00:47 I have to look handsome, right?
00:49 Okay.
00:51 [phone ringing]
00:52 Hey, wait. It's here.
00:54 Hello, Noc?
00:56 Are you free? I have a surprise for you.

01:04 [phone ringing]

01:08 I'm confused.

02:02 Come inside.
02:04 Ah, Noc,
02:06 I'm sorry
02:08 I didn't recognize you.
02:10 I saw you in the photos
02:12 that your mom posted.
02:14 Noc, wait. Do you remember this?
02:16 This?
02:18 You used to love this when you were a kid.
02:20 You're still not here when I'm fighting this.
02:22 What do you want to do?
02:28 Ah,
02:30 we can eat out.
02:32 Go to the mall.
02:34 I still have a lot to do.
02:36 For my flight.
02:38 Maybe some other day.
02:42 Ah, is that so?
02:44 Okay, okay.
02:46 No problem.

03:04 [music]
03:06 Oh, brother!
03:08 Hey! Why are you here?
03:10 You're on a rest day.
03:12 Well, my son is busy.
03:14 We can't go to the banding.
03:16 Is he still sulking?
03:18 Of course.
03:20 Well,
03:22 he still has a bad heart.
03:24 But,
03:26 I'll try to make it up to him.
03:28 You still have a lot of time for that.
03:30 No.
03:32 One day, he'll fly to Canada.
03:34 Huh?
03:36 That's it.
03:38 I can't blame him.
03:40 I've been away from his life for 17 years.
03:44 Mom, why would I stay here?
03:46 I can book a room near the airport.
03:50 Son, your dad asked for it.
03:54 Of course.
03:56 So you can get to know each other.
03:58 For what?
04:00 I'm leaving anyway.
04:02 And Mom,
04:04 he chose to go to the banding instead of us.
04:06 So, why would I adjust for him?
04:08 He's still your dad, son.
04:12 It's not hard to forgive.
04:14 Forgive?
04:16 In one week?
04:18 That's impossible.
04:20 Son,
04:22 you can try.
04:24 There.
04:36 You can eat now.
04:38 I don't eat carbs.
04:40 Well,
04:42 I eat carbs,
04:44 so I eat carbs.
04:46 Let's eat.
04:48 Son,
04:56 what's your plan
04:58 when you get to Canada?
05:00 I found a job there.
05:02 I'm still an accountant.
05:06 That's fast.
05:08 You haven't changed at all.
05:10 You're so hardworking.
05:12 It seems like
05:14 you still remember what I always tell you.
05:16 If you don't work hard,
05:18 you'll have a hard time.
05:20 Actually,
05:26 I'm really excited.
05:28 New place,
05:30 new memories,
05:32 new people.
05:34 The food is delicious.
05:36 You know,
05:38 our cook cooked that
05:40 in the restaurant I manage.
05:42 Oh, I forgot.
05:44 I cooked galunggong earlier.
05:46 It's good.
05:48 There's no shrimp here.
05:50 What's your problem?
05:58 I'm sorry, son.
06:04 I didn't know
06:06 you have a shrimp allergy.
06:08 That's why I want to get to know you
06:14 so I can
06:16 make up for my shortcomings.
06:18 I know
06:20 I'm not good enough to
06:22 be sorry for what I did to you and your mom.
06:24 What happened is already happened.
06:28 I won't be
06:30 who I am now
06:32 because of my experiences.
06:34 I'm here now, son.
06:36 I'm here for you.
06:40 I'm at your service.
06:42 Please close the door
06:48 when you leave.
06:50 Thank you.
06:52 [music]
06:54 Come here.
07:04 Gomer,
07:10 come back soon.
07:12 We have a lot to do.
07:14 Yes, sir.
07:16 Brother, how's your son?
07:20 He's a good boy.
07:22 Oh.
07:24 You know, brother,
07:26 being a father is not manual.
07:28 Look at me.
07:30 I've had four children but I'm still learning.
07:32 You're right, brother.
07:36 I'm just a discard.
07:38 I can still get my son's heart.
07:40 I'll give him a gift.
07:42 Even if it's a small gift,
07:46 it's still important.
07:48 I bought this for you
07:50 so you'll be comfortable in your flight.
07:52 I'll also make your electric fan.
07:54 I know it's not working.
07:56 I'll help him with things
07:58 that I couldn't do for him before.
08:00 I'll show him
08:06 that I'm interested in his life.
08:08 Son,
08:10 what does an accountant do?
08:12 I don't know anything
08:14 about math.
08:16 It's not just about math.
08:18 I'm fixing and passing
08:22 the tax returns of the employees.
