On the Job (2021): Season 1, Episode 6 - Sisoy - full transcript

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

I knew it. It's short by a thousand.

Here.

This is how he repays me

after I treated him to snacks?

You should learn to count.

It's too confusing

especially multiplication and division.

Numbers are not my thing either.

I repeated fourth grade

because of that damned
multiplication table.



5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30...

that's as far as I can go.

I can count up to 100.

After that I'm lost.

Jek was good with numbers.

He made it to high school.

Who did you kill to end up in here?

What did he do to you?

She slapped me around.

It was a hot day.

I fetched water for her bath.

My slippers gave out along the way.

When I got home

I was so thirsty,
I drank some water first.



She started hitting me on the back.

I saw red.

Well, I stopped her nagging for good.

What about you?

A common enough story.

My family lived hand to mouth.

Every time someone got sick

we'd end up starving.

So...

I became a thief.

A killer.

Good.

We'll be stuck in here for a long time.

I still dream of going home.

Boys, take care of your little cousin
please.

Thank you!

Hi, Dad!

-Hey!
-Hi.

-Hello!
-Hello...

Bernie!

-How are you?
-You look so good.

Thanks, Lauren. You too.

Bernie! So what's the big surprise?

Share it with us.

Are you pregnant, Lauren?

-Do I look pregnant?
-Of course not.

No offence meant!

This is all Bernie's fault.

Come on, tell everyone.

Well, OK...

It's yet to be announced

but it's already a done deal.

You're looking at the new running mate

of Senator Mariano

under New Philippines Party.

Now is that good news or what?

Of course! Congratulations!

Bernie!

Bloody hell.

You knucklehead.

I told you not to run for VP!

What does Pacheco want in exchange?

Everything I worked for here in La Paz?

You don't even really know your own son.

I do!

I'm your father.

Do you think you can hide
anything from me?

I'm telling you, you're not cut out

for the presidential palace.

Why not?

Admit it. You just can't accept the fact

that I'm better than you.

I can do more than

what you have done to La Paz.

Dad, for six years I will be VP.

Then I will be President.

And I will lead this backward country

and its ignorant people to progress.

Don't you want that?

The whole country will be thanking you

for producing a son like me.

Kill that dream of yours.

You'll end up hurting yourself.

I'm willing to do whatever it takes.

Nothing can stop me.

Withdraw your candidacy...

or you can forget about being my son.

It's either you're with me

or I'll do this on my own.

Your choice.

I'm sorry. Excuse us.

Boss, have you chosen a design?

I haven't been sentenced yet.

You have 20 cows.

Five of them die. How many are left?

-Zero.
-Why zero?

Because the rest are attending
the funeral.

-Idiot.
-Let's make it easier.

Try this.

Five plus two?

That's easy.

He really has to use his fingers.

You overshot!

-Moron.
-Forget it.

Why don't you sing us your song?

Sure, I can do that.

Your bath time song.

January, February, March, April, May

June, July, August, October, September

Retard!

You're such a retard!

October...

Moron!

What a moron!

Dumbass retard!

-Idiot!
-Retard!

You're not just stupid, you're a retard!

Dumbass fool!

Fool!

He wasn't
under the witness protection program.

We don't know who was sheltering him.

No one wants to talk.

This will weaken the case against Obet.

He was the only witness for the case.

I'm going to the town hall.

Today's the day for the filing
of candidacy.

Take over here, OK?

Sheila,
did you finish what you were doing?

Hello, Ma.

How are you?

I can't stay on the phone for long.

Roman, this is Sisoy.
I'll make this quick.

Did you have something to do with

the disappearance of the missing eight?

Yeah.

Are you a hitman for the mayor?

Yeah.

Did Mayor Eusebio order the hit?

Yes, Ma.

When are you coming to visit me?

I have lots of stories for you.

I just got myself a tattoo.

It looks just like you.

Do you have anything to do with
the death of the witness

who testified against Obet?

I can't do anything in here.

Roman...

if we get a break

will you be willing to testify?

I'm really homesick.

You've got to hurry, Ma.

They might transfer me to Manila soon.

OK.

I'm trying to gather enough evidence.

Hang in there.

We can't just take you into custody.

It's dangerous.

OK, Ma. I'll wait.

Who were you talking to?

My mother.

Why is no one picking up?

She must have gone out to the rice field.

Hello! Son?

Is this Roman's mother?

Who else would it be?

Who are you?

Why are you using my son's phone?

Did you steal it?

Hey, you! Answer me!

Hello?

He... hello?

We're going somewhere.

-Hello?
-Sir.

This is Sisoy.

Sisoy who?

Sisoy Salas. We received a tip

that someone's going to ambush you.

