The Housemaid (2021) Movie Script

[instrumental music]
[street noise]
Hey, let's go!
Where are you going?
Let's go see the lady
who committed suicide.
What?
- Why? Let's not. Let's just go.
- Come on!
What the heck!
Let's just hang for a while.
We'll just take a peek.
I heard she's pretty.
I heard a woman jumped off a building.
Traffic's going to be hell.
We won't get a ride home.
Why are you so interested in suicide?
It's so scary!
Hep. Pull over.
[soft music]
Can I borrow money?
I have no salary yet.
Is Daisy here?
Yes, ma'am.
She's in the shower upstairs.
Want me to get her for you?
Just tell her I'll be waiting at
the coffee shop across the street.
Okay, ma'am.
Sorry for going straight to your house.
That's how I do things when I'm hiring.
I do a background check on the references.
I need to know your living conditions.
Not the chatty type, huh?
I heard you have a
property in Sapang Palay?
But it doesn't have a land title, right?
Yes, ma'am.
I'm renting it out.
[soft music]
[ominous music]
Left side.
Five reps.
One. Sound breathing.
Two. Open your hand.
Three.
We're done already.
Come up, slowly.
Slowly.
You came highly recommended by Miss Martha.
Thank you for taking the offer.
- Excuse me, ma'am.
- Thank you.
I should be the one to
thank you, Ma'am Roxanne.
Miss Puffer Fish is fine.
It's huge, isn't it?
It's huge.
Very.
That's because there's two of them inside.
Miss Martha, you didn't tell her?
Miss Martha, I told you to
make clear all the details.
Ah, I'm good with twins, ma'am.
Miss Martha, double her salary, too.
Alright. I'll have the contracts updated.
Your uniform.
That should fit you.
You're lucky.
You're on the same floor with our masters.
Ma'am especially wanted
you to be near your ward.
I'm a little embarrassed.
Only wear that within the mansion, okay.
I've never worn anything
like this in any of my jobs.
Then wear it.
You haven't been paid
this much in all of your jobs.
As you say, ma'am.
Ma'am undies are in the bathroom.
She wants them hand washed.
You know how pregnant women
are, especially when it's that big
one sneeze and pee comes out.
Alright, ma'am.
The laundry basket's over there.
Hi, Nami!
I'm Daisy, your new nanny.
Nami, I told you about your
new nanny arriving today, yes?
Yes, I know.
Aren't you going to greet your mom?
After I change out of these
clothes and wash my hands.
Just leave it there.
I can dress myself.
Alright.
Just call me if you need anything.
Should I close this?
Yes, please.
So, Nami.
How's your new nanny?
She likes me a lot.
Did she say that?
No.
So how did you know?
I saw it on her face.
Daisy.
Eat.
Sir and Ma'am aren't
going to eat these leftovers.
We'll just throw these out. Yeah.
[spits]
You're crazy!
[car honks]
Sir is here.
[suspenseful music]
Sir, we'll be going.
Daddy!
She's my new yaya! She likes me a lot.
Mrs. Lim recommended her to me.
She worked for her for two years
while self-supporting in college.
Alright, go on upstairs.
Tell mommy I'll be right up.
Okay, dad!
Sir William.
My name is Daisy, sir.
Good evening.
You are important in this house.
Like Miss Martha.
Send up the red wine.
Madam.
Were you grumpy all day again?
It's difficult to breathe
and my tummy is itchy.
You're over-exercised, maybe.
Will, I need to be healthy
for a natural delivery.
Well, the doctors say it wouldn't be easy.
Of course they'll say that.
C-section is faster and more expensive.
They will do what I tell them.
Are you sure you can do
it without anesthesia?
He calls you "madam", then?
Okay.
Send this up to their room.
This time
we're getting twins.
I know
and I'm okay.
I don't want you to worry.
Let's see.
I felt them kick earlier.
Yeah?
Well, I don't know which
one of the twins moved.
Soon. Very soon.
Did you know that Daisy majored in
Early Childhood Development in college?
But she dropped out.
Does that have anything to
do with actually raising kids?
Well, at least she's fond of kids.
I think she'll do well with our kids.
Daisy.
Nami! Why are you still up?
Can you leave the door open?
Like this?
A little more.
That will do.
Alright.
I'll keep my door open for you from now on.
Thank you.
[soft music]
Who is playing?
The cup.
Give this to sir.
Where, ma'am? To the master's bedroom?
Follow the sound of the piano.
[plays piano]
The Beethoven sounded nice.
I'm glad you liked it.
Bye, Dad.
Bye, honey.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Breakfast?
Yes, please.
Let's go have breakfast.
Yes, please.
[water running]
I think sir just arrived.
I have to clean the bathtub now.
Okay, do the pedicure later.
[soft music]
Try it.
[soft piano music]
Should I fire Mario already, Will?
Since you can drive too, Daisy.
You probably know how to
use a gun or self-defense?
Then I could fire Pijo, Will's bodyguard.
You'll be his bodyguard.
[piano music]
Nami,
why don't you jump in?
Water's too cold.
Don't worry, the pool has a heater.
Okay then.
[soft music]
I got you!
The water's not that cold, right?
This pool is too small. I've had enough.
Huh?
Nami.
Nami.
Let her be. Maybe she's
too tired from the trip.
Cover yourself already,
you might catch a cold.
Wait, my phone.
Go on inside.
There you go.
I feel so heavy.
It's okay.
I feel like a watermelon.
It's cold!
Okay, go.
I'm so heavy.
I'll get my phone later.
Okay.
[soft music]
Take it off already.
You sure you want to see the bulge?
You know...
why...
I'm pushing for natural delivery?
[moaning]
Because I want six children.
Are you sure, hon?
I'm happy with three.
Only poor people
limit the number of their children.
The richer you are,
the more children you can have.
Ouch!
Ouch.
I told you not to put it in too deep.
This isn't working.
I'm tired.
