Damn you, Mario!
You're too much!
I just gave you your allowance the other day.
Now, you're asking for more?
You think money comes out of my ass?
Son of a bitch!
Take your seat.
You have no idea how hard it is for me to earn money.
I worked hard for it.
I've invested my sweat and blood just to give you what you want.
Your clothes
Your money, your allowance
All the stuff in this house
you could lose all of it.
But if you know how to use your brain,
no one can take that away from you!
That's the only legacy I can leave you.
You idiot!
I'm sick and tired of hearing your mother complaining every day.
Right, Chabeng?
Your mom is so worried about you.
You come home late.
You don't help out in the store.
All you do is try to be cute! What's with you?
Stop fooling around.
When I was young
it was your grandma who sent me to school.
You're lucky you have parents who pay for your studies.
This idiot. All you do is try to be cute!
You think you're handsome?
I still look far better than you.
Asshole.
Get out of my sight, I don't want to talk to you anymore.
Go up to your room now!
To your room!
Now!
Arrogant.
When you're 18,
you don't care about other people.
You only see what you want to see.
Whatever excites you.
Whatever looks good.
You are not yet aware of what is actually around you.
You just don't care about the world yet.
You're free.
Embarrassing as it may be,
this was when I started peeping.
There's a saying–
''The eyes are the windows to one's soul.''
They say that there's beauty in everything.
But not everyone has the ability to see it.
Hey, get up now.
Or your boss will knock your head off.
But you already knocked my head off.
Fuck you!
Hurry, go get ready.
Istepanie–
''STE-FA-NEE!''
Thanks for...
- For? - Coming.
Jerk!
Got to go now. I have work.
When I come home okay... later.
Promise, after work. I'll be late.
Damn!
You like this, don't you?
I said later.
- Here you go. There. - Ouch!
Hello, Ma'am? Good morning!
Hello, Manda. Are you fully awake?
Come over, I want to show you something.
Wide awake, Ma'am!
Coming.
This is still Peeping...
But this time we're high tech!
Why is it like that?
Everything seems to be pretty normal.
Might be a bit less. Might be just right.
You don't know.
You just go with the flow.
Then one day, it can all change in the blink of an eye.
You're no longer the same as how you were before.
Chief Torre, good morning!
This is Sgt. Ara Lazaro.
And she will be a part of this assignment.
You may take your seat.
Okay, attention!
This is Salvador Ventura A.K.A Badong.
35 years old, single, businessman.
Art smuggler by day, drug trafficker by night.
We've been tailing him for six months now.
And finally,
the agency was able to put audio and video surveillance devices
in their house slash drug den on San Isidro street,
in one of the alleys in Caloocan City.
And we're expecting a big transaction very soon.
Most probably with a big fish–
a prominent public official.
But we can't be too sure about it.
So, we need a lot more surveillance work.
So, our station will be a block away from the target nest.
- Victoriano and Ureta. - Ma'am?
You will be assigned during the day.
- You will be Team Uno. - Copy.
Manda, Lazaro, night shift.
- Team Dos. - Copy, Ma'am.
You all know the drill. Any questions?
Ma'am, why does it have to be Manda
who gets to partner with the new...
You have a problem with that?
- I'm just kidding. - How about you?
Okay, we're done.
You son of a bitch, I'm not an addict!
You son of a bitch, I'm not an addict!
Keep moving!
I'm not an addict!
Oh, don't treat him like that.
- You son of a bitch! - That's enough, Ma'am.
- You're an addict! Addict! - Ma'am!
- Son of a bitch! - Ma'am, stop.
You can't even find a job! You moron!
You invited me for coffee but you ordered a cold drink.
It suddenly feels so hot.
- Yeah, right. - Here, wanna try?
No thanks, I'm good with my coffee.
I'm also getting hot in here.
It might be good for us to hang out a little
since we will be working together in the next few nights.
True.
Can you take that camera off your neck, please?
Do you always have to carry that with you?
Oh, sorry. It's a habit.
Hobby or habit?
Or work-related?
''Both of them three.''
This was actually given to me by my father.
This is what I wanted to be when I was growing up.
I like taking pictures.
I once dreamed of working for a newspaper.
But newspapers are not a thing anymore these days.
Everything now is online, even the news.
So true.
So how did you end up here?
My Uncle Johnny is a cop.
Why are you not clean-cut?
I'm undercover.
I see.
So, what characters have you played so far?
I was once a vendor, a homeless man.
A bum.
Where?
In the Bergong Bridge, in Las Piñas.
And your cover has never been cracked?
Method acting.
Well, you do look like a...
Hey, watch your words.
You do look like a good actor.
Kinda.
How about you, where have you been before?
Just desk jobs.
This is my first time out on the field.
I think I can learn a lot from you.
But of course.
Remember the saying–
''If you are not willing to learn, no one can help you.''
''But if you are determined to learn, no one can stop you!''
Nice! I already learned something new!
There's actually one more, it goes–
''In learning, you will teach. And in teaching, you will learn!''
- That was a good one. - And here's another–
''No amount of learning can cure stupidity.''
I have also read–
''We meet stupid people every day.''
Then?
That's it.
Nice.
That's very... enlightening.
Ara.
Got to go, Brad is here. I'll go ahead now.
- Okay. - See you.
- Hello, babe. - Hi!
Hello.
- How are you? - Good.
- Shall we? - Let's go.
Alright.
Here's the log. Did you log in?
Don't forget, just put everything there.
What's taking him so long?
- Still not here? - I bet he won't show up.
I can work overtime.
Me too.
We rented a tenement unit that has a billiard hall underneath.
So, we can monitor Badong's drug den
which is located around a busy area.
Near a cafeteria, a store and a tricycle terminal.
Where there are lots of people.
All kinds of people.
Hello!
I'm Jen, Landlady.
- Hi! I'm Mario. - Hi, Mario.
