Hey, what are you talking about?

I got top marks in computer programming, bro.

I'm just being nice, but I can hack any account.

What? You want me to hack your ex's account?

You just got to pay me.

Talk to you later, I have to go, bro.

Alright, bro. Bye.

You guys have already grown, huh?

Have you guys eaten?

Everyone’s going to get their share.

Wait for your turn.

Oh yeah...

Shit...

- Shit! Someone’s coming. - Wait!

Oh, sorry.

- Bro, what’s up? - Hey.

Who was that at the fire exit with you?

You really have some guts.

Just don’t get caught, or you’re in big trouble.

You were peeping? That was you?

That was Beth from the ninth floor.

Couldn’t do it in my unit, so we used the fire exit.

By the way, I’ve got a new neighbor.

She’s something else. Beautiful and sexy, bro.

She’s the one who came in the fire exit.

You’re always like that, but you never make a move.

You’re so shy, that’s why you’re still a virgin.

You have the looks. So many girls are into you.

Why do you keep to yourself?

You know, EJ, I really want to.

But I’m scared. I’m the only one my family relies on.

It’s a good thing my cousin lets me stay in his condo.

Things are tough.

Look at Lewis, he got someone pregnant.

He even used a condom.

He had to drop out of school.

And you, didn’t you catch an STD

from using fake condoms?

Besides, I’d rather use my money for food.

Bro, that’s my neighbor.

Bro, have you finished what I asked you to do?

- Hey, man! - Oh, didn’t I already do it?

I’ve opened your girlfriend’s account.

You can read all her messages now.

Why don't you copy the password, so you don’t lose access.

No, bro, I mean my mom’s bank account.

They cut off my allowance.

I just need to transfer a little to my account.

Sorry, bro, we don’t do that.

It’s too risky, and it’s dangerous.

I’ll double the payment.

Even triple it.

Sorry, bro. I really can’t do it.

Try under the bridge. There are lots of people there.

Sorry, really can’t help.

- Let's go? - Come on.

I thought you were good?

He was going to pay triple.

You’re weak.

Are you crazy?

That’s easy, man.

I’m a hustler.

I just don’t want to get into that kind of trouble.

Whatever.

Hey, isn’t your birthday coming up?

What are you going to do?

Let’s go to that seafood place.

What seafood place? What will we get out of that?

I know some place else we can go to.

- You know where? - Where?

Come here.

[whispering]

- Game? - Hey, isn’t that where you got caught?

I’m itching to go, but it’s dangerous, bro.

That was a long time ago. I’m still alive, right?

And I still don’t have a kid.

It’s all about the technique, bro.

Go by yourself.

You’re always fantasizing about your neighbor.

You’re going to explode.

You’re nuts!

Let’s go.

Don't be scared. This happens sometimes.

It's an old elevator, but they say it's safe.

Calm down.

I’m just not comfortable in tight spaces.

I feel suffocated.

Just wait a bit, it’ll start moving again.

I’m Alex, by the way.

You must be new here.

If you need anything,

like vinegar, soy sauce, or pepper, just let me know.

I’m just next door.

Vinegar, soy sauce, pepper? Am I making adobo?

Hey, that's not allowed...

It's not forbidden if you don't get caught.

You're the one from the next unit, right?

- Want to sit down? - Sure.

Who do you live with in your unit?

Mostly just me, but sometimes, my uncle visits.

And you? What’s your story?

Hmm...

Oh, it's just me.

My cousin lets me use the place because he's in the States.

My family's in the province.

Nice.

- I'm just here for school. - What’s your major?

Software engineering.

Mostly geek stuff but that’s what I’m good at.

I'm good at tinkering computers and gadgets.

What are you doing anyway?

I forgot my password and got locked out.

Let me see.

Here, check it.

Wow, you're really good at this.

- You really are a hacker, huh? - Shh.

Crazy.

Anyway, thank you.

Oh, sorry!

Once you've touched it,

you have to grab it.

- It melted. - Huh?

Your ice cream melted.

- Oh... - Excuse me.

If you're not busy, I can make you a snack.

As a thank you for fixing my phone.

Huh?

You don't want to?

Oh, sure, sure.

