goodness, Elmer.

Is there really no more yellowfin tuna?

The problem is that my customers are looking for yellowfin tuna at the market!

You're only catching sardines, and just a few at that.

What profit can we make from that?

But mom, sardines sell well in the market, right?

Yeah right, but they sell for the cheapest.

We're losing in terms of price and consumption.

Salve.

Don't take it out on your son.

We could barely move at sea.

It's Because those Chinese ships...

They've been hogging all the fish at the West Philippine Sea.

Oh no...

Go .on, Flor.

Accompany your godmother and try to sell stuff at the market.

Hey, here's this fish!

Mom, Dad.

Elmer.

God bless.

This is all of it?

Why are you even surprised?

My due date is the day after tomorrow. How'll I be able to pay for it?

Well, it was wrong of you to buy a boat that big!

You should've gone for a smaller one.

But dad, weren't you the one who told me to buy a boat?

I just followed your advice!

What?!

Wasn't your first plan to buy a jeepney?

Then we'd take turns driving it for public transportation?

But then you said the government was planning to phase out the jeepneys!

That's why I bought a boat instead.

But I didn't tell you to buy one that big!

It costs twice as much!

The gasoline consumption even tripled!

Then you even had the guts to give your father-in-law a job?

Including your best friend, Dindo?

Along with the rest of your other friends?

- Is that bad? - Yes!

Stop blaming each other! You won't get anywhere with that!

Mom, what about co-op? Where's my cheque?

Their boss is still a no-show.

That stupid boss of theirs. He's been on vacation for a month!

- Damn this... - Hey!

That damn idiot!

Mom, do you think the manager will finally be there?

I sure hope so.

Hilda. Any news from your boss?

I still haven't heard from him.

We also couldn't contact anyone in his family.

What do you mean?

Mom, step aside.

When was the last time you spoke to him?

Uh... It was three weeks ago.

What you guys are doing is-wrong!

Just return the money that we've invested!

- But sir... - Tell me the truth.

Is your boss not coming back because he ran off with my money?

And why are you working alone in this office?

Where are your colleagues?

They haven't been showing up anymore.

They haven't been showing up anymore.

Because it's been a month and a half since the last time we got paid.

Goddammit! We got scammed.

Listen up, Hilda!

Listen up, Hilda!

Tell your boss to show up before we kill each other!

Sir, please calm down...

What do you mean, calm down?!

I invested half a million pesos!

It was the fruit of my labor as a seaman!

That was from my blood and sweat!

Don't curse at me!

- Oh my goodness! - No, don't!

You son of a bitch!

My son is an investor in this cooperative. Do you get that?

He poured his blood and sweat into this!

He did everything to come up with the money, and this is how you treat him?

Have some decency, you imbecile!

No, don't shoot! Please have mercy!

I'm sorry, ma'am.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

Stupid security guard!

You're even going to pull out your gun?

Sir, I was just bluffing...

But you pointed it at us! I'm going to sue you!

I'm going to sue all of you!

Oh god...

- Mom? - I can't breathe.

Mom!

- Hi Susan! - HI Susan!

- Good evening! - Hey, have you heard?

I've heard about a rumor on the way here!

My goodness! I think it's true!

Love?

Why are you drinking?

Why are you crying?

Mom's at the hospital, she suffered a heart attack.

What? What happened?

We went to the cooperative this morning.

And we discovered...

It turns out that It was all a scam.

What?

I thought you were collecting the funds from your dividend.

Their boss is in hiding.

His secretary couldn't contact him.

They couldn't even reach his family either.

They couldn't even reach his family either.

My goodness...

My anger got the best of me.

I punched the lights out of their security guard!

He pulled out a gun.

Did he shoot?

- Did he? - No, the secretary stopped him.

- Did he? - No, the secretary stopped him.

But that...

that didn't stop me.

What do you mean?

I charged towards him, and that's when mom collapsed.

Good thing there is a nearest hospital...

How is she doing?

They said she was in critical condition.

But she's stable, although she's not in the ICU, but dad's looking after her.

