The Alibi (2025) s01e08 Episode Script

[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
It's been sent to the police.
The CCTV footage of Stella
at the resort?
Vincent can't go to jail.
Stella should go down
for this.
And I've got something juicier
to pin on her.
You had every reason to tell
them everything. Why didn't you?
Because I choose
to believe in you.
I'm holding on to that.
Take back those lies
you said about me!
Prove that everything
I said is wrong.
It's hard to prove the truth
when you're being accused.
This will all end if we find out
what happened to Walter.
Alright, fine. I'll tell you
everything I know.
Like I already told you,
I got into debt.
And that debt worsened
because of Walter.
You stole from the company.
I had no choice.
My life was at stake.
But Walter?
He benefited from it.
He stole so much
from the company.
He did it for a long time.
He was the mastermind.
Matthew, you have a strong
motive to kill Walter.
Because he could have
turned on you.
Vincent, if I wanted
to kill him,
I would've done it sooner.
[SCOFFS]
He was blackmailing me
for a long time.
But I couldn't do it.
He promised
that he would help me.
You tell me.
Why would I kill the only person
who could help me?
[SIGHS] Come on, Vincent.
Bro, please.
Please help me.
Despite our differences,
we're still brothers, right?
I'm sorry for being selfish.
I was just a kid.
I didn't know how to react.
There's no manual about
having an adopted sibling.
But I
I was never selfish when it came
to our parents' love, right?
Honestly, they think more
highly of you than me.
[SOBBING] Bro
I don't know what to do
with myself.
[SOBBING]
I'm scared of being alone.
I don't know what
I might do to myself.
You've got to help me,
bro, please.
[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]
Fine.
You can stay here.
- [MATTHEW] Yeah?
- You'll be safe here.
Okay.
Despite everything,
you still took me in.
[MATTHEW] Thank you.
We'll store all the evidence
we've gathered in here.
We can't trust Matthew.
Huh?
If you don't trust him,
why did you take him in?
You're inviting a snake
into your home.
He's here because we need
to keep an eye on him.
A snake is only dangerous
when you don't know
when it'll strike.
We have to keep
our enemies closer,
so we need to keep
an eye on Matthew.
And we need to be careful.
So, you didn't believe
a word he said earlier?
I've known Matthew
for a long time.
A snake that sheds its skin
is still a snake.
Does that mean we need
to make him believe
that we trust him?
And I know exactly
how to do it.
[STIRRING MUSIC PLAYING]
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
[KATHERINE]
Hey, what are you doing here?
Don't worry,
I won't stay long.
You can now go back
to work tomorrow.
What? How did this happen?
Hi, I'm Edward Cabrera,
the new manager of The Fides.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Congrats, Mr. Cabrera.
Let's just say that
we came to a realization.
That we can't lose someone
as special as you.
You're crazy!
See you tomorrow.
Don't be late.
[SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Daphne?
Edward?
Edward!
I've missed you so much!
I just graduated from
London business school.
With honors!
I was hoping you'd show up
at my graduation.
Sorry.
I've been busy.
Oh. Well, I got you something.
Some souvenirs.
Thanks!
[DAPHNE] How have you been?
What's new with you?
I'm good. I mean,
I'm the manager now.
I know.
The job suits you well.
[EDWARD] Thanks.
Congrats on graduating.
- [DAPHNE] Thanks.
- [EDWARD] So, what's your plan?
[STIRRING MUSIC PLAYING]
What is this place?
[STIRRING MUSIC CONTINUES]
[STIRRING MUSIC CONTINUES]
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
- [DOORS THUDDING]
- [MATTHEW GRUNTING]
[SLAMS DOORS]
I'm sorry, Mr. Cabrera.
Sir, can't we take
a quick look?
We really need
to check something.
Our files are confidential.
The law forbids us
from releasing information
to unauthorized individuals
who aren't related to the child.
We'll need a written request
and a court order
to release those files.
Please excuse me.
[PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]
How did it go?
I bet they refused.
I need to get
into that room, Stella.
How? They won't let you in.
Oh. Wait.
I'll create a distraction.
Sneak in while that's happening.
Make it quick.
Go. Stand there.
[WOMAN] Guard, help!
Guard! We need help!
- Ma'am are you okay?
- [GUARD] What happened?
- [WOMAN] Help her. She fainted.
- [GUARD] Madam?
[WOMAN] Ma'am, are you okay?
