Mudrasta (2025) Movie Script

Trips are cancelled.
Before I became
Mr. Enrique's secretary
we had already been
hometown friends.
We were batchmates.
Batch 87.
We can't let you in.
What do you mean?
The funeral's right there!
I just have to leave something.
Right there!
What is it?
You can leave it with us.
My condolences!
I plan to collapse
on top of the casket!
Can you do that?
Like this, see?
- Can you?
- No, sir.
Fine, then.
Let me in.
He was a kind boss
and a good friend.
Enrique...
Enrique!
Enrique!
You can't do this!
Enrique!
Enrique!
Enrique, you can't do this to me.
You can't do this to me!
Go ahead, let it all out.
I'm here for you.
You have my support.
Thank you.
Who are you?
Melancio Antonio.
Melancio?
May Anne?
Who is she?
Excuse me.
Hold this for me, please?
Give us a minute to talk.
Melancio?
You offered to support
me earlier, didn't you?
Yes.
- Are you ready?
- For what?
I'm about to collapse.
Enrique!
Victor! Victor!
Victor!
Girl, please!
You're heavy.
- What?
- What?
Co-ownership.
Fifty percent.
May Anne,
did you know about this?
Were you trying to steal from him?
Madame!
I didn't know anything about
Mr. Enrique's last will.
And as a matter of fact,
even Becky here
didn't know anything about it.
Promise!
Get out of my sight,
you parasite!
And you...
You hideous monster,
Becky.
Are you telling us, Attorney...
that Andrew and I
have to live with them
for an entire year?
As your stepmom.
Stepmom?
That's ridiculous!
What if we don't want to?
Then, she will inherit
your share of the holdings.
Oh my god.
We'll never agree to that!
We're taking this to court.
Or if she wants,
we'll buy out her rights.
Attorney, Doa, Nicolai
don't worry.
I will not agree to
what the will says.
Because it's not in my nature
to take what's not mine.
Friend, we're leaving.
Very well, then.
I cannot even fathom
why he would ever trust you
with our family business.
Frankly, ma'am,
I don't understand as well.
But I want you to know the truth.
Now that Enrique is gone.
And there's no point hiding it.
He and I once had a long
and loving relationship.
Relacin?
Relationship!
Querida, Concubine, Mistress,
Number Two... an Affair!
So Enrique fell for a two-bit fairy
from the country?
Enrique has poor taste.
Doa,
please don't presume to judge.
I'd never assume
you had snakes for hair.
- Becky--
- Oh, stop calling me that!
You've leveled up
from mistress
to stepmom!
I guess it's fab.
Seems very "motherly".
Oh!
I like the sound of that!
"Mudrasta!"
Fire!
Hold on.
You know, friend...
Enrique must have some
reason why he did all this.
It must have something
to do with our past.
That's what have to find out.
First day of school.
It's our fourth year.
New teachers,
brand new classrooms,
and new classmates.
more importantly
new crushes!
Becky!
Why do you look like
that in a flashback?
There!
- Happy now?
- Fabulous!
Fab!
Sis!
Can't I look like this
in the flashback?
No! Absolutely not.
This is my flashback!
What I say, goes.
Stop messing around.
Okay, back to flashback!
Buy one for yourself!
Buy one for yourself!
Homemade Empanadas!
Homemade Empanadas!
Buy one for yourself!
Hey!
Hey!
- Becky!
- Baby!
Get out of that car
and explain yourself!
You didn't even honk the horn!
Are you blind?
Couldn't you see us?
People walk here!
I was selling stuff!
You idiot!
What do you think the horn is for?
- I was walking right in the middle!
- Sorry.
What do you mean "sorry"?
Come out of there!
I'm calling the authorities!
Come out!
Explain yourself!
You wasted all my empanadas!
Are you going to pay--
for--
You've got me spun all around
Don't know what to say or how
No matter how hard I try
I can't seem to catch your eye
And when we pass each other by.
My heart beats like it wants to fly.
You make me weak at the knees.
So... good.
Becky!
You look like something out of MTV.
Aren't you angry?
You're supposed to be
angry in this scene!
Be angry, be mean! Becky!
Be mean!
What's wrong with you?
I'm having a change of
heart at the moment.
Can't you leave me be?
Stop it.
Don't interrupt.
Oh!
Please allow me to apologize
on behalf of my driver.
I'm sorry.
Are you hurt?
Oh! How much do I owe you?
I'll pay for them.
How much do I owe you?
Becky! Hey!
He's asking you, how much?
No, no need.
It's fine.
Nobody got hurt.
So, it's fine.
An apology is good enough.
Becky,
come here.
Becky!
Charge him.
Charge him for your losses!
Come on!
I told you not to interrupt!
Just wait.
Is he looking at me?
Is he looking right now?
Is he?
- At me?
- He is!
Looks like he wants to talk.
Really?
It's me.
Would I lie to you?
Are you sure?
Look again.
Look at him again.
Is he?
- Turn around.
- Is he looking?
- Turn around.
- I'm turning around.
I'm turning around.
Here I go...
You idiot!
Have you heard?
Someone transferred
to our class from Manila!
A guy?
The son of the mansion
owner by the plaza!
He's here!
The transferee!
What is happening?
Hi!
Hi!
Becky! Becky!
- What?
- Becky!
I'm not late for
the teacher, am I?
Oh!
Don't worry.
She's late, too.
Melancio Antonio.
And you are...?
Enrique Santillanes.
And he is?
Vector Labrador.
Victor!
Becky, for short.
Becky? Becky Labrador...
Becky Labrador... Be
Becky Lab!
