Sorry. Sorry.
Really now?
So serious...
Like what you see?
Hey, aren 't you buying this?
It's too expensive.
Not bad. It's worth it if you really want it.
Why don 't you get it?
Come on, I know you want it.
You can 't do that!
It's only illegal if you get caught.
You 're welcome.
JD, your partner in crime.
And you 're?
Just a second.
Yes mom,
I'm on my way. Yup.
So-
Yes Mom, I'm on my way.
Hello again.
You didn 't get the book you want?
Why didn 't you get it?
You can 't always get what you want.
I disagree.
You can always get what you want.
I'll buy you that book...
if you have coffee with me.
Come on.
It's just a few steps away.
It's raining anyway.
It'll stop.
Let's make a deal.
If the rain doesn 't stop after I count to ten...
you 'll have coffee with me.
My treat.
one...
Two...
Three...
Four...
Five...
Six...
Seven, oh my god it's still raining...
Eight...
Nine...
Nine-
You can 't always get what you want.
Sir Eric is here.
- Good morning, Sir. - Good morning.
This way to backstage, Sir.
No, it's okay. I'll just stay at the back.
This way, Sir.
It's been 27 years since my father-in-law...
Don Jaime Lobregat put up Liberty Telecom,
Eric!
- Auntie. - Your mom's been looking for you.
Ieader of the industry,,,
because of our employees' commitment to excellence,
And of course your continued faith and confidence in us,
So to all of you, thank you very much.
Now, we're ready for your questions.
Your son Henry was deputy CEo of Liberty Telecom...
and Liberty Air before he passed away two years ago,
What's your succession plan now for these two companies?
Right now, there's no plan.
I plan to live forever.
I will never retire,
I'm still young, you know?
I'm only turning 25 next month.
Really!
You can ask my 24-year-old beautiful wife.
Which is it?
Dark-skinned or fair-skinned?
Dark-skinned, right?
So long as he's human.
Sari, I have to go.
Please take care of Mr. Domingo's trousers.
- I will. - Alright, bye.
Slim or chubby?
Doesn't matter.
So it's okay if he's a bit on the heavy side?
So long as he's as cute as you, Mamon!
Jackpot!
He looks just like me!
oops!
Uhh, Ms. Sari...
Do you believe that age doesn 't matter, right?
Huh?
Don't feel bad.
You're still young. You'll get over me.
Never!
You're the one I want to marry!
Whatever happened to courtship?
But all roads lead to the church anyway.
And I promise Ms. Sari, I will never leave you.
I will never make you cry...
the way my father does to my mother.
I might be the one to make you cry, Mamon.
Why do you say that?
I'm not easy to love.
Let's go home, Mamon.
You can date her when you grow a neck!
- Joke! - Mom!
I'm falling in love with you, Eric.
Let's not complicate our lives, Carly.
So...
take a shower and go home.
Stay out of this, Mom! She's out of line!
- And you're being a smart ass! -...going out without permission.
- Give me the baby. - I'm just telling the truth!
Do you know the truth?!
- What?! - You're lucky, you're in college!
Going out without permission.
Your brother finished only up to high school.
Stop it you two!
Why? Going out without permission!
Go! Stand in the corner!
Why?
Going out without permission.
Stand in the corner...
Ms. Andres, I'm sorry.
- I'm very sorry. - It's alright, Grandma.
Let's go.
How long have you been a nurse, child?
I'm not a nurse. I'm a seamstress.
Seamstress?
My son, Pablo, was a tailor.
And my granddaughter, Sari...
she's a seamstress too.
You see this?
She made a thousand suits just to pay for my surgery.
She's very kind, pretty and timid.
But don 't tell anyone. It's just between us two.
You should go to sleep now, Grandma. You have to rest.
How was your exam? Did you answer all the questions?
of course auntie.
I hope I get a perfect score so I'll have a medal.
Guia! Pack all your things.
Yes, uncle.
Let the kids prepare their food themselves.
They know how to do it.
Joey! Pack your own lunch.
Yes, dad. In a while.
You should get dressed. The kids are running late.
Why are you still here? The kids will be late for school.
They won't!
Sari, can you take care of the electric bill?
I used up all my money for your sister's ultrasound.
- I hope it's okay. - It's all right, brother.
Thank you.
Mom, can you pay the electric bill?
Abby will get off late from school.
Class? Yes, all class dismissed!
- All class out! Dismissed! - okay, I'll do it...
before heading to Laguna.
