The Loyalty Game

- What is it? - Papa is gone.

I thought I hated him too.

Why does it hurt?

Maybe you didn't hate him.

You just hated the things he did.

You've been using me as your excuse with your wife.

That means there's something she isn't supposed to know.

What's three million

compared to the life you're trying to protect, Mr. CEO?

You damn bastard.

You all want to destroy the things I've worked hard on.

I just want to live a quiet life with my wife.

- Watch over my sister. - I'm getting tired.

There'll come a day when your money won't be enough

for everything I'm doing.

Do you even have a plan?

My sister will be part of my life at the right time.

Ging.

How did you get here?

We have gathered here to honor a man's excellence,

dedication, and service to the town of Vallente.

A life built by hard work, sacrifice,

and the desire to help others.

Let us celebrate the life of a man

we all deeply admire.

The Child of Visayas...

Attorney Benjamin Santos!

Ben!

Mara?

Mara?

Mara?

Mara?

Mara, I'm hungry.

Mara?

Mara?

Mara?

Ging.

It's good.

You're a bastard, Ben.

This is the only way I can get back at you.

The number you have dialed

is either busy or out of coverage area.

Ging.

How did you get here, hmm?

Where's Mara?

Where's Mara?

- -

Ging, let's go outside.

- Huh? I'm waiting for Joel. - Shh!

Joel's back there, see?

- Joel's there? - Come on.

- Where's Joel? - This way.

- There? - Yes.

- We'll be quick. Yeah. - Joel's in there?

Go inside.

Sit down. We'll just hide for a bit.

Joel's in here?

Shh, keep your voice down.

Let's wait for him here.

- Joel? - Shh, someone might hear you.

- Where's Joel? - Sit down.

- Is he there? - Be quiet.

Just sit down and be quiet.

- You said he'd be here. - Shh.

You said Joel was here.

We'll wait for him here.

- But I'm hungry. - We'll eat later.

I don't like this place. Why are we here?

- I'm sorry. You see... - This is his place?

- Huh? - Joel lives here?

No. Keep your voice down.

Why is this place so messy?

I'm getting hungry. Why are we here?

Shh! Don't make any noise.

Why?

- You want food? - Yeah.

Where's Joel?

What are you doing?

Is Joel here yet?

Give me your arm.

- Huh? - Show me your arm.

- Why? - It's dirty.

Why are you so dirty?

- I don't know. - Where were you?

- Mara gave me a bath. - Stay still.

Don't move.

- I told you to stay still. - What are you doing?

- Are you tying me up? - I'm not.

- No, you're tying me up. - I'm not.

- That's what you're doing. - No, you're just confused.

- Why are you tying me up? - No.

That's what Mara does to me!

Ben...

Ging. Shh.

- - Ging. Be quiet.

- Why did you tie me up? - Shh!

Be quiet. You'll wake them up. Be quiet.

Shh. Be quiet.

- We're just playing a game. - No...

Don't make any noise.

- Stop making noise, okay? - Don't tie me up.

- Don't make any noise. -

- Shh! - Ben?

- Help! Help me! -

Ging!

Ben?

Ben?

Hi. Good morning.

Good morning. Where were you?

Oh, just... did a morning walk.

It's nice outside.

It's your big day.

Come on. Get ready, stranger. Let's go.

- Yeah, I'm excited. -

Put that in place!

- Hurry up! Make sure it isn't lopsided! -

Why does this look like...

It stinks!

Get the other one!

- What is that? - Here's the plaque, ma'am.

It'll be a huge embarrassment if it's misspelled.

All right, it's perfect.

Put that somewhere safe. Everyone, hurry up!

Ma'am, is this okay?

Wait, where's my umbrella?

It's too hot!

Why is the umbrella back there?

- Sorry, madam. - I'm right here!

Follow me!

You! Why aren't you done with the chairs yet?

Good grief. Keep them aligned! What will the guests think?

Hurry up!

Let everyone enter!