Becky Love for short.
Becky Love, he says.
I could be.
I'm Enrique.
Becky Love,
I'm sorry, again.
It's fine.
Didn't I say it was fine?
I'm Barbie, by the way.
Barbie, do you have
any more snacks?
If you give me some,
I'll vote for you as muse.
- Come on.
- Oh, okay.
I have a lot of snacks.
- Give me that!
- Leave me alone!
Let go!
What have I ever done to you?
This is mine!
It's mine.
Octavia! Octavio!
Twins! Let him go.
What's wrong with you?
Or I'll shove empanadas
down both of your throats!
Mind your own business!
- Hold it.
- Give that back!
Oh!
You really want to test me?
- I told you to stop!
- Let me go!
So? Want some of this?
Huh! You've got nothing on this!
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Are those
the Empanadas you sell?
Can I buy one?
No, just take one.
On me.
It's really good.
It's really good!
Smooth talker!
You don't have to say that
just because I helped you.
There, see?
You got hiccups from lying.
No.
Actually,
I get hiccups when I'm being honest.
- Oh?
- It's good.
Really? Is that true?
I'm telling the truth!
Am I pretty?
You are pretty.
Are your hiccups gone?
You've got me spun all around
Don't know what to say or how
No matter how hard I try
I can't seem to catch --
You know...
when we were growing up
we always thought this
house was haunted.
We never saw people living here.
It's so quiet.
And
I don't see any pictures
of you and your family.
That's not really my style.
Why is that?
I lost my parents.
I'm sorry.
How did they die?
Oh no, they're alive.
But it's the same as if they're dead.
They don't treat me like their child.
I've brought what you asked, sir.
Thanks, you can leave it there.
You can go.
Oh, thank you then.
Hey, wait.
Don't go.
What?
Where are you going?
I didn't mean you. I meant her.
Oh.
I thought you wanted
me to leave, seorito.
Not at all. Sit down.
So,
what are we supposed
to do with that?
Enrique?
You didn't answer
my question earlier.
Does that mean
you don't think I'm pretty?
Don't even try to get hiccups!
There!
You can eat it now.
- This is great!
- And
Sergeant-at-Arms...
Victor Labrador!
Why am I standing here?
I'm the muse!
I'm supposed to stand
next to the Escort!
I'm the Sergeant-at-Arms.
From now on, I have
to protect the escort!
- [scoffs]
- You too!
- Becky Love!
- Yeah?
Show me your best pose.
This is it.
- Very nice.
- Melancio!
- Yes?
- Come here.
Coming!
- Why?
- Would you take a photo of us?
Me?
Yeah, take a photo of us.
Alright, fine.
How does this work?
Like this?
- Go ahead.
- Okay, hold that.
Becky, you look so sweet!
One, two...
three!
Oh, that's even cuter!
I feel like that's enough.
Yeah, that's good.
Now, pick up all
the plastic flowers.
Move them over there.
- What?
- Change location!
Let's go.
Enrique!
Chase me, Enrique!
Chase me!
Chase me, Enrique!
Becky!
Can you do that?
Mother!
Mom, come on!
Darling!
Hey, get changed.
I need your help here.
The orders are piling in!
We've done a hundred empanadas
and that's not even half of it.
Get cha--
Wait a minute...
Why do you look so happy?
Two reasons, mother.
Which one do you
want to hear first?
The good reason?
Or the even better reason?
The good reason first, Kuya.
Okay!
I'm graduating this year!
Best in sports!
Again?
Why?
Then what's the better reason?
Oh!
- What?
- Mother...
What's the even better news?
Mother...
- Don't freak out, okay?
- I won't.
- Promise?
- Promise!
Mother!
I've got a suitor!
What?
Aren't you happy for me?
Father?
Anton?
- Oh?
- Victor has good news.
What is it?
I'm graduating!
- He's graduating!
- He's got a suitor!
What's that?
- Spit it out!
- He's graduating!
He's got a suitor.
So, what's the problem?
Your father gets it!
- Thank god!
- That's fine!
Just make sure he's a stand-up guy.
- Not some addict.
- Thank you, father!
Thank you!
And he's not an addict.
He's a good guy.
And he's born rich!
He could even sponsor your meds!
Don't you want that?
What matters...
is your happiness.
I'm so happy, baby!
I'm so happy!
I'm so happy!
Why are we having
a feast for breakfast?
Isn't this too much?
Father, someone's coming over today.
Who?
Do you like the food?
You clearly do.
Are you courting my son?
Father!
He can't answer that.
There's no need to push him.
Mom, please, stop it.
Stop it!
Listen, son,
we the Labradors
will not be oppressed.
We will not be conquered!
Go Labrador!
Fight!
Go Labrador!
Great!
We approve of you, son!
Eat! Eat!
- Here.
- Have some of this.
Thank you.
How romantic!
But tell me,
what really happened that day?
It went like this...
When are you leaving?
Tomorrow.
Since you're leaving
for college in Manila,
I wanted to tell you something
before we part ways.
I've been holding onto
this for a long time.
And
I might
lose the will to say this if
I miss the chance to tell you.
But I feel like it's time.
I hope you won't be angry, Enrique.
Be angry?
When have I ever
been angry with you?
You're my closest friend.
That's the problem!
I keep hoping for more than that.
That's not how I see you.
I love you.
Becky Love,
I love you, too.
You're my friend!
I love you because
I'm in love with you.
What?
I love you.
Enrique?
Becky?
We need to talk.
Becky...
I'm always anxious.
I feel like I'll never be happy
and I'll never be at peace
when you go.
