FPJ's Batang Quiapo | Episode 284 (2/2) | March 18, 2024 (with English Subs)

[RIGOR SIGHS SHARPLY] [STIRRING MUSIC PLAYING] - Sir. - Sir. Dimaguiba. I heard you're busy working on the case involving NCF. Yes, sir. We've just gathered new evidence... against Chief Espinas. It was from a former inmate. [STIRRING MUSIC CONTINUES] Is your source reliable? Yes, we checked it, General. It's legitimate. Good job, Dimaguiba. I'll personally coordinate with the higher-ups so we can wrap this up quickly. We can't let our reputation as law enforcers be tarnished. Thank you, General

. [STIRRING MUSIC CONTINUES] Can Don Facundo really help Tanggol get out of prison? [MOROSE MUSIC PLAYING] Do...Don Facundo. What is it? Uh... About earlier when you were talking on the phone... I knew it. You heard something, didn't you? No, I didn't. But... I guess it seemed like that because I appeared out of nowhere. Sorry, Don Facundo. It's okay. I appreciate that you admitted your mistake. Just make sure it won't happen again. Yes, Don Facundo. [STIRRING MUSIC PLAYING] [EMONG] One order of

crispy pork ears. [OVERLAPPING CHATTER] [BETCHAY] Oh, just a moment. [EMONG] Here. Let me help you. - [EMONG] Here's their payment. - Thank you. - Emong, please clean the table. - Okay, Grandma. Just a moment, miss. Don't go anywhere. [SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING] [BREATH QUIVERS] Grandma. Bubbles, you're here! I missed you so much, dear. - Grandma. - [SOBBING] [BOTH SOBBING] Samantha. I'm glad that you're now free and safe from harm. A life in prison is not for you. You shouldn't be in this place eit

her. I'll introduce myself to you someday... and I'll take you to where you rightfully belong. [MOROSE MUSIC PLAYING] Thank god you're home. [BOTH SOBBING] I'm finally free. I've been granted parole. Thank the Lord! [OVERLAPPING CHATTER] Marcelo. I'm sorry that you got in trouble with Chief Espinas because of us. It's Tanos's fault. He just had to talk. There's no use hiding it. Chief Espinas will find out sooner or later. It's okay. Don't worry about that. I'm not afraid of Chief. What matters

is that you have a court hearing. You're one step closer to your freedom. Mayor, look at them. [MOROSE MUSIC PLAYING] Marcelo kept his promise to Tanggol and his friends. He got them a good lawyer and they have a court hearing today. I'm sure Marcelo has something else aside from a good lawyer. He must've paid a hefty sum to speed up their hearing. Marcelo means business. I'm worried for them. There's something off about Marcelo. I don't trust him. He's planning something for Tanggol's group, an

d I can sense that it's not good. He's right, Tanggol. The outcome of our hearing today will help us know if we'll stay or leave this place. I have a strong feeling that we'll get out of here soon. That's the spirit! Like I've said, Atty. Dela Cruz is a good lawyer. I guarantee you 100 percent that you'll all get out of here. [STIRRING MUSIC PLAYING] I really hope you're telling the truth, Marcelo. [STIRRING MUSIC CONTINUES] [STIRRING MUSIC CONTINUES] Damn that Marcelo. He's such a showoff. He's

ruining our system here in prison. Not only that. He also wants to use Tanggol. He's taking Tanggol away from me! If that happens, our whole operation will go down the drain. We'll also need someone to replace Tanggol, especially now that Bubbles has been released. That's not all. Once they're out of here, Marcelo will take Tanggol with him... the next time he commits a crime. [STIRRING MUSIC CONTINUES] How about me, Bubbles? Don't you remember me? [SOFT MUSIC PLAYING] I remember you, Emong! Wh

at are you doing here? He helps me out at the eatery. I am now Grandma Betchay's new favorite grandchild. Hey! That's impossible. I am Grandma's only grandchild. Right, Grandma? - Of course. [CHUCKLES] - How are you? Are you really free? Is it final? You didn't escape? I'm free now. Then that means you'll treat me. You know what? You're still crazy and stingy. - Jeez. - See? Wait, sit down. - Eat first. - Sure. - Give her a seat. - Here. - I'll just fix it. - [BETCHAY] Okay. What do you want to

