Stop moving!
Is that fart-flavored toothpaste?
- My Joy is calling! - [phone ringing]
Your Joy?
Joy! Are you there yet?
[Joy] Yes, Ethan!
I'm already here. Look.
It's already 10 p.m., but the sun is still up.
[Ethan] Wow!
You're really on the other side of the world.
Yes!
Joy is here, in Canada!
[chuckles] Wow! Congratulations!
You're really there.
You're there.
[Ethan] I miss my Joy here in Hong Kong.
- [Jhim] We miss you too, Joy! - [Carlo] We miss you!
- Hey. - We miss you.
Do you miss us?
Super!
[chuckles] Miss you!
What about me?
Do you miss me too?
No.
[chuckles]
I super duper duper miss you.
[Jhim and Carlo laughing]
- You're like teenagers in love. - Yes, it is.
[employer] Joy!
- Yes, ma'am! Yes! - [employer] Let's go.
My employer is here. I have to go.
Already?
- Bye, Joy! - Bye, Joy!
- Bye! - Hey, say goodbye!
Let's go!
- Let's give them their moment. - [Carlo] Okay.
I have to go.
Bye!
How many more times will we say goodbye?
Until our futures meet again.
Right?
[Ethan] Here.
They said time stops when we don't use it.
Let's start using it to speed up the time.
I can't wait for a future with you.
And we're now making that future happen.
[Joy] Time starts now!
- [phone alarm ringing] - [Joy gasps]
- [alarm stops] - [man] Bella's bag?
- Yes, sir! Coming! - Thank you!
- [man 1] Careful. Careful. - [Joy] Your bag, Bella.
- [kid] Bye! - Bye. Bye, sir!
- [employer] I'll get this for the tax. - [girl crying]
It's okay. Bye, sweetie.
Mommy!
[crying] Mommy!
- Mommy! [crying] - [car door closes]
- Ethan, look! - [phone ringing]
Let's call that number now.
There's another one here.
- [Jhim] Where? - [Ethan] Here.
- [phone chimes] - [phone camera clicks]
[automated voice] Sorry…
- She might be working overtime. - Already?
- [busy tone] - Possible. So, stop overreacting!
[Ethan] I'm worried she's not resting enough.
You know what a workaholic she is.
- Wait! - [bus engine revving]
Wait!
- [Joy] Wait! - [Jhim] Maybe she's just hard at work.
[Carlo] Well, she went abroad.
[guy friend] Ethan, congratulations on your new bar!
Thank you.
- I told you! - [laughter]
Hey, wait for me!
- [girl] Hey! - Why did you leave me?
- You're weighing us down. - I'm not!
Let's go!
[screaming] Whoo!
[Joy's younger sister] When will you become a nurse there?
Once my contract ends, I'll apply for a student visa, remember?
That's too long. Hassle.
- Cheers! - Cheers!
[girls] To Boss Ethan!
[food sizzling]
The bar is open. Ethan's Joy is finally open.
- Yeah! - [cheering]
- [overlapping chatter] - [object clatter]
Come on!
- We're in a hurry. - Good morning!
- [employer] You're not done cooking? - So slow!
[Joy] Sorry, ma'am.
Almost ready.
- [whirring] - [phone chimes]
Joy, the stupid tattoo is gone.
[Joy chuckles]
Really?
Where's Ethan anyway? I want to see him.
[tattoo machine whirring]
- She can't see me all this time? - Oh.
- [Jhim] Wait. - [Carlo] Ethan's here.
Hi!
- [Jhim] Carlo is the only stupid one. - [chuckles]

Blow the candle.
Okay! Happy birthday!
Look.
I have noodles here for long life!
You got it on time!
- I don't love you too. - Yes!
Yes!
[Ethan] I don't miss you.
I don't miss you too.
- Twenty-five percent! - Our sales?
[Jhim] It increased?
- [clinking] - [cheering]
[shushes]
She's sleeping.
[soft music playing]
- [phone ringing] - Hey.
- She's early today. - [clattering]
Wait. We need to double time.
- Here, here! - [phone continues ringing]
- That'll do! - It's not done yet!
- Joy, happy… - It's not glued yet!
[clattering]
Ethan!
[Joy sobbing]
Joy?
[sobbing continues]
Joy, what's wrong?
[sobbing continues]
Why are you crying?
What happened?
[Joy] My boss scammed me, Ethan.
- [morose music playing] - [sniffles]
She's been deducting my salary, but she's not paying my taxes.
Isn't her employer Filipino too?
Report her.
She said she'll have me deported.
[sniffles] I'm so scared.
- What should I do? - [Jhim] Joy.
She's just scaring you.
My uncle said as long as you have a work permit, you can file a report.
[Joy] Hello, Ethan?
I ran away from my employer.
Where are you now?
[thuds]
- [Ethan] Hello, Joy? - [luggage thuds]
- [Joy groans] - Hello? Joy, what's happening?
Hello?
I found someone who can help me.
[clicks tongue] Oh, Joy…
Don't worry about me.
I can handle this.
- [morose music playing] - [sniffles]
I can do this. I promise.
I will just call you once I've settled.
[call ends]
[breathes deeply]
Juliet, I'll pay next week. Promise!
- I've heard that before. - [door shuts close]
- Bye, Joy. - Bye.
What did the accountant say?
- I got rescheduled again. - [phone ringing]
Again?
[phone continues ringing]
[Juliet] Follow up on your work permit.
Yes, ma'am.
- [Ethan] Hello, Joy? - Ethan.
Joy, I can't do this anymore.
I'm tired of us living in two different time zones,
of waiting, of staying up late.
I'm tired of waiting to talk to you.
I can't even hold you. I can't do this anymore.
Ethan…
I can't do this.
I know it's hard, but…
I've had enough.
I can't take it anymore.
Don't be like that.
Hello? Ethan?
Ethan, I want to see you.
Hello?
Because Joy…
I'll see you soon! Joy, finally!
I already booked a ticket! We'll finally see each other!
I can finally hug you!
I can finally kiss you!
Canada, here I come!
[pleasant music playing]
I'll see you soon!
[Ethan] I'm so excited, Joy!
[pleasant music continues]
[Ainsley] Hello, Marie.
Hello, Ainsley?
How's work?
All done!
[Ainsley] Already? You're the best!
Efficient as ever.
Of course!
[Ainsley] Do you want more?
Definitely!
Okay. I have two office buildings and a bank.
Which one do you want?
Just one? No. Give them all to me.
What?! Do you ever rest?
Already a caregiver yet still wants to be a nurse.
A cleaner who wants to make it her business
and compete with me?
How much more do you want?
Just get married and settle down.
[Joy laughs mockingly]
[Joy] I have to go.
I'm almost at the airport to pick up someone.
Let's keep in touch.
[pleasant music playing]
[Jhim] After a very long flight,
we're finally here!
Wait a sec!
[pleasant music continues]
Shout-out to all Jhim Buddies!
We are now here, in Canada!
[pleasant music continues]
[pleasant music swells, then turns gentle]
Marie!
- Hey! - Hi!
- [Uno] I missed you! - [Jhim] Ethan!
Why did you leave me there?
Joy is here! Joy!
[chuckling, then stops]
Hey.
You only broke up with Ethan, not with me.
Come here! [chuckles]
How have you been?
You've gotten taller.
Uno, this is Jhim.
I'm her friend, and…
he is her ex…
Excuse me. Come.
Come.
- [Jhim] He's her… - Friend.
