A Family Affair (2022): Season 1, Episode 36 - Episode #1.36 - full transcript

[THEME SONG PLAYING]

What brings you here, Cherry?
Is there something you need?

I already told you why.

You.

Me?

That's what I said.

You might need someone
to talk to.

Someone to sympathize.

Because I do.

[MELLOW PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]

Come on.



The moonlit ocean is so lovely.

Like me.

[CHUCKLES]

Whenever I'm near the ocean,

all my problems
seem to just sail away.

[MELLOW MUSIC PLAYING]

But, after all,

I'm only human.

Weak in the face of temptations.

But Dave, I want to understand.

How do I resist temptation?

You know, Cherry,

temptations are everywhere.

But maybe, if your relationship
is built on strong foundation,



you won't easily
give in to temptation.

Well, you're right.

[SIGHS]

But, you know what,
I understand Paco now.

Even when I say that I love him,

temptations are still around me.

Sometimes I feel…

like his love is still
not enough to make me whole.

Like I'm still
looking for something else.

I don't know if it's too much,
or not enough… I don't know.

I don't know anymore.

Cherry, I thought…

you're sure about your feelings
for Paco

when you chose him.

When you married him.

I thought so, too.

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

[RAIN POURING]

Let's go over there.

Cherry!

Cherry! Where are you going?
Cherry, come on!

Why did you leave me, Dave?

Cherry, I told you.
Because of Drew.

You should have told me.
Why didn't you fight for me?

Dave, I've been hiding this
for so long.

Keeping it in, trying
to stop it.

This damn feeling.

Because I don't want
to destroy our family.

But what happened between
Seb and Colleen,

it got me thinking.

Ami I only standing by Paco
because…

[SOBS]

…because it's done, because
I'm used to it?

Because it is what is right?

But, Dave, who ever feels happy
doing the right thing?

- [RAIN POURING]
- [SOBS]

Love doesn't know what
is right, does it?

Maybe I made a mistake.

What if it is you I really love?

[CHERRY SOBS]

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

I know you've seen it.

- Seen what?
- Don't deny it, what I want

is for you to fix this.

Take it down, pay if you must,

have all the copies erased.
Okay?

- But Mayor, it's all over--
- That's why you have to fix it.

You have to fix it.

Because my name
and this office will get dragged

if we don't act quickly.

- Okay, sir. Okay.
- Okay?

Find a way to fix this.

- All right.
- Go.

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

Seb… Seb, Seb, Seb.

What did you get yourself into?

[EXHALES]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

[SNIFFLES]

[SEB] Colleen, you're home.

Uh, I cooked. Have you eaten?

[SNIFFLES]

Colleen.

I'll heat up the soup,
have some.

Don't act as if nothing
happened.

- [SNIFFLES]
- I know, Colleen.

But let's talk, please.

Or eat something first.

And now you suddenly
care about me?

[SIGHS]

Colleen, I care for you.

I do. I always do.

[INHALES]

I'm sorry, Colleen.

I'm so sorry.

[RAIN POURING]

- Dave.
- Cherry.

This is wrong.

I know.

[GASPS]

[SOBS]
Are we going crazy?

[SOBS]

Cherry, God knows
how much I love my family.

My brothers,

Paco.

I couldn't bear to lose Paco's
love either.

What can we do?

[EXHALES]

For now, we'll do nothing.

Maybe we'll be fine this way.

As long as we know that we
love each other.

The right time will come for us,
Dave.

But for now, I'm fine
knowing you love me.

[CHUCKLES]

[PANTS]

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

Colleen, I'm sorry.

[INHALES, SHIVERS]
I'm sorry.

[BREATHES HEAVILY]

Yes, I made a mistake.

I cannot undo what's done.

But, Colleen, you are my home.

[SNIFFLES]

You're my home, Colleen.

And I want you to know…

that you have no shortcomings,
you didn't do anything wrong.

This is all on me.

[SNIFFLES]
Just me and…

and my stupidity.

I can't bear losing you,
Colleen.

Believe me, I can't.

I'm sorry.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Just tell what I need
to do to ease your pain.

[PANTS]
Forgive me, Colleen.

Forgive me.

Forgive me.

[SOBS, SNIFFLES]

I will forgive you.

But starting today,

you will do everything I say.

I'll make the decisions,
I am law.

And you'll never ever
see Belle again.

You don't agree?

No, of course.

[STUTTERS] I mean, yes.

Yes, Colleen.

I'll do whatever you say.

- I'll do everything.
- [SOBS]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

[SNIFFLES]

[SNIFFLES]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES]

Cherry?

You're home.

Why do you look like that?
Where were you?

I got caught in the rain.

I missed you.

Where did you go?

We have an agreement.
No questions, right?

It's just that you're soaked,
you might catch a cold.

I can take care of myself.

Something's changed, Cherry.

I have changed a long time ago.

Different.

You smell different.

Are you saying that I smell bad,
Paco?

It's not that.

Different.

Maybe because I'm soaking wet?

