01x45 - Sagot sa panalangin

[bunniefuu]

For some, boxing is just a pastime.

But for us,

it's a way to fight for dignity
and a second chance.

Watch out for your face.

You might get hit.

Raise it. Keep your hands up!

They're checking each other out again!
Like me and my babe! Kidding!

The way he dodges, it's like
he owes Laurente money!

Give it to him!

Give it to him!

-Punch him!
-Hit him!

Punch him!

Hit him!

Who are you betting for? Yellow or Blue?
How much are you willing to bet?

Just kidding, Warden!
We've changed, I swear!

I'm shaken by this!
I'm shuddering from their fight!

Ouch! In the stomach! In the head!

And here we go! Our boy's sh**ting back!

Spit at his face!

Wow! They keep on fighting
and pulling back!

That's right! I was still going to
date you, so don't lose!

Did you guys see him giggling?

Here we go!

Spit on his face!

See? Blue is covered in blood!
And my armpits are sweaty!

The Philippines is hot right now!

Good for Canada though! Kidding!

Ouch! My ex was more hurtful than that!

Not like that!

Can this kid make a comeback?

The waves are shaky!
It's like there's no tomorrow, my friends!

Punch him!

Hands up!

Here we go again, he's making a comeback!
Whoops! Laurente got hit!

Hands up! Up!

There we go! Boxing extravaganza!

The enemy's down by the Hitman Punch!

What?!

He's awake! Time for you to boil rice!
Wake up! You're still going to boil rice!

Can you all smell that? Smells like the
neighbors cooking! Just kidding!

Laurente smells like a winner!

Is it time to join the Olympics?

Give it up for our boy, Laurente!
Our winner for all seasons!

I told you he could do it!
And you said you were nervous!

Is your blood pressure good?
This is just the start!

We still have our next fight!

Bro!

Bro!

Barok.

-Still got it! Just like before, huh!
-Why do you have a wound?

I knew it.

Apung was so nervous for you.

She ended up holding onto her dentures.

I don't have dentures, okay!

Only baby teeth.

It seems like we're not that close, Apung.

One more, one more!

I'm already short on practice, Barok.

Wait a moment.

I've been waiting for
your dad since earlier.

Where is he?

-He's at the hospital, Apung.
-Hospital?

We managed to convince the Warden.

His condition hasn't been
very good these past few days.

One more, one more!

Alright, sir, lie down here.

Lie down.

Put your hand here, by your head.

The other one too.

Alright, sir, lie down here.

Lie down.

Raise your hand, sir.

Okay, sir, just like that.

Oh no. Which hospital is it?

Can I go there? Can I see him?

I don't know, Apung.

What now?

But, don't worry,
I'm taking care of him of course.

Don't worry, don't worry.

Take care of yourself too, okay?

As for me, I always pray for you.

See, now you've gotten injured.

It's far from the gut, Apung.

Where's Trina?
Not here?

Well, she was supposed to come.

But her father picked her up.

Her father?

Tinay's father came to Baguio,
to fix things--

Who's Tinay?

Ah, sorry, sorry.

Trina.

I'm just used to it, because
her father calls her Tinay.

Ah.

I'm sure Tinay just gave him
a hard time, right?

Am I right?

Yes, at first…

But Bro, it seems like she's changing.

Trina seems to be softening too.

But Bro, when you see Trina,
don't call her Tinay, okay?

She might get mad.

I even asked for her permission.

I bet Trina has
no intention of reconciling.

Every time her father is mentioned,
her day gets ruined.

Bro, relax.

In terms of score, you're already losing.

When I brought them together,
it seemed like there was a chance.

Wait, what do you mean?
You brought them together?

I just helped them talk.

She's not exactly fond of me.

That's alright.

I'm happy I saw you, Bro.

How are you, Jimmy Boy?

It's like this, Doc.

It seems every day,
my life is diminishing.

You know in video games,

when you're getting beaten up,

the life bar turns red?

Like that.

Ah.

I'll be honest with you,

Jimmy Boy.

According to the lab results,

your cancer has advanced quite far.

So…

for us, it's like…

the strength your body used to have

is far from being restored.

My doctor already gave me an estimate.

Maybe I only have
four or five months left?

Doc, is…

there still hope for me?

We do have treatments

to alleviate your pain
and the symptoms you're having.

And also to…

prevent the cancer cells
from spreading further.

Can I afford that cost?

It's a bit more expensive.

More than 20,000 pesos per session.

You know how many sessions
chemotherapy can take, right?

It also depends on how your body reacts.

I guess there shouldn't be
any problem with Bennie.

The only problem
we'll have here is the budget.

And whether your body
can handle the treatments.

But, of course, as long as
there's life, there's hope.

Agreed.

Jimmy Boy.

Warden.

I'll be off.

Pineda.

What's the news?

What did the doctor say?

They said my cancer is really serious.

He said, I need to undergo chemo,

so it can at least slow the spread.

I don't have any money saved for that.

Jimmy Boy, I'm sorry, but…

you know the prison situation is tight.

Even just getting a check-up is difficult.

How much more money for chemotherapy?

I'll approach whoever I can,
but don't raise your expectations.

We'll try.

I'll keep you updated.

Thank you very much, Warden.

I better go.

By the way, what are your plans
for this coming school year?

Do you still plan
to return to Political Science?

You know, if you want to study in Manila,
I can find you a dorm there.

I'm happy here in Baguio.

And there are
many great universities here.

So, you really want to be a lawyer, huh?

You know, my dear, I'm proud of you…

whatever you choose.

