UnMarry (2025) Movie Script
Annulment.
Controversial.
Convoluted.
Complicated.
The spelling alone is quite confusing.
Double N, single I?
Single N, double I?
Double N, double I?
Or single N?
Or single N and single I?
I still use spell check sometimes.
In the Philippines,
where there's no divorce law,
why resort to annulment?
Who can nullify a marriage?
Is this only for celebrities,
the moneyed,
the elite,
or for everyone?
What is its step-by-step process?
Most of all, the big question.
Is it really worth it?
We'll discuss and dissect all this
for today's video.
I'm Attorney Jackie Lombridas,
and this is.
No Flaw in the Law!
The most common grounds for annulment,
as I'm sure you must have heard before,
is psychological incapacity.
When filing for an annulment,
what should you do first?
What else?
Get a good lawyer!
Sorry.
Excuse me.
Do I stink?
You smell the same as my husband.
Good or bad?
I don't know, but my head hurts.
Excuse me!
The receptionist isn't here yet.
Hi! Are you here for
the 2:00 p.m. appointment?
Yes. Ms. Santos.
I texted Jackie I'm here now.
Attorney Willie, the 2:00 p.m.
annulment cases are here.
Ma'am, here's some
HerbAmazing Mushroom Coffee.
It's good for your body. It helps you lose
weight and helps with insomnia.
We also have moringa tea.
This is perfect for you.
- Hold on.
- Try it.
Mr. Buencamino.
Mrs. Alcaraz.
Jackie herself texted me. She told me two.
Attorney Willie, I believe
you scheduled me for 2:00 p.m.
Yes, two
Attorney.
- Attorney Willie Bautista!
- Yes...
How could you let this happen?
- Now I have two clients at two!
- Yes, boss... I mean, Attorney.
Yes, 2:00 p.m.
Aren't you in charge of clients? Did you
not check the schedule with Janice?
- Yes, I did. It's my fault. I...
- This is unprofessional!
Hello?
I am so sorry.
This won't happen again.
So, who can go first?
- I have to pick up my kid at four.
- I'm picking my kids up at four.
Please, be considerate.
My job's at stake here.
In making a petition for annulment,
you need to tell the whole story.
History.
Beginning to end.
It's like talking to Ms. Charo,
the TV counselor host.
Aunt Charo, if you're Gen Z.
I want my business.
If I can keep all of it,
or at least half, maybe?
And I want control.
I can't stop Maya
from filing for annulment.
All I want
is for us to reach an agreement
with regard to my son.
I deserve a chance to be Elio's dad.
How did it begin?
I met Stephen at a baking fair
I joined back then.
He tried our best-selling cheese rolls,
and, of course, he liked them.
He offered to buy all our goods
in exchange for my number,
offered help with branding,
marketing
Foolish me agreed just to make a sale.
How it ended.
Why did you separate?
Isn't it enough to say
I don't love him anymore?
She says she doesn't love me anymore.
We want details.
Complete.
Convincing.
Compelling.
And what do you do, Mrs. Alca...
I mean, Ms. Santos?
Well, I'm a businesswoman.
I think.
That is, if Stephen doesn't
take back our business.
You're a culinary arts graduate.
You're a chef.
Not anymore.
I swear, Attorney, I have a job now.
What are you into now, Ivan?
Glass blowing?
Wedding videography?
Don't tell me you're doing
bird photography now?
Rogue Ink.
That's where I work.
Tattoo?
Comic book illustration.
Make sure you don't quit this time.
Of course not! I'm dead serious now.
I'm serious, too.
You need a steady job to win against Maya.
You're up against a top news anchor
in the Philippines.
That's why you're my lawyer, right?
Exactly.
Thank you for trusting me
with this case, Ms. Santos.
How did you hear about me?
Google.
Oh, yes. My current viral case
with the popular actor
versus fast food mascot?
With the polygamist politician
versus his 9 wives and 43 children?
Politician versus the massage parlor?
Plastic...
Ah, yes!
Plastic surgeon versus
the come backing pop star.
Plastic surgeon
versus the flat-chested sexy star?
Plastic surgeon versus the Guadalupe
residents hit by her billboard!
- The plastic surgeon
- I knew it.
Is my mother-in-law.
Dr. Alcaraz.
I figured if you could beat someone
as rich and powerful as she is,
then I have a chance against their family.
That's why, Ms. Celine Santos,
I am the perfect lawyer for this case.
Can you subscribe to my YouTube channel?
So we can fix our door?
It broke last week.
Aside from weight loss, sir,
it will also protect you from Wi-Fi.
It has mitochondria energy cells.
- I can give you a discount.
- Thank you.
- If you're buying a lot.
- Good luck.
Ma'am.
Pressing harder won't speed that up.
It must be broken.
You've been here the whole time
I was in Jackie's office?
You got sales-talked, didn't you?
Things happened so fast.
What am I gonna do with mushroom coffee?
I own a caf!
Which caf?
Celine's.
Celine's?
The one famous for its cheese roll?
Wow!
Aren't you in a hurry?
I also have to pick up my child at four.
This is easy.
We're going down anyway.
The owner of Celine's,
a bourgeois?
Of course not.
I used to wade through floods
back in college.
Besides, it's my husband who's rich.
I mean, ex.
Ex-husband.
You're the bourgeois one.
I know what you're wearing.
Your bag. Your shoes.
Even your perfume.
All those cost a fortune.
My wife bought these.
She doesn't like my clothes.
I can't face Jackie in just a t-shirt.
Jackie?
You know each other well?
Yes, we're cousins.
That's why she's doing it for free.
Don't worry, she's the smartest
among us cousins.
She'll make you win.
I know.
So what did you do?
You cheated, didn't you?
Of course not!
I wouldn't do that to my spouse.
What about you?
Nothing.
I didn't do anything.
He did me wrong, so I'm breaking free.
Did he fool you?
No.
Just plain crazy.
Now, the paperwork and filing,
we lawyers will take care of that.
File the petition at
the local Regional Trial Court
where you or your spouse have lived
for at least six months.
Jenny!
- Ma'am.
- Where's Jenny?
Over there.
For larger assets
and declared conjugal properties,
the fees are higher.
The kids? Please get them ready.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
I didn't invite you.
Stephen, stop it.
Can you get their things, please?
Jenny.
Celine, you don't live here anymore.
You can't order them around.
Okay.
Sorry, ma'am.
Oh, yeah. By the way
What's this?
An Airbnb, Celine? Really?
C'mon. You know you can stay here, right?
Or use one of the condos.
Why do you have to rent?
Where are the kids?
Well, you took forever, so
I threw them a pool party.
Zoe!
Chloe! Let's go, we're going home.
Mommy, I still want to swim!
No. That's enough.
Careful, slowly.
Chloe, we're going home! Are you okay?
You know, you still have
a swimsuit upstairs.
It might still fit you.
Why not swim first?
Chloe, come on. We're going home.
No!
Come on! I'm asking you nicely. Let's go!
Come on. I'll help you shower.
Chloe, let's go!
Once the petition is filed,
the next thing you'll do is
wait!
We've been waiting for you.
Elio, your dad's here.
Sorry, the elevator broke down.
Whatever, Ivan.
- Would I even be surprised?
- Bye, Mom.
Bye. Have fun with your Dad. I love you.
Hi.
Another new gadget?
The kid won't leave his room
or do homework.
Ivan, our son is struggling because of us.
Should you deprive him of his pleasures?
You're right. But
Ivan, come on.
Just give the boy a break!
He already hates you.
Okay, we're home!
Come on. Go inside.
Go.
Mommy, why is your house so small?
It smells weird too.
There's no swimming pool?
Can I see the room?
Mommy, let's go home.
Love, this is your home.
Mommy just cleaned up,
so we don't have much stuff.
But our home is with Dad.
Hello, Mom?
Celine, did you already pick up Chloe?
What time will you bring them here?
We'll stay here for now.
It's closer to Chloe's school.
She has a field trip tomorrow morning.
Field trip? On a Saturday?
Yes, she does.
And Zoe's got swimming lessons tomorrow.
Okay. Kiss my grandchildren for me.
Okay, Mom. Bye.
Girls!
There's cheese rolls. Go eat first.
My God, Stephen!
What are you doing here?
- Daddy!
- That's my girl!
Hey, you're not doing anything
tomorrow, right?
Good!
Because we are going out.
Zoe, go back to bed.
Don't you have swimming lessons
tomorrow morning?
Come on.
You know what, it's okay. You go to bed,
and I'll see you first thing tomorrow.
Good night, Daddy. I love you.
I love you more, baby girl!
All right, go.
Good night!
- Good night!
- Stephen.
Can you please just go?
Please, go.
My God, Celine. Really? This?
This is what I'm paying for!
If you're going to use my money
for my children,
you should have just booked a nice hotel.
You know, instead of renting this place.
I'm not joking with you.
This is my time with the kids.
Why?
Whose money paid for this?
My money.
Right?
Those are my kids.
My business.
See this? All this?
Mine!
All mine.
Sis,
I thought you were going to
bring the kids with you?
Go, shake it up!
Four, five, six, seven, last one.
Good job, ladies!
Go! Double time.
Down.
This, let's go!
One, two, three! You got it!
Five, six.
Celine, my child.
Isn't he handsome?
Who is that?
My crush back in high school.
Just turned widower.
And?
He's making a move.
Mom, are you serious?
Celine, your deadbeat father's
been gone for years.
Maybe I can have a love life now, right?
Joanne!
Coming!
Okay, Mom.
Just make sure he's not a scammer!
Aren't you going to have breakfast?
Mom, there's lots of food at Celine's.
Bye!
Sis, wait!
Hey! What about the kids?
- What happened?
- They're with Stephen!
CAN I BORROW SOME MONEY?
Here's what I took.
Okay.
Wow!
Is that for me? To go?
For Attorney Jackie.
She told me she loves our baked goods.
Is the annulment pushing through?
Yes!
I'm raring to strangle him.
Sis.
Get your rightful share.
It should be more than half.
- Try this.
- The recipe is yours.
And your best-selling cheese roll,
its recipe is also yours.
Here's another one.
Sis?
Here.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Asshole.
What happened to you?
Oh my God!
The attorney's office is
all the way at the top!
I can't do it. I'm tired.
Me too.
I suddenly feel old.
My knees hurt. My back hurts.
Thank you.
Let's go?
Go ahead. I'll rest for a while.
Oh my God, sorry, you made this.
I thought this was to fan myself with.
It's fine. We have lots of those.
That's just a draft.
You're good!
Thanks.
What time is your appointment?
2:00 p.m.
You?
3:00 p.m.
I came early in case
the elevator was acting up again,
and here we are.
This is fine too.
At least I have company.
I don't feel so alone.
Alone, where?
In climbing the stairs, perhaps.
Obviously, with the annulment!
I don't know anyone
who's annulled a marriage. Ever!
Separation, yes.
Ghosting, yes.
Really? Ghosting?
Isn't that just for dating,
not for married couples?
That happened to my cousin.
Her husband left her,
and when she died,
all the property went to the guy.
Including the house!
He even let his mistress live there.
That's unfortunate.
I guess this is better, right?
An equal split for everyone.
Haven't you come to terms
with your annulment yet?
You just need to accept
that when it's over,
it's really over.
Some people
just can't be together anymore.
There's no divorce in the Philippines,
so what else can I do?
Everything can be settled
through proper dialogue.
Maya will get tired of this case.
I know her.
That's so unfair.
If she doesn't love you anymore,
shouldn't you set her free?
Hello! Is anyone there?
Yes, Mr. Guard! We're here!
The elevator has been fixed!
You can use it now!
Thanks, but no thanks!
I'm sorry. Have you been here long?
Not really.
Who booked them together again?
I'm at three. I just arrived early.
I'll see you in a bit.
I'll just freshen up.
What's the matter with her?
Is this mine?
Yes, Attorney.
Thank you.
I'm sorry again for being late.
In 37 minutes,
I have an emergency meeting.
I'll deal with you both together.
Is it okay?
This won't happen again.
Is this it?
Did this go through you?
Yes, Attorney Jackie.
You thought this is okay?
Attorney Jackie,
what's in their affidavits is all there.
This won't do it!
This isn't just about the facts!
No one will read this!
It's more exciting to read
a rice cooker manual.
We need drama! Real drama!
But don't make things up.
How's the traffic on the road?
Can you check?
"She got depressed."
"She got depressed"?
She was lost.
She could not recognize herself anymore.
She could no longer function as a wife,
as a mother, and as a woman,
driving herself into a dark,
downward spiral of depression.
Her husband, Stephen,
has continuously mocked
and ignored her mental state.
It's true, isn't it, Ms. Santos?
Attorney, 24 minutes by car.
Via Kalayaan Avenue.
