The Alibi (2025) s01e07 Episode Script

[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
For our first episode,
we start with the death
of Walter Cunanan.
We will uncover every detail
and make sure the culprit
faces the consequences.
You guys started
having conflicts,
that's why you had
to kill Walter!
You better keep
your mouth shut, Stella,
if you don't want
to end up like Walter!
Are you threatening me?!
Yes, I am!
Bingo.
That's from
a woman's accessory.
It was found
at Cunanan's villa.
All the evidence we have
right now points to Stella
possibly being involved
in Walter's death.
I trusted you.
I thought we were
on the same side.
Let go of me!
Did you kill Walter?
[SOFT, TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
You still have time
to tell me the truth.
Why don't you want to tell me
your connection with Walter?
If you have nothing to hide,
you'll tell me
who you met at the resort.
I told you,
you don't know him!
Then tell me!
Is he tall? Fair-skinned? What?!
So I can verify
who you actually went to meet!
Vincent!
Just tell me who you met
at the resort.
Why are you keeping it from me?
[CRIES SOFTLY, SNIFFLES]
Look at this.
Explain this to me.
Explain this to me.
Look at it!
- [SOFT, TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
- [SNIFFLES]
The police found both of these
at Walter's villa.
[SOFT, TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
Answer me!
Will you tell me
what really happened
or should I tell the police
what I know?
You can explain
yourself to them.
Is that what you want, huh?
Should I tell them?
- Yes! Okay? Yes!
- [MUSIC SWELLS, SUBSIDES]
[CRIES] I went to see Walter
the night he died!
I was there at the villa!
[MOROSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[CRYING]
I kept it from you
because I was scared.
If the police find out
about my connection with Walter,
they'll easily pin the blame
on me.
- Vincent, I can't go to jail.
- That's why
That's why you just let
everyone blame me?!
So you just used me, huh?!
You used me as your alibi!
No! No!
When you made me your alibi,
I didn't even know that
Walter was the victim.
But when I found out,
I just went along with it
because I had no choice!
So why did you go
to see Walter?!
Why did you visit him?!
Because he knew
where my sister was!
[MOROSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
[CRIES] He knew where Joy was.
[MOROSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
[STELLA CRYING]
Wait, so you actually
knew each other?
He wasn't just
some random customer.
When I was in jail,
he took my sister.
When I got out,
I looked for him
to ask where he took her.
But he said he'd tell me
for a price.
When I was ready to pay,
he just raised the price.
He fooled me, Vincent.
[MUSIC BECOMES UNSETTLING]
Why didn't you tell me
all of this?
Because I was hoping
your investigation about Walter
would lead me to my sister.
That's it.
I didn't kill Walter.
Believe me, Vincent.
I'm not the killer.
I didn't kill him.
[SOBBING]
[SNIFFLES]
[ANDRES] Vincent? Stella?
[UNSETTLING MUSIC CONTINUES]
Is anyone hurt?
[UNSETTLING MUSIC CONTINUES]
Stella's just in shock.
Give us a little more time.
We'll wait outside.
[UNSETTLING MUSIC CONTINUES]
[SOBBING CONTINUES]
[UNSETTLING MUSIC INTENSIFYING]
[OBJECT CLATTERS]
[CLAUDIA GRUNTING ANGRILY]
- Where the hell is he?!
- [TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
He should've been here by now!
What if he got caught?
What do we do?!
Can you stop panicking?
Stop overthinking.
Just relax.
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
[CLAUDIA] My god!
What took you so long?!
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
Get out!
See?
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
[STELLA] Only my phone
got stolen.
[JOSEPH]
Why would they take that?
It's just a cheap phone
with a broken screen.
- Get them something to drink.
- Okay, Stella.
Did your phone have
anything important in it?
There's nothing important
they can get from me.
Or from my phone.
Nothing else was stolen?
When the commotion started,
the thief ran off.
Maybe he realized there was
nothing valuable to take.
[SOFT, TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
Your brother said he didn't
recognize the thief.
- Did you?
- Me neither.
Everything happened so fast.
What's important is that
my siblings and I are safe.
Thanks to Vincent.
So, are we good?
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
[MUSIC FADES]
[CLAUDIA] Only Matthew and
Walter stole from the company!
[STELLA] You know that and
you covered for them until now!
[CLAUDIA] Yes!
You better shut
you better keep
your mouth shut, Stella!
