Viona deliberately leaves her car lights on, to help her see in that dark place. Indeed, the condition of that place is so messy without any light. At the very least, she is aware of the existence of a battered minivan there in a slightly hidden place. She approaches one rusty iron staircase, and then presses a button hidden behind it. “Judeo, are you there? I'm going to get in!” she says. But she doesn't get any response. Judeo deliberately keeps silent, pretending that no one in the monitoring room is listening to her call. Even when Viona tries to call Junior, Judeo gives a sign to Junior not to respond to Viona. “I'm going to get back to my room. Don't let her in,” says Judeo. Junior’s face wrinkles. Not wanting to get into trouble with Viona, he decides to leave that monitoring room and locks himself in a different bedroom. There’s only Chappy left in that monitoring room, looking so clueless what he should do in that situation. Viona is still calling for both Judeo and Jun
Mandy is as shocked as Victor, to find the boss directly taking her stupid brother home. She has known that Victor is the one who kept Chappy captive this whole time. But she never expected that he was going to take him back home in person. After all, she just had a message from Gambino that the deal between them and Victor was canceled. Now she is finding it hard to put on her usual cheerful and jovial face like how she usually behaved at work. “I bet you are already familiar with her. She works at your company,” says Chappy, breaking the silence between Victor and Mandy. “So, she is the sister you were talking about before?” asks Victor. Mandy is still unready for that outcome. She is still standing there with a blank face, until Chappy shakes her mind. “Sis, are you going to let us stand here until morning?” he asks. “Oh, sorry. Please, come in! I can’t just believe the boss is now visiting my humble apartment,” replies Mandy as she takes them in. When they get inside, Chappy
Gambino stops and turns around. He then takes a few steps closer to Albert, and brings his face so close. He speaks to him slowly, word by word, with so much emphasis. “Do whatever you want to do. But for your own good, we have all the evidence, of all the money flows that lead to the money laundering you have done with La Marca. Now, do you have any idea who is the one who runs that organization? Do you have any evidence to prove my connection with them?” Gambino turns away and leaves him. And Albert can only stare back with a mounting anger. He might not be able to bring Gambino to the police, but it doesn’t mean he doesn’t have other ways to pay him back. And Victor, he is still busy with the empty seat that Leonard has left at the marketing department. He just leaves his office to Judy, and helps the team at the marketing department in dealing with the clients and any prospective business partners. And somehow, he really has some great skill in dealing with the prospective clie
Victor becomes silent for a moment. His facial expression turns so dark and serious. Viona approaches him, but he immediately gives her a sign that he needs to be alone for a while. And so, he walks back toward the office of the marketing manager, as Dennis continues with his proposal. [I believe you are already acquainted with each other. I saw the two of you at Andrew’s wedding.] “That Mr. Gambino? He is working for Albert Wilson, right?” asks Victor before he locks the door. [Yeah, he just resigned this morning. I don’t know why, but he asked my help to find him a new job. You see, I planned to invite him to work at my garage. But my business is too small to have four employees. That’s when I thought about accepting your offer, with the condition I can bring these four with me] [I might sound selfish here. But honestly, you can see that I’m asking for help. Of course, by offering my help too. I’ll do my best to help Counterbrand grow so big, so big that the adding of these fou
Gambino’s face turns so dark, like he is so objected to what Dennis has done. It’s such a serious matter, something that Dennis shouldn’t just decide one-sidedly without discussing it with everyone. “You should have talked about this with me first!” says Gambino coldly. “He is a clean businessman. What are you afraid of?” Dennis interrupts. “I know he is a clean businessman. But with us meddling into his business, sooner or later, you are going to corrupt him just like what has happened to Albert Wilson,” Gambino argues. Dennis gently shakes his head, looking so persistent with his decision “I’ll make sure the money in Counterbrand is clean from our dirty money. That way, you can support your family without so much thought. Leave the business to me, you only need to play your role as our leader in La Marca, and as my subordinate at that Counterbrand company.” After saying that, Dennis turns away. As he keeps walking away, he tells Gambino that they are going to visit Counterbrand
Bobby is squinting his eyes, looking a bit eerie with the oddity of his partner. He then suddenly knocks Chappy’s head a few times like he is knocking on the door.“Hello! Whoever is down there, get out of my buddy’s head. Please, let him free!”Bobby shakes his head, trying to cast out any devil that takes control over his buddy’s mind. And so, those two stupid thugs start having quarrels like how they used to. That car is swaying again, like they are doing something fun inside it.“Come on, Bro! I’m dead serious!” says Chappy as he takes his head away.“Aren’t you going too far with your suspicions?” asks Gambino.“I’m just a bit worried about Victor. He might have become a target now. It feels like, those Curbelo’s men are scheming something bad to my bro,” r
Before midnight, Victor gets a call from an unknown number. He is a bit reluctant to answer it, but it keeps coming even after he ignores it a few times.In the end, he gives the phone to Judeo and tells him to answer that call. Right after Judeo answers the call, he hears a voice that is so familiar to him.[Bro, it’s me Chappy! There’s something serious that I need to tell you]Immediately, Judeo gives the phone back to Victor without saying anything. Victor receives it with some curiosity.[Bro? Are you there?]“Hey, how did you get my number?”[I asked Gambino before. Anyway, there is something that I want to tell you. This is about the people you had visited before. About one of them named Dominic Benson]Victor’s face immediately turns serious. He pushes his chair closer to the monitor desk, and then turns on the loudspeaker on the phone.“Yeah, what about him?”[You see, my friend said that man runs a business, something like an adult video studio. He also has his own porn site
Victor closes his explanation with a serious face toward Dennis, like he hints for something. Dennis turns his attention to Gambino, like he is trying to understand the real meaning behind Victor’s last words.“La Marca? What is this all about, Victor?” asks Dennis with his clueless face.Victor just smiles at Dennis’s act of ignorance. He even chuckles a bit before he continues with his words, telling them that he has known it all.“I took Chappy to his home, to Pangea Vistas Apartments. And I saw the photo of your group band, La Marca. I’ve long known about the origin of that band from Jimmy,” Victor continues.“What does it have to do with this?” asks Gambino.“Nothing,” replies Victor curtly before he averts his attention again to Dennis Murphy and stares him down with a cold gaze. “I happened to find a boy amongst those pictures, who wore an outfit like a waiter or a bar boy. It's just that his face reminds me of you.”The truth is, after his visit to Mandy’s apartment, from that