Clean that up.
Rose, call a nurse.
[WOMAN] Should we call
an ambulance?
[MAN] Madam? Madam?
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[EXHALES DEEPLY]
[DRAWER SLIDES OPEN]
Get a mop.
Clean that up.
[MAN] Madam?
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]
Hey! What are you doing?
That room is off-limits.
Sir, uh There was
a commotion outside,
so I went in to look
for an application form.
I'm sorry.
They're all attending
to the unconscious woman.
Madam?
- It's okay.
- It looked like a bad fall.
- [VINCENT] Sorry about that.
- Is she wounded?
Madam? Madam?
Madam, are you okay?
- Are you okay?
- Wait.
- Are you okay, madam?
- What happened?
Are you okay?
I am. Uh
I'm sorry for the trouble.
- Are you sure, miss?
- Yes.
Go see a doctor.
Take care. Can you walk?
Yes. Thank you.
We just want to know the truth
about Walter's past.
The truth?
Look at me.
My current state
was caused by Walter.
I nearly died because of him.
[MARLA] We're begging you.
Please leave.
We don't want any trouble.
We just want a quiet life.
Walter left our home
a long time ago.
We disowned him years ago.
We're sorry, ma'am, sir,
but we won't rest
until we've found out
what really happened to Walter.
I know you.
You're Arthur Cabrera's son.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
I am.
This all started
with your father.
We need to find out the truth.
We'll leave you alone
after this.
Please tell us the truth.
Wait.
What do you mean?
What does my father
have to do with this?
We stood as Walter's parents
for many years.
[MARLA] He seemed normal
when he came into our lives.
But as time went on,
he started acting strange.
Mama died because of you.
You should die!
Die! Die! Die!
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[SCREAMS] Die!
Walter! Walter, son.
- Aah!
- [GASPS] Son!
Walter
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
Son
I'm going back to bed.
I have class tomorrow.
But
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
My goodness, Walter.
You were kicked out
of school again?
Why are you always getting
into fights, son?
- [SIGHS]- They gave me a dirty look.
- What?
- So, I hit them.
- Before they could hurt me.
- [THUDS]
[THUDDING, SCRAPING]
[BREATHES DEEPLY]
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
[MARLA] Then one day,
for reasons we don't know,
he suddenly snapped.
[ARTHUR ON TV] We are always
on the quest for truth.
We've never bribed
a whistleblower.
And I'm so happy that legally,
we have been cleared
of any wrongdoings.
We wouldn't ruin our name
for an individual's wrongdoings.
We will remain
- Walter! Walter!
- true to our mission.
- Walter! Walter! Walter!
- [YOUNG WALTER GRUNTING]
- Aah!
- [BAT CLATTERS]
- Die! Die!
- Walter, stop!
You ruined my life!
[PANTING]
- Die!
- Emilio!
- Die!
- Walter, what are you doing?!
That's enough! Stop it!
- Get away from her!
- [MARLA GASPING FOR AIR]
Hey! Stop it!
- [EMILIO GRUNTS]
- [BREATHING HEAVILY]
That's enough!
Aah! Walter. Walter
- Argh [GROANING]- Emilio?
[MARLA] Walter left our home
after that incident.
Help!
He never once visited
Emilio at the hospital.
I thought he just
felt guilty, but
I couldn't be more wrong.
[VINCENT]
Based on what you've shared,
Walter's anger and trauma
seem to have rooted
from his mother.
Do you know who Walter's mom is?
The orphanage didn't give us
any information.
It's part of their policy
in adopting Walter.
We tried asking him but
he didn't share stories
about his mom.
Maybe it was because
of all the trauma.
[MOROSE MUSIC PLAYING]
We always wonder
was there something
we could've done
to prevent what happened?
We could've prevented that.
That's enough, Marla.
We tried to give him
the love he needed,
but Walter had long since
closed off his heart
after all he
had gone through.
Now
I hope you understand
why we just want
to forget about Walter.
[MOROSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
[STELLA] So that's why.
Why what?
Why Walter turned out like that.
Don't tell me
you feel bad for him
after everything
he has done to you.
It just made me realize
that no person is innately bad.
People like Walter
They've gone through the worst
to end up monstrous.
Walter was already broken
before he was taken in
by that family
because of his
mother's death.
Stella, the question is,
what has Dad done to make Walter
that mad at him?
We learned a lot from
Walter's adoptive parents,
but it's still not enough.
