The Broken Marriage Vow

So, that's why he wanted to be in charge of our finances.

He dissipated all of my savings and investments.

You gave your consent.

Your signature's on all the withdrawal

and bank transaction slips.

You'll get used to it eventually.

That's normal when you get pregnant.

I don't have to get used to it.

This will be over soon, anyway.

Lexy and I are on our way to the airport, doc.

She's leaving for the US today.

She'll be on the 8PM flight via Japan to LAX.

She's pushing through with the abortion.

What happened? - Lexy's leaving for the US.

Her flight's today.

Hello, David.

Go to the airport now.

Lexy's leaving the country.

We're closed, sir.

Where's that plane headed?

It's bound for Japan, but it'll stop at NAIA first.

Did a Lexy Lucero get on the plane that left just now?

I'm not at liberty to confirm that,

but everyone who booked that flight got on the plane.

None of them canceled.

Hello, Diane. - Your husband showed up, ma'am.

But he missed Lexy's flight.

You must have had a busy night.

Have you started with the construction?

My check deposit to Gino's account is going to be delayed.

Can you take care of it?

Do you have enough money? - Sure.

Right now, I only care about three things.

My dignity, my money, and my son.

Review its accuracy so we can start the process.

Once it's finalized,

we can proceed to the next step.

Can I go through it first? I'll return it tomorrow.

I can't reach Lexy's number.

She must be in the US by now.

She's probably terminating her pregnancy as we speak.

So, what's your plan now?

Are you sure you still want an annulment?

Your name please?

Alexis Lucero.

Okay. So, um...

Please change into your lab gown.

The doctor will prep you for anesthesia.

Doc Jill. - Diane.

Lexy's already in the US,

so there's no need for me to keep staying there.

Keep it.

So you can stay safe and save money on rent.

It's the least I can do for everything you've done for me.

Thank you, ma'am.

Take care of yourself, okay?

Don't go back to a man who constantly hurts you.

Grace, have you called

the Bureau of Environment Conservation?

I'm calling them now to confirm today's schedule, sir.

Uh, sir. They're on the line.

Hel-

Hello.

This is David Ilustre of Ilustre Contractors.

Yes, I need to talk to the mayor.

It's about the concern

my secretary raised with your office.

Environmental Task Force?

I thought you already gave us your approval

the last time you conducted the survey?

Alright. Thank you.

There's no point talking to them.

Here's what we'll do.

Grace, write a letter.

Then, we'll go meet the person who's in charge of the property.

We'll bribe them if we have to.

Yes, sir.

That's too risky, Sir David.

They might throw you under the bus

when things go downhill.

They can easily say that the locals filed a complaint.

Then let's find another location.

Try the vacant lot beside that one.

Yes, sir.

Now, go! Get back to work!

I just told you. The project is canceled.

For how long? I don't know.

In the meantime, we'll re-assign all our men

to our new project in La Union.

Is that clear, Anita?

Thank you. Bye.

Was that about David Ilustre's project?

What else?

You know what, sweetheart?

Even during his presentation,

something just didn't add up about him.

I don't know what exactly, but I felt it in my gut.

I was there, remember?

I heard that presentation.

It sounded okay.

Almost perfect.

Exactly.

It sounded too good to be true.

Just like the work of an amateur.

Oh no!

What will Doc Jill say?

Doc Jill has nothing to do with her husband's flaws.

And if that David Ilustre

is worth what he believes he's capable of,

he should show me he's willing to do everything he can

to fix the mess that he made...

before I make the call to the board.

Are you planning to make this your daily routine?

Tell me, Charlie.

What would you do...

if the woman you love wants to leave you?

And worse, she wants to abort your baby.

You know, I really thought she wouldn't leave without me.

But she did.

She's even aborting our baby.

Dude...

You'd be surprised to know what a desperate person

is willing to do.

They can even go against their principles

when they've reached their limit.

Look.

It may be hard to accept.

But, just think of it

as a blessing in disguise.

Just focus on what you can still save.

You're right.

The project.

I'll focus on saving that.

Ma, you're home.

You've got to watch this. It's really funny.

It's hilarious, right?

Ma. - Hmm?

You're not watching.

See? It's hilarious.

Ma, are you okay?

There's something I need to tell you, dear.

What is it?

Hold on.

It's Migs.

Jill...

I've been calling David for hours...

but he's not picking up.

I had no choice but to call you instead.

Why? What happened?

It's Mama.

She had a heart attack.

What?!

David, Jill.

What happened?

We were just having dinner

when Aunt Marina suddenly collapsed.

I'm sorry. Only staff are allowed here.

Get out. - Ma!

Just wait outside, sir.

David.

Jill.

What happened?

Mama collapsed.

I didn't know how to bring her here earlier

since my car broke down.

We're lucky Uncle let us borrow his.

Why didn't you call me?!

I did!

But you weren't picking up!

-

Ma...

Stay here, okay? We'll talk to the doctors.

Ma... - Ma!

Ma?

Doctor... - Oh.

Uh-- - Dr. Padua.

Dr. Ilustre. - She's my mother-in-law.

How is she? - Uh, Dr. Ilustre...

The patient suffered a stroke.

Let's all hope that it's not that severe.

For now, she needs to undergo some tests

to determine if there are any complications.

Mm-hmm.