08:24 You know,
08:28 I remember when you were young,
08:30 you wanted to be a vocalist.
08:32 Right?
08:34 You even said that you'll play the guitar for you.
08:36 Do you still sing?
08:40 Not anymore.
08:42 You should not waste time
08:44 to do the things you want.
08:46 Yes,
08:48 there's work for your needs.
08:50 But still do
08:54 what your heart is looking for
08:56 because that's what will bring you to life.
08:58 I'm sorry.
09:00 You know,
09:20 it's not that easy to break it.
09:22 I'm sorry.
09:26 I'll try.
09:28 No, no.
09:30 Go ahead.
09:32 Just continue.
09:34 Do you know the other chords?
09:36 Try the G chord.
09:40 And you need to
09:44 stretch your fingers.
09:46 And the strum
09:48 needs to be soft.
09:50 Try the
09:54 strumming pattern.
09:56 It's simple.
09:58 Down, down, down,
10:00 up,
10:02 and down.
10:04 There.
10:06 Good job.
10:08 You got it.
10:10 Fast learner.
10:12 This is my son.
10:14 Thank you, Araneta.
10:16 You know,
10:22 you were just a gasoline.
10:24 But
10:26 you were the strongest
10:28 who cheered for me.
10:30 I miss the times
10:36 when we were still
10:38 friends.
10:40 But
10:42 you left me.
10:44 I lost my friend.
10:48 I lost a friend.
10:50 Son,
11:08 son,
11:10 I brought you orange juice
11:12 because you might get thirsty.
11:14 [drinking orange juice]
11:16 Oh my God!
11:22 Let me be.
11:32 I'll call someone.
11:34 I'll just walk you.
11:36 I'll just walk you.
11:40 Stop!
11:42 I need to help.
11:44 You can't go back to
11:46 helping me
11:48 or bonding with me
11:50 for the 17 years you were gone.
11:52 Son.
11:54 Yes, you gave me life.
11:56 And you supported me
11:58 growing up.
12:00 I'm grateful,
12:02 but
12:04 you left me.
12:06 My last memory
12:10 is you.
12:12 You told me
12:14 you'll just buy rice.
12:16 You told me
12:20 you'll just buy rice.
12:22 But I didn't see you.
12:26 You know,
12:34 I was looking for you.
12:38 I was hoping that one day
12:40 I'll see you.
12:42 I was saying,
12:44 "Dad,
12:46 let's go home."
12:48 But I'm not here.
12:52 I'm so sorry, son.
13:00 I couldn't say goodbye to you
13:04 because I couldn't leave.
13:06 I couldn't leave
13:08 because your mom's family
13:10 didn't like the path I took.
13:12 I had no choice
13:16 but to leave.
13:18 We all have choices.
13:20 I wish you'd choose me.
13:24 Choose me.
13:26 [sobs]
13:54 I'm sorry, son.
13:56 I thought I had a solid plan.
14:00 I'll be famous.
14:06 I'll be famous.
14:10 And I'll have a face to face with your mom's family.
14:14 With you.
14:16 But
14:20 the plan is different.
14:22 I'm here.
14:24 I lost my dream.
14:30 And my family.
14:34 I'm sorry, son.
14:40 I hope you'll forgive me.
14:42 [sad music]
14:44 [phone rings]
14:52 Brother, you have a call.
14:56 Are you still playing music, brother?
14:58 Yes, sometimes.
15:00 You know,
15:02 I'm busy with work.
15:04 I have a gig tomorrow at the Hotshot Bar.
15:06 Can you go ahead and get a proxy?
15:08 Of course.
15:10 I'm busy.
15:12 And the owner of the bar has a connection
15:14 to the record label.
15:16 He's watching.
15:18 Maybe he'll like you.
15:20 This might be your second break.
15:22 Okay. Thank you, brother.
15:24 Okay. I'll be waiting for you.
15:26 [sings]
15:38 [sings]
15:40 [sings]
15:46 [sings]
15:52 [sings]
16:06 Is this song familiar to you?
16:08 This is the original lyrics, right?
16:14 I brought this to you
16:28 on my 14th birthday.
16:30 You said
16:34 I should write a melody.
16:36 Do you want me to teach you?
16:38 Okay.
16:52 Let's start with the first line.
16:54 [sings]
16:56 It's a bit sad,
17:02 but let's try it.
17:04 You go first.
17:06 [sings]
17:08 Okay. Next time,
17:14 [sings]
17:16 [sings]
17:18 Oh, it's her.
17:34 Hello?
17:36 I'm already late.
17:38 And
17:40 my car broke down.
17:44 Can you take me to the agency?
17:46 I'm okay here.
18:00 Maybe you'll walk differently.
