Az első 200 sor.
Ten years since we went to law school...
Well, not all of us.
Josh failed the entrance exams
and became an actor instead.
Since then, Chris moved to New York.
He's coming home for a one-year leave.
Man, time flies.
Sometimes, I want to go back
to the carefree student life,
but then I remember, I like having money.
We're still on the facts of the case, Mr. Sandoval. Well?
Uh... sir...
Keep standing.
Class, I know you have first-day jitters in our electives today.
But how can we proceed with reasoning
if you don't even know the facts of the case?
Limayo, Francis.
Attorney.
Same question.
The RTC judge, subject of this case,
was relieved of his duties and was fined 40,000 pesos.
Okay. What was the reason for his suspension?
Um, sir, he was accused of corruption.
Okay, but he was not removed because of that, right?
What's the reason for the ruling?
Ah, sir... Sorry, sir.
I'll give you one more chance.
Um...
Keep standing.
Too bad.
Asuncion, Arvin. Stand up.
Sir.
What was the reason?
Uh, sir.
The SC ruled that he falls short of the fundamental requirements
of competence and objectivity because of mental health.
His odd beliefs.
What were his beliefs?
Uh, that he had three dwarf friends, sir.
Luis, Armand, and Angel.
Okay, good.
Now, we proceed with reasoning.
Is it because dwarves are not real?
If I believe in anything supernatural, is that grounds for disqualification?
No, sir.
There was no judgment about whether or not...
Louder, please.
No, sir.
There was no judgment about whether or not the dwarves are real.
But sir, he consults these dwarves for his rulings,
and judges are supposed to be guided by the law with detachment.
And there were also mental health specialists consulted for the ruling.
Good.
Come in.
Attorney Garcia, may I have a minute?
Yeah.
How's it going? Any news about Professor Hernandez?
Still nothing.
She's really not responding.
Now what?
Can you take over her political law class?
It's fine, but it's not really my specialty.
Is there no one else?
-All right. - Thank you.
Thank you.
Don't you know him?
Excuse me, sir.
Sir?
- -Sir?
Yeah?
Sorry to bother you, sir, but you're my idol.
Thank you.
I think you were the lead singer of...
What's that band again?
No, no, no. I was not a lead singer.
I'm an actor. Josh.
Josh Zuñiga of Balete Drive Love Story?
That was my favorite show! Oh, my God!
Thank you.
How many years ago was that?
I'm not sure. Uh...
seven, I guess?
Oh, my God. I feel so old!
Can I take a picture with you?
Sure.
He said yes!
Can we make it a group photo instead?
Okay, group photo.
Come closer.
Mm-hmm.
What's up with that? How rude!
He deserves to be a has-been.
You know what, I'll delete this. It's so ugly.
Let's go.
Okay?
You good?
Our terms are clear.
If you need me for anything legal, or if you want to meet the kids,
just message Attorney Sevilla, you have his number.
-Say goodbye now. -Bye.
Be good, okay?
-Behave, hmm? Okay? -Okay.
-Okay, let's go, kids. -Mama, we'll go all the way over there?
-Yeah. -Okay, we're going up now.
Let's go. Be careful! Careful!
Yes!
Rachel!
Wait here.
This is unfair.
You shouldn't be keeping them from me.
Our no-contact period already started, Chris.
-Rach-- - Let's go.
Yes. Come on.
Hey! If it isn't my favorite partner in the firm.
I left the firm a while ago.
Corporate work's just a side gig.
I'm non-profit.
Yes, that's actually why I'm calling.
Based on your last post, you're still working for that non-profit, right?
Yes, still here.
Have you heard from Justice Hernandez at all?
You were one of her students, right?
Yes, that's right.
You know, we have no idea what happened.
But here at the office, she just stopped showing up.
She hasn't been coming to school, either.
All her teaching load is with Torran now.
Yeah, that's actually the problem.
There is a labor union she's been representing for 20 years.
And I was with them when I was still an intern.
They asked me if I could step in.
I was wondering, would you be able to help take over the case?
Well, as of now...
I have...
237 cases.
Wow, so you can't... you can't take it?
You're too busy?
Huh?
No, that means I'm free and can take the case.
237 cases.
How do you sleep?
Come on, I have a friend at PAO.
He actually had a celebration because he just has 500 pending cases.
That's just how it is, it's normal.

Hello?
Mom! Mom...
Yes, you need anything?
Kurt, don't disturb your mommy.
She's making a song.
Come here, help Daddy.
You wait for Daddy, okay? Let me finish this.
Love, you good?
Yeah, I'm good.
I'll make it up to you tomorrow.
I'll take him there.
And I'll cook tinola for us!
No problem, I've got this! Get to work.
Sure?
Thank you.
- Okay, sorry. -
Let's continue.
Oh, wait, where were we?
Didn't you just brush your teeth?
Why are you chewing gum?
It's yummy.
But that's gum.
That's very messy.
If that...
No, I don't want to clean up after you after--
No, no. No!
No.
I don't think that will work.
Why not?
We can always make the claim that underage vaping is strongly discouraged.
Our warning labels have that too.
No liability.
That's fine.
We have friends at the Senate.
Attorney Supsupan.
Let me get this straight.
So you want our client to testify under oath
that we are not actively marketing this to kids and teens, right?
Yes, correct.
It's bubblegum-flavored vape.
I love bubblegum!
Boss, I get it.
Adults use it also.
But the question here is, who's our target market
if the packaging is neon-colored blue bubblegum?
You always have an issue.
You wanna know the truth?
We want you to show up on these committee hearings
because... you look good on camera.
The client requested it.
Just a pretty face. Nothing more.
Thanks, I guess. But...
Honestly, I'm sorry. I'm not comfortable with the claim.
So...
shall we give you a blanket to make you comfortable?