Really? And you expect me to believe that?

Believe me or don't, it's up to you.

But if you want to stay alive to run for
mayor I suggest you take a different route

to the town hall. It's your call.

Let's go.

OK. Wait.

Let's wait a bit more.

What now?

-Let's go.
-Wait. Not yet.

Wait.

Wait. One second.

OK, go!

Quick!

Hell!

Positive, sir!

Hell, I'm going to get it from Santillan.

Did you tell anyone about today's job?

We're the only ones who know, right?

And Roman and Obet.

I bet it's Roman. No one else.

Lay off him, asshole.

He's not one to rat. Maybe you did.

Me? I hate these rich folks.

Damn that Vicente!

What about Alex's group?

They're on another mission,
another target.

Who else could it be?

It couldn't have been any of us.

I'm telling you, it's Roman.

Someone must answer for this.

Boss has had it with me.

Vicente beefed up his security.

We might not get another chance.

This is so friggin' screwed up.

What if nobody cares?

That won't happen.

No sender's name or address, OK?

This is an anonymous tip.

I put in a contact number.

Among the candidates

the Eusebio name still gets a lot of buzz.

Sir, just a few questions, please.

Senator Eusebio,
tell us about your platform

now that you're running for VP.

Well, during my term
as the mayor of La Paz

I fought crime and corruption.

Which I learnt from the very best

my dad, Mayor Eusebio.

Does he support your candidacy?

Of course! Actually this was his idea.

Senator Eusebio's running mate

did not join him at the filing

because according to his horoscope

today's not his lucky day.

Joni, we need more memory sticks.

At least five.

...and what they can do for the country.

Reporting live from the COMELEC

Noel Cabrera for TVB.

Bernie, I'm throwing a party tomorrow.

Anyone you wish to invite?

If you leave it to me

it will be the same guest list as always.

Just invite everyone.

Bernie...

No Eusebio candidate

has ever lost.

Let's sweep this.

Get rid of Obet.

Wait for my signal.

What did he do?

Somebody warned
one of Vicente's bodyguards.

You lucked out.

I know it was you.

Who did you tell?

Your mama?

I'm onto you.

You'll trip up one of these days.

Son of a bitch!

Get a bloody axe!

Yeah, I'm the rat.

But you tripped up first!

You son of a bitch!

Who's the moron now, huh?

A good good good morning to you

my brothers and sisters!

Wakey wakey! Stretch those muscles

and knock on that head. Is anyone home?

How about you, Bebs?

Yes, Buddy!

Sisoy.

Santillan is outside...

looking for you.

A riot broke out in La Paz Provincial Jail

sparked allegedly by a feud

between a gang leader and a jail guard.

15 inmates and five jail guards

have been rushed to the hospital...

Joe!

What brings you here?

Good thing you showed up.

You were this close to getting fired.

What's the surprise you have for Manong?

Surprise?

Oh, the one about Vicente?

It turned out to be nothing.

Just a bad tip. Too bad, really.

Next time

don't go bothering the councillors, Sisoy.

If you need anything done, call me.

Got it. I'll do that next time.

So what have you found out?

That Arnel and Pacheco met up?

Watch it, Sisoy.

Manong knows everything

that's going on around here.

If you have any questions, ask.

Don't sneak around like a thief.

Manong might get the wrong idea

and think you're working
for the other side now.

There's a party tonight. Be there.

Good morning.

Sisoy.

Sisoy.

-Sisoy.
-Leave us.

What's wrong with you?

Why didn't you use the video of Bernie?

Arnel didn't use it either.

So what if Bernie's gay?

People don't care about that anymore.

Everyone's focus is on the Bohol siege.

The tips you sent out
will just gather dust.

Sisoy, Obet is dead.

What if your source is next?

Or us?

Why don't we post it online ourselves?

No one will pick it up, Weng.

And where would that get us?

We need help.

I don't know, Sisoy.

Weng, leave town.

Take a vacation.

You're a thorn in Manong's side.

Better to be safe.

And you?

I'll push my luck.

What are you planning to do?

I'm going all in, Weng.

We're laying everything
on the line anyway.

Better make sure it flies.

Sometimes...

I wonder

if any of this is worth it.

In all my years doing this

there's been more pain than joy.

I should've been a singer instead.

You know, I used to make prank calls

to your radio show.

My day wasn't complete

until I'd pissed you off.

I knew it was you
I was cutting off the air.

Smart-ass Ditas, running off to Manila!

I knew it!

It wasn't my connection that was bad.

You were hanging up on me.

Sisoy.

Manong.

You've heard the good news about Bernie?

Yes, sir.

I'm throwing a party tonight.

Many will be attending.

You have to come.

Let's give Bernie our full support.

