00:00I am excited for you all to meet our principal managing partner for this partnership.
00:17Let us welcome to our growing family, Attorney Meredith Saman.
00:21I don't know.
00:22I'm looking forward to our working relationship.
00:23That's not going to be your problem.
00:28I'm so excited to be working with you under one firm.
00:32I will keep a close eye on you.
00:34There is no room for any small mistake.
00:39Enjoy the evening.
00:40This might be your last party with us.
00:44You know Tinang, I feel like I'm in a dream tonight because everyone who is mad at me
01:00is with me.
01:01It would be better if I wake up tomorrow and everything is just a dream.
01:06I don't know.
01:07My calvary is just starting.
01:09I will be with Attorney Mer, Ira, and Trixie everyday.
01:15Oh no.
01:16How will you be able to focus on your work?
01:20You might not be able to move properly if everyone around you is against you.
01:27I will just take it as a challenge.
01:30I will just do my best so that I won't make a mistake.
01:37So that I will be the only one who can focus on my work.
01:42You were under a lot of pressure back then.
01:47I can't do anything about it, Tinang.
01:49It's all in the past.
01:51I will just pray that Attorney Mer will see my efforts and that he will appreciate me.
01:58And that he will be kind to me again.
02:01I will just try to be with Ira and Trixie.
02:06I hope that now that we are in the same firm,
02:10our past issues will be resolved and we will be able to face each other.
02:18I hope so.
02:31I hope so.
02:52Your comeback was a disaster, Mattie.
02:55You really blew them away.
02:57Well, we can't be too complacent.
02:59Because you know what we just did?
03:01We just declared war.
03:03But I know that Konstantino and Lorena won't stop until I lose my position.
03:12Don't worry, Mattie.
03:13I got your back.
03:16Well, you know, they also have a loyal soldier in the person of Lillet.
03:21So, let's be careful.
03:24Leave her to me, Mattie.
03:26I will take care of that halfling lawyer.
03:29It's about time for me to atone for all her sins.
03:40Well, if you really want her to pay for what she did to you,
03:44why don't we file a case so that it will be over?
03:51Don't!
03:57Mattie, even if we were able to tell the truth to the court,
04:01that Lillet pushed me and Saldan just to hurt me,
04:05the case is still weak because we don't have evidence.
04:09It's just my word against hers.
04:13But anyway, she's still going to pay for it in some other ways.
04:17What do you mean?
04:20It's Trixie.
04:21I gotta take this.
04:22Wait.
04:24Isn't it weird that you hired Trixie as an intern?
04:27You know that Lillet has an affair with them.
04:31That's the only thing you've heard?
04:34Why?
04:36Yes.
04:38It's true that Lillet has an affair with them.
04:41And Lillet doesn't have any debt because she fought for them.
04:46Lillet doesn't have any debt because she fought for them
04:51by siding with Eno De Leon against Trixie.
04:56I guess it's upset Lillet that Trixie is working for me now.
05:02Excuse me, ma'am.
05:05Hello, Trixie.
05:13Attorney Lillet, I'll pass by here.
05:15My cubicle is a bit far from here.
05:19You know what?
05:20My dad's head is a bit hot.
05:23He might get mad at me if I get too excited.
05:28Okay.
05:29But when you're here at the office,
05:32you should focus on your work,
05:34not online games and social media.
05:37Yes, ma'am.
05:46Okay, so by 9 a.m.,
05:49we'll go to the restaurant I told you about
05:51to brief our client for his testimony, okay?
05:54Okay.
05:55And then, by 2.30 p.m.,
05:58we'll go to the Court of Justice
06:00to file an affidavit.
06:022.30 p.m., okay.
06:04Don't be late, Trixie, okay?
06:06Okay.
06:08We're really on a different level, Lillet, right?
06:10Last month, we were blamed for our picture
06:12because the DNR was about to collapse.
06:15But now,
06:17our office is much bigger.
06:19And we even have our own cubicle.
06:22It's nice, right?
06:24Yes.
06:26But the view is horrible.
06:30It's like it's ruining the day.
06:33It's like it's ruining the day.
06:35It's like it's ruining the day.
06:37It's like it's ruining the day.
06:39It's like it's ruining the day.
06:45Attorney Lillet,
06:47I want to talk to the attorney.
06:52Attorney,
06:56do you need anything?
06:59Attorney Matias,
07:01your previous law firm takes pride in you.
07:05They look up to you as one of,
07:07that's why I chose you for the assignments
07:09that I will give to you.
07:12Okay, what is that?
07:14I took notes so that I won't forget my assignments to you.
07:17Are you ready?
07:18Okay, first of all, I want you to write a legal opinion
07:21for our client who wants to merge with another company.
07:26Okay?
07:27We need to know the analysis of their antitrust
07:30and competition policies.
07:32We need to know if this will potentially harm our client.
07:38We also need to know the steps to be taken
07:41so that we have swift approval from the antitrust regulatory authorities.
07:47Okay, attorney, I'll do it.
07:49I'll take care of it.
07:51Wait, did I tell you that we're done?
