Like them...

I'm here for the money.

It’s dollars.

More income.

I am also here to change my destiny.

I'm tired of being an employee. It's time to be the boss.

Push, fight, just hard work.

I will not stop until I change my life.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

Okay, this guy plays big all the time. We can approach him.

Although our origins are different,

- Maybe steer away from this one. - we want the same destination.

In this fight, they are my allies.

Don't worry. I got this.

Inside my elevator, I am the captain.

I will make them bet on us.

And also, this is our last year together.

Our contracts are almost up.

So let's make this count.

Let's get out of this basement and let us change our lives!

Let's go!

So there. I just said it in English so that my friends can understand it.

Migrant workers are forced to leave their home country to sacrifice...

to help and support… their sacrifice...

Migrant workers are connected.

With my app, Global Gigs,

we...

Those apps you use, it also started with someone like me.

Someone just betted on them.

By the way sir, I heard you are into investing in...

And on the way in and out,

whenever the VIPs go up and down in my elevator,

By the way, Sir, I've heard that...

I only need one bet from them.

Maybe the next time you click, you'll be using my app.

Sir, if your factories are with Good Job...

You're working hard!

Huh? Time to breathe.

It was bad.

We almost gave up hope.

What do you think?

What do you, what do you think?

But of course, we can't stop.

Just take a little breath.

The fight continues.

Until the end...

Wait, how?

How did you know that I'm expanding?

Oh, I read it on Mogul Monthly, sir.

Also, sir, if you invest in this app,

this can be a direct hiring tool for your growing HR needs.

You know what?

I would like to learn more.

- Jarr- - Ah, Jared, Sir.

Jared, that's what I thought.

So why don't you

send me your proposal.

Alright?

Thank you, sir.

"Sipag Lang" Performed by: Nik Makino

We did it, boys!

Whoo!

Yes!

Sheesh!

But we haven't won yet.

This is just the beginning.

Is he still playing?

Yes bro. He's betting big.

Oh, good morning, sir.

I'm sorry, sir. I am waiting on maintenance.

- Wow! - [CLAPS]

Not for me!

Not today.

Kindly use the other elevator, please.

- Thank you, - I apologize, sir.

He's cashed out, bro.

Senin, you on him, bro?

Headed to you.

And he looks happy.

Right this way, Sir Byron.

Good morning, Sir Byron.

- How's it going? - Looks like you won big.

I always do.

Penthouse, sir?

Yeah.

By the way, sir, I'm happy to announce

that I've widened my network of potential employers to include

Saudi, Hong Kong, Canada and also here in Singapore.

Oh, Singapore, I understand because you're here, but...

how did you manage to swing the other countries?

Sir, my previous co-workers and friends

from Qatar and Taiwan have been scattered all over the world.

It's through my connections with them

that I am able to reach and add migrant workers to my database,

even if I'm just here in Singapore.

Which improves my job search and listing for my Good Job app,

making it even easier for migrant workers

to connect with their potential employers.

Good Job? That's what you're calling it now?

Yes, sir, but if you still want...

If you still want Global Gigs, sir, we can still use that.

No, no.

Good Job and it's got a...

It's got a nice ring to it.

Thank you, sir.

Sir, I think the work I've done is already okay.

Maybe I can set a formal pitch with you

so we can finalize your investment.

[CHUCKLES]

This is what I like about you, Jared. Always straight to the point, huh?

I have to, sir, because I estimate I only have ten seconds left with you.

No, no. No need to rush. I'm going to be staying here for a month.

And Bettina will be joining me shortly. Her flight just got delayed.

But once she gets here,

I want you two to get together

and further refine your app and your business proposal. Okay?

Sir? Bettina?

Ah, she's my executive assistant.

Sir, I've already done all the revisions based on your last email.

No, no. I don't want to be wasting my time

on a piece of work that's just okay.

Okay? And Bettina can help you turn what you have into something perfect.

This is big business, Jared. And, uh,

you know, I'm gonna be investing big money into you and your app.

Gotta be sure.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

But there’s always a price to pay.

Of course, I'm not stupid.

Okay, sir. I will do my best to work with her.

Do what you want.

Good.

Just be patient, alright?

And pretty soon, you just might have your own business.

Maybe you can say goodbye to all this.

Thank you again, Sir Byron.

Here you go, ma'am Bettina. You can leave your luggage here.

Thank you.

Shit!

You are Filipino?

Are you the elevator boy?

Penthouse, please.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

Bettina Enriquez, Sir Byron's EA.

He's going to be busy while he's here.

So just send me what you have and I'll look over everything by tonight.

All right, ma'am Bettina.

I followed everything that was needed in the email sent to me.

How about your free remittance?

Have you removed it?

Ma'am,

that's an incentive for the migrant workers to sign up with us.

Besides, that's a big help to them.

This is not a charity.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

Just send me what you have.

I'll look over everything by tonight.

Oh curry, sisig.

- It's your favorite. - Bless you.

- Can I have your... - Kimchi?

- Kimchi. Go ahead. - Kimchi. Yes.

- I'll put it here? - No, no.

This one?

Bettina? Sexy.

I don't get it, bro.

You've worked on this for the past year.

- Why throw his assistant at you, now? - Yes.

Maybe Byron's just leading you on.

Easy, guys.

Maybe she's just a test to see if I can really pull off this app.

I know it's a hassle, but I'm not worried.

Because I've already impressed her boss.

So, whatever she throws at me,

I got this, bros.

When we have our company,

I can visit my girlfriend more often.

I can propose to mine.

And I may be able to marry my fiancee.

I just want to go home to my girlfriend.

And you're all gonna see me dating the finest females, bros.

Ikmal!

Jared, I'm gonna need a wingman.

You and me. Las Vegas chicks.

No, no.

Once the app is running, I will focus on making it bigger.

And that love. That's not important.

Emotional damage!

No, no.

Why aren't you back at your posts yet?

But sir, we still have ten minutes more to eat.

No, no. And it's gonna take you ten minutes to clean this up...

and get back to the front desk.