If you don't want
to end up like Walter!
- Are you threatening me?!
- Yes!
Are you really going
to turn me in?
I'm sorry!
I got too emotional!
You can't be
this reckless, Claudia!
I'm not being reckless!
Stella's just being a snitch!
We are not playing chess
by the rules here!
Next time you go
near Vincent and Stella,
be careful.
Vincent is already doing
his own investigation.
We're basically dead meat!
I'll handle it.
Maybe I can dig up
more dirt on Stella.
Go!
[STIRRING MUSIC PLAYING]
[BEEPS]
Vincent!
Vincent, where are you going?
What are you going to do?
I know you've learned a lot
about me,
but I'm not a bad person.
I hope you believe me.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
Come with me.
You still have a lot to explain.
Didn't you notice him earlier?
Vincent was quiet, not a word.
Yeah.
Strange.
Maybe he's just tense.
He used to be defensive
about Stella.
Earlier he just let her
answer our questions.
Maybe the information
we gave him got to him.
About Stella's possible link
to Walter Cunanan's case.
Maybe he's suspicious too.
[PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]
Wait, wait
what is that on your face?
It's nothing, Mom.
Don't worry about it.
What do you mean nothing?
Is that a bruise?
How did that happen?
Will you tell me
what really happened to you,
or do I have to investigate?
Mom, I just helped a friend.
Someone broke into their house.
A friend? Which friend?
Katherine, Mom.
My coworker from Fides Hotel.
I drove her home.
There was an intruder
at her place.
Luckily Vincent was there.
Wait.
Why was Vincent there?
Because
Katherine is Stella's sister?
[SIGHS]
Don't tell me you're copying
your brother.
Are you involved with
those siblings too?
This has to stop, Edward!
Mom, Katherine
is just my friend.
There's nothing wrong
with helping her.
No.
Stay away from her.
I'm sure she's no different
from her sister.
Look at what happened to you!
- Mom
- I'm serious, Edward!
[MOROSE MUSIC PLAYING]
Vincent, wait.
It hurts!
Sit down.
[DARK MUSIC PLAYING]
How did you get a copy of this?
I'm the one asking
the questions.
I had no idea
the key to Walter's death
was sitting next to me.
[DARK MUSIC CONTINUES]
This is your chance to tell
everything you know.
[DARK MUSIC CONTINUES]
All of this was seen
at the crime scene.
And it all connects to you.
You told me Walter
had something to do
with your sibling's
disappearance.
How did that happen?
[PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]
[EXHALES SOFTLY]
Walter Cunanan is my ex.
[PENSIVE MUSIC CONTINUES]
I met him at a bar.
[PENSIVE MUSIC CONTINUES]
He was my customer.
Until it turned into
a relationship.
But he just played me
because I'm sure he's the one
who planted the drugs in my bag,
that's why I got arrested.
And after that
he took my sister.
And how would you even
know that if you were in jail?
When I got out, I went
straight to Auntie Linda.
Auntie Linda, where's my sister?
What are you doing
here again, Stella?
I won't stop coming here until
you tell me where my sister is!
You're so annoying.
I told you, she's gone!
I don't know. Someone
took her from this house.
Gone? Your neighbors said
you gave her to some guy
in exchange for money.
My sister's not missing,
you sold her!
We'll stop bothering you
only if you tell us
where Stella's sister is!
What part of "I don't know"
don't you understand?!
What do you mean
you don't know?!
Don't lie to me! Where's
my sister? Where's Joy?!
Oh, really?
You think your sister's
even worth anything?
Your mom left you.
You're all worthless!
Oh, really? Worthless, huh?!
I've been holding it in
for too long.
You want me to forget
we're even related?!
- [BUBBLES] Stella, calm down!
- Let go of me.
[GLASS BOTTLE SHATTERS]
Well? Are you going to
tell me where my sister is,
or do we all have
a family reunion in hell?!
I just got out of prison,
Auntie Linda.
You don't know the kind
of people I met there.
Soulless people.
And you have no idea
who my connections are.
[BUBBLES]Stella, calm down.
Stop it, Stella!
Think about your siblings!
[BUBBLES] Let's go!
[GLASS SHARD CLATTERS]
We're not done yet.
Stella wouldn't leave me alone.
She kept showing up,
threatening me.
You know she came from prison.
Who knows what she might do if
I don't tell her where Joy is?
