You promised me that you wouldn't leave.
Just make sure you win!
He'll be the lead investigator on this case.
He'll also be the acting chief until I have a replacement.
Jackie…
You don't believe Ms. Ignacio took her own life?
Her phone is missing.
She had a date with someone we don't know.
Shouldn't we be looking for him?
Ms. Ignacio had a tutorial session yesterday.
The student's name is Eli.
We might have to find a new tutor for Eli.
Aren't you going to accept the promotion? What about Eli?
No matter how busy I am, my family is my top priority.
I'm Manu Cortez,
the lead investigator in Ms. Ignacio's case.
When was the last time you saw Ms. Ignacio?
Almost done, son.
Pia?
Are you guys okay, Matteo?
Why is there so much smoke?
Anton!
-What's going on? -Papa's special breakfast!
Oh, my goodness.
What's this?
Dig in, kids. Go ahead.
-Dig in. -Ouch.
-What happened? He kicked? -It's nothing. Just a small kick.
Eli?
I think Eli's just thanking you for the effort.
Don't worry. When you come out, your dad will be a master chef.
I'll prepare breakfast every day.
Jeez, Pa. Eli might never come out now.
Don't say that. He might hear you and get scared.
She also has multiple scratches.
She likely skidded down before falling off.
Looks like she has extensive fractures of the ribs,
pelvis, and lower extremities.
Cortez, who ordered the autopsy?
It was requested by her family, sir.
Is there a problem?
Can I have that?
-Hey, I'm still eating that. -I thought you were done.
Pa, I'll drive.
No, I'll drive. Maybe next time.
-I can do it. -Next time.
I'm just one call away.
Just text a period, and Papa or I will come running.
Pa, maybe Eli should stay home.
-I can watch over him. -You wish.
Eli.
Do you want to stay home?
No, no, no.
We're all leaving together.
And we're all coming home together.
That's right.
Nobody gets left behind.
The mayor's getting impatient.
It won't be long now, Chief.
Cortez.
We've only met with one member of her family, her cousin.
I've tracked down her psychiatrist.
And they both claimed that Sam Ignacio did not exhibit suicidal tendencies.
Is suicide still our angle?
Do you have any other leads in your investigation?
Here's what you need to know, Cortez.
A lot of people are watching this case.
But not all of them are interested in the truth.
I know it's a strong offer, but my family needs me right now.
Especially Eli.
I want to focus on my son.
And as a mother, I can feel that my son needs me right now.
As his mother,
you're the best person he can rely on now.
I've heard what people have been saying about Sam.
Some say she committed suicide.
You're a counselor and her friend.
Was she going through something?
That's why I refuse to believe it.
There was so much that Sam still wanted to do in life.
Speaking of which, ma'am…
I would like to volunteer.
I would love to help out…
at the memorial service for Sam.
It's the least I could do for her.
Can you move these to the side?
-Where are the big flowers? -They're on the way, Anton.
Is it lopsided? Put it there to keep this steady.
We were planning how to arrange the chapel.
When he heard, he volunteered right away.
Your family must have been really close with Sam.
-I brought more pictures of Sam. -Are these from the office?
Why did you come here?
Who are you with?
Jackie.
We know that we are all very eager to be with our dear Teacher Sam.
But her remains won't be here today…
because they're still being prepared
after undergoing an autopsy.
Is that why her body was broken all over?
Maybe there was foul play.
Could it be murder?
-Maybe she was raped… -Possibly.
-And then killed. -Guys, wait a minute.
We shouldn't be like this. Let's give Sam some respect.
If you have questions, I'm sure those can wait, right?
But for now, please…
Let's learn to be respectful.
I'm begging you.
We'll just make an announcement when the viewing is ready.
Thank you very much.
Anton. You can leave now.
Eli, let's go.
Come on.
Eli. Rest?
Mr. Carpio.
What do you need?
I just wanted to check on you.