Okay, I have five minutes.
"He tried to earn a living."
My God!
So corny! No!
He has, on many occasions,
tried to be the best provider
for the family,
to the point of setting aside
his mental health,
dignity, and self-worth,
which his wife, Maya,
has undermined
and belittled for over a decade.
Right, Ivan?
Listen.
You need to make me cry.
I need to feel
feelings!
I have three minutes. Let's go.
I'm sorry. We will fix this.
Again, sorry for rushing this meeting.
Cheese roll.
What just happened, Ivan?
I don't know.
We got tricked again.
- Ma'am! Here's more!
- Don't look!
- Basement, please?
- Sir!
Madam!
Do you have a ride?
Sorry for what I said earlier,
that your wife
had no feelings for you anymore.
That's okay.
What I said to you earlier was wrong too.
I didn't know.
You must have gone through hell
with your husband.
I wonder if Maya felt the same way
about me the whole time.
Well,
I also wonder if Stephen feels that
I took for granted
everything he did for me.
I hope not.
Because I did everything I could
to fix our marriage.
Maya, too.
Do women always have to be
the ones making the effort?
Then we look bad
when we get tired and give up.
That's unfair.
We try too.
Especially for our child.
Excuse me. Sorry!
Ma'am!
Get in!
Do you want this?
Bitter gourd pills
for high blood pressure.
Thank you. I already have that.
Here.
Water spinach juice for
weight loss.
Really? Sure, I want that!
- You need it?
- Yes!
This one's for you.
Moringa tea for arthritis.
Seems like you need it. Let's trade?
C'mon, let's have coffee.
Cheese rolls for peace offering?
No. It's okay.
Wow! Thank you.
What else is good here?
Do you want drinks?
We have Dirty Matcha, Spanish Latte
- Lizzie!
- Celine, where are you?
At the shop, in QC.
Okay.
Why aren't you here at the meeting?
What meeting?
Sorry, I didn't remind you.
I thought you knew.
They're introducing a new CEO.
What?!
Wait. Is Stephen there?
Yeah. He introduced him earlier.
He was avoiding us
in the Marketing Department
because he knew I'd tell.
Now what? Was I removed?
I suppose...
Oh my God.
Can I see the inventory this week?
Ma'am.
Ma'am Celine, I'm sorry.
Sir Stephen said
you won't be handling
the accounts anymore.
That we shouldn't give you anything.
He also told the branches
that you're out of the company.
You won't be allowed to
handle documents, either,
or money.
I only let you in earlier
because Sir Stephen wasn't here.
Besides, you've always been
kind to us, ma'am.
But
if we get caught,
we'll be in trouble.
Sis?
You forgot this.
Sorry. I have nothing to do
with what happened.
Here.
I should've ordered a whole cake for you.
I'm sorry, Celine.
I dreamed of all this, you know?
We loved playing kitchen
when we were kids.
Our parents owned a bakery back then.
I wanted all of this.
I never imagined
everything would end up like this.
What do you mean?
Celine's is folding up?
Everything!
My business.
My family.
Just because I realized I got screwed up,
and that I've had enough?
Didn't we agree we'd start over
after we won the annulment?
Everything I have belongs to Stephen.
It's Stephen's property.
Stephen's work. Stephen's gifts.
He can take all of it back from me.
Even my whole being, he can easily ruin.
That's hard to believe,
that he'd consciously hurt you
or make you suffer.
Maybe there's still
a little love left in the guy for you.
Take my case.
Even though Maya wants to leave me,
I still love her.
I may be upset, but I still love her.
I hope you're right.
But if Stephen is truly angry with me,
he'll make it harder for me.
I know him.
My pep talk isn't working on you, right?
A bit.
Thanks.
Now, the pre-trial!
This isn't the main event yet.
Here, they talk about
division of properties.
The custody and visitation rights
to the children.
And whatever is agreed on,
the annulment goes on.
Unless the case is withdrawn.
Lizzie, this is Attorney Jackie
and Attorney Willie.
- She will be my witness.
- Hello.
- Hello, Attorney.
- Welcome to the team, Lizzie!
Anything for Celine, Attorney.
Ivan!
What are you doing here?
This is not on purpose.
We've got nothing to do with
the scheduling.
Aren't you glad?
We were thrilled
when we received the summons.
How convenient!
Everything in one trip.
And you are?
He's my witness. Marcus, remember?
Yes, at your wedding!
I caught the bouquet. And then...
- I slipped the garter onto you.
- Yes! That was you!
Hi!
Attorney Willie Bautista.
Attorney Jackie's associate.
Attorney Willie,
it's a pleasure to meet you.
Cool.
That's Celine.
- Oh, Celine!
- Hi!
- Marcus. Celine?
- Yes.
- Lizzie, my best friend.
- Hi! I'm Marcus.
Hello!
What a great coincidence for all of us.
Okay, you go first, Celine,
and then Ivan next.
It's good. At least you'll know what's
going to happen in your own hearing.
Just remember,
don't get nervous and keep your
Cool.
Isn't he the lawyer
who's always on TV and the news?
Attorney Lucio Realonda,
lawyer of tycoons and politicians.
Our professor at the State University.
Remedial Law.
He was the first to make
Attorney Jackie cry.
Hi, sir.
This is brave of you, Celine.
Leaving and walking away from the family.
Wasting my time and money.
Mr. Alcaraz,
do you need anything from my client?
Lizzie!
I'll see you at the meeting. Wednesday.
Attorney?
We can do this, right?
It's cool.
Come on, let's go.
There's Maya Castro, your wife.
Can we take a selfie with her?
Look at her lawyer.
She looks like a supermodel.
I remember she was
Miss Philippines Galaxy 2000 something
Don't be fooled.
She's a cum laude graduate.
Placed sixth in the bar exams.
Beauty and brains.
Just a moment.
How can you just throw away
our 14 years of marriage?
Like it never happened?
Believe me, Ivan, it's for the best.
Especially for Elio.
You shouldn't have shown up at all.
You shouldn't have gotten a lawyer
or fought back!
If this case drags on
and our expenses shoot up,
it's on you.
But since you tried to fight this,
what else can I do?
Ivan, please, let's just
go through the process, okay?
Maya, please, listen to me!
Ivan.
Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop.
It's okay.
I TOLD YOU.
CELINE'S HAS ALWAYS
BEEN MY DREAM.
WHAT ARE THE LIGHTS FOR?
IS IT CHRISTMAS?
FINE! I KNOW YOU CAN DRAW WELL!
THAT'S JUST HOW I IMAGINED
CELINE'S TO BE.
ISN'T THAT AI?
OF COURSE NOT!
CHECK MY PIX ACCOUNT.
NICE! WHY DID YOU STOP PAINTING?
I'VE LOST STEAM.
BY MY THIRTIES, I WAS NO LONGER
FRESH AND WUNDERKIND.
DON'T YOU WANT TO START OVER?
MAYBE
IF A NEW INSPIRATION COMES ALONG.
Now, the trial proceedings.
The testimonies in the judicial affidavit.
Stories. Drama.
This is it!
Gird your loins. Guard your heart.
Hydrate!
Because the real battle starts now.
A tougher, longer fight!
In your petition, you claimed that
both of you are
psychologically incapacitated.
In your husband's case,
"psychologically incapacitated"
because you were repeatedly belittled
and diminished by your husband.
Could you please elaborate?
There were incidents like that.
Start from the first incident.
Stephen controlled everything
because he paid for everything.
The business.
My kids.
Even my body.
I lost my personality.
My identity.
My voice.
We need Pepe!
Here we go!
We need Pepe!
No trace of misconduct!
Pepe is upright!
A good public servant!
Pepe of our land!
Come on! Enough!
- It's cringey.
- All right, okay.
- You're gonna make him win.
- Yeah.
- All right!
- For sure.
And who would have ever thought
that the dumbest guy in our class
would make it to Congress?
Actually,
I didn't know he wanted
to run for higher office.
I thought his next move was show business.
What's the difference?
He's so active on his social media,
all for his campaigns.
Yeah.
Hey, but the real question though is,
is he paying you a lot?
Because he should!
- All right.
- Of course!
Okay.
But isn't he corrupt?
Hon.
Well,
I mean,
isn't that what's on the news?
Right?
Cool.
Okay.
Are you done?
Hon, when I tell you to shut up,
you shut up.
Seriously, though.
- Don't play that again.
- I won't.
I'm not allowed to speak up.
I can't just interrupt
their conversations.
I can't drink. I can't eat.
Stephen!
Stephen, help me. Please?
You know what, hon?
Don't even bother.
Our PR agency messaged me.
And?
And, you know,
they're doing a feature on you.
Our new baby.
Our new products.
You know, it's a good thing, but.
I'm gonna need your body
to be ready for it, hon.
Tonight, there's going to be a
lot of people taking photos.
You don't want that.
Excuse me?
Okay, just
They want your photos to look good
when the campaign launches.
Look,
I'm the business and marketing graduate
between the two of us, right?
Okay, so trust me.
And you sit this one out.
Okay? Look, I gotta go.
Okay?
C'mon.
We'll work on it.
Even the clothes I wear,
he chooses whenever I meet his friends.
You felt
that your husband was ashamed of you
because of your weight?
He had issues with how I looked.
He specifically said that?
Yes, Attorney.
Could you please elaborate?
Ouch!
Hon.
C'mon, you really gonna wear
those strappy sandals?
It looks like sausage.
But my shoes don't fit me
anymore, Stephen.
You know, I read that when it's a boy,
women's looks really are
drastically affected.
We're most likely having a boy.
That's probably why
you're bloating so much.
Look, Hon.
Your feet are so swollen.
Even your nose.
It looks bigger.
Hey, c'mon! It's a good thing.
Right? It's a good thing. It's good news.
We're having a boy! Come on!
Plus, you're my wife,
so your plastic surgery is
always free with Mom.
Just to please Stephen,
even when I was pregnant,
I went on a diet.
I did everything.
Dietician. Physical trainer.
Calorie counting.
The works.
Stephen!
I almost lost Zoe.
And I can't imagine my life without her.
I don't understand why
I did those things back then.
But the guilt
of putting my child's life at risk
just to please my husband
Even now, I carry that burden alone.
I carry that burden to this day.
Even after putting my life
and my daughter's life in danger,
Stephen didn't stop.
He still saw flaws in me that need fixing.
So how do you like your new nose, Celine?
I had complications.
I had to do more than one surgery
just to fix things.
I felt like a monster.
I myself started to believe
so much was wrong with me,
and I thought Stephen
was the only one who could fix me.
Because I thought he loved me.
Pastry school in Paris.
How fancy!
Did you pay for this too, Mr. Alcaraz?
Yes.
Everything!
Everything. Meaning what?
Everything, meaning I gave her
everything she wanted,
not just what she needed.
Jewelry.
Shoes.
Bags.
All of it, you can check her posts online.
You'll see she's so happy.
She's absolutely thrilled.
Hashtag, grateful.
Hashtag, blessed.
Hashtag, my husband is the best.
Even that incident she mentioned,
her extreme weight loss
that almost cost her life,
it's all there.
Hashtag, my weight loss journey.
You can check online. All of it is there.
All the proof I need, it's online.
She was proud of the life that
I gave and afforded her.
No further questions, Your Honor.
Counsel?
Permission to cross-examine
the witness, Your Honor?
Proceed.
Sir, there's no question that Celine
is psychologically incapacitated.
She's already been
to a couple of psychiatrists,
and has already been given
anti-depressants and other medications.
Do you confirm these?
Yes, I do, Attorney.
Sir, you were not born yesterday,
and do you agree with me that
not everything that you see
on social media is true?
Well, some are true.
But not everything.
Yes.
Do you believe everything
that she has posted?
Do you believe that they are true?
I do.
Attorney, I should know. I'm her husband.
I'm well aware of everything that she was
benefiting from our marriage.
So could it be that
the reason that you are
opposing the petition
is the allegations which involves
the chain of restaurants,
if I may highlight,
was started and named after my client?
She didn't invest a single cent
in our business.
What?
Her old booth at the bake fair
back in 2014?
Okay. Parchment paper wrappers
with neon stickers as packaging?
Come on.
Come on!
True. But it was Celine's image
that your brand,
that your product, your business,
has been famous.
Right?
But, Attorney, I'll say it again.
She didn't invest a single cent
in the business.
Okay, I even paid for her business
and marketing classes
just so she would learn
how this business worked.
Okay, to propose that
she should get an equal share
in the business
or even any of our properties,
that's unfair!
That's not fair!
Do not get ahead of the court.
It's not up to you
to decide what's fair or not.
It is up to the court.
So you're here.
Attorney Jackie was looking for you
in the bathroom.
I worried about you. Are you okay?
It was exhausting and draining.
I suddenly felt ashamed.
