Out of Order (2025) Movie Script

Boss! Let me drink first.
You're just in time. Have some noodles.
Miss Beautiful, another bowl of noodles.
Boss, Balat's here with a big knife.
He's running amok.
He saw you and his ex, Donnabelle,
coming out of a motel.
Come on! Let's go!
-You son of a bitch! Come out!
-He's here!
I'm going to kill you!
Santa Blanca is too small
for the two of us!
Wait! Hold on, Balat!
I will chop you into tiny bits!
Wait! Why are you so angry?
Didn't you and Donnabelle break up?
But I still love her so much!
Attorney!
You're so stubborn
I'll kill you, Attorney
You can kill me later.
We need to get you to the ER.
Call an ambulance.
And guess what happened?
I dragged my no-good husband to town!
We agreed that on Mondays,
Tuesdays and Wednesdays,
he'd cook dinner.
Then on Thursdays, Fridays
and Saturdays, it'd be my turn.
And on Sundays, we'd each cook our own.
Looks like you sorted it out.
He's being difficult!
He doesn't want to cook on Sundays!
He wants me to cook his too
or else he'll leave me!
I want to sue him, Attorney!
I want you to squeeze him.
Five billion pesos!
But where will he get that kind of money?
-I don't care!
-David Roman
Attorney, are you listening?
Look, Rosa,
if you go on with this
against your husband,
you'll spend more than you'll gain!
You don't need a lawyer!
You need marriage counseling!
You bastard!
How dare you say that to me?
You think I'm crazy?
I'm leaving!
Pay what you owe me!
Or else I'll kick you out!
And you!
You look like a snatcher!
You're giving me a headache!
Jerks!
Tolits, what's taking so long?
Boss, what do you expect me to do?
Your air conditioner
was already a piece of crap.
Now it's dead.
I'm not Jesus, I can't raise the dead.
Scram, Satan!
-Are you Attorney Roman?
-No.
I'm attorney Alex Roman.
Do you need a lawyer?
I don't believe in lawyers like you, man.
Gabbie. Your new receptionist.
Dude
We're looking for a receptionist
for our office, not for a cult.
You have any experience as a receptionist?
Do you have a resume with you?
Or what school did you come from?
-You have any records?
-None.
None.
I don't believe in academic shit
like that, man.
The real school is in the streets.
Not in the four corners of the classroom.
I'm a film dropout.
And I'm applying because
I want to see some shocking crimes.
Bodies torn apart.
And clever killers.
I'm going to make
an awesome documentary film.
See this?
I'm using this old camera because
it's cooler if the video looks raw.
And then
I'll get to Busan, to Berlin--
You're really hiring her?
What if she slits our throats
when we're sleeping?
We're lucky someone applied.
That sign's been there
for four years already.
You know we really need the help.
When can you start?
I can start now if you want.
But I'm telling you right now
I'm not calling you "boss" or "sir"
or "Your Honor."
I have no master.
If that's settled, can I get an advance?
I still have to pay
the rickshaw downstairs.
Okay, wait
Thanks, man.
It's your fault, boss.
If you're going to hookup,
you should make sure
she's not a tough guy's ex-girlfriend.
Boss, why don't you just find someone
you can be with forever?
Forever isn't a thing anymore.
What? That's a tragedy!
There's no forever?
Once, maybe, there was someone.
I was a dumbass then.
That's what I'm talking about!
You have a TOTGA!
This is the only time
I'll talk about this.
Sure, yeah, there was one.
In law school, there you go.
I was so in love with her, man!
Aside from being beautiful,
sexy,
resourceful,
what I loved most about her is
she was really smart!
That's how it is, isn't it?
When you're really in love,
the person you love looks cute,
even if it's idiotic.
For example
When she
bites her pen
-The end of her ballpen
-Yeah.
She bites it when she's deep in thought.
So when we find a pen in the classroom,
we immediately know it's hers
because it's been chewed.
And here's another thing.
She has a tattoo on her wrist.
Two swallows.
Birds.
She got them because she was drunk.
Yeah.
We were happy
Until we weren't.
Hey!
Wait!
Hold on!
Long time no see
I swear, I can pay!
I have a new client, big time!
I don't give a shit
where you get my money.
One month, you understand, Alex?