I'm just happy that
you chose to be an advocate.

Actually, I've been thinking about it too.

With all the injustices
happening in front of me,

especially to those close to me,

it's disheartening.

Because what's the point of all this,

if we always turn our backs on
or close our eyes to justice?

Good lawyers.

So that we reach a time
where we can replace all the old systems.

By the way,

weren't you planning to visit
your incarcerated friend earlier?

Dos?

Do you want to visit him?

I can take you there.

No need.

I'm good.

This Dos…

You know I have a strong
feeling that he's important to you.

You wouldn't go through all
this trouble if he wasn't. Am I right?

Here, put this there…

You're like a barbeque pork bun, you know.

Thank you, bro.

Don't worry about it, he loves you.

What are you talking about, bro?

No, just kidding.

I know you're thinking about Jimmy.

Yes, of course.

His question keeps repeating in my head.
You know what I mean?

Am I doing everything I can for Lodipaps?

Hmm, that's just how it is.

I think about that too,
it's just how it is. But…

sometimes…

in life, you have to fight

even if you don't know
if you'll win or lose.

The important thing is,

you're fighting.

Wow.

High-five for that, bro.

You do have some words of wisdom, eh?

What are you saying?

Me?

Of course, I've had them for a long time.

And you know, actually,

-when I was a kid, I learned--
-Dad.

How are you?

I'm okay.

They said I need chemo.

What?! Chemo?!

Oh my! That's awful.

What's that, bro? Is it expensive?

Dad, where will we get the money?

I don't know.

I mentioned it to the Warden,
and he said he'd help.

But he also told me
not to expect too much.

He's right. Isn't he?

You wouldn't bother about
stuff like this, if I wasn't right.

It's nothing. Dos is just a friend.

I just want to support him.

You know, that's one of the
things I'm grateful to God for.

Having a friend here in Baguio.

It's a whole new world for you.

Especially Barok.

He's a good kid.

I'd entrust your life to him.

You don't need to entrust me to anyone.

I can handle myself.

Ah, dear.

I know that.

I know you're strong and independent.

But sometimes, no matter how strong
you are, you still need support.

It's like what you said earlier.

Isn't it? You're supporting
your friend Dos?

So, you also need support as well.

And I know Barok will take care of you.

It's nothing, Dad.

He's just a friend.

What?

It's the first time you called me "Dad."

Dad.

Dad, do you want me
to take you to the clinic?

-No.
-Huh?

I'm fine.

-I'm fine.
-Dad, you're coughing so hard.

Dos.

I just came from the clinic.

They don't have any cough medicine.

No cough medicine at all?

That's crazy.

-Alright. I'll just go back to the Warden.
-Stop!

Sit down.

We need your medicine, Dad.

Just two pills so you
can sleep well tonight.

The Warden already helped us
with the check-up,

he might think
we're taking advantage of him.

Dad.

I'm okay.

I can still manage.

I can still manage.

Eat up.

Eat up.

Thank you for visiting me here.

No problem.

Anything, just to see my girl.

When are you going to Manila?

Visit us sometime.

You're always welcome at our place.

Alright. Think about it carefully, huh?

Just remember, if you need anything,

whether it's personal or anything,
just tell me, okay?

Okay.

Is there something on my face?

No, nothing.

My dear,

can I hug you?

Sure.

Thank you, dear.

What happened?

This Warden is really something, huh?

He really confronted me with the dirt
I've been spreading about him.

Oh, I saw that, Mr. Seng!

They were even holding hands.
Love is love.

Is it really love?!

Son of a g*n!

This can't be!

If he doesn't leave,

there's nothing we can do,
but be careful.

But our business needs to keep running.

Boss.

Boss, Jimmy Boy is back from the hospital.

Oh, how is he?

It's not looking good, boss.

He needs chemo.

With the Warden, it's okay to go out,

but when it comes to money,
that's the hard part.

Chemo…

Boss.

What are you looking at there?

The future of our business.

And I think I know how
to win over this Warden.

You're amazing, boss!

How are you? Are you and your dad okay?

Want to hang out?

Are you free tomorrow?

-Hey!
-Hey, Mom.

-Hurry up and clean up over there.
-Yes, Mom.

So we can catch the TV series.

Yes, I'm cleaning. Don't mind me.

Yes.

-Hurry up, okay?
-Yes, yes.

Thanks Barok. Because of you,
Dad and I got along.

Mom!

Mom!

Oh no.

-You know, don't get carried away.
-I'm just happy.

Don't get carried away!

-Mom.
-I don't know about you!

-Clean that up!
-Do you want that?

Clean it up so we can
still catch the series.

Hello, ma'am.

Is the ASec in?

He's gone?

Because I spoke with
the Secretary earlier.

Around noon.

He said he'd call back.

It's already 7:30 in the evening.

So, here I am calling.

There's no budget?

Oh, okay.

But did you receive my proposal letter?

Did you get it? The one about
the inmates boxing--

Hello?

What's this?

Mr. Seng's love letter.

He might be jealous of Allan.

What?

He wants to cover
Jimmy Boy's chemotherapy?

Oh, that's good then.

What's this for?

What will he gain?

Lord, you know I rarely come to you.

But I hope you grant my prayer.

Please take care of, and heal, Lodipaps.

If I could only ask for a miracle,
I would.

Lord, I hope everything will be okay.
My health, our situation.

I want to live for my child. For Dos.

Lord, I pray that you'll open a door so
that Lodipaps can receive treatment.

Mr. Seng.

Some will fight fair,

but everyone else will do what it takes
just to be successful.
