Uncle has a favor to ask of you.
Your first kill.
I think I know who you're referring to.
Kill Marga.
So, Uncle's looking for me?
He's furious.
Because I didn't finish the job?
He wants me dead?
I already know.
Did you have a talk with Camino?
Are you telling me the truth, Marga?
I never saw him, how would we talk?
I'm asking you. What did you talk about?
Nevermind that.
This is what we're gonna do.
You don't have a gun?
I love you.
I love you.
Adeline's been setting up since last night.
Last night?
This sucks. Seriously, Lenlen, can't you let me have it this time?
Stop with the "Lenlen."
It's 'Adeline' now.
I only came alive when I first saw her.
Adeline!
This is goodbye!
What do you mean?
Adeline!
- Adeline is drowning! - I can't see Adeline!
Is that Tessa? The BFF killer?
She's lonely. She needs me.
They're not here, Uncle. I'll move forward to Cebu.
Help!
Get away from me!
- Hey! - Help!
Come on! Let's go!
Miss, are you okay?
- I'm fine. - Are you okay?
Go on, miss. Cry it out.
I'm here now.
You're safe.
Thank you for saving me.
We made no judgments.
We put our trust in each other.
We fell in love.
The first person I ever loved.
Tessa, I have something to tell you.
I love you.
Hey. Say something.
I love you, too.
She said I'm her first love, too.
Wear it all the time, okay?
Until my last breath.
I won't take it off.
Wait, what time is it?
It was the only time I felt human.
That I was complete.
That I am alive.
Because of her, I can die.
Help!
Mom?
Are you hungry?
Where's Dad?
Why are you looking for him?
Dad said we're all going on a vacation.
Where is he?
It's just gonna be the two of us on that trip.
Why? Where did he go?
He's gone.
He left.
To get far away from here.
Did that man catch up to him?
Is Dad dead?
A man?
You mean Camino?
Yes. He killed your father.
His…
His body.
I want to see it.
Where is it?
It's hidden.
Hidden? Why is it hidden?
Did you…?
You killed my father.
I made a mistake.
You made a mistake?
I made a mistake.
Mom, are you even human?
Humans have souls! They have a conscience!
You don't!
You're a monster! You're worse than a dog!
You don't know what you're saying.
I do!
I know exactly what you are!
I know what it is that you do!
And I know how much Dad loved me!
I know that you're the one who killed Uncle Dominic!
I despise you!
That's fine. Despise me all you want.
That's the same thing I felt when I was young
and found out that my father was a murderer.
I was just like you now. I was furious.
My father was a murderer.
One time, his boss asked him to kill someone
but he couldn't because the target was ill.
The boss asked me to do it instead.
If I refused, he would kill my entire family.
I couldn't do anything so I just did it.
I killed the man.
That's okay, I told myself. I finished the job.
I took on my father's job but
at least I kept my whole family alive.
I didn't want this.
God gave me this cross to bear.
Don't you dare bring the Lord into this!
You are disgusting, mom.
I am sickened by you, do you know that?
You think I'll understand?
That your sob story will move me?
You're disgusting.
That's okay.
I don't want your pity.
I'm not asking for your forgiveness.
Just don't call me a monster.
You are a monster!
No! I am not a monster!
- You're a monster! - I'm not a monster!
You're a monster, you killed my father!
He's not your father.
Mom, for heaven's sake,
when will you stop lying to me?
That's the truth.
He's not your father.
Do you like it?
- Do you want a family? - Huh?
That was random.
- No big deal. - No big deal?
- Hell yes! You're not getting any younger. - I hate you!
You're always so mean to me.
Hey, thanks for this.
You got it. Anything for you.
Remember what you said earlier?
About the…
About…?
About having a family with you.
You know what, I really, really do!
Gunshot. Right in my womb.
I'll never conceive again.
It's all right.
You can have my assignment.
I'll tell Uncle
you'll take care of it.
You'll take down two people.
You'll get 16,000php easy.
I'm out.
Fely's not in the mood anyway.
- She might start crying over me. - You wish!
Uncle asked me to kill a mother and her child.
I may be an animal,
but even animals
want to bear its own.
I want to be a mother.
At first, this means nothing to me.
It's simply a job
to kill a mother and her child as asked by Uncle.
It was a job like any other, until I saw the baby.
My ultimate dream.
Fely?
What's that?
Close the door. Heronimo.
Fely, what's going on?
- Heronimo, this is going to be our child. - What?
Shit, Fely! She's one of your targets.
You're dead when Uncle finds out.
He's gonna come for us. Fuck.
Were you seen? Were you followed?
Can you kill a baby?
Go on, then, kill it!
- Here, go ahead! - Fely!
Pinch its nose and smother it with a pillow.
Do it!
Heronimo, do it!
You can't do it either.
Heronimo…
The Lord gave her to us, Heronimo.
Believe it.
She's our forgiveness.
She's the redeemer of our souls.
Heronimo, you have to believe me.
The Lord gave her to us, Heronimo.
Heronimo, please believe it.
What are you gonna name it?
Marquesa.
Tessa.
Tessa.
You're Tessa.
You're my baby.
Tessa.
