The Silent Noise

Are you now convinced

that Sam Ignacio didn't commit suicide?

That there's deeper truth to this case?

Matt, I need you.

We need you.

You said you got rid of it, didn't you?

The sooner you tell them,

the sooner things will get lighter.

So, you aren't dismissing the possibility of foul play?

We're not dismissing any possibilities.

It looks like Sam's death wasn't a suicide after all.

You mean she was killed?

You're working out this late?

Just like your father.

I'm just looking for someone to fill a vacant position

at the Able Hearts Foundation.

You came to mind.

If you are one of the people whose lives she touched,

please don't accept that Sam's last story was that of surrender.

She didn't finish it,

or maybe someone made sure she couldn't.

Anton.

Hon?

Can we still use this?

Yes, of course. It's still sturdy.

It just needs a little fixing, then it'll be as good as new.

Isn't it a bit early, though?

We just found out yesterday that I'm pregnant.

Of course, I'm excited.

I'm excited to be a father of three.

You really are something.

There.

Isn't that what you've always wanted?

Three kids, right?

We could just buy a new one.

We can afford it now.

No need.

Think about it.

All three of our kids using the same crib.

Isn't that very meaningful?

Mm-hmm, that's true.

But you know what's even more meaningful?

Hmm?

Raising our three kids to be good people.

That's what we'll make sure of.

Want a snack?

Yeah, I'm hungry.

- Okay. - Let me just finish this.

I'll make you something.

Oh, where were you?

Hmm?

Just getting some air.

Um...

Anton,

the mayor's political advisor...

Attorney Cuizon.

You were friends in law school, right?

Yes, why?

Do you think he's noticed anything unusual about the mayor?

I don't know.

It's been a long time since we've seen each other.

And even if he has, I doubt he'd tell me.

Why are you asking?

Is there a problem?

Do you think the mayor had something to do with Sam's death?

And her brother, Ted Ignacio, is connected to it?

The siblings had some disagreements.

Sam once mentioned to me that

she didn't like whatever Ted got involved in

when he came back here.

What was he involved in?

I don't know.

She never got to say.

She didn't want to talk about it.

But I think

if Ted was running from something,

it had something to do with those files.

The other day,

I saw Ted take something from Sam's house.

It was in a bag,

hidden in the wood-fired oven.

From what I could tell, it was hundreds of thousands in cash.

I think that's connected

to Ted getting shot and Sam's death.

Ma'am...

We need to be careful.

Don't tell anyone about this.

It's nothing important.

Matteo?

MATTEO, WHERE ARE YOU?

MATTEO?

The subscriber cannot be reached.

Classic Matteo.

She's taking forever.

Babe!

- What took you so long? - Babe!

I thought you already had an abortion.

I can't.

- I can't hurt our baby. -

But why did you have to lie to me?

Jem, come on.

Because I got scared, babe.

When I told you my period was late,

I felt how scared you were.

Especially when the test came back positive.

Then you got mad when Teacher Sam found out.

Shh!

See, babe?

Sometimes, I don't even know how to talk to you anymore.

If you're not angry, you're cold.

I feel like you're drifting further and further away.

Like...

Like I'm about to lose you.

Babe.

Can we

can we just keep this between us for now?

I just need some time to think.

Babe. Babe.

Babe.

Sorry, I have to go home.

Hmm.

Well, look who decided to come home.

I almost didn't.

But I didn't have a choice.

It's okay for you to go out and drink,

but you should at least let me know.

Let it go, Pa.

It's Mama's birthday.

I knew it.

You forgot.

Even back then

work was always more important than Mama and me.

That's not true.

Shh...

Shh...

Shh...

Matteo.

Let's talk.

Where were you?

- I... -

just finished some important schoolwork, Pa.

Is that really all?

Because lately, we've noticed

that you've been quiet and distracted.

It's like you're not yourself anymore.

Plus, you've been so distant from us.

Is there something your mother and I need to know?

Matt.

You need to talk to us

so we can help you.

What's the problem?

Nothing, Ma.

Just school stuff.

Well, do you need our help?

No, I'm okay. I can handle it.

Matteo, we're here for you, okay?

Just tell us.

Have you eaten?

Yes, Ma.

I'll just go change, Pa.

What are you doing here?

Matteo, did you get Jem pregnant?

What?

No. That's not true.

Then what's this, Matteo?

Matteo, what's this?

- -

Why do you have this? Why are you messing with my stuff?

So, it's true?

Matteo, did you get Jem pregnant?

Matteo!

Well?
