00:00You're a liar, the story isn't over
00:06It's not always a loss
00:09It's not always a win
00:13The legal opinion that I'm doing on my laptop
00:16is also the one that was taken by the client's counter affidavit.
00:20If you didn't take it, then what is this?
00:23It's time for you to pay for all the sins you've done to me.
00:27You're a liar, you have no evidence.
00:30I do not appreciate you putting blame on others
00:33for something you are responsible for.
00:35So that's how you feel.
00:37It's already toxic in your office.
00:40What's your plan now?
00:54I came as soon as I received your text.
00:56I just told Patricia that I brought you supplements
00:59so that she wouldn't doubt why I came here.
01:03What's the problem?
01:05Did something happen?
01:09Then why did you ask me to come?
01:14I need a way to go to Lillet.
01:20I need your help.
01:24How can I help you?
01:46That's a very risky plan.
01:48I know it's risky
01:53but it's a risk I'm willing to take.
02:01What's going on here?
02:05I can hear someone talking.
02:10Ramir, are you okay?
02:14Is that you?
02:23You're back.
02:25The story isn't over yet.
02:28It's not over yet.
02:31Someone fell in love with you.
02:47I can't make a mistake.
02:49I heard someone talking in the hallway.
02:52Ramir, is that you?
02:55Answer me.
03:01I'm the one you heard on the phone.
03:04I was talking to my assistant.
03:06My phone has a problem
03:08and I can only hear the other line
03:11if it's on speaker mode.
03:13Is it really you, Ivan?
03:16Yes.
03:18And why would you think it's Ramir?
03:25Look at him.
03:28Does he look well to you?
03:31If Ramir is a good speaker
03:35and I'm one of the first to laugh
03:38but it looks like his condition hasn't improved yet.
03:48I'm sorry.
04:18I'm sorry.
04:48You're the one I chose for the assignments I'll give you.
04:52First of all, I want you to write a legal opinion
04:55for our client who wants to merge with another company.
04:59I would also like you to draft a case strategy opinion
05:03on the strengths and weaknesses of the Agoncillo Cement Dispute.
05:07After that, prepare a case strategy opinion
05:10on the strengths and weaknesses of the Agoncillo Cement Dispute.
05:14After that, prepare a case strategy opinion
05:17on the strengths and weaknesses of the Agoncillo Cement Dispute.
05:21After that, prepare a case strategy opinion
05:24on the strengths and weaknesses of the Agoncillo Cement Dispute.
05:28Did you steal my laptop?
05:30What the hell are you talking about?
05:32Don't deny it.
05:34I lost everything I worked on.
05:36You're the one who can do that.
05:38Be careful when you're on the train.
05:40I didn't do anything.
05:42You're the one who can do that.
05:44You're the one who can do that.
05:46This is part of me.
05:48I'm ready for the rematch.
05:50Anytime, anywhere, at any time.
05:53Attorney.
05:54Attorney Matias?
05:56This doesn't look like a counter affidavit.
05:58Please check it.
06:02How did that happen?
06:04You're wrong.
06:06You can't even be accountable for it.
06:09Is it worth it for me to continue this?
06:12Even if I'm not happy anymore?
06:15I don't know.
06:37Now for the last thing on our agenda
06:40is whether or not and how to sanction
06:42Atty. Lilette Matias for failing to submit the counter affidavit for our esteemed client,
06:48the Philippine Mega Model Agency.
06:51We have to decide on this because it's very important.
06:55Remember, in our first general meeting, I assigned three associates for certain tasks
07:03and only Atty. Lilette Matias failed.
07:10So do we sanction her?
07:12And if so, what should we give her as a consequence for having failed to submit something very
07:19important for our client?
07:22We have to, of course, take care of the reputation of our client.
07:26Atty. Mur, according to this report, Atty. Matias and Atty. Ignacio filed a motion for
07:32extension.
07:33And the latest update, the City Prosecutor approved a 10-day extension in the interest
07:46of justice.
07:47So why do we still need to punish Atty. Lilette when the problem has been solved?
07:52You are right, Atty. Constantino, the situation has been rectified, but we still cannot deny
07:58the fact that something was not submitted.
08:03And this is a case where Atty. Matias has to face the consequences.
08:08I agree with Atty. Mayor.
08:10I also talked to the Philippine Mega Models Agency, and they want an answer in case there
08:16is a negative impact on the image of Jonah Castillo.
08:20If they're even threatening to drop us as their official legal representative,
08:25there will be a huge loss to Keystone if that happens.
08:28Because like I said, PMMA is one of our biggest clients.
08:32So, I recommend that we impose a sanction commensurate to the mistake.
08:39And we are doing this so that it won't happen again and it won't be accepted by others.
08:45All I'm saying is, let's take into consideration the character and history of Atty. Lilette Matias.
08:52She's always been a reliable lawyer.
08:55In fact...
08:56Look, Atty. Cons, I know Atty. Matias has your back.
