It's been a while

since I had exercise.

What's this about?

This is about Johnny Tiu...

about Pol.

And probably a whole lot more.

How many have you killed?

I've been locked up

for thirteen years.

Even if I want to get out...

it's not possible.

My partner's at your

house right now.

We separated then...

for about three years?

I got tired because

he didn't have a job.

He worked part time at

the construction site.

It just wasn't enough for us.

I just heard that

he was imprisoned.

He killed his foreman for

cutting down his pay.

So you got back together

when he was in prison?

Is that right?

In a way, yes.

When did you last see each other?

Wait a minute.

When was that?

I visited him last month.

The tip we got isn't true then?

That he often comes home?

What? No, it isn't true.

Our neighbors love to gossip.

Don't believe a word they say.

Maybe it's my other friend

who looks like Mario.

I think they're referring to him.

Would you like some water?

Go to your room.

I have a visitor.

We know what your

husband does in jail.

We need your cooperation.

You're paying for your

daughter's Law school.

You get paid that much?

Do YOU pay taxes?

Pol told me everything.

Remember him?

Are you sure you

don't know anything?

Is there something...

you want to tell me?

Whoever is bringing you

in and out of here...

is probably talking to your

middleman right now.

When I leave...

you're dead meat.

I really don't know what

you're talking about.

You son of a b*tch!

Hello?

No one wants to talk.

Your friend Bhoy is

over at your place.

I don't have any

friend named Bhoy.

From what I gather...

it seems he's good at fixing

your wife's plumbing.

I meant the sink's.

How is your foot?

I see it's still swollen.

Your wife already replaced you.

And your life is in danger.

If I were you...

I would save myself

while I still can.

People like you...

should just be shot in the head.

You're all scum.

Scum!

That f***!

That f***er!

Let's tell Thelma!

What do you say?

I wasn't even respected.

Police are all cock suckers.

Just because they have a badge.

F*** 'em!

I accepted this job for her...

so that she'd come back to me.

But she just humiliates

me like this!

F***!

What do you want

to discuss with me?

Do you know anything

about my father's death?

That is classified information.

Did you kill my father?

You make it sound so

personal Francis.

But it was a decision made by us,

to save the country.

Literally.

Don't be stupid.

Put that away.

Put that away. This is not the time

for you to have your revenge, boy.

The time will come,

if you just use your head.

Now that you're inside...

roll with it.

Do you think the president

and the lawmakers...

are running this country?

If the police and the

military didn't exist...

democracy would've been long gone.

No.

We are running this country.

Join us.

And maybe... one day you'll have your

revenge, Atty. Francis Coronel Jr.

Take care of your wife for me.

What happened?

She's okay Fran.

If she didn't have spotting...

we wouldn't have known

that she's pregnant.

We're both having our

first born then.

Hello?

This is your papa.

Pa...

How are you?

Your mom?

She's not here.

How are you?

What's new?

I was able to get off

work for awhile.

I've known for quite a while now.

You don't have to worry about me.

I'm old enough.

Take care of yourself.

- You're late.

- Sorry, something came up.

Let's go.

No smoking inside.

We're the only ones that

know about Tiu's father.

My informant contacted me earlier.

He's ready to help

out with the case.

But he's scared.

What does he have?

I don't know.

Whatever it is...

I'm sure it's important.

He wouldn't be scared

otherwise, right?

This is Pol's payback, finally.

We'll get that son of a b*tch,

Pacheco.

Pull over first.

I need to pee.

Actually Charlie

wanted to talk tomorrow.

But I said why not tonight?

Tomorrow when we wake up...

Pacheco might already

be our President.

I need to do something!

F***!

We already know about it Francis.

What's the update Herman?

I just don't know where exactly.

That's fine.

Ben's on his way to Charlie.

Hello?

Good.

The policeman?

He's lucky.

It's not his time.

Laptop, desktop, records...

you know the drill.

The policeman didn't

make it in time.

And Tiu's father?

He's quiet now.

You did the right thing, Francis.

What did I tell you?

Youngest NBI Chief?

Or youngest Senator?

Good job, Francis.

We'll see you tomorrow.

It's done.

Ben's on his way to Charlie.

Warden's orders!

He needs help moving stuff.

Not you.

Just him.

Let's go.

Let's go!

Which one?

Don't go.

What?

Dad's expecting us.

We told him we were joining them.

Something big is going to happen.

I'm sorry.

General Pacheco's going down.

I'm sorry but I have to do my job.

Everyone involved

will soon be exposed.

Nick...

I'm sorry.

Daniel,

you'll be replacing Tatang.

You can do it.

What will happen to Tatang?

We can't use him anymore.

Are you going to have him killed?

Forget about him.

He'll be a free man in two days.

Acosta, where are you?

I'm near the office.

F***.

If you didn't leave

me last night...

Tiu's father would still be alive!

You have a lot of

explaining to do.

Acosta, pay attention!

This is important!

I have evidence

against the General.

It will also incriminate

my father-in-law.

Oh f***.

I'm near.

There's no turning back from here.

They'll meet up at

the General's office.

We'll arrest them there.

Sir!

If you got solid evidence...

I'll treat you to a banana stick.

But wait.

What about your Range Rover?

I'm back to my old Honda.

F***!

Get out of my way!

Francis!

Call an ambulance!

The ambulance is on its way!

Hold on!

You can do it.

Get the ambulance here!

F***!

Motherfuckers!

F***!

Motherfuckers!

Noted.

This is not right.

We can never hold

him by the neck.

It's better to have him

killed while he's powerless.

Pull over!

You f***ing murderers!

Who do you think you are?

Gods?

Bravo! Bravo!

Block that car!

What's going on?

Nobody touches him.

Everyone, stand down.

Pull over!

Get out of the car!

F***ers! Get out!

I said stand down!

Stop shooting!

Stop shooting!

Stop shooting!

Do you mind sending

this to my kid?

The address is right there.

Sure, just place it on top.

Thank you and take care!

Here you go.

Your last meal here should be special.

Have an extra egg.

Congratulations!

Thanks.

You got a lot of stuff here.

Why did you accept everything?

Just leave them there.

You'll have a hard time tomorrow.

Do you think...

Rex would allow Diana

to live here with me?

Does she know?

I want to tell her soon.

This isn't the place

to start a family.

What do you plan to

do when you get out?

I don't have anywhere to go.

You'll fix it once

you see each other.

I'm Old.

It's hard to start again.

'Tang,

I still haven't thanked you...

for everything.

If not for you...
