On the Job (2021): Season 1, Episode 2 - Joaquin - full transcript

Someone needs to stop Clearway Law.
Public shouldn't leave reviews for lawyers.

If you had informed me about the lead

we could've protected him.

He only trusted me.

We had an understanding.

Come here.

You're messing up my case.

I don't care if you don't like me.

Just stay out of this.

Isn't Pacheco your in-law's buddy?

What are you implying here?



Say it straight to my face.

This just got personal.

Whether you like it or not

I'm working this case.

I need to see the books
I turned over to you.

Those that belonged to Tiu.

This isn't your case anymore.

Sir...

Thank you.

As long as we don't have evidence

against General Pacheco

his identity will remain
within the three of us.

Sir, I'll just check on them.

How are you guys?



What time is your shift?

Move! Out of the way!

Move!

I'll find you a doctor.

Out of the way!

Out of the way!

Stop!

Cut him off!

Everyone, down on the ground!

Move!

Get out of here!

Bernabe!

Bernabe!

-Bernabe!
-I'm fine. Go after him!

Hell!

I'm from NBI. Nobody move!

Next station, Carriedo.

Freeze!

Move aside!

Stop!

Out of the friggin' car!

Hey!

...at different public schools

that will be used as precincts

in this upcoming local election.

Francis, you're not allowed here.

I said you can't be here. Francis!

Francis!

Later, Francis.

We need to talk, now.

Continue.

OK, yes sir. To continue

we are going to contact

the different zone officials

to secure key position for our volunteers

and watchers during election day.

We will also have the support

of both the Catholic Women's League...

Pol, the retired cop, was killed earlier.

Do you know him?

Who? What's the matter?

Do you know him?

Is it important that we do?

He spoke before he died.

The local police know of Pacheco's
involvement.

Why didn't you tell me about this?

The local police
will join the investigation.

This will be all over the news tomorrow.

Is the President involved?

It doesn't have to come to that.

-If you'd...
-Don't involve me in this mess.

This is as far as I go.

And what did you think
you were doing here, Francis?

You knew where this was going.

So don't play the innocent here.

I trusted you because I respected you.

And this is what I get in return?

You're involving me in your mess?

You're already involved

whether you like it or not.

Ever since you became associated
with Nicky.

Ever since you became family...

Keep Nicky out of this!

What will you do
if I don't play your game?

Will you have me killed just like Pol?

It wasn't me.

Freddie, go inside.

OK, here.

Come on.

OK.

Pacheco runs a murder-for-hire business.

I told him to stop it

especially now that he's running for

a government position.

Why do you protect him?

I can arrest him right now.

I was a client of his once.

Maybe...

twice.

If you arrest him...

it will be the end of me.

And you.

How could you do that?

I considered everything.

He was my last resort.

But you had it done twice.

You won't understand

because you're not in my position.

Francis!

Francis!

Make his eyebrows thicker.

There, that's right...

Add more facial hair.

His cheeks are thinner.

Frans.

What happened? Dad called.

What did he tell you?

Well...

he didn't sound OK.

He said that you two should talk.

I can't help him anymore.

Whatever problem he has,
it's his own fault.

Frans, how can you say that?

Can't you do him a small favour?

Favour?

Do you know what he's asking of me?

You sound as if he's asking you

to do something illegal.

Dad won't put you in harm's way.

That's what I thought too!

What are you saying?

No one's clean in this line of work.

Everyone's the same.

Your dad will drag us down with him!

Are you really that naïve?

We're both naïve, Frans.

You, when it comes to politics.

And I, when it comes to you.

Did I ever judge your father
for what he did?

What are you asking of me?

Do I really need to say it?

I didn't have to say anything for Dad

to order a hit on my mum's killer.

He did it quietly for our peace of mind.

How about you?

What are you gonna do for mine?

Hello?

Hello? Who's this?

Diana.

Who's this?

Have you forgotten me?

Daniel?

Why do you always go home alone at night?

Don't you know it's dangerous?

How are you?

When did you get back?

Is it true you were in Dubai?

So you're still paying attention
to my life.

Not really. Your mum told me.

Do you remember what I told you?

That I'd come back for you.

When are you going back to Dubai?

I found a job here.

I still have to travel, but only to Cebu.

So that I can be closer to you.

Yeah, as if I'd believe that.

I don't want to waste any more time.

We've already lost six years.

Let's not waste another minute.

Will you come back to me?

What's that?

I don't know.