09:00Because she used to be your scholar and fairly one of your star lawyers.
09:05But you cannot be protective of her.
09:08We make decisions as Keystone.
09:10We belong to one firm now.
09:12No more Lab. No more D&R.
09:15Just Keystone.
09:18And here at Keystone, we have to be fair and objective.
09:22Regardless of whether the lawyer is tenured or not, star or not,
09:27those requirements are not the primary considerations.
09:31That's how it is.
09:32Whoever makes a mistake will face the consequences.
09:36It's just a coincidence that this time it is Atty. Matias.
09:40So, what kind of example are we trying to set here?
09:43Because of a small mistake, we're going to remove our star lawyer?
09:49Our star lawyer?
09:50Well, any mistake is going to affect the image of Keystone, trivial or not.
09:56And any wrong information about how we manage situations internally
10:01may reach clients whose reactions we have absolutely zero control over.
10:06So yes, for the sake of Keystone's integrity...
10:09No, no.
10:10You're recommending that we remove Atty. Matias from this firm?
10:19Hi, we have a 10 o'clock appointment with Dr. Valdez.
10:23Yes, Mrs. Engano.
10:25Yes, that's right.
10:26Please wait.
10:30Paging Mrs. Patricia Engano.
10:32Please proceed to the nurse's station on the third floor.
10:36Okay.
10:48Paging Mrs. Patricia Engano.
10:50Please proceed to the nurse's station on the third floor.
10:53Miss, do you have any idea why they're paging me?
10:56No, ma'am.
10:58Okay.
10:59I'll leave my husband with you for now.
11:02I'll just go up to the third floor.
11:05Okay, ma'am.
11:06Paging Mrs. Patricia Engano.
11:07Please proceed to the nurse's station on the third floor.
11:10Paging Mrs. Patricia Engano.
11:11Please proceed to the nurse's station on the third floor.
11:24Thank God it worked.
11:40Oh, sorry.
11:41Sorry.
11:42Sorry.
11:43Miss, miss, miss.
11:44Sorry, the coffee spilled.
11:45Maybe there's a spill.
11:46Can you call the cleaning lady or the cleaner?
11:49Okay, I'll just go look for the cleaner.
11:52Sorry, Sarah.
11:53Sorry.
11:56I've been waiting for my car outside.
11:58Let's go to the convention before Patricia comes back.
12:01I'm sorry, sir.
12:02I'm sorry.
12:03I'm sorry.
12:04I'm sorry.
12:05I'm sorry.
12:06I'm sorry.
12:07I'm sorry.
12:08I'm sorry.
12:09Patricia will come back.
12:27Oh, my.
12:28I'm just tired of going to that third floor.
12:31You know, when I go there, nobody looks for me.
12:35It's weird.
12:37Is my husband inside?
12:39Did he already check out?
12:40Huh?
12:41Can I go inside with him?
12:43Ma'am, your husband is not inside yet.
12:45Huh?
12:46How can he not be inside?
12:47Didn't I ask him to come here because I went to the third floor?
12:51I thought you asked him to go outside the clinic.
12:55How can that happen?
12:56I can't do that.
12:57I went to the third floor.
12:59Where's my husband?
13:00Ma'am, I don't know where your husband is.
13:03Where's Ramir?
13:04What happened to him?
13:05It's better if we call him.
13:07Okay, okay.
13:08Hurry up.
13:17Are you okay, Ramir?
13:19I'm okay.
13:21Let's hurry up, please.
13:23Okay, okay.
13:25I just hope there's no traffic going to Lilet's house.
13:30No.
13:32She's not at home anymore.
13:35She went to the office.
13:37I'm sure she's there.
13:40Alright.
13:41I'll take you to their new office.
13:44Keystone Law Firm.
13:47Keystone?
13:48Yes.
13:49Keystone.
13:51Lilet's former firm and Meredith's legal NGO formed a new partnership.
13:58Well, they work together now.
14:00It's better that way.
14:03I can talk to both of them at the same time.
14:07They'll find out the truth.
14:11Okay.
14:14That's Ramir, my husband.
14:17My God.
14:19Do you know this man?
14:22He's Ivan.
14:23He's our family friend's lawyer.
14:26He's my husband's partner.
14:30It looks like your Mr. and Mrs. were forced to do this.
14:34You can see from the video that they don't talk to men.
14:38And your husband didn't resist to join them.
14:41But how did that happen?
14:45I thought all this time,
14:47Ramir hasn't talked to anyone.
14:50He's not good yet.
14:52I heard someone talking in the hallway.
14:55I'm the one you heard, Patricia, on the phone.
14:58They're so stupid.
15:00They planned this.
15:03Ma'am, I'm sorry.
15:05We can't do anything
15:07if your husband joined the men.
15:10Why don't you contact them?
15:12Do you have any idea where they're going?
15:28What did you say was important?
15:31Yes.
15:33Don't kill us with suspicions, Dilet.
15:35What is that?