And you! Stop smiling! You were late this morning!

Sir, I requested for a late shift today.

The guest I was driving last night rode me until midnight.

And it was denied! So you are late!

Okay, yes, we will work right away, sir. Yes.

We'll work all the time, yes.

You see, guys? This is what I'm talking about.

Like you guys, I've also been in love before but I've never been my own boss.

She’s still there, bro?

Sorry bro, she's still at it.

Damn it.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

Good morning, Ma'am Bettina.

Maybe...

[SIPPING LOUDLY]

- Maybe you can... - [SIPPING LOUDLY]

Maybe we can...

[SIPPING LOUDLY]

Maybe we can talk now?

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

Later.

[SIPPING LOUDLY]

Weird.

It’s only 55 seconds from ground floor to penthouse,

you were able to convince Byron.

What more now that you and Bettina have one month?

It will work out.

Alright.

Game, come on.

If I’m as sexy as her, I won’t work that much just like her.

Silly.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

Good morning again, Ma'am Bettina.

- Shall we talk, Ma'am? - Nope.

Why not?

Busy.

With?

Good morning.

Good morning.

- Ah, what floor, please? - Going up?

Five.

[SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

Meeting.

When?

Just wait.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

Excuse me.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

Oh, hello again, Ma'am Bettina.

If you're free, ma'am, maybe...

you can give my app a chance.

Okay, I mean, come in, please.

Come in, Ma'am.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

She’s always at the gym, damn it.

It’s like a vacation for her.

Relax.

They’ll be here for a long time. You still have time.

No matter how long they stay here,

if she always avoids me, nothing would happen to us either.

What about Sir Byron? Do we know where he is?

I know, he left with a different driver.

But he made dinner reservations later.

Later?

Time to approach him directly.

She can't avoid me if Sir Byron is there.

How could you have undervalued her accounts in India?

I'm sorry, sir. Their partner just had infusion of...

She lorded it over, Bettina!

That's a hundred mil that should be divided between Alice and me.

And now, I can't do shit!

Stop making me look like a fool and do your job!

Elevator going up.

Anyone?

Do it now!

Bitch, grouchy. She’s just beautiful.

I didn't expect that my impression of her would be wrong.

Oh! Let me do it, ma'am.

Don’t move. Stay still.

There.

Thank you.

Sorry.

What for?

Finally. I got two words from you, ma'am.

Is it okay if...

You’re so annoying.

Well, that's why I’m saying sorry, ma'am.

I know you have a lot of problems, I'm adding into it.

But I promise, I won't bother you anymore.

I’m sorry, too. I didn't even talk to you properly.

It's fine, ma'am.

Maybe just focus on your work.

Then when you're ready,

I’m just in the elevator.

In a few days, I will be free.

Wow. That's a lot.

Good thing you still have time to breathe.

I like this, too.

The busier you are means

you are more important in your company, isn't it?

But ma'am, of course, it's still important to breathe sometimes.

And yes, ma'am, instead of smoking, just stay here.

Because no one will bother you, no one will find you,

the signal’s weak here.

That's the magic of my elevator.

It only just goes up and down,

you don't have to think about anything else.

Wait, ma'am. I learned something from my colleague here. Just imitate me.

[HUMMING]

Ma'am. Try it. There is nothing to lose.

[HUMMING]

[HUMMING]

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

Good morning, ma'am.

How’s it going, ma’am? Are they a hassle?

Slight.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

Go fight?

Fight.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

Hey, ma’am.

Oh ma'am, you bounced back?

Tremendously.

Oh! Your app’s next.

Nice play on Bettina, dude.

Well, easing up on her was the right move.

Believe it or not, boys.

It was not a play.

Wait, what? I thought you said she was the enemy?

Nothing more than the boss's chick?

Bitch!

- Hey! - Go easy.

Yeah, but maybe I was wrong.

Because I overheard her with her co-workers,

and she also has problems, she has a job to do,

she has a boss to answer to.

Just like us.

And maybe, like us,

she needs help from time to time.

That's what our app is for, right?

Yeah

Oh my, oh my.

- Good morning! - Ma'am Bettina!

Good morning, ma'am Bettina.

Relax, guys.

Just call me Bettina.

Jeoneun Ji-ho-imnida.

Main Amir hoon.

Nama sa ya Senin.

Mabuhay! Panying!

I'm Ikmal.

- Pleasure to meet you. - No kiss.

I have read all your names

in Jared's business proposal.

It's nice to meet the future country reps of the app.

Country reps?

I like the sound of that.

We're not there yet. Still lots of work needs to be done.

Your sub said, you're off. Are you ready to work?

Game. Five minutes ma'am, I'll just change clothes.

- It's near, we’ll just turn right, then... - It’s near?

Oh, wait. Ah. yes, you're the new guy.

Ah, you're Jared from Manila.

- And... - Sawadee.

- Billy from Thailand? - Yes, yes.

I will teach you a hack, bro.

Whenever your legs are hurting,

you put up your arms like this and you stretch.

- Like this? - Yeah, you'll feel the stretch here.

Oh, yes, yes. It feels good.

But don’t do it when there are a lot of people here.

Yes, yes. Oh, thank you for the tip.

Kop khun krap.

Let's go. Come.

Wow!

[WHISTLES]

Hello. Woo-hoo-hoo!

Are you a working girl? How much are you?

I am.

But you can't afford me.

- Why did you say yes? - [CHUCKLES]

And he can, right?

Because he’s kinda dressed like trash. Sorry, bud.

I’m better looking than you are.

It's not the suit that makes the man,

but the man wearing it.

And this guy

is the CEO of a tech start-up.

and he is worth billions.

He's way sexier than you, too.

Thank you again for the 5k tip, sir.

Hope to serve you again.

Okay, I will double it next time.

Thank you. Kop khun krap.

I just realized why Bettina did that.

So if I didn't break him,

played a little,

he'll just move on to the next girl that steps into the door.

But for now,

if he thought I was for sale,

but he can't buy me,

I'll let him know that his money

doesn't make him any special.

