00:00Congrats on your promotion, Atty. Kirk.
00:22I really believe that you deserve to be the Senior Associate of Keystone Law.
00:26Thank you, Atty. Patrick.
00:28Congratulations.
00:57Congratulations, Atty. Kirk.
01:00You're not dreaming.
01:02This is real.
01:05Now, aren't you glad that you left your loyalty to Keystone and not to Lileth?
01:12Maybe if you continue to help your friend, Killer,
01:17do you think you can achieve this promotion?
01:24I don't think so.
01:27Congrats.
01:29Hi, Patrick.
01:32Are you okay?
01:35You don't seem happy with your promotion.
01:43What do you know about Lorena?
01:48I know you didn't kill Marybeth.
01:58You can't do that.
02:01And I'm ashamed.
02:04I want to apologize to you because I can't do anything to help you.
02:13My hands are tied because Konstantino is connected to Keystone.
02:24That's fine.
02:26I understand your situation.
02:30I'm glad that you allowed me.
02:34We're family, right?
02:37You're like a brother to me.
03:07Don't worry.
03:20I'll take care of our friend here.
03:22We understand your loyalty to Atty. Matias.
03:25But you're also part of Keystone.
03:27Kirk, I don't want you to get involved.
03:29I don't want to get in your way.
03:32So, just follow their orders.
03:35Atty. Ignacio, if you choose to defy our directives, we may have no choice but to consider termination.
03:42I'm glad that you're given more opportunities.
03:47You deserve it.
03:48It's for your future.
03:54If you don't have a favor to ask, please drink the medicine I gave you.
04:10I didn't expect you to bring this.
04:14Does this mean you're not mad at me?
04:23Are you making fun of me?
04:27Do you really think that I came here to fight with you?
04:32If that's the case, why are you here?
04:36I just wanted to tell you that I hope that you're done with all your attempts in life.
04:43Because a killer like you has no right to stay in this world.
04:49Really, Ira?
04:51Is that why you're so mad at me?
04:54Is that why you're praying that something bad will happen to me?
04:58Yes, Lilet.
05:00Because even if you get stuck in a hole, it's never going to be enough.
05:06Because for me, you are the worst person in the world.
05:14And every time I look at you, I remember how you killed my mother.
05:21So, you don't deserve to live.
05:24I hope you just die.
05:26We both want the same thing.
05:30I want to be the last one to die for my mother.
05:34So, instead of getting mad at you, let's just help each other.
05:39Stop being dramatic, Lilet.
05:41You won't be able to get me, and you won't be able to consent to your victims.
05:46That's enough, Ira.
05:50We can't use justice in this way.
05:55Let's just help each other.
05:58Don't be emotional.
06:00We're still going to fight.
06:01Because I will destroy your life.
06:03And I will make sure that you will rot here in prison,
06:06so that you won't be able to see your ugly face.
06:09Get out of here.
06:11What?
06:12Don't hurt her, Lilet.
06:15Get out of here.
06:18Get out of here before I call security to get you out.
06:24What are you doing here, Kirk?
06:26Didn't Keystone forbid you to communicate with him because he's our enemy?
06:32My biggest mistake is that I listened to you and I followed your orders.
06:39And I also regret that I left Lilet in the air.
06:43Because I believe that she's innocent and she's not guilty.
06:49I am here now as her friend and as her lawyer.
06:57So, stay the hell away from her, okay?
07:01You can't be an ally of that criminal.
07:05Maybe you forgot, Kirk.
07:07You work for Keystone.
07:09And Keystone is representing a case against her.
07:14Don't worry.
07:16There won't be a conflict of interest anymore because I just emailed Attorney Constantino about my resignation.
07:24You resigned from Keystone?
07:31I never should have abandoned you in the first place.
07:36As a lawyer, I have a sworn duty to protect the victims of injustice.
07:45Lilet, from now on, you have a role in this case.
07:51I will do everything to get you out of this mess.
07:57Attorney, when will this hearing take place?
08:01Yes, Attorney.
08:03And what will really happen while the case is being heard?
08:06Can't I just let Besty be free for a while?
08:11The case filed against Lilet is a parricide.
08:15According to our law, your case is non-bailable.
08:19That means, it's not a matter of right of appeal.
08:24She will remain detained while the trial is ongoing.
08:27It's like what happened to you the other day.
08:31My daughter is pitiful.
08:35It's like she's being punished because she's in jail.
08:41I hope it won't take long.
08:44It's like what happened to me when Lilet handled my case.
08:49Don't worry, Ms. Ces.
08:53We will apply for a petition for bail.
08:56There will be a bail hearing.
08:59We will decide if Lilet will be allowed to be free for a while.
09:06Thank you for everything you've done for us, Kurt.
09:13You're welcome.
09:18I just want you to manage your expectations.
09:25This fight won't be easy.
09:30Our opponent is tough.
09:34Are you saying that our case is weak?
09:40It's not like that.
09:43I'm just laying out the facts.