I need some assurance
that we'll still be friends
after what happened.
Actually I haven't been able to sleep
because
I've been thinking.
I wish I had never told you.
I wish
you never knew.
I feel so ashamed of myself.
Ashamed in front of you.
I feel like I've wasted
what we had together
because of what I felt.
But
it happened.
I'm sorry I couldn't help myself.
I want it to stop.
So please tell me,
how do I stop it.
No one's asking you to stop.
But I keep hurting inside.
Damn this stupid heart.
It's stubborn.
It beats when it wants!
I need you in my life, Becky.
My Becky Love.
He loves me?
You love me?
He loves me!
He loves me!
He loves me!
He's in love with me!
He's in love with me!
Thank you.
Even though you
never said the words.
Becky...
I will love you the
only way I know how.
I don't care how.
That's enough.
I'll really miss you
when you leave.
I won't really be gone.
I'll be right here.
Becky Love.
Becky Love.
Enrique?
Yes.
Is that really you?
Am I dreaming?
Is that really you,
or are you haunting me?
You're alive?
I'm always on your mind.
You'll never truly lose me.
I haven't seen you in a long time.
You're still handsome as ever.
I missed you.
Why did you refuse
the arrangement in my last will?
Your family doesn't want
anything to do with me.
That breaks my heart.
Why would you give up on them
when you wouldn't give up on me?
Won't you accept what
I gave you in my will?
Please, Becky Love?
Please.
Okay, okay, fine then!
I'll do it on one condition.
Only if you visit me often.
Because I really miss you.
Thank you
for visiting me.
I'm so happy, my heart
could explode, Enrique.
Me too.
That's enough, friend.
That's my chest, you know.
Enrique visited me!
Where? On my chest?
Yes I mean no!
He just visited me!
Oh, you're just tired.
Would you
come with me, tomorrow?
Where?
Good heavens!
Exactly.
The one who requested
this is already in heaven.
It's never a good idea to go
against the wishes of the dead.
If we don't go along,
he might not rest in peace.
Which is why I officially accept
the terms of Enrique's
last will and testament.
Shit.
Watch your words, Andrew.
Geez!
When do you want to start, Becky?
This is the grand foyer.
Not only does it serve as
the main entrance for the mansion
but also a reception for our guests.
You mean a living room?
Oh,
hello, ma'am.
Now this
is the guest room.
Wow,
it's beautiful.
This will be perfect
for Maria Luisa and I!
Who the hell is Maria Luisa?
Ah!
She's your Dad's daughter with me.
You and Dad had a daughter?
Yes!
Why would you give
me one of these?
Didn't you tell me that you
never had a doll growing up?
So, I picked that up
while I was in Hong Kong.
I thought you'd love it.
She's the doll I brought to the wake.
Your Dad and I
considered her our daughter.
She was first by the way.
That makes her your big sister.
Oh.
By the way, there's another
room I have to show you.
Hmm?
Why?
Isn't this our room?
This is going to be your room.
Thank you, Nicolai.
Why are there so many beds?
These are the servant's quarters.
You'll be sharing
space with the maids.
You can stay here
while we wait for the
year in the agreement.
Okay.
Thank you.
That one's occupied.
You've gotten so big!
You know, I've seen
most of your films.
Your Dad used to tell
me so much about you.
That's occupied.
Occupied?
- Occupied!
- Occupied.
The upper bed is fine.
Occupied!
Where?
There!
You have to lay down a mat.
Okay.
Copy.
Noted.
I'm so sorry, Becky Love.
I couldn't make it to the funeral.
We were in the middle
of our midterms.
I understand.
Thank you.
How long are you staying?
A day?
- I missed you.
- I got someone pregnant.
You're pregnant.
I got someone pregnant.
I'm pregnant?
Mother wants me to marry her.
Wow, you have
impeccable timing.
My entire family
died in an accident.
And you tell me, you accidentally
got someone knocked up?
What is this?
Is this some kind of curse?
Becky Love.
Damn empanadas!
I let you go
so you could think about us.
Not so you could replace me!
Becky Love. Becky Love.
- Becky Love.
- You animal!
You're an animal!
Becky Love.
That's enough.
Becky Love.
Look,
nothing will change between us.
We'll always be the same!
I will always need you in my life.
Please don't be angry at me.
You'll be the godmother.
What?
How will that work?
You mean every Christmas
I'm supposed to bring
your child a robot?
- Or some kind of plastic doll?
- Is that it?
Do I have to pretend
to like your wife?
Is that what you want?
No.
I refuse!
I refuse!
What's that I smell?
It smells like
"forever" is just a joke!
Hey, I was just joking.
Would you like an accident, too?
No.
Come here.
I'm going to kill you.
Come here!
I'll kill you.
You idiot!
Come here!
Enrique,
I know what I have to
say will be hard to hear.
Even harder than you telling
me you're having a child.
But I have decided to put an end
to whatever relationship
we may have had.
It is that simple.
As simple as the letter
I'm writing to you now.
Goodbye,
Becky.
There.
This should tell you how
much you've hurt me.
I can't afford to lose you my Becky Love.
Please forgive me.
Wasn't he the one from
Sir Enrique's funeral?
Is he a new maid?
No.
He was Sir Enrique's gay mistress.
Now that Enrique's gone,
he must be planning to be the stepmom
of Sir Nicolai and Sir Andrew.
Hey!
What do you mean, planning?
I am legit.
I'm their Mudrasta!
By the way,
I'm Becky.
Ermengarde.
Lavinia!
Amelia at your service.
What is this?
A Princess Sarah cast reunion?