So he shouldn’t be an asshole.

From the looks of that asshole...

You just didn’t break him.

You even shook his world.

Your friend helped too.

5K tip?

You’re a big shot.

Oh, geez, ma'am.

I hope it’s real.

Let's make it real.

So, you believe now?

In your app?

I always have.

That’s why I answer your emails, right?

Wait, so you're the one I'm emailing with, and not Sir Byron?

It's part of my job. That’s why I’m familiar with your app.

- That’s why. - I know its potential.

Then why did you give me a hard time?

I was busy.

And to be honest,

with you, I am not sure.

I mean,

what should I think?

He said he was interested in the app of an elevator attendant.

Then he was still a little drunk when he met you.

How would I know if...

you’re a scammer

or con artist.

And you’re just deceiving him.

You have a point.

What about now, ma’am?

Do you believe in me now?

[GIGGLES]

God, we still have lots to do.

This is your remittance partner in the Philippines,

this Kate Dizon,

- did you talk to her directly? - Yeah.

My issue is that they can suddenly change the rates

and if we don't have back-up, we'll be stuck.

No, ma'am. Kate is my responsibility.

Why do you seem so confident in Kate?

She’s my friend. My classmate in college.

She is a nice friend.

You don't have an investor yet.

She's already supportive of your app.

Does she have a cut?

No, she doesn't. Because...

this was our thesis when we were in college.

First, just a classmate.

Now, thesis mate?

Who is she really to you?

For the sake of our working relationship,

you have to be honest with me.

Especially when she will be involved in our app.

Ma'am.

She’s also my ex.

[CHUCKLES]

Ex?

Is that all?

If you have no conflict of interest,

you have nothing to hide.

Unless...

you still have feelings for her.

- Is it a bad breakup? - It's nothing like that. Kate’s kind.

Mom and Dad actually really liked her.

Young Filipina.

Why did you break up?

After we graduated,

she entered that company.

As for me, I’m in a start-up Bitcoin company in Qatar.

We tried to do LDR but...

we didn't last long, either.

When I returned to the Philippines,

Kate has a boyfriend.

But I wasn’t surprised because...

we have been separated for a long time.

Shit.

Sorry, Jared.

That's fine, ma'am.

It's been a long time, and besides...

it was a mutual decision.

Maybe life is just really like that.

She got lucky.

I was not fortunate.

Even so, ma'am...

I still won't stop.

- to dig for gold! - Sheesh!

- You know that too, ma'am? - Of course!

It's also my sister's favorite.

No, seriously, ma'am.

I was not lucky, then.

But I haven't lost yet.

You are an IT grad.

Why didn't you just stay in Manila?

If I stayed there, I will just be an employee for the rest of my life.

Besides, I already got a taste of dollars.

Well, same. I get that, too.

But here? Why be an elevator boy?

Ma'am, trial and error.

In Taiwan, I was also in IT.

I have a lot of time, I have a lot of contacts.

No one around me has money.

Hello sir, let me tell you about the...

When I came here, there was a lot of money,

but I don’t have time with them.

Even if I had the time with them,

it was difficult.

By the way, sir, let me tell you about...

[CAR HONKS]

[LAUGHS]

That’s too much.

There are easier ways to get investments, you know?

To someone like me?

You know in our case, if you don’t have the right last name,

if you're not rich, you're really at a disadvantage.

But here, ma’am, I have a chance.

I just need talent, I just need timing.

So even if there really is an opening in another department,

I really fought to be assigned to the elevator.

Well it’s worth it, ma'am.

This is where I met you.

You and Sir Byron.

She’s cool. We laughed a lot.

She’s a decent person to talk to.

I didn’t expect her to become like a friend to me.

I was supposed to text her.

Jared.

Using your phone on the job. Isn't that against the rules?

I'm sorry, sir. I was messaging Ma'am Bettina.

We were fixing our schedule.

Relax, I'm just messing with you.

Speaking of Bettina, she tells me that you two are getting along well...

and making progress.

Oh yes, sir. Thank you.

Sir, are you going to the gym?

Ah, no, no, not yet.

Let's go to the ground floor.

I want to show you something.

But sir, I cannot...

I'm on duty. I cannot leave my post.

No, relax.

I know the owner.

Got you covered.

Get your hand off me, man.

I’m a VIP here. What the hell?

Sorry.

I'm sorry, sir.

As I've said,

there’s been a case of sexual misconduct against you by other hotel guest.

Oh come on.

We’ve reviewed the security footage and we have confirmed this.

So now, we're now giving you a chance to leave peacefully.

Or face legal action from the hotel and said guest.

- It’s you! Hey! - Showtime.

- You rat! - No, no!

Woah, big guy.

[WHISPERING]

I understand, sir.

I’m sorry about that.

Bettina told me about your little incident with him yesterday.

She said you wanted to punch him, huh?

So I figured you'd like to see him get what he deserves.

Thank you for having my back, sir.

If you don't mind, sir, what did you tell him?

Well, only that I bought into his company,

and that if he didn't want me to sell it piece by piece for scraps,

he should just shut up and get the hell out.

Thank you for trying to defend Bettina, huh?

She was able to take care of herself, sir.

That's my girl.

And she is my girl, so I couldn't let this slide.

Game?

Are you finished?

Not yet.

What time?

I'm still going to change clothes.

As I said, I’m not stupid.

After what just happened, I think it’s better to stay away for a bit.

Sorry, I’m just tired.

Besides...

I'm just coding, right?

You are the one in the business plan.

So maybe we can just divide and conquer for now?

Are you avoiding me?

Shit. Can she read my mind?

Nope. Well...

I’m just tired and...

Anyway, I just do the coding.

You are the one in the business plan, right?

Maybe we can just divide and conquer?

No, we are better together.

We cannot be complacent

because we are not the only ones lined up for Byron's investment.

That's why I've set up this very important meeting

so we can add value to the app.

Well, Panying and I will go somewhere later.

But that's not for fun. That's also for our app.