07:55Sorry, do you need anything else?
07:57Yes, I would also like you to draft a case strategy opinion
08:01on the strengths and weaknesses of the Agoncillo Cement Dispute.
08:06I need to know what your recommended strategy is.
08:10About this,
08:11after you prepare this,
08:13the finance and investment contracts of Pinoy Crypto Ventures,
08:17include the loan agreements, securities purchase agreements,
08:21and venture capital agreements.
08:23I want all of these presented to the board tomorrow morning.
08:26Okay?
08:28But, attorney mayor...
08:30Why?
08:31Can't you do it?
08:32I thought you were a bar top notcher.
08:35All of that, do you need it tomorrow?
08:37Of course.
08:39Wait, I hope you're not thinking of complaining.
08:42Here in Keystone,
08:43complainers are not allowed to be lazy.
08:46You are paid generously.
08:49So, you should excel.
08:51Now, if you can't do it,
08:53prepare your resume so you can apply to other firms.
08:57Okay?
08:58I can do it.
09:00I will do it.
09:01I will not disappoint you.
09:03We'll see about that.
09:10It's your first day as principal managing partner.
09:15And you have senior and junior partners
09:18senior and junior partners
09:20to whom these associates report to.
09:24But, it's directly to Lillet.
09:28Don't you think you're taking things too personally, ma'am?
09:32Spanky.
09:33I'm not taking it personally.
09:36We have a lot of backlogs.
09:38And it's because of the transition period of Keystone.
09:42Lillet is also being paid a lot.
09:44So, she needs to use her time productively.
09:47Also, I assigned her to our key associates.
09:52But, it's not the same volume as Lillet.
09:55Come on, ma'am.
09:56We've known each other since law school days.
09:59I know when you're not telling the truth.
10:02Admit it.
10:04You're giving Lillet a hard time
10:06because she hurt Eda during the kidnapping.
10:10In fact,
10:11I suspect that one of the reasons
10:13you accepted the partnership with Keystone
10:15and your new position
10:16was to get back at Lillet
10:18and all the people who were protecting her.
10:21Am I right?
10:27Please don't be mad at me, Ma'am.
10:30I'm just concerned about you.
10:33Do you really have to do all this?
10:36Isn't this against your professional ethics?
10:41Spanky, I'm a lawyer.
10:43But, I'm also a mother.
10:45And, I will do everything
10:46to defend my daughter
10:48from all those who are aggravating her.
10:53I can't believe
10:55that Attorney Ronna gave you such a small office.
11:00You don't even have a good view from your window.
11:03I hope you're complaining.
11:07I bet
11:08that you were hired by Meredith
11:12to take over your position.
11:15Stop making a fuss about it, Lorena.
11:20Meredith may have the upper hand right now,
11:24but the war is just beginning.
11:38Let's go.
11:58How do you like your new office, Attorney Constantino?
12:04It'll do for now.
12:06I have no plans to stay there anymore.
12:09I will reclaim my power in this firm.
12:12I will show the senior partners
12:14that I am the rightful leader of Keystone.
12:18With your credentials, I doubt it.
12:21Times have changed, right?
12:24In the past, only boyfriends were stolen.
12:28Now, the leadership of the firm is being stolen.
12:33Spanky,
12:34I think we should call the building maintenance
12:37because I don't like the smell in this elevator.
12:40It smells of bitterness and jealousy.
13:03Do you really want to know
13:05why senior partners chose me?
13:08It's very simple.
13:10The best part about me is I'm not you.
13:16Don't give them that satisfaction.
13:20That's what they want.
13:24Spanky, I think we should go
13:27because they're going down.
13:32Let's go.
13:37Let's see.
13:47It's already 7 o'clock.
13:49Why aren't you home yet?
13:51Do you still need to finish the assignment
13:53that Attorney Mary gave you?
13:55Do you want me to help you?
13:57No, I can finish this in a few minutes.
14:00Sure?
14:02Yes. You go ahead.
14:04Okay.
14:06Be careful when you go home.
14:07Thank you. You too.
14:23I just need this file.
14:25I got ASAP,
14:26so you better fix it right away.
14:28Okay.
14:30I'll just take this call.
14:31Okay.
14:40Trixie,
14:42can you do something for me?
15:01Okay.
15:19Go ahead.
15:31Okay.
16:01Okay.
16:31What happened?
16:53What happened?
16:54Why did it disappear?
17:02Attorney Ira,
17:04did you steal my laptop?
17:06What the hell are you talking about?
17:08Don't deny it.
17:10I lost all my work.
17:11You're the one who could've done it.
17:13Watch your mouth, Attorney.
17:16I had nothing to do with it.
17:19And one more thing,
17:21we had a meeting with Attorney Patrick earlier.
17:23You even asked him to come.
17:26Attorney Ira is right.
17:27We'll be together for the rest of our lives.
17:29Attorney Ira,
17:30let's check the Veridano files.
17:32Please go to my office
17:33after you talk with Attorney Macias, okay?
17:35Okay, Attorney.
17:36I'll see you.