I must smell of rain.

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

[TENSED MUSIC PLAYING]

[SCREAMS]

Your girlfriend? She's pretty.

She knows nothing about this.

[QUINTIN SIGHS]

She knows nothing but, you know,

one misstep
and she's dragged in.

- [CHUCKLES]
- Don't you dare.

[CHUCKLES]

If… you don't pay in full,

uh… she'll pay for the rest.

I won't fail.

Oh, you shouldn't.
[CHUCKLES]

[PANTS]

Let me out of here!

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

- [GASPS, PANTS]
- Come with me.

Please let me go.
[PANTS]

Boss wants to see you.
Come or you'll get hurt.

Okay, I'll go with you.

Put that knife away first.
[BREATHES HEAVILY]

Hey!

- Think you can get away?
- [SHRIEKS]

- [PANTS]
- Huh? Move! Quick!

Move or I'll stick this
into you.

[WHIMPERS]

[CHINA CLINKING]

Governor? Good morning.

[SIGHS]
Good morning.

I'm glad you're here, Seb.
Welcome.

- [SEB] Good morning.
- Hi. Welcome, welcome.

Have a seat.

[SIGHS]

Paco said you sent for me.

Yes, that's true.

I have this opportunity for you.

I want you to work for me.

[STAMMERS] I'm running
a business, Governor.

[CHUCKLES] you can still manage
your mini-bar if you want.

But I want you to work for me.

I won't let you go it alone.

I'll give you a partner.

You already know her.

The best PR in town.

Also the best lover.

Hey?

Why are you suddenly so shy?

We can trust them.

They'll never blab about
our relationship.

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

I want you Seb and my Florabelle

to work together.

Sir?

I want the two of you
to be my PR team

all throughout the duration
of my term.

[SEB]
I'm really sorry, Governor,

but I am clueless about
such things.

It's all Florabelle, that's
her forte.

[PACO] Uh… Yes, Governor,

Dave would be better at it.

But you own a bar, right?

You are charming enough
to charm women.

That's all I need from you.

Unless… Don't you
want to work with Belle?

Is that it?

No, sir.

So you want to work with her?

Tell me now if you have an issue
with Florabelle.

So we can fix it,
resolve the issue.

Is there an issue?

Between you two?

Not at all.

Good. I know I can trust you.

You and your brother.
[CLICKS TONGUE]

So do this for me.

And your brother.

Get your hands off me!

[SNARLS]
Get your hands off--

[HOOTS]

Welcome to my humble abode,
pretty lady.

Ah, feel at home.
Comme ci, comme ca.

Mi casa es su casa. Yeah.

You jerk!

Why did I get dragged into this?

- You have no beef with me.
- [QUINTIN STAMMERS]

First off, language.

Second of all, yes, I don't.
But I have with Drew.

And he knew that if he swindles
me, you'll pay the price.

So blame him that he's not here.

Where is he?

Oh, I don't know.

[SNEERS]
No, really now.

And I won't tell you if I do,
you jerk.

But I really don't
know where Drew is.

Okay.

Let's see if you still
don't know later.

Let me-- Let me go!

[SNARLS]
Let me go.

[GASPS]

- Hey, careful.
- [SHRIEKS] Let me go. Come on!

[CLEARS THROAT]

Uh, Mr. Estrella?

I'm Becca's attorney.
She asked me to get her stuff.

Where's Becca?

Um, she doesn't want
to speak with you.

She wants your marriage
annulled.

- At the soonest time possible.
- Is that what she wants?

[PHONE RINGING]

The number you
dialed is not in service.

Uh, she changed her number.

She has decided
to move on without you.

Can I just get all her stuff?

I'll have our staff pack them.

- You can wait here.
- All right.

When I return, we'll
discuss your properties.

I'll just wait outside.

Thank you.

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

Maybe this is all for the best.

Maybe this is all happening

to finally give way for me
and Cherry.

Love doesn't know what's right,
does it?

Maybe I made a mistake.

What if it's really you I love?

[TENSED MUSIC PLAYING]

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

[SEB'S BARESTAURANT]

Seb, you didn't know that Belle
is the governor's lover?

You didn't know about
their affair?

Do you know what he can
do to his enemies?

So, please help me, then.

Help you how, Seb?
What do you want me to do?

I don't want him to know.

For all we know, he's already
seen your video.

Maybe he hasn't.

I've ended it,
it's over between us.

There must be a way
to stop him from knowing.

You should have thought of that

before you and Florabelle
messed around.

What do you want me to do?

Cut his internet off?

Steal his phone? Is that it?

It's too late for that.

[EXHALES]

I don't know what to do.

As early as now, prepare
yourself for Governor's wrath.

I'm telling you, Seb,
you better prepare Colleen.

Prepare your wife
because once he finds out,

you might have
to leave General Luna.

Oh, Seb.

Cherry, hey.

What are you doing here?

I just wanted to see you.

You could have warned me.

Paco might arrive.

We're not doing anything wrong.

He might suspect something.

Suspect what?