Can we just sleep?
[dramatic music]
Daisy?
Thank you.
[dramatic music]
Ow! Ow!
- Sorry, sorry, ma'am Roxanne.
- That was too far.
Jenny can't sleep.
She's been looking out the window
and as she looks up at the stars
like pretty little Sampaguitas
she swears she could hear the voice
of Grandma Priming, over and over.
Tomorrow, we will visit your mother.
Tomorrow, she will
finally see her mother...
Nami?
Are you asleep?
No, I'm listening.
Continue.
Look at this lady.
She looks like you, doesn't she?
Hmm...
just a little bit.
But you know what,
I think you're cuter.
[soft music]
The next day, Grandma Priming
prepared their snacks for the journey.
Congratulations to your son, Madam Martha.
[soft music]
[soft music]
You look tired.
Is my wife wearing you down?
No, sir.
Don't worry. I'll talk to her.
Have some.
Drink.
[piano music]
[moaning]
I'm scared.
Just keep going.
Don't.
Please don't.
Stop!
[moaning]
[plays piano]
Get the check.
That's enough.
Come on, let's eat.
It's getting so big, ma'am.
Wow, that's a strong kick.
Are you ready to come out?
Hello, baby.
You'll wake up in the morning
and all day you think about how
you're going to get through the day.
You just take a deep breath
and pretend you're a rock.
Is it obvious
that I'm sick of this job?
My mother and I came to work for Ester.
She wasn't that wealthy back in the day.
But she treats Roxanne like a princess.
Some stroke of luck
she met William.
Now she's living like a queen.
So you've been serving under
them for a long time, ma'am.
Yes.
Have you ever had a boyfriend?
None yet.
Suitors?
Someone tried once but
that's over now.
It's just a waste of time.
Really, now?
William is such an asshole!
He is so horny!
This is on you, Martha.
Why'd you go bringing
in a pretty assistant?
I didn't pick her.
Your daughter did.
I brought in three girls,
Roxanne picked Daisy.
I don't think Daisy has any idea
that she's pregnant.
She's childish.
Really?
Virgin?
It won't even cross her mind.
I doubt she hatched a plan
to get a baby with William.
But what do you think will happen?
What will she do when she finds out?
She won't be much of a bother.
She won't make a scene.
It's not like her.
Well, if she's so innocent
why'd she open her legs for William?
She's an idiot!
You know what, to be honest
You should blame Roxanne
because she's the one who likes Daisy.
My daughter's no different.
Another dum-dum.
So innocent.
It got me thinking, Martha.
What would happen to
our children without us?
Congratulations.
I heard Mateo's a fiscal lawyer now
Does Mateo know that
he became a prosecutor
through William's connections?
Ah, I left that part out.
Didn't need to mention it.
Anyway.
I know you're very proud of your son
and you should be
proud of yourself, Martha.
What else should I know about?
Your boss barged into your room?
He was naked
and you didn't say a word?
I did protest a little.
Then he gave me some wine,
which I drank.
What? Have you lost your mind?
No, I just gave in.
His looks helped.
Life's hard when you're thirsty.
Sorry, I have needs.
So
How do the rich get it on?
This is what came out of his thing.
What is this?
Shit!
That's huge!
Really huge!
You have no plans of leaving the mansion?
Nope.
Aren't you awkward with his wife?
I don't mind it.
It's done and over with.
But something did happen.
You can't change that.
[soft guitar music]
Ma, why did you make Daisy clean the house?
You told me she knows a lot of skills
so I had everything
waxed up to the chandelier.
Besides, it's dusty in here.
It's bad for you, remember?
Son of a bitch.
[suspenseful music]
Oh my god!
Can you help me please?
Mom! Do something! Do something!
Help me, please!
[screaming]
Oh my god!
The patient only suffered a mild concussion
but she feels some pain in her hip
area so we need to run some tests
From what height did she fall?
Second floor?
She's with child.
Do you know who the father is?
Is it Will?
Mom, are you sure?
I'm one hundred percent sure.
Thanks to Martha.
[phone rings]
Yes, Martha?
She has a slight concussion.
Bruised pelvis.
She has to rest. Two days.
That's not what I want to know.
The doctor didn't mention anything.
Daisy's hardy. No bleeding.
Martha, maybe it's you who made a mistake?
Strap that girl down, okay?
And get back here.
I have something for her.
Okay.
Your husband's going
on a business trip, yes?
Yes.
He'll be in Taipei for four days.
Good.
I'll iron things out before he gets back.
Mom
Please, can you just leave me alone?
You wanted a wealthy husband.
This is part of the contract
so bear with it.
So what do you want me to do?
Pretend that I know nothing?
Exactly. You're not completely clueless.
[soft music]
Is this ward 2?
Yes, ma'am.
Madam Ester wishes to
ask for your forgiveness.
She says to get some rest.
Don't think about work for now.
That must be heavy.
Did you carry it all the
way from the parking lot?
Here.
It's a cheque.
She wants you to have it.
A consolation.
You probably realized by now
that for our employers,
everything is easy.
They just throw money at it
and all their problems are gone.
It takes them no effort. But
for us, it's a decent trade-off.
Focus on getting better.
Martha.
Ester.
Miss Martha,
do you think I'm still the same
little squirt you looked after?
[soft music]
No, ma'am.
That's right. So?
Why are you spreading rumors
about my husband to other people
without my knowledge?
What am I to you?
Mom
Uh,
it won't happen again,
ma'am Roxanne.
Hi.
William, you're home early?
Ah, your daughter texted me and
told me you're here so I ran home.
How are you?
That's sweet of you.
What else did she say?
Nothing in particular, why?
Am I missing something?
No.
Thank you for coming home early.
Surprising.
My wife's being extra sweet tonight.
Mommy...
You must be the reason so maybe
we should do this more often.
I was thinking the same thing.
I don't see your assistant hanging around.