- Nice to meet you. - Pleasure to meet you too.
- I'm Ethan. - Uno.
Hello.
- Let's go? - Yeah.
We'll go ahead. Bye.
Goodbye.
"Uno"? (number one)
Don't worry, you were "first".
[chuckles softly]
Come on. Don't mind them.
[Jhim] Hello, Jhim Buddies! This is it!
As you can see, I'm already here in Canada!
[Ethan] Joy! Joy!
Joy!
["Kung 'Di Rin Lang Ikaw" instrumental playing]
I don't love you.
I don't love you too.
[both moan softly]
Five minutes.
Five more minutes, please.
Careful.
I might get used to this.
I might not let you go back to Hong Kong.
That's my plan.
To not go back to Hong Kong…
without you.
- [smooches] - [chuckles softly]
So, you can rest and be with me.
Ethan…
- This is too much - I love you too much.
I love you very much, Joy.
[Ethan] There's not a day that I did not wish
for us to get to our future sooner.
A future with no goodbyes.
And in that future,
I will always be there
to hold your hand as we see the world together.
- Cheers! - Cheers!
[Ethan] We don't have to worry about time
because we will spend it together.
You won't have to do things alone…
Faster.
…because I will be there to help you.
["Kung 'Di Rin Lang Ikaw" instrumental playing]
[Ethan] We will build our own home.
And we will fill that home with joy and laughter.
["Kung 'Di Rin Lang Ikaw" instrumental continues]
[Ethan] On days when you're too tired to fight for your dreams,
I will be there to listen even to your silence.
["Kung 'Di Rin Lang Ikaw", by December Avenue feat. Moira Dela Torre playing]
Ready, set, go!
[water splashes]
["Kung 'Di Rin Lang Ikaw" continues]
Not fair! Join in!
[screams]
- [both scream] - [water splashes]
["Kung 'Di Rin Lang Ikaw" continues]
[Ethan] In that future, we won't have to sleep alone.
[muffled shrieking]
[Joy squeals] Ethan!
[Joy giggling]
[Ethan] Because we will always wake up together.
["Kung 'Di Rin Lang Ikaw" continues]
Five minutes.
Okay.
[Ethan] And in that future, Joy,
you have a home in me.
And I promise to make that home warm…
and full of love.
We both promised to make that future happen.
Joy Marie Fabregas…
I don't love you.
Will you marry me?
["Kung 'Di Rin Lang Ikaw" continues]
[Joy] Yes.
Yes, Ethan.
- Let's go! - [chuckles]
- [Joy] Ethan! - [Ethan chuckles]
- Here? - No, no. Turn left.
- Turn left. - Turn left.
- Here. Put me down. - [on TV] Alberta News Channel.
- Put me down. - [TV report] Canada now has 433
- Get me those. My favorite. - confirmed cases of COVID-19
- Okay, I will. - and a death toll of eight.
Alberta is declaring state of public emergency
as premier Jason Kenney announced.
Yesterday, March 16, 2020,
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau addressed the nation,
- Ethan? - declaring total lockdown
and closure of all borders in response to rising COVID-19 cases.
This new COVID-19 protocol restricts entry of foreign nationals.
All non-essential travels outside the country will also be restricted
until the prime minister lifts the border restriction.
As the prime minister says, we're all in this together.
James Winston. Stay safe, Canada!
So, Ethan's your ex?
- Marie? - Hmm?
Ethan's your ex?
Yes.
What a coincidence.
Yeah.
- So, how was New York? - Still waiting for you.
The New York offer is still on the table.
It's a smarter move.
Here, you have to study and…
But I'm already on my second term.
Plus two more after that.
In New York, you can pass the NCLEX and become a nurse.
The pay is better there.
And my mom's the head nurse there.
She will surely help you out.
And you'll go back there next year.
- And that's the cherry on top. - [chuckles]
Plus…
no Ethan.
[chuckles softly]
Thanks for giving me a ride from the airport.
Only because you did me a favor.
Ha!
So mean.
Thank you for bringing the goods. I'll e-transfer the payment, okay?
- Okay. - Bye!
The US offer, okay?
So persistent.
Don't be long.
[Marvin] They're here.
They're here. They're here. Hello!
- Welcome to Canada! - [chuckles]
[Amy laughs]
Mark, you didn't tell me your hubby looks chubbier in person.
I think it's a tie, Auntie.
Tonton!
Help us with the luggage!
Hi, Tonton.
This is my son Tonton!
Smile!
Marie, come here! Meet Aunt Amy.
Oh! Hello.
Welcome.
- Thank you. - Hey!
The housemates are complete!
Well, well, welcome to Big Brother Marvin's house!
That's Jambi, our housemate.
She's really loud.
- Is this how she really is? - Yes.
- Come on in. - She's perky.
[Jambi chuckles] Have some coffee.
I'm sure you're tired.
Shoes off, eh? I don't have a cleaner.
Uncle, we can clean for a very low price.
Twenty-five dollars per hour.
I'm only asking 500 dollars for rent, you still want me to pay you?
What if I cancel your sponsorship?
I paid a lot for your visa and LMIA.
So, how will my son and I get a LMIA?
We're still finding an employer for you.
We should find you one in six months.
Or else, you'll be in trouble.
You'll be undocumented.
And we don't want that.
You won't have insurance.
You can't get sick.
And no work permit.
Which means you can't work.
In otherwise, nada.
Huh?
How will my son and I survive?
- Cash jobs. - Under the table.
No tax.
You can start selling, like what Uncle is doing.
Correct. I buy this for only half the price.
Once I sell it for the full price,
the 50% sale is mine.
And it's healthy too.
- [Jhim and Lino] Eh! [chuckles] - [glasses clink]
You can afford to bring your siblings here faster.
It's faster if you become a PR.
[Jhim and Lino] Beh! [chuckles]
See?
Marie and I, TR to PR after the pandemic.
- What's that? - Mmm.
From temforary to fer…
- Permanent! - That one!
- Ah! [chuckles] - [Jambi] That one.
For us, spousal pathway.
When I first met Marvin, fee… R!
- Ha! - [laughter]
Hard, right?
After one year,
that's it.
He's a PR now too.
- Ah… - [smooches]
So, what do I do now?
I am not annulled in the Philippines.
Yikes!
You have to be legally single to get that.
But there are other ways.
[Jhim] My plan is to find a Canadian spouse.
You don't need to. I already sponsored you, remember?
Lonely Canadian Program.
I don't have a family here, so I can bring relatives here.
It's a good thing you're Canadian now.
- This one is just lonely. - [chuckles]
Chill.
I'll get my PR status soon.
Eh! Don't forget to pay me!
Did you charge extra, like Marie?
Right!
That's just fair.
Right, Amy?
She got tired of carrying those all the way from the Philippines.
What about you?
Sir Uno bought the products and carried them.
What did you do?
Face card.
Sir Uno is the boyfriend?
Nope!
[Mark] I don't know what's going on with her.
Uno's a good catch.
What to do?
Her heart is not beating for him.
Maybe she's into girls?
[chuckling]
Guys,
I'm here.
[soft music playing]
[door clacks close]
Okay, she's gone now. What's the tea?
- We don't know. - We don't know.
She doesn't share much.
Why?
Why are you here, in Calgary?
[line ringing]
[busy tone]
[line ringing]
[busy tone]
[line ringing]
- [automated voice] Your call… - [call ends]
- [phone thumps] - [clicks tongue]
[phone chimes]
MAMA: HOW ARE YOU, MY DAUGHTER?