That we're in love.

I love hearing that.

By the way, Drew…

He hasn't eaten anything
for days.

Can you go see him?

You might be able
to convince him to eat.

Yeah, sure. Yes. I'll
talk to him.

Leave it to me.

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

Babe.

[SILVERWARE CLINKING]

I'll join you.

You think I'd poison you?

No. It never crossed my mind.

By the way, babe, there's
something I have to tell you.

Governor wants me
to work with Florabelle.

Are you messing with me, Seb?

Believe me, Colleen,

it's just work. I just can't
say no to Governor.

Believe me,
nothing is going to happen.

Because I don't want
anything to.

What I want is for us
to be okay.

Who are you fooling?

Colleen, this is just temporary.

I just can't say no to Governor.

And Paco is also just helping me
get out of this situation.

I am trying.

Every day, even if
it's difficult.

Just the sight of you
makes me want to…

But I'm trying.

Believe me, Colleen.

I really don't want this.

I will make this right.

I promise you, nothing
will happen.

Okay?

Go ahead, then.

Starting now, no more secrets.

You will answer my every call.

I will read every text
you receive.

I'm going to know everything.

Because forgiving you
will not be easy.

Drew.

Drew, open the door. It's Dave.

Come on, Drew.

[SIGHS]
Drew, you have to eat.

Come out.

Come on, please.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

I think he's still mad at me
for not letting him out.

Why won't you let him out,
anyway?

Because he hasn't
learned from his mistakes.

I found drugs in his bag.

[SIGHS]

[SIGHS]

[SIGHS]

What's happening to us?

[EXHALES]
First, Drew.

Then, Seb and Colleen.

Is this our karma?

Why do you think that?

Did you do something bad?

We've made many mistakes.

But I can honestly say

that we are not bad people.

When someone often
tells a lie…

are they still
not considered bad people?

You show other people that you
are happy,

whole.

Spotless and clean.

But is that the real Estrella?

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

Cherry?

Cherry?

Sir?

Where's Cherry?

[MAID] I gave her coffee
earlier. I'll look for her.

All right.

So you are saying…

that we are bad people?

Only you can tell that.

And if I tell…

the truth,

does that make me
a good person?

Why don't you try?

[MELANCHOLIC MUSIC PLAYING]

[LIGHTNING CRASHING]

Mom!

Mom…

Mom…

- [WHIMPERS]
- Drew? Why?

- Come here.
- [CRIES]

- It's just lightning.
- [CRIES] I'm scared.

- [CRIES]
- Big brother's here now.

- Hush now.
- [SHIVERS]

Stay calm.

- [DREW SNIFFLES]
- Drew?

Cherry?

Why haven't you gone home?

I'm finishing up in the kitchen
when I heard Drew yelling.

Are you okay, Drew?

I'll take care of this.

It's okay, I'll stay with you.

Drew looks terrified.

- [DREW SNIFFLES]
- Hush.

You really love Drew so much,
don't you?

[SNIFFLES]

I love all my brothers.

It's good they have you
for their older brother.

It looks like you're
good at taking care of them.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

Cherry Red.

I love you.

That is what is true right now.

- [CLEARS THROAT]
- [FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

[CHUCKLES]

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

What are you two doing?

[SIGHS]

It's Drew, he won't come out.

He wouldn't eat, too.

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

Let me.

I'll leave it to you two.

I'm tired.

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

What are you doing?

Reading your text messages.

Are you hiding something?

No.

Is that for Drew?

Yes. I'm still hoping he
would eat.

[PACO] Drew?

Drew!

Drew, are you okay?

What happened to you?

- Help me, Paco.
- I will help you.

I will take you to rehab, okay?

- I will have you cured.
- No.

Take me to jail.
I deserve to be jailed.

Stop it, Drew. Stop it.
I will take you to rehab.

No, I must be jailed!

Because I'm no longer an addict.
Pusher.

- I am now a drug pusher.
- What are you saying, Drew?

Enough! What are you
talking about?

You!

Drew? Drew!

Paco!

- [PACO] Stop!
- [GRUNTS]

Drew, that's enough.

- [GROWLS]
- Let her go, Drew! [GRUNTS]

My brother
is still in General Luna.

He is not armed, please,
don't hurt him.

- [COP] Good morning, mayor.
- Come in, sir.

We are on the lookout
for a suspected drug dealer.

Quintin Mariano, sir.
Your brother might know him.

No, he doesn't know him.

John! John, come out here!

What's your problem?
Why are you making a scene?

I just want to find Tori.

- She's not home.
- You deal with Quintin, right?

Ask Quintin, then.

[SIGHS]
I can't go on like this.

I can't sleep,
I can't calm down.

[CHERRY]
Here's what you can do,

follow him.

[COLLEEN]
You animals!

- [PHONE RINGING]
- It's Paco.

- You won't answer it?
- [PHONE RINGING]

- You do it.
- [PHONE RINGING]

[DAVE] Paco.

Why do you have Cherry's phone?

Because your wife is here.