I brought her to the hospital
because she had a high fever.
- Just now?
- Mhm.
What did the doctor say?
Probably just exhaustion.
She will stay there overnight?
She'll be back in tomorrow.
Miss Martha!
You're taking a while in
there. Aren't you done packing?
Why is that?
Getting old, are you?
You should resign, then.
Roxanne, you little bitch.
I raised you.
Your goddamned mother
promised me all sorts of things
"We're like sisters!"
"I'll take care of you!"
Here I am, 31 years, a maid.
I am a mother
of a prosecutor
of the Republic of the Philippines!
Here I am.
You sons of bitches.
You fucking rich folk.
You'll have your reckoning.
You can't buy everything.
No.
Look what you did to me.
You robbed me of my life.
I took care of you!
All of you!
Did all you asked!
Motherfuckers!
Fuck all of you!
How dare you! Fuck all of you!
Fuck!
Fuck!
Just because you're rich
I did everything for you
as your maid
for 31 years...
a maid.
Fuck you, you're going
to get what you deserve.
You can't have all the good days.
Fuck.
I won't let it happen.
Fuck you!
Fuck all of you!
Ah, we didn't notice it right away.
Look at this.
That's the fertilized egg in your womb.
It's only been four weeks.
Is it your first baby?
It's a blessing. Don't be scared.
So is your boss responsible?
Your savings blew up all of a sudden.
Who knew you'd be
spending it all on your baby?
It's a good thing you have cash set aside.
But hold on a minute
if your boss is the father
he should shoulder everything!
Have you ever aborted a baby?
Ugh, Jesus!
Pack your things and
get out of that mansion.
And then what?
Sort out what to do
with your newborn later.
Don't worry. I'll help you.
I'll help you.
Daisy knows she's with child.
That bitch.
What did my husband ever see in her?
Just a cheap maid.
I wish this house had a third floor.
I'm furious.
[safe zone]
This will keep your body healthy
and the baby, too.
Make sure your employers don't see this
Thank you.
I'm sorry, Daisy.
I didn't watch where I was going.
I didn't dream this would happen.
You know I didn't mean to do it, yes?
Nami's milk?
No, ma'am. My friend just gave it to me.
This is Gina.
Hello, ma'am.
It's good for your body.
I should have bought it for you.
Ah, it's alright, ma'am.
I'll feel better in no time.
Daisy! I'm late for work. Bye.
I'll go ahead.
Martha.
[suspenseful music]
Finish your milk.
When you've drank all of it, let us
know Martha will buy more for you.
[dramatic music]
I feel different in this house.
Because sir's not around?
That's not what I meant, ma'am.
I just feel off.
I don't feel comfortable anymore.
I feel like maybe I should quit.
Then quit.
Tomorrow.
But I don't have a replacement yet.
Say goodbye to Roxanne.
I'll take care of the rest.
What if I just cast her out?
What if after three to four years
she comes with the baby?
As long as she carries
evidence of William's betrayal
You'll never stop thinking of her.
What will I do, Ma?
Ma'am Roxanne, Daisy
would like to say something.
Sit down.
What is it?
I would like to resign, ma'am.
I'm afraid my body isn't
able to stand the work here.
I treated you like my own family
and you do this to me?
Uh, I'll get the food ready...
Stay there!
I'm so sorry, ma'am.
[dramatic music]
Why are you saying sorry?
Did you do something?
Mom?
I'll go straight to the point.
How much for your womb
in exchange for that
thing inside your tummy?
Two million?
Three million?
Just get rid of that
thing as soon as possible
and I don't want to see
your face here ever again!
In two days...
I'll give birth
and by the time I get back,
I want your baby gone from your womb.
Daisy.
I did a terrible thing.
I wish I thought of ma'am.
You idiot!
It's sir who should have thought of ma'am.
I wonder how they found
out that I'm pregnant?
Did the hospital tell them?
That's not allowed, is it?
Accept whatever they're
offering ask for more, even.
They won't refuse you.
Do you want to keep the baby?
I haven't thought about what to do.
Well, you should start thinking.
You only have today,
tomorrow,
and the next.
Sorry, ma'am.
Why are you apologizing to me?!
Why are you letting them do that to you?
I'm sorry.
Don't apologize to me!
Think of a plan!
Don't let them treat you like that!
Fight back!
Don't be such an idiot!
[soft music]
Don't let them walk all over you!
Make a move!
You idiot!
Idiot!
Mom, I don't believe
she'll get rid of the baby.
She was too affectionate towards my twins
and even to Nami,
she's very maternal.
Daisy
Why are you still up?
Go ahead and sleep,
I'll watch over you.
Why would you watch over me?
Alright.
I'll just finish my milk, okay?
Daisy...
I'm sorry.
Why are you saying sorry?
Because grandma pushed the
ladder that's why you fell off.
Wasn't that an accident?
No.
She did it on purpose.
I saw and heard them.
[dramatic music]
Oh shit.
Mom, what did you do?
You don't know anything about this.
You're a good person, Daisy.
I don't want anything bad to happen to you.
Thank you, Nami.
[soft music]
Miss Martha.
[suspenseful music]
About Daisy-I don't want her
on the second floor anymore.
Move her to your room so
you can keep an eye on her.
Okay.
You're moving to a different room?
Because your new nanny's coming over soon.
But why?
Are you ill?
No.
But I have a baby in my tummy now.
Really?
Boy or girl?
I hope it's a girl.
Like you.
She must still be so tiny, huh?
Nami - Nami, we're leaving.
Your grandma's calling for you.
Yes, we're going to the hospital.
Mommy's going to give birth today, I think.
I'll finally see the twins.
Oh yeah?
Alright, then.
Take care.
I can't watch over you now
but no matter
you're with Miss Martha.
I don't have to worry.
Bye, Nami.
Bye, Daisy.
Nami.
Where were you, huh?
I just said goodbye to Daisy.