We don't even know
who his real parents are.
If it was Walter's plan all
along to get into our lives,
that means there's one person
who knew all about this.
We need to find that person.
[PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]
[SIGHS DEEPLY, CLEARS THROAT]
Oh.
You're here.
Where's Vincent?
Too bad you missed Mommy.
She brought groceries.
Come with me.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa! Whoa!
Hold on.
Where are you taking me?
Just come.
Sure!
[HEAVY FOOTSTEPS]
[MATTHEW] Okay?
Where are you taking me?
Does Vincent know about this?
Mmm.
Get in.
[DOOR THUDS]
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
Wait
You're giving me access here?
That means
I'm part of the team!
Am I going to be part
of the investigation?
Sit.
[DOOR THUDS]
[DOOR THUDS]
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
We need information from you.
Wait.
Why? What do you need this for?
Just answer the questions.
[MATTHEW GRUNTS SOFTLY]
You've known Walter
for the longest time.
Did you know
who his real mother was?
Why are you asking me that, bro?
This won't be over
unless you give me answers.
Okay. Uh
When Walter was still alive,
we didn't talk
about personal stuff like that.
Did you really think
we were best friends?
Come on. He was just
one of Dad's employees.
Okay.
Then let's start
from the beginning.
Maybe from there,
we can figure out
what his mom was like.
Wait.
What does his mom
have to do with this?
How did Walter get
into our family?
I'm sure you know something.
[MATTHEW] Yeah
I-It was kind of weird, actually.
He just
popped up out of the blue.
All of a sudden.
Hey! Thief! Hey!
Hey!
[STIRRING MUSIC PLAYING]
[BOYS GRUNTING]
- [GRUNTS]
- [BLOW LANDS]
- Get him, bro!
- [GRUNTS] Argh!
Scram!
[YOUNG WALTER PANTING]
[YOUNG WALTER] Sir!
I believe this is yours.
Thank you.
What's your name?
I'm Walter.
Walter Cunanan.
Oh, you don't have to.
No. Take it.
Thank you.
You don't have to, sir.
[MATTHEW] He didn't accept
the money Dad offered.
Instead, he asked for a job.
I don't know what it was
with Walter but
I mean
It was like,
everything just clicked.
Dad had an instant affinity
towards him.
And then, I didn't see Walter
for a while.
And out of the blue
Walter reappeared.
Dad got him as an asset
for a story he was building.
What do you need?
Boss,
I want to apply for a job.
Apply as what?
I heard from a friend
that you need someone.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
Fine.
End all my suffering.
No one will look for me anyway.
But you'd benefit from me
if I'm alive.
You can count on me.
Fine. Come with me inside.
I'll introduce you to our boss.
[MACHINE WHIRRING]
This is our machine.
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
[MACHINE WHIRRING]
[PAPER RUSTLING]
Hey! What's that?
What?
It's nothing.
- Show it to me!
- [GRUNTS]
You bastard!
[BOTH GRUNT]
- Damn you!
- [GRUNTS]
- [BLOW LANDS]
- [GROANS]
Aah!
Agh!Come back here!
Congrats on
your latest story, Arthur!
- You've busted the syndicate.
- And the minors were saved.
Your coverage was very in-depth.
Especially those
hidden camera shots.
That was very suspenseful.
[ARTHUR] Well
thank you for appreciating it.
I put my life on the line
to expose the truth
that needed to be told.
[MATTHEW]
Walter passed Dad's tests.
And ever since then,
Walter became
Dad's best soldier.
For him,
Walter was indispensable.
Since then,
Dad took care of him.
Dad treated him like family.
He bought him a house
to live in.
He gave him a scholarship.
Et cetera, et cetera.
What do you think Walter did
to gain your dad's trust?
I don't know.
[VINCENT] We'll never know
what happened between them.
But knowing Dad,
and based on Matthew's stories,
he probably saw desperation
in Walter.
And that was something
he could use.
[MATTHEW] Hold on, bro.
Your theory seems to have holes.
If Walter was angry at Dad
why was he so loyal to him
the whole time?
He stayed in the company
for so long.
He worked like a slave.
Maybe his childhood became
so traumatic because of Dad.
He blamed him.
That's why he had
deep-seated hatred for Dad.
And that anger could be enough
to endure all of that.
To play the long game.
For him to pester
all our lives.
He was plotting
something bigger.