Boss, what about six months, huh?
Six months?
Like an installment plan?
Let's go.
I'll be back for you.
Those are great shots, man.
Where were you hiding there?
I was hiding by the plants, boss.
But I couldn't leave
because Mr. Chang's car arrived.
You think Mrs. Chang
would be satisfied with this?
Yeah, give it to me on a flash drive
so we can get paid.
Hey, boss. I was wondering
I always thought lawyers were paid well.
So how come
you're still poor?
Asshole!
I'm just kidding, boss!
How are we supposed to earn big?
We've got small time clients.
-Remember Mr. Ipe?
-Yeah.
What happened after we got his cow back?
What did he pay us?
Five chickens.
How can I bill him more than that?
He doesn't have any money.
How?
I wish I'd just joined a band.
I didn't really want to be a lawyer.
So why did you become a lawyer?
It is what it is.
My father's an asshole, he forced me.
How are you, Attorney Roman?
Why? Can't I check up
on an esteemed colleague?
Don't fuck with me. What do you want?
And I saw on the TV
you have a top law firm.
I'm not so sure why you're looking for me.
There are a lot of lawyers here,
sure, but
Okay. Where are you?
Didn't you hear it the first time?
I had nothing to do
with the victim's death.
You have no business in Santa Blanca.
I don't know.
I just woke up--
Who's the victim?
I don't know her.
I just woke up in the motel
with the corpse.
I remember nothing.
Do you hear yourself?
You don't remember anything?
This is going nowhere, then.
I'll tell you what, I'll just file some--
But I'm doing this for Mom.
Art, music, literature, high marks.
But when it comes to math and science,
you almost flunked.
How are you going to be successful
if you're wasting your time
on useless things?
Haven't I told you?
I don't want to be a lawyer!
You have no choice, do you understand?
You have no choice, okay?
David! Stop it!
Your son is not an extension of you!
Because you coddle him just like that!
Don't talk to me about
the battles you fight!
Is David Roman really your father?
Shocking, man. That's awesome.
Isn't it obvious? We're both named Roman.
The best lawyer in the country
is your father.
You're a far cry from your father.
Thank you very much for your sarcasm!
Look, boss, all I want to say is,
I'm not a lawyer.
I didn't even finish high school.
But even I know you shouldn't
take a relative as a client.
It's not right!
Let's get something straight.
I don't have any emotional attachment
to my father.
We haven't spoken in a while.
I came to Santa Blanca
to get away from him.
That's all there is to it.
I took this case for my mother's sake.
And even if he's like that,
I still have to represent him.
Because everyone has a right
to have a lawyer.
Money's not too bad either.
Didn't you count it?
Look, I'm just here
to witness heated exchanges of
Dude, I bet you've won a lot of cases.
I bet when you show up,
prosecutors shake in terror, huh?
What are you talking about?
This is the first time
one of his cases is going to court.
Let's leave then. We've lost, let's go!
So that's how you put it?
Just relax and watch how I work.
This face See this face?
I maybe a first-timer,
but I'm sure I can charm the judge.
So just relax.
Cool.
Wait, why is it taking so long
It's 8:55! You're running late!
My watch stopped!
All right! I'll go ahead!
-Break a leg!
-Fix your clothes!
What happened to you? You're late.
Your necktie is a mess.
How are you?
What are you doing in Santa Blanca?
I know it's so hard to get into
the public prosecutor's office.
But here you are, wow.
You're still as brilliant as ever.
Since you're here, maybe we can talk?
So Public Prosecutor Jenny Templo
is the reason
why you don't get into
serious relationships, boss.
What are you talking about?
When you're really in love,
whatever the person you love does
is cute.
I knew that would happen.
Hey, man, why are you recording?
What we're doing here is confidential.
I said I'd be making a documentary, right?
Are you stupid?
It's all right.
Boss, this is the testimony
of Brenda Sebastian, the housekeeper.
There wasn't anything strange
that evening.
Lovers having their trysts.
Mistresses with their aging sugar daddies.
They tell us to knock three times.
When we've knocked thrice
and no one answers,
and there's no "do not disturb" sign,
we can enter the room.
Help!
What do we do? There's a witness.
Are you even sure your father is innocent?
It looks like Attorney Jenny
has strong evidence.