[phone thumps]
- [soft music playing] - [breathes deeply]
[Carlo] What? Joy is there?
In Calgary?
- OMG! - OMG!
- [Gina giggling] - [Carlo] Yes!
- Maybe it's time for part two! - Part two.
There can't be a part two because there's already an Uno.
Aw.
- Is Uno the new guy? - What?
[Sally groans]
She has a new life now.
I do too.
And I'm here to fix mine.
Don't… Didn't you say…
[car beeps]
[Jhim] Shout-out to all Jhim Buddies!
- We'll go ahead, Uncle. - It's our first day at work
here in Calgary!
Hey, promote my products!
Sure! And, of course,
as always, I am here with my BFF.
Here he is.
If you want to know his name,
send me gifts and buy this.
There!
Oh, right? Hey!
Thank you for the gifts!
Jambibiko, thank you. Thank you. [smooches]
- [smooches, giggles] - [Jhim chuckles]
Marie!
I think I'll have a love life soon!
- He looks so good! - [teasing]
Thank you, thank you!
He's also here, in Calgary. We're meant to be!
That's enough. Time to go home.
He has a cute friend.
I'll hook you up, so your sad life can be a little happier.
[man 2] Hey, I say take it!
I'm happy with my life.
Aww. I'm so jealous!
- But what about Uno? - Move.
Filipinos are still the best! [giggles]
[Baby] As long as he loves me, I don't care.
[Valerie scoffs]
Speaking of the devil.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
- I'll go ahead. - Take care, Jambi.
Good morning!
Hi, Martha!
Good morning, handsome!
See you, beautiful!
- [Martha] Bye. - [Joy chuckles]
You might need the energy.
Right.
Thank you.
Hmm.
You tricked nurse Agatha again.
Well, medicine disrupts the energy flow.
Okay.
[Martha] Oh!
That jade bracelet I gave you looks beautiful.
Is it working?
Uh.
No success yet.
Well, that depends on what success means to you.
No, no! Here! Here!
Martha, let me do my job, please?
You let me do my job!
As the CEO of this place, I'm in charge!
Okay.
John didn't understand it either.
He never liked it when I put my work and career first.
He didn't understand that I needed something for myself to be…
to be more than just his lover.
- Marie? - Hmm?
Did I ever marry?
The truth?
Well, of course, the truth.
No.
Are we going to his funeral now?
Do you want to?
No, no. He has his own family now.
Oh! I have a meeting with Finance. What time is it?
Oh, no! Okay, let's go! Faster!
[pleasant music playing]
- [door clacks close] - Hello!
[music fades]
One hot Americano, tall.
For here.
[soft music playing]
How are you?
How's work? Do you work nearby?
You're on duty.
- Okay. - [soft music continues]
One hot Americano for Joy.
For Marie.
Joy!
Marie.
Yup! Joy is gone.
I can see that.
No, you don't.
You don't know me. I don't know you.
We're strangers now.
[music turns somber]
[cash register beeps, receipt screeches]
[music fades]
[gasps, chuckles]
Are you studying? Nursing?
I was hoping to.
Oh, no. Sorry.
Stay. I'll just work here.
Just continue with what you're doing.
[Jhim clears throat]
So, you're a nurse now?
You're also a PR now, right?
HCA. Studying to be RN.
You're an HC…
A former DH now an HC…
Then you'll be an RN? Do you want to complete the alphabet?
- Health Care Assistant. - Right.
[Jhim clears throat]
[playful music playing]
Is that Uno? Your boyfriend?
I'm talking to Filipinos who need cash jobs.
Cleaners and other side hustles.
Oh! Count me in!
I could use an additional income.
Remember, I bought your power banks in Hong Kong?
Okay. I'll let you know if something comes up.
How? You don't have my number.
Messenger.
But you blocked me.
- Here. Save your number. - [Jhim chuckles]
[playful music continues]
[clears throat] Thank you.
You brought back Joy to life.
What?
You're no longer a KJ.
Kill-Joy. [chuckles]
Just kidding. Don't mind me.
[music fades]
[overlapping chatter]
[phone alarm ringing]
[phone ringing]
Hello?
- Hi, Ainsley! - Hi, Marie!
We got the cleaning job.
Yes!
That's great! That's good news! Thank you so much, Ainsley!
Let me gather my team, okay? Bye!
- Okay, bye. - [call ends]
[bright music playing]
[line ringing]
- [Jambi] Hello. - Hello.
- Jambi? - Yes?
We got the cleaning job.
Oh, wow! Furpect!
Oh, but Marielle and Ryan moved to Toronto already.
I'll take care of it. Okay?
Okay.
I have to go. Bye.
- Okay, bye. - [call ends]
[bright music continues]
IS THIS A SCAM?
YOU ASKED FOR THIS, REMEMBER?
What do you mean? I don't even know you.
Who's that?
A scammer offering me a job.
It could be legit. Let me reply.
No, I'll deal with this scammer.
Go easy on them, okay? They're human too.
All right!
Who's gonna volunteer first?
Perfect! Why don't you get started?
- [mouthing] Sorry. - Marie, you only have two terms left.
Hang in there.
[bright music continues]
HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO YOUR FELLOW FILIPINOS?!
TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THOSE IN NEED!
MAY GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL
[gasps]
Is this a joke?
[line ringing]
[busy tone]
[scoffs] Your loss!
Is it still the scammer?
Yes.
Why don't you answer it?
No, it might be phishing.
Well then,
just come with me to this party?
Karaoke!
That's a waste of time, Jhim.
What if we meet Filipinos who will give us jobs?
Then, I'm down! Let's go!
Eyy!
- [Jhim] This must be it. - ["Dahil Sa 'yo" playing]
[Jhim] We have the right house number.
Wait, let's check.
The party has started.
- This is it. - ["Dahil Sa 'yo" continues]
[squeals] Everybody, they're here!
- [Jambi giggling] Jhim Buddy! - [music stops]
Jhim Buddy!
- I'm your biggest fan! - My Jambibi?
All yours! [giggling]
Housemates! Come closer!
That's Daisy.
Mark and his husband Marvin.
- And this is… - No!
No!
[whimpering]
Move! [whimpering continues]
Is she okay?
- This is Ethan, my best friend. - Hello, good afternoon.
[Jhim] His dimple is as deep as a well. Many have fallen.
But, of course, you're cuter!
Everybody, please follow Jhim Buddies
- and watch his live stream. - [Jhim] Yes, yes.
Everyone, please follow my page Jhim Buddies.
To all my Canadian friends,
bring out your phones
and subscribe and donate to Jhim Buddies!
[Jambi] Like me! Like me!
Be a part of my buddies!
- Hey! You made it! - Yeah, follow.
- Come here! - [Jhim] Right.
[Baby] Excuse me.
- [Jhim] Follow now. - [Baby] Excuse me.
- Hi! - [Amy sneezes]
- I'm single! - [murmuring]
I mean, I'm Baby. PR.
- [Marvin] What a move! - Baby. I'm a PR.
- Do I smell good? - Yes.
- [Baby giggling] - [Jambi chuckles]
Marie! He's the one I was telling you about.
This is Jhim, and this is Ethan.
The one I'll hook you up with…
[Baby stammering] Wai…
They know each other?
- They're exes. - [all gasp]
What?
[Mark] Guys, let's go in for a second.
Come on.