I'm still figuring it out.

But if I get good at this

I'll make one for your baby.

Wishful thinking.

Nick.

Frans, he's going out in a while, OK?

Please? Just talk to him.

Reschedule it. I'm not available.

Call up Reyes.

Don't let Nicky worry again.

Tina, join me for breakfast.

Tina?

She's still asleep. Let her be.

Why is the door locked?

What time did her boyfriend leave?

Right after he dropped her off.

Tina, open the door.

-Come on, Mario.
-Why didn't you answer?

What are you doing here?

I just got here.

You slept over?

Answer me!

Did you sleep over?

We didn't do anything!

What are you doing here in my house?

What do you care if he slept over?

Get out of here.

Just go, Mario. Go!

You're never home.

The one time you are, you embarrass her?

Who do you think you are?

You have no right to order us around

just because you put food on the table.

Put it on my tab. I don't have change.

Sir, I have change here.

I left my wallet in the car. Later.

Sir, please pay for your food.

Please pay for your food.

You're just leaving your car here?

-Your colleagues might steal it.
-Sir!

Please pay for your food.

-Sir?
-Can I borrow 20 pesos?

I'll pay you back later.

This one, eight months ago in Caloocan.

Then six months ago in Muntinlupa.

Three weeks ago.

All of them were killed

to bury their connection to the General.

So, all their high-profile contractors

are safe.

Smart, right?

So, in short

all our potential witnesses are dead.

That's why we need to catch these two

from last night.

Then their middleman.

And then the middleman's boss

until we get evidence on the mastermind.

What if we don't find them?

Oh, right.

Why don't you ask your father-in-law?

These murders all share the same M.O.

All professional hits.

Especially these two.

They were your father-in-law's opponents.

This one...

caught in the ambush of his wife,
the mayor.

That's easy for you to say, Acosta.

But we don't have any solid proof.

It's all is in the ledgers.

But the ledgers are missing.

I found the ledgers.

They're in the other room.

I already went through all of them.

They just contain Tiu's drug transactions.

That can't be.

According to Pol

Tiu had evidence on them.

I'm sure it's in there somewhere.

Where are the ledgers? Show it to me.

I'll go through it myself.

Leave this to me, Tang.

The authorities suspect that

the two men were hired assassins.

Here's their cartographic sketches.

Tang!

Sir? You look like the guy on TV.

I said, you look like the guy on TV.

You look like the wanted gunman.

How could that be?

I don't know. You were here, right?

How could that be when I'm locked up
in here?

I don't know.

Come here. I need to talk to you.

Sir, I sprained my ankle.

Not you, I mean Daniel. Come quick.

-Me?
-Yes, you. Now.

Let's talk over there.

Do this first.

Tell Handsome I said thanks.

What took you...

Where's Daniel?

Rex needed to see me.

You can go now.

Hey, numbskull. Don't forget about later.

Give me a massage.

How are you?

What?

Still not feeling well?

What did Rex want?

He wants me to build a table

for his kid's birthday.

It's true.

That's all he said.

You can have it.

Come on.

Believe me.

That's all he said.

I won't take on a job without telling you.

After all that you've done for me?

You're like a father to me.

Eat something, OK?

Later.

So, how did you screw up?

What?

Come on. You can tell me.

Why else are you still a sergeant?

Why haven't you been promoted?

It was my boss who screwed up.

He was a corrupt son-of-a-bitch.

He's in jail now.

Thank God.

That's why my promotion gets blocked.

If I'm unlucky

I could even get demoted.

But that's OK.

At least I can sleep soundly at night.

While they have nightmares.

They don't get nightmares.

They're used to it.

That's what pisses me off.

Even their conscience sides with them.

But your dad was different.

Even when it was too late

he still tried to change.

What did you say?

Haven't you heard the stories?

Don't believe the rumours.

They were just trying to honour
a dead man.

I don't know.

But according to one story...

they cornered him.

He was about to flee the country.

That's why he was killed.

But the truth is that

he was going to rat out his colleagues.

Problem was

the higher-ups got wind of it.

Sir, we have a new lead.

-From where?
-The hotline.

You have a visitor.

Mario Maghari.

That's SP01 Acosta of the Tondo Police.

Answer his questions properly

and we'll have no problem.

Good evening.

Are you Mrs Maghari?

Yes? What is this about?

I'm Attorney Francis Coronel. NBI.

This is regarding your husband.

Did something happen to him?

This is my friend, Bhoy.

