The Silent Noise

Did Mama tell you?

Sorry.

It was an accident, son.

Is Teacher Sam mad at me?

No. Never!

Teacher Sam loved you very much.

She would've gotten mad if she had found out

you were blaming yourself.

She knew it was all an accident.

You didn't mean to do it.

So, let's just keep this to ourselves.

Don't tell anyone else.

Only our family must know.

Good day, Mr. Carpio.

What do you need?

We'd like to invite you to the precinct.

You and Mrs. Carpio.

For what?

About Sam Ignacio's death.

Isn't that case already closed? Her brother already confessed.

We found new evidence.

We found Sam Ignacio's cell phone.

And we've seen some things from it

that I think

only you and your wife can clarify.

All right, then.

We'll come.

I'll go tell my wife.

Here we are, Professor Carpio.

This way, Mr. Carpio.

Wait, why... why do we have to be separated?

I believe your statements would remain consistent

even if you're interrogated separately, wouldn't they?

It's fine, Anton.

There's nothing wrong with it.

We created printouts of text messages

of Sam Ignacio and the person she referred to as B.

Here's B's message.

"Still have a migraine?"

Sam Ignacio's response,

"Better now.

Thanks for checking in."

B answered,

"Of course."

Here's another text from Sam Ignacio.

"I know we already agreed to be just friends."

Still, I just want to tell you that I love you.

You don't have to give me an answer.

"I just want you to know."

B replied,

"I also want you to know that I love you.

Even if this is as far as we could get."

This is the registered phone number

based on B's contact details.

- -

You and B share the same contact number

on Sam Ignacio's phone.

Your last messages to her

were on the night of the 10th of August.

On the night of her death.

You sent a message to her

that you would meet her at your favorite spot.

Based on your last message,

you were already at the parking area.

We also retrieved this from Sam's phone.

It was taken that night.

When we first asked you

when the last time you met up with Sam was

you gave us a different answer.

It's true that Sam and I loved each other.

I didn't tell you the truth

because I wasn't ready yet,

for my kids,

and for Anton to know.

I already knew about them.

I found out a few days before Sam died.

Okay.

Okay, then.

Next time.

Are you all right?

You sound different.

Okay. By the lighthouse.

All right, take care.

Hm? You going out?

No.

It got canceled.

Is that why you went to Los Pollos?

I know what this looks like.

And it's clearly not in my favor.

But Sam and I just talked.

As Jackie's husband,

I told her to stay away from my wife

and never show her face to my family again.

Does your wife know about this?

I just recently found out

that Anton knew about Sam and me.

Just recently.

Why didn't you tell your wife about it?

Mr. Carpio.

I don't know.

What about you, Chief?

If you were in my situation,

which one's easier?

To tell the person your wife loves to go away,

or to beg your wife to choose you knowing she wouldn't?

I chose my kids because I can't hurt them.

Is that why Sam was leaving?

I met with her that night to say goodbye.

Did you have an argument?

Did she force you to come with her?

Not at all.

Sam and I both agreed that we can't continue

whatever it is that we have between us.

We broke up on good terms.

So, Ms. Ignacio told you that she was leaving.

Why did you have to threaten her?

I just wanted to make sure that she'd keep her word.

Did you know that they would meet at the lighthouse

on the night Sam Ignacio died?

No.

He didn't.

Anton didn't know that Sam and I were going to meet that night.

He didn't.

Do you know what this is making me think, Mr. Carpio?

You had a hunch that your wife would meet up with Ms. Ignacio

at the lighthouse.

So you followed them.

As you have suspected,

you caught them together.

You got mad, saw red,

then pushed the poor teacher off the cliff.

And because your wife blames herself for everything,

she couldn't do anything but cover up

your murder of Ms. Ignacio.

That's a nice story, Chief.

The problem is…

You have no evidence.

Chief, we all know

that Sam Ignacio's case is a dead end.

Were you with someone when you met up with Sam?

No. No.

I went alone.

Did you not see anyone else in the area?

I pushed her.

I killed Teacher Sam.

No, I didn't.

I didn't notice anything either.

- Professor Carpio! - There!

- Ma'am! - We have a question!

Ma'am, sir, a statement, please!

Why did the police take your statement?

Do you have anything to do with Sam Ignacio's death?

Ma'am, is it true that you had an affair with Sam Ignacio?

- -

We have nothing to do with Sam Ignacio's death.

We are here to cooperate. That's all.

Our family was once a victim of false accusations.

We will now prove that our family is innocent.

- Sir, we have more questions! - Wait, sir!

- Ma'am, one more question! - Don't force them!

- Sir! - Ma'am!

Ma'am, do you have anything to say?

- Sir, please wait! - Ma'am, any words, please?

Ma'am, do you have a relationship...

Ma'am, just one statement, please!

Ma'am, even a short statement will do!

- Ma'am, wait! - Sir, please wait!

Married teachers at a state university,

identified as new suspects in Sam Ignacio's murder case.

We have nothing to do with Sam Ignacio's death.

We are here to cooperate. That's all.

- Sir, wait! - Ma'am, any comment?

- Ma'am, say something! - Ma'am, give us a statement!

Again?

What does that mean?

You were on the news.

What happened?

Don't worry about that.

What matters is that your dad and I are here for you.

Eli, why did you push me? Why?

Hello?

Mrs. Carpio,