Wait,
don't tell me.
You must be Minchin.
Because you're being the drama.
This is Manang Badette.
She is Ma'am Evita's personal maid.
Correction!
Personal Assistant.
Badette!
I love your name!
How very gay.
And your manners
most likely
rough around the edges.
You must be as rough as your boss.
You lack any sort of hospitality.
If you're our boss,
why are you sleeping here?
I specifically meant
to stay with you.
Because
I fight for a cause
on the side of the common help.
Do not worry
for I am your ally,
your friend and defender.
Because I believe
that women who are oppressed
by the rich and powerful
will one day reign
as matrons of their domain.
[scoffs]
So, the fight must continue
for change to come.
For change!
How did that fairy
get you to let her stay?
We're just pretending
to be nice to her, Grandma.
What would happen
to our reputation
if my friends found out
that we keep a parasite
at our mansion?
I'd be an embarrassment to my amigas!
Well that's the plan, Grandma.
We will humiliate him
'til he drops
at the mansion,
and to the whole of La Bella Vida.
Good.
There will be no mercy for the
stupid ignoramus!
You call this food?
We have Danggit,
Tuyo, Longganisa,
Fried Rice,
Fried Egg,
and Salted Egg.
And of course,
we can't forget my own specialty,
Creamy Chicken Soup!
Which I have created
with love, Doa Evita.
What's with the empty plate?
That's for Enrique.
Lavinia!
Bring me some bananas
some blueberries
and a glass of hot milk.
Put it in my room.
I'm having breakfast in bed.
- Grandma, say hi to my fans!
- I'll eat at the office.
Later! Stop pestering me!
- Kuya!
- Andrew, will you stop it?
This is my favorite chicken soup anyway.
Good morning guys.
Today I'll be having
chicken soup for breakfast
prepared by our
new nanny, Becky.
Say hi.
Your chicken soup
is more than enough.
Hmm...
This one's good.
What is it?
I have no time to waste with you.
This will only take a second, Doa Evita.
I just wanted to give you this.
What's that?
I made you some empanadas.
It's my specialty.
It's my mother's original recipe.
And it was Enrique's favorite.
Listen, fairy.
Whatever you do,
my family will never accept you.
So stop pushing yourself to us.
Do we understand each other?
Please
take them.
Do it for Enrique.
Fine. Leave it there.
- Now, leave!
- Yes, ma'am.
I'll just leave them here.
Not bad.
Guys,
do you have any plan
to get him evicted?
Nova Scotia...
Sorry to interrupt, Madam Evita.
I just need to vacuum that spot.
All done.
Thank you!
Ma'am Evita,
please lift your feet, sorry.
- You're getting in my way!
- Sorry, sorry.
I just need to clean this.
There!
Oh!
Ma'am Evita,
Coming through!
Please lift your feet.
You might get run over.
Eme!
Eme!
Sir?
Why are the curtains gone?
Sir...
What's all this?
Ma'am Evita!
This way.
Wait, wait.
Hold on.
I'm just so amazed
with this vacuum cleaner.
It just sucks away all
the dust and grime!
Surprise!
There's a lot more.
Still in the running!
What did you do?
You know, you shouldn't
use that vacuum cleaner here.
You should use that on yourself.
I can smell you from
the other room.
You reek of grime and dirt.
Peasant!
Friend,
why are you doing all this?
Why do you need
to up your class?
That's not you at all.
I just need to be on the
same level as the Santillanes.
Especially, Doa Evita.
I need to dress the part.
Maybe they'll begin to
see me as one of their own.
But then, it wouldn't be you.
You're not pretentious like I am.
What if you find it hard to pretend?
Babe,
when you changed your name
and gender,
you had my full support.
Won't you do the
same for me, now?
Okay, fine.
This is what we'll do, then.
Imagine for a moment
that you're rich.
So, so rich.
I'm so rich!
Good.
I am so... rich!
Yes!
I am so... beautiful.
There's no need for that.
That would be hard.
- Let's get going.
- Are you trying to be mean?
Oh, not at all.
Who made this?
I did, ma'am.
Oh...
Isn't Becky supposed to
make breakfast?
Well...
Hello!
Hi!
Doa Evita, did you miss me?
I'm sorry.
It took me a lot of time for this.
Heh!
So annoying!
Wow.
Your grandma's angry now.
Is she always like that?
Does she have to leave
when I come in style?
And she acted out too.
She was like...
Argh!
I think she was just surprised.
You imitated her really well.
Really?
He liked that.
You're so beautiful!
Do I look good?
It's actually hard
to dress like her.
How does she wear this every day?
I'm leaving.
Are you having your
breakfast at the office, sir?
That was scary!
I thought he was going to go...
Argh!
Why am I not surprised?
Wherever I go,
you suddenly appear.
However large this mansion is,
we will keep finding each other,
Madame Tigressa y Valentina!
This mansion feels so
cramped now that you're here.
But there's the same number of people here.
How would it be cramped?
Mistresses are usually women.
Are you a woman?
Duh!
That was then.
Times have changed, madame!
You don't belong here!
You have no choice.
I will fight for my right
and my left..
You will quit, eventually.
Bring it on, Madame!
Ouch!
Shit!
That's my finger!
Sorry, I thought it was rotten.
Valentina,
you're doing this on purpose.
Don't take it personally!
We're just chewing
the scenery!
Just use your eyes!
See?
Hi!
I believe, Mother hasn't
introduced us yet.
My name is Becky.
The kids' stepmom.
You may kiss me if you like.
Kiss?
- Don't like?
- No...
You, maybe?