He's fixing my sink.

Please fix the sink upstairs first.

Do you remember me?

Sir?

You led me on quite a chase
the other night.

I couldn't catch my breath.

It's been a while since I worked out.

Sir?

What's this about?

This is about Johnny Tiu.

About Pol.

And probably a whole lot more.

How many have you killed?

I've been locked up in here for 13 years.

Even if I want to get out

I wouldn't be able to.

My partner's at your house right now.

We were separated then

for about three years?

I broke things off
because he didn't have a job.

He worked part time in construction.

It just wasn't enough for us.

I heard he went to jail.

He killed his foreman for cutting his pay.

So you got back together

when he was in prison?

Is that right?

In a way, yes.

When did you last see each other?

Wait a minute... when was that?

I visited him last month.

The tip we got isn't true then?

That he often comes home?

What? No, it isn't true.

Our neighbours love to gossip.

Don't believe anything they say.

My friend, he looks like Mario.

They must have mistaken him for Mario.

Would you like some water?

Tina.

Go to your room.

I have a visitor.

We know very well...

what your husband is up to in jail.

We need your cooperation.

Your daughter is in law school.

How do you afford that?

Do you pay taxes?

Pol told me everything.

Remember him?

Are you sure you don't know anything?

Is there anything you want to tell me?

Whoever's bringing you in and out of here

is probably talking to

your middleman right now.

You're dead meat

once I walk out of here.

I don't know what you're talking about.

You son-of-a-bitch!

-Hello?
-No one's talking.

Don't worry about it.

Your friend, Bhoy, is over at your place.

I don't know anyone called Bhoy.

From what I gather...

he's good at fixing your wife's plumbing.

Sorry, I meant the sink's.

How is your foot?

I see it's still swollen.

Your wife has already found another man.

And your life is in danger.

If I were you

I will save myself while I still can.

People like you

should just be shot in the head.

You're all scum.

Scum!

That bastard.

That friggin' bastard!

Let's tell Thelma. What do you say?

He didn't even show me the basic courtesy.

Cops are all arrogant cocksuckers.

Just because they carry a badge.

-To hell with 'em!
-I took on this job

all for her.

So that she'd come back to me.

How could she humiliate me like this?

I checked everything, sir.

No luck.

Maybe you can ask Chief.

He might know something

about your father's case.

That's OK. Thanks.

What do you want to discuss with me?

Sir.

Were you involved in my father's death?

That is classified information.

Did you kill my father?

You make it sound so personal, Francis.

But it was a decision made by us

to save the country

literally.

Don't be stupid.

Put that away.

Put that away.

This isn't the time for revenge.

The time will come

if you just use your head.

Now that you're on the inside

roll with it.

Do you think the President
and the lawmakers

are running this country?

Without us police and the military

democracy would be long gone.

No.

We are running this country.

Join us.

And maybe...

one day, you'll have your revenge

Attorney Francis Coronel, Jr.

Take care of your wife for me.

Hello, Tina?

This is your papa.

Pa.

How are you?

And your mum?

She's not here.

How are you?

What's new?

I was able to get off work.

I've known the truth
for quite a while now.

Don't worry about me.
I'm all grown-up now.

Take care of yourself.

Tina?

Stop! Out of the way!

Stop!

Stop! Stop right there!

You punk! I said, stop!

Just shoot me so we can end this now.

Just friggin' kill me!

-You're not going to change?
-No way!

You're such a disappointment!

Go to hell!

You bloody fool!

Put it on!

I don't want to get my hands dirty.

-I don't want to go to jail.
-Do it now!

Don't put me in jail, Pa.

I said, put it on!

I'll bring you to jail myself!

I'm your son.

Don't make me hurt you! Put it on!

Pa, I don't want to go to jail.

Pa, don't...

Hell! Boyet!

Boyet! Boyet!

-You're late.
-Sorry, something came up.

Let's go. No smoking inside.

No one else knows about Tiu's father.

My informant contacted me earlier.

He's ready to help out with the case.

But he's scared.

What does he have?

I don't know.

Whatever it is

I'm sure it's important.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so scared.

Pol is finally getting his payback.

We'll get that bastard, Pacheco.

Pull over first. I need to pee.

Charlie Tiu wanted to talk tomorrow.

And I said, "Why not tonight?"

We don't know what will happen tomorrow.

Pacheco might be the president by then.

I need to do something!

Hell...

We already know about it, Francis.

What's the update, Herman?