18:02 It's okay. I'll just stay here.
18:06 I'll accompany you.
18:12 You know,
18:14 I remember
18:16 this is how it looked
18:18 when I was born.
18:20 I was so nervous.
18:22 But
18:26 when I held your hand,
18:30 I'm sure
18:36 that was the happiest day of my life.
18:40 I'm so happy that I sang for you.
18:42 But
18:44 you just cried.
18:46 You know,
18:50 you just play the guitar
18:52 and I'll sing.
18:54 Tomorrow,
18:58 there's an open mic night at the resto bar.
19:00 You can sing.
19:02 I don't sing in front of a lot of people.
19:08 Just try it.
19:10 Just try it.
19:12 Wait.
19:16 I'll go to the restroom.
19:18 I'm already jingling.
19:20 Let's go.
19:24 [Music]
19:26 [Music]
19:28 [Music]
19:54 Brother,
19:56 isn't your son coming?
19:58 It seems like he's not.
20:00 Maybe he's not ready.
20:02 But he'll come.
20:04 Ladies and gentlemen,
20:06 Mr. J. Dominguez!
20:08 [Cheering]
20:10 Good evening, everyone.
20:18 So,
20:22 for you to have a better meal,
20:24 I'll give you a lesson.
20:26 Is that okay?
20:28 Yes!
20:30 Okay.
20:32 What I'm going to sing
20:34 is very important to me
20:36 because
20:38 my son wrote this.
20:40 This is for all of you.
20:44 [Applause]
20:46 [Music]
20:48 Every morning,
21:14 I wake up
21:16 looking for you.
21:20 When will I see
21:26 the light again?
21:30 When I love you,
21:42 I'll give you hope.
21:44 I'll give you a kiss
21:46 so you'll know
21:48 that I love you.
21:50 My heart
21:54 will not stop
21:56 because
22:00 one day,
22:02 we'll see each other
22:04 again.
22:06 [Applause]
22:10 [Music]
22:12 Ladies and gentlemen,
22:20 let's give a round of applause
22:22 to my beautiful and talented daughter,
22:24 Michelle.
22:26 [Applause]
22:28 Can you really do it?
22:32 Yes, I can.
22:34 Are you sure you can deliver that?
22:36 Yes, I can.
22:38 But the bike is outside.
22:40 Bike?
22:42 Yes.
22:44 Can't I just walk?
22:46 It's a long way to deliver.
22:50 I don't know how to ride a bike.
22:52 We're dead, brother.
22:56 Are you ready?
22:58 Just remember,
23:00 look straight,
23:02 and focus.
23:04 Okay, let's go.
23:06 One, two, three, go!
23:08 Look straight.
23:10 There, look straight.
23:12 [Screams]
23:14 Ouch!
23:16 Are you okay?
23:18 It hurts.
23:34 Dad.
23:36 Dad.
23:44 Dad.
23:50 Dad.
24:02 Don't go there, okay?
24:04 And don't eat too much
24:06 in the airplane.
24:08 It's hard to be number two.
24:10 And,
24:14 you left your passport.
24:16 Did you bring it?
24:18 It's hard to
24:20 say goodbye, and then we'll act,
24:22 and then you'll just go home.
24:24 Yes, dad. I fixed everything.
24:26 Dad, thank you.
24:30 For what?
24:32 Because,
24:34 this week,
24:36 I had a chance
24:38 to have a father again.
24:40 I'm a bit late,
24:44 but at least, I arrived.
24:48 [Somber music]
24:50 Bye, dad.
25:02 It's okay.
25:04 I'm going to get a foreigner again.
25:12 [Laughs]
25:14 Okay, you can go now.
25:16 You're late for your flight.
25:18 We'll meet again, okay?
25:24 I promise.
25:26 See you.
25:28 Hey, son.
25:38 Wait.
25:40 I'll get a good signal. Can you see me?
25:42 Is it clear?
25:44 Wait, I'll get closer.
25:46 I'll get a good signal.
25:48 How are you? Can you hear me?
25:50 Is it clear?
25:52 Wow, you're so handsome.
25:54 Of course,
25:56 when the son is handsome,
25:58 the father is handsome.
26:00 Dad, I have a good news.
26:02 What is it?
26:04 I got a racket in a pub near our house.
26:06 I'll sing there every weekend.
26:08 Really?
26:10 Yes.
26:12 I can't do this without you.
26:14 I hope you'll watch me live.
26:16 Of course, son.
26:18 I'll visit you there.
26:20 Really?
26:22 Yes.
26:24 Dad, I'll wait for you.
26:28 I'll be there, son.
26:30 I love you.
26:32 I miss you so much.
26:34 I love you, too.