Oh my...

Don't worry, she'll be fine!

We'll pray for her.

Okay? She'll be fine!

How am I going to pay for the hospital bill when I just got scammed?

Where am I going to get the money?

We'll find a way.

My mom had to suffer from my own problems!

I don't want to lose her! I don't want to lose my mom!

We'll find a way.

I'll give you my salary!

A lot of people owe you!

Everything is just...

this is all too heavy.

You know how our son just died,

and we have a lot more problems that came crashing down at the same time!

What did I do wrong?

Just relax.

- Don't worry! - I don't know what to do anymore.

Relax, okay?

Come on.

Careful.

Take it easy.

My mom... I don't know what to do!

I don't want to lose her.

Listen, my love.

When we lost our child,

you took care of me like a baby for an entire month.

I Was able to overcome my depressive state,

because you took good care of me.

You comforted me,

entertained me,

and you made me feel so happy and full of love.

Because of your perseverance,

I became brave enough...

to get back on my feet.

You and I will never give up.

Now at your weakest,

I will try to be strong...

for the both of us.

It's my turn now.

Good morning, my love!

Breakfast in bed?

Mhm...

I made you your favorite breakfast!

Do you...

do you want me to eat you?

I mean... Do you want me to feed you?

I also made you coffee.

It's for your hangover.

Thank you.

You really are the best.

I'm sorry.

I really wanted to stay here with you today.

But I have to go to work.

It's okay.

I have to take over for my dad at the hospital.

But...

I'm really having second thoughts about it.

What if I skip work today?

So that I can be with you today.

What do you think, love?

If you want me to, just say so!

No, you don't have to. You just returned to work.

Besides, what would our godmother think?

I know!

Let's just have a quickie.

No, you might be late for work.

Aw, come on!

Put this hot dog inside me.

What?

Come on!

Elmer! Are you there?

It's Dindo.

Damn that Dindo.

What a nuisance!

We'll have coffee downstairs. Alright?

Okay now.

I have to go.

Take care, Susan!

- Lei's move faster because my nails are... - Yes, Captain!

In desperate need of cleaning!

- My goodness, do you always need a- - Hey Susan!

Susan!

- Well someone's having a bad day... - She just walked past us.

Bro, I think your wife is mad about something.

Did you guys fight?

There's just a small problem.

I know that your problem isn't so small.

I've heard the news from Captain Tetay.

How's your mom doing?

Well, last time I checked they gave her an oxygen tank.

Your dad's with her?

Yeah, but I will be switching with him later.

What can I do to help?

I can look after her at the hospital too.

Maybe on a different day.

I'll find out how she's really doing later.

What about the expenses?

Flor?

Flor? It's Dindo!

Wait a sec!

Hold on.

Have you heard about what happened to Elmer's mom?

Yeah, I've hear. Actually, I'm going to visit her later.

Why don't you come inside for a bit?

Um...

- Have a seat. - Thanks.

So, you already know about how Elmer got scammed?

Yeah. Crazy, right?

Those scammers are pure evil.

What a nuisance!

Well, with everything that's happening right now...

Elmer seems to be struggling financially.

Mainly, because of the hospital bill.

Well, of course.

He gave me a list of people who owe him money.

Sorry for the sudden notice.

But your name is on the list.

Well, I'm on the list too.

Actually, it's right next to yours. Sweet, right?

And you really came to me first?

It's too early for this!

Don't worry. I never forget what I owe him.

Although, it's already been a year.

I was able to make a deposit once... but that was a long time ago.

Not a single deposit followed after.

You do know about my current situation, right?

I have no one else to rely on.

Yeah, I understand.

Well...

If only I could help you, I would've done something already.

Don't mind me, I'm fine.

We all have burdens to carry.

That's what I want to do!

You know, to help you carry your heavy load.

Dindo, I didn't think you'd be the teasing type.

Well, sometimes.

But I guess I'm more of the shy type.

Flor, I better get going.

You can go and talk to Elmer yourself.

