You're it!

- You're it! - You're it!

- You're it! - You're it!

Good day, Sister.

Where's the office of Mother Superior?

Just go upstairs.

Thank you.

Come in.

- Oh, hi. - Good day.

Miss Violet Abrogar?

Yes.

Come in.

Nice to meet you.

- Have a seat. - Thank you.

I assume you have spoken with your parents about this.

With my mom, yes.

What did your mom tell you?

They found it hard to conceive

so they came here to adopt me.

I was barely one year old, she told me.

Let me get something.

Twenty years ago,

we helped a mother in Tondo.

She asked for help because her daughter was hospitalized.

Eventually, she gave the baby to us.

That was you, Violet.

Where is my mother?

This place is so far.

Are we there yet?

Yes, this is the address the orphanage gave.

How about your dress?

My heels!

Are you tired?

It’s on me later.

I’m nervous.

Don’t be. I’m here for you.

What if they don’t accept me?

Are you sure about this?

Of course.

Whatever happens…

I’m here for you, babe,

whether they accept you or not.

Thank you, babe.

So many kids here!

You want one?

Let’s make one?

- Good day, sirs. - Good day!

We just want to ask something.

- Go ahead. - Go ahead.

Where does Tess Porras live?

Tess Porras?

You know her?

- That's Tess, the vendor. - The one in dark green shirt.

That's Tess, the vendor.

The one in dark green shirt.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Good morning.

Are you Tess Porras?

Yes, that's me.

May we speak with you?

Of course.

Let's come to my house. It's so hot here.

Come on.

Help yourselves.

Thank you.

Thanks.

That's when I was still working in Olongapo.

When my father threw me out of the house

while I was pregnant with your older sister, Samantha…

I found my way here in Manila.

In less than a year,

I was pregnant again.

Why was I the one you gave away?

Cheska, my child…

It's Violet.

You almost died of dengue.

I was helpless.

Was that enough reason to abandon me like a puppy?

I barely supported your sister…

Let alone bought her milk.

What more with two babies?

Ma?

- Who are they? - Cheska's here! Your sister!

Violet.

- Sam. - My boyfriend, William.

Her name's Violet.

That's the name my foster parents gave me.

Wow.

English.

How did you find us?

Well…

My mom revealed that I was adopted, so we searched for the orphanage I was in.

They gave me the records.

Is that so?

Congrats!

By the way, Ma.

Here's my cut from the precinct.

Thanks a lot.

Here you go.

- I'll go ahead! - Hey, where are you going?

To get some fresh air.

Come on!

You have nothing to worry about. It's on me.

Just do what I told you.

- Alright then. - Okay?

Sir Erwin!

- See you. - See you.

Come here. Let's talk.

The operation is tonight.

I've conditioned Mr. Lim.

I'll help the truck driver.

I'll be at the garage.

- Make it clean. - Sure.

Mr. Lim!

Mr. Lim,

here are the goods you'll bring to the storage.

- Are they good? - Of course!

- Open up. - Go ahead.

Go now! Go!

Sam!

Enter! Enter!

Don't leave me, William.

- I love you, Violet. - I love you too.

Please don't leave me.

I won't leave you!

What time will we leave for Noveleta tomorrow?

After lunch?

Are you sure with your decision?

Of course! I want to see my mother.

Violet!

Good morning, Sir Tony.

You didn't come home last night.

We're sorry.

Go home now!

Take care.

Pa…

- Is this the right behavior? - Papa, I'm sorry!

- To come home late? - Papa!

- This late? - Tony!

- Screw you! - Tony, have mercy!

Where did you go?

William and I went out with our friends.

Help her stand.

Stand up!

The orphanage called me.

You seriously went ahead to search for your real parent?

What else didn't we provide?

Ungrateful bitch!

Tell me!

I'm sorry, Papa.

They don't want you anymore!

They abandoned you!

You still want to be with them?!

- Huh? - Stop it!

Calm down.

You want to be with them?

Come. Come here!

I'll bring you to them!

Tony, stop it!

That's enough!

That's enough!

Teach your shameless daughter!

That's enough…

Mama!

How's your daughter?

In her room. Resting.

We're about to pray the rosary.

Let her prepare.

- Tony… - Yes?

You don't need to get so violent with your child.

She hasn't done anything wrong.

Why are you defending her?

It hurts.

You think I didn't know you're the one who gave her the address of the orphanage?

You're hurting me!

Why did you do it?

I pity our daughter.

For what?

What did I do to you?

Let go of me!

Now tell me…

Why are you helping our daughter?

Let go!

I want her to get free from your madness!

Really?

You want me to kill you?

Damn it!