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
And you actually believed her?
Of course she won't hurt you.
You're just wasting my time.
- Walter, wait!
- What?
That hassle you caused me,
add that to your payment.
Fine. I'll send it.
Just make sure
you don't say anything.
- [STELLA] 100,000 pesos?
- [WALTER] Mm-hmm.
Give me that money if you want
to know where your sister is.
You're so evil!
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
- Where's my sister?!
- What will you do?
- Where is she?!
- Do it.
You're going to kill me?
[BREATHES DEEPLY]
You're just burying
any chance of ever finding her.
- Kill me.
- [SOBS]
[BREATHING SHARPLY]
[KNIFE THUDS]
[SNIFFLES] Walter,
I just got out of prison!
Where the hell am I going
to get that much money?!
You heartless bastard!
[WALTER] I don't care!
Is that my problem?
What if I report you
to the police?
Fine. Come on. [CHUCKLES]
Do it.
It's the world against mine.
And do you honestly think
they'll believe a
hooker and an ex-convict?
Fuck you!
[SPITS, SLAPS]
You're heartless!
You're heartless!
You're a monster!
Make sure you bring me my sister
once I give you what you want!
You might have forgotten.
I spent six years in prison.
You don't know
who you're dealing with.
And you don't know
what I can do for my sister.
You bastard!
Enough with your nonsense!
Get out of here!
You bastard! You're heartless!
[WALTER] Come on, just leave!
[STELLA CRIES]
Let go of me! Don't touch me!
You bastard! You're a monster!
Don't ever come back
until you bring what I want!
- [STELLA BREATHING SHARPLY]
- [DOOR SLAMS SHUT]
[STELLA] And that's the reason
I went to the resort.
I came to pay him.
But he didn't honor our deal.
Instead of telling me
where my sister is,
he demanded even more money.
- [THUNDER RUMBLING]
- [WALTER SCOFFS, CHUCKLING]
Must be my lucky night.
I now have the money
we agreed on.
[WALTER CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
One hundred thousand pesos.
[LOUD THUD]
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[CHUCKLING]
What's so funny?
Uh, I just never expected you
to come up with the money.
Walter, just stop it.
Come on. Don't you miss me?
I mean, we had
good times together, right?
Didn't you even say
you loved me?
And to this day,
I still regret it!
Where's my sister, huh?!
Where's Joy?!
[THUDS]
That's not enough.
I changed my mind.
What do you mean?
I want half a million now.
He wanted
half a million, Vincent!
Where would I get
that much money?
He also tried to
take advantage of me that night.
There's no way I'd let
that happen, so I fought back.
Is that why you killed him?
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC ESCALATES,
FADES OUT]
- [PHONE BEEPS]
- [LINE RINGS]
Send to the police the CCTV
footage of Stella at the resort.
[UNSETTLING MUSIC PLAYING]
I said I didn't kill him!
It wasn't me!
[SNIFFLES]
But I'll admit I fought back.
We had a scuffle.
That's probably how
my dress got ripped.
- [GRUNTS]
- [GROANS]
- Come here!
- [STELLA SCREAMS, CRIES]
I hit him in the head
so I could get away.
- [GRUNTS]
- [GROANS]
[THUDS]
He chased me after that,
so I know I didn't kill him.
He was alive when I left.
- [STELLA PANTING]- You bitch!
- [GRUNTS]
- [GROANS]
[UNSETTLING MUSIC CONTINUES]
[WALTER] Stella!
Then I saw you on the beach.
[STELLA SCREAMS]
[STELLA] Damn it!
I can't find it
when I need it the most!
[STELLA]You've got to be kidding me!
[UNSETTLING MUSIC SWELLS]
Why didn't you say that
to the police?
That information
could help solve the case!
And then, what?!
They'll suspect me even more!
And who would believe me?
What Walter said was true.
Who would ever believe
someone like me?
They would've thought
I was making things up.
I was put in jail for a crime
I didn't commit before.
Do you think I still
believe in the law?!
[SNIFFLES]
It's been sent
to the police already.
The CCTV footage of Stella
at the resort? [CHUCKLES]
For everyone's sake,
Vincent can't go to jail.
[GLASSES CLINK]
It's Stella that should
go down for this.
And I've got something
juicier to pin on her.
Ooh, now that deserves
a drink.
- Cheers.
- [CHUCKLES]
- Cheers.