Laguna?
Why are you going to Laguna?
Are you going to visit Marian?
Pablo, you know I don 't like that woman.
I hate her!
Why are you going to Laguna?
It's Jerry.
Won 't his wife mind that you 're visiting your boyfriend?
Jerry passed away.
He was buried last week.
Buried? Are you dead?
Can you lend me 500 pesos?
For my fare...
Don 't worry.
- I'll pay you once I get to France- - I'm not asking you to.
Even so.
I owe you and your siblings too much.
- Just 500 pesos. - You should visit my father's grave too.
Have it cleaned and bring him flowers.
Bring the kids too if you like.
Might make him happy.
I'll go ahead.
Thank you.
- Be a good girl. - Yes, Ma'am. Bye.
I don't know why we're doing this, JD.
This is just a small project.
I agree, this is small time.
But if we impress Mr. Almonte's tailor...
I'm sure he'll give us the 100 million-peso project in Palawan.
And that's big time, dude!
That's a weird strategy.
You have a weird client.
Who takes business advice from his tailor?
Brian, if there's one thing I learned from working for Liberty Telecom...
it's all a game.
How long has Mr. Almonte been a client?
I made his first suit in 1973.
I was a master cutter then,
My father was his tailor.
Gentlemen, please take your seat.
My wife and I renewed our vows ten years ago.
It was held in Mr. Almonte's hotel. He paid for everything.
Robert is a kind man.
Why do you want to renovate your shop, sir?
Emil!
You said your female cutter is good!
The measurement is off! This is so loose!
Sir, if I made it any tighter, you 'll look like a sausage.
I am paying good money for this suit,
I want you to do this! And not your amateur cutter!
Don 't worry Mr, Zarate, we'll fix it,
Sari.
Excuse me gentlemen. This will just take a second.
What's with the head to foot thing, huh?
You 've done that twice.
Checking me out from head to foot.
When a woman looks at me that way...
she usually wants to undress me.
You?
What's the first thing you'll take off me?
Your pants.
Really?
Yes, so I can fix them.
The cut is not right.
Gives you big thighs. Makes you look shorter.
okay.
Sari.
Finally!
I spent a whole week trying to guess your name.
Wanna have coffee?
I wanna have coffee with you.
I remember you told me that...
I can 't always get what I want.
But you know Sari, I'm not giving up.
Have coffee with me.
Sorry.
But please.
Hello.
Seriously?
No, no. Fine. Brian and I are on our way back.
- You can 't always get- - I get what I want.
Because I want it.
I really do.
Dude!
Emergency meeting at the office.
- Chief is arriving in an hour. - I know. I know.
- Hi, I'm Brian! - Let's go!
It will rain tomorrow.
Tomorrow, I'll get what I want.
A prayer? For what?
For us to meet again?
Ahh, I want that,
Rain! Come on!
You look happy.
You have a new girlfriend?
I know you.
When you 're in love you can 't put your phone down.
- Really? - Yes!
She's not my girlfriend.
Not yet.
- How are you? - I'm well. Thank you.
Does it have to be a national holiday for you to come see me.
I miss you son. I hardly see you.
Mom, we were together just last week at the Stockholder's meeting.
Yes, but you didn 't stay long.
Next time Eric, I want you to wear a suit, okay?
I don 't want the stockholders to forget that you 're next in line...
and not Alex Pineda. You are a Lobregat.
Is that why you wanted to see me today, Mom?
Your dad wants to make you a Deputy CEo.
That's what you want. Not what he wants.
Eric...
Mom, I tried working in your company before...
and I resigned.
Why? Because I couldn 't get along with your husband.
Your dad is a good man.
Besides, the company is part of who you are.
It's your legacy.
Come on, Mom. Legacy?
Why can 't you accept that I'm happy where I am now?
I'm an architect, not a businessman.
That's bull and you know it, Eric.
You were born to follow the footsteps of your dad and your grandpa.
Mom...
we both know that if Henry is still alive...
we wouldn 't even be having this stupid conversation.
But your brother is not here anymore.
You're the only son I have left.
- Good morning, Architect! - Good morning.
Master Emil is not yet here. olga, Sir JD's here.
- That's okay. - okay. Sir, thank you.
- Where's Sari? - Sorry, sir. It's Thursday.
So?
Sari's off on Thursdays.
Where is she?
It's loose? Where?
Where can I find her?
Daddy, bye!
Alright!
See you next week!
Daddy, bring us something from Hong Kong.
