Linlang - First Season

This is what my men have gathered so far.

The company's registered,

it's legitimate.

And based on annual publications,

it's doing well financially.

- - They have good credentials

even if they're new to boxing promotions.

In fact, the owner's been successful

in all business ventures he entered.

Furthermore, employees and ex-employees

didn't report anything we should watch out for.

Any lawsuits against the company?

Tsk. Well, there was one, four years ago.

A riot broke out at an event and people got injured.

However, they offered financial support

to cover the victims' hospital bills.

So, in the end... the charges were dropped.

- And the owner? -

Villafuerte was telling the truth.

Javier Nemenzo is a self-made man

and a former boxer.

And...

You're not gonna believe this... Tsk.

He was your father's contemporary.

- -

They were under the same boxing promotion.

Actually...

Javier and your father were friends.

- I hate her. - So annoying.

Look, there she is.

So, you've submitted our project, huh?

And you didn't include us?

Yeah, why did you do that?

Why didn't you include our names?

Hey, I'm talking to you!

Why would I put your names there?

I was the only one who worked on that.

You think you're so smart?

- Hey! - Loser!

No doubt about it,

your anniversary this year will be amazing.

Everything's set.

All that's left for her to do is show up.

- - Just make sure

Olivia doesn't find out about my surprise, okay?

'Cause I know you can't hold your tongue.

Who, me?

I can't hold my tongue?

Yes.

Don't you trust me, bro?

Look, what Liv knows...

...is that...

...she's the one who prepared something for you.

So, your plan's safe. Okay?

- You sure? -

Hello, Attorney?

Victor. Good news.

Matteo just called.

He said Alex is ready to sign the contract.

Have everything ready, then.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES THEN FADES]

I'm heading out, Jimboy.

Just make sure everything goes according to plan.

Yeah, I'll take care of it.

Promise. I've got you.

Hello, Abby?

- Daddy? -

Can you come see me here at school?

Tasha's laptop broke when I threw her bag at the floor.

I'll take care of it.

Just don't do it again, okay?

But Abby wasn't the one who started the fight, sir.

She threw my bag.

But you've been telling everyone

that her dad is a bad guy.

- Here, look. -

They're not just telling lies about you.

They've been lying about Abby, too.

"Lualhati murder case suspect arrested"

Look, not everyone who gets put in jail...

...did something bad.

Some are just victims of false accusations.

Think about it...

How would you feel if you got arrested

for a crime you didn't commit?

It wouldn't be fair, right?

Well, that's what happened to me.

Now, go apologize to each other.

It's better if you patch things up now

before your parents get here

and the principal calls you to her office.

They won't be as upset if you fix things right now.

I'll just get you a new laptop, okay?

- Sorry, Abby. - Sorry, Abby.

I'm sorry, too.

Sorry.

Ugh.

Hey, Jimboy. Is Victor with you?

Uh, no, he went to see Abby.

I think she got in trouble at school.

But don't worry, he'll be back.

You have no idea how excited he is for your date.

Well, I guess we still have time.

Can we wait for my husband? So he'll know what happened.

Where is he, then?!

You can't keep wasting our time!

I bet you don't keep an eye on your daughter.

That's why she turned out like that.

What kind of a mother are you?!

Don't you dare question my parenting!

Let's not raise our voices at each other.

The children could hear you.

You're asking what kind of mother she is?

Victor.

Well, she is a loving and responsible one.

She raised our daughter by herself when I was gone.

And who are you?!

I am Abby's father.

Abby.

He's the one who talked to us earlier.

He helped us sort things out.

You have to stand your ground, Tasha.

Don't be intimidated by him.

No, Mommy.

We really are okay now.

Right, Abby?

You've sorted it out?

Yes, ma'am. We've apologized to each other.

Don't suspend her, ma'am. Please?

Uh... Excuse me, I'll just go to the restroom.

Abby, do you...

Do you wanna order dessert after this?

Maybe some ice cream?

Abby, are you okay?

- Tell me. What's wrong? -

I'm sorry, Mommy.

I just don't want anyone to say

that you're a bad parent.

Because that's not true.

Thank you, baby.

I mean, I know I have my shortcomings as a mother.

But trust me, I will never get tired

of apologizing to you for that.

And Abby, believe me...

I only did that because I want to protect you.

The last thing that I want is to see you get hurt.

I'm just scared that we'll get to the point when...

...when you no longer need me.

I don't want that to happen.

I hope you understand why I want to be with Daddy.

But, Abby...

What would your Uncle Alex feel?

I still see him as a father, Mommy.

And there's nothing wrong with having two dads, right?

I hope you can help me

explain this to him, Mommy.

I love you, Abby.

I love you too, Mommy.

Liv.

Let's go?

I'm sorry, I already changed clothes.

And it's late anyway, so...

Sorry.

- But did you get my text? -

Abby got in trouble at school.

It's fine.

Anyway, it's still our anniversary

and it's not that late. We can still go out.

It's fine. I'm feeling sleepy anyway, so...

Let's just go out next time.

By the way,

my boss dropped by earlier.

Did I mention before that...

...they want to put up a clinic in the U.S.?

Well, it's been approved.

They even asked me...

...if I want to work there.

I already told Mama.

She's happy for me.

But...

I'm still thinking about it.

What do you think your decision will be?

I'm not sure yet, Victor.

But if I were to work there...

...I would do it for you.

For me?

You're going to leave me?