Yes, sir. You can count on me.

The old Sisoy you missed is back.

Watch over me.

We're not leaving without you, Pa.

Just do as I say.

I won't be here to protect you
all the time.

Won't you reconsider?

Glenn and the others will understand

if you don't do this.

Is that what you want?

For me to keep mum?

I can do that.

I can look the other way.

But this will happen again and again.

People will die, they will go missing.

When should I speak up?

When my own kids become
their next victims?

Mama's here to see us.

That's not Mama.

Dad, Sisoy's here.

Take care of the guests.

Sisoy!

Hey, you know you can't eat that.

I saw that.

Sisoy, come and eat.

I know that's your favourite.

I'm good, Manong.

I have no appetite.

I think you frightened Sisoy.

Not really, Manong.

Why is he so pale then?

No, Mayor. Sisoy is just anaemic.

Here Sisoy, eat something.

Taste this, it's so crispy.

You know...

you really surprised me.

You became a journalist all of a sudden.

Let me explain.

No need for that, Sisoy.

As long as...

the past remains buried.

OK, Sisoy?

Sadiwa, how's the new jail director?

But Manong, I don't think I can bury

what I've uncovered.

You killed Arnel

and in the process, seven others.

Excuse us.

We'll be outside.

So...

you think you're a journalist now?

With that little information you have?

You don't have a clue, Sisoy.

No matter how hard you try...

you'll always be one-fourth.

One-fourth reporter

one-fourth extortionist

one-fourth singer, one-fourth entertainer.

Just admit it.

You had them killed, right?

Thanks to me

you became Buddy.

You should have been dead by now

but I protected you from Vicente.

I've paid my dues.

I used to think so highly of you.

I thought you were different from Vicente.

As it turns out...

you're just a different breed of monster.

You have some nerve.

Fine.

Keep talking that way...

and you'll soon

find those people you're looking for.

Where did you take them?

To the bottom of the sea.

They're now resting

in the belly of sharks.

Now that you know

what are you going to do about it?

Don't you have a conscience, Manong?

You're in this state right now

because of your conscience.

This is such a pity, Sisoy.

Such a pity.

I have no use for you now.

You're not leaving here.

Are you going to kill me, Manong?

Go ahead. Kill me.

Killing me won't end this.

Someone will continue the fight.

At least one of those I sent
the evidence to

will do something about it.

What evidence?

What evidence?

Who did you send it to?

Samson.

The networks. And many more.

You son of a...

Manong, not here.

Dammit!

Go to hell!

Go ahead.

Go ahead, Manong. Kill me!

Now the whole world knows what you did.

We're on FB live.

Brothers and sisters...

Wake up! Knock on those heads!

There's something in there now.

Give me that!

Wakey wakey! Stretchy stretchy!

Brothers and sisters, wake up!

Knock on those heads!

Go, Santillan!

Show them who you really are.

Wake up, people! Knock on that head!

It's not empty anymore!

Wake up!

What evidence?

Who did you send it to?

To the bottom of the sea.

Who are you calling?

Dad, General Pacheco can fix this.

Don't worry.

Dad, I'm only trying to help.

Your ambition will be the end of us.

What's with this sudden trip?

Buddy's time is up.

Buddy who?

Everyone's buddy, Sisoy. The reporter.

Joni... Joni!

-Pa!
-Come on, Joni.

Wake your sister up. We're leaving.

Be downstairs in five minutes.

You weren't answering my calls.

Hurry!

Pack only the important stuff!

Diane, wake up! We're leaving!

That's enough!

Whatever you've packed is enough.

We're out of time, we have to go!

Diane! Joni!

Diane, hurry!

Hurry, let's go!

Pass me the bag... come on.

Get in, Diane!

Diane, get in.

Isn't that Buddy?

Yulo, Plan B! Call Santillan.

Dammit!

Pa!

-Pa!
-It's OK.

Hello, Boss? We're on Plan B.

Hell, we missed them just by a bit.

Set up a checkpoint along Bantayan.

That's where they're headed.

Pa!

Pa, let's go!

Diane, keep it together.

How did you lose them?

Where the hell are we?

Well...

Pa?

Back up.

Diane, pass the bag to your sister.

Get the money, Joni.

You're getting off here.

No, Pa.

We're not leaving you.

You have to.

What about you, Pa?

You don't even know how to use that.

Listen.

Listen carefully.

Do you remember your Aunt Nancy's place?

Go there.

Manong doesn't know about that place.

I'll meet you there.

When I say go, go.

Go, go!

There!

Get out!

Joni!

Diane!

Get down! Now!

Leave the reporter to me.

Roman?

Come with me.

Let's make things right.

Do what you want.

I'm going home.