Kiss?
Don't like?
Nice gown.
Who are you wearing?
- Who?
- Yes!
Who?
I am wearing myself!
Yourself?
Yes!
How about you?
Are you yourself?
Yes!
- Yes, we are!
- Ouch!
Amigas,
let's go.
Let's go!
Hello.
Where are your senior IDs?
Yes, Grandma?
He is really driving me
up on the wall, Nicolai.
He's getting onto my nerves.
Can you do something?
Meet our new on the job trainee.
Victor Labrador.
Hi sir.
I'm Harvey Peralta,
Marketing officer.
My pleasure to meet you, sir.
Hello, sir!
How are you?
Sir Victor,
how are you?
Umm...
Are you queer?
Of course!
Exactly!
Are you as well?
YES-terday!
Today and tomorrow!
I knew it!
Oh, girl...
What happened to your hair?
It's for a coffee party.
What do you mean, coffee party?
What else?
Your grandma's funeral!
You should get that treated, girl!
Want me to sponsor you?
Yes, sir.
Aren't you pretty?
So, so pretty!
Your hair should be
a bit more off the face.
Don't you have a hair clip for that?
Oh, I didn't bring one, sir.
Oh!
Always prepared!
Here.
Did I hav-- There!
Allow me.
Ohhh!
See how pretty you look?
Everybody come here!
Aren't we beautiful?
See?
Join us.
Smile!
Back to work, people!
Already?
Ma'am, excuse me.
- For you.
- Okay.
Ma'am,
would you like me to offer
a new menu for breakfast?
New offerings!
Tell me more.
We have Embutido, Longganisa,
Fried Egg
Tuyo and Danggit.
for breakfast!
Eww, don't you get it?
Do you have anything for people like me?
You know,
High-class.
Oh!
High-class.
I have something for that.
Is that a thermal scanner?
Is that still a thing?
Yeah, I'm making it a thing.
There!
- You're high-class, right?
- Mhm.
You sure are bad
for blood pressure.
- Uhh, ma'am
- Hi.
Pardon my friend here.
He's just trying to be funny.
No, I'm not trying to--
I mean, yes.
I was just joking, ma'am.
I'm a comedian.
See?
Stop treating our
customers that way, Becky!
We're not some
fast food or eatery,
La Bella Vida is a restaurant,
for God's sake, Becky!
Back in my hometown,
my empanada business
was successful.
I loved and was loved
by my customers,
my regulars.
They loved what I had on offer.
I never got to run
my own restaurant.
But your Dad always wanted
to start a restaurant with me.
Shhh!
I said, your Dad wanted to
start a restaurant with me.
He wanted to invest in it.
Because he knew I had what
it takes to run my own restaurant.
But I refused your Dad's offer!
Shhh!
I refused his offer.
Alright! Alright!
We'll do what you want.
But when our customers
start disappearing,
there'll be no one to blame but you!
- I was his Dad's mistre--
- Shhh!
I'd like to thank you guys
for coming to support
the launch of La Bella
Vida's new branch.
Thank you!
Did you enjoy the food?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, well, well!
Where is Becky?
I'm here.
There, see?
Hi, everyone!
Idol!
What?
What do you mean the
performer cancelled on us?
- What happens now?
- I'm really sorry, sir.
Excuse me,
the performer cancelled?
Leave it to me.
Oh, yes!
Of course!
Pretty that's unexpected.
Pretty that's effortless!
Woke up like this?
Yes, of course!
I don't mean to give you hope
but I am the one you hope for.
I am pretty.
I am pretty, right?
If I'm pretty, then so are you
then so are you.
So are you, girl.
So are you.
I'm Becky!
I'm beautiful!
I'm Becky!
I'm beautiful!
I'm Becky!
I'm beautiful!
I'm Becky!
Are you yourself?
Baks!
Look, two million views already!
The netizens love you!
My advice for you?
Make a vlog every day,
three times a week,
weekly,
strike while the iron is hot.
And, you'll make money!
Why would you say that?
Oh, Baks!
It was one of my frustrations.
I tried to learn how to be a vlogger.
But after a few attempts,
the likes never came.
Nor followers.
The people wouldn't have me.
That's when I realized
that I didn't have any
appeal with the masses.
But, you do, Baks!
Oh dear,
the shape of your face,
that voice of yours,
your moves!
It's a gift!
You have to share
that with others!
Not everyone has that.
So, what are you thinking?
Ouch!
I think you should be
taking videos of
your activities every day.
And then,
I'll edit them
and put them up on your channel!
I will be your
Social Media Manager.
Pak!
Okay.
But make sure,
that this new career
suits me well.
Pak!
You idiot.
Are you yourself?
Yes!
Hi!
I'm Beck!
Beks in the city!
Pretty, pretty here!
Look.
Look!
Single, single.
- Single.
- Is this all the same?
Well, no.
There's the other side.
Single.
Hi!
Look, we have so
many friends here!
That's Kuya Guard.
You know,
he's one of my suitors
at La Bella Vida.
Just kidding.
He can't keep his
hands to himself.
Kidding!
Are you yourself?
So guys, you know the drill?
Yes!
Pow!
Kuya Guard,
do you know where
I can find forever?
Um, no I don't sir.
Wrong answer.
Say,
no, I don't
ma'aaam!
Double. Double!
- Single.
- Is this all the same thing?
That's a lot of complaining.
Let's do it forward then.
Single.
Single.
Double.
No!
Not my space.
You know what?
Our customer base is growing
because of Becky's empanada.
No I don't,
ma'aaam.
There you go!
I love that answer!
Still wrong, though.