Martha,
keep an eye on Daisy.
She might forget our agreement.
Good morning, Mr. Romero
This way, please.
Hi.
Nice to see you, mommy.
I'm glad you could be here
despite your busy schedule
[baby screaming]
Go see your baby
Go on.
Don't play with that. It's not a toy.
Miss Martha
I won't get rid of my baby.
Then don't.
Ester.
Rip that cheque in half.
She's keeping the baby.
Shit!
That witch!
I should have just poisoned her.
[dramatic music]
Ready, please.
Is it okay?
1, 2, 3, smile!
Give me that, go get the babies.
How are you?
Thank you for giving me two beautiful sons.
I love you, honey.
Have your rest.
He's an asshole.
That's enough.
[crying and screaming]
Wine, sir?
I don't need anything.
That bitch!
I can't believe she did that to me.
Oops.
What are you doing in there?
Want to join me?
Suit yourself.
If you'd rather have the twins
[dramatic music]
What is your problem?
I'm pregnant
But, madam Ester and madam
Roxanne knew before I did.
They offered me three million
to get an abortion
but I don't want it.
I don't want to lose our baby
Hey!
What do you think you're doing?
Get out of there. You shameless girl.
I know you don't treat
me like a human being
but this baby is yours
No! No, baby, please.
Please, no!
What kind of milk is this?
Maternal milk.
My friend bought it for me.
You know what, I'll just
disappear and it will all be over
Me and my baby
I don't need your money
but you know that you're the
father and this is your child too!
Daisy
Let's have the baby
Okay?
Thank you, sir.
But I'm sorry you had a
baby with someone like me
She was writhing in pain earlier
so I gave her a strong sedative
That's good.
William's seed is on a different level.
Alright.
Thank you, doctor!
Martha.
Pack her things.
She's not coming back here.
Okay, Ester.
William is asking for you.
Me? He wants to see me?
Yes.
Why, has he seen Daisy?
Unfortunately, yes.
Is the baby dead?
Your maid is somewhat of a slut, isn't she?
I heard she was pregnant
when she was brought in.
What's it to you?
Mommy,
I'm the one asking questions.
Just answer them.
She told me that I'm the baby's father
She said that?
She just wants your money.
If it's not mine,
then why go through all the trouble?
Were you the one who
put Cytotec in her milk?
No.
Then who?
Your daughter?
No.
It was me.
How dare you think you could pull that off?
Did you think that because
it's not my child by Roxanne,
that I wouldn't accept the baby as my own?
Is that what you think?
William brought the milk to the lab.
It's been mixed with a
drug that induces abortion.
Who would do that?
Roxanne.
Those people are terrible.
It's scary.
Probably why they got so rich.
Nami told me,
[suspenseful music]
That her grandmother pushed
me off the second floor on purpose.
Kids don't lie.
But I wasn't aware that I
was pregnant at the time
I was.
I know everything that
goes on in that mansion.
Even the first time William used you
and all the succeeding times,
I knew.
Even before you leave this hospital,
they've come up with a dozen plans
on how to deal with you
Take this.
Get as far away from here as you can.
Find someone who will love you
All of this nightmare shall pass, too.
I want to take revenge!
Do it.
Get back at them.
[dramatic music]
Why?
Don't tell me that you miss them?
Kill that thought.
Don't torture yourself.
Forget about them.
Let's go to sleep.
Go to sleep.
Nami,
she's the only one I miss.
With her, I felt how good it must be
to be a mother.
Don't let them treat you like that.
Fight back!
Don't be such an idiot!
Don't let them walk all over you!
Make a move!
We haven't done this for ages.
Your feet are dirty.
You're dirty.
How many times do I have to apologize
for you to remember
that I'm still your husband?
Suck it up.
Do whatever you want.
Just tell me,
when you want another baby.
Triplets next time?
[dramatic music]
[dramatic music]
Daisy.
What are you doing here?
What are you doing here?
I'm just nursing your baby.
Give him to me.
Please.
Don't hurt the baby.
Me?
Hurt a child?
Stupid!
Baby
Give him here.
Baby
Give me my baby.
Hand him over, please.
I said hand him over.
Sorry, baby.
Please,
hand me the baby.
You can leave now. Get out!
Yes, I'm leaving!
You're tough, huh?
What now?
Honey!
Honey!
Who let that woman in?
Is she still here?
Roxanne.
I don't feel so good.
I have a bad feeling about this.
We need to call the police.
Miss Martha
Cast that woman away
If you can't do it alone,
call for Pijo or Mario
You do it.
I'm leaving, too.
Resigning.
Martha.
What is this bullshit?
How dare you?
Get that madwoman out
of here before you leave.
I'll call for Mario and Pijo, ma'am.
Shut up!
Martha
Why are you doing this?
After everything I've
done for you and your son,
this is how you repay us?
It's not enough.
William.
It's not enough.
Considering how long
I've been working for you.
It's not enough.
And did you think,
I meant to keep serving you until I die?
I can't take it anymore.
I am done putting up with you.
You may be swimming in cash
but you are shameless people.
Soulless.
Wretched beasts.
Daisy!
Daisy!
Nami!
How are you?
I'm okay.
What about you? How are you?
I'm alright.
Are you happy with your baby brothers?
They look like angels, don't they?
What about the baby inside your tummy?
My baby?
It's gone.
Huh?
But why?
Why don't you ask your Daddy?
You shut up! Shut up!
Crazy woman!
Daisy, let's go.
Daisy.
Thank you
but I can't shake off of my mind all the
depravity that happened
to me in this house!
Daisy.
Forgive me
for all the sins we committed against you
You should have just ran with the money
What more do you want me to do,
so you can let the matter rest?
Daisy, please. Don't drag my children into
this. They didn't do
anything wrong. Please.
No more.
Nami.
I'm sorry.
[screaming]
[dramatic music]
[screaming]
[music continues]
Happy birthday, Nami!
