March 17, 2016

Benny tells Lola Flora that Cardo has returned home. She asks if there’s any news on Junior’s whereabouts. He tells her no. Yolly offers him breakfast, but he politely declines because he won’t stay long. Lola Flora wants him to rest, but Cardo doesn’t want to waste time. Benny exclaims that Junior is probably lost. Onyok tells the adult Junior will never get lost- he’s a smart kid. He earned a medal after all. Onyok adds that maybe Junior was kidnapped like he was before. Cardo hopes that isn’t the case. Onyok tells Benny and Elmo that they were wrong. Junior wasn’t safe in Joaquin’s house.

Belinda is combing her son’s hair. She asks him what’s wrong when he looks at her strangely. Jordan asks if she’s having difficulty of taking care of him due to his condition. Belinda tells him a mother will do anything for her child, and promises to take care of him even when he grows up. Her son embraces her as Belinda’s eyes start to tear up. In the living room, she looks over her son’s photo album. She wonders if she can still see him grow old and continue to add pictures to the album. Her phone rings and she answers it. Ivan informs her they finally found a donor, but initial laboratory tests need to be done. He requests her to pay the initial 300K downpayment. He thanks her for the trust she’s given him. Belinda tells him it’s simply not trust---it’s desperation. Ivan tells her he will never fail her. Suddenly, she recalls Glen and Cardo crying in the Dialysis Center.

Tomas tells Verna things are going well for them. Junior is gone. Joaquin’s stressor is gone. If this continues, Carmen and Joaquin might separation. Verna asks why he’s so sure Junior will never return. She tells him if the child is really with him. Tomas responds that he will never return Junior if the boy is actually with him. Joaquin sees their exchange. He still doubts his father and promises to discover the truth.

Cardo sees Lola Flora praying in the living room. Lola cries and regrets why she didn’t fight for Junior before Carmen’s marriage to Joaquin. Junior should have stayed with him. Cardo embraces her and promises to return Junior.

Tomas is looking over a portfolio of children and asks one of his men how many kids they have. He instructs them to inform Fernan to double time.

Fernan and his companion argue whether Tomas will notice one of the kids disappear. Fernan tells him to go outside and check if there are any people. He covers Junior with a handkerchief and the boy faints. Fernan’s phone rings. Ivan asks where the child is. Fernan tells him there was a slight problem. Ivan tells him he needs to hurry since Belinda also gave her downpayment. Joaquin arrives at the warehouse and proceeds to the room where the children are held. However, Fernan has taken the back door to leave the warehouse. Fernan’s companion sees Joaquin. Joaquin asks where his father is. He answers Tomas is in his office. Fernan is on his way to Ivan with Junior.

Joaquin demands the truth from his dad. Annoyed, Tomas orders all the children to be brought and be videotaped one by one.

Glen posts Junior’s picture in the Missing List. She calls Cardo to ask him Junior is kidnapped by the same syndicate they’re after. Cardo replies he’s unsure. Glen tells him she’s there to support him.

As the children are videotaped, Joaquin remains unconvinced. He asks his dad whether his men are hiding Junior. Tomas sighs and tells Joaquin to search the entire place.

Cardo and the other 2 CIDG members discuss Junior’s last whereabouts. Cardo bursts is anger when he learns the request for the CCTV is still being progressed. The other policeman doesn’t like the tone of Cardo’s voice and tells him they too, are doing their best. Cardo tells them he can’t waste time.

Art Acuna gathers the men because they finally have an update on Junior. Based on the CCTV recording, Junior was kidnapped. Cardo recalls it is the same vehicle that was used to kill Glen’s witness. He tells everyone about it. Art says Junior’s kidnapper is the same syndicate involved with illegal organs. As protocol, Billy, Cardo and Joaquin cannot participate in this case.

Cardo follows Delfin to his office. He tells his lolo-uncle he can’t do this to him. Delfin tells him it’s the protocol. Cardo says he will never stop looking for Junior and leaves. Delfin exhales, knowing what Cardo will do. He wishes him luck.

Greg and Dino tell Joaquin to rest since he’s not involved in the case. Greg asks if he cares for the boy. Joaquin replies he needs to find the boy first. If Cardo finds the kid, “lalong lalaki ang utang na loob ni Carmen sa kanya.”