The evidence is strong, yes.
But remember
Until the prosecution proves
that there is no other conclusion
with the evidence at hand.
And that's our job.
To show there's reasonable doubt.
Like I disappeared.
My head felt heavy.
Boss, what's so funny about that?
Sorry, I was just thinking.
I know my father well, he's a germophobe.
It's impossible for anyone
to force him to,
much less for him to willingly
enter a motel like Sangria Inn.
That means your father
was telling the truth
when he said he was drugged.
By whom?
He has a lot of enemies.
Someone should have seen him entering
or being taken into the motel that night.
Well, boss,
here's a copy of the motel's logbook.
This is not my dad's signature.
So someone signed in for him?
We need to look at the CCTV footage.
All right, I'll go to the motel.
I need to know what her relationship is
with my father.
Tolits will get the CCTV footage
from the motel.
Based on your sworn testimony,
Miss Witness,
you saw the accused killing the victim?
-Yes.
-Objection, Your Honor.
Speculative.
The witness didn't actually see
the accused killing the victim.
Miss Witness, you stated here,
"I saw a man covered in blood."
"He was holding
a bloody woman in his arms."
Is this correct?
Yes.
How far were you from the bloody man
and the bloody woman?
About eight to ten feet.
If you saw the bloody man,
could you recognize him?
Yes.
Is he here, inside the courtroom?
Yes.
Can you point him out?
It's him.
Mr. Gatdula, who were you with
when you responded that night
to Sangria Inn?
I was with Police Corporal Dalisay Gomez.
My partner and I were on patrol.
We were radioed by dispatch
to investigate a potential homicide.
Attorney Roman was dazed.
We could barely talk to him.
Get down!
According to this,
you found the drugs fentanyl
and benzodiazepine.
If used on humans, these can cause
dizziness and unconsciousness.
So, Mr. Witness,
can you say someone
administered these drugs to the accused?
It's asking the witness
to share his own opinion.
But, Your Honor,
since Mr. Gatdula is a cop,
he is aware of these drugs, right?
What the hell are you doing?
You stated in your sworn testimony
on page two,
that the accused requested
to have the victim's body bag opened.
Is this correct?
When the body bag was opened,
what did the accused do?
He looked at the victim,
and then he cried.
What did Mr. Roman say to the victim,
Mr. Witness?
He was crying as he said sorry.
He was crying while apologizing.
I haven't asked a question yet,
Your Honor.
Sir, you're the examiner
who performed the autopsy.
-Is this correct?
-Yes.
Is this true?
Yes, there was a laceration wound
on the victim's neck.
Based on the trajectory of the wound,
her throat was quickly cut.
We haven't submitted
the CCTV footage of the motel yet.
But we have already requested for it.
I already said no! No!
Don't you understand that?
Is she a client in your law firm?
Why are you looking for a connection
between the victim and my law firm?
if you're not telling me everything?
What is the truth?
I've already told you
what you need to know.
Uncle.
This car
was Nick Maximo, Dave Roman
and Pablo Mandala.
Aren't you wondering why, until now,
this scandal hasn't blown up yet?
Thank you, thank you.
First my father's mind is made up.
But why?
Uncle
Are you sure you want to give me your SUV
for that shitty car?
When you get to my age
I just want to preserve
the artifacts of my past.
If there's anything left to preserve.
Like I said,
we'll run to each other again
What do you think, Attorney?
Will she be impressed?
She's a shallow woman
if she only looks at the car
and not the character of a man.
There's still a sticker
for Roman, Maximo and Mandala Law.
Excuse me, miss, one black coffee please.
To give me confidence. Thank you.
Why did you follow me to Santa Blanca?
The nerve!
You, how did you end up here?
I saw this guy getting beaten up.
He was being accused
of stealing food from an eatery.
That's it.
Actually, I wasn't yet
cynical back then, so
And since that happened,
the guy didn't leave my side.
Tolits, the guy who's always with me.
After that,
I decided to open my own law office here.
Even if you didn't want to show it.
You wanted to be an edgy boy.
Admit it,
the edgy sad boy act was effective.
You were pretty smitten with me
back in the day.
You know, I said
Don't worry, I'm not hung up
on that anymore, in fact--
Because of your father
Why?