Happy birthday, Nami!
Cheers!
Happy birthday, dear Nami!
Happy birthday, to you!
[dramatic music]
[instrumental music]
[street noise]
Hey, let's go!
Where are you going?
Let's go see the lady
who committed suicide.
What?
- Why? Let's not. Let's just go.
- Come on!
What the heck!
Let's just hang for a while.
We'll just take a peek.
I heard she's pretty.
I heard a woman jumped off a building.
Traffic's going to be hell.
We won't get a ride home.
Why are you so interested in suicide?
It's so scary!
Hep. Pull over.
[soft music]
Can I borrow money?
I have no salary yet.
Is Daisy here?
Yes, ma'am.
She's in the shower upstairs.
Want me to get her for you?
Just tell her I'll be waiting at
the coffee shop across the street.
Okay, ma'am.
Sorry for going straight to your house.
That's how I do things when I'm hiring.
I do a background check on the references.
I need to know your living conditions.
Not the chatty type, huh?
I heard you have a
property in Sapang Palay?
But it doesn't have a land title, right?
Yes, ma'am.
I'm renting it out.
[soft music]
[ominous music]
Left side.
Five reps.
One. Sound breathing.
Two. Open your hand.
Three.
We're done already.
Come up, slowly.
Slowly.
You came highly recommended by Miss Martha.
Thank you for taking the offer.
- Excuse me, ma'am.
- Thank you.
I should be the one to
thank you, Ma'am Roxanne.
Miss Puffer Fish is fine.
It's huge, isn't it?
It's huge.
Very.
That's because there's two of them inside.
Miss Martha, you didn't tell her?
Miss Martha, I told you to
make clear all the details.
Ah, I'm good with twins, ma'am.
Miss Martha, double her salary, too.
Alright. I'll have the contracts updated.
Your uniform.
That should fit you.
You're lucky.
You're on the same floor with our masters.
Ma'am especially wanted
you to be near your ward.
I'm a little embarrassed.
Only wear that within the mansion, okay.
I've never worn anything
like this in any of my jobs.
Then wear it.
You haven't been paid
this much in all of your jobs.
As you say, ma'am.
Ma'am undies are in the bathroom.
She wants them hand washed.
You know how pregnant women
are, especially when it's that big
one sneeze and pee comes out.
Alright, ma'am.
The laundry basket's over there.
Hi, Nami!
I'm Daisy, your new nanny.
Nami, I told you about your
new nanny arriving today, yes?
Yes, I know.
Aren't you going to greet your mom?
After I change out of these
clothes and wash my hands.
Just leave it there.
I can dress myself.
Alright.
Just call me if you need anything.
Should I close this?
Yes, please.
So, Nami.
How's your new nanny?
She likes me a lot.
Did she say that?
No.
So how did you know?
I saw it on her face.
Daisy.
Eat.
Sir and Ma'am aren't
going to eat these leftovers.
We'll just throw these out. Yeah.
[spits]
You're crazy!
[car honks]
Sir is here.
[suspenseful music]
Sir, we'll be going.
Daddy!
She's my new yaya! She likes me a lot.
Mrs. Lim recommended her to me.
She worked for her for two years
while self-supporting in college.
Alright, go on upstairs.
Tell mommy I'll be right up.
Okay, dad!
Sir William.
My name is Daisy, sir.
Good evening.
You are important in this house.
Like Miss Martha.
Send up the red wine.
Madam.
Were you grumpy all day again?
It's difficult to breathe
and my tummy is itchy.
You're over-exercised, maybe.
Will, I need to be healthy
for a natural delivery.
Well, the doctors say it wouldn't be easy.
Of course they'll say that.
C-section is faster and more expensive.
They will do what I tell them.
Are you sure you can do
it without anesthesia?
He calls you "madam", then?
Okay.
Send this up to their room.
This time
we're getting twins.
I know
and I'm okay.
I don't want you to worry.
Let's see.
I felt them kick earlier.
Yeah?
Well, I don't know which
one of the twins moved.
Soon. Very soon.
Did you know that Daisy majored in
Early Childhood Development in college?
But she dropped out.
Does that have anything to
do with actually raising kids?
Well, at least she's fond of kids.
I think she'll do well with our kids.
Daisy.
Nami! Why are you still up?
Can you leave the door open?
Like this?
A little more.
That will do.
Alright.
I'll keep my door open for you from now on.
Thank you.
[soft music]
Who is playing?
The cup.
Give this to sir.
Where, ma'am? To the master's bedroom?
Follow the sound of the piano.
[plays piano]
The Beethoven sounded nice.
I'm glad you liked it.
Bye, Dad.
Bye, honey.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Breakfast?
Yes, please.
Let's go have breakfast.
Yes, please.
[water running]
I think sir just arrived.
I have to clean the bathtub now.
Okay, do the pedicure later.
[soft music]
Try it.
[soft piano music]
Should I fire Mario already, Will?
Since you can drive too, Daisy.
You probably know how to
use a gun or self-defense?
Then I could fire Pijo, Will's bodyguard.
You'll be his bodyguard.
[piano music]
Nami,
why don't you jump in?
Water's too cold.
Don't worry, the pool has a heater.
Okay then.
[soft music]
I got you!
The water's not that cold, right?
This pool is too small. I've had enough.
Huh?
Nami.
Nami.
Let her be. Maybe she's
too tired from the trip.
Cover yourself already,
you might catch a cold.
Wait, my phone.
Go on inside.
There you go.
I feel so heavy.
It's okay.
I feel like a watermelon.
It's cold!
Okay, go.
I'm so heavy.
I'll get my phone later.
Okay.
[soft music]
Take it off already.
You sure you want to see the bulge?
You know...
why...
I'm pushing for natural delivery?
[moaning]
Because I want six children.
Are you sure, hon?
I'm happy with three.
Only poor people
limit the number of their children.
The richer you are,
the more children you can have.
Ouch!