Okay.

- Oh, come in. - Hey.

What was it that you do again?

I'm a teacher. History.

Cool...

You think so? What year are you in?

I'm in my fourth year.

Oh, really? How old are you?

Eighteen, but I was accelerated twice. So I'm graduating soon.

Oh... here...

- My thank you gift. - Thank you.

Is it good?

Sure. But... what’s that?

Oh, nothing, I just bumped into something.

Do you want to see the veranda?

- Sure. - Let’s go.

You seem to like plants.

They're my aunt's. She asked me to take care of them.

I've grown to like them too.

I love plants too. We had a small farm in the province before.

But we had to sell it when my dad got sick.

Now that there's nothing left to farm, I'm the only one they rely on.

That's why I took my chances here in Manila,

but it feels like I don't belong here.

Me too...

You know the feeling of just going with the flow,

- but knowing... - That you want to take a different path.

Exactly. That's what I feel here.

How about you?

My plan is to go to Dubai.

- It's an open country, right? - Mhm.

So you just need airfare and a passport.

And they say the pay is good for IT professionals there.

I already have a passport, just need the fare.

But if I get the chance,

I'll go there even if I don't finish school.

That’s really amazing

because that's my plan too, to go to Dubai.

I have a friend who lives there

and she says that the salary of teachers there is good.

That's why I'm saving up for the fare.

Really? Then let's go.

We might really be meant for each other.

Maybe compatible?

Okay, I'll follow you there, alright?

You know, this plant almost didn't survive.

That one wasn't noticed much.

But now that you have, it will surely live.

Shall we water it?

- Oh shit, you have to go. - Huh?

- What happened? - My uncle is coming over.

He’s strict, he doesn’t allow me to have visitors.

You have to go.

- Okay, but I’ll see you tomorrow. - Okay. Come on.

Aren’t you bored in your condominium?

No...

You’re already settled there.

No more moving from place to place.

Just don’t get restless again and end up who knows where.

You have a lot of chickens now.

They sure are plenty...

but this one is my favorite.

I feed it Enertone.

When I give this to my chickens,

they move well...

and are more likely to win.

Even in practice, you can see it's in fighting condition.

That’s how I take care of my favorites. They’re really spoiled.

But if they mess up,

I’ll be the one to sentence them.

Just like you, you’re spoiled by me.

- What's that? - I just came from a party.

It’s my birthday, and I brought cake for you.

- Happy Birthday. Come in. - Thank you.

Sure.

Let's get that icing off your face.

Have a seat.

Where’s your uncle?

He’s not coming home tonight.

There...

Mmm...

Let’s clean that icing off your face.

What happened? Did you bump into something again?

Let me see.

Is your uncle hurting you?

We both know that he’s not my uncle.

He used to be a cop,

now he's a general in the province.

You know the story of people like me, right?

My family badly needed money,

so even if he's a sadist, I just endure it.

This general is a powerful man,

you can’t escape him that easily.

So even though I want to leave...

I can’t.

That’s how it is.

Don’t worry,

a concealer can cover these so they won't be seen.

Hide...

What were you doing? I've been knocking for a while.

Sorry, I was just in the bathroom.

I thought you had a derby in the province?

Derby? That was earlier.

Oh?

Do you have someone with you?

Of course not!

There’s a different smell.

Ah, maybe it’s the cake.

The neighbor gave it. Do you want some?

Do you want some?

You look like you've seen a ghost.

Come on in.

You're our neighbor, right?

I know what you’re doing.

That's not good.

Watch out, you might get a stye.

- Here’s your coffee. - Thank you.

How long are you going to endure this?

I can still handle it. Besides, I haven’t saved

enough money for the fare to Dubai.

Only there I won't be followed.

What if you come with me to Bicol?

We'd still be followed there.

Anywhere in the Philippines, we'll be followed.

That’s why my only hope is to get to Dubai.

Besides, how can I go with you

when you’re not even courting me yet?

Is that all? Then I’ll start now.

Excuse me.

I love you.

You’re really nuts.

That’s for you.

But I’m serious, I love you.

Make sure you feed our chickens well,

- so they're always ready for the fights. - Yes, boss.