As the founder, I need you to be part of my meeting.

And as my partner, I need to know who else you are involving in this app.

Do you still not trust me?

But when she’s the one who asks,

when she’s the one who looks at you,

and tells you things like these,

how can I refuse?

Of course, I do.

Sorry.

I need to focus on the app.

I mean, focus. Okay, focus. Focus on our goal.

What elevator, please, sir?

I knew it.

- Yes. - From the hotel, right?

Yes, Dr. Revee.

It's nice to see you again.

It's Reve.

Ah, yes, Dr. Revee.

I pitched to him in the elevator before.

Okay.

The work app, right? What was it called again?

It's now called Good Job,

and we, at Top Logistics are backing Jared's start up.

Does Byron know about this move?

The app doesn't seem to fit in your company's profile.

I share your concern, Dr. Revee but only at first.

I was skeptical when Byron presented the idea of Jared's app,

but diving into it more and getting to know the man behind it even better,

I can confidently say that you missed out on a big opportunity

when you didn't take up Jared's offer.

It’s nice to hear that she somehow looks up to me.

That's high praise coming from you, Bettina.

I am recalling what you said,

that this app is nothing more than a job listing for your cell phone.

Nothing new, nothing special.

On the surface, yes.

But with Jared as a migrant worker himself

as the beating heart of the app,

we are fostering more than just a network,

but a community of like-minded, driven employees

for each of our client partners.

If you're talking about loyalty

and keeping my workers in line,

I can cultivate that myself.

Yes, but with Good Job, we can cultivate that for you.

With our thrust for peer-to-peer recommendation,

each employee is already vouched for by an existing one.

And with this personal connections in place.

A better, safer...

And when I’m listening to her, I’m now also looking up to her.

Dr. Revee, as our client,

covered 30 percent of your overhead.

I'm sure Byron's board will be more enticed to fund us.

This is a big deal.

But why don't you seem as happy as I am?

Are we far enough?

Hmm?

[BETTINA SCREAMS]

Good job on targeting him before as an investor.

What good did I do?

You are the one who convinced him.

What are you saying? But you're still right.

You just didn't see an angle, but that comes with experience.

And lots and lots of confidence.

It was great when you played poker there with Dr. Revee, huh?

Every move he makes, you gave a solid answer.

If it's just confidence, I feel like I can give it to you.

We still have time before Panying.

Let's go?

Why did you drag me here? I'm bad at singing.

Don't be shy, I'm bad too.

It's just for fun.

Let's just use our face value.

- Woohoo! - Relax!

Game! What now?

Let's go!

Game!

Every day, just hard work, just hard work

Let them

Stand in your way

Just keep going

Just go straight even if there is someone blocking it

Straight ahead, plan..

[CROWD CHEERS]

Parents, friends are my support. They are...

Why don't I stop?

There is no stopping in digging of gold!

Sheesh!

Every day, just hard work, just hard work

Let them stand in your way

Don't stop, just keep going

Just go straight even if there is someone blocking it

And it's not just for Filipinos, Elvis.

Even your foreign co-workers on the ship, they can also use my app.

Yes!

Then when you land in a country,

you can also offer this to the bars or restaurants.

And of course, because you guys are my friends,

you have a commission if someone you referred signs up.

- Wow! - This friend of yours is really cool.

Big shot! Boss moves!

I remember when you were talking about it in Taiwan,

I thought you were just drunk.

But here you are,

you’re already doing it.

I didn't make a mistake in recommending him.

Hmm.

I was surprised when you told me to watch over him when he got here.

He doesn’t stop, he says a lot of things.

- What is it? - But,

he’s nice.

He always helps.

He always obeys me.

I don't know if I should be happy or irritated by what you’re saying.

Well, yeah.

This is the last set, dude.

- Game. - Game.

You still have time? We have one more song.

Hmm.

Alright, I'll just finish this beer then I will follow you, guys.

Okay.

Okay, okay.

Really? Another one?

Really?

It's okay.

[LAUGHS]

Really?

What happened about what you said about avoiding her because of Sir Byron?

What happened?

I had a meeting earlier. I also had a meeting with Ace and Elvis.

- Really? - Yes.

[GIGGLING]

I'll tell you something.

You know what this is?

It's okay with me.

Because...

we’ve been here for so long...

and I never saw you like this.

Huh?

What do you mean? We always drink like this.

Not drunk, silly.

Calm.

Not in a hurry.

Smiling like a fool.

[CHUCKLES]

[Bettina singing]

I’ve never seen you happy like this.

Enjoy that.

Have fun.

[Bettina singing]

You have been added to Tropang Paris, Dabarkads London, Milan, Manila.

Wow! My friend Elvis is so fast.

I already told you. You have instincts for it.

That's thinking like a real businessman.

You know I got that from...

[CLEARS THROAT] wait, I’m thinking.

Hi, I'm Jared.

Have you considered being your own boss?

I am part of a wide network of entrepreneurs

who have unlocked the secret of success.

Are you pyramiding?

Ma'am, ours is not a scam.

But the glutathione I sell can really make your skin fair.

You know with your tenacity, I'm sure you can sell a lot.

Back to back recruiter of the month. Yes!

But for real, ma'am,

the reason why I made this app is because

because for my friend Elvis,

For Panying and the guys, too.

They are always there for me.

They're always ready catch me.

I can understand now why your app is like that.

The workers come first.

That's who you are.

You really care.

You care a lot.

Our life is difficult.

All of us are looking for allies.

We can give that to them,

then we will earn more and then...

everyone wins.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

Hey.

You are not allowed to fall in love with me.

No ma'am, it’s not like that.

It’s because...

I'm used to seeing you wearing office wear all the time.

It's the first time I've seen you like that.

Because Byron requested me to dress my best.

So here.

We’re going out with his high school friends later.

What's wrong with them?

Nothing.

They’re arrogant.

All they do is flex.

Ego contest.

You know, guy stuff.

And Byron can't help himself.

Keeping up with them, too.

But maybe, I could still pitch to them to invest.