Are you following me?
Huh?
How did you know I live here?
I didn't. Jhim just invited me…
Why are you here, in Calgary?
- For work. - Again?
[exhales deeply]
Again.
I'm here to try again.
You didn't survive the first time.
Maybe because I had money then.
I have nothing now.
And just like the others, Canada is my only hope.
So, this time, I'll do anything to survive.
I don't believe you.
I don't expect you to.
But I have no choice.
Like you always say,
"Choice is only for those with money."
Now that I have nothing,
I have no choice.
But I have a chance.
- A chance to make things right again. - [scoffs]
Of all places, why Canada?
It's a big world. You could've gone anywhere.
You could've stayed in Hong Kong.
So, why here?
I found an opportunity here.
And maybe the universe brought me here because you're here.
[frustrated grunt]
You're so predictable.
Is it wrong to ask for another chance?
I'm sorry, but I don't give second chances.
Joy, I don't want you back.
[somber music playing]
The chance that I came here for…
is the chance to fix my life.
If there's anything I'll ask from you,
it's the chance to apologize in person.
That's it.
Joy, I was a complete jerk.
I hurt you so bad…
It was the darkest time of my life.
But that's not an excuse.
There's no excuse for what I did to you.
[somber music continues]
I'm three years too late.
But if Joy can still hear this,
if there's still a bit of Joy left in there,
I just want her to know that I'm really, really sorry.
[somber music continues]
I have no intention of bothering you.
This is just where I found an opportunity again.
But don't worry.
I know my place.
I'll be a stranger.
And from now on, I promise
I'll stay far away from you.
- [somber music continues] - [footsteps receding]
- [Juliet] Joy… - [luggage thuds]
I'm sorry, I can't lower the rent.
I'm also in need right now.
[Joy] You've already helped us a lot.
Thank you.
Take care. I'll miss you.
- Call me anytime, okay? - Okay.
[Ethan] Are you okay?
- [Joy] Yes. - [luggage thuds]
[reporter 1] Alberta, we are facing a record surge in COVID-19 cases,
with 4,213 new infections and 29 deaths so far.
[reporter 2] Seventy-six percent amid preparations
for December launch, government secures agreements
- with multiple manufacturers - We're here!
focusing on high-risk populations
- Are you sure? - and supply chain readiness.
- [landlady] Come in. Welcome. - [luggage thuds]
Let me show you the basement.
- [Ethan] Are you okay, Joy? - [Joy] Yes.
[landlady] Please don't touch the stuff in the room.
Sorry, I don't have storage yet.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
[Joy exhales deeply]
[soft music playing]
This is only temporary.
What's important is we're together.
For our families.
[Edward] Bro, the loan shark is asking for your payment.
[Ethan's father coughing]
I'll take care of it. Just take care of Papa.
Son, you take care of yourself there.
[coughs] We'll be fine here.
[coughing continues]
Okay, bro. We'll just call you again.
[Mrs. Campbell] You're gonna kill me!
- Get out of here! - Nana! Stop, please!
- Stop! Mom! - Get out of here!
I can't handle her anymore.
If we can't find a new nurse for her,
we're just gonna have to send her to a nursing home, okay?
All the nurses chose to serve at the hospital.
I don't…
[sighs deeply]
Ma'am, I'm a nurse in the Philippines.
Really? Are you registered here?
No, ma'am. But I have experience.
I took care of an elderly
and a child with special needs in Hong Kong.
I can do the job, ma'am.
Okay.
If I say yes, who's gonna clean the house?
I know someone.
- Ethan? - Yes?
After that, please clean the bathroom.
- [Ethan] Okay. - [Joy] Thank you.
[Joy] Let's go.
[soft music playing]
[utensils clink]
Very good, Nana. Hold on.
One, two, three!
[Ethan] Joy?
[Joy] Let me see you.
All right, let's just wipe this.
Very good.
Ethan.
I'll do that. Just take Nana out for a walk.
Go on.
[Mrs. Campbell screams] Go away!
- Go away! - It's Ethan! It's okay.
- Go away! - Joy!
- Go away! - What did you do?
- Go away! - Nothing!
Nana, Joy is here.
You're okay. Let's go?
Ready? Very good.
See, just an hour of cleaning
buys us one burger each.
[somber music playing]
[Joy] Ethan! Ethan!
- I'm sorry! - You're okay.
Please clean that.
- [Mrs. Campbell] I'm sorry. - [Joy] Be careful.
- [Mrs. Campbell] I'm sorry. - [Joy] You're okay, Nana.
[Joy] You're okay.
Okay? Face me, face me.
[retching, coughs]
[Joy] I was the one who referred you.
It's my name on the line.
That was shit, Joy. Real shit.
No wonder no one took that job because…
Because they have a choice! They have money.
We don't, Ethan.
Ethan?
Someone lent me his account.
I can start the delivery job today.
It's getting colder.
Can you handle it?
I have to.
I'll come home late, okay?
I accepted another cleaning job.
Okay.
[smooches]
[door clacks open]
[somber music playing]
You tell your sister that she'll have another person to feed!
Go on!
How far along are you?
I'm three months pregnant.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean for this to happen.
[sobs] Sorry.
All right. I'll send money for the check-ups.
Sorry, Joy. You should be ashamed!
I have to go.
[line ringing]
[phone ringing]
Hello, Ethan?
Hello, Joy?
I'm lost.
My map is acting up. I can't find the address.
My phone's about to die too.
- [Mrs. Campbell] Joy! - Hi, Nana! You're awake.
- Yes? - Joy!
Ethan, take care of it. Nana's here. I have to go.
- Bye. - [call ends]
[breathing heavily]
- [Joy] How much did you have to pay? - [Ethan] Seventy.
- [Joy sighs] - [bag clatters]
Please be careful next time, Ethan.
Instead of earning, we're losing.
[shoes clatter]
[somber music playing]
I heard he's a big shot in Hong Kong!
[in Cantonese] Is that so? Boss Manager, here's more!
[both screams]
You're not a boss here, buddy.
[food sizzling]
[somber music playing]
[plastic bag rustling]
Ouch!
Dammit.
[tense music playing]
Shit.
[Joy] What if that syringe is infected?
Get up! I'm taking you to the hospital.
- Go change! Come on! - I don't have insurance here.
We'll think of something else. Let's go. I'll borrow money.
- And lose more money? - You might get sick…
[shouts] I can't afford to be sick, Joy!
Forget it.
Just forget it.
[reporter 1, in French] Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
has voiced his support for Canadians,
stating that the government will "help Canadians financially"…
[reporter 2, in English] Amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic,
we are slowly getting back on our feet.
Some international flights are now allowed, though with restrictions.
Countries like India, the UAE, Bahrain, and Hong Kong
are now permitting limited international flights…
- You forgot one. - [can clatters]
…but strict entry restrictions requiring a quarantine period upon arrival.
Throw it yourself.
- Damn you! - Bring it on!
Damn you too!
That's enough.
[Ethan] Joy, are you mad at me?
[door shuts close]
Five minutes. Please.
No.
Talk to me, Joy.
Why are you mad at me?
Because you could've just swallowed your pride,
so we could feed ourselves and our families.
Are you taking their side?
I'm not taking anyone's side!
They were wrong, but so were you!
It's wrong to stand up for yourself?
It was wrong to let your emotions take over.
I know it's tough.
It's tough for all of us, but you have to be a little more patient.
- Someday we'll… - What "someday"?!