Because that asshole's father
is your dad's compadre?
And because of your dad
I became a prosecutor because
I wanted to help cleanse society.
Because I want to incarcerate
all the monsters pretending to be human.
Like your father.
I know it's hot,
here are some cold treats.
So cold! Thanks, boss! You're the best!
You know I love my employees.
This is how it should be.
But it'll be better
if you buy a new AC unit.
Yeah, well, an AC unit is expensive.
Let's have cold treats for now.
So what's your report? Any news?
Fresh leads?
We have two leads.
Buknoy is a crazy homeless man
usually seen in Purok Diamante.
Near Sangria Inn.
I talked to some people there.
Nadja was usually seen there
giving Buknoy food, talking with him.
All right, maybe Buknoy can shed light on
the relationship between my dad and Nadja.
How about you, Tolits?
It's a positive on the CCTV.
It'll show Attorney David and Nadja
entering the room.
Problem is someone stole the computer
where the footage was stored.
A former security guard now in hiding.
-Boss, she has a long rap sheet.
-She's probably already escaped.
We'll have to be resourceful.
For now, we follow the Buknoy lead.
How are you?
Buknoy, can I ask you a question?
Do you know the woman in this picture?
That's Nadja.
Yes, that's Nadja.
Someone told us that you're friends,
that she gives you food.
This guy, you know him?
We go watch at Gigi's.
You watch at Gigi's?
Buknoy,
do you know what Nadja
and David Roman's relationship is?
You need to go.
So, your father and Nadja
do know each other.
But they were never seen
in photos together.
They're hiding the fact
that they know each other.
I don't know.
You son of a
-Take it easy.
-Sorry, boss.
So
My debt is paid.
Bunsoy, count this.
Answer!
Yes, boss!
I added a little extra, Baltazar.
I need a favor.
What favor?
I need you to find this one.
Seriously?
She was born Nathan Galang.
Artist and bar singer.
But she could afford to go to Thailand
for a sex change.
Maybe she has a rich boyfriend.
I'll be right back. Excuse me.
Don't be mad, okay? But
What if
your old man is Nadja's sugar daddy?
And they had a falling out.
And there you go, it ended in violence.
Right? Or he didn't know
Nadja was born a man,
and when he found out, he went berserk--
Tolits, you know what?
I don't really care
who my father chooses for a partner.
But one thing's clear.
I've never known him as transphobic.
He's got no opinion--
Alex, it's Junilin. She's on the phone!
Is this Junilin?
Yes.
I got your number from the tall guy
who looks like a monster.
Bunsoy.
-He said you were looking for me.
-Yes.
I need something from you.
You took something from the motel.
The computer with the CCTV footage
for Sangria?
Is it still with you?
I'll buy it, name your price.
It's still with me, Attorney.
But it's not money I need.
Someone's hunting me.
Someone wants me dead.
The people who were
with the victim in Sangria.
People?
It wasn't just the two of them?
You'll see it in the video.
The hard drive is yours.
Just help me.
Don't bring cops.
We don't know if any of them are involved.
I'll cooperate, but I need protection.
Do you understand?
All right, I'll help you. Where are you?
I have a bad feeling about this.
This is the kind of thing I see
on Noyflix Horror.
The heroes enter an alley
then zombies eat them.
Really, Tolits?
You're scared of zombies?
Not muggers, kidnappers, junkies, rapists?
You're right.
What if they rape me, boss?
And then kill you two?
Wait.
We need to be careful.
This isn't just a case.
Move, move, move!
Call an ambulance!
Okay.
Uncle.
That's why he cannot understand
why he was in the motel.
He doesn't remember anything
that happened.
He doesn't even remember that
he really killed the victim.
What is that? Stop! Stop!
It's terrible! It's driving me crazy!
It's obvious that somebody's missing
in the middle!
Where the heck is Olga?
Ma'am, that hag messaged me earlier.
She's still at the construction site,
doing overtime.
It'll take her an hour to get here.
Goodness, it's driving me insane!
You'll be the death of me!
Just continue! Continue!
Excuse me, are you Ms. Gigi?
You have the same body size as Olga's.
Her costume will fit you!
Dress up the guy
who looks like a snatcher.
And I want to see you complete right now!
Wait! Wait, boss! What's going on?
