Wonderful Nightmare

They said my dad was a ship captain.

But he drowned?

So sad, right?

If my dad drowned at sea,

my mom drowned in tears.

That's just a picture!

Lui thought it was just a toy.

That's enough! Let's eat!

Two of them in one grave?

Well, that's just my fate.

I was left alone because of ridiculous love.

Good morning, Philippines.

Here are today's top breaking news.

An attempted rape case at a company outing is going viral.

The suspect is allegedly the son of one of the company's owners.

The victim is an intern whose identity has not been disclosed.

Rapists should be castrated.

We are still waiting here for updates regarding the attempted rape case.

Netizens are speculating

about the identity of the alleged suspect.

Founded by billionaire Mr. Lorenzo Fernando Madas.

- Ma'am! - Attorney!

- Could you tell us about the case? - Ma'am!

But like I told the fiscal earlier…

We don't want their money.

I want him in jail!

You're right. He deserves that.

MDZ Construction is the biggest real estate group here in the Philippines.

It would be easy for Mr. Madas IV to leave the country if he wanted to.

And Filipinos will forget about this issue.

But what about your child?

She'll be left here in the Philippines.

Your child still has a long life ahead of her, ma'am.

Just imagine, once this issue explodes, everyone will know of your daughter.

All your secrets will come out. People will dig up every dirt on you.

It will taint her reputation.

It will follow her at school, at your church, in her future job,

her career, on social media… Everywhere.

Everyone will know her

as that girl.

"The one… who got raped."

Most mothers want education to shape their children's future.

Would you rather this scandal shaped yours?

We will never agree to a settlement!

Ma'am,

no matter how many milk fish you debone in Malabon,

you'll never hope to give your family this kind of money.

Is your pride more important than your family's future?

You're also a woman.

How could you be so cruel to another?

Double your offer.

Child!

We'll settle.

You're really something, Attorney.

Attorney Maria Luisa Manuel.

You handled the nepo babies case.

There you go again with the guilt-tripping.

At least I'm not some defender-slash-enabler for MDZ.

I fight for

the oppressed.

The question is, do you win?

Cuz, so how was your blind date?

You know, cuz? Total waste of time.

And he has a kid.

You're 39.

Your senior citizen discount is waving at you!

Maybe lower your standards a bit,

so you can find some baby boy to cuddle you till the day you die.

Good thing the relocation for Bliss residents is underway.

I want ground broken in two years.

I'm not waiting another five.

I guess this is okay.

Come on, ma'am is here.

Next year, I won't be able to visit you anymore.

Once I'm in the US, I'll probably only come back every five years.

Tell Mr. Kim to release

the relocation budget for the Bliss residents.

The payout?

Yes, the payout.

So they won't sign that signature campaign, okay?

It's so dark out here.

Not even a single streetlight.

Oh, my gosh, it's so dark.

Oh, a cat!

A cat!

- No! This can't be! - Wait, ma'am.

- No, it can't be! - Please, calm down.

- No, this can't be! - Okay, wait.

Let's inhale, exhale.

I remove it, then it comes back.

I remove it again, and it comes back. Over and over.

- What is this? What's going on? - Okay, let's calm down.

Attorney Maria Luisa Manuel.

- What? - Ma'am, wait a second, please.

What? Miss? Wait, Miss?

Why are we only finding out there's a mistake

when the client is already in heaven?

Mary Jane Alcantara still had one month left to live!

I double-checked it, chief.

We can't keep making these careless mistakes!

What do you think this is?

A corrupt government office?

Chief! Chief! Emergency!

There's been a name mix-up.

They have identical names.

One is an elderly woman, sick but happily living.

Surrounded by people who love her.

The other is a workaholic.

Here, chief.

She's alive!

The younger one isn't supposed to die until 2062.

How long before we can swap souls again?

About a week, chief.

What about Mrs. Alcantara?

She's already ascended to heaven,

but she still had one month left on earth.

That's exactly the problem, chief.

That one month is wasted.

She could've created new memories with her loved ones.

Please sit down, ma'am Lui Manuel.

Where am I supposed to sit here?

Yes, please have a seat.

You are currently at the Afterlife Relay Center.

All souls pass through here

before they fully ascend to heaven.

You did, ma'am.

My BMI is excellent. And not to brag, I do Hyrox.

Solo. Pro. Sub-one. Yeah.

Ms. Manuel.

- I have a lot of deadlines. - Calm down. Calm down. Keep calm.

Have a seat first.

I understand.

It must be bitter realizing you're dead.

Especially since you're still so young.

That's why we have a suggestion.

We have a special program here

for souls who cannot accept their passing.

We can send you back to the world of the living.

Do I qualify for that?

Yes, you're qualified.

Thank you, thank you so much.

But for that to happen, you'll need to cooperate with us.

You need to live someone else's life.

There is one soul who ascended to heaven one month too early.

You must take her place

to finish the life she had left.

And once you complete it and return here,

we can send you back to your original life.

What about how I look?

We'll take care of that.

Of course, there are rules.

You cannot reject the life she has.

And you cannot do anything connected to your old life.

No two-timing.

If you don't like it, you may proceed to heaven instead.

We do have a flight going to heaven, right?

This is my competitors chance to catch up to my career.

I'll take your glasses first, ma'am.

Go ahead. It's okay.

All right, slowly now.

Okay.

What the… Is the panty-snatcher here?

I'll sue you!

Trespassing? Did he break in? That bastard broke in?

Hey! Seriously! If I get you, I swear you'll be sorry!

Looks like everything's here.

What are you even doing in my room?

- Your room? - Yes.

But you're wearing my face on your underwear.

There, look.

Hey! Hey! Hey! Not now.

I'm gonna be late.

I know what this is. You're copying something you watched last night, right?

Which actress is that? Which actress?

I'll throw something at you!

No! No! Not that!

Is that from a new movie? I don't really get to watch anything anymore.

Sorry, I've just been so busy.

I got it! Classic horror!

Kris Aquino! Feng Shui!

Isn't it?

I gotta potty! Come on! It's already noon!

What was that?

What…

Ma,

I'm eating noodles every day until you enroll me in an acting workshop.

Why should I care? Who the hell are you?

And wait, is this a hostel? Why are there so many people?

So that's how it is. No more titles.

G.

If I make three points, you'll enroll me in that workshop, okay? Me first.

Your life must be really sad, Ginny.

Oh, you're Ginny?

I'm not Ginny. You are. That's the clue! Jeez!

Ma!

Whose kid are you?

Yours!

My allowance.

My allowance.

Oh, my God, you're my kids?