I heard you're the ones organizing the wake.
She was our friend and co-worker.
Come on. Let's go.
Is there anything else you need?
Actually, yes. You.
I still have some questions for you.
Pia, dear.
You can head home first. Look for your brother.
Okay.
Detective, let's talk over there.
-Matt. -Pia.
Why? Did something happen?
Mama and Papa said we could head home first.
Okay. Come on.
Matt, are you avoiding me?
Follow me, Jem.
Mrs. Carpio, you don't have to stay here.
I only need to talk to your husband.
We were open to each other.
What is this about?
Did you find anything--
I mean, did you discover new information about what really happened to Sam?
You really don't believe she committed suicide, do you?
This is just based on what I know about my friend.
Wait, detective.
I thought I was the only one you wanted to talk to.
Do we really need to do this right now?
I can just drop by the station tomorrow.
No. Let's do it right here, right now.
I really need to know what actually happened to my friend.
I'll just ask a few questions since we're already here.
Have you tried the Mexican restaurant by the highway?
Los Pollos.
I've heard of it, but…
No, I haven't tried it yet.
A week before Ms. Ignacio died,
a guy grabbed her at the back of the Los Pollos Restaurant
and forcibly kissed her.
The witness heard her call the guy's name.
And the name was…
Anton.
Do you know anything about this, Mr. Carpio?
What are you doing?
Can you not do this right now?
There's a lot going on. Can we…
Can we take a breather?
I just don't understand why you're still avoiding me.
Teacher Sam is gone now. No one--
Hey, be careful with what you say.
Don't ever mention that name again, okay?
Besides…
what matters is we don't have a problem anymore, right?
Right, Jem?
Matt…
Please don't leave me.
Matt, I need you.
We need you.
Jem, hold on. We already talked about this, right?
You said you got rid of it, didn't you?
Sorry, Matt, I lied.
I didn't get rid of it.
I couldn't do it.
Matt…
-Seriously, Jem? -Matt…
You're so stubborn, Jem.
Whatever you're thinking, that's not what happened.
Yes, I was there.
I just happened to see Sam.
I approached her and said hello.
Then she told me she was waiting for someone.
Yes, that's it.
But I didn't grab her or force a kiss on her.
I'm very happy with my wife.
Okay. Just relax.
But what were you doing there?
Los Pollos is out of town.
To be honest, yes, I went there.
I was looking for a new restaurant where I could take my wife
because we haven't gone on a date in a long time.
When I checked the reviews, it looked great.
But when I went there myself, it wasn't that good, so…
If I check the CCTV footage, is it going to match your story?
Then why don't you do that instead of wasting your time on us here?
Right?
You're making a serious accusation.
You're implying that I committed sexual assault.
Maybe you should focus your time on the real suspect.
Okay, thank you. That's all I wanted to ask.
I hope this doesn't happen again. Let's not waste each other's time.
Please turn left at that corner.
Alright, sir.
Thanks.
You really won't talk to me?
-You want us to face the kids like this? -Anton, I just don't understand.
How long were you planning to hide that you met with Sam?
I just said hello. I didn't think I had to tell you.
Besides, I came there in secret, remember?
Really? Was that all? You didn't talk about anything else there?
Nothing.
I just said hello, Jackie.
Don't tell me you believe what that detective said.
Come on, Jackie.
He's just looking for someone to pin the crime on
because he's a newbie from the city,
who wants to make a name here.
So, what? The witness just made it all up?
Is that what you're trying to say?
But why? Why would he make up a story?
-I don't know. -Seriously…
Where are Matt and Pia?
I don't know.
We called him in for questioning to find out if he was telling the truth.
Why would he lie?
We asked around, did a background check,
and found out that he had a record.
Talk to him.
Ma'am, I'm telling the truth.
Whatever record I had in the past, it's already been settled.
Wait, what record?
It's not a criminal record.
