One More Try Page #3

---

You're right, Grace. Every moth er

will do everything for their child.

But, don't forget that most women will

also kill just to protect their husbands.

And remember, no trespassing.

Learn to knock before you enter.

Don '1 just barge in.

Ma'am, Ma'am Grace is here.

Looks like they'll be late.

Have some snack,

I'll just finish this up.

This'll be quick.

Jacq, we're running out of time.

I need Edward.

Botch ok needs him.

Even briefly.

Even for just a night.

Lend me your husband.

No.

I will not.

I will get down on my knees.

I will do everything you want.

Don't both er.

I don't even have to explain myself.

I don't deny your son his father.

But as a wife, I have every right

to deny you my husband.

I know what happened with Grace

in the past was a mistake.

I cannot correct it

with another mistake.

I'm just worried

how Jacq's gonna take all this.

She stuck it out with you

since college.

You might be pushing her too far.

I know.

But my conscience can't take it.

So what are you planning to do now?

I don't know.

Or maybe I do.

It's just that I don't want to admit it.

I will not let my son die.

Not this time.

Let's play here.

- Yes, Sir?

- May I see the big, brown one?

This one?

Hey?

Nanny, the child fell down!

Nanny!

That's Botch ok!

Sir! sm

Sir, Batch ok is in side!

He's unconscious!

- Where is he?

- Botchok is inside! He's unconscious!

Botch ok!

- Botch ok!

- Botch ok!

Wake up!

Botch ok!

- What happened here?

- He just collapsed.

Get out of my way!

- Oh dear! Botch ok!

- Botch ok!

Botch ok!

Doc!

What happen ed to the boy?

I don't know, he collapsed.

We'll take a look.

Where's Batch ok?

I'm the mother. How is he?

He's still unconscious. Excuse us.

He has severe aplastic anemia.

Alright.

What happen ed?

He fell unconscious.

Okay, adjust the oxygen mask

and the IV.

Botch ok?

What do you mean you approve,

but on your terms?

So...

Jacq, don't make things harder.

Come on!

Take it or leave it.

Th at way, ma'am.

Where are they?

They left a while back.

Here are the keys.

So it's negative.

Well, it's not the end of the world.

Singapore is near. And so is the US.

We can bring the boy there.

We can actually stay there

while Botch ok is having treatment.

Wait...

We do not have visas yet.

We can legally adopt the child.

No. Botch ok is not up for adoption.

We're running out of options.

And it's the best we can offer.

I am saving my child,

not giving him away.

Indefinite leave?

Where are you going?

Are you going with Jacq to Singapore?

I wanna be with my son.

I sure hope you know

what you're doing.

Prince Juan took his knife,

cut himself,

then poured lime juice over it

to keep himself awake.

That's painful, Mother. I can't do it.

Sure you can.

The King has to get well, doesn't he?

No matter how painful,

Prince Juan will have to bear it.

Right son?

Thank you, Mama.

For what?

Because I'm well now.

Of course, my son. You're well now.

How many times do I have to tell you

you're just wasting money for nothing?

He needs the operation.

You just have to do it again.

There is no plan B.

Why did you let

the wife orchestrate it?

Definitely, you can't really do well

in that situation.

And you know that she is

an overprotective paranoid wife.

What's our winning strategy this time?

One more try? How many more tries?!

If you want to make a scene,

spare my friend.

You were talking about having sex with

my husband and now you're shamefaced?

I didn't know you subscribed

to unlimited sex with my husband...

and you want to use it all up.

Don't push me to the edge.

Wait a minute.

I came to you. I told you my problem.

It's your husband's son who is ill here,

not just anybody.

Did you think I liked it?

That I enjoyed that night?

You treated me like a dog

you gave a scrap bone to...

after you had your sh are.

It may look like it.

But the scrap bone I gave you,

it was mine...

It's my husband you almost

stole away from me.

Did you think I already forgot that?

I didn't know he had you back then!

And when I knew, did I bother you?

Didn't I just keep quiet?

Which you should have just done!

I am a mother!

But why do I even

expect you to understand?

You never had a child

who struggled to live!

You do not know what you're saying.

You don't know what I went through.

You borrowed my husband. And I agreed.

You asked for one night,

and now you want to keep him?

Who are you? Are you God

who can control your son's life?

If he'll live, he will.

If he'll die, accept it!

Just try to take my husband from me.

Why did you do that?

Why did you have to provoke her?

Did it help?

I know and understand.

That's why I agreed to everything.

But it's not my fault if she has

faulty reproductive system.

Reproductive system.

Who are you to talk that way?

So, it's my fault?

I'm the one at fault here?

It's my fault that

I can't give you a son?

Before you tell me that,

I hope you remember...

that you had that child

because you cheated on me!

So you wanted to get even?

Was that it?

Was that why you had our baby aborted?

It was not an abortion...

- Then what?

- It was a miscarriage!

A miscarriage?

The doctors told you it was

a delicate pregnancy but what did you do?

You didn't listen to me.

I asked you,

I begged you to quit working.

But you didn't. What did you do?

You chose your career. You chose your job.

Th at f***ing career of yours!

I chose to work so I could...

- give our baby a better life!

- What life? What now?

We almost had it, what now?

Nothing!

What life are you talking about? None!

You don't know what you're saying because

you didn't go through what I went through!

You don't know how hard it is to be

treated like trash because I was orphan ed.

When I learned I was pregnant, and

we were not ready, I couldn't quit my job.

Was I wrong? Was it wrong to want

abetter life for my child?

Who wants to lose a child?

As your wife, did I fail you?

I try so hard, so hard to be perfect.

I don't want a perfect wife.

All I need is a happy family.

Can you give me that?

Madam, everything you need is here -

ticket, investor's brief, and budget.

Okay.

Madam, I'll just wait in the car.

Hon, I'm leaving for Singapore.

But if you want me to stay,

just say it.

No, I think you need to go.

I think we need this.

We need space.

Go now, or you'll be late.

Go on.

Go on.

Madam Jacq has been calling,

asking for you.

Grace?

Grace, than k you.

Botch ok's birth day is soon.

I was thinking of giving him something.

A birthday party, perhaps?

Anywhere is fine with me.

It can be in Baguio, or anywhere.

You'll go to Baguio?

Of course.

If it's alright with you.

Of course.

Everythinge fine here.

The office is looking great.

Actually, you should come.

This weekend?

Jacq, it's the boy's birthday.

All right.

Edward, tell me when you have free time.

I can make arrangements.

I can file for leave.

Okay. We'll see.

I have to go, Jacq. Bye.