We'll make you a star!
Ms. Gigi, can I speak to you about Nadja?
The poor child.
I'm sorry, Ms. Gigi,
for bringing bad news.
Our sisters need to know
what happened to her.
Maybe after the performance tonight.
Or else it'll affect our show.
But wait, Attorney.
Did they catch Nadja's killer?
I have to come clean
about something, Ms. Gigi, I am
the lawyer
of the person accused of killing Nadja.
That's really impossible.
Dave loves Nadja very, very much.
He loves her?
The truth is the old man comes here often,
especially if Nadja
has a performance in the club.
Here in your bar?
Yes.
That's why it's impossible
for Dave to have hurt Nadja.
Why?
Are you out of your mind?
What are they, then?
Father and daughter.
The truth is the old man comes here often,
especially if Nadja
has a performance in the club.
Why are you looking for a connection
between the victim and my law firm?
Dave loves Nadja very, very much.
I don't know her.
What are they, then?
Father and daughter.
Do you want to try it?
Dave says you like music.
Nadja was the same.
Are you sure that
you won't testify
in Dad and Nadja's case?
Your dad said I don't need to.
Whoever did this
I could sense Dad's fear of them
whenever we were talking.
If it will help,
here's your dad's computer.
You'll have to ask him for the password.
I'm sure he won't give it to me.
He doesn't want me
to go deeper into this investigation.
But don't worry.
I swear to you, I will find
whoever killed my sister.
But that's exactly what we wanted, right?
Since our college days,
because we wanted prominent cases.
Because we were arrogant!
And so
Nice!
Just look at that damn view!
I just know that
you don't want to come with us.
You want to go somewhere else.
You want a different table.
That's because
Isn't that right?
Alex, here you are!
David,
you have to be careful, in a few years,
a different Attorney Roman
will be in news reports.
Didn't I tell you
I don't want to see that instrument?
I don't want to see that.
You won't be able to buy good gifts
aside from
All you can buy is this shitty mug!
He really did that?
That instinct of his
is the reason why he's a good lawyer.
But what he did was still inexcusable.
Just another lesson learned.
since college.
Thanks.
You know,
I know that what happened earlier
I can't believe you.
I humiliated you?
We need to talk about
this family's problems.
But you shouldn't take them out on Alex,
your frustrations about my condition.
What do you know of love, Dad?
You can't even show Mom that!
You only know how to love yourself.
Your life and your success!
What
Right?
A better idea.
She's your daughter.
She was born as
Her mother is Sofia Galang.
Your former executive assistant.
You put her through college.
And it was you who
gave her the money to go to Thailand
I'm Nadja's father. I had her with Sofia.
My God!
She was born when
She was born when my mother was sick.
You had guts to do that
while she was undergoing chemo.
You betrayed her.
You did all that.
You got your mistress pregnant.
You're not going to change.
That's you.
I'm exhausted.
I'm tired.
And I will find
whoever killed my sister.
Son, listen to me.
I know I was never a good father to you.
I wasn't a good husband to your mother.
Even now, I bear that.
I want to fix our relationship.
You're still a lightweight
when it comes to drinking.
I don't know how you do it.
For such a small woman,
your alcohol tolerance is off the charts.
You know what?
That's the difference between you
rich kids and we who grew up poor.
When you puke,
you go home to Mommy and Daddy.
But us, we can never give up.
What I know is
I will never give up on you.
He didn't know.
He thought he knew the defendant.
He thought he was a good person.
He victimized another woman.
It's not his fault if
that I can't forgive.
Things that made him
I wish you never have kids
so there'll be less stupid people
like you.
I wish your dad just wiped you on a wall
so you don't spread stupidity.
You look like a wall.
At least my dad loves me.
You're never been loved
because you're a plague.
-Hi, boss.
-I bought some snacks.
You lost.
No, I didn't.
Thanks, boss!
Okay.
We know that my father didn't kill Nadja.
He was framed.
Who killed her
and who framed my father?
It's whoever killed Junilin,
who stole the hard drive with the video
of whoever took Attorney David
and Nadja to Sangria Inn.
Actually, here.
I just got
my father's laptop.
Problem is I can't open it
because of the password.
I'm going out.
Looks like we're going
to be here all day--
I'm in, boss.