And possibly
something that could
get him killed.
[TENSE MUSIC SWELLS]
You know what's infuriating,
Andres?
From a witness,
a key witness at that,
the security guard of the resort
was relegated to a complainant
because you kept harassing him!
Sir, I didn't harass him.
What then?
First of all, we have no use
for his testimony.
We found holes in it.
We acquired CCTV footage.
And secondly,
I saw fear in his eyes.
That means if he's hiding evidence and is lying to us,
a powerful person's behind this.
- I want to focus on that.
- Well, I don't care.
I'll assign you
to a different case,
effective immediately.
- But sir
- And please!
Enough of your
conspiracy theories!
Sir, the case is still ongoing!
I don't give a damn!
Pick your poison.
Follow my orders
or get a disciplinary sanction?
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
That's my prerogative, Andres!
I am the head of this office!
[STIRRING MUSIC PLAYING]
[CLAUDIA] That's their
first picture together.
From the same date
as Walter's death.
If they've been in a
relationship all this time,
why don't they have
more pictures?
It means
it's all a lie.
[STIRRING MUSIC SWELLS]
[CELLPHONE RINGS, BEEPS]
Hello, Dad?
Is it okay to talk?
Yeah, yeah. It's okay.
Have you done
what I asked you to do?
I would like to remind you,
Matthew
that I'm just giving you
a second chance.
[MATTHEW]I'll do anything, Dad!
Please!
Let me make it up to you!
I will do anything! Please!
Anything?
Anything.
Yeah Yeah, I think
I think our plan
is really working, Dad.
Vincent and the others
have no idea.
But I think it's better
if we talk in person.
Are you free to meet up?
Is Mom around?
No, she's not.
She's busy with the hotel.
Right, yeah.
If Mommy finds out that we're
ganging up on her favorite son,
it'll get messy.
I know.
See you in an hour.
Alright.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
They are starting
to look into Walter's past.
But I suppose
you used your brain.
[SCOFFS] Dad,
I didn't say much,
but Vincent is smart.
He won't believe
I know nothing.
So at the very least,
I need to give him
something to chew on.
It's just a hassle
that he's behaving
like such an arrogant scumbag.
Where are they?
What are they doing?
Uh
I don't know
where they went, but
I'm sure they'll dig into
every part of Walter's life.
They're definitely
seeking answers.
But they won't find anything.
Right?
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
[CELLPHONE BEEPS]
[LINE RINGS]
[CELLPHONE BEEPS]
Sir?
Vincent is looking into
Walter's past.
They cannot find anything
about Walter's life.
Not a single thing.
Yes, sir.
[CELLPHONE BEEPS]
[OMINOUS MUSIC CONTINUES]
- [GEARSHIFT CRANKS]
- [STELLA] This is it.
This is where Walter
was brought when his mom died,
before he was taken
to the orphanage
where his adoptive mother
Marla took him in.
[VINCENT]
Based on the time frame,
this is the only NGO that
could've taken him in that time.
This is the only one that
catered to abandoned children
before they're transferred
to long-term shelters
or orphanages.
So I'm sure they have
a record of Walter's history,
including his mother's identity.
[KNOCKING]
- Surprise!
- Aah!
- Oh my goodness.
- [CHUCKLES]
[STELLA] What?
Is everything set?
Don't worry, Sir Vincent.
Everything is set.
We're ready to go.
Okay. Go ahead inside.
I'll be right there.
Thank you, sir.
Let's go.
[STELLA] What was that?
What's with the clown?
What are you planning?
[BRIGHT MUSIC PLAYING]
[CLOWN] Okay, you want more?!
- Yes!
- You want more?!
- Yes!
- Okay.
Ma'am, before I forget
A small donation for the kids.
I see what you do here.
These kids are lucky
to be under your care.
[CLAPPING]
We try our best, Vincent.
We're lucky
to have people like you.
You understand what
these kids are going through.
Thank you.
That's why I'm hopeful that
there will be people
who will accept them
and ease their sadness.
I hope we can see them
like this every day.
Happy.
Okay, kids!
Who wants their makeup done?
- [GIRL] Me!
- Alright! Come here!
- Hello.
- Can you do my makeup?
Of course!
- What do you want to be?
- A princess.
A princess?
I'll turn you into a princess.
- What's your name?
- Monica.
Monica.
Alright, Princess Monica.
Come here. Look up.
I'll draw a star right here.