- [GLASSES CLINK]
[SINISTER MUSIC PLAYING]
[STELLA CRIES] Vincent, please.
Please believe that
I'm telling you the truth.
Forgive me for
lying to you before.
[STELLA] I'm telling you
the truth now.
I don't want to go to jail.
I've got young siblings
to take care of.
Please believe me.
I'm telling you the truth.
[CELLPHONE RINGS]
[WHISPERS] Vincent, please
Sir Andres.
Are you with Ms. Morales?
I was hoping to reach her,
but we don't have her number.
We need to talk to her.
Yes, I'm with her.
[VINCENT] What is it about?
It would be better if
we could talk in person.
Can we meet at the station?
Uh, hello, Mr. Cabrera?
Okay.
I'll bring her
to the station myself.
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
[HANDBRAKE CRANKS]
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
[ANDRES] This is proof that you
were at the resort that night.
It's timestamped at 12:30AM,
which contradicts
your initial statement
that you were in the club
with Mr. Vincent Cabrera.
[NORMAN] Why did you lie,
Ms. Morales?
What were you doing
in the resort?
[ANDRES] The more
important question is
did you have anything to do
with Walter Cunanan's death?
Ms. Morales, Mr. Cabrera,
I think it's time
you told us the truth.
That night
I was lost.
[DOOR OPENS]
- [ANDRES GRUNTS SOFTLY]
- [DOOR CLOSES]
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
My clients are done here.
Attorney, haven't you
heard the news?
But don't worry.
I'll show you all the pieces
of evidence we gathered.
Just like this.
That still doesn't prove
that she killed Cunanan.
Where's the murder weapon?
And what's her motive?
That's what I'm asking.
Like I said, my clients
are done here.
All you have is
circumstantial evidence.
They're free to leave.
You can't leave until
Stella answers my question.
[ANDRES] Stella, would you
like to make things harder,
and face more charges?
Just tell me.
You want to know her motive?
I know
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
she had no motive.
She had no reason
to kill Walter.
What does this video prove?
Do you see her killing him?
No, right?
So you don't have any reason
to accuse Stella of anything.
And one more thing,
where's the rest of the footage?
Why do you only have this clip?
[DOOR CLOSES]
- [POLICEMAN] Sir.
- Hmm?
You need to see this.
All right, just explain this.
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
What does this picture prove?
It says here you two were
in a relationship, Ms. Morales.
Shouldn't you be more concerned
about the person
sending you these?
And why wasn't that included in
the initial evidence
you showed us?
Why are you only getting
all these now?
Whoever's doing this
obviously wants to frame Stella.
[STELLA] Why did you do that?
I thought
I could've told them
everything I know about you.
But you didn't.
Why didn't you?
Vincent, you had every reason
to tell them what you know,
but
Because I choose
to believe in you.
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
Why?
Because I know you're innocent.
You're not perfect.
They can fault you
for many other things.
But you're not a murderer.
Ever since I met you, Stella,
I've learned to
listen to my heart more,
not just my brain.
I can feel that
you're not a bad person.
And I'm holding on to that.
[SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES]
[SNIFFLES] Vincent, thank you.
I did complicate your life.
Yes, you lied to me,
and that made me feel bad.
But I caused you
even more pain and trouble.
When I accepted your offer,
I was prepared for
the consequences.
But you shouldn't be punished
for a crime you didn't commit.
And the same goes
for me, Stella.
[SOBBING]
Stella, I'll do everything in
my power to clear our names.
And whoever's responsible
for this crime will pay.
I promise you that.
[CONTINUES SOBBING]
Thank you.
[SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES]
[SOBBING]
What did your sister
say about Walter?
We were all shocked
to learn they had a past.
But that doesn't mean
my sister killed him.
Yes, he hurt and
treated my sister badly.
But she's not capable
of killing anyone.
There are also lots of things
we didn't know about Walter.
There are some we're only
hearing about now.
It's actually making me worried.
How come?
Because we don't know what
other secrets Walter was hiding.
And these secrets
can affect everyone.
Edward, Katherine?
We have an emergency.
I just got a call
from our client.
And they're expecting a lot more
guests for the prom tonight.
- So, we need extra hands, okay?
- Okay, ma'am.
So that's why everyone in
the kitchen's stressed today.
The prom's tonight.
That's pretty cool.
Good for them.
