Linlang - First Season

Liana?

Liana. Juliana, wake up, wake up.

- Wake up. - What's wrong?

Your sister hasn't come home yet.

She still isn't here.

Maybe she's working overtime at the coffee shop.

She texted earlier saying she was on her way home.

But she's not here yet, so I'm getting worried

that something might have happened.

Victor, have you contacted her?

She's still not picking up.

Alright, let's look for her.

Just stay there. I'll handle it.

Kate, will you please sit down?

What's wrong?

You have a nice place.

Kate, I know something's bothering you.

Nothing's bothering me.

Please don't lie to yourself.

I don't know.

It seems like I'm always surrounded by liars.

My sister...

I've defended her countless times.

I've always sided with her.

Turns out, she's the one who's really in the wrong,

not Victor.

She's even worse than our mother.

Imagine, having an affair with her husband's own brother.

- -

I'm her sister.

Don't I deserve to know the truth?

I used to think that even if our mother left us,

we will be okay.

I'll still be fine because my sister has her own family.

I believed that something good could still happen to us.

But why did she do that?

What will happen to my niece?

Well, you're finally home.

We had been worried about you since last night.

Next time, Kate, be more responsible.

Let us know if you're not coming home

so we won't have to worry about you.

And stop getting involved with just any guy.

Look who's talking.

What do you mean?

Wait, I'm still talking to you.

Where are you going?

Let go of me.

Hey, don't be rude. I'm still your sister.

Do you have a problem with me?

Mommy, are you two fighting?

Hi.

All your test results are normal.

Your hormones, your sperm count, everything.

I don't see any problem.

You can have as many children as you want.

I'll leave you two for a moment.

- Thanks, doc. - Okay.

See? I'm healthy as a horse, Sylvia.

What's with your reaction? You look disappointed.

I'm not disappointed.

Well, you don't look happy.

If there's nothing wrong with you,

then it's confirmed that the problem lies with me.

Do you still want me to celebrate?

I'm sorry.

Ma'am, I just want to know

if the results of our DNA test are ready.

Lualhati.

Someone claimed it already, sir.

- What? Who? -

Go and open it so we can have Matteo tamper it.

Lifeline DNA Diagnostics DNA TEST REPORT

What's wrong?

Based on the testing results obtained from the analyses

the probability of paternity is 99.999%

The result is positive, Alex.

What?

Victor is the father of the child I'm carrying.

Something still happened between you two?

He just returned to the Philippines that time.

I had to pretend we were okay

because I didn't want him to suspect anything.

Maybe...

we should avoid each other for a while.

Why do you always resort to that?

Are you just pretending with me, too?

Because Abby is starting to get affected.

I don't want this child to get affected, too.

Is it too much to ask for a little peace of mind

while I'm pregnant?

I can protect you!

Really?

But you wanted me to get rid of the child, right?

You wanted it, too.

Don't blame me for the decisions we both made.

I only agreed to what you wanted!

I had always followed your lead,

but for this, I'll make a decision for myself.

After all, I'm the only one

who will have to deal with this child, right?

Juliana!

Why did you go to the DNA clinic ahead of me?

You're the real father, Victor.

Maybe now you'll believe me.

Why? What did you think I would do?

If you want, you can verify the results with the clinic.

What do we do now?

Alex, what happened?

Alex.

Alex...

Wha--

What...

Alex...

Alex, it doesn't have to be this way.

Talk to me.

Alex...

What do you want?

Look, it's Eminem.

Victor's next opponent...

...is Martin Manansala. The fight will be next week.

Victor just had a fight recently.

You wouldn't want to miss this opportunity.

He's the undefeated champion of Mindanao Boxing Federation.

His original contender backed out of the event,

so I got Victor in.

This will be a good promotion for him if he wins.

But Victor's body hasn't fully recovered yet.

Well, that's why you're here.

To get his body conditioned, right?

Right, left, knock out.

And bro, this guy is better than Jethro.

He's an out-boxer.

He punches incredibly fast.

We'll think about it first.

I've already secured a new sponsor for Victor.

They have high expectations of you.

A sponsor?

Is there a need for that?

Victor...

The fight is not just in the ring anymore.

We're expanding your reach.

They are willing to take the risk

because I told them you're great.

You need this fight, Victor.

When is the fight?

Victor...

Welcome to the company of great boxers.

The return of "The Beast."

And the return of "The Pest."

Psst.

Victor, let me introduce you to Jethro.

Oh, my bad.

You two already know each other, right?

He's also joining the company.

I hope there won't be any issues.

Just think of it like...

we're one big family.

No problem for me.

Perfect. That's what I like to hear.

I heard that Manansala will be your next opponent.

He's known for his "Shotgun."

A barrage of fast punches.

Difficult to dodge, but not impossible.

Olivia, right?

Okay.

I guess I won't bother you guys anymore.

- Oh. -

Going somewhere?

I'm just going to meet William.

We have something to discuss.

After that, I'll pick up Abby.

Why, Grandma?

N-Nothing.

Uh...