That's what I like, ma’am. You can do it. [HIGH FIVES]

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

Hello?

You’re early.

What happened?

Bettina, whatever it is,

we can talk. We can fix it.

Good thing, I'm off now. Do you want to talk about it downstairs?

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

What the hell did I do?

Alright Bettina, let’s get this sorted.

Hong Kong. We need to know about that cargo suppliers...

Quick concise update. Line up interviews for new hirings.

Accounting department needs it ASAP.

Next, the assets for Byron’s meeting with Alice.

Double check with the girls. Every detail.

Every document. Ugh. And that damn app.

Why is he looking at me?

Oh!

Shit!

Oh, you’re Filipino?

You’re the elevator boy?

You weren't kidding.

He really is the elevator boy.

[CHUCKLES]

Does it matter? I mean

his app is promising.

Even you liked it the first time I told you about it.

It still needs a lot of work. But the app itself is fine.

It's just Jared that I'm uneasy with.

He just seems so...

young.

Inexperienced. I don't think I can work with him.

Well, you better find a way

because you really want your own department to handle in the company.

Developing this app and making it work for us,

that's your test.

And that is the deal that you made with me.

I can't expect this to happen now.

Especially when you have so much on the line also.

I'd rather focus on my efforts into finalizing your divorce.

Listen. Just give me the information I asked for.

I can handle Alice just fine.

What? You don't believe me?

It’s just that, all this back and forth has been going on for years. And-

That's why we're staying here so long.

Listen. I’m not gonna leave Singapore until we split the company

between Alice and me.

Alright? And just like you,

I want this over and done with.

Okay?

Regardless,

I have never let my personal issues with Alice get in the way

of business.

Alright? So, be a pro, do your job, and make it work with Jared.

Alright?

I hate it when he does that.

[DOOR CLOSES]

And that.

[GLASS CLANKS]

But it’s not as if I have a choice.

Just work, Bettina.

Just clear your mind.

Ignore it.

Just focus on what you have to do.

Focus.

You should have prepared this earlier.

- We just got the projector now. - Sorry, Sir Byron.

Here, let me help you guys.

You just have to plug this.

Okay.

So as per your instructions,

we've divided all our assets and accounts between Hong Kong and Singapore.

And I'm quite certain that that part of the instructions

are to favor your side.

Good to see you again, Byron.

Alice.

[CLEARS THROAT]

It's nice to meet you also, Ma'am Alice.

I'm Bettina, Sir Byron's EA,

and this is Helen and Mei-Li.

Part of our core staff in Top Hong Kong.

Pleasure to meet you, ladies.

Ah, I see you've done your homework.

And you have a list of all our clients here in Singapore, too.

I'm sure you and your team have done the same.

Are they joining us?

Just me.

I think we can start now,

and I'll use those as the basis for our discussion.

What are you playing at, Alice?

I'm not playing at anything, Byron.

Things just always get so contentious between us when others are involved.

Maybe our competitive side kicks in.

I just want to start things on the right foot.

Just you and me.

To finally figure things out?

Leave us.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Are you sure, sir?

Yeah.

I'm willing to give this a shot.

Miss Alice still looks great at 50.

I wonder what's the secret. [CHUCKLES]

Whose side are they on?

We may not be part of their meeting but we‘re still on stand by.

Okay?

Don't leave the hotel. [ELEVATOR DINGS]

Oh, hello again, Ma'am Bettina.

- Here’s another one. - If you're free, ma'am, maybe

Please stop annoying me.

Go ahead. I mean, come in, please.

Come in, ma'am.

[ELEVATOR DINGS] Thank God.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

Bye, Jared.

Miss you, my child!

Miss you!

Hey.

What happened to Mom?

We had unlimited samgyupsal,

then Mom drank a lot of soju.

Heartbroken again?

Totally.

You judge harshly, guys.

I'm just like you, you know.

The only difference is

I love young men.

You love an old man.

Mom!

This is not about my love life, okay?

About you.

Shouldn't you be careful in love?

I'm just not like your sister.

I can't control my feelings.

When the heart beats, go!

We just want you to be careful, mom.

You can fall in love.

With the right man.

In the right situation.

You’re stressed, sis?

Working out didn’t help?

Let's talk about it?

There's nothing I can't handle on my own.

Well, you should take your own advice, sister.

Mom and I are here for you.

You don't have to keep it to yourself.

I’ll go now.

Bye.

I'll go up now.

Alright sister, just call us.

But promise, ma'am.

I won't bother you anymore.

If he didn’t interfere us earlier,

Byron wouldn’t stop.

So, fine.

Sorry too. I haven't even talked to you properly.

That's fine, ma'am.

Maybe just focus on your work.

Then when you're ready,

I’m just inside the elevator.

[HUMMING]

[HUMMING]

[HUMMING]

[CHUCKLES]

You know, I've...

asked the chef to prepare the same meal as that

we had together when we made our first 100 mil.

[CHUCKLES]

Yeah, well, this is just me trying to make a fresh start on the right foot. So...

Okay.

I'll see you tomorrow, Alice.

What?

What? What is it?

Oh, God.

You know I have to make nice with her, right?

Because she's got the upper hand.

And you know what?

I wouldn't be in this position if you hadn't made a mistake.

Mistake or not,

don't talk to me like that ever again.

I know you're my boss, but I am still your girlfriend.

Treat me with some respect.

I think I deserve it.

Of course I reacted that way. I was blindsided.

I am not gonna give away any part of the company to Alice without a fight.

Come on, why don't you?

What?

Alice always brings out the worst in you.

Why don't you just sell her everything?

You've got all the money that you need.

You've got nothing to lose.

You'll be free.

We can even start something of our own.

Easy for you to say.

I have spent years. I'm talking blood, sweat and tears on this!

I'm not just gonna give it away.

I would have thought that you, of all people,

would understand that?

Shit.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Nice play on Bettina, bro.

Well, easing up on her was the right move.

Believe it or not, boys, it wasn't a play.