09:46I'm one of the best criminal lawyers in the country, Attorney Renan Alon.
09:52Other than that, I help him with his case.
09:58But I won't give up.
10:01I will do my best to help Lilet defend herself in court.
10:11Me too, Attorney.
10:14I won't let Lilet lose.
10:18I will do everything to free her.
10:24And I know the person I need to get close to.
10:32Ms. Ces, what are you planning to do?
10:38What are you planning to do?
10:56Attorney Ignacio, you know I can't believe that you changed the keystone to become the co-counsel of Attorney Lilet.
11:03Some would say that's career suicide.
11:05This is not career suicide, Attorney Renan.
11:08This is called fulfilling my sworn duty to protect the innocent and fight for justice.
11:16I see. But are you ready for the fight?
11:20Do you know what you're doing?
11:23I'm curious to know, Attorney. Please indulge me.
11:26How does a rookie like you expect to win against a seasoned criminal lawyer like myself?
11:31I know you have more experience than I do.
11:34But I have one big advantage that you don't have.
11:37And that is?
11:41Truth is on my side.
11:44Because Lilet is truly innocent.
11:48I'm confident that I can absolve her.
11:53We'll see.
11:56Good luck.
12:07This court has taken note of all the arguments raised by both parties regarding the petition for bail of the accused.
12:19Counsels, any further oral arguments for today's hearing?
12:26Your Honor, I would like to reiterate that we strongly oppose this petition for bail.
12:32As argued earlier, the pieces of evidence that we've gathered present a strong case for guilt against Attorney Lilet Matias.
12:39Therefore, she should not be eligible for bail.
12:42Your Honor, clearly the pieces of evidence presented by the prosecution does not equate to a strong evidence of guilt.
12:48As previously presented, there are several loopholes in the eyewitness testimony of Evelyn Magas.
12:57Therefore, it is not enough basis to deny the petition for bail of Attorney Matias.
13:03Your Honor, this case is about a brutal act committed in cold blood.
13:10If bail is granted, then the accused poses a significant threat of fleeing.
13:14Particularly given that the gravity of her charges are quite severe, Your Honor.
13:20Furthermore, it could also endanger public safety.
13:23Not to mention that it could set the dangerous precedent that violent crimes can be excused with monetary conditions.
13:31Your Honor, I implore you to please deny this petition for bail.
13:38Granting bail to Attorney Lilet Matias would be tantamount to setting a criminal free, Your Honor.
13:44And frankly, that's just something I vehemently believe that this court should never allow.
13:50♪
14:11Your Honor, what Attorney Allen said is preposterous.
14:15When he mentioned public safety, it's as if he has totally forgotten the physical structure of the accused.
14:23And the grant of bail being tantamount to setting a criminal free is a slip I may possibly expect from a new bar passer.
14:32A seasoned criminal lawyer should not loosely call an accused a criminal.
14:39The prosecution is clearly playing on fears and emotions.
14:43And supposes strong guilt of the accused is only anchored on the sole eyewitness testimony in which highly questionable.
14:54And most importantly, Attorney Lilet Matias deserves the chance to defend herself or should not be called or even referred to in passing as a criminal.
15:04Your Honor, let it be stated on the record and for Attorney Ignacio's benefit,
15:10that nowhere in my previous statement did I ever call the accused a criminal.
15:14Unless the word tantamount doesn't mean anything anymore.
15:17Your Honor, that's all.
15:20Attorney Matias.
15:25Your Honor, I understand the repercussions of non-appearance resulting to a trial in absentia.
15:31Most importantly, I don't have a reason to flee nor hide.
15:35For I am confident that I can prove myself innocent before this court.
15:40I am more than determined to see this case through so that I can start going after my mother's real killer.
15:48Your Honor.
15:50Yes, Attorney Allen.
15:52Although the accused claims that she has no intentions of fleeing,
15:55although the accused claims that she has no intentions of fleeing,
15:58unfortunately, intentions alone is just not sufficient to ensure that she will not jump bail.
16:05In fact, it is the prosecution's duty to ensure that this community is protected, Your Honor.
16:11And in good conscience, we cannot allow to release someone who has already shown a potential for violence, Your Honor.
16:17I urge you to please consider the implications of granting bail and deny this claim.
16:23If only, if only that the court would send the message that the privilege of bail should only be reserved to those who truly deserve it.
16:54Don't mind him.
16:56That's part of his tactics to intimidate us.
16:59Let's just focus.
17:03Having heard the oral arguments presented by both parties regarding the bail petition for the accused,
17:15Attorney Lillet Matias,
17:18I find it prudent to allow both parties to have more time to enable them to be able to present more witnesses to bolster their position.
17:37Clerk of Court, please schedule another hearing within two weeks' time.
17:45As you know, this is a system procedure.
17:49So the court will decide within 30 days from when we first convened.
17:58Until then, Attorney Lillet Matias remains in custody.
18:06This court is adjourned.
18:15The Court is adjourned.
18:45The Court is adjourned.