Ouch.
I told you not to put it in too deep.
This isn't working.
I'm tired.
Can we just sleep?
[dramatic music]
Daisy?
Thank you.
[dramatic music]
Ow! Ow!
- Sorry, sorry, ma'am Roxanne.
- That was too far.
Jenny can't sleep.
She's been looking out the window
and as she looks up at the stars
like pretty little Sampaguitas
she swears she could hear the voice
of Grandma Priming, over and over.
Tomorrow, we will visit your mother.
Tomorrow, she will
finally see her mother...
Nami?
Are you asleep?
No, I'm listening.
Continue.
Look at this lady.
She looks like you, doesn't she?
Hmm...
just a little bit.
But you know what,
I think you're cuter.
[soft music]
The next day, Grandma Priming
prepared their snacks for the journey.
Congratulations to your son, Madam Martha.
[soft music]
[soft music]
You look tired.
Is my wife wearing you down?
No, sir.
Don't worry. I'll talk to her.
Have some.
Drink.
[piano music]
[moaning]
I'm scared.
Just keep going.
Don't.
Please don't.
Stop!
[moaning]
[plays piano]
Get the check.
That's enough.
Come on, let's eat.
It's getting so big, ma'am.
Wow, that's a strong kick.
Are you ready to come out?
Hello, baby.
You'll wake up in the morning
and all day you think about how
you're going to get through the day.
You just take a deep breath
and pretend you're a rock.
Is it obvious
that I'm sick of this job?
My mother and I came to work for Ester.
She wasn't that wealthy back in the day.
But she treats Roxanne like a princess.
Some stroke of luck
she met William.
Now she's living like a queen.
So you've been serving under
them for a long time, ma'am.
Yes.
Have you ever had a boyfriend?
None yet.
Suitors?
Someone tried once but
that's over now.
It's just a waste of time.
Really, now?
William is such an asshole!
He is so horny!
This is on you, Martha.
Why'd you go bringing
in a pretty assistant?
I didn't pick her.
Your daughter did.
I brought in three girls,
Roxanne picked Daisy.
I don't think Daisy has any idea
that she's pregnant.
She's childish.
Really?
Virgin?
It won't even cross her mind.
I doubt she hatched a plan
to get a baby with William.
But what do you think will happen?
What will she do when she finds out?
She won't be much of a bother.
She won't make a scene.
It's not like her.
Well, if she's so innocent
why'd she open her legs for William?
She's an idiot!
You know what, to be honest
You should blame Roxanne
because she's the one who likes Daisy.
My daughter's no different.
Another dum-dum.
So innocent.
It got me thinking, Martha.
What would happen to
our children without us?
Congratulations.
I heard Mateo's a fiscal lawyer now
Does Mateo know that
he became a prosecutor
through William's connections?
Ah, I left that part out.
Didn't need to mention it.
Anyway.
I know you're very proud of your son
and you should be
proud of yourself, Martha.
What else should I know about?
Your boss barged into your room?
He was naked
and you didn't say a word?
I did protest a little.
Then he gave me some wine,
which I drank.
What? Have you lost your mind?
No, I just gave in.
His looks helped.
Life's hard when you're thirsty.
Sorry, I have needs.
So
How do the rich get it on?
This is what came out of his thing.
What is this?
Shit!
That's huge!
Really huge!
You have no plans of leaving the mansion?
Nope.
Aren't you awkward with his wife?
I don't mind it.
It's done and over with.
But something did happen.
You can't change that.
[soft guitar music]
Ma, why did you make Daisy clean the house?
You told me she knows a lot of skills
so I had everything
waxed up to the chandelier.
Besides, it's dusty in here.
It's bad for you, remember?
Son of a bitch.
[suspenseful music]
Oh my god!
Can you help me please?
Mom! Do something! Do something!
Help me, please!
[screaming]
Oh my god!
The patient only suffered a mild concussion
but she feels some pain in her hip
area so we need to run some tests
From what height did she fall?
Second floor?
She's with child.
Do you know who the father is?
Is it Will?
Mom, are you sure?
I'm one hundred percent sure.
Thanks to Martha.
[phone rings]
Yes, Martha?
She has a slight concussion.
Bruised pelvis.
She has to rest. Two days.
That's not what I want to know.
The doctor didn't mention anything.
Daisy's hardy. No bleeding.
Martha, maybe it's you who made a mistake?
Strap that girl down, okay?
And get back here.
I have something for her.
Okay.
Your husband's going
on a business trip, yes?
Yes.
He'll be in Taipei for four days.
Good.
I'll iron things out before he gets back.
Mom
Please, can you just leave me alone?
You wanted a wealthy husband.
This is part of the contract
so bear with it.
So what do you want me to do?
Pretend that I know nothing?
Exactly. You're not completely clueless.
[soft music]
Is this ward 2?
Yes, ma'am.
Madam Ester wishes to
ask for your forgiveness.
She says to get some rest.
Don't think about work for now.
That must be heavy.
Did you carry it all the
way from the parking lot?
Here.
It's a cheque.
She wants you to have it.
A consolation.
You probably realized by now
that for our employers,
everything is easy.
They just throw money at it
and all their problems are gone.
It takes them no effort. But
for us, it's a decent trade-off.
Focus on getting better.
Martha.
Ester.
Miss Martha,
do you think I'm still the same
little squirt you looked after?
[soft music]
No, ma'am.
That's right. So?
Why are you spreading rumors
about my husband to other people
without my knowledge?
What am I to you?
Mom
Uh,
it won't happen again,
ma'am Roxanne.
Hi.
William, you're home early?
Ah, your daughter texted me and
told me you're here so I ran home.
How are you?
That's sweet of you.
What else did she say?
Nothing in particular, why?
Am I missing something?
No.
Thank you for coming home early.
Surprising.
My wife's being extra sweet tonight.
Mommy...
You must be the reason so maybe
we should do this more often.