Can't you see that
forever is right in front of you?
The office has been
looking for you, forever!
Bye!
Hi Coco!
He's watching!
Coco and Juday.
Hi Juday!
Oh, it's Ate V!
Ate V!
- Oprah?
- Yes.
That's so Hi Oprah!
- Hi!
- Oh, it's J-Lo!
- Hi J-Lo!
- Hi!
Oh, dear!
Oh my god,
it's Barbra Streisand.
Unbelievable!
- Unbelievable!
- Hello!
We have so many viewers.
Thank you very much.
Thank you so, so much.
But mother is very tired.
I'll see you tomorrow, okay?
See you tomorrow!
You've gotten really popular.
900 thousand subscribers!
Road to one million subscribers.
My god, your videos
are monetized now!
Oh, lord.
Friend,
what'll we do next?
I feel like I've got
everyone in the mansion,
and La Bella Vida
to appear on the videos.
And I feel like I've had
enough of livestreams.
I've run out of drama.
What will we do next?
I've got an idea!
You haven't explored being a stepmom
to Nicolai and Andrew.
Start with the younger one.
Start with Andrew.
He'll be more open
to it than Nicolai.
- Here's the alcohol.
- Give ithere.
There!
Can you check?
It works.
Wait,
where are we going, tonight?
The usual!
Let's go!
Let's go.
So this is what you call a party.
Aren't your parents
looking for you?
Real talk?
They really don't care about us.
Real talk,
I think you are just
trying to get their attention.
You should be doing
that at home, not here.
After all,
home is where the heart is.
Love begins at home.
Cringe.
Real talk.
I've been trying to be nice to you.
Come on,
I even let you come with us.
Did you hear me complain?
But don't push your luck.
Because you will
never be my stepmom.
What's for breakfast?
Sir Andrew, it's lunch time.
Sorry.
What's for lunch?
Chicken Soup.
This'll do wonders
for my hangover.
Becky, made that herself.
She didn't even go to
bed when you arrived.
She got that ready, straight away.
She specifically asked me
to serve you this the
moment you woke up.
Enjoy!
Come in.
Need something ironed?
- I can get it done quick.
- No...
Uh...
I just wanted to
thank you for the soup.
It's nothing.
Need something else?
Oh dear.
I know those dramatic pauses.
They usually end with
something shocking.
So what is it?
I just want to apologize
for last night.
You had a good point, though.
You made the better points.
How many points?
Congrats, by the way.
Your vlogs have been raking in views.
How'd you do that?
What do you mean, how?
You've been vlogging
longer than I have.
But you have so much more likes.
And even more followers.
What's your secret?
Well, this is just my opinion.
But you have to
be true to yourself.
"Be true to yourself?"
No I mean, you just
have to be genuine.
You have to show that you really
enjoy yourself making videos.
And then they'll enjoy it too.
The more you're genuine,
the more they'll feel it.
So...
I have to be
relatable?
Yes!
Exactly!
Relatable!
What's relatable?
Where's Becky?
Hey, I'm here!
What are you doing, Becky?
Hoarding potatoes again?
No!
- Healthy food.
- Wow!
I've got hearts-- Oh!
Hi! Hello!
Alright, bye!
- Bye bye.
- Wait, hold on.
Guys,
this is Becky.
She's not our nanny.
She's my stepmom.
This is Becky.
She's not our nanny.
She's my stepmom.
Andrew!
Becky is not our stepmom!
She's not even related to us!
What's gotten into you?
Why are you letting
yourself be duped?
I'm not getting duped, Kuya.
I just realized that
she's okay.
She's a good person and
she means well.
Give her a chance.
No way!
Then at least be civil.
If she was important to Daddy,
so be it.
That way we respected his wishes.
Andrew!
- Stop being close to Becky--
- Or what?
So handsome!
He looks like you.
- Mhm?
- Mhmm.
How can you tell
that about Nicolai?
He's just a baby.
Well, actually,
I just feel at ease looking at him.
I'm sure he'll grow up a good person.
And handsome
just like his Daddy.
So,
how is your wife?
Well,
she's a gambler.
Leonida's always busy at the casino.
Your wife's name is Leonida?
Sounds awful!
Why name a girl that?
What is she?
A hulking amazoness?
She's a former commercial model.
The daughter of my
Dad's business partner.
Uhm...
Okay.
Becky.
No, I'm okay.
I'm fine with this arrangement.
While you're here,
we're together.
When you're not,
LDR.
We can continue our
relationship like this.
As long as you don't forget our deal
that you won't leave
your wife and children.
I'm not a home wrecker.
I'm offering you
your own apartment.
Fully-furnished with appliances.
And I'll take care of
your rent for a year.
I just want you to leave.
Stay away from our family!
You're getting rid of me?
Why are you even staying here?
Because it was your
father's last wish.
And he put that in his will.
Can't you take a hint?
You don't belong here!
We don't want you here!
That's not what Andrew says.
Because you're playing him,
just like you played Dad.
And you're doing it
to me and Grandma.
But that will never happen.
Because Grandma and I know
no matter how you spin it,
it was you.
You ruined our family!
What did I do?
I only just arrived
when your father died!
Why? How is it my fault?
You're the reason
she killed herself.
Killed herself?
Didn't she die from cancer?
See?
Dad didn't even tell you.
That's why you're so clueless!
You don't know why you have
no right to step in our house!
Why you don't
deserve to live with us.
The truth is,
you were the cancer
that killed our mother,
and our family.
That's not true.
I know people who
will testify that
I never had ill intentions
with your family.
May Anne and Maria Luisa.