Sure! I still have to finish my bath.

Okay, I'll close the door on my way out.

Oh!

Elmer! Thank goodness I caught up to you.

Hello, godmother.

Are you going to the hospital?

Yes. I'll be switching with dad.

Ah, okay.

You know, it pains me to think of what happened to you and your mother.

The truth is, I'm an investor too.

Really?

Yes.

It was your mom who convinced me to make an investment.

Luckily...

It was no more than 50 thousand pesos.

Unlike yours.

Can we sue their president?

Definitely!

All officers will be held accountable.

Wait...

Is it true that...

the security guard pulled out a gun,

and it's the reason why your mom had a heart attack?

My goodness. Sue him!

Do you need a lawyer?

Yes. But, I need to get to the hospital first.

Sure. I might drop by tomorrow.

Please take this. I want to help.

Thank you so much.

Godmother!

Maybe you know someone who might be interested.

It's my wedding watch. I've had it for less than a year.

It's good as new.

How much does this cost?

I'll just send you a text about the price.

Oh, okay.

Leave It to me.

- Take care! - Thank you.

I've been waiting for hours.

I'm here now.

Did you see what happened to her?

Yeah, yesterday.

Don't be sarcastic.

This is your fault!

She wouldn't have had a heart attack if you kept your cool.

You dragged her into your mess.

Dad, she was involved from the start!

She was the one who convinced me to make that investment.

I asked her a million times if that co-op was legitimate.

She was just so convinced by her classmate who was their high school valedictorian...

Shut up! If your mom hears us...

Do you not have a conscience? What kind of son are you?

You ungrateful piece of shit!

I just protected her! The security guard threatened us with a gun.

I bet if you were there, you would've done worse!

- Get out of here! - Sir, that's enough.

That's enough.

Mom?

Thank goodness, you're finally awake.

I'm sorry. I let my emotions get the best of me.

I'm so sorry, mom.

- Elmer? - Hey Flor.

You arrived just in time.

- Have a seat. - Is godmother awake?

I bet she'd be happy to see you.

I suggest that you talk to her so that her heart's condition will improve.

Godmother...

Get well soon, okay?

- Thanks for visiting her. - Oh, it's nothing.

I owe you and your family a lot.

And your mom is basically a mother to me too.

Yeah. It's like how the two of us are kind of like siblings too.

Oh, aren't you going to eat?

It seems a bit unfair to feed me noodles, while you just had water.

Because it's almost lunch time.

I Still have to meet Susan.

Oh, I almost forgot. Dindo dropped by this morning.

It's about my debt.

Don't worry about it. I understand your current situation.

He even told me to write your name next to his.

You know how it is!

Geez!

Your best man is so weak!

You know what...

I was already naked in front of him, but he still didn't make a move!

Let him be. I'll accompany you on the way out.

I'll drop by the hospital later.

Now's not a good time.

You might bump into my dad.

He might lash out on .you.

Well, that's kind of harsh. Why though?

It's not your fault that you got scammed.

Besides...

I'm just as hot-headed today.

I didn't get to enjoy any hot dogs this morning.

This is Dindo's fault!

Wrong timing.

They have hot dogs here. Do you want me to order one?

No thanks. It's not home-cooked.

Does that make it any different?

Trust me, it does.

It has to have my horny spirit.

I know, finger me!

I can't reach you.

And it would be way too obvious. Your colleagues might notice.

Hi Susan!

Susan's sitting over there, guys.

So how?

I'll use my foot. Don't worry, my socks are clean.

Who the hell is this...

Hello, godmother?

Yes. He's here; we just ate lunch.

Okay. We'll get going.

So annoying.

Good afternoon, sir.

Oh, Ms. Pearly! And... oh!

Susan! Nice to see you again.

Take a seat. You can sit right here.

By the way, this is Elmer.

Susan's husband.

I'm a godparent at their wedding.

That's why I'm very concerned I about their welfare.

I'm sorry, sir. But I have to get going.

I still have a meeting -at the Mayor's office.

I will be leaving them in your care.