I was thinking the same thing.
I don't see your assistant hanging around.
I brought her to the hospital
because she had a high fever.
- Just now?
- Mhm.
What did the doctor say?
Probably just exhaustion.
She will stay there overnight?
She'll be back in tomorrow.
Miss Martha!
You're taking a while in
there. Aren't you done packing?
Why is that?
Getting old, are you?
You should resign, then.
Roxanne, you little bitch.
I raised you.
Your goddamned mother
promised me all sorts of things
"We're like sisters!"
"I'll take care of you!"
Here I am, 31 years, a maid.
I am a mother
of a prosecutor
of the Republic of the Philippines!
Here I am.
You sons of bitches.
You fucking rich folk.
You'll have your reckoning.
You can't buy everything.
No.
Look what you did to me.
You robbed me of my life.
I took care of you!
All of you!
Did all you asked!
Motherfuckers!
Fuck all of you!
How dare you! Fuck all of you!
Fuck!
Fuck!
Just because you're rich
I did everything for you
as your maid
for 31 years...
a maid.
Fuck you, you're going
to get what you deserve.
You can't have all the good days.
Fuck.
I won't let it happen.
Fuck you!
Fuck all of you!
Ah, we didn't notice it right away.
Look at this.
That's the fertilized egg in your womb.
It's only been four weeks.
Is it your first baby?
It's a blessing. Don't be scared.
So is your boss responsible?
Your savings blew up all of a sudden.
Who knew you'd be
spending it all on your baby?
It's a good thing you have cash set aside.
But hold on a minute
if your boss is the father
he should shoulder everything!
Have you ever aborted a baby?
Ugh, Jesus!
Pack your things and
get out of that mansion.
And then what?
Sort out what to do
with your newborn later.
Don't worry. I'll help you.
I'll help you.
Daisy knows she's with child.
That bitch.
What did my husband ever see in her?
Just a cheap maid.
I wish this house had a third floor.
I'm furious.
[safe zone]
This will keep your body healthy
and the baby, too.
Make sure your employers don't see this
Thank you.
I'm sorry, Daisy.
I didn't watch where I was going.
I didn't dream this would happen.
You know I didn't mean to do it, yes?
Nami's milk?
No, ma'am. My friend just gave it to me.
This is Gina.
Hello, ma'am.
It's good for your body.
I should have bought it for you.
Ah, it's alright, ma'am.
I'll feel better in no time.
Daisy! I'm late for work. Bye.
I'll go ahead.
Martha.
[suspenseful music]
Finish your milk.
When you've drank all of it, let us
know Martha will buy more for you.
[dramatic music]
I feel different in this house.
Because sir's not around?
That's not what I meant, ma'am.
I just feel off.
I don't feel comfortable anymore.
I feel like maybe I should quit.
Then quit.
Tomorrow.
But I don't have a replacement yet.
Say goodbye to Roxanne.
I'll take care of the rest.
What if I just cast her out?
What if after three to four years
she comes with the baby?
As long as she carries
evidence of William's betrayal
You'll never stop thinking of her.
What will I do, Ma?
Ma'am Roxanne, Daisy
would like to say something.
Sit down.
What is it?
I would like to resign, ma'am.
I'm afraid my body isn't
able to stand the work here.
I treated you like my own family
and you do this to me?
Uh, I'll get the food ready...
Stay there!
I'm so sorry, ma'am.
[dramatic music]
Why are you saying sorry?
Did you do something?
Mom?
I'll go straight to the point.
How much for your womb
in exchange for that
thing inside your tummy?
Two million?
Three million?
Just get rid of that
thing as soon as possible
and I don't want to see
your face here ever again!
In two days...
I'll give birth
and by the time I get back,
I want your baby gone from your womb.
Daisy.
I did a terrible thing.
I wish I thought of ma'am.
You idiot!
It's sir who should have thought of ma'am.
I wonder how they found
out that I'm pregnant?
Did the hospital tell them?
That's not allowed, is it?
Accept whatever they're
offering ask for more, even.
They won't refuse you.
Do you want to keep the baby?
I haven't thought about what to do.
Well, you should start thinking.
You only have today,
tomorrow,
and the next.
Sorry, ma'am.
Why are you apologizing to me?!
Why are you letting them do that to you?
I'm sorry.
Don't apologize to me!
Think of a plan!
Don't let them treat you like that!
Fight back!
Don't be such an idiot!
[soft music]
Don't let them walk all over you!
Make a move!
You idiot!
Idiot!
Mom, I don't believe
she'll get rid of the baby.
She was too affectionate towards my twins
and even to Nami,
she's very maternal.
Daisy
Why are you still up?
Go ahead and sleep,
I'll watch over you.
Why would you watch over me?
Alright.
I'll just finish my milk, okay?
Daisy...
I'm sorry.
Why are you saying sorry?
Because grandma pushed the
ladder that's why you fell off.
Wasn't that an accident?
No.
She did it on purpose.
I saw and heard them.
[dramatic music]
Oh shit.
Mom, what did you do?
You don't know anything about this.
You're a good person, Daisy.
I don't want anything bad to happen to you.
Thank you, Nami.
[soft music]
Miss Martha.
[suspenseful music]
About Daisy-I don't want her
on the second floor anymore.
Move her to your room so
you can keep an eye on her.
Okay.
You're moving to a different room?
Because your new nanny's coming over soon.
But why?
Are you ill?
No.
But I have a baby in my tummy now.
Really?
Boy or girl?
I hope it's a girl.
Like you.
She must still be so tiny, huh?
Nami - Nami, we're leaving.
Your grandma's calling for you.
Yes, we're going to the hospital.
Mommy's going to give birth today, I think.
I'll finally see the twins.
Oh yeah?
Alright, then.
Take care.
I can't watch over you now
but no matter
you're with Miss Martha.
I don't have to worry.
Bye, Nami.
Bye, Daisy.
Nami.