17:40Why is it not you?
17:42What happened?
17:44Why did the file disappear?
17:46I lost all my work.
17:49I have a deadline tomorrow.
17:51I'm sorry, Lorette.
17:53That's not our problem anymore.
17:55Let's go, Trixie.
17:56Attorney Patrick is waiting for us.
18:11It's just a matter of time
18:12before my cubicle disappears.
18:15I'll just go get a cup of coffee
18:17from the pan.
18:18I'll be right back.
18:19It's just a matter of time
18:20before my cubicle disappears.
18:23I'll just go get a cup of coffee
18:24from the pan.
18:25Let's eat.
18:26I'll be right back.
18:28I'm sure all the files are in my laptop.
18:32I don't believe Ira.
18:34Belay,
18:35let's eat.
18:36Let's eat.
18:37I think
18:39she's the one who's responsible for all of this.
18:43Auntie,
18:44you really smell like sabotage.
18:47You know,
18:48your boss' daughter
18:51is always like that.
18:53She's always imitating me
18:54when it comes to character development.
18:57You're all so nice.
18:58Wow.
19:00Character development?
19:02That's a big word.
19:03Right?
19:05You want some?
19:06Lorette,
19:07if that's how toxic
19:08your colleagues at work are,
19:10it's better for you to leave
19:13and find another job.
19:16Excuse me,
19:18my son is not a quitter.
19:21Why would he leave
19:22if he didn't do anything wrong?
19:25And one more thing,
19:26if he changes his firm,
19:29that means
19:30he's letting the people
19:32who are hurting him win.
19:38Son,
19:41don't give up.
19:44You've been through
19:46a lot of trials.
19:48Some of them
19:49are even tougher
19:51than what you're facing.
19:53And all of that
19:54you've overcome.
19:58Just
19:59be strong.
20:01And I know
20:02you can think of a solution
20:05to your problem.
20:07And show it to everyone
20:09who's hurting you
20:10that no matter
20:11what they throw at you,
20:14you can do it.
20:15Yes.
20:17Right?
20:18Yes.
20:19Right, son?
20:22Let's eat, son.
20:24Let's eat.
20:28And like I said,
20:29Attorney Meredith Simmons
20:30will now be in charge.
20:32Thank you for your dedication
20:34and I look forward
20:35that you all
20:37give her your full cooperation.
20:39Again,
20:40thank you, everyone.
20:52Good morning, everyone.
20:53Welcome to our
20:54first official meeting
20:56as one firm
20:57here at Keystone.
20:58Thank you for your trust
20:59and your warm welcome.
21:01Now, let's get down to business
21:03because we have a lot
21:04to cover today.
21:10And for our last
21:11order of business,
21:12I would like to get
21:13an update
21:14to our three
21:15junior associates.
21:17Namely,
21:18Attorney Portales,
21:20Attorney Matias,
21:22and Attorney Canete.
21:24All of you
21:25will be given
21:26assignments
21:27because I want
21:28to get to know all of you,
21:29not just our
21:30senior and junior partners.
21:33So,
21:34I would like to
21:35ask all of you
21:36to fill out
21:37the assignment
21:38for our
21:39senior and junior partners.
21:41Attorney Matias,
21:42can you please
21:43give us an update
21:44on the case strategy opinion
21:46for Agoncillo Cement
21:48as well as
21:49the Pinoy Crypto Ventures?
21:52We need to know
21:53all of their investment contracts.
21:56Do you have it?
22:01This is going to be fun.
22:04We don't have all day.
22:05Where is it?
22:06Because…
22:07Where is it?
22:09Don't tell me you're going
22:10to give me excuses.
22:11I gave you specific instructions
22:13that we need today.
22:15Where is it?
22:20Where is it?
22:21Did you do it or not?
22:37So, tell me.
22:38How are things
22:39at the new firm?
22:40Did Atty. Meredith
22:41agree with
22:42Lelette's request?
22:44In the past,
22:45she was the star lawyer
22:46in the DNR.
22:47Now,
22:48she is just
22:49in charge
22:50of the head
22:51of Keystone.
22:52Why did you ask, ma'am?
22:53Why do you seem
22:54so interested
22:55in Atty. Meredith's
22:56request to Lelette?
22:57With all due respect,
22:58what you're doing
22:59to Atty. Matias
23:00is impossible.
23:02It's like you want
23:03to make her suffer
23:04unless you want her to fail.
23:05If you really want
23:06Lelette to know the truth,
23:07I can talk to her
23:08for you.
23:09I have a lot
23:10to explain to her.
23:12That's why
23:13I should be the one
23:14to say it.
23:16We need a strategy
23:17that not only
23:18defends our client,
23:19but also upholds
23:20our ethical standards.
23:22Is your game plan
23:23always like this?
23:24For example,
23:25you're being bullied
23:27so that you're the ally?
23:29Even when
23:30doing the right thing
23:31doesn't make you weak.
23:32Do you know what's wrong?
23:33You're being bullied
23:34so that you can
23:35beat others?
23:37That's the real bullying.