eat? Anything, Grandma. - Hm. I know your favorite. - [CHUCKLES] [EMONG] Bubbles. Bubbles. How was prison? Is it true that when you're handsome... You're really crazy. I'm scared of going to prison. - Why? You're not handsome. - [SCOFFS] And they say you should never drop the soap. Why? What will happen if you do? - [BUBBLES] What? - [MURMURS] You know what! Is that true? Yes, it's true, so don't ever go to prison. Get me some water. I got nervous. - Sir. - Sir. Hey. Dimaguiba. You have an invit

ation for a hearing later today. Whose case is this, sir? Tanggol's. Your son. [MOROSE MUSIC PLAYING] [SUAREZ] I heard they hired a skilled lawyer. The judge was also changed. Thank you, sir. Bro. Tanggol must have a really good lawyer. They reopened the case and had the judge changed. That demon is not content in prison. He wants to be free. But I'll make sure he doesn't get out. [MOROSE MUSIC CONTINUES] [MACASANTOS] Move! Macaraig! You must have a really powerful backer. You managed to get a h

earing for Tanggol's group while others here have grown old waiting for a hearing. [CHUCKLES] I told you I had a good lawyer. And besides, you don't know... [SMACKS LIPS] who my backer is. It seems like you're testing Chief Espinas. You might regret it. No, sir. Sir... [CHUCKLES] I don't want to go against you, especially Chief Espinas. That's not what I'm doing. I actually want to be friends with you. Honestly, we should work together. You never know, someday... I might be able to help you. [PE

NSIVE MUSIC PLAYING] [MARCELO CHUCKLES] Tanggol! You and your group have a hearing. Let's go! Come with us. Okay, sir. It's delicious, Grandma. [CHUCKLES] Slow down. The food isn't going anywhere. [CHUCKLES] No one can beat your cooking, Grandma! Nonsense. You're just hungry. - Have some vegetables. - Thanks. By the way, how's your Grandpa? I'm the only one who was granted parole, Grandma. I don't know who settled my case. But... Grandpa Celso is fine. He's safe there. I'm sorry, dear. I didn't

get to visit you much. That's why I'm always worried. It's okay, Grandma. Grandpa and I were worried about you too. But now that I'm free, I can focus on taking care of you. I'll also help pay the bills. Don't think about those things yet. What's important is that you're here with us now. Hm? - [JOLINA] There they are! - Tanggol! Hey! Tanggol! Tanggol, we heard about your hearing today. Good luck. Tanggol, we believe that you're good people. We're sure you'll bring home good news later, right? -

That's right. - Thank you. I hope we'll be released. That's for sure. We're actually sad. No one might defend us once you're released. - [GHELAY] That's true. - Don't worry. Bong's group is gone. For sure, the prison is peaceful now. That's true. We'll get going. - Let's go. - [ELSA] Bye! Good luck! Do well! [GHELAY] Thank you. - Take care. - Thank you. [GATE CLANKS, CREAKS] Put them in handcuffs. [HANDCUFFS RATTLING, CLICKING] Watch them closely, they might escape. Oh, sir... Why would we esca

pe when we're about to be released? - [MOROSE MUSIC PLAYING] - [HANDCUFFS CLICKING] Chief. We're sorry. We didn't mention that we hired a lawyer. I can't do anything. It's your right. Chief, soon enough, we'll be out of here. My lawyer is good. Alright, escort them out now! We'll get going, Chief Espinas. Alright. [GRIM MUSIC PLAYING] Looks like Marcelo got the better of us. If this continues, we'll lose our asset. I won't allow it. We'll lose our source of income. I need to know the identity of

Macaraig's backer so we can trap them here and stop their release. [GRIM MUSIC CONTINUES] - Bubbles! - Hey. Where are you going? You're all dressed up. I'm a waitress at a sports bar. Do you think you can get me a job there? Don Ismael, just because I was gone doesn't mean you can steal my territory. Do you think I'm afraid of you?! Quiapo is mine now! Quiapo has always been mine! A new judge will be handling your case. They will try your case fairly. Thank you very much, Attorney. We hope we g

et released. I'll make sure he doesn't get out. He will rot in prison. Are you aware of the rules of engagement in apprehending a fleeing criminal? Answer my question, Dimaguiba. Did you shoot Tanggol in the back? - I won't fight you. - [GUNSHOT] Yes.