Don't you have prom
at your school?
We do, but prom is only
for the rich kids
who can spend on gowns
and makeup.
The food's pricey as well.
I don't want to bother
my sister with all that.
You know, sometimes,
I wonder what it feels like
to go to prom.
Where everyone's carefree
and beautiful
just for one night.
[EDWARD] Hey, be careful.
Watch your step.
If this is a prank,
you'll be in trouble.
Stay put, okay? Don't move.
["PWEDE BANG MAMAYA?"
BY ANGELA KEN PLAYING]
Don't move.
Surprise!
Oh, shucks.
What is all this?
This is for someone who hasn't
experienced going to prom.
You're crazy.
["PWEDE BANG MAMAYA?" CONTINUES]
["PWEDE BANG MAMAYA?" CONTINUES]
["PWEDE BANG MAMAYA?" CONTINUES]
[SONG ENDS]
[PHONE CHIMES]
[UNSETTLING MUSIC PLAYING]
- [PHONE BEEPS]
- [LINE RINGS]
What is this you sent me?
Sir Edward set up a
mini-prom on the rooftop
to surprise Katherine.
[SIGHS]
Ever since I was a kid,
Dad always told me
when I get older, I'm going
to handle our businesses
and that's when
I started working here.
But is this really
what you want to do?
[CLICKS TONGUE]
I guess I just got
used to the idea
of becoming a businessman.
So, what do you
really want to be?
Hmm.
To be honest,
I wanted to take up
journalism in college.
I want to be like Dad.
And because I idolize
my brother, Vincent.
So, why didn't you pursue it?
Dad said no.
He said it's dangerous.
He said he prefers me handling
our businesses instead.
You know, it's not too late.
You can still
take up journalism.
I don't think I have the time.
And with what's happening
with my family right now,
I don't want to cause
any more friction.
Hey, pursuing a dream
doesn't have a timeline.
What's important is you're sure
about what you're doing.
You know, you're the only one
who's ever told me that.
Sorry, I'm just
a little opinionated.
[CHUCKLES]
You know, I think you'd be
a great journalist one day.
So don't be afraid.
Your surname doesn't define you.
Shouldn't that Stella Morales
be in jail already?
You know, sir,
if we were only
talking about Stella,
we could find a way
to put her in jail.
But your son, Vincent,
is protecting her.
That video is solid evidence.
No matter what Vincent does,
if your men just did their job,
Stella should be
behind bars already!
If you can't control your men,
give the case to someone else.
Give it to somebody
you can hold by their throat.
All right, sir.
We'll try to look for someone.
[ARTHUR] Don't try, just do it!
You wouldn't want me
to talk about you
on Cabrera News, right?
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
Oh, thank you.
Oh, you need to
pay for the coffee.
We just want to
talk to you again.
Sir, I already told you
about everything I know.
You said the CCTV camera
was destroyed by a storm.
So, how could
someone send us this?
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
I don't know
anything about that, sir.
You know, if we find out
you're hiding something,
we can charge you with
obstruction of justice.
Would you want that?
Sir, do what you need to do.
I'll face it.
But I really
don't know anything.
Now, go away.
- You can't be here.
- Wait.
You have no authorization!
You can't be here!
Don't push me!
Just get out of here.
Get out.
I've been looking
for you all evening!
Where have you been?!
We couldn't find you!
I had instructions for you
for tomorrow.
- I'm sorry.
- Your shift's not over yet!
It's my fault.
[MOROSE MUSIC PLAYING]
You're just a
probationary employee, right?
Pack your things.
Today's your last day.
You're fired!
- What?
- Now, go!
[EDWARD] Katherine.
I'll be fine, Edward.
Don't follow me.
[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]
Stella.
This is a replacement
for your stolen cellphone.
Huh?
Why did you buy me this?
Because you need it.
Thank you.
Vincent?
You have a visitor.
- I mean
- It's Claudia.
you have a visitor.
I got it, I got it.
Vincent.
I see that you're busy.
What is this story about?
Confidential.
[SCOFFS] Confidential?
Big word for you.
Can you even keep up
with what they're doing?
Stella is an important
part of our team.
I trust and believe
in her capabilities.
You still trust this woman?
You know, Claudia,
you're distracting us.
We have a lot to do.
We're covering another story.
Can you please leave?
Or do you just want to know
what story were doing?