They're witnesses to everything
your father and I have been through.
You are insane!
Hey!
Get your hands off Maria Luisa!
That thing brought a
curse upon our family!
Let go of Luisa!
Let go of her!
Maria Luisa!
She's mine!
She's mine!
That serves you right.
Maria Luisa is mine.
She
Maria Luisa!
Get out!
Of course, you can stay here.
Maybe you could
make a vlog about this?
I'm sure it'll be trending!
- Here.
- Friend, please.
Not this.
This is personal.
Sorry.
What's all this?
Why is there so much?
Oh, it's all from the mansion.
They were throwing it out.
I didn't want them to go to waste.
They all still work.
Let me help you with those.
You know I always knew Nicolai
was as bad as his mother.
Oh!
An iron?
Don't blame the kid.
He has good reason to be angry.
And he's the elder of the two.
You even brought a
rice cooker?
Insane!
It was insane.
I never thought Nicolai would
be the one to kick me out.
My god, a coffee maker!
Aren't you a coffee addict? Idiot.
Now, what could this be?
Oh!
An ironing board!
Of course.
You need to start ironing
your second-hand wardrobe.
This next one makes me nervous.
Oh, a lion!
My god!
That's Doa Evita's.
It'll be good to have
security in the house.
Did you really have to bring that?
You have too much stuff.
And what's in there?
Hold this.
This one's my favorite
maid from the mansion.
They won't miss her.
They have a lot of them.
A person?
How--
Hi, Ate May Anne.
Mm!
Don't be insecure.
She's legit.
From now on,
I don't want to hear Becky's
name from any of you.
If I do,
I'll kick you out.
Do we understand each other?
Yes, sir.
What's this?
Ate Lavinia, where's Becky?
Kuya, where's Becky?
I kicked her out.
He's not coming back.
And I won't ever allow him here ever again.
I knew it.
Do you know why I
was looking for her, Kuya?
I wanted to tell her I hit a
hundred thousand followers
because of our video together.
An achievement that neither you
nor Grandma,
but only Becky can appreciate.
You all don't care!
You don't even care
about this family!
Just go, then!
Go to your precious Becky!
Get out of this house!
Nicolai.
Mommy!
That was 15 years ago.
When Mom took her life.
All because of Becky.
And now...
Andrew is...
Don't worry about Andrew.
He'll be fine.
Everything will be fine, Nic.
Come here.
Yes, Harvs?
We're trending, Nic.
Hey!
Confirmed!
Harvey and Nicolai!
In your dreams, girl!
Your boobs have
nothing on that!
Your dream boy
was a fairy all along!
That's a lesson learned for you, girl!
Ha! Serves you right, Nicolai!
Karma is digital.
Let him be.
He's not worth it.
We have to make this right.
- What?
- What?
Give me some space.
Oh!
What do you know about Nicolai
that the public doesn't know?
Uhm...
none that I know of.
There's one thing, but...
he doesn't advertise it.
He sponsors children's education.
If I'm not mistaken,
about ten of them have
finished their studies.
And as of the moment
five more are in college.
Oh!
Doesn't the public know?
Why isn't there coverage?
Isn't he proud?
Nobody else knows.
It's just the two of us
and the foundation he works with.
He doesn't like
being sensationalized.
He prefers privacy
in everything he does.
That's probably
why he quit showbiz.
That's my kuya
full of surprises.
They get that from their Daddy.
Full of surprises.
Wait,
I have an idea.
I think I know how
to save you both
from the public's judgement.
These young men don't know
who funded their education.
What's important
is they're able to
pursue their studies.
Just like Nicolai.
Who or what he is,
was not important.
Even less important,
was for us to know
about his choices in life.
What's important,
is that he's able to benefit others.
To help others.
That is character.
Having empathy for others.
Having a good heart.
That is Nicolai.
So,
pack it in, guys!
Thank you, Sir Nicolai!
Are they really Nicolai's scholars?
Yes
They're the ones
he chose to sponsor.
And he sent them to school.
He had an ''audition''.
So, they're the best of the best.
Your partner's got good taste.
I'm a bit starstruck.
Right, baby boy?
Let's see here.
Father.
Mother.
I've finally bought the
plot you've dreamed of.
But I still feel empty.
Because I'm alone.
Becky!
My friend!
Hi!
Becky, my friend!
- Becky!
- Eme! Eme!
I missed you!
I missed you too!
Andrew.
- I really missed you.
- I missed you too, Andrew.
- Hi Becky!
- Hi Harvey!
Nice seeing you again.
Harvey.
What brings you here?
And you! I've been
watching your videos.
Almost all of them!
Really? I didn't see
you post a comment.
I did. It must have been buried.
You've gained a lot of followers!
Oh yeah.
Becky,
I'm sorry.
I told them where to find you.
Sir Nicolai, well,
he offered me a job at
La Bella Vida
in exchange for your whereabouts.
You know how it is.
Even gay people
need to eat to survive.
Come on.
I'm sorry.
You idiot.
Of course it's okay.
We're best friends forever.
Oh, you're a real winner! Thank you!
Oh, you...
Becky.
Thanks for the video, Becky.
Welcome.
I'm sorry.
Friends?
Friends.
Maria Luisa?
Maria Luisa!
Thank you, Nicolai.
Thank you.
Becky,
come back to the mansion.
We'll fulfill Daddy's last wish.
But Doa Evita never liked me.
I'm not welcome there.
Don't worry, Becky.
I'll handle Grandma.
Okay, fine.
I'll do it on one condition.
Stay here with me for a while.
I want you to experience what
your Daddy loved about this place.