Wait, what? I thought you said she was the enemy?

Nothing more than the boss's chick.

- Bitch! - Hey!

Come on, boys.

Yeah, but maybe I was wrong.

I overheard her with her co-workers, and...

I heard that she has a lot of problems also.

She has a job to do, she has a boss to answer to.

Made me think that maybe she's just like us.

And like us,

she needs help from time to time.

Like our app, that's what it's for, right?

- Good morning, Ma'am Bettina. - Good morning, Ma'am Bettina.

- Are you ready to work? - Game.

Five minutes, ma'am. I'll just change clothes.

What about now, ma'am?

Do you believe in me?

God.

We still have lots to do.

But I'm ready to bet on you.

Lean thinking provides value to the customer.

Anything else is a waste.

I learned that so many times during my MBA program.

- Ma'am, you got an MBA? - Hey!

What do you think of me? Stupid?

Ma'am, it's just...

you made it difficult for yourself.

So, lazy?

No, because...

Byron is already your boyfriend.

So...

Gold digger.

No, no, ma'am.

Alright, to be clear ma'am,

I mean,

because I also dream of getting an MBA.

Then you did it.

And even if you have a rich boyfriend,

you still work.

Working hard.

So I believe in you.

That's cool.

You don't have to say sorry.

I’m in this relationship.

I'm ready to hear anything.

It's even more complicated because of our setup.

Their divorce is still not finalized.

I mean...

I love him.

We won't last long if I don’t.

But a lot can happen.

And at the end,

I just want to bet on myself.

That's all.

Sounds like you too, right?

To be shameless and pitch inside the elevator.

That’s difficult.

That takes guts.

That's betting on yourself.

And when the time comes,

increase the bet.

Just pursue all your MBA dreams.

Directly plan on how to make life more luxurious

There is no stopping the digging of gold

Sheesh.

God.

It's in my head.

Hmm. You're back!

It means we can celebrate together.

Because I just secured all our accounts in the Philippines...

from Alice.

Hmm!

Try the shrimp.

I’m still pissed. You’re making it up to me by giving me shrimp?

By my estimate that would swing everything...

60-40,

- Our win. - Cheers to that.

Hey, listen.

I know you're happy but I got work tonight.

Jared's waiting on me.

Wow.

Prioritizing elevator boy over boss man.

Seems like you two are getting along.

Are you jealous?

You’re with your ex the whole day. I didn’t complain.

I mean...

Now that I got to spend more time with him,

I see that he's more than just an elevator boy with a good idea.

Should I be worried?

No, not at all.

He even tried to defend me earlier.

Defend you? What happened?

Relax, it was nothing.

There was just this businessman who tried to hit on me.

And despite being twice his size,

I saw that Jared wanted to punch him for me.

So I guess, you could also call him brave.

Kind. Funny. Easy to be with.

Anyway,

I got work tonight. Also, I'll be seeing him again tomorrow.

Yeah. But,

The shrimp?

The shrimp.

And lots and lots of confidence.

I feel if it’s just confidence,

I can give you that.

This is good.

Um...

Is it okay if...

I pay you in installments?

No need.

It’s on me.

That's my investment in you.

It's worth it because you are my future CEO.

- No, are you serious? - I'm serious!

Thank you, Bettina.

But,

why are we wearing the same clothes?

Because I make this look good.

Look at this friend of yours.

He was so shy before.

But he can do it.

Mmm, he’s like that.

You thought he’s just simple.

But he will always shock you,

he will always surprise you.

Especially when...

If he really wants to, then he thinks he can,

God! He won't stop until he does it.

I've experienced that, he didn’t give up on me.

All in, give it all.

So, that's why we are happy that he met you.

Our friends and I always help him, but what you’re giving him is different.

You just don't keep up sometimes.

You push him to do things he never thought he could do.

It's my first time seeing you like that.

Because Byron requested me to dress my best.

So here.

We’re going out with his high school friends later.

What's wrong with them?

Nothing.

They’re arrogant.

All they do is flex.

Ego contest.

You know, guy stuff.

[SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

Come on, Bettina. Don't be shy.

Join us, bitch.

- Go dance with them, Bettina. - No.

What the hell.

Are you asking me to do this stupid things?

[SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

[CHUCKLES]

Hey babe, how's it going?

Come on.

Great. We're leaving?

What? No, no.

I haven't seen these guys in ages.

We gotta stay longer, alright?

Hmm?

Listen, listen. I'll keep you company, okay?

Come, come on. Come to Daddy. Come on.

Come on. That's right. Come on, come on.

Come on.

What are you doing?

I just wanna show these guys that I got the hottest girl in town.

- Okay? - Not here.

Lighten up. Don't embarrass me.

Come on.

Come on.

[SLAPS]

What the hell, Byron?

I am your girlfriend, not your slut!

What happened?

I'm....

Bettina if,

if there's anything I can help, if you want to talk, fix...

Good thing, I’m off, now.

Do you want to talk about it downstairs?

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

Uh...

Thank you.

I'm...

I'm sorry.

What the hell did I do?

Listen, listen. I'm almost done with Alice.

Okay? And you can finish off what you have to with Jared.

Okay don't, don't waste all that effort.

And then you and I, we can go home and...

I'll make it, I'll make it right again until things are back to normal.

Okay, I'll make it up to you.

I swear, just please, please stay.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

I've been waiting for you.

I'll be off later. You want to talk about what happened?

No need.

I messaged you.

I'm fine.

It was a mistake.

Can we just forget about it?

Please?

You came back here crying.

You kissed me and then you left.

Bettina, I hope before you tell me to forget everything,

first explain to me what happened.

Byron and I had a fight.

I was drunk.

I was driven by my anger,

frustration.

I'm sorry.

I dragged you into our problem.

In my drama.

I think of you as a friend.

So whatever your problem is,

whatever made you commit a mistake,

to kiss me

just tell me.

I will help you.

I make mistakes

because you’re like that.

You're sweet.

Caring.

And I believe you.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

But our time is up.

We will return and return to the real world.