It's the story of a rich addict
who broke into the house
of a poor prostitute
just to get an old cellphone.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
Stop playing dumb.
I know you're somehow involved.
You even dragged my siblings,
and Vincent, into that mess.
Claudia, I'm not done
with you yet.
Don't ever forget
to look behind you
because you don't know
when I'll get back at you!
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
What, you're going to leave?
I knew you were a coward.
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
[SNICKERING]
Mm, you thought I'd forget you?
[CHUCKLES] I've got you now.
Oh, hey
Sir Matthew.
- You need to see this.
- Yeah, wait, wait, wait
No, no, no, no, no
- Sir, it's important.
- Ugh.
I lost my match.
Come on.
Why, what is that?
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[VINCENT] Like most crimes,
this story begins
and ends with money.
For this episode,
we will follow a money trail.
A money trail that started at
the hands of CFO Walter Cunanan,
and how he took money out of
the Cabrera group of companies
with the help
of its current CEO
Matthew Cabrera.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES]
The discovery
of this money trail
is the reason why I was
fired from Cabrera News.
But the more
important question is
Is this money trail
somehow connected
to the death of Walter Cunanan?
This is Vincent Cabrera,
breaking my silence.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES]
- [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES]
- [INHALES, EXHALES DEEPLY]
[GATE CLANKING]
[CAR DOOR THUNKS]
Stella.
I wish to talk to Vincent alone.
[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]
[GATE RUMBLES, CLANKS SHUT]
[SOMBER MUSIC CONTINUES]
[VINCENT EXHALES DEEPLY]
Did things really have
to come to this?
How could you do that
to your brother?
I didn't want things
to come to this.
I just want to know the truth.
And shouldn't you be asking
if Matthew really is
involved in that mess?
Unless, you're aware of
everything that he's doing
and you're covering for him.
You'll destroy
your brother and yourself
because of what you've done.
You're just making
your dad angrier.
You didn't even think
about how I would feel
as your mother.
I'm sorry, Mom.
But if Matthew is innocent,
you have nothing to worry about.
Vincent, your brother's
not perfect, but
Shouldn't he learn that instead?
Let him learn to take
responsibility for his actions.
Mom, he admitted to me
that he stole from the company,
but it was Dad who fired me
from Cabrera News.
And I accepted that.
I accepted it
as you stood by and watched.
You think I just
stood by and watched?
Do you have any idea
how hard I fought for you?
But it's out of my hands.
I'm not the only one
making decisions.
Your removal from Cabrera News
was out of my hands,
but I can fight
for your place in our family.
But what you did
isn't helping your case.
I'm doing this
to protect myself.
I'm doing this
to prove my innocence.
And just like what
I told Dad, now
There are no more restrictions.
Mom, I've done countless
cover-ups in Cabrera News
to protect our family.
But this time, it's different.
Do you even still
see us as your family?
[SIGHS]
You're still my mom.
Even though most of the time
I feel like I'm an outsider,
you still make me
feel like I'm family,
like I'm still part
of this family.
You're the only reason why
I haven't fully turned
against the family.
Then do this for me.
Take back your statement
against Matthew.
Let us be one family again.
Mom, it's too late.
I can't take back
all those things I've said.
Now, will they still
see me as family?
Especially Dad?
Your dad loves you, Vincent.
Please believe me.
[SIGHS]
Maybe so.
Maybe he did love me
But not in a way
that I understand.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[SNIFFLING, SOBBING SOFTLY]
This is all Vincent's fault.
He's going against us.
Matthew
Vincent wouldn't
have been able to do this
if you weren't
a fool and a half.
He wouldn't have known anything
if you hadn't been negligent.
But the ratings of
Cabrera News went up.
They went up?
The ratings of
Cabrera News went up?
That's because
of Vincent's video!
And because people
are waiting for
what will be the statement
of Cabrera News.
But that is bad publicity.
Bad publicity
is still publicity.
Do you really
not know anything?!
Do you even review the
performance of the CGC?
Our stocks are falling.
That means people's trust
in us is diminishing
and that's all because
of Vincent's actions.
And worse, all this could lead
to legal action against you
and against our company!
Dad
What if we shut down
Cabrera News?
[MOROSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[MATTHEW WHIMPERS]
[SHOUTS] Argh!
Yes, Cabrera News
was hanging by a thread.
And things worsened
when you took over.
And you're even
worse than Vincent!