I felt like a gold-digger.
That's not it.
That's not how it came across, Celine.
If anyone's on the losing end here,
it's him.
Because he treated you
like an object, right?
All he ever talks about is money
and material things.
I'm willing to let go of all that.
Just not my business.
It's mine. That's me.
Is it really that hard to let go?
Of Celine's?
Maybe it's like your love for Maya.
I've had it for years.
Loved it.
Nurtured it.
That's why I'll fight for it to the end.
And besides,
that's the only legacy
I can leave my children
that's solely mine.
How about you?
Why can't you let go of Maya and Elio?
Maybe because
They're all I have left.
Hey!
Beer as your chaser?
Hey, Ivan,
shouldn't I be the one getting drunk?
Maybe you want some water?
Or juice?
She won't even let me try to fix things.
One more round.
Hey, stop it!
I'm okay, Celine.
- Make it double.
- Hey!
I'm okay, promise!
I'm okay.
We're friends, right?
- We're friends.
- Okay.
I have no more friends.
Maya took our friends.
You're my best friend.
No, Marcus is my best friend.
You're my second-best friend.
Make this a double shot!
You rank third.
Fourth!
Elio, Maya, Marcus,
and you!
You sure I'm fourth?
I don't know.
Maya hates me.
Elio hates me.
I think you're second again.
You know, it's okay.
It doesn't really matter.
You're my friend because
You know everything I've been through.
Well, Lizzie too.
She also knows
everything I've been through.
You two.
You know my life story.
Perhaps you're right.
Maybe Maya doesn't love me anymore.
Why would she take Elio away
when she knows they're my whole world?
My God!
At least with you,
Maya loved you.
But me?
I don't know if Stephen really loved me.
Stephen.
Hey! There goes the chic Celine!
I ain't truly chic!
That Celine was Stephen's creation.
Didn't you hear what was said earlier?
I'm from the province! Hello.
My God!
I also don't know if I truly loved him.
Perhaps.
I was only happy in the beginning because
You know that feeling
when everything seems new?
Just bring the bottle here, bro!
Let me finish it.
Damn it!
Can't you see we're already drunk?
It must have been my fault.
I allowed him to alter me.
Celine.
No one owns you.
No one owns you.
Just like I don't own Maya or Elio.
They can leave when they want to.
Maya doesn't really love me anymore.
It hurts.
Celine
You're really pretty, you know?
Ivan! My shoes!
Rise and shine!
There's water over there.
There's coconut juice too.
How did you find us?
Mama told me Stephen is a coward.
Listen to yourself.
You sent a voice message.
You told me your whole life story,
so I knew you were in trouble.
Even my mom doesn't like Stephen.
The waiter helped me
get both of you in the car.
And I paid the bill too.
Ivan is such a troublemaker.
I'm up.
I'm taking my job seriously.
But this isn't my duty anymore.
You're both in the middle of a case.
You don't need to be getting into trouble.
Especially you, Ivan!
Do you know what will happen
if Maya finds out you're drinking again?
If we lose this case,
I'll tell Mom to stop
sending you caramel flan.
I'm so sorry, Celine.
I'll bring you home before Ivan.
How will you carry him home?
He's so heavy.
I'll drag him
and then leave him outside his house.
Don't leave me, Celine.
Okay.
Attorney, let me do that.
Thank you, Celine.
No worries.
Ivan is so heavy.
You can't carry him alone.
It'd be sad if you just left him outside.
He's alone,
though he has a stay-out helper
who tends to him.
His parents died during the pandemic.
He got all the more depressed.
Ivan has a problem.
He's an alcoholic.
Come on, help me.
He's really a good man,
but fate's been cruel to him.
He's really got a big heart,
but he's always left heartbroken.
Okay.
Let's go!
I'll stay here for a while, Attorney.
You go ahead.
Best friend number four duties.
Listen, Celine.
This won't look right.
You're in the middle of an annulment.
I know you're getting close,
and that's great.
But be discreet.
Stephen's or Maya's camp might react
No, Attorney! No!
We're just friends.
It's so obvious that Ivan
hasn't moved on from Maya.
And with all my problems,
would I still be
in a romantic relationship?
Okay.
You're both adults.
You know what you're doing.
I hope.
Celine.
Celine.
Hey, Celine.
Hey! Whoa!
What time is it?
It's 6:45 in the morning.
Okay.
Okay.
Are you okay now?
Yes. Thank you.
Of course.
Didn't you say we'd stick it out together?
Ivan.
Can we promise each other something?
Promise what?
Let's work together to win the case.
Let's listen to Attorney Jackie.
Last night was fun.
But no more drinking, okay?
We need to clean up.
You should help me too.
Help me
Maybe help me not to kill Stephen.
Okay.
Okay, number four.
Really?
I stayed with you the whole night!
Marcus is my witness in the case.
So he's still number three.
And I cleaned you up!
Marcus is the one who pays my salary.
I give up then.
Thank you again.
You smell!
Take a shower. You smell like vomit.
Joanne, what's wrong?
What happened?
I was fired.
What?
For a nepotism hire.
Didn't you say that you were
a culinary arts graduate?
It's Stephen!
He did this!
Sis, don't.
Stephen went to the shop the other day.
I thought we were okay when he saw me,
but then he dragged me into this.
Take this back.
This is yours!
You worked hard for it.
And my nieces!
Make sure he doesn't get custody!
That won't happen.
Attorney Jackie said
if the child is under seven years old
and there's no compelling reason not to,
custody is granted to the mother.
Good!
Maya,
please expound your experience stated
in paragraph 4 of your judicial affidavit?
At first,
it was two to three bottles
of beer a night.
I figured it was okay because,
you know,
he's an artist.
He was already like this
when we were in college.
But I thought that as soon as
we had Elio, graduated,
got married, that, you know,
things would change and he'd stop.
But that wasn't the case.
Beer
became hard liquor.
Vodka.
Tequila. Rum.
Gin.
When work was slowing down
The drinking got worse.
Drinking turns him into
a completely different person.
And our son Elio, he sees that.
Elio experienced the worst
of his drinking problems.
Three stitches.
A concussion.
I mean, strangers had to bring
my son to the hospital.
He was that drunk.
He was that irresponsible.
Anyway, I told myself I can't
keep living with someone like that.
He put my child's life in danger.
Is that how a father should be?
I have the right to be
tired.
I'm
I'm angry.
And I should be able to walk away
from that type of relationship.
To take my son
away from that kind of environment.
I may have to.
Well, now you know.
Alcoholic,
violent,
and a neglectful parent.
Me too.
Gold-digger.
Materialistic.
And left the kids with my husband.
As the young ones would say,
we listen, and we don't judge.
I still feel like shit!
Maybe we're the real villains, huh?
It's Maya who should really
be Elio's guardian.
I'm contesting that
not only because I love my child,
but so Maya can see that I'm a good dad.
You know, with Stephen,
even though he's self-centered,
a misogynist,
narcissistic,
vain, spoiled, and an asshole,
I know he loves our children very much.
No matter how much I hate him,
I know that.
So I think Maya also knows
how much you love Elio.
Thank you, number four!
All right.
- Jenny!
- Ma'am!
Are the kids ready? How about their stuff?
They left with Sir Stephen.
I prepared their things,
knowing you'd pick them up.
Where did they go?
When are they coming back?
I don't know. They might be home late.
Hi, Chloe!
Don't tell Daddy it's me, okay?
Where are you?
Jenny, please get the kids' stuff.
So where are you?
Zoe, Chloe!
Mommy!
Hi!
Hi, love!
Are you done eating?
Yes, Mommy.
Daddy took us shopping!
Oh wow! For toys?
No. For bags, Mommy.
Okay.
Wash your hands now if you're done.
Go with your sister.
- We're leaving now.
- Let's go, Zoe!
Oh yeah, that's right!
You're supposed to take them
with you to the hotel.
I'm sorry. I forgot.
- What do you think you're doing?
- What?
What will the kids do with designer bags?
Don't make them materialistic
like you, Stephen.
And also, you're a scumbag, aren't you?
You had to drag my sibling into our mess.
Well, look at you.
Miss Independent Woman
who still wants to be part of my company.
C'mon. Give me a break, Celine.
Look, you help your family, okay?
Because I'm not going to.
And if I want to spoil my kids,
I will.
Because that's the life
that I can give them.
If you want to go back to the province
where people sing karaoke
until two in the morning,
then, please,
by all means, go right ahead.
Let's see where my children
will be happier.
Sis, what is that?
I want to watch YouTube.
Not now, Zoe.
All right, fine!
Good day!
For valet, ma'am?
Thank you.
Okay, we're here!
I'll take care of your things.
Say hi to Grandma.
Go down.
- Grandma!
- Grandma!
My grandkids!
Have you had any snacks yet?
There's food inside.
We just ate, Grandma.
Chloe! Zoe!
Come here!
Go!
Ma!
Why did you drop by?
We're going to be staying here for now.
- Why?
- Ask their stupid dad!
I'll teach you a dance, okay?
You follow me first.
So
Heartbeat, heartbeat, heartbeat.
No, no, heartbeat, no, no!
And then you turn around.
- Grandma, join us!
- Yes, baby!
When your heart beats.
Ready!
Five, six, seven, eight!
When the heart beats.
More!
It's been a while
since you slept beside me.
I remember
you and Joanne always slept side by side.
We were cramped in bed.
You always fell off.
Because you and Dad always fought,
and you'd seek refuge in our room.
I'd wake up to your sobs.
I didn't know how to react,
so I'd just pretend to be asleep.
I was just in the third grade back then.
And, Mom,
even after Papa was gone,
I could sense that you remained troubled.
Of course.
Thank you.
It wasn't your job to help me back then.
Thank God that you were kind.
Not once did you and Joanne
ever give me any trouble.
I'd like to think that
even if we were struggling,
I raised you both well.
Celine.
I know I couldn't give you
a luxurious life.
And I know
that was one of the reasons
you fell for Stephen.
Sorry, my child.
After your annulment with Stephen,
I hope this life will be enough
for you and your daughters.
Even if Stephen takes away
everything from you,
I hope
you still remain whole.
Mama
You really took after me.
This
is from me.
This?
Also mine.
Your ears are your father's.
And this,
I don't recognize.
From whom did you get that?
- I love you, Mama.
- I love you.
May you please state
why you are opposing the petition?
I love my son very much.
And if I need to stay married to Maya
to be with my child,
I will do everything I need to do.
Is there anything in the petition
that you would want to refute?
Nothing.
Everything Maya said was right.
No further questions, Your Honor.
Permission to cross-examine
the respondent, Your Honor?
Proceed.
Ivan.
If you're saying that
everything in Maya's petition is correct,
then you admit that you were an alcoholic?
Yes.
But after Maya and I separated,
I've been trying to get sober.
And that you were
an irresponsible father and husband.
Yes.
But I am trying my best
to be a good father to Elio.
"Trying."
You've used that word twice.
I know I've made many mistakes in life.
That's why I'm asking for a second chance
to prove to my family
that I've changed.
I admit,
I am at my lowest point.
But like I said,
I am trying.
But you have been
at this lowest point
for so many years now.
How long do you plan to stay there?
What kind of question is that?
It doesn't seem right for you
to think of me that way.
I'm sorry, but
But it's hard for me to just accept
my wife's decision for us to separate.
Yes, there were bad times.
But there were good times too.
Right?
It's already hard for me to accept
that I'm a failure, Maya.
But why still step on someone
who's already down?
Shouldn't your family and spouse be
the first people to understand?
Shouldn't you be
the one helping your spouse rise up,
not abandoning him?
Because, Your Honor,
we both took the same vow.
Back when she was just starting out,
and I was doing well,
I was there to boost her confidence.
To support her.
Day by day.
Now that I'm the one
going through rough times,
why am I the one being dropped?
So, Elio,
it's been three years
since your parents separated?
Yes.
And how's that been
with your parents separated?
They're okay.
I'm with Mom.
Sometimes, I'm with Dad.
Are you happy with your Mom?
Yeah.
How about your Dad?
It's okay.
"It's okay."
You said that you're happy with your Mom,
and it's just "okay" with your Dad.
Does this mean you're happier
when you're with your Mom?
Objection, Your Honor.
The line of questioning
of the counsel here is misleading.
Attorney, I'm just trying to
establish a point here
regarding the well-being of our witness.
No.
The witness here said okay.
Meaning enough, just right, affirmative.
There's no point of comparison
with the word okay being inferior
to what the witness said,
which was, "Yeah,"
in response to your question,
which I quote,
"And you're happier with your mom?"
"Yeah" and "okay" are the same.
The witness never said he is happier in
the company of his mother than his father.
- Your Honor?
- Sustained!
Your Honor, it's important that
we establish the state of mind
of the child
whenever he's with his parents.