- Bye! - Bye!
Sari!
Hi!
What took you so long?
I was reading.
Really. Did you finish the book?
- Not yet. - Why not?
It's difficult to understand.
- What's so difficult about it? - Do I really have to read it?
of course!
Because you are going to put up your own business.
Rico, I don 't want to.
The last time I spoke to Emil...
he told me you 've improved a lot.
In fact, you 're the best cutter he has ever trained.
You can already open your own tailoring shop.
I can 't.
If you can 't do it on your own...
we can be partners.
No.
- I can give you capital. - No need.
- I'll lend it to you. - I told you no.
Why are you always refusing my help?
Because you 've given me and my family so much already.
- Sweetheart. - I can 't leave Master Emil.
That's why I wanted you to read that book.
So you could lose that third-world attitude!
- You 're getting mad again. - I'm not mad.
Don 't be mad. I cooked your favorite fish stew...
and paella.
Did you marinate the cod fish?
Yes, overnight. I wouldn 't want you to scold me again.
Is that a joke?
You got me.
How did the stockholders meeting go?
Well, everyone is so worried because I'm retiring in two years.
You know, I wouldn 't have this problem if Henry, my boy, hadn 't died.
But you have another son, right?
- What's his name again? - You mean Eric?
Well, Eric is complicated.
We don't really get along.
- But he's still your son. - The boy hates me.
Let's not talk about my family.
This is our day so tonight is about us.
That's a good book.
Exciting.
Best coffee in the world.
My gosh.
You are so beautiful.
Do you know that?
You really don 't have a boyfriend?
I don 't. But someone's interested.
I want to meet him. Let's size him up.
No need. I turned him down.
Right away? Why?
Very big age difference.
It's the same for us.
How old is he anyway?
Eight. It's Mamon.
But seriously...
If you want to entertain suitors...
Make sure they're not senior citizens like me.
Why do you always say that?
Because you deserve someone better.
Let's go to bed.
- Where's mom? - Sir, she's downstairs.
Mom.
Eric!
Eric, you came!
You came because you love your mom, right?
- You want a drink? - What the hell happened, Mom?
It's Thursday!
It's the one day of the week that makes me want to regret everything!
Just everything.
He's with her, you know.
Every fucking Thursday.
- Fucking every Thursday! - What?
What's new, Mom?
What's new?
What's new is this woman named Rosario Alfonso.
Now you have a name.
Yes, I've got a name.
Such a heavenly name.
But that slut will burn in hell!
You know I spoke to Attorney Villanueva just today.
You know what he told me?
He said that your dad is leaving this woman ten million in his will.
Ten million!
He can't do that right! He just can't do that to me!
I know. We'll just contest that will, okay?
Right? You and me?
You know, when I married your dad, he was poor. He didn't have any money.
I made him! My dad made him!
Why is he doing this to me, son?
Why don't you just end it?
So you'll stop hurting.
I can't.
When I married him, I promised for better or worse.
I love him.
Why is he doing this to me, son?
He keeps doing that to you, because you keep forgiving him.
He already had a string of mistresses the first year of marriage.
You're right! That's true!
But you know what, he always came back.
He would go but then he would come back.
Even when I made a mistake...
one day you 're gonna love some woman so much...
that you'll be willing to forgive her anything and everything.
I have been a good mother and wife,
- My God, Mom,,, - I have been,,,
a good mother and wife, yes?
Don 't leave me, Eric.
I have a secret to tell you.
It's a secret. Don 't tell anybody.
Don 't hate me for it, okay?
I'm sorry. What have I done?
My head hurts.
Have I not suffered enough?
Have I not paid for my sins? Why can 't he forgive me, Eric?
Why?
Because you slept with another man...
and worse you had a son.
And everyday, I remind him of your sin.
Eric, did you say something?
I love you, Mom.
That came with hot coffee and a really sweet smile.
"Sari,"
"Because you want it, and because I want to give it to you,"
"From your partner in crime."
Girl, if he courts you, say yes right away!
- I'll see you later, Alex. - Yes, Sir.
Did you come to ask for your job back?
No.
Because you know...
if you want it you can have it back.
After Henry died...
Mom asked me to work for you again.
And I said yes,
But you said you didn 't need me.
After all I can never be as good as my brother.
I was grieving.
So was l.
When he was still alive,,,
you made me feel that I never even existed.
When he died, you wanted me to die with him.
Come on, Eric! Grow up!
I need a deputy CEo.