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
There you go!
The other side.
Let me see. Wow!
Wow!
Thank you, miss!
Stand up, sweetie.
How old are you?
I'm eight years old.
You're about the same age
as my sister.
She's missing, you see.
I haven't found her.
[GIRL] Are you okay?
[SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES]
What What was that for?
It looks like
you really miss your sister.
I'll hug you for her
while she hasn't come back.
[SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES]
Thank you.
Thank you, sweetie.
Ma'am, excuse me.
Where do I put these files?
Bring them over
to the other building.
- To the records room.
- Okay.
Go on.
Thank you.
[CELLPHONE BUZZING]
[BEEPS]
- Captain?
- Leon.
You left the precinct already?
I don't like wasting time.
Good.
That's what I like
about you, Detective.
You act fast.
Now
I presume you already know
who our main suspect is.
Stella Morales.
Exactly.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
I'll turn you into a princess.
- Stella.
- Hold on, sweetie.
Go choose what color you want.
The records room
is in the other building.
I need to move
while everyone's occupied.
But I need time.
Alright, I got it here.
Be careful.
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
Vincent Cabrera!
What do you need, sir?
We're here to investigate
Walter Cunanan.
I thought Andres
was handling Walter's case.
You haven't heard?
He's been removed
from the case.
Detective Leon Mercado has
taken over the investigation.
He ordered us to come here.
[STELLA] Vincent?
Ms. Morales!
[STELLA] Good afternoon, sir.
You're here too.
What are you both doing here?
What's the occasion?
Or does this have anything
to do with Walter Cunanan?
Sir, we don't need a special occasion to help kids.
Vincent was also adopted,
so he often does charity work
for institutions like this.
Why are you assuming
it's about Walter Cunanan?
It looks like you know a lot
about Walter Cunanan.
I'm sure the information we have
is just the same
as what the police
have gathered.
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
While you're here,
why don't you talk to the kids
to inspire them?
Maybe one of them wants
to become a cop like you.
They could follow
in your footsteps.
- Come, sir.
- I'll be downstairs, sir.
Alright.
Keep an eye downstairs.
Yes, sir.
[STELLA] Alright. This way, sir.
They'll love you.
- Kids, we have a visitor!
- [CLOWN] Wow! Give him a hand!
- [APPLAUSE]
- Alright!
Who wants to be a cop
when they grow up?
- Raise your hand!
- [KIDS] Me!
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
Okay. Say "police!"
- Police!
- Police!
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
[MUSIC BECOMES SUSPENSEFUL]
[DOOR CREAKS]
- Hello!
- Enough
[CLOWN] Kids, go back
to your seats.
- Where's Cabrera?
- I think he's in the restroom.
But I'm sure he's
on his way back now.
Sir!
[CLOWN] Stay seated.
Do you want to see
more magic tricks?
[DOOR SLAMS, LOCK CLICKS]
[EXHALES DEEPLY]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES]
[METAL CLANKS]
[METAL RATTLES]
[LOUD THUD]
[EXHALES DEEPLY]
Alba!
Sir.
I think Vincent Cabrera
has already left.
Sir, I saw him go
to that building.
- Guard.
- [GUARD] Yes, sir?
What's in that building?
The records room, sir.
It has the records
of the children
who got adopted
from this foster home.
- Come with us.
- Okay, sir.
It's over here.
The door.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES]
It's locked.
Do you have the keys?
[GUARD] Yes, sir.
Go, open it.
[DOOR KNOB RATTLES, LOCK CLICKS]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES]
Sir.
Let's go.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES]
Oh, sir.
Uh, you should eat.
Please give him some food.
Where's Cabrera?
Sir.
[PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]
- Hand it here.
- It's fine. I'll put them here.
Where have you been?
He said he saw you go
to the other building.
I just got some deliveries
of stuff we're going
to give the kids.
Looks like it's true
that you're investigating
about Walter.
That's the job of the police!
But
maybe you can tell me
what you've found out.
Sir, you couldn't wait
to leave earlier,
and now, you're back here again.
Stella.
First of all,
it's our right
to know the truth.
Second,
we already gave our statements
when we were in the station,
and they don't have
enough evidence to implicate us.
And third,
we know the law
and we know our rights.
If you have more questions,
talk to my lawyer.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[WHISPERING] That scared me.
- I haven't finished this.
- It's from him.
[MOROSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[ANDRES SCOFFS]
They removed you
from Walter's case.
News really travels fast, huh?
You guys must be happy because
you got me out of your hair now.
You guys win.
No one's a winner yet, Andres.
Walter's murderer
is still out on the loose.
[PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]
[CHAIR SCRAPES]
I need your help.
[SCOFFS]
What made you think
that I'm going to help you?
Because you never stop
until you know the truth.
Based on what I know
about you,
I know that you're
an honest policeman.
I think your suspicion is right.
Someone is manipulating
all of this.
And I think they took
you off the case
because you're close
to uncovering their secrets.
"Their secrets"?
Why? Were you able
to find new information?
I don't think Walter
approaching my family
and getting close to my father
was a coincidence.
Walter deliberately targeted us because he's mad at my father.
You know, if Walter's motive
is to get revenge,
he wouldn't wait that long
before exacting it.
He was always
with your father.
He could shoot him
and be done with it.
That's why I need
your help, Andres.
If Walter waited that long,
it means he meticulously
planned for it.
Do you know a Teresa Lopez?
She's Walter's mom.
Walter was 10
when his mom died.
And I think
that's the reason why he
despised us Cabreras.
If we find out
what really happened to her,
we will be able to know
Walter's plans and motives.
And maybe we'll be able
to discover who killed him.

[STELLA] Walter's mom
killed herself?
What does this
have to do with your dad?
I don't know yet.
But I found out that she
used to be Dad's employee.
She wasn't just
an ordinary employee, Vincent.
Read what's written below.
[UNSETTLING MUSIC PLAYING]
She was my dad's protégé?
[UNSETTLING MUSIC CONTINUES]
- Evelyn Sillano?
- Yes?
You're the one
I'm having a meeting with?
Yes.
And I'll get straight
to the point.
Oh. Uh, I'm sorry.
- I'm busy. I have to go.
- Uh, ma'am. Wait.
There's something
we want to ask you
about Teresa Lopez.
I have nothing to do with that.
I know nothing.
You were the one
who made her report, right?
We have the documents.
We can hand them
over to the police
so they can investigate you
themselves.
What exactly
do you want to know?
That happened a long time ago.
I no longer work
for the company.
We want to know what really
happened to Teresa Lopez
and why she died by suicide.
[WOMAN BREATHES
SHAKILY, SHARPLY]
[INHALES SHAKILY]
Teresa was among those
trained by Sir Arthur.
Teresa got dragged into the case
he forced her to handle.
Um
She didn't turn on Sir Arthur
despite what he made her do.
It was Sir Arthur
who betrayed her.
[TERESA] Sir.
Have you already secured
our informant's affidavit?
Um
Not yet, sir, because
I found inconsistencies in his
statement when I reviewed it.
He might be lying to me.
[ARTHUR] For God's sake, Teresa!
You're my intern!
Follow my instructions!
You know how important
his statement is for our scoop.
- [TERESA] Sir
- He's our only whistleblower
to expose that judge!
[TERESA] But, sir,
we'll be in trouble
if we publish the story
based on his statement.
Once he signs the affidavit,
we won't be liable.
If he lies, that's on him!
But Sir, how?
You have confidential funds!
You know what to do!
Why? Are you scared?
The first quality
of a journalist is bravery!
You should be ready to throw
yourself between bullets
if you want to get that story!
[STIRRING MUSIC PLAYING]
What?
You'll have him sign it,
or you'll lose your job?!
[STIRRING MUSIC CONTINUES]
Here's the affidavit.
Sign it so we can publish
the story against your boss.
I just got carried away
with my emotions
when I told you those things.
I'm pulling out my statement.
What?!
Oh, no.
I'm begging you.
I'm begging you!
Please sign it now!
My job depends on this!
[STIRRING MUSIC CONTINUES]
[TERESA SIGHS]
[PAPER RUSTLING]
Come on, take it.
Then sign the affidavit.
I'm begging you.

[POLICE SIREN CHIRPS]

What's that?!
- Teresa Lopez.
- Uh
[POLICE OFFICER]You are under arrest
for obstruction of justice!
- Come on, cuff her.
- What?
[HANDCUFFS CLICKING]
You set me up.
- [POLICE OFFICER] Let's go.
- Come on.
[TERESA] Wait, sir!
- Just come with us.
- Sir [CRIES]
You set me up.
Sir.
Boss, wait!