Attorney, please don't use semantics
to confuse the court.
Please don't make it appear
that the witness here
is trying to say that he is happier
with one parent.
My interpretation
should not matter here, Attorney.
I am taking into consideration
the demeanor of the child.
Besides, is it wrong for the child to say
that he's happier with one parent
than the other?
Your Honor, the counsel here is trying
to play with the child's emotions.
I am not!
Order in the court!
What's happening?
I don't
I'm not happy!
Elio.
I'm sorry.
I just don't get what they're saying.
My parents are okay.
I don't know.
I don't love or hate anyone
more than the other.
Right now, I hate them both equally
for being here!
I don't want to say the wrong things.
I don't know if Mom or my dad is better.
I just I don't know!
I just want us to be okay and happy again.
Please.
Just this once.
Are you guys still okay?
It's exhausting, isn't it?
I really tried
that ginkgo biloba root tea,
and my memory improved!
And my hair became thicker.
It'll be good for you.
- Me?
- Yes!
Ivan!
Celine!
- Hello.
- Hello.
Ma'am! I have a product
that can make you taller...
Janice! Take care of
the raffle prizes now.
Hi! My favorite annulment clients.
Merry Christmas!
- Merry Christmas!
- Merry Christmas!
Have you been here long?
Sorry, I have to greet other guests.
No, it's okay.
You don't have to worry about us.
Oh no,
I am worried.
We're doing nothing wrong.
Sure, sure.
Celine, there's French wine at the bar.
For you. Not for you, Ivan.
- You can have some jelly drinks.
- Okay.
I'll see you in a bit.
See you.
Merry Christmas!
- Merry Christmas!
- Merry Christmas!
Thank you.
Take it easy.
You might get drunk.
Really, with jelly drinks?
This party sucks.
Janice was trying to sell me
hair thickener.
Why didn't you buy it?
Sure.
Then I'll get you some height boosters.
- No, thanks.
- Hello!
Merry Christmas
to our favorite annulment clients.
Merry Christmas!
Why can't we simply be
your favorite clients?
How many annulment clients do you have?
Actually, just you two.
Our favorite is
Excuse me.
Hey, who?
You know, I feel
I'm Attorney Jackie's favorite.
Aren't we both?
No!
Does she send you gifts?
Like a box of grapes.
Really?
She sends you grapes?
- Yes!
- It's raffle time!
Ma'am, take these!
Janice, perfect!
Raffle those off!
- Raffle them off now!
- I'll get back to you.
Sure!
- It's time.
- Game?
Raffle time!
Have you been to the rooftop?
I spoke with the kids earlier.
Zoe showed me the snowman she made.
How are Maya and Elio?
Maya sent a picture.
They're in Japan right now
with her parents.
On New Year's, Elio will be with me.
Stephen may be reasonable sometimes.
He said the kids will stay with me
the whole summer.
Nice!
It's a good thing
I'm staying with Mom and Joanne now.
Me?
I've been alone, but that's fine with me
because
I get to read some books.
To be honest, not a good idea.
I even read self-help books.
I also read Maya's romance pocket books.
She may be classy, but
she bought lots of books.
Tagalog love stories.
It's obvious you still love her.
What?
C'mon, let's get back to Attorney Jackie.
All right.
We might get locked out.
Oh my God!
- No!
- Oh, shit.
No!
- Does it work?
- No!
Can you check your phone, please?
Any signal?
None!
Oh my God! Me neither!
Wi-Fi?
I don't have Wi-Fi.
I took the Wi-Fi protection
Janice gave me.
Come on! I'm not playing with you!
I have no Wi-Fi!
I only connect to Jackie's. It's so weak!
Didn't you see that router?
It had tape on it...
Don't yell at me! Please!
I'm sorry.
I can't...
Do you have claustrophobia too?
No.
Okay.
Yes.
Yes?
Yes.
Severe.
Okay.
Breathe.
Stay calm.
It's okay.
At least we're together.
Don't use up all the oxygen in here.
Try this.
If you suffocate first,
I'll step on you
to reach that small exit over there.
- Let's go.
- Get in.
- What time is it?
- You're so lucky!
Space, please.
Wait, we won't fit anymore.
The elevator is packed,
and it's broken, right?
Bye!
Thanks for coming! Merry Christmas!
I'll check at home.
What's in it?
- Sure?
- Yes.
Next year, I will get it.
Sure.
- Who needs a ride?
- Me!
Just you?
- Me too!
- Bye!
Celine.
Pressing harder won't speed that up.
Celine!
I'm sorry.
Perhaps
I drank too much.
I'm drunk.
You didn't drink all night, Ivan.
You know, it's fine.
I just can't do it
while we're still married.
Of course.
Let's see this through till the end.
We'll wait.
We'll wait.
After the hearings, testimonies,
and thousands of pages of documents,
we wait!
I hate this building!
A year later,
and the elevator is still broken!
At least
you learned to wear rubber shoes.
Pressing it harder won't fix that.
Attorney Jackie got stuck again.
She'll be furious all day.
Attorney!
Water.
Thank you.
Attorney, I have a product for itchy skin.
Do you want some?
Is there any?
It's a rash.
It's hot in the elevator.
Good news or bad news first?
Good. No, wait.
Bad news.
I saw your husband Stephen and his camp
file a motion for reconsideration.
What we can do is organize a mediation
with Stephen and Attorney Realonda.
Wait.
Before I ask anything else,
what's the good news?
The court has ruled in your favor.
Congratulations!
Should I be happy?
What is a motion for reconsideration?
When you receive a decision
or resolution about your case,
whether in your favor or not,
both parties can submit
a motion for reconsideration
to the very court that issued
the decision or resolution.
Because the judge might realize
there was an error in his decision
or resolution
and reverse it.
So will the case take longer?
What we can do is to negotiate.
It depends on how much
he's willing to give,
how much you're willing to take
when it comes to your conjugal properties.
And same with you, Ivan.
You can also file the same thing
when it comes to Elio's custody
if the court rules in Maya's favor.
Stephen won't just let me go easily, huh?
It's okay.
Didn't we say we'd wait?
If Maya wins,
will you file
a motion for reconsideration?
I'll do everything I can
to get custody of Elio.
Even if I have to wait.
My son means everything to me.
How about your business?
Zoe and Chloe?
Maya, are you okay?
It's Elio.
I came late to his game.
They lost, and he's just really upset.
Elio, come on.
Get down!
Get your bag.
Come on.
Get it.
Hey, Elio!
Elio?
Ivan, it's okay.
You're going too far!
You're becoming a bully!
I know you hate our situation,
but we're trying
for your sake!
Your mom's distressed because of me,
and you're making it even worse!
- Ivan, it's no big deal.
- It is!
Don't ever disrespect your mom.
Do that again, and you'll get it from me.
Understood?
Pick those up.
Now!
It's okay.
Maya, don't.
Let me do it, Mom.
Behave with your dad, okay? I love you.
I'll call you later.
Elio.
Hey.
Take a shower.
There's pizza inside.
Don't worry. We'll be fine.
Thank you.
Here's your juice.
I'm sorry, Dad.
That's okay.
Just don't treat your mom that way
ever again, Elio.
Go ahead and eat.
Mommy and I are leaving.
She'll work in Singapore.
That's
That's great news.
Do you know what your mom
went through to get that job?
That has been her dream
for a long time, son.
How about you?
We'll figure it out.
I'll be okay.
I'll be okay.
Don't run.
Hey, wait for Mommy.
Thanks for coming.
Careful!
- Let's go.
- Okay.
Slowly.
- See you around.
- Okay.
- Hi! Come in!
- Hello.
For Elio.
Thank you.
Celine, right?
Yes.
I interviewed your husband
when he was opening his other restaurant.
A little bit of an elitist snob,
to be honest.
I get why you're looking
for an annulment too.
Come in.
You're always at our hearings with Ivan.
I figured you're just getting
some tips from me, right?
Yes.
Actually, we have the same lawyer,
Attorney Jackie.
Good. I mean...
I thought it was something else at first.
We're friends.
Don't worry.
He told me
you and Elio are his best friends
number one and two.
And who's number three?
There!
That's Marcus.
Formerly number one.
He got jealous when I became number one.
Anyway, please just make yourself at home.
I'll check on the other guests.
Sure.
Come on, Zoe, let's play.
All right, go back there now.
Have a bite.
Thank you.
Maya was nice.
You two have talked already?
Didn't I ask you to introduce
me and Lizzie,
so we could have a photo with her?
Excuse me, everyone! Hi!
Thank you all for coming today and making
it out here for a special, special day
I think she thinks we're together.
What did you say?
I said we're friends.
It's true, isn't it?
You guys ready to sing?
Yes!
Ivan! Let's sing.
Excuse me.
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday Happy birthday.
Happy birthday to you!
Make a wish.
- Yeah!
- Hurray!
Come on.
Go straight to the car.
Thanks for coming!
I hope the kids had fun.
Of course. You can see
they're completely exhausted.
Sorry I couldn't get back to you.
There were so many guests.
That's okay.
Ivan, my meeting is on Friday.
Promise, I'll be there.
Didn't we agree to see this through
till the end?
Thank you for coming.
It was nice seeing you.
Okay, bye!
See you.
Slowly.
Cheers?
Just this time.
It's our baby's birthday.
Thank you.
You know,
I was always scared
that he'd drink earlier, like we did.
I know, right? Kids are so weird nowadays.
I mean, who would've thought teenagers
would want a children's party?
He's a good kid.
Yeah.
He's back to being nice and sweet again
since you scolded him last month.
Ivan
Okay.
I'll stop.
Ivan.
What?
Anyway, Celine,
let's maximize this conference
until they withdraw their MR.
And if we have the chance
to close this today,
let's close this today.
Anyway, I know your bottom line.
And I have an idea what is theirs.
We will do our best, okay?
Celine?
Okay?
Let's go?
Ivan!
Celine!
Ivan made it.
I'm so glad you're here.
I'm nervous how this will turn out.
You'll be fine.
I trust Attorney Jackie.
- Celine, I have something to tell you.
- Celine?
Sorry, we're starting.
Let's get this over with.
Attorney, let's make this quick
and get straight to the point, shall we?
Okay.
This has dragged on too long already.
There is no way that my client
is going to agree
to a 50/50 split,
a 60/40 split,
or even an 80/20 split.
That's just not going to happen.
We will pursue our motion
for reconsideration.
You know, Celine,
this is getting ridiculous.
Look,
you know it was my money
that funded everything.
Stephen, let me handle this.
Come on.
Can you really, in good conscience,
leave everything
and everyone just like that?
Celine.
You're my wife.
Not anymore.
You can have your jewelry,
your stilettos, your bags.
You can wear them if you want.
You can have Celine's.
You're right. They're yours.
But I'm not.
Not anymore.
And you just have to let me go.
My client only asks for child support.
If there's one redeeming quality
about you, Stephen,
it's that I know you love our children.
Thank you.
Just
let me know when you're taking the girls.
If you'd like,
you can take the city condo.
No, thank you. We'll be fine without it.
Ivan!
It's over.
I'm free!
Celine.
Maya talked to me last night.
- She wants our family back.
- I want our family back.
The annulment is a mistake.
I think I still love you.
Maya, aren't you leaving?
You're about to get your dream job.
Elio needs you.
He doesn't want to leave you.
I've given you so many chances
to fix our marriage.
I think I deserve my chance this time.
It's over?
Yes, it's over.
After all is done
and everyone's satisfied with the terms,
the final decision has been given,
no more motion for reconsideration,
our job is done.
You can finally change
your Facebook status to
"single."
Minister,
you've mentioned how economic anxiety
drove American voters to Trump twice now.
Singaporeans have similar issues
with housing and cost,
but there's no
anti-establishment backlash here.
Why do you think that is?
I think Singaporeans recognize
we delivered results consistently.
They're not easily swayed
by populist rhetoric like other countries.
Our people are smart enough to know that
changing systems
for the sake of change would be
Ivan!
risky and potentially destructive
to what we've built.
You are essentially arguing that
Singaporeans are happy with
Celine!
How are you?
Fine.
I was craving some Celine's.
We don't have that in Singapore.
Now, it's Chloe and Zoe's.
Bro, meet my girlfriend Anne.
Nice to meet you. Thanks for coming.
Everyone, the bride is coming!
Let's get ready.
- Ready?
- Excuse me. Let's get in place.
Everyone, be ready! We're about to start.
- Jackie.
- Willie.
Receive this ring as a sign
of my love and fidelity.
In the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Now, let us humbly invoke
God's blessing upon this bride and groom,
that in His kindness He may favor
with His help
those on whom He has bestowed
the sacrament of matrimony.
In the sight of God and these witnesses,
I now pronounce you husband and wife.