Sure thing.

I'll take it from here. Thank you, Miss Pearly.

- Thank you, godmother. - Take care, godmother.

What's your name again?

I'm Elmer, sir.

Aren't you the seaman?

Yes, sir.

Sea-womanizer!

No, no, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

So it was you who got swindled.

Well, that cooperative is heartless!

They pretended to be the cooperative, but as it turns out they were scammers.

That's the problem, sir.

That's the problem, sir.

I hope that you can help my husband and his mother

to get the justice that they deserve.

Don't you worry.

I'll see what I can do, Susan.

It's a shame that you and your mother had to go through that, Elmer.

- Here.

Elmer.

How was your meeting with the Vice Mayor?

That pathetic Vice Mayor is obviously such a pervert!

He had the audacity to look at my wife that way!

I wanted to slap his stupid face.

Really?

My time was wasted. And my day got ruined.

He didn't even promise any form of help?

Oh there were promises alright. But actual help?

None.

He said he'd call the hospital, and that they'd give us a big discount.

Well, maybe it's true.

So what about co-op?

They said they've alerted the NBI.

Apparently they wanted to check the office.

Such a big “help”.

The only thing they'll find there is a security guard and a secretary.

Stupid Vice Mayor. I want to beat his face up so bad!

Oh, Elmer.

Oh, it's you Abby. Come on, have a seat.

I mistook you for a nurse here.

Not yet! Maybe in...

two more years.

Thanks for visiting.

Unfortunately, mom's asleep.

It's okay...

Because you're here.

Um...

Is my sister going to drop by?

Nope. I told her now's not a good time.

That's great.

It's because I only have two apples.

One for you...

And one for me.

Thanks.

What's this?

It's from the Vice Mayor. Five thousand pesos.

When did he give this to you?

Right when you left. He asked me to come back to his office.

You know what?

If we weren't in a tough spot right now,

I'd tear this cash Into shreds.

Love, you're overreacting!

- Wait, hold on. Are you jealous? - Why? Is there a reason to be?

None. Zero!

Do you think I'd introduce you to that ugly freak if I was into him?

I don't know.

Maybe he gave you the cash in return because something happened in his office.

Screw you, Elmer!

I am not a whore.

I flirt with you a lot, but I've never flirted with other men!

I'm sorry, my love.

I was just taken aback.

I love you.

I love you too.

Love.

Sir, here's the contact number of the person looking for you.

They want to talk to you. They said it's an emergency.

Hilda? The secretary from the cooperative.

She says if you don't give them a call, they'll sue you.

It's quite urgent.

Oh, and by the way sir...

a lot of people are looking for you.

- Okay. You can go now. - Okay, sir. I'll be on my way.

Jose Duque was found dead.

He was the president of Zambales' Merchant Marine and Fisheries Cooperative.

According to the police, he shot himself in the head.

The authorities have been hunting him down for weeks.

Walk slowly.

Vegetables for sale!

- Flor, you go first. - Okay.

There.

Alright...

Take one step.

- GO slow! - Take it easy, godmother.

Don't rush.

- Flor, go a he a a. - Okay. I'll go first.

Okay.

There you go.

Come on.

There you go...

Do you feel comfortable in your spot right now?

Yes Flor, thank you.

- Okay then. - Do you want some water?

Thanks. I'll be taking a nap.

Where's Elmer?

I don't know.

We don't talk anymore.

- [men chattering] - Hold on a minute.

- You want to sleep beside me? - That's not possible.

I can give you more of that.

- Elmer! Hey man! - Hey there! How's it been?

Oh nothing. We're just drinking with your former crew mates.

Wait, hold on! Elmer! Take a shot.

- Thanks, but no thanks. - By the way, Elmer...

I met someone around the area who's interested in buying your boat.

He'll be using it for business and tourists.

Bro, the boat is pawned by the bank.

That's why someone's going to retrieve it.

It would be a waste if the bank took it.

You're drunk, bro. Let's continue talking when you're sober.

Wait, hold on.