15:38At this time,
15:40there's a meeting
15:42with the senior partners of Keystone.
15:45They're deliberating
15:47on what will be my sanction
15:49for my mistake.
15:51Do you have the results, Atrey and Dilet?
15:53Daddy is there, right?
15:55I'm sure he won't let you go.
15:56I know, Inu.
15:58But I can't wait
16:00for the results of their meeting.
16:04What do you mean?
16:07That's why I met the three of you.
16:10Because I want you to be the first ones to know
16:15where I'm going to leave Keystone
16:18when I resign.
16:19Atrey and Dilet,
16:21if you leave,
16:23who will be my mentor?
16:25Are you sure about that?
16:27That's too bad.
16:29I won't have a good partner here in Keystone.
16:32Dilet, maybe you can reconsider your decision.
16:36Yes, I'm used to you being there.
16:39I don't want to be alone.
16:41I don't want to be alone.
16:43I don't want to be alone.
16:45I don't want to be alone.
16:47I don't want to be alone.
16:49I don't want to be alone.
16:51I don't want to be alone.
16:53And I'm sure mommy and daddy won't be happy
16:55if you leave.
16:58It's true.
17:01Mommy, I feel bad
17:04because I have a lot of friends here.
17:08I feel bad for
17:10Ms. Lorena and Atty. Constantino
17:13because they were the first ones
17:14to give me a chance.
17:15But a lot of bad things happened.
17:19If I stay,
17:22my mental health will suffer.
17:27So to avoid stress and negativity,
17:32I will leave.
17:36As long as, Dilet,
17:38whatever your decision is,
17:42I will always support you.
17:43KKK is always open for you.
17:48Thank you, Bon.
18:00It seems like we are divided in our decision.
18:04Atty. Ronna is recommending
18:06that we sanction Atty. Matias.
18:09And Atty. Constantino is saying that
18:11perhaps we should give her another chance.
18:15We have to decide now as Keystone.
18:21Why don't we just vote for it?
18:23And whatever the majority decision is,
18:26then we just follow it.
18:27I agree with Atty. Spanky.
18:30So, let's have a vote.
18:33Those in favor of Atty. Ronna's advice
18:35to sanction Atty. Matias,
18:37please raise your hand.
18:41Okay.
18:43And all those in favor of
18:45Atty. Constantino's recommendation
18:47to give her another chance,
18:49please raise your hand.
18:51And remember,
18:52this will be a precedent
18:54for future things to happen
18:56just in case we encounter
18:57something like this again.
19:05There seems to be a tie.
19:08Okay.
19:09There seems to be a tie.
19:156-6.
19:17But you haven't voted yet, Atty. Merck.
19:19And as the presiding officer,
19:21you have the power to break the tie.
19:24So, what is your decision going to be?
19:27Vote to give a warning
19:29to Atty. Matias?
19:31Or will you vote to impose
19:33a sanction and set a precedent
19:35for Keystone?
19:39Okay.
19:45You can take care of our clients for now.
19:47Okay.
19:59Merck,
20:01can I talk to you?
20:03Well, actually,
20:05I will call you.
20:07Our deliberations are done
20:08and we have come to a final decision.
20:11I'm not interested
20:13in knowing your decision.
20:16I just want to give you
20:18my personal information.
20:32What is this?
20:35My resignation letter.
20:38I've decided
20:40to leave Keystone.
20:50You're resigning?
20:53I'm sorry for the suddenness.
20:55But I assure you
20:57that I've thought this through.
21:00Before I leave,
21:02I just want to thank you.
21:06What for?
21:08For everything.
21:11You don't know
21:13but it has had a huge impact
21:15on my life.
21:18You were the one
21:20who taught me
21:22how to fight.
21:24You were also my inspiration
21:26to become a lawyer.
21:31To be honest,
21:34my dream
21:36to become a lawyer
21:38was not a job
21:40but my idol.
21:44And now,
21:47I've realized
21:51that the world is too small
21:53for the two of us to be together.
21:58So, while I still have
22:00my pride and respect,
22:02I will leave.
22:05I don't want the day
22:06to come
22:09when we'll be together
22:11and we'll be broken.
22:36I love you.
22:54I love you, Lady Justice.
23:06I love you.
23:27Your wife probably knows already
23:28that I helped you.
23:30Patricia is smart.
23:32She probably knows
23:33where Lynette is going.
23:34Let's hurry.
23:35She's smart.
23:36She can talk now.
23:38And I suspect
23:39that she's going to the kitchen
23:41to talk to Lynette
23:42and your mom
23:43to reveal
23:44that they're having an affair.
23:45What?
23:47Really?
23:49Ramir?
23:51Don't go.
23:52Why?
23:53What's the problem?
23:54I forgot to bring
23:55my office laptop.
23:56I need to surrender it
23:57to HR.
23:58What do we do?
23:59Should we go back to Keystone?
24:00Is it okay?
24:02Of course.
24:03Is that Patricia?
24:06What is she doing here?