Please.
- Get in. Come on.
- [TERESA SOBS]
[SNIFFLES, SOBS]
- Boss, don't do this.
- [CAR DOOR SLAMS SHUT]
Please
[SOBBING SHAKILY, SNIFFLING]
[YOUNG WALTER] Hello, Ma?
Are you on your way home?
[SNIFFLES] Son, I don't think
I can come home tonight.
[SOBS] Sorry.
Mama got into trouble.
What happened, Ma?
Sir Arthur asked me
to do something.
[SOBS] I-I don't know.
I might go to jail, son.
[SNIFFLES]
Ma! What do you mean?!
But maybe he won't abandon me.
Maybe everything
will be okay, son.
What are we going to do, Ma?!
[TERESA] I don't know. [SOBS]
I don't know!
I don't know what to do!
Son, I'm so scared.

Ma?
I'll just borrow from the store.
Do you want anything?
Ma?
Mama! [BREATHES SHAKILY]
Ma! Ma! [SOBBING SHAKILY]
Ma, why?! [BREATHING HEAVILY]
Mama! Mama! [SOBBING]
I couldn't do anything.
That's why I resigned.
I could no longer take
Sir Arthur's cruelty.
That explains
why Walter was so furious.
He blamed your father
for his mother's death.
Even if Dad
didn't directly do it,
from Walter's perspective,
my father pushed his mother
to do all that.
That also pushed Walter
to do this.
To get into our family.
To wait that long.
To get revenge on my father.
[ANDRES] How did your errand go?
We talked to the company's
former HR officer.
Things are getting clearer
about Walter's death.
We're gathering proof
about why he was killed
and who might have done it.
You think it's your father?
I need to be sure, Andres.
We're talking about my family.
Let us work on it.
Us?
You'll still help us?
If they think I'll stop after
removing me from the case,
they don't know me.
I won't stop until the real
culprit pays for what they did.
You need an ally, right?
- [VINCENT SIGHS]
- [CAR DOOR CLOSES]
Mrs. Cunanan!
Oh, what are you doing here?
[CHUCKLES]
We've already given you
all the information.
I have nothing more to tell you.
There's something else
we need from you.
What is it?
We'd like to ask your permission
as Walter's legal parent.
We're planning to exhume
his body for autopsy.
[MARLA GASPS]
What for?
[VINCENT] We suspect his first
autopsy was manipulated
to derail the investigation.
Who would do that?
Someone covering up
what really happened.
The one who killed him.
Sir Arthur.
Part of the protocol
The Review Board informed us
that they will perform
a new autopsy on Walter Cunanan.
And unfortunately, a doctor
named Dr. Ramona Castro
has been tasked to handle it.
How did they manage to do that?
Apparently, they got permission
from the legal parent.
Damn it.
What did you even do?
Why didn't you stop them?
You are the police department
for God's sake!
Sir Arthur.
They are an independent body.
They are not
within my jurisdiction.
I'm sorry.
Teresa Lopez.
Then Walter Cunanan.
Vincent is getting closer
to the truth.
[VAN ENGINE REVVING]
We're here.
Alright.
- [MAN] Get it, come on.
- You're from the morgue?
- Yes, sir.
- Sir.
Can you show us the permit
from the doctor?
Uh, sure. It's in the van.
Can you show it?
You know
this is a high-profile case.
We're just making sure.
Okay, sir. We'll put
the coffin in the van first.
It won't take long.
[GRUNTS]
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[COFFIN THUDDING]
- Doc, excuse me.
- Yes?
The morgue staff will be late.
They got a flat tire.
- Huh? A flat tire?
- Yes.
- Sir, we're leaving.
- Wait. Hold on.
- [SLAMS]
- [VAN DOOR CLOSES]
- Doc.
- Hello, Vincent.
The staff from the morgue
will be late.

[VINCENT, STELLA PANTING]
Some men tried
to take Walter's body.
Who would do that?
You might know them.
Once it's proven
someone manipulated
Walter Cunanan's autopsy,
they'll pay for it, right?
As soon as I begin
my examination,
we'll find
what you're looking for.
And hopefully, with the results,
I'll be able to prove
your innocence.
We'll surely get
in trouble, doc.
I'm aware. You should fear
the living more than the dead.
She'll surely
discover something.
- Eliminate her.
- Yes, Chairman.
There's new information
pointing to you
as Walter Cunanan's killer.