Look, I'm just an agent.

Bro, you're wasted.

Just a friendly reminder that you still owe me two thousand pesos.

Can you believe this jerk?

I'm just trying to help out, but he's being a complete jerk!

Hey, stop! You bastards!

Stop it!

Hey! Don't leave me here!

Hey! Why didn't you stop them?

Just go home!

Elmer! Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Ouch!

The guy who punched you... wasn't that your cousin?

He's my dad's nephew.

He's so full of himself, I never should've talked to him.

The guys that were with him... weren't they part of your fishing crew?

Those ungrateful idiots.

Maybe they were angry because you fired them.

There are lots of people like them.

When you don't have the money...

or when you're no longer of use to them, they"ll drop you immediately.

Right.

And now you're the bad guy.

Just like my dad.

He blames me for what happened to my mom.

You wouldn't believe the things he said to me.

Luckily, my mom was asleep.

Aren't you going to visit your mother?

Just let me know if my dad's not home.

But...

I hope you patch things up with your dad.

By the way, the doctor said that...

if...

your mom doesn't get a heart transplant...

the chances of her living a long life are quite low.

That's why...

she really...

needs it.

Or else...

we'd be lucky if...

she were to live another year.

Wait a second.

I don't think I can betray my wife.

Just close your eyes, and imagine that you're having sex with her.

And I'll do the same.

Hey! Wake up, you son of a bitch.

- What's wrong, love? - What the hell happened to you?

Nothing.

Bullshit!

Who patched you up?

No one! I did. I did it myself.

Are you seriously playing dumb?

Your neck smells weird!

And your dick smells like a vagina!

You reek of dried semen! You didn't bother to wash yourself!

My love, it's not what you think!

It's nothing!

Liar! You cheated on me!

No! There is no other woman.

Are you seriously still playing dumb?

You're not going to come clean?

No, I swear! There is no other girl. You're the only one.

It's just you, I promise! I...

You lying piece of shit!

Damn you! You're such a lying pig!

I'm going to kill you!

You son of a bitch...

How dare you...

Do you really have to resign?

I'm sorry, Ma'am. But I really need to keep an eye on my husband.

Susan!

You whore!

You animal!

- Ouch! Stop it! - Damn you!

Susan! What's going on?!

- How dare you! - What did your sister do to you?

Why don't you go ask her dad?

You bitch...

Sis, I didn't do anything wrong.

You seriously have the guts to act all innocent?

From now on...

don't you dare expect me to pay for your tuition fee.

Have you no shame?

Why bother studying...

If you just wanted to be a whore this whole time?

- Sis, I don't understand a single thing... - Liar!

- Susan, that's enough! - Fine! I’ll spell it out for you.

Stay away from my husband!

Because if you don't,

I'll cut off your clitoris,

I'll destroy your uterus,

And I'll hang you upside down at the plaza.

So that others won't follow your example!

Susan, that's enough!

Here's the receipt of my payment for your boat.

- I'll be on my way. Thanks. - Okay then.

Godmother, what about those who still owe me in the village?

Am I allowed to confiscate their belongings?

No, you can't do that, Elmer.

Especially since you don't have any evidence that you lent them money.

I'll just pawn my house.

- Are there no other options? - That is my last option.

I'll go.

Poor guy.

It's over.

Even it they arrest the officers from co-op...

I still won't get my money back.

Bro, I've told you this a thousand times.

Go back to being a seaman!

I guarantee that you'll get back on track!

And then what? They'll come running to me for money again?

Hey!

To everyone who still owes me money, listen up!

That money was borrowed!

I didn't give it away! I worked my ass off for that!

Learn to pay your debts!

Now that I'm the one in need,

it seems like you want me to beg for you help!

You should all be ashamed of yourselves!

Damn all of you!

Hey Captain...

What happened to Elmer IS such a pity. Don't you think?

- It's like he's gone crazy. - Bro!

- Just let them be! - You're right.

- All I know is that our friendship... - Let's go.

leaves no one behind!

We're as solid as rock.

