The Write One

Savana, can we talk?

He really looks familiar.

He went viral last week.

People hate him because he's a land grabber.

Liam Herrera, land grabber.

Mom, why are people obsessed with Savana?

It feels like I've known her for a long time.

I'm so fond of her.

She's so familiar to me.

Savana, I want you to meet Liam, my boyfriend.

I sympathize with the poor.

That's why I don't understand how you could do that

to the residents of Sitio Verde.

I'm sorry for whatever our company did.

You don't need to explain.

I just want to call you out because what you did was wrong.

So I'm giving you a second chance, Liam.

Are you reinstating me in Casa Fuerte?

No, but I will assign you to one of our other companies...

Blacksmith Productions.

Via.

Love!

What are you doing here?

My dad told me to come.

He said it was for a meeting.

I think he's taking a movie project.

Is that right?

Yes.

And Via will be the head stylist.

She's going to be in charge of our actors' overall look.

Looks like it's big-budgeted.

Congressman Dela Peña!

Vergil.

How are you?

I'm glad my godson, Tristan's movie project in Blacksmith will now push through.

It better be a hit.

Tristan's success in the next elections for congressman depends on that film.

What can I say?

He looks up to his godfather so much.

- -Of course, Uncle Ramon.

Well, everything depends on the creative manager of Tristan's movie.

That's Liam.

So...

This is where Danilo dumped you.

Dad.

I'm excited to meet my next leading lady.

Shall we?

After you, son.

Let's go.

And after all the oppression the mayor has done,

Leon will rise up from the dead

to save his beloved Jackie and free his fellowmen.

That's the end of the presentation.

What do you think?

It's an exciting story,

and I can feel the significance of my role.

Wait, how many fight scenes will I have in the movie?

Three fight scenes, two car chases,

and one long take rooftop chase where goons will gang up on you.

Plus, a fight scene while in a helicopter.

Action-packed!

Do I have a love scene here?

What a narcissist.

Uhm...

Vergil, the plot is somehow similar to my recent film, Tough Guy.

Instead of a politician,

can the villain be a businessman?

We don't want to ruffle feathers.

No problem, Congressman.

The details are not set in stone.

It can still change.

Good thing Liam is here to take note of the revisions.

Right, Liam?

Good.

Okay, so...

Savana, what do you think?

I need time to think.

Excuse me.

Uhm, excuse me.

Excuse me for a while.

Savana.

Savana, what drama is this?

I won't do that project, Mom.

Why?

The story isn't good.

Oh, come on.

When did you become picky with projects?

-I won't do it. -What do you mean?

Tell me why.

Mom, it's because...

Because of Liam and Vergil Herrera.

They're the ones who grabbed the lands in Sitio Verde.

What do we have to do with that?

Why?

You know how it feels not to have a permanent home, Mom.

We get kicked out every month.

And now you want me to work with those opportunists?

Why? Did they take away your house?

What about my advocacies?

We both know that from the very start,

all I want is to help the oppressed.

Why? Are you planning to run for Congress?

-God, Savana. -Mom, please listen to me!

No, you listen to me!

If you don't want to lose your house like the informal settlers you're defending,

go back inside.

Smile and tell them you love the project!

I'll be a hypocrite if I do that, Mom.

I won't work with the Herreras.

You can't back out anymore.

You already signed a contract with Blacksmith

even before the news about Casa Fuerte broke out.

I can buy my contract.

Listen to me.

This is a big project.

Congressman Dela Peña handpicked you to become the leading lady of this film.

He's an influential man.

Now, I'll give you two choices.

You choose.

You'll finish this project and still have your career,

or you'll go down.

Wrong timing.

Savana won't accept this project anymore.

What made you say that?

We know other actresses.

Oh, anyway, who knows, Congressman...

It's a go.

Good!

I'm glad you accepted the project.

We'll have so much fun.

Looking forward to working with you, Congressman Dela Peña.

The pleasure is mine, dear.

I'm excited to work with you, Savana.

Us, too.

We're excited to work with Blacksmith.

Oh, okay?

Thank you very much.

Uh, thank you, thank you, thank you.

I didn't expect that Savana would accept that project.

Why, Boss Bro?

It's work.

I don't know. Something feels off.

Off?

Who wrote that story?

It's so unconvincing.

Leave it be.

Just be grateful that Señor Danilo didn't fire you after what happened.

But he made me work for my brother.

It's only my first day, but I want to resign already.

Don't you ever think about that.

Isn't this what you want?

To make a film?

-This is your chance, Boss Bro. -Not this kind of movie, Borj.

And I can't stand Tristan Perez.

He has an annoying presence.

Right?

You're so silly.

But what about you, Borj?

What?

How are you in Casa Fuerte?

I'm currently doing nothing.

Doing nothing?

You mean you're no longer in Casa Fuerte?

Yes.

What's the use of being an assistant if I have no one to assist, right?

Then you can be my assistant in Blacksmith.

Don't kid me like that, Boss Bro.

You know what I'll say.

Don't you want it? I won't force you.

No, I'll take the job.

-Are you sure? -Yes!

-Game! -Maybe you don't want it.

-Just forget about it. -No, no, no.

Let's go.

Hey.

Thank you, Boss Bro!

Take it easy.

-Take it easy. -Thank you!

Do you want coffee?

-Will you pay for it? -Yes, it's on me.

Sure.

-Buy me coffee. -Boss Bro!

You keep putting your arm on my shoulder.

Come on, Boss Bro. Let's have coffee!

I won't put my arm on your shoulders anymore.

Go that way. I'll buy you coffee.

If you'll pay for it.

Whoo!

Auntie, have some water.

Son!

Liam.

Son!

Goodness...

Congratulations!

Via told me that you'll make a film with Savana in Blacksmith.

Let me tag along when you film it, okay?

Sure, Mom.

Okay.

Sorry, I told her before you could.

It's good news anyway.