Well, his memory is just not that sharp.
Ma'am, I may not have a good memory, but…
I'm not a liar.
Here's my question for you.
Are you sure the name Sam Ignacio said was really "Anton"?
Yes, sir.
Are you sure he was the one who followed Ms. Ignacio to the back…
then grabbed her and forced a kiss on her?
But I saw them…
heading out together.
So, in other words…
you didn't see Anton talking to Sam Ignacio
at the back of the restaurant?
-Anton! -Hey, Hans, come on.
No, I didn't.
What happened? Did you help the policeman?
Yes, we did.
Have they found out what happened to Teacher Sam?
Is what they're saying true?
What are they saying?
I don't know, Pia. I don't know.
Okay.
Matteo.
Are you okay? Is there a problem?
No, Ma.
I'm fine.
What about Jem?
She's okay.
Whatever it is, you can tell me, okay?
When you're ready.
Are you sure you're not going to tell me who did that to you?
No need.
I'm not going to stay here long anyway.
You're not leaving.
As I said, we're staying here.
You must've crossed someone powerful to get thrown out here.
Now, I'm stuck here too.
You'll get used to this place, eventually.
I had a life there.
Why do I have to suffer for your stubbornness too?
-I just did what I had to do. -"What you had to do"?
Or you just always want to be the one who's right?
Are you okay?
I know you're sad.
I know you're sad because you miss Teacher Sam.
And that's okay. We miss her too.
Mama will spend more time with you.
Because from now on, I will be your tutor.
Is that okay?
I'm here. Hurry up.
-Kyle. -Where?
Where are you?
Stupid-- No--
Okay. I'm on my way.
You're really screwed, man.
You're such a noob.
What?
Matt, I need you.
We need you.
Sorry, Matt, I lied.
I didn't get rid of it. I couldn't do it.
Sam Ignacio Matteo will pick up Eli later.
I'll just go on a quick run.
Wow, nice and clean.
-So… -We had no classes last weekend, right?
I needed to work. You know that…
I saw the way you were with her, Anton.
Whatever we had, I've ended it, Jackie.
You only ended it because you got caught!
I chose you, Jackie.
I'm here.
I'm staying with you because I love you, Jackie.
You're staying because it's convenient for you.
Jackie…
When I get back, I want you gone.
Jackie…
Jackie, please.
Jackie…
Jackie, please…
Jackie…
Jackie, I'm sorry…
Jackie, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
You're shaking.
Sorry.
Are you okay?
Don't worry.
Jackie.
Sam is here.
Sam…
You can give these out.
Jackie.
Thank you very much.
I heard that you and Sam were very close.
Don't mention it.
Sorry, but a lot of people noticed
that the detective talked to you here yesterday.
I don't know, but they said Anton got angry.
Now, there are these rumors going around.
Some are even saying Anton might be involved.
He's not.
The detective just asked us
if we noticed anything unusual about Sam.
That's all.
People really do love to imagine things.
Are you Jackie?
I'm Shiela, Sam's cousin.
She adored your son.
Eli, right?
She said she'd miss him.
She didn't want to leave him.
Have a seat first, Shiela.
Thank you.
Eli's here.
Anton.
I asked him several times. He said he's fine.
For Teacher Sam.
Can we put it there?
Of course.
Teacher Sam would've been so proud.
Let go!
Anton?
Anton, is that you?
Anton?
Anton, is that you?
What are you doing here?
I was only letting out my frustrations.
Why would people think I had a hand in her death?
What, do they think Sam and I had an affair?
Well, did you?
Did you notice anything strange?
Did she seem tired or stressed? Any sign she was harassed?
Was Ms. Ignacio paid to do something she didn't want to?
Do you really have to tarnish my friend's memory?
How well did you know your friend?
I refuse to believe that Sam gave up on life.
If you're one of the people she once helped,
please don't accept the assumption
that she chose to end her story by giving up. an>