You may now kiss the bride.
Controversial.
Convoluted.
Complicated.
The spelling alone is quite confusing.
Double N, single I?
Single N, double I?
Double N, double I?
Or single N?
Or single N and single I?
I still use spell check sometimes.
In the Philippines,
where there's no divorce law,
why resort to annulment?
Who can nullify a marriage?
Is this only for celebrities,
the moneyed,
the elite,
or for everyone?
What is its step-by-step process?
Most of all, the big question.
Is it really worth it?
We'll discuss and dissect all this
for today's video.
I'm Attorney Jackie Lombridas,
and this is.
No Flaw in the Law!
The most common grounds for annulment,
as I'm sure you must have heard before,
is psychological incapacity.
When filing for an annulment,
what should you do first?
What else?
Get a good lawyer!
Sorry.
Excuse me.
Do I stink?
You smell the same as my husband.
Good or bad?
I don't know, but my head hurts.
Excuse me!
The receptionist isn't here yet.
Hi! Are you here for
the 2:00 p.m. appointment?
Yes. Ms. Santos.
I texted Jackie I'm here now.
Attorney Willie, the 2:00 p.m.
annulment cases are here.
Ma'am, here's some
HerbAmazing Mushroom Coffee.
It's good for your body. It helps you lose
weight and helps with insomnia.
We also have moringa tea.
This is perfect for you.
- Hold on.
- Try it.
Mr. Buencamino.
Mrs. Alcaraz.
Jackie herself texted me. She told me two.
Attorney Willie, I believe
you scheduled me for 2:00 p.m.
Yes, two
Attorney.
- Attorney Willie Bautista!
- Yes...
How could you let this happen?
- Now I have two clients at two!
- Yes, boss... I mean, Attorney.
Yes, 2:00 p.m.
Aren't you in charge of clients? Did you
not check the schedule with Janice?
- Yes, I did. It's my fault. I...
- This is unprofessional!
Hello?
I am so sorry.
This won't happen again.
So, who can go first?
- I have to pick up my kid at four.
- I'm picking my kids up at four.
Please, be considerate.
My job's at stake here.
In making a petition for annulment,
you need to tell the whole story.
History.
Beginning to end.
It's like talking to Ms. Charo,
the TV counselor host.
Aunt Charo, if you're Gen Z.
I want my business.
If I can keep all of it,
or at least half, maybe?
And I want control.
I can't stop Maya
from filing for annulment.
All I want
is for us to reach an agreement
with regard to my son.
I deserve a chance to be Elio's dad.
How did it begin?
I met Stephen at a baking fair
I joined back then.
He tried our best-selling cheese rolls,
and, of course, he liked them.
He offered to buy all our goods
in exchange for my number,
offered help with branding,
marketing
Foolish me agreed just to make a sale.
How it ended.
Why did you separate?
Isn't it enough to say
I don't love him anymore?
She says she doesn't love me anymore.
We want details.
Complete.
Convincing.
Compelling.
And what do you do, Mrs. Alca...
I mean, Ms. Santos?
Well, I'm a businesswoman.
I think.
That is, if Stephen doesn't
take back our business.
You're a culinary arts graduate.
You're a chef.
Not anymore.
I swear, Attorney, I have a job now.
What are you into now, Ivan?
Glass blowing?
Wedding videography?
Don't tell me you're doing
bird photography now?
Rogue Ink.
That's where I work.
Tattoo?
Comic book illustration.
Make sure you don't quit this time.
Of course not! I'm dead serious now.
I'm serious, too.
You need a steady job to win against Maya.
You're up against a top news anchor
in the Philippines.
That's why you're my lawyer, right?
Exactly.
Thank you for trusting me
with this case, Ms. Santos.
How did you hear about me?
Google.
Oh, yes. My current viral case
with the popular actor
versus fast food mascot?
With the polygamist politician
versus his 9 wives and 43 children?
Politician versus the massage parlor?
Plastic...
Ah, yes!
Plastic surgeon versus
the come backing pop star.
Plastic surgeon
versus the flat-chested sexy star?
Plastic surgeon versus the Guadalupe
residents hit by her billboard!
- The plastic surgeon
- I knew it.
Is my mother-in-law.
Dr. Alcaraz.
I figured if you could beat someone
as rich and powerful as she is,
then I have a chance against their family.
That's why, Ms. Celine Santos,
I am the perfect lawyer for this case.
Can you subscribe to my YouTube channel?
So we can fix our door?
It broke last week.
Aside from weight loss, sir,
it will also protect you from Wi-Fi.
It has mitochondria energy cells.
- I can give you a discount.
- Thank you.
- If you're buying a lot.
- Good luck.
Ma'am.
Pressing harder won't speed that up.
It must be broken.
You've been here the whole time
I was in Jackie's office?
You got sales-talked, didn't you?
Things happened so fast.
What am I gonna do with mushroom coffee?
I own a caf!
Which caf?
Celine's.
Celine's?
The one famous for its cheese roll?
Wow!
Aren't you in a hurry?
I also have to pick up my child at four.
This is easy.
We're going down anyway.
The owner of Celine's,
a bourgeois?
Of course not.
I used to wade through floods
back in college.
Besides, it's my husband who's rich.
I mean, ex.
Ex-husband.
You're the bourgeois one.
I know what you're wearing.
Your bag. Your shoes.
Even your perfume.
All those cost a fortune.
My wife bought these.
She doesn't like my clothes.
I can't face Jackie in just a t-shirt.
Jackie?
You know each other well?
Yes, we're cousins.
That's why she's doing it for free.
Don't worry, she's the smartest
among us cousins.
She'll make you win.
I know.
So what did you do?
You cheated, didn't you?
Of course not!
I wouldn't do that to my spouse.
What about you?
Nothing.
I didn't do anything.
He did me wrong, so I'm breaking free.
Did he fool you?
No.
Just plain crazy.
Now, the paperwork and filing,
we lawyers will take care of that.
File the petition at
the local Regional Trial Court
where you or your spouse have lived
for at least six months.
Jenny!
- Ma'am.
- Where's Jenny?
Over there.
For larger assets
and declared conjugal properties,
the fees are higher.
The kids? Please get them ready.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
I didn't invite you.
Stephen, stop it.
Can you get their things, please?
Jenny.
Celine, you don't live here anymore.
You can't order them around.
Okay.
Sorry, ma'am.
Oh, yeah. By the way
What's this?
An Airbnb, Celine? Really?
C'mon. You know you can stay here, right?
Or use one of the condos.
Why do you have to rent?
Where are the kids?
Well, you took forever, so
I threw them a pool party.
Zoe!
Chloe! Let's go, we're going home.
Mommy, I still want to swim!
No. That's enough.
Careful, slowly.
Chloe, we're going home! Are you okay?
You know, you still have
a swimsuit upstairs.
It might still fit you.
Why not swim first?
Chloe, come on. We're going home.
No!
Come on! I'm asking you nicely. Let's go!
Come on. I'll help you shower.
Chloe, let's go!
Once the petition is filed,
the next thing you'll do is
wait!
We've been waiting for you.
Elio, your dad's here.
Sorry, the elevator broke down.
Whatever, Ivan.
- Would I even be surprised?
- Bye, Mom.
Bye. Have fun with your Dad. I love you.
Hi.
Another new gadget?
The kid won't leave his room
or do homework.
Ivan, our son is struggling because of us.
Should you deprive him of his pleasures?
You're right. But
Ivan, come on.
Just give the boy a break!
He already hates you.
Okay, we're home!
Come on. Go inside.
Go.
Mommy, why is your house so small?
It smells weird too.
There's no swimming pool?
Can I see the room?
Mommy, let's go home.
Love, this is your home.
Mommy just cleaned up,
so we don't have much stuff.
But our home is with Dad.
Hello, Mom?
Celine, did you already pick up Chloe?
What time will you bring them here?
We'll stay here for now.
It's closer to Chloe's school.
She has a field trip tomorrow morning.
Field trip? On a Saturday?
Yes, she does.
And Zoe's got swimming lessons tomorrow.
Okay. Kiss my grandchildren for me.
Okay, Mom. Bye.
Girls!
There's cheese rolls. Go eat first.
My God, Stephen!
What are you doing here?
- Daddy!
- That's my girl!
Hey, you're not doing anything
tomorrow, right?
Good!
Because we are going out.
Zoe, go back to bed.
Don't you have swimming lessons
tomorrow morning?
Come on.
You know what, it's okay. You go to bed,
and I'll see you first thing tomorrow.
Good night, Daddy. I love you.
I love you more, baby girl!
All right, go.
Good night!
- Good night!
- Stephen.
Can you please just go?
Please, go.
My God, Celine. Really? This?
This is what I'm paying for!
If you're going to use my money
for my children,
you should have just booked a nice hotel.
You know, instead of renting this place.
I'm not joking with you.
This is my time with the kids.
Why?
Whose money paid for this?
My money.
Right?
Those are my kids.
My business.
See this? All this?
Mine!
All mine.
Sis,
I thought you were going to
bring the kids with you?
Go, shake it up!
Four, five, six, seven, last one.
Good job, ladies!
Go! Double time.
Down.
This, let's go!
One, two, three! You got it!
Five, six.
Celine, my child.
Isn't he handsome?
Who is that?
My crush back in high school.
Just turned widower.
And?
He's making a move.
Mom, are you serious?
Celine, your deadbeat father's
been gone for years.
Maybe I can have a love life now, right?
Joanne!
Coming!
Okay, Mom.
Just make sure he's not a scammer!
Aren't you going to have breakfast?
Mom, there's lots of food at Celine's.
Bye!
Sis, wait!
Hey! What about the kids?
- What happened?
- They're with Stephen!
CAN I BORROW SOME MONEY?
Here's what I took.
Okay.
Wow!
Is that for me? To go?
For Attorney Jackie.
She told me she loves our baked goods.
Is the annulment pushing through?
Yes!
I'm raring to strangle him.
Sis.
Get your rightful share.
It should be more than half.
- Try this.
- The recipe is yours.
And your best-selling cheese roll,
its recipe is also yours.
Here's another one.
Sis?
Here.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Asshole.
What happened to you?
Oh my God!
The attorney's office is
all the way at the top!
I can't do it. I'm tired.
Me too.
I suddenly feel old.
My knees hurt. My back hurts.
Thank you.
Let's go?
Go ahead. I'll rest for a while.
Oh my God, sorry, you made this.
I thought this was to fan myself with.
It's fine. We have lots of those.
That's just a draft.
You're good!
Thanks.
What time is your appointment?
2:00 p.m.
You?
3:00 p.m.
I came early in case
the elevator was acting up again,
and here we are.
This is fine too.
At least I have company.
I don't feel so alone.
Alone, where?
In climbing the stairs, perhaps.
Obviously, with the annulment!
I don't know anyone
who's annulled a marriage. Ever!
Separation, yes.
Ghosting, yes.
Really? Ghosting?
Isn't that just for dating,
not for married couples?
That happened to my cousin.
Her husband left her,
and when she died,
all the property went to the guy.
Including the house!
He even let his mistress live there.
That's unfortunate.
I guess this is better, right?
An equal split for everyone.
Haven't you come to terms
with your annulment yet?
You just need to accept
that when it's over,
it's really over.
Some people
just can't be together anymore.
There's no divorce in the Philippines,
so what else can I do?
Everything can be settled
through proper dialogue.
Maya will get tired of this case.
I know her.
That's so unfair.
If she doesn't love you anymore,
shouldn't you set her free?
Hello! Is anyone there?
Yes, Mr. Guard! We're here!
The elevator has been fixed!
You can use it now!
Thanks, but no thanks!
I'm sorry. Have you been here long?
Not really.
Who booked them together again?
I'm at three. I just arrived early.
I'll see you in a bit.
I'll just freshen up.
What's the matter with her?
Is this mine?
Yes, Attorney.
Thank you.
I'm sorry again for being late.
In 37 minutes,
I have an emergency meeting.
I'll deal with you both together.
Is it okay?
This won't happen again.
Is this it?
Did this go through you?
Yes, Attorney Jackie.
You thought this is okay?
Attorney Jackie,
what's in their affidavits is all there.
This won't do it!
This isn't just about the facts!
No one will read this!
It's more exciting to read
a rice cooker manual.
We need drama! Real drama!
But don't make things up.
How's the traffic on the road?
Can you check?
"She got depressed."
"She got depressed"?
She was lost.
She could not recognize herself anymore.
She could no longer function as a wife,
as a mother, and as a woman,
driving herself into a dark,
downward spiral of depression.
Her husband, Stephen,
has continuously mocked
and ignored her mental state.
It's true, isn't it, Ms. Santos?
Attorney, 24 minutes by car.
Via Kalayaan Avenue.
Okay, I have five minutes.