We've made it through the tough times and tests of life.

Thank you, brother.

Bro.

I've heard some real crazy rumors awhile ago.

Don't get mad, alright?

They said something happened between you and Abby.

It's crazy how people spread rumors like wildfire around here.

Nothing can stop it.

It’s not Abby.

What? Then who?

It was Flor.

I'm sorry, I was just tempted!

Damn you!

Elmer?

Ouch.

Now we're both unemployed, my love.

We'll just have sex every day and night.

You are mine, and mine alone.

You are mine, and mine alone!

Come on, hit me!

Hit me, you son of a bitch!

Hit me!

That hurts...

Shit, hit me harder!

Shit!

Are we not going to eat?

Look, this can of sardines didn't break all the way.

We talked about this already.

Our only breaks are bathroom breaks.

So what?

We'll just keep drinking water?

What the...

I haven't washed it yet.

Stop moving around.

You do know that I love having seafood for breakfast, right?

Yeah. As long as I get a taste of your hot dog later.

Can you ring the Vice Mayor?

What?

Come on!

We'll just thank him for the 30 percent discount on mom's hospital bill.

It helped us big time.

Are you sure about that?

Yeah, I'll talk to him.

Hello, Susan?

How are you?

Don't bother me, I'm busy!

Hello, sir?

How are you, Sir?

Oh, Susan, my dear. Why did you quit your job?

I, uh...

I just had to attend to a family problem.

I Needed to fix it.

Oh really? What a pity.

If you want...

you can come be with me.

I mean, you can come and work for me instead.

Okay, sir.

But it'll be at the farm, okay?

You'll be working at the farm instead of the city hall, because... you know...

We're trying to avoid any rumors from going around.

Okay--

- Hello, sir? - Who is this?

This is Susan's husband.

I'm eating her out as we speak, SO don't be a prick!

Screw off! You damn pervert.

You think you could get your hands on my wife?

I'd like to see you try!

- And if you do, I'm going to kill you! - What did you say?

You're quite bold to threaten me like that.

You must be going insane!

I think it's probably time for you both to disappear from the world as a couple.

Okay, that's enough. Why the hell did you do that?

Screw you...

Susan my dear!

Please open the door.

Sis, we know you guys are in there.

Please come and see us.

Susan!

We'll talk about your problems as a family.

We're ready to listen.

We love you so much, sis.

I guess they're not home.

They might be at the cemetery. I think we missed them.

That's impossible, dad.

We've been waiting for five hours.

Let's go home. We can try again tomorrow.

Keep going, love!

You slut!

Slap me! Harder!

Hit me harder!

Keep It coming!

Shit, you feel so good.

Oh man, that felt good.

Delicious.

Yes!

Harder!

Ouch!

Keep going!

- Good day sir! - Good day.

- Good day to you, sir! - Good day to you too!

[background chatter]

Elmer!

Elmer, my son!

This is your dad!

I know you're in there with Susan.

I just came from visiting Jack's grave.

I even lit a candle.

I went there with Narcing and Abby.

We waited for you guys to come.

But...

I thought that maybe, you'd wait until tomorrow to stop by.

Since it would be the exact date of Jack's 40th day.

I came from our place, son.

I also brought you guys some home cooked food.

It's your mom's cooking, Elmer.

Yeah! You heard that right.

She can finally cook again.

She has been regaining her strength.

Elmer, my son!

I'm speaking from my heart and I hope it reaches yours.

I regret all the horrible things I've said to you.

I love you very much, my son!

Elmer...

Let's not take this any further.

Please forgive me!

Come out of there.

Yes!

Keep going!

You're so good, my love!

It's been a long time since they last went out of that house.

That's right.

I Was the one who assisted Susan-during childbirth.

From the moment she gave birth, to when she eventually lost her son...

something about her just changed.

What if she went crazy?

Maybe she did!

Because she doesn't go outside and she would barely even eat!

According to the neighbors,

not even their friends and families could get a hold of them.

- Let them be. Let's go. - Come on.

[background chatter]