Where I have to leave and you have to stay.

Friend.

Let's just keep it there.

Okay?

You have a lot to lose, Jared.

To us.

The pitch is close.

Let's just email each other.

So that we don't complicate each other.

Okay?

Dude, I don't know what happened.

I drove them both to the club together,

but hours later, only Byron rode back with me.

It must have been a big fight if she left him like that.

Yeah.

But, the important thing is, she says,

You're sweet and I believe you.

Yo, she has feelings for you, bro.

Maybe that's true.

Bro, maybe you have a chance.

Yeah, bro.

And I've already deleted the video, so there's no reason to worry about Byron.

You just focus on your next move on Bettina.

Please listen to her.

Just do what she wants.

For all of us.

Thank you, ma'am. Thank you, sir.

Instantly

I saw it in your eyes

what I’ve been looking for

I think it’s you

- who I’m destined - Cheers!

to be together

You know, we have to admit that after all that's happened between us,

we did build something pretty special together.

God, Byron. Is this the way we're gonna start renegotiations?

I thought we finally agreed on a clean split.

Yes, I know, but...

haven't you ever wondered why it didn't work out?

I guess...

because we grew our money more than our love.

And that broke us.

So how do you wanna move on from here?

Well, I think we need contracts to move.

We sure do.

We have the contracts ready.

Once signed, the division between the Top Hong Kong and Singapore

will be incorporated into the finalization of your divorce.

Now that we have assessed and agreed on our value,

I have a better offer.

Here.

Wait. After all that, you just want out?

But...

But... I don't agree to this price.

- Alright? It's way too high. - Then, how much?

Less 20 percent.

Okay.

Less 30.

But why?

Byron,

I've never apologized for cheating on you.

I broke us.

And I'm sorry.

This is my way of making amends.

You can take half of what's there.

I think it should be enough for me and my baby.

I wanna move on and be happy.

And I hope you do the same for yourselves.

Bro!

Where have you been?

Sorry, sorry. I was just with my bartender friend.

She saw everything that happened that night.

Oh, it's okay. I'm already trying to do the right thing.

Dude, no, bro.

How do you know if you're right? You don't even know the whole story.

If Bettina is important to you, know the truth.

Right?

So guys, this is how it went down.

She ended up slapping Byron hard, bro.

Like he was touching her everywhere, all this stuff.

And then she just walked out. Whatever happened was...

He shouldn't have disrespected you like that.

I don't know how you found out, but I'm moving on from it.

Huh?

- Move on from him! - And what?

My career?

The life I built?

Should I just throw it all away?

Yes, because what's the point if you're not happy?

Don't assume how I feel.

I know what I'm doing.

I can handle myself.

Bettina, if you would only open your eyes,

if you can see what I see,

you will be impressed, too.

You will not tie yourself to Byron, or his money.

Because you’re capable of more than that.

Why don’t you bet on yourself?

You've been in this elevator for too long.

Things are not just up, or down.

Life is not that simple.

Because what, because... in the real world again?

What? Are we going back to that?

So I’ll change it.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

I will show you.

But what can I do? Byron has put me on leash.

He controls me.

Us.

I need to break from it.

Once I’m able to do it,

Bettina will realize that she can also be free.

We are supposed to be celebrating, right?

Yeah.

[GLASS CLINKS]

It's just been a long month for the both of us.

Tell me about it.

You know for someone who got everything that they wanted

and maybe even more,

you don't seem so happy.

Marry me.

We've talked about it, right?

Now, we can actually do it.

I’m gonna call my jeweler and you can pick up anything you want

when we get back to Hong Kong.

Are you proposing?

Because you want to?

Or because you feel that Alice has won over you?

What? No, no! I told you, Alice is my past.

And you are my future.

And...

I love you.

[PHONE DINGS]

I'm deciding to go to a different direction with my app.

Thank you again for the opportunity.

Thank you again for the opportunity.

What the hell?

Look, calm down. Let me talk to him, okay?

Jared, you did the right thing.

Look at me. You've done it before. You can get another investor.

Didn't you decide too quickly, Jared?

Love wins!

Screw Byron and screw his money!

All of it! Screw Byron!

- Screw him, man. - You piece of shit, liar.

No! Damn you, Jared!

I've been going around the hotel following you

because I believed in you.

Just bring them to me.

I'm the captain. I'll get them to bet on us.

But you threw that all away!

I'm sorry bro. I promise I'll find another investor.

When?!

You said it, also. This is our last year to make it work.

Good for you. You got a shot with Bettina but I was supposed to propose to my girl.

You're not a captain, bro. You're just selfish.

Senin.

- What's going on? - Don't! Don't!

- Senin! - Don't!

Relax, bro.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

Why did you back out?

Because of you.

Damn you, Jared.

Please, Bettina. Don't fight with me,

I’ve had that all day.

What else would I say?

If I'm really the reason why you are backing out of your dreams?

I don't want that burden.

I've convinced Byron to buy your app.

- So I suggest you just take the money... - It's not about money anymore, Bettina.

It's about you.

It's about us.

There’s no...

us,

Jared.

There is me,

there is you

and we have our own shit to deal with.

So I suggest

you just take the money

and use it to change your life.

So that you can be free from this.

Don't be stupid because of me.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

You know very well that soliciting guests,

especially our VIPs,

is strictly against hotel rules.

But sir, I wasn't soliciting,

I was just giving them a business proposal.

If you did it outside of our premises,

that would be fine.

But during your shift,

I've got CCTV footage of you doing so.

Then. Okay, sir, I will accept my punishment.

I have no choice, Jared. I have to terminate you.

But sir, I still have five months left in my contract.

I have no choice.

Unless, you can tell me if anyone else was with you?

A guest did say that he saw you signaling someone else from our staff.

Look, I'll spread the penalty across you.

You'll take a lighter hit.

No sir, it was just me.

I did everything on my own.

Okay.

Why did you ask Helen and Mei-Li to hire developers?

What do you think?

We already agreed to buy the app from Jared.