Vincent kept fighting.
He wouldn't have stopped,
not until we fired him.
Because he had a plan.
He had principles.
He was resourceful.
But you You're always
missing when there's trouble.
You're such a spineless coward!
Dad
Dad [SNIFFLES]
You've made too big of a mess.
You may be my son,
Matthew,
but I won't let you
ruin my name.
Get out of here!
- Dad
- Get out!
[SNARLS] Out Get out!
[MOROSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
[MATTHEW SNIFFLES]
- [GATE CRASHES OPEN]
- [MATTHEW BREATHING HEAVILY]
- Matthew?
- How'd you get in here?!
- Damn you!
- Hey! What gives?!
- Don't get involved!
- Wait a second!
You've always been
jealous of me!
And why would I be
jealous of you?
Because you have nothing!
You should be thankful
you were adopted.
And now this
This is how you repay me?!
Take back those lies
you said about me!
I'm not taking anything back.
Just prove that everything
I said is wrong.
Oh, I'm going to prove
something, all right.
- Don't start trouble, Matthew!
- We're not done here!
I'm not done with you!
We need to talk!
If you're going to start
trouble, do it outside!
- He's the one at fault!
- That's enough!
- I said enough!
- What the Wow
I told you to leave!
Don't start any trouble here!
Really? Who even are you?
You're telling me to leave, huh?
- Vincent, come down here
- Enough!
I understand you, okay?
What?
If you're telling the truth
It's hard to prove the truth
when you're being accused.
What kind of sick joke is this?
You know,
all of this will only end
if we find out what
happened to Walter.
So tell us what you know.
You'll clear your name
if you tell us the truth.
We are not your enemies here.
We are your allies.
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
Dad?
[RUBIK'S CUBE CLICKING]
[CUBE THUDS ON TABLE]
I need you to file
your resignation.
Why?
For damage control.
W-What
What's going on?
Why are my bags out here?
Dad
Please.
Please don't do this.
Dad, please.
Please don't do this to me.
Please, Dad. Come on
I'm doing everything
you want me to, Dad.
I'm doing everything I can.
I'll make it up to you. I
I'll find a way
to fix this, Dad.
Please don't do this to me.
I need this place.
I need to stay here.
[SOBBING] Dad, please
I suggest you look for
a place to stay, Matthew.
Dad [SOBBING]
Time to step up to the plate.
Dad [SOBBING]
Don't, Dad. Come on
I can do this.
I know I can do this.
I'll fix Please, Dad.
I'll do anything, Dad. Please!
I'll make it up to you.
I'll do everything! Please!
Please forgive me.
Just one more chance.
Anything?
- Anything.
- Anything?
[MATTHEW] Yeah.
- [STIRRING MUSIC PLAYING]
- [MATTHEW SOBBING]
Dad Dad!
[MATTHEW SNIFFLES]
Can't you do anything
to change Dad's mind?
His mind's made up.
I suggest that you stay
at our rest house for now.
I'm scared that I won't be
able to recover from this.
I'll always be
a failure in his eyes.
[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]
You're not a failure.
Maybe this is what you need.
You need to take
control of everything.
This is your chance to
prove yourself to your dad.
[SOMBER MUSIC CONTINUES]
Looks like Matthew was
hit hard by what you did.
Matthew will fold soon.
His whole life, he never
learned to take responsibility.
Why is that?
Because they always
cover up for him.
[SIGHS]
That's a shame.
I shouldn't have told him
to leave earlier.
Why are you all of
a sudden nice to him?
Come on. He was
very emotional earlier.
That was my chance
to make him tell the truth.
I could've pushed a little more
to get him to speak.
You never know, right?
He might have information
that we don't know about.
Right?
[RINGTONE] Daddy! Daddy!
I love you.
Please answer my call.
Dear?
Dad, can you come to the house?
Of course, dear.
Is something wrong?
[PHONE BEEPS]
[BUSY TONE]
- Is there a problem?
- [PHONE BEEPS]
I need to go see Bea.
- [BUSY TONE]
- [UTENSILS CLINKING]
Matthew's not answering.
- Hi, Dad. Hi, Mom.
- Oh!
- Hi. Mm [CHUCKLES]
- Hello.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- How's dinner?
- Mmm!
- Good.
- It's very, very good.
- [CHUCKLES]
- And I must say
I'm really impressed with the
way things are going on here.