I need you to lead this company.
Me?! Lead your company?!
You told me to my face that I don't have any talent for business!
I was angry.
For God's sake, Eric!
I'll never work for you again.
I'm never giving you the pleasure...
of calling me a loser every single day again.
- You never fail to disappoint me. - oh, I live to disappoint you...
Father.
It's my greatest joy.
You 're so arrogant.
What did you expect?
You raised me.
I didn 't raise you to turn your back on me when I needed you the most!
You ungrateful boy!
You 're turning your back on the family...
and the company that fed and sent you to school...
just because of your stupid pride!
What do you want?
You want me to get down on my knees and beg you to come back?
What kind of a son are you?
The kind that doesn 't want you for a father!
Shit!
Hello, Brian?
- JD! - Brian, let's go.
Yes, sir. Where are you?
The shop's closing at 8PM.
Master Emil and Sari are waiting for you.
I can't do it, Brian.
Take me out of the project.
Huh?
You 're the one who came up with this weird plan...
so don 't tell me you can 't do it!
Bri, I have to go back to Liberty Telecom.
When you get back to your family business,,,
then you can walk away from this project!
But right now, you 're still the architect of this project.
So get your ass over there and do your job!
I hope one day, I can go to Saville Row,
The world's best master cutters work there.
Where is that place?
In UK.
- Save up for your fare, Mamon. - Take Sari out on a date there.
I'm really serious about you, Ms. Sari.
Mamon...
Don 't you like me?
Whom do you like?
Someone old,
- JD. - As old as you?
If you want a suit made, please go downstairs.
No, Mamon. He's JD.
He's the architect who will renovate this building.
oh, it's you.
You're the one who gave this book and the cold coffee?
Mamon Cruz.
Are you really named Mamon?
Are you really named JD?
What does JD mean?
It's a shortcut of my father's name.
Shortcut? JD? Junior of Daddy?
You could say that.
How about you? Where did your name come from?
Ramonsito. I'm also my dad's junior.
There you go. Your abs are really full!
Do your homework.
I hope Architect courts Sari.
I hope so too, so she can stop being with that old man.
There you go again.
That's just plain gossip. Sari's not that kind of woman.
Gossip? It's been going on for five years and you 're still in denial?
oh come on.
I'm sorry.
What time did Master leave?
Around 4PM.
- Sorry I'm not good at explaining... - No, it's okay.
I just want to know how you use this space,
the flow of traffic.
Well, our customers stay here most of the time.
They usually make small talk first, before they tell us what they want.
The senior citizens, most especially.
- They're looking for someone to listen- - So, you always entertain older men?
Yes, most of our clients are older gentlemen.
old and rich.
Yes, many ofthem,
After they tell us the design that they want,
they choose the fabric,
Here are the swatches, Here are the fabrics,
- You have many elderly suitors? - What?
I suppose the patterns are made here.
Yes, but before making a pattern, we have to take measurements.
Let's go to the fitting room.
Are you okay?
You seem upset.
What's the matter?
No, I'm good.
So what happens here?
In our shop, we take measurement privately.
Many clients are embarrassed when other people know their measurements.
In here, whatever you don 't like about yourself...
is just between you and your master cutter.
So how do you do your job?
Would you like a demonstration?
Sure. Make me a suit.
You?
I want to know how good you are.
okay, I'll just get my things.
Isn't thisjob for men?
Yes,
Women cutters are rare,
Yes,
My father was a tailor.
I grew up exposed to this,
Does he work here?
He used to.
He was Master Emil's favorite.
I was 14 when he died.
He got run over.
That's why you 're close with Master...
Yes.
Master Emil?
He and his wife treated me like one of their own.
I learned everything I know from him.
From him, and another man who saw my potential.
He trusted me to cut and sew his suit.
That was my first suit as a master cutter.
Who is this man?
I'll measure the inseam now.
Should I go on?
Measuring that?
Twenty-five.
And a half.
You know?
You know, I think I've had enough.
There's this dinner I need to go to.
I have to go.
JD!
Thanks for the book and the coffee!
I didn't raise you to turn your back on me when I needed you the most!
You ungrateful boy!
What do you want?
You want me to get down on my knees and beg you to come back?
What kind of a son are you!
The kind that doesn 't want you for a father!
You 're wasting my time.
- Leave. - No, you leave.
Leave my mother and end her misery.
You really think your mother would want me to leave her?
Leave your mistress then!
Don 't tell me what to do.