- There's no need to copy— - Screw that! And screw that elevator boy.

I haven't cut him a check.

I'm not gonna reward him for turning his back on me.

Byron, look you already got him fired.

Yeah, well that's on him.

But there is no need to destroy him.

That money will change Jared's life.

Don't take that away from him.

- The way he took you away from me? - Whatever you think happened,

didn't.

Jared didn't do anything.

He just got caught up between us and our own shit.

What shit?

We built something great.

Where did we go wrong?

We grew our money, more than our love.

Listen, you heard what you heard.

Alright, but I've got nothing with Alice.

And I have nothing with Jared.

And if you really want us to move on,

and if you really meant what you said,

you will give Jared his due.

Do it for me.

I still have a few months on my rent.

Maybe I'll just find a temporary job while I'm here.

Jared.

Even if you get kicked out,

You can stay with me and Ikmal.

- Yes, you can sleep on the floor. - No!

Thank you, bros.

You can also stay with me, bro.

Panying told me what happened.

Thank you for having my back.

No, no. Everything, everything is my fault.

Because of me, everyone here almost lost their jobs.

I’m also sorry I messed up all our plans.

No, bro.

I'm sorry for being a dick to you.

When we all leave,

you have no one to go home to,

no one to hug you,

to kiss you,

to say i love you.

Bro, so you're saying...

I'm lonely and...

I will die alone?

I get Bettina… I get it.

So, go get her.

There's nothing to lose, right?

Now you’ll stop at-

Digging for gold! Sheesh!

Go, go. Go get her!

- Thank you, bros! - Go, go!

[CHEERS]

Oh, Billy!

Perfect timing. I need access. Come on, come on. Let's go.

Okay. Thank you, bro. Thank you.

Bettina?

Bettina?

Bettina?

Bro!

They have already checked out.

If I was on shift, I could have warned you.

They're at the airport and they said the flight is one hour.

There is no reason to worry.

By the time you get there,

I'll call someone, we can meet in 20 minutes.

- Yes, we can. - Yes, yes.

We can delay them a little bit.

Okay, perfect. Then we can call him up.

Then, I will drive over.

You know what, I have a cousin who works in security,

engineering actually, in the airport only, we can delay...

I'm sorry for kissing you.

I didn't mean for it to happen.

Sorry that I’ve messed you up.

When Byron did what he did, I felt disrespected and cheap.

When I saw you that night, I saw you.

How you look at me, how you treat me.

That's why I admire you. That's actually cool.

If you admire me, I also admire you.

And I wanted your comfort. I wanted to feel better.

But what I did to you is what he did to me.

That's me.

Being selfish and weak.

I'm sorry for that.

But you know,

I’ve messed you up,

you’ve messed me up too.

You’re a jerk.

I told you.

You are not allowed to fall in love with me.

Because I might fall in love with you too.

It's about you.

It's about us.

There’s no

us,

Jared.

Even if I can’t bet on us now,

I still care for you.

And I want to protect you.

But I was happy in that elevator with you.

I hope that it was just that simple.

I hope it's just going up or down.

But our lives go left and right,

and everything in between.

Maybe, when we're both okay,

you’ll catch me again when I fall.

Until that happens,

just work hard.

Just go ahead with all the plans.

For me.

Please.

Bet on yourself.

Bro, what?

Let's go.

You can catch up with her.

She’s gone.

It's okay, now.

She made up her mind.

Let's just respect it.

Are you staying in, sir, or heading out?

Oh, I have a meeting downstairs.

So, are you sure you won't change your mind

on increasing the job placement fee, Jared?

Oh, like I said, sir, our app is meant to give migrant workers like me

a chance to work on their days off.

So we can beef up our savings,

we can come home earlier than expected.

or even just achieve whatever it is we dream of.

So you think that if you don't take a cut from these people,

they will trust you more?

Sir, if we earn it,

they will be loyal to us and that will be our USP.

And also, sir, I am not in a hurry.

Our app, The Weekend Warrior, is already online and running.

And I just want to grow our two thousand members

into a real community and not just a work pool.

I already like the app that you built, anyways.

And I also really like your mindset.

So, you can expect my investment tomorrow morning?

Thank you sir. I will ask my staff

to send the contracts right over your office right away.

Yes, of course. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

- Shall we? - Mm-hmm.

After you, sir.

Thank you.

It's different now, boy.

I didn't waste what Bettina gave me.

By the grace of God, my friends still supported me.

He's sending the cheque tomorrow!

Of course, we didn't stop at…

You already know that.

But when you're not busy,

when it's time to breathe and rest, it's also sad to be alone.

Can I get you a beer, sir?

Ah, maybe an old-fashioned.

I’ll get one. [PHONE DINGS]

Thank you.

They are right.

Love is important.

And I know that now because of Bettina.

She taught, pushed and improved me.

Too bad, she didn't love me the way I wanted.

I would have been with her in all of this.

But I'm still thankful for the every ups and downs of my elevator,

someone came in to disturb, break and open my heart.

Thank you, sir.

Right on cue. It’s getting painful.

Oh, shit!

So,

what are you doing here?

Your friends told me something.

They said that there’s an app that I need to know about.

It's like it copied the app I bought last year.

If you mean Good Job, it’s so different from my app.

Good Job is a permanent job listing.

My app is per project and per task basis.

It’s the migrant workers’ side job when they have a day off.

Well said.

I had a great teacher.

Byron?

It’s over.

Oh, why?

He’s an asshole.

I see.

So,

I'm here to make a fresh start.

I wanna make my own bet.

I wanna hear your pitch.

So that I can bet on you.

Well, if that's the case, ma'am,

then can I invite you into my corner office, please?

- One more, please? - Yes, sir.

By the way, ma'am, it's past office hours

so maybe I can offer you a drink and I can pitch to you in my room.

If you don't mind.

It's right there.

See that? Surfboard on top of the building.

That's my room, that’s my room.

Parent, friend, my support.

They’re the reason why I don't stop.

There is no stopping the digging of gold.

Sheesh!