Especially you.
You make us so proud.
Aww Thanks, Mom.
I've actually been
working really hard,
and I've been working here
for a long time as well.
I think I've proven myself.
I also had a good
performance evaluation.
- Mm-hmm.
- So good in fact that
I think I deserve a promotion.
I am ready to take on
a managerial role.
Well It's about time.
You were the one who insisted
on starting from the bottom.
Well, you did not disappoint.
And I think you
deserve that promotion.
So, starting tomorrow,
you'll be the manager
of this restaurant.
- Wow!
- Yes!
Thank you, Dad.
Thank you, Mom.
I promise you,
you'll be proud of me.
- [CHUCKLES]
- For sure.
[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]
And they lived
happily ever after.
That was beautiful, Daddy.
Thank you.
All right, dear.
Time to go to sleep.
I don't want to
sleep yet, Daddy.
Can you read me another story?
Huh? But look at how
sleepy your eyes are.
I don't want to sleep yet.
Because when I wake up,
I'm sure you'll be gone again.
I wish you were here
all the time.
Daddy, am I hard to love?
Uh
Hold on.
Is it hard to love you?
Hm? It's so easy
to love you. Okay?
Dear, why do you ask that?
- Is that guy still breathing?
- Of course, he is.
But he can't walk right now.
You know what,
let's just carry him.
Let's get him a taxi.
Hey, you two over there,
help us with him.
Come help us carry him.
- No, thanks!
- You can do it!
I swear, those two
- What's with those two?
- Where do we even start?
- Look at this guy Oh!
- Hey!
Look at him!
Turns out, he can't
hold his liquor.
He just kept drinking
until he turned out like this.
He almost went into
hysterics earlier. Hmph!
- What do we do with him?
- Huh?
Wait, let me call someone.
[LINE RINGS]
Stella.
Vincent, your brother's here.
He's knocked out drunk.
We don't know
what to do with him.
Look.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
All right, I'll be there.
Huh? Where will you take him?
He was thrown out
of your family's home, right?
I'll take him to
my apartment for now.
Huh? Why?
I'll explain when I get there.
[CLAUDIA EXHALES SOFTLY]
Aren't you going
to sleep here?
Vincent.
[CLAUDIA SIGHS]
What sort of ideas are you
putting in the girl's head?
What do you mean?
[MOROSE MUSIC PLAYING]
She asked me
if she was hard to love.
No child would ever think that.
Vincent, I have no idea.
Maybe that's just
how she feels.
Claudia, I know we're not
perfect parents.
[SIGHS]
But let's not turn our child
against each other.
If you don't want things
to get worse between us,
leave Bea out
of our problems.
[MOROSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
You know, it's a good thing
you came to the bar.
We didn't know
what to do with him.
He just showed up tonight.
Thanks.
Please thank Mama Mona for me.
Tell her I'm sorry
for the trouble.
Hey, your brother
is so lucky to have you.
Even though you're not
on good terms,
you're still taking
care of him.
You could've just left him
at the bar.
I'm adopted, but he's
still my brother.
So, even though we're
constantly fighting,
I try to understand him.
Because his whole life, he had
to share everything with me.
[WATER SLOSHING]
[MATTHEW] Where am I?
What are you doing?
Yuck! Get away from me!
- Hey, you better stop it!
- [MATTHEW] Eww!
"Eww"? You're not out
on the streets right now
because Vincent
chose to help you.
Get that through
your thick skull.
My dad kicked me out
because of Vincent!
Because of that video
on your channel!
In case you've forgotten,
Dad kicked me out too.
Remember?
What he did to me was worse.
But I'm his son.
I'm his real son.
[SOBBING]
How could he do this to me?
Matthew, we both know Dad.
Nothing comes before
his reputation.
He puts himself first
over everyone else,
even his own family.
If you try to question
or go against him,
he gets rid of you.
Yeah.
That's exactly how he is.
Even to the most loyal.
Even Walter?
[SOBS]
Vincent
I'm tired of being
a scapegoat.
I had nothing to do
with Walter's death.
You know what? Fine.
I'll tell you
everything I know.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
Something horrible
must have broken Walter
-for him to turn into a monster.
- Ma!
Walter infiltrated our family.
Someone knows the truth.
We need to find that person.
Just fix this problem now!
They're closing in
on our secret,
and I can't let that happen.
We need to change the game.