Glen and Cardo are disguised as a couple and visit Belinda’s restaurant. In their seats, Glen whispers what they’re doing is unofficial. Cardo curtly tells her she can leave if she doesn’t want to participate. She touches his hands and says she will help him, knowing that Junior is in the hands of the syndicate.

Belinda notices and approaches them. Glen asks if she’s the owner. Belinda nods. She asks the couple how their son is doing. Glen says he’s not doing well. Cardo asks Belinda if they can talk to her.

Verna, Rachel and Cita continue to comfort Carmen who’s uncontrollable with her tears. Verna tells her Joaquin will help find her son.

Cardo tells Belinda his son might not last. To  add the urgency, Glen mentions the Doctor gave their child only a month to live. Belinda sympathizes with them. They ask if she knows anyone from the Black Market they can contact. Belinda arches her brows as Cardo and Glen bombard her with questions about the Black Market. Belinda clears to them she doesn’t know anyone from such Market and walks out. Cardo is pissed.

Cardo drives Glen home. She asks him what they will do since Belinda’s not spilling the beans.He replies they won't stop until they find their answers from her. Glen asks what if Belinda begins to suspect their motives. 

Belinda tells her friend her lingering doubts and suspicion about Glen & Cardo. She worries Ivan sent the couple to test her on the facility's confidentiality. Her friend is outraged that Belinda will push through her plan. She asks what if the couple belong to the other side. Belinda asks if her friend believes they're a legit couple with a sick son, but her friend clarifies her the possibility that they belong to the side of the law. 

Verna tells Cita that Carmen is a good woman and that she doesn't deserve what's happening to her. While folding laundry, Cita tells Verna she finally sees how mothers feel when they're children are kidnapped by syndicates. 

To continue:

Glen’s family assures her Cardo will eventually find Junior.

At Belinda’s residence, she’s walking around the living room and takes a peek outside. Her maid asks if Belinda noticed the car too. The car has been parking outside their house for days.

Glen is talking with Cardo on the phone. She advises him to rest. She adds they will do everything to find Junior, even if she continues to pretend as his wife. Her father overhears the conversation and calls the entire household, exclaiming she’s Cardo’s wife. Glen’s sister asks if she’s secretly married to him. She clarifies they are just pretending and explains the situation.

Keana , her mom, and  ang mga madling people visit Lola Flora’s house. They ask if there’s any news on Junior. They tell Lola they will pray for him. Keana gives Onyok a muffin. Benny wants a taste, but Yolly tells him the muffin is for Onyok and Lola Flora. Keana adds it’s for Junior too. Cardo appears and tells his grandmother he will leave. Lola Flora also tells him she will leave and visit TV station and radio stations. Cardo instructs Benny to accompany her. Onyok volunteers to go as well.

Junior awakens and huddles under his sheet when one of Dr, Ivan’s Medical Team (Not sure if Nurse or Medtech) appears in front of him. Junior asks where he is. But the Medic tells him to eat. Junior pleads her to return him to Carmen.

Cardo sees Junior’s face in the Missing List. His phone rings and he answers it.  Carmen asks for news about her son. He tells her there’s none, but promises to call her for any updates. Joaquin overhears their phone call. After the call ends, he angrily marches towards her, snatches and  throws the phone on the floor. 

“Hindi ba ako sapat sa iyo?” he rages. “Ako lang dapat ang hahanap kay Junior!”

Carmen tells him she’s exhausting all means to find her son, that’s why she called Cardo and asked for his help. Upon hearing Cardo's name, HE SLAPS HER!

Shocked, Carmen tries to feel the pain of Joaquin’s slap and gapes at him with fear in her eyes. Joaquin realizes what he’s done and looks at her, unsure of what to say or do.

Comments:

Mukhang paganda ng paganda ang Probinsyano ah, lalo na't nadama ni Carmen ang malakas na sampal ni Joaquin. Ito na kaya ang simula ng hiwalayan nila?

I hope CarCar fans will watch the show again, even if she's married to Joaquin. Malakas ang kutob ko mamatay si Joaquin. Ito lang kasi ang paraan na mabigyan ng hustisya si Carmen.

*Nothing per orem (NPO)= Do eating of meals
