Ahem... my apologies.

As I was saying earlier...

There's an issue.

According to my findings,

Most of your father's holdings are...

Currently under litigation.

What does that mean Attorney?

Well, to put it simply...

The trust will have to fund your allowance...

Through assets that were,

Already liquidated.

But also, there was something else...

A farm, I believe... Somewhere in...

San Pablo.

- Yes there is. - Exactly.

With that, there's hope.

Here's the plan...

I'll ask my assistant to handle the deed and...

We'll quickly have it put under your names.

How long is this going to take?

Dad has been dead for a month.

We're doing everything we can,

To expedite the process.

Thank you for this,

I'll be off now.

Safe travels, Attorney,

Our apologies, that's all we can offer.

We'll make it up to you next time.

Thank you, Attorney.

Thank you too,

For the chicken and the rice cake.

Take care.

Ester!

Damn it.

That land is ruining our plans.

"Our plans"?

Are you sure about that?

What?

Don't act like you're not benefitting from this.

This pays for your ticket to medical school right?

I just need enough to get back to the city.

I don't know why it's taking fucking forever.

I don't know why you're being so impatient.

Why are you so intent on leaving?

You're leaving sis?

Who would want to stay here?

I'm going to bed.

Lea, you should go to bed too.

When are you teaching me to drive?

Come on,

You can't even get around commuting,

Trikes and jeepneys almost never pass here.

Where do you even plan to go?

Well, I'll go to the fiesta in the next town over.

I haven't gone to the dance in a while.

That's what you're good at anyway.

Alright, I guess I can find time to teach you.

But... on one condition.

When you've learned to drive,

We'll take turns going to the market.

Sound good to you?

Yes, sis.

Wait, isn't this right around,

The river we used to swim in?

Yes, it is. Why?

Can we swing by for a bit?

Next time, we still have to make dinner.

Come on, just for a bit.

Please?

Oh, alright then.

What do you say, Ester?

- Let the youngest have this one. - Alright.

Great!

Halt!

Where are you headed, ma'am?

Wait, at ease...

Aren't you Don Fidel's daughters?

Yes sir. Good afternoon.

So, where are you headed?

We just wanted to swing by the river.

Alright,

Let them through.

- Thank you, sir. - Ma'am...

Our apologies, but...

Please return before dark.

You may not have heard,

Rebels have been spotted in the area.

Best be careful.

- Okay. - Thank you, sir.

- Take care. - Alright, Buddy...

Open it!

That was fun!

We haven't gone out in a while.

And see?

You both went hours without a fight.

Don't worry. I promise that...

When everything in the villa is sorted...

We'll be able to go out everyday.

And not just to the river...

We'll go wherever you want.

There you go with your promises again,

You're going to break her heart again.

Remember last year?

When Dad was still alive,

Didn't she cry all the time?

All because you promised to take her with you.

But as always...

You never did.

If it were me,

I wouldn't make promises I can't keep.

I wouldn't give her false hope.

That's enough!

I've lost my appetite.

What was that?

Calm down,

It's probably just a firefight.

I hope those rebels get caught.

Bringing their fight to us like this...

Those animals, those pests.

Wait,

You're just going to leave him like that?

Lea, we don't even know him.

If someone's after him, they'll come after us too.

But he's hurt!

Can't you patch up his wound?

He won't make it to the hospital!

Ester, hurry, we need to move him.

Hand me the scalpel.

Ester, give me the forceps...

Tomas?

Wake up, Tomas!

Tomas?

How'd you sleep, son?

It was good, mother.

Study well, son.

With those looks,

You could attract distractions.

Why would they do this?

Father!

Father, wake up! Father...

Father, wake up! Father...

Father...

Father...

Lea, wait...

You need to rest.

You're burning up.

You're wounded pretty deep.

And the bullet was in your thigh for a while.

It'll need some time to recover.

What do we call you?

Felipe.

I'm Sonya.

And these are my sisters.

Lea and Ester.

Leah,

Would you kindly, fetch some cold water?

Felipe needs to drink water.

Hey, slow down.

You shouldn't move around.

Your body needs rest.

I'm sorry,

But I need to use the bathroom.

I'll do it.

You were dreaming weren't you?

You were calling out to your father.

Go to sleep.

Thank you.

Good, you're awake.

I brought breakfast.

I made it myself, Ginarep.

Thank you.

Would you like coffee?

I can make some.

Maybe later.

Oh yes, Felipe,

There are extra clothes in the closet that might fit you.

They were left by some of our old workers.

You can wear those for now.

There it goes,

Those old wardrobes keep swinging open by themselves.

Eat up.

Do you like it?

Yes, it's good.

Did you sleep well?

Of course.

Well, most of the night at least.

The pain kept me up for some of it.

Don't worry.

We can take care of you here.

You're too kind.

How can I repay you?

Don't think about that.

The important thing is that you get better.

I've been thinking,

That since...

I'm pretty handy around the house,

Maybe I could fix some things for you.

I could start with self-opening wardrobes.

No need to fuss,

Sonya can handle those things.
