Linlang - First Season

Wow, the room is so big, Mommy!

Daddy said this is going to be my room.

Is that true, Mommy?

- - Uh...

Well, do you want to live here, dear?

Yes. Daddy said this is going to be our home now.

The house is nice, Mommy.

There's a backyard. We can play there.

Oh, can I have a pet dog now, Mommy?

You didn't get me one before

because our house was too small.

[SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES THEN FADES]

Oh.

I didn't know you kept this.

I gave this to you after we passed the bar exam, remember?

- -

Sylvia, have you spoken to your dad about my judgeship?

Tsk. He said we'd talk about that over lunch. Okay?

Thank you.

Uh, lunch today is at 12.

But Dad said he might come late.

So maybe around 12:30 or 1 PM.

Around that time.

Okay.

Son.

Ma.

Alex, I asked them to cook a proper breakfast for you.

I noticed you've just been having coffee in the morning.

Uh, Ma, he's used to just having coffee in the morning.

By the way, I got something for you yesterday.

Here, look.

According to the book I read,

if you really want something,

you'll just have to manifest it for you to get it.

Here... That's why I bought these.

Aren't they cute?

Thank you, Ma.

Immunological infertility?

Mm. It means that

your body recognizes the sperm as foreign.

You see, you're producing antibodies that kill them.

That's why it's hard for you to get pregnant.

- - Anyway...

There are a few medications that I can give you.

- - But they are not a cure.

They will only decrease the odds of miscarriage.

But doc, how about IVF?

Uh, excuse me.

Well, in your case,

it only has a 50% success rate.

I mean, yes, we can still do that,

but it's not going to be easy.

I really like this house. It's big.

Abby can finally have her own room.

What are you up to, Victor?

Why do you have to live here?

Well, it'll be a waste of money if we don't.

Besides, you said you bought this house, right?

Yes, I did. Why?

I've been sending you money. Where did that go?

I assume you used that to pay for this house.

So, I have the right to live here.

Tsk. You know what?

I will never live in the same house with you again.

I'm not forcing you to live with me.

I'm fine with just Abby and me.

But Abby thinks we will all live in this house.

How will you explain that you won't live here?

You'll lie to her again?

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYS THEN FADES]

- -

- Victor? -

What are you doing here?

We're moving in here.

Don't you remember?

Sylvia helped Juliana buy this house.

What?

[OMINOUS MUSIC CONTINUES THEN SWELLS]

I know an expert. His name's Dr. Ernesto de Guia.

He built the company but he was bought out

since he's gotten old.

He's also the only one who can prove that

the waste they're disposing is harmful to humans.

And I'm sure his statement...

...will win this case.

Is there something wrong, Sylvia?

Uh, no. Nothing.

Actually, I was just listening to your conversation.

Tsk. See, Dad? See how good Alex is?

This case is pro bono but he's still doing everything to win.

Are you available next week?

We're having lunch with Judge Fontanilla.

Would you like to come?

Yes, Dad. I'll be there.

Are you done eating? More wine?

That's almost empty. I'll get another one in the cellar.

I'll go with you...

...so I can choose.

Son?

I'm so glad you're here.

I just saw Victor.

He just moved in to that house near here.

And that Juliana's with him.

They really are getting on my nerves.

Don't you talk to them or even go near them

because I know for sure they'll just cause trouble.

Especially that woman.

Forget about the lunch.

I just remembered I have some prior commitments.

Dad?

- Goodbye, baby. - Bye, Dad.

Want some rice?

That okay?

Have some more.

Daddy, where did you get the banana leaves?

Oh, these?

I got them from the garden in the lot next door.

But don't tell anyone, okay?

- -

Go ahead. Eat.

Go ahead, eat.

Come on, let me help you. Here.

- Mm. It's good, right? - Wow.

You like it?

- It's yummy. - Have some more.

Oh, hey, slowly.

Careful. Here.

It's really yummy, Daddy.

Thank you.

I learned this from my friends when I was away at sea.

Good to know you learned something there.

All you knew before was how to butt heads.

What does that mean, Daddy?

- - Well, that means...

I'll do it to your mom.

- Victor? Victor, no! - Don't start with me.

- Stop! -

- I'm wearing heels! Stop! - Come on, Mommy!

- Victor, cut it out! Stop! -

- This is how you do it. - No!

Victor, stop.

- Mm! - What--

Victor-- Tsk. Stop it.

Your hands are messy.

Well, you started it.

You badmouthed me in front of our kid.

My turn, Daddy.

You want me to do that to you, too?

- Dear, run! Hurry! - Here I come.

Faster! Come here!

Hurry!

Got you!

Did you really think you could outrun me?

- -

Phew! That was tiring.

Are you happy, dear?

Yes, Mommy.

Our house is so big.

We can play hide-and-seek here.

Okay, dear, once you finish your meal,

you can go hide, and I will look for you.

Mommy, Daddy, I hope we can be like this every day.

Happy forever and ever!

Sylvia.

You seem to be deep in thought.

What's the matter?

Sylvia.

I went to the doctor.

She said it would be difficult for me to get pregnant.

I might not be able to give you the family you want.

Sylvia.

What do I always tell you?

What matters to me is you...

...that we're together.

Sylvia, you're all I need.

- Okay, we're here. - Keep your eyes closed.

Hold on.

Let me just take off my slippers.

Wait.

One, two...

Surprise!

Wow! It's so pretty!

Thank you, Mommy, Daddy!

- You're welcome, dear. - Go ahead.

Can I sleep here tonight?

Of course, dear.

Mommy, please join me.

Uh...

Abby, dear.