There is no "someday" here!
We can build a life here in Canada.
What kind of life?
Cleaning other people's toilets? Becoming their servants?
Throwing their trash?
And just wiping butts?
"Just"?
Is that how lowly you think of my job?
It's been my job from the beginning.
Joy, from then until now, is this all you came to Canada for?
No.
But almost everybody who works abroad starts at the bottom.
- I'm doing all of this for… - That's you!
If that's what you want, go ahead!
But you were the one who said that you are more than these jobs.
Joy, I am more than this!
Let's go back home!
I can give you a good life in Hong Kong.
I'm a permanent resident there. I own a bar there…
That's going bankrupt.
Because instead of being there, I am here.
But here, you can have a good life…
I have no plans of living here, in Canada!
And I have no plans of going back to Hong Kong.
You said you'd come back.
You promised, remember?
You accepted the ring. You said yes.
I said yes because I love you.
Because I want to be with you.
If that's true, let's go back to Hong Kong.
[somber music playing]
Did you ask me to marry you, so you could take me back to Hong Kong?
Did you say yes to make me stay here?
[somber music continues]
Canada is not for me.
And I'm not going back to Hong Kong.
[music fades]
- [line ringing] - [phone thuds]
- [Uno] Marie? - Uno!
What's up?
I've finally decided.
I'm taking the US offer.
You should start working on your NCLEX application.
Good morning, Ed!
I know, but I still have to settle some things.
- Good morning, Will! - Good morning.
Hi, Michael!
My jobs, loans, application fees.
I'd offer to help, but I know I'll only get a,
"No, thank you."
Smart!
Nurse Marie, from New York.
Sounds good, eh?
But why such a hurry?
Is he going with you?
Are you two together?
No.
Then why?
Because there's a chance for me there.
To be more!
More happy?
More successful.
More wealthy.
Just like you.
Well, I just hope you get to see John before you leave.
Hey, Martha!
- Hold on. - Marie.
Amy said Tonton changed his mind.
He's backing out of the job again.
[Joy] Don't worry.
I'll take care of it.
I already brought your things.
Take this. For protection.
Hmm? From what?
You'll see.
Okay. Thank you.
I'll go ahead now.
- Bye. - Bye.
- See you tomorrow. - Bye.
- [Jambi] Who will replace Tonton? - [Joy] You'll see!
[Jambi squeals] My gosh, I'm so excited!
Do I look okay?
I didn't even get to doll up for my Jhim Buddy.
You look fine!
[Joy] Stop being overdramatic!
He's not even here yet.
Late on his first day.
My God!
Get it for me, please?
[Amy grunts]
[line ringing]
Hello?
Jhim?
- Hey, Jhim! - [running footsteps approaching]
Present!
[Jhim] Uh…
Uhm…
I may have accidentally given you Ethan's number.
Sorry. It's a misunderstanding.
I'll go now.
Wait! Ethan!
Joy, do you think we can include Ethan in the…
The person I talked to was Jhim.
Jhim agreed to do this, so Jhim will do the job.
[Joy] You don't want it?
Jhim.
It's fine.
- I do. - [squeals] Jhim!
I haven't had my curls done today!
[Jhim] It's okay. You still look pretty, my Jambi!
- [Indistinct chattering] - [soft music playing]
- Poor Ethan! - [vacuum whirring]
You turned him away!
He can't do this job.
I know him.
Didn't you say you're strangers now?
Then you don't know him anymore.
Judger!
- [Jhim clears throat] - [vacuum whirring]
Let's all go to the homecare as companions for the family day!
What will we do there?
There are some residents who have been neglected by their families.
We can be the substitute family.
Tonton and I can do that! He'll come this time. I promise.
Us too?
After what you did? No.
Marie, come on. So we have companions too.
I'm good on my own.
Happy Sunday, Martha!
I'll be your companion with Marie today. Is that okay?
Oh, it's more than okay.
- I love it. - Okay?
Uno, this is Amy.
- And this is Tonton. Say hi. - [Amy giggling]
They're my new housemates.
He's so handsome!
Thank you.
He can understand Filipino?
How embarrassing!
- Hey, you! What are you doing? - [Baby chuckles]
[Jambi chuckles]
It's not me. It's Jambi.
She invited Jhim, so I invited Ethan too.
I felt bad for him. He needs a job.
[Uno] That's right.
Jhim!
- Oh no! - Ethan.
Nice to see you again.
I'm glad you could join us.
Martha, these are Marie's friends.
Hello.
Hello, ma'am.
[Jambi] Good people.
[indistinct chatter]
Martha, are you ready?
I think I'm gonna want to make a lot of bracelets today.
This one is for overcoming obstacles.
- And this one? - Oh, that crystal has chosen you.
This one is for love and healing.
[Uno] I want that one.
- No, you keep it… - [Paula screaming]
- [Tonton] Ma! - Ma, help!
- She peed! - [Paula screaming]
- Calm down, ma'am. Calm down. - [screaming continues]
- [Ethan] Calm down. - [screaming continues]
- [Jhim] Can you move a little here? - [screaming continues]
- [Baby] Paula, wait. - [screaming continues]
[Baby] It's okay, Paula. We'll get you cleaned up.
- [Jhim] It's okay. - [Baby] Paula!
[Jhim] You stay here.
- [Baby] Paula, no! - [Ethan groans]
- [Baby] Paula! - [Jhim] Are you okay, Ethan?
- [Jhim] Did it get hit? - No.
- Are you okay? - [Ethan] I'm okay.
- Did it get hit? - No.
- Are you sure? - Let's just clean this up.
[staff] I hope this fits.
Episodes like these happen here all the time.
- I'm really sorry. - [water running]
- No, it's fine. - Are you sure?
- [Jhim clears throat] - Jhim, let's go.
You can stay.
This is a staff room anyway.
I don't own this.
You heard her. Keep going.
[Jhim] Staff looking.
We're in the staffroom.
[laughing]
[Jhim] Let's go! We have one more staff-over.
[Jhim laughing]
[soft music playing]
[seat belt unbuckling]
- Hello. - Hi there.
- Oh. - What can I get for you?
One iced matcha latte to go, please.
One iced matcha latte. Got it.
[Jhim] He's not here.
He took the morning shift so he could accept a side job.
Because you didn't give him the job.
I'm not asking.
I'm just saying.
And I saw you looking yesterday.
Just sharing…
About the scar. Wanna know how he got it?
I'm not asking.
I'm just saying.
He got stabbed by the triad because he failed to pay them.
He almost died.
And remember their house in Cheung Chau?
It's gone.
They sold it to pay his debt.
That's why the brothers got separated.
Now, Ethan is working hard, so they can be together again.
[barista] Iced matcha latte.
Thank you. I'm not asking.
I'm just saying. Hey!
Joy! Marie! Excuse me. Sorry.
Joy! I mean, Marie!
Do you want to catch up? Need a friend today?
I have a lot of friends.
[line ringing]
- [Jambi] Joy? - [Joy] Hello, Jambi.
Where are you? Let's have coffee?
Oh, sorry. I'm working overtime.
- [door clacks close] - [line ringing]
Sorry, I'm super tired.
[line ringing]
I'm so sorry, Marie. We have an early shift tomorrow.
Oh. Okay. Next time.
[pensive music playing]
[pensive music continues]
[Edward] I'm sorry, bro.
I'm really short right now with Ria pregnant and everything.
I'm sorry too.
Edward, don't worry about it.