I don't know the exact location.

That's fine.

Ben's on his way to Charlie.

Hello?

Good. The policeman?

He's lucky.

It's not his time.

Laptop, desktop, records...

you know the drill.

The policeman didn't make it in time.

And Tiu's father?

He's quiet now.

You did the right thing, Francis.

What did I tell you?

Youngest NBI chief or youngest senator?

Good job, Francis.

We'll see you tomorrow.

It's done.

Ben's on his way to Charlie.

Warden's orders.

He needs help moving stuff.

Not you, Tatang.

Just him.

Let's go.

Tang.

Frans, let's go.

Which one?

Don't go.

What?

Dad's expecting us.

We told him we were joining them.

Something big is going to happen.

I'm sorry, Nick.

General Pacheco's going down.

I'm sorry, but I have to do my job.

Everyone involved will be exposed.

Nick...

Nick...

I'm sorry.

Daniel, you'll be replacing Tatang.

You can do it.

What will happen to Tatang?

We can't use him anymore.

Are you going to have him killed?

Forget about him.

He'll be a free man in two days.

Hello?

Acosta, where are you?

I'm near the office.

Hell.

If you didn't drive off last night

Tiu's father would still be alive.

You have a lot of explaining to do.

Acosta, pay attention. This is important.

I have evidence against the General.

It will also incriminate my father-in-law.

Oh, hell.

I'm nearby.

There's no turning back from here.

They'll meet up at the General's office.

We'll arrest them there.

Sir!

If you have solid evidence

I'll treat you
to a banana cue (street food).

Hey, wait...

what about your Range Rover?

I'm back to my old Honda.

Hell!

Get out of my way!

Francis... Francis!

Call an ambulance!

Francis... Francis!

Hang in there!

Get the ambulance here!

Francis...

To hell with you!

You friggin' bastards!

Hell!

Friggin' bastards!

Noted.

This is not right.

He wasn't someone
we could keep on a leash.

It's better to have him killed

while he's powerless.

Damn you to hell!

Pull over! You bloody murderers!

Who do you think you are? Gods?

Bravo! Bravo! Block that car.

What's going on?

Nobody touches him.

Everyone, stand down.

Pull over!

Pull over!

Get out of the car!

You friggin' murderers!

I said, stand down!

Stop shooting!

Stop shooting!

Stop shooting!

Stop shooting! Stop shooting!

Two more extra rice.

Diana.

Please. Let's talk.

I'm working.

Diana!

-Diana.
-I said, I'm working!

Why have you been ignoring me?

What's going on?

I went to Cebu.

I visited your so-called office.

They said there's no Daniel there.

Who are you really?

What is it? Are you a married man?

How many kids do you have?

Diana, it's not like that.

It's not like that.

You should go.

Let's love one another

in the name of God

Let's love one another

Let's love one another

in the name of God

Tang, could you send this to my kid
for me?

The address is right here.

Sure, just leave it on top.

Thank you and take care.

Here you go.

Your last meal here should be special.

Have an extra egg.

-Congrats!
-Thanks.

You've got a lot of stuff here.

Why did you accept everything?

Just leave them there.

You'll have a hard time tomorrow.

Tang... do you think

Rex would allow Diana to live here
with me?

Does she know about this?

I'm thinking of telling her.

This is no place to start a family.

So, what are your plans after you get out?

I don't have anywhere to go.

You'll figure it out.

I'm old.

It's hard to start over.

Tang, I haven't thanked you...

for everything.

If not for you...

I wouldn't have survived in here.

I'll never forget you.

I'm sure of that.

Tang... why?

We don't want to comment.

Please respect our privacy.

My family and also my daughter's.

We're going through a very

difficult time right now.

The lone gunman was identified

as SPO1 Joaquin Acosta.

He was immediately relieved of his duties

pending investigation.

Witness accounts say that

Acosta chased Pacheco's entourage...

That's how it is, screwed up.

No more comments from my client.

I'm ready to face any investigation.

I don't like the look of this place.

Be glad I brought you here.

If I'm still alive

I'll come pick you up when you get out.

And you can stay with me.

But if I'm not...

you'll have to take care of yourself.

No one else will do that for you.

You're gonna need that.

Good evening.

Welcome, Boyet.

Come in.

Babe, I used up all the water.

You son-of-a-bitch!

Bhoy! Bhoy!

Go to hell, Mario!

I hope you die and rot in hell!

Mario!

Bhoy!