"He tried to earn a living."
My God!
So corny! No!
He has, on many occasions,
tried to be the best provider
for the family,
to the point of setting aside
his mental health,
dignity, and self-worth,
which his wife, Maya,
has undermined
and belittled for over a decade.
Right, Ivan?
Listen.
You need to make me cry.
I need to feel
feelings!
I have three minutes. Let's go.
I'm sorry. We will fix this.
Again, sorry for rushing this meeting.
Cheese roll.
What just happened, Ivan?
I don't know.
We got tricked again.
- Ma'am! Here's more!
- Don't look!
- Basement, please?
- Sir!
Madam!
Do you have a ride?
Sorry for what I said earlier,
that your wife
had no feelings for you anymore.
That's okay.
What I said to you earlier was wrong too.
I didn't know.
You must have gone through hell
with your husband.
I wonder if Maya felt the same way
about me the whole time.
Well,
I also wonder if Stephen feels that
I took for granted
everything he did for me.
I hope not.
Because I did everything I could
to fix our marriage.
Maya, too.
Do women always have to be
the ones making the effort?
Then we look bad
when we get tired and give up.
That's unfair.
We try too.
Especially for our child.
Excuse me. Sorry!
Ma'am!
Get in!
Do you want this?
Bitter gourd pills
for high blood pressure.
Thank you. I already have that.
Here.
Water spinach juice for
weight loss.
Really? Sure, I want that!
- You need it?
- Yes!
This one's for you.
Moringa tea for arthritis.
Seems like you need it. Let's trade?
C'mon, let's have coffee.
Cheese rolls for peace offering?
No. It's okay.
Wow! Thank you.
What else is good here?
Do you want drinks?
We have Dirty Matcha, Spanish Latte
- Lizzie!
- Celine, where are you?
At the shop, in QC.
Okay.
Why aren't you here at the meeting?
What meeting?
Sorry, I didn't remind you.
I thought you knew.
They're introducing a new CEO.
What?!
Wait. Is Stephen there?
Yeah. He introduced him earlier.
He was avoiding us
in the Marketing Department
because he knew I'd tell.
Now what? Was I removed?
I suppose...
Oh my God.
Can I see the inventory this week?
Ma'am.
Ma'am Celine, I'm sorry.
Sir Stephen said
you won't be handling
the accounts anymore.
That we shouldn't give you anything.
He also told the branches
that you're out of the company.
You won't be allowed to
handle documents, either,
or money.
I only let you in earlier
because Sir Stephen wasn't here.
Besides, you've always been
kind to us, ma'am.
But
if we get caught,
we'll be in trouble.
Sis?
You forgot this.
Sorry. I have nothing to do
with what happened.
Here.
I should've ordered a whole cake for you.
I'm sorry, Celine.
I dreamed of all this, you know?
We loved playing kitchen
when we were kids.
Our parents owned a bakery back then.
I wanted all of this.
I never imagined
everything would end up like this.
What do you mean?
Celine's is folding up?
Everything!
My business.
My family.
Just because I realized I got screwed up,
and that I've had enough?
Didn't we agree we'd start over
after we won the annulment?
Everything I have belongs to Stephen.
It's Stephen's property.
Stephen's work. Stephen's gifts.
He can take all of it back from me.
Even my whole being, he can easily ruin.
That's hard to believe,
that he'd consciously hurt you
or make you suffer.
Maybe there's still
a little love left in the guy for you.
Take my case.
Even though Maya wants to leave me,
I still love her.
I may be upset, but I still love her.
I hope you're right.
But if Stephen is truly angry with me,
he'll make it harder for me.
I know him.
My pep talk isn't working on you, right?
A bit.
Thanks.
Now, the pre-trial!
This isn't the main event yet.
Here, they talk about
division of properties.
The custody and visitation rights
to the children.
And whatever is agreed on,
the annulment goes on.
Unless the case is withdrawn.
Lizzie, this is Attorney Jackie
and Attorney Willie.
- She will be my witness.
- Hello.
- Hello, Attorney.
- Welcome to the team, Lizzie!
Anything for Celine, Attorney.
Ivan!
What are you doing here?
This is not on purpose.
We've got nothing to do with
the scheduling.
Aren't you glad?
We were thrilled
when we received the summons.
How convenient!
Everything in one trip.
And you are?
He's my witness. Marcus, remember?
Yes, at your wedding!
I caught the bouquet. And then...
- I slipped the garter onto you.
- Yes! That was you!
Hi!
Attorney Willie Bautista.
Attorney Jackie's associate.
Attorney Willie,
it's a pleasure to meet you.
Cool.
That's Celine.
- Oh, Celine!
- Hi!
- Marcus. Celine?
- Yes.
- Lizzie, my best friend.
- Hi! I'm Marcus.
Hello!
What a great coincidence for all of us.
Okay, you go first, Celine,
and then Ivan next.
It's good. At least you'll know what's
going to happen in your own hearing.
Just remember,
don't get nervous and keep your
Cool.
Isn't he the lawyer
who's always on TV and the news?
Attorney Lucio Realonda,
lawyer of tycoons and politicians.
Our professor at the State University.
Remedial Law.
He was the first to make
Attorney Jackie cry.
Hi, sir.
This is brave of you, Celine.
Leaving and walking away from the family.
Wasting my time and money.
Mr. Alcaraz,
do you need anything from my client?
Lizzie!
I'll see you at the meeting. Wednesday.
Attorney?
We can do this, right?
It's cool.
Come on, let's go.
There's Maya Castro, your wife.
Can we take a selfie with her?
Look at her lawyer.
She looks like a supermodel.
I remember she was
Miss Philippines Galaxy 2000 something
Don't be fooled.
She's a cum laude graduate.
Placed sixth in the bar exams.
Beauty and brains.
Just a moment.
How can you just throw away
our 14 years of marriage?
Like it never happened?
Believe me, Ivan, it's for the best.
Especially for Elio.
You shouldn't have shown up at all.
You shouldn't have gotten a lawyer
or fought back!
If this case drags on
and our expenses shoot up,
it's on you.
But since you tried to fight this,
what else can I do?
Ivan, please, let's just
go through the process, okay?
Maya, please, listen to me!
Ivan.
Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop.
It's okay.
I TOLD YOU.
CELINE'S HAS ALWAYS
BEEN MY DREAM.
WHAT ARE THE LIGHTS FOR?
IS IT CHRISTMAS?
FINE! I KNOW YOU CAN DRAW WELL!
THAT'S JUST HOW I IMAGINED
CELINE'S TO BE.
ISN'T THAT AI?
OF COURSE NOT!
CHECK MY PIX ACCOUNT.
NICE! WHY DID YOU STOP PAINTING?
I'VE LOST STEAM.
BY MY THIRTIES, I WAS NO LONGER
FRESH AND WUNDERKIND.
DON'T YOU WANT TO START OVER?
MAYBE
IF A NEW INSPIRATION COMES ALONG.
Now, the trial proceedings.
The testimonies in the judicial affidavit.
Stories. Drama.
This is it!
Gird your loins. Guard your heart.
Hydrate!
Because the real battle starts now.
A tougher, longer fight!
In your petition, you claimed that
both of you are
psychologically incapacitated.
In your husband's case,
"psychologically incapacitated"
because you were repeatedly belittled
and diminished by your husband.
Could you please elaborate?
There were incidents like that.
Start from the first incident.
Stephen controlled everything
because he paid for everything.
The business.
My kids.
Even my body.
I lost my personality.
My identity.
My voice.
We need Pepe!
Here we go!
We need Pepe!
No trace of misconduct!
Pepe is upright!
A good public servant!
Pepe of our land!
Come on! Enough!
- It's cringey.
- All right, okay.
- You're gonna make him win.
- Yeah.
- All right!
- For sure.
And who would have ever thought
that the dumbest guy in our class
would make it to Congress?
Actually,
I didn't know he wanted
to run for higher office.
I thought his next move was show business.
What's the difference?
He's so active on his social media,
all for his campaigns.
Yeah.
Hey, but the real question though is,
is he paying you a lot?
Because he should!
- All right.
- Of course!
Okay.
But isn't he corrupt?
Hon.
Well,
I mean,
isn't that what's on the news?
Right?
Cool.
Okay.
Are you done?
Hon, when I tell you to shut up,
you shut up.
Seriously, though.
- Don't play that again.
- I won't.
I'm not allowed to speak up.
I can't just interrupt
their conversations.
I can't drink. I can't eat.
Stephen!
Stephen, help me. Please?
You know what, hon?
Don't even bother.
Our PR agency messaged me.
And?
And, you know,
they're doing a feature on you.
Our new baby.
Our new products.
You know, it's a good thing, but.
I'm gonna need your body
to be ready for it, hon.
Tonight, there's going to be a
lot of people taking photos.
You don't want that.
Excuse me?
Okay, just
They want your photos to look good
when the campaign launches.
Look,
I'm the business and marketing graduate
between the two of us, right?
Okay, so trust me.
And you sit this one out.
Okay? Look, I gotta go.
Okay?
C'mon.
We'll work on it.
Even the clothes I wear,
he chooses whenever I meet his friends.
You felt
that your husband was ashamed of you
because of your weight?
He had issues with how I looked.
He specifically said that?
Yes, Attorney.
Could you please elaborate?
Ouch!
Hon.
C'mon, you really gonna wear
those strappy sandals?
It looks like sausage.
But my shoes don't fit me
anymore, Stephen.
You know, I read that when it's a boy,
women's looks really are
drastically affected.
We're most likely having a boy.
That's probably why
you're bloating so much.
Look, Hon.
Your feet are so swollen.
Even your nose.
It looks bigger.
Hey, c'mon! It's a good thing.
Right? It's a good thing. It's good news.
We're having a boy! Come on!
Plus, you're my wife,
so your plastic surgery is
always free with Mom.
Just to please Stephen,
even when I was pregnant,
I went on a diet.
I did everything.
Dietician. Physical trainer.
Calorie counting.
The works.
Stephen!
I almost lost Zoe.
And I can't imagine my life without her.
I don't understand why
I did those things back then.
But the guilt
of putting my child's life at risk
just to please my husband
Even now, I carry that burden alone.
I carry that burden to this day.
Even after putting my life
and my daughter's life in danger,
Stephen didn't stop.
He still saw flaws in me that need fixing.
So how do you like your new nose, Celine?
I had complications.
I had to do more than one surgery
just to fix things.
I felt like a monster.
I myself started to believe
so much was wrong with me,
and I thought Stephen
was the only one who could fix me.
Because I thought he loved me.
Pastry school in Paris.
How fancy!
Did you pay for this too, Mr. Alcaraz?
Yes.
Everything!
Everything. Meaning what?
Everything, meaning I gave her
everything she wanted,
not just what she needed.
Jewelry.
Shoes.
Bags.
All of it, you can check her posts online.
You'll see she's so happy.
She's absolutely thrilled.
Hashtag, grateful.
Hashtag, blessed.
Hashtag, my husband is the best.
Even that incident she mentioned,
her extreme weight loss
that almost cost her life,
it's all there.
Hashtag, my weight loss journey.
You can check online. All of it is there.
All the proof I need, it's online.
She was proud of the life that
I gave and afforded her.
No further questions, Your Honor.
Counsel?
Permission to cross-examine
the witness, Your Honor?
Proceed.
Sir, there's no question that Celine
is psychologically incapacitated.
She's already been
to a couple of psychiatrists,
and has already been given
anti-depressants and other medications.
Do you confirm these?
Yes, I do, Attorney.
Sir, you were not born yesterday,
and do you agree with me that
not everything that you see
on social media is true?
Well, some are true.
But not everything.
Yes.
Do you believe everything
that she has posted?
Do you believe that they are true?
I do.
Attorney, I should know. I'm her husband.
I'm well aware of everything that she was
benefiting from our marriage.
So could it be that
the reason that you are
opposing the petition
is the allegations which involves
the chain of restaurants,
if I may highlight,
was started and named after my client?
She didn't invest a single cent
in our business.
What?
Her old booth at the bake fair
back in 2014?
Okay. Parchment paper wrappers
with neon stickers as packaging?
Come on.
Come on!
True. But it was Celine's image
that your brand,
that your product, your business,
has been famous.
Right?
But, Attorney, I'll say it again.
She didn't invest a single cent
in the business.
Okay, I even paid for her business
and marketing classes
just so she would learn
how this business worked.
Okay, to propose that
she should get an equal share
in the business
or even any of our properties,
that's unfair!
That's not fair!
Do not get ahead of the court.
It's not up to you
to decide what's fair or not.
It is up to the court.
So you're here.
Attorney Jackie was looking for you
in the bathroom.
I worried about you. Are you okay?
It was exhausting and draining.
I suddenly felt ashamed.
I felt like a gold-digger.