It's my problem, I'll take care of it.
I will save up. I'll make it up to you eventually.
Manifesting, bro!
I'm just here, ready to withdraw from your account anytime.
Hey! That's for your tuition fee.
Of course, I'm a good boy.
Received! Thank you.
- Thank you. - Thank you, bro.
- You boys take care. - Take care of yourself too.
[call ends]
[uplifting music playing]
- Game! - [overlapping chatter]
- Let's do it again. - All right.
[Jhim] Show it to them.
- [overlapping chatter] - [Jambi and Baby chuckling]
- [Jhim] Again. - [Marvin] …just kidding.
[laughter]
[Jambi] Do you want some drinks?
I'll get some for us.
Sure.
Chips. More chips.
- [Amy] Make some spread. Put it here. - [Marc] Oh, here.
Uh…
- [grunts] - [Amy] You're taking it.
- Marie? - Yes?
Can I ask permission from you?
You and Ethan have broken up a long time ago, right?
I'm asking because… you know, girl code.
Is it all right if I date him?
Definitely.
[squeals] My gosh! I was so nervous!
I'm so relieved you're chill with it.
Because I'm so excited
to offer him the common-law pathway.
We'll live together so he can be a PR.
[giggles] I'm so excited! Thank you!
Thank you!
- [Jambi] She's different. - She's so bold!
- Straight to the point! - Amazing!
- Straight to a pathway! - [Baby] Ethan.
Ethan, come here! I'll introduce you to my mom.
Ma! Pa! This is my Ethan.
Wow! Meet the parents straight away?
[Jambi] Come on!
- [all] Let's eat! - [indistinct chatter]
Do you want some chips, Ethan?
[Ethan] I don't eat chips.
Really?
[Baby] What about this one?
Cookies.
Do you want oatmeal or chocolate chip?
- And do you like this drink? - No.
Here.
Drink it. [giggles]
[sweet sound] I don't think I can hold it in, Ethan.
Guys! I'm going to propose right now!
- What? - What?
Ethan, will you be my common-law husband?
- [all gasp] - You'll be a PR.
I won't charge you.
It's for free!
[Baby] Just be my husband for a year.
[Baby's mom] Baby? Baby!
- Ma? - Come here!
Ma…
I'm serious.
Give me an answer when I come back.
Wow! Aggressive.
Desperate.
But that's actually a good offer.
If he says yes to Baby, he'll be trapped forever!
Trapped, but a PR.
This is what you've been praying for.
You'll get your brothers faster.
[Jhim chuckles] Right?
[Mark] Dude, no. You have to live together for a year.
You have to be in an actual relationship with proof.
You have to submit pictures.
Sweet-looking ones, so it's believable.
And videos too.
You have to send each other emails and sweet messages.
Lots of "I love yous".
- [Mark] Even sexy texts. - [Jambi] Correct.
- [Daisy] You have to live under one roof. - [Amy] One…
One room?
One bed!
[gasps] They will sleep together?
[gasping]
[Amy] Does that mean she can hug him?
[Jambi giggles] And… kiss him!
[Marvin] She can do all sorts of things to him!
[all squeal]
- [Jhim] And because we're men… - I'll do it!
What?
I'll be your common-law wife.
You're safer with me. We have history.
Guaranteed that there are no feelings involved.
Once you're officially a permanent resident, we can separate.
And you'll be able to help me. I need money.
A fair exchange.
But Baby offered it for free.
There's a catch though. There's drama.
Obviously, she has feelings for him.
Unless…
you like Baby too?
[exhales deeply]
I don't want drama and complications.
[cheering]
[all squealing]
What's going on, guys? What did I miss?
- You missed your chance! - What?
Ethan said yes to be a common-law husband…
- Aww! - of Marie!
[cheering]
Don't be too loud.
- [indistinct chatter] - [muffled laughter]
What about Uno?
They're not dating.
So… are we back together now?
For a year.
Copy.
[screaming]
- Stupid! [screaming] - [thudding]
Why?!
[grunting] Stupid!
So weak! Damn! Shit!
[screaming]
[gasps]
- Shout-out to my Jhim Buddies! - [bright music playing]
Leaving now, live in later. [chuckles]
Ethan, pay your debt with interest.
- Yes, Uncle. I'll wire the payment. - [Jhim] Hey.
To those who want to claim my handsome BFF,
I'm sorry, guys. He's already taken. Aww.
Ehh, Jhim Buddies!
Eyy!
They're on their way!
[bright music continues]
[Mark] Wow! Upgrade!
- [all] Marie! - Showering now?
[ding sound]
[quirky sting]
[bright music continues]
[music stops]
You can do this.
Marie!
She's coming!
[Jambi] Hmm, smells good!
- [Mark] Wow! - [Marvin] Pretty!
So fresh!
Frefared!
[Jhim chuckles]
Hello.
It doesn't look convincing.
He's right. Do it again!
Hello.
- [giggling] - [Marvin] Now that's more like it!
- I'm so giddy. - [all laughing]
[soft music playing]
We need a game plan for your visa.
We have to impress the IRCC
because they're the ones approving your visa.
That we're a real couple and that we love each other.
But that's difficult for me.
But I'll do it for the money.
Copy. For my PR.
Good.
[Joy] We need to gather proof of relationship.
Like old mementos.
Time stopped, but a lot has happened.
[Joy] Life must go on. We can't stop.
Yes, but some things remained.
["Palagi" instrumental playing]
Only because they can be pawned.
[Joy] We need our old photos.
There's just one problem.
Not even a single photo?
- Lame. - Right.
- I have lots. - Oh!
Okay! Let's see it, eh?
Wow. Look, babe. He has lots. [chuckles]
Bye, love birds.
- [Marvin] He does indeed. - [Jambi] I'll go ahead too.
[Marvin] Bye!
[Joy] But aside from old memories,
we also need to take new ones.
Proof that we're still together and still in love.
[Joy] One. Two. Faster!
[Jhim] Wait! Can you do it again? Sweeter…
- That's enough! - Just like in Hong Kong.
[engine starts]
[engine revving]
[Joy] Everybody must believe
that we are back together for real.
We must be social media official, so there are online records.
[phone chimes]
Hey.
Don't forget this is all fake.
I know. I'm just fake smiling.
Now that's a fake answer.
[phone chimes]
What a sweet smile.
["Palagi" instrumental continues]
[sniffing]
It smells like…
[Baby] Hi, Marie!
- Baby! - What a pity I have to leave.
The three of us could've bonded!
[deep breathe] Fake wife.
Future wife.
Bye.
[smooches]
I better go to work.
You better shower!
[inhales deeply]
There. Smells like Boracay.
There you go, Ton. Smells like the Philippines.
Smells like jealousy too.
- [laughs] - Correct?
- Correct! - Correct!
- [laughter]
[Joy] There must be boundaries.
Let's keep it professional. We can't get carried away.
["Palagi" instrumental continues]
- [music fades] - [Joy breathes deeply]
[soft music playing]
- [groans] - [thuds]
Joy! Are you okay?
[Joy] Yeah. I'm just looking for my slippers.
["Palagi" by TJ Monterde and KZ Tandingan playing]
[Joy] After all, this is just a show.
- Fall season is here. And they're falling. - Hmm.
I thought you were still recording.
[both squealing]
Say hi to your auntie… and to your new godfather.
[Joy] And finally, we have to make it official to our friends and families.
- Bless you. - [both chuckle]
[Joey clears throat] Ethan, don't hurt my sister again, okay?