A life in the country.
Deal?
That's all?
Free content.
We already brought our luggage.
Deal!
Deal.
- Deal!
- Deal!
Of course!
Deal!
Sorry,
deal.
We don't have guest rooms.
So we'll have to all share a room.
Let's go!
Let's check in.
There!
See?
Okay.
Great.
Maria Luisa's fixed now.
Thank you.
You're welcome, Big Sis.
I didn't know you
had pictures of us.
Oh, yes.
Your Dad told me stories about you.
He was so proud of you.
One more!
One, two, three!
Oh!
Let's do a video!
Come on, let's do a video.
Video?
Harvs, you go ahead.
Oh I know!
Let's do our high school number.
Like this!
Great!
[background chatter]
These are really good, Becky.
Thank you.
Becky?
Now, I know.
Know what?
Why you were...
Special to your Dad?
Why he loved you.
You know, Nicolai,
when my family died,
the only person I had left
was your father.
But he went and had
another family in Manila.
So...
When I found out
your mommy had died,
I made my choice
to do the right thing
so I could rest easy.
I left your father.
I was alone for 16 years.
I wish I knew sooner.
I wish I'd understood.
I wish things could
have been different.
I wish--
Nicolai,
Your father loved you.
He understood you.
Someone's here!
It's Valentina!
Come on!
Grandma?
Grandma!
Where is that Becky?
Where?
Grandma, we've
made a deal with Becky.
- We're staying here for a while.
- No.
I'm not leaving this place
unless you come
with me. Let's go!
Oh, we have a visitor!
Doa Evita!
Oh no!
You didn't tell us you were coming.
We had a party last night.
I would have saved you rice cake and
bitter gourd.
If you think you can
fool me like these two,
you're wrong.
I know your deal.
You're only after our wealth.
- Let's go!
- Hold on there!
Doa Evita,
why are you always
ticked off and angry at me?
I never did anything to you.
I just fell in love with Enrique.
He was your son, by the way.
The son you never visited
the whole time he was here.
Let's go.
It's over.
I'll take you home.
Becky, you're my home.
You're making up stories.
Enrique was a problem child.
That's why I sent
him to the country.
To change his ways.
Is that hard to understand?
Well...
It worked.
Then we agree.
Even when you turned
your back on him,
he did right by you.
He didn't rebel against you.
He obeyed your wish
to go back to Manila.
I should be the one to get mad.
Because you were the reason why
Enrique and I couldn't be together.
Me?
He chose me to be his family.
But you won't accept that!
Do you know why
he put me in his will?
Because he believed
that you could never
be a good mother!
You were never a good mother!
Let's just go.
We're going back to Manila.
- Let's go.
- No!
- Becky!
- You too!
Why? What did I do?
No one will have a new year!
No one in this family will change!
Especially you!
You should be ashamed.
Aren't you--
Grandma!
Doa Evita?
Doa Evita!
Madam?
Don't be shocked.
You aren't in heaven yet.
I'm not an angel.
Madam.
I came to tell you personally
that...
I'm giving it all up.
All of my shares
of La Bella Vida.
And I'm leaving the mansion
for good.
But
why would you do that?
Because those are your wishes.
To give you peace of mind.
I'm giving it up to you.
I just hope you'll
be less angry at me.
Thank you, Becky.
Thank you.
Thank you, too.
So,
we're good now, madam.
You look so cute.
And I'm sorry that I couldn't--
make you empanadas.
Yeah.
But don't worry,
I hope you'll appreciate
my little peace offering.
Really!
Tada!
Madam, I'm really sorry.
There weren't any flower shops.
So, I had to call
the funeral home.
Are you okay?
Oh! Madam!
Did I upset you?
Madam is stressed out!
- She might be tired.
- Wait!
You need some sunlight!
There! There! Madam!
Follow the light!
Uh, no!
I mean...
Look at the light!
Oh dear, go ahead.
Eternal rest!
No! I meant...
just rest. Rest!
Get your rest.
Actually, I love it.
Wow, that's a relief!
We made your Daddy go through that
because we wanted him to change.
We thought
we did it.
But it was Becky
who changed your father
for the better.
For life.
Kids,
Becky was never the
reason your mother died.
She had debts
from gambling.
She put our
business on the line.
Most of it was lost.
What you said is true.
Becky is not a bad person after all.
And I realized
that it's a person's character
that matters
and not one's personality.
Grandma.
Hey!
Don't be so dramatic!
- Sorry, madam.
- Stop it!
Sorry, madam.
Come on, friend.
We'll still see each other.
Well, I'll still miss you, you know.
I'll miss you too, Becky.
Pay respects to your Grandma.
- Take care.
- Take care of yourselves.
- Okay.
- Eme?
- Yes.
- Okay.
We'll be waiting in the van.
Take care.
Bye!
Take care!
Thank you, Tita Becky.
Just call me Becky.
Can we just call you
Mommy instead?
Dear...
"Mudra" suits me more.
You can call me whatever.
What's important is
I'm a mother to both of you.
And by the way,
if you ever get tired of the mansion,
you can always stay here.
I'll treat you like my own sons.
Thanks, our Mudra.
Take care.
Okay. Say goodbye
to your sister.
Bye, Maria Luisa.
Bye, Mudra!
Bye!
Hey guys,
welcome to my vlog!
For the special price of... 250!
Who wants this?
Yes! Someone did!
Wow!
Girls...
Attack!
Long distance relationship
is so difficult.
What I know is that
I'm the one going to Manila...
Why are you the one
who's being all dramatic?
Oh, sorry.