That's not it.
That's not how it came across, Celine.
If anyone's on the losing end here,
it's him.
Because he treated you
like an object, right?
All he ever talks about is money
and material things.
I'm willing to let go of all that.
Just not my business.
It's mine. That's me.
Is it really that hard to let go?
Of Celine's?
Maybe it's like your love for Maya.
I've had it for years.
Loved it.
Nurtured it.
That's why I'll fight for it to the end.
And besides,
that's the only legacy
I can leave my children
that's solely mine.
How about you?
Why can't you let go of Maya and Elio?
Maybe because
They're all I have left.
Hey!
Beer as your chaser?
Hey, Ivan,
shouldn't I be the one getting drunk?
Maybe you want some water?
Or juice?
She won't even let me try to fix things.
One more round.
Hey, stop it!
I'm okay, Celine.
- Make it double.
- Hey!
I'm okay, promise!
I'm okay.
We're friends, right?
- We're friends.
- Okay.
I have no more friends.
Maya took our friends.
You're my best friend.
No, Marcus is my best friend.
You're my second-best friend.
Make this a double shot!
You rank third.
Fourth!
Elio, Maya, Marcus,
and you!
You sure I'm fourth?
I don't know.
Maya hates me.
Elio hates me.
I think you're second again.
You know, it's okay.
It doesn't really matter.
You're my friend because
You know everything I've been through.
Well, Lizzie too.
She also knows
everything I've been through.
You two.
You know my life story.
Perhaps you're right.
Maybe Maya doesn't love me anymore.
Why would she take Elio away
when she knows they're my whole world?
My God!
At least with you,
Maya loved you.
But me?
I don't know if Stephen really loved me.
Stephen.
Hey! There goes the chic Celine!
I ain't truly chic!
That Celine was Stephen's creation.
Didn't you hear what was said earlier?
I'm from the province! Hello.
My God!
I also don't know if I truly loved him.
Perhaps.
I was only happy in the beginning because
You know that feeling
when everything seems new?
Just bring the bottle here, bro!
Let me finish it.
Damn it!
Can't you see we're already drunk?
It must have been my fault.
I allowed him to alter me.
Celine.
No one owns you.
No one owns you.
Just like I don't own Maya or Elio.
They can leave when they want to.
Maya doesn't really love me anymore.
It hurts.
Celine
You're really pretty, you know?
Ivan! My shoes!
Rise and shine!
There's water over there.
There's coconut juice too.
How did you find us?
Mama told me Stephen is a coward.
Listen to yourself.
You sent a voice message.
You told me your whole life story,
so I knew you were in trouble.
Even my mom doesn't like Stephen.
The waiter helped me
get both of you in the car.
And I paid the bill too.
Ivan is such a troublemaker.
I'm up.
I'm taking my job seriously.
But this isn't my duty anymore.
You're both in the middle of a case.
You don't need to be getting into trouble.
Especially you, Ivan!
Do you know what will happen
if Maya finds out you're drinking again?
If we lose this case,
I'll tell Mom to stop
sending you caramel flan.
I'm so sorry, Celine.
I'll bring you home before Ivan.
How will you carry him home?
He's so heavy.
I'll drag him
and then leave him outside his house.
Don't leave me, Celine.
Okay.
Attorney, let me do that.
Thank you, Celine.
No worries.
Ivan is so heavy.
You can't carry him alone.
It'd be sad if you just left him outside.
He's alone,
though he has a stay-out helper
who tends to him.
His parents died during the pandemic.
He got all the more depressed.
Ivan has a problem.
He's an alcoholic.
Come on, help me.
He's really a good man,
but fate's been cruel to him.
He's really got a big heart,
but he's always left heartbroken.
Okay.
Let's go!
I'll stay here for a while, Attorney.
You go ahead.
Best friend number four duties.
Listen, Celine.
This won't look right.
You're in the middle of an annulment.
I know you're getting close,
and that's great.
But be discreet.
Stephen's or Maya's camp might react
No, Attorney! No!
We're just friends.
It's so obvious that Ivan
hasn't moved on from Maya.
And with all my problems,
would I still be
in a romantic relationship?
Okay.
You're both adults.
You know what you're doing.
I hope.
Celine.
Celine.
Hey, Celine.
Hey! Whoa!
What time is it?
It's 6:45 in the morning.
Okay.
Okay.
Are you okay now?
Yes. Thank you.
Of course.
Didn't you say we'd stick it out together?
Ivan.
Can we promise each other something?
Promise what?
Let's work together to win the case.
Let's listen to Attorney Jackie.
Last night was fun.
But no more drinking, okay?
We need to clean up.
You should help me too.
Help me
Maybe help me not to kill Stephen.
Okay.
Okay, number four.
Really?
I stayed with you the whole night!
Marcus is my witness in the case.
So he's still number three.
And I cleaned you up!
Marcus is the one who pays my salary.
I give up then.
Thank you again.
You smell!
Take a shower. You smell like vomit.
Joanne, what's wrong?
What happened?
I was fired.
What?
For a nepotism hire.
Didn't you say that you were
a culinary arts graduate?
It's Stephen!
He did this!
Sis, don't.
Stephen went to the shop the other day.
I thought we were okay when he saw me,
but then he dragged me into this.
Take this back.
This is yours!
You worked hard for it.
And my nieces!
Make sure he doesn't get custody!
That won't happen.
Attorney Jackie said
if the child is under seven years old
and there's no compelling reason not to,
custody is granted to the mother.
Good!
Maya,
please expound your experience stated
in paragraph 4 of your judicial affidavit?
At first,
it was two to three bottles
of beer a night.
I figured it was okay because,
you know,
he's an artist.
He was already like this
when we were in college.
But I thought that as soon as
we had Elio, graduated,
got married, that, you know,
things would change and he'd stop.
But that wasn't the case.
Beer
became hard liquor.
Vodka.
Tequila. Rum.
Gin.
When work was slowing down
The drinking got worse.
Drinking turns him into
a completely different person.
And our son Elio, he sees that.
Elio experienced the worst
of his drinking problems.
Three stitches.
A concussion.
I mean, strangers had to bring
my son to the hospital.
He was that drunk.
He was that irresponsible.
Anyway, I told myself I can't
keep living with someone like that.
He put my child's life in danger.
Is that how a father should be?
I have the right to be
tired.
I'm
I'm angry.
And I should be able to walk away
from that type of relationship.
To take my son
away from that kind of environment.
I may have to.
Well, now you know.
Alcoholic,
violent,
and a neglectful parent.
Me too.
Gold-digger.
Materialistic.
And left the kids with my husband.
As the young ones would say,
we listen, and we don't judge.
I still feel like shit!
Maybe we're the real villains, huh?
It's Maya who should really
be Elio's guardian.
I'm contesting that
not only because I love my child,
but so Maya can see that I'm a good dad.
You know, with Stephen,
even though he's self-centered,
a misogynist,
narcissistic,
vain, spoiled, and an asshole,
I know he loves our children very much.
No matter how much I hate him,
I know that.
So I think Maya also knows
how much you love Elio.
Thank you, number four!
All right.
- Jenny!
- Ma'am!
Are the kids ready? How about their stuff?
They left with Sir Stephen.
I prepared their things,
knowing you'd pick them up.
Where did they go?
When are they coming back?
I don't know. They might be home late.
Hi, Chloe!
Don't tell Daddy it's me, okay?
Where are you?
Jenny, please get the kids' stuff.
So where are you?
Zoe, Chloe!
Mommy!
Hi!
Hi, love!
Are you done eating?
Yes, Mommy.
Daddy took us shopping!
Oh wow! For toys?
No. For bags, Mommy.
Okay.
Wash your hands now if you're done.
Go with your sister.
- We're leaving now.
- Let's go, Zoe!
Oh yeah, that's right!
You're supposed to take them
with you to the hotel.
I'm sorry. I forgot.
- What do you think you're doing?
- What?
What will the kids do with designer bags?
Don't make them materialistic
like you, Stephen.
And also, you're a scumbag, aren't you?
You had to drag my sibling into our mess.
Well, look at you.
Miss Independent Woman
who still wants to be part of my company.
C'mon. Give me a break, Celine.
Look, you help your family, okay?
Because I'm not going to.
And if I want to spoil my kids,
I will.
Because that's the life
that I can give them.
If you want to go back to the province
where people sing karaoke
until two in the morning,
then, please,
by all means, go right ahead.
Let's see where my children
will be happier.
Sis, what is that?
I want to watch YouTube.
Not now, Zoe.
All right, fine!
Good day!
For valet, ma'am?
Thank you.
Okay, we're here!
I'll take care of your things.
Say hi to Grandma.
Go down.
- Grandma!
- Grandma!
My grandkids!
Have you had any snacks yet?
There's food inside.
We just ate, Grandma.
Chloe! Zoe!
Come here!
Go!
Ma!
Why did you drop by?
We're going to be staying here for now.
- Why?
- Ask their stupid dad!
I'll teach you a dance, okay?
You follow me first.
So
Heartbeat, heartbeat, heartbeat.
No, no, heartbeat, no, no!
And then you turn around.
- Grandma, join us!
- Yes, baby!
When your heart beats.
Ready!
Five, six, seven, eight!
When the heart beats.
More!
It's been a while
since you slept beside me.
I remember
you and Joanne always slept side by side.
We were cramped in bed.
You always fell off.
Because you and Dad always fought,
and you'd seek refuge in our room.
I'd wake up to your sobs.
I didn't know how to react,
so I'd just pretend to be asleep.
I was just in the third grade back then.
And, Mom,
even after Papa was gone,
I could sense that you remained troubled.
Of course.
Thank you.
It wasn't your job to help me back then.
Thank God that you were kind.
Not once did you and Joanne
ever give me any trouble.
I'd like to think that
even if we were struggling,
I raised you both well.
Celine.
I know I couldn't give you
a luxurious life.
And I know
that was one of the reasons
you fell for Stephen.
Sorry, my child.
After your annulment with Stephen,
I hope this life will be enough
for you and your daughters.
Even if Stephen takes away
everything from you,
I hope
you still remain whole.
Mama
You really took after me.
This
is from me.
This?
Also mine.
Your ears are your father's.
And this,
I don't recognize.
From whom did you get that?
- I love you, Mama.
- I love you.
May you please state
why you are opposing the petition?
I love my son very much.
And if I need to stay married to Maya
to be with my child,
I will do everything I need to do.
Is there anything in the petition
that you would want to refute?
Nothing.
Everything Maya said was right.
No further questions, Your Honor.
Permission to cross-examine
the respondent, Your Honor?
Proceed.
Ivan.
If you're saying that
everything in Maya's petition is correct,
then you admit that you were an alcoholic?
Yes.
But after Maya and I separated,
I've been trying to get sober.
And that you were
an irresponsible father and husband.
Yes.
But I am trying my best
to be a good father to Elio.
"Trying."
You've used that word twice.
I know I've made many mistakes in life.
That's why I'm asking for a second chance
to prove to my family
that I've changed.
I admit,
I am at my lowest point.
But like I said,
I am trying.
But you have been
at this lowest point
for so many years now.
How long do you plan to stay there?
What kind of question is that?
It doesn't seem right for you
to think of me that way.
I'm sorry, but
But it's hard for me to just accept
my wife's decision for us to separate.
Yes, there were bad times.
But there were good times too.
Right?
It's already hard for me to accept
that I'm a failure, Maya.
But why still step on someone
who's already down?
Shouldn't your family and spouse be
the first people to understand?
Shouldn't you be
the one helping your spouse rise up,
not abandoning him?
Because, Your Honor,
we both took the same vow.
Back when she was just starting out,
and I was doing well,
I was there to boost her confidence.
To support her.
Day by day.
Now that I'm the one
going through rough times,
why am I the one being dropped?
So, Elio,
it's been three years
since your parents separated?
Yes.
And how's that been
with your parents separated?
They're okay.
I'm with Mom.
Sometimes, I'm with Dad.
Are you happy with your Mom?
Yeah.
How about your Dad?
It's okay.
"It's okay."
You said that you're happy with your Mom,
and it's just "okay" with your Dad.
Does this mean you're happier
when you're with your Mom?
Objection, Your Honor.
The line of questioning
of the counsel here is misleading.
Attorney, I'm just trying to
establish a point here
regarding the well-being of our witness.
No.
The witness here said okay.
Meaning enough, just right, affirmative.
There's no point of comparison
with the word okay being inferior
to what the witness said,
which was, "Yeah,"
in response to your question,
which I quote,
"And you're happier with your mom?"
"Yeah" and "okay" are the same.
The witness never said he is happier in
the company of his mother than his father.
- Your Honor?
- Sustained!
Your Honor, it's important that
we establish the state of mind
of the child
whenever he's with his parents.
