Caregiver Page #5

If you want to complain,

do it back home in Malacaang Palace.

Honey.

Did you drink?

Just a little.

You're off-duty already?

What time is it?

Come, I brought stuffed chicken.

I'll serve it while it's hot.

Let's eat together.

You said we should save money.

Why did you spend for that?

Just a little celebration.

I got my pay today.

They gave me an increase of 75 pounds.

You were promoted?

I was assigned at the special wing,

where the patients are rich.

So they gave me a raise.

Come on.

Good. Congratulations.

Come on,

let's eat together!

I have a stomach ache.

Go ahead. Let me sleep.

The Lord be with you.

And also with you.

Lift up your hearts.

We lift them up to the Lord.

What a rotten life!

I work the whole day, and when I get home,

there's nothing to eat!

You didn't eat?

Didn't you forbid me from eating out?

Wait, I'll cook for you.

Never mind, I'll sleep it off.

I said I'll cook, just wait.

I said never mind!

I will still cook!

If you don't want to eat, then don't!

You're not the only one who's hungry!

Eat by yourself!

What do you really want from me?

It's not like I went sightseeing

the whole day!

If I can do everything around here,

I will!

But I only have one body!

You're not the only one,

who gets exhausted!

Alright, you're more exhausted!

You win!

Hey, Sarah.

Karen is still on duty...

No, I came to see you.

Come in.

No, I don't want to be any trouble.

I will only take a short time.

Joseph, perhaps...

Perhaps you can talk

to Hatton again for Teddy?

Sarah, I'll be frank with you.

I talked to Hatton several times already.

He said Teddy will really

have a hard time with his appeal.

You know how it is.

Oh my God!

Oh my God...

Broken bones...

Breathing...

Heartbeat...

Oh my God!

What do I do?

Help! Help!

We found these under the bed

in between two mattresses.

He's not been taking

his medications which means...

his veins have started to constrict.

Don't worry,

I'll be seeing him regularly anyway.

Thank you, Doctor.

Sarah.

Thank you so much

for saving my father's life.

If it weren't for your presence of mind,

he'd be dead now.

David, we just did all that we could.

We're so grateful to you.

I promise,

I won't forget what you did for him.

For us.

Mr. Morgan?

Would you like me to get you

something from the kitchen?

You didn't touch your food again.

Sir, you have to eat,

if you want to get better.

Your doctor says-

I don't care what the bloody doctor says!

Now get out of here,

and take your bloody food with you!

Go on, get out!

With all due respect, Mr. Morgan.

If you're not happy with my services,

you could always have me replaced.

If you want to just lie there

being miserable and surly all the time...

then that is your choice.

But please do not make me look bad

or inefficient because I am not.

How dare you speak to me in this manner?

I dare because this job

means so much to me!

You have no idea

what I've had to give up to get this...

this thankless job!

Do you know that I had to leave

my son back home?

But I'm doing this for him because,

I want him to be somebody.

I just want him

to have a better chance in life.

I care about my job, sir.

I care about you.

I don't deserve to be treated like this.

No one does.

So again, Mr. Morgan sir,

if you want to have me replaced...

you're free to do so.

What's going on here?

I heard her,

she was screaming at my father!

Nobody speaks to my father that way.

That was totally unacceptable behavior.

I apologize for that, Miss Morgan.

I'll talk to her and make sure

it never happens again.

Talk to her?

Is that all you will do?

What do you suggest I do?

If you can't fire her,

I want you to replace her.

Alright, I'll see what I can do.

It's alright, Mr. Hartley.

What do you mean it's alright?

- Mr. Hartley, sir.

- It's alright, Sarah.

Everything's fine now.

Carry on.

I told you so.

Are you wearing gloves?

No, sir.

I'm sorry,

I was just looking at your books.

Are you wearing gloves?

What, sir?

Put on some gloves,

if you're going to touch the books.

There's a pair of gloves in the drawer.

I'm really sorry, Mr. Morgan.

I was just curious, I'll put it back.

Wear the gloves.

Then come here and show me,

what book you've chosen.

"Tess of the D'Urbervilles"

Thomas Hardy.

Interesting choice.

Should I put it back now sir?

No.

That's the first edition you're holding,

you know?

You know what that book's worth?

Sir, maybe I should just put it back now.

No.

I'm asking you.

Do you know what that book's worth?

How much is it?

I don't know either.

But it should be enough

to get me a decent meal.

Which is more than I can say

for what your bloody kitchen is serving up.

The food here is going to kill me.

You should have left me to die, you know?

Not on my watch, Mr. Morgan.

I know.

You had a lot to say

for yourself the other day...

when I bit your head off, didn't you?

But you made a lot of sense.

Pull up a chair and read me

the story of poor Tess.

You chose the book.

Let's see if it means anything to you.

By the way...

What do you call yourself?

Sarah.

My name is Sarah.

Carry on, Sarah.

"Phase the first:"

"The Maiden".

Hi Sarah, how are you?

I'm good. You're leaving so soon?

We cannot stay.

Sean's father wants us

to go home right away.

He's not my father!

Be quiet!

I'm sorry, we have to go.

How can you behave that way

after coming from church?

Church has no effect on you!

Hope is limitless.

Love is boundless.

And the kite will fly in the rain.

And if in case aspirations fall.

What matters is I learned to risk.

To persevere as long as able.

My heart, spirit, mind and flesh.

Even when I'm anxious.

Dreaming alone.

I'm here taking my chances.

Even though the future is uncertain.

I won't say no.

I'm someone who learned.

To fly a kite in the rain.

Sarah's here.

Honey, come here.

Friends, this is my wife Sarah.

These guys are my batchmates.

Norman! My idol!

He's an engineer in Manila.

Now he's the best at using the catheter!

You son of a b*tch! I'll-

Billy, my man! City boy!

Yuppie boy!

How's your enema?

You guys are so good at what you do!

So good-

I'm really sorry, Sarah.

Come on, let's go.

Leave me alone here, I'm ok...

Leave me here, it's ok...

Go on!

You can't stay here. Come on, Ted.

- Lie down outside...

- I said leave me here.

What happened to you?

I don't understand you anymore.

That's my wife, Jenny.

She died when David was still a boy.

This other lady, sir?

My friend Barbara.

We met just after retirement.

She died a couple of years ago,

just before my first heart attack.

I'm so sorry to hear that.

They're like a couple of bookends

those two.

My two greatest friends.

I miss Barbara.

Terribly.

We used to spend

a lot of time in the city.

We can still do that if you want.

Is that possible?

Mr. Morgan sir, you're a resident here,

not a prisoner.

I'm sure it can be arranged.

In the meantime, why don't you let these