Or else, I'll ask Papa to haunt you.
He died a year after your dad died.
[Edward] Joy, you'll be the godmother, okay?
Sure.
Be the godmother to my soon-to-be baby too.
Hey! You're too young for that!
[chuckles]
- Joy Marie Fabregas! - [chuckling]
From Ma-rinduque!
Ma-ganda! (beautiful)
Ma-talino! (smart)
And most of all…
Ma-pagmahal! (loving)
[laughter]
Whom we missed very much!
Joy is back!
[cheering]
Joy is back.
[Uno] So,are you and Ethan getting serious?
I'm just helping an old friend.
He helped me when I was in Hong Kong
wanting to go to Canada.
And now that I can,
I'm just helping him in return.
I'm also a friend yet you won't allow me to help you.
You are helping me become a nurse.
Trust me.
This is purely business.
Nothing will stop me from going to the US.
Well, am I talking to Marie, or am I talking to Joy?
Because both of them seem like they want two separate things.
[clapping, cheering]
[cheering]
Who's next?
- [Jambi] Jhim! Jhim! - [Baby] Papa Ethan!
- [Ethan] I don't want. - [Jhim] You can do it!
- [Jhim] Remember, we're getting paid here. - [cheering]
- [Jhim and Ethan whispering] - [cheering continues]
- Go, Jhim Buddy! [cheering] - [clapping]
Hello, everyone!
I am Jhim, and I am Ethan!
- And we are from Hong Kong! - Hong Kong!

They all like it.
[Jhim, Ethan, Jambi and Baby continue singing]
It's a song about

Your life's theme song.
You're almost there, Marie.

["Kung 'Di Rin Lang Ikaw" instrumental continues]
Good night.
[exhales deeply]
[Martha] I need to go home!
I need to see John!
Please! I wanna go home! Let me go home!
Martha, calm down.
I wasted all those years working and I never saw him!
I just wanna go home!
I'm stuck here all alone, and I wanna go home!
- Martha, listen to me. - [crying]
- I understand. - No, I…
I spent all those years working.
I missed so much time with him.
And for what?
I'm stuck here all alone.
I just want to go home.
I don't want to be all alone.
I just want to go home.
Please.
But this is your home now.
No, it isn't.
Home is where John is.
I don't want to be alone here.
Just go home, everyone!
Stop working and go home to your families! Go home.
Let's go home, Mama. I don't like it here.
Here we go again.
Tonton, you'll have a better future here.
Let him decide for himself, Amy.
You're doing the right thing, Amy.
Do you really want to raise
your children in the Philippines these days?
You may earn higher here, but it's more fun in the Philippines!
For me, whatever supports my family,
that is my home.
That's why Canada is home.
Careful, sis.
Instead of being a Filipino hero,
- you'll be tagged as a traitor. - [health care aide 3 laughs]
[health care aide 1] But even so,
I still want to go back home.
As soon as I get rich.
[health care aide 2] The question is, what comes first?
Getting rich or getting old?
Getting rich!
I will not grow old here.
I'll go back.
The Philippines is still my home.
For me, my son is my home.
John has my heart.
He is my home.
[food sizzling]
- Oh! - [chuckles softly]
[water running, stops]
You haven't eaten yet?
I was waiting for you.
Why?
Happy monthsary!
Wow!
This is impressive!
Why?
I just remembered
our first monthsary in Hong Kong.
Mm.
Yeah.
We had our date on our balcony, and we only had
noodles and bottled iced tea.
This is definitely a level-up!
Steak and wine! [chuckles]
- Which came from your freezer. - [chuckles]
You've come a long way, Joy.
[sighs]
Such an expensive fare coming here.
Literally,
paid with blood, sweat, and tears.
The thing I wrote on the railing, is it still there?
- "Joy is here"? - Yes.
It's gone.
Apparently,
a permanent marker is no match
for sunlight, rain, and time.
Joy is not there anymore.
Because Joy is here now.
["Kung 'Di Rin Lang Ikaw" instrumental playing]
I'm happy for who you have become
and for who you will become.
["Kung 'Di Rin Lang Ikaw" instrumental continues]
Okay! We are going to play monkey-in-the-middle!
- You're the monkey! - I'm the monkey.
[Ethan] Don't let me touch the ball. Okay?
- Ready? - [Ethan] Okay!
[Jhim] Don't let the monkey get the ball.
[Jhim] I'm the monkey.
Okay. Whoever wins,
I will buy roller blades, all right?
[indistinct chatter]
- [coughing] - I'll get you some water.
- Oh, yes, please. - Thank you.
[Jhim] Be careful.
- [Joy] Oh, Martha. The ball. - [Martha] Oh, oh. [chuckles]
- [Joy] Pass it. - [Martha chuckles]
[Baby] Ethan!
- [laughter] - [indistinct chatter]
[unsettling music playing]
ARE YOU ON YOUR WAY HOME?
ETHAN, WHERE ARE YOU? WHY AREN'T YOU REPLYING?
ARE YOU ON YOUR WAY HOME?
[exhales loudly]
[line ringing]
[busy tone]
- Dammit. - [call ends]
[grunts]
[phone ringing]
Hello, Edward?
- [call ends] - [Ethan sobs]
Something wrong?
Papa tested positive for COVID-19.
[somber music playing]
[somber music continues]
[phone ringing]
Hello, Ethan?
[Ethan] Joy…
Papa didn't make it.
I didn't make it on time.
I was late.
[sobs] I was too late.
I'm sorry.
- [sobbing] - [somber music continues]
I didn't even get to see him.
[switch clicks]
[somber music continues]
[Jhim] Ethan.
[Carlo] Buddy.
[Jhim] Joy, please.
We get you.
But he really needs you right now.
After his dad's death, his bar closed.
And that damn triad is threatening him.
Jhim, if I go there now, I might not be able to come back here.
[Jhim] Joy, we understand you.
Mrs. Smith, have you seen Mrs. Campbell?
Why? Is she missing again?
Yes. Thank you.
You know I haven't secured my status yet.
[door clacks open]
- Don't force her! - [door thuds]
- Dammit! - [can clatters]
[Ethan] Stop begging.
Dammit, Joy!
The world is ending yet all you think about is yourself!
[sobbing]
[Carlo] Joy, he's just drunk and going through a lot.
[unsettling music playing]
- Dammit! - [glass shatters]
[footsteps approaching]
[unsettling music continues]
[phone ringing]
[phone continues ringing]
- Hello, Joy? - I'm on my way there.
I got the 4 p.m. flight. That's the…
[unsettling music playing]
Joy… Joy, I'm so sorry. Joy. It's not what it seems.
Joy… Joy, I'm sorry.
[call ends]
[unsettling music continues]
[train passing by]
[music fades]
[somber music playing]
[sobs, sniffles]
[breathes deeply]
- [glass clinks] - [breathes deeply]
[line ringing]
- Jhim! - [Jhim] Hello?
Are you with Ethan?
No, they left earlier.
Maybe he's still with Baby?
- Hmm. - [car slowing down, stopping]
Never mind. He's here.
- Okay, bye. - [call ends]
It's already morning.
Baby and I talked. I didn't notice the time.
- Wow! - [door slams shut]
What did you two do? Her scent is all over you.
My baby…
Joy, we just talked.
Then why bother coming home?!
You should've stayed there and talked all night!
What kind of conversation made your hands too busy
that you couldn't even call or text to let me know where you are?