Where were you, huh?
I just said goodbye to Daisy.
Martha,
keep an eye on Daisy.
She might forget our agreement.
Good morning, Mr. Romero
This way, please.
Hi.
Nice to see you, mommy.
I'm glad you could be here
despite your busy schedule
[baby screaming]
Go see your baby
Go on.
Don't play with that. It's not a toy.
Miss Martha
I won't get rid of my baby.
Then don't.
Ester.
Rip that cheque in half.
She's keeping the baby.
Shit!
That witch!
I should have just poisoned her.
[dramatic music]
Ready, please.
Is it okay?
1, 2, 3, smile!
Give me that, go get the babies.
How are you?
Thank you for giving me two beautiful sons.
I love you, honey.
Have your rest.
He's an asshole.
That's enough.
[crying and screaming]
Wine, sir?
I don't need anything.
That bitch!
I can't believe she did that to me.
Oops.
What are you doing in there?
Want to join me?
Suit yourself.
If you'd rather have the twins
[dramatic music]
What is your problem?
I'm pregnant
But, madam Ester and madam
Roxanne knew before I did.
They offered me three million
to get an abortion
but I don't want it.
I don't want to lose our baby
Hey!
What do you think you're doing?
Get out of there. You shameless girl.
I know you don't treat
me like a human being
but this baby is yours
No! No, baby, please.
Please, no!
What kind of milk is this?
Maternal milk.
My friend bought it for me.
You know what, I'll just
disappear and it will all be over
Me and my baby
I don't need your money
but you know that you're the
father and this is your child too!
Daisy
Let's have the baby
Okay?
Thank you, sir.
But I'm sorry you had a
baby with someone like me
She was writhing in pain earlier
so I gave her a strong sedative
That's good.
William's seed is on a different level.
Alright.
Thank you, doctor!
Martha.
Pack her things.
She's not coming back here.
Okay, Ester.
William is asking for you.
Me? He wants to see me?
Yes.
Why, has he seen Daisy?
Unfortunately, yes.
Is the baby dead?
Your maid is somewhat of a slut, isn't she?
I heard she was pregnant
when she was brought in.
What's it to you?
Mommy,
I'm the one asking questions.
Just answer them.
She told me that I'm the baby's father
She said that?
She just wants your money.
If it's not mine,
then why go through all the trouble?
Were you the one who
put Cytotec in her milk?
No.
Then who?
Your daughter?
No.
It was me.
How dare you think you could pull that off?
Did you think that because
it's not my child by Roxanne,
that I wouldn't accept the baby as my own?
Is that what you think?
William brought the milk to the lab.
It's been mixed with a
drug that induces abortion.
Who would do that?
Roxanne.
Those people are terrible.
It's scary.
Probably why they got so rich.
Nami told me,
[suspenseful music]
That her grandmother pushed
me off the second floor on purpose.
Kids don't lie.
But I wasn't aware that I
was pregnant at the time
I was.
I know everything that
goes on in that mansion.
Even the first time William used you
and all the succeeding times,
I knew.
Even before you leave this hospital,
they've come up with a dozen plans
on how to deal with you
Take this.
Get as far away from here as you can.
Find someone who will love you
All of this nightmare shall pass, too.
I want to take revenge!
Do it.
Get back at them.
[dramatic music]
Why?
Don't tell me that you miss them?
Kill that thought.
Don't torture yourself.
Forget about them.
Let's go to sleep.
Go to sleep.
Nami,
she's the only one I miss.
With her, I felt how good it must be
to be a mother.
Don't let them treat you like that.
Fight back!
Don't be such an idiot!
Don't let them walk all over you!
Make a move!
We haven't done this for ages.
Your feet are dirty.
You're dirty.
How many times do I have to apologize
for you to remember
that I'm still your husband?
Suck it up.
Do whatever you want.
Just tell me,
when you want another baby.
Triplets next time?
[dramatic music]
[dramatic music]
Daisy.
What are you doing here?
What are you doing here?
I'm just nursing your baby.
Give him to me.
Please.
Don't hurt the baby.
Me?
Hurt a child?
Stupid!
Baby
Give him here.
Baby
Give me my baby.
Hand him over, please.
I said hand him over.
Sorry, baby.
Please,
hand me the baby.
You can leave now. Get out!
Yes, I'm leaving!
You're tough, huh?
What now?
Honey!
Honey!
Who let that woman in?
Is she still here?
Roxanne.
I don't feel so good.
I have a bad feeling about this.
We need to call the police.
Miss Martha
Cast that woman away
If you can't do it alone,
call for Pijo or Mario
You do it.
I'm leaving, too.
Resigning.
Martha.
What is this bullshit?
How dare you?
Get that madwoman out
of here before you leave.
I'll call for Mario and Pijo, ma'am.
Shut up!
Martha
Why are you doing this?
After everything I've
done for you and your son,
this is how you repay us?
It's not enough.
William.
It's not enough.
Considering how long
I've been working for you.
It's not enough.
And did you think,
I meant to keep serving you until I die?
I can't take it anymore.
I am done putting up with you.
You may be swimming in cash
but you are shameless people.
Soulless.
Wretched beasts.
Daisy!
Daisy!
Nami!
How are you?
I'm okay.
What about you? How are you?
I'm alright.
Are you happy with your baby brothers?
They look like angels, don't they?
What about the baby inside your tummy?
My baby?
It's gone.
Huh?
But why?
Why don't you ask your Daddy?
You shut up! Shut up!
Crazy woman!
Daisy, let's go.
Daisy.
Thank you
but I can't shake off of my mind all the
depravity that happened
to me in this house!
Daisy.
Forgive me
for all the sins we committed against you
You should have just ran with the money
What more do you want me to do,
so you can let the matter rest?
Daisy, please. Don't drag my children into
this. They didn't do
anything wrong. Please.
No more.
Nami.
I'm sorry.

Happy birthday, to you!