-But how--
-Boss, have you forgotten?
That was my first job.
Hacking laptops and cell phones.
Dude, are we sure we're going to find
sensitive files there?
Why would your father
even hide files there?
He knows that laptop can be subpoenaed.
Boss, it looks like Gabbie is right.
This is clean, just documents.
And if we find anything there,
we can't use it as evidence, right?
This. What's this?
Boss, it needs another password.
We can't hack that, it'll get deleted.
You only get three tries.
Try "Nadja."
Boss, what if
we use your name first?
You.
All right.
Then "Elizabeth."
Nope.
All right, try "Elizabeth."
Wait! Wait a bit.
What's this?
Receipts
of Roman, Maximo and Mandala Law firm.
They have politicians,
generals, businessmen.
Boss, it was Attorney Nick
who framed your father.
This rabbit hole is deep.
What do you want?
Stay right there.
Gabbie, we can't stay here! Let's go!
Hey! What are you doing? Let's go!
All right, this is what we'll do.
We can pass through Emerald Street.
Behind the church. After that,
there's a police station, we can
What is it?
Gabbie, what's this?
I'm sorry, man.
You're a spy.
She is.
Why are you recording?
What we're doing here is confidential.
So someone signed in for him?
We need to look at the CCTV footage.
All right, I'll go to the motel.
And if we find anything there,
we can't use it as evidence, right?
Boss, it was Attorney Nick
who framed your father.
He ordered your sister's death.
She was my eyes.
So you won't come to
this exact conclusion,
but you're stubborn.
I'm sorry.
I tried my best to keep you from--
I gave you everything, boy.
The dementia,
so your father could be acquitted.
Nadja and David's real relationship,
to show that a father
cannot do that to his own daughter.
But the places you shouldn't ever go to,
that's exactly where you went.
Are you going to kill us,
just like you killed my sister?
If that was my intention,
I would have done that long ago.
Always with the killing.
Killing! My clients are so brutal!
This shouldn't have happened.
No one should have died.
This shouldn't have happened.
I treated you and Nadja
like my own children.
And David
as a real friend.
I love all of you.
I wanted to wake your father up
to reality.
That when he retires,
you'll take his place
as my partner.
Or you can pursue your musical career,
like Nadja.
Everything was in place.
It was everything you wished for.
But all these plans
were destroyed by your father.
It's not too late.
The pieces are still in place.
You don't have to do anything, Alex,
just follow the script.
David will be freed.
Things will go back to how they were.
Things are not going back, Nadja is dead.
I am not responsible for Nadja's death!
You want justice?
You will face the court.
You will save your father.
You will use his dementia.
And we will all find peace.
I forgot something.
If you
continue investigating the organization
My name is Gabriela Boro.
Before anything else,
I'd like to apologize to Alex and Tolits.
They're great to work with.
They became my friends.
Even if Tolits is a jerk.
That's why it's hard for me
to betray them.
This is my testimony.
On this drive, you'll see a video
we were ordered to delete.
You will face the court.
You will save your father.
And we will all find peace.
What a nice office!
Which one is heavier here?
Boss, is this gold?
You're the boss.
Right?
What if you can only run a nursing home?
You jerk!
But I'm not going to wait around
playing golf.
The only thing is I noticed something.
Son, I noticed something about you.
It seems like
you abandoned your music.
I know you have a new passion, which is
you being a lawyer,
and you're really serious about it, but
Because, if you didn't know,
I have a weekly gig at Randy's bar.
Uncle David, can I speak first?
You don't have to apologize.
I may not have felt what you went through
because of what happened to your sister
So
I'm a lawyer.
But being
May I speak to Alex, Uncle David?
All right, we're going over there.
-Let's go.
-No, I'm good.
There's bread.
No, it's better over there.
Yeah! All right Attorney Daddy, okay.
Congratulations again.
You off to the next case?
Dad and I were talking
about putting up a new law firm, and
Me?
We need someone as brave
and as fierce as you in the courtroom.
Attorney Maximo is being investigated.
His connections are too powerful.
For now, yes.
They're quiet.
But it'll only be a matter of time
before they strike back at us.
That's why
we have to be ready for that.
Your enemy's strength is formidable.
Isn't this what you want?