- I knew you’d like it here. - It’s beautiful.

Isn’t it forbidden to come up here?

As you’ve said, it's only forbidden if we get caught.

- [screaming] - Hey, what are you doing?

- [screaming] - What are you...

[screaming]

What are you doing?

My mom used to say, if you're carrying a heavy burden,

just scream it out to lighten the load.

[screaming]

Louder...

[screaming]

This is crazy...

- Thank you. - For what?

Thank you for showing me what it feels like to be free.

Thank you for everything.

Thank you for your time.

Thank you for this.

What are you doing?

Just making sure I'm not dreaming.

- That’s my first time up there. - Really?

- You're the only one who did that to me. - Then let’s go back later?

Go home, Alex.

Alex!

Alex!

Alex!

Alex...

When you told me you love me, did you mean it?

Yes. What happened?

I'm ready to leave general. I'll go with you. Help me.

Help me. Please, Alex. Help me.

Of course, anything...

Let's go to Dubai. He won't be able to follow us there.

How? We need money.

I know general's secret.

He's a masochist in bed. We can blackmail him.

You can record what we're doing,

then we need to create an untraceable account to transfer his money.

You can do that, right?

I can, but isn't that dangerous?

Is there anything more dangerous than my situation right now?

This is the only way for us to get away from him.

You need to help me. Isn’t this what we both dreamed of?

To start over, right?

Help me, Alex. I need your help.

Please...

Please, Alex. I don’t want to be with General anymore.

I want to be with you, Alex.

Is this what you want?

Hey...

Hey! What are you doing?

Don't! Stop!

What...

What are you doing here? What’s happening?

Look closely.

You bitch! You two are crazy!

I can upload this video for everyone to see.

- For what? - See if you'll have any dignity left.

- Why are you doing this? - We need to transfer it now.

Transfer? Transfer what?

Stop this at once!

You need to withdraw the money quickly before the account is detected.

Before the account is detected? What are you doing?

Wait for me, I’ll come back for you.

Stop. Where are you going?

Don’t you leave!

Let me guess.

Her phone's off, right?

You're not the first one.

- What did she introduce herself as? - Huh?

Ivy? Lily? Magnolia?

Shit.

Wait, she never repeats,

I'm sure she told you that you have a lot in common, right?

That you're compatible. Right?

- How much? - 25 pesos, sir.

She was a small time con artist before.

Mister...

Boss, help me. Someone’s chasing me. Hide me.

- Help me I’ve done... - Wait.

Who are you?

I’m Cara. Please help me! Hide me and I’ll do anything.

- Anything? - Yes, anything you want. Come on!

Mister?

Have you seen a woman here?

Yeah, I saw a woman pass by and rode the bus.

- Is that so? - As time went on,

she became even bolder.

It wasn’t just scamming.

Let's try looking for her over there.

She pretends, changes names, alters her identity to deceive.

I brought her here to keep her under control,

but I never expected she would turn on me too.

Don’t waste your time.

Don’t work yourself up.

She already got what she wanted from you.

Alex.

Sorry, my battery died.

Let’s go.

Is this who you’re replacing me with? A student?

Let’s go, Alex.

You’re still weak, you still can’t go solo.

You always need a fall guy.

You’re the weak one.

After all the abuse you’ve put me through,

this is when I finally get my revenge.

[spits]

Alex, let’s go.

- Maybe you want to ask her... - Let's go!

what her real name is.

Alex, come on.

Ask her!

- Alex! - After I saved you,

this is how you repay me?

Stop it!

What are you doing?

Enough! That’s enough!

Who are you really?

Who am I?

I can hack any account...

Oh, sorry...

I’ve opened your girlfriend’s account...

Why don't you copy the password, so you don’t lose access.

I thought you were good?

He was going to pay triple...

That’s easy, man. I’m a hustler...

I’m your neighbor...

Hey...

General? General?

General? General?

General? General?

General? General?

Uh, one...

Oops. I’m really sorry.

It’s okay. I’ll just change.

- I’m just there at room 204. - Really?

- I’m at 203. - Oh, so you’re my neighbor...

I guess so...

- See you later. - Bye.