Attorney, please don't use semantics
to confuse the court.
Please don't make it appear
that the witness here
is trying to say that he is happier
with one parent.
My interpretation
should not matter here, Attorney.
I am taking into consideration
the demeanor of the child.
Besides, is it wrong for the child to say
that he's happier with one parent
than the other?
Your Honor, the counsel here is trying
to play with the child's emotions.
I am not!
Order in the court!
What's happening?
I don't
I'm not happy!
Elio.
I'm sorry.
I just don't get what they're saying.
My parents are okay.
I don't know.
I don't love or hate anyone
more than the other.
Right now, I hate them both equally
for being here!
I don't want to say the wrong things.
I don't know if Mom or my dad is better.
I just I don't know!
I just want us to be okay and happy again.
Please.
Just this once.
Are you guys still okay?
It's exhausting, isn't it?
I really tried
that ginkgo biloba root tea,
and my memory improved!
And my hair became thicker.
It'll be good for you.
- Me?
- Yes!
Ivan!
Celine!
- Hello.
- Hello.
Ma'am! I have a product
that can make you taller...
Janice! Take care of
the raffle prizes now.
Hi! My favorite annulment clients.
Merry Christmas!
- Merry Christmas!
- Merry Christmas!
Have you been here long?
Sorry, I have to greet other guests.
No, it's okay.
You don't have to worry about us.
Oh no,
I am worried.
We're doing nothing wrong.
Sure, sure.
Celine, there's French wine at the bar.
For you. Not for you, Ivan.
- You can have some jelly drinks.
- Okay.
I'll see you in a bit.
See you.
Merry Christmas!
- Merry Christmas!
- Merry Christmas!
Thank you.
Take it easy.
You might get drunk.
Really, with jelly drinks?
This party sucks.
Janice was trying to sell me
hair thickener.
Why didn't you buy it?
Sure.
Then I'll get you some height boosters.
- No, thanks.
- Hello!
Merry Christmas
to our favorite annulment clients.
Merry Christmas!
Why can't we simply be
your favorite clients?
How many annulment clients do you have?
Actually, just you two.
Our favorite is
Excuse me.
Hey, who?
You know, I feel
I'm Attorney Jackie's favorite.
Aren't we both?
No!
Does she send you gifts?
Like a box of grapes.
Really?
She sends you grapes?
- Yes!
- It's raffle time!
Ma'am, take these!
Janice, perfect!
Raffle those off!
- Raffle them off now!
- I'll get back to you.
Sure!
- It's time.
- Game?
Raffle time!
Have you been to the rooftop?
I spoke with the kids earlier.
Zoe showed me the snowman she made.
How are Maya and Elio?
Maya sent a picture.
They're in Japan right now
with her parents.
On New Year's, Elio will be with me.
Stephen may be reasonable sometimes.
He said the kids will stay with me
the whole summer.
Nice!
It's a good thing
I'm staying with Mom and Joanne now.
Me?
I've been alone, but that's fine with me
because
I get to read some books.
To be honest, not a good idea.
I even read self-help books.
I also read Maya's romance pocket books.
She may be classy, but
she bought lots of books.
Tagalog love stories.
It's obvious you still love her.
What?
C'mon, let's get back to Attorney Jackie.
All right.
We might get locked out.
Oh my God!
- No!
- Oh, shit.
No!
- Does it work?
- No!
Can you check your phone, please?
Any signal?
None!
Oh my God! Me neither!
Wi-Fi?
I don't have Wi-Fi.
I took the Wi-Fi protection
Janice gave me.
Come on! I'm not playing with you!
I have no Wi-Fi!
I only connect to Jackie's. It's so weak!
Didn't you see that router?
It had tape on it...
Don't yell at me! Please!
I'm sorry.
I can't...
Do you have claustrophobia too?
No.
Okay.
Yes.
Yes?
Yes.
Severe.
Okay.
Breathe.
Stay calm.
It's okay.
At least we're together.
Don't use up all the oxygen in here.
Try this.
If you suffocate first,
I'll step on you
to reach that small exit over there.
- Let's go.
- Get in.
- What time is it?
- You're so lucky!
Space, please.
Wait, we won't fit anymore.
The elevator is packed,
and it's broken, right?
Bye!
Thanks for coming! Merry Christmas!
I'll check at home.
What's in it?
- Sure?
- Yes.
Next year, I will get it.
Sure.
- Who needs a ride?
- Me!
Just you?
- Me too!
- Bye!
Celine.
Pressing harder won't speed that up.
Celine!
I'm sorry.
Perhaps
I drank too much.
I'm drunk.
You didn't drink all night, Ivan.
You know, it's fine.
I just can't do it
while we're still married.
Of course.
Let's see this through till the end.
We'll wait.
We'll wait.
After the hearings, testimonies,
and thousands of pages of documents,
we wait!
I hate this building!
A year later,
and the elevator is still broken!
At least
you learned to wear rubber shoes.
Pressing it harder won't fix that.
Attorney Jackie got stuck again.
She'll be furious all day.
Attorney!
Water.
Thank you.
Attorney, I have a product for itchy skin.
Do you want some?
Is there any?
It's a rash.
It's hot in the elevator.
Good news or bad news first?
Good. No, wait.
Bad news.
I saw your husband Stephen and his camp
file a motion for reconsideration.
What we can do is organize a mediation
with Stephen and Attorney Realonda.
Wait.
Before I ask anything else,
what's the good news?
The court has ruled in your favor.
Congratulations!
Should I be happy?
What is a motion for reconsideration?
When you receive a decision
or resolution about your case,
whether in your favor or not,
both parties can submit
a motion for reconsideration
to the very court that issued
the decision or resolution.
Because the judge might realize
there was an error in his decision
or resolution
and reverse it.
So will the case take longer?
What we can do is to negotiate.
It depends on how much
he's willing to give,
how much you're willing to take
when it comes to your conjugal properties.
And same with you, Ivan.
You can also file the same thing
when it comes to Elio's custody
if the court rules in Maya's favor.
Stephen won't just let me go easily, huh?
It's okay.
Didn't we say we'd wait?
If Maya wins,
will you file
a motion for reconsideration?
I'll do everything I can
to get custody of Elio.
Even if I have to wait.
My son means everything to me.
How about your business?
Zoe and Chloe?
Maya, are you okay?
It's Elio.
I came late to his game.
They lost, and he's just really upset.
Elio, come on.
Get down!
Get your bag.
Come on.
Get it.
Hey, Elio!
Elio?
Ivan, it's okay.
You're going too far!
You're becoming a bully!
I know you hate our situation,
but we're trying
for your sake!
Your mom's distressed because of me,
and you're making it even worse!
- Ivan, it's no big deal.
- It is!
Don't ever disrespect your mom.
Do that again, and you'll get it from me.
Understood?
Pick those up.
Now!
It's okay.
Maya, don't.
Let me do it, Mom.
Behave with your dad, okay? I love you.
I'll call you later.
Elio.
Hey.
Take a shower.
There's pizza inside.
Don't worry. We'll be fine.
Thank you.
Here's your juice.
I'm sorry, Dad.
That's okay.
Just don't treat your mom that way
ever again, Elio.
Go ahead and eat.
Mommy and I are leaving.
She'll work in Singapore.
That's
That's great news.
Do you know what your mom
went through to get that job?
That has been her dream
for a long time, son.
How about you?
We'll figure it out.
I'll be okay.
I'll be okay.
Don't run.
Hey, wait for Mommy.
Thanks for coming.
Careful!
- Let's go.
- Okay.
Slowly.
- See you around.
- Okay.
- Hi! Come in!
- Hello.
For Elio.
Thank you.
Celine, right?
Yes.
I interviewed your husband
when he was opening his other restaurant.
A little bit of an elitist snob,
to be honest.
I get why you're looking
for an annulment too.
Come in.
You're always at our hearings with Ivan.
I figured you're just getting
some tips from me, right?
Yes.
Actually, we have the same lawyer,
Attorney Jackie.
Good. I mean...
I thought it was something else at first.
We're friends.
Don't worry.
He told me
you and Elio are his best friends
number one and two.
And who's number three?
There!
That's Marcus.
Formerly number one.
He got jealous when I became number one.
Anyway, please just make yourself at home.
I'll check on the other guests.
Sure.
Come on, Zoe, let's play.
All right, go back there now.
Have a bite.
Thank you.
Maya was nice.
You two have talked already?
Didn't I ask you to introduce
me and Lizzie,
so we could have a photo with her?
Excuse me, everyone! Hi!
Thank you all for coming today and making
it out here for a special, special day
I think she thinks we're together.
What did you say?
I said we're friends.
It's true, isn't it?
You guys ready to sing?
Yes!
Ivan! Let's sing.
Excuse me.
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday Happy birthday.
Happy birthday to you!
Make a wish.
- Yeah!
- Hurray!
Come on.
Go straight to the car.
Thanks for coming!
I hope the kids had fun.
Of course. You can see
they're completely exhausted.
Sorry I couldn't get back to you.
There were so many guests.
That's okay.
Ivan, my meeting is on Friday.
Promise, I'll be there.
Didn't we agree to see this through
till the end?
Thank you for coming.
It was nice seeing you.
Okay, bye!
See you.
Slowly.
Cheers?
Just this time.
It's our baby's birthday.
Thank you.
You know,
I was always scared
that he'd drink earlier, like we did.
I know, right? Kids are so weird nowadays.
I mean, who would've thought teenagers
would want a children's party?
He's a good kid.
Yeah.
He's back to being nice and sweet again
since you scolded him last month.
Ivan
Okay.
I'll stop.
Ivan.
What?
Anyway, Celine,
let's maximize this conference
until they withdraw their MR.
And if we have the chance
to close this today,
let's close this today.
Anyway, I know your bottom line.
And I have an idea what is theirs.
We will do our best, okay?
Celine?
Okay?
Let's go?
Ivan!
Celine!
Ivan made it.
I'm so glad you're here.
I'm nervous how this will turn out.
You'll be fine.
I trust Attorney Jackie.
- Celine, I have something to tell you.
- Celine?
Sorry, we're starting.
Let's get this over with.
Attorney, let's make this quick
and get straight to the point, shall we?
Okay.
This has dragged on too long already.
There is no way that my client
is going to agree
to a 50/50 split,
a 60/40 split,
or even an 80/20 split.
That's just not going to happen.
We will pursue our motion
for reconsideration.
You know, Celine,
this is getting ridiculous.
Look,
you know it was my money
that funded everything.
Stephen, let me handle this.
Come on.
Can you really, in good conscience,
leave everything
and everyone just like that?
Celine.
You're my wife.
Not anymore.
You can have your jewelry,
your stilettos, your bags.
You can wear them if you want.
You can have Celine's.
You're right. They're yours.
But I'm not.
Not anymore.
And you just have to let me go.
My client only asks for child support.
If there's one redeeming quality
about you, Stephen,
it's that I know you love our children.
Thank you.
Just
let me know when you're taking the girls.
If you'd like,
you can take the city condo.
No, thank you. We'll be fine without it.
Ivan!
It's over.
I'm free!
Celine.
Maya talked to me last night.
- She wants our family back.
- I want our family back.
The annulment is a mistake.
I think I still love you.
Maya, aren't you leaving?
You're about to get your dream job.
Elio needs you.
He doesn't want to leave you.
I've given you so many chances
to fix our marriage.
I think I deserve my chance this time.
It's over?
Yes, it's over.
After all is done
and everyone's satisfied with the terms,
the final decision has been given,
no more motion for reconsideration,
our job is done.
You can finally change
your Facebook status to
"single."
Minister,
you've mentioned how economic anxiety
drove American voters to Trump twice now.
Singaporeans have similar issues
with housing and cost,
but there's no
anti-establishment backlash here.
Why do you think that is?
I think Singaporeans recognize
we delivered results consistently.
They're not easily swayed
by populist rhetoric like other countries.
Our people are smart enough to know that
changing systems
for the sake of change would be
Ivan!
risky and potentially destructive
to what we've built.
You are essentially arguing that
Singaporeans are happy with
Celine!
How are you?
Fine.
I was craving some Celine's.
We don't have that in Singapore.
Now, it's Chloe and Zoe's.
Bro, meet my girlfriend Anne.
Nice to meet you. Thanks for coming.
Everyone, the bride is coming!
Let's get ready.
- Ready?
- Excuse me. Let's get in place.
Everyone, be ready! We're about to start.
- Jackie.
- Willie.
Receive this ring as a sign
of my love and fidelity.
In the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Now, let us humbly invoke
God's blessing upon this bride and groom,
that in His kindness He may favor
with His help
those on whom He has bestowed
the sacrament of matrimony.
In the sight of God and these witnesses,
I now pronounce you husband and wife.
You may now kiss the bride.