Isn 't adultery a big enough insult to your wife?
Now you 're leaving money for your mistress!
Have you no shame?
- Careful with your words- - I don 't care!
I'm just telling the truth!
Who's your mistress anyway?
Another gold-digging beauty queen?
Tell me!
Who's your newest whore?
You really want to know? Fine!
She is Rosario Alfonso.
Sari.
She makes my suits and she's a decent woman.
And unlike you,
she knows the meaning of gratitude and loyalty to family,
The next time you call her a whore,
I'm gonna hurt you so bad,,,
you 're not going to be able to say these things ever again!
Get out of my office!
Now I know why you can 't do it.
of all the women...
So Architect had a suit made. Do it well.
I will.
Leave it there.
- Thank you. - My team is studying your proposal.
- Thank you. - We'll give you an answer by next week.
okay Tom, bye.
What's this?
This my dear, is your gift to me.
Don't worry, Rico.
This is much cheaper than what you plan to leave your mistress.
Who's the artist?
Juancho Diego?
It's an lmao... son of the National Artist.
Why can 't you forgive me, Rico?
You cheated on me first.
And you haven 't stopped cheating on me since then.
- While I did it only once. - Just once. But you loved him.
And you never loved your women?
- Never! - What about this one?
I guess I'll have to get you another painting.
Perfect fit!
It's different when you do it, Master. The droop is smooth!
Thanks.
By the way, I need a new Barong Tagalog.
I'm attending a wedding in Tuguegarao.
- You remember Mila? - Mila...
Mila Tendido? The Regional Director of Tourism there?
Yes.
- Excuse me. - She asked about you the last time we met.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
- Sir, we can elevate this by 0.3m. - okay, we can start here.
Good morning, Architect! Engineer is inside.
You can choose from these.
Sir...
Leave us, please.
I thought you said you are out of this project?
No, I made some revisions on the layout that I did before, look at it.
Let's go over it with Master Emil.
How long will all the repairs take?
If you stop all operations, it will take 3-4 months.
Is that so?
That long?
The longer it is. The more costly it becomes.
okay, I'll think about renting a place while you renovate this.
Architect, since you're here, why don't you try your suit on?
Sari...
You're a mistress.
What?
Mistress. Wardrobe mistress.
That's what they call female master cutters.
I read that in the book I gave you.
Ahh...
Why aren 't you here on Thursdays.
- It's my day-off. - It's your day-off?
So we can have coffee and dinner tomorrow.
- I can 't. - Do you have a boyfriend?
Will someone get mad if we go out tomorrow?
I'm getting tired of this!
I'm getting tired of flirting with you...
I like you. You like me.
I want to go out with you. What's the problem?
Why can't I get what I want?
ow! Shit!
Hello?
What? Grandma's missing?
Did you call Mrs, Conching?
Call her! Do I have to tell you everything?!
Call me when you find her!
oh my God...
Stop the train!
- Stop the train! - Wait! Stop!
Grandma!
- Stop the train! - Grandma...
Grandma, you scared me!
You had me worried!
I was waiting for Mario!
- The war is over! - Grandma!
- Color? - Red,
- R... E... D. - Number?
Three!
- Your crush also has a crush on you! - That's so cheesy!
Kids, stop pestering JD.
I hope they're not annoying you.
- Uncle JD, look at my dress. - Wow, that's pretty.
- Is he your boyfriend? - No.
Is he courting you?
Does he like you?
I won't get married, mom.
- Let me! Let me! - Wait. Here's what we should do.
Ask Aunt Sari who should perform first. Go!
- Aunt Sari... Aunt Sari! - Pick me! Me! Me!
Eenie, meenie, minie moe! Who will be the first to go?
Me! Me!
You ended up staying late.
The kids were quite a handful,
- I'm sorry, - No, It's okay,
I'm sorry.
What I did at the shop... was borderline harassment.
Stupid...
Really stupid. I'm really sorry.
Thank you for your help. Thank you.
It was nothing.
You really love your Grandma, right?
So much.
She raised us while my mom worked abroad.
She took care of us when my father died.
My mother never came back for us.
She ran away with her co-worker in France,
Grandma raised us all on a public school teacher's meager salary.
We all finished high school.
I'd love to go out with you tomorrow.
But I already promised my Thursdays to someone else.
I owe him my grandmother's life,
He's forcing you to pay your debt?
He never asked me to pay him back.
So when he asked for my Thursdays,
I gave them freely.
Is he married?
Yes.
