Motherf***er!

What if you're ordered...

to kill an old man...

who can barely walk?

Could you still do it?

Don't stab him a hundred times.

It should be clean...

simple.

Don't make a mess this time.

One in the chest to

bring them down.

Another in the head...

to be sure.

Stabbing is hard.

You feel the blade

entering the flesh.

You can see the pain

on your target's face.

No, please. No.

Can you still do it?

You know why they do that?

It's for insurance.

But if we screw up...

we're not just going to get fired.

They know everything about us.

The illegal recruiter

you killed...

where your family lives...

even your ex-girlfriend.

They know where she is.

Chief.

What's this Tiu case?

Do you know?

We're going to Mt. Pinatubo.

Bring Nicky along.

Let's break-in your car.

Who was your first hit?

You must've had a hard time too.

How many shots did it take?

It probably took a lot.

Just one,

while he was sleeping.

Then I just thought of myself.

I didn't want to rot away in jail.

Who did you choose?

He was chosen for me.

Thelma heard he was

about to rat them out.

I was his backup for three years.

We'll never know.

If one day, I screw up...

and they order you to kill me.

You should still do it.

It's just work, nothing personal.

That's impossible.

Come on!

You'll never screw up.

But you are going to kill me?

You cocksucker!

F*** ti

I won't.

I won't.

What about Tina?

How about her?

She still has a year to

go before her Bar exam.

Didn't you save up?

Save up?

I'm just trying to make ends meet.

Everything's expensive now.

We can do it.

Stop it!

Is that a new perfume?

So what?

Let's have another baby.

What the hell?

We're too old for that!

Are you free next week?

We have a mock trial.

I was hoping you could go.

You know he can't make it.

He can't just go home

whenever he wants.

Don't worry.

I'll be retiring soon.

You'll get sick of seeing

me every day.

You and me, okay?

Can you do it?

I'm your backup today.

Faster, they need it now!

I'll bring it right away.

Finish it!

Let's go!

Let's go!

Tell us what you know.

It will be a big help.

I don't know anything.

I'm just a driver.

It's been ages since

I last drove him.

Don't lie to me.

You were always with him!

You know where he

goes and who he talks to!

I already told you everything.

What more do you want?

We need a name!

If you're not filing a case...

then let me go. This is illegal.

Nothing is illegal!

Give me a name. Now!

Ex-O.

Who else worked with Tiu?

Pol! Pol!

The former policeman!

They always spoke before he died!

Pol!

Joaquin...

I need your help.

Shoot!

What happened?

They killed Linda.

I don't know where the kids are.

F***!

Who did this?

I'm here at the old house.

- F***!

- Come here quick before they get to me.

Go straight to Rex.

He's there right now.

Wake up. Time to go.

That's why I retired early.

This business pays well.

When they ask for a hit...

we use prisoners.

We bring them out to

kill the target...

then we bring them back inside.

No one will ever suspect them.

It's not only one group.

There's a lot.

There's one in Bicutan...

one in Bulacan.

There's also one in Pampanga.

The people inside take care...

of bringing them in and out.

Money runs everyone.

That's not new.

What I don't understand is...

how come you got involved?

Also...

where does Johnny Tiu come in?

He's my boss.

If there's a job, he calls me.

I talk to my middleman.

And the middleman

handles the prisoners.

The pay goes straight

to the middleman.

Before Johnny died..

Jobs stopped coming in.

Who killed him?

They were being

liquidated one by one.

Someone was killed before him.

He was afraid that he was next.

All of General's contacts

were being silenced.

- Which General?

- Pacheco.

F***!

Are you sure?

He's running for Senate!

Johnny has all of his cards.

You have to find it.

I need protection.

Linda... she's gone now.

I'm transferring you.

You're not safe here.

I'll just get the car.

I'll come back for you.

There's a party at Julius' later.

Let's drop by.

I need phone credit.

Fifty pesos worth.

What are you doing here?

Why? Is it illegal?

What's going on?

Do you still have my number?

Why is it taking so long?

F***! That's Pol!

Finish it!

F***!

What happened?

Police!

Run!

Stop!

Stop!

Sir, we'll take care of it!

I didn't get him.

He's alive!

Let's bring him to the hospital!

Hang on, Pol!

Don't go to sleep!

The target's alive.

You didn't finish him off.

Fix this.

It won't do.

You f***ed up!

Start calling up hospitals!

I'll finish this!

If you informed me

about the lead...

we could've protected him.

He only trusted me.

We had an understanding.

Come here.

You're messing up my case.

I don't care if you don't like me.

Just stay out of this!

Isn't Pacheco a party-mate

of your father-in-law?

What are you trying to say?

Tell me straight to my face!

This is now personal.

Whether you like it or not...

I'll work on the case.

I need to see those

books I turned over.

The ones that belonged to Tiu.

This isn't your case anymore.

If we don't have

evidence against Pacheco...

his identity remains

within the three of us.

I'll just check something.

Move!

Out of the way!

Move!

I'll find you a doctor.

Out of the way!

Out of the way!

Stop!

Cut him off!

Everyone, down on the ground!

Get out of here!

Bernabe!

I'm fine!

F***!

Nobody move! NBI!

Next station, Cubao.

Freeze!

Move aside!

Out of the car now!

Out of the f***ing car!

In different public schools...

that will be used as

precincts in this...

upcoming local elections.

You're not allowed here.

We have already contacted

the different...

- I said you can't be here!

- zone officials to secure key positions...

Later Francis.

We need to talk, now.

Continue

Okay. Yes sir.

To continue...

we are going to

contact the different...

zone officials...

to secure key positions for our...

volunteers and watchers

during election day.

We will also have the support...

of both the Catholic

Women's League...

Pol was killed earlier. and the

different Rotary and Lions' Clubs...

Do you know who he is?

Who?

What's the problem?

Do you know him?

Is it important that we do?

He spoke before he died.

Local knows Pacheco's involvement.

Why didn't you tell me about this?

Local will join the investigation.

This will be all over

the news tomorrow.

Is the President involved?

It doesn't have to go that far.

- That's if...

- Don't involve me in this mess.

This is as far as I go.

What did you think you

were doing here, Francis?

You knew where this was going.

So don't act like an idiot.

I trusted you because

I respected you.

And this is what I get in return?

You're involving me in your mess?

You're involved whether

you like it or not.

Ever since you became

associated with Nicky.

- Ever since you became family.

- Don't involve Nicky in this.

What will you do...