I couldn't respond because my phone died.
How convenient that your battery died!
If I only knew what you guys were really doing!
Joy, what are you saying?
I don't know! I don't know what I'm saying!
[breathes deeply]
Why are you thinking that way?
What do you want me to think?
That you just stared at each other? That you just ate?
Or you had coffee? Just said hello?
Did she hug you?
- Did you kiss her? - Joy, we just talked.
Don't make me a fool!
I'm not fooling you!
You did it before, you can do it again!
- Joy… - Don't
you dare come near me!
[exhales deeply]
Damn, Ethan.
[sniffles]
I was willing to stop for you.
[sniffles]
All my plans…
[sniffles] my dreams…
even my promise to myself that I will never go back to Hong Kong…
I was willing to let that all go.
Just to be with you.
[sniffles] But what did you do?
[sobbing]
[morose music playing]
[sobbing, sniffling]
So many trains passed by…
One, two,
three.
Thirty.
For every train that passed by,
I wanted to jump.
Just so the pain would end.
But I told myself, no.
I will not be weak like you.
[sniffs]
I'm sorry, Joy.
I'm so sorry.
I was such an asshole.
[Joy] You really are!
You're an asshole!
A stupid asshole!
But I am more stupid because…
here you are again,
and I am here again.
Shit!
[grunts]
Why did I let you into my life again?
I understand you, Joy.
That's what I told Baby too.
Baby?
What did you tell her?
That we're ending this.
End?
I talked to Baby
because she said she would report us to the IRCC.
If she does that, you'll get in trouble too.
You could lose everything.
And I don't want that to happen.
So, I told her we're going to end this.
We're going to stop.
Why?
Because she thinks this is becoming real.
It's becoming real?
That's not true, right?
No.
No, she's wrong.
It's wrong.
That's why we should make it right.
I don't want to!
- You don't want what? - I don't know!
What do you want?
I don't know!
I don't like that I'm jealous because I shouldn't be!
I don't like that I'm mad that you're ending this
because I shouldn't be!
I don't like that I'm happy when I'm with you
because I shouldn't be!
I hate that I don't want to end this because I should!
Why?
Joy, I will only do what you want me to do.
Do you want me to leave?
Do you want me to stay?
Do you want me back?
Do you still love me?
I don't.
I don't love you.
["Palagi", by TJ Monterde and KZ Tandingan playing]
["Palagi" continues]
[music fades]
Marie. It's Martha…
[footsteps approaching]
[somber music playing]
[sobs, sniffles]
They found this by her bedside.
She wanted you to have it.
[sobs, sniffles]
- [somber music continues] - [sniffles]
[sobbing, sniffles]
She's with John now.
[sniffles]
Hey. Why so sad?
Let's just do grocery therapy.
You can't be sad.
Joy is back now, right?
[chuckles]
Ethan! Let's go!
Let's go?
Hmm.
[Jambi] Let's get going!
- [Ethan] Let me. - [Joy] Thank you.
[squeals] Oh my! Joy!
There's a letter from the US embassy!
I'm sure it's your US visa! [giggles]
Um…
I just realized I'm fully stocked.
You guys go.
[Joy] I'm sorry.
I didn't think it would come this soon.
I should've told you.
You don't have to tell me anything.
We're not together.
You'll be a nurse soon.
Amazing.
Finally, Canada and then America.
That has always been your plan, right?
How about you?
[soft music playing]
I'm staying, Joy.
My journey ends here.
I can't leave my responsibilities behind to chase after other people.
I have to commit to this.
For my brothers and myself.
[soft music continues]
I want to hold you so bad right now.
I want to embrace you.
I want to stop you.
I want to make you choose.
But I won't do that.
Because we're way past that.
[soft music continues]
It's enough that despite how big the world is…
our paths crossed again.
It's enough for me…
that no matter how far you've already gone,
once in your journey…
you stopped for me…
even for just a while.
Am I for a love that lasts, Ethan?
[soft music continues]
I hope you find the answers to the questions
that only you can answer.
And if one day we see each other again,
don't be a stranger, okay?
You can always say "hello".
[soft music continues]
This is the last time I'll say this…
Goodbye, Joy.
[soft music continues]
[sniffles]
[Amy] This is so sad.
This is why Tonton doesn't like goodbyes.
Oh my God! You're leaving now?
Canada will miss you.
And so will the people in Canada.
- [groaning] - I'll miss you.
- [engine revving] - [soft music playing]
[Martha] My dearest Marie,
the last bracelet I will leave you is for joy and happiness.
It's everything you deserve,
as you have given me and all those who needed family
love and care.
Marie, I'm going to John now.
My joy, my home, my tahanan.
What a beautiful name you have for home.
A place of peace where one stops crying.
Where you can come back to when you're tired,
afraid, empty, and lonely.
A home that will fill you with so much love,
strength, and courage,
until you're ready to go out to face the world again.
A home that embraces you, no matter who you have become,
and forgives you when you fail to become.
A home that welcomes you with the warmest hello,
no matter how long you've been gone.
A home where love stays,
no matter how many times you say goodbye
and waits for your next return.
A home where joy can be found.
Often times, we leave our homes to become more
and give more to our loved ones.
But sometimes we lose ourselves in doing that.
And when we finally want to come home,
we realize that no one is there anymore.
I don't wish that for you.
["Palagi", by TJ Monterde and KZ Tandingan playing]
Can I see you again?
I love you!
I don't love you!
["Palagi" continues]
Fellow Filipino!
[Martha] I hope you find your tahanan, Marie.
And when you do,
I hope you come home.
Let's go back.
[driver] Are you sure?
Yes.
[bright music playing]
[knocking]
["Palagi" instrumental playing]
What can I do for you?
["Palagi" instrumental continues]
Hello.
Didn't I promise you
that I will come back?
And didn't I promise to wait?
Now you're back.
Because you are my home.
You are my more.
You are my joy.
["Palagi", by TJ Monterde and KZ Tandingan playing]
[officiant] Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome Mr. and Mrs. Ethan and Joy Del Rosario!
[Joy] Some places we stay in forever.
Some places are mere stopovers.
And there are places we always come back to.
Our home.
[Ethan] Just like people,
there are those you come back to,
no matter how far or long the journey has been.
[Joy] That is you, Ethan.
[Ethan] And that is you, Joy.
[Joy] Wherever we go…
[Ethan] No matter how long we're apart…
[Joy] I will come home to you.
Because from now until the end,
you are my home.
["Palagi", by TJ Monterde and KZ Tandingan playing]
It's not yet boarding.
[Jhim] Joy! Ethan!
- Can they still make it? - [Joy] Yes!
- [Amy] Can we still make it? - [Ethan] Yes!
- Thank goodness. - Go on!
Tonton is happy now.
You made it.
Thank you very much for everything.
Take care you two, please.
If we get you an LMIA, please come back.
It depends on Tonton.
Because, you know wherever Tonton finds his joy,
I'll be there.
I'm sorry, Canada is not for me.
[Jhim] That's all right. You're still young.
You'll find your joy too.
- Go ahead. - [Amy] Okay, hurry.
- Have a safe flight. - Take care.
["Dahil Sa 'yo", by Inigo Pascual playing]
[Jhim clears throat]
My Jambi…
[giggling]
I'll take you home.
- [Jhim] We'll go ahead. - [Marvin] Take care.
Let's go home?
But I'm already home.
Where?
In your heart.
[both chuckle]
